He said the public picks its own priorities. If people want to give money to the hospital, they do so. If they want to give money to a more developed waterfront the option might be available someday. It’s the democratic process at work. “If it’s not a priority then they won’t support it.” The town budgeted $70,000 for the study and contributed “a considerable amount” of staff time, he added. But that doesn’t mean council will vote for or against everything in the plan. It will instead act as a roadmap over the next decade or so; leading the town to where it needs to go for recreation services, which overlaps with tourism and development. The study will be costed by staff within the existing 10-year capital plan. Master plans make it easier for municipalities to obtain provincial and federal grants. When higher levels of government are assured public and professional input have contributed
to a project, they are more likely to help fund it. Studies of this sort are also good for maintaining corporate memory. Many of the recommendations in the recreation plan “continue” a particular policy or procedure. That is meant in one sense to allow politicians to say they are implementing plans and getting things done. But it also is there for future employees who likely won’t know what was working well in the past. Reid “strongly disagrees” with critics who say studies are an excuse to not act. He believes staff expertise and public contributions help to inform elected officials. “We use these studies on all of our decisions every year at budget time,” he said. “We are goal-oriented right down to our assessment of staff.” He doesn’t want to see the study shelved and forgotten about. “Overall I was pleased with the recommendations,” Reid said.

Students to stage Into the Woods at ADHS Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
Be fearful of going into the woods next Thursday and Friday night, but not about joining the crowd at the high school musical. Into the Woods premiers at the Arnprior District High School Nov. 26 and 27 at 7 p.m. This musical intertwines the plots of several wellknown Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault fairy tales. It explores the consequences – usually unintended – of enduring characters such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, Red Riding Hood, and Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk. Teacher Frank Pecora is with the Arnprior District High School Performing Arts. He welcomes everyone from the general public to come out and show their support for local arts, and be entertained along the way. And it may very well prove a time-saver for young parents, he said. “This show combines at least four fairy tales into one so it saves parents much time and needless effort introducing important literary references to their children,” Pecora said. Into the Woods was turned into a Hollywood blockbuster in 2014, starring Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp and Emily Blunt. Before that it was a hit Broadway in the mid-1980s where it won several Tony Awards. Although steeped in the supernatural, the musical has elements young people can relate to. Mallory Brumm plays Rapunzel, trapped in a tower and longing for freedom. “I’m a high school student. I can relate. I want more freedom from rules,” Brumm said. “I’d like to get out and explore the world.” The musical isn’t drenched in moral sentiment, either. Michael Clarke’s character, Cin-
derella’s prince, manages to stay pretty arrogant through the entire show. “He doesn’t really learn anything. Even their relationship is fake,” Clarke said. The actors are following in some big footsteps with the likes of Streep and others. But many of them, too, have more than a little experience. Some are in Red Velvet, the school’s choir. Others, like Emily Croft, have been performing since the age of seven. “Acting gives me a chance to express who I am,” Croft said. The Into the Woods cast list includes Brynn Sumner as the wolf, Rebecca Cowal as Jack, Elizabeth Smith as Jack’s mother, Dia Campbell as Cinderella’s mother, Emily Croft as Little Red Riding Hood, Erik Kerr as Rapunzel’s prince, Katie Carry as narrator, Connor Vine as the baker, Kendra Dyer as Granny, Kianna Backs as the witch, Vanessa Farmer as Cinderella, Lucas Roberts as the mystery man, Valentina Candelaria as the baker’s wife, Mallory Brumm as Rapunzel, Michael Clarke as Cinderella’s prince, Tessa Roberts as steward, Alicia Duggan as Cinderella’s step mother, Zoe van Sickle as Lucinda and Marley Blok as Florinda. The crew includes stage manager Kheara Richie, lights by Keely Henderson, tech support by Erik Kerr, and costumes by Simona Nixon. Musicians are Elizabeth Brumm and Nick Dawson. Staff helpers are Danielle Robinson, Stephen Gravelle Nicole White, Jessica Hawley, and Mark Popiel. The play will be performed in the high school auditorium and tickets are available at the Arnprior Book Shoppe and the high school main office.

The county has no business lobbying for changes to the OPP cost structure, says Arnprior Mayor David Reid. Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon plans to meet with municipal groups on behalf of rural municipalities such as McNab-Braeside that are paying more for OPP. A recent change to the funding model – secured by Arnprior Mayor David Reid and other municipal officials across Ontario – could see tax increases to townships while towns would enjoy savings. McNab-Braeside council has begun its budget deliberations and has indicated that the rise in OPP costs by themselves could translate into at least a five per cent tax levy increase. Reid noted that county governments don’t pay policing costs; only municipalities do. That makes it a local matter, he said. “I fundamentally disagree with the R0013234340 county getting involved in OPP costing,” Reid told council at the Nov. 9 meeting. “It’s a municipal issue. This is not a county matter. For them to get involved is wrong.” He asked and received confirmation that the Town of Arnprior will send a letter to Emon signalling its opposition. Emon is scheduling meetings with Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA) president Ron Holman and Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) county
representative Bob Sweet. Emon said he wants to explain the pressures on rural municipalities while ensuring the savings by towns is maintained. “The approach is to identify to the town representatives the struggle the OPP funding model is causing for some of the neighbouring municipalities,” Emon wrote in an email to county council. “I am not interested in rolling back or being perceived as advocating a rolling back of the cost reductions some of our neighbours have enjoyed. I would suggest to you that would be counterproductive and would allow the province to avoid the discussion outright if they sensed a split in the resolve to get the correct funding model in place.” Emon then asked council members to detail the police cost increases and possible tax hikes they face to pay for the services. Arnprior’s latest OPP saves $14 per household.

Dry conditions in McNab-Braeside have well-owners worried derek.dunn@metroland.com
Low ground water levels in the Township of McNabBraeside have some residents worried about wells running dry. Two long-time residents and a newer one living on the Braeside Ridge say there are a number of places where large and small ponds have traditionally dotted the wetland. Those indications of water in abundance, they say, are disappearing at an alarming rate this fall. And because the wetland is a recharge area for aquifers, which feed private wells, there is a danger some people could lose their water supply. “It’s bone-dry back there,” said Mike Battiston. “Myself as well as many other residents are worried about it.” The owner of Valley Roof Truss has walked the area behind the Braeside Quarry, much of it owned by Bobby Campbell, the province, and others. He said there was plenty of snow last winter and rain in spring and summer. Even this fall after days of heavy rain, he said, the area remains mysteriously dry. Ingrid Berndt moved to the Ridgeview Drive area just three years ago. She has photographic evidence of the dryness. She, too, has no explanation. “It just doesn’t seem to be as wet anymore,” Berndt said. Norma Moore said she hasn’t seen it this dry in her 40
years of living on the ridge, even during the drought of 2012. She rules out the first suspect. “This has not been a dry season,” said the gardening expert. Moore added that the entire township should take an interest in the phenomenon. There are many expensive houses nearby contributing a lot in taxes. If wells begin to go dry consequences could ripple. None of the three residents are pointing a finger at a second suspect: The Miller Group. The construction giant uses large amounts of water for its quarry operations. It is said to be drilling beneath the water table to pump even more. But according to Elizabeth Dorff at the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, the company is doing nothing out of the ordinary. “The McNab Braeside Quarry was inspected October 8, 2015 and was found to be in compliance with the site plan,” Dorff said in an email. “The ministry is aware of concerns throughout Pembroke District/Renfrew County of low ground water levels, including the Braeside area.” She added that many natural factors influence the fluctuation of ground- and surface-water levels, including beaver activity, precipitation and evaporation. Regardless of the cause, the persistence in dry conditions on the ridge continues to worry Battiston. File “Those are designated wetlands. Someone has the re- The Braeside Ridge used to have pockets of water everywhere. Not so sponsibility to be monitoring them,” he said. “It doesn’t anymore.

