Surprise pumping station relocation worries McNab-Braeside council john.carter@metroland.com
Horton council may be angry it is losing this area’s pumping station on the proposed Energy East pipe-
line, but McNab-Braeside council is not pleased it is being moved to the Stewartville area. Councillors expressed shock and concern at their Oct. 6 meeting on hearing the news. Not only are they
worried that having the station in the township could mean an increased safety and pollution threat, but they are not happy TransCanada is making decisions without consulting local officials.
“I don’t understand the process,” said Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden. “We were concerned about the safety of the bloody pipeline before … I think our risk has increased hundredfold.”
He said he is “flabbergasted” that TransCanada could make such decisions without consulting municipal governments. “This is ludicrous,” he said. See ENERGY EAST, page 2

Energy East pumping station move dashes Horton’s pipe dreams Sherry Haaima
Sherry.haaima@metroland.com
Horton council is not happy with Energy East. While the township had previously lent its support to the TransCanada Energy East pipeline proposal and
agreed to sell land at the township’s gravel pit on Lochwinnoch Road to the company to house a pumping station, Energy East recently disclosed it would no longer need the land. Instead it plans to build the station on land in neighbouring McNab-Braeside, a prospect that was greeted with
concern by that township’s council. The pipeline proposal, estimated to cost $12 billion, plans to convert about 3,000 kilometres of natural gas pipeline, as well as build about 1,600 kilometres of new pipeline, to transport crude oil from Alberta and Saskatchewan to refineries and port
facilities in Ontario and New Brunswick. More than 2,000 kilometres of pipeline would run through Ontario, a longer section than in any other province. Energy East Pipeline community relations lead for Ontario Jon Pitcher
faced an upset Horton council Oct. 6, surprised by the unexpected demise of the pumping station deal. Earlier this year, council passed an option-to-purchase agreement with TransCanada Energy East Pipeline. See BELUGA, Page 15
Energy East decisions concern councils Continued from front
“I’m incensed that they didn’t have the courtesy to tell us about this,” said Coun. Heather Lang. “I’d hope we would get the rationale for this from them.” “I can’t see where 10 kilometres makes a difference when they are 100 kilometres apart,” said Coun. Scott Brum. “Why did they not tell us before now?” Mayor Tom Peckett, who attended a Horton council meeting earlier in the day when TransCanada officials explained the change, said he wasn’t pleased with what he heard and Horton council was “extremely upset.” Their councillors felt they had A map shared by TransCanada representatives at the Horton council gone out on a limb in supporting the meeting showed the new location of the Energy East pumping station project and providing a location, and now have been left high and dry. to be just east of the Madawaska River in the Stewartville area.
Furthermore, TransCanada didn’t let them, as well as McNab-Braeside council, know until the last minute, citing confidentiality, he added. Peckett said he understands the whole pipeline is being affected by the decision not to locate a port in Quebec because of the endangered status of the Beluga whales and that hydraulics are involved in the change, but “I couldn’t make heads nor tails” of the TransCanada report on the matter, he said. It’s concerning that the report makes mention of street names in the township “that I don’t even recognize,” he said. It appears the pumping station is being moved to the east side of the Madawaska River, he added. Since the company is negotiating
to put the pumping station on private property, it doesn’t have to involve the municipality, he said. Coun. Mark MacKenzie said council needs to monitor the proposal and ensure there are shut-off valves on both sides of the station. Councillors agreed they should invite TransCanada representatives back to a council meeting to explain the new plans in more detail. MacKenzie noted the company had located some test equipment at Andy’s RV on Flat Rapids Road between the owner’s home and business, saying it would only be there six to eight weeks. However, it’s been there almost a year and is “quite an inconvenience to him,” he said, adding council should also raise that issue with the company.

Voters at advance polling stations throughout the region, from Constance Bay to Arnprior, complained of long line-ups lasting more than an hour. Seniors and the disabled were among those voting on the first day of the advance polls on Oct. 9. None were backed up outside, but some did need a chair to rest in or opted to leave altogether.

Students eagerly applaud independent candidate at debate Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Arnprior District High School students heard from four candidates in the upcoming federal election last week, but it was independent Hec Clouthier’s message that drew the loudest applause. On three occasions it was the selfdeprecating Clouthier - describing himself as an outsider fighting the popular elites on Parliament Hill – who drew enthusiastic clapping and even a holler or two. Conservative Cheryl Gallant didn’t attend the Oct. 7 event in the big gym with almost every class in attendance. Liberal Jeff Lehoux mentioned his war injury and humanitarian work in Africa. New Democrat Dan McCarthy cited his experience as a school principal and labour lawyer. Green Stefan Klietsch talked about graduating from Renfrew Collegiate Institute and the University of Ottawa. After introductions, moderator Oliver Jacob of the Student Activity Association posed five questions to the candidates. The first had to do with making post-secondary education more affordable. Klietsch said the Green party will
immediately abolition tuition for lower income students and for all students by 2020. Taxes will go up, especially on those who benefit most from their education. Lehoux said the Liberals will raise an existing grant to $3,000 for fulltime students and $1,800 for part time. More flexibility in student loans will be offered, meaning there will be no requirement to pay back loans until the former student is earning more than $25,000 a year. Liberals pledge $50 million for aboriginal students. McCarthy said the NDP understands the future is in the knowledge economy, which affects both college and university students. The party will offer stable, long-term funding to universities that will eventually see tuition costs go down. The party is also looking at removing interest from loans. New Democrats will also create 40,000 paid internships, apprenticeships, and co-op placements, he said. Clouthier said there is nothing free in life, than drew an analogy with McDonald’s offering free French fries from 2 to 3 p.m. The restaurant will run out of potatoes or a machine breaks down. He said the simplest

Cheryl Gallant didn’t attend. strategy is to have government take off 50 per cent of what is owed by every student. Lehoux challenged Clouthier’s suggestion, saying an independent MP can lobby party MPs for votes to get an idea passed – but it almost never becomes reality. “He’ll promise anything, but it’s not realistic,” Lehoux said. Clouthier shot back, saying inde-
pendent candidates have a vote that are needed by parties. “They need my vote to pass legislation,” said the former Liberal MP. “I know the system inside out. I can get the job done. I’m an optimist, not a pessimist.” That earned him his first big applause of the morning. The second question involved improving healthcare and reducing wait
times. Lehoux noted that healthcare is provincial jurisdiction, but that it should include federal leadership. He talked about the health accord Liberals created in the 1990s, and how it ensured certain dollars to provinces. The Conservatives didn’t re-sign it, he said. His party pledged $3 billion for homecare because “our seniors are too often forgotten.” Mental health and a pharmacare strategy are also priorities. Lehoux also reiterated that he was a paramedic (in the military). McCarthy called healthcare a universal right Canadians cannot afford to lose, and that it takes national leadership to protect it. He talked about steady funding and setting up panels to investigate ways to improve the system, unlike the Conservatives who will cut another $36 billion. The NDP will make doctors more accessible, a problem particularly acute in rural areas. They also promised a universal pharmaceutical system, but are reconsidering it now because of the Trans Pacific Partnership. “We are going to have to rethink pharmacare,” McCarthy said. See FEDERAL CANDIDATES page 5
R0013468067

Federal candidates respond to five questions from ADHS students Clouthier dismissed the statistics cited by other candidates. The most important aspect of healthcare, he said, is taking charge of your own health. “Look at me. I’m 65 years old and I ran the Boston Marathon this year,” he said. “I’m a short guy with short legs. But I’m telling you to get in good physical health. Look after your own physical health.” Klietsch said poverty is the cause of many health problems, which is why the Greens will create a guaranteed liveable income and a pharmacare system to take advantage of buying in bulk. They will also put more funding into low income dental work. He added that, in contradiction to his party, Klietsch favours private health insurance and opposes the current “monopoly.” The third question was about improving and protecting the environment. McCarthy said NDP leader Tom Mulcair quit his role as Quebec’s environment minister because a developer was allowed to infringe on park space. He also said Canada has been a laggard on the international stage, abandoned the Kyoto protocol, and put all its eggs in the oil basket. The party favours a cap-and-trade system. Clouthier said cap-and-trade lets polluters buy their way out of taking responsibility. He would fine them 50 per cent of their profits for a first infraction; 75 per cent for a second; and shut them down for a third. “You gotta hit them right in the pocketbook,” he said. Klietsch touted the Greens’ revenue neutral carbon tax plan. It will reward those who use the least carbon
and pay dividends to every Canadian Conservatives create. “We need to change that,” he from those who use more. He also deplored the gutting of environmen- said. The fifth question was about the tal laws under the Conservatives. Lehoux decried Conservative om- best candidate to represents the ridnibus bills that hide such guttings. ing on Parliament Hill.

