Landowner activist dies at wheel of snow plow
New area councils to take office Dec. 1
News – The community is mourning the sudden death of a local businessman, family man and landowners advocate. Leonard Gerard ‘Len’ Chapeski, 59, of McNab-Braeside passed away at wheel of his snow plow on the afternoon of Nov. 19. Chapeski was a former head of the Renfrew County Landowners Association and ran for deputy mayor of McNab-Braeside in the recent municipal election. He and his wife Bonnie were involved in a dispute with the township over their desire to build a home on their Mr. Dirt property on Russett Drive. Chapeski held a short hunger strike earlier this year to publicize his discontent with township council and was known for his large signs on the property expressing his strongly held views. Chapeski, who owned Len Chapeski Contracting, had been dealing with some health issues recently, but had been active to the end.

Chapeski is survived by his wife Bonnie (nee Vander Ploeg) and children Laura-Lee Westman (Shane) of Constance Bay, Leonard (Melissa Case) of Renfrew, Angela Chapeski of North Bay, Paul (Kimberly Eaton) of Barrhaven, and Daniel (Cassandra) of Borden; and well as six
grandchildren and one great grandchild. Chapeski was waked at the Pilon Family Funeral Home in Arnprior on Sunday with a Legion tribute that evening. For more, see the obituary in the classified pages.

Asphalt plant opponents lose chance to delay Miller Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – A group opposed to an asphalt plant expansion has lost its bid to extend the approval timeline. Members of Friends Addressing Concerns Together in McNab-Braeside (FACT-MB) filled the township council chambers during the Nov. 18 planning meeting. Mark Popiel read from a prepared statement, asking the exiting council to request an extension to the timeline. The provincial government has the final say on applications having to do with asphalt plants. “The new application has new scientific studies, new data and new quarry site plans. All of these need to
be studied by council and the public because everything has changed,” Popiel said. “The old application no longer applies. The new council will not even have been sworn in by the public meeting, Nov. 26; their first planning committee meeting where this can be discussed will only be a few days before the final deadline for comment.” Few are pleased that the company operating the plant, Miller Construction, filed their application - which triggered a 45-day process - when a completely new council is coming in. Despite the shuffle, only exiting Mayor Mary Campbell and Coun. Bob Campbell voted to press the province.

However, the elephant in the study is the vacancy rate. It should be between 4 and 8 per cent. Empty storefronts, a mall that has seen better days: the downward spiral will accelerate if not reversed soon. The answer is not to give landlords a break on taxes, much council’s relief. The town is to play a leadership role, he said, by beautifying the downtown core The town (or chamber of commerce) should also provide businesses with training on customer relations, merchandizing trends, and promotion through social media. He also recommends reconstituting the business improvement area, closed last year for want of board volunteers. Another serious problem is perceptions by area residents. A telephone survey tallied 373 negatives about local shopping versus 203 positives. Staff are friendly, the atmosphere and price are right. But there’s not enough variety, some are unattractive, and there are too few chain stores. Many spend money at Walmart

