John Okum out as Arnprior fire chief SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com
John Okum is no longer chief of the Arnprior Fire Department. After Metroland Media learned the news from a trusted source, Mayor David Reid acknowledged it March 10 but provided few details on the matter. “He is no longer with the town as fire chief,” said Reid, noting the change was effective March 3. Okum joined the department as a volunteer in 1988 and served as acting captain and fire prevention officer before becoming chief in 2010. “We certainly wish him well and thank him for his service,” he said. Deputy chief Rick Desarmia will serve as acting chief for now and the town will go through a selection process to fill the position. Arnprior CAO Michael Wildman said the town’s policy is to not discuss personnel matters and he could only confirm what the mayor had said. “He has a long history with the town and made a lot of contributions and we certainly thank him for his service,” said Wildman. When reached for comment, Okum initially said little. “I can’t really make any statements other than I’m no longer providing services to the town,” he said. He wouldn’t confirm whether he had resigned or been removed from the position. In terms of next steps, he’s not sure what the future holds. “It’s still pretty early, after just shy of 29 years,” he said. “I’ve got no plans yet.” Rock-solid foundation In an email statement, the former chief said he couldn’t be more proud of the team of firefighters, past and present, with whom he worked. “I’ve seen and experienced many changes over the years as the fire service continually evolves, as is Arnpri-
or. Through all the changes, our team built a rock-solid foundation and have developed from that foundation into what I believe is a pretty sound new generation fire department with a complementary mix of experienced veteran firefighters and enthusiastic new firefighters. The challenge has not been easy and the tasks were demanding, but the outcome has been successful,” he wrote. The dedication, efforts and attitude of department members is second to none, he said. “The respect and honour they provided me as their leader and the department over the years is a true testament of teamwork, which assisted in accomplishing such achievements,” he said in the statement. Community support “The community (residents and businesses) has also been overwhelmingly supportive whether through expressions of support, by endorsement and co-operation of fire and life safety programs and/or patronage towards community fundraiser,” he wrote. “As I move on, I carry with me the pride of serving this community for over 28 years. I wish my fellow firefighters continued success and a fire safe community.” Okum, a lifelong Arnprior native, has had an impressive career. An Aug. 15, 2016 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide story outlined how he had achieved four recent certifications. “Through the National Association of Fire Investigators he is a certified fire and explosion investigator. Through the Ontario Municipal Management Institute he is now a certified fire service executive, a certified suppression professional and a certified fire prevention professional. He is also a certified company officer, which is difficult to obtain since only a handful are accepted into the program every year,” said the story. With files from Derek Dunn

Arnprior awards recycling contract to second lowest bidder DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
A garbage contract that caused much handwringing in Renfrew council chambers where dozens of employees of a local company were gathered - their trucks lined up outside - passed with no comment at Arnprior council. Renfrew, Arnprior, McNabBraeside, and Horton are offering a joint contract for garbage pick up services. Arnprior’s staff recommended at the March 14 meeting to not go with the lowest bid to its five-year recycling contract. That bid of almost $220,000 per year was submitted by Canadian Waste Management (CWM). Normally, municipalities with tenders for services go with the lowest bid – provided specifications are met. However, in this case the new director of public works, John Steckly, suggested council accept the next lowest bid, about $277,000, by local company Beaumen Waste Management Systems (BWM). A company’s headquarters are not among the specifications that must be met in a ten-
der. What must be met includes a “satisfactory� or higher safety rating when it comes to its Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration. BWM has it; CWM’s is “conditional.� Another spec failure has to do with subcontracting to processing facilities. CWM did not present the required letter of intent for its supposed subcontractor. BWM has its own processing facilities onsite in Renfrew. Council accepted Steckly’s report without question, along with his recommendation that the solid waste portion of the service go to Topps Environment Solutions for just over $160,000. It was the lowest bid. The issue played out much differently in Renfrew. After more than 30 minutes of incamera discussion to seek a legal opinion, council there cancelled its recycling tender on March 7. There was a motion in the council package to award the tender to CWM for $187,572 as the lowest bidder, compared to BWM’s $279,341. The presence of workers and trucks was meant to send a message.
“We had a strong presence because we are a local company in the community, and obviously tonight it’s about jobs in the local community. It really is, if they move the tenders out that means jobs are out of Renfrew,� said Andrew Shouldice, president of BWM. “It was what I had expected - it’s a very complex process and it was being rushed so I think the council took the right approach and they are going to back up and do their homework. These tenders are very complicated and they are going to take the time they need to get it right.� Shouldice said after the meeting that awarding the tender to another company would result in a minimum of two layoffs and a maximum of five. He noted the 70,000-squarefoot plant on Lisgar Avenue employs 49 people, and processes a million pounds a month. He said it is also good news that they have reinvested $2 million in the plant and currently process material from Nova Scotia to Edmonton and are in negotiations with the City of Toronto. Matthew Dean, president and chief executive officer of
CWM, came to the Renfrew meeting expecting a positive outcome for his company. “(I’m) a little confused right now, we were low bidder, one of the recommendations to council in the letter that was drawn up was we have provided excellent service to (Renfrew) over the last five years (collecting municipal solid waste), so we would have thought being low bidder we would have had the opportunity to be awarded
the contract,� said Dean. At the same meeting Renfrew also approved its solid waste collection contract to Topps Environmental Services Inc. at a 2017 cost of $164,284, which will increase annually by the change in CPI and the term will be five years with the option to extend for two additional one-year terms. -with files from Tiffany Lepack

