Shooter’s files appeal for liquor licence TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
A local bar and grill is fighting back after losing its liquor licence. Last week, Shooter’s Bar and Grill appealed the Register of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission (AGCO) order to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT) that suspended the licence. The hearing is set for Dec. 12 in Ottawa. Following an Oct. 27 single-vehicle collision on Calabogie Road that killed two 18-year-old Renfrew males and injured two others, the Registrar of the AGCO on Oct. 30 issued a Notice of Proposal (NOP) to revoke the establishment’s liquor licence for multiple infractions of the Liquor Licence Act (LLA). The alleged infractions of the LLA include: · Permit drunkenness · Promote immoderate consumption · Licensee sell/supply liquor to apparent intoxicated person · Permit apparent minor to have or consume liquor on licensed premises · Fail to verify identification of apparent minor · Permit removal of liquor from licensed premises · Fail to maintain control over premises “In the meantime the suspen-

A public hearing will be held in Ottawa and will be confirmed by the LAT. The AGCO had been in contact with the local detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) after the crash. Brandon Hanniman died at the scene of the crash and Alex Paquette succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
Two other 18-year-old males, Ben Scheuneman and Jake McGrimmon, are recovering from injuries sustained in the collision. “The investigation has revealed the vehicle was travelling northbound towards Burnstown when it left the roadway and struck a rock cut,” said an OPP press release on Oct. 30. “Hanniman was driving the vehicle at the time. Three occupants were ejected from the vehicle. Police believe alcohol contributed to the crash.” The corner is currently leading the investigation with the assistance of the OPP. “We are currently waiting for test results to come back from the Centre of Forensic Sciences,” said OPP Const. Janice Sawbridge. “There is no timeline at this point as to when the results will be back.”

Arnprior museum celebrates 50th anniversary Visitor numbers spike in 2017 despite construction woes DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
The Arnprior & District Museum opened its doors 50 years ago this month. Museum staff is busy preparing a time capsule to be opened a half-century from now, but curator Janet Carlile is also taking a few minutes to remember those who opened the house of history way back on Nov. 2, 1967. “I’m sure there was huge excitement at the time,” said Carlile, searching for something in her small office stuffed with artifacts and work stationary. “There were lots of renovations needed to convert the post office.” The landmark structure now known as D.A. Gillies Building served several purposes for its municipal government. The main floor was a library with a children’s library in the basement. The museum occupied the second floor. Storage space took up the
third level. Carlile, moving stacks of papers aside, pulls out a photo behind a dusty glass frame. “This was the grand opening, taken the next spring,” she said, holding up a black-and-white of several welldressed elderly women and a lone man outside the building. “We have no idea who they are.” Never willing to miss a chance at demystifying local history, Carlile asked readers to contact her if they recognize anyone in the photo. She had identified a few: third from the left is Jessie Gillies with original curator Muriel Saunders to her left. Seventh from the left is Ina McKenney, then Genevieve Daze, and museum board chair Jessie Lindsay. Asked to look into a crystal ball at what the museum will look like in 50 years, Carlile declined. She is much more comfortable looking at the past than future. However, a 2017 challenge facing the D.A. Gillies building is the provincial accessibility legislation. Town council is considering an external elevator to allow the museum’s many volunteers and elderly visitors to reach the recently-renovated upper level. Statistics show the museum fared well this year. Carlile made a presentation to council recently showing

On Nov. 4, 1967, the Arnprior & District Museum opened. The group of dignitaries above waited until spring for an official photograph. Those correctly identified are, third from left, Jessica Gillies, then curator Muriel Saunders. Sixth from the left is Ina McKenney, Genevieve Daze, and museum board chairwoman Jessie Lindsay. If anyone can identify the others, please call current curator Janet Carlile at 613-623-4902. public admission totals are up substantially over the same time last year. In 2016, admission amounted to just over $1,000. This year – after instituting a donation-only policy — the museum took in almost $3,300. Credit also goes to some popular travelling exhibits, including My Story My Tattoo and Canada at Play, along
with the annual quilt show held each November. Visitors increased from 1,225 to 2,146, as of Oct. 1. Visits from area schools went from 233 to an anticipated 567. Not bad, considering the disruptive construction season in the area and at the building. She said the exterior work on the
building’s foundation has run into delays, but hardly unexpected given the unearthing of the 120-year-old basement. “They are certainly doing a thorough job as far as I can tell,” she said. “It really is something to see them using 21st century materials on a 19th century building.”

Arnprior area residents invited to help with time capsule project DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
What will Arnprior be like in 2067? That is the central question Janet Carlile, curator at Arnprior & District Museum, has for anyone wanting to be included in the town’s latest time capsule. The project is part of Canada 150th anniversary celebration and will see a metal meshed box with two plastic tubes crammed with plenty of signs and symbols of life in town
during the year 2017. “It’s a good nostalgic thing to see what things were like 50 years ago,” Carlile said. “It’s showing a place for a short period of time.” She wants to avoid the clichés many time capsules have and include an interesting twist. Many Grade 6 students from the area have answered a series of questions she posed. (“Most predict they’ll be rich, of course,” she said.) And now it’s time for the adults. 1. What will the population of Arnprior be?

