Town hears update on trail system derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – A strip of vacant rail corridor land destined to be “Arnprior’s Central Park” came up for discussion at the most recent council meeting. Mayor David Reid is keen to see the property that runs parallel to William Street turned into a park. It could become the site of a new town hall and a relocated cenotaph. But it would definitely see the rail tracks turned into the Trans Canada Trail system. It was the topic of a trail system – for hik-

ing, cycling and more - that brought two county representatives to the Nov. 10 meeting for a presentation. Paul Moreau and Jason Davis updated councillors (Lyle Anderson was absent) on last summer’s tour of various municipalities with a trail system. “It’s an important piece of land through the middle of Arnprior,” Reid said when introducing the pair. Davis talked about Owen Sound’s system, that was given over in “as is” condition by CN for $1 many years ago. It is run by the local conservation authority (Renfrew County doesn’t have

News – Having to work on Remembrance Day didn’t deter two garbage collectors in Arnprior from paying their respect to Canada’s veterans. Arnprior resident Doug Gordon reports he was out for a walk on the morning of Nov. 11 when he witnessed a heart-warming sight. Gordon was walking on Charles Street when he stopped to talk with another walker out with her dog. As they were chatting, a garbage truck came up the street behind them, stopping at each home to collect garbage. Gordon said he could hear that the garbagemen were listening to a Remembrance Day ceremony. As 11 a.m. approached, he heard the strains of the

Last Post coming from the truck’s radio. Suddenly, the truck stopped and the two garbage collectors jumped out, took off their hats and stood quietly at attention for the two minutes of silence. Struck by their reverence, Gordon and the other walker did the same. “The street was absolutely silence,” he said. Once the two minutes were up, the two men got back in the truck and resumed their labours. “That was one of the most meaningful Remembrance Day celebrations I’ve been involved in,” said Gordon, who has marched in parades and attended many services on Nov. 11. “What they did was very nice.” For more Remembrance Day coverage, see Pages 31, 33 and 34.

one). Officials there recommended much public engagement, meaning residents’ opinions, open houses and the like. They also said building partnerships with recreational groups is important. So is linking trails with other popular pathways and trails. Hastings County near Toronto bought its 140kilometres of trail for $100,000 from CP in 1999. It is maintained by a private group. The municipality provides a $25,000 annual budget. The K&P trail that runs south to Calabogie and beyond also came up. Davis said the trail system running through the county and into Ottawa is “the backbone” of Eastern Ontario. It would link with many others in the area, creating an impressive network. The county will meet Nov. 27 with CP to form an agreement in principle to acquire the land in 2017, Canada’s bicentennial. All agreed the process is moving slower than hoped. Council was also updated on the hazardous materials building assessment and the asbestos program. Many of the town’s public buildings are old and contain dangerous materials that don’t

Paramedic Mike Nolan decided to make better use of the down time. He and his colleagues now visit at-risk residents. They take blood pressure readings and perform overall assessments.

Chief administrative officer Michael Wildman was adamant that as long as asbestos – a carcinogenic acting as insulation – remains undisturbed behind walls, there is no risk to the health of employees or the public. “If the consultant had recommended something be removed, it would have been done so already,” Wildman said. “So just to reiterate, there is nothing to pose a risk to anyone as we speak.” There is no plan to remove the materials.

Gov’t ‘indifference’ fosters neglect in long-term care homes: study ‘We’re not factory workers, these are human beings we’re looking after.’ Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – What started out as a desire to help people in a respectable, rewarding profession has for many turned into a heartbreaking exercise in frustration. The Ontario government’s indifference to care quality, provincial policies and low funding for longterm care are fostering systemic neglect of residents, says a recent focus study group made up of personal support workers (PSWs) and registered practical nurses (RPNs) from five Ontario communities.

“What PSWs and RPNs told us are frank, powerful and often heartbreaking accounts of how, despite their outmost efforts and dedication they are forced to provide what amounts to substandard care to residents,” said Kevin Tyrrell a regional vice-president with the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) in releasing the report Long-Term Care in Ontario: Fostering Systemic Neglect - at an Arnprior media conference Nov. 13. The unions representing registered practical nurses and personal support workers commissioned the

A voice for residents

“PSWs and RPNs simply do not have adequate time to provide residents with the social and emotional care they desperately need,” said Tyrrell. “Fed up with provincial government indifference, PSWs and RPNs are speaking up, giving voice to the many residents who have no family to advocate for better quality care and a mandatory staffing ratio of eight PSWs per resident. Ninety-one per cent of study participants said they aren’t

able to provide good, quality care and 97 per cent identified not enough staff and heavy workloads as the key barrier to quality care. “It’s the provision of emotional care that is key to providing LTC residents with a ‘home’ to live in, rather than a facility where they are simply ‘warehoused,’” said Tyrrell. Dorothy Winterburn, a Minden PSW who joined Tyrrell at the conference, told of her own challenges in providing quality care of which she can be proud Winterburn has been working in long-term care for 13 years and said often residents become like family members, to the point where when she shops she picks up personal items or gifts for them. “I would come in for visits on my days off or stay after my shift because we have no time to be social on any shift,” said Winterburn. “I think one of the most important facts to come out of the focus group that PSWs

made some great strides, said Campbell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really proud of the economic development committee. That was the community taking leadership,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were really concerned about finding creative ways of keeping our tax base low by introducing more commercial activity. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing the fruits of that, even though the committee disbanded.â&#x20AC;? Several of the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas and suggestions were backed up by the economic development report completed in 2013 by Dr. Bruce Firestone and his company FA Capital Lands Inc., said Campbell. Needing a hub in the community and establishing the area as a retirement community are among the items identified by the committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort consolidated some of the directions of the committee,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has given our community confidence to branch out and do things.â&#x20AC;? A strong Waba Cottage Museum and Gardens that hosts special events including the annual Victorian Tea and a strengthening fire department that has started a successful junior firefighter program and this year earned rave reviews as host of an Eastern Regional extrication competition are proof of the community taking pride in itself, she said.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Outgoing McNabBraeside Mayor Mary Campbell is ready to move on. After two terms as mayor, Campbell garnered just 661 votes in the Oct. 27 election, coming third to successful candidate Tom Peckett (1,476) and Aldene Styles (1,112). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank the people of McNab-Braeside for the opportunity to serve them for eight years,â&#x20AC;? said Campbell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m moving on.â&#x20AC;? Campbell said it may be hard to keep council members, all of whom lost their seat in the Oct. 27 municipal election, motivated over the next couple of weeks before the new council is sworn in at the Dec. 1 inaugural meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody did their best,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really proud to have worked with all the individuals on the current council. Even though we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always agree, it was a very responsible and ethical group.â&#x20AC;? With most of the successful candidates critical of councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to end shared recreation and library agreements with the towns and subsequent handling of the issue, many predicted the incumbents would be stung by the backlash at election time. Was Campbell surprised by the election results?

We could never get consensus on council to give alternatives.â&#x20AC;? Campbell said she still comes across people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully get the recreation issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are really intelligent, caring people and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way we were doing our recreation agreements. We were subsidizing programs that were only affordable to a portion of the township,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The study also identified that lax infection control and delayed testing of new residents for common infection and unsafe situations where there are no staff members on the floor are huge concerns. The type of resident coming in is sometimes completely different than what the homes once saw. Cutbacks in psychosocial programs have seen clients turn to long-term care facilities and adult assisted living residents are a reality, as well, said Tyrell. Violence and aggression can be a factor and staff members aren’t trained to deal with these issues. RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendations include: staffing ratios of one PSW per resident, based on acuity levels of residents; creating segregated units for violent residents and staff accordingly; implementing pre-placement infectious disease testing and providing staff time to take best practice precautions like gowns, masks and gloves to minimize outbreaks; establish acuity levels for current and incoming residents; and implementing care-appropriate units. What can the public do to help the cause? “The crux of this whole issue is

funding,” said Tyrrell. “Any lobbying people can do to their MPP or even for that matter their MP, is great.” He explained the issue involves not just public sector homes but all longterm care facilities. Currently the long-term care budget in Ontario is roughly $2 billion, said Tyrell. Implementing the recommendations would cost about an additional $5 billion, but there’s money in the system being misspent and formulas that aren’t working. “We’d be looking at about 50,000 RPNs and PSWs infused into the system,” he said. “From our point of view a good portion of that money is there, it’s how it’s being spent.” STUDY DETAILS

The study itself was conducted with 35 PSWs and 17 RPNs, working at facilities in Guelph, Blind River, Ottawa, Minden and Toronto. Urban homes made up 57 per cent of the total and 43 per cent were in rural areas. Eighty-nine per cent of participants were female and 11 per cent male and the vast majority was between 35-64 years old. Sixty-nine per cent have worked in long-term care for between 6-20 years and 57 per cent worked fulltime hours while 40 per cent said they worked part time.