The police located the suspect and advised him to return and pay for the fuel. On March 12 the store had still not received payment. A 25-year-old Arnprior man was charged with theft under $5,000. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on April 19. Provincial Const. Helen Paterson led the investigation. Sometime between Monday, March 6 and Wednesday March 8 someone broke into the cargo/tool box of a pick-up truck. The pickup truck was parked in the lot of Gibson’s Garage at 65 Main St. in Cobden. Once the thief got into the tool box, two rifles were stolen. Several other pieces of construction equipment and cordless power tools were also taken during the theft. Provincial Const. Mark Yarmel is investigating. Fraud Every year in Canada during the month of March Canadian police services work together to promote public awareness to help prevent all Canadians from becoming victims of fraud. It is the annual Fraud Prevention month-long campaign to prevent thousands of Canadians from falling victim to fraud. Fraud-related crimes take a destructive toll on victims while amassing millions of dollars to further criminal enterprises. Sadly, 95 per cent of fraud victims never report the crime to police. Some basic tips include never giving out personal or financial information at the door, over the phone, by e-mail or through social media, or on to unsecured retail or dating websites. For more facts and figures visit www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/eic/ site/cb-bc.nsf/eng/04201.html.
Home, the minister of health has now agreed to meet with local leaders. “If it’s necessary to have additional meetings, including with myself, in order to reach the accommodation that I think we all share in terms of this redevelop, I’m prepared to do that,” Eric Hoskins said in the legislature at Queen’s Park on March 6. “With regard to the Grove, I have to say that my office has been deeply involved — not just the ministry — both in capital, as well has in the long-term care division, but my office specifically has held two meetings, had a number of phone calls with the president and CEO (Eric Hanna) of the Grove. “We believe we’re working collaboratively. We
want that collaboration to continue.” The comments followed a lengthy exchanged begun by John Yakabuski. The Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MPP explained to his colleagues that Arnprior’s nursing home has half the provincial average of beds, a 30 per cent increase to its wait-list last year, with no firm solution in place. Meanwhile, its licences expire in 2025. “It must redevelop,” Yakabuski said. “Without additional licences, the Grove will close. The situation is becoming critical. The good news is that Arnprior Regional Health has a redevelopment plan to address this chronic shortage. Will the minister agree to take the meeting?”
Hoskins initially spoke of a province-wide upgrade to nursing homes in terms of beds and standards. He then said his office has dealt directly with Hanna. POSTCARD CAMPAIGN HELPED
Yakabuski had well over 1,000 signed ‘Help The Grove Grow’ postcards, which Hoskins said “allow me to understand the level of community support”. No specific date was given for a meeting, let alone when the redevelopment might begin. The Grove’s campaign continues.

Hydro overhaul needed Our hydro bills may be going down this summer, but don’t pop the bubbly just yet. While Ontario residents will see an average 25 per cent reduction on the bottom line, what they won’t see is what it’s going to cost future generations and the current structural inefficiencies and ongoing bad planning that make electricity expensive for us in the first place. Premier Kathleen Wynne announced the savings this month saying it was the fair thing to do. She heard from families struggling with their bills and struggling to understand why rates have skyrocketed. Unfortunately, because the history of hydro and its mismanagement is such a long and complicated one, politicians looking to distract would-be voters benefit from its current complexity. People don’t get it and don’t have the time, the comprehension or the willingness to figure it out. What they do get is how hard it is to pay a huge bill. So Wynne’s Liberals are waving a shiny 25 per cent hydro cut over here, while over there, our expensive hydro system continues to plod along. The lower bills come from refinancing the term of payment the province owes to private power providers — from 20 years to 30. So we’re deferring costs to future generations in order to get some immediate relief. And we’re incurring about $25 billion in extra interest charges over that time. Additional relief will be coming through low-income and rural subsidy programs, but that too comes at a cost of $2.5 billion over the next three years charged to Ontario’s treasury and taxpayers. As tempting as it is to celebrate lower bills, with an election year in 2018, we need to hold all parties to account to do more than float distractions. Ontario generates more power than it knows what to do with and we’re forced to sell it to our neighbours at a discounted rate. Sometimes we have to pay for them to take it. The sale of Hydro One has locked us into guaranteed contracts with private power providers whether we need that power or not. There’s little transparency as to the details of private contracts and that takes accountability right out of the system. We need a comprehensive plan and a system overhaul. Keep that in mind when you’re told to celebrate your June power bill. It’s not nearly enough.
Town should take part in guaranteed income pilot project To the editor:
Over the past month, I have noted two major articles and one editorial that I think are linked and require further attention: Your Jan. 26 story read “Town isn’t asking for basic income program;” on Feb. 23, the headline read “Arnprior second fastest growing community in eastern Ontario;” that week’s editorial then read “The future of our media,” which made the case for community newspapers. In the Jan. 26 article on basic income, Mayor David Reid admitted though neither he nor council had enough information about the Ontario government’s proposed Guar-

anteed Annual Income (GAI) pilot project for lower income citizens, he nevertheless would not be making any application for Arnprior to be one of those rural pilot communities, since (I quote) “The main difficulty is the chance [such a pilot] would detract people from looking for work”, and that “...[the mayor’s] position is that government should be there to provide equal opportunity not equal income.” This being the case, I conclude the mayor and council need to be further enlightened on this GAI matter, something which your newspaper tried to do in that same article by detailing Canadian Senator Hugh Segal’s advocating for Ontario to
implement his innovative recent GAI research. Anyone reading Senator Segal’s discussion paper (readily available online) will appreciate the thoroughness informing the senator’s conclusions, one of which is a GAI program in no way detracts from a person’s willingness to enter the workforce, while at the same time providing a cost effective way to create far more stable and equal opportunities for all worthy Ontarians. Clearly, Senator Segal’s meticulous methodology flies in the face of both of the mayor’s quoted statements. But there is a further remarkable piece of evidence, which Senator Segal refers to in support of his present

