Glenn Arthur discusses life in Arnprior, career, rink naming DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
When Glenn Arthur was summoned to the Nov. 14 council meeting, he didn’t think much of it. The longtime recreation director at the Town of Arnprior grabbed a few files and showed up at council chambers. Trouble was, his family was seated in the gallery. Grandkids ran up to hug a leg. Kathy, his wife, smiled knowingly from her chair. Members of council and staff looked on and some laughed aloud. Glenn approached the group, corralling the kids into a huddle. He could be heard asking what was going on. Why is everyone here? It wasn’t long into the meeting when the 65-yearold many know simply as Archie would find out. The municipality was determined to formally recognize Arthur’s 35 years of service. A large glass-framed letter containing a proclamation would be handed to him by Mayor David Reid. It reads, in part: “Since
1982 the recreation department has been led by Glenn Arthur, the director of recreation, whose leadership has created an environment that has contributed to many successful economic development activities which have established the Town of Arnprior with a solid reputation as an exceptional place to live, work and play.” Reading from the proclamation, Reid said: “Glenn Arthur has been instrumental in creating and attracting recreation programs and leisure services which are the envy of our comparator municipalities across the Province of Ontario.” The appreciation shown went far beyond a letter. The town announced that Dec. 1, 2017, is “Glenn Arthur Day” in Arnprior, and that pad B at the Nick Smith Centre, often called his “home away from home” will officially be known henceforth as Glenn Arthur Arena. The town’s longest serving employee will retire that day, said a visibly moved Reid, who called it a “bit-

Arnprior council calls for more study of minimum wage bill Change saves from 10% tax increase for firefighting DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Towns such as Arnprior have averted a double-digit tax increase after the provincial government backed down on one aspect of Bill 148. At the Nov. 14 council meeting, a resolution was tabled to ask the government of Ontario to exempt volunteer firefighters from the plan to, in part, raise minimum wage to $15 per hour. Municipal ratepayers would face a tax increase “of at least 10 per cent” just to maintain the current number of firefighters. “Changes proposed to on-call provisions in the Emergency Standards Act through Bill 148 are not sustainable and will result in exorbitant municipal tax rate increases in order to maintain a viable volunteer fire department in Arnprior,” reads the resolution. However, that morning the town received a letter from labour minister Kevin Flynn saying the government will “strengthen” the bill after consulting for several months now. “Emergency service workers who provide es-
sential public services like fire protection and snow removal will continue to serve the public as they do today,” reads the letter. “Bill 148 will help grow the economy by giving Ontarians more money to spend at local businesses. More than 50 economists from across Canada, including two former presidents of the Canadian Economics Association, agree with us and have voiced their support.” Arnprior’s local legislators agreed to send the resolution to Flynn, Premier Kathleen Wynne, MPP John Yakabuski and other municipalities. They did so because it includes a request that “a full economic impact analysis” of the bill. Mayor David Reid is concerned aspects of the minimum wage plan will be negatively impact businesses and municipalities. “We need to keep the pressure on. Everyone wants to help those with low income but we need an analysis to see if it will have the proper effects,” Reid said. “A lot of people say it won’t.” He didn’t cite the creditably of those opposed, but did add the minimum wage increase in Seattle backfired. Reid also said once the changes “trickle” through all of society taxes will increase and cut into any gains the working poor make. Reeve Walter Stack agreed, saying other portions of the bill are concerning, not just the minimum wage increase.
Collision statistics prompt calls for solutions to McNab/Braeside road DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
The high number of vehicle collisions along one stretch of road in the Township of McNab/ Braeside has a councillor calling for solutions. White Lake Road between Kippen Road and Robertson Line – the hilly and windy portion – has been the site of 55 motor vehicle collisions over the last five years. Of those, 43 were property damage only, 10 personal injury, and one fatal. The fatal occurred Aug. 28 when 22-yearold Shannon MacPherson’s car, travelling from Calabogie to Highway 417, ended up in a ditch. Coun. Mark MacKenzie, who regularly travels White Lake Road, raised the topic of the accident during a meeting soon after. He brainstormed aloud over possible solutions, including the installation of guardrails. OPP Const. Kenneth Rusaw compiled the statistics independently of township council. He offered no solutions to the “area of concern” on White Lake Road. But did provide the proof. “This motor vehicle collision – fatal was an unfortunate tragedy, but it also validated the analytical data I had prepared,” reads his report submitted to council. MacKenzie also called it a concern. And the stats confirmed what many in the village of White Lake and area have suspected for a long
time. But he also admitted driver error plays a role. The key is to find out what is causing the error. “They are not accidents,” he said. “They are not happening for no reason. Sometimes it’s driver error. A minor error (in that area lined with large boulders) is all it takes to cause a major collision when we are driving.” He also cited animal collisions. “About five years ago I hit a porcupine. I could be one of those statistics,” he said. “Thankfully I only had about $2,000 damage under my car. It could have been far worse.” He doubts the Ministry of Transportation would agree to widen the tree-lined road. Private properties and numerous homes are nearby. He would like to see the shoulders widened and include rumble strips. More warning signs are an option. Greater police presence to deal with speeding is another. “There is serious improvement needed, given the stats,” he said. “Fifty-five in five years is far too big a number.” Yes, carelessness happens, but he maintains plenty can be done to jar people out of distraction. Mayor Tom Peckett represents the township at county council. He agreed to bring MacKenzie’s forthcoming report to the higher level of government that is responsible for the road. No improvements are expected this winter, but perhaps in spring.