News – Yes, the retail situation in Arnprior is dire. At 9.4 per cent, the vacancy rate is well above industry standards. And only one of every three consumer dollars is spent locally. But there is room for optimism: the population is growing; emerging business trends offer opportunities; there are plenty of good-paying manufacturing jobs. Or at least that was the message to council from a consultant who presented his study at the Nov. 24 regular meeting. “Don’t take this as negative things to depress you. Take it as positive things you can do to bring about change.” Barry Nabatian, a consultant at Shore-Tanner & Associates, has 30 years experience in helping communities with retail growth. Barrhaven and Westboro in the mid-1990s and Carleton Place more recently; his company has done over 100 retail market demand studies. He was impressed to see Arnprior’s population grow by more than 2 per cent each year for the past five. An economy is doing well if it grows by 1 per cent, he said. And despite the growing trend of empty nesters moving to small town Ontario, Arnprior’s population is getting younger. Still, it would be wise to build small apartments and condos downtown, along with attracting more health-related services to satisfy the coming baby boomers. Arnprior is a middle class town,
he said. At an average household income of $66,287, it is not far off the county’s $70,546, Ontario’s $85,772, or Canada’s $79,102. That means more room for consumer spending, as evidenced by a successful higher end men’s clothing store downtown. The many manufacturing jobs in town pay well, and each creates four other jobs, Nabatian said. “I’ve done studies in many some towns, and I can tell you your manufacturing sector is pretty good.” On the other hand, he recommends mid-priced clothing stores for men, women and children. He also recommends a Target or other discount store, along with a renovated and upgraded Hart department store. In fact many of the existing larger stores – Canadian Tire, Home Hardware – should be upgraded unless Lowe’s or a similar store opens shop. Two shoe stores would fit in. The town could also benefit from three well-established, mid-priced table service restaurants. Montana’s, Kelsey’s and the like would attract more consumer dollars. Some sectors are keeping local dollars in town – namely drug stores, banks, and the many, many beauty salons and spas. “For some reason I can’t understand, you have far too many of these,” Nabatian said, generating chuckles from council. The two supermarkets are only retaining 50 per cent of residents’ spending. They should be at 80 per cent. If one or both doesn’t do an expansion, he said a third store could be supported. And there’s also room for a produce store.

Players won’t be offered room and board, but at least Arnprior will be free to pick players from nearby Carp and Stittsville. The second reason for going Junior A tier 2 involves reducing the upper age limit. For the next two years, 21-yearolds will still be allowed to play (same as the existing Junior B teams). But eventually the league will have only 16-, 17, and 18-year-olds who play a year or two while working toward Junior A. The tier 2 Junior A Packers would “work closely” with Kanata and Ottawa, while Renfrew would groom their players for the Pembroke Lumber Kings. The third reason has to do with marketing the league, making it more professional from a business standpoint. Better web presences, livestreaming games, on and off ice standards will be instituted. Griese repeatedly stated that the term Junior B has a stigma. Players and fans would rather see Junior

Packers goalie Dominic Plaschy readies for a save against Almonte last week. A Junior A team will likely be the new top team in town next year. A hockey, he suggested. DRESSING ROOMS
Part of those higher standards is the need for a new dressing room at the Nick Smith Centre. The Packers have a typical Nick Smith room, but with a few perks: it is painted in the team colours, and each player has their own stall. But it isn’t overly large and a curtain in the hallway separates
them from the visiting team. Plus other teams use it when the Junior Bs aren’t there. Griese is looking to convert the equipment room under the team’s office. Space can be made, but showers would have to be built. Another option may be to shorten the pad B bleacher section to make room for a new dressing room. Glenn Arthur said the latter is unlikely.