Mourning and the Holiday Season

When wetlands shrink basements tend to flood Continued from front

“These changes will significantly impact the quantity and quality of the wetlands, streams and lakes in this region,” reads the study. Retreating wetlands will likely threaten homeowners, too, according to Jackie Oblak. “The projections are that droughts will increase in frequency and length of time,” said Oblak, the study’s spokesperson. “Wetlands have a number of functions such as habitat for animals, yes. But they also mitigate the effects of extreme rainfall events. They absorb quick influxes and release gradually. “Basements are not flooded because of that wetland down the road. Roads like Dunrobin (that washed out twice in two years) don’t have to be repaired because a wetland was protected.” UPSIDE OF CLIMATE CHANGE

There could be positives come out of global climate change, Oblak conceded. Warmer temperatures are good for grain farmers. Plants and animals from warmer regions could fill the void left locally. And as the tree line moves closer to the Arctic, more wetlands and habitat will open northward for animals facing threats here. Jokingly, Oblak said she

The holiday season is upon us. It is a season of great anticipation and excitement. For many it can also be a time of dread and depression. The holidays can be very difficult if you have recently experienced the death of a significant person in your life. With all the messages of family togetherness and joy, the emptiness left when someone dies can be harsh and draining. These feelings are all the more painful in sharp contrast to what society seems to “expect” us to feel. At Hospice Renfrew on Wednesday, November 26, from 7:00 – 9:00 P.M. there will be a special workshop designed to help you cope more effectively with your grief during the holiday season and bring some comfort home. The facilitator for this workshop is Ian Henderson, a life coach and grief educator. Ian is a graduate of the Death and Grief Studies Program at the Center for Loss and Life Transition in Fort Collins, Colorado. Ian offers support groups and one-on-one grief coaching to the bereaved. He has been presenting educational workshops in Ontario for the last 7 years. We are holding this workshop in the lower level of the hospice. There is limited seating, so advanced registration is required. Please register by Friday, November 21. Call 613-433-3993, extension 2231 or use support@hospicerenfrew.ca to email us. Space at the hospice is limited, so register early. Seats are available on a “first come, first served” basis. Please leave a name and contact number so your registration can be confirmed and you can be assured a seat. There is no fee to attend this workshop. Donations in support of the palliative care and bereavement services at Hospice Renfrew are always welcome. Generous community contributions and grant money from Renfrew County United Way have made this workshop possible. 1120.R0022968692

isn’t a fan of winter, which is one good thing about global warming in Canada. But the joke doesn’t last long when it comes to species attempting to adapt to the rapid changes. Invasive species such as zebra mussels face no native predators, thus wreak havoc. The pine beetle jumped the Rockies and is moving across the boreal forest, killing massive tracts of greenery. It will likely reach the Ottawa area, thanks to climate change. More large insects, lizards and exotic plants could arrive without the wall of long, cold winters in place. BE PREPARED

The key for humans, Oblak said, is the acceptance of climate change as a fact. It must move beyond the scientific community, she added, stressing that politicians and all sectors of society have to face the reality and begin preparations: only with solid data can humanity take advantages of emerging opportunities and hope to adapt successfully. “The decision-makers and policymakers need the information from this study,” she said. “We need to recognize that things are changing and that we need to monitor and begin to address them.” Not only that, but science has been shown to underestimate the effects of climate change. The current study, for example, doesn’t factor in prospective stresses caused by human endeavours, such as Energy East’s oil pipeline proposal to pass under

the Mississippi and Rideau rivers. Were the pipeline to rupture, the effects would be devastating. Understandably, there are too many variables at play when it comes to human developments. Asked how a study that looks decades down the road can influence decision-makers and the public today - many of whom show little concern for future generations - Oblak pointed to the benefits of long-term planning in other areas. Governments have recently built infrastructure replacement costs into their budgets. When a bridge is built, funds are set aside each year to replace it. Will that type of thinking be applied to contributions nature makes to human societies? There’s a school of thought that all is lost; change had to have come 30 years ago or more; humanity has signed a collective suicide pact; no dominant species has escaped extinction; we may as well quit trying to fight climate change and go out with a bang. Oblak said there is no proof humanity is doomed. The dystopian visions put out by Hollywood are no more true than their opposite. The future is not predetermined. “Things are projected to be different. That is all. How we chose to adapt – if we do it successfully – will decide (our fate).” The prey may change, but the hunters and fishermen who are willing to adapt may survive to pass on their traditions.

News – McNab-Braeside’s Nov. 4 council package included an interoffice memo from recreation director Geoff Patterson that provided an update on ongoing recreation projects. Site assessment has been done in preparation for the Wellington Park splash pad. Flow rates have been determined and sent to the well driller to determine feasibility and if the system could accommodate demands, report-

News – The onslaught of cold weather this week and increased concerns about the well-being of feral cats in the area of the Arnprior Villa. Villa resident Sylvia Robertson has noticed up to a dozen cats living in the bush between the seniors home and State Farm Insurance. The cats have been reported to the Arnprior and District Humane Society, but the Arnprior shelter is already overrun with cats and can’t take any more, noted Robertson. She said an employee of the Villa has been feeding the cats occasionally to prevent them from starving. As well, residents feed them once in awhile, she said. However, a longer term solution is needed, she said, adding that a couple of kittens have been found dead in the area. “If anyone wants a cat, there are some here for you,” she said. A kitten rescued from the cold in Carleton Place this week made the news because it made a miraculous recovery from being almost frozen to death. Feral cats have been a long-standing problem in several local areas, most notably in Braeside. The humane society has a push on to promote cat adoptions with a $50off deal. The society is also urging people to vote starting in December for the Arnprior shelter in an Aviva online contest for up to $50,000 in grant money, which it could use to help deal with the cat problem.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move four-laning highway work just yet S

o some of our neighbours up the Valley would like to see the work on four-laning Highway 17 skip up to the Pembroke-Petawawa area. Well, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not get carried away. They do have a point regarding the traffic problems in their area, but jumping the line at this time is premature. Having the four lanes suddenly end in the middle of McNab-Braeside short of the Calabogie turnoff and the Renfrew exits make no sense. In fact, the four-laning of the Trans Canada Highway northwest out of Arnprior should not stop until at least it gets to Chenaux Road and the important link with La Belle Province. Then perhaps the Ministry of Transportation can consider skipping north to deal with the Pembroke-Petawawa-Deep River bottleneck. Highways officials actually might like to leave the Haley Station to Meath Hill stretch on the backburner for a while, considering the MTOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferred route on the east side of Jeffreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s/Olmstead and Muskrat lakes has, and will, face a great deal of opposition. However, in this area, the route has been chosen, and supported, for years. No controversy to dog the project in these parts other than the occasional concerns with blasting. However, there will be a furor if the narrowing of the highway from four to two lanes shifts from Campbell to Scheel Drive then stalls as the project takes its focus elsewhere. Having all that traffic funneling into two lanes at Scheel Drive, which takes relatively few vehicles off the highway, is asking for trouble. At least there is some relief at the Campbell Drive