It’s been an atypical start to the year at Arnprior District High School. Other years there are one, maybe two violent incidents between September and June. This year, there have already been four. The latest, according to OPP Const. Janice Sawbridge, was on Wednesday, Nov. 8, during the noon break. “OPP officers responded to a reported assault on Ottawa Street (just outside the school),” Sawbridge said. “The investigation revealed two males, both aged 15, were involved in a consensual fight. One male was transported by paramedics to hospital. No serious injuries were
sustained.” No charges were laid, she added. The Youth Criminal Justice Act prevents the public release of their names. Another recent incident involving a student from the school saw garbage cans along nearby streets thrown against cars, causing damage in some instances. After knocking on doors up and down Bell Street, OPP continue to investigate. ADHS Principal Tom Havey called this autumn an anomaly. In both cases, it was students who called OPP before staff had the chance to deal with the situation. He said, typically, students will warn staff before an incident arises, giving time to avert confrontations. “Typically we do not call police unless
there are grounds for charges,” he said. “In no way is fighting acceptable in school or society. And we make sure students know there will be consequences.” Havey said a few “rubberneckers” will gather around a fight to give a moment’s notice to the participants, as they have for past generations, but most of the student population is usually ashamed on behalf of their school. “The vast majority see it as foolish and upsetting more than anything else,” Havey said. “They’ll say, that’s not who we are.” He reiterated that usually other students report an upcoming incident to a teacher or administrator they trust, and all is resolved before it comes to blows.
Township boat launches site of thefts from vehicles Thefts from vehicles parked at boat launches are continuing. One victim reported the tonneau cover ruined and the thief stole numerous articles including musky lure/buck tail making materials, fishing supplies, camping supplies and hand tools from the truck bed. This incident occurred on Oct. 9 but was reported to the OPP online on Nov. 8. A second victim reported their vehicle damaged
and entered on Wednesday, Nov. 8 between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Stolen property included two Transom supports, fishing net, K-bar knife, two electric knives, flash light, Eliminator battery booster, survival suit, axe, winter jacket, Rocky hunting boots, drift socks (sea anchors). The Clay Bank boat launch and the White Lake boat launch were the locations in the above thefts.
A car wash money dispenser stolen in Arnprior on Sept. 24 has been recovered. The machine was stolen overnight from the TA Touchless Car Wash in Arnprior. It was found in a ditch along the Long Sault Parkway in South Stormont Township on Nov. 9. Police are continuing to investigate. The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated 266 calls for service during the past week.

The $10-million downtown revitalization project has been realized. Arnprior council members Lynn Grinstead, Walter Stack, Frank Dugal, Mayor David Reid, Ted Strike, Tom Burnette, and Dan Lynch, gather for a ribbon cutting moments before the final road, Elgin Street at town hall, is reopened to the public. The two-year project that saw many 100-year-old water and sewer pipes replaced, along with sidewalk widenings, more greenspace, and new roads proved a challenge to traffic flows. But overall Reid is pleased with the outcome.

WI book celebrates Canada 150 The Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario is very pleased to announce their latest publication; this time to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary. The book, Ordinary to Extraordinary: 150 stories as unique as the women who lived them, documents real life experiences of Women’s Institute members. The project started in 2013 when a survey was sent to the 3,000-plus membership for ideas to celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial year. From this, the Real Life Stories project was created, where Women’s Institute (WI) members were encouraged to write a story or poem of their life. From across the province, 350 stories were submitted. The Canada 150 committee read each story and, after much discussion, 150 stories were chosen. The book was officially launched at the provincial conference in late June. “Local WI members are well-represented with three from Balsam Hill-Horton, two from Calabogie, two from Burnstown, one from White Lake and one from Lorne Sutherland,” said Federation of Women’s Institutes of Ontario Canada 150 chair Irene Robillard of McNab/Braeside. “Sadly, two of these members have now passed away.”
There are also a number from North Renfrew District. Robillard chaired the committee to choose and compile the stories and she notes it was published by Burnstown Publishing House. “Locally, the book can be obtained by contacting me at 613-432-6987,” she said. “It would make a great Christmas gift.” Ordinary to Extraordinary: 150 stories as unique as the women who lived them chronicles life in the 20th century from a woman’s point of view. The stories range from a single incident to a full life story; from ordinary life to tragic events; from the horrific to the humor-
ous. There are stories recounting growing up on a farm in the 1900s, with their daily chores, including a poem on picking stones. Who can remember the party line or a shivaree? The fun times are also described; memories of building their own playhouse from scraps of lumber, skating on the frozen pond and dancing the night away at a dance pavilion. Some stories tell of growing up in another country and immigrating to Canada; some with fond memories, others not. There are stories describing meeting the love of their life and anecdotes of married life. Some authors opened their lives to us, telling of tragedies, such as fires and the loss of a child. The book is published by Burnstown Publishing House. Its 300 pages are fully indexed by author and by subject. The price is $25, plus five per cent tax and shipping. Copies can be obtained by contacting a local WI member, the office in Stoney Creek, Ont., at 905662-2691, or ordering online at fwio.on.ca or burnstownpublishing.com. An ebook should be available by the end of October. All proceeds go to the Women’s Institutes for their continued work.

