News – Plans for a new Canadian Tire store and possibly three other retail stores at Winners Circle and Baskin Drive are one step closer to reality after the Feb. 24 Arnprior council meeting. A request by owner Harden Group to change Arnprior’s official plan and zoning for the 5.58 acres of vacant land has moved forward. Members of the public can provide input at a public meeting scheduled for Monday, March 24 at 6:30 p.m. at town hall. The developer is proposing a 50,000-square-foot Canadian Tire store and about 36,000 square feet of other retail/commercial space. The requested change, from Highway Commercial to Shopping Centre Com-

mercial, fits with the existing property usage, said town planner Robin Smith. “If no concerns are raised at the public meeting, bylaws will be on the same council meeting agenda for council’s consideration,” said Smith. Shopping Centre Commercial includes a number of uses and there are several requested additions to the list, including automotive-service station (part of Canadian Tire’s services), garden centre, banks and institutions and shopping plaza. All additions are permitted under the existing Highway Commercial designation. Deputy Mayor Dan Lynch, who filled in for David Reid, expressed gratitude to the developers. “On behalf of the Town of Arnprior, many thanks for selecting Arnprior for this development,” said Lynch.

Arnprior infant diagnosed with rare syndrome Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Community – It’s among every parent’s worst nightmares. Matt and Melody Cameron of Arnprior had two boys and were delighted to be having a little girl when Briar was born in June, 2013, completing the family. It wasn’t long, however, before the Camerons noticed something about Briar was different and she needed medical attention. Many trips to CHEO and countless procedures later, the Camerons were told Briar has McCune Albright Syn-

drome (MAS). The syndrome is extremely rare, affecting 1-9 in 1,000,000 and 7.1 per cent of children with it develop Cushing’s Syndrome, including Briar. Those with liver and heart involvement have worse prognosis and unfortunately, Briar currently has evidence of both. Briar, now seven-and-a-half months, requires regular physician and hospital visits, medical treatments and expensive medicine that is not covered by insurance. A campaign is underway to help fundraise for the family. See FUNDRAISING Page 3

A medication Briar needs four times per day comes from Paris, France and is not currently covered under any insurance plan. “It’s special access medication; every time we need to order it, we need to reďŹ le,â€? said Mel. Just getting the needed medicine has been tough. “We went to ďŹ ll our prescription on Friday and they only had 24 capsules left and were waiting for more. They weren’t sure when they’d get more. We can’t run out of it,â€? she said. Then comes the task of calling pharmacies, including in the U.S., to track down more. “For the most part, she’s doing a bit better now,â€? said Melody. “She just made it to 10 pounds, which is very exciting, especially since she had been losing weight.â€? First learning about the diagnosis is something Mel will never forget. “That right there just kind of crushed our world,â€? she said. “Hearing McCune Albright Syndrome and we kind of said ‘What is that?’â€? Effects are many and varied and include the Cushing’s Syndrome. Briar suffers from precocious puberty, hyperthyroidism, has developed uid pockets in the lining of her heart, has thickening of the heart walls and trouble with her kidneys. There is usually bone involvement, something that has not surfaced for Briar yet, though that sometimes doesn’t present until the age of 5. And though she’s been through so much in her young life, Briar is big on smiles. “She is so happy,â€? said Mel. “Though she’s very sceptical of people she doesn’t know now, which is not surprising, since most people she meets are poking her and doing things to her.â€? Briar’s brothers, who are 3 and 5 years old, couldn’t love her more and Mel’s mother is always on hand to help run the house in the couple’s absence. The syndrome has had its effects on the whole family. “They love their sister, they think she’s fantastic,â€? said Mel. “But they do keep asking ‘Why does she have to take all this medicine and why do we have to be so careful?’ We explained that her body doesn’t know how to work properly.â€? The MAS means the Camerons will stick close to Ottawa. “We are never going to be able to live somewhere far from a children’s hospital,â€? said Mel. And since Briar has a compromised immune system, for the most part the only place she goes out is to CHEO. “We try to keep her away from crowds and groups and the boys know - when you come home, you go, take

The family is extremely grateful for those who have come forward. “They have said time and time again how thankful they are for the local support they have felt and know how very blessed they are to live in this small and caring community,â€? said Dewar.

Chamber seeks Recreation, library greements still an option, Campbell tells business group award nominations derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Library and recreation agreements are still an “option,� says Mary Campbell. The McNab-Braeside mayor, during a speech where she appeared embattled yet combative, told a roomful of area business leaders that the township may yet work out a deal with Arnprior for use of leisure and sporting facilities. Campbell, with Arnprior Mayor David Reid and Arnprior Regional Health CEO Eric Hanna, spoke to the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce on past and future issues during a Feb. 18 breakfast at the legion. “It’s been an exhausting year of ups and downs,� Campbell said, after offering up a definition of her township: “We live within our means and share what we have among ourselves and with our neighbours. We believe that your money and land is yours. But sometimes we and/or the province want to pursue shared community initiatives in which we all have equal opportunity to benefit.�

She pointed out the demographic changes: more children and fewer seniors, a growing income gap, and rising costs for basics liking home heating. It all points to pressures on equality of services, she suggested. The controversial agreements issue that has dogged her last year as mayor was the subtext to most of what Campbell said. And it promises to play a prominent role in this municipal election year. On the library side, she said it was basically solved by substituting the funding of it from township revenue to a resident rebate. If the town library charges an out-of-town rate of $60, residents will get $45 back from the township. However, after reading a Chronicle-Guide story outlining library cutbacks due to the township pulling out of the agreement, Campbell said there are parts of the operation she is willing to fund - the $20,000 annual cost for the library to remain open Saturdays, for example. “Now we’ve got specifics,� she said. “Now we are filling in

Mayor Mary Campbell the black holes.� Campbell insisted throughout the speech that dollar amounts are less important than the transparency and accountability. Town Coun. Lynn Grinstead interrupted to say the provincial library act won’t allow for targeted funding. Campbell’s response suggested blanket funding is unacceptable. “There is no room for discretionary spending in the public sector,� Campbell insisted. On recreation – which includes funding for minor hockey,

figure skating and other sports – Campbell said the township “still has options.� “I don’t know if council is finished with that,� she said, adding that funding will still have to be affordable and beneficial to all residents. Council has yet to finalize the township budget for 2014. Among the positive developments listed by Campbell were: hirings of new public works director, building official, treasurer, deputy clerk and fire chief; Braeside post office re-opened; Bruce Firestone’s report; conceptual design of new accessible municipal office; upgrades to Campbell Drive, Creek Side and Kippen roads; archery program; new boat launch opening at Red Pine Bay; and a new dock at Clay Bank Park. She ended off by saying McNab-Braeside decisions are no reflection on its neighbours, as they are frequently interpreted. Her analogy was that when the U.S. and Great Britain opted to wage war on Iraq, Canada sided with the U.N. and decided not to participate, but remained good friends with its two allies.

Changes at town hall needed first to pave way for attracting economic growth: Reid Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Mayor David Reid and the rest of Arnprior council were swept in on the promise of change four years ago. But with another municipal election less than a year away, some observers are wondering where the visible improvements are. A new manufacturer and community college have arrived; the box stores and downtown shops have not. That could change soon now that a major retailer is in talks with town staff, Reid has hinted. Canadian Tire is planning to move and expand its Arnprior store to the Winners Circle area. Reid alluded to the lack of improvements during his speech to the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce (GACC) on Feb. 18. He, McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell and Arnprior Regional Health CEO Eric Hanna talked about yearend and year-ahead issues to a room of about 30 business leaders following a breakfast at the legion. “Next year we’ll be more visible after getting a strong foundation in place,� Reid said. “We didn’t have all our ducks in

Mayor David Reid a row.� There were quite a few vacancies “initiated by council� after the first six months of its term. He is loath to share details, other than to say the right team was not in place. There is no doubt disarray reigned at town hall, he said, noting the treasurer was taking files home to backlog on a personal computer. Since then three years of financial audits had to be done over a 13-month period. Almost $400,000 owing to the town was recouped. “We were very vulnerable. It would have been devastating if anything went wrong,� Reid said during a later interview. “I don’t think we could have recovered.� When asked if the last council

is to blame, Reid said staff “also need to take responsibilityâ€? and that “good peopleâ€? were doing the best they could. He doesn’t regret beginning the improvements at town hall before moving outward to the commercial areas and the recent initiatives designed to attracted development to town. Much of his GACC speech was spent talking about internal changes at town hall: • corporate structure reorganized; • vacancies filled and job descriptions updated; • long awaited union job evaluations (pay scale) resolved; • job evaluation plan put in place for non-union workers; • performance evaluations and training done; • advisory committees cut from seven to three to free up staff time; • along with other changes to make town hall more businesslike. The town’s budget process was streamlined and converted to the “pay-as-you-goâ€? model. That means no new borrowing despite a long history of both internal and external borrowing. And a $1.5 million contribution to reserves was made over the last five years.

