Six-time champions Bobby Jo Cavanagh powers through a Bishop Smith defender in the high school rugby title game. Her Arnprior team captured its sixth consecutive regional championship last week. See pages 17-18 for more.
Residents living near the Braeside quarry are claiming victory over a corporate giant’s planned expansion. According to an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) decision released on Oct. 30, The Miller Group is allowed to expand the quarry – for materials to continue twinning Highway 17 – but was given strict guidelines to follow.
According to Friends Addressing Concerns Together McNab-Braeside, the group challenging Miller, the ruling is a win. “FACT-MB is ecstatic,” reads a press release. “The Ontario Municipal Board decision by Marc Denhez has come out clearly on the side of the community.” In his 58-page decision, Denhez sided with FACT-MB on four aspects of the case: There will be no permanent asphalt plant in the Braeside Quarry; Proper setbacks to residents’ property lines must be kept as the quarry expands; See TOWNSHIP page 5

Elementary teachers union reaches tentative deal with the province Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com

Planning over breakfast Arnprior planner Robin Smith offers participants at a Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce breakfast social an update on the town’s Official Plan. Held at the Arnprior and District Museum on Oct. 21, the meeting featured Smith explaining that the document is being revised to stay current with provincial policies and public sentiment. A vision-oriented document, the Official Plan details land use, environmental issues and other topics. The town welcomes public input on the plan. More information is available on the town’s website.
Work-to-rule was nowhere to be seen at the province’s elementary schools on the morning of Nov. 3, a day after the union representing those teachers struck a tentative agreement with the province. The Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) had been without a collective agreement for 14 months, a situation that led to increasing labour action starting in late spring. The union was the last teacher’s federation to forge a deal with the province and Ontario Public School Boards’ Association (OPSBA). Following the announcement late Nov. 2, an immediate halt was called to all labour action by the union’s 78,000 members. The elementary teachers had escaled their job action on Oct. 28, refusing to participate in any extra-curricular activities. The details of the tentative deal will remain a secret until it is ratified. “This round of bargaining has been exceptionally lengthy and difficult, but in the end we achieved a tentative agreement that ETFO believes is fair and meets the needs of our members,” said ETFO president Sam Hammond in a media release. “ETFO is a democratic organization and ultimately it is the membership that will determine whether this tentative agreement is acceptable … Local leaders will now focus their efforts on reaching agreements in their respective school boards.” The ETFO was facing an ultimatum by the province, which had stated previously that
it would give school boards the ability to dock teacher’s pay if the labour action continued. With the agreement signed, report cards held back by work-to-rule activities should begin flowing to parents and students. “We have specifically agreed that the full progress reports – including comments – will be prepared for all the elementary students in the English public system,” said Ontario education minister Liz Sandals following the announcement, adding that the cards should be sent out on Dec. 11. The deal, according to Sandals, is in line with the offers made to the other teachers unions, and remains a ‘net zero’ bargain. No provincial money flowed to the ETFO during the bargaining process to offset union costs, a situation that caused controversy after it was revealed that the Ontario Secondary Schools Teachers Federation, the Catholic teacher’s union and French teacher’s union received a total of $2.5 million to remain at the bargaining table. SUPPORT WORKERS
Tentative contract agreement was also reached with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) for school support workers. Those 55,000 workers – in all four school board systems - had also been on a work-torule campaign, one which has now ended. A further 15,000 support staff represented by OSSTF are now the last education workers without an agreement. Their work-to-rule action continues. With files from Torstar News Service

Renfrew County Housing Corporation adopts smoke-free policy Sherry Haaima
sherry.haaima@metroland.com
Renfrew County Housing Corporation has adopted a smoke-free policy for its about 1,000 units in Renfrew County, including many in Arnprior. The smoke-free policy will be adopted through attrition, except for at 41 Vimy Blvd. in Renfrew, the site of a January fire caused by careless smoking that dislodged residents from their home. The building has been undergoing construction since then. The smoke-free policy, which encompasses all units as well as RCHC property, will be in effect for all new or transferring RCHC clients, but grandfathered for existing residents in units other than at 41 Vimy, which is essentially a new building now that reconstruction is complete, explained Renfrew County Warden Peter
Emon. “This facility will be the first smoke-free building/property within the Renfrew County Housing Corporation portfolio,” says a county press release. “It is to be noted that all of the tenants moving into 41 Vimy Blvd. will have new tenancy agreements as a result of the break in the relationship between the landlord and the tenant caused by the fire that took place on Jan. 7, 2015. All new tenants housed at 41 Vimy Blvd. are required to sign a new tenancy agreement effective Nov. 1, 2015, which contains both the smoke-free housing policy, and proof of mandatory insurance before lease signing,” notes the release. The requirement that tenants have insurance is new and was passed by council in September, explained Emon. He said he believes there is a provision within the RCHC package that helps tenants access
insurance through the municipal housing corporation. The news of the smoke-free policy has been met with positivity for the most part, said Emon. “It’s unfortunate in one sense because you don’t want to force people to step outside in inclement weather and go off the property, but fortunately at Vimy, it’s not that long a walk from the building to the street,” he said. “However, the other tenants want to have a feeling of safety. There can be accidents when people are smoking and the long-term negative effects of secondhand smoke are well-known,” said Emon. “Hopefully this makes us a better landlord than we have been. “Staff indicate there were no significant concerns expressed by the tenants moving back in,” said Emon. Vimy resident Rae Ann Dagenais, pleased to be back in her home, ap-
plauded the smoke-free policy. “I’m extremely happy that it’s non smoking and I’m able to return,” she said. While some residents of other housing units welcomed the change, others expressed doubt that the rule would be adequately enforced. The new smoke-free policy for all RCHC properties will be effective Jan. 1, 2016, which prohibits smoking on all RCHC properties. The smoke-free policy will provide added benefits of lower risk of fire, less maintenance and cleaning costs, and reduced complaints of migrating second-hand smoke.

