Arnprior’s nursing home is under threat of closure if it doesn’t expand. These postcards are being filled out by concerned citizens as part of a campain to save The Grove.

Grove campaign milestone nears DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The local nursing home’s campaign for expansion funds is garnering lots of support - and some confusion.

Arnprior Regional Health, which oversees the Grove Nursing Home, is pleased with its postcard campaign that sees residents sign a ‘Help The Grove Grow’ card.

“The postcard campaign is well on its way and I distributed many more cards within the community,”organizer Katrin Spencer said. “We did two more prints of 1,000 cards each.”

They are also falling under a tight deadline.

“We are trying to get these post cards back as quickly as possible this week, so we can get a bulk of cards to our local MPP for presentation on the floor of the Ontario Legislature in the very near future.”

Trouble is, people are dropping them in the mail instead of at designated locations like the public library, Nick Smith Centre, and the Opportunity Shop.

“The cards need to be returned to the drop off points in the community ASAP,” Spencer said. “If community members would like signed cards to be picked up or if they want to receive more blank cards,” she can be reached at 613-623-7952 ext. 530 or call KaSpencer@arnpriorhealth.ca.

Tatto artist to speak at museum Tatto artist Crystal Balser will deliver the keynote address at the museum board’s annual public meeting.

Held March 11 at 1 p.m., Balser’s talk is titled Tattoos: Deeper Than Just Skin. Her speech explores all aspects of the phenomenon and complements the Anrprior and District Museum’s My Story, My Tattoo exhibit, on site until April 25.

Admission is by donation.

Town taxes goin up by 2.25% DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Town council told staff it wants a greater tax increase to eventually deal with crumbling roads in Arnprior.

During a Feb. 22 special budget deliberations meeting in council chambers, staff recommended a 1.75 per cent increase to the tax bill. When the garbage and water fees are added, along with the county and education portions, the increase would fall well under the rate of inflation, argued chief administrative officer Michael Wildman.

He said the additional revenue would cost the average home (worth $220,000) less than $15 this year. The money, about $142,000, would top up the

roughly $17 million budget, used for a variety of expenditures, including: salaries, debt repayment, capital projects like a portion of the downtown revitalization, life cycle renewal of assets such as water mains, and reserves.

Among those reserves is one for winter maintenance. Snowfall in 2016 drained winter maintenance’s budget and took from its reserves. On calls for removal alone, last year’s 317 dwarfed the previous year’s 177. The town went 33 per cent over budget.

Since January the new budget and depleted reserves have only gotten worse. Added to that is the many more kilometres in sidewalks to be done, including new and uniquely shaped sidewalks in the downtown core.

“It’s still early, but we could be 22 per cent overage in the bud-

get,” Wildman said.

The perfect storm of heavy snow, low reserves and additional sidewalks had council concerned that 1.75 per cent wouldn’t be enough.

Worse, however, was the rolling rehabilitation budget staff presented. Besides roads within the downtown revitalization project, there is little money for repairs and replacement. Yet council hears it from residents living on Alicia Street and about a dozen more.

“If you want to lose a care, (Alicia’s) the place to be,” Council Dan Lynch said.

Mayor David Reid said the rolling rehabilitation budget is “significantly underfunded” over the next five years. Trouble is, that street isn’t up for work this year. A design hasn’t even been

paid for. At $2 million, it will be years before Alicia Street is in decent shape again. The same is true to a lesser extent elsewhere.

That’s when council started pressing staff on three areas. Staff should move money around, one example being don’t repave the upper parking lot at Robert Simpson Park just yet.

Staff should find more efficiencies, one exampling being to ask public works crews how they be more effective when it comes to snow removal.

Finally, staff should also up its proposed tax hike to 2.25 per cent.

“I don’t think residents will fault us for the increase if they know it is going into roads,” Reid said. “We continue to be as respectful of their money as possible. But these next three to four years will be tough without it. And we get all our marching orders from the public.”

There was pushback from

Smiths Falls teacher offers advice on Redmen name change DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The recent announcement that Arnprior District High School (ADHS) will do away with its Redmen nickname has sown deep divisions among alumni and students alike.

There was talk of a rally forming to keep the name at a recent school basketball game. It never came about. Online is a different matter, though. Hundreds of posts to various Facebook pages on the topic range from heartfelt and passionate to bitter and rude. The majority are against the name change.

A Smiths Falls high school went through a similar experience about a decade ago. Social media didn’t play as large a role, but other factors may prove instructional to stakeholders in Arnprior.

Bill Wheeler was at the heart

Smiths Falls’ logo and name, considered a variation on Redmen.

of the dispute back in 2005. He remains a teacher in the athletics department at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. They, too, were called Redmen. But with the move to a newly built school, the school board saw an opportunity to move away from a name many indigenous and non-indigenous people say is racist. They are now called the RedHawks.

