Town LEDs the way to savings Arnprior could cut up to $86,000 in annual costs Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – Replacing streetlights with LED bulbs could prove a bright idea for saving money and the environment, Arnprior council learned at its Oct. 28 meeting. Council was told the retrofit would cost the town $400,000, but could save about $86,000 annually. Councillors agreed to let the multinational company RealTerm Energy study the profitability of replacing many of the town’s 740 streetlight fixtures with cost-efficient LED fixtures. The company will cover the $15,000 study. But if it proves unviable, the town agreed to pay RealTerm $7,500. Public works director Guy Bourgon is confident the study will be a success. In his report to council recommending the move, he said the current “cobra head� fixtures cost the town $83,300 yearly in electricity and $32,700 yearly in maintenance for a total of $116,000. After the retrofit, yearly energy costs would drop to $26,700 and yearly maintenance costs would drop to $3,000. (After pressing by Mayor David Reid, Bourgon admitted that the saving could be 10 per cent lower.) Not all streetlights would be included. The 81 downtown-core lights will likely be moved and replaced with new decorative lights as part of the streetscaping plan. See LIGHTS Page 4 R0012389139

Siren reminder to change clocks, check fire alarms

Sweaters for Syria from Walter Zadow Walter Zadow student Liam Retty organized a sweater drive for Syrian refugees at the school. The goal was to donate more than 500 sweaters for the victims of the Syrian civil war. The sweaters will be donated to Syrian refugees living in the Za’atari refugee camp in Jordan. Pictured with Liam are the top sweater retrievers from each grade. From left are Jay BrassingtonBrown, Kieran Major, Cameron Shepherd, Liam, teacher Lyann DeJager, Hannah Raudssus, Sadee-Ann Campbell, Brianna Chartrand, Brian Sheeler, Karston Warnock and Isaac Raudssus.
News – The Arnprior fire department will test the town’s emergency siren and remind residents to change their clocks this Saturday, Nov. 2. The emergency siren is tested in the spring and fall each year, around the time clocks ‘fall back’ an hour. Daylight Savings time will end this Sunday, Nov. 3, as clocks are moved back one hour at 2 a.m. The hour switches from 2 a.m. Daylight savings time to 1 a.m. standard time. The phrase “spring forward, fall back” is a helpful reminder of the time changes. The Arnprior fire department also makes use of the siren test to remind all town residents, as well as landlords and tenants of rental buildings, to test residential smoke alarms and replace batteries as needed. Anyone with a carbon monoxide detector that is battery operated or contains a battery for back-up should consider replacing those batteries as well. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance and testing of the devices, urges the fire department. Arnprior fire prevention officer Cory Nicholas notes that tampering with or removing the batteries from a smoke alarm is against the law. Failure to comply with the fire code smoke alarm requirements can result in a ticket for $235 or a fine of up to $50,000.

Let’s beat the FLU
News – The wetlands in the vicinity of the Braeside Quarry are unusually dry this fall, prompting concerns by neighbours that the water table feeding their wells might dry up too. In a news release issued by area resident Norma Moore last week, it was suggested that aerial photographs taken for the Arnprior Golf Club indicates ponds in the area have low or no water this fall. It suggests that pumping of groundwater at the quarry be stopped to allow further study of the problem. “We have a major change here on this ridge and we need to know why,” said Moore. The release notes that water concerns have always been top priority to the residents of the Braeside Ridge in discussions about the Miller Quarry expansion. “Residents’ fears of water shortage or water contamination have been largely ignored by the company and those members of McNab-Braeside council who voted in favour of the Miller expansion,” it adds. However, the water quality issues have not been ignored by Ontario ministries of natural resources and the environment, say residents. The release points out the May 27 MNR letter of refusal of the Miller aggregate license for the expansion of the Braeside Quarry stressed the importance of the wetlands on the ridge. “Miller had not classified these

The residents note the MNR said that there was a likelihood the wetlands would be considered provincially significant, “a very important designation.” On May 27, MOE hydrogeologist Shawn Kinney reviewed the proposed Miller Braeside Quarry expansion. The residents’ release says Kinney said that about one square kilometre about 500 metres southeast of the proposed excavation was the likeliest recharge area for the local aquifers.

confirmed this, they say. “Fall usually sees water everywhere – not this year.” Meanwhile the Miller quarry has been continuing to mine under the water table, pumping out water from aquifers into Ryan Creek where it is carried away from the area, claims the release. “Residents of this ridge and surrounding area need to be alerted about this situation, which may affect the future of fresh water resources. “Immediate evaluation of the whole system appears to be required before any more continual pumping of the groundwater is allowed.”
SEEING GREEN
LED lights are proven to have a longer life span, are more energy efficient, require less maintenance, contain no harmful chemicals, and operate equally well in extremely cold or hot weather, provide excellent light dispersion, have no UV emissions, and don’t require a warm-up before maximum lighting, Bourgon wrote. Reid said residents complain about current streetlights reaching their homes. Bourgon assured that LED
lights offer better diffusion, meaning it will only shine on sidewalks and streets. The retrofit would be a turnkey project; RealTerm has partnered with Cree Canada and a subsidiary of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario to offer the program. It could be completed by June 1, 2014. Cree Canada offers a 10-year warranty. Although recently assuming the pay-as-you-go methodology, council agreed to self-finance the project through Infrastructure Ontario over 10 years. It will realize net savings after loan repayments starting at about $42,000 in year one.