Spotting fake news Did you know Adam Sandler’s car recently broke down in Renfrew and following help from the locals he’s decided to retire here when he’s finished with acting? Yeah, no. A recent “news” story shared countless times on social media indicated exactly that – and it was 100 per cent false. A website called Wky12News posted the story and a quick click on the site name and readers could see this disclaimer: “Wky12.com is a satirical website. Most articles on this website are works of fantasy or satire and are not true. “This website is meant for entertainment purposes only.” This and many other sites are fake, part of a chain of websites that appear to bank on readers clicking on particular versions of the post to generate advertising revenue. The Renfrew Public Library recently hosted ‘The Truth Lies Hidden,’ a panel discussion about finding the facts. Lawyer/mediator/arbitrator Andrew Tremayne, assistant professor/reporter/ author Brett Popplewell, and librarian/ researcher Christopher Stephenson spoke to the public about discerning the hidden truth in today’s society. The ferocity with which the Adam Sandler link was shared underscored the need to educate social media users about fake news. Critical thinking is a key skill in media and information literacy and we must
remain vigilant when it comes to what comes across our screens. So what exactly can you do to spot fake news? The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), the leading international body representing the interests of library and information services and their users, has some useful tips. Firstly, consider the source. Click away from the story to investigate the site, its mission and contact information. Read beyond. Headlines can be outrageous in an effort to get clicks. What’s the whole story. Check the author. Do a quick search on the author, says the IFLA. Are they credible, are they real? Check the date. Reposting old news stories doesn’t mean they’re relevant to current events. Supporting sources? Click on those links. Determine if the information given actually supports the story. Is it a joke? If it is too outlandish, it might be satire. Research the site and author to be sure. Check your biases. Consider if your own beliefs could affect your judgement. Ask the experts. Ask a librarian or consult a fact-checking site. Real news has value. Watering it down with fake news and alternate facts is simply wrong.

‘People person’ Glenn Arthur devoted to community events Continued from page 1
“He’s a people person,” Reid said. “And it’s a testament to him that when he asks for volunteers they show up in big numbers. That aspect is really going to be missed.” Arthur said little during the council chamber ceremony. He made a joke about his frustration over someone booking the Nick Smith Hall on Friday, Dec. 1, the same weekend as a ringette tournament. (A party for him starts at 6 p.m. that night. All are welcome.) Yet the laughter seemed to mask another option. *** In his office at the home away from home a few days later, Arthur said he was caught completely off guard. “It totally blew me away. I wasn’t expecting anything. I get a paycheque every two weeks, that’s enough,” he said. “My dad used to say, whatever you do, make it a hobby.” Arthur has fine memories of growing up in Almonte, high quality schools, playing plenty of sports, gaining a reputation as a solid goaltender. He even worked for the town in the mid-1970s before taking a job in Red Rock, this side of Thunder Bay. Five years or so is generally the lifespan for a recreation director, Arthur explained. So he wasn’t expecting much more when he came south again to take up the position on Labour Day, 1982. “I wondered why the building was closed on Labour Day,” he said. “I understand no programs. But the building was closed; the last day before school; there should be skating.” The doors were open after that. As were the countless experiences over more than three decades that he would recollect. Favourite events: hosting national midget hockey tournaments such as the Esso and Telus Cups; a future Olympic gold medal winning women’s team; world broomball championships; numerous provincial championships. Famous people who came through the doors? NHLers Patrick Roy and Marcel Dionne; Ottawa Senators held a practice; even super model Carol Alt with her hockey player husband Alexei Yashin. “This is pretty big stuff for us. Arnprior is a hockey town,” he said, noting that players stood at the bus door signing autographs until every kid was gone. “They weren’t in a hurry at all.” His favourite was the great Bobby Orr who was scouting Jason Spezza. He teared up recalling the less fortunate lad who got a signed Boston Bruins jersey. Arthur is the first to say, all the successful events in the town that punches far above its weight class would be impossible without a legion of volunteers. It is a common theme among those who talk about Arthur. He is

