Arnprior children’s librarian among best in Ontario DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Most parents and children who spend time with Carolyn Swayze know what a great librarian she is. So when the Ontario Library Association (OLA) named her Children’s or Youth Services Librarian of the Year it came as little surprise. It was to her, though. “It was a complete surprise. I didn’t even know I was nominated,” Swayze said from the children’s section of the Arnprior Public Library on Nov. 3. “I was surprised, and shocked, and just so fortunate to be in this great environment with these great coworkers. And our library is such a special place.” OLA asked over 1,400 members across the
province to celebrate the achievements of their colleagues through three awards, including Excellence in Children’s or Teen Services and Leadership in Adult Reader’s Advisory. The key to becoming one of Ontario’s best children’s librarians? “Being responsive to what the kids want,” said Swayze, who joined the library in 2010. “They have great ideas. The kids that come in here are so bright; it gives me hope for the future. It’s such a joy to spend time with them.” Maureen Sly-Havey is chairwoman of the library board. She said the organization was thrilled to learn of the award, and that the library is lucky to have Swayze. “She is enthusiastic, innovative and loves children and is passionate about providing library services to children and youth,” Sly-Havey said via email. “It is a well-deserved recognition.” Chief librarian Karen DeLuca’s nomination

Arnprior Public Library’s children’s program is kid-led, says Carolyn Swayze. form detailed Swayze’s expansion of the children’s department, including new collections, technology, programming and profile in the community. “Her ever-present sunny disposition is inviting to all children who adore coming to the library,” DeLuca wrote. “When some of her regulars become too old to attend their favourite programs, they clamour to volunteer.” Before joining the library Swayze worked for Bound2Learn, an Eastern Ontario book distributor specializing in educational resources to school boards. Her knowledge of children’s literature and keen interest in public libraries made her a natural choice as the head of the Arnprior Public Library Children’s Department, DeLuca penned. She manages a full slate of activities from September to May. In addition to her five regular weekly programs, she offers:
• Special author visits; • Encourages children to participate in all levels of OLA’s Forest of Reading; • Outreach and support to daycares; • Outreach and resource support to five area schools, including Arnprior & District High School’s Special Education classes; Girl Guides and Scouting Troupes; • Outreach to the Arnprior chapter of the Ontario Early Years Centres; • Outreach to the Health Unit’s Prenatal Classes. Swayze hires and supervises all summer students who maintain her high level of programming. In 2015, she: • filled 7144 programming spaces for children of all ages (including 1569 summer programming spots over a 7 week period); • selected and catalogued 913 new acquisitions; • circulated 42,887 items from the juvenile and teen collections; • applied for and received two successful summer employment grants; • secured funding from The Writer’s Union of Canada for Red Maple author visits; • maintained and created new community partnerships. DeLuca said she has also fostered a strong connection to - and gained respect from - her peers as coordinator of the Eastern Ontario Children’s Services Networking Group. “In my opinion, there are very few who rival Carolyn’s drive, determination and success in children’s programming in Ontario.”

Arnprior councillor would welcome Habitat for Humanity DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
A surplus-lands discussion at Arnprior council led to a councillor suggesting a partnership with Habitat for Humanity. A staff report tabled at the Oct. 25 meeting recommended selling residential lots on two parcels of land. One is the Allan Drive Park. After a slope stability assessment study was done for the ravine at the back of the property, it was determined that three separate single detached homes could fit on the land. The three pieces of land
could sell for a total of $235,000. The second is located at 44 McDonald St. North on former CN land. An estimated value was not completed early enough to include in town planner Robin Paquette’s report. However, she did mention a charity that helps low-income families. “Council has been approached in the past by the Habitat for Humanity organization in this area with regards to potential building site donations for the creation of safe, decent and affordable homes for hard-working, low-income families to purchase with an interest-free, long-term mortgage,”
Paquette wrote. “Council may wish to direct staff to pursue this option with one of the properties listed as a potential residential property.” Mayor David Reid was ready to pass through the report with comments on technical aspects. It was Coun. Frank Dugal who raised the prospect of Habitat for Humanity. He asked that council consider it. Reeve Walter Stack said any money made from the sale of the “passive park” on Allan should go into a reserve for the waterfront rehabilitation project. Reid agreed. “If parkland is disposed of, it
should go back into parkland,” Reid said. Dugal agreed, then asked about McDonald. Reid, who was a developer before joining municipal politics, said the property there is too small for a single family home. And it is located on commercial property. “If others come up – I say we should consider it,” Dugal said. “We should do the right thing for the comDEREK DUNN/METROLAND munity.” Reid agreed, saying “many other This “passive park” along Allan opportunities” will come up in the fu- Drive could have three homes on ture. it in future.

County will not overrule town’s ORV decision Continued from page 1
Some members of council are wondering if their position as locally elected legislators will be usurped. “If at the end of the day a local council has made a decision – it will be honoured,” Sweet said. “We are not going to tell municipalities what can happen in their jurisdiction.” The is no right answer, Sweet said. Petawawa and Pembroke have partial or no allowance for recreation vehicles. There is a parking lot on either end of town for pick up and drop off. On numerous other issues, the partners haven’t answers as of yet. How will motorized and non-motorized safely co-exist. If a user leaves the track and enters private property, trespassing laws apply; but if they cause damage it is unclear who is liable – the individual and county? Some property owners have leased their land to CP. So how can CP sell it to the partners? Horton resident George Bruemmer attended the meeting at the Bonnechere Manor on Oct. 25 to see how the trail would affect his property on Thomson Road. “Our driveway has a right-of-way across the tracks,” said Bruemmer, pointing to his land on one of the many large maps set up in the hall. “We are curious to see if that will be honoured.”

