The issue had to do with the Aug. 22 decision to allow more townhouses in Callahan Estates.

“Today I walk for survivors like myself ...” begins Susan Davis’ note on the poster at the Arnprior Fairgrounds at the Terry Fox Run. She is with Jeanette Grant of the renowned Prior Chestnuts Sunday morning. The run exceeded its goal. See Page 2.

A revered trail at the eastern end of Arnprior will see an extension that has been decades in the making. A $200,000 fundraising campaign is underway for Macnamara Trail, a low impact four-kilometre nature trail on 280 acres owned by Nylene Canada in the Nopiming Crown Game Preserve adjacent to the Ottawa River at Goodwin Bay. A 1.5-kilometre stretch will be added, along with a lookout across Goodwin Marsh. Mcnamara Field Naturalists’ Club is overseeing the project. President Michael Runtz said the group has always wanted to do the expansion, going back to its formation in the mid-1990s. “We’ve always had the idea to extend across the marsh to give another aspect of interest,” said Runtz, a Queen’s University instructor and Metroland nature columnist. When completed, hikers will have access to the wetland for wildlife observation; migrating ducks in spring and fall; nest birds such as marsh wrens and sparrows. Along with the observation deck near the middle of the marsh, the group will also build an osprey-nesting tower nearby.

The extension will connect the current trail – accessed from McNab Street – on the south side of the wetland to the mixed forest on the north, by McLean Avenue. The trail is perfect for those seeking a healthy activity. Walking in nature is healthy for mind, body and spirit. Some use it for snowshoeing, skiing or running. The gently rolling paths are ideal for seniors and others who prefer a non-demanding stroll among trees and wildflowers. It is also used by school kids for projects and field trips. Not everyone knows about the old lime kiln along the trail. Built by the McLachlin Lumber Company in the mid- to late 1800s, the kiln was used to char local marble or limestone to make soil-improving slake lime. An employee of the company, Charles Macnamara, convinced the provincial government in 1920 to create a Crown Game Reserve on the property. VANDALISM

Unfortunately, the lime kiln was damaged by vandals this year, reported Runtz. Bird feeders were also smashed. His concern is mounting for the well-being of the trail.

In the spirit of Red and White day

Goal-line stand give Mackenzie upset over ADHS Staff

The Arnprior District High School senior boys football team may have a difficult time defending their Renfrew County championship this season. The Redmen fell 17-7 to the much improved Mackenzie Mustangs in the season opener for both clubs at the Oattes field at ADHS Sept. 16. The game came after the school’s annual Red and White day festivities, which included a

pep rally and the annual pigskin parade through town. The turning point of the game came in the second quarter when ADHS, down 3-0, advanced to the Mackenzie oneyard line. After twice failing to punch it in, the Redmen tried a passing play, but it was picked off by the Mustangs. Instead of being ahead 7-0, ADHS found itself back on the defensive and Mackenzie eventually turned the key intercep-

tion into a touchdown, putting the Mustangs up 10-0 at halftime. Mackenzie scored again in the third quarter to up their lead to 17-0. ADHS finally broke through for a touchdown in the fourth quarter but it was too little, too late. In other senior football action, St. Johns of Perth throttled Fellowes 36-0 and Almonte blanked Perth 14-0. The seniors travel to Perth for

a game this Friday, Sept. 23 and return home to host St. Johns Thursday, Sept 29 at 3 p.m. The Junior Redmen open their season that day at 1 p.m. with a tilt at home against Perth. With RCI not fielding a senior football team this season, the traditional turkey bowl doubleheader will pit the ADHS teams against Almonte. The seniors play at noon and the juniors at 2 p.m. Oct. 8 in Almonte.

Hens and Chicks seek Kidsport donations for Wild, Wild West gala Staff

The popular Hens and Chicks gala has grown into an important fundraiser in Arnprior, giving major boosts to a variety of charities for the past nine years. This year will be no exception. The 10th annual gala on Nov. 5, with its ‘Wild, Wild West’ theme, is already sold out. And the beneficiary will be the Kidsport charity that helps local children participate in sports and recreation programs. With all the tickets sold, the energetic members of the organizing committee, which took over the event last year, have turned their attention from selling tickets to collecting donations for the event’s raffle table. The more raffle items, the greater the opportunity to raise much needed funds for KidSport. Donations can also help the committee support local businesses, for as well as accepting a variety of items, it gladly takes cash donations to use to add things to its raffle table. And those items are bought locally. The organizing committee’s Maija Hirsimaki notes that last year, the Hens and Chicks gala had raffle table items worth $10,000, thanks to the community’s generosity. “It was extremely popular at the event - raffle tickets went like crazy,” she says. Last year’s Red Carpet Gala for local women raised over $8,600 for KidSport, bringing

the nine-year total going to a variety of charities to over $40,000. “We couldn’t be more delighted about raising over $8,600 last year for our local KidSport chapter and going into the event’s 10th year we decided to bump up our fundraising goal to $10,000,” said committee member Janyne Fraser. “The community has been absolutely amazing … and we have had an overwhelmingly positive response from last year’s attendees. We have some really wonderful things planned.” KidSport is a national not-for-profit organization that provides financial assistance for registration fees and equipment to kids aged 18 and under. Since its creation in 1993, more than 530,000 kids across the country, including many in the Arnprior area, have been given the chance to play sport through KidSport grants and sport introductory programming. All funds raised from the Hens and Chicks gala will be donated to the local KidSport Chapter, benefiting the lives of children in this community. “Help us build better childhoods. Please consider being a part of this fantastic event,” urges the organizing committee. For more information on the cause, visit www.kidsportcanada.ca.

Arena tennis ‘unlikely’ It’s unlikely Arena B at the Nick Smith Centre will be turned into tennis courts or some other recreation facility. That was the message received by McNab-Braeside council Sept. 6. Mayor Tom Peckett reported that the chances of eliminating the second ice surface for tennis is remote as the renovations could mean it will cost players up to $64 an hour to use it. “It’s up to Arnprior, but it (changeover) doesn’t seem likely,” he said.

Thieves steal customized motorbike, fishing rods OPP report that a customized motorbike, fishing equipment and an alarm system were among items stolen in the Arnprior area recently. Sometime between Aug. 27 and Sept. 3, thieves entered a property on Hayes Street off Division Street in McNab-Braeside. They stole the yellow 1993 Suzuki R25 fully restored dirt bike. from inside a shed on the property. Police believe the thief was driven to the property on an ATV. On Tuesday, the Renfrew-Arnprior OPP and Crime Stoppers issued a public appeal for help in solving the theft of the dirt bike. They urged anyone with information to call the local OPP or Pembroke/Renfrew County

Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477. A fishing tackle box and its contents were stolen from a boat docked on the Madawaska River near White Lake Road sometime from Sept. 10 to 13. Also taken were two fishing rods. A set of keys and an alarm remote control for a home were stolen from a vehicle in Arnprior. The theft took place while the vehicle was parked at a shopping centre on either Staye Court Drive or Daniel Street. Updated security measures have been taken at the residence to prevent a break-in. The calls were among 212 investigated by Renfrew and Arnprior OPP officers in early September. Among them were 24 domestic disputes. One woman was charged with breach

in August with seven counts of fraud under $5,000. The investigation is continuing. A past victim of identity theft contacted police to report it appears someone was again able to obtain credit in their name. The victim received a letter from a collections agency demanding payment. The police are investigating. Protect your identity and credit by contacting Transunion or Equifax, advise police.

“It has to stop. I’m sure it’s just a small group of young people,” he said. “But it’s sad that some person or people has decided to pursue vandalism as a career. Hopefully that career is a short one.” The club is considering trail cameras and welcomes users to notify them and police if they notice anything unusual. Mcnamara Trail is a unique destination, Runtz said, quite unlike anything outside Algonquin Park. It is the reason so many passionate club members come from Ottawa and beyond. In fact the club is much healthier than the vast majority across the province. One thing making it special is that Mcnamara Trail is privately owned. Nylene Canada, niche producer of a specialized polymer for carpet and plastics industries, owns the trail surrounding its plant. Runtz said Nylene approves of the expansion and has been a wonderful partner for the club. “They are good corporate citizens in the community,” Runtz said. “Allowing public access to the natural beauty is something they believe in. “And I think they appreciate the value of having natural habitat next to their plant.”

