vert it into a municipal campground. Or to do anything else on a property that, by most accounts, has been a wasted tourism opportunity for some 30 years or more. The remaining descendents of the Bell family - who years ago bequeathed the park strategically located where the Ottawa and Madawaska rivers meet - no longer live in town. Some say they live in Montreal, maybe Toronto. They don’t even hold the Bell name anymore. Mayor David Reid said the first step in developing the property would be to ask their permission, not resort to legal means.

His Arnprior congregation will come together Sunday with the Red Velvet Choir from Arnprior District High School and Robert Smith, an accomplished local piper, to honour those who died while serving Canada in war operations. “Our Remembrance Day service is always special at Grace-St. Andrew’s, but this year it will have added meaning,” said Rev. Love. “I have the privilege of supporting the troops of the National Sentry Program as their Padre. These young men and women have distinguished themselves by reclaiming the sacred space of the Tomb on the Unknown Soldier. In so doing, they honour Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and have inspired the nation.
“We are especially excited this year to welcome Red Velvet to our church to share their gift of music.” Everyone in the community is invited to be part of the church’s Remembrance Day service Sunday at 269 John St. North beginning at 10 a.m.

A Chronicle-Guide editorial last month renewed calls for a municipal campground at Bell Park, situated at the mouth of the Madawaska and Ottawa rivers. Town officials have given lukewarm approval but point to numerous hurdles, not the least of which is ownership. The land was bequeathed to the town by a family that may no longer have local connections.

governments get involved and progress can grind to a halt. “It gets pretty complicated pretty fast,” Wildman said. He likes the editorial’s idea of increasing cycling around the waterfront. (There may not be enough critical mass to make public bikes worthwhile.) And outdoor programs such as pilates or yoga in the park could work. Healthy living and tourism initiatives are concepts upper levels of government support with grant money. The town’s top bureaucrat also points to a long-term planning document that will deal with the waterfront as a whole in 2016 and 2017. A campground “may be” a good idea, but staff isn’t prepared to move anything having to do with Bell Park at the moment. Still, Wildman is willing to listen to any potential partners. “I would never shut the door to anything,” he said. “But it has to make good business sense.”
INSIDE
It isn’t even clear if the town would win in court. But he agrees the land as it stands is underutilized. “We need to do something more than we are doing at Bell Park,” Reid said, adding that the family turned down a request in the 1980s to covert the park into a campground. “It’s a shame we are not doing more with it.” Overgrown and largely impassable, the oval-shaped park has a gravel road leading to an infrequently used huntand-game club. A yacht club is located on the southern side. A spectacular view of the Ottawa with enough space for about 20 tent sites marks the northern side. A recent editorial in the Chronicle-Guide endorsed the idea of a campground at the park. Big Joe Mufferaw campground? It pointed out that a sign at the entrance says the park is for the enjoyment of children. Few, if any, go there on the
regular basis. Reid is withholding judgment on the idea, waiting instead for the results of a recreation master plan. He favours the idea of offering pontoon rides, canoe and kayak rentals and similar activities. Reid also agrees with the idea of selling getaway packages, offering a full day of activities to attract campers from the city and elsewhere. But the campground idea may create more problems than solutions, he notes. Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce president Wes Schnob is big on bringing outside dollars to town. The barriers, however, seem insurmountable to him too. Longtime parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur said he has talked about a campground at Bell Park for 20 years. He is all for it. Town chief administrative officer Michael Wildman and town planner Robin Smith are also hesitant. When it comes to developing next to water, the provincial and federal

Poppy campaign up and running in Arnprior Sherry Haaima
sherry.haaima@metroland.com
News – The annual poppy campaign officially began in town Oct. 31 with a ceremonial pinning of the first poppy on Arnprior Mayor David Reid. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 174 president Harry Hereford and second vice-president/poppy chair Brian Kilby were at Arnprior town hall to do the honours. Legion members and cadets have been out with poppies since last Friday and will continue to collect donations and hand out poppies until Nov. 11, leading up to local Remembrance ceremonies, which take place at the cenotaph in front of the Arnprior hospital. This year’s reviewing officer is Leonard Spinks. Norma Dixon is the Sherry Haaima/Metroland Silver Cross Mother. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 174 president Harry Hereford pins Arnprior’s first poppy on town Mayor Spinks, who was born in Almonte, David Reid as the Legion’s second vice-president/poppy chair Brian Kilby looks on. was first attached to the Toronto Scottish Vicars Machine Gun Regiment, erans and soldiers.

cently in Ottawa and Montreal has brought an added poignancy to and interest in this year’s Remembrance ceremonies, bringing the sacrifice made by veterans even closer to home. What some don’t realize is how much effort goes into the poppy campaign each year. “There’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes,” said Kilby. “I’d like to thank all the volunteers that help us.” Kilby said he is just amazed each year at the volunteers, including an 87-year-old veteran who will be volunteering at local stations with poppies. Local officials would like to see more participation from younger veterans, including those from Desert Storm and Afghanistan. The Legion is also looking to attract younger members. “We’re bouncing around ideas on how to engage younger people,” said Kilby. All poppy donations are used by the Legion to support veterans. A long-time supporter of the local hospital, the Legion would like to soon present another donation to Arnprior Regional Health.

Many changes on county council for new term steve.newman@metroland.com
News – The people have decided that change was needed in many Renfrew County municipalities. Only four of 17 Renfrew County councillors were re-elected in the Oct. 27 municipal election, while Warden Peter Emon also returns, but as reeve for the Town of Renfrew. Following the election, Emon thanked all those who ran for office, successfully or unsuccessfully. “I would like to extend congratulations to everyone who let their name stand, their families and the volunteers who put out signs, knocked on doors, and gave of themselves in support of a democratic process,” said Emon in a news release. “We are better for your efforts, and your ex-
ample of civic service truly represents who we are in Renfrew County.” The only four Renfrew County council members re-elected to the municipalities they represented for 2010-14 are acclaimed Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, Bonnechere Valley Mayor Jennifer Murphy, Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards Mayor Janice Visneskie Moore and acclaimed Petawawa Mayor Bob Sweet. Warden Emon will return to county council after ending this term as mayor of Greater Madawaska. As newly elected reeve of Renfrew, Emon will be the town’s county councillor. Consequently, he is in position to pursue a third straight term as county warden, which he said last week he will do. As of early this week, no one else had indicated they would be challenging him.

