News - David Reid will serve a second term as mayor of Arnprior. When the deadline for nominations passed Friday at 2 p.m., Reid was the only candidate for the town’s mayor. The local businessman was elected mayor in 2010 in his first try for municipal office. Returning to join Reid for the next four years on council is incumbent Reeve Walter Stack, who was also unopposed. It’s a far cry from the last Arnprior election in 2010 when five candidates ran for mayor and four for reeve. However, there will be some excitement in town Oct. 27 as nine candidates are vying for five councillor seats on council. Former fire chief Tom Burnette became the ninth candidate as he filed less than an hour before the deadline Friday. He joins incumbents Lyle Anderson, Lynn Grinstead, Dan Lynch and Ted Strike in the race, along with

Frank Dugal, Daniel Martin, Art Smith and Doug Smith. In McNab-Braeside, two more candidates filed on deadline day. Brian Armsden becomes the fourth candidate for deputy mayor joining incumbent Christine Blimkie (Sauve), Coun. Brad McIlquham and Len Chapeski in the race. Mark MacKenzie is the fifth candidate in the contest for three councillor positions. Also seeking election Oct. 27 are incumbent Robert Campbell, Scott Brum, Heather Lang and Lou Laventure. Both Armsden and MacKenzie have been outspoken in their concerns about the current council’s position in breaking off recreation and library agreements with Arnprior. The mayor’s race features incumbent Mary Campbell squaring off against Coun. Aldene Styles and Tom Peckett.

CAO no longer with McNab-Braeside Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – Noreen Mellema is no longer the chief administrative ofďŹ cer of McNab-Braeside Township. Mayor Mary Campbell conďŹ rmed Friday, Sept. 12, that Mellema, who has worked for the township for 35 years, is no longer employed by the municipality. Campbell at ďŹ rst issued a written statement Monday morning (Sept. 15) but then retracted the comments, saying the township’s legal advice is to make no statement at this time. Mellema was one of the ďŹ rst CAOs in the county to achieve her Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) certiďŹ cation and she has shown leadership in the County Association for Clerks and

Treasurers organization. Mellema had recently returned to part-time work at the township after a period of time off as she recovered from heart-related health issues. Council has determined that deputy clerk Lindsey Parkes will remain acting CAO for the time being, said Campbell. SPECIAL MEETING

Council held a last-minute special meeting Sept. 8 with a closed session under Section 239 (2) (b) personal matters about an identiďŹ able individual, including municipal or local board employees, and under Section 239 (2) (f) advice that is subject to solicitor-client privilege, including communication necessary for that purpose.

News – Voters in Arnprior and McNab-Braeside will have a chance to scrutinize their municipal candidates in all-candidate meetings Sept. 29 and Oct. 6. The Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce is hosting the two election forums. The Arnprior debate for the nine councillor candidates will be held on Monday, Sept. 29 at Arnprior District High School.

The all-candidate session for the dozen hopefuls seeking ofďŹ ce in McNab-Braeside will be held Oct. 6 at McNab Public School. Doors will open at 6 p.m. for both with the debates starting at 7 p.m. Valley Heritage Rado station manager Jason Marshall will be moderator for both forums. Candidates will be given time for two-minute opening and closing statements. In between, chamber of-

ďŹ cials will accept written questions from the audience. That will deter duplication and grandstanding from the audience, chamber ofďŹ cials agreed. Because of the large number of candidates, the McNab-Braeside forum will be divided in half. The ďŹ ve council candidates will be on stage 7-8 p.m. and the seven mayor and deputy mayor candidates will take over 8-9 p.m.

Reid said Monday he is pleased to be returning for another four-year term, but noted that in a way it’s sad not to have a mayoralty race in which to debate the issues and receive community input. “It’s an important time to have dialogue with the public,â€? he said. So he plans to go door-to-door in town throughout the campaign to hear what residents would like him to do in the upcoming term. “It would be a help in setting the framework for the next four years.â€? He said the current council has made a good start in several areas, but needs to follow through on such major initiatives as downtown revitalization and developing the waterfront. Reid said he would also like to attend the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce’s all-candidates meeting Sept. 29 and be available to answer questions and talk to voters. The two school board positions for Arnprior-McNab-Braeside have also been ďŹ lled by acclamation. Glenn Miller will be the new trustee for the Renfrew County public school board, replacing Norm Hazelwood who is retiring. Long-time (30 years) Renfrew County Catholic School Board trustee Andy Bray returns for another term. Meanwhile, in Madawaska Valley township news, Mark Willmer is vying for a seat on council. The long-time Arnprior councillor has moved to the area and invested in a ski hill. He is the only Arnprior council member not running again.

OPP charged Mustapha ‘Moe’ Fakih, 52, with two counts of arson: specifically with “disregard for human life� and “damage to own property�. The owner of Moe’s Pita Palace was cleaning up at his fast-food Lebanese restaurant Monday when he heard the news. “First of all – I was not arrested. That is not true,� he said when reached by phone Monday evening, nine-months after the investigation began. “This is what I want people to know. I will have my day in court and prove my innocence. Everyone who knows me knows what I am capable of doing and not capable of doing.� Fakih was at site of the explosion and fire during the evening of Jan. 19, 2014. He returned

Laventure throws hat in the M-B council race sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – Glasgow family man and home builder Lou Laventure wants to lend his expertise to a township he cares a lot about. Laventure recently filed his papers to run for councillor in McNab-Braeside Township in the upcoming Oct. 27 municipal election. The 51-year-old lifelong McNab-Braeside resident said his experience as a custom home builder would serve him well in a council position. He has experienced the township’s system first-hand and said there are improvements to be made. Laventure was raised on the family farm and worked there until studying building at Kempville College, where he finished second in his class. He and wife Linda have two boys – Leonard and Lance – who are now in their 20s. From a high turnover

The township needs that kind of input.” Laventure said he has had dealings with many neighbouring municipalities over the years and has seen how they do things. “There are a lot of things we could be doing to make it a lot easier for people,” he said. “There’s a lot of streamlining we can do that wouldn’t cost much but would make it easier on township residents and the people working.” McNab-Braeside has a lot going for it, he said. “It’s a good place to be. It’s got good potential for growth or as a retirement spot,” he said. From township staff to actual residents, why have there been so many issues, Laventure asked. “Why are good people are passing through the township so quickly?

OPINION EDITORIAL

Time to consider vision of a campground at Bell Park N ow that the nomination date has passed and all Arnprior council candidates have had a chance to pitch their case to our readers, it is time to focus on a number of key issues. That doesn’t mean we must focus on the small and certain-to-be achieved. It means we can talk about big picture issues that haven’t necessarily had all the details worked out. A vision is built on positive brainstorming. The most important issue is also the most obvious. The marina and how to take advantage of the opportunities it poses. Where the Rivers Meet is not just a fine tagline to lead the town’s marketing strategy. It is the crucial component of Arnprior’s best chance at luring tourists. Literally, the Madawaska water that flows between Robert Simpson beach and Bell Park is the place to sell to potential visitors. It opens onto a stunning view of the Ottawa and looks back on a marina area that, one day, should offer at least a half dozen public activities. The town has tried bringing people to that area with events at the park, a decent beach, and a gravel pathway. Success has been moderate. What really needs to happen is to bring people to the other side as well, the underutilized Bell Park. That means bringing them over to a municipal campground. If the town were to clear out some trees and brush, put in maybe 20 camping sites – many to overlook the Ottawa - the city folks looking for a night or more would jump at it. Especially if it is sold to them as a 24-hour activity packed adventure. Set up your tent at noon; take a rowboat ride (manned by a town youth) to the Robert Simpson Park side; spend the afternoon at the beach or pick up a public bike to ride to the

In the morning shop downtown via a public bike offered on either side of the river. Selling the activities along with the site is also a good way to attract corporate retreat groups. Yes – there are plenty of challenges to this vision. First up is obtaining permission from the family that bequeathed the park, the Bells. A sign at the entrance says the park should be enjoyed by Arnprior youth. It currently is enjoyed by very few children, or adults, for that matter. So the status quo fails their wish. We are confident the family would see a campground that attracts perhaps hundreds of tourists a year and generates buzz as a destination catering to the modern adventure-seeker as a worthy evolution of the park. Second is establishing partnerships with the fish and game club and the private yacht club. Both groups must realize how crucial that property is for the town’s future viability. With the campground there might be room for a public swimming pool, along with the necessity for showers and washrooms. New life would be breathed into the area. It is an exciting prospect. Third is the creation of a floating boardwalk linking Hydro and Bell parks. It must be linked from the water side, meaning in front of private properties that overlook the water. It is unfor-

tunate the land was developed in the first place, but the greater good must prevail in important situations. We believe this vision of an almost complete bicycle circle around the Madawaska is that important. It is likely that more barriers exist, but if the political will is forthcoming – and public support for the idea strong enough – surely they can be overcome. If not, it speaks poorly of democracy and a town’s right to self-determination. NEW FOUNTAIN IN RIVER

The final addition we would make is this: a fountain in the middle of the river. Nothing too large, but a sister to the fountain in Rob-

ert Simpson Park. It will act as an anchor for the cycling campers and others, and hint at the whole area as something reminiscent of an English garden. Some incumbent councillors may say this whole vision is impossible because various provincial regulations and bodies will prevent it for a litany of reasons. Some aspiring councillors may shrug their shoulders and commit to wait and see if what the incumbents say is true. We believe our local leaders should offer more than that. If they don’t like the idea, that is fine. But what would you replace it with? Keep in mind that Where the Rivers Meet is central to Arnprior’s future success.

