News – Can’t fight city (or township) hall? Yes you can if you harness social media. A campaign to save a Burnstown coffee shop and music room quickly gathered steam online on the weekend and led to a Tuesday morning meeting between McNab-Braeside officials and the business owners (see page 3). Delays in township approvals for ongoing renovations are being blamed for the situation. “Our Burnstown Coffee Shop and music room will need to close/move in very short or-

der if we don’t get a resolution to current delays in McNabBraeside township approvals,� said an online message from owners Adam and Kim McKinty, who urged the public to get involved. “If this is of concern to you, we suggest that your opinions on the matter are needed. Share as you see fit.� In March Neat owners completed renovations that they hoped would secure a 148-person occupancy for the venue. “Approval is hung up on a post build re-designation of our mezzanine as a second floor,� said the McKintys.

Lest we forget them News – The Arnprior Legion has its Reviewing officer and Silver Cross mother for the annual Remembrance Day ceremonies. The public is welcome to attend the 11 a.m. service Monday, Nov. 11 at the cenotaph in front of the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital on John Street. The Arnprior Royal Canadian Legion Branch 174 announced Monday that Dolores Parsons will represent the Silver Cross mother and Edward ‘Ted’ Graham will be the Reviewing Officer for the Re-

membrance Day Parade. “Everyone is encouraged to attend this important ceremony in remembrance of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country,� says the Legion in a release. Veterans and supporters will march from the Legion to the cenotaph for the solemn ceremony. A bus will be provided for those veterans who need help in making the trip.

News – Arnprior is looking to hire a company to administer an e-voting system during next October’s election, despite the massive disruptions during the last vote. At its Oct. 28 meeting, council approved a staff recommendation to use Internet/telephone voting for the 2014 municipal election at a pre-approved cost of $8,000. It is convenient for outof-town and busy voters, and the disabled, along with being cost effective, eliminates spoiled ballots, and generates faster and more accurate results, reported town clerk Maureen Spratt in a report to council. There are fewer election workers and locations needed, though some will be on hand to guide the inexperienced. It is also considered the green voting option since it eliminates the need for travel.

News – After a meeting Tuesday at the Neat Coffee Shop, McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell told the Chronicle-Guide that the group of stakeholders has arrived at possible short and long-term solutions to keep the business open in it current location. “It’s a wonderful business that’s fully embraced by the community and fully supported by the township but we have to comply

with provincial legislation,â€? said Campbell. Appointed ofďŹ cials, including ďŹ re inspector Dave Hartwick, building inspector Murray Gahan and the Fire Marshal’s ofďŹ ce, are obliged to comply with legislation. Short term, township ofďŹ cials will work with Neat CafĂŠ owners Adam and Kim McKinty and their architect Richard White to increase cafĂŠ liquor licensing to 50-occupancy from the existing 18, said the mayor. A difference in the interpretation in ďŹ re code legislation between the architect and ďŹ re ofďŹ cials will need to be addressed to

help Neat reach the eventual goal of 148person occupancy. Neat Coffee Shop considers the space above the cafĂŠ portion of the building to be a mezzanine, while the Fire Marshal’s ofďŹ ce says it’s a second storey requiring another exit. White and Gahan will work together and look at ways around the problem. “They’ll be looking at alternatives acceptable to the Fire Marshal’s OfďŹ ce,â€? said Campbell. The McKintys can and will likely appeal the original ruling, said the mayor.

Buy a poppy Arnprior Legion member Mel Porter makes sure customers at the Arnprior LCBO store have a chance to buy a poppy. Porter was local poppy chairman for six years. Janet Clapham has chair the effort for the past two years.

The township reportedly received more than 400 emails in support of the Neat cafĂŠ, which along with the restaurant is a popular concert venue for local music lovers, having hosted all kinds of performers and bands, including the Trews, Monkey Junk, Ashley MacIsaac and Matt Mays. Going into the Tuesday morning meeting, the McKintys were hopeful. “We have a meeting/solution-ďŹ nding meeting with the township to go through the options to a resolution to both short and long term occupancy issues. We’re really pleased with the urgent response of everyone here and of the township,â€? said a Facebook update. The McKintys got plenty of support after a Facebook post outlined the issue. “Since March, we have been served with and completed work on 26 of 27 orders outside of the scope of the project. We strongly disagree with the last remaining order.

E-vote problems ‘solved’ Continued from front

said the couple. Kim McKinty attended a council meeting last year to ask councillors about the process needed to make changes in their building, which was once a school house. Council told her that there that most of the processes were mandated by the province. Meanwhile, the McKintys said that all scheduled shows will go ahead, and thanked ticket purchasers for their support. The coffee shop’s Facebook page was ďŹ lled with messages of support: “Good luck! As has been mentioned already, the mayor and councillors should be thanking you for the signiďŹ cant contribution you’re making to the community and its economy ... rather than hassling you over silliness. I sincerely hope that it plays in your favour,â€? wrote Andrew Henderson. “Hope things work out in your favor - you’ve put Burnstown on the map!â€? wrote Kristi Farrier.

However, after minimal problems with vote-by-mail during the 2003 and 2006 elections, the e-voting in 2010 experienced a serious failure during the last three hours of voting. A large number of voters and candidates couldn’t access the system in 34 municipalities including Arnprior and McNab-Braeside. As a result of the problems, Arnprior opted to hold a second day of voting. “Despite the failure, the Internet/telephone method proved very successful with the town experiencing its highest voter percentage and voters were able to utilize the most accessible form of voting,â€? reads Spratt’s report. Arnprior had among the highest voter turnout in the province at 64.6 per cent. No one on council raised the theory that the high voter turnout may have been the result of citizen outrage at the water billing debacle that had occurred weeks beforehand. Other arguments that have been raised against e-voting include it is unsupervised, the potential for mail fraud, the cost of long distance charges, lengthy time to vote given size of ballot, and possibility of jamming of phone lines. Mayor David Reid mentioned to staff that every possible failure, not just an electronic malfunction, must have a contingency plan in place. The company behind the last failure – which resulted from the high number of candidates trying to access section of the system set aside for them – has since solved the problems. Between ďŹ ve and eight companies offer the electronic voting service. More than 100 Ontario municipalities will consider electronic voting in 2014, compared to about 44 in 2010. The next municipal election is Oct. 27, 2014.

It does more than critically affect our business model; we feel it is simply not a safe solution in any way.â€? The post went on to say the occupancy remains the same after extensive work. “As a result of delays, the AGCO (LCBO), who have been extremely helpful throughout, have rightfully lost patience with the lack of progress and we ďŹ nd ourselves at the exact occupancy we had in 2009. Two large and expensive renovations geared solely to expanding occupancy numbers have not shown any progress at all,â€? they said. They urged supporters to have their voices heard. “If you can spare the time and feel strongly one way or the other ... a face-to-face at the township is best, a call is great, an email is great. We do not expect to attend the meeting, as our words have been heard over and over at the ofďŹ ce and we have not much different to say. Your words, maybe, have not been heard,â€?

News - McNab-Braeside council has lent support to the 2014 Association of Ontario Road Supervisor (AORS) Municipal Public Works and Trade Show. For $100, the township will sponsor a hole at a golf tournament organized for delegates of the June 4-5 event, which will be held at the Nick Smith Centre and at the Arnprior fairgrounds next year. Steve Boland, chair of the trade show committee, was at the Oct. 15 council meeting to update council on planning and ask for the township’s support. The event typically draws more than 2,000 participants and 200 exhibitors, said Boland. “It’s one of the largest if not the largest trade show of its kind,� he said. The last time the show was held in the Renfrew County was in 1992 when Petawawa was the host. Along with those with municipal interests, the event appeals to private individuals, including contractors, consultants and engineers. “If you can think of it, it will likely be on display,� said Boland. “From GIS equipment, snow plows to hand saws and weed eaters. It’s a great opportunity to see some of those things you might not otherwise have a chance to see.� The trade show is also a good chance to show off the area to potential investors or residents. “Our hope is that some of those two or three thousand people that come to the area will stay,� said Boland. He encouraged township officials and staff to attend. A call will go out for volunteer support, as well. “We will need about 60 volunteers on the ground,� said Boland.

Audit shows town finished last year with almost $500K Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – The following news briefs are highlights from the Oct. 28 council meeting in Arnprior. Council received the second of two annual financial audits at its regular Monday meeting. The 2011 figures from accounting firm KPMG came in last June. The 2012 audit shows the town in similar standing. Expendables last year came in at $15.3 million; revenue was $15.8 million; that means the town was $492,000 in the black. KPMG representatives said the town’s new processes in place to better track spending will be reflected in the 2013 audit. The audits were backed up because of staff turnover and shortages, largely during the previous administration. Council had little to say on the report, other than Mayor David Reid asking about the section comparing Arnprior with eight neighbouring towns. He wonders why such a large disparity exists between various communities. For instance, Arnprior’s residential taxes per household are $2,041 compared to Prescott’s $1,406. Arnprior’s debt per household is the highest at $6,147; Perth’s is $872. The town’s debt-to-tax ratio is 2.76, second from the top; Carleton Place’s is 0.58. Arnprior’s reserves per household is again second highest at $3,287; the lowest is Smiths Falls at $531. Reid was told towns list items under different categories. He will press for more details by having CAO Michael Wildman walk him through it. “The numbers are what they are,” he concluded. TREES DONATED

The town will plant 12 trees at the proposed town square site next to the Arnprior library, thanks to a bank’s donation. The TD Friends of the Environment Foundation program provided $3,600 in response to a town staffer’s application. Milliken Landscaping, which donated time to prepare a plan for trees to screen the apartment property to the north, suggested white birch for shade and blue spruce along the pathway to the east of the site. Milliken’s has offered to install, maintain and warrant the trees. The plan stays “well within”

the budget, according to a town staff report. Coun. Ted Strike questioned the tree choice, saying birches are susceptible to disease and a 40-year lifespan. Parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur said Milliken’s believes they are more robust and longer living than that. LAYIN’ PIPE

Civil engineering technologist John Steckly won approval from council to ask the provincial government for 90 per cent of an almost $400,000 project to reline a water pipe. Steckly explained the “feeder main project” is in the town’s long-range capital forecast and is a “strong candidate” within the province’s application guidelines. The pipe links the filtration plant next to Nick Smith Centre with the water tower across the Madawaska on Hartney Street. The 1,300-metre stretch of cast iron watermain dates back to 1957 and sits on the river bottom. “Recent underwater video inspections of the river crossing have indicated that there is a lack of pipe bedding and cover material along various sections of the watermain,” Steckly said, meaning some of it needs to be replaced. He called it “arguably the most critical link in the town water distribution system” and is “essential in providing both safe drinking water and fire flow protection.” If approved, the project will be completed by Dec. 31, 2015. DANCE MISSTEPS

Coun. Lynn Grinstead said she, and perhaps other councillors, didn’t understand what they were voting against when they turned down helping a fundraiser for a local family. At the previous council meeting, on Oct. 15, staff suggested council not charge Nick Smith hall fees for a benefit dance. Councillors voted against the request made by organizer Scott Brum. At the Oct. 28 meeting, Grinstead tried to convince her colleagues to revisit the issue. Dan Lynch was the only one in favour. Reeve Walter Stack and Coun. Mark Wilmer were absent. The Shawn Fridgen Benefit Dance takes place this Saturday from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Nick Smith Centre; door prizes and silent auction included. Tickets are $10 per person at Nick Smith. For more information call Scott Brum at 613-623-9964.

