Council considers fewer units on Arthur Street Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
Following a debate over a housing development on Arthur Street at the previous meeting, Arnprior council will soon have
an official decision. Council discussed the plans again once again at its Monday meeting. There were no Arthur Street residents present but developer Scott McEwan took in the discussion. McEwan want-
ed to construct semi-detached structures and a three-unit townhouse for a total of seven units on Arthur, with frontage also on Elizabeth Street. The lot is currently zoned for a single residential unit and needs an
amendment. Like before, Mayor David Reid and Coun. Tom Burnette were not in the room during the talk, declaring conflict of interest. See ARTHUR page 3
Both Renfrew County school boards are encouraging parents to raise concerns with their school principal before pulling children out of the sex education portion of the new Health and Physical Education curriculum. The almost 10,000-student public board provided sex-ed exemptions to 18 or 20 students last spring. The Catholic board this September has provided one Arnprior student an exemption to the entire curriculum. Brent McIntyre, superintendent at the Renfrew County District School Board, has gotten “just a few calls” to his office this month over the issue, and doesn’t have statistics on how many parents have complained to their principal.
“Parents are calling the schools and we are answering each of these questions as best we can,” McIntyre said. “Principals are able to put their minds at ease in most cases. In some cases, after a conversation, the board has granted religious accommodation.” He said students won’t be penalized, but hopes parents keep in mind that the vast majority of the curriculum is without controversy. Bob Michaud agrees that only small aspects of the curriculum taught next spring can be considered sensitive. The chairman of the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board said the group of bishops overseeing the board is examining the curriculum and will provide supporting documents to guide teachers.

School boards address sex education misinformation GOVERNMENT RESPONSE
Continued from page 1
“We will teach the curriculum, but through a Catholic lens,” Michaud said. So, for example, when students are learning about consent and premarital sex, the Catholic board will emphasize its disapproval of engaging in sexual relations prior to marriage. Some Catholic teachers have expressed reluctance about teaching the curriculum, he said, but not in this part of the county. Both McIntyre and Michaud said there is a lot of misinformation and misconceptions surrounding the curriculum. Sometimes it is the same material, only taught perhaps a year earlier. Sometimes it is a belief parents have not and are not being consulted, though the government has heard from many parents and experts – and received 70 reports from health-related organizations - since 2007. Both encourage parents to read the curriculum and bring any concerns to their principal. McIntyre said teachers undergo a lot of training to be professional and age-appropriate in dealing with sensitive issues.
Gary Wheeler is a spokesman at the Ministry of Education. He said the curriculum hasn’t been updated since 1998 (pre-social media), and that it covers important relationship issues such as having the confidence to say No, mental health, and how to safely navigate the Internet. It needed to be updated, he said, for the safety of Ontario’s children. “Health and physical education is only one of a number of subjects children will learn this school year,” Wheeler said via email. “Our children need accurate information about health and physical education and this revised curriculum will help keep our students safe.” Wheeler finds no contradiction in defending the curriculum while allowing accommodation. Government is nimble enough to allow for exemptions. “While the ministry develops curriculum policy it’s the boards and schools that are responsible for implementing that policy at the school level. “Boards, schools and teachers work closely with their communities to address issues about the learning outlined in the curriculum and the
resources that will be used,” Wheeler said. “School boards have the authority and flexibility to address individual requests for accommodations and exemptions from curriculum and classroom activities in accordance with their local policies and individual circumstances.” GRADE BY GRADE
The following is a grade-by-grade brief synopsis of sex ed issues that will be taught beginning this school year. Grade 1: Students will learn to identify body parts, including the penis, testicles, vagina, vulva and to use the correct terminology. Grade 2: The stages of human development will be taught, along with related bodily changes. How to grow up healthy will also be identified. Grade 3: Visible and invisible differences – physical features and abilities, and sexual orientation – will be taught with a view of inclusivity. Showing respect to differences in others will be expected. Grade 4: Changes caused by puberty will be taught, along with the impacts those changes may cause on an emotional and social level.
Grade 5: More on puberty, including the reproductive system, will be learned along with terms like clitoris and scrotum. Grade 6: Stereotypes will be discussed, including homophobia, along with assumptions surrounding gender roles, mental health, and more. Students will learn ways of changing some stereotypes. Grade 7: Abstinence, consent and how to speak about delaying sex with a partner will be taught, along with sexual acts such as anal intercourse and oral sex. Reasons for not having sex and how to consent will be discussed, along with factors such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pregnancy, psychological implications. Grade 8: Sexual orientation topics such as heterosexuality, gay, lesbian, and bisexual will be discussed, along with all six genders: two-spirited, intersex, and more. Students will learn about contraception and condom use, along with STIs. The pros and cons of being in a relationship and breaking up will be explored. Grade 9: Students will know how to prevent unintended pregnancy and STIs. More issues surrounding gender identities – stigma, self-image, religion, media and more – will be
discussed. Grade 10: The factors that go into the decision to have sex will be explored, including peer and family expectations. Myths and statistics related to sexual activity and safe sex will also be taught. Grade 11: Eating and anxiety disorders, depression, illegal drug use, and internet addiction will be learned, along with pro-active health steps such as breast and testicular exams, stress management techniques, and more. Grade 12: Cyber-bullying, along with sexual assault, domestic abuse, and workplace harassment are some issues taught. Developing healthy sexual relationships and examining stereotypes in the media will also be discussed.

Public elementary teachers threaten to escalate job action John Carter
john.carter@metroland.com
Optimism that public elementary school teachers would follow high school and Catholic teachers in reaching a deal with the provincial government has been dashed. Talks between the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) and the provincial government broke down last Friday. As a result, the teachers’ work-to-rule campaign will not end as expected, but will likely accelerated this week. The ETFO is urging the province and school boards to return to the bargaining table, threatening to intensify job action Friday if that doesn’t happen. Elementary teachers in the public system are already balking at doing a number of non-mandatory tasks, including leading field trips and participating in meet-the-teacher events out of regular school hours. In a news release after the province broke off talks, citing lack of progress, the ETFO said it rejecting the Liberal government’s “cookiecutter” approach to reaching a deal. “Premier Wynne wants to impose another union’s deal on ETFO. She
wants to impose a quick deal, not a reasonable deal for elementary teachers to help Mr. Trudeau’s chances in the federal election,” charged ETFO president Sam Hammond. “ETFO is not prepared to accept a flawed deal that does not address our members’ needs and the needs of public elementary students in the long term, just to increase the Liberal Party’s chances in October’s federal election. “A student who is six years old has different educational needs than a student who is 16,” he added. “Anyone with children knows that’s true. As a result, elementary teachers’ working needs will be different than secondary teachers, so the imposition of a cookie-cutter deal just won’t work.” Hammond said the government’s breaking off talks “smacks of the same tactics that the Liberal government used in imposing Bill 115 on our members in 2012. As we said then, it is our democratic right to bargain and the democratic rights of our members cannot be taken away because of political expediency.” Hammond maintained that the issues under discussion at the bargain-
ing table are related to teacher working conditions and student learning conditions, not salary. “We are prepared to escalate our strike action if there is no change on the part of the government and Ontario Public School Boards Association,” he said. “Members have been very public in their support for the action in their schools and social media, which is a clear demonstration of their resolve to achieve an agreement that meets their needs and the needs of their students.” Meanwhile, Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown in a news release said the government has a responsibility to remain at the bargaining table until an agreement is reached. The government’s failure to negotiate is “harming quality education” for 800,000 public elementary students throughout the province, he added, noting ETFO members have been working without a collective agreement for over a year. Schools also face a possible workto-rule campaign by support workers represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE).

Clouthier enters election as independent candidate John Carter
john.carter@metroland.com
Former Liberal MP Hec Clouthier has announced that he will run again in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. The colourful Valley businessman will run as an Independent candidate, as he did in 2011 when he finished second, far behind the Conservative Cheryl Gallant. Clouthier was the riding’s MP in the late 1990s before being defeated by Gallant. He later became an advisor to Prime Minister Jean Chretien. In a statement released just before 10 p.m. Sept. 6, Clouthier said that “after much soul-searching, consultation with my family, and after many, many discussions with voters in this riding, I’ve decided once again to throw my hat into the political race. “I will be running as an Independent candidate in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, giving the people in this riding a real choice for real change right here at home.” Clouthier maintained that “only as an Independent that I can truly represent our people in the federal parliament.” Under the current system, an elected MP affiliated with a political party is ordered by the leader’s office to toe the party line, and what they
John Carter/Metroland
Hec Clouthier has thrown his hat into the ring to run as an Independent candidate in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke in the Oct. 19 federal elecsay and how they vote is something that’s decided in the leader’s office and not by the people who they claim to represent, he said. “Basically they have the MP in their back pocket. Instead of representing our interests to the party and the government, they represent the party’s interest to us. The exact opposite of how it should be. “Well, I’m in nobody’s back pocket,” said Clouthier. “As an Independent, I will speak out and vote on behalf of the people who sent me to Parliament Hill, unlike our current MP, who, unfortunately, is no less a trained seal than most other party politicians.” He charged that was obvious when
Gallant voted to raise the age a Canadian citizen can start collecting their old age pension from 65 to 67, taking about $14,000 out of every senior’s pocket. “Keep in mind that most seniors in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke don’t have their own pension plan, they need the old age pension to survive, unlike Mrs. Gallant, who can retire tomorrow with an MP pension that pays out at about $100,000 a year,” he said. “Talk about a disconnect.” Clouthier called caring for seniors a “sacred trust” and looking after them, and looking out for their interests, is something that benefits everyone. “Why, then, does she support, with her vote, the degradation of the
What you need to vote on Oct. 19 Staff
As Canadians head to the polls on Oct. 19, make sure you’re prepared to cast your ballot with the proper identification at the right spot. If you’ve moved recently you’ll need to update your address, and if you’re a first-time voter you’ll need to register. Check your registration status, update your address and find your polling station at elections.ca. STUDENTS
Student voters can choose to vote in their “home” riding – where they live when they’re not at school – or the riding of their school residence. If voting at school, you’ll need to bring an official document with your local address on it, as well as photo ID, if it isn’t updated with your school address. Utility bills, letters of admission or a lease agreement will all work. If you live on campus in a residence, you might need an administrator to fill out a form attesting to your address – find the form at elections.ca. ID OPTIONS
You can show your driver’s licence or any other government card with your photo, name and current address . If your photo ID doesn’t have your current address, check out elections.ca for a complete list of alternative documents that can help you identify yourself. Here are some of the more common documents you can bring to the poll-
ing station (you will need two): * health card, Canadian passport, citizenship card/certificate or birth certificate * utility bill, bank statement or personal cheque * government cheque or income tax assessment * lease or mortgage contract * credit or debit card * employee or student card * Indian status or band membership card * letter of confirmation of residence or admission form from a student residence, seniors’ residence or long-term care facility. NO PROOF OF ADDRESS
If you do not have photo ID or proof of address, you’ll need to bring two official documents with your name on them, as well as someone who knows you who can attest to where you live. This person must show identification and live in the same polling division.
support system that’s taken so many years, and so many generations, to build? “This, unfortunately, is what you get with party politicians. You get what the party wants. Not what you want,” he said. Clouthier said that as an Independent MP, the government will need to ask for his support to pass legislation. “They cannot, and will not, take me for granted, something that becomes increasingly more important when every poll across the country is emphatic about Canadians electing a minority government. “To get my support, they’ll need to deliver positives for Renfrew-Nipissing- Pembroke,” he added. As a former MP and special adviser in the prime minister’s office, Clouthier said he knows the system inside and out, as well as the key players, including major party leaders Stephen Harper, Tom Mulcair, Justin Trudeau and Elizabeth May. He said he also maintains strong, positive relations with top level bureaucrats, claiming the contacts will be a “huge advantage in getting things done for Renfrew-NipissingPembroke.” “There is no substitute for having access, and my access is your ac-
cess,” he said. Clouthier promised that if he is elected MP mayors, reeves and the Warden of Renfrew County will have real, speed-dial access to him. “They know better than anyone the important issues facing their respective jurisdictions, so their priorities become my priorities,” he said. “Further, another priority of mine is to assist and support our provincial MPP John Yakabuski , a person I know and admire, with any federalrelated issues that arise as part of his responsibilities.” However, he says his number one priority and responsibility will be to the people of Renfrew-NipissingPembroke, to bring their voice to Ottawa, and to let Ottawa know what they have to say about their government, their riding, and the things that are important to them. “This is my promise and, if given the opportunity to be their Independent MP, I can guarantee that I will deliver the goods for our people, something they so richly deserve.” Clouthier joins Gallant, Liberal Jeff Lehoux, the NDP’s Dan McCarthy, the Green’s Stefan Klietsch and Libertarian Steve Fortin in the race to be elected the riding’s MP on Oct. 19.