A 10-year capital forecast is now in place to predict and save ahead for replacement of everything from vehicles to facilities. Almost $726,000 was obtained in grants from higher levels of government, despite austerity measures taking a toll on the economies of western nations. Reid mentioned preparing the downtown and waterfront to attract investors, along with a new town hall as a possible option to overcome the current accessibility-challenged one. He won’t discuss details of a possible box store moving to town, nor about promising talks with at least one more retailer. He only assures that doors are getting banged on. “We are knocking on doors all the time. We are talking with people all the time,� he said. “I came from the commercial side. You’ve got to make cold calls and you’ve got to sell yourself.� He said “a lot of the groundwork� is in place to attract business to town, including the addition of a new economic development officer and modernized branding of the town website and distribution materials. However, he added that at the end of the day the market will decide.

Kids fun day to showcase new Arnprior Fair midway Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Community - The Arnprior Agricultural Society has a special way to showcase its new midway and drum up support for this year’s event. Ag society president Jeff Desarmia said the kids fun day this Saturday, March 1 at the Nick Smith Centre is sure to be a good time. “This is to introduce a brand new midway to Arnprior,� said Desarmia. Burlington-based Kenny G Amusements will bring its rides and midway to the 2014 edition of the fair. “They’ve been around for quite some time, 1520 years, but they’ve always played in southern Ontario, they’re brand new to eastern Ontario,� Desarmia added. Kenny G features include newer, updated rides and a distinct area for features aimed at the younger children attending the fair. FUN DAY

The fun day will fea-

ture fair food, including candy floss and candy apples, indoor train rides and bounce houses. There will be poster boards outlining some of the rides the company will be bringing to the 160th edition of the Arnprior Fair, scheduled for Aug. 10-14. “Here’s a little taste of what you’re going to get,� said Desarmia. “It’s the first time we’ve ever tried it up here.� The $5 admission charge for Saturday’s celebration goes to support the fair. The fun day runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre at 77 James St., Arnprior. NEW ENTHUSIASM

Desarmia, who has been involved with the Arnprior and Ontario agricultural societies for more than 30 years, said there’s a new enthusiasm at the Arnprior fair board table this year with a revival of some of the more traditional fair features, including 4-H and livestock shows planned. “We’re returning to some smaller livestock

sarmia made note the provincial government’s decisions will shape this year’s and future events. Government changes and decisions have put some of the fair board’s plans on hold.

The project will expand the facility to accommodate the changing needs of the area resulting from shifting demographics and technological advancements, and will improve access to high quality specialized cardiac services for residents in the Champlain Local Health Integration Network region. New construction at the facility will: • add five floors of clinical and in-patient services; • expand support services such as biomedical engineering and data services; • add about 146,000 square feet of space, close to 90,000 of which will house life support services such as cardiac catheterization, cardiac surgery and the cardiac surgery intensive care unit. Redevelopment work at the existing facility will: • include renovation of about 60,000 square feet of space, • provide support services for the heart catheterization/ electrophysiology suite, surgical suite and the cardiac intensive care unit, • relocate the cardiac imaging suite.

EDITORIAL

Olympics memorable after all Opinion - Local interest in the Socchi Winter Olympics got off to a slow start. But that certainly changed in a hurry in the last week of the Games. The heart-stopping come-from-behind win by the women’s hockey team over arch-rival U.S. had people stopping what they were doing to watch Feb. 20. The Canadian men’s 1-0 victory over the U.S. in hockey the next day was just as exciting. Downtown business people, students at Arnprior District High School and workers in local plants were either listening or watching the drama unfold. Then the icing on the cake, a gold medal shutout win over Sweden as the Olympics wound down Sunday. The women’s and men’s curling teams also made Canada, and especially our many curlers, proud. Arnprior Curling Club members had no doubt. They scheduled gold medal game parties, certain that they would have Canadian teams to cheer on in the final games. They were right. But it was earlier, on Sunday, Feb. 16, when Olympic fever really started to take hold in Arnprior. That was when an energetic committee led by Sylvia Murdoch, Stephen Dodd, Neil Slater and others drummed up local support for a John Leslie day in Arnprior. Our own Paralympian flew back from a snowboard cross event in Europe to grace his home town with his presence. He must have been exhausted, but accompanied by his proud parents

(a reminder that family support is so important to the athletes), Leslie cheerfully made appearances at the Cupboard, Nick Smith Centre and the Prior Sports Bar to tirelessly sign autographs, chat with fans and accept accolades. His appearances inspired a growing interest and appreciation for the Olympics and the sacrifices athletes, both Olympians and Paralympians, make to represent their countries. It was truly moving to hear the thunderous ovation Leslie received when he stepped out on the ice for the opening ceremonies of the NHL Alumni-Law Enforcement all-stars hockey game benefit for Special Olympics at the Nick Smith Centre that day. It was also heart-warming that with all the VIPs present, it was local Special Olympian Lindsay Trafford who was front and centre at the ceremonial first puck. That’s in keeping with the best of the Olympic spirit. The large turnout at both the Cupboard and the Prior of people passing on best wishes to Leslie was also gratifying. It showed that Olympic spirit and hometown pride are alive and well in Arnprior. The organizers who made John Leslie Day a success on short notice deserve a hearty pat on the back. They, our inspiring Paralympian and Canada’s Olympic athletes, particularly the 25 medal winners, have turned what threatened to be a ho-hum Games into an Olympics to remember. And we still have the Paralympics from March 7 to 16 to get excited about.

Idling trucks waste town taxpayers’ dollars To the Editor: Let me share with your readers an incident I found ironic in view of all the press concerning budget cuts by the town, new user fees and service cuts at our beloved library. Yesterday, Feb. 20, a mild day, a convoy of town trucks plus one Antrim Contracting truck and various other heavy equipment were removing snowbanks on a side street. All the drivers were on mid-morning break (well deserved I’m sure, considering the hours they endured this winter). Stand-

ing around, relaxing - good. Five heavy diesel engines running throughout the 15 minutes - not good. Only two had their engines shut down - the Antrim Contracting truck and one plow. Nearby were also idling pick-up trucks and small front loaders. The fumes were unbelievable. This was a high density residential street. But my main point is this: where does the money come from to pay for all that wasted fuel going up in smoke for nothing. Is diesel fuel going for peanuts these days?

To the Editor: Really folks, we could expect nothing less than this from these Canadians in Sochi, known for their heart, their true grit, their respect for a wonderful leader in their sport, their penchant for pulling little covert stunts, be it placing a

I would like to highlight a special effort that the War Amps is undertaking; the Newsreel of the Week Project. These newsreels were filmed by the Canadian Army Film Unit during the Second World War to document the troops in training and on the front lines. The front-line cameramen were soldiers first. In addition to camera instruction, they received infantry training and took guns into battle along with their heavy 35-mm movie cameras. Putting their lives at risk, they captured footage of the battles and scooped the world on major events, including the invasion of Sicily and D-Day. Many civilians on the home front would have watched the newsreels in movie theatres during the war. The public can view this extraordinary footage as the War Amps releases all 106 newsreels to the public, one week at a time. Or, for home viewing, you can order the six-DVD set at cost-recovery price on waramps.ca.

Maybe I could accept idling engines on town vehicles when it is -25 centigrade but come on. This is just a blatant waste of taxpayer dollars. It can be seen year-round with all kinds of town equipment. What other money burners are ignored by town officials? Perhaps if some belttightening programs were implemented at street level, Town officials could ease up on the service cuts and new fees.