“With Willis College’s specialized, targeted approach to job training, they will not only be filling an essential need of local employers, they will be helping lay that foundation for better jobs for Arnprior and area residents,” said Arnprior Mayor David Reid. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant pointed out that the campus well positions Arnprior to take advantage of the new jobs that will result from the Canadian-Europe free trade agreement finalized this month. An estimated 80,000 new jobs will be created by the new markets in Europe, she said. Gallant said there are many jobs available that need to be filled and there are people around to fill them if only they had the proper skills and training. That’s why the federal government is supportive to Willis College locating a campus in Arnprior, she said. The campus will focus on upgrading jobseekers skills in the technology, business and health fields. It anticipates have up to 150 students within a year. As enrolment climbs, the five local staff members will likely be upped to close to a dozen.

and agency review process, there are a number of minor errors and shortcomings which have been identified by the Township as it has begun administering the new Official Plan. As a consequence, the Township has identified the need for two Official Plan Amendments, as described below.
Rob Wittkie, Planning Administrator/Deputy Clerk Township of Lanark Highlands
Official Plan Amendment No. 2 The purpose of this proposed Official Plan Amendment is to correct minor errors and shortcomings in the text of the new Official Plan. It is considered to be a technical housekeeping Amendment which does not change the meaning or intent of any of the policies or land use designations in the new Official Plan. As well, it does not affect any of the policies which have been appealed to the OMB. There is no Key Map associated with either of the proposed Amendments since they have general application throughout the entire Township.
EXPLANATORY NOTE Background The new Township of Lanark Highlands Official Plan was approved with modifications by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on December 17, 2012, with one appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). As with all such new documents, especially those which have undergone numerous revisions as part of an extensive public
Official Plan Amendment No. 1 The purpose of this proposed Official Plan Amendment is to correct a mapping error on Schedule B of the Official Plan. Schedule B identifies potential development constraints throughout the Township, one of which is the “Crown Land” constraint that effectively prohibits development on Crown Land. The proposed Amendment deletes the “Crown Land” designation on those properties which are privately owned (i.e., which are not Crown Land), and does not affect the basic land use designation on Schedule A of the Official Plan or the related land development policies.

Time to embrace a new Halloween We don’t want to be a party-pooper, but shouldn’t we be rethinking the way we celebrate Halloween? There has been some welcome changes in the past couple of decades. Damage night has gone by the wayside and there aren’t as many mean tricks being afflicted on the populace as there used to be. Now that we’re well on the way to eliminating mindless damage and violence from the festivities, it’s time to change the focus from doling out copious amounts of sugar to youngsters to a more nutritious and community-minded celebration. Events such as the Arnprior Zombie walk help. While somewhat bizarre in its concept, it does promote creativity and to a certain extent literacy. Somebody must be reading all those popular zombie and vampire books. The Zombie walk also has a community bent as well, what with its donation to the Arnprior and District Food Bank. White Lake also appears to have the right idea when it comes to celebrating Halloween.
The Women’s Institute members, of all people, have launched a community festival the Saturday before Halloween with a harvest theme. But with their own Zombie walk and a tunnel of terror, the event certainly has a Halloween flavour. The McNab-Braeside firefighters have the right idea too. They are holding a public party Halloween evening at the White Lake fire hall. While they give out sugar-filled goodies, they also sneak in fire safety tips. And the get-together is a celebration of community. That’s what Halloween should be. A time for families, a time for neighbours to get together to socialize and be of good cheer prior before being besieged by Christmas messages. As well, it wouldn’t hurt to phase the candy element from the celebration. After all, there is plenty of good nutritious food available from the harvest. That’s where the focus should be - not on bags of hyperactive-producing sugar.

Risks too great with proposed pipeline Council decision erodes literacy
To the Editor: Several weeks ago, there was article in area newspapers about an oil pipeline project through the Valley. It sounded as if this was a done deal, a fait accompli. I nearly fell off my chair. This was the first I had heard of this oil pipeline. Upon doing some investigation, I have found that this is not a “done deal� at all. The company, TransCanada Corp. has to have a permit to turn the existing gas pipeline into an oil pipeline. They do not have this permit – yet. Here are some facts about this project: 1. Will our community be affected by the Energy East pipeline? The pipeline will run from Hardesty, Alberta, through Regina, Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, North Bay, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City to St. John, New Brunswick. Going through the Ottawa area, it crosses the Mississippi River at Pakenham, runs through Stittsville, and crosses the Rideau River at Kemptville. TransCanada wants to convert the existing gas pipeline into an oil pipeline that would carry 1.1 millions barrels per day.
The pipeline, which as been dubbed ‘Energy East’ presently ends in Quebec. But the company, with the support of some politicians, wants to extend it all the way to the Irving refinery in Saint John, N.B. Marine tanker facilities will be added in Quebec City and Saint John, transforming the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Bay of Fundy into an oil tanker superhighway, exporting to international markets. 2. Old pipeline, new risks. Earlier this year, the Exxon Pegasus pipeline spilled an estimated one million litres of diluted bitumen (dilbit) from the tar sands in Mayflower, Arkansas. “The Pegasus pipeline that ruptured and spilled thousands of gallons of tar sands crude in Mayflower was 65 years old, and was initially build to carry thinner oil at lower pressure in the opposite direction than today.� – Inside Climate News Similar to the Pegasus pipeline, the existing TransCanada pipeline was built in the 1970s and would also carry a substance (oil) thicker than the material for which it was originally built (gas).

To the Editor: The following letter has also been sent to McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell. Approximately 21 months ago you called me and asked what McNab-Braeside council could do to help literacy. I wasn’t exactly sure what you had in mind. You asked about our library at McNab Public School. I explained that with dedicated volunteers and funds provided by our generous parent council we were doing our best. When you suggested that maybe McNab-Braeside should have its own library services, I clearly responded that it would be impossible to do such a thing both physically and financially. The following September at a council meeting to discuss the library and recreation agreement with Arnprior and Renfrew, I restated my concerns about McNab-Braeside trying to provide their own library services. After council had renewed an agreement with Arnprior to continue recreation services, a council meeting was held to discuss the library agreement. At that time Deputy Mayor Blimkie reported that she had visited the Arnprior Library and discussed with Karen DeLuca the services they provided. Deputy Mayor Blimkie’s feeling, at that time, was that the cost of the extensive ser-
vices offered was reasonable and justified. Her vote resulted in continued services. So, it is with disbelief and chagrin to see that you and council have decided to cancel our access to the excellent services provided by both Arnprior and Renfrew libraries. This does not help or support literacy! These services are invaluable to the promotion of literacy. The extensive services introduce our preschoolers to books and reading, supplement reading for all grade levels, provide summer programs that allow our students to continue reading throughout the year and the list goes on. I won’t even mention what it means to adults, especially seniors. Often those who most need these services are the least able to afford to pay for them. I am asking that you and council reconsider and continue these services. Our McNab-Braeside residents deserve the best and should have a say in this decision. Sharol Havey (retired teacher/ library volunteer) McNab-Braeside P.S. Colleagues in agreement include D.J. Fraser (former principal McNab Public School), J. Barrett (former principal McNab PS), N. Farmer (current principal Arnprior District High School).

