White Lake Road. Most are upset at having found out in the newspaper, rather than directly from the proponent or council. They expected a public meeting before the township agreed to entertain a proposal. Bob Wachna of Madawaska Shores Investments did some preliminary consultations, talking with folks at Tim Hortons in Arnprior and employees at Antrim Truck Stop and W.O. Stinson & Son. He said the feedback was “all positive” and, even though it is the early stages, he intends to talk with neighbours near the park. “We’re not at the stage of approval, but my intention is to get ideas and input from local neighbours,” Wachna said. “We want to know their views and concerns they have.” See RV PARK Page 3

Sex ed to groom students for exploitation: MP Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Ontario’s updated sex-education curriculum will ready children for molestation, Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant suggested in the House of Commons on Feb. 26. Although the provincial document – written after much consulta-

tion - was met largely with approval when unveiled last week, Gallant insists that Liberal federal leader Justin Trudeau exceed his authority and force the provincial Liberal government to drop it. “On behalf of all the parents, grandparents and the vulnerable children of Ontario, we demand that the federal party leader order this

outrageous policy to be withdrawn now,” said Gallant, MP for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. “If it can prevent one child from being groomed for exploitation, this Liberal policy must be withdrawn.” She didn’t say how the curriculum would groom children. See SEX ED Page 3

RV park plans worry nearby residents Continued from front

Opponents worry the park will be taken over by partiers and, at about 200 sites for RVs and tents, the hustle and bustle will drive away locals. Wachna often repeats his desire to make the park a place of pride to all township residents. “I’m not promoting a wild space, no,” he said. “I believe if you tour many RV campgrounds in Ontario you will see without fail the majority are very well run and maintained. We want this to be a place for families and fisherman.” He wants to co-organize a fishing tournament with the local fish and game club. Although the latter could pull its launch from the site, Wachna wants to help improve it to attract even more local boaters. He added that better parking and a fishcleaning station should also bring in more anglers. As for the hustle and bustle concerns, many RVers will be seasonal so the coming and going will be limited. And on-site services – laundry and washroom facilities, and a registration desk with a snack bar – should do the same. Opponents also say litter will take a toll on the area’s pristine condition, but Wachna insists full-time manager

and summer students will ensure it is well kept. There will be no powerboat or jet ski rentals, and few RVers are known to bring them. Along with seasonal jobs, local contractors will build the park, and consumer dollars from the 200 RVers – over the entire first summer - will likely go to local restaurants and gas stations. An RV business in the township should benefit, too. A pricey environment assessment won’t be done until council indicates it is open to approving the project. Wachna doesn’t anticipate problems with septic and wastewater, saying many RVs don’t discharge at parks and a seasonal business doesn’t require major infrastructure. If e-coli (caused by cattle relieving themselves at the river’s edge) is a problem, the ministry of the environment should correct it, he said. Wachna said “no comment” to the issue of sensitive marine clay along the Madawaska, known as slip soil, which can cause the ground to slump and fall away as far as one kilometre inland. He noted the township built a large loop in the park some 30 years ago to accommodate a project of this kind. Criticisms of a beach area, saying sand will be blown into the river ev-

ery year, has Wachna considering a sanded area away from the shoreline. He wants beach volleyball and other activities, but not to the detriment of the environment. He isn’t aware of a serious dropoff some 20 feet from the shoreline. Safety issues are important, he said, but parents will be expected to keep a close eye on their children. He is aware of the petition but added that with any change comes resistance. And that all concerns will be heard and addressed. The timeline to open has extended from this June to “two or three years,” Wachna said. He plans to move to the township if the project is a go. He already owns property in McNab-Braeside. Wachna said the RV park is both a dream and investment, and that with his commercial experience (with a plaza) and knowledgeable close advisors, he hopes it works. “I have a personal interest in and love of the outdoors, and we want to do something that all residents will be proud of.” County of Renfrew planning director Bruce Horwath was contacted. He won’t speak to the project until his March 10 public presentation to the township’s planning advisory committee.

Sex ed policy ‘outrageous’: Gallant Continued from front

However, Gallant cited a Liberal deputy minister, now facing seven child pornography-related charges, as reason enough. Deputy PC leader Christine Elliot said there has been too much extreme rhetoric and too little rational discussion on the issue. Her party is calling for more parental involvement before the new curriculum comes into being next September. Valid concerns from parents are being drowned out by extremists, she indicated. The provincial Liberals are outraged by Gallant’s comments, saying former deputy education minister Benjamin Levin had nothing to do with creating the document. Ontario Education Minister Liz Sandals called the comments are misleading and false. “The claims she is making are absolutely outrageous and quite frankly disgusting,” Sandals told reporters Monday. “How could anybody be so badly informed about the real world?” The revision of Ontario’s Health and Physical Education curriculum began in 2007. More than 70 healthrelated organizations submitted reports for consideration and thousands of people provided feedback. It had not been updated since 1998. Gallant insists the sex ed curricu-

lum by the “Toronto Liberal Party” is more reason for parliamentarians to pass the Conservatives’ tough-onpedophiles legislation. The following is a transcript of Gallant’s statement, delivered last week in the House of Commons: Mr. Speaker, if anything demonstrates the need for this House to quickly pass Bill C-26, our Conservative legislation for tougher penalties against child predators, it is the decision by the Toronto Liberal Party to introduce sweeping changes to how grade school children are taught sex education. This curriculum was written by someone charged with two counts of distributing child pornography, one count each of making child pornography, counselling to commit an indictable offence, and agreeing to or arranging for a sexual offence against a child under 16. As a hand-picked Liberal provincial deputy minister, this powerful party insider was caught only after an international online probe. If it can prevent one child from being groomed for exploitation, this Liberal policy must be withdrawn. On behalf of the parents, grandparents and the vulnerable children of Ontario, we demand the federal party leader order this outrageous policy be withdrawn now.

Township on verge of development jump: Peckett Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

McNab-Braeside has plenty of challenges ahead. Roads and buildings are in a sorry state of disrepair. OPP costs are skyrocketing. And those are just two glaring examples. However, there is a ray of sunshine in the township’s situation. It has to do with growth, specifically residential developments. With the twinning of Highway 17 underway, Mayor Tom Peckett said the township is receiving the interest shown Arnprior in the year or so before twinning was completed to that municipality. He sat on town council at the time and remembers it well. “I feel development in the township is on the verge of increasing substantially,� Peckett said. The one or two houses built on a back road are less exciting as a rev-

enue generator for the township than is the 30-lot estate community or the 70-unit neighbourhood. The odd house here or there can help with ever-increasing operational and wage pressures. Like a business, municipal corporations must “grow to survive,� Peckett said. But costsavings are greater when services can be offered in clusters, such as neighbourhoods. Not only does the township get money from development charges, the ongoing residential tax portion can help greatly. BRAEBURN

A developer from Ottawa, Susan Anglin, is eyeing land next to the Burnstown bridge, near McLeod Building Supplies. If 30 homes in the $500,000 to $1 million range are built on waterfront overlooking the Madawaska River, it could bring in

substantial revenue. The municipality could see about $200,000 annually added to the revenue stream. Consider that a one per cent tax levy increase is $37,000. Peckett said Anglin is relatively new to developments, but she’s asking the township all the right questions and is getting her information to it in a timely manner. He is not worried that the development is unrealistic. “She seems like a pretty sharp person to me,� Peckett said. DUNCAN DRIVE

Another promising development that could get underway this spring is along Duncan Drive, between Highway 417 and the area of the soccer fields at Dochart Park. Cavanagh Construction could build about 70 homes, though no one at the company could be reached for comment.