“A lot of the alumni were a little bit surprised, me included,”

Wheeler said. “I’d say the most important thing is to keep everybody in the loop and part of the process.”

ADHS principal Tom Havey announced the change at a school assembly, called media organizations, and sent messages home to parents. The school will also vote on a new name later this school year.

Wheeler said he was busy with all the chores of moving to a new location, along with pricing new uniforms. So he didn’t pay much attention to the protests.

“I was pretty neutral about it.

In the end, it’s a name,” he said.

“I was so busy I didn’t have time for anything else.”

There was an element of inevitably, he indicated, saying many decisions these days are made at the board level, including name changes. But when a course of action is taken, he suggests make the most of it.

“There is going to be people with negative feelings about some decisions. You’ve got to take the lots of positives that come with it,” Wheeler said. “I hope the (ADHS) alumni don’t see it as a slap in the face. Things change, and we have to focus on the high school and what is best for the students. That’s what matters most.”

He said current RedHawks students are unaffected by the controversy, and even students at the time got over it quickly.

He laughed, saying one problem was solved immediately.

“We used to play Arnprior when both were named Redmen.

It’s a lot easier now,” Wheeler said.

A Calgary high school changed its name from Redmen to Redhawks in 2014. A Charlottetown, P.E.I. school changed from Redmen to Raiders in the early 1990s.

some, notably councillors Lynch and Frank Dugal and, to a lesser extent, Reeve Walter Stack. They noted skyrocketing hydro costs tapping into taxpayers. Reid said the town’s costs are rising too, and that it isn’t their obligation to solve hydro problems. They said a 0.5 per cent increase is not just for current year, but will stay in place going forward. Reid said a 0.5 per cent decrease would carry forward, too.

There are a couple of bright spots, but they are quickly dimmed. Surplus lands worth about $1 million will likely be sold this year. And staff are preparing for significant expenses in a couple of areas — replacing the $600,000 slab on arena B, for instance — that are likely unnecessary. (Reid believes the slab can be repaired.)

Again, though, the dimming is that anticipated federal grants worth about $1.4 million fell through. The town says being fiscally responsible means those running huge debts get relief from higher governments.

The 0.5 per cent increase, which bumps up the average homeowner’s tax rate by almost $24, wouldn’t have happened had those grants come through, Reid said.

The town still anticipates the final tax bill to come in under the historical 2.1 per cent rate of inflation. Its increase of 2.25 per cent goes with a marginal increase to water and no change to garbage fees. The county’s is up 3 per cent. Education — with a declining enrolment across both boards — should remain the same.

The budget was unanimously approved at the Feb. 27 meeting.

Waterfront revitalization

Suzanne Valiquet and Dennis Jacobs are with Momentum, Arnprior’s consultants on the waterfront project. They hosted an information session at the public library Feb. 18, the second of a three-part process. The first was a brainstorming session with the public on where to invest in infrastructure at the marina, Robert Simpson Park, and Bell Park (east of the Madawaska River mouth). The second includes a survey of a prioritized list, open to all until March 13 at the town’s website. The third will see council voting on how to proceed with the revitalization, expected this year.

Arnprior rinks’ usage grows DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The talk of dropping down to one arena in Arnprior is itself on ice following a report recently submitted to town council.

Mayor David Reid last year floated the idea of converting Arena B at Nick Smith Centre to a tennis court, indoor soccer pitch or other recreation related uses. There is declining numbers when it comes to hockey and other on-ice sports, coupled with an aging population. With necessary repairs on the horizon, he wanted a usage study on both arenas before spending the money. The staff-produced report found that with the McNab-Braeside service agreement back in place, usage — in both arenas, equally — is picking up again. Of the percentage of available hours on the A side, 57 per cent was used last year, down from the previous two years but up from 2013. On the B side, it was 65 per cent, down from the previous year, but up from 2014 and 2013.

Ice rates are coming down slightly to reflect the greater usage. For instance, rental fees for intown minors (which includes McNab-Braeside kids) during prime time and all summer is now $130 per hour, the same for out-of-time minors (regional teams like AA and AAA) which is now $169. That puts Nick Smith more on par with other area rinks looking to attract outside teams. The lower prices have worked in at least one instance. A historic Jr. A team will hold its training camp in Arnprior.

“The Lumber Kings have booked ice here in June,” report author Glenn Arthur said. “The

revenue is down in 2014 (with no agreement in place) and again in 2015 as the agreement was just put back in place and we had adjusted the ice rates back to the rates that were in place when the past agreement was in place.”

Arthur, the town’s recreation director, is spreading word to Aces, Titans and other region hockey teams that the fees are down again. He is confident at least some will return, given Arnprior’s central location for those teams.

“It is our hope that we will see a change in 2017 income as we hope to bring some past users back.”

Reid said he was “encouraged” by the information, adding that Nick Smith still needs two arenas. He also noted that more young families are signing up at primary schools, and that kids’ sports should grow again.

