Schooled in spirit Students show the entire town of Arnprior what it means to love ADHS. The weather was perfect for the annual pigskin parade held last week. Dozens of students and staff dressed in their best red and white for the march through downtown streets, and they whooped and hollered as loud as any class in recent memory. Unfortunately, neither the senior nor junior football games took place this year. Visiting teams were forced to back out for too few players.

Town offers update on largest project Scott Campbell

There were engineers, consultants, planners and lawyers present for the regular council meeting on Monday. Mayor David Reid joked to hurry the proceedings along or it would be one expensive meeting. Joking aside, the reason those people took in council at the Galilee Retreat Centre was an update on the downtown revitalization project. “The project will be the largest, most visible investment Arnprior has made and possibly will ever make,” said John Steckly, civil engineering officer. There is a budgeted cost of $10.4 million for the two years of work. The town approved a bylaw for $2 million in funding from the Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation (OCIF.) It authorizes temporary and long-term borrowing for Phase I of the downtown work, but only if necessary. Arnprior is not locked into going down this road. Steckly also highlighted timelines from McGonigal Street is now estimated to be com-

Council has a discussion on the Official Plan following a public session back in June. Much of what was said about the plan was a rehash of the June meeting.

ties across the Valley and made national headlines. An extensive manhunt for the armed suspect began around 9 a.m. and ended with Borutski’s arrest around 2:30 p.m. near the Becks and Kinburn Side roads intersection in rural West Carleton. Police road blocks were stationed at various points throughout West Carleton to maintain a perimeter around Becks and Kinburn roads where the command post was located and Stonecrest Elementary School was put on lockdown. The Pembroke courthouse and several Upper Ottawa Valley schools were also put on lockdown during the manhunt. Renfrew’s Town Hall was also put on lockdown, as a precaution, and employees sent home for the day. It was thought that Borutski may have been trying to reach his brother Art Borutski’s house on Kinburn Side Road. Calls and messages to the residence for
comment were not answered. Just before 9 a.m. on Sept. 22, officers of the Killaloe detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to an incident on Szczipior Road in Wilno, Ont. about 131 kilometres west of West Carleton. Upon arrival officers found an adult female deceased. Information police received during the ongoing investigation led officers to a second location, a residence on Foymount Road, where a second adult female was located deceased. At approximately 11:10 a.m., Bancroft OPP officers responded to a residence on Kamaniskeg Lake Road, locating a third deceased adult female. OPP emergency response, tactics and rescue and aviation units, along with the assistance of Ottawa police, searched for the armed male suspect. Several locations between Wilno and Ottawa were secured as a precautionary measure. The accused, who has a history of violence and has spent time in jail, was known to the victims. He was arrested Tuesday afternoon in a wooded area at Becks and Kinburn Side roads in rural West Carleton without incident after a five-hour manhunt that involved the Ontario Provincial Police Emergency Response Team, Tactics and Rescue Unit and Aviation Services, with the assistance of the Ottawa Police Service.

The 57-year-old man who led police on an extensive manhunt through the Ottawa Valley before being arrested in West Carleton was charged with three counts of first degree murder on Sept. 23. Basil Borutski is charged in the deaths of three female victims: 36-year-old Anastasia Kuzyk of Wilno; Nathalie Warmerdam, 48, of Bonnechere Valley; and 66-year-old Carol Culleton of North Gower. Borutski made an appearance in a Pembroke, Ont. courtroom last Thursday to answer to the charges. The judge ordered him not to speak to a long list of family members and acquaintances, including relatives of the victims, according to The Canadian Press. Borutski was remanded into custody and will make his next appearance via video link Oct. 5. “Right now, my heart just goes out to the families ... all our brothers and sisters, our hearts go out to all the victims,” Borutski’s brother Will told The Canadian Press in an interview. “We’re all just in disbelief. Right now the only ones we’re thinking about is the victims. The children, the families, the friends.” News of the killings, which happened Sept. 22 in three different areas in and around the Wilno area, gripped communi-

Stefan Klietsch, Green Party candidate for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, condemned Conservative candidate Cheryl Gallant and Prime Minister Stephen Harper for continued evasiveness around the severely-criticized Canada-China Foreign Investment Protection Agreement (FIPA). In the Maclean’s and French consortium debates, Green Party leader Elizabeth May twice accused Harper of selling out Canadian sovereignty to Chinese state-companies owning assets in Canada, with Harper in both instances declining to deny the allegations, though he rolled his eyes at May in response in the French debate. “Mrs. Gallant and Mr. Harper have never publicly denied that Canadian tax dollars will be paid out to Chinese state companies under the FIPA, when the kangaroo tribunals setup under investor-state arbitration rule against Canada for justifiable democratic decisions,” Klietsch said. “Under Article 28 of the FIPA, almost any lawsuit documents can be kept secret at the Government of Canada’s choosing, allowing govern-
ments to secretly payout humiliating settlements with Chinese companies.” Under similar investorstate treaties, Ecuador was sentenced with a $2 billion compensation order for terminating a contract that the suing company had violated. Russia faces a $50 billion payment order to Yukos Oil Company. A sovereign country need not expropriate any assets to be punished by arbitrators, who are handsomely paid more tax dollars with each additional lawsuit and often have partial backgrounds as corporate lawyers. The FIPA also locks in Canada’s open rules towards Chinese investors, without granting Canadian investors market access to China or amending any of China’s existing discriminatory business laws. “The Conservatives know that the FIPA is too politically toxic to debate. That is why they shut down parliamentary debate, included provisions for lawsuit secrecy, and bound Canadians with the 31-year exit notice in Article 35.” The Green Party is alone among parties in promising
the following response: • pass legislation to require that any and all complaints from Beijing under the Canada-China FIPA, even early diplomatic complaints, be made public; • not cave if the People’s Republic of China’s state companies complain about a municipal by-law or proposed legislative change, such as reversing the damage to the Fisheries Act, Environmental Assessment or Navigable Waters Protection Act; • if we must, write a cheque for damages under FIPA, rather than cancel planned laws; • vigorously oppose the new FIPAs within the TransPacific Partnership (TPP) and the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA). “The citizens of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke have every right to be informed about government decisions that affect the well-being of Canada for a generation to come. Every day that the Conservatives continue to hide what is their longest-term project is further evidence that they know how deeply they have betrayed Canada.”

A Liberal government following the Oct. 19 election would invest in Canada’s Armed Forces, ensuring that they have the necessary equipment to keep Canadians safe, while also growing local economies and creating jobs, said Jeff Lehoux, Liberal candidate in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. “Over the last ten years, Stephen Harper has sent our military into a state of stagnation. The Conservative government allowed $10 billion in allocated funding for our military to lapse. On top of that, our procurement process is in shambles,” said Lehoux. “It’s time for a new plan that will grow local economies and make

The Liberals will also Implement the recommendations made in the Canadian Forces’ Report on Transformation so that the forces will be leaner, more agile, and better-equipped with “more teeth and less tail.” “The Liberals are committed to growing a strong and well-equipped military,” said Lehoux. “For too long Stephen Harper has failed to provide meaningful support for our troops. Our military has a long and proud history of exemplary contribution on the world stage, from combat missions, to peace operations, to disaster relief. A Liberal government will support our military, and right the wrongs after a decade of deceit and neglect from the Conservatives.”

