Storeowner takes to social media to solve break-in John Carter
John.carter@metroland.com
.CA
Mike LeBlanc says that most times he has gone to retrieve mail from his box on the wall this winter, just inside the main door, evidence of vandalism is everywhere.
An Arnprior businessman, sick and tired of being victimized, has offered an online reward for help in catching two thieves who broke into store last month. Dale Rancourt of B&B Buy Back is using social media in an effort to nab the thieves and deter others who might target his downtown Arnprior store. He has posted video on Facebook from his surveillance camera of two young men smashing his front window and entering his store in the early morning of Sunday, March 1. He is also offering a $1,000 reward for information that could help solve the case. He has also appealed to the OPP and local media to circulate the video and photographs of the two suspects. While the two were wearing ski masks and gloves making it difficult to identify them, Renfrew-Arnprior OPP did circulate the photographs internally to other police detachments, noted Renfrew OPP Community Services Officer Janice Sawbridge. The photographs weren’t released earlier because officers didn’t want to compromise the investigation, she added.

Teenager takes on long battle with quarry expansion proposal Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
Traleena Rouleau is 18 years old. She has been fighting the Miller Paving’s Braeside Quarry expansion and asphalt plant proposal for nearly half her life – a battle of nearly nine years. “I first gave a presentation to council about a possible alvar conservation plan,” said Rouleau. She was only 10 at the time. “Along the way I have been involved with protests, community fundraisers to get the public’s awareness and interest of this issue. It’s been a life-long journey.” An alvar is considered a rarity. It is basically a rock structure, weathered stone and unique wildlife like the silvery blue butterflies that had been found there. The FACT-MB (Friends Addressing Concerns Together in McNab-Braeside) group argues that if the quarry expansion is allowed to include the whole Miller’s site, it will damage the alvar, wildlife and habitat. Even the Nature Conservancy of Canada website said: “Ontarians have a responsibility to conserve these globally significant habitats and their specialized species communities.” Rouleau pointed out, “I think this meant so much to me because it was really a chance for me to see how important it is to fight for rights, even at a young age. I could see how lives living nearby were being affected by it.” Miller’s had been found liable for the adverse effects caused by a temporary asphalt plant – sore throats, migraines, nausea, shortness of breath, lack of sleep, burning eyes were deemed as some of the issues. The company is appealing to the Ontario Municipal Board to be allowed to locate a permanent asphalt plant in the quarry, while neighbours counter that it would still adversely affect the enjoyment of their property and their health. “I got to see first-hand the involvement of the community,” said Rouleau.
“That was a powerful thing to see at such a young age: how people can work together and get together for such a good cause,” she added, noting that she is impressed at how influential and important for a community a group like FACT-MB can be. In Rouleau’s third year at Arnprior District High School, she decided to involve the school. “We had information tables outside the cafeteria at lunch for week with petitions and informative presentations like in science and law classes, (subjects) that are impacted by their decision and associated with this kind of content. “We went door-to-door in Braeside to get signatures and got about 500.” The Rouleau home is located about a kilometre from the quarry site. The family has no issue with the business the quarry itself does, but is opposed with what would come in the expansion such as the asphalt and concrete plants. Rouleau had also taken the fight to a more global scene – the Internet. Crowd-sourcing is gaining ground as a way to raise money for causes. She set up on indiegogo and 17 people have donated up to $2,225, over the course of two months. “We are using the money to pay the experts in order go to the OMB and have the appropriate people that have a good understanding of the issues surrounding this kind of proposal,” she explained. “We have to make sure we have state-of-the-art expert witnesses and experts … (to) let the board know what they are dealing with in terms of the appeal.” With the four-week OMB hearing finished, Rouleau is keeping a positive attitude. “I think we have a pretty good team behind us and pretty happy with how things are turning out.” Rouleau is now enrolled in university, taking a major in psychology and minor in law and neuroscience.

On March 25, he served notice of motion that would have council “eliminate any discrimination in the county council workplace based on creed by replacing the current denominational prayer with a moment of silent reflection.” The motion says the “suggestion that those county council members whose creed do not believe in God conduct themselves differently than others at county council meetings is discrimination based on religious choice.” The motion notes that discrimination in the workplace based on creed is forbidden under current legislation. Gibson explained that county councillors could take the moment of silent reflection to contemplate how they could collectively use their skills and experience to ensure benefits to the county, their constituents and themselves.

Head, Clara and Maria Mayor Jim Gibson is not giving up in his attempt to end the practice of reciting a prayer before Renfrew County council meetings. Gibson presented a notice of motion at March’s council meeting resolving that the prayer be replaced by a minute of reflective silence. The motion will be voted on at the April 29 County council meeting if it gets a seconder. Gibson, elected last year, first asked that county’s finance and administration committee, chaired by Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, make the request. However, the committee declined to support the change. Gibson, a self-declared atheist, argues the county council chamber is a work place so reciting the prayer there is discrimination to non-believers.

Arnprior council has approved another Community Improvement Program (CIP) grant for the downtown. Another new store is going in at 128 John St. North and its owners submitted a CIP application. The building will be getting an upgrade of the exterior. This is the first time a previously existing clothing store has moved into the downtown area. It is called Dash of Fab which already does business in Renfrew. It will fill the gap by providing women’s clothing for sale in the downtown, council was told.

Another new store is opening up in downtown Arnprior. In a news release last week, the Town of Arnprior announced that A Dash of Fab , named Renfrew’s 2014 Best New Business winner, will be opening their second store in Arnprior this spring. Store owner Kaelea Runtz has received a $2,486 grant through the Town’s Community Improvement Program (CIP) to assist with taking the building’s façade at 128 John St. from “drab to fab.” Town staff have been working with Runtz for the past few months in assisting her to find “the perfect location” and apply for the CIP funding, which played a positive role in her decision to open her second store in Arnprior. A Dash of Fab offers ‘Boho Chic’ styles for women. Runtz strives to provide her customers with a sense of having their own personal stylist in the comfort of “a relaxed, exciting atmosphere.” She wants to ensure when you walk into A Dash of Fab it’s more than just shopping, it’s a shopping experience,” says the release. “There is always exciting things in the works at A Dash of Fab. Keep up to date with the latest and fab(ulous) fashion trends from designers in Canada, L.A., the U.K., Denmark, Spain and more by following their Facebook page https:// www.facebook.com/ADashofFab.” The Shoe Lounge will be located within A Dash of Fab Renfrew.