This pre-mighty oak takes centre stage near the cenotaph at Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital. It was an acorn taken from Vimy, France, site of major win for Canada during the First World War. Now a seedling, the oak joins many others across Renfrew county and beyond to commemorate the battle. Arnprior council - Mayor David Reid, left, Tom Burnette, Ted Strike, Lynn Grinstead, Walter Stack, Dan Lynch, and Frank Dugal - participate in a ceremony to welcome the tree to town.

Campanale wins 2017 Ottawa production builder of year DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Campanale Homes won two of the most important awards at the 34th annual Housing Design Awards. Campanale, whose largest community development is in Arnprior, dutifully attended the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association awards gala each year for the last three decades. The family-owned builder hasn’t held much hope in the past, knowing the big boys often take home the hardware, particularly in the top categories. Not this year. “It’s the most exciting event of the year for our industry,” said Christian Campanale. “So to win — I don’t think we’ve ever been so excited. It just means the world for our company and shows that we are doing something right around here.” The first award, one of the major awards handed out that evening, is called the special achievement award: production builder of the year. The second award is for top production home single detached (2,601-3,500 sq. ft.). Campa-

nale’s luxury single is called The Greyson. It appears in the developer’s Prince of Wales on the Rideau community. This is the second year in a row the company has won the prize. The company later celebrated less lavishly than at the gala reception. They shared an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Campanale is pleased with the company’s progress in the west end, and Arnprior in particular. “The industry is picking up, and Arnprior is growing at a stunning rate. It’s an exciting place. We’re anticipating it’ll stay that way for a while,” he said. Ground infrastructure is moving along this fall for the next phase of Callahan Estates, the large community in Arnprior. The Greyson isn’t being offered there, but could be should a buyer show interest. Campanale said two new styles of homes are ideal for Arnprior. The Visionary Series is a single detached bungalow with walkout. The Trail Series is similar. “They feature a brand new modern look,” he said. “We’re really looking forward to next spring and have homes ready to move in next fall.”

The air force touched down in large numbers to march down John Street North this year. 6 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, November 16, 2017
The crowd was slightly smaller than in recent years, but no less moved by the solemnity of the moment. Arnprior’s serving members, veterans, their families and admirers gathered round the cenotaph at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day on the eleventh month. It was chilly but sunny as the parade moved its way from the legion down John Street North toward the ceremony site, at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital. Following the singing of O Canada a lone musician sounded the Last Post. Then came the two minutes silence when many reflect on the various wars and conflicts that claimed so many lives throughout the world. When the wreathes were laid, many returned to the legion to socialize and, in some cases, enjoy well-deserved piping hot drinks.
Even dogs attended the ceremony to thank their best friends.
Arnprior woman opens second orphanage in India “If I was a logical and reasonable person I would have realized I can’t do anything,” she said. “I had no money. No job to come back to. I don’t know anything about their culture. “And I have no fear.” She found the money; at one point even making a decent profit by offering free meals at her restaurant in Kazabazua, north of Gatineau. The donations poured in. She credits the hand of God for making her first orphanage come to life in Auranghabad, India, near Mumbai. A private donor even paid her way over to see it. And the second opened just last month closer to the Bay of Bengal side. More than 40 kids are off the streets because of Molyneaux. She lives in Arnprior now, working for Bonneville Homes following a stint as a waitress at Antrim Truck Stop. She even detailed her remarkable journey in an autobiography titled Show them my love. “I don’t live for me anymore. I only live for those children,” she says, chuckling at the notion.
DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
The misanthropic and miserly Ebenezer Scrooge (or Grinch, if you prefer), following his road-to-Damascus conversion, turned forever euphoric and giggly. He chuckled a lot after accepting the Christmas Spirit, as if pleasantly surprised at how good it feels to be kind and caring. Lorraine Molyneaux also giggles after just about every sentence. Her voice reveals that same incredulity at the power of kindness. She tells her life story as if standing beside herself, marvelling at the wealthy wretch who survived a violent car accident only to live for the poorest of poor on Earth. “I was mean and nasty and as selfish as anybody can be. I would have lots to show but nothing good,” Molyneaux said. “ But, you know, we take nothing with us. Now I live for others because there are a lot of hurting people out there.” Hurting defined her early years living in abject poverty in Shawville. The adults around her had problems. Getting enough clothing was an ongoing issue. Her most cherished memories revolve around molasses as a special treat. “To be able to survive I had to have faith. When you have faith in God, you can do anything.” Molyneaux had little to be grateful for; she had little but herself to depend on. A high school dropout, no post-secondary education, her prospects along the straight and narrow were meagre. So she veered somewhat. In the late 1980s she applied for an information technology job with the federal government. They needed someone to invent a software program to track Chinese nationals. (Hundreds were defecting while in Canada.) She wasn’t qualified in the least, but puffed up her resume and managed to win it. Then she solved the problem within two weeks by asking an administrator if she could work with the computer with floppy discs in the corner of the office. “It was right under their nose the whole time,” she said. “My whole life story is like that.” Canada loaned her to the Chinese for the same issue, which is how she ended up in Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989. She said she watched from her bicycle — having lost her guide — as the person famously stood in defiance against a row of tanks. That was her first experience at seeing turmoil and extreme poverty. Back home her career was flourishing. She left the public service for greater financial rewards in the private sector. Her circles included doctors and lawyers: the upper middle class. Then came the crash. Her Toyota Corolla was broadsided at a Barrhaven intersection. She refused hospital care that night, prolonging recovery from a broken neck. It was 1994, and

