Gervais guilty of manslaughter

Painting the town red and white

Victim’s family prepares for impact statements Friday Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News - Every time Candice Armstrong hears the song This Is What It Feels Like by Armin van Buuren, she thinks of her brother Brodie.

The lines ‘Nobody here knocking at my door/ The sound of silence I can’t take anymore’ and ‘Nothing to hold but the memories and frames’ in particular ring true for Candice, whose brother was killed at the hands of Jesse Gervais, an acquaintance of the well-known and liked 21-year-old musician.

Gervais made a brief appearance in Renfrew court Monday morning, Sept. 29 to plead guilty to manslaughter. The 23-year-old Arnprior man faced first degree murder charges in the June 12, 2013 stabbing death of Brodie Armstrong, also of Arnprior.

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.

Arnprior’s top officials are livid the provincial Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has all but “killed” a deal that would have brought about six commercial businesses to town. aging the highway corridor effectively and safely, ensuring the safety of the travelling public while maintaining an access policy that is applied in a consistent manner,” Duhaime wrote.

Michael Wildman, the town’s chief administrative officer, said where the guideline’s buffer zone was applied consistently 1.6km of land on either side of the Queensway in Ottawa would be void of commercial development.

That is not the case.

“The MTO is playing hardball. There is no strong rationale for why this development can’t go ahead,” Wildman said, adding that the property is a key gateway to town that should be cleaned up.

Duhaime said the issue is the off ramp, not the highway itself. With U-turning and weaving across the intersection occurring, the safest thing is to locate access points from elsewhere than Daniel.

News – Arnprior’s top officials are livid the provincial Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has all but “killed” a deal that would have brought about six commercial businesses to town.

A developer planned to build four stores and two fast food stores (possibly an A&W) on the land between Daniel Street and the No Frills parking lot. Colonnade Development negotiated with the local landowner, created designs and more going back to last March. The town was at the idea longer, pitching it to any developer showing an interest.

But when Colonnade determined that two vehicular access points from Daniel – near the westbound Highway 417 exit ramp – were needed for consumer convenience, things started heading south.

MTO officials said it isn’t safe.

“I think it’s a pretty sad state of affairs when our own provincial government kills off deals in small towns,” said Reeve Walter Stack at the Sept. 22 council meeting. “We are going to have to get very public. MTO killed that deal.”

He points to a traffic expert, Dylan Consultants, who called the plan safe; no need to relocate the access to the No Frills side; a deal-breaker for Colonnade.

Mayor David Reid was almost equally as upset, vowing to enlist the assistance of area MPP John Yakabuski to score a meeting with MTO minister Steven Del Duca.

Duca was not made available to the Chronicle-Guide for an interview. But in a series of email exchanges spokeswoman Brandy Duhaime insisted the guidelines are applied equally across the province.

“We are committed to man-

ULTERIOR MOTIVES

Although no local officials would voluntarily posit the province has ulterior motives in blocking the deal, it is well known MTO has tried to purchase the land. Duhaime mentioned it in an email just before mentioning, “We support developing this property.”

Asked about the apparent contradiction, she said if the land were MTO-owned, commercial development with access not from Daniel Street would be welcomed.

“We have been very open with all concerned parties for many years,” Duhaime wrote.

She didn’t respond to the assertion that political will could make the deal happen; that Del Duca should defend MTO’s position to the media; Duhaime would only say, “Unfortunately the minister is unavailable at this time.”

Town hall to relocate from building dating back to 1888 Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

would require the OPP to vacate the fire hall in order for this area to be refitted to accommodate town staff,� Bourgon penned in his report. “This option also does not provide the most optimal layout for staff as they are divided between the existing building and the addition.�

Council wasn’t comfortable with dropping C as a priority. It wants to hear from the OPP and whether it intends to keep an office presence in town or not. Reid also raised the admittedly remote specter of rail service returning, which would mean a new town hall built beside railway tracks.

They decided to keep C and D as priority for the time being.

Bourgon also suggested construction begin “when funds become available� after socking away money for a decade. Council opted to build it “as approved by council� instead, leaving the final decision up to elected officials.

News - Out with the old and in with the new; or maybe it’ll be the added upon. Either way Arnprior is getting a new town hall.

At the Sept. 22 regular meeting of council, public works director Guy Bourgon presented

The do-nothing approach won’t work for long, since the province will eventually insist public buildings meet high accessibility standards for the disabled.

Then there’s the possibility of renting the third floor for $20,700 a year, or selling it as is for $1 million, according to an appraiser. (Few, if any, on council believe the building will fetch that much.) More likely the building, constructed in 1888, will be left vacant or converted to a storehouse for the town. Mayor David Reid indicated the property could be used for affordable housing.

Both options A and B were ruled out by council as too expensive and inconvenient. Off-site accommodations would be needed.

That leaves C and D, with Bourgon suggesting the latter is the best choice. “It is important to note that selecting option C

Compared to 2013 remuneration levels, Beakley said the recommendations are “pretty much revenueneutral.�

In making its recommendations, the volunteer panel said the only relevant eastern Ontario data, for purposes of making comparisons, came from the counties of Frontenac, Hastings, Lanark, Lennox and Addington, Northumberland, and Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry.

The lowest incomes, excluding expenses, went to Don Eady of Horton and David Thompson of Deep River with respective amounts of $6,860 and $6,965.

Other recommendations include: • increasing standing committee pay from $1,000 to $1,500; • eliminating the $500 stipend for standing committee vice-chairs, to be replaced by a $140 per diem for each meeting chaired; • increasing the acting warden’s annual salary from zero to $1,200; • increasing the allowable daily rate for meals at a convention from $65 to $75; • establishing the per-diem rate for out-of-county travel at $175; • increasing total allocation for councillor attendance at conventions at $2,750 per year; • not changing life insurance, health and dental plan benefits for councillors and family members. “The goal was to have a fair and reasonable compensation model that recognizes the service that is carried out by the elected officials,â€? said director Beakley. “I think that has been achieved in the recommendation that has been made.â€?

Beakley noted the biggest change, in comparison to past remuneration practices, is the move away from per diems to straight salaries. He called this a wise move that eliminates second-guessing. “From an optics point of view,� said Beakley, “the full and half days

It is expected a new remuneration package will be approved at county council’s Oct. 29 meeting.

The major recommendation may be to increase the warden’s annual salary to $55,000 and elimination of per-diem allowances for meetings.

This compares to a 2013 income for the warden of $49,236 that was based on per diems and salary. Last year the warden had additional expenses of $14,865, the most of any county councillor.

Other councillors’ expenses ranged from $1,443 to $4,120.

Similarly, county councillors would receive $10,000 per year, but no per diems. In 2013, the three highest incomes for councillors (for per diems and salary) went to Bob Sweet of Petawawa, Don Rathwell of Whitewater Region and Walter Stack of Arnprior. Their respective

News – If the recommendations fly, the County of Renfrew will have an improved and simplified remuneration package for its elected officials for next year.

Members of an arms-length panel were appointed to recommend changes to council remuneration following similar work by Renfrew County human resources director Bruce Beakley for various local municipalities.

Beakley also provided direction for the panel that consisted of Merv Beckstead, former CAO for OttawaCarleton, Danielle Thomas, human resources director of the Pembroke Regional Hospital until her retirement this year, and Mitchell Stillman, CAO of Petawawa until his recent retirement.

The panel members summarized their recommendations at the Sept.

Manslaughter plea not a victory for family Continued from front

Gervais has been in custody at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre since his 2013 arrest.

On the night of June 12, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were called to a five-storey apartment building on Russell Street North in Arnprior. Officers found Brodie, an Arnprior District High School graduate, on the ground with critical, life-threatening injuries. He was taken to hospital by paramedics, where he was pronounced dead.

Gervais was arrested two days later in Sault Ste. Marie with the help of that city’s police department after he arrived there on a Greyhound Bus. FILE

TOUGH DAY

Gervais wore a dark suit and white shirt and stood quietly in the prisoner’s box for the proceedings.

At times he nodded at and once mouthed ‘I love you’ to a group of family members seated in the court.

A group of Brodie’s family members was also present.

A seven-day preliminary hearing was scheduled to begin on Sept. 29 but instead Gervais entered his plea.

again. That’s what hurts most,” said Candice.

“My life changed forever June 13 when I found out,” she said.

Her son was just eight months old when his uncle died. She’s heartbroken he won’t know what a great guy Brodie was.

Authorities have never confirmed that drugs were involved in the incident that led to Armstrong’s death but speculation continues to swirl around town and on social media sites.

“People forget Brodie was also an uncle to a little innocent 22-monthold who will only know from people telling him what an incredible, selfless, unforgettable guy his uncle ‘B’ was,” said Candice.

Brodie worked at Brown and Macfarlane glass, a job he loved.

“He was the kind of guy that everybody wanted to be like and be around, he had goals for himself and he was so likeable,” said Candice.

“He was a kind heart and soul and was always smiling.”

