Candidates face off at McNab debate Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – Incumbents defended low taxes while challengers championed renewal during the well-attended McNab-Braeside all candidates’ forum last week. And the applause was slightly louder for the latter, though polite approval dominated the evening. Mayor Mary Campbell used her opening remarks – before a crowd of more than 300 at McNab School on Oct. 6 - to tackle the service agreements controversy, saying “your money” must provide recreation services that are affordable to all residents. Later, in response to a question, she boasted of the low tax rate while admitting to the need for more recreation programs. Mayoral challenger Tom Peckett’s first assertion of the evening at the meeting hosted by Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce, was to say residents want change. He said he would respect and work with people and not issue a “flawed” agreements survey then ignore a petition that contradicts its findings.
The ill-placed Red Pine Bay boat launch and plans for a rink were signs common sense is lacking at the township hall, he added. He was also among the few to mention a willingness to help farmers. The former Arnprior councillor said developers deserve timely answers. The other mayoral challenger, Aldene Styles, talked up her health sector and council experience as key to improving township staff morale and boosting “customer service” for residents. On a question about physician recruitment, she mentioned council giving $25,000 to the recruitment committee and that it should be turned into a “line budget item.” Current councillor Brad McIlquham, who is vying for deputy mayor, repeatedly drew a contrast between the status quo – “common sense and experience” – and a new slate – “rumour and emotion.” He mentioned reviving the economic development committee – which angrily resigned en masse – and take their advice.

2 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, October 16, 2014
Candidate forum well attended A second deputy mayor candidate, Len Chapeski, opened with a joke about “milk, bread, eggs� as if reading from a grocery list. He talked of protecting “taxpayers and families� and the need for a whole new council. He wants to pay less tax but would cancel the user-pay beach and boat launch fees in Burnstown. Incumbent deputy mayor Christine Blimkie called herself a no-nonsense, tough politician who doesn’t pursue personal gain. When asked what she would do if water was contaminated by an expanded Miller operation at the Braeside quarry. “We are on our own for 72 hours,� she said. Challenger Brian Armsden earned one of the largest applauses of the night when he followed Blimkie’s comment with: “We protect residents by whatever means necessary. Then we go after the people that created the bloody mess in the first place.� The divide between incumbents and challengers was striking when it came to the issue of improving relationships with neighbouring municipalities. Armsden, who moved home to the townCOUNCIL CANDIDATES ship to raise his family, said shared assets (such as the library and Nick Smith Centre) Incumbent councillor Bob Campbell’s are a necessity to keep costs down. And he opening remarks had to do with his work hiswarned that working separately will mean tory, common sense decisions during budget all residents in the area will lose in the long season and living within means, along with run. 3 per cent or less tax increases, and an imPeckett vowed to bring the communities together and lessen the animosities if elected.

But that the days of Arnprior “handing us a bill� are over. She also alluded to fewer benefits for “upwardly mobile� people in the township. R0011123444 R0012278072 McIlquham denied a questioner’s claim, saying township folks shop in town, and town folks play ball and soccer in the township. “We’ve always worked together, and this will continue.� Chapeski, ominously, said he will “play hardball� with Arnprior Mayor David Reid. Blimkie agreed the township has “great relations� with other communities, citing clubs and mutual aid services, and shopping. But that “giving gobs of money away� with no accountability can not happen. Armsden was first to offer closing remarks. He asked for representation on council to reflect the needs and aspirations of young families like his. His comments generated the largest applause, even generating whistles from the back. Blimkie said others have “lots of proposals costing tons of money� but no plans. She will always put the township first, she said. R0012941730-1016

proved dumpsite. Challenger Lou Laventure is an engineer and custom homebuilder living in the township for 50 years. His kids benefited from recreation agreements; cost-sharing is best for all, he said. Scott Brum, a longtime volunteer in hockey and baseball, wants a recreation agreements deal in place. He’s also overseen teen dances and participated in the farmers’ market, and various fundraisers. Mark MacKenzie talked of council becoming more open and inclusive, listening to and respecting staff and advisory committees, and of children being encouraged to participate in activities. Heather Lang reiterated a common theme on the night, the existing council’s failure to secure a recreation agreement deal in an era of chronic obesity among children. She also wants greater investment in township facilities, adding the possibility of a new rink should not be a secret deal between a private investor and the township. She reminded voters of the two advisory committees that were highly disappointed at council, and council’s inability to protect private property rights near the quarry. A question about the Energy East pipeline passing under the Madawaska River just above the Stewartville dam seemed to catch some candidates off guard.

Chapeski reminded the crowd of his recent hunger strike and that all are welcome to attend a candidates’ debate at his business (Mr. Dirt) this Saturday, Oct. 18 at about 11 a.m. McIlquham talked about voting for “knowledge and experience� over the whims of candidates that don’t understand the system. Campbell said: “My heart’s firmly in McNab-Braeside. Where’s yours?� to more than a polite applause. Styles said she has the type of personality to build on relationships, to gain respect and give respect. And she reminded voters that she topped the polls in the last two elections. Peckett rounded out the night on what he called a positive note by saying he will listen to concerns, utilize seniors, win volunteers back, create a board of active farmers to grow industry, reduce the tax levy, “fight like hell against Miller,� and make renewed agreements his first priority. “Twenty-two hundred people ought to be heard,� he said.

Canada’s fourth strongest man Paul Vaillancourt demonstrates a single-person pull.
The AECL Flying A’s took top honours at the fourth annual New Flyer Industries bus pull for United Way.
AECL Flying A’s tops at bus pull fundraiser for United Way Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com
News - The AECL Flying A’s had the fastest time at the fourth annual New Flyer Industries bus pull, but the big winner was Renfrew County United Way. The event, held at a new location this year - the Canadian Tire parking lot in Arnprior - involves 12-member teams pulling a 40-foot New Flyer-manufactured city bus over a 60-foot course. The fastest of each team’s two times determined the eventual finish. Special guest Paul Vaillancourt, Canada’s fourth strongest
man, entertained the crowd with a demonstration of a single person pull with a time of 18.16 seconds. The weather held out, say organizers, with rain stopping just before the event and starting again as soon as the bus pull finished. Among the special guests was Arnprior Mayor David Reid. Local companies participated by entering a team or making a cash donation and organizers are thrilled with the support. “The target of raising more than the $4,000 from last year was surpassed before the bus pull started,� said New Flyer service centre manager Colin Hooper. “This year’s total is expected to be close to $5,000, once all pledges have been received.�
Funds were raised with a barbecue and a raffle, in addition to donations from members of the public who stopped by to see what was going on. Results/times The AECL Flying A’s were first with a time of 11.52 seconds, followed by Nu Tech Pipe Dreamers (11.69), New Flyer- Tech Mech’s (11.72), ADHS Senior Redmen football team (12), Sullivans/Rona (12.5) and Pillar 5-P5 (13.11). Since its inception, the event has raised about $14,000 for the Renfrew County United Way. New Flyer and United Way officials will be meeting to discuss ways to make the bus pull bigger and better in 2015.

Project Assist to support firefighter training in McNab-Braeside lies within our community,” said McNab-Braeside Mayor, Mary Campbell. “Every level of government faces the challenge of balance between investing in economic prosperity while protecting the most vulnerable in our community. “Ensuring fire safety across McNab-Braeside’s 256 square kilometres is a challenge that the dedication of our fire department continually meets. “Our heartfelt appreciation to Enbridge and the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council for the help to not only equip our volunteer firefighters, but also our junior firefighters, which benefits not only the safety of our community but the development of our youth,” added Campbell. Fire protection in the township is provided by three fire stations, 10 fire vehicles and 40 volunteers. The department provides a range of services for 7,000 residents in an area of 100 square miles.