The former Vern Rampton property will likely look similar to Callahan Estates, owned by Campanale Homes; a mixture of low and high end, bungalows and townhouses. Although waterfront properties demand higher taxes, the cluster effect will save township dollars on snowplowing and other services. “That’s good news for us,� Peckett said of the Cavanagh possibility. Municipal water and sewer can’t be offered by the township (it has no treatment facility). Whether Cavanagh will approach Arnprior, which has more than enough capacity, has yet to be established. USBORNE STREET

Two separate developers are going to build “nice houses� in Braeside, near the former Gillies mill. Each plans to build two homes overlooking the Ottawa. Well-known developer Scott McEwan, who bought a large tract of land from Peter Smith near where Vanjumar Road and Russett Drive meet, has talked to the township about a one hour before going to bed. The loss large residential development. Drainof an hour’s sleep will be well worth age will be an issue there. And the it if more spring-like weather comes with the time change.

Clocks to spring ahead Sunday morning It’s time to ‘spring ahead’ this Sunday, March 8. Daylight saving time officially begins at 2 a.m., so set your clocks ahead

Kidney disease: Common, harmful, treatable

Store Owners

Jack & Faith's

One of the hardest parts of diagnosing kidney disease is the fact that kidney problems often have few symptoms. For this reason, kidney disease is often called a silent killer. Medical experts estimate that as many as 2.1 million Canadians have kidney damage, but most of them aren’t even aware of it.

39 WINNER’S CIRCLE DRIVE, ARNPRIOR

Kidney disease is a term used to describe kidneys that have been damaged and are not working at ideal capacity. For most people, this damage happens gradually, over many years. When kidney damage is extensive, people develop kidney failure, or end stage renal disease. At this point, in order for a person to survive, they must undergo replacement therapy (dialysis or a kidney transplant) to do the work their kidneys can no longer do. Most people can live normal, healthy lives until their kidney function falls to 10 to 15 per cent. That is when most of the health problems become more noticeable.

INDUSTRIAL

Smith has also met with the township to discuss property he owns. It is zoned as light industrial. But again it would work best if it gets water and sewer from Arnprior. There is the controversial RV park proposed for Clay Bank. It has a number of hoops to go through, but proponents are hopeful it can be built and occupied this summer. Gilcrest Homes is in talks with the municipality about showcasing model homes on private land along Highway 417, though that wouldn’t mean additional revenue to the township. The potentials have Peckett offering reason for optimism. “We’re hoping for good things to happen in McNab-Braeside,� Peckett said.

property also has no access to the town’s municipal water and wastewater supply, a hurdle Smith couldn’t overcome back in 2009. The township also recently changed zoning on land near the township offices, at Anderson and Calabogie Road. About 30 homes could go there, not too far from McNab elementary school.

A complex Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing into appeals involving a major expansion at Miller’s Braeside Quarry got off to a slow start Monday. The hearing was delayed to ensure 26 people who had made a request regarding the company’s site plan knew the hearing was about to start. The hearing, presided over by

OMB chairman Marc Denhez, began in earnest Tuesday. It could last at least a month, with the public sessions starting at 9:30 a.m. at the McNab-Braeside council chambers. Miller’s is appealing the township’s refusal to allow a permanent asphalt plant on site, while nearby residents are appealing the size of the extraction area allowed.

Town seeks input as it gears up for downtown revitalization project Staff

The Town of Arnprior is seeking public input as it begins planning in earnest for the downtown infrastructure revitalization project. Council anticipates approving the final design for the five-year project by the end of this year. Construction is expected to start in 2016 if, as expected, it is included in next year’s town budget. An initial introduction and overview meeting will be held with the business and property owners affected by the project at the end of March. As well, a public open house is planned for July to give residents and business owners a chance to provide suggestions and feedback. The Town has contracted Jp2g Consultants to lead the design and engineering phase of the project along with a sub-consultant Lashley and Associates Landscape Architec-

ture & Site Engineering. The current design and engineering efforts are focusing on five streets and will include the re-design of the existing sewer network in the downtown with new separated sanitary sewers and storm sewers. The design will also include a new storm sewer outfall to the Madawaska River. New streetlights

The project will also include new watermains, roads, sidewalks and streetlights, and will incorporate recommendations from the Arnprior Streetscape and Landscape Design Plan adopted by council in December 2012. Subject to council approval, the phases of construction are targeted to proceed in the following years: • 2015 - McGonigal Street from Daniel Street to John Street;

• 2016 - John Street from Madawaska Street to McGonigal Street, Madawaska Street storm sewer outlet from John Street to the Madawaska River; • 2017 - Elgin Street from Daniel Street to Madawaska Street; • 2018 - John Street from McGonigal Street to William Street; • 2019 - McGonigal Street from John Street to Hugh Street, Hugh Street from Elgin Street to McGonigal Street; • 2020 - McGonigal Street from Hugh Street to the end (west of MacDonald Street). The consultants are keeping downtown property-owners up-todate in mail-outs, with another one planned in March. All interested parties can sign up to receive the updates throughout the process by contacting civil engineer officer John Steckly at Arnprior town hall.

Province contributes to town project Staff

The provincial government has announced infrastructure funding for dozens rural projects, including one in Arnprior. The town’s downtown revitalization project will receive up to $495,000 to replace combined sewer/storm main with separated mains. The new mains will reduce contamination in the river ways, says a provincial release regarding the allocation, which had been first announced months ago. The Town of Renfrew is getting almost $2 million to repair Veterans Memorial Boulevard and Raglan Street South, a section of Highway 60. The road will be repaved and sidewalks added. Another $3.2 million will go toward other infrastructure projects in the area. The Township of Bonnechere Valley has been awarded $1.7 million make upgrades to sections of Highway 41. The work will increase the safety

for traffic, pedestrians and cyclists. Renrew County will receive up to $1.25 million for the reconstruction and resurfacing of a section of County Road 19 near Pembroke. The project will increase pedestrian and bike safety. The Liberal government earmarked the money for rural areas as part of its economic plan. Along with funding education, businesses, and retirement plans, the province is investing in areas such as roads and sewers. “Investing in essential infrastructure projects not only increases the quality of life in communities across

Ontario, but also creates jobs and generates significant economic growth in areas that need it most,� said Brad Duguid, minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure. “I’m pleased that we are moving forward with our plan to support small, rural and northern communities, and we will continue partnering with municipalities across Ontario to make unprecedented infrastructure investments.� The announcement of 78 rural infrastructure projects worth about $50 million was made Feb. 25.

Spring is a time of year most Canadians look forward to, and M.J. Enright & Sons Tree Services Inc. is available to help with all the spring clean-up. It’s time to get outdoors after being cooped up all winter and enjoy sunshine and fresh air, but it’s also a time to clean-up the yard after a long, harsh winter filled with ice, snow and slush. In reality, spring yard work and the clean-up that is involved can be a lot of hard work. It can also be time consuming and physically demanding on people. M.J. Enright Tree Services are certified arborists. They know how to whip a property into shape once the ice melts and the snow recedes. Services they can provide in the spring time include damaged tree assessment, yard cleanup, branch and brush removal, pruning to encourage new

growth and help maintain the shape of trees, shrubs and hedges. The company is also trained on safe practices when it comes to dismantling and removing damaged trees from a home, cottage or around Hydro Lines. The staff employed by M.J. Enright & Sons Tree Services Inc. are certified utility arborists as well and they ensure that all trees are removed in a responsible manner, and that proper clean-up is done afterwards.

