In a split 4 to 3 decision, Arnprior town council has narrowly approved substantially increasing the number of townhouses in Campanale’s Callahan subdivision. Council passed the controversial changes to the .CA .COM development by a 4-3 vote at its Aug. 22 meeting. In voting against, Mayor David Reid suggested Arnprior is “too lenient” when it comes to allowing townhouses to dominate new subdivisions.

Town more lenient than others on allowing townhouses: Reid Continued from front

The approval means phases 2 and 3 of the subdivision will see 378 units built, 64 more than the 314 in the original plan. A public meeting on the issue July 11 attracted a crowd to council chambers with several residents of the area speaking out in opposition to the increased densification. Since that time the developer has made one amendment to the application. Campanale has withdrawn the request to change five single detached lots fronting on Tom Gavinski Street from Leo Moskos Street south to detached housing. Those lots will remain zoned for single detached dwellings. Town staff said that since the change was minor and of less impact than the proposed amendment, they would not recommend another public meeting on the issue. The new breakdown for the subdivision sees the number of single detached homes going from 161 to 95, townhomes from 75 to 158 and bungalow townhomes from 78 to 123. In a recorded vote, called by the Mayor David Reid, councillors Dan Lynch, Lynn Grinstead and Frank Dugal and Reeve Walter Stack voted for the changes. Voting against were Reid and councillors Tom Burnette and Ted Strike.

The final bylaw will come back to council for approval at its next meeting Sept. 12. Reid made it clear that he could not support the changes. He was also disappointed the provincial policy is not clearer on what is required when it comes to the mix of homes required. “It comes to council as to what we feel is the appropriate mix,” said Reid. “Hopefully they will have a new plan soon.” ‘TOO LENIENT’

ate the willingness to reduce,” said Stack. “For us the real issue is to get the official plan bylaw debate consistent, so we can be agreeable on the standards. I support the request.” Grinstead said she also wrestled with the proposal. “You don’t have anything in stone until the foundation is poured,” said Grinstead. “If you have vacant land it can be developed and the person who owns it can change it. “I have a hard time voting against it. If it goes to board appeal it can be overturned.” Both councillors Strike and Burnette were against the changes because of parking concerns and snow removal issues. “I am certainly not in favour of infill,” said Burnett. “I think we will create more problems with parking and snow removal.” Dugal supported the request. “If people look at what’s being proposed and they don’t like it, they can go somewhere else,” he said. “It’s a whole new section.”

Reid said he had done his homework on the mix of houses in neighbouring townships. And showed slides comparing Arnprior to Renfrew, Petewawa, Kemptville, Carleton Place and Arnprior. “Arnprior is by far the most lenient on townhouses,” said Reid. “We are too lenient now and it needs to be looked at. “We got to be careful what is approved … will that be the new zoning bylaw. If it is, that would be troubling. I’m troubled this will beLIFESTYLES CHANGING come the new standard.” Stack also cited the lack of direction in the That called for a passionate objection official plan and zoning bylaw review. from the mayor. “I too have spent time looking at it and I “What they (neighbours) are getting is not have tried to note the objections … I appreci- what they saw (in the original plan),” said Reid. Stack noted that the cost of home ownership is swinging from $240,000 to $400,000

for townhomes to singles. “I think that (townhomes) will be the lifestyle,” said Stack. “I think Arnprior will have to realize we are not immune to that. I think the trends are changing.” Grinstead said she sympathized with people who had already purchased their homes in the area. “I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes,” said Grinstead. “But until the developer pours (foundations), they have the right to request changes.” VILLAGE TOWNHOUSES

Arnprior council has another major decision to make regarding a request to increase the number of townhouses in a development. Council held a public input meeting into the Village Creek Subdivision on Aug. 22 when more than 20 people packed council chambers. A number of residents spoke, voicing their opposition to increasing the number of units from 272 to 298 including recducing the number of singles from 119 to 87 and boosting semi-detached from zero to 58. Residents were concerned with the increased congestion in the neighbourhood, water pressure and that the plan was changing from when people originally purchased their homes nearby. The matter is set to come back in front of council at its next meeting on Sept. 12.

Grove redevelopment key element in Arnprior age-friendly effort Staff

The push for a much needed expansion of the Grove Nursing Home has begun in earnest. The Greater Arnprior Seniors Council (GASC) made a presentation to provincial Government and Consumer Services Minister MarieFrance Lalonde on Aug. 18, appealing for support for plans to increase the number of long-term care beds in the Grove. The council’s proposals also include building 20 to 30 affordable seniors accommodation in Arnprior and expanding seniors services such as assisted living and an adult-day program. The Grove Redevelopment initiative is linked to Arnprior’s AgeFriendly Community plan of action. The presentation to Lalonde, the MP for Ottawa-Orleans, was made at a meeting in Ottawa by Grove Redevelopment Task Force chair Chris Havey, Arnprior Regional Health CEO Eric Hanna, and Greater Arnprior Seniors Council chair Darrel O’Shaughnessy. They stressed that the Grove redevelopment project is critical in helping establish Arnprior as an age-friendly community and emphasized that Arnprior and area deserves equitable access to long-term care. O’Shaughnessy’s presentation focused on Arnprior’s Age-Friendly Community Plan. Following are excerpts of his address to Lalonde: “The Town of Arnprior has developed and is currently in the process of implementing an Age-Friendly Community (AFC) Plan of action. As you are aware, an AFC is one where policies, services and structures related to the physical and social environment are designed to support and enable older people to live in a secure environment, enjoy good health and continue to participate fully in their communities. “Our plan has taken almost two years to develop and has been successfully achieved through the hard work and dedication of our communities at large – it certainly proved to be a community engagement initiative to say the least. “Most importantly, it was developed in consultation with the full

range of seniors. We reached out to WELL FIT seniors, seniors requiring some assistance and others needing 24-hour support. “It became very clear to us during the planning phase that Arnprior is a community where seniors have watched their loved ones grow up, and it is a community where they wish to grow old. “As a result, 15 goals emerged from the planning process addressing priorities related to infrastructure, services and engagement. “In addition, the plan highly recommended the establishment of a seniors council to support the plan and serve the Greater Arnprior community by creating an age-friendly environment through advocating for enhanced facilities and infrastructure, a range of senior focused services and supports, along with serving as a connection for various seniors groups and organizations, and forming a community culture that fosters positive engagement and active lifestyles. “We are so fortunate to have a council that is well informed, totally committed to the tasks at hand, and fully invested in our communities. “Ms. Lalonde, one of our key objectives is to help move forward the redevelopment of the Grove to increase the number of long-term care facilities in the Greater Arnprior region. As a seniors council we are concerned, and, if I may add, a bit fearful that the existing 60 licences with associated capital dollars for the development that the Grove currently has will expire in 2025 if the Grove does not build a new home that meets current Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care

standards. “The redevelopment of the Grove to increase to 96 long-term care beds will also complement our plan for 20-30 affordable seniors accommodation, and help increase seniors programming such as assisted living and an adult-day program, which is so important to us and to the wonderful communities that we serve. “We firmly believe that the Grove Redevelopment will go a long way in helping to ensure that more residents of the Arnprior region have a place within their community where they can grow old. “I relocated to Arnprior from Western Canada four years ago mainly because the Ottawa Val-

ley is a safe and clean place to live and is strategically situated close to Ottawa and home to some of the best health care professionals in the world. “My wife and I plan to grow older here and eventually die here. And, during this time we will, without a doubt, require access to long term care facilities, hopefully in the Arnprior area, and hopefully close to our children here in the Valley. “I also want to tell you one more story Ms. Lalonde. I know of one particular family whose husband has Alzheimer’s and is currently in a long term care facility in Ottawa - only because our facilities in Arnprior are full. She visits him almost every day.

