Twice the issue of allowing off-road vehicles (ORV) on Arnprior streets has come before town council and twice it has generated a rift among colleagues. A bylaw limiting the roads ORV can use, along with other regulations, was proposed at a recent meeting by town clerk Maureen.COM Spratt after council called for one.CA in early summer. Because a linked trail system is in place between Smiths Falls and Mattawa, councils throughout the region are examining the issue.

No off-road vehicles will be allowed in downtown core Continued from page 2
But it remains unclear if regional or local governments have the final say. That aside, the proposed bylaw included the following suggestions: • ORV are permitted in order to access an approved trail; • No permission in the downtown core, including John and Ottawa streets; • No permission on provincial or county highways; • No permission on private roads and main highways except where necessary to access a trail; • Use of county-owned Madawaska Boulevard and Street, Elgin Street, Daniel Street, White Lake Road, Baskin Drive, and Division Street shall be allowed if the municipality asks the regional government. Council debated the last point. Some, such as councillors Lynn Grinstead and Frank Du-
gal, vehemently oppose seeing ORV on Daniel and Madawaska. They would prefer not to allow them anywhere, saying Arnprior is an urban community, but seem prepared to accept limited use on the outskirts. Others, notably Reeve Walter Stack and Coun. Tom Burnette, were much more welcoming of ORV. All agreed they should be permitted on Baskin and Division, and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (or 11 p.m., said Burnette), or from dawn to dusk. And the maximum speed limit should be 20 kilometres per hour. No three-wheelers will be allowed. Dugal doubts bylaw officers or police will be able to stop ORV from traveling on any road they choose. Mayor David Reid said if drivers don’t obey the future bylaw, it can be repealed. If the economic benefits to area businesses – hotels, repair shops, restaurants - are less than the hassles or safety of other users such as pedestrians, things could revert to the current

situation. “This is a privilege, and if we see a lot of problems it could be taken away,” he said. “This is not about going to houses to visit. It is access to services and the trail.” Town hall has heard from a few opponents, but none who favour it. Coun. Ted Strike said staff should talk to municipalities such as Tweed, Renfrew, and Mattawa about their experiences. Council decided that no bylaw would pass until after the county allows ORV on the trail through its jurisdictions. County Warden Peter
Emon has concerns with allowing them in Renfrew County, but it is unclear if they could be stopped. The three jurisdictions involved have signalled their intention to link the trail from Smith Falls to Mattawa. Could Renfrew opt out? The bylaw was deferred until after the county hosts a open meeting on the topic Nov. 1, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the Catholic Parish Hall, 285 Albert St. The meeting is considered an “information session” not a gathering to determine public will.
Leave the Phone Alone launches The Renfrew County Partners Against Distracted Driving Committee has been successful in obtaining a Ministry of Transportation Road Safety Community Partnership Program grant to facilitate a campaign to address the dangers of distracted driving. This grant, in addition to contributions from community partners and some municipalities will fund a county- wide community education program called Leave the Phone Alone. Distracted driving is a major safety concern and has now surpassed impaired driving as the leading cause of motor vehicle collisions that cause fatalities.
RE/MAX HALLMARK REALTY LTD., BROKERAGE
The grant will fund an interactive computer simulator presentation to all 2,000 Grade 11 and 12 students for all 11 Renfrew County High Schools, focused education to all Grade 4 and 5 students in Renfrew County Elementary Schools and a community outreach program targeted at the public. The Renfrew County Partners Against Distracted Driving Committee consists of members that represent the Ontario Provincial Police, Community Policing Advisory Committees, Police Service Boards and Renfrew County and District Health Unit.

Police lay charges in April highway fatality Staff
After months of investigation, police have laid charges in a Highway 17 collision near Arnprior that killed one construction worker and injured another. Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say a 70-year-old Addington Highlands Township man has been charged with careless driving in the April 25 collision that killed 42-year-old William Milton of Addington Highlands Township. The driver will appear in Renfrew court on Oct. 21. “OPP officers responded to the collision at 11:42 a.m. Preliminary investigation showed a black 2010 Jeep Patriot was travelling westbound on Highway 17,” says an OPP press release. “Two construction vehicles were parked on the south
shoulder of the Highway facing east. The first was a white 2004 Intel 94 with an attached trailer and a hydraulic drill and compressor. The second construction vehicle was a white 2008 Chevrolet Express van.” The two construction workers were out working on the shoulder of the highway in the vicinity of the drill, say police. The Jeep crossed the centre line and struck the two workers and both construction vehicles. Milton suffered fatal injuries and the other worker suffered serious injuries and was transported by paramedics to hospital. The male driver and female passenger in the Jeep were transported by paramedics to hospital with minor injuries. Provincial Const. Helen Paterson led the investigation and the highway was closed for several hours.

March 2016 Budget commitment to distribute unallocated infrastructure funds through the federal gas tax will not be honoured. LOCAL ISSUES
During the general, roundtable discussion, the following points were raised: • The federal government needs to push the province on economic development, which is not happening in our area. • It is hard to get economic growth. We need jobs. Youth are leaving to find jobs elsewhere. They are our future. • Individual councils lack the resources and the expertise to advance economic development. • There are still gaps in broadband coverage, cell and internet connectivity. • There is a crisis with critical infrastructure. • There is a lack of funding for lifecycle costs. • The tax basis is declining. Incomes are stagnant. • Municipalities do not want to waste taxpayers’ dollars to make an infrastructure project shovel-ready, unless there is a firm commitment for funding. • Smaller municipalities with fewer staff need more time when funding application deadlines are announced to meet those deadlines. • 78 per cent of the property tax base in Renfrew County is residential. Homeowners can only absorb so many property tax increases. • Municipalities like the way the Federal gas tax is now distributed. They do not want changes. The lottery system of funding distribution is stacked against small town and rural municipalities. Predictable funding is necessary.

Town of Arnprior seeks public input for Waterfront Issues and Options Analysis The Town of Arnprior has officially begun an analysis of the town’s waterfront to identify ways of enhancing a very valuable local asset – the shores of the Madawaska and Ottawa rivers. The town will host two interactive booths to help gather public input and ideas. The purpose of the analysis is to consider options for the best mix of land uses and activities in order to create a vibrant and active waterfront. The analysis will also consider opportunities with respect to the nature and scope of investments which could contribute to the revitalization of the waterfront. The Waterfront Issues and Options Analysis will also provide a strategic direction and action plan to ensure successful next steps. The analysis area includes both shores of the Madawaska River and the Ottawa River along to Gillies Grove. “The Town of Arnprior is known as the town ‘Where the Rivers Meet.’ As we move forward on the completion of our downtown revitalization project is vital that we turn our minds now towards capitalizing on our greatest natural heritage asset, our waterfront.
This analysis is the critical first step in developing a successful strategy and planning for the future of our waterfront,” said Mayor David Reid. A crucial part in the success of Waterfront Issues and Options Analysis will be seeking resident, business and visitor participation, ideas and comments. The analysis’ outreach program includes hosting two interactive booths this month. The first will be held at the Nick Smith Centre on Friday, Oct. 21 from 5-8 p.m., and the second will be at the Arnprior Public Library on Saturday, Oct. 22 from noon to 5 p.m. Interested parties are also encouraged to participate through an online survey which will be available from Oct. 14–Nov. 11 at www.arnprior.ca/woa . In addition to town residents, boaters, community associations, sport and recreational groups will be contacted to seek their input. The outcome of the analysis is expected to be presented to town council in early spring 2017.

