Arnprior to develop bylaw for block parties DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The decade-long tradition of a block party in Arnprior was broken for failure of a municipal policy. For 10 years, the residents of Bell Street near Arnprior District High School have gotten together outside their homes for a barbecue, kids’ games and more. It was an end-ofsummer block party. However, according to resident Elaine Lowe, in a letter to Mayor David Reid, an anonymous complaint was filed with police during last year’s party. OPP arrived and informed the 20 or so participants that they would appreciate a call next time; just keep them in the know. Lowe’s husband John phoned the town this summer to say the 11th annual Bell Street block party was going to take place. That’s when they learned the town has no policy and accompanying bylaws in place to address block parties, which are fairly common in most communities. The topic was given considerable attention at a recent council meeting, with many elected officials offering an opinion. Reeve Walter Stack said block

They can’t allow block parties on busy Daniel Street, for instance. Safety is paramount, he indicated. Stack noted that the issue is the result of a single complaint, similar to a recent case of a small business in town not in compliance with a bylaw. The owners and many residents were upset, and town staff spent much time trying to find a solution. Coun. Dan Lynch said it is only one compliant yet council and staff will have to spend much time and energy developing a bylaw. “Now people will need insurance to eat a hotdog out front of their houses,” Lynch said. Stack said insurance used for the Sunday Market on John Street should be applied to block parties. Coun. Lynn Grinstead grew up in the area and expressed incredulity, saying it is a children’s event.

Meeting shows support for nursing home expansion DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Some communities oppose a new or expanded nursing home. Maybe they have more than enough beds for elderly residents with complex needs. Maybe a cost to local ratepayers is in place and they feel tapped out. There are several reasons some municipalities are against projects such as the one proposed in Arnprior. That doesn’t seem to be the case in Arnprior. An Oct. 12 meeting was called by the provincial government to gather community input for the Grove Nursing Home redevelopment plan. Phil Moorman of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care arrived that afternoon, to the public library, and observed as additional seating was brought out for the 50 or more people in attendance. His department already knows support has come from Arnprior Regional Health (ARH), the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), along with other local health care networks. All these groups favour 36 additional licences for long-term care beds on top of the existing 60. He wanted to hear directly from residents. “We want to hear what you have to say. And issuing the licences won’t happen until we hear from you,” Moorman said. “We’ve not made a decision on licensing to the Grove yet.” Several spoke in favour of the plan, shown in a series of architectural drawings in one corner of the meeting room. They include representa-

When approved, the new and expanded Grove Nursing Home will increase from 60 to 96 longterm care beds. A recent public meeting showed overwhelming support for the project. tives from Arnprior Seniors’ Council, the current Grove’s resident and caregivers’ councils, Rotary, L’Arche, two area mayors, and more. When Moorman asked if anyone in the room opposed the plan, everything went silent. The

fact that many are aware Arnprior has one-third the provincial average of beds per resident has evidently spoken volumes in recent months. Premier Kathleen Wynne heard the message while in Arnprior this past summer where she

announced her government’s commitment to 36 more beds. The new and expanded 96-bed Grove Nursing Home would put it at third-quarters the provincial average. Beyond beds, however, would be quality care. It would be dementia-friendly with looping hallways, much natural lighting, safe gardens, and perimeter fencing. The current Grove cannot accept dementia patients. It would also convert the existing building to a “seniors’ village” attached by an external hallway to the new Grove. It would include services to assist elderly residents to age in place, improving quality of life before circumstances force them from their homes and into long-term care. It is the commitment to quality of life offered by the seniors’ village that captured the attention of Wynne and many in the health ministry. A full one-half of the province’s almost 3,400 beds are in need of redevelopment; 300 homes need redeveloping; building new is a difficult sell. But ARH CEO Eric Hanna put forward a convincing case, built in no small part with the seniors’ village concept. Moorman gave him credit for, not just rallying the community to pressure politicians, but for doing the hard research for a solid case. “Eric may have magic dust. But this is not a favour to Eric,” Moorman said, laughing. “Not to take away from the hard work he’s done. It has to make sense.” The government is accepting comments up to Oct. 26. A decision will be announced at an unspecified time after that.

New bridge planned for Hwy. 17 Mississippi River crossing JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) took over the Kinburn Community Centre on Oct. 3 to show off its plans for a new bridge over the Mississippi River. The provincial ministry and related bridgework stakeholders hosted an open house to share details of the plan to replace the Mississippi River Bridge. Construction on a new three-span, steel-girder bridge will start in the spring of 2018 with completion expected around the fall of 2019. The bridge will be closed throughout. The current, three-span, steel-truss bridge was built in 1954 and “would require significant repairs” to extend its service life.

The MTO began work on the project in 2013 with an initial study. In 2015, the study recommended a new bridge be built, rather than repair the existing bridge or close the road at the river crossing all together. In 2016, the MTO closed the bridge for site investigations and to gather information for the design and by 2017 the bridge design was completed. As part of the initial study, the MTO accepted public input, with the majority of the respondents opposed were not in favour of the bridge’s removal. Of the 53 respondents, only one supported bridge removal. Brent Visscher, a structural engineer with Dillon Consulting, was on hand to tell residents about the design of the new bridge. The major differences between the new bridge and the old bridge will be visually striking.

An artist’s rendering of the new Mississippi River Bridge connecting old Hwy. 17. “It is more open for motorists,” Visscher said. The steel girders run underneath the bridge and it will have no tress. The bridge will also be slightly wider than the original bridge and have wider shoulders. It will still be a three-span bridge and maintain its water navigation height. The bridge will look very similar to the Highway 417 Mississippi bridges just a few hundred metres west. There will be a slight grade increase

as motorists come up to the bridge. “It will all be tied in nicely,” Visscher said. The project will go out to tender this winter. MTO environmental planner Erin Pipe was on hand. While she is concerned with the natural environment, she also deals with issues related to the economic, social and cultural environments. “There are a couple of businesses close to the bridge that are concerned with the lack of traffic,” she said.