ation director said with the Zamboni coming and going in that area, it would be unwise to have players mulling about. As for who would pay for the work? “Every Junior A team wants their own dressing room,” conceded Arthur, who is also a Junior B Packers assistant coach. “That’s not something the town would pay for.” Griese said Mayor David Reid gave him the go-ahead to talk with Ar-
thur about it. He believes that when the new team and league are in business, council and the team owner may have discussions. “Right now we are trying to do this all on our own. Then when we get the product on the ice, then we’ll talk,” Griese said. The Arnprior team has long been competitive, Griese admits. But that has more to do with his team of scouts who get to promising young players early on. They lure them to Arnprior, a rink with stands on both sides, before losing them to a Junior A team. Team owners generally lose about $10,000 a year, he said. They are in it to “give back to the community,” not to make a successful business of it. Between 100 and 200 fans usually attend Junior B Packers games. It is unknown what would happen to the Arnprior Junior B team; maybe drop it down to Junior C. The new Junior A tier 2 team would have the same Packers colours and name.
Sports - Founded by Bob McLellan, Stan Reid and Frank Smith in the late 1950s, the Packers were originally known as the Arnprior Juniors before later being named the Kenwood Rams after the club’s first major sponsor Kenwood Mills. The Packers name came into existence in November 1965 when they were playing in the Central Junior Hockey League. Two years later the Packers would merge into the Ottawa Valley Junior Hockey League, where they have been ever since. The league has since been renamed the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL), but the Packers are still sporting the green, white and gold to this day, representing the town of Arnprior with pride.
The Packers have won four Valley Division Titles with the first coming in 1980, followed by 1995, 1998 and 2012. Also on the Packers list of accomplishments are three Boxing Day championships where they won tournaments in 1981, 1997 and the final tournament ever in 2009. The Boxing Day Tournament has since been replaced by the Fall Classic where all 22 EOJHL member clubs compete in a weekend showcase tournament. The Arnprior Packers pride themselves in being one of the most successful Junior B hockey teams in the league and continue to support the community and those who live and work there. - arnpriorpackers.pointstreaksites. com
Group forms to oppose pipeline conversion
News – A local group forming to resist a planned pipeline conversion through the area has called a Dec. 3 public meeting in Arnprior to discuss the issue. Newly elected McNab-Braeside Coun. Mark MacKenzie is among those who don’t want to see Transcanada Pipelines convert a natural gas pipeline to oil. The pipeline travels down the Upper Ottawa Valley through McNab-Braeside, Horton and Pakenham areas. Called Energy East, the project would see diluted bitumen from the Alberta Oil Sands travel through a 40year-old pipe, under the Madawaska River, to Quebec and New Brunswick where most or all of it will be sold on international markets. “There are no refineries in Canada capable of refining bitumen,” MacKenzie said in an email. “The pipeline should be more aptly named Energy Far East.” He added that in the recent municipal election, awareness began to gather for a serious threat to the security of the natural environment and to our lifestyle. “Over a million barrels of the most toxic goop on the planet will pass right through McNab-Braeside daily if this is approved. Spills along the pipeline are inevitable and if one were to happen here, it would ruin our precious waterways and threaten drinking water possibly forever,” he said. “If you remember the spill in Kalamazoo, they are still trying to clean that up years later. Since bitumen is so thick, much of it will remain in the Kalamazoo River, unrecoverable.” A core of citizens is forming to take action to oppose this pipeline conversion, he added. Everyone is welcome to join. “There is no benefit to this community and unnecessary risk for unimaginable damage to our living space.” The meeting will be held Wednesday, Dec. at 7 p.m. at the Arnprior Library, 21 Madawaska Blvd.

Enjoy a homegrown Christmas
T
he Christmas season in Arnprior and area begins in earnest this Saturday as the Legion brings Santa to town for the annual parade. So it’s timely to remind folks around here that they don’t have to go far afield to celebrate Christmas. They can do it right here at home. Sure, the lights on Parliament Hill are spectacular, the Santa parades in Ottawa may be longer than ours, and the malls in the big city have more glitz and glamour. But really, everything you need to have a joyful Christmas is close at hand and worthy of your support. Santa’s elves from the Legion have been busy trying to ensure you’ll be wowed by annual parade. They are volunteering their time and expertise not for money or fame, but because they are filled with community spirit. The same goes for those putting together floats for the parade. So recognize their efforts by showing up along the parade route at 6 p.m. this Saturday to appreciate their efforts and share in the spirit of the season with them. The same goes when you support other local
Christmas events such as the hospital’s treelighting, church bazaars, service club bake sales, community groups’ Christmas markets, the community choir’s Sing Noel, L’Arche’s Gifts of Lights, the Humane Society’s Pet Pics with Santa, the OPP’s Cram the Cruiser for the food bank, the Free the Children craft sale, Dickens readings at the library and the Galilee Centre, and the Leaps and Bounds, Pineridge and McNab-Braeside firefighters breakfasts with Santa. Not only are you supporting good causes financially, you are providing encouragement for those giving of their time to make our community better. And when you are buying your Christmas gifts, consider patronizing local businesses. After all, they are the ones who help keep the town afloat by paying their taxes and supporting the schools, service clubs, sports teams and other community endeavours that make Arnprior and area such a great place to live. When you buy a present from a local business, you are double gifting. Giving a gift to a friend or a family member is one thing, but it’s extra special when doing so you are giving the meaningful gift of showing faith in your community.