Take action against pipeline proposal Continued from Page 8
The National Petroleum Council for the U.S. Department of Energy stated that “pipelines operating outside of their design parameters, such as those carrying commodities for which they were not initially designed, or high flow pipelines, are at the greatest risk of integrity issues in the future due to the nature of their operation.” Converting an existing gas pipeline to an oil pipeline may mean less effort put into construction and materials, but it also means more risk for the many rivers and lakes along its route. When pipelines spill, they cause extensive environmental damage. Tar sands crude, known as bitumen, is heavy and requires toxic chemicals to dilute it. In 2010, a tar sands pipeline ruptured, flooding the Kalamazoo River in Michigan with 3.8 million litres of diluted bitumen that sank to the bottom of the river. Conventional clean-up methods have not worked and despite costing almost $1 billion, the river is still polluted. 3. Profit before energy security. Some politicians and industry are saying they want to get tar sands to eastern Canada, that it is a “nation-building” project. However, there is reason to believe that this pipeline is really meant to get the crude to Atlantic ports so that it can be easily exported. There is no guarantee that the crude refined in Eastern Canada will be used to meet local needs. According to a press release from Irving Oil (St. John refinery) earlier this year, “the refinery exports over 80 per cent of its production to the U.S. as
refined products such as gasoline.” Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver has also said that the Energy East pipeline could deliver Canadian oil to large energy consumers and new markets. We can expect that the crude will go the highest bidders, and industry is looking towards Europe, India, and China as well as the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts. 4. Creating Jobs. The allure of jobs may prove to be too good to be true. In the U.S., TransCanada’s Keystone XL job promises have been shown to be grossly overestimated by reputable sources such as the Cornell Global Labor Institute. Since the majority of the Energy East pipeline is already built, construction jobs will be limited. Many of the jobs would likely be temporary jobs to construct new pumping stations and infrastructures. To put this into context, the city of Burnaby, B.C. – the final destination of the Kinder Morgan pipeline – estimates that the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion would only create 12 new jobs. We can and must create good, green jobs by ending our dependency on fossil fuels. 5. Communities have the right to say ‘no’. Communities along the routes of the Pacific-bound export pipelines including the Enbridge Northern Gateway project and the Kinder Morgan expansion are saying “no” to pipelines through their communities. People point out that a pipeline spill could threaten their drinking water, food sources and the health of their communities. Bitumen and oil contamination has been connected with high rates of can-
cer, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory problems. We also know that when it comes to pipelines, it is not a question of if there will be a spill, but when and where there will be a spill. All of us have the right to care about our communities and the right to say “no” to this project. 6. Climate change. This pipeline is part of a larger agenda of extracting and exporting natural resources for corporate profit regardless of the impacts on people and the environment. It will jeopardize freshwater supplies and enable tar sands expansion, increasing climate pollution. Canada, a highly industrialized country, has a responsibility to cut its emissions to stop runaway climate change and the social and environmental impacts that result such as droughts, floods, loss of agricultural land, and forced displacement. 7. What can you do? Take action! For information and resources about the Energy East campaign, visit www.canadians.org/energyeast (1-800387-7177). Use the petition to contact your local provincial and federal representatives and tell them ‘no’ to the TransCanada Energy East pipeline.

Why our local Blue Jays won’t be blue this winter Lifestyle - One of the most familiar bird is the Blue Jay. Its bright colours, noisy vocalizations, and bold behaviour have long been noted: the great ornithologist Alexander Wilson wrote in 1831: “(the Blue Jay) is distinguished as a kind of beau among feathered tenants of our woods, by the brilliancy of his dress; and like most other coxcombs, makes himself still more conspicuous by his loquacity, and the oddness of his tones and gestures.” This fall Blue Jays are present in large numbers and I suspect many will stay for the winter. This is because oaks have produced massive crops of acorns, a food jays love to stash away for leaner times. But Blue Jays aren’t here in large numbers every winter. When hardwoods produce small seed crops, most head south. When larger crops are produced, fewer migrate. This variable migration is unlike that of small warblers, which consistently

‘Water dance’ tests river water JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND
Volunteers Chelsey Ellis, in the foreground, and Arnprior’s Adrienne Lewis demonstrate how to dredge the bottom of the Jock River with nets to collect samples of insects living in the water. The pair demonstrated the “water dance” to the group, showing them how to stir up the silt to find the water-dwelling bugs. Found among the silt were water boatman, crawfish, water scorpions and megaloptera, the latter being “an indicator of really good water quality,” said Lewis. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, City Stream Watch, Ottawa Fly Fishers Society and a handful of volunteers took part in the sixth-annual aquatic insect and fly fishing workshop in late September in a test of the river that flows from Lanark county to the Rideau River.
Naturalists to hear talk on ash borer News – With the ash borer menace having moved into Arnprior, the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club will tackle the issue at its November meeting. Members and the public are welcome at the 7:30 p.m. session at the Arnprior Curling Club Scientist and bug expert Bruce Gill will give a presentation entitled Ash Borers, A killer jewel beetle in our midst. The borer has killed many ash trees in Ottawa and the menace has spread throughout Eastern Ontario. Gill is a research scientist with the Ottawa Plant Laboratory of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Prior to switching into research full time in 2010, he spent 20 years as a quarantine entomologist with the agency, identifying exotic pests and working on a number of invasive species such as Asian gypsy moth, Asian long-horned beetle and the emerald ash borer. He is the recent past president of the Entomological Society of Ontario and has been collecting and studying insects since he was seven years old. In his talk, Gill will likely suggest the longterm survival of the area’s ash trees lies in finding appropriate biological control agents in
Asia to bring the bug’s North American population under control. The ash borer is an invasive species from eastern Asia that has spread rapidly since it was first detected in Detroit and Windsor in summer 2002. It feeds on all species of ash except for the mountain ash and kills trees within a few years of attack. With the adults being strong fliers and the larvae easily moved in firewood, containment of this pest has proved nearly impossible despite quarantines in several areas. Gill’s talk will include a look at the jewel beetle family Buprestidae and other beautiful native species before turning to the emerald ash borer. ANNUAL BANQUET