She misses golfing, camping and hanging out with her brother.

The past year has been a tough one for her loved ones.

“It has been an awful ordeal,” said Candice.

Sex assault sentencing on hold Staff

News – An Arnprior man was back in Ottawa court last week regarding his sexual assault of teenage boys.

Scott Stanley, who graduated from Arnprior District High School in 2002, pleaded guilty in June to 10 counts of sexual interference, three counts of luring and three counts of invitation to sexual touching.

On Sept. 25, Justice Heather Perkins-McVey said new information was entered in court. It forced her to delay her decision until a yet-to-be determined date.

Stanley was a scout leader and city lifeguard; he admitted to abusing his position of trust to take advantage of the 15-year-old boys he assaulted.

The crown is asking for an eight- to 10-year sentence. The defence prefers three years less one year and a day (for time served.)

Break and enter on River Road News - On Sept. 22, Renfrew OPP officers responded to a residence on River Road in McNab-Braeside Township.

The homeowner arrived home to find two doors to the residence open.

A search of the home was conducted and no suspect was located and nothing appears to have been stolen.

The investigation is continuing. A second break-in was reported at 2:55 p.m. at a residence on Highway 60 in Admaston-Bromley Township. A screen and window were removed to gain entry. Once inside a quantity of cash was stolen. Provincial Constable Bernie Dikih is investigating.

Paramed workers ratify tentative contract Return to work starts by week’s end News - More than 110 workers at Paramed Home Health Care in the Ottawa Valley have ratified a new three-year contract, more than three weeks after walking off the job in a fight for improved wages and benefits.

“I’m pleased that our

members have ratified their new contract,” said Warren (Smokey) Thomas, president of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) which represents the workers. “But there would have been no need for a work stoppage had their international parent company, Ex-

tendicare, directed its subsidiary to bargain seriously from the start. Clearly this is one employer which had no interest in the impact a strike would have on their elderly and infirm clients.”

Striking employees will begin returning to work by the end of this week. Paramed’s home care clients in Renfrew County will see the return of their regular clients over the

News – There is a move afoot to re-establish an Arnprior and area Civitan Club.

Mark Larabie, field director of club development, Canadian East, invites anyone who might be interested in getting involved to a meeting on Monday, Oct. 6 at the Arnprior Public Library.

“It’ll be an information session for people to ask questions and hear answers,” said Larabie.

“Come and find out what Civitan is all about and what being involved means.”

He feels there is room and interest in the area to warrant a club start-up. There was once a thriving Civitan Club in the community and Arnprior once

had the largest youth Civitan Club in the area, said Larabie. “We would also like to invite former members, both junior and senior,” he said.

The time commitment does not have to be substantial. “If you only have an hour or an hour-anda-half a month to spare, that’s ok,” he said. The club continues to grow, said Larabie. A second one was just created in Kingston and last year an LGBT club was established in Lanark. The mission statement is to build good citizenship by providing a volunteer organization of clubs dedicated to serving individual and community needs with an emphasis on helping people with disabilities.

The meeting is at 7 p.m. at the library Oct. 6.

Refreshments will be on offer. Email marklarabie@hotmail.com or call 613-377-1331.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE FLU SEASON

Mammogram Time

Each year, 5-10% of Canadians are affected by influenza or what is commonly referred to as “the flu”. This disease causes missed days at school and work and may require increased visits to the hospital. The vaccine is offered at no cost by The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care and it is available to everyone who is six months of age and older who lives, works or attends school in Ontario.

What is influenza?

Influenza can be a serious respiratory disease that spreads rapidly through sneezing, coughing and through direct contact with objects that have come into contact with the virus. It can affect people that are young and healthy, the elderly or people with chronic conditions. In the elderly or those with chronic illness, influenza can result in serious complications including pneumonia or worsening of their underlying illness. The vaccine is safe for women who are pregnant or breast feeding.

When do people get the flu?

Symptoms start 18 hours to 4 days after exposure to someone with influenza. Influenza does not occur year-round. Almost all influenza occurs in a 10-12 week period sometime between November and March. The beginning of the flu season is usually sometime in late December, but it is different every year.

Why should I take the vaccine?

It will protect you from getting the flu yourself and from spreading it to your family, friends and coworkers.

I received the flu vaccine last year. Do I need it again?

To remain protected, you need to get vaccinated every year. Influenza viruses are always mutating to avoid our immune systems so last year’s vaccine may not provide adequate protection against last year’s flu strain.

What are the side effects of the flu shot?

The most common side effect is a sore arm following vaccination. This usually lasts for a few hours but in some instances may last for few days. Several studies have shown no adverse long term effects. The new purified influenza vaccines that are used do not cause fever, malaise or muscle aches. The flu vaccine contains non-infectious viruses and therefore, it cannot cause influenza.

It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we invite all women over the age of 50 to book an appointment with the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) at 613-623-7962 x359

R0012919534

OBSP is a program of cancer care Ontario. The OBSP provides highquality breast screening for women aged 50-74 years. Breast cancer screening is free of charge for women in Ontario.

OBSP is offered at Arnprior Regional Health and provides: [ high quality mammograms in sites accredited by the Canadian Association of Radiologists; [ Results of the screening appointment within two weeks for both women and healthcare providers. [ help to set up extra tests or referrals if your results suggest they are needed. [ a reminder letter when it is time to return for next screening mammogram. Usually, this is every two years.

Breast Health Guidelines [ know how your breasts normally look and feel. [ know what breast changes to look for, such as: a lump or dimpling. [ changes in your nipple or fluid leaking from the nipple. [ skin changes or redness that does not go away [ any other changes in your breasts.

If you notice ANY changes, see your healthcare provider. Most changes are not cancerous but you should have them checked right away.

If you are 40-49, talk to your healthcare provider about having a mammogram. If you are 50-74, go for a mammogram every two years at the Ontario Breast Screening Program. If you are 30-69 and thing you may be at high risk for breast cancer, talk to your physician about a referral for a yearly mammogram and breast MRI based on family or medical history.

OPINION

Connected to your community

EDITORIAL

A rich rural heritage Opinion - Late summer and early autumn is a time of celebration in the farming community.

Arnprior and area’s proud agricultural heritage is brought to life at a range of regular and special events from the Arnprior Farmers’ Market and Renfrew County Plowing Match to last weekend’s Taste of the Valley event at the Renfrew Armouries and the month-long Rural Ramble.

These events provide an opportunity for people who are far removed from the rural lifestyles of their ancestors to re-connect with our rich rural heritage.

Plowing matches, in particular, show how farming has evolved and demonstrates the great strides made in labour-saving technology.

While the traditional walking and horse-drawn classes are still featured, today’s plowing matches also demonstrate just how far agriculture has come through time.

Rural tourism events are a great chance for people to gather at harvest time to learn more about the fine art of farming and gain an appreciation of farmers’ respect for the land and the fruits of their labour.

Autumn arrived Monday, Sept. 22 at 10:29 p.m. and

as days grow shorter and lights flick on earlier, most often supplemented by the glow of TV screens, it’s easy to imagine the start of some grand hibernation.

But not for the farmer. Days on the farm are long.

In this United Nations International Year of the Family Farm, we note that far too often society forgets or dismisses the year-round effort that goes into this noble and proud work. As the old slogan says, Farmers Feed Cities.

But it’s a two-way street.

A federal election is more than a year away but the battle lines are already being drawn and narrow-minded partisans are salivating at the very thought of the fight.

And the number-one weapon of the mindless political warrior will be wielded – division. Pit old against young.

Rich against poor. Man against woman. And, yes, rural against urban. But the wise voter will be acutely aware of and reject this regressive strategy.

Agriculture is an important industry and rural communities have a strength to be emulated and respected. But its success is inextricably tied to urban success.

When it comes to food security and keeping farms viable there is no us and them, only we.

Zumbathon a success To the Editor, I just wanted to update you on the zumbathon results (held Sunday, Sept. 28).

We raised $212.15 for the Zumba breast cancer prevention research and Susan G Komen for the Cure. These two foundations will work together to fund a study hoping to link flaxseed consumption with lower breast cancer rates.

According to the Susan G. Komen website, there is evidence showing that SGD - a component of flaxseeds - blocks estrogen receptors on breast tissue cells, which could prevent cell damage and possibly stop tumour growth. They are hoping to discover preventative measures that are easily accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.

White Lake is home to a very rare creature Opinion - One thing that I love about the Ottawa Valley is its rich diversity of habitats. It has dark cedar swamps and sun-drenched meadows.

It has remnants of old growth hardwoods, and young mixed woods. Cattail marshes cloak the shores of slow-moving rivers while rugged cliffs border the shores of tranquil lakes.

Then there are peatlands, floating worlds that seldom see the feet of human visitors, and that harbour carnivorous plants and elusive orchids. The two types of peatlands - bogs and fens - are defined by the way nutrients enter their worlds. If only by rainfall, they are true bogs. If by moving ground water, they are fens.

