News – First, the good news: Arnprior has about $20 million more in property tax revenue to play with than it did just four years ago. The bad news? Three prominent businesses that make significant contributions to the tax base could win hefty reductions. Municipal Property Assessment Corporation’s (MPAC) Marcel Clement spoke to Arnprior council at its Nov. 12 meeting. He said assessment growth last year has jumped 4.32 per cent jump from 2008, meaning a little over $36 million. Of that revenue, education will get 16, the county 26 and the town 58 per cent.

News – Arnprior Mayor David Reid has urged council to pick the best from a series of bad options left to them after McNab-Braeside’s decision to pull out of service agreements. “There are no really good options,” he said. At best, Arnprior recreation users will likely be forced to wait several weeks on a rebate of some

Speaking at the Nov. 12 town council meeting, Reid carefully walked council through more than a half dozen pages chock full of dollar amounts related to ice rental times, swimming and hall use, along with Nick Smith Centre and library infrastructure costs.

News – A litter of kittens was left to die in a box dumped on Madawaska Street in downtown Arnprior last Friday, Nov. 15. Fortunately, the kittens, about 10 weeks old, managed to fight their way out of the box where a customer of Moe’s Pizza saw three of them huddled together and another staggering around the sidewalk. She took the kittens to the Arnprior and District Humane Society shelter, which found them to have upper respiratory infections.

Township considers library rebate News – McNab-Braeside council will look into reimbursing ratepayers who use the Arnprior and Renfrew libraries. Councillors will consider repaying at least a portion of the $65/family that McNabBraeside residents will be required to pay to join the Arnprior library come Jan. 1, 2014 when shared agreements with the towns for recreation and library services end. Coun. Brad McIlquham’s Nov. 5 motion to reimburse $45/family for library cards when residents bring receipts to the township office was scheduled to return to coun-

cil at the next meeting Nov. 19. McIlquham questioned whether the provincial grant that paid for much of the township’s fees for Renfrew library use could still be given but he was told with no agreement the grant will not continue. His motion gained support with Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie seconding it and Coun. Aldene Styles indicating she’d be willing to discuss it. Styles alluded to a petition being circulated to protest council’s recent decision to end the agreements. McNab-Braeside Residents for Reading and Recreation is leading the charge and say response has been good to the petition that

asks council to reverse their decision from earlier this year to remove funding for the services from the township tax base. “From what I’m hearing, not first-hand but rumour, there are a lot of names being accumulated,� said Styles, who added she’d also had some calls on the issue. “I’m in agreement. I believe we should have services provided,� she said. “I voted on basis of what we had sent out, but if there’s new information, I would be agreeable to bring it back to the table again.� Deputy Clerk Stacey Blair said staff was to prepare a report that includes the motion with Renfrew worked into the recommendation.

Mayor outlines four recreation options Continued from front

After calculating capital, administration, operating, and personnel costs for the two facilities, an hourly cost was arrived at. Then came the four options for council’s consideration. Option one is to do nothing and keep the same ice rental rates with no additional charge to non-residents. The upshot is $160,000 in lost revenue and town users would be subsiding and paying more than McNab-Braeside users. “This is clearly not fair to Arnprior ratepayers; therefore, Arnprior council is considering various options to revisions of the recreation fees bylaw to make up for the loss of contributions from McNab-Braeside municipal taxes,� reads a statement on the town’s website. Option two is to create a fixed nonresident fee. It would see an in-town rate charge on rental contracts, and a fixed non-resident fee (possibly $125) for all non-resident users. The upshot there is that it won’t be proportionate to individual use and result in more red tape in sorting out administration and compliance. Option three is to set up a pro-rated non-resident fee. That involves charging an in-town rate on rental contracts and a proportionate surcharge to nonresident users based on user numbers and rental contracts. The upshot is the town gets timely and accurate user in-

Kittens thrown out of car Continued from front

The kitten that was staggering about was too sick to save and was euthanized. A fifth kitten was found later by the Arnprior bylaw officer, but the mother cat was nowhere to be found. “Horrified� witness Wendy Grose said the box of cats was thrown out of the window of a moving car. Shelter manager Stephanie Cantrell said the person bringing in the kittens at first thought they were a hat on the sidewalk, but then saw them move. “They were really in bad shape,� she said. The shelter is already overloaded with about 180 cats and is only accepting more pets in emergency situations. Cantrell said charges could be laid if the person dumping off the kittens is identified. It would have been better if they had dropped them off at the shelter, she said, adding, “at least we would have known their history.�

formation. But the administration and compliance issues remain and nonresidents pay 50 per cent more. Reid backs option four: a pro-rated resident rebate. It would charge an out-of-town rate on rental contracts, and give a proportionate credit to in-town resident users based on user numbers and rental contracts. The upshot is town residents have to wait until all addresses are sorted out before getting a rebate. There is still some red tape involved, and non-residents pay a surcharge of 50 per cent. Unless the township reverses its position and decides to pay for recreation and library payments from the tax base, one of the above options will be in place by Jan. 1. McNab-Braeside minor users can expect their fees go from the current $119 to $244. To view more hourly dollar figures, see the charts at the town website Arnprior.ca. PARTICIPATION TO DROP?

Coun. Dan Lynch raised the fear

that many share: if a child in minor hockey or ringette or other sport offered at the Nick Smith Centre is charged another 50 per cent on top of already high fees, chances are more than a few will no longer participate. Without them, that drives up the price for the remaining participants, then they may drop out too. Some at the town council meeting said ice sports will continue whether local kids are involved or not. Many higher level teams and teams from the city still consider Arnprior’s rates cheaper and worth the drive. Reid reminded them that, while it is true the town could make more money from city users than town and township users, it is the latter council has a mandate to serve. Reeve Walter Stack agreed, and made a pledge. “Yes, we’re supposed to provide those services. And there might be a shortfall for us in the short term,� he said. “But we are not going to start not having minor hockey in Arnprior.� Council will vote on the options at a future council meeting.

News – A volunteer group suggested Arnprior council give itself an extra $1,050 a month in allowances. The ad hoc committee of residents said there should be no change in basic pay to the seven-member local council. But “incidental expenses” should be set at fixed $150 per month, per member. Reeve Walter Stack has long complained that salary ought to be discussed. He concedes, however, that politicians taking more money from taxpayers they count on for votes is fraught with danger. The arguments for a boost to remuneration (pay, benefits, expenses) include: • no representation from younger people in most councils; • remuneration not reviewed since 1997; • many councillors spend own money for

costs (phone, Internet, etc.); • remuneration currently based on cost of living increase; • no process for regular reviews. In 2012 Mayor David Reid was paid $25,874, plus $4,963 in benefits, and $3,372 for conferences and seminars; Stack received $12,937, plus $705, and $1,450; councillors were paid $12,937, with various amounts in benefits and incidentals. The jobs are considered part-time, though the mayor and others put in more hours than that. The independent committee – made up of Peter Anas, Frank Dugal, chairman Rick Farrell, David Mitchell and David Pajot – said Arnprior ranks fourth in terms of population throughout Renfrew County municipalities and it ranks fourth or fifth in terms of council remuneration. They are comfortable with this status quo.

In his presentation to council at the Nov. 12 meeting, Farrell said the committee believes most people run for council to “make a difference” in the town, not for the money. To attract more candidates by paying more would require a “much higher” dollar amount, he suggested. Along with the added $1,800 a year in fixed allowance, council should not be expected to pay any costs related to conferences or training, or incidentals like phones, Internet, computers, and in-town mileage, the committee agreed. The latter should be reviewed yearly and tied to Canadian Revenue Agency levels. Meals allowances while on town business should total $50 a day while in county; $75 a day while outside the county. The committee had no definition of what a councillor does, but recommends the number of councillors should be reviewed.