4-H Canada’s annual meeting in Fredericton. “Agriculture has changed dramatically since 1913, and so has 4-H,” explained 4-H Canada CEO Shannon Benner. “The very pillars of the 4-H program - handson learning, youth leadership development, enrichment of rural communities - will now help youth meet the unique challenges and opportunities they face in our changing rural communities and in an employment sector focused on innovation and technology.” Benner said the change reflects a progressive new era for the 102-yearold organization, with recently implemented programming that reflects the changing world and a growing, dynamic agricultural industry. In addition to more traditional livestockbased projects, 4-H offers members opportunities to develop their skills in emerging areas such as science, technology, engineering and more, with eight per cent of all current projects having a science focus, such as rocketry and auto mechanics. “4-H members are well positioned as we look ahead to the opportunities in Canadian agriculture,” said Farm Credit Canada senior vice-president Lyndon Carlson praised 4-H for helping its members learn employable skills. “The future of agriculture is in good hands,” he said. A recent study by Employment and Social Development Canada concluded that from 2013 to 2022 there will be almost 74,000 projected job openings in Canadian agriculture, but only 49,000 projected job seekers.

money due to Health Canada. Or, provincially, someone who prefers private education should not pay their education tax. “Yes, but all that is not against the deeper, human right of someone’s conscience.” Conscientious objection has a long history in Canada, made most famous by Mennonite opposition to the First World War. It also goes back a long way in U.S. history. In Henry David Thoreau’s 1849 little book Civil Disobedience, penned in jail, he wrote, “If a thousand people were not to pay their tax bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure; as it would be to pay them, and enable the state to commit violence and shed innocent blood.” Gibson said she was influenced by two books: Speak Peace in a World of Conflict, by Marshall B. Rosenberg; and Allow the Water, by Leonard Desroches.

She holds that self-defence could be necessary. She is no pacifist. But like Jesus turning over the tables in the marketplace, she believes some forms of civil disobedience are necessary. She also maintains that Canada unethically profits from promoting violence in foreign lands. Canada sells weapons, she said, ensuring the nation’s business interests are served by escalating tensions among adversaries. However, Gibson understands the slippery-slope argument. Perhaps a tax filer who is ideologically opposed to socialized medicine should withhold
She has responded to both letters. All correspondence has been done through the postal system because it belabours the civil service and “because I have a fountain pen I like to use.” She explained her reasoning in both instances. Gibson is careful to say she doesn’t hold anything against soldiers. She is simply trying to follow the way of her God, Jesus. “I respect our soldiers but yearn for and work for a planet where everyone can live in peace,” she said. “Love your enemy. It’s not an easy way, but it is the Christian way.”

For the first time ever while paying income tax, Elaine M. Gibson withheld the portion that goes to funding the military. She will be among those celebrating International Peace Day at the Galilee Centre on Sept. 20.

line and calculate 7.8 per cent (defence expenditures in 2014 as a percentage of government expenditures) of the amount she entered on this line. She deducted that amount from her cheque to the government. The military portion was entered on a cheque and sent to the Conscience Canada Peace Tax Trust Fund in Kitchener. The organization says it will hold the money in trust and will return it any time it is requested. It uses interest from the Peace Tax Trust Fund for operating expenses. Gibson then sent a letter and a photo of the cheque to Finance Minister Joe Oliver explaining that she would rather support peace than killing. She sent the same to area MP Cheryl Gallant and opposition party leaders. She harbours no regrets. “I feel good about it!” she said. “And I’ll go to jail if I have to. I won’t give (the government) this little bit of money. What are they going to do, throw me in jail? I’m an old lady.” Jail hasn’t been in the picture, but Gibson has received two letters from the government saying she owes the money. She understands others have experienced delays in various payments based presumably on their conscientious objector stance. Some, she said, have indeed gone to jail.

Elaine M. Gibson is working for peace, so she has stopped paying for war. When Gibson - a member of the Arnprior and area chapter of the Canadian Peace Initiative - filed her taxes last spring, she for the first time withheld the portion designated for the Department of National Defence. “I can’t support killing other people’s children, or adults,” said Gibson. “So this year I decided to go to the effort – it’s only 7.8 per cent of my tax bill – a very small amount. But it’s important.” She downloaded one of two forms from Conscience Canada. The one she opted against was one informing the federal government that the tax filer opposes spending money on the military. It’s not an official Income Tax and Benefit Return form, but can be used by those who have no tax payable, have a refund coming, or do not wish to redirect their military taxes but still want to register their objection to paying for war. It is also not a crime to use it. The other option, the one Gibson chose, had her complete her official income tax form down to balance owing, then return to the net federal tax

Make sure your vote counts
T
he Fair Elections Act has made it impossible to vote with just an Elections Canada voter card. The act also introduced uncertainty about what each voter needs to be able to cast a vote. It is exactly that uncertainty that may keep thousands of Canadians home on the couch on voting day. After all, who wants to stand in a line only to be admonished that their ID isn’t up to snuff? It’s exactly that uncertainty a cynic would say the Conservatives sought to introduce with their legislation. The voters most likely to be dissuaded from trying to vote include: • people who have just changed their address (hello students in dorms and off-campus housing). • the homeless – including people who may simply be couch-surfing at friends’ homes due to a temporary hardship. • people on First Nations reserves who may not have acceptable ID, or a need for it outside of voting day. Those categories of wanna-be voters are not amongst those who usually vote Conservative, giving the cynic further reason to doubt the reasons behind the Conservative legislation.
For anyone who isn’t sure if they can vote, the elections.ca website can answer almost any question. And to be doubly sure, one can always visit an advance poll to cast a vote and fix any problems that arise before election day on Oct. 19. There are four advance polls open Oct. 9 to Oct. 12 from noon to 8 p.m. Your advance polling station may be different than your election day station, so check your voter information card or elections.ca. Voting in the upcoming election is important on Oct. 19 to determine the government we get for a few years, but each vote also counts in more subtle ways. Politicians in future elections must weigh the importance of their platform against the demographics. If a segment of the population turns out to vote en masse, their issues are bound to be considered in future elections and in Parliament. It boils down to this: seniors vote, so politicians listen. And young people don’t vote, so their issues can be overlooked. If you feel insignificant in relation to our federal government, you can do something about it by making sure you are eligible to vote and then turning up to cast a ballot.
Stealing maple syrup fair entries shameful
Taking graveyard flowers disturbing To the Editor: Sunday, Sept. 6 was Decoration Day at the White Lake Cemetery. As I always do, I place flowers on several of my family members’ grave sites in remembrance of them. When I went to pick up the flowers on Monday afternoon, the potted mums that were placed on my Dad’s and his brother’s grave sites were no longer there. Unfortunately, this is not the first time this has happened. It is very disturbing to realize that we live in a society where some people have no respect

for those who have passed on or for those left behind to mourn them. To the person or person(s) who took the flowers, I hope you sleep well at night. I hope the flowers you stole bring you much happiness since you felt they were too beautiful to leave at the headstones of my loved ones. I say this with much sarcasm, as there is nothing worse than someone who would steal from the dead. You should be ashamed of yourself.

To the Editor: Firstly, I would like to thank Judy Dobec and her team of many for the wonderful job they do with the Renfrew Fair. Unfortunately, the weather this past weekend was not the best, but the enthusiasm and fun was undeniable. Secondly, to the thief or thieves who stole maple syrup
competition entries, I hope you really proud of yourself(ves)! The exhibitors work very hard to produce top quality entries for the fair and the competition amongst local producers is for many one of the highlights of this very successful local agricultural fair. To steal any entry is really low-handed and mean-spirited and you should be ashamed of
yourself(ves). I understand this is not the first time this has happened and because of this some entry categories are now placed behind protective barriers, as is the plan for the maple syrup, adding further cost and work for all the volunteers. Cathy, John Brady Braeside

Bag tags would help school bus drivers dents and then waited for us. I understand the first few days can be confusing, and the scheduling system as whole is complex - but in the end it’s the individual bus drivers who have to make that call. I was shocked to hear that the driver let the child off with no one there. The schools should send JK and SK students a ‘bag tag’ (similar to what was mentioned in your article) which says the school they’re going to, the bus number and that they’re ‘under-age’ to be getting on and off the bus without a parent or other caregiver present. We did receive a bag tag when our daughter went to JK, (but not SK), but she only got it after going to school for one or two days. Paul Mak White Lake
But the conflict doesn’t end when more armies join it, and in fact it creates exactly the circumstances we witness today, with a full third of Syria’s population displaced, and 4.1 million registered as refugees. The truth is, Canada has not only not done its fair share to ease the misery, but it has taken an actively anti-refugee stance under Stephen Harper’s leadership. In 2012, this government passed Bill C-31 to make it harder for refugees to seek asylum in Canada. Then-Immigration Minister Jason Kenney implied that the bill was in response to “bogus” refugee claimants “queue-jumping” through the system, although evidence of this was not presented, and the bill was condemned by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and Amnesty International.
I vividly remember when, in June 2014, our current Minister for Immigration, Chris Alexander, hung up on a CBC radio host when she attempted to get a straight answer about how many Syrian refugees were in Canada. He tried to spin the number as 1,200, when actually fewer than 200 were in Canada at that time. More recently, the Harper Conservatives have sneeringly criticized Justin Trudeau in an attack ad for wanting to help Syrian refugees. But suddenly today, now that the heartbreaking image of a drowned toddler has finally jolted a nation into wakefulness, the Minister has suspended his campaigning and tried to put on the mantle of compassion. It doesn’t fit. Allison Gibson Arnprior

Canada not doing enough to help Syrian refugees To the Editor: The world has, finally, been moved by the images of Syrian refugees desperate to find asylum in Europe and elsewhere. They are regular people caught in a civil war between a brutal, antidemocratic government and opposition forces, and they have the even greater misfortune to find opportunistic groups like ISIS trying to establish power where that conflict affords a foothold. Tiny neighboring countries such as Lebanon and Jordan have opened their arms to millions of Syrians over the past four years, but war continues, and the refugees increase in both numbers and desperation. So what has Canada done to help? Our PM would tell you that our military involvement is the answer, rooting out terror.