Grants for downtown property owners? derek.dunn@metroland.com
Downtown businesses could be offered more municipal grants to renovate their buildings. Right now businesses can participate in a program that sees the town giving money for façade updates and some interior work. It is to complement the $12-million downtown revitalization project taking place over the next two years. Over the last year and a half, $30,000 in municipal revenue has gone into the Community Improve-
ment Program (CIP). It has offset work done on John Street businesses, an Elgin Street apartment and elsewhere. CIP BUDGET BOOST
Considered a success, town marketing and economic development officer Lindsay Wilson recommends an increase to the CIP budget. The focus would be on downtown facades. She will schedule meetings with all properties in the area to discuss the issues. However, Wilson will also ask
business owners to consider making their buildings accessible to those facing disabilities. The province expects in future that businesses have ramps and automatic doors for the handicapped, along with alternatives for the blind and others. A “Downtown accessibility incentive grant” will be discussed and possibly agreed to at the Nov. 23 council meeting. “We should be encouraging property owners to step up and do some work with their building,” Reeve Walter Stack said at the Oct. 13 council meeting.
Emon, Stack nominated for County warden Staff
It’s Arnprior versus Renfrew in next month’s vote for the next warden of Renfrew County. The deadline for nominations passed last week with current Warden Peter Emon, the Reeve of Renfrew, being challenge by Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack. Emon has been warden since late 2012 when he was mayor of Greater Madawaska.
This is the first time that Stack, who is the chair of the county’s finance and administration committee, has run for the position. DEC. 8 VOTE
A ballot vote by county councillors will take place on Dec. 8 during the inaugural session of county council to decide who will assume the office of warden for 2016. A formal nomination process takes
place annually for the office of warden, and any member of county council is eligible after being nominated by two fellow council members. The successful councillor then fills the office of warden for a term of one year. The warden fulfils the role as head of council. The nomination process closes 30 days prior to the inaugural session and if there is more than one nomination, an election is required to determine a warden at the inaugural session.

Politicians and senior bureaucrats gathered at an Arnprior apartment building to show off one of 16 automatic doors recently installed. Held at the socialhousing complex on Burwash Street in Arnprior, the announcement included federal
and county officials who said they understand the need to make public buildings more accessible to those facing barriers. The project received $31,000 from the federal government and $17,000 from the Renfrew County Housing Corporation. Most of the 16 door operators are installed, and the remaining work
will be completed by year’s end. These automatic door operators provide all residents easier and more accessible use of common living rooms where community and building events are often held. Funding fell short to install doors in all 19 of the county’s socialhousing apartment buildings.

Natsis sentenced to five years in prison for fatal crash on Hwy. 17 Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
Pembroke dentist Christy Natsis, 51, was sentenced to five years and 40 days in jail on Nov. 12 at the Ottawa courthouse. Natsis received five years for causing a collision on March 31, 2011 near Arnprior while under the influence of alcohol. The collision killed Bryan Casey of Kanata, who was driving the opposite direction on Highway 17. An additional 40 days were added for breaching her conditions while on bail when she was caught buying vodka in Ottawa, despite being under a court order not allowing her to drink alcohol. Natsis will be eligible to apply for parole when she serves one-third of her sentence. The court heard she drank alcohol at the Crazy Horse restaurant and bar in Kanata before getting in her car the night of the fatal collision. Witnesses told the court she hit a parked car on her way out of the parking lot. She drove erratically on Highway 417, other witnesses said, at one point possibly hitting a cement guardrail. Just west of Arnprior, her car crossed entirely into the

opposite, east-bound lane of Highway 17, striking a car that Casey was driving on his way home from his job in Chalk River to Kanata, where he lived with his wife and three children. Casey was killed in the accident. It took several years and 55 days for the marathon trial to end and Judge Neil Kozloff to come to a guilty verdict. Natsis was represented by high-profile Ottawa lawyer Michael Edelson. On Nov. 12, she was also sentenced to a four-year prohibition from driving. She hasn’t been allowed to drive by the courts since the crash. Kozloff said he took several factors into account in determining Natsis’s sentence. He said she was undergoing stress from financially supporting her brother, and marital problems that
led her to what he believes was a dependence on alcohol. Despite some police evidence being thrown out of court, there was enough evidence to leave him with no doubt Natsis was drinking before she drove that night. There was also the damage done to Casey’s family. “He will never again share with LeeEllen the joy of watching his children grow up and experience that special moment when you give your daughter away at her wedding,” the judge said. He said he also took into consideration that Natsis herself had two teenager daughters she would be separated from while in jail, her community work, character support references, and the fact that she frequently performed dental work at subsidized rates for low income clients in Pem-

And also, for telling the truth when you came forward as witnesses. “To all of you, to the court, to the crown and to the police, we thank you. None of us will ever understand why the crash had to happen. All of our children had their father taken away from them. They will not lose their mother as well. “I continue to do everything within my sphere of influence to ensure our children have the future they would have had had their father not been stolen from them. I do not wish to be consumed by bitterness, nor anger. We wish no further harm to the offender. I hope and pray our children can find peace. “I pray sense is made of the sentence, and hope it serves to prevent tragedies like this from shattering the lives of others. We are eternally grateful to everyone for their continuing support and their love.”

Following the sentencing, Casey’s father, Gus Casey, and widow, LeeEllen Carroll, spoke outside the courthouse. Gus said the family is ready to put the trial behind them. “Our family has been through a difficult time, however we remain strong in spirit,” he said. “Bryan holds a very special place in our hearts as we move together into the future.” Carroll thanked the first responders and people who were at the crash site, and those who came forward as witnesses. “We know you to be brave, we know you to be good, and we’re grateful for your efforts you put forth in trying to save Bryan’s life,” she said. She said her children have lost their father, but she will do her best to make sure they still have a good future.

He also said that due to extensive publicity about the case, she had been publicly humiliated and vilified. “It bears repeating that no sentence I impose can undo the loss (suffered by the Casey family),” he said, before announcing Natsis’s five-year sentence. Natsis stared straight ahead with a sombre face for the majority of the court proceedings, as did the Casey family. Following the sentencing, Natsis began to cry, and was hugged by her husband and family before she handed her husband her jewelry. Her husband had no comment, nor did Edelson.

