The peace along the Mississippi River was shattered on a beautiful autumn morning on Oct. 16 when shots rang out only metres from Jeannie .COM Dorion’s backyard, killing her two pet geese bathing along the water’s edge. That morning began like any other with Dorion’s pet Embden geese, Sam and Sara, greeting her as she released them from their pen before they waddled down to the river for their ritual morning swim. She didn’t think anything of the canoe that came travelling up the river – a common enough sight in the area – as she continued her morning feedings of her other animals. But the canoe began to circle her geese, setting off “alarm bells,� said Dorion. “I saw him circling around the geese. I headed off to the river as fast as I could, yelling and screaming at him ‘No, no, no!’� The man, dressed in hunter’s garb, raised a shotgun. “I was too late; I heard the shot.�

A new elementary school will be built in town. The provincial Ministry of Education announced $498 million in funding to build and renovate schools, and the Conseil des ĂŠcoles catholiques du CentreEst (CECCE) confirmed that included funding for a new French Catholic school in Arnprior for 250 students. The school is scheduled to open in August 2017. The new school will make French Catholic education available to students who currently do not have access to a French school in this region. The closest French Catholic elementary school, SaintRĂŠmi in Kanata, is nearly 50 kilometres away from Arnprior. Because SaintRĂŠmi is so far away, only 18 students from the Arnprior region attend the school even though more than 265 children in the area have the constitutional right to French Catholic education. The CECCE is also planning to include a daycare for 36 children at the new school. CECCE Chair Denis Poirier was delighted with the announcement.

Jeannie Dorion, who lives near the border of West Carleton and Arnprior, lost her pet geese after a hunter shot them while they were bathing in the Mississippi River late last month. She says no one should have been shooting at anything so close to homes. *** Dorion, 75, has lived along the river on the border of West Carleton and Arnprior for almost 40 years. She and her husband have had
a number of pet geese over the years. When her husband passed away, Dorion decided that Sam and Sara would be her last pair, but she expect-

French school’s location not decided Continued from page 1
“The Conseil des écoles catholiques du CentreEst is pleased that it can build a new school in the Arnprior region,” he said in a press release. “Families will have access to a school right in their community and will no longer have to travel so far to get French Catholic education for their children. Along with the JK-8 school, the daycare will enhance the services available to meet families’ needs.” The CECCE is planning to buy a six-acre parcel of land to build the school. The board hasn’t revealed the exact location. Town planner Robin Smith said it could go in several locations. And because it is a public entity, it could be granted exemptions in the name of a public good. She wouldn’t name specific locations because the board is currently in negotiations with one property owner. There is no word yet on possible names for the school, either. The community will have an opportunity to participate in public consultations related to the catchment area for the new school. Mayor David Reid, at a council meeting hours after the Nov. 9 announcement, said
the board considers Arnprior a “hub” and that home sellers could benefit. With the Department of National Defence moving into the former Nortel Campus in Bells Corners, he said, some members of its large francophone workforce will consider living in Arnprior now that a French school is coming. MAYOR WELCOMES SCHOOL
“We’d like to welcome them to the community. It’s nice to see Arnprior considered as a hub,” Reid said. “This could be some positive news for developers in town.” The students who will attend this new school and their parents can take pride in being the founders of this new school community, said Rejean Sirois, CECCE director of education. “The students will benefit from an excellent Catholic education in French that will give them the gift of lifelong bilingualism and inspire them to follow their dreams,” Sirois said. With 22,000 students in 41 elementary schools, 11 secondary schools, and its school for adults, the CECCE is the largest Canadian network of French language schools outside Quebec.
Town explores options to clean up vacant properties derek.dunn@metroland.com
The municipality wants to see three vacant properties in Arnprior cleaned up and converted into tax revenue generators. Called brownfields because past industrial or commercial uses likely left contamination behind, the three owe $791,000 in taxes and interest. “In addition to the environmental conditions, each site also owes a significant sum of outstanding taxes,” reads Deanna Streifel’s report at the Oct. 13 council meeting. “When a property has more than three years’ worth of taxes owing, the town may start the tax sale process, in an attempt to recover the outstanding taxes owned.” Streifel, the town’s environmental engineering officer, told council that one of the three failed the tax sale two times in the past (developers may have decided the clean-up costs were too high, even for a property selling for just the taxes owing). The other two could be up for tax sale next May. The property that failed to sell in 2011 and 2013 is at 25 Daniel St. North., near Legion Branch 174. About $226,000 is owed on that site. The site was a fuel service station for more than 60 years, until about 2002. The province ordered underground tanks and piping to be removed, and
an assessment done on potential petroleum contamination in the soil both on- and offsite. The orders have yet to be followed. “The owner of a site that is no longer operating has little incentive to comply with an order since they no longer rely on the (government) to provide licensing for daily operations,” Streifel explained, adding that it will require an environmental site assessment before any building can take place. That is also true for the 3036 McGonigal St. West site, a former fuel service station for more than 20 years. The business closed in the late 1970s or 1980s, and was Ken’s Kitchen until a few years ago. (A home on the site also burned down a few years ago.) It owes about $53,700. “This property has not been placed under tax sale previously,” Streifel said. “However, town staff is aware that there was some previous interest in the property from a developer.” Tax sale attempts in 2011 and 2013 resulted in no bids at 130 Staye Court Dr. A long dissolved corporation is the registered owner, but has been forfeited to the provincial government. The town asked the province in July about the status, but has yet to hear back. About $511,000 is owned on that property. The town asked the Ministry of Environment and Climate
purchasing a tax sale property may be dissuaded by the potential unknown remediation costs.” Remediation costs range from $10,000 to $1 million or more. Staff suggested council give the OK to provide financial incentives to potential developers. Three strategies could be undertaken: • Reduce the taxes owing to three years. If that fails, the town could pay for some or all of the environmental assessment work needed; • The town commits to “supporting” the developer with tax forgiveness incentives and low interest loans on remediation costs; • Make the surrounding neighbourhood more desirable, thereby increasing property values. The town can complete the first two phases of an environmental assessment on the failed tax sale properties, and likely get a grant.

This site at 30-36 McGonigal St. West owes about $53,000 in back taxes. The town is considering forgiving a portion or paying for any clean-up in a bid to win over a developer who would rebuild and generate taxes for the municipality. Change (MOE) for remediation help, in the name of cleaning up contaminated sites. “Little can be done under the MOE’s jurisdiction to facilitate the town’s desire for site remediation without evidence that there is contamination migrating off site or that there is an immediate danger to human or environmental health,” reads the report. Staff didn’t find soil or groundwater contamination at the McGonigal site while road work was being done on the street recently. None is known to have seeped off site at Daniel, either. But when it comes to Staye
Court, there is historical evidence that contamination has left the site; MOE will look into it. Striefel told council about the challenges the town faces in selling the properties.
“The sale price that each of the properties will need to be set at to recover all of the unpaid taxes to date would likely be more than the properties are worth. Developers that may have traditionally considered

John Street between Madawaska to William (including new storm sewer and outlet on Madawaska) will be worked on next year. The improvements to Elgin Street will likely be tackled in 2017 and the rest of McGonigal will probably be worked on both in 2016 and 2017.

One person at the open house asked about the timeline for the construction that will eventually block access to downtown premises. Webster said that any blockages to individual doors will be a couple of days at most. It wouldn’t take weeks or months. The contractor will be required to leave 1.5 metres of ‘hard’ walking space as long as possible too. Overall, there is still time for to finalize some of the details. “There will be a lot more communication for a project like this,” said Webster. “There needs to be patience.