To the Editor: I just read your article (most of it anyway) in the Chronicle-Guide (Sept. 10). The only point I have to make about this is that in the one case the bus driver let a kindergarten student off the bus with no adult present whether or not it was the right stop. They’re supposed to call their office, which in turn tries to get a hold of the parents. We had this happen once or twice last year when our daughter was in Senior Kindergarten at John XXIII in Arnprior. We were a bit late showing up at the bus stop and our bus driver kept our daughter on the bus until we got there. I felt bad that I had held up the driver from his route, but thankfully we’re the second last stop on the way home - he dropped off the other stu-
In my last column I mentioned the fact we were having a by-election on September 3rd. As a result of that byelection, my leader Patrick Brown took his seat when the Legislature resumed September 14th. This is going to make for a very interesting fall session as he will now have the opportunity to directly hold Kathleen Wynne accountable from across the aisle. During the campaign I made several trips to Simcoe North to assist the local team that worked diligently to have Patrick elected. An interesting dynamic that played out in Simcoe North was how hard the Liberals worked to try and deny Patrick Brown victory. They threw everything at him but the kitchen sink, desperately trying to avoid the scenario that our victory has now assured. It is clear that Kathleen Wynne is not eager to debate Patrick Brown on the problems that Ontario faces as a result of her government’s mismanagement. The magnitude of Patrick Brown’s victory—winning almost 54 percent of the vote, which is 10 percent more than Garfield Dunlop received in the 2014 General Election— sends a strong message to the Liberals. In spite of the fact that the Premier and several cabinet Ministers had made several visits during the by-election, people aren’t buying their message. In fact, they’re delivering one back to the Liberals: things have got to change before Ontario is hurt even more. That message was delivered to me very clearly in a recent visit to Ameliasburgh—a little community south of Belleville where I participated in an energy roundtable hosted by my colleague Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith. The anger directed towards the energy policies of this government were clearly expressed by the people in attendance. The cost of electricity is hurting everybody right across Ontario. It does not matter whether you are a business owner or an individual, it is getting tougher each day. One of the biggest issues at that meeting was the potential for some large-scale wind farms on Amherst Island and Ostrander Point. It appears that the government concealed evidence when it comes to the damage this wind farm could inflict on endangered species in the area. This government will quickly shut down a forestry operation or a construction site over the slightest hint that there may be potential to threaten endangered species. Yet when it comes to “Big Wind” farms, the government has issued permits to give the developers the ability to kill, Harm, or harass endangered. It seems they are interested in protection of endangered species except when it comes to “Big Wind” and the Green Energy Act. Could it be that the money being made by Liberal supporters is just too tempting? In my last column I talked about how these big energy developers are offering large incentives to municipalities to sign on to these projects—these instances are spreading across rural Ontario. You have to ask yourself, if someone is offering huge amounts of money to get a municipality to sign on, how much do they expect to make—off the backs of those who can least afford it—over the life of the energy contracts? While the rich get richer, those who are already being hurt by higher electricity bills, end up paying for it. The cost for maintaining these contracts keeps going up and it will be demonstrated once again when the rates are adjusted November 1st. The government keeps insisting that the Ontario Energy Board sets the price of electricity. Technically they’re correct, but it is the policy of this government that determines how much that electricity costs. If the provider of electricity can show that their costs have gone up, then the Ontario Energy Board has no option but to grant them an increase. The fact that the Liberal Government continues to allow the Independent Electricity System Operator to sign these contracts will ensure that the price continues to go up. A change in policy is needed now before it is too late. The kids are back in classes, school buses are on the roads— please drive carefully.

Arnprior funeral director was our guardian angel To the Editor: Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly. - Anonymous There is a Guardian Angel residing in Arnprior, and Arnprior is blessed to have him. Andre Pilon is a living angel to those, here on earth, who have lost a loved one. When my mother passed away in in April of 2012, the benevolence, kindness, and support with which Andre treated my father and our family was extraordinary. His compassion has remained with me to this day. In early August of this year, my granddaughter passed away. This tragedy was devastating to our family, rendering us unsure of where to turn, or what to do next. My thoughts turned again to Andre. Not only did he handle this heart-breaking event
with professionalism and expertise, he seamlessly took care of every detail. Andre expressed great and genuine sympathy to our daughter, Leanne, and Darryl in their time of unspeakable sorrow, and, for this, we are forever in his debt. Andre’s service was unforgettable, a tribute not only to the granddaughter we have lost, but a blessing, as well, to those family members who will always love her. Loss is inevitable. What is rare are the souls who take our own into their hands … guiding us gently through our confusion and our pain. Andre Pilon is a rare soul, who has helped lift many to their feet when we have forgotten how to fly. With gratitude. The McHardy family Ottawa

To the Editor: Since all we tend to do today is take the time to complain, I would take the time to compliment the nurses at the Arnprior Hospital for the extraordinary job they did when my daughter Catherine had surgery last week. Her surgery wasn’t the most important one that day, nor the most complicated, but she was very anxious and ill at ease.
Marilyn and Sophie, the nurses in the Day Surgery Clinic, took the time to ease her mind and help her pass the time until her procedure. During and after the procedure, the surgical and recovery room nurses spoke to me twice to let me know that everything had gone well and that Cat was fine. This personal and caring commitment to their patients
was so refreshing and comforting. Dr. Andrea Gustaskus, as always, was excellent and caring. Catherine said if she has to have any more surgery she wants to come to the Arnprior Hospital. From a grateful mom. Sharon Gray Arnprior

MP’s many ‘nay’ votes shows where she stands To the Editor: As you prepare to cast your vote in the Oct. 19 federal election, you should consider the issues to which our incumbent MP is opposed. Here is a summary of some of her ‘nay’ votes in the House. 1. The Senate Scandal: On Oct. 23, 2013 she voted against a motion to limit Senators’ travel allowances to those activities clearly and directly related to parliamentary business. On Nov. 6, 2013 she voted
against a motion to allow a parliamentary committee to investigate the conduct of the Prime Minister’s Office regarding the repayment of Senator Mike Duffy’s expenses. On Nov. 26, 2013 she voted against a motion condemning the PMO for obstructing a Deloitte audit of Senate expenses and the whitewashing of a Senate report. 2. Pensions and Employment Insurance: On Dec. 9, 2013 she voted against
a motion that would immediately increase benefits from the Canada Pensions Plan. On June 8, 2015 she voted against a motion that employment insurance premiums paid by employers and workers must be used exclusively to finance benefits for unemployed workers and their families. 3. Canada Post: On Jan. 28, 2014 she voted against maintaining door delivery by Canada Post. 4. Veterans’ Affairs:
Prime Minister’s actions inconsistent To the Editor: Response to letter from Margaret Lindsay on Aug. 13 (Chronicle-Guide). Yes, Mr. Harper has two degrees in Economics from the University of Calgary. Then, why has the Harper government, after inheriting a surplus from the Liberal government, run a string of six straight deficits between 2008-09 and 2013-14? Yes, Mr. Harper made an official apology for Residential School abuse. Let’s look at the present day. He has refused to call an inquiry into the death and disappearance of native women.
Yes, Mr. Harper received the Presidential Medallion for Humanitarianism in 2011. Where does he stand today on the refugee crisis in Syria? Canada must step up to the plate. Yes, we are privileged to live in Canada. We have a responsibility to vote on Oct. 19. Let us vote wisely. Let us vote for a government that will respect science and allow our scientists to speak, restore the long form Canadian Census and respect democracy. Elizabeth Stewart Waba
Don’t let old party loyalties determine your vote To the Editor: To all those in your 20s, 30s and early 40s who proudly declare you are continuing the family tradition of voting for the same party as your parents, grandparents and even great grandparents when you support Cheryl Gallant, you are wrong. Ms. Gallant belonged to the Reform party, then as an Alliance MP defeated Bob Amaron, the last Progressive Conservative candidate in 2000. She is quite content to sit in the back corner of the House
of Commons and is mocking you to the tune of $360,000 of your taxes a year. She does not share your values of loyalty, heritage and integrity. Why do you support her? Your parents broke from your grandparents’ tradition in 2000. This election start your own tradition of examining the issues and voting for a candidate who respects your values. Leanne Kernaghan Arnprior
On Feb. 3, 2014 she voted against a motion that the men and women of the Canadian armed forces should be able to count on the government for support in their time of need. Specifically, the government should (a) immediately address the mental health crisis facing Canadian soldiers and veterans by hiring appropriate mental health professionals; (b) by reversing the decision to close veterans’ offices; and (c) completing over 50 outstanding boards of
inquiry on military suicides so that grieving families may have closure. On Feb. 24, 2014 she voted against an amendment to the budget that would have stopped cuts of billions of dollars from the health care plans of veterans, RCMP officers and other public service retirees. Knowledge is power. Please make an informed decision in the upcoming election. David Stewart Arnprior
Don’t regress and vote again for Stockwell Day To the Editor: Can anyone remember Stockwell Day in his wet suit on his Sea Doo? It was in 2000, 15 years ago that voters of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke chose him to be Prime Minister of Canada. Now, it seems almost absurd. Our current MP was original elected as a Canadian Alliance member, one of only two in Ontario. The Canadian Alliance disappeared. Stockwell Day disappeared. Peter McKay, the last Progressive Conservative leader has left politics. Leaders such as Joe Clark and Brian Mulroney have distanced themselves from the new party. The long tradition of Progressive Conservatism in the Ottawa Valley ended. Many of the issues of the 2000 election are not relevant today. Arnprior lost many of the small manufacturers that kept it independent and is turning into a
bedroom community of Ottawa. The military has become the main employer in the riding. In 2000, post-war PTSD, employment challenges and accompanying domestic violence and drug use issues were unheard of. The challenges of economic recession, infrastructure deficits and increasing unemployment are the issues of today. We need a government that will develop the economy to rebuild. We need a government that will reflect the aspirations of the majority of the population. We need a government that is interested in more than the self-interest of clinging to power through various name changes. Please vote on Oct. 19, and not for Stockwell Day. Manou Ghadaksaz Arnprior