EDITORIAL
Advice for a new council P
eople get the government they deserve, so goes the phrase. Usually it is meant negatively, as in apathy and inattention lead to charlatans taking over the seat of power. But sometimes the phrase can be meant as a positive. That is the case for many Renfrew County municipalities following last week’s municipal elections. There can be no doubt that voters overwhelming supported the call for change. In McNab-Braeside many residents were convinced the current council had to go when they paid no stead to the reading and recreation group’s petition. It can’t get much worse for your administration then normally peaceful people going door to door pleading for a signature to endorse, wait for it, literacy and wellness. That is a clear sign things have gone off the
rails. It is a surprise that all incumbents decided to run again after that issue alone. That aside, under the leadership of major-elect Tom Peckett, the new council has its work cut out for itself. They will quickly learn, as all newcomers to any level of politics learn, that the wheels of democracy turn painfully slow. And for good reason, even mistakes that seem minor at when made, can linger and impact several departments and aspects of life. They would be wise to follow Arnprior’s direction under Mayor David Reid (who won a second term by acclamation.) Be willing to spend time and money finding the best municipal staff possible and listen to them; learn how municipal goverance works; make decisions in a prudent fashion with the long-term impacts in mind. And keep your head and heart in the right place.
LETTERS
Congratulations on setting township in new and positive direction To the Editor: A year ago over 2,200 voices fell on deaf ears. Last week they were heard, loud and very clear. McNab-Braeside Residents for Reading and Recreation was formed in 2012 when the need arose to stand up for literacy and long-term health in our community, as it became increasingly apparent that the existing council felt them no longer important enough services to fund through the tax base. It has been a long fight and one we certainly could not have undertaken without the countless hours put in by all the volunteers over the years. Acquiring over 2,200 signatures on a petition, door-to-door, is a truly
monumental task. So to all the canvassers, all the committee members both past and present, all the callers over the last few weeks who manned the phones to encourage those that signed the petition to be heard and vote, and last but most certainly not least, to you, the voters who took a stand, held your council to account and made your voices heard loud and clear, we want to say a very heartfelt thank you. As a community we should be proud of ourselves. In these times of voter apathy, we chose not to be complacent, but rather we took a stand and demanded better from our elected officials. This should stand as a lesson to all

Parking spaces too small for some vehicles To the Editor: On July 28, I was ticketed in a ‘handicap’ parking space. I had my ‘handicap sticker’ in the window. I was fined $20 and went in that day and paid it. My truck was over the line because the parking space was too small. I have cancer and have had to go for chemo treatments. This was the reason I had not dealt with this earlier. The parking space I was in was located beside Giant Tiger in Renfrew on Raglan Street. The space measured 17 ft. 9 inches and my truck is 19 ft. There was no way I could have fitted my truck in this ‘handicap’ parking space. I had also measured a regular parking space, which
measured 22 ft. at the corner of Raglan Street and Prince Street in Renfrew. I live in Arnprior and have also measured ‘handicap’ spaces and the one beside town hall (Arnprior) is too small for my truck, and also I measured a regular space on John Street beside John’s Variety Store and it measured 18 ft. 10 inches. I feel that people could be getting ticketed unfairly due to the size of their vehicles, as all parking spaces are not the same size. Also someone trying for their licence could fail if the parking spaces is too small for their vehicle. I would still like my $20 returned to me.

To the Editor: I wanted to take the opportunity to extend a heartfelt thank you to the people of Arnprior for their support of The Unity Run and Community Living in Renfrew County South. Something magical happened on Sunday, Oct. 26. From the start to the finish, along the streets and throughout the awards ceremony afterwards, there was a wonderfully positive atmosphere that accompanied this year’s event. This was a direct result of the powerful energy of the runners, walkers and volunteers along the route. There are too many people to name individually, but to all the volunteers who cheered and directed the runners at street corners, handed out finisher’s medals, held back traffic at the intersections, distributed kits in the hall and looked after registration, a huge thank you. To all our sponsors, both new and those who have been with us for the past five years, especially to Neil Slater at Home Hardware and Glenn Arthur at the department of Parks and Recreation, a huge thank you. The Unity Run would not be possible without the support of all of you. A special thank you goes to the Chroni-

Thanks for all the wonderful support, Arnprior To the Editor: An open letter to the Community of Arnprior. I cannot thank you enough for the support you gave me last season. I could not have been more proud to represent such an amazing town when I was standing in the start gate in Sochi, Russia. I couldn’t get over the amount of positive and encouraging things everyone did for me. Whether it was letters or emails wishing me luck, coming out and seeing me during ‘John Leslie Day’ at the Prior, buying me a shot when I came back at the John St. Pub, and the numerous donations made to help my dream become a reality. I was lucky enough to receive so much support that if I were to start naming names I would have a very long list, I am grateful for everything done for me and appreciated any form of support given to me. Thank you everyone. At the Paralympic games I was very proud to place seventh in the world and first out of the Canadians. This past season I also had my most successful season not only training and strength wise but plac-

I would not have been able to do this without the financial support I received this season. In May I moved back to Arnprior and worked weekends at Home
Hardware. During the week I would be training out of Ottawa. My colitis decided to flare this summer, so that kept me bed-ridden for a few weeks but seems to be starting to calm down. In July I was in Whistler for two weeks for a strength and snowboard camp (there is still snow on the glacier during the summer to snowboard on). This was the first August I was able to afford to take part in a snowboard camp at Mt. Hood, Oregon, U.S.A. It was amazing to have mid-winter conditions to train on. Got the race boards out and started to train gate lines. It felt so nice to be back on my board and training hard. I am very excited for the season ahead. I am currently living in Ottawa near Algonquin College. I am finishing up my business diploma that I put on hold at Algonquin. I am also training full time at the gym for the season ahead. I will be attending the four snowboard camps I have out west leading
up to the 2015 season. I will be finished school in December and will be moving to Whistler after Christmas. The game plan is to be out West for the next four years in preparation for the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea. I plan on being at the top of my performance as an all-round athlete and bring home some hardware for Canada. Last season was a very progressive season for me and I hope to continue to excel off that energy. I will have the chance to qualify for Xgames in Aspen Colorado along with compete at World Championships in La Molina Spain this year along with a regular full packed World Cup Circuit. So excited! I hope to continue to have your support over the next few seasons. I will continue to train and compete at the top of my game, to approach challenges with an open mind, and remember where I come from. Thank you again for all the support and go Canada go.

Beavers are busy preparing for winter
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way Once a tree is felled, its branches are cut off and dragged to the water where less energy is expended pulling them to the cache. Repetitive trips are taken along paths that lead from the water into the forest. Because the limbs Beavers bring to the pond are dragged, the highly visible paths are called “drag trails.” Beavers usually work through the night, but on overcast days in November, they will also work into, and sometimes right through the day. A colony containing up to
MICHAEL RUNTZ
The massive pile of branches in front of the lodge is the beavers’ food pile, which sustains them all winter long. eight or nine Beavers needs to store sufficient supplies to last the entire winter. In earlier days, it was thought that by analysing the branches on top of food piles one would learn what foods were important to Beavers. It was also believed that by looking at the trees felled near a pond, similar information would be attained. Both of those techniques disclosed a common element: Speckled Alders. Alders along the shore were cut down, and their branches regularly
adorned food piles. The evidence was indisputable; Beavers ate alders.But then nutritional studies were done, and it seemed that Beavers gained little nourishment from alders. So why was so much effort put into cutting and storing largely inedible items? Alders, which grow plentifully along northern shores, have small trunks that are easily cut while the Beaver remains near the safety of water. Thus, alders make ideal building materials, and beaver dams and lodges often contain
Beavers bring branches back to their ponds along the same route creating an obvious ‘drag trail’. large quantities of them. But surely the presence of alders in food piles is sufficient evidence that Beaver’s prefer them in their diet? Actually, it is not. When food piles are examined, the surface portion often contains inedible items such as cedar and fir branches. And previously enjoyed (barkless) branches also adorn them. The most edible items are
actually hidden deeper under the surface of the pile where they will not become locked in ice. That is where poplar and willow branches reside; these will be extracted from the pile all through the winter. Just as you cannot a book, you cannot judge a Beaver’s food pile by its cover!