‘Taxes need to be affordable’: candidate
Incumbent seeks second term Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com
News – Bob Campbell wants a chance to see work that’s been started in the past four years through to completion. The incumbent councillor for McNab-Braeside has decided to seek the position for a second term. Campbell has lived and worked in the township his whole life, having been employed at Gillies Bros. for 26 years until it closed. He is also a lifelong farmer. Seventeen years as a sawing foreman and five years as financial secretary for the union have helped him build a skill set useful at the township table, said Campbell. “My years as foreman really taught me what a budget was,” he said. “It’s all about common sense and how to use it.” If re-elected, Campbell said he wants to keep tax increases down to three per cent or less. Keeping on budget has been among his major focuses on council. “Yes, in the last four years
BOB CAMPBELL there have been some mistakes but there have been many more good things happen,” he said. His family’s presence in the township started in 1825 and stretches six or seven generations. He has two sons who live in Western Canada. Campbell wants to be able to see through some of the plans and projects put in place during his tenure. Road plans and an audit of the township’s energy usage are among the items that come to mind for him. “The energy audit was something that made a lot of sense and it’s something to work on,” said Campbell. “The
LED streetlights is something we’d like to bring forward. They cost a lot of money but the savings is there.” And while recreation/library and shared agreements with the towns is certainly a major issue, said Campbell, there are some candidates running on that item alone, which in his opinion isn’t right. “You’re going to upset people no matter what,” he said. At the risk of an unpopular opinion, Campbell said the township should never have got into the agreements to start with. “It’s about being fair to everybody The fact the township had trouble getting any exact user numbers from Arnprior as the recreation issue unfolded was troubling. “There were no true numbers of recreation - no verification. Basically we got nothing,” he said. And escalating costs meant something had to be done. “Over the last two years the agreements increased more than 50 per cent,” he said. The library rebates the
township is issuing instead of agreements with the facilities are already saving the township money, he said. “At end of July we’d spent $9,720 for library rebates,” he said. “Last year we gave almost $100,000 or better to Arnprior and Renfrew, including the grant.” One thing Campbell finds unsettling are cutbacks in government subsidies and grants, in particular for municipalities that have managed to keep debt down. “It’s like they’re penalizing people that kept their affairs in order and the ones that didn’t seem to get rewarded for not doing it,” he said. The township needs a better development plan and improvements to recreation services and facilities, said Campbell. Dealing with increased policing costs will be a challenge for upcoming council, he said. He’d like to see more answers forthcoming. “The cost is extremely high and is set to go up again,” he said. “I want to see what we are paying for.”

Brum and Campbell said lots of public meetings and government studies will be done, and that the right decision will be made in the end. Laventure and Lang adamantly oppose the idea. Only MacKenzie, a former Green party of Canada president, spoke in great detail about transporting bitumen through 40-yearold natural gas pipelines to the east coast where it will likely be exported to world markets. The township, on its own, can’t stop the plan, he noted. “We have to gather with other communities to oppose this,” he said, adding that a spill isn’t a certainty but would prove catastrophic. During closing remarks Lang said she opposed the quarry expansion, respects volunteers, and wants to consult and engage with constituents. “Being in politics is not about being a politician. It’s about working for the people,” she said, to robust applause. MacKenzie said being a councillor means setting aside one’s own views at times, especially

when a petition (with more names than any single candidate got votes last time around) is presented. How could the current council cut services and still raise taxes? With two children at McNab, and many years experience running a successful business, he said he would be honoured to serve. Brum touted his strong work ethic and common sense, opposition to a corporation muscling itself over residents rights, and the need for a fresh perspective on council. Laventure said he is well prepared to serve on council, having built the dream home for many customers based on their feedback. Bob Campbell ended the council candidates’ portion of the night by saying, “We’re all getting older. Taxes need to be affordable.” He wants to see the HST removed from heat and hydro. Mistakes were made during the last term of council, he said, but that good things happened and councillors did their best. And he has nothing to hide. Election day is Oct. 27.

News – Local OPP officers are investigating after an area school official reported seizing a cellphone from a student with pictures that might be considered child pornography. The school will not be identified by police to protect the identity of the victims. OPP Const. Bernie Dikih is investigating. The OPP are using the incident to warn the public about the dangers of ‘Sexting’, the sending of sexually explicit photos and text messages. “Teenagers may send sexual photos of themselves to boyfriends or girlfriends, not realizing the material may be considered child pornography,” says the OPP in a news release. “When photos continue to be passed and shared, it may be considered distributing child pornography,” say police. Parents are urged to discuss this issue with their children and discourage the

OPINION EDITORIAL
No agenda in sponsoring forum
T
here has been some concern expressed because it was the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce that sponsored the municipal all-candidates meeting in McNab-Braeside. There shouldn’t be. Note the chamber is called Greater Arnprior - not just Arnprior. There are members from both municipalities in the group. It’s likely the chamber would have been happy to step aside and let a group strictly from the township organize the all-candidates forum. One less thing for the busy organization to do. But nobody did. So the chamber felt it was its civic duty to hold an all-candidates meeting to give township voters a chance to see how their would-be councillors re-
sponded under pressure as they shared their views. It’s obvious that township residents welcomed the opportunity as more than 300 of them crowded into McNab school to hear the candidates. Despite the high emotions and strong views of many of the audience, the meeting was well run by the moderator, who is, by the way, a McNab-Braeside resident. And no, the chamber director who is an Arnprior councillor had no influence on the meeting. She is too busy running her own campaign. So people should be pleased that the chamber didn’t take the hint to butt out of organizing the township forum. There would have been a lot of disappointed people if it had.
LETTER
Elect councillors who will listen to their constituents’ concerns To the Editor: In last week’s letter to the editor (Chronicle-Guide, Oct. 9), Mr. R. Neil Stewart points out that he hopes voters will be choosing the candidates that are best informed and offer a sensible approach to solving the many challenges of municipal government. We agree, but from a different perspective. As longtime residents and taxpayers in this unique and peaceful community, the current council has, unfortunately, put us in a position of having to appeal Bylaw 2013-31 to the OMB in order to defend our rights to property, which we purchased without any restrictions. With the implementation of this bylaw, the majority of our land (literally our backyard) is to be used as a buffer zone. One of the members of council who voted in favour of the quarry expansion as Bylaw 2013-31, as well as in favour of the asphalt plant was Ms. Styles. On the other hand, Mr. Peckett has been listening to residents and getting informed on the current issues, and is offering to try and right some wrongs. As far as extra costs for this are concerned, the OMB appeal process is already in motion. The township has a lawyer who is already involved, no matter

which direction the council chooses. It helps to have a council who has their residents’ interests in mind. We also agree that a municipal election is an exciting and challenging time for the candidates and they all deserve the respect for wanting to serve their community. There are many important issues affecting residents to different degrees and it is not an easy job to balance everything. A sensible approach is to keep this community running smoothly ‌ and at the core of that is having a council who reflects the will of the constituents, follows the basic principle of respecting property lines when making decisions, and not putting the fresh air and water of this beautiful community in jeopardy with a permanent asphalt plant. A council who will listen to, and work with its residents is a council that makes a strong, cohesive and progressive township.

Taxpayers have right to answers To the Editor: To all the candidates who ran in 2010: In the last election I helped four or five of you people get elected. One thing you all told me was that information out of the town hall would be made easier for us taxpayers. After you all got elected nothing changed; the taxpayers still have to pay to get information. Let me remind you people it is the day of the computer and these questions should be answered in about 30 seconds. After some of you people get
elected you have the attitude taxpayers should not ask questions. Question number one is how much did it cost the taxpayers in this town to get rid of the four or five people you replaced? Maybe if we had all the people that were elected in 2010 on the platform we might have got this question answered. It is the right of the taxpayer to be able to get this information. M.J.