Input costs at the rink will come down too, if the town goes ahead with energy efficient lights and other measures. Much ice revenue was lost in recent years due to a faulty chiller. A new one was installed. However, more money will need to be spent. A $100,000 ice machine is needed.

The town is spending $10,000 to find out if one or both rink slabs need to be replaced.

(Reid is convinced any cracks in the cement can be sealed, avoiding $600,000 replacement in B side alone.)

“There’s a lot of money involved, so I just wanted to make sure the repairs were needed and the user numbers warranted it,” he said.

“For the most part, the numbers are trending down, but there are explanations for that.

“During prime time they look solid on both sides.”

MPP again demands gas tax fairness for rurals Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski re-introduced his private member’s bill to “bring fairness” to all of Ontario’s municipalities, according to a press release from his office.

rapid transit or public transportation system to get a tax rebate.

As a result, only 100 out of 444 municipalities received money from the gas tax even though every resident in the province pays into it, according to the press release.

A 10-YEAR CAMPAIGN

For a decade now, Yakabuski has been advocating to amend the Act to ensure that all municipalities share in a portion of the gas tax.

By making all municipalities eligible to receive a rebate the provincial government would be creating an equal playing field.

The federal government currently distributes their portion of the gas tax to all municipalities; only politics stands in the way of the province distributing its rebates in a similar manner.

“I first introduced this bill years ago in recognition of the fact that rural municipalities depend on roads and bridges as their public transportation system, yet receive no gas tax funding,” Yakabuski said.

“This issue became all the more pressing last month when Premier (Kathleen) Wynne committed to increasing the share of gas tax funding from two cents per litre to four cents per litre, which would mean that (as things currently stand) municipalities without transit will be out an additional $300 million by 2021-2020.”

Mr. Yakabuski noted that he was disappointed when Premier Wynne had her MPPs vote down this PMB in 2015, but that she now has an opportunity to make things right with the over three-quarters of municipalities in the province by supporting this fair and reasonable piece of legislation.

Salt-and-pepper thief shaken by OPP investigation, social media response RENFREW ARNPRIOR OPP

Renfrew and Arnprior OPP officers investigated six domestic disputes during the past week.

The Renfrew Detachment of the OPP investigated calls 205 for service during the week leading up to Feb. 27.

On Feb.23 a female attended The Cupboard Restaurant in Arnprior and stole a set of salt and pepper shakers. The theft was captured on video surveillance and the owner called the OPP. After the OPP began their investigation the footage was posted to social media. The suspect attended the restaurant and returned the stolen property.

The owner of the restaurant did not wish to pursue the criminal investigation.

CASH STOLEN FROM SENIORS

Two residents at a senior’s apartment complex on Robert Street in Arnprior reported to the OPP a quantity of cash was stolen from their residences. The thefts were discovered on Feb. 24. The investigation revealed an unknown female was on the property during the afternoon of Feb. 23. She was

wearing a nurse’s type of uniform, green or blue hospital scrubs. A similar description of a suspicious person was seen at another retirement residence in Arnprior, Island View Retirement Residence on Jack Crescent during the late afternoon on Tuesday February 22. She portrayed herself to be an employee of the building and attempted to offer assistance to the residents. She is described as being between 20-40 years of age, slender build with shoulder length straight brown hair. She was carrying an umbrella the day she was at Island View. Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

The OPP reminds all members of the public and workers in Senior’s Retirement Homes to be aware of their personal safety at all times. Consider keeping apartment doors locked at all times. Report suspicious people to the OPP for investigation immediately at 1-888-310-1122. The OPP’s website, www.opp.ca, contains a number of useful resources, tips and links.

Two vehicles were stolen from a residence on Fortington Street in Renfrew in the evening on Sunday February 26. Police responded when a neighbour noticed the ac-

tivity while the homeowner was away. Both vehicles were recovered and charges have been laid against several young people. The investigation is continuing.

The OPP encourages homeowners to take security measures when they are away. Ensure your driveway is plowed, mail is stopped or picked up and asking a neighbour to keep an eye on your property all make your home looked lived in and ensures problems are reported in a timely manner.

Fishing for family time

Plenty of volunteers from the Arnprior Fish and Game Conservation Club participate in the free fishing derby, held at Godwin’s Bay, off McLean Avenue on Feb. 18. Club president Jamie Kucharik, fourth from left, said turnout was excellent on the warm and sunny Saturday, with some 90 kids registered and 150 in total. Many came all the way from Ottawa, he said.

Royden Nix is one of the lucky few at Godwin’s Bay during the annual fishing derby. He landed this pickerel moments before the competition closed. It would contend with two pike (caught in the same hole) and two perch.

Connected to your community

A Canadian voice silenced Stuart McLean of CBC radio’s Vinyl Café was a Canadian superstar. And what did he do? He simply told stories.

