News – The rhetoric is heating up as the deadline looms in the recreation-library agreements controversy between McNab-Braeside and Arnprior. Sporting organizations will likely have to boost rates substantially or even shut down. It’s a class conflict; adults against kids: all the arguments are testing the relationship between two communities. Arnprior council begins budget deliberations in earnest after Jan. 1. It is planning for a $150,000 shortfall due to McNab-Braeside pulling out of recreation and library costsharing agreements. Although there is a strong push from people and politicians in both communities to convince township councillors to reverse their decision to pull agreements’ funding from the tax base, Arnprior recreation director Glenn Arthur met last week with Nick Smith Centre user groups to paint the likely scenario. Details on how the town could bridge the shortfall – Arnprior residents will not pay extra – were to be revealed at the Nov. 12 council meeting, after the newspaper’s deadline. However, cancelled contracts and an extra $60-per-hour to ice rentals are expected, im-

pacting figure skating, ringette, and boys, girls and oldtimers’ hockey. “Based on what we have heard from Arnprior, we will see registrations rise at least $300 (per participant) for our minor sports next year, in some cases starting in January,� said Brian Armsden, a hockey team manager and member of a group circulating a petition against township council’s position. “We know this will result in drastic reductions in registrations and most likely some of our associations will fold.� Pool users face a similar impact. The library is staring at a $60,000 shortfall. Town chief administrative officer Michael Wildman insists that any cancelled contracts will be done so legally, and that the additional costs to out-of-town users was arrived at after much consideration. “If a contract binds the town, the town will not go back on it,� Wildman said. “We are not pulling anything out of the air.� He denies this is a plot to treat township voters as pawns in an attempt to pressure their council. It isn’t about winning a public relations campaign. It is about being as open and timely as possible with Nick Smith users, he says. See CHANGE, Page 3 R0012389139

A time to remember Leonard Spinks salutes at the Arnprior cenotaph after laying a wreath on behalf of Canadian veterans Monday. Spinks joined the army at Fort Fontenac in Kingston in 1944 and was first attached to the Toronto Scottish Vicors Machine Gun Regiment. He was transferred to the 1st Airborne Regiment and upon his return to Canada in 1945 he went to the Canadian Provost Corps at Old Fort Henry. Among the Branch 174 member’s decorations are the 1939-1945 Star Defence Medal and the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal. For more Remembrance Day coverage, see Pages 4, 21 and 31.

Arnprior man treats veterans at Tims News – A good Samaritan gave a large number of veterans a treat in Arnprior Monday. Chris McCluskey of Arnprior Tim Hortons said an Arnprior area man agreed to pick up the tab for all veterans and soldiers who stopped by the Arnprior restaurants on the morning of Remembrance Day.

Tim Hortons already provides free coffee for veterans on Nov. 11. The benefactor, a man who appeared to be in his 40s, paid for the rest. He asked to remain anonymous. His good deed cost him at least $500. See CUSTOMER, Page 3

NEWS

Recreation petition almost ready for council News – The McNab-Braeside Residents for Reading and Recreation (MBR4RR) say the door-to-door campaign designed to pressure township council to reconsider its ending of recreation and library agreements with Arnprior and Renfrew has had a better response than even they expected. The petition campaign will wrap up this weekend with the group planning to present the results to council as soon as they can. The group reports that 80 per cent of people it talked to, our about 1,500 citizens, have signed the petition. It anticipates getting close to 3,000 signatures if it could reach all residents. In a news release, group spokesman Brian Armsden said the organizers are pleased with the progress of the canvassing being done by more than 40 supporters. The petition calls for McNab-Braeside council to extend a lump sum agreement with Arnprior and Renfrew for one more year and for future councils after next year’s municipal elections to continue to negotiate in good faith for shared usage of existing library and recreation facilities with its neighbours.

“Of all the political campaigns that I have been involved in, I have never seen such a one-sided affair,� said Mark MacKenzie, one of the founders of MBR4RR. “I have found people to be very friendly and forthright with their opinions,� said Cory Klinkenberg, one of the canvassers who have taken on the task of bringing the petition to their neighbours’ doors. “A lot of people are very aware of what is at stake and they feel very much that township council has not been listening.� Matt Naismith has been keeping track of the numbers from each sector of the canvass area. “We are getting a consistently high rate of signing from all areas of the township,� he said. “The challenge has been to get people at home.� Another organizer, Christina Howard, reminds people that if anybody has missed the canvassers their support is still needed, preferably by the end of this week. “Even if your spouse has signed, we encourage all voters from each household to express their support in this important issue,� she said. “You can sign at Robbin’s Confection-

ary in Braeside, the Antrim Truck Stop, the White Lake General Store and Neat CafĂŠ in Burnstown. We can also be contacted via our website, or email address and we’ll come to you.â€? If there is no further action from McNabBraeside council, then as of Jan. 1 funding from the township for the libraries and recreation facilities in Arnprior and Renfew will cease, points out the group. Therefore, many programs currently enjoyed by McNab-Braeside residents will be in jeopardy of surviving or will become unaffordable, it says. Armsden reports that canvassing will wrap up this weekend and MBR4RR will presenting the results to McNab-Braeside Council shortly thereafter. “I am very proud of the work that our canvassers have done for their community,â€? he said. “They have volunteered countless hours of their time to this endeavour. “I implore upon the residents that feel as passionately about this issue as we do, but we have missed, to do their part for their community as well and ensure that their signature finds its way onto the petition.â€?

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Change aimed at making recreation affordable: Campbell “We will treat McNab the same as we treat other municipalities. We are not doing anything new,� he said, then pointed to a longstanding letter on the town’s website detailing the likely outcome. HOCKEY TOO EXPENSIVE?

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell doubts Arnprior is using people as pawns. However, she said she doesn’t understand why user rates have to jump so dramatically, but respects the town’s right to make it happen. Deep River told her they can run its arena for $250,000 a year. But without

access to Arnprior’s books, she has no idea why it costs so much to operate the Nick Smith Centre. Campbell maintains that too much of the township’s tax revenue was going toward a select few families that can afford to play hockey. She prefers the twoonie-an-hour approach when it comes to offer-

“I was blown away with his generosity and how much the veterans meant to him,� said McCluskey. “He said he was grateful and wanted to show his appreciation for their service.� He was a customer who when he was in the restaurant Sunday made the offer and plunked down $500 to back it up. McCluskey said the donation was significant as six to 10 busloads of veterans and military personnel pulled into the Tim Hortons just off Highway 417 on their way to various Remembrance ceremonies. There were only a couple of veterans that day at the Madawaska Boulevard Tim Hortons, but the restaurant off Daniel Street was packed most of the morning. “It was a really nice gesture,� said McCluskey. “There have been people coming into Tim Hortons and paying for other people’s coffee ... but this has taken it a step further.�

Correction News - The Town of Arnprior waived the hall rental fees for a fundraiser at Nick Smith Centre. Incorrect information appeared in the Nov. 7 Chronicle-Guide story ‘Audit shows town finished last year with almost $500K’. Under the subheading ‘Dance Missteps’ it was written that Scott Brum, organizer of The Shawn Fridgen Benefit Dance Nov. 9, was turned down in his request to have the fees waived. In fact, the hall fees were waived. It was the bar proceeds the town refused to donated. The Chronicle-Guide regrets any confusion that may have followed.

Campbell said council will likely agree to compensate library users, which takes care of half the petition’s fear. As for the rest: “We’ve already surveyed households. And the results were clear.” She said residents want the burden off the tax base and that council’s survey was legitimate, though critics point out that the fundamental question of whether recreation should be paid from the tax base or by individuals was made before the survey was released.

Campbell disagrees with those who say the decision was made with next to no input from residents, at a budget meeting on Feb. 4. It was not advertised before the meeting that council would discuss the possibility, and a print reporter did not attend the meeting. Many of Campbell’s opponents believe it is such a big decision that the only way to deal with it fairly is at election time. However, some have come to question council’s commitment to the recreation needs of the township’s youngest residents.

He has heard that about 1,500 of the township’s voters have signed the petition, about 80 per cent of those approached. OPEN TO DISCUSSIONS

Like Campbell’s community-driven approach, he believes politicians should act after gathering as much input as possible. That includes acknowledging the power of petitions. “You are elected to listen to your constituents and ratepayers and when something is brought forward you should consider it. It is pretty substantial numbers,” Reid said. “If (township councillors) decide to change their minds, we certainly will be willing to enter into discussions.”

NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND OTHERS

They say many on council have no children and have it in for families involved in hockey. Campbell has heard the comments herself. “If I could channel that passion to getting a solution for all our children think of what we could accomplish.” She was once an elementary school teacher and is not childless by choice, so any concern that she may not have sympathy for children’s welfare is unfounded, she suggested. “I am not anti-hockey. I am trying to find an affordable alternative,” Campbell said. “I believe in community-driven government, but we have to make decisions on how we should spend our (township’s) money.” Arnprior Mayor David Reid has seen the many letters to the editor opposed to council’s position.

Hardened shoulders make for better sharing of roads Newly reconstructed Baskin Drive paved shoulder part of county’s active transportation initiative News - The County of Renfrew’s public works and engineering department unveiled a project Nov. 1 in Arnprior designed to encourage more sharing of roadways. Part of the county’s active transportation initiative, the hardened shoulders project was introduced in a ceremony near the corner of newlyreconstructed Baskin Drive (County Road 10) and Daniel Street (County Road 2). The unveiling on the road that links the busy commercial area along Daniel Street to A.J. Charbonneau school and all the new housing in the are attracted a large number of attendees from the public, elected officials, County of Renfrew staff and members of the Physical Activity Network and committee. County Warden Peter Emon welcomed the large gathering of attendees at the unveiling of the hardened shoulders initiative and share the road concept. “Share the road is an important message, which highlights our transportation network and the variety of users on County of Renfrew roads,” said Emon. “In rural Ontario our roadways function as our routes for work, shopping, our recreation or fitness paths and in many cases our route to school or hauling our equipment to the farm field or the mill. It’s where

our children and our friends walk, ride their bikes, and their ATVs.” Arnprior Reeve and County operations committee chair Walter Stack also addressed the gathering with a welcoming message. As he had previously commented, “the intent is to increase safety along our County roadways for all who use it by providing a hardened area adjacent to the vehicle lanes. It also helps to increase the longevity of the roadway and decrease maintenance by preventing the breaking up of the edge of the road by large vehicles.” In addition, Damien McCarthy, a human transportation advocate and owner of Gearheads in Petawawa, took the opportunity to mention how he sees the Share the Road concept as a step forward in providing a clear message about safety and awareness to all road users. The County Road 10 (Baskin Drive) project is one of six being completed this year in the county that incorporates hardened shoulders. The hardening of road shoulders helps to emphasize the share the road concept by providing a paved shoulder accompanied by signage that enhances safety for all road users, including bicyclists and pedestrians. As well, hardening of road shoulders helps extend the life-span of a road by reducing the maintenance costs associated with edge breaks.