Retiring recreation director Glenn Arthur will have Dec. 6 named in his honour, along with a rink at Nick Smith Centre. With him are, from left, council members Dan Lynch, Tom Burnette, Lynn Grinstead, Mayor David Reid, Frank Dugal, and Ted Strike. Missing is Walter Stack. in a town with more than the average number of volunteers. But they are also devoted to him. What motivates volunteers and how do you keep them coming back? “You have to listen to them and their ideas,” he said. “You treat them right. You give them something. When TSN was here I wanted a volunteer to do the interview.” Recruiting for specific skills is also important. That makes it easier to defer to their judgment, knowing their experience. He marvelled at the extent Arnprior volunteers go to show their hospitality. Taking a group of athletes into the city for sightseeing? No problem. Babysitting so fans can watch family members on ice? Sure. Chinese athletes want to see the town from a plane? Of course! “We are a small town but we are very together.” He also lavishes praise on service groups in town, saying they go well above and beyond.
“One day it’ll happen. I’d love to see it paved.” One almost wonders if he’d trade in the rink naming to get it done. Arthur is also a well-known champion of defibrillators. After falling to a heart attack during a hockey game in North Bay in 2005, he promoted the devices both locally and nation-
ally. The annual Hockey for Heart tournament held at Nick Smith goes toward installing the devices in more and more buildings. Being saved from a heart attack didn’t result in a profound change. He is big on defibrillators, of course, and wants anyone in old-timers hockey warm up and cool down properly. But
there was “no light at the end of the tunnel” for him. Arthur is a practical person from the Ottawa Valley. He points to tangible accomplishments for reassurance. Take the splash pad at Robert Simpson Park, for example. It was set up on Easter weekend. Guys from Hydro One and the town volunteered their time to make it happen. “We just said let’s get it and get it done,” he said. “So the kids have at it. Now it gets used like crazy.” Another was the time water dripped onto a goalie crease during a national hockey tournament. It was 9:30 p.m. at night, but the problem was solved in short order. He praised recreation staff as a group and individually. And notes that his door — both physical and symbolic — is literally open all the time. “I’ve enjoyed my tenure. There’s always some projects to keep you rolling.” Still, as humble and deflective as he can be, there’s no getting around Dec. 1 is Glenn Arthur Day, and a rink will bear his name. How many people do you know have a rink named after them? “Bert Hall,” he said, pointing to pad A. “And Steve Yzerman. “That’s pretty prestigious.”
••• Arthur also holds the dubious distinction of having worked under seven mayors and many more councillors. He is quick to say there is no future for him in politics. He doesn’t envy their having to make necessary and often unpopular decisions. “Am I going to run? Yes, as quickly as possible in the other direction.” And staff, he said, are often at council chambers looking to spend money on one thing or another. One example is the Nick Smith parking lot. Arthur has asked for many years now to have it paved. On both sides of the table they chuckle at how long it has gone without the money being set aside. Other projects have taken priority. Yet he remains hopeful and continues to sell it. “It’s in the long-range plan. It’s Family surrounds Glenn Arthur during a ceremony in honour of his impending retirement from the municigot a great base by now,” he said. pality of Arnprior.

Official opening of renovated Pakenham library branch set for Nov. 25 ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com
The long-awaited renovations are complete and the Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library (MMPL) is ready for its close up Saturday, Nov. 25. The rejuvenated and expanded space will be shown off on that day between 3 to 5 p.m. with a ribbon cutting scheduled for 3:30 p.m. with local dignitaries. There will be an opportunity to tour the branch and explore the new features. The two floors of the branch are now fully accessible and an additional 1,200 square feet of space has been added to the existing facility. Argue Construction Ltd. handled the construction, while +VG Architects – The Ventin Group Ltd. were the architects behind the new design. The $1 million
project was made possible through a $264,880 grant under the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, with the remainder covered by the Municipality of Mississippi Mills through long-term financing. “The goals of the project were accessibility, expanding and opening the space up to the community for access,” explained MMPL chief librarian/CEO Pam Harris. “That means not just providing room rental, but allowing for more partnering and outreach in the community. This community will shape what they want their library to be.” Those goals have all been addressed in part thanks to a new lift, which is a key-based lock elevator, Harris stated. “It requires assistance to use, but we will be installing a door bell so anyone who needs the lift on either level can ring the bell for assistance.
You couldn’t access all areas of the old branch,” she said. The additional space provides ample room for an expanded children’s area on the second floor, which showcases an activity area and lots of natural light. “We have more things that we will be adding to the area as we acquire more furniture,” Harris said. Upon entering the building, visitors will be greeted by open ceilings and as they travel up the stairs to the main level, a community living room, featuring a fireplace and cozy seating can be found. Computer and laptop hookups are also available. Downstairs, the meeting room spaces can be found, as well as a media room and kitchenette. Harris indicated the library’s collection will be increasing as well, as they had to cut down the numbers to
move into the school’s smaller space. “In this new space, we will add to the collection in response to community input and demand,” she commented. “We also anticipate more circulation since we’re much more front and centre now and I expect we’ll have more patrons as people stop in and see the branch.” Many positive comments have already been made by the community and one story made it all worth it for Harris. “The first day we opened, a little boy came in and he had been watching the project unfold all year. He stopped at the foot of the stairs, looked up and just said, ‘Wow!’ Then he ran up the stairs, plunked himself into a chair and said, ‘Wow, this is better than home!’” she said. “I think that’s how a lot of being are going to respond.”
Library staff moved out of the branch in October 2016 and into the branch’s temporary location in Pakenham Public School. The project broke ground in April and staff made the move back into the space in October, with the branch open for business on Nov. 7. “We had about two weeks to prepare and unpack. Our staff and volunteers worked so hard to get everything ready,” Harris remarked. “There are lots of decisions when putting together a branch and we had an amazing team that was very hardworking,” she added. The Pakenham branch is located at 128 MacFarlane Street. With renovations come amended hours and the library is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1 to 8 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Immerse yourself in holiday spirit during Pakenham Country Christmas Nov. 25 ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com
Get ready to deck the streets of Pakenham in holiday cheer for the annual Pakenham Country Christmas celebration on Saturday, Nov. 25. This is the sixth year for the event,
running 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., which was dreamed up by the Pakenham Business and Tourism Association after the former Jingle Bell Tour ended. It has continually increased in popularity. “I think Pakenham Country Christmas has remained popular as it is a relaxed, friendly atmosphere
with a variety of activities to interest the whole family,” noted Pakenham Country Christmas co-ordinator Christine Whelan. The association doesn’t just co-ordinate Pakenham Country Christmas, but also commits to one project each year within the village, and for 2017,
there’s a focus on recreation. “This year, we plan to put benches along the new multi-purpose trail, which is being developed on the old rail line,” Whelan explained. There are plenty of activities scheduled for the entire family to have a day of old-fashioned fun. Pakenham Public School will once
again be a hub of activity for the day, setting up a craft sale, the ever-popular Girl Guide Christmas Café, letters to Santa and face painting, all taking place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more details and the full schedule of events, search for “Pakenham Country Christmas” on Facebook.