Renfrew County to host information sessions for new trail in Arnprior on Nov. 1
flyers. coupons. deals. cash back.
The County of Renfrew has scheduled six open houses to engage, inform and seek input from County residents on the proposed future use of the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (formerly known as the CP Rail Line). There are two meetings scheduled in this area: Tuesday, Oct. 25 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Bonnechere Manor Auditorium, 470 Albert St., Renfrew Ontario and on Tuesday, Nov. 1 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at St. John Chrsysostom Knights of Columbus Hall, 285 Albert St., in Arnprior. Renfrew County, Lanark County and the Township of Papineau-Cameron formed a partnership in 2011 and recently signed a lease and donation agreements to acquire ownership of the 296-kilometre abandoned
Canadian Pacific Rail between Smiths Falls and Mattawa. The county’s portion of the corridor runs from the Arnprior/Ottawa border in the south to the Renfrew/Mattawa border in the North. The intent is to work with local municipalities, the public and other partners to develop the multi-use trail. The County of Renfrew extends an invitation to the public and the media to attend the open house sessions and we would be happy to answer your questions and listen to your feedback. For more information contact us at OVRT@countyofrenfrew.on.ca. Please note that all comments and submissions received will become part of the public record.

The former Ken’s Kitchen in downtown Arnprior will become a parking lot as early as this fall. Town council agreed to have Cavanagh Construction – who is overseeing the downtown revitalization project – raze the building for about 24-spots at the corner of John and McGonigal streets.
The land is contaminated, making it difficult to sell due to the high cost of obtaining an environmental assessment and cleanup. It will be called the Ken Scissons parking lot in memory of the popular community builder who died in 2013 not long after his house burned. “I think it’s the right way to get it done,” Mayor David Reid said of awarding Cavanagh the contract. “It’ll blend in nicely,” the mayor added.

Nominations sought for warden’s service awards, deadline is Nov. 9 The County of Renfrew Warden’s Community Service Awards are a meaningful way to recognize and thank an individual, not-for-profit business and for-profit business for their contributions to their communities. The annual award program started last year is now accepting nominations from around the county. Individuals step up in many ways to improve and strengthen the quality of life enjoyed in the Ottawa Valley, doing such things as participating in and organizing community events, devoting their time and energy to politics, supporting social support organizations, coaching and managing sports clubs and teams, and celebrating culture and heritage. For-profit businesses are significant contributors to community well-
being. Many sponsor sports teams and youth groups, support charity events and contribute to the arts and culture. The warden’s award is an opportunity to have these valuable corporate citizens recognized and acknowledged for their good deeds. Not-for-profit business organizations in Renfrew County contribute to and assist community members facing a wide range of challenges, often offering services and support to those most in need. “These awards recognize and promote the outstanding efforts by community champions in Renfrew County for their active roles with social responsibility and community contributions,” said Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon. “I look forward to publically acknowledging the excellence of these
organizations and individuals for their efforts to making Renfrew County a better place to live, work and play.” Each year, a selection review committee comprised of the warden, CAO and a member of county council select the award recipients. All nominees are considered on the basis of criteria as to how they contribute to the county’s quality of life. For more information on nominating a for-profit business, notfor-profit business or individual for a Community Service Award, visit www.countyofrenfrew.on.ca or call 613-735-2081 to have nomination documents faxed or mailed to you. Deadline for submission is Wednesday, Nov. 9. Awards will be presented at the county council meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 30.

Salute small businesses Small and medium-sized businesses are the lifeblood of a small town’s economy. Small Business Week runs from Oct. 16 to 22, providing us a chance to pay homage to the individuals who work so hard to bring us a wide variety of products and services, close to home. Small and medium-sized businesses contribute more than half of Canada’s gross domestic product, says the Business Development Bank of Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau paid tribute to these businesses in a recent press release. “In Canada there are over 1.16 million small and medium sized businesses. These businesses account for 99 per cent of all firms, and employ over 90 per cent of the labour force in the private sector. They are anything but ‘small’ in terms of their contribution to Canada’s economic growth, job creation, and innovation,� he said. It’s important not only to support these businesses with our patronage but to ensure the right support and infrastructure is in place to facilitate their growth and sustainability. Major street projects in both Renfrew and Arnprior are wrapping up.
Kudos to local business owners for their patience and understanding through the roller coaster ride of construction. And hats off to those customers who braved the detours and dust and remained faithful to the mom and pop shops that often provide a friendly conversation and update on local goings on with their tried and true product or service. In this week’s paper, we pay tribute to women in business. Business careers and success were at one time almost exclusively male dominated. Female executives and entrepreneurs have worked hard for decades to pave the way for future generations and now, we see pages and pages filled with the accomplishments of countless successful businesswomen. “Small Business Week is important for many reasons,� said Trudeau. “It allows Canadians to thank small business owners and entrepreneurs for their enormous contributions to our country’s prosperity. It is also a chance for current and future small business owners to participate in events across the country to learn, network, and share ideas about making their businesses as innovative, export-ready, and successful as possible.�
Serious concerns about proposed acquisition of CP right-of-way To the editor:
Further to the concerns expressed by Dana Miller in the Sept. 22 issue regarding the existing CN Trail, with all of the financial woes being experienced by Renfrew County, the municipalities and the public in general we deserve better fiscal responsibility with expenditures of our money! This is an open letter requesting clarification from Renfrew County officials regarding serious concerns surrounding the proposed acquisition of the abandoned CP right-ofway: 1) How much money to date has been spent on this project (please include not only payments to CP and

How would this trail prove different? 4) Is the county prepared for the excessive additional costs that will come if this direction continues? Namely – a) additional OPP police costs to address break-ins, trespass, etc.; b) Legal fees due to lawsuits brought on by quiet title suits, tort suits (trespass, nuisance); c) loss of

The Prescott-Russell trail of 72 km latest maintenance expenditure was $400,000. (A 296 km trail at this cost would total $1,644,444). A recent (2015) matching government grant to Renfrew County’s K&P trail gave total $40,000 for the 21 km trail (the proposed 296 km trail at this cost would total $563,809.50). 6) Regarding insurance: a) does the county plan to include all of the

Old boys club alive and well in M/B To the editor:
Re: Lifting of publication ban in sexual assault case reveals political connections, Oct. 6 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide. It’s interesting how the only councillor that has a thoughtful, compassionate response is female.
And Mark McKenzie takes objection to the CBC implying that this is a rural problem is not “prejudicial”, it is fact. In 2014, the rate of family violence against seniors living in urban areas (Census Metropolitan Areas, or CMAs) was 51.1 per 100,000 seniors.
The rate outside CMAs was one-anda-half times as much, or 75.3. (Statistics Canada). These responses only further demonstrate that the “old boys club” is alive and well in McNab/Braeside. Linda Ecclestone
Wood chips or sand: which makes for a safer playground? To the editor:
I researched the risks of woodchip surfaces in our town’s playground area. Specifically the Robert Simpson Park play structure and the Atkinson Street Park play structure. This is what I found: “TORONTO – Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and York University have found that using granite sand as playground surfacing reduced the risk of arm fractures, compared to frequently-used wood-chip surfaces.” “The study showed the risk of an arm fracture from a fall off playground equipment was 4.9 times higher on a wood-chip surface compared to sand. “Risks of other types of injuries were also higher on wood-chip surfaces.”