Events - Nature wears many faces. She can be beautiful. She can be graceful. She can also seem uncaring and even harsh. But Nature also has a very sexy side to her. Join Michael Runtz for an intimate and highly visual look at the fascinating mating rituals of animals. From love songs to sexy perfumes and nuptial gifts, animals use many means to meet that special someone. The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy invites the public to attend a fundraising gala dinner on Friday, Nov. 8 at the Almonte Civitan Club. Runtz’s presentation will be the highlight of the evening, which will also feature a silent auction offering a wide range of useful and interesting items, with an emphasis on services, ranging from weekends in the woods to private gourmet dinners to guided walks. Runtz is one of Canada’s most highly respected naturalists, nature photographers and natural history authors. Eleven best-selling publications offer evidence of his passion, knowledge and stunning photography. His infectious and enthusiastic teaching style attracts thousands of students annually to his natural history course at Carleton University for which he has received awards for teaching excellence from students and peers alike. But nowhere does Runtz feel more

New Celtic heritage group planning medieval feast R0012386469/1031
News – Imagine eating around a huge table with a white tablecloth; sampling a wide array of simple hearty food that you pick up in your fingers; being entertained during each of many courses by jugglers, singers, musicians and storytellers; being able to chuck the bones from
your chicken onto the floor, which is covered with rushes and grasses — and no one bats an eye. On Friday, Nov. 29, starting at 7 p.m., the first-ever St. Andrew’s Day Medieval Feast will take place at the Masonic Hall on James Street in Arnprior. Organized by the newly formed McNab
John O’Neill Sales Representative
BUS: 613-270-8200 RES: 613-832-2503 joneill@royallepage.ca
Celtic Heritage Society, the feast is being held to honour St. Andrew — and the township’s strong Scottish heritage. But just who is St. Andrew - and why hold a St. Andrew’s Day Medieval Feast in his honour? St. Andrew was very important in the spread of Christianity. Born in Bethesda on the shores of the Sea of Galilee and the younger brother of St Peter, Andrew was a Galilean fisherman working in the Black Sea before he and his brother Simon Peter became disciples of Jesus Christ. His name means “strong� and he also had good social skills: He brought the first foreigners to meet Jesus and shamed a large crowd of people into sharing their food with the people beside them.
He was crucified in Greece by the Romans for his part in the preaching for and helping to spread Christianity and, hundreds of years later, his remains were moved to Constantinople and then, in the 13th century, to Amalfi in southern Italy, where they are kept to this day. Because Andrew was the brother of Saint Peter, founder of the Church, the Scots were able to appeal to the Pope in 1320 (the Declaration of Arbroath) for protection against the attempts of English kings to conquer the Scots. Andrew was first recognized as an official patron saint of Scotland in 1320 at the signing of the Declaration - an appeal to the Pope by Scottish noblemen asserting Scotland’s independence from England.

If the person who receives the call follows the instructions of the message to claim the reward miles, they are put in contact with a person who will then ask for personal information including air miles account and credit card information. If one receives this type of call, they should simply hang up the phone, advise police. They note that Air Miles does not use automated messaging to contact their collectors. If you believe you are a victim of a fraud, don’t be embarrassed - you are not alone, say police. If you want to report a fraud, contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre toll-free at 1-888-495-8501.

In 1879 the Archbishop of AmalďŹ gifted Andrew’s shoulder blade to St. Mary’s Cathedral in Edinburgh. Pope Paul VI donated further relics in 1969. Not only is St. Andrew the patron saint of Scotland, but he is also the patron saint of Greece, Russia, Romania and Barbados. In Scotland, St. Andrew’s Day - held on Nov. 30 - is cause for a huge celebration. Come one, come all on Nov. 29. The St. Andrew’s Medieval Feast provides a wonderful opportunity for people in the area to celebrate the Scottish tradition that is so strong here. So get into character, enjoy a wonderful repast prepared by McNabBraeside Mayor Mary Campbell and be entertained. On the menu for this event are duck ‘n leek soup, braised leg of cock, roastitt (pronounced ‘roasted’) meats and vegetables, tarts and sweets, fruit and cheeses. If you really want to get into the mood, why not come dressed as a lord or lady, a juggler, a page, a knight, a peasant or a monk? Does Friar Tuck come to mind? Organizers can’t promise that the hall will look exactly like a nobleman’s house, but can promise a good time will be had by all. Tickets will certainly go fast. They cost $25 for adults and free for children under the age of 12. For tickets and information, call 613-623-3614 or 613-432-6271. If you want to volunteer, please also call one of these numbers.

