he is retired he feels confident that he can dedicate the time and energy needed to make council function well. “I love Arnprior and if elected I … promise to serve our community with an open minded approach, to listen and voice your concerns at the council table.” Frank Dugal Frank Dugal has a lot of experience at municipal politics, and yet still maintains an outsider’s perspective. That’s because he spent eight years at Cumberland’s council table. A Valley Granite and Tile employee who moved to town in February 2013, Dugal retired in 1998 from the federal government after working 14 years on the tech side of information services in both the public works and treasury board branches. He has attended most Arnprior council meetings over the last year and volunteers on the corporate services committee. “I bring the outsider perspective and that is the perspective of a lot of new residents. I would be representing them.” Lynn Grinstead Incumbent councillor Lynn Grinstead promises to be a strong voice pushing for downtown revitalization hand-in-hand with development of the waterfront with a fullservice marina. That should be easier now that the town’s operations and finances have been put in
order by council, said the MYfm sales representative. Grinstead is optimistic the recreation master plan process will come up with all sorts of possibilities to shape the town’s recreation programs and facilities for the next 10 years. “I remember a very vibrant recreation department when I was growing up, and although we have several amazing programs today,” she said. “I feel that that is room for more, bringing back things such as house league softball, etc.” Dan Lynch Dan Lynch, Arnprior Airport manager for the last 15 years, was first elected to council in 2010. Prior to that he was in the military police for 25 years. He came to Arnprior in 1988 when he transferred from Petawawa to the Diefenbunker. Lynch said that town is now in a good position to attract more residents. With them will come more business, investment and services. He said he’d like to see a closer working relationship with McNab-Braeside. “Hopefully with the support of the persons who voted for me last time along with the new residents, I’ll be part of the 2014 town council.” See TOWN, Page 5

The Public Works Department in conjunction with the Town’s Fall Hydrant Flush program is conducting a Valve Maintenance Program. The hydrant flush will clean the distribution system by flushing any standing red water. The valve maintenance program is designed to clean and exercise the valves and by doing so will extend their life as well as determine whether the valves are operable. The work is planned for October 2 - 31 , 2014 and will be completed in the shortest period of time possible. This procedure is routine but it may result in some temporary inconveniences such as poor water pressure or “red” water. Do not be alarmed.

News – Tempers flared briefly at Arnprior’s council table Oct. 14 over which level of government is responsible for funding roadwork plans. Coun. Ted Strike asked for a recorded vote – meaning each member’s name will go on record – on the passage of a bylaw having to do with Baskin Drive West. Normally bylaws pass with little fanfare. Discussion takes place at an earlier time. But in this case Strike took issue with the town paying for an engineering design. He said it is “premature” to begin planning for the road’s urbanization (streetlights and sidewalks) because it was just recently repaved. The plan was estimated to cost about $220,000. It is a County of Renfrew road, which was often cited as the reason why it and Division Street went so many years in a decrepit state. “The county should take the lead,” Strike said. “They are the road authority.” He was also less than impressed that council was excluded from the

For safety reasons the town must move quickly to urbanize the road. Paying for the engineering design will prompt the county to get the project on its 10-year plan. Besides, development charges pay

75 per cent of the cost. He rejected a notion of backroom deals, saying staff did most of the leg work and that he, Stack, was part of one short conversation. A similar situation took place in Petawawa, he added, and that town took the lead. The county will contribute to the contract, which came in much lower than the estimated cost: $129,540.

Town councillor balks at paying for road plan dollars in savings. The letter shows that, for Arnprior, the cost per property will be $410.94, for a total of $1,615,812 in 2015. “That’s $276,000 less than this year’s budget,” Reid said. “So, that’s good news.” And when the numbers are calculated according to the old system, when 8.5 per cent increases were at play, the town pays $800,000 less.

Recreation a major election issue Continued from front
On the township side, at least two challengers were prompted to enter the race at least in part because of the way the recreation and library deals have been handled by their current council. The issue is at the forefront of formal and informal debates, campaign literature, letters to the editor, and fencepost conversation. And much of the traction, if the talk in letters and social media is any indication, is going to those who say they want a deal with Arnprior. McNab-Braeside could have a completely new council after Oct. 27 or at the very least there could be a reshuffling of the deck. Mayor Mary Campbell is facing strong challenges from Coun. Aldene Styles and Tom Peckett, who has received support from the McNabBraeside Residents for Reading and Recreation group. Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie has even more challengers, with Coun. Brad McIlquham, Brian Armsden and Len Chapeski also seeking the position. Mary Campbell: Seeking a third term as mayor, Campbell is running on her record and belief that the township should protect and nourish its rural identity. That includes taking steps to provide its own recreation programs and be proactive in attracting development. Tom Peckett The former Arnprior councillor has sharply criticized council for its actions on the recreation and library agreements and argues that more could be done to welcome economic growth to the township. Aldene Styles Styles is touting her council (two terms) and nursing/administrative experience as she promotes a common sense approach to leading
council. She supports revisiting the recreational/library deal issue with the idea of negotiating an agreement Brian Armsden A vocal spokesman for MB4RR (McNabBraeside Residents for Reading and Recreation), Armsden wants a whole new council that will be willing to negotiate new deals with Arnprior and be more receptive to community concerns. Christine Blimkie Seeking a second term, Blimkie is running on her record as a no-nonsense council member who doesn’t shy away from making tough decisions and works hard to ensure ratepayers gets the best bang for their buck. Len Chapeski The former Renfrew County Landowners president feels council should be more accommodating to development and less bureaucratic in its approach. He is involved in a dispute with council over development at his business. Brad McIlquham The two-term councillor wants to see council and committee operations tweaked to run more smoothly. He feels a recreation deal with Arnprior is possible, but only if the town makes it affordable to the township, which is facing many budgetary challenges. In the councillor race, Bob Campbell is the only incumbent running for re-election for that position. Joining him in the battle for three councillor positions are Scott Brum, Heather Lang, Lou Laventure and Mark MacKenzie. All are first-time candidates, who argue that a fresh approach is needed to re-energize council and move beyond the confusion and division caused by the recreation debate. With files from John Carter

Voters: It’s up to you
T
here really isn’t any need to urge McNab-Braeside residents to vote. Given the level interest in the municipal campaign, there should be a large turnout in the Oct. 27 election. However, with no mayor and reeve races, it might be more difficult to persuade some Arnprior voters to get off their duffs and cast a ballot. But it is important. The five councillors will hold the majority in council, so who gets elected (from the nine shown at right) is crucial to the town’s future. So vote. It’s up to you to help determine that future.

LETTER
Mayoralty candidate’s platform informed, sensible To the Editor: Right up-front, I want to state that I am a ‘Tom Peckett for mayor’ supporter, just as Neil Stewart is an Aldene Styles supporter. Mr. Stewart’s letter (Chronicle-Guide, Oct. 9) is the exact reason the Township is wallowing in controversy. I wrote this letter after contacting Mr. Peckett to ask him about Stewart’s comments, and we discussed them one by one. On the policing issue, Mr. Peckett has no problem with wage increases for frontline officers; however, 8 per cent over three years does not increase the charge to the Township to anywhere near $1.1 million. Mr. Peckett intends to fight the new formula and has experience in negotiating with the OPP.
Why does Mr. Peckett want a forensic financial audit? He sat through three days of 2014 budget deliberations. Council was advised there was a $287,000 reserve, which had been sitting there since 2009; no one on Council knew what this was for and had to contact the former treasurer - only to find out it was from development charges that had been collected to expand the dump (which, by the way, Council was not allowed to do because development charge fees are not permitted for such a use). Mr. Peckett has no idea where that money went. Yes, a forensic audit will cost money, but less than paying Bruce Firestone $14,000 to tell us we have hamlets with heart! On hiring a planner instead
of using part-time County employees, Mr. Peckett pointed to the problems getting development in the township. The current arrangement is not working and a planner will help increase development, offsetting the cost of paying for our own planner and increasing the tax base. I’ll never forget a very successful person saying that “if you want to make a dollar be prepared to spend a dime.� Mr. Peckett’s response to Mr. Stewart’s statement that changing bylaw 2013-31 will cost money for lawyers is simple. If Mrs. Styles had not voted (not once but twice) to allow the expansion of the quarry and using people’s private property as part of the buffer zone - effectively reducing the value of these homes - then a group of

just vote to end the relationship without any meetings between the councils is beyond me.� Mr. Peckett’s reply concerning how he will lower the tax levy was straightforward. If the current Council can cut services and still manage to raise the tax levy 13.57 per cent, as well as suck up a substantial tax rebate from the county and school board in 2014, it won’t be hard to reduce the tax levy for 2015. “If I can’t, then the residents will hold me accountable in 2018.� It is too bad Mr. Stewart failed to become informed by at least talking with Mr. Peckett.