A long-time and well-known Ottawa Valley politician is throwing his hat back into the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke race once again. Hector Clouthier, 65, has held top management positions with the Hector Clouthier & Sons lumbering firm and Hector Clouthier Consulting Ltd., and was the executive director of the Ontario Horse Racing Industry (OHRIA) for four years. In 1997, he was elected MP for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, a position he held for three years before moving on to the Prime Minister’s Office, where he served as a special advisor until 2003. His past political and civic experience includes being a parliamentary secretary for National Defence. His volunteer work includes president of the Pembroke Chamber of Commerce, campaign chair for the Upper Ottawa Valley United Way, chair of the Ottawa Valley Lumbering Association, and a board member of both the Pembroke Regional Hospital and St. Joseph’s Non Profit Housing. Clouthier and wife Debbie have been married for 40 years and have three sons, Geoff, Nicholas, and Tyler. Q. Why are you running? “Having lived my entire life in the riding of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, I feel I have the knowledge, experience, and energy – I ran the famous Boston Marathon this year at age 65 – to be a strong, pro-active representative for this area in Ottawa.” Q. What is the biggest federal issue facing your riding and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? Clouthier says there are many federal issues facing the riding, all of them important, but possibly the biggest facing Renfrew is the four-laning of Highway 17. “The current MP likes to put the blame on the province regarding Highway 17, saying it’s a provincial responsibility, but that’s not entirely the case,” he says. “The truth of the matter is that, as part of the Trans-Canada Highway, the federal government can have a huge influence on upgrading the highway, just as it’s done in other regions of the country,” said Clouthier.
Green Party of Canada candidate Stefan Klietsch, 24, grew up in the riding of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke and still considers the family home as his most permanent address. His mother is a 9-1-1 dispatcher and father a semi-retired forest fighter and handyman. He has an older sister, Monika. However, Klietsch does live in Barrhaven and is a security guard. The Renfrew Collegiate Institute and University of Ottawa graduate has spent much of his time thinking about and discussing political matters. Beginning as a university student in 2011, he has volunteered with the Green party. In 2012 he began volunteering in party leader Elizabeth May’s parliamentary office. Some 20 of his letters have been published in the Renfrew Mercury. He blogs about federal policy regularly as Moderate Moose, and has campaigned on behalf of two Green candidates. He now feels ready for the MP position, to restore sober, ethical discourse to the House of Commons. Q: Why are you running? A: “I am running because I believe in the power of substance and integrity,” Klietsch said, “and because our democracy is in crisis.” He deplores the recently signed 30-year trade deal with the authoritarian government in China. It means China can sue over laws made for democratic Canadians by their elected leaders. He also favours proportional representation to replace the first-past-the-post system that sees a mere 39 per cent of voters electing a majority government. Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing your riding and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? A: “The biggest federal issue facing this riding is global warming,” Klietsch said, adding that “no real action” was taken by the incumbent Conservative. He favours, along with the vast majority of economists, a move to carbon pricing. The Green strategy would see rewards for those companies that use the least amount carbon.
In this late stage of the election campaign, most people are familiar with Liberal candidate Jeff Lehoux’s military background. He is a retired veteran after spending nearly 10 years in the service. The 38-year old Renfrew man was injured while on duty in Afghanistan with the Canadian Armed Forces and received a medical release. Lehoux also does humanitarian work as he had been an executive member of the International Children’s Awareness Canada since 2009. He has travelled to Cameroon, Africa for various projects to work and assess humanitarian efforts. He volunteered for a few federal and provincial campaigns before he joined the armed forces, but couldn’t really be political during his time with the military, he notes. Q: Why are you running? A: “When I was badly injured in Afghanistan and released, I had to deal with SISIP Financial Services (assistance with personal finances, retraining, rehabilitation, etc.). The service was abysmal, difficult and I was left with a large feeling of injustice,” he said. “My medical release was also expedited so I couldn’t reach the 10 years of service and my medical pension was denied.” Lehoux says the country “can do better.” The Conservatives say they like veterans, so he also questions their support for First Nations or the “overly competent” municipal leaders who are underfunded and points out the fact the Conservatives have not re-signed the health accord. “I wanted to right a lot of wrongs and that’s why I decided to jump in with both feet,” he says. Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing your riding and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? A: “There are multiple issues, but what I hear all the time is everything ties into economic prosperity. In the 15 years with Mrs. Gallant, some areas still don’t have proper Internet services. The railways were removed and little done in infrastructure like the highway, even though there has been requests for years,” he says.
Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke federal NDP candidate Dan McCarthy is an experienced lawyer and community leader who has been involved in politics for many years. For 17 years, he was Canadian director of research for the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, responsible for co-ordinating skills training across the country. He arrived in the area in 1993 and by ’95 was president of the party’s riding association. As a volunteer, he has contributed his expertise as a board member for organizations like the Institute of Work and Health and UnionSavings and is president of the Ottawa Valley Food Co-operative. He and wife, Felicite Stairs, enjoy bird-watching, hiking and camping and he plays recreational hockey regularly. Q. Why are you running? McCarthy gives three reasons. The first is NDP leader Tom Mulcair’s experience and good, solid leadership skills says McCarthy. “The second reason was I became absolutely disgusted at what I can only refer to as the disrespect for parliamentary tradition - all the ways the Conservatives try to circumvent democracy – omnibus bills, closure, prorogation, the misuse of private member’s bills.” His third reason is environment and climate change. “We don’t have children, but we have 34 nieces and nephews and seven great nieces and nephews. They need a future. I’m part of a generation that is leaving them a burden. It’s time to do something.” Q. What is the biggest federal issue facing your riding and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? “To me, the biggest federal issue is income security,” he says. The difficulty is the tendency to focus on the riding’s two largest employers, CNL and Garrison Petawawa, and while they’re extremely important forget to look at ways to keep youth in the Valley. “The federal government spends an awful lot of money on marketing and advertising; can you not say ‘we demand you create a couple of paid internships’. How about a $15 minimum wage so they can pay off their debts? “

Meet RNP Conservative candidate: Cheryl Gallant Derek Dunn Derek.dunn@metroland.com
Conservative Party of Canada candidate Cheryl Gallant, 55, did not respond to repeated requests for an interview. Although she grew up outside the riding, Gallant has lived in Pembroke for more than two decades. She has been the riding’s MP since 2000, being elected five times, the first time as an Alliance member and subsequently as Conservative. Before her political career, Gallant worked for a major Canadian life insurance company as a group insurance executive and for a time was an office manager of a family-owned professional practice. She has served as the chair of the City of Pembroke Downtown Development Commission and was a member of the city’s economic advisory committee. Gallant is chair of the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association and a member of the standing committees on national defence and industry, science and technology. She is married and has four daughters.

A flat fee meant to generate revenue-neutral carbon taxation would pay dividends to every Canadian, he says. Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the region? On the most pressing issues facing the region, he cited poverty and the need for a guaranteed liveable income. Restoring door-to-door postal delivery is important to his party, though Klietsch questions the need for a postal monopoly. He also favours light rail, saying the party will fund nation-wide infrastructure to the tune of $6.4 billion. Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them? A: “Canada hasn’t quite turned into a dictatorship,” he said, “but it is on a slippery slope - accelerated by current Prime Minister Stephen Harper with massive omnibus bills” that introduce laws few majority government MPs have time to understand before being whipped to approve.
“... all we need is someone with the political clout to get the funding.” As an Independent MP, Clouthier says he will work for the riding instead of a political party leader “who looks upon us as a vote in the bag. These leaders don’t spend a lot of time thinking about us unless they need to, and they don’t spend a lot of their time trying to understand what our people are all about, or what they might want or need,” he says. “It’s for this reason that the system is broken. Far from being a democracy, it has more the appearance of a dictatorship, with party leaders, or non-elected staffers, ordering elected MPs to speak and vote a certain way. Or in our case, ordering our MP not to speak at all. “Political parties have their own MPs in their back pocket, but I’ve never been a big fan of the whole back-pocket thing and being taken for granted. And so, as an Independent, I’ll bring our wants and needs to them, rather than their wants and needs to us.”
Liberal: Jeff Lehoux
THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS
Continued from Page 6
He points out the Liberals have announced the largest infrastructure investment in Canadian history that would include $125 billion in spending over the next decade. Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them? A: “I believe both are intertwined. It is infrastructure and also quality of lives for the middle-class and seniors.” He says the Liberals are committed to both and, if voted in, within three months they would implement a seven per cent income tax cut for the middle class. As for the $533 tax-free child benefit, in this riding there are 21,000 children under the poverty line and the child benefit would alleviate that, he says. “We would enhance the CPP and the old age pension for seniors to retire in dignity. “There’s also work to do on cost indexing as cost of living goes up and not cut income splitting for pensions.”
NDP: Dan McCarthy Continued from Page 6
For those who are mid-career, precarious work is the new buzzword – this is seasonal, term, contract or part-time, he says. “We need to reform employment insurance to recognize the realities of precarious work and assist people during those bridge periods.” Considering seven of 10 Canadians don’t have workplace pensions, “we have to do the right thing” in reforming the system, he says. “If you don’t have CPP, savings, or workplace pension you’re in poverty, so that’s critical.” In terms of income security for seniors, the NDP’s position is to protect the pension, he says. “We also want to keep pension income-splitting.” With youth unemployment at 14 per cent and baby boomers working longer, “we’re also in favour of moving the retirement age back to 65,” he adds.
As an Independent MP, Clouthier says his commitment is to deliver positive things to the riding, leveraging the fact any government will need his vote to get legislation passed in what is surely going to be a minority situation. “The riding will finally have the political clout to get the kind of federal funding and support needed to make Renfrew-NipissingPembroke what it should rightfully be.” Q. Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them? “Nationally, there are huge issues facing our country, such as the economy, health care, foreign affairs, terrorism, and the environment, to name a few. But to be entirely honest, my priorities will be more local than national, although it is my intent to represent this riding faithfully with my vote on those very important matters. “That said, it will be my paramount goal to improve the quality of life for the people who are most important to me, those being the people who live, work and call Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke home.”