narrowing, as traffic thins somewhat because of the Arnprior-White Lake exits. Leaving the four lanes short of Calabogie Road would worsen the problems at that busy intersection, already the subject of local appeals for traffic lights. The four-laning project needs to continue as soon as possible (will it really take another two years to finish the short distance to Scheel Drive?) to at least Calabogie Road to make it safer and more convenient for the growing numbers coming to and fro from that popular cottage country. And then the focus should be on getting it to Renfrew and the well-travelled Highway 60 link to Algonquin Park. Once you get to Renfrew, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the four-lanes funneling into two before you cross the Bonnechere River Bridge. That would be a recipe for disaster. So best bite the bullet, fund the twinning of the Bonnechere River bridge, then continue on along a relatively easy route to Haley Station and the link with Quebec. Then MTO can look into skipping up to Pembroke to provide a permanent solution to the traffic volume and collision problems that plague that area. Highways is taking some steps to improve things there with rumble strips and improved intersections. But it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense to suddenly relocate its four-laning resources up the Valley if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to result in increased safety and traffic flow problems in this area. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begrudge our northern neighbours for asking, realizing they have the best intentions. But as the old saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Proposed Madawaska Boulevard good for our tax base a progressive nation by building railroads, highways, bridges, buildings, and, yes, housing developments. There was a time when everyone realized with a solid tax base anything was possible. I’m not so sure of that anymore. From the Canadian Tire Centre to the new home of the Redblacks, at every turn so-called progressives have fought progress. Oil pipelines take decades to be built costing taxpayers billions of dollars when eventually they all get built, and, why do they all get built? Because we need the tax base to pay for ‘things’. Canadians to a large degree expect a high standard of living, universal health care, universal education, the CBC, the military, roads, highways, hospitals, rinks, pools, parks, community centre, but when the bill comes in, we complain it’s too high or we fight the developers, who, by employing people or by building mega projects, inject billions

Vast majority oppose Bill C-13 To the Editor: After cutting Parliamentary debate short – its usual tactic when it wishes to ram through a bill the public, including Conservative supporters, does not want – the Conservative government has passed a law, the Online Spying Bill C13, that has already been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and that is opposed by about three-quarters of the people of this country including a majority of Conservative supporters. Those who support it probably don’t realize that this new law will cost millions in court challenges, will enable authorities to monitor private lives of ordinary Canadians without warrant and without any real oversight. It will give telecommunications providers legal immunity for handing over your private information to the government without a warrant, so victims harmed by these activities would have no legal recourse against the telecom providers or against the government, even if they discover that they are being spied upon Indeed, most people will not even know they are being monitored for no

good reason. The government’s excuse that Bill C-13 is meant to prevent cyberbullying is false, given that the bill only includes a couple of pages about cyberbullying while it has no less than 65 pages worth of material from the previous spying bill that was abandoned because of public outcry against it. Privacy is a fundamental right of citizens in any country wishing to call itself civilized, much less democratic. The Conservative government is choosing to violate both such basic human rights and the constitution by spying on us and wrongfully collecting our private information in their databases. Passing this bill is not only irresponsible, it shows clearly the current government’s utter disregard for democracy, for the constitution, for valid law and legal process, and for the people of this country – including its own supporters.

To the Editor: I read with much amusement the ‘concerns’ over the 281 new homes project being proposed next to PJ’s restaurant. Noise, congestion and a future rail line? The 281 new homes in Arnprior would bring over one million dollars a year to a tax base desperately in need of cash influx right now. The 281 new homes would also inject more then two million dollars a year to the local economy, restaurants, retail stores, car dealerships, garages, you name it, and there will be an economic benefit. But, there is an underlying current to this issue along with many ongoing projects in Ontario and in Canada, and it’s the unprogressive attitude of many so called ‘progressives’. Progressives in this country are mainly Liberals and NDP supporters, which is fine, but why on earth do they all seem to forget that we became

In late fall, open water is worth a look

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way creeks in Algonquin Park. All of those otters dove frequently, their serpentine tails rising and vanishing without creating a splash, reappearing to noisily munch on small fish. One lone otter in semifrozen Costello Creek dove when it spotted me and reappeared a minute later, much farther away in the middle of the ice that lined the creek. It pushed through the ice, raising its head just enough to keep an eye on me. When

the ice shelves becomes more solid, otters use them as dining tables for their fish meals captured in the water beneath. Beavers are also rather easy to see right now. Many are active on overcast days, collecting sticks for their winter food piles. Those whose access to land is cut off by ice can be seen late in the afternoon floating alongside their food piles, devouring bark and twigs that will soon be locked in unbreakable ice. In the two days prior to writing this column, I watched eight different beavers doing just that. When one considers that the sticks on the bottom of a food pile are the only ones that remain accessible during the winter, it makes good sense that Beavers at this time of year would devour the sticks on top of it. As ice continues to smother smaller bodies of water, diving ducks become more concentrated on larger lakes. In our region a number of northern ducks including scaup and scoters are still passing

In November Beavers often eat from their food piles in late afternoon. through but one locally nesting species is present in ever increasing numbers. As northern lakes freeze over, Common Mergansers build up in our region in large numbers. In late fall White Lake harbours thousands of these fisheating ducks. A shallow lake

containing plenty of small fish, White Lake is a preferred staging area for mergansers. The concentrations of Common Mergansers eventually catch the eye of Bald Eagles. It is a common sight to see one or more of these majestic birds taking a pass at a large

Michael Runtz

group of mergansers. When an eagle swoops down on them, the mergansers frantically dive to safety. Before diving I wonder if one of them yells out: “Duck!” The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca

Winter’s icy grip is steadily tightening on the land, giving warning that the season of cold and snow will soon be here. Once-vibrant leaves lie withered and brown, some already hidden under a blanket of white. Raindrops fall as frozen crystals, and the smallest ponds sport lids of solid ice. Soon only the largest bodies of water will remain unfrozen, strong current and wind keeping their centres unfettered by ice. Before the larger bodies of water fully succumb to the will of winter, be sure to give them a closer look. In late November, open water provides opportunities for observing animals that can be difficult to see in other seasons. In particular, River Otters become quite visible as the amount of open water shrinks. Recently I came across a number of these “freshwater seals” in the Ottawa River near the mouth of the Madawaska, in the Rideau River near Carleton University, and at several lakes and

KEATON PATROIS/SUBMITTED

Rare deer seen near Burnstown Jane de Snaijer (Flain) submitted this photograph taken last month by Keaton Patrois of a Piebald deer at the end of the McHugh Road in the Burnstown area. She noted she has never seen one before and feels they are quite rare. She search online and found that a genetic variation (defect) produces the piebald condition in white-tailed deer, not parasites or diseases. Piebald deer are colored white and brown similar to a pinto pony. Sometimes they appear almost entirely white. In addition to this coloration, many have bowing of the nose (Roman nose), short legs, arching spine (scoliosis) and short lower jaws. The genetic condition is rare with typically less than one per cent of white-tailed deer being affected.

The onset of cold weather coming right after the deer hunting season has prompted the OPP to remind motorists to be on alert for wildlife on local roadways. The hunt and weather conditions can cause more wildlife movement than normal. The OPP and MNR have arranged to have warning signs erected in several locations in the area, including on Burnstown and Calabogie roads. However, there still have been several vehicle-wildlife collisions in the area this fall, with at least two bear and a dozen deer killed. The collisions are particularly common on Highway 17 and White Lake Road, Calabogie and River roads.