Gallant doubts U.S. president’s stated reason for rejecting Keystone U.S. President Barack Obama deceived North Americans when laying out his rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline, according to Cheryl Gallant. In her November monthly ‘Report from parliament’, the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP rejected Obama’s proclaimed desire to protect the environment. Instead, by quashing the plan to ship oil from Alberta to refineries in the Gulf of Mexico the president’s supporters will benefit monetarily, Gallant suggested. “It is all about money,” she wrote. “It will make the rich American backers of the U.S. president even richer.” At a Nov. 6 White House announcement, Obama said the pipeline rejection is about deterring climate change.
“If we want to prevent the worst effects of climate change before it’s too late, the time to act is now,” he said. “Not later. Not someday. Right here, right now.” Well-known on Parliament Hill for her controversial views, Gallant went after Obama’s motives. “This rejection by the U.S. president, the first, major Canadian foreign policy setback in over a decade, has nothing to do with the environment or climate change,” she charged. She also questions the motives of the newly elected federal Liberal government in the matter. Gallant said she suspects Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will funnel more Canadian tax dollars – at the expense of the environment - to political operatives south of the border. “What other secret, backroom deals have been made to the American advisors of the Trudeau administration?” she asked. “The
Liberals are now in power with a plan to raise taxes, starting with a de facto carbon tax on everything you buy (which was the old price for approving Keystone). It is immediately obvious; the pay-off to Trudeau’s American handlers was rejecting Keystone. “The fix was in.” Trudeau accepted the U.S. decision to reject Keystone by saying he looks forward to “a fresh start.”
the directors at Clean Energy Canada, a program at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. “We have an abundance of renewable energy resources – hydro, wind, solar, and more – available from coast to coast to coast. As a trading nation, we must always be on the lookout for opportunities to increase exports to a growing number of nations. “The clean energy sector offers just such an opportunity.”
CLEAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS
From Simple to Complicated, We have a Plan...
That is a welcome attitude change, according to Merran Smith and Dan Woynillowicz, who wrote in iPolitics.ca ‘Time to start seeing Keystone’s failure as an opportunity’. “In focusing on climate and clean energy solutions, Trudeau and Obama are looking for a fresh start in the right direction,” wrote
Local man remembered for big heart, gentle spirit Kevin McMillan found dead after pickup goes into ditch Staff
A McNab-Braeside man remembered for his big heart and gentle spirit was found dead in his pickup truck after it went into a ditch on Scheel Drive Saturday afternoon. OPP have concluded the crash did not contribute to his death of Kevin McMillan, 57. Instead, his death is related to a “medical emergency” that caused the single vehicle crash. OPP report McMillan was heading home in his grey 2005 Ford F350 on Scheel Drive near McLean Drive at around 4:40 p.m. when the incident occurred. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Scheel Drive was closed until about 9:30 p.m. to allow police to investigate. OPP Constable Dave Peace led the investigation with assistance from technical collision investigators. William Kevin McMillan was a partner with his brother, Keith, in McMillan Sand & Gravel, where he was a

truck driver/machine operator. “His big heart and gentle spirit leave an indelible mark in the memories of all who had the pleasure of knowing him,” says a tribute posted on the Pilon Family Funeral Home website. The McMillan family held visitations at the Pilon Chapel in Arnprior on Wednesday from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. and today (Thursday) from 10 to 10:40 a.m.to be followed by a service to honour and celebrate his life at 11
a.m. In memory of his “kind and gentle heart toward dogs (he leaves behind his beloved dog Buster),” the family is asking that donations in his memory be made to the Arnprior Humane Society. For more, see McMillan’s obituary in this edition’s classified pages or visit http://pilonfamily.ca/tribute.
Friday night crash sends area teens to hospital Staff
Three area teens were injured, two seriously, in a Friday night accident outside of Renfrew. “The roof of the car was sheared off in the crash,” said OPP spokesperson Const. Janice Sawbridge. The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated the collision Friday evening (Nov. 13) that sent three teenagers to hospital, two of them in critical condition. Officers responded to the report of a single vehicle collision on Lynch Road near the intersection of Stone Road in Admaston-Bromley at 9:43 p.m. The crash involved a 2001 Honda driven by a 19-year-old male.
There were two male passengers in the car, a 17- and 16-year-old. All three were transported to hospital by paramedics, one with minor injuries, two with critical injuries. Speeding a factor
The collision caused extensive damage to the car and extrication was required to free the victims. Speeding is believed to be a contributing factor in the crash. The incident could have been much worse. “The backseat passenger is very fortunate to only have received minor injuries,” said Sawbridge. The incident can definitely serve as a reminder of the dangers of speed. “We consider speeding one of
the four main causes of serious collisions and deaths in the province,” said Sawbridge. “We’ve nicknamed them our ‘big four’ – lack of seatbelt use, speeding and aggressive driving, impaired driving by drugs or alcohol and distracted driving. Those are the four main things that are causing injuries and deaths and we see again that one of those contributed to this collision. We’re continuing to investigate to see if anything else did.” Investigators remained on scene assisting paramedics and gathering evidence. OPP Const. Troy Dobbie is leading the investigation with assistance from Technical Collision Investigators (TCI).

Don’t blame the refugees The horrific massacre in Paris last Friday has rightly prompted world-wide condemnation. However, it’s just the latest attack on innocent civilians by a group that has twisted the teachings of a respected religion to try to justify its own warped political ends. In the face of such barbarism, it’s easy to lash out in anger and seek revenge by trying to ‘bomb ISIS into oblivion’, but that would only victimize more civilians. It’s also easy to give in to fear and over-react by blaming all Muslims, including the refugees trying so desperately to find sanctuary from the despotism and civil war that spawned ISIS in the first place. There were several ISIS bombings last week, with many of the victims Muslims. The indiscriminate multiple killings that shook Lebanon and Iraq are just the latest in a long line of vicious attacks in those countries. And no wonder people are risking their lives to escape Syria with the civil war killing more than 200,000 civilians, many of them children, in the last four years. Yet petitions have been circulating around social media since the Paris shootings demanding Canada renege on its plans to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees because of security concerns. Such scare-mongering doesn’t make much sense. Certainly, Canada and other nations ac-
cepting refugees should do due diligence when screening newcomers. But to suggest that people trying to flee from ISIS will suddenly become terrorists in their new countries is illogical. As shown by the killings of soldiers in Ottawa and Montreal last fall, it’s the home-grown terrorists and malcontents, not immigrants, we have to worry about. If we’re to stop all Muslims coming to Canada because of the atrocities of ISIS, then should we have prevented the Irish from moving to the country because of the terrorist acts of the IRA or the thuggery of the Ulster Defence League? Or should we have banned all German immigration because of the crimes of the Nazis. There is a saying floating around the Internet suggesting that ISIS is to Islam what the Klu Klux Klan is to Christianity. While the anology isn’t perfect, it does show the dangers of tarring a religion with the brush of its extremists. And don’t say it doesn’t happen in tolerant Canada. Setting fire to a mosque, as happened in Peterborough on the weekend, is the result of such misguided logic. The refugees are trying to escape the terror of ISIS. We shouldn’t let the fanatics, criminals and thugs that kill on that renegade movement’s behalf scare us into turning away those trying to escape their inhumanity.
Neuter, spay help would fix feral cat problem School boards should consult more To the editor: I am sure everyone knows or has heard of the good people in Arnprior and area. They feed and try their best to take care of the feral cat population located in various areas in and around town. Theirs is a thankless job as they can feed build houses but can’t stop the breeding and the community triples each year. The Arnprior Humane Society is overflowing with cats because of this and other reasons. When the cats are adopted the price seems high, but this doesn’t cover their costs, mainly spay and neutering. Because of this some people go

time a month to neuter and spay these feral cats for free – yes, I said free, because I know what I pay for veterinarian services. It would definitely not be a financial hardship for them to do this. There would be no shortage of volunteers to do round them up, I am sure. In closing, I would also like to suggest there be a spay-and-neuter program for low income families. When they get these free kittens, they could afford to have them fixed – thus the chain is broken. Just saying. Janet Sabourin Arnprior