Major businesses apply for assessment reductions Continued from front

That brings the town’s total assessment to just under $873 million. Clement brought more good news, saying there were “very few” property owner requests for assessment reconsideration: only

58 (resulting in 20 adjustments) for a town of 3,378 properties. And that MPAC is dealing with a backlog of 167 requests on 60 properties that should be wiped out by 2016. However, before Clement could share the positive numbers

he was peppered with questions about No Frills, Tim Hortons and the Arnprior Shopping Centre on Daniel Street. The Madawaska Boulevard Tim’s has an appeal in for 2009 to 2012. It has to do with timing renovations with

Governments, banks, LCBO accept typhoon relief donations News – Several organizations are collecting relief to help people whose lives have been devastated by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. People can make donations through their churches, banks, the Canadian Red Cross and even at the liquor store. Donations pack a double punch as all contributions made by Dec. 8 are being matched by the federal government to provide help through international and Canadian humanitarian organizations. The Canadian government is also contributing $5 million and the Ontario government $1 million. Ontario’s 638 LCBO stores, includ-

ing Arnprior’s, are accepting donations at checkout counters until Dec. 9 to help with the relief effort in the aftermath of the calamity in the Philippines. “Red Cross volunteers and staff are working around the clock to help families who have been affected by Typhoon Haiyan,” said Conrad Sauvé, CEO of the Canadian Red Cross. “We are thankful to the LCBO and their customers for supporting our humanitarian mission.” As well as making a $100,000 donation to the Red Cross, the TD bank is accepting donations at branches across the country until Dec. 13.

its rebranding. A final hearing was set for Nov. 18. Loblaw’s, on behalf of No Frills, appealed under the same years for a 7 per cent reduction. But the whopper is at the mall where a 17.2 per cent reduction was requested. No one at the meeting offered a dollar amount the town could lose if the businesses are granted the reductions. The lack of explanation for why MPAC will likely accept the reductions was a source of vexation for CAO Michael Wildman. He said MPAC was invited last August to speak to council about the Nov. 18 hearing. Mayor David Reid is usually even tempered, but on this issue frustration surfaced on more than a few occasions. He asked if MPAC is supposed to represent the town’s side during appeal hearings. Clement said MPAC doesn’t represent any side. Its decisions are based on market values. Reid asked about chron-

ic vacancy rates and the responsibility of commercial landlords to rent their space. “What onus is there on property owners to invest – to be proactive – in filling space,” Reid said. “If you as a homeowner aren’t in your house, you still pay the same taxes. You don’t get a reduction.” Clement, in a later interview, said commercial properties are taxed higher than residential, and that it is provision in the Municipal Act that allows businesses to apply for a reduction vacant properties. Reid asked about parent companies setting rent for tenants it indirectly owns. Might they get a lower rental bill? Clement said MPAC ensures rents reflect the area’s market trends. MPAC needs the town to sign an agreement to allow for the requested reductions. If not, town representatives must appear at the hearing armed with counter arguments.

Charges dropped News - The sexual assault charges against a former Valley priest have been dropped. The Crown withdrew two charges against Father Howard Chabot Nov. 12, saying there was no reasonable chance for conviction. The 73-year-old priest who grew up in Arnprior, unlike other area priests charged with sex offences, had only one accuser. Chabot served as a priest from 1968 to 2005. The charges stemmed from an alleged incident in the 1980s.

News – An online campaign to save the Neat Coffee Shop in Burnstown has helped lead to tentative solutions to barriers the owners were facing in increasing liquor license capacity. “We would like to thank you everyone who wrote, phoned or visited the township office for the fast and furious response to our call for help. We were in a dire situation. Our way forward was blocked. Your actions cleared a path that we are now on,� said Adam and Kim McKinty in a press release. “Things are far from resolved and the path is still complicated. There’s nothing easy about what’s left to do. However, we feel we are now in a more collaborative situation with our township.� Following a meeting Nov. 5 at the coffee shop, McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell said the group of stakeholders had arrived at possible short and long-term solutions to keep the business open in its current location. The campaign to save the Burnstown coffee shop and music room quickly gathered

Lifestyle – Health and social service charities in Renfrew County are being asked to submit ideas on how the United Way can spend money being raised in the fall campaign. As of last week, the Renfrew County United Way had received about $300,000 in pledges and donations. Executive director Gail Logan said she hoped to announce on Dec. 12 that the campaign had achieved its target of $500,000. The United Way is inviting interested and qualified charities in Renfrew County to submit proposals for funding support next year. New for 2014, the United Way has established a ‘Community Investment Fund’ that provides one-time allotments of up to $1,000 per project. Proposals must address health and social issues within one or more of the United Way’s six broad, strategic priority areas: youth, child poverty, seniors, safe and affordable housing, transportation, and health services.

are some legal procedures taking place and I don’t feel comfortable myself discussing it,â€? she said. “It’s a wonderful business that’s fully embraced by the community and fully supported by the township, but we have to comply with provincial legislation,â€? said Campbell in an earlier interview. Appointed officials, including fire inspector Dave Hartwick, building inspector Murray Gahan and the Fire Marshal’s office, are obliged to comply with legislation, councillors noted. Short term, township officials will work with Neat CafĂŠ owners, the McKintys, and their architect Richard White to increase cafĂŠ liquor licensing to 50-occupancy from the existing 18, said the mayor. A difference in the interpretation in fire code legislation between the architect and fire officials will need to be addressed to help Neat reach the eventual goal of 148person occupancy. Neat Coffee Shop considers the space above the cafĂŠ portion of the building to be a mezzanine, while the Fire Marshal’s office says it’s a second storey requiring another exit.

Thieves target parked cars in Arnprior News – OPP are investigating two thefts from parked vehicles in Arnprior and vandalism to a fence. Renfrew OPP report that sometime in the early evening hours of Friday, Nov. 8, several items were stolen from a vehicle parked on Claude Street. Clothing, change and a backpack were taken. Some of the clothing was later recovered. There are no suspects. A wallet was stolen from an unlocked vehicle on Edward Street South on Tuesday, Nov. 12 between 5 and 6 p.m. OPP Con-

stable Jason Cholette is investigating. The fence was vandalized overnight Nov. 9. The homeowner from Melville Road discovered the damage the next morning when seeing footprints in the fresh snow in the backyard went to investigate. Const. Raul Pasta Junior is investigating Police are investigating after a large quantity of fuel was siphoned out of a storage tank at the Greater Madawaska public works yard on Lanark Road. The theft was reported on Nov. 12. Const. Mark Yarmel is

investigating. An ATV was stolen from a hunt camp on Stones Lake Road in Greater Madawaska on Nov. 9. There was a Stihl chainsaw on the ATV. The ATV was recovered the next day, but the chainsaw is still missing. Const. Denys Baranovskiy is investigating. In all last week, Renfrew OPP responded to 184 calls for service, including seven domestic disputes. One man was charged with assault with a weapon, assault and mischief.

Festive R.I.D.E begin Saturday News – The OPP is taking the rare step of thanking Ontario drivers ahead of their Festive R.I.D.E. (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign for not driving impaired over the holidays and for helping them get impaired drivers off roadways. The reason for the early thank you is because the OPP knows the vast majority of drivers understand enforcement is only part of the solution and driving sober is the single most important factor in ending the numerous impaired driving related deaths that occur on Ontario roads every year. The campaign runs Nov. 23 to Jan. 2. According to the OPP, the public can expect to see as many OPP Festive R.I.D.E. stops as ever during this year’s campaign.

Police investigate real estate scams in classified sites News – Area police are investigating complaints of real estate fraud using online classified sites. Someone is duplicating genuine online postings of area properties at a drastically reduced asking price, reports the Ottawa Police Service Organized Fraud Unit. Phony ads have been posted on Kijiji and For Sale By Owner.ca. The suspect(s) represent themselves as agents for the property and provide a contact telephone number or e-mail to the public, say police. “It appears the suspect(s) are attempting to convince interested buyers to provide a ‘deposit’. In some cases the suspect has actually contacted the genuine sellers indicating

they have clients interested in the property.” The fraud unit continues to investigate complaints and warns that “such good deals are sometimes too good to be true.” Anyone with information regarding this activity or have been victimized by the ads is urged to call the Ottawa Police Fraud Section’s Sgt.

Get out and shop locally Christmas is still more than a month away, but for some the bragging has already begun. “I’ve finished all my Christmas shopping already and it was done online ... no crowds, no fuss, no muss.� You hear it in the coffee shops, you read it on Facebook. Kudos to you early shoppers. Now you can sit back, relax and enjoy the real reason for the season. But really, should you be doing all your shopping online? Okay, in these modern times, shopping without leaving home is a reality. And you can find some decent buys online. But be smart about it and don’t get involved with scam artists or substandard items. Certainly if you’re in the big city, avoiding the festive crowds at the malls can be a major motivation to quietly shop from the solitude of home. However, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Some people love the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season and the search for the perfect gift. There is a great deal to enjoy by going out: the lights, decorations and the creatively crafted store windows and storefronts.

For Christmas shoppers, particularly those living in smaller communities, there is another major reason for not doing all your Christmas shopping online. There are many reasons to instead support your local merchants, who are your neighbours and fellow taxpayers. If they prosper, they help you pay the taxes and fees that keep your town or township humming along. Your local business people are also the one who support your teams, schools, youth groups, service clubs, hospitals, cultural offerings, food banks and a myriad of other community organizations and campaigns that contribute so much to an area’s lifestyle. It certainly isn’t the online seller sponsoring soccer teams, providing door prizes for fundraisers, allowing the Salvation Army to set up its kettle and Angel tree outside its doors, holding fundraisers for student activities and trips, and collecting food and donations for the food bank. No, it’s your friendly local businesses. They support you and yours. So don’t forget them this Christmas season when you’re preparing your gift list and checking it twice.

