Bentley Scouten concentrates as he controls the fire hose, with help from firefighter Jackie Stephens, at the Arnprior Fire Department’s open house on Oct. 2. The event was a prelude to Fire Prevention Week, which runs Oct. 9 to 15. This year’s theme is ‘Don’t wait, check the date’ to encourage people to check and replace their smoke detectors. Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years, said deputy chief Rick Desarmia, although he recommends every seven years, as the alarm may work but the smoke sensors may not function properly.

Hazelwood remembered for his many community contributions John Carter
John.carter@metroland.com
McNab-Braeside is mourning the loss of one of its most influential residents. Former reeve and school trustee Norm Hazelwood died on Monday, Sept. 26 at the age of 86. His death comes just seven weeks after his wife, Frances, died. The Hazelwoods lived in the White Lake area and Norm owned and operated AF Campbell lumber on Daniel Street in Arnprior for many years. He was also manager of the Arnprior Shopping Centre for a time. He first served on Arnprior council, then was elected a councillor in McNab in 1983. He was re-elected in 1986 and became deputy reeve in 1989. Hazelwood was elected to two terms as reeve of McNab, serving from 1992 to 1997. He was instrumental in negotiating the township’s amalgamation with Braeside and played an active role on Renfrew County council. “He was a great community person,” said McNab-Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett. “He would help out everybody he could.” Peckett said Hazelwood never hesitated “to step up to the plate” when it came to assisting his community. He was also a good family man and “a good guy,” he said. Former McNab-Braeside Mayor Neil Stewart said Hazelwood had a “tremendous record of community service.” The number of areas in which he was involved was “remarkable,” he

said. He noted he chaired the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital board and ArnpriorMcNab Archives. He was also involved with Children and Family Services and several other boards. Stewart said his father, who served on council with Hazelwood, said he was a “very good councillor, hard-working, knowledgeable and able.” “He was someone who honestly believed in the future for McNab-Braeside and worked hard to secure that,” said former township Mayor Mary Campbell. “Norm Hazelwood was just a good man, honest straightforward and very simple,” said former Arnprior Mayor Terry Gibeau. “He gave a lot to the community and I also think to his church. “If you asked Norm to check something out he would,” he added. “He never made you feel that you were inconveniencing him. He was one of those people who make a community work.” After being defeated in the 1997 municipal election, Hazelwood stayed out of local politics for a time before turning his focus to education. He was named as the McNab-BraesideArnprior trustee on the Renfrew County public school board in 2014 to fill a vacancy. He was re-elected several times until he retired in 2014. He was known as the board’s “wise old man” and guided the construction of the new Valour school in Petawawa as head of the building

committee. “He was really keen (to join),” said Marjorie Doering, who as the Renfrew and area trustee, served on the board with Hazelwood for several years. “And he remained keen. He really loved being on the school board.” Doering noted that he chaired the plant and transportation committee and played a key role in working with the Catholic board to bring in the staggered bells system. She said he was very active in education issues and worked hard and long hours on various initiatives. “He was well liked and respected,” she added. He also had a great sense of humour,” she noted. During amalgamation discussions, Greater Madawaka officials suggested that their municipality take over much of McNab to form a township that would stretch down the Madawaska River from Giffith to Arnprior. “Wouldn’t that be like the minnow swallowing the whale,” Hazelwood quipped. As well as being a community activist and active local politician, Hazelwood is being remembered as a loyal and true friend to many and a dedicated husband and father. His obituary notes he is being remembered for his “strength, loyalty and faithfulness.” He is survived are his children Bruce (Deborah), Nora (Brenton) Conrad and Michael (Wanda). A funeral service was conducted Saturday, Oct. 1 in the Boyce Funeral Home Chapel. Interment followed at the White Lake Community Cemetery. In memoriams to the Hospice Renfrew or the Arnprior District and Memorial Hospital would be appreciated by his family.

Arnprior fair to move outside town limits, sell off property Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Greater Arnprior will contain the largest agricultural complex in Eastern Ontario, according to the fair president. Jeff Desarmia said the Arnprior Fair will relocate to a property just outside town limits, and become a yearround operation catering to everything from horse shows and agriculture-related education programming to weddings and trade fairs. The current site off Daniel Street behind the curling club will be sold. “It’s a big undertaking. It is going to take staff,” said Desarmia. “We are really going to give this area a good tourism draw.” He insists the property will not be a few tin barns, but a number of structures that “play the part” including a
dining hall that will seat as many as 600, a commercial kitchen, offices, a pub, indoor show rings complete with concession stands, and more. To start out, the site will also have 50 serviced campsites. Although Carp has access to numerous buildings, Desarmia said the complex will be peerless in this part of Ontario. Horse show season typically ends about November; this property will host shows all year long. The annual fair, derbies and stampede will continue at the new location. The transition – in the works for almost two years - won’t take place next year. The 2017 fair will take place at the current site. But the ‘for sale’ sign was meant to go up after Oct. 3. He won’t discuss dollar figures on either location. Colliers Canada is the real estate agent. They generally take on clients with properties worth $1 million or
more. Town planner Robin Paquette said the existing site is ideal for intensification, meaning residential units. It would need council’s approval to rezone for that. It is zoned open space one and is designated in the town’s official plan as parks and open space, Paquette said. Desarmia anticipates it turning residential, but said a potential buyer mentioned using it for industrial purposes. He is certain the six property owners backing onto the site will not be happy. Desarmia is also in the midst of quashing rumours the 162-year-old Arnprior Agricultural Society is nearing bankruptcy, insolvency, or ready to disband. He said the stampede and fair did poorly this year because of inclement weather. But that has been the case in the past and will likely happen again. The fair is in
Water levels will be lowered to help frogs and turtles survive winter Ontario Power Generation
As part of Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) commitment to biodiversity, the company will begin lowering water levels within allowable operating limits on the Madawaska and Ottawa rivers after Thanksgiving weekend. This is when the summer water level minimums end. The ‘draw down’ will begin as temperatures decline and will encourage amphibians like frogs, as well as turtles, to burrow in riverbed mud below the water before winter. This initiative, which is supported by the
Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), will occur in October on the Madawaska River at Calabogie Generating Station (GS), in the Town of Calabogie, and Stewartville GS, located in Stewartville, and on the Ottawa River at Chenaux GS, which is outside of Renfrew. Residents and businesses along these rivers are advised to take all necessary precautions to ensure the lower waters do not impact their properties.

good shape, he indicated. However, when the group moves outside town limits the name could change to reflect the new location. That would require a board-of-directors vote. He also reminds folks that the grounds are not publicly
owned; it is not a park; the agricultural society is a private owner. “There some out there who think we have to turn it into a park, or for a hospital or school,” he said. “They are forgetting we own the charter.”
The organization is holding a public meeting to discuss all related topics on Monday, Oct. 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Kenwood Centre. An advertisement in an upcoming issue of the Chronicle-Guide will provide additional information.