Giving Tuesday is the unofficial kickoff to the holiday charitable giving season. Giving Tuesday aims to capitalize on the holiday spirit of giving.
Nov 28th 2017
Join the movement dedicated to giving back
Make this the year to budget for charitable giving Budgets are an important component of personal financing. Without a thorough understanding of the rate of money going in and out of their bank accounts, people cannot accurately assess their potential for spending and saving. Budgets are also handy for paying off debt and planning for the future. Those who budget may find they have more money to devote to leisure or other worthwhile endeavors, such as donating to charity. Establishing a charity budget makes it possible for people to focus on doing good and helping others. Charitable giving also comes with the beneficial side effect of establishing extra tax deductions for some individuals. Many people only think of charitable giving at the end of the year, when the holiday season tends to inspire philanthropy. However, many people’s end-ofyear finances are already stretched thin thanks to holiday shopping and entertaining. As a result, men and women who wait until the end of the year to donate may not be able to be as charitable as they would like. That’s why focusing on charity as part of a yearly budget can stretch dollars even further.
By examining their finances, people can get a better picture of how much money they have for discretionary spending, including charitable giving. However, income alone may not dictate just how charitable a person can be. To make a charitable giving budget work, consider these tips. • Make a list of charities that have meaning to you. If you do not have specific choices, select categories, such as politics, education and com-
munity, and then go from there. • Assess your giving ability in dollar value. Be sure charitable giving does not come at the expense of necessary daily living. • Divide the available funds against the charities selected. • Set aside specific times of year that you will make the donations so as not to feel burdened at any one time of year. • Leave an emergency fund for do-
nations that cannot be planned, such as disaster relief or to help someone with medical bills. • Sign up for recurring payments for yearly giving to take the work out of remembering to give. Other organizations can distribute donations to the kinds of charities you prefer, making giving even more automatic. Budgeting for charitable giving enables greater year-round control of funds for beneficial purposes.
What is Giving Tuesday?
Designed to serve as the unofficial kickoff to the holiday charitable giving season, Giving Tuesday is celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving in the United States. This year, the date is Nov. 28. While events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become incredibly popular among holiday shoppers looking for great deals on gifts for their loved ones, Giving Tuesday aims to capitalize on the holiday spirit of giving by celebrating philanthropy and promoting charitable giving. Giving Tuesday began in 2012 and was the brainchild of the team at the Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact at New York City’s 92nd Street Y, which has brought people together around the values of service and giving since 1874. Nonprofits, civic organizations, for-profit businesses and corporations, individuals, and families have participated in Giving Tuesday since its inception. In 2015, with the cooperation of donors, volunteers and organizations in 71 countries (including Canada), the Giving Tuesday movement raised nearly $117 million. More information about Giving Tuesday is available at www.GivingTuesday.org.

Junior Packers win both weekend games after letting coach go TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
A coaching change at the top has resulted in two huge victories for the Arnprior Packers of the Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey League. According to Brent Sylvester, general manager for the Packers, former head coach Hamish Fraser was relieved of his duties with the team on Nov. 13. On an interim basis, Kip Mulvihill (who was acting as the assistant coach) will take over the position and Matt Couvrette will take over as the assistant coach. “We have underachieved to this point as a group and in the game of hockey, unfortunately, the head coach usually is the guy that goes,” said Sylvester in an email statement. “Hamish is a good coach and put a lot of time and effort into this team but couldn’t get the boys to play consistently to the expectations he had and we felt that a change Perth’s Nathan MacKechnie and Arnpriors Alexandre Ferraton collide was needed. “The organization and myself wish him the best of luck into the boards in second period action Friday, Nov. 17 in CCHL2 league in the future.” play. The Packers went on to win this one in overtime, 3-2. To start the season the Packers are sporting a 12-11 record good enough for fourth place of the Richardson Division. On Nov. 13, Fraser released the following statement via Twitter: “I want to say thank you to the Arnprior Packers
for the opportunity to continue coaching junior hockey,” said Fraser. “I wish the team and staff the best of luck moving forward. I will certainly miss it but that’s the world of junior hockey!” After falling behind early against the Perth Blue Wings on Friday, Nov. 17, the Packers fought back and won 3-2 in overtime. The Blue Wings were up 2-0 after the first period but the Packers held them off the score sheet after that. At 6:59 of the second, Alex Caparelli scored assisted by Bailey Hein and Davis Goodwin tied it up at 6:14 of the third to force the extra stanza. Ty Power wasted no time securing the victory for the Packers as he scored at 2:30 into overtime. And on Saturday, Nov. 18, the Packers crushed the Char-Lan Rebels 7-2. Both teams came out strong in the first, as it was tied 2-2 after one period with Arnprior goals by Clayton Carter and Hein. Lucas Brown, Mason Farnes and Power (short handed) all scored for Arnprior in the second with Andrew MacKinnon and Hein adding two more in the final frame.