HUNTERS Township noise bylaw to be upheld at quarry Back Country Butchers place. The court decision after the blasting accident of 2007 emphasized this fact. Meanwhile, FACT-MB struggles with debt. They has asked the Township of McNab-Braeside, which also opposed Miller at the OMB hearing and benefited from the group’s experts, to pay off the debt. Council is expected to discuss the matter soon, after it receives a report on what the township’s costs were in the OMB process. Miller spokesman and site manager Tom Jones said the company is still studying the decision. It is too late to commit to an appeal, he said. But in his view it isn’t a clear win for the neighbours. “I would say it is a partial victory for both,” Jones said. “There will be an asphalt plant at the quarry.” The community group won’t be swayed though. “It is not common for a small community organization to win against a large multinational company at OMB,” reads the press release. “So FACT-MB and their supporters could not be happier with this outcome.”
ing the group’s recommended environmental protection status; the latter would have lost at the OMB, according to the town’s release. The township indicated it will strengthen the noise bylaw and amend the minimum setbacks for property lines. “The OMB findings go a long way to ensuring that the quality of life that we all enjoy in our township will be maintained,” Peckett said.

TOWNSHIP ‘DELIGHTED’
The Township of McNab-Braeside issued a press release also, saying it is “delighted” that limits are set on the expansion. It notes the current council reversed past decisions and established a bylaw protecting residents’ property lines and ensuring no permanent asphalt plant could be built. FACT-MB’s decade-long fight against Miller must be commended the release reads, but it was council that recognized their rights. “This was never a township or FACT-MB group fight. This was a total effort by and for all of our residents,” Mayor Tom Peckett said. “Furthermore, the township thanks the Miller Group for its professionalism during this process, and we look forward to working with our good corporate residents in the future.” The township had “absorbed significant legal costs” after FACT-MB named it in the OMB suit. It also claims sole victory for protecting property lines rather than follow-
R0013535005
The township noise bylaw will be upheld; The wildlife corridor will be included with the wildlife protection area and a new zoning classification will be made to protect them both. “We won. We won big,” said Norma Moore, a member of FACT-MB. “You just never see this when a small community group wins against a multinational corporation. But we won.” The press release goes on to say it was an “enormous effort by the community over the last almost 10 years,” but that it couldn’t have been a success without the pro bono help of Ecojustice’s Linda McCaffrey. Because of her, the group also got the Canadian Environmental Law Association to take the case to the OMB. One of the key issues in the case had revolved around the installation of a temporary asphalt plant in the Braeside Quarry in September 2009. After suffering adverse effects, nine neighbours took Miller to Small Claims Court and won a decision of nuisance, trespass and negligence, thanks to the legal team of McCaffrey and Ottawa University Professor Lynda Collins. The decision of nuisance stood up on appeal at the superior court. Neighbours are still taking Miller to court for the adverse effects suffered in 2010 and 2011. In response, Miller has argued that a permanent asphalt plant would be more environmentally friendly than a temporary one. However, were a permanent asphalt plant permitted, the risk of water contamination would be too great, Denhez decided. At the OMB hearing in March, Miller had 12 expert witnesses compared to FACTMB’s three experts. Miller had three-quarters of the time at the hearing. But the resident group’s experts were “top notch and our lay witnesses and participants had powerful testimony,” says FACT’s news release. FACT-MB blasting engineer, Dr. Sam Kiger, stated that structural damage to neighbouring homes was just a matter of time if proper setbacks from the quarry were not in

Practical help at the core of Christian group’s mission
FOUNTAIN TOUR
Stepping foot inside, all the happiness and optimism of an elementary school is there. A bustling place with volunteers and clients alike (sometimes one and the same) are coming and going. They are in the kitchen pulling fresh buns – mischievously called “Nuns’ farts” - out of the oven.