Overall he is supportive of the new trail. “I hope it will become a recreation trail, it will be great,” said Bruemmer. “I love riding my bike on old rail beds, if it gets fixed up it will be great.” Sweet is not overly concerned. He said CP is expected to clean up its side before the sale. On issues of maintenance, he points to the county’s decades of experience running the K&P trail. The new trail will be run in a similar fashion. On the necessary upgrades, such as stone dusting to allow for better cycling, the money will also come from reserves. Few are more excited than Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, who also sits on county council. He talked about connecting communities with this “backbone” to create “almost unimaginable” economic potential. There hasn’t been any studies to show how many outside users will be attracted or the amounts they would spend. Stack, himself an ATV user, anticipates many users from across the county will visit Arnprior and elsewhere. He plans to visit other areas. The rail line offers much nicer views than travelling by road. Most importantly for him, though, is what this means for the future. “This is an unbelievable legacy opportunity for our children and grandchildren,” he said. Admaston-Bromley Coun. Robert Hall thought the new trail was a good idea. “I think it’s great and it should be open to all motorized as well,” said Hall, at the Renfrew meeting. “You should give everyone the same opportunity.” Hall also thought the trail should be connected to other trails in Ontario. McNab/Braeside councillors Heather Lang and Scott Brum were at the Nov. 1 meeting in Arnprior. Lang said it would relieve some pressure from the CN trail. Brum said issues such as motorized versus non are solvable. Both welcome the creation of Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail. -with files from Tiffany Lepack

Kudos Warden Emon
C
ongratulations Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon on a job well done. Feted at the recent 2016 Renfrew County Warden’s Banquet, Emon has about another month as the head of county council before a new warden will be selected. The banquet was a chance for colleagues and peers to praise and thank Emon for his extensive efforts during his four terms as warden, as well as reflect on his many challenges and accomplishments over the years. For those who spoke at the event, including Emon himself, key themes emerged – cooperation and partnership. In a world where so often conflict and finger-pointing and judgement are prevalent – Emon, while pushing forward important issues, has found a way to work with all levels of government, as well as his peers – in a reasonable, fair and efficient manner.
Time and time again at the event, Emon’s pleasant manner and sense of humour were noted. Emon has honed in on the importance of making people feel valued, significant and appreciated - all hallmarks of a good leader. And it’s paid off in spades. He’s seen many successes and faced many challenges, all while maintaining a firm, reasonable approach that ultimately sees results. And while come December he will no longer wear the warden’s chain of office, Emon, as Reeve of Renfrew, past-chair of the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus, staff member at Family and Children’s Services and family man - will continue to work hard for an area, a community, that he loves and appreciates. In his own words, Emon sums it up nicely: “Together, we are all smarter, better and stronger.”

Baby steps needed in effort to reduce/ban use of pesticides To the editor:
With recent reports by the World Wildlife Federation about the decline of species I am motivated to write on the topic of neonicotinoid pesticides (neonics) and reflect on what others are doing to reduce/ban the use of these pesticides. The following information must be credited to the Wilderness Committee of Vancouver from their 2016 publication. Several recent actions to curtail and or ban

the use of neonics are listed; 1) The Wilderness Committee along with the David Suzuki Foundation, Friends of the Earth and Ontario Nature are challenging the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) of Canada for their unlawful registration of pesticides clothiannidin and Thiamethoxam, two very deadly bee-killing neonics. The PMRA is required to have “reasonable certainty” that no environmen-
tal harm will result when they register pesticides for use in Canada. 2) In 2015 Ontario (now Quebec is following Ontario’s lead) moved to heavily restrict the use of neonics on soybean and corn crops by 80 per cent. This followed the devastating 58 per cent loss of honeybees in the winter of 2014. 3) In the Summer of 2016 Vancouver joined Montreal to ban the use of neonics within city limits.

Birdbrain a complimentary term Many phrases involving wildlife have been incorporated into our lexicon. ‘Eagle eyed,’ ‘busy as a beaver,’ and ‘wise as an owl’ are all complimentary terms. But other references to wild things have a different connotation. One is being told that you have the brain of a bird, in other words, being called: ‘birdbrain.’ The expression arose when it was discovered that birds lacked a neocortex, the part of the human brain that is, among other things, responsible for language and reasoning. Because birds lacked a neocortex it was assumed they were unable to think and so the term ‘birdbrain’ arose. However, numerous behavioural studies have revealed that birds perceive the world in a way similar to how mammals do, and actually have similar cognitive abilities. A few even manufacture tools: New Caledonian Crows modify twigs to extract grubs from logs. None of our local birds use tools but two species demonstrate way-above-average brainpower. Black-capped Chickadees and Gray Jays both store food for the winter and have a remarkable ability to relocate that food, sometimes months after
hiding it. I think it safe to say that eve r yo n e k n ow s Blackcapped Chickad e e s . These affable little birds are present almost everywhere and are regular visitors to backyard feeders. Anyone who has been to Algonquin Park has likely met Gray Jays, which look not unlike giant chickadees as they also wear black, white, and grey feathers. And like chickadees, Gray Jays readily come to humans for handouts. Gray Jays and most Blackcapped Chickadees remain here year round, and as part of their preparation for winter they store food such as seeds, berries, and insects. Chickadee caching usually starts in the fall, while Gray Jays start stashing food in late summer. In Alaska, Gray Jays have been known to store food
as early as mid June. Gray Jays start earlier than chickadees because they depend heavily on cached food for their winter survival while chickadees continue to dig out dormant insects and visit birdfeeders. Also, Gray Jays nest in late winter, and use stored food to feed newly hatched young. In both species, food items are individually hidden, often under bark or lichens, or in crevices. Each bird stores thousands of items annually. Remarkably, those birds know exactly where each item is hidden and not only locate them at will, but also delete visited locations from their memory bank so that they don’t waste valuable time going to an empty pantry. To locate stored food, chickadees and jays use their remarkable spatial memory. This memory arises from the brain’s hippocampus. Even more remarkable is that the chickadees’ hippocampus appears to increase in size during the fall. This is likely because food storage begins then, and an enhanced ability to recall where the food was stored is essential. Neurogenesis, the ability to generate more brain cells, also likely occurs in Gray Jays.
MICHAEL RUNTZ
Gray Jays depend heavily on their food caches to get them through the winter.