Arnprior student brandishing knife arrested at school Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Arnprior’s only high school was under lockdown on Wednesday, Sept. 28 after police were alerted to reports of a student brandishing a knife. The call came at about 12:10 p.m. that a student threatened a vice-principal and educational assistant at Arnprior District High School. The male student was then said, in information being relayed across the police scanner, to be in the hallway, calm, but still holding a knife as he talked to staff members. Before OPP arrived, three students were allowed into the school, two females and a male. Media was not. Students could be seen lifting blinds from top floor windows. The crossing guard said it was the quietest he had ever seen it at noon time. Police arrived at 12:25; two cruisers, two unmarked cars and one SUV sped to the scene, with five officers entering the front doors.
About 10 minutes later an ambulance arrived. The paramedics moved less quickly than police. By about 12:40 a youth wearing a green sweatshirt was led from a side entrance to the ambulance. He was handcuffed. Principal Tom Havey deferred comment to Jonathan Laderoute, communications manager for Renfrew County District School Board. Laderoute confirmed that a “hold and secure” was in place at the high school, along with neighbouring primary schools Walter Zadow Public and St. Joseph’s Catholic. He said a student was “in distress.” He said the two staff members followed proper protocol by guiding the student to a secure area as the lockdown took place. “I want to stress that our staff did follow proper protocol and at no point was the safety of students and staff at risk,” Laderoute said. He confirmed that it would not be proper to allow students back inside the building during a lockdown.

Hurry in while supplies last!
After Thanksgiving Monday, Oct. 10, the summer water level minimums will end on the Ottawa and Madawaska Rivers. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) will adjust its operations within allowable operating levels using the fall/winter requirements. This will result in lower water levels. Also be advised that a “draw down” will occur in October on the Madawaska River at Calabogie Generating Station (GS) and Stewartville GS, and on the Ottawa River at Chenaux GS. This “draw down” from summer water level minimums will begin as temperatures drop in order to encourage amphibians like frogs, as well as turtles, to hibernate safely for the winter. This is an initiative supported by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

MPP apologizes, mayor silent on sexual assault case Continued from page 1
The court was convinced he: threw a mug at her head; tried to smother her with a pillow; choked her with a belt; during a car ride “checking her” for semen; forced his wife into non-consensual intercourse. Then, in an unusual twist, the case was thrown out of court and a new trial set for this January. A second judge, who replaced an ailing judge, said after reading the court transcript that Elmer’s version of events is plausible. He did not consult lawyers from either side. However, the Sept. 29 feature “Making her case,” closely aligned the overturned verdict to the support Elmer received during the day of sentencing from John Yakabuski, Tom Peckett and many others. Yakabuski, MPP for Renfrew-NipissingPembroke, now says he regrets having provided a character reference letter. The Office of the Integrity Commissioner of Ontario recommends against submitting reference letters. It won’t discuss his case. Yakabuski now insists it was penned while Elmer faced charges, not after the conviction. He sent Metroland Media the following statement via email. “I have reviewed the CBC story regarding Elmer Raycroft. The reference letter was provided to Mr. Raycroft in June 2014 prior to the commencement of the trial,” Yakabuski wrote. “I do not, nor have I ever condoned violence against women. I acknowledge that I should not have provided a letter for a matter that was before the courts and I apologize for doing so. As a husband, father and grandfather, I will continue to advocate for tougher laws to keep our communities safe and end domestic violence.” In the Sept. 29 issue of the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, Yakabuski appeared in the story ‘Murder victims remembered,
ELMER RAYCROFT
MPP reintroduces parole bill.’ He chastised the Liberal government for not doing more to protect victims of violence. “Government must take this matter seriously and acknowledge there are ways to provide greater protection to victims of violence – anything less is
unacceptable.” Peckett, current mayor of McNab/Braeside, refused comment on his appearance at the sentencing of the former car salesman. According to CBC: “Peckett showed up in person to say he’d known Elmer for more than 40 years, in which time he estimated he’d purchased 15 to 20 vehicles from him. ‘He’s always been fair and honest with me,’ Peckett testified, lauding Elmer’s contributions to his church and town politics.” Although Yakabuski is less concerned with unduly influencing the next trial, Peckett takes the opposite stance. “The case is still before the court,” Peckett wrote in an email. “No comment.” Asked why he would comment to the court during a trial but not after to the media, Peckett did not respond. Peckett’s council colleagues are mildly troubled or indifferent to his actions. “I believe that Mayor Tom Peckett exercised a lapse of judgment,” Coun. Heather Lang said, denying sexism played a role. “I don’t know the facts of this particular case, so cannot comment on it specifically.” She said nine out of 10 times in cases such as this, the woman is telling the truth. The same ratio applies to women across
Canada when it comes to victims of domestic violence. Lang emphasized the issue “cuts across all class structures, and is an issue that none of us, male and female, can take lightly.” Coun. Scott Brum said, via electronic messaging, “This is not a township matter in any way. It is, to the best of my knowledge, a case that involves an individual who once was involved in municipal politics in McNab/Braeside township, and other (sic) current and/or former resident.” He refused further comment, citing the impending court case. Coun. Mark MacKenzie insisted Peckett was acting as a private resident because he sought no prior approval from council as a whole. “Yes, he is mayor. But in no way was he representing the township,” MacKenzie said. “He was not speaking on behalf of council. If the mayor chooses to give a character reference that’s his business.” MacKenzie doesn’t intend to seek out the reference letter to determine if it was written on township letterhead or contains Peckett’s official title. He objected to the public broadcaster’s “implication that this is a rural problem.” He said women are assaulted too often and that it is a problem in all parts of Canada. He wants to see it made easier for women to seek help from the courts when they’ve been abused. That goes for women everywhere. “It’s highly prejudicial to say this is a rural problem. I strongly object to that.” He also noted CBC erroneously said Elmer was deputy mayor of Arnprior. Township Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden said Peckett’s appearance during sentencing “has nothing to do with the township.” He takes the same position as MacKenzie. “I don’t believe (Peckett) appeared as mayor. He appeared as himself. There is a nuance there, but a very important one.” Peter Hiscott, former director of the
Sunday bridge work approved on White Lake Road John Carter
john.Carter@metroland.com
With construction on the Claybank Bridge on White Lake Road falling behind, McNab-Braeside council has approved a temporary noise bylaw exemption for the contractor. Greyleith Limited is being allowed to work on the bridge on Sundays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through to Nov. 30. The company is working on a two-year contact let by the County of Renfrew to upgrade the bridge
over the Madawaska River just south of Arnprior. When making its decision Sept. 20, council did reserve the right to re-visit the issue and revoke the exemption if it is deemed to be causing problems for area residents. Mayor Tom Peckett explained that the company has run across problems that had put it behind schedule. “It’s either let them work six or seven Sundays or we can add six or seven months to when the bridge is completed,” he said.
Coun. Scott Brum said that no company likes to have its employees working seven days a week on a project “unless they have to.” So it’s obvious it’s necessary to get the one side of the bridge finished by the end of November, he said. Coun. Heather Lang, noting that there hasn’t been much activity at the site, said she’d be surprised if the work is completed by the end of November. A traffic light has been set up as bridge traffic has been reduced to one lane.
Arnprior town hall gives grant to downtown piano bar Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The Town of Arnprior will contribute financially to a soon-to-open restaurant in the downtown core. Owners of The 2 Grands Piano Bar applied for the money under the municipal-
ity’s community improvement program (CIP). Located at 26 Elgin St. W., the building needs to be painted a solid colour, have new windows and doors installed, a strip and stain job done on an original door, gooseneck lights installed above the sign, and lighting at the front door.
The application met all requirements, so was eligible for a grant up to $5,000. The total cost of the project is $11,088. The town will provide $2,775. “So it’s pretty standard,” Mayor David Reid said. “That’s great.” The CIP budget has $42,500 remaining.
Renfrew County Board of Education, also provided a reference letter for Raycroft. Several members of Glad Tidings Pentecostal church in Arnprior attended the sentencing, according to the CBC report.