Candidates offer democratic reforms for Parliament Hill Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
From the Pacific Scandal that accused Sir John A. Macdonald’s government of accepting bribes in the 1870s to the Duffy trial of today, a significant topic during many federal elections is ethics; specifically which party has the best plan to clean up Ottawa. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Liberal candidate Jeff Lehoux pointed to solutions put in place at the party level, and others promised if in power. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau “kicked out” Liberal senators; they no longer attend weekly caucus meetings to participate in planning and decision-making, he noted. He said senators should be appointed by a third party process that is open and transparent, similar to supreme court nominees and Order of Canada recipients. A Liberal government would also have fewer whipped votes; MPs would be free to vote their conscience and constituents’ interests more often. The first-past-the-post election system would be overhauled, which could see more, smaller parties in the House of Commons. The Liberals would also loosen access to information regulations. However, the best way to improve ethics on Parliament Hill, he said, is to vote in a new party at least every decade or so. Even the Liberals of the 1990s, he added, needed to sit in opposition for a time. “When a party’s in power too long they work more and more toward the party ideology,” said
Lehoux. “It’s good to clean house and vote in a new party every so often.” Asked if he ever wondered whether getting into politics was an unethical act (assuming power corrupts), the Renfrew resident didn’t hesitate. “Every single day,” he said. “Then I remember that I’m getting into it because I know our country can do better. I fought for this country in Afghanistan; the work I did in Africa; we need more people that want to serve their country.” NEW DEMOCRATS
The riding’s NDP candidate Dan McCarthy doesn’t believe he would be corrupted by the system. “I am not seeking to be a power broker,” he said. “My entire career (as a labour lawyer) has been to look out for working class people. Even as a high school teacher I always looked out for that socially awkward kid. Equality and the common good, that’s what I’m bringing to my candidacy.” A New Democrat government, said the Burnstown resident, would reverse the trend started by Liberals and accelerated by Conservatives of concentrating power in the prime minister’s office (PMO). The 94-member, $9 billion PMO will not dominate Canada’s democracy, he said. Cynics might say his party would be no different in power, a charge he acknowledges. “We’re going to have to earn that trust,” said
McCarthy. “The level of cynicism is very high. Low voter turnout is proof of that. And changing that culture is not easy.” He listed several other solutions to win over sceptics. There would be no more massive omnibus bills in a New Democrat government. A factbased approach to policy-making will return, meaning scientists will no longer be “muzzled,” he said. The various officers of parliament – budget, privacy, a resumed environmental – will be made fully independent. Ministries will be compelled to provide officers with data. Freedom of Information requests will be honoured again. He indicated that empty rhetoric and sloganeering doesn’t win over the majority of Canadians. He pointed to his leader Tom Mulcair’s work during Question Period – short, incisive questions – as a means to bring rational discourse back to politics. “That really changed how we do politics in this country,” McCarthy said. “It got us to substantive issues again.” GREEN PARTY
Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Green candidate Stefan Klietsch cited numerous solutions, including Michael Chong’s Reform Act. It was designed to give MPs in a party caucus the power to trigger a leadership review, and to subsequently vote to oust their leader. But it was watered down, Klietsch said. He favours television cameras in the House
of Commons to nab hecklers and shame them for bad behaviour. He would require the party leader’s face appear in attack ads they produce. “There are plenty of ideas to create a better atmosphere on Parliament Hill,” said Klietsch, who grew up in the Renfrew area. “I support voter recall, proportional representation, access to information requests on MP offices.” He has no problem with opening the constitution to make government more accountable. On senate reform/abolition, Klietsch would like to see a referendum. “Anything is better than the status quo with the senate,” he said. Even with the reforms instituted by the governing Conservative party, Klietsch suggested increasing partisanship is making work on the hill dysfunctional. “I think things have gotten worse in the house. How does that happen in spite of changes? The PMO is clever at creating new tricks,” he said. “It’s been a long term trend exacerbated by the current prime minister.” On the assertion that he, Klietsch, might not be any more immune to bad behaviour than those in place now, only a slight hesitation. “I don’t think I will,” he said. “There isn’t an unethical way for a Green to win. Green candidates can’t be protected by a base of support. We must be open in the face of criticism and substantive ideas.” Conservative candidate Cheryl Gallant could not be reached for comment and independent Hec Clouthier declared after the story had been completed.

Local rider wins another provincial equestrian championship After a long season of competing across Eastern Ontario in the Trillium Equestrian circuit, McNab-Braeside resident Stephanie Skarica recently qualified for and successfully competed at the Ontario Provincial Equestrian Show Jumping Championships. Her results at the event Sept. 3-6 at the Caledon Pan Am Equestrian Park in Toronto were outstanding, as she represented the Upper Ottawa Valley with talent, determination, class, style and humility, winning a provincial title and being reserve champion in another division. Skarica, who rides out of JCS Stables on Scheel Drive in McNab-Braeside, was up against 40 of the best riders and horses in Eastern Ontario just to make the provincials. It was her second championship in two years. The Provincial Championships bring the top seven horse/ rider combinations from each competitive division of the seven area zones in Ontario. Points are accumulated from each show of the season to determine a horse/riders position
in a particular zone’s standings at season’s end. Skarica competed at 11 shows throughout the summer in the Eastern Ontario zone. She participated in the large pony hunter 2’9”, Trillium Hunter 3’3”, ‘A’ equitation over fences, and ‘A’ equitation on the flat divisions. She rode her pony Circassian in the Large Pony Hunter division and her horse Rohan in the Trillium Hunter division. Additionally, Taylor Mulligan of Merrickville competed with Skarica’s horse Rohan in the Low Hunter 3’ division. After 11 shows throughout the region in the Eastern zone, Skarica finished the season in first in the Large Pony Hunter division to win the Eastern zone championship. This allowed her to qualify Circassian for the provincial championships. There were 12 competitors in the Eastern zone throughout the season in this division. In the Trillium Hunter division, Skarica also finished the season in first to win her second Eastern zone championship for the year and secure a spot for Rohan at the provincial

In the ‘A’ Equitation over fences division, Skarica finished the season in first to win her third Eastern zone championship for the year and secure a spot at the provincial championships. There were nine competitors in the Eastern zone throughout the season in
this division. In the ‘A’ Equitation on the flat division, Skarica finished the season in fifth, securing a spot at the provincial championships. There were 11 competitors in the Eastern zone throughout the season in this division. In the Low Hunter division, Mulligan finished second riding Rohan, also securing a spot at the provincial champi-

onships. There were 19 competitors in the Eastern zone throughout the season in this division. At the Caledon Pan Am Equestrian park, the event brought together the best horse/ rider combinations from across the seven area zones in Ontario to compete for the much coveted provincial championship awards. Each division consisted of four jumping rounds and
a flat class (5 classes total) over a two-day period with points earned in each class. Horse/riders finishing in the top 10 for a particular class earned a ribbon. Each first-place class winner was awarded a silver plate in addition to the first-place ribbon. The horse/rider combination with the most points earned across the five classes earned the much coveted provincial championship honour. The Trillium Hunter 3’ 3” jumping division consisted of 34 competitors from across Ontario. Skarica and her horse Rohan earned a 1st, two 3rds, and a 4th in their five classes placing her in first overall to win the provincial championship in this division. The Large Pony Hunter division consisted of 38 competitors from across Ontario. Skarica and her pony Circassian earned a 1st, a 2nd, and 7th in their five classes placing her in second overall (by one point) and earning her Reserve Champion honours in this division.

For birds death comes swiftly through the air There are many truths in Nature. One is that every living thing is food for other organisms. Another is that death lurks around every corner. And not just in every tree and across every leaf. Death also comes swiftly through the air. With bird migration in full swing, the purveyors of death are busy perfecting their craft. When songbirds or shorebirds gather at feeding sites in the fall, raptorial birds are usually not far away.
Recently I watched a young Sharp-shinned Hawk hone in on a warbler that foolishly tried to relocate to another tree while the hawk sat nearby. Sharp-shinneds are one of the three species of bird hawks (accipiters) that occur in our area. With short wings and long tails, these agile hunters easily navigate through trees and can quickly change direction in open air. The warbler, likely a Common Yellowthroat, performed frantic aerial maneuvers as it tried to escape the lethal claws
MICHAEL RUNTZ
This Peregrine Falcon flies by the author as he watches shorebirds at the Almonte Sewage Ponds.
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way of its pursuer. It twisted and flew around a large shrub, but the determined hawk matched it move for move. When the little bird made a desperate attempt to dash into the roadside foliage, the hawk intercepted it, drove it to the ground, and snatched it with its sharp talons. Then, with prize clutched firmly in its feet, the Sharp-shinned flew away to enjoy its meal in privacy. Although Sharp-shinned Hawks are fast enough to catch fleeing warblers, no bird of prey is faster than a falcon. With sharply pointed wings

and powerful flight muscles, Peregrine Falcons are the fastest birds alive. During their famous dives known as stoops, speeds of up to 300 kilometres per/hour have been recorded. The usual modus operando of this species is to climb high above a flying prey, then plummet down like a speeding bullet, striking its victim with its
hard feet, either breaking its neck with closed fist or tearing it open with a talon trailing free. Recently at Almonte Sewage Ponds I watched an adult Peregrine put fear into the hearts of sandpipers feeding in one of the semi-drained lagoons. It must have been well fed for it made no real effort

To celebrate the recent publication of Michael Runtz’s long awaited book on beavers, Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust invites the public to the beaver pond at High Lonesome Nature Reserve this Saturday, Sept. 19. Runtz himself will be on hand to do a show-and-tell about this Canadian icon and its habitat. Could there be a better venue for one of Runtz’s engaging presentations, with frogs croaking, bees buzzing, birds chirping, and meanwhile the winds blowing gently through the tall pines and rippling the surface of the pond? Will the resident beavers make a guest appearance? Following an introduction on the beavers and their role in the ecosystem, Runtz will lead participants around the pond, as he shares his passion and knowledge of this special part of the natural world he has been observing and studying for 30 years. This special event will likely reveal some curious secrets about beaver behaviors. If you are not already a collector of the previous colourful and substantive Runtz books, by the end of the morning you may be tempted to obtain a copy of his Dam Builders: The Natural History of Beavers and Their Ponds. Registration for Saturday’s event starts at 9:30 a.m. and the presentation
Merlins usually pluck a prey’s meat off the bones, but this one in Britannia swallowed a leg and foot intact.
to catch any of the terrified birds. After making a casual cruise past me, it landed in a dead tree. As it sat there, a Merlin, its smaller cousin, landed not far from it in the same tree. Merlins have been quite apparent over the past few weeks. Last week I came across one of these small falcons perched atop a pole near the Britannia Yacht Club. A rain of feathers indicated it was plucking a hapless songbird that it had captured. To my surprise, it pulled one of its victim’s legs free and began to swallow it. Usually a hawk or falcon plucks the meat off a prey’s bones so I was amazed to see an entire leg with foot intact being swallowed. However, like owls, falcons grind up indigestible items in their gizzard, later regurgitating the refuse as a balllike pellet. That would have been one heck of a pellet coughed out by the Merlin!

Tim Hortons customers at both Arnprior restaurants can buy a freshly baked chocolate chunk Smile Cookie all week for $1 plus tax, with 100 per cent of the proceeds being donated by Tim Hortons owners to support local charities, hospitals and community programs. The cookies have been sold since Monday (Sept.14) and will continue to be available until Sunday, Sept. 20. “Partners in Caring is honored to be chosen as this year’s recipient. We encourage everyone to drop by one of Arnprior’s two locations of Tim Hortons,” said Arnprior Regional Health’s Partners in Caring chair Karen Graham. “Each dollar goes directly to Partners in Caring and stays in our community,” she added. “Last year this campaign raised $10,000.

Skarica competed well in her A Equitation classes, but did not receive any awards. The Low Hunter 3’ jumping division consisted of 37 competitors. Mulligan riding Rohan earned two 1sts, a 2nd, and a 3rd in their five classes placing first overall to win the provincial championship in this division. On the final day, Skarica and Mulligan also competed in their respective Hunter Jumping Classic divisions. The divisions consist of two jumping rounds, each judged and scored to create a combined two-round total score. Skarica and Circassian finished in third (out of 32 competitors) in the Large Pony Hunter Jumping Classic. Mulligan and Rohan finished in second (out of 31 competitors) in the Low Hunter Jumping Classic. Fans of the sports say it was an “absolutely incredible showing on the big stage for Stephanie Skarica and her horses Circassian and Rohan, as well as an extremely proud moment for JCS Stables and the little township of McNab-Braeside.” “After seven years of working hard, being dedicated and extremely determined, Skarica has once again achieved a truly incredible goal. To win a provincial championship at this level for the second year in a row is truly amazing.”

