Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) deliberations about the proposal to expand operations at the Braeside Quarry have been expensive for McNab-Braeside ratepayers. And they could get even more expensive. REGION REGION Mayor Tom Peckett told council at its Sept. 20 meeting that the township has just been informed the issue “is going back to court,” as Miller Paving has filed to have the OMB revisit some areas of its decision handed down on Oct. 27, 2015. .CA .COM Miller asked for the right to appeal earlier this year, arguing that the OMB decision “erred in law” in several areas including issues revolving around setbacks and the permanent asphalt plant proposal.

Remembering a derby friend

The Sept. 24 Arnprior Fall Brawl demolition derby was bittersweet for the family of Chris Walsh, a derby enthusiast who was killed in April of this year. Derby organizers presented Walsh’s family with a special momento - a framed photo collage. “We think of him every day,” said Walsh’s mom Diane Swaine, who is holding the frame. Joining her, from left, are Scott Rancourt, Murray Swaine, Melissa Walsh and Ryley Burns. A team of cars painted orange and bearing the words ‘In loving memory of Chris Walsh’ participated in the afternoon event.

Two Arnprior institutions in the insurance business have joined forces. J.P. Mulvihill & Son has bought Mather Insurance effective Oct. 1. Mulvihill has been servicing customers in Arnprior since 1945 and Mather has been in business in real estate and insurance since 1958. Wendy Mather, who took over the business from her mother Edna, a legend in the local business scene, noted that her mother once worked for J.P. Mulvihill. It was J.P.s son, Jim, who received the key to Mather’s from Wendy in a ceremony marking the changeover. Wendy Mather is retiring from the business. A third generation of Mulvihills is now helping run the business with Matt, Kevin and Erin involved. Mulvihill Insurance will be operating out of the Mather office at 159 John St. for the next couple of months while its premises at 80 John St. is renovated. The goal is to move back by Dec. 1.

Bidder takes issue with Arnprior tender process Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The Town of Arnprior unfairly handled a recent tender process, according to the owner of a snowplough business. Lowest bidder Adam Kittle Enterprises of Stittsville lost to the only other bidder, Antrim Contracting of Arnprior. Commonly, the lowest bidder wins a tendered contract, so what gives? “I got completely screwed and I think it was an inside job,” said Kittle when contacted by Metroland. “Some people told me I should pursue it (through legal action).” The tender in question is for the town’s sidewalk maintenance over the next 10 years, for both winter snowploughing and spring sweeping. Kittle offered to do it for an average $106.50 per hour versus Antrim’s $118.30. The difference could be tens of thousand of dollars over the lifetime of the contract. Kittle said town staff told him during a conference call he had won the contract. A few days later, following the Sept. 12 council vote, he learned it went to Antrim. “They did everything to find a loophole to keep me out,” Kittle said. “I’ll go off somebody’s word. I’m just glad I didn’t go out and spend $400,000 on equipment.” Asked if he is planning to sue the municipality, Kittle is doubtful especially when considering the practical implications.
“Not at the moment, but I probably should,” he said. “The problem is, if I fight it and win I have to work with these people for the next 10 years. So how is that going to go?” However, town staff denies having told him he had won the contract. The highly experienced staffers know council alone makes that decision (by vote). And the conference call came after staff sent an email saying another bidder had won, according to Arnprior’s acting public works director John Steckly. “They called back in reaction to that email,” he said. The town’s chief administrative officer, Michael Wildman, said Kittle isn’t even the legitimate lowest bidder. After studying both bids, only Antrim’s could be considered, he said. Antrim’s four proposed tractors are “articulated,” meaning they can make 90-degree turns, which is crucial to clearing sidewalks, Wildman said. Only two of Kittle’s four proposed tractors are articulated. The other two are deemed farm tractors. BID DISQUALIFIED
The town went the extra step to have its lawyers look over Kittle’s submission; they disqualified it. While Kittle is correct to say the word articulated doesn’t appear in the tender, Wildman said it is implied on page 13 with “All of the equipment used for this contract shall be
36 HOUR
SALE
equipment specifically constructed to perform maintenance work on sidewalks.” Kittle also maintains that he was collaborating with the town to come up with the best vehicles at the best price. He was under the impression that he could jot four tractors into the tender, but that he didn’t have to commit until after he won the contract. Wildman said the town has to take his written submission as sincere. “Or it becomes a moving target, and that’s not fair to the other bidders,” he said. Bidders sign their name to the tender, which says they have read the entire document. That includes the part asking for specific details on equipment, not generalities. TIME IS MONEY
Mayor David Reid made the point that buying cheaper or inadequate tractors would add hours to each snow-clearing. That would in turn drive up the cost. “It’s not just about the hourly rate,” he said. “The capacity of the equipment is key.” He added that tenders are always decided in the best interests of the ratepayer. Wildman said the best example of that is related to Reid, literally. His brother lost a tender by $200 to a Renfrew supplier. More importantly, though, are the provincial government rules in place for decades now. The town also has rules to guide council away from dangerous scenarios.
A second issue brought up by at least three observers has to do with Antrim owner Clint Duff. He sits on the town’s operations committee. Is that a conflict of interest? Reid and Wildman say they look for experts in fields related to specific committees. So it is no surprise that someone in the construction industry would sit on the operations committee. They also say the committee is “advisory,” meaning it can make suggestions to council, but elected officials cast the final vote. No one at town hall is monitoring how many tendered and untendered contracts Antrim’s wins. Nor is there a comparison done of before and after he joined the committee. Wildman instituted a new procedure a few years ago that has the municipality divvy out small jobs to three separate companies, including Antrim’s. He said that ensures competitive pricing. It also means the town is not beholden to one company. Attempts to reach Duff were unsuccessful. “There was a point in time when procedural rules were not what they are today; when a phone call would do. We can’t do that anymore,” Wildman said. “It’s not an old boys’ club. Maybe you could say that 50 years ago, but not now.” He added that those who have never participated in the process are allowed to have an opinion, but it would be an uneducated one.

Town council won’t axe tree program Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
A critic of the Town of Arnprior’s tree cutting program spoke to council at the Sept. 12 meeting. George Perry said trees infected with the emerald ash borer should be completely dead before they are cut down. He wants the municipality to explore other options, not simply pick the cheapest one. He also asserted that fear of lawsuits should someone be harmed by a falling branch is also motivating the town. “You could at least have tried to save them,” Perry said.
“I don’t see why you can’t leave it to die on its own. All life matters.” Mayor David Reid said a man was in hospital after being hit by a falling branch in Ottawa days before the meeting. Safety is important. He also said the town considered other options, but they proved ineffective along with too expensive. Experts provided advice. New trees replace those taken down, he added. The town will not change its program. “I think you made your point,” Reid said after a 10-minute exchange. “We take finances and safety into consideration.”
County ‘not banning wood, oil burning’ Staff
Shop Local winner
DEREK DUNN/METROLAND
Mary Simpson holds a voucher worth $100, to be spent at participating merchant in Arnprior. The Shop Local initiative has seen an increase in usage from 250 to 300 cards, according to the town’s marketing economic development officer Lindsay Wilson, left. The Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce also runs the program. President Pam Cox is also on hand to present the award.
Stung by recent public comments suggesting its revised official plan would ban the burning of wood and oil, the County of Renfrew has issued a statement stressing the contention is “totally inaccurate.” “Let me be perfectly clear on this issue … there is no mention of wood burning or oil burning in the County’s five-year Official Plan update,” said County Warden Peter Emon in a news release Tuesday. “I would say that people need to look for themselves and view the document on our website or in person. “Then they will clearly see that there is no reference to wood or oil burning.
“As always, County staff are available to answer the public’s questions by phone or in person at the County office.” The county is currently reviewing its official plan, as mandated by the province, has held seven public input sessions and is accepting written submissions until this Friday, Sept. 30. Once the public submissions are all received they will be compiled and presented in a report to the development and property committee and County council in early 2017 The county has had an official plan in place for nearly 40 years. Meanwhile, a Renfrew County landowners group is asking residents to send in submissions urging the county not to infringe on landowners rights (see story on page 7).

Township welcomes area’s two newest doctors John Carter
John.carter@metroland.com
The Arnprior Physician Recruitment Committee efforts were key in recruiting them to Arnprior, the area’s two newest doctors told McNab-Braeside council last week. Dr. Hang Shi and Dr. Michael Fishman were welcomed to the area by council at its Sept. 20 meeting. Dr. Fishman, who grew up in Montreal, admitted he had never even heard of Arnprior before being recruited to set up an office in town. It’s not easy for small towns to recruit doctors, so there is great value in the township supporting the ongoing recruiting efforts, he said.

Dr. Shi, who grew up in Toronto, thanked the committee for alerting the new doctors to the opportunities in Arnprior
and making them welcome. McNab-Braeside mayor Tom Peckett welcomed the two doctors and noted that with their
backgrounds it must be a “cultural shock” for them to move out of the city. But it is a “great place to live and raise a family,” he said. “I hope you find the change of lifestyle to your liking.” Physician recruitment coordinator Laura Tromp said the committee is delighted it has been able to attract two new physicians in each of the last two years. It hopes to attract another two next year, she said. The committee is holding a Fashions for Physicians fashion show this Friday, Sept. 30 at 7:30 in the Nick Smith Centre with proceeds going to the effort to attract more doctors.
Early budget finalization planned McNab-Braeside council anticipates having the township’s 2017 budget finalized before year-end. Council has approved a schedule that sees staff make draft budget presentations on Nov. 21-22.
Council will then hold deliberations on Nov. 28 and Dec. 1 with a planned passing Dec. 20. Among items to be considered are requests for Celebrate M-B 2017, Logger’s Memory Project and FACT-MB.