News - Until recently, Renfrew County councillors and staff were wondering if the extension of Highway 417 past Arnprior was going to take forever. More recently, the project’s next phase, which takes it north of Arnprior, has been confirmed to be part of the current provincial highway construction’s five-year plan. That next phase of four-laning, though, only takes the highway a few kilometres up the Valley from Arnprior, so the county feels an urgency to push for follow-up on the very next phase, which will extend Highway 417 to O’Brien Road in Renfrew. Consequently, county officials hope economic data could help the push for the expansion of the four-lane highway, where now there are just two lanes, well past Renfrew. About two years ago, then Ontario Transportation Minister Bob Chiarelli told Renfrew County officials that he wanted to see an economic business case for why the highway should be extended. He said arguments about the need for increased safety wasn’t enough to justify expediting the project.

RESPONSE POSITIVE

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Renfrew County property and development director Paul Moreau addresses county council with the county’s report that was recently presented to the provincial transportation minister. Current Transportation Minister Glen Murray was, therefore, the recipient of the county’s Oct. 22 presentation of that business case report.

The report, entitled Business Case for the Accelerated Expansion of Highway 417, was positively received, Moreau told the Oct. 31 gathering of county council. The 25-page document was prepared by the County of Renfrew and the Ottawa firm of McSweeney and Associates following an online survey and three focus groups with several dozen participants, including members of such economic sectors as tourism, elected officials, forestry, agriculture and nuclear technology. The report finishes with a two-page letter from Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. president R.S. Walker to Alastair

Baird, the county’s manager of economic development. As the president of a company that has 2,900 employees, Walker writes about increased safety and stronger financial links that would be forged between the county and the national capital region with the extension of Highway 417. At the start of the report, the county asks that the continued extension of Highway 417 remain a key priority within Ontario’s five-year capital works program. The county also asks for a “predictable multi-year program to fund the planning and implementation of environmental assessment updates, property acquisition and budget allocations” for 417’s continued extension through the county. The report says the highway needs to be extended to promote economic growth, enhance tourism, sustain communities, enhance safety and improve traffic flows. ARNPRIOR GROWTH CITED

The report goes on to argue how four communities (two within Renfrew County and two nearby) have benefitted from extensions of four-lane, restricted-access highways. See COUNCILLORS Page 7

Councillors applaud report Continued from Page 6

The communities are North Grenville, Carleton Place, Arnprior and Renfrew, following recent extensions of highways 416, 7 or 417. For example, the report cites growth in Arnprior residential development after the province’s 2002 announcement about extending Highway 417 to Arnprior. The report also references Renfrew’s declining population from 1996 to 2006,

and subsequent regrowth after Highway 417 reached Arnprior in 2006. The report’s many other findings include: 1) the county’s investment sector can’t compete with other regions served by a four-lane highway; 2) major employers have difficulty attracting professionals due to perceptions about Highway 17’s safety concerns; and 3) without railway service, the county now relies wholly on the highway system to move people and goods. County councillors applauding the report included Audrey Green of Renfrew and Janice Visneskie of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards.

“We’ve been fighting this fight for many, many years,” said Visneskie. “It truly is a wonderful document, and surely they (the provincial government) have to sit up and listen.” Also, Moreau noted that building Highway 417 to Renfrew will also optimize use of the other important provincial highway investments in eastern Ontario, such as highways 60, 132, 41 and 416, that take drivers into central Ontario. “You build it to Renfrew, you will access all the other provincial infrastructure that you already sank a lot of money into,” said Moreau to applause from county council.

EDITORIAL

Keep their memories alive On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, most activities came to a halt as citizens remembered those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. But sometimes it’s difficult to remember. When attempting to describe the importance of Remembrance Day, the words “lest we forget� often cross our lips, emerging as an almost secular amen to punctuate the ceremonies held at schools, cenotaphs and legions. The meaning of Remembrance Day is passed down from generation to generation in the form of a history lesson. We learn more than 600,000 Canadian soldiers fought in the First World War and one in 10 did not return. The last known Canadian veteran who served in the First World War died in 2010. One million Canadian soldiers fought in the Second World War – more than 46,000 did not survive. Twenty six thousand Canadians participated in the Korean War, with 516 killed, and another 121 soldiers have been killed in peacekeeping missions. In our most recent conflict, 157 soldiers were killed fighting in Afghanistan. And many of the survivors of the wars came home badly scarred, both physically and men-

tally. Our loss transcends mere numbers – as stark and horrifying as they are. These are sons and daughters, our fathers and mothers, our brothers and sisters, our next-door neighbours. They were real people, who carried hope for the present, regrets from the past and dreams for the future. And when they died, they left holes in our hearts and voids in families across the country. Every year, we gather and promise to never forget them or their sacrifice. But it’s a difficult promise to make. Remembering requires action, a commitment to learn the lessons of history taught to us by conflicts past. Forgetting is so much easier, and it’s a trap many of us fall into, instead focusing our attention on our personal hopes and dreams, while overlooking those who made that potential future possible. The act of remembrance shouldn’t be optional or relegated to an annual ritual. Remembrance Day is more than just facts and figures; it is part of our living past. It is the responsibility of each generation and every individual to keep the memory alive. Lest we forget.

Better good news than negativity To the Editor: We can not express how grateful we are to live in such a beautiful community, “giving thanks� every day for the support we get from people with caring hearts. After just completing our 16th annual dinner with another great success of raising over $11,000, thanks goes out to so many: our group gals for all the great teamwork and our community for the abundance they blessed us with in their giving of food, money, help, etc. It warms our hearts with great appreciation of all the community involvement we have for our dinner. Beautiful people taking time to get involved and help. Our local firemen who came, giving their time to help out, was so nice. Guests came from all over – North Bay, Cornwall, Calgary, Smiths Falls, etc., giving help and enjoying great food and fellowship

with others. A big thanks to our local newspaper in getting the word out to people about our upcoming dinner. It is so nice to read stories to the editor of appreciation, caring and kindness in our community, rather than a lot of negative things that have been written in the past. Our experience could perhaps be a lesson of getting along in our community, rather than bickering/fighting within it that sometimes seems to take over our newspaper. We need to step back and look inside ourselves, trying kindness instead of unkindness. It does work – try understanding others feelings, bringing a little joy to them. God bless you all – please know that a hard heart does not move. Enjoy your day. Elta Watt, Arnprior and District Breast Cancer Support Group

Pipeline a threat to local water To the Editor: If you drink water, consider the risks of TransCanada’s proposed Energy East Pipeline to you and your family’s health, residence, neighbourhood, livelihood and recreation. The pipeline would carry 1.1 million barrels a day of diluted bitumen through Renfrew County from northern Alberta to Saint John, N.B. Bitumen is a naturally occurring tar-like substance that is mined, or heated and pumped out of the ground, then processed to remove the sand. “Moving bitumen by pipeline is difficult because of its inability to flow freely,� says a TransCanada fact sheet. To make it flow, bitumen is diluted with chemicals such as naphtha and diesel. However, pipelines leak and rupture. As pipelines age, they weaken from corrosion, and diluted bitument is “the most viscous, sulfurous and acidic form of oil produced today,� according to Scientific American (April 4, 2013). In addition, these pipelines “have to flow at higher pressures that may contribute to rupture.� The natural gas pipeline being converted to carry the diluted bitumen has already ruptured in Ontario: the Feb. 19, 2011 explosion and fire near Beardmore; the Sept. 26, 2009, explosion near Marten River; and the Sept. 12, 2009 explosion and fire near Englehart. The Scientific American article says: “Even brand-new pipelines can spring a leak: TransCanada’s Keystone I Pipeline, which began carrying dilbit from Alberta to the U.S. Midwest in 2010, has already suffered 14 different leaks.� According to globalnews.ca, “Alberta’s had an average of two crude oil spills a day, every day for the past 37 years.� In Renfrew County, the Energy East Pipeline

would cross the Bonnechere River, the Madawaska River, Hanson Creek, Waba Creek and the Mississippi River. What happens when diluted bitumen leaks into water? When 877,000 U.S. gallons of diluted bitumen leaked into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River on July 26, 2010, the liquid chemicals dispersed after two weeks and the bitumen sank to the bottom of the river. It is still being cleaned up. Reality contradicted the prediction from a lab experiment commissioned by Enbridge, which “attempted to simulate the conditions that exist in the environment,� and found that most of the oil remained on the water’s surface after 11 days. The model failed to include “a crucial element - suspended material such as sediment and organic matter - found in virtually every body of water. Sand, clay and floating plant matter can drag down floating oil.� (insideclimatenews.org, March 14, 2013). York University history professor Sean Kheraj, who has documented Alberta pipeline spills for 40 years, says: “Even a relatively small spill in a critical body of water can have enormously detrimental effects on people and wildlife.� Do you drink coffee?

Conservatives feather their nest at expense of veterans’ welfare To the Editor: MP Cheryl Gallant has a lot of explaining to do. Last year, her Conservative government found money to increase spending in the Prime Minister’s Office, yet it cut funds for veterans’ funerals. In 2012-2013, after 10 years of fairly steady funding, the Last Post Fund, which helps pay for veterans’ funerals, was cut by a whopping 21.8 per cent. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister increased his own office budget by 7.4 per cent. Instead of money for our fallen heroes, the Harper Conservatives are spending Canadians’ tax dollars on PMO staff and spin. It has long been inappropriate that the Last

Post Fund’s outdated criteria excludes all but a few veterans since the Korean War, depriving them of a dignified funeral and burial because of financial means. Yet, it is simply insulting that this government has chosen to invest in additional staff to control their caucus members and their message – in the midst of the ongoing PMO-Senate scandal – instead of our courageous women and men in uniform, who have made great sacrifices in the service of this country. Mrs. Gallant needs to re-think her priorities. Our veterans should be looked after with care and respect, not nickel and dimed. Jim Karygiannis, MP Liberal Party Veterans Affairs Critic

Death of bees symptom of a larger problem with insecticides To the Editor: This refers to the article ‘Insecticide linked to mass die-off of bees’, Arnprior ChronicleGuide, Nov. 7. To quote this article: “In September Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) issued to farmers a series of recommendations against certain in-

secticides known as neonicotinoids.” This article continues: “Is it enough to recommend against the usage of neonicotinoids?” As a farmer (beekeeper), I have read this ‘Notice of Intent’ bulletin from Health Canada’s PMRA and do not see or read any such recommendations against the use of ‘neonics’.