This one-of-a-kind pilot project was funded jointly by the then federal Liberal and provincial NDP governments, until funding was revoked by the incoming 1979 Conservatives. It is still decisive 40 years later for two main reasons: 1.

usage, e.g. diminished visits to and by police, mental, emergency and other health services, with increased enrolment in schools and career/job counseling. In other words, persons accessing that five-year GAI program seemed healthier, happier, more employable and more socially included, as well as having a better sustaining source of “non stigmatized” income—i.e. “welfare.” 2. Dauphin at that time was (and still is) a growing and close-knit rural community not too dissimilar to Arnprior in its size, industry, demographics, geography and distance to large urban centres.

Latest Liberal tax grab related to homes To the Editor:
Re: Taxation of Primary Residence - Cheryl Gallant. To date, when you sell your (primary residence) home, the sale has been exempted from tax. Recently in Question Period the federal minister of finance stated that there are “exceptions to the exceptions,” i.e. if you work from
home you could now be considered as an “exemption to the exemption.” This is Prime Minister Trudeau’s latest tax grab and will require submission of details of area from which you conduct your home-based business. Funnily enough, all though this issue was debated in the House for two days in a row, it was not mentioned by the mainstream media ei-
ther for or against. It is vitally important that this tax information be made known to as many homeowners as possible. The community newspaper is a good place to begin even though in many instances it can be strongly biased. Sunny days indeed. For whom? Christina Edgar Renfrew
Data supports GIS program for Arnprior From page 8
This data nicely correlates to your paper’s Feb. 23 article about Arnprior’s upward growth curve, and are significant similarities which again reinforce the need for our mayor to reconsider his position. Finally, your paper’s Feb. 23 editorial states quite correctly that “Indeed, Canada can be viewed as a vast community of communities with common values and ideals.” In that light, it is especially telling that globally, six countries are either presently experimenting with or actually implementing national like-minded GAI programs. Why not in our own progressive and evolving community? Should not Arnprior therefore welcome being a GAItype pilot project, considering the evidence I have briefly outlined about improvements for our citizens such a program might offer, rather than continuing to perpetuate “poverty” myths so often trundled out about marginalized neighbours and citizens, who in fact live down the street, but unfortunately are often forced to dwell on society’s edges, myths which mayor and council have again regrettably perpetuated. We may have much to gain and nothing to lose by such a project! I can only hope the mayor’s position is not reflective of our town’s fine rural values of “neighbours helping neighbours” towards which a sensible GAI program could play a large part, much as our constitutionally-

mandated old age security has done for senior citizens for almost 90 years. We take OAS for granted, why not eventually a Guaranteed Annual Income as well? In conclusion, the town needs to immediately formally apply to the province to implement a GAI pilot here, if it is not too late to do so. Assuredly, I among others would only be too happy to assist in such a venture. David Mitchell Arnprior

Burnstown’s Neat Coffee Shop reopens March 19 with new owners TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
How sweet it is, Neat is back! Burnstown’s Neat Coffee Shop is set to reopen this weekend, with three new co-owners who have been friends since they were kids. They have the energy, focus and determination to make the 19th century schoolhouse a successful concert venue again. The coffee shop, bakery and 94-seat concert venue closed in October 2015 after eight years of bringing in well-known musical acts, after former owner Adam McKinty had some personal financial issues. In early 2015, Arnprior-raised Mark Enright moved into the house behind the Neat and was disappointed when it closed. “The concert hall is second to none, it’s an intimate little venue,” said Enright of watching a number of shows there before it closed. “It’s like artists coming into your living room.” Enright calls the reopening on March 19, set as a ‘soft’ opening, an adventure a year in the making. “We are definitely excited,” said Enright. “It’s definitely a journey. We are all high-tech guys and we didn’t have restaurant experience, but we love music.” The Sunday night show will feature folkrockers Slambovian Circus of Dreams and will include dinner and the show. They are working toward opening the café, bakery and restaurant in April. In the kitchen will be local cook Dawn Smith

I could never do it alone.” In the summer of 2016, Virgin got interested. In September they made their first big move. “Bill and I put an offer on the building, and the bank slapped us silly, we got beat up,” said Enright. They told Wilson what they were up to and he soon got involved.