Two sides should compromise before more damage is done

To the Editor: There are times in life when countries, communities and individuals must put aside differences and do things for the benefit of everyone. That time has arrived for the community of Arnprior and McNab-Braeside. The present community-destroying battle over library services and recreation services is such a time. I could write a many-paged letter exploring the rights and wrongs of both positions. This would accomplish nothing. Over the years I have worked and volunteered in this great community and I have never asked or been asked if I was from Arnprior, McNab or the Village of Braeside.

I have gone to school with my neighbours, worshiped with them, shared our triumphs and tragedies, and contributed to common facilities. As a fundraiser for many facilities and programs that encompass Arnprior, McNab-Braeside, West Carleton and Pakenham, I am always amazed at the generosity and community commitment from all the citizens. Let’s stop destroying a great thing. Arnprior, lower your demands and McNabBraeside, increase your offer. Let’s not do any more damage to this great community. Terry Gibeau Arnprior

Farmers need to help bees survive To the Editor: There are well-known and growing concerns about the impact that the use of neonicitinoid (neonic) pesticides are having on commercial honey producers. However, there has been a lot less consideration for the impact on wild pollinators. The Friends of the Earth recently brought Dr. David Ghoulson of the University of Sussex in England to learn from this bumble bee expert. The Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO) seized this opportunity to meet with Dr. Goulson to discuss the various factors that are impacting wild pollinators within the European context. Europe has taken stronger action on the use of neonicitinoid pesticides than North America to date, including a two-year suspension of the use of neonicitinoids on particular products where the risk of exposure to pollinators has been deemed to be high. As CFFO learns more about this issue, it appears that there are three major factors that need to be considered for wild pollinators’ hives to be resilient and healthy. The first is ensuring that there is suitable habitat for the bees with plentiful food supplies available throughout the portion of the year they are active. The second is the impact that prophylactic use of neonic pesticides is having in building up the persistent presence of neonics in the environment that may not necessarily be lethal if everything else is positive. The third are disease pressures from a variety of sources. Note that for commercial honey bees, the CFFO also believes that beneficial management practices are a relevant factor. From our perspective, it appears that it is wor-

thy of investigating whether one of these factors being a problem is sufficient to seriously harm or kill off a hive, or if whether two or more factors have to be poor is a necessary condition to create a serious problem. As responsible stewards of the creation, farmers need to consider the impact that evolving farming practices may be having on bio-diversity. While CFFO does not currently support a suspension of neonic use, we do want farmers to carefully consider their business decisions. Two of the three factors for wild pollinators are things that farmers can influence. In terms of land use decisions, the huge shift towards row crops from pasture has impacted habitat availability in Ontario. Setting aside some land for natural habitat, whether it is a small woodlot, a buffer strip or a perennial grass crop of some sort, could potentially improve one of key factors. The other is to opt out of having neonic pesticide treatment applied to the seed they purchase unless they know that there are genuine pest issues that need to battled, rather than opting for it “just in case.� The CFFO recognizes that this complex issue is far from resolved and that a great deal of research is still being worked on today across Europe and North America. However, there are key factors that have been strongly identified, and farmers need to consider if there are actions they can factor into their business plans that work more harmoniously with the natural world they ultimately rely on for their livelihoods in the long-term.

For some animals fat is good Lifestyle - With the temperatures gradually creeping their way to below the freezing point, the landscape is changing. Cold November winds have robbed the hardwood trees of their leaves, and even Tamaracks now stand naked. Small ponds are glassy-eyed with ice and even bays on larger lakes wear temporary coats shed only when winds arise or temperatures soar. Because of cooler temperatures, birdfeeders are seeing more traffic. Daily I throw cracked corn out for Mourning Doves and Dark-eyed Juncos, but any leftovers have vanished by the following dawn. Where they go is no mystery: Raccoons are also enjoying the bounty. I don’t begrudge these enterprising creatures because they need

bernators! True (“deep”) hibernators display a dramatic drop in their heart rate and body temperature; a hibernating animal would appear dead if you were to retrieve it from its subterranean dens in which its slumbers away most of the winter. Raccoons, on the other hand, usually remain above ground for the winter, and can and do become active if the temperature rises above zero. Although most animals that are not winter-active display at least minimal reduction in their heart rate and/or body temperature, Raccoons reportedly do not show either. Yet, they too become lethargic and slumber away much of the season of cold. Raccoons might be above ground, but they remain hidden from our eyes. They spend winter inside a den, which is commonly inside a hollow tree. The trunk keeps away winter winds while the hidden chamber traps the animals’ body heat. Many Raccoons spend winter huddled together in small groups, often females and their young. Huddling not only allows the Raccoons to share their body warmth; it also helps them conserve energy by creating a ball-like shape that reduces the collective amount of heat they lose. This allows each Raccoon to conserve some of the energy needed to replace the lost heat. Raccoons don’t eat during the winter and so must store plenty of fat prior to this period. During the latter part of summer and all fall they eat voraciously. To eat more,

Raccoons experience a large increase in appetite, a physiological state known as hyperphagia. In simple terms, they get a constant case of the munchies! If food is abundant, a Raccoon’s body weight increases dramatically. The fat stores serve not only as fuel for the

animal’s internal furnace but also as insulation against the cold. Over the winter this fat is gradually consumed and by spring a Raccoon can have lost up to half its body weight. If the autumn offers little food and a Raccoon enters its winter den in poor condition,

it could well perish before spring breathes new life into the land. With all the rich bounty available this fall, I suspect we will see plenty of not-so-slim Raccoons next spring! The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

Proposed spring bear hunt return praised, slammed

News – The Ontario government’s decision to bring back the controversial spring bear hunt as a pilot project is receiving a mixed reaction. The Liberal government is proposing a two-year pilot project in eight wildlife management units in northern Ontario to address problem bear issues. The hunt will be “good for public safety and good for bears,� says the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH). The OFAH has lobbied to have the spring bear hunt return since it was cancelled 14 years by the Harris Conservatives “under pressure from animal rights activists.� Meanwhile, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has condemned the move, maintaining that reinstating the spring hunt will do nothing to reduce incidences of human-bear conflict, and will “once again leave hundreds of bear cubs orphaned and starving to death.� In a news release, the IFAW says the cancellation of the spring bear hunt in 1999 did not greatly reduce the number of bears killed in Ontario. Since the cancellation of the spring

hunt, more than 5,000 bears have been killed annually in an expanded fall-only hunt - more than were being killed when the spring bear hunt existed. However, the number of orphaned cubs reported has dropped dramatically in years since the cancellation, which was the reason to cancel the spring hunt in the first place, says the wildlife group, noting that spring is the time of year when female bears are rearing their young. The OFAH disagrees. “Ontario’s spring bear hunt was a successful wildlife population management tool that assisted in maintaining the density of bears at levels that minimized dangerous encounters between people and bears, and controlled the population at a sustainable level,â€? said OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo in a news release. â€œâ€Ś we are pleased that the provincial government has finally recognized the value of this valuable wildlife management tool and has proposed a bear management program in response to problem bears in northern Ontario. While this is not the restoration of a full spring hunt, it is a positive start,

and the OFAH looks forward to working with the provincial government and local municipalities so that the full benefits of regulated hunting can be realized,� Lombardo added. The OFAH maintains the absence of a spring bear hunt has created a “severe public safety risk,� with five bear attacks being reported across the province this year. Furthermore, before its cancellation, the spring bear hunt also generated over $40 million per year in economic activity and sustained a number of jobs in northern Ontario, jobs that have since flowed to the neighbouring provinces of Manitoba and Quebec which continued to have hunts, says the OFAH. The proposed hunt will take place from May 1 to June 15 in wildlife management units 13, 14, 29, 30, 36, 41 and 42 in the Timmins to North Bay area where high levels of problem bear activity have been reported. The hunt will be open to Ontario residents only, will not allow the hunting of cubs or female bears with cubs, and would require municipalities in those areas to opt-in to the program.

Students experience work, high school The Grade 9 students at Arnprior District High School participated in the National Take Our Kids to Work Day Nov. 6. It gave students the opportunity to job shadow for a day. At the Arnprior Library, above left, children’s librarian Carolyn Swayze shares her job duties with students Emma Swayze, Sebastian Donis and Cole Desjardins. On that same day, Arnprior District High School hosted Grade 8 students from its four feeder schools for a Take Our Kids To High School Day. The day helped students with the transition from elementary to high school. Elementary students attended from McNab, A.J. Charbonneau, Walter Zadow and St. Joseph’s. Above Grade 8 student Jared Kelly learns how exciting high school science can be from science teacher Graeme Wyatt.