White Lake Winter Carnival fun

Clockwise from above: An game of hockey Saturday afternoon was one of the main features at the White Lake Winter Carnival. Young Kira Desarmia, in the Pittsburgh Penguins sweater, has the inside track on a loose puck. Many carnival-goers hadn’t tried smooshing before, and it’s harder than it looks. After a struggle, from front, Savana Pinsent, Alexandra Martin, Teagan Strelow and Katie McLaughlin appear to be doing quite well on the boards. Hannah Spark gets her face painted by Debbie Laventure. Dwayne Phillips is at the wheel of the tractor, providing wagon rides for festival-goers at White Lake Park.

Volunteer firefighters recognized for time served at council Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The most prominent portion of the Arnprior council meeting on Feb. 23 attracted the largest crowd. Several members of the Arnprior fire department were given awards in appreciation of their service. Family and fellow firefighters attended to show support. “The role of today’s first responder has placed increasing demands and pressures onto those men and women who serve in communitie across our nation,” said fire chief John Okum, who has also been on the department for 26 years. “The potential risks associated with these jobs, are officially recognized by the federal government through the honours system.” Richard Desarmia, James Herbert and Stephen Leung all began their service with the fire department in October 1994. They have given thousands of volunteer hours – either by fire prevention, public education and emergency response.

The three were all presented with Canadian honours. “They received the Fire Service Exemplary Service Medal,” said Okum. “This medal is based on two criteria, which is service time of 20 years and exemplary service, which is characterized by good conduct, industry and efficiency.” Stephen Styles also was awarded the same accolade, as he started out as a volunteer firefighter with the McNab-Braeside fire department in January 1994. He served there for 17 years. Styles, now does his firefighting time with Arnprior. Okum presented the award with some help from McNab-Braeside fire chief Dave Hartwick. Last to be honoured was Blaine Carr, “Blaine joined the department on Nov. 5, 1974 and continues to serve as a firefighter today, which gives him 40 years of dedicated service,” said Okum. “Blaine has put in the volunteer hours twofold.” Carr was recognized provincially by the Office of the Fire Marshall and Emergency Management and federally by the Governor General of Canada.

Kitchen fire lands local woman in hospital An Arnprior resident escaped a kitchen fire with minor injuries after using an extinguisher to douse the flames last week. Town firefighters responded to a call from an apartment complex just after 7 p.m. on Feb. 20. When they arrived on scene of the Spruce Crescent fire, some building occupants were standing around the front of the 16-unit building watching smoke pour from the second floor. “The fire broke out in a kitchen and was extinguished by the occupant who used a portable fire extinguisher,” said fire Chief John Okum in a press release. “The occupant had also initiated the building’s fire alarm system to alert others of the fire condition.” The woman was transported by Renfrew County paramedics to the town hospital with smoke inhalation. She was treated and released later that evening. According to fire officials, the smoke alarm functioned in the apartment and the building’s fire alarm system also

operated. Fire crews contained the fire and confirmed they were able to locate and safely remove a family pet. Fire crews ventilated the building and residents were permitted to return to their apartments about an hour later. Investigators concluded that the fire originated on the stove top and was accidental in nature. The building is owned by Renfrew County Housing Corporation. The evening after the Arnprior fire, 12-year-old twins Jacob and Gabrielle Rondeau died in a Gatineau house fire. Their older brother left a pot of oil on the stove after going out to pick up pizza. A couple of days later two youngsters were killed in a fire in Gracefield, Quebec. That fire too was possibly cookingrelated.

Ontario statistics reveal that cooking continues to be a leading cause of residential fires. The Arnprior fire department reminds the public of a few key kitchen safety points: • Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol don’t use the stove or stovetop. • Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove. • If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking. • Keep anything that can catch fire - oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains — away from your stovetop.

Don’t let ignorance derail sex education W

hen is the best time to learn how to use a compass? Before you get lost in the woods or when/if you

survive? Should a student learn how to measure the angles in a triangle before the geometry test or after? And lastly, do we make sure kids know sexual activity can have negative consequences before they are sexually active or after they are pregnant, diseased or damaged? Arming children with information they need to make good decisions is what we ask our schools and teachers to do. In a perfect world, parents would provide all the sex ed information their child needs before they need it. Kids’ questions at home would be answered and the lines of communication would allow discussion and continuing learning. The Ontario government recently introduced new health and sexual education guidelines for teachers. The goal is clear: get information to students at appropriate times, knowing that they

will need it before they face important decisions. Playing the part of the ostrich is Campaign Life Coalition, which immediately set about trying to scare parents. The coalition’s press release warned the new curriculum, “... will discuss oral and anal sex in Grade 7, masturbation in Grade 6, homosexuality in Grade 3 and sexual body parts in Grade 1.� Take any parent who has problem with anal and oral sex being discussed in Grade 7 and ask them: when do you plan to discuss it with them? The answer is likely never, which leaves their kids at greater risk of a bad decision than those who learn the risks at school. Naming sexual body parts happens in the home, well before a child gets to school. Kids have questions, and parents provide names. By the first day of junior kindergarten, every kid will know that boys and girls are different. So what’s to be scared of? In a word, ignorance.

Blood services seeks donors on March 11 To the Editor:

The upcoming blood donor clinic on March 11 in Arnprior is not looking great. We still have to fill 61 appointments and we have found that the hard winter has been negatively impacting our cancellation and noshow rates across the region. Knowing this, it is doubly important that we fill every single appointment in advance of the clinic, as there is a strong probability that

many donors will not be able to honour their appointment on the day of the clinic. As you may be aware, all of the blood that we collect is used to supply local hospitals for patient care. Your help would be greatly appreciated on Wednesday at Nick Smith Centre, 1:30 to 4 p.m. and 5 to 6:30 p.m. See blood.ca to make an appointment or call 1-888-2donate. Thank you, in advance.

Leaving with some wonderful memories and many friends festival, which is great and I’m sure he will continue to do very well  with it. Mike will be announcing shortly who will be working with him to continue the great success it has become. Now is your time to step up and help Mike, going forward. Be proud of it with him. On behalf of my wife and family, we would like to thank you, yes the thousands of wonderful friends we have made over the 32 years, and hope we can keep them. The great groups at some time may have helped at some affairs. Those who trusted us by donating a huge amount of money over the years, so they could become a reality. Very few have said no when asked. Over the coming years I’m sure we will miss you and love you. May you always be as proud of our community as we are. We owe you so much.

Thanks to the community for the snowsuit donations To the Editor: The Arnprior Snow Suit program, the board of directors and the clients would like to extend a warm thank you to the commu-

nity, churches, service clubs and businesses for their support this winter season. Your donations of money and articles of winter clothing helped those in need during this cold winter.