Pipe mentioned the owner of Ottawa Valley Canoe and Kayak, Beth Peterson, attended the open house earlier to discuss the matter, and the MTO had already spoken with P38 Energy propane services. “We’re working with them to mitigate their concerns,” Pipe said. Because there is pier work involved in the project, the MTO also works closely with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Ministry of Natural Resources. During the time the West Carleton Review was at the open house, a small contingent from the West Carleton Snowmobile Club was also on hand. The club uses the bridge to cross the Mississippi River. One of the trail groomers says the ice does not get very thick at that part of the river due to the small current underneath and salt spray from the bridge makes the ice thin and unpredictable. As the bridge project has not gone out to tender yet, the MTO was unable to share a budget figure. Either way, West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry was happy to know a new bridge was coming. “I’d be remiss if I didn’t say thank you to Mr. Chiarelli (who serves as Minister of Infrastructure”, he said. “We heard loud and clear, the community wants this bridge.” The province spent the 2017 construction season repaving Highway 17 from the Arnprior border to Antrim — roughly 11 kilometres of road. When the Hwy. 17 improvements are finished in 2019, the province will hand ownership of the road to the City of Ottawa. “The city wouldn’t take the road unless it was paved and the bridge repaired,” El-Chantiry said. “This job was a little too much for Ottawa. I am pleased the province is going to us the road in good shape.” El-Chantiry estimates the total work being done, to be around a $12 to 14 million job. El-Chantiry said, when the government decided not to make a Hwy. 417 exit in Galetta when four-lane expansion work in the area began in 2002, the MTO decided not to make an exit at the Galetta Side Road. El-Chanitry thinks that decision may have saved the Mississippi River Bridge. “With no Galetta exit, getting rid of the bridge would have been troublesome,” he said.

Renfrew County United Way launches new campaign TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

The newest Renfrew County United Way (UW) fundraising campaign is off and running. Well, the kids holding the signs to announce the Celebration of Campaign 2017 launch were, as they helped kick off the campaign in Arnprior on Oct. 5 There were two special reasons the UW was recently in Arnprior; the first was to announce their fundraising goal of $405,000, and the second was to officially present the Arnprior Family Pre-School Resource Centre (AFPRCOntario Early Years) with $6,000 to set up an emergency basic needs fund to support young families. “This campaign is about helping people right here in your community,” said Patricia Lafreniere, UW regional director, to a small group of supporters at the centre. “Renfrew County United Way is alive and funding programs in Renfrew, Arnprior and area. We are 100 per cent local, the money raised in Renfrew County stays in Renfrew County, so please support United Way of Renfrew County so we can help others.” For 2017/2018, UW is funding 12 different organizations in the county including a number of local projects. Locally, some of the projects include $25,000 for Family and Children’s Services of Renfrew County to continue their program to provide safe shelter for youth who are at risk or homeless. The Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre received $25,000 for crisis and mental health

clinics throughout Renfrew County. “In the past five years, Renfrew County United Way launches invested over a million dollars that support people in your community,” said Lafreniere. Two new grant recipients this year are Hospice Renfrew, who received $15,000 for a family grievance counsellor, and the AFPRC emergency fund. “So, we decided to kick off our campaign in the Eastern region of the county here at one of those new programs,” said Lafreniere. “The reason we choose this facility for our launch is we are working here and in your community.” Karina Dewar, program director at the AFPRC, was very thankful for the funding announcement for the new emergency fund. “We are very grateful to help these families and we are very appreciative of the UW funding,” said Dewar. “The emergency fund is for those families who are in crisis and have needs that must be met to sustain a healthy lifestyle.” She explained the funds would be distributed to help families with groceries, medication, diapers, formula and any other item deemed as needed in an emergency. For more information on the emergency fund, contact Dewar at 613-623-8224. Lafreniere also recognized UW workplace partners: Cathi Fairfield with Pillar5 Pharma, Shannon McLaughlin representing New Flyer Industries, and Laurent Ducom of Arnprior Aerospace. “I commend all of you for the hard work you do for your community during the campaign every year,” said Lafreniere. “The Renfrew County

Rotary’s calendar fundraiser offers chance at cash prizes DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The Rotary Club of Arnprior has begun a new fundraising campaign that includes student artwork, cash prizes, and a handy calendar. All for $10. The major fundraising initiative is a Cash Calendar that offers purchasers an opportunity to win prize money totalling $5,000. It begins with an early bird draw of $1.000 on Nov. 25, during the Christmas Craft Fair at Nick Smith Centre. Additional draws will be held monthly, combined with five bonus draws during 2018. Winners will be reentered for future draws. “This is a very attractive lottery

package,” said Bruce Buie of the calendar committee, “with odds of 1 in 1,500, the number of calendars available for sale.” The cash calendar also features artwork and photos by students at Arnprior District High School. The Rotary Club will be directing a portion of the funds raised by the calendar towards a Me To We project in Ecuador next year, in which several local students will be participating. “The cash calendar has been supported by advertisements placed by businesses and services in the area for which we are very grateful.” Rotarians at booths around town, students, and various merchants will all be selling Cash Calendars for the next few months.

ADHS Music expresses gratitude to community for pie fundraiser To the editor:

For over a decade, the Arnprior District High School (ADHS) Music Department has held an apple pie fundraiser the weekend before Thanksgiving. This event has raised close to $50,000 over the years and all thanks to the generous community of Arnprior. Students in our bands and choir pre-sell assembled, unbaked apple

pies in the days before the event. We then receive donations of materials and ingredients from local merchants and buy the rest. On Friday we make dough and on Saturday we create a giant assembly line and ship the pies out the cafeteria window drive-through style. This year we made 720 pies and in our peak hour assembled 152 per hour! There have been some incredibly generous supporters of this event in

our community. In particular, Home Hardware and Giant Tiger have been consistent, friendly and very giving each and every year. Metro and No Frills are also very reliable and generous donors. Many more locations in our community donate whenever called upon. In terms of pie buyers I would like to acknowledge the Arnprior Community Choir and Sandvik. At one time, the cafeteria of Sandvik was purchasing 70 pies per year!