On Sept. 18, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) announced phase three of work-to-rule in Ontario. Phase three began on Sept. 21. Phase two of ETFO work-to-rule is currently taking place in all public schools across Ontario. During phase two, elementary teachers did not: • plan, organize or participate in field trips • plan, organize or participate in fundraising activities • collect monies • attend open houses or ‘Meet the Teacer’ nights outside of the instructional day • participate in board professional development, other than mandatory first-aid training, Sabrina’s Law and WHMIS • collect or distribute to students any paperwork required by the school or school board. Phase two job action will continue during phase three of work-to-rule. As of Monday, Sept. 21, elementary teachers will also not: • fill in for an absent teacher or take on additional students during another teacher’s absence • update classroom websites/blogs, complete or distribute class newsletters • update Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) by the deadline. ETFO has directed teachers to make modifications for students and to complete IEPs at their own pace during the instructional day. • participate in any in-school meetings or professional learning activities on the next PA Day. Instead, they will use the time for their own self-directed activities within the classroom/school. • prepare report card comments, complete or package the Progress Report. ETFO has directed teachers to provide the principal/vice-principal with a hard copy class list with the ratings for the Learning Skills and Work Habits section, and the required subject area section completed for each child. Teachers of alternative programs will pro-
vide one brief comment per area. • conduct parent interviews related to the Progress Report unless the teacher or occasional teacher identifies a concern about a child’s progress • participate in extracurricular activities on Wednesdays.

Stop “puSSy-FootIng” aRounD!
part two
Feeling Sorry for others? Well, a few weeks ago I’ve been telling you a story about a legally blind lady who always “pussy-footed” around and felt sorry for herself until she grew a back-bone. Thats when her life transformed. Today, I’d like to share another view of how we often “pussy-foot” around. And this time it’s not because we are afraid, but it’s rather that we are so compassionate, sensitive and intuitive to other peoples feelings, that we actually don’t want to hurt THEM. So, we are starting to adjust our actions accordingly. We change the way we live our life, often actually quite unconsciously, but nevertheless we are becoming someone else around that particular person. We become temporare actors and we are actually all pretty good at it.This would be kind of ok if it is with someone we don’t see that often and we don’t care for or if we’d do it by choice. However, we very often do this actually with our loved ones, our partners, children, parents or somebody we have a very special bond with. Out of respect to the other person, we try to avoid anything ever possible not to upset their feelings or hurt them in any way….because after all…that is what we’ve been taught all along…always be nice, encourage them, build them up, persuade them…of course based on our own values and experiences. Now, as sweet as this initially seems to be, is it working? How does it make you feel if the other dismisses your advice? Pretty bad right? And how do you think it makes the other person feel? Actually often their “back” goes up or the total opposite, they are so vulnerable that any advice still is unable to make them change things.They may understand but still can’t take the required actions. In either case, we’ve created friction in our relationship and then we wonder why it’s over one day. Don’t let it come to this. Heilkunst is helping individuals being compassionate, respect their privacy and intimacy even within a relationship. A very good friend of mine used to tell me “It’s none of your business”. Honestly it drove me nuts intiailly but he is so right. We need to learn to understand the difference between “our own business, someone elses business and God’s business” as Byron Katie states. This is not only important for ourselves to be and stay healthy and not fret about something we have no power over changing, but also to encourage the other persons spiritual growth. Be Honest! Give Love! Give a Hug! Be a good Listener! Give advice if asked! But don’t superimpose! After a dear patient transformed her view, she now says: “It’s not my muck!” So, is it yours?

Peter Emon to run for warden position in Renfrew County Incumbent Peter Emon is putting his name forward for the position of Renfrew county warden during next year’s council term. Emon, the Town of Renfrew reeve, said he is excited to continue to represent the residents of the county and to continue to contribute to the community by serving as warden in 2016. The vote among the 17 members who make up county council is on Dec. 8. There will be a contest for the one-year term job. He faces Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, a veteran at county council who has led some of the more important committees. Emon, who is finishing his third term as warden, said he was ap-
proached by a number of councillors about returning to the warden’s chair and after thought and discussion has agreed to submit his ideas and name. Represent the County

“Leadership, ideas and offering calm advice are necessary components to serve as warden and the position also needs to offer staff clear direction about the direction the county will take in the short, medium and long term,” Emon said in a news release. “The warden of the day needs to represent all communities and reflect the ideas and enthusiasm of the people of Renfrew County.

Work on the plan has just started and will be complete in March 2016. This online survey is one of several community con-
partnering to initiate an exciting economic development strategy and it will be necessary to ensure it benefits us as it rolls out.” He will continue to speak of shared services with various and multiple municipal partners. It will be a necessary strategy to continue to afford the services in Renfrew County. Emon will also talk of attracting and retaining companies and investors in the County of Renfrew. “We will need to meet with existing businesses and speak to them about their needs and expectations and link them to solutions where they can be successful,” he said. Emon is looking forward to meeting people in the community to discuss the ideas which he feels will assist the County in moving forward and remaining a place people want to visit, invest and call home. “Council and our municipal partners will continue as they deliberate to think local, assess globally and act regionally.”

Municipal leaders form council to promote economic growth The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) and the Eastern Ontario Mayors’ Committee (EOMC) have launched a new Leadership Council to foster a collaborative rural-urban approach to achieving economic growth throughout the region. Launched last Friday at the Ontario East Municipal Conference, the two groups of elected leaders, along with the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) and the Ontario East Economic Development Commission (OEEDC), will form the Leadership Council. It will focus specifically on coordinating region-wide efforts to implement the Eastern Ontario Economic Development Strategy. A key recommendation of the strategy is to create a council to co-ordinate efforts across the region. It will be a platform for collaboration, sharing information, monitoring and reporting on regional economic performance, and advocating for regional interests. The Leadership Council will work with the many stakeholders involved in economic development, such as municipalities and First Nations, business groups, Community Futures Development Corporations, post-secondary institutions as well as the provincial and federal

governments. The Economic Development Strategy was a joint initiative of the Wardens’ Caucus and the Mayors’ Committee. It focuses on three main priorities for Eastern Ontario, related to workforce development and deployment, technology integration and innovation, and creating integrated and intelligent transportation systems. “On behalf of the 13 members of the Wardens’ Caucus, I am thrilled to be a part of this exciting initiative,” EOWC chair Eric Duncan. “This will be a platform for thinking and acting regionally. Along with our other permanent partners, EORN and OEEDC, the council will harness the collective efforts of the region’s economic development community to drive growth and hopefully create new jobs and new prosperity for our citizens.” “This is an important day for us,” added mayors’ committee chair Bryan Paterson. “It represents a real step forward in promoting a co-ordinated approach to growing our economy here in eastern Ontario, something we are all committed to doing. This is another example of what we can do when all municipal players row in the same direction.”

Shining a light on violence against rural women Anastasia Kuzyk. Natalie Warmerdam. Carol Culleton. It was a dark and unforgettable day in the Upper Ottawa Valley when these three women were found dead in separate homes Sept. 22. After a five-hour manhunt, Basil Borutski, 57, was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder. JoAnne Brooks, director of the Women’s Sexual Assault Centre (WSAC) of Renfrew County, spoke recently at a provincial roundtable on violence against women. The WSACorganized Take Back the Night March had been scheduled for the day of the murders and was rescheduled to Sept. 28. The event highlights the issue of violence against women. In her speech at the Toronto roundtable, Brooks outlined some of the unique factors faced by rural women affected by violence. At more than 7,400 square kilometres, Renfrew County is vast geographically. There are 51,000 women living in the county and the median income is $21,740, meaning women are often living in poverty and may not have access to a vehicle if they need to get away. Religious and patriarchal values are entrenched and with a large hunting community in the area, many men have access to firearms. A lack of day care, financial stability, confidentiality and anonymity can all be factors for women who need to escape violent situations. An ethic of self-sufficiency may prevent women from reaching out, as well, says
Brooks. Involving rural voices when making changes to the justice system would be beneficial, she says. These high-risk offenders are often well-known in communities and in the justice system. We need laws that can protect the potential victims in a better way. Let’s focus on the victims and not just the perpetrators’ rights, says Brooks. In the aftermath of the tragic events, communities have been banding together. Hundreds of people lit up Heritage Park in Wilno Friday night at a candlelight vigil that paid tribute to the victims and highlighted the issue of violence against women. In a hastily-organized event in Renfrew Saturday night, the cenotaph at Low Square was highlighted with a purple light, the colour associated with violence against women. Attendees lit candles and men laid roses or flowers to show their support. It is hoped the ceremony will become an annual one, held on the last Saturday of September. Nothing can change the fact that three vibrant and loved women are gone; however, important conversations have started across the county. And hopefully talking about this most recent tragedy will help women in violent situations escape an unimaginable fate. If you need help call Bernadette McCann House at 1-800-267-4930 or 613-732-3131 or the WSAC at 1-800-461-9018. You are not alone.