Fire damages home at McNab-Braeside horse farm John Carter
John.carter@metroland.com
The cause of fire in a farmhouse in McNab-Braeside March 31 has still yet to be nailed down. “We’ve got a couple of ideas … but it’s still under investigation,” said McNab-Braeside fire chief Dave Hartwick. Arson has been ruled out as it’s obvious the fire was accidental, he added. Firefighters do know the fire started in the bathroom area on the main floor he said. No one was hurt in the fire at 1226 McLean Dr., but there was plenty of smoke and some water damage. The preliminary damage estimates are about $90,000 to the house and $50,000 to the contents. But those are very rough figures, said Hartwick. The township fire department was called about 4:45 p.m. to the horse farm. The farmer, who was home alone at the time, was out by the barn and noticed smoke coming from the house, reported Hartwick. He said the man also heard the smoke alarms sounding as he rushed back to the house. Hartwick said the fire department knocked down the fire quickly, keeping

McNab-Braeside firefighters extinguish a fire at a farm home on McLean Drive March 31. it mainly to the bathroom and front room area. “It looked pretty bad … when we first got there,” he said. As a precaution, tankers and a couple of firefighters each were called in through mutual aid from Arnprior and Horton. McLean Drive was blocked for several hours with the OPP on scene for traffic control and county paramedics called in case they were needed. One firefighter was treated for smoke inhalation.
The fire department had members stay on scene throughout the night in case the fire flared up again. “We were playing it safe,” said Hartwick, noting it is more difficult to ensure the fire is completely extinguished in older style home with no fire stops. The house appears to be still structurally sound, he said, but it will be up to the insurer and homeowner to decide how to proceed with repairs.
Police release photos of suspects breaking into Arnprior store Continued from front
After a month and with no one coming forward with information, the OPP released the photographs last week in an effort to generate tips from the public. In a news release, the OPP said it “is looking for anyone who can identify suspects in a break-and-enter to contact them.” OPP officers responded to the break-in complaint at 12:55 a.m. March 1 at B & B Buy Back on John Street. “The thieves smashed the front winOPP/SUBMITTED dow to enter the store,” reports the release. The OPP has released photographs of the break-in “Once inside they stole knives from a dissuspects as captured on the B&B Buy Back security play cabinet, and electronics. One thief may camera.

a reward, he traced the thieves escape route and found one of the 30 stolen knives in the snow near the rail trestle. The thieves were fortunate they weren’t seriously hurt, he noted, explaining that the broken window swung out and just missed on of their faces. The thieves were only in the store 70 seconds, he said. In their haste, they dropped the chargers for the laptops they stole. They had the gall to send someone into the store a couple of days later to try to make a deal for the chargers, and when that didn’t work offered to bring the laptops back in return for him dropping all charges, he said. Rancourt said he is angry that a small group of shiftless youth are shoplifting and
stealing from downtown stores and for the most part getting away with it. The March 1 break-in is just the latest in a series that has seen his windows smashed twice and door once. As well, his home was been targeted. “A lot of business downtown don’t feel properly protected,” he said. “Theft affects us all … everyone pays higher prices.” He said the downtown revitalization program will be a major boost for the downtown, with two new businesses already opening up in the next month. But the town and police should step up efforts to clean up the crime downtown as well, he added. He said he tries to be a good community booster, helping with Special Olympic, youth and other causes. “But when this is the way the community pays you back, it is frustrating.” As a pawn shop owner he works closely with police to ensure he isn’t buying or selling stolen property, so knows their frustrations, he said. He said he sympathizes with police over new restrictions and permissive parents making their job so much harder. The privacy act has made it much more difficult for him and police to name names when trying to nap criminals, he noted. Even putting photographs and video of suspects online is being questioned, he said. However, it is happening more often. The photograph of a suspect who entered the Arnprior Canadian Tire store on March 12 at about 11 a.m. and stole a tool belt and tools is being circulated on social media with an appeal to turn him in to police.

hole in the roof. That prevents them from having to give up their home because of an immediate problem. Cynics would say programs like that are ripe for abuse. But Neill said her department has such strict rules in place that few would make the attempt if they werenʼt in dire need. “I think most people would think our rules are too much of a pain,” she said. “We need the rules to make sure the money is spent wisely. This is taxpayers money and we canʼt just hand it out lightly.” A third possible solution is to bring the federal government back to the table. The Conservatives have shown little interest in homelessness issues, preferring a hands-off approach that sees the provinces and municipalities take the lead. Neill said she is “hoping it is turning around” and that long-term, national strategies could be put in place. But less hopeful critics say as long as the perception remains that homeless people are responsible for their plight, that it isnʼt societyʼs task to eradicate homelessness, the problems will persist. Neill said the more governments can be
convinced of the long-term financial savings – on health care and in some instance the legal system – the more likely they will want to be part of the solution. Until then she will continue to continue on. “Safe, affordable housing is also a known determinant of health – which is to say that the investment in social housing can lead to healthier outcomes for individuals, communities and health care expenditures,” she said. “Renfrew County Housing Corporation is committed to providing exceptional customer service to all clients and stakeholders.” Itʼs by no means all doom and gloom at her work. She sees many victories and greatly admires many of the clients. Thereʼs the woman who lived her entire life in the bush with her mother, in a home they built together. And thereʼs the man in his 60s who has never owned a home, but travelled a long way to say thank you when Renfrew County Housing offered him a unit. Both are amazing people with extraordinary life stories to tell, she said.

Renfrew County Housing will get almost $1 million this year and next to tackle homelessness. The rate has held steady, according to general manager Carol Neill, but it is difficult to calculate the number of “hidden homeless” people in places like Arnprior and Renfrew.

The Ontario government recently reconfirmed its $587-million commitment to help end homelessness. Renfrew countyʼs portion works out to $887,500 this fiscal year and next, with the same slated for 2016 and 2017, according to Renfrew County Housing general manager Carol Neill. “Itʼs a start and very helpful. Itʼs exciting,” she said. But “by no means will it solve all the problems we face in rural Ontario.” The figures across Canada of people living without a home of their own are quite high, Neill said, especially when considering the “hidden homeless”: couch surfers, street youths, people who break into cottages and others. The numbers are difficult to determine in Arnprior, Renfrew and the county as a whole. There are 978 rent-geared-toincome units (some singles, some familysized), with just under 1,000 applicants on a waiting list. However, Neill said the numbers have not altered significantly in recent years. “Itʼs pretty steady,” she said. “Itʼs moving along steadily. Can we do more? Absolutely we can do more.” A study on the issue was presented to county council in late 2013. It said homelessness will become an even greater problem as the countyʼs population continues to grow, age and diversify. Yet affordable rental units are in short supply. One possible solution is to get the private sector more involved. Neill points to a newly built seniorsʼ apartment building in Arnprior. It offers affordable housing to low income tenants, a highly needed option in a town so close to Ottawa. It seems to be working so well that Renfrew County Housing gets a phone call a day asking if any units have opened. However, government imposed rentcontrols has made it tough for landlords to make a profit, critics note. Rent increases are capped at one per cent per year, while hydro and other costs are above the rate of inflation. That means fewer people choosing to rent their properties. Another possible solution is to prevent homeless before it happens. That would mean a strong and affordable education system, including post-secondary. It also means strengthening programs such as the emergency minor home repair. It provides up to $5,000 for low income homeowners to replace a furnace or repair a