Peter Emon hosts 2016 Warden’s Banquet in Renfrew SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com
It’s been a historical year and a successful term for Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon. “In 2016, we have seen the designation of the beautiful Ottawa River as a Canadian Heritage River,” said Emon at the Warden’s Banquet Oct. 28 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre in Renfrew. “A mark in history was also made when we sat with Chief Kirby Whiteduck of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan, and signed a Memorandum of Understanding outlining a framework in which both parties will work together on key issues such as economic development, business opportunities, and skills development. Truly this was a historical event, bringing together two leaders, two communities and two friends to make a bright future for all residents across our fine county.” The banquet was a chance to thank Emon, the Reeve of the Town of Renfrew, for several dedicated years of service and for him to thank all those who supported him over four terms in the role. Among the guests were Emon’s wife Alanna, Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MPP John Yakabuski, Bonnechere Valley Mayor Jennifer
Murphy, who moved the warden’s nomination and Laurentian Hills Mayor John Reinwald, the seconder of Emon’s nomination. A key element in the accomplishments and highlights over the warden’s term, said Emon, is the importance of partnership. “My fellow county councillors and I realize that only through co-operation and partnership can we create the opportunities that benefit our communities the most. We may not always find ourselves in agreement on all the issues, but we always find a place of commonality, respect and that of strong partnerships,” said Emon. “So, reflect with me on these select few of many accomplishments that were made possible by partnerships over the past few years and remember together, we are all smarter, better and stronger.” Among the accomplishments and highlights Emon noted were: • partnering in initiatives at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories; • opening of the Deep River Paramedic Base Station and continued support of community paramedicine; • opening the 80 McGonigal Street Social Services building in Arnprior; • seeing the Eastern Ontario Regional Network achieve its goal of bringing reliable high-speed internet to 95 per cent of Eastern Ontario;
tion of the abandoned CP Rail Corridor and plans for a multiuse trail that will see a wide range of benefits realized across the 218 kilometers that is inside the county.

It was a terrible night, it was December, we’d been sworn in and it was the first if not the second week and I get a call and no matter what the weather, Peter Emon was coming to see me to bring me up to date and brief me on the issues from a county perspective,” said Lougheed. “Peter I can’t tell you how much that meant to me. It could have been a clear and beautiful evening, star-lit, and it would have meant the same but even more so because it was a terrible night for driving, it was stormy but it was important enough for you to meet me and to talk with me about the issues.” From there, said Lougheed, she had a clear picture of the partnership she would appreciate and enjoy with the warden. “What I saw in my short time working with you and knowing you is that you bring people together,” she said. Yakabuski said his role involves working closely with the county. “I’ve really enjoyed working with Peter, not only because he’s a really solid politician and warden, but he’s a hell of a nice guy,” said the MPP. “He also works extremely well with people.” He noted that members of the provincial cabinet know Emon by name. Emon is very diplomatic in the way he brings the county’s issues forward, added Yakabuski.

Lions announce education foundation at charter night ARNPRIOR LIONS CLUB
On Saturday, Oct. 15, the Arnprior Lions club hosted their 70th anniversary celebration at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior. In attendance were Lions members from dozens of Lions clubs within eastern Ontario and Quebec, along with local dignitaries and spouses from Arnprior and McNab Township. Past international director Lion Ernie Moore from the Perth Lions Club served as the guest speaker for the celebration. Lion Ernie and Lion Dave Voisey, master of ceremonies, kept the evening light with several jokes, which included humorous stories about many Lions members who were present. Several awards were presented to Lions members and members of the Arnprior Lionettes. An exciting announcement was made regarding the Arnprior Lions club Lions Centennial project coming up in 2017. It was announced that the Arnprior Lions club
is forming an Arnprior Lions Education Foundation, which will endeavour to provide scholarships to students from Arnprior and area who are proceeding to post secondary education. One scholarship that the foundation will provide will be in memory of Lion Doug Spaull who passed away this past spring. Lion Doug was a member of the club for over 64 years; he was a well known local optometrist and strongly committed to the Lions primary service of the blind and visually impaired. The Arnprior Lions look forward to having this foundation up and running during 2017 and will be looking for members of the public to serve on the board of directors. The first fundraiser for the education foundation is a raffle draw for a $3,000 travel voucher, and second prize of $1,000 cash to be drawn on Feb. 9, 2017. Tickets are available for $5 each from any Arnprior Lions member.

Cheryl Gallant, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP, with Renfrew Mayor Don Eady at a Building Canada Infrastructure project that was properly funded by the previous Conservative government.
MP, municipalities ask ‘Where`s the money?’ Government economic statement confirms high deficits policy a failure Municipalities are asking ‘Where`s the money?’ now that the Trudeau/Wynne Liberals have confirmed their deficit budget policy is pushing Canada towards a recession, says a press release from Gallant’s office. “In March municipalities were promised the funding from previous Conservative infrastructure programs that were stopped would be distributed with the federal gas tax transfers. Now we learn $858 million in infrastructure funding was allowed to lapse. Breaking election promises regarding the size of the deficit is one thing. Why promise infrastructure funding in the deficit budget and not deliver?” asks Gallant. “Municipalities liked the way our Conservative government ran the Federal Gas Tax Transfer because it was fair and predictable to all communities, rural as well as urban. Homeowners tell me they cannot afford any more increases to their property tax bill.” She went on to say: ““If the Trudeau/Wynne liberals are looking for things to renege on from their March deficit budget, they should scrap their plan to overtax family-run campgrounds. The Liberal economic plan has failed and Canadians are paying for it. Canadians are worse off today than they were a year ago. The Trudeau/ Wynne party is spending at record levels, but have not created one net full-time job since it
entered office.” Gallant said not only has the plan failed, Liberal tax hikes and red tape are making things worse. “First, they cancelled small business tax cuts. Now they are imposing a CPP tax hike and carbon tax that will cost families thousands of dollars every year,” said Gallant. “Internal documents from Finance Canada show that officials advised the Minister of Finance that an added payroll tax would reduce job growth. They introduced new rules on mortgages that will make it harder to buy a home. The Bank of Canada says that the government’s new housing rules will cost the economy $6 billion dollars by the end of 2018. It is no coincidence increases to the prime lending rate were announced to go along with the Fall Economic Update. Economists from TD Bank and BMO have publicly called on the government to halt any additional spending.” In conclusion, Gallant said: “The Liberals’ only solution to these problems seems to be to borrow and spend even more money - money that will have to be paid back by Canadian workers, families, and job creators. The Trudeau/ Wynne liberals promised Canadians that if they borrowed billions of dollars, it would create jobs and grow the economy. Now they’re full of excuses. Canadians must have missed the fine print.”