Election sign vandalism could net $5K fine To the Editor: Please be advised that Elections Canada has strict regulations concerning vandalism, removal and theft of public election signs. Under Section 325 of the Canada Elections Act, it is illegal to “prevent or impair the transmission to the public of an election advertising message without the consent of a person with authority to authorize its transmission”.
The punishment for removing or defacing election signs that are lawfully placed may include a fine of up to $5,000, up to six months in jail or both. If you would like to read more about this law, visit Elections Canada website at www.elections.ca or the Ministry of Justice at http://lawslois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/e-2.01/. Public Election signs are also regulated by municipal bylaws which
set the parameters that are appropriate in regards to legal and safe placement and orientation. These bylaws are generally available on the websites of the municipalities or, upon request, at their offices. If you see a public election sign that is placed contrary to the bylaw, please do not take it down yourself as you will then be liable for it. Instead, contact your municipality and ask them to investi-
gate as they see appropriate. Over the past several weeks, I have personally seen and heard about the disappearance of many public elections signs belonging to many of the federal candidates. Therefore, I urge our constituents in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke to refrain from any such
I grew up in a working class family with 6 kids. We were passionate about hard work and hockey. My younger brother made the NHL.
It is through their tenure which we’ve seen turnout in elections decrease. Trust me the apathy is not natural to those under 54- it’s not even natural in students. There just seems little point if no one is going to listen to us anyway. And they certainly aren’t. It’s a different world from when they were 40 or 30 or 20. As they read this some will be grumbling about me being “impertinent” and “not knowing my place.” But they need to know when it’s time to pass the torch. With the problems our country and our world is facing now-we need people who are actually going to be engaged and have a vested interest in the future for themselves. Not someone who only cares about their health care or their pension and to hell with
whoever happens to come next or earn a lower tax bracket. Of our six candidates in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke three are above the average age of MPs. They’re nowhere near the average age of their own constituents. Ideology aside, they represent the old school. It’s a different world and its time the House of Commons actually looked like the country it governs with more women, with greater diversity of race, religion, and age, and some fresh blood. This will include all generations, but fairly. Brendan Edge Arnprior

quarter of the population. Our House of Commons is supposed to be the legislative body filled with the common people of Canada; of all sexes, races, sexual orientations, gender identities, life experience (and legal voting ages). It is supposed to be a place where all these different people can come together and find common ground. How is that possible when the average Canadian isn’t actually represented in the commons? 18-30 year olds, my demographic, make up 15 per cent of the population and hold only three seats in the commons. Don’t get me wrong I have the greatest respect for my grandmothers’ and older parents’ generations; but next to none for their generations political class.

Hi - I’m Dan McCarthy, your NDP candidate
New world requires younger politicians To the Editor: Canada’s political landscape desperately needs some revitalization; not strictly a different party, but different candidates. The average age of an MP is 54 and around 50 per cent of our MPs are even older than that! Having dealt in politics myself already I know that some old stalwarts shall insist that it takes that long to garner the proper life experience, that these people are the best and brightest (providing they’re a member of the correct party of course), and because of their experience and wisdom are the best Canadians to represent all of our interests. Thus it could seem perfectly natural that they make up 50 per cent of our elected representatives –a demographic which makes up only a
behavior and allow this election to remain a fair, open and positive race as it is meant to be!
All my life, I’ve fought to help working people obtain their rights.
The NDP will help you by: • Bringing in $15 a day child care • Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, and • Moving the retirement age back to 65

Here in Arnprior it was noted by a Creative Writing workshop lead by a First Nations Elder Albert Dumont. The participants were profoundly touched by his wise spiritual leadership. We hope it is one little step towards an ongoing connection, our first effort towards reconciliation. On Sunday, 20 people gathered at the Peace Pole at the Galilee Centre where we gave voice to many lead-
ers throughout history that call us to find a way to live in peace. One such prayer read is a Jewish Prayer for Peace. An excerpt is: May we see the day when war and bloodshed cease/ When a great peace will embrace the whole world/ For all who live on earth shall realize/ We have not come into being to hate or destroy/ We have come into being/ To praise, to labour, to love… Finally, I hope we will take these sentiments into our choice of leader. As we prepare for the upcoming election there are many issues being discussed but the most important of these is how will we, Canadians from
all corners of the earth, help each other to build a strong, safe, sustainable life for ourselves and our chil-
I hope we will take these sentiments into our choice of leader. dren. I believe the Canadian Peace Initiative has a place in this discussion as agents of peace and guardians
of nonviolence in word and deed. Below is a short summary of our goals. The Canadian Peace Initiative Is a citizen’s movement committed to a nonviolent, non killing approach to conflict resolution and the principles of a culture of peace CPI members want political parties: • To develop within their platform a policy on how to conduct themselves in all areas of governance by peaceful means • To create an all-party committee informed by the principles and practices of nonviolence
• To implement and test the practices of a politics of peace as mapped out in the private members Bill to Create a Department of Peace, and • To form a Department of Peace within Canada and lead the world through wise and compassionate leadership. This will only occur when the people of Canada declare these principles and practices as their mandate to the leaders of Canada regardless of the party they support.

Hec Clouthier is only viable choice this election Pay military taxes because To the Editor: After the last election I said I would voice my opinions about the candidates in this election, several of whom I spoke with recently - one being the independent Hector Clouthier, and the other being Liberal Jeff Lehoux. Cheryl Gallant however, after agreeing to speak with me has not done so nor has she returned my calls. This may be due to a letter I published in area papers following the last election, wherein my advise to her was to moderate her behavior, cease the erratic antics that have defined her political career, and broaden her horizons in order to fulfill the high expectations of the electorate who were keeping her in office including myself. Regrettably Mrs. Gallant has fallen short of those expectations, and although when my letter was published it also mentioned if the need arose I would have other things to say, Mrs. Gallant’s activity’s since then require no further elaboration by me, as they are already known in the riding and in some cases across our nation. Nevertheless it’s a given that many are going to vote for her again, because despite their disenchantment they regard a vote for her as being a vote for PM Harper, rather than Mrs. Gallant personally who, at the end of the day, still represents a Conservative seat in the House of Commons. And this is especially so at a time when it’s so critical for Harper to retain a majority government, even by a single seat. Others will vote for her because they see no viable alternative, which is not entirely true as there is an alternative now in the person of Hector
Clouthier. He has often been the focus of some scathing articles written by myself in defense of Mrs. Gallant, following his ill advised gun registry stance in 2000. But that was then, and this is now, and to his credit Mr. Clouthier took those drubbings in the press like a man. As I said I spoke with Mr. Clouthier personally on several occasions of late, during which time he assured me he was “supportive of Prime Minster Harper’s policies” and if he ran for office and was elected “would continue to support those policies as long as they were good for Canada and the County of Renfrew.” I found Mr. Clouthier personable, and indeed much my liking, I felt he was being sincere with respect to his expression of support for Mr. Harper, with whom he is well acquainted and referred to as “a good friend.” So I’m going to cut to the chase and say “Yes, Mr. Clouthier has made some mistakes, and yes his words have occasionally called into question what was going on in his mind, and yes voters are wondering if he can be trusted to do the right thing if elected, and I myself have been one them.” But for those who are inclined to forever dredge up a man’s past all I can say is, “every one of us have made mistakes in the past myself included.” Thus it is with Mr. Clouthier who is now running with the impediment of some things in his past which may be hard to overcome. But as for me, I will not cast a single stone to the detriment of Mr. Clothier for what he said or did in the past. Instead I’m going to follow the example set by one greater than I by forgetting the past and according Mr. Clouthier his
due because as an independent representative he will not be a Liberal, an NDP or a Bloc candidate, but a Renfrew County candidate beholden to no one but the voters, the hand of providence, and the dictates of his conscience to do what is right. As for the Liberal and NDP voters who have supported Mrs. Gallant in the past but are seeking a change, and are not going to vote for her this time, may I suggest you vote instead for Hector Clouthier as he is the only viable alternative and by so doing, the campaign for political ascendancy in Renfrew- Nippissing-Pembroke will then be a contest between Mr. Clouthier and Mrs. Gallant. The bottom line is if the Liberals/NDP or the Bloc win outright or by coalition defeat the Conservatives, it’s all over for the Canada we used to know, because these parties either alone or in concert, will hammer asunder the socio- economic, political, moral and spiritual underpinnings of our nation. As for the Liberal candidate Mr. Jeff Lehoux, I found him to be a respectable young man and if he were running in Mrs. Gallant’s stead I would support him, but regrettably he is not. Thus I see Mr. Lehoux as the right man running for the wrong party. As for Mrs. Gallant, personally if its any comfort to you, I want you to know what I have said here came from the heart of your friend and has saddened me greatly to say it, but nevertheless if you are re-elected, I will still be there to help if you need me just like I always have.