Soon the death toll will rise MICHAEL RUNTZ Nature’s Way

Many people have reported that they are still seeing active insects. Some have said that mosquitoes are still biting. Others have had nasty encounters with yellowjacket wasps. And a few have spotted the occasional Monarch butterfly fluttering by. I’ve been asked if these sightings are unusual for this time of year. My answer was yes, but not unexpected. Usually by now, there has been a hard frost or two and several days of strong northerly winds. But warmer temperatures have prevailed, and most winds have come from the south. These conditions have allowed a number of insects to stay active when normally they would be either dormant or dead. Under freezing conditions, the water in insect bodies turns to ice and the cells rupture, causing death. Praying mantids, walking sticks and many other insects suffer that fate. But prior to death, they did mate and lay eggs. Since the embryos in the eggs carry the parents’ genes, their life was not in vain; genetic immortality is the goal of all living things. But some insects can survive

Michael Runtz

Banded Woolly Bears spend winter as partly frozen caterpillars buried in the leaf litter. sub-zero temperatures through the use of glycerol — an antifreeze that keeps their internal liquids unfrozen (supercooled). When freezing temperatures arrive, female mosquitoes survive while males perish. In early spring, the survivors lay their eggs in shallow water, often in tree boles or shallow pools in

the forest. When the eggs hatch and the larvae complete their cycle, a new generation of biting insects greets us when we enter their domain. Only the newly mated queens of wasps and bumble bees survive freezing temperatures; the rest of their kind die. A few butterflies (and moths) survive winter as adults while most of their relatives do so as pupae or, in the case of Monarchs, as butterflies farther south. Mourning cloaks, commas and Compton tortoiseshells crawl into crevices where they spend winter in an unfrozen state thanks to their antifreeze. In spring, these colourful butterflies are the first to fly in local forests. Some insects overwinter as supercooled larvae while others tolerate the formation of ice inside their bodies in a state known as freeze tolerance. Banded woolly bears, the familiar caterpillars of Isabella moths, hide in leaf litter and partly freeze, only to thaw and crawl when conditions get warmer. The warm temperatures have also inspired birds to sing, although not with the full conviction heard in spring. White-throated sparrows, winter wrens and song sparrows are currently offering recogniz-

worry not. Each fall the photoperiod, the amount of light between dawn and dusk, is similar to that experienced in spring, resulting in a weak rush of hormones that inspires some males to sing. Those feelings quickly vanish when the days further shorten and cold temperatures

prevail. Besides, female birds appear far too clever to be fooled by the photoperiod for they never seem to respond to an unseasonably inspired male! The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca.

Arnprior Canadian Tire wins top garage award DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

When Jerome Taylor was filling out the paperwork to attend this year’s Canadian Tire conference he had no idea. The whole drive to Toronto, he and service manager Pat Bernier had no idea. Even as they walked inside the giant meeting room, after the first set of handshakes with attendees in the know, they had no idea. “By the time the second one was congratulating us, I knew something was up,” Bernier said, laughing. Canada’s Best Garage is an award Canadian Tire gives out each year to two of its 503 stores, a large and small store. Arnprior is the 2017 Best Garage in the small category. “I was surprised and happy to be recognized for the work we’ve done,” said Taylor owner and operator. “They do a hell of a job in the garage.” The winners are chosen based on both quantitative evidence (sales growth, etc.) and qualitative (store events, customer engagement, etc.). According to James Ryan at head office, Arnprior’s garage has demonstrated an “incredible focus” on cus-

We will help you,” he said. “It’s easy to tell someone no. You are having a bad day; you’re tired; it’s easy. But when someone calls us looking for help, I always say yes.” Case in point: the “sick” camper. And he didn’t mean sick in the cool way kids mean it today. He meant broken, busted, and pointing at the junk yard. The beige 1979 propane-powered touring rig seemed on its last trip. “The guy called from Renfrew. I have a feeling other stores told him they can’t help,” Bernier recalled. “It would be a nightmare getting some parts. We didn’t even have the right tools. I had to borrow the tools and

ARNPRIOR'S HISTORIC THEATRE

If you are looking for a coat this winter, look no further. The Opportunity Shop will be having their second annual coat sale in the lower level of the Arnprior library from Nov. 7 — 9. The sale will begin on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and be open on the Nov. 8 and 9 from noon to 8 p.m. Like last year, the community has partnered with the Opportunity Shop to make this sale successful. The Arnprior library has opened their doors for this event once again providing a space which is accessible to all. The River Stone Christian Fellowship has graciously lent their coat racks for this event, Shoppers Drug Mart has offered the use of shopping carts in the moving of the coats and Mr. Andrew Smith’s class at St. Joseph’s Separate School has volunteered to transfer the 250 coats from the shop to the library.

The coats this year are for men and women and are priced to sell (cash only). There will be a wide range of sizes, colours, and styles with many brand names featured. Please note that children’s coats with be on sale at the Opportunity Shop. Along with the variety of coats there will be winter accessories for sale, such as scarves, hats, gloves, and mittens. Also, there will be women’s blazers for sale. The Opportunity Shop will also be having their Everything Christmas sale at the Arnprior library on Thursday, Nov. 30 from noon to 8 p.m. You will be amazed with the selection of items. Don’t miss these two events. You will not only get yourself some great merchandise, but your money will be going to our local hospital and nursing home. A win for everyone.