Lorraine Molyneaux and Indian children are all smiles after an orphanage opens. A second has now opened in the country, thanks to Molyneaux’s efforts. for the next three years she would see 41 doctors about her neck and an arm that had shrivelled up and was turning black. “They told me I was going to die. And I didn’t really want to live anyway because of the pain,” she said. “So I gave everything away.” Then one day she finally agreed to see a spiritual healer. The woman questioned her piety — “Did you know that He was beaten so that you’d be healed?” — chanted a short prayer, then sent her to a room, alone. “It felt like a sharp toothpick on top of my head. Then a rain of goosebumps, like a shower of warm goosebumps. And the arm shot straight up in the air. And a warm hand on the back of the neck where the pain was.” She at first didn’t realize, when she left the room, that she walked normally. She also didn’t notice, she said, that her dead arm was “normal.” Since then, Molyneaux travelled around Pakistan and India, on her own, witnessing some of worst conditions imaginable. She has also worked on reserves in Canada. She would make a few dollars here, then give it away on her trips to homeless women huddled under bridges and
elsewhere. “I would tell people that I want to go to the poorest of the poor. I can’t help a lot so I want to help the neediest.” Worse are the measures taken to fend off the ravages of destitution. “It does a number on you,” she said. “They all have the same problem. They are killing their girls.” In 2014 she heard of 35 babies tossed down a well. Molyneaux was dumbfounded. “I couldn’t get my head around it. Why would they do that? It was that or watch them starve to death. They didn’t do it because they wanted to. They did it because these people in rural areas aren’t even close enough to the cities to sell them. There are so many people they can’t even sell them.” So she prayed. And prayed some more. It was the day before she was due back in Canada when Molyneaux realized she needed to open an orphanage. She ran into the next room where two Indian friends were. Kefa Salvi and his wife Anuradha said they’ve wanted to open an orphanage for nine years. Born was Christian Unity Centre.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Stay safe this hunting season Hunting season is upon us and the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) encourages hunters to learn and adhere to the following list of rules when hunting. All hunters must wear solid hunter orange clothing (a minimum of 400 square inches or 2,580 square centimetres above the waist) and a hunter orange head cover during gun seasons for deer, moose and elk. Outside the gun seasons for deer, moose and elk these requirements also apply to bear hunters who are not hunting from a tree stand. Handle firearms with care and attention at all times. Hunters must never shoot unless they are absolutely sure of their target and what lies beyond it. It is illegal to shoot from a vehicle or carry a loaded firearm in or on a vehicle, to discharge a firearm from or across the travelled portion of a right of way for public vehicular traffic. In many parts of Ontario it is also illegal to have a loaded firearm, or discharge a firearm, in any part of the right of way. Firearms must be unloaded and safely secured (in a locked cabinet with a lock on
the trigger) when not being used and ammunition must also be safely secured and stored. Failing to do so is against the law! And above all else, never drink alcohol and hunt. General safety planning • Tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will be returning; • Know the weather conditions in your hunting area and dress accordingly; • In an emergency, stay calm and stay put; • Avoid hypothermia. Know how to treat it if it strikes; • Keep hydrated and well nourished; • Carry a survival kit and a small first aid kit with you at all times; • Know how to build a fire in all weather conditions and carry the supplies to start one; and, • Carry a map and compass or GPS unit and know how to use them. To report unlawful night hunting or any other illegal and unsafe hunting activity, call the MNRF TIPS Line at 1-877-8477667 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

The bill does not prevent the wearing of the niqab and burka, it just requires them to show their face to receive government services, not an unreasonable request. I guess the Arnprior ChronicleGuide is OK with minors wearing niqabs, or burkas to purchase, cigarettes, alcohol, or pot when it is legalized.
According to the majority of Islamic scholars women having to cover up their faces is not a requirement of Islam. It simply requires them to dress modestly. The niqab and burka, area recent cultural phenomenoms of the Muslim world. Although there are probably a small percentage of women who want to do this out of modesty, it is driven almost entirely by a culture of patriarchy, where women are seen as possessions and they are worth less than men.

attitude. There should be no tolerance for the Muslim father in Gatineau, recently charged for assaulting his daughter for removing her niqab, when she left her home.

OPINION
Fatal crash on Calabogie Road was preventable To the editor: Since the vehicle crash on the Calabogie Road, like so many others, I have felt sadness at the deaths of two teenagers and injury to the other two passengers. My heart goes out to the victims’ families and friends. Today my sadness at the tragedy is being mixed with anger. My anger is directed solely at the bar where prior to the crash, the boys were allegedly, illegally sold and served alcohol. On Nov. 1, media reported that Shooter’s Bar and Grill in Calabogie has been charged by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, (the organization that has the authority to enforce the Ontario Liquor Licence Act, LLA) with seven offences related to violation of the LLA. When I worked for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, I focused on the safe and legal service of alcohol. So I’m very familiar with how LLA works and how bars too often ignore following its rules and regulations. The consequences of not complying with the law can be dire and tragic. So by considering the seven infractions attributed to Shooter’s and my knowledge of the LLA, it’s relatively easy to piece together Shooters’ likely role in the crash that took place. What makes me so upset is that according to the nature of the charges, the crash was preventable. Drinking establishments have a responsibility under the LLA to deny service and stop someone who is impaired from drinking and driving. The LLA opens the way for the families to sue the bar and the employees who may have broken the law. Suing does not bring back a loved one. Suing does not end the suffering the families will have to endure. Suing if nothing else, informs bar owners and workers that they have serious obligations and responsibilities under the law and their actions can be the difference between life and death.