Imagine sharing a classroom with students of all ages, with brothers and sisters, and spending first through sixth grade taught by the same teacher? The Pakenham Fair Aug. 15 featured the launching of Rural Schools of Pakenham, the
eighth in a series of 12 books to be published by Archives Lanark, detailing the one-room schools in each of the original townships of Lanark County. Almonte resident George Stewart put Rural Schools of Pakenham together, with help from wife Cynthia Stewart and Archives Lanark director Frances Rathwell. “There was a big push in the last year (to
finished it),” said George. He called the experience “good.” Series
Over the years other books published by Lanark Archives include: Rural Schools of Beckwith, Rural Schools of Dalhousie, Rural Schools of Drummond, Rural Schools of Lanark, Rural Schools of Lavant/Darling, Rural Schools of North Elmsley and Rural Schools of Ramsay. Rural Schools of Pakenham, which sells for $45, is available at Mill Street Books in Almonte and Archives Lanark in Drummond Centre, online at www.archiveslanark.ca or by calling George at 613-256-3756. The hardcover book details the history of education in Pakenham from the early days of the 19th century to September 1968, which is
when the rural schools closed and children took the bus from all corners of the township to the new public school in the village. “Each school section is documented,” George said, “as well as the continuation school (high school).” The continuation school was constructed in 1886, he added, and the year 1899 saw the first female principal come to Pakenham. The 233-page book encompasses class pictures, the various textbooks used by students, personal memories and so much more. “There is a list of teachers from as early as the 1840s,” George said, “and we even have some sample teacher contracts.” Rural Schools of Pakenham was printed in Carleton Place at Ferguson Graphics and binded at Smiths Falls Bookbinding Ltd. “I met so many people putting this book together,” George said.

New-look Hens and Chicks gala to support KidsSport tendees for a chance at the door prize. A 50/50 draw and raffle table are also part of the fun. Tickets are available at Northern Credit Union in Arnprior or by calling 613913-2972. R0031953110
The Hens and Chicks Committee has undergone major changes this year. The ninth annual gala will be held Nov. 14 in Arnprior, but instead of supporting and being organized by Communities in Bloom, this year’s extravaganza will be a fundraiser for the local KidSport chapter. Proceeds will go to helping local children who can’t afford to participate in organized sports. The Communities in Bloom group is on board with the change as it still receives some funding from the Town of Arnprior. The committee has raised over $30,000 for Communities in Bloom and various charities over the past eight years. The committee has several new members with fresh ideas on how to run the November gala, which invites local women to bring their dancing shoes and enjoy a ‘Night on the Red Carpet’ at the Nick Smith Centre. The new volunteer committee contributors have a range of backgrounds in marketing, photography, communication, finance, fundraising, food services and entertainment. They invite women to “join us in building better childhoods for the children who need organizations like KidSport.” They are also partnering with several community sponsors to make the event possible. “Come dressed in your best gown
or in your favorite celebrity red carpet outfit – it doesn’t matter as long as you come out and have a good time,” said Calley Mosley, who is helping organize fundraiser. “Tickets went on sale Sept. 14, so get your friends together to get in on a table,” said Mosley. The Hens and Chicks evening, which runs 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., will feature live entertainment by Schnob Disc Jockey Services, hour d’oeuvres and a dessert bar. Local acoustic guitarists, Steve Miller and Mitch Desilets, will be the opening entertainment. Women can get together and fill a table of eight. “We are encouraging everyone to come dressed up as they would to walk the red carpet, there will be a variety of awards presented based on our theme,” said Mosley. “We would like to invite not only the local women, but the local businesses in town to purchase a table,” she added. Space has been set-aside for those who do not have enough ladies to fill a table but would like to attend. Although the event has a cash bar, complimentary wine will be provided for a portion of the evening. “This year we’re also introducing a signature cocktail where proceeds of our Red Carpet Martini will be further added to the donation in support of our local KidSport chapter,” said Mosley. Tickets cost $40 and qualify at-

Get the Flu shot. Anytime. Any day.*
Protect yourself and everyone else.
Life is tough sometimes….really tough. Things happen that can push us too close to the edge. The edge between “Good and Evil”, the edge between “Life and Death”. Not everyone experiences this in their life, but many do and some even live close to this edge all the time. Nobody would know just by looking into their faces.They just look like you and me…happy go lucky…but nobody has even the slightest idea of how devastating it looks deep inside their soul.Their suffering is so intense that they think they’ll loose their mind.

If you’ve been suffering from anything like this, there is hope, there is treatment for everything and everyone, even though we may not think anyone can help.

thank you god
This happened with a patient of mine. After her husband betrayed her, lied to her and completely deceived her, she was in complete and utter disbelief, actually she was completely in shock. She told me. “One night when I was eating my meal, I just looked at the steak knife and thought - I could jam that right into my throat.” In a total panic she put the knife far away and thought “OMG, how far did I come? Shall I go to the Royal Ottawa or what?” She calmed herself down and came to see me for treatment. Her psychotic episodes lessened and she has found new hope and joy in her life and realizes “Nobody is worth it to kill myself for! I have a right to live and I want to live and I left the “garbage” behind. Every day is a new beginning and I thank you so much for your help.”

I’m not sure of the (other) teams in our league, because I haven’t seen any of them before. “The start of the season will be as exciting to me as to our players, just feeling the new league out,” he said.

ICF world championships success with Canadians sharing in the medals scottcampbell@metroland.com
“The best world championships we’ve ever been to.” Those words, said Matt McGuire, marketing director at Wilderness Tours, were commonly spoken by many athletes, as the International Canoe Federation (ICF) Freestyle Canoe and Kayak World Championships wrapped after six days of paddle action. Wilderness Tours held an evening closing ceremony on Sept. 5 as the event saw more than 200 competitors from 29 countries involved. “Athletes from the warmer countries never had any idea Canada could get so hot,” quipped McGuire. The temperatures in the area jumped high into the hot and humid range during the final stretch of the competition. “I’ve said it before, but we are spoiled rotten brats for the quality of the whitewater we have here,” said McGuire. “We didn’t have any plans of hosting and then the ICF approached us at the 2013 championships. We usually have 24 to 28 months to plan, but this was only 14 months.” Being a Pan Am Games year, there was no funding available from the federal and provin-
cial governments, so expenses were covered by Wilderness Tours and corporate sponsors. Overall, McGuire called the event a success. According to the official website, this was the third time the Ottawa River has played to the championships. The first time in 1997 at McCoy’s Chute, then again on the Buseater in 2007 to the Garberator this year. McGuire noted that no other river has hosted the championships so many times. The top level paddlers broke numerous world records on the Garberator wave, which showed spectacularly what the Ottawa River can offer. There was plenty of help for the event from Renfrew County and Whitewater Region to make it all work and to the power and hydro companies for getting optimal river flow conditions from training to the competition. “I’m really proud of the paddlers,” he said. “The squirt competition was world-class and the men’s K1 final was the best of the best.” McGuire noted while only a few Canadians came away with medals, many more had landed in top 10 slots. Canadian Nick Troutman was a local fan favourite. He calls Beachburg his hometown after all. See MEDALS, page 29

Award-winning speaker encourages students to talk about anxiety Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The return to school can also signal the return to stress, anxiety, and even panic attacks for some students. Twenty-year-old Meggan Poirier doesn’t miss school a whole lot these days. It was a stressful time for her, especially during the middle grades. A peanut allergy led to bullying, which brought on weight problems, depression, severe anxiety, and panic attacks. At 10, Poirier weighed just 50 lb. She was always draped in baggy clothing to hide her physique. Bags under her eyes, thin and pale, she looked like a young drug addict. Kids at her Fitzroy area schools (now closed) would threaten her life with peanut butter. She even stopped playing soccer at a later point; a difficult thing for an athletic person who finds stress-relief in team sports. She didn’t tell anyone how she felt, so a diagnosis, let alone a solution, was out of the picture. She was alone in one long nightmare. “The bullying got too much for me to handle and I just did not want to go to school anymore,” Poirier said. “Nobody would believe that there was anything wrong with me. Teachers told me to suck it up and I was lying. I ended up switching schools halfway through Grade 5.” Then came the ultimate breakdown. She had her first panic attack. “I was at a friend’s Halloween party. I was fine and all of a sudden I felt like my chest was being crushed. I started seeing double and was really hot.”
Derek Dunn/Metroland
Meggan Poirier is a successful motivational speaker today, encouraging kids to talk about their anxiety and other mental illness issues. But it wasn’t always that way. One summer she was too panic-stricken to play soccer. She was rushed to CHEO and underwent a battery of tests, including a CT scan. She heard the doctor asking her parents, Patty and John, about a possible history of brain tumours or aneurysms in the family. However, with her parents involved and professionals nearby, many of her problems would be put behind her. Medication, four years of
counselling, and a dietician to correct her eating issues: she was heading down the right path. But not completely. The panic attacks seemed to be coming in waves. She had one on the soccer field, which prevented her from playing. At least her parents and coach were behind her. Every game she would don the uniform and
cleats, and stand on sidelines. She laughs about it now. But at the time she simply could not step on the field and, in her mind, invite another attack. “It was the championship game and my coach (Peter Green) said, ‘You can just go up and down this side of the field and as soon as you give the signal I’ll take you off.’ So I did it,” Poirier said. “We won.” Spunky, competitive – Poirier likes to win. And it is that winning attitude the helped her through the darkness. That and her family. They made sacrifices, such as driving her to school many-a-day because she couldn’t bear climbing into a bus. John is convinced more money is needed for children who suffer from mental illness. His family had the means to pay some costs out of pocket, but it isn’t fair for others who can’t. “These are our children,” John said. “There definitely needs to be a lot more funding for mental health.” Even with loved ones looking out for her, moments of isolation would creep in. “There were many nights that I would just cry and fear to do anything. I got invited to birthday parties and would not go. I didn’t want to be away from my parents,” she said. “Dealing with anxiety and everything really did put my life on hold.” Grade 8 found her at a new school where things grew brighter. High school in Arnprior, though, proved a setback at first. Within the first week of high school she got in touch with support councillor Amy Welch, who is now at McNab Public School.

Arnprior continues rewarding customers who have shopped locally with a monthly reward of $100. The prize can be spent at any of the participating businesses in Arnprior.
According to the town marketing and economic development officer Lindsay Wilson, there are now about 56 merchants participating in the shop locally initiative; two locations were just added a couple weeks ago. Since summer started the number has increased from 50 businesses. Customers can pick up cards to be stamped
from stores involved in the shop local program or at town hall. Donna Jorgensen had moved from Kinburn about a year ago to Arnprior and she was the lucky winner for August. “We had 163 entries for August,” said Wil-

Healing in the Valley is “super excited” to be back in Arnprior this Saturday, Sept. 19 for its eighth annual Wellness and Craft Show, says organizer Koula Cover. The event is being held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre community hall. There will be about 36 vendors attending this year” to make it one of the best events yet,” says Cove. “We have some returning vendors, but also have many new ones showcasing their fabulous products and services. It is a great opportunity to come on out, spend the day with us and get a jump start on your gift giving – or better yet – pamper yourself just because you deserve it.” As always the event is free admission, but there will be a collection of non-perishable items for the Arnprior and District Food Bank. In addition, all proceeds from a silent auction will also be donated to the food bank to help serve those in need in the community. For more, visit the Facebook Event Page or contact Cove at koula@ healinginthevalley.ca.
She credits Welch with playing a significant role in her life and well-being. Together they created a group at the school for anxiety sufferers. By Grade 11 Poirier was getting over her fears. One day while her class was discussing violence and bullying, she asked to say a few words to the class. She was never a fan of public speaking but felt compelled by the knowledge that it would make her feel better.
“I couldn’t believe I finally could talk about my past and feel good about it,” she said. “Since then I have been involved in mental health weeks at the high school.” She speaks at many schools in the area now, and at other institutions. And, like the many sports she has played, is good at it. Really good. “I got this award in 2014,” Poirier said, holding the thick-glassed trophy from The Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health. “Having all these things you
wouldn’t think I am a public speaker. But I’m healthy now. I feel healthy, look healthy, and I’m acing it!” Yes, she is glad to be done with school. She enjoys working at McDonald’s – “I have a lot of fun with the people I work with” – and speaking at various schools. Her primary message is simple: Talk to someone about your anxiety. Poirier’s one regret is that she didn’t seek help earlier; it would have saved her a lot of unnecessary suffering.