‘Worst planning decision’

Message from Queen’s Park

Continued from front

Derek Dunn/Metroland

New doctors

Doctors Hang Shi and Michael Fishman spoke during the Sept. 12 Arnprior council meeting to thank the recruiting committee and offer first impressions of the town. Mayor David Reid said he hopes the two have adjusted well and wishes them best of luck in their burgeoning careers. Both are family physicians who will contribute in other areas.

‘Fashions for Physicians’ to support Arnprior’s doctor recruitment drive

“I personally believe that this has the potential to be the worst planning decision we have made as a council during my term as mayor,” Reid said. The bylaws portion of a council meeting is the final vote on a given topic. At this stage the process is usually rubberstamping. But Reid, a long-time developer, hoped his statement would sway the vote. He feared for safety of pedestrians and was frustrated that council “caved in” to the developer’s every demand. He also lamented the decision as ad hoc, designed to satisfy the developer not the long-term interests of the neighbourhood. “While I understand the need to be somewhat flexible with developers to meet potential changes in market conditions, council’s responsibility is not to maximize the profits of the developer. Our responsibility as a council should and needs to be to ensure properly planned neighbourhoods.” He went on to describe the ideal: a mix of housing types; a reflection of small town life; efficient snow removal and parking; safe for children; and proper greenspace. Callahan Estates won’t have the proper balance, he said. He implied that councillors in favour were thinking of the quick increase to the tax base and developer fees. He also empathized with existing homeowners who will see the value of their homes and liveability of the neighbourhood decline. It is the homeowner who pays the taxes over long after the developer is gone; that is who council should represent, he said. “Their voices should be listened to and a reasonable compromise found that meets the needs and concerns of both the developer and the homeowners,” he concluded, just before the vote. “Compromise was and still is achievable. All we have to do is insist on it!” Except council didn’t. He again fell short, with just himself and councillors Ted Strike and Tom Burnette voting against as the bylaw passed 4-3.

Monthly Column by MPP John Yakabuski

Monthly Column – September 2016 What a difference a by-election makes. The Legislature returned on Monday, September 12th not for a Question Period, but to hear a new Speech from the Throne. This was a result of the Premier proroguing the Legislature on Thursday, September 8th. Sources tell me that even some Liberal Cabinet Ministers were surprised by the announcement. When a Legislature is prorogued mid-term, it is usually done because the government wants to strike out with a bold new agenda to inform the people that they are going to be a lot better in the second half of the term than they were in the first. Alas, the Speech from the Throne did no such thing. It contained a number of re-announcements, of plans that were already revealed, many of them stretching far into the future long beyond the current government’s mandate. One new initiative that would be of interest to people all across Ontario was their announcement of a provincial tax rebate on your hydro bills. Just weeks ago, the new Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault said that there was no crisis in the energy system and that rates were more-than-fair. Now, with the by-election loss in Scarborough-Rouge River their viewpoint changed. So let’s put this announcement in perspective. The eight percent rebate on people’s hydro bills will come into effect on January 1st, 2017. This will mean an average of $130 decrease per year. It should be noted that the changes since May 2015 have added $255 per year to the average energy bill. You can see why we have characterized this announcement as: “Too little and too late”. As I pointed out in debates, this rebate amounts to 36 cents a day; you might be able to buy a can of tomato soup, but only if it’s on sale. I hardly think that’s going to do much to help people who are going to food banks because they cannot afford their electricity bills. Moreover, a further increase will be coming on your hydro bills on November 1st—meaning that before those bills come down they will be going up again. The Liberal government continually claims that the reason that electricity rates are so high is that they have invested significantly into the electricity system. But it was recently confirmed by the C.D. Howe Institute that 70 percent of the increases on your electricity bill are due to costs related to generation. Translated, it is because the Liberal government has paid—and continues to pay—excessive rates for wind and solar that the system does not need. We have repeatedly called on the government to stop signing these expensive energy contracts. If they are going to significantly affect energy rates, they have to stop repeating the same mistakes. In the Throne Speech, there was no mention about a change of direction in that regard. In our response to the Throne Speech, we repeated this request and asked them again to stop signing these contracts and to stop the fire sale of Hydro One. The Liberals don’t seem to get it. Last month Douglas Porter, the chief economist for BMO, stated that: “Let’s just say it is going to do very serious harm to the Ontario economy if we continue to see double-digit increases in electricity rates.” If the Wynne Government does not want to take advice from me, surly they will heed the warnings of one of the top economists in the country. A final update on my hip surgery. Just over eight weeks (July 18th) since the surgery and I must say, that I am close to being 100 percent recovered. Doing everything I was able to do prior to the surgery with one major difference: I am now doing it pain free. Thank you for everyone for their patience in recognizing that I could not be as active as I would have liked to be during that period. And thank you once again for your kind wishes, thoughts, and prayers. I’ve even talked about getting back into hockey. Vicky thinks I’m crazy. She may be right.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Not-so-happy trails Don’t get us wrong. There is a great deal to like about trails. They encourage hiking, biking and other forms of exercise in this age of obesity. They cater to forms of recreation that do not spew pollution into the air or use up fossil fuels. They provide routes for people to safely jog and walk their dogs without worrying about being run off the road by distracted and reckless drivers. They can boost the rural economy by attracting visitors from the city looking to escape the hustle and bustle of urban living. Ambling down the trails leads to a greater appreciation of nature and can ease the troubled soul. No wonder developing more trails throughout the region has been popular with local politicians and citizens alike. The tearing up of the rail lines through the Upper Ottawa Valley has led to a series of ambitious new plans for trails. Furthermore, Renfrew and Arnprior are eyeing tie-in riverside trails to link with the major routes. Expect those efforts to accelerate in 2017 as the county and municipalities come up with projects and seek grants that will flow on Canada’s 150th birthday. As well, there will be opportunities involving trails related to the Ottawa River’s new heritage designation. All well and good, but let’s not get carried away. If we are going to have new trails springing up all over the area, they need to be de-

veloped properly. First off, there are stretches of existing trails that need to be brought up to snuff. Nothing too fancy or elaborate, but they should be passable and safe, which they aren’t in all instances. Then there are proposed expansions of extensions of popular trails, such as the Macnamara paths on the edge of Arnprior. It’s a great project worthy of wide community support. Once that’s well under way, we can turn our attention to potential new trails. But the public should be consulted first before any final decisions are made. While the county is scheduling public meetings this fall on the future of the CP Rail line, it seems that turning it into a trail is a fait accompli. Hold on: let’s see if that’s what the populace wants first. Even if the majority is favourable as expected, there should be protections built in for those living alone the line. In Arnprior, an overall vision is needed regarding the connecting of the revitalized downtown with trails along the waterfront and the CP and CN lines. If it’s tackled willy-nilly, the potential benefits could be lost. By all means entertain more trails, but don’t go overboard. Ensure all proposals are thoroughly scrutinized. Carefully listen to expert advice and public input. The next year could mean the difference between ending up with nature trails that provide long-term positive benefits for the area or more underused paths up the Valley.

A brush with death on River Road becoming all too common To the Editor:

I don’t know your name, I don’t know if you are male or female, I don’t know if you are young or old. All I know is that on Wednesday, Sept. 14 I was traveling from Arnprior to Braeside. I was driving along River Road and was coming around the corner by the gravel pit and there you were driving in my lane and about to hit me head-on! I know you were in a pick-up truck; I think it was either dark brown or burgundy. I saw my life flash before my eyes ... I saw the faces of my husband, chil-

dren and grand-children. I thought I was going to end up a statistic. I hit my horn and you seemed to wake up or realize where you were. I slammed on my brakes and thankfully there was nobody directly behind either of us. We both managed to swerve, luckily in opposite directions and avoided the impending collision. I looked in my rearview mirror and you were swerving onto the shoulder of the road but managed to regain control of your truck. How we both did not end up dead I will never know, but I was shaking and extremely scared and upset.

You did not even have the common courtesy to stop or check if I was OK.

Why consider another trail when current one is in a sad state?