REQUEST FOR QUOTATION Q. Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada and how do you plan to address them? “I really think that (it is a) living wage, we need the federal government to support the $15 minimum wage and we’re looking for the provinces to follow that target. A couple with two kids both working full time at minimum wage – they’re in poverty. And then you’ve got the working poor making slightly more than the minimum wage. That’s a huge issue. We have to look at families getting ahead. “I really think we should look at some of our universal programs that Canadians are incredibly proud of – public school, health care, old age security – brought by the CCF (Co-operative Commonwealth Federation) and the NDP. National affordable child care is important and it’s got to be universal – that’s a big vision issue that will become a cherished universal program in its time “

Government advertising must deliver substance E
ach week more than 1,000 English and French community newspapers just like the one you are reading today go about the business of telling stories that matter to the communities they serve. We are at your rinks and schools. We are at your council meeting. We are at the scene when tragedy strikes. We celebrate your milestones. Our job is to cover your neighbourhood, warts and all. And we are good at it. We are in towns big and small. Independent research shows that more than 70 per cent of Canadians read their community paper. Despite our collective strength, ours is a medium easy to ignore. Because we focus on Canada one community at a time, we lack the sex appeal of other media. We’ve seen our share of federal government advertising gradually erode over the years. Our regional and national associations have met with government MPs, opposition MPs, cabinet ministers and senior bureaucrats to promote our case. We are always met with courtesy and a promise that things will get better. Well things are not getting better. So despite it being contradictory to everything we believe in journalistically, the time has come to tell you. In short, the federal government is all but ignoring your community newspaper. We believe this means the federal government is ignoring you and your community’s right to be informed about programs and services offered by the Government of Canada. In the last fiscal year, the federal government spent $75 million on advertising. More than $26 million of that went to TV ads, while another $15.5 million went to Internet advertising – an industry dominated by American-based companies like Google and Facebook. Creating ads and paying ad agencies ate away another $10 million. Radio advertising cost just under $7 million. By comparison, community newspapers saw a paltry $867,000 in total advertising from Ottawa – or an average of about $25 per week per newspaper.

The way in which your government uses your money to communicate with you is very telling. TV and Internet ads work to build brand, not to inform. Your community newspaper generates debate and serves as a forum for discussion – and is also one of the few places where local MPs actually receive editorial coverage outside election season. That’s why those MPs submit letters to the editor, columns or buy their own local advertising to share their work with the community. They know the power of your local community paper. TAXPAYER-FUNDED ‘NEWS’ STORIES
The federal government knows it, too. The Harper government spent $1.25 million with a company called NewsCanada to create its own stories – stories it offers for free to print and broadcast outlets. The vast majority of these government-approved stories are never published. But you and I paid for them. It is disconcerting that the federal government spent 50 per cent more creating its own news than the total advertising buy in Canadian newspapers. The federal government strategy appears to be that it’s more important to make pretty ads than to put relevant information about programs and services in front of readers of community newspapers. They’re telling you they’d rather give your tax dollars to Facebook and Google than Canadian-based companies that invest in local journalism. If the federal government continues to ignore our community newspapers, some communities may lose them. When that happens a vital voice is silenced. If you believe, as we do, that government should invest in meaningful communication with citizens through community newspapers, we ask you to help us. Contact your local candidate. We’d love to hear from you, too. Give us a call at 613-623-6571 or write a letter to the editor and email theresa.fritz@metroland.com. We’ll continue to make sure your voice is heard.

Gallant no-shows disrespect voters To the Editor: I watched the Deep River All Candidates Meeting on the COGECO community channel the other night. I found the candidates who attended - Hector Clouthier (Independent), Stefan Klietsch (Green Party), Jeff Lehoux (Liberal) and Dan McCarthy (NDP) - all polite and civil, some with more experience than others. However, they were all able to express their
views and platforms in a clear, concise manner, but most importantly they seem to convey a genuine concern about the people they will be representing. Missing was incumbent Cheryl Gallant (Conservative) who appears by her actions to become aloof and distance from her constituents. Another example would be her unavailability to answer questions from the Arnprior
Chronicle-Guide on various Conservative policies. I have in the past voted Conservative, but Cheryl Gallant duck-and-flee arrogance appears to be lack of respect for the voting public and has lead me to be voting for one of the other candidates. Elections are really about local issues and people, not far away promises. George Powell Arnprior

Let common sense guide us into voting for a righteous government To the Editor: Like many, I’ve seen and read a great deal in regards to voting in our upcoming election. I would say I’m not nearly as informed as some, but better informed than others. I’m a Canadian, who loves my land and am thankful to live here. Voting is an absolute must for me as a result. As I try to separate all of the issues and make decisions that have substance, I keep coming back to the ‘KISS’ method – or ‘keep it simple, silly’. So, boiling it down to common sense and applying the three main party platform principles to my household and family really help
me. When I do so, it seems to me it looks like this: With one approach (Conservatives), I have a budget, bills are getting paid, and I’m paying down my debt. I’m not able to do all I’d like to do for me or for my family yet, but with this approach, that day is coming. With another approach (Liberals), we will all get to go into debt and spend money for several years – on things we believe we need now and cannot wait for. Each of us in the family will borrow and spend so the combined loans and debt will be hard to calculate; along with how we plan to pay it back. We will hope our
spending will provide (somehow) more household income and later on, we’ll come up with a plan to pay it back. And while we’re doing that, we can legally smoke marijuana. Finally, another approach (NDP), would be to put my children into daycare and not concern myself with how I can be their primary caregiver. I can hopefully continue working, but chances are strong that I will need to be retrained for a more competitive and higher-level paying job with larger companies and organizations. This will be likely because the small businesses like the ones I’ve for and through which I’ve provided for my family will be unable to operate and be profitable once the minimum
wage is raised beyond their capability to pay. So, my children will be in daycare and I’ll be on social assistance – and be hopeful that workers in higher paying jobs will bear the financial cost of this approach so that it is sustainable for me and for my family. This may seem an over-simplified approach that doesn’t take into account many other important issues; among them being the environment, national safety and the sanctity of life. However, it is my belief based on experience that if one is responsible for – and works to a planned approach
amongst the BQ, Greens and Independents. Remember no Independents were elected in 2011. Let us say a miracle happens and all six Independents that are running, get elected.

Re. powerless independents. Mr. Clouthier claims that he will have considerable power in a future parliament because the nation will be faced with a minority government. Let’s examine this un-
der some likely scenarios. According to the CBC Poll Tracker (Oct. 8) the three main parties are estimated to win (approximately) the following seats: Conservative 130, Liberal 120, NDP 85. Since there are 338 seats in total that leaves around three seats to be distributed

in running the basics of a household (or business) – then there will be opportunity to apply similar principles to other important issues as we go down the road.