Arnprior Generating Station marks 40th anniversary DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
The youngest generating station in Eastern Ontario celebrated a milestone in October. Arnprior Generating Station, with its dam between Madawaska Lake and the Highway 417 bridge, recently marked 40 years in operation. It was the final station along the Madawaska River’s five-dam “cascade system” that uses gravity’s pull on water to create electricity. And with just two 41-megawatt generating units pumping energy to 82,000 homes, it is also one of the smallest. Security continues to grow post 9-11 at energy supply stations. However, just because Arnprior’s is the baby of the family doesn’t mean it isn’t well thought of. Jennifer Gardiner says commuters feel the presence of both the dam and its weir beneath the Madawaska bridge every day. The artificial waterfall is postcard-worthy. “It’s the first thing people see (related to Arnprior) when they cross the highway,” said Gardiner, who provided a guided tour of the site on Oct. 26. “People in town love that weir. They take photos of it.” Gardiner grew up in town, before taking public relations in her postsecondary career. She has seen photos The top of generating unit number 2 at the Arnprior station was built of construction back in 1976. She has two years after the first one. even spotted her father doing some of work on the $54-million project. Now she is a spokeswoman for Ontario Power Generation (OPG). “My father worked for Ontario Hydro when they were building it,” PHOTOS BY DEREK DUNN/METROLAND she said. “Actually, I did always think The three sluices allow excess water to pass by the station.

Engineer Scott Gagnon and OPG spokeswoman Jennifer Gardiner are at the headworks of the Arnprior Generating Station. They provided a guided tour of the facility during its 40th birthday.

OPG preaches safety near facilities Continued from page 16
No doubt the danger is real. OPG has spent millions of dollars on their Stay Clear, Stay Safe advertisements after two people washed away to their deaths during a controlled spill at Calabogie in 2002. Unprecedented charges against the company were eventually dropped and at least one law changed. Gardiner often mentions safety – both for the public and employees – as she strolls through the massive facility with engineer Scott Gagnon. When the picturesque aspect of the weir is mentioned, she added that it is deceptively dangerous. When water levels at the pond rise too high and flows pass under the 70-ft wall, it moves swiftly and silently to the weir that at the base creates a vortex. A human drowning would not take long. NATURE IN CONTROL
As Gagnon stands near the generating unit number 2, explaining how the water flows inside from the top, he stops to marvel for a moment. Engineers admire solutions involving as few components as possible. “It’s fairly simple and fairly robust technology,” he said. A dam raises water level in a river. When let into the facility, a massive turbine is turned by
Water trickles from beneath the generators. It will flow toward Madawaska Bridge.
Scott Gagnon stands just above the chamber of the first generating unit. Water enters and fills the gated-chambers on the floor. It forces the large turbine the force of falling water. The turbine turns a to circulate, creating electricity. generator. That tension creates energy, electricity, which shoots out along Hydro One transmission lines to homes and businesses. It is about focusing natural occurring energy. And it is much better for the environment than digging for coal, which OPG helped displace, making the province among the world’s most smog and greenhouse gas emissions-free jurisdictions. It’s not ugly in relation to climate change, but Arnprior Generating Station is pretty ugly to look at. There is no getting around it. The 1970s minimalist, concrete glorifying, behemoth is less than an architectural wonder. Still, it beats the prison-look that larger stations in the area were going for in the 1960s and earlier. Gardiner has an enviable job. She has a (undisclosed) budget from OPG to fund community groups and activities such as Arnprior’s Concerts in the Park and the Caitlin Stewart Memorial highland dance competition. That builds on goodwill. Fewer are aware of the municipal government’s hydro reserve fund, an ongoing pool of money that has been used to pay for various infrastructure projects. For 40 years now the generating station has “provided Arnprior with funding that it otherwise wouldn’t have been able to secure,” Gardiner said.