SENS EXTRA Hometown Tour
Record turnout at Sens summer hockey camps
connects Sens with their fans adam.kveton@metroland.com
The Ottawa Senators are hoping their pre-season tour around eastern Ontario and western Quebec gets the team off to a good start this year after fostering a greater connection between players and fans. For the second year, a group of Senators took to the road to sign autographs and meet fans in 12 different communities, ranging from Gatineau to Kingston, and including locations in Gloucester, Nepean and Carleton Place. The free Hometown Tour events included interactive hockey-themed games such as mini stick, ball hockey matches and a shot speed and accuracy tester, in addition to autographs from Senators players for 200 fans per event. This year’s events were a hit with more than 5,000
people attending, and 10 of 12 locations dolling out all 200 signatures, said Aaron Robinson, the team’s director of fan and community development. “The reception we received in all of the markets that we went to with the players and the interactive games and such was tremendous and made us really realize the impact that the team has in the community and how much they are appreciated by the fans,” said Robinson. Some of the best moments for players and fans alike were when they took part in hockeythemed games, said Robinson, with players such as Kyle Turris and Patrick Wiercioch taking some time to participate in a ball hockey or mini stick game. Beyond playing with fans during the Hometown Tour, the Senators are looking to get even more involved in encour-

In mid-August, the Senators launched the Grow the Game minor hockey program, which is a response to minor hockey registration numbers remaining stagnant for several years. In an effort to change that, the team, along with Hockey eastern Ontario and Hockey Outaouais, plan new programs that will provide less expensive and less time-consuming opportunities
for children to try hockey. One of the biggest new programs is called Learn to Play Hockey, and will feature 10 weeks of hockey instruction for $99, said Robinson. The introductory program is at the Richcraft Sensplex in east Gloucester. While the team hopes to expand its Grow the Game initiative in future years, Robinson said the team is reviewing their Hometown Tour events before committing to another year. “We’d love to do it again,” he said.

we were able to offer three additional weeks of camps featuring our most popular programs in July at the Richcraft Sensplex, which in turn contributed to a significant increase in enrollment.” Ottawa Senators Summer Hockey Camps offer participants unique Sens experiences, including appearances by NHL players, prospects and Sens alumni, in addition to off-ice hockey specific training by Senators’ strength and conditioning coach Chris Schwarz and his FitQuest team. “As a season-seat member with the Senators, our initial attraction to the Ottawa Senators Summer Hockey Camps was the Senators experience,” said Scott Scarrow, whose son Weston has taken part in four camp sessions to date. “We returned for our third year in a row this summer, because of the quality of the camp. The staff is great and the on-ice instruction continues to be excellent.” This year, the camps drew participants from across Canada, the U.S. and from as far away as South Korea.

Nearly 2,500 minor hockey players took part in 63 camps over nine weeks, Capital Sports Management Inc. (operator of the Bell, Cavanagh and Richcraft Sensplex facilities) has announced, setting a record for the number of minor hockey players who took part in Ottawa Senators Summer Hockey Camps. Over the nine week period starting July 6, nearly 2,500 participants laced-up their skates to take part in a record 63 separate camps at the Richcraft Sensplex (972 campers) in Ottawa’s east end, as well as in the west-end of the city at the Bell Sensplex (1,468 campers) and Cavanagh Sensplex (36 campers). After a successful 2014 season with 1,632 participants enrolled in Ottawa Senators Summer Hockey Camps, the program saw a 52 per cent increase in enrollment in 2015 making it the most successful summer in its history. “For the past 11 years, our goal has been to deliver exceptional summer hockey camps that push elite players to their limits while helping beginners learn the fundamentals of the game,” said Andy Bryan, CSMI’s director of hockey programs. “And with access to three state-of-the-art facilities for the duration of the summer,

George Jackson Toyota doles out $20,000 to area hospitals Sherry Haaima
sherry.haaima@metroland.com
George Jackson Toyota Scion is continuing its support for local health care. The company recently presented a total of $20,000 $4,000 to each of five area hospitals. Beneficiaries include Renfrew Victoria Hospital, Arnprior Regional Health, Pembroke Regional Hospital, St. Francis Memorial Hospital in Barry’s Bay and Deep River District Hospital.
“We set aside the funds on a monthly basis and they build up over the year,” said George Jackson Toyota sales manager Warren LaRocque. “Everybody needs the hospital at some point. These five hospitals do fantastic work and are all deserving of funding.” The donation is a way of giving back to the hospitals that serve the company’s clients across the Valley, added Larocque. At RVH, the funds will be directed to the I Choose RVH campaign and will be divided between the new dialysis unit and redevelopment of outpatient care clinics.

He was brought in by bylaw after being a stray and fending for himself for a year. He can be shy but as he becomes more comfortable he is really starting to come around. Harold is two years old, loves other cats, and would do best in a quiet home without children or dogs but with at least one other playful, friendly cat to help him adjust.

Does this illness limit your activities? I can’t participate in gym class at school and I can’t play soccer but I have other activities that I am dedicated to. I have sailing, horseback riding and skiing. I won’t stop moving because I have arthritis.
What do you say to other kids when they ask why you can’t participate at school? I just explain that I have a medical condition. Sometimes bad things happen to people that means they can’t do everything but I can do other activities, so it’s okay.
What do you want to be when you grow up? I’ve been inspired by my time at CHEO so I’d like to be a doctor. It would be wonderful to take care of people less fortunate than me. If my arthritis isn’t too bad I would very much like to make other people feel better.
Why should people support the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery? So kids can have a brighter future. They should be able to fulfill their dreams and shouldn’t be stopped because they have a medical condition.

Father learns the value of the knife sharpening man Few buggies came in our long lane that caused more excitement for me than the one bringing the old man who came to sharpen our knives. Everything about him was different from any other visitor to our farm out in Northcote. You could hear him before you saw him. He had a rack attached to the dashboard of the buggy, and it held a row of bells, which he pounded, one after the other all the way in the lane and right into our yard. As soon as our old dog Sport heard the bells, he ran to the cow byre and hid in the hay. Mother said it was the old man’s way of letting us know he was coming, and gave her time to redd up the knives in the kitchen. Father thought paying good money for sharpening knives was a complete waste, since he could do just as good a job with the whit stone. “Can you cut a piece of paper with the knives you sharpened?” Mother would ask. For that, Father had no answer. The old man steered the buggy right over to the watering trough so his horse could have a drink while he worked. He hopped down, went to the back of the buggy, and took out a small stand and a little stool, nodded in my direction and got right down to the business of sharpen-

ing knives. Mother had arrived at the spot with a kitchen tray, and every knife we owned. The contraption that did the work had a stone wheel, which sat in a little basin, and this he filled with water from the watering trough. A belt went from the wheel down to a wood pedal and once he sat on the three-legged stool and placed a foot on the pedal, he worked it up and down just like Mother did on the treadle Singer sewing machine. Water everywhere
The wheel went at a great clip spitting out water in every direction. One after another the old man took a knife from the tray, held it to the stone, and stuff flew off the wheel, water spewed out from the basin,

for nothing. That is until the day the old man picked up an old rusted and weather beaten axe leaning against the pump platform. From rust to sharp
He put the handle over his shoulder, and pressed the blade of the axe hard against the spinning wheel. Within minutes it was as shiny as a night star, and took the paper-slicing job as easily as did the knives from the kitchen. Father wandered over from the barn. ‘Well, I’ll be darned,” he said. Mother paid the old man 10 cents for every knife he honed, and he told Father, “the axe is on the house,” whatever that meant. Never again did Father complain about the old man who came once or twice a year to sharpen our knives. In fact, he always made sure one of our axes, badly in need of a sharpening, was leaning against the pump platform in wait. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Call display of no help R0013412241
In most cases, the number for the RCMP appears on the victim’s call display. These types of telephone scams are designed to create such shock and anxiety that victims respond by sending money quickly in order to fix the problem, say police. However, the RCMP does not contact individuals for the purpose of collecting fines or taxes, police stress. The RCMP asks anyone having received similar telephones calls or knowing someone who has to contact local police and the Canadian AntiFraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

Fraudsters pretend to be RCMP officers
and before long the old man’s front was soaked to the skin. He stopped only long enough to get more water from the trough for the job at hand. He had a stump of a cigar in his mouth, and never once did I see him put a match to it. I was just as fascinated with the cigar as I was with the knife sharpener, because even though it wasn’t lit, it was obvious to me that he was chewing it. Because every once in a while, he would let go with a spit that arched in the air and landed about 10 feet away. I marveled at such a talent for spitting, and watched as the stub of his cigar got smaller and smaller until there was nothing left but one final spit. Why he didn’t sever off a finger was beyond me. He wore no gloves, but held the blade of the knife heavy against the whirling wheel, turning it often to do both sides. When he got it to his liking, he took a sheet of newspaper from the ground; obviously there for just such a purpose, and with one fell-swoop, he sliced the paper with the newly sharpened knife. I was very impressed! Father still questioned the wisdom of spending money on something he would easily do

Agriculture to be highlight of plowing match And what does he like so much about farming? “I like to see things grow,” said MacGregor. “And I like to look after cattle real well - almost like they’re human beings.” The last days of preparation will be busy ones. “I will calm down whenever I see everybody there, having fun,” he said. “As long as everybody enjoys themselves, that’s the main thing. I hope it’s a good day for everybody.” Along with the traditional plowing matches that are part of the event, there is a wealth of activities for young and old alike. “The heart of the match is our Tent City. We are a family-friendly venue for everything Renfrew County has to offer. The whole family will find things here to interest them - sponsors’ displays, food and craft vendors, demonstration displays, and activities for kids and grown-ups alike,” says a press release on the event. “The attractions at the match include not just plowing. The event caters to anyone who enjoys a country market, a village green, or a county fair. Local performers and vendors are regular features, but the RCPA is always interested in bringing in new contributors.” FourMac Farms is located near the junction of Beachburg Road and the Zion Line.