“Today, she is so stressed because this winter she may not see him again. She is simply fearful about driving back and forth to Ottawa in winter. These wonderful people are in their 80s. “We identified so many other stories along these lines in the Greater Arnprior Region – older people being forced to continually drive back and forth between either Ottawa or Pembroke. “As chairman of the Greater Arnprior Seniors Council and as a representative of this team, I formally request your support Ms. Lalonde in helping our seniors in the Greater Arnprior area receive fair and equitable access to longterm care.”

Shotgun-toting thieves victimize Upper Dwyer Hill resident John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

For the second time this year, a resident is their 60s has been the victim of a home invasion in the Upper Dwyer Hill-Ritchie Side Road area just east of Arnprior. Ottawa Police Services report two males armed with a long-barelled shotgun entered a rural home on Upper Dwyer Hill road at about 4:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 22, threatened a woman in her early 60s and stole a number of items. The victim was not injured, unlike the incident on Jan. 5 in the same area in which a man in his 60s was brutally assaulted and robbed by two men who broke into his home. In the latest incident, the woman was home alone when she heard a knock at the door. She then encountered two male suspects who had entered the home. Police report one suspect was armed with the firearm and the other made a demand for cash. The suspects stole an undisclosed quantity of cash, jewelry, the victim’s cell phone and her vehicle keys. The two men then fled in the victim’s vehicle. A short time later, the black Dodge Caravan was reported being driven erratically along Highway 417 eastbound toward

Ottawa. It was found abandoned several hours later in a parking lot on Silver Seven Road in Kanata. The two suspects are described as follows: black male, 20-30 years old, 6’0” (183 cm), slim build, wearing dark clothing and a baseball cap;black male, much shorter, about 5’6” (168 cm), slim build, and ‘dread-lock’ styled hair, wearing dark clothing. While Ottawa Police said while they believe the victim in the January home invasion was targeted, “at this time there is no indication that the victim, or the address, was specifically targeted (in Monday’s attack).” The Ottawa Police Service Robbery Unit is investigating the home invasion and is seek-

ing the public’s assistance in identifying the suspects responsible. Anyone with information regarding this robbery, or any other robbery, is asked to call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or by downloading the Ottawa Police app. The Jan. 5 home invasion took place in the same area. Ritchie Side Road runs off Upper Dwyer Hill Road just west of the Mississippi River between Galetta and Kinburn Side roads.

The male victim, who was also alone when the attacked happened, was rushed to hospital with serious injuries after the attack, which happened about 8 p.m. Among the several items stolen were keepsakes of the victim’s deceased spouse. The two suspects in that case were described as males, dressed all in black, 20 to 35 years old, about 5’8” to 5’10” (173 to 178 centimetres) tall. No arrests have been made.

notice Water main FlUSHing – almonte WarD Sept 12 – oct 21

The Corporation of the Municipality of Mississippi Mills will be flushing the water mains in all areas of Almonte Ward beginning Monday, September 12th, 2016 to Friday, October 21st, 2016, during the hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. (excluding weekends). This annual maintenance program is designed to remove the sediment that has accumulated in the water mains to maintain good water quality in the distribution system. This maintenance procedure is required under the Provincial Legislation and may result in temporary inconveniences to you such as reduced water pressure or red (discoloured) water. • Reduced water pressure should only be intermittent as the hydrants are being flushed. The pressure will return to normal once the flushing is completed. • If you detect discoloured (red) water, turn off your tap for 20 to 30 minutes; this should allow work crews enough time to complete the flushing. When work crews have left the area, turn on one COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush the system. • Discoloured water may occur in close proximity to the watermain flushing or many blocks, even kilometres away, depending on various factors such as their supply main size, location and demand flows. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict the location and extent of the customers that may receive discoloured water. • Residents who live in the areas being flushed may want to collect containers of water for drinking and cooking, each day before the flushing program starts. • We recommend that you do not drink or wash laundry with red water. We appreciate your patience while this work is being completed and if you would like more information, please call the Roads & Public Works Department at 613-256-2064 and speak to Rod Cameron, ext. 232 or Cindy Hartwick ext. 258.

Construction updates Enbridge Gas has laid pylons, above along a major road in Arnprior in anticipation of watermain and asphalt replacement. The town is overseeing watermain improvements on Daniel Street between Charles and Michael streets. Daniel will be narrowed and temporary lane closures in place. Work at intersections will require temporary detours for access to Charles, Galvin, Robert and Harvey streets. The town advises motorists to expect delays. Meanwhile, sidewalks wide enough to drive a vehicle along have been installed along some parts of John Street. They are meant to allow restaurants the option of patio service.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Thirsty for answers Whew. August is over and after a tough month Arnprior residents can breathe easier. But can they? Until the reason for the two-day water ban is made public, there will still be an air of uncertainty surrounding the status of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that the water is unsafe. Tests show itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine to drink. However, when residents are told the cause of the disruption of service on Aug. 10 to 12 is either not yet known for sure or isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to be released, then there is a fear that the problem could happen again. Especially with so much watermain work continuing around town. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine to conduct exhaustive studies and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;modellingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, whatever that is, to find the problem. But the town must have a fairly good idea of what precipitated the water ban. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural town staff and council want to know with absolute certainty what caused the outage before coming to conclusions, surely it could release some general information to the public as to what went wrong. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t related to the downtown revitalization project work

downtown, but instead to work in the Havey Street area. But we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much more than that. So the speculation and rumours continue to mount and the conspiracy theorists are having a field day. Some theories are way out in left field, but most citizens have legitimate questions and suspicions as to why they had to do without town water for more than 48 hours on two of the hottest days of the year. For the most part, Arnprior residents faced the crisis like troopers, pulling together by helping the most vulnerable and persevering in the face of adversity. The town has recognized that and issued a heartfelt thank you to its residents for reacting so well in the face of a loss of their water. Good for the town. Showing appreciation and giving credit where credit is due is welcome. However, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t override the fact that what most Arnprior residents really want and deserve are answers. The town should make every effort to quickly get to the bottom of the water disruption and let its residents know why it happened as soon as possible.

opposed to environmental protection in any way shape or form. As property owners, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure you are one as well, we have a lot of investment in our properties. We all want clean water, we want healthy vegetation, we want healthy forests â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our survival depends on it. What we are objecting to are the land designations that are being assigned to our private properties, without our knowledge and our consent.