Yes, Virginia, polar bears do scramble, at Mountain Creek WENDY TESSIER Mountain Creek Golf Course
Imagine an Indian Summer day, a little windy, but contrails barely dissipating in the clear cloudless sky. Golfers congregate once a year at Mountain Creek to test their skills in the annual Polar Bear Pro/Am Scramble. A scramble, you say? It’s where all hit, the best of the four shots is chosen and all hit again from that point thus maximizing the best effort of the entire team until the ball is in the hole. Pro Jonathan Schaepper’s phone, many professional contacts, and advertising ensure that local area pros and low handicappers know they are welcome to come test their mettle. And respond they do! There are teams made up of friends, fathers and sons, coworkers, and fellow golfers of all ages. Each team was allowed one pro. Players hit from the tees reflecting their handicap; for example, those with less than 11 handicaps played from the blue tees set furthest back, and the sole woman player, again under 11 handicap, played from the green tees. But, as is often the case with golf, it’s anyone’s game when it’s the team’s gross score that matters. The teams guessed at the outset the winners would likely come in 16 or 17 under par so their goals were set as they started out. The strategy: stay under par. Birdy, birdy, birdy...eagle if you can. Volunteer markers independent of each team score each foursome, in a way becoming the group’s ‘conscience’ as they are there only to mark the score not to enforce the rules. RCGA rules governed all play except for some local scramble rules. It’s interesting how a fifth set of eyes keeps everyone honest but when you’re this good, you know all the rules! But the true reward
last to hit or putt and all are counting on your success. None were denigrated for a poor shot. As the game progressed and thirsts were slaked, so were the nerves and excitement but to the detriment of accuracy and judgement. As all 18 holes were finally completed, all came in to refreshing drinks, the bonhomie of a game well-played and a belly-stretching plate of lasagna, salad and garlic bread. Pro Graham Gunn’s team placed first with a 55 gross score or 15 under par. Tied for second were Team “Juice” led by Lucy (Juice) LeBlanc (the sole female player), and Team Gunn lead by Graham’s son, Jeff Gunn, also a PGA professional. Jeff’s team holed it out from the fairway on #18 to score 2 for an eagle! Google these winners’ names to understand just how good these players are!

Pritchard. This was no easy feat as certain holes were turned into par 6’s and some par 4s were made into par 5s by the repositioning of tees. Some par 3’s were made more difficult as the women had to hit from the men’s tees (always further back). Second place went to the persistent team of Bev Mackillop, Cindy Milito, and Ann Thompson who came in close behind with a 63. On the men’s side, there had to be a one hole playoff as two teams came in tied at -14. Shane Fagan’s team, comprising Greg and Zach Fagan and Bob Davis, played from the yellows (a different perspective for these longball hitters) for a gross 56. Second place was awarded to Eric Cormier, Sean Rousselle, Steve Murray and Jim Grenier. In the net class, the low score went to the team of Eric, Bryan, Al and Peter. Second place went to the team of Gregory, Randy, Frank and Neil. There were 4 eagles in the event: Team Fagan and Team Glahs both made eagles on hole 9. Team Cormier eagled hole 10 and Team Irons eagled hole 13. Amazing! Yes, the golf season is winding down but if the sun shines and the temps stay warm, do count on playing a few more rounds, and there are deals to be had on next year’s membership if you call the Pro Shop now, 613-6238919. All that fresh air, swinging, mental focus, walking and socializing is good for you! Do you know that golf helps with weight loss and weight maintenance? It helps you sleep better and experience less stress. It contributes to heart health, stronger bones and overall, increases your longevity! And if you add in the benefits derived from a post-game beer, you are in good shape!
Arnprior Packers split weekend games in CCHL2 action, host Tikis Nov. 11 TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
The onslaught started early and came often as the Arnprior Packers easily defeated the Prescott Flyers on Nov. 6 at home in the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2.
“I thought it would be a tighter game,” said Tony Iob, head coach. “They were missing some players and we were hitting on all cylinders.” It was a full team effort as the scoring came from multiple players. Daniel Monk and Gary Hicks both scored twice. Also scoring
for the Packers were Tyler Ollson, Adam Johnston, Mathew Labrosse, Jonathan Ready, Lucas Brown, Josh Bifolchi,Ben Sellars and Alex Campbell. On Friday, in Westport it was also a different game than what the Packers were expecting as they lost in overtime

Packers. This weekend the Packers host the Brockville Tikis at 7:30 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. On Saturday, Nov. 12 they head to Athens to face the Aeros at 7:30 p.m. The Packers are now in second place in the Richardson Division.

Undefeated teams
Alyx Caesar walks off a leg injury with a smile during her junior team’s 63-29 win over Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI). Both Arnprior District High School senior and junior girls teams went undefeated in regular season play this year. The juniors defeated St. Joseph’s 52-21. The seniors claimed a convincing 69-21 win over Opeongo High School. They survived a bit of a scare in game one of their best of three championship finals at RCI. The Renfrew squad out hustled and outworked the Arnprior ladies for much of the game. RCI jumped out to a 15-11 first quarter lead and led for most of the first three quarters of the game. However, Arnprior had a big 20-point fourth quarter to take the game 61-56. Katie McIntyre led all scorers with 24 points and Olivia McIntyre added 16 of her own. Sydney Friske had 13 points and hit two clutch free throws late in the game to seal the win. The ladies hope to sweep the league championship at home tonight. Tip off is at 3:30 p.m. with the juniors playing for their championship trophy at 5 p.m.

The second clinic will run from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. and is an advanced clinic for youth 13 years old and up. “I think it’s a unique experience,” said Lavallee. “Not only an Olympian but an Olympic champion.” She will also be talking about goal setting, motivation, self-image and running wrestling drills. They will be taking a group photo with participants that will be for sale afterwards. Autographed pictures with her will cost $10. Wiebe has visited the club before and coach Harry Smith knows her extremely well. “She’s an incredibly personable individual,” said Lavallee. “She can get right down to people’s levels. To be an Olympic champion you have to have skill and be able to deal with adversity.” Wiebe currently studies at the University of Calgary where she is pursuing a degree in kinesiology. Calgary is also where the Canadian Wrestling team trains. Lavallee notes she is very community-minded and recently travelled to Iqaluit, NU to work with local youth.