Officials warn of carfentanil dangers The Renfrew County and District Health Unit, Upper Ottawa Valley OPP, County of Renfrew Paramedic Services and Addictions Treatment Services are warning the public that there is a risk of carfentanil being mixed with other illicit drugs. The Ottawa Police Service drug unit is advising that they have received two Health Canada Certificates of Analysis that confirmed the presence of fentanyl and carfentanil in drugs seized in Ottawa this past summer, originally believed to be heroin. One of the submitted samples was shown to contain carfentanil; the second sample contained both carfentanil and fentanyl. There was no heroin in either sample. “We want to stress that the best way to prevent an overdose from happen-

ing is to not use illicit drugs,” says a health unit press release. Dr. Cushman, acting medical officer of health for the Renfrew County and District Health Unit, urges those struggling with addiction or concerned family members of someone with a substance abuse problem to contact Addictions Treatment Service (ATS) for support at 613-432-9855 or 1-800-265-0197. ATS Services are available throughout Renfrew County and District. For more information about fentanyl and carfentanil, please visit the Ontario Poison Centre page on opioid overdose management. For more information, please visit www.rcdhu.com or call the Renfrew County and District Health Unit info line at 1-800-267-1097 ext. 666.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS!

How to negotiate - and get - a salary increase Salaries in the workplace have long been a hot-button issue for women. The differences in compensation for males and females continues to draw the attention of politicians and gender equality advocates alike. The United States Department of Labor noted that, in 2015, the median weekly earnings for full-time male workers increased by 2.2 percent from the year prior. During that same period, female earnings increased by just 0.8 percent. That latest data marks the third consecutive quarter that the increase in males’ earnings doubled that of females. On average, women who work full-time earn 81.1 cents for every dollar men earn. Women aware of that unfair gap in pay may feel helpless to address it with their bosses out of fear of being seen as unappreciative or selfish. In fact,

WHY SHOP ANYWHERE ELSE?

addressing compensation makes many workers uncomfortable, regardless of their gender. According to a salary survey from PayScale, almost 60 percent of male and female workers do not ask for a raise. Negotiating salary increases requires finesse, timing and being informed. It also requires a certain measure of gumption. Here’s how women can get the pay they deserve. • Time it right. Many workers wait until they’ve become unsatisfied with their jobs to try to negotiate a raise, likely thinking that the higher salary will justify the stress or unhappiness they associate with their work. But workers may find it easier to discuss salary when they are happy and satisfied at work. Employers may sense your enthusiasm, and you’ll be more likely to focus on the positive rather than the negative aspects fueling your

request. • Give yourself a confidence boost. Going into negotiations feeling grateful to accept anything is the wrong tactic. Sell your skills to yourself first before you share them with a boss. Make a list of why you deserve a raise and then back up those points with clear examples. Include past successful projects, your developing skill set, software experience, education, training, and anything else that boosts your résumé. • Know your worth in advance. According to the book “Women Don’t Ask” by authors Linda Babcock and Sara Lashever, women frequently underestimate their worth, often reporting salary expectations between 3 and 32 percent lower than men for the same jobs. Find advertised positions that are similar to yours to determine the mean salary for your job, and re-

quest a salary that’s more in line with the going rate for your position. • Don’t share why you want the raise. When discussing a potential raise, keep it about business and avoid personal reasons. You’re more likely to get the raise if you keep personal reasons (i.e. bills piling up, school expenses, family vacations) out of the mix. Maintain your professionalism during the discussion. Otherwise, you may risk losing your boss’s respect. • Bring convincing materials. Have your “proof ” in writing or in substantiated documents. You’ll need to be as confident as possible and having the right information on hand can help seal the deal. Double- or triple-check your info before the meeting. Negotiating raises can be nervewracking. But women should not hesitate to ask for compensation commensurate with their experience.

Everyone at some point in their lives has suffered loss. It could be in the form of divorce, death, job, health; or even a loss of trust, safely, control or faith. Yet regardless of the type of loss we all experience Grief, which is a normal reaction to loss. However, how we react to and deal with our losses will determine how well we recover. As much as we may try to talk ourselves out of our Grief or let time try to heal it, it doesn’t work. To truly heal and recover from loss we need to complete what is incomplete and that is achieved by a series of small and correct choices made by the griever. To recover from Grief means: • Feeling better; reclaiming your health • Owning your circumstances versus your circumstances owning you • Having fond memories without the pain of regret, remorse or guilt • Knowing that is okay to feel sad and talk about your feelings regardless of what others think • Being able to forgive yourself and others • Being able to talk about your loss in a healthy way • Acquiring new skills on how to deal with loss directly How can unresolved Grief show up in our lives: • Reduced concentration • Changed eating habits • Addictions • Roller coaster of emotional energy • Unhealthy sleeping patterns • Inability to feel joy or happiness You may or may not know that recovering or not recovering from Grief has a tremendous, sometimes life-threatening impact on our overall health and sense of well being. It not only affects our lives but impacts those we love as well. We may be trying to become healthier physically yet find our results are slow or fleeting. This is why it is so important to deal with our unresolved grief if we are going to succeed in our overall emotional and physical health goals. As a Grief Recovery Specialist Gina can offer guidance, support and a safe environment to explore your grief and take you through the steps to recovery.

Flexible work hours improve family life Canadians suffering from the back-to-work blues would be happier if their employers offered a flexible working program, according to the findings in a new study. The research analyzed a flexible workplace program by Telus, called Work Styles. More than 2,000 team members participated in the study and researchers found that mobile and home-based workers reported that their work interfered less with their home lives and that they were less likely look for a new job than their peers who worked in an office. “Mobile and home-based employees maintained their performance, and experienced lower stress and less family/work conflict,” says Alison Konrad, a professor of organizational behaviour at The Ivey Business School, who co-authored the study. “We also found flexible workers to be as equally productive as their in-office counterparts and far less likely to leave the company.” Thanks to new collaboration technologies and the proliferation of smartphones and tab-

lets in the workplace, many employees now have the ability to work from anywhere at any time. However, in order to capitalize on the benefits of transitioning to a flexible work environment, businesses will need more than technology; leaders must be fully committed and adapt their leadership styles. “There needs to be a strong culture of trust between leaders and their employees, and in some cases management styles need to be reshaped,” Konrad explains. “We found that Telus leaders focus less on face time in the office and more on the quality and consistency of deliverables.” The study’s findings arrive as great news for both Canadian employers and employees, as the country’s mobile worker population is set to increase to 73 per cent of the workforce, or roughly 13.3 million mobile workers, by 2016 according to the research firm IDC Canada.