The only recommendation, as I read it, is that PMRA is “requiring the use of safer dust-reducing seed from lubricants.” During 2012, PMRA received a significant number of honey bee mortality reports from across Canada, primarily from “beekeepers in corn-growing regions of Ontario involving over 40 beekeepers and 240 different bee yard locations.” PMRA’s research found “approximately 70 per cent of the affected area bee samples tested positive for residues of neonicotinoid insecticides used to treat corn seeds. Interestingly, the following comments are “food for thought” on the subject of neonicotinoids. PMRA has yet to release bee mortality data for 2013, yet we are aware of major losses amongst some beekeepers, e.g. one beekeeper near Stratford lost all of his hives – 600. This likely represents 25 million bees, not counting the wild bees, butterflies, birds ingesting these poisons. Many think of Mexico as being laggards on

the banning of DDT, etc. Well, apparently they have announced a moratorium on these insecticides pending the outcome of litigations; Europe has a two-year moratorium in place. Is this insecticide and its residues working up the food chain? As a beekeeper, it’s common for us to witness other insects, such as spiders, praying mantis, various flycatcher birds catching/eating our honey bees. Not to mention skunks and bears. What about human food? All beekeepers are negatively impacted by various mites, and it is my opinion that insecticides and herbicides are destroying biodiversity, weakening bee health, forcing beekeepers to shut down. It’s time for Canada to take action. Please call or email your federal MP, provincial MPP or pest management regulatory agency at 1-800267-6317 or email pmra.infoserv@hc-sc.gc.ca.

Libraries host climate change, Garlough presentations News – An expert on climate change and a photographer-writer from McNab-Braeside will be making free presentations at the Renfrew library next week. Duncan Noble, trained by former U.S. vicepresident and Nobel Laureate Al Gore and the Climate Reality Project, will present ‘Climate Realities and What We Can Do’ Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. He will be accompanied by Dorothy Garlough, who will present ‘A Glimpse in Time’, a photographic slideshow depicting past, present, and future possibilities for this region. The same presentations will be made at

the Bonnechere Union library in Eganville on Wednesday, Nov. 20, also at 7 p.m. Climate Realities is a multi-media presentation on climate change and its impacts and solutions. Noble, who draws on over 20 years of experience in engineering and business in helping reduce the carbon footprint of organizations, products and people, says that, “the training I received from Mr. Gore and The Climate Reality Project was absolutely first rate … and will raise awareness and inspire solutions and action.” Garlough - a photographer, international speaker and writer - includes creativity, col-

laborative innovation and forward thinking in her work. She says that in her presentation “the visual imagery offers a storyline that will not only educate but engage you.” The two evenings are being presented by the Bonnechere River Watershed Project, in part-

nership with the two public libraries. Financial support for the presentations has been provided in part by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Visit www.BonnechereRiver.ca for more information.

Uranium transport questioned News - NDP provincial Environment critic Jonah Schein has raised serious concerns in the Legislature about plans to ship a “dangerous mix of uranium” through the upper Ottawa Valley and eastern Ontario. Schein, the MPP for Davenport, rose in the Legislature last week to ask about a recent announcement that nuclear officials are preparing to transport a “toxic stew” of liquid bomb-grade uranium by armed convoy from Chalk River to a U.S. reprocessing site. That has alarmed nuclear safety groups on both sides of the border, he said. “What safeguards has this government put in place to protect Ontario residents from this potentially dangerous practice?” asked Schein.

Just this past August, a truck shipping radioactive cargo on the busy I-75 highway near Troy, Ohio caught fire, he noted. Yet despite the fiery emergency, nuclear regulators in Canada – where the cargo originated – and in the U.S. were not informed of the incident, charged Schein. Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli responded by maintaining this type of incident won’t happen in Ontario. “Will this government provide hard evidence that the transport of liquid uranium poses no danger to the public and ensure that local officials are given advanced notification of the transport of nuclear waste through their region?” asked Schein.

Nature’s nudes seen along the Macnamara Trail Lifestyle - For those of you unfamiliar with this spectacular nature trail, the Macnamara Trail lies on the west side of Arnprior in the Nopiming Game Preserve, traversing an impressive four kilometres through hardwood forests and hemlock groves. Nylene Canada Inc. generously allows the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club (www.mfnc.ca) to maintain the trail on their property. An interpretive guidebook explains what you are seeing along the trail, and boardwalks, benches, and a marsh lookout tower are features. Many types of wild creatures can be encountered near the trail. Snowshoe Hares, White-tailed Deer, Gray Squirrels, and Porcupines are regulars, and Fishers and Beavers have also been seen. Birds abound; White-breasted Nuthatch, Pileated Woodpecker, Red-breasted Nuthatch, and Blackcapped Chickadee are a few of the regulars seen and heard year-round. Because there is a mixture of conifers – White Pine, Eastern White Cedar, Balsam Fir, White Spruce – Red Squirrels are present. In winter these squirrels eat conifer seeds. They ďŹ nd these not by climbing trees but by digging down through the snow to access caches of cones hidden in late summer and fall. Piles of discarded cone scales

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way atop the snow are telltale signs Red Squirrels are present. Red Squirrels keep warm by growing thicker coats of hair during the fall. Under a luxurious coat of guard hairs lies a dense layer of underfur, which like our long johns traps body heat and keeps their wearer warmer. Recently someone encountered several Red Squirrels along the Macnamara Trail. One was the name giving red-brown but the other two were oddly pale gray. They were that colour because they were mostly hairless; it was skin not hair the observer was seeing. A month ago I received a photo of a naked Red Squirrel encountered in Ottawa. So why are naked squirrels being seen on the Macnamara Trail

and elsewhere? Has global warming reduced the need for hair? DeďŹ nitely not! There are a few reasons for naked squirrels, one being mange. Mange, which is due to parasitic skin mites, is typiďŹ ed by numerous red scabs or scaling on the skin. None of the naked squirrels had these signs. Hairlessness can be a genetic defect, but even more commonly a fungal infection causes hair loss. Apparently a wet summer/fall can create conditions favourable for infection by this fungus, a condition known as dermatophytosis. Thus, skin fungus seems the most likely suspect. NATURALIST CALENDAR

Incidentally, the Macnamara Trail is being expanded! A boardwalk will traverse the marsh from the observation tower then loop back to the main trail. You can support the trail project by purchasing the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club’s stunning ‘Wild About the Macnamara Trail’ calenMICHAEL RUNTZ dar, available on-line (www.mfnc. Unlike this well-furred individual, naked Red Squirrels have been reca) or at numerous businesses in the ported along the Macnamara Trail.

CHEO'S CARE MAKES LIFE EASIER FOR LOGAN'S FAMILY

Logan Charbonneau

Like most six-year-olds, Logan Charbonneau has a zest for life. He plays hockey with the West Nipissing Sting in his home town of Sturgeon Falls, Ontario and loves to play with Lego blocks. He loves his school, and although he can be shy when he meets new people, he always ends up loving them.

After being seen in CHEO’s Emergency department, Logan was admitted to CHEO’s 4 West medical unit where he was diagnosed with a general failure to thrive. Children who fail to thrive don't receive or are unable to take in, retain, or use the calories needed to gain weight and grow as expected.

Logan was adopted at birth. At three years old, he was diagnosed with both autism spectrum disorder and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. His parents, Tammy and Jeff, say that two of his major challenges are difficulties with sleeping and eating. For the past three years Logan has been struggling with his diet. “He has no appetite at all,” explains his father. “He would go days without asking for food.” Logan simply has not been eating enough and this has affected his overall health. His growing body needs nourishment to thrive.

Still struggling with his lack of appetite and having lost a significant amount of weight, the CHEO team wanted to find a solution that would help Logan receive the daily nourishment he needs to stay healthy and grow, as well as regain weight — all while letting him live as normal a life as possible. After testing and consultations, Logan had surgery to have a gastrotomy tube (also known as a g-tube) inserted in his stomach. A gastrotomy tube is inserted through the abdomen and delivers nutrition directly to the stomach.

Recently Logan began to complain about pain in his abdomen. For a child who doesn’t complain, this was worrisome. A trip to the local Emergency room in Sturgeon Falls ruled out physical ailments, but the problem didn’t go away. The hospital’s pediatrician suggested Logan should be seen at CHEO.

After a four week stay at CHEO, Logan was well enough to go home to Sturgeon Falls. To prepare for their return back home and the required follow ups, the family connected with CHEO pediatrician, Dr. Ann Rowan-Legg, who knew their doctor back home. Dr. Rowan-Legg provided the support and medical follow up required for a smooth and thorough transition.

Jeff and Tammy were very impressed with the level of care and concern shown at CHEO.

“

“From the minute we walked into the Emergency department it’s been an amazing experience,” remembers Jeff. “They’re kind. They’re thorough. They ask a lot of questions and they answer all of our questions.”

From the minute we walked into the Emergency department it’s been an amazing experience.

”

“She not only put the wheels in motion, she made sure it was done at a pace that we’re comfortable with,” says Jeff. “It’s all based on what’s best for Logan.” The medical team consulted with the support services they use in Sturgeon Falls to make sure they were set up to take care of Logan when the family went home. “The only thing we’re concerned about while we’re here is him. The rest is taken care of by CHEO,” says Jeff. Tammy adds, “They’ve been one step ahead.” Logan’s home life will change a little bit but within a few months he should be back to the same active life. Now his parents know that he’ll have all the nourishment he needs. “There have been times in hockey he couldn’t even finish a game because he was too tired,” says Tammy. Teasing Logan, she adds, “Now you can get strong for hockey!” Thanks to CHEO, Logan can look forward to hockey and so much more.