Dr. Andrew Howard : “Howard explains that there were fewer fractures on sand because this material has a lower friction surface and allows the hand to slide or sink limiting bending and preventing a fracture.” Adding to Howard’s findings, wood-chip splinters cause infections, provides a nest for rats, mice and snakes to live. Wood-chips rot creating fungus and mold – Sand does not. I want to see our park playground surfaces return back to using sand beneath the play structures. Wood chips or sand?

This should be no surprise to Ottawa Valley residents who are all too familiar with the close political party relationship between Ottawa and Toronto. Federal Agency Measurement Canada is preparing to finalize approval for “pre-pay” hydro meters. This was only a matter of time since the province installed so-called “smart meters”in people’s homes. The announcement by the Federal Government that the designation of “provisional” specification to a“full”specification follows a public mandate letter recently sent by the Toronto Liberal leader to her Minister of Finance bragging about the Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP) being part of the federal budget. What I predicted before the last election is now happening. I predicted that all Canadian taxpayers would end up with part of the bill for Ontario Liberals’policy disasters. It was predictable because the same policy advisers in Queen’s Park, who wrote the “Greed” Energy Act and fledToronto, are now hiding in Ottawa as the most senior advisers of the federal Liberal Party. The cozy relationship between the Prime Minister and the Ontario premier is bad for all taxpayers, just as I warned Canadians before the last election. Implied Consent Pre-payment meters were given provisional approval before the liberal“Greed”Energy and Employment Act had raised electricity prices. Hydro One had not been sold, nor had the “smart meter” electricity scandal cost electricity consumers over a billion dollars. On the basis of no comments or requests from the public or industry back then, the federal government has assumed “implied consent,” which in their way of thinking gives approval to move full speed ahead. To picture a pre-payment electricity meter, just think of a parking meter that you load with money in order to park a vehicle. These are popular in thirdworld countries, particularly where poor people have no access to credit. They enable the power utilities to deny access to a basic necessity without actually having to pull the plug if customers have trouble with bills. It forces the poor household to self-disconnect. Energy poverty, defined as households that spend more than 10 percent of their income on home energy, affects about one million households in Canada. In Ontario, the lowest income group spends on average 12 or more percent of their income on utilities, while the average Ontarian spends only 4 per cent. Energy poverty is prevalent among certain types of households, including those with single residents, seniors, children or young adults, renters, and those with a female primary bill-payer. Low-income families and individuals are being forced to choose between heating their homes, buying groceries or paying the rent as the result of increasing utility prices. For many, it is literally a choice between eating and heating. The vast majority of Canada’s seniors (as well as low-income families) live in older houses, with inadequate insulation in attics, walls and basements. For young families just starting out, while these houses may offer cheaper than-average rent or require lower down payments than more efficient homes, their upkeep is costlier, particularly when forced to use electric heat in Ontario. Climate change policies raise energy costs. As a rule of thumb, the more the increase in fuel poverty, the greater the rhetoric about “climate change”. Canada had been following a smart policy to lower emissions. With the change in Ottawa and no one to moderate the extremists in Toronto, energy poverty is the new norm. Canadians still have an opportunity to withhold their “implied consent” to poverty meters. While the federal government has set a January 1st 2017 implementation date for its new policy, you are invited to provide me your thoughts on pre-payment electricity meters. Remember, ‘no comment’ is considered by this government to be a “yes.”The federal government deadline for submissions is October 30, 2016.

Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, employment, international trade, government accountability, CNL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you!

New rink boards, ball diamond approved for McNab-Braeside John Carter john.carter@metroland.com
New rink boards will be installed at White Lake Park in time for hockey season. McNab-Braeside council approved the $84,820 project at its Sept. 20 meeting. Athletica Sports Systems will supply and install the new boards. The project will be funded from funds allocated in the 2016 township budget, $30,000 from recreation reserves and $10,000 from a Hydro One grant. The reserve money is needed to pay for the design work and installation of concrete curbs that serve as an anchoring system for the new boards. Treasurer Angela Lochtie told council was told that the $30,000
from reserves is available because expected replacement of play structures hasn’t happened. Council can replenish the reserves in time for when the play structure need replacing, she said. The rink board project was originally estimated to cost $60,000 but the fluctuating U.S. exchange rate and rising installation costs because of the need for the concrete curbs boosted the price. The township received two quotes on the project, with Athletica’s being the lowest by about $2,000 McNab-Braeside council has awarded a $93,755 contract to R.G.T. Clouthier Construction to build a new ball diamond at McNab Centre Park. In total, the project is expected to cost about $120,000, of which
one-third or $40,000 will come from a successful Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program grant. The rest of the money will come from the sale of township land to the Ministry of Transportation for the proposed cloverleaf at Highway 17 and Calabogie Road. The new diamond replaces a ball diamond that is being lost to the highway expansion. Clouthier will complete the site and field preparation, do the seeding, place the infield soil, and install the backstop and fencing. The rest of the money will pay for player benches/dugouts, bleachers and signage. There were four bids ranging up to $175,050, with Clouthier’s the lowest by about $4,500.
For vultures, flying is effortless With the changing of seasons comes the changing of birds. Chipping Sparrows of summer have been replaced by White-crowned Sparrows from the north. American Robins probing for worms have been replaced by Dark-eyed Juncos scratching for seeds. Most of our summer birds have left for the south, and although a few Turkey Vultures continue to survey highways for road-killed meals, the majority have already left. But unlike sparrows that migrate under the cover of night, vultures move south during the day. Two aspects of vulture migration are noteworthy. One is that although they leave our area individually or in small groups, once they reach the Great Lakes, they build up in numbers as they wait for conditions to be favourable for crossing large bodies of water. Those conditions were met Thanksgiving weekend. I was in the Picton area so I visited the southeast corner of Prince Edward County. The county is fabulous for bird migration, at times rivalling more famous migration points such as Point Pelee. Not only is it a terrific place to see migrating songbirds, it is also an excellent place to observe migrating hawks and vultures. That weekend winds came from the north and temperatures plunged to near freezing overnight. These conditions turned out to be ideal for the migration of vultures. After the sun warmed the air, hundreds of