Yet The Fountain’s founder insists that practical help is at the core of what they do. “Somebody asked me 30 years ago: if God would grant me one wish, what would it be,” said Lois Bogar from her office at the Mary Street location. “I said to start a service centre to help people with their practical needs.” It started out modestly enough. In 1999 they had a phone. People would call and they would put them in touch with organizations that could help: legal aid, mental health services, women’s shelters and others. Referral services remain a big part of what takes place at The Fountain. But in 2003 a physical presences was created at Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church. Then, on Oct. 29, 2009, The Fountain moved into the former school (built in 1988). It hasn’t been without challenges. A fire in June 2010 and a break-in a few short weeks ago might discourage some. But Bogar is not one to be deterred. She said the organization is transitioning from a startup to one that is hitting its stride. These days it is less about working out kinks than in making services roll even more efficiently.

Reverse Hydro One sale plan
W
hen New Democrats and Progressive Conservatives agree that an impeding decision is a bad idea, the general public should take heed. The Ontario Liberal government’s plan to sell off 60 per cent control of Hydro One has a long list of opponents from across the political spectrum. PC leader Patrick Brown and NDP leader Andrea Horwath both issued press releases denouncing the idea. The Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Toronto Sun editorial board also vehemently oppose the notion. So why is Premier Kathleen Wynne willing to hand political capital over to enemies on both sides by trudging ahead with the sale? She would say proceeds from the sale will be spent on transportation infrastructure. Better subways and other public transit projects would provide jobs and result in higher productivity, hence more tax revenue. There are a couple of things wrong with this argument. First, the sale would only bring in somewhere between $3.3 and $5 billion (after paying off the utility’s debt), according to a report by new financial accountability officer Stephen LeClair. Consider that Hydro One earns about $750 million a year in total profits. And it hands the province another $100 million a year in payments in lieu of taxes. Those billions of dollars from the sale would have been earned in a few more years through profit and payments. That’s why so many critics are saying this: The sale is short-term gain for long-term pain. Not only that, but a privatized Hydro One could legally manage to avoid paying taxes for
another five years. Second, the government shouldn’t hold a “fire sale” to use the PC catchphrase when interest rates are at rock-bottom. The Liberals could take a cue from their federal counterparts and simply borrow the money to pay for infrastructure. To say the sale is needed to stimulate the economy is a red herring. They can get the money elsewhere. Unless, of course, there is a more nefarious reason behind the planned sale. Wynne promised a balanced budget by 2017-18. She could be gambling that voters, during the 2018 election, forget about the sale yet remember her kept promise. Thus reward her for achieving a balanced budget. But the balanced budget promise isn’t the trump card it once was, as Stephen Harper’s federal Conservatives learned the hard way in the October election. Progressives often fear the hard work they put in to building public services and institutions will be sold by right wing parties for the promise of lower tax bills. So make no mistake, were a conservative government proposing to sell off a money-making venture like Hydro One, the outrage would be nuclear. A willingness to sacrifice the next four years or more for the current four is the central weakness of democracy. Everyone from the fascist to the Marxist argues that democracy operates in short-term cycles while ignoring big picture issues like crumbling health care systems and climate change. When it comes to Wynne’s proposition, progressives should ask themselves if she really is one of them. They may conclude that she is testing democracy’s weak spot.
MPP goes extra mile for constituents To the Editor: Ostomy patients living with a colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy can thank our local MPP John Yakabuski for helping to increase the ADP (assistive device program) funding. He listened to our plea to help Renfrew County ostomates. He championed our cause! Letters and emails from our ostomy members along with his own letters and meetings with Health Minister Eric Hoskins, helped to
increase the grant 31 per cent, effective Sept. 1, 2015. An additional increase starts Sept. 1, 2016. Mr. Yakabuski is only one person in the largest country, but he cares for his constituents and goes the extra mile. He knows that Renfrew County people deserve better health care.

topic. Similarly, the Israel of former PM Harper and PM Netanyahu is the State of Israel. It was founded in 1945 from land taken from a former British colony called Palestine or Philistine. The movement to create the State of Israel really started in the late 1880’s. The Land of Israel or the Children of Israel refer to the biblical Kingdom of Israel, not to be confused with the modern state. See IF PEOPLE page 9

Reliance on oil a reality for the foreseeable future, making pipelines necessary To the Editor: This is in response to Adam Scott’s letter (Chronicle-Guide, Oct. 29), which raised questions about the need for the Energy East Pipeline Project. The reality is that Canadi-
ans will continue to rely on oil for the foreseeable future, not only for fuel but also as a base material for countless products we use every day, from smart phones and clothing to medical supplies. How we get oil to mar-
kets across the country is, therefore, vitally important. In the absence of a pipeline connection to western Canada’s abundant reserves, refineries in Quebec and New Brunswick are importing hundreds of thou-

Many of the discussions or debates in the Jewish faith pertain to the question of the State versus the Kingdom. Many feel that the State violates the Three Oaths. The Hasidic that do return (perform Aliyah) do so as individuals so they do not violate the stricture of mass emigration. John Stott, one of the founders of the worldwide Evangelical movement, claimed “The true Israel today is neither Jews nor Israelis, but believers in the Messiah, even if they are Gentiles.” Canada was not founded on the principles of Moses from Is-
rael. We do have a strong JudeoChristian tradition intermingled with Indigenous teachings. We have also embraced many religious traditions from all over the world. In Arnprior we have over 30 churches in such a small community and we do not yet have a mosque or a synagogue. One of the earliest monotheist religions, Zoroastrianism, was active in Midian perhaps at the time of Moses. Fire was an important symbol for the followers and their basic creed is familiar to all of us in various versions. They believed: • Good thoughts, Good words, Good deeds
• There is only one path and that is the path of truth • Do the right thing because it is the right thing to do, and then all beneficial rewards will come to you also The concept of abandoning our traditional neutrality in the Middle East, and denying the rights of all people in the area but residents of the State of Israel disgusted and appalled the majority of Canadians.