EDITORIAL
This Earth Day, be the change Earth Day is just around the corner, on Wednesday, April 22. Cynics say Earth Day and Earth Hour do little to help reduce pollution, especially when it comes to chemicalfilled candles in the dark. Of course, that isn’t the point. The two events provide a chance for people to unite and express our willingness to put the environment first and to reflect on how we can become less destructive to the only planet that will have us. The nasayers will continue to poke fun, but there is a growing awareness that our civilization must make fundamental changes. An ever-growing economic system in a world of finite resources will lead to a day of reckoning. Still, do not dispair. There is much we can do at the individual level. The good folks at Earth Day Canada have been busily promoting the 2015 campaign, and the focus this year is on cleaning up your commute. It is a day when Canadians are encouraged to make lowcarbon transportation choices on Earth Day, and every day thereafter. Rural areas have far fewer options when it comes to transportation, but awareness of and appreciation for the threat of climate change to future generations should open our minds to learning more and doing what we can. Earth Day Canada reports that transportation now accounts for a whopping 30 per cent of carbon emissions,
but suggests ways to green up your trip to school, work or play. Although Arnprior does not have a public transportation system, options available include walking, biking, driving an electric vehicle, tuning your vehicle to maximum efficiency, and telecommuting. Carpooling into the city is also a great way to save money and time (with the high occupancy lane). Municipal governments have come to recognize the importance of reducing the amount of carbon we put into the atmosphere. In Arnprior, for instance, plans such as downtown revitalization and recreation focus more on pedestrian and cycle-friendly modes of transportion (which would also be good for tourism). The car’s tyrannical hold over urban design may be waning. Earth Day Canada has set a five-year goal to provide tools that will help everyone to target a 20 per cent reduction in their individual carbon emissions by Earth Day’s 50th anniversary in 2020. These are not New Age high tech solutions: they are old-fashioned waste-not want-not. Life in rural Ontario presents its fair share of restrictions, but being informed is not one of them. The fact is few of us live a sustainable lifestyle. Most of us are responsible for leaving a hefty burden on our children and grandchildren’s shoulders. Do what you can now to show you care about Mother Earth and the future of humanity.

Through his many contributions, ‘Archie’ a great asset to this community To the Editor: People who contribute greatly to our communities are all too rarely recognized while they are still active. It is time to recognize a man who has contributed greatly to the Arnprior community, and in general, to the province and the country, through his tireless efforts in his profession and as a volunteer. It is time to give credit to Glenn Arthur for his selfless service to his community, his family and his country. I have known Glenn (Archie) for over 40 years. I first met him in his then home community of Almonte. He was then, as he is now, energetic, honest, hard-working, dedicated and a very funny young man. He was a leader, a good athlete and he was looked up to by his peer group. He worked as a playground super-

Hydro bills outrageous, especially in province’s rural areas Excerpts from an open letter to Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin. I am a rural Ontarian. Now that I live in Carp, the outer reaches of Ottawa, my hydro bills are in the $600-$900 range during the winter months. I am absolutely livid with Hydro One and the Ontario Liberals because I know that I am being overcharged and financially abused. Why am I paying for the United States to take our electricity? Why am I paying “green” energy businesses to install windmills and solar panels for their benefit, not mine?
Over 50 per cent of my bill constitutes outrageous delivery charges (why am I being discriminated against for living in a rural part of the city?); seemingly arbitrary regulatory charges (“cost of services required to operate the electricity system” and “line loss” just what am I paying for?); the intellectually and financially offensive debt retirement charge (how much and for how long do Ontarians have to pay for ineptitude and abuse of power?); and, to top it all off, the Ontario government is charging us HST on top of all of those charges. As rural Ontarians, we are paying dearly for
our hydro. We do not even have the option of purchasing natural gas. The president and CEO of Hydro One makes $1,714,000.04 and someone with the title Sr. VP People, Culture & Chief Ethics is making $468,892.21! With the number of people making greater than $100,000 at Hydro One, perhaps they don’t have any basis in reality to understand that the average Ontarian does not make the same kind of money they do and they cannot afford the rates and charges they are faced with. By the way, just in case you didn’t realize
Glenn Arthur keeps positive attitude in face of adversity Continued from Page 8
The list of organizations that value Glenn’s advice and support is too numerous to articulate here. As a municipal employee, Glenn is known as the ‘Go-to guy’. When a new idea is identified and there is question about who should be tasked with getting it going, in many cases ‘Archie’ is asked to get it done. Glenn is also a very dedicated family man and his family very much personifies his dedication. Glenn, Kathy, their children and grandchildren have been, and continue to be, an integral part of
this community. Interestingly enough, even when Glenn encountered health problems he turned that lemon into lemonade. When Glenn experienced some issues with his heart, Arnprior became a focus for new and innovative programs around heart health. His efforts, along with others, has led to the provision of many defibrillators around many facilities in Ontario. His positive attitude is infectious and his energy is endless. Not long ago Glenn was in the hospital in Ottawa and when he was reached by phone and asked how he was, his re-
sponse was that he felt “110 per cent” and he was doing some paper work in his room. I could have gone on, but I will leave it to each person whom Glenn has touched to look back on what he has meant to them. I seem to remember something from Star Wars or some such production, where one character was often saying: “Live long and prosper.” Archie, may you live long and prosper. You are an asset to the community. Terry Gibeau (former Arnprior mayor)

Group enjoyed local cooking To the editor, Thanks for the article ‘Country Kitchen creates meals without additives’ (March 19 Chronicle-Guide). It was great to read about her business. Sandee Rosien catered our Kanata-based business networking group for several months last year and her food was consistently delicious. She was happy to make special meals to accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions. Our group outgrew the space and had to move to a venue that included catering. I very much miss her egg white omelettes and side of tomatoes. Kirsten Smith Woodlawn

A hidden camera records unexpected visitor activity at night Much of Nature’s activities take place at night, so last month I decided to set up a trail camera on my property. I maintain trails throughout my property and one runs through mixed hardwoods below a rocky ridge. White-tailed Deer often use this route, so it seemed a logical place to set up the camera. Unfortunately, the camera records night activity with infrared so the images are black and white and grainy. Still, it does provide a fascinating record of animals passing unseen by human eyes. To date, the camera has captured nine species of mammals including a Long-tailed Weasel. Daytime activity is more sharply recorded by colour digital photography. A few weeks ago I put out meat scraps as bait.
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way These attracted a lot of attention from the five Raccoons that became active when night-time temperatures finally moderated.
Whatever the occasion..
Clancy’s has your Gift Giving idea’s covered!
Other mammals including a Fisher, a Red Fox, and an Eastern Coyote made appearances (the latter two also in daytime). The arrival of one of these hunters at night was always preceded by the disappearance of the Raccoons. During the day, the meat caught the attention of birds. Common Ravens were the first to find them, and eventually American Crows caught wind of the banquet. But one day when I checked the camera’s card I had a surprise. The first hundred images were of crows but then a new bird appeared in the pictures. A Red-tailed Hawk had also flown in to partake in the feast. Now, I did know that even though they are skilled hunters, Red-tailed Hawks will scavenge from time to time. However, I had never witnessed this, so I was delighted to review the images captured by my camera. The hawk must have been passing through for it made no further appearances. However, a week later a Turkey Vulture took its place. Turkey Vultures are our only birds that attain all of their food by scavenging, a trait that makes them obligate scavengers. Other birds such as Red-tailed Hawks and Bald Eagles that eat dead animals only from time to time are known as facultative scavengers. Incidentally, vultures are our only local birds that find their food by smell. Last week when I checked my camera I received a genuine surprise. A second hawk had come in to scavenge, but this time it was not a Red-tailed. The newcomer was a Red-shouldered Hawk,