Bogs are dominated by sphagnum moss while fens are rich with sedges. However, the defining criteria are seldom clearcut, and frequently one form of peatland blends into another.

A very special fen lies in a

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way remote bay of White Lake. It is home many orchids and to Elfin Skimmers, the smallest dragonflies in North America.

It is also home to one of the rarest insects on the continent, the Bog Bean Moth.

The moth is found in only two fens in Canada (the other is Richmond Fen) and a handful of others in New England. The moth’s caterpillar, which only eats the leaves of Bog Bean,

is black with branched poison spines surrounded by orange bristles. The adult Bog Bean Moth is a beauty. Its wings are white and black, and its feet and abdomen tip are orange. It belongs to the Silk Moth family, which also contains Lunas and Cecropia.

But the Bog Bean Moth is smaller than its giant cousins, and unlike them and most other moths, it flies during the day.

The moth appears in late September, which is why I recently made a trip to the White Lake Fen accompanied by three outstanding lepidopterists: Maxim Larivée, Chris Schmidt, and Rick Cavasin.

We were hoping to observe the moths and acquire a few photos.

After bushwhacking through a dense fir and cedar swamp we arrived at the open fen.

With every step the floating mat sunk under our feet so we stuck to the deer trails that me-

advertise their receptiveness by releasing sexual perfumes known as pheromones. The males’ huge antennae detect

these olfactory love songs.

It seemed very few females were available that day, for the males seldom landed. Fortunately, the few that did posed nicely for us. Only one mating pair was found but it seemed camera shy. It was likely that the moths had only started emerging from their cocoons, and that more would be flying in the days proceeding our outing.

The Bog Bean Moth remains a scientifically unnamed species. It is near identical to another species that feeds on different plants. But with its dependency on Bog Bean and its isolation from the other species, the Bog Bean Moth, if not already a new species, will eventually become one over the course of time.

Blimkie puts experience first in re-election bid Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Incumbent Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie wants the next council to be an experienced and objective team ready to face known challenges in McNab-Braeside.

Just finishing up her first term on council, Blimkie said it will be a struggle to find an additional $120,000 a year for OPP costs alone, given that a one per cent increase on the tax base brings in a mere $33,000. Then there is the provincial policy statement released last April, and how the township’s official plan and zoning bylaws will align with a document she says has the end game of moving people to cities and corporations to even more mineral and forestry extraction.

It takes a passion for municipal politics and a level headed person to navigate the issues to come following the Oct. 27 election.

“I have the experience. I love planning. I have a no

nonsense, pretty direct approach,” Blimkie said. “A lot of people are passionate about their concern. But what’s best for the whole, that’s what you have to do as a councillor. You are making decisions that apply to the township as a whole.”

Although seen as abrasive by some, she insists that the welfare of the whole is what matters most - and that she has and will continue to strive for that.

“I have a vision for what is good for the township,” she said. “I will always put the township first.”

Blimkie was chair of the now-imploded economic development committee. Members resigned en masse primarily for getting the cold shoulder from the township.

They submitted a letter suggesting a hired consultant, developer Bruce Firestone, had the ear of council more than local business people.

Blimkie said the group should have better understood their “advisory” role. They were not to command elected

officials.

“You are advisors on an advisory committee. You will advise,” she said. “One person accused me of being ‘a politician’. I said thank you.

That was the biggest compliment I could get. Because that’s what a politician does.

They look out for everyone’s best interests.”

Another advisory committee, this one having to do with recreation services, also had members upset with Blimkie’s style. But she insists the committee is back on track and “thrilled” with money going toward upgrades at Braeside’s RA Centre and other areas.

Blimkie has been seen as the most ardent opponent to the recreation and library services agreements. She once touted a user-pay system as superior, and opposed seeking an arbitrator’s intervention. She backs away from the user-pay approach this election period, but insists no homeowner would enter a contractual agreement that increases by 7 per cent per year without knowing exactly

what is being purchased.

“If I sign a contract I need to know what I’m buying.”

Blimkie, who grew up in McNab and now lives within the Braeside Quarry expansion area of influence, said she voted in favour of a permanent asphalt plant in a bid to gain more controls over it.

She was one of two on council to vote against Miller Group’s proposed expansion.

The last four years have brought about some turbulence in McNab-Braeside.

Blimkie said there have been some victories too, including subdivision growth and community design plans that manage growth in the hamlets.

“I think we’ve made improvements in the township,” Blimkie said. “I know some don’t want it, but you have to have growth in order to pay for the things you need. The key is to do it so that you keep your rural roots.”

The Arnprior & District Fish and Game Club would like to extend a sincere thank you to local area businesses and individuals who sponsored and or donated prizes and auction items to our dinner held on 06-09-2014. Without your support we would not have been able to have an event of such calibre.

Time for a clean sweep: Armsden Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – Brian Armsden is in favour of a clean sweep at the township council table.

Armsden has joined the race for deputy mayor in McNab-Braeside.

The 45-year-old has been married to wife Julie for 13 years and the couple has three children: Everett, 12, Sadie, 10, and Ella, 8. The Arnprior District High School graduate was raised in Sandy Hook and now lives in Braeside.

“There’s a real need for change and I don’t think that recycling an incumbent deputy mayor or incumbent councillor will bring about the change that’s needed for the community,” said Armsden.

How he arrived in politics was via his volunteer role with the township’s recreation committee and joint advisory committee struck to examine shared recreation and library agreements between Arnprior and McNab-Braeside.

Armsden became frustrated when council decided to end shared agreements with Arnprior and Renfrew and issued a survey to ratepayers without consulting the committee.

“It became rather frustrating that

we weren’t asked for our opinion on some significant issues,” he said.

Armsden eventually found himself spokesperson of MB4RR (McNabBraeside Residents for Reading and Recreation).

The group collected and presented a petition to council with 2,200 signatures asking for transfer agreements to be extended for one year, but the township didn’t budge on the issue, he said.

“To hear that voice ignored was just enough for me to say ‘You need to get in and try to change this,’” said Armsden. “It’s so undemocratic to see that happen and frustrating that it seems the current people on council don’t’ seem to want to listen to the opinions of other people.”

Aside from four years of postsecondary education in Toronto, Armsden is a lifelong resident of the area. The federal public servant has been with Public Works and Government Services Canada for the past 12 years. Before that he worked as a project manager for Nortel. He’s recently taken on a new job as an asset manager responsible for facilities management in various buildings.

His work experience allows him a unique skill set that will aid him in a deputy mayor role. “With that there

are significant budgets I’m responsible for and human resources management I’m responsible for,” said Armsden.

And while recreation is certainly a key issue in the township, it’s not the only one that’s a focus for Armsden.

The Miller quarry expansion near Braeside is of concern to all residents.

“The problem is that if the water table is affected by an asphalt, concrete plant or quarrying out of the aggregate itself and the people around that area don’t have access to clean water, the township will have to provide that and everyone’s taxes will spike,” said Armsden. “And all because council decided to side with Miller. If I’m going to get into a fight, I’m going to get into a fight on behalf of our citizens. I’d rather lose fighting for our constituents than win fighting for a conglomerate.”

Growing the community is also a key issue. “We’re losing out on an opportunity for economic development,” he said. “I don’t think we’re promoting our community as well as we should be. We’re 20 minutes from Kanata just like everybody else. Why people don’t know what we have to offer as a community is a blemish on our council.”

Members of the township’s economic development committee resigned en masse, said Armsden.

“And again it goes back to not listening to volunteers,” he said. “Why would you ignore our community leaders on the economy.”

According to Armsden, there is a demographic missing on council – young families.

“It’s a jewel of a place to live, we’ve got so much to offer,” said Armsden. “I don’t think that gearing our community housing to seniors is the way to go. I’d like to be a voice for the generation of 20-45-year-olds.

Nobody on our council represents them. I know exactly the struggles families go through.”

Armsden said he was raised to give back to his community. His father Bruce is a well-known local volunteer.

“My dad volunteered either through the Arnprior Packers or with St. John Ambulance for decades. It was sort of instilled in me to give back and to volunteer your time.”

He has been volunteering for minor hockey for the past six years his son has been playing, acting as team manager, on-ice assistant and in fundraising roles and has spent nine years as a McNab-Braeside minor

BRIAN ARMSDEN softball league coach.

His decision to seek the deputy mayor role is about making the community a better place for everyone, said Armsden.

In terms of his fellow candidates, Armsden supports Tom Peckett in his bid for mayor. Peckett was a member of MB4RR who put in countless hours of his time, said Armsden.

“I would definitely put my name beside Tom’s,” he said.

Arnprior, Carp host world championship of orienteering 600 athletes to take control of the streets of Arnprior Sports - Thanksgiving Weekend this year will see Arnprior and West Carleton come alive with more than turkey dinners.

Some of the best orienteers in North America and the world will descend on the area for the biennial North American Orienteering Championships (NAOC), the largest competition for this sport on the continent.