Cost exceeds $150,000 for McNab-Braeside Continued from front
Peckett said the process has already cost the township in the area of $164,000. He was responding to letters from FACT-MB supporters, including one on the council agenda by Elizabeth Dickson, urging council to help the residents group with its costs incurred in bringing in expert witnesses for the lengthy OMB hearing in March 2015. Council has indicated in the past that it wouldn’t decide whether to help FACT-MB with its OMB-related costs until the process had been finalized. The issue will be discussed again during township budget discussions this fall, Peckett said. In the meantime, people shouldn’t criticize council about not protecting local water sources before learning the facts, he added. “There seems to be a misconception about what the township has done,” he said. “I’m not sure where a lot of this information is coming from.” Noting that there has been several letters on the issue, he suggested “folks should check the facts before starting to relate things in the paper, especially if they are not true.” Lottery License #8142 • 50/50 Draw License #8164
Peckett pointed out that the OMB agreed with the township’s contentions to extend the buffer zone and reject a permanent asphalt plant, both of which protect the water table. He also said that the OMB has indicated there is no evidence the quarry operations are a cause of the low water table in the area or are affecting the wetlands. Even the FACT-MB expert agreed such conclusions would be premature, he said. Peckett noted that FACT-MB spokeswoman Norma Moore has publicly thanked council for its stand on the quarry, “so I’m confused why these letters keep cropping up in the paper.” With the issue going back to the courts, “I’m going to leave it at that,” he concluded. The recent loss of water by Arnprior for two days seems to have sparked a series of letters from residents expressing concerns that water in wells near the quarry could be compromised. Dickson urged council to put a plan in place in case the water in the area becomes undrinkable. In another letter, Usborne Street resident Trevor Turner asked council to start making payments to help reduce the debt FACT-MB incurred to hire experts for the last year’s hearing.

Renovations to the building are estimated to be $15,000 and are to be paid up front by the municipality and deducted from rent costs over a three-year lease period to pay back into reserves.

Murder victims remembered, MP reintroduces parole bill Staff
On the first anniversary of the slaying of three Renfrew County women, the efforts to protect women from such violence continues. On Sept. 22, 2015, the killings of Anastasia Kuzyk, Carol Culleton and Nathalie Warmerdam stunned Renfrew County residents. Basil Bortutski was charged with the murders and is being held in custody pending a trail next September, almost two years after the crime. In the provincial Legislature on Sept. 22, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski reintroduced his Private Member’s Bill that aims to help keep victims of a violence crime safer by compelling inmates to

The Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke chapter of the Ontario Landowners Association urges residents to know their rights, especially when it comes to the County of Renfrew’s Official Plan amendments. More than 200 people attended a meeting hosted by the association on Sept. 23 in Cobden. President Donna Burns says the meeting was very well attended with lots of people really interested in the issue. Burns says if people don’t want their property included in the new amendments they have to put in a written submission by Sept. 30. The group has a template on their website www.renfrewlandowners.ca . “It gives some guidelines on how to word it,” said Burns. She stressed property owners were never informed of the proposed changes and if they don’t speak up it means they are deemed to have given implied consent to the revised official plan. “Under legislation, at the municipal level and under the constitution they do not have the authority on private land to exercise their authority without the consent of the owner,” said Burns. “They have to enter into an agreement and the property owner has to be aware.” The purpose of the meeting was to help people understand the official plan, inform them and encourage them to speak to their local council. Also speaking at the meeting were association member Ed Kaminskie and Jeff Bogaerts, vice-president of the Ontario Landowners Association. For more information on the official plan visit http://www.countyofrenfrew.on.ca/ . Comments must be submitted by Sept. 30 to officialplan@ countyofrenfrew.on.ca .
sign their certificate of parole before they are released back into the community. To also mark the one-year anniversary of the horrific murders, a memorial service was held at the Women’s Monument in Petawawa. As well, the annual Renfrew County Take Back the Night march, held in Eganville last Thursday, was given special meaning by its date. At the Petawawa memorial, feminist lawyer Pamela Cross addressed the issue of violence against women and there was a moment of silence, a laying of roses and the planting of three trees to honour the three victims. Meanwhile, in a news release, Yakabuski noted that he often hears from residents who want greater accountability placed on parolees so that their victims are safer. “It is unacceptable that a year has
past since Anastasia Kuzyk, Nathalie Warmerdam, and Carol Culleton were taken from us, yet the government has not passed legislation to strengthen our parole system,” he said. “Government must take this matter seriously and acknowledge there are ways to provide greater protection to victims of violence - anything less is unacceptable.” Yakabuski pointed out that currently the Ministry of Correctional Services Act allows for inmates to be granted parole even when they refuse to sign their certificates of parole. The triple homicides that took place in Renfrew County a year ago was just such a scenario, he said. According to media reports, the accused refused to sign this document and never admitted wrongdoing for previous offences. Last autumn the original version of Yakabuski’s Private Member’s Bill (PMB) making it necessary for in-

After several months of refusing to co-operative with the judicial process, Borutski, who faces three charges of first-degree murder, was remanded in custody for trial by judge and jury on Sept. 18, 2017.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Discouraging violence everyone’s duty Most Renfrew County residents remember what they were doing on Sept. 22, 2015, a beautiful last day of summer in the Valley. A beautiful day, that is, until the shocking news began to circulate that three woman had been found murdered in the usually peaceful laid-back backwoods of the county. A year to the day later, Anastasia Kuzyk, Nathalie Warmerdam and Carol Culleton were remembered and honoured in an achingly sad memorial service at the Renfrew County Women’s Monument in Petawawa. Their memories also loomed large at the Renfrew County Take Back the Night march in that evening in Eganville. Speakers at both events expressed frustration that little has improved when it comes to deterring violence against women, especially in the rural areas. Unfortunately the local OPP reports and scanner broadcasts are too often dominated by domestic abuse calls. Of course, not all abusers are men, but certainly the vast majority are. There are many reasons why this area is prone to violence against women. Poverty, mental illness, self-loathing, an ‘old boys’ attitude, lack of respect and compassion, refusal to take responsibility for ones actions. It’s not an easy problem to tackle, but any remedies have to focus on both the abusers and the victims. The law has to take a stronger stand with abusers. It’s infuriating that the convicted abuser charged with the triple murders was able to break his parole conditions time and time again without
any repercussions. No wonder domestic violence is rampant when the perpetrators can thumb their noses at court rulings and restraining orders. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski is trying to tighten up the system with his Private Member’s Bill that would compel inmates to sign their certificate of parole before they are released back into the community and require electronic monitoring for offenders who are convicted of sexual or domestic assault. Hopefully, his bill will pass or the province will come up with one of its own. If those in positions of power don’t take the crime seriously, no wonder so many victims are left feeling the abuse is their fault. And it’s inexcusable that is allowed to happen. While putting some teeth into the laws will help, what is really needed is a widespread shift of attitude. Strict rules and enforcement can assist schools in addressing the problem of bullying, but what really works is having the students themselves embrace the no tolerance approach. If we are to makes strides in deterring violence against women, we all need to adopt a no tolerance stance to shame and shun the abusers. Family, friends and society as a whole need to speak up and impress on abusers their actions are not acceptable. No more sitting back in silence and allowing this scourge to continue. Then maybe one day the monuments to survivors of abuse can host celebrations instead of melancholy gatherings lamenting the lack of progress in keeping women safe from violence.
Thanks for making a B.C. boy feel welcome in your beautiful Valley
Parting is such sweet sorrow. It’s time to go, but I’ll miss all the dedicated and talented people I have had the good fortune to work with and the many interesting people I regularly get to meet. And I will miss the excitement and intrigue that comes with being a journalist. It’s definitely more than a job; it’s a calling. Yes, journalism can be frustrating, exhausting and definitely difficult on family life. And with all the changes and cutbacks, it’s becoming even challenging.
But it’s also fascinating, stimulating and gratifying. And it can be just as much so in a small rural community as in the big city if you approach it the right way. After all, rural folks deserve to be served by quality, insightful journalism as much as the city slickers do. When I came to Ontario in late 1995 to try to reflect the going-on in the Arnprior-Renfrew area, I already had 20 years of being paid to be snoopy under my belt. But I was unsure as what to expect in this neck of the woods. It couldn’t be as wacky

as the political intrigues that had kept me hopping as a journalist in my home province of British Columbia, I thought. That was the first of my three main misconceptions about life in the Upper Ottawa Valley. I figured covering politics and life in staid true blue Ontario would be rather tame. No craziness or wild swings here. The province was back to being run by the Tories as it almost always has; the Valley had voted Liberal federally forever. On the local scene, small municipalities were run by old boys networks as they had been for generations. What could change?