Red-shouldered Hawks rarely scavenge but trail cameras never lie.
a species that dines on snakes and frogs in summer. Red-shouldered Hawks, named for a rufous patch on the shoulder of their wings, nest in mature maple forests such as Arnprior’s Gillies Grove where these hawks did raise young not many years ago. I had never heard of Red-shouldered scavenging, so I hit the books, eventually finding a couple of references to this type of feeding, which apparently is rare. The Red-shouldered Hawk returned twice more, but my camera has stopped functioning, so I will not know if it returns. Of course, that is unless I stake out the site and use an old-fashioned method. Which is to use my eyes and observe! The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Town promotes awareness on World Autism Day April 2 Since the passing of a bill in the fall of 2012, every April 2 will be recognized officially as World Autism Awareness Day in Canada. The Town of Arnprior showed how serious it is about the affliction with a special ceremony to mark the day last Thursday. Reeve Walter Stack led the presentation for the ‘Raise the Flag’ initiative to indicate acceptance to those with the Autism Spectrum Disorder. Everyone in Town was invited to wear blue that day and in the evening, blue lights shone from the town hall and the clock tower. Andrew Wilson, who just moved to Arnprior, is the president of the Ottawa chapter for Autism Ontario. There are 24 other chapters throughout the province. “It (the proclamation) is great for autism awareness and support for those affected by it,” said Wilson. The passing of Autism Awareness Day bill was aimed at showing how serious autism is and how important it is to promote awareness. One in 94 children in Canada are said to be diagnosed with the disorder.

Use Hydro One sale proceeds to pay down debt: PCs The Progressive Conservative’s stand is that any money from the sale of Hydro One must be directed to the province’s electricity debt, says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. Yakabuski, the party’s Energy Critic, notes that interim PC Leader said Jim Wilson made that clear last week in the Legislature. The Electricity Act “prevents you from putting that money toward anything but that $27 billion debt. Are you going to obey the law or will you simply ignore it?” Wilson asked Pre-
mier Kathleen Wynne. Wilson noted that when he was energy minister the law was put in place to ensure taxpayers wouldn’t be left having to pay off Hydro’s debt. The debt of $27 billion translates into $5,400 per Ontario ratepayer that would have to be found if the law wasn’t followed. “Is the cost of new infrastructure going to become another expensive line item on people’s hydro bills?” Wilson demanded of the Premier. In a news release, Yakabuski noted that
Hydro One profits are currently used to pay down current stranded debt, but if any portion of Hydro One is sold, including Brampton Hydro One, those profits will be reduced and the revenue stream being used to pay down that debt will shrink. Yakabuski charged that the government will have to raise hydro rates to replace the lost money.

MP asks federal minister to investigate Ontario’s ‘smart metres scandal’ Staff

R0013216516
Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is once again urging one of her federal counterparts to interfere in a provincial matter. In a news release recently, Gallant said she has asked federal Industry Minister James Moore to intervene in the Ontario Hydro One “smart meters scandal” and force the utility to set bills according to manual meter readings, not usage “dreamt up in Toronto.” A couple of weeks ago, she urged federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau to force the provincial Liberal government to drop its new sex education curriculum. Gallant argues that while the provincial government is responsible for the “crippling high electricity rates that have hollowed out the manufacturing sector in Ontario,” it is Industry Canada that regulates things such as gasoline pumps, gas and electricity meters. She said that in her first investigation into power meters, she contacted Moore who is responsible for Measurement Canada and the Office of Consumer Affairs regarding the operation and use of “so-called smart meters” by Hydro One. She noted she has been informed Ontario
Hydro has been authorized to certify meters it installs, with voluntary reporting requirements to Measurement Canada of meters that give faulty readings. “Also, the ongoing investigation by the Ombudsman of Ontario into the billing practices of Hydro One has received over 10,000 direct complaints from ratepayers, while acknowledging upwards of over 84,000 Hydro One ratepayers experiencing billing problems,” she said. Gallant also raised a submission by a Hydro One vice-president to the Ontario Energy Board stating in the case of the provincial utility, billing problems are a result of “smart meter technology … equipment failure.” This has led to estimated billing practices that have caused severe financial hardship for thousands of Ontario residents,” said Gallant. “My constituents believe that it is not unreasonable to ask that bills be based on real meter readings. Electricity bills should be based on actual usage, not dreamt up in Toronto. “Until this problem is fixed, I am requesting that Hydro One be ordered by Measurement Canada to cease the practice of estimated billing and return to the practice of manual meter reading, with all costs the responsibility of Hydro One,” said Gallant.
“What new taxes will the ratepayers of Ontario see on their bills in order to pay off the debt that you seem to be ignoring?” Yakabuski demanded. “When are you going to tell ratepayers that hydro bills are going to continue to skyrocket to pay down the electricity debt?”

Local graduation rates appear to be close to the provincial average. The provincial education ministry reported on April 1 a five-year graduation rate of 84 per cent and a four-year graduation rate of 76 per cent in Ontario. It is the first time the province has published board-by-board graduation rates. In response, the Renfrew County public school board issued a news release saying it is pleased to announce the local graduation rates for this cohort as an 85 per cent fiveyear graduation rate and 74 per cent for the four-year graduation rates.
The board noted its students are part of the group of learners helping to raise Ontario’s graduation rates 16 per cent over the last decade. In its news release, the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board noted its graduation rate for secondary students closely matched the provincial average in 2014. The Catholic board’s five-year graduation rate was 85 per cent, a touch above the provincial average, while its four-year rate was 75 per cent, just below the provincial average. The province made the calculation for the 2014 graduation rate based on the 20092010 cohort of students, which includes

those who entered Grade 9 that year. At the Renfrew County Catholic board, for instance, the calculation includes students who successfully completed their Ontario Secondary School Diploma in either four or five years, as well as students who moved from the board to another system. Students who left the province are beyond the board’s ability to track. “This data will form part of our ongoing improvement planning,” said board chair Bob Michaud. “Our board is committed to ensuring that all of our students can achieve their personal best.”