de, politicians are crucified for trying to be fair and equitable to all, trying to see that everyone’s needs are met, trying to keep taxes down. You’re right; I’m talking about the McNabBraeside recreation agreement with Arnprior. How did all this happen anyway? So I asked Mayor Campbell to go through her notes, her files, the minutes. Now I’m going to share some facts with you. First of all, Renfrew offers recreation services to other municipalities using a standard formula for all non-resident participants. Renfrew has always provided a clear, fair rationale for its rates as well as excellent reporting on M-B activities. Meanwhile, the Ontario government urges municipalities to focus on physical activity. Plans that follow the Federal Sport4Life program promote ‘physical literacy’ in water, land, air and snow/ice, through all ages. We need to do this. Healthy Community is one of the municipal ‘sustainability’ actors which allows the province to judge our ability to survive as an independent municipality. Hey, we want to keep our status as a municipality. This is key. Council agreed we had to do what the province told us, but then all the recreation programming money was spent on agreements with Arnprior and Renfrew; almost none was
left to develop more programs. It just wouldn’t work. So here’s what happened: In October 2011, Mayor Reid presented Arnprior's five-year proposal for funding agreements: $142K with annual increments to $200K by year five. Justification based on percentage of total usage; numbers were estimates. Mayor Campbell was disturbed that she had to sign cheques for hundreds of thousands of dollars without adequate reports of who was doing what. Mayor Reid committed to having the requested reporting … names and addresses of M-B participants so residents could be verified. That promise was never kept. His proposal for a Joint Master Recreation Plan would pool both Arnprior and M-B resources. M-B Council had concerns: 1) The Master Plan would leave M-B open to potential funding of Arnprior aging recreation infrastructure; 2) Arnprior would tell M-B which facilities would get attention rather than the equal sharing around the Township now; 3) Too much dependency on Arnprior would leave us vulnerable to an Arnprior plea to the province, ‘we could do so much more if we had McNabBraeside tax base to draw on; and 4) members thought ‘it sounded like a start on amalgamation’. Despite misgivings by some, a joint Arnprior/MB negotiation committee was
established. In January 2012, a motion to enter the proposed agreement with Arnprior was turned down by Council. Campbell/Blimkie met with parents to see what children need: hockey, ringette, figure skating. With Blue Fish Swim club and swimming lessons, perhaps 300 children used Nick Smith Centre. Other parents wanted their children in sports such as curling, dance or skiing as they don't like the cost, travel time and aggressive culture of hockey and don’t want their tax dollars going to sports their children don’t play. Adult hockey and pool therapy are also important. Recreation needs for all M-B members complicated for sure. June 2012, Mayor Campbell supported a two-year extension of the Recreation Agreement to give time for families to get ready for higher costs and for M-B recreation committee to develop alternative programming. But in that time virtually nothing was done to develop what must be done for the Healthy Community program required by the provincial government. Blimkie's suggestion that willing participants pay a service charge over and above their taxes to support Arnprior/Renfrew Library and Recreation turned into a survey based on calculations given by Arnprior as to the numbers of M-B users (1,260 for rec.);

457 properties indicated that they would be interested. But the Arnprior numbers weren't accurate. A ‘user’ was not defined in Arnprior as an ‘individual’ as it was in Renfrew. In Arnprior, if you used the arena you were counted as a user; if you walked over to the pool you were counted again as a user. Rather than 1,260 users, this double accounting might result in only 800 users. In April 2013, Arnprior finally gave us some numbers, but no names and addresses to be able to check where they lived. Information and Privacy Act was quoted as the reason, even though that very Commission said it didn't apply to communication between municipalities sharing services. So the service charge to the 457 people who said they would contribute would be more than doubled because Arnprior figures were not accurate. The Mayor was the only person to vote to continue with the Service Agreement because she said a commitment made should be kept. Arnprior wanted M-B to enter a Joint Master Recreation Agreement, sharing volunteers, staff and assets. Non-unionized M-B staff earn 30 per cent less than Arnprior staff - Pay equity? Huge cost to the M-B taxpayer. So M-B entered 2014 with no agreement. Mayor Campbell brought to Council four alternative approaches to provide recreation programming. 1. Provide a rebate to residents for any physical activity program. 2. Rent facilities, figure out how many hours of ice time are needed, soccer pitches, etc. as long as 50 per cent of users are M-B. Extend this idea to Curling Club and local ski hills. 3. Buy programs and resell them to our residents at an affordable price (a toonie/hr.). 4. Subsidize sport association fees. It was essential to have the $162K spent on the 2013 agreements remain in the 2014 budget. Mayor Campbell persistently advised council to include it in the 2014 budget. Finally it was passed in May. This election is not about whether or not to have a Recreation Agreement with Arnprior. This election is about whether or not to enter into a Lump Sum Agreement without accountability, transparency and equal opportunity to participate throughout the Township. Arnprior only wants a lump sum agreement because it represents an arbitrary number they can increase at will without rationale or accountability. Arnprior wants access to the McNab-Braeside tax base and the Recreation Agreement is their vehicle. N.I. Calllen Braeside

Arnprior should stop using recreation to thwart library deal To the Editor: Libraries are wonderful! You really have to wonder why McNab-Braeside doesn’t have an agreement for its residents to use the Arnprior Library. The library is a gem; in so many ways it could be part of every person’s life from those first reading experiences of a toddler to the enjoyment of a senior avid reader, to the access to computers and that whole other world out there. So to find out the reason for having no agreement, I decided to investigate and got facts from Mayor Campbell about the history of the library agreement or lack of it. Read this carefully. It’s pretty clear that there was one person trying very hard to get library services to the people of M-B. First of all, we have to look at the Renfrew Library agreement, as, of course, for some people who work in Renfrew or live in the end of the township closest to Renfrew, it makes sense for those people to use it. The Province had designated M-B as part of the Renfrew Library catchment area and the agreement was just for the purposes of ratifying the transfer of provincial grant moneys from the Province to the Renfrew Library. As of 2013, the current council agreed to add a small contribution from the tax base as a “topup” of about $2,000/year to the grant to better reflect the number of M-B residents served and cost increases. But M-B had to terminate the Renfrew Library Agreement, in the interests of being fair and consistent with the lack of an Arnprior Library Agreement. It wasn’t fair for some M-B residents to have access to library facilities supported by even small tax dollars if the rest of the residents could not. Council decided to give a $45/household rebate to help families pay for library services. In 2007 M-B was paying $35K/year, increasing to $45K/year in 2011 for an Arnprior agreement. That year, the Town of Arnprior made it clear that the Library and Recreation Agreements were to be negotiated simultaneously; there couldn’t be one without the other. When there was no progress on agreements, Mayor Campbell suggested council start an after school program, children’s reading club, science club, adult book club, etc. hiring a parttime librarian or retired teacher to run it, two nights/week in Braeside, two/week in White lake. At least it would be something. Council did not follow up on this program idea. Negotiations reconvened in 2012. The Province advised both the Town of Arnprior and the Arnprior Library Board that it was not up to the Town to negotiate an agreement with M-B. That was the responsibility of the Board. If that had happened, M-B would have had an agreement. Instead, the Arnprior Library Board passed a resolution to have the town negotiate on its behalf. The Arnprior Library Board enabled the
Town to continue to hold M-B for ransom in the interests of a recreation agreement. A two-year extension of the library agreement saw the M-B contribution shoot up to $86K in 2013, yet numbers of households using the library decreased from 1,300 in 2010 to 1,050 in 2012. So one resident asked: ‘If the Library rates are $60/household and there were 1,050 households, equalling a charge of $63K, why were we paying $86K?’ It turned out that the difference is treated as a municipal subsidy over and above the membership fee and is used to sustain additional programming. In the Chronicle-Guide article of December 2013, it became clear that the Library Board was going to have to cut a number of services and programs. So Mayor Campbell met with Arnprior Library offering a suggestion the Board approach M-B council to help fund some of these cut programs, such as the Summer Readers’ Program from the 2014 budget. She learned that they couldn’t accept municipal sponsorship without an agreement. An outside agency such as The TD Bank could sponsor a program such as the Summer Readers, but M-B could not. Mayor Campbell tried one more time to get council to pursue a Library agreement for 2015, first with Renfrew so there would be a template for an Arnprior agreement, assuming that the Arnprior Board would rescind its motion to have the Town negotiate on its behalf. That idea went nowhere, even though the mayor pointed out that the Renfrew Library fees were now $65/household and the Mayor felt that families needed more help than the $45 rebate budgeted by council. As of this September, the number of households claiming their Library Services rebate for membership in the Arnprior Library was 228, rather than the 1,050 households reported in 2012. So let’s get to the bottom line here; what is it costing the taxpayer? Do the math. As of September, only 228 M-B people are using the Arnprior library and claiming their $45 rebate. But let’s more than double that number for people who might come back, bringing it to about half the number reported using it in 2012, say 500 families. So if M/B has a library agreement we are paying $86,000 for these people to have a library card. That’s $172/family! But M/B has 7,600 residents. All that money on such a small percentage of the population! We would save $112/family if we simply paid them a $60 rebate! But the people of McNab-Braeside want library agreements; they want many, many more people to use this facility. So why won’t the Town of Arnprior stop holding these people for ransom in order to get the recreation agreement that they want? T. Turner Braeside