A hay bale couple welcome visitors to this Saturday’s Renfrew County Plowing Match. new posts were installed and white stain applied. “I’m kind of proud of it. I got the place looking like it was something,” he said. “And this year I dressed up the tops of the posts with solar lights and knobs.” FourMac Farms consists of about 70 head of purebred Black Angus and Purebred Limousin on 97 acres. MacGregor’s dad bought the farm from Stanley Wilcox around 1960. It was sold to the Robinsons in the 1970s after MacGregor had moved away but when he had the chance to buy it several years later, he jumped at it.
BE INTERACTIVE
“I could hardly wait,” said MacGregor. “I had a lot of memories, cutting hay and cutting grain with the grain binder. We had no combine then and there weren’t many around at that time, either.” He also grew up on a farm on Zion Line and is pleased to be highlighting agriculture as host of the plowing match. Farming is such an important industry in the County and beyond and he’s happy to be sharing with his peers and the public. “I’m community-oriented,” he said. “I’m doing this because of the people we farm with and work with.” R0013457426
It’s a highlight of the season for Renfrew County’s agricultural community. Organizers are pleased with how preparations are unfolding for the 2015 Renfrew County Plowing Match, which will be held this Saturday, Sept. 19 at Shirley and Jack MacGregor’s property just outside of Beachburg. The Renfrew County Plowmen’s Association, a volunteer, non-profit organization that works to promote agricultural life and heritage, organizes the single-day competition, which has become a family-friendly, community event. FourMac Farms (owned by Shirley and Jack, as well as Jackie and Nathan Latchford) on the Davidson Road site (near civic address 126) is the host of this year’s event. “I’m pretty excited,” said MacGregor, who ended up agreeing to host the event when plowing match officials were visiting a neighbouring farm. “I drove in to talk to the farmer and to get the pressure off of him he said ‘Jack, these people were wondering if you would host the plowing match,’” said MacGregor with a laugh. Even before plans to host the match fell into place, the owners had been busy sprucing up the farm. MacGregor said he had cleaned up the front end of the farm along Davidson side road and

In 1919 there was a group of veterans that organized a club called ‘The Great War Veterans Association’, which successfully operated until 1929, when interest pretty much fell apart, as did the club. Another group of veterans formed a new club in Winnipeg called ‘Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League’. A few months later a number of the now folded GWVA’s First World War members missed having a group and a place to enjoy comradeship and so by early 1930 they began to organize again - this time as a group known as the Arnprior Branch 174 Royal Canadian Legion. On the June 23, 1930, the first meeting of founding and honourary members was held. On Aug. 21, 1930, the official Branch Charter arrived, this becoming the birthdate of Branch 174. Now started the real challenges including where to have their meetings, how to help their brother veterans, and what to do for the community. They met in the Town Hall Council Chambers, and then in the Post Office. They decided to support building a District Memorial Hospital. They instigated special preference for veterans who had no jobs returning from the war, and the purchase of land to build homes for them on 2nd Avenue and later more homes on 4th Avenue. They raised money by having skating parties and ‘smokers’ and carnivals giving the money to the Relief Fund for these necessary projects. The annual meeting was set to be held in April. It still is. The secretary was to be the first officer sworn in at elections. They still are. The branch’s first Armistice day was held in 1931. The collection for Poppies netted $50.42, so they had a talent show and the profit of $79.93 was
given with the Poppy proceeds to the needy at Christmas. Seems like they’ve always had a challenge raising money, but they keep on giving. Things were slow from 1933-1936, but then interest soared again and meeting attendance went all the way up to 54. Again interest waned and kept going down until late 1942. They needed a boost and new interest. They reorganized a boys bugle band and sponsored an Air Cadet Corps. But bad luck and a $15,000 fire changed all that and neither survived after 1944. The Legion continued meeting in several places for the next five years, but it was apparent something more permanent had to be found.
In 1949 a Mr. John Carthy wanted to sell a house he owned on Daniel Street. It was being leased to a Dr. Sanders who was going to be leaving: $3,500 cash was the price. The executive agreed and gave Mr. Carthy $1,000 down and then had to find the other $2,500 in three months. They asked the Council to gift the property to the veterans as a thank you for their service. Council bought the property and gave the Legion back their $1,000 down-payment. They originally leased the property to the Legion, but later sold it to them for $1. The Legion held its first meeting in its own place on Oct. 16, 1949. They received their LCBO license Aug. 2, 1950. The Ladies auxiliary reformed on Jan. 18, 1950.
The Legion supported the Lions Club Christmas parade in 1951 and has continued to organize it to this day. The lists and accomplishment the Legion has supported in the last 34 years is endless. The Legion would like to thank the community for all the support they receive from you so they can continue their commitments to the veterans, their families, the needy and the community. A reminder to the veterans and spouses the Legion is honoured to host a dinner for you again this year during the Legion Week celebrations on this Sunday, Sept. 20 at 1300 hours (1 p.m.). You must pre-register at the Legion.

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 Aries, explore a new way of thinking and keep an open mind. Maintain energy and enthusiasm about a new project. Your energy will inspire others to get moving. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You may need to get a little pushy to get what you need, Taurus. Don’t overdo it, but don’t hesitate to insert yourself into certain situations this week. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 This is a good week to share your positive thoughts and hopes with others. It’s advantageous to have as many people on your side as you can. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you have many things to do in the coming days, but you can still manage to have fun along the way. Schedule some rest and rejuvenation once the week has passed. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 If you learn something new this week, it very well may be something important, Leo. Stay attuned to the things going on around you, so you know when to act. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Getting your point across will be difficult this week, Virgo. Take a patient approach and give others the time to explain their points of view before sharing your own.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 You are still in love with that special someone after all of these years, Libra. Share your good fortune with others and you may inspire some new relationships in the process. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, it may be difficult to avoid conflict this week, but do your best to smooth over the situation. Try not to escalate any encounters and add fuel to the fire. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, give something frivolous a try this week. You may find it takes your mind off of other things and restores some of your natural joviality. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, someone is proud of all you have accomplished. Don’t feel badly about bragging a little about the things you have done. It’s good to also be proud of yourself. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, your generosity knows no bounds this week. All that you do unselfishly will come back in spades. Keep up your charitable efforts. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if things seem a little bit confusing this week, take some time to sit and reflect. The answers will come to you eventually. 0917

Pride of Braeside Horses are a big draw at local fairs, whether it be Renfrew, Arnprior or Carp. Among those competing in the four-horse hitch at the Renfrew Fair were the pride of Braeside, the Nesbitts above, and their horses from Riverview Farm. At right, are the team from McLaughlin Clydesdales of Haley Station. If you missed the horse events in Arnprior and Renfrew, you still have time to catch them at the Carp Fair Sept. 24-27.
Create haven with a fence Whether it’s for safety, privacy or simply for the look, fencing your yard can add instant curb appeal to your home. A fence keeps children and pets inside the enclosure while safeguarding the house and yard. It also adds an interesting visual element to your property. Before building, do plenty of research. Contact local authorities to find out about current regulations and to ensure that there are no telephone cables or gas lines where you want to dig. You should also check your certificate of location to be absolutely sure of where your property boundary is located. Choose the material. If your fence is meant to be functional and the look doesn’t really matter to you, a chain-link fence remains the cheapest option on the market. Aluminum and orna-
mental iron fences won’t rust, are virtually maintenance free and come in a wide variety of styles. PVC fences are very popular and give plenty of low-cost privacy, but their plastic look could put off those more concerned with esthetics. While any of the above options are viable choices, wood still remains the best fencing material. It requires regular maintenance, but the effort is well worthwhile. Its timeless appearance and the endless ways it can be customized appeal to just about everyone. Once you’ve decided which sort of fence you want, you can either build it yourself or entrust the job to a professional fence installer. Afterwards, why not embellish your new fence with greenery or some flowers? Let your imagination run wild, as well as your green thumb!

No time to garden? Hire a gardener
Gardeners rejoice. the Weather network’s fall forecast predicts most Canadians will enjoy summer weather well into September. However, there will be some cold days this fall, as well. “this year, Canadians should expect more prolonged periods than usual in which temperatures are either above or below normal,” said Chris Scott, Chief Meteorologist at the Weather network. “above seasonal temperatures will dominate central and eastern parts of the country in September, but a switch will flip sometime in october, bringing cold temperatures and a false start to winter.

Have you ever heard of no-maintenance gardening? We haven’t! although it’s possible to have pretty flowerbeds that require only a minimal effort, gardens that don’t need any maintenance at all just don’t exist. If you want things to look good, at some point you’ll have to pull up weeds, mow the lawn, trim the hedge and fertilize the plants. In other words, there are some jobs that just can’t be neglected if you want an immaculate yard. You don’t have much time to devote to gardening? You could always entrust the work to a specialized company or gardener. teams of horticultural professionals offer various maintenance services tailored to your needs. So, you could choose a company that would look after all the spring putting-in work, do periodic maintenance and put your yard to bed in the fall. In other words, the only way to have a no-maintenance garden is if you hire someone to take care of every aspect. You enjoy doing some of the work when you have the time?

Good year for tomatoes George Karadakis of Jim’s Restaurant in Arnprior says mixing in straight-from-the-farm sheep and rabbit manure with the soil is the key to the enormous size of his ‘Greek’ tomatoes. He brought in a tomato to the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide office on Sept. 11. Karadakis estimated the size at nearly two pounds and 17 inches in circumference, but he wouldn’t be surprised if there was a bigger one growing on his plants. The only reason he brought the specific tomato in was simply because he had picked it on the same day. The tomato will be used towards making a Greek salad.
Jim Hudson of Arnprior says the seed of this tomato was part of the line for the ‘Big Zac’ variety. Hudson brought in the tomato to the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide office on Sept. 14. The garden hobby led to a tomato weighing three pounds and 10 ounces. He said the world record for the biggest tomato is 8.4 pounds, grown by Dan MacCoy in Minnesota. Hudson joked his tomato will be used for slices to be put on many sandwiches.

Giant pumpkin a fair champion JOHN CARTER/METROLAND
That would make a lot of pumpkin pie. It took some strong backs to lift John Fuller’s ‘largest pumpkin’ Sunday at the Renfrew Fair onto the truck to return home where it will become a Halloween decoration. The pumpkin, grown at Fuller’s Garden of Eden property, is estimated by Fuller, right, to weigh about 410 pounds. Among those getting ready to lift the giant pumpkin are John Ellis, Jed Fuller, Jerry Leighton and Ben Shields. Large pumpkin lovers can see some of the Valley’s largest pumpkins at Hugli’s Blueberry Ranch near Pembroke Saturday, Sept. 26 when it hosts the ninth annual Great Pumpkin Contest sanctioned weighoff, starting at noon. Fuller entered last year and his 449-lb. pumpkin was sixth, just edging out Ellis’s 416-pounder. Last year’s winner was Todd Kline of Shawville with a 1,038-lb. monster.