Lifestyle - With the arrival of killing frosts, animals have gone into high gear preparing for the tough conditions soon to follow. Those who are feeding birds have observed their sunflower seed supply rapidly dwindle as Blue Jays repeatedly fill their crops only to fly off and cache their loads. Gray Squirrels are also busy, frantically seeking the last of the acorns to stash in the ground. And Beavers are busily harvesting trees as they build their winter stores. Unlike jays and squirrels, Beavers don’t store their winter supplies in hundreds of locations. Instead, they place their food in one central spot in the water, creating a large pile close to their lodge. Known as the food pile, the cache sustains the Beavers through the winter. To create a food pile, Beavers make continuous treks into the forest to fell trees. While a number of species including Willows and White Birch are exploited, poplars are preferred targets.

Bear killed on highway An OPP warning this week to watch for wildlife on the road came too late for this motorist who hit and killed a bear on Highway 17 between Renfrew and Arnprior on Tuesday (Nov. 4). On the same morning a deer/car collision was reported on White Lake Road and another bear was killed just east of Arnprior on Highway 417 a couple of weeks ago. For the OPP warning and advice, see Page 48.

Whitewater incumbent mayor, reeve lose INJURY LAW Continued from Page 7
North Algona Wilberforce Veteran incumbent Harold Weckworth lost the four-candidate race for mayor in North Algona Wilberforce. He was a distant second to victorious Deborah Farr, 945 to 655, leaving Coun. Kevin Clarke at 299 and Coun. John Kuehl 169. A new slate of four councillors emerges from 10 candidates after these top-five results: 1. Doug Schultz 1,182; 2. James Brose 1,091 3. Melvin Berndt 767; 4. Dave Plumb 736; 5. Coun. Ruth Schoenfeldt 667. Whitewater Region The incumbent mayor and reeve both lost in Whitewater Region Township.
Mayor Jim Labow was third in the four-man race for mayor, with 785 votes to the 927 for former councillor Joe Trimm and 964 for triumphant Hal Johnson, the township’s former roads superintendent. Reeve Don Rathwell also went down to defeat, as Terry Millar won handily, 2,355 to 791, to represent the township on county council. There are also three new councillors, in Charlene Jackson (1,864), Chris Olmstead (1,713) and Dave MacKay (1,446).

Leaf, yard waste pick-up Nov. 12 News – With most of the leaves already off the trees, the Town of Arnprior will hold its annual leaf and yard waste pick-up next Wednesday, Nov. 12. The town holds yard waste collection days each spring and fall. However, leaf and yard waste may be disposed of for free year-round at the Arnprior landfill, during regular hours of operation. As well, residents are encouraged to compost
their yard waste themselves. Items accepted at the curbside on collection day include plants, flowers, weeds, leaves, grass clippings and trimmed branches less than 1.5 inches in diameter. The leaf and yard waste must be packaged in biodegradable paper bags and placed at the curbside by 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 12. Items not accepted at curbside include pumpkins, brush, shrubs, hedges, trees, branches larger than 1.5 inches in diameter, stumps, logs and timber. Those items can be disposed of at the Arnprior landfill, but tipping fees apply.
THANK YOU – FROM SCOTT BRUM COUNCILLOR ELECT FOR MCNAB/BRAESIDE TOWNSHIP I would like to thank and acknowledge all those who supported me throughout my election campaign for the position of Councillor of McNab/Braeside Township. Much has been said with respect to the successful coalition campaign that was orchestrated by the Mcnab / Braeside Residents for Reading and Recreation group. The group has in fact highlighted reading and recreation as being a very important issue for the community, enough to have four of their five candidate choices elected to this Council. As those of you who know me can attest to, recreation has been a fundamental component of the volunteer work I have done over the past several years, and I am confident that my particular skills in this area will be of good use. We must not, however, lose sight of the other important issues being faced by McNab/Braeside and its residents, such as the quarry expansion. I very much look forward to becoming acquainted with my fellow members of Council, and am equally eager to develop a positive and productive working relationship with each of them to form a Council which will be representative of all its residents, and focus on striving always to make McNab/Braeside a pre-eminent place to work, live and play.

November is...
National Diabetes Awareness Month 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

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.

Renfrew Warden’s Tagline Contest was declared. After all the votes were tallied, the winner was: “Experience Our History, Share Our Future!” The winning tagline was submitted by Terry Wilson, a resident of Laurentian Valley. He was represented by his wife Connie at the award presentation. “We had a great response from the residents of Renfrew County, and the number of excellent submissions we received proves that we have a huge amount of talent in our community,” said Warden Peter Emon. “This was a fantastic way for all residents of Renfrew County to really engage and be part of the future branding of their county.” County CAO added that “we are very pleased with the level of community input that we received from this initiative. The new tagline will appear on the County of Renfrew’s website, and other promotional material.” The intent of the three-month long contest was to replace the former tagline of ‘Petty as a Picture’ with a new and fresh tagline that speaks to the essence of Renfrew County. The previous tagline was adopted more than 15 years ago, and was developed out of a photo contest the County held for their website at the time. In exchange for his submission, yesterday’s contest winner was publically acknowledged for their creative tagline, and received a prize package valued at $500 from the County of Renfrew made up of gift cards and certificates from Renfrew County attractions and businesses. Secondary prizes were also awarded to the four runner-ups. The other four finalists were: • Discover the Beauty around you - Renfrew County! • Renfrew County - Where every season holds an adventure! • Naturally More, Simply Amazing. • The County of Renfrew - Beauty. Adventure. Home.

News - The McNab-Braeside Fire Department recently welcomed a new recruit to the successful junior firefighter program. Mackenzie Brum, 15, is the first female to join the program, which has been running for almost three years. Junior firefighters attend meetings, training sessions, special events and work on fire prevention initiatives. The only thing they don’t do, explained Fire Chief Dave Hartwick, is attend the emergency calls. Brum is thrilled to be joining the team. “I’ve always watched firefighters and been amazed at how they just go and help people,” she said. Friends of Mackenzie are already junior firefighters, so she had an idea of what she was getting into. It’s been a very positive experience for her so far. “It’s a lot more hands on and a lot more fun than I thought,” she said. Mayor Mary Campbell said the township is proud of its junior firefighter program.