Celebrate St. Andrew’s Day in style at first-ever medieval feast Heather Lang

Events - Ah, the stuff of legends — Sir Gawain and the Green Giant, Beowulf, the Knights of the Round Table, Maid Marian, Merlin the Magician, even St. Andrew. A number of legends revolve around this disciple. Take Cyprus. Tradition holds that a ship which was transporting St. Andrew went off course and ran aground. Upon coming ashore, Andrew struck the rocks with his staff, at which point a spring of healing waters gushed forth. Using it, the sight of the ship’s captain, who had been blind in one eye, was restored. Thereafter, the site became a place of pilgrimage and a fortified monastery stood there in the 12th century, from which Isaac Comnenus negotiated his surrender to Richard the Lionheart. In the 15th century, a small chapel was built close to the shore. The main monastery of the current church dates to the 18th century. Other pilgrimages are more recent. The story is told that in 1895, the son of a Maria Georgiou was kidnapped. Seventeen years later, St. Andrew appeared to her in a dream, telling her to pray for her son’s return at the monastery. Living in Anatolia, she embarked on the crossing to Cyprus on a very crowded boat. REUNITED

Telling her story during the journey, one of the passengers, a young Dervish priest, became more and more interested. Asking if her son had any distinguishing marks, he stripped off

his cloths to reveal the same marks, and mother and son were thus reunited. Then there’s the legend of how St. Andrew came to be appointed Scotland’s patron saint. In 832 AD, Óengus II led an army of Picts and Scots into battle against the Angles, led by Æthelstan, near modern-day Athelstaneford, East Lothian. The legend states that he was heavily outnumbered and hence whilst engaged in prayer on the eve of battle, Óengus vowed that if granted victory he would appoint St. Andrew as the patron saint of Scotland. On the morning of battle, white clouds forming an X shape in the sky were said to have appeared. Óengus and his combined force, emboldened by this apparent divine intervention, took to the field and despite being inferior in numbers, were victorious. Having interpreted the cloud phenomenon as representing the crux decussata upon which St. Andrew was crucified, Óengus honoured his pre-battle pledge. The white saltire set against a celestial blue background is said to have been adopted as the design of the flag of Scotland on the basis of this legend. However, there is evidence that Andrew was venerated in Scotland before this. Andrew’s connection with Scotland may have been reinforced following the Synod of Whitby, when the Celtic Church felt that Columba had been “outranked” by Peter and that Peter’s brother would make a higher-ranking patron.

The national church of the Scottish people in Rome, Sant’Andrea degli Scozzesi, is dedicated to St. Andrew. A local superstition uses the cross of Saint Andrew as a hex sign on the fireplaces in northern England and Scotland to prevent witches from flying down the chimney and

entering the house to do mischief. By placing the St. Andrew’s cross on one of the fireplace posts or lintels, witches are prevented from entering through this opening. In this case, it is similar to the use of a witch ball, although the cross will actively prevent witches from entering, and the witch ball will passively delay or entice the witch, and perhaps entrap it. But enough of legends. Let’s make our own.

Glasgow family made ultimate sacrifice in First World War Laurie Dougherty Arnprior & McNab-Braeside Archives

Lifestyle - The Affleck family of Glasgow Station may well be remembered by some long-time residents of McNab-Braeside Township for its contribution to the Great War. Three of five sons of John and Lillian Affleck served in WWI; one returned but later died as a result of his efforts while two died overseas. Robert Kay Affleck was the first son to join up with the 1st Canadian Mounted Rifles (CMR) of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces at the age of 30. His attestation papers show that he was part of the 28th Light Horse Battalion in Saskatchewan at the time of enlistment. His regiment, along with the 4th CMR, were manning the front line when the German forces launched their assault at Mt. Sorrell in the Ypres Salient on June 2, 1916. Private Robert Kay Affleck died on the battlefield on June 5, 1916. His name, along with 55,000 others, appears on the Menin Gate Memorial located on the eastern side of the town of Ypres. Robert’s younger brother Raymond, a graduate of Arnprior High School, had qualified to be a teacher when he travelled to Montreal to enlist with the Royal Highlanders of Canada in 1915. As part of the 73rd Battalion of the Royal Highlanders, he arrived in France in August 1916. In less than two years, he had travelled from the family farm to the slopes of Vimy Ridge where he died on the first day of the battle, April 9, 1917. To capture the ridge, the Canadian Corps had to cover open ground supported by heavy guns and howitzers. The Allies had prepared for this attack and had clear objectives to capture the stronghold, which had been held by the German forces for three years. Lance Corporal Raymond Affleck is one of 47 Canadians buried in the CaberetRouge British Cemetery in the valley of the Souchez River, west of Vimy Ridge. John ‘Jack’ Affleck graduated from Arnprior High School in 1907 and went on to study medicine at McGill University. He joined the Medical Corps in 1916 immediately after graduation with the rank of

Stationed in Taplow, England, he tended the wounded at the Duchess of Connaught Red Cross Hospital. He also served with the Canadian Field Ambulance attached to the 58th Battalion, which fought as part of the 9th Infantry Brigade in France and Flanders. For his dedicated service to his country, John Ernest Affleck was awarded the Military Cross and Bar. He returned to Canada in 1920 and established a medical practice in Penticton, British Columbia. Captain Affleck died in February 1938 from a kidney ailment contracted over-seas. Here at home, parents John and Lillian, brothers Gordon and Archie, as well as sisters Margaret, Jessie and Mildred mourned the loss of their loved ones. Mrs. Affleck was an active member and president of the Glasgow Women’s Institute. During the war, Institute members knit sweaters and socks for the soldiers fighting at the front with wool supplied by the Red

Lost hunter helps his own cause Shooting injuries prompt DOMESTIC DISPUTES

Renfrew OPP officers responded to eight domestic disputes last week. One man was charged with two counts of assault, and one woman was charged with breach of a recognizance. The calls were among 215 calls for service OPP received last week. BUSINESS CHARGED

Urban Planet has been charged again for being open on a statutory holiday. Renfrew OPP report that following an investigation a charge had been laid under the Retail Business Holiday Act against the Renfrew store. OPP Constable Mark Yarmel observed Urban Planet, a retail clothing business, to be open and making sales on Thanksgiving day. The store’s general manager was issued a

summons to appear in court in Renfrew charged with openly selling goods on a holiday, contrary to the Act. The case will appear on the court docket in Renfrew on Nov. 22. BEWARE SOLICITORS

OPP are urging residents to be aware of their rights when it comes to people soliciting door-to-door. Police have responded to several complaints in both Arnprior and Renfrew concerning aggressive and rude solicitors at people’s homes. The solicitors are demanding to see past hydro or energy bills, and are reluctant to leave when directed to do so. “If you don’t want someone at your door, direct them to leave,” advise police. “If they refuse to leave, they can be charged.” To report an aggressive solicitor, call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

police safety warning News – After eight shooting injuries in the first week of deer season, the OPP and Ministry of Natural Resources are appealing to hunters to follow safe firearm practices. OPP officers reports they responded to eight hunting related shootings last week. All of the shootings were preventable and resulted from basic firearms safety rules not being followed, they say. “Although the majority of hunters are responsible and follow firearm safety regulations, it is important for all hunters to constantly be diligent regarding practicing the firearm safety rules,” said

OPP Superintendent Chris Wyatt. “Hunters must exercise safety when handling their weapons and should always take into account the safety of others.” While hunting, firearms must always be pointed in a safe direction with the safety ‘on’ until you are ready to safely shoot the weapon. Your finger should never be on the trigger until you have identified your target, sighted it and you are ready to shoot, say police. “Anyone who discharges a firearm is responsible for the round coming from their weapon and they must be

sure of their target. “Always be aware that you are sharing the forest with other hunters, as well as hikers, riders and bird watchers. “Also, hunters are required to wear bright orange clothing that meets regulations, which readily identifies themselves to others that might be hunting in the same area.” When not in use, firearms must be unloaded and safely secured (locked with a trigger lock) and ammunition must also be safely secured and stored, remind police. Most of the shootings reported were south of Arnprior, including one in Montague, near Smiths Falls. R0012414749

News – The search for a missing hunter had a happy ending last week thanks in part to him being properly prepared for such a incident. Renfrew OPP report the lost hunter was found safe and sound at about 5 a.m. in Greater Madawaska. The 45-year-old man realized he was lost deep in the bush about 2 p.m. Nov. 6. When he had not been located by 9 p.m., police were called. The search ended well for several reasons, say police. “He had supplies with him, he had a walkie-talkie to communicate with, and he stopped wandering when he realized he was lost and waited for help to arrive.” The OPP Emergency Response Team and a Canine Unit were dispatched to the scene, and co-ordinated the search.

Man rescued from pick-up in ditch Theresa Fritz theresa.fritz@metroland.com

News – A driver was taken to hospital early on Nov. 6 after his pick-up went off Highway 417 east of Arnprior. “At approximately 1:23 a.m., the Ottawa Fire Services responded to the 417 eastbound near Galetta Side Road for a single vehicle collision with a person trapped,” said Ottawa Fire Services public information office Marc Messier.

“A tow truck driver had come across the collision about five kilometres east of Arnprior and stayed with the injured driver until emergency crews arrived.” Upon arrival, firefighters found a Ford F150 on its side with a male in his 40s trapped in the vehicle.

SUBMITTED

Arnprior District High School graduate Grace Glofcheskie continues her play with the University of Guelph Gryphons women’s golf team this year as captain. Above is the entire 2013 University of Guelph Gryphons golf team. time for golf practice this year. It was the first time she didn’t return to Arnprior for the summer, too, so that translated into more golf time at Cutten Fields Golf Club working to improve her game. And although she’s played on courses near and far, home club Arnprior Golf Club in Sand Point remains near and dear to her heart. For now, Glofcheskie is taking a bit of a break, but fitness work and training will begin soon with an eye on next year’s season with the Gryphons. There’s a chance she may be able to play at the nationals in June as part of a wild card stipulation, so she intends to be prepared. She’ll likely learn by late April/early May whether she gets a spot. “I’ll be doing swinging analysis – doing things like hitting into nets and physical fitness stuff will be ongoing,” she said. “My goal is to keep getting better as an individual.” Her leadership role has led to increased confidence on and off the course, she said. Glofcheskie’s study focus

has been on spinal anatomy and lower back pain. Some of her research has been focused on the golf swing in relation to lower back pain and she said she really enjoyed learning about that and will continue with an eye on that area of the health field. With her family, including one sibling at ADHS, still in Arnprior and her roots firmly here, Glofchskie often travels back and speaks highly of her hometown. On a recent trip home, she was able to return to the Arnprior Golf Course, where she also worked for seven years, for a golf game with her sister and two brothers. It’s a memory she treasures. As for her success, she credits the people who helped along the way, including supporters of various and future fundraising efforts. “I’ve had a very supportive community, a supportive family and a supportive golf club,” she said. “Definitely having that backing helps me to keep going and reach to achieve my goals.”