From Oct. 10 to 13 athletes will be centered in the town and will compete in four races: two in Carp and two in central Arnprior. This will signal the first time the International Orienteering Federation is sanctioning the championships and the town of Arnprior and the Ottawa Valley’s local club, Orienteering Ottawa, are using that to take the sport to the next level in Canada.

A hugely popular sport in Europe it is only starting to take off this side of the Atlantic. Orienteering is a running sport involving navigating (usually through the woods) from point to point using a map and compass. Orienteering Ottawa is one of the largest, most active and most successful clubs in all of North America and has helped spark interest in the sport in Arnprior.

The weekend kicks off with an opening ceremony on Friday at the Nick Smith Centre in

Arnprior, the NAOC Event Centre. Following that there will be several opportunities for the public to be a part of NAOC2014.

These include spectating at Robert Simpson Park or the closed streets of downtown for the high energy and spectator friendly sprint and relay races on Monday or venturing to the Carp Ridge the two days prior for the more traditional forest races.

There will also be chances to get to know the orienteering athletes at two after hours concerts at the Nick Smith Centre - Friday features the Ottawa band The Orienteers, who wrote the NAOC2014 theme song and Sunday will see Ottawa’s Glebop Jazz Quartet take the stage.

With the best North American orienteers vying for places on Teams Canada and USA and some of the best elite orienteers from Switzerland, Sweden, France, UK and New Zealand (too name a few) looking to show off the weekend will be a great showcase for the sport and a great showcase for the town of Arnprior.

If you would like to try out orienteering to see what all the fuss is you can attend one of our family friendly Sunday morning events in Ottawa, prior to NAOC or we would be happy to have you participate in one of the events as our guest.

A special occasion and milestone was celebrated this past September 13th by Willis and Dodie Gourlay at their home close by the historic Madawaska River. Willisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 90th birthday (September 10) and Dodieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 86th birthday (September 9) were marked with a special afternoon party held for family members, former and new neighbours, and friends.

The party was planned and organized by Susan (daughter) and husband Michael Berberick of Hamilton, Ontario. It was a very amiable happy gathering as all present enjoyed fine food, much picture taking and of course sharing the birthday cake.

Granddaughter Stephanie and her young Jones family of Jack (3+) and Willow (3 months) the great grandchildren were the first to sample the cake!

Willis and Dodie wish to thank all those at the party and also those in distant locations who sent â&#x20AC;&#x153;best wishesâ&#x20AC;?, cards and gifts.

It is truly wonderful to have such a great family, caring, neighbours and many friends across our great land.

IN MEMORIAM

He had a nature you could not help loving, And a heart that was purer than gold, To those who knew him and loved him, His memory will never grow cold, He bade no one a last farewell, He said good-bye to none, The heavenly gates were opened wide, And a loving voice said “Come”.

Sadly missed for nineteen long years, Mom and Families

IN MEMORIAM

CLR556768-1002

In memory of my dear father; The years have swiftly passed away, But still, I don’t forget, For in the heart that loved you best, Your memory lingers yet.

You did so many things for me Dad, Your heart was kind and true And when I needed someone, I could always count on you.

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.

Missed, loved and remembered.

Your daughter Moya

In loving memory of Allan “Pat” Soucy September 26, 2013 The moment that you died My heart was torn in two, One side filled with heartache, The other died with you.

I often lie 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 everyday, But missing you is heartache That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart And there you will remain.

Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again.

Miss you & love you Yvonne, John and Susan

In loving memory of my dear husband and best friend We took our vows together, Said “Til death do us part” But when God came and took your hand, My whole world fell apart.

No one knows the heartache, I try so hard to hide, Only God knows how many times I’ve broken down and cried.

When I look back upon our lives, One of the things that makes me glad, Is that you chose me to share with you The precious years we had.

Till we meet again Love always Gail

YORK, Jamie Angus In loving memory of our dear Jamie who left us so suddenly and tragically while at work, October 6, 2009.

He is gone, but not forgotten, And, as it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near.

Days of sadness will come o’er us, Many think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow, That lies in the heart concealed.

Delanie and son Graysen Mom and Dad Jason and Maneau Rod

Twenty five years have gone by, Since you were called away.

How well we do remember, That somber autumn day.

Thoughts of you are always near, And memories brought to mind.

Days we do not think of you, Are very hard to find.

A helping hand to all you knew, The heart that won many friends.

A man so kind, and full of life, Too young for it to end.

No longer in our lives to share, Your face we cannot see.

But in our hearts you are always there, For that, we remember thee.

Gone but never forgotten Louise, Tracey & Stephanie CLR556580_opt1

Prior Players of Arnprior stage Norm Foster’s Hilda’s Yard Arts - The Prior Players of Arnprior are pleased to announce rehearsals for their upcoming autumn production are now well underway. The Players will be presenting Norm Foster’s heart-warming comedy Hilda’s Yard.

The play is set in 1956 where Hilda and Sam Fluck (Elaine Lowe and Dave Anthony) are finally on their own after their children Gary (Mike Poehlmann) and Janey (Amanda Dixie) have left the nest. Then, on a September morning, their world changes when both kids land back at their doorstep. With additional characters Bobbi Jakes (Nadia Ouellet) and Beverly Woytowich (Alan Rowsom) adding witty banter to the day anything can, and does, happen!

Prior Players are happy to bring Elaine Lowe back into the fold as title character Hilda Fluck. Lowe has appeared in many productions in the area including, but by no means limited to, My Fair Lady with the Two Rivers Musical Productions earlier this year. She is also well sought after with many volunteer commitments in the community, making her involvement in our production even more exciting!

President of Prior Players and returning veteran Dave Anthony will also be starring as Hilda’s husband Sam Fluck.

Anthony has been involved in

Mall and at Bonnie Jane’s Scones in downtown Arnprior from Monday Oct. 6. Reserve

your seats by calling 613-6235585. Tickets are also available at the CEC door prior to

show time on any performance night.

Cross-Canada canoeist Mike Ranta, complete with his birch-bark hat sewn with spruce roots, stops at the Arnprior Marina with his faithful companion Spitzii, at his familiar position at the front of the canoe.

JOHN CARTER/ METROLAND

Adventurer canoes through area in bid for world record John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

News - A modern day voyageur has made a stop in Arnprior on a cross-Canada solo canoe trip that is aimed at setting a Guinness world record.

Solo? Not exactly. Mike Ranta is being accompanied on his epic 8,000-kilometre trip by his canine companion Spitzii.

The pair paddled up to the Arnprior Marina Sept. 12 to be greeted by Doug Mitchell of

McNab-Braeside, a friend of his father.

The next day rain forced in impromptu stop at a “pizza joint” in Fitzroy Harbour before he portaged around Chats Falls and paddled along West Carleton, where he saw an “awesome rainbow,” and into Ottawa.

During the stop in Arnprior, he was treated to a much welcomed lasagna dinner with Mitchell and his aunt and uncle Lee and Skip Meany from Smiths Falls.

The three have strong connections to Atikokan, Ontario, the self-proclaimed Canoeing

Capital of Canada, which Ranta calls home.

Canoeing is in the blood of the 42-year-old, who three years ago canoed 5,000 kilometres from Rocky Mountain House to Montreal.

This time he started in Vancouver and is headed to Cape Breton Island as he attempts to set the record for longest solo canoe trip, owned by a British female adventurer who canoed the length of the Amazon River. If his trip is accepted, he already broke the record when he crossed into Ontario.

Ranta would like to be back in his canoe in

2016, to encourage the return of a Canada-wide canoe race in 2017 for Canada’s 150th birthday.

In the Centennial Voyageur Canoe Pageant in 1967, 100 canoeists representing eight provinces and two territories raced over close to 5,500 kilometres in 104 days.

The race paid homage to the fur-trading voyageurs and explorers who opened up the country.

Canoeist promotes Great Canoe race for Canada’s 150th birthday Continued from Page 29

The Atikokan adventurer is hoping to get federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, an avid canoeist, interested in reviving the race as a way of inspiring Canadian pride and raising awareness of its history when rivers were the main transportation corridors for the fledgling country.

“What’s more Canadian than canoeing around the country … I’d like people to start a dialogue about having another (canoe race) challenge in 2017,” he said.

On this trip, Ranta is raising funds for youth initiatives back in Atikokan. One of his projects, if enough money is raised, is for local youth to build the world’s largest paddle. Having a giant paddle at the entrance to town can help promote the area’s various recreation offerings and be a tourist attraction much like the Wawa goose or the Sudbury nickel, he notes.

But what he would really like his journey to do is inspire youth to follow their dreams and embark on their own adventures. “I want them to realize that anything is possible if you set your mind to it,” he said. “Have your own adventure … you can do anything in this country.”

Ranta also wants his trip to impress on Canadians how important the rivers, forests, plains and wildlife were to the country’s past and continue to be to Canada’s future.