Some three million more Canadians voted at this federal general election than at the 2011 election, resulting in the highest voter turnout in more than 20 years.

The tentative deal will take effect after it has been ratified by both parties, and once a central tentative agreement has also been reached.
The tentative agreement will cover school board employees such as clerical, secretarial and Information technology staff. “The RCDSB trustees are delighted we have a tentative local collective agreement with our support staff,” said school board Chair Dave Shields.

This November, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa wants you to know a little more about some of the children living right in our city. Children of all ages and backgrounds need a foundation to build their lives on. A foundation helps in healthy development and creates a sense of self-worth; to feel a sense of belonging. Children get that foundation from a permanent family who cares for them. But due to any number of reasons, children sometimes come into the care of The Children's Aid Society of Ottawa. In the rare case where they can’t return home, a child will then begin a journey that will hopefully end with them finding stability through adoption. Adoption isn't just beneficial for the children. Adoptive parents can add fulfilment and joy to their lives as well. They haven’t simply done a good thing, they will also develop rewarding and lifelong bonds.

More predictions for the upcoming season In a previous column I had made a few predictions of what might be around this winter. One was that there might be a lot of Blue Jays because of a reasonable acorn crop. However, one reader reported that the Red Oaks near Constance Bay had few acorns this year. It may well be that the acorn crop is not large everywhere in our area and that White Oaks in some parts may be yielding larger crops. With lots of fruit still available, American Robins are around in large numbers and I suspect many will be stay for at least the first part of winter. But in addition to some birds of summer lingering, there should be species from the north. Already there have been reports of Snowy Owls in the Ottawa Valley and farther south in Ontario. This is quite early and we might again experience another big winter for those Arcticnesting birds. Snowy Owls only arrive here in large num-
Redpolls glean tiny seeds from alders and wildflowers. When redpolls arrive here, weed seeds are favoured, as is niger seed in birdfeeders. Could the redpoll I heard be a sign that large numbers of these animated birds are soon to follow? Perhaps, because several times over the past 20-plus years I encountered Common Redpolls at the very end of August in Algonquin Park, months before they usually appear there. In those years, in the months to come huge numbers of redpolls descended on southern Ontario and stayed for the winter. Peter Whelan, author of a national bird column for the Globe and Mail, called my unprecedented early sightings that foretold of a huge movement of redpolls: “the Runtz indicator.” I am writing this column just after Hurricane Patricia brought strong southwest winds to Ontario. I spent MICHAEL RUNTZ Thursday morning in Presqu’ile Pro- This might be a good winter for seeing Common Redvincial Park where the winds were polls in our area. so strong that falling leaves actually became airborne missiles that hurt Ontario, my goal went unfulfilled. my face when they struck. But today might be different, so off I go to I was hoping the winds would bring some Tundra Swans as well as thousands of sea ducks were seeking shelter the winds at southern flycatcher or a Cave Swallow, but Wolfe Island. Stay tuned for what I see!

bers when they had a good nesting season up north and literally ate themselves out of house and home. When lemmings and vole populations are depleted, the owls leave and, being as far north Michael Runtz as they are, their only option is to Nature’s Way head south. When Meadow Vole populations are high in our region, many Snowy Owls stop here. Such a phenomenon occurred two years ago. Are we in for another winter filled with these beautiful white owls? Or will they continue on their way farther south? Only time will tell. A much smaller northern bird might also arrive here in larger than usual numbers. Recently I had a Common Redpoll fly over me near Kingston. These goldfinch-sized, rosy finches nest from the edge of the tree-line in Ontario all the way north to northern Labrador, Alaska, and Greenland.

Another Valley title for ADHS rugby team Staff
The Arnprior District High School Girls rugby team captured its sixth consecutive Upper Ottawa Valley championship with a dominant 65-7 victory over Bishop Smith Oct. 27. Coach Glenn Wallace credited the victory on a total team performance. The forward pack completely dominated the physical exchanges and the back line exploited the space available with an unstoppable combination of power and pace, he said. ADHS reached the final with a 86-0 over Mackenzie in the semifinal. Arnprior finished the regular season 5-0 with a 78-0 win over RCI. This season ADHS used a combination of power, speed, and skill that their opponents simply could not match, outscoring the opposition by a collective 503-7 in seven games. The girls look forward to playing in the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) championship in the spring, hopefully earning an OFSAA berth.