“We offer solid instructional practice for all students and alternative education opportunities for those who may not thrive in a traditional classroom setting. As a Catholic school board, our focus is on nurturing the giftedness of each individual and encouraging our students to reach their best potential, while respecting the dignity and worth of all those around us,” Michaud added. Director of education Michele Arbour added that: “Everyone in our Board - from school trustees to administrators, principals, teachers and support staff - works as a team to provide a safe, caring and respectful environment to support student success and well-being, close gaps in individual learning and increase public confidence in our school system. “We will continue to strive for our students’ success by providing extensive professional development to our teachers and the latest in e-learning classroom technologies, as well as innovative special education and alternative learning programs that are based on best practices to respond to each of our students’ specific needs,” she said. The Renfrew County public board’s release says it “recognizes and celebrates the educational pathways of all students” and is pleased to have 93 per cent of the 2009-2010 cohort of students reaching their educational goals of an OSSD, and Ontario Secondary School Certificate (OSSC) or Certificate of Achievement, or continuing to engage in educational opportunities within a secondary school in Ontario. “Through our Student Success, Special Education and Alternative and Continuing Education programs we are attentive to all students needs and have programs and strategies in place to support students in realizing success in a variety of pathways including the OSSC and Certificate of Achievement,” said the board’s student success leader Jacqueline Poirier. “Our Specialist High Skills Major, expanded cooperative education and experiential learning programs within secondary schools support student engagement and learning opportunities for all. The Renfrew County District School Board continues to work together to create outstanding educational experiences that honour the uniqueness of each individual.” The percentage of students graduating in four years is 76 per cent, an increase of 20 percentage points since 2004, when it was only 56 per cent. Since 2004, about 163,000 more students have graduated than would have if the graduation rate had remained at the 2004 level.

Meet the cast of ‘Meet Me at the Mayfair’ Charlotte Leitch’s play revolving around a storied Arnprior dance hall and local veterans has been cast. ‘Meet Me at the Mayfair’, written by Leitch, brings back memories of the popular Mayfair Dance Hall as the Second World War comes to an end. The play, which will be performed in Arnprior on weekend of May 8, is full of laughter and joy. The play tells the stories of local veterans Nick Smith, Gerry Neumann, Harry Powell, Willard Bahm and Wilf Clouthier. Alex Staye, proprietor of the Mayfair, is also featured. His commitment to providing entertainment to the community lifted the spirits of a war-weary town. The stories of the local veterans are intertwined with fictional characters to commemorate the end of the war and exemplify the close knit nature of Arnprior’s citizens. Anda Sprudzs plays ‘Shirley’, who could be “anybody’s mother,” while Jim Hall plays her son ‘Robert’, representing “any” soldier.
Although fictional, their characters represent the fate of so many families during the war. During different scenes, the stage comes alive with music. At the end of the dance hall scene, the audience will join in the singing to the strum of Jeff Bahm’s guitar. Jeff plays the part of his father Willard, who played guitar and banjo at the Mayfair. Opening night is Friday, May 8, which is 70 years to the day that the Second World War ended. The performances will be Friday, May 8 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, May 9 at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, May 10 at 2 p.m. The play will take place at Carlton Reid Memorial Hall, connected to Emmanuel Anglican Church at 287 Harrington St. in Arnprior. Tickets cost $15 and can be bought at the church office Tuesdays and Thursdays or at Century 21 Explorer Realty at 201 Daniel St. in Arnprior any day.

“We know children need a minimum of 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity for healthy development. We also know that children are more active – and mentally and physically healthier and happier – when they play and learn outside in natural spaces,” said Shawna Babcock, KidActive’s executive director. “It is an honour to receive this award from CHEO and to be supported in the work that we are doing 613.816.4061 with communities, schools, municipalities, educators, health professionals and community champi- www.sandeescountrykitchen.com ons across all sectors. We ... thank CHEO for recognizing the hard work being done in our communities to keep children and youth healthy, and out of the hospital,” added Babcock.
as well over the course of their entire lives,” said CHEO’s CEO Alex Munter. Founded in 2008, KidActive works to support every child’s access to healthy development, healthier communities and stronger connections to the natural environment. Its programs, resources and policy work are designed to improve opportunities for increased outdoor active play, learning outside and active transportation. Last year, KidActive worked with more than 2,000 children and youth and 27 communities throughout Renfrew County and across Ontario, with the goal to build healthier communities where children play, live and learn outside for at least 60 to 90 minutes each day.

Sheila McBride, Rosemary Jones and Debra O’Toole show off some of the material that will be sold this Saturday, April 11 from 9 a.m. to noon at the ‘huge indoor variety sale’ at NeighbourLink Fountain.
Neighbourlink holding indoor variety sale for the first time It’s a first for the Arnprior and District NeighbourLink Fountain. The church-sponsored drop-in centre in the old Alexander Reid school on Mary Street in Arnprior is holding a ‘huge indoor variety sale’ this Saturday, April 11 from 9 a.m. to noon. “It’s our spring cleaning,” said Jones, who hails from Manchester, England. She retired as a French teacher before heading to NeighbourLink. “We usually have an outside sale, though, in June.” Everything on sale is from public and personal donations, as there is no government funding for the organization.
There will be original artwork, knitting, woodwork, hats and plenty of clothes. McBride coined the location as “Arnprior’s best kept secret.” She works in the kitchen as a volunteer and recently NeighbourLink had an Easter lunch with about 75 people attending. NeighbourLink Fountain is a place where people go in for a friendly chat or advice on how to deal with a variety of issues from finances to loss of a home. There’s a café, and even a lounge and a kid’s room. Jones estimates about 50 to 100 people walk through the doors on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Naturalists to focus on Arctic, birds Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists
On Thursday, April 16, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) will host a Members’ Night. It will consist of three unique presentations given by members of MVFN in the Almonte United Church, at 7:30 pm. The club’s annual meeting will follow the presentations. ‘A Photo Journey of the High Arctic’ will be presented by Howard Robinson, who, along with wife Mary travelled to this wild and remote part of Canada in August and September 2014. The Robinsons, of Clayton, have been members of MVFN for over 20 years.
The Arctic ‘expedition’ had been their dream for many years. A presentation by Iain Wilkes entitled ‘A Lanark County ‘Big Year’ - How Many Birds Are There?’ will follows. Also a former MVFN board member and long-time member, Wilkes became involved in a local Christmas Bird Count in the 1990s. ‘Big Year’ stories are written by people who endeavor to identify as many species of birds as possible within a given year in a defined location. In 2012 he completed a ‘Big Year’ for Ontario during which he identified 290 species. The third presentation, ‘MVFN’s Budding Young Naturalists in Action’, offers a highly interactive ‘nature-based’ experiences for children
Jessica Waterston of White Lake tries her hand at the archery display as Michael Leeder shares a laugh at the at the Carp Fishing, Hunting and Outdoor Show. The annual event ran March 27-29 at the Carp Fairages 6–11.