Town could cancel back taxes on brownfields The grant would be from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities covering up to half the costs of the second phase. The first phase will cost about $5,000. The second can range from $15,000 to $30,000. However, that will give potential developers a much better idea of how much it will cost to clean up the sites. Striefel said it is in the town’s economic interest to return the sites to generating taxes. Council could write off more than $144,000 for Daniel. Because Staye Court is owned by the province, it could see as much as $421,700 written off. Mayor David Reid said the current owners of the properties are not necessarily the ones who

This site at 25 Daniel St. owes about $226,000 in back taxes. Former gas stations often fall into “brownfield” status because they could have contaminated the soil with gasoline. owe all the taxes. Changes in legislation related to environmental concerns after they owned the properties play a role. Another is the blindsiding of gas station
owners by the large petroleum companies when they offered to sell the fuel tanks and equipment for very little money, thus transferring their environmental
liability to the gas station owners. “This is a very complex issue and could take a couple of weeks for council to digest,” he said. “The back taxes owned are not necessarily owed by the current owners. Sometimes there are circumstances beyond their control. He suggested the town be certain about mitigating its own risk when it comes to clean-up, but that it is important something be done. “These are really, really key properties in visible parts of town.” Reeve Walter Stack said until the province decides to help or not, the matter should be deferred. Council voted to defer any decisions until a later meeting.

“pooches & kitties” anti-Inflammatories
Today, I’ve decided to tell you about a personal story, sharing my experience on how effective Heilkunst is in treating our “pooches and kitties”. Ninety-nine percent of my clients are of course humans, but there is this one percent of human’s, who swear by having their pets treated. Some out of personal conviction of believing in Heilkunst and Homeopathy, others out of cheer despair to find an alternative to the conventional veterinary approach. Funny enough, there are still some people out there that question the efficacy of Heilkunst and Homeopathy, insinuating that it’s all in our minds and merely a placebo effect. Needless to say that these statements are generally coming from people who’ve never experienced the professional application of homeopathic remedies. I understand, seeing is believing! And what we can’t perceive in our minds is not worth anything, right? Well think about the air. We can’t see nor sense air, nevertheless it’s real! What about emotions and feelings? We all know how well we can hide them! We’ve all done that! But that doesn’t mean they are not there, nor does it mean they are not real! Albeit, sometimes we wish so, it sure would make our lives easier at times. There are processes we may not see nor understand, however that doesn’t mean they are not real or effective. Our homeopathic remedies are one of them. If you still frown upon this, please conquer the question: “How can animals and infants respond to homeopathic remedies without having a conscious mind to think it’s good for them?” Recently, I had a friend visit with his beautiful and energetic young border collie. “Luna”, my three year old yellow lab, still behaving like a pup and full of piss and vinegar…pardon my french…could not get enough of this play date. The next day, she was done! Sleeping and recuperating all day! Next morning she couldn’t get up, her hind end totally incapacitated. OMG, I thought her hip was dislocated or that she had a fracture. Off to the vet we go! I literally had to carry her into the car.The vet checked her thoroughly. All was ok.Yet she couldn’t walk. She recommended some antiinflammatory and I said I’ll try my homeopathic remedies first, knowing that nothing more severe was at hand.The vet was fine with that. Believe it or not…within six hours Luna was back to normal. Night and day! From a total crippled dog to the powerful playful lab she always has been in only a matter of hours!

Arnprior council votes to raise water bills Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The plan to escalate water-related bills to cover lifecycle costs found unanimous approval at Monday’s town council meeting. Arnprior’s local legislators agreed to let water and wastewater bills rise an extra $2.50 per month or $30 annually. That is not per person, but per residential account. The town’s top bureaucrat, chief administrative officer Michael Wildman, said the plan should prevent any sharp spikes in cost that may come about because of infrastructure failures or replacements. He added that the plan is not just for 10

Grants possible
Mayor David Reid repeated his comments from a previous meeting that grants from higher levels of government could reduce the costs to ratepayers; the plan or “living document” responsible for the increases must be reviewed every five years but could be looked at annually; and council has a legal responsibility (following the Walkerton
tragedy) to ensure safe water. “We are not here to try to take one cent more than needed,” Reid said. “The plants must be in great working condition. And if there are grants, staff would make the necessary adjustments.” Members of council indicated at a previous meeting that residents could be upset with the increase. The memory of a widespread water-billing fiasco in the past might block some from seeing this new strategy as anything but a tax grab. But on recorded vote – meaning each member was forced to verbally say yes or no – all members voted in favour. Only Reeve Walter Stack was absent.
OPP costs down by $14 per town household Staff
The OPP annual billing statement was made public recently, with Arnprior due to pay almost $1.64 million next year. The cost includes base service to just over 4,000 properties, plus calls for service, overtime and more. That is a reduction of

the Town of Arnprior and the area communities.” Officials say bus service has for generations provided many residents across the county with the opportunity to travel to other communities within Renfrew County, Ottawa and Eastern Ontario for medical, family and business appointments. “The same-day travel, when there was a more fulsome route time selection offered, made it a convenience worth considering and supporting,” says the resolution. “A number of smaller businesses and even some of our larger businesses utilized the parcel/document pick-up and drop-off as it often was one day or overnight service.” Emon and Pembroke Mayor Michael Lemay have suggested Greyhound officials consider participating in a series of meetings in the affected communities to introduce the company to a number of community members whose demographic might utilize improved service. “I would suggest the hospitals, Ontario Disability and Ontario Works staff, some of the seniors groups and home support organizations, probation services and child protec-
tion,” said Emon. “These are all groups which may have a potential greater utilization of the service ... There are medical and social service supports which might consider services in other adjoining communities if their clientele can cope/utilize the bus system with a better schedule.”

A resolution asking Greyhound Canada to add bus routes in the Deep River to Ottawa corridor is gaining support from local municipalities. McNab-Braeside council has joined Horton and Renfrew in supporting the motion proposed by the County of Renfrew and City of Pembroke to begin discussions with Greyhound Canada in an attempt to have the bus company add more bus routes in the Ottawa-to-Deep River corridor. The resolution also asks Greyhound to market the benefits of bus travel to Valley residents. The motion of support was successfully made by Coun. Heather Lang and seconded by Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden at council’s Oct. 20 meeting. Both Renfrew and Horton townships have also lent support to the efforts to improve bus service in the Valley. With just one bus per day departing Pembroke in the wee hours of the morning and making its way to Ottawa, options are limited for those wishing to use the service.
“The present time slot the bus service is offered is problematic and we feel has likely caused bus service to be underutilized by visitors, residents, employees, day travellers and our local business community,” says the resolution. “A review of ideal travelling times and marketing the service my result in an increase in the overall usage of bus service.” Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon has reached out to Greyhound Canada area manager Daniel Voisine. “As a long-time resident of the community and a social worker employed by the local Child Protection Agency and also by one of the local hospitals, I can attest to the hardship the 5:15 a.m. departure in Pembroke and the single bus is causing residents of Pembroke and the surrounding communities,” Emon said in a letter to Greyhound. “I would also respectfully suggest to you the single bus with a very early start is having a detrimental effect on the residents of the Town of Deep River and area community, the Town of Petawawa and area community, the Village of Cobden and area, the Town of Renfrew and area community and

