Katie’s wish comes true Make-A-Wish Foundation delivers hot tub to local girl Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News - The love flowed as freely as the water in Katie Muldoon-Roy’s brand new hot tub. Wednesday, Aug. 27 was a very special day at the Muldoon-Roy home on Calabogie Road. Katie’s parents Meredith and Dan joined other family members, friends, Make-AWish Eastern Ontario officials and Sani-Sol Pool and Spa workers to see five-year-old Katie’s wish of having a hot tub realized. Katie lives with mitochondrial disease and intractable epilepsy and uses a wheelchair for mobility. She loves to swim and be in the water and that’s why a hot tub was a logical choice for her wish, say her parents. “It’ll mean Katie can float

and be free. She just loves water and she actually has more movement in water than she does against gravity,� said Meredith. “When she’s sitting in her chair she can move her arms and legs, but she can do so much more when she’s in the water. It’ll be good for her muscles.� Meredith is from the Arnprior area while husband Dan is originally from Sudbury. The couple was living in Sudbury when Katie was first born but being closer to CHEO and family soon brought the family back to the area. “Katie was born and she was healthy and at four months old she had seizures,� said Meredith. “And then we came and got treatment at CHEO and were there for just over a week.� They went home but soon returned to CHEO, where Katie was admitted for three

Arena eyed for McNab-Braeside

months to try and get her seizures under control. It was suspected, but the diagnosis of mitochondrial disease was confirmed when Katie was 18 months old. Katie is on a ketogenic diet for intractable epilepsy, which is epilepsy that is hard to control with medications. She sees 13 specialists at CHEO. Last year alone, the family made well over 100 trips to the hospital. The Muldoon-Roys are humble about the added challenge of having a child with special needs. “It’s a full-time job just like any other mom,� said Meredith. “Katie’s health is our priority. She is a regular kid in a lot of respects. She likes to watch TV, except she does a lot of it doing therapy.�

News – McNab-Braeside is one step closer to having a sports complex built in the township. Among council’s correspondence at its Aug. 26 meeting was an announcement from Dr. Bruce

Firestone that Power Play Sports has entered into a conditional land agreement with Milnerlea Properties to purchase 10 acres next to the township office for the purposes of building a new arena complex.

The agreement is conditional upon severance of 10 of the 50 acres that make up the property. The proposal is for an arena complex that includes retail components.

Beware head lice, Arnprior parents warned john.carter@metroland.com

News – An Arnprior grandmother is urging parents to check their children for head lice as it appears it has spread like wildfire in town even before school returned. Linda Mooney reported last week that several youngsters she knows have been found with head lice. Another indication that the lice scourge

is widespread in the Arnprior area is that at mid-week both Shoppers and Rexal Drug Stores had sold out of the special shampoo used to treat the infestation, she said. Mooney said she hopes parents check their children’s heads before they return to school. It could really spread quickly if care isn’t taken, she noted. She suggested one reason that it has spread so rapidly before school came back in is the tendency for youth to put their

heads together for ‘selfie’ photographs. A call to the Renfrew and District Health Unit to find out if it had any data regarding whether head lice is any worse this year than usual proved fruitless. The health unit transfered the request call to the provincial health line, which was too busy to answer queries asking what to do about head lice. A promise to call back still hadn’t been made two days after the request.

News – Town of Arnprior snowplow operator Peter Headrick was runner-up in the annual Renfrew County Roads Supervisors Association Truck Rodeo Aug. 20. Headrick, of White Lake, finished second behind Gerry Phanenhour, an operator for the County of Renfrew’s southwest patrol. Mark McDonald, also from the county’s southwest patrol, was third in the competition that attracted 35 municipal truck drivers and snowplow operators from across the county. Phanenhour and Headrick will represent this area in the provincial competition, which will be hosted by Lanark County Sept. 10 at the Carleton Place Arena. It’s the first time two truck drivers instead of one from Renfrew County get to compete. The truck rodeos offer drivers the chance to test their skills as they compete by maneuvring heavy equipment around a tricky course that simulate some of the challenge they face during their work, especially in winter. Drivers also take a written test and are challenged to find defects in their equipment. It’s also an opportunity for the drivers to discuss their experiences on the job with others in the field.

News – Then there was seven. Art Smith has become the seventh candidate for the five councillor positions on Arnprior council. Fresh from a busy month organizing the White Pine Festival, Smith filed his papers Aug. 28. Smith has lived in Arnprior since 1982 and has been involved in several organizations, most prominently in the Arnprior Lions. More recently, he has been a major push behind the White Pine Festival. He was awarded a Jubilee medal last year for his volunteer service. Smith joins incumbents Lynn Grinstead, Dan Lynch, Ted Strike and Lyle Anderson as well as Doug Smith (no relation) and Frank

Town watches recreation dollars closely Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Arnprior parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur has given a mid-year update to town council on recreational programs impacted by the absence of a services agreement with the Township of McNab-Braeside. The Nick Smith Centre is down about $7,000 from that budgeted, which came as something of a relief to some on council concerned it could be much worse without the

township’s $35,636 contribution from 2013. Arthur chalked it up to staff finding ways to cut costs. “Give our staff credit for what they are doing on cost savings,� he said. However, it remains to be seen if users are willing to absorb the additional fees for minor hockey, ringette, figure skating and other programs. After September, when much winter registration takes place, the recreation director will have a better indication of the loss.

News – OPP issued the annual reminder urging motorists to exercise care as excited students returned to school this week. The six public and Catholic schools in Arnprior and McNab-Braeside opened for a new school year on Tuesday after the Labour

Make-A-Wish girl’s parents praise CHEO’s ‘exceptional care’ Continued from front

Katie likes to colour and paint, help her mom in the kitchen and play with her dog. She also attends preschool at the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre in Kanata a few times a week. Katie skis in the winter at Calabogie Peaks and the family is exploring the possibility of horseback riding She uses a standing frame for exercise and as far as communication goes she is the youngest child in Ottawa and the valley to use a Dynavox eye gaze frame – a computer that reads her eye movement.

“She picks out what she wants to say using her eyes, which is a wonderful skill for her,” said Meredith. “Her comprehension is the same as any other five-year-old it’s just she can’t express it in the same way.” Meredith, who has a background as an occupational therapist and Dan, a teacher, expressed their gratitude for the support of their family and friends, and in particular the medical care they’ve received.

ordinator Annie Stiles said she was thrilled to be part of making Katie’s wish come true. “I have the best job in the world,” said Stiles, who said she often borrows a co-worker’s concept when explaining the experience. “It’s like being Oprah – you get a hot tub and you get a hot tub!” She continues to be impressed by the people with whom she comes in contact. “The families we meet are so fantastic,” she said. “And Make-A-Wish really brings the community together. The Muldoons are a great family. Everyone wants to join in and give. With the help of Sani-Sol, Marquis Spa, Murray Crogie at Town and Country Forming LTD and, of course, Tysen’s Mission to a Million we were able to grant this little princess her wish.” Stiles praised all those who helped, including Tysen and his Mission to a Million. “Tysen and his team have been doing absolutely amazing things. They have worked so hard to make wishes come true,” she said. Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario is affiliated with Marquis, a Sani-Sol Pool and Spa supplier. Phil Tanguay and Randy Fowler of Stittsville-based Sani-Sol installed the hot tub and had it up and running by 11 a.m. Being a part of making Katie’s wish come true is an experience neither will soon forget. “This isn’t my average day on the job,” said Tanguay. “We are happy to help. It feels great to be here.”

News – The County of Renfrew wants a seat at the table during the Chalk River privatization talks. The federal government is restructuring Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), including its nuclear laboratories near Petawawa, to include a group of private companies to run the operation. It’s not an open tender, but that doesn’t concern county government members who spoke to Arnprior council earlier this summer. Warden Peter Emon said only a handful of groups could take over an organization the size of AECL, so ensuring transparency and the highest bidder wins is not the priority; it could even dissuade some from participating. Emon added that having a local representative involved in the process means knowledge of Renfrew communities and people will inform decision makers. “This (deal) is very important to our local community and we

The county’s economic development manager, Alistair Baird, joins Warden Peter Emon at an Arnprior council meeting. The two shared the county’s request for inclusion in talks that will see the nuclear facility in private hands by next summer. should have a seat at the table,” Emon said. Asked after the meeting if area MP Cheryl Gallant is championing the county’s cause, Emon said she is cautious about them stating preferences during talks. She is also “nervous” and stood back because the county doesn’t often lobby the federal government. However, overall she has represented the county well on the issue. One preference the county is pushing for is the creation of a

National Science and Technology Laboratory in Chalk River to work with the private sector and educational institutions. It would support science and technology missions and support government requirements for nuclear science knowledge. “We feel the government of Canada has not supported the nuclear industry sufficiently enough in the past,” he said. “They have thrown some money at it, but Canada led the world in the 1980s and 1990s. But noone

would know it outside Canada.” The county also wants the federal government to co-invest in a new nuclear research reactor in Chalk River. The current reactor is old and should be replaced. “If the federal and provincial governments can find $700 million for the auto industry, there is no reason they can’t find a third each (with the private sector) for a new reactor,” Emon said. A third preference is to create a Community Commitment Plan that would include a business incubator and tourist information kiosk near Highway 417. It will provide space for industry and educational institutions, and act as an outreach centre. “We think the government has been way too quite about our successes,” Emon said, adding Canadian scientists are not free to discuss any successes but that in the U.S. “They are very good at publicizing what they’ve done.” A fourth preference is to have bidders state how they would incentivize local procurement to ensure a significant percent-

He said the federal government has been open and frank discussions have taken place, but there have been no commitments to date. The private group should take over next summer or fall.