Don’t stop composting just because it's cold outside! Composting is easy simply collect your kitchen scraps in a small receptacle such as a pail, or a plastic container, and empty it into your backyard composter once or twice a week. Backyard composters are available at the Arnprior Town Hall (105 Elgin Street West, Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) for $30.00. Available to Arnprior Residents Only. Tips and Tricks for Cold Weather Composting

Collect bags of dry leaves from your lawn and your neighbors. Stockpile excess dry leaves in large plastic garbage bags or covered garbage cans for use throughout the year.

In the fall, harvest as much material as you can from your backyard composter to make room for your winter additions. Since the decomposition process is slower in the winter, you may need the extra room. Use the finished compost in your garden or store it in a dry place for the spring.

Continue layering "browns" and "greens". The right mixture of materials will help to keep the compost process moving along even in the winter, just at a slower rate. Greens (Nitrogen) comes from kitchen scraps, Browns (Carbon) comes from leaves and yard waste.

Your pile will likely freeze over the winter; however it will return to active duty once thawed. Once it does, you will be happy that you took the time to layer your greens with browns. One common mistake is to pile all the winter's kitchen scraps onto your pile without layering or mixing in browns. All-greens piles can be stinky!

News - In introducing Champlain LHIN’s CEO to county council, emergency services director Mike Nolan said he hoped Chantale LeClerc’s Oct. 31 address would help members understand how Renfrew County communities can benefit from, and facilitate, LHIN’s operations. Champlain LHIN and 13 other not-for-profit LHINS are responsible for funding about half of Ontario’s annual health care budget of about $42 billion. About 70 per cent of LHINs’ funding goes to hospitals, while the remainder is allocated for such areas as community care access centres, community support services, mental health and addictions services, and long-term care homes. This decentralized funding system has been in place since 2005. Programs not funded by the LHINs include Ontario Health Insurance Program-funded services (including physician fees), as well as paramedic services, laboratory services, capital investments for hospitals and provincial drug programs. The Champlain LHIN region extends from Deux Rivières and Algonquin Park to Ottawa and the south side of the Ottawa River where it meets the Quebec border. The local LHIN has funding responsibilities for 20 hospitals. Champlain LHIN’s executive director spent some time speaking about numerous funding initiatives in Renfrew County. A few of them were assisted living for high-risk seniors, intensive

Champlain LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) chief executive officer Chantale LeClerc addresses Renfrew County council. case management for youth with mental-health issues, supportive housing for people with addictions, exercise and falls-prevention classes, eConsulation, and a regional orthopedic program. ASSISTED LIVING

The assisted living program

for seniors, which LeClerc says was pioneered in Deep River, can include visits by a personal support worker and community paramedics. “Sometimes that’s help with a meal, sometimes it’s checking in, sometimes that’s accompanying them to a medical appointment, sometimes it’s help putting up the Christmas tree, whatever it takes to help the person to be able to stay at home,â€? said LeClerc. “The beauty of this program is that when other services are closed down, they can still ‌ respond in a short time and come and see what your needs are.â€? Variations of this concept, which include a travelling service or assistance in apartment buildings where several seniors live, are located in Eganville, Deep River, Barry’s Bay, Killaloe, Pembroke and Renfrew. “There are about 500 places across the Champlain region and we’d like to have more,â€? said LeClerc. LeClerc called eConsulation “a very exciting programâ€? that allows patients to connect with specialists without having to leave the region. “Forty per cent of the time, the patient never has to see the specialist (in person),â€? said LeClerc of teleconferencing capabilities. Regarding the orthopedic program, LeClerc said Champlain LHIN hopes to bring such a program to the Pembroke Regional Hospital in the near future for knee and hip surgeries. Whether implementing a new program or a new service, or changing the way Champlain

LHIN delivers healthcare services today, LeClerc said the local LHIN’s three major aims are to: 1) improve people’s health; 2) improve personal experiences with the health system; and 3) improve performance of the healthcare system. Performance, said Leclerc, covers such areas as finances, efficiencies, accountability and accessibility. An initiative not yet started in Renfrew County is Health Links. In that program, primary health care providers, such as doctors, specialists and nurse practitioners, “will come together to identify who the people are in the community that have the highest needs for health care services,� said LeClerc. “The idea is that by targeting this small number of the population – we’re talking one to five per cent of the population who consume up to 40, and sometimes 60, per cent of the health care dollars. “So by changing how we deliver health care to that group of individuals, we can actually get some savings that can be reinvested into the health care system, to sustain our system and the growing demands for it.� Also, Health Links will be established for north and south regions of Renfrew County. The south one, said LeClerc, has just had its readiness assessment approved. When completed, there should be 10 links across Champlain LHIN, although LeClerc said there’s no reason Renfrew County’s northern and southern Health Links couldn’t work together in the near future.

News - Renfrew County used to have a consultation vehicle with the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, the notfor-profit organization that funds about 50 per cent of health care costs in the region. But no longer, and Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon wonders why the advisory board is no longer in a consultative role with the Champlain LHIN. He posed the question to Champlain LHIN chief executive officer Chantale LeClerc after her lengthy presentation to Renfrew County council Oct. 31 about

LHIN funding and initiatives. Emon said the group, which was chaired by county councillor Janice Visneskie of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards, used to meet with Champlain LHIN maybe four times a year to offer innovative suggestions about local health care issues. “It’s worrisome that that’s no longer there,� said Emon, who wondered if that link could be re-established. LeClerc said Emon was referring to the community care advisory forums. “Some were more successful than others, and this one (in Renfrew County) was quite active and quite engaged with us,� said LeClerc.

“We are in the process of reviewing what structures we need to be able connect with the various communities. I don’t have an answer right now, but it is something we’re looking into. “And we’re very cognizant that we want to be able to have an ongoing dialogue, not just every three years when we develop our strategic plan.� LeClerc added: “I hope to be able to answer your question soon about what that could look like.� Emon responded by saying there would be follow-up correspondence about Renfrew County “reestablishing a closer relationship� with Champlain LHIN.

Everyone safe and sound after water rescue at White Lake Kelly Kent kkent@perfprint.ca

News – Three people are safe, sound and dry after their boat capsized at White Lake on the morning of Friday, Oct. 18.

At about 10:15, the Mississippi Mills Fire Department received a call about a water rescue at White Lake. Three people, two men and one woman had fallen into the frigid water when they were trying to get back to shore in their boat.

“It was three people, all in their mid to late-20s,” said Mississippi Mills fire chief Art Brown. “When we got there they had all reached shore and were being examined by paramedics.”

Brown said that all three boaters reached the shore on their own and were not taken to hospital for any injuries. “They were perfectly fine,” he said. “A little shaken and wet, but other than that there were no concerns.”

EDITORIAL

Relocate the town square In many communities the town square plays an integral role in civic life. As an open public space, a town square is often found in the heart of the community, surrounded by small shops and restaurants. It is often tastefully landscaped, suitable for open markets, concerts and rallies of various sorts. Arnprior doesn’t have an official town square. Does that mean council and town staff need to spend as much time and effort on creating one as they do? No. The town should abandon the idea of creating a town square next to the library. The concept is wrong on a number of fronts. Problem number one is size. At the open house back in March detailing the town square plan, there were two benches. That should satisfy, say, four people. But supposing an event was to take place at the town square; presumably more than four people would get sore feet. Is there room for additional seating? What about a stage? How about seating and a stage at the same event? Perhaps only if one were on top of the other. Problem number two is parking. There isn’t any. Perhaps the four people who found seating would also be fortunate enough to find parking at the library-museum lot. As for the rest? Best of luck even on days the museum and library are closed. Problem number three is location. Madawaska and Daniel streets meet at the end of Madawaska Boulevard where traffic funnels off and onto the bridge. This is an unforgiving intersection when it comes to crowd control. One wrong step and a passing car could end a life. Then there is the river below. That would mean two out of the square’s four sides pose a danger. Those are not good odds. Problem number four is the clincher. Inter-

est. As in no one has any. When Coun. Lynn Grinstead first grabbed the reins of a town square concept at this location with the backing of council, she promised it wouldn’t cost taxpayers a dime. The thing would be paid through public fundraising. Many, many months later and there is next to nothing to show for it. Grinstead, at the Oct. 28 council meeting, suggested two big donors were a week away from committing to the project. They should hold off until a new location is chosen. Most would agree the gazebo at Robert Simpson Park makes for a beautiful location to hold events, overlooking the Ottawa River as it does. However, if a town square is needed closer to the town centre, the empty lot across William Street from the LCBO would be a worthy option. If a new town hall is someday built near the fire hall, at William and John streets, the area would become an even more impressive civic district. It would be another reason to have the town square there, along with the cenotaph. The William Street location will be more central for most residents, given all the new homes underway near the highway. However, council is trying to solve two problems at the same time with this town square plan. One: the need to link the downtown with the waterfront and Robert Simpson Park. It is a legitimate problem. But putting a town square where it doesn’t fit misses the point. The road is the barrier. Two: the lack of a town square. We are not convinced it is a problem, again given the gazebo. But, if so, there is no need wasting time on one at this point. Wait for a new town hall.