Don’t let bus service die G
reyhound bus service in the Valley is in danger of going the way of rail travel. The significant reduction in Greyhound buses up and down the Valley has riders and municipal officials worried that the company is in the process of phasing out the service altogether so it can concentrate on more lucrative routes between large urban centres. If that is the case, it would be a shame. At one time people in Arnprior, Renfrew, Cobden and beyond could rely on the bus to get to and from Ottawa and Pembroke (where several Renfrew County services are headquartered), as well as travel between the smaller communities in the Valley, both along highways 17 and 60. That mode of travel became even more important when railway passenger service died many years ago. However, that means of travel has become much less convenient with shifting bus schedules and reduced service. The last straw was a change in September that sees only one bus a day go up and down the Valley. Gone are the days that someone could bus into the city or up to Pembroke at a decent time and come back the same day. It’s also very difficult for students to use the bus to come home
on weekends from college or university. As usual, it’s the most vulnerable who suffer the most from the lack of bus service. The provincial government takes our gas tax money and allocates it to rapid transit to discourage use of cars and reduce emissions. Yet, people and politicians in the rural areas rightly argue that in areas without transit, the money should go toward roads and bridges. If we lose our only bus service too, the gas tax situation really becomes unfair. Greyhound and the upper levels of government should listen to the appeals from the public and pay attention to the resolution from Renfrew County and the City of Pembroke, now endorsed by most local municipalities. Reeve Peter Emon has a good idea. Greyhound should participate in community meetings to hear first-hand how their changes are affecting customers in the Valley. Perhaps they could gain some ideas on how to enhance their business instead of running it into the ground. A little convenience when it goes to setting routes and times would go a long way in rebuilding ridership. If not, then end the monopoly and let someone run else run the bus service through the Valley.
Cat suffered terribly because of driver’s callousness To the Editor: To the cowardly ‘person’ who delivered a mortal wound with their vehicle to my poor wee cat on River Road on what was a bright beautiful sunny Sunday (Nov. 8) afternoon - - she was still alive! Her name was Ruby and she had just turned nine last week. We do not know how long Ruby was laying there on the road bleeding, suffering, crying for her family, because you did not have the decency
to stop and say something. You should know we loved Ruby. My little brother named her when he was very young after one of his favourite shows. The two of them have always had a special bond, Ruby slept on his bed almost every night. Ruby’s big heart, and unconditional love for all of us helped make bad days bearable. And now, because of you, we have to live with the fact that Ruby suffered terribly

Drivers ignore right-of-way rules Cancer patients shouldn’t To the Editor: Arnprior drivers apparently do not bother to study the highway traffic act – rules or amendments. The page (see below) from the MTO website lists rules for drivers at intersections and how they must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians “if they are in or approaching your path to cross.” An average intelligence would interpret this to mean stop if a pedestrian is in the crosswalk. At no place in the highway traffic act does it say it is ok to cut in front of pedestrians in the crosswalk or creep your car up close to them to make them hurry. Brand new lights at the corner of John Street and Madawaska Street now feature left turn arrows for the two busiest vehicle turns, which hopefully will keep pedestrian crossings and car crossing separated by a few seconds at least. Regardless, drivers need to take more care in allowing humans to cross the street safely. They need to learn to turn their heads and scan before turning the wheel. I spent some time in downtown
Montreal as a walking tourist last year and felt safer among thousands of vehicles at Friday rush hour than on any day in downtown Arnprior; the drivers of Montreal come to a dead stop when pedestrian crossing lights come on, and cars don’t move until the last straggler is all the way across. Truly scared. Andrea Barton Arnprior Yielding the right-of-way There are times when you must yield the right-of-way. This means you must let another driver go first. Here are some rules about when you must yield the right-of-way. At an intersection without signs or lights, you must yield the rightof-way to a vehicle approaching the intersection before you, and if you arrive at the same time, the vehicle approaching from the right has the right-of-way. At an intersection with stop signs at all corners, you must yield the right-of-way to the first vehicle to come to a complete stop. If two
vehicles stop at the same time, the vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right. At any intersection where you want to turn left or right, you must yield the right-of-way. If you are turning left, you must wait for approaching traffic to pass or turn ‘and for pedestrians in or approaching your path to cross’. If you are turning right, you must wait for pedestrians to cross if they are in or approaching your path. A yield sign means you must slow down or stop if necessary and yield the right-of-way to traffic in the intersection or on the intersecting road. When entering a road from a private road or driveway, you must yield to vehicles on the road and pedestrians on the sidewalk. You must yield the right-of-way and wait for pedestrians to completely cross the road at specially marked pedestrian crossings or crossovers and school crossings with crossing guards. Remember, signaling does not give you the right-of-way. You must make sure the way is clear.
be forced to go so far To the Editor:
That new unit to be built at the General Campus is just one more example of health care being made more remote and difficult for woman west of centre to access. Ask any woman who has had a female cancer how it feels to drive by two or more hospitals in order to get chemo, radiation or even a basic follow-up at the General. Especially when we have an underutilized /funded cancer centre at the QCH. That centre is operated by the Ottawa Hospital and should be given equal facilities and staff for all but specialty cancers. It is a crime and we in the west are being robbed. Every time ‘the three
campuses’ are merged it takes us further from health care. It is about time we stopped the exodus and demanded our fair share of health care facilities. And it is not just women’s cancers. The kidney cancer I had treated at the Civic is now being treated at the General … prostate cancers go there as often as not. A 90-year-old in a seniors building five minutes from the QCH had to go to the General for routine radiation, no explanation giving. And his wasn’t a level 3 or 4. I hope everyone who reads this will also speak up. And put your money where your body is, closer to home. Sue Prior West Carleton

Sacrifice of Arnprior soldiers memorialized on cenotaph Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The number 70 has already been honoured on many occasions in 2015. Seventy represents how many years since the end of the Second World War. More than 45,000 Canadians were lost during that conflict. There are 84 of those lives from Arnprior, marked on the cenotaph in front of the hospital. On Remembrance Day Nov. 11 all are honoured. Here is some information on just a few. BAKER
The first two names listed at the top of the Arnprior memorial are Joseph and Thomas Baker – they were brothers, according to the Library and Archives Canada database. Joseph Kenneth Baker was born on Aug. 2, 1921.Thomas Lloyd came later on Sept. 16, 1923. The two were the sons of Alfred Joseph and Martha Elizabeth Baker of Arnprior. Joseph was only 20 when the war ended for him. He had been a flight sergeant with the Royal Canadian
Air Force. The website for Aircraft Safety Network indicates Joseph’s plane was involved in the bombing of Hamburg, Germany and was shot down on July 27, 1942. Of the crew of seven, Joseph was one of three fatalities and he is buried in the Sage War cemetery. Thomas also enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and earned the rank of pilot officer. He survived until Aug 17, 1944, which would have been almost a month shy of his 21st birthday. His plane apparently crashed into the sea and everybody on board perished. Thomas is buried in the Kiel War cemetery. He is not the only Thomas Baker remembered on a cenotaph. Thomas is also on the Halifax, Nova Scotia memorial erected in Point Pleasant Park. Twenty-four ships were lost by the Royal Canadian Navy in the Second World War and nearly 2,000 members of the RCN lost their lives. The memorial bears 23 bronze panels upon which are inscribed the names of over 3,000 Canadian men and women who have unknown graves. MCBRIDE
URBAN SPORT HAS THE LARGEST ATV & SNOWMOBILE INVENTORY IN EASTERN CANADA!!! AND THEY ARE ALL PRICED TO MOVE!!!
YADE
The last name listed on the cenotaph under the Second World War II is John Yade or John William Herman Yade, son of William G. and Luella Yade of Arnprior. He is also one of the many names on the Halifax Memorial. Yade, an Ordinary Seaman, served on the S.S Empire Engineer. In the late afternoon of Feb. 4, 1941, the Empire Engineer was hit by one G7e torpedo from the German U-boat123 and sank within four minutes. All on board died. Dates of the event are contradictory in Internet searches. While the Library and Archives Canada says Wade died on Feb. 2, 1941, other Second World War timelines claim the Empire Engineer sank on Feb. 4. Regardless of the specific date, Yade was only 19. R0013526399.1105
One name that stands out on the Arnprior cenotaph is Mona McBride – the most recognizable female
of the 84 names. In 2013, the town of Arnprior decided to name a street after her - Mona McBride Drive - in honour of her service. She was one of 10 veterans to get the distinction at that particular time. Mona’s parents were W.J and Ethel McBride. She lived most of her life in Fitzroy Harbour and attended Fitzroy Harbour Public School and graduated from Arnprior High School. She enlisted in the Canadian Army Woman Corps, and when she died on June 3, 1944, held the rank of Sergeant. McBride was 26.