OPP costing raw deal for rural areas Opinion - Sorry Kathleen, you may need to take this one back to the drawing board. The Wynne government has announced its new OPP funding formula to rave reviews for some namely, towns such as Arnprior and Renfrew but with concern from rural townships with McNab-Braeside and AdmastonBromley being among the most vocal. The new funding formula is supposed to make things more equitable and transparent. And who wouldn’t want to iron out wrinkles in a system that sees some homeowners paying more than $800 per household for policing costs, while others pay as little as $6? However, for Renfrew and Lanark counties anyway, and likely elsewhere around the province, all it has done is shift the weight of paying for policing from more urban and suburban areas, and placed it on the shoulders of rural areas. In some townships, policing costs are set to as much as double even with the five-year phase-in period. That could mean a 20 per cent tax increase come next year, when the new formula kicks in on New Year’s Day, 2015. That’s a fine welcome for newly-elected council members, who will have to decide whether to cut services or cut taxes, or a combination of both. It won’t be pretty. It’s not surprising that worried rural politicians in both Renfrew and Lanark counties are feeling each other out on the possibility of a regional or eastern Ontario police force, perhaps linked to Ottawa’s police service. On the other hand, politicians from the towns, with Arnprior Mayor David Reid taking

a major role, have been lobbying for change so some time now. They maintain their taxpayers have been paying an inordinate amount for policing for many years now, so it’s about time a fairer system is implemented. While they have a point, the shift in the costing burden is not only too dramatic, it doesn’t properly take into account the disparity between service levels and crime rates between in-town and out-of-town areas. As the mayors of McNab-Braeside and Admaston-Bromley argue, spreading 60 per cent of OPP costs equally among property-owners throughout the province is too high when their municipalities have, and need, a much lower level of police service than their more urban cousins. It’s easy to sympathize with the rural politicians, other than the few who continually insist police officers should come out to their areas much more often to curtail speeders, public boozers in the parks and beaches, and mischief-makers lurking around cottages and hunt camps. The new costing formula has swung too far and hits too hard on their ratepayers. As always in politics, there are winners and losers. But while we do not begrudge taxpayers in the towns finally getting some muchneeded relief and accept that some rural areas do need to shoulder a bigger share, making policing costs gobble up so much of a rural township’s budget is just as bad as the old downloading days of Mike Harris. So take the issue back to the drawing board, not for a major overhaul this time, but definitely for more tweaking.

Fishing lines discarded along Arnprior waterways hazard to birds To the Editor: I posted at the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide Facebook page a month or two ago regarding the dangers of cut and carelessly discarded fishing line after finding a dead starling hanging in a tree, completely entangled in fishing line, a bunch of lures hanging above in the tree. I’ve watched our visiting (actually Arnpriorite - they’re allowed to be native here, too, though you wouldn’t know it by the way they’re treated by the grand majority of the public here)

Third edition of ‘Ottawa Valley NEED A WEBSITE? history’ offered at Galilee Lifestyle – Ottawa Valley History will be front and centre at the Galilee Centre in Arnprior again this September as local historian Terry Currie presents ‘A History of the Ottawa Valley’, a six -part lecture series on local history. This will be the third time Currie has presented the series and each presentation has attracted a larger crowd. The last course in Arnprior drew more than 60 people. Currie is a native son of the rural Ottawa Valley, having grown up in Fitzroy township in Carleton County, now the City of Ottawa’s western fringe. In the ‘40s, when he was a boy, the countryside was full of small mixed farms. “Every hundred acres was a farm and most of the farms had a bunch of kids,” is how Currie puts it, recalling the swarm of neighbouring pupils who thronged the benches of the little oneroom school that all attended. It is his research into the

From

TERRY CURRIE origins of that Ottawa Valley society of his childhood that has led to Currie’s growth as a teller of the Ottawa Valley saga. His lectures are lively and interesting, “full of references to the Ottawa Valley landscape that we live in and, alas, little understand.” The series consists of six lectures of two hours each. They deal with Session One: the Physical Ottawa Valley; SessionTwo: the Coming of the Natives: Session Three: the Coming of the French; Ses-

all of us

sion Four: the Coming of the Scots; Session Five: the Coming of the Irish; and finally Session six; the Lost Nation of the Ottawa, a long look at the uniqueness and persistence of our Ottawa Valley Culture in music, language, architecture and much else. The lecture series is a fundraiser for the Galilee Centre; net proceeds go to the growth and maintenance of the centre’s spiritual and counseling functions. People who want to hear the Ottawa Valley story told with broad learning and cheerful insight can sign up by calling the Galilee Centre at 613-623-4242 or at the Arnprior Book Store, 152 John St. at 613-623-8800. The cost of the entire series is $50. Because of the restricted number that can be accommodated, no single session tickets will be offered. Those interested are urged to call this week as space is limited and the series has sold out both previous times.

Cars vandalized in area News – Car-owners continue to be targeted by thieves and vandals in the Renfrew and Arnprior areas, report the OPP. A vehicle parked at the Nick Smith Centre was scratched with a sharp object on Wednesday, Aug. 27 between 5 and 7 p.m. Several vehicles were hit by thieves with a variety of items, including wallets, stolen. Renfrew and Arnprior OPP officers are increasing patrols in problem areas and are asking the public to be vigilant of suspicious activity at night. Please report any suspicious people or activities to the OPP immediately at 1-888-3101122, they urge. Thefts from vehicles typically occur late at night, under cover of darkness, and often involved youths on foot or bicycles. The OPP remind vehicle-owners to “lock it or lose it” and protect their vehicles and con-

tents from theft with the following simple tips: • always roll up your vehicle’s windows, lock the doors and pocket the key; • never leave valuable objects or packages in full view. Put them in the trunk. If you can’t afford to lose something, don’t leave it unattended in an unlocked vehicle. The Renfrew OPP Detachment, which includes Arnprior, responded to 327 calls for service in the past 10 days prior to Aug. 28. Among them were 11 domestic disputes. One man was charged with choking, assault, domestic mischief and breach of probation. Last week a man was charged with being unlawfully in a dwelling, choking, three counts of assault, and three counts of domestic mischief. A second man was charged with assault, domestic mischief, and six counts of breach of a recognizance. A third was charged with disobeying a court order.

News – Arnprior and Renfrew area professional and support staff from ParaMed Home Health Care trekked to Ottawa Aug. 27 to picket outside the company’s area office in anticipation of what they fear will be a postLabour Day strike. ParaMed’s Renfrew County workers, members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) say they are upset at the company’s lack of willingness to seek a deal before the Sept. 2 strike deadline. ParaMed has told the workers it is only willing to bargain three days into a potential strike, according to an OPSEU news release. The 140 workers deliver home care and home support to clients throughout Renfrew County on behalf of the Champlain Community Care Access Centre. While the company has told the workers it has asked the CCAC to cease referring new clients in advance of the strike, new clients are still being sent to ParaMed’s Renfrew County operations, says the union. OPSEU complains that the employer is seeking to extend the wage freeze for ParaMed workers to five years in addition to other take-aways from their collective agreement. “ParaMed is rowing in the opposite direction from the Ontario government, which is seeking to improve working conditions for the home care work force,� says Warren (Smokey) Thomas, president of the 130,000member union. “Poor wages and working conditions will only create further turnover in a sector the Minister of Health is counting on to free up hospital beds.� OPSEU’s workers at ParaMed charge that the company has been “taunting them for months to hit the picket line.�

Even Hummingbirds have their wannabes Lifestyle - As summer serenely slips into autumn, quiet changes are taking place all around us. Red Maples have begun shedding their veils of green, revealing bold red on leaves borne by male trees and soft yellow on those worn by females. Waves of warblers flit through the trees, refuelling after the 500-km flight endured the previous night. And hummingbirds sip nectar from Orange Jewelweeds and Cardinal-flowers in preparation for their journey south. Actually most hummingbirds are already left our area. Unlike warblers, thrushes, and many other songbirds, hum-