It wasn’t long before you Valley-ites set me straight. So much for my preconception that nothing controversial happens here. I was quickly enmeshed Musings in covering the endless from Mars protests against the Harris common sense revolution on one side and the backlash against the Liberals’ gun control and perceived anti-hunting bias on the other. In Arnprior and Braeside, reeves and mayors took turns playing foot-in-mouth, while in Renfrew the council was engaged in a civil war and McNab council was in a pitched battle with some of its residents over what to do with the abandoned CN rail line.

Success of Arnprior Terry Fox Run due efforts of many To the Editor: What a wonderful way to end the day for the 36th annual Terry Fox Run as $10,000 was raised on Sunday, Sept. 18 at the Arnprior Fairgrounds for cancer research in Canada. First and foremost the organizing committee would like to thank the faithful Terry Fox runners for attending this local run, and making it the success that it was, and keeping Terry Fox’s inspirational Marathon of Hope run alive and well in our great town. A big thank you to the Arnprior Agriculture Society for permitting the annual run to be on their property at no cost at all. Also a big thank you to Mayor David Reid for issuing the Mayor’s Challenge, to raise one dollar per resident in Arnprior; and the Town of Arnprior for proclaiming Sunday, Sept. 18 as Terry Fox Run Day. A huge thank you to John Leslie for attending and inspir-
ing the young participants to stay involved, and McNab Volunteer Fire Department who demonstrated you can have brawn and heart as we witnessed them run laps with their entire gear on; and Joe Zamojski of Kenwood Athletic Club who got runners warmed up with stretching exercises prior to the run. Thanks also to Brenda Budarick and Corrine Finn, Debra-Lee Stafford and Daryl Neadow for their time on registration day. Thank you to the “anonymous army” of volunteers who put together Ken Scissons infamous hamburg soup recipe for Run Day; it was superb. We also would like to acknowledge the Arnprior Lionettes for making their 36th annual visit and providing water to our Terry Fox runners; we appreciate Beth Deveau and Hannah O’Connell volunteered time. It was fantastic to see Rita Clouthier, who organized this
event for the first 31 years in attendance, never missing one Terry Fox Run. The foundation appreciates those who supported the run in other ways such as purchasing commemorative Terry Fox T-Shirts, but more inspiring it was to see those who wore Team Terry Fox T-Shirts and even those who created their own Terry Fox t-shirts at home and inscribed on it the names of loved ones they were representing on run day. Awesome job guys, this contributed to the success of the day. It was also great to see our friends from the dragonboat races in attendance. Seeing the increasing number of children participating yearafter-year makes it all worthwhile. One family commented their four-year-old son was determined to bike one full lap all by himself around the half mile track, and he succeeded in doing so. Another child wrote on the dedication poster, “it was
harder than I thought.” I believe these efforts shown on Sunday reflect Terry Fox’s values of determination, hope and courage are represented in the next generation of Terry Fox supporters. Our local walk/run has indeed evolved into a family fun day, and not a timed event (that could be attended at other events), which makes it possible for all ages to participate. Corporate sponsors we would like to thank include Tim Hortons for providing coffee for the participants; Val Stott for designing and delivering a delectable beautiful cake; Giant Tiger for its financial support; Lynn Grinstead for arranging public service announcements to promote the run on the local radio station; and local business owner Shelly Potter of Carlson Wagonlit Travel for being an anchor to the run and allowing all our Purolator packages be delivered to her business. Thank you to the editorial staff with Arnprior ChronicleGuide with their weekly plugs
for our local family day run. We hope we have not forgotten anyone, we certainly did not mean to, but
we are looking forward to seeing everyone next year. Stephen Dodd Terry Fox Run organizer

Learning to appreciate the Valley’s quirky pursuits Continued from page 8
Then the province ordered municipalities to find dance partners for amalgamations and all hell broke out. It was an intriguing time to be covering all the shenanigans. And I thought B.C. politics had been crazy. The second misconception was to do with the Valley’s strange recreational pursuits. As a smart aleck transplant from B.C.’s coastal wilderness, I had trouble understanding why hunting and fishing was such a big deal when instead of seeking out grizzly bears or salmon, locals were hunting bambi and mudpout. And what the attraction was when the main festivals revolved around fiddle music, fisherfolks dragging half-dead fish from under the ice, horses pulling heavy weights around, farmers seeing who could plow the straightest and young bucks crashing beaters around a ring. It took a while for me to realize such activities are not only a key link to the area’s heritage and identity, they could actually be rather entertaining. I was even put on a tractor to plow a rather uneven furrow, but I never did screw up the courage to enter a demolition derby (although I’m sure I

would have been volunteered for the pit by more than one local politician). I learned it wasn’t smart to make fun of Valley traditions or suggest senior citizens should do something productive like weed their lawns or sweep their driveways instead of complaining about today’s youth (being invited to a seniors meeting where my photograph was prominently displayed with a dart lodged between my eyes was a bit disconcerting). So now senior citizenship has snuck up on me, what I am going to complain about? The third misconception was that Ontario, including the Ottawa Valley, was a flat, acid rain scarred landscape. How wrong I was. I decided that my first Canada Day in the Valley would be the perfect opportunity to check out the whole area, so I scurried about covering celebrations in Arnprior, Pakenham, Braeside, Glasgow Station, Calabogie, Renfrew, Admaston, Cobden, Foresters Falls and Shawville. While my boss nearly had a heart attack when I put in for mileage, it was a real eyeopener. I hadn’t realized how many scenic hills, rivers and lakes there are in this area. As a fan of back-roading and backwood-
MORE listings, photos, information at www.angelahavey.ca or www.facebook.com/angela.havey
sing, it didn’t take me long to realize how beautiful this area is. I particularly enjoy rambling through Gillies Grove or along the Macnamara trails, relaxing at Burnstown Beach, watching the sun set over White Lake, and ambling past the sunflower fields in McNab or along the majestic Ottawa River. As well, I also soon grew to admire the residents of my new home, finding them to be straight-shooters, although sometimes it was the messenger who was in their sights. I found they could be a truculent lot when they felt their rights were being threatened. But they made reporting much easier and enjoyable because of how welcoming they are. Even after competing with them for four years at the Renfrew News, the good folks at the Renfrew Mercury and Arnprior Chronicle-Guide cheerfully took me in. The same warm welcome was accorded me in West Carleton and Carleton Place-Almonte in my stints there. Yes, it’s time to go. But thank you for the memories. I hope you all enjoyed reading my stories and columns as much as I had crafting them. -30-

Feds protect some lighthouses, but stymie Sand Point upgrading John Carter John.carter@metroland.com
The federal government announced last week that it is protecting three more lighthouses by giving them heritage designation. However, the federal bureaucracy is not making it easy for local lighthouse enthusiasts to protect the lighthouse at Sand Point off River Road. In fact, a number of restrictions insisted on by federal ministries has a volunteer project to fix up the lighthouse on hold and local politicians completely frustrated. A volunteer group led by John Brady had proposed to upgrade and paint the lighthouse located on the dock that was once used by the Sand Point-Norway Bay ferry. The Sand Point Golf Club has promised to donate leftover paint for the project. However, the project to rescue the lighthouse, which is in danger of falling to pieces, has been stymied in a number of areas. The first issue involved liability insurance for the volunteers, which the federal government insisted was the responsibility of the municipality, even though it doesn’t own the lighthouse. Then there were restrictions on who could do the painting and what shade of paint should be used (the donated paint was the right colour,

A group of local volunteers is seeking to paint and fix up the Sand Point Lighthouse but so far he project has been thwarted by federal red tape. sort of, but not the right shade number, so was rejected). The government also put on limits as to when the work could be done, saying it had to be completed in a four-week period in the summer. McNab-Braeside council has been trying to help the volunteers get going on the project since July, noting it would be a timely one with Canada’s 150th birthday coming up next year. Mayor Tom Peckett expressed anger and frustration with the delays.
“They (feds) don’t want to spend five cents to fix it up. Yet when volunteers want to fix it for them at no cost to them, all they get is red tape and costs for the municipality.” “I thought white was white,” said Coun. Mark MacKenzie, commenting on the paint rejection. Council finally agreed to spend $150 to provide insurance for the volunteers when they go to work on the lighthouse. However, with the Aug. 6 deadline

to get the work done well past, the project appears stalled again. After listing to council members’ obvious frustration, McNab-Braeside resident Martin Wright echoed their concerns. “I find it so frustrating that when volunteers try to do something in McNab, they so often get cut down by red tape,” he said. Meanwhile, last week’s announcement brings to 90 the number of lighthouses in eight provinces now protected under the Heritage Light-
house Protection Act, with more promised. The three latest lighthouses given protected are in the Maritimes, but in July the Port Stanley lighthouse in Ontario was given heritage status. Among the 90 heritage lighthouses, 42 are to be managed by the federal government and 48 by new, non-federal owners. Many community-based organizations and other levels of government are currently working with Fisheries and Oceans Canada to take over responsibility for the care and protection of many more lighthouses that are important to their communities, says the federal government news release announcing the heritage status. “Canada’s heritage lighthouses are iconic symbols of our communities and have played a crucial role in keeping mariners safe,” said federal Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna, who is responsible for Parks Canada. “They are also important tourism attractions that contribute to local economies. Our government is committed to protecting these cultural treasures and I encourage all Canadians to take the opportunity to learn more about our rich and diverse history, including our rich maritime traditions.”