‘Looney’ at centre ice, or giving the IOC the middle finger by honouring Sarah Burke with a covert act of bringing her to Sochi and leaving a part of her there. Her story brings tears to my eyes, and pride, and more pride that she is so honoured by her peers of all

Opposition leaders: come together to restore Canada’s democracy To the Editor: An open letter to Thomas Mulcair and Justin Trudeau The Citizens’ Forum for Democracy is an Eastern Ontario group of supporters of three opposition parties, together with independents including supporters of the former federal Progressive Conservative Party. We believe our views reect those of the majority of Canadians that are distressed at the grave loss of our democracy, and we call on Thomas Mulcair and Justin Trudeau to recognize that, together with Elizabeth May, they share the leadership of a mainstream majority of Canadians whose interests seriously need their joint attention. Our concerns began in 2008 when Prime Minister Harper prorogued Parliament rather than face a likely vote of non-conďŹ dence, so preventing a coalition of political parties representing a majority of Canadian voters to become government. This interruption of the normal democratic process under our parliamentary system can now be seen as the beginning of an agenda to use our outdated electoral system to enable an ideological minority to bring about transformative changes to our country that directly contradict the values of the majority of Canadians and that have destroyed our standing abroad. Two most egregious examples stand out. First, this government’s aggressive efforts to sabotage international agreements to combat climate change were a primary factor in

Canada’s humiliating defeat in 2010 when we sought a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. Secondly, after winning a majority of seats in the 2011 federal election with the support of less than one-quarter of eligible voters, this government, using unfair omnibus bills and limits on debate, has gutted or eliminated longstanding programs that are the lifeblood of a modern progressive society - in such areas as the environment, science, statistics, libraries and culture. That such extreme departures from Canada’s mainstream culture have been imposed by a political minority is clearly a profound failure of our democracy that calls urgently for a reformed electoral system to ensure that the wishes, needs and opinions of all Canadians are properly reected in Parliament. The Law Commission of Canada, in its 2004 report to the Minister of Justice, counselled that this can best be accomplished with the ‘mixed member’ proportional voting system used in most democracies. To accomplish this a new government will be needed. However, notwithstanding its poor current polling numbers, thoughtful observers predict that if the opposition Parties continue to split the mainstream vote the Harper government could well be re-elected under our outdated voting system. For this reason, the Citizens’ Forum for Democracy appeals to Thomas Mulcair and Justin Trudeau, together with Elizabeth May, to temporarily put the interests of the country above

their normal partisan rivalry. We respectfully ask them to prevail upon their parties to co-operate to the extent necessary for the next federal election to ensure the election of a government representing mainstream Canada – even possibly a ‘mainstream alliance’ – with the primary goal of bringing in

The mysterious winter tree walkers are back Lifestyle - Over the years I have received innumerable requests for confirmation of identification of everything from caterpillars to birds, from tracks to feathers. But of all the requests, none have surprised me more than those concerning one rather common local bird. Occasionally misidentified as owls and commonly mistaken for hawks, the mystery birds have been Ruffed Grouse. Actually that is not too surprising. If you have seen a Ruffed Grouse up close, you’ll have seen that its beak is neither straight like that of a sandpiper nor broad like that of a duck. It is hefty and down-curved with a distinct hooked tip, not unlike the bill of a predatory bird. But most unusual are the feet. Grouse bear hefty, strong toes covered in plate-like scales. On the end of each toe resides an impressive claw, one that gives the impression it might be owned by a hawk.

So why do grouse, forest birds that spend much time walking on the ground, bear such impressive weapons? Do they kill and devour small animals? The answer is a qualified: “No!” Ruffed Grouse eat mainly leaves, fruit, seeds, twigs, and buds. But they also eat insects and other invertebrates such as millipedes that they find in the duff layer atop the soil. But they do not eat small mammals or birds. The strong claws and tough foot scales provide excellent grip on branches as well as allow grouse to scratch through leaves when snow is not covering the ground. In winter, the mainstay of grouse is twigs and buds. They most actively feed during the crepuscular times of day, which are near dawn and dusk. This time of year grouse are often seen high up in trees, walking on branches and snapping off buds with their

impressive bills. Their favourites are the young male flowers of trembling aspen. If you examine grouse feet in summer and again in winter, you would see a dramatic difference in their appearance. In winter a row of scale-like projections adorns each side of the toes. These projections act like snowshoes, expanding the foot’s surface area and allowing their owner to walk atop snow. As winter wanes, these “snowshoes” break off and the toes regain their slim but muscular shape. Ruffed Grouse are unusual birds in other respects. During cold nights and occasionally cold days they bury themselves deep into the snow, gaining warmth from its cover. Many are those who have nearly had heart failure when a grouse unexpectedly burst out from near underfoot. In spring the males produce thundering drumrolls by rap-

idly beating their wings toward their chest while standing atop a log. Air rushing into the vacuum created by this motion produces that familiar spring sound. This winter I have received a number of photos of Ruffed Grouse, some dead, some alive. This suggests an increase in their population. So with buds now swelling, when sunsets are golden, be sure to look up for tree walkers in your neighbourhood! The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca. MICHAEL RUNTZ

Right, look for Ruffed Grouse up in poplars near sunset.

MNR issues flood outlook News – While the return of cold weather has alleviated the situation, the rain and mild temperatures late last week prompted authorities to issue flood-related advisories. The Ministry of Natural Resources issuing a flood ‘outlook’ Feb. 20 for Renfrew County watersheds. An outlook alert is not a flood warning, but an alert about a potential change in the watersheds. In the outlook, which remained in effect until Monday, the MNR advised municipalities and the public to exercise caution around lakes and fast-flowing rivers and streams and to consider taking precautionary steps to protect property in low-lying or flood prone areas. The public was asked to stay away from rivers and creeks because of increasing water flows, slippery river banks and weakened ice

The OPP also suggest you wear a flotation suit.”

Just about every homeowner in the country can be excused from looking forward to their next heating and utility bill. They know what rising energy costs have in store for them in those dreaded envelopes. Fortunately for residents in the Metro Ottawa and valley region, Absolute Insulation Inc. offers a wide range of affordable solutions to reduce heating and air-conditioning costs and to improve the health of our in-home environments. Headquartered in Renfrew, Absolute Insulation Inc.’s owner Chris Suitor has been fortunate to have partnered with well-known home construction and insulation expert Jeff Furniss (Canadian Urethane Foam Contractors Assn - CUFCA certiďŹ ed). With Jeff’s expertise and talent and Absolute’s environmentally-friendly and effective products (closed-cell polyurethane spray-foam and blownin Owens Corning Propink), any type of home can realize substantial energy reduction beneďŹ ts as well as soundprooďŹ ng with minimal intrusion and installation times. Absolute can provide vapor barriers where needed and avoid higher costs for those walls, ceilings, and other building components that already have their own moisture protection. Polyurethane spray-foam has the highest R-value of any building and home insulation and can reduce heating/air-conditioning costs by up to 50%. It can be added to existing walls, ceilings, and oors without specialized retaining systems and without intrusion. This makes sprayfoam insulation one of the most costeffective ways to get a grip on spiraling heating and air-conditioning costs.

The first building permit and site plan control request came before council in August, 2013. After several attempts, meetings and changes, said Chapeski, one issue remained – the minimum square footage for the house. When the issue came before council on Dec. 10, 2013

it was decided the township would seek recommendations from planner Bruce Howarth. Chapeski did that and said a resolution was reached. The revised site plan was completed Jan. 24 and Chapeski was told she would see council at the next available meeting to submit the remaining requirement. Chapeski said she was told the meeting would be held on Feb. 3, so was surprised to hear of the interim bylaw that stops work indefinitely. “I have invested a substantial amount of time and money to complying with repeatedly

changed requirements in an attempt to develop this property to suit a growing established business in McNab-Braeside Township,” Chapeski said in her recent request to be exempted from the interim bylaw. “My business has endured losses and will continue to suffer due to delays.” Being next to the business will not only allow her to serve customers before and after hours, if needed, it will help she and husband Len keep an eye for any potential thieves or vandals. The matter has been referred the township’s planning committee. Coun. Brad McIlquham said it was his understanding there were “a couple” of items that aren’t finalized.