In late summer, hummingbirds attain nectar from Orange Jewelweeds. mingbirds migrate during the day. Their tiny bodies don’t hold a lot of fat and their feverish wing actions burn up a lot of energy so they feed as they migrate. It is obvious that the migration instinct is programmed into them for hummingbird

ends up in Ontario. This usually happens in the fall, and young birds are often the ones that go astray. Because their tiny bodies are capable of storing a limited amount of fat, for many years biologists were puzzled as to how Ruby-throated Humming-

birds were able to fly non-stop across the Gulf of Mexico on their way to Central America where they spent the winter. The fat stored on their bodies was simply insufficient to fuel that long flight. In earlier days it was proposed that hummingbirds hitched rides on the backs of large birds such as eagles. But that, of course, was nonsense. Eventually it was discovered that hummingbirds acquired energy by burning up some of their muscle tissue when their fat reserves became depleted. Hummingbirds seem distinctive enough when they feed at flowers. After all, what other tiny bird hovers while sipping sugar water? While no other bird does, there is another creature that hovers like a hummingbird and drinks like a bee. Hummingbird Clearwings are strange little insects that a few of this column’s readers reported seeing this summer. Hummingbird Clearwings are day-flying Sphinx Moths also known as Bumblebee Sphinx Moths. There are actually several species of Clearwings in our area, but the most common are Hummingbird Clearwings, Hemaris thysbe, and Snowberry Clearwings, Hemaris diffinis. These odd moths puzzle not only gardeners. A few years ago birders reported seeing a Rufous Hummingbird nectaring at flowers along the Ope-

ongo Road in Algonquin Park. The strange hummingbird turned out to be a Hummingbird Clearwing! When they are acquiring nectar, Clearwing Moths do not sit on flowers, as do other moths. That is

for good reason: their bodies are too heavy for the flowers to support. To solve this problem Clearwing Moths evolved hovering flight, similar to that performed by hummingbirds. In biologi-

Secondary students were involved in co-op learning opportunities and credit recovery. Also this summer, for the first time, the board offered an online, full credit religious education course to students from across the district. “We had a great mix of students from both BSCH and SJCH, 16 in total, excellent for our pilot project,� noted Thomas Carroll, RCCDSB E-Learning Contact. The project allowed students to set the time that they wanted to work on the course. “Students found that they really enjoyed the format as it allowed them to participate in parttime jobs and other summer activities,� said Carroll, adding that students worked on their course at all times throughout the day. Teacher Hollie Afelskie has experience teaching the course as the acting liaison/pastoral animator/religious education teacher at Madawaska Valley High School for the past few years. She has been using blended learning for a number of years. Her experience with the format and tools al-

Other highlights from this year’s program included an inquiry on weather to answer the question, “How do clouds make rain?� for Kindergarten students. Through a community partnership, Chantelle Lewis from the Boys and Girls Club of Pembroke ran a dynamic recreation program that included activities in the gym and some

water slide fun. Carolyn Comerford, RN, from the Renfrew County District Health Unit, visited classrooms to teach students about lungs, and compared the healthy lungs of a pig to smokers’ lungs. The summer school program culminated with a ‘Christmas in July’ themed celebration party. “All in all it was a fabulous month of teaching and learning,� summed up Keels.

Make sure drugs and school don’t mix

Lifestyle - At the beginning of a new school year, all parents of teenagers worry that their children will start hanging around with a new group of friends and get involved with drugs. Here are a few signs and symptoms that allow parents to react promptly if this should happen: • New friendships, dropping marks, and frequent absences from school. • More secretive behaviour about their possessions, activities, or movements. • Changes of clothing style and the wearing of clothes that evoke the drug culture. • The use of incense or deodorizing prod-

ucts, which are often used to camouflage suspicious odours. • Consistent demands for more pocket money than usual. • Disappearing medications from the medicine cabinet and the frequent use of eye drops, which are often used to conceal red eyes or dilated pupils. Have a frank conversation with your child if you’ve noticed one or more of these signs. Tell him or her about what you’ve noticed and ask for an explanation for the changes in behaviour and habits. It is also acceptable to meet with the principal and school counsellor.

News – Learning, fitness and a pilot project were all part of the Renfrew County Catholic School Board’s Summer School program this year. About 300 students in 28 classrooms participated in the Summer School program at seven sites across Renfrew County. The locations included John XXIII in Arnprior, St. James Catholic School in Eganville, St. John Bosco in Barry’s Bay, Cathedral Catholic School in Pembroke, St. Francis of Assisi in Petawawa and both of the board’s high schools. Students at the elementary level “experienced an effective, fun-filled literacy and numeracy booster program, as well as additional physical fitness activities,� noted Summer School principal Ruth McNulty. Reading buddies and ‘campfire’ journalsharing were among the many creative activities that helped to engage students in summer learning. “The programs were extremely interactive and creative, with a focus on inquiry based teaching to enhance literacy and numeracy skills,� said Summer School principal Karen Keels. As well, two sites were involved in a Summer Learning Research Project funded by the Council of Ontario Directors of Education

Ontario postsecondary students have plenty of supportive options News – Ontario is offering postsecondary students a variety of tips, programs and resources to help them save money, stay healthy and make the most of their experience as they return to campus this fall. Students can use these handy tips to help them make the most of the year ahead: • Take care of administrative requirements like registration, enrolment and fee payments as early as possible. • Set a budget and keep a record of expenses. Buying used textbooks is a great way to save money. • If you're moving to a residence, pack appropriately for a small space. If you'll be sharing a room, be a considerate roommate. • Create a routine and stick to it - and don't cut classes! There are plenty of electronic tools you can use to get organized and stay that way. • Stay socially connected - make new friends at orientation and get involved on campus. • Keep stress in check through good work habits, a healthy diet, exercise and sleep. Make time for leisure and relaxation. If you're feeling overwhelmed, reach out and ask for help. The province's colleges and universities provide many on-campus services to help young people succeed, such as student centres and counselling, health and career services. Ontario also offers a number of supports, including: • Good2Talk, 1-866-925-5454, is a province-

wide, bilingual mental health help line for college and university students that operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. • Tools and resources to help students understand their skills and make decisions about next steps: Ontario Skills Passport, SkillsZone, Guide to Education and Career/Life Planning in Ontario. • OSAP, the Ontario Student Assistance Program, is a flexible grant and loan program to help students pay for a college or university education. • 30 per cent Off Ontario Tuition Grant provides non-repayable grants to eligible students attending a public college, university or private career college. • Many programs offer financial help for students in special circumstances. Ontario is supporting 20 projects at colleges and universities that are researching ways to improve access to mental health services, identify mental health issues and quickly connect students to support when needed. Ontario launched the Youth Suicide Prevention Plan to provide training, tools and funding to help communities come together to prevent youth suicides, including a unique Aboriginal approach. There are over 170,000 more students enrolled than there were in 2002, an increase of over 43 per cent.

modation is suitable when it comes to fire safety, he said. As well, it has helpful tips on campus safety for students. “I understand that it is a very exciting time for young adults,â€? Nicholas said. “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. The information sheets address such issues as: • Smoke alarms – make sure the mandatory smoke alarms are in place and have a landlord or supervisor point out and explain the fire alarm and detection features in the

building. • Carbon Monoxide alarms – the alarms are now mandatory and new buildings and a good idea in all buildings, especially if it is heated by natural gas, oil, propane or wood. • Fire separations – check to see if proper fire separations have been provided in older homes converted to apartments. • Exits – know the options on how to safety exit the building if a fire breaks out. • Fire escape plans – know what to do to escape in an emergency and ensure there are two ways out in case one is blocked. • Security – if you do have

security bars on the windows, ensure they come with an opening device in case you have to exit that way in an emergency. • Electrical safety – find out the status of the building’s wiring and don’t overload if it’s old-fashioned. The fire department also encourages parents to caution their children on cooking safety, the potential danger of candles, space heaters and smoking inside.