vultures and dozens of Red-tailed and other hawks could be seen soaring over the southwest corner of the county. They would rise up on warm columns of air known as thermals, and then glide down to the next one on which they would again soar up. As they drifted from thermal to thermal in a process known as ‘thermal hopping,’ they slowly moved across the sky from west to east. The sight of hundreds of these huge birds slowly pirouetting across the sky was mesmerizing. On Monday I visited the southeastern part of the county, arriving there shortly after sunrise. To my surprise, hundreds of vultures were already in the air, soaring just above the treetops as they drifted to find thermals. Within a couple of hours, nearly a thousand vultures filled the sky, moving in rotating circles as they rose higher and higher, heading toward Lake Ontario. Soon they began drifting across the lake towards the United States where they would continue their journey south. A second noteworthy aspect of their journey is that it will be completed with scarcely a beat of their wings. Build just like our gliders, vultures have huge wings in relation to their body size. And by soaring with their wings held in a V, and teetering back and forth, vultures exploit even the slightest lift (the upward force that defeats gravity) provided by air currents.
Dr. Melanie Bolton
Dr. Graeme Ferguson
MICHAEL RUNTZ
Vultures can fly with very little flapping because their long wings are built for soaring, and their wingtips open like fingers, providing additional lift. Another feature provides additional lift. The end of their wings open like fingers because those feathers suddenly narrow near their tips. When they are spread apart, large gaps appear between them. Those gaps allow air to flow over each “finger,” which act like little wings in
creating more lift. To some, vultures are downright ugly birds. But when they take to the air during their migration, nothing is more beautiful to watch. The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca .

Arnprior Rotary Club recognizes World Polio Day Oct. 24 Arnprior Rotary Club
What do Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Donald Sutherland have in common? They’re all Canadians who were struck by the polio virus as children in the 1950s. Canada was finally certified polio-free in 1994, but we’re still at risk since polio still remains in the world. Polio is a highly infectious virus that can cause irreversible paralysis in one in 200 infections within hours of infection. Children under five are most at risk. There were severe outbreaks in Canada from 1949-1954, resulting in 11,000 Canadians paralyzed to some degree. A safe injected vaccine was developed in the early 1950s by Joseph Salk, with the first major immunization programs starting in 1955. This was replaced by Albert Sabin’s oral vaccine in 1962 due to its ease of administration and lower cost. Rotary International got involved in 1979 when a pilot project was run to supply and deliver Polio vaccine to more than six million children in the Philippines. Smallpox was declared eliminated in 1980, which gave hope for the possibility of eliminating a second globally devastating disease. In 1985, Rotary International launched the PolioPlus program to fund the first and largest private-sector support of a public health initiative. The initial pledge was for $120 million US. To date, Rotarians around the world have raised an amazing $1.5 billion, along with donating all the volunteer hours required to help immunize 2.5 billion children in 122 countries. In 1988, the goal of the worldwide eradication of polio was declared by national governments, WHO (World Health Organization), Rotary International, and UNICEF, among others.
The number of cases of polio worldwide has dropped from 350,000 in 1988 to only 74 cases in 2015, with cases only in the war-torn border regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Nigeria, which was almost at the end of the three-year process of being declared polio-free, suffered two cases in August, 2016. The challenge is that as long as a single child remains infected, children in all countries are at risk of contracting polio. Failure to eradicate polio from these last remaining strongholds could result in as many as 200 000 new cases every year, within 10 years, all over the world. In 2013, travellers carried polio from Nigeria to polio-free Somalia and Kenya, emphasizing the need for continued vaccination and monitoring. A final end game push for 2019 requires $3.9 billion US globally for detection, immunization and certification requirements. To eliminate polio, polio vaccine must continue to be administered to children worldwide. In Canada, our children still get the polio vaccine as part of the infant vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, and meningitis. Rotary International continues to fund polio eradication. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have joined us to match every $1 we raise by $2 from their foundation. The PolioPlus program is a part of the Rotary International Foundation. In September 2016, the Charity Navigator, which independently rates charities in the U.S. for financial health and accountability, gave the Rotary Foundation a top mark of 100 out of 100 – an honour shared by only nine other international charities. The Rotary Club of Arnprior’s charitable foundation has been active in the collection of funds and the issuing of tax receipts for the Po-
lioPlus campaign since the early 1990s, having contributed more than $30,000 in addition to personal donations. Contact rotarian Gerhard at g.peters@eagleair.ca for information. For as little as 60 cents US worth of vaccine, a child can be protected for life. On Oct. 24, Rotarians around the world celebrate World Polio Day.

Wardens and mayors meet with premier
Songwriter workshop
DEREK DUNN/METROLAND
Before departing for an extensive tour in continental Europe, Ottawa musician Amanda Rheaume performed and gave a songwriting workshop at Main Street School of Music in Arnprior. She won a 2014 Canadian Folk Music Award for Aboriginal Songwriter of the Year. Her latest album is called Holding Patterns.
Members of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) and the Eastern Ontario Mayors’ Caucus (EOMC) met with the Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario, in Kingston on Wednesday, Oct. 12 to discuss key issues and concerns for Eastern Ontario. The face-to-face meeting with the region’s representatives was held at the request of Premier Wynne, who was in the City in Kingston to address the Chamber of Commerce. Peter Emon, chair of the EOWC and Warden of Renfrew County, moderated the discussion with the Premier. “This was an important opportunity for the EOWC and the EOMC to speak directly to the premier about the situation here in Eastern Ontario facing our communities, our residents and our businesses,” stated Emon. “We certainly appreciated the premier’s invitation to talk to her about some of our key issues and projects.” Emon called it an open and frank discussion. “The wardens and mayors spoke about the need for further, real relief to the high costs of electricity for our residents, particularly those who have low or limited incomes. These residents simply can’t manage the financial burden caused by these soaring rates,” said Emon. The mayor of Kingston informed her on some of the issues affecting the area. “We informed the premier that there were a number of specific issues and projects that her government should consider to help drive our local economies forward as well as several issues the government should take action on – all of which help municipalities control their operating costs going forward,” said Bryan Paterson, chair of the EOMC and Mayor of the City of Kingston. “Our group conveyed the importance of making our citizens and business owners feel included in the province’s current agenda. For example, investments in road systems and energy infrastructure are just as important to smaller communities across eastern Ontario, as funding for public transit is to the major urban centres,” added Emon.