Check out Game of Stones at the Arnprior Curling Club ARNPRIOR CURLING CLUB
The Arnprior Curling Club is encouraging community groups to try curling, dress up, have fun and “prove their stuff.” In celebration of its 150th anniversary, the club has organized a new community tournament, Game of Stones. Based on its popular TV counterpart, the Game of Stones will run over four Saturday mornings: Dec. 2, Jan. 6, Feb 4. and Feb. 28 at the club facility, 15 Galvin St., Arnprior. A round-robin format will ensure teams get to play against a variety of opponents. Think of it as jousting with rocks. The Arnprior Curling Club (ACC) hopes that community ser-
vice groups, businesses, churches and families will submit a team to demonstrate their metal. The McNab & District Celtic Heritage Society “McNab Celts” have already formed their team. Skip Gary Anderson, vice Graham Murray, second Janet Murray and lead Mary Campbell are ready to take on all comers. After all, there are prizes for top team with the most accumulated points and best dressed, so get your “drag-on.” Never curled? No problem. The ACC will provide all the equipment including helmets and sticks for stick curling, if you are nervous on the ice. Just wear something warm and good quality running shoes. Only three of you? Unsure of what to do? No prob-
lem. The ACC can provide you with a coach/ skip, as needed. Meets will run from 10 a.m. to noon. Only six ends. Price is $15/person/game or $200/team for the four-game series. Lunch is included for curlers and is available for spectators
and team supporters for $10. The menu for Dec. 2 includes Celtic pies: Welsh apricot, ales and pork, steak and mushroom as well as Highland chicken and leek in whisky cream with Celtic slaw, assorted tarts, cheese and fruit.

Shouldn’t Hurt raises $10k for charity
Brian Dryden/Metroland
Women’s hockey teams took to the ice at the 32nd annual It Shouldn’t Hurt to be a Child hockey tournament at the Nick Smith Centre on Saturday, Nov. 18. The two-day Canadian Adult Recreational Hockey Association tournament attracted both women’s and men’s teams. Your Rexall pharmacist can vaccinate for SHINGLES.
THIS WEEK’S FEATURE ARNPRIOR HOME HARDWARE
The 32nd anniversary ‘It Shouldn’t Hurt to Be a Child’ hockey tournament in Arnprior on the Nov. 17-18 weekend again helped the Canadian centre for missing children. Organizer Dave McCormick could not give an official number at press time, but tracking of money raised appears to be over $10,000. This number could not be possible without all the participants and especially the sponsors, Herzing College and VIA Rail Canada, along with many local area sponsors such as the Prior Restaurant, Mulvihill Insurance, valley rent rite, McGonigal Construction, Krown Rust Control, Brokerlink Insurance, Reid Bros Motor Sales, parks and rec Arnprior, C3M Environmental, Madawaska Golf, and many others Funds from donations and silent auctions go towards the Victims of Violence Canadian Centre for Missing Children. The weekend event kicked off last Friday with two youth games; Bantam Packers from Arnprior defeated local rival Renfrew, and the U14 Ringette girls from Arnprior defeated Ottawa 4-1. “Kids to adults competed all weekend for what is most important – fun,” said McCormick. The hall was jammed full of enthusiastic hockey players. There were many prizes won through auction and everything was for a great cause. “It’s awesome stuff and sends a strong message that there are a lot of good things happening in this world of ours, although we
continuously hear about the bad.” In the Myers women’s division, local team Arnprior Moose lost out in overtime to the Pontiac Dusters in a close fought battle 3-2. In the Brokerlink Insurance women’s division, Barrs bus lines Pakenham overpowered their opponents winning all three of their games paving the way to the title. Stittsville wins In the Molson Coors men’s division, Open Roads of Stittsville defeated local team Bighorn in the championship final. In other action Danny Mac’s pub, bolstered by the play of MVP Andrew McKay, defeated Pistons of Arnprior in the consolation final Fagans hawks outscored Flagg creek of Morrisburg in the Tomlinson Construction Final, and Town of Arnprior edged out Queensway Carleton Hospital to capture the Via Rail Canada Final The Coasters, a team made of players from a small village island off the coast of the Quebec and Newfoundland border, captured the Herzing College men’s top division with their strong play, outscoring Don Cherry’s of Ottawa 5-2. Plans are already under way for the 33rd annual event in November 2018. “Until then thank you to all who make this happen year after year; especially a great best wishes send off to Glenn Arthur who has been around for all 32 of the events as rec director at the Nick Smith Centre, and it will be very different carrying on without his support. On behalf of the organizing committee and all players best wishes Glenn,” said McCormick.
It is estimated that nearly 1 in 3 people will get shingles in their lifetime. Shingles is a painful, blistering rash that can last several weeks, which can occur at any time, with no warning. For most people, the pain from shingles resolves as the rash heals, but for others, it can last for months or even years. If you’re 50 or over, ask your Rexall pharmacist about the shingles vaccine.

Light Up the Night in Arnprior another huge success The Light Up The Night kids event proved to be a great success this year as crowds of happy kids and parents in costume gathered at the corner of Madawaska and Bell Streets in Arnprior. Organizer Bev Moorhead and more than 30 volunteers from three local churches joined together to provide a safe, fun place for kids to collect candy on Halloween night. A huge outdoor screen displayed Looney Tunes cartoons for all to enjoy. Children were greeted at each game by smiling volunteers who cheered them on as they tested their game skills. Parents were offered free coffee and a chance to enter their kids in a prize draw for gifts that will be delivered to their homes. The activities included a wet sponge toss, pumpkin bowling, ball tosses, hoop throwing, a creepy black light tunnel to crawl through, and a new balloon stomping game. An exciting candy toss at an appointed time had kids and parents scrambling for goodies. The event is sponsored every year by a group of local churches: Gateway church (formerly Arnprior Wesleyan Church), Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church and River Stone Christian Fellowship. The volunteers had a message: “Thanks to all who came and enjoyed the evening with us!” Logan, Piper and Reese Brennan at Light Up the Night.