Yes, famous and beloved across the country, Stuart gained his fame by telling us stories about Dave, owner of a second-hand record store, his wife Morley and their children Sam and Stephanie.

It was a combination of Stuart’s unique storytelling technique combined with the universal appeal of the stories themselves that led to his success.

You only had to hear his voice to know you were in for a treat.

He had a mischievous twinkle in this voice at times, a sound that made you nervously laugh in anticipation of what was coming.

His stories would hold his audience spellbound over the airwaves, with listeners embracing every word.

Who can ever forget the Christmas turkey story or the snowy trip to Cape Breton or changing the location of an outlet in the kitchen and oh, so many more!

How many times did each of us foresee what was going to happen, wonder why Dave did not anticipate it and then chuckle at the outcome.

History is littered with great storytellers – Shakespeare, Dickens, Jane Austen and the more modern J.K. Rowling, to name a few.

The American humourist and folksy raconteur Will Rogers was one who perhaps foreshadowed Stuart in some respects.

And don’t forget the Ottawa Valley’s own Mary Cook among our engaging storytellers.

But Stuart seemed to take storytelling to a new level.

It was not hard to identify with those who sang his praises following his unexpected death from cancer.

His stories spoke to people. They taught us the importance of the unimportant. They showed us that the world is a good place.

All this was true and all were reasons for his popularity and success.

Yes, Stuart, we will miss you and your stories. We will miss your humanity, your impeccable timing and the way you could hold our attention, waiting for that next thought to drop. You are Canada’s story, Stuart – quiet, unassuming, observant, funny but most of all, human. Goodbye, Vinyl Café.

Electoral reform unnecessary in a successful democracy To the editor:

In response to last week’s letter by Stefan Klietsch regarding electoral reform.

There are a number of counter arguments I could make against electoral reform, but a few to me seem important.

First, why?

Why do we need electoral reform?

We live in one of the greatest countries on the planet, all mainly due to how our society chooses who gets to govern us.

The advancements in our society

over the past 100 years must seem like a dream to citizens in most countries.

Can anyone pushing electoral reform guarantee me, or the majority of us that like the system we have now, that any new system will be better?

Second, why does your vote have to matter?

Democracy has survived on the very principle that sometimes your vote won’t count, that the party or the idea that loses the election works to make itself better or more appealing to voters next election.

The very foundation of democracy is that sometimes you vote for the side

that loses, so, in essence, your vote didn’t count.

I know there seems to be a push in our society to make safe places and give every child a participation medal, but democracy isn’t a social experiment for what seems to be a very small percentage of people who are pushing for reform, something to play around with.

And lastly, the people who are pushing for electoral reform stand steadfast against a referendum, which I find a tad ironic, because, you’re basically arguing that democracy is best served when Canadians are told to stay at Sales Manager: Leslie Osborne leslie.osborne@metroland.com 613-432-3655

home. Someone else will decide this for them.

The Liberals snookered voters from the NDP and the Greens; they lied, they never had any intention of electoral reform.

The Conservatives will only agree to electoral reform with a referendum, but they too have no intention to change our electoral system.

That leaves approximately 30 per cent of Canadians who may or may not want electoral reform.

See how democracy works there.

ADHS name change: Democracy at its worst To the Editor:

Whichever side of the name change you are on can be debated. For me: I am against the name change, but I will come back to that.

What irks me and a lot of others is the lack of consultation, debate, and town hall meetings to discuss this matter. In my email to the current principal (which at the time of this writing I have not received a response) I stated to him that ADHS does not belong solely to him or to me. It also definitely does not belong to a school board or an education ministry filled with those who have absolutely no ties to this school or this community. It

belongs to everyone who has been involved with ADHS for a century. We all deserve a voice in a matter that is important to the history of our town. For one person or a small group to decide for thousands who have connections to the school is just plain wrong.

I know that there are more important matters in the world than this. I get it. I could also care less that this matters to nobody outside of Arnprior. It matters in our community.

As for the name change. There are many of us who can understand that the name Redmen can mean wearers of red. No depictions of certain people, groups, communities, just those who wear red. No more, no

less. We are not rednecks, bigots, insensitive humans. We are just people who can understand that red is just a colour even if you put it beside men. Be offended if you wish; it does not make you right.

In the end, I would hope that the current principal would realize the value of a democracy.

Contrary to his statements that there has been “little opposition” to his decision I would suggest that he step out from his circle of “yes-men” and talk with the many who oppose his decision. This is what we do in a democracy. Even in a small town.

Rob Saunders Arnprior

Proud to be a Redman for almost half a century now To the Editor:

That’s right. Arnprior Redmen.

I don’t care what new name the overly ‘politically correct’ high school administration comes up with, I will always consider myself a Redman.

I graduated from Arnprior District High School (ADHS) almost a half century ago and I’m very disappointed in this move to change the name of the sports teams.