United front helped in quarry OMB hearing To the Editor: We are extremely happy with the Ontario Municipal Board’s decision regarding the expansion of the Braeside Quarry. As two of the five parties participating throughout the month-long hearing, we can say that each party on the side of the municipality showed a united front on the major issues.
Each contributed, and brought their own perspective to the hearing, with the same goal in mind. It is a fact that the board must have regard to any decision of council, and their supporting information and materials. Because of this, it was imperative that council came into the hearing supporting their new bylaw establishing the 300-metre setback
from property lines. The newly elected Council passed this bylaw in a timely manner in order to go into the OMB hearing defending the proper setbacks to property lines, as well as refusing the permanent asphalt plant. We sincerely thank council for this. With regards to the separation distance; as landowners of the land in
Be kind to the creatures To the Editor:
I would like to thank the editor of this paper for publishing the story of Sam and Sara, my pet geese who were killed by a hunter last month. A special thank you to Jessica Cunha, the lovely young lady who handled the interview with such sensitivity and compassion. It is my sincere hope and prayer that just maybe, as a result of reading the article, even one person might stop to think and use common sense before making a decision that could harm or impact someone or something else – whether it be a hunter who raises his gun to take a life, a party-er who decides to have “one for the road,” or the person who picks up a cell phone while driving. Your decisions can have devastating and irreversible
consequences and nothing you do can “fix” things. I hope that when I leave this place I call home I will remember only the beauty and tranquility of it – my “still waters and green pastures” where creatures, wild and tame, lived in harmony and synergy. Over and over I have stood in awe at the glory of a sunset, laughed out loud at the antics of a family of otters, marveled at the stillness of a blue heron patiently fishing and smiled as my beautiful geese glided effortlessly across the water. I have turned towards my house, Sam, Sara and my two dogs following close behind, and thanked God for the privilege of living in such a place and for the creatures that share it. I hope I will forget the injured and dying birds that have floated down the river
and ended up in my back yard over the years during hunting season. I hope I will forget the mournful keening of the lone goose who remains long after the flock has moved on, vainly searching for its mate. But most of all I hope I can erase the sight of my beautiful pristine white blue-eyed pets dying among the reeds while I stood helplessly by. That day we all became victims of a person who lacked basic common sense on so many levels. “I came, I saw, I shot.” Today’s world is a very dark place. Please be a little kinder to each other and to the beautiful creatures that share our space and brighten our days. Jeannie Dorion West Carleton
School boards should share more Continued from Page 8
As an Ontarian, I know the answer, but I still think that a much higher level of sharing of facilities and transportation is a reasonable expectation by local taxpayers. Other provinces have streamlined (to some degree) the administration of public education. I also think that it is only a matter of time be-

What the birds recently taught me I have said it many times before and I will say it again: every time I venture into Nature I see something new. It might be a plant or an insect that I had not met previously, or a behaviour that offers new insights into a common species. Last week I visited Lake Travers in Algonquin Park. Travers is as much a pregnant swelling on the Petawawa River as it is a lake. I love quietly exploring its shorelines by canoe, but on this trip high winds were forecast. so I left my canoe behind, which turned out to be a wise decision. My goal was to find shorebirds feeding on the mudflats along a marsh on the southeast corner of the lake, a destination I could reach by foot. Arriving at the marsh shortly after sunrise, one obscured by heavy cloud, I scanned the lake with my spotting scope. Seventeen Greater Scaup and a raft of 23 Common Mergansers were visible on the lake, but no birds adorned the mudflats. Then heavy squalls set in with driving rain and strong windblasts, two of which took down large trees in the forest behind me (amazing how much sound a falling tree makes). During the calm between storms, I spotted a sandpiper. It was a Greater Yellowlegs, a regular migrant, but this one was a late record for Algonquin. At first it stood there, its head nervously bobbing up and down in response to my presence. Then its bill stabbed into the water and came up with a wriggling object. It had caught
MichaelRuntz Nature’sWay a tadpole. Later, a literature search revealed that tadpoles seem not to be listed for that species’ diet. Thus, I had observed a Greater Yellowlegs eating an apparently unrecorded dietary item. I glanced at my camera to make sure the photos were sharp (a benefit of digital photography), but when I looked back at the sandpiper, it was crouched low in the water, motionless with its bill mostly submerged. And it had moved forward so that it was crouched beside plant stems arising from the water. This was clearly a defensive posture - it was making its body outline hard to see - so I scanned the skies for a predatory bird. When I looked behind, I spotted a large bird flying towards me. It was a Northern Goshawk, and the yellowlegs was hoping its cryptic behaviour would render it safe from that skilled hunter.
The goshawk seemed to not see the yellowlegs and, after briefly landing in a shoreline pine, vanished into the forest. When Merlins or Peregrine Falcons come across a group of shorebirds, the birds take flight. A flock offers more targets so the odds of any one bird being killed are low, so flight makes sense when there more than one bird is present. But when a shorebird is alone, as was this yellowlegs, the best strategy may well be to freeze and make itself as invisible as possible. In this case the strategy employed by the Greater Yellowlegs turned out to be the right one, for it lived to eat another day! The Nature Number is 613-3872503; email is mruntz@start.ca. Michael Runtz
Left, this Greater Yellowlegs is crouching low in the water to avoid detection. Above, this Northern Goshawk was the reason for the yellowlegs’ defensive posture.

Province to expand black bear hunt Ontario is proposing what the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) is calling a “massive” expansion of the spring bear hunt. A government news release calls the move a “hunting pilot program” aimed at gathering more information to assess concerns voiced by northern communities about human-bear conflicts, and to support economic growth and tourism in northern Ontario. First introduced on a limited basis in 2014 in an effort to address concerns from northern Ontario municipalities regarding nuisance bears in their communities, the pilot has been extended with some fairly significant changes, notes the OFAH.
The most substantial change involves the expansion of the hunt to all 88 Wildlife Management Units across Ontario, including Renfrew County, that currently have a fall bear hunt. “The OFAH congratulates the provincial government for recognizing that spring bear hunting is a valuable and sustainable wildlife management tool that offers many ecological, socioeconomic, and cultural benefits throughout the entire province,” says OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo in a news release. The proposed spring bear hunt pilot expansion, now available for public comment on Ontario’s Environmental Registry would include: • extending the pilot by an additional
five years, through to 2020; • all 88 wildlife management units that currently have a fall bear hunt; • non-resident hunters. Under the expanded pilot proposal, it would still be illegal to hunt bear cubs and females with cubs. Anyone convicted of this offence could face a fine of up to $25,000 and up to one year imprisonment. In most cases, each licensed hunter would only be allowed to hunt one bear in each calendar year. Baiting of bears during all bear hunting seasons would be regulated to help address possible public safety concerns. Ontario is home to about 105,000 black bears.
Provincial legislation will help fight against hogweed RUSS CORBETT/SUBMITTED

Ontario has passed legislation to support the prevention, early detection, rapid response and eradication of invasive species such as giant hogweed and northern snakehead. The Invasive Species Act received royal assent Nov. 3, following its passage in the Legislature on Oct. 21. The legislation aims to mitigate the significant social, economic and ecological impacts of invasive species. Its provisions:give Ontario the tools to ban the possession and transportation of certain invasive species; allow for earlier intervention and rapid response to keep invasive species from spreading, for example by preventing the movement of contaminated
firewood; help ensure compliance through modernized inspection and enforcement measures. The province says it will continue to work with key partners to educate the public and address the growing threat invasive species pose. Globally, costs to the environment, agriculture and communities from invasive species are estimated to be $1.4 trillion - the equivalent of five per cent of the global economy and seven times the cost of natural disasters. To report invasive species sightings, call the Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711 or email info@invadingspecies.com.

CHEO needs a new CT scanner that will transform CHEO’s ability to improve technique and decrease scan time. Pictures of your child’s brain or body can be obtained much faster! These pictures are very accurate and detailed and they allow radiologists to detect small and important changes or concerns.
It will have a tremendous impact on patient care. From babies to teenagers, patients who need these exams must be exposed to radiation in order to find a diagnosis. With the new technologies available, new scanners emit lower radiation doses significantly and are much faster. This means a patient spends less time on the CT table! It can mean a reduced need for anesthesia as well.