God controls all wars
To the Editor: In response to misguided peace advocate Elaine Gibson, I would challenge her on the juvenile antics in redirecting taxes destined for military. There are numerous budget items that we can all disagree
Our military is abroad fighting those who want to come here and kill us, and destroy our way of life. It is obvious that God is for our military. Why should Ms. Gibson be against it? with, but invoking God into it as a rationale for her action is naïve at best, and possibly sinful at worst. Maybe going to jail as she claims she would do, would give her time to study God’s word to find out the real story. Possibly I can connect a few dots for Ms. Gibson. Since she invoked God into this, let us see what God says about this. As Christians, we all know that God is in ultimate control. The Bible states clearly for those who can hear and will listen, that Jesus will return very soon. In Mark 12:13-17, Jesus was asked if they should pay taxes to Caesar. His response in short, was yes.
In Daniel 2:21, God’s word states that God sets up and removes kings. These kings are responsible to defend each nation. That is done with military, and it sometimes means taking the fight to the enemy before it comes to a nation’s doorstep. The Bible, especially the books of First and Second Kings, is full of such wars directed by God. In many cases, God installs a bad king to punish a rebellious nation before passing judgement on them. We see that right now in the U.S.A., with a president who claims to be a Christian, but who openly stands for things God is against, America is now in steep decline and cannot be rescued. Canada is not far behind, if it does not change. Genesis 6:5-12 states that the whole world was filled with violence in Noah’s day. Matthew 24:37-39 states that it will be the same when Christ returns. Matthew 24:6 states that there will be wars and rumours of wars just before Christ returns. This requires a military to defend. Our military is abroad fighting those who want to come here and kill us, and destroy our way of life. It is obvious that God is for our military. Why should Ms. Gibson be against it? God says there will be no peace, but Ms. Gibson says, “speak peace.” I’m with God. Possibly Ms. Gibson should just pay her taxes and thank God that she can, and for our military.

Fire Prevention Week Oct. 4 – 10, 2015
This year’s theme is Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month. To increase the chances of surviving a fire, the Arnprior Fire Department is reminding everyone in our community to test their smoke alarms today and monthly. “Only working smoke alarms save lives, so make sure to test all of your smoke alarms,â€? says Fire Chief John Okum “It is one of the easiest tests you’ll ever take.â€? Ontario law requires that working smoke alarms be located on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. Arnprior Fire Department recommends the following smoke alarm and safety tips: • Test smoke alarms monthly. Consider vulnerable family members, friends and neighbours who may need assistance maintaining and testing their smoke 1) +# ' -" +#(+#-2 #' , # alarms – let’s make sure to test theirs too!
• Develop and practice a home fire escape plan with everyone in your household. “I am challenging everyone in this community to demonstrate how you test your smoke alarms, “says Chief Okum.

Return focus to election issues from sign vandalism To the Editor: There is a first time for everything. I really hope that the recent defacing of signs supporting Liberal candidate Jeff Lehoux was an act of senseless vandalism, rather than a political act. That would be the better of two bad options! However, I fear we shall never know the truth. Is it too much to ask that whoever defaced the signs come out from under the shield of anonymity and defend their comments? To date I have yet to hear a clear condemnation of this act by the other candidates in the riding. Let us hope that they have the moral courage to unconditionally and publicly denounce this behaviour. In case anyone is unaware of the details,
the following comments were added to some of Jeff’s signs: “more Taxes and Muslims” and “Jihad Jeff.” Apart from being offensive the comments are inaccurate. In fact, the Liberals are proposing reducing the income tax rate from 22 per cent to 20.5 per cent for middle class Canadians. The last comment must be extremely hard for Jeff to accept given that he has fought for his country in Afghanistan, administered medical care to wounded comrades, and was wounded so severely that he was medically retired from the forces. In fact, one of the reasons that he entered the political process was seeing media reports that the Conservative incumbent expressed the view that the only stigma asso-
ciated with PTSD was within service men and women and did not exist externally. Although Jeff understands the needs of our vets, he is also familiar with the general needs of all who live in the riding. He knows that the riding requires investment in its infrastructure; he knows that families are struggling to balance the weekly budget; and he knows that it is important to create job opportunities for all, but particularly for those entering the workforce for the first time. Let’s stick to real issues during this election period and let us not victimise Truth. Dave Stewart Arnprior
Select leaders based on their future visions of Canada
Old ideas remain
The leaders develop smaller circles of influence, where ideas become more homogenous with less room for creativity. Often a result of experienced caucus members leaving the party inner circle is John Baird. A truly open mind will force one’s imagination to conform to the evidence of reality whether we like the outcome or not. The problem is: we all see reality through the tinted lens of our growing experience, some so dark that they barely see the reality at all. That is the only way to make sense of sun-lov-
ing tourists who stood on future reality. This type of tures for all of us. Joseph Schwartz Malaysian beaches film- leadership will ensure the Douglas best of many possible fuing the tidal wave. Greenhouse deniers will only see the reality of climate change when a mid-winter tornado tears their house apart. It’s why some people continue to text and drive. They just cannot see the magnitude of the mistake they are making. When was the last time we heard a politician utter the phrase ‘I was wrong?’ Surely we don’t want leaders with limited vision in positions of government power. So let us query all political candidates about their vision of a futuristic Canada in an unpredictable future world.