OPINION

TOWNSHIP OF MCNAB/BRAESIDE

LETTER

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, or a free rink To the Editor: Did you hear? Some real nice group of businesspeople are willing to build us a rink and we don’t have to pay to build it or run it for 25 years. Sounds fantastic and almost as good as the free cruises I keep being called about, both of which sound far too good to be true. Wait a minute, what did my grandmother tell me about things that are too good to be true? These type of arrangements are referred to as Private/Public Partnerships or P3s, and politicians love them because it keeps big capital expenditures off the books, makes the bottom line look nice and provides needed services with no immediate costs. That’s how they’re sold on paper anyway, but ask taxpayers in cities and towns that are starting to see the real costs and they will have a much different take on them. So what’s this new ‘Campbell Rink of Dreams’ going to really cost us? $42K PER MONTH TO PRIVATE COMPANY

For starters, at the presentation meeting last year we were told about the guaranteed monthly ice rental fees payable to PowerPlay Sports in the amount of $42,000 a month for 300 months (that equates to $12.6 million over the 25-yearperiod - or $165 per year/per household). Compare this to just $50 for the previous recreation agreement the Township had with Arnprior. Furthermore, this rental fee does not factor in the loss of any property or other taxes that typically are waived in order for these P3 deals to be signed. As with everything this council seems to do, it hasn’t educated itself; once again, here’s another example of an ill-informed decision being made. As an example, P3s often don’t go as planned

— we don’t have to look too far to see what happens when they don’t. Both old and new P3 recreation complexes right next door in the city of Ottawa have encountered huge failures when a private company has washed its hands of things, gone bankrupt or simply needed to make more profits: the Ray Friel Recreation Complex, which was touted as a no-cost-to-taxpayers deal, has cost the city over $15 million to date; and, more recently, West Carleton’s SensPlex has Ottawa taxpayers currently now on the hook for $1.2 million per year plus a $225,000 bump to the fees being charged to the City to pad its operating reserves (in layman’s terms they were not making enough money so they just charged the City more). CLOAKED IN SECRECY

For reference, this complex is the model of what’s being proposed for the Township of McNab-Braeside. The issue here is simple: the residents of the township, who will be left holding the bag long after this council is gone, do not know any details about this deal; and, apparently, virtually no one else does either, with most staff and recreation committee members finding out about it when Mr. Firestone put up a couple of new real estate signs on an adjacent property and announced in the MLS listings that the property would be next to the new arena complex — which will be across from the municipal offices. For those who may not have followed all of council’s rhetoric on the recreation agreement, its primary and most frequently cited reasons for refusing to re-sign an agreement with Arnprior was the lack of transparency and accountability. See COUNCIL, Page 10

NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PUBLIC MEETING In the matter of Sections 34 of the Planning Act, the Township of McNab/Braeside hereby gives NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING: i) Application to amend Zoning By-law 2010-49 of the Township of McNab/Braeside. ii) A public meeting regarding an application for an amendment to Zoning By-law 2010-49 of the Township of McNab/Braeside.

Subject Lands

All lands located within the Township of McNab/Braeside that are zoned General Industrial (GM), Light Industrial (LM) and any lands within General Industrial (GM) and Light Industrial (LM) exception and holding zones. No Key Map is attached.

Public Meeting

A public meeting to inform the public of the proposed zoning amendment will be held on the 14th day of October at 5:30 p.m. at the municipal office of the Township of McNab/Braeside.

Purpose and Effect The purpose of the proposed zoning by-law amendment is to address zoning provisions relating to accessory dwelling units permitted in the General Industrial (GM) Zone and the Light Industrial (LM) Zone. The amendment proposes to make modifications to the zone provisions of the GM Zone and the LM Zone by removing single detached dwelling, as a permitted use, accessory to a body shop or commercial garage. It also proposes to incorporate new provisions for the permitted accessory dwelling unit in the GM and LM Zones by limiting the accessory dwelling unit to one per lot, limiting its location within the permitted main non-residential building, limiting its size and setting out parking requirements. The amendment will also clarify separation distance requirements for the units related to industrial uses. All other provisions of the Zoning By-law shall apply. Additional information regarding the Zoning By-law amendment is available for inspection at the Township of McNab/Braeside Municipal Office during regular office hours. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of McNab/Braeside before the by-law is passed, by the Township, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Township of McNab/Braeside, to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the Township of McNab/Braeside before the by-law is passed by the Township, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so. NOTE: One of the purposes of the Planning Act is to provide for planning processes that are open, accessible, timely and efficient. Accordingly, all written submissions, documents, correspondence, e-mails or other communications (including your name and address) form part of the public record and will be disclosed/made available by the Municipality to such persons as the Municipality sees fit, including anyone requesting such information. Accordingly, in providing such information, you shall be deemed to have consented to its use and disclosure as part of the planning process.

A VOTE FOR TOM PECKETT IS A VOTE FOR CHANGE … Time to bring back the shared library and recreation agreements with our neighbours, the towns of Arnprior and Renfrew. McNab/Braeside offers wonderful opportunities for golf, soccer, fishing, hunting and boating. Shared arrangements with our neighbours opens up many more recreational opportunities that augment what we can offer within our own township.

Dated at the Township of McNab/Braeside this 18th day of September, 2014.

Let’s get back to the table and work out an arrangement that benefits our residents. By the way, the rumor going around that I want to amalgamate with Arnprior is completely false, nor do I want to annex Arnprior! More to come next week! R0022900924

What do you think happens when you enter into a P3 arrangement with private companies? You are given no information, never see their books and have ZERO oversight. Do you, a taxpayer, want to have council simply hand over a $42,000 cheque every month, rip up their tax bills and told not to worry? As bad as all of this sounds, it gets worse. The biggest, most important issue is that this council did not bother to inform themselves about the complete lack of a need for a new rink in the first place. Renfrew County is not Ottawa; the

rinks in the valley are nowhere near booked to capacity — and this includes the Nick Smith Centre — and minor hockey numbers across the country are in a steady state of decline. The question you should ask yourself is this: why is council doing this? The answer: it got an unsolicited call and was offered a ‘free’ rink. Apparently everyone but our council knows what to do when you get those type of phone calls. Hang up! Please, on Oct. 27, let’s bring some common sense back to our local politics. Vote for change.

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, September 18, 2014 11

Young birds may not be the smartest Lifestyle - Cooler weather has brought feathered visitors from farther north, but a number of local nesting birds still linger. Some, like Blue Jays, will stay through the winter, especially since the acorn crop is so big this year. Others, like Great Blue Herons, will vanish when waterways begin to freeze over. Currently, many people are seeing Great Blue Herons, some of which are unusually tame; some are so bold that there appears to be something wrong with them. Whenever someone reports an absurdly tame heron, I say that I’m willing to bet the bird’s head wore a sold gray cap, not a striped blackand-white one. So far I wouldn’t have lost a single bet (that is, if one had actually been made). So how did I know this, which inevitably revealed to be true after photos of the bird were checked? Am I a clairvoyant? Did I see the same bird before the observer did?

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way

I knew what the bird looked like because adult Great Blues are typically shy and fly away when approached, and have black-and-white stripes on their crown. Young birds can be remarkably tame, allowing exceedingly close approach. And their head sports a solid gray cap. Thus, my guess was simply an educated one. Right now many young Great Blue Herons can be viewed locally. Other young birds are also around. Each late summer I look for birds on Algonquin’s Mew Lake Airfield and inevitably see young Merlins there. Such was the case last weekend. There were two young Merlins and they were having an encounter with a flock of mischievous Blue Jays. For those not familiar with them, Merlins are small falcons. Females are larger than males and are brown-backed; males are blue-backed and not much larger than a jay. Despite their Adult Merlins are lethal hunters of small small size, Merlins are birds. often mistaken for their

A flock of Blue Jays taunts a young Merlin. larger cousin, the Peregrine. Now, Merlins, as do all birds of prey, need honed skills for capturing elusive prey. However, young hawks lack refined skills and learn them by trial and error. For the first their “miss” rate is quite high, and Blue Jays seem to know just that. As usual, the Merlins on the airfield were perched atop isolated White Pines. When Blue Jays spotted a Merlin, instead of taking cover they flew closer and actually perched in the same tree the falcon sat atop. Then the jays would take turns flying at the Merlin, screaming jay vulgarities at it. The jays appeared to be taunting the Merlin into chasing them! Eventually one would do just that, and go racing after the jays, which easily eluded their pursuer’s lethal claws. When the Merlin turned to fly back to its perch, the bold jays would do likewise. Every year I witness this game of “cat and mouse” between Merlins and Blue Jays, and every year I fail to see a single jay killed by those fal-

cons. I liken the scenario to a bullfight, with a brave bullfighter taunting a very dangerous bull. Except in these cases, it is a crowd

of clever bullfighters and one very inexperienced bull! The Nature Number is 613-3872503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Paramed workers take concerns GIRONES to Extendicare’s Toronto HQ LAWYERS losses in the United States. The mostly low-wage staff at the home care agency has been without a raise in almost four years. “If I were the Health Minister I would be reviewing all of ParaMed’s contracts in this province,� said Thomas. “At a time when the province is recognizing the importance of retaining a skilled home care workforce, ParaMed is seeking take-aways from the workers’ collective agreements.� The strike by 110 unionized staff at the Renfrew home care agency has forced the Champlain Community Care Access Centre to reassign clients to other health care providers. According to OPSEU, Extendicare, ParaMed’s parent company, reported $16.4 million in net after-tax profit for its Canadian operations in 2013. The company reported a loss of $11.1 million south of the border. “It appears that home support staff earning as little as $12.88 per hour in Canada are being asked to pay the price for Extendicare’s business decisions in the U.S.,� said Thomas. He said Extendicare also recently negotiated a $42.2 million settlement with the U.S. government over alleged violations of the U.S. Social Security Act, placing the company under greater financial pressure. Thomas said OPSEU is willing to return to the bargaining table at any time.

News - Striking home care staff from Renfrew County temporarily moved their picket line to Markham Tuesday. Professional and support staff picketed outside of Extendicare’s head office on Steeles Avenue at noon. The company owns ParaMed Home Health Care, which walked away from the bargaining table more than a week ago. The workers, who provide home care to clients from Arnprior to Pembroke, have been on strike since Sept. 2. “Ontario wants to transfer more responsibility to this sector, but the private-for-profit operators have shown little interest in providing a stable workforce to keep patients out of hospital,� charged Warren (Smokey) Thomas, president of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU). While Extendicare did increase compensation for its $1.145 million CEO last year, it is seeking to extend the wage freeze for the ParaMed front line workers to five years, points out the union. Starting wage for a home support worker at ParaMed is $12.88 per hour – less than what is required to move them out of poverty, says OPSEU. In addition, these workers require a vehicle to do their jobs. Meanwhile, OPSEU issued a news release last week suggesting ParaMed Home Health Care’s reluctance to achieve a deal with front line staff in Renfrew County may be the result of company

ston told those gathered for the ceremony. “Why? Because this order recognizes exceptional police and community development work over the course of a career, and it is difficult to overstate the importance of such service to Canada. “As we have seen time and again here at home and around the world, good policing is synonymous with strong, healthy communities and vibrant, successful nations. Where police forces are strong so too are the communities they serve, and vice versa,” he said. “They reinforce one another in what I like to call a virtuous circle.” Johnston said the honour celebrates “so much more than law enforcement, though, of course, that is a vitally important part of your work. Policing, as you know, is also about community building in the broader sense. The best policing helps to create a sense of trust, inclusion, well-being and security.” Johnston also thanked the officers’ families and loved ones for supporting them and their work.