The Arnprior White Pine Festival will be going on again. It will be held Aug. 22 and 23. There will be any of the past things  and some new changes for this year. All the new things and new format will be posted in the local news outlets. Keep in touch. One thing that has changed is myself. I will not be involved with this year’s festival. After 32 years in community work in our great town of Arnprior, I have felt it is time for my wife and I to spend the next part of our life doing things that we can enjoy for ourselves. Places to see, things to do, time spent for us. Over the 32 years we were involved every year with something. Things like helping with so many other groups, especially the

Arnprior Lions Club (26 years)  beautifying our park, the best on the Ottawa River. With the Lions running bingos, BBQs, collecting money to help so many causes or families, donating to house fires, helping many people with medical problems, with our Canada Day celebrations, second to none. Having car shows in the park with visitors in the 4,000-6,000 crowds. Selling antique cars for years to raise funds, being involved with our fair for two years and looking after the gates for years. Running a WWW wrestling match (so few people showed up Glenn Arthur and I just about had to get up and wrestle). There were so many other great things done by a great group, ‘The Lions’. Next was becoming partners with a great partner and a great friend, Mike Marcil from Giant Tiger, and starting the White Pine Festival. Mike will still be involved with the

Bidding a fond farewell to winter With the winter’s final days fast approaching, I went to Algonquin Park to experience the passing season in its finest. For two days the temperature hovered around minus 30 at dawn, and during the day the sun stared down with warm intent from skies so blue they looked heavy. Everywhere the Park was cloaked with immaculate snow well over a metre deep and surprisingly soft. It was impossible to move around without snowshoes, yet even with them it was a real workout for every each step took you deep down into snow. In the maple-dominated hardwoods, yellow leaves of young

wandered unseen through those woods at night. Yet in daytime even the birds seemed absent. The conifer-fringed streams and lakes were also silent. In most years they are alive with the incessant chatter of finches. But this year all the conifers conspired to hold back cone production so there is no food for seedeating birds. That is why most birds were concentrated where they were fed, such as at the Algonquin Visitor Centre. Along with the Common and Hoary redpolls, an American Marten visited the feeders. This beautiful treeclimbing weasel was especially fond of the suet put out for

A Caregiver’s Story Before being introduced to The Grove Nursing Home daytime program, 68 year old Ben* had nowhere to turn. His wife, Diane, had been battling Parkinson’s disease for over 20 years and had recently developed Dementia. As her mind and body continued to deteriorate, her condition completely consumed both of their lives. Taking care of Diane became a full time job. Ben found that he was so focused on his wife that he wasn’t able to take care of the other needs in his life. Work began to pile up and he found that his mood had worsened and his temper was getting shorter and shorter. He knew that it was time to reach out for help. Diane now attends The Grove daytime program three days a week. From 10 until 3, she is able to make friends and utilize her social skills while taking part in a suite of fun and interactive activities. Ben has really noticed a change in his wife as he has begun to see her bubbly personality again. Ben has also been able to reap the benefits of this experience.

woodpeckers. Elsewhere, a huge raven flew in the direction of a cliff near Opeongo Lake, a large stick held in its beak. This revealed the bird was building a nest; cliff ledges with overhanging rock are preferred sites for these hardy residents. Early next morning two ravens perched together in a large poplar beside that cliff. After an unsuccessful scan for their nest, I visited the Oxtongue River near the Tea Lake Dam. Current below the dam keeps the water open even in a cold winter, and because of the moisture in the air the White Pines bordering the river were painted white with frost. Fresh wolf tracks wove their way between the trees, so I howled to see if their makers were within earshot. I had just begun to howl when I noticed motion in the water. It was an otter, but my howls alerted it to my presence and it quickly vanished under the water. Many minutes later I was afforded a second glimpse of it. I slowly worked my way along the river, captivated by its embracing beauty. Suddenly a snowshoe caught a root and I fell, my left foot twisting out of its binding and my arm plunging deep into the snow. I was stuck and as I chuckled to myself at my predicament, I noticed movement in the river, this time under the water. A half dozen Speckled Trout, the largest bearing bright pink sides, wriggled their way upstream. Like all of you I welcome the arrival of spring. But I also bid fond farewell to winter. It can be tough and unforgiving, but winter exudes a unique beauty and invigorates you like no other time of the year. I shall miss it. The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

A 23-year-old Ottawa woman has died four days after being involved in a multivehicle crash in a snow storm on Highway 17 west of Arnprior. Lisa Ruth Lemoine died Wednesday, Feb. 25 from injuries received in a threecar collision between Anderson and Goshen roads just before 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21. Another two vehicles also ended up in the ditch as their drivers attempted to avoid crash scene. The snow and gusting winds made for poor visibility at the time of the collision. Six people in the five vehicles suffered injuries, but only Lemoine’s were considered serious. It was one of 27 motor vehicle collisions attended to by Renfrew and Arnprior OPP officers last week, prompting a police appeal to motorists to slow down during winter driving conditions and give themselves increased stopping distance. Renfrew OPP report that Lemoine was

driving a 2005 Mazda eastbound on the snow-covered highway when she apparently lost control. Her car was struck on the passenger side by a west bound 2010 Toyota RAV4. The Toyota spun around and struck a west bound 2008 Nisan Rogue. To avoid the collision, a west bound 2008 Pontiac entered the north ditch and an east bound 2010 Toyota entered the south ditch. As well as OPP officers and several crews of paramedics, McNab-Braeside firefighters attended the scene and help extricate people from their vehicles. ARNPRIOR HOSPITAL

Lemoine was treated by paramedics on scene and taken to Arnprior hospital in critical condition. She was later taken to Ottawa hospital by ambulance after it was determined it was too stormy to attempt an airlift. She eventually succumbed to her injuries in hospital. Lemoine is survived by her husband,

Joshua Levesque, parents Lorne and Deborah Lemoine; and sisters Karyn and Lindsay. Her funeral was held Sunday in Ottawa. Donations to the Arnprior Humane Society shelter are being accepted in her memory. The other five injured motorists were sent either to Arnprior or Renfrew hospitals for treatment. The highway was closed for about 10 hours as OPP officers investigated. OPP Constable Kevin Rebertz led the investigation with assistance from the Technical Traffic Collision Investigators and the Renfrew County Crime Unit. While not directly commenting on this case, the OPP advise that the majority of collisions in the winter are caused by people who drive too fast during adverse driving conditions and winter weather. A couple of days earlier, black ice on the highway between Arnprior and Calabogie Road was blamed for several vehicles sliding off the roadway. “Slow down, stay in control and stay safe,” OPP urge.

Council approves serving of alcohol at Braeside Cup Staff

McNab-Braeside council approved a special occasion permit for Dan Leblanc to allow the serving of alcohol during last Saturday’s Braeside Cup event.

It’s an “opportunity to breathe some life in the facility (Braeside RA Centre) there,” said Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden. At its Feb. 17 meeting, council was assured that LeBlanc, who rented the facility Feb. 21 for the outdoor hockey tournament,

had made all the arrangements necessary to be able to serve booze safely. Township recreation director Geoff Patterson explained that LeBlanc was partnering with the Arnprior Optimists Club, which was providing qualified servers as per the township policy.