To the Editor: The problem with political elections is similar to the problem of going to war. Leaders often go to war utilizing the tactics of the last war, only to lose when confronted by more imaginative combatants i.e. the U.S./Vietnam war or Russian/Afghan war. Political rhetoric so often looks backward at past successes and extrapolates past policy into a vision of the future. Unlike financial advice, which warns that past performance is no indication of future success, the problem with extrapolating into the future is no one can ever predict future events. For example, Star Trek movies don’t show a single LED computer screen or light on the Enterprise. So how will the political parties fit with a future world with climate change (global warming), massive human migration (millions of immigrants), major economic

There is nothing fishy about a fisher

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way regularly dine on Porcupines. They kill those animals by racing around them, avoiding their quill-adorned tail that lashes out at attackers. They slash and bite the Porcupine’s face until it weakens, then flip it over onto its back and eviscerate it by tearing through its quill-less belly. Fishers and Martens also regularly scavenge dead animals, especially in winter, but neither eats fish, leaving those aquatic animals for Otters and Mink. Hence, the name “Fisher” is misleading. For years I’ve been trying to photograph Fishers. While I have seen a few dozen, there was always vegetation in the way when one came close enough to photograph. That was the situation until last week. I stopped on my morning walk at the base of a granite cliff where huge boulders
adorn the ground. Here, I snuggled among the giant slabs of granite and called for a few minutes to attract birds. I also gave predator calls consisting of noisy kisses on the back of my fingers. The ensuing sound simulated the cries of an injured animal, which is music to the ears of predators. Over the years I’ve called in hundreds of foxes, coyotes, hawks, owls, and weasels (but not Fishers). But on this memorable morning a Fisher responded to my calls, suddenly appearing on a boulder just ahead of me. I quickly changed my camera’s settings and fired off a few frames, hoping the animal would linger longer, but after a few seconds it vanished. It was so close only its face had been visible in the camera’s viewfinder, but when I checked my camera I was relieved to see the images taken were sharp and propMichael Runtz erly exposed. Fishers pose no danger to humans; this one came within two metres of the My true joy comes from photographer. seeing animals in the wild, and getting a reasonable photo of one is always just icing on the cake. That meeting with the Fisher was a very sweet one Home Furnishings indeed. R0043437804.1001
Many animals bear names that reflect some aspect of their appearance or behaviour. Red-breasted Nuthatches and Red Squirrels sport red colouration. Yellow Warblers are yellow and Gray Catbirds are gray. Black Skimmers are mostly black and skim the water’s surface with their bills. Thus, the aforementioned names seem logical. But then there is the Fisher. These fascinating animals are weasels that are second in size only to their famous (and infamous) cousins, Wolverines, which are not found in our area. Fishers do live here, although they are usually shy, reclusive animals. American Martens, another close relative, also reside locally but they too are usually elusive animals. Martens and Fishers are forest animals that, unlike River Otters and Mink, do not hang out near water. Both weasels have a varied diet that includes berries and fruit as well as animals. The prey is mostly small animals such as mice and squirrels, often caught in trees because Martens and Fishers are both excellent climbers. Fishers den in tree cavities, which are sometimes higher than twenty feet off the ground. Fishers also eat larger animals such as Snowshoe Hares, and they are one of the only predators to

“May peace prevail on earth.” The International Day of Peace was on Sept. 21. Nations, communities and institutions are meant to celebrate acts that can be towards their personal peace or peace-building. Ottawa even has a Peace Festival, which runs until Oct. 2. The Arnprior chapter of the Canadian Peace Initiative Group hosted two events over the Sept. 19-20 weekend to mark the occasion. On the Sept. 19, Algonquin Elder Albert Dumont led a creative writing session at the Arnprior Guest House. Dumont is from Kitigan Zibi/Maniwaki and is a poet, writer and artist. The group was small but everyone involved was interested in the proceedings. “The creative writing is about finding the voice within our self,” said Theresa Dunn, who chairs the group. “It’s to find love and peaceful change.”

Peace Pole ceremony at Galilee “It’s all about the power of words and the power of listening,” said Enid Blackwell. During one portion, Dumont explained a dream involving turtles and believed it was about saving Turtle Island - the continent of North America. He understood dreams can have powerful messages behind it. He also read a poem that he wrote himself about a newborn baby. “The day has been a lot of sharing and creating,” said Elaine M. Gibson. The gathering was also about learning the essence of the First People and understanding
their culture as they have a wealth of spirit. Dunn believed that should be more consideration towards peace like conflict management and a Department of Peace. Back in May, $8,728 was raised in a crowd funding effort to establish such a department in Canada. Afterwards, there was plenty of moose stew feast to serve. On Sept. 20, was a commemorative ceremony at the Peace Pole which was planted at the Galilee Centre in 2011. The words, “May peace prevail on earth” can be found on the pole in four languages, French, Algonquin, English and Sign Language.

Dragon boat club wraps up season Henry Ford best described teamwork in the following manner: “Coming together is a beginning – Keeping together is progress – Working together is success.” Mr. Ford’s words and wisdom certainly depicts dragon boating at its highest level. And, what a season it’s been; record times established, personal bests achieved, new friendships forged, and, above all, a real sense of esprit de corps certainly enhanced team performance overall. TEAM – Together Everyone Achieves More. What an accomplishment for the Arnprior Dragon Boat Club (ADBC).
The Community Challenge Dragon Boat Festival which was held along the waterfront at Robert Simpson Park on Saturday, July 25 helped set the stage mid-season for a wonderful and progressive season of dragon boating. A total of 19 dragon boat teams from in and around Eastern Ontario participated in the festival and helped showcase dragon boating at its very best. The competition was strong and most aggressive and our community teams in particular demonstrated their competitive spirit, their sense of community and camaraderie, and having

Another highlight was our club’s participation in the Fall 400 Dragon Boat Festival in Carleton Place on Saturday, Sept. 12. And, despite the cold, rainy, and blustering weather, spirits remained high. In fact, one could feel and actually taste a very competitive flavour in the air. Success was certainly achieved by the Draggin’ Behinds our Club’s Race Team, as well as the Shutup n’ Paddle Dragon Boat Team composed of Paddlers from both recreation teams, some entirely new paddlers this season. The Shutup n’ Paddle mixed team most definitely distinguished themselves by performing record breaking

times in the 200 Meter Race (00.57.54), the 400 Meter (01.59.81) and then winning third place in the “B”-Division with a time of 02.01.87 in the Final 400 Meter Race. What an achievement, what a feat of perseverance, what a visible encouragement to others who may want to consider Dragon Boating for the very first time. So Arnprior, let’s give three cheers for our Communities Dragon Boat Paddlers, our Coaches and Steers Persons, and our Volunteers who have worked so hard behind the scenes to make our Club and the sport of Dragon Boating a success. priced from

With 15,000 people living with dementia in the Ottawa and Renfrew County area, the need has never been more pressing. Across the country, 747,000 Canadians have the disease, which will climb to 1.4 million in less than 20 years. There is no known cause or cure for dementia and age remains the biggest risk factor. Coffee Break events are open to everyone in
the community. The Alzheimer Society is also looking for businesses and other local groups to get involved. Coffee Break hosts are asked to offer a cup of coffee to participants for a donation to the Alzheimer Society. And the sky’s the limit on how big or creative they want to make their event. The fundraisers also raise awareness and encourage discussion about the disease. Reducing stigma and misinformation is an important step in improving the quality of life for people with dementia and prolonging their independence and sense of well-being. Since launching 19 years ago, Coffee Break events have raised $18.5 million. To commemorate its 20th anniversary, societies across the country have set the target of $1.5 million to bring the total to $20 million.

Juvenile Packers are orphaned from league Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
Jackie Ryan/Submitted
Champs in U.S.A. An Upper Ottawa Valley Aces AA team has yet to start the regular season, but they are already champions in one corner of the United States. The minor bantams won a tournament in Jay Peak, Vermont on the weekend of Sept. 25-27. The 4-2 championship game against a Boston team came after losing 3-0 to the same team the previous day. The Aces include Arnprior players Joel Ryan, Jake Rampton, John Bradley, Cohen Dunn, and assistant coach Pat Ryan. Renfrew’s own Tysen Johnston in goal and goalie coach Kevin Johnston. Also from Renfrew is Justin Schutt.
The season for the Arnprior Juvenile Packers has ended before it even started. Following a Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League (LCMHL) member associations meeting on Sept. 22, the decision was officially made to not include the Packers for the 2015-16 hockey season. “It is with great sadness that I announce that the Arnprior Packers Juvenile hockey team has been orphaned,” said Doug ‘D.R’ Heeney, general manager for the Packers. “Osgoode Rideau who very strongly supported us, put forth a motion for the LCMHL to include Arnprior.
None of the other member associations would second the motion.” The decision effectively killed any possibility for the Packers to play this season. “Seven years ago, the LCMHL extended goodwill and allowed a district five team to play within district four because there were no Juvenile teams within [Arnprior’s district]” said Heeney. “Arnprior is on the border of district four and we simply ran out of goodwill.” Heeney had put forth the option of moving the team to places like Almonte, Stittsville, Pakenham or Carleton Place. The LCMHL would not allow the Packers to transfer to any of the district
four locations mentioned, although the league would welcome eligible Arnprior players to move to another team that have a short roster. Nepean Minor Hockey also decided not to allow the Arnprior team to play but would take any interested players. Heeney appreciated the effort and kind words of Osgoode coach, Mike Brophy and Lloyd Hardy, the team’s Juvenile convener at the meeting. “They are both really good people and I cannot express enough thanks for their efforts,” said Heeney. “It has been a wonderful seven years and I am sorry to see it come to an end. I gave it my best effort.”