Legion salutes cadets for helping with its poppy campaign Canada’s national symbol of Remembrance, the Poppy, is blossoming on the jackets of Canadians as Nov. 11, the national day of Remembrance approaches. Thousands of Canada’s sea, army and air cadets are helping to make this possible. The Royal Canadian Legion, responsible for the national poppy campaign since its formation in 1926, readily acknowledges the commitment and dedication of the 12to 18-year-olds in the various cadet programs by marching in parades, taking active roles in Remembrance ceremonies across Canada and in keeping the poppy visible.
SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Sgt. Grant Parker of the 2360 army cadet squadron offers poppies to customers of Wendy’s and Tim Hortons on Nov. 8. Along with some help from volunteer Rhonda Dagg, the cadets were helping the Arnprior Legion with its poppy campaign. About 30 cadets were out with poppies throughout the weekend with others stationed at McDonalds, Metro, LCBO and Antrim truck stop. Dagg said the cadets are not selling poppies but offering them and accepting donations. This year marks 100 years since the writing of John McCrae’s famous poem, In Flanders Fields.
“These young men and women play a vital role in our campaign,” sais Dominion president of the Royal Canadian Legion, Tom Eagles in news release. “They are eager to help in our national poppy campaign and foster the tradition of Remembrance by wearing a poppy. Their enthusiasm is contagious.” Campaigns as large and extensive as the Legion’s annual effort need plenty of volunteers explained Eagles. “The areas we cover are just too vast, especially in those cities where growth has been substantial. The cadets appreciate our assistance in their
operations and are eager to help as a result.” The Royal Canadian Legion is a major sponsor and supporter of cadet corps, units and squadrons from coast to coast. The organization also sponsors the Cadet Medal of Excellence awarded to deserving cadets. “We are committed to the development of Canada’s youth as good citizens and our future leaders,” said Eagles. “Supporting our cadets is one of the many ways the Legion achieves this goal. They help us achieve our objectives with their help. It’s a win/win situation for all of us.”
Pem-Air: The little community airline that did it all Pem-Air, a small community airline, is born, thrives, and finally dies in ‘Pem-Air: The Little Community Airline That Did It All’ by Valley auther Del O’Brien. The book is being released on Nov. 17 by Burnstown Publishing House. Pem-Air’s range of activities included daily flights in and out of the major airports of Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec, cities connecting to communities in Quebec and Ontario, both north and south. It further included
missions to the far north, air ambulance and helicopter ambulance services, overnight bank runs, daily isotope deliveries to major American cities, and other valuable functions. For 32 years, Pem-Air served its clients, providing more and more services, better airplanes, and faithful scheduling. However, when the federal government’s focus changed to profit over safety, service-oriented Pem-Air was not able to stand up under this kind of pressure.

While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO.

And though she felt shy about tell- turned 17 years old she had no choice ing me her story, I encouraged her but to enlist. She had two options: one to go to the ammunition factory in the North of England under the Brits or to go to ‘Canada House’ in London to sign up for the Canadian Army, which she did. She was then sent to Aldershot for her basic training and was posted to Borden (Hertfordshire). Since Amy joined the army, her mom worked for the Red Cross and miraculously survived a bombing that destroyed their building. Near the end of the war, her mom anxiously escaped on a troop ship and made it back to her husband in Geraldton, Ontario. It was 1944 when Amy served Amy Poynter photographed during her country as a postal clerk in charge of the millions of heartfelt the Second World War.
letters sent to and from loved ones in the war. I asked Amy: “What did it feel like to be there?” She thought earnestly, then remarked: “Well, at times I was afraid with the bombs and sirens going off all the time. You never knew what was going to happen. It was scary for sure. “I was frightened for the soldiers in the line of fire. I know it was unbearable for families waiting at home to hear news about the war and their loved ones over the radio. It was war which made me sad, but being 18years-old with no responsibilities at the time made it exciting in a way too. It was a whirlwind of different emotions, that’s for sure.” Amy’s eyes lit up. “There are many stories I could tell you, but the most remarkable day, of course, was VE day (May 8, 1945). It is just like you see in the movies. At the same time as you heard it on the radio, you heard it in the streets ‘The war is over! The war is over’! “Everyone ran in the streets, laughing, crying and celebrating. That’s a day I will never forget! “I was discharged on Feb 8, 1946 and came home on the troop ship ‘The Queen Elizabeth’.” There was one specific soldier, Private Joe Bresson, from the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards who had set his sights on this little lass in England and followed her back
to Canada and they were married on June 4, 1947. Private Bresson’s story is one of bravery and courage (landing on the Beaches of Normandy, battling, being captured one night while doing night patrol and held as a prisoner of war. He was listed as dead to his family back home. Six months later the Red Cross found him being held as a prisoner of war). “Thank you Private Bresson for serving his country, Canada!” He passed in October 1956 in a boating accident. Joe and Amy had three beautiful children who brought so much love and joy to their home: Bonnie (Jean Lafleur), Glen who passed in December 2011 (Diane) and Cheryl (Hugh Pearson). Years later Amy took the hand of Michael Cassidy (passed 2004) and they were married in 1975. They too, were blessed with a wonderful son, Sean (Melinda). Many incredible stories of courage, devotion, sacrifice and adventure lie behind Amy’s beautiful blue eyes. When asked what brings her the most happiness, she smiled and said, “My children, my nine grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, friends and a good long life with lots of great memories.” Well Amy, thank you for serving our country. Thank you for your sacrifices along the way. You have lived

Take time to thank the veterans: MPP Yakabuski Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski is asking his constituents to take time to thank veterans “for the gifts that we so often take for
granted as Canadians: our freedoms, our rights, and our democracy.” He notes that people shouldn’t wait as in increasing
numbers veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War are “leaving us to be with their comrades.” As an MPP, “I have come to
know and understand even better, the courage, bravery, and sacrifice of veterans” like his father “who served so that our lives could be better.”

White is here, but not for long Michael Runtz Nature’s Way There is no doubt white stuff will cover the ground soon enough. But last week that was likely distant thought when soaring temperatures enticed Carleton University students and others to don shorts and T-shirts. Yet, despite the warm temperatures, fields near Ottawa did indeed see white. In some cases, that colour covered acres of ground. However, the coat of white was due to birds, not snow. When I was young, a single Snow Goose in a flock of Canada Geese was an exciting event. However, in recent decades, the numbers of that species have risen exponentially. Millions now nest in the subarctic and Arctic tundra (as do other species of geese) and during migration flocks of white geese can be seen in fields and on waterways throughout our region. Actually, not all Snow Geese are white for they come in two colour “morphs.” One is white with black wing tips and the other is blue-gray
MICHAEL RUNTZ
Currently hundreds of thousands of Snow Geese are resting in fields east of Ottawa. with a white head. Years ago they were thought to be two species and the blue morph was called the Blue Goose. But research proved the two to be only colour variations of the same species. Currently, birders and photographers are lining the roadsides of Lafleche Road and Highway 138 east of Ottawa. In the fields bordered by those roads and the 417 are hundreds of thousands of Snow Geese.
Because the birds are primarily of the white morph, the fields are white when the geese are sitting. Several times last week I went there in attempts to see a Pink-footed Goose, a stray from Greenland, which had been seen in the mass of Snow Geese. Now, trying to pick out a single goose from as
many as half a million birds is not an easy feat, and due to time constraints I failed in all three attempts. However, I wasn’t disappointed for the sight of thousands of Snow Geese