To the Editor: Last month you ran an article about the old Canadian Pacific Rail line being turned over to area municipalities to be converted to another recreation trail. What an obviously bad idea. Area officials first need to look at the sad state of the CN recreation trail. Can taxpayers afford to fix up the old existing trail and covert another rail line to usable condition? And maintain both? No way. Would the Trillium Foundation come across with enough money? The only decent section of the CN Trail is in the Horton Township east of Renfrew (widened and smooth), but bikes must divert around fences and deep sand and risk being bogging down. In Renfrew, the trail disappears. Pushing a stroller – impossible. In McNab Township, one section was smoothed and widened just west of Duncan Drive a couple years ago. Now much of that section is heavily overgrown and waist high in weeds to Campbell Drive. Proceed west of Campbell and you encounter one kilometre of fist-sized rocks certain to ruin any bike. It’s fit for ATVs only and that’s what uses it anyway, even though no motorized vehicles are permitted in summer (supposedly). Pushing a stroller – impossible. At Riley Crescent in Duncan Estates one must navigate deep run-off ruts to get up to the street, then across into a low grassy catch basin where the trail disappears. In Arnprior, the CN Trail is only a joke. Little sections of one block have nice big signs, then the trail disappears into fenced yards, houses, etc. What’s left are overgrown footpaths of perhaps 150 yards. Pushing a stroller – impossible. The present condition of the Canadian Pacific Rail line renders it inaccessible what with huge gravel blockades and heavy overgrowth. Lots of work required, and not worth it for a few snowmobiles in winter (if they use it). I challenge Renfrew, McNab, Arnprior officials to get out and walk/bike the CN Trail to assess the work and dollars needed before they commit to yet another littleused project Dana Miller Braeside

Summer program stacks up To the Editor: Children’s programs were wild at the Arnprior Public Library during the months of July and August One thousand four hundred seventy-four programming spaces were filled in 80 different activities and 10,435 items were borrowed from the children’s collection. That’s a stack of books over 132 metres high. By comparison, Parliament’s Peace Tower measures 98 metres. Many thanks go out to all of the organizations and individuals who helped us have a fabulous summer: Arnprior Optimists, Home Hardware, Kanata Diving Supply and Dr. Larry, New Super Lucky Dollar Store, Northern Credit Union, O’Brien Theatre, Puppets Up!, Rona, Rotary Club of Arnprior, Saunders Books, TD Canada Trust, Town of Arnprior Public Works, Walter Zadow Public School and Young Canada Works. Thanks also to our student volunteers and to all the kids and parents who made it a priority to visit the library throughout the summer holidays. Carolyn Swayze Arnprior Public Library

Gun restrictions tied to effort to get UN seat

To the Editor: To all hunter and sports shooters. It looks like the Liberals are at it again; they are trying to amend the laws we already have on firearms. Hunters and sport shooters alike better read Bill S-223 ‘Amend the Firearms Act and the Criminal Code’. It is already in the second reading. They are using some information and stats from other countries to try and trick people into believing the laws we have now don’t work. However, I think it all has to do with (Prime Minister) Justin Trudeau joining the corrupt United Nations (UN). If you don’t think so, look it up under the United Nations Development Programs titled ‘Preventing illegal flow of guns is the key to reducing poverty’. Talking about the UN, funny that Trudeau wants to send our troops into Africa on a peacekeeping mission, in essence taking away their guns and are used as target practice just to get a seat on the UN and it’s not funny. Don’t think it’s a bad idea? Look it up, UN troops are dying almost every day. It will be worse than Afghanistan and you call Prime Minister Stephen Harper a war monger and a dictator. You people better wake up and I bet you won’t hear this on the mainstream media. Whoever controls the media controls the country and its people. Call a Liberal MP, write letters to the Senate and if you can call them. Steve Raymond Arnprior

Entertainment was provided by Sarah McClurg Music School (students Scarlett, Brenden, Maddie, Michaela, and Seb) and Harbour Music (David Campbell, Tara Hope, The Rapids, CSI, and DanahKae). The talent of these individuals was amazing and greatly appreciated. Thank you to Kelly Hotte of Hotte Dogs for taking some amazing pics of our furry friends and Angei O’Neill of Dog Gone Beautiful for donating your grooming services.

Autumn arrives today, but summer weather lingers Staff

It’s been a long hot summer for the most part, but it officially ends today (Thursday). But if the Weather Network is to be believed, the summer-like weather will be hanging around for a while. Autumn is scheduled to arrive in these parts at 10:22 a.m. Sept. 22. Weather Network’s meteorologists predict near or above seasonal temperatures will dominate the upcoming season across much of Canada, including Eastern Ontario. Late summer weather is expected to linger into autumn for areas stretching from the Great Lakes to Atlantic Canada, although temperature swings typical of the season will still occur. “Fall will start off with a lingering touch of summer for many Canadians. However, fall is the season where we see the most dramatic temperature changes from month to month as we transition towards winter,” said Weather Network chief meteorologist Chris Scott.

“We are expecting a stormier weather pattern to develop as we progress through the season, which could mean an early taste of winter for many regions.” The Weather Network is predicting a more typical winter this year in Ontario, with more snow and cold temperatures than last year. The Farmers Almanac is predicting early winter storms in November and a colder and snowier than normal winter in Ontario. This fall will bring with it three supermoons, on Oct. 16, Nov. 14 and Dec. 14. They are the closest and largest full moons of the year. The Nov. 14 full moon is especially significant, as it will be the closest full moon to earth since 1930 and will not be matched until November 2034. This fall will also bring three meteor shows, the Orionid that peaks on the night of Oct. 2021, the Leonid that peaks Nov. 16-17 and the Geminids that peak Dec. 13-14.

Ontario Provincial Police investigate scams Renfrew-Arnprior OPP report a local person has lost $2,000 after responding to the emergency scam. The victims received a call from someone pretending to be their son, advising he had been arrested. Another male got on the phone and claimed to be a lawyer. The victim was advised to send cash through a money transfer service for bail money

and to pay a fine. The victims did as instructed and later spoke to the son and realized they had been scammed. The son had never been arrested. Another victim reported being tricked by someone in the Microsoft computer scam. The victim had a pop-up window appear on their computer screen advising they had a serious computer virus and to call a 1-800 number. They

were then instructed to make a payment through PayPal of $155. Money was sent and the computer seemed to be working normally. When they were contacted a second time and advised to send money again as the payment through PayPal was not successful, the victim realized it was a scam and called police.

Some Spiders spin webs of deceit

*Metroland distribution area. Source: BrandSpark International Survey 2016. Story credit: simcoe.com

There is something special about a late September dawn. Pre-dawn temperature typically hovers in low digits, giving rise to veils of mist that slowly pirouette across waterways. When the sun finally breaks through, dewdrops on plants sparkle in kaleidoscope colours. And everywhere you look, spider webs hang like artwork in fine galleries. There is good reason why spider webs are such a dominant part of the landscape this time of year. First, there are many more spiders now than in early spring. Many spiders mate in late summer, leaving sacs of eggs as their legacy when winter snows arrive. In spring, myriad miniature spiders leave the eggs, and those that survive grow larger through summer. Several spider groups produce silken webs; those of Orb-weavers are among the most obvious. Spider webs serve one purpose: to capture meals for their makers. Anything

In the centre of its web is a white zigzag pattern of silk, the stabilimentum. This too has ultraviolet properties and serves to attract insects. Spiders are fascinating animals, and now is an excellent time to observe them. Just look for their webs in old fields, especially soon after dawn. That certainly is the best time for web surfing! On Sept. 29, the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club presents The Messenger, an acclaimed film about songbird decline, at Arnprior’s O’Brien Theatre as a fundraiser for its trail extension.

And their message is coming to our very neighbourhood - to Arnprior’s O’Brien theatre, on Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. - in the form of The Messenger, a powerful sciencebased film that makes the issues very personal says nature columnist and Macnamara Field Naturalists president Michael Runtz. “It took me on an emotional rollercoaster, from humour to anger to tears.” says the well-known Carleton University teacher, who first saw The Messenger when it premiered at the Wakefield Film Festival, where he was part of a panel discussion. Runtz will join a similar session after the Arnprior screening. “Very few films have impressed me as this one did. It’s a fabulous documentary that should be shown to every school around the world.” Few can see the impact of what we do now and how it relates to our futures. But with exclusive footage and high-tech cinematography, The Messenger shows the challenges that face our bird populations, warning that the uncertain fate of songbirds might mirror our own.

KAREN RUNTZ/SUBMITTED

The Macnamara Field Naturalists Club is hosting a special screening of the acclaimed documentary The Messenger Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. in Arnprior’s O’Brien Theatre. A panel discussion will follow on the issues raised by the documentary.