Sylvester appointed Arnprior Packers GM scottcampbell@metroland.com
The Arnprior Packers were quiet on the game front this past week, which left time for some behind-thescenes action to make up for it. On Oct. 21, Brent Sylvester left the Renfrew Timberwolves, where he was general manager. The story took a surprise turn with the announcement less than a week later that Sylvester is now GM for the Packers. Arnprior made the appointment official on Oct. 27. Sylvester, who works in Arnprior, had been with Renfrew for 15 years. Sylvester replaces Bill Griese, who will concentrate on coaching the Packers. “I have never embraced the GM
role,” said Griese. “I did it because it was a way to ensure that only the coaching staff and I had the final say on all player movement and selection. (Packers owner) Marco (Scapillati) has helped out with meetings and now Brent, will take over full duties.” Sylvester said there were changes in the Renfrew Timberwolves board of directors that resulted in conflict of duties in coaching and management. “These board members have a lack of knowledge of the operations of junior hockey. I cannot be a ‘Yes’ man and (that) in turn led to my dismissal,” he said. “I felt the time was right to move forward with my knowledge and bring it to the Arnprior Packers.
“I am very excited to be joining Arnprior and look forward to the new challenge. I hope we as a team can reach our goals as well as looking for the team to continue and build off R0013534205_1105

Pool closure tough on swim club The Arnprior Optimist Club has given the Arnprior Blue Fish Swim Club Blue Fish a donation to help it survive the temporary closure of the Nick Smith Centre pool. Blue Fish is a notfor-profit, competitive youth swim team that has been part of the athletic community of Arnprior since the early 1970s. Unfortunately the club was dealt a blow with the loss of a grant, but it felt it could manage with a
full season of registrations. However, when the club found out that the Nick Smith Centre pool would be under renovations until January, it resulted in a shortened season. This created a financial shortfall that threatened the viability of the club. The Optimist donation will help the swimming club meet its main goal is to ensure the shorter swim season does not create a negative drain
Optimist president Wes Schnob presents Patrick McIntyre, community fundraiser for the Arnprior Blue Fish Swim Club, a cheque to support the club through a tough patch. on its solvency and that it can continue to charge “reasonable
fees” so as many children as possible can participate.

Another undefeated season for girls basketball The two Arnprior District High School girls basketball teams wrapped up their regular seasons undefeated last week. However, they may have to play their playoff games on the road if repairs to their school gymnasium aren’t completed by today (Nov. 5). The senior girls’ basketball team travelled to Pembroke Oct. 29 to play their last league game and came home with another undefeated regular season record (8-0_.

ADHS won a fairly close game to lock up first place in league play. The seniors jumped out to a fast start, outscoring the Raiders 13-5 in the first quarter. The Raiders clawed back, but the Redmen held on to an 18-15 lead going into halftime. In the end the Redmen ladies were

and what can be done to cut back and deal with the debt. Unfortunately, couples may separate and not know how their debts will be divided and what happens if the other spouse defaults after separation. If you and your spouse separate, you need to divide your assets as well as your debts. How is this done?
A: Who’s responsible for which debt? Generally speaking, whoever incurred the debt is responsible for it. For instance, if you have a credit card account in your name only without a joint card holder, if you signed a bank loan or line of credit agreement without a co-signor or if you owe income taxes, you are the only one responsible for that debt. Things get a little more complicated, however, when debt contracts are signed jointly with your spouse. How will you divide joint debts? You and your spouse may be able to reach an agreement on how to divide your debts. For example, you could agree to pay Creditor A and he/she agrees to pay Creditor B, and so on. In most cases, the spouse who keeps a certain asset (i.e. a car or a boat) will also take over the debt for that asset. It’s critical to remember, however, that if you and your spouse have a joint debt, you both remain legally responsible for its full amount. In other words, as far as your creditors are concerned, if either of you fails to make the payments, the other is still on the hook for the amount owing—regardless of what you may have agreed between you. This holds true even if one of you is bankrupt: as long as the other remains
solvent, creditors can collect the debt from the non-bankrupt spouse. Your lawyer may be able to provide you with some protection against this in your separation agreement. We’re not separated—how can we avoid these problems? If you and your spouse are still together and are carrying too much debt, now is the time to plan ahead by not incurring additional debt. Now is the time to speak to a Trustee who is a trained insolvency professional. A Trustee will review your situation in detail and provide you with the advice you need to make the best financial decisions possible. The Trustee will consider various options including consolidation loans, family loans, refinancing a mortgage, consumer proposals and bankruptcy. If a formal solution is recommended, only a licensed Trustee can help you file a consumer proposal or a bankruptcy. If you are burdened with debt stress, asking for sound advice is a sign of strength and the smart thing to do. Asking sooner rather than later is always better. Call Doyle Salewski today for your free, no obligation consultation. You’ll be glad you did.