Wiebe, from Stittsville, will be hosting two different wrestling clinics on Nov. 13 at the Renfrew Recreation Centre (67 Argyle St. South) and will also be the guest of honour at a banquet that night at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

SHEPHERD, Frank A. In loving memory of Frank Shepherd who passed away November 9, 2015. We didn’t know that morning God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death you do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Love and miss you always, June and family

Cutting-edge technology in new hunting gear
Hunters will want to check out the latest innovations and gear on the market. Cutting-edge technology has been incorporated into these new products.
UNDER ARMOUR THERMAL COYOTE BOOTS
The Under Armour Thermal Coyote Boot is “the future of footwear,” according to Brad Fitzpatrick of Outdoor Life. The synthetic/ textile waterproof boot boasts an Anafoam stability chassis, and its Vibram IceTrek outsole will give hunters a reliable grip in all weather and terrain conditions. The columnist goes on to describe the boot’s key feature as being “a Gerbing heated liner with Bluetooth control that allows you to adjust the temperature in these boots with your smartphone.”
AMERISTEP WARLOCK BLIND
The Ameristep Warlock Blind is a 65” x 65” shelter that’s 72” high and can be easily and quickly set up.
According to Deer & Deer Hunting, it has a hightech Kryptek Highlander camo finish and a shell made from Ameristep’s NS3 carbon-enhanced fabric. NS3 stands for “no scent, no sheen, no sound.” The blind also features unique vertical windows for bow hunting, as well as shoot-through mesh windows with built-in gun ports. The perimeter of its roofline has brush loops for additional camouflage.
SPOT GEN3 SATELLITE GPS MESSENGER
Hunting may take you to exciting places that are well beyond the range of your cellphone. But Field & Stream says the Spot Gen3 tracker will allow your family and friends to track your movements on Google Maps. The rugged, pocket-sized, waterproof Spot Gen3 locator has both a check-in button to send messages and an SOS button to summon help from emergency responders. It also has an on-off switch with visual feedback and a USB port.

your dashboard and state the time you will return. • Don’t use tree stands if you’re tired, sick or on medication.
According to the IHEA, nearly all tree stand accidents could be prevented if two basic safety rules are followed: 1. Wear a full-body harness. 2. Stay connected to the tree from the time your feet leave the ground. It doesn’t matter if your tree stand is in Alberta or in Arkansas; safety should be your top priority. More tree stand safety tips include:
Hunting: the best tool for managing animal populations Apart from its recreational pleasures, hunting plays an important role in controlling animal populations, especially where rural and urban areas meet. This management role is very important considering that the natural landscape has changed dramatically since the early days of colonization. Indeed, the development of urban and agricultural zones has created favourable biological conditions for many animal species, to the point where many have become overpopulated.
tional benefits as well. • There is no cost attached to governments or to individual landowners who allow hunting. • Hunting quotas can be adjusted according to population size. • It creates significant economic benefits in all regions, including major urban centres. • No other method of animal population control is as effective as hunting.
• Check the specifications and guidelines on your harness and the expiration date stamp. • Wear the harness properly and wear the lineman’s belt. • Attach suspension trauma relief straps to your harness. They will prevent serious injury or death in case of a fall. • Use a well-designed and sturdily built tree stand approved by manufacturers. • Carefully inspect your tree stand for wear, rust, metal fatigue and cracks, loose or missing nuts or bolts, and rot and deterioration before and after each use. • Frequently practise using your tree stand and harness. • Always use a haul line for gear. • Unload your gun or bow before climbing or descending the stand. • Let hunters in your party know where your stand is located.

Valley motorist in Discovery Channel reality show Canada’s Worst Driver TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
Canada’s worst driver might just be from Renfrew. Mike Adrain, who has lived in Renfrew since 1997, is currently a contestant on season 12 of Canada’s Worst Driver on the Discovery Channel, which airs on Mondays at 10 p.m. Adrain wasn’t looking to become famous by participating in the show. “I did not do it for fame or fortune, I did this to help keep my family safe,” said Adrain. According to the show’s website: ‘The nominees for Canada’s Worst Driver tackle a series of driving challenges in the hope of getting their keys back and leaving the Driver Rehabilitation Centre.’ So how did Adrain become a nominee for the show? An old friend of his wife Christian, Craig Wright, got the process started. But since Wright doesn’t drive with him, Christian officially nominated Adrain for the show. His audition tape shows him driving around Arnprior, trying to park, hitting a large snow bank and the different dents on his truck. “Mike suffered brain damage when his car collided head on with a driver who fell asleep at the wheel,” explains the bio on the show’s website. “After years of rehabilitation he finally man-

Mike has hit over 30 objects in his truck: poles, curbs, fences, other cars, you name it.” He got his licence back about seven years ago and doesn’t like to talk about the incident that put him in the hospital for more than two-and-a-half years. “Mike lacks awareness of his surroundings –he often veers into the right side of the lane and has trouble
focusing on anything that isn’t directly in front of him,” the bio on the site continues. “His wife Christian thinks rehab is what Mike needs to be successful as he’s a danger to himself, their kids, and everyone else on the road.” He travelled to Welland for three weeks of filming, which included 16 hour days from sun up to sundown. But the long hours were all worth it.
“I wanted to be there because I needed the help. I was on the show with seven other people who needed more help than me!” said Adrain. “I learned a lot from the proper training on Canada’s Worst Driver. It was great.” Overall it was a good experience but he admits it was hard being on the show. “Nobody thinks they are a bad driver, but when it’s thrown in your
face you realize you need improvement,” said Adrain, who thinks his driving has drastically improved since being on the show. He thinks anyone who is a new driver needs to experience the training he had on the show. “The skill set I learned on the show improved my driving knowledge,” said Adrain. “It makes you a better driver because of what you learned.” On the first episode Cody Jensen was the first person who graduated from the show, which really struck something with Adrain. “He was a young individual who was a careless driver. He didn’t care about anyone but himself,” said Adrain. “Cody had fallen asleep at the wheel at a crazy speed. I let him have it, your action will let this happen to someone else.” He points out that all of the eight drivers on the show were there for different reasons, certain areas they needed to improve on. “I watch the show and I am like ‘Oh my God, these guys are bad’ but I had a different approach, for me I wanted to learn and improve,” said Adrain. One high point on the show was getting to drive a Mustang. “It was a sweet ride, it was brand new!” As to who wins, Adrain is staying tight lipped. “I’m going to watch Monday nights at 10 p.m. on Discovery just like everyone else.”