“This trip has really got me in touch with Mother Nature,” he said. “All along the birds and the animals are saying things to me … mostly we have to take care of what we’ve got.”

The main message he wants

I want them to realize that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. Have your own adventure … you can do anything in this country.

MIKE RANTA

to share is that preserving nature should be more important to Canadians than building pipelines and other economic endeavours that threaten the environment. As his Metis traditions have taught him, “we always have to give thanks to the Creator … by respecting nature,” he added.

Ranta began his trip in Vancouver on April 1, canoeing up the Fraser River, before portaging across the mountains to the Similkameen River, then the Okanagan and into the Columbia system.

His longest portage was over the Rocky Mountains to the North Saskatchewan River, which took him across the Prairies. He then canoed the Red River, Lake of the Woods (there was one big party when he reached Atikokan), Lake Superior, Lake Nipissing, and the Mattawa and Ottawa rivers.

At last report, he was on the St. Lawrence River, heading for the Gaspe. He will portage across to the St. John River system, then put in some ocean paddling before finishing his marathon at Dominion Beach in Cape Breton.

He expects his journey will take about 200 days, but he won’t be paddling any later than Oct. 31.

He camps along the way, relying on Mother Nature and the kindness of strangers. “Canadians are a wonderful people … so generous and wel-

coming,” he says. He lost his wallet near Quetico Provincial Park, but it was returned the next day with more money in it than before.

His only problem was in a park on Lake Superior when a by-the-rules bureaucrat said he couldn’t stop for the night in the middle of a storm.

Ranta and Spitzii, a Finnish JOHN CARTER/METROLAND Spitz breed, have had plenty Welcoming Mike Ranta and Spitzii to Arnprior are his uncle Skip and aunt Lee Meany and of adventures along the way, Doug Mitchell. including flipping the canoe in British Columbia, meeting a bear in the Rockies, finding a body in Alberta, having coyotes nipping at their tent in Saskatchewan, and being slowed down several times in what has been a wetter and stormier Canadian summer than usual.

Change in season brought relief for Father Lifestyle - The old maple tree in the front yard had turned crimson, and all around the farm, that year, I could tell that soon we would be settling in for the cold days of Fall, and then Winter would be upon us.

The season’s change had come as a great relief to me, although I still waited for signs from Father that all was well.

You see, it was the height of the Depression, and every day I knew was a challenge for him... a challenge to survive yet another year, and then a comfort to know that the summer had yielded good crops and the winter ahead would be one of contentment.

That didn’t mean of course, that there wouldn’t be work to be done. The long winter months would be filled with chores, but there wouldn’t be days of worry about a drought that could wipe out the fields of grain, or endless rain equally as damaging.

Winter would be a time of catching up on fixing brokendown stalls in the cow byre, hauling in wood from the bush, and fixing harnesses, and mending aging machinery.

But by the time the end of summer was upon us, I could see a change in Father. Although he talked little about it, I knew

MARY COOK Memories just by looking at him, that his mind for months had been on survival. The summer months could make or break us, and I was old enough to sense in Father an uneasiness at the end of each day.

His days, during those summer months began before daybreak, as he strived to make use of every waking hour while the weather held.

At night, as the darkness descended on us, I would watch Father go to the back door and look out at the sky, looking for any sign that the weather would change and we would be faced with torrential rain. Or he would look for clouds if we were going through a dry spell that threatened to rob us of the grain that would see us through another winter.

It seemed to me back then, that once the trees had turned, Father looked different, and he acted differently than he did on the days that had gone before us.

He still went to the barns

every night to check on the animals in the barns, but he no longer looked anxiously out at the night sky, trying to read what the next day would bring.

I thought, back then, by the time the Fall weather was ready to settle in, that his face didn’t wear the weariness I saw nightly during the summer.

He ate his supper more slowly, and I was quick to notice every page of the Ottawa Farm Journal was read, and he stayed longer in the old rocking chair by the Findlay Oval, as the darkness of the Fall night closed in around us.

And once he had taken one last trip out to the barns, instead of heading right for his bed, he lingered in the kitchen, lighting his pipe, and taking one last cup of green tea.

And I would know. I would know without asking why this change in Father from one season to the next was taking place.

The hay mow would be full, and there was no worry that we would not have enough hay to feed our animals over the long winter.

Grain would be plentiful.

The cows would be healthy and ready to give us milk for our own use, and to take to the creamery.

That year, it had been a good season. One amongst few in those Depression years. With enough feed to care for our livestock until the next crop was ready, the cellar full of vegetables and preserves, the meat house full of meat, and barrels of salt pork and sauerkraut at the ready; we had survived another year.

And when I sat at the old pine table, as darkness came to the kitchen, I would look over at Father in the rocking chair, and I would say my silent thanks, and I would know why his face no longer had that weary look, nor would his eyes be heavy from the lack of sleep.

The time to worry was over.

All that could be done to survive had been done. There was nothing left to do, but cherish the warmth of home, and give grateful thanks. That one year in those lean 30’s, I knew in my very young heart, just looking at the change in Father, we had been blessed beyond measure.

to celebrate, not just because of all the programs they have to offer the community, but for all the support they have received over the years from the community.

“The business folks as well as the public have been generous,” said Dennis Harrington, executive director. “Without the financial and volunteer support we would not be able to complete our mission.”

The administration and delivery of client centred home support services to encourage independent living and enhance the quality of life of seniors and individuals with special needs.

Two of these programs that are to be highlighted in October are ‘Meals on Wheels’ and Transportation.

MEALS ON WHEELS

The delivery of ‘Hot Meals on Wheels’ in Arnprior has become truly a vital service for many adult residents of Arnprior.

‘Hot Meals on Wheels’ includes hot nutritious meals cooked fresh daily at The Grove and consists of: soup, crackers, a hot main course, dinner roll and dessert. The program is available to: seniors 60 years of age or older, adults who are chronically ill, adults living with a disability,

adults convalescing from surgery or illness, and adults undergoing medical treatments (no matter the age).

The meals are delivered to clients Monday to Friday between 11 am and 12 noon by dedicated volunteers of ABMSHP. Clients can order meals for any or all five days at the cost of $7 per meal (this is a new price - previously $8) comes into effect Oct. 1, 2014). Special diets and allergies can be accommodated. Clients must reside within the town of Arnprior with the service being requested by the individual, family members, friends or any health care personnel.

SOYBEAN HARVEST 2014 NEW HOURS OF OPERATION 7am to 7pm of continuous operations!

4 time blocks to choose from

Ontario government tax credit only one of its kind in Canada News - A new tax credit is helping put nutritious, fresh, locally grown food on the plates of those who need it most.

The Food Donation Tax Credit for Farmers - the only one of its kind in Canada - is giving farmers a tax credit valued at 25 per cent of the fair market value of the agricultural products they donate to community food programs, including food banks and student nutrition programs.

The tax credit is a part of the Ontario

government’s local food strategy and Local Food Act, 2013 to promote the good things that are grown and harvested across the province.

Building a stronger agri-food industry is part of the government’s economic plan to support a dynamic and innovative business climate, invest in people and invest in infrastructure.

“This new tax credit is an integral part of our government’s commitment to support

farmers, increase access to nutritious, locally grown food and promote the good things that are grown right across the province,” said — Jeff Leal, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

“This new tax credit will help farmers donate more fresh food to their local food banks, which will support our farmers, drive local economic growth, and benefit families in communities across the province,” said Charles Sousa, Minister of Finance.

JAIL BREAK

Metroland East Special Report

Barring treatment for the mentally ill Prisons are the new institutions for people with mental-health issues, say critics of Canada’s penal policies Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

T

he day she learned her son was laying in a catatonic state in his prison cell, Farhat Rehman became an advocate for the rights of prisoners with mentalhealth problems.

Rehman remembers sitting nervously in the waiting room of Millhaven Institution, a federal maximumsecurity prison in Bath, Ont., near Kingston, last February.

Rehan Kurd had been convicted of second-degree murder and given a life sentence in 2005 with no possibility of parole for 15 years. While suffering from delusions, caused by his schizophrenia, Kurd had stabbed to death his friend and mentor Mohammed Khalil in Ottawa on Feb. 27, 2001.

It had only been a few months since Kurd had been transferred to Millhaven from Kingston Penitentiary, which shut down in November 2013.

The 42-year-old Ottawa man had served eight years at the Kingston Penitentiary’s regional treatment centre, which provided psychiatric care.

When the penitentiary closed in the fall of 2013, Kurd was moved to Millhaven, where his physical and mental health rapidly deteriorated, said his mother.

Doped up on risperidone, an antipsychotic used to treat his schizophrenia, he spent up to 24 hours a day laying on his bed in his prison cell.

Kurd had been placed in solitary confinement several times over the years – for as long as two to three months at a time, said Rehman.

In the past, Kurd had occasionally suffered bouts of illness during which he would sometimes “get loud,” said his mother, resulting in his transfer to the acute-care centre in the Kingston Penitentiary, where he was put in solitary confinement and kept under 24hour observation by a video camera.