Meeting typical of Arnprior meddling in township affairs To the Editor: Is it meddling or more of the same paternalistic behaviour from Arnprior to McNab-Braeside ratepayers? On Monday evening, Oct. 6, an all-candidates meeting was held in McNab-Braeside. Nothing unusual until you look a little closer. The event was sponsored and “moderated” by the “Greater” Arnprior Chamber of Commerce (GACC). As moderator, they chose the written questions from the audience that were then asked of all the candidates. Sounds reasonable on the surface, until the debate is over and you get an opportunity to assess what really happened. Turns out the vast majority of the questions the Chamber chose to ask were ones which could one be described as “softball” questions that favoured the program expansion candi dates. No ag questions
There wasn’t a single question about fiscal responsibility associated with the program expansion viewpoint. Nor was there a single question about agriculture, which is unquestionably the largest business enterprise in the township. Surely everyone understands that how we pay for the services we get, including higher
There are decades of negotiated shared agreements between the township and town sanctioned by the ratepayers, to back this point of view. What is concerning to me, having lived here in McNab for the past 11 years, is how Arnprior seems to think they know best for McNabBraeside. From the mayor of Arnprior attempting to negotiate a new joint recreation and library agreement through this newspaper, to the town’s reeve declaring on numerous occasions, that Arnprior should simply amalgamate the township into the capable hands of the Town of Arnprior. Not if I have any say! Which brings me back to the debate on Oct. J. Hugh Brownlee 6. Did you know that the organization that sponMcNab-Braeside sored and effectively controlled that debate has no McNab-Braeside businesses represented on Editor’s note: The above letter was written its board of directors?

Printed on recycled paper. Double‐sided for efficient use of resources.
After reading your pre-emptive editorial about the GACC sponsorship of the McNabBraeside all-candidates meeting once more today, I am struck by the irony of your editorial thesis. Yes, the moderator lives in McNab but that has nothing to do with either his role at the meeting nor his membership in the GACC, which is based on a Town of Arnprior business. If I took your logic, then I guess folks in McNab-Braeside shouldn’t be fussed by the Town of Arnprior’s mayor, who also lives in McNab-Braeside, but has stridently chosen to stick it to township residents through his proposal for the new recreation and library joint services deal, and further through his role in shifting the funding formula for policing to increase the burden on rural townships like McNab-Braeside. All, of course, in the interest of Arnprior ratepayers, and specifically the businesses of the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce. As for Lynn Grinstead, I take your point that she’s busy with other things, but that does not obviate the fact that she represents an obvious perceived conflict-of-interest in this situation. There is a very real conflict of interest issue here; it’s too bad for whatever reason you are choosing to reject it, let alone having the public draw their own conclusions objectively.

Let me remind you again, these are the folks who chose the questions that were asked on Oct. 6. For virtually all public organizations these two facts would represent an obvious requirement to declare a conflict-of-interest in running an all-candidates meeting in a neighbouring township, particularly when many of the central issues in this year’s McNab-Braeside campaign revolve around financial conflicts between the Town and Township. No such conflict was declared before, during or since the debate by the executive of the GACC, despite a request from this writer. I am reminded of the Aesop’s fable about the town (city) mouse and the country mouse. I think most of you know how that one goes. Country mice pay attention, I think we are being played by the town mice! be wise to think hard about the current Might council’s ongoing request for hard numbers to back up Arnprior’s proposed revised recreation and library agreement.
policing, recreation, library costs is the central question in the election. I suspect most ratepayers want a reasonably priced recreation and library agreement with the Town of Arnprior.

Why can’t some people learn to share so all can benefit? proach to sharing the recreation tax dollars. Yet some people just can’t seem to share. They insist that they have a “right” to a bigger piece of the recreation tax dollar pie than their neighbours! When it came to expanding broadband access, getting roads paved and defending property owners from encroachment by quarry operations, Mayor Campbell has kept her promises. We are sure that she will keep her promise to provide affordable recreation for adults as well as all our children. We are all equally “special” in McNab-Braeside. We have always known how to share as a community. Let’s not lose that value now!

ers have not agreed to match it. The welfare of families is at risk, as are the hard earned savings of the workers at AECL. Save for a handful of articles scattered here and there, no one seems to be paying any attention. Even the MP for the riding where AECL Chalk River is located, Cheryl Gallant, ignored the workers concerns since this spring.

To the Editor: We are astonished at the selfish attitude of some people. Mayor Campbell’s proposal reallocates funds previously used for agreements primarily supporting hockey and swimming as a rebate. The rebate approach would encourage all families in their recreation programs, no matter what the physical activity. It would allow our children to try a wider variety of programs in finding their sport. She is also proposing that council gradually increase the recreation program budget an average of $10/household tax increase and that rents from leases such as the proposed Rogers tower be used for recreation. These increases would support ice and pool rental hours, offering programs more affordable for everyone than what is available now. Sounds like a fiscally sound and fair ap-

To the editor: Re: “Barring treatment for the mentally ill,” West Carleton Review, Oct. 2. The Correctional Service of Canada wishes to clarify facts reported in the article. Contrary to what the article reports, no mental health beds have been decommissioned. CSC is not closing any beds. CSC is reviewing the organization and delivery of its mental health services for inmates to ensure the most effective and efficient delivery of quality essential mental health care services for this population. There are three levels of mental health care: hospital care, intermediate care and primary care. Hospital care is
provided for inmates with acute mental health concerns requiring inpatient psychiatric care with 24-hour nursing care, typically in a hospital bed. Intermediate care is provided to inmates presenting with mental health conditions that cannot be adequately addressed through primary care in an institution, but who do not require hospital care. Primary care is provided to inmates with mental health needs that can be accommodated by services in an institution. All three levels of care are provided by interdisciplinary teams, including mental health professionals such as psychiatrists, nurses,
psychologists, social workers and occupational therapists. It is possible that this realignment could include a re-allocation of funding previously designated for hospital care to provide support and capacity for intermediate level care within the treatment centres and in mainstream institutions. Matching the service level to patient needs ensures the most efficient use of health resources. The net result will be that services will be better aligned to the health needs of the inmate population, and will allow inmates to transition down to the most appropriate level of care when they need it. CSC is legislatively mandated to provide
inmates with essential health care and reasonable access to non-essential mental health care that will contribute to the inmate’s rehabilitation and successful reintegration into the community. Thank you for the opportunity to provide some clarification on CSC’s treatment of offenders with mental health care needs. Scott Harris Assistant commissioner, communications and engagement Correctional Service of Canada *** To the editor: Re: “Barring treatment for the mentally ill,” West Carleton Review, Oct. 2. It is good news that

Domestic human issues were overlooked by MP Continued from Page 13
Recently she released a statement assuring them that she was going to make sure the government had their back; by putting a motion on the floor. She did get a motion on the order paper, but it will be months before it is
actually brought to the attention of parliament. Meanwhile, despite imminent hardship looming for the people of her riding she wasted her two most recent members statements; considering it more important to bully the Liberal
Party than make a statement to the House of Commons highlighting the plight of people like my father. Yes there are wars on, and violent outbreaks of diseases, but there are also domestic issues which we cannot forget about.