On Sept. 4, Renfrew OPP Auxiliary members conducted a Lock it or Lose it campaign. They checked 101 vehicles. One vehicle was unlocked, three vehicles had windows open and 21 vehicles were locked but had valuables in plain sight.

News – A police officer well-known in Arnprior and area has received a Police Forces Order of Merit Canadian Governor General David Johnston bestowed the honour on OPP Detective Inspector Christopher A. Nicholas at Rideau Hall Sept. 9. Inspect. Nicholas grew up in Arnprior and graduated from school in town. His mother, Doreen, still lives in town and was named Arnprior’s volunteer of the year last year. Nicholas, one of 77 recipients honoured at the ceremony, played a major role in the apprehension of military Commander Russell Williams for two murders. The Order of Merit of the Police Forces was created in 2000, to recognize conspicuous merit and exceptional service by members and employees of Canadian police forces whose contributions extend beyond protection of the community. “Though perhaps not the most well-known, the Order of Merit of the Police Forces is one of our country’s most important honours,” John-

News – An Arnprior man faces drinking and driving charges after he was involved in a serious collision on Highway 17 at O’Brien Street at the main entrance to Renfrew Sept. 10. Renfrew OPP report that alcohol-related charges have been laid after the crash that sent three people to hospital. Police responded to the two-vehicle collision just after 8 p.m. when a westbound 2003 Ford Explorer turned into the path of an eastbound 2012 Chevrolet Traverse. A light standard was knocked down and blocked the eastbound lanes of the highway. The male driver and female passenger of the Traverse were injured and transported by paramedics to hospital. The male driver of the Ford also suffered injuries and was transported to the hospital. Police suspected he had been drinking and he failed an alcohol screening test. The breath tests on the driver were conducted at the hospital. As a result, a 42-year-old Arnprior man was charged with impaired driving causing bodily harm, driving over 80mgs causing bodily harm and making an unsafe left turn. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on Oct. 1. OPP Constable Sean Smith investigated. It was one of 141 calls for service Renfrew and Arnprior OPP responded to from Sept. 8

IS YOU

WINNING…

THE REALITY IS,

YOU’RE HELPING CHEO On August 4, 2013 the Laviolette family was enjoying a fun day on the water when disaster struck. Brad was tubing behind the boat when he fell off and was thrown toward the back of the boat. “He told us that he could see it all happening before him. Brad said that the propeller was coming straight for his stomach. He was strong enough to push away but the propeller hit both his legs,” says dad Rob with emotion in his voice. Brad was wearing a wet suit which was fortunate for him as it was able to hold his legs in place. Sadly, the propeller severed both his legs and one tibia and he needed to be airlifted to CHEO. Surgeons worked hard to save his legs. He lost 80 percent of his right quadricep muscle and required intensive physiotherapy to help him heal and get mobile again. Brad is a true superhero! He spent two and half months at CHEO and it was not an easy road but he was a fighter. He began in a wheelchair, graduated to a walker, then crutches and today is standing tall and proud walking on his own two feet unassisted. What true determination! He’s had multiple surgeries, had a bone infection that required six months of antibiotics and yet this 17-year-old is still smiling. In a recent radio interview

Brad commented on the staff at CHEO. “Doctor Kontio, the nurses on the fifth floor and child life specialist Heather were all so great to me,” said Brad. “I’ve been fully supported by my family as well.” “I refer to Bradley as my superhero. His father and I are so proud of him for all he has overcome,” says mom Manon. “Our entire family has been so impressed with the staff at CHEO; from doctors to custodians. We were informed at every step what was happening with Bradley. The compassion and understanding from all the staff was really comforting.” The Laviolette family knows all too well that no one knows when they’ll need CHEO. By supporting the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery you make it possible for the staff at CHEO to do their job…saving the lives of children and youth. Just ask Brad.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO THE TRAUMA TEAM, REHAB TEAM, AND THE FIFTH FLOOR STAFF WHO TOOK CARE OF HIM. THEY SAVED MY SON’S LIFE AND HIS LEGS!

Ashes blamed for fire that consumes home derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - Their detached art studio was saved, but a mother and daughter are homeless after a late-night fire ripped through their upgraded mobile home near Pakenham last week. Frefighters from stations across West Carleton – including Riddell Drive – descended on the fire at 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 10. In all 13 trucks and 50 firefighters were on hand at the blaze east of Arnprior in a corner of West Carleton, at 4311 Ivy Acres Rd. The victims and their numerous cats safely escaped the fire when the mother, who was reading, heard a pop from the fire about 2 a.m. But the house was lost and damage is estimated to be about $275,000. The owners are insured.

Sector fire chief Chris Burke said the fire is deemed an accident started by poorly discarded cigarette ashes. The owners suspect they may have been spilled from an outside hopper hit by a piece of wood dislodged by an animal. Burke said that while most of the works of art are in the studio, where lessons are taught, artists frequently keep work on their home walls. And as that is the case there, it is a significant loss. “That’s irreplaceable. You can’t put a cost on that,” Burke said. The women declined help from victim services. A nearby neighbour has offered them accommodations for another week. A brief Facebook campaign to help them with essentials popped up last week.

The house fire near Pakenham saw 50 firefighters descend on the scene at about 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 10.

MBFD lauded as auto extrication competition hosts team (Ottawa) and I hosted a challenge in 2011 in Carp and realize firsthand how much effort is required to host an event,” said Hunt.

Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News - By all accounts, the 2014 Eastern Ontario Regional Vehicle Rescue Challenge hosted by the McNab-Braeside Fire Department and Firefighters Association on Saturday, Sept. 13 was a success. When the dust settled the three teams in the top spots were: Burlington Fire (first), Loyalist Fire (second) and Ottawa Fire (third). Transportation Emergency Rescue Committee (TERC) judge Shaun Hunt, a resident of McNab-Braeside who is also a former competitor, said council and the public should be proud of the fire department. Hunt sent a letter of congratulations to Mayor Mary Campbell. “I have been competing in challenges now for seven years and have travelled all over North America and Europe to attend them. My

WELL ORGANIZED

“I am absolutely in awe of well-organized this event was, especially in recognition of the fact that none of your members had ever been to a challenge before let alone host one. For your fire department to step up to host this event and it go off without a hitch, is nothing short of outstanding,” he said. The mayor was very pleased with the event success. “We got a lot of compliments. It was the first time a fire department ... novice in terms of extrication had hosted such an event,” said Campbell. There are plans to host another challenge in two years.

Skebo family makes major donation to fire department Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – The Mississippi Mills Fire Department are heroes who sometimes go unnoticed. However, the Skebo family from Pakenham will never forget what they did on April 26 when their house was on fire. “They saved our house,” said Cindy Skebo. “They were able to save enough of the outside to allow us to re-build on the same spot.” After the fire, friends of the family wanted to host a fundraiser to support them during the difficult time. “We were too shy and wanted to split the proceeds with the fire department,” Skebo told the Chronicle-Guide. “We thought it would be very nice to recognize all of their hard work.”

The fundraiser was held in mid-June at Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham with local musicians hitting the stage, donating their time and the Pakenham Civitan Club provided the food. In the end, the event raised $4,000. The Skebo family donated $2,000 to the fire department on behalf of the community who helped raise the funds. With the money the department was able to purchase four G-Force TFT automatic nozzles. “I think it’s pretty nice they were able to purchase the nozzles,” said Skebo. “The nozzles are a critical part to fight fires. When we arrived the day of the fire we got a sense of just how fast things happen.” Mississippi Mills deputy fire chief Bob Machan called the donation an “extra” for the department.

“It’s a big bonus to have this given to us by the Skebo family,” said Machan. “It allows us to buy tools of the trade to help us be more efficient … it’s the latest thing out there, it does the job and is very user friendly.” Machan was impressed to see the community get behind the family and the department during the fundraiser. “It’s great to see the community get behind the fire department during a critical moment in someone’s life,” said Machan. Skebo pointed out the volunteer firefighters went above and beyond the day of the fire. “Once it was under control they helped us get pictures and other sentimental items, which is pretty unique,” said Skebo. “We wanted to thank them for all the hard work they do.”

Sabrina Bowman, a special guest speaker from Environmental Defence, will also speak on the proposed pipeline project. The meetings are being organized by the Bonnechere River Watershed Project, Ottawa River Institute, Valley Climate Circle and Environmental Defence. The town halls are open to the public and free of charge. Refreshments will be served. Pre-registration is requested by sending an email to info@bonnechereriver.ca.

Youth suicide prevention and crisis clinic open Mondays in Arnprior Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide or self harm, come forward and get the help you need. That’s the message youth worker and suicide prevention specialist Tom Sidney wants Arnprior and area youth, and their families, to hear loud and clear. Renfrew County Suicide Prevention and Crisis Centre for Youth and Families services are now available in Arnprior. “If you’re having a hard time, struggling being a teenager or someone in your family is, we can help,” said Sidney. “Don’t be shy. If your child is struggling it doesn’t make you a bad parent. Let us empower you to work through it.” The local clinic will be open on Mondays. The Renfrew and Pembroke sites opened in June 2013 and a Petawawa clinic was recently started up. Those

Arnprior District High School graduate Tom Sidney encourages local youth to access the new Monday Renfrew County Suicide Prevention and Crisis Centre for Youth and Families clinic. who can’t fit the local time slots into their schedule could always drop into a clinic in a neighbouring communi-

ty, Sidney said. “The clinic is designed as a non– referral-needed, free walk-in service

for youth and families that specializes in suicide prevention, self injury and youth and family crisis,” said Sidney. “We’re crisis-based, we’re not therapy, we assess as needed.” There are several goals in mind at the clinic. “Among the goals is to de-escalate and offer support to individuals and families and provide coping strategies,” said Sidney. The focus is to open up the lines of communication between family members, said Sidney. “We want people to come in and feel like they’re being heard,” he said. Strategies include and empower the individual who’s in crisis but also includes other family members. They’ve coined a phrase when it comes to their strategy, explained Sidney. “We call it 20-cubed,” he said. “When it warrants and the individual has buy-in, in each session we spend 20 minutes with the individual, 20 minutes with the parent and then 20

minutes as a whole group.” Results have been quite positive, said Sidney. “We have a very great success rate and a lot of people who have come back to say thank you very much,” he said. In the 12 months and 163 individuals since the Renfrew and Pembroke clinics have been operating, only three have had to be referred to hospital, reported Sidney. “We do a lot of education with parents,” he said. “We educate and talk to families about how to work together and not go about casting blame.” There is no age mandate, but there is a focus on youth. “Of those we’ve helped, the youngest was 8,” said Sidney. And the oldest so far has been supporting a grandfather who received support following a young person’s suicide. The program was developed through the Robbie Dean Family Counseling Centre.