Packers salvage point in loss Sean Marcellus
Sports - The Packers fell 6-5 in overtime to the Renfrew Timberwolves last Friday night in Eastern Ontario Junior hockey league action but still managed to earn a point in their sixth straight game. Arnprior improved to 8-2-1-0 on the season and have a four-point lead over second-place Perth and are five up on Renfrew. Arnprior captain John Mclean was out of the line-up with the flu, but the Packers were still able to muster five goals without the offensive-minded young forward. Arnprior had goals from five different players and goaltender Erik Miksik stood on his head making 41 saves in the extra time loss. Arnprior trailed 3-1 after the first period, as Renfrew took advantage of a couple defensive zone breakdowns, scoring on a shorthanded breakaway and again with only five seconds left in the period. The one Packers highlight saw 16-year-old Arnprior native James Prebble score his first EOJHL regular season goal. Prebble, who previously scored as a 15-year-old call-up in last year’s playoffs, tied the game 1-1 halfway through the frame. In the second period, Ty Fleming scored his first of the season in his debut with the Packers after coming over from the Nepean Raiders of the CCHL, cutting the Timberwolves’ lead to 3-2. White Lake native Dallas Farr tied the game 3-3 after beating the Renfrew keeper just under the crossbar on a wicked snap shot from close range. Renfrew regained its lead shortly after, as Luke Lapierre scored his second of the night to put the Timberwolves ahead 4-3 at the end of the second. A second-period scrap resulted in early exits for Renfrew’s Kurtis Leclaire and Arnprior’s Alex Loslo.
Lapierre scored a hat trick goal early in the third to give Renfrew a 5-3 lead and put the Packers on their heels. The action went back and forth for the next 10 minutes, as Miksik made two breakaway stops on Cole Allard and Colin Bradbury to keep Arnprior in the game. With just under four minutes to play, Patrick McGrath got the Packers within one, scoring on a goal-mouth scramble, making it a 5-4 game. The Packers continued to pressure their foes, finding their second wind and with just 19 seconds left, leading scorer and Packers Player of the Week Damian Armstrong tied the game 55. The comeback showed the young Packers have no quit in them and plenty of character, but unfortunately a win was not meant to be on this night as Lapierre scored his fourth of the game for Renfrew to give the Wolves the 6-5 victory in overtime. The Packers next home game is this Friday, Nov. 1 when they welcome the Metro Division runner-ups, the Clarence Beavers (9-4-0-0), to the Nick Smith Centre for an 8 p.m. start. It’s the start of a heavy three-game weekend for Arnprior. The Packers travel to Almonte Saturday for a 7:30 p.m. game with the Thunder. They have a quick turn-around, playing a 3 p.m. game in Shawville Sunday. Packers Scoring Summary: James Prebble (1) – Assisted by Brayden Harvey, Chris Marchand – 12:56 1st period; Ty Fleming (1) – Assisted by Michael McGrath, Corey Chaplin – 5:45 2nd period; Dallas Farr (3) – Assisted by Mitch Crozier – 10:18 2nd period; Patrick McGrath (5) – Assisted by Chris Marchand – 16:43 3rd period; Damian Armstrong (9) – Assisted by Chris Marchand – 19:41 3rd period.

Kurtis Foster on the ice with KHL team Sports – With the new National Hockey League (NHL) season underway, one of its former players with a local connection was hitting the ice elsewhere. Carp native Kurtis Foster, 31, signed a oneyear contact with Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) Croatian club Medvescak Zagreb. The defenceman appeared in 23 games with the Philadelphia Flyers during the shortened 2012-2013 season. During that time he scored one goal and earned five points. He was released as a free agent at the end of the season and signed the contract with the Croatian squad in July. In a press release issued at the time of Foster’s signing, KHL Medvescak Zagreb sporting director Aaron Fox praised Foster’s abilities. “Kurtis is a player of whom much is expected. His quality is (being) a good defender who performs offensive tasks that should help us in
situations with players more, due to his powerful shot. The player has NHL experience and we believe he will become our top defender,” Fox said. Foster joined the KHL team in August. Over his professional career, Foster played 408 games in the NHL. He was selected in the second round, 40th overall, in the 2000 NHL entry draft by the Calgary Flames from the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League. The impact of the NHL lockout in 2012-213 affected Foster’s free agent contract and he signed a European contract with Tappara of the Finnish SM-liiga in October 2012. In January 2013, he returned to North America to sign with an NHL team and did so with the Philadelphia Flyers where he played in 23 games. Released by the Flyers as a free agent, he returned to Europe and signed with Medvescak Zagreb.

Turkey bowl defeat derails playoff run
KEITH SCHARF/SUBMITTED
Sports - The frustrating 17-0 loss to RCI in the Turkey Bowl has proven costly for the Arnprior District High School senior football team. If both ADHS and RCI won Tuesday (past press deadline) as expected against weaker opponents, RCI will advance to the Renfrew-Lanark football final by two points. ADHS beat RCI 21-6 earlier in the season, but fell short 23-21 on combined points. If both teams finish at 4-1, the Redmen will be relegated to a consolation game against the La-
nark playoff runner-up. The game will be played at the Lanark school Friday, Nov. 8. Meanwhile, the junior ADHS Redmen football team drubbed Smiths Falls 47-19 at home last Friday to finish the season 4-2. ADHS qualified for the playoffs, but has an uphill battle as the Redmen were scheduled to travel to Perth Tuesday to face the unbeaten (6-0) St. John’s Spartans. Almonte hosts Carleton Place in the other semi-final.