Principals from Arnprior, Norway enjoy exchange Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Canadian schools have a more top-down power structure but are also more inclusive of diversity, according to a principal visiting Arnprior District High School. Robert Flataas spent a week at the school recently as part of a program run by the Ontario Principal’s Council. He stayed with ADHS vice principal Angie McGrath who guided him around the school, accompanied him to meetings in Ottawa, and showed him some Canadian culture – including poutine and a Sens home game against Boston. However, Flataas could be mistaken as a native of Arnprior. He bumped into someone on the football field who lives two hours away from his home. And the former military member almost thought twice about the chance to participate in the exchange program, for good reason. “It is right in the middle of moose hunting season!” he said with a laugh from McGrath’s office. “No – but the purpose is to grow professionally through innovative pedagogy. We want to (share best practices) to better teach students.” The compare and contrast exercise revealed a number of insights. He said teachers in Ottawa and Arnprior tend toward a more formal persona around students. Dress is business casual, they often expect to be referred to as Mr. or Ms., and relationships are kept as a mentorprotégé. In Norway, more emphasis is placed on producing a productive relationship. Teachers dress informally in jeans or even youthful styles. They go by given names, and are even close to being friends with students. “Teachers are very comfortable with students. We are at the same level,” he said. “It is not a threat.” McGrath appeared to have difficulty swallowing the concept, but admitted that North
American educators are gaining a better understanding that relationship building is crucial, and that respect is not always to be assumed. With student anxiety at an all time high, and coping mechanisms often lacking, she said today’s teacher wants to instill confidence. “We are not always about punitive,” she said. “We want students to feel safe and valued. We have a passion to help students succeed.” On both sides of the Atlantic, peer-to-peer learning is a growing trend. Smartboards and other technologies are finding a place in schools. But in Norway, they don’t make effective enough use of them. “We have lots of computers everywhere, but we are not using them the right way,” Flatass said. The Norwegian was surprised to see how open and celebratory students are of differences. He noticed teachers, too, encourage student individuality. Also when it comes to special needs students, of which Norway has fewer, Canada allocates more resources and has a local program that greatly interests him. A classroom at ADHS simulates an apartment. Students learn all the basics of life on their own: cooking, laundry, paying bills. DEREK DUNN/METROLAND McGrath asked Flataas for three words to Norwegian educator Robert Flataas and ADHS vice principal Angie McGrath participate describe ADHS. “Diversity, desire (passion to succeed), and in an exchange program that has them compare and contrast teaching techniques. safe or comfortable.” He knows the importance of kids growing up with these qualities. While a soldier for 14 years in the Norwegian army, Flataas bore witness to the genocide in the former Yugoslavia. He did another tour in Afghanistan. When students learn recent history, they can turn to him as someone who lived it, McGrath said. She will stay with Flataas in March to complete the exchange. It will be something of a homecoming. She started her education career in nearby Finland.

Arnprior museum displays important new acquisition Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Alfred Edmonds is among the most important artist and cartographer the Arnprior region has known, which is why those at the local museum are so excited to obtain another of his prints. “At Landon’s Chute” shows an island and banks of the Madawaska River at what would eventually become the Stewartville dam. Among the important reasons for obtaining the piece, according to Arnprior & District Museum curator Janet Carlile, is that it shows geographical difficulties loggers had in sending wood downstream to mills in Arnprior. Edmonds, born in 1821 England, was a schoolteacher in Burnstown in a year just prior to the Aug. 10, 1875 chute piece. He was also a draughtsman at the same time, and later a cartographer, producing maps for the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canada Department of Railways and Canals. He even worked as an assistant to Sir Sandford Fleming, made famous for proposing standard time zones. Carlile said he recorded rivers as they were, doing four notable drawings at Sand Point. The mu-
seum has an original of his and two prints or copies of prints. The latest was purchased for $800. “This is the most important recent acquisition we’ve made,” Carlile said. “We don’t normally buy things. I had to go to great lengths and get council’s approval. But this is an important example of the social history and geographic history of the area.” Edmonds was awarded a prize in the category Pencil Drawings at the Upper Canada Provincial Exhibition of 1863. He received a commission from the Governor General of Canada. Before his death from natural causes in 1893 and his burial in Beechwood national cemetery, Edmonds’ life took an unfortunate turn. He was jailed at the time, apparently for looking pale and delicate and “insane” according to a Wikipedia entry. His case made the front page of an Ottawa newspaper and turned to page four, making it a significant event. A coroner’s inquest disapproved of jailing the 72-year-old. The museum is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays or by apDEREK DUNN/METROLAND pointment. Admission is $3.50 for adults, $2 for seniors and chil- Museum curator Janet Carlile holds a recent acquisition called “At Landon’s Chute” by cartographer and artist Alfred Edmonds.

‘Not simply a run’: CHEO, RBC launch running event to improve kids’ mental health Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Dustin Garron tried seven times to take his own life. His experience is part of a crisis, he said, that has struck Renfrew County, “with enough suicides in recent years that I can easily fill the first and second row of our audience.” The struggle families are facing today are compounded by long wait times for help and lack of mentalhealth funding. “For one mother five years ago it would be the beginning of an incredible journey,” Garron said, referring to his own mother who was called to the hospital with news that he was close to death following his seventh attempt. It was after he was airlifted to CHEO that things finally changed. “There, thanks to a miraculous team of nurses and doctors that young child’s life was saved that day, and a long but rewarding journey of recovery was about to begin,” said Garron, 22, who today is in fourth year at the University of Ottawa, works as a banking advisor at RBC and is a well-known youth mentalhealth advocate. His employer, RBC, is partnering with CHEO to bring its RBC Race for Kids series to Wesley Clover Parks in Nepean on Sept. 24, 2017.

Olympic athletes Segun Makinde, left, of Orléans, and Melissa Bishop, right, of Eganville, Ont., join Kanata South Coun. Alan Hubley, second from left, his wife Wendy, and Arnprior resident and former CHEO patient Dustin Garron at CHEO on Oct. 12. Ottawa’s newest running event will pump much-needed dollars into mental-health supports for infants, children and teens at the children’s hospital. “This is not simply about a run,” said Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive of the CHEO Foundation. “It’s about raising money that’s going to go into funding the programs which are so essential.” CHEO has witnessed a 75-percent increase in “crisis visits” to its emergency department over the past
five years, and a 50-per-cent spike in outpatient clinic referrals, said Alex Munter, CHEO’s president and chief executive.Those dollars will help build an early intervention program for children up to six years old that is being designed to foster healthy relationships between kids and their parents, said CHEO’s chief of psychiatry, Dr. Kathleen Pajer. The money will also help fund CHEO’s new Choice and Partnership Approach – or CAPA – which is a new mental-health care delivery
model designed, in part, to reduce waiting lists for mental-health care. As well, the money will target “head-to-toe” screenings, to allow the medical team to figure out of a patient who comes in for treatment of a physical ailment may also have a mental-health problem, she said. It’s all about intervening early – long before a child or teen ever contemplates suicide. “We’re about reducing suffering in our kids and making them strong and healthy to be the next generation
of adults to run our country,” said Pajer, who plans to take part in next year’s run along with Karen Tataryn, CHEO’s retiring operations director of mental health patient services. Garron was actually receiving mental-health care at CHEO at the same time as Kanata South Coun. Alan Hubley’s son Jamie. Hubley fought back tears when he said the race announcement coincided with the fifth anniversary of the passing of his son, who died by suicide at age 15. “The whole journey has all been about trying to make sure we can help others so they don’t have to go through this,” said Hubley. His wife Wendy was also in the audience. Six months prior to the death of their severely bullied son, the worried parents began trying to navigate the health-care system in an effort to get Jamie the mental-health support he needed. “We saw it as a maze. It was really hard back then,” Hubley said. “But it’s so much better today because of the support of big and small organizations.” The RBC Race for the Kids, which will become an annual event in Ottawa, will feature timed 10- and five-kilometre closed-course runs, as well as an untimed five-kilometre family run. Registration will open on May 1, 2017.