CSC has not yet closed any acute care beds for mentally ill offenders. Notwithstanding, it is clear from the letter that the service is considering transferring resources from acute care to intermediate care. This means that while a bed would not be “closed,” it would be re-purposed and no longer available for in-patient acute care. I support efforts of the correctional service to finally fund the intermediate care component of its mental health strategy, but I am concerned if it does so at the expense of its already burdened acute care capacity.
Sadly Mrs. Gallant, the Government, and the press have overlooked the domestic human issues. Brendan Edge Arnprior (McGill University).
Beware: zombies to lurch along Arnprior streets Saturday Darkness falls across the land The walking hour is close at hand Creatures crawl in search of food To fill bellies in our neighbourhood. News – It’s a ghoulish good time for a vital organization in the community. The third annual Zombie walk in support of the Arnprior and District Food Bank overtakes area streets and Arnprior’s downtown core this Saturday, Oct. 25. Registration begins at 4 p.m. with the walk to stumble out from the Arnprior Fire Hall on Meehan Street at 5 p.m. Once again zombie and victim attire will be judged this year with prizes donated by local businesses. But organizers have stepped things up this year. In addition to the walk and costume contest, they are introducing a “mouthwatering, delicious bake table” to raise additional funds and are inviting local vendors and crafters to participate. Also new this year, F.A.E. Photography will be on site for zombie photo shoots with the money raised also being directed to the local food bank. The event is simply not possible without hard working and dedicated volunteers as well as the community business partners who donate generously each year. “With your continued support we can keep full bellies while having a little living-dead fun this Halloween season,” says organizer and Zombie Queen Tina Carr. For more information contact Carr, the owner of Jessica Cunha/Metroland CHRIS KYTE/ F.A.E.

Retiring firefighter thanked Arnprior council and fire department officials gather at town hall to express gratitude to Francis Herbert. Herbert has retired after 40 years as a volunteer firefighter. Mayor David Reid said not only has Herbert been with the department since 1972, throughout the years he has been a member of various groups and helped raise money for a number of projects. Chief John Okum also recognized the sacrifice made by Herbert’s family and friends, along with their support. “Take some time to appreciate the gratitude,” Okum said. Herbert said it has been an honour and privilege, and that he didn’t view it as a challenge, only an enjoyment.

Colette Lavallee of Peneshula Road in the Cedar Cove area of White Lake has had what she thought might be an albino deer visiting her property. This photo of the visitor was taken Oct. 9. Nature’s Way columnist Michael Runtz called the deer a “stunning animal,” but noted it is not an albino, but a leucsitic, which is still highly unusual.

in its pupal stage. The sharp point protruding from one end is the cremaster, which is used in spring to help the pupa dig its way to the surface where the moth can emerge. Whether an insect spends the winter as an adult, larva, or pupa, it must prevent its cellular water from freezing. Many use antifreeze (usually glycerol) to accomplish this. A few let ice form between the cells, a process called freeze-tolerance. Other insects including Praying Mantids and Walking Sticks spend the winter in the egg stage. This means that any adults of those insects you see now are doomed when subzero temperatures arrive. As tragic as that may seem, it is simply Nature’s Way.

Rec plan in the works Mayor David Reid points out a few details during the most recent recreation master plan workshop. At the Nick Smith Centre to find out more are Russ Corbett and Sylvia Patterson. The series of meetings are laying the foundation for consultants to recommend a long-term strategy when it comes to the town’s recreation facilities and parklands. Everything from modernizing the sports complex to converting a ball field at McLean Park to soccer pitches is being discussed. Log onto the town’s website at Arnprior.ca to find out more. The final recommendations will be unveiled Nov. 10 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre, prior to council voting on them at its meeting that day.
News - Soldiers from the 2 Mechanized Brigade Group Head Quarters and Signals Squadron are conducting road moves throughout Renfrew County through to Friday, Oct. 31. The soldiers are travelling on main roads in both the urban and rural areas of communities from Petawawa to Renfrew as part of Exercise Hermes Reach. Military vehicles and troops may be seen participating in a scenario-based activity that will include the establishment of a headquarters and the provision of security around its perimeter. All soldiers will be carrying their weapons but there will be no live ammunition.

Further OPP investigation led to the execution of a search warrant at a Pembroke home on Oct. 12 in which electronic devices were seized containing images of child sexual abuse. Police arrested the man and charged him with one count of possession of child pornography and one count of making arrangement or agreement to commit a sexual offence against a child. The accused will make a first appearance in Pembroke Court on Nov. 4. In the second case, police executed a search warrant at a Petawawa home after receiving information an individual was accessing and in possession of child pornography. As a result of the investigation, police seized one computer and related computer equipment, which they allege contained images and movies of child sexual abuse. The man was arrested Oct. 16.

Warden to make clean shave for Movember County urges province to protect continued logging in Algonquin Park activities in the park.” As well, the county is dubious about the Commissioner’s maintaining that logging could be abolished from the park within a decade without any jobs being lost. Sweet reports that his committee has recommended to County Council that they request the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry not consider the Commissioner’s recommendation to end commercial logging in Algonquin Park. JOBS IN PARK
County Warden Peter Emon echoed Sweet’s message, noting, “seven communities in Renfrew County have substantial employment related to the forest industry and wood processing facilities that receive approximately 40 per cent of the wood volume from Algonquin Park. “Many of these businesses are multi-generational, with the longest running in its seventh generation, and are heavily invested in the sustainability of forestry in Algonquin
Park,” he added. “There are more than 2,700 jobs directly associated with wood harvesting from Algonquin Park with another 8,000 indirect jobs that support these activities. “This recommendation, if accepted by the province, will be quite harmful to all communities in the county, as the forestry industry’s economic reach extends into our towns as an employer, as a consumer and as a supplier of primary and value-added wood products.” The Ontario Forest Industries Association has contacted the Office of the Premier to ask that the province move to permanently protect sustainable forest management in Algonquin Park at the approved planned harvest volume level of 750,000 cubic metres, providing certainty, security and room to grow for the more than 10,000 direct and indirect jobs that this renewable natural resource supports. The County of Renfrew says it “supports and echoes this position.” R0012957274/1023
News – Renfrew County officials have joined RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski in expressing concern about a push to phase out logging in Algonquin Provincial Park In his recently released annual report, Gord Miller, the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, recommends that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry publically commit to the end of commercial logging in the park. “The report does not explicitly state how current forest management negatively impacts ecological integrity or biodiversity, and leans heavily on the argument that it (logging) should simply not be allowed in any provincial park,” says Bob Sweet, chair of the county’s development and property committee, in a news release. “The report makes these recommendations from a position that appears to lack proper consideration of the science, research and social and economical opportunities that currently exist in the practices surrounding wood harvesting

News – Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon is stepping up and shaving it off again this year in support of the global ‘Movember’ campaign. During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in Canada and around the world. The goal is to raise vital funds and increase awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental wellness. During a break in the Oct. 29 County council meeting, Emon will shave his facial hair and begin anew to grow a moustache in support of the Movember campaign. Each year nearly 24,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed in Canada and close to 4,000 Canadian men die of the disease every year. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian men and is the second largest cause of male cancer deaths in Canada.
The good news is if detected and treated early, there is a 95 per cent survival rate. Emon hopes that his example of participating in Movember will help alleviate some of the fears men have about getting checked and further increase awareness and support from county residents in the fight against prostate cancer.