Hens and Chicks unite at Communities in Bloom fundraiser Theme is ‘The night before Christmas’ sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – ‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the hall, there was plenty of stirring, the girls were having a ball. It’s time once again for the Hens and Chicks fundraiser for Arnprior Communities in Bloom and the theme this year for the ladies-only event is ‘The night before Christmas.’ “Come dressed in your PJs or your holiday best – it doesn’t matter as long as you come out and have a good time,” said Monica Lyon, who is helping organize the seventh annual fundraiser. Tickets are already 50 per cent sold and the event always sells out, so get your tickets now, said Lyon. Hens and Chicks night, on Saturday, Nov. 29, will feature live entertainment by Bazooka Joe and free wine. Ladies can get together

and fill a table of eight to 10. “If they want they can decorate their table to be eligible for the cash prize for best decorated table,” said Lyon. “We would like to challenge the offices and banks in town to purchase a table,” she added. Everyone is welcome to attend and space has been set aside for those who not have enough to fill a table but would like to attend. Tickets cost $30 and qualify attendees for a chance at the door prize. A 50/50 draw and raffle table are part of the fun. The event runs 7:30 p.m.1 a.m. at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior. Tickets are available at My Chocolate Factory, 12 Elgin St. W. in Arnprior, or call 613-623-0100. Cash or cheques made payable to Communities in Bloom will be accepted. Ladies are asked to bring donations for the Arnprior and District Food Bank.

Breast cancer survivors from Arnprior compete in Florida Community - Four breast cancer survivors who are members of the Arnprior Dragon Boat Club recently competed in dragon boat races in Florida. Susan Burns-McIntyre (also a Busting Out member), along with Brigitte Davidson, Lorna Watkins and Mary Berndt (all former members of Busting Out invited back to participate in the festival) all paddled with the Ottawa-based team in the fourth International Breast Cancer Paddlers’ Commission (IBCPC) Participatory Dragon Boat Festival in Sarasota. The festival was the fourth of its kind. Previously festivals were held in Vancouver, British Columbia in 2005; Caloundra, Australia in 2007; and Peterborough, Ontario in 2010. Most of this year’s activities were at the Nathan Benderson

Park in Sarasota. Paddlers and supporters came from around the world - Ireland, United Kingdom, Italy, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. Canada had the largest contingent with 46 teams, followed by the United States which had 33 teams. While the focus of the festival was on participation, the Busting Out Spirit Team, nevertheless came away with impressive results, finishing 24th out of 101 teams. Team members were extremely pleased with their performance and the ending of the season on a high note. Knot a Breast from Hamilton, Ontario came first beating out Pink Steel from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by half a second in an exciting A Division final race. Dragon boating has become

an amazing adventure in living. Breast cancer survivors paddle together, supporting and learning from each other, sharing their joys and fears, taking pride in their accomplishments and breaking the silence of cancer. Who would have thought that an ancient Chinese tradition would become an international lifeline not only for breast cancer survivors but for people from all walks of life. Paddling is over for another season. However, these women will continue to train hard throughout the upcoming months in order to prepare for next year, especially since the Arnprior Dragon Boat Club, in partnership with the Town of Arnprior, is hosting its own Dragon Boat FesSUSAN BURNS-McINTYRE/SUBMITTED tival on Saturday, July 25, 2015.

Meet the witches of Brechin Castle at Celtic medieval feast Rose MacLaren

Celtic Heritage Society

Community – “Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble, parties burn and nonsesence bubble,” say the witches as they lean over the boiling cauldron to cast a spell in the Shakespeare’s MacBeth near the castle of Cawdor. Probably the most obvious characteristic of a witch was the ability to cast a spell (spell being the word used to signify the means employed to carry out a magical action). A spell could consist of a set of words, a forrnula or verse, or a ritual action, or any combination of these. Spells traditionally were cast by many methods, such as by the inscription of runes or sigils on an object to give it magical powers, by the immolation or binding of a wax or clay image (poppet) of a person to affect him or her magically; by the recitation of incantations; by the performance of physical rituals; by the employment of magical herbs as amulets or potions; by gazing at mirrors,

swords or other specula (scrying) for purposes of divination; and by many other means. Witches were thought to be in consort with the devil in medieval times. The stereotypical witches are commonly portrayed as wicked old women who have wrinkled skin, pimples, and pointy hats. They wear clothes that are black or purple. They also have warts on their noses and sometimes long claw-like fingernails. Sorcery came to be associated with heresy and apostasy and to be viewed as evil. Among the Catholics, Protestants, and secular leadership of the European Late Medieval/Early Modern period, fears about witchcraft rose to fever pitch, and sometimes led to large scale witch-hunts. In total, tens or hundreds of thousands of people were executed, and others were imprisoned, tortured, banished, and had lands and possessions confiscated. The concept of witchcraft and the belief in it has existed since the dawn of human history.

It has been present or central at various times, and in many diverse forms, among cultures and religions worldwide, including both ‘primitive’ and ‘highly advanced’ cultures, and continues to have an important role in many cultures today. Scientifically, the existence of magical powers and witchcraft are generally believed to lack credence and to be unsupported by high quality experimental testing, although individual witchcraft practices and effects may be open to scientific explanation or explained via mentalism and psychology. The belief in witchcraft is in many cultures worldwide. Witches have often been seen outside accepted cultures and faith. Whatever your thoughts are about witches, the three witches of Brechin Castle (Arnprior Legion) are all good witches and will not cast any spells. Instead they will lead us on Sunday, Nov. 30 into an evening of medieval fun and festivities. We will have a variety of entertainment all

evening with court jester, mummer, piper and bards for your enjoyment. Most castles’ lands housed a witch or two or three. These were usually women who had the gift of prophesy or were able to cure serious problems using plants. You are invited to come out and meet the witches of Brechin castle. Maybe they will predict some good fortune for you or your family. Come out and take part in the fun events that take place on Nov. 30 starting at 3:30 p.m. at our McNab Celtic Heritage Brechin Castle (Arnprior Legion). Tickets to this delightful medieval feast are available at Jim’s Restaurant in Arnprior, at Fraser’s Clothing Store and M&R in Renfrew or by calling 613-623-3614 or 623-432-6271. They cost $30 each or two for $50. Get your tickets early before they run out. Don’t miss out on your chance to enjoy a delightful medieval evening of pomp and pageantry, and most of all fun.

Adoption is an option Community - In recognition of Adoption Awareness Month this November, Family and Children’s Services of Renfrew County (FCSRC) says all children and youth need and deserve a family to love and nurture them always. “We believe that every child and youth in our community needs a forever family that will love and nurture them always,” said FCSRC executive director Arijana Tomicic. When parents or caregivers are unable to provide a safe living environment for their children, FCSRC makes every effort to provide them with support so children may remain safely in their family home. If the safety cannot be ensured and they come into the permanent care of FCSRC, a plan for their extended future is begun immediately. This plan relies on finding a lifelong, permanent connection for the child or youth – a forever family. There are almost 7,000 children and youth in the care of Children’s Aid for whom adoption may be an option. Children need to feel a sense of belonging, with a permanent family that will love and nurture them always. Adoption is an option: Help children and youth create lifelong connections.

The province says that every year Ontario’s flu shot program prevents at least 300 deaths, 1,000 hospitalizations, 30,000 visits to hospital ERs, and 200,000 visits to doctors’ offices. Good hygiene practices such as frequent and thorough hand washing, covering all coughs and sneezes, and staying home when you are sick can also help to prevent infectious diseases such as the flu.

News – The Renfrew County and District Health Unit has issued a public reminder that it’s flu season again. Everyone aged six months or older can benefit from getting the flu shot on an annual basis, as the viruses that cause the flu change frequently, says the health unit. The flu shot can prevent the flu in 60 to 80 per cent of healthy children and adults and about 50 per cent in the elderly, it adds. Influenza affects people of all ages. However, there are groups of people at higher risk of flu related complications. These include: • children 6 months of age to less than 5 years of age; • people 65 years of age and older; • people with chronic medical conditions. It is important if you live with or provide care to someone who is listed in one of the groups above, that you get your flu shot too. The health unit stresses that the flu vaccine is safe, and “it’s the best way to keep you and the people around you healthy during the flu season.” The flu shot cannot give you the flu since the virus is not live, explains the health unit. Influenza vaccine is free for everyone who lives, works and attends school in Ontario. The Renfrew County and District Health Unit is offering 16 flu vaccination clinics across the county, including a second one in Arnprior Thursday, Dec. 4 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Branch 174 Legion. For flu clinic dates and times, call the Health Info Line at 613-735-6666 or 1800-267-1097, ext. 666 or visit the website

Katie’s Bowlathon raises $2,380 for more teddy bears Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Community - It was an outstanding day of bowling and fun at the annual KatieBear Bowl-A-Thon Sunday at the Arnprior Bowling Centre. The day featured a silent auction, candy guess, and costume prizes. This all helped produce a fine total of $2,380 raised, including a stellar effort by Jenn Shepherd, who raised $1,058 herself, organizer Lynda Fraser noted. “That’s a great day,” Fraser added of the amount raised. “That’s a lot of teddy bears.” KatieBears is a not-for-profit community organization that gives stuffed animals to anyone who needs a hug. During the Arnprior Santa Claus Parade in 2008, Katie Fraser decided to give away five teddy bears that were purchased for their float.