Literacy improving, math lagging, testing indicates News – Literacy success rates continue to improve in Ontario elementary schools, but the opposite is true for mathematics. While Grade 3 math achievement rates have remained the same in the latest provincial testing results, they have dropped again for students in Grade 6. A review of Grade 6 student math responses shows students consistently do best demonstrating their math knowledge and least well applying that knowledge, particularly in problem-solving. In secondary schools, math success rates have been improving steadily for the past five years for

students in both the academic and applied courses. However, more than half the students in the applied course are still not meeting the provincial standard. Of the Grade 10 students who were eligible to write the Ontario Secondary Literacy Test (OSSLT) for the first time in 2014, 83 per cent were successful, maintaining a high level of literacy achievement. Results show the success rate on the OSSLT for students in applied English courses has, however, been decreasing each year for the past five years. Persistently low success rates for students in both the applied English and applied math courses sug-

gest a review of those courses is warranted. Results of Students in elementary schools READING AND WRITING:

• 70 per cent of Grade 3 students and 79 per cent of Grade 6 students are now meeting the provincial reading standard, an increase of eight percentage points and seven percentage points, respectively, over the past five years. • 78 per cent of students in both Grade 3 and Grade 6 have met the expected level in writing. This represents an eight-percentage-point increase over the past five years for students in both grades. MATHEMATICS:

• 67 per cent of Grade 3 students met the standard in 2014 compared to 71 per cent in 2010, indicating a four-

percentage-point decrease. • 54 per cent of Grade 6 students met the standard in 2014 compared to 61 per cent in 2010. This is a seven-percentage-point decrease from 2010. RESULTS OF STUDENTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics • The math success rate has steadily been improving in both academic and applied courses. • 85 per cent of students enrolled in the academic math course met the provincial standard this year, a threepercentage-point increase over the past five years. • 47 per cent of students enrolled in the applied math course met the provincial standard this year, a sevenpercentage-point increase over the past five years. • The success rate of students in

the applied math course has remained persistently low, with more than half (53 per cent) of the enrolled students in this course not meeting the provincial standard. • A significant number of students who did not meet the standard in the Grade 9 applied math course (90 per cent) also had not met the provincial math standards when they were in Grade 6. Grade 10 - Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) • 83 per cent of participating students were successful on the OSSLT on their first try. • In the applied English course, the OSSLT success

rate of students has decreased by ten percentage points in the past five years, from 60 per cent in 2010 to 50 per cent in 2014. • 75 per cent of students in the applied English course who were unsuccessful on the OSSLT had also not met the Grade 6 provincial reading standard. "Ontario's elementary schools do a very good job developing student reading and writing skills,â€? said EQAO chair Brian Desbiens. “We're still not seeing the same kind of achievement in math, and aggressive efforts to turn that around must continue at all levels of the education system.â€?

Terry Fox Run: 34 years and counting Arnprior gets set to honour Fox, Clouthier once again News – Hundreds of Arnprior area residents are expected to join hundreds of thousands of people across Ontario in participating in the annual Terry Fox Run on Sunday, Sept. 14. The fundraising event, which plays a key role in the battle against cancer, is in its 34th year and is now considered a Canadian tradition as the country transitions from summer to autumn. Last year, millions of Ontarians participated in 220 community Terry Fox Runs and 4,000 school events, raising $1 2.5 million for cancer research. The Arnprior run/walk/cycle will again be held on the Agricultural Society track at the Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pledge forms and brochures have been available in several local locations, including the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, for several weeks now.

The Arnprior run not only honours Fox, but Rita Clouthier, who keep the local run going, sometimes almost single-handedly, for years through sheer hard work and willpower. In 1980, when Terry Fox decided to run across Canada on a prosthetic leg to raise funds for cancer research, he knew he faced an immense challenge. After running almost a marathon a day for 143 days, Fox was forced to stop when cancer reocurred in his lungs. His Marathon of Hope came to an end, but the spark he had lit in the hearts and minds of Canadians ignited into a cancer crusade that has lasted more than three decades. There is no doubt that Terry’s example of courage and perseverance lives on today in Terry Foxers of all ages. In 201 2, Yusuf Hirji of Pickering, Ontario, a promising soccer player with eyes on a soccer scholarship, was diagnosed at age 16 with osteosarcoma. “I was faced with a challenge I never imagined. But I was amazed to hear my surgeon say that my leg could be saved. I knew then that nothing could limit me, not even a disease like cancer.” Today, Yusuf is a thriving 18-year-old who

graces the Terry Fox ‘Thank You for My Life’ poster that is being displayed this month in more than 8,500 schools across Canada. He expresses gratitude for the health he now enjoys. “Today’s cancer patients are beating cancer and living healthy lives thanks to progress made in research. The chemotherapy is less harsh on our bodies; treatment is shorter; and people like me are able to keep both our legs.” Two things kept Fox going during the long, difficult days in 1980: the dollars donated for research and the supporters who encouraged him along the way. On Sunday, Sept. 1 4, hundreds of thousands of Terry Fox supporters, like Yusuf and his family and friends, will participate in their favourite Canadian Fall tradition to ensure that cancer research continues to forge ahead. “From coast to coast, we will be working together to outrun cancer,” says organizers. To help out with the Arnprior run, contact main organizer Stephen Dodd at stephe.dodd@ investorsgroup.com or call 613-622-5479.

County getting ready to build $5 million police centre Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Renfrew County is virtually ready to start building a new $5 million headquarters for the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police. Construction is expected to start next spring following county council’s approval Aug. 27 of a letter of intent that calls for the detachment to be located at 450 O’Brien Rd. in Renfrew. In the same meeting, county council approved the issu-

ing of requests for approval for architectural services for the OPP building. The building will be located next to Renfrew County Place, which houses several county services, including the Renfrew station of the county’s paramedic service. “I applaud council for their visionary leadership,� said OPP Inspector Colin Slight, the detachment commander for Renfrew and Arnprior, who was present for council’s vote. �I especially applaud the

members of the development and property committee for their patience with this process,� added Slight. “I’m ecstatic about the idea of having one building that is going to allow the detachment to be up-to-date and able to provide a top-level service to our communities.� The headquarters will mean the consolidation of operations at one site, from the Renfrew municipal hall and another location at the north end of town. Some tweaking of the lease

remains to be ďŹ nalized, but is virtually intact, says Renfrew County director of development and property Paul Moreau. “Essentially, it now means we’re in a partnership with the Province of Ontario to be the landlord for the OPP at 450 O’Brien,â€? said Moreau. “In the long term, we have a nice facility on county lands. Ultimately, the county will own that building and it will be an asset that we generate revenue from.â€? The letter of intent calls

for the county to build the structure and provide a 15year lease to the OPP, with a ďŹ ve-year renewal option after ďŹ ve years. Renewal would be based on market value, while operational costs will be paid as additional rent. Realty taxes will be paid by the tenant and additional repair costs will be negotiated. The estimated cost of the 16,000-square-foot facility is $5,300,504. The yet-to-be ďŹ nalized lease agreement calls for a lease fee of $28.50 per square foot over 15 years.

The county’s loan to pay for the facility will likely be ďŹ nanced through the Infrastructure Ontario’s loans program, but the county may use building and working capital reserves to cover some costs. The project schedule also calls for architectural drawings to be approved and construction tenders issued in February. The anticipated start of construction is April 2015, with the base building turned over to the OPP Jan. 31, 2016. The start of the lease is earmarked for Aug. 1, 2016.

County moves to facilitate land development in Whitewater Region Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Renfrew County council has passed an amendment to its OfďŹ cial Plan that could eliminate roadblocks to housing development around Muskrat Lake that have existed for more than 20 years. County council’s approval of the amendment, which has attracted considerable interest from other municipalities, still needs to be

approved by the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, a process that could take a year. But it’s a step in the right direction, says Charles Cheesman, manager of planning services for the County of Renfrew. Muskrat Lake is located in Whitewater Region, whose township council passed a resolution in July calling for adoption of the OP amendment. Muskrat is designated a highly sensitive lake

by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. Cheesman says the overall purpose of the amendment is to promote growth in the suitable waterfront areas, such as the Ottawa River and signiďŹ cant lakes, while still protecting water quality and recognizing other potential environmental impacts.

The OfďŹ cial Plan amendment features several components, including lot creation around Muskrat Lake and a new waterfront designation. The waterfront designation is intended to maintain an appropriate balance between natural shorelines and buildings (or other man-made structures).

News - The Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) are using the traditional Aboriginal knowledge to help in the efforts to stop the decline in eel populations in the Ottawa and other regional rivers. While to some the eel is an unimportant inhabitant of the river, to the Algonquins they are a sacred and inspirational creature. In a news release last week, the Algonquins announced the release of two important reports that they say will serve to bridge the gap between scientific and Aboriginal knowledge of Pimisi, the American eel. The traditional knowledge reports build upon the AOO’s landmark report ‘Returning Kichisippi Pimisi, the American Eel, to the Ottawa River Basin’, released in December 2012. Pimisi means “eel” in the language of the Algonquin people, explains the AOO release. “Since time immemorial, Algonquins have held a deep connection to Pimisi as a sacred creature and pro-

vider of nourishment, medicine and spiritual inspiration. The Algonquins consider the eel to be a model of strength and adaptability, living in harmony with its surroundings.” Although once abundant throughout Algonquin Traditional Territory, Pimisi has suffered “dramatic population declines in recent history and is disappearing from our waters,” says the Algonquins. Today, there are only a remnant population left in Ontario. Deeply concerned about Pimisi’s sharp decline, the AOO are working with governments, private proponents and conservation organizations to build upon existing knowledge and to enhance protection and recovery efforts for the American eel. They say the initiatives demonstrate the value of adopting a collaborative, partner-based approach to tackle complex issues, such as the restoration of Pimisi to its traditional habitat. The first Traditional Knowledge report released last week focuses on returning the American Eel to the Ottawa River Basin. In 2012, the AOO entered into a partnership with the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) to participate in the Ottawa River American Eel Project. In the first year of the partnership, the AOO and the CWF engaged a research assistant to participate in the ongoing study of Pimisi in the vicinity of Lac des Chats. In addition to the scientific research conducted in the field, the