descending on green fields in midmorning was like seeing giant snowflakes falling from the sky. The geese are fattening up on corn in nearby fields and on grass in the fields in which they are resting. From the Ottawa Valley they will fly south, many heading for cornfields in the mid-western states. After my third unsuccessful attempt at seeing the Pink-footed Goose (the first ever seen in Ontario), I drove home by detouring through Burritts Rapids. There, another white bird had been seen, but this one was not a goose. It was a Cattle Egret from the south, possibly brought here by strong winds the previous week, and it was frequenting a field with horses. Cattle Egrets, originally African residents that hung around Hippopotamus and Water Buffalo, began a worldwide range expansion in the late 1800s, arriving in North America in 1953. From there they spread north (and south), but are still rarely seen in Ontario. I easily spotted the Burritt’s Rapids egret as it closely followed the horses, picking up insects disturbed by their hooves. Seeing the lone egret in a field of green was an easy feat; finding the Pink-fronted Goose remains a wild goose chase! The Nature Number is 613-3872503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Harvest time at Glasgow United There are two big fundraisers at the Glasgow United Church during the year and they both involve food. St. Patrick’s Day Irish stew was one and the other is the annual harvest supper, which occurred Oct. 30. Becky Hollingsworth estimated that the harvest meal has been held for at least 23 years. Her husband, Richard is the minister and also a ‘circuit rider’ between three churches. For 23 years he has filled the role. The supper featured ham, turkey, baked beans, salads and homemade pies. The church was expecting 200 people to attend.

Rexall gives back to Arnprior with major Partners in Caring donation Scott Campbell

Manager Ashley Wright is on a mission to get Rexall’s Arnprior store involved in the community. Rexall made a big splash on Oct. 30, giving back to the community in the form of a $5,000 donation to Partners in Caring. “Since 2002, the (Rexall) foundation has (been) helping build a strong and vibrant community by supporting numerous charitable donations,” said pharmacy director Maleeha Jahanzeb. The Arnprior donation will go towards the purchase of a pressure infuser and warmer, which can help a child
from a near drowning accident or any incident that may lead to hypothermia. Rexall regional director Everton Blackwin explained that such a donation from the company is basically money that is campaigned for through its foundation. A store manager such as Wright makes the request and the money is lobbied for in Toronto. Eventually it gets the thumbs up or down to complete the process. To mark the occasion of the Arnprior donation, there was a community celebration with coffee and cake and other special offerings. The cosmetics section of the store provided mini-makeovers. Customers bid on items in a silent auction that were generously donated by local businesses.

The couple behind wonderful gardens at Galilee Gardens at Galilee - “Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers, where I can walk undisturbed.” Walt Whitman At Galilee Centre in Arnprior, there are numerous committed people who volunteer their time and efforts to creating an oasis of peace, care and comfort. Galilee is situated next to an old growth forest overlooking the Ottawa River, surrounded by tall pines, oaks and other deciduous trees and bushes. The retreat and renewal centre is a spiritual oasis away from our busy lives and is surrounded by an artist’s paradise of flowering gardens. Bill and Anne Lamb, husband and wife team, are hard working volunteers, spending endless hours creating the flower gardens bordering the Centre which welcomes and invites people to Galilee. Anne and Bill moved to The Martha House at Galilee

three years ago from West Carleton where, in their retirement years, they operated a small greenhouse business for 10 years. Since their arrival they built a greenhouse on the property and transformed the outside appearance of the landscape from green grass to a brilliant blaze of colour. Many a day you will see Bill and Anne out tending the gardens, weeding, watering and caring for the plants. Anne explains that her speciality planters start off as seedlings purchased in Toronto and then moved into their basement under lights until the weather is warm enough to transport them out into the greenhouse. She creates these magnificent arrays of colour as an artist would a painting. Her secret formula is sheep manure worked into the soil while choosing plants that flourish well in our climate. The sheep manure (21 bags) was donated by a friend of Galilee. “Gardening is about the big picture,” says Anne. This

potatoe vine, petunias, geraniums, zinnias, marigolds, bamboo and other grasses. Two Bing Cherry Trees grow miraculously adding to the magic and marvel of the centre. These trees were donated by Sherrye Mosoff of True North Insight Group, who come often to Galilee for retreats. As the sun comes up and the birds are chirping, Bill will be out tending and caring for their vegetable garden at Martha House. The plants are started from seeds and seedlings in their basement and moved to the greenhouse for the final growth period. Most of the vegetables they have grown for themselves and any extra is shared with the kitchen at Galilee, the Food Bank and friends. Their vegetable garden is chemical free and Anne shares a home remedy for common diseases such as black spot and powdery mildew. It also is good for insects and pests. The recipe combines one and a half tablespoons of baking soda with one tablespoon of Sunlight or other dish soap, one tablespoon of cooking oil, one tablespoon of vinegar with 17 cups of water, which are mixed together and sprayed on affected areas. What to do with all the end of season plants and kitchen scraps? Bill digs an 18-inch trench in the garden – fills it up with the garden refuse and covers it with soil to break down and be tilled in when spring arrives. Gardening doesn’t end in the fall for Bill and Anne as they travel to the Green House Conference in Niagara Falls every year touring the Niagara Botanical Gardens seeking trending flowers and arrangements and new ideas to start another year of planting and creating.

Birdman of White Lake makes major bequest to CHEO scottcampbell@metroland.com
Honour veterans by hearing their stories: local author “Everyone has a relative who served in the Great War,” notes Susan Taylor Meehan, author of Maggie’s Choice, recently published by Burnstown Publishing House. “They were the generation of our grandparents and great-grandparents, ordinary men and women who were called on to do extraordinary things. They’re all gone now, but their stories live on, and we need to hear them.” It’s personal for Taylor Meehan. Her greataunt, Martha Morkin, served as a nurse at Canadian Casualty Clearing Station No. 3 near Boulogne, France during that war to end all wars. Like many veterans, she seldom talked about the war, despite persistent coaxing by family members. Then, one spring day a few months before she died, Martha Morkin sat down and told her story. The result is Maggie’s Choice, a novel based on those memories. “Every anecdote she told us is in there,” says Taylor Meehan. “But I also did my research. I read all the major books. I went to the archives, which has a huge data base on soldiers in the First World War. I screened films shot at the front. I read first-person accounts, memoirs and diaries. I devoured family letters and photos. “All this gave me a context and a real appreciation for what she must have gone through.”
Written as if it were Martha Morkin telling her story herself, Maggie’s Choice begins in the slums of North End Winnipeg, where she worked as a public health nurse, and takes readers to the Western Front, where she spent the next four years of her life. She packed a lot of living into those years: in March 1915, following the Battle of Ypres, she fell in love with a wounded soldier from her home town. She soon discovered, quite by accident, that he was involved in the underground effort to end the war and her carefully constructed world of right and wrong, black and white, us and them was shaken to its core. The choices she made - about her lover and his radical politics - led to dramatic consequences both during the war and after, when they returned home to the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike. “Maggie’s Choice is our story, Canada’s story,” says Taylor Meehan. “It’s about duty and sacrifice, disillusion and redemption. But more importantly, it’s about real people, with names and faces, families and lives back home. “I hope I have honoured her memory by telling her story, and I hope it speaks to all Canadians about who we are and what we owe to the generations who came before us.”

Wayne Robillard never married nor had children. The long-time White Lake resident was one of seven children of Harrison and Christina Robillard. He spent most of his working life at the Kenwood Mills. He loved the outdoors and was an avid fisherman. Wayne even got into racing pigeons and the nickname ‘Birdman of White Lake’ stuck with him. He died at his White Lake home on Aug 18, 2013. In a surprise, he left a generous bequest in his will to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario - $350,000 made from his estate. CHEO recently gratefully acknowledged the donation in their fall newsletter. The reason for waiting two years after his passing to acknowledge the donation is linked to the complexity of the process involving that amount of money. It has to go through probate and the lawyers, explained Megan Doyle Ray, manager of Legacy Giving and Memorial Programs for the CHEO Foundation. “Gifts like these are typically not received right away,” she said. “They come in disbursements.” The donation like Wayne Robillard’s is deemed a planned or legacy gift, noted Doyle Ray. “These types of donations can be made from cash or investments from their assets,” she said. “It could be what is left of RRSPs or from the sale of the house.” There are people who include charities in their wills while still taking care of their
families after they pass away. Doyle Ray suggests that people should at least consider leaving a charitable donation in their will. It would actually offset the tax hit because, unfortunately, people are taxed heavily after their passing. The bill is left to the estate to deal with. “I believe Wayne’s legacy gift was so large because he didn’t have children,” Doyle Ray said. “And, I think he wanted to make an impact on CHEO’s young patients.” There are plans to permanently recognize his contribution at CHEO in the near future. Doyle Ray estimates that 70 per cent of these type of gifts are a surprise. “They are all impressive donations.