everybody is led to believe. The intent behind all of this is to restrict property owners - deny them the use of their land to the point the land becomes useless to them, decreases in value and the property owner is forced to relocate elsewhere. That is the issue. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a property owner, you know yourself no one has any legal right to make any change to your private property unless you give them the authority to do so; and if in agreement with that, it would have to be registered on Title at the Land Registry Office â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: +PIO $BSUFS KPIO DBSUFS!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: %FSFL %VOO EFSFL EVOO!NFUSPMBOE DPN

Restrictions threaten rural communities Continued from page 8

Further, with respect to clean waters … it’s come to my attention that septic waste haulers are dumping human waste into the Ottawa River daily at the pulp mill in Quebec and as well other trucks are seen from Hwy 17 near Arnprior dumping toxins of some sort into the river. This ‘news’ seems of no surprise to our political officials and appears to be ‘acceptable’. Our waste treatment plants are supposed to be filtrating cleaner water back into the lake then what they got out … but they’re not. Yet property owners and farmers near waterfront are being accused of irresponsibly contaminating our lakes and rivers, so now the province sees fit to put restrictions on those properties. Steadily we are hearing on the news from the County Health department (under direction from the MOE), “the lakes or rivers are not safe to swim – green and blue algae from contamination.” What do you suppose all this ‘advertising’ does to the value of

these property owners? The same thing will happen to all these ‘land designations’ applied against rural properties. Look at the hydro rates – the highest in North America. All these ‘innovative methods’ created to force population decline from the rural areas. Last fall Kathleen Wynn sold 486 acres of land in Niagara Falls area for a $1 billion development investment to Chinese foreign investors - 13 acres of that including provincially significant wetland, with plans to relocate them elsewhere. The city of Ottawa did a similar thing where they built a huge development that included wetlands. They drained the swamps, violating their own legislative acts that you or I would be thrown in jail for, and then created, on paper, new wetlands against 60 property owners in Goulbourn Township who never had wetlands in the first place. Wind turbine companies are exempt from the Endangered Species Act, so it’s acceptable for them to

kill millions of birds along with forcing the earthworm from the soil as well as other animals due to the vibration in the ground from the turbines. And last but not least, a Dalton McGuinty report of 2003 created as a blueprint for the province to shut down small, rural and remote communities in Ontario. Strategies created for ‘planning decline among existing communities’, ‘restricting further settlement expansion not guaranteeing access to public services’, ‘creating innovative methods of planning for downsizing’. Think about some of the ‘public services’ we’ve already had ‘shut down’ over the past 13 years. The province owns 87 per cent of the land mass in Ontario – private property owns 13 per cent. So when you begin to put the pieces of the puzzle together, what do you suppose the big picture really is for Renfrew County? Donna Burns, president Renfrew Nipissing Pembroke County Landowners

A howling success for Algonquin and Bonnechere visits

This past weekend I conducted Wolf Howls for Algonquin and Bonnechere Provincial parks. For both events, following my presentation on Eastern Wolves (the small wolves residing in Algonquin), participants headed out into the wilds where I tried to elicit responses from wolves. At this time of year, Eastern Wolves are at rendezvous sites, which are open grassy areas where the pups are left while the adults go hunting. Beaver meadows are popular rendezvous sites (named thus because pups and adults reunite or rendezvous regularly). The Algonquin event was held at Achray on beautiful Grand Lake. The night was delightfully dark with constellations and planets punctuating the blackness while the Milky Way blazed a pathway across it. At only our second stop, a pack of wolves responded to my howls. They were distant and we tried to get closer, but the wolves seemed on the move, and despite several attempts from other locations they were not heard again. Still, we heard wolves and were treated to a breathtaking visual show, one that included several shooting stars, high above us. The Bonnechere Howl was held under very different conditions. Clouds hid the sky, but there was no wind. Wind makes hearing wolves difficult, especially if they are distant, but it was calm and we knew that if wolves

did respond, even if several kilometres away, they would be heard. Although the presentation was given in Bonnechere Provincial Park, the group, which this year numbered more than 150, travelled up Turners Road into Algonquin, a mere 15 kilometres away. We stopped at several sites along the road where historically wolves have howled back at me. After a few unsuccessful attempts and with a light drizzle sputtering on and off, we left Algonquin. But we made one final stop along Turners Road before it reached Highway 62 where to the north resided an old airfield. We stopped at this site because there had been a report of wolves howling from there the previous night. After only a couple of my howls, wolves answered back from the north. It was a spectacular response, with a couple of adults starting off the reply and a large group of pups quickly joining in. Adult Eastern Wolves vocalize with long, deep howls that rise and fall, but they do not

However, Eastern Wolf pups loudly yip and yap, creating a cacophony not unlike that made by a pack of coyotes. Normally, a response by a full pack of wolves lasts about 30 seconds. However, this reply went on and on, lasting close to a full minute, as if the wolves were making up for the lack of a spectacular night show overhead. The wolves – a mere half a kilometre away

- left every participant with a vivid, lifelong memory. The howls of wolves take us back to an earlier time in our past. They stir us in a way that no other sound in Nature does. They also tell us that we still have vestiges of wilderness in our area. May they continue to tell us that for generations to come. The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

End delay in saving American Eel from extinction; conservation groups Conservation groups are calling on the provincial government of Ontario to obey the Ontario Endangered Species Act (ESA) and begin implementing the recovery strategy for American Eel. Aug. 22 marked the two-year anniversary of the due date of the government response statement, a critical step in implementing the actions outlined in the species’ recovery strategy. On July 12, the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) wrote to Ontario Natural Resources and Forestry Minister Kathryn McGarry to inquire about the status of the government response statement. To date, no response has been received beyond an acknowledgement of receipt. Given the delay in issuing the government response statement and the perilous situation of this species in Ontario, conservation organizations are “deeply concerned” about the lack of urgency and transparency displayed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in addressing the issue. A second letter was submitted and can be found on-line at http://cwf-fcf.org. A wide variety of stakeholders including the province of Ontario

had been working to understand how to save the American Eel for years before the Endangered Species Act came into force in 2008. Several key organizations including the Canadian Wildlife Federation, Ottawa Riverkeeper, Ontario Rivers Alliance, and Ontario Nature have joined with CWF to mutually call for immediate government action. “As a group of concerned conservation organizations, we feel strongly that it is now time to get down to work and start implementing actions to recover this unique fish species,” says Nicolas Lapointe, CWF’s senior conservation biologist, freshwater ecology. “We are calling on the Government of Ontario to resolve any outstanding issues and finalize their response statement as soon as possible so that it can begin dedicating the necessary resources to support recovery of the American Eel. The survival of the species in Ontario depends on it.” The organization agree that the American Eel is in decline worldwide, but note that one of the most dramatic declines has occurred in Ontario, where the species is at less than one per cent of its historic abundance. In the Ottawa River,

grow to be the largest American Eel in existence. The conservation organizations point out that many options exist to help recover American Eel. Commercial fisheries in Ontario have now been closed, and several groups have assisted with efforts to trap and transport eels around dams. Eel ladders have been installed at two major dams on the St. Lawrence River, allowing juvenile eels to climb up and over these barriers.