Youth clinic open Continued from Page 27

Sidney said the clinic wants to work with the other local agencies, not take away from them. “Our goal is to try and find ‘what would best suit your needs’” he said. “You bring in all the baggage/burdens you have and we’ll carry it for a while and give you some direction.” He uses the analogy of a car tire. “A teenager’s life is like a car with a loose wheel. There’s more than one bolt on that car that needs to be tightened,” he said. The various bolts can be likened to all aspects of a teenager’s life – home, friends, school, etc. Attention must be paid to all bolts to make for a healthy, happy, wellrounded individual. Sidney himself has a passion for helping youth. He’s a youth expert, safe talk instructor and a certified registered suicide prevention specialist, one of only seven in the province. The work done at the clinic is supervised by a psychologist, he added. The Arnprior District High School graduate is pleased to be helping out in the community. “It’s good to be coming back to the community I went to high school in,” he said. “We look forward to working with service providers in Arnprior, as well as schools, families and individuals. Clients can drop into Unit 109 in the Kenwood Corporate Centre between 1-5 p.m. on Mondays – there will be signs up. Sidney is looking for volunteers who want to help with reception or other tasks at the local office. More information is available at rdfcc.com and tomsidney.net.

Extreme cowboy contest popular at local fairs Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Sports - The Renfrew Ultimate Horse Club is just finding its footing in its second season, but they think they’re onto something. The debut of their extreme (or ultimate) cowboy obstacle course at the 2013 Carp Fair continued Sunday at the Renfrew Fair, and will return to Carp later this month to offer a challenging course for 20 top riders. At the Renfrew Fair, there were beginner, youth and open classes that attracted more than 40 entries, including 23 in the beginner class. The obstacle courses present 13 challenges for horse and rider through such tests as the pivot barrel, carousel, water box, cowboy curtain and the bridge. Horses tend to be finicky souls who can be driven nervous or scared by the newest of things, like pulling a stuffed animal across a horse ring with a rope or walking across a wooden bridge that stands just a few inches off the ground. And so the Renfrew Ultimate Horse Club is promoting extreme cowboy competitions that they host at Kim and Linda White’s Hold Fast Farm, near Burnstown, and at such events as the Renfrew and Carp fairs. The club’s main organizer of the Renfrew Fair extreme cowboy obstacle races was Sheila Toll-Overton of Haley Station. She’s also a recent winner of a special belt buckle for win-

ning the extreme cowboy series that stopped in Lombardy, Merrickville, South Mountain and Perth. While watching the beginner class during the Renfrew Fair, she said she hopes the event helps the club’s membership grow. There’s no formal membership yet, but she hopes the events help to develop that wonderful bond that can exist between horse and rider. “We’re trying to bring people out with their horses to do things they wouldn’t normally see in the show ring,” said Toll-Overton. STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND The extreme events, she adds, can help build that special confidence between horse and rid- Frances MacLaren of Horton accepts first prize in the beginner class of the extreme cowboy obstacle course at the Renfrew Fair.

BEGINNER CLASS

Those in the beginner class may have ridden several years, but that wasn’t the case for William McIntyre. He’s only been riding a year, but says he’s already hooked. After finishing the course with quarterhorse Honey, he said, “I’m totally addicted (to riding). It gives you the freedom to work with an animal, and you have to learn their language.” Frances MacLaren, 29, of Horton won the beginner class with 79.90 points, with friend Lisa Theriault, 26, a close second at 79.01. MacLaren called the event exhilarating and challenging. Theriault called it exciting, especially because of the loud and supportive crowd.

Report From Parliament:

September, 2014.

GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR Canadians make countless purchases that involve measurement of the goods they’re buying – whether it’s gas for our cars, food for our families, or electricity for our homes. We should be able to depend on the accuracy of those measurements, so we get what we pay for. Consumers should always be able to have confidence that what they pay reflects the advertised price and the actual quantity they purchase. That’s why our Conservative Government introduced and passed the Fairness at the Pumps Act, which came into force on August 1st of this year. Our legislation imposes fines for those who, through carelessness or ill intent, sell inaccurately measured goods. To deter this behavior and give consumers confidence, these fines have been raised – up to $10,000 for minor offences, up to $25,000 for major offences and up to $50,000 for repeat offences. KEEPING THE PROVINCE HONEST The Fairness at the Pumps Act (FAPA) and regulations applies to electricity smart meters administered under the Electricity and Gas Inspection Act (EGIA). If a provincial utility (including crown corporations like Hydro One) are found to be in violation of the Act or regulations, Administrative Monetary Penalties (AMP) can be levied against them. The Act also establishes regular inspections of gas pumps, retail food scales, electricity ‘smart meters’ and other devices to promote accountability. The Federal Government through Measurement Canada will maintain oversight of inspections, undertaking follow-up inspections, on-site audits and enforcement when necessary. This addresses a potentially serious situation. Government studies found that, up to 6% of the time, gas pumps do not accurately reflect the advertised price – and the retailer benefits two thirds of the time. In the case of electricity ‘line loss’ that is charged consumers, the default price always benefits Hydro One. Hydro One electricity customers in Renfrew County have been questioning the ‘line loss’ calculation (in the beverage industry this is called ‘spillage’) on their electricity bills. Recently, the province shifted ‘line loss’ to the ‘delivery’ line on the bill, hiding its cost. Now, thanks to the Ontario liberal so-called Green Energy Act, according to the Ontario Power Authority, one megawatt hour (mWh) of energy from nuclear and hydro costs $59 and $43, respectively, while that same amount of energy from solar and wind costs $504 and $108. Constituents have shown me hydro bills where they are being charged more for ‘delivery’ than actual electricity used! With Ontario electricity rates rising by almost 40% in the last 3 years, and with scheduled increases of 50% over the next 3 years, line loss charges should be dropping as consumers cannot afford to turn their lights on and use less electricity. Please be assured that I will use all the resources of the Federal Government, including our new legislation, to promote fairness and accountability from Hydro One. Just because Hydro One is a provincially-owned utility, it is not above the law. By holding retailers accountable, careless behaviour and malicious intent will both be deterred. Whether you’re driving to work, setting out on a family vacation, or turning the lights on, fairness at the pumps will help make it a little more affordable. And fair measurements in the store and your utility bill will help with grocery bills and everyday living. Our Conservative Government will continue to stand up for hard-working Canadian families and for all consumers. Fairness, at the pump, the deli counter, heating and lighting your home and anywhere we spend our hard-earned money, is not too much to ask. We are delivering on our commitment to put consumers first. As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you!

Minor hockey players with jersey, parent to get in free

Sports – The Arnprior Junior B Packers will be looking for their first win over the season when they host the Almonte Thunder in their home opener this Friday, Sept. 19 at the Nick Smith Centre. Newly acclaimed Arnprior Mayor David Reid will drop the puck at the opening faceoff and any minor hockey player who

has their hockey shirt on and is accompanied by a parent will be allowed in free. The game begins at 8 p.m. The Packers kicked off the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League season with an unusual morning game as part of the Valley-Metro showcase in Renfrew Saturday. Coach Bill Griese said the 7-2 loss to Metro powerhouse Ottawa Junior Canadians was a weird game. “Because we played at 9:30 p.m., no one seemed to be able to get their legs or bearings,” he reported. “We had plenty of chances but just couldn’t find the back of the net.” The Packers seem to have

resolved one of their question marks by signing a 21-yearold starting goaltender. However, he’s a competitive baseball player and had to miss the Packers’ first game Saturday. He’ll be introduced at Friday’s home opener.

The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

Goalie Brett Hahn gave Arnprior some good saves Saturday, but his rust was showing a bit as well, said Griese. He made 33 saves in the loss, as the Packers were outshot 4034. In Saturday’s contest, Casey Doner, returning to the Packers after two years, paid instant dividends for Arnprior, tying the game 1-1 less than a minute after Ottawa had taken a 1-0 lead early in the first. Newcomer Robert Darnowski and returnee Dallas Farr earned assists on the goal. However, the Canadians went ahead 2-1 on the power-play before the period’s end. Ottawa broke the contest wide open in the second with three unanswered goals. The Canadians extended their lead to 7-1 with two more goals in the third, before Packer Kurtis Keohane rounded out the scoring. John McLean and Patrick McGrath earned assists on the goal VALLEY TEAMS SUFFER

It was a tough day all round for Valley teams. The host Renfrew Timberwolves were the only Valley team to win, closing out the day’s action with a 5-4 win over Metcalfe Jets. It was Renfrew’s second straight win, as they opened the season with a 5-1 victory over the Blue Wings last Friday in Perth, led by former Packer Teddy Suckow’s goal and three assists. In other showcase action Saturday, Gatineau Mustangs dumped Almonte 6-2, Ottawa West Golden Knights edged the Stittsville Rams 5-3 and the Clarence Beavers blasted Perth 8-3. After their home opener Friday, the Packers are off for a week. They travel up Highway 17 to Renfrew for a tilt with the Timberwolves Friday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. at Ma-Te-Way. Arnprior’s second home game is an afternoon affair with the Perth Blue Wings visiting at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28.

Ontario bests Quebec in long-standing lawn bowling showdown Sports – It’s a feisty battle that has been ongoing between Ontario and Quebec since 1928. And it’s not about politics or language disputes – it’s a battle over who is best on the region’s lawn bowls green. Each Labour Day weekend, Ontario and Quebec alternatively host this significant championship and this year’s host was Nepean Lawn Bowls Club in Ottawa. There’s a lot of hoopla for this special competition. Sporting their provincial colors, the lawn bowlers from both provinces are ceremoniously piped in, are treated to a special luncheon and all eyes are on them as they do battle in a combat that for decades has been fired with passion laced with interprovincial rivalry. Competing for the trophy and winner’s bragging rights, each province has two men’s fours teams, two women’s fours team, as well as men’s and women’s singles novice players. At the end of the day it’s the province with the higher point count that wins the silver trophy and bragging

The Men’s Governor General champs from left are Ken Keiwan (Nepean), Malcolm Rose (Galetta), Rico Silvestro (Galetta), John Stevenson (Galetta), Bruno Spagnol (Nepean), Paul Juneau (Nepean), Grant Fletcher (Galetta) and Don Abbotts (Nepean).

rights for the next 12 months. On the men’s side, the Ontario fours teams from Nepean Lawn Bowling Club and Galetta Bowls secured enough points to win the prestigious trophy, which Ontario and Quebec have fought over for 96 years. The two women’s fours teams and the men’s and women’s novice bowlers from Nepean Lawn Bowling Club also beat their counterparts from Quebec.