DEATH NOTICE
It broke my heart to lose you But you didn’t go alone. A part of me went with you The day God took you home. Miss you lots Mom, love Dan.
ENRIGHT
One year ago, you left us, Our hearts were torn in two, One side filled with heartache, The other side died with you. God needed a beautiful angel, And he only picks the best, But we all miss you so very much, It’s difficult for us to rest. We often lie awake at night when the world is half asleep, And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it everyday, but missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Until that joyous day arrives, That we will meet again. Love and miss you always, Sister and brothers
IN MEMORIAM
IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of a dear father, Dennis Isaiah Enright March 20, 1920 – October 20, 2008 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

The McGregors were named one of the 10 Ontario families to receive the 2016 Ontario Farm Family award at the International Plowing Match Expo in the Town of Minto on Sept. 24. The current owners of the family farm are Jim McGregor and his two sons Ian and Cameron. The business is supported by all members of the family. The award was presented during an event at the main stage with 18 members of the immediate family present. “It was nice to be up there and be recognized in front of your farming peers,” said Cameron. “It was a great week. Everyone except our great-grandmother was able to attend, so it was nice that we were all able to get away.” A number of extend family members were also in the audience.

Jim called it an honour to be nominated for the award by Mary Harris, the account manager at Renfrew’s Bank of Montreal. “Mary is a well respected person and it means a lot coming from her,” said Jim. Harris wasn’t going to miss the big presentation and speaks highly of the family. “It’s really a testament of all of the generations working together,” said Harris. “For 18 members of the family to come it was just lovely.” Cameron is very proud of the recent award. “I am happy to be a part of it and it shows the hard work of the previous generations,” said Cameron. “An award like this doesn’t just happen.

Farm continues to grow into the future for McGregor family From page 28
In 1856, Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great-grandfather, who was just 22 at the time and his great-uncle, 19 years old, moved from Beckwith to McNab Township to the current location. At the time the farm was 200 acres of bush and they built a log home close to where they later built the current stone home. In 1949, Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Steve married Noreen McCallum and they continued to operate the farm and purchased it in 1956. Over the years the farm has grown and evolved. When they purchased the farm they ceased cream production and started raising veal calves and then transitioned into fattening steers. In the 1970s, Noreen worked off the farm to supplement the farm income and in 1977 Jim decided to be involved with the farm while teaching full time. It was at this time he started his own line of business, growing three acres of sweet corn. In 1979, Jim and his wife Ann diversified the business by adding other produce and named this venture McGregorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Produce.
The couple sold their goods at a roadside stand and at the Renfrew Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market. During the 1980s, the business continued to adapt with pick-your-own strawberries and wholesale marketing to grocery stores throughout Eastern Ontario. It was also at this time Steve and Jim had expanded the beef herd. Eventually all of the livestock was sold in 1998. Both Jim and Ann continued to work off the farm to provide working capital for the expanding business and to support their growing family. Things changed again when their son Ian graduated from university in 2000 and showed interest in coming home to the farm. He married his wife Deb in 2002. At the same time Jim and Ann took early retirement from their non-farm jobs, which meant the business had to change and grow to support the two families. A few years later Jim and Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest son Cameron graduated from university and also joined the family business. McGregorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Produce then became a family partnership of Jim, Ian and Cameron and was transformed to support the three families.
Jim and Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Sarah is not currently actively involved but has been an integral part of building the business throughout the years. Ian and Cameron are the fifth generation of McGregors to farm the land. Ian says one of his earliest memories working on the farm is going to the Renfrew Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would go as a family and help out,â&#x20AC;? said Ian. He calls it a great way of life where you learn work ethic and where food comes from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are still a multi-generational farm and my grandparents still live here and we get to work alongside them,â&#x20AC;? said Ian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all chip in.â&#x20AC;? Jim says being with family has influenced their values. It allows for different generations to work together. The grandparents can pass on different values or reinforce the parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; values,â&#x20AC;? said Jim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Work ethic is key and you receive the praise from one generation to the next,â&#x20AC;? added Cameron. McGregorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Produce is located in McNab/Braeside Township on Lochwin-
noch Road. It consists of 1,000 acres of owned and leased land and this year 1,500 apple trees were planted. They have 14 fresh produce stands throughout Renfrew County and participate in four farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets. Produce on offer includes strawberries, raspberries, beans, tomatoes, corn and more.

Valley Has Heart names winner Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The inaugural 50/50 draw in support of The Valley Has Heart has a winner. Tim Carmichael’s ticket number 416 won him $1,376.50 from the fundraiser for the Ottawa Heart Institute. He picked up the cheque recently from organizer Ed Reid. Both are former patients of the hospital. “I kind of forgot about it until my wife said you (Reid) were on the phone. I had to think about it,” Carmichael said, chuckling. “I haven’t won anything in years. The only things I really support are heart and cancer groups. I had two stents put in.” Reid started The Valley Has Heart this summer, which culminated in a sold out golf tournament.
The plan is to expand it next summer to neighbouring communities such as Renfrew and Carleton Place. Finding local organizers will be key, he said. “We are going to try to grow it next year. The Heart Institute is really our local hospital for heart patients,” said Reid, who like all members of the group’s executive, experienced a heart attack or other cardiac-related illness. “We are very pleased with the first year. But there’s a lot of opportunity to grow.” He thanks the many business and individual sponsors this year. Volunteers also played a major role. Carmichael said he bought his ticket at Tim Hortons while picking up a coffee on route to a fishing DEREK DUNN/METROLAND hole. Of the 688 tickets sold, many were sold Tim Carmichael, left, accepts a cheque worth almost $1,400 from Ed Reid of The Valley there by Kevin Coe, said Reid. Has Heart organization. Carmichael won the 50/50 draw with ticket number 416. “He did a tremendous job,” Reid said.

Warden’s Cup golf tournament raises $4,000 for two local charities On Sept. 9, on sunny and warm day, 86 enthusiastic golfers set out to drive home the importance of giving back. The 12th annual Warden’s Cup Invitational Golf Tournament was hosted again this year by County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon at the Renfrew Golf Club in Horton. The best-ball format shotgun start tournament saw teams from across the county and beyond turn out for 18 holes of golf, dinner, prizes all for a couple of local charities. “I want to take an opportunity to thank each participant and every sponsor for their generosity and support with making the 12th annual tournament such a success,” said Emon. “The Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Renfrew County and the Deep River and Petawawa Inclusion Project are the real winners
today; these charities have huge impact on our residents. They need our support to assist, our neighbors, our families and our future,” he explained. “Fundraising events like this tournament are a real testament to the giving nature of our residents.” Later in the day, during the presentations, event emcee Bruce Beakley, the county’s director of human resources, announced the winning team.

OFAH/MNRF extend partnership for Community Hatchery Program
KidSport donation
DEREK DUNN/METROLAND
“This goes a long way to helping us provide recreation activities in Arnprior,” said Glenn Arthur, representative for the charity KidSport Ontario. TD Canada Trust in the Arnprior Shopping Centre provided the non profit with a donation again this year. On hand for the cheque worth $830 are Theresa Landon, left, Miranda Blank, (now retired) Sharon Chesworth, and Candice Nault.