Treats for Humane Society appreciated To the Editor: My girls are past the age of ‘trick or treating’ on Halloween night for candy, so they decided to solicit donations of loose change on behalf of the less fortunate animals at the Arnprior Humane Society. As it turned out, the girls were overwhelmed by the generosity of those who contributed. It reaffirms that Arnprior is a community that

cares. A cheque in the amount of $310 was delivered to the Arnprior Humane Society. Thank you to everyone who supported the girls. Carl Leesti Braeside (formerly of Arnprior)

Township residents prefer slow, steady growth To the Editor: An open letter to Bruce Firestone regarding presentation to McNab-Braeside Township Council Sept. 17 as reported in the Arnprior Chronicle Guide of Sept. 26. Bruce. May call you Bruce? You are right about a couple of things. The area you are proposing to develop is a ‘gem’. It is a gem because it has been polished slowly for generations. Reflected in the luster of this gem is balance. We have balance. The gem in question is the area known as Glasgow Station located mid-way between the thriving valley towns of Renfrew and Arnprior. What the two towns cannot provide we can get within a 40-minute drive or less: concerts, art galleries, museums, shopping centres, beaches, boating and swimming. And yes, if we really need a strip mall, we can find one of those too. How we have managed to survive as a community all these years without “programming for the entire demographic� I will never know. Apparently, while doing your homework, you discovered it would take 56 years to add 6,000 residences to McNab-Braeside. You say you can do it in 10-12 years. Six thousand new residences in 10-12 years seems more like an invasion to me. And if what you mean by “the township is not always welcoming to outsiders� is that we do not suffer fools gladly, then you could be right. I believe the council is and has always been concerned about the future of the township.

In a private conversation with a former mayor of Arnprior, he opined that McNab-Braeside was one of the “tightest� run municipalities in Ontario. I interpreted this to mean fiscally responsible and concerned for the future. I believe that this could quite possibly be true. You cite the success of the strip mall that houses the Dunrobin Meat and Grocery and suggest that council look at Greely. An explanation from you on why Ottawa rejected a small subdivision with mixed industry and housing, I believe would be very helpful to residents. It had to happen sooner or later; you invoke the Senators. It is meant, of course, to impress sports-minded residents of the community but more to impress potential sports-minded investors how you can get a job done. Coincidently, and just as significantly, I have connections to a sports team as well. You may be forgiven, however, if you have never heard of the Glasgow Gophers. I pitched for the Gophers and suffice to say we were a significant threat in the public school softball league in the seasons of 1961-62, but I digress. It is hard for me to imagine Mr. F that you have any real interest in the welfare of the residents of McNab-Braeside. This is a moneymaking proposition plain and simple. I understand the need to make money but not at all cost. I also understand why some politicians would be salivating at the thought of a rapid increase in population that would reflect their own ideas of success but once again not at all cost.

We should remember our fallen peacekeepers too To the Editor: Remembrance Day is, and will always be, for us a day of dignity, thankfulness and honour towards those who served our country in peace and war. While honouring those who paid the supreme sacrifice, we also pay our respects to those who served and continue to do so. Much has been written about WWI and the 66,665 who fell in battle, WWII with 46,996 fatalities, Korea that saw 516 of our service personnel who died there and lately

the 157 who were killed in Afghanistan. We tend to overlook or have forgotten that 121 of our finest died in the role of peacekeepers throughout the world. There was another war that Canada was an active participant in, and that was the Cold War. It was unique because the two main adversaries never went directly to war against each other. But it almost happened and if it had occurred, what would be left of this world would have been a virtual wasteland.

That was, of course, the Cuban Missile Crisis. While not officially recognized, Canada was an active participant in it. During the Cold War, the United States and the U.S.S.R. had multiple countries on their respective sides. On the American side were the NATO nations and on the Soviet side were the Warsaw Block and a few non-aligned nations that clearly were in the Soviet sphere of influence. These countries were known as ‘satellite states’ or ‘client states.’ As stated, the Cold War per

Balanced lifestyle is preferred Continued from Page 8

Archibald McNab (you can probably Google this guy) was an early ‘developer’ in this area. History has shown he too had little real interest in the welfare of the residents of McNab Township, my own Scottish ancestors among them. Suffice to say they were used by the Laird to pursue his own interests and line his own pockets. He was finally run off. I would like to think my ancestors played a significant role in his departure. If through slow polishing and maintaining a balanced lifestyle it will take 56 years to do what you can do in 10, then 56 years sounds

fine to me and I suspect also to many others. I would suggest to residents of McNab-Braeside that apathy is our enemy. Take the time to write a letter to your council. While I would not be so ‘cheeky’ as to ‘direct’ council, I would certainly suggest a policy that continues the slow polishing that will secure the township future and the legacy of the present township council. Further, after you and I are gone Bruce, Glasgow will still be the gem it is today. Terry J. Charbonneau Glasgow, McNab-Braeside

se was not a hot war, but during the Cold War there were a number of ‘proxy hot wars’. ‘Proxy wars’ take place when two main countries fight each other indirectly using the militaries of their client states. Vietnam was such a war in that both the U.S.S.R. and China

supported the North Vietnamese against the United States. Canada had limited involvement by acting as United Nations observers. The Korean War was also a ‘proxy war’ because both North and South Korea were supported by external powers.

During the Cold War, in addition to Peacekeeping and Korean fatalities, Canada saw 184 of its personnel die in the line of duty. We should remember all of them. … Lest we forget! Thomas Charbonneau Arnprior

War Amps spreads peace message to youth To the Editor: I belong to Operation Legacy, a group of members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program dedicated to preserving Canada’s military heritage and teaching other young people how to carry on the remembrance message. This year, the War Amps is celebrating a major anniversary. Ninety-five years ago, First World War amputee veterans formed the Amputations Association of the Great War. The name was changed to the War Amputations of Canada when Second World War amputees joined their ranks. These men later started the CHAMP Program to assist young amputees like me. In addition to having had the privilege of learning about Canada’s military heritage from a young age, I also know what it is like to live without a limb – a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans. Because of this, I feel it is my duty to ensure that the stories of war are preserved and its lessons never forgotten. Operation Legacy is a commitment to pre-

serving our national military heritage, and by doing so, we honour the men and women who have fought for us – even given their lives – to protect our rights and freedoms. And by passing on the stories of horror that these heroes have endured, it reminds us that war is something we never wish to face again. We remember that is better to choose peace over war and that standing up for what we believe in is what makes us Canadians. Champs in Operation Legacy wish to spread this message not only to the adults whose parents perhaps lived through war, or left a wartorn country to come to Canada, but also our youth, as they will be the ones who need to pass on the remembrance to the next generation so that we ensure that the legacy of our veterans is never forgotten. I encourage everyone – particularly young people – to learn more through the War Amps Military Heritage Series documentaries, which are available at a cost-recovery price at waramps.ca.

hoar crystals at the top of the lodge. While insulating the lodge takes time and effort, creating a winter food pile requires even more energy. The survival of the Beavers (up to 10 can spend winter together inside a lodge) depends primarily on having an adequate supply of food stashed away. Thus Beavers continue to add branches to the food pile until the pond solidly freezes over. As autumn wanes, Beavers become increasingly day-active to ensure a sufficient storehouse is created. It was believed that alders were one of the Beaver’s favourite winter foods because many food piles were adorned with branches of that shrub. However, alders are actually not a preferred food of Beavers for it is low in food value! Below the alders lay the preferred foods such as poplar and willow branches. So why is the visible part of the pile full of less desired food? Because that part remains locked in ice all winter and, therefore, remains inaccessible.

Insecticide linked to mass die-off of bees Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – About 30 per cent of bee colonies were lost last spring; the second year in a row for mass die-offs. The federal government has linked large-scale farming practices to the decline of insects that pollinate $2 billion worth of fruit and vegetables every year. In September, Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) issued to farmers a series of recommendations against certain insecticides known as neonicotinoids. Is it enough to recommend against the usage of neonicotinoids? *** Dwight Foster is a farmer in North Gower. He’s been scratching a living off the land for many years. A grain farmer with 4,000 acres – and a feed lot with 1,500 head of cattle – Foster can’t underestimate how crucial insecticides are to his operation. “The seed treatment is very important for the development of the crops,” said Foster, a man of few words. He said there is no reason to rush to judgment on neonicotinoids; that very little science has been done on the issue in Canada. He wonders if insecticides are killing the bees or something else or a combination of multiple factors. Health Canada blamed last year’s die-off to weather: one cold snap at the wrong time could devastate colonies. Then there’s exotic mites and fungi shipped in unwittingly or otherwise from far flung parts of the world that attack native bees. Or even if it is insecticiderelated, at which point in the farming process do neonicotinoids attack them? Foster’s point is that no one

at this stage can say for sure. And for him, the stakes are too high to act without certainty: a neonicotinoid ban would be a deal-breaker. “There’s no reason to throw the baby out with the bath water,” he said. “Without another product in place that does what it does, it would be huge disaster.” Many large-scale farm operations are highly efficient but deeply susceptible to unravelling at the slightest change. Expensive equipment needs to be paid for through expected high yields. The slow eating away at profit that nature caused in the past is, today, replaced by a solid defence against losses – thanks in large part to insecticides. *** Beekeeper Arnold Polk lives in West Carleton between Pakenham and Arnprior. He has been an apiculturist since the mid 1970s when he took over his father-in-law’s farm. It supplements his income, along with driving a bus and one-time pursuits such as lambing. But beekeeping didn’t supplement his income last winter. “It was a wake up call,” said Polk, who is happy to produce 30,000 pounds of honey a year. He managed just 2,000 this year. “I’ve never experienced anything like this before.” Polk is aware of the neonicotinoids debate. He has mixed feelings over farming practices. On the one hand, he knows they must grow more and more efficient to keep up with the competition, including the use of pesticides. On the other hand, he says the relentless pursuit of profit at all costs is having a devastating affect on the natural world. “Farming has changed completely in my lifetime. They don’t even cultivate anymore,” he said. “They are perfecting the