Think of them as the canaries in the coal mine. As the Joni Mitchell song goes, you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone. “What we’re seeing with these songbird declines is 40 or 50 years in a row of the populations getting lower and lower. So we have only half the birds we did back in the 1960s,” says Dr. Bridget Stutchbury, a biologist at York University. This observation is echoed by Runtz, reflecting on the 50-something years the natural history specialist has been studying birds in our area. “The spring chorus was almost deafening at times,” he recalls. “We still have songs, but the dawn choruses are subdued in comparison.” You don’t have to be a birder to notice the difference. Cottagers like this one from Crystal Lake in the Kawarthas ask: “Has anyone noticed the swallows have disappeared in the last few years … We don’t see any nests in our boathouse anymore and they no longer dance in the sky.” And it is the everyday person that Sue Rynard, the film’s director, wants to reach with hope. Everyone can make a difference, she says. “With this film we aim to connect people who care with ways they can help. I believe people are compassionate, intelligent, and capable of change. Real change occurs when people begin to positively care, and

you can feel this in the film.” Come to the film. Stay for a question-and-answer session after the screening when Runtz will be joined by Ted Cheskey, Nature Canada’s senior conservation manager, bird conservation, education and networks, and a representative of Safe Wings Ottawa. Did you know, for instance, that one billion birds are killed every year in North America by colliding with glass? Find out how you can help reduce these unnecessary deaths. The Messenger event will officially launch fundraising for the Macnamara Nature Trail extension, scheduled to begin in 2017. The project will add 1.5 kilometres to the trail, offering access to Goodwin Marsh for wildlife observation and to a new osprey tower as well as a new loop on north part of the property. Proceeds from the tickets to the film - $20 each ($10 for students and ages 16 and under) - go to the trail extension project. Tickets are available at the O’Brien theatre after 6 p.m. on Sept. 29, or can be bought in advance at mfnc.ca. Please attend and spread the word. The film, to be shown at 7 p.m., will be followed by a panel discussion with questions from the audience. You can see a trailer of the movie at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=LjQtRr4CKcc.

Arnprior Packers stretch winning streak to three games John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

The Arnprior Packers reeled off three straight wins last week to move into first place in the Richardson Division of the Central Canada Tier II Hockey League. The Packers kicked off the week Sept. 13 by erupting for four third-period goals to dump the home-town Renfrew Timberwolves 7-2. Arnprior followed up with a come-from-behind 7-5 win over Clarence Beavers last Friday and a 6-2 shellacking of the Athens Aeros Sunday, both at the Nick Smith Centre. The wins give the Packers a 5-2 record, good for a two-point lead over Perth and Prescott, although both teams have games in hand. The Packers rode Mathew Labrosse’s hot stick to a 3-2 lead over the Wolves before putting away their foes in the third period. Labrosse staked Arnprior to a 2-0 lead with the only two goals of the first period. However, Renfrew pulled even with goals by Andrew McIntyre and Kurtis Keohane in the second before Labrosse’s hat-trick goal gave Arnprior back the lead. Payton Jardine, Joe Vaughn, Adam Johnston and Zack Elliott tallied for Arnprior in the third, as the Packers outshot the Wolves 15-5 in the period. Nick Quade, starting his first game of the season, earned the win in the Arnprior net, making 32 saves.

Brandon English of the Renfrew Timberwolves attacks the Arnprior net while Packers goalie Nick Quade and defenceman Dylan Curry wait for the shot. The Packers defeated the Wolves 7-2 on Sept. 13 in Renfrew, the first of three straight wins. The attendance was announced as 155 at Ma-Te-Way. In a see-saw tilt Friday, the Packers were led to victory by returning captain Dan Monk. Monk and Labrosse gave Arnprior a 2-1 lead

half-way through the game, but Clarence scored three of the four goals tallied in the second half of the middle stanza, including two in the final minute to grab a 4-3 lead. Labrosse scored again early in the third, but

after Clarence had regained the lead, Monk took over. He set up Bailey Hein with the tying goal and scored the eventual winner with just over three minutes left. Hein sealed the win with an empty-net goal. Johnston had the other Arnprior goal. Monk had four points and Labrosse, Hein and defencemen Tyler Orban three each. Anthony Salahor, in his first start, earned the win in the Packer net, stopping 36 shots. The attendance was announced as 226. On Sunday, Brad Richardson scored twice and Labrosse, Hein (shorthanded) and Monk again twinkled the twine for the Packers. Arnprior’s own Jack Rouleau added a goal and an assist. Tom Meyerhans was back in net for the Packers, giving three different goalies wins for the team last week. Labrosse has vaulted into first place in the division scoring race with a league-leading nine goals and four assists. Richardson is second at 5-7, followed by Hein (5-5) and Orban (0-9). Arnprior travel to Ottawa to play the Martin division-leading Ottawa West Golden Knights tonight (Thursday) before returning home to take on the Westport Rideaus this Sunday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. The Packers face a stiff test Wednesday, Sept. 28 when the Richmond Royals visit the Nick Smith Centre for an 8 p.m. game. The Royals, who defeated Arnprior 7-4 Sept. 11, have yet to be beaten this season.

Madawaska Golf Club men’s champions crowned Kevin Ryan

Madawaska Golf Club

The Madawaska Golf Club Men’s Club championships were held Sept. 4-5 under ideal weather and course conditions. The 2016 Men’s Club Champion is Perry Freda who fired a two-round 145 with a first-round score of 75 and an even par score of 70 on day two. Freda won by two strokes over Gary Grainger who shot 147 over the two days. The B Club Champion is Ken Ledgerwood who shot a two-day total of 151, including rounds of 73 and 78.

September

Paying For Bad Spending Canada is a Nation of Debt. This year the average household debt hit almost 168%. Canadian households on average hold $1.68 in debt for every dollar they earn after taxes and other fees paid to government. Canadians are in so much debt because it is a struggle to maintain our standard of living when we pay as much as 42.9% of the money we earn in taxes to fund billion dollar give-aways to fight climate change in other countries and the liberal vanity project to buy a seat on the UN Security Council. These billion dollar gifts to other countries come from money borrowed today, which are the taxes of tomorrow, with $30 billion piled on to the national debt in the first Liberal budget alone. With the Trudeau debt policy to pile 30 billion dollars of debt year after year after year onto the backs of middleclass Canadians, and no plan to balance stop excessive spending, the economy suffers. The latest figures are in on how badly the Canadian economy is being mismanaged. Unemployment is up. Coming off a loss of 71,400 jobs in July, the latest figures are worse than they appear as private sector jobs continue to disappear. The public payroll is being bloated. What public sector jobs are created must be paid by increasing the debt. Everyone knows except the Prime Minister jobs created with borrowed dollars only last by borrowing more dollars or raising taxes. Debt is paid with higher taxes. Interest on the debt must be paid. Excessive borrowing creates more pressure to further raise taxes, which eliminates more jobs. Excessive borrowing crowds out private investment that creates jobs. Fewer jobs means fewer people paying taxes. Those who do pay taxes pay more. Payroll taxes like the new CPP tax eliminates jobs. It is a vicious cycle. For the first time, the middle class dream of owning a home is disappearing. The liberal debt policy of emptying out the countryside through deprivation of services and infrastructure and herding young people to live in places like Toronto with its out-of-control housing prices is the new reality. So too is the reality this generation is the first generation that can expect to live more poorly than their parents. What chance do families have when they pay as much as 43 cents out of every dollar in some form or another in taxes to some level of government? The non-partisan Parliamentary Budget Office has confirmed that liberal billion dollar giveaways are being paid for by cuts to Conservative child benefit programs, with 500,000 families having their benefits cut or eliminated. Compare this record with 12 months ago when the Conservatives were managing the economy. There was an average monthly gain of 13,000 jobs. 96,700 more private sector jobs existed under the Conservatives in 2015. The budget was balanced. The middle class goal of owning a home was more than just a shattered dream. Children could expect the same or a better quality of lifestyle than their parents. Families had a government who cared.