County council prayer to stay Sherry Haaima

Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The controversy over whether Renfrew County Council will continue to begin regular meetings with a prayer wasn’t put to rest at the Feb. 26 meeting. The council member who requested the prayer be dropped, Head, Clara and Maria Mayor Jim Gibson, missed the meeting because he had the flu and no other member moved that the prayer be eliminated. Gibson, an atheist, is arguing that a prayer is an inappropriate way to open a meeting of a secular body. He is expected to raise the matter again at the March County council meeting. However, it appears the majority of council are against making the change. Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon has said that the written copy of the prayer will be removed from Gibson’s desk and he is welcome to leave the room or remain seated while the prayer is said. There is no expectation by council or administration that anybody has to pray, stressed Emon, However, the reciting of the prayer tradition will continue, he added. Emon explained that Gibson approached him and CAO Jim Hutton earlier this year with the request and was told a change in procedural bylaw needed to come through the finance and administration committee. Gibson subsequently submitted a written request, which was discussed at the committee

chaired by Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack at its Feb. 17 meeting. “At this time the committee is recommending the procedural bylaw not be amended,� said Emon. The non-denominational verse the county uses is taken from the House of Commons and provincial Legislature, explained Emon. The prayer replaced the reciting of the Lord’s Prayer more than a decade ago, when that was challenged by a county resident. “This particular prayer was challenged in 2004 in the Supreme Court of Justice in Ontario and found to be not infringing on a person’s rights by reading it,� said Emon. The judge was “quite clear it did not infringe on anybody’s Charter of Rights,� said Emon. “In the charter itself, it mentions God.� The prayer is not coercive and doesn’t impose religious beliefs, he continued. Mostly all of the response to his decision to maintain the prayer has been positive. “I’ve had about 40 emails, all of them in varying degrees of support,� said Emon. In terms of what’s happening across the province, Emon said of the municipalities that are still reciting The Lord’s Prayer, most are in the process of reviewing that. “About 200 municipalities out of 444 have some kind of prayer, whether it be The Lord’s Prayer or the prayer we use,� he said. When contacted, Gibson said any response he has will be delivered at council. “This is a matter between me, my employer and my workplace and anything I have to say will be said in open council,� he said.

Military vet, ex-forester vie to challenge Conservatives in riding Liberals from across the riding have had several opportunities to meet with the two green-lit nominees for the Liberal candidacy in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. The riding association has hosted meet-andgreet events and a question-and-answer session providing members with a chance to get to know the nominees, their stories and their passions for change. At the latest meeting, the two ‘green-lit’ nominees, Jeff Lehoux and Danny Janke, had a chance to answer prepared questions from policy chairman Oliver Jacob. At least three other Liberals are also seeking to be approved to run for the nomination. Jacob’s questions focused on personal passions of the nominees, supporting low- and middle-income families, the proposed Energy East pipeline, and helping veterans. Both candidates said they were working hard to meet with current Liberal members and trying to bring more people under the Liberal banner. Their responses were heard by over 20 members before they returned to their regular meeting agenda to discuss election readiness planning. On Jan. 18, a dozen Liberals members met with Lehoux and posed several questions con-

The Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario) will set a date for the nomination convention in the next few months and all Liberal members will be eligible to vote in the contest.

Gallant named to chair party’s nuclear industry caucus

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant and been unanimously elected as chair of the Conservative Party’s Nuclear Industry Caucus. The announcement came just days after the Conservative government announced it will be closing the National Research Universal reactor in Renfrew County. For many decades, Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. has led the world in the production of cancer-fighting isotopes at the nuclear plant in Chalk River, but that will end in 2018. The rest of the operation is being farmed out to the private sector. It is unknown if production will continue in Renfrew County or be moved elsewhere. “The nuclear industry is important to Renfrew County as a major employer. Thousands of Canadians enjoy good, well-paying jobs in this sector,â€? Gallant said of her new position. “I am proud of my record defending the nuclear industry and jobs in Renfrew County and in the House of Commons.â€? Gallant went on to say critics in the Opposition claim to support science-based decision making, but that when it comes to Canada’s nuclear success story “they refuse to look at the science and the facts.â€? Without naming names, she said she is encouraged that former opponents who have taken the time to become educated about the nuclear industry have joined the “intelligent discussion about the need for a diverse energy mixâ€? in Canada. Nuclear power is the work-horse of power supply and of zero-carbon generation.  Nuclear plants operate around the clock in all weather, providing over 50 per cent of Ontario’s electricity supply, she added. “Nuclear power electricity generation offers many additional advantages besides producing no greenhouse gas emissions. Industrial wind turbines only work when the wind blows, and they turn at times when power is not needed,â€? Gallant said. “This has led to Ontario electricity consumers paying billions of dollars to American states to take our excess electricity. Back-up fossil fuel generating plants are re-

quired for all the times the wind does not blow. They have to cycle up and down more often. “This stop-and-start cycling burns up more feedstock and increases greenhouse gas emissions across the board, which is bad for the environment.� She said nuclear power is economical compared to wind, costing less than half what is paid to the owners of industrial wind turbines. If consumers only paid the cost of electricity, electricity bills would drop up to 80 per cent, she said. “The global adjustment/carbon tax that is now added to electricity bills by the Ontario Liberal party has resulted in the exodus of thousands of manufacturing jobs, and has created real financial hardship among ratepayers, particularly anyone on a fixed income,� Gallant charged. “Of complaints I receive in my office, after the hated Liberal long-gun registry, the ever rising price of electricity in Ontario tops the list.�

Ontario PC Caucus backs nuclear energy push Ontario PC Interim Leader Jim Wilson has announced that the PC Caucus Nuclear Committee, co-chaired by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski and Bill Walker of Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound, will be leading caucus consultations to support Ontario’s nuclear industry that has been “neglected� by the Liberal and NDP caucuses. “The Liberals abandoned their commitment to build two new nuclear units at Darlington, and the NDP are consistently opposed to nuclear energy,� said Wilson. “With Pickering being decommissioned in five years, we need to ensure there is a plan for Ontario’s future energy needs. The Ontario PCs recognize that nuclear power is an economic fundamental to create jobs and energy.� “Ontario must be committed to supporting nuclear power,� said Yakabuski. “Today, nuclear power provides over half of our energy needs and it does so cleanly, competitively and reliably.� “Nuclear power has been an Ontario strength for decades,� said Walker. “Nuclear rates are half the cost of wind and solar rates, and the industry contributes more than $5-billion to our GDP while directly employing 25,000 people in good-paying jobs.� “We can’t power a 21st century advanced manufacturing and processing economy without planning for our future needs,� said Wilson. “The PC Caucus Nuclear Committee will focus on ensuring our vital nuclear industry remains a strong component of Ontario’s energy mix.�

Destination Imagination is coming to Arnprior in a big way. The non-profit, volunteer-led organization, incorporated in 1982, “help kids around the world discover their creativity. It is an active program in 30 countries,” explained Doug Hunter, the regional director of Eastern Ontario for the organization. Arnprior District High School will host an Imagination Destination Eastern Ontario Tournament this Saturday, March 7. About 400 students in 60 teams and up to 500 adults are expected to attend. Teams are made up of students from kindergarten to high school and will be coming from the Ottawa Catholic board, the Renfrew County public school board, the Renfrew County Catholic board, the Ottawa French Catholic board and the Limestone Board in Kingston. “There are two teams from Walter Zadow and two teams from St. John XXIII competing at the tournament. Both schools are in Arnprior,” noted Hunter. There are two teams from Our Lady of Fatima, one team from St Thomas Apostle, four teams from Queen Elizabeth and two teams from Central Public School, which are all schools in Renfrew. In total, there are more than 40 teams competing from Renfrew County. That makes for a total of more than 200 students from Kindergarten through high school attending from within Renfrew County. “Teams must do the research and experimentation needed to solve every aspect of the team

challenge and develop a performance-based presentation demonstrating the team’s solution,” said Hunter. The challenge that the teams pick to test their creativity will fall under one of six areas – technical, scientific, structural, fine arts, improv, service learning/project outreach and early learning/rising stars. After weeks of work, the teams will go to the Arnprior tournament, which might also include a possible ‘instant challenge’. Instead of lots of time of preparing, teams will only have minutes to work on their task. “Students will receive feedback and scoring on their challenges,” said Hunter. “They will have the ability depending on scoring to proceed to the Ontario provincial tournament and perhaps even the global one in Knoxville Tennessee in May. “Last year, two teams from Renfrew County did so well at the provincial tournament that they were able to go to the global tournament, a very exciting time for both teams of students. The program has really taken off, especially in Renfrew County.” Hunter is a firm believer in the importance of the global program, after 30 years at IBM. He volunteered his time as regional director, just three years ago, when he found out no schools in the area were involved in the Destination Imagination program. “I am passionate about the importance of creativity and critical thinking skills for this generation of students,” said Hunter. “We need to become more innovative and the key is to raise a new generation who will become those innovators.”