research assistant also worked to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and cultural heritage through the collection of Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge (ATK) of Pimisi. The collection of ATK speaks to the significant decline of the American eel while also serving to strengthen the connection between the Algonquin people and their traditions and ancestors. The second report explores Algonquin and Aboriginal relationships with the American eel and focuses on the South Nation area. The report will support, assist and complement science-based eel recovery strategies. The reports conclude that it is vital to the AOO that viable populations of the American Eel be restored to its historical range in Ontario and specifically to waters throughout the Ottawa River Basin, including the traditional waters of the Mississippi, Bonnechere, Petawawa, Mattawa, Madawaska and South Nation Rivers and other tributaries. “Pimisi was there for the Algonquin people and their ancestors in the Ottawa Valley for centuries, and more recently, was there for European settlers, providing economic, material sustenance and medicines,” says the report. The AOO are determined to be the voice of the eel in mankind’s efforts to ensure the survival of the species, the news release concludes. For more, visit www.tanakiwin.com.

Arnprior has link to Indigenous Games team peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Gerry Benoit, formerly of Arnprior, says the players on the team that he coached to the silver medal at the North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) probably don’t realize the magnitude of what they have accomplished. “Not everyday as an Aboriginal player and coach do we get to play one game to be the best team in North America,” Benoit said. Benoit was the coach of the under 14 boys basketball team, which brought silver medals home as the Ontario representative at the 2014 NAIG held at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. The Games were held July 20 to 27. It was an accomplishment coach Benoit will not soon forget, and culminated a lot of hard work that began with tryouts at the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan Makwa Centre back in March. “It was very intense basketball,” Benoit said of the Games. “The ball bounced our way, except for the last game.” The u14 boys division featured eight teams grouped in into two pools of four at the Games, which draw athletes from 13 Canadian provinces and territories, and 13 regions from the United States. Ontario defeated Colorado 37-33, lost to Alberta 37-35 and topped the Northwest Territories 51-28. As fate would have it, because of three teams

owning 2-and-1 records, Team Ontario had to win by at least 20 points, and did so. This gave Ontario a bye to the final, which resulted in a Manitoba victory and silver medals for the Ontario squad. British Columbia won the bronze. Benoit said the team returned home to a proud community. “The community in Golden Lake was just buzzing.” He noted that the u14 girls team also won silver medals following a heart-stopping 46-45 loss to B.C. Golden Lake made its presence felt at the Games as five athletes – two u14 girls, two boys on Benoit’s team, and one male athlete in athletics – came from the area. Benoit carried the community flag into Mosaic Stadium at the opening ceremonies in front of about 10,000 people, and many more watching on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN). That gave him goose bumps.

Packer hopefuls vie for jobs in exhibition tilts Sports - Arnprior Packer fans can get a sneak peak of this year’s squad at two exhibition games at the Nick Smith Centre this weekend. The Junior B hockey team hosts Stittsville with its new name (Rams) and colours, this Saturday, Sept. 6 for a 5:30 p.m. game. The defending Metro-Valley champion Ottawa West Golden Knights come to town Sunday for a 2 p.m. contest. The Packers lost a 5-3 exhibition game in Renfrew Aug. 27. Despite falling to the homestanding Timberwolves, the Arnprior line-up loaded with many rookies shows promise. They could easily have folded their tent, trailing 3-0 through one period and 5-1 after 40 minutes. Instead, coach Bill Griese’s squad came back out and made a game of it. The Packers outscored the Wolves 2-0 in the final stanza. Zach Elliot, Braedon Zvonarich and Conner Budarick connected for Arnprior. Budarick’s marker with 6:22 remaining made the final minutes interesting. Veteran Scott Conroy led Renfrew with two goals. Alex Ebner and James Hanley shared Packers netminding duties. The majority of last year’s players on the team will be coming back, noted assistant coach Glenn Arthur. The Packers were probably the division’s youngest team last year, but made the playoffs before losing in the first round to eventual Valley Division champion Almonte Thunder.

Rowers unite at Burnstown Regatta this Sunday, Sept. 7 Sports – The annual Burnstown Regatta will be held this Sunday, Sept 7. Rowers from this area, Ottawa and even further afield will gather at the Burnstown Rowing Club facilities next to Burnstown Beach for the popular event. A variety of races will be held on the scenic

Arnprior Greyfish Masters make waves at Worlds Lifestyle - FINA World Master Swimming Championships are held every two years in major centres around the world. This year’s championship was held at the Aquatic Complex on St. Helen’s Island in Montreal. Since the last time the championship was in Canada was in 1994, Arnprior Greyfish Masters coach, Shawn Moffat, jumped at the opportunity to train swimmers for this international meet to be held on home turf. The meet was composed of three parts: individual events, relays and a 3-kilometre open water swim. To enter an individual event, entry times had to equal or better the posted qualifying times for each age group. Age groups are divided into five-year intervals starting with the 25-29 age group. The competition was held in two outside 10-lane 50-metre

long-pools, plus a third outside warm-up/cool-down pool. For comparison, the Arnprior pool is six lanes and 25 meters long. The 3-km open water swim was held in the nearby rowing basin. The seven Greyfish swimmers - Ralph Chown, Peter Dodge, Valerie Kealey, Shawn Moffat, Mark Robson, Laura Stellato and Lindsay Tait - entered a mix of 16 individual events, six relays and three open water swims. Competition was stiff. There were 5,000 athletes from 101 countries. In the men’s 50-m free alone, there were 1,450 entries. Awards were presented to 10th place in each individual event and age group. The Greyfish team returned LAURA STELLATO/SUBMITTED with medals for a 10th, 8th and 6th place, an impressive catch The seven Arnprior Greyfish swimmers at the World Masters Swimming Chamconsidering the depth of the com- pionships in Montreal, from left, are Peter Dodge, Lindsay Tait, Valerie Kealey, Mark Robson, Laura Stellato, Shawn Moffatt and Ralph Chown. petition.

Sports – As with many organizations in Arnprior, the Curling Club’s aging building is in need of an update. Many members have recently volunteered their time to replace the “on its last legs” flooring in the upper hall and repainted its tired walls. Even though there is a longterm plan to update lighting, window treatments and other decor items, the club has had to put the plans temporarily on hold as it needed to redirect funds to repair a leaking roof. “We are, however, eagerly anticipating finishing the upper hall in the fall,” says spokesman John Wahay. To help pay for the repairs and update, recent fundraising efforts have raised more than $12,000 through a fashion show, silent auction and plant sale. Further fundraising plans are in the works with a home tour planned in November. The club is very proud of and acknowledges its volunteers who have made these events successful and fun. The curling club is a nonprofit organization and receives no public funding. The club is soon to celebrate its 150th anniversary and is striving to continue to offer a sport and social centre where many people come to be physically fit, meet people and have fun. In order to continue these activities, the club is hoping to make the upper hall more inviting and continue a long-

Youth enjoy learning how to dragon boat Arnprior Dragon Boat Club hosts youth Lifestyle – The final day of a truly unique program for Arnprior area youth that had taken place throughout the summer was marked on Wednesday, Aug. 20. The Town Of Arnprior in partnership the Arnprior Dragon Boat Club launched a ‘Learn to Dragon Boat’ summer program back in July. The program is innovative as not even Ottawa, a dragon boat hotbed, has a youth program. It was an instant hit in Arnprior with a full boat of 18 registrants in total ranging from 9 to 15 years of age. Outings took place every Wednesday morning from 9:30 to 10:30 as the youth participants were supplemented by experienced paddlers and coaches from the Arnprior Dragon Boat Club and the Town Of Arnprior staff roster. The youth paddlers had a wonderful experience overall, learning teamwork and co-operation while enhancing their physical fitness. On the final day, parents of the youth paddlers were invited to participate directly with their children by going out on the boat and learning some fundamentals of paddling. Afterwards, all of the participants were presented with a certificate of achievement as they enjoyed an end-of-season barbecue along with new friends and family members.