It is with great sadness that the family of Gerald Morrow announces his passing after a lengthy illness, on Thursday, November 9, 2017, at the age of 78 years. Gerry was a quiet man who loved his family and always ensured everyone was well taken care of. He leaves behind his one true love of almost 61 years, Faye. Gerry was an amazing father to Marie, Michael and Doryann and predeceased by his parents, two infant children, as well as his granddaughters Amanda and Patricia, who were waiting for him at the gates of Heaven. A husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle and friend, Gerald was loved by many. Gerald was an amazing Grampa to 11 grandchildren and great Grampa to 16. Gerry was always whistling. Anyone can attest to this fact. You could always hear him coming, or know where he was just by that distinctive whistling. His favourite of course, was Oh Danny Boy. Gerry was a man of many trades, whether it be fixing cars, house renovations, or jimmy rigging something around the house so that it would work. He was kind, hard working and loving. He will be missed by so many. As per Gerald’s wishes, there will be no wake or funeral. Thanks goes out to the staff and nurses at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital. Your kindness and compassion during Gerry’s last few days got our family through. Special thanks to Lucy, Our family cannot thank you enough for your compassion, kindness and love towards Gerry and our family. You were there for us in ways we can’t explain, and for that, we are so thankful for you. In Lieu of donations, please feel free to make a donation in Gerald’s memory to a cause that is near and dear to your heart. “Your life was a blessing, Your memory a treasure, You are loved beyond words, and missed beyond measure”

PRAYERS PRAYER TO the Blessed Virgin, never to fail! Oh most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven. Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in necessity, Oh Star of the Sea. Help me and show me, here you are “my mother”. Oh Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of heaven and earth. I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to secure me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish it and it will be granted to you. DJ

While you’ve been experiencing “joy unspeakable” in the presence of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the family has grown. Your beloved daughter Kellie-Anne happily married and yes, you’re the grandfather of 5! And uncle to even more nephews and nieces, including 6 lovely young girls adopted from China, 2 of them mine! I’m guessing our very dear mother Barbara Green, who joined you in March 2015, has been filling you in! Your siblings Sue, Myself, Ken, Darren and Deb are all showing our grey hairs now, but it’s my prayer that when God calls each of us home, we shall all embrace again because of this blessed hope in His Word. For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, That whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 Much love, sis Dianne (Green-McNulty)

Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear; Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach, Sweet to remember him who once was here, And who, though absent, is just as dear.

Delegate members of the Northern Credit Union enjoyed spending part of Tuesday morning Oct. 24 with representatives of L’Arche Arnprior at 151 Arthur St. touring their newest home. This home, completed in May of 2013, was the first fully compliant B3 home built in the province. This classification applies to special care facilities built for persons whose cognitive or physical limitations cause them to be unable to evacuate the building in case of fire without the assistance of another person. The cheque for $500 was presented by members of the Northern Credit Union to L’Arche Arnprior representatives following the tour. L’Arche Arnprior would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the Northern Credit Union. L’Arche members benefit greatly from the continued generosity of local businesses like Northern Credit Union. “We continue to be inspired by the daily small thoughtful actions of so many people here in the community of Arnprior. We as an organization are indebted to everyone for the ways in which they provide support and show a caring spirit promoting true social inclusion. A big thank you to all,” said community leader Jeannette Fraser. Next up for L’Arche Arnprior is the annual Gift of Lights sale at Kirkman Bed and Breakfast, 294 John St. North in Arnprior on Saturday, Dec. 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The wares of local vendors are also featured in this gracious old home, which has been beautifully decorated for the season. L’Arche holds its sale at this time of year in celebration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Dec. 3. Organizers invite the community to enjoy this lovely venue, browse the items on offer and find a few things to brighten your holidays!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you might feel like you do not measure up to others this week. How others see you is completely different from your perception. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Don’t underestimate your abilities, Leo. You are imaginative and creative when the mood suits you, as it will this week. Look for your muse and get started.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, letting go is a hard lesson to learn this week. You may have to retire a plan that just can’t come to fruition. But don’t worry, new ideas are in the works.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, stay open to external influences and you may be able to infer some things about the future that can guide you in the days ahead. It’s good to stay ahead of the curve.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, try not to hold onto negative emotions. Focus on all of the happy memories you have made with others and your mood will instantly brighten.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, this is a good week to take stock of the people who mean the most to you. Express your feelings to these people and spend some time with them.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Honesty is the best policy, Cancer. So have that frank conversation with someone even if full disclosure can be a bit uncomfortable. Afterward, you’ll be glad you did.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 A little dose of being naughty might do you some good this week, Scorpio. Call in sick from work and enjoy a day shopping or simply indulging in a little entertainment.