bottom line today, but maybe not tomorrow.” However, the die-off on Polk’s property this year had no direct link to neonicotinoids. It was the combination of a Varroa mite infestation and extreme weather. “We didn’t use enough treatment to solve the problem,” he said. “In July we had a cool period. And they never made honey after that.” Others would say neonicotinoids played an indirect role in the decimation. After many years of usage, industrial insecticides are omnipresent: in water, soil, plants and animals such as bees. It could make them more susceptible to parasites and fungi. Polk accepts that the science isn’t out on a cause, but conventional wisdom tells him that the two don’t mix. “I think it’s a contamination but I don’t have any proof of that. There’s a lot of research to do, a lot of unknowns right now,” Polk said. “All I know is that pesticides and bees don’t mix well together. DuPont and Monsanto (companies) do lots of research, but nobody knows the long term.” *** Beekeepers are anxious for a solution to stave off future losses. Farmers are unwilling to change the status quo for fear of losing profit. That may seem like a strict dichotomy. But according to the Arnprior area’s vice president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Debra Pretty-Straathof, it is more complex. Those who farm corn and soya use neonicotinoids. They are predominately in southwestern Ontario. Farmers in the Ottawa Valley area include those who require pollination, either because they are growing vegetables or feeding animals on food that flowered. “You will have polar op-

posites in any group, but we are trying to work together,” Pretty-Straathof said. “Neither side wants to wipe out the other. Everybody wants to help (bees) but nobody wants to have a knee-jerk solution.” She said it is widely accepted among farmers that neonicotinoids are a cause. What is less certain, at least from the beekeepers side, is at what point the insecticides affect pollinators. PMRA is studying contaminated “planter dust.” The hypothesis states that a coating of insecticide on each seed comes off during the farming process. It creates a dust cloud that bees fly though, causing them to ingest the neonicotinoids and die. Anecdotal claims from southern Ontario on this theory reached Polk. “He (a beekeeper) said when (bees) were coming

back through the cornfield they were falling like rain, and were in some kind of paralysis state,” Polk said. “They’ve lost hundreds of colonies of bees.” Critics say inhalation of dust plays a less significant role than does consumption. Neonicotinoids could be fused into the seed and, over many years, the soil, and taken up by the plant through the soil to kill insects feeding on them. Ponds and other water spots could be chemical soups after this many years of using insecticides too, adding to chances bees could be ingesting them. Health Canada regulators have proposed better labelling on insecticides and require farmers to implement safer seed planting practices. Those moves aren’t enough for beekeepers, who are fewer in number and therefore hold less clout over lawmakers. Another year of mass die-offs could harbour untold calam-

ity for many common foods such as: apples, onions, pears, beans, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, common peppers, eggplant, tomatoes and much more. However, at this stage it doesn’t seem those welding power are willing to move any time soon. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren is a farmer, and sold seed to farmers throughout the region. He lauds the effectiveness of neonicotinoids while reserving judgement until further study is done. “It is commonly used on corn seed to protect against insects and disease. It does work. It helps farmers,” MacLaren said. “Canada has very stringent rules about pesticides.” Still, if further studies show them to be harmful to bees or other animals, MacLaren said he has no problem with an outright ban.

ICT coaches to help educators work with technology News – The Renfrew County public school board has two new coaches to put in the game – the technology game. Information and Communication technology coaches Oliver Gallery and Samantha Noack have joined the school board team. They will assist classroom teachers with their instructional practice as it relates to the use of technology to support the curriculum and assist support staff with their application of new technology in support of the classroom. Such support will include technology integration and the co-ordination and delivery of specialized staff training activities. The ICT coaches will work with IT Department staff, other members of the school board’s central staff, school principals and teachers to collaboratively support the delivery of technology-integrated teaching and learning, and relevant, efficient support services. “We will primarily be working with RCDSB teachers with the use of technology to encourage the success and engagement of our students,” said Gallery. The two coaches will spend much of their time travelling to the 31 public schools all over the Valley facilitating curriculum planning among teachers and supporting professional learning teams with a focus on integrating technology.

News – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant rose in the House of Commons Oct. 31 to give a politically charge speech honouring the 41 men and women from CFB Petawawa who lost their lives in the service of Canada in Afghanistan. “As Nov. 11 approaches, it is important remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country,” said Gallant. “It is the role of the Government to provide the military with the proper equipment that delivered the best protection to them while they do their jobs, wherever we need them to be. Unlike previous governments, we are not playing politics with military procurement.” She cited the “short-sighted cancellation of the Sea King helicopter replacement contract led to so many preventable casualties” as an example. “By forcing our soldiers onto roads mined with bombs and improvised explosive devices, precious Canadian blood was spilt,” she charged. “Only after our Conservative government provided the right equipment, heavy lift Chinook helicopters, did casualty levels drop. “Lest we forget, the Opposition continues to play politics with military procurement. Come next election, we will remember.”

Farming family benefits from growing desire for local food Jeanine Moyer Farm and Food Care Ontario

News - Freshness and flavour are just a few reasons consumers purchase local Ontario produce. And for customers of McGregor’s Produce of Lochwinnoch in rural McNab-Braeside, they can add quality and taste to that list too, because the McGregor family has built their business and reputation on those two traits. “We only sell what we grow when it’s in season, and we won’t compromise on taste, quality or flavour,” says Ian McGregor of his family’s a multi-generation produce farm. The family grows strawberries, green and yellow beans, sweet corn, tomatoes, and raspberries. Everything grown on the farm is sold directly to consumers through farm markets and roadside stands throughout the Ottawa Valley. Ian farms alongside his wife Deb, his brother Cameron, his parents and three children. After returning to the home farm from university, Ian knew he wanted

He believes local food was the “extra push we needed in the consumer’s opinion” to grow the farm into the successful family business it is today, growing five different crops of fruits and vegetables, along with 350 acres of corn, wheat

and soybeans. With the local food movement gaining momentum, Ian believes consumers across Ontario are becoming more aware of the importance of sourcing local both to support local farmers and to enjoy the superior taste and quality that comes

from food grown close to home. He says the emphasis on local food is one of the factors that have helped their farm business grow faster. While many aspects of the farm still rely on the traditional means of harvest – hand-picked, hand-packaged and handed directly to the customer – technology and innovation has enabled the McGregors to expand their business and lengthen the seasons of their produce. “Our customers want a locallygrown product, but they also want to be able to purchase it for a longer period of time,” says Deb, who listens closely to her customers and understands that her consumers want to enjoy fresh, local produce as long as possible. Since strawberries and sweet corn are the farm’s most popular crops, the McGregors have introduced new varieties to lengthen their seasonal availability. Ian says they’ve extended their sweet corn season by planting their corn earlier and using plastic coverings to protect the seed and keep the ground warmer in the cool spring

weather. And the McGregors now grow ever-bearing strawberries, that produce multiple strawberry crops each year and allow customers to enjoy the fruit almost all summer long. Weather is one of the most important factors on a farm, especially farms that grow produce that is tender and easily damaged by extreme weather like storms or hail. Ian says he’s constantly watching weather forecasts and patterns to prepare for inclement weather. The farm uses row covers, or large blankets, to cover some crops against early frosts and drip irrigation systems placed along the ground at the base of their plants during dry weather to keep the plants healthy. “It’s challenging to deal with weather - especially extreme weather - on a produce farm,” says Ian. Everyone helps out on the farm – planting, harvesting and selling the produce. Most of what they grow is hand-planted and everything is handharvested. See MCGREGORS Page 17

Starting young at the fair Evan Miller, 4, from Arnprior, brushes one of his family’s cows that they entered in the agricultural component of the Metcalfe Fair on Oct. 6.

McGregors make use of social media Continued from Page 16

Though this hands-on approach is necessary to ensure quality, it’s very costly and labour intensive, requiring the help of 40 seasonal employees. And when he’s not in the field, Ian can be found at the local farmers market talking to customers about how their produce is grown, how to select the best fruits and vegetables and even his favourite way to enjoy them. “You know you’ve produced something good when you get repeat customers,” says Ian. “And that’s satisfaction to me.” The McGregors have also expanded their marketing to include social media. The family now uses Facebook and Twitter to reach their customers, creating communities to help resi-

dents of the Ottawa Valley source fresh, local produce. The McGregors host 2,000 to 3,000 customers to their farm annually. They are involved by volunteering on local community and agricultural boards and giving back through charities and fundraisers. The McGregors live by their slogan “growing the flavours of the season” every day on the farm. “We eat everything we grow and feed it to our own kids – we are proud of the quality and taste we produce.” Editor’s note: This article is one in a series of profiles on Ontario farmers and farm businesses produced by Farm and Food Care Ontario.

News - Opinions varied significantly in a Renfrew council discussion Oct. 28 about whether or not to include an indoor pool plebiscite on the October 2014 municipal ballot. After discussion, the issue was put off until council’s Nov. 12 meeting Earlier this year, council decided not to fund an outdoor pool, largely because of high operating costs and the absence of provincial and federal grants. Later in the year, council initiated construction of an outdoor pool but later did not support the one submitted bid on the project that would have cost about $1.5 million. “We know we can’t afford the big one, and no one wants the little one,” said Reeve Audrey Green. “The only fair way to deal with the situation is to hold a plebiscite …Why not let that be voted on, and put it to bed,” said Coun. Tom Anderson. “I like the idea of having everybody weigh in on it, because, as we have learned in the last few years, there are a lot of people who aren’t in favour of either (the indoor or outdoor pool) that never say anything,” said Coun. Clint McWhirter. If a plebiscite supported building an indoor pool, the town wouldn’t be over its required debt ceiling if it raised taxes 10 per cent and sought the other necessary funds from government grants and fundraising, said Anderson.

Resident scares intruder from home

Youth Criminal Justice Act. OPP Const. Ryan Besner investigated.

about 3 p.m. The door was kicked in and the apartment searched. It is not known if anything was stolen. There is a suspect and OPP Const. Walid Kandar is investigating. They were four of 202 calls the Renfrew Detachment of the OPP, which covers Arnprior and McNab-Braeside, responded to 202 last week. Included were four reports of domestic disputes. One man was charged with impaired driving, driving over 80 mgs, and possession of marijuana.