Campbell attempted to clarify the situation for ratepayers, including Chapeski, with applications in process. “I’d like to think about how we handle applications and/or preliminary inquiries already underway,” she said. Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie said the interim bylaw only impacts those ratepayers proposing residential use of the affected properties. “If it does not include a residential – it can move forward as any other application would,” she said. Campbell said she had an ethical hesitation pertaining to the issue. “You start things in good faith and we’re changing the rule here,” she said. “This could come back to bite us.

He moved to have the planning committee look at the request. “If we have the actual people working on this file, it’s a lot easier to talk directly with them, rather than hearsay.” The interim bylaw allows for land planning research. Council is concerned there may be circumstances within the existing township policy that did permit residences on properties zoned GM and LM. “We’re addressing concerns before development proceeds,” explained Mayor Mary Campbell. The planner has been directed to complete a review of the land use planning policies that allow residential building in the affected zones.

Sports - The Arnprior District High School junior boys basketball team pulled off a major upset as they finished third in the Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association (EOSSAA) championship tournament last week. The Renfrew County champions traveled to Smith Falls on Feb. 19 to compete against the best teams in Eastern Ontario. The Redmen were ranked sixth out of six teams going into the tournament but put together a strong team performance and were able to capture the bronze medal. The highlight of the tournament was their game against the number-two ranked team, La-

salle, who were the Kingston area champions. The underdog Redmen held a four-point lead at half, thanks to strong rebounding by Alex Boileau and Justin Smith, as well as great threepoint shooting by Evan Schriver. Coach Dan Lavallee notes the second half was dominated offensively by Smith, Schriver and Liam Hawel. The three boys combined outscored Lasalle 19-9 in the third quarter. In the end Arnprior came away with a 41-27 upset of the number-two ranked team. Lavallee wished good luck to his players moving up to senior next year: Evan Schriver, Keaton Beale, Cameron Russell, Emmett Ball, Devon Abercrombie, and Alex Boileau.

PACKERS 7 ALMONTE 4

The Packers went into Almonte Saturday night and got their semifinal series off to a good start with the Thunder. The Packers drew first blood when rookie forward Chris Marchand tipped in a Brian Taylor point shot just one minute into the game to get things going. Packers’ leading scorer Damian Armstrong added to the lead when Marchand fed him a perfect pass for the shorthanded breakaway, which he would finish off nicely to put Arnprior up 2-0. Almonte cut into the lead before the period finished, making it a 2-1 score going into the first intermission. Almonte scored three goals in the first 10 minutes of the second frame, as the game would go completely in the Thunder’s favor. Down 4-2 it looked like the Packers would let it all slip away, but the team did not quit as Armstrong scored his second of the game, taking a pass from captain John McLean

on the power-play to make it 4-3. Then it was McLean who scored his first of the playoffs on a broken play in the Almonte end. The puck found his stick and his quick release beat Almonte goalie Richard Barr high to tie things 4-4. McLean got to Barr again halfway through the third period, this time beating the Almonte goalie short side on the rush to give Arnprior the 5-4 lead. Dallas Farr fed Chris Marchand for a breakaway shortly after. Marchand forced Barr to open up and beat him five-hole to make it a 6-4 score. McLean got the hat trick goal on an empty net as the Packers took the game 7-4. PACKERS 1 ALMONTE 3

Game 2 would not be another offensive outing, as both goalies played phenomenally. Erik Miksik of the Packers and Alex Daley of the Thunder stood on their heads all game long. Jake Gaudet got the lone Packers goal just five minutes in, while Almonte scored two on the power-play as Ben Wade found the net twice and Luke Martin added a single. Miksik made 34 saves for the Packers while Daley stopped 39 shots for the Thunder. An unsuccessful protest by Shawville pushed back the first two games of the series. Originally scheduled for Thursday and Friday, the series started Saturday in Almonte and continued with a 5:30 p.m. game Sunday at the Nick Smith Centre. The other Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League Valley Division series was also tied 1-1 after the weekend. Shawville upset the Wolves 5-3 in the opener in Renfrew. But the Pontiacs lost 6-2 at home last Sunday.

Walter Zadow wrestler Jack Barr (top) in action at a Renfrew tournament Feb. 15.

Walter Zadow wrestlers make their mark in Renfrew Arnprior Wrestling club

Sports – Some members of the Walter Zadow Public School wrestling team went to Renfrew for a wrestling tournament Feb. 15. The program at Walter Zadow was only held for six weeks, but the newer wrestlers Jack Barr and Maybel Hinchley both competed very well in their weight classes. Maybel placed third in her group and showed that her new skills and stamina would help her challenge her opponents very well. Jack had a tough weight class, going against others that had already competed at other tournaments through out the year. Despite not winning any of his matches, he came within two points in his matches of winning. His last match was very exciting to both watch and coach, according to his coach Kevin Mayhew. Jack was down 10-2 at the end of the first round but ended up losing 20-18 at the end of the second round and match. If the second round had been the whole match, he would have won 16-10. Lexy Horner, in her second season, placed third and wrestled quite well. She had to go up against some more experienced wrestlers and showed some of the new moves just learned this year. Brian Scheeler placed first in his weight class and showed that his experience and skill in his new age group was superior to the others in his weight class. Brian pinned two of his three opponents, which prepares him well for

his next meet that he will go to with the Arnprior Wrestling club. Overall, a great job done by all the wrestlers and this has given them something to build on next year with the Walter Zadow program. For more information about wrestling in Arnprior, please contact Kevin Mayhew at 613-623-0673.

day. Sam Duff of Pembroke capitalized with another first-place finish. Sean Swayze of Braeside, Tyler Lefebvre of Calabogie and Connor Allen of Manotick stayed tight, finishing in 16th, 18th, and 20th respectively. Owen Barr of Carp cracked the top half with 26th, while Liam Maclean of Manotick continued to improve with a 32nd place. Aiden Keuninckx of Perth was close behind in 35th. Jack Alexander of Carp literally left it all on the hill with incredible speed but two crashes. The girls were either heartbreak or glory. Sophia Tan sped to another podium finish with a fourth place, and Lauren Campbell-Brunke was set join her when she straddled a gate and was disqualified. Alex Kerr of Kemptville displayed her fine form with a 20th place, and Jessica Earle of Ottawa smoothly slid into 30th. But Alyssa Steggall of Stittsville, Alexa Loudiadis of Ottawa and Emma Schreider of Kingston all faced a DNF result with a crash on one of their runs. However, with the girls’ positive attitudes, they are never down for long. Only a few races remain for each age groups, as they prepare for local championships and Provincials,

Sports - Calabogie Peaks was the site for the annual U16 Art Tommy Memorial Race Feb. 8 and 9. The long-standing event is named after the late but great founder of Ottawa’s Tommy & Lefebvre Ski Store, Art Tommy. The race is a Super Combined, where athletes race a Super G in the morning and a Slalom in the afternoon. The times are then combined for an overall score. The racers competed both Saturday and Sunday, and overall winners were announced as well as winners for each day. The U16s were well-prepared for the race, having taken part in Speed Camp at the Peaks Feb. 5-7. Speed camp prepares the racers to ski at the high speeds required in Super G, and they learn how to take jumps, optimize their air and land pace, and maximize their overall swiftness. Thanks to incredible snowmaking and hill maintenance at the Peaks, the athletes were able to train in fantastic conditions. All of that hard work paid off for Calabogie Ski Racing Club’s racers. On the girls’ side, Aylen Ferguson of Carp blasted down the Super G course and applied her technique in the Slalom to finish with a career-best sixth place Saturday. Combined with a solid result on Sunday, Aylen ending up hitting the podium for the first time – fifth place for combined score. Jenna