American Eel was once the most common species, comprising up to 50 per cent of the river’s biomass. The entire global population is connected during spawning, when adults migrate from freshwaters ranging from Greenland to Venezuela to spawn in the Sargasso Sea near the Bahamas. Eels from the St. Lawrence River, Ottawa River, and Lake Ontario are particularly important to the global population. All eels found in these areas are female and they

Screens are being installed on one dam in the Ottawa River to keep adult females away from turbines. “However, much more needs to be done,” says the CWF. For example, Ontario’s recovery strategy calls for the installation of eel ladders to restore access to former habitats at a rate of 10 per cent every five years. The first five-year mark is quickly approaching in 2018, yet no ladders have been installed since the recovery strategy was published.

Pelican seen on Ottawa River These American pelicans enjoy relaxing on Lighthouse (or Seagull) Island on the Ottawa River. They were photographed in June on the island across from Stewart’s Bay between Sand Point and Castleford. Photographer Marnie Martin said she contact local wildlife expert Michael Runtz about the birds and he confirmed they were American White Pelicans and not usually seen in this area.

Wardens push for more natural gas, high-speed in rural areas Eastern Ontario’s rural communities need better natural gas, hydro and high-speed Internet services and lower policing costs. Those are some of the issues members of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) raised with provincial Cabinet ministers at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) annual conference held in mid-August in Windsor. Among the “significant issues” facing the region are the need to: • extend natural gas into rural communities for the residential and commercial sector: • bring improvements and expansions to the hydroelectricity transmission grid, on an urgent basis, to serve the growing needs

of businesses and industries across the region; • make mobile broadband services available to businesses and residents by closing the coverage and capacity gaps in the current cell networks, while building a first responder public safety network that can serve as a model for the provincial and federal levels; • urge the provincial government to focus on plans for growing rural Eastern Ontario’s economy rather than creating more barriers to development; • stem the rising tide of Ontario Provincial Police and other emergency services costs, which are impacting the ability to invest in local municipal infrastructure. “In the case of energy costs, they

are increasing at an unprecedented pace, with no end in sight, and the reality is that rural customers are shouldering a disproportionate burden compared to their urban counterparts,” said EOWC chair Peter Emon, who is Warden of Renfrew County. “High energy costs force families to choose between electricity bills and other basic necessities and services, posing a growing threat of ‘energy poverty’ across our region and the province. They also hurt the growth potential of our businesses, which have also expressed the urgent need to address grid reliability issues and high expansion costs.” As part of its advocacy work

during the AMO Conference, the EOWC delivered a written formal submission to the Ministry of Energy regarding the province’s next Long-Term Energy Plan. The submission includes recommendations around making the necessary infrastructure investments needed for the expansion of energy systems; bringing a reliable flow of natural gas and electricity to rural and remote areas of Eastern Ontario; and advocating for more affordable energy solutions for rural Ontario. “We also spoke directly with Ontario ministers about other concerns that create significant financial burdens on municipal budgets, such as the rising cost of policing and emergency services, the broken

interest arbitration system contributing to those escalating costs, and the current legal system known as joint and several liability that holds municipalities financially responsible for issues often out of their control and jurisdictions, and raises their insurance premiums,” said Emon. “Municipal taxpayers are increasingly realizing that local governments cannot continue to manage these costs and that the Province must take action on these issues to ensure we can continue to fix our roads, bridges and water systems,” he added. The EOWC represents 13 counties and single-tier municipalities and 90 local municipalities across rural Eastern Ontario.

Town ‘thankful’ for support, patience of community in recent water crisis The Town of Arnprior has issued a public thank you to all volunteers, organizations, businesses, town staff and municipalities that provided and offered assistance and support during the Aug. 10-12 water ban. Over the about 48 hours that Arnprior was under a drinking water advisory, the Town estimates that it distributed more than 75,000 litres of water, served over 5,800 resi-

dents and delivered water to over 600 households for people were unable to attend the Nick Smith Centre. The Town says its ability to quickly and efficiently provide residents with an alternate source of water “would not have been possible without the assistance of many.” The Town also thanked its residents who exercised patience, understanding and lent a

helping hand to family members and neighbours. “We are grateful to be part of such an amazing community that comes together in times of need,” says the town thank-you. “When faced with a challenge, the Arnprior community showcased their dedication and support in so many ways. We are fortunate to have had the assistance of the many volunteers, businesses, corporations, mu-

nicipal neighbours, town staff and organizations during this time of need.”The town issued a special thank you to Giant Tiger, Pepsico, Metro, M. Sullivan and Son Limited, No Frills, Nelson Water, Mike’s Hardware, Beauman Waste Management, Russ Keenan Water Truck Service, Arnprior Home Hardware, Arnprior Milano’s and Arnprior Braeside McNab Seniors-at-Home.

The Renfrew Fair is welcoming Canada’s reigning country queen on Friday, Sept. 9 at 8 p.m. Jess Moskaluke has been crowned the 2014 and 2015 Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) Female Artist of the Year and was nominated again for the award this year. It will be a busy weekend for Moskaluke as the awards are handed out the same weekend as the fair and she says it will be a whirlwind few days. “It’s very humbling to be nominated, we have such a great collection of female artists, previously there has been Terri Clark, Carolyn Dawn Johnson and Beverly Mahood and now there is a whole new generation of younger artists,” said Moskaluke. “Judging by the talent it looks like country music is in good hands. They will always be Canada’s queens but we are in really awesome hands.” She is also nominated for interactive artist of the year and video of the year. Moskaluke has not played in the Renfrew area before but is looking to make some new friends. “I look forward to every show. I’m sure it will be great,” said Moskaluke. “They can expect a high energy show and we will play a lot of songs they know and some they don’t know.” Moskaluke’s first single ‘Cheap Wine and Cigarettes,’ gave her the title of the first female Canadian

country solo artist, since her childhood idol Shania Twain to achieve gold status. “It’s pretty crazy, I grew up listening to her, she is my absolute favourite and to be lumped in with her is just astounding. I never pictured that,” said Moskaluke. This year she has had not one but two top 10 hits with ‘Kiss Me Quiet’ and ‘Take Me Home,’ and her new song ‘Elevator’ is climbing the charts. As to her favourite song to perform live, she challenges the crowd. “I guess you will just have to come and find out,” said Moskaluke. “I have a different favourite song every night and it depends on the crowd and their energy.” Moskaluke has toured Canada with Chad Brownlee, Dean Brody and Paul Brandt and has played on some of the biggest stages across Canada, including the Calgary Stampede, Boots and Hearts and Big Valley Jamboree. “It’s pretty fantastic getting up in front of that many people, it’s an indescribable feeling,” said Moskaluke. “I fell in love with singing and performing. From one place to another it doesn’t matter where it is, I enjoy it.” She says it is just different from one stage to the next. “It’s fun to do arenas and it is fun to strip it down,” said Moskaluke. “I am really looking forward to the show and I hope to see everyone there.” Jess Moskaluke will be performing at the Renfrew Fair on Friday, Sept. 9 on the main grandstand.