Although a resident of Renfrew for over 15 years and a full time musician for even longer, Mike McCormick has never done a solo concert in town. Until now, as on Friday, Oct. 14 at the Dragonfly Golf Links, McCormick will perform his first solo concert in the area. McCormick is a founding member of the Arrogant Worms, Canada’s favourite musical comedy troupe. The group, founded in Kingston in 1991, performs all original comedic songs with a uniquely Canadian take on things. What started as a joke has led to tours of Canada, the US, England and Australia; a television special with the Edmonton Symphony; 13 recordings and sales of nearly 200,000 units. Their music appears in many strange and unique places including the Space Shuttle during one of Commander Chris Hadfield’s missions. This fall will see the release of a new album titled “The Arrogant Worms First Farewell Album.” McCormick joined the group while pursuing his Masters degree in Metallurgical Engineering. He always had an interest in music, first studying the piano then learning guitar and trombone. Song writing has always been a passion and with the Worms many of his compositions have become fan favourites highlighting his musical prowess with a unique take on the world as evidenced by titles such as “I Am Cow,” “Pressure Washer” and “River of Snot.” In recent years McCormick has appeared in various musical endeavours with the Arnprior Community Choir, some cameo appearances at St. Joseph’s High School Coffeehouses, as a part of Really Cool Initiatives, creating a weekly Ottawa Valley podcast “Talkin Valley,” playing guitar during Renfrew Collegiate Institute ’s production of Emma last year (Where his daughter Cameron played Emma) and most recently as musical director and organist at Trinity-St. Andrews United Church. He’s also hosted two different open mikes, “Soundcheck” at the Neat cafe and this summer “Open Mik” a monthly venture held at the Dragonfly Golf Links. For these, McCormick’s humour is on display as both the MC and when he debuts a new song each month. Recent compositions focused on the Olympics and Ottawa’s sinkhole. These songs formed the seed behind this concert.
Warden’s Banquet
Mike McCormick performs Friday, Oct.14 at the Dragonfly Golf Links. “I have a bunch of songs that have been performed once, maybe twice,” says McCormick. “If they don’t make it as Arrogant Worms songs, they are pretty much done. I wanted to see if I had enough strong material to create my own show and the Dragonfly was willing to host it.” The show will be a mix of songs from his life of song writing and music drawing from some Arrogant Worms material and some that are “either too straight or too weird for them.” The show begins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 14. There is no charge for the performance though a goodwill offering will be taken. For more information, contact mike@ mikemccormick.ca or the Dragonfly Golf Links at 613432-3838.