Wissing of Ottawa also achieved a personal best Saturday, coming in 18th. Grace Gaffney of Deep River came in a respectable 26th in the highly competitive field. The girls can all take pride in the fact that the massive Super G jump on the last pitch did not foil them, as it did for many of their competitors. The boys were also very successful. Alex Duff of Pembroke was behind the field following his Super G run Sunday, but pulled off a spectacular Slalom to hoist himself up to third place. Connor Maclean of Manotick threw it all out there with a 26thplace finish, while Travis Reid of Bath – having just returned from the sunny south – nicely adjusted to winter by finishing 38th. In other action, a contingent of U12 racers journeyed all the way to Quebec City Feb. 1-2 for the annual Defi Alpin Race at Le Relais Ski Hill. Notable results came from Wyatt Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew who placed third overall out of 100+ racers, and Sam Alexander of Carp who placed fourth overall. All of the skiers raced well and enjoyed the novelty of attending such a large event. Feb. 1 found the U14 team tearing up the slalom course at Mont Cascades, Quebec. Hard-packed snow and sunshine made for a perfect race

Monthly Column by

John YAKABUSKI MPP

www.johnyakabuski.com The by-election results in Thornhill and Niagara Falls have sent a very strong message to Kathleen Wynne and her Liberal government that people in Ontario want change. Since being appointed Premier last year Wynne has now lost four seats that they used to hold, and in two of them they’ve actually come in a weak third place. People have voiced their views clearly that they are not happy with her management of Ontario’s affairs. Given that she has never been elected Premier it would seem that the message is clear; it’s time for her to go to the people and seek mandate. Let them decide whether she gets to continue. From our perspective in the PC party, the by-election results can only be viewed as very positive for us and our Leader Tim Hudak. We managed to increase our share of the popular vote in retaining the riding of Thornhill. While we did not capture the seat in Niagara Falls we were a very strong second, in spite of the fact that the NDP marshalled in hundreds of paid union activists to influence the campaign. The Liberals finished a distant third in the riding that they’d held for the last 11 years. Perhaps with their success in Niagara Falls, Andrea Horwath and the NDP may muster the courage to stop propping up this government. Energy has certainly been the topic of discussion over this past month. The mess at Hydro One finally reached the point where Ontario’s Ombudsman, Andre Marin, has stepped in to conduct a full investigation of their billing practices and lack of customer service. While we have been dealing with Hydro One complaints and issues since my election in 2003, many of them successfully, the number of these complaints has escalated dramatically over the last few years. The kind of service that people are receiving is simply not acceptable and needs to be fixed. I have raised this matter more than once with the Minister of Energy and have recently spoken with the CEO of Hydro One (Carmine Marcello). I have made it crystal clear to him that the level of customer service that people are receiving has in many cases reached the abysmal stage. It should have never reached the point where the Ombudsman felt the need to intervene. The staff in my office spends an inordinate amount of time fielding complaints from Hydro One customers. This organization has got to change. With the huge salaries paid to executives at Hydro One, customers should be able to expect excellent customer service. Not the level that they’ve been receiving. The price and supply of propane has also become an issue of grave concern this winter. I brought the matter to the attention to the office of the Minister of Energy several weeks ago. The concerns raised by myself and several of my caucus colleagues resulted in a conference call with myself, my Eastern Ontario colleagues and senior representatives of the Ministry of Energy and Consumer Services, as well as a senior representative of the Canadian Propane Association. To my dismay, I found that governments at both the provincial and federal level have very little direct oversight of the propane industry. For a commodity that is used as the primary heat source for so many people, and this number is growing, this situation will have to be looked at very carefully. Price increases of the level we’ve had this winter place an unacceptable burden on those that require this fuel. I will continue to monitor and press the government at the provincial level to take the necessary steps to protect consumers and constituents. This winter’s certainly going down as a memorable one. When I wrote my last column I briefly touched on the break in the cold. By the time it reached the newspapers we were back in the deep freeze. With the winter we’ve had it is also significantly impacted the cost of heating ones’ home. Coupled with increasing prices, the effect has been even more severe for many people. The good news is that spring is just around the corner. I think. R0102067653

Warm welcome delights new Presbyterian minister John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

Lifestyle – Rev. David Hooper has an affinity for welcoming congregations no matter what their denomination. So it’s no surprise he is happy to be the new minister at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Arnprior. He and his wife Debra have found themselves feeling immediately at home in the congregation and the area. “I’m so excited to be here,â€? he told the Chronicle-Guide. “They’re great people, so welcoming. I love it here ‌ I had been looking for a place like this.â€? Rev. Hooper was inducted as the church’s new minister early this year, replacing Rev. Milton Fraser, who left last year to take a position with the Alzheimer Society of Renfrew. Hooper was born in Toronto but has plenty of experience ministering in small-town Ontario. His father, who came from a farming family, was originally from Killaloe. “So this is like a home-coming for me,â€? he said. As a minister, he has had an eclectic history, serving and attending several different churches around the province, including United, Baptist, Congregational Christian, Anglican and now Presbyterian. In his sermons, he relates the scriptures to everyday life. “I would hope when you leave (the service) you would be thinking about how to apply that teaching,â€? he said. “I tend to be very informal ‌ here’s the word of God and here’s how you

can put it into practice this week ‌ I try to make it real.â€? To help with that, he mixes with the congregation when preaching, instead of always speaking from the pulpit. “I try to engage people,â€? explained Hooper, who makes good use of experience gained by teaching for 10 years. Music plays a major role in his services, he said, noting that organist Helen Black “sets the tone for the worship service.â€? A fan of almost all types of music from classical to rock and roll, the former music teacher likes to mix older hymns with more contemporary songs in his services. And what should endear him to Upper Ottawa Valley residents, “I love fiddle music ‌ and I’m starting to like country,â€? he chuckled. “We’re being assimilated.â€? MUSIC IMPORTANT

His love of music (he played the violin, saxophone, piano and organ as a teenager) drew him to the church. The First Baptist Church in Toronto needed an organist and choir director and although his parents were active in the United Church, where he sang in the choir, he served in the post for two years. He then left to attend York University, where he received an honours Bachelor of Arts in psychology. He followed that up by earning his Masters of Divinity at the University of Toronto’s Emmanuel College. Hooper first pastoral post was a six-year stint starting in 1978 at Trinity United Church in Chapleau in

the wilds of northern Ontario. Moving from Toronto to a community of 3,500 was a “cultural shock,â€? but “I loved it,â€? he said. “You have to adjust quickly ‌ it’s what you make it.â€? After serving as the minister in churches in the Muskokas and North Bay, he was one of a number of clergy who left the United Church in the late 1980s in a split mainly over social issues. Some of the church’s theology had changed, he explained. “I didn’t feel comfortable there any more.â€? Hooper went north to New Liskeard in 1989 to take on the challenge of launching a new church. The Congregational Christian Church began with a congregation of a dozen people meeting in a parishioner’s living room. Five years later, it has grown to 75 people. “It just grew and grew,â€? he said. “It was a great experience.â€? After eight years, Hooper felt he needed a break, so returned to school, receiving his Bachelor of Education at Nipissing University in North Bay. While there, he attended an Anglican church, where his friend was minister. After graduating, he taught instrumental music and general education to Grade 7, Grade 1 and Kindergarten students for about 10 years in Bobcaygen and Lindsay. He said he especially enjoyed the “joie de vivreâ€? at Lindsay’s Leslie Frost elementary with its French immersion component featuring a “wonderful mixâ€? of French and English culture.

Legion has Knights worried Community – The fourth leg of the Arnprior Knights of Columbus-Legion euchre challenge is over and it wasn’t pretty. The Legion team of Eleanor Graham and Howie Leckie had a perfect night with a 9-0 record. With that kind of leadership, fellow Legionnaires rallied to win the night by nine games, leaving in their wake a few Knight ‘skunks’: Kathleen Girdwood\Laurie Coggan, Michelle Leavoy\Mike Gauthier, Marilyn Robertson\Doris Campbell, Carol Marcellus\John Hanniman, and Judy and Ambrose Holmes.

Legion backs up Scouting sponsorship with another $500 donation Community - The Arnprior Legion has donated $500 to 2nd Arnprior Scouting to help them with their programs. Arnprior Legion Branch 174 first vice-president Eleanor Closs Murray made the presentation to 2nd Arnprior Scouting group commissioner Roderic Boileau (see photo at left). The Legion is Arnprior Scouting’s charter sponsor and the Scouters really appreciate the help and guidance they receive from the Legion membership. The money will be used to help fund Scouting’s quality programming and equipment needs. Arnprior scouting has several camps coming up, including a March winter camp at Camp OPEMIKON in Perth. Mid-year registration pricing is in effect for new scouting members and scout leaders encourage youth to try a night with the Scouts, Cubs or Beavers for free.