Dragon boat doings Arnprior’s only dragon boat group that raises funds for breast cancer research, the Prior Chestnuts, continues to be busy this summer. They participated in the White Pine Festival on Aug. 23, and even attended a barbecue hosted by lead sponsor Campanale Homes. The group has also raised funds to participate in the International Breast Cancer Dragon Boat Festival in Florida this October. Will they win? “Of course we will,” said Ola Armstrong, fourth from left. “We’ve been practicing our butts off!” DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Report From Parliament:

Cheryl GALLANT

Your Member of Parliament Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Constituency Office 84 Isabella St. Pembroke ON K8A 5S5 (Tel) 613-732-4404 (Fax) 613-732-4697

www.cherylgallant.com By Cheryl Gallant, MP July, 2014. I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer. Thank-you to all who attended the various constituency clinics that have been held throughout our Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke riding. Whether it was just to drop by and say hi, or to share an interest or concern, I appreciate the opportunity of you letting me know what is on your mind. After the high cost of electricity, one of the issues that has arisen as a topic of concern is the public move by the City of Ottawa to petition the province to use its legislation to restrict growth in places like Renfrew County. That could mean no more provincial funding for roads, sewers, hospitals and other infrastructure renewal. Without infrastructure renewal, employment opportunities would leave as would residents who need services, and particularly our young people who need jobs. It has been suggested this is a result of “Agenda 21”, a United Nations policy the provincial government has adopted in an extreme form. This radicalized environmental version is now being pushed in Ottawa by the same liberal advisors behind the so-called “Green Energy Act” that has meant crippling electricity prices, resulting in high provincial unemployment and energy poverty. In 2005, the liberal government in Ontario passed legislation called the “Places to Grow Act” to align its land use/planning codes and government policies to United Nations Agenda 21. Like many ideas that may sound good on paper, when it comes to implementation by individuals with no real-world experience, these ideas can become dangerous. While many people support the United Nations for its ‘peacekeeping’ efforts, hardly anyone knows the organization has very specific land use policies they would like to see implemented in every village, town, city, county, province and nation. The specific plan is called United Nations Agenda 21 Sustainable Development, which has its basis in Communitarianism. Most Canadians have heard of sustainable development, but are largely unaware of the U.N. initiative Agenda 21. A non-governmental organization headquartered in Toronto called the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives, ICLEI, is tasked with carrying out the goals of Agenda 21 worldwide.

PHOTOS BY DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Festival fun

In a nutshell, the plan calls for government to eventually take control of all land use removing decision making from the hands of private property owners. It is assumed people are not good stewards of their land and “the government” will do a better job if it is in total control. Individual rights in general are to give way to the needs of communities as determined by the governing body.

Above, right Rotarians John Heymans, left, Leo Hughes, and Mike Steeves offer up free pop during the sunny Saturday of the festival. A classic entry at the White Pine Festival car show on Sunday, Aug. 24 has a Mini-Me on its fender.

Human habitation, as it is referred to in Agenda 21, would be restricted to lands within the “Urban Growth Boundaries” of a city like Ottawa. Only certain building designs are permitted. Opponents of Agenda 21 also assert that rural property could be more and more restricted in what uses can be done on it. The provincial government says it will support agricultural uses, eating locally produced food, and farmer’s markets, etc. In fact there are so many regulations restricting water and land use (there are scenic corridors, inland rural corridors, baylands corridors, area plans, specific plans, redevelopment plans, tree-cutting by-laws, endangered species legislation, huge fees, fines, etc.) that small farmers and rural landowners are struggling to keep their lands altogether. County roads will not get paved. The push will be for people to get off of the land, become more dependent, and go into the cities. People will have to move from private homes and into single dwellings like apartments, as homeownership will become largely unaffordable the way it is in many urban areas like Toronto today. More extreme measures like a federal liberal carbon tax will force people out of private cars and onto public transit that only exists in cities.

DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS THERE WILL BE

NO PARKING SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6th

U.N. Agenda 21 proponents cite the affluence of North Americans as being a major problem which needs to be corrected. The document calls for a redistribution of wealth, lowering the standard of living for Canadians so that maybe the people in poorer countries will have more. Although people around the world aspire to achieve the levels of prosperity we have in our country, and will risk their lives to get here, North Americans are cast in a very negative light for our energy consumption. Agenda 21 aims to reduce Canadians to a condition closer to average in the world. Only then, say the promoters of Agenda 21, will there be their social justice which is the so-called cornerstone of the U.N. Agenda 21 plan.

ON THE RENFREW FAIR GROUNDS FROM 9AM-6PM Due to safety concerns of all riders and exhibitors, there will only parking the handicap and exhibitors ONLY. While we recognize that this may be an inconvenience, we are doing this to ensure that none of our exhibitors are put in a risky situation between a horse and car and to also make sure that should we need an ambulance to get in quickly, this can be accomplished in a timely manner. Thank you for understanding! R0022863069

Board of Directors Renfrew Fair

I am pleased to thank members of County Council who are voicing their opposition to provisions of the “Places to Grow Act” ‘Agenda 21-type’ provincial legislation, and against the City of Ottawa’s position, standing up for the people of Renfrew County. As your Federal Member of Parliament, I will oppose any effort by the liberal party in Ontario to redirect Federal Infrastructure funding away from rural or small town communities the way it takes provincial gas taxes away from rural drivers to pay for Toronto’s subways. With your support and encouragement, I will continue to expose the hidden agenda of the merged liberal party of Toronto in Ottawa. They have condemned our children to a lifetime of debt repayment by promoting wacky social experiments like Agenda 21, the Places to Grow, Green Energy Acts and similar misguided policies. As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues.

up straight as a die.No passing notes or whispering allowed. And never, absolutely never, leave your desk without permission. When the inspector came to the door ... without rapping usually, just brazenly walking in, immediately get out of your desk, and stand at attention until told to sit down. (The inspector was someone to be feared ... even Miss Crosby held him in awe ... the inspector was right up there with a member of the local police force). You had to be prepared for desk-drawer inspection without notice. So you books better be in perfect order ... the scribblers on the very bottom, and the reader and spelling book on top. And no chewing on your art gum. That order was especially for Cecil who was known to demolish his art gum before the first week of school was over. You asked permission for anything you needed or wanted to know by raising your right hand. Never your left, which apparently meant an entirely different thing. That was a challenge for Cora who was naturally lefthanded, but she soon got onto

Memories

then sat, ramrod straight with our eyes glued to the teacher, as she read a verse from the bible. And it was on that first day of school that each of us was assigned chores. These could include sweeping the floor, emptying the waste paper basket at the end of the day, wiping off the blackboards, changing the drinking and washing-up water, and making sure the pencil sharpener had been emptied every night. This schedule was tacked to the wall at the back of the schoolroom, and it was considered a great privilege to be asked to do chores for the teacher. My head would be spinning by the time I tried to remember all what I could and could not do at the Northcote School. To forget meant a sour look from Miss Crosby, a finger wagging from my sister Audrey, and, of course, a reprimand from Mother when I got home from school. That seemed to be the order of command back then. By the time the first week of school had passed, all the rules would have been established, and the school would be running like a well-oiled wheel. It would be many years later that I would finally realize what Miss Crosby meant when she said in her opening remarks, as she stood at the big oak desk at the front of the room at the start of every school year. “Remember going to school is not a right, it is a privilege.” .COM

raising her right hand when Miss Crosby ignored her otherwise. And the second Miss Crosby appeared on the stoop outside the school, and rang the big brass hand-bell, you lined up like soldiers. The smallest at the front of the line, and the biggest at the back. And, of course, you never went into the school after being ‘rung in’ and immediately sat down ... you stood perfectly still until Miss Crosby came back in, went up to her desk, and nodded permission. There seemed to be no embarrassment in asking to go out to the privy. But there were even rules for asking permission back then for something as basic as having to use the outhouse. If it was to be a fast trip, you raised one finger on your left hand ... this was when the left hand was put to use ... and two fingers on the left hand meant you expected to out there for a bit longer. Of course, the entire Northcote School knew what you were asking permission for! And once the deed was done, you quickly washed your hands in the basin at the back door, dried them on the huck towel on the roller, and took your seat, and got right down to work. Miss Crosby was high on ritual, and so every morning we stood solemnly at our desks, with our right hand, palm opened over our heart, and paid homage to the King, repeated the Lord’s Prayer, and

Book, much to my delight, and the complete surprise of my brother Emerson, who told me on more than one occasion that I would be in the lowest grade for at least three years. I loved school, and I loved Miss Crosby, even though I held her in great awe. She never played favourites, and often her patience was tried to the limit with both Cecil and Emerson in the same class. But she ruled with an iron arm, and her word was the law at the Northcote School, let me tell you. I could hardly wait to get to school on that first day back in September. We five children had been scrubbed within an inch of our lives, and we had on our next-to-Sunday- best clothes ... those that we wore into Renfrew, or to the Saturday night house parties. Not our very best, but a step up from what we would wear after that very first day back to school. Writing was still beyond me, but I was able to print, and days before we were to go back to school, I had printed out all the rules I had learned the year before. I had sat at the kitchen table, and with the help of my sister Audrey, I refreshed in my mind, all the dos and don’t rules Miss Crosby insisted on. I had to remember to stand at my desk, feet firmly planted on the floor, to answer any question asked by the teacher. It was considered very disrespectful to stay in your seat. And there was no slumping over your workbook. You sat

Seniors and nutrition - the aging population

LIZ WALL/SUBMITTED

Fueling the campaign Budget Propane, represented by manager Terry Wright, centre, is thanked by both Arnprior- Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program transportation co-ordinator/executive assistant Tammy Mondor and Para Transit driver Colin Borshevsky for the company’s financial support of the ‘Yellow Envelope Mail-Out Campaign Keep the Wheels Turning’ campaign. Donations in support of the Para Transit vehicle can be dropped off or mailed to 106 McGonigal St. West, Arnprior, K7S 1M4.