They closed at the end of January and set an ambitious opening for March 19. They didn’t have to do any major renovations but admit they had to do a ton of cleaning, and brought in equipment. The main concert hall was made of chip board, and they have put down pine floor from Gilles. Their masterpiece, where they will serve local craft beer, is the copper patinaed bar, which they spent over 500 hours working on. Support The trio has been able to lean on friends and family who have more experience in some areas than they do. “We have lots of friends and family in the business, that has definitely helped,” said Enright. “Like any adventure, when your money is on the line it’s a little nerveracking.” But there is one key helping their nerves: the three — Virgin from White Lake, Enright from Arnprior and Wilson from Crystal Beach — are lifelong friends. “It makes it less nerve-racking because of the partners.” Going in, they had a certain idea for the atmosphere and focused their new motto around that. “Our motto is family, friends and fun. Family is more than just your immediate family, its close friends, family is not just my kids, it’s this awesome group of friends,” explained Enright. “Our friends are anyone that comes here to enjoy a cup of coffee or dinner. When you bring family and friends together, you’re going to have a lot of fun.” Embracing the past Enright gives credit where credit is due, and praises what McKinty had done before. “We made sure he would not be offended. We went to him and asked if we could steal his idea,” said Enright. “The second thing we asked, if he could help us get it back to where it was. Adam has been phenomenal with us.” Enright admits he could have never have done it because McKinty’s vision was impressive. “Almost daily he fills my head with information on what he did, and his contacts,” said Enright. “He will pass on all of his knowledge.” It has been a little bittersweet for the former owner. “He’s a little sad to see his baby go, but happy it’s going to be revived,” said Enright. “He said he loved our energy and it felt right, right from the get-go.” McKinty is helping the three get off the ground with the bookings, and will be doing the sound for some of the shows. The Neat Coffee Shop is located at 1715 Calabogie Rd. in Burnstown. For more information follow them on their social media accounts Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The Arnprior Army cadets have been fundraising for a Vimy Ridge visit. Among those going is, front row from left, Warrant Officer (WO) TJ Blaskavitch, Bombardier (Bdr) David Baker, WO Jessica Currie, WO Xianghui Cathcart, Captain Catherine Dufour. In the back is MBdr Isaac Murray, Gunner Abigayle Bruce, WO Grant Parker, WO Benjamin Dagg, CWO Devon Dean, MBdr Henry Feller.
Cadets to discover Canada’s military history in Vimy Cadets from 2360 Army Cadets in Arnprior are participating in commemorative events in France as Canadians mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge on April 9, 2017. The cadets will be attending the ceremony and touring the battle fields of Europe providing our youth with an unparalleled opportunity to learn more about Canada’s military history. The trip is being done with EF Tours an educational tour provider www.eftours. ca. Vimy Ridge is located in northern France, about 175
kilometres north of Paris. Cadets will have the opportunity to walk the paths taken by our soldiers and provide an important reminder of the risks of war as well as the sacrifices made to help ensure the peace and freedom we enjoy today. Throughout the trip, cadets will learn about the acts of courage of men and women who served our country and will be encouraged to reflect on their own lives and experiences. Working together to make this trip happen over the last three years, the cadets and staff have held fundraising initiatives such
as 50/50 ticket sales with the Ottawa Senators Foundation, the Annual Christmas Bazaar, the Cadet Coffee Program fundraiser and the upcoming Fish Fry on March 18 at the Legion tickets are still available and a 3k, 5k and 10k treadmill a-thon with the Kenwood Athletic Centre on March 26. These are just a few of the fundraisers done to support this activity. The cadet program teaches youth
between 12-18 years old about the importance of making valuable contributions to their communities and becoming active, responsible citizens. Cadets often volunteer at senior centres, supporting local branches of the Royal Canadian Legion with the Poppy Campaign, participating in various parades and fairs. These values help build the leaders of tomorrow.

This beautiful cat is Sydney!
B.A.,B.Ed.,M.Div.
Sydney is an affectionate girl that is approx. 2-3 years old, she has an outgoing personality and is friendly and affectionate. She is very playful and would love to find a home with another cat, Sydney’s rough and tumble play style would be best suited in an adult home. Sydney was brought to the shelter with a broken leg, after having surgery and lots of TLC, you would never know that she had an injury. Do you have room in your home for this sweet girl?