Friday declared Wear Pink for Peace and Prosperity Day Lifestyle – As schools across Canada mark Bullying Awareness Week Nov. 1723, students at Renfrew County Catholic schools will be thinking ‘PINK’. “We have decided to celebrate a week that is uniquely Renfrew County Catholic in nature, developing our own prayers, resources and ideas,� says the Renfrew County Catholic school board’s co-ordinator of safe schools Julie Huckabone. She has worked with Tony Cosentino, the school board’s religious and family life education resource teacher, to produce a package of resources and activities for students and teachers. “Our safe schools theme for this year is Reverencing the Dignity of All, which is taken from our board’s vision statement,� Huckabone said in a news release. “We want students and staff to consider the idea that if we have reverence for the dignity of all, we will be able to move towards eliminating bullying in our schools. We have developed a PINK approach, which is the acronym for ‘Be Peaceful, Inclusive, Noble, Kind’,� she explained. “We have worked on a variety of prayers, reflections and activities that reflect the PINK theme,� added Cosentino. “Pink is the colour of joy and it is a powerful colour for Catholics. Think of the pink candle in the Advent wreath and our joy as we wait for Jesus at Christmas. Jesus is our

joy and He lives in each one of us.� Huckabone says the week-long antibullying package will include a morning Scripture reading and reflection each day that examines positive behaviour and how it contrasts with bullying behaviour. All of the board schools also will be asked to recite the Prayer of St. Francis during the morning exercises, Huckabone said. “Tony (Cosentino) has also designed a reflection worksheet activity for students and teachers to use during each day of the week. At the end of each day, students will recite an anti-bullying pledge that Tony wrote.� The pledge written by Cosentino says: “Be peaceful, inclusive, noble and kind. Be of one heart, be of one mind. All of God’s children are born to live free. Stand up together for you and for me!� The week will culminate in a board-wide ‘Wear Pink for Peace and Prosperity Day’ this Friday, Nov. 22. “We would like to establish this day as one that reflects Renfrew County Catholics’ beliefs and that unites all of our students and staff as one voice, supporting the dignity of all in our homes, schools and communities,� said Huckabone. Schools will be invited on Friday to hold a prayer service, and possibly a rally, that allows for reflection on the week’s activities and learning, and celebrates each school’s efforts towards creating a more positive,

peaceful and safe environment for everyone. “We are hoping that people will do two things on Nov. 22 to show solidarity and to demonstrate reverence for the dignity of all,� said Huckabone. “Firstly, we hope that they will wear pink to demonstrate that they are ‘Peaceful, Inclusive, Noble and Kind’ and are aware that this approach will help us to eliminate bullying. This represents our care for the spiritual dignity of others. “Secondly, we are hoping that staff and students will consider buying a red bracelet available at their school office to wear throughout the year to mark their support for the elimination of poverty. Funds collected will go to Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN), which works to reduce child poverty locally. “This represents our concern for the physical dignity of others.� Superintendent of educational services Jaimie Perry noted that the PINK program is a unique way for the school board to mark Bullying Awareness Week. “By building our own program of activities, our Catholic board is working to create a meaningful response to a universal problem,� he said. “We are teaching our students how they can all respond to bullying in their own lives and in the world around them. We are called to be stewards of both the physical and spiritual needs of everyone around us.�

Catholic school board hires new mental health leader province to provide input and share learning. “We are happy that Rebecca has joined our team, and confidant that she will develop and implement comprehensive mental health strategies, services and support,� said director of education Michele Arbour. “Mental health and well-being are embedded as a focus in our schools to ensure that all pupils feel welcome and included.� Developing a system of care that students and families can easily navigate and conducting a needs assessment and resource mapping to identify service delivery gaps in the areas of mental health and addictions are additional aspects of the job.

“I’m honoured to have been chosen for this position,� said Paulsen, “and I’m looking forward to working with board staff, educators and community mental health workers to further develop and strengthen the mental health support system in place for students across the RCCDSB.� Paulsen’s education includes an Honours BSc (psychology) from Trent University in 2005, and Masters of social work from the University of Toronto in 2009. In addition to being a registered social worker, she has received certification in a variety of disciplines, including threat risk assessment, crisis management and trauma therapy.

Paulsen’s work experience since 2009 encompasses a number of therapy-based positions at the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families. She has worked in the school setting with students and families, creating materials, facilitating groups and collaborating with team members to create effective environments. “Rebecca brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in children’s mental health in schools to this role,� said the school board’s superintendent of educational services Peter Adam. “Through her leadership we will build an integrated system to support students with mental health and addiction needs.�

Students learn entrepreneurship Lifestyle – Local students are learning entrepreneurship through the use of technology to operate and run a small business this week. Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation was scheduled to hold two entrepreneurship competitions, one for Grade 7s at St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Arnprior Wednesday (past press deadline) to mark Global Entrepreneurship Week (Nov. 18-23). The other was at Bishop Smith High School in Pembroke for Grade 10s Monday and Tuesday. Global Entrepreneurship Week aims to inspire people everywhere through local, national and global activities to explore their potential as self-starters and innovators. Renfrew County youth entrepreneurship co-ordinator Katie Burchart was to visit schools to inspire youth to become innovators. She will be using GoVenture, an interactive learning tool that transforms learning into “an engaging and fascinating process” to captivate student’s attention. GoVenture enables students to learn how to create and run a business that is fast and effective. The program inspires learners with realistic, effective and fun learning experiences. Community Futures is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to creating opportunities for entrepreneurship and the pursuit of economic growth in Renfrew County.

Keeping the peace Local facilitator looks to establish Ottawa Valley chapter of Canadian Peace Initiative; meeting Nov. 28 sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – Theresa Dunn wants to get people talking about peace. For the Arnprior resident, it’s been a lifelong conversation. Her parents immigrated from Malta after the Second World War and she know firsthand that the effects of war are long-lasting and life-changing. “It was a very difficult transition, they lost everything,” said Dunn. It was an impoverished and difficult beginning and though they thrived here, some of the effects lasted forever. “Whenever my mother heard a loud bang, she’d run under the stairs,” she said. Her parents, and in particular her mother, helped instill in Dunn a desire for peace for all. “She was somebody who really advocated for people to love one another,” she said. And while Dunn recently

stepped down as National CoChair of the Canadian Peace Initiative (CPI), she would like to continue being an agent of peace and to be connected to the national and international initiative and hopes to start a more organized group in the Ottawa Valley. Her advocacy has brought her to many locations around the world and her conviction to the cause is as strong as ever. Among the group’s initiatives is Private Member’s Bill-C-373, which calls for the establishment of a federal department of peace. “There are a lot of countries that use infrastructures of peace,” said Dunn. The department of peace campaign urges the public to lobby party leaders and members of parliament. First reading of the bill was Nov. 30, 2012 – 15 members have seconded it and it needs 22 to move forward. Consultations

Theresa Dunn were held in six cities after first reading and more than 30 national organizations and many prominent individuals have endorsed the campaign, said CPI. There are 12 chapters in cities across Canada. Dunn will host a meeting Nov. 28 in Arnprior to update everyone on what is happening to date with CPI and to talk

Movember motivation

Proudly serving your community for over 30 years. For all your Residential, Recreational Terry Stavenow & Investment Real Estate.

Just minutes after shaving his mustache Oct. 31, Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon compares himself with his portrait Ă la mustache. Like many men, he started November without their normal beards or mustaches, to fundraise for men’s health issues. The theme of this year’s local event is Just Stache IT, in reference to participation by the county’s information technology division. “The goal is to raise vital funds and increase awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental wellness,â€? said the warden. “I hope that as many men as possible will take part in this initiative.â€? Emon’s funds are going to Movember Canada, which funds research and other projects related to prostate and colorectal cancer. About 4,000 Canadian men die of prostate cancer every year.

Lifestyle – The Arnprior Public library is hosting a launch to the festive season with an evening of Celtic music and stories. Heather Dale performs modern Celtic songs about world legends. According to a recent Vancouver Sun review, “Her music is powerful stuff, reminiscent of Loreena McKennitt and Sarah McLachlan but with a depth and resonance rooted in its mythic sources,” says Friends of the Library chair Fawn Charron. In addition to music and seasonal readings, the Friends Group will be hosting a reception following the performance on Thursday, Dec. 5.