Galetta bowlers finish in top three at Elmdale Sports – The tournament is named the ‘Funtastic’ for good reason – it’s a day of six separate bowls contests precisely scheduled into one full day of fun. Each mixed team of four (two women and two men) compete in mixed fours, men’s pairs, women’s pairs, singles, mixed triples and mixed pairs over the course of the day. And just to keep the fun alive, the scoring is unique as well. Not only are there points for winning games but also for the number of ends won, making it as challenging for the scorekeepers as it

is for the competitors. The ‘Funtastic’ is hosted annually by Elmdale Lawn Bowling Club and this year’s sponsor was Morewood and Van Veen, RBC Dominion Securities, professional wealth managers. A team from Nepean Lawn Bowling Club won first place and the two all-Galetta teams took second and third place. The all-Galetta teams of bowlers Dave and Sandra Jefferies with Grant and Sandra Fletcher won second place and Bob and Sue Smith with Russell and Karen Oatman won third.

Warden’s tournament raises $5,100 Sports - Amidst a mix of sun, brief showers and whole lot of smiles last Friday, 129 enthusiastic golfers set out to drive home the importance of giving back. The 10th annual Warden’s Cup Invitational Golf Tournament was hosted this year by County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon at the Renfrew Golf Club in Horton. The best-ball format shotgun start tournament saw teams from across the county and beyond turn out for 18 holes of golf, dinner, prizes and presentations. “I want to take an opportunity to thank each participant and every sponsor for their generosity and support with

making the 10th annual tournament such a success,” said Emon. “The United Way has the ability to help all age groups, and all of our communities. They need our support to assist, our neighbors, our families and our community. Fundraising events like this tournament are a real testament to the giving nature of our residents.” With a glad smile, Emon presented Renfrew County United Way executive director Gail Logan and chair of the Renfrew County United Way, Shelley Rolland-Poruks, with a cheque in the amount of $5,100. With a team score of just 60 strokes, the Horton Township team hoisted the

Warden’s Cup in victory in front of an applauding crowd in the clubhouse. “We had a very fun-filled day,” said Horton Mayor Don Eady. “We are very pleased and honoured that our Horton team could do the ‘Hometown’ proud with the win this year. Many thanks to Warden Emon for choosing the Renfrew Golf Club to host the 2014 tournament.” The winning didn’t stop there for the Horton team, as Eady’s teammate Richard Barr earned the men’s longest drive prize for his 350-yard tee shot. The Warden’s Invitational Golf Tournament has raised about $40,000 over the past 10 years for various charities within Renfrew County.

Record catch Steven Grail has done it again. The fisherman who a few years ago caught what may have been a record bass but instead ate it, has landed the largest long-nosed gar. His catch came in at 21.12 pounds, beating the old record by over a pound. “I’m quite excited,” Grail said, who also landed 11 stitches from the fish caught on Chats Lake in July. It is not a gar pike, but just as aggressive, he added. The catch was certified on digital scales at Mr. Beef in Pakenham, and approved in writing by the Ontario Ministry of Natural resources.

Perfect round gives local rider provincial championship News - After a long season of competing across Eastern Ontario in the Trillium Equestrian circuit, McNab-Braeside resident Stephanie Skarica recently qualified for and competed at the Ontario Provincial Equestrian Championships. Her results at the event in Palgrave Sept. 1114 were impressive, as she represented the Upper Ottawa Valley with class and style. Skarica rides out of JCS Stables on Scheel Driv in McNab-Braeside.

Riders, runners, walkers support Terry Fox Run The Ottawa Valley Team Penning Association completed one lap of the Arnprior fairgrounds track to kick off the 2014 Terry Fox Run. Organizer Stephen Dodd was pleased with the many walkers, runners, cyclists and horse riders who raised funds for the cause. The mission of the Terry Fox Foundation is to fund innovative cancer research. Up to this year’s event, more than $237,000 has been raised in Arnprior alone. Last year 97 participants raised $7,500. Internationally, the Terry Fox Run has raised over $600 million in its 34-year history. The money goes toward cancer research that has led to many break-throughs, including the form that claimed Fox’s leg. He would have survived were he alive today.

Enjoy a Smile Cookie and help Partners in Caring News - Tim Hortons is bringing more smiles to Arnprior this week with its annual Smile Cookie campaign. All week Tim Hortons customers can buy a freshly baked chocolate chunk Smile Cookie for $1 at the two restaurants in Arnprior with 100 per cent of the proceeds “proudly donated” by the restaurant owners to support Arnprior Regional Health’s Partners in Caring campaign. “The Smile Cookie campaign has continuously been successful year after year thanks to our loyal guests for their kindness and support,” said Peter McCluskey, owner of both Tim Hortons restaurants in Arnprior.

“We are honoured to support Partners in Caring with all of the proceeds raised and to share smiles with all of our dedicated guests. Stop by a restaurant this week and purchase your freshly baked Smile Cookie to support a great cause.” “Partners in Caring is grateful to Tim Hortons for once again making us their charity of choice, said Partners in Caring board chair Lori Van Wyk. “Funds raised from this campaign will be directed towards the purchase of a surgical video tower.” What began as a way to fundraise for the Hamilton Children’s Hospital in Ontario in 1996 has grown into a major fundraising event across North America. In 2013, the Smile Cookie campaign raised $5 million across Canada and the United States. Nationally, Tim Hortons restaurant owners support more than 500 local charities through the campaign.

We are honoured to support Partners in Caring with all of the proceeds raised and to share smiles with all of our dedicated guests.

Soup was a stick-to-your-ribs kind of meal Lifestyle - The big white granite pot never left the back of the Findlay Oval. It might blacken around the bottom edge, and sitting close to the reservoir, it never really got down to a boil until Mother felt it was ready to be moved closer to a front burner. This was Mother’s soup pot. It was as much a part of our kitchen as the old pine table and the back-tothe-wall cupboard, and the only time it left the stove was when its innards were ready for the table. If soup ever came in tin cans, and could be bought at Briscoe’s General Store, none of that extravagance ever came through our door. Soup was just another food that could be made from what we grew on the farm, albeit mostly from leftovers from our kitchen table after a meal was over. Pea and potato soup were never made in the big granite pot,

MARY COOK Memories

mainly because it was already in use on the back of the Findlay Oval. My sister Audrey called Mother’s soup pot, ‘scrap heaven’. That was because not a crumb of a leftover was ever thrown out, and these ‘scraps’ were what formed the bulk of the soup, and ‘heaven’ because the aroma’s coming from the pot, filled us with anticipation of what was in store for us when it was time to add the soup to a meal. Of course, there were never any scraps from our dinner plates. They would be wiped clean by a crust of bread, and heaven forbid that there

would be as much as a half a carrot left to be eaten on your plate! As Mother would say, if we ever wasted a morsel of food, “you are taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian,” who I was pretty sure lived in Arnprior! No, the leftovers would be what was left in the bowls or on the meat platter at the end of a meal. Now, there never was very much after our big family had attacked the table, but there was always a bit of meat, or a few vegetables, leftover gravy, all of which was put into Mother’s soup pot on the back of the cook stove. Even bones from the roasts were simmered, and carefully scooped out just before the soup was brought to the table. Our old Collie dog, Sport, made short work of the bones out on the back stoop! And there it simmered away, with Mother taking an occasional peek

simmering for days on the back of the Findlay Oval. It was always a mystery what you were spooning into your mouth the night we were served the soup. You may be able to distinguish the carrots and the onions, but by the time everything had been simmering for so long, the potatoes and parsnips were as one. It wasn’t unusual to find a meatball, a smidgen of a pork chop, and even chunks of roast beef or the remains of a chicken leg in your soup bowl. Whatever had been left on the table after a meal, regardless what it was, went into the soup pot. The night we had the soup, it was a ‘stick-to-your-ribs’ kind of meal. And when supper was over, back onto the stove went the pot. More water added, three more bay leafs, and the pot was ready and waiting for Mother’s next batch of soup. It was recycling at its finest ... long before the term became popular. Mother was a master at recycling, but without a doubt, her pot of eversimmering soup on the back of the Findlay Oval was one our favourite meals back in those lean Depression years.

into the pot to make sure everything was well covered with water. And often she would take a teaspoon off the spoon holder on the kitchen table and dip it into the pot, blow on it to cool it down, and sip. It was then she would add another dash of salt and pepper if needed. The pot was kept covered, but that didn’t stop the wonderful aroma to seep out and fill the kitchen. We could smell the mixture of vegetables, the onions, and the three bay leafs ... never two leafs, always three. Mother explained that she always used three so that she would know exactly how many to dish out and throw away when it came time to eat the soup. Although she could never give me a name, she assured me that someone from the Barr Line had choked on a bay leaf, and she wasn’t taking any chances. Although we ate two hefty meals a day, one at noon hour and one at night, when Father was going back out to work in the fields or the barns after our supper, that’s when the soup pot was brought to the table. Those nights supper would mean a big bowl of soup, maybe a plate of cold headcheese, fried potatoes, enough sliced homemade bread to feed half of Renfrew County, and, of course, this time of year, a platter of freshly picked tomatoes and cucumbers. That was called a light supper! I loved those nights, because I loved Mother’s soup that had been

Civitan Club marks 10 years in Pakenham Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – The Pakenham and District Civitan Club celebrated a milestone on the weekend. The club has been serving in the community for 10 years. “It’s a celebration of operating in the community for 10 years,” said president Doris Rankin, who has been a member since the “get go.” The club hosted a free reception on Saturday, Sept. 13 at the Pakenham Curling Club. Special guests included Edie Emmons, the Canadian District East Governor of Civitan. The club has 32 members and its biggest event each year is the annual Frost Festival in January. The club has been running it for the last 10 years, but the festival itself has been in the community for 40 years.