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND
Well known hockey goaltender and coach Jerry Armstrong is also a guitar-playing country singer. That may come as a surprise to many around the rink, largely because he doesn’t do many gigs. At this one, inside Sand Point Golf Course’s Greenside Tavern, he agreed to play for a small group of friends to celebrate a birthday.
On Thursday, Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m., the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) will host the third presentation of the season, which reflects the theme ‘Wild creature closeUps.’ This event will take place in the Social Hall of Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin St., in Almonte. For those who have imagined creating a backyard sanctuary for birds, or for the fortunate folks who already share their space with these beautiful feathered beings, our creativity and the necessary knowledge needed for such a project will be enhanced by an expert on the subject, Cliff Bennett. He has entitled his presentation ‘Birds in your backyard.’ Bennett is one of the founding members of MVFN and the past-president of our organization. Among the many contributions that he has made and continues to make to the community, Cliff is the author of a birding column for the Lanark Era. Imagine for a moment the peace and contentment to be enjoyed within a quiet backyard or balcony space that you have designed to attract and shelter the birds native to your area. Perhaps you will welcome an occasional feathered visitor from other parts, who has stopped to rest awhile and share your outdoor haven. In the still of a warm summer morning, you step outside onto your sheltered patio to listen to
the first calls of a song sparrow who sits on the branch of a tree on the other side of the garden. The steam from your coffee rises into the air and you breathe in the fragrance of the trees and flowers that surround you, which you have chosen because they provide food and shelter for your feathered friends. You are enchanted by the gentle rustling sounds of birds as they weave amongst the foliage on the ground, seeking seeds or insects to whet their appetites. Months later, in the winter garden, white with a dusting of fresh snow, you watch flashes of colour dart to and from the feeders laden with fresh seeds. And suddenly, you are in awe as a dazzling, red cardinal alights on the feeder, his brilliant colour in stark contrast to the snowflakes that silently fall from the dull, gray sky. You pause for awhile, contented and energized by an awareness of life in this little piece of wilderness you have built. Bennett is an expert birder, and with his vast knowledge and experience, will expand upon a wide array of topics concerning birds, with a focus on the bird life to be found in our back yards. He will explain how to set up and maintain an active bird sanctuary and other items. Please join us for this very interesting and informative presentation. A discussion and refreshments will follow. There is a non-member fee of $5. There is no charge for MVFN members and youth 18 years and under. For info contact Gretta Bradley at glbradley@icloud.com.

Ticks and Lyme disease in Renfrew County focus of talk JANE DE SNAIJER Burnstown Women’s Institute
The Burnstown Women’s Institute (WI) hosted a public seminar on Thursday, Oct. 13 and about 40 people learned about ticks and Lyme disease in Renfrew County. Greg Kirk, the co-ordinator for environmental health for Renfrew County’s District Health Unit, talked about how a tick bite affects humans while Dr. Stephanie Clarke , veterinarian and partner in The Renfrew Animal Hospital, answered many questions about ticks and dogs and cats. Kirk provided statistics to support the fact that ticks are on the increase in Renfrew County. He talked about a process called ‘dragging’ whereby various areas in Renfrew County are tested for tick presence. It is the blacklegged tick (also called deer tick) that transmits Lyme disease. A tick must be infected by the bacteria causing Lyme disease in order to pass it on to
you. If a human is bitten by any tick, he recommended that it be removed without crushing, preferably with a tick remover, and that the bite site be disinfected with soap and water or rubbing alcohol. The tick should then be saved in a jar and taken to the county health unit either in Pembroke or Renfrew for analysis. Watch the bite area carefully for the appearance of a rash and visit your doctor at once if it appears. Early detection and treatment is important. Dr. Clarke thoroughly answered many, many questions from the floor about our animals and provided the actual tick removers, with instructions as handouts. She brought jars, which contained various sized sample ticks, which had been removed from animals over the past year, for us to look at. She confirmed that ticks are most active in the spring and early summer, and again in the late summer and fall. They abound in woodlands, long grass, and wet environment. The information shared this evening was very worthwhile for those of us who have pets and live in the country.