‘Moths at large’ topic for Macnamara naturalists Oct. 4 meeting in Arnprior Karen Runtz
When it comes to moths, the up-close truth can be stranger than science fiction. Take the rather plain-at-firstglance Walnut Sphinx moth that Jim des Rivières collected at Crosby, Ontario - a specimen in his ‘Faces that only a moth-er could love’ gallery. Viewing a close-up of the moth, one can imagine the terror of confronting a 10-foot version of the nocturnal hairy winged six-legged creature with its bulbous eyes, feathered antennae and ready proboscis in the dark. Yet in reality, its wingspan is a mere two inches.
The fine details of such creatures are hidden from most of us. But des Rivières, an Ottawabased photographer and fine art printer, produces large format images allowing viewers to see moths and butterflies without need of a magnifying glass. For several years he has been photographing local moths and butterflies, but mainly moths. Working with dried specimens, he captures high resolution digital images directly with a desktop flatbed scanner, from which he makes large prints using an inkjet printer. The large prints allow the viewer to see the creature close up without need of a magnify-
ing glass. This reveals a marvellous world of intricate shapes, structures and colours that surprise and delight viewers of all ages. And young and old alike will have the chance to visit des Rivères’ special world when he “shows and tellsâ€? at the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 4. Des Rivères is best known for his exhibit of 45 large format moth images first shown at Ottawa’s Canadian Museum of Nature in 2010 and currently touring nature museums in cities across Canada and the U.S., including New York City, Edmonton and Saint John.
In this presentation he will run through the stages involved in producing these works of art on paper, and showcase some of his favourite local moths.

Not only squirrels go nuts over acorns Every Tuesday I lead an early morning bird walk at Carleton University for interested students. Carleton is ideally situated for such outings because the Rideau River runs alongside it, and within short walking distance reside Brewer Park and the Arboretum, both excellent places for seeing birds. We start by scanning the Rideau River for ducks, herons and gulls. On this past week’s outing, we didn’t have to look at the water to find ducks. We came across a dozen Mallards and a couple of Wood Ducks under a large oak tree near the river. The birds were busily picking up acorns from the ground with their bills. The acorns were there courtesy of Gray Squirrels that were up high in the tree harvesting them. Some acorns would get knocked down because of their efforts, but others were deliberately sent on a downward journey. If a cluster of acorns hung from the tip of a thin branch, a squirrel would nip off that branch and let it fall to the ground. Later it would scuttle down the tree, retrieve its prize, and scamper off to cache it. That is if the ducks hadn’t beaten it to it. You might be surprised to learn that some ducks eat acorns. In fact, Wood Ducks regularly eat them, even landing in oak trees to access them. Mallards, however, prefer to stay on the ground. As you know, acorns are hard objects, and to access the seed hidden inside the tough outer shell an animal requires specialized equipment. Squirrels possess powerful, sharp incisors that do the job quite nicely. But Mallards and Wood Ducks, like all birds, don’t have teeth, and their bills are adapted for filtering organic matter from water, not for crushing or slicing. So how then do they deal with an acorn’s armour? Instead of breaking open acorns with their bills, they use a powerful gristmill that
resides inside their body. The gizzard is a muscular stomach lined with tough cuticle that bears sharp projections not unlike those found on a cheese grater. When activated, the gizzard contracts and pulsates, pulverizing whatever objects reside inside it. Ducks were not the only animals exploiting the efforts of squirrels. Eastern Chipmunks were seen running off with fallen acorns. And to my complete surprise we watched a Groundhog scamper towards the tree, put its head to the MICHAEL RUNTZ ground, and come up with an This female Mallard was devouring acorns dropped to acorn clenched in its mouth. It then sat up on its haunches the ground by squirrels. and began nibbling it! I‘d never seen a Groundhog eat acorns, but when I checked the literature to see if they were a known dietary item, I found that they were. And that makes sense, for acorns contain a lot of fat, and Groundhogs need to fatten up before their winter hibernation. Nature is full of surprising interactions. Groundhogs and ducks exploiting the efforts of hard-working squir- Groundhogs also eat acorns they find on the ground. rels is certainly one!

Jobs, taxes, hydro prices on people’s minds: MP Gallant Jobs, taxes and hydro prices are on the minds of constituents, says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, after holding a constituency clinic in Arnprior. The Arnprior session was one of several she held this summer around the riding while Parliament was not sitting. “It was great to meet with constituents from Arnprior and McNab-Braeside, hearing their concerns on a variety of federal issues,” said Gallant. “The rising deficit and what that will mean for future big tax increases has families wor-

Locally, there is a concern the bias against rural and small communities will mean no new infrastructure dollars for Arnprior.” The six clinics not only provide people in the less central areas of the riding with a chance to meet and talk to their MP, but also provides them with assistance for passport applications, Old Age Security, Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance claims and concerns, the MP noted. “I would like to extend thanks to the municipal councils and staff for allowing the space to assist our mutual constituents.”

Mobile office overturns in Arnprior
A mobile office flipped on its side Sept. 20 at about 4 p.m. in Arnprior. There were no injuries. The hauler was rounding the eastbound on-ramp from White Lake Road to Highway 417 when the four-wheeled office crashed, causing significant damage to trailer and pavement. A metal rod is broken from on the front right side. OPP and Ministry of Transportation officials said there is not enough evidence to lay charges. Traffic was prevented from entering the ramp for at least two hours. ADVERTORIAL
Look Beyond Boutique masks illness with elegance To say Linda Morin is a ‘survivor’ is merely scratching the surface. Survival was just her beginning. In a matter of three years, she eclipsed life-threatening illness and recovery, only to become a stronger, more defined and self-directed woman. The transition led to her open the Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique at 2039 Robertson Road in Bells Corners. As much as the store caters to women who are undergoing treatment and the aftermath of a battle with cancer, it’s also a place of refuge and support, learning and understanding. A place where cancer combatants can gather strength from kindred spirit. A place where the demon within doesn’t win. Superficially, Linda has survived the surgeon’s scalpel for breast cancer, ovarian cancer and related illnesses. All the time she was unknowingly preparing herself for a new life, one where she could share her experiences and knowledge gained with others following similar paths. “Through therapy and treatment, I found the courage to look beyond, to never give up on myself.” Today she stands proud and confident, a cancer survivor and mentor to those at any stage of the journey. Her welcoming and comforting shop is a place where disease is masked with wigs, make up and accessories that enhance the physique and create an inner peace with self esteem. Clients are invited to sample a wide variety of clothing designed to disguise illness with elegance and create an image previously lost in trauma and malady. Not only does Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique offer a wide range of clothing and accessory
options, Linda has made the store into a “wellness centre” with free lectures on healing available for anyone who can benefit from the information being shared. In the month ahead, Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique will host seminars on fighting cancer, dealing with menopause, pelvic exercises, yoga and more. “It’s all about learning to love the most amazing person of all—you!” emphasizes Linda. All classes are free of charge and take place before or after regular store hours. In October, Linda is planning a “feel good” day where participants will receive a makeover, consultation and advice on various cancer-related challenges. The event will culminate with a “cancer survivor” fashion show, for which Linda is currently seeking models. In addition to operating the Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique, Linda Morin is a celebrated author, the first to reveal her body and the story of her road to recovery to the general public following her double mastectomy. “I knew in my heart that it was something I had to do for all women who have suffered physical and emotional pain from the consequences of cancer.” Her book ‘The Courage to Look Beyond” has become an international bestseller, offering guidance and support to countless people on similar journeys. “It’s almost unbelievable to think that a tragic illness changed my life for the better, but I am proud and happy to say it’s true.” To learn more, call Linda at 613-4224331 or online at lookbeyond.ca. Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique is open Mon-Fri 10 am to 6 pm and Saturday 10 am to 2 pm.

Residential natural gas prices on the rise effective Oct. 1 Staff
Expect your natural gas bill to rise next month and not just because colder weather is on the way. Two area natural gas distribution companies have has received approval from the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for new rates effective this Saturday, Oct. 1. Both Enbridge Gas and Union Gas have announced in news releases last week that their rates will go up three and 4.5 per cent. Enbridge reports that its typical residential customers will see a total bill increase of about three per cent, or $25 a year. As a result, the average total bill will be about $823 a year, the company says. Enbridge puts the blame on the increase on higher forecasted natural gas commodity prices in North America. However, this increase is partially offset by a ‘cost adjustment’ refund, which reflects the difference between forecast costs and actual costs from
the past 12 months. The OEB also previously approved a ‘rate adjustment’ charge for the difference between the amount customers paid for volumes consumed in 2015 and the actual costs incurred. For typical residential customers, this will result in a total charge of about $21, which will be billed in two installments of about $10.50 on October and November bills, says Enbridge. “Natural gas continues to provide great value to our customers, with the typical customer’s total annual bill now $390 less than it was 10 years ago,” maintains Enbridge energy supply director Jamie LeBlanc. “Natural gas remains the most economical choice for home and water heating in Ontario,” claimed LeBlanc. “Over the past five years, natural gas has been on average over 65 per cent less expensive than electricity and oil.” Enbridge submits rate adjustment applications every three months to

The approved rate change largely reflects fluctuations in the market prices Union Gas expects to pay for natural gas supplies for the next year. Adjustments are made quarterly (Jan. 1, April 1, July 1, Oct. 1), to either collect or refund the difference so that customers pay the actual cost for these items. “Customers who heat their home and water with natural gas save $1,600 to $2,000 every year for the average home compared to using electricity, oil or propane,” claimed Union Gas vice-president Mark Isherwood. “Choosing affordable and reliable natural gas makes good sense.” Union Gas notes its customers can realize savings by improving the energy efficiency of their homes.