Response from kids and their families was awesome and it was decided that this should continue. Katie passed away unexpectedly in August of 2009 at the age of 22, and this journey has continued in her memory ever since. KatieBears has adopted two schools in Jamaica – the Dalmally Basic School, and now the Upper Top Lincoln Early Childhood School. All money raised from the bowlathon in Arnprior will be used to purchase KatieBears for the upcoming holiday season. The KatieBears Foundation gave away over 2,000 teddy bears in 2013 at Christmas parades, and educational visits to schools, as well as to Victims Assistance. KatieBears also worked with local schools to help families in need during last year’s Christmas season. More info on KatieBears is available at www.katiebears.ca.

Packers win two more games

Arnprior Minor Hockey hosts peewees Ed Proulx (15) of the Arnprior Anacondas leads his team’s attack during noon action against the Stittsville Warriors in the Arnprior Peewee House hockey tournament at the Nick Smith Centre Saturday. In background is Arnprior teammate Ted Smith (10). It was a tough start in the tournament for the Anacondas. They trailed Stittsville 2-0 before the game was barely a minute a old, and 4-0 after the first period. Stittsville eventually won the tournament. Peter Clark/Metroland

Sports – The Arnprior Juvenile Packers Packers rolled into Richmond Nov.13 with and won 5-1. The referee called a balanced game, giving seven penalties to each team. Jake Dunn was the leading scorer for Arnprior with a goal and two assists. Arnprior’s other four goals were scored by Laura Graham, Ryan McCormick, Chad Brennan and Allan Gray. Richmond’s lone goal was tallied by Brandon Healy at the 15:51 mark of the second period. Arnprior goalie Mike Cheslock played another solid game, frustrating Richmond with some unbelievable stops. The Juvenile Packers played at home Saturday, Nov 15 to another capacity crowd. Both Arnprior and West Carleton #2 played with a short bench with 9 and 10 skaters respectively. Ryan McCormick began scoring for the Packers at the 6:24 mark of the first period with assists from Allan Gray and John Shean. Not to be outdone by his teammates, Chad Brennan scored at the 9: 42 mark of the first, with assists from ‘Lightning’ Boden Zvonarich and Liam Dey. West Carleton responded with two goals late in the first to tie the game. However, it was all Arnprior in the second period with three goals scored by Jake Dunn, Chad Brennan and Boden Zvonarich. Arnprior was expecting to see the pace of the game slow in the third with the small rosters. Players would normally be getting tired with a short bench and that much end-to-end play earlier, but both teams found the energy to keep up the feverish pace for the whole third period. In fact they went without a whistle for 6 minutes and 38 seconds. West Carleton scored first at the 6:18 mark. Arnprior’s Braden Broome responed with a power play goal at 6:53, assisted by Jake Dunn. Liam Dey scored the last goal for Arnprior making the final score 7-3. Last season the Arnprior Juvenile Packers scored an amazing 7.5 goals per game. This season they are not far behind with 6.2 goals per game. Jake Dunn, Chad Brennan, Ryan McCormick, Boden Zvonarich and Liam Dey are the top five point leaders in the league, working to beat last year’s record.

ADHS-RCI so close in thrilling senior basketball series Sports – The change of the Renfrew County senior girls basketball championship battle from a one game sudden-death contest to a best-ofthree series made for a classic Arnprior District High School-RCI showdown this year. RCI eventually prevailed, winning the third and deciding game 54-48 on their home court. But not before three high-energy, thrilling games between the two long-time foes. The series featured all-out action by both teams and excited crowds for all three games, which were played on consecutive days Nov. 5-7.In game three before a full house of fans for both teams at RCI, ADHS built up a 12-7 lead in the opening quarter before RCI pulled even at 12. As was so often during the series, the two teams were tied for large parts of the game. The score was 14-14 and 16-16 and continued close with RCI ahead 28-27 at the half. Arnprior fell behind early in the second half and couldn’t keep catch up. “I think I lost a few years of my life this week,” a jubilant RCI coach Adam Noack said amidst the post-game celebration. “A best-ofthree series. I don’t know how (pro) coaches do

it.

“Arnprior is such a class act,” he added of the Redmen, who battled the Raiders down to the final second. “This just shows the strength of the Valley Pride program with the nucleus of both teams. “So proud. So proud,” he added of his team. Andrea Martin lead RCI to a freewheeling 59-49 victory with 28 points in the first game in Renfrew. Arnprior pulled even in the series with a thrilling 46-45 overtime win in their home gymnasium Nov. 6. The game went back and forth for the whole second quarter with the teams never more than a couple of points apart. The raucous crowd were in full voice throughout the overtime, which saw Arnprior eke out the victory. The Redmen still qualified for EOSSAA play as ADHS is an AA school while RCI is an A school. Arnprior played in Carleton Place at the Eastern Ontario championships last week, but missed out in placing in the top three. RCI hosted the A championships, won by the La Citadelle Patriotes of Cornwall. -With files from Peter Clark

Sports – The Junior B Arnprior Packers picked up two more impressive victories on the weekend to bring their record to .500. The Packers defeated Almonte 8-1 last Friday and doubled Perth 4-2 Sunday in two home games. The victories extended the Packers’ winning streak to five games, improving their record to 9-9 and pushing them into third place in the Valley Division. Packers coach Bill Griese is pleased his team is finally playing as well as he always felt they could. However, he cautions the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey league’s Valley and Metro divisions are highly competitive this year. While Renfrew and Stittsville are well ahead of the other teams in the early going, there are signs that the other teams are improving. With good goaltending and some breaks, any team can beat any other, noted Griese. As well, the Valley teams are doing much better than they normally do against their Metro division foes, he noted. “It should be a very interesting playoffs this year.” He said when Arnprior has all its players in the line-up, the team is tough to beat. However, with education and job pressures, the Packers have had that full line-up only twice, he noted. Griese praised his 21-year-old goaltender Dominic Plaschy for playing a key role in the team’s resurgence. However, when he couldn’t

play Sunday against Perth, back-up Mateo Scapillati came in and earned the win, he said. Arnprior dominated the game with only the exploits of Blue Wings goalie Dylan BrindAmour keeping it close. Griese said the Packers showed resilience by coming from behind to win. Corey Chaplin unassisted, Casey Doner on the power play and Michael McGrath into the empty net scored in the third period to erase a 2-1 Perth lead. Isaac Perreault scored the other Arnprior goal and Scapillati made 27 saves in the Arnprior net. In Friday’s win over Almonte, Packers built up a 4-0 and 7-0 period leads as they coasted to victory. First star Luc Deschamps scored a hat trick for Arnprior, with Robert Darnowski, Brayden Harvey, Liam Killeen, Chris Deschamps and Chaplin adding singles. Griese said he was proud that his team showed character and sportsmanship by not running up the score on the short-handed Almonte squad. “Games like that tell you a lot about your team,” he said. “They showed a lot of class.” The Packers were scheduled to host Almonte again Wednesday (after press deadline), before heading out on the road for a game in Almonte Saturday, Nov. 22. The Packers’ next home game is Friday, Nov. 28 when Renfrew comes to town for an 8 p.m. tilt. The last game between the two rivals, a 5-4 Arnprior shootout win, was a great game to watch and could have gone either way, Griese noted.