Thank you Adelle Leavoy (Legionnaire) for taking care of business against your daughter, Michelle. After this recent loss, Knights teams were rumoured to be having a secret meeting to discuss a ‘Hail Mary’ play that would ensure they win this year’s competition. Next games are on March 14 at the Legion. Registration is at 6:30 p.m.

ed about a year ago seriously looking for a call to the ministry. In April, the ministry in Arnprior came open and he applied. After answering three questions by DVD, he was finally called for an interview Sept. 20. He led a trial service in Arnprior Nov. 3 and the Presbytery of Lanark and Renfrew officially accepted him in a vote Nov. 19. The Hoopers moved to Glasgow Station Dec. 23 and he led his first official service as minister Jan. 5. He says he is “humbled and thrilled” to be accepted to serve at St. Andrew’s. He invites people to drop by and see how wel-

coming and generous the St. Andrew’s congregation is. “They are very open … no cliques here,” he said, noting they welcome several L’Arche clients each week, help the needy through the Helping Hands volunteers and are a major supporter of the Neighbourlink Fountain centre. His main goals are to spread the Gospel and get to know his parishioners better. To that end he and Debra are anticipating to a visit to each one of them in their homes. “We enjoy meeting people,” he said. “Especially when people here are so friendly.”

When moving to the area, he “shopped around” for a church and found the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian congregation “very welcoming, very alive.” There was “a lot of love amongst the people there,” he explained. The congregation was very inclusive and soon Hooper was leading Bible school classes. And that wasn’t all. When he retired from teaching, he was encouraged by the church’s elders to consider returning to the ministry. After taking the required courses at Knox College and holding interim posts, he start-

Sunday. And modesty was another thing she preached about. It took my sister Audrey to explain to me that the modesty Mother was preaching about had nothing to do with running around the house in our flourbag underwear, or taking our Saturday night bath in front of everyone in the kitchen, but had everything to do with bragging about ourselves. And certainly envy could lead us straight to Hell in a basket! And then came the day when I learned about still another lesson on life. It had to do with a young girl who went to the Northcote School. Rather, she went to the Northcote school when she could. It wasn’t unusual for her to miss several days in a row, and we all knew it had nothing to do with catching the measles or the whooping cough. It had everything to do with if she was needed at home. Even though she was only a few years older than I was, she was the oldest girl of a large family. And the chore of helping her mother often fell on her shoulders. We were poor like

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

most other families around us ... deep in the Depression, but my sister Audrey said her family was even poorer than we were. Her father worked in the bush miles from their farm, and was often away for weeks at a time. That left her mother to tend the farm, leaving little time to look after the younger children. And so my little classmate, more often than not, had to stay at home to lend a hand. There was always a sadness about this young girl. You could see it in her face. She had long dark hair, and often she would tell me how she wished she had coloured ribbons like I had to tie it off her face. And I knew, without a doubt, there simply wasn’t enough extra money for hair ribbons to replace the elastic she used to tie her hair up in a knot on the top

News – Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier is expressing concerns with recent changes in Ontario to the testing regimen for drivers who turn 80. Ontario regulations require seniors do undergo a significant amount of testing - regardless of their driving record or history - every second year beginning on the year of their 80th birthday. The Progresssive Conservative MPP said that while most jurisdictions require regular testing or a medical review when a driver, regardless of their age, demonstrates or presents to a physician with symptoms that pose a risk, Ontario also demands regular testing of its drivers simply because of their age.

“The Ministry of Transportation has decided to drop the written exam, however they put in its place two cognitive tests that are remarkably similar to the SIMARD test they promised the public they wouldn’t implement because of its unreliability,” said Hillier in a news release last week. “I have concerns that we’ve removed the practical written test and replaced it with an abstract test that may not be indicative of a person’s ability to drive. “Road safety in Ontario is important, but before we strip someone of their independence, we must be sure the process we use is just,” added Hiller. “There is no public transit for

But Mother went on in great detail, telling me good deeds were no longer good deeds if you bragged about them. I still wasn’t convinced, but, as always, Mother’s word was the law. And so I kept to myself my giving the ribbons to my young classmate at the Northcote School. When she next came to school, several days later, so I knew she was needed at home, her long black hair was tied high on her head, and there was one of the long ribbons from the brown paper bag I had given her. She gave me the biggest smile, and neither of us said a word. No one knew but the two of us how she came to have brightly coloured ribbons tying up her long dark hair. A warm feeling came over me, and I knew then what Mother meant when she said a good deed is erased if you brag about it. Another lesson learned, and this one that has stayed with me since that day Mother sat me down in the kitchen so many years ago.

of her head. My hair ribbons were bought at Walker’s Store in Renfrew only if Mother had a few extra pennies from selling her wares door to door. But at least I had hair ribbons! And so I decided I would take two or three of my best ribbons, put them in a little paper bag, and hand them to the young girl at school. It was on one of the rare days she was at school, and I told her not to open the bag until she got home. “No peeking,” I said. When I got home, I told Mother what I had done, and said I felt so good about it I was going to phone my best friend Velma and tell her about my good deed. Well, Mother told me to sit down, and I knew without a doubt, another lesson on life was coming. She had that look about her. And Mother said that when you did a good deed, if you told anyone about it, it erased the deed. I had a hard time grasping what she meant, since I knew I had done the deed, so how could it be erased?

our rural seniors, and robbing them of their independence on an unsubstantiated, untested process would be contrary to the principles of a fair and just society.” He pointed out that the medical review that can follow as a result of not scoring well on the abstract tests is expensive and stressful, “yet we have no evidence that the test that triggers the medical review is an accurate assessment of one’s ability to drive.” He suggested the changes could be more of the Premier’s ‘revenue tools’, “and I have very serious concerns on where we’re going with this.” Hillier has posted a petition on his website challenging the new testing regime.

And I had to admit most of them rolled off me like rain off a duck’s back. But she persevered, oh, how she persevered! We learned early about honesty. According to Mother, honesty was right up there with going to church every

Senior drivers a concern News - Research conducted by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) indicates shows nearly half (47 per cent) of Canadians are concerned about the safety of an aging family member while behind the wheel. As a result, the CAA is launching a multimedia web tool designed to help seniors stay safe while in the driver’s seat. CAA’s new online portal helps seniors and their loved ones assess driving skills, learn about changing abilities, and if needed, modify driving habits. The site, located at www.seniorsdriving.caa. ca, incorporates information from the Canadian Medical Association’s Driver’s Guide and advice from the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists.

McNab and District Celtic Heritage society to celebrate St. David’s Day Lifestyle – Buoyed by the success of its inaugural St. Andrew’s banquet, the McNab and District Celtic Heritage Society is promoting awareness of St. David’s Day this Saturday March 1. So you ask, who is St. David? He is the patron saint of Wales. Unlike Scotland’s patron saint St. Andrew who lived at the time of Christ, St. David is relatively young as he died March 1, 589AD. But like St. Andrew, there are many stories and myths about him. One of the stories is associated with corpse candles, lights that would warn of the imminent death of a member of the community. The story goes that David prayed for his people to have some warning of their death, so that they could prepare themselves to be ready for it. In a vision, David’s wish was granted and he was told that from then on people who lived in the land of Dewi Sant (Saint David) “would be forewarned by the dim light of mysterious tapers when and where the death might be expected.� The color and/or size of the tapers indicated whether the person to die would be a woman, man, or child. I’m not too sure how I feel about that idea, although you could certainly get yourself prepared like for the accuracy of wills and the like.