Could this be the year of the lynx? MICHAEL RUNTZ Nature’s Way
Of all the wild animals with which we share this land, none is more mysterious or seldom seen than the lynx. I recall with vivid clarity my first sighting of one of these beautiful cats. It was late August and I was walking along the Lookout Trail in Algonquin Park when suddenly I had the odd feeling that there was something in the woods to my right. I glanced over and there, not 100 feet away, was a large cat walking parallel to me. With binoculars I could clearly make out the long, black tufts adorning its ears and its grey, lithe body held up by remarkably long legs. After casually walking beside me for several minutes, the lynx came to a boulder-strewn hill and with admirable grace it effortlessly bounded up the slope and out of sight. Since then, my sightings of lynx have been brief and usually at night, all taking place in northern Ontario. This spring a few residents of Vydon Acres were thrilled to not only see but also to photograph one of these beautiful cats in their neighbourhood. Then over the past couple of months there have been no fewer than three different sightings of Lynx
in Algonquin Park, all corroborated by photographs. And recently Lynx tracks were photographed very near to where the first sighting occurred. Although Algonquin contains elements of the boreal forest where Lynx are more plentiful, in addition to my encounter only a handful of sightings have been made over the years. So why suddenly have so many Lynx sightings been reported this fall? It may well be the answer lies in the status of a very different animal, the snowshoe hare. Although lynx eat a variety of animals including red squirrels, beavers, mice and voles, their mainstay is the snowshoe hare. Hares go through dramatic population cycles on roughly a 10 to 11-year basis. The year after a peak in their population comes a dramatic crash in their numbers. It takes a few years before the hares start to rebuild their populations, but when they do they steadily increase with an exponential growth experienced in the years prior to the next crash. When hares begin to rise in numbers, so do their predators, especially lynx. But because the rise in their population lags about a year behind that of the hares, lynx are still numerous during the year of the hare crash.
So to find food lynx begin to wander over greater distances, with some travelling more than 1,000 kilometres. Last year was a bumper year for hares in the North, and they may well be on a downward spin in their population. Thus, it is possible that the remarkable number of sightings in Algonquin Park involve lynx moving down from the north in search of food.
Lynx remain one of my most sought-after animals to see and record on camera, so I will be heading to Algonquin at my first opportunity. Perhaps I’ll get lucky and finally fill a major gap in my photo library. Indeed, I would dearly love to photograph the missing lynx. The Nature email is mruntz@start. ca

Renfrew County residents are not always aware of these services, nor do they know who to call when they need help.
Where to go for addiction treatment RENFREW COUNTY ADDICTION TREATMENT SYSTEM
The Renfrew County Addiction Treatment System (RCATS) consists of three agencies that have been in operation for many years. However, residents of Renfrew County are not always aware of these services, nor do they know who to call when they need help. Hopefully, a breakdown of agencies and their respective services will be of assistance in determining who to call if help is required. Out of the three Champlain Local Health Integration Network-funded services, MacKay Manor has been around for the longest. MacKay Manor provides supportive services to men aged 18 years and over who have a substance use problem and need residential support. Residents can expect to stay for about three months while they receive individual and group counselling and have a safe place to learn to maintain their sobriety. MacKay Manor also sponsors both the Addiction Supportive Housing Program,
which helps those with substance use issues who are in recovery find adequate housing, and the Community Withdrawal Management Service, which is an outreach program that supports individuals who need community support in getting and staying alcoholand drug-free. As well, MacKay Manor has transitional beds and a smoking cessation program. There are two community treatment addiction programs that those with substance problems as well as family members can access while they continue to live at home and remain in their community. Each of these programs has similar services but also deliver services that are unique to each agency. For example, both Addictions Treatment Service and Pathways Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services provide intake, assessment, referral, treatment planning and counselling (this is not an all-inclusive list). However, it should be noted that at A.T.S., they offer specialized services for youth 12 to 15 years of age or services for those struggling with a gambling issue.
On the other hand, if you are a pregnant and/or parenting woman, Pathways has a specialized program called MotherSafe, whereby the worker can actually visit with clients in their homes or another place of their choosing to assist them with their substance use. Finally, there is much in the news recently about the opioid crisis happening across not only the province but the country. Renfrew County is certainly not immune to this crisis. For those seeking help with opioid use, there are two programs currently available to help residents of Renfrew County under the RCATS umbrella: MotherSafe Opioid Case Management for pregnant and/or parenting women located at Pathways, and Opioid Case Management for men and women who are not pregnant and do not have children at Addictions Treatment Service. Both of these programs also deliver services to family members of those with opioid issues. Visit www.renfrewcountyaddictiontreatment for contact information.