HEATHER LANG/SUBMITTED
Dr. Ronald Lang addresses Waterloo University graduates after receiving an honorary doctorate of letters, his fourth degree from the university. The 81-year-old former director of research and legislation for the Canadian Labour Congress received the honour in recognition of his major contributions to protecting workers’ rights and developing public policy. He urged the graduates to help reverse the recent trend away from a caring, compassionate society and decried the growing gap between rich and poor. He received a standing ovation.
An Arnprior area man has received an honorary doctorate of laws degree in recognition of his service to working Canadians and his influence on public policy. Dr. Ronald William Lang, the former director of research and legislation for the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), received the honour this summer from Waterloo University. He was recognized for his efforts in protecting workers’ rights in many areas, including combatting the federal government’s efforts to bring in wage controls. In introducing him, the university’s dean of arts Douglas Peers said Lang has an “outstanding record” in public service, working for the labour movement and developing public policy. He participated at the highest levels in furthering the CLC’s top policy issues, Peers added. He noted that Lang’s thesis on the Canadian and British pharmaceutical industry and governments is still often cited in discussions on the topic. In his address to the graduates,
Lang told them they are the future of the country and will determine whether Canada would continue along the path of having very rich and very poor as has happened in the past 15-20 years or become a more caring compassionate society, “as there was at one time.” He appealed to them to “in the everyday actions of your new graduate life, to do what small things you can to reverse the present trend in society” that is leading to of the widening gap between rich and poor. Dr. Lang said the decline in membership of trade unions, which are under attack by the media, governments and corporations, coincides with the demise of the middle class. He said he never criticizes wage increases negotiated by unions, but cringes when CEOs making millions blame unions for pricing companies out of the market. And he gets upset when he reads that 86 of the richest Canadians own more than the 11 million poorest and that 60,000 Canadian children go to bed hungry each night. Lang thanked Waterloo University for making the rare move of bestowing an honour on a trade unionist.
He also thanked the university for accepting him as a student at the age of 31 with four children and a Grade 10 education. And he thanked two of his professors and his wife, Birthe, for making it possible for him to go back to school, which led to such a successful career. Dr. Lang and his family lived in Arnprior for close to 20 years before he and his wife retired to a property in Vydon Acres just outside Galetta about 25 years ago. Lang was born in St. Marys in 1933 to Marion Grieve and Judge Harold DeFoe Lang, former mayor of St. Marys and a Perth County court judge. From age 19, he worked the family farm until the land was expropriated in the early 1960s. He was also a cheesemaker and labourer at Canada Cement in Woodstock. He served as president of Local 368 of United Cement Lime and Gypsum Workers from 1961 to 1964 and in 1963 was president of Woodstock and District Labour Council, where he is an honourary life member.

RemembRance Day
“In Flanders Fields” In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
november 11
The Poppy Is a Symbol of Wartime Remembrance The poppy has stood as the official symbol of Canada’s Remembrance Day since 1921, a visual reminder of all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for war. Some may wonder why this small flower is used to represent the fallen soldier. Poppies and fallen soldiers have a long history together. The origins of the flower can be traced back to the Napoleonic wars in France. During these times of unrest and battle, many soldiers went on to final resting places in graves in Flanders, France. Ensuing literature describing how poppies grew so thickly
and vibrantly over these graves — in soil that once could not produce much vegetation. Years later, a soldier would be instrumental in bringing the symbol of the poppy to the hearts and minds of Canadians. When John McCrae served in World War I as a Lieutenant-Colonel, he was stationed near Ypres, Belgium, the area traditionally called Flanders. McCrae observed how poppies grew so well among the makeshift graves of the soliders, which were marked by wooden crosses. When McCrae lost a fellow soldier and close friend, he penned a poem called “In Flanders Fields” and portrayed the picture of war and the poppy flower visual.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Dr. Lang defended workers in wage control, metric, postal deliberations Continued from Page 23
After attending Labour College at the universities of McGill and Montreal on a Canadian Labour Congress scholarship, where he graduated with ‘great distinction, he went to the University of Waterloo as an adult student. He received his BA and MA from that institution in political science before earning a Canada Council of the Arts scholarship to study for his PhD at the London School of Economics in London, England. He later served Waterloo University as a member of the President’s Committee and honourary chairman of a fundraising committee to establish the Stanley Knowles Visiting Professorship in the Canadian Studies Program. He married Birthe Simonsen (they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in June) and they had five children: Harold and Heather (a McNab-Braeside councillor), Stephen, John, and Christopher. When Lang joined the Canadian Labour Congress in 1972, the family moved to Arnprior from the Stratford area. They lived in the house across the street from the Kirkman house, now occupied by Dr. Christine Schriver. He served as the Labour Congress’s director of legislation from 1972-75 and its director of research and legislation from 1975-78. From 1973 to 1975, he negotiated with an interdepartmental committee set up by John Turner to head off wage controls. From 197578, he was responsible for formulating the Labour Congress policy to fight wage controls. He chaired numerous meetings with deputy ministers on getting rid of controls and, with the