Arnprior ceremony Nov. 11 ensures sacrifices remembered Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The crowd gathered in front of the hospital and cenotaph for the annual Remembrance Day ceremony in Arnprior. The day was cloudy and cool, but the rain held off for the service. The parade started at the Legion and went through downtown before ending at the cenotaph. It was led by the Arnprior-McNab Pipes and Drums. The bells from St John Chrysostom Catholic Church rang out as the parade passed by. Residents and students stood along the sidewalk to pay tribute to the veterans. Like most ceremonies, there were SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND

the usual traditions. The national anthem was sung and the Last Post was played by Chris Trump. It was then followed by the two minutes of silence. Robert Smith performed with the pipes as well. Branch 174 Royal Canadian Legion president Harry Hereford emceed the ceremony with the help from Janet Tobio. Katharine Girdwood placed the first wreath of about 25 laid in front of the cenotaph. She was the Memorial Silver Cross Mother representative, representing all the mothers who have lost children in the service of their country. Girdwood’s late son, Danny Manship, was an Afghanistan veteran and he had passed away suddenly at the
age of 56. “The service was grand,” said Girdwood. “So was the lunch afterwards at the Legion.” Legion Branch 174 on Daniel Street offered food and comradeship to those who were interested following the ceremony. As the clock struck the 11th hour of the 11 day of the 11th month, people throughout the town stopped what they were doing and participated in the two minutes of silence. Included were the players in an oldtimers hockey game at the Nick Smith Centre. Two days before, at their Monday evening meeting, Arnprior councillors held a minute of silence to honour veterans.

PM Trudeau and wife address local We Day students Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
We Day for young activists, is known for the famous and inspirational speakers it attracts. But on Nov. 10, even We Day co-founders Craig and Marc Kielburger acknowledged they had a pair of particularly special guests to introduce. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau, made their first public address after the swearing-in ceremony on Nov. 4, in the form of a We Day speech to a crowd of about 16,000 students. In doing so, Trudeau was also addressing the crowd as the Minister of Youth, and gave the students in attendance a call to activism. Trudeau said he didn’t want young peoAdam Kveton/Metroland Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addresses a crowd of ple to think of themselves as leaders of toabout 16,000 young people, alongside his wife, So- morrow. “This is about you being leaders phie Grégoire-Trudeau, during the Ottawa We Day today,” he said. Trudeau continued, saying that, though on Nov. 10 at the Canadian Tire Centre.
the world today can make an individual question what they can possibly do to make a difference, he hammered home one of many of the day’s themes – that individually, youth volunteerism, fundraising and other positive acts are an important part of what youth do collectively to make the world a better place. Grégoire-Trudeau focused on self-confidence and love of self with her short speech, saying they are the start of positive acts. “By loving who you are for who you are, you are making everything else possible,” she said. By the end of their speeches, Free The Children ambassador and rap artist Kardinal Offishall led the crowd in a cheer of “Trudeau.” However, that lasted only moments, as Trudeau countered with a chant of “Canada,” which the crowd took up with gusto. Providing youth with the energy and inspiration to find a cause to support was
the emphasis of the day, with speakers like Heather Payne, founder of Ladies Learning Code, the Fonz actor Henry Winkler, chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Justice Murray Sinclair, and Canadian paralympian and philanthropist Rick Hansen. During his talk, Hansen focused on his experience overcoming his disability and the idea that he could no longer be an athlete. In an interview off stage, he said he believes Canadians are beginning to see voting as a responsibility as much as a right, adding that Trudeau’s theme of inclusivity, with a diverse cabinet with 50 per cent women, is a powerful message. Craig Kielburger pointed out the relatively young age of many of the cabinet ministers, and that Trudeau has retained the youth portfolio. He also expressed a hope for greater Canadian representation on global issues like poverty, the environment and equality.

Public elementary teachers approve new deal Staff
Ontario’s elementary teachers have voted strongly in favourite of a new deal with the province, alleviating any concerns their workto-rule campaign could be reinstituted. In an announcement last Friday, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) said its member voted 86 per cent in favour of ratifying the central agreement reached with the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association and the government. ETFO’s ‘double majority’ voting process means both a majority of eligible members and ETFO locals must ratify the central agreement through an all-member province-wide vote. Along with the 86 per cent yes vote, 98 per cent of ETFO locals voted to ratify. The agreement mirrors that reached with secondrary school teachers as well as those in the Catholic school system. The deals include raises of 1.5 per cent along with another one per cent bonus. However, the provincial government insists the deals will not add to the bottom line, as any increases will be offset by savings elsewher in the system. “While this round of bargaining was exceptionally lengthy and difficult, ETFO members pressed for improvements related to student learning conditions such as special education, class size and composition, teacher professional judgement and health and safety issues,”
said ETFO president Sam Hammond in the news release. Under the terms of the ETFO central agreement: ETFO, school board and education ministry representatives will develop recommendations on how to better support elementary students with special needs; • a review of full-day Kindergarten (FDK) staffing and class sizes will be undertaken by representatives from ETFO, school boards and the government; • a similar review will be undertaken of class sizes in Grades 4-8; • the right of teachers to use their professional judgment in the assessment and evaluation of students’ learning needs is now enshrined in collective agreements; • boards are now required to make every effort to avoid Kindergarten/Grade 1 split grade classrooms; •occasional teachers will be provided with classroom keys to ensure the safety of students and staff in the case of school lockdowns; • key recommendations of a September 2014 Health And Safety Task Force relating to the safety of students and teachers will be implemented by school boards. “The Liberal government needs to focus its attention on elementary students,” said Hammond. “Class sizes in FDK, junior and intermediate grades that are in line with those at the second-
ary level, and supporting elementary students with special needs, should be priorities for the government and school boards on an ongoing basis.” SECONDARY TEACHERS DEAL
A collective bargaining agreement has been ratified and approved by the Renfrew County public school board and its secondary school teachers. School board trustees voted Nov. 3 in favour of the deal, which ratifies the local contract it has with District 28 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) Renfrew County public secondary teachers voted in favour of the deal on Oct. 30. “There has been a lot of hard work to come up with this,” said school board chair David Shields. “We have a very good working relationship with District. We look forward to continuing that relationship in to the future.” District 28 teachers president Jeff Barber was present at the special board meeting to witness the vote. “We are very pleased to continue the positive working relationship we have enjoyed for many years with the RCDSB,” Barber said. SUPPORT WORKERS UNHAPPY
The agreements do not mean the labour un-
rest in the school system is over. The ETFO is continuing to bargain with the government on behalf of its members in the schools who are support workers and early childhood educators and support staff represented by the Ontario Senior Secondary Teachers Federation are in a legal strike position. The support staff are office clerical staff, technicians, educational assistants, early childhood educators, custodial and trade staff, psychologists, speech pathologists, English as a second language instructors, and childcare workers. “These are some of the lowest paid education workers and are among the most valuable to the education system,” said OSSTF District 25 vice-president Nancy Akehurst. “They are the first voice you hear when you contact the school or board and are the first people you see when you enter a school. They maintain the school and help keep it safe. They are the ones who help our vulnerable students.” OSSTF support staff have been without a contract for 14 months,” she added. “We currently have no central bargaining dates. “The government is now threatening to cut our wages by up to 10 per cent. Our members have been in a limited withdrawal of services since Oct. 5 in an attempt to induce the Province and the Council of Boards to return to the bargaining table.”

Joining them at the concert at the John St. Pub in downtown Arnprior will be Last Bullet, a high energy rock band from Toronto, and The Reed Effect, a heavy trio that pack a punch.