PRODUCTS/SERVICES: We are proud to offer the freshest of foods, a butcher on site to provide cuts of meat to order. I am fortunate to have a wonderful staff who are dedicated to our customers and providing that extra special personalized service. FAVOURITE PART OF THE JOB: I am happiest in seeing happy customers in a community that I love. The interaction with those that I work with and the valued customers in my store are definitely the hilites of my day! WHAT PRODUCT/SERVICE KEEPS PEOPLE COMING BACK FOR MORE?

Fashion is the focal point of life for Melanie Pieschke. In 2014, she started her own accessories line, Bellarose, producing upcycled, hand-made accessories at affordable prices. Her online boutique, at www.joliefolie.ca, offers a never-ending assortment of fashionable items from big named designers, as well as Melanie’s Bellarose Accessory line. The following year, in August 2015, she opened Jolie Folie in Shawville, a boutique that offers women quality, trendy fashions and professional wear at affordable prices. WHAT KEEPS PEOPLE COMING BACK? Attentive service, quality products, and always something new to offer our customers. PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED TO KNOW? People would be surprised to know that Jolie Folie Boutique is not only a store to shop in, but my products are also available to purchase on my website - joliefolie.ca

YEARS IN BUSINESS: Opening its doors on May 17, 2007, Boutique Gwendoline has been serving customers from the Ottawa Valley and beyond for 10 1/2 years. PRODUCTS/SERVICES: Boutique Gwendoline offers casual and special occasion attire for women who like to look good and feel great! From FDJ French Dressing for everyday wear to Joseph Ribkoff and Ursula for Mother of the Bride, we can meet the needs of women for almost every occasion. The majority of our lines are Made in Canada, and my experienced staff and I offer personalized service to each and every customer who enters our door. And because I have a well known addiction to jewelry, we have an extensive selection that will complete your look. FAVOURITE PART OF THE JOB: I love finding new styles and clothing lines that are unique, yet will be timeless. Having customers come in and become excited about what we are offering every season, make all my efforts worthwhile. Plus, the fun we have when trying to find that perfect outfit, is the icing on the cake! WHAT PRODUCT/SERVICE KEEPS PEOPLE COMING BACK FOR MORE? I believe that our personalized service is what people are seeking, and that is becoming scarce these days. We want every customer to feel special and to know that we give honest advice and opinions. We’d rather not make a sale if we can’t find the “right look” for our guest. And we let our clients know that up front - AND if we don’t have it in the store, we will find it and order it for you! We want you to “Enter as a Guest and Leave as a Friend.”

to your work area can save time during meal prep. Another way to save time is to use a slow cooker so meals are cooking during the day while you are at work. Chop vegetables on weekend afternoons or nights and separate ingredients into Ziploc bags or containers so all of the prep work is done ahead of time. Each morning you can simply unload the bags or containers into the slow cooker, turn it on before leaving for work and then the meal will be ready to eat by the time you and your family arrive home at night. Many people associate online shopping with clothing and gadgets, but working moms can now buy groceries for their families online as well. Many grocery stores now offer online shopping and pickup services that allow shoppers to fill up their grocery carts before stepping foot in the store. Simply place your order online and arrange a pickup time and everything will be ready for you when you arrive at the store. This can save you the effort and time spent navigating todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasingly large and busy grocery stores.

I love being a Real Estate Professional!

Working mothers make up a sizable portion of the modern workforce. According to the United States Department of Labor, as of 2015 69.9 percent of mothers with children under the age of 18 were in the labor force. Things are similar in Canada, where Statistics Canada reports single-earner families made up just 27 percent of all couple families with children in 2014, a figure that was 59 percent in 1976. While more and more mothers are returning to work after the birth of their children, that does not mean their responsibilities at home are falling by the wayside. Time-strapped working moms tasked with preparing family meals can embrace some time-saving strategies to make mealtime a little less hectic. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakfast, lunch or dinner, preparing meals for a family can be timeconsuming. When making dinner, keep a plastic shopping bag or bowl on the counter where you can discard scraps such as the skin from onions, fat from chicken and other items that will ultimately end up in the garbage. Discarding all the items into one bag rather than walking back and forth from the garbage

WOMEN IN BUSINESS!

Take a cue from other successful career women Certain traits could help propel successful women to the top of their field

Women had another successful year in 2015. According to the Fortune 500 list, 2015 tied the record set for the highest number of female CEOs in America’s largest companies by revenue. Twenty-four women, including Mary Barra of General Motors, Meg Whitman of Hewlett-Packard and Ginny Rometty of IBM, made the list. Although women make up 45 per cent of the labor force and only 5 per cent head Fortune 500 companies, women are making greater strides than ever before. For example, in 1998, just one woman led a Fortune 500 company, according to Pew Research Center. Certain traits could help propel successful women to the top. Here’s a look at some of the ways female professionals can overcome professional hurdles and make their mark. • Be passionate about what you do. Women who maintain passion about their careers are more likely to overcome any challenges and stand out in the workplace. If your profession is not stoking any passion, explore alternate career opportunities.