Arnprior Ringette team strikes gold The Arnprior McNab U16 Junior ringette team won gold at the West Ottawa Tournament on Feb. 16. The girls started off a little shaky on the Friday, losing their first game to Nepean 4-3. They won their next three games to advance to the finals on Sunday afternoon against Nepean. It was an exciting game and the girls pulled together for a 4-3 win to earn the gold medal. The team has placed seventh out of 20 teams in Ontario and will be competing in the provincials during March break in New Market. Team supporters wish the girls good luck at the provincials.

Packers end season with OT game seven loss in Stittsville Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The Arnprior Packers season has come to an end in heart-breaking fashion. The Junior B Packers were leading their playoff series with the Stittsville 3-2, but two close losses on the weekend has sent the Rams on to play the Renfrew Timberwolves in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Valley Division final.

The Packers, third-place finishers in the regular season, came as close as a team could to moving on, as game seven Sunday afternoon went into double overtime. Unfortunately for the Packers it was Sttittsville who finally broke through for a goal to win the series 4-3. Arnprior had a chance to clinch the series on home ice last Friday, as the two teams clashed in game six at the Nick Smith Centre. Stittsville ruled the first period, pulling ahead 2-0. Neil

SCOTT CAMPBELL /METROLAND

Arnprior Packers captain John McLean ) heads up ice during action at the Nick Smith Centre between the Junior B Packers and the Stittsville Rams.

AD PROOF FORM

Penner and Talmadge Farnes put the puck in the net for the Rams. Packers picked up the pace in the second period and evened the score within the first three minutes. Robert Darnowski and Casey Doner get the credit for the two goals. Brandon Mendham and Corey Chaplin helped out with assists. With the score 2-2 going into the third, it was anybody’s game. However, Stittsville managed two quick goals in the first five minutes of the final stanza to pull ahead 4-2, then hung on for the victory to tie the series at three. The best-of-seven series became a best-ofone on March 1. The winner-take-all showdown was back in Stittsville for an afternoon game. Packers began well, scoring the only goal of the first period. Robert Darnowski was the marksmen with Michael McGraith getting the assist. Stittsville’s Connor Cobbold started off the scoring for the second with Mitch Kerwin and Riley McGuire earning the assists. Arnprior jumped ahead 3-1, with Cole Allard and Casey Doner scoring. Liam Killeen and Doner set up the goals. The game shifted in Stittsville’s favour in the third period though, with Mike DiBello and Shane Hiley tallying to tie the game. The first overtime period was scoreless, sending the game to double overtime. Stittsville’s Mitch Kerwin was the overtime hero,

scoring the series-deciding goal. Cobbold and Jordan Boutillier earned the assists. Darnowski’s goal would be his last in an Arnprior Packers uniform. He expressed his thoughts on social media, in a tweet he wrote: “Thanks to my (Packers) teammates, the coaching staff, ownership and the volunteers for an amazing last season of hockey.” FOND MEMORIES

Along with Darnowski, goaltender Dominic Plaschy, Chris Deschamps and Casey Doner – Doner scored in games six and seven – will also all retire as Packers. “Love my team,” wrote Captain McLean. “Cheers boys, (it) was an unreal ride.” The Twitter trend continued with the team’s own account, summing up the year for its retiring players: “Thank you to our graduating players for their leadership and commitment this season.” “The fan support was unreal,” said Coach Bill Griese. “I’m disappointed we couldn’t make it through to the Valley final.” The Stittsville-Renfrew series, featuring the two top regular season finishers in the Valley Division, was scheduled to begin Monday (after press deadline). The winner will play the Metro Divison finalist, either the Ottawa West Golden Knights or Gatineau Mustangs, in the next round.

Local ski racers own the podium as they brave the cold weather Anne Lefebvre

Calabogie Ski Racing’s dedicated athletes have been racking up the personal bests and bringing home the hardware, The U12s kicked off the weekend with a double race on Valentine’s Day at Camp Fortune – Kombi in the morning and Panel Slalom in the afternoon. The U12 boys set a club record by sweeping the podium in the Kombi race with Jeremy Van Grunsven of Odessa flawlessly carving to first place, Wyatt Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew grabbing second, Alex Wroe of Burnstown stepping up to third, and Carson Lefebvre of Calabogie snagging fourth. Wyatt and Carson continued the streak by also taking the silver and bronze in the Panel Slalom. The rest of the team skied extremely well too. Evan Sharma of Kingston was comfortably inside the top-10 in the Kombi with a ninth place. Noah Matthews of Calabogie skied to 12th in this race. Thys Blok of White Lake was 17th. Jack Carnahan of Kanata and Aidan Maclean of Manotick continue to improve steadily with each race. Meanwhile, the girls also finished every run with style. Bailey Stonham of Arnprior attained 20th place in the Kombi, and Carly Alexander of Carp was less than a second away, landing in 23rd. Tori Cotter of Ottawa and Kate Keuninckx of Perth also stayed tight with 44th and 47th in the Kombi and 46th and 47th in the PSL. The next day dawned bright and bitterly cold, as Calabogie Peaks played host to the U10 GS race. These little racers

braved the coldest wind chills of the season as they sped down the course. Calabogie’s competitors were not deterred. Louise Stonham of Arnprior and Thomas Carnahan of Kanata continued on the path to gold, with both of them skiing to first place, seconds ahead of the others. Nicole Duff of Pembroke joined Louise on the girls’ podium with a fifth place, and Philip Lungu of Ottawa represented the boys as well with his fourth-place finish. And Riley Cotter of Ottawa grabbed another top-20 finish – speeding into 17th! The U16 racers also raced on this freezing day, but the cold didn’t slow them down either. Their event was a GS at Edelweiss. Lauren Campbell-Brunkeof Renfrew took top honours for the girls with a seventh-place finish. Grace Gaffney of Deep River and Jenna Wissing of Kanata rounded out the top-20 with 17th and 20th. Emma Schreider of Kingston, Eve Yantha of Combermere and Jessica Earle of Greely were close in 22nd, 24th and 28th. Alex Duff of Pembroke was a podium finisher, snagging a bronze medal, while Sam Duff of Pembroke raced to seventh and Jake Yantha of Combermere was hot on his heels in ninth. Nick Caves and Tarik Hamrouni, both of Barrhaven, finished 13th and 15th. Jack Hamilton of Ottawa carved to 25th, Connor Maclean of Manotick earned 30th, Liam Maclean of Manotick was 33rd and Aiden Keuninckx of Perth landed in 40th. Casey Williams of Rankin skied a solid first run but crashed on the second. All age groups are looking ahead to championships and Provincials this month.