Sharing the stage with so many wonderful choristers, instrumentalists and soloists is truly special.” Lisa Webber, music director, Arnprior Community Choir Get ready for a wonderful opening to this year’s Sing Noel concert being presented by the Arnprior Community Choir under the direction of its founder Lisa Webber. To mark the 25th anniversary of the choir, the opening will be a true spectacle, with dancers, singers, instruments, and soloists. Arnprior School of Dance teacher and musical theatre extraordinaire, Andrea Bahm, has choreographed a truly spectacular number to set the tone at this year’s Sing Noel. All of this will take place Sunday, Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. at Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church on Baskin Drive. This year’s Sing Noel, an annual concert presented by the Arnprior Community Choir, will include a wonderful program of excellent choral music from both the adult choir and special guests, the high school girls’ ensemble. The girls in this choir, who are from Arnprior, Renfrew, and West Carleton, work hard each week to develop vocal technique, musical repertoire, Royal Conservatory of Music grade level requirements, and songs for recital and competitions. Students receive coaching for their community and school musical endeavours. The joy of singing together as a choral group is not only inspiring for the girls, but it will launch another generation of choral enthusiasts. The high school girls’ ensemble is accompanied by the ‘marvellous’ Elizabeth Brumm. Brumm is a teacher

Residents of Arnprior, you are in for a real treat this Christmas. On Sunday, Dec. 6, you will be playing host for the very first time to some of the finest choral musicians in the Ottawa Valley. The Stairwell Carollers will be descending on Harrington Street to help unlock the sacred mysteries of Christmas carols from distant times, lands and cultures. The Stairwell Carollers were founded by director Pierre Massie in the residence stairwells of Ottawa University in 1977. Conducted by Massie from within the tenor section, the Carollers have grown to become an award-winning 30member choir. Massie has won many awards for his own choral compositions. As he did in 2014, Massie has again created a haunting new Christmas carol – ‘Verbum Patris unamatur’ – that evokes the humble beginnings of the birth

Purple scarves promoted Erin Norris
“I want to thank you … for showing me I matter and that I do deserve all that is good and loving … for the first time in a very long time I feel like I can live the life I always wanted.” These are words from a former client of Bernadette McCann House where information, safety and support are provided to women and children experiencing abuse. November is Woman Abuse Awareness Month and as such Bernadette McCann House is encouraging the community to wear a purple
scarf for the third annual Wrapped in Courage campaign. The campaign is sponsored by the Ontario Nurses Association and Talk4Healing. Additionally, purple and white ribbons are available as another way to signify speaking out against violence and abuse. Purple scarves are available for purchase at Bernadette McCann House for $10 (call 613732-7776). This year an ‘infinity scarf’ version is available. Pins are available as well by donation. Donations raised from this campaign will go directly to clients accessing McCann House services.
MPP’s victims bill passes second reading The efforts by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski to tighten up restrictions on abusers has taken a major step forward. Yakabuski’s private member’s bill in support of victims in the wake of the triple murder of three women in Renfrew County on Sept. 22 has passed second reading in the provincial Legislature with all-party support. If passed into law, the Ministry of Correctional Services Amendment Act (Parole) will help keep victims of a violence crime safe by compelling inmates to sign their certificate of parole before they are let out. Additionally, it will also require electronic monitoring for violent offenders unless their victims are no longer deemed to be at risk. “I am pleased that my private member’s bill
has passed second reading only a week after I first tabled the bill” said Yakabuski. “It is promising that all MPPs can get behind measures that will make our parole system more accountable and bring additional security to victims of violence.” Yakabuski pointed out the accused in the triple-homicide, Basil Borustski, was released on parole even though he refused to sign his certificate of parole. In response to the “tragic consequences of that error,” Yakabuski hopes to make Ontario’s criminal justice system stronger and more responsible when it comes to the release and monitoring of parolees. Yakabuski noted getting all-party support for second reading of his private member’s bill shows willingness on the government’s side to act on this issue.

My journey with L’Arche Arnprior L’Arche Arnprior
My journey with L’Arche Arnprior began more than 25 years ago. In 1990, I had the privilege of being a board member for a year. That was my first exposure to this wonderful organization founded by Jean Vanier in 1964 to support adults with mental and physical disabilities. I did not know then that it, and particularly the people who are part of this caring community, would literally change my life. Over the next 25 years, I became closely tied to the community and many of the individuals in it. How did it change my life? In my previous work, I was an agricultural economist for Agriculture Canada commuting daily to Ottawa. My work was interesting, and at times challenging, but over the 15 years that I worked there, the focus changed as various governments came and went. The value of individuals seemed to me to be non-existent, and the value of the work I did was rarely recognized. Becoming a member of the L’Arche community changed all that for me. I felt that I was valued for who I was. My worth was not de-
pendent on the size of my desk, the colour of the carpet on the floor, the kind of chair that I sat in, whether I had an office with windows. It was life-changing and life-giving. My work at L’Arche became a passionate vocation, to walk with not just the individuals who had mental and physical disabilities, but all the people who had also chosen L’Arche as their vocation. What a joy it was to actually want to go to work in the morning, to be excited about what the day might bring. Three years ago, I retired from my paid employment in L’Arche, but there is something about L’Arche for me, and I cannot stay away. I have come full circle from my first exposure to L’Arche and am again serving on the volunteer board of L’Arche Arnprior. I continue to have wonderful life-long friendships with many individuals in the L’Arche community. If you are interested in being a volunteer board member or wish to volunteer in any capacity, please contact the L’Arche Arnprior at 613-623-7323, ext. 123. GIFTs OF LIGHT

The idea to hold an ‘It shouldn’t hurt to be a child’ hockey tournament came to Dave McCormick in a phone call. The tournament, now in its 30th year, kicks off this Friday, Nov. 20 at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior. McCormick received a call at his Ottawa home. “One of those telemarketers,” he said. “It was for a cookbook and I wasn’t interested in that.” The funds for the cookbook were to go towards Victims of Violence Canadian Centre for Missing Children. When he heard that, everything snowballed. Victims of Violence is a charitable organization. The impact of what was being done became meaningful for McCormick when he met Gary and Sharon Rosenfeldt. The couple were the founding members of the organization. Their 16-year-old son Daryn was one of 11 children abducted and murdered by a serial killer in British Columbia in 1981. “What started out as a one-day 10team event has blossomed over the years to include over 40 teams and 600 participants,” said McCormick.
There have been more than 80 sponsors and local busiPlayers come from Montreal and Toronto to play as well as all around the ness that have supported this event. Ottawa area and up the Valley. The event has raised more than $225,000 through the years. The charity tournament, which has now been around for 30 years, started simply with McCormick’s men’s hockey team. They usually gave money to local charities throughout the area. “Gary Rosenfeldt has since passed,” said McCormick. “He was described at his funeral service as a national hero, one who stood up and challenged government to change the laws.” Sharon now lives in Carleton Place and checks in on the charity office from time to time. Brittany Faulkner is the person who keeps the charity going these days. This year’s event will have 48 Event starts today!

The tournament kicks off Friday with a 6 p.m. kick-off opening cer- v emony, followed by an Arnprior versus Almonte novice game. Games continue on Saturday and wrap up on Sunday with the finals. There will be live entertainment on both Friday and Saturday evenings along with a silent and live auction.

to Ottawa region golf professionals and their guests, saw players bundling up to face some very raw weather. Many had their golf carts covered and – nice touch – little portable butane heaters inside their carts to keep hands warms and muscles relaxed. Another little bottle too was passed about here and there to warm one’s innards. Volunteer scorers oversaw the tournament and all enjoyed hot chilli lunch and after the afternoon’s chilly play, a satisfying meal of hot delicious lasagne. This year’s trophy winners were Allen McGee’s team who came in with a score of -11. Team Graham Gunn (last year’s winners) scored -10 and four teams tied at -9. Team Cantley won the only skin with a birdie on Hole # 3. Congratulations to all! The second Polar Bear Scramble, held for members of the club, was snowed out on its original start date, but a week later the sun shone despite the 7° C temperature.