Safety boot camp welcomes Canadian Senator Vern White to Horton TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
Boots and goggles and all things safety were the focus of a recent boot camp for local employees. The second annual Health and Safety Boot Camp welcomed 50 people to the Horton Community Centre on Wednesday, Oct. 25, including former Ottawa police chief and current Sen. Vern White. The event was the result of a partnership between the Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation (CFD) and the Eastern Ontario chapter of the Canadian Society of Safety Engineering (CSSE). Paul Curtis, chair of the CFD, welcomed the large crowd and hoped the day would be filled with networking and building collaborative partnerships. “Leading workplace safety in Renfrew County is rooted in the idea of helping business and organizations in the area develop sustainable safety programs that will reduce injuries and illnesses and increase the bottom line,” said Curtis. “The goal for today is to teach organizations how to become Occupational Health (and) Safety leaders.” Sue McLaren, regional vice-president of the CSSE, was pleased there was an appetite for employers to

Arnprior was well represented at the recent Health and Safety Boot camp at the Horton Community Centre hosted in partnership by Community Futures Development Corporation Renfrew County and the Eastern Ontario Chapter of the Canadian Society of Safety Engineering.

embrace health and safety. “It’s also an opportunity to network, so they know who to go to, and a chance to gain a lot of knowledge,” said McLaren. White was the keynote speaker at the boot camp and told the crowd from across Renfrew County that his work has been in serving the community and how community issues affect health and safety. He stressed a different way of thinking to solve safety issues in the workplace. “You need to look at things different and not just different things,” said White. He shared his experience of securing $21 million in funds for two drug treatment facilities in Ottawa, calling it the most successful thing he has done. “You have to look at it different and find something different to do … we do need to take risks,” said White.
He also talked about the fentanyl crisis, recruiting challenges in Nunavut, securing funds for new bulletproof vests, a healthy lifestyle program for the Ottawa Police Service and the importance of being proactive in workplace safety. “From a health and safety perspective, we have the opportunities where we can save lives,” said White. “Healthy workplaces don’t need likeminded people. I believe you should find people who believe in what you believe in.” Some of the many topics covered included: Joint Health and Safety Committees — Are You Meeting the Requirements?; Surviving to Thriving; From Good to Great — Accident Investigations Made Easy; Things Aren’t Always As They Seem; Modified Work/Accommodation Keys to Success; and Weedless Workplace.

An exciting new furniture store has opened its doors in downtown Arnprior at 137 John St. N. The former site of Robertson’s Furniture and Sleep Gallery has been transformed into a new shopping experience called Under My Roof. The store features three floors of home furnishings and decor with a new sleep gallery on the formerly vacant third floor. The 1883 heritage building has undergone extensive renovations giving it a modern look while maintaining the spaces historic charm, with high ceilings clad in vintage steel tile, newly exposed brick walls and rustic flooring. The idea for the new store came last year to home furnishings veteran John Perreault after seeing the business potential of the space in the freshly revamped downtown core. Partnering with his brother Paul, the two began carefully planning to create a furniture shopping environment that you would expect to see in a big city while maintaining the friendly service and value you’d expect from a small town retailer. Careful attention has been given to displaying the furniture with proper lighting and decor so customers can easily visualize the furniture in their own space. Response from customers to the new store has been overwhelmingly positive. Most people grateful to see that the departure of Robertson’s Furniture hasn’t left Arnprior with another vacant building and the loss of a local furniture shopping option. Under My Roof puts an emphasis on selling quality Canadian furniture. Its upholstery
lines are provided by two of Canada’s premier sofa manufactures, Decor Rest and Palliser. In their sleep gallery, you can find top quality mattresses exclusively from Kingsdown Canada. Kingsdown has been making mattresses in this country for over 100 years with a reputation for comfort and quality. Other Canadian furniture manufacturers featured include Defehr, Bermex, Shermag and Amisco. They do carry some select imports that offer some unique furniture pieces not readily available in Canada. They also wanted to use the space to offer a wide variety of artwork and decor items to complement their furniture. Large canvas pieces, vases, candle holders, lamps and accents of all kinds can be found throughout. A section of wall on the main floor of the store has been set aside to display co-owner Paul Perreault’s personal artwork from his Reflections of our Heritage collection. Patrons of his work can now view and purchase his prints at the location. Deputy Mayor Tom Burnette made the opening official on Sept. 30, cutting the red ribbon out front of the new location. The former owners of Robertson’s Furniture and Sleep Gallery, John and Karen Robertson, were on hand to help with the launch of the new store. The two Perreault families look forward to serving Arnprior and the Ottawa Valley in the years to come with exceptional service and value. You can find out more about Under My Roof by visiting their website at www.undermyroof.ca.