The last time she had visited her son, in January 2014, Kurd was so groggy from the side effects of his medication, he could barely speak,

Rehan Kurd’s health rapidly deteriorated when he was transferred last year from the regional treatment centre at Kingston Penitentiary to Millhaven Institution, a maximum-security jail, says his mother and Ottawa resident, Farhat Rehman, who has since begun advocating for his transfer to a hospital.

al Service Canada is in the process of decommissioning some of those beds.

“We’ve already identified that the CSC doesn’t have enough treatment beds to meet demand, but they’re actually closing some anyway,” said Sapers. “And it’s not because they’re empty right now, it’s just for other operational reasons, which only the Correctional Service Canada could explain.”

The CSC has come to the conclusion it has too many psychiatric beds based on the ratio of beds to the general population of Canada. The problem is you’re comparing apples to oranges, he said.

“They are actually quite candid in saying this is a work in process, that they’re trying to get the balance right.” said Sapers. “But my caution to them is, ‘Don’t experiment with people’s lives. If you’re trying to get the balance right, do your homework and then make your changes. Don’t make them running changes and put people at risk.’”

JAIL BREAK A four-part series about recidivism in Ontario

Part 3: The press for changes to Canada’s prison system and how it treats prisoners with mental-health issues. said Rehman.

“He was falling asleep on his stool,” she said. “He couldn’t talk to me.”

Rehman had arranged an open visit with her son on Feb. 20, so they could sit together not separated by a glass partition and speak without the need for a telephone.

While she waited, a correctional officer appeared, asking her to follow him to his office.

“I’m sorry, but I went to get your son and he’s not responding,” the officer said, according to Rehman. “I think he’s comatose or something.

He’s not responding.”

A doctor came into the room and explained that her son refused to take his medication, clozaril, an antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia in adults, so he was put back on risperidone, which caused drowsiness.

She begged the doctor to let her see her son and tell him she was there.

After another half hour his son ap-

peared in a closed visiting room.

“So I was put back into the enclosed (area) behind the glass, but at least I saw him,” said Rehman. “I talked to him and he was feeling groggy.”

During the three-hour drive home to Ottawa from the prison, Rehman heard a radio report that the federal government was funding two psychiatric beds for female prisoners at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre in Brockville.

“That was so hopeful for me,” said Rehman. “This is the time I can (start advocating) for my son.”

Rehman soon started writing letters to the Office of the Correctional Investigator of Canada, the federal and provincial ministries of correctional services, anyone who might be able to help her son.

The Office of the Correctional Investigator of Canada has since recommended Kurd receive care in a hospital, said his mother.

Kurd is just one of approximately three-dozen inmates serving time in Canada’s federal prisons who should receive care at a hospital, said Howard Sapers, the Correctional Investigator of Canada.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that we have individuals who will not benefit from a period of incarceration in any way,” he said. “Their mental illness will prevent them from being able to participate in any programming that would address their criminogenic needs and these are people who are profoundly mentally ill and diagnosed with significant psychiatric disorders and they need to be hospitalized.”

Sapers has also recommended federal jails stop the use of long solitary confinements of offenders with acute mental-health needs.

LACK OF BEDS

With a population of approximately 15,244 inmates, about 12 per cent, or 1,829 inmates, will be diagnosed with a significant mental illness, such as schizophrenia or major depressive disorder, said Sapers.

This translates into the need for a corresponding number of psychiatric inpatient beds, however the five regional treatment centres in Canada’s federal prison system only have approximately 675 beds – less than half what is needed.

To make matters worse, Correction-

Correctional Service Canada is also struggling to hire the needed psychiatrists and psychologists.

“We’re seeing some big vacancies in some occupational groups,” said Sapers.

Last year, 10 per cent of the correctional services’ psychologist positions were left vacant, and the vacancy rate of other health-care workers – from nurses and pharmacists to doctors and social workers – hovered between five and 10 per cent.

Not only are these rates high, they don’t show the reality of the staffing gap, said Sapers.

“Some of the positions, which have been vacant for a long time have simply been eliminated,” said Sapers.

“So it makes your vacancy rate look smaller if you just stop trying to fill the position.”

Meanwhile, some of the positions have been underfilled, he said, meaning the correctional service has hired people with psychology degrees but who are not licensed by the provincial governing body for psychologists.

“And it’s not just psychologists,” said Sapers.

In the past, the correctional service has hired people with lesser credentials than required to do a job, which means they must fall under the supervision of someone who is qualified.

Metroland East Special Report

Continued from Page 50

During the past decade, Canadian jails have seen an alarming increase in the number of inmates with mental illnesses.

Nearly half of all incarcerated federal offenders receive a mentalhealth service, according to statistics provided by the federal prisons’ ombudsman.

Correctional Service Canada estimates 13 per cent of male offenders and 29 per cent of female offenders in federal custody have mental-health problems when they are admitted to prison. These rates have doubled since 1996.

Meanwhile, one in four inmates in Ontario’s provincial jails have been identified as having a possible mental-health issue, according to the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

Over the last decade, Correctional Service Canada has received approximately $50 million in shortterm funding to improve mentalhealth care delivered in federal prisons – $30 million for community mental-health funding and $21.5 million to fund key elements of its strategy, such as computer mentalscreening and training of front-line staff.

The correctional department received a further $16.6 million a year, this time in permanent funding, for institutional mental-health services in 2009.

But the federal government has a lot of catching up to do, according to a 2010 review of the CSC’s mental-health strategy commissioned by the federal prisons’ ombudsman.

“The government will need to invest significant amounts of money in mental health to make up for the decades of neglect to bring the (CSC) to a level of best practices and professional standards,” said John Service, in his report, Under Warrant, A Review of the Correctional Service of Canada’s Mental Health Strategy. “These investments will have to be made quickly and continue over the next decade or two.”

Too often, security trumped treatment, stated the report.

“CSC mental-health staff members were clear that too often security issues impede or prevent offenders from accessing programs and treatment, often for days and weeks at a time,” states the report.

The federal prisons’ ombudsman has recommended the CSC consider offering alternative forms of treatment, such as external healthcare providers, in some instances.

The CSC has rejected the recommendation.

HOWARD SAPERS

HEATHER STUART

In 2011, a CSC consultant’s report concluded that a full transfer of CSC health services to other health-care authorities was impractical because Canada doesn’t have a national health-delivery authority.

Instead, Correctional Service Canada is always looking to develop partnerships with other agencies that provide mental health-care services, stated the CSC in response to the federal prisons’ ombudsman’s 2011-12 report.

For instance, Institut Philippe-Pinel, a forensic hospital in Montreal, provides inpatient psychiatric care to female offenders.

In federal prisons, most mentalhealth care is provided at one of the five regional treatment centres, where inmates receive treatment before being returned to the general prison population.

But services are in such high demand, the offenders are often released too early, according to a 2013 report by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

“The high demand on (regional treatment centre) services also means that they are only available to those with the most acute mental illnesses and other inmates are left untreated or with a limited clinical attention,” states the report. “These offenders receive very little mental-health services and are instead placed in segregation as a security measure.”

On the provincial side, all inmates in Ontario jails have access to a variety of mental-health supports, including psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers, said Andrew Morrison, a spokesman for the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

Corrections officers are also trained to detect possible signs of mental illness, he added.

Ontario jails have access to four specialized treatment centres for inmates with mental-health needs, he said, and the ministry partners with various social service agencies to provide the necessary programs and services when they are in custody and to assist them when they are discharged.

The province has invested $50 million since 2004 to expand community services such as crisis teams, dedicated beds, mental-health court workers, case managers and supportive housing.

But services provided in provincial jails are inconsistent at best, according to a 2012 study by the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario.

“Offenders with mental illness are extremely vulnerable in the federal and provincial corrections systems,” concluded the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health report. “Inmates with mental illness do not manage well in prison as demonstrated through disruptive behaviour, aggression, violence, withdrawal and refusal or inability to follow orders and rules.”

FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS

The influx of prisoners identified as needing mental-health services isn’t a recent issue, according to Service, a former executive director of the Canadian Psychological Association.

This is a problem that has been decades in the making, starting in the 1960s with the deinstitutionalization of people with mentalhealth disorders across Canada, he states in his Under Warrant report.

With the advent of improved psychological care and pharmaceuticals, patients could receive treatment within their communities.

This worked for some, states the report, but “at the same time, many people with mental-health problems and disorders were left languishing, not receiving the treatment they needed and consequently coming to the attention of police and the courts.”

Critics of the federal government’s tough-on-crime legislation say a large percentage of offenders with mental-health issues are falling through the cracks of a system lacking necessary treatment and support.

Mental-health factors do not provide a strong indication of whether an inmate will reoffend, according to Public Safety Canada’s analysis

of a collection of international studies on risk factors for recidivism among “mentally disordered offenders,” carried out between 1959 and 2011.