Hockey players to help young victims of violence John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Sports – One of the best known charity hockey tournaments in the Upper Ottawa Valley takes over the Nick Smith Centre this weekend. The 28th annual ‘It Shouldn’t Hurt to be a Child Hockey Tournament’ runs Friday through Sunday with 51 teams and more than 700 participants from age 6 to 60. Men’s, women’s and youth teams are involved. Proceeds from the tournament, organized by Dave McCormick, assists the Victims of Violence Canadian centre for missing children and the It Shouldn’t Hurt to be a Child program. It has raised at least $150,000 for the cause, as well as providing an enjoyable time for many hockey players and their families. “It should be a lot of fun,” McCormick said, noting the event will likely bring in 1,000 or more new visitors to the town over the three days. He has been keeping the tournament going

for almost three decades with help from Arnprior parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur. However, if more organizing help isn’t forthcoming, this year could be its last. The Arnprior Optimists have helped by organizing a mini-stick event Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon, with at least six teams of youngsters from 6 to 10 playing in the community hall. The on-ice games are complemented by live entertainment Friday and Saturday evening in the community hall, with plenty of prizes and post-game refreshments available. MANY SPONSORS

In all, there are over 85 sponsors with 250 prizes donated. There will also be auctions in community hall Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday at 11:30 a.m. The tournament kicks off at 6 p.m. Friday with a game featuring 6-year-olds on two tyke teams from Arnprior. The opening ceremony will include Vanessa Farmer singing the national anthem.

The regular tournament features men’s and women’s teams from throughout eastern Ontario and western Quebec with many from Stittsville, Kanata and Nepean. There are men’s 19+, 30+, 35+, 40+, 45+ and 50+ divisions and ladies 19+ and 35+ divisions. The tournament also includes a hockey challenge for kids with IP, novice and atom age levels playing Saturday and pee wee and bantams Sunday. Victims of Violence is a federally registered charitable organization. Since its inception in 1984, the mission of Victims of Violence has been:

• to provide long term support and guidance to victims of violent crime and their families and to aid families of missing children in the search for their loved ones; • to conduct research on issues affecting victims of violent crime and to act as a resource centre providing information on these topics for victims and the community; • to provide to governments, news media, and the community a victim’s perspective on issues affecting victims of violent crime; • to generally promote public safety and the protection of society.

Packers stage comeback to post victory over Almonte

NOTICE

Sports – Just five minutes into Friday night’s home game against the Almonte Thunder, it looked like things may get ugly for the Arnprior Packers. The Eastern Ontario Junior B hockey squad found itself in an early hole, down 3-0 just 4:25 into the game on their home ice. However, the young squad managed to stage a comeback and defeat the rival Thunder 6-4. The Packers began their comeback midway through the first period when team captain John McLean netted a power-play marker to cut the Almonte lead to 3-1. The play would continue to go back and forth, but the period ended with the Thunder holding a two-goal lead. Less than one minute into the second period, the Packers inched even closer as leading scorer Damian Armstrong tallied his 13th goal of the season to make it a 3-2 game. Then just two minutes later, the score was all tied up when Tim McDonnell scored his fifth of the year, completing the comeback. White Lake native Dallas Farr was sprung on a breakaway just 30 seconds later and he beat Almonte goaltender Alex Daley five-hole for his fifth of the season to give the Packers a 4-3 lead.

Dr. Michel Prevost will be closing his office at 46 Spring Street, Almonte effective Wednesday November 27, 2013. After this date patients wishing their medical file be transferred to another physician please call 613-256-2500.

At the Council meeting held on May 27th, 2013, Town Council approved a pilot program for the clearing of snow from sidewalks during the upcoming winter season to examine whether certain cost savings and efficiencies could be achieved. Whereas the previous practice was to plough Town sidewalks using either the blade of the plough truck or a sidewalk plough, the pilot program will mostly employ sidewalk blowers to remove the snow from the sidewalks and deposit it on boulevards. The sidewalks in the downtown core will continue to be cleared by the sidewalk plough. The pilot program is intended to greatly decrease the need to haul snow off-site during winter months. Similarly, the snow cleared from fire hydrants will also be placed on boulevards. We wish to remind residents to refrain from parking in the roadway after a snowfall event until such time as both the road and sidewalk have been cleared of snow. The Town thanks you for your cooperation in this matter.

McLean then went out and scored two goals, including the winner, and added an assist in Valley Division-leading Arnprior’s 6-4 comeback victory over the Thunder. Shanks in on a breakaway with three minutes left and he did not disappoint, beating Daley high under the crossbar to help seal the Packers’ victory. With the win, the Packers improved to 10-6-1-0 and continue to lead the EOJHL Valley Division, one point ahead of the charging Renfrew Timberwolves.

Juveniles win two more hockey games Saturday, November 23rd QN BN r $PWFS

R0012383475

R0012418171

Sports – The Arnprior Juvenile Packers hockey team has experienced another great week of entertaining hockey, improving their record to 5-0. On Nov. 13, the team travelled to Richmond and beat the Richmond Royals 8-3. On Saturday the Juveniles played at home to a packed Nick Smith Centre, defeating West Carleton 7-1. This year the Juvenile Packers have several players capable of scoring goals, as 13 of the 15 goals were scored by different players. Curtis Watson notched a pair in the Richmond game. Talk is that the Arnprior Juvenile Packers will be invited to the 2014 International Silver Stick Tournament in Mooretown, north of Sarnia. The local business community has been supportive of their efforts this season by sponsoring individual player jerseys. Sponsors include Sullivan Construction, Rona Hardware, McEwan Homes, LA Concrete, Twin equipment and Campbell Ford. It is a good year for local Arnprior businesses to participate. The team’s next home game is Saturday, Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m against Stittsville. The Juveniles invite everyone to come out and watch some exciting hockey with no fighting.

Thunderous shot Arnprior Thunder’s Conrad Daze fires a shot that Eddy Proulx will attempt to deflect during last weekend’s peewee house tournament game against Metcalfe Jets. Coach Steve Young kept his team focused during the third as they went on to a 4-1 win. Neither Thunder nor Arnprior Young Guns took the title this year.

Diabetes for a Day volunteers include hospital CEO Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – When the diabetes educators at Arnprior Regional Health needed volunteers for the Diabetes for a Day program, they went straight to the top. Volunteers recruited for the local initiative include Arnprior Regional Health CEO Eric Hanna, who completed the diabetes education session just like a patient newly-diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. ARH said the plan to have Hanna participate allowed the hospital’s senior leader to gain insight into the learning curve of

someone newly diagnosed. “It was certainly an eye-opening experience,� said Hanna. “It is one thing to be told you will have to modify your lifestyle to live with diabetes, but it is certainly more difficult to practice the necessary changes.� Hanna learned first-hand the self management skills required to maintain ideal blood glucose controls, including self-monitoring using a glucometer, portion control specific to carbohydrate intake, meal spacing, ideal water intake, daily physical activity, daily foot inspections and a medication/insulin regime. “This mock experience certainly gave me an appreciation of the impact this medical condition would have not only on myself but also my friends and family. It also reinforced the importance of diabetes programs such as those offered at ARH,� said Hanna. The Diabetes for a Day program is designed to raise awareness of the disease, one that affects nine million people in Canada. Renfrew County’s rates for diabetes, hypertension, obesity and physical inactivity are among the highest in the province. The prevalence of diabetes for adults in the county is 9.3 per cent compared to 8.4 per cent across the Champlain LHIN region. EDUCATION KEY

Arnprior Regional Health diabetes educator Janet James Whalen, left, and Maureen Miller, dietitian, show a model indicating proper dinner portion sizes.

November is globally recognized as diabetes month and ARH officials and staff are keen to share information about the disease and the services available for patients from across the region, including West Carleton.. If left untreated or improperly managed, diabetes can result in a variety of complications, including

heart disease, kidney disease, eye disease, impotence and nerve damage. ARH dietitian Maureen Miller works alongside diabetes educator Janet James Whalen to educate patients and she decided to volunteer for the program by living as a Type 1 diabetic for the weekend, a process that included regular injections of saline. At a meeting last week in the diabetes room at Arnprior hospital, the two volunteers joined Vicki and Greg Murdoch, a mom and son who over the years have learned to live with Greg’s Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in younger people and is caused because the body cannot produce enough insulin. In the more common Type 2 diabetes, usually diagnosed in adults,

the body cannot use the insulin it produces. Miller said that although she’s familiar with the ins and outs of managing diabetes, it was still a learning experience to go through the motions of a Type 1 diabetic. For her it underscored the importance of education for patients living with the disease. “Self-management is key. Eating habits, physical activity, medication or insulin – all play a factor,� said Miller. Something Miller and Whalen want the public to be aware of is that patients can self-refer to the diabetes program at ARH, as well as getting connected through their physicians. The program, which runs two-anda-half days per week, includes group sessions and individual counselling. “We try to give them the tools and skills to be able to effectively man-