Murder-mystery in Arnprior to raise funds for COVAC on Nov. 30 DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
An evening of dinner and theatre will help raise funds for a fledgling Arnprior arts group. Eddie May Mysteries presents Show Biz Is Murder! at the Christian Education Centre (CEC) later this month. The evening will also include a Mexican meal, hosted and prepared by volunteers at Central Ottawa Valley Arts Collective (COVAC). “A lot of people say Eddie May’s is the best,” said James Hrkach, COVAC member. “They’re from Ottawa and have been around for 30 years. And still going strong.” Described as a hilarious holidayseason-themed evening with a bit of interaction between actors and patrons, the whodunit culminates in a vote. The food will be chili and the like, served in three courses. It will include an open bar. A maximum of 100 tickets are available. Money raised goes toward a sound system COVAC will use at CEC. Previous fundraisers – such as the recent pork loin, live music show called Let There Be Lights – raised funds for a rack of dimmers and console. “We are continuing to fundraise to provide an art space for artists in our area,” said Hrkach, a former music teacher at Arnprior District High
Derek Dunn/Metroland
Elaine Lowe and James Hrkach of Central Ottawa Valley Arts Collective welcome all to a evening of murder and Mexican food on Nov. 30. The event is to raise funds for equipment at the Christian Education Centre. School. “It could be a really great space. That’s why we want people to keep coming to the venue and seeing the growth.” The United Church is eager to have COVAC take over the cost for utili-
ties in exchange for usage. It has some regular events and rentals, but realizes the 257 John St. N. building is underutilized, Hrkach said. Hence the plan to have it as arts hub for the greater Arnprior region.
The most expensive piece of equipment needed is raked seating. That way, when not in use for a performance, it can be tucked away for the United Church’s other events such as exercise night and quilting.
The $20- to $40,000 cost for the 150-seat aluminum structure doesn’t scare away Elaine Lowe, another COVAC member. It simply needs to be done. “It’s important to us that the people who use the centre can continue to use it,” she said. “The United Church loves their building but they realize they don’t have enough going on for upkeep.” Because the structure slopes downward it will mean every seat has a good view of the stage, which will be at floor level in front of the kitchen. When theatre seats are included, the whole thing will total about $200,000. That’s a lot of bowls of chilli. But Hrkach isn’t fazed. “It’s about time that we had a really nice place to see a play,” he said, citing the nearest theatre-style building in Pembroke. Other members of COVAC include chair Bill Stevens, Charlotte Leitch, Kim Berry, Allan Rowson, Eileen Huggard, Chelsie Legree, Angela Knoll, David Major, David Anthony, and town recreation director Glenn Arthur. The group is welcoming more, especially a lawyer and accountant. Show Biz Is Murder! will take place Thursday, Nov. 30, at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:15. Tickets are $40 and available at The Arnprior Book Shop and Green Bean Natural Food. Log onto covac.art for more.

What is Gateway Church and where did it come from? KIMBERLY O’BRIEN Gateway Church
Have you heard about the new church in town? Well, it’s not new… it’s actually been around for a while, but on Oct. 28 Gateway Church invited the community to celebrate as they launched their rebranding. Families enjoyed a free barbecue, sno-cones, games, and a bouncy castle. At Gateway, we want to be known as a giving church that loves to have fun and connect with our community. Loving people allows us to share a small glimpse of God’s amazing love for each person in the Arnprior area. Part of our re-vision was to reflect today’s culture and appeal to the next generation, and it shows in our décor. Features include fresh modern colours and signage that resembles that of a movie theatre. Touches of wood accents give it an authentic “Ottawa Valley” look, leaving you feeling right at home. Sunday mornings are filled with upbeat music that includes bass, electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards and drums. Why the name change? Arnprior is the gateway to the Up-
per Ottawa Valley and we want to be the gateway for our community to find peace, love, joy and healing in Jesus name. Our motto is Unite (to Christ and to each other), Thrive (in your self and in relationship) and Engage (our neighbour and our world). So...who is this church? We were formerly known as the Arnprior Wesleyan Church. We relocated to 128 Mary St. (old Alexander Reid School) a few years ago when we outgrew our location on Harrington Street. The number of children and youth continues to grow, and we couldn’t be happier about that. We love visitors! New name, new logo, new paint, new lights, new décor… is anything the same? Absolutely! We’re still that friendly and caring church who loves to help people navigate their spiritual walk and assist them to live out their unique purpose. We continue to stand firm on the Word of God and we’re conveniently located in the same building as Neighbourlink Fountain, which facilitates our partnership with them.

AMBUSC 2017 season in review ARNPRIOR MCNAB/BRAESIDE UNITED SOCCER CLUB
This was the first year that Arnprior McNab/Braeside United Soccer Club was a part of the Eastern Ontario District Soccer Association. We have joined one of the largest districts in Ontario and the clubs we are now playing are right in the Ottawa district. We used to be part of Soccer North Eastern, which had encompassed Arnprior right up through Sturgeon Falls. Our youth teams played between Arnprior through Deep River. We now play clubs in a much closer range for us to drive in a shorter time. This year our youth teams played West Carleton, Almonte, Carleton Place, Smith Falls and Perth in the Goulbourne Lanark Soccer League (GLSL). We also created a competitive team that played in the East Regional Soccer League and played most of these same clubs, but also played other Ottawa clubs such as West Ottawa Soccer Club, Ottawa South United, Nepean Hotspurs and a few more city teams. This team, the U12 boys did quite well only losing twice throughout the season. Our house league soccer was from ages four to eight. We had a total of 24 teams for these ages and saw some really good development. We had a fair amount of returning
coaches from the year before as most of them took the training course that Ontario Soccer provided our club. We did have some difficulties getting coaches for this age group, so some teams only had one coach. We would love to see every team with a coach an assistant coach and a team manager. This will be an area to focus on for next year as we have had some great success going from house league to the youth travelling house league in GLSL where many of our teams were right at the top of their divisions. Our U10 girls were first and second in their division, our U15 girls were also first and second in their division and the U15 boys were first in their division. Our adult teams were represented really well again this year as we had six teams playing in the Ottawa Carleton Soccer League. Arnprior has been involved in adult soccer in this league for over 25 years and it seems to be getting stronger. One team in particular did very well; the Oldtimers team from the Men’s Division 3 continued their strong play from winning the division of OT4 the year before and finished second this year. This puts them in a promotion position for next year to play in Division 2; Arnprior has never had a team play in OT2. The Oldtimers division is a division that you must be over 35 to play. We also have an OT6 for men’s and two teams of ladies in Division 4 which
is an open age division and we also have two teams of men’s rec., one in Division 2 and one in MR6. One note is the MR2 team; they finished in the middle this year of their division, but have been promoted the last three years in a row. This shows that our program has had some great success starting young and carrying through to the adults. One thing our club really needs to work on over the winter is that more volunteers are needed to help out early in the planning stage to help things run smoothly. We have a fair amount of volunteers that help with coaching, but much more is needed as we have over 500 players in our club and most are from the four-15 age group. What we need are coaches, assistant coaches, team managers, conveners, board members, fundraising volunteers and also some older referees for our youth games. Our annual general meeting is on Nov. 26 at 3 p.m. held at Jim’s restaurant. If you want to know more about the club or think you can help us, I would love to invite you to come out and see how we can keep this great game going in our community. We definitely need and want the help, as we currently only have eight people on the board and they all have other positions on board or as coaches. Please help us. If you are able to help, you can contact us at info@ambusc.ca.