Pakenham, Caldwell Street public schools on school board’s chopping block Ashley Kulp
akulp@metroland.com
If the Upper Canada District School Board’s (UCDSB) pupil accommodation review is approved, it could signal the end for 29 schools, including Pakenham Public School and Caldwell Street Public School. During the Sept. 28 UCDSB meeting at the board office in Brockville, trustees endorsed a 188-page report, entitled ‘Building for the Future,’ which proposes potential school closures throughout the board and addresses a capital priorities plan. The approval of that report triggered a public consultation process, or pupil accommodation review, to roll out this fall and winter. “Tonight’s meeting was not about the board closing any schools,” said board chair Jeff McMillan in a press release issued by the UCDSB. “Instead, it’s about the board opening a conversation with our parents and school communities.” It’s a conversation Jennifer Downey, chair of the school council chair for Pakenham Public School is ready to have. “We’re fighting this tooth and nail to ensure our school remains open. This community will not stand for this,” she remarked. Downey has two kids at the school, currently in grades 1 and 3. “I chose to keep my kids in Pakenham because it’s a small community and it was the type of education that we want.” Pakenham is included with 16 other schools in the first of three categories outlined, which could see the school close by June 30, 2017. She questions why the board undertook major renovations on the school, which were com-
pleted in August 2016 to the tune of $227,450, if they were considering its closure. “All the windows, the doors, exterior and new siding was completed,” she stated in a phone interview Sept. 29. “The taxpayers need to realize that they put that much money into a school they’re considering for closure.” “We’re (school council) extremely disappointed that our school was even on the list,” Downey continued. “We feel we are a stable school.” Pakenham also serves as a border school, between the UCDSB and nearby Renfrew County School Board. “Fifty per cent of kids would not remain with the Upper Canada board (if the school closed),” she said. “They would go to the Renfrew County or Ottawa boards.” Calling the school the “heart and soul” of the community, Downey was also concerned on the impact the school’s closure would have on the municipality, Linda Lowe Daycare, which operates on site, as well as the Pakenham Civitan Club. “We have our own autonomy. We’re not Almonte, we’re Pakenham, while we get together to do things, we have the daycare, library, arena and curling rink. It’s a community hub,” she said, adding that larger schools have more issues. In appendix 10 of the report, the school board states one of the reasons for contemplating the closure is to save on busing. “Busing is a huge issue because we bus kids from Bellamy Road in White Lake…I can’t see how you would save money,” she stated. “Kids that have a 30-minute bus ride now, it will become an hour bus ride.”
The news also came as a shock to Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin. “It came as a bit of a surprise,” he admitted. “We had discussions with the board a couple of years ago and Pakenham is on the edge of the boundary, so they would lose students to Renfrew if it closed, but it looks like they’re doing it anyway.” “It’s not a fait accompli. If the community and town put up a reasonable argument, there’s the possibility it might not close,” McLaughlin continued. “It’s a long shot, but we’ll do the best we can.” He said he was “caught off guard” by the announcement as the municipality just approved entering into a facilities agreement to use the school for a satellite Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library while it undergoes renovations. That agreement begins in October and runs until June 2017. “It makes me wonder, what’s the point of us rebuilding a library when an empty building may be available a year from now?” he questioned, but said the municipality will be putting together a response. “…Time will tell what we can do.” According to the board, the recommendations in the report are due to declining enrolment and surplus space in schools, which could partly be due to the Grade 7/8 shift to high schools. “Over the past 10 years, we’ve seen a
decline of about 7,500 students,” noted Stephen Sliwa, UCDSB’s director of education, during an interview with this newspaper Tuesday, Sept. 27. “ However, Downey said Pakenham’s enrolment has actually been on the rise. They currently have 90 students from kindergarten to Grade 6. “Our enrolment has actually been increasing. Our kindergarten enrolment significantly increased (last year) and we’re anticipating a larger increase for next year,” she explained. McMillan noted the board simply approved the beginning of the review process Sept. 28 and consultation will begin through four regional accommodation review committees (ARCs). They will hold two public meetings each: the first this November and a second in January 2017. The board anticipates finalizing details of these meetings by Oct. 7. Downey called the report’s recommendations for closures “very clearly a numbers game, which is the furthest thing from our minds.” Caldwell Street Public School falls into category three of the report with seven other schools, where school closures will be conditional on Ministry of Education approval for rebuilds or facility improvements. The final decision, following public consultation, is expected to be made March 23, 2017.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Keep input reasonable It’s clear there are people who don’t like some of the provisions in the County of Renfrew’s proposed revised official plan. That’s fine. If there are sections that frost your cookies, it’s important to speak up and let the county’s planners and politicians know what you would like changed. But don’t expect them to scrap the whole document or make it apply to certain properties and not others. Some of the complaints have not only been unrealistic, they are just plain wrong. Where did the contention that the official plan will ban wood or oil stoves come from? It must be in a phantom section written in invisible ink. The idea that the official plan and the county’s mayors/reeves are part of some widespread conspiracy based in the United Nations to rob us of our property rights and force rural folks to migrate to the big cities is rather far-fetched. Most of our municipal leaders are country down-homebodies to the core. The county’s updating of its official plan is long overdue and needs to reflect the changes in the area since it was last revised in 2003. In doing so, the county is attempting to walk a thin line between provincial policies and the special needs and desires of a rural area. It certainly shouldn’t cow-tow to made-in-Toronto solutions, but those urging it completely reject everything in the provincial policy statement are playing a fool’s game. That would almost certainly lead to having an official plan imposed on us from above. Better we have at least a partial made-in-Renfrew-County document with nodding recognition of what the province wants. Complaints that the county is trying to sneak in the changes without anyone knowing are also hard to fathom. The county has widely publicized the official plan review, which is mandated by the province, and organized seven public meetings to give people a chance to speak up. Area media outlets, including this newspaper, gave the process and meeting dates prominent coverage. Written submissions were accepted until Sept. 30 and you still have plenty of time to regale your county council representative with complaints, as they won’t be voting on the plan for another three months at least. There have been some complaints about the August timing of the meetings, but they were spread out over two weeks plus and an extra session was added in Horton (smart move). Sure, some people were away on holiday or busy on the farm, but the timespan was long enough to accommodate most everyone who really wanted to provide input. There is no best time for such meetings. Scheduling them in the winter makes them susceptible to weather, in September people are too busy signing their kids up for sports or going to meet-the-teacher nights, and don’t even think about holding them during hunting season. August was probably as good a time as any. The meetings didn’t attract huge crowds; sessions of this type seldom do. But they did pull in a few hundred people and there was some spirited input. It’s too bad the landowners who pulled in a couple of hundred people to a meeting about the official plan in Cobden Sept. 23 hadn’t rallied the troops before rather than after the public sessions. However, considering that there are 107,000 people in the county all directly affected by the official plan, it doesn’t appear there is any major groundswell of discontent. At least not enough to warrant going to war with the province over the issue.

McNab Braeside Township has fought for residents To the editor:
This is in follow up to the article in last week’s (Sept. 29 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide) paper regarding McNabBraeside Township’s comments on the post-OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) Braeside quarry status. As a participating independent party throughout the hearing, I feel that I am in a position to remark on and clarify some misconceptions: The township has fought for its residents by rejecting a permanent asphalt plant and by passing a bylaw to have the appropriate separation distance instituted. Their involvement was critical in passing the new bylaw, under post-election time restraints, in preparation for the hearing.