Arnprior Blues capture U15 soccer championship An Arnprior-based team has won the area’s U15 girls soccer title. This summer marked the first season for participation by the Arnprior-McNab-Braeside United Soccer Club (AMBUSC) within the much larger Goulbourn Lanark Soccer League. The GLSL consisted of clubs from Almonte, Carleton Place, Smith Falls and Perth. At the end of the regular season, the Arnprior United Blues finished tied in the East Division with local rivals Arnprior United Yellow. The Carleton Place Tornado’s finished first in the West Division. At the conclusion of the season, the GLSL ran a Youth Cup involving teams from both East and West divisions playing off to deter-

mine the overall champs. The tournament took place on Aug. 27-28 in Carleton Place and involved three games on day one with a championship match on day two. At the end of day one, the Arnprior Blues finished first in their pool, having handed the Carleton Place Tornado’s their first loss of the season. Both teams advanced to the final championship match on Sunday. Again, the Blues exhibited superior technique and controlled the majority of play, winning 1-0. Congratulations to all the players who not only practiced and played hard throughout the summer, but also appeared to have a good time in the process.

Main Street School of Music celebrates 10th anniversary Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

The heart of music in Arnprior celebrates its 10th anniversary this month. Main Street School of Music, now located on John Street, opened its doors in September 2006 to great demand. Founders Bob and Barb Martin remember it well; Arnprior’s talent was bursting at the seams, but with no central location to meet and share their talents. “We needed a place where you can learn at all levels from people who know,” Barb said. “There were a lot of great musicians in the area, but you never would have known it.” The school has many of the best musician teachers under its roof. Martin name drops every chance she gets. James Hrkach teaches both music and art; Mark Welsford has been with the school for nine years; Randy Scott is touring Great Britain at the moment; Anders Drerup, Mark Wilson, Hayden Gooddy, Adam Dutfield, and Darius Moghaddam are equally skilled at playing and teaching; Dave Pollard does both flute and piano; Sarah Lyn Kidney is the latest addition; Matt Babineau has over 20 years professional experience. “They start out as strangers on stage then start a garage band.” Barb Martin Comfortably Numb’s Babineau played with well-known Ottawa singer-songwriter Amanda Rheaume

Derek Dunn/Metroland

Barb Martin and teacher Hayden Gooddy are at the front entrance to Main Street School of Music. The mecca for area musicians celebrates 10 years in business this month. who was recently a guest instructor at the school. She will be back Tuesday, Sept. 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. to give

a session on song-writing. Stepping in the door of the former Chronicle-Guide building

means stepping into an immediately noticeable creative vibe. The highly renovated space is subdivided into

several rooms of various sizes, some with natural light floating down, others with subdued lighting for soulexploring experiences. Thick rugs, guitars piled in corners, bongos, posters of classic rock bands: it’s a hippy frat house minus the drinking and debauchery. Martin couldn’t say how many students of all ages have passed through the doors over the years, well over 1,000 is her best guess. From six-year-olds with tiny hands learning to play ukulele, to burgeoning talents destined to play across North America and Europe, music is good for everyone, she firmly believes. “The kids want to learn songs right away, and we do that. They get a sense of accomplishment,” she said. “Music gives the adolescents confidence. They make great friends here. Lots of bands start out here. They start out as strangers on stage then start a garage band. We see it all the time.” She also credits the relatively new John Street Pub across the street for giving new musicians a platform. Giving them a venue helps music lovers in town and the school too. Main Street is offering a few incentives to celebrate the anniversary. Clients get 10 lessons for 10 weeks at 10-year-old prices and students get 10 per cent off. Find out more at mainstreetschoolofmusic.com and on their Facebook page.

September 13, 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Here are highlights from regular Mississippi Mills meetings held Tuesday, Sept. 6. Municipality Applauded for Healthy Community Efforts: Mississippi Mills was celebrated for its commitment to the Healthy Communities Partnership efforts to date. Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit Medical Officer of Health Dr. Paula Stewart presented the Health Communities Summary Report for 2016 to council last week. The Healthy Communities Partnership formed in 2010 to bring community partners and leaders together to promote healthy living. The Municipal Healthy Community Initiative celebrates what municipalities are currently doing to support a healthy community and to help them learn from one another. The initiative aims to introduce municipal councils and staff to the Healthy Communities Vision, and encourage them to endorse it; to complete a Healthy Community Asset Inventory Tool; to support and provide resources for the work municipalities undertake towards a healthy community; and to track progress and celebrate success in Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville. Following regional consultation regarding the vision, staff from three local municipalities developed a questionnaire to collect information about current municipal actions that support a healthy community. Mississippi Mills staff completed the questionnaire, which covered topics such as physical activity (facilities and programs, reaching out to residents), built environment (land-use planning, active transportation), outdoor and natural environment, accessibility, and healthy eating (healthy food choices, municipal plans and policies around local food systems). The report noted Mississippi Mills has worked towards creating a healthy environment for residents by providing “many places and programs to encourage physical activity, through the municipality itself, in partnership, or privately with a strong emphasis on accessibility for all residents” as well as recognizing the importance of healthy eating and support for local food. “By endorsing the Healthy Community Vision the Municipality of Mississippi Mills has publicly affirmed its commitment to continue its work to make the ‘healthy choice the easy choice’ for residents. The Healthy Community Partnership applauds this work and commits to support the municipality going forward.” A summary can be found at http://www.mississippimills.ca/uploads/12/Doc_636082586819750152.pdf. Temporary Location for Pakenham Library Selected: Pending approval by council on Sept. 20, a committee of the whole recommendation authorized staff to enter into an agreement with the Upper Canada District School Board to provide temporary space for the Pakenham Branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library while the existing branch is being renovated. The Municipality received $264,800 in funding (50 per cent of the total cost) from the federal Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program towards expanding the branch. In February a building committee was established to oversee the contract, which was awarded to VG+ Architects. In a report to the committee of the whole, councillors learned the plans are underway, but the project can be completed more efficiently if the library operation is removed from the site during construction, which is slated for October 1 through June 15. After investigating various possibilities, the Pakenham Public School was deemed suitable. It will not be a full-service location during the construction, but will provide DVDs, most popular fiction books/ periodicals and public computer access. To accommodate school bus schedules and operation costs related to a custodian, library hours will be adjusted to Monday to Friday, 3:45 to 7 pm. Third Place for United Way Contributions: At the Lanark County Community Services Committee of the Whole meeting in Perth on Sept. 7, Mississippi Mills received a certificate from United Way Lanark County. The award is part of an annual challenge to see which local municipality can raise the most money for the United Way through workplace donations.

Special visitor greeted with morning blast from Father The morning sounds never varied. Besides Father, I was always awake long before anyone else in the house. But this time of year, the sounds were harder to hear because our Findlay Oval had been moved to the summer kitchen in an effort to keep the rest of the house as cool as possible, and I had to strain to hear Father doing what he did every morning without fail. Even though he tried his best to be quiet, there was no way to completely block out the sounds that came out of the summer kitchen, and I could picture in my mind’s eye exactly what he was doing. He would already be in his bib overalls and red plaid shirt, and his grey wool socks. His work boots would be sitting at the back door. I could hear him lift the lids as one, and hook them onto the side of the stove, and I would hear the Renfrew Mercury being scrunched up and placed in the firebox. Then I would hear him take the kindling from the wood box, and to finish the job, I could hear him place a log from the wood box on top. I knew he would be going to the back door, pull on his boots, and quietly quit the house. I heard the latch click and the door close behind him. Then I heard sounds I had never heard before ... oh, maybe the time he slammed the hammer onto his thumb in the drive shed. But the roars I was sure could be heard all the way over to the Barr Line! Well, did that get the whole house up in a hurry! He was swearing in German, so I knew it must be something

serious. Then he yelled that no one was to come out of the house! “Don’t open the door,” he hollered. And then it struck us all at the same time, as we stood in the summer kitchen, the rancid smell cut into the air like a knife and we knew Father had been royally sprayed by a skunk! Mother sent Audrey to the rag bag to get the biggest piece of old flannelette sheet she could find, Everett was sent to get a bar of homemade lye soap, I was sent to the bedroom to get a clean pair of long underwear and opening the door a bare crack, Mother threw out the whole pile onto the back stoop. We knew Father was headed for the Bonnechere River. The three brothers did up the chores that morning, avoiding walking near the dead carcass of the skunk, which Father had finished off with a shovel that lay on the ground beside it. The smell cut into your throat like the blade of a knife and I was reasonably sure we would never be able to go out the summer kitchen door again! It was close to dinner time before we saw Father climbing the hill from the river, his stinking clothes held well away from his body with a long stick and he was wearing only the clean underwear. He was quite a sight and we

were warned that one snicker out of any of us, and we would pay dearly. Mother had already filled an old iron kettle with hot water from the reservoir. Used to catch rainwater off the roof, it was big enough to hold all Father’s skunkdrenched clothes, which I was reasonably sure he would never wear again. She added shaved lye soap, a few cups of vinegar and she threw in a cup of baking soda for good measure. Everett was ordered to bury the skunk, but it would be days before the stench was faded enough that we could go out the back door without holding our noses. Although Father had scoured himself from head to toe in the river, there was still a faint smell of skunk which Mother insisted was coming from the slaughter outside and not from Father. Emerson pretended to gag and Mother slapped him on the side of the head, which straightened him up in a hurry. There wasn’t much chatter around the dinner table that noon hour, and when we said our prayers that night, Mother added a special request. We all prayed for a heavy, long lasting rain to get rid of the last vestige of the skunk smells that had played havoc that late summer morning out at Northcote.