Dunn’s scoring exploits lead Packers over Senators 2-1 for the Packers at the end of the first period. For the second straight game, the second period was all Arnprior. Dunn scored a hat trick with Chad Brennan and Boden Zvonarich scoring the other two goals. Osgoode changed goaltenders for the third and came out charging. Arnprior’s goaltender Mike Cheslock was peppered from every angle and made stop after stop. Dunn scored his fifth goal for Arnprior at the 6:47 mark of the third. Osgoode didn’t let the score deflate them. Mezaros scored at the 9:06 mark assisted by Zach Pelletier and Lewis MacKenzie. Ryan McCormick

Sports – The Arnprior Juvenile Packers continued their winning streak with a decisive 9-2 win over the Osgoode Rideau Senators last week. Playing to a capacity crowd at the Nick Smith Centre, the Packers started the scoring at the 14-minute mark of the first period when Jake Dunn tallied. Dunn went on to score four more goals with two of them shorthanded. A humble Dunn said it was his line mates that made the success possible. Alex Mezaros started Osgoode’s scoring with a power-play goal at the 9:29 mark of the first period. Arnprior’s Chad Brennan responded with a goal with 8:21 left, making it

Packers end four-game losing skid Sports – The Junior B Arnprior Packers had a treat in store for their fans on Halloween night, edging the Shawville Pontiacs 5-4 in Quebec. However, they were up to their old tricks Sunday, playing well but falling 4-3 to a Metro Division foe, Clarence Creek. The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League club ended a four-game losing streak Oct. 31 with the win over Valley Division’s third-place Pontiacs. John McLean was the hero for the Packers, scoring the team’s last two goals to clinch the victory. After falling behind early, Arnprior scored two goals in just over three minutes late in the first period to take a 2-1 lead. Chris Deschamps and Chris Marchand tallied for the Packers. After Shawville had tied it up 2-2 early in the second, Kurtis Keohane, on setups from Robert Darnowski and McLean, put the Packers back on top. However, the lead lasted only 29 seconds, as Liam Poirier scored his second goal for the Pontiacs. Then McLean, the team’s captain, went to work. He scored at 15:38 to restore Arnprior’s lead. He scored again at 13:14 of the third to give Arnprior its first two-goal lead of the game. Darnowski set up both goals and had four helpers on the night. A power-play goal by Shawville with less than two minutes left made it interesting, but Arnprior held on for the win. Penalties almost did the Packers in, as they were whistled for 12 infractions to the Pontiacs’ six. Arnprior’s Corey Chaplin and Shawville’s Craig Kelly both got tossed for a second-period fight. Dominic Plaschy was solid in the Arnprior net as the Packers were outshot 39-32. Sunday in Clarence Creek, despite being

down by two, the Packers pressed to the end, scoring a goal with the extra attacker. However, McLean’s marker came with only eight seconds left, leaving no time for the equalizer. Clarence Creek built up 3-1 and 4-2 leads before hanging on for the win. Liam Killeen scored Arnprior’s first goal from Marchand and Keohane. Jack Rouleau cut Clarence Creek’s lead to 3-2 in the second when he scored from James Prebble and Isaac Perreault. Marchand and Brayden Harvey set up McLean’s late goal. Mateo Scapillati made 30 of 34 stops in the Arnprior net. WOLVES TO VISIT
The loss dropped Arnprior’s record to 4-9 for the season, three points behind fourth-place Almonte Thunder in the Valley Division. Almonte (5-7-1) lost 3-0 to the Ottawa Canadians Saturday.

ADHS football teams face tough task in finals against Almonte
Jake Davies/submitted
Senior Redman Liam Cameron reaches for the ball during Friday afternoon’s county championships versus Renfrew.
Sports – The Arnprior District High School senior and junior boys football teams are the class of Renfrew County. However, they will have to overcome undefeated Almonte High School squads if they are to advance further along the provincial playoff trail. It will be a tall order. While ADHS hasn’t played Almonte in senior boys action this year, the junior boys’ only loss was a lopsided one, 62-15 to powerhouse Almonte in Arnprior Oct. 17. The senior boys won the Renfrew County championship last Friday with a tight 6-0 home win over arch-rival RCI. RCI defeated Fellowes 17-7 in Pembroke three days earlier to earn the right to play ADHS, which topped the league in the regular season with a 5-1 record. The Redmen will travel to Almonte (5-0) this Friday, Nov. 7 for the Lanark-Renfrew championship game. The second-, third- and fourth-place teams from each league will also play games that day. The Renfrew County squads will host the second- and fourth-place games, while the Lanark teams play at home for the other two. The winner of the title game will move on to challenge the Kingston-Brockville area champion Nov. 14 for the right to play in the National Capital Bowl Nov. 22.
Meanwhile, in junior football play, ADHS Redmen thumped Smiths Falls Red Hawks 40-14 to wrap up their season in second place in the Renfrew-Lanark league. Arnprior (6-1) was to host St. John’s (52) of Perth in one-semi-final Tuesday (after
press deadline), while Almonte (7-0) entertained Smiths Falls (4-3) in the other. The two winners of those games will move on to the title game this Friday, Nov. 7 on the home field of the highest ranking squad.

Sports – It was another dominating performance by the Arnprior District High School girls rugby team. The ADHS squad easily retained its Upper Ottawa Valley High School rugby title by steamrolling Bishop Smith 62-0 Oct. 28 at the Dochart field in McNab-Braeside. “The key to the victory was the composure and control we brought to the game,” said coach Glenn Wallace. “The forward pack had a dominant game,” he added. “It really set the table for us.” Once the forwards set the tone with their aggressive play, “we were able to generate a great deal of attack from both forwards and backs,” Wallace added. While the players were physical, it was a “controlled aggression,” he said. “They were calm and collected … they didn’t lose their focus.” That composure and maturity should stand the team in good stead next spring as it seeks an Eastern

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. 105 Elgin St. West, Arnprior, ON K7S 0A8 tel fax tweet email

Christmas in November this Saturday in Renfrew
1901 quilt part of special display
Lifestyle – Fresh off a successful show in Arnprior, Healing in the Valley is hosting a Christmas in November Show this Saturday, Nov. 8 in Renfrew with close to 40 vendors. The annual event is being held at the Renfrew Recreation Centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is free admission, but organizers will once again collect non-perishable items and conduct a silent auction with all proceeds being donated to the Renfrew and Area Food Bank. The Arnprior Show on Sept. 14 raised more than $270 for the Arnprior Food Bank and collected about 2.5 boxes of non-perishable foods.
Volunteer Catherine Rodger stands by one of the interesting quilts on display at the current Arnprior Quilt Guild display that runs until midNovember at the Arnprior and District Museum daily except for Mondays. The pattern of this 1901 quilt is called Hope Chest. The quilt, on loan from Dianne Watchorn, was quilted by her great-grandmother Ida May Elder Prophet for her hope chest when she was 16 years old.