They did what they needed to do by having excellent legal counsel defending their new bylaw and ensuring that conformity to the official plan was upheld. The choice to hire an expert planner was imperative since the decision* was based primarily on planning. Their role was key to the positive outcome achieved for the township as a whole. I have nothing but praise for this council, for the support they gave, and for their continuing involvement as this matter is finalized. On Sept. 30, in its final order, the municipal board has directed the minister to issue Miller Paving their license, based on the positive outcome that we all fought for. Considering the excellent result for the township as a

whole, why has there been such negativity surrounding this positive result? Although Miller Paving has requested an appeal to the divisional court, regarding the OMB’s decision, it has not yet been decided whether the appeal will be granted. I am optimistic that the appeal will be denied and we can all move on and be satisfied with the exceptional outcome that we all invested in and worked hard for. John Kerr, Braeside

Fire Prevention Week: Join the ‘Don’t Wait, Check the Date Selfie Challenge’ Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 9 to15 and the Arnprior Fire Department is encouraging citizens to check the date of all smoke alarms in their home This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign ‘Don’t Wait – Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years’ represents the final year of the three-year public education campaign about basic but essential elements of smoke alarm safety. Why focus on smoke alarms three years in a row? The National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) survey data shows that there are many misconceptions about smoke alarms, which may put people at increased risk in the event of a home fire. For
example, only a small percentage of people know how old their smoke alarms are, or how often they need to be replaced. Therefore, the Arnprior Fire Department is addressing smoke alarm replacement this year with a focus on these key messages: • Make sure you know how old all the smoke alarms are in your home. • Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years. • To find out how old a smoke alarm is, look at the date of manufacture on the back of the alarm; the alarm should be replaced 10 years from that date. It should be noted that while smoke alarms typically last 10 years, some have dif-
ferent expiry time frames. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for the expiry time frame of your smoke alarms. The Arnprior Fire Department also reminds you that smoke alarms are required on every storey of your home and outside all sleeping areas. Test all of your smoke alarms monthly by pushing the test button on the alarm, and replace batteries at least once a year or when the alarm’s low battery signal begins to chirp. For more information about smoke alarms, visit www.arnprior.ca or the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management’s website at www.ontario.ca/firemarshal.

It was a fashionable night in Arnprior on Sept. 30. As the Fashion for Physicians show hit the stage at the Nick Smith Centre and raised approximately $2,000 for Physician Recruitment for the Arnprior area. Town Coun. Lynn Grinstead and committee member for the event thought for the first attempt it went well. “There was amazing positive feedback from many women,” said Grinstead in an email to the paper. “The best thing that I heard from a few different woman was that they didn’t realize this store or that store had such great fashions, and they are going
to visit those stores for the first time or for the first time in a very long time.” She says that is exactly what she hopes for when involved in a show like this. “Raise money for the cause, and awareness for the stores that we have in town!” The Nick Smith Centre was transformed for the night to set the tone for the fun event. “We were very fortunate to have many businesses in Arnprior help with donations to make this show the success it was and Creative Edge was one of them. “They donated their time and energy to transform the stage with great lighting and backdrop,” said Grinstead The stores that were involved included: Audrey’s In Town, A Dash of Fab, Giant
Tiger, Hart Store, Jade & Laney Boutique, Mark’s, Sox Plus, Sports Zone, Simply Beautiful and The Artful Gallery. There were many great raffle prizes up for grabs all donated by local businesses including a shopping spree for over $300. Grinstead gives special thanks to all the models that did such an amazing job. “They were all local business woman or hospital employees. It was a fun night,” said Grinstead. “The committee was, as I said very fortunate to receive such support by local merchants to donate the refreshments too. I am sure it is an event that will be repeated and will grow.” Melissa Mosher and Lynn Grinstead strike a pose at Next up is the Doctors Dining Duel fun- the end of the runway during the Fashion for Physidraiser Oct. 22 at the Sandpoint Golf Club. cians show on Sept. 30.

Future solar power projects at risk in Renfrew County Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-op
New community-owned solar power projects slated to be developed in Renfrew County are at risk of not getting off the ground due to a lack in community support. The Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-op (OREC) has been actively developing new projects in Renfrew County, however, prerequisites state that renewable energy co-operatives must prove new projects have community backing. Community support translates into having 50 co-op members who own property for at least two years in the county where projects are to be built. OREC is hosting an info session on Monday, Oct. 17. The group has been actively connecting with communities in Renfrew County to recruit 50 members. Before the outreach efforts began, the co-op had 27 members in the county, 10 new members joined in two months, and 13 new members are needed to meet our
objectives before the fast approaching deadline of Oct. 31. Meeting the 50-member threshold will allow OREC to apply for Feed-in Tariff (FIT) contracts with the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) this fall. The co-op is guaranteed a fixed rate for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) generated under the FIT program. The revenue generated through these 20-year agreements provides a solid annual return to investors between 3-5 per cent depending on the security. The Ottawa-based cooperative is expanding to areas outside the city limits after being approached by several landowners looking to host a communityowned project. “Most regions in Eastern Ontario are underserved by renewable energy co-ops due to the significant commitment required from volunteers to manage a co-op among other reasons. OREC wants to make it easier for residents of Eastern Ontario to invest in projects