Packers netminder Matteo Scapillati pulls the puck out of a crowd during the first period of Sunday afternoon’s Valley Division encounter. The Arnprior goalkeeper backstopped his team to a 4-2 win over the visiting Perth Blue Wings.

Winter can pose many hazards where trees are concerned

M.J. Enright & Son Tree Services offers exceptional property and yard service all year round. As winter descends, bringing with it heaps of snow, ice and frigid temperatures, many Canadians head inside to hibernate and stay warm. And, during the cold, dark days of winter, many people feel that their yard work is done for the year. They put away the lawn mower and rake, and assume they don’t need to think about their property again until spring arrives. But not so fast. There are many important issues to keep in mind with a property over the course of the winter – especially pertaining to trees and branches. Weighed down with heavy snow and ice, many trees and branches can become a hazard during the winter. Ice covered branches can break off and litter yards and

driveways, or, worse, damage a house. Trees themselves can be pulled down by heavy, wet snow that collects on their branches and end up on the side of a garage or on top of a roof. Extreme cold alone can make tree branches brittle or fragile and susceptible to breaking. Overhead hydro lines should be watched carefully for tree branches that are pulled down by snow and ice. If a branch hits a hydro line it could leave the homeowner without power or heat when they need it the most. These are just a few of the things people should keep in mind over the course of this coming winter. M.J. Enright & Son Tree Services based in Renfrew are certified professional arborists that serve all of Eastern Ontario, including the communities of Ottawa, Kanata,

Stittsville and Almonte. They know trees and the dangers they can pose during the winter. People who encounter problems with trees, brush or branches over the winter months should be sure to contact M.J. Enright. Services the company offers include tree removal, tree dismantling, hazardous tree and branch removal, chipping, hydro line clearing, lot clearing, and emergency 24 hour tree removal. Safety is of paramount importance, and the company ensures that all work is done smoothly and efficiently. People throughout Eastern Ontario who encounter problems with trees on their property this winter should contact M.J. Enright & SonTree Services. There is no better tree company operating in the region. www.insideottawavalley.com

Hand-me-down box contained surprise treasures Lifestyle – The hand-me-down box had arrived from Regina. At least twice a year, Aunt Lizzie sent the big wood crate that at one time held bulk tea. Always boy’s clothes. She had two sons. Never anything in it for my sister Audrey or me. We didn’t expect anything, so we weren’t disappointed. Well, really, there was sometimes something for me, but it wasn’t anything I looked forward to. It was a small cardboard box, with my name written in ink, and inside were hateful brown laced boy’s brogue shoes. I was the only one they would ﬁt, and I hated them with a passion. Sure enough, there was the cardboard box, right on top of the mounds of hand-me-down clothes, that at one time had graced the backs of my very rich cousins out in Regina. Mother had situated herself in front of the box to unpack it one piece at a time. Once, my brothers were allowed this job, but after one

glorious, dragged out, bloody fight over an alpaca sweater, the boys had to sit on the floor while mother took out everything, from Uncle Jack’s well worn suits, felt hats, flatted out from the packing, and men’s shirts of every description. Mother warned my brothers if there was one word of arguing over who got what, the box would have its lid nailed back on and the whole thing dragged out to the summer kitchen! Often Aunt Lizzie would tuck in a piece of new material for Mother, knowing full well it would be put to good use, or there would be one of her purses that looked like it had just come out of the showcase of an elegant store. Audrey and I had settled ourselves at the kitchen table thumbing through Eaton’s catalogue. Father, as usual, not the least bit interested in the box, had moved to the rocking chair by the Findlay Oval with the Family Herald

and Weekly Star. Mother, as organized as ever, placed the clothes in matching piles, so there was a heap of sweaters, shirts, odd pants, and an assortment of odds and ends she would find a use for. Nothing was wasted. Audrey and I paid scant attention to the box or what was being taken out of it. Then Emerson asked, “What is it?” Mother said it was a raincoat. I glanced over to the centre of the kitchen floor where all the action was taking place. None of us owned a raincoat, for heaven’s sake. If we got wet walking to or from school, we got wet, and that was the simple truth. Mother held it up. “It looks like it was made for a midget,” Everett said, obviously very relieved it would never fit him. As one, four pairs of eyes left the box and settled on me at the kitchen table. “Oh no,” I wailed, “I’m not wear-

ing that to the Northcote School.” Bad enough that I had to wear boy’s shoes that came from Regina. Mother told me to go over and try it on. It was as black as a boot, and stiff, boy was it stiff, with big silver clips all down the front of it. “Be great for Halloween … too bad it’s over,” Emerson snorted. I prayed on the way over to the pile of clothes that it wouldn’t ﬁt me. Mother fed my arms into the coat, did up the clips and declared it a perfect ﬁt. The inside was exactly like the underside of our oilcloth on the kitchen table. I told her I was smothering in it. I told her I couldn’t bend my arms. I told her it smelled just like the tires on the Model T. I told her I would rather be caught dead than be seen in something called a raincoat that I’d never even heard of before! As happened so often in my young life, my sister Audrey saved the day by saying I wouldn’t have to worry about it anyway, because winter was

just around the corner, and I would soon be in my melton cloth pants and jacket. “Nobody wears a raincoat in the wintertime,” she said. “And by next Spring you will have grown at least a foot, I’d say, and it won’t fit you anyway.” Well, Mother wasn’t about to waste a perfectly good piece of clothing that came in the hand-me-down box. She hated mice with a passion, and even though everything was battened down in the summer kitchen, like the wood lid on the sauerkraut barrel, and the tin boxes that held frozen pies and cookies, she was never sure the mice couldn’t find a way to invade what would be going into our mouths. The next morning when I went to the summer kitchen to bring in wood for the wood box, as I did every morning, there was the raincoat draped over the sauerkraut barrel, with the round wood lid squeezed tight on top of it, offering further protection from the field mice which came into the summer kitchen to avoid the outside elements. I would never know if Mother used the raincoat on the barrel because she actually feared a mouse would get into the barrel. Just maybe she figured having to wear boys brown brogues to the Northcote School was punishment enough.

Young Burnstown author publishes children’s book Lifestyle – Two detectives and a dog set out to save the planet and their town’s superhero in ‘It’s Nice to See a Light and the Shoes’ by young Burnstown author Noah Cunningham. With often quirky, off-thewall humour, Cunningham, who also illustrates his book, has his heroes take on corporate villains, who if allowed to do their dastardly deeds, will not only own hydro power but the water, too, taking it for their own profit. The fictional 50-page story, for children between the ages

of 9 and 13, is a serious reflection on today’s ever increasing resource extraction in this book published by the Upper Ottawa Valley’s General Store Publishing House. Noah was born in Pembroke and now lives in Burnstown. This story was written when he was 12 and it is based on an album and song title by one of his favourite artists. “When I was in Grade two or three, I’d write stories, and I’d always be asking my grandparents what to write about. My Grandpa joked about a character named On-

ion Man,” explained Noah. “One day I thought about it and wrote about it. My book has adventurous and interesting characters and a plot on making a community better.” Noah’s dog, Mick, was used for the beloved character, Micman. Noah interests include animals, music, writing and illustrating. The public is invited to join Noah at his book launch and signing Saturday, Nov. 22 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Rocky Mountain House in Renfrew.

While this is just a fictional tale, there are many parallels to some of the challenges communities face when a hydroelectric dam takes control of a river they depend on, and where a very few benefit at the expense of many. The Ontario Rivers Alliance highly recommends this creative and humorous tale of a community showing up to shine a light on an injustice, and in the process find an unlikely hero in their midst. “Great job Noah,” said Ontario Rivers Alliance chair Linda Heron.

Pop quiz question: How does Onion Man’s cape become powerful? The answer is provided on Noah’s website at: www.noahcunningham.ca. Visit Noah’s site to discuss his book and to find out what other projects he has on the go. Copies of It’s Nice to See a Light and the Shoes can be ordered through www.gsph. com.