Next Generation Leahy perform at Renfrew Fair on Thursday petitions to play,” said Doug. “Every night we tell people about the Ottawa Valley and where this type of dance originates from.” They are very much looking forward to the show in Renfrew. “It is awesome to be invited to the Valley to play. We are honoured to be asked,” said Doug. “Our lifestyle is similar to the Valley, farming, small towns and big families.” Adele enjoys performing on stage with her five other siblings. “It’s a lot of fun, we get to do a lot of things together, it is nice to travel and see everything together,” said Adele. The siblings normally practise a couple of times a week together and everyday individually as well as balancing their homeschool work. Doug calls it fantastic that they get to travel the world as a family. “I get amazed at what the kids do and how much they enjoy it,” said Doug. “Even our youngest Eliza, who just turned one, when she hears the music she starts to clap and move.” Adele says one of her favourite song to perform is their closing number called Harvest Dance. “In that piece I play the fiddle and my brother Gregory plays the accordion. It’s upbeat and really fun to perform.” The group is coming off a busy summer as they just finished performing at the Milwaukee Irish Fest, one of the biggest in the world. “It was a lot of fun with tons of different bands,” said Adele. So don’t forget to step on over to the main grandstand stage at the Renfrew Fair on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 8 p.m. to catch the Next Generation Leahy.

A group that calls themselves very familiar with the Ottawa Valley will grace the grandstand at the Renfrew Fair on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 8 p.m. The Next Generation Leahy builds on over three generations of Leahy music. The group, made up of the children of Doug and Jennifer, and are really looking forward to playing the fair. The group brings fiddle, cello, French accordion, singing, piano and French-Canadian step-dancing alive on the stage. “It has a lot of energy, it’s very upbeat,” said the oldest member of the band Adele at 14. “But it is also slow and beautiful at times.” Doug Leahy says the comments they receive after they perform are very touching. “It puts people in such a joyful spirit,” said Doug. “We like it for a lot of reasons so that’s rewarding to hear that.” The family is based at the Leahy homestead in Lakefield but have strong connections to the Ottawa Valley as their cousins the EnrightDonohue families from the Douglas area, also perform the same style of music. Doug says the Ottawa Valley holds a significant place in their family as their parents met at a fiddle contest in Barry’s Bay. “A lot of music and dancing comes from that area,” said Doug. And for a family who has travelled all over North America this year, one of their favourite shows it just up the line. “The Pembroke competition is the highlight of all the com-

Home. To date, 70 per cent of the fundraising goal for this project has been raised. “This concert will help us complete the first phase of this exciting project” said chief librarian Karen DeLuca. With a voice described as “warm, scratched, sad and sleepy,” Cardiff sings songs that expose the human condition, putting a magnifying glass to the clumsier and less proud moments. He can turn any setting into an intimate affair, infusing his music and lyrics with an uncompromising humanism. Cardiff makes it a point to keep the rela-

tionship with his fans personal, inviting and accepting any opportunity to make his audience as much a part of the performance as he is. Tickets cost $10 and available at the library for both the 3 p.m. matinee and the evening performance at 7. Kids 12 and under get in free.

Craig Cardiff will play 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. benefit shows at the Arnprior Public Library on Sunday, Sept. 11. SUBMITTED

Summer celebration at Arnprior Library Sophie Latreille performed a one woman circus show at the Arnprior Public Library on Aug. 24. The show was the finale for Arnprior’s TD Summer Reading Club. There were a total of 249 children had registered and logged 1349 visits to the library. Scott Campbell/ Metroland

Hot temperatures not an excuse to trespass Labour Day is fast approaching, and as people savour what is left of summer, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) reminds

them that their facilities are no place for recreation. Trespassing around hydroelectric stations

and dams can result in a hefty fine. “We have had a very hot summer and water levels are lower in many areas, which can make the water around our dams and stations look inviting. But these areas are never safe and I want to warn the public to ‘Stay Clear and Stay Safe’,” said Mike Martelli, OPG’s president

of renewable generation and power marketing. “Low water levels can also expose shoals and other underwater hazards. The areas around our facilities can be dangerous and conditions can change quickly.” Trespassing around OPG stations or dams is illegal and trespassers can be charged. Please visit www.opg.com/watersafety to learn more.

Officers from the Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged three youths with a number of offences following an incident near Clayton on Saturday, Aug. 27. OPP were called to a suspicious BMW SUV being driven in the southwest end of Mississippi Mills at 11:35 a.m. While responding, the officers received a further call about a vehicle matching the description of the suspect SUV that had rolled over into a field on Bellamy Mills Road. Three suspects fled the scene into nearby bush. The OPP immediately contained the area and initiated a search by members of the Emergency Response Team (ERT) and canine officers. Two suspects were located on foot and the third suspect who had fled on an All-Terrain Vehicle was subsequently arrested. The youths, two males and one female, are charged with one count each of break and enter and stealing a firearm, break and enter

to commit and indictable offence, taking a motor vehicle without consent, and possession of property valued over $5,000. One of the youths is also charged with three counts of failing to comply with a recognizance. All three youths were held in custody pending a bail hearing. Community support

The Lanark County OPP thanks the local community for its support and cooperation during the incident. Residents assisted in maintaining public safety by remaining at home, reducing travel in the area and reporting suspicious activity. OPP have not yet identified owners of some recovered property. Anyone who believes they may have been the victim of a crime connected to this incident but has not yet spoken with police is asked to contact the Lanark County Detachment OPP at the 1-888- 310-1122 toll-free number.

The Braeside Solar Energy Coop on Scheel Drive is ready to go live. The Braeside Coop currently has 60 members and has two 500-Kw ground mount gardens in the area. The second is on Mill Ridge Road.

Braeside Solar Energy Co-op ready to go live Great news is just around the corner for a local Solar Co-operative. In January 2013, the Braeside Solar Energy Co-operative (BSEC) was formed to participate in the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) Feed-in Tariff (FIT) Program. In 2014 the OPA merged with the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO). The fundamental objective of the FIT Program, in conjunction with the Green Energy and Green Economy Act, 2009 (Ontario) and Ontario’s Long-Term Energy Plan, 2013, is to facilitate the increased development of renewable generating facilities of varying technologies using a standardized, open and fair process. BSEC is participating in two 500-Kw ground mount Solar gardens. The first of these projects is

on Scheel Drive in McNab-Braeside. This project has been under development for the past few years and now is weeks away from going live and connecting to the grid. Once the Solar Garden begins to produce energy, it will contribute to local energy needs and Co-op members and investors will enjoy regular income from the energy production. The Co-op currently has 60 members and is actively looking to expand its membership. People can view activities and information about the solar projects at the website www.braesidesolar.com. The Co-op also has an Facebook page that everyone can visit. For more on membership and investment into the community solar project, can email braesidesolarenergycoop@gmail.com.