Rankin said it is a real community event as the Civitan Club helps the community and gets help from it as well. “We did a calculation after last year’s Frost Festival and there were 500 volunteer hours and not all of those hours were from members,” said Rankin. “We want people to feel they are a part of our activities without being members.” The club does a lot of fundraising in the community and other than the Frost Festival, it also hosts a popular annual dessert and gift auction in November. “We collect money and distribute it on behalf of the community,” said Rankin. The club has donated to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the Arnprior and Almonte hospitals, is the co-sponsor of the Almonte Relay for Life and supports local athletes when they compete on the world stage. It also collects food and money at the Canada Day Eve and Christmas parades for

the Lanark and District Food Bank. “We do this on behalf of Pakenham,” said Rankin. On the Civitan International website it describes the clubs as “an organization of volunteer service clubs around the world, dedicated to helping people in their own communities. Civitans help wherever the need arises.” Civitan was founded in 1917 by a group of businessmen determined to making a difference in their community in Alabama and the first club was founded in Canada was in Hamilton in 1925. Now, the Pakenham and District Club has a place in the organization’s history, marking a decade in the community. “The club is an avenue for people to gather together and do something for the community,” said Rankin. “We are able to represent the community, not just the members. It’s a way for people to volunteer, we just do the organizing.”

New RBC to re-open in Pakenham end of November Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) in Pakenham held a sod turning event on Sept. 11 to official launch the rebuild of the branch with, from left: Ian MacNeill, RBC regional operating officer; Glen Kelsey, RBC regional vice-president Rideau Lakes and Valley; Julie Newton, RBC regional manager; Cindy Hobbs, RBC Almonte/Pakenham branch manager; Mississippi Mills mayor John Levi; and Pakenham ward councillors Denzil Ferguson and Duncan Abbott. Valley, told the crowd gathered in front of the construction site that it was an honour to be in Pakenham to celebrate the official commencement of the new build. “In a few months, we will have the opportunity to once again say thank you to a community that has so enthusiastically supported us over the years,� said Kelsey. “I want you to know that we believe in investing in this tight knit supportive community because so many of you have made the investment in RBC.� Mississippi Mill Mayor John Levi recalled that he received a call over a year ago from Hobbs and thought she was calling to

tell him the bank was closing. “I was very surprised they were considering a rebuild,� said Levi. “I have to hand it to RBC saying they want to stay in a small town. I am really excited, this is a great day for the community.� Levi said the bank was the heart of the community. “It’s a key building block and it adds to the economy of Pakenham,� he said. Pakenham ward councillors Duncan Abbott and Denzil Ferguson were both excited about the bank staying in the village. “We have to have businesses like this stay,� said Abbott. “It’s important for the town.� “It’s very positive for the

community,� added Ferguson. The new bank will roughly have the same footprint as the old one and according to Hobbs will have plenty of new technology they didn’t have before. It will also have a night deposit box. “We didn’t have that before, so that’s an add-on. It’s something we would normally have,� said Hobbs. The design also includes lots of light and large windows and will have one automatic teller machine at the front of the building that will be well-lit with good security. Hobbs reminds residents to watch for the new branch opening in late November.

R0012896177

News – The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) has been in Pakenham for 110 years and is committed to staying there. That was the message from executives at a ceremony on Sept. 11 officially announcing the re-building of the old branch, with the new branch set to open at the end of November. Cindy Hobbs, branch manager in Pakenham, is very excited about the project. “The branch has been here for over 110 years and it was getting very old and tired and it was no longer repairable,� Hobbs told the Chronicle-Guide. “It was very exciting when the decision was made to bring it down to the ground and bring it back up. It will be completely new, all the technology will be new to make the client and employee experience fabulous.� Hobbs had a clear message for the community on the importance of the event. “We wanted to have a ceremony to show the community that we are absolutely committed and that we are about to bring it back up from the ashes,� said Hobbs. “This is really the start of the rebuild part, it’s a complete rebuild and to say to community: ‘We are here, we are staying and we are very excited about it’... that is the commitment to stay here after 110 years and we can say we are going to be here for 100 more.� Glen Kelsey, regional vicepresident for Rideau Lakes and

Metroland East Special Report

JAIL BREAK

Rehab programs feel the crunch Canada’s jails are bursting at the seams. Federal and provincial correctional facilities are struggling to meet the rising intake of inmates, the result of federal government toughon-crime legislation. A Metroland East special report shows rehabilitation and treatment programs have taken a backseat to the push for prison expansion. In the first of a fourpart series, we look at how prisoners are struggling to find employment and addiction-treatment support. Brier Dodge and Jennifer McIntosh

T

he first time Dan Parlow went to jail, he was 16 years old. “I was a boy, going to a man’s prison,” said Parlow, who was convicted of robbery and served time at the Guelph Correctional Institute. Instead of being rehabilitated, Parlow said he felt like he was sent to a university of crime. Over the last three decades, Parlow, 49, has served time at four federal penitentiaries, provincial jails, and has stayed at several halfway houses. “A lot of it was robbery or assaultrelated – some firearms stuff,” he said. But he said some of the circumstances in his early life led him down that path. Parlow, originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., said he grew up in a tumultuous home environment. His father left when he was five years old, leaving the kids with his alcoholic mother. Parlow said he was physically, emotionally and sexually abused both in the home and after he entered the foster-care system. He committed robbery at the age of 16 after leaving foster care and finding himself homeless. “All these things were precursors to the life I would lead later,” he said. He started using substances to help him cope: first alcohol, and eventually heroin. Once an offender enters the system, the first conviction will often echo through the rest of their life. Parlow has been out of jail on his statutory release since July 2013 – his longest stretch of parole in a long time. He currently lives at the Ottawa Mission and is participating in its Lifehouse drug-treatment program and is studying criminology at Carleton University.

JIM HAVEY / ALAMY/GETSTOCK

The number of inmates in federal prisons is at an all-time high with more than 15,000 this year. Between 2003 and 2013, the federal prison population has risen by 16.5 per cent, close to 2,100 inmates. Critics blame the jump on mandatory sentencing and the federal government’s Truth in Sentencing Act, which eliminated the two-for-one credit for time served before conviction.

JAIL BREAK A four-part series about recidivism in Ontario

Part 1: A look at the trickle-down effect from Canada’s new tough-on-crime laws on prisoners seeking rehabilitation support. The federal government’s “toughon-crime” legislation, which pushes mandatory minimum sentencing and stiffer punishments, doesn’t help deal with the root issues of crime or why parolees reoffend, Parlow said. “There’s a moral panic going on,” Parlow said. “Crime rates have been on the decline since the ’60s, but there’s still bottlenecking in the system and a real tough-on-crime attitude.” Offenders face large barriers in turning their lives around in prison due to a lack of programming – including drug and alcohol rehabilitation – in both jail and the community, said Parlow.

His experience isn’t unique. According to the annual federal prison ombudsman’s 2011-12 report, almost two-thirds of federal offenders reported being under the influence of drugs or alcohol when they committed the crime for which they were incarcerated. Four out of five offenders come to jail with a history of substance abuse. Parlow said inmates’ reduced access to rehabilitative programs can be linked to overcrowding. CROWDED SPACES

Over the past decade, Ontario prisons have seen a large increase in the

number of inmates. Federal penitentiaries, which take in prisoners serving sentences two years or longer, have seen incarcerated populations increase by 2,100 inmates, or 16.5 per cent, from 2003 to 2013. Meanwhile, provincial jails are experiencing explosive growth in the number of inmates remanded in custody, while awaiting trial or bail hearing. On any given day in 2012-13, 25,208 people were detained in Canada’s provincial and territorial jails according to Set up to Fail: Bail and the Revolving Door of Pre-trial Detention, a report released in July 2014 by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and Education Trust. More than half of those inmates were awaiting trial or a bail hearing. Canada’s remand rate has tripled over the past three decades – but this is not the result of a rise in the nation’s crime rate, which has been falling for the past two decades. Aaron Doyle, a criminology professor at Carleton University, has spent the past year studying overcrowding conditions at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre.

The centre has been overcrowded for years, with three and sometimes four inmates living in cells designed for one or two, he said. “Two-thirds to three-quarters of the prisoners in the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre are on remand, which means they’re just awaiting their day in court – they actually haven’t been convicted of anything,” said Doyle, a founding member of the Criminalization and Punishment Education Project, made up of faculty and students from Carleton and the University of Ottawa. Meanwhile, they’re getting very little in the way of programming because of overcrowding, he said. “Some of them are in and out of court 10 times and will spend months and over a year in there just waiting to get their case settled,” said Doyle. The project is planning to release a report about conditions at the Ottawa detention centre this fall. At the federal level, Correctional Service Canada spends approximately three per cent of its $2.5-billion annual budget on core rehabilitative programs, such as anger management and programs for substance abuse and sexual offenders. Federal inmates have access to a variety of substance-abuse programs, including coping strategies for offenders undergoing methadone treatment, and national substance-abuse programs. Most penitentiaries offer Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous groups, Véronique Rioux, a spokeswoman for Correctional Service Canada, said in an email. “Overall research shows that offenders who complete CSC’s substance-abuse programs are significantly less likely to return to custody with new offences and less likely to return with new violent offences,” she said. “Over the past five to 10 years, programs and services have not been reduced, but rather improved to ensure that they are continuously targeting the specific needs of inmates,” she said. Brent Ross, spokesman for Ontario’s Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, said $24 million is spent annually on skilldevelopment and rehabilitation programs, which have reduced recidivism rates for those inmates who participate.