News – Renfrew OPP are investigating two intrusions on John Street North in Arnprior last week. On Thursday, Oct. 28 at about 10:45 a.m., a homeowner on John Street discovered a man in the home. The intruder fled the home out the back door and ran away. He is described as a short white male, about 40 years old, wearing a red sweater and blue jeans. Nothing was stolen from the home. OPP Constable Carlvin Burgins is investigating. OPP also report that an envelope with petty cash and a receptionist’s wallet was stolen from a medical office on John Street Thursday, Oct. 24. There are no suspects, say police. An iPhone has been stolen from a residence on Carss Street in Arnprior. The owner was at a party and sometime during the night the phone was stolen. An apartment on Elgin Street West in Arnprior was broken into on Oct. 31 at

CRIME PREVENTION

This week (Nov. 3-9) is Crime Prevention Week in Ontario. The OPP are promoting crime prevention and community safety all week. When the public is engaged and involved in crime prevention initiatives, the community benefits, notes the OPP. “It can be as easy as paying attention to the ‘Lock It or Lose It’ message, which encourages vehicle owners to remove valuables from their vehicles and lock them when not in use. Preventing crimes and victimization is the desired outcome of the week, and into the future.” The Renfrew OPP is working on crime prevention with their community partners this week, including Pembroke/Renfrew County Crime Stoppers, area schools while teaching DARE and OPP KIDS, and local media outlets. Province-wide, the OPP in conjunction with the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services is promoting five program areas.

TEENAGER ARRESTED

One teenaged male is facing charges after uttering threats and brandishing an edged weapon during a family dispute. OPP officers investigated the dispute on Wednesday, Oct. 30. A 15-year-old male was charged with uttering a threat and assault with a weapon. He cannot be identified under provisions of the

Artist unveils book in time for Christmas John.carter@metroland.com

Lifestyle – Calendars, puzzles and now a book. Arnprior artist Kevin Dodds has been expanding his Christmas offerings annually. This year he has added a book and desk calendar to his stock of Christmas items. He is particularly proud of In Grandpa’s Day, Memories of Pioneer Life, the book that features a number of his paintings of local scenes. The paintings are accompanied by a story written by author Roxanne McLaren of Kanata. McLaren is Dodds’ cousin and a member of the well-known Arnprior area Scheel family. Dodds says the story details some of the history behind the scenes in his paintings. For instance it explains how pioneers built log homes, how maple syrup is made and how crops used to be planted. The book is written in a way that both children and adults will enjoy it, he said, adding that seniors will especially “get a kick out of it,” as it should bring back plenty of memories. The $20 book is available at Dodds’ John Street studio (where he will sign copies), at book stores and through Amazon.com. He will also be signing books at the Pakenham General Store Saturday, Nov. 30 during the village’s Christmas extravaganza. Dodds also has his 2014 Journey Home Lang calendars, along with desk calendars this year. He has a new line of puzzles featuring Arnprior and other Valley scenes. He has also added book marks (“they

News - The agents of Century 21 Explorer Realty in Arnprior are again supporting the Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network by collecting for ‘Operation Snowsuit’. Donations of new and gently used, clean outer winter wear (snowsuits, jackets, snow pants, hats, mitts, scarves, boots) are welcomed at the Century 21 office at 201 Daniel St. Contributions can be made any time Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. right up until Dec. 7. The Explorer realtors will also be participating in the Arnprior Santa Claus parade Saturday, Nov. 30, collecting warm clothing donations along the parade route. Everyone’s generosity was much appreciated last year, and the Century 21 team is hoping for an even bigger response this year. Remember that your clothing and monetary donations go to Renfrew County’s less fortunate children who

Message from Queen’s Park

If you are on an energy contract or are a major power user, your rates are calculated differently. A commercial customer pays the hourly price for electricity, plus a little understood component called the global adjustment. In September that hit an all time high of 8.74 cents/ kw hr. This of course does not include other charges as delivery, debt retirement, regulatory charges and of course the HST. Electricity rates continue to be one of the most mentioned issues when I speak to constituents. Residents, particularly those at lower fixed incomes, simply cannot keep pace with the increases. Commercial customers lament that Ontario is fast becoming a jurisdiction where businesses are finding it harder and harder to stay afloat. The energy policy of the McGuinty-Wynne liberals has been nothing short of a disaster that continues to erode Ontario’s competitiveness. In spite of this reality, they continue down their ill advised path of building more inefficient and ridiculously expensive wind turbines. Their plans to triple the number of wind turbines presently operating in Ontario will drive these hydro rates much higher yet. This insanity has to stop. Monday, November 11th marks the 95th Anniversary of the end of the first World War. Remembrance Day is very special to me as I’m sure it is to you. The slogan being used this year “What if every day was Remembrance Day” is so very appropriate. In our busy lives, it is so easy to forget that everything we enjoy in our country today, we owe to those, who made the ultimate sacrifice in defending freedom and democracy. Their commitment to defeat the forces of tyranny cannot now or ever be overstated. Our debt to those 110,000 Canadians can NEVER be repaid. The devotion of the soldiers who returned was no less than those who did not. While fewer and fewer of those brave souls remain, we can express our undying gratitude to them. I can’t help but think about my Dad as Remembrance Day approaches and wish that he were still with us. He was one of the lucky ones, who did return and I’m sure I never thanked him for his willingness to risk his own life to provide the one which I enjoy today. I do, however have the opportunity to thank the Veterans who are still with us. When I meet them, I see my Dad in each and every one of them. As brothers in arms, they shared something that I can only imagine. The horrors and brutality of war that they experienced is something that they alone understand. Every year, I see fewer of those Veterans as every year, we lose more and more of them. Many of those who are still living are unable to attend Remembrance Day ceremonies any longer because of health reasons. Over the past several years, there has been heightened interest in Remembrance Day celebrations. Much of this can be attributed to Canada’s Afghan mission. Our brave men and women who have served so valiantly, particularly those who did not return, deserve our deepest gratitude as well. As the mission winds down, I hope our Remembrance Day ceremonies are not viewed as less important as a result. Ceremonies will be held throughout the valley. I encourage everyone to take the time to attend one in their community, LEST WE FORGET! 1107 R0072067653

Parents urged to ensure children get flu shot News - With the weather cooling off and a new flu season fast approaching, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Arlene King is asking parents to make sure their children get the flu shot. The highest numbers of flu cases are in the one- to four-year-old age group. Dr. King stresses that the sooner kids get the flu shot the better since it takes about two weeks to become fully effective. Children between the ages of six months and four years old can get their flu shot at doctors’ offices and at public health or

community flu immunization clinics. For parents, caregivers and children aged five and up, thousands of Ontario pharmacists are also offering free flu shots as part of the Ontario government’s Universal Influenza Immunization Program, designed to make it more convenient for people to protect themselves and others from the spread of influenza. This year, pharmacists at almost 2,000 drug stores across Ontario will be fully trained and ready to deliver free flu shots - roughly triple the number of pharmacy

locations as last year. Data from the 2011-12 flu season shows that in Ontario almost half (46.8 per cent) of all flu cases reported occurred in those over 65 and in children under the age of five. In addition to young children and the elderly, those who are especially encouraged to get the flu shot are people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and those who provide care and may transmit influenza to people at high risk, particularly health care workers.

Expanded dialysis centre to serve area News - More Arnprior area residents will have the option of taking the shorter trip to Renfrew instead of Ottawa for dialysis treatments. Renfrew Victoria Hospital has received approval from the Ministry of Health to proceed to tendering phase two of its major expansion, the construction of the new regional dialysis centre. “For our patients, their families, our staff and physicians, this is wonderful news,” said hospital president and CEO Randy Penney. This investment, says a

hospital news release, will add 23,000 square feet to the hospital’s existing infrastructure to ensure that people in the entire county will continue to have access to health care services closer to home. The call for tenders will take place right away. It is anticipated construction will take up to two years to complete. “These are exciting times for our hospital and patients throughout the County of Renfrew who will benefit from this very significant investment, in excess of $12 million,” said Penney.

Three games in three days too much for Packers Sean Marcellus

Sports - Playing three games in less than 45 hours proved to be too much for a young Arnprior Packers team, which was unable to earn a single point over the weekend. Playing with a short bench to begin with due to a couple of injuries, the Packers dropped a Friday night decision to the 10-4-0-0 Clarence Beavers 53, followed by a tough 10-3 loss to the 5-5-0-0 Almonte Thunder Saturday night and a 6-1 loss to the well-rested 5-60-0 Shawville Pontiacs Sunday afternoon. Last Friday night the Packers welcomed the Metro Division’s Clarence Beavers to town for an Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League tilt. It was a night of special team production, as six powerplay goals were scored, along with one shorthanded tally and one into the empty net. Clarence was lucky to squeak away with a 5-3 victory as the shot advantage was in the Packers favor 35-23. Brian Taylor scored two power-play goals for the Packers as well as adding an assist, Damian Armstrong scored on the man advantage as well and Packers Player of the Week, Captain John McLean, added two assists in the loss.

On Saturday night, with only 14 skaters the Packers lost a tough one to the Almonte Thunder 10-3. Too many mental errors cost Arnprior in their own end and goaltender Brett Hahn was pulled early in favour of starter Erik Miksik. He did not fare any better on this night, as the Packers’ tired legs showed in the second half of the game and they failed to score on the chances they had. Leading scorer Damian Armstrong scored two goals, his 11th and 12th of the year. Ty Fleming added a goal and assist and John McLean chipped in with two assists. Almonte outshot the Packers 45-25. Sunday afternoon saw the Packers head to Shawville to take on the Pontiacs, who were fired up and ready to go after dropping their first two games to Arnprior this season. With a week-long rest, Shawville scored early in the first and escaped the period with a 1-0 lead. The Pontiacs scored early in the second as well, putting them up 2-0 before the Packers cut the lead in half when White Lake native Dallas Farr scored on the power-play making it a 2-1 game. The Packers would keep it a one-goal game until half-

way through the second when Shawville scored on the power-play to take a 3-1 lead. The Pontiac scored and early period goal again putting them up 4-1 in the third before adding two more late markers to finish Arnprior off 6-1. “We knew well ahead of time this was going to happen at some point this season. We have a very young squad that will only get better over time, but we are going to hit walls off and on,” said head coach Bill Griese following Sunday’s loss to Shawville. “We are very happy with the compete these kids showed during such a tough weekend. Even though the bounces weren’t going our way, the guys never quit and they should keep their heads up high,” added Griese.

STILL IN FIRST

Despite the losses, the Packers (8-5-1-0) still lead the Valley Division, one point up on Renfrew. Arnprior heads to Perth to take on the (6-6-0-0) Blue Wings this Friday night and then hits the road to Clarence Creek to take on the Beavers Sunday afternoon. The Packers next home game is Friday, Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. against the Almonte Thunder.