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATIONS 2016 Health team, food bank to offer free cooking class Is it possible to make a healthy, hearty family meal from a box of macaroni and cheese? Can it be done for less than $2 per serving? With a little creativity, the registered dietitian at the Arnprior and District Family Health Team (ADFHT) can show you how. The health team and the Arnprior District Food Bank are teaming up to offer two ‘Budget Bites’ cooking classes in Arnprior on Monday, Oct. 3. The classes, to be held at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., will provide advice on how food bank supplies can be both healthy and tasty. HEALTHY EATING
Recognizing the need to help residents meet their healthy eating goals without breaking the bank, the ADFHT is piloting the new cooking class that teaches simple, nutritious, and, most importantly, flavourful recipes that are easy on the wallet for those on a limited income. Not only are the meals presented budget-friendly (cost-per-serving is as low
as 80 cents per serving), but many of the main ingredients are staples that can be obtained from the local food bank. According to staff at the Arnprior District Food Bank, items such as beans or dried lentils are often overlooked simply because residents are unsure of how to prepare them. To address this barrier, this fun class aims to inspire participants to be creative with their food while also teaching simple cooking skills that can be put into practice right away.
Enercare launches ‘fresh start’
Enercare has launched a Fresh Start Program designed to help families transitioning between temporary shelters and a home of their own. One of the company’s key objectives with the program is to give back to the communities where it operates by partnering with local organizations to help disadvantaged families living in a shelter due to unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances. The Enercare Fresh Start Program helps families get back on their feet by providing simple necessities, small luxuries and professional home tips essential to starting a new beginning in a new home. For more information on the program, visit www.enercare.ca/freshstart.
FREE CLASS
This is class is open to all. Interested residents can sign up for this free class, to be led by registered dietitian Kristy Webb, by calling the Arnprior Family Health Team at 613-622-5763. Samples of all recipes will be provided. This month’s recipes are Tex Mex Burrito Bowls (80 cents a serving), Cheesy Chili Marcaroni ($1.57) and Curried Red Lentil and Pumpkin Soup ($1.63). Space is limited; sign up early to secure your spot.
SUBMITTED
Cheesy Chili Marcaroni is one of the inexpensive healthy recipes that will be featured in the free cooking class on Oct. 3.

A Canadian non-profit founded in 1964, L’Arche is committed to helping create an open, inclusive and compassionate Canadian society where every person is valued and can make a contribution.

L’Arche Ottawa community joins L’Arche Arnprior for annual walk Henrietta Kelemne L’Arche Ottawa
L’Arche Ottawa is fortunate to be a short drive away from L’Arche Agape in Gatineau and L’Arche Arnprior. The group has enjoyed events with both communities and hope to share many more. On Aug. 27, Arnprior L’Arche held its ninth annual Walk/Roll/Run event.
For three years, L’Arche Ottawa has welcomed the chance to support its sister community and to reconnect with friends. On event day, Henrietta, Nora, Michele, Heather, Pierre, Paul, Martin, and Louise headed down the 417 to Arnprior. Weather was perfect for the 2.5-km walk through charming Arnprior streets and for enjoying idyllic Robert Simpson Park. Food was yummy.

Arnprior couple Charles Glandon and Jenn Nolet-Masse, along with their infant son Hunter, were the first people in line for the official opening. The family settled themselves in Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. “We didn’t try to be first,” said Glandon, but they were pretty happy to find themselves front-of-line. More than 100 people camped out in the parking lot to ensure they were among the first 250 customers to receive a gift card. Taylor Wright – Cabela’s ambassador and host of hunting show The Canadian Tradition – shot an arrow from a bow to cut the ribbon and officially open the store. Founder Mary Cabela greeted customers as they entered the building.

Members of the Ottawa Rowing Club get ready to get into their sleek craft before the start of the rowing regatta at scenic Burnstown Beach on Sunday, Sept. 11.
Local regatta attracts 100 rowers to Burnstown Beach Members of seven rowing clubs gathered at scenic Burnstown Beach Sept. 11 for a day of racing. Close to 100 rowers from all over Eastern Ontario, including those from the host club, competed in the annual Head of the Madawaska regatta. There were even two rowers on hand from Australia and England. Hosted by the Burnstown Rowing Club, the regatta on the beautiful Madawaska River featured a 4.5-km and two 3-km head-to-head races, as well as a fun sprint competition. Rowers took part in singles, doubles, fours and eights races. Among the winners was the Burnstown club’s Mark Robson, who along with Bill Stevens organized the regatta. He captained his team to victory in the doubles competi-
tion in both the 4.5-km and second 3-km race, edging out Ottawa Rowing Club entries. Former Ottawa Rowing Club member, Mark Chapman, who now lives in Sydney, Australia, won the singles 4.5-km race, finishing just over a minute ahead of Burnstown Rowing Club’s Leo Hall. Burnstown’s Kim Krahn was fifth. The Ottawa Rowing Club did win seven of the contests. In the 4.5-km races, Julia Faurnier’s fours won by over four minutes, while David McDonald’s group won the eights race by only 17 seconds over the Outdoor Adventure (Upper Ottawa Valley Rowing) team from Beachburg. Outdoor Adventure’s only win came in the first race’s singles competition. The Giuseppe Lund-led team
representing England’s Lakeland Rowing Club won the doubles, while the Ottawa Rowing Club’s Sukstorf team took the quad and cox fours. The Ottawa Rowing Club’s Hammell team were the only team in the eights contest. In race three, Lund of the Lakeland club won the singles, while Ottawa Rowing Club teams won both fours and the eights competitions. Lund is a former Burnstown Rowing Club member who now rows with the Lakeland club of the United Kingdom. Also participating were members from the St. Lawrence, Ottawa New Edinborough and Upper Ottawa rowing clubs. “It was just a great day of rowing,” said Stevens.

Packers win fifth straight by blanking Rideaus John Carter
John.carter@metroland.com
*Metroland distribution area. Source: BrandSpark International Survey 2016. Story credit: simcoe.com
Some wins come easier than others. That was the case for the Arnprior Packers last week. Buoyed by a thrilling comefrom-behind overtime win over one of the Central Canada Tier II Hockey League’s top teams last Thursday, the Packers rolled to a 6-0 victory over Westport Rideaus Sunday at the Nick Smith Centre. The Packers scored with 39 seconds left to tie the Ottawa West Golden Knights 4-4 at the Barbara Ann Scott Arena Sept. 22. The Packers then pulled out the 5-4 win when Bailey Hein scored an unassisted goal 1:06 into overtime. The win came despite the Packers being outshot 50 to 32. Tom Meyerhans made 46 stops in the Arnprior net. Goalie Anthony Salahor had an easier time Sunday, stopping 21 shots in picking up the shutout in his second game for the Packers. The five straight wins have boosted Tony Iob-coached
Arnprior into first place in the Richardson Division with a 7-2 record, although Perth (51), a 5-0 winner over Renfrew last Friday, has three games in hand. Former Perth Blue Wing Matthew Labrosse again led the Packers with three goals and six points in the two games. He is leading the league in scoring with 12 goals and 7 assists, four points ahead of Hein (7-8-15). In the see-saw game against Ottawa West, who are tied for the lead in the Martin division, Arnprior jumped to a 2-0 first-period lead on secondperiod goals by Larbrosse and Caparelli. After Matt Connolley put the Golden Knights on the board 34 seconds into the third period, Labrosse restored Arnprior’s two-goal lead less than two minutes later. However, Ottawa West erupted for three straight goals, including two more by Connolly, for a 4-3 lead. Cue the last-minute heroics. Labrosse and captain Daniel Monk, with his third assist of the night, set up Tyler Ollson
with his fourth goal of the season at 19:21 to send the game into overtime where Hein was the hero. At home Sunday against Westport, Arnprior took control with three goals in less than three minutes late in the first period. Labrosse, Monk and Joe Vaughan were the goal-scorers. After a scoreless second stanza, Arnprior extended its lead to 4-0 early in the third when Jack Rouleau set up Lucas Brown for a shorthanded marker. Hein and Vaughan, with his second of the game, scored late to make the final 6-0. PACKER POINTS
Arnprior has four of the top 10 scorers in the league. Labrosse and Hein are 1-2, while Brad Richardson and Monk are 7th and 10th with 12 points each. Monk has his 12 points in just six contests and has four straight multi-point games. Arnprior’s next opponents, the Richmond Royals (formerly Stittsville), have come back to earth after three straight wins, including a 7-4 victory
over Arnprior, to start the season. The Royals lost 7-1 to Westport last Friday and 8-6 to Clarence Sunday. There is a log-jam for second place behind the Packers in the Richardson Division. Four points back are Perth, Athens, Prescott and Westport, with Brockville in sixth with eight points, Richmond at six and Renfrew with two. In the Martin division, defending champions Casselman Vikings remain the league’s only undefeated team at 5-0, so the Packers-Vikings tilt this Sunday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. should be a barn-burner Before that game, the Packers had a home game against Richmond Wednesday and travel to Prescott for a 7:30 p.m. game Saturday. The league schedule has been rather uneven so far, with teams playing anywhere from five to 10 games. After hosting Casselman, the Packers go on a three-game road trip before finally coming home game on Friday, Oct. 21 for the start of a challenging home-and-home series with Perth.