The renewal of funding for the Community Hatchery Program (CHP) is great news for fishing in Ontario. Another three-year partnership is underway between the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) to support Ontario’s community fish hatcheries. Volunteer-operated hatcheries not only stock millions of fish annually across the province, they serve as community education centres that promote good fisheries management and conservation. Each year, more than 900 volunteers donate nearly 60,000 hours of their time at community fish hatcheries across the province. In 2015, the CHP provided funding and technical support to 41 community hatcheries, which raised public fish for public waters in Ontario. These stocked fish contribute to rehabilitation, they help conserve local genetic strains and create additional fishing opportunities for Ontario anglers. Running a fish hatchery isn’t easy. Raising fish is not only time consuming, but the high costs of energy bills, feed and equipment can make hatcheries very expensive to operate -and that’s where the value of an initiative like the CHP comes in. “Some community hatcheries would find it
challenging to remain operational without the support of the CHP funding partnership,” says CHP co-ordinator Matt Burley. “The OFAH is a proud partner in this highly successful program and we look forward to the next three years working with Ontario’s community fish hatcheries.” Community-based fish culture is built on a foundation of passion, dedication and genuine concern for resource management. Whether volunteers are raising Walleye, Lake Trout or Chinook Salmon, their commitment to raising and stocking fish is reinforced with funding and technical support through CHP. As we transition from summer to fall, when you are out on the water, think about the hard work and dedication of community hatchery volunteers who are helping to conserve local fisheries and create more fishing opportunities for all Ontarians. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters is Ontario’s largest, non-profit, fish and wildlife conservation-based organization, representing 100,000 members, subscribers and supporters and 735 member clubs. To learn more about the Community Hatchery Program, visit the website www.ofah.org and follow us on Facebook and Twitter (@ ofah).

Representatives from Ontario’s 21 universities will at Arnprior District High School on Monday, Oct. 24 from 6:15 to 8:30 p.m., for the University Information Program (UIP). This free event offers high school students from the surrounding area, and their parents, the opportunity to speak in-person with multiple university representatives. Students and families from any high school in the area are welcome to attend. 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 2017. 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 chance to attend three 30-minute university presentations, followed by a question and answer period. After the presentations, students can attend a “roam-around” session where they can visit each Ontario university 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. The event is organized by the standing committee on student recruitment and the Ontario University Registrars’ Association.

Hibernian Society would be grateful for Mary and Richard’s efforts Mother liked to take a trip into Ottawa to visit our Lyon Street relatives before fall changed to winter. It was always on a Saturday, since it was a long trip to make in the old Model T and we’d stay overnight. I was thrilled, because 129 Lyon St. was always a hive of activity. Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny, their daughter Lil and Uncle Dick, and of course, my cousin Richard, all lived in the tenement house, and goodness knows how many families on the floors above. I knew all of Northcote could fit into that old red brick house. It was a bright and warm fall day when we wheeled into the cinder yard that separated 129 Lyon St. from the fire station next door. As always, Mother came with the car loaded with potatoes, a couple plump chickens and a basket of crab apples. My cousin Richard was as excited as I was when we climbed out of the car and he whispered in my ear that he had a great idea how we could spend the afternoon. We went right into the parlour, dark and dank with big pieces of deep red, velvet furniture and an old upright piano crowed into the small room. Richard showed me a stack of papers and a sign propped against the big velvet sofa. I could only read the first words, being in Primer book and all at the Northcote School, but Richard who was very familiar with the sign, read in whispers, running his finger along the words. “Help support the Hibernian Society.” And there was a picture of Aunt Vanetta’s church underneath the printing. Richard grabbed a handful of the papers and the sign, took hold of my hand and led me out onto the street. I had no idea what we were doing, but I figured it had something to do with Aunt Vanetta’s church, so it must be all right. “Here, you carry the papers,” Richard said. “I’ll carry the sign.” He produced a blue and white granite cup, one like Uncle Johnny drank his tea from and with the sign close to his chest, we started walking down Lyon Street.
Every time we met someone, Richard, all of seven-yearsold, put on the saddest face I had ever seen and said, “Please help the Hibernian Society.” If someone put a penny or two in the cup, it was my job to hand them a MARY COOK sheet of paper off the pile I was carrying. Never thinking anything we were doing was dishonest, I marveled at the pile of coins gathering in the bottom of the tin cup and was sure the Hibernians would be especially pleased. Well, Richard had other ideas. After we had been at our begging about half an hour, he grabbed the papers out of my hands, and with the sign, tucked the whole lot into a hedge we were passing on Lyon Street. He emptied the cup of coins into his pocket and got rid of the cup too. We headed right for Richard’s favourite candy store on Albert Street. Unfortunately, Richard’s father, Uncle Dick was coming home from work, spied us, pulled over to the curb and told us to climb in the car. Now, Uncle Dick was a smart man. It didn’t take him all day to see, and hear, Richard’s pocket bulging with the money. When we got back to the house and Uncle Dick heard Richard’s confession, he and Uncle Johnny laughed so hard, I thought they’d throw up. Aunt Vanetta and Aunt Lil didn’t see anything funny about the whole issue and Aunt Vanetta immediately took out her rosary, and started to say her beads, Aunt Lil ordered Richard to get out his catechism, and I was sent to the parlour to look through the family bible! The coins were spread out on the table, and I knew without a doubt, the Hibernian Society would be a few dollars richer, but I was reasonably sure they would have no idea where the money had come from.

Shattering the glass ceiling from 1970 to today 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. EQUAL WORK FOR EQUAL PAY
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 oth-
er parts of the world. PROGRESS
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 hinders their progress and reinforces a negative image of women. We should also ask ourselves if the glass ceiling is maintained by choice or unconsciously, and what we can do to change those attitudes.
ASK WHY
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.

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. Contact me today to embark on your personal journey to health and recovery. Gina Pilon, Grief Recovery Coach

Today’s businesswomen have bright future (MS) - There was a time when a career in business was reserved exclusively for men. But over the past few decades, women executives and entrepreneurs have fought to broaden this sphere for future female generations. To recognize the achievements of past and present-day pioneers, we devote one week each and every year to honouring businesswomen across the globe. This year, National Business Women’s Week (Oct. 16 to 22) will once again be held to celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of strong women everywhere.
OIL PAINTING WITH MARG LAMENDEAU The Art of Marg Lamendeau 64 Carss St. Arnprior Ont. K7S 2H1 613-623-6936 lamendeaumarg7@gmail.com www.marglamendeau.com
Being a woman in today’s business world is still far from the norm. Despite the great strides made by women, the global business landscape still paints a rather one-sided picture. According to the International Labour Organization, women head only 10 to 20 per cent of corporations, which proves that the future we so eagerly hoped for has yet to become a reality. Regrettably, men continue to be reluctant when it comes to being led by women. More and more young women are obtaining bachelor’s degrees in business
administration. Additionally, there’s an abundance of inspirational stories relating the modern-day trials and tribulations of women in the world of business. These accounts offer invaluable lessons to future generations who will undoubtedly leave their own mark on the industry. Let’s encourage these young women to develop their business sense and to carve out their own place. Someday, equality will be the norm and women will be fairly represented in boardrooms and businesses across the globe.
YEARS IN BUSINESS: 10 SERVICES: I am a professional artist and teacher offering 5 classes per week in oil painting. I work one on one with each individual, sharing tips and techniques on how to achieve realistic effects with colour, form and texture with a variety of subject matter. Students work at their own pace in a very relaxing, comfortable atmosphere. I have students at all levels from beginners to more advanced. Some students have been with me for the full ten years! Classes are kept small to allow for more time with the teacher. FAVOURITE PART OF THE JOB: Interacting with the men and women and teens in each class. There is a lot of laughter and fun times. To see all the artwork come to life is a real joy! WHAT KEEPS PEOPLE COMING BACK: People find the classes to be therapeutic, entertaining and instructive. (some will tell you it’s my coffee! best in the valley) CLASS TIMES: You can choose from Tues; Wed; Thurs; evenings or Wed; Thurs. afternoons COST: Classes are $30 for 3 hours of instruction.