R0242148199

age diabetes,� said Whalen. Since April of this year alone, 240 clients have accessed services through the diabetes program at ARH. Whalen and Miller do not work alone and it’s ideal to have the other professionals, including physicians, pharmacists, nurse practitioners and others, working towards the best care for a patient. SUPPLIES COSTLY

Supplies required for maintaining diabetes can be expensive, and pose a serious challenge to those with lower incomes and those without health insurance. The strips alone for testing cost $1 each and some patients will test four to six times per day. See PUBLIC Page 31

Public, patient education key to managing diabetes Continued from Page 29

An insulin pump itself is an expensive venture, though there is some funding available. For testing, it’s recommended people not use thumbs or pinkies – second, third or fourth fingers are best, said Whalen. Washing hands before testing is a vital role in the process. Traces of juice or other substance can alter test results. LIVING WITH TYPE 1

Vicki Murdoch and her son Greg know all too well the trials and tribulations of living with diabetes. Diagnosed at age 11, Greg, who is now 22, has Type 1. For the past six years, Greg has had an insulin pump that takes the place of daily injections - a change that has made a great difference in their lives. “It works just like a pancreas,� said Vicki. “It secretes a little bit of insulin all the time.� Adjustments can be made on a daily basis, if needed, to account for increased activity or a change in diet. The pump can help ease the structure required for diabetics – especially for teens who might want to sleep in “With the pump you don’t have to eat at certain times or worry

about getting up to take a needle,� said Vicki. “From injections to this, it’s a whole new world.� The pump is worn at most times, except during sports for Greg, who is an active Special Olympian heading to compete in swimming in the national competition next summer in B.C. The pump sits clipped to his hip and connected to his body. And while it has improved quality of life for Greg and his family, the pump is not without its challenges. “Sometimes I find it hard to sleep,� said Greg. Key in managing diabetes is having the proper supplies on hand and having people aware of and educated about the disease. Vicki had to have frequent conversations with teachers and other caregivers over the years, but eventually everyone settled into a routine. The Murdochs must have extra items, including an insulin injection in case the pump fails. “Travelling can be a nightmare,� said Vicki. But Greg and the family have learned to manage it well and have met some great people along the way. Ongoing care includes regular SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND medical appointments and meeting with the endocrinologist every three Greg Murdoch, 22, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 11 years old.

around the ground with the toes of our boots and ever so carefully gathered those we thought were exactly what Mother had asked for. Mother had given us a breadbasket to bring them in, and she told us over and over again to handle them very carefully, laying one on top of the other so they wouldn’t break. While Audrey and I were out in the yard picking through the leaves, which by that time in the fall were wet and soggy, Mother was in the kitchen melting the wax from the tops of the opened pickle and preserves jars on the Findlay Oval. She had spread out pages of the Renfrew Mercury on the bake table, and Audrey and I were told to very, very carefully, lay out the leaves, making sure they were placed gently on the tea towel. Mother, as carefully as she would wipe a baby’s bottom, dabbed the leaves with a tea towel. She brought the pot over to the bake table and, picking up a leaf at a time by its stem, dipped it carefully into the melted wax. The leaf was then put onto yet another tea towel where Mother said anyone who touched it would do so at their own peril! Father came in for his supper, glanced at the waxed leaves, shook his head, and headed for the wash basin. Not a word was mentioned about the waxed leaves over supper. But Mother rushed us through ‘redding’ up the kitchen that night and had Audrey wipe the red-checkered oilcloth twice to make sure it was good and dry. She then carefully, making a circle around the sugar bowl and spoon holder, laid out the waxed leaves. She overlapped them and Audrey and I thought we had the cleverest mother in all of Renfrew County! With the simple placing of waxed leaves, Mother had turned our plain old table into something grand.

Father complained there was no place to put the coal oil lamp. Mother settled that by pulling down the Coleman lamp that hung over the table and was used only when we had company, as the fragile wicks cost a whole dime at Briscoe’s General Store. Of course, any wax that was left over was put aside to set, and then cut into blocks and again stored in the little honey pail to use when Mother again put down preserves and pickles. Nothing was wasted. Audrey and I thought the leaf display was lovely. And it stayed on the table for the whole week. Audrey said it was the steady throbbing heat of the Findlay Oval, Father said they had just died a natural death, but by the next Saturday, the leaves

had started to curl and after Emerson dropped several spoons from the spoon holder, he said accidently, the leaves started to look the worst for wear. It was with great reluctance the next Saturday morning, what was left of the leaves was gathered up and tossed into the cook stove. Father said it was time. After all, that night it was our turn to host the Saturday night house party, and the old pine table was needed for euchre. A red geranium, which had seen better days, took the place of the wreath of wax leaves. It, and the waxed leaves, was Mother’s way of trying desperately to bring a bit of cheer to an old log house that for generations had known nothing more than a life lived in the simplest of ways.

Mary Cook’s Memories

Lifestyle – Where Mother got the idea, no one knew. It certainly wasn’t from Aunt Bertha on the next farm. She was far too practical to do something that took a lot of time and really didn’t amount to a hill of beans when it came to keeping food on the table. No, my sister Audrey said it was probably something she picked up when she lived in New York. Father of course, said he never heard of anything so crazy in his whole life! Fall had settled in, with the blasts of cold winter already closing in around us, but snow yet to come, Mother decided she would do something to keep the season alive as long as she could. The lawn at the side of the house still had plenty of fallen maple leaves on the ground, and Mother thought it would give a nice touch to the table at meal times if she could just bring a bit of those rich fall colours indoors. She was going to wax the leaves, and place them on a lace doily all around the spoon holder and the sugar bowl. A small honey pail held all the pieces of wax that came off the top of the preserve and pickle jars once they were opened, and Mother would use it instead of buying a whole box of wax at Briscoe’s General Store. That alone should have impressed Father, but it did nothing of the sort. He still thought waxing leaves was right up there with trying to nurse geraniums through the winter once they had lost their bloom, which Mother was prone to do. But Mother paid him no heed. It was on a Saturday that cold fall day when she sent Audrey and me out to the yard. We were to bring in only those leaves which were perfectly formed, didn’t have a break in them, or a mark on them, and were to be the largest and reddest we could find. We shoved the fallen leaves

Santa made a pre -Christmas visit to the Arnprior Villa last Friday to deliver the Sears Wish Book door-todoor. It’s the second straight year that the Arnprior Sears outlet has arranged to have Santa make the deliveries personally at the Villa. Above Santa presents a Wish Book to Mary Michelson. The gang at Sears are now turning their attention to getting their float ready for the Arnprior Santa Parade Nov. 30.

Valley Band the Bowes Brothers are getting in the holiday spirit with Home for Christmas concerts in Almonte Nov. 24, Shawville Dec. 1 and Carleton Place Dec. 8. ie’ Brown of Carleton Place. The Bowes Brothers and Brown both received acclaim for their performances during the 2013 Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame awards

show at Nepean’s Centrepointe Theatre Sept. 29. Backing up the Bowes Brothers will be the North Country Show Band including father Clarence on rhythm guitar, drummer

The Bowes boys were born, raised and still live in and around Carleton Place. Many of their songs are written by oldest brother Ed, while younger brothers Rod, John and Andy all take turns on lead vocals. Influenced by some of the greats of the country music industry, the band features outstanding four-part harmony. Youngest brother Andy is also well known for his yodeling ability.

“For these shows we will be doing 75 per cent Christmas music,� says band spokesman John Bowes. In 2006 the brothers released a holiday CD, ‘Home for Christmas’, one of five recordings they have made. Their latest recording ‘Strictly Statler’, in which they cover many of the hit songs of the Statler Brothers including such favourites as Flowers on the Wall and Bed of Roses, is selling well. John Bowes says the proceeds from all three performances will go back to the communities involved. “The Almonte show is in support of the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County. The Shawville and Carleton Place shows will support the Pontiac Hospital Centre and the Carleton Place Hospital Foundation,� he explained. Tickets for the Almonte concert are available at Nicholson’s Sundries in Pakenham. For more information about the upcoming concerts visit www.bowesbrothers.com or call 613-253-5487.

Community – The Arnprior Girl Guides and Pathfinders paired with the Arnprior Rotary Club to support the ‘We Scare Hunger’ program on Halloween. The girls collected nonperishable items for the Arnprior Food Bank while trickor-treating. Homeowners were asked when they saw the ‘strange creatures’ at their door to: “Don’t fear, they just want to help this year!� Supporting the program’s ‘Free the Children’ movement in Arnprior were also students from Walter Zadow and A.J. Charbonneau schools. Earlier this year, Arnprior District High School student Oliver Jacob organized fundraising stations around Arnprior to collect donations for the Free the Children program. Last year, A.J. Charbonneau students raised almost $10,000 for the program.