Monica Lyon, left, and Trish Headrick, two of the main organizers of the Communities in Bloom Hens and Chicks fundraiser have arranged to have two of the famous Arnprior M&R Feeds giant chickens make an appearance at the Nov. 15 fundraiser at the Nick Smith Centre. A photo area will be set up for the chicks and hens to have their pictures taken with the chickens.
Hens and Chicks fundraiser to take on reality show theme John Carter john.carter@metroland.com
Events – It’s one of Arnprior’s most renowned parties. And sorry guys, it’s only for the chicks. The sixth annual Communities in Bloom Hens and Chicks bash will be held Friday, Nov. 15 to raise money for the organization’s town beautification efforts. The party featuring music by the Trevor Walsh Group and free wine will run from 7:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. This year’s theme is reality television show characters. The Hens and Chicks evening is Communities in Bloom’s major fundraiser. It has played an important role in building up a fund that will be used for improvements to Robert Simpson Park. Arnprior parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur said that Communities in Bloom is looking at providing specialized lighting in the park similar to that proposed for the downtown. “The plan is to do it together, so the lighting will be uniform in both places,” he explained. Led by Louise Mulvihill for several years, Communities in Bloom has been building pride in Arnprior, working to preserve the town’s her-
itage and promoting environmental awareness. Mulvihill has stepped away from a leadership role this year, leaving the fundraiser in the hands of a new team led by Monica Lyon and Trish Headrick. They are encouraging participants to dress up as their favourite reality show character if they wish. Several Duck Dynasty characters and Honey Boo Boos are expected. A $300 prize will be awarded for the best decorated table. Participants are urged to get together to form tables. However, there will be tables available where smaller groups of people can make new friends that night. Participants are also asked to bring items for the Arnprior and District Food Bank.

While numbers were down from last year, food and funds were raised for the Arnprior and District Food Bank and all those in attendance, living and undead, enjoyed the event. Above, zombie Kiss even made an appearance. From left are Sheila Laventure, Paul Valiquette, Cindy Valiquette and Casey Dodge.

Kim Daunais is the new executive director at the Arnprior Villa.
Arnprior Villa’s new executive director Kim Daunais is well-versed when it comes to caring for the elderly. She is familiar with all aspects of the business, having started her career with Revera 15 years ago in Kingston as a dietary aide. She then became a personal support worker, worked in activities, marketing and became an executive director in 2009. From the start, she was hooked on caring for people. “I enjoyed serving and was rewarded by getting to know everyone,” said Daunais. “I love it,” she said of her new job in Arnprior. “I’m comfortable in my shoes. I love my job and am thrilled to be a part of this lovely residence. Working her way up wasn’t easy, especially when faced with life after divorce as a single mom, but working endless hours and remaining positive and focused paid off. “You still give 110 per cent, no matter

what,” said Daunais. “This job has turned into a blessing and a journey which I could never have foreseen years ago.” She hopes others can make note of her success and believe in themselves enough to reach for their dreams. She credits several mentors she had along the way and said in her role in Arnprior she hopes to be able to help others in the way she was supported. More recently, Daunais worked in Stittsville. The Kanata resident said she jumped at the chance to come to Arnprior. She has had a warm welcome at the Villa and said the support for residents there is second to none. “They’re like family members,” she said. “Staff are very down to earth, they embrace and protect the people who live here.” When she arrived this summer, Daunais made efforts to get to know the community, meeting with officials and community organizations. In her spare time, Daunais loves spending time with her fiance and family, which now includes grandchildren.

Findlay Oval, and I could see his hands holding the Ottawa Farm Journal. They were small hands, I thought, for a man, but I knew them to be powerful. They were calloused and wore the look of hard labour, and they could tie up a pig or roll a heifer with ease. But when he ruffled my hair, as he often did when he passed me, his hands were gentle and loving. My sister Audrey had long tapering fingers, and I always thought her hands were narrow, and I would look at them and try to compare them with my own, which, even with a young eye, I could see that mine were wider by far. How I would envy Audrey her pretty hands! I knew too, that the reason she was able to do such beautiful hand work, and embroider French knots and lazy daisies on our tea towels and pillow cases, was because she had the perfect hands for the job. Even the hands of my three brothers differed from each other. Earl, the smallest, had hands that suited his slight build. Everett, the oldest of the three, had hands that were already beginning to show he would be expected to carry his weight on the farm. He complained of callouses and often said his fingers hurt. There was little sympathy for Everett ... he was needed on the farm, and the sooner he got used to hard work and the callouses the better off he would be, Father told him. Emerson, the biggest of the three, but the middle son, had big hands. They matched perfectly his big
frame, and his almost six foot height by the time he was 12 years old. But Mother always said Emerson had the hands of an artist. How she could tell, I had no idea. But she believed one day Emerson would be a great artist, or a builder of fine buildings with those hands. And so she squirrelled change out of her egg money from the blue sugar bowl, and took advantage of Ritza’s Rexall Drug Store one-cent sale, and bought him art paper, and soft leaded pencils, so sure was she that Emerson’s hands would one day make him famous. And I would look at Mother, sitting at the end of the table, with her diaries spread out around her, and with a bottle of real ink in front of her, and a pen ... she always wrote in her diaries with ink, never with pencil ... and if would look at her hands and then at mine ... and I would think that our hands, of all those in the family, were the most alike. Her two little fingers, like mine, had a slight bend in them. And I would watch her, face down over her diaries, and I would hope that one day I too could fill scribbler after scribbler with my thoughts and wishes, just like my mother. We children were never allowed to read her diaries (“diaries are private”) she would say, and we knew better than go near them ... stacked in neat piles on one of the topmost shelves of the backto-the-wall cupboard.
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
Sometimes, she would write so quickly, as her thoughts came, and for so long, that she would have to stop and rub her fingers to ease the stiffness. And that’s when I would notice how much our hands were alike, even though mine were smaller by far. My interest in hands came naturally, I decided many years later, because they played such an important part in our lives. Our brothers were taught at an early age to offer a hand to anyone older than they were and whom they happened to meet on the streets of Renfrew. Off would come the caps, and the hand would be thrust out in greeting. My sister Audrey and I were excused from handshaking, which was a great relief to me. And at an early age, I noticed the difference between a greeting handshake, and one that was used to close a deal. In greeting, the hands were pumped.