I’m a small ‘l’ liberal but I completely disagree with this action.

I agree with student Evan Bissonnette who states on Facebook that the name represents the history of the

institution and now some interloper wants to wipe out tradition because he imagines some slight to a minority.

Redmen is not disparaging.

When I played on the sports teams at ADHS I was proud to be a Redman, a warrior belonging to a proud race of indigenous people.

When I played cowboys and Indians as a child I would gladly be an Indian because they were brave.

I suppose they will want to change the name of the childhood game next.

I doubt that the majority of indigenous people are offended by the name and I think in a democracy the majority should rule and not have some pet cause dictated by a person in a position of power.

This handsome cat is Merle!!

Merle is a gentle, senior boy at approx. 12 years old. He was found after trying to scavenge for food out of someone’s garbage. Not only is Merle a senior, but he is deaf and declawed. He came to us with a mouthful of broken and infected teeth and entropion (a condition where the eyelashes roll into the eyes causing irritation and ulceration).

His eyes were badly ulcerated and he had difficulty seeing, he likely has lived his entire life in pain from this condition. Without a doubt he was once a family pet, circumstances left him living alone on the streets to fend for himself. Merle required 2 surgeries to correct his eyes as well as dental surgery. He is now healing and has a new lease on life. He is so affectionate, he loves attention and just wants to be loved. He has just started to play with his toys and loves his cat nip pillow!

Merle is looking for a cozy retirement home!

Arnprior Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption.

Featured animals are adopted quickly!

Suffering from Diabetes?

Diabetes, one of the most common condition in our current day and age, can often turn into a “silent killer” in advanced stages. During the initial stages we are having many uncomfortable symptoms associated with this condition which interfere in one way or another with our lives. However in advanced stages diabetes can contribute to prolonging our suffering and often healing journeys are incredibly challenged and can even be fatal.

I personally observed my grandfather suffer for many years from the ill effects of diabetes, where a wound wasn’t healing, which led to the amputaion of a toe and later on even of his leg. Finally, as we see all too often, I saw, what used to be a strong vibrant man, my grandfather giving up and suffering to his final days. That was unfortunately well before I knew about Heilkunst.

Diabetes is what I’d call more a challenging by-product of our industrial revolution era. In the majority of cases we can do a lot to try and prevent it - and by this I mean ourselves - not the Doctors. Lifestyle and of course eating habbits are considered to be the main culprits in the prevention or the management of diabetes. Stress and emotional challenges should not be overlooked or discredited to be doing their influential part as well.

Of course, just as with many other chronic conditions, the moment one organ is chronically challenged or damaged, it will have an effect on other organs as well.

This is how the viscious cycle often starts.

Our Heilkunst treatment will look at all facets of the diabetic condition, from prevention, hereditary challenges, life styles, nutritional habbits to pain management. We will look at organ rejuvenation and will try to bring back a proper organ function of your pancreas. Our Live Blood Analysis will help assist any nutritional deficiencies, so you know where to put your money and efforts to rebuild your body, rather than shooting stars by taking a lot of supplements not knowing whether you actually need or benefit from them.

I helped many people manage their diabetes to prevent any medication as well as bringing individuals off the needle to manage their diabetis just with medication.

Can you imagine how grateful they are to have this new peace of mind?

Can YOU imagine what kind of new freedom and peace it would be if YOU could also personally benefit from our treatment? Not even to mention how happy your spouses, children or loved ones would be to see you manage this condition in a new way. Take Control…Experience Heilkunst!

Accident with injuries

TOP OF THE MORNING AND THE REST OF THE DAY TO YOU.

A red Hyundai was ticketed for attempting a left turn onto Daniel Street from Madawaska Street at about 6:30 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 24. Both the female driver, 41, and 28-year-old driver of the oncoming blue Dodge Neon suffered minor injuries. Paramedics were on scene but if it is unclear if the drivers went to hospital.

Take Metroland’s shopping survey to win up to $5,000 Sport-specific skills like jumping, throwing, kicking, running, catching, striking, agility, balance, coordination, and speed will be introduced and developed. Our program goal is for each participant to have improved in one or more of the following areas: physical skill acquisition, physical fitness, social skill development, decision making, knowledge and understanding, and a true and lasting appreciation of physical activity.

The FUNdamentals program is intended as a vehicle for fostering and developing improved social, physical and cognitive abilities of young athletes, and building the foundation for future sports success. We wish to introduce children at a younger age to the world of sport, allowing for earlier development of fundamental movement skills.

It’s also a wonderful opportunity for participants to interact with peers in a fun environment while learning and improving upon basic motor skills. As well, both children and care givers will be educated about nutrition and the importance of a balanced lifestyle, which will help them stay healthy throughout their lives.

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, March 2, 2017 11

Cora’s sudden departure raises questions at Northcote school It was certainly something to think about. And it was the talk of the Northcote School.