Eric Hanna, President & CEO ARH Arnprior Regional Health is proud to provide quality health care services as close to home as possible. Having services available within our own community increases the overall health of our growing and aging community. One of our most respected and sought after service is that of care provided at the Grove Nursing Home. In March of this year a survey was carried out at the Grove which confirmed that 82% of residents and families would definitely recommend the Grove. That is outstanding! Despite these results, we are saddened to see the long wait list for residents of our community to receive care at the Grove. Last year, more than 100 people in our community (Arnprior, McNab/Braeside, and West Carleton) were seeking care in a long-term care facility. Only 11 of them were accommodated at the Grove. Over 50% of residents remained on the wait list, and the other 40% had to leave our community to receive care elsewhere. I was recently told about the circumstances of a member of our community who is 86 years old and his wife is suffering from dementia. Since there was no space for his wife in the Grove and the respite services were limited, he had to move his wife out of their home into a long-term care facility in Ottawa. This 86 year old gentleman is driving every day from Arnprior to Ottawa, 65 kilometers each way, to spend time with and care for his loved one. He has explained to us that he is afraid for the harsh Thank you MPP Naqvi for hos ng the concerned winter to come. He expects that there will be a number of days that he will not be able to visit her, or unable to travel back ci zens of Arnprior seeking a new and expanded home from Ottawa. nursing home. Arnprior Regional Health is advocating for the expansion of additional long -term care beds as part of the Grove Redevelopment. We want to help The Grove grow, so seniors in our community have a place to grow old. Our community currently sits at 42.5 long-term care beds per thousand residents over the age of 75, which is well below the provincial average of 88.2. The Grove, which is the only facility in Arnprior that offers long-term care to seniors, is a 60-bed nursing home that is eligible for redevelopment under the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care’s Redevelopment Program. A comprehensive review of The Grove supports the need for redevelopment to increase to 96 long-term care beds, 20-30 affordable seniors’ accommodation, and seniors’ programming such as assisted living and an adult-day program. This expansion would provide care to dozens of seniors who are currently on the waitlist, allowing our loved ones to age within our community. This expansion would mean that fewer seniors in our community will have to leave their community and their families behind to receive long-term care. We ask that a solution is found, so that 36 additional long-term care bed licenses can be allocated to The Grove, so that redevelopment can move forward and our seniors can age in the community they call home. Equitable access to long-term care is needed for our community. 16 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, October 6, 2016
Student wins international poster contest Darcy Fridgen
Knights of Columbus
Arnprior Knights of Columbus Council 2082 has had a very successful and rewarding 2015-16 season this year, especially in regards to its Substance Abuse Poster Contest. The Knights of Columbus Substance Abuse Poster Contest is an annual competition with winning entries progressing from local council, district, Pembroke Diocese, Ontario-State and international levels of competition. Out of the 75 entries in the 201516 year, our first-place winners were Grace Kudla of St. Joseph’s school and Abby Patrois and Alyssa McNulty of St. John XXIII school. All three went on to win the local district contest and Alyssa and Abby went on to win the Pembroke Diocese as well as the State portion of the contest. At that time Alyssa’s and Abby’s posters were sent to New Haven for the International contest.

County seeks input on CP Rail corridor Arnprior meeting set for Nov. 1 at St. John Chrysostom Knights of Columbus Hall John Carter
John.carter@metroland.com
The County of Renfrew has scheduled six public meetings from Oct. 19 to Nov. 3 to obtain input on the future of the CP Rail corridor. The schedule includes open houses in Renfrew on Oct. 25 and Arnprior Nov. 1. Renfrew County council has agreed with Lanark County that the former rail line, which runs from Smiths Falls to Mattawa, will be called the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail. However, Renfrew County officials indicated they would prefer the stretch in this area be called the Algonquin Trail. The naming is a clear signal that the counties are convinced the corridor should be used for a recreation trail. The main issue is expected to be whether it will be limited to more passive recreation pursuits such as hiking,
jogging, bicycling and cross-country skiing, or will motorized vehicles such as snowmobiles, ATVs and dirt bikes be allowed. However, some residents living along the former rail line have indicated they will argue that the land, now it is no longer needed as a rail line, should be given back to the families who gave it up originally. The county release announcing the public meetings says the aim is to “engage, inform and seek input” from county residents on the proposed future of the corridor. County officials will on hand to answer questions.

Mental Health Arnprior office on the move In order to better serve its clients, Mental Health Services of Renfrew County (MHSRC) has moved its Arnprior office next to the Neighbourlink Fountain. The mental health office was relocated from 398 John St. to Unit C in the former Alexander Reid Public School at 128 Mary St. “This move will improve access to our services and collaboration with other community agencies,” explained MHSRC director Mireille Delorme. “Those with mobility challenges will find the building at the Mary Street site to be far more accessible with a user-friendly layout. From a programming perspective, its proximity to other co-located community agencies, including the Arnprior and District NeighbourLink Fountain, opens up opportunities for future collaborations,” she added. MHSRC is a regional community-based program administered by the Pembroke Regional Hospital that offers a range of services including evaluation, education, counselling and system navigation to individuals ages 16 years old and older, living with serious mental illness. For more detailed information about its programs, visit the website at http://www.pembrokeregionalhospital.ca/ mentalhealthservices. Renfrew county residents can contact the program through the central line at 1-800-991-7711, ext. 8006. For urgent community-based crisis management, contact the Champlain Crisis Line 24/7 at 1-866-996-0991. The mailing address for the new Arnprior office will be Mental Health Services of Renfrew County, Arnprior office, 128 Mary St., Unit C, Arnprior, ON, K7S 1E6.

Rugby girls win The Arnprior District High School girls rugby team opened the new season impressively with two consecutive victories. In search of their seventh consecutive Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association championship, the girls defeated Renfrew 41-0 and Opeongo 64-0. Coach Glenn Wallace reports strong work at the breakdown, powerful running and superb tackling were keys in both victories.

You left this world so suddenly, I think my heart went too, I feel so lost and lonely, &cry from missing you. My heart feels like it’s breaking, As I try to carry on, You were my life, my everything, But now my dear you are gone, I pray that God will give me strength, Until he calls me too, Then what joy will fill my heart, When I’m again with you. Till we meet again. Love Always Gail.

Only God knows how many times, I’ve broken down and cried, When I look back upon our lives, One of the things that make me glad, Is that you chose me to Share with you, The precious years we had. Forever Wanda