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, March 16, 2017 11
Message from Queen’s Park
Monthly Column by MPP John Yakabuski
Monthly Column – March 2017 After feeling the pressure for months, if not years, Kathleen Wynne and the Liberal Government finally had to admit that their so-called Green Energy Act has amounted to a monumental financial disaster for Ontario ratepayers. Without admitting it, the Premier has proven that the Auditor General was right when she stated that Ontario electricity customers have paid $9.2 billion more for electricity than needed. (And that report only covered up until 2016.) With an election scheduled for June 2018, Kathleen Wynne knew she had to take significant steps to reduce people’s hydro bills across the province. On the surface, a 25 percent reduction on one’s bill is going to look pretty good. But as they say, the devil is always in the details. We have been calling for fundamental changes in energy policy for years because the only way to stop the prices from skyrocketing is to stop doing things the way they have been doing them. In that regard, the Liberals have made no change whatsoever. The reduction is basically a remortgaging of a bad deal; it is essentially overpaying for a house, not being able to make the payments, and going to the bank to re-negotiate the length of the mortgage. All of the energy contracts that were in place before the reduction will still be in place. In fact, they are continuing to sign new ones even as you read this. This will only result in continued upward pressure on rates. The Liberals are hoping that the 25 percent cut will result in a grateful response from the electorate. I, for one, am very happy to see this cut because relief was badly needed. But there is something people shouldn’t forget: while Kathleen Wynne is going to legislate a further 17 percent reduction (on top of the eight percent off from the HST rebate) it is the decisions of this Liberal Government that caused the rates to go up in the first place. Of all the money you have overpaid during the last several years for electricity, not one penny will be coming back. Even though the Liberals are to blame, the ratepayer still pays the bill. If I am to draw an analogy, it’s as if several years ago the Liberal Government took your car, and is now coming back baring a gift of a bicycle and expecting you to be grateful. Some of the costs being removed from electricity bills will be placed on the tax bill. Here is a breakdown of costs added to your tax bill: $1.0 billion per year to finance the removal of the provincial portion of the HST; $833 million per year to pay for a new suite of rebate programs. And added to the energy bill: $25 billion in total interest over 30 years to re-finance the debt. Some things that could have been done, which the government chose not to do, that would have at least given an indication they were prepared to stop repeating the same mistakes are: to stop signing contracts for energy that we don’t need (at above-market prices); stop selling electricity at a massive loss to neighbouring jurisdictions; stop allowing water to pass over our hydroelectric dams without generating electricity while we pay excessive prices to developers of wind; and stop the further sale of shares of Hydro One. As I wrote earlier, with an election expected next June, I suspect that there will be additional attempts by this government to play more shell games and continue their sleight-of-hand tactics in order to try and dupe the people. I know the people are smarter than that.
12 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, March 16, 2017
Travelling thousands of years in an afternoon The Arnprior and McNab/Braeside Archives (AMBA) annual general meeting on Feb. 11 explored many eras in one afternoon at the Arnprior Public Library meeting room. This time travel was thanks to guest speaker Randy Boswell, the Moir family and AMBA summer student Ella Hartwick, consulting archivist Laurie Dougherty, and members of the archives board. Boswell, a Carleton University journalism professor and history researcher and writer, presented fascinating tales involving sleuthing using digitized 19th century newspapers. Through such research, he was recently able to pinpoint the exact site of a major indigenous burial ground, first ‘discovered’ in the mid-1800’s by builders a ‘half mile down river of the Chaudière Falls’, but not properly documented at that time. This heritage site, which memorializes cultures going back 5,000 years, was found to be on the property of the Museum of History, in close proximity to the location of important social, spiritual, political and economic First Nations interactions over hundreds of generations.
A key player in the story of this 19th century discovery was Dr. Edward Van Cortlandt, a 19th century health inspector, conservationist, and antiquarian, and brother-in-law to Arnprior founder Daniel McLachlin. Attendees also revisited 20th century newspapers when they witnessed the presentation of a beautiful spiral bound copy of a Second World War scrapbook, believed to be the work of the Moir family, to Royal Canadian Legion Branch 174 representatives Mel Porter and Yvon Ouellet. Hartwick, an Archives summer student who indexed the scrapbook containing hundreds of clippings about area people serving in Second World War, was thanked for her excellent work in making this important local, historical document accessible to the community. Three centuries, the 19th, 20th, and 21st, are spanned in a current project being undertaken by Laurie Dougherty, consulting Archivist, and volunteer Dianne Brearley. “150 Years of Living Off the Land” celebrates the history of McNab Township. In her annual report, Dougherty

Ella Hartwick presents Second World War Scrapbook and Index to Legion representatives Mel Porter and Yvon Ouellet at Arnprior and McNab/Braeside Archives annual general meeting. was pleased to announce the receipt of funding for this project through the Ontario 150 Community Celebration Program. Oral history, a virtual exhibit, and a McNab/Braeside market festival planned for Canada Day 2017 are included in the project. It explores the challenges faced by early settlers and showcases local producers who continue to bring varied products to market today, such as maple syrup, honey, vegetables, and cattle. Dougherty also highlighted the Archives critical need to digitize its extensive newspaper holdings and other collections. Finally, looking to pres-
ent and future needs, Board President Julie Hartwick announced an AMBA fundraising campaign to enhance the efficient use of its space downstairs in the library. To do so, the Archives plans to seek funding to purchase mobile shelving. Such equipment would increase the archival holdings space, currently close to capacity, by approximately 65 percent. All are invited to visit the Arnprior and McNab/Braeside Archives in person on weekday afternoons, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., and on the third Saturday of each month, 10 to noon, or virtually at www.adarchives.org.

Family history group changes name with next meeting March 27 What’s in a name? Plenty if you are interested in family history! For the past three years, a community group named Patrick’s Family History Group has gathered once a month to hear experts speak about various topics including tips on using ancestry and family search websites to the latest trends using DNA in genealogy. During that time a core group of members have shared information and attempted to help each other with ideas to breach those stubborn “brick walls.” However, it seems that the name of the group itself was deterring people from joining because they thought it was meant to serve those with the surname Patrick. For this reason, at the January meeting of the group, past chair Liz Campbell surveyed the membership and it was decided to change the name of the group to the Arnprior Family History Group. By doing so, it is hoped that people will realize that the group is based out of Arnprior but serves anyone conducting family history research, anywhere in the world. The Arnprior Family History Group plans to hold

In the third challenge of six, the Arnprior Knights of Columbus came real close to winning the challenge but alas they came up short by three games. They could almost feel it! So close and yet so far. On their departure some Knights were heard to be muttering ‘What’s it going to take to beat these people?’ The legion now leads by 15 games with three challenges remaining. The top team for the third challenge was Gayle and Ken Young with eight wins and nine points. The Knights continue to excel in the skunks with Michelle Leavoy\ Robbie Sonnenburg getting two in this challenge, which brings their total to three! Other Knights to fall were Zak Butterly and Troy Heins. The legion teams getting skunked included Nicole\Trevor Johnston and Mary Jane Laroque\Colleen Blimkie. Update In the fourth challenge the Knights came to play, winning the night by 14 games. The legion now leads by one game. High team for the night was Jackie Connell/ Norma Dewar with eight wins, four points. Skunks continue to make an appearance with Laurie Veno/Wayne Mossman; Dave Schefter/Mike Glofcheski; and Dan/Monique

Because they poop out seeds (in 20 minutes or less after swallowing a small fruit) they play important roles as seed dispersers. They seldom appear alone and travel in flocks that can contain a hundred or more individuals.