Juvenile Packers off to 3-0 start

Sports – The Arnprior Juvenile Packers hockey team is off to a 3-0 start this season. Their first win Oct. 25 at home was particularly sweet. The 10-3 win over Smiths Falls was against the team Arnprior lost a nail-biter to in the championship final last year. The following Friday, Nov. 1, the Juveniles played at home against Carleton Place, winning 5-4. The game could have gone to either team, as both played well. On Sunday, Nov. 3, Arnprior played in West Carleton, beating them 4-0. So far the Arnprior players are showing ex-

ADHS girls win another high school rugby title Redmen win fourth straight championship with victory over Bishop Smith Sports – The Arnprior District High School senior girls rugby team has won their fourth straight Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association championship. The Redmen blanked Bishop Smith of Pembroke 17-0 in the rain at Dochart Park Oct. 31. Coach Glenn Wallace said the key to the victory was outstanding defensive organization and tackling, an effective kicking game, and strong core skills on attack. The Redmen kept Bishop Smith hemmed in

its own end for most of the game. The Crusaders were the only Upper Valley team to give ADHS competitive contests this season, although Arnprior won the three games by scorers of 31-0, 15-0 and 17-0. ADHS will move on to the Eastern Ontario championship tournament in the spring. Wallace notes that the team is a young group with only three Grade 12 students, “so the best is yet to come for them.” The team captains were Mikayla Davis and Alyssa Redner.

Sports – The Arnprior District High School senior football team defeated Fellowes 286 Oct. 29, but RCI also won thwarting any chance ADHS had of defending its RenfrewLanark championship. The results relegate Arnprior to a consolation game this Friday, Nov. 8 against St. John’s of Perth. RCI’s 34-6 victory over Mackenzie on Oct. 29 puts it in the Renfrew-Lanark title game against Almonte. While the Lanark teams agreed to determine their champion in a playoff, Renfrew County officials decided the regular season champions would be their representative. Both RCI and

... And Those Who Still Do

We will Honour Those Who Served They are our family, friends and neighbours, everyday citizens yet so much more. They are the brave men and women who have put their lives at risk to protect and serve our country. Remembrance Day ceremonies allow former soldiers to remember and salute their comrades who died in combat, and reminds all Canadians to consider the sacrifices that these people have made, and the tragedies they’ve endured, on their behalf. However, we shouldn’t forget those who survived, and those currently deployed in other operations. The men and women of the Canadian Forces have demonstrated time and time again that they can rise to any challenge. To all the men and women of the Canadian Forces who have sacrificed so much, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF

Bluefish swimmers have a spook-tacular first meet

Sports - The Arnprior Bluefish kicked off the swim racing season in fine ‘spooky’ form at the Perth Stingrays Spooky Halloween meet Oct. 27. This fun meet featured swimmers from the Bluefish, Stingrays and the Goulbourn Sea Hawks. The swimmers competed in freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke, butterfly, and individual medley (a combination of all four strokes). The talented Bluefish squad achieved some spook-tacular results. In the girls’ 10-and-under division, Lauren Herter picked up firstplace ribbons in the challenging 100m individual medley and the 200-m freestyle. Alex Wroe successfully tackled these races too and also won a first-place ribbon for each. Alexander Abercrombie was twice victorious as well, with two firsts in 25-m backstroke and 50-m breast stroke. Carson Lefebvre swam strongly and collected a third-place ribbon in 100-m freestyle and fourthplace ribbon in 50-m freestyle. In the girls’ 11-12-year-old divi-

sion, Lizzie Wyatt emerged champion of the 100-m individual medley and the 200-m freestyle, while Abby Mulvihill dove into the 100-m freestyle and the 200-m freestyle, finishing second in both. Lily McIntyre picked up a couple of third-place finishes in 50-m breast stroke and 50-m freestyle. Abby Harrod swam powerfully to finish fourth in the 200-m freestyle and the strenuous 50-m butterfly. Meanwhile, the 11-12-year-old boys also raced to some fine finishes. Cameron Shepherd tackled the 100m individual medley, finishing in first, with Mason Kenny hot on his heels in second. Mason also swam to first in the 25-m breast stroke. Cameron was victorious in the 50m freestyle, with Zach Wroe finishing second in this race. Zach doubled his second-place finishes with a strong 50-m backstroke race. Tate McIntyre left it all in the pool on his last lap of the 200-m freestyle and was rewarded for the effort with a third-place finish. Tate picked up another third-place

ribbon in 25-m backstroke. The over-13 girls had a fine day in the pool. In the 100-m individual medley, Simona Nixon, Michelle Reid and Megan Styles finished 12-3. Simona succeeded in the 50-m freestyle, too. Michelle was victorious in the 100-m freestyle, while Megan was second in the 200-m freestyle. Meanwhile, Maeghan Ziebarth was second in both 50-m freestyle and 50-m breast stroke. The day ended with a good-natured Pumpkin Relay Race, which pitted teams from each club against each other. There were lots of giggles and cheering as the Bluefish swimmers – wearing their Halloween moustaches - managed to navigate the length of the pool carrying a large pumpkin as the relay baton. Luckily, they discovered that pumpkins do, in fact, float.

RVH auxiliary to hold holiday house tour

Striking up big support for KatieBears Sign up to register for Nov. 17 bowlathon Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Community – It’s a bear-y fun event that will help sweeten the KatieBears’ honeypot this holiday season. The organization’s founder, Lynda Fraser, invites everyone to come out to the second annual KatieBears Bowlathon Sunday, Nov. 17 in Arnprior. Fraser, mom of the late Katie, for whom the group is named, said the organization is going strong and ready to give out another bundle of bears this Christmas season. “Come out for a great day and help KatieBears replenish our bear stock,” said Fraser. The funds raised support to purchase bears for the upcoming parade and Christmas event schedule. The group gave away more than 2,000 bears in 2013 at parades, and educational visits to schools, as well as to victims’ assistance. They also worked with local schools to help families in need during the Christmas season. Working to help others, especially at Christmas, a season her daughter so loved, has helped keep Katie memory’s alive and provides a reason for those who loved her to get together each year.

The benefits of support for KatieBears extends beyond borders as the organization now sponsors two schools in Jamaica. The Nov. 17 bowlathon at the Arnprior Bowling Centre will consist of three shifts – at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. and Fraser said spots are going quickly. The whole event is a fun one, with participants invited to dress in costume and win for a chance to win prizes. Part of the fun this year is a remote control car display courtesy of the Ottawa Valley RC Addicts. There will be a prize for highest individual pledges and all bowlers with $40 or more in pledges will receive bowling time, shoe rental, pizza, pop and a loot bag of fun stuff Other features of the event include a silent action, candy guess, draws and lottery hats. New volunteers, sponsors and donors are always welcome. Also, ideas for where KatieBears volunteers could visit would be helpful. Fraser said she’d like to hear from groups or individuals who might know more about various events that help low-income families. For more information, visit KatieBears on Facebook.

Winter pet grooming important How to choose the pet that’s Pet Talk

Pet Talk

Lifestyle - Back to the basics, winter is probably the most important grooming time of the year. This time of year creates all kind of coat challenges with the weather constantly fluctuating. As well our homes are heated at this time of year and forced air natural gas can be hard on coats and electric baseboard heating is dry. When the temperatures increase, our pets’ coats start shedding. Then as the temperature decreases, their coats tighten up. This constant up and down makes for a coat nightmare. If not looked after, your pet may end up being shaved right in the middle of a cold snap. Realistically when a coat is thick and full, most pet owners think is the way to keep them warm and cud-

IAN STUPP

dly during the colder months of the year, but it is actually far from the truth. A coat that is not well maintained throughout the colder months has absolutely no thermal properties and, therefore, is not keeping your pet warm at all. Think of it like wearing a down jacket full of holes and heading out the door on a cold day. Yes, you’re wearing a down jacket. However, it won’t keep you warm if the jacket is full of holes. To make matters worse, a matted coat introduced to water (snow, slush and freezing rain) mats even more, making it so tight against the

skin that the only humane way to remove is to shave it off. Another analogy would be like walking around all day with a very tight ponytail. Could you imagine the headache you would have and how uncomfortable you would be? At this time of year it is very important that dog and cats coats are combed and brushed out on a regular basis. As well they should have the opportunity to visit a professional groomer to have the undercoat removed making homework easy to do. All too often I hear owners complain that their pets hate being groomed because they fight, bite and walk away. I would hate it to if you were pulling at me because I had mats so deep that they could not be removed easily and painlessly. The other misconception I hear is the use of conditioner. Trying to detangle an

entire dog with conditioner is like trying to find a large band aid after swimming in shark infested waters. Conditioners work well in situations where you have an otherwise perfect coat and you want to remove a little tat behind the ear. Comb and brush time is also a great time to bond with your pet. It’s a great time to get down on the floor and show them just how much you love them and how you are willing to keep them as beautiful as they deserve to be. A happy, healthy coat will result in a happy and healthy pet that will give you years of joy. Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North, Arnprior.

Pet Adoptions

just right for your lifestyle Lifestyle - Here are a few tips for choosing the perfect pet: • Don't make an impulse buy: Do your research and understand the type of care and commitment your potential pet will need. • Consider things such as whether the dog breed you want needs lots of exercise, otherwise it'll create havoc in your home, or whether it's a cat that needs less attention. • Consider your lifestyle and how a pet will fit in: Do you have a demanding career that means you won't have lots of time for dog walks and playing in the park? Or do you live in an apartment building or in close proximity to others and therefore need a quite pet? Do you have a huge yard for a dog to play in? Are

there small children in the home that should be considered in your pet and breed choice? • Consider your health: Does anyone in your family have allergies? If so, this will play a key role in your choice. • Cost: Before you bring a new pet home, make sure you've done your research and understand the cost of ongoing care. • Visit animal shelters to get an idea of the kind of dog or cat you'd like: Take your time and visit a few shelters to see what is available for adoption. You'll be able to see the animals up close and get a better idea of their size and look than you would from a photo online. • Go with your gut: You'll know whether it's the right pet once you spend time with it.