Mother puts decorative touch on salt pork barrel Lifestyle - Mother never quite got used to having the salt pork barrel in the kitchen. Once again she lamented that on her very first visit to the farm in Northcote, when she came face to face with both the sauerkraut and salt pork barrels smack in the middle of the kitchen, she was ready to race right back to New York City. She said she was greatly relieved when Father assured her the sauerkraut barrel would be moved to the summer kitchen as soon as the brine had settled, where it would freeze solid. But that still left the little salt-pork barrel. Father said it needed the warmth of the kitchen, and besides, it had sat in the very same spot for three generations, and furthermore, there was no other place to put it! And so every day, once Fall had settled in, there sat the lidless barrel, with nothing but a big dinner plate covering the opening, and ever so much smaller than the one that held the sauerkraut. But as far as Mother was concerned, a real eyesore. And that’s when Mother got the idea that she would make a skirt for the barrel ... she had

enough Dan River material left over from two blouses she had made for Audrey and me, and it would do nicely to cover the unsightly salt pork barrel. So one morning, after we had heard the old foot pedal churning away on the Singer Sewing machine long after we had gone to bed, we came down to find the little barrel covered from top to bottom with a mauve and yellow flowered skirt. Since there was no lid on the barrel (the plate had been removed), Mother had simply made the skirt with a round inset at the top, and both Audrey and I thought the whole idea added a lovely

touch to the kitchen. “Nonsense” we could hear Father mutter in his saucer of green tea when he came in from his morning chores in the barn, scanning a look in the corner of the kitchen near the ice box. Mother paid him no heed. She had even moved one of the straight backed kitchen chairs, the only one with arms on it, and the one Father favoured to sit on at the dinner table, beside the little barrel, and commented that it now looked like a little end table. She reminded us not to set anything on top, though, as the small circle of material covering the top wouldn’t hold. So there it sat, adding a bit of colour to that corner of the kitchen. Father added ‘nuisance’ to his complaints about the Dan River skirt, because now he had to take it off to fork out a slab of salt-pork. Often, he just let it lie in a heap on the floor by the little barrel, which annoyed Mother almost as much as when Father slurped his tea out of his saucer. Aunt Bertha on the next farm thought the skirt was a lovely idea and said she was going to do the same thing to their little pork barrel. Everyone thought it was fine except Father. Our minister never seemed to have a reason to pay a visit. But his call always seemed to be at mealtime, which Mother said assured him of at least one good meal that day. And so that Saturday, just before noon dinner, in walked the minister, bible in hand, and even though it was a cold Fall day, with snow flurries

dusting through the air, the sweat was pouring off his round, fat face. Mother took his coat, and told him to ‘please be seated, Reverend’. He headed for the armed chair, plopped down like a sack of grain, wiped his face with the sleeve of his black shirt, and placed his bible on top of the pork barrel. It was a big bible, well worn...the one he carried up to the pulpit every Sunday. Well, it sunk into the pork barrel, like a stone in a wash tub, taking most off the skirt with it. He looked at it for what seemed like a full minute, and then reached down into the barrel and pulled it out. It was covered with salt water, and brine crystals had already settled on the cover of the bible. Mother rushed over, grabbed the bible and was wiping it up and down on her apron as she headed for the dish pan and a dry tea towel. The minister decided he’d be on his way ... he’d be back on another day, he said, never taking his eyes off the pork barrel, now with most of the skirt inside it. It looked like the bible was finished. But that Sunday, there he was, walking up the aisle to the front of the church with the four members of the choir, and the battered bible clutched in his hand. He always nodded to those in the pews, but he didn’t give us as much as glance. Emerson swore he could smell salt pork off the minister as he passed us at our usual place in the very front row.

Community - Renowned Canadian fiddler Scott Woods and his band will be pulling into Arnprior at month’s end to present a brand new live show celebrating Christmas tradition.

New Lutheran minister focuses on community outreach Sherry Haaima
sherry.haaima@metroland.com
Community – New St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church pastor Norine Gullons has settled in and is ready to reach out to the community. Gullons arrived in July and has spent the last few months immersing herself into her new role. It’s a homecoming of sorts for Gullons, whose grandfather, Pastor John Reble, a retired Lutheran Bishop, served as interim pastor for a period of time in the 1950s. Gullons has been active in the Lutheran church for many years and her knowledge and connections will be of benefit to the local congregation, say church officials. She comes to Arnprior from near Morrisburg, Ont., where she led a two-point charge, which involves looking after one rural and one urban church. On one of the first Sundays she organized a barbecue and invited not only parisioners but neighbours of
the church, as well. She has received a warm welcome. “The people have been very friendly and open,” said Gullons. “This community has very talented but very humble people.” She is especially interested in work beyond the church walls. “I’m eager to be working outside of the church building doing outreach. The community is great,” she said. “Pastoral care is absolutely thrilling for me,” said Gullons. “Any chance I get to get out in the community. She has enjoyed monthly visits to the Arnprior Villa and Grove Nursing Home. A recent initiative focused on helping the Arnprior and District Food Bank and next year efforts will get underway in support of Canadian Lutheran World Relief. Church council and the congregation are very pleased to welcome Gullons, said chair Randy Zimmerling.
Declining attendance and other factors over the years had led to a part-time ministry at the church, he explained. A church council strategy session formulated the idea to sell the parsonage and work towards getting a full-time pastor in place. “We know we’ve got an outstanding leader,” he said. “The good fit with us is Norine is very community-minded.” Gullons and the church are placing a specific emphasis to reach out to young families in the area, said Zimmerling. “We want to make them feel welcome,” he said. “Part of every Sunday service is a song and message for children.” St. John’s is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. The church has always been located on the current site. Gullons took over the reins from interim pastor Stan Johnston, who was at the church for about a year and a half.

Horton Township opens its section of the CN Trail Peter Clark
peter.clark@metroland.com
Community - It was a big day for Horton and people in the general area as the CN Trail through the township was officially opened. The trail links Arnprior and Renfrew through McNabBraeside and Horton, and is slowly being brought up to standard by the participating municipalities. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the entrance to Horton’s west end of the CN Trail on Lime Kiln Road. In August, the township undertook a project to upgrade the 6.25 kilometres of trail within its municipal boundaries from the Renfrew to McNab-Braeside. Horton originally bought the abandoned Canadian National Railway line in 1999. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski performed the ribbon cut with
Peter Clark/Metroland
Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski, centre, and Horton Township Mayor Don Eady cut the ribbon on Lime Kiln Road Oct. 10 to officially declare the CN Trail in the township open. Sponsors, volunteers, bikers and runners join in on the ceremony. Horton Mayor Don Eady. Others in attendance included Horton’s chair of recreation Bob Kingsbury, public works manager Janet Collins, recreation program manager Kathleen Rogers, Brian Brohart of the Renfrew County and District Public Health Unit, and McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell. A number of bikers, joggers and walkers who use the
trail regularly also took part in the opening. Eady said active transportation within the Horton and Renfrew area, and the County of Renfrew, is becoming more and more important every day. “You see people out here jogging and staying healthy. This is a great economic development driver,” Eady said. “Active transportation is
one of the most up front and central things when applying for new government grants,” he added. “This is an unbelievable turn of events for the Township of Horton and might be one of the biggest things that we ever got accomplished in the sense that it’s permanent, it’s a 12-month-of-the-year trail, (and) people can use it. “You can come out here
every day and you’ll see all kinds of people using this. It’s the biggest response in my four years as mayor that I’ve seen in anything in the Township of Horton as far as people really, really wanting to use it. So it’s a great thing, a great thing for everybody.” Over time, there will be further development to the trail, such as parking lots and gazebos, Eady said. Last winter, the Whitewater Sno-Goers Snowmobile Club got a grant of more than $9,000 for brushing and fixing up of the trail. Others contributing include George Jackson Toyota, Smiths Construction Miller Group, and Brian Dedo and grandson Cody Lalonde. Also saluted were Andy Kenopic’s brushing volunteers and the Horton public works department. With grants and donations, about $35,000 has been raised, allowing the project to
be completed with minimal financial impact on the township. “This is a great enhancement to the recreation opportunities here in Horton Township and it will be enjoyed by many, many people over the years,” Yakabuski said. “If you are going to have something here in Renfrew County, the last time I checked, we still had four seasons, and we’re going to have four seasons for a long time to come, so you’ve got to have those opportunities that everyone can take advantage of,” he said. “It’ll bring more people into the township as well.” The Whitewater Sno-Goers have received a grant for $16,397 under the National Recreation Trails Program, of which they are giving a portion to the Horton Trail for the installing of seven gates to provide access for different uses along the trail.