• Recognize your strengths. Today’s professionals are less likely than their predecessors to stick with one company or line of work for their entire working lives. But just because you change jobs or career paths does not mean your past experience is useless. Successful women know what they do best, whether it’s public speaking, writing or making sales pitches. Apply those strengths when looking for a new job or career. • Know when to ask for help. Even the most accomplished women have limitations. Asking for help when you need it can help you overcome those limitations. To be good at what you do, you first have to learn from others. Sometimes the smartest way to overcome an obstacle is having several hands on deck to provide a boost. Thinking that the work is better left to you alone could be a mistake. Enlist help when you need it and never hesitate to ask for another perspective. • Make time for exercise. A sluggish body can make for a sluggish mind. Successful people need to be sharp, and exercise can help them maintain their mental focus. According to John J. Ratey, Ph.D., a clinical associate professor of psy-

chiatry at Harvard Medical School, muscles send hormones rushing to the brain where they mix with a substance called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF. BDNF plays a role in brain cell growth and learning. Without it, brains can’t absorb new information or grow and learn. Exercise also helps relieve stress, which can make resolutions easier to see and make tasks less overwhelming. • Go easy on yourself. While many successful people strive for perfection, achieving perfection is unlikely, if not impossible. Successful people often admit to being their own worst critics, but don’t beat yourself up if you endure some trial and error. Mistakes can be a great teacher, so use any you make to your advantage. • Don’t be afraid to take risks. Successful women are not afraid to take risks. Many may have decided they don’t fit a specific mold and want to affect change. However, calculated risks are different from reckless decisions, and it is important to recognize the difference. A calculated risk may involve starting your own business after learning the ropes in a specific field and testing

WOMEN IN BUSINESS! Shattering the glass ceiling 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 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, 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 hin-

ders 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. We should ask ourselves why it is that many women end up in careers with only modest prospects and salaries, out of range of management roles and decision-making posts. Too many companies remain insensitive to the inner conflict many 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.

Ace job interviews when switching careers Millions of people change careers every year. Whereas professionals may have once worked for the same company for the majority, if not the entirety, of their careers, nowadays it’s not uncommon for men and women to change jobs several times before reaching retirement. Changing jobs and changing careers are not necessarily the same thing. Professionals mulling a career change will have to consider a host of factors that men and women looking to change jobs may never have to contemplate. Such factors may include returning to school and lifestyle changes designed to make living on less income more feasible. Professionals changing careers may also need to develop a strategy for handling job interviews. When changing jobs as opposed to careers, professionals can draw attention to their résumés, essentially letting their experience speak for itself. But while experience is often a feather in a job candidate’s cap, professionals changing careers may need to focus more on their futures than their pasts when interviewing for a new career. • Draw attention to those skills that will apply to your new career. All of your experience and skills likely won’t transfer to your new career,

but that does not mean you’re going in with an empty briefcase. Make a list of your most transferable skills, and develop an interview strategy that highlights those skills and explains how they can be applied in both the near future and over the course of your new career. • Use your contacts to your advantage. Even if much of your experience won’t transfer to your new career, your professional network might still be valuable to a prospective employer. The longer you have been working the larger your professional network likely is, so highlight those contacts in your interview and illustrate how you can put them to good use should you be hired. • Showcase how you have adapted in the past. Much of the business world moves at a breakneck pace. That pace has become even faster thanks to advancements in technology that routinely affect how businesses operate. Even if you have never before changed careers, that does not mean you have not adapted to change. Make a list of the changes your employers have instituted throughout your career, highlighting how you adapted to those changes and benefitted from them in their aftermath.

YEARS IN THE BUSINESS: I’ve been a newspaper reporter for eight years, covering a number of unique places, from small town Alberta, to Kanata/Stittsville to Carleton Place/Almonte and now Renfrew. I have learned a lot at each stop along the way and I am happy I have found my home in the Ottawa Valley telling your stories.

YEARS IN BUSINESS: I’ve been telling the stories of the people of the Ottawa Valley for more than 18 years and am very grateful to have learned from a host of talented journalists, including former Renfrew Mercury editor Lucy Hass, who retired from Metroland after 35 years.

Alicia has just celebrated her 3-year anniversary with Metroland at the Renfrew location. “today’s media is in a transition” says Alicia. Digital media is on the forefront of new entrepreneurs’ minds. But print media still has its place, it is a very vital tool to reach a certain age demographic. One thing is certain about glossy magazines and periodicals: They’re yours forever. Hoard them, share them, lend them, or borrow them. They’re subject only to the time limits you set. Sensory experience. Studies show that we retain knowledge and experiences better through physical interaction. In this digital world, social sharing and community. Users increasingly expect to interact with the content they consume. The goal is to draw visitors to your blog for the commenting community and entice them to stay for the articles. Your commenting system should give readers both platform and incentive to respond to and challenge both authors and one another. The result is a robust community of readers and contributors. Ad-serving flexibility. Not only can you serve multiple ads in one advertising space, but also you can employ some of the latest advertising technology, too. Digital advertising enables readers to engage with ads. Leverage that information to grow and maintain readership and attract viable revenue streams through sponsored content and ad revenues. Readership feedback. Tracking user activity isn’t the only way to refine your digital publication. Find out what they’re enjoying, what their pain points are, and frustrations they might have in accessing your material. This is valuable insight that you can use to improve content. Insightful information brought forth on both sides. My suggestion as a multimedia representative to take advantage of both mediums why not capture both audiences and optimize your coverage.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS!

How to make the post-maternity leave transition back to work go The average length of maternity leave varies depending on geography, but the vast majority of new mothers take time away from work upon giving birth. Maternity leave affords women the opportunity to connect with and provide for their babies, while hopefully giving new mothers some time to recover from childbirth as well. When maternity leave ends, the transition back to work can be difficult. New mothers often struggle when the time comes to leave their babies at daycare, with a nanny or with a relative. Adding to that emotional difficulty, women also face the task of diving back into their careers and all the responsibilities that come with those careers.

While returning to work after maternity leave can be difficult, the following tips might help women make the transition go more smoothly. • Give yourself a grace period. Even if you’re accustomed to going full bore at the office, the first days or even weeks after returning from maternity leave will be anything but ordinary. Give yourself a grace period upon returning to work, gradually easing back in rather than expecting to dive right in with both feet on your first day back. Not taking on too much too quickly can help you adjust to your new reality and give you time to cope with any emotions you might be feeling about leaving your child with a caregiver.