Sports – It has been a banner year on the golf green for Arnprior’s Grace Glofcheskie. The Arnprior District High School graduate and Arnprior native just wrapped the regular season of play as captain of the University of Guelph Gryphons women’s golf team. She has had a record-setting year personally, nabbing five top10 finishes as an individual in six starts and marking several personal bests. “We were in a bit of a transition year because our entire team, except myself, was made up of rookies,” said Glofcheskie. “For quite awhile there had been quite a few senior players.” And while she certainly missed the retired players, she was proud to step up and take the captain role. “I was able to step into the leadership role,” reported Glofcheskie, who said she hoped she was able to help some of her teammates in the way she was in the past supported by veteran players. At the recent Ontario University Athletics championships, held at the University of Waterloo, the team struggled a bit, though Glofcheskie was pleased with her top-20 finish. Glofcheskie, a fourth year student, is studying for her Master of Science degree in Human Health and Nutritional Sciences and completes her research at the Dr. Stephen Brown laboratory. Having finished undergraduate study meant she had more

ADHS defeats RCI to capture another girls basketball title John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Sports – The Arnprior District High School junior girls basketball team won their second straight Renfrew County championship with a 45-25 victory over arch-rival RCI Nov. 7. The team came out firing on the home court, building up a big lead early. It was the fourth junior girls basketball title for ADHS in five years. Grace Barr led the Redmen with 12 points and Sydney Friske added 11. Coach Dan Lavallee said the team came out the gate quickly, sinking several long-range shots to grab the advantage early. As well as deadly three-point shooting, “great rebounding” also contributed significantly to the team’s win, he noted. ADHS never trailed in the game and put any thoughts of an RCI comeback with another three-pointer with three minutes left to put the Redmen up 42-24. By winning the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association championship, ADHS qualifies for the EOSSAA tournament at Perth District Collegiate Institute Wednesday (after press deadline). Lavallee expected that ADHS would be ranked third in the six-team competition. As well as a 9-0 regular season record and two playoff wins, the ADHS girls were an impressive 20-1 overall including tournament play. “It (EOSSAS) will be a tough challenge … but we’ve played well against this all competition,” said Lavallee. The team will be graduating five players to the senior Redmen next year, but with eight returning expect to be in the title hunt again next year.

Jr. B Packers post a win, loss over weekend Sean Marcellus

Sports - The Arnprior Packers were up and down over the past weekend, defeating the red hot Perth Blue Wings 6-5 last Friday then falling to the Clarence Beavers 9-2 Sunday afternoon in Eastern Junior B hockey action. Starting with the good, the Packers hit the road Nov. 8 to take on the Blue Wings.Down

1-0 just over a minute into the game, the Packers rallied when Chris Marchand scored his second of the season to tie the score 1-1. Perth scored two more in the period to put the Packers down 3-1 after the first period. The second period would be owned by Arnprior, as Packers captain John McLean would score just 27 seconds in to make it a one-goal game.

Splurge

Half-way through the period, Arnprior native Patrick McGrath found Tim McDonnell for a one-timer powerplay goal to tie the score 3-3. Less than a minute later, McGrath hit the back of the net as White Lake’s Dallas Farr would send him in all alone to give Arnprior a 4-3 lead. John McLean scored his second of the game on a delayed penalty just over a min-

ute into the third period to put the Packers up 5-3. Perth answered back four minutes Arnprior later as EOJHL Renfrew leading scorer Stittsville Zac Rodier tipped Perth a point shot past Almonte Packers goaltender Shawville Erik Miksik to get Perth within one. The Packers regained the two-goal cushion when Tim McDonnell stripped the Perth defenseman and scored his second goal of the game. Perth scored a later goal with the extra attacker, but that would be as close as they would get, as Arnprior squeaked away with a hard-fought 6-5 victory. Goaltender Erik Miksik made 43 saves in the victory. Sunday afternoon would not be as friendly to the Packers, as they would fall 9-2 to the Metro Division’s second-place Clarence Beavers.

Veterans deserve to be helped to find meaningful jobs: poll

SUBMITTED

A vet’s memories Arnprior veteran Doug Calder said his memories of war give him a special reason to wear a poppy each Remembrance Day. The WWII veteran has made two return trips to Europe, each complete with appearances by Princess Margriet of the Netherlands. Above is one of Calder’s snapshots of the princess. On his next trip, he presented the princess with a copy of the above photo.

81 per cent of Canadians think first of veter- veterans of the CAF tran- the private sector. For more ans of the First and Second World Wars on sitioning from military ca- information, visit Veterans. Remembrance Day, rather than veterans of reers to civilian careers in gc.ca. more recent conflicts. “Ottawa is a military town, and we’ve always supported our men and women in uniform. Now it’s time to get behind our veterans when they take off the uniform and return to civilian life. They deserve it,” said Paul Guindon of Commissionaires Ottawa. Meanwhile, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, in her latest report from Parliament, responds to growing anger over treatment of veterans by the federal government by pointing out that new legislation intends to provide to medically released veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces injured in service to Canada the top level of priority consideration for job openings in the public service. “Medically released veterans have made 8Vgg^Zg d[ i]Z Bdci] a significant sacrifice in their service to Canada and they have the skills, training and experience that make them ideal candidates to continue strengthening Canada E^ooV E^ooV through public service,” she said. ^h egdjY Bell Canada also jumped on the bandid d[[Zg wagon, announcing Monday that it has joined the federal government’s Hire a Veteran initiative and will give qualified Canadian veterans priority in hiring across Bell V ;G:: operations. The company noted that many of the B:9>JB E>OO6 technical and other skills veterans acquire ID ?68D7 during their service are an asset to Bell.

The survey also indicates that 72 per cent of Canadians believe that in the last five years, veterans have faced difficulties making the transition to civilian jobs. In fact, 54 per cent of respondents believe it is more difficult for today’s veterans to find civilian jobs than it was for veterans of the First and Second World Wars. As well, nearly 70 per cent of respondents believe that the skills of today’s veterans are relevant and transferable. There were minor variances in the Ontario results, relative to the national average. In particular, Ontarians believed more strongly that veterans in the last five years had found it difficult to find civilian jobs after serving in the military (77 per cent for Ontarians versus the 72 per cent national average).

News - An annual Nanos national survey released last week demonstrates overwhelming public support for veterans as they make the transition from military life to a civilian career. For the second consecutive year, 94 per cent of those surveyed continue to believe that Canadians have an obligation to ensure veterans find meaningful employment after they’ve finished their service in the Canadian Armed Forces. “Canadians clearly feel strongly that vets deserve our support, during and after their military service,” noted Bill Sutherland, National Board Chair of the Ottawa-based Commissionaires, the group that released the survey. “We’ve been hiring vets since 1925, so we know just how highly skilled and talented they are.”

Mary’s brothers always argued over hand-me-down box ming his stockinged feet into the shoes. He was getting red in the face, and it didn’t take a genius to see that the shoes were a good inch shorter than Emerson’s enormous feet, but he was going to own them and that’s all there was to it. Before there was any further discussion, he carried the shoes upstairs and put them under the bed he shared with Earl and dared anyone to lay a finger on them! He never once tried them on all week, but every night he brought them downstairs and rubbed them with an old piece of long ‘johns’ from the rag bag. “I’ll be wearing those to church on Sunday,� he announced every night. Well, Sunday came, and after the morning chores, we all got dressed for church. Emerson came downstairs, walking like he had a bag of potatoes under his pants, but wearing the new shoes. Mother asked him why he was walking so funny, and he said he was breaking in the shoes. My sister Audrey said under her breath, “I think the shoes are breaking in him!� He hobbled into church, hobbled out, and could barely make it back into the house when we got home where he fell into the nearest chair and pulled off the new shiny black shoes. He let out a sigh of relief and then pulled off his socks. “What happened to your toes?� I asked

all. He was in his usual position in front of the Findlay Oval, half asleep in the rocking chair. But that night Audrey and I joined the circle as piece after piece of boy’s clothes, along with pants and jackets that had belonged to Uncle Jack, were taken out. Down in the very bottom was a pair of men’s shiny shoes. Well! Emerson grabbed them before anyone else had a chance and claimed them as his own. The brothers had a pair each of well worn laced boots kept for church, and gum rubbers, which they wore to school. Never had any of the three owned a pair of shiny black leather shoes. Everett thought because he was the oldest, they should belong to him. Emerson roared that he saw them first, and said there would be a ‘roary’ eyed fight if Everett tried to claim them. “They don’t look like they fit you,� Mother said. There was no doubt Emerson was bigger by far than Everett, but Emerson already had his gum rubbers off and cram-

him. They were as red as a beet and he had to use his fingers to unbend them. Everett was ready to claim the shoes when Emerson said he could buy them if he wanted, but he certainly wasn’t getting them for nothing! “They are my shoes, and they stay my shoes until you pay for them,� Emerson said, rubbing his toes trying to get the cramps out of them. Well, that’s when Mother entered the fray. She got up from the kitchen table, walked over to where Emerson and the new shiny black shoes were, grabbed them off the floor, and handed them to Everett. She never said a word. She didn’t have to. Everett slipped off his laced boots, and even with heavy grey work socks, he was able to slip his feet in easily. They fit him like they had been made for him. Emerson hardly spoke to Everett for three days. The hand-me-down box never arrived that there wasn’t an argument over who was to get what. Only when the brothers came to blows and were rolling around on the floor, clutching the piece of clothing the fight was over, would Mother call a halt. She could stand just so much of the carry-on, and then she would give each a slap on the side of the head, or a yank on an ear, while Father, sitting in his rocking chair, never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal.