Some people with mental illnesses may commit a crime or “behave in ways that draw police attention,” according to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

“How police respond to these interactions is an early predictor of one’s likelihood to be further involved in the justice system,” the centre’s report stated.

Heather Stuart, a professor of community health and epidemiology at Queen’s University, who holds the Bell Canada mental health and anti-stigma research chair, said that 60 to 80 per cent of people in jails and prisons would meet the criteria for having a mental disorder.

“That suggests to me that there is a high recidivism,” she said.

“It used to be that people would be in hospitals in the past, a lot of them, and so the theory goes – it’s called a balloon theory – and if you squeeze the balloon at one end the air goes out the other end, so there’s a certain number of people that may need institutional supports,” she said.

“When we closed the hospitals, we took those institutional supports away from them and we didn’t put any supports in the community to help them out to replace the hospitals,” said Stuart.

“A lot of them end up in jails, just because they’re out in the community.”

Farhat Rehman tried to find help in the community for her son – as a child he was referred to a family psychiatrist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and as an adult he was later diagnosed with depression and obsessive compulsive disorder.

“My son’s diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder was only confirmed in the assessment after he was apprehended in February 2001,” said Rehman.

Prisoners with mental-health issues who are judged not criminally responsible receive treatment in prisons and the possibility of leading a productive life, she said.

“But for those like my son, there seems to be nothing available except for a punishment model that results in lasting damage and no end to their incarceration.”

John XXIII laces up for Terry Fox

KIM IZSAK

On a beautiful Wednesday, Sept. 24, the entire St. John XXIII Catholic School community completed a 20-minute run around the school yard in support of Terry Fox and cancer research. Earlier in the school week, the school had an assembly reminding students of the important cause that inspired Terry Fox. Students were reminded that it was because of his passion and belief in such a worthy cause that millions of people of Canada and around the world still perform a yearly Terry Fox run. Students were challenged to bring in a ‘Toonie for Terry’ to give to the Terry Fox Foundation. The school surpassed that goal – raising over $578.

RCCDSB secondary school students surpass provincial test results News - Renfrew County Catholic District School Board officials are delighted with secondary students’ achievements in all three standardized, province-wide tests for Grade 9 in 2013–14.

“We’re very proud,” comments chair Bob Michaud.

“The positive results are a testament to both a long-term commitment on the part of our teachers and the hard work of our students.”

The provincial EQAO (Education Quality and Accountability Office) secondary results were officially released Sept. 24). Grade 9 students in

Renfrew County’s Catholic schools exceeded the overall province’s grades in applied and academic math, and the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT).

Michele Arbour, RCCDSB Director of Education, remarks “Our team of hard-working professionals is devoted to student engagement and achievement supported by 21st century learning environments.

Their efforts inspire us.”

The results will now be reviewed at the board and school levels to inform a continuous improvement cycle.

“While we are very pleased with these results, we will use them to guide us as we take the next steps and develop new strategies to ensure that our students reach their full potential,” notes Superintendent of Educational Services Jaimie Perry.

The following results indicate the percentage of students at or above the provincial standard. * Applied math: RCCDSB 80%; provincial 47% * Academic math: RCCDSB 86%; provincial 85% * OSSLT: RCCDSB 88%; 83%

Second World War veteran has amazing story to tell Jeff Maguire

Opinion – It was late July 1944 in war-torn Normandy, France. Roly Armitage and his Canadian Army artillery regiment had been ordered to dig in.

“We had been shelled several times and we were expecting more,” the now 89-year-old Armitage recalled. “I worked extra hard to dig a trench (fox hole) as deep and as long as I could.

“I remembered seeing a piece of tarpaulin lying on the side of the road not far away. I walked over to get it. I just wanted to put it on top and make the hole a little more deluxe,” he chuckles.

As he was walking back he heard the incoming German artillery shells. The then 18-yearold dropped the tarp and sprinted toward his freshly dug fox

hole.

“I jumped in and landed on top of two other guys – they were already in there. In my hole!”

Armitage found himself lying partly in and partly out of the trench. That’s when a shell struck about 30 feet away. The next thing he remembers is waking up in a first aid station.

“They told me the concussion had knocked me out cold.

But I wasn’t hit by any of the shrapnel.

“When those things (shells) hit they kind of plow along the surface of the ground and then explode. I was really lucky.”

The teenager from South March, just outside Ottawa, was knocked senseless by the blast.

His left ear drum was ruptured and permanently damaged. The ringing in his ears lasted for weeks.

The Way It Was and Now: My Journey’ is the autobiography of Roly Armitage. A veteran, retired veterinarian and former mayor, there is much to read about one of West Carleton’s most respected members.

“They wanted to send me back to England for treatment.

But I told them ‘I’m OK. The ringing is starting to go away.’

I was able to finish out the war without being seriously injured,” he explains, with a wry smile.

Armitage and his unit, the Royal Canadian Artillery Third Medium Regiment, landed in Normandy on D-Plus 12. That is 12 days after the start of Operation Overlord (nicknamed “D-Day”), the massive Allied invasion of German-held France which began early on the morning of Tuesday, June 6, 1944.

“When our landing craft headed back again (to a mother ship) it was full of German prisoners. They told us there were 1,500 (POWs) on the beach, waiting to be transported to England.”

Armitage was involved in the intense fighting to capture the French city of Caen. He later participated in the Allied pincer movement that very nearly succeeded in cutting off the bulk of German forces in Normandy.

The so-called “Battle of the Falaise Gap.” It was during that part of the campaign that he was injured.

Many other Canadians were killed in action during both battles and are interred in Commonwealth war cemeteries established in the region.

A large number of Germans succeeded in wriggling out of the attempted trap at Falaise and lived to fight another day, slowing the Allied push through Western Europe.

LIBERATE PORTS

Armitage and his comrades

later helped liberate the French ports of Calais and Boulogne.

The Canadian Army was given the task of pushing the enemy out of English Channel ports in France and Belgium. The ports were vital to the Allied cause but they were fanatically defended which made them very difficult and dangerous to attack.

The young, Ottawa area soldier and his compatriots eventually fought their way north through Holland and into Germany.

His unit ended the war in the port city of Wilhelmshaven, in northern Germany, which was home to a major U-Boat (submarine) base.

In June of this year Armitage, who turns 90 in February, was among an official delegation of Canadian Normandy veterans who attended special ceremonies marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day. His eldest son Mick (the wellknown Ottawa musician and promoter) said it was a wonderful experience for his father.

“Dad has had such an interesting life. But to be part of that ceremony in June was very special for him. We (family) are so proud of him!”

Armitage smiles and laughs when he says that he “an avowed Liberal (he ran a very close second to long-time MPP Norm Sterling in the 1987 Ontario election)” got to shake hands with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who he called “an avowed Conservative,” at Juno Beach (the Canadian invasion beach) in France in June.

He has a photograph to prove it.

Day ceremonies in Normandy Earn Extra Money!

Continued from Page 59

In France Armitage stayed in the home of the same family he was billeted with during his only previous post-war visit to Normandy in 1995.

In May of that year he was among thousands of Canadian veterans who participated in ceremonies to mark the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Holland and the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe.

We have something in common because my wife and I also attended the 50th anniversary observances in the company of 20 veterans and their wives from Carleton Place, Lanark County and Ottawa.

The biggest event was Holland’s National Liberation Parade held in the city of Apeldoorn on May 7, 1995. I was there as a journalist to cover the event which was attended by half a million cheering spectators.

Armitage was one of 8,000 WW II veterans who marched past the throng receiving countless hugs, kisses and bouquets of flowers from grateful Dutch citizens. The people of The Netherlands have never forgotten the sacrifices Canadian soldiers made in helping free their country after five years of Nazi occupation. A total of 5,706 Canadians gave their lives during the Dutch campaign.

“Wasn’t that parade something,” Armitage enthused. “It was unbelievable!”

I agreed, but told him that he and his fellow veterans deserve all the praise they receive and then some.

FRENCH FAMILY For our group and Armitage that poignant trip included tours of the Allied invasion beaches in France.

Included on the itinerary was

INSIDE

Juno Beach where Armitage had first set foot in Europe 49 years earlier.

During his 1995 stay he was billeted with a French couple who had three young children.

Armitage remained in touch and when it was announced he would be part of the D-Day 70th anniversary observances this year he was able to connect with the same family.

Once again he was welcomed into their home with open arms. “The kids are all grown up now. We had some very good talks.”

Also during the visit Armitage made a pilgrimage to Beny-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery where just over 2,000 Canadian victims of DDay and the Normandy campaign are interred. Among the soldiers buried there are several from his own regiment. One of them was his own officer, Lieutenant Roy Pattinson.

A native of Victoria, British Columbia the 25-year-old officer died during heavy enemy shelling on July 29, 1944 two days before Armitage himself was nearly killed by an exploding artillery round.