OPINION
Premier urged to find way for Daniel St. development to proceed To the Editor: As you and your paper know, the Town of Arnprior has worked very hard these past few years to undo the results of losing the Smart Centre development a few years back. It is so important to break the ice with our first commercial development for the Town and we have almost got there. To help us you can print this letter for our ratepayers to read - and I ask them to call and/or write the Premier of Ontario and copy our Member of Provincial Parliament to ask the Premier to intercede and clear a path for Arnprior. Walter Stack, Reeve Town of Arnprior The Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario Legislative Building, Queens Park Dear Premier Wynne: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Walter Stack and I am the Reeve for the Town of Arnprior. As the Reeve I sit on Renfrew County Council. At the County level I Chair the Operations Committee which has responsibility for all the roads, bridges culverts, etc. in the County. The topic I want to bring to your attention is a property at the south end of our town near the interchange of Highway 417 and Daniel Street. This is a provincial intersection and that part of Daniel Street is also under provincial jurisdiction.
Our community has had a huge problem securing commercial development over the past nine years I have been on Council and quite frankly has been left behind our neighbours in a significant way. Commercial development is critical for us as we have had very rapid residential growth and our ratepayers, rightly so, are demanding commercial opportunities. We have come close to a few deals in the past 2-3 years. One of those is on a property near the interchange I mentioned. The property description is as follows: 416 Daniel Street South, Arnprior, ON and 424 Daniel Street South, Arnprior, ON Con 12 E PT Lot 3 RP49R493; PT 1 Con 12 E PT Lot 3. I became involved with the owner of this property at the time 417 was expanded across the east/ west border of Arnprior. The road that was built, with the island between the two traffic lanes coming north into town and going south leaving town, cut off traffic access heading south out of town into this commercial site. At that time the owner contacted me and I had a meeting with her, the Director of Operations for the County of Renfrew and two representatives of the Ministry of Transportation with responsibility for the project at that time. This meeting did not bring a resolution to the owner’s satisfaction, so I thanked them for their effort and said I would go the political route. The very next day I received an e-mail asking me to wait two weeks before starting political involve-
ment - I agreed. That led to meetings with myself, the owner, our Mayor and staff from the Kingston office with property responsibilities. After a number of discussions, this Ministry, as I understand it, made an offer for the property, which was rejected. It is important to note that all the time planning was done, properties secured, construction took place, there was no consideration for this site by the Ministry of Transportation. Time lapsed and our Mayor kept in touch with the owner. More importantly our staff worked very hard and secured a developer to buy and develop the site. As is the practice, a lot of time and money was put into securing an offer to purchase acceptable by both parties and a site plan. One condition is the site would require one in/ out access point. This site currently has two. We understand the reduction from two to one in/out access does not meet the current MTO standards put in place in the past two years. But, this property has been a commercial site for some 50 years or more and again, MTO had given it no prior consideration. We did have a meeting with MTO staff in Arnprior and a consultant we hired to review the situation, which was a healthy exchange of views. But resulted in MTO refusing our request and putting our project in jeopardy. We plan to appeal this decision. But time is of the essence in order to save this opportunity for
Arnprior. As an added complication to us securing the development opportunity, the Ministry of Transportation has now approached the owner with a new increased offer for the property which more than complicates our efforts and quite frankly we never expected our own government to work against us using these tactics without communication. Should the Ministry of Transportation acquire this site it would sterilize it under new regulation and it is a significant site as it is the first piece of property you see entering Arnprior. This is a small town of 8,300 residents in Renfrew County trying to prosper and survive. We are just west of the City of Ottawa where there are numerous exceptions to these current standards. My request of you, Premier Wynne, is to address our concern with the Ministry of Transportation and have the MTO staff work with us not against us to secure this development. We have made compromising proposals to the Ministry staff that we believe have merit and if we work together there is a solution that can support our community and help it grow - not interfere and cripple our progress. It is my intention to take the issue to the media for public debate. Thank you for your time and consideration Reeve Walter Stack cc Members of Arnprior Town Council, John Yakabuski, MPP Renfrew Nipissing Pembroke
VOTE DANNY MARTIN FOR COUNCILLLOR Why do I want to be a councillor for the Town of Arnprior? This is the community that gave me my start and it will see my finish. It provided the environment and guidance that allowed me to thrive. By this I mean the people and facilities that allowed me to make mistakes and learn, be gainfully employed both full and part time, provided the basis for social activity in a relatively safe and forgiving environment and allowed me to remain positively engaged with the people of the community both young and old. I speak not just of Arnprior but of McNab/Braeside and other surrounding communities that provided the feeder system to our high school ADHS (i.e. Pakenham, Fitzroy Harbour, Kinburn and every farm in between).
DANNY MARTIN
Hometown Proud!
I believe I have the background and skills to make a difference in this community. I want growth but with a vision and end state that provides a balance between living space, industry and commercial businesses. I want Arnprior’s history and integrity preserved – we have lost too much already. I want our recreational resources preserved and enhanced with a view to optimize their value for all to use and others to share. I want to attract commercial business so we have a decent shopping core while supporting and attracting downtown merchants that form the heart of the town. I want to attract and
support industry and small business of all types so our children have an opportunity to learn and prosper and be allowed the freedom to make choices. I want to support our community volunteer organizations that are underappreciated and struggle to survive - their efforts provide the soul of this community. How can this be achieved? - through vision, planning, utilizing resources at all levels of government and industry and the use of our own expertise. I have been across Canada and to many parts of the world and it can be spectacular or downright depressing - both enact strong emotions. However there has not been a stronger emotion of satisfaction within myself then that of returning home - many share that feeling! It is those people I want to represent and it is that emotion I want to enhance for all that live or visit here - that is what I will strive for as a councillor within the town we have chosen to live. If that is what you want send a vote my way on 27 October - Hometown Proud!!

Lifestyle - As October winds strip maples of their colourful garb, ocks of birds are moving south. Some birds, like the Turkey Vultures that teeter-totter in the breeze on their expansive wings, remain silent. Others, such as Red-winged Blackbirds, utter occasional chuckles as they y overhead. And then, of course, there are the Canada Geese whose cascading cacophony overpowers all other sounds. But you don’t have to strain your neck to see birds
migrating in ocks. Currently many sparrows are passing through our area, and large groups can be seen itting along roadside edges
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way and trails that pass through open areas. Most ocks are composed of more than one kind of sparrow, and right now two species - White-crowned and White-throated – are particularly common. While you might think sparrows to be a dull-coloured lot hardly worth of a glance, those two sparrows named after their distinctive appearance are actually quite handsome. Beware, though, that White-throated Sparrows also have black and white stripes (some are black

The hydrant flush will clean the distribution system by flushing any standing red water. The valve maintenance program is designed to clean and exercise the valves and by doing so will extend their life as well as determine whether the valves are operable. The work is planned for October 2 - 31 , 2014 and will be completed in the shortest period of time possible. This procedure is routine but it may result in some temporary inconveniences such as poor water pressure or “red� water. Do not be alarmed.

and tan) on their heads. To make matters even more confusing, young White-crowned Sparrows have a brown-striped head. But they, like their adult forms, lack white throats, and sport pink bills and unmarked gray breasts. Although these two species travel together, they come from very different parts of this country. Whitethroated Sparrows are coniferous forest birds, their distinctive whistled “Sweet, Canada, Canada, Canadaâ€? song familiar to anyone who spent summer in the north woods. To hear a White-crowned sing in summer, however, one must travel much farther north, to where trees become dwarfs, or ascend high mountains to their alpine zones. A reection of their different summer habitats, White-crowned Sparrows nest on the ground while White-throated Sparrows build nests in trees. Most of these sparrows spend winter in the central
and southern states, but a few will remain as far north as southern Ontario. Oddly, even though White-crowned Sparrows nest farther north than do White-throats, they are much more rarely seen in our area in winter. For both species, the individuals that stay here inevitably show up at birdfeeders. In winter all sparrows eat seeds. Their conical bills slice off the tough coverings of small seeds and crack open those of larger seeds. Elongated toenails scratch the ground to reveal seeds hidden under snow, leaves, and other debris. If you want to entice sparrows to appear in your backyard this winter, try sprinkling seeds on the ground. A mixture of cracked corn and white millet is popular with most ground-feeding birds.

A tale of two Sparrows
Hear the trees talk during nature walk Saturday
News – The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust is inviting nature lovers to the High Lonesome Nature Reserve near Pakenham this Saturday, Oct. 18 to let your five senses guide you through the woods. Feel the furry fungi. Listen to the pines whispering to you. Reach out and touch the rough bark of the tree and you may just want to give it a hug. Admire the last fall colours contrasting with the deep greens of the spruces. Smell the fallen leaves. Just stop, close your eyes and breathe it all in. Feel your cares drop off like those autumn leaves. While the woods will be full of opportunities for many rich sensory experiences, mushroom expert George White and other knowledgeable naturalists will focus on fungi, with all their wide array of colours and textures - woolly, slimy, velvety, crisp or shaggy. They will not only help you find, identify and admire the various mushrooms but also explain how amazing mushrooms are and what an important role they play in determining what plants grow in the forest. That mushroom on your plate in future will get much more respect. Immersed in the woods, the quiet is soothing. But wait, there are birds and frogs singing, the trees are creaking and whispering to you. Some of these sounds of nature are so soothing that they are imitated by white noise machines to mask offensive sounds.
To enhance the listening experience, the Land Trust’s soundscaping expert Chad Clifford will provide opportunities to hear nature’s sounds amplified in new ways with enhanced audio recorders and headsets. Not only will you be encouraged to detect the differences between the smell of twigs of distinct trees, the soundscaping equipment will focus your attention on how fir trees sob and moan, ash trees hiss, beech trees rustle, some evergreens whistle, and then there is that strange animal sound that in fact is tree branches rubbing together. Soon you will not only be hugging trees but talking back to them. High Lonesome Nature Reserve is located in the Pakenham Hills. The 200-acre property is legally protected forever by Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust. Registration for this journey of the senses begins at 9:30 a.m. with the guided outings leaving the trailhead at 10 and lasting about two hours. Bring your lunch and gather after your tour to share what you experienced. Be sure to dress for the weather. A $10 donation will go towards the maintenance of the property and its eight kilometers of trails and help the Land Trust acquire other wilderness properties for the benefit of Nature and your well-being. For more information and directions to High Lonesome Nature Reserve, visit www.mmlt.ca or call 613-253-2722.