His last words to his followers were in a sermon on the previous Sunday. The Welsh Life of St. David gives these as: “Bydwch lawen a chedwch ychffyd a’ch cret, a gwnewch y petheu bychein a glywyssawch ac a welsawch gennyf i. A mynheu a gerdaf y fford yd aeth an todeu idi,� which translates as: “Be joyful, and keep your faith and your creed, and do the

LEEK, DAFFODIL

His symbol, which also became the symbol of Wales, is the leek and the daffodil. Why the two you ask? The word for leek in Welsh is Cenhinen and the word for daffodil is Cenhinen Pedr, which presented a lot of confusion until the country adopted the daffodil as its second symbol. David was buried at St. David’s Cathedral at St David’s, Pembrokeshire, where his shrine was a popular place of pilgrimage throughout the Middle Ages. During the 10th and 11th centuries the Cathedral was regularly raided by Vikings, who removed the shrine from the church and stripped it of the precious metal adornments. In 1275 a new shrine was constructed, the ruined base of which remains to this day. It was originally surmounted by an ornamental wooden canopy with murals of Welsh patron saint St. David, Ireland’s patron saint St. Patrick, and St. Denis, first bishop of Paris and patron saint of France. The relics of St. David and St. Justinian were kept in a portable casket on the stone base of the shrine.

Unlike many contemporary ‘saints’ of Wales, David was officially recognized at the Vatican by Pope Callixtus II in 1120, thanks to the work of Bernard, Bishop of St David’s. Many people have a lot of knowledge of Ireland and Scotland thanks to the many events and celebrations around their patron saints. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the Celtic lands of Wales and the other three Celtic nations. For instance the wonderful stories of the great King Arthur, often thought to be an old English myth, is actually based on the son of Uther Pendragon and lgraine Cornwall. It is said that he battled the Saxons to save his land from them. The book of Mabinogion is a book of medieval tales of Welsh origin, telling stories set in and around the area corresponding to the west coast of Wales. Although the characters of these tales are long gone, the ancient sites associated with them are still there. The area of the Black mountains has its own Lady of the Lakes legend. And from the village of Beddgelert comes a story of a faithful dog Gelert that is reminiscent of the Disney dog Tramp in the Lady and the Tramp where the dog saved the life of a baby. As the McNab and District Celtic Heritage Society grows from its infancy, being only five months old, we hope to help people in our great area learn more about Wales and all other areas’ historically represented peoples here.

Lifestyle – Valley Heritage Radio is helping the McNab and District Celtic Heritage Society get the area in the spirit of St. David’s Day by incorporating Welsh lore into its programming this week. To help promote the fact that this Saturday, March 1 is St. David’s Day, Heritage Radio 98.7 will be filling in its listeners about Welsh heritage during their easy listening and Celtic programming. The co-op radio station has its very own Welsh r e p r e s e n t a t ive , Dai Basset, to share his expertise on the matter. As part of the promotion, there will be a draw for a gift certificate for dinner at Rocky Mountain House given away during his programs this week.

Heritage radio promotes St. David’s Day

St. David was educated at Cardiganshire and went on many pilgrimages, founding religious centres across Wales and England and as far as Jerusalem. Eventually he settled at Glyn Rhosyn in southwest Wales where he established a religious community. St David’s Cathedral stands on the site of the monastery he founded in the Glyn Rhosyn valley of Pembrokeshire. The Monastic Rule of David prescribed that monks had to pull the plough themselves without draught animals, must drink only water and eat only bread with salt and herbs, and spend the evenings in prayer, reading and writing. No personal possessions were allowed: even to say “my book� was considered an offence. He lived a simple life and practiced self-denial and taught his followers to refrain from eating meat and drinking beer. Sounds like a very restrictive life. One has to wonder if we could live like that in the present after being used to all the conveniences of modern life.

Pakenham students help fight plastic bag problem Theresa Peluso

Community - On your next outing in Mississippi Mills, check out the artwork on display in libraries, arenas, shops, and other public spaces. You will not only be impressed by the artistic and design talents of the children who created these winning posters in the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ Refuse-to-Use Plastic Bag Poster Contest, you’ll also be motivated to find alternatives to those environmentally destructive plastic shopping bags. The contest was held to engage students in showing the harm caused by plastic bags, and suggesting alternatives. Although plastic bags seem harmless, their pervasiveness and longevity make them a serious environmental hazard. Plastic bags end up everywhere, choking and trapping millions of animals on land and in the seas, and blocking drains and sewers during the many hundreds of years they take to break down. Thanks to the enthusiasm of local elementary school

teachers and students, nearly 80 posters were received. MVFN thanks judges Elizabeth Veninga, Catherine Blake and Chandler Swain, all well-known local artists, who were dazzled by the talent of the students and the multitude of ways they conveyed their ideas. After much deliberation, they selected the following winners: • in the Grade 1-3 category - Denby Fergusson, Naismith Memorial Public School (1st), Tatum Ferguson, Naismith (2nd), Myles Thompson, Naismith (3rd), Dylan Chartrand, Naismith (4th), Jason Alexander, Naismith (5th), Anthony McCamon, Pakenham Public School (honourable mention), Everett St. Croix, Naismith (honourable mention); • in the Grades 4-6 category - Fiona Mehmet, Naismith Memorial Public School (1st), Sky JS, Pakenham Public School (2nd), Libby Hirst, Pakenham (3rd), Ben Hoban, Naismith (4th), Kyrah Nicholas, Pakenham (5th), Nick Love, Pakenham (honourable mention), Brianna Moore, Naismith (honourable mention).

An award ceremony was held at the Almonte Public Library for winners of MVFN’s Refuse-to-Use Plastic Bags Poster Contest. From left, winners are Denby Fergusson, Myles Thompson, Pakenham’s Libby Hirst, Tatum Ferguson, Fiona Mehmet, and Pakenham’s Sky JS. ‘Don’t Litter, Pretend You Were the Critter!’ is the message from Libby Hirst of Pakenham Public School, shown with her poster, one of the winning designs in the Mississippi Valley Fields Naturalists’ poster contest.

Schuck speech tops Toastmasters contest Lifestyle - The International Speech Contest and the Table Topics Contests were held at the Arnprior Library Feb. 5. This was a combined contest with contestants from Arnprior Toastmasters, Valley Vintage Advanced Toastmasters and Renfrew Toastmasters. The audience was treated to some excellent speeches, all of which could have moved on to the next level, but the winner was Fred Schuck of Arnprior. A Toastmaster for more than 10 years he spoke about his mother and the influence she had on his life. Tracy Franken, also a resident of the Arnprior area, talked about the difficulties she encounters as she tries to put on all her hats at the same time - wife, mother, dog whisperer. Maria Thompson shared her story about being like the golden Budha that was covered in plaster to disguise its true worth and how she now has broken the plaster of abuse that had surrounded her life to let the gold shine through. Jim Butterworth, a Renfrew-Cobden area resident, talked about the difficulties of learning a new language. The Table Topics contestants Lenore Whelan, Brad

FRAN WATSON/SUBMITTED

Dota, Ann Doyle and Susan Watt were challenged with the questions – “What would you do for your 15 minutes of fame” and “If you could change your name, what name would you choose?” The winners were Whelan for Valley Vintage Advanced and Doyle for Arnprior Toastmasters. Doyle is one of the Arnprior club’s newest members.The area contest will be held in the Arnprior Library on Saturday, March 1 at 1 p.m. and everyone is invited to come out and hear the speeches from the Valley clubs. Light refreshments will

be provided. Arnprior Toastmasters meet weekly at the Arnprior Hospital in the meeting room on the second floor from 7 to 9 p.m. Visitors and new members are welcome. Feel free to drop into a meeting to find out more about how you can develop your leadership and communication skills and maybe you too can ‘rock’ for the fall humourous speech contest (or simply attend as one of the audience). More information on the Toastmasters program can be found at www.toastmasters. org.