For a small club, Galetta lawn bowlers excel L.M. Marbles
Galetta Lawn Bowling Club
The Galetta Lawn Bowling Club had a busy day to wind up the official season last week. A large number of members, who come from West Carleton and Arnprior and area, enjoyed several hours of bowling before a 5 p.m. pot-luck. Following the meal, the fall general wind-up meeting was held with Rob Jennings in the chair. Reports were given by secretary Marilyn Nixon, treasurer Sandra Fletcher, greenskeeper Dave Jeffries, kitchen convener Elaine Patterson, membership Sandra Jeffries, vice-president Flo Sylvestro and others. Jenny Bennett, tournament chairperson, announced the winners of the Galetta in-house tournaments and gave out the prize envelopes (money). There are trophies for some of the events and winners get their names engraved on the plaques each year. It has been a great year for Galetta bowlers in the district of 11 clubs. In the MacHardy mixed pairs, Russell and Karen Oatmen won first with John and Ria Wilson second. Flo and
Rico Silvestro and Sandra and Dave Jeffries took the honours in the Sadler Mixed Pairs, winning three games. A fun game of Super Sixes was won by John and Ria Wilson. First place in the Sadler Mixed triples went to Bill Sheffield, Patricia Garvin and David Goff. Second-place winners were Sandra Jeffries, Pat Rose and Paul Pacella. These events were all attended by other clubs so the showing was good. The club also had entries in provincial ladies pairs, ladies triples, senior triples, mixed doubles and singles. Bowlers also competed in the Governor General’s Cup, which Quebec won this year. Grant Fletcher and Amanda Thompson won the club marathon. This is not a bad showing for a small club. Besides the competitors, there are a number of people who play regularly up to four times a week. It’s a good way to be active and socialize. And these are the backbone SUBMITTED of lawn bowling anywhere. Russell and Karen Oatman won fi rst place in the MacHardy Now that the season is over, the greens people “put the pairs at the Galetta Lawn Bowling Club. The Arnprior residents are very active in the club. greens to bed” for the winter.

Spirit week big success at ADHS Marley Blok
ADHS student council minister of public relations
Sept. 12-16 was spirit week at Arnprior District High School. Monday was Valley Day where there was a hay bale toss in the parking lot. Tuesday was Tandem Tuesday where we had lip sync battle in the cafeteria. Wednesday was Work Time Wednesday and there was a game of work place tug of war battle in the gym, Thursday was Throwback Thursday where we hosted a fashion show and Friday was red and white day. Our halls were filled with red and white as many students showed their school spirit. Spirit week was very suc-
cessful and many students participated. On Friday we had a pep rally followed by our traditional pigskin parade. After the parade all the students went to the football field to support Arnprior against Mackenzie. Arnprior played a hard game but came out defeated with a score of 17-7 for Mackenzie. That night we had a red and white day dance from 7:30-10:30. It was also very successful. We thank Antrim Contracting and McEwan Homes for generously donating floats for our pigskin parade. These events were put on by ADHS student council, which is made up of 28 members who are student leaders at the school.
JOHN CARTER/METROLAND
An ADHS ball-carrier is stymied at the goal-line by a Mackenzie tackler in the turning point of the Redmen’s senior football season opener. Instead of going up 7-3, the Redmen gave up an interception on the next play, which led to a crucial Mackenzie touchdown in the Mustangs 17-7 win. Left, the ADHS pigskin parade winds its way based the old post office as it avoids the downtown revitalization construction.

The student becomes the principal at Arnprior high school Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
When word spread that principal Neil Farmer was leaving Arnprior District High School there was concern in some circles that his replacement wouldn’t have the same connection to the community. That Farmer has deep roots in town, grew up here, even has a hand in a local business, meant the next principal would have a bit of adjusting to fill his shoes. On the point of local connection, Tom Havey fills those shoes comfortably enough, even if he admits to lagging behind his predecessor in other areas. “I grew up here on a farm in Glasgow,” Havey said in his office at the beginning of the school year. “Yep - Havey Street is from our family. Actually, a series of streets in that area (near the Daniel Street hill) are named after the Haveys: Thomas, James, Michael, Robert; the original Havey Farm from 1834, back when it was McNab Township, is there.” Havey also attended ADHS, just as his father and grandfather before him. He attended a few different primary schools in the area, and his mom taught at Walter Zadow Public School for 30 years. A strapping country lad whose friends pestered him to play football, Havey as a high school student didn’t gravitate to one particular area. He had friends who played sports, others excelled at academics, and still
others were into the arts. He played guitar and sang a little, enjoyed 4-H, but never considered following in his mother’s footsteps. He was a shy kid not up for the certain level of performance expected in the profession. “Then there was the stress and workload and marking at night,” he sighed. Havey didn’t really acquire a passion until a sociology class in his final year. “I did 40 hours of community service; I coached a softball team of 11and 12-year-olds,” he said. “I loved it. The kids were fun to work with.” After high school he took three years off academics; worked at Banff Springs Hotel, bar-tended in North Bay where he also volunteered at L’Arche (a service organization focused on disabled individuals). Then he was ready for university. Having gone out west, he opted for down east and St. Thomas University in Fredericton. “Math was not my strong suit. I went into the arts with an interest in education or gerontology,” he said. “I really enjoyed my time there.” He almost opted for law school after that, but posed the all-important question to himself: “What’s going to inspire you? There was no part of it where I found inspiration.” However, tutoring kids from Serbia? He surprised himself with how much he enjoyed it. So off he went
issues. Then, during school parade day in the fall of 2003, standing with his good friend and current principal of Walter Zadow, Peter Burnette, ADHS principal Lauren Wilson said, apropos of nothing at all: ‘You two should be administrators.’ “Peter was interested, but I was still getting my DEREK DUNN/METROLAND head on straight.” Tom Havey sits behind the principal’s desk at his Few things will old high school.

He even has a daughter starting Grade 1 in Arnprior this year, ensuring the Havey bloodline continues. He is married to Ruth Jones, a librarian at Arnprior Public Library. The family lives in Sandy Hook. Havey said he has a good working relationship with the teachers’ union, maintains an objective position when it comes to conflicts, and is confident in his abilities to allocate school budgets. “I also want parents to feel free to contact me if they feel their child isn’t learning,” he said. As for comparisons with the highly-popular Farmer, who is now in his former position as principal at Opeongo, he chuckles and says, “Neil has incredible people skills. I’m not Neil Farmer. “I know how I am and I’ll do my best.” However, he does have a similar sense of humour. “There are no more short jokes. We can go straight to the bald jokes.” So, to students and staff: stature humour is in short supply from now on; comb through your hair jokes instead!

Fired up over a softball game
KIM MORROW/SUBMITTED
The members of the Arnprior Special Olympics and McNab-Braeside fire department softball teams are in high spirits after their game on Aug. 10. Special Olympics challenged the firefighters to the game “and creamed us 30-7,” reports fire chief Dave Hartwick. Both teams “had a blast,” he said, noting the firefighters are already planning strategy for next year’s contest. Special Olympics issued a thank you to the fire department for coming out to play. “Everyone had a great time and we look forward to playing you again,” they said.
Host clarifies comments The Arnprior Special Olympics Softball team would like the thank the McNab/ Braeside Fire Department for coming out on August 10th to play some softball with our team. Everyone had a great time and we look forward to playing you again.
The Arnprior and District Breast Cancer Support Group isn’t actively seeking a new host for its fall dinner. However, if another local organization wants to hold a fall dinner, it is welcome to go ahead, says longtime organizer Elta Watt.
The support group has discontinued the popular October dinner after 18 years, but instead is holding a 20-year anniversary celebration from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12 at the Nick Smith Centre as a gesture of thanks to its many community supporters.

After more than 30 years entertaining audience around Ontario, Razor will rock Arnprior this Saturday, Oct. 1.
Thrash metal band Razor to play Arnprior on Saturday Veteran Canadian thrash metal band Razor is coming to Arnprior this Saturday, Oct. 1 for a gig. Formed in Guelph in 1984, Razor took the metal world by storm with classic thrash albums like ‘Evil Invaders’ and ‘Violent Restitution’. The band has toured throughout the world and has shared the stage with such acts like Slayer, Motorhead, and Venom. With more than 30 years of performing, Razor has managed to stay true to its roots and deliver “amazing” metal music with their live shows. The current line-up of the band is
a “sheer force to be reckoned with,” say critics. The John Street Pub is proud to present Razor with two special guests at a 9 p.m. concert Saturday. Joining the thrash metal legends in Arnprior are Toronto’s Cauldron, who are playing with an arsenal of new songs under their belt from their latest album ‘In Ruin’, and Ottawa’s Dark Ministry, a heavy-hitting newer band featuring Rik Charon, the former drummer of the well-known band Exciter. Advance tickets cost $32 and can be bought in person at Steve and Denni’s Restaurant or online at eventbrite.ca.