Test drive a Ford Saturday to help Arnprior Legion of around 20 vehicles on hand for the public to test drive. Stack noted that the Ford F-150 truck is particularly popular and there will be several on hand to drive, along with Escapes, Explorers, Focus and Edges. Hereford said that there will be child care available in the Legion’s back hall so parents are free to go for the test drives. “We’ll keep them (children) entertained,” he said. The Legion will also have a barbecue from 11:30 a.m. on and there will be entertainment with Lauren Hall in the afternoon. “It will be a full day for us,” said Hereford. Test drivers can park in the Legion’s back lot. Stack is optimistic that the fundraiser, which has collected up to $2,600 in previous efforts despite iffy weather, can pass that and close in on the $6,000 maximum. JOHN CARTER/METROLAND Ford will pay $20 to the Legion for Arnprior Legion president Harry Hereford, left, and every test drive Saturday to a maximum Urban Ford’s Walter Stack are encouraging the pub$6,000 (300 people). lic to test drive a Ford this Saturday, Oct. 18.

Randy Caldwell was named Arnprior Legion Kitchen Volunteer of the Year. Caldwell was ill and unable to attend the presentation, so Legion president Harry Hereford accepts the award from Wayne O’Brien.
Caldwell earns Legion volunteer award Community - The Sandra O’Brien Kitchen Volunteer of the Year award was presented to volunteer Randy Caldwell by Wayne O’Brien. Caldwell has been a volunteer for the Legion for many years. He has volunteered in many different events including the Poppies and for several years has done just about everything in the kitchen. Recently he is the sole producer of the best French toast for the monthly breakfast. “Congratulations Randy, a well deserved award.”
News – The Arnprior Legion is facing a number of added expenses as its building ages. So when Urban Ford offered to make the Legion the beneficiary of its latest ‘4UR Community’ test drive fundraiser project, the Legion was delighted. When Urban Ford’s Walter Stack, a Legion member, relayed the offer to Legion president Harry Hereford, he was quick to snap it up. “That’s awesome,” Hereford said. “It’s an especially good time for us … this old building is getting older and needs a number of things. The money will go for repairs.” The Legion has been fundraising in the last couple of years to fix the roof and update the air conditioning among other things. The Legion will host the free test drives this Saturday, Oct. 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at its Daniel Street premises. Urban Ford will have a full range

Arnprior Legion
Community – This is actually September-October-November information. You can tell summer is over, not just by the weather, but because there’s so much going on at the Legion. September came and went so fast. Legion Week was celebrated with a very nice casual dinner as more than 130 people attended. The program was complete with the usual toasts, recognition of the war veterans and units, regiments, RCMP and cadets. This is the second year this dinner has been held early in the day and by all reports it is preferred to the previous later dinner hour meal. Entertainment in the lounge finished off the day
for those who chose to stay after the dinner. The Branch is grateful to the Valley Concert Band and the Army Cadets for volunteering to supply the music and serve the meal. The celebrating week continued with a special bingo, a volunteers casino night and a golf tournament and steak dinner. October is just started, but the Branch is, has been and is, busy again. Bingos, lam nights, hamburger Fridays, Saturday afternoon entertainment and this month’s ‘biggy’. We are pleased that Ford Ltd. has chosen the Arnprior Legion for its “4UR Community” project. This is a terrific opportunity for the community to test drive the new Ford vehicles and also help raise money for the Legion There is no cost to look, drive
or just fill out an interest form. Be sure to come to the Legion this Saturday, Oct. 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will also be a barbecue and entertainment. The Legion has a very nice piece of ground on Edey Street, which is dedicated to all veterans. A Korean War veteran is the “keeper” of the gardens there. He needs some help. If the weather co-operates, he would like some volunteers to do some labour work on this Saturday, Oct. 18 to get the garden grounds ready for planting some bulbs for spring. If you can give a little help, please call the Legion and leave your name and phone number for ‘Ted’. The 2015 memberships are on sale. Be sure to get yours renewed and bring along a new member or two.

Be Strong. Be Confident. Be You.
Being a woman, on your own terms a more egalitarian world. Feminism is still in the midst of its forward race. Although equality may have been reached on the political and legislative levels, there is still work to be done towards consolidating equality with reality. The social role of women is in constant progress. Equality is not synonymous with leveling, and the role of women does not need to be that of men. The real progress, that which deserves to endure but is often hidden behind ceremonious political speeches, is in the fact that it is becoming increasingly feasible for women to choose how they wish to contribute to society. Although there still remain obstacles on the way, the road is open wide and directions have been given.

Lifestyle - A great activist of women’s rights to equality, on feminism in her era, remarked that it was not “an utopist fantasy, the sudden whim of a few fanatical minds (but rather) a legitimate claim by women to their rights as human beings”. Women became conscious of the importance of their social role during the First World War. With men away at war, it became necessary for them to take on all sorts of tasks. Learning to find their true selves and experiencing the satisfaction of feeling useful to society, it is no wonder that once the War was over, many of them refused to reintegrate their “easy” lives running a household. Over the years, from struggle to struggle, women have learned to occupy a larger area in a world of men, to create

Shattering the glass ceiling
Lifestyle - The “glass ceiling� expression appeared towards the end of the 1970s and refers to the obstacles that women must surmount in order to reach the higher levels of professional hierarchies. Even though women in the West are more highly educated and qualified than ever be-fore, we are still quite far from the principal of equal work for equal pay. That is

ambition, charisma, combativeness, power, and authority. We must see that women bring these qualities — and more — to the workplace in a different, equally effective way. We should look at how the glass ceiling hinders their progress and reinforces a negative image of women. We should also ask ourselves if the glass ceiling is maintained

by choice or un-consciously, and what we can do to change those attitudes.

especially the case in other parts of the world. But we mustn’t despair. We just have to look back at the progress made in the last decades and redouble efforts to overcome the discrimination and stereotyping in the workplace that still cast a shadow over many women. We must stop believing that only men can embody competitiveness,
working women live, especially those who are mothers and heads of single-parent families. The solution is to move towards creating conditions that would help women reconcile their work-family responsibilities. Women should take heart that starting a family doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to sacrifice their other dreams. Rallying their partners and children to the quest for equality and power-sharing is certainly the best way to change attitudes and ensure that one day the glass ceiling is shattered.

About 70 per cent of Canadian business women are married, and close to one third have children under 12 years. As a result, these business women are not as likely as their male counterparts to push their businesses to grow, but it’s a choice of lifestyle that works well.

men in the same age group. Women from the baby boomer generation offer solid skills, life experience, practice and learning acquired over years, and are ready to enjoy the benefits of self-employment. One of the fastest-growing sectors for women in small business is to provide business services from a home office. A “typical” Canadian business woman is highly educated, has an average age of 41 years, and is more likely to choose a professional occupation in natural and applied sciences, business or finance, or in the health sector.

Amongst all women small business owners, those over the age of 55, dubbed ‘seniorpreneurs’, represent one of the quickest growing segments.
Lifestyle - Women are making great strides in the world of business. According to a Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce report, “Women Entrepreneurs: Leading the Charge”, more than one million Canadian women will own a small business by 2015. The number of women-owned businesses are increasing 60 per cent faster than those owned by men. One of the quickest growing segments for women in business is being called “seniorpreneurs” - women over the age of 55 whose small businesses are growing at an annual rate of 4% - over double that of self-employed
Women TODAY
Be Strong. Be Confident. Be You.
Women with business in their blood of the world. These women are driven by their self-confidence and their belief in their skills. Chief motivations Women who choose to go into business appear to share a number of common motives. Firstly, they share a desire to reach their potential without constraints and to let their creativity run free. Business women often choose to go out on their own because of their frustrations with the limitations of the business world or typical work environments. Secondly, time management is another com-
mon motivation. Managing your own schedule allows you to invest your energy in the right places and at the right times. Being financially independent also fuels women to create their own businesses. Being business owners means being able to reap every dollar generated by their determined efforts. To be a business woman — a good business woman — involves conviction. Yes, you need to have business in your blood, but above all, you need to truly believe in your skills and in your business.
“If you truly want something in life, then do something about it”.