Jane’s Story
Police responded to a 911 call from a remote rural area. It took approximately 45 minutes to arrive at the location of the call. The telephone was located outside on a telephone pole at the end of a very long laneway in a wooded acreage. A man was standing at the location of the phone and when questioned by police he indicated that he had been threatened by his girlfriend who had been drinking heavily, but that he now believed she would not cause him any harm and he apologized for the call. When police persisted in their request to speak with the woman, the man indicated he did not know where she was at the moment. Police followed the laneway to a remote cabin and discovered the woman badly beaten. It took her some time to escape to use the phone as she waited until he was intoxicated and sleeping. However he awoke and discovered her at the telephone. At the point of discovery she was unwilling to provide any statement to police. Police however were able to take her to the hospital and then to a shelter.
L’Histoire de Jane
La police répond à un appel 911 d’une région rurale éloignée. Il leur prendra environ 45 minutes afin de se rendre à l’endroit de l’appel. Le téléphone se trouve dehors, accroché à un poteau de téléphone, au bout d’un long chemin dans un boisé. Un homme est tout près de cet endroit. Il s’excuse de son appel et indique aux policiers qu’ils a reçu des menaces de sa conjointe fortement intoxiquée mais qu’à ce moment-ci il ne pense plus qu’elle représente un danger. Quand les policiers insistent pour parler à la dame, l’homme répond ne pas savoir où elle se trouve. Les policiers suivent le chemin et retrouvent la dame sévèrement battue dans une cabine. Il lui a pris du temps pour s’échapper et utiliser le téléphone puisqu’elle attendait que son conjoint soit intoxiqué et endormi. Cependant, il s’est réveillé et a découvert qu’elle avait fait un appel. À ce moment-ci, la dame ne veut pas donner de déclaration à la police. Les policiers l’ont amené à l’hôpital et ensuite à une maison d’hébergement.
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: A SERIES ON INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE IN RENFREW COUNTY - 2 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.
DISPELLING THE MYTHS
MYTH: Domestic violence is usually an isolated incident. FACT: Violence is a pattern of behaviour that exists in some relationships and gets worse and more frequent over time. MYTH: The problem is not really violence against “women.” Women are just as violent as men. FACT: In about 90% of domestic assaults, the man is the perpetrator. This may be uncomfortable but it is true.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE IN RURAL AREAS? • Community and extended family ties that deny the truth of violence against women … “you have made your bed….”. • Lack of privacy = everyone knows everyone’s business = very hard to trust anyone to talk about what’s really happening. • Traditional gender roles can “normalize” abuse. Abusers are not held accountable for their behaviour. • No public transportation = cannot physically get away or reach out for confidential support. • Low employment = hard to leave abusive relationship because of poverty. • Women in farming lose income and cannot leave animals behind. • Lack of affordable childcare. • Abusers often have access to weapons & firearms that are used as threats. • Isolation because of long distances to get help.

Traps for Women - Why Women Stay? Canadian Women’s Foundation studies shows 67 per cent of us know a woman who has been abused. Intimate partner violence is an epidemic in our country because it is rarely as easy as “just leaving.” You may have heard that it’s complicated and that the valid reasons why women stay could be listed on hundreds of pages. That couldn’t be more true. We need to begin to understand, support and believe victims -- not blame them.
So why doesn’t she just leave?
• She may stay because she fears for her life or the life of her children because he’s threatened what he might do if she dares try to leave. • She may stay because she believes she has nowhere to go. She might not know how the community can support her or the local shelter might be full. • She may stay because everyone thinks her abuser is a “good guy” and she feels ashamed and embarrassed and is sure she’ll be judged and not believed if she speaks out about the abuse. • She may stay because she’s willing to sacrifice her own safety for the well-being of her children so they won’t have to grow up in poverty or without a father. • She may stay because her family, friends or community have told her they won’t support her and that they believe divorce is never a viable option.
• She may stay because of her immigration status or because her first language isn’t English to be able to reach out for help. • She may stay because she has a disability and is dependent on him for daily care. • She may stay because she grew up in a family where abuse was normal, making it hard to recognize when a relationship is unhealthy • She may stay because she loves him and he seems to regret the violence. She may want to try to make the relationship work and help him to change. • She may stay because she blames herself. She’s been told it’s her fault and that she deserves to be abused. It’s time to stop the victim-blaming. Instead of asking why she doesn’t just leave, we should be asking different questions when we read those headlines. We should be asking, “Why is he abusive?” or “How can we break the cycle of violence?” or “How can I support her to be safe?” We also need to ask ourselves why these questions seem so scary. I believe it’s because they - finally - upset the status quo, and shine the light on the real problem. There are good reasons why women stay. But there is no reason we can’t work together to stop the violence, for good.

What are the main steps in the Domestic Violence Court process? 1. When police arrive at the scene of a problem between intimate partners, they must look at the situation and decide whether an assault probably happened, and who was the main aggressor, or attacker. If you talk to police, it is important to tell the truth.

How to help a friend who is being abused
2. In Ontario, if the police believe there is evidence that a person has assaulted their current or former intimate partner, police must lay a criminal charge, even if the person who was assaulted does not want them to. This is called a Mandatory Charging Policy. If the police believe that a woman has assaulted her partner, she may be charged. Sometimes, if it is not clear to the police who the main aggressor was, both partners may be charged. This is called dual charging. 3. If your abuser is arrested and charged, police may release the accused with conditions, or keep the accused in jail until a Bail hearing. At the Bail hearing, the Court will decide if the accused should be held in jail or allowed out into the community on bail, until the trial ends. Bail is the temporary release of the accused before trial. If the abuser is released into the community, there will be certain conditions they must follow. If the conditions of bail are not followed, the abuser may be re-arrested and ordered to stay in jail until trial. 4. After the abuser is charged, the Victim Witness Assistance Program V/WAP should contact you with referrals to community agencies for support. They also help prepare you for Court and work with Court Services to arrange for interpreters or other accommodation, if needed.