SENS EXTRA Canadian Tire Centre reveals new seating, food options brier.dodge@metroland.com
The Canadian Tire Centre will have about 500 fewer seats this Ottawa Senators hockey season, as the new Club Bell seats are now in place. The luxury section – with tickets that include valet parking, food and drink – start at $10,000 a seat for the whole season. Single game tickets aren’t available in the special section, which seats 472. The renovation changes the total capacity down to 18, 684 from 19,153. “We think this is going to be the best location to watch a game in the entire league,” said Ottawa Senators president Cyril Leeder. “It’s quite a significant change.” There are a few seating options, with larger, premium seats, and blocks called “loges”, which give customers a bar-style counter to keep food and drink on. Leeder said the ticket sales for the Club Bell section will be gearing “pretty well all to businesses and high net-worth individuals.” FOOD OPTIONS For fans who won’t be sitting in the new premium seeing, there are still upgrades to look forward to this season at the Canadian Tire Centre. For those who have dietary requirements or just enjoy eating healthy, Farm Boy will open the

Farm Boy Fresh zone. Options will include wraps, salads, soups and sushi in a menu created by Jamie Urie. The Fresh Zone will feature similar food to the pre-made food in the grocery store chain, including options for gluten-free and vegetarian diets. “That’s part of our mandate. Number one is being able to offer something for everybody,” Urie said. “We’ll have vegan soups, vegetarian chilli – and of course, options for the meat lover.” Favourite Smokes Poutinerie, which has been a popular stop during games, will also expand its presence to include a new Smoke’s Burritorie. It will have a few unique burritos on the menu to add another food option for Sens fans. There will also be more than quadruple the number of Tim Hortons coffee stands through the arena, as the chain has increased its presence at the facilty. “Tim Hortons has really made a big investment and we’ve been able to expand the distribution of coffee to 14 locations, up from three last year,” said Geoff Publow, the team’s vice-president of strategic development. “The lines have become a bit legendary.” There is also improved accessibility access with a counter that is more accommodating to fans who are in wheelchairs.

Above, new seats in the Bell Club will start at $10,000 each. That’s for a season ticket, per seat. The new section is aimed towards corporate buyers and “high net-worth individuals,” said Ottawa Senators president Cyril Leeder.
Right, Farm Boy is one of the new food additions for the Canadian Tire Centre in 2015. The takeout restaurant, located on the concourse accessible from the 200 and 300 level seats, will have vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free food options.

Arnprior Packers handed loss in home opener scottcampbell@metroland.com
The Arnprior Packers didn’t start off on the right skate for the first home game on Friday. The opponent of Stittsville Royals came out fast on the scoreboard with three unanswered goals within the first period. Arnprior’s Chris Kind managed a goal during the final minutes of the period with Stittsville having the lead at 3-1. “It was a pretty good game,” said Packers GM and head coach Bill Griese. “It’s just a matter of us not being able to score right now. There were plenty of chances but we are still in the midst of getting to know each other.” The second period was quiet with nothing getting in the net for either team. “Peter Brooks played nets for us and after a shaky start really settled down and made some timely saves.” Corey Chaplin was the lone goal for Arnprior with helpers from Brayden Harvey and Jacob Steege. Matt Allan got the clincher for the Royals to win at a final AD score of 42. PROOF “All four lines are new people FORM playing together for the first time,” said Griese. “We are spending way
too much time and energy trying to make each goal look good and not shooting enough.” Overall, Griese liked what he saw and the attitude of the players. He understood the chemistry of the players doesn’t happen right off the faceoff. It’s a rather busy week to work things out for the team though. The Packers meet Metcalfe on Tuesday at home (after press deadline.) The weekend games are the result of the new CCHL2 league with Friday being a trek to meet the Winchester Hawks and Saturday is a road trip to Prescott. To wrap up the weekend, CharLan Rebels are coming to Arnprior on Sunday for a 2:30 start time. The Packers are promoting the idea that students who are 16 and under will be permitted free of charge with a donation to the Food Bank, all season long at home games.

Sandpoint raises money for Partners in Caring Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
There were 70 golfers who ventured to Sand Point Golf Course on Sept. 25. They gathered for the first ever fundraising tournament to help out Partners in Caring. The idea was hatched by newly hired head pro and GM Chris Bernard. The Prince Edward Island native has a background of 25 years in the golf industry and he worked at courses like Emerald Links in Greely. Sand Point used the whole course for the endeavor. “The 18 holes are all par threes,” said Bernard for a total of par 54. “The game will go pretty quick. We have two flags on all the greens to give better chances.” The increased odds could have led to cash for the golfers who may of lucked out on a hole-inone. Only one hole out of the 18 was out of contention, as the distance was deemed too short. “I’m quite happy with the turnout,” said owner Robert Reid. “It’s fun. Chris came up with the idea and we thought to try it.” The nice weather was commented on numerous times and dinner was served afterward inside the Greenside Tavern. “Sand Point is a good course,” said Bernard. “It has great ownership in Robert and Lynn.” In May, Reid had made the decision to take over the club in an attempt to save the business. A few of his changes was having a renamed business, opening the course to the public and renovating the restaurant. “For the first season, I think it turned out good,” said Reid.

OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
What You Should Know About Breast Cancer Breast cancer is a complex disease that will affect 1 in 9 Canadian women during their lifetime. According to the latest statistics, it is estimated that 24,400 women and 210 men in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and that 5,000 women and 60 men will die from the disease in 2014.
What is breast cancer? “Cancer” is the general name for a group of diseases that affect the body at a cellular level. Although there are many kinds of cancer, they all start because abnormal cells divide and grow out of control. These abnormal cells can lump together to form a mass of tissue called a tumour. If the breast is the original (primary) location of a cancer growth or tumour, the condition is called breast cancer. The breasts consist mainly of fatty tissue that contains thousands of tiny glands—or lobules—whose function is to produce milk in a woman if she carries a pregnancy to term. They also contain mammary ducts, which transport milk from the lobules to the nipple. Different types of breast cancer can occur in different tissues in the breast. Cancer that forms in the mammary ducts is called ductal carcinoma and is the most common type of breast cancer. When cancer occurs in the lobules, it is known as lobular carcinoma. Breast cancer can also spread beyond the breast area if cells break off from the growth or tumour and travel through the

blood stream or lymphatic system to other parts of the body. This condition is called metastatic breast cancer. Breast cancer is a complex disease and there are many factors that play a role in its development. Some of the factors that increase breast cancer risk we have more influence over, such as diet, alcohol use, and exposure to certain chemicals in the environment. Other factors we have less influence over, such as genetic mutations that we inherit from our parents. Scientific evidence suggests that a combination of factors, rather than a single cause, influences the development of breast cancer. Learn more about the possible causes of breast cancer. More research is needed to understand better how risk factors work together to result in the cell changes that lead to breast cancer. Research helps to improve our knowledge of breast cancer, giving us a stronger understanding of breast cancer risk and ways to try to reduce the risk.

be breast aWare It’s quite normal for your breasts to differ slightly in shape, size, and the way they feel, and to change during your menstrual cycle, in pregnancy and as you age. Many of the most common breast changes are not signs of breast cancer. Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation encourages you to be breast aware – know how your breasts normally look and feel so that you are able to discuss any changes with a health care provider.