Same old, same old: the real reason Hector Clouthier is running To the editor: I found Donald Broome’s article in last week’s Renfrew Mercury/ Arnprior Chronicle-Guide to be most bizarre. I thought it was interesting that this man, who now sings Clouthier’s praises, is the same person who, in his letter to the editor of Oct. 2, 2010 edition of the Pembroke Observer, criticized Clouthier for his “blitzkrieg political offensive across the riding” and likened him to Joseph Goebbels “who believed if you told the same fibs often enough, people
will eventually believe them.” In the same letter to the editor, Broome unmasked Clouthier’s weak argument for why, even though “he was always against it,” he supported the gun registry legislation. His excuse was “because the Prime Minister told me to.” That Broome has had an epiphany and now supports Clouthier as his choice for our riding is most incredulous. Ironically, in his prolonged and somewhat disjointed letter, Donald Broome goes on to give all the reasons we shouldn’t vote for Clouthier
- forgiveness aside. Clouthier has been known to flirt with many political entities. In typical Clouthier style, unable to secure the Liberal candidacy, decides to run as an Independent. As he said in the Citizen, Oct. 7, 2015, “I’ll tell the people here, ‘I’ll have power, and if I have power, then you will have power.’” Clouthier, the true Machiavellian, is only interested in his own power and he’ll do whatever is necessary to attain it even if that means switching sides on a regular basis or reusing his
old Liberal sign by whiting out any references to the Liberal Party. Who will he “white out” next in his quest for power? The sad thing is, that by dividing the vote, in his selfish drive to get back into Parliament, he might deprive us the real opportunity to unseat the incumbent MP and have to use Broome’s term the “ respectable” Jeff Lehoux represent us as our new Member of Parliament in new Liberal or Coalition government. Now that would be power as our riding’s interests would be foremost
and our views would definitely be heard. Given that the Liberals are now tied or ahead in most opinion polls, maybe it’s time for Clouthier to put aside his self-interests and throw his support to the selected Liberal candidate, Jeff Lehoux. Then we may truly have an alternative to represent our riding and create positive changes for all Canadians. Barry Blier Arnprior
Coalition, Conservatives not likely to need Independent votes Continued from page 9
If the Conservatives form a government and receive the complete support of all six ‘Independent’ seats, it will make no difference if the other two parties decide to bring them down. If the Liberals gain the support of all six seats, it will still not be sufficient for them to have a
majority of seats. So, where is the power of the Independents in a parliament such as the one described above? In theory, it is fine to think of the non-aligned, free thinking Independent who only cares about the interests of his/her constituency. Even if such an individual existed, he/she would have little to no power in the
next parliament. Although most voters make their choice based on their beliefs, it is worthwhile to consider the annual costs of electing an MP. Approximate costs include a salary of around $167,400. Annual expenses associated with the incumbent in Mr. Clouthier’s riding, Renfrew-NipissingPembroke were around $360,000. In
total, that is more than half a million dollars per annum …. a substantial cost. Is it worthwhile spending that amount of taxpayers’ money on a representative who will have little to no influence on important decisions affecting their riding? A cynic might say that Mr. Clouthier, having served as MP for RNP
from 1997-2000, needs a couple more years to qualify for a parliamentary pension (the minimum years to qualify is six). However, even if Mr. Clouthier’s motivation is pure, his assertion that his vote will be in demand is optimistic at best. Ellen Smith Arnprior

Notice of Revised Time
Women’s issues neglected by governing party To the Editor: Stephen Harper has said he wouldn’t make his daughter wear a niqab “just because she’s a girl.” I’m pretty sure that no one was worried he was about to do that, but thanks for taking one thing off the Fear List, Mr. Harper. Choosing to wear a niqab is a woman’s right in this country, not her obligation. That is all. However, Mr. Harper is happy to amp up the rhetoric because it distracts from his real record on women’s issues. Wage inequality is a real issue for millions of women in this country. The wage gap between men and women has
risen under Harper’s watch and is now twice the global average. Poverty, violence
Poverty rates in Canada (and particularly in this riding) are also on the rise for elderly women, single women and single-parent families headed by women. We still lack a national strategy to end violence against women. Judging by the turnover and makeup of his high-ranking staff, as well as his unprecedented questioning of the authority of the female Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Stephen Harper doesn’t listen to anyone, least of all women.
Justin Trudeau has committed to an inquiry into the shocking number of missing and murdered Aboriginal women in this country, something “not very high on the radar” of Mr. Harper. Mr. Trudeau has a plan to take action against poverty, and has made history by committing to a cabinet comprised of equal numbers of women and men. Ladies and gentlemen, that is the difference between true leadership and thinly veiled misogyny. Allison Gibson Arnprior

Use tip line to report Tory government’s arms deals To the Editor: Did you hear that the Conservatives are planning to set up a tip line for reporting “barbaric cultural practices” to the RCMP? Now, I know that many people are pooh-poohing this idea as more populist smoke and mirrors. Like
the whole niqab debacle, you might think that this is nothing more than a shiny bauble designed to distract the hoi polloi from real issues. It’s not like there is anything new going on, and behaviours and practices that are illegal in our country are not going to suddenly become extra
special super-illegal or anything. But I for one am stoked for this tip line. The first thing I am going to do as soon as the number is announced is report the Canadian government’s unconscionably barbaric practice of making a $15 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia, a nation that be-
heads teenagers and does not allow women to drive. Frankly, it turns my stomach. But finally we have a place where we can let our objection to this sickening practice be heard. Surely the propping up of a malicious nation state by selling them weapons of destruction is precisely
the kind of thing this tip line was designed to expose. I urge all decent and right-thinking Canadians to also call in and report this barbaric cultural practice. Andrew Fogarasi Arnprior

worked perfectly for the NRA subsidiary as the look of the idealized gun owner. She has collected millions of our tax payer dollars, been a national embarrassment and contributed nothing to the wealth and health of our constituency. On her watch we have had years of deficits, the accumulated surplus was spent, we lost our rail tracks, retirement age was raised to 67 and she voted against door-to-door mail delivery. Hec Clouthier has been running as an Independent off and on since 1999. The only time he won an election was as a Liberal, which speaks volumes for the power of the collective of a cohesive group with shared values and goals. Obviously he has an inability to work
with others. Being a team player with the skills to negotiate, compromise and mediate does not mean you are a lesser person; it does mean you can accomplish more in a group setting such as the Parliament of Canada. Individualist members are relegated to the back rows and shut off from power. We have seen with Ms. Gallant. Justin Trudeau has assembled an exemplary team of specialists and dedicated experts. He is not a one-man show like Harper or Mulcair. Jeff Lehoux is one of his remarkable team. Jeff will be able to communicate, negotiate and actually achieve results for us. Leanne Kernaghan Arnprior

The reason why leaves change colour There is no doubt that summer has come to an end. Beavers are busy adding insulating mud to their lodges and constructing food piles for winter sustenance. American Pipits - sparrow-sized birds that flit across ploughed fields and muddy shorelines - are now passing through. Overnight temperatures, at least on occasion, fall precariously near the freezing mark. And the leaves of deciduous trees are turning colour. The “fall colours” are an annual visual extravaganza that brings thousands of people to Algonquin Park every autumn. Although the date varies when the peak of the spectacular performance occurs, it usually happens between late September and early October. This year is different, with colours not at their peak at the time of writing. In fact, this might be one of the poorest years for the display. A number of factors such as the amount of the preceding months’ precipitation, the number of days with searing temperatures and drying winds, and the timing of the first frosts are factors that help shape the intensity of the leaf colour. One reason we normally have a rich display of colour is that there is a great a diversity of deciduous trees
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way in our area, each with their own fall colour. American Beeches turn a lovely copper. White Birches go yellow while Serviceberries transform to warm peach. Sugar Maples vary from brilliant yellow to orange and occasionally red. However, the most vibrant reds belong to Red Maples but oddly not all Red Maples. Unusual among maples, Red Maple flowers contain only one sex, and each tree bears one type of flower. Thus, some Red Maples are males and others are females. What is even more unusual is that in autumn, male trees bear flaming red leaves while females sport yellow ones!
Another fascinating fact is that most of the fall colours are present all summer, just hidden by layers of cells bearing chlorophyll, the magical compound instrumental to the sugar manufacturing process. However, at summer’s end chlorophyll starts breaking down, revealing the leaves’ hidden beauty. Why does chlorophyll disappear? Well, winter temperatures do not allow for transport of water and minerals from the soil, so photosynthesis cannot take place. Also, deciduous leaves have a large surface area that can lose water. If trees retained their leaves, desiccation would occur. So in preparation for winter, nutrients are retrieved from the leaves, and the breakdown of chlorophyll is part of that process. Then the dead leaves fall from the trees, giving autumn its other name: fall. While most colours are present, red is often produced at summer’s end. Red pigments capture specific wavelengths of light, some that produce heat. This prolongs the life of the leaf, allowing the tree to reclaim additional nutrients that would otherwise be lost when the leaves fall off. Regardless of the timing of its peak or intensity of its hues, fall co-