Remembrance Day held in high regard for Mary and family Lifestyle - Mother was always concerned that we five children didn’t have the proper respect for the true meaning of Remembrance Day. The school at Northcote, with only 18 pupils, had no piano and the few county

officials were already involved with the ceremony in the town of Renfrew, and so there was little in the way of observance at the school. For this reason, Mother, each year, piled all of us into the Model T and head-

ed into town, where, as she put it, there would be a proper and fitting ceremony to remember those who had fallen in the First World War. Mother’s three young brothers had all been in the army, even though Mother said they weren’t old enough to vote, but they were old enough to fight in the war. By the way Mother talked about her brothers, I wondered if they perhaps had won the war singlehandedly! Without fail, the weather was always dreadful on Remembrance Day. We would drive through freezing rain or snow, it seemed, and at a very young age, I wondered if the terrible weather had something mysterious to do with the sombreness of the day. And so when we headed into Renfrew, we were bundled up like mummies, with hats and mitts, and winter boots. We certainly wouldn’t have the luxury of wearing slacks on such a day, and even though I usually hated them with a passion, I was very grateful for the heavy navy blue fleece-lined bloomers over our long underwear and long beige ribbed stockings. But it never mattered how much clothes we had on, there was always a piercing wind rolling down Raglan Street where the parade took place at the war

memorial, and it penetrated our bodies and had us shivering like leaves on tree. The children from the Renfrew schools always marched to the place where the ceremony was to be held. We five country children were very aware that we weren’t really a part of a group, but that certainly didn’t matter to our mother. She would wait until the town school pupils had formed perfect lines, neither looking left or right, and then she would march the five of us right up to the front row, and position us so that we were actually an extension of the line-up of town kids. My older sister Audrey was most embarrassed, but her protests did nothing to sway our Mother. The town children had sheets of music, and we would shudder in embarrassment when we would see Mother walk right over to a teacher, whisper in her ear, and then point to us, and then we would see her head

back to us with five sheets of music! For reasons much beyond my comprehension, someone from the town ranks of pupils always fainted. Just as sure as death and taxes, as soon as the person leading the program opened his mouth, one or two would topple over. If the overcome person was a girl, the teacher would rush up, fan her with the sheet music, and if that didn’t help, she would be carried off with her eyes rolled into the back of her head. But if it was a boy pupil who had succumbed to the pressures of the day and toppled over, he was left to lie there until he either revived on his own, or the ceremony ended. Emerson said, on the way home, “those Renfrew kids are a sickly lot ... certainly none of us ever fell over in a dead faint.” After all the war songs had been sung, out of the crowd would come a very old man with a shiny trumpet tucked under his arm. He would walk the full

length of the parade area, and he wore a soldier’s uniform that obviously had been borrowed. His hands were all but covered with the cuffs, and the pant legs bagged over his swath-covered legs. He was very elderly, and Mother, ever the one to add drama to any situation, said he probably fought in the Boer War. He played the trumpet loud and clear as a bell, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd! The Renfrew children were the first to march off the parade grounds, and Emerson, not to be outdone by kids from town, turned on the heal of his gum-rubbers, and with his arms swinging, marched back down the street to where Mother had parked the Model T. On the road back to Northcote, we would be subjected once again to Mother’s stories of how her own brothers went off to war, and often her voice would catch with the memory. But we knew she was filled with pride, and I too would be caught up in the stories, and would think of those uncles, who returned safely from battle, and unscarred ... and I would think I was related to true war heroes. And then I would know, even though I was very young, why Remembrance Day was so important to our mother.

Mary Cook’s mother’s chili sauce recipe

245 DANIEL ST., ARNPRIOR

Lifestyle - Ever since Mary Cook’s column of a couple weeks ago about the popularity of her mother’s chili sauce, there has been a deluge of requests for the recipe. It follows, with a few brief comments from Mary herself: “I am happy to share my mother’s recipe for chili sauce. I found the recipe again, and it is dated 1938, so it really is a Depression recipe. It may not differ that much from the recipes of today, but we sure ate it with great gusto back then. “There should be plenty of ripe tomatoes at the super markets and at the Farmer’s markets, so they and the onions should still

be available. Here then, is the recipe.” MARY’S MOTHER’S CHILI SAUCE:

12 large ripe tomatoes, two large onions, four green peppers, two tablespoons salt, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 tsp. Cinnamon, 1 tsp. Ground cloves, 2 1/2 cups white vinegar. Method: plunge the tomatoes briefly in hot water, so that they can be peeled easily. Peel the onions, and remove the seeds from the green peppers. Chop all of this fine. Stir everything together, and then add the salt, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and vinegar. Cook on low heat, and slowly, for about 50 or 60

minutes (I think closer to the 60 minutes is better, because you want it thickened). Stir it occasionally while it is cooking. Pour into hot and sterilized jars, and seal tightly. “Now, that is my mother’s recipe. What wasn’t included in her recipe, but I remember her doing, and I have no idea why she did it - but once the sauce was put in the jars, she turned the jars upside down on the bake table for about a day. This was before storing them on the shelves in the dugout cellar. But when I had to go down into that dark and dank hole to get a jar, they were always upright on the shelf.” Good luck!

Prior Players’ Leading Ladies set to open First performance this Friday, Nov. 8 at Christian Education Centre AMANDA DIXIE

Arts - Prior Players’ cast and crew for upcoming comedy production Leading Ladies are busy making the final preparations for their performances that opens this weekend. The stage is being built, costumes and stage props are being put in place – everyone is lending a helping hand to bring it all together. Dress rehearsals are in full swing and the actors are itching to entertain. They have been working hard and guarantee their audience a hilarious performance and an enjoyable night out. The cast is very excited to perform for you and make you laugh with every twist and turn of the plot. With plenty costume changes (as well as gender changes), you’ll be amused at just how dynamic these actors are.

Set in the 1950s, the play features a stage that will transform from a house with a garden, to a train, to a moose lodge – it is fascinating how quick and efficient their crew is piecing every detail together to make their show visibly spectacular. Ticket sales have been brisk, selling fast in several of locations – so be sure to pick up tickets for you, your family and friends soon. Tickets cost $15 each and all performance nights still have spaces available. The play opens this Friday, Nov 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Christian Education Centre, with other evening performances set for the same time on Nov. 9, 15 and 16 (doors will open at 7 p.m.), as well as a matinee performance Sunday, Nov 10 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available for pick-up at Bonnie Jane’s Scones, Arnprior Bulk Foods store and ShadeZ Hair salon. See you all there!

AMANDA DIXIE/SUBMITTED

The Prior Players production of Leading Ladies, which opens this Friday, promises to be a lot of fun. The cast includes Garry Anderson, Margie Klimpel, Marcel Girard, Pamela Hisko-Glofcheskie, Corey Grinstead, Devin Boudreau, Nadia Ouellet and Ray Maynard.

Prior Players raising funds for Arnprior Chest Nuts

AMANDA DIXIE/SUBMITTED

The Prior Players are teaming up with the Arnprior Chest Nuts to raise funds to help all members of the dragonboat team attend a major festival in Florida next year. From left are Dragonboat team members Diane Anderson and Ola Armstrong, Prior Players director Helen Bird, Julie Stashick and co-director Linda Kranzwsch.

News - The Prior Players are supporting the local Dragonboat race team, the Arnprior Chest Nuts, by donating all of the proceeds from their 50/50 draws at their performances to the group. The money raised will hopefully assist all team members to travel to Sarasota, Florida next year to partake in the International Breast Cancer Dragonboat Festival. The cancer survivors have been busy raising money towards breast cancer research in anticipation of the event in Sarasota, but the money from the draws will hopefully allow every member to afford the trip and let them participate.

Team members are excited to make an appearance for the performances of ‘Leading Ladies’ this weekend and next, as they will be running the front of the house and serving refreshments for the audience. CHEST NUTS HISTORY

The Chest Nuts – all breast cancer survivors – will be lending a helping hand while helping to achieve their goals. Founded in 2010, the group of inspired women decided to create the only breast cancer survivor dragonboat crew in the Ottawa Valley. Their mandate is ‘fitness and fun for breast

cancer survivors’. “Joining the team builds not only confidence, but lasting friendships,� says survivor and teammate Ola Armstrong. “You gain support and strength amongst teammates, who are young and old. “We are always welcoming new members.� So when you attend the Leading Ladies performances (a lovely evening out), you will help Prior Players in supporting local ‘Leading Ladies’. “Come out and support our mothers, daughters, sisters and neighbors who have courageously battled and are still battling breast cancer.�

Arts - It’s official, Puppet’s Up! International Puppet Festival will be back in Almonte for its 10th year on Aug. 9-10, 2014. Puppets Up! began in 2004 under the watchful and talented eye of Noreen Young. A puppeteer herself (Under the Umbrella Tree), puppet designer and builder, writer and producer, and Order of Canada recipient, Young knows puppets and, more importantly, puppeteers. Her dogged determination has made finding performers for the last nine years a lot easier. In fact, next year the festival will host its first Italian puppeteer, who found the festival online. “We have big plans for the 10th birthday of the festival,� said Young. “Think candles, balloons, party hats and puppets popping out of birthday cakes. We are throwing a huge birthday party next summer and want to extend the invitation to you and your family to join us in a celebration of all things puppets and fun.� Organizers will be inviting some old friends and fan favorites back to help them celebrate. The VIP puppeteer guest list includes the Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers (Maine) and Rag and Bone Puppet Theatre (Ottawa), as well as new friend Freddie Rivas (Toronto) who recently won the Canadian Comedy Award for Best Live Show. The festival relies on the kindness and generosity of a variety of sponsors, angels and granting agencies to sustain itself. If you are interested in helping, email info@puppetsup.ca.

Above All Things author visits Toronto author Tanis Rideout, who grew up in the Bahamas and Kingston, Ont.,displays her new book, Above All Things during a visit to Arnprior. She is joined by chief librarian Karen DeLuca (back) of the Arnprior Public Library and owner Gwen Storie (right) of the Arnprior Book Shop who partnered to present this year’s inaugural One Book, One Community program. Last Sunday’s part of the program was a reading and question-and-answer session with Rideout, whose novel is based on the love triangle of mountain climber Gregory Mallory, his wife Beth and his love of tall mountains, including Mount Everest where he died on his third climb of the iconic peak. It’s not known if he ever reached the peak, but his body was found near the top, decades after his ill-fated 1924 expedition. As Rideout says, books are great conversation-starters.