Last year’s Octoberfest charity tournament raised $1,500 for Arnprior Regional Health and $1,500 for Hospice Renfrew.
Madawaska’s Octoberfest to raise funds, tip beer steins On Oct. 3 golfers at the Madawaska Golf Club will be raising funds and raising beer steins while participating in the eighth annual Oktoberfest Charity Golf Tournament. Over the last seven years, Madawaska Golf’s premiere fundraising tournament has raised more than $20,000 for local charities. This year will definitely add to that total as the tournament fundraises for Arnprior
Regional Health’s Partners in Caring Foundation and Arnprior Special Olympics. “No matter the weather, Oktoberfest has traditionally been the most popular tournament we host at Madawaska,” club manager Victoria Munro said. “We try to make it a special and unique event that stands out from all the other great charity events happening in our community. It is a really fun time.”
The tournament starts with light breakfast at 9 a.m., lunch and snacks on the course and dinner and entertainment following the golf. There will be prizes, an official Oktoberfest, 2015 souvenir and, obviously, beer. The event is $90 and only $75 for Madawaska members. If you would like to register for this fun-filled, important event, call the Madawaska Golf Club at 613-623-3852.
Heritage Radio launching ‘The Valley This Week’ Valley Heritage Radio is launching a 90minute weekly news and current affairs show. The Valley This Week will air Saturday mornings from 10:15 to 11:45, beginning Oct. 3. The new show represents an opportunity to complement the station’s current music programming with news, stories and events that matter to listeners throughout the listening area (Renfrew County, Ottawa-Carleton, Lanark, Leeds & Grenville County and the Pontiac). VALLEY CORRESPONDENTS
The show is being produced by Heather Lang, and will be hosted by Hillary Lanigan, a volunteer from the Petawawa area. Stories will be filed by volunteer correspondents who have been recruited from the Ottawa Valley and the Pontiac. “The focus will be on giving listeners a feel for life in the Valley by speaking with the very people who help make this area so special,” says station manager Jason Marshall. “Our concept is to present stories that are about the people of the Valley, by people of the Valley. We have put together a team of dedicated volunteers who are anxious to help find and tell those stories.” According to Lang, it will be a current affairs show with a Valley Heritage Radio flair
– homespun, unique, interesting and engaging. “It will be a broad thematic lens focused on the arts, environment, sports, youth, seniors, agriculture, health, and more, complemented by profiles and on-air interviews, will be used to frame this new show — and help us grow the Valley Heritage Radio brand,” said Lang. The ability to launch and produce The Valley This Week has been made possible with a $46,003 grant provided by the Community Radio Fund of Canada (CRFC) under its Radiometres program. The CRFC grant program is designed to improve local programming, volunteer training and community members’ participation. This is the first time the station has received funding from the CRFC. “Valley Heritage Radio has been responding to the needs and interests of the people living and working in our broadcast area since we launched in January 2007. Late last year we sent out a survey, and one of the things our listeners wanted was more local news and this grant gives us a chance to do just that,” says Marshall. “We are very excited about the opportunity to improve the quality of our news programming, widen our scope of community involvement and expand our listener base. “We are a community radio station, and we always gear programming to what the listener wants.”

Flying for fun Above, Kent Denton lands his 170cc aircraft at the Arnprior Radio Control Flying Club fun day on Sept. 26 in Vydon Acres, near Fitzroy Harbour. Right, Kinburn’s Darren Wilson readies his aircraft for the skies at the Arnprior Radio Control Club’s get together. The planes are fairly noisy – like Harley Davidsons, that’s what enthusiasts enjoy – so the wide open spaces in West Carleton make it ideal for get togethers.

for the last time on October 2nd. The time has come for me to hang up my oven gloves….. It will be a day full of mixed emotions; I won’t be sorry to say good bye to the 5:00 a.m alarm clock or leaving the house in a snow storm to get the muffins on. I will, however, be very sorry to say good bye to the wonderful people that I have met along the way. The conversations that have been struck over breakfast or lunch, that have led to regular customers and often friendships I am forever grateful for. To my lovely landlord Mark who took care of anything I asked for, to my special lady Vicki – I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with me. To my other girl Friday Kim, who helped out whenever needed, another blessing, and to my lovely daughter Sarah who always jumped in and helped me in times of crisis, or found someone else that could! To my partner Alain, who always has my back. My heartfelt thanks, I love you all. I will be selling off items, furniture stuff and of course knick knacks. If you are interested in anything you may purchase it now and pick it up October 3rd Warmest regards Terry Wall CLR636944

IN MEMORIAM COE, Charlie In loving memory of a dear husband, father, and grandfather who passed away September 27, 2011. I treasure every moment, you spent in life with me, I hoped to have you longer, But it wasn’t meant to be, You left this world so suddenly, I think my heart went too, I feel so lost and lonely, & cry from missing you. My heart feels like it’s breaking, As I try to carry on, You were my life, my everything, But now my dear you are gone. I pray that God will give me strength Until he calls me too Then what joy will fill my heart When I’m again with you.

In loving memory of a dear son, brother, brother in law & uncle – Kevin – who passed away so suddenly 20 years ago on October 1st 1995.
When I LoSt You I wish I could see you One more time Come walking through the door But I know that is impossible I will hear your voice no more. I know you can feel my tears And you don’t want me to cry Yet my heart is broken Because I can’t understand Why someone so precious had to die. I pray that God will Give me strength And somehow get me through As I struggle with this heartache That came when I lost you.
We often sit and wonder What you would say or do If only you knew the changes Since God parted us from you To some you are forgotten To others part of the past But to us who loved & lost you Your memories will always last Sadly missed but lovingly remembered by family. CLR638555.1001
For those of you who have your Dad Treat him with tender care, Pray you never experience the heartache Of needing his guidance and he’s not there.

In Memoriam:
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two. The one side filled with memories. The other died with you. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane. With tears upon my cheeks, Remembering you is easy, I do it every day. But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away, I hold you tightly within my heart, And there you will remain. Life has gone on without you, But it will never be the same. For those who still have their husbands Treat them with tender care, You will never know the emptiness, As when you turn and he is not there.