Beluga whales, hydraulic considerations cited for pumping station change Continued from Page 2
The agreement stated that if the pipeline proposal is approved as expected the company would buy the property for $144,000, not including the cost of the gravel. The reason given for the change is that TransCanada decided not to build marine and associated tank terminals at a specific location in Quebec and alternative route options being reviewed necessitate altering proposed pumping station locations. “There was a bit of a delay,” explained Pitcher. “Originally we had planned deepwater ports in Cacouna, Que., but due to concerns with Beluga whale habitat and the Belugas going from threatened to endangered we decided to not pursue a port in Cacouna. “What happens when we plan Energy East is we look at the entire route, we map it out, and then we place pump stations … for a natural gas system they’re about every 100 kilometres, because oil is a liquid it requires a bit closer together so they’re about every 60 kilometres,”
explained Pitcher. “Originally the Horton gravel pit was a perfect location,” he said. “But with moving that around, it actually had to move upstream, they discovered that there was a significant grading difference from what they originally suspected.” The shift brings the proposed pipeline about 12 kilometres into McNab-Braeside, likely on the east side of the Madawaska River. “There was just no way we could safely put it here, making sure it still worked. At this point, unless there are significant changes in the route, we won’t be needing that site now,” said Pitcher. Mayor Robert Kingsbury asked about the status of the option-to-purchase agreement, which extended over three years. “And so the two things that’ll happen - we can commit to purchasing the land anyway; the second one is I think there was additional compensation described to extend the option for another two years and the last one if neither
is done we’ll just kill switch the option to purchase, as it stands,” said Pitcher. He said at this point he doesn’t expect his company will buy the land. “Probably the best option for us (is) the agreed-upon price for the gravel pit,” said Kingsbury. “We passed that resolution in support (of the project), but that was based on the fact we had a pumping station here. Now it leaves a bad taste in our mouth to say we’re going out and supporting it.” Council will have to answer to the public on the issue, he said. “We were out there selling this to our residents and now they’re coming back to us and saying ‘Why did you bother?’” Coun. Dave Bennett said the company owes the township some concrete answers and the issue should have been communicated in a more effective way. “I think that if there was hydraulic issues we should have known up front long before you said, ‘Well, Horton’s out of the picture,’” said Bennett. “There’s no reason why we’re getting
this kind of communications this late in the game,” he said. There should be some financial contribution back to the township, Bennett added. Pitcher noted the township will keep the $14,000 deposit outlined in the option-to-purchase agreement. “To be quite honest with you where I’m sitting right now I would like our CAO to get hold of our lawyer and see if we can put a stop to any oil going across the township of Horton until this is resolved,” said Kingsbury. The company has talked with the landowners in McNab-Braeside and is working on the purchase of the property, said Pitcher. At the end of this year, explained Pitcher, TransCanada hopes to make a supplemental filing it hopes will encompass a complete filing to the National Energy Board, so the 15-month review and hearing process can begin “Construction, we’re hoping to being sometime in 2017, once those 15 months pass by, with 2020 commissioning and in service to New Brunswick,” said Pitcher.

White Lake’s Patrick Lindsay is excels in freestyle skiing Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
White Lake teenager Patrick Lindsay would rather be on skis than lacing up a pair of skates. It helps that he’s so good on the slopes. During the last few years, he has become committed to and has excelled in the sport of freestyle skiing. The sport consists of different disciplines including aerials and moguls. “I focus on slopestyle, big air and half pipe,” explained Lindsay. Slopestyle and half pipe are Olympic approved sports, while big air is featured only in the X Games. The concept of slopestyle is heading down a course, which includes a variety of obstacles such as rails and jumps. Halfpipe originated from surfing and then skateboarding, when surfers in California decided that trying to skate in some huge storm drains and empty swimming pools might be a fun. Skiers perform tricks as they head down the pipe.
Big air is essentially just one big jump. For someone to reach the levels of X Games or the Olympics, it requires a great deal of time and effort. Lindsay was been a snowboarder since he was eight years old, basically half his life – the Arnprior District High School student is now 16. He made the switch to skis when he was in Grade 9. In Grade 10, he was part of the Calabogie Peaks Freestyle club and presently he is part of the Freestyle Skiing Ontario and the Ontario Park and Pipe Team. “The idea is to get to the next level. First it was regional and now provincial and ultimately, to the national team,” said Lindsay. “It is my goal to make the national team and someday compete in the Olympics or even the X Games.” He has travelled to competitions throughout Quebec, Ontario and Whistler. This upcoming season, trips are already slated for Alberta and Colorado. Lindsay recently returned from a

During competitions, the judges tend to critique around the acronym of PAVED. “It is progression, amplitude, variety, execution and difficulty,” Lindsay explained. He spends plenty of time in the gym as well, roughly four to six days out of the week. “I do upper body, cardio, and legs. There’s a day off and then repeat. Training camps can go from the gym to working on the trampoline and then ski.” While pulling off moves like a Cork 900, which can include multiple combinations, Lindsay has to get familiar with being up in the air. “It’s all about air awareness,” he said. “Flips are practiced on the trampoline and then with water ramps. You have to learn the trick and then perform five perfect executions for the coach to qualify a trick. SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND “If you look at hockey over the last What Patrick Lindsay looks like 10 years, the game has not changed without all his ski gear. all that much, but in freestyle skiing, the progression is incredible.” forthcoming season will be at WhisLindsay’s first competition of the tler in January.

SENS EXTRA
Better, faster, stronger Sens first round pick leaves camp with contract but returns to junior adam.kveton@metroland.com
The Ottawa Senators first pick of the NHL 2015 draft, Thomas Chabot, has left Ottawa with a contract and two main aspects of his game to work on to improve his chances of making the team’s roster at next season’s training camp. The club signed Chabot, an 18-year-old, 6-foot-2 defenceman to a three-year entry-level contract, general manager Bryan Murray announced on Sept. 30. Though Chabot has now returned to play with the Saint John Sea Dogs in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, he said he was very satisfied with his first training camp experience with the Senators. “They told me I had a great camp and I knew I had a great camp,” said Chabot. “It’s hard to go (to camp) and not make it (on the team), but I wasn’t really thinking about it. I was just focusing to get to learn and enjoy the experience and live it day by day and try to get better,” he
said. “To be back now and to get back in junior with a contract in your hands, it feels real good.” The training camp was one of the first opportunities Chabot has had to play with and against players older than himself, he said. “Everything was quicker; everybody was stronger, so it was something really different.” While Chabot worked to adjust his game, using his own speed and trying to simplify his game, he said speed and power are the two major things he will have to work on. “You’ve always got to be faster, but I’m going to try to be stronger … to be strategic for me to battle against older guys,” Chabot said. “I have some things to learn in my game, but first thing is to be stronger in my game and develop physically.” Chabot said he is aiming to become a player with a strong two-way game with an emphasis on offence, and strong skating ability who’s not afraid to carry the puck.

He listed Blackhawks defenceman Duncan Keith and L.A. Kings defenceman Drew Doughty among his inspirations. Returning to the Sea Dogs, Chabot has earned an assist after two games in which the Sea Dogs defeated the Gatineau Olympiques 4-3 and the Shawinigan Cataractes 5-2. “I know we have a great team, we have a lot of good players, so I know it’s going to be an exciting year,” he said. Last year, Chabot recorded 41 points with 12 goals and 29 assists, in addition to 62 penalty minutes in 66 games. Asked who his dream team was growing up, Chabot said it was the Montreal Canadiens, but added, “I wouldn’t mind anywhere to get drafted. (Getting drafted by the Sens) was something special for me.” SENS START SEASON

Calling all runners, walkers, volunteers: Unity Run is Oct. 25 The 12th annual Unity Run takes place Sunday, Oct. 25 in Arnprior. As in the past, the event will start and finish at the Nick Smith Centre with an 8:30 a.m. start time. Last year there were 305 runners and walkers and everybody involved with the Unity Run hopes that this year that number will be exceeded. Participants have the choice of participating in a 3-km walk or run, a 5-km walk or run, or the 10-km run. As in past years, the route is along the streets of Arnprior. The 5-km event takes participants through the grounds of Galilee Centre, the 10-km does that as well but then adds a long loop on the other side of the Madawaska Bridge through the ‘avenues’. But everybody returns to the Nick Smith Centre for warmth, beverages, snacks, prizes, and the presentation of medals. All money earned by this event supports Community Living Renfrew County South. The cost is $35 per adult with a student rate of $25. If a family participates, the cost is
$25 per family member. People can sign up at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior or on line at Eventsonline.ca. When folks pick up their race kits this year from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre on Saturday, Oct. 24 or on the morning of the run, they will find not only the racing bib and chip, the coveted Unity Run Shirt, but also a sturdy brown and empty paper bag. COME TO CHEER
It is hoped that individuals and families will be able to fill this bag up with some food staples and drop it off at either the Nick Smith Centre, Arnprior Home Hardware, their local food bank, or the Community Living offices in Arnprior or Renfrew. Events like this need people who cheer and people who volunteer. Cheerleaders are welcome to come out and encourage participants. People who wish to volunteer (students would get a four-hour credit) should drop by the Nick Smith Centre prior to the run or call Jane Dowd at 613-623-9963.