The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

DARREN MATTHEWS/SUBMITTED

Bailey Stonham of Arnprior speeds to 20th place in her Kombi race. A Kombi race consists of a mixture of standard turns and gates. Carly Alexander of Carp was less than a second behind Stonham and came 23rd.

British are coming to Arnprior to assist in developing better soccer players

As the number of soccer players in Canada and the U.S. nears 30 million, the number one soccer company in the Canada, Challenger Sports, has been invited to hold one of their highly regarded British soccer camps in the growing soccer community of Arnprior. Challenger Sports is also providing the Arnprior-McNab-Braeside United Soccer Club with a full time soccer trainer. Challenger’s trainer will not only run development practices for players within the club, but he will also be a technical advisor to the volunteer coaches and the soccer board. This great program will really help to assist any parents looking to step in to coaching for the first time in 2015 and will bring an increasing level of expertise to the soccer club, say officials of the local soccer organization.

The two week-long British Soccer Camps will be held June 29 to July 3 and July 13 to 17 at Dochart Park Soccer Fields at 278 Duncan Dr. in McNab-Braeside. The camps will run Monday through Friday and each child will be coached by a member of Challenger’s team of 1,200 British soccer coaches flown to Canada exclusively to work on these programs. Challenger Sports will hold more than 3,700 Soccer camps this summer and will coach over 150,000 players between the ages of 3 and 18. Each camper will receive a free soccer camp T-Shirt, a free soccer ball, a free Giant Soccer Poster and a personalized skills performance evaluation. In addition, any child who signs up online (www.challengersports.com) at least 45 days prior to camp will receive a genuine Brit-

Croziers crush competition to claim Braeside Cup The 38th annual Braeside Cup wrapped up on Feb. 21 with a double overtime thriller eventually won by Crozier Crushers. Under snowy skies but great temperatures for the outdoor event, eight hockey teams battled it out for the mighty Braeside Cup and bragging rights. The tournament started on Feb. 18 with two games and another two were played on Feb. 20. The tournament wrapped up the next day. It was a fast-paced tournament with plenty of action on the outdoor ice surface at the Braeside R.A. Centre. Event organizer Dan Leblanc did the officiating of all games and he was kept busy as the rink was just buzzing with local talented men and women. Upstairs was entertaining too with many local musicians organized by Howie Lebrun. There was The Nicholas Boys (Dan, Wilf and Anthony) followed by Liz Sterling, Neil Perreault, Karl and Linda Dregischain, and Kyle Felhauer. With that great line-up, folks were

well entertained. The bar was manned by the Arnrprior Optimist Club. “Thanks for your help guys.� “This event was a huge success thanks to all our volunteers,� said organizer Dan Leblanc. “Special thanks go out to Howie Lebrun, Paul Leblanc and Brandon Muldoon and, of course, to our players and sponsors.� OVERTIME WIN

The A championship was decided in a double overtime sudden death and when all was said and done, it was the Crozier Crushers victorious as the A-champs over Conners Yawners. The B champs were the team from Danny Mac’s. Team captains were Garnet Meek, Andrew McKay, Connor, Pat Ryan, Mitch Pierce, Rylan Dean, Mitch Crozier and Daniel Brown. The awards went to: Mitch Crozier, top scorer; Evan Bissonnette, top goalie; and Steve Def MVP.

Above, referee Dan Leblanc ensures every player is having a good time at the recent Braeside Cup, a championship trophy for some in the region that falls a close second to Lord Stanley’s mug. Left, Leblanc presents the coveted Braeside Cup to the 2015 champions Crozier’s Crushers. The B side winner was the Danny Mac’s team.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals Services marty.clement@ca.ey.com (613) 598-4894

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

”

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Cecil, little mouse answer a longstanding question for Mary The only thing I could tolerate about the woolsey-gansey was the name. At that time in my young life I was attracted to double names and would dearly loved to have been called by both of mine ... just like Princess Margaret Rose. And so the only redeeming feature of the woolsey-gansey in my estimation was its double name. The woolsey-gansey was a hateful undershirt that all young girls were forced to wear until they were old enough to wear a brassier. And back in the ʻ30s it was a mark of maturity when you graduated from the woolsey-gansey into your first bras. My sister Audrey, after many years of proclaiming she was ready to wear a brassier, finally succeeded in convincing Mother that unless she was allowed the privilege immediately, she would be forced to give up playing ball, or running tag at the

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Northcote school. As far as I was concerned, she was a long way off from needing a brassier. But her argument was convincing enough that on Motherʼs next trip into Renfrew, Audrey became the proud owner of two new 54-cent bras, bought from the corset department of Walkers Stores. And I, unhappily, inherited yet another hateful woolsey-gansey. In the winter time this most hated of all undergarments had short sleeves, which scratched like blue fury. And although it was the least of my concerns because I was so young,

the older girls at the Northcote school vowed it took away any shape they might have. In the summer time the woolseygansey became simply a gansey. It was made of sheer dimity material, but I hated it just as passionately. Marguerite, that hateful classmate of mine at the Northcote School, vowed she never had to wear a woolsey-gansey. She certainly wasnʼt old enough for a brassier, so I couldnʼt imagine what she wore under her blouses and sweaters. For a long time this dilemma caused me to ponder for hours at a time. And I took to looking closely at Marguerite to see if I could glimpse any tell-tale sign that she in fact did have on a woolsey-gansey. The whole issue came to a head one winter day. Marguerite had few friends at the Northcote School. Her uppity attitude did little to endear her to any one of us.

Cecil considered it his personal mission in life to bring to Marguerite as much misery as possible. Ever since the day she told him he was a freak because he could move his ears up and down, Cecil spent much of his time plotting revenge. And Cecil was scared of nothing. He respected Miss Crosby our teacher, but even her severest reprimand made little impact on the young farm boy who stood close to 6 feet at 11 years of age. The day he caused near havoc in the Northcote School was bitterly cold. Miss Crosby had ordered us all into the basement at recess, and we were to be on our best behaviour. That meant little to Cecil. He chased the girls around the posts that held up the floor, and hid behind the wood pile to emerge when the meekest of us were within grabbing distance. I saw him head for the darkest cor-

ner of the basement. He was sneaking around quietly as if he was hiding from someone. He made a pounce behind the woodpile. When he came out his hands were thrust deep in his pocket and he wore that look on his face that told me we were all to be in for a surprise. He walked ever so slowly up behind Marguerite. Then like chain lightening he locked one arm around under her chin and thrust the other down the back of her blouse. In his hand I could see a squawking and very agitated field mouse. It was nothing to see any number of mice seeking shelter in the basement of the Northcote School, which didnʼt make it the most pleasant place to be, even on a cold winterʼs day. Well! What a commotion Cecil caused! See TEACHER page 33

Teacher takes swift action against mice

R0013140730

Continued from page 29

Marguerite made a beeline for the stairs and most of us were right behind her.  Within seconds Miss Crosby assessed the situation, and ripped the blouse from her shoulders. I saw something far more interesting than the mouse that scurried quickly to the nearest hole in the baseboard. There for all to see was a woolsey-gansey exactly like the one I had on that very minute. It probably had come from Eaton’s catalogue just as mine had. Even though Marguerite was still hysterical and Miss Crosby had gone into the basement to seek out the criminal who had done what she called a dastardly act, I walked over to my nemesis and ran my finger around the neck of her undergarment. “Aren’t those woolsey-ganseys the most hateful things?” I asked, my voice dripping like sugar. Marguerite was a long way off from wearing a bra. She would be in a gansey, just like the rest of us young girls at the Northcote School. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?  Go to https://www.smashwords.com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details, or if you would like a hard copy, please contact Mary at wick2@sympatico.ca.