Mississippi Mills libraries to hold welcome back week Community – Time to check the closets, your car trunk and under the bed. Welcome back to the Mississippi Mills Public Library – and don’t worry about those long overdue library items, the ones you should have returned years ago. During the week of Nov. 24-29, the library will waive the associated fines with a donation of food items for the Lanark County Food Bank. The library will also be replacing

cards to those members who have lost or damaged cards, waiving the usual replacement cost. Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “We know people stay away from the library because they have extremely overdue books or large fines, or have lost their library card,” says chief librarian Pam Harris. “We miss them, and want them to come back!” From Nov. 24 to 29, bring your overdue items, in person, to either branch. A donation of non-perishable

food items will be accepted in lieu of the fines these items will incur. Do you have a fine on your card already? Bring food items and the library will wipe your slate clean. One item of food will erase $2 worth of fines, or pay half the fine and the rest will be forgiven. It is important to connect with library staff when you return your overdue items to ensure your library card is properly cleared. If the items are returned through the book drops,

You compared numerous listings online for a ‘ﬁxer upper’. And managed NOT to be outbid on a great home. Why not compare home insurance rates online, too? At ComparaSave.com you can compare and save on rates for car, home and travel insurance, plus mortgages and credit cards. From Canada’s top ﬁnancial institutions. All in one place. It’s easy and it’s free. 36 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, November 20, 2014

staff will not be able to clear your fine. If the overdue item is lost, don’t panic. Speak to one of our librarians and explain what happened. We really want to find a way to allow you to use your library card again. As a fun aside, library staff will be keeping track of the most overdue items. Looking for the one item that has been out the longest … will it be yours? A prize will be given to the person who brings the item back.

If anyone The British Explosives munitions factory in Renfrew where George Corbett worked and knows the name of the aide, please let the newspaper know. lived. It was located near where the Archives building now stands.

Corbetts donate books to RCI to mark soldiers’ sacrifice News - For many years Russell and Abigail Corbett of Arnprior have wanted to recognize the sacrifice many Canadians have made to protect this country’s freedom and quality of life. Recent tragedies prompted them to put their thoughts into action by offering to donate four books au-

thored by Mark Zuehlke – Juno Beach, Holding Juno, Breakout from Juno, and On to Victory – to Arnprior District High School. However, when the school didn’t accept the offer, the Corbetts contacted Renfrew Collegiate Institute about the books. “We are very pleased RCI has accepted our contribution for the

school’s library,” say the Corbetts. They note that Russell’s grandfather, George H. Corbett, was plant manager at Renfrew’s British Explosives Ltd. munitions factory during the First World War. “There is no better read than Mark Zuehlke’s account of D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944 to victory on

May 25, 1945 with the liberation of the Netherlands,” says Russell. presentation

The books were presented to RCI on Nov. 10 “in loving memory of all those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom, including George H.

Corbett, general manager British Explosives Ltd. munitions factory, Renfrew, WWI; Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, Oct. 20, 2014 proudly wearing his uniform when violently run down; and Corporal Nathan Cirillo, shot while standing guard at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, National War Memorial, Oct. 22, 2014.”

Artist Raven Boulanger, right, created four posters, one of which is pictured above, to honour the achievements of Aboriginal people in the district.

Poster series celebrates Aboriginals as role models News – The celebration of National Aboriginal History Month last June has led to the launch of a year-long communication campaign hoping to raise the profile of Aboriginal people in Renfrew County public school board schools. The four-poster series was designed to honour the achievements and self-determination of Aboriginal people with each poster featuring three role models. Each poster focuses on a particular field that include university graduates, sports people, health professionals and visual artists. The poster series was created by the Centre for Social and Racial Justice with funding and support provided by both the Killaloe Resource Centre and the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) and superintendent of education Gayle Bishop. All four posters were designed by recent RCDSB Barry’s Bay Satellite School (PAL, Program for Alternative Learners) graduate Raven Boulanger, who attended the school for two years in order to receive his Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Following his graduation in 2013, Boulanger, who identifies himself as mixed heritage

from several First Nations, secured a paid placement with the Centre for Social and Racial Justice through the Killaloe Community Resource Centre SkillsLink. He spoke about the goal of the posters. “We wanted to show local First Nations people as role models in a way that would reach beyond a First Nations audience,” said the 21-year-old self-taught graphic designer. “We started with a prototype poster that featured one Algonquin individual per poster. After we consulted with the Omàmiwininì Pimàdjwowin Cultural Centre, I designed an expanded poster that showcased the achievements of three people per poster and was aimed at a wider public. We showed this version to other people we thought could be interested in being featured on the poster.” In total, there were 12 volunteers, including nurse Tracy McMullin, radiation tech student Amber Hein, dental hygienist Peggy Kuehl, coach and trainer Gerry Benoit, athlete Erinn Baptiste, Aboriginal education liaison officer Adam Bernard, RCDSB teacher Jody Alexander, social worker Robert Whiteduck, engineering intern Alyssa Whiteduck, fashion designer Stephanie

Sarazin, painter and sculptor Bradly Dreamwalker MacDonald, and artist and painter Sylvia Tennisco. The posters profile all of these role models explaining their journey and their goals. “It is our intention to have our students see themselves represented in many career pathways,” Bishop said. “The posters are a wonderful way to highlight the success of our local First Nations community members.” National Aboriginal History Month provides an opportunity to recognize not only the historic contributions of Aboriginal peoples to the development of Canada but also the strength of present-day Aboriginal communities and their promise for the future. The posters were distributed primarily to the RCDSB high schools as well as the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation. During his placement, Boulanger also co-authored the booklet What Should I Say? Talking About Race for White People and the Inclusion Calendar for Schools – a ready to use, date-specific, inclusive announcements in less than one minute per day. All of the resources are available free from socialracialjustice.com.

Many homeowners wasting energy, money: study United Way Homeowners are not making the grade when it comes to knowing the most efficient energy practices seeks proposals News - With cold weather arriving and recent increases in natural gas prices, a report card released last week by Direct Energy shows many Ontario homeowners aren’t heating their homes properly and efficiently. While homeowners score well in a couple areas, including having at least one carbon monoxide detector (90 per cent) and a programmable thermostat (84 per cent), they’re not making the grade when it comes to knowing the most efficient indoor temperature (51 per cent), changing furnace filters (58 per cent) and conducting fall furnace maintenance (38 per cent). “It’s not surprising to see most Ontario homeowners have installed programmable thermostats and carbon monoxide detectors, because there’s been a lot of awareness generated about the benefits of both in the past few years,” said Direct Energy’s director of home ideas Dave Walton. “However, there’s much more to know when it comes to heating your home efficiently. Improving knowledge, making some simple changes and adopting energy efficient practices at home can help homeowners save money in the long run.” Direct Energy commissioned a survey of Ontario homeowners who have a forced air heating system to determine their energy efficiency knowledge and behaviours. Grades are based on the proportion of respondents who indicated agree or disagree, yes or no and/or replied correctly to a specific question. A higher frequency of respondents who understood or agreed with an energy efficient activity

lead to a better grade. One of the worst grades Ontario homeowners received was on their intention to have their furnace maintained and inspected this fall. Direct Energy advises homeowners to have their furnace professionally inspected by a licensed technician every year before the winter to ensure it’s in proper working order to avoid costly repairs. Last winter, Direct Energy fielded on average 1,580 service calls per day when the temperature dropped to -15°C, 24 per cent higher than days when the temperature was -14°C or warmer. CARBON MONOXIDE DANGER

Proper furnace maintenance can also reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Homeowners scored a bit better when it comes to changing furnace filters, with 58 per cent changing them at least every three months. However, Walton notes that changing filters is a simple step that can cut energy costs. “Filters play a big role in how efficiently your furnace runs. By making sure you regularly change or clean them, you can save approximately $50 each year on your energy bill,” he advised. Be sure to check the type of filters you have as some require more or less frequent replacement. Another area where Ontario homeowners need improvement is in sealing leaks around their home’s windows. An easy clue when checking for air leaks is to

BE INTERACTIVE WITH YOUR COMMUNITY SITE Submit an event, Comment on a story, Submit a photo, video or article for consideration

look for spider webs around the window. “Up to 30 per cent of the heating and cooling costs in a home can be lost through poorly fitted windows and doors,” said Walton. “The cost of materials to seal these leaks is under $2, so it’s really a no-brainer for homeowners to do a bit of work and cut down on drafts. For greater savings, they can also add clear plastic sheeting to older windows to keep out the cool.” Direct Energy offers the following tips to improve energy efficiency this fall and winter: • Replace or clean furnace filters every three months to ensure your furnace works properly and to improve your home’s air quality. • Have the furnace inspected and maintained in the fall to ensure it works safely and efficiently for the winter. • Program your thermostat to raise and lower the temperature in your home automatically so you’re not heating the home when you don’t need to. You can save up to four per cent on your heating bill by programming your thermostat to a lower temperature at night and after you leave for work. • Check attic insulation and ensure there’s a minimum of at least 12 inches. Anything less, you should consider topping up to an R50 insulation value. • Set ceiling fans to turn in a clockwise direction to push the warm air down in to the room. • Using a humidifier will make the air feel warmer, allowing you to turn down the thermostat.