Lifestyle – The station master had called that morning. It didn’t matter what Father had planned for the day, it would have to be put on hold. More important was going into Renfrew and bringing home the hand-me-down box that had arrived from Regina. When we got home from school, there it was, sitting in the middle of the kitchen ‌ a big square wooden box that at one time had held bulk tea. It was lined with a kind of foil, and until it was opened after supper, there it would sit with its lid nailed shut. Of course, we didn’t lay a finger on it until after the kitchen had been ‘redded’ up, and our hands washed. I was never sure why we had to wash our hands before we could touch a dirty wood box that had come all the way from Regina on the train! Finally, we were ready. We sat around the box on kitchen chairs while Everett pried the lid off with a crowbar. There would be nothing in it but boy’s clothes, since Aunt Lizzie, the sender of the hand-me-down box had only sons, and there was really nothing in the box to interest my sister Audrey and me. So often we chose to sit at the kitchen table looking through Eaton’s catalogue while my three brothers and Mother pawed through the big box of clothes. Father, of course, showed no interest at

Community – Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) can cry “euchreâ€? after receiving a cheque from Kinburn and District Seniors. The seniors raised $1,000 for the town hospital’s Partners In Caring campaign during a series of card games. It is the go-to hospital for many in the northwestern side of Ottawa’s Ward 5 when it comes to their family doctor’s office, emergency services, radiology and free mammography examinations. The Kinburn group’s Gerry Leveque was pleased to be part of the presentation during a luncheon with some 45 others at the community centre on Oct. 2. “So many people from this area depend on the Arnprior hospital for their medical needs,â€? Leveque said. “From here and Fitzroy Harbour, historically and now, it has been important.â€? The group learned about ARH’s home support service. Called Assisted Living Services Program, it helps fulfill the provincial government’s goal to keep seniors living independently in their own homes rather than in costly hospital beds. Co-ordinated by the Grove Nursing Home, this new program offers: • personal support (dressing, help with bathing, personal hygiene, nail care and hair washing); See VOLUNTEERS Page 35

The Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program’s Keep the Wheels Turning campaign in support of the care coach has reached its goal. The Carp Ridge Learning Centre made a donation of $3,024.50 on Oct. 23 to bring the total to $30,000. From left are Seniors at Home board member and development committee chair Phyllis Doherty-Hereford, executive director Dennis Harrington and Jacqui Ehninger-Cuervo, president of the Carp Ridge Learning Centre. While the care coach, which has made more than 10,000 trips for seniors and people with special needs since it began running in 2008, is centred in Arnprior, trips to West Carleton and other rural areas are increasing, prompting the contribution from the Carp-based organization. “It shows how important this service is to not only Arnprior and McNab-Braeside but also to West Carleton,” said Harrington. “We are slowly increasing service (there).” Ehninger-Cuervo said the Seniors at Home’s series of education programs seniors fits in well with her organization’s efforts to improving the health of the community.

It is smiles all around as Sarah Robertson of Prior Engagements, Party and Event Rentals was thanked by members of the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home Program for her generosity of naming the local agency recipient of the donations made during her annual Bliss Wedding Show Nov. 3 at the Nick Smith Centre.

The assisted living program isn’t available to West Carleton residents, ARH’s Wendy Knechtel told the group. She encouraged them to contact local politicians and press for the service. “If there’s enough interest here, I’m sure we’ll bring services to the area,” Knechtel said. “The ministry wants to keep people out of hospital and in their homes.”

A question from the group had to do with palliative care at Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. Knechtel said the hospital doesn’t have a full-fledged program like Renfrew’s, but there is a bed and one nurse dedicated to palliative on a part-time basis. She ended her time with the group by calling for volunteers. ARH has a need for volunteers in many areas, including at the thrift store Opportunity Shop on John Street in Arnprior, she said.

TD Arnprior continues support for veterans For several years now, TD Arnprior has hosted special displays and a social event to honour local veterans. Above, the bank’s staff members join veterans at the Nov. 8 event, during which they reminisced and enjoyed refreshments. Staff members and bank customers took time to chat with the men and thank them for their service. The veterans had various mementoes and photographs on display. George Freeman, at right, a navigator who flew in B-25 Mitchell Bombers in WW II, had a memory book on display that included this photo taken just before he sailed to Europe.

Arnprior author releases his second book Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Community – After years of technical writing that included manuals and instruction sheets – Arnprior’s Don Dewar is now doing the kind of writing he loves. Dewar, who writes under the pseudonym Don Seymour, has just released his second novel, A False Perception. Dewar grew up between Arnprior and Renfrew, near the Lochwinnoch area. He actually graduated as a biochemical technologist but instead went on to work in finance at the Bank of Nova Scotia and later at Revenue Canada. A lot of his first book, A Mortal Deception, was based on case studies within his employment and this time he’s used more of his own ideas. His writing career realizes a long-time dream. “I always wanted to write a book, from high school on, then kids and careers came along and you don’t have time,� said Dewar. Writing a book become a bucket-list item shelved away for retirement and now that’s he’s working on his third book, it’s safe to say he’s reached his goal. His own favourite authors

include Clive Cussler and Robert Ludlum. His books follow the same suspense/ thriller style of the writers he admires. The process itself has become a regular part of Dewar’s life. “When I’m busy at it, it’s about six hours a day,� he said. And because he took shop and not typing – it was one or the other back when he was in high school – his typing skills are minimal and he uses voice recognition software to write. “I just sit and talk and tell a story,� he said. “Once you get started, it just offshoots.� Going back over the copy and fixing errors and rereading chapters is a time-consuming but necessary part of the process, said Dewar. He spends winters in Florida with his wife and the writing continues while he’s away. While his last books were published in the United States, he was pleased to work with this time with local company General Store Publishing House. “They were quite good,� said Dewar, who added support from editors is crucial to a good finished product. Once editors have had the first look, Dewar’s family members – wife and two chil-

dren – usually are privy to an early look at the project. Now that he’s knee-deep in writing the third book is the process getting easier? “If anything it’s getting a bit tougher,� said Dewar. “I’ve used a lot of my ideas. It takes more research as each book goes on.� Promotion for A False Perception says: “You don’t mess with Joe Crewman. You especially don’t kidnap his good friend’s daughter and expect to get away with it. Joe, his sidekick Leroy, and Leroy’s son Seth get into some serious ass-kicking in this suspenseful story of good guys, bad guys, and Dumb and Dumber. You will never again look at an innocent barn, farmhouse, or mosque in quite the same way.� The books are available on all five e-reader programs and can be found at the Arnprior Book Shop and at Reid’s in Carleton Place.

Right, Arnprior author Don Dewar, who writes under the pseudonym Don Seymour, shows off his second book A False Perception. The book is on sale at the Arnprior Book Shop and available on all five e-reader programs. SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Lifestyle - Does a child in your household struggle with worries and anxiety? If so, please join us at the Arnprior Public Library on Tuesday, Nov. 26 as we partner with independent child and youth counsellor Julie Clarke to explore practical solutions for helping children deal with the many stressors in their lives. One topic that will be discussed is the practice of mindfulness. “Mindfulness is used as a clinical tool in mental health that teaches individuals, including children and youth, how to maintain a moment-by-moment awareness of personal thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and surrounding environment,” notes Clarke. Mindfulness practice also includes teaching visual mental queues that help an individual to slow down unhelpful and unhealthy thoughts. Mindfulness can be done anywhere at any time. The event is geared for families with children ranging in age from 6 to 12, and is designed for

Joys of holiday shopping for cookware Ian Harris

Weight management, Opinion - Christmas, a time of giving and a time of confusion! Cookware, knives, stand mixers, food processors, blenders, etc. Decisions, decisions, decisions. As a personal chef I have consulted on both commercial and residential kitchen equipment and would like to help you with your gift-giving ideas. There’s nothing like a good set of pots, the true work horse of the kitchen. Since stainless steel is a poor conductor of heat, manufacturers solder an encapsulated aluminum plate onto the bottom of a pot or pan to allow for better heat distribution. The Kuraidori cookware is comprised of three layers, stainless steel interior and exterior, and a middle layer of aluminum. This aluminum is wrapped throughout the pot or pan instead of just at the bottom, which creates superb heat distribution throughout the entire vessel and prevents cold spots, therefore, cooking food to perfection. My choice would be the Kuraidori Stainless Steel 3 Ply cookware sold in a convenient 11-piece set or per piece. They are dishwasher and oven safe. I have to admit that they look and feel as good as my more expensive commercial pots and pans that have encap-

wellness and nutrition sulated aluminum bottoms. Knives - without them a profession chef or home chef could not perform the necessary tasks of cutting, slicing and dicing and contrary to what people say are safer to use (trust me on this one) than cheaper blunt knives. Cheap knives have to be forced through food instead of gliding through food. Kuraidori has a line of kitchen knives that are NSF approved. The National Sanitation Foundation is awarded to a product that meets or exceeds certain standards. All commercial equipment must bear an NSF seal. One of my favourites is an induction cook top. Induction is a process that creates friction with a metal, your pot or pan, causing a build-up of heat. Water can be boiled in about 90 seconds. The best part of the cook top is that once a pot or pan is removed, you can touch the cook top without getting burned. It is one cook top that is great around children. I usually have two induction cook tops with me when I perform a service. They are truly indispensable in the kitchen.

My choice would be the NuWave Precision Cook Top. Stand mixers - I could not live without my stand mixer. There are many to choose from. My choice is the Quisinart (although a bit more expensive, purchase the seven-quart instead of the five-quart). They have a fabulous warranty and great customer service. I also own a KitchenAid as a back-up, but I would not recommend a KitchenAid product due to poor customer service and warranties that they do not back up. As for blenders and food processors, nothing performs like a NINJA. I have tried KitchenAid (gave it away to a friend) and I own a large Quisinart (which I like), but for the price and quality, nothing chops, blends, purees, etc. better than a NINJA and they’re more versatile than the NutriBullet. NINJA makes the best breakfast smoothies! For more information on products and retailers, refer to www.ianharris.ca/gifts.

He holds many other certification and specialties within nutrition and specializes in lifestyle and weight management. He can be reached at Ian Harris Wellness & Nutrition at 613-863-6325.