Eaton’s catalogue provides a true sense of wonder It was a mystery to me. How Mother could fill out a form, put it in an envelope, enclose no money, put on a three cent stamp and send it off to the people who sent out Eaton’s catalogue, and within days, the mailman would deliver a package right to our door. It was called a C.O.D. order, and I knew that meant Mother had to come up with whatever the mailman asked for when he left the parcel. Another mystery to me was how Mother knew exactly how much money the mailman wanted. But there it was that day when I came from the Northcote School, sitting on the bake table at the back door ... a big parcel wrapped in heavy brown paper, and tied with cord. Not the string like we got at Briscoe’s General Store, but heavy brownish cord, which would be tied around a piece of cardboard when the parcel was opened and packed away for some future use. I could feel the tingles right down to my toes. Our winter order from Eaton’s had arrived, and it would be opened after supper, only once the dishes had been washed, the table wiped clean, and dried with a flour bag tea towel. Heaven forbid that a spot would get on the parcel that had come all the way from Eaton’s, even before it was

opened We five children could hardly wait. Even though my sister Audrey and I had poured over the catalogue until it was dog-eared, we knew that in the parcel would be only what was completely necessary to get us over the winter. The Christmas toy section, the pages of tin boxes of candy, the pretty dresses ... all frivolities … and certainly wouldn’t be part of Mother’s order. But that didn’t matter ... what Mother unwrapped would be brand new, and that in itself was something to look forward to. Father was the only one who wasn’t sitting around the kitchen table when it came time to open the parcel from Eaton’s. He was at his favourite place at the Findlay Oval with his feet resting on the oven door. Mother was at the head of the table, and we children in the spots we al-

ways used for our meals, and I looked around and every one of us had our fingers interlocked just like we did when we prayed in church. Mother handed Audrey the string, who already had a piece of cardboard ready. And then the parcel was unwrapped and there it was - Mother’s order - all neatly stacked by someone in a far away city who didn’t know us from Adam. There was new combination underwear for Father, long johns for my brothers, and new underpants for Audrey, soft with mauve lines in them, and for me the hateful navy blue fleece lined bloomers. I didn’t mind them when they were brand new, but by the time half the winter was over, they would be faded and ugly as sin from many washings, and soakings from sliding down the little snow-covered hill at the Northcote School. And on the very bottom of the parcel was a neatly folded piece of Dan River cotton … soft coloured plaid with navy blue lines interwoven. Mother would find good use for it. A new house dress, a blouse for Audrey or me? Maybe new aprons. I was sitting beside Mother, and I leaned over and pressed my nose tight against the new material, and then I smelled the new underwear, even Father’s combinations.

And I wondered how everything could come all the way from some big city miles and miles away and still have the smell of newness. And that too was a miracle, I thought. How something could come from so far away, travel by train all the way to Northcote, and still smell so fresh. All I knew about Eaton’s was that they sent us a catalogue twice a year, and whatever Mother needed would be
parceled up and sent all the way out to our farm. A miracle indeed. And I sat in wonder at the kitchen table, awed by the newness of what was spread out before me.

To feed or not to feed, that is the question
Although quiet this year, this Niger feeder was visited by American Goldfinches (right), and Dark-eyed Juncos last year.”
MICHAEL RUNTZ Nature’s Way
Oft-times I am asked whether feeding animals is good or bad. My answer is that it can be either. If mice are purchased from pet stores to entice owls to come closer for photographs, then it is bad. “Baiting” can have negative consequences such as making an owl habituated

so that if it sees humans, it flies toward them to receive a meal. As owls fly low and slowly, cars often hit them when they fly across roads. Pet store mice can contain antibiotics, something foreign to owls. No less important is the fact that releasing a non-native species into the wild is illegal. Especially in earlier years, white-tailed deer were fed to enhance their winter sur-

vival. Since the 1960s deer have gone through a tremendous population increase, one that has resulted in a loss of understory in local forests, frequent vehicular accidents and the proliferation of Lyme-carrying deer ticks (the tick abundance is also due to climate change). Nature has a seemingly cruel way of regulating animal populations: in severe winters many die of starvation. But survivors usually carry better genes and as a result, the population’s vigour is strengthened. By artificially keeping the deer or any other animal population at an elevated level, each year there are more mouths to feed, and the overall health of the population becomes weakened. Usually, however, the question about feeding involves birds. Does feeding make migratory birds stay here for the winter? Do bird feeders make birds dependent on them? The answer to both questions is a qualified “no.” I say “qualified” because birds that lack the migratory instinct or that stray here from another part of the continent are normally doomed. Bird feeders can temporarily sustain those individuals, so they are indeed dependent on them. But as those individuals would inevitably perish without the help of bird feeders, their lives are simply being extended. An Anna’s hummingbird, a west coast species, appeared in Carleton Place in early November and was still present when I dropped by last Friday (Nov. 17). It was alive because it found a hummingbird feeder stocked with sugar-water. Because the water froze at night, the feeder was replaced each morning by a freshly filled one. If that tiny stray, rarely seen in Ontario, hasn’t yet succumbed to the wintry conditions, it likely will in the very near future. If feeders aren’t cleaned regularly, seeds and sugar water can spoil and make birds ill. But they don’t keep birds from migrating. When wild food is plentiful and accessible, some species remain here in large numbers, either ignoring feeders or treating them only as supplementary sources of food. But if wild food is not available, those birds will migrate. This fall, it appears that American Goldfinches have either left or are still finding lots of natural food. Either way, my Niger feeders, like those of many others, sit full and unnoticed. With the cost of Niger seed being so high, this might not be a bad thing! If you feed birds in the Arnprior, Galetta, White Lake or Pakenham area, please let me know, for the Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count is fast approaching. The Nature email is mruntz@start. ca.