His eyes became moist when he mentioned all the young men who didn’t survive the war. “I think about my comrades who never got the opportunity to experience the richness life had to offer.

They had their whole lives ahead of them but they never made it home.

“I’m among the lucky ones.”

Armitage’s war-time service has not been forgotten.

He is a recipient of the France and Germany Star which went to those who experienced six months or more of action.

Also among the decorations he wears on special occasions are the Defence of Britain medal, the WW II Victory medal, the Canadian Volunteer medal and the Normandy

Defence medal.

Recently he was notified that the Government of France will present him with the prestigious ‘Legion of Honour Medal.’ That will take place during a ceremony at the French Embassy in Ottawa in November.

“I feel very humble,” he says softly.

The medal presentation will take place the month after Armitage officially releases a book about his very interesting life. Entitled ‘The Way It Was and Now: My Journey’ the book was about to go to print when I sat down with the author last week.

“I never thought I would write a book, but it is pretty exciting,” he says gleefully.

He is also planning to return to Europe in May with his son Mick. They will attend the 70th anniversary liberation parade in The Netherlands and participate in other observances marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe.

In this column I have only outlined details about Armitage’s war experience. Despite its significance, the war is just one chapter in what has been a full and rewarding life for the West Carleton native. There is so much more to Roly Armitage!

He is a retired veterinarian, race horse owner and track operator. He served as the Mayor of West Carleton Township (now part of the City of Ottawa) and he was general manager of Carp Airport for 10 years.

A widower (he has outlived two wives) he has three surviving children (he lost a son at age 27), four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

And that is just part of his story. If you want the whole story you’ll have to buy the book. Believe me, it is a very good read!

Para Transit Vehicle a lifeline for young volunteer Liz Wall Seniors at Home

Lifestyle - He is a young man that faces his own challenges every day. But through it all he remains positive and relishes in giving back to the community by helping others.

Leonard Laventure is this amazing young man who I first met on Sept. 18, 2014 during an interview with him as someone who relies on the Para Transit Services as provided by Arnprior-BraesideMcNab Seniors at Home Program Inc. (ABMSH). It only took the first 10 minutes of the conversation before I realized just how amazing he is.

The first born son, July 17, 1989 in Arnprior, of Lou and Linda Laventure, Leonard was born with Spina Bifida (a developmental congenital

disorder to the spinal caused by the incomplete closing of the embryonic neural tube).

With all the challenges that faced the young family and continue today, Leonard now age 25 says he has plenty to be thankful for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel the best I have ever beenâ&#x20AC;?, says Leonard.

Today he is a valuable, well-liked and respected volunteer at Arnprior & District NeighbourLink Fountain.

What prepared Leonard for today? It is his own determination, personality, and of course the love and support of family and friends.

Glasgow is home for the Laventure family. Brother Lance (age 22), mother Linda who works for Community Living in Renfrew and dad Lou owner of Laventure Construction. The family are members of the Glasglow United Church.

He first attended Renfrew Colligate Institute, and when Arnprior District High School offered the first Special Education classes Leonard transferred to Arnprior.

He graduated in 2007-2008.

His determination shone through at that time as well.

He was requested by principal Neil Framer to come back, as a volunteer, to be a mentor for the freshmen of the following school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am glad I did that. It was both a learning and warming experienceâ&#x20AC;?, said Leonard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be able to help other kids with disabilities was rewardingâ&#x20AC;?.

Following high school he completed a 10-week course in English followed by an introductory course in radio and how to become a mobile DJ. His love of music (country and classic rock) and being an avid concertgoer led

to his mobile DJ business titled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;DJ Wheelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. He is for hire for local events.

When he is not volunteering or completing his duties at home, he plays sledge hockey in the Ottawa house league on Friday nights.

In his spare time he enjoys watching standup comedy, sports and romantic comedies. He is an avid hockey fan and lists his favourite NHL team as the Ottawa Senators or ABL (stands for anybody but Leafs!). Favourite player â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Wade Redden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always wanted to be able to give back to the communityâ&#x20AC;?, said Leonard.

Volunteering is the way he accomplishes this.

He is booked three days a week for his volunteering duties at the Fountain and this is where ABMSH comes in. It is because of the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Para Transit Care Coach service that Leonard is able to volunteer.

The ABMSH Care Coach Para Transit vehicle is the only specialized transportation service operating in Arnprior and the Township of McNab-Braeside for individuals of all ages with special needs. This vita service is only one of the many programs offered by ABMSH

that helps to main independence for its clients.

The operation of Care Coach Para Transit vehicle relies totally on local fundraising and the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yellow Envelope Keep the Wheels Turningâ&#x20AC;? campaign.

Every household within Arnprior, Township of McNab-Braeside, Burnstown, White Lake, Fitzroy Harbour, Woodlawn, Constance Bay and Kinburn received our campaign letter in a bright yellow envelope

We have so much to be thankful for; family, friends our health while others may be less fortunate. But if we at Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program Inc. can make life easier for someone who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perform the simple task of getting into a car and driving to their desired location, we are more than happy to do so.

Our staff of dedicated, caring and understanding drivers, like Colin Borshevsky, Nancy Peck, Wayne Periard, Kevin Osborne, Ken

Carroll and John Dallaire are always here and willing to assist those with special needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To continue the transportation service for Mr. Laventure and others we applaud everyone who has and is yet to make a donation. We owe it all to the caring and generous residents of the communities we call home,â&#x20AC;? said Dennis Harrington, Executive Director ABMSH. If you did not receive the yellow envelope and would like to make a donation please feel free to call or drop by, 106 McGonigal Street West/613-623-7981. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been volunteering here (at the Fountain) for three years and without Colin (driver of Para Transit ABMSH) and the Care Coach I would not be able to give back,â&#x20AC;? said Leonard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is my lifeline.â&#x20AC;?

Learn the sweet truth about herbal supplement Stevia Ian Harris

Lifestyle - Stevia is an herbal supplement derived from a plant native to South America.

Despite its uses as a sugar substitute and for the treatment of diabetes and hypertension, stevia poses a risk for side effects in some individuals.

There are a number of other names for stevia, though each of these herbal supplements represents a product derived from the same type of plant, posing similar side effects. Other possible names for stevia include azucacaa, Paraguayan sweet herb, sweet leaf, honey leaf, Reb A and yerba dulce.

Possible side effects of stevia may include bloating, nausea, dizziness, muscle pain and numbness.

Stevia increases the amount of the psychiatric drug lithium in your body, causing an increased risk of the drug’s toxic side effects. Because of its potential to lower blood sugar or pressure, stevia poses a risk for serious hypoglycemia or hypotension when combined with oral diabetes or blood pressure medications.

Some individuals may develop a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction to stevia, causing shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, wheezing, hives and even anaphylactic shock.

You are at an increased risk for an allergic reaction if you have an allergy to ragweed, chrysanthemums or daisies.

Because there is no research verifying the safety of its effects upon a developing fetus, avoid taking stevia if you are pregnant.

In reality sugar is a learned behaviour. We are not born with the taste for sweets.

My best advice would be to cut out all refined sugars and stop ingested artificial substitutes. Although stevia is a plant based sweetener, it is still providing the body with something absolutely unnecessary.

As for healthy alternatives such as honey (unless pure is processed), agave (which is processed), maple syrup (which may contain chemicals used to protect the holes made in the trees to collect the syrup) and molasses (which could contain sulphur), think again. They may be somewhat healthier alternatives to processed sugar. However, a sugar molecule is a

Add your choice of chopped nuts, dried cranberries or granola.

Preparation time: 20 minutes.

Cooking time: about 10 minutes.

Serves: six.

Ingredients • 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter • 6 cups (1.5 L) sliced peeled apples (such as Spy,

Golden Delicious, Jonagold) • 1 cup (250 mL) packed brown sugar • 1 tsp (5 mL) ground cinnamon • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground nutmeg • 2 cups (500 mL) water • 2 tbsp (25 mL) cornstarch • 6 cups (1.5 L) vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt • 6 tbsp (90 mL) chopped toasted pecans or walnuts Preparation instructions In large non-stick skillet,

melt butter over medium heat.

Add apples and toss to coat.

Stir in sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally.

In small bowl, whisk water with cornstarch; stir into apple mixture. Cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally, or until thickened and apples are tender.

Spoon about 3/4 cup (175 mL) of sauce over each serving of ice cream; sprinkle with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of nuts.

THANKS GIVING TURKEY

Planning on serving turkey for the holidays!

Ever wonder why you always feel sleepy after the big meal. Turkey contains an amino acid called L-Tryptophan which in large doses can make you feel tired. However, the amount ingested is not enough to make you count sheep.

So why do we feel tired?

In reality it is the total amount consumed, not the turkey. A heavy meal including dessert

(processed sugar) is very hard on the human body to digest. All our resources are needed to get that meal digested and assimilated.

Try eating smaller portions or spread out the meal, resting in between courses. A brisk walk after supper will also help with digestion and assimilate. Enjoy!