An Arnprior driver faces several charges after he allegedly hit a police cruiser in Kanata then fled the scene. The OPP report an officer stopped a motor vehicle on Terry Fox Drive in Kanata on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 12:45 a.m. An investigation revealed that the driver had been drinking, says the OPP press release. “While attempting to arrest the male driver, the driver put his vehicle in reverse and backed into the police cruiser and struck the officer. The suspect vehicle then left the scene and headed onto Highway 417 westbound.” The officer, who was not injured, attempted to stop the suspect vehicle, OPP said. Due to very high speeds, the officer was not able to stop the

Goaltender Peter Brooks saves Packers from multiple losses Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
Arnprior Packers had an eventful weekend with three games trying to catch up from not playing in 13 days. Occasionally, teams in the American Hockey League have to keep pace with three games in three days, but such a schedule is a rarity in a league like the CCHL2 or even the former EOJHL. First out of the gate was a match-up last Friday against the Prescott Flyers. Arnprior won 5-2. Mitchell Sennett, Liam Poirier, Dean Galasso, Chris King and Dallas Farr were the Packers’ goal scorers.

SunDAY, nOvember 15tH & 22nD
“The win was mainly due to (Packers goaltender) Peter Brooks,” said Griese. “We were very rusty and goofy to say the least. Took us 30 minutes to get our feet going, but once that happened we were fine.” Brooks was indeed in great form. Prescott ended up with 37 shots on the Arnprior net. Brooks was bombarded 26 times in the first period alone and managed to keep Prescott scoreless. The Packers replied with 28 shots on the game. The next day the Packers made a trip to Brockville. The Packers ruled with a 4-0 win. Brooks proved once again to be one of the stars of the game. Packers Farr (2), Galasso and Poirier were scorers. “Saturday night’s win in Brockville was pretty dominate,” said Griese. “Peter Brooks was called on once again to get us going in the first period; after

The Packers capped their weekend with a Sunday road game to Clarence Creek. It was a 3-2 loss. Clarence scored within 18 seconds and carried the play for most of the match. Brooks almost saved the game yet again for the Packers, taking on a whopping 56 shots in the three periods. “Three games in 42 hours is ridiculous. The guys were exhausted, “said Griese. “I’m not sure if we even got a shot in the first period (tally was 23-8).” Griese noted the Packers tied the game with less than five minutes in the game, but it wasn’t counted. Neither the linesman nor referee saw the

puck go in. “It was a strange call. “None the less, we didn’t deserve to win, but I thought it was a very good effort from our guys to claw back through such adversity. “Peter Brooks is now the number one goaltender in our league,” said Griese. “He’s getting better every game and he’s getting more confident. Matt Dods had a virus and was off all weekend.” It’s another road weekend for the Packers as the team plays Char-Lan Rebels and Metcalfe Jets Saturday and Sunday, followed by another away game Nov. 19 against Ottawa West. The next home game for Arnprior isn’t until Friday, Nov. 27 when Metcalfe comes to town. The Packers (11-6) sit in third place in the eight-team Richardson Division, behind Perth (15-1) and Stittsville (13-3) and just ahead of Westport.

that we settled down and played very good hockey. Brooks’ first junior hockey shutout was exciting for all the guys.”
No one can truly predict the weather in McNab-Braeside for Saturday, Nov. 21. There could be sleet, snow, hail, freezing rain, ordinary rain, wind, windchill or maybe even sun. The only thing that can be predicted for certain is that it will be a tough day to do any sort of trek, let alone a 5-km walk or run or a 10-km run. Yet that is precisely what the participants in the Tartan Tuff Trek will be doing that day in support of Neighbourlink Fountain. Evolution
The Tartan Tuff Trek evolved from the past Tartan Runs that were part of the Riverdrive Festival in the halcyon days of summer. It was felt by some local runners that a summer run was too easy, too warm and too gentile. What was needed was a tough run in which participants could laugh at the weather, no matter what the thermometer read or the wind gauge measured. The Tartan Tuff Trek is the answer to this quest. Partici-
pants will meet at the Dochart Soccer Fields (278 Duncan Dr.) in McNab-Braeside. From there it is a short walk to the McNab-Braeside Recreation Trail to the start line. The event will be along this flat and scenic trail straight out and straight back. While there will be forest and fields and farms to look at, there will be no protection from the wind or snow or rain. It is an event only for the Ottawa Valley tough. Younger runners will have a chance to take part in the Tiny Tartan - a simple loop in one of the soccer fields. Completion
After the completion of the walks and runs, everybody is welcome to come to the Fountain (128 Mary St, in Arnprior) for chilli - different types of chili as there will be a chili cook-off - coffee, hot chocolate and good cheer. The first 60 to sign up will receive an original embossed Tartan Tuff Trek neck-warmer. The entry fee for this event is $20 a person or $40 a family and includes the run or walk, the food and the neck warmer (the Tiny Tartan fee is $2). This event is jointly presented by the Neighbourlink Foun-
tain and The Municipality of McNab-Braeside. All proceeds go to support the programs of Neighbourlink Fountain. All payments exceeding $10 are eligible for a tax receipt. Banquo: “The earth hath bubbles as the water has, And these are of them. Whither are they vanished?” Macbeth: “Into the air, and what seemed corporal melted As breath into the wind. Would they had stayed!” (William Shakespeare, in Macbeth, foreshadowing the 2015 Tartan Tuff Trek ) When and where: Saturday Nov. 21, registration at 9 a.m., Tiny Tartan at 9:30 a.m., walk and run at 10 a.m at Dochart soccer fields, 278 Duncan Dr., McNab-Braeside. Where to Sign Up: 1/Township of McNab-Braeside Municipal Office , 2508 Russet Dr.; 2/ The Fountain, 128 Mary St., Arnprior (10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday); 3/ Robertson’s Furniture, 137 John St, North, Arnprior; 4/ The Cupboard, 107 John St,, Arnprior , For more information, call Andy Kalnins at 613-6225464.

The Arnprior District High School senior football team has earned the right to try to gain revenge for their only defeat of the season by earning the right to play the St. John’s Spartans of Perth in the Lanark-Renfrew final this Friday, Nov. 13. The Redmen qualified for the final with a hard-fought 13-11 semi-final win over Almonte on their home field last Friday. It was quite the battle on Arnprior’s home field as the game between the two fierce rivals could have gone either way. Arnprior took a 7-4 lead into the second quarter and after Almonte gained a single point on a missed field goal, ADHS used a mixed passing and running game to increase the Donna Nych lead to 13-5 in the fourth quarter.

However, Almonte didn’t roll over and fought their way down the field, eventually scoring a touchdown, thanks to help from a penalty call, making the score 13-11. However, the Arnprior defense thwarted the Thunderbolts attempted a two-point convert. With just over a minute left, Arnprior ran out the clock to clinch the win. Delighted Redmen co-coach Trevor Rosien was delighted with the win, noting his team made the best of its opportunities in what was an excellent game. He credited the Redmen’s offensive line for playing a strong game and being a key to victory.