Bravery award presented to four Renfrew County paramedics steve.newman@metroland.com

News - It’s a call that paramedics Brad Smith, Sean Plunkett, Mathieu Grenier and Kody Koepsel will long remember. Each played a pivotal role in saving the life of a snowmobiler whose machine went through the ice Feb. 12, 2012 on Calabogie

Lake. Because of their actions that afternoon, under difďŹ cult conditions that included deep snow and a troublesome, steep lakeside embankment, they were recognized with the N.H. McNally Award during the Ontario Association of Paramedic Chiefs annual meeting in Richmond Hill. Smith is a Horton resident, while Plunkett lives

Even though the rescue efforts occurred more than a year and a half ago, Renfrew paramedics Smith and Plunkett say memories of that day remain strong. In fact, for quite some time Smith had several restless nights with images of the snowmobiler struggling in the water and Smith later being ipped into the water. “I’ve lost a lot of night sleep, just seeing him oating in the water and everything that could have happened,â€? said Smith.

Renfrew County paramedics were in the spotlight at the Oct. 31 meeting of Renfrew county council. Kody Koepsel, Mathieu Grenier, Sean Plunkett and Brad Smith were introduced after receiving N.H. McNally Awards earlier this fall for their role in saving a Calabogie snowmobiler in February 2012. Local paramedics were also acknowledged for receiving Governor-General’s exemplary service medals – deputy-chief of logistics Brian Leahey and Plunkett for 20 years, and deputy-chief of operations Michel Ruest for his 30-year bar. From left are Leahey, Koepsel, Grenier, Plunkett and Smith. “I’m appreciative,� said Plunkett. “It’s just a pleasure to be recognized by county council.� panion that day was student-paramedic Koepsel, now a part-time Renfrew County paramedic. Nearby, the hydro dam was still running, so a call was made to stop the dam and tend to the snowmobiler. Meanwhile, one snow-

mobiler was leaning out of a canoe he’d found on the shore about 100 metres away and hanging on to the helmet of the snowmobiler who’d crashed through the ice. Smith, Plunkett and Koepsel arrived together, while district manager

Grenier arrived shortly afterwards. Paramedics aren’t trained in watersafety rescues, but they pursued a rescue attempt with the help of another canoe found close by, as Koepsel grabbed more rope from the ambulance.

The exhausted snowmobiler continued to hang on to his friend, who remained in the water, until Smith replaced the ďŹ rst rescuer and hung on to water-logged snowmobiler. See WATER Page 49

Water rescue ‘rewarding’ for emergency officials Continued from Page 48

“I got a grip on his jacket. The only things above the water were his head and his helmet,” said Smith, who had a rope tied around his chest that Plunkett were pulling on gently, in efforts to bring both closer to the thicker ice. “The (rescue) guy was yelling and saying he couldn’t hold on,” recalled Plunkett. “The guy in the water still had his helmet on. He was so heavy (with the combination of being over 200 pounds and saturated with water) that when Smith and two firemen eventually pulled him out of the water, both (of the snowmobiler’s) shoulders dislocated.” Smith, meanwhile, continued to hang on to the snowmobiler with uncertainty. “I wasn’t

sure if the ice would be strong enough to hold the two of us, so I just got him to the edge of the water,” said Smith. A short while later, members of the OPP and the Greater Madawaska volunteer fire department arrived and were able to put an aluminum boat into the water. Then, as the water-logged snowmobiler was being moved into the aluminum boat with the help of two firemen and Smith, Smith’s canoe was tipped back violently. Smith was tossed back into a water-filled canoe and then out of the canoe into the water. Smith, who’s a non-swimmer, was tossed a life jacket and Plunkett pulled him onto the ice shortly afterwards. By this time, the snowmo-

biler had also been pulled onto the ice and was transported by stretcher up a steep embankment to the ambulance. At the time, the snowmobiler’s body temperature was a precarious 26C after being in the frigid water at least 35 minutes. His life was in jeopardy, but with the help of a warming bed at Renfrew Victoria Hospital, his body temperature gradually returned to normal. He was within a few degrees of dying, recalls Plunkett. “It was a gratifying experience to know we walked away and no one was badly injured,” said Plunkett. “We saved his life, and we know if it wasn’t a collective effort he would have died right in front of us.”

Grenier says it was a rewarding rescue. “Often we save lives because of our training. You do what you have to do, but when someone is in cold water and you’re not trained to do that specifically … It was a different challenge.” Looking back, Grenier says he’s “pretty overwhelmed with what we did and the feeling that we had. I don’t know how to describe it. (With the rescue done) it was a combination of exhaustion and feeling good about ourselves.” Knowing Smith is nearing retirement, Grenier says he’s particularly pleased that the bravery award is going to his senior colleague. “I’m very glad for Brad .... I’m glad something like this happened to a good paramedic like that.”

Help Make a Difference at Arnprior Regional Health

November is Diabetes Month

The Board of Directors of Arnprior Regional Health is seeking volunteers to serve as Directors on its Board or as Community Representatives on one of its three Standing Committees for terms beginning January 2014.

In Canada, Ontario and Nova Scotia are tied for second place with the highest diabetes rates in Canada at 6% of the population. In Renfrew County the statistic is a little higher at 6.8%. You are at risk of developing diabetes if you are older than 40, have hypertension, are overweight and if you have abdominal obesity. Risk of developing diabetes is also higher for those who have a firstdegree relative with type 2 diabetes or if you are a member of a high risk population (e.g. people of Aboriginal, African, Asian Hispanic, or South Asian descent). Diabetes occurs when the body can’t make enough insulin or can’t properly use the insulin it makes. Type 2 diabetes tends to creep up on people, taking years to develop into full-blown diabetes. It begins when muscle and other cells stop responding to insulin’s open-up-for-glucose signal. The body responds by making more and more insulin, essentially trying to ram blood sugar into cells. Eventually, the insulin making cells get exhausted and begin to fail. Type 2 diabetes used to be called adult-onset diabetes, since it was almost unheard of in children. But with the rising rates of childhood obesity, it has become more common in youth, especially among certain ethnic groups. Type 2 Diabetes can be prevented. You can lower your risk by controlling your weight, regular exercise, adopt healthier eating habits, skip sugary drinks, choose good fats instead of bad fats, limit red meats and avoid processed meat (nut, whole grains, poultry and fish are great options), and if you smoke try to quit. If you have questions about diabetes, speak to your family doctor.

Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) encompasses Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital and the Grove Nursing Home, including its Assisted Living Services. Its Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of Arnprior Regional Health and is specifically responsible for the corporation’s mission, vision, and values; strategic planning; financial stewardship; quality of care performance monitoring; and communication with stakeholders. If you have strong leadership experience as well as qualifications in the various fields related to these accountabilities, please consider applying for membership on the Board of Directors of ARH. We are also seeking Community Representatives on each of three Standing Committees of the Board: Quality Improvement, Resources Planning, and Governance. If you feel you would like to participate on one of the Committees or have a particular skill you wish to exercise, please consider applying for one of the Community Representative positions on the three Standing Committees. Interested individuals can receive an application package from the website www.arnpriorregionalhealth.ca; by emailing SRyan@arnpriorhealth.ca; or by calling 613-623-3166 x 221. The deadline for applications is NOVEMBER 25, 2013.

Save the Date: The Tree Lighting will take place on Friday, December 6 on the front steps of Arnprior Regional Health—ADMH. This is a family friendly event to celebrate the joy of the season. Join us for complimentary BBQ’d hot dogs, hot chocolate from Tim Hortons, a visit with Santa and so much more. Visit our website for more information www.ArnpriorRegionalHealth.ca

New book gives readers a ‘Time of Your Life’ John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

News – Everyone has interesting stories to tell. No one knows this better than local authors Gayle Leona Jabour and Daniel Tigner. After a series of highly enjoyable interviews with 40 intriguing people between the ages of 50 and 100, they have written a book called The Time of Your Life (Everyone Has a Story) published by Valley-based General Store Publishing House. Among the retirees interviewed was White Lake songwriter Bill Connelly, a noted story-teller in his own right. Connelly appeared with the authors recently on Valley Heritage Radio to promote the book and sing a song to mark National Seniors Day. “He’s a great guy,” said Jabour, during a visit to Arnprior to promote the book. “He has such good stories to tell.” The pair explain that it was a yearlong project to conduct the interviews and write The Time of Your Life. They say they had a wonderful time interviewing all their subjects, which included First Nations advocate Earl Command, former NHL player Laurie Boschman, and radio personality Gord Atkinson and his wife Elaine. “We really enjoyed hearing everyone’s stories,” said Jabour, who is well-known as a television producer and researcher. It’s an eclectic group with rich

life experiences. Among the others interviewed are an Eastern Orthodox priest, a former television producer, member of the spiritualist church, bus driver, teachers, caregivers and a host of others who have had interesting and challenging lives. Jabour and Tigner, a teacher and photographer, say The Time of Your Life is all about learning to take life more in stride. A high value is put on spirituality by most of those interviewed, “as one would hope of those who have lived long and well.” As Jabour says, “we want people to learn from them.” Most subjects give good advice, from stressing how good it feels to help others to encouraging people to keep moving and continue to be useful as they grow older. Another theme of the book is that it is never too late to begin something new. General House is touting the book’s “uplifting and positive stories” as “good reading for all ages.” BOOK-SIGNING NOV. 23

The authors will be in Arnprior Saturday, Nov. 23 from 1 to 3 p.m. for a book signing at the Book Store. The Time of Your Life retails for $24.95. As well as collaborating on The Time of Your Life, they are working together on radio and television documentaries and other book projects. For more on the authors and book, visit www.the-time-of-your-life.ca.

(Nee Hanniman) Sept 18, 1951 – Nov 8, 2012 One year has passed Since that sad day, When one we loved Was called away. Our lives go on without you But nothing seems the same We have to hide our heartaches When someone speaks your name. You did so many things for us Your heart was kind and true When we needed someone We could always count on you. Sad are the hearts that love you Silent tears that fall Living each day without you Is the hardest part of all. Lovingly remembered by (Brothers) – Ab and Dave (Sisters) – Marlene and Chrissy & their families

CLR481377

In loving memory of a dear daughter, Denise Who passed away on November 6, 2010. God looked around His garden, And saw an empty place. He then looked down upon this Earth, And saw your tired face. So He put His arms around you and whispered, “Come and rest.” God’s garden must be beautiful, Because he only takes the best.

Always remembered and loved, Mom, Maudella Scheel