Shingles vaccine free to seniors 65 to 70 After a delay implementing a campaign promise, the Ontario government is finally offering the shingles vaccine free to seniors from 65 to 70 years of age. The vaccines were made available to eligible seniors beginning Sept. 15. Previously the vaccines cost about $170. The 850,000 or so seniors who are eligible for the shingles vaccine should contact their primary care doctor or nurse practitioner to receive the vaccination. Any Ontarian who was born in 1945 can receive the vaccine up to Dec. 31 to ensure that those close to the upper age eligibility cut-off have sufficient time to get vaccinated. The government says it is the first jurisdiction in Canada to provide the free vaccines in the program, which is estimated to cost $68 million. Having the vaccines will reduce the likeli-

hood the recipient developing the painful infection, and reduce visits to emergency rooms and hospitals, says the government. Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, affects more than 42,000 people every year in Ontario and can cause complications such as loss of vision and debilitating nerve pain. Caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox, shingles creates painful skin rashes with blisters, usually on one side of the body, often in a strip. While the debate over the effectiveness and safety of vaccines generally continues to rage, the government points out that studies show that the shingles vaccine is highly effective when seniors are vaccinated between the ages of 65 and 70 and is recognized as the best protection from the disease.

The overwhelming friendship, love and support was truly amazing, from the owners and staff at the L.G.G.&C.C. who went above and beyond in providing a wonderful day, to the 200+ people who turned out to share a story, a Pepsi or one of Ron’s jokes (apparently some people actually found his jokes funny!) the love surrounded us. There are not enough thank yous or hugs to show how much your support has meant to us. From T.J. who continues to be my rock and shoulder to cry on, to our family, to friends and to friends who are like family, and to the shopkeeper who took time today to tell me “Your husband was such a kind man”... TO ALL OF YOU... your donations, support, visits, hugs and expressions of sympathy, confirmed the kind, generous man we knew as our husband, father and grampa. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we are humbled to accept your support, love and sympathy. Toby, George, Kingsley, Fred and Gib, no doubt Ron is playing a perfect game of golf where he is but I know he will be watching and whispering advice to you to improve your game... play nice!

Renfrew Mercury

Raymond Miles Rowat passed away on Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016 at Verdun Hospital in Montreal following a brief illness and a lengthy struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 87. A lifelong resident of Shawville, Que., where he worked as a notary for 40 years, Raymond was predeceased by his wife, Carol, in 2014. He was the youngest son of Harland and Bessie Rowat; his brothers Cameron and Frederick (“Bud”) died in 1981 and 1997, respectively. His daughter-in-law Colleen Ritz predeceased him in 1995. Raymond is survived by six children: Douglas (Pamela), Nancy (Ernest), David (Mary Lise), Robert (Darly), Alison (Rusty) and Andrew (Kara.) He was grandfather to Alexandra, Elysabeth, Margaret, William, Mary, Miles, Julia, Simon, Caroline, Cameron and Olivia. A graduate of McGill University (BA ‘51, BCL ‘54), where he had a room at the Montreal Diocesan Theological College, Raymond was a firm believer in higher education. He could — and often did — conjugate Latin verbs in five tenses for anyone who would listen. Before family responsibilities took over, he liked spending time at the Lake Dumont Fish and Game Club where he was a life member. He enjoyed walking the back roads and trails of Bristol Township and called himself a “three-season swimmer,” an exploit he endeavoured to accomplish annually at Long Lake. When snow fell, he donned cross-country skis and recruited all six of his children to join him, no small undertaking. They would be rewarded with his homemade French fries when they got home. Later in life, he and his wife replaced their skis with snow shoes and groomed their own trails. Raymond enjoyed the mental challenge of playing bridge and liked to unwind with a round of golf at the Oaks of Cobden, proudly walking all 18 holes. He inherited a love of music from his parents, both accomplished pianists. Over the years he became obsessed with certain composers — Beethoven, Liszt and Chopin were his most serious afflictions — and their music was essential to him as the isolation of Alzheimer’s set in. Raymond also played flute in the Shawville band where he cultivated some of his best friendships. Cutting trees for firewood was also a serious hobby as anyone who spent time in his over-heated “Barbados room” can attest. Another field of interest was World War II history, especially the Holocaust, whose atrocities troubled him greatly. He and his wife were devoted members and supporters of Shawville United Church. Raymond spent the early years of his retirement caring for his ailing fatherand mother-in-law, setting an example for his own children who would eventually be called upon to care for him. Even diminished by Alzheimer’s disease, he never declined an invitation to go for a walk or a drive and was happiest taking in the view of the Ottawa Valley from his home on Maple Street. His family thanks the staff of Vista Residence in Montreal for their outstanding care. A service of remembrance will be held on Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 12 p.m. in Shawville United Church. Donations in his memory to the Alzheimer Society of Canada would be appreciated. www.hayesfuneralhome.ca

The Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor Foundation

3rd annual Scotiabank Mississippi Mills River Walk and Run wins gold for AGH-FVM Foundation The 3rd annual Mississippi Mills River Walk and Run took place on Saturday, Sept. 10 on the grounds of the Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor resulting in approximately $37,000 being raised to support the acquisition of two new ultrasound machines. A record 300 walkers, runners and volunteers took part in the fundraiser. Everyone including Scotiabank Arnprior Branch Manager Krista Barrett thought the day was a huge success. “With Almonte General Hospital’s birthing unit now serving this entire region, supporting this wonderful event was a natural fit for Scotiabank,” said Barrett. “Families from up around Pembroke, through Renfrew and Arnprior, and down to Carleton Place, Carp and Stittsville, are now having their children at AGH, and we have wonderful branches in all those communities so we were so proud to be the title sponsor and help make the day a success.” “These funds will help us purchase new ultrasound equipment,” said Hospital President and CEO Mary Wilson Trider. “Ultrasound is an essential diagnostic tool for our physicians in so many areas including obstetrics, gynecology, emergency, and family medicine so replacing our nine year old ultrasound machine with newer technology will increase the number and types of studies we are able to do. More people in our community will be able to have their ultrasound close to home and wait times should be reduced as well.”

Big Brothers/Sisters information session Sept. 27, seeking mentors Arnprior volunteer finds being a Big Brother enjoyable Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

A big brother or big sister can change your life. They don’t always need to be a family member, it could be someone in the community who steps up to the plate by volunteering a few hours each week. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Renfrew County is hosting a Meet the Mentor Info Session at the Renfrew Public Library on Sept. 27 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. where people can have a chance to learn about their mentoring programs and what it takes to become a volunteer. The Renfrew County program, which opened in May 2015, has 15 kids on the waiting list. Currently, they have six matched up. “The community has really embraced us,” said Susan Ingram, executive director. “It’s

Got Events?

been a really positive experience.” Right now Big Brothers has a community challenge to recruit 30 mentors between August and the end of December by asking: “Are you one in 30?” “We are challenging the community to be that one in 30 that we need,” said Ingram. “Can you see yourself as a mentor, do you have two to four hours a week to spend to be a kid again? We have lots of different opportunities and we are encouraging people to check it out.” SELF ESTEEM

Ingram says evidence shows that having a mentor builds self esteem, improves social behaviour and those involved are less likely to exhibit risky behaviour, “Long term we see the completion of secondary school and as adults they will give back to the community,” said Ingram. “It’s not a short term investment. You are only investing a couple times a week. “That time invests in the child for a lifetime and they become productive members of the community. It’s about building community and supporting our kids because they are the future.” At the meeting on Sept. 27 officials will give an overview of the agency and share stories of other mentors in the program. “People don’t understand what we do, they overthink it,” explained Ingram. “They need to be adults who can show up every week and make (their Submitted match) feel important. Grady Scheel of Arnprior enjoys fishing with his ‘little brother.’ Scheel is a mentor with the “It’s no different than coffee with your buddy and they are really fun to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Renfrew County who are holding a Meet the Mentor Info SesNEW hang out with.” sion on Sept. 27 at the Renfrew Public Library at 6 p.m.