WIGGANS, Frances Geraldine (nee Wark) August 10, 1927 – September 27, 2015 It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of Geraldine. She left us at the age of 88 to join her husband Ed, her parents and her 9 siblings including the late Thomas Wark (former Police Chief of Renfrew) in eternal life. Born and raised in Renfrew, Ontario, Geraldine met Ed in Kingston through her brother John and they married in 1948 and moved out west to BC and then on to Guyana, Quebec, Ontario, California, Australia, Ontario and finally returning to BC in 1997 – 25 homes in 60 years! Ed and Geraldine spent their retirement years managing a heritage Inn in Kingston, Ontario; renovating their homes and travelling through the US in an RV. Geraldine spent her final years in Tsawwassen and Qualicum Beach volunteering at Senior Centers’ and her Church. She loved to read, play bridge, organize bridge luncheons and spend time with Family. She leaves behind 5 children, 8 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren with another on the way! All she ever wanted to be was a mother and her family is a beautiful reflection of her caring heart. Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following the path God chose for me I took his hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left you all. Geraldine will be laid to rest with Ed at St. Mark’s Church, Qualicum Beach on May 1st, 2016 – to commemorate their 68th wedding anniversary. A celebration of life will be held around that time. We are forever grateful to Dr. Peter Haslett, Dr. Hector Baillie and the staff of the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for their care of Geraldine over the last few years. If you wish, donations can be made in Geraldine’s name to Qualicum Cat Rescue, the Salvation Army or St. Mark’s Church, Qualicum.

ADHS rugby girls continue to dominate The Arnprior District High School girls rugby team ran its record to 2-0 with a comprehensive 64-0 win over Fellowes Oct. 1. Strong direct running allowed ADHS to break down initial Fellowes resistance and Arnprior’s ability to
attack space with support became a major factor as holes opened in the Fellowes defence, reports coach Glenn Wallace. The ADHS squad kept rolling last Thursday, rambling over Mackenzie 90-0 in a dominating Upper Ottawa
Valley High School Athletic Association play. Arnprior was scheduled to play at Opeongo Tuesday, before completing their regular schedule by hosting RCI at Dochart Park Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 3 p.m.

View from the Mountain Creek ‘Gallery’: Oktoberfest fun Wendy Tessier,
nual Oktoberfest Tournament. Oktoberfest is a famous festival held each fall in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. And all over Canada, Canadians love to hold their own fall celebrations, given the Germanic in-
Ladies co-captain
Mountain Creek Golf Course shouted “Willkommen” to the 44 golfers who signed up for their an-
fluence on Canadian culture, not to mention our love of beer. So, was it the cold beer that brought the golfers out? Could be. Mountain Creek is known for offering craft beer made by the Perth
Brewery, not to mention all the other beer beloved by our palates. But they weren’t there just for the beer. Could it have been the wonderful meal of ham and sauerkraut with apple strudel dessert that lured them
all? Was it the perfect golf weather: cool and windy yet sunny? Perhaps it was the format: a coin toss that brought Lady Luck into the mix of skill and determination for each team? Oh no: Everyone’s ultimate goal was the Mountain Creek Oktoberfest trophy, which was won by Brenda Beaubien and Richard Beaubien and their guests Sylvia and Gerry. Mountain Creek owner Jonathan Schaepper convinced the gang to down forks between dinner and dessert to step outside for this group sunset photo. Then the party resumed indoors and Ein Prosit could be heard echoing over the fairways. (Ein Prosit means “A Toast” and the translated words to this song are: A toast, a toast to cheer and good times. A toast, a toast to cheer and good times! One! Two! Three! Drink up!)
Mountain Creek’s annual Oktoberfest Tournament attracted a large crowd to the golf course. WENDY TESSIER/SUBMITTED

Youths! Adults! Seniors! Neat owner hosts revival Earn Extra Money! meetings in effort to reopen Keep Your Weekends Free! Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Meetings are set for those who want to bring back Neat Café, the Burnstown restaurant and musicians’ mecca that shut its doors indefinitely earlier this month. Owner Adam McKinty will meet with supporters and potential financial backers at the Old Schoolhouse in the village to discuss efforts to report the business. The meeting is set for Sunday, Oct. 18 at 1 p.m. He will make accommodations for those who cannot make that date. (Another meeting was slated for Oct. 12, same time and place.) According to a Facebook post, McKinty doesn’t sugarcoat the prospects of reopening. He said any financial advisor would say to stay clear of it. And the creation and con-
“The fact that Neat is still here after the body blows it took is a testament.”
tinuation of Neat was draining on every level. But he’s willing to revive the popular spot. “The fact that Neat has operated well above water for the last three-and-a-half of sevenand-a-half years is a testament to the product, delivery and to savvy financial and business skills,” McKinty said. “The fact that Neat is still here after the body blows it took is a testament.” NEAT IN WOODS
The café closed following a new venture, Neat in the Woods. The outdoor music festival on Sept. 25 to 27 drew impressive acts such as The Trews. By most accounts it was a well-run, entertaining, successful event.
But turnout was well below expectation. And the financial loss pushed the already teetering business over the edge. Soon after, on the weekend of Oct. 3, McKinty announced the doors would close for an indefinite period and the building was up for sale. However, a former business partner still owns half the business. That makes any dealings more difficult. “Let me spell this out as frankly as I can,” he posted. “Neat can continue if we get two fully leveraged mortgages for the two properties that we are trying to extract half of the equity from. With that, Neat can recover from year one Neat in the Woods losses and pay out a founding partner their equity and deal with other loans. Short and sweet, and big.”

A Week Dedicated to Hometown Business
October 18-24, 2015
Canada’s vibrant economic development can be attributed in great part to the energy of entrepreneurs and the businesses that they start up. Their ability to quickly innovate to keep abreast of market changes and create employment has made small businesses one of the driving forces of our economy. In light of these contributions, the theme of this year’s Small Business Week is: “You’re the power behind the Canadian economy, let’s share the energy!” The focus will be on this energy that drives all entrepreneurs who have moved from dreaming to reality by creating their own business. This week will also recognize personal efforts as well as the importance of financing and consultation in bringing innovative ideas to life. This annual event began rather modestly in British Columbia, but quickly picked up steam over the years. Today it is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate entrepreneurial spirit across the country. Organized by the Business Development Bank of Canada, with the support of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, National Business Week continues to pay tribute to small and medium size businesses and the significant contributions they make to the nation’s labour market. “You’re the power behind the Canadian economy!” is the message. Behind every great success is an original idea. Canadian entrepreneurs are experts when it comes to finding the energy and momentum needed to turn these ideas into a profitable reality. Intrigued? Perhaps there’s a budding entrepreneur inside you who’s just waiting to make his or her mark on the Canadian economy.