Benefit For William Gilchrist A HUGE Thank You to everyone who made it out to or was a part of Willâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Benefit. My hope for this benefit was to have Will see how many peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives he has touched and to have those people see that Will, no matter his injuries, is still the same happy go lucky young man he always was. By the overflowing show of support and the smile on his face all night, I believe it was an overwhelming success. No amount of money can buy that kind of motivation for someone who is still in the process of healing and for that we are eternally grateful. Words just can not express how blessed we are to be a part of such a generous and caring community. Love & Hugs, Brenda, Mike, William & Hunter Gilchrist.

Who passed away September 1st, 2015. Look up to the sky; now tell me what you see, A cloud, the moon, possibly the sun, Many answers there will be. When we look up to the sky, We’ll tell you what we see, We see Mom and she’s looking back at us. She tells us she didn’t want to leave us, But it was God’s time for her to depart; It was the hardest thing she had to do, And it’s breaking her heart. She tells us we mustn’t be sad, because finally she’s free; She’s found her place in heaven, underneath a blossom tree. She’ll always be there to guide us, when we feel we’ve lost the way; She’ll always be there to comfort us, and wipe away those tears away. She’ll always be there to share our joy, And laugh at the jokes we make; In order to feel her presence, only a little imagination it’ll take. She may be in the form of a butterfly, or simply a floating feather, Or hovering over like a busy bee, or simply part of the weather. One year ago, we said farewell, but for us it’s not goodbye; If we want to see her, all we have to do, is look up to the sky. God has you in his care. We have you in our hearts. We miss you Mom Love The Family.

Arnprior Packers split first two exhibition games Scott Cambell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

It’s a win and loss for Arnprior Packers to start the season, even if the games don’t yet count for anything. The Packers hit the road to Richmond and lost 6-3 to the Royals on Aug. 23 to start their first set of exhibition games. The Packers were down 3-0 after the first period but were able to get on the board in the second with Jack Rouleau and Payton Jardine the goal scorers. The Royals stayed ahead by scoring two more goals in the second period and then one more in the third to cement the win. Jacob Willard had Arnprior’s third goal. The action moved to Arnprior on the very next night. The Packers decided they didn’t want to lose again, and won easily against Richmond 8-2. The Packers easily ruled the second period, outscoring Richmond by 6-1. Mathew Labrosse netted two goals and Vinny Quattrochi, Dylan Curry, Jack Rouleau, John Ryan, Brad Richardson were the other scorers. The next set of home and away exhibition games is against Ottawa West Golden Knights on Aug. 30 and 31. The Packers official first regular season game is set for Friday Sept. 2 during the league showcase at the Kanata Sensplex. Arnprior’s first home game is Friday, Sept. 9 against Ottawa Canadians at 8 p.m. SIGNING

The Packers have announced the signing of four Hockey East Ottawa AAA U18 graduates this week. They included defensemen Andrew MacKinnon of Carp and Tyler Orban from Stittsville. Both played for Kanata U18. Forwards Payton Jardine from Fitzroy Harbour and Brad Richardson of Nepean are coming from Pembroke U18.

Put your golf practice in to theory If you spent the summer on the golf course learning the swing for the first time, why not sign up for Canadian Golf Teachers Federation certified member Wayne Thivierge’s theory class and learn the game. “A lot of beginners learn the game initially by watching their golf buddies play during a round,” said Thivierge, who is also a CPGA A Class associate. “But that’s how their golf buddies learned too. From properly marking a ball to pre-swing routines, I’m thinking, there might be some important information missing.” Thivierge is hosting a two-class program for those who were bitten by the golf bug recently and want to learn more about the game. “We’re going to learn theory and the essentials,” he said. “What’s in the bag, course management, simple stuff, but essential. I’ve attended

a similar class in Ottawa and the participants were very happy with it.” Participants can enrol in two classes held over a very flexible twoweek schedule for $25. Class openings are at 6 p.m., 7 p.m. or 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday Sept. 23 to Sept. 25. Classes will be hosted in the spacious Madawaska Golf classroom. With plenty of time left in the golf season, why not start seeing results before next year. For more information, or to sign up for Thivierge’s golf theory clinic, call 613281-2270.

Dandelion wine was just a fact of life at Mary’s house in Northcote We had been picking dandelion greens for days. We had to be careful to just take the leaves, letting the roots stay anchored. That was so they would regrow. And only the most tender part of the plants, the new leafs, making it easier for Father to cull through them, picking out only what he considered perfect for the job at hand. Eventually, the shelves in the cellar would have bottles of dandelion wine sitting right next to Mother’s cucumber pickles and raspberry preserves. And if it wasn’t for Uncle Herby bringing bottles from Bronfman’s Distillery where he worked in Montreal (sometimes full of what was brewed there, and sometimes just empty bottles for Father), he would have had to use any jars Mother hadn’t already put down on the shelf in the cellar. So by the time the wine was bottled, you wouldn’t know if it had been made in our kitchen out at Northcote, or bought from a real store, if there was such a place. Certainly, I never knew Father to come home with a bottle of liqueur for which he would have to spend hard earned money! Dandelion wine, and homemade beer were just a fact of life at our house in Northcote. We put the newly picked leaves in one of Mother’s clothes hampers, and it would take Father a whole evening, to take each one

out, examine it, and finding it suitable, put it in a big crock. He layered the leaves as if they were tiny pieces of paper until the crock was almost full. We had a lot of dandelions on the farm! Then he would take the big preserving kettle, which had been simmering away on the Findlay Oval, and cover the leaves with the boiling water. Some would float to the top, so Father would anchor them with a dinner place with a well scrubbed flat iron on top to hold everything down. Then the crock was moved to the bake table, where it sat for a few days, sending musty smells through the whole house, which I hated. Father never once looked in the crock while the leaves were slowly fermenting. “Don’t want to disturb them,” he’d say. And then after he figured they had been

he would take a spoon, dip it into the crock and say, “By gar, that’s good let me tell you.” Finally, after what Mother said the whole house smelled like a brewery, Father strained it, bottled it, and it would be moved to the cellar. All the time Father was making his wine, I would wonder if there would be a repeat performance of the two times never to be forgotten over the dandelion wine. Once, just sitting in the kitchen one night, minding our own business, we heard what sounded like gunfire coming from the depths of the house. Father knew immediately what had happened, and rushed outside and down into the cellar to retrieve the few bottles that hadn’t blown to bits. The other time, my brother Emerson decided to sneak a few sips, which turned into downing almost a whole bottle. Mother didn’t raise a hand to help him over his hangover and said she just knew he was going to turn into a complete alcoholic just like his Uncle Orville, but Father said, “That’ll make him into a man,” whatever that meant.