Here are some ways to help a friend who is being abused:
DISPELLING THE MYTHS
• Set up a time to talk. Try to make sure you have privacy and won’t be distracted or interrupted.
MYTH: Boys and men are to blame for violence against girls. FACT: Individual men and boys should never be blamed for actions they have not committed. Men and boys can make great champions of ending violence against girls and women.
• Let your friend know you’re concerned about her safety. Be honest. Tell her about times when you were worried about her. Help her see that what she’s going through is not right. Let her know you want to help. • Be supportive. Listen to your friend. Keep in mind that it may be very hard for her to talk about the abuse.
Vous n’êtes pas seule... de l’aide en français est disponible Si vous êtes en danger immédiat, appelez le 911.
• Tell her that she is not alone, and that people want to help. • Offer specific help. You might say you are willing to just listen, to help her with childcare, or to provide transportation, for example.
Si vous n’êtes pas en danger immédiat, mais que vous avez besoin d’aide, il existe des ressources dans votre collectivité. MISE EN GARDE: C’est au moment où la relation de couple prend fin que le risque de violence mortelle est le plus élevé pour les femmes victimes de violence conjugale. Si vous êtes en danger immédiat, appelez la police. Pour obtenir de l’aide ou établir un plan de sécurité, communiquez (en Ontario) avec: La ligne francophone de soutien Fem’aide au 1-877-336-2433 ATS:1-866-860-7082. * Une intervenante francophone est disponible dans le Comté de Renfrew pour accompagner les femmes dans le besoin, elle peut être rejointe au 613-585-3414. • RESSOURCES UTILES partout en Ontario : www.undroitdefamille.ca Ligne de soutien pour femmes touchées par la violence: Fem’aide www.femaide.ca • 1 877 336-2433 • ATS: 1 866 860-7082 Jeunesse, J’écoute www.jeunessejecoute.ca • 1 800 668-6868
• Don’t place shame, blame, or guilt on your friend. Don’t say, « You just need to leave », Instead, say something like, « I get scared thinking about what might happen to you » ; Tell her you understand that hersituation is very difficult. • Help her make a safety plan. Safety planning includes picking a place to go and packing important items. • Encourage your friend to talk to someone who can help. Offer to help her find local resources. Offer to go with her to the resources, the police, or court.

THINGS MEN CAN DO
TO PREVENT
GENDER VIOLENCE gender violence as a MEN’S issue involving 1 Approach men of all ages and socioeconomic, racial and ethnic backgrounds. View men not only as perpetrators or possible offenders, but as empowered bystanders who can confront abusive peers. If a brother, friend, classmate, or teammate is abusing his female partner -- or is disrespectful or abusive to girls and women in general -- don’t look the other way. If you feel comfortable doing so, try to talk to him about it. Urge him to seek help. Or if you don’t know what to do, consult a friend, a parent, a professor, or a counselor. DON’T REMAIN SILENT.
2
Have the courage to look inward. Question your own attitudes. Don’t be defensive when something you do or say ends up hurting someone else. Try hard to understand how your own attitudes and actions might inadvertently perpetuate sexism and violence, and work toward changing them.
3
If you suspect that a woman close to you is being abused or has been sexually assaulted, gently ask if you can help.
4
If you are emotionally, psychologically, physically, or sexually abusive to women, or have been in the past, seek professional help NOW.
5
Be an ally to women who are working to end all forms of gender violence. Support the work of campus-based women’s centers. Attend “Take Back the Night” rallies and other public events. Raise money for community-based rape crisis centers and battered women’s shelters. If you belong to a team or fraternity, or another student group, organize a fundraiser.
6
Recognize and speak out against homophobia and gay-bashing. Discrimination and violence against lesbians and gays are wrong in and of themselves. This abuse also has direct links to sexism (e.g. the sexual orientation of men who speak out against sexism is often questioned, a conscious or unconscious strategy intended to silence them. This is a key reason few men do speak out).
7
programs, take courses, watch films, and read 8 Attend articles and books about multicultural masculinities, gender inequality, and the root causes of gender violence. Educate yourself and others about how larger social forces affect the conflicts between individual men and women. Don’t fund sexism. Refuse to purchase any magazine, rent any video, subscribe to any Web site, or buy any music that portrays girls or women in a sexually degrading or abusive manner. Protest sexism in the media.
9
Mentor and teach young boys about how to be men in ways that don’t involve degrading or abusing girls and women. Volunteer to work with gender violence prevention programs, including antisexist men’s programs. Lead by example.