Community - The United Way is inviting interested and qualified charities in Renfrew County to submit proposals for project funding support in 2015. During 2014, the United Way also established a new Community Investment Fund that provides one-time funding for up to $1,000 per project. Proposals must address health and social issues within one or more of six strategic priority areas: youth, child poverty, seniors, safe and affordable housing, transportation, and health services. Regular funding support proposals must be completed on the approved form and submitted with a covering letter to Renfrew County United Way not later than Thursday, Jan. 29 at 4 p.m. Qualified charities may submit a maximum of two proposals. For the new Community Investment Fund, proposals can be submitted anytime throughout 2014. Submit the application package by registered mail or email a pdf file with a Read Receipt to the Renfrew County United Way. The new address as of Jan. 1 will be 225 Pembroke St. W., Pembroke, Ont., K8A 5N2. Qualified charities are defined as those having Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) approved registration. Proposal forms and accompanying documents can be obtained from the Renfrew County United Way Website at: www.renfrewcountyunitedway. ca. If you have any questions or require additional details, call toll-free 888-592-2213.

‘Twas the month before Christmas Ian Stupp Pet Talk

Lifestyle – ‘Twas the month before Christmas and all through the place, Mommy and Daddy had egg on their face While all of there neighbours shopped back in September, Mommy and Daddy just now remembered So got off your butts and head to the shops, To buy gifts for all of your dogs, cats, kittens and pups! We all wait until the last minute and then run out and try and buy that perfect gift for that special someone. There are some great pet gifts out there and some come with price tags to rival the electronic gifts your kids will want for the holidays. Let me help you with a few suggestions. Buy a toy that will not only last but also stimulate. There are balls and other contraptions that you

can stuff with treats such as cookies, peanut butter or cheese. Watch your dog go crazy trying to get those luscious treats out from within those toys. Rawhide, Pigs Ears and Hooves are fun. However, they smell when they get moist from chewing and too many can give your pet an upset stomach. Use caution

Be careful not to give them a toy that has a bell that can break off and be swallowed. Toys that are stuffed with a squeaker in them are o.k., just make sure they don’t remove the squeaker and swallow it. Always inspect the toy and make sure that the squeaker is intact. There are a host of simulated bones made from nylon called Nylabones that are flavoured in beef or chicken and come in all shapes and sizes. They even sell bones that act like dental floss. These bones clean the

teeth and stimulate the gums as they chew. Maybe they should make a product like that for us. There are beds, blankets and pillows made of faux fur in all shapes and sizes to keep your pet comfy on those long cold winter nights as well as boots, coats and sweaters. There are feeders, bowls, cages, crates, dog houses and kennels. You can also give them the gift of jewelry with bling collars and leashes. Cats will love toys that are stuffed with cat nip. There are all kinds of scratching posts and cat furniture for them to climb on, sleep on, scratch and enjoy. Battery powered mice to drive them crazy and feather teasers to keep them busy. bird gifts

Small birds to large parrots would enjoy cage accessories like food and water dishes, perches, ladders and toys that come in all

shapes and sizes and in a variety of materials such as wood, plastic, metal, cord, denim and leather. If you’re not sure what to get your pet or a pet lover on your gift list, then try a gift certificate for a day at the spa (for the pet not the owner) or a gift certificate from a local pet store. Just remember to have fun! Shopping for a pet or pet lover should be just as much fun as for the human gifts you’ll be buying. I bet you never got a wet kiss from a human as thanks for purchasing that special gift and, best of all, I have never seen a pet in the return line at the local pet store after the holidays. Merry Month before Christmas and a Happy Gift Shopping To All! Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North, Arnprior.

Online Art Auction November 14-22

http://www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca /event/online-art-auction/

Lifestyle - Shilo, a three-yearold Chocolate Lab mix (mutt) from Braeside, won his second Iron Dog title on the Nov. 8-9 weekend at Pet Expo at the Ernst & Young Centre in Ottawa. Shilo and his handler Melanie Wilson now have two Iron Dog titles under their belts, which is amazing since he has only entered two Iron Dog events. In September, he won the title of Titian Iron Dog in Bowmanville. Iron Dogs have to compete in three different events to qualify. Big Air is judged by how far a dog jumps off the dock into the 35-foot pool. Shilo won three first-place medals on the Saturday and qualified for finals on Sunday where he jumped 20’1” and won first place again. In the second event, called Speed Retrieve, dogs are timed as they run 20 feet down the dock, jump and power swim to the end of the 35foot pool and retrieve a bumper toy. Shilo’s time was 7.7 seconds, which won him a second-place medal. The third event called E.V (Extreme Vertical) is one the most exciting of all events. Dogs are required to run down the dock, jump eight feet out and as high as they can vertically. Shilo jumped 5’4”, which won

CARD OF THANKS

Thank You to My Friends When life throws you a major challenge, it is wonderful to have such a caring community and dear friends I can lean on for help. On Saturday, Nov. 15, my friends held a fundraising benefit for me. To all those that donated money, food and the wonderful auction items, and to those that attended and those that could not attend, to the Arnprior Curling Club and staff, thank you from the bottom of my heart. A special thanks goes out to the very creative and amazing organizers. I can only imagine how many hours of your time ( and wine perhaps? ) that went into creating that wonderful event. I am sincerely humbled and grateful to have you in my life. When I am feeling low, I only have to recall the powerful and moving circle of friends singing as one, “Lean On Me”, and my spirits are lifted and my determination to beat this made all the stronger. My friends, I love you. Barbara McNeill

Garnie WOW!!! today you would be 73....but you have been gone for 30...wonder what you would be like...still the ladies man..lovin’ the dance... enjoying those stogies...which reminds me, that is what they used to call you--was Stogie. I awoke this morning, the light was dim, And in my heart I felt for him. In these past few days I’ve searched my soul For death had come to take it’s toll. My memories are all good of this Friend of mine. I’ll never forget him and will toast him with wine. His smiling face as he arrived each day Driving the green machine. What can I say? His blue jeans and boots won`t walk these halls, But his memory will stay for one, for all. A ﬁsherman he wasn’t a sportsman at all, Just a man for the ladies summer and fall. One hear ﬁnally drew him and tamed this wild man This was the one as he walked holding her hand. I’ve known this man for many a year, and even tossed back one or two beer. Whether working or playing, he seemed so alive. Garnie knew how to live but ran out of time. So ‘til the day comes when we meet again, All I can say is ‘Goodbye My Friend’ Sure do miss you Dad...... Love Debbie & Dale xo

They say time heals a broken heart, But this we say is true, There’s not a day goes by, That we don’t think of you. We cannot have the old days back, When we were all together, But wonderful memories and loving thoughts, Will be with us forever, But comfort nears as we grow old, We too will pass and then, We’ll see your smile and hear your voice, And hug you once again. Love Always, Wife and your family xxxxxooooo

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!