sitting there long enough, he scrubbed his hands until they were red (Mother saw to that), then squeezed hands full of the leaves until they were almost dry, piled them on a tray, emptied the water out of the crock, and dumped the mess into the largest cooking pot Mother had in the house. The pot was put on the stove, and I have no idea where the moisture came from, but within minutes you could hear the soggy dandelions simmering. Three oranges and a lemon would have been sitting on the bake table for days, an extravagance reserved only for winemaking. Father cut them into thin slices and added them to the simmering pot, with a few good dashes of ginger out of a Rawleigh’s tin from the cupboard. I could see Mother flinch as Father dumped a brown paper bag of sugar into the pot too. Then Father would go to his rocking chair, light his pipe, open the Ottawa Farm Journal, and wait. Finally, the pot was hauled to the bake table, and let cool right down until Father could add some yeast, which was bought to make bread and sticky buns. I knew Mother wasn’t at all pleased at all the money that went into Father’s dandelion wine. And there the crock would sit for days, while it fermented to Father’s liking. Often

Learning about Galilee Centre at Breakfast N’ Learn The July 27 Arnprior-BraesideMcNab Seniors at Home Breakfast N’ Learn at the Galilee Centre came with a special treat. After breakfast, participants went on a guided tour of the centre with Father Roy Boucher welcoming everyone and supplying historical notes on the facility while staff members Debbie Fougere and Phyllis Barton led the tour. The Oblates came to Canada in 1841 and to Arnprior in 1946 when they purchased the current property, then known as ‘the Hill’, which includes the historic Daniel McLachlin residence. It was in 1975 that the Galilee Centre was founded.

SUPPLIES NEEDED THIS WEEK: Paper towels, Lysol wipes & Cat Treats

End of summer and separation anxiety Labour Day, back to school and back to a full work schedule. The end of summer is just around the corner. Gone are the lazy days of summer spent on holidays with the family pet. One of the biggest problems a pet owner encounters at this time of year is separation anxiety, that nasty behaviour we see when we leave the house and Fido goes ballistic, chewing and destroying such things as pillows, couches, articles of clothing and even oneself. Here are some tips for making Fido’s transition from busy summer to home alone. When leaving for the day make sure Fido’s in a secure place. Leave a bowl of water and some treats stuffed inside various toys to distract them throughout the day. Stuffing

Pet Talk

IAN STUPP toys with foods like peanut butter and cheese whiz are a fun and delicious treat for your pet. Remove anything that you do not want your pet to have. If the area with which your pet is in lacks adequate lighting, leave a light on, also turning on the radio can be

comforting to your pet while you’re away. Remember that animals cannot tell time nor do they wear watches. They will be as excited to see you whether you return in five minutes or in five hours, therefore it is best to leave with out any fanfare. Don’t get mushy and give big hugs and kisses, as this outward behaviour confuses them and makes things worse. On the flip side, when you arrive home after a long day at work, spend some time with them. This is a great time to bond, as well, after a long hectic day at the office there is nothing more beneficial than being with a pet to lower one’s blood pressure. If you happened to purchase a puppy or kitten during the summer months and

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE

you are worried about leaving them behind, you can teach them to accept your absence by leaving them alone for a few minutes, than leave for a few hours building gradually to a full day. If all else fails, you can always hire a dog walker\sitter to look after Fido while you’re away. Just like little children, your pets have feelings to and although they cannot articulate how they feel, what they do when you’re away is there way of saying, Hey! I miss you guys and don’t like being left alone! Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North Arnprior. For comments or suggestions he can be reached at 613-623-6200 or wagswhiskers@hotmail.com.

Arnprior Community Choir set to begin new season September has arrived and the Arnprior Community Choir is busy getting ready to start its new season of making joyous choral music under its founding director of nusic Lisa Webber. Membership in the choir is open to all adults who love to sing and are willing to commit to the ‘team sport’ of choral singing. And don’t be concerned if you’re not sure whether you are a soprano, alto, tenor, or bass - Webber will help you decide. Should you decide to join the choir, you will be asked to make a commitment to attend all rehearsals held on Tuesday nights from 7:30 to 9:30 at the Arnprior Royal Canadian Legion Branch on Daniel Street. The rehearsals will be for public performances in December and May 2017 and for various presentations at community functions, fundraisers and seniors’ gatherings. But it’s not just all about rehearsing. Get-togethers, such as dinners and socials, are also held as a way for new members to feel welcome and to meet long-time choir members. Also, following on the success of last year’s workshop, choir

members will be able to attend another one-day music workshop and lunch to be held in November. And here’s an unknown fact about choir singing that might convince you to join: Research has shown that singing in a choir has many mental health benefits. Studies have found that when compared with singing alone or playing team sports, choristers stood out as experiencing the greatest benefit. Along with this benefit, members of the Arnprior Community Choir have said that they also feel healthier, create friendships, expand their understanding of various sorts of music and learn effective techniques of singing, with lots of fun thrown in, thanks to Webber. So if this interests you, please check the choir out at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Sept. 6 and 13 at the Arnprior Legion, 49 Daniel St. North. At the two rehearsals, you can participate and decide if you would like to register. LISA WEBBER/SUBMITTED Registration for the fall season Arnprior Community Choir is in full voice at its 25th Anniversary Concert in May. The choir is seeking new closes on Sept. 13. Fees are $60 members at two introductory rehearsals on Sept. 6 and 13 at the Arnprior Legion. for one session, and $110 for fall and spring sessions when paid in For more information, please communitychoir.com or call music 7293 or choir manager Marilyn September. visit the website at www.arnprior- director Lisa Webber at 613-623- Campbell at 613-624-5242.

challenges, both of which could result in difficulties regulating their emotions and behaviours. It is helpful to recognize that when one member of the family is struggling, the other members tend to be affected as well. It is often important to have some guidelines that can assist in starting everyone off with some level of preparedness. Planning ahead improves predictability, therefore, resulting in the development of a structured routine that gives the student a sense of security that results in better regulated emotions and behaviours. Consequently, your entire family benefits. ‘The Unknown’ can cause significant stress for many people, which is why preparing for back-to-school gives your student and the family a chance to gain some control that will decrease stress. It is not unusual for parents to express uncertainty and concerns about how their child will adjust to all of the new experiences such as the changes in classroom, teacher, classmates, and in school routine. Parents play a key role in recognizing and addressing potential mental health symptoms that their child may currently be experiencing, such as changes in eating habits, unpredictable mood swings with difficulty regulating emotions, changes in

sleep patterns and/or sudden behavioural changes. Parents (guardians) should take time to talk about how the student is feeling about going back to school. Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) offer students accommodations and specialized learning plans to allow the best possible learning potential and experience. The parents and/or student can work with their counsellor and teachers to create an IEP when needed. Students can often come up with some unique ways to improve and cope with their mental health, learning, and behavioural challenges, therefore, sharing can aid in improving the overall educational experience. Consult with a counsellor to create a list of self-help tools that can be brought to school and used for managing symptoms. It is important that students and parents are letting teachers know how they are using these distraction and selfhelp tools to stay focused, so the teacher can give approval and avoid drawing unnecessary attention in front of the student’s peers. Remember that some self-help tools can be used without anyone knowing you are using them. Some examples include a doodle pad, fidget toy, putty, essential oils

(e.g. Lavender is good for calming), deep breaths, relaxation music, positive selftalk, visualization exercise and a calming sensory object in the student’s pocket. Schedule and organize a daily routine. When school gets back into session, make sure that the student has access to regular visits with their counsellor, doctor, psychiatrist, developmental learning specialist, special educational services or whomever the student gains the best possible support from. The back-to-school sleep schedule is very important. Sleep is key to improving mental health, learning endurance, and focus. Disclaimer: These suggestions are not professional medical or educational advice, just things that have worked for real people and promote personal positive mental health and learning. It is always encouraged that you contact a health care provider, such as a doctor, to identify any potential health-related concerns. In the event of an emergency, call 911. Questions?