Community – Arnprior’s Shawn Fridgen received the most precious gift – life – through a heart transplant. And the community is behind him 100 per cent as he recovers from the life-changing surgery. Family, friends and supporters turned out en masse for Show Your Heart For Shawn, a benefit dance and auction Nov. 9 at the Nick Smith Centre. “It was excellent,” said benefit organizer and friend Scott Brum, who said close to 250 people were in attendance. “People who didn’t even know Shawn showed up to support him.” Not only was the event a chance to support Fridgen following his recent heart transplant surgery, it reignited the local conversation about organ donation, and its importance. “‘Take five, save eight’ was heard around the hall a lot that night,” said Brum, alluding to the slogan used to promote organ donation. He urged the public to take five minutes to visit beadonor.ca to register, with the potential of saving eight lives. “Just actually getting to discuss organ donation was great,” said Brum. There are still misconceptions, he added. Just signing the card in your wallet is not enough, said Brum. “If you don’t go online to beadonor.ca, you’re not a donor.” Many people feel that registering to donate organs means if human recipients are not found the organs could automatically be used for medical research and that is just not

Joining Lyon, from left, are Cheryl Pickard, Cathy Fridgen and Andrea Bahm. the case, said Brum. “If you don’t want them used for research, you can specify that,” he added. The benefit itself will go a long way towards helping Fridgen and family on the long road to recovery. Brum credited local businesses and individuals for their donations and support. Among the top prizes of the night was a WestJet vacation won by Monica Lyon. “The community was really behind this,” said Brum. Fridgen himself and his family are thrilled with the support. The healing process is going smoothly, thus far.

“He’s doing really well,” said Brum. “He’s home with his family.” Fridgen, wife Cathy and three kids are grateful for the love, support and good wishes. It’s hard to see anyone go through something like this and it hits particularly hard when it’s someone close. It has certainly caused families to talk about the what-ifs, said Brum. “Unfortunately, it has to be when one of your own has to have a transplant to bring it out into the forefront,” he said.

Improving the Patient Experience in the Emergency Department Arnprior Regional Health is always looking to incorporate best practices and deliver excellent care to our patients. Research shows us that happy patients have quicker recovery times. We also know that pain and anxiety are two main issues for most patients in the emergency department. To give our patients a better overall experience, new tactics have been deployed with the end goal of improving the patient experience. One tactic used to ease anxiety is patient rounding in the waiting room. Patient rounding is a brief conversation with the patient. While you are waiting to see the emergency doctor, our goal is to have a nurse check in on you (bearing in mind that at times due to high volume this may be impossible). The nurse wants to ensure that you are ok and that your condition has not worsened. S/he will check that your pain is still being managed by the Tylenol or Ibuprofen that you may have received during triage. To protect confidentiality the nurse will not ask specific medical questions but wants to monitor your physical and mental wellbeing. A pediatric patient may have their temperature rechecked during this time. In addition, the nurse will also explain wait times and let patients know if wait times have increased since triage time. Another tactic is healthcare introductions, again to help reduce anxiety. Staff already identify themselves RN Tennille Wright completing a post discharge when you enter the treatment area but are now taking it a step further. They will tell you their name, their phone call. role at the hospital and how long they’ve been in the role. They will let you know what you can expect in regards to tests or procedures the doctor may have ordered. They will explain how long you will be waiting for test results. At this time they will also ask if you have any other questions. Your visit to the emergency department doesn’t end once you are discharged. A few days after you leave, you may receive a follow up phone call at home. The purpose of this phone call is to verify that your health condition is improving. A series of questions will be asked, some will have to do with your medical condition and some will have to do with your overall patient experience. We want to know how you’re feeling, if you’ve made a follow up appointment with your family doctor, how staff treated you, and so on. This phone call would also be a reminder to patients who do not have a family doctor that they should come back to the ER if their situation worsens.

We would love to hear all about your recent ER visit. Please complete your patient experience survey or send an email to feedback@arnpriorhealth.ca with any compliment or complaint you may have. We are always looking to improve and to provide exemplary care to all of our patients. 34 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, November 21, 2013

Dave. S, an ER patient, recently told us: “Within minutes of arriving at the ER, I saw a triage nurse. About 45 minutes to an hour later I was seen by a doctor who sent me for an X-Ray. Once the doctor received the results, he completed his diagnosis and sent me on my way. The approximate time from entry to exit was around one and a half hours. I then received a follow-up call from, I believe, a nurse who checked my progress and asked how satisfied I was with the service received. Needless to say, I indicated that I was very impressed with every aspect of my treatment”.

News – Giant Tiger is getting into the spirit of giving a little early with a fundraiser that supports the Arnprior and District Food Bank. On Tuesday, Dec. 3, the store will donate $1 for every transaction through the registers, to a maximum of $2,500. “We’re working closely with the food bank all year round but going into the Christmas season we know the need for the food bank just explodes,” said Arnprior Giant Tiger owner Mike Marcil. “We try and do as much as we can for the food bank.” The store has run this holiday drive in the past, to much success. “”I’m very pleased to say we’ve always reached the maximum amount,” said Marcil. “The support from our community and the surrounding communities is absolutely fabulous.

Is the $20 million yours?

Meanwhile, a Renfrew woman is one step closer to claiming a $75,000 win through the Ontario Lottery Gaming (OLG) Corporation’s Instant Frogger game. Because Cynthia Trahan is an employee at an OLG retail location, the prize falls within OLG’s definition of an insider win. As of Nov. 7, the prize claim had com-

pleted the first step of a two-step insider wins process. To complete the claim, the prize will be held for a 30-day waiting period. If there are no additional claims on the prize, it will be paid to Trahan on Dec. 6. There have been a few area lottery winners recently. Ronald Gilchrist of Pembroke won $308,948 with a Lottario ticket, while Phillip Dresch of Arnprior took home $1,000 on Keno.

T’was the month before Christmas Ian Stupp Pet Talk

Lifestyle – T’was the month before Christmas and all through the place Mommy and Daddy had egg on their face While all of their neighbours shopped back in September Mommy and Daddy just now remembered So got off your buts 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. 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 avoured in beef or chicken and come in all shapes and sizes. They even sell bones that act like dental

oss. 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 jeweller 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. 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 certiďŹ cate for a day at the spa (for the pet not the owner) or a gift certiďŹ cate 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. N., Arnprior. He can be reached at 613-623-6200 or wagswhiskers@hotmail.com.

Army cadets move quickly into training mode Community – The Arnpriorbased 2360 First Air Defence Regiment Royal Canadian Army Cadets Corps has had an active summer and fall. The Cadet roster stands at 38, with two new officers, Cadets Chuck Warren, and Sandra Carson. The Corps is led by Captain Rob Dufour, with help from officers Capt. Cathy Dufour, Capt. Susie Mallett and Capt. Jason Mawdsley. After wrapping up 2012-13 with a year-end trip to a youth leadership camp at Pigeon Lake, the cadets kicked off a new season in the month of September with several special activities. They took adventure training at the Connaught Rangers’ Challenge Course in Ottawa. Several cadets biked from downtown Ottawa to the Connaught Rangers training site. The cadets also took part in an orienteering exercise at the Log Farm in Ottawa in October. A corps member, WO Rianna Warren, was invited to be present for the presentation of the first poppy to Governor General David Johnston at Rideau Hall Oct. 10. On Oct. 28, the Cadets held a Halloween party, showcasing their pumpkin-carving skills. The cadets marched in the Arnprior Remembrance Day parade Nov. 11 and participated in the ceremony at the cenotaph.

Again a big “Thank You” to all of you. Most sincerely, Eleanor Hotchkiss

We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to all our family, friends, and co-workers who supported us in our recent loss of our dear Mom and Granny, Doreen Dodge. The donations to Arnprior Braeside McNab Seniors at Home Program, to our extended Dodge Family for a great meal and for always being there. Although the last few years have been a struggle for Mom, the caregivers and staff at Autumn Leaves in Braeside, Groves Park Lodge and the Arnprior Grove always made her laugh and put a smile on her face.

A mere “Thank-You” seems so inadequate to express my most sincere appreciation to so many of you wonderful people. Special thanks to Dr. W.E. Gordon, Dr. Kiskis and all the staff at Arnprior and District Hospital, all of whom treated my dear Jack with excellent care and compassion. Special thanks also to Andre Pilon and his staff for the very professional care and guidance at such a sad time for me and my family this past August. Andre made us feel like we were old friends, and we had just met him. Special thanks to Cathy Williamson who conducted the beautiful funeral service, our very loved Grandchildren that did the readings, and to our dear friend Keray O’Reilly for the very entertaining eulogy.