Local Scouts Maritime-bound

Submitted

The 2nd Arnprior Scouting group is heading off to Scotiajamb this summer thanks in large part to a generous donation from an individual.

While there the youth will have the opportunity to go sea kayaking, zip lining, whale watching, sightseeing and many other exciting events. If you would like to donate towards the scouting group or would like more information, find them on Facebook under Arnprior scouting or at www.arnpriorscouting.ca. Registrations are still being accepted and the price has been reduced to less than $100.

Please Help This Young Teen Find a Permanent Family

PAT SIMMONDS/SUBMITTED

Cadets learning to be good citizens

A

n intelligent, funny, athletic, and artistic young teen, Paul is succeeding in class, on the ice, and on the stage, while working to face challenges around loss and instability in his family life. Paul has all the tools he needs to succeed, but needs a family to provide the solid foundation that will allow him to rebuild the trust and sense of security that so many take for granted. Paul needs a family who can keep up with his wit, share in his wonderful stories, and support his extracurricular activities. He's looking for parents who will take the time to explain things to him, and who can keep open channels of communication, while showing flexibility and trust. He needs empathy for his past as well in order to pursue his emotional growth. Paul is in many ways your average young teenager. He loves the outdoors and is very passionate about fishing. He is a voracious reader, loves movies and would like a family who can spend an evening together watching a good flick. Paul has a great passion for stories, which plays out not only in his reading and movie watching, but acting as well. His Greek heritage—of which his is very proud—might explain his love of acting. If you or someone you know might be interested in learning more about Paul's need for a permanent family, please contact Michael McDougall at the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa, at 613-747-7800 ext. 2828 or email him at michael.mcdougall@casott.on.ca.

In honor of Citizenship Day (Feb. 7), the Army Cadets of the Arnprior-based 2360 Squadron helped out at the Ottawa Mission and made many treat bags to hand out to clients there. The Cadets enjoy giving back to the community and those who need a little help. The army cadets then went to the Parliament Buildings and toured the huge library, above, marveling at so many books.

Ichabod was let go out of a live trap in the shelter parking lot in early September. It took us just over two months to be able to gain his trust enough that we were able to handle him to bring him inside. He was very beaten up with several injuries that needed care. After much TLC, he is now healthy and ready to find a loving home. Ichabod is a large male who is approximately 7 years old. He has tested positive for FIV & FeLV, two auto-immune viruses so he will require a home where he will be kept strictly indoors without other cats. He is a quiet, sweet boy that likes attention and loves having his big cheeks rubbed. To help find Ichabod find a loving home, his adoption fee has been waived SUPPLIES

WAINMAN, Sylvia Jean

In memory of a loving Mother, Sister and Friend, who passed on March 5th, 2010. I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart. Greatly missed by family and friends.

GaĂŤtanne “Gayeâ€? Grandmaison May 21st, 1943 - March 3, 2010 Hello Grandma, how are you? Is Heaven treating you well? We sure miss you a lot, although on that we try not to dwell. Time passes day by day and whenever we start to miss your presence, We remember that you wouldn’t want that, and replace our misery with pleasance. Memories of laughter and good times get us through the darkest nights, Our photographs and souvenirs provide us with a little bit of light. We’re growing up and moving forward, just as you’d want for us, And we try to live our lives in a way you’d be proud of, no need for frustration or fuss. It’s been 5 long years since we’ve heard your voice or helpful words of advice, But someday, when it’s our time, we’ll see you again, and wow, will that ever be nice. Although it may not be for awhile, we hope in the meantime, you’re doing good, We miss you very, very much, but we’re living life to the fullest, just as you would. Grandma, we love you lots, and think of you all the time, Whether it’s 5 or 6 or 7 years, you’ll always be on our minds. Love Always, Vanessa, Jack, Alexa, Marcel, Devon, Nathalie and Neil

Newest health craze: the smoothie bowl Ian Harris

Weight management, wellness and nutrition

Smoothie Bowls! They’re a delicious, satisfying, and a nutritious twist on breakfast cereal. Smoothie bowls are great to have for breakfast, lunch or supper, as a pre- or post-workout meal or even for dessert depending on what ingredients you use. First and foremost, what is a smoothie bowl? The short answer is that it’s a way to enjoy a smoothie with a spoon instead of drinking them with a straw. But there’s more to it than just a change in utensil. The smoothie bowl is thicker in consistency and typically uses toppings like homemade granola and muesli to add a bit of crunch. View the smoothie bowl base as the ‘milk’ and the toppings as the cereal. The frozen fruits used in smoothie bowls are great for not only thickening the smoothie but also for adding natural sweetness and creaminess. Frozen bananas in particular are a perfect foundation for a smoothie bowl. The great thing about smoothie bowls is that you are the master of your own yumminess. The combinations you create are limited only by your imagination and whatever happens to be in your fridge and pantry. Every smoothie bowl can be a unique and exciting adventure. No more boring meals. Here’s a list of key components you can refer to when designing your own smoothie bowl: • 1-2 parts greens and other veggies: kale greens, spinach, romaine, celery, cucumber; • one part frozen fruits: bananas, apples, pears, kiwis, pineapple, peaches, mango, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, papaya, lemons, limes, grapefruit, oranges, blood oranges, figs, dates, plums, acai, etc. Tip: When freezing larger fruits, peel the fruit first, slice or chop it, and then store the chunks in a freezer bag for easy use; • one part proteins: plant-based protein powders (brown rice, pea, organic grass-fed whey protein), hemp seeds, chia seeds, nut butters, low fat Greek yogurt etc.; • one part healthy fats: chia seeds, avocados, coconut oil, hemp seeds and any other nuts and seeds you have on hand; • superfoods: bee pollen, maca powder, cocoa nibs, spirulina, chlorella, cinnamon, cayenne, young coconut meat, unsweetened shredded coconut, coconut water, avocados, chia seeds, hemp seeds, matcha tea powder, nut milks, raw gluten-free oats, etc.;

• ice to thicken your smoothie; • liquid: almond or other milks, coconut water, filtered water, etc.; • optional sweetener: if your smoothie base needs a little additional sweetness, try raw honey, cane sugar or coconut palm sugar; • fresh fruit of choice and or granola, muesli, oats, vegan chocolate, etc. to place on top of your smoothie bowl. Remember that the ingredients you add will affect consistency, so you may need to experiment with different combinations and ratios in order to end up with your ideal smoothie bowl. If you prefer your smoothie bowls very thick, add vegan protein powders (which work wonderfully to thicken and add creaminess) and loads of ice in a quality high-speed blender. Healthy fats such as avocado and nut butters are also great ways to increase the creaminess of a smoothie bowl.

He holds many other certifications and specializes in lifestyle and weight management. He can be reached at ww.ianharris.ca.