OPINION
Student well-being focus of new initiatives at RCCDSB RENFREW COUNTY CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
With initiatives including day-long wellness events, a magic show and buddy benches, the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board (RCCDSB) is putting a special focus on student well-being this year. The alignment of the board’s focus with the Ministry of Education’s recent release of its Well-Being Strategy for Education, which calls well-being fundamental to student success, is heartwarming, says Mark Searson, a superintendent of education at RCCDSB. “Both our initiatives and the new provincial strategy align with our RCCDSB Vision, where we strive to nurture the giftedness, self-worth and potential of each individual while sustaining safe school environments characterized by warmth, hospitality, good humour and joy,” added Searson. In October, the board held a fullday event at Shaw Woods Outdoor
Education Centre to help Grade 8 students prepare for the transition to high school. Reach Out 2016 included leadership activities, games and discussions. Grade 11 students provided mentorship to the younger students. The program was led by Tammy Peplinski, school and attendance counsellor, and Sandy Brannan, Safe Schools co-ordinator, with help from Rick Klatt, RCCDSB’s outdoor education and student engagement teacher. Several community partners also attended, including chaplains, and representatives from Children’s Services, Addiction Treatment Services, Elevate Youth Fitness Studio and other groups, to discuss how they could support students as they navigate high school. “Our goal is to create environments that support and promote wellness of body, mind and spirit,” said Brannan. “Initiatives like these are critically important. “Being well is an important part
of student success. We want our students to know there are places to go for help when they are needed by them or someone they love.” Another wellness initiative, said Brannan, is restorative practice training and support for teachers who want to build a restorative culture in their classrooms. Students in classrooms with restorative practices feel more confident, heard and connected, she added. Buddy benches, built by RCCDSB’s high school shop students, also are being distributed to elementary schools, Brannan said. “They are a simple way to help eliminate loneliness and foster friendship on the school yard. What a beautiful opportunity to promote inclusion and kindness!” Rebecca Paulsen, RCCDSB Mental Health and Wellness Lead, points to several other wellness initiatives under way this year. An event called AMPLIFY was held in early October at Wilderness Tours, Paulsen said. It
focused on connecting youth to their community, amplifying their voices and giving back to the community by volunteer work or joining groups. Thirty grade 10 and 11 students from RCCDSB attended the event. Grade 8 students at St. Joseph’s high school in Renfrew also are taking weekly sessions on mental health and wellness in a five-week program based on a curriculum created by the Eastern Ontario Catholic Curriculum Corporation. The Phoenix Centre trauma team also is offering a workshop for teachers on the ‘Trauma informed classroom’” With one teacher from each school attending, Paulsen said, the board “continues to build capacity around mental health throughout the school system.” An anti-bullying magic show also was recently presented at Our Lady of Fatima School in Renfrew and St. Michael’s School in Douglas. And two new resources have been added to support the board’s most vulnerable
students, Paulsen said. The RCCDSB now has access to Urgent Care from the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, which will allow appointments to be made with medical experts for those students in need. The Renfrew County Community Mental Health Centre also has agreed to support students aged 12 and up with their mobile crisis unit. “Focusing on well-being in the school system is really about building healthy skills that last a lifetime,” Paulsen said. “It`s investing in a child’s future, because well-being is about their mental and physical wellbeing as well as their faith journey. When teachers incorporate Christian meditation into their classrooms, they know that there are valuable learning side benefits,” Paulsen added. “Likewise, when teachers can gain valuable insight from community mental health agencies on traumainformed schools, they are able to support every student in their optimal learning environment.”
Maude Barlow speaks in Renfrew Nov. 17 at Need to Know speaker series The Need to Know speaker series will kick off Nov. 17 in Renfrew with speakers Maude Barlow and Daniel CayleyDaoust. The event, which is being co-hosted by the Bonnechere River Watershed Project and the Mississippi Mills chapter of the Council of Canadians, is set for Nov. 17 from 7-9 p.m. at the
O’Brien Theatre in Renfrew. The topic is ‘Energy East Pipeline - Our Risk, Their Reward.’ “The presentation will essentially outline why this project should not proceed,” says an event press release. “In addition, Maude will have her latest book ‘Boiling Point’ available and will remain on hand to sign copies after the pre-
sentation.” Everyone is welcome to mix and mingle at Coco Jarry’s restaurant after the session. Cost to attend the speaking event is $15 and tickets are currently available at the O’Brien Theatre in Renfrew at 334 Raglan St. South.

Festival of Trees Snowflake Gala Nov. 19 in Petawawa The fifth annual Festival of Trees Snowflake Gala is taking place Nov. 19 at The Petawawa Civic Centre. “It’s going to be a lot of fun (magical). Last year, we raised over $31,000!” says an event press release. “This funding is all used to help local children in need.” The beneficiary of the dance is the Children’s Poverty Action Network (CPAN). Here is a quick snapshot of what you can expect at this year’s event: • Guests arrive for the gala and can view beautifully decorated trees and wreaths while listening to the woodwind quintet Zephyr • Once upstairs can look around the silent auction room and maybe make a few bids (Christmas present time) • Enjoy a delicious dinner catered by Ullrich’s • Dance the night away to the band Reckless and DJ Max Gower (Maximum EVENTertainment) • Bid on larger items during the
live auction (Dai Bassett is the auctioneer.. and he is FUNNY) • Have pictures taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus (alone or as a group) or go to the photo booth (yes like an old fashioned selfie!) The online auction is already running. See whats up for bids at: www.facebook.com/festivaloftreesauction “All this fun and helping local children in need as well,” says the release. Tickets are available at CPAN, just $60 each (no price increase in five years). This year organizers are offering tables of 6 for $330 (works out at $55 each) or table of 12 for $600 (works out at $50 each). “The event is great for get togethers with family, friends or for a Christmas party. No prep, no clean up, just come and have fun!” Tickets available at: Ashley Homestore Select, CPAN, Custom Draperies and online at: http://renfrewcountycpan.ca/ festival-of-trees/ .
Cecil has his few minutes of fame Mother thought that Miss Crosby, our teacher at the Northcote school, should be made a saint when she passed. But that couldn’t happen, my sister Audrey said, because she wasn’t a Catholic. That morning, as always, she was ready to read a verse from the Bible, have us sing God Save the King, and say a prayer, which she wrote herself. She stood erect at her desk, wearing the same printed dress she wore every day, with a starched white collar and cuffs, which she changed every few days. She favoured the Beatitudes, and had only been reading a couple minutes, paused to take a breath, and a loud cracking could be heard all over the school. Cecil had done it again! He had this talent of cracking his toes when he was wearing his gum-rubbers, and when he wasn’t wearing stockings, which was usually the case. The noise echoed in

She raised her head from her folded arms, and she wasn’t crying, she was overcome with fits of laughter. It wasn’t the first time Cecil had cracked his toes at the Northcote School, but it was the first time Miss Crosby had sent him to the stool. Never one to miss an opportunity to give the school a chance to learn something, she ordered Cecil to take off his gum rubbers and show everyone how he was able to crack his toes. Well, there he sat, folded on the stool, with his bare feet stretched out before him, and try as he might, he couldn’t muster up one crack! We all sat in utter silence waiting. Nothing happened. The morning was wearing on, and Miss Crosby wisely decided to bring things back to order. At recess outside, everyone gathered around Cecil like he was the mayor of Renfrew. He loved being on centre stage and went on to explain this amazing feat. The reason he couldn’t perform for Miss Crosby, he said, was because he could only crack his toes inside his gum rubbers. And there he on the school ARNPRIOR sat steps, cracking his toes inside his gum rubbers, enjoying his few minutes of fame at the Northcote School, before Miss Crosby appeared at the door with the big brass bell.