Take fire safety into account in student accommodation: fire department Parents have many issues, not the least of which is safety, to consider when seeking suitable accommodation for a daughter or son attending college or university. The Arnprior Volunteer Fire Department provides information sheets that can help families determine if potential accommodation is suitable when it comes to fire safety. The hand-outs also include information and helpful tips on fire safety for students “I understand it is a very exciting time for young adults, however they should take extra steps to ensure that they stay fire safe during the school year, as this important part of adult living may often be overlooked,” says Arnprior fire prevention/protection officer Cory Nicholas. “As students prepare to move into shared or rented accommodations to attend college or university, parents, guardians and students themselves should take an active role in finding a safe place to live,” he added. “It is essential for caregivers and students to talk about fire and life safety. Whether returning to school or leaving home for the first time, a discussion about good fire safety practices can help to ensure this exciting time in a student’s life is not marred by a fire tragedy.” The following is some of the information being shared by the fire department. Living safely 101 – What every student should know to prevent fire: Look While You Cook. Stay in the

kitchen when cooking – especially if using oil or high temperatures. If a pot catches fire, have a proper-fitting pot lid handy to slide over the pot and turn off the stove. Cooking requires constant attention. Distractions like televisions, cell phones or computers can lead to a tragic cooking fire. Candle With Care. If you use candles in your room or apartment, keep them away from anything that can burn and place them in a safe, sturdy holder with a glass shade or hurricane chimney. Place them where they cannot be knocked over and blow them out when leaving the room. Keep An Eye On Excessive Drinkers. Alcohol is a common factor in many fire fatalities involving cooking and smoking. Be aware of roommates and friends who have been drinking excessively, especially if they are cooking or smoking. Smoke Outside. Establish rules for smokers. If you permit smoking inside, use large, sturdy ashtrays that can’t be easily tipped over. Ashtrays should be emptied into a metal container not the garbage can. Check around furniture cushions after people have been smoking, especially if they have been drinking. Use Electricity Wisely. Toasters, coffeemakers and microwaves should be plugged directly into an outlet. If you must use an extension cord, buy one that is the correct gauge for the appliance and has a SA or UlC approval mark on the label. SA or ULC or approved power bars may be used for stereo equipment, computers and lights. Clear the Clutter. Keep things that burn away from heat sources such as stovetops, space heaters and electronic equipment. Tea towels and paper too close to burners

can catch fire. Keep space heaters at least one metre away from bedding, furniture and curtains. Plan To Escape. Know two ways out of your room/apartment in case of fire. Identify exits and make sure you can use them. If you live in a highrise, familiarize yourself with the building’s fire safety plan. If you discover fire, call the fire department from a safe location outside. Be Equipped. To stay safe, all students should put together a package that includes a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm, a battery powered lantern or flashlight and radio, extra batteries and a SA or ULC approved power bar. Beat the Silent Killer. Your room or apartment will require carbon monoxide alarms if there is a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace or attached garage. Check with your landlord to ensure that CO alarms have been installed adjacent to all sleeping areas. Working Smoke Alarms: It’s the Law. Your room or apartment must have working smoke alarms. Test them monthly and notify the landlord immediately if they’re not working. Dead batteries must be replaced right away. Nuisance alarms can be avoided by making sure smoke alarms are not located too close to the kitchen or bathroom. Consider getting a smoke alarm with a hush feature. Smoke alarms should be checked after any extended absence such as Christmas break and reading week. Never tamper with or disable a smoke alarm. For more information about fire safety in student accommodations, contact the local fire department or the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management at ontario.ca/firemarshal.

Provincial testing indicates literacy rates not improving Almost 20 per cent (23,745) of Ontario’s Grade 10 students were unsuccessful on the provincial literacy test this year. The results show that continued attention should be given to programs that support students with special education needs, says Ontario’s Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO). The EQAP published the results last week from the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT), written by about 125,000 Grade 10 students in March. It shows 81 per cent of Ontario’s Grade 10 students who participated fully on the OSSLT were successful on their first try. Over the previous four years, the overall success rate on the OSSLT varied between 82 and 83 per cent. Just over 50 per cent of all students with special education needs were successful on the test in 2016 - a similar success rate to those in past

years. Of students with special education needs who were enrolled in the applied English course, 40 per cent met the literacy expectations assessed by the test in Grade 10. Of the 21,952 students who were identified as having special education needs, 11,526 (53%) were successful on the test on their first try and 10,426 (47%) were unsuccessful. By comparison, of the 7,998 students with special education needs enrolled in the academic English course, 6,616 (83%) were successful and 1,382 (17%) were unsuccessful. “Considering the size and diversity of Ontario’s student population, more than eight out of 10 students consistently meeting the literacy standard on their first try is a fairly positive outcome for the publicly funded education system,” said EQAO chair Dave Cooke. “This shouldn’t cause anyone to rest on their laurels though. There’s certainly

room for improvement, and our students deserve no less.” “This year’s OSSLT results once again show that students with special education needs require specific attention and ongoing support for their

literacy development,” said EQAO CEO Bruce Rodrigues. Individual school and board reports for the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test will be released on Sept. 21.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A playful and generous spirit make you a favorite friend to have around, Aries. Many may be clamoring for your attention, and you do not know where to direct it first. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, uncertainty has you wondering about the direction in which your life may be going. It’s a time for reflection. Look to a parent or trusted advisor for guidance. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Romance may get in the way of logic this week, Gemini. This is sure to be exciting, but try to maintain your focus. Keep lines of communication with your significant other open. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, do your best to overhaul your finances. Some recent purchases might have made you vulnerable, and now is a great time to regain control. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a sudden burst of creativity will inspire you and others in the days ahead. Keep up the great work you’re doing, and don’t be afraid to take chances. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You are given to behaving selflessly, Virgo. But this week you can still help others and take your needs into consideration. Ask for help if you need it.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, resist the urge to overindulge in food or beverages this week. Good times are ahead and you want to be able to enjoy them to the fullest. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you’re focused on furthering your career, but responsibilities at home must be weighed before making a final decision. Don’t give up; just reevaluate your timing. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, rather than dreaming of faraway places, make a plan to travel. Establish a savings account or vacation fund and begin making your travel goals happen. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, gifts might start coming your way and you don’t understand all the generosity. Accept what is offered and recognize that you deserve it. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It’s easy to expect others to keep your pace when you have all of your ducks in a row, Aquarius. However, not everyone works on the same schedule that you do. Allow time to catch up. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, promising more than you can possibly deliver at this time will not win you any admirers. Others will appreciate your honesty. 0901