ADHS hoopsters win double championships, host EOSSAA Scott Campbell
Heartsong YOGA Studio scott.campbell@metroland.com
The Arnprior District High School girls basketball teams added two more Upper Ottawa Valley titles last week to the school’s impressive total. Both the senior and junior teams swept their best-of-three championship series with RCI of Renfrew two straight. With the ADHS main gymnasium finally repaired, the girls celebrated playing their first home games in more than a month with convincing wins Nov. 11 in both game twos of the finals. The strong performance by both teams really made them games to remember for their fans. Both teams completed undefeated seasons in Upper Ottawa Valley league play. The seniors will host the Eastern Ontario AA championships (EOSSAA) today and Friday (Nov. 1920). The juniors also hosted EOSSAA on Wednesday (after press deadline). In the opening game of the Valley final series Nov. 9 in Renfrew, ADHS,

court Nov. 11, as Arnprior cruised to a 69-32 win to capture the title.
Coach Phil Moore was delighted his players executed so well both defensively and offensively. Their constant ball pressure and speed keep RCI players on their heels. “It was a great team effort,” he said. Moore said that Paula Meek, who led the team with 17 points, had a huge game on the boards. Logan Kenny scored 16 points including five three-pointers, Sydney Friske had 10 points and Olivia McIntyre added nine. The senior girls will be competing for the two spots at the Ontario (OFSAA) championships when they host six of the top ‘AA’ teams from Eastern Ontario at EOSSAA this week. ADHS plays its first game today (Thursday) at 1 p.m. against St. Joseph’s of Cornwal and follows up at 4 p.m. against LaSalle of the Kingston area. Other teams are Sydenham, Carleton Place and Thousand Islands. The semi-finals are set for 10 and 11:30 a.m. Friday, with the consolation final at 1:30 p.m. and the championship final at 3 p.m. See JUNIORS, Page 28

Junior girls cap undefeated season with County championship Continued from Page 27
The story line for the junior girls’ Valley final was similar to that of the seniors. The Junior Redmen, 10-0 in the regular season, almost lost their first Valley game of the season as RCI gave them all they could handle. ADHS finally prevailed 39-37 in Renfrew. However, in game two Nov. 11, Arnprior pulled ahead 13-4 in the first quarter and never looked back, leading 27-5 at half-time and winning 44-18. Sydney Moore, Jesse Bryson and Katie McIntyre led the offense early and Lizzie Wyatt and Ashley Sparling each had five points in the second quarter. RCI was held to one point in the second quarter as Sydney Moore, Jesse Bryson, Katie McIntyre, Lizzie Wyatt and Ashley Sparling led a smothering defense that never let their rivals get back in the game. Delaney Leavoy was the star for RCI and scored 10 of the team’s 18 points. The ADHS junior girls finished with 13 straight wins (10 in the regular season and three in the playoffs). It was the fourth straight perfect season for the ADHS junior basketball tema and the future looks promising as of the 13 players on the roster only three are Grade 10s. The other 10 are Grade 9s. ADHS hosted five top teams in the Junior Girls AA EOSSAA tournament Wednesday, Nov. 18 with the final game played at 6 p.m. With files from John Carter

Two road loses extends Packers losing skid to three coach Bill Griese. “We have too many guys wanting to make a difference and trying to do too much.” Char-Lan eventually pulled out a 6-3 win. Zack Elliot, Chris King and Dean Galasso scored for the Packers. “There was very little passing, very little team play,” said Griese. “Basically it was a mess for 60 minutes. Slumps will do this to you. Young players think they have to do everything perfect. The older players think getting pucks in deep loses us momentum and it compounds and it makes for very ugly hockey.” The next day the Packers headed to Metcalfe to play
scottcampbell@metroland.com
It was a tough road weekend for the Arnprior Packers as both games resulted in a loss. The team took their first ever trip to Char-Lan Satruday to play the Rebels, but came home empty-handed. Matthew Dods returned to the net for the Packers after battling a virus and missing the last few games. He didn’t get much help from his team in his first game back. Char-Lan came out flying with 14 shots and two goals in the first period. In the same time-frame, the Packers did not register one shot. “We are in a scoring slump right now,” said

Metcalfe ruled the first two periods easily, jumping ahead 4-0. Packers managed two goals in the third but by then it was just too late. Galasso and King were the marksmen to make the final score 5-2. “We played much better,” said Griese. “We were very competi-

The Packers will try to get back on track tonight (Nov. 19) as they play their lone game for the week away to the Ottawa West Golden Knights. Back on Oct. 15, Arnprior was able to squeak out a 4-3 win. Their next home game is Friday, Nov. 27 when Metcalfe comes to town.

Debt
A bi-weekly guide on how to manage debt
At Doyle Salewski, we help people just like you every day.
Q: If you are carrying more debt than you can afford, you may be considering a consumer proposal or even filing a bankruptcy. You may also be concerned about keeping your financial situation private. Who will find out? Your family? Yours neighbors? Your boss?
A: It’s 2015. Information has never been easier to access, whether it’s through the internet or otherwise. Some of you may have already been victims of privacy breaches, whether it’s financial or other personal information that has been stolen or somehow been made public. Financial information is some of the most sensitive information you own and should be kept that way, especially when you are going through a difficult time. In most consumer proposals and bankruptcies, the only people in your personal .CA circle who will know will be the ones you choose to tell unless they are your creditors. While bankruptcies are a matter of public record, they are not advertised in local newspapers unless your free assets (assets less secured liabilities) exceed $15,000. So who will find out? Here is a list of those that your licensed Trustee must notify: 1. The Government: Your licensed Trustee will file your consumer proposal or bankruptcy with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB), the federal agency responsible for administering bankruptcy law. These are public records and anyone (including your in-laws) can pay a fee to run a check on your name. 2. Your Creditors: Once your licensed Trustee has filed the necessary paperwork with the OSB, he/she will have to notify all of your creditors. This will include any .CA friends/relatives that you have listed as creditors.

The professionals at Doyle Salewski Inc. are fully experienced in providing financial management advice including credit counselling, consumer proposals, budgeting, debt settlement, debt consolidation, and bankruptcy. Our team works throughout Ontario and Quebec.
3. The Credit Bureau: Equifax and Transunion are the two credit reporting agencies in Canada. A consumer proposal will be reported until three years have passed after you have completed your payments. A record of your first bankruptcy will be reported until six years have passed after your absolute discharge. During these reporting periods, these records will be shared with any potential lenders who request a credit check which you have authorized. 4. Your Employer: In cases where your wages have been garnished, your licensed Trustee must stop the garnishment and your employer will receive a notice. Otherwise, the licensed Trustee has no obligation to send a notice of consumer proposal or bankruptcy to your employer. Additionally, if your work requires you to have security clearance or has bonding requirements, a proposal or bankruptcy may impact your work and you may have to report this to your employer. However, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act specifically prohibits any employer from firing an individual solely based upon filing a proposal or a bankruptcy. If you are burdened with debt stress, asking for sound advice is a sign of strength and the smart thing to do. Asking sooner rather than later is always better. Call Doyle Salewski today for your free, no obligation consultation. You’ll be glad you did.