How to avoid mosquito bites Need to enhance your balcony? Here’s how With most Canadians enjoying time outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, Health Canada has issued a reminder about the importance of using insect repellents safely to avoid mosquitos and other insect bites. bites from mosquitos, flies, and ticks can cause a number of health problems from itchiness and irritation to potentially serious diseases, including West Nile Virus and Lyme Disease. Insect repellents help to minimize health risks from bites, but it’s important to remember that they are a kind of pesticide and should be used only as directed. there are many steps you can take to avoid bug bites: • Cover exposed skin with clothing as much as possible, and only use insect repellents that have been approved by Health Canada. You can tell an approved product by the Pest Control Product (PCP) registration number on the label. • Choose products that best suit your needs and activities. For example, if you plan to be outdoors for a short period of time, choose a
product with a lower concentration of repellent and re-apply only if you need a longer protection time. • Before using any insect repellent, make sure to read and follow the instructions and warnings on the product’s label. Many insect repellent products have restrictions for use on children and on the maximum number of applications allowed a day. Make sure to follow these instructions carefully. • Apply only a small amount of repellent and only on exposed skin or on top of clothing. Never spray insect repellents directly into your face. Spray on your hands first and then apply to your face. Repeat applications only as needed and as directed on the product label. • Keep insect repellent containers out of reach of children and pets and supervise the application of insect repellents on children. Avoid applying repellent to children’s hands to reduce the chance of getting the repellent in their eyes and mouths. Report any adverse events to the manufacturer, who is required by law to report it to Health Canada.
Would you love to be able to step out your door and find yourself instantly surrounded by Mother Nature? When organized properly, even the smallest of balconies can be transformed into an oasis of beautiful greenery where you can relax all summer long. A few pots, soil, a trowel, plants and a bit of fertilizer: that’s all you need to create your own little corner of paradise. Choose plants that will feel right at home, taking into account how many hours of sunshine your balcony receives. Most flowers, herbs and vegetables need plenty of sun, but you’ll soon discover that garden centres stock gorgeous varieties of plants that thrive best in the shade. Let your imagination run wild when you choose plant pots; just make sure they all have drainage holes. If necessary, drill some in the bottoms of those that don’t. One well-stocked planter placed in just the right spot can enhance your balcony, but lots of different plants and pots will result in a much more interesting look. Make use of every nook and cranny. Diversify colours and heights, and use a mix of flowering and foliage plants.

Smart renovations to make it sell faster
When you put your home on the market, renovations can be worth their weight in gold if you invest your time and money in the right places. Some renovations can help you sell more quickly, but other changes could just be a waste of money in terms of resale value. Here are some tips on how to renovate wisely. You don’t have much of a budget? Remember that you don’t necessarily have to do major renovations. A simple coat of paint can significantly improve the overall look of a home and make it more sellable. Just be sure to choose neutral, contemporary colours and avoid garish tones. No matter what, don’t forget the exterior siding; that’s what potential buyers see first. If you’re able and willing to undertake more extensive renovations, the kitchen and bathroom should be at the top of the
list because they’re the most cost effective. Improvements to your home’s energy efficiency allow you to recover a good percentage of the amount invested, and the same goes for replacing flooring or windows. Conversely, putting in a swimming pool isn’t cost-effective. It has little impact on the value of the house and could even be considered a disadvantage by potential buyers who only see the additional maintenance work involved. Avoid renovations that would give your home too high a value compared to neighbouring properties. It would be wise to put your home on an equal footing with others in your area by adding a feature they all have, such as a second bathroom. Last but not least, keep in mind that poorly done work may even devalue your home.

Keep bears away from your home
• Remove garbage. Take it home or drop it off at an approved waste disposal site. • Use a strong disinfectant to eliminate all odours from garbage and recycling containers and lids. • Never discard cooking grease outside. Instead, place it in a container with a lid, transfer it to a plastic bag and include it with other properly stored garbage. • Take your barbecue with you when you leave the cottage, or store it in a secure shed. Make sure it is clean. • Do not leave any food or food scraps outdoors. • When packing up, remember to remove all the food from the inside of your cottage. A box of pudding or fruit flavoured dessert mix is all it takes to attract a bear. • Do not leave scented products outside. Even non-food items like suntan lotion, insect repellent, soap and candles attract bears. • Close and lock all windows and doors. • If you are away for an extended period of time, have someone you trust check in and look for signs that a bear has either visited or broken into your property.

Most human-bear conflicts happen when bears are attracted by smells and rewarded with an easy meal. When bears pick up a scent with their keen noses, they will investigate. If bears are rewarded with feasts of bird food, garbage or pet food, they will return. Garbage is the number one reason bears are drawn to properties, followed by bird feed, suet and nectar. If you would like to report a bear problem, call 1 866 514-2327. If your personal safety is at risk, call 911 or the local police.

In nearly five decades of serving the Upper Ottawa Valley, the enrolment at Algonquin College’s Pembroke Campus has never been higher. More than 950 full-time students were in class on Sept. 8 as the school year began at the waterfront campus in Pembroke. Campus dean Karen Davies, is thrilled with the increased enrolments. “When we opened the waterfront campus four years ago, we knew it would be a very special place for students to study,” she said. “The combination of excellent teaching, a good mix of programs and a state-of-the-art facility has created a campus atmosphere that is very inviting for students and families, and more are choosing to study with us. It’s wonderful.” The Pembroke Campus is the largest of Algonquin College’s regional campuses and offers 20 full-time programs, ranging from the skilled trades to health sciences. Almost 50 per cent of the students who have registered have had to relocate to the Pembroke area to attend their program. The majority of these out-of-town students are enrolled in unique programs like outdoor adventure, outdoor adventure naturalist, forestry technician, radiation safety and environmental technician.
they visit the campus,” he said. “This warm community reception reinforces the great work done by our faculty and student services staff in showing students the benefits of studying at our campus, and the strong commitment we make to helping students succeed.” From humble beginnings with only 16 students in its first year of operation in the fall of 1967, the Pembroke Campus has gradually grown to become one of Ontario’s largest and most vibrant regional college campuses. In addition to its full-time programs, the campus also offers academic upgrading classes and apprenticeship training, as well as continuing education courses in the evening and on weekends.

Does the outside of your home look a little tired and worn out? Here are some really simple tips that will help you give your home a whole new look. 1. Paint your front door a bright colour. Nothing is more eye-catching and inviting. 2. Replace the hardware around your front entrance: doorbell, mailbox, locks, etc. 3. Install a door knocker. They come in all sizes and shapes and can add style or whimsy to your door. 4. Give your street number a more up-to-date look. Gone are the days of the ugly metallic stickers on the mailbox. 5. If your house has wooden shutters or mouldings around the windows, there’s a good chance the paint is peeling. Get out the paintbrushes and think about using this opportunity to change the colour. 6. Clean your gutters and replace them if necessary. 7. Buy a new door mat to add style to your home. 8. Replace an old doorstep. In addition to being visually unattractive, dilapidated doorsteps can cause insulation problems. 9. Clean! Use a pressure washer to clean the siding and then wash your windows. 10. Be creative with your decorative lighting. Put up some lanterns, strings of mini-lights (clear Christmas lights) or recessed lights under the steps.

Yard maintenance: a short guide to fall chores
Make the most of cool fall weather to do maintenance on your deck.
Summer vacation is a thing of the past and a few tidy-up jobs are waiting for you in the yard. That’s right; your yard is in great need of some TLC at this time of year. Take a walk in the vegetable garden After you’ve harvested your delicious homegrown vegetables, all the weeds and pests have to be removed from your vegetable plot. This is also the time to take stock and plan for next year. Evaluate the performance of your garden and take note of any problems you experienced during the growing season (insects, diseases, plants too close together, etc.). This will help you correct things next time around. If you didn’t take note of the location of your various vegetables when you sowed them, you should do so now. That way, you can rotate your crop next summer. And if you want to enjoy garlic next year, now’s the time to plant your bulbs. ... and around the flower beds This is definitely not the time to sit

back and relax as far as your flowerbeds are concerned. In fact, a good cleaning up is required. Dig up weeds, as well as any annuals that have been damaged by the first frosts. Trim the stems of plants susceptible to disease and the foliage of perennials. Fall is also the ideal time to test your soil and amend it where necessary. Divide your perennials and plant spring bulbs. Non-hardy bulbs should be dug up after the first frost. Leave them to dry and then remove the excess soil before storing them in a cool, dry, dark place for replanting next year. Take care of the lawn Spoiling your lawn all summer is not enough for it to stay beautiful and healthy. Fall is the time to reseed bare spots, aerate the soil, add compost and spread a potassium-rich natural fertilizer. You should also remove any dead leaves, as a thick carpet of leaf debris deprives the grass of light and may cause it to die off. Shred the leaves and compost them,
or let them decompose on the ground. In October, you should also mow the lawn for the last time, being sure to leave it at a height of five centimeters so it will be protected from temperature changes. Clean and maintain the deck Cool fall days are perfect for doing maintenance work on your deck. Remove any weeds and debris stuck between the planks and steps of the deck and then repair or replace damaged planks and wobbly posts. You should also sand any rough spots that may cause splinters and fill cracks with wood putty. A thorough cleaning is also a good idea. Use a pressure washer (on the lowest setting to avoid damaging the surface) and a cleaning product that’s suitable for your type of wood. Then treat or stain your deck so it stays beautiful for as long as possible. Raking up fallen leaves; cutting back perennials; mowing the lawn for the last time and maintaining the deck: there is a lot to do in the yard once fall arrives. Are you ready for this final blitz before winter arrives?

Chainsaw safety tips for fall work (NC) Whether you’re removing fallen branches, stocking up on firewood, or just pruning trees in the backyard, there is lots of yard work to be completed in the fall and using a chainsaw is an effective way to get the job done. Very little is as satisfying as gripping your chainsaw with its razor-sharp teeth, powerful engine and ripping through a project. But chainsaws are powerful machines that need to be respected or operators may sustain unexpected injuries. “A chainsaw is a very effective tool to have on hand, however it can become very dangerous if used improperly,” says Michelle Sordi, director of marketing at Husqvarna Canada, the world’s largest producer of outdoor power products. “No matter how big or small the job, safety should always come first.” Sordi offers the following safety tips to keep in mind when operating a chainsaw: • Refresh your memory: If your saw is new or you have not used it in a few years, make sure you give yourself a quick refresher course by reading over the manual. • Wear protective gear: No job is
too small for protective gear. Make sure you are wearing a helmet, ear phones, gloves, goggles, chaps and protective shoes. • Keep the chain sharp: A dull chain is unsafe, hard on both the bar and chain and overworks you and your saw. Make sure your chain is sharp before starting the job. • Adjusting chain tension: It’s also important to check the chain tension, a loose one damages the drivers bar on the chain and prevents it from fitting back into the bar groove. Recheck it after every hour or so of use and adjust it if necessary, especially with new chains as they can stretch. • The buddy system: Never cut alone. If an accident occurs, you’ll need someone there to administer first aid and summon medical assistance. • Tune up: The dealer can also give your chainsaw a tune up before you start using it. Always get your saw checked if it has been sitting idle for months. • No surprises: Instruct everyone not to approach unless you are certain they can see you or the chainsaw is not in use. Be sure to tell everyone to wait until you are finished cutting to approach.
Solid, stylish staircases to dream about Staircases can be more than just functional; they can be the centerpiece of a home or an office building. They help us to get from the basement to the attic or from the sidewalk to the front door. A famous Led Zeppelin song even tells us that we can buy a stairway to heaven! Building a staircase that’s beautiful as well as safe isn’t a job for just anyone. For a sturdy staircase, the worker must consider not only its esthetic characteristics, but also make sure that it meets the strict criteria of building codes. Thus, for each project, very precise measurements have to be taken for the stringers, treads and risers. A poorly designed staircase, or one that isn’t installed properly, entails risk of injury to those who use it. The ideal staircase Manufacturers and stair installers offer models for all tastes and all budgets. Traditional materials include wood, wrought iron and concrete. That said, designers also favour stainless steel, stone and glass to give a more contemporary and elegant look to this major architectural feature. To give it a more personal touch, various accessories can be added that will turn your new staircase into a key decorative element in your home. Fancy a new staircase? Will it be straight, spiraled or with landings? Let an expert find you the model that will take you straight to heaven.
Staircases should always be installed by professionals.