Landowners join environmentalists to resist pipeline Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – Environmental groups and First Nations are finding alliances in unlikely places when it comes to a company’s plans to ship oil through several Ottawa Valley municipalities. That was the key message from Sabrina Bowman of the Toronto-based Environmental Defence, who recently spoke against TransCanada’s proposed Energy East project at the Galilee Centre in Arnprior. The proposal is to convert a 40-year-old natural gas pipeline to carry unrefined oil from the Alberta Tar Sands to destinations in Quebec and New Brunswick for sale on international markets. The converted oil pipeline would pass under the Bonnechere, Madawaska, Mississippi and Rideau rivers. Pipeline approvals such as TransCanada’s Keystone XL have trampled on private property rights in the U.S., Bowman said, meaning the company has gone to court and seized access to ranchers’ land using a legal tool called “eminent domain.� It has led to a cheeky tagline for the opposition: The cowboys and Indians alliance. “We are seeing massive public outcry (to Energy East) and they haven’t even filed their paperwork yet,� Bowman said. “People are seeing it as a democratic issue. They are not being allowed to get involved in something that could affect their community.� The Conservative government has vowed to turn Canada into an energy powerhouse, and gutted many environmental regulations and silenced opponents by fast-tracking approval processes, she said. Its support of oil companies is no secret, Bowman added, but grassroots resistance is growing. “B.C. is an incredible inspiration when it
came to the Northern Gateway project. And it all had to do with you talking to your neighbours,� Bowman said. “They will listen to you.� As for formal ways to voice opposition to Energy East, there are few. Only the provincial government will have a direct say to the decision-making SABRINA BOWMAN authority, the National Energy Board. Municipalities and individuals will not. Hence those at the Arnprior meeting were encouraged to sign a petition destined for Queen’s Park. Bowman suggested the Liberal government will oppose the project if it gets enough resistance. ENERGY EAST BENEFITS
Although no TransCanada representatives spoke at the meeting, some of their literature was offered. It referred to the contribution Canada’s oil and gas sector makes to the economy: more than 500,000 jobs; over $20 billion in government tax revenues; 20 per cent of the value of the Toronto Stock Exchange. On safety it points to converting a section of the Canadian Mainline for the Keystone Pipeline, which “has safely delivered more than 550 million barrels of oil to the U.S.� since it began operating in July 2010. It has converted or constructed other pipelines in six provinces. It also has spent an average of $900 million per year over the last three years on pipeline integrity and preventative
maintenance programs to protect pipeline systems and energy facilities. On minimizing environmental impact, TransCanada mentions working with pipes already in the ground, and that most new pump stations will be installed at existing compressor stations. Its pamphlets mention securing energy independence for Canada, meaning no more buying oil from Saudi Arabia and other countries holding non-western values. On the last point, speakers at the Arnprior meeting said Canada doesn’t have the capacity to refine Tar Sands oil, and that globalization rules force the sale of oil to the highest bidder. That means most or all will be sold to international markets. When it comes to the environment, Environmental Defence calculates converting from natural gas to “dirty oil� will equate to adding 7 million more cars on the roads. Duncan Noble of the Valley Climate Circle said Canada made an international promise to reduce greenhouse gases by 17 per cent from its 2005 levels by 2020. Until there’s a plan to fulfill that promise, he doesn’t want to see the oil sands expanded. “Until we have a strategy to meet our climate change goals, I don’t want to see your pipeline plans,� Noble said. “Is it responsible to write off our hopes and dreams for pipelines and profits? I don’t think so.� When it comes to safety, Kathy Lindsay of the Bonnechere River Watershed Project worries about a pipeline spill affecting communities such as Renfrew. TransCanada promised its original Keystone pipeline would spill only once in seven years. In the first year of the pipeline’s operation, it spilled 12 times, she said. In a recent explosion on the natural gas pipe-

217$5,2 3$66(6 1(: &2 $/$50 /$:
line system destined to be converted, a massive fireball resulted. McNab-Braeside council candidate Mark MacKenzie, who is past president of the federal Green party, was the only politician to attend the event. He said the pipeline that will pass across the Madawaska within 100 yards of his home - west of the Stewartville dam - isn’t guaranteed to spill, but it’s not worth taking a chance. “Spills are very devastating. They are remote but catastrophic because you can’t clean them up,� MacKenzie said. “We need to get together to oppose sending this oil right through our backyards to other countries. It’s good for the one per cent. They’ll make money off the oil. But it’s way too risky for the rest of us.� Opponents say 80 per cent of pipeline spills over the last three years were spotted by people before TransCanada’s monitors. When it comes to the economy, Ole Hendrickson of the Ottawa River Institute said for every $1 million spent, green energy projects create 15 jobs, oil and gas just two. More importantly, governments should stop the massive subsidies given to the oil sector and direct that money elsewhere, he said. Then there are the economic opportunities of the future and getting ahead of the competition. “Renewable fuels are going to have to replace fossil fuels if we are going to deal with climate change,� he said. The environmentalists were asked how to convince climate change deniers that the threats are real and changes are already underway. They responded that it challenges their fundamental beliefs about the benefits of free market economies, so there is no point trying to reason with them.

ADHS rugby girls gear up for playoffs with big win Sports - The Arnprior District High School girls rugby team keeps rolling along piling up lopside victories in Upper Ottawa Valley play. ADHS ran its record to 4-0 by defeating Mackenzie 77-0 Oct. 16 at Dochart Park. The team’s performance in the first half was its best of the season, reports coach Glenn Wallace. “We did a superb job of controlling the tempo of the game and our execution was outstand-
ing in all aspects, staking us to a 52-0 lead at the half.” ADHS was scheduled to host Opeongo Tuesday (after press deadline) in its final regular season match at Dochart Park.

Win under the lights gives ADHS first place in football Sports – The Arnprior District High School senior boys football team put itself in the driver’s seat in the battle for first place in the Renfrew division with a 21-0 win over Fellowes Falcons Oct. 16. The game, the only evening game in the schedule this season, was played under the lights in Pembroke before
a large crowd. With the win, ADHS exacted revenge for its only loss so far this season, a 23-16 defeat to Fellowes in Arnprior’s second game of the season. Special teams were key to the Redmen victory. Neil Mosley and Alex Couture ran back punts to stake Arnprior to a 14-0 lead in the first half.
A three-yard touchdown run by Coleman Orenstein sealed the victory in the fourth quarter. Keaton Beale added converts to each of the three touchdowns. The win put ADHS into undisputed first place with a 4-1 record, with Fellowes dropping to 3-2. After starting out strongly

with a 26-7 win over RCI in Renfrew, the team came up short to Fellowes in its second game. However, the Redmen have improved greatly since with wins 14-4 over Mackenzie, 10-3 over RCI in the Turkey Bowl and 21-0 over Fellowes. ADHS swept the Turkey Bowl on their own turf, as the Juniors thumped RCI 47-14. The Seniors were to wrap up their regular season in Deep River Wednesday with a game against Mackenzie. If they were to win that contest, they will host the Renfrew County championship game Friday, Oct. 31.
The Redmen have games against Notre Dame of Carleton Place and Smiths Falls before the playoffs begin Nov. 4.

Robert Fleck and Bruce Bennet pass over the town of Arnprior in a vintage 1941 Tiger Moth. Bennet, who lives in Rockcliffe, had never flown in a plane before signing up to join the Air Force. After 125
hours in the air, he was sent to navigation school, a 20-week course that started at 8 every morning and often didn’t fin-
ish until midnight. “It was extremely intense,” said Bennet, who enlisted at age 18 after years as an air
cadet. He was given a conditional discharge towards the end of 1945; if he was needed in the
Pacific, he would have to be ready to go at a moment’s notice. He spent two weeks towards the end of the war in New York City with a number of his comrades. “New York City was euphoric at that time with the indication that the war would be over,” he said. See EVERY, page 33

News - Bruce Bennet’s face split into a grin as he taxied into the Carp airport. “Oh God, it was so thrilling,” said the 90-year-old veteran. Bennet, a pilot officer during the Second World War, took to the skies in a vintage 1941 Tiger Moth on Oct. 10 for a joyride over West Carleton and Arnprior – home to two of the 105 airports built during the war. The Tiger Moth was used for training during the Second World War. The vintage plane is now owned by pilot Robert Fleck, a former military jet fighter pilot who flies for Air Canada. Before the Second World War there were only 235 trained pilots in the country, said Fleck, a history buff and former president of Vintage Wing Canada. Thanks to the British Commonwealth Air Training Program, 50,000 pilots and 210,000 crew were trained in four years. “Most of them would have had their first flight ever in a Tiger Moth,” said Fleck, who lives in Centrepointe.