Lifestyle - Celebrating women in business is important. Who are the women running companies and small enterprises? What drives them and makes them successful?

tect children and youth in the community. Community members may find themselves asking, “what is my obligation to report suspected child abuse.” Under the Child and Family Services Act (CFSA), every citizen has a responsibility for the welfare of children. This means that all members of the public, including professionals who work with children, have an obligation to report concerns to a Children’s Aid Society if they have reasonable grounds to suspect that a child is or may be in need of protection. According to the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (OACAS), reasonable grounds can be interpreted to mean what an average person, given his or her training, background and experience, exercising normal and honest judgment would have reason to suspect. Further, it is important that the individual who has reasonable grounds to suspect that a child is or may be in need of protection make the report directly to their local Children’s Aid Society and not rely on anyone else to relay such information.
In addition, once a report has been made, there is an ongoing obligation to continue to report should additional information become known. This ensures critical information subsequent to the initial referral is not overlooked, in any decisions made in relation to the safety and well-being of the child. It is encouraged by all Children’s Aid Societies that when an individual in the community is unsure if the information they have equates to suspected child abuse to call and consult with a Child’s Aid Society worker. Persons who make a report are protected from liability under Section 72(7) of the CFSA unless he or she acted maliciously or without reasonable grounds for his and her suspicion. In understanding one’s duty to report, it is also important to note it is not the role of any professional, other than the police and the Children’s Aid Society worker, to conduct the investigation into the alleged abuse/neglect. If you or someone you know has reason-

Catholic students launch creative ‘Who I AM’ food drive
News - The Renfrew County Catholic District School Board’s Who I AM … Scripture Food Drive is a food drive with a difference. It’s a fun and non-competitive way to spread God’s Word and collect food for His children, says the school board in a news release. Both Arnprior Catholic schools, St. Joseph’s and St. John XXIII, are participating in the food drive. “It is scripture-based and will have a serious tone as we highlight unconditional love, resiliency, and how small acts of kindness, appreciation, and gratitude are effective methods of promoting a positive mental health and wellness approach to life,” explained Bishop Smith principal Clint Young. The Who I AM pilot project started two years ago based on the “pay it forward” premise. It initially involved four Renfrew County Catholic schools and 300 students. Using resources built from her own education, and relying on the Holy Spirit to help navigate the program, co-founder Jody McDonald, an RCCDSB teacher and religious education specialist, said she believes in making religion fun in the classroom. Each student in the four participating classrooms was presented with a blue ribbon and the ‘gift of words’ - an affirmation that “Who you are makes a difference to all of us because … Thank you for being who you are!” Each student was also presented with two gold ribbons to pass on to two individuals in their life who
made a difference in who they are - a friend, teacher, grandparent, coach or priest. “This action acknowledges the connectedness and interconnectedness of relationships. The ripple of gratitude becomes a tsunami of unconditional love. Student reflections have stated ‘gratitude becomes contagious’,” noted McDonald. Enthusiastic uptake of the program saw it expand to seven schools and multiple classrooms. “The outreach was a staggering 4,500 individuals who received either a blue or gold ribbon along with words of gratitude,” said McDonald. Funding was received from the Ontario Ministry of Education for a Teacher Learning Leadership Program (TLLP) initiative called ‘Empowering Religion Educators’ to assist with development of the new program. Who I AM Makes A Difference Because Jesus Loves Me! is being integrated into the curriculum this fall with a five-day lesson plan customized for each grade level from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Day five culminates with teachers making the presentation of a ‘gift of words’ to each student and a Who I AM ‘gift’, and issuing the challenge to students to pay it forward by presenting two ‘gifts’ and the ‘gift of words’ to others who make a difference to who they are. The program kicked off with the scripturebased food drive timed to coincide with the Feast of the Guardian Angels and leading up to Thanksgiving.
In a unique initiative to reach out to others, each grade is receiving a biblical passage that is connected to the staple food items they will collect. For example, the Grade one passage from Exodus 12:20 includes the words “... you shall eat unleavened bread,” so Grade one students will collect crackers and cookies. The Grade 12 passage from Revelations 22:1, “Then the angel showed me the river of water of life...” will inspire students to collect beverages. The challenge is encompassing every school across the board as well as school councils and board staff, who also have been assigned a bible passage.
John XXIII presented its food bank donations to the Arnprior and District Food Bank last Friday, while St. Joseph’s is presenting its haul to the food bank this Friday, Oct. 17. “It will promote solidarity across our board, but each school will have the autonomy to distribute the collected goods in their own community to a food bank, parish or soup kitchen,” noted Young. The many layers of the program break down barriers, build self-worth, and embody the board’s vision within each classroom, school, and school community. “The Who I AM project started with a ripple and it continues to send out waves,” he added.

of the house in 1957. All these additions have been incorporated into a finish of dark painted exterior cedar shingles with a vibrant white trim, making it pop against its natural surroundings. Inside, the narrow plank floors remain true to its original look even with new finishes. Muted colours adorn the walls to which the owners have added collected vintage artwork and needlepoint. A newly renovated kitchen in a colour palette that co-ordinates with the rest of the home brings a modern functionality yet complementing the remaining character of the house. Antique and comfortable furniture reigns throughout and a formal dining room with original built-in cabinets is a must see. Tickets to see this and four other remarkable homes are $25, which include a tea at the Curling Club at 15 Gavin St. in Arnprior.
Sports - The Arnprior Packers are holding their own so far in the early days of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season. As of last week, the Packers had two wins and three losses, the fourthbest record in the six-team Valley Division. After losing its first game, Arnprior won its home opener 5-3 over Almonte Thunder. Following a 5-3 away loss to the first-place Renfrew Wolves, the Packers edged Perth Blue Wings 4-3 in a Sunday afternoon contest at the Nick Smith Centre. In their first game in October, the Packers were outscored 9-6 by Stittsville. In the win over Almonte, Arnprior scored three straight in the third period to break a 2-2 tie. Corey Chaplin, Liam Killeen and James Prebble tallied the goals. Luc Deschamps and Dallas Farr had scored the Packers’ earlier goal. Dominic Plaschy earned the win in net, as Arnprior outshot Almonte 43-27. In the loss in Renfrew, Deschamps, Robert Darnowski and Kurtis Keo-
hane scored for the Packers and Plaschy made 29 saves. In the victory over Perth, Deschamps and Killeen set up Chris Marchand with the eventual winning goal with less than five minutes left in the third period. Killeen with two and Deschamps scored Arnprior’s other goals. Mateo Scapillati took a turn in net and made 31 saves. In a wild game Oct. 3, the Packers fell behind 2-1, 4-2 and 7-4 before pulling to within 7-6 when Keohane scored at 11:58 of the third. However, Stittsville scored two quick goals late in the period to seal the win. Other Arnprior goal-scorers were Casey Doner and Deschamps with two each and Farr with a single. Farr added two assists and Darnowski had three helpers. Scapillati was shelled with 41 shots by Stittsville, which is challenging Renfrew for top spot in the division. Arnprior plays a home-and-home series with the Metcalfe Jets this weekend, hosting the Metro Division team Friday, Oct. 17 at 8 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre.

Earn Extra Money! Green Shirts hockey players Keep Your Weekends Free! to hold reunion at Prior Friday Sports – Players and coaches involved with the Green Shirts Hockey organization are holding a reunion in Arnprior this Friday, Oct. 17. The group was originally founded in the 1920s and continued to play into the 1930s in a semi-professional Valley league. Ron Lapensee reports that at one time famous musician Mac Beatty was the goalie. He even wrote a song that mentioned the Green Shirts (Lapensee thinks the title is ‘On the banks of the Ottawa River’). Prior to the reunion, organizers will go to the museum in Arnprior to research more of the Green Shirts’ history. The team folded after the 1930s and was revived 54 years ago by Maurice Robillard, a
well-known Arnprior resident and former Korean war hero. The team is now folding after 54 years of playing hockey in Arnprior and in Ottawa Valley tournaments. At least 22 of the players that were part of the team from the ‘60s and ‘70s through today are planning to be at the reunion, which will take place at the Prior Sports Bar starting at 2 p.m. “Anyone who played for the Green Shirts, especially on the teams managed by Robillard, are more than welcome to attend,� said Lapensee. Among the managers succeeding Maurice Robillard were Brian Robillard, Dave Holmes, Terry Robillard and Jimmy Robillard, he noted.