They have two different programs: in-school mentoring and big brother/ big sister mentoring. The in-school program runs over the school year and the visits are for 1.5 hours a week. “If we had mentors we could match 30-40 kids,” said Ingram. The traditional program has a time commitment of one year because based on research it takes that long to establish a bond. Per week commitment is for two to four hours a week and it can be during the week or on weekends. Ingram says there is little to no cost to become a mentor as they do not ask volunteers to spend money on the activities. She suggests going to the library or a park or teaching them how to cook. “It’s based on likes, so we try to place volunteers with common likes,” said Ingram. “We want to focus on a common interest and that helps the relationship start out on the right foot.” Grady Scheel from Arnprior has been matched up for four months with a 15 year-old boy.

“I’m an outdoors guy and they take into account what your interests are,” said Scheel. “He’s been very compatible.” The pair enjoy going fishing, working on mechanical projects, four-wheeling and more. “We like getting outside and spending time together,” said Scheel. As to why he wanted to volunteer, he found out two other friends had also volunteered as big brothers. “I figured it was something good to do,” he said. “I’m the youngest of three so I always had someone to look out for me and I wanted to return the favour.” Volunteering has had a big impact on his life. “It takes priority and this gives me a good reason to get out,” said Scheel. “The fact that I get to hang out with him is a bonus. To have someone to share the outdoors with is awesome.” LIBRARY SESSION

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATIONS 2016 Dream home lottery proceeds make life easier for CHEO families

Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Jordan Yolkowskie and Sarah Patterson know the importance of home and family. Standing in the living room of the new Minto Dream Home on Sept. 12, the couple, from Lombardy near Smiths Falls, held a photo of their eight-month-old daughter Everley, who is currently receiving life-saving care at CHEO. “We’ve spent a total of 210 days at CHEO,” said Patterson. Their daughter was born with a rare genetic condition known as congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, which affects just 1,000 people worldwide. “She essentially stops breathing when she’s sleeping,” Patterson said of her first born, who also suffers from a seizure disorder. “It’s a struggle every day with her,” Yolkowskie said of Everley, who had to be resuscitated 17 times in a single day two weeks ago. “We really are dealing with life and death every day with her,” said

Patterson. Their family’s experience is why the community’s support is needed to help fund the work that CHEO’s medical team is doing to save the lives of thousands of children every year. For that reason, officials are hoping tickets for the CHEO Foundation’s 26th annual Dream of a Lifetime Lottery will be sold out by the Dec. 9 deadline for the third straight year. The grand prize package, which includes the Minto Dream Home at 540 Bridgeport Ave. in Manotick, is worth $1.65 million. From top to bottom, every room in the fully furnished house features unique focal pieces, ranging from big-screen televisions to a baby grand piano. The basement is designed for entertaining, complete with an indooroutdoor serving area that leads out into a patio with a built-in barbecue. There’s a home theatre system and bar area, and the focal points in an adjoining room include a stage for aspiring musicians, guitars, a swing-

ing chair and a rock-climbing wall. “I think if you have a party here, you’ll have a hard time getting your friends to leave,” said Brent Strachan, senior vice-president at Minto Communities, which has been partnering to build CHEO Dream Homes for the past 17 years. This year’s Okanagan model home is more than 4,000 square feet, made extra special with 10-foot-high ceilings, a modern contemporary design and a curved staircase. Pale maple wood and charcoal grey porcelain flooring and warm wood finishings bring the outdoors in, said Donna Correy, an interior designer with Ottawa-based KISS Design Group. Neutral tones throughout offer serenity, and a bounty of Canadian art and colourful accent pieces make it a very liveable space, she said, adding the house is also the last address on the street, offering unspoiled vistas of protected green space. “We all help grow strong and healthy kids – it’s something that connects us all to the community,”

Strachan said. “For those of us who have used CHEO we are very grateful that it’s there. For those of us who haven’t used CHEO, we’re comforted knowing that it is there.” In addition to the new house, the Dream Home grand prize also comes with $100,000 in cash, a 2017 Infinity car (or $47,000 in cash), house cleaning for a year and $5,000 in groceries. Tickets are $100 each or three for $250 for a chance to win one of more than 5,000 prizes. Those purchased by midnight Nov. 18 are also entered for a chance to win an early bird prize package. Tickets for the 50/50 cash draw, which last year netted the winner more than $544,000, are available for $10 each, five for $25 or 15 for $50. The lifeline the community provides by financially supporting CHEO means everything to little Everley’s parents. “Well, 210 days – CHEO has been around us more than our family has,” said Patterson. “They don’t just treat Everley – they treat Jordan and I as well, and

they’ve really given us an opportunity to have a life with Everley. They’ve saved her life. “She has the potential of having a bright, beautiful future because of CHEO.” Tickets can be purchased by calling 1-877-562-5437, at BMO, TD Canada Trust, CIBC and National Bank, as well as at dreamofalifetime. ca. Second Prize: • $100,000 in cash, • a 2017 Toyota RAV4 (or $32,000 in cash), • a $10,000 gift certificate for jewellery, • a trip for two to the Dominican Republic, and • an Ottawa Senators season ticket package.

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATIONS 2016 The market’s story of two bakers McNab-Braeside Market has welcomed Slaters Baking as a new vendor. Steve Slater is proud to carry on the tradition of four generations of the Slater family’s bread and buns. He continues to innovate and has expanded the bakery’s offering’s to include artisan and flat breads, as well as, donuts. Slater has even put in the research to come up with authentic bread trenchers for the McNab and District Celtic Heritage Society’s annual Medieval Feast. The first love of the market’s other baker, Ginger Reagan, is cookies. They are sweet, comfort food, an indulgence. She particularly enjoys customers’ nostalgic stories, her baking reminding them of long ago treats prepared by mothers and grandparents. And who can resist her beautifully decorated holiday cookies. Reagan’s bread has a different texture than Slater’s and she will continue to offer her unbleached white loves. She will also be expanding her ‘sweets’ to include fruit breads. Of course, Reagan’s real passion is for her natural body product line, ‘Butter Me Up’. New testing regulations have many of her products on hold, but her lip glosses and foot products are readily available in a variety of flavours and fragrances. There is nothing like the “aaah” you get from a Saturday night foot soak. McNab-Braeside Market is open Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon until Thanksgiving, with a MARY COOK/SUBMITTED holiday market planned for Oct. Ginger Reagan and Steve Slater offer baked goods each 29. Saturday at the McNab-Braeside Market.

Lois Rosien from Crafts of all Kinds shows off her colourful supply of winter mitts and more during the McNab-Braeside weekly market. They make for great Christmas gifts, she said, so she will have some for sale during the annual Holiday Market on the last Saturday of October. Below, market customer Andy Kalnins shows off his new toy, called a Fat Bike. Resembling a mountain-bike on steroids, the bike is built to go over branches, large rocks and other impediments on both trails and roads. He expects the bike to work well on packed snow found on snowmobile trails. “I vow to cycle all winter,” he exclaimed, adding that climate change necessitates alternatives to the car. He predicts the bike will trend, at between $500 and $2,000 it might take a few years to take hold. Below left, Trista Groulx with her fascinators. Derek Dunn, Sherry Haaima/Metroland

McNab market praised for themes, music The McNab-Braeside Market received high word of praise at the Sept. 6 township council meeting. “Talking to the vendors, they seem quite happy with the way things are progressing ,” said Mayor Tom Peckett as council received an event schedule from the market. The market is in its second season operating from 8 a.m. to noon each Saturday at the Perneel Building across from the municipal office. Peckett said it was a “really good idea” to have music regularly at the market. “Kudos for

coming up with (weekly) themes,” he added. He said the market has new vendors, great products and great food. The theme this Saturday (Sept. 24) is a Scottish morning tea from 10 a.m. to noon provided by Glendochart. Oct. 1 is bath and body day and the market will celebrate Thanksgiving Oct. 8 with fresh squash, pumpkin pies and turkey hash. A holiday market is planned for Oct. 29 that will roll Halloween, Remembrance Day, St. Andrew’s Day, Christmas and New Year into one.