“These people talk a big game about these programs, but they don’t work,” said Jody Faucher, who is currently incarcerated at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre awaiting trial on fraud charges. Faucher has a rap sheet “at least 11 pages long,” and has faced 150 charges – mostly fraud-related – throughout his life since he first landed in jail at the age of 15. Faucher has been conning people for decades to pay for his cocaine addiction. Now, at the age of 44, he’s decided to seek help to get himself clean and back on the right path. Given a choice between an early release and probation or a lengthier commitment to a drug-treatment program, he said he would opt for treatment. When he last appeared in court, Faucher said he asked to go to a 26 week drug-treatment program. But his request was denied because a judge ruled Faucher wouldn’t be sufficiently monitored and may return to criminal activities if given pay phone access, as he in the past has used phone scams to con jewelry stores out of thousands of dollars. “I know I have a chance. I have a brain, I have a future,” said Faucher. “I’m asking for help, I don’t understand why I can’t have help.” He’s had periods of sobriety before, but he said his emotional struggles led him back to using drugs. “I was strung out on cocaine, my son died, I got served with divorce papers,” he said. Faucher has been in and out of the Innes Road jail more times than he can count, but he said treatment programs are limited. Wait lists are long, and with every repeat visit he says he sees resources shrink and programs disappear. Sporadic Alcoholics Anonymous meetings do little, he said. Because of his consistent reappearance at the jail, Faucher said he thinks the system has given up on him. “I want to clear up my demons. The drugs, the criminal thinking, the death of my son,” he said. “I think the chances are high I’ll end up back here if I don’t get help.” According to the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, 52 per cent of the province’s current 61,303 inmates, both in custody and under community supervision will reoffend within two years of being released. Often inmates can continue to

Karen White-Jones, manager of Addiction Services at the Ottawa Mission, says many of her clients are former prison inmates. use while inside jail. The federal prisons ombudsman’s report says the presence of homemade alcohol and illicit drugs in federal prisons are still a major safety and security challenge, despite the zero-tolerance stance taken by Correctional Service Canada. The federal department’s budget for substance-abuse programming fell from $11.6 million in 2011-12 to $9.6 million in 2012-13. REHAB PROGRAMS NEED

Critics say rehabilitation has taken a backseat to mandatory minimum sentencing and that the corrections system is doing less and less correcting. Rebecca Jesseman, research and policy analyst for the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, said the majority of offenders are currently actively using or have a history of substance abuse. She said offenders often have complex needs regarding resources, but policy can fall victim to ideology. “Not-for-profits that offer services are struggling for funding,” Jesseman said. “Offenders with addictions issues are dealing with a double stigma. There’s a fear of crime in our society and people still feel like substance abuse is a choice you make.” Jesseman said overcrowding in jails means dwindling programming space and an increased demand on staff. “Mandatory minimums and stricter conditions on parole eligibility have an impact at all levels,” she said. Once offenders are released they need the tools to comply with their conditions, she said. “There needs to be a formal period of treatment, not just setting a condition, that sets people up to fail,” she said. “Giving people the

tools they need and addressing the risk factors is important.” Private programs, such as those run by the Ottawa Mission, have emerged as some of the only options for rehabilitative programs and services following cuts to programs and services in jails. “And all of this is happening while the prison population itself is growing,” said Howard Sapers, the federal prisons ombudsman. “So it’s a bit of a double-whammy.” Karen White-Jones, manager of addiction services at the Ottawa Mission, said many of their clients are former prison inmates. The Mission currently operates a day program, a dry wing, a stabilization program and the Lifehouse residential program to help former offenders. “We have a lot of former inmates in the day program, because of the lack of affordable housing. A lot of guys getting discharged from jail end up in the shelter and hear about the day program.” The day program is a drop-in clinic; the dry wing offers a place to stay with other people trying to get clean. The stabilization program offers detoxification treatment that typically lasts 30 days. The Lifehouse program, which Parlow is currently attending, is five months long and offers housing to help clients with reintegration. “People leaving jails or prisons may have been abstinent or modified their use, but they haven’t learned the skills to maintain that,” White-Jones said. And parolees are displaced, often fearful of how they’ll function in the real world, she said. “A lot of people who have been institutionalized long-term have real fear,” White-Jones said. “They might be doing well on their addiction or anger management, but there’s still a lot they don’t know about day-to-day life.” White-Jones said every program at the Mission has a wait list. “As soon as a bed empties, there’s someone to fill it,” she said. The popularity of these programs isn’t surprising to WhiteJones, who said a lot of organizations are struggling to fill the need with limited resources. Prison employment and education programs have also been underfunded and post-secondary education is next to impossible with no Internet access, according to many critics of federal corrections system. In 2009, the federal government announced a plan to eliminate six prison farms, a program that of-

fered employment and life skills. CORCAN, a prison work program provided by Correctional Service Canada, employs inmates around the country in industrialbased jobs, but the positions are few and far between, said Sapers in his recent annual report. “When I visit an institution, typically I’ll see maybe half a dozen guys in the yard with a broom all sweeping the same area of the yard because it’s the only employment that they have,” Sapers said. “It’s not very meaningful employment.” Without the proper treatment or programs, it’s normal to see offenders cycle through the jail several times without receiving any rehabilitation programs, said Denis Collin, Ontario Public Service Employees Union local unit president for the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre.

“Mandatory minimums and stricter conditions on parole eligibility have an impact on all levels.” REBECCA JESSEMAN, ANALYST, CANADIAN CENTRE ON SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Collin has worked as a correctional officer for 13 years, including the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre and the former Rideau Correctional Treatment Centre. The treatment centre had programs, ranging from workshops to a working farm. “You had all sorts of programs, where at least when the offender would be coming out and had served their time, you would give them hope and some sort of option or direction to have some options once they leave,” he said. “And the word “corrections” is exactly that. It’s meant to correct behaviour and meant to try and give people some resources to move their life forward.”

McNab students make Mr. Nobody into a somebody News – It took six months, but Lisa McGregor’s McNab Public School’s Grade 6 class turned Mr. Nobody into a somebody through acts of altruism. The Who is Nobody? project ran in the last semester of the 2013-2014 school year. It involved a doll named Mr. Nobody with no eyes, no ears, no nose, no mouth – no identifying features at all, actually. Through participation in the Who is Nobody? project, students are encouraged to pursue their own interests and

to experience their own way of helping. Students could choose to help people, animals or the environment. The project encourages all students to be positive role models within their community and it allows student to experience the joy of helping others. Each Grade 6 student had to pick a project, see it through and, upon completion, could take a symbol of the project and attach it to the Mr. Nobody doll. Now in Grade 7, Casey Asselin, Reese Mellema and Alexandra Martin shared their thoughts and experiences on the Who is Nobody? project. “It took a lot of time,” Alexandra said of the project. “We were all excited because we had never really done it before,” Reese said. The Grade 6 students were introduced to the project by the then Grade 8 class, who had completed the Who is Nobody? project the year before. Casey, who is a big fan of the guitar, decided to offer free guitar lessons at the school as her contribution to the project. “That’s my passion,” she said. “I love playing the guitar.” She received her first guitar from her parents when she was in Grade 2 and began playing seriously by Grade 4. Both Reese and Alexandra were among the students who took part in Casey’s lessons. Casey said her program went “great.” “I extended my lessons from three to five

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. By Shawn Ryan, CFP, TEP Partner and Senior Insurance and Estate Planner Scrivens Insurance and Financial Solutions

Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come. There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.

Here is a scenario where a mother owns purchase a permanent life insurance policy a family business and wishes to gift the for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to shares to her adult children through a charity through her Will. provision in her Will.

The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities.

Burnstown sculptor strikes a chord with rhythm and wine Arts - In Burnstown sculptor Richard Gill’s youth he was known for having one of the best and diverse record collections in high school. Later as a young budding student of architecture studying urban design at the University of Florence, he was enchanted by the surrounding hill towns and vineyards where he would retreat to sketch and draw. Today, as his taste in wine and music have evolved, so has the nostalgic desire to express it in his work; shaping the human form and expressive body language of well

and lesser known blues, jazz and rock musicians as well as the architectural structure of their instruments. Composing and capturing the harmony and rhythm of cascading vineyards and hill towns of Tuscany in his unique medium of sculpted clay-relief, Gill hopes his new works will strike a chord with the viewer. This year’s show will also highlight his new designs in lamps that shed an intriguing soft glow of light through windows that emanates from within the interior walls of vil-

lage settlements. The show, which marks the 42nd annual event for the Burnstown artist/sculptor, opens at his Fog Run Studio at Bittersweet Gallery Friday, Oct. 3 with an afternoon preview at 2 p.m. and vernissage until 9 p.m. As is tradition, tastefunatics Gunnar and Bettina Guckes will create gourmet canapes to complement the show theme. The show continues daily 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Oct. 13. Images of some new works can be seen at www.burnstown.ca/ bittersweet.

Requiem in Arnprior

Home is where the heart is

SUBMITTED

The opportunity to grow a family overnight does not come around very often, but three brothers in Orleans want to give that chance to an existing family with big hearts and a few rooms to spare. These children are already part of the community in Orleans, it’s their home, and they would love to be able to stay here. These siblings were lucky enough to stay together in foster care thanks to a caring foster parent, but now need a forever family that can help them grow and prosper throughout the rest of their childhood, into their teens, and onward into adulthood. The children themselves are doing really well. They are active, inquisitive, energetic and just lots of fun. The oldest—a pre-teen—does well in school and has a strong interest in technology, and would respond well to parents who share those interests. The younger brothers are more cuddly and bubbly, they just need the support, stability and dedication of a forever family to help them reach their full potential in school, though they’re still very early on in their journey and have lots of time to ďŹ gure things out.

The Ottawa Valley Music Festival - along with special guests, including soprano (and Arnprior native) Molly Luhta - will finish its 2014 season with performance of John Rutter’s Requiem in Arnprior on Sunday, Sept. 28 at St. John Chrysostom Church at 3 p.m. Tickets for the Arnprior performance cost $25 for adults, $10 for students, and free for children 12 and under. Visit www.ottawavalleymusicfestival.ca or call 613-433-3908.

Pakenham singer to perform at Carp Fair Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Arts - Pakenham singer-songwriter Delaney Grant will hit the Carp Fair stage on Saturday, Sept. 27, with her signature country sound. Having performed twice at the fair last year – on Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon – the just-turned 18-year-old moved up to the evening slot this year, performing with Ottawa band Sidewinder and American multi-platinum selling artist Joe Diffie. “They enjoyed her so much they gave her a call this spring,� said Grant’s mother Nancy Ziebarth.

Grant, who recently performed an acoustic set with Charlie Major at the Perth Fair, is in her first year of music at Bishop’s University, in Sherbrooke, Que. Her sister, 15year-old Maeghan, will sing back-up vocals during the Carp set. “This is our home, the Carp Fair,� said Ziebarth, adding she was proud of her daughters. “It’s a great confidence builder for them.� ALWAYS SANG

“She always sang. She started off fiddle and step dancing,� said Ziebarth. “When Delaney was 14 or 15, she took up the guitar and really expressed an interest in singing

out and writing.� Her family took her to Nashville last spring, where Grant was coached by Renee Grant-Williams, a vocal coach who has worked with a number of country and pop artists. She also attended a by invitation only song-writing camp. “She’s always had music in her,� said Ziebarth. “We’re trying to work locally, just getting her out, getting people to listen to her.� Grant is a past finalist in the Ottawa Idol competition, as well as the Hoedown Showdown held in Toronto. She plays guitar, classical violin and fiddle, as well as the piano. She also works with Models International.