St. John XXIII Catholic School student Emily Wisteard, shown in front of picture of Pope John XXIII, was one of many students playing key roles in the ceremony celebrating the school’s renaming its 50th anniversary. Above right, student Cassandra Kidd carries a flower pot full of student photographs into the gym, one of many artifacts on display during the afternoon ceremony and at an evening open house held at the Arnprior school Oct. 9. See another photo of some of the artifacts, see Page 33.
St. John XXIII renaming reflects Pope’s sainthood school’s 50th anniversary. It was followed up by an open house at the school that evening. The renaming is in response to the canonization of Pope John XXIII in April. Speakers including Father John Burchat, Arnprior-McNab-Braeside Catholic school trustee Andy Bray and school board chair Bob Michaud told the gathering that Pope John XXIII was a man of peace, joy and hope.
He ascended to being Pope because he understood the value of education, the students were told. Principal designate Jane KennyChaput acted as emcee. Students Adam McCuaig, Madie Develin and Haven Caster gave readings. Students Matthew Richard, Shay-Lyn Kluke, Keandra O’Brien and Damen Gauthier gave the Prayer of the Faithful.
Among choir students singing in front of banner proclaiming the new name of their school are Courtney Mosley, Jordyn Lacasse, Dakota Gallinger, Jade White and Allison Niblett.

A Week Dedicated to Hometown Business
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.

Seniors at Home helping seniors with free exercise classes Liz Wall Seniors at Home
Lifestyle - Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home is very pleased to be able to inform all seniors that exercise classes, designed just for them, are now available at the Nick Smith Centre. The classes are offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1- 1:30 p.m. and 1:30-2 p.m. The classes are free to seniors and they are welcome to stay for both and to participate as often as they wish. No registration is required. The goal of these classes, with fitness instructor Ardella Schutt, is to provide more seniors with access to a community-based service that help increase regular physical activity and prevent falls. The pursuit of this goal by the Champlain LHIN is entirely consistent with its vision to have “healthy people and healthy communities supported by a quality, accessible health system.” In the pursuit to ensure that more people receive quality, evidence-based care, we must ensure that our health care system provides care that is accessible, equitable, effective, efficient, and safe.

As of press time, those booked to attend the symposium include the Grove Adult Day Program and Assisted Living Program, County of Renfrew Paramedic Services, Driver Instructor for All Ages, Island View Retirement Suites, Nordic Pole Walking, Northern Credit Union, and Ontario Assessment and Referral Service, Arnprior Senior Citizen Club, Women’s Sexual Assault Centre of Renfrew County, Willis College of Arnprior, Renfrew County Paramedic Service, Arnprior- Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program and the Ontario Provincial Police’s Renfrew Detachment (officers will be speaking on the various forms of fraud against seniors).

Out of the 24 programs offered by ABMSH, 21 of them require volunteers to assist in the operation of the program. “I can’t say enough about our volunteers. They are truly a huge part of our agency. Angels each and every one of them,” said executive director Dennis Harrington. “Through our local office, staff and the volunteers we continue to provide practical home assistance to all seniors and those with special needs in the spirit of neighbour helping neighbour,” he added.

Body, Mind and Spirit
Lifestyle – My older and much wiser sister Audrey said it was all in my head. I had discussed it with her at length one Saturday while we were doing our weekly chores. That morning we were upstairs changing beds, dusting the floor with the rag mop, and wiping the windowsills with a damp cloth. It was a time I cherished because it meant I had my sister all to myself, even if she was in a hurry to get finished so that she could visit with her best friend Iva on the next farm. And so I asked her again. “Audrey, why does fall smell different than other times of the year?” That’s when she told me it was all in my head. I certainly didn’t want to argue with my sister. After all, she was much older than I was, and as far as I was concerned was just about the smartest girl in all of Renfrew County! So I decided I would not mention it again. I would just go on believing in my heart that fall smelled differently from any other time of the year. All I had to do was stand at the back door, put my head outside and breathe deeply. The big maple tree had shed all its leaves, and I could smell them. No one could convince me that there was no smell from them … it was a mixture of damp ground and dried leaves. I would fill my nostrils with the scent, and marvel, and I would wonder if I was the only one who noticed there was a difference between the smells of
MARY COOK Memories summer and fall. The frost would come and I knew the smell outside would change again. I knew without a doubt that the smoke from the cook stove was different once the colder weather came. At no other time of the year did I notice the wonderful smell of burning logs as I watched the smoke curl above the roof of the house. And I would wonder why. When I went into the barns at night, they certainly didn’t smell like they did in the heat of the summer. The cows gave off a warmth and it filled the barn, and the aroma of the hay from the loft wafted down. Even the straw in each stall had what I called a cold weather smell. When I mentioned this to my sister Audrey, she said it was just my imagination playing tricks on me … all in my head, she said. The inside of our house smelled different too. The windows were shut tight, and trapped inside were the smells of gum rubbers, propped against the woodbox beside the Findlay Oval, and the musty smell of
winter coats hanging at the back door. And I could smell wool. Everywhere there was wool … in the hats and mitts at the ready for the winter in a basket under the bake table, there was wool. Certainly, these things were nowhere to be seen in the summer! So how could my sister Audrey say it was all in my head? I would wonder why she too didn’t notice the smell of fall. By the time we were well into October, Mother would have put out the braided rugs that had spent the summer rolled up in layers of the Renfrew Mercury and kept under our beds. They too had the smell of fall on them. There would be the faint aroma of wool and from the papers, and they would add to that special tinge to my nose that told me the season had changed … the smells of summer were gone, and the smells of fall were around me. By that time of year, our summer clothes would be changed to warmer skirts and sweaters. They had been packed away in a

It mattered not how long Mother hung each piece out on the clothesline, she was never able to completely get rid of the smell of the mothballs. They too had the smell of fall. So, it mattered not how much my older and wiser sister Audrey said it was all in my head. I knew without a doubt, this time of year there was a special smell all around me. It came in gusts outside, and hung inside our old log house, and stayed in my nostrils, bringing me a special feeling of warmth and contentment. At that young age, I decided it was my favourite time of the year. There was no doubt about it. Fall had come at last … hadn’t my nose told me so? Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

This measure further improves the financial security and well-being of more than 680 000 seniors across Canada.” The government also provided $2.8 billion in 2013 in additional tax relief to seniors and pensioners through measures such as pension income splitting and increasing the Age credit,” she added. As well, $400 million over two years has been allocated under Canada’s Economic Action Plan for the construction of housing units for low-income seniors and the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) has an annual budget of $50 million. Since 2006, the NHSP has funded more than 13,000 projects in hundreds of communities across Canada, many in

Canadian soldiers need union, NDP critic tells Valley crowd News - The NDP’s national defence critic Jack Harris has told local New Democrats that the treatment of Canadian soldiers and veterans shows the Harper Conservatives are poor managers and not supportive of Canada’s troops. The MP from St. John’s East and former leader of the Newfoundland and Labrador NDP spoke to the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke NDP at their annual meeting at the Eganville Legion on Sept. 17. “They claim to be good at management, but they can’t deliver,” he said. “They can’t equip our military; they can’t fix pension plan. And they can’t provide good health care for our soldiers and veterans.” He noted that the military, under Harper, has experienced “more suicides than when in actual combat.” The military ombudsman, he said, has been critical of the government “time and again.” “Veterans Affairs is a shocking indictment of the government’s claims to support our troops,” said Harris. “Instead of offering personal services, they’re closing down offices. The banks are given tax breaks in excess of $50 million while this government is cutting back on services and laying people off.” The NDP, he said, represents many risings with military bases, in B.C., Quebec, NewCHRIS TANNER/SUBMITTED foundland and Nova Scotia, for example. “This is no accident,” said Harris. “We repNDP federal defence critic Jack Harris speaks about the plight of Canada’s sol- resent working people who unfortunately don’t diers to Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke par- have the same means of fighting for themselves as other workers.” ty members at the Eganville Legion.
Province of Ontario’s deficit $1.3 billion lower than forecast News - Ontario’s final deficit number for 2013-14 was $10.5 billion - $1.3 billion lower than projected in the 2013 budget, and $.8 billion lower than the interim projection in the 2014 budget. It marks the fifth year in a row that Ontario has beaten its deficit target - making the province one of the only governments in Canada to achieve this level of success. As a result, Ontario’s accumulated deficit is $25 billion lower than it otherwise would have been.
Finance Minister Charles Sousa reiterated that the government’s plan is to eliminate the deficit by 2017-18 includes annual program savings targets of $250 million for 2014-15 and $500 million for each of the next two years. The government’s most recent Speech from the Throne outlined its four-point plan – investing in people; building of modern infrastructure; supporting a dynamic business climate that thrives on innovation, creativity and partnerships; and providing better retirement security for Ontarians.
Harris encouraged local New Democrats to continue in their work despite the difficulties of working in a riding with a long-serving Conservative incumbent. “We fight to maintain the values that make this country great,” he said. “Your work supporting those values is important even if you don’t win, and you’re not going to win every seat. No party wins every seat.” The NDP Caucus, he said, is more representative of the people of Canada than any other party’s, with more young people and “the largest percentage of women any party caucus in history.” He said the Harper Conservatives “want to
turn the clock back” on social progress by forcing people to work beyond the age of 65. “Not everybody will be affected,” he said. “If you have lots of money, you don’t get old age pension. But over 60 per cent of Canadians seniors rely on OAS and CPP as their sole source of income.” He said the changes to the retirement system were unnecessary, according to research by Finance Canada, and wrong. “We’ve got a government telling children don’t expect to have the same level of security as your parents, or to have the same benefits as we had.”