For the April 16 presentation, three current young naturalists, Julia Code, and Isaac and Owen Flieler, will utilize images and personal anecdotes to highlight activities they’ve enjoyed within the program. They will be joined in their presentation Patty McLaughlin and program coordinator Ron Williamson. For further information, contact the MVFN’s program chair Gretta Bradley at glbradley@icloud.com.

Packers’ jerseys sell quickly at skate sharpening shop Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
Ottawa Sens jerseys sure are popular in this part of the country, but so are Arnprior Packersʼ. Since about mid-October Jason Durand of The Canadian Pro Shop inside Nick Smith Centre has sold used hockey sweaters on behalf of Arnprior Minor Hockey Association (AMHA). Sales went exceeding well. With 53 jerseys sold, AMHA president Matt Naismith decided it was time to thank the owner in person. He stopped by the skate sharpening shop on April 2 to express his appreciation, and to praise Durandʼs skills. “Iʼve had the pleasure to visit many rink facilities up and down the Ottawa valley, and Iʼve often been told that one of the best spots to get your skates done is right here at Jasonʼs,” Naismith said. “We are very appreciative that he is part of
the Arnprior hockey family.” At $10 a jersey, Durand netted $530 for the association, which like every hockey association in Canada can use every dollar it can. The extra sweaters were given to him at the beginning of the season when AMHA upgrading its branding to include a new logo and colour scheme. Asked who is buying the retro jerseys, Durand smiled broadly. “Itʼs all the old guys,” he said, laughing. “The retired guys who play during the week days; you see them out there wearing their old colours. “And the parents of kids who played. Itʼs definitely a nostalgia thing.” He noted that one person will buy 10 for a team he is putting together. Durand will continue to sell the former game and practice jerseys, which come in a variety of sizes and colours. Naismith said there are plenty more to go for those who are interested.
Valley champs off to EOJHL final The team that the Arnprior Packers came within an overtime goal of defeating has qualified for the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League final. Having to overcome a stubborn Packer team in their seven-game opening series has obviously been good for the Stittsville Ram. The Rams followed up their win over Arnprior by sweeping regular season Valley champion Renfrew Timberwolves 4-0. After dropping the ValleyMetro series opener to the
Gatineau Mustangs by a 3-0 count on home ice March 18, the Rams fought back to capture the series in six games. A 7-4 win in Buckingham March 27 capped the series triumph for the Rams, who become the first Valley team to reach the EOJHL final since 1996. A pair of 3-2 wins in games two and three – one in overtime, the other in the final minute – turned the series around for Stittsville. The defending EOJHL champion Casselman Vikings will provide a formidable foe. Casselman swept the Prescott Flyers 4-0 in the
Rideau-St. Lawrence final. FINAL TIED
At press time, two games have been played in the EOJHL final. Casselman easily won the first bout 7-3 on April 2. However, in game two, the Valley Division champs showed they wonʼt be pushovers. The Rams tied the series on April 4 with a 6-3 victory. Games three and four were slated for April 7 and 8. Game five goes this Friday.

Three local ringette teams compete in gold medal games Staff
Three Arnprior-McNab ringette teams qualified for the National Capital region championship playoff finals in their age groups, and two struck gold. The championship day was held in Arnprior at the Nick Smith Centre on March 29.
The U19 Belle team had an exciting championship game against Kingston. A 5-4 victory gave the locals first place and gold medals. The U9 Arnprior Devils played a strong game against a talented West Ottawa team and beat them 7-5 to take first place and gold in the finals.
The U12 Petite Arnprior Devils were also in the playoff final. The U12s earned 12 regular season wins, enough to give them a bye to the semi-final match. They defeated West Ottawa in that round to secure their spot in the championship game. The girls played with their hearts and
souls, and came out with the silver medal in a 7-2 loss to a speedy team from GloucesterCumberland. It was a great finish to a great season for many of the Arnprior-McNab teams. It was even sweeter that Arnprior hosted the championship day so the games were played on home ice in front of proud family and friends.

5 Steps to Rebuilding Your Credit Rating After Filing a Consumer Proposal or Bankruptcy 2 weeks ago in this space, we wrote that filing a consumer proposal or bankruptcy are options that will greatly reduce your debt stress but will also affect your credit rating. A first bankruptcy will remain on your file for about seven years (assuming you’re discharged after nine months), and a consumer proposal for three years after you complete it.

Having a poor credit rating for that length of time may seem an insurmountable problem, but all is not lost. With a bit of effort and good financial management, you can repair and rebuild it. Here’s how: Pay your bills on time. This is one step that you can take even while you’re still in bankruptcy or paying your consumer proposal. This positive change in your financial behavior will be reflected on your credit report. About four to six months after you complete your bankruptcy/consumer proposal, request a free copy of your credit report from both Equifax Canada and Transunion Canada. Because these companies work independently of one another, it’s important to review both reports. When you receive your reports, check them for accuracy. If you notice any errors, contact either Equifax or Transunion (whichever one made the error) directly. They will investigate your complaint and make any necessary corrections. Review your report from each agency once a year to make sure the information is correct and up to date. Consider applying for a secured credit card. Unlike a prepaid credit card, which works much like a debit card by allowing you to use the card only up to the amount you’ve deposited in the card account, a secured credit card operates as a true credit card, allowing
you to borrow the funds you use for your purchases. The only catch is that you must secure the card with a cash deposit made to the bank. The bank then holds this deposit for use in case you fail to make your payments. Your credit limit is usually equal to the amount of your security deposit. A word of caution: Only apply for one secured credit card, and only if you are absolutely certain that you can properly manage it. This includes making your payments on time all the time, and paying off the full balance every month. Remember that you are trying to establish healthy financial patterns and not backslide into repeating the ones that resulted in your difficulties in the first place. This will provide a history of credit purchases and repayments. Open a savings account and make regular deposits, even if you can only afford to set aside a few dollars each payday. While savings accounts aren’t reported on your credit record (and therefore don’t have a direct impact on your rating), they do serve other important roles in rebuilding your overall credit. First, you’ll be establishing a regular saving pattern that is critical to healthy overall finances; and second, the savings can then be used as an emergency fund if an unexpected expense comes up. Be patient. Remember you’re not just simply rebuilding your credit score, you’re rebuilding your credit history, and there’s no quick fix for that. It’s going to take time to prove that your financial management skills have improved, and to regain the trust of creditors. But it will absolutely be worth the effort. If you are burdened with debt stress, asking for sound advice is a sign of strength and the smart thing to do. Asking sooner rather than later is always better. Call Doyle Salewski today for your free, no obligation consultation. You’ll be glad you did.

Curling club celebrates Isobel Munro’s 90 years Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
Isobel Munro’s time with the sporting of curling goes back to 1947. There were some noteworthy points along the way with the participation in the sport - the Ladies Ontario Curling Champions in 1973, for instance. She was a podium winner at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
“No,” corrected Munro. “(Scotties) was called a Lassie then.” It’s true. Even though the tournament was established in the early 1960s, it was known as a ‘Lassie’ through most of the 1970s. History says that it finally changed in 1981, when Scott Paper Limited made the commitment to sponsor the Canadian Women’s Curling Championship. It’s been called the Scotties ever since.