• Arrange to work remotely one or two days per week. Another way to reduce the likelihood of being overwhelmed upon returning from maternity leave is to attempt to work remotely one or two days per week. Speak with your employer about making such an arrangement permanent or temporary, explaining how even working from home just a single day per week might help you calm your nerves about dropping a child off with a caregiver. Thanks to the cost savings and advancements in technology, many employers are now more amenable to allowing staffers to work remotely. But new moms won’t know their employers’ point of view on working from home unless they ask.

• Take the full leave. A 2013 study published online in the Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law found a direct link between the length of maternity leave and the risk of postpartum depression. Researchers followed more than 800 women in their first year after giving birth and found that women at six weeks, 12 weeks and six months of maternity leave had lower postpartum depression scores than their peers who returned to work. Postpartum depression can produce a host of unwanted symptoms, including a lack of interest in daily tasks and too little sleep, each of which can affect a mothers’ performance at work. By taking the leave afforded to them by their employers and/or local laws, women may reduce their risk

for postpartum depression, which can make their transitions back to work that much easier. • Take breaks during the day. Frequent, short breaks during the workday can benefit all employees, but especially new mothers returning to work after maternity leave. Returning to work can feel overwhelming, and routine breaks provide mothers with chances to catch their breath. Studies have indicated that such breaks also can reenergize workers, an especially useful benefit for new mothers who are likely not getting as much sleep as they were accustomed to prior to giving birth. Returning from maternity leave can be hard on new mothers, but there are ways to make the transition go smoothly.

CCHL2 weekend games wrap-up TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

The three local Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey league teams managed only two wins last weekend. The first win came on Wednesday, Oct. 11 from the Whitewater Kings who defeated the Brockville Tikis 5-3 on the road. It was a huge first period with both teams combining for five goals, the Kings were up 3-2 after one and added two more in the second with the Tikis only managing one. The third was scoreless. Quinn Vanhoof and Reid Barber both had a pair for the Kings with one more coming from Chris Bourgeau. On Thursday, the Renfrew Timberwolves did not fare any better on the road as the Casselman Vikings 4-2 defeated them. Renfrew’s only goals came in the first period by Andrew McIntyre and Luka Marinic. Friday the 13th proved to be unlucky for both the Wolves and the Arnprior Packers. The Ottawa Canadians easily beat the Wolves 7-3 at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Scoring for Renfrew were: Nych Paquette, Alex Paquette, and Jack Rouleau. Luka Marinic had an unsuccessful penalty shot midway through the second period. The Packers also had trouble on the road as the Westport Rideaus had the upper hand, winning 5-3.

The Packers were held off the score sheet in the first but Colin Baggio, his first of three goals, scored short handed at 1:59 of the second to get the Packers on the board. On Saturday, the powerhouse Perth Blue Wings blew out the Kings at home 5-0. Also on Saturday the Wolves secured their fifth win of the season over the Char-Lan Rebels 6-4. After giving up three goals in the first period the Wolves came out strong in the second, scoring three of their own and holding the Rebels to just one. They added three more in the third. McIntyre had the hat trick for the Wolves, with Marinic adding one; Isaac Perreault and Alex Paquette had the others. On Sunday the Kings fell to the Winchester Hawks 5-3 and the Packers only managed one goal to the Canadians four. It was also recently announced that Kings goalie Darian MacTavish received an honourable mentioned as goaltender of the month. On Oct. 18 the Packers travel to Brockville with an 8 p.m. puck drop; on Thursday, Oct. 19 the Kings host the Emburn Panthers in Cobden at 8 p.m.; the Wolves are on the road Friday night as they travel to face Winchester at 8:15 p.m.; on Oct. 21 the Kings host the Tikis at 7 p.m. in Cobden; and on Sunday the Timberwolves are in Richmond to face the Royals at 1:30 p.m. and the Packers play the Perth Blue Wings at the Nick Smith Centre at 7:30 p.m.

Having a ball

It was a slugfest during the Sept. 23 Kidsport fundraiser at ABBA Diamonds in Arnprior. Riley Hahn hits a single during his Cobras’ game against the Bedrockers and pitcher Jason Carpenter. During this inning the score was 13-12 Cobras. Kidsport provides disadvantaged local youth with an opportunity to play a variety of activities that otherwise they may have skipped because of cost. This year’s tournament raised $2,700.

The large extended family of Singbush’s, Maxwell’s and the Mulligan clan will have great stories of wonderful times. Friends gathered over a lifetime in Mississauga, Waterloo, Sudbury, Georgetown, Port Bruce, Toronto, Vydon Acres, Ottawa and Arnprior can attest to John’s strength of character. John was involved in many innovative banking changes over his thirty-seven years in the financial industry with CIBC. Colleagues span North America and Europe. This disease was a crushing blow, but the support of family, friends and generous neighbours along with the professional care providers helped John and his family immensely. The Dementia Society of Ottawa & Renfrew County, particularly Milton & Caitlin were gentle pillars of knowledge and strength. Dr. Andrew Frank with his staff; Dr. Michael Fishman, caring to the end; the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital staff; the LIHN (CCAC); St. Elizabeth Home Health Care and Bayshore Healthcare were invaluable during this very difficult journey. Our genuine thanks to everyone. John will be interred in the historic Beaverton Stone Church Cemetery in a private service. In the care of the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel, 50 John Street North, Arnprior. Condolences/Donations www.pilonfamily.ca

In loving memory of a dear father, Dennis Isaiah Enright March 20, 1920 – October 20, 2008

Ryan Enright

December 17, 1985 - October 21, 2009 No farewell words were spoken, No time to say good-bye, you were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness, And secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know... Forever in our hearts, Mom and Dad

The blow was great, The shock severe, We little thought the End was near. Only those who have Lost can tell The pain of parting Without farewell. More each day we Miss you, father Friends may think The wound is healed, But they little know, the sorrow That lies within our hearts concealed. Your family Sons, Lorne (Colleen) Darryl (Jean) Grandchildren, Jason Erin, Kristin, Sarah, James and families