Packers split weekend CCHL2 games TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
All eyes were on the Renfrew Timberwolves as they returned to the ice on Nov. 10 after a tragic crash two weeks ago claimed the lives of two of their teammates. And boy did they deliver when they beat the Alexandria Glens in Central Canada Tier 2 League action 5-2 in front of a full house in Renfrew. Luka Marinic had a hat trick for the Wolves, scoring both goals in the second period, with two assists by Andrew McIntyre and Connor Fulton also picked up a helper. The Glens added one in the middle of the second frame and only one more in the third as the Wolves exploded for three early goals. McIntyre scored at 1:41 of the third, assisted by Marinic; Marinic scored his third of the game at 9:50 assisted by McIntyre and Fulton had the final goal shorthanded at 15:22. Ethan Lapenskie made 30 saves for the Wolves in front of a packed house at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre
of 1,045. Also on Friday night the Arnprior Packers doubled up the Brockville Tikis 4-2 to win in Arnprior The Tikis came out strong, scoring two goals in the first period but the Packers held them off the score sheet for the rest of the game. In the second period Mason Farnes scored on the power play for the Packers assisted by Alexandre Ferraton and Alex Caparelli at 5:32. Lucas Brown scored at 9:52 assisted by Colin Baggio and Mason Farnes. And in the third period Ryan Rivard and Alex Caparelli scored for the Packers. On Saturday, Nov. 11 the Whitewater Kings fell to the Ottawa West Golden Knights 6-3 in Cobden. The Kings managed one goal in each period from Matteas Derraugh, Jared Weber, and Conrad Cybulski.

May 11, 1926 - November 9, 2017 Unexpectedly, the evening of November 9th, after a long battle with many health issues, our dear sweet mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend Helen Wilson passed away. She lived to a ripe old age of 91, but the fullness of her life does not lessen the emotional blow upon those of us who she has left behind - we love her dearly and miss her already. One of the few comforts that we draw at this time is that she did not pass away alone, or in a hospital, but at home with those who loved her. The day of her passing was the day before her wedding anniversary and we are confident that she is now spending her anniversary with her beloved Burt Wilson. Her living loved ones include: son Duane Wilson, daughter-in-law Millie Wilson, daughter Marjorie Wilson, son Jim Wilson, daughter-inlaw Ruthann Wilson, daughter Catherine Wilson, son-in-law Terry Swaine, son Rob Wilson, brother Hugh Baxter, sister-in-law Grace Baxter, brother Maxwell (Max) Baxter, many many grandchildren, many greatgrandchildren, great great-grandchildren and countless friends that she considered loved ones. Her loved ones that have gone before her include: the late Melvin Baxter (brother), the late Henry & Maxine Baxter (brother & sister-in-law), the late Ownie & Bubbles Baxter (brother & sister-in-law), the late Florence and Lloyd Baxter (sister & brother-in-law), the late Steve Orr (son-in-law), and the late Claudette Wilson (daughter-in-law). Helen was the daughter of Annie and Thomas Baxter of Tehkummah, Manitoulin Island, Ontario. She was an exceptional woman with a heart for her family, a dignity and grace that is rare, and the strength, wisdom, fortitude, kindness and caring of a true Matriarch. Friends may join the family during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior (613-623-5194) on Tuesday evening, November 14th from 6 to 7:45 p.m. A Celebration of Life Service will be conducted in the Pilon Family Chapel on Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock. A Homecoming visitation will take place in Fairview United Church, Tehkummah, Ontario on Saturday November 18th, 2017 from 9 to 10 a.m. and where a Funeral Service will be conducted at 10 o’clock. Interment will follow at the Hilly Grove Cemetery, Manitowaning, Ontario.