Healthy habits for females in the workplace to combat stress (MS) - Stress has an immediate and potentially long-term effect on the human body. Though it’s a natural response to both good and bad experiences, stress, when chronic, can produce a host of negative consequences that greatly diminish one’s quality of life. Combatting stress can sometimes be difficult, as the causes of stress are never too far away for many adults. In its 2015 “Stress in AmericaTM: Paying With Our Health” survey, the
American Psychological Association found that money is the top cause of stress for Americans. The survey was conducted on behalf of the APA by Harris Poll, which asked more than 3,000 participants about their issues with stress. Sixty-four percent said money was a somewhat or very significant source of stress, and that number was even higher for parents (77 percent). Survey respondents also noted that work is a significant source of stress. Few adults can imagine a life that
does not include financial- or workrelated stress. But there are ways to combat stress that can benefit people’s long-term health and improve their present-day quality of life. • Develop a support network. Speaking about problems with trusted friends and family members can be an effective way to combat stress. The APA study found that participants who reported having an emotional support network reported lower stress levels than those who

had no such networks to rely on. Try to overcome any reticence you might have about speaking about your stress to a close friend or trusted relative on those days when stress seems overwhelming. • Get more exercise. Routine exercise is another healthy way to combat stress. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, studies have shown that exercise can reduce fatigue, improve alertness and concentration and enhance overall cognitive function.

Those are considerable benefits to people dealing with elevated levels of stress, which can contribute to both physical and mental fatigue and negatively impact one’s ability to concentrate. Studies also have shown that regular exercise can decrease tension, which tends to increase as stress levels rise, and elevate and help to stabilize mood, which often decreases as stress levels increase.

Stress tips for busy women From page 44
• Don’t lean on alcohol after stressful days. Many people respond to stressful days by consuming alcohol. While alcohol helps some people forget a stressful day, it also produces psychological and physiological side effects that can compound the effects of the very stress drinkers are looking to relieve. People who drink to alleviate stress may only be doing more harm with each drink, so find a way to cope with stress that has a more positive impact on both your body and mind than that produced by alcohol.
• Breathe deeply. The American Institute of Stress notes that focused breathing is a relaxation response that stimulates the nervous system and promotes a sense of calmness. Deep breathing can combat stress, lower blood pressure and draw your attention away from those things that are causing your stress. Visit www.stress.org to learn about deep breathing exercises that can help you manage stress. Stress if a fact of life for many people. But while stress may be inevitable, it can be overcome.
Daily exercise is an effective way to combat stress.

Being a woman, on your own terms 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 feel-
ing 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 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.

It’s an opportunity to introduce people to the many benefits of massage therapy.

When they come out of that room with that amazed look on their face, exclaiming at how much their pain is reduced. That’s the payoff for me.

Five good reasons to create an online company Generally speaking, women who start a business are driven by the desire to take on challenges and be fully autonomous in the decision-making process. However, the stresses of balancing work and family can be difficult to manage and may discourage some women from taking the plunge. Did you know that many women earn lucrative incomes through Internet companies they’ve created? Here are five reasons why starting your own business on the Web is a
good idea for women entrepreneurs. 1) When you’re a mother, working from home allows you to spend more time with your children. 2) Managing your online business enables you to have an extremely flexible schedule. 3) Your income is proportional to your efforts. 4) You could eventually make a profit on the sale of your company. 5) As you are your own boss; you can’t get laid off.
To inspire you, here are just a few examples of the kinds of online businesses that can allow women to earn substantial incomes: • Website creation • Writing (resumés, letters, etc.) • Sales of electronic books • Virtual consulting service (advise clients based on your area of expertise) • Customized content design (ads, logos, newsletters, etc.) • Managing online stores

Women with business in their blood (MS) - Who are the women running companies and small enterprises? What drives them and makes them successful? Some women seem to have it in their blood; it is as though they were born to be businesspeople. Generally, these women are gogetters. They are driven and they love taking charge. Without trying to stubbornly impose their point of view, they enjoy the art of persuasive argument and getting others to share in
their vision of the world. These women are driven by their self-confidence and their belief in their skills. 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 common 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 A businesswoman’s success is directly related to her determination and in your business. and drive.

Take a cue from women who are successful in business 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 HewlettPackard and Ginny Rometty of IBM, made the list. Although women make up 45 per cent of the labor force and only five per cent head Fortune 500 companies, women are making greater strides than ever before. For exam-
ple, 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 psychiatry 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.

Be safe, healthy and happy in the workplace while pregnant Congratulations, you are pregnant. The next several months are certain to include many changes as you prepare for the arrival of your child. Whether you have been pregnant before or are about to become a mom for the first time, each experience is unique. And while dealing with the unexpected is part of being pregnant, pregnant women should expect their employers to treat them fairly as they continue to work.
The first thing pregnant working women should know is that they have the right to work while pregnant. In the United States, it has been illegal to discriminate against pregnant women in the workplace since 1978, when the Pregnancy Discrimination Act was passed. Canadian women also have similar rights under the Canadian Human Rights Act. But in spite of those laws, some employers may be less receptive to their female employees’ pregnan-
cies, with some insisting they harbor good intentions, such as the woman’s safety. Businesses cannot fire employees for being pregnant, and many courts have ruled that decisions about the safety of the woman and fetus are up to the employee and her doctor, not her boss. On the same token, a company cannot refuse to hire a person simply because she’s pregnant. While pregnancy is a natural occurrence and one female bodies can
accommodate, in some instances, work requirements may threaten the safety or the health of the fetus. Therefore, employers are under a duty to accommodate female workers who may need to modify their duties due to their pregnancies. This can be a collaborative discussion, with both the employer and employee coming to a solution that works best for them. It is the employer’s responsibility to accommodate pregnant employees by removing barriers that may

Safety at work when pregnant From page 50
Know your rights when you are pregnant at work
Women should put their health and the safety of their unborn children ahead of their responsibilities at work. In addition, women should not hesitate to speak with their employers about their comfort levels while pregnant. If an issue arises, speak with your boss, who deserves the benefit of the doubt. In some instances, breastfeeding also is protected by law at job sites or at the office. It is best for women to familiarize themselves with breastfeeding policies ahead of time so they can make
the proper accommodations. Pregnant women should discuss with their doctors which work activities are permissable and which should be avoided at particular times in the pregnancy. Every effort should be made to avoid toxic substances, and pregnant women should not lift heavy items or engage in any potentially risky physical activity. For more information about workplace rights, visit the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission at www.eeoc.gov or the Canadian Human Rights Commission at www.chrc-ccdp.ca.