A Lawsuit May Affect Your Rights. Please Read this Notice Carefully This notice is to advise of a lawsuit brought as a class action relating to the Ernest C. Drury School for the Deaf (formerly the Ontario School for the Deaf, Milton) (“Drury�), the Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf (formerly the Ontario Institute for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb and the Ontario School for the Deaf) (“Sir James Whitney�), and the Robarts School for the Deaf (“Robarts�), collectively referred to as the “Schools�. It involves anyone who was a student at Drury since 1963 to the present, Sir James Whitney since 1938 to the present, and Robarts since 1973 to the present and certain of their family members. If you know a student of the Schools who cannot read this notice, please share this information with them. If you are within this group, you have a choice of whether to stay in the Class or not, and you must decide this now. What is this case about? The lawsuit says the Province of Ontario failed to properly care for and protect people who attended or resided at the Schools. The lawsuit says that students were emotionally, physically, and psychologically traumatized by their experiences at the Schools. The Province of Ontario denies these claims. The Court has not decided whether the Plaintiff or the Province of Ontario is right. Are you included? You are included in this lawsuit if: r ZPV BUUFOEFE PS SFTJEFE BU %SVSZ BU BOZ UJNF CFUXFFO and August 23, 2016 and have not otherwise released your claim r ZPV BUUFOEFE PS SFTJEFE BU 4JS +BNFT 8IJUOFZ BU BOZ UJNF between 1938 and August 23, 2016 and have not otherwise released your claim r ZPV BUUFOEFE PS SFTJEFE BU 3PCBSUT BU BOZ UJNF CFUXFFO and August 23, 2016 and have not otherwise released your claim r ZPV BSF UIF QBSFOUT TQPVTFT DIJMESFO PS TJCMJOHT PG TPNFPOF and who is included in the lawsuit and who attended or was in residence at one of the Schools between 1978 and August 23, 2016 r ZPV BSF BO FTUBUF USVTUFF GPS B QFSTPO XIP XBT B TUVEFOU PS family member of a student who is included in the lawsuit and that person was living on or after August 10, 2013 Who are the lawyers who represent the class?

Instead, the lawyers will be paid only if there is recovery of money or other benefits for the Class. If there is success, the lawyers would either receive a portion of recovery or be paid by the Province of Ontario. What are your options? Stay In the Class Action: You do not have to do anything to stay in the class action. You will be legally bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, and you will not be able to sue independently the Province of Ontario about the legal claims in this case. If money or benefits are obtained, you will be notified about how to ask for a share. Staying in this Class will not impact the residence or services and supports received by class members from community based agencies which are funded by the Province of Ontario. Get Out of the Class Action: If you want to keep your independent right to sue the Province of Ontario over the claims in this case or if you do not wish to be bound by the orders and judgments of this case, you need to opt out or remove yourself. If you remove yourself, you cannot get any money or benefits from this lawsuit. To ask to be removed, send a letter to School Abuse Class Action Administrator, c/o Crawford & Company Inc., 3-505 133 Weber St. N., Waterloo ON N2J 3G9 or go to www.Schoolsforthedeafclassaction.ca.

Skins: A & B categories: Eric Cormier and Tracy Armstrong won skins; C & D skins were won by Terry Smeltzer, Kent Barnes and Jim Ackerman; in seniors Gord Clark and Don Watt had skins. Contest Prizes of a dozen Titleist ProV1 golf balls went to Terry Smeltzer in the hole 1 draw for hitting the fairway; hole 3 draw for hitting the green was won by Garry Riopelle; hole 8 closest to 150 marker was won by Richard Beaubien; and Mike Newton for hole 9 longest putt. SENIOR MEN INTERSECTIONAL
The Senior Men’s Intersectional was held Sept. 13 at Metcalfe Golf Club. The team representing Mountain Creek included Wayne Deschamps, Bryan Gormley, Richard Beauchamp, Stu Thompson, Rick Sulpher, Ray Tosh, Stu Muir, John Gelowsky replaced by Denis Tessier, Gary Croucher, Greg Fagan, David Blackburn (alternate) and Gary Riopelle. The Mountain Creek team played well as all members contributed points to our team total of 39. Unfortunately it was one point less than the host team of Metcalfe, which had 40 points to win the division, so Mountain Creek will host this event next summer. Lady Luck wasn’t very kind on the final hole. In the second to last match, the Metcalfe player topped his second shot on the par 5 and it managed to roll through the hazard, not bounce over but roll through what was a ditch about 10 yards wide and full of very thick grass. We have all had good bounces and bad bounces in golf and this was a good roll for Metcalfe and not for Mountain Creek. The team had three six-point winners. Congratulations to Denis Tessier, Ray Tosh and Gary Croucher. SENIOR LADIES INTERSECTIONAL
The Senior Ladies’ Intersectional team comprised of C. Deschamps, K. Machan, P. Glahs, L. Homulus, W. Tessier, J. Jones, G. Frewen, and L. Mulligan. These intrepid ladies played Aug. 29 at Mountain Creek against players from Eagle Creek, Deep River and Kingsway. All the six-pointers were made by Eagle Creek players M. Parisien, D. Sheridan, J. Corriveau, D. Wilhelm, S. Dodge and Ally Downs. Despite an excellent effort by all, the MC ladies will remain in Division H and will, like the men, be hosting this event next year. MUNRO CUP
Mountain Creek Men’s team won the Munro Cup Sept. 24 hosted by Madawaska Golf club. With 10 scores counting out of 14 players, the Mountain Creek team won by six strokes over Pakenham and Madawaska. Stu Thompson was the low shooter for the Creek with a fine 75 (including 5 birdies) and five other players had scores of 79 or better: Nathan Machan, Devo Devine, Wayne
ROUTES AVAILABLE! Jim Hargraft shot a 69, bettering his age by one, at Mountain Creek. Deschamps, Eric Cormier and Shane Fagan. Congratulations to the team of Zach Fagan, Chris O’Brien, Gary Croucher, Jeff Needham, Josh Moffat, Denis Tessier, Stu Thompson, Devo Devine, Nathan Machan, Wayne Deschamps, Eric Cormier, Shane Fagan, Jim Grenier and Dave Major. The men are looking forward to another Munro Cup next year. THREE-MAN EVENT
The three-man event, with a par of 118 for the course, saw the team of Stu Thompson, Nathan Machan and Mike Newton tie with the team of Bryan Gormley, Eric Irons and Paul Petrie with scores of 116. The 3-hole playoff went to Bryan, Eric and Paul by one stroke. The team of Eric Cormier, Jim Grenier and Greg Schaepper tied for third with the team of Gary Croucher, Ray Tosh and Stu Muir with a total of 119. It was a fun event and another beautiful Sunday for golf at the Creek. Thanks to all who participated and made this a successful event.

Many of Eastern Ontario’s best teenage hockey players took to the ice in Arnprior last Saturday. A U18 AAA showcase took place at Nick Smith Centre, bring-
ing teams from across the Ottawa region together for a full day of games. Arnprior’s Sean Marcellus is the game day and events manager for the league. He explained that Smiths Falls was originally to host the event, but a double booking gave the town
where the rivers meet the opportunity. “It’s really good hockey and I’m happy to bring it to Arnprior today,” Marcellus said. Teams playing included Pembroke, Cumberland, Nepean, Kemp-
tville and Gloucester. The U18 AAA league is currently in year two of a three-year pilot project. It replaces the minor hockey AAA midget league with one more closely aligned with junior teams in the region. The Pembroke team,
for instance, mirrors its systems of play and other aspects with that of the Pembroke Lumber Kings junior team, Marcellus said. He anticipates the league is here to stay. “So far we are good,” he said.