Mental health and addictions nurses help students through CCAC program Community - Students sometimes face social and educational pressures that may result in mental health or addictions issues. Schools are at the forefront of dealing with these concerns. However, they often lack the resources to help each and every student. The Champlain Community Care Access Centre’s (CCAC) mental health and addictions nurses work with school boards and community partners to support students with mental health and addictions needs to stay and succeed in school. Thomas Berrigan is one of two mental health and addictions nurses that have been helping local students since January. “We work with all publicly funded schools in Renfrew County from JK to Grade 12, ages 3 to 21,” he said. “We visit them as often as needed depending on each student’s individual treatment.” Mental health and addictions nurses complement the programs already provided by schools

and community-based organizations. This support includes one-on-one meetings with students, providing short-term therapy, helping students understand their medications, and educating students and their families about mental health and addictions. “If a student, parent or teacher has concerns about another student, they should speak with the school’s administrator,” explained Berrigan. “At this point, if the program is well-suited for the student, they will make a referral to our program.” The nurses typically contact students within 24 hours to set up a meeting to conduct an initial assessment. “The first meeting is all about building trust,” said Berrigan. “Hopefully, the students can open up to us about their concerns. After that first meeting, we can establish a care plan to help them move forward.”

Liberals continue to overspend: MPP News - Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has blasted Premier Kathleen Wynne and her provincial government for “abandoning any semblance of responsible deficit reduction and committing to spend Ontario deeper into debt.” In a news release issued Nov. 7 after the government tabled the Fall Economic Statement, Yakabuski said that “after years of reckless overspending, the Liberals keep finding new ways to outdo themselves.” The statement shows that provincial government spending continues to rise, while the deficit is expected grow from $9.2 billion last year to $11.7 billion this year. The net debt per capita, the amount that each individual Ontarian owes, now stands at $20,099 up from $18,796 a year ago. “They have missed yet another opportunity to put forward a plan that would put Ontario on the right track,” said Yakabuski. “Instead of rolling up their sleeves and actually making some tough but necessary choices, the Liberals have taken the position that if they ignore the problem long enough it will go away. “Just yesterday, the Wall Street Journal called out Ontario for having a higher debt than California,” he added. “So how does Kathleen Wynne respond? By announcing her intention to spend more taxpayer money.” In contrast, the Ontario Progressive Conservative caucus continues to encourage the government to review the “bold ideas” contained in its series of white papers, said Yakabuski, adding that the proposals are also intended to encourage public discussion and feedback. “The people of this province deserve a government that can manage its own finances, put jobs first and welcome businesses that will create opportunities for our young people,” he said. “It’s time to set Ontario up for success by changing the team that leads this province.” Meanwhile, NDP leader Andrea Horwath says she’s disappointed with the economic statement, suggesting it seems more focused on talk, than on action that will help families in tough times. “People were hoping their government would start tackling waste by closing corporate tax loopholes and capping CEO salaries, take action to protect jobs like those in manufacturing and resources, make life affordable for people hit with higher and higher bills,” said Horwath. “Instead, they got warmed over promises and the same old status quo from a government that seems more interested in holding onto power than delivering for the people who elected them.”

Bidders are encouraged to inspect all items of interest for condition and suitability prior to bidding. All items to be sold on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” basis. There is no warranty or guarantee expressed or implied on any items. Bids MUST be submitted on the forms provided at the site viewing or acquired from the Purchasing Department. Bids MUST be received before 11:00:00am on Friday, November 22, 2013 to be considered. Successful bidders MUST remove all vehicles by Friday, December 6, 2013.

Every year, many military members transition out of the Canadian Armed Forces. For those Canadian Armed Forces members who cannot deploy and meet the demands of operations, finding meaningful employment is a key factor in making a successful transition to civilian life.

Those full-time Regular or Reserve Force Veterans who release for non-service-related medical reasons will continue to receive their existing level of priority. However, the duration of their access will be increased from two to five years, allowing them a longer period of priority entitlement for positions.

The Renfrew County District School Board reserves the right to reject any or all tenders. The highest or any tender will not necessarily be accepted. R0012408776

REQUEST FOR TENDER RFT #2014-06

Veterans who will make use of this measure must qualify for the positions they are seeking. The changes will apply to medically released Veterans who received a priority entitlement on or after April 1, 2012. In addition to the proposed legislative and regulatory changes, the Government of Canada continues to work with corporate Canada to help Veterans find new opportunities to successfully make the transition from military to civilian life. Partnering with corporate Canada allows Veterans to put the training and skills acquired during their service to good use in the civilian workforce.

THE RCDSB IS ISSUING A REQUEST FOR TENDER FOR THE SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF HOT WATER HEATING BOILERS AT EGANVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOL. A MANDATORY site visit is scheduled for Thursday, November 21, 2013 at 10:00:00am at Eganville Public School, 259 Jane Street, Eganville, ON. Only those bidders who attend the mandatory site visit and have their attendance recorded will be eligible to submit a bid. The Request for Tender documents will be available by visiting the RCDSB Bids & Tenders webpage at bids.rcdsb.on.ca. Bidders must register as a Plan Taker before downloading the tender documents.

As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is eliminating the long gun registry, promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you! As always, if you have any concerns of a federal nature, or just want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

DOCUMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION AT 1:00:00PM ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2013. Sealed submissions, clearly labeled RFT #2014-06, will be received before 2:00:00 PM, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2013 and must be submitted to the following address:

The Renfrew County District School Board reserves the right to accept or reject any or all submissions. Lowest or any submission not necessarily accepted.

Medically released Veterans have made a significant sacrifice in their service to Canada and they have the skills, training and experience that make them ideal candidates to continue strengthening Canada through public service.

When a position becomes open in the public service, different groups have different levels of access. In spring 2014, when the legislation is expected to come into force, those Regular Force and Reserve Force members who are medically released from the Canadian Armed Forces for service-related reasons will receive a statutory priority for a period of five years. This will provide Veterans with the highest level of priority consideration for public service positions, above all other groups, in recognition of their sacrifices and service to Canada.

All vehicles are located at the RCDSB Plant Department, 1202 Pembroke St. East, Pembroke, ON, and are available for viewing on Monday, November 18, 2013 from 9:00am to 11:00am. An appointment is not required.

RENFREW COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD ATTN: Peggy Fiebig, CSCMP Purchasing Agent 1270 Pembroke Street West Pembroke, ON K8A 4G4

Pembroke, Ontario - As the Member of Parliament for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, that includes CFB Petawawa, I am pleased to confirm the announcement of new legislation intended to provide medically released Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) who were injured in service to Canada the top level of priority consideration for job openings in the public service.

On behalf of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces, I welcome this additional support for Regular Force and Reserve Force members who have sacrificed so much for our country. The goal of Canadian Armed Forces support and care is to retain as many members as possible. However, this change will provide meaningful employment options to members of the Canadian Armed Forces who are medically released.

News – The Status of Women Canada is making funds available for community projects that take action to prevent cyber and sexual violence against women and girls. “Violence against women and girls has devastating and far-reaching effects on the community,” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant in making the announcement Nov. 8. “The projects supported by this call for proposals will reduce violence against women in our communities, and reach out to those who have been affected by such violence.” Recent high-profile cases have made cyberviolence and sexual violence against females top-of-mind concerns for Canadians, noted Gallant. The call for proposals will focus on two main areas: preventing and eliminating cyberviolence (e.g. cyberbullying, Internet luring, cyberstalking) against young women and girls; and preventing or responding to sexual violence against women and girls through access to community services. Funding of up to $175,000 will be provided for projects at the local level, and up to $300,000 will be available for projects

Office contact Information: Constituency Office of Cheryl Gallant, MP, 84 Isabella St., Pembroke On. K8A 5S5 or call 7324404. There is no postage required when you write your Federal Member of Parliament. R0012414643

In loving memory of my beautiful wife Janet who left unexpectedly Nov 15,2007 As I look upon your picture; Sweet memories I recall. Of a face so full of sunshine; A smile for one and all. Though your smile is gone forever; And your hand I cannot touch. I shall never lose sweet memories; Of the love we once shared. Forever in my thoughts and always in my heart.

EGGERSTEDT, Fredrick “Fred” On November 5, 2013, Fred Eggerstedt of Grande Prairie passed away at the age of 51 years. Fred is survived by his beloved wife, Cyndi; children: Robert, Danyl, Chrystifer, Thomas, Dylan and Khloe; mother, Helene; sisters: Sandra Eggerstedt, Susan (Leonard) Hudder and Sheri (John) Vanderlinden; as well as numerous other relatives and friends. Fred was predeceased by his father, Friedo; and his grandparents. Fred was born in Arnprior, Ontario and grew up in Braeside with his parents, Helene and Friedo; and sisters: Sandra, Susan and Sheri. He attended Braeside Public School, and Arnprior District High School where he made countless friends whom he kept in contact with throughout his life. He moved to Grande Prairie, Alberta in search of a job in 1978, where he met and married his wife, Cyndi. Fred started working with Live Well Service (formerly CHW) in Grande Prairie, and eventually the company moved him to Edmonton. Together, Fred and Cyndi raised their three sons: Robert, Danyl and Chrystifer in Grande Prairie and Edmonton. In 2001 they returned to Grande Prairie, where Fred became the district manager of Live Well Service and became a captain of his industry. He was known as not only an understanding, compassionate and supportive boss, he was and is still known as a mentor and hero to everyone who knew or worked with him. In 2007 Fred suffered a portal vein thrombosis, which left him unable to eat and with a large opening in his stomach. Despite that, Fred and Cyndi adopted three more children: Thomas, Dylan and Khloe in 2009. Regardless of his physical condition, Fred continued to enjoy a full life doing all the things he loved: fishing, quadding, boating, camping, and most importantly, spending time with family and friends. He fought hard to live and cope with the challenges every-day life handed him. Through it all he never complained, he laughed and he loved. He met challenges head on with a brave heart and was an inspiration to all who knew him. Despite many trips in and out of the hospital Fred continued to live and enjoy his life more than anyone else we knew. On September 14, 2013, Fred entered the hospital again with sepsis and sadly after a six week battle he was unable to once again defy what the doctors had predicted six and a half years ago. He was surrounded by his wife and children, his sister, Sandra, brother in-law, Harvey, nieces: Natasha, and Kaitlyn and friend, Mark when he passed peacefully into God’s waiting arms. A Funeral Service was held at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 10, 2013, at Appel Funeral Homes/Central Memorial Chapel, 10530 – 116 Street, Edmonton, Alberta. Family and friends unable to travel out west for Fred’s Funeral are invited to a Memorial Celebrating Fred’s Life at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 16, 2013 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, Braeside, Ontario. In lieu of floral tributes, donations may be made in Fred’s memory to the Children’s Wish Foundation, #271, 339 – 50 Avenue, Calgary, Alberta T2G 2B3 or Ronald McDonald House, 7726 – 107 Street, Edmonton, Alberta T6E 4K3.