Opinion – Statistics show that by 2041, seniors (Canadians aged 65 years or older) will make up 25 per cent of our population – that’s 1 in every 4 people. As we age we lose lean body mass (i.e., muscles), consequently our calorie requirements decline. Yet our vitamin and mineral requirements remain the same; in fact sometimes they increase. That means the foods we eat must be nutrient dense - so every bite is loaded with vitamins and minerals. Eating toast and tea isn’t enough, and can contribute to malnutrition. Currently, up to 40 per cent of Canadian seniors don’t get enough calories and protein on a daily basis. Seniors who are most at risk for malnutrition are those who live alone, don’t eat foods from all four food groups, are over 70 years of age, drink more than six cups tea or coffee daily, are house-bound, have a poor appetite or are on a budget. By concentrating on getting enough key vitamins and minerals, for which seniors often fall short, they can improve and maintain their health. Some examples include: Vitamin B12 absorption lessens with age

Currently, up to 40 per cent of Canadian seniors don’t get enough calories and protein on a daily basis.

due to changes in the stomach. You can find vitamin B12 in meat, fish, eggs, and milk. More vitamin D is needed as we age because our skin makes less and sun exposure declines, especially in the winter. Vitamin D is found in sardines, salmon, herring, margarine and milk. Calcium is needed to keep bones strong and prevent osteoporosis. Zinc is a mineral that can keep the immune system working. It is found in oysters, turkey, lima beans, bran cereal, nuts, milk and lean red meat. Nutrient-rich food can include oatmeal, sweet potatoes mixed with regular potatoes, soups made with skim milk, grated low fat cheese on vegetables, Greek yogurt with fruit, soft or hard boiled eggs, and canned tuna or salmon added to pasta or salads. Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease have similar causes and associated risk factors to other common degenerative diseases, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes, both of which are largely preventable by op-

Weight management,\ wellness and nutrition timum nutrition. The central mechanism for degeneration of brain cells is inflammation and oxidization. However, by taking antioxidants Vitamin E and C and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), you reduce the risk. Being active can provide some protection against chronic illnesses such as osteoporosis, diabetes, joint problems, and heart disease. In fact, a U.S. researcher improved muscle strength by 160 per cent in the very frail seniors (averaging 90 years of age) in nursing homes, by having them weight train for eight weeks. Ian Harris of Arnprior is a registered nutritional therapist, certified food psychology coach, certified wellness coach and personal chef. He holds many other certifications and specializes in lifestyle and weight management. He can be reached at ww.ianharris. ca.

Pakenham resident among veterans honoured at book launch Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – Clarence Fishenden intently stared at a photo of Mississippi Mills soldiers standing in front of Old Town Hall in Almonte before they left for the First World War, trying to locate his grandfather. When he couldn’t find him, he quickly pointed to a large vintage photo of his grandfather, Pvt. Arthur William Fishenden from Pakenham, who served with his four brothers: George, William, Harry and Fred. Arthur and William Ernest ‘Bill’ Fishenden never made it home and are two of the 100 heroes from Mississippi Mills who are included in the new book The Lost Generation of Mississippi Mills, WWI Casualties. Clarence thought the book sounded very interesting. “It’s great they made the book, they put so much work into it,� said Clarence. “It makes me feel proud of my grandfather.� The book was official launched at old town hall on Aug. 17, in front of an almost full house. “It’s an excellent turnout,� said North Lanark Historical Society president Ed Wilson. “It’s amazing to have the support on a Sunday afternoon. The project was a joint effort by the society and the Town of Mississippi Mills, after the

Arthur William Fishenden from Pakenham, who is included in the book and served in the First World War but never made it home. town received a $9,300 from Community Engagement Partnership Fund through Veterans Affairs Canada in fall 2012. “I think it is wonderful to have completed the two-year project and we finished on target for the 100th anniversary of the First World War ‌ ,â€? said Wilson. He praised the two driving forces behind the book, Rob More and Brian Tackaberry, who conducted the necessary research for the book and are the co-authors.

“Brian and Rob did a lot of work to find the individuals to include in the book,â€? said Wilson. “They were very dedicated and interested in getting all of the details right.â€? During the official portion of the event, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor, a former minister of defence and soldier, was the first to speak on the importance of the book, noting that there are no survivors left from the Great War. “We learn from our history and this history is being lost,â€? said O’Connor. “We need to save it because there is nobody left. A lot of people have forgotten and it’s important we have the facts in books like this for the next generation.â€? More than 60,000 Canadians died in the First World War and more than 425,000 served overseas. “When you look at the monument in Almonte and how many died it was an incredible loss for such a small community ‌ This book will add to the rich history of Canada and this community,â€? said O’Connor. “It is so fitting to write a book remembering why they died and remember why they fought. It was for freedom,â€? said Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren. “They stood on guard so we could be free and it is fitting to write a record of the sacrifices they made for freedom and democracy.â€? Mississippi Mills CAO Diane Smithson read

a letter from Julian Fantino, Minster of Veterans Affairs. “The release of this book will help underline the centenary anniversary of the start of the First World War and pay tribute to all the soldiers who served in this conflict, including the 100 fallen heroes of Mississippi Mills,� Fantino wrote in his letter. “I am grateful for all of your hard work, in both honouring our veterans and ensuring that their sacrifices will not be forgotten.� “I think this book gives us a wonderful opportunity to remember those who died for Mississippi Mills,� said Mississippi Mills Coun. Duncan Abbott. Two-hundred copies of the book were produced; one copy will be given to a descendant of each hero in the book and there will also be copies provided to local churches, schools, libraries and other historical societies. It was also announced that the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 and Jenn Yates’ Grade 10 students from Almonte and District High School will be creating a book on the Second World War fallen heroes. It will be launched in October. “We have covered all who have made the ultimate sacrifice from both wars,� said Tackaberry. The North Lanark Regional Museum will also launch its annual military exhibit on ‘The Lost Generation’ on Nov. 2 from 2 to 4 p.m.

Burnstown’s second Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope this Sunday

ARNPRIOR'S HISTORIC THEATRE R0092788544

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5 TO THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 11 14A

22 JUMP STREET 7:30PM Nightly

Community - Cheryl Babineau and Richard Gill of Bittersweet Gallery and Fog Run Studio will host for the second time the Burnstown Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope this Sunday, Sept. 7. The medieval 11-circuit Chartres-style labyrinth mowed into their meadow will be part of the course for the event. Thinking their labyrinth at Bittersweet Gallery was under-utilized, the couple decided to put it to good use. So in 2013 it became a most unique setting for the first Burnstown Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope. Maintaining it as a labour of love, and thanks to Kate Lindsay and Richard Laxton, the labyrinth is primed for another year. A labyrinth is not a maze, but a single winding path that guides a participant to its centre and back out again. Unlike a maze, the labyrinth holds no tricks or dead ends.

GOOD FOR THE BRAIN

Walking a labyrinth is a right-brain activity (creative, intuitive, imaginative). Many walkers of labyrinths report life-changing experiences, a sense of breaking through a barrier and finding answers, sometimes

without even knowing they had a question. This cause is especially meaningful to Gill, as he lost his mother and two sisters to ovarian cancer and has two daughters at high risk. Ovarian cancer is Canada’s most fatal women’s cancer. It is often overlooked and under-diagnosed and there is no screening test. Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed in late stages, resulting in five-year survival rates of less than 30 per cent. Ten to 15 percent of the most common type of ovarian cancer is hereditary due to mutations in the genes passed through the family, either the father’s or mother’s side. CANADA-WIDE WALK

On Sunday, the 13th annual Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope will be held in at least 45 other locations across the country. It is the largest one-day event in Canada that raises money solely for the fight against ovarian cancer. Thanks to the generosity of family, friends and neighbours, the 2013 Burnstown walk raised $8,000 for Ovarian Cancer Canada. Everyone is invited to join Babineau and Gill to support the important cause by participating as a walker, starting your own

team or sponsoring a walker. This year’s goal is to raise $16,000 and contribute to funding research to develop reliable early detection techniques, improved treatments and, ultimately, a cure. Registration, refreshments and an opening ceremony will happen between 9 and 10 a.m. at 5 Leckie Lane. Rain or shine, the walk begins in the labyrinth at 10 a.m. It will continue along a path that meanders around neighbouring barns for 2.5-kilometres, or continues with a more strenuous walk as part of a five-kilometre option. Participants should be aware the labyrinth surface is cut grass that can be dewy in the morning with some uneven ground, so comfortable footwear or walking barefoot is recommended. The walk will wrap up with draws for door prizes donated by area businesses and a grand prize of a Gill clay relief sculpture for the most funds raised. Registration of $25 is waved for anyone with $100 or more in pledges. There will be brief closing remarks by Burnstown resident Denyse Campeau, national director of philanthropy for Ovarian Cancer Canada and chair of this year’s Burnstown walk.