Susan Hortop May 9, 1956 – October 3, 2006 In loving memory of a precious mother, daughter, sister and aunt. You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back. Or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty, Because you can’t see her, Or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone, Or you can cherish her memory And let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, Be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what she’d want; Smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Her love and strength and courage continue to inspire us. Love always and forever, Jennilea, Kayleigh, Ian, Don Dick Hartley, Diane, Glenn, Heather, Anne-Marie, Katie, Paul Dick
In loving memory of a dear Brother, Uncle and God Father, who passed away September 30th, 2006. Time slips by and life goes on, But from our hearts you are never gone. We think about you always, And talk about you too; We have so many memories, But we wish we still had you. Forever loved and missed, Brother, Sisters, nieces and nephews. Th R

Inaugural Camp Glissando for adults a big success Spurred by hearing adults say it was too bad there wasn’t a summer camp for adults sponsored by the Ottawa Valley Music Festival (there is one for youth), Vicki Luhta of Arnprior decided to give one a try. It was held at Glad Tidings Church in Arnprior from Aug. 22 to 26. It was a week of fun and music directed by Vicki and Molly Luhta, both professional musicians and educators. The camp was focused around choral singing but also TO ADVERTISE! included many other educational and fun music activities in a relaxed, positive and supportive environment. Participants came from all over the Valley from Ottawa to Deep River and for a variety of reasons. Some liked to sing but had no previous background. Some had been away from Share your special moments music for a long time and wanted to get back to it. One wanted to join a choir and needed more experiwith your ence. Some came to get their voices warmed up for the coming season of choral groups and choirs. friends and Some just thought it would be fun to give singing a try. our readers Camp ran from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day and was the perfect balance of singing, theory, games and with an announcement fun. There was an overview of music history; an introduction to opera; discussions on vocal health, rhythm exerin Social Notes. cises and games; and even a mini-session on conducting. Preparation of the six pieces to later be sung in a miniconcert began on the first day. Chorally, participants were

lead through sculpting vowels, consonants, breathing, posture, dynamics and blending. A variety of reed and string instruments were brought in for participants to try. If someone found they really liked one, they were encouraged to take lessons. Private half-hour vocal lessons were also offered to participants who had signed up for this extra bonus. A special Friday lunch (included in the camp fee) was enjoyed at Krave Bistro, followed by a dress rehearsal in the afternoon. That evening a mini-concert was presented for family and friends. The group was accompanied by Elizabeth Brumm on piano. By special request, Molly sang a Puccini aria at the end of the concert – wow! A few quotes from the campers: “It was great to meet new people and spend a week devoted to music. What an indulgence!” “I learned something new and useful every day.” “What a great time! Thanks for the opportunity!” “What a great week – fun, challenge, learning, music!” “Vicki and Molly are both wonderfully and uniquely gifted which resulted in a diverse, rich program.” Organizers are looking forward to next year. “Kids aren’t the only ones who can have fun! Plan to join us for next summer.” Information will be available for both the kids and adult camps in the new year. Stay tuned.
A new chance to dance: join the Hy-liners this fall So there’s been some dancing in your past and you think there might be some in your future. Well, now is a great time to bring it all together in the present and get this going again (or perhaps for the first time) with linedancing. From mid-October to early December, all ages have a special invitation to linedance with The Hy-Liners. Enjoy a choice of sessions at Arnprior’s Nick Smith Centre (Mondays), Carp’s Huntley Community Association (Wednesdays), the Almonte Community Centre (Thursdays), and possibly in the areas of Kanata-Stittsville and White Lake. Instructor Hyacinth Chatterton is quick to point out that not only is linedancing “fun-to-do,” but it is also in the “good-for-you” category, providing a solid complement to everyone’s fitness routine, whatever that may be. Linedancing has an aerobic component, plus it offers weight-bearing movements, and stimulates the brain via the interesting patterning of memory-work involved, she adds. Chatterton also explains that the moves involved in the activity will range from simpler sequences at the beginner and novice levels, through to more challenging ones at the intermediate and advanced levels. And, at every level, there are options designed to bring the dance-routine within each participant’s personal comfort zone. Chatterton is a retired, bilingual educator who has been a resident of Arnprior for several years. During her years of formal classroom teaching, she often had linedance clubs for students at the elementary as well as high school levels. She recalls that her first school club consisted of 40 Grade 3 students (20 girls and 20 boys) at a Carleton Place school. Much to the delight of their parents, other guests and school-staff, the students performed at their school during Education Week in spring of that year. Since her retirement, Chatterton has continued to instruct students in this activity by volunteering at schools in Almonte, Arnprior, Pakenham and Renfrew. Members of her linedance group, The Hy-Liners, meet regularly for practice sessions, and together with Chatterton, they make sure they give back to communities in the area. For example, they have entertained at hospitals, seniors’ residences and special events in Almonte, Arnprior, Carleton Place and Carp, and have also participated in benefits in support of various causes, held at such local establishments as the St. John Chrysostom Church Hall, Grace-St. Andrew’s United Church, Galilee Retreat Centre, Christian Education Centre and Arnprior Legion. The Hy-Liners have also given teaching demonstrations\s for Galetta’s 4-H Club members and entertained at several celebrations organized by the towns of Mississippi
may be done in circles, squares and diamonds, as well as in contra formations. Where can you linedance in the Upper Ottawa Valley?\ Chatterton is pleased to note the healthy networking that continues to exist between the majority of instructors with whom she has become acquainted in Almonte, Carleton Place, Cornwall, Kanata, Nepean, Ottawa, Perth, Renfrew and Smiths Falls. When the Hy-Liners hold their now-established HYACINTH CHATTERTON/SUBMITTED local socials to mark the Among the many linedancing performances by the Hy-Liners last season was participa- closing of each term, dancers from many of these ar-
tion in the Celtic celebration at Grace-St. Andrew’s United last spring. From left are Yasemin Gumus, group leader Hyacinth Chatterton, Linda Michaud, Edileide Cathcart and Rosemary Drziak. Also entertaining were members of Sherry’s School of Highland Dance and EH Gospel Sound. Mills and Arnprior and Almonte District High School. Although linedancing built its roots in country music, it has expanded over subsequent decades to include many more genres of music, such as Bachata, Calypso, Celtic, Fox-Trot, Jazz, Jive, Mambo, Merengue,
Night-Club, Reggae, Samba, Tango, Two-Step, Waltzes, Western-Swing and others. In addition to the appeal offered by the variety of music used, there are other factors that attract would-be linedancers: • this activity is suitable for
both genders; • it welcomes participants of all age levels; • unlike some other danceformats, having a dance-partner is not a pre-requisite for participation; • the presentations are not confined to lines only - they

Pre-registration for this fall’s programs is strongly recommended. Contact Chatterton at 613-623-0976 or email mais-brown@sympatico.ca “to make linedancing a vibrant part of your present and future.”

Mother’s special powers were proven for Mary As she did every evening after the kitchen had been redded up, Mother was at the end of the kitchen table with her diaries and scrapbooks spread out before her. I was glad my sister Audrey decided she didn’t have time to spend with me going through the Eaton’s catalogue. It had just arrived in the mail and even though I could spend hours thumbing through the pages, that night I had other things on my mind. I looked around the kitchen. From where I sat at the other end of the table, I saw Father in the rocking chair as usual, with his feet up on a cushion on the oven door. The Ottawa Farm Journal was on his lap and I could see it wouldn’t be long before sleep would win out, and the paper would slip to the floor. And then his pipe would fall to his chest and the soft snoring would start. My sister Audrey was at the old treadle Singer sewing machine trying her best to make a blouse out of a cotton dress that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina. It was important that I place everyone in the kitchen that night, because I was out to prove what my friend Velma said was, in fact, true. She said mothers had this rare talent where they could see everything going on around them, without turning their heads or raising their eyes from whatever they were doing. I had long since ruled out that Mother had eyes in the back of her head like my brother Emerson swore up and down was a fact!
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
Having examined her head carefully on more than one occasion, I knew this was just another one of my brother’s crazy ideas. I was more inclined to believe my friend Velma, who was devoutly religious, a Lutheran, and said God had given mothers this special talent, so that they could keep everyone in line without as much as actually seeing them in action. That night, I was determined to see if Velma had her facts straight. My three brothers were playing Old Maid at the bake table and that meant trouble. I knew it wouldn’t take long before there would be a roaring-eyed fight, like there was just about every night. Earl said Emerson was cheating. Everett yelled, “Ya, cheating.” And then it happened right before my eyes! Mother didn’t look up from the diary she was working on and said to Emerson, “Put that card back in the deck, young man, or you’re off to bed.” She hadn’t as much as raised an eyebrow! And then she asked Audrey to get Father’s pipe off his chest because it was just about to burn a hole in his plaid shirt. And she didn’t even turn her head!
Tradyo Turns Your Clutter Into Cash. Chat
to have the purest of thoughts in my head. And I wondered if, when I grew up, I too would have the rare talent of knowing exactly what was going on around me without benefit of raising an eyebrow, just because I too, had become a mother. It was a lot to think about back then when I was six years old. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books? Go to https://www.smashwords.com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details, or if you would like a hard copy, please contact Mary at wick2@sympatico.ca.