Of course, we younger girls were never included in the whispering that went on with those in the senior grades. But we certainly knew something was going on, because the older girls stood off to one side, whispering, with heads bent, and a look on their faces that would scare a saint.

We knew it had something to do with Cora. She hadn’t been to school for weeks. Her desk stood empty, and Miss Crosby never once said why Cora was absent.

The senior girls certainly knew, but their lips were sealed. Except among themselves.

Velma said even her older sisters wouldn’t talk about it. All Iva said was “poor Cora,” which made us all wonder if she had come down with some terrible disease.

Well, bad Marguerite, with more faults than enough, said she knew ex-

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

actly what had happened to Cora, but she wasn’t about to talk about it to us!

Velma, smarter by far, told Marguerite she was sure she didn’t know any more than we did.

Well, that tore it! Marguerite told Velma if she gave her one of her ginger snap cookies, she’d tell us the whole story. Velma’s mother made the best gingersnap cookies in the entire county, winning all the prizes at the Renfrew fair. It was Joyce who talked Velma into making the deal. We met in the farthest corner of the schoolyard, which is where Marguerite told us to be at recess, even though it was

bitterly cold, and we would much rather have stayed in the school. But finding out about Cora was more important to us than freezing to death on a winter’s day.

You could barely see Marguerite’s slit eyes under her fur hat. Why she wanted us to stand in a certain order was beyond me, but then I thought it had more to do with being in charge than anything else.

Finally, after Velma handed over the gingersnap, Marguerite said Cora had gone off to what was called the Home for Wayward Girls. “Liar, liar, pants on fire,” Joyce yelled at her. “You have to be very bad to go there, and we all know how polite Cora is, and never does anything bad in school, like someone else we all know,” she said, never taking her eyes off bad Marguerite.

“Well, you wanted to know, and I told you. That’s where she is.”

We had no idea where this home was. We certainly knew it wasn’t in

Douglas or Eganville.

But it didn’t matter a whit where it was, Cora certainly wasn’t in any Home for Wayward girls! Not Cora!

All we knew about the place was that you had to be very, very bad. Using a swear word could get you there. Certainly stealing, or telling a big lie as opposed to a little fib, could certainly send you off. But Cora never missed church, was polite to Miss Crosby, and never cheated at Jack’s or Parcheesi.

And then one Sunday, long after Cora had suddenly stopped coming to school, she appeared at church.

There she was the same as always, smiling and singing the hymns like she had never been away from the Northcote School. As always, after church, people stood at the back and got caught up on all the news, and there stood Cora among everyone talking about the new job she got in the city of Ottawa. Velma and I took in every word. She said she was doing housework at a home for young girls and not

Phone: 613-256-2064 • 1-888-779-8666

once did she mention the Home For Wayward Girls, but we knew without a doubt that’s where Cora was.

We couldn’t wait to get to school on Monday to tell Marguerite that Cora had done nothing wrong, other than being in Senior Fourth where often the young girls were taken out to go into Renfrew, or in this case, the city, and do housework to help pay the bills at home.

And I wondered why the older pupils at the Northcote school were so secretive about it, and then I knew it was because that each one of them knew that one day each could face the same fate. And I said a silent prayer that my sister Audrey, in Senior Fourth, wouldn’t be one of them.

Winter demo derby a ‘smashing success’ in Arnprior DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The inaugural winter demolition derby was considered a “smashing success”, according to organizers.

A fundraiser for the struggling Arnprior Agricultural Society, about 650 spectators filled the bleachers at the fair grounds on a beautiful Saturday, Feb. 18 afternoon. While the nonprofit with numerous debtors won’t

say how much was raised, treasurer Cathy Wilson confirmed the event proved profitable.

Up next for the Arprior Agricultural Society, on March 25, is its third 4-Hand Euchre Tournament Series at the Arnprior Canadian Legion, 49 Daniel Street, North. Registration starts at 12 noon and tournament starts at 1 p.m. Two-person teams, eight games played and light lunch provided. $700 in prizes.

Derek Dunn/Metroland

With his hand extended high in the air, in car #44, is grudge match winner Gary HayBecker of Arnprior.

He takes home $260 for his 10-minutes work. Josh Rancourt car #14 rammed another, got stuck to it and couldn’t get loose, handing the match to Haybecker. But Rancourt did win the Mad Dog trophy. Demolition derby rules are not complicated: last car moving wins. Right: Splish splashing around in a pit with a bunch of bent cars and drivers gunning for you.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: A SERIES ON INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE IN RENFREW COUNTY - 1 OF 3

Ending Violence Against Women (EVA)-Renfrew County is a committee that focuses on prevention, education, systemic change, and service provision related to violence against women. More than half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16.