No logging in park recommendation irks MPP, delights Greens News – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has expressed his frustration with the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario’s report last week stating that harvesting of timber in Algonquin Provincial Park should no longer be allowed. “I am extremely disappointed that Commissioner Miller would put forward this recommendation without proper consultation with the forestry industry and local residents” Yakabuski said in a news release. “The banning of responsible timber harvesting in Algonquin Park would have a devastating impact to the economy of Eastern Ontario and would mean thousands of residents in my riding would lose their jobs.” Yakabuski pointed out that systematic harvesting of timber in Algonquin Park has conclusively prov-

en to reduce the frequency of forest fires. Furthermore, the logging roads that the forest industry maintains are the same ones the Ministry of Natural Resources uses to fight fires when they do occur. The forest industry works with the Ministry to ensure that sensitive areas of the park are not negatively affected by the harvest, he stressed, adding that the “responsible development of this renewable resource” has gone on in Algonquin Park for 120 years. In the report, Miller states that there are sufficient forests outside of
Algonquin to meet industry needs. However, he failed to consider the fact that under the agreement-inprinciple negotiated with the Algonquins of Ontario the largest tracks that are currently Crown land will become Algonquin land, pointed out Yakabuski. For Miller to act under the basis that it would be business as usual would be more than presumptuous,” he added. “In fact, this uncertainly will kill the forest industry in that part of the province.” In his remarks, the Environment Commissioner stated that this pro-
annual report, the ecological integrity of the park is threatened, as over 65 per cent of Algonquin Park is open to logging, he noted. “The Liberals have a choice: stop the logging or be honest with people that Algonquin is not really a provincial park with basic environmental protections,” said Schreiner. The Green Party is calling for a ban now in order to provide forestry companies time to economically phase out logging in the park over the next decade, he added. “Like many parents, one of the highlights of my summer was paddling in Algonquin with my daughter. I’m not going to let the status quo politics at Queen’s Park prevent my daughter from enjoying the park with my grandkids,” said Schreiner. “Algonquin is worth fighting to protect.”
cess should occur in a logical and non-economically damaging way, said Yakabuski. “It is clear that he has underestimated the impact this will have for the people living around Algonquin Park. If this is his precondition for going forward he will be unable to support this plan” the MPP concluded. In contrast to Yakabuski’s position, the Green Party of Ontario is calling for a ban on logging in Algonquin Park. In a news release last week, Green Party of Ontario leader Mike Schreiner suggested that “people are outraged when they learn that the Liberals are failing to protect one of the province’s Crown Jewels - Algonquin Park. It’s time to phase out logging in Algonquin now,” he said. According to the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario’s (ECO)

Volunteer Karen Smith makes sure to buy raffle tickets from young Bryanna Watt at the Arnprior breast cancer dinner. Donated by breast cancer survivor Sylvie Lafontaine, the pink Afghan took six months and was much appreciated at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising dinner.
Nancy Black, left, organizer Elta Watt, and Nancy MacNaughton are among the over 100 volunteers who made the 17th annual buffet dinner in support of the Arnprior and District Breast Cancer Support Group a success on Oct. 7. Almost $11,000 (before expenses) was raised this year in one of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular fall dinners.
The lineup went clear out the door at St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall during the buffet. While meals are worth about $20, all that is asked is a goodwill offering. Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, October 16, 2014 49

The many benefits of walking the colon, helping to control body weight, helping osteoarthritis, and helping to increase flexibility and co-ordination. The following will help turn your normal walk into a fitness stride: • keep your head up; • look forward, not at the ground; • your neck, shoulders and back should be relaxed; • swing your arms freely with a slight bend in your elbows; • tighten your stomach muscles, back is straight, not arched forward or backward; • walk smoothly, rolling your foot from heel to toe. As you start your walking routine, remember to: Get the right gear. Choose shoes with proper arch support, a firm heel and thick
flexible soles to cushion your feet and absorb shock. If you walk outdoors when it’s dark, wear bright colors or reflective tape for visibility. Choose your course carefully. If you’ll be walking outdoors, avoid paths with cracked sidewalks, potholes, low-hanging limbs or uneven turf. Warm up. Walk slowly for five to 10 minutes to warm up your muscles and prepare your body for exercise. Cool down. At the end of your walk, walk slowly for five to 10 minutes to help your muscles cool down. Stretch. After you cool down, gently stretch your muscles. If you’d rather stretch before you walk, warm up first. Ian Harris of Arnprior is a registered nutritional therapist, certified food psychology coach, certified wellness coach and personal chef. He holds many other certifications and specializes in lifestyle and weight management. He can be reached at ww.ianharris.ca.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!
Opinion – Walking is a simple way to improve overall well-being and reduce the chances of developing the health concerns associated with inactivity. Walking is free and can be done almost anywhere indoors or out. Walking is a form of exercise that is within the physical capabilities of many people. Walking may be a more realistic challenge than other more vigorous forms of exercise. Walking can be integrated into people’s lifestyles with relative ease. The level of impact is low and, therefore, the strain on the feet and joints are minimized, making the risk of injury very low. Increasing physical activity through walking is associated many health benefits including reducing the risk of coronary heart disease, lowering blood pressure, reducing high cholesterol, reducing body fat, enhancing mental well-being, increasing bone density, reducing the risk of cancer of

These are the words â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ottawa Valley Troubadourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lyle Dillabough uses to describe performing at the White Lake Restaurant as he has several times now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just feels so good,â&#x20AC;? he says. On this Saturday, Oct. 18, he will return there again along with broadcaster/entertainer Rick Leben to perform another â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kitchen Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; style fundraising concert. As in the past there is no admission charge, but donations (non-perishable food items or cash) will be collected and donated to the Arnprior Food Bank. There are usually other musicians who show up and the guitars get past around. Someone will tell a story, another one will sing a song, somebody tells a yarn or two and everyone has a good time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple and I think that is why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so great.â&#x20AC;? Dillabough explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Folks just seem to be longing for that nowadays.â&#x20AC;? Leben and Dillabough joined forces together recently at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Time up the Lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fundraising concert at Glasgow United Church in September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (Leben) is a real hoot and a great guy to work with,â&#x20AC;? Dillabough said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;He makes you laugh.â&#x20AC;? The music gets going at 7 p.m.
Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Lanark and District Museum has spent the past year researching and compiling the names of men and women from the Lanark Highlands who fought or otherwise participated in the First World War.

Prior Player introduce the rest of the Hildaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yard cast Arts - Two weeks ago Prior Players announced that rehearsals were beginning for its fall play, Hildaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yard by Norm Foster, and introduced the two lead actors. This week some of the other impressive cast members are highlighted. It is 1956 and Hilda and Sam Fluck (Elaine Lowe and Dave Anthony) unexpectedly have both of their children move back home. Gary (Mike Poehlmann) has lost his job and Janey (Amanda Dixie) has left her husband. In addition to himself, Gary brings over two additional mouths to feed, his girlfriend Bobbi Jakes (Nadia Ouellet), and his bookie Beverly Woytowich (Alan Rowsom). This is a look back at a bygone era, which tells us that no matter how much time passes family dynamics never truly change. Prior Players are pleased to bring in newcomer Mike Poehlmann as Hilda and Sam Fluckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son. It is Poehlmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first time on stage with Prior Players and they are excited to have him. His development on stage has been impressive and Prior Players looks forward to seeing how much more he has in store for them. Returning from her previous production of Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Dress for Dinner and producing Leading Ladies is Dixie. She will be starring as Hilda and Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Janey Fluck. Prior Players is lucky to have Dixie this year because her two young sons keep her very busy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful to them for giving her the time off to come work with us.â&#x20AC;?