Munro had also made an appearance in the Canadian final. “Isobel’s just been a lifelong community member. She has been very supportive of the club,” said Sandra Tait, who had a hand in organizing a party at the Arnprior Curling Club to celebrate Munro’s 90th birthday. “What she did from a small place like Arnprior was huge in the sport back then.” Munro said that she joined curling in 1947. The club on Galvin Street didn’t even exist. “We played with the straw brooms and for a while with these little irons and then we played with the granites,” said Munro. The granites were said to weigh about 40 pounds. “I joined because after graduating from nursing, a bunch of us decided to join the club.” Munro worked at the Arnprior hospital for 40 years and was its long-time nursing director.

April election month at the Legion Janet Tobio Arnprior Legion
And still it snows. But not as much. and more is going than coming, so there is hope for spring St. Paddyʼs Day at the Legion was a blast (as the kids say). A full house all day and both sets of entertainers were enjoyed, and the food was mmmm mmmm good even if I did have to do take out. Well done staff. You did it again. Everyone must have had a great time. They were still tired on the 17th. The bartender and I had to drink green beer and cheer the Leprechauns on by ourselves. April is election month. As usual it will be held the last Sunday in April. NOMINATIONS, ANYONE?
The nomination board was posted at the beginning of April. The list of positions is to be on a board just inside the front door. There wonʼt be any flashing lights on it, nor will there be anyone there to point you in the right direction, so look for it. Very simple procedure these days. The list will include name, position and volunteer/nominator. Too easy. If you are nominating someone, make sure they agree to stand. If you volunteer and put your own name down, you, of course, have agreed to stand for that position. Donʼt be afraid to jump right in and run for a position.
New blood is always needed to keep things interesting. One stipulation is you must have served on the executive before running for an officer position (president, vice-president, treasurer or secretary). There are several positions on the executive and itʼs a good learning spot for the general organization and what it takes to run the Legion. Obviously many of us canʼt wait for nicer weather. We are all making plans for the next couple months. BRITISH INVASION COMING
The entertainment chair is busy organizing, so watch the paper and the board out front for some pretty interesting people coming to entertain. April and May have two Saturdays each of music, dancing and a good time. June has a special event planned. Watch for information and tickets for ʻBritish Invasionʼ. Got your interest? Good! MOTHER’S DAY TEA
LIZ WALL/SUBMITTED
MTC! Mayʼs annual Motherʼs Day Tea will be held again this year but will be hosted by the Golden Valley Seniors (GVS) Saturday, May 9. So ladies, mark your calendars. This is your afternoon to relax and have fun before the family all descend upon you on Motherʼs Day. Tickets at $5 per person will be available from the GVS members effective April 22. Plan to attend. No one under 16 years of age please. Remember, Friday night with the jammers in the lounge. They always have a good time. Lots of fun, dancing and great music.
Museum honours true Canadian hero Nancy Peck, right, of Arnprior was among those on hand April 1 for the opening of a Terry Fox exhibition at the Canadian Museum of History. The Terry Fox - Running to the Heart of Canada exhibition, which will run to Jan. 24, 2016, marks the 35th anniversary of Terry Fox’s inspiring cross-county Marathon of Hope. The unique look at a Canadian hero and what he did to bring awareness to the fight against cancer is timely what with April being Cancer Month in Canada. In an opening night special photo offering provided by the museum, from left, are Margaret Peck, Sue Rogan, Irma Peck, Betty McCambley and Nancy Peck. Nancy is a Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home driver. To see more photos from the event, visit www.ottawagatineauphotobooth.com.

Father’s love for the family farm was obvious The snow was gone from our long lane, and it had settled into deep ruts of mud, which wouldnʼt completely dry up into the early summer. Thick bush on either side of the lane stopped the sun, and it was one of the last places on the farm to give up the snows of winter. Walking home from the Northcote School that time of year, we had to walk down the centre of the lane to miss the mud in the deep ruts. That day I could smell a difference in the air. Mud had a special smell to me, one I wasnʼt particularly fond of. But I knew it was also the smell of spring, one of my favourite times of the year. And so, that day on the way home from school, I knew there would be other changes too around the farm. Father would be pleased that the barnyard had cleared of snow, and the cows could graze on dry land. He would never tolerate any of the

And there in the corner of that small stall was one of our ewes, and beside her two newly born lambs, their wool still damp from their birth.

It would have to be completely dry before the planting. I neared the swing gate and then I saw Father. He was leaning on the fence that circled the barnyard – most unusual for him at that time of day.

We leaned into the stall for the longest time, saying nothing. The mother sheep was eyeing us, and the two little lambs, fresh from birth, trying to find their place in this new world they had been born into. I realized Father was still holding my hand. We came out of the barn, and Father said, “Better go to the house. Mother will be looking for you.” I walked ever so slowly to the back door, thinking about what I had just seen, and even though I was very young, I knew again why my father so loved his farm. Why every inch, first settled three generations before him, would always be his haven. I remember, as if it were yesterday, looking up to the sky that day and thanking whoever, or whatever was up there looking down at us, and saying my childish thanks for all that was around me. The Depression, indeed, was in some other country. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Crafts, art and baked goods at Villa Arnprior Villa held its spring tea social, craft and bake sale on April Fool’s Day for the 81 people and visitors. Activities director Debbie Visinski, top right, is with Pam Picard and her Easter-themed ‘Pam’s Bed Doll Beauties’. The afternoon event, which included entertainment, also happens at Christmas. Proceeds go to the Arnprior District Food Bank. Above, Claire Amirault isn’t selling anything particular for the Villa sale, but still showed off her talents. She is musical and played the piano and is also a painter. One particular favourite of hers is a French lady on a beach, watching a boat head out on the water with her husband on board. Amirault was inspired to paint by her father. Karen Zwaan, right, of McNab-Braeside showed off her table of photographs she took at Waba Cottaga in White Lake. She also was selling handmade goat milk soap. Zwaan said she needs 750 ml for a batch of soap, which requires eight weeks to cure, so the bars were made in early January. A few drops of essential oil, brings out the fragrance.

Knights in full ‘retreat’ as Legion victorious in euchre challenge Friday, March 27 was not a good night at the euchre tables for the Arnprior Knights of Columbus.

On the other hand, the Knights did win the number of ‘skunks’ with 13. Winners of the evening were Debbie McLeod\Charlotte Coe with 8 wins, 5 points.

The overall 2015 Challenge team winners were Joanne Camelon\Arlie Smith with 37 wins, 81 points followed by Gordie Russett\ Patsy Russett with 35 wins, 115 points.