‘Every moment was thrilling’: Bennet Continued from page 31
The group never paid for a single drink, accommodations were 50 cents a day and free activities were provided to allied troops. Bennet’s 85th birthday present was a flight in a Tiger Moth. “It was a gorgeous day,” he said. “My prime birthday gift could be nothing better than a flight in a Tiger Moth.” The family contacted Vintage Wing to see if they could repeat the flight and on Oct. 10, after three re-scheduled flights due to stormy weather, Fleck and Bennet were soaring a few
thousand feet over the city, tailed by pilot Ulrich Bollinger, of North Gower, and myself in another aircraft. The two planes alternated between performing fighting manoeuvres and flying in formation over West Carleton and Arnprior. Bollinger, who flew fighter jets overseas with Fleck, provided a running commentary of the various moves he performed, like how to dive an enemy aircraft, shoot it down and avoid becoming a target. Back on the ground, Bennet said it was another flight he’d never forget. “Every moment was thrilling.”

One special Saturday night was reserved for some pre-Christmas magic It was a Saturday, but week. No, this night would be there would be no ‘Satur- extra special. Because Mother, day night house party’ that Audrey and I would sit at the kitchen table and go through Eaton’s catalogue, page by page, and pick out our winter order. Father seemed to take forever at the supper table. He poured his green tea into his saucer, and sat back in his chair waiting for it to cool off. Why didn’t he take it over to the oven door and sip it there? He’d soon be there anyway, pouring through the Ottawa Farm Journal. But no, he sat there like he had all the time in the world. I ushered all the dishes to the other end of the old pine table, Audrey brought over the dish pan full of hot water, and it looked very much like we were going to have to work around him. I let out great sighs, and 290 DANIEL ST. S, ARNPRIOR wiped the red checked oilcloth within a fraction of his saucer, but that did little to hurry up Father. Finally! He was finished!

At the back of the catalogue was the order form. Mother had already filled in the blanks on where the order was to be sent, and all that was needed was a list of the items we would be choosing. We would start at the front, as usual. But we had no interest in corsets, so Mother quickly 236 MADAWASKA BLVD., ARNPRIOR the moved on to dresses, blouses,

Then Mother would ask which pail or tin I thought looked the best ... and I would agonize over the pictures, rubbing my finger down the page from the top to the bottom, finally settling on one that had hard candies of every shape and size. And I would see Mother write the number on the order form in front of her. And I would be filled with the utmost joy. Real Christmas candy! Could there be anything more wonderful? At the very bottom of the order, Mother would print three letters ... C.O.D. That meant the order would be either delivered by the mailman, at which time Mother would have to come up with the money to pay for it, or it would go to Briscoe’s General Store. It would be many years later that I would learn that if the order went to the store, and Mr. Briscoe knew Mother might not have all the money to pay for her Eaton’s order, he would simply add it to her bill, and she paid it off, bit by bit, when she could. True Christmas spirit prevailed back then, many weeks before that magic time came about. And it all started around the old pine table and Eaton’s catalogue, and culminated when it arrived at Northcote, either Jack & Faiths delivered by our mailman, or with a phone call from Mr. Briscoe that the parcel of treasures had arrived.

Mother just wrote down a number, and that was all there was to it! And then there were the pages devoted to Christmas. This, without a doubt, was my very favourite part of the catalogue. There were pages of decorations, packages of tinsel, and Christmas lights for those lucky enough to have electricity. There would be no entries in the order form from those pages, I knew for a fact. But Mother knew how much I loved that section, and so she let me run my fingers down the pages, and in my mind’s eye, I would pretend the Christmas balls, the fancy wrapping paper, and rolls of ribbons, which for some reason only came in red, green and navy blue, would be added to the list. And then closer to the back of the catalogue were pages of Christmas candy. It came in colourful tins and pails, and I was sure I could smell the peppermint and the caramel right off the pictures. The tins and pails were tilted over, spilling out the candies, and each piece looked like you could pick it right off the page.

and skirts. Even though my sister Audrey looked longingly at the skirts with pleats, she knew better than to ask for one. Any new skirt would come right out of one of Uncle Jack’s dress suits that came regularly in the handme-down box from Regina. And so Mother moved on to the underwear. There were the hateful navy blue fleece-lined bloomers! I got a new pair of them every winter, because there wasn’t much left to them by the time winter was over. She wrote down the number and size, and moved on to the combination underwear. Audrey had long since grown out of long underwear, but I had a few years to go. And I loved the feel of the soft downy combinations that came with the faintest mauve lines in the material, and I was happy to see that a set had joined the list on the order form. We worked our way through the catalogue … me, ‘oohing and awing’ over the bolts of material, the shoes, and, of course, the galoshes with the fur trim ... just like the ones bad Marguirite wore to the Northcote School. My galoshes were hand-medowns from Audrey ... simple black rubber ones with clamp hooks down the front. They wore the look of many years of hard wear ... with patches upon patches Father had put on, much the same way as when he fixed the inner tubes of the Model T Ford. My three brothers were each to get a new plaid flannelette shirt to wear to school. They had no choice in the pattern or

News - Attention all living Second World War veterans: The federal government wants to honour you. This year, to recognize the 75th anniversary of Canada’s participation in the war between 1939 and 1945, its veterans are eligible to receive a special commemorative tribute. Canadians who served at least one day with Canadian Armed Forces, or with any other Allied force including the Canadian or British Merchant Navy, either at home or abroad, during the Second World War are eligible to receive a special commemorative lapel pin and certificate. In this area, Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is asking veterans, or friends or family on their behalf, to contact her constituency office so she can make sure everyone is properly recognized. With a population of some 11 million in 1939, Canada’s contribution to the Second World War was disproportionately large. More than one million Canadians and Newfoundlanders served, with more than 55,000 wounded and over 45,000 giving their lives. While many veterans have died, it is estimated that there are about 80,000 Canadian Second World War Veterans alive today. The design of the commemorative pin and the illustration on the certificate are based on the original ‘Victory Nickel,’ which features a flaming torch and a large ‘V’ standing both for victory and the coin’s denomination. The coin was originally in circulation from 1943 to 1945 and was reissued in 2005 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of victory in Europe Day. Ceremonies are being held in conjunction with Canada’s World Wars Commemoration period, which was launched in August to mark the Centennial of the First World War. Between now and 2020, the federal government will organize and support events and initiatives that pay homage to the many Canadians and Newfoundlanders who served during the World Wars, and will recognize the enduring legacy of the historical events. “I join my colleagues across the country in recognizing the tremendous contributions of those who courageously defended our shared values of peace and freedom in the Second World War,” said Gallant. “Through this tribute, we are remembering and honouring those who served in this conflict with pride and appreciation.”

New executive director takes over at Galilee Centre Sherry Haaima
sherry.haaima@metroland.com
News – Arnprior’s Galilee Retreat Centre welcomed a new executive director this fall. Jessica Hetherington was introduced and welcomed at a staff and volunteer appreciation day at the centre in September. Hetherington is a theologian with a PhD from Saint Paul University, where she continues to teach part-time. The married mother of four children is very pleased to be joining the team at Galilee Centre. Hetherington was first introduced to the centre a number of years ago when she presented a workshop at the facility. “I was then, and continue to be, impressed by the vision and mission of Galilee, and by the staff and volunteers who help to live out such vision and mission on a daily basis,� said Hetherington. She and her family worship at Riverside United Church in
Ottawa, which she describes as a loving, spirit-filled place that supports her and helps to recharge her spiritual batteries every week. When it comes to hobbies, she does some knitting when she can find the time and loves to go hiking and camping with her family. The beautiful setting of Galilee, which sits next to an old growth forest overlooking the Ottawa River, is one of the things that drew Hetherington. “My area of work is eco-theology, which is about the theological responses to the ecological crisis and our place in creation,� she said. Hetherington’s research focuses on the question of discipleship and how Christians live out their faith in the world. “I am drawn to an ecumenical and interfaith vision of community, in which people of diverse perspectives work together, pray together and seek to understand one another in a complex world,� she said.