• If your friend decides to stay, continue to be supportive. Your friend may decide to stay in the relationship, or she may leave and then go back many times. It may be hard for you to understand, but people stay in abusive relationships for many reasons. Be supportive, no matter what your friend decides to do. • Encourage your friend to do things outside of the relationship. It's important for her to see friends and family. • If your friend decides to leave, continue to offer support. Even though the relationship was abusive, she may feel sad and lonely once it is over. She also may need help getting services from agencies or community groups. • Keep in mind that you can’t « rescue » your friend. She has to be the one to decide it’s time to get help. • Support her no matter what her decision. • Let your friend know that you will always be there no matter what Source : https://www.womenshealth.gov/violence-against- women 18 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, March 16, 2017

Great season on the slopes for Arnprior District High School The Arnprior District High School (ADHS) ski and snowboard team had a fantastic 2017 season. After the UOVSHAA and EOSSAA race days in February at Calabogie Peaks, 13 athletes qualified for the Ontario (OFSAA) championships in Collingwood February 26-March 3rd. Despite some injuries to girls ski team members Marley Blok and Johanna Enright, the girls ski team of Kaileigh Wright, Cassie King, Makenna Whetung, Katie Carry and Hannah Doyle represented ADHS at the OFSAA championships. Racing in challenging conditions
including rain, deep slush, and berms, the girls competed in four races (two slalom, two giant slalom) over the course of two days. Despite some mistakes mixed in with clean runs, the girls walked away with eighth place ribbons for both the slalom and giant slalom events. This is the first ADHS team to have ever placed on both racing days at OFSAA, a significant achievement for the skiers in a tough division of 84 racers. On the snowboard side, the undefeated girls snowboard team of Kaitlynn Edge, Miranda Robinson, Brye

Enright, Callie Mosseau, and Zoe Van Sickle competed at OFSAA at Beaver Valley Ski Club. The girls raced two solid giant slalom races on two different courses. BIG DIVISION
There were 17 teams and 110 girls competing in their division. After the results were tabulated combining the times of both runs, the team walked away as OFSAA bronze medallists! Kaitlynn Edge won an additional bronze medal as the third fastest overall individual racer at the championships. This is only the second ADHS
team to ever medal at OFSAA. Connor Ogilvie raced his snowboard competing as an individual in his first OFSAA. In a challenging division with 160 other racers, Connor finished a respectable 59th. Also at his first OFSAA, Ben Ross competed in the Open Division for club racers, Ben placed seventh out of 22 racers in his giant slalom race. Unfortunately veteran racer Grace Philp was not able to attend OFSAA after fracturing her ankle racing the weekend before the competition. The second day of racing at OFSAA snowboarding is the snowboard-
cross (SBX) event where all ADHS racers competed. Competing as a team, EOSSAA All Star team composed of Arnprior’s Ben Ross, Renfrew’s Reid Hall, Deep River’s Ethan Taylor, and Perth’s Oliver Bell finished second overall after two timed runs. Experienced SBX club racer Ben Ross finished third overall as an individual with the course’s third fastest combined time. Congratulations to all racers for a great season. Coach Krista PetrieWallace would like to thank Dave King and Kate McKenna for coaching this season.

Jack Charlebois, left, and Stan Bernard both turned 75 recently. And they still hit the ice at least once a week for oldtimers hockey at Nick Smith Centre. Charlebois is a goal-scorer with a deadly accurate snapshot and a glare that scares most opponents back to their bench. Bernard is a fierce competitor who never gives up on the puck, coaches his defence non-stop and, when he makes a big save, can be heard at the far end of the ice laughing uncontrollably. The two still have plenty to teach teammates in their 40s and 50s, particularly about staying young by having fun.

It’s what playoff hockey is all about. It’s often a magical time when anything can happen. And fans of the Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey League and the Arnprior Packers have had a wild week. After game one and two against the Richmond Royals the Packers were up 2-0 but after a close game three and a blow out in game four the series is now tied 2-2. The next game is Wednesday, March 15 in Arnprior at 8 p.m., game six is set for March 17 in Richmond at 7:30 and if needed game seven is in Arnprior on March 18. “We played pretty well in the first two games,” said Tony Iob, Packers head coach. “We even came back and showed some good character.” In game one on March 5 the Packers easily won 5-2 and on March 8 the Packers took the commanding series lead, winning 3-2. But things changed in game three as they loss 5-4 on March 10. “We came back but we hit a bunch of posts, we just had no luck,” said Iob. The Packers came out strong on Friday. “We scored the first two goals and it
was going well,” said Iob. “They scored three goals and it knocked us down, it was just too much at the end.” Anthony Salahor started in net for the Packers, after three quick goals in the first period and an injury he was replaced by Tom Meyerhans. “Salahor never told us he was injured,” said Iob. “Tom came in for the second period.” Things fell apart for the Packers on March 12 as they couldn’t even get on the scoreboard losing 4-0. “Nothing was working for us, the bottom line was they outworked us,” said Iob. Meyerhans made 37 saves in Sunday’s game. “He played well and stopped a lot of shots. It came down to we were not getting enough shots (only 29),” said Iob. Iob knows what the team has to do to win the series. “We got to play a 60 minute game and stay out of the penalty box,” said Iob. On Friday they had 22 minutes in the sin bin and on Sunday 38 minutes. “We have to cut their shots down and stick to the game plan,” said Iob. “Don’t let the refs bug us, it’s been pretty terrible but we can’t do anything about those guys.”

Tim Hortons owner climbs chilly Kilimanjaro, craves hot coffee Arnprior, Kanata stores raise $35,000 for disadvantaged youths DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
By the time Chris McCluskey had camped the night on the side of Mount Kilimanjaro, hiked nine hours, reached the top, breathed in the view, and began the long descent: he was ready for a treat. “A hot coffee and Boston cream,� said the owner of Tim Hortons in Arnprior and Kanata, laughingly. “It was awesome. We were with a great group of people. But it wasn’t easy. A few couldn’t make all the way up the hill. It was tough.� It is often said that people climb Mount Everest (8,848 metres above sea level) because it is there; others, meaning Tim Hortons people, climb Kilimanjaro (5,895 metres) because it will benefit disadvantaged kids. The company has raised $627,000 for Tim Horton Children’s Camps across Canada and one location in the United States. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, is famous for its white peaks.