Up and down, up and down, like a pump handle. But if a deal was coming to a close, and a handshake was needed, the hands met in a clasp, and one handshake was all it took. One pump, and the deal was made. It didn’t take a lawyer to make a deal binding ... just a simple handshake. It was impossible to live in that old log house in Northcote, and not be aware of hands. Clean hands! Mother was a sticker for clean hands. The wash basin sat on the bench at the back door, the water changed often, a homemade bar of soap in a saucer beside it, and a huck towel on a roller on the wall. No one got within a country mile of the table at mealtime without a thorough wash of the hands. We never set out for school without washing our hands. The last thing we did when we crawled into bed at night was wash our hands. Emerson, who thought Mother took this clean hands business too far, often could be heard saying, under his breath of course, “I think we must have the cleanest hands in all of Renfrew County.” Well, that’s the way Mother wanted it ... and what Mother wanted, Mother got ... none of us dared question.

Dancing on Friday: localâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life story published stories and photos in a cohesive and time sequential fashion. The result is an autobiography, told in Gravelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own words, called Dancing on Friday: The Story of Ida Gravelle, published on Oct. 1 of this year. Marie Ida Therese La Salle was born in 1925 on Calumet Island, Quebec and was one of 14 children of Eugene and Hermeline (nee Laporte). When she was four years old, her family moved to a small farm in Dunraven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have electricity ... we were poor, but we thought we were rich because we never went hungry,â&#x20AC;? she says. Ida left school at age 13 to help care for her stricken mother, who eventually recovered. At the age of 17, she found work as a cook for the loggers in the bush. It was there that she met Sam Gravelle, who was only 13 at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sam fell in love with me right away,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first met him, I never thought I would marry him.â&#x20AC;?

Lifestyle - For the past several years, Ida Gravelle has been a woman with a purpose. Now the life of the diminutive 88-year-old Arnprior resident is the subject of a book written by a fellow parishioner of hers. Gravelle, who has been living in the same house for 62 years, has long wanted to share her life story with family, friends and others, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the means to do so. When she found out that Ellen Gable Hrkach, who also attends Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Braeside, was a writer, she asked the author to help tell her story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ida is so effervescent and bubbly. She may be small, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge in charm and personality. When she asked me, I readily agreed to help,â&#x20AC;? says Hrkach, who spent two years interviewing the elderly woman, gathering photos and learning about her colorful life.

Free The Children, Me to We co-founder to speak to parents News - Social activist and best-selling author Craig Kielburger will be the keynote speaker at a Renfrew County Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) symposium this Saturday, Nov. 2. The Renfrew County public school board event is being held at Bishop Smith Catholic High School in Pembroke from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The free symposium’s theme is Head, Hearts and Hands: Our Kids, Their Future. In 1995, one headline put social activist Craig Kielburger, then 12, on a path that would benefit the lives millions of youth around the world. The Thornhill youth was reading the Toronto Star and came across the headline ‘Battled child labour, boy, 12, murdered’. The story was about a young Pakistani boy named Iqbal Masih who was forced into bonded labour in a carpet factory at the age of four. At age 10 he escaped and became an international figurehead for the fight against child labour, by 12 years of age, and was murdered in 1995.

Val Trotter of Calabogie sells raffle tickets at the Bogie Artsfest for an impressive folding toy castle made by her husband, Don. All proceeds are going to the Jennifer Berrigan Memorial Fund for the Fertile Future organization, which helps cancer survivors deal with fertility issues. The cause is dear to Trotter’s heart, as Berrigan, a director of the organization prior to her death last year at the age of 30, was the fiancée of her son Derek Gallagher. Fertile Future is holding a major fundraiser Nov. 4 in Ottawa featuring Rick Mercer, Gord Downie, Randy Bachman and Serena Ryder. The castle has also been displayed Mountain Creek Golf Course.

By the time the Oct. 6 run rolled around, it was the Jennifer Aniston style that had the most votes and Olmstead had two ponytails - measuring 14 inches each - to donate. Rebecca Alessio made the largest donation
and won the privilege of making the first cut.

Flu and cold season – How to minimize the impact Ian Harris
Weight management,
Opinion - How do you catch a cold? Open a window and in flu enza! Besides all the warnings of washing our hands often and getting the flu shot, there are natural ways that are effective. However, being healthy does not stop an individual from illness or disease. Being healthy minimizes the impact, helps shorten the duration and makes dealing with the symptoms easier. Stress is a major factor in the proliferation of illness and disease, so I recommend distressing by exercising regularly. Exercise not only tones
wellness and nutrition you, but it also helps release those nasty stress hormones such as cortisol and norepinephrine. Eat nutritiously throughout the day, drink plenty of fluids like warm water with lemon and stay away from processed sugar, which shuts down your immune system. Sleep is another major factor in the repair and maintenance of not only our minds but our bodies. Most of us require at least eight to 10 hours of quality sleep. That being said, going to bed at
one in the morning and sleeping for eight to 10 hours is not quality sleep. Sleep should occur no later than 10 in the evening. The bedroom itself should be comfortable - not too hot, not too cold - and there should be minimal distraction from sound and light. This type of sleep is both restorative and reparative to the human mind and body. Food plays an integral role in helping us throughout the day. Food not only sustains us, it also helps repair damaged cells and fuels our bodies and our minds. Skipping breakfast is one of the worst things a human can to their body. Breakfast is a break from a
fast, a break from not eating or drinking for at least eight hours. Eating foods that are nutrient dense like cruciferous vegetables (green leafy veggies), veggies rich in colors such as red (red pepper) and orange (carrots), all kinds of fruit (apples, oranges, bananas, mango), lean protein or for some plant protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fat and plenty of water will not only help you maintain a healthy mind and body, it will help you fight illness and disease and keep those unwanted pounds off. Supplements such as vitamin C, vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin), vitamin E and vitamin B as well as minerals like selenium, etc. will help
deal with the stressors of the day. Supplements are meant to augment an already healthy immune system. Supplements are not meant to be a replacement for poor eating habits and the lack of exercise. Always consult a nutrition consultant before starting a supplementation program. Ian Harris of Arnprior is a registered nutritional therapist, certified food psychology coach, certified wellness coach and certified personal fitness chef. He holds many other nutrition certification and specialties in lifestyle and weight management. He can be reached at Ian Harris Wellness & Nutrition at 613-863-6325.
Vaccination touted as best line of defence against the flu News – In its efforts to increase the number of people getting the flu shot, the Ontario government is providing the vaccine at more locations than ever this year. The free flu vaccine is available to doctors’ offices and community and workplace flu immunization clinics beginning last week. It is also available for those five and older through specially trained pharmacists at close to 2,000 pharmacies across Ontario - three times as many pharmacies as last year. The government insists the flu vaccine is safe and the best defense “for keeping you and the people around you healthy during the flu season.” Influenza can cause serious health complications and even death, particularly for children under five, pregnant women, seniors and people with underlying health conditions, emphasizes the provincial government in a news release. The release points out the highest number of flu infections happens in children, ages five to nine years old.
Free flu vaccine is available to everyone, six months of age and older, who lives, works or attends school in Ontario. The Renfrew County Health Unit is holding clinics in Arnprior Thursday, Nov. 7 (Nick Smith Centre 2-7 p.m.) and Dec. 4 (Arnprior Legion 4-7 p.m.). The release notes that more than 600 Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacies across Ontario now offer the flu shot. To promote flu shots, Ontario’s Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Deb Matthews received a vaccination from a Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacist. “Getting a flu shot is the most reliable way to prevent the flu - that’s why it’s important for families to add the flu shot to their to-do list this flu season,” she said. Between 3.4 and 8.6 million Canadians get the flu each year and it can result in serious consequences for many including seniors, children and those with chronic health conditions, says the government. In fact, 2,000 to 8,000 people die annually as a result of complications from the flu, “so it’s important that everyone in On-