God saw you getting weary Dad, The hill was steep to climb, He put his arms around you, And whispered “Peace by thine” The family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God takes us one by one, That chain will link again.
Lovingly remembered forever. Yours
Our love always, Dad! Your three sons, Larry, Don, and Dave
Eric Elliott 1924 - 2013
Little did we know that morning God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us precious memories, your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS Lovingly remembered by your wife Kathleen, children Bev, Marie, Janie, Kathie, James and Donnie and their families.
LEN CHAPETSKI November 19, 2014
They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way I feel, In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still, In my heart I hold a place, That only you can fill. Life is not forever, Love is... Lovingly remembered, Your Wife Bonnie
IN MEMORIAM
ARMSTRONG, Krista Sherry-Lynn December 23rd, 1975—November 18th, 2012 We can’t believe it has been five long years Since we last felt joy and shed no tears Can’t believe it has been awhile Since we heard your laugh or saw your smile But yet we know it has been that long Since the Angels took you from where you belong Since we got the call that parents fear That we lost a child we held so dear We hold you close within our hearts And there you will remain To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again We must endure until that time It is in the hands of fate Just be sure we’ll see you then When we meet at Heavens’ gate Words cannot express how much you are missed everyday And the joy you brought to all our special occasions Wishing you an early Happy Birthday – All Our Love and Hugs Mom, Dad and Kristopher Armstrong
Hard to believe, Seems like only yesterday, Her gentle smile and patient face, with sadness we recall, She had a kindly word for each, and died beloved by all, Her voice is mute, and stilled her heart, That loved us well and true, Ah bitter was the trail to part, From one so good as her, You are not forgotten loved one, Nor will you ever be, As long as life and memory last, We will remember thee, We still miss you now, our hearts are sore, As time goes by we miss you more, Your loving smile, your gentle face, No one can fill your place, Forever in our thoughts and always in our hearts, William J. and Family

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may be tempted to tie up loose ends this week, but there is a lot to finish so expect things to take longer than you hoped. Focus only on one project at a time.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are anxious to go on an adventure, but you simply can’t find time in your schedule. You may just have to make it happen by turning off your devices and heading out.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Conversations with others should be kept light and easy this week to avoid any drama, Sagittarius. Delving deeper into others’ lives is the furthest thing from your mind.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your words and actions may not be matching up right now. This may be confusing to others. It may be better to just lead by example.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you are sure that your perspective will win over the crowd, you have to accept there will be some who don’t agree with you. Be gracious and don’t step on any toes.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, are your achievements isolating you from others? You may have to let someone else get some of the glory this week, if only to show your vulnerable and accommodating side.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, things have been moving along quite easily for you and you are enjoying the respite. Take all the deep breaths you can during this period of recovery.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Much work was done to keep log house warm during long winter months Watching Mother get the house ready for the cold blasts of winter, told me that soon the fields would be blanketed with snow as far as the eye could see, and a path would lead us to the barns and the pump in the yard. The long underwear and navy blue fleecelined bloomers would be ready to replace the flour bag underpants we wore at other times in the year. But Mother, after coming from New York City, to a log house with no amenities, soon found out it took more than the heat from the Findlay Oval to keep the house warm during the long Renfrew county winters.
First, she took the rag bag from behind the kitchen door, cut long strips from ragged underwear no longer fit to wear, or wool socks beyond repair, and laid everything out on the kitchen table. Then with a kitchen knife, she stuffed every window frame in the kitchen, so that not a breath of air could come in, while preventing heat from going out. When she finished, the window looked like it had been wrapped for Christmas, framed in every colour in the rainbow. Our bed sheets would be replaced with flannelette, which I thought were more than a step up from the four flour bags sewn together to

cover our feather mattresses and separate us from the tickings on top. They came from Eaton’s catalogue, and apart from their warmth, I loved the wide coloured strips on either end of each sheet. Mother would bring in from the summer kitchen the same four bricks that had been stacked out there since spring, and they would be put on the back of the cook stove after supper had been cleared away so that by the time we went upstairs to bed, they would be hot...too hot to handle, so would be wrapped in newspaper and then in a towel. Just before we crawled into bed, Mother would put the hot bricks in our beds to take away the chill that never seemed to leave the upstairs of our old log house. Sometime through the night, and I could never catch her at it, my sister Audrey with whom I shared the bed, would remove the bricks when they had lost their heat, and in the morning I would see them stacked at the stair step to be taken back down to the kitchen. And when it was obvious that winter was here to stay, the parlour, the smallest room in the house, would be closed off. A braided rug would be rolled and placed on the floor tight to the door to keep the precious heat in the kitchen. The parlour would only be opened if it was our turn to host the Saturday night party, when hopefully enough heat from the kitchen would warm it up before neighbours moved in to play euchre. With no foundation under the house, the floors were always cold and drafty. Aunt Bertha, our next door neighbour showed Mother how to make simple felt slippers, which were really only
two pieces of felt held together with blanket-stitching, but helped a little to keep our feet warm. But when we sat around the old pine table at night, we each had our own cushion to put under our feet as well. MARY COOK Father, of course, never complained about the cold house. At night he sat in the rocking chair by the stove, with his feet on the oven door. His long combination underwear served as his pyjamas, and hand-knit socks from Mrs. Beam left his feet only when Mother forcibly removed them from his feet to add them to the Monday wash. When the serious blasts of winter finally came to Northcote, the pine table, which at other times sat in front of the window looking out to the grape arbour, was moved out from that wall, more into the middle of the kitchen when we had our meals, or after supper when we sat around it involved in the amusements that helped us wile away the time before we climbed the stairs for bed. The kitchen, the biggest room in the house, would be as warm as toast in the evening. I knew before he went to bed, Father would stoke the Findlay Oval, wait for it to catch so we wouldn’t have a flu fire, and as winter closed in around us, everything that could be done, had been done to help us through the long and bitterly cold winters of Renfrew County.