Packers in first place of CCHL2 division things off in overtime as Labrosse scored just 27 seconds in on the powerplay (too many men on the ice at 19:31 of the third for the Flyers). Things got heated in the second period as the Flyers goalie Reilly Tondreau got penalties for goalie leaving the crease, attempt to injure, instigator and two game misconducts. He was replaced in net by Sam Limoges-Ring. Packers Brad Richardson also got sent to the sin bin for two fighting infractions as a result of the scrum. Overall the Packers had 55 penalty minutes and the Flyers had 91. On Sunday at home the Packers fell to the Casselman Vikings 9-4 with goals by Bailey Hein, Richardson, Labrosse had two, The Packers are on the road this week as they travel to Brockville on Oct. 5, are in Athens on Oct. 8 and Oct. 14 they are in Westport. They are back home again on Oct. 19 when they host Richmond at 8 p.m.

The Arnprior Packers held on to first place of the Richardson Division of the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 after going 1-1 on the weekend. On Sat. Oct. 1 the Packers travelled to Prescott to face the Flyers and won in overtime 7-6. The Packers came out strong in the first period with goals by Jack Rouleau, Ben Sellars and Jonathan Ready and the Flyers only put one on the board. In the second period it was a much tighter game as the Flyers scored four goals. The Packers answered back with three goals late in the frame by Bailey Hein, Mathew Labrosse and Lucas Brown. The Flyers tied it up at 11:46 of the third on a powerplay goal by Carson Pickup. It didn’t take long for the Packers to finish

Audrey more than earned her quarter for this duty Mary Cook Mary’s Memories
Old Herman was there again to make another plea to Mother. Herman was a bachelor who lived alone in a hut of a house, deep in the bush off the Northcote Side Road. Mother was only in his house once. She said that was enough to last her a lifetime. The first time Old Herman came to Mother with a request was to ask her do to his laundry once a week, a job, he said, that would pay handsomely. Those were his exact words. Well, money was scarce and any chance Mother had to make a few extra dollars was not to be ignored. Old Herman arrived with his laundry in a couple grain bags and after tub after tub of boiling hot water and lots of slivered soap, the water was still black as your boot. Mother got out of that deal in a hurry. This time he came to see if my sister Audrey would be interested in making a few a bits of cash to tidy up his house because his sister was coming to visit and he didn’t think she would be too impressed with what she would find. Poor Audrey was never part of the discussion. Mother said she was sure she would be up to the job of putting his house in shape. Goodness knows she had lots of experience with housework in our house. Audrey wasn’t too impressed, but the thought of earning a whole dollar for a day’s work won her over and off she went with old Herman in his buggy on a Saturday morning. That meant most of the chores that day fell onto my shoulders. Well, the morning wasn’t half over when I saw Audrey walking down our long lane at such a clip I thought she may have seen a bear. She slammed into the kitchen, her face beet red from the long walk from Old Herman’s farm and with a violent bang, she slapped a quarter on the kitchen table. “I quit,” she roared. Mother stopped stirring whatever she was stirring on the stove and just looked at Audrey, as if she had never laid eyes on her before in her life. “You quit?” I had my eyes on the quarter. “That’s right,” Audrey said. “I could hardly get in the door for garbage. Did you know he keeps his baby pigs in a box beside the stove? The smell would knock you over. And the dirty dishes were stacked sky-high and just about covered the table. I took one look at the greasy pans on the stove and knew it would take an army to clean up the place.” She paused for a breath of air. “As soon as I walked in the door, he handed me that quarter and said he was going to the barn to do chores and he would pay me the rest when he came in for his dinner, which he expected me to make, too.” Listening to Audrey was like watching a movie at the O’Brien Theatre in Renfrew. I was sure Mother would
lace into her for quitting a job. Mother hated quitters. But she just listened and made the occasional clucking sound and nodded as Audrey described the hut Old Herman lived in. Finally, even though the day wasn’t half over and being a Saturday and all, which meant it was bath night, Audrey asked Mother if she would mind if she had her bath then and there. Mother filled the old oval tub with water from the reservoir, Audrey stripped right there in the kitchen, threw her clothes out into the woodshed and sunk into the warm water. If Audrey had stayed the full day and came home with a whole dollar, it was understood that it would be handed over to Mother. As Audrey scrubbed herself raw with the face cloth and soap, Mother patted the quarter on the kitchen table, and said, “You can keep the quarter. Goodness knows you’ve earned it.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

JCS Stables wraps up Rising Star series with 10 champions On an absolutely beautiful day, the Rising Star Series recently held its third and final horse show clinic of the season. The clinic on Aug. 27 at JCS Stables just outside Arnprior drew more than 40 competitors from various communities, including Pembroke, Chalk River, Renfrew, Arnprior, Kinburn, Nepean, Kanata and Ottawa. As well over 200 spectators attended to cheer on the participants. Competitors, coaches and spectators gained knowledge through comments and evaluations from clinician, Kitty Bowland of Renfrew. Ribbons were awarded to 5th place and division champions of the day received special prizes. Additionally, competitors with the most total season points in each division, earned at the three Rising Star shows, were awarded season ending championship trophies. There are a lot of individuals responsible for bringing the horse show clinics together, but the participants are the most important. JCS Stables thanks the generosity of its sponsors and the numerous volunteers who helped to provide for a safe, fun-filled and exciting day and season. Results of the third JCS Stables Rising Star Series Horse Show Clinic as well as the season ending champions are as follows (all ribbons were provided by TTO Management of Waterdown):

The new strategies are being put to use in classrooms to help students further develop their math skills, and prepare them for the future. “Our goal for the session was to give teachers specific ways to develop students’ number sense - to see patterns in and relationships between numbers to make it easier to understand and be fluent with number facts,” explained Denault. “Another of our goals for this day was to continue to develop and build on the consistency of strategies across the RCCDSB from Kindergarten to Grade 8,” added Joyce.