Calling all young naturalists, this club’s for you Karen Runtz
If you’d like to learn such things as what insect can see above and below water at the same time, what bird says “cheeseburger,” and what tree’s nickname is ‘musclewood’, you can find out from the Young Macnamaras, the children’s program of the local Macnamara Field Naturalists Club. It’s been reported that children spend an average six hours watching television per day but only six minutes outside participating in outdoor activities. Yet connecting with natur has huge benefits to their social, emotional, and physical health. The Young Macs aim to help children get outdoors to play, to imagine and explore what the natural world has to offer to inspire a sense of wonder, knowledge and respect. It might involve investigating insects at a local field, or plant and animal life on the Macnamara Trail, counting birds at a nearby park, salamander seeking during an early spring melt, or joining a club excursion to
A drawing break during a Young Macs outing. see mudpuppies in the dead of winter. And local families are invited to join the fun. From knee-high naturalists to budding youth to young-at-heart Macs, all are welcome. On the Young Macs’ last outing in early September, the group explored seed distribution on the Macnamara Nature Trail. As Telsing Andrews recounts: “After discussing the importance of seed movement, we caught some burdock, enchanter’s nightshade and beggar’s ticks on pieces of felt, tossed
around some maple samaras, and exploded jewelweed pods – abundant at the trailhead. “As we walked along, the hard fruit of basswood fluttered down. We stepped on buckthorn fruit and were tempted by flowering raspberry. Across the first boardwalk, we encountered cattails starting to fluff and fly away in the wind. “Steve Duffield showed us various trees along the trail including balsam fir, black cherry and yellow birch. “As the trail headed upland, we encountered an abundance of large mushroom specimens. “At the bird feeders, we stopped to do a little drawing and to open some red oak acorns on a hunt for acorn weevil larva. Then it was off to the boardwalk lookout. “There were plenty of toads, chipmunks and garter snakes sighted, too. More animal signs included piles of pinecone scales, snapped branches off oak trees, a gnawed bone and bark with pileated woodpecker holes and the daintier orderly ones from a sapsucker. The
sounds of chickadees accompanied us back. The next Young Macs’ outing is this Saturday, Oct. 17 from 10:30 a.m. to noon, when they will explore waterbirds and migration at Fitzroy Provincial Park. Join them as they watch the geese and ducks prepare THE FIVE ARCHES NON-PROFI to fly to their winter feeding CUSTODIAN grounds. They’ll discuss their 3 X 50 amazing journeys along with the R0013502450 dynamics of feathers and flight. To get involved or to register for a Young Mac field outing, contact Telsing Lopez-Andrews at youngmacs@mfnc.ca. Outings are free for club members and $5 for guests. The cost of an individual club membership is $25, while family memberships cost $30 and apply to couples or families in the same household. Memberships run from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31 and include monthly meetings (September to June), guided field trips and club communications. “Why not join the club and come explore PHOTOS BY KAREN KROEGER with us.” Find more information Young Macnamara naturalist club leader Telsing Anon the club and its activities, drews helps the Young Macs capture seed on pieces visit mfnc.ca. of felt.

A fundraising effort INSIDE with paint strokes ottawavalley .COM
scottcampbell@metroland.com
Krave Bistro hosted a unique fundraising effort on Sept. 29 involving paint. The proceeds went to Arnprior Regional Health’s Partners in Caring. Alyssa Stack was behind the idea to hold Paint Nite in and give participants a lesson in painting a picture. “Alyssa approached us if she could use a venue,” said Amy Rafter, manager of Krave Bistro in downtown Arnprior. “They sold 45 tickets and we were open for dinner.” Each ticket cost $45 and $15 went towards Partners in Caring, ensuring there was a donation raised right off the bat. Krave Bistro donated the SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND Tickets were sold-out for the paint fundraiser at Krave Bistro that was space to help with costs. obviously a big hit with participants. The funds raised went towards The business also prepared the Arnprior Regional Health’s Partners in Caring. Two other paint ses- a menu of appetizers and wine and drinks and gave sions are slated for October and November.
20 per cent of what was made to Partners in Caring. “I saw Paint Nite in Ottawa and thought to bring them to Arnprior,” said Stack. “It’s different and the response has been successful. It also gives visibility to a local business.” Stack had never painted before, “It’s kind of fun. There’s step by step (instruction) in painting and something to keep at the end.” Stack raised the idea in June and the event sold-out in days. An evening in October is already filled and people are already claiming spots for the November paint session. Caleigh Murison is the consultant with Paint Nite and had help from her sister, Amber, in running the show. “I usually do events like these in Ottawa,” said Caleigh. “I think this is awesome.”

Veterinarian honoured for contributions to Ottawa Humane Society scottcampbell@metroland.com
LESLIE DEABREAU/SUBMITTED
Dr. Leslie DeAbreu with her Dr. James Hutchison Animal Welfare Award she received from Ottawa Humane Society.
Arnprior veterinarian Leslie DeAbreu received a welcome surprise at the Ottawa Humane Society’s annual general meeting. During the session Sept. 29, Dr. DeAbreu was honoured with the Dr. James Hutchison Animal Welfare Award. In a news release, the society said it is for “her work saving animal lives as a volunteer veterinarian at the OHS.” The contributions of several volunteers and members of the public were also celebrated. “I really did have no idea I was getting the award,” laughed Dr. DeAbreu, who has been a veterinarian for 21 years. She worked at the Arnprior Animal Hospital for numerous years and eventually made the shift to Alta Vista Animal Hospital in Ottawa. “We’ve save a lot of animals from being destroyed at the humane society,” she said. Dr. DeAbreu started performing routine surgeries, but these days she’s involved in orthopaedic surgeries. “I’m involved in knees, fractures, hips. I get called and work out a time. I bring my own equipment. It’s a good arrangement,” she said. “I find some people hear humane society and they think it means the animal is put
down and that isn’t the case. They do amazing work.” The society does whatever it takes to get a pet a new home. It treats fractures, chronic injuries and conducts dentistry work. There are even dealings with older animals if they believe there’s a chance at a healthy life. Dr. DeAbreu has seen work done to save animals given up by their owners simply because they couldn’t
afford the treatment for their pets. The humane society has relatively new premises in Ottawa. “It’s a fairly new facility and was built with animals in mind,” said DeAbreu. “It’s a special place and I’m sure they would welcome the public for tours.” The other award recipients were from Nepean, Gloucester, Greenboro and Westerboro/ Wellington Village.

Everyone played a role in sauerkraut making Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
Every one of us had a job to do when it came to sauerkraut night. All decked out in long white aprons (Father thought Mother was taking this cleanliness a bit too far, but he wore one anyway to stop an argument which he was sure to lose), and with our hands scrubbed red, we were ready to begin. Emerson and Everett were in charge of bringing in the heavy bushel baskets of cabbage heads. Earl took the heads out, one at a time, and handed them to Audrey and me sitting at one end of the table. Our job was to peel off the outer leaves, and toss them into one of the empty baskets (they would be fed to the pigs). Mother cored the heads and handed them, one after another to Father at the shredder. One head at a time was placed in the board with a groove and blade in it, and Father shoved the cabbage back and forth over the blade, filling the cavity underneath. Once it was full, Father dumped the shredded cabbage into the big barrel beside him. Every so often, the entire operation would stop, and Mother would take the wood plunger

we used to whip cream into butter, and pound down the cabbage in the barrel, take a cup of coarse salt from the bag and toss it over the shredded cabbage. I loved the smell of the cabbage, which I was sure started to ferment as soon as it hit the barrel, but, of course, it didn’t. It would have to sit for weeks before we could truly call it sauerkraut! By the time the last bit of cabbage had been shredded and pounded down into the barrel, it was ready for Father to put the round disc of well-scrubbed wood on top of it all. A large stone, so big only Father and Everett or Emerson could lift it, had been sitting in the dish pan filled with clean water from the pump. It too, had been scrubbed clean, and I loved to hear Father tell how it was the very same stone used by his Father when he was a young boy. The very same stone used to press down the shredded cabbage years and years ago. I would look at the stone, and marvel at
the mystery of it all. It always amazed me how we seemed to have the exact amount of cabbage to fill the barrel. It would take the strength of Father and the three boys to carefully roll the filled barrel out to the summer kitchen, where it would again be covered with a clean sheet and then a quilt. Days and sometimes weeks would pass before we could use the sauerkraut. And often it would be frozen solid in the barrel, and had to be chipped with a special tool made just for that purpose. As Fall stretched into winter, out in the summer kitchen was a barrel that would augment our meals, and we would enjoy the fruits of a true family evening ... and savour the wonderful German dishes Father so often made. Just like his Father did a generation before him. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

History of the Valley series to support Hospice Renfrew Local historian Terry Currie is bringing his popular ‘A History of the Valley’ series to Renfrew starting Oct. 20. Currie has become a familiar figure on the Ottawa Valley historical scene. It started with his book ‘The Ottawa Valley’s Great Fire of 1870’. The book appeared five years ago and has sold nearly 2,000 copies to date. People who have read the book have asked Currie to come to various spots around the
Valley to tell the story of the Great Fire. As a result of all his trips around the Valley and much sharing with people interested in the story, he recognized that there is a real hunger for knowledge of local history all over the area. He created a six-part lecture series on Valley history, which he has presented at Pembroke, Arnprior, Almonte and Ottawa. That list has one obvious absence, the town of Renfrew. As a fundraiser for Hospice Renfrew, Currie will present his lecture series ‘A History of the Ottawa Valley’ Tuesday evenings from Oct. 20 to Nov. 24. The lecture series has six sessions. In every session he tries to bring out the unusual, the unique, in the Ottawa Valley story. He answers a series of intriguing questions: • Why is the Ottawa Valley one of the world’s most unusual landscapes? • What was the Valley like in 1491? • Why is the Valley dotted with French Forts? • Why is the Valley full of Irish people and Scots names? • Why did so many Irish Catholics chose British Canada instead of democratic America? • Can we say there was a really distinct Ottawa Valley culture a century ago? Currie will try to answer these and many more questions as his series travels through the centuries of the Ottawa Valley story. R0013505979