Corporate challenge leads to improved employee health Sherry Haaima
sherry.haaima@metroland.com
News – It was another award-winning year for Sandvik employees involved in the Global Corporate Challenge (GCC). The program is a 100-day virtual journey around the globe. In teams of seven, employees track daily activity and work towards a daily target of 10,000 steps, with their step entries unlocking new locations along the way. GCC participants are supported by a website, apps and other promotions. Sandvik hosted a special awards ceremony Oct. 15 to celebrate the program’s success. GCC’s Sarah Schuster connected via a telelink and congratulated Sandvik on the overwhelming success of this year’s challenge. HIGH STEPPING
The company once again received the trophy for the highest step average in Canada. With average daily steps of 19,372, Sandvik almost doubled the daily recommended goal of 10,000. “Your daily step average was just astounding,” said Schuster. “You guys blew it out of the park.” Sandvik’s group burned a total of 3,627,399 calories and logged an estimated total weight loss of 225 pounds. The challenge kicked off May 28 and 49 of Sandvik’s about 200 employees took part on seven teams. Around the world, 285,000 people from 1,200 companies in 185 countries participated in the challenge. Spirit awards, which recognize those who wholeheartedly embrace and embody what the challenge is all about and support and motivate others, were given to Julie Recoskie, Doug Newton, Marco Ibarra, Steve
Steinke, Sherri Steele, Donna Hisko, John Dubois and John Healey. Healey, an 18-year employee from Barrhaven, epitomizes what the challenge is all about, said McLaren. “He is a true champion of the Global Corporate Challenge,” said McLaren. Healey said the GCC was just the boost he needed to take the next step towards better health. “I needed a check on my personal health and I used this as a catalyst to get moving on getting healthy,” said Healey, who is a production co-ordinator at Sandvik. “I think this was just a really good opportunity to change the way I was living.” When all was said and done, Healey had lost 35 pounds, was able to complete a 21.1-kilometre half marathon and improved his blood pressure from a high normal to an optimum level. Healey’s journey to better health started out in April and he began by taking more steps and counting them. “I just started walking at lunch and then after work, I’d take the dog for a walk. Then in May I started running,” he said. “By the end of the summer I ran 21.1 kilometres, a half marathon, in two hours and 22 minutes.”

Candice Cobus was recognized for a personal best. Brian Dunbar, a GCC champion who had promised $20 to those who rose to the challenge, hands over the loot.
RESULTS
Julie Recoskie, Sue McLaren and Candice Cobus were recognized for personal bests. Top 10 fundraisers are Brian Dunbar, Ernie Millar, Manny Daigle, Sherri Steele, Sue McLaren, Karen James, Marco Ibarra, Bill Gillies, Julie Recoskie and John Dubois. Winning team, captained by Bill Gillies, is Denise Truscotte, Roger Whilhelm, John Dubois, Karen James, Brian Bennett and Ernie Millar.
Have Your Say – Protecting Energy Consumers
Ontario Energy Commission de l’énergie Board de l’Ontario
How well are consumers protected in Ontario’s retail energy market? That’s the question the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is looking at with its review of the Energy Consumer Protection Act. The Act deals with energy retailing to low-volume consumers in the province. Just over 300 thousand residential and small business consumers in Ontario currently have contracts with electricity retailers; 362,000 have contracts with natural gas marketers.

Stitt seeks French public trustee position STELLA CALLIGHEN/SUBMITTED
Walter Zadow students urge you to drop off e-waste at their depot in the three-day fundraiser that begins today (Thursday) and runs through Saturday at the school’s parking lot.
E-waste fundraiser for WZPS News – Starting today (Thursday) for three days, bring your unwanted TVs, DVD players, computers, printers, etc. to Walter Zadow Public School. The school and OES (Ontario Electronic Stewardship) are hosting an e-waste fundraiser and public collection event in the school park-
OVER
ing lot at 79 Ottawa St., Arnprior. Drop off times are Thursday, Oct. 23 4-7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 24 4-7 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 25 10 a.m.-2 p.m. To see what’s recyclable, check out.recycleyourelectronics.ca or call 613-622-0133. Proceeds towards the Playground Fund at the school.
News – Colette Stitt is seeking another term as trustee representing Renfrew and Lanark counties and South Algonquin Township on the French Public School Board of Eastern Ontario. Stitt, who lives in Carleton Place, has been a school board trustee for 26 years, the last 16 with the French board (Conseil des écoles publiques de l’Est de l’Ontario). As a result, “I know the politics, the programs, the services, the functioning of the Board and the territory,” she says. She is up against AECL employee Andre Yonkeu of Pembroke in the election Oct. 27.
COLETTE STITT In a news release, Stitt says her main goal is the success and the well-being of the students. She chairs the French board’s special education advisory Committee,
committee on Aboriginal education, and committee of appeals and hearings on the suspension or expulsion of students. She is a member of the Minister’s Advisory Council on First Nations, Métis and Inuit’s Education. In 1999, she was part of the decision-making to open the elementary and secondary Public School L’Équinoxe in Pembroke, with a special high skills major program, daycare, before-and-after school childcare, and community centre. She says she attends all the activities organized by the school, school council, students and parents, as
well as events at the other 37 schools in the territory and also at the board in Ottawa. “I am a good listener and take into consideration the concerns of the parents, students and the members of the communities,” she says. In the near future, the board foresees opening a French Public School for the students of Carleton Place and the surrounding communities, she notes. “I aim for a French public education of high quality; it’s a passion for me,” she adds. “I have years of experience, I am devoted at 100 per cent to reach my objectives.”

A lot off the top St. Joseph’s Catholic School teacher Jenny Solar has a new look courtesy of student and staff support for a unique fundraiser recently held at the school. Solar and her Grade 7 students got talking about the ‘Who I am’ program and how people’s appearances matter little and everyone is deserving of respect and the fundraiser was born. The end result of the efforts was $250 for the school’s Food for Learning program and a brand new look for Through a draw process, several students won the chance to help out with the haircut. Solar.

St. Joe’s beefs up food bank shelves Friday, Oct. 17 was a very special day at St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Arnprior. Students and staff made a presentation of 1,599 food items to the Arnprior and District Food Bank. Nancy Brisson’s Grade 1-2 class, seen above, collected the most items with 204. Food bank president Kathy Tonkin and a team of volunteers were on hand to thank students and pack the donation into waiting vehicles. “Thank you very much, each and every one of you,” said Tonkin. “We appreciate your compassion, your generosity and you helping us fulfill the need.” Following the food bank presentation, teacher Jenny Solar had her head shaved as part of a Food for Learning fundraiser.

Music fit for a pope Local fiddler Kyle Felhaver and pianist Cheryl Mielke entertain prior to a special ceremony Oct. 9 to officially rename St. John XXIII Catholic School in Arnprior. Also singing during the gathering were the school’s choir. The renaming, during the school’s 50th anniversary year, was in response to the April cannonization of Pope John XXIII. A number of special guests attended, including Fr. John Burchat, Renfrew County Catholic school trustee Andy Bray and board chair Bob Michaud, all of whom were effusive in their praise of the school and its students.

Fur and feathers at Emmanuel Anglican Church Emmanuel Anglican Church hosted its second annual Blessing of the Animals service on Oct. 5. The custom is conducted in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi’s love for all creatures. The majority of animals whose owners brought them to be blessed by Cannon Roger Young were dogs, but there were a few feathered friends in the mix. New Lutheran minister Norine Gullons assisted Young for the ceremony. Above left, Michael and Jennifer Kucharik and their German Shepherd Scotty are blessed. Above right, Shirley-Ann Kucharik and Spock enter the church.