Laundry came with a ‘laundry’ list of procedures to follow Nothing interfered with the Monday wash. Or for that matter, the Tuesday ironing. Monday night, after the clothes hung on the line all day, they were brought into the kitchen stiff as boards. Wrinkles were smoothed out of Father’s overalls and the boys pants, socks matched and rolled into balls, and hand towels folded just right. Some of the laundry, like my sister Audrey’s and my blouses had a bath in a basin of water and starch before being hung on the line on Monday, and they too could stand up alone when dried out. Before we went to bed on Monday night, Mother would put the flat irons on the reservoir at the back of the stove, just to warm them. Because once breakfast was over, the fry pan washed and put away, the irons would be moved to the front of the Findlay Oval to get burning hot and ready for the ironing. Winter or summer, come Tuesday, the old kitchen stove had to be raging hot, or the irons would never be ready for the work ahead. The ironing board was nothing more than a plank wrapped with a few layers of well-worn flannelette sheets, and then placed between the
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
backs of two kitchen chairs. Once everything was in place, Mother took a used vinegar bottle and filled it with water and tucked in a stopper with holes in it. Everything that had been starched, and the flour bag tea towels, and pillow slips, Father’s Sunday shirt were well sprinkled with the vinegar bottle water and then rolled into tight sausages and stacked at one end of the kitchen table, close to the ironing board. All the time the flat irons on the stove would be getting hot, absorbing the heat from the raging fire inside. When I wasn’t away to the Northcote school, I loved to sit at one end of the table and watch Mother iron. There was a clamp affair with a smooth wood handle that fitted over
the flat irons, and using a thumb press, Mother could change the irons when they cooled down and would no longer do the job. I thought that was very clever indeed. But the cleverest trick of all, I thought, was when Mother tested the iron to see if it was hot enough. She spit on the end of a finger and quickly tapped the bottom of the iron...if it sizzled, it was ready to use. If it didn’t, she moved over to another iron on the stove and tested it the same way. She did it so quickly, she never burned her finger, which I learned one day could happen if you didn’t pay attention. That day I was allowed to iron the tea towels. They, of course, were rolled up in tight little sausage shapes, and I laid one out flat on the
ironing board, clamped the holder over an iron on the stove, spit on the end of my finger, and connected with the iron. Of course, I wasn’t quick enough, and I was sure I had fried the end of my finger! I soon learned to barely touch the iron and to make sure there was plenty of spit before contact. Ironing was a serious business back then. It took Mother the better part of Tuesday to complete the job. On a summer’s day, the heat in the kitchen was fierce, just to keep the irons hot on the Findlay Oval, and Mother’s face poured sweat. When it got too hot to bear, she would put the iron back on the stove, and go out to the grape arbour with a glass of water and sit for a spell... just long enough to cool down and rest her tired back. And then it was back to the job that consumed every Tuesday. When the last of the ironing was done, clean, starched blouses hung on wire hangers all around the kitchen. Father’s Sunday shirt would be on the back of a chair. The tea towels would be spread out to make sure they were perfectly dry before being put neatly in the drawer on the back-
to-the-wall cupboard. Everything had to be tidied up before supper. The ironing board tucked behind the door in the summer kitchen, and the flat irons allowed to cool down on the reservoir before being put on top of the warming closet on top of the stove waiting for the next Tuesday’s day of ironing. Mother read in the Renfrew Mercury about a new type of iron that used gas to heat it. But she was having none of that. It was enough that she worried constantly about us either freezing to death in our beds on a cold winter’s night, or meeting our Maker from a fire in the winter when the Findlay Oval was plugged to the gunnies with blocks of wood to help keep us warm. She didn’t need a gas iron that could explode and blow us all to pieces, all in the name of moving up to a modern convenience. No siree, the old flat irons would do just fine!

A toast to the Legion for 85 years Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
Arnprior Legion marked their 85th anniversary with a party. There were plenty of toasts and the Valley Concert band to play music. Inside the Arnprior Branch #174 and the Legion hall was a full-house with107 seated. The number included veterans from Second World War, Korea, NATO and UN Peacekeepers, along with their spouses and also widows and widowers. “It’s incredible with the ups and downs and so many problems, that the Legion is still around,” said second vice president Janet Tobio, who has been a member for 21 years. The struggles are getting tougher for other Legions, as Tobio heard rumblings that five locations are preparing to fold within Ontario. The Veteran’s dinner on Sept. 20 is an annual event. This time around was a special occasion
The parade at the start of the ceremony which included the Sergeant at Arms and the CoSCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND lour party and head table. Mayor David Reid offers a few words of appreciation to the veterans. for the celebration of the anniversary. The Royal Canadian Legion itself has reached an impressive 90 years. It was June 23, 1930, when the first meeting was held in Arnprior and the official Branch Charter came into effect on Aug. 21. They have been in the same building on Daniel Street since 1949. Sergeant at Arms Yvon Ouelett
led in the head table guests with the colour party. Zone G6 Commander George Wood, presented certificates to president Harry Herford to mark the anniversary. The meal served was a tasty chicken supreme and a birthday cake for dessert. “Arnprior and the surrounding area had many in the military,” said Tobio. “Many returned and settled here after the wars. Now,
we only have several World War II veterans left.” On paper there are almost 400 members, but few are active. The Arnprior Legion has donated $40,000 to the community over the years from
seniors at home programs to the hospital and many other events and organizations. “Everything that comes in from the bingos to the poppy fund, all goes back out,” said Tobio. The dinner has been

Seniors at Home
LIZ WALL/SUBMITTED
Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home driver Colin Borshevsky of the Para Transit Care Coach assists Myrtle Garneau, a patient at the Arnprior Regional Health, as he delivers her to Woodlawn, where she was able to attend, with her husband Bob of Arnprior, their granddaughter’s outdoor wedding ( Kelly Watters to Jesse Gibbons ) on Aug. 28. It’s just one of the many services and opportunities available and presented by Seniors at Home and the Para Transit Care Coach.
As of last week, $21,564.81 represented the total amount donated for the Dare to Care Yellow Envelope Keep the Wheels Turning Campaign in support of the Para Transit Care Coach service offered by Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home (ABMSH) program. ABMSH’s goal for the 2015 campaign is $30,000. The mail-out campaign raises money to ensure the Care Coach remains on the road and continues to be able to provide independence to those residents of Arnprior, McNab-Braeside, and areas of West Carleton including Fitzroy Harbour, Galetta, Kinburn, Woodlawn, and Dunrobin, that count on the service provided. The Para Transit Care Coach is the only specialized transportation service for persons of all ages, operating in Arnprior and the McNab-Braeside, and it’s

operation relies totally on local fundraising. It is because of this Para Transit service those in need are able to enjoy the simplest of thing that others may take for granted. On Friday, Aug. 28, a young bride, Kelly Watters of Woodlawn, was able to have her grandmother witness and share in her special day. All of this because ABMSH’s Para Transit service was there for Bob Garneau and his wife Myrtle of Arnprior. Myrtle, due to health issues, is a live-in patient at Arnprior Region Health, but because of this very special transportation service she was able to attend her granddaughter’s outdoor wedding. “Colin (Borshevsky) her driver was terrific,” said Mr. Garneau. “We couldn’t ask for better or for such caring service. He was very patient and supportive of Myrtle.” The Yellow Envelope MailOut Dare to Care Campaign is

Beautiful day for the Carp Fair Kyla Dowler, left, and Abby Danis enjoy a day off from Stonecrest Elementary School to ride the many rides. The 152nd Carp Fair was packed with people enjoying the midway, playing for prizes, taking in the horse and cattle shows and the other myriad of events on Friday, Sept. 25. Many students from the local schools learned about sheep shearing, rope making, how produce gets from the farm to the table, and technologies used on farms in the Agriculture Education Tent, while others participated in the 4-H shows.
Good Brothers from Saturday afternoon helped pack them in at the Carp Fair.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 You are extra motivated to explore new opportunities this week, Aries. Bring along a trusted advisor who can steer you in the right direction if you have questions. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 It is very important to find balance, Taurus. Many activities are coming up, and you have to figure out a way to juggle them all. This will take some creativity. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, avoid overindulging this week. Even though it may seem like you can never get enough, over time something special may lose its spark. Practice moderation, instead. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, everything will work out the way it should if you keep a smile on your face this week and continue with the status quo. Soon you can shake things up. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may be compelled to get more involved in your community or a volunteer project this week. A desire to give something back propels your actions. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You have a soft spot for underdogs this week, Virgo. Anyone who seems to be struggling will have your attention, and you will offer to lend a hand.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, this week presents opportunities to help people or even animals in need. If ever there was a time to take up a cause, now is it. You have plenty of extra time to lend a hand. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may find yourself waking up extra early just to accomplish everything you need to get done. Try not to burn the candle at both ends for too long. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you will enjoy downtime much more after you complete an important task and feel a sense of accomplishment. Rest may still be a few days away, so be patient. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, things may be a little confusing of late, but you will find a clear path to get things done. Ask a friend or colleague to lend a helping hand if things get too hectic. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Relationships are very important this week, Aquarius. Nurture both the personal and professional relationships that you want to grow, and you will be happy you did. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, the earlier half of the week may be hectic, but things will return to an even keel as the days press on. 1001