Mom, Remembering you is easy, we do it every day. Missing you is the hardest part, as it never goes away. To hear your voice, to see your smile. To sit and chat with you awhile. Would be our greatest wish. Today, tomorrow, our whole life through, we will always remember you.

Today, we are sending you a dove To heaven with a parcel on its wings. Be careful when you open it, It’s filled with beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses Wrapped in a million hugs; To say how much we miss you And send you all our love. We hold you close within my heart; And there you will remain To walk with us throughout our lives, Until we meet again. To us, you were very special What more is there to say; Except to wish with all our hearts That you were here today. They say that time heals everything, But we know that isn’t so; we miss you just as much today As we did two years ago.

They say it’s a beautiful journey From the old world to the new Someday I’ll make that journey Which will lead me straight to you And when I reach that garden In which there is no pain I’ll put arms around you And never part again Dennis CLR482966 DEATH NOTICE

OMG’s Candy co-owners Larry Finnson, left, and Chris Emery tell their story. to Dragons’ Den, and meeting the Walmart U.S.A. chief executive officer at a Walmart venue show. This led to selling Clodhoppers in all 2,700 American Walmart stores. Eventually, the Clodhoppers’ board of directors over-ruled Emery and Finnson in calling for the sale of the company. Emery and Finnson practically flinch on stage when reliving that decision, which is why they did things differently when developing OMG’s Candy. This time they have retained control of the board of directors, by occupying 50 per cent of controlling interest, while Dickinson retains the other half. Emery and Finnson’s advice during their talk touched on a wide variety of issues, including family and financial decisions. “We know where to spend our money,” said Finnson, referring to a focus on packaging and big in-store displays that catch the buyers’ attention. “Candy makes people happy, it does,” said Emery, in helping to explain why he and Finnson got back together to create a second economic partnership in the candy industry. “If Larry and I can do that, and make something that’s truly great, that’s a good thing.” Hence, their already strong friendship solidified their feeling that they should try again. “Being in the candy industry for 10 years, and knowing all the pitfalls, you’re still going to make mistakes,” said Emery. “But with all that experience, you’ll make a lot less of them.” Trusting your business partner(s) and your product are keys, no matter what your business experiences, said Finnson and Emery.

“It all begins with the product. The taste is crucial,” said Emery. “We used our family and friends and ourselves. I love candy. I eat M&Ms and KitKat all the time, and I try all our competition,” explained Emery, stressing that, as taste-testers, they had to decide if their new product was better than the competition. Also, said Emery, “ultimately, we’re huge believers in collaboration. We think collaboration and partnerships can lead to amazing things. But one of the most important things about partners is that they have the same vision.” In pursuing their vision, they also have to understand what drives their industry, which they say is customer impulse. “So, understanding that, we take all our money and our investment and spend in-store on big displays, which you walk into. Or demoing,” said Emery. “We do have Facebook and we do have Twitter, but we use them in our business more as an extension of our customer service. It’s not what drives our business, or gets us new consumers.” Partnerships also work when partners know the best fit into the puzzle. “A key, too, is know what you’re good at,” added Finnson. “What are you going to do. What am I going to do. But don’t micro me. Let’s make a decision together. Let me do my thing and you do your thing.” The pair also recommended that business owners use a lawyer to register the word marks of their product and register the design. But they say trademarking a recipe isn’t necessary, since other businesses can make small ingredient changes to create a new product.

Arnprior musician set to release double album Initially, Cardiff brought 22 songs to Leggett, and as they began working on Love Is Louder (Than All This Noise), they wrote a couple more. As they talked about how to arrange the songs and asked each other whether they should be band songs or gentler songs, they decided to let some of the songs be both, and the double album took shape. The result is two very different albums and two very different versions of the same song. “I think the songs have got a different heart to them,” says Cardiff. Cardiff and Leggett recorded Love Is Louder (Than All This Noise) primarily in Cardiff’s Mima Street Studios in Arnprior – which he and Leggett built together during the recording of Floods and Fires. Recording was also done at the Chalet Studio in Claremont and the schoolhouse studio built by Hawksley Workman outside Huntsville. Hailed by Gordon Lightfoot as a “songwriter who needs to be heard,” Cardiff is known not only for his musical style, but also for the close relationship he has with his fans. He has been nurturing that close relationship throughout his 16-year career by performing wherever people want to see him. A long-time advocate of alternate venue touring, Cardiff has played in backyards,

Arts – The storytellers are coming back to the Neat Café in Burnstown. A Dubious Blessing: Two Old Women Speak, a 2 women productions, will be performed at 7:30 Sunday, Nov. 24. The Burnstown appearance follows on a performance at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre the night before. A Dubious Blessing is being touted as another remarkable storytelling performance by Marta Singh. Her last piece, Landscapes of Silence: A Daughter’s Story, was praised as a powerful performance as she conjured up the experiences of growing up in the shadow of Argentina’s brutal dictatorship. In her new show, Singh offers another astonishing story about her own very particular world. “It took years of soaking my bones in folktales and fairy-tales to know that they hold as much truth - and as much wonder - as what we call ‘real’ life,” she says. “Once that became knowing, life handed me the threads - the memories, the places, the people - that were asking to be laced into story. Little did I know that the two women from whom I first heard stories, would one day stand at the centre of my craft and become themselves, in story, witches and fairies. “In a way, this piece is a tribute to them. They taught me that in every story shines a curse and a blessing – whether the curse or the blessing shines brighter, lives longer depends on the storyteller.” In A Dubious Blessing, listeners

prisons, camps, churches and many, many living rooms. Armed with an extensive catalogue of songs, his Book of Truths, sharp wit and soft voice, he makes it a point to keep the relationship with his fans personal, inviting and accepting any opportunity to make his audience as much a part of the performance as he is. Over the summer, Cardiff raised almost $12,000 to produce, release and market the album through indiegogo, more than double his goal of $5,000. His last album, Floods and Fires, was actually crowd-funded as well, the only crowd-funded, self-released album nominated for a Juno in 2012. “It’s really exciting to see how Craig’s fans have really gotten behind him,” said his publicist Lindsay Chung.

All guests must be 19 with valid, gov’t issued, photo ID; 19-25 will need 2 pieces of ID. Exception Sunday 11 am-10 pm & Thursday 5-10 pm; Family Entrance on south side.

Arts - With 15 albums in 16 years, Arnprior folk singer Craig Cardiff is used to putting out a great deal of new music. But next week, he’ll do something he’s never done before – release a double album. On Tuesday, Nov. 19, Cardiff will release Love Is Louder (Than All This Noise), a new double album recorded for the most part in Arnprior. It features full-band versions of some songs and quieter, stripped-down versions of others – which he describes as gentle whispers and powerful cries. Cardiff is excited to share the new songs with two album release shows Sunday, Dec. 8 at the Blacksheep Inn in Wakefield. There will be an all-ages performance at 4 p.m. and an evening show at 8 p.m. He’s also performing Friday, Dec. 20 at Neat Coffee Shop in Burnstown. The independent artist has been working with producer Ben Leggett of North Bay, and is excited to team up with him again on a follow-up to Floods and Fires. That album earned him a nomination for a 2012 Juno Award for Roots and Traditional Album of the Year, as well as a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination as 2012 Contemporary Singer of the Year. “Working with Ben Leggett again is amazing, and there’s a lot to be said for not producer-hopping,” says Cardiff. “I think, if you can develop a relationship ADAM M DEE where both of you are challenged and both Arnprior musician Craig Cardiff is releasing a double of you are pushed out of your comfort zone, that is mutually beneficial.” album next week.

Early bird CHEO draw deadline nears Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

Marie Ingram of Arnprior receives a flu shot from RN Erin Lascelle at the Renfrew County and District Health Unit flu clinic Nov. 7 at the Nick Smith Centre. “I wouldn’t miss it,” said Ingram, who gets the flu shot every year. There will be another health unit flu shot clinic at the Arnprior Legion Dec. 4 from 4 to 7 p.m. As well, local pharmacies and doctors offices also have been giving flu shots.

Health care workers urged to get flu shot News - Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Arlene King, is stressing that it is particularly important for health care workers to get a flu shot. The provincial Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care has been working with organizations representing different sections of the health sector that are all committed to increasing flu immunization rates among their members. From that work, the awareness campaign ‘Let’s Get Fluless’, is being rolled out across the province. It aims to promote the flu shot and

protect health care workers, their patients and families from influenza. It is estimated that about half of the province’s hospital staff (51 per cent) and three-quarters of long-term care workers (74 per cent) currently receive the flu shot. Good hygiene practices such as frequent hand washing, covering all coughs and sneezes, and staying home when you are sick, can help reduce the spreading of the flu.

News – The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario is hoping to make one lucky winner’s dreams come true with its dream home lottery. As well as the $1.8-million dream home package, there are also several other prizes, as well as the early bird prizes. Anyone who orders a ticket by midnight this Friday, Nov. 15 is eligible for more than $94,000 worth of early bird prizes. The 5,568-square-foot dream home is located off Manotick Main Street in a new development by Minto. It is built in the French provincial style and includes four bedrooms upstairs – two of which are master bedrooms. There is a fifth bedroom on the main floor that could be made into a games room. The home also features five bathrooms, several sitting rooms and a large kitchen that boasts an eight-person dining room table and several large stainless steel appliances. The finished basement feels more like a classy lounge; small pods of seating areas are spread out among the entertainment systems, with a mini kitchen along the

wall. Even the kids’ recreation room has its own TV, one of many throughout the house. A personal exercise room completes the picture. CHEO chief executive Alex Munter joked that he almost missed the launch because he was lost upstairs; and with all the joining rooms, walk-in closets and roomy bathrooms, it’s not an unthinkable possibility. Munter thanked Minto, trade partners and ticket holders for supporting the hospital, which he said is considered in the top six per cent of research hospitals globally in terms of its impact. “None of that would be possible if not for the donors,” he said. “Kids deserve to be happy, we all feel that.” Minto communications director Gwen Cox said this is the 13th home the developer has built for CHEO, and “this is probably the most dazzling we’ve ever done.” “In a perfect world no kids would have to see the walls inside CHEO,” Cox said, but since that’s not the case, “we’re very grateful that we’re able to help out in this way.” The $100 tickets (three for $250) can be purchased online at dreamofalifetime.ca,