tario take preventative measures this season,” says its news release. It points out that Fall is the best time to get the vaccine as protection takes hold two weeks following immunization and will last roughly six months. The government is also promoting good hygiene as a way to prevent infection, including frequent hand-washing, covering all coughs and sneezes, and staying home when you are sick. “For some people who are vulnerable, the flu can mean serious illness and even death,” said Dr. Robin Williams, the province’s acting Chief
Medical Officer of Health. “I urge all Ontarians to get their flu shot – particularly children and seniors. The flu vaccine takes about two weeks to fully protect, so it’s best to get the shot as soon as possible.” HOMEOPATHIC ALTERNATIVE
Not everyone is a fan of the traditional flu shot. Manuela Mueller-Code of the Hahnemann Clinic for Heilkunst is once again providing natural homeopathic flu prevention shots orally in Arnprior and Renfrew.

Foster parents, volunteers recognized for helping children News – There are many kinds of heroes who save the day for those in need. For children in need of a loving and safe environment, there is a special group of heroes who are more than willing to open their hearts and homes when the need arises. Family and Children’s Services (FCS) of Renfrew County held its Foster Parents and Friends Appreciation Night Oct. 4 at the Cobden Fair Grounds. The annual event is a special one for the FCS community, as foster parents, whether they provide temporary or foster to adopt care, they are saluted for the positive changes they bring to the lives of children. Dubbed ‘Foster Fiesta’, attendees were invited to don sombreros and ponchos in keeping with the Mexican theme for the event, which included a Mexican buffet. Live musical entertainment was provided by Tequila Mockingbird. Crucial to the night’s success is the array of area businesses that donated door prizes, including the Lapointe Group and OPSEU Local 459 (Family and Children’s Services), which contributed sponsorship or prizes in the sum of $500.

Among those honoured at the annual Foster Parents and Friends Appreciation Night, from left, are Sharlene Boldt of Griffith and Cleo Fraser of Arnprior, who were recognized for their five years of service as foster parents. “We have a tremendous amount of support from businesses across the county,” said resource supervisor Marjorie Walker. “It really reflects upon the fact that we are a community-based agency. People recognize the value of the agency in the community and support it that way.” The highlight of the evening
was the awards recognizing Years of Long Service in Fostering. They marked intervals of 5, 10, 15 and 30 years of service. Of special note was the presentation of the 45 Years of Service award to Earl and Shirley Forrest of Renfrew. “Earl and Shirley are a shining example of foster parents who provide

short-term foster care,” said Walker. “Over their incredible 45 years, they have provided care to many, many newborns and infants, helping them to transition either back home or to a permanent, adoptive home. What is amazing about Earl and Shirley is that they care for each of the children as though he or she were their first and only foster child.” Marking 30 years were Debbie and John Greer. The 15-year recipients were Rosanne and Carson Foy and Susan Neuman. The 10-year recipients were Dorothee and Peter Berenbeck, Heidi and Eric Doyle, Nicole and Bill Grindell, and Cindy Wright-Levair and Chris Levair. The five-year recipients were Sharlene Boldt and Steven Wittkie, Marjolaine Boudreau and Stephane Lafaille, Misti and Blake Crozier, Arnprior’s Cleo Fraser, Karen KraftLaabs and David Laabs, Kristy and Tim Phinney, and Carrol and Fred Roussel. As is the norm in the fostering world, there are those who decide to leave the calling, while a new generation of foster parents is recruited to fill the gap. “People come and go from fostering for a variety of reasons,” said Walker. “People want to make a difference

in the life of a child. Many complete their family through fostering to adopt; they’ve cared for children through the process of their becoming full family members, so they’re moving on with their life as a family. “Some of our other foster parents are in an age group where they feel it’s time to retire. “At this time last year, we had about 133 approved homes. At this point today, we have 128 approved homes. “About 20 homes closed, but 15 new families were approved. We always need families to provide care for children, both for short- and longterm care, as their permanent plan is determined.” Walker emphasized that a wide age group of children are in need of a safe and nurturing home environment. “We need homes for babies, preschool aged children, school age and teenaged children. We also need homes that can provide care for sibling groups where age might vary greatly.” If you are interested in learning more about the Foster and Foster to Adopt program, contact Ann Hubert at 613-735-6866, ext. 4060, email ann.hubert@fcsrenfrew.on.ca or visit the website at www.fcsrenfrew. on.ca.