Hilary Rathwell, Boyd MacLaren, Karen Belleville, Rose Anne MacLaren and Virgina MacLaren were all chipping in at the Celtic lunch at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Renfrew on March 22. Rose Anne and Boyd of McNab-Braeside also have a major hand in organizing McNab Days and the Scottish festival to be held on June 21. This was the first Celtic lunch they put on for the church and Rose Anne was quite surprised with the turnout. The food from Dubliner Irish omelette, Guinness baked beans and champ were all Irish recipes. It was all to eat for a freewill donation, as proceeds will go back to the church.

greener commuting choices. Sign up today for the Earth Day Every Day Clean Commute toolkit. Earth Day Canada will send you links to useful resources to help you, your family, co-workers and friends act/post/ share and win prizes by making clean commute decisions, all on their new Earth Day Every Day mobile-friendly site. How will you green up your trip to school,
work or play? Choose from a variety of clean commute options, including walking, biking, driving an electric vehicle, taking public transit or the school bus, telecommuting, or tuning your vehicle to maximize efficiency. Whatever you decide, make sure to sign up online and be part of Earth Day Canada’s fiveyear campaign to provide tools that will help everyone target a 20 per cent reduction in their
individual carbon emissions by Earth Day’s 50th anniversary in 2020. As a special feature, people will have the opportunity to be recognized and add their signature to an Earth Flag that Earth Day Canada will take to the international climate meetings in Paris this December. Sign up today at earthday.ca and take the first step to making Earth Day Every Day.

To hear your voice And see your smile To sit and talk with you awhile To be together in the same old way Would be our greatest wish today So please God take a message To our precious Leonard up above Tell him we miss him and give him our love.
It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Well Dad, hard to believe a year has gone by already. We love you and miss you. Lori, Greg and Family

We cherish all the memories we have of you. We all love you and miss you so much. You are forever in our hearts and minds. Love forever and always, Pete, Cassandra, Leslie and Greg, Cathy and Greg

MAYHEW, Brian Lewis MAYHEW, Brian Lewis of Port Dover, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family, at Norview Lodge, Simcoe, after a long and courageous battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, on Monday, March 30, 2015 in his 65th year. Loving husband of Brigitte, cherished father of Matthew of Guelph and Melissa Mayhew and her husband Brian O’Sullivan of Toronto, dearest brother of Cindy Beischlag and her husband Paul of Port Dover. Predeceased by his parents Lewis and Mary Mayhew. Brian was born in Renfrew, Ontario and first came to Port Dover when his family relocated. Brian graduated from Port Dover Composite School, then the University of Waterloo, and Althouse Teachers’ College at the University of Western Ontario in London. A passionate educator, he spent all his teaching years with the Norfolk Board of Education and later the Grand Erie District School Board. Brian taught mainly grades 7 & 8, and spent the later years of his career as Vice Principal. He was especially proud of his time spent teaching developmentally delayed students in the Life Skills Program at Simcoe Composite School. His lasting contribution to the Life Skills Program means that former students continue to achieve success decades later, with paid employment positions that Brian worked to secure on their behalf. He was a well respected teacher and well liked by both students and colleagues. Years after his early retirement due to the onset of his illness, students would greet him and his family with fond memories and share how much they had enjoyed having him be their teacher. Brian’s happiest times outside the classroom were spent with family and friends in the outdoors, fishing, skating and enjoying time in the countryside. He was also an avid sports fan and an accomplished basketball player in his youth. Throughout his life, Brian maintained a personal connection with the Ottawa Valley, and always looked forward to visits with family that remained in the area. He will be missed by all who knew him and fondly remembered. . Brian’s family would like to thank Dr. Paul Medve and all the staff at Norview Lodge for their care, compassion and kindness to both Brian and his family during his stay at Norview Lodge. In keeping with Brian’s wishes all services are private. The family gathered at THOMPSON WATERS FUNERAL HOME, Port Dover for the funeral service, followed by interment at Port Dover Cemetery on Friday, April 3, 2015. The Reverend Jeff Smith officiated. For those wishing, donations to the Child Nutrition Network (c/o H-N Reach) would be greatly appreciated by the family. Donations can be made by contacting Haldimand-Norfolk REACH at 1-800-265-8087 ext. 408 or 1-519-587-2441 ext 408. Online donations and/or condolences can be made at www.thompsonwatersfuneralhome.ca
Mamie Legris [1916 – 2015] Mamie Legris, staff worker of Madonna House, died peacefully on March 27, 2015 in Our Lady of the Visitation – St. Mary’s, Combermere, ON after a long illness. She served 63 years in the Apostolate. Mamie—Mary Theresa Brigid Legris—daughter of Alfred & Anne (Guiney) Legris was born in Dacre, Ontario, on March 31, 1916. She was raised there and helped in her father’s store. She attended high school in Mount St. Patrick and Renfrew. She received her teaching certificate from Ottawa Normal School in 1934 and taught in the area for 17 years, in Mount St. Patrick, Griffiths, Dacre and the Golden Lake Reserve. Mamie first heard Catherine and Eddie Doherty of Madonna House speak at Teachers’ Conventions in Douglas and Pembroke, Ontario. She enjoyed teaching but came to realize God was calling her to another vocation and so decided to try Madonna House. She began her training in 1951, and made her first promises in 1952. In May 1954, Mamie was assigned as Director of Maryhouse in Whitehorse, Yukon, the first mission outreach of Madonna House, where she served for ten years. Later travels took her to East Pakistan, Honduras, Brazil, Russia and the US to open new missions there. Mamie served a number of years at the Training Centre in Combermere and also spent time in the West Indies, St. Joseph’s House in Combermere, Israel and Peru. She served in prayer houses in Aquia, Virginia, Cleveland, OH and Coudert House in the Yukon for another seven years. She served meals in a busy hostel, visited with neighbours in quiet prayer houses, camped on the way to Inuvik in Arctic Canada, made friends in a South American barriada, met survivors of the gulags in Russia, travelled by schooner in the West Indies, shared coffee in the Middle East. She had friends writing to her from those places for years. Mamie loved and was interested in all sorts of people, and in spite of not speaking local languages, had a wonderful capacity to listen and be a friend. In 1997 she moved back to Combermere from her beloved Whitehorse, and since 2006 has lived in Our Lady of the Visitation care facility. She continued to help in the office and kitchen, visit local shut-ins, and keep up a vast correspondence with family and friends throughout the world. She was pre-deceased by her parents, Alfred and Anne Legris, brothers Francis (Hannah), Dan (Justine), Sam (Jennie), Joe (Rose), Bernard and Isaiah, and sisters Bernadette, Stella, Zita (Fred Denton) and Kathleen. She is survived by her brother-in-law, Clifford Bruce, (North Gower), sister-in law Hannah, along with many nieces, nephews and cousins. A wake for Mamie was held on April 6, 2015 at Madonna House St. Mary’s Chapel. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on April 7 at St. Mary’s Chapel with interment at Canadian Martyrs cemetery in Combermere. A reception followed at St. Mary’s. CLR596367