Beer Stores collect empties for Roger’s House News - Beer Store outlets in the Ottawa Valley, including Arnprior’s, are collecting empties this weekend (Sept. 6-7) in support of Roger’s House. Roger’s House is a home away from home in Ottawa for hundreds of local children and their families. The facility enriches their lives when they are being treated at CHEO and other hospitals for progressive life-limiting illnesses. There will also be tickets available for a teddy bear draw as part of the campaign.

Arnprior Home Hardware owner Neil Slater pulls the winning ticket for a patio set he donated for a draw at the Arnprior LCBO store to raise money for the Renfrew County United Way. The LCBO staff continued their history of strong support of the United Way by donating the dinnerware. Staff collected donations from customers over two weeks, with all donors of $5 and more entered into the draw. Taking part in the draw, from left, are LCBO staff members Julia Lockhart, Heather Needham, Slater, Velda Mask (assistant manager), Tom Bissonnette (manager), Bunny McGregor and Donna Severin.

Parkinson’s SuperWalk Sunday Lifestyle - Lifestyle - Many members of the Arnprior Parkinson Support Group will be taking part in the SuperWalk for Parkinson’s this Sunday, Sept. 7. The Upper Ottawa Valley’s third annual Parkinson SuperWalk will be held at Ma-Te-Way Park in Renfrew, with registration at 9 a.m. and the walk at 10:30 a.m. Proceeds go to support people living with Parkinson’s and the Parkinson Society’s Eastern Ontario chapter. Register online or find out more by visiting www.parkinsonsuperwalk.ca or call 613-7229238. There are also SuperWalks planned for Brockville, Embrun, Ottawa and Cornwall. Parkinson SuperWalks across the country raise funds for research for better treatments and, hopefully down the road, a cure.

Funds raised will also help with education and support services for people with Parkinson’s and their caregivers and make an impact on the lives of over 100,000 Canadians living with Parkinson’s. “What a popular event this has become in Renfrew,” says Alan Muir, special events and community engagement manager for Parkinson Society Eastern Ontario. “Our turnout keeps getting higher every year. We’ve got lots of families involved, there’s music, and the MaTe-Way Activity Centre and the surrounding pathway is the perfect location for it.” An Arnprior support group meets monthly at the Arnprior Public Library. For more information, go to www.parkinsons.ca or call Theresa Dunn at 613-897-5055.

September is Arthritis Month The term arthritis (“arthro” meaning joint, “itis” meaning inflammation) is used to refer to more than 100 related conditions. Arthritis can strike anyone at anytime, regardless of age, physical condition or ethnic background, often with devastating and debilitating effects. Arthritis brings with it a burden of pain and disability that those living with this disease must face every day. The main symptoms of arthritis are chronic joint pain, stiffness and swelling, which can result in significant disability and poor quality of life. There is no cure for arthritis.

Thank you to Jack and Faith, all the staff at NO Frills, and the customers who purchased a smile in support of Partners in Caring. Your efforts are truly appreciated! The Smile Cookie Campaign takes place from September 15-20, 2014. This fundraiser is in support of Partners in Caring. Last year it raised $9,500. Please take the time to buy a cookie and support us this year. A pre-order form is also available on our website at www.PartnersinCaring.ca Thank you for your support.

Some important numbers to know: 4.6 million – Over 4.6 million Canadian adults (one in six Canadians aged 15 years and older) report having arthritis. By 2036, this number is expected to grow to an estimated 7.5 million Canadian adults (one in five). $33 billion – The impact of arthritis on the Canadian economy in health-care costs and lost productivity is estimated to be $33 billion each year. By 2031, this number is expected to more than double to over $67 billion. First – Among all causes of disability in Canada, arthritis ranks first among women and third among men. 2/3 – Two out of three Canadians affected by arthritis are women. 3/5 – Nearly three out of every five people with arthritis are of working age. 60 – Within a generation, there will be a new diagnosis of osteoarthritis in Canada every 60 seconds. The Arthritis Society offers a lot of helpful hints for Living with Arthritis. They encourage all people living with arthritis to be informed and involved in their treatment process and to be an active participant when it comes to leading as healthful a life as possible. It is important that you discuss your arthritis with your family doctor. Tips on Living with Arthritis: [ Regular Exercise (such as walking, swimming, dancing, cycling, yoga and stretching) can help joint functions, reduce pain and increase flexibility. [ Be aware that too much or the wrong exercise can cause harm, so speak to your doctor or physical therapist to ensure you are doing what is right for you. [ Don’t neglect the importance of rest [ Try not to place excessive strain on any single joint. For example: carry a shoulder bag instead of a handbag and carry grocery bags in your arm instead of gripping them with your hands. visit www.arthritis.ca to find out more tips. R0012861839

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of my dear husband, Harry Mayhew, who passed away Sept. 5, 2007. A picture of you I carry in my heart, I close my eyes to see it, Then the world gets dark. A memory of you I carry in my soul, I wrap it close around me When the nights get cold. If you ask how I am. I’d say just fine. But the truth is, If you could read my mind Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. With aching heart and tears unseen, Wishing your absence was only a dream.

(nee Craigie) October 2, 1937-August 28, 2014 It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Beryl Anne in hospital after a brief illness with cancer, Thursday August 27, 2014 in her 77th year. Survived by her husband of 59 years, Jim, her son Denny and daughters Brenda (Bob Bennett) of Pakenham and Heather (Elwyn Lang) of Carp. Beryl will join her beloved son Danny and parents Cliff and Lola Craigie of Oakville. B.A. will be fondly remembered by her siblings Ian (Gaye Dawn) of Oakville, June (Ed) of Tobermory, Tim (Avril) of Pender Island, B.C. and sister-in-laws Kaye of Oakville and Sharon of Kitchener. Predeceased by brothers Jim and Bill. Mom will forever remain in the hearts of all her “special kids” who were so very fond of her.

God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you, And whispered “Come to me”. With tearful eyes we watched you, We watched you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands now rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Cathy, Sue, Judy

We little knew that morning 10 years ago, God was going to call your name! In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same! It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home! You left us with beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And although we cannot see you, You are always by our side! Our family chain has been broken And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again!

IN MEMORIAM

St. John’s invites public to help celebrate history of Antrim Lifestyle – St. John’s Anglican Church in Antrim will celebrate ‘The Village of Antrim’ with a special service on Sunday, Sept. 14 at 9 a.m. Last October, St. John’s celebrated its 140th anniversary. In honour of this landmark, a special project was started - the compiling of a Memory Book to celebrate the church’s families. The Memory Book honours and celebrates family members past and present. “It’s an opportunity to show what the church meant to our ancestors and how their dedication was so instrumental to our existence today,” explains the church congregation. To date, two very successful presentations have taken place. The first one highlighted the Serson family in November 2013 and the Burden family celebration took place in April 2014. The next presentation is on

the ‘History of the Village of Antrim’. In 1828 the first deed was issued in the Antrim area. In 1832 Antrim was given its name by a man named Sloan, who named the area after his homeland, the County of Antrim in Northern Ireland. The area was advertised in the ‘Old Country’ as rich in timber and close to the main highway, the main highway at that time being the Ottawa River. Take into consideration the reference “close to the highway.” Close is at least eight miles from where the Mississippi flows into the Ottawa River. Once cleared, the Antrim area became a rich agricultural area, where today many of the farms are being worked by the fifth or sixth generation of the original pioneers. The plan is to focus on the village from the 1870s to present, highlighting the early settlers.

By 1876 Antrim had a population of 200 and every household boasted a tradesman. A map of the village is being re-created prior to the construction of the new Highway 17 in 1964. On this map will be a photo of every home along with a listing showing all owners from the original builder to the present owner. THANKS

The committee is most grateful to everyone who assisted with this Antrim Project by sharing their information and photos. Since 1873, St. John’s has been part of Antrim’s history. The members of St. John’s are honoured to include the presentation on Antrim in their Memory Book. JOAN WILSON/SUBMITTED They hope the public can join them at 9 a.m. on Sept. 14 St. John’s Anglican church is holding a special service Sept. 14 to celebrate the history of Antrim. for this special celebration.