November is...
Today, there are more than nine million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes. With more than 20 people being newly diagnosed with the disease every hour of every day, chances are that diabetes affects you or someone you know.
What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic, often debilitating and sometimes fatal disease, in which the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that controls the amount of glucose in the blood. Diabetes leads to high levels of glucose in the blood, which can damage organs, blood vessels and nerves. The body needs insulin to use glucose as an energy source. What is the pancreas and what does it do? The pancreas is an organ that sits behind the stomach and releases hormones into the digestive system. In the healthy body, when blood glucose levels get too high, special cells in the pancreas (called beta cells) release insulin. Insulin is a hormone and it causes cells to take in glucose to use as energy or to store as fat. This causes blood glucose levels to go back down.
What is type 1 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and kills the beta cells of the pancreas. No, or very little, insulin is released into the body. As a result, glucose builds up in the blood instead of being used as energy. About 5-10 per cent of people with diabetes have type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes generally develops in childhood or adolescence, but can develop in adulthood. Type 1 diabetes is always treated with insulin. Meal planning also helps with keeping blood glucose at the right levels. Type 1 diabetes also includes latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), the term used to describe the small number of people with apparent type 2 diabetes 26 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, November 5, 2015
who appear to have immune-mediated loss of pancreatic beta cells.
What is type 2 diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body can’t properly use the insulin that is released (called insulin insensitivity) or does not make enough insulin. As a result, glucose builds up in the blood instead of being used as energy. About 90 per cent of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes more often develops in adults, but children can be affected. Depending on the severity of type 2 diabetes, it may be managed through physical activity and meal planning, or may also require medications and/or insulin to control blood glucose more effectively. What is gestational diabetes? A third type of diabetes, gestational diabetes, is a temporary condition that occurs during pregnancy. It affects approximately 2 to 4 per cent of all pregnancies (in the non-Aboriginal population) and involves an increased risk of developing diabetes for both mother and child.
What are the complications of diabetes?
Having high blood glucose can cause diabetes-related complications, like chronic kidney disease, foot problems, non-traumatic lower limb (leg, foot, toe, etc.) amputation, eye disease (retinopathy) that can lead to blindness, heart attack, stroke, anxiety, nerve damage, and erectile dysfunction (men). Diabetes-related complications can be very serious and even life-threatening. Properly managing blood glucose levels reduces the risk of developing these complications. h t t p : / / w w w. d i a b e t e s. c a / d i a b e t e s - a n d - yo u / complications” Learn more about the complications of diabetes. - See more at: http://www.diabetes.ca/about-diabetes/ what-is-diabetes#sthash.KMucbQUE.dpuf

Chalk Paint™ Workshop! Sat, November 14th 1pm to 4pm
CINDRA PROULX/SUBMITTED
Pineridge pumpkins popular Kate McEwen’s groups designed their own Halloween pumpkins last week at the Pineridge Children’s Centre in Arnprior. The result was a large number of creative works of art, some humourous and some downright scary.
Join us at The Square Nail to learn everything you need to transform your old and worn out furniture with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™! Working on sample pieces of wood, you’ll learn the most important basic techniques: Rustic Finish, Modern Finish, Two-colour Distressed, and Colour Wash. After the painting, you’ll learn everything you need to know about Annie Sloan’s Soft Wax, learning the proper techniques for both the Clear Wax and the Dark Wax. This workshop requires no previous experience and is great for the beginner, but also useful for those who have already been using Chalk Paint™ but would like improve their technique.
Cost is $90
Spots are limited. You can book your spot by calling 613-408-6245, emailing
(shop@thesquarenail.ca)
or by visiting the shop.

Light Up the Night keeps children entertained, safe The Light Up The Night kids event for Halloween hosted by several churches in Arnprior was a great success by organizers and those attending. Organizers Bev Moorhead and Beth Carlson joined with more than 30 volunteers to provide a safe, fun kids event for Halloween night. The parking lot of River Stone Christian Fellowship on Madawaska Street was buzzing with activities and games as neighbourhood kids gathered in costume to try their abilities and collect treats. Volunteers were stationed at events such as pumpkin bowling, ball tosses and hoop throwing to welcome children and oversee the activities.
Looney tunes cartoons were shown on a large screen outdoors for all to enjoy, along with free coffee for parents. Inside the building, many were excited about crawling through the black light tunnel, and even some parents gave it a try. Children’s names were entered in a draw for gifts that will be delivered to their homes by the volunteers. The event is sponsored every year by a group of local churches - Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church, Arnprior Wesleyan Church, The Oasis and River Stone Christian Fellowship. From all the volunteers: “Thanks to all who came and enjoyed the evening with us.”
Above left, Jayden Collier carryin his legs in a box and his friend Josiah Draper grab some chips at the Light Up The Night party at River Stone Christian Fellowship Church in Arnprior Halloween evening. Above,‘Cabbage Patch’ baby Amara Stewart, with mom Darcy Stewart and big brother Xander, was one of the youngest attendees. For more photopgraphs, see page 33.