Editor’s note: Enis Poirier of Braeside submitted this timely story of her uncle, veteran Lawrence Perry, just in time for Remembrance Day. Community - This is a story about the life of my uncle Lawrence Vincent Perry (Pare). He was born on Feb. 14, 1909 Vinton, Quebec to Joseph Pare and Elizabeth Stewart of Davidson, Quebec. He was the oldest child of seven: two boys - Lawrence and Willie, and five girls - Mildred, Merle, Harriet (Hattie), Gladys and Beatrice. As a young man he worked on his uncle’s farm on Calumet Island, Quebec. This was during the Depression years and his only pay was room and board and money to buy cigarettes. Later on he went to the lumber camp, driving a team of horses with loads of logs. The men would take the cut trees down to the frozen Coulonge River and unload them onto the ice. When the ice broke out, the logs moved down the river to the sawmills at Braeside, Ontario. In 1940 he went to Timmins, Ontario and lived with his sister Harriet and brother-inlaw Tommy Smith. While living in Timmins, he joined the Forestry Corp of the Canadian Army on March 6, 1941 and trained at Val Dor, Quebec. He was stationed in Scotland and worked in reforestation for 28 months. (There is a picture of Harriet standing at the Spean Bridge in Scotland on Aug. 13, 1990,
D A E R P S E TH
D R WO
where the names of Canadian men who planted all the trees are listed.) When that job was finished, he returned to his parents’ home in Davidson, Quebec in October of 1943. It was still during the Depression, and work was very scarce. About this time he decided to re-enlist with the engineers in January 1944 and was sent to Petawawa, Ontario for training. Overseas he spent a month in England. He joined the Algonquin Regiment of the 1st Canadian Army. He was killed in Germany while serving his country in 1945. The telegram was delivered to his parents home in Davidson on April 20, his mother’s 55th birthday. The party was over, the candles had all been blown out. Around 6:30 p.m., a young messenger boy rode up from Fort Coulonge on his bicycle to deliver in his Mother’s words “the present that I will always remember on every birthday for the rest of my life.” She lived to have 32 more birthdays. “We deeply regret to inform you that your son, Lawrence Vincent Perrym was killed in action.” His mother received $1,000 upon his death, but would never spend that money. She wanted her son back! For many years after, a family in Holland looked after his grave and kept in contact with his youngest sister, Beatrice Valliere. They later moved to Canada and I think they lost touch with each other.

Another picture was taken in front of the Book of Memories in the Parliament Buildings, Ottawa showing three of his sisters, Gladys Belanger, Merle Allan and Beatrice Vallieres. Only two of that family survive, my aunt Merle who will be 99 on Dec. 13 and my mother, Harriet, who is 97. They both have excellent minds and remember their brother with love and affection. My cousin has our uncle’s medals in a shadowbox, along with a picture of him and the write-up from the newspaper about his death. P.S. Laurent Pare, a cousin of Lawrence’s, was also killed and is buried in Holten Cemetery in Holland. That cemetery is subject of a campaign to ensure all veterans buried there have a voice.

Arnprior Legion
Community – Whew … that’s a sigh! Lots of that going on at the Arnprior Legion Branch these days. Where did October go? The Army Cadet Corps in conjunction with their sponsor the Legion have started a project in honour of the veterans and to coincide with Remembrance Day. Each year they dedicate a project to this end. For several years the cadets carried out an allnight patrol. This year they have dedicated, their time to remember the fallen and those who still serve by preparing the cenotaph, placing 300-plus memorial candles before the Remembrance Day service. They are more than pleased with the support from everyone in town, Ottawa and the surrounding area. It has far outdone their greatest expectations. They will carry the glowing candles to the cenotaph the evening of Monday, Nov. 10. If you purchased a candle or sponsored one, please join the cadets as they deliver and place them on the cenotaph. TEST DRIVE FUNDRAISER
The Branch has had some heavy duty repairs as usual, but it’s been very fortunate with the help received. The ‘4UR Community’ Ford project was very successful in spite of the chal-
lenge the weather offered. Many thanks go out to all who were involved. It was a good day. Bingos, jam nights, hamburger Fridays, Saturday afternoon entertainment all “on tap” as usual. All these events are getting bigger and better every week. If you haven’t attended, come out and have a visit. POPPY CAMPAIGN
Just a little reminder, regarding the importance of Remembrance. Legion members and Cadets have been out with Poppies since Nov. 1 and they appreciate your support. All donations are used by the Legion to support veterans. The Poppy chairman is always looking for help with the Poppy campaign. If you’re interested, leave your information at the bar. You’ll be sure to get a call. The Remembrance Day parade will prepare to leave the Legion Tuesday, Nov. 11 about 10 a.m., marching north on Daniel Street West on Elgin Street North and on John Street, arriving at the cenotaph by 10:55 a.m. There will be a bus leaving and returning to the Legion for those veterans unable to march in the parade. There will be a reception at the Legion after the parade. Well this gets us to the Nov. 11. Another reminder: 2015 memberships are on sale. Be sure to get yours renewed and bring along a new member or two.