Late push gives St.John’s win over ADHS John Carter

The Arnprior District High School junior football team came oh-so-close to qualifying for the Renfrew-Lanark final last Friday. The Redmen led the semi-final game with St. John’s of Perth 22-12 late into the fourth quarter. A touchdown with about four minutes left had given ADHS the 10-point lead on their home field. However, the team in which many players played both offense and defense appeared to run out of gas. St. John’s scored two late touchdowns, the final one with just over 20 seconds left, to stun ADHS 26-22. The Spartans responded to the Arnprior score by driving down the field to score a touchdown of their own to make the score 22-19.
The Spartans attempted an onside kick in an effort to get back on offense right away, but Arnprior recovered the ball. ADHS attempted to run out the clock, but a sturdy St. John’s defense stopped Arnprior from getting a first down and forced them to turn over the ball. To make things worse for Arnprior, St. John’s sacked their punter on the Redmen’s 40-yard line. St. John’s capitalized with a series of passing and run plays to take the ball to the the Arnprior five-yard line with less than 30 seconds to go. The Spartans then ran the ball into the end zone to steal the victory. They will play powerhouse Almonte in the final this Friday. It was an exciting game for fans of both teams. In its school’s report on the game, St. John’s said it took a full team effort to beat an “outstanding and classy Arnprior squad.”

ADHS basketball teams take lead in finals
The junior and senior girls basketball teams for ADHS are a game away from winning Valley championships. The juniors won game one of best-of-three fial series against RCI Monday 38-36. The top performers were Lizzie Wyatt, Sydney Moore and Katie McIntyre. The seniors girls were also pulled off a win in game one, beating RCI 38-31. Dakota Hanson was one of the stars of the game as she scored 15 points, eight of them in the fourth quarter, to lead the team. Mikeala Ap-
pleby also chipped in with 12 points of her own and Paula Meek and Sydney Friske rebounded the ball well. Both teams, regular season champs, started the series on the road. Game two brought the action back to their home court Wednesday (after press deadline). One more victory for each would give ADHS the championships. It was the first game back at ADHS in many weeks due to work being done in the gymnasium. If the girls failed to pull off, wins they had one chance today (Thursday, also at home.

Young coach comes home to play it forward Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
He carries himself like a hockey player. Tall and obviously strong, he seems to move almost slowly around the rink, saying little. Like many hockey players, Curtis Watson saves the speed and self-expression for on ice. He’s trained to be action-oriented; ‘show don’t tell’ as the expression goes; but he is also transitioning away from player to coach. He is moving toward a mentor role. “I just wanted to give back to the community that helped me along the way,” said Watson, who grew up in Braeside. The Arnprior peewee Packers team is a little different. Most minor hockey teams have a father as coach. And that is true for this team. But to have an assistant coach with no family members on the team, a younger person simply wanting to help kids learn to love the game he loves, that is a unique situation. Watson’s one connection is through team coach Dustin Dorken, who coached him on the Kanata Stallions (now Lasers) Junior A club. “We had some ups and downs,” Watson said. “He was a good coach.

He wanted you to work for him, that’s for sure.” Watson, 23, hopes to teach that same work ethic to the 11- and 12year-old boys. It is a lesson that often lasts a lifetime. But it is a lesson that should come with a side. “Hard work and have fun,” said the Arnprior District High School graduate. “If it’s not fun it’s not worth it. You should work hard but have a smile on your face at the end of the day.” OHL stint
It was that insistence on playing for the fun of the game that helped guide his career. The offensiveminded defenceman packed up his equipment from a promising stint in the Ontario Hockey League (which drafts many NHL players) to come back home. He is one of the few players to jump from rep B hockey – Arnprior Packers - to the OHL. And he was selected in the fourth round. But the move to a city in southern Ontario, the intensity of the game, it all proved too much. “I got homesick,” he said. “I love it in Braeside, the laid-back atmosphere, fishing, I like the pace of life here.”
Derek Dunn/Metroland
Curtis Watson started playing hockey in Arnprior, but went farther than most. He returns home this season to give back to the minor hockey association that taught him so much. His favourite minor hockey memory? Winning the Silver Stick in Port Huron, Mich. “Our coach was Todd Collins.” He misses playing top notch hockey, but says he is having even more
fun practicing with the peewee kids. He hopes to have some influence and has even developed a strategy for accomplishing it. “I like to lead the big skates with them up and down the ice,” Wat-
son said. “I like them to follow my lead.” The only child of Peter and Susan Watson is leading by example, the first step every bona fide mentor takes.

Choir has belted out tunes for 25 years Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
Lisa Webber founded of the Arnprior Community Choir and 25 years later it is still going strong. “This (year’s) would be the largest group we’ve had. There are about 65 adults,” she said. Typically the singers are aged from 30 all the way up to 85 years old. When the choir was first formed, there were only 10 people interested. The Arnprior Community Choir usually holds two large concerts during the year with performances in May and at Christmas, with its tradition Sing Noel event. Webber is the music director and the accompanist is Andrea de Boer.
“Anyone can join,” said Webber. “We usually have two weeks in September and January for people to come out and try. We have a fabulous group.” After the two weeks, those interested have to decide if they want to become a member. Nobody has to audition and no previous experience is even needed. “Am I surprised it’s been 25 years?” said Webber. “Yes and no. Arnprior has been really supportive and love music. There seems to be a want in this area and it really stuck.” Webber guesses about two, maybe three members have been around since the start of the choir. “There are many who have sung for 20 years.”
One of the ways to mark the 25 years was a special gathering on Saturday when Linda Crawford, a choral teacher, worked with the group. There was also a special logo designed for the choir for its 25th anniversary. The Sing Noel is slated for Dec. 6 at Glad Tidings Church. “It’s usually a great audience and a good turnout,” said Webber. One of the concert’s standards through the years is Peace, Peace/Silent Night. On Jan. 5 and 12, people will be able to register, pay fees, and hear more about the spring concert. Singers must register by Jan.12. Members meet Tuesdays at the Arnprior Legion from 7:30 to 9:30 The Arnprior Community Choir has a special logo to mark its milestone p.m. to rehearse. anniversary.

Their performance at St. Andrew’s in 2011 brought rave reviews: “enormous talents”; “shared their knowledge and talents on a per-
sonal level. A rare opportunity to hear some splendid musicians”; “I come from a background where classical music was not what we listened to but … the fiVe have made me appreciate the beautiful music they create.” Asked why they chose to return to St. Andrew’s, their oboist, David Sale, described the sanctuary as “a wonderfully intimate space with marvellous acoustics, a hidden gem … and they also really know how to provide great desserts.” Admission to the concert will be by freewill donation. Refreshments will follow the music.

Mc Nulty In loving memory of a Special Mom who suddenly left us 8 years ago November 15, 2007. Mom you were a gift sent straight from Heaven, Given to us from God above, We didn’t know how much you would teach us, About the meaning of true love….. For true love sometimes means letting go, Of someone precious and dear, That is what we were forced to do…. Although we wanted to keep you here!!! However, this was quite a selfish wish, One we know we should ignore…. But, Sweet Mom, we truly do believe, That God must have needed you more…. Perhaps to be an Angel now. Full of wisdom and Love…. Watching over those of us who love you, From the shining stars above, We miss You more than You can know, You will never, be replaced…. In our Hearts and Memories Forever, Will be your Sweet and Innocent Sleeping Face. Forever In Our Thought’s & Always in Our Hearts. Your Family

who passed away November 1, 2014. ••• We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new, We thought about you yesterday, And days before that too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, Now all we have are memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part, God has you in his keeping, We have you in our heart. Love and miss you dearly. CLR647034.1112

In Loving memory of my dear wife Janet who suddenly left 8 years ago November 15, 2007
I’m sending a dove to Heaven, With a parcel on its wings, Be careful when you open it, It’s full of beautiful things. Inside is a million kisses, Wrapped in a million hugs, To say how much I miss you, And to send you all my love. I hold you close within my heart, And there you will remain, To walk with me throughout my life, Until we meet again. Forever In My Thoughts & Always In My Heart.