The cabbages were ready. The heads filled four bushel baskets in the summer kitchen, and Mother had covered them with old quilts. She said to keep them safe from an early frost, which wasn’t likely since it was still September, and they were well protected in the snug summer kitchen. We knew it was to keep the mice off them! Mother worried constantly that a mouse would come in contact with anything we might eventually put in our mouths! It was a Saturday night and everything was ready. The big barrel had been well scoured, sun-dried, and now rolled into the kitchen waiting for the shredded cabbage. We always made sauerkraut on a Saturday night. It was then the whole family would be together, and this was a true family venture! And it all happened around the old pine kitchen table that had been scrubbed within an inch of its life. Father had the shredder ready. It was a wood box affair about 10 inches wide, a couple feet long, with a piece of board smooth as silk from many years of usage, fitting exactly the top of the box. In this board, was a sharp blade imbedded in the middle, and only Father manned this part of the operation. Everett was once allowed to use the shredder and ended up with a goodly portion of a finger cut off, which old Doctor Murphy had to stitch back on! So Father took no chances. He was the shredder.

Support services are recognized every October in Ontario. The 35th anniversary committee of the Arnprior-Braside-McNab Seniors at Home Program includes volunteers, from left at back, Nancy Paquette, Geraldine Lynn, Sandra Hall and Liz Wall; and front Stephen Dodd, Dennis Harrington and Rev. Leo Hughes (honorary chair).
Community support Services, volunteers recognized in October The month of October is marked as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Community Support Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; month in Ontario. The staff and volunteers of Arnprior-Braside-McNab Seniors at Home (ABMSH) are proud to celebrate, not just because of the 23 programs they offer and provide the senior population of the communities, but for all the support they have received over the past 35 years. (ABMSH celebrated 35 years on Sept. 18). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both the business community as well as the residents of Arnprior, the Township of McNab-Braeside and areas of West Carleton have been very generous,â&#x20AC;? said executive director Dennis Harrington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without the financial and volunteer support from all the communities we serve, we would not be able to complete our mission.â&#x20AC;? The 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 no matter the age. With October being â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Community Support Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, we cannot let it go by without thanking the many volunteers who are one of the main reasons for the success of ABMSH.
Out of the 23 programs offered by ABMSH, 21 of them require volunteers to assist in the operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough about our volunteers. They are truly a huge part of our agency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Angels each and every one of them,â&#x20AC;? said Harrington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we continue, throughout the year, celebrating our 35th anniversary, we could not do it without our dedicated volunteers and staff as the agency continues to provide practical home assistance to all seniors and those with special needs in the spirit of neighbour helping neighbour,â&#x20AC;? he concluded. ABMSH thanks all volunteers and welcomes and thanks the newest group to the team: Edie Cathcart, special events; Lynn Bowie, front reception; Murray Hughes, advisor board of directors; Janet Michelson, special events and Meals on Wheels; David Moore, advisor board of directors; Jill Sheffield, front reception; Sharon Sewter, advisor board of directors; Andrew Smith, special events; Nancy Strong, special events and foot clinic receptionist; Kevin Lindsay, Meals on Wheels; and Christina Jones, Meals on Wheels. If anyone is interested in becoming a volunteer with ABMSH, following are a few programs presently in need of a few extra hands.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been treating many women over the years with severe symptoms. One woman said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you know how embarassing it is to soil my car seat, even though I have tripple coverage?â&#x20AC;? Another one complained: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let my coworkers down every month talking a few days off, just to avoid accidents at work, besides the pay-cut I personally take!â&#x20AC;? Gushing is a washout in which your body is responding to major hormonal imbalances. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually an attempt to heal. Due of the major blood loss, all the women consequently suffer from low iron as well as extreme tiredness and exhaustion.This exhaustion can go on for the whole month and therefore cause additional problems in their lives. Low libido, depression, worthlessness, insecurity are just a few, which then can lead to challenges in their marriage or partnership. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tricky sometimes, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just around the menopausal years either.

has been declining over the past few years from parents so we wanted to step back and see what we could do to improve our parent involvement. This is when we started having discussions about starting from the beginning and coming up with a new fresh idea to rejuvenate the PIC for the RCDSB.” This year the PIC plans on visiting local school parent councils groups to see exactly what are the needs of the individual communities and how the PIC can be a better support
tion teams and school council members to share best practices and allow networking. This year the PIC will not be organizing these events, but is focusing on a new project. “I personally have been involved with PIC for five years now,” said Hewitt said. “We have basically been meeting to plan the fall symposium and the spring Assembly of School Councils in the past. We had amazing workshops and such excellent content. “However the involvement

hours Saturdays for 40 weeks between September and June, excluding Christmas and March breaks. Mackenzie Community School will receive an additional four subsidized hours for the 2015-2016 school year, based on an existing need. The fully subsidized Saturday hours are only available for youth (participants under 18),

This Week’s Feature
This year marks the 175th anniversary of the founding of St. Andrew’s United Church in Pakenham. Since the first gathering, subsequent generations have continued the tradition of worship with determination, faith, love and a strong sense of community. To this day outreach remains the heart and soul of their faith family. It is with that sense of community and outreach that the congregation invite everyone to join with them this Sunday, Oct. 18 when a year of celebration will culminate with their anniversary service. The service will begin at 10 a.m. with coffee hour followed at 11 a.m. by worship. As well as taking in special music by Marty and Doug Russell, this is an opportunity to meet and listen to new minister, Rev. Jeff de Jonge. The following Saturday, Oct. 24, the church’s annual turkey supper will be held from 4:30 to 7 p.m., “a delicious tradition not to be missed.” The church has links back to early settlers, mainly from Ireland and Scotland, in the early 1820s. At that time both Methodist and Presbyterian preachers travelled throughout the area holding services for these pioneers in their homes, school houses and even outdoors. By the 1830s a Methodist congre-
gation had been established in Cedar Hill and a Presbyterian congregation in Ramsay. A Presbyterian church was built in the village in 1838 where visiting ministers led worship. It wasn’t until 1840 when a Kirk Session (the first court of the Presbyterian Church) was formed to procure their own minister for a congregation that became known as St. Andrew’s. Various church buildings throughout the years provided places of worship for both the Methodist and Presbyterian congregations in the village. Over the decades several changes in area Presbyterian and Methodist congregations helped to form St. Andrew’s into what it has become today. In 1854, following a dispute between Presbyterian Churches in Scotland, the Pakenham Presbyterians split and formed two separate congregations. It was almost 30 years before the congregations reunited. In 1925, a union between Presbyterians, Methodists and Congregationalists became what is known today as the United Church of Canada. Pakenham’s Methodists and Presbyterians, undoubtedly being visionaries of their time, had actually amalgamated five years earlier in 1920. The Antrim congregation joined with St. Andrew’s in 1949, followed by Blakeney in 1968.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, delve deeper to get to know a new acquaintance more closely. There is more to this person than what you will see on the surface, so don’t hesitate to connect. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, expect to be pulled in a million directions over the next several days. Keep a cool head and you will handle this situation with the same flare you always do. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Take a step back and reassess a particular situation this week, Gemini. A step back and a new perspective might be just what you need to make the most of this situation. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you sometimes have a sixth sense about you, and it guides you through the tough decisions that need to be made. Rely on your intuition for something major this week. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you will be the king (or queen) of your domain this week. Others will respect your final decision on many issues, and you will feel comfortable being the head honcho. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you cannot dictate every situation. Not only can you get frazzled, but also others may begrudge your taking over all of the time. Go with the flow once in a while.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you have any tricks up your sleeve, now is a good time to pull them all out. People are expecting serious productivity and you can deliver. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week presents a great opportunity to allow a colleague to take over the reins of a big project. This person is fully capable and ready for the responsibility. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, others may turn up at your door this week seeking assistance. Don’t be surprised by the sudden visitors, and do your best to send them off with what they need. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, with so much on your schedule, you have to give some serious thought to prioritizing. Otherwise, you may expend energy that cannot be wasted. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You have been indecisive of late, Aquarius. While you may not know which way to go regarding an important decision, trust your instincts and you won’t be unhappy. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Treat yourself well this week, Pisces. Dine out at an upscale restaurant or indulge in a spa treatment. You deserve something special. 1015