Approximately every 6 days, a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner. On any given night in Canada, 3,200 women and their 3000 children sleep in shelters because it isn’t safe at home. Yet we often turn a blind eye to the violence next door, thinking it isn’t any of our business. When the public or media do pay attention to Intimate partner violence it is after the fact, when it is already too late to save someone from injury or even death. We must start making it our business. This 3 part series on intimate partner violence aims to increase understanding in our communities, with the hope of preventing harm and increasing support to our neighbours, friends and family members who are experiencing abuse. Follow us on Facebook @EVA-End Violence AgainstWomen-Renfrew County and If you wish to get involved do not hesitate to reach us at evarenfrewcounty@gmail.com.

What is Intimate Partner Violence?

We define Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. The frequency and severity of IPV can vary dramatically. IPV can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone. IPV can happen to anyone regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender. IPV affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels. IPV occurs in both opposite-sex and same-sex relationships and can happen to intimate partners who are married, living together, or dating. IPV can result in physical injury, psychological trauma, and in severe cases, even death. The devastating physical, emotional, and psychological consequences of IPV can cross generations and last a lifetime.

Warning Signs for Neighbours, Friends, and Families You may suspect abuse is happening to a neighbour, friend or family member, but do not know what to do or how to talk about it. By understanding the warning signs and risk factors of woman abuse, you can help. If you recognize some of these warning signs, it may be time to take action: • She is nervous about talking when he’s there; • She seems to be sick more often and misses work; • She tries to cover her bruises; • She makes excuses at the last minute about why she can’t meet you; • She seems sad, lonely, withdrawn and is afraid; and/or • She uses more drugs or alcohol to cope; • He puts her down; • He does all the talking and dominates the conversation; • He checks up on her all the time, even at work; • He tries to keep her away from you; • He acts as if he owns her;

THE DANGER may be greater if: • She has just separated or is planning to leave; • She fears for her life and for her children’s safety or she cannot see her risk; • She is in a custody battle, or has children from a previous relationship; • She is involved in another relationship; 14 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, March 2, 2017

• She faces other obstacles (e.g. she lives in a remote area, no access to a phone); • He has access to her and her children; • He has access to weapons; • He has threatened to harm or kill her if she leaves him; • He has threatened to kill himself; • He has hit her, choked her; • He is going through major life changes (e.g. job, separation, depression); • He doesn’t seek support; • He watches her, listens to her phone conversations, sees her emails and follows her; • He has trouble keeping a job; • He takes drugs or drinks every day; • He has no respect for the law.

If you recognize one or more of these danger signs, be aware that the victim may be at risk of being murdered. Never assume that a victim is safe because she is planning to leave a violent relationship or has just left. Although leaving will increase her safety over the long term, the most dangerous time for her is just before she separates, while she is leaving and shortly after she separates.

Safety planning is critical during this period. *Reprinted from the Neighbours, Friends and Families Campaign

DISPELLING THE MYTHS! Myths and facts about Violence against women: MYTH: Violence against women rarely happens.

FACT: Violence toward women is extremely common, with half of Canadian women having survived at least one incident of physical or sexual violence throughout their lifetime.

MYTH: If women really wanted to leave a violent relationship they would.

FACT: Abused women leaving their partners are faced with the reality of severe physical assault or even death. Abusers may isolate their partners, depriving them of jobs, social and educational opportunities while maintaining control.

This combined with unequal opportunities for women makes it difficult for a woman to leave a violent relationship.

L’histoire de Mary Mary’s Story After 10 years of abuse Mary decided to take her children and leave the relationship and the family farm. In order to leave safely she had to go while her partner was away for a weekend. Mary realized there was no place to hide in a village of 800 people and in order to protect herself and her family she would have to go to and stay in the shelter more than 80 kilometers away.

She had saved a few dollars here and there from the grocery money to pay a “relief worker” to come in and milk the dairy cattle for three days until her husband came back to the farm. In Mary’s view – leaving the farm not only meant leaving her abusive partner it also meant changing her life as she knew it. Mary feels like she doesn’t belong in the shelter. Her children are used to walking in the woods, riding their snowmobiles and playing with the pets. They ask their mother when they are going to be able to go back home. Mary is starting to consider it.

Après 10 ans de violence et d’abus, Mary décide d’en finir avec sa relation et de quitter la ferme familiale avec ses enfants. Afin de quitter en sécurité, Mary a planifié de quitter pendant que son conjoint était parti pour une fin de semaine. Bien qu’elle aurait voulu rester près, il est évident pour elle qu’il n’y a pas d’endroit où se cacher dans un village de 800 personnes. Elle est ses enfants se sont déplacés à plus de 80 kilomètres afin d’être hébergés dans une maison d’hébergement. Elle avait épargné un peu d’argent ici et là afin d’embaucher un travailleur pour venir s’occuper du troupeau et de la ferme d’ici le retour de son mari. Aux yeux de Mary, quitter la ferme ne signifie pas seulement quitter son mari mais aussi un grand changement de vie. Mary ne se sent pas chez elle à la maison d’hébergement. Ses enfants sont habitués à marcher en forêt, jouer avec les animaux et se promener en motoneige.