IMPAIRED CHARGE
On Saturday, Nov. 1 at 10 p.m. OPP officers stopped a motorist on Highway 17 for a traffic offence. The male driver had been drinking and failed a roadside alcohol screening test. Following breath tests at the Arnprior detachment, a 25-year-old Whitewater Region man was charged with driving over 80 mgs. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on Dec. 10.
Fraudsters at work in Upper Ottawa Valley don’t know the person you are conversing with over the internet it is probably not a good idea to send them money.” Other fraud investigations conducted by the local OPP recently involved fraudulent use of a credit card, someone attempting to obtain personal information to secure credit, someone being requested to

Many businesses and volunteer organizations require people to obtain criminal record checks or vulnerable sector checks prior to working/volunteering with them. The OPP obtains this information from the RCMP who are the holders of Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC). Staff are available to complete paperwork and process requests during regular business hours at the Arnprior OPP office from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, go to www.opp.ca and click on the “How Do I?” tab. LIQUOR LICENCE ACT CHARGES
On Friday, Oct. 24 at 11:30 p.m. OPP Constables Walid Kandar and Helen Paterson were patrolling when they stopped to check a vehicle that had pulled over on the shoulder of Highway 417 at Arnprior. Two occupants of the vehicle were standing outside the vehicle. Officers discovered two open cans of beer and several more empty and some unopened inside the vehicle. A 23-year-old man from Killaloe Haggerty Richards, and a 23-year-old man from Whitewater Region were each given a ticket for consuming alcohol in other than a licenced establishment, residence or private place. The driver, a 24-year-old Bonnechere Valley man, was charged with having care or control of a motor vehicle with open alcohol, and failing to surrender his driver’s licence.

Pet rehab, fitness centre brings rejuvenation steve.newman@metroland.com
Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Eddie Cunningham is a happy six-year-old daschund, but that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case last spring. Intervertebral disc disease surgery left him paralyzed in his hind legs. Then surgery in late March repaired a ruptured disc, but he was weak and unable to walk without support of a sling. The operation happened in Ottawa where Eddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owners Ashley Cunningham and partner Christian Ste-Marie live. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Eddie first came home he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything,â&#x20AC;? recalls Cunningham. But Cunningham, who works in Renfrew, turned to nearby Pinnacle Animal Hospital where she normally takes
her dog. When they first attended the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new rehab and fitness centre, Ashley returned home with a list of to-dos â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like passive stretching exercises and hind-leg pushups (moving from a sitting to standing position). This was all part of a rehabilitation program designed by veterinarian Dr. Sarah Seguin and veterinarian technician Sarah Wilson. Both became certified canine rehabilitation practitioners after taking a course at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville last year. The rehab and fitness centre then opened in early 2014 with an investment of about $100,000, including $40,000 for an underwater treadmill and $30,000 for a laser therapy machine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an opportunity to

expand our services,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Seguin. The rehab centre is now a home away from home for dogs whose debilitating physical performance is due to such factors as age, illness, weight gain, injury or surgery. Typically, a rehab program would be once or twice a week for about eight weeks, but that varies according to the type or amount of rehab required. Six months after surgery, Eddie can walk two kilometres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much back to being himself,â&#x20AC;? says Cunningham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can pretty much do everything except stairs and jumping up on furniture, which has some benefits.â&#x20AC;?

Message from Queen’s Park
Legend of St. Andrew’s Day prompts local medieval feast
November 2014
Monthly Column by
Rose MacLaren
John
Celtic Heritage Society
YAKABUSKI MPP
www.johnyakabuski.com Let’s start with the good news. You will recall in my last column, I indicated my complete dissatisfaction with the Environmental Commissioner’s Report calling for an end to logging in Algonquin Park. I must thank all of the people from municipal government as well as individuals who contacted me, encouraging me to fight this proposal. Upon the publishing of Commissioner Gord Miller’s Report, I immediately wrote Natural Resources and Forestry Minister, Bill Mauro, calling on him to make it clear that he would not implement the recommendations. When the Parliament reconvened, I had the opportunity to speak to him and further to that, questioned him in the Legislature. I was most pleased with the Minister’s response. While it is typical of Ministers to couch their language, not being offensive to the authors of a report, Mauro was clear in that he stated “We have no intention of ending logging in Algonquin Park.” It appears the battle has been won but I assure you the war is not over. The enemies of our way of life will not take this lying down. They will continue to press the government on this issue. Those of us who are committed to protecting our way of life must be ever vigilant. Now the bad news. Who can forget the 1.1 billion dollar gas plant scandal. The liberal government would certainly like you to. I questioned the government twice in the past two weeks, asking to allow two more witnesses to come before the Standing Committee on Justice Policy, namely Laura Miller and Peter Faist. Laura Miller was Dalton McGuinty’s Deputy Chief of Staff and Peter Faist was her boyfriend, who did not work for the government yet somehow was able to gain access to the Premier’s office and it’s computer system, resulting in the deletion of an unknown number of documents and records. This was determined by the O.P.P. during their initial criminal investigation. It would only make sense that we be allowed to hear what they have to say. Unfortunately, the Liberals have used their majority power to essentially shut down the committee, directing it to write it’s report. The report will be nothing but a sham given that it will be minus the testimony of these two key witnesses. We have heard from 90 witnesses at the committee, why would the government shut it down when our only request is that we want to hear from two more. Could it be they’re afraid of what Miller and Faist might have to say? By the way, Miller and Faist had agreed to testify before the June election was called. It should be pointed out that the O.P.P. can investigate and lay charges but under our system cannot compel anyone to make a statement. With this decision by the liberal government, we may never know all the fact in this scandal BUT we will be paying for it. While all Remembrance Days are special, 2014 has even greater significance. This year we recognized two special anniversaries - the 100th Anniversary of the beginning of the First World War and the 70th Anniversary of D’Day. The war to end all wars has proven to be wishful thinking as the world continues to be a place of ongoing conflict. D’Day marked the turning point in the war against fascism. I, like many of you, will be participating in Remembrance Day Services throughout the riding. During that time my thoughts always hearken back to my Dad and what it must of been like for him and his comrades in the theatre of war. Each year, I see fewer and fewer Veterans of World War II and Korea. Please take the time to thank a Veteran for the freedoms that we enjoy. Also, remember our recent fallen, Corporal Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent. LEST WE FORGET. 1106.R0012985614