Rwandan peace builder to speak at Arnprior church Enid Blackwell
A unique opportunity is coming this month when Jean de Dieu Basabose, a noted Rwandan peace builder, speaks of his work at a dinner on Saturday, Nov. 14 in Arnprior. The presentation at 5:30 p.m. in St. John’s Lutheran Church is part of a tour sponsored by the Arnprior and Area Chapter of the Canadian Peace Initiative. Many have some remembrance of the Rwandan genocide because of the experience of Roméo Dallaire, retired senator and former commander of the Rwandan UN peacekeeping force, but few Canadians have had the opportunity to meet Rwandans who are now leading their citizens in promoting reconciliation and peace education. Jean de Dieu Basabose is one such leader. In his first visit to Canada, Dr. Basabose will be speaking of the work of Shalom, Educating for Peace and seeking local support. This non-governmental,
Jean De Dieu Basabose non-profit organization empowers communities of varying ages, backgrounds, occupations and faiths to work towards sustainable reconciliation through peace education, research and non-violent action. It especially reaches children, those who are less advantaged and the many who suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Members of the local Canadian Peace Initiative Chapter
are pleased to support Basabose’s visit, and they believe his work in reconciliation is very relevant to Canadians working to reconcile their own history of oppression as experienced by indigenous peoples over the generations. Such learning and support is a multi-directional exchange. Basabose’s first local presentation was held Tuesday, Nov. 3 at the Galilee Centre. Another opportunity to meet with him is at the Nov. 14 dinner at the Lutheran church, 49 McLachlin St. South. All are welcome. There is no charge for dinner, but freewill donations to Shalom are invited. Please phone Enid at 613623-7017 to reserve your place. Walk-ins are also welcome. If your group would like to arrange its own meeting with Basabose, call Theresa Dunn at 613-897-5055. You may also lend support directly by going to the Shalom website: www.shalomeducatingforpeace.org.

It seemed to happen when the weather changed from warm sunny days to a snap in the air, and when flakes of ice formed all around the watering trough in the barnyard. I just couldn’t put my finger on it, but I was old enough to know there was a change in Mother, and it happened at the same time of the year. What could it be? What had brought it on? Maybe she was worried that we would have enough food to last us over the coming winter. But that couldn’t be. The cellar was full of preserves and canned vegetables, the smoke house full of meat, and the big barrel of sauerkraut was already out in the summer kitchen beside the smaller barrel of pickled herring. No, it couldn’t be because Mother was worried about our starving to death. But there was no doubt there was a change in her, and I could feel it in the very depth of my bones. My older and much wiser sister Audrey, if she sensed it too, wouldn’t talk about it. All she said was “it will pass,” as if that would satisfy me, which it didn’t. Mother stopped playing her harmonica in the evening. She would bring her diaries down out of the back-to-the-wall cupboard, open one, and never raise a pencil to write in
which she had brought from New York when she moved to Renfrew County. She took a blue glass pitcher out of the parlour, which sat next to the bible and put it in the centre of the table. It too had come from New York. She told Audrey to set the table and to use the dishes that had come in bags of puffed wheat from Briscoe’s General Store. The table looked like we were expecting the Queen for dinner! Mother changed into a velvet dress. It too had come from New York, and was only worn for very special occasions. Father, who wasn’t much for any change to his routine, or for fancying up the house, said nothing. He had been through this before. We sat down at the table with its shiny linen tablecloth, as many matched dishes as Audrey would find, and our usual ample dinner. Supper would be the same as it always was on a Sunday night: a repeat of the noon meal. After we had redded up the kitchen, the white table cloth put with the pile of laundry awaiting the Monday wash, the lamps lit, shooting shards of light into the corners of the darkening room, Mother went to the back door and opened it wide. The cold night air blew in. She stood there, quietly, for the longest time looking out into the black yard. Then

it .... just staring at a blank page. She would tap the end of the pencil on the oilcloth covering the table, and it would make a steady ‘plop, plop’, and I would watch her closely, but not a word was put in her diary. She still made our meals. They were as hearty as ever. There were still rows of pies on the bake table, and the smell of fresh bread met us as we came home from the Northcote School. None of that changed. It was Mother herself who had changed, and I got an ache in the pit of my stomach and when we said our silent prayers in bed, I prayed that whatever was bothering my mother would go away. And then one day, it was a Sunday, and we had come home from church, changed into our better-than-school clothes, when Mother sent Audrey up to the trunk in the hall and asked her to bring down the big white linen tablecloth. The white linen tablecloth? It was only used at Easter and Christmas, and was one of Mother’s most cherished possessions,
she sighed, as if it was coming from her boot tops, and closed the door and just stood there quietly, saying nothing. Then she took down her diaries, and her scrapbooks, sharpened her pencils with a kitchen knife, and began to write. I couldn’t say she had completely lost that melancholy look, but I was relieved to see that her mood had changed. It was almost as if she was saying “so be it,” a phrase she used often. When we went to bed, I begged Audrey to tell me what had happened. She put her face close to my ear so that no one but me could hear and she told me that just before Fall changed to Winter, our mother knew that for months ahead of her, she would be shut inside our old log house. There would be no escape, and that was the time she longed most for her beloved New York. Audrey said, Mother would be almost sick with loneliness for the life she used to have so far away. When Audrey told me I fell asleep with tears wetting my pillow. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

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!