Ils lui demandent quand ils pourront retourner à la maison. Mary commence à y songer.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A positive reaction to a stressful situation can only work in your favor, Aries. When others buckle under the pressure, you are able to deliver. Higher-ups will recognize this.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, even if you believe that your life is floating out of control, you have the ability to rein things in whenever you desire. Ask for help if you need it.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, although you may want to incorporate others’ plans into your weekly goals, this might be the time to focus solely on your own needs. Once you are set, you can assist others.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, there is no room in your life right now for lazy thinking. All of your focus must be directed at the tasks at hand because someone is relying entirely on you.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 No one can force you to share your deepest emotions if you’re not ready to do so, Leo. Wait until the time is right to bare any secrets. You may have romantic surprises.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, resist the temptation to give into impulses, analyzing and giving careful thought to your ideas instead. You have an entire week to work things out.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, continue to be diligent in your pursuit of knowledge. The more you learn, the more fulfilled you will be. Consider going back to school to satisfy your thirst for knowledge.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, speaking about fantasies as if they are real can be enjoyable, but do not start believing the tales are true. You may need a good dose of reality this week.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Relationship issues with a friend, spouse or even family member come to the forefront this week, Capricorn. Try to remain cool and level-headed throughout.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you will be recognized for your efforts behind the scenes even if you are not in the spotlight. It’s enough to get credit, especially if it can propel your career further.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, useful ideas come your way after a chat with colleagues or friends. Pool this inspiration together for a plan.

MARCH IS KIDNEY HEALTH MONTH Kidney Failure – Facing the Facts • Each day, an average of 14 Canadians learns that their kidneys have failed.

• The two leading causes of kidney failure in new patients are: Diabetes (35%) and Renal Vascular Disease (including high blood pressure –19.5%) • Over 4,000 Canadians are on the waiting list for a transplant; and more than 3,000 of them need a kidney transplant.

• Over 1000 kidney transplants were performed in 2006: 40% were from living donors.

• Canadians can help those with kidney failure by making a positive decision regarding organ donation, and discussing their wishes with their family.

The Kidney Foundation of Canada encourages all Canadians to take positive action toward organ donation, and to discuss their wishes with their family.

Ed Sidney

In loving memory of my dear brother Ed who passed away February 28, 2004.

The joy you gave to others, Your generous loving way, The countless hugs and love, Are remembered every day Our hearts still ache with sadness And secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, Ed No one will ever know.

IN MEMORIAM

In memory of Chris Warren June 1974 – February 1988 Time cannot erase the sorrow and pain that we feel, Nor can it make things better, Or force our hearts to heal.

Time is now a measure of the days since you’ve been gone, Of getting by the best we can, And trying to be strong.

Time should mend a broken heart, That’s what they say, But time will never change the fact that you’ve gone away.

You are in the arms of Dad now Chris, Love you always and forever Mom, Donna, Clint, Brooke and Zach, Jim, Kelli, Ben and Mary

the gingersnap, Marguerite said Cora had gone off to what was called the Home for Wayward Girls. “Liar, liar, pants on fire,” Joyce yelled at her. “You have to be very bad to go there, and we all know how polite Cora is, and never does anything bad in school, like someone else we all know,” she said, never taking her eyes off bad Marguerite.

“Well, you wanted to know, and I told you. That’s where she is.”

We had no idea where this home was. We certainly knew it wasn’t in Douglas or Eganville.

But it didn’t matter a whit where it was, Cora certainly wasn’t in any Home for Wayward girls! Not Cora!

All we knew about the place was that you had to be very, very bad. Using a swear word could get you there. Certainly stealing, or telling a big lie as opposed to a little fib, could certainly send you off. But Cora never missed church, was polite to Miss Crosby, and never cheated at Jack’s or Parcheesi.

And then one Sunday, long after Cora had suddenly stopped coming to school, she appeared at church.

There she was the same as always, smiling and singing the hymns like she had never been away from the North-

cote School. As always, after church, people stood at the back and got caught up on all the news, and there stood Cora among everyone talking about the new job she got in the city of Ottawa. Velma and I took in every word. She said she was doing housework at a home for young girls and not once did she mention the Home For Wayward Girls, but we knew without a doubt that’s where Cora was.

We couldn’t wait to get to school on Monday to tell Marguerite that Cora had done nothing wrong, other than being in Senior Fourth where often the young girls were taken out to go into Renfrew, or in this case, the city, and do housework to help pay the bills at home. And I wondered why the older pupils at the Northcote school were so secretive about it, and then I knew it was because that each one of them knew that one day each could face the same fate. And I said a silent prayer that my sister Audrey, in Senior Fourth, wouldn’t be one of them.