All three love spending time outdoors, and would really enjoy being part of a family that spends time outside, especially around water, as ďŹ shing and swimming are right up their alley! These children are have a strong bond with each other already, but really want the love, guidance and support that a forever family will give them as they develop through the most important years of their lives. To learn more about these brothers and this opportunity to grow your family, please contact Anik Whyte at the Children’s Aid society at 613747-7800 x2226 or by email at anik.whyte@casott. on.ca and she’ll get back to you.

Underactive thyroid and weight loss Weight management, wellness and nutrition Ian Harris

FUTURE SHOP CORRECTION NOTICE NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE FUTURE SHOP SEPTEMBER 12 CORPORATE FLYER In the September 12 flyer, POP page 2, the Samsung 25.6 Cu. Ft. Stainless French Door Refrigerator (WebCode: 10199148) was advertised with an incorrect feature.

Opinion – It’s hard to lose weight when your metabolism slows down, but there are things you can do. The thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland in your throat, produces hormones that regulate many bodily functions, including metabolism. When your thyroid gland becomes underactive, a condition known as hypothyroidism, your body burns fewer calories. Other symptoms of a sluggish thyroid gland may include depression, exhaustion, dry skin and brittle hair, body aches and cramps, hoarse voice, and weight gain. An underactive thyroid is generally treated with hormone replacement. However, to keep your weight under control, lifestyle changes can help. 1) Consult with a registered nu-

tritionist. Through careful analysis, a registered nutritionist will be able to recommend and implement a meal plan designed to help you lose weight, as well as a nutritional supplementation program. 2) It is highly recommended to keep a food journal. Recording all the foods and liquids can help in tracking the calories, nutritional density, nutrients etc. that you consume daily. Food journals can help a registered nutritionist make the changes necessary to help you lose weight. 3) You must follow the meal plan provided. Anyone who wants to lose weight must burn more calories than are consumed. Unfortunately, for someone with an underactive thyroid, it can be difficult because the metabolism slows down, meaning the body naturally burns fewer calories. 4) Increase your exercise routine. Exercise is the most effective

way to speed the metabolism, making it a powerful tool in overcoming the weight gain side effects of hypothyroidism. The Centres for Disease Control recommends that a healthy adult under the age of 65 get 30 minutes of heart-pumping cardio five times each week. Strength-training sessions should be done twice a week. 5) Gradually work your cardio up to the 30 minutes and strength training up to twice a week as per the above recommendation. However, someone with hypothyroidism, this exercise regime should be considered the bare minimum. If you are still struggling with weight gain, increase the frequency and duration of your workouts. 6) Do not use tobacco and alcohol because they can exacerbate symptoms. According to the University of Maryland Medical Centre, caffeine and soy products may also interfere

with thyroid medications. 7) Talk to your doctor about taking a synthetic hormone replacement to treat your hypothyroidism. This can help you gain some control over the symptoms of an underactive thyroid These are just some suggestions that may help someone with hypothyroidism lose weight. It is best to consult with a registered nutritionist familiar with hypothyroidism, meal planning and nutritional supplementation. Always consult your family physician before starting an exercise program. Ian Harris of Arnprior is a registered nutritional therapist, certified food psychology coach, certified wellness coach and personal chef. He holds many other certifications and specializes in lifestyle and weight management. He can be reached at www.ianharris.ca.

CARD OF THANKS

CARD OF THANKS

To everyone who has supported us following our fire, we would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation. Your many acts of kindness come as no surprise, yet continue to overwhelm us still. Few words can fully describe the gratitude we feel for our Mississippi Mills Fire Department – an amazing team of people who worked so hard to save our house. We would like to especially thank our neighbours, friends and relatives who also helped us the day of the fire, salvaging keepsakes that would have otherwise been lost forever. Thank you to Nancy and Elwyn Ziebarth, Lana and Barry Dean, our parents Doreen & Garnie Ziebarth, along with Gwen Skebo, the Deugo family and our friends who worked alongside us to begin the process of settling in a home-for-now. To M. Sullivan & Son Restoration, a debt of gratitude for all the hours of hard work put into rebuilding our home. Their expertise and guidance is second-to-none. Thank you to our workfamilies at the Almonte General Hospital and Ottawa Valley Oxygen; and to all our young friends at Pakenham Public School and St. Joseph’s Catholic School, Arnprior. To all the community groups and churches – bless you for helping us find our way. The boys would also like to thank the Valley Garden Tractor Pullers for the extra-special Tractor Pull in Carp. Finally, a very heartfelt thank you to Uncle Greg and Aunt Nancy Ziebarth; Nancy’s crew of sisters and friends, Mike Ryan and the Pakenham Civitan Club for planning the most wonderful night in Pakenham! Everyone danced to favorite songs provided by the Valley’s best musicians. It was a thrill to say thank you, in person, to so many people and also recognize our hard-working firefighters. This will be a summer we will never forget. It is only through the kindness of each of you that the sad memories are fading and being replaced with new happy ones. Thanks again. Cindy, Jerry, Isaiah, Jackson and Matthew Skebo.

We, the family of the late Wayne Cram wish to express our sincere thanks to all of our family, friends, co-workers and neighbours for your kindness and support during this difficult time. Special thanks to go out to my sisters, brothers and families for all their love and support, to my sister Lorraine for opening up her home to us and for the delicious supper. Many thanks for those who visited, phoned, sent texts, emails, flowers, food, sympathy cards and made donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. A sincere thank you to all the doctors and nurses at the Pembroke Memorial Hospital for their wonderful care and compassion. A very special thank you to all of you who attended the wake and funeral service and for those who could not attend, we know we were in your prayers. We wish to thank Rev. John Vaudry for the visits to the hospital and for the beautiful service and also to Marie Brydges for her lovely singing of “How Great Thou Art” (Grandma Cram’s favorite song). Thank you to the pallbearers, Mike, Tim, Tyler, Adam & Nicholas. We are also very grateful to Matthew and his wonderful staff at McPhail & Perkins for their professionalism, compassion and support they gave and continue to give to our family. Thank you to Clark Smith for playing the pipes at the gravesite. We would also like to express our sincere thanks to the Renfrew Legion Ladies Auxiliary for providing such a lovely luncheon to everyone following the funeral service. Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us everyday, Unseen, unheard but always near Still loved, still missed and held so dear. Until we meet again xo With sincere thanks , Mary Lou & The Cram families

Lucy Lewis who passed away on September 19, 2013; We reach for the phone and start to dial While your memory floods us all the while A panic comes over us and we feel like crying. Somewhere inside of us, a part of us is dying It is then that we realize that it’s really true. You’re gone Dear Mom, and we can’t talk to you So deep in our thoughts. Your voice sounds so clear We think if we phone you, it’s your voice we’ll hear. It all seems like a dream and if we could only wake up, We lost our best friend, your love meant so much If only there were phones in Heaven, Dear Mom. We could keep in touch Now we must learn when we reach for the phone That you now live in Heaven – Phone number unknown – God will help us ease our pain Till we and our Mom meet again. Missing you more today, than yesterday Mom, but less than we will Tomorrow.

Oh what we wouldn’t give, If we could say, We are going to see my Grandma today, To hear her voice and see her smile To sit and talk with her awhile But we have lost, and God has gained The best Grandma, this world contained Missing you until we meet again

Kenneth Blair Tomalty, aged 73, passed away early in the morning on Saturday, September 6, 2014, at the Arnprior Memorial Hospital after a short battle with lung cancer. Ken was born in Lachute, Quebec, on August 21, 1941 to Berniece Langille Tomalty and Howard Clinton Tomalty. He attended Brownsburg High School and then served in the Royal Canadian Navy for seven years. Ken married Gail Jackson in 1967 and had two children, Stephen and Katrina. He worked for Ontario Hydro and Playtex but spent most of his career at Sandvik in Arnprior, Ontario. He loved working with his hands, whether it was repairing engines, building houses, or taking apart computers. In 1981 he opened a lawn and garden equipment business, Tomalty Sales and Service, as a hobby. He was well known for being able to repair any kind of small engine and made many friends from all over Ontario and Quebec. Ken loved the outdoors – camping, biking, skiing, snowmobiling, and feeding the squirrels were some of his favorite activities. He also loved listening to music, especially Country and Western, and after he retired he tore up the dance floor every Friday night. During retirement he became an expert with computers, often taking them apart and rebuilding them. He enjoyed spending many hours downloading music and movies from the internet and he built an extensive collection. Ken is survived by a son, Stephen and Tammy Tomalty, Arnprior On; a daughter, Katrina Tomalty Johnson, Canton, NY; two beautiful grandsons, Jackson Tomalty and Caleb Johnson; his loving mother, Berniece Langille Tomalty, Brownsburg Qc; a sister, Beverley Scott, Montreal Qc; two brothers, Melvin and Sandy Tomalty, Potsdam, NY, and Brent and Edith Tomalty, Windsor On; and his special friend and companion, Ina Gervais, Ottawa On. Ken was predeceased by his father, Howard Tomalty; his brother, Gordie Tomalty; and brother-in-law, Roland Scott. A memorial service was held at J P MacKimmie Funeral Home in Lachute, Quebec, on Saturday, September 13, 2014. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Participants who logged five or more books were given a library pin. Library staff handed out 30 prize coupons when participants were spotted wearing their pins around town. Ten or more books logged meant an invitation to a special performance at the library featuring the antics of Eccentric Adam. Our summer culminated with our Super Reader Gala on the

evening of Aug. 21. Children who logged 40 or more books enjoyed VIP treatment including games, prizes, a photo shoot, appetizers, karaoke and an opportunity to walk the runway in our fashion show. We are very fortunate to receive a tremendous amount of support from the community. SUPPORTERS

Many thanks go out to the following organizations and individuals: Arnprior Fire Department, Arnprior Optimists, Arnprior Photo Guild’s Frank Dugal, Arnprior Rotarians and Michael Steeves, Dairy Queen, Emma McCormick, Home Hardware, Ice Cream Shack, Kaitlyn Boese, Karen Boese, Marney Hannah, Maya Mulvihill, Mel’s Florist, Northern Credit Union and Wayne Lavallee, O’Brien Theatre, Sweet and Sassy Co. and Wes’ Chips. Congratulations to all of the children who reached their reading goals this summer. Follow the library on Facebook and Twitter for daily updates on news and events at your library (613-623-2279).