NUTRITION

Ian Harris RNT

Opinion – Vitamin D sufficiency, along with diet and exercise, has emerged as one of the most important preventive factors in human health. Some of the symptoms of low vitamin D include fatigue, poor concentration, moodiness and headaches. As well, numerous studies now link vitamin D deficiency with significantly higher rates of many forms of cancer‚ as well as heart disease‚ osteoporosis‚ multiple sclerosis and many other conditions and diseases. Sunlight is the best and only natural source of vitamin D and, unfortunately, we are spending less time outdoors in the sun today than at any point in history, which is why a majority of individuals are deficient in vitamin D. Humans make 90 per cent of our vitamin D naturally from sunlight exposure to our skin, specifically from ultraviolet B exposure to the skin. Few foods naturally contain or are fortified with supplemental vitamin D. For example, an eight-ounce glass of whole milk fortified with 100 IU (international units) of vitamin D represents just a small percentage of what nutritionists now say we need daily. In contrast, sun exposure to the skin makes thousands of units of vitamin D naturally in a relatively short period of time. While vitamin D supplements are an alternative means of producing vitamin D when regular, non-burning sun exposure is not possible, oral supplementation of vitamin D is not nature’s intended means of producing this

vitamin. The foods that contain some levels of vitamin D are shiitake and button mushrooms, mackerel, sockeye, salmon, herring, sardines catfish, tuna, cod liver (yuk!) and eggs. So how do we determine if we are in fact deficient and how much of the vitamin should we take? Before anything can be done, ask your family physician to request a 25-hydroxy-vitamin D blood test. This is the only way to determine if you are deficient and at what level. Please be aware that OHIP does not cover the cost of the blood test and depending on the lab that draws the blood the cost could range from $25-$50. Never take vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowance unless under the advice and guidance of a trained professional. Remember, being outside not only offers the benefits of the sunshine vitamin. Being outdoors and active is fun for the family, strengthens the heart, the mind and the body, and helps maintain a healthy weight.

New rules will shine spotlight on calories Lifestyle – The provincial government introduced legislation Monday to make it easier for people to make informed and healthy food choices when eating out or buying groceries. The Making Healthier Choices Act, if passed, would make Ontario the first province to require food service premises to post calories on menus. The proposed legislation was developed following consultations with the food industry, health sector and parents.

Specific measures in the legislation include: • Requiring calories for food and beverages, including alcohol, to be posted on menus and menu boards in restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores and other food service premises with 20 or more locations in Ontario. • Requiring food service operators to post a contextual statement that would help to educate patrons about their daily caloric requirements. • Authorizing public health inspectors to enforce menu la-

belling requirements. Up to 60 per cent of large chain restaurants with more than 20 locations in Ontario already provide nutritional information voluntarily to their customers (upon demand, on websites or in store). Ontario is also protecting children from the harmful effects of second hand smoke by proposing to increase penalties for selling tobacco to kids, banning flavoured tobacco and banning smoking on playgrounds, sports fields and bar and restaurant patios.

Curves’ fitness machines to fall silent this Friday John Carter

News – There have been plenty of sad faces around Arnprior Curves in the past two weeks. None sadder than Linda Davies’. The owner of the Arnprior fitness studio for women has decided to close the business a month before it was to enter its 13th year. The last day will be this Friday, Feb. 28. It was a difficult decision for Davies, who feels strongly she has been providing a valuable service to the community. “It’s like a death in the family,” she said. “If I won a million dollars in the lottery, I’d keep it open. It’s so important to help women keep fit.” However, finances dictated that it was time to close. At its peak, Arnprior Curves had 400 members, but lately that had dropped to about 120. And that isn’t enough to pay the bills and franchise fees. Davies noted that January is usually a good month for generating new members, thanks to New Year’s resolutions. But this year, her membership actually fell in January. It’s not an isolated problem. Curves outlets in Pembroke, Almonte, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Perth, Westboro and Orleans have closed in the last few years. “They have been closing left and right,” she said, pointing to the economic doldrums and people’s busy lives as contributing to the drop in memberships. The branching out of Curves into diet programs and celebrity workouts hasn’t helped, she added. “We had our niche … we should have concentrated on that.” Davies feels badly for her employees, the various charities Curves has supported over the years and most of all her loyal clients. “I’m really grateful for their support.” “It’s so sad there’s not been more support in town,” said Micheline Aubin, who has been coming to Curves for seven years. “It’s so convenient … you can come in at any time and get in shape. “It’s such a nice facility, clean and always so

tidy. And the service is great … she (Davies) is so helpful.” Davies is appreciative of her landlord, Sullivan and Son, who went out of their way to accommodate her when she moved Curves from Winners Circle to Madawaska Boulevard after the first five years. “It’s been a good run,” Davies says. Many women have enjoyed the benefits of exercise and the camaraderie found at Curves and Davies is worried that there isn’t another local place they’ll want to go. Curves catered to women of all ages and all sizes at convenient times and provided them a full body workout, she said. “I hope they find something,” she said. “It’s so important to keep active.” Davies said it is unfortunate that the federal government doesn’t extend tax incentives designed to encourage youth to sign up for sports programs to cover fitness memberships as well. Some businesses give incentives to employees, but not many have taken them up on it, she noted. Arnprior Curves has contributed to many local charities, most prominently to the Heart and Stroke Foundation as the host of several Big Bike for Heart rides in town. At one point, Curves was entering three teams and raising $16,000 for the cause. “We had great team spirit,” she noted. It was a natural fit, she explained. “Heart disease is still the number one killer of women.” Curves received a heart-wise designation from the Ottawa Heart Institute, which recommended heart attack victims to the studio for rehabilitation. Davies had recently acquired a defibrillator for the premises. Curves has also been a strong supporter of the Arnprior and District Food Bank, holding food drives each March and at Christmas time. Davies noted that Curves, in keeping with its focus on the value of exercise, has also been a regular contributor to local Special Olympics athletes. See CURVES Page 45

Linda Davies and the Curves gang had a great time riding in the Big Bike for Heart , raising money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada for several years.

The outlet was also supported the hospital’s Partners in Caring campaign, Mardi Bras, the Arnprior and Area Breast Cancer Support group, and the Arnprior Optimist Club, as well as providing an annual bursary for Arnprior District High School students in the fitness field. A group of Curves members will get together for a ladies night one last time at East Side Marios on March 9 to reminisce and say their good byes While Arnprior is her last Curves franchise (her Arnprior Curves was one of the first in the Ottawa Valley and at one time she also owned outlets in Renfrew and Petawawa), Davies is hoping to continue in the fitness industry in some way.

The McLaren’s Landing resident has been promoting fitness since teaching aerobics when she worked for Canada Post. She has also volunteered with seniors groups, helping their members keep mobile. “I’ve learned a lot by owning my own business,” she said. As well, Curves ensured she was kept up-todate in fitness trends and such related areas as nutrition, kinesiology and behavioural science. As someone who practiced what she preached by taking the Curves fitness routine herself four days a week, she said she knows firsthand about its benefits. “I realized this is what women need,” she said. “It was gratifying helping people.”

County appoints first acting warden as honour for retiring mayor Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

News - In appointing its first acting warden, Renfrew County council has paid homage to a rare municipal official – one who has served more than 50 years as a municipal politician. County Warden Peter Emon made the appointment, which was ratified by county council Jan. 29, at which point the accolades from county councillors began for Laurentian Valley Mayor Jack Wilson. The 78-year-old, who is not seeking re-election in October 2014, and wife Evelyn have five children, Janice

Forgie, Bev Smith, Nancy McAvoy, Sharon Neff and Kevin Wilson. “I’m honoured and pleased to have been named acting warden,� said Wilson, a veteran farmer who sold his farm in 2012. The position was created to ensure the warden’s office is represented at events in the absence of the warden. Wilson entered municipal politics when he was elected councillor for Pembroke Township late in 1963, before officially starting his term in January 1964. That municipality was amalgamated with Stafford in the late 1990s, then amalgamated again in 2000, with Alice and Fraser, to form Laurentian Valley Township. “Jack, you’re going to do a great job as acting warden,� said Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards Mayor Janice Visneskie Moore. Turning to Warden Emon, she added, “I’m so glad you chose Mayor Wilson. I think he’s going to do a grand job.� “I can’t imagine (spending) 50 years in public service,� added Bob Sweet, a former war-

Whitewater Region Reeve Don Rathwell suggested the photographic wall of wardens, located just outside the council chambers, should include some form of recognition of Wilson’s 50 years of service. Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack and Horton Mayor Don Eady applauded Wilson for making them feel at home when they first joined county council. To a chuckle or two, Deep River Mayor David Thompson said the comments felt a little bit like a eulogy, even though Wilson was alive and well. “I was in diapers when you were first elected,� he told Wilson. “If there is one word to define Jack Wilson, it would be the word gentleman,� Thompson added. “You are a gentlemen in every sense of Laurentian Valley Mayor Jack Wilthe word.