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATIONS 2016 Several area houses to be on natural homes tour Oct. 2

On Sunday, Oct. 2, dozens of unique Ontario natural homes and buildings of all types will be opening their doors to the public. The open houses from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. offer opportunities for the general public to step inside and see how they really look, feel and work, and to get feedback from the homeowners. In Renfrew County there are several homes that are opening their doors including a straw bale off-grid home and a passive solar and solar powered home. The unique local homes also incorporate other innovative technologies as well including radiant floor heating, solar and wood fired domestic hot water systems, solar electricity, unique water catchment, and waste-treatment systems. The tour is the perfect opportunity to step right inside some natural buildings, see what they are like and get honest feedback from the owners about all aspects of their homes. The self-guided annual tour, which helps spread the word about the environmental importance of choosing natural building materials and renewable technologies, will take place across various regions of Ontario. Natural building is touted as the housing equivalent to the increasingly popular 100-mile diet – living in energy efficient homes and additions crafted from minimally processed, renewable and local materials. There is an appeal for every interest and the demand continues to grow. CHERYL KEETCH/SUBMITTED For the location of the buildings on this self-guided tour, see the map on Ontario Natural Building Coalition website at This home is one of several using green energy that will be open for inwww.naturalbuildingcoalition.ca or call 613-633-3557 spection throughout the area on Oct. 2. prior to Oct. 2). The fee for the tour is by donation.

Calls for door-to-door sales ban increase

The ‘Stop The Knocks’ campaign to have the provincial government ban unsolicited home energy door-to-door sales in Ontario is growing. More than 20 municipalities across Ontario have passed resolutions calling for immediate provincial action to ban door-to-door sales of such things as furnaces, water heaters and HVAC and water filtration systems. “Ontarians overwhelmingly want to see the provincial government act by banning door-to-door sales in the home services sector,” said Mississauga Councillor Karen Ras. “There are just too many bad actors that tarnish the reputation of legitimate companies that do good work,” added Markham Councillor Colin Campbell. “The best way to protect Ontario consumers is to focus on the problem – and that is by banning unsolicited door-to-door sales in this sector.” Complaints about aggressive, misleading, and outright fraudulent sales tactics by some companies that engage in door-to-door sales activities in the home energy services sector has been a growing problem across Ontario over the last few years. Some companies in the industry have continued to mislead, misrepresent, and use tactics of fear and pressure to sell people services they neither need nor want. A petition has been launched on Change.org (http:// chn.ge/1SmY9A8) and is encouraging all Ontarians to sign the petition and let their MPPs know that the time for action is now. Ontarians can also show their support by “liking” the campaign’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/StopTheKnocks).

Arnprior depot set up for outdated farm pesticides, medications Staff

Ontario farmers are being invited to turn in their obsolete or unwanted agricultural pesticides and livestock/equine medications for free. A number of collection sites, including one in Arnprior next week, have been organized by CleanFARMS, a national, industry-led agricultural waste stewardship organization. The Arnprior drop-off location will be at M&R Feeds and Farm Supply Tuesday

3827 Diamondview Rd. , Kinburn

613-832-3893 lps@trytel.com

www.laughlinpools.com

through Thursday, Sept. 27 to 29. The collection site will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. There is also a depot on the same three days at M&R Feeds and Farm Supply in Pembroke. In all there are about 40 depots being operated in the province from Sept. 20 to 30 . CleanFARMS has partnered with the Canadian Animal Health Institute and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to fund the collection pro-

gram for Ontario farmers. The initiative is being supported by CropLife Canada, Ontario Agri Business Association, Farm & Food Care Ontario, and the Ontario Fruit & Vegetable Growers’ Association. The plant science and animal health industries are committed to safely and responsibly collecting and disposing of obsolete pesticides and livestock/equine medications at no cost to farmers. For more information, visit www.cleanfarms.ca or call 1-877-622-4460.

Century 21 gang accepts snowsuit donations for Arnprior food bank Praise & Worship

Century 21 Explorer Realty of Arnprior is again collecting warm winter clothing for those who need it. The realty office is supporting the Arnprior and District Food Bank this year by serving as a drop-off centre for donations of warm winter outer clothing. The Century 21 office located at 201 Daniel St. South is accepting donations Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The agents and staff of the Century 21 office look forward to receiving donations of new or gently used snowsuits, jackets, boots, hats and mittens, infant to adult sizes.

Mark Oct. 22 on your calendar. The Century 21 bouncy house will be visiting the Metro parking lot in Arnprior from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bring your children for a bounce, and a donation of food or outer clothing for the Arnprior and District Food Bank. There will also be stacks of used books for sale (proceeds to the food bank) so bring some cash. “Help your local food bank keep people warm this winter, and remember, everyone benefits when a community works together.”

Radio station among fastest growing companies A company based in Renfrew and Arnprior continues to make the list of top 500 fastest growing Canadian companies. My Broadcasting announced last week that it has made its sixth consecutive appearance on the PROFIT 500 list. It ranks 335th on the 28th annual list with a five-year growth rate of 157 per cent. “The PROFIT 500 represents an elite list of the country’s entrepreneurial community,” says MY Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) president Jon Pole. “MBC is honoured to be in the PROFIT 500 ranking for the sixth consecutive year.

“While the Canadian radio industry has been in a bit of flux, we are pleased that our formula for success and the dedication and effort of our team is paying off! “This consistent year-to-year achievement and growth reflects the strength and dedication of our team and our radio brands across Ontario plus delivering a positive return on investment for our advertising partners,” Pole said. “One of the things that makes our company special is our culture. We are highly competitive and uncompromisingly committed to being the best at what we do, but we are

also a decent and thoughtful group of individuals – and that makes coming to work fun.” “Companies become a part of the PROFIT 500 through innovative thinking, smart strategy and sheer grit,” says James Cowan, editor-in-chief of PROFIT and Canadian Business. MBC says its present growth and expansion shows no signs of slowing down, with plans for further expansion into other markets in Ontario and the upcoming launch of a new radio station to serve Milton. It currently operates in 20 markets including a soft rock station in Renfrew and an Oldies station in Arnprior.

Get ready for the sweet taste of the Valley. The annual Taste of the Valley is set for Saturday, Oct. 1 and it’s a chance to taste and buy some products made in Renfrew County. And the good news is there is still space available for vendors to sign up. Taste of the Valley is a celebration of local foods, crafts and produced by Ottawa Valley residents. The event runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Renfrew Armouries and Fairgrounds. Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce manager Gail Laird says there are 10 spots left inside and plenty of space outside for the well-attended event. “It’s a wonderful chance to showcase their products that are made right here in the Valley, from honey to baked goods to crafts and furniture,” said Laird. If you would like a space inside it costs $75 and outside costs $50. Just call the chamber at 613-432-7015. Laird encourages everyone to come and check it out “People should come on down and see what the Valley has to offer.” Laird said there are a number of unique vendors who are already signed up.

“I even have a gentleman coming who makes salt and pepper shakers and different items from tree branches,” said Laird. “We have different pottery and all different creations, we have such a wide variety of vendors” Also on site will be the farmers market, the Rotary bacon on a bun booth and the Kinsmen booth will be open as well. The Renfrew and District Food Bank will be accepting donations inside the hall and the Miss Teen Eastern Ontario Pageant group will be co-ordinating the parking. The County of Renfrew started the Taste of the Valley events in 2007 with one in Cobden and Renfrew and Barry’s Bay joined in 2011. This year there are three Taste of the Valley events. The first happened in Barry’s Bay in August, Renfrew’s is coming up on Oct. 1 and the third is at the Cobden Fairgrounds on Oct. 15. Although each municipality now organizes their own event, the County of Renfrew still helps promote each event throughout the Valley. For more information or to sign up at the Renfrew event contact Laird at 613-432-8645 or via email info@renfrewareachamber.ca .

St. Peter Celestine Catholic Church of Pakenham has issued a thank you to everyone who sold or bought tickets for its cash raffle lottery.

The $1,000 winners were A. Paquet of Ottawa, C. McGee of Kanata and A. Wisniewski of Verdun. Proceeds go toward the restoration project for the 124-year-old church.