If I had all the world to give, I’d give it, yes, and more, To hear her voice and see her smile And greet her at my door. But all I can do, dear mother, Is go and tend your grave, And leave behind tokens of love, To the best mother God ever made, I like to think, when life is done, Wherever heaven may be, That she’ll be standing at the door Up there to welcome me.

We wish Heaven had a telephone So we could hear your voice again We thought of you today But that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday And days before that too. We think of you in silence We often speak your name All we have is memories and A picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, From which we will never part Our creator has you in his arms, We have you in our hearts. God’s Lent Child I’ll lend you for a little while, a child of mine, God said. For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he’s dead. It may be six or seven years, or forty-two or three, But will you till I call him back, take care of him for me?

Loved and missed everyday Julie & Tim

In memory of

Denis Desjardins

He’ll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief, You’ll always have his memories as a solace in your grief. I cannot promise he will stay since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.

I’ve looked this whole world over in search of teachers true, And from the folk that crowd Life’s Lane, I have chosen you. Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain, Nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again? I fancy that I heard them say “Dear God, thy will be done” For all the joys this child will bring the risk of grief we’ll run. We will shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may, And for all the happiness we’ve ever known, we’ll ever grateful stay But should the angels call him much sooner than we planned, We will brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.

Muriel Richard May 24, 1946 - November 22, 2009 CLR484467

Peacefully, surrounded by family, at Renfrew Hospice. “Al,â€? the great patriarch of our bountiful family: son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, his legacy and memory secure for many succeeding generations. Son of Harry Lunan Gallon, a car repairman for the Canadian National Railroad, and Hilda Euphemia (Gallant), a school teacher who also operated the family general store in New Carlisle, Quebec. Predeceased by sister Beth, daughter Sandra and wife Connie. Survived by daughters Cathy, Pamela ( Ralph Roloff) and Nancy (Tom Conners); son Harry Chris (Nathalie Haddad); “Granddadâ€? to David, Elias, Aviva, Joel and Jordan; Eric, Sonya and Anita; Ryan, Dylan and Nathalie; Nicholas and Quinton; “Great Granddadâ€? to Karmyn, Jacob, Yoni and Jack. Al was born November 30, 1930 in New Carlisle, Quebec and graduated from New Carlisle High School in 1947. He attended Bishops College in Lennoxville, Quebec for a term before moving to Montreal where he worked for National Breweries. In 1950, he enrolled at the University of New Brunswick in the Forestry faculty. He played offensive guard for the UNB football team in his freshman year and participated in the Red and Black Revue. While in his last year at UNB, he met Hazel Constance Stacey and they married September 23, 1954. Upon graduation in 1955, Al accepted a position with Canadian International Paper and was posted to Maniwaki, Quebec. He was subsequently offered and accepted a position with Imperial Oil in Montreal, where their ďŹ rst daughter Catherine was born. Al shortly thereafter assumed the position of mill foreman with Pine Land Timber Company in Foleyet, Ontario and then accepted a position as a civil engineer with Federal Public Works, Harbours and Rivers Engineering Department, located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Pamela was born there in 1957. In 1958, Al was promoted to Territorial Engineer for Halifax County and that same year, received his Provincial Land Surveyor’s license. In 1959, he was hired by Canada Creosoting Company and moved to Truro, Nova Scotia. That same year, Sandra was born. Sandra suffered from a hole in her heart which at that time could not be remedied. Al and Connie were told by doctors that she would not live a year. Al credited Connie’s “love, care and devotionâ€? for sustaining Sandra for two and half years. Nancy was born in 1960. While living in Truro, Al joined the Kinsmen Club and was instrumental in helping build and maintain the ďŹ rst racially integrated public swimming pool in the area. He also helped establish a minor football program in Truro and provided counselling and guidance to under privileged local children. Chris (Harry) was born in 1964. In 1965, Al accepted a position as Technical Service Engineer with Kenwood Mills and moved the family to Arnprior, Ontario. In 1967, Kenwood Mills and Formex amalgamated into a new company named Huyck Canada Limited. In 1968, Al assumed the Sales Engineer role in Quebec with Huyck and the family moved to Quebec City. In 1971, the family relocated to Nepean, Ontario and Al was promoted to Regional Sales Manager in 1972. He was actively involved in Nepean Minor Hockey as an assistant coach and team manager with Chris’s teams. In 1976, he was promoted to Canadian Sales Manager and appointed a director on the Canadian board. In 1980, Al accepted a position with Huyck in Albany, New York where he worked for four years before relocating back to Canada in Braeside, Ontario. Al assumed the position of VicePresident of Marketing and Sales for Huyck Canada, where he worked until retirement in 1992. Al enjoyed his retirement planting trees and tending to his vegetable garden and he and Connie traveled abroad. In 1959, Al was inducted to the Masons and upon returning to Braeside, afďŹ liated with the Madawaska Lodge. He was elected Master of the Lodge in 1996. Al was also a member of the Scottish Rite and became a Shriner, where he served in the clown unit as “Four Quartsâ€? the clown. By 2000, Connie needed to undergo dialysis three times a week, which limited their travels. In 2010, Al and Connie moved to Quail Creek Retirement Home in Renfrew, Ontario. Connie passed away on May 29th 2012. Al gave to many public and private charities without acknowledgement or recognition. The entire family is indebted to his tireless, seless dedication in ensuring our mom’s many medical needs were met and that her quality and longevity of life were ensured. In a life well worn and full of accomplishment, that stands as the crown jewel of his enduring legacy. In lieu of owers, the family suggests a donation to Hospice Renfrew, the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Dialysis Unit or the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Please join us in celebrating Al’s life Saturday, November 16th at Chris (Harry) and Nathalie’s home, 3732 Kinburn Side Road, junction of Highway 17 and Kinburn, Exit 169 off the 417, anytime after 1 p.m. Arrangements entrusted to the care of Anderson Funeral Home, Renfrew.

You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Forever loved and missed, Mearl, Tammy, Mark, Melinda, Joselyn and Dusty

Come out for area’s first-ever Medieval Feast Heather Lang

Events - Feasts in the middle ages were occasions of great excess in all areas, from food to pageantry. Often such feasts were held to celebrate the holiday season, a wedding or other grand event. The first-ever medieval feast for this area is taking place Friday, Nov. 29, starting at 7 p.m., at the Masonic Hall in Arnprior. Organized by the just-formed McNab Celtic Heritage Society, the feast comes one day before St. Andrew’s Day (Scotland’s patron saint) and about three weeks before Christmas. So why attend this St. Andrew’s Day Medieval Feast? It’s a great opportunity to dine in the manner of many of our forebears. After all, most of us living in this area can trace our roots back to the English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh or even Scandinavians. I’m going to pay homage to my own lineage. My paternal grandmother’s family by the name of Grieve hailed from Scotland and actually settled at Scotch Corners near Almonte before heading to St. Mary’s in southern Ontario, where their skills as stonemasons were put to good use in that famous limestone town. My paternal grandfather’s family - Lang - came from York, which was invaded and settled by the Danish Vikings. And my maternal family, Simonsen, who are Danish, can trace their roots to the Vikings themselves.

Mary Campbell pours a drink into Heather Lang’s goblet as Rose Ann MacLaren looks on. All three are members of the newly-formed McNab Celtic Heritage Society, which is hosting a Medieval Feast in Arnprior Nov. 29 to celebrate St. Andrew’s Day. A five-course meal (duck n’ leek soup, braised leg of cock, roastitt meats and vegetables, tarts and sweets, and fruit and cheeses) will be dished out by servers in monk costumes and eaten off medieval feastware. Robert Carr will be emcee and Rev. Leo and Margaret Hughes will be the Laird and his wife for the evening.

If you’re fascinated with all that is medieval - and you wouldn’t be alone - this is a perfect opportunity to take part in our very own medieval celebration. We’re seeing a rise in popularity in reenactments of long-ago battles, and the conquests that took place during the Middle Ages continue to enthrall. Or, if you’d like to try something different, this feast can certainly deliver on that … in spades. A five-course meal eaten in the style of the day (think bread boards, knives and fingers); a horseshoe-type table arrangement to make it possible for everyone to converse and enjoy the entertainment, which will take place between courses in the middle of the room; and décor to match. If you’d like to dress up, by all means, go for it. You can make your own costume, or you may be able to find something for rent from Dianne Rochon in Arnprior (613-623-8891) or Marlene Schaly near Burnstown. Tickets cost $25 each (children under 12 are free). All proceeds are going to the new McNab Celtic Heritage Society, which is being formed to put on Celtic-inspired events. Buy your ticket soon as they’re starting to get snapped up and organizers need final numbers for the feast (tickets available at Jim’s Restaurant in Arnprior or in Renfrew at Fraser’s Clothing and M&R, as well as by calling 613-623-3614 or 613-432-6271).