One Bad Son plays Arnprior The Vancouver rock group One Band Son packed the John Street Pub in downtown Arnprior when they played a show Oct. 12. The up-andcoming group are making waves with their newest album ‘Black Buffalo’ and the single ‘Satellite Hotel’. Their energetic show gained them many new fans in the Valley.
Community – Legends surrounding the Scottish patron saint, St. Andrew, are many and varied. To celebrate his life, the McNab and District Celtic Heritage Society will host their second annual Medieval Feast at the Arnprior Legion on St. Andrew’s Day, Nov. 30. Being St. Peter’s brother made St. Andrew a much sought-after patron for many countries such as Greece, Russia and, surprisingly, Barbados, just to mention a few. Just which legend put him as the top runner for Scotland’s patron we aren’t really sure. But patron he is, and very much revered to the point that the present Scottish flag is the St. Andrew’s cross on a blue background. Why was this chosen you ask? Well it goes way back to 832AD when Oengus II led his army of Picts and Scots into battle against the English led by Atheistan near Athelstaneford, East Lothian. It seems that Oengus was seriously outnumbered, and under the dangerous circumstances Angus turned to prayer. In these prayers Angus vowed that if granted victory, he would appoint St. Andrew as patron saint of Scotland. On the morning of the battle, white clouds in the sky formed a perfect X (the St.Andrew’s cross). This sign was thought to be a sign of God’s intervention, which gave Oengus’s army the boost it needed to allow them to be victorious in battle. Saint Andrew was declared patron and his cross, as seen in the sky that morning, became the present day flag of Scotland, a white cross on a sky blue background. Since St. Andrew was reaffirmed as patron of Scotland along with his white cross on blue background in 1320, numerous parish churches in the Church of Scotland and congregations in other Christian churches in Scotland have been named after St Andrew. Over the years, as the Scots travelled to other areas of the world, they brought their respect and love for St. Andrew with them. As a result many countries around the world from Scotland, to Russia to Barbados, claim St. Andrew as their patron saint. This year the McNab and District Celtic Heritage Society will host their Medieval Feast at the Arnprior Legion on Sunday, Nov. 30 from 4 to 10 p.m. Doors will open at 3:30 p.m. You will enter the world of a medieval Scottish castle to dine in the medieval style with delicious crowdy and ale soup, cod tongues, braised leg of cock, roastitt meats and vegetables, game pie, tarts, and sweets. Get into the mood of the evening by dressing in medieval garb and enjoy dining with your knife and your hands while you revel in the antics of the court jester, minstrals, bards and other medieval entertainers. It will be an evening like no other. Tickets cost $30 or two for $50 and can be purchased at Jim’s Restaurant in Arnprior or Fraser’s clothing store or M&R in Renfrew, from members of the society, or by calling 613-6233614 or 613-432-6271. Proceeds will be used to organize and promote other local Celtic events and education.

CARMICHAEL, Kenneth It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Kenneth (Ken) Carmichael, in his 77th year. He passed away peacefully with his daughters by his side on Saturday, October 25, 2014 at OTMH. He will now join his beloved wife, Shirley. The family finds great comfort in knowing they are together now. Loving father of Kelly and Lori. He will be sadly missed by his grandsons, Brayden Woodley, Eli and Dylan Popp. Survived by his sister, Carrie Farnsworth and husband Jim of Coldwater, ON, and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his brothers; Alec, Neil, Ian and sisters; Jean, Edna, Edith, Anne, and Isabel. Forever remembered by his family and friends in the Ottawa Valley, friends in the Standardbred Horse Industry and the numerous friends he met throughout his life. All who met him felt the kindness, he was a warm, humble man who taught us to care about others, work hard and always take the time to help others whenever possible. Family and Friends gathered at McKersieKocher Funeral Home, 114 Main St. E., Milton 905-878-4452 on Wednesday. The funeral service was held in the funeral chapel on Thursday, October 30, 2014 at 11 a.m. Interment took place at Milton Evergreen Cemetery.

(Dec. 12, 1994 – Oct. 12, 2014) We watched you grow into a wonderful young man. We laughed at your jokes, smiled proudly at your accomplishments, and cried when you cried. We still cannot believe you are gone, still wait for you to walk through our door. We miss you more than words can say. Yet, throughout this terrible time of loss, we have been surrounded by love, friendship, compassion and caring. We have been hugged, comforted, fed, supported in every way possible by family, friends, neighbours, co-workers and professionals. The visits, cards, flowers, gifts, donations and kindness shown, meant the world to us when our world was falling apart. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Dale, Jenny, Katie and Neal Gibbons and family. “Love….bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”

To the ambulance attendants, drs and nurses at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and Ottawa Heart Institute, thank you for the wonderful care you gave Donald and support given to his family. To Andre Pilon and the staff at the Pilon Funeral Home for your guidance in such a difficult time. How do we begin to say thanks to Donald’s extended family his derby buddies. You’re a wonderful group of men. To Scott Rancourt and conveners of the Fall Brawl your beautiful tribute was beyond words and we will hold it close to our hearts always.

Caitlin Stewart-16 yearS gone from our home-november 2, 1998 Beyond my smile there lies a tear, For the daughter I lost and loved so dear. Wherever I am or whatever I do, Always dear Caitlin, I’m thinking of you, Though the tears in my eyes may glisten And my face is not always sad There is never a night or a morning That I do not think of you- the daughter I had. Only those who have lost know how I feel, It seems like my heart will never heal, But when I look at your picture You seem to smile and say Your broken heart will heal, I know, When we’re together again- someday. Forever and for always Caitie- I will love you Mom, Dad, Andy, Jason, Omi, Opa and many good friends for their wonderful hugs. XOX

Zander, Franken, Whelan among Toastmasters winners Community - Every fall local Toastmasters have the opportunity to challenge themselves as they compete against their fellow members in humorous speech and evaluation contests. The area contest was held Sept. 20 in Arnprior, where clubs from Deep River, Chalk River, Pembroke, Renfrew and Arnprior competed. Renfrew Toastmasters and Valley Vintage, for advanced toastmasters, are both based out of Renfrew. Winners included McNab-Braeside resident Tracy Franken of Renfrew Toastmasters in the humorous speech contest, as Lenore Whelan of Valley Vintage placed second and Karen Sapinski of the Pembroke club took third. In the English evaluation contest, Lynne Zander of Valley Vintage won, while Douglas resident Fran Watson (Deep River club) was second and Angela Goudie (Pembroke) took third. Zander, who lives in Arnprior, also won the French evaluation contest. The winners proceeded to the division B contest in Renfrew.

Allow me to express my appreciation to those individuals who took the time to voice their concern regarding my health and well-being in the aftermath of the events of the week of October 19th. Thank-you. Let us all pay tribute to two outstanding Canadians who served their country as members of Canada’s military, Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. They died senselessly as sure as all acts of violence are senseless. While we have learned much in the ensuing days after the attacks, and will undoubtedly learn more, Canada remains the best place to live in the world. What has been a disappointment is the response, which was almost immediate, from the radical left that now controls the official opposition in Ottawa. Their enablers in the left-wing media have been publishing every kooky conspiracy theory imaginable. Regardless of what the looney left would like you to believe, the terrorism threat is real, and it is here. The challenge is to be prudent in our approach while providing a reasonable level of protection for people who serve their country in uniform, or work in our nation’s capital, and at the same time preserving the freedom of movement in our country, which is the sign of a mature democracy. The test in our society is when every crackpot is given a soapbox, the number of impressionable young minds that are corrupted. Students for example, away from home for the first time, with no life experience to guide them, can be pushed over the edge as they live in their own little world divorced from reality, away from the balance of family and friends. When does one graduate from being an internet troll, writing nasty letters and posting hateful comments, to taking direct action for whatever crazy cause? One thing is certain, we all bear the burden of responsibility to make sure the reoccurrence of recent events become a distant memory, never to be repeated. As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you! As always, if you have any concerns of a federal nature, or just want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to contact my office. Office contact Information: Constituency Office of Cheryl Gallant, MP, 84 Isabella St., Pembroke On. K8A 5S5 or call 732-4404.

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! 1106