Father comes to accept Mother’s attempts to bring the outdoors in Some fall seasons Mother liked more than others. When it got so cold, we had to start wearing our felt slippers after supper, and the frost came early, Mother got a look of despair on her face. Winter wouldn’t be far off, and that would mean snow, ice, and trips into Renfrew only when necessary. It would mean the small panes of glass in the windows would be frosted up, and the trees in the yard, would be as bare as badgers. But that year, fall held off, and the warm days Mother loved, held on. A few bright orange and red leaves still clung to the big maple tree in our backyard, but the ground around formed a soft blanket of vivid colours. Mother loved the fall leaves, and when the warmth of a late summer hung on, she didn’t seem to mind the coming of winter so much. That year Mother went out to the backyard under the maple tree, and choosing very carefully, the most perfectly formed, and the brightest of the coloured leaves, she brought them into the house. She would take a slab of hard wax, which came in sheets of four or six in a box, and melt it on the back of the cook stove. The wax would have been bought for melting and then pouring into the tops of jars of relishes, pickles, jams and jellies to prevent mould from forming. The pot stayed on the reservoir to keep it from reforming into a hard mass. All the leaves Mother had picked so carefully from the backyard were perfectly formed and with their stems still attached.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

They would be gently placed on a tea towel on the bake table, in order of size. I could watch, but I couldn’t touch a leaf in case it would break. This was a job for Mother alone. Bringing the pot of melted wax to the bake table, very carefully she would gently take one leaf at a time and dip it into the melted wax. Then each waxed leaf was put on a spread-out copy of the Renfrew Mercury, where it sat until the wax had hardened to Mother’s liking. The leaves would be used to decorate the centre of our dinner table, bringing what Mother thought was a touch of colour to an otherwise drab and ordinary place for our meals. When she first waxed fallen leaves a few years back, Father thought it was a waste of time, and made the comment, “We burn those, you know.” But that didn’t stop Mother from doing what she did every year when fall came. Of course, the leaves would be lost on the old red and white checked oilcloth, worn at the corners. And heaven forbid that our one and only white linen tablecloth used only for special occasions and when company came, be brought out of the trunk in the

upstairs hall. And so, Mother would take two white flour bag sheets and overlap them on our old pine table, covering the checked tablecloth completely. And in the centre she would carefully arrange the waxed maple leaves ... the larger ones in the middle and the smaller ones fanned out around them. And I would think how clever was my

mother! And I would wait for Father’s reaction the first time the table was decorated. He saw them, all right. But it looked like he finally accepted what Mother did in the kitchen, and what she did to the table was up to her, and he actually had a bit of smile on his face. I knew, after several days of the leaves being on the table, and with the heat of the Findlay Oval, having an effect on them, the leaves would start to curl at their edges. And it was then I knew that Father had finally accepted Mother’s idea of bringing a bit of the outdoors inside. Because he took the salt and pepper shakers, and very carefully placed them on the very edges of the leaves that were starting to curl, to keep them in shape a bit longer. Not another word was said about burning leaves. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Nu-Tech Precision Metals makes donation to fire department The Town of Arnprior and the Arnprior Fire Department would like to thank Nu-Tech Precision Metals for their generous donation of $7,500 to the fire department. Nu-Tech’s donation was used to purchase a fire extinguisher training system which will enable further educa-

tion throughout the community. The Arnprior Fire Department provides over 200 fire extinguisher training sessions per year. Historically, fire prevention officers would use a mixture of gas and diesel fuel in a pan for the training, which was smoky and challenging to

use. In addition, those being trained would have to pay to get their extinguishers refilled after the training. The new extinguisher training system uses clean-burning propane, which does not produce smoke, and an easy to fill refillable extinguisher. This new training system eliminates the cost and clean up previously associated with carbon dioxide gas and dry chemical extinguishers.

Fire Chief Jeff Crawford says, “On behalf of the Arnprior Fire Department, we would like to thank Mike Poirier and Nu-Tech Precision Metals for their very generous donation.” If you would like to book a fire extinguisher training session for your organization or group, please contact the fire department at 613-6234231 ext. 1837. This service is offered free of charge.

Representatives from Ontario’s 21 universities will be at Arnprior District High School (ADHS) on Monday, Oct. 23 from 6:15 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for the University Information Program (UIP). This free event offers high school students from the surrounding area, as well as their parents, the opportunity to speak in-person with multiple university representatives. Any high school students in the area are welcome to attend, regardless of which school board their school belongs to. The UIP offers students who are considering an Ontario university the opportunity to learn more about admission requirements, scholarships, residence, the application process, campus life and much more. The event is designed to assist graduating high school students in making an informed decision before they apply to university in January 2018. The event also aims to help younger students with high school course selections in order to guide them toward future university programs. Students and their parents will have the opportunity to learn more about Ontario’s 21 universities in either a fair or presentation-style format, where they can visit each Ontario uni-

versity representative individually. Students who are interested in attending are encouraged to confirm the UIP schedule in their area with their guidance office. The UIP is hosted exclusively by Ontario universities. Each university participates in joint visits to high schools across the province each fall. Each UIP event is organized by the University Information Program Working Group, with oversight from the Standing Committee on Student Recruitment and the Ontario University Registrars’ Association.

The Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) Auxiliary is once again making a difference in patient care. They recently brought in a cheque of $90,000 to be used to purchase a new portable X-ray unit. The current X-ray unit, pictured, has been in operation for 23 years. This past year, it was used 237 times in the hospital with 194 chests X-rays being done, primarily in the emergency department. With the new equipment, the clinician is able to view the images on the machine and make adjustments as needed. The portable X-ray is also used on the inpatient unit when a patient is unable to be transported to diagnostic imaging. The ARH Auxiliary is volunteer-based and runs the Opportunity Shop, the Gift Shop at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital, and the HELPP lottery. From left are Vicki Hallas (manager, diagnostic imaging), Cheryl Pulcine, Susan Gillan, Pat Titterton, Teresa Thom (manager Opportunity Shop), Bernice O’Connor, and Brent Schultz (medical radiation technologist).