ADHS wins another Lanark-Renfrew senior football title Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
The Arnprior Redmen had a job to do Friday, Nov. 13 in Perth where they took on the St. John Catholic High School Spartans in the senior Lanark-Renfrew Football League (LRFL) final. It was a miserable day with rain turning the field to a mud hole, and players got testy throughout the second half. The teams were tied 7-7 at the end of the first quarter, but ADHS went ahead 10-7 at the half-way point. The Redmen scored a third quarter TD and hung tough the rest of the way for a 17-7 victory and a ticket to the EOSSAA ‘AA’ semi-final game this Saturday, Nov. 21 in Arnprior at 1 p.m. at the Oattes Field at ADHS. It was Arnprior’s fifth county cup in seven years. ADHS will host the BrockvilleKingston area champions, the Thousand Island Secondary School, who eked by the LaSalle Black Knights of Kingston 28-27. The winner will move on to the EOSSAA title showdown in Ottawa or Beckwith Saturday, Nov. 28 in the National Capital Bowl game.

The Arnprior Redmen crowd around the Lanark-Renfrew senior football trophy they won in a 17-7 win over the St. John Catholic Spartans in Perth last Friday in less than stellar weather conditions. It wasn’t the result that the Spartans were looking for, and tempers flared in the second half. St. John lost several yards because of it. It didn’t help matters that a visiting parent had to be escorted from
the 17-7 win. Redmen co-coach Trevor Rosine said his team worked really hard this year and stayed focused under pressure. “We ran into a few problems early on in the season when Noah
the sidelines as he stood on the field in the end zone as the Spartans were trying to hold off the Redmen’s rush. He was quickly removed from the field by the referees as Arnprior took a knee to watch the time expire on
(Potter) our starting quarterback, who went down. We were playing a bunch of guys in different spots and when we played these guys (Spartans) the last time we had about four or five offensive players out with injuries (Arnprior suffered its only regular season loss to St. John 27-6), so we had everybody back healthy (for the final).” Rosine said the only thing he wanted to see on the field was his players to do their jobs. “We had to execute our jobs and play well-disciplined football … we’d be county champs again.” After being held in check through the first half of the game, his small, offensive speedy linesmen and mobile receivers were the key to victory, said Rosine. “And when the weather dries up a little bit, that helps,” he said. “We said, just stay with it. Good plays, execute the plays and stay with it. Eventually the points come.” The coach had kudos for his fifthyear players, “running backs, John Russell and Will Ruddy worked really hard and a lot of stuff we were able to do was because of them.

Players praised for tenacity, discipline “We have an excellent offensive line that works really hard at what they do,” said Rosine. “They’re small and mobile. Our receiving core is quick and they all have great hands. “Our quarterback, Noah Potter, is a big reason for (the success of) our offense too,” he added. The coach congratulated his boys for their tenacity. “Our defense held when they need-
ed to hold. They gave up one or two long drives, one for a touchdown and then they managed to hold on the other one. “We just preached to our players to play good, disciplined football.” In the Lanark-Renfrew Junior football, the Spartans, who ousted Arnprior 26-22 last week, lost 28-0 to the defending champions Almonte Thunderbolts in Almonte. It was Almonte’s third title in as many years.

Marion “Jean” Douglas (McLaren), lover of music, avid reader, and generous soul, has danced her last dance under the stars. Jean fought hard and bravely against the breast cancer that took her from us on November 7th, 2015, she passed peacefully surrounded by family. She was a young 62, and will be dearly missed, but never forgotten. Jean worked hard at everything she did, whether it was building trailers or building a family near the town of Renfrew, where she grew up. She was a dedicated student at the University of Guelph, and was extremely happy and proud when she finished her Master’s degree in I/O Psychology. Her friends and family were very proud of her also. She excelled at a career she loved, which started in Toronto and finished in Vancouver, spanning over 25 years. In British Columbia she became a Mother-in-law to Susan Webster and a Grandma to Gavyn and Kyla whom she loved with all her heart. Some of her favorite memories were when she brought her grandchildren to Faerieworlds, she enjoyed herself immensely there, and loved all things Fae and Magical. She often lost herself in a good book, or a favorite song. Jean loved all her family, she was predeceased by her mother, Frances Eleanor (Danis) McLaren, and her father, William Robert McLaren. She will be greatly missed by her siblings James, Margaret (Mark), Robert, William (Jemma), Peter (Susan), Patricia (David), and Cleve. Jean also leaves behind Jim and Laverne Douglas, and many nieces, nephews and friends. Her son James and daughter-in-law Susan will think of her often, and her grandchildren Gavyn and Kyla will remember her warm smile and loving hugs. A special thanks to Jean’s dear friend Lainy, and to the nursing staff and the palliative care team at McKenney Creek Hospice in Maple Ridge for their care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, or do something nice for a stranger, and think of Jean, she’ll like that.

Mary’s ‘Pride of the Valley’ was on show for classmates For once I was grateful for the fleece-lined navy blue bloomers that I had to wear as soon as the cold Fall days rolled around. Usually, I hated them with a passion. I used to think I was the only one at the Northcote School who had to wear them. But I learned that all of the girls in the junior grades, with the exception of bad Marguirite, of course, put them on when winter was about to set in. Nonetheless that year, I was more than grateful for the bloomers that came once a year from Eaton’s catalogue, replacing the ones that would end up in the rag bag, and eventually become part of the endless braided rugs that covered our floors in the wintertime. My sudden gratitude for the bloomers had to do with the underpants Mother made that year out of the flour bags she brought home from the grist mill in Renfrew. You never wore the navy bloomers next to your skin. You always wore underpants, which were homemade. Mother’s trip to the grist mill that year was no different from any other. The bags were piled in stacks
along one wall, and beside each pile there was a price written in chalk on the floor. Of course, Mother never paid the price that was marked. She always managed to talk down the man who ran the grist mall, once telling him she saw better bags hanging in the cow byre at home. He was used to Mother’s negotiations, and she always ended up paying her price, which I thought was pretty clever of Mother, who before she moved from New York City to the backwoods of Renfrew County, had never laid eyes on a flour bag in her life! Once we got the bags home, the job of getting them ready to be made into underpants, tea towels, aprons or whatever else Mother found the need for, was no easy task. They had to have their seams opened, then washed at least twice to get rid of whatever flour was still holding on, and then they got the

Javel treatment, to try to get rid of as much of the printing as possible that adorned every bag. Well, that year, were we in for a surprise! For some reason, the company decided to print both sides of the bags. Always, before that year, the printing was on one side, and the other was as white as the driven snow. And it was the white side that became bloomers, tea towels and pillow slips. The printed side was used whenever there was a need for a clean rag for any number of chores around the house. And so, to my horror, my new bloomers, the printing held fast in spite of several washings and soaking in Javel water. There was nothing I could do, but wear the hateful
things under my fleece lined blue bloomers. In those days, it wasn’t unusual to have your backside soaked to the skin from sliding down snow piles, or covered in mud, or just damp to the touch from the intense blast of the old stove in the middle of the room that pounded out a heat like you wouldn’t believe. And so we girls with the sodden seats would go into the cloak room at the back of the school room, take off the bloomers, and tuck them into the sleeve of our coat. Well! There was no way I was going to shed those navy blue fleece lined bloomers and expose my newly made flour -bag underwear with the vivid printing as plain as the nose on your face. And so I sweated it out in my seat, grateful for the first time in my life for the hateful blue bloomers. And it didn’t matter how often those underpants were washed, the dye held fast. And I didn’t have too many other pairs to fall back on either. My sister Audrey said I could fade out the bright navy and red print by
rubbing it all over with chalk. Of course, we both knew that would only be a temporary cure. No, there was no doubt about it, the dye was there to stay. I was sure I was the only one at the Northcote School with ‘PRIDE OF THE VALLEY’ written across her seat. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?