Well, that tore it for me. I couldn’t wait to get to school the next day to tell Velma she was absolutely right. Mothers did have this talent for knowing what was going on without as much as raising an eyebrow. And they didn’t have eyes in the back of their heads either! And I started to wonder if just maybe Mother could tell what I was thinking too. That thought scared the daylights out of me and I made up my mind that whenever I was in the same room with her, I would try my utmost

Turkey, pumpkin pie and our pets Turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and don’t forget the pumpkin pie are just some of the favourites we all look forward to on Thanksgiving with family and friends. But what about our pets! Here are 12 safety tips to help keep your pets safe on Thanksgiving: 1. Begging at the Table: It would be best if you gave them their Thanksgiving treat in a bowl away from the table to avoid begging. Your guests would probably appreciate that. 2. Fatty Foods: Too many fatty, rich, or unfamiliar foods can give your pet pancreatitis or gastroenteritis; two medical conditions that can be very painful and even life-threatening. 3. Diet and Exercise: Maintain your pet’s regular meal and exercise schedule and avoid too many holiday leftovers. A disruption in his dietary routine can cause stomach upset, diarrhea and/or vomiting. 4. Bones: Make no bones about it. Certain bones can lacerate or obstruct your pet’s insides. Save the bones for the broth - not your dog. 5. Onions: Onions and onion powder, widely found in stuffing and used as a general seasoning, will destroy your dog or cat’s red blood cells, which can lead to anemia. 6. Grapes and Raisins: Grapes and raisins contain a toxin that can cause kidney damage to both dogs and cats. 7. Alcohol Poisoning: Alcohol poisoning in pets is more common than you think. This is because alcohol can be found in surprising number of places, such as rum-soaked fruit-
cakes or unbaked dough containing yeast, which can result in alcohol poisoning, other lifethreatening problems and death. 8. Chocolate: Chocolate can actually be fatal to your dog or cat; so all those sweets must be kept well out of reach. 9. Food Wrappings: Aluminum foil, wax paper and other food wrappings can cause intestinal obstruction. Make sure to place these items securely in the garbage. 10. Fresh Water: Make sure your pet always has fresh water. When there are more people in the house, there’s more chance to bump into the water bowl leaving your pet dry. 11. Garbage: Keep an eye on the garbage and keep it securely fastened. If your dog gets into it, he may think he’s hit the jackpot, but all he’ll be winning is health problems from something as simple as gastric disturbance, vomiting and diarrhea to the worst-case scenario - death. 12. Quiet Time: For those of you that would like some peace and quiet at the table, kennelling your cat or dog in an area of the home that is well lit and away from the excitement is an option. Give them something to chew on or play with and leave a television or radio on. This will help distract them. Have a great Thanksgiving and don’t forget to leave room for dessert.

Sushi has been missing for more than a year, but occasional sightings have her family optimistic she will be found. DIANE WINSOR/ SUBMITTED
Hunt for missing dog continues Hope springs eternal. Sushi has been missing from her Arnprior area home for more than a year, but the McNeill family remains optimistic that she will be found. On that note, family friend Diane Winsor has some encouraging news to pass on. On July 28, Sushi was once again sighted in the rural Braeside area not too far from where she went missing on July 11, 2015. Posters continue to be updated and family and Winsor is asking that they not be removed because the information on them is essential for when there is another sighting.
“Losing a pet is devastating and keeping up the momentum of the search is exhausting, both emotionally and physically,” she said. “However, we remain very confident that Sushi will be found.” Winsor notes here have been many dogs missing for years that have been reunited with their owners. Sushi could be one of those “happy endings,” she said. Anyone seeing the black, tan and white Sheltie is asked to not call her name or chase her as this will only frighten her. Instead you’re asked to call Connie McNeill immediately at 613-623-5360.

Richard Gill presents ‘Salon of the Masters’
A Salon of the Masters, a sequel to sculptor Richard Gill’s 2015 show The Masters as Muse, opens this Saturday, Oct. 1 with a vernissage from 2-8 p.m. at Bittersweet Gallery in Burnstown.
See our Featured Content INSIDE
Salon, from the French word salon (a living room or parlor), means a conversational gathering. Usually this is a select group of intellectuals, artists and politicians who meet under the roof of an inspiring host held in part to amuse one another, to refine their taste and increase one’s knowledge of current affairs and the arts. For his annual fall show, sculptor Richard Gill transforms his studio into a salon and invites us to a gathering to mingle among the masters’ intimate domain at Bittersweet Gallery in Burnstown. A Salon of the Masters is a sequel to his 2015 show The Masters as Muse. It opens this Saturday, Oct. 1 with a vernissage from 2-8 p.m. Gill will give a brief talk on the works at 3 and again at 7 p.m. The show continues daily 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to Oct. 10. Numerous women patrons of the arts have presided over salons in France and England since the 17th century. The American novelist and playwright Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was known

80 ELGIN ST. W. ARNPRIOR
for her salon at 27 rue de Fleurus in Paris, where Picasso, Matisse and other creative people would meet to discuss art, literature, politics and, no doubt, themselves. The term salon also refers to art exhibitions. The Paris Salon was originally an officially sanctioned exhibit of recent works of painting and sculpture by juried members of the Royal Academy of painting and sculpture. Many of these artists who were accepted into the salons of Paris have now found their way to a present day salon of sorts; gathered here by Gill. His conception of a “salon” of these masters in his own Burnstown studio brings to life what he has deeply researched and imagined as the creative realm of artists of renown who transformed the face of modern art. In Gill’s salon, Chagall, Gustav Klimt, Vermeer keep company with Matisse, Picasso, Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Dali, Turner, right along side along with Renoir, Michelangelo, Georgia O’Keeffe, and the outrageous and lesser known Egon Schiele and Tamara de Lempika. Andy Warhol is seen in his ‘Sliver Factory’ studio with Bob Dylan and who knew that he also painted Mick Jagger. With evocative imagery Gill has created over 50 works rendered by a marriage of sculpture that portrays each artist in scenes that include their paintings in miniature intricate ARNPRIOR detail; skillfully achieving the illusion of greater depth through his unique technique and understanding of sculpting in relief. Entering his 71th year this salon and sale marks Gill’s 44th annual revealing that he is indeed a present day master in his own right adept with a unique interpretation in the medium of sculpted clay in relief. Thus far he feels that this body of work his ARNPRIOR constitutes finest.

Growing Awareness to Save Lives OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH TAKE ACTION. FIGHT BREAST CANCER At the Canadian Cancer Society, the month of October is about more than just raising awareness of breast cancer; it’s about taking action to save lives. WHAT IS BREAST CANCER?
Breast cancer is a malignant tumour that starts in the cells of the breast. Malignant means that it can spread, or metastasize, to other parts of the body. Cells in the breast sometimes change and no longer grow or behave normally. These changes may lead to benign breast conditions such as atypical hyperplasia and cysts. They can also lead to benign tumours such as intraductal papillomas. Benign conditions and tumours are not cancerous. But in some cases, changes to breast cells can cause breast cancer. Most often, breast cancer starts in cells that line the ducts, which are the tubes that carry milk from the glands to the nipple. This type of breast cancer is called ductal carcinoma. Cancer can also start in the cells of the lobules, which are the groups of glands that make milk. This type of cancer is called lobular carcinoma. Both ductal carcinoma and lobular carcinoma can be in situ, which means that the cancer is still where it started and has not grown into surrounding tissues. They can also be invasive, which means they have grown into surrounding tissues. Less common types of breast cancer can also develop. These include inflammatory breast cancer, Paget disease of the nipple and triple negative and basal-like breast cancers. Rare types of breast cancer include non-Hodgkin lymphoma and sarcoma.
EARLY DETECTION IS KEY
Every person should know the symptoms and signs of breast cancer, and any time an abnormality is discovered, it should be investigated by a healthcare professional. Most people who have breast cancer symptoms and signs will initially notice only one or two, and the presence of these symptoms and signs do not automatically mean that you have breast cancer. By performing monthly breast self-exams, you
will be able to more easily identify any changes in your breast. Be sure to talk to your healthcare professional if you notice anything unusual.
KNOW YOUR BREASTS
All women should be aware of what is normal for their breasts even if they get regular screening tests. Many women find their own breast cancer by noticing changes in the look and feel of their breasts. Women can become familiar with their breast tissue by looking at and feeling their breasts. In the past, experts suggested that this be done in a certain way each month. Research has shown that this isn’t necessary. There really isn’t a right or wrong way for women to examine their breasts. They just need to know the whole area of their breast tissue well enough to notice changes. This includes the entire breast area up to the collarbone and under the armpits, as well as the nipples. Tell your doctor about any unusual changes to your breasts. Most breast changes are not cancer. It may be normal for your breasts to be lumpy or tender before your period.

BREAST SCREENING PROGRAMS
Screening means checking or testing for a disease in a group of people who don’t show any symptoms of the disease. Screening tests help find breast cancer before any symptoms develop. When breast cancer is found and treated early, the chances of successful treatment are better. Currently in Canada, screening for breast cancer is recommended for women of average risk between the ages of 50 and 69. Regular screening for breast cancer is recommended for this age group because about half of all new cases of breast cancer occur in women between 50 and 69 years of age. The most reliable way to find breast cancer early is screening mammography. Research has also shown that regular mammography can significantly lower the risk of women in this age group dying from breast cancer. Talk to your doctor about your personal risk of breast cancer and take advantage of screening tests or programs in your area.