Seniors food competition yields two wins in a row for Island View chef Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
The Kanata Seniors’ Centre’s annual retirement residence cooking competition saw some weird and wonderful turkey creations thanks to the Thanksgiving theme. It resulted in turkey tacos, egg rolls and more. The Turkey Creations Cook-off saw chefs from eight retirement residences in Ottawa’s west end creatively repurpose Thanksgiving leftovers at the Kanata Seniors’ Centre on Oct. 15. Two expert judges were on hand to determine the judge’s choice winner. They were the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre’s executive director Cathy Jordan, and this reporter from the Kanata Kourier-Standard, serving his first time as a “celebrity judge” of food, or anything for that matter. The event included a People’s Choice Award as well, which has tended to be different than the judge’s choice. TOP CHOICE
This year’s awards continued that theme, with the Judge’s Choice Award going to Island View Retirement Suites in Arnprior, and its chef Wendy Crego. She made a white bean turkey chilli, which sought to walk the line between spicy and not-too-spicy, and a deli-
cious cheddar cheese biscuit for dunking, which delighted at least one of the judges with its combination of flakiness and hint of turkey gravy flavour. It was the second year in a row Island View Retirement Suites won the judge’s choice at the event. “We are just so excited to go back and tell the residents we’ve won twice in a row,” said Crego. Riverpark Place Retirement Residence from the Bayshore area was second in the judge’s estimation, with a deep-fried dumpling of stuffing, parmesan and cheddar, white wine turkey gravy and pickled carrots to top it off. The people’s choice winner went to Bridlewood Trails Retirement Residence in south Kanata, and chef Chris Lewis. He created a pulled turkey taco with a cranberry coulis, sliced cucumbers and lime yogurt. Lewis said he wanted to make something very different with his offering, looking for different flavours and textures than a regular turkey dinner. Second in the people’s appraisal was the Chartwell Empress Kanata Retirement Residence located in Katimavik, with their chef presenting a “turkey en croute” – a mixture of turkey, potatoes and more in a puff pastry, with a touch of spiced gravy and cranberry chutney. The event drew a sell-out crowd of 112, and eight different food creations, including turkey and stuffing stuffed egg rolls, and turkey paté atop a savoury bread pudding with cranberry caviar.
Island View Retirement Suite’s chef Wendy Crego presents judge Cathy Jordan with her turkey chili creation at the Kanata Seniors’ Centre’s annual retirement residence cooking competition on Oct. 15. Crego’s dish won the Judge’s Award this year from amongst eight creative submissions that sought to re-purpose a traditional turkey dinner. It’s the second year in a row she has won, which is unprecedented.

No scrap was left without a use in the Depression years The bag hung on the back of the kitchen door. Mother didn’t like it there ... where everyone could see it as soon as they walked in the house, but there wasn’t really any other place for it. She reasoned, since everyone she knew on the Northcote Side Road had a bag in the same spot, that was obviously the best place for it. There was nothing unusual about the bag. Unless it was the red and blue printing on both its sides. It read: Five Roses Flour. Used for any other purpose, Mother would have tried, usually with little success, to bleach out the printing when the bags were used for bloomers, aprons, fancy tea towels, pillow slips, and yes, even sheets for the beds. But this bag would not be used for anything so fancy. It was simply called the rag bag. And that was its sole purpose. It held anything that at one time was worn on our backs, and which had developed enough holes, had faded beyond use, worn thin and beyond repair, and generally was no longer considered wearable. It always amazed me why Mother, once something was doomed for the rag bag, had to first make sure it was washed. Then it was folded neatly, and crammed into the rag bag. And then every last scrap put into the bag would eventually have another purpose before finally being chucked into the cook stove. Tea towels, once flour bags themselves, but worn so thin, they were useless, became dusters. They would be cut into smaller pieces, and once they were used several times, would once again be washed, and then chucked back into the rag bag. Father’s and the three brothers’ long-johns were choice pieces in the rag bag. They became scrub cloths. Of course, they were cut into workable pieces first. There were two types of material in the longjohns ... cotton and wool. And only the cottons were used as scrub cloths. They absorbed the hot water and soap perfectly, could be rinsed out, could be used to mop up spills, and generally used over and over again. The underwear made of fine wool, had a special purpose. And it was at this time of year, the wool underwear, with anything else that Mother thought suitable, was taken out of the rag bag, and, piled in a corner of the kitchen on a chair, until she and my sister Audrey had a spare evening to put it all to another purpose. Anything of a light colour would have to
INSIDE
have a Ritz Dye dip before it could be put to its final use. And then, as the evenings grew shorter, and the coal oil lamps were lit sometimes while we were still at the supper table, all of those pieces from the rag bag would MARY COOK be laid out on the kitchen table, and Mother and Audrey, using Mother’s best sewing scissors, cut everything into long thin strips. These were hand-sewn together until they were one long, rope-like piece, and it was my job to wrap it around the back of a chair to make a big coil. And then, on the cold winter nights, where the kitchen was the warmest room in the house, those long coils from the rag bag, would end up in their final resting place. With a large-eyed needle, and the heaviest thread Mother could buy at Walker’s Store in Renfrew, she would turn those strips into yet another braided rug for the floor. She would divide the evening into sewing together the long strips, and spending time on her beloved diaries. Heaven forbid that her diaries should be neglected! And I would watch those strips, three at a time, turn into braids, hand -sewn, and see the effort getting bigger and bigger until the braided rug was the size Mother wanted. There were braided rungs everywhere. The one at the back door, which got constant use from wet gum rubbers, snow covered footwear, and, yes, even the odd piece of manure stuck onto Father’s boots, before the winter was half over would have to be discarded and a new one put down. I would often play a game over the braided rugs. I would get down on my hands and knees and try to remember what part of a braid had served its original purpose. There would be the remnants of my faded and worn navy blue fleece lined bloomers, and Father’s old red plaid shirt, and, of course, the long underwear. Stuffing the rag bag was an ongoing process. Like morsels of leftover meals, string from Briscoe’s General Store, tin cans, newspapers, and, yes, even goose grease had a purpose back in the thirties. Nothing was wasted. It was the only way to survive the Depression years, which had closed tightly around us. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, things go well in your love life this week, especially after you let go of the reins for a little while. You will be surprised at what comes when you accept change. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Resist the urge to feel slighted when others don’t pay you the attention you think you deserve, Taurus. Your efforts are being noticed, and they will pay dividends in the long run. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Put your worries aside, Gemini. This week you will be floating on a cloud. Something special comes your way, and the next week should be filled with laughter. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t allow indecision to keep you from your ultimate goal this week, Cancer. Do your best to keep an open mind and have confidence in your ability to make the right call. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 You are spurred on by other people’s energy this week, Leo. The more social engagements you can set up the better off you will be. Host a party or enjoy a night on the town. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, stay busy this week with tasks that keep your mind occupied. You can use a few pressure-free days, and staying busy will prevent you from worrying.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Things may reach a critical point this week, Libra. How you react in tough situations will give others a good indication of how reliable you can be. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, take a few deep breaths when confronted with an issue. Taking a step back can provide a new perspective that can help you solve a problem that’s puzzled you to this point. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Now is a great time to tell family members that you love them, Sagittarius. Open up your heart and share your feelings. You’re bound to feel better for having done so. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, connect with creative people this week and delve into projects that inspire your own creative energy. Even though you’re being crafty, you still will be productive. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 This is a good week to make a bold move, Aquarius. Keeping your feelings inside will not produce results. Take action and you will be glad you did. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Tasks may need a little more attention this week, Pisces. If things seem to take a bit longer, exercise patience and you will solve the problem. 1112