Steps to ensure a pet friendly Halloween Pet Talk
IAN STUPP
on the night of Halloween. Pranksters can tease, hurt or even kill your animal at this time of the year. * If dressing your pet up in costume, make sure it is lightweight and non-constricting. It should be loose enough that your pet can easily get out of. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use rubber bands, as they
can constrict blood ďŹ&#x201A;ow if too tight and can become entangled in an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fur. Also, get your pet used to the costume several days before Halloween and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force them to wear it if they rebel. Never leave a pet in costume unattended. They could chew it up and ingest harmful materials or become entangled and choke. * If you are escorting children for trick-or-treating, leave your pets at home. Dogs can get excited and stressed when encountering all these â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;strangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; creatures and may become agitated enough to snap at a young child. If you must take your dog with, keep it on a short leash and away from large groups of children and other pets. * Halloween candy is for humans, not animals. Do not give your pets any candy, especially chocolate. Candy in itself can make your pet sick and chocolate is especially toxic to dogs.
* Cellophane wrappers, foil papers and lollipop sticks can be hazardous to your pet if swallowed by causing intestinal obstructions and even perforating the intestines, which is lifethreatening. * Keep your pets away from lit candles. They can easily knock them over causing a ďŹ re. Cats and kittens are especially curious and could accidentally burn themselves if they get too close to an open ďŹ&#x201A;ame. * Make sure your pets have collars and identiďŹ cation tags just in case they do manage to get outside. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to a hauntingly safe Halloween! Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North, Arnprior.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Most boils, ghouls and adults look forward to Halloween fun, costumes and trickor-treating. But this particular holiday can prove to be a stressful and potentially hazardous time for your pets. Here are some tips to keep your pets safe during this Halloween season: * Loud noises can easily excite and frighten pets. Dogs in particular can often feel threatened by strangers appearing at the door in strange costumes. If possible, keep your pets secured in a separate room in your house while young trick-or-treaters are ringing your doorbell. If you decide to let your pets be â&#x20AC;&#x153;part of the action,â&#x20AC;? keep a close eye on them so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suddenly make a break for the open door and run away. * Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave your pets outside on Halloween night. Cats especially should be kept indoors several days prior to and

Where do we start, the list is endless…. We wish that we could thank each and every one of you for the support you have given us and for the goal of bringing more awareness to Lyme Disease.

A huge, special thank you to Charlene Riopelle and Valerie Blimkie and the rest of our families and friends for their tireless efforts. We thank you for the Fundraiser event, walk/sponsors, garage sale/bake sale, all in support of us. Thank you to the entertainment provided by DayBreak, The Riley New Band and Tyler Miller. We thank Ruth Collins, Steve St. Michael (Mill Music), Dan & Julie Rogers (Renfrew Pizzeria), Margie Bond for preparation of food and Stephanie Mask for the cakes and to all who brought food. Greg Zawidzki for creating posters and Monnie Dubois (Regal Gifts). We thank businesses, artists, craft persons and individuals for their donations.

would like to extend their deepest appreciation to family, friends and neighbours for their kindness and support during the recent loss of our family Patriarch Leonard. To the many people who took the time to comfort the family and who stood in line for many hours to pay their respects at Leonard’s wake and celebration of life, we would like you to know that your presence touched us deeply. A sincere thank you to the Knights of Columbus for their prayer service. The presence of the OPP Honour Guard as well as the escort during the funeral procession was a gesture of respect that will never be forgotten by the family. A warm thank you is extended to Father Starks for the beautiful words spoken at the mass as well as the grave site. We were deeply grateful for the beautiful music provided by the St Patrick’s Parish choir and organist. To the pall bearers: Chris, Mike, Ryan, Rob, Jim and Nicholas, thank you for assisting Leonard on his final journey. We were very grateful for the delicious luncheon that was provided by the ladies at the DACA Center. A special thank you to Mr Bill McAdam for the deeply moving eulogy. Your stories helped everyone present to gain a deeper understanding of the man that Leonard was and how very much he will be missed. Thank you also, to Mr. John Yakabuski for his expression of sympathy and for taking the time to share Leonard’s political history, which delighted those present. The food nourished our bodies while the time there gave us time to raise our spirits, while sharing and reminiscing about Leonard’s life amongst family and friends. For those who cared for Leonard during his time at the Bonnechere Manor, the many nurses and friends that made his stay there a comfortable one,we cannot thank you enough. For those that visited, your time was the greatest gift you could have given and Leonard deeply appreciated each and every conversation. We want to express gratitude to Dr. DiPaolo and the nursing staff at Bonnechere Manor who cared for Leonard with kindness and compassion. To all those that kindly made donations in Leonard’s memory to the Bonnechere Manor and St Patrick’s Parish, thank you. Finally to the Goulet Funeral Home. Thank you for your kindness, professionalism and compassion. Dad’s strong Irish devotion to his faith, family and his community served him well and taught us to live our lives in a similar manner. “MAY ST PATRICK GUARD YOU WHEREVER YOU GO, AND GUIDE YOU IN WHATEVER YOU DO… AND MAY HIS LOVING PROTECTION BE A BLESSING TO YOU ALWAYS” Michael and Pat Quilty and Families

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, October 23, 2014 27
Comedy celebrating joys of small-town coming to south end of county Arts – The Ottawa Valley’s theatre company - Stone Fence Theatre - is coming to the south end of the county for two performances of its original hit musical comedy G’day, We’re from the Valley, EH! The show, a collection of humourous songs and sketches that celebrate the joys of rural living and make a strong case for it, will play the Renfrew Legion this Sunday, Oct. 26 and Nov. 1. On Oct. 26, there will be a Sunday dinner show at 1 p.m., and on Nov. 1, there will be a Saturday supper show at 6 p.m. The show was written last winter by company producer Ish Theilheimer with the collaboration of a number of crew members, especially the show’s director, Chantal Elie-Sernoskie. “The show is kind of like Corner Gas meets Monty Python meets Second City,” says ElieSernoskie, a graduate of the Ryerson University Theatre
ISH THEILHEIMER/SUBMITTED
The cast members of Stone Fence Theatre’s G’day, We’re from the Valley, EH! include, from left in front, John Haslam, Maureen McCoy, the ubiquitous elk, Fran Pinkerton; and in back Ish Theilheimer, Ambrose Mullin, Peter Brown, Chantal Elie-Sernoskie, Camille McLean, Philip Hoffman and Robin Pinkerton. Arts program. She grew up in Embrum and lives in Barry’s Bay. “It’s a lot of fun, and we’ve got a superb cast.” “I really like the collabora-
tive element of our company,” says Theilheimer. “We’re not afraid to bash ideas around and take chances. Sometimes they work well.”
G’day, We’re from the Valley, EH! consists of comic sketches and songs about modern Ottawa Valley and rural life. The show’s 10 cast
members play a variety of characters with a recurring theme, that contrary to stereotype, rural life has a lot to offer younger adults, as well as older ones. “While the show features lots of traditional music, our crew has also taken some musical chances, including blues, rock and even a rap number,” says Theilheimer. “What’s great is how well our traditionally-minded audience responded at shows throughout the summer. They proved the point of the show - that Valley people have a canny and sophisticated view of the world outsiders don’t always get.” The show begins with the story of Killaloe’s Delmer Hartwig, who won $15 million in a lottery last fall but shocked big-city reporters by delaying picking up his winnings until after a planned elkhunting trip. From there, the cast romps
through scene after scene drawn from modern Valley life. The audience will meet seasonally employed local contractors who have other responsibilities in winter such as watching their wives play hockey and doing child care. They will see the bonds of matrimony strained at the local curling club. The show lampoons smart phones, cheap imported junk and other socalled conveniences of modern life, and even takes the audience to Blues Tuesday in Wilno 100 years from now. It includes a rap number called ‘Don’t Get My Valley Up!’ To promote the show, the company has made a YouTube video based on this number. Tickets, including a fullcourse, Ottawa Valley-style roast beef dinner, cost $44 and are available from Stone Fence Theatre on its website, www.stonefence.ca , or from the box office toll-free at 1866-310-1004.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! 1023