NO CLEAN SWEEP WITH DIRTY BROOM Clarification on some of the misinformation being circulated with this campaign; Lie #1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Campbell Rink of Dreams. There have been no plans or agreement with the Township of McNab/Braeside to build, participate in, or rent an arena. Truth: Yes, Council has had one 15 minute presentation from a private investment group outlining interest in a commercial development using a sports arena rather than a box store as their anchor. I have no idea on the status of the plans nor is it anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business since it is PRIVATE. Should these investors deem their business plan viable, they will need to submit a Zoning Amendment application requiring a Public Meeting, everyone will have opportunity to comment. Yes, when Council despaired of reaching successful negotiations with Arnprior, I advised Council that we needed an alternative recreation solution for our residents, would Council consider the options of renting facilities (including Arnprior), buying (prefab), or building. Yes, the Provincial/Federal governments always encourage municipalities to look at Public/Private Partnerships (3P) but Council agreed that a potential project would be too small and the Township not equipped to enter into such an agreement, the decision was made NOT to pursue any of those options.

Lie #2 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Council does not take the RRL Petition seriously. Truth: Council takes all community input seriously including results of the Municipal Survey and recommendations of Recreation Advisory Committee. There is more than one voice in McNab/Braeside. Also under consideration is the the fact that the Petition includes duplications, entries from residents of Arnprior/Renfrew and, amusingly, at least two that signed themselves as Goldie Mohr, the contractor for Creek Side Road, last year. Also taken into consideration, is the fact that the Petition cites the range of household contributions to be $45-75/yr. I have worked averages three different ways and can get $78-$83/yr. If the range is over all household assessments, say from $150K-$1Mn, the household impact varies from $44-$291. Yes, this misinformation tempers my view of the Petition. 2013 Agreements = $263K minus $11K ON Library Grant = $252K = 7% of Tax Base. 2013 Tax Rate was $415/000K. 7% of $415 = $29 X 000K property assessment value. Lie #3 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; That anyone can reduce the tax levy in 2015 Truth: The Province has announced its plan to reduce Power Dam payments. This likely to mean a $45K reduction in 2015. The Province has announced that it will be phasing out MPF funding entirely (another $450K impact to M/B over ? years) Council has already received notice that its 2015 OPP charges, under the new billing formula, will be over $90K more than 2014. Volunteer fire fighters have been ruled as Part-time Employees and are subject to Pay Equity. Innuendo #1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Council is responsible for the over $400K increase in levy cited by Mr. Peckett Truth: $286 of that $400+K is directly attributable to provincial Municipal Partnership Fund cutbacks that, yes, now have to come out of our pockets. Nor did Mr. Peckett mention the fact that another $100K is directly attributable to the increases in the Arnprior Library and Recreation Agreements.

Mac Dougall brings â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I Want to See the Lightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to Burnstown Lifestyle - Singer-songwriter Sarah MacDougall will be performing her new single â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I Want To See The Light (Lost From Our Eyes) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thursday, Oct. 23 at Neat CafĂŠ in Burnstown. MacDougallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new single is inspired by a true story while growing up in Sweden. In 2009-10, residents of her city of Malmo feared for their lives while one extremist man shot dark-haired people at night. During this time, the streets were deserted. Many people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel safe to go outside from fear of being shot for the colour of their hair or skin. The new single will be featured on her album to be released next year, but is avail-
able now on sarahmacdougall.com. I Want To See The Light (Lost From Our Eyes) features fellow Swedish vocalist Erika Angell from Thus Owls and was produced by Sarah, and Caleb Stull. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a song about finding our spark again. Finding our passion and spirituality again in a world that is alienating and full of growing violence,â&#x20AC;? MacDougall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a song about my personal experience as a woman walking down a quiet street at night, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;flaneuringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; like artists have done for centuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a song about racism,â&#x20AC;? MacDougall added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a love song. Feel free to dance.â&#x20AC;?
Innuendo #2 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Council is providing â&#x20AC;&#x153;kickbacksâ&#x20AC;? to developers and exhibiting other inappropriate/criminal behavior re: Mr. Peckettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call for a forensic audit. Truth: Susan Anglin, one of our newer developers, phoned citing a rumour circulating that Council is paying a developer $45K in kickbacks. She was incensed and marshaled other developers, considering investment in McNab/Braeside, to attend Monday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting to clear their reputations. The current Council might not always agree but their individual ethic is above reproach. Innuendo #3 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Council is not â&#x20AC;&#x153;interestedâ&#x20AC;? in successful Library/Recreation Agreements with Arnprior and has created â&#x20AC;&#x153;animosityâ&#x20AC;?. Truth: There is no animosity. Relations with Arnprior remain cordial on all other fronts, we simply disagree. We could have had a Library Agreement many times over but in spite of Provincial direction to do so, the Arnprior Library Board has refused to negotiate directly with McNab/Braeside and has elected to have the Town represent it. The Town has steadfastly refused to negotiate a Library Agreement unless McNab/Braeside signs a lump sum Recreation Agreement without accountability, something to which Council cannot agree. McNab/Braeside has asked the Town to adopt the Town of Renfrew Per Person model. Another option is to commit to a minimum pool and ice hour rentals. Mayor Reid likes to use the Laurentian Valley/Pembroke Agreement as an example. Mayor Jack Wilson will tell you that for SEVEN years Laurentian Valley held payments until Pembroke provided the appropriate reporting. There is nothing weird or untoward about what Council is asking, it is merely fiscally responsible. If there is animosity, it is from those residents who really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about fiscal prudence or ensuring equity in access, only want what they want. Hypocracy #1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Claiming â&#x20AC;&#x153;Open for Businessâ&#x20AC;? while we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even stop to listen to the ideas and needs of our local and new developers. Truth: The only way to get ahead of the tax increases outlined above is to grow our commercial tax base. For each $1 of residential tax, businesses contribute $1.80. We need to support local entrepreneurs like Lea Hutchings, not dump on them. McNab/Braeside has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;Open for Businessâ&#x20AC;? for the past 8 years. We have improved our services and need to do more. Most importantly, we have to be open minded as we listen to other ideas, shaping the future, enriching rather than eroding our rural way of life. Its depressing that all the information above is readily available should any one care to do their homework becauseâ&#x20AC;Ś.NOTHING IS HIDDEN IN MCNAB/BRAESIDE! All the signs in the world do not replace presenting of an honest, open, informed platform without resorting to innuendo and slurs on other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputations, that only damages our Township. Please respect that fact that the people of McNab/Braeside are far from stupid and see through lies and partial information. Stop all this nonsense! Mary Campbell

Lifestyle - October is Canadian Library Month and this year’s theme is Inspire. The Arnprior Public Library is celebrating with a variety of creative activities aimed to inspire library users. There are some great giveaways for a number of contests. We’re inviting patrons to tell us how they use the library by filling in a speech bubble that will be on display on a community wall during the month of October. There is a book jar challenge in which you are asked to try and “read excerpts” from three books and guess titles and authors. The trick is the excerpts are locked in glass jars. Please note no books were harmed in the creation of this contest. Your creative juices will be put to the test in our Black-out Poetry contest.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. By Shawn Ryan, CFP, TEP Partner and Senior Insurance and Estate Planner Scrivens Insurance and Financial Solutions
Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come. There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.
Here is a scenario where a mother owns purchase a permanent life insurance policy a family business and wishes to gift the for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to shares to her adult children through a charity through her Will. provision in her Will. She wants to eliminate This is a win-win for both her family and capital gains taxes of the shares payable the charity. She will own the policy during at her death. The taxable capital gains her lifetime and name her estate as policy reportable on the deemed disposition of beneficiary. She will direct that a gift in an shares on death is $500,000 and tax owing amount equal to the life insurance proceeds on this amount is $230,000 (base on a be paid to a charity named in the Will. The 46% marginal tax rate). charity will receive the lump sum amount She also wants to make a sizeable donation equal to the insurance proceeds upon to her favourite charitable organization, but her death. A tax receipt issued for 100% doesn’t want to reduce her estate assets. of the donation by the charity will qualify Given the options mentioned above, she for a tax credit to be used in her final tax decides that the most viable solution is to return. This credit has completely eliminated the tax liability on the shares at death and

The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. This should be considered in the bigger context of planned giving options available to donors both during their lifetime and at death.

the estate value is preserved. In this case, premiums for the life insurance policy are paid with a relatively small percentage of the funds that would otherwise have been used to pay taxes owing.