Upgrade Bell Park, but forget about a campground at that site To the Editor: I live on Lena street right next to Bell Park. Having read the Nov.6 article by Derek Dunn where he writes about the best use for Bell Park would be to turn it into a campground compels me to comment on the matter as it affects me directly as a homeowner.
As pointed out in the article, this land was donated by the grandchildren of James and Kathleen Bell for the benefit of the youth of Arnprior 50 years ago. The mayor is quoted as saying: “We need to do more than we are doing at Bell Park.� But nothing has been done.

lunches and dinners, and offer, as the Mayor says, “pontoon rides, canoe and kayak rentals, and similar activities.� None of the above require Bell family approval, provincial or federal approval, nor the approval of the adjoining homeowners who live and pay property taxes right next to the park. It would complement Robert Simpson Park, beautify the point and draw more families, which was the original intent. A campground right next to a high end residential district, really?

Not even in the last four years. He pointed out that the Bell family has already turned down the idea of a park back in the ‘80s, so why are the Chronicle-Guide (editorial board ), Glenn Arthur (parks and recreation director) and the Chamber of Commerce all pushing for a campground, all for something that has already been turned down by the donors. The town has done nothing at the park for years and now the area is overgrown, with dense undergrowth and only used for offshore fishing by some people. It’s a shame that the town doesn’t send in a crew to clear out the dense forest, create a real park, create a few walking paths like at the Grove, put in some park tables for picnic

Township council’s integrity cost them the election To the Editor: I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to Mayor Campbell and her council for all the time and effort that they have put in over the last few years for McNab-Braeside. The changes made and the effort put in to make things open to the public was more than appreciated by most. As one person put it to me, people don’t care about anything past the end of their driveway and I would have liked to believe that it wasn’t true, but I was wrong. For the life of me, I cannot understand why people did not want coun-
cil to stand up for what was right and just. Yes, it only makes sense that we share the Nick Smith Centre and the library, but not at any cost. Renfrew was able to supply numbers for both of their institutions with no trouble. What was wrong with Arnprior? The numbers they gave were not in the least accurate and it didn’t seem to matter. They wanted their money with no accountability. Another thing that was outrageous was the all-candidates meeting. The most important
thing in the municipality right now is the Miller’s situation. People in the area are in peril of losing their water or, at the very least, having it become contaminated. Never mind all the other terrible things that come along with it such as air pollution, loss of wildlife habitat and a very fragile ecological environment. There was only one question on that subject at the meeting! Who was running the meeting and chose the questions … I just wonder. What was more important, playing hockey/ having to pay $15 to go to the library or having
drinking water? At least the outgoing council showed integrity knowing that it may cost them the election and it did. I thank them for it. There is an act in place called MFIPPA (Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act) and I urge people that are interested in what is happening to make use of it. There isn’t much in any municipality that you cannot be privy to by asking. Gail Anderson Braeside
Agenda 21 not to be feared as some suggest long, it isn’t on everyone’s bedside reading list. However, once you start reading, you will find the document more conservative than its critics let on. The section on Maternal and Child Health is incredibly similar to Prime Minister Harper’s position, while the document first spells out the importance of fiscal restraint and responsibility on behalf of government. Redistribution of private property among the less fortunate is not really discussed. Instead Agenda 21 seeks to see the poorer countries be able to help themselves. Nowhere is there mention of appropriating private property, no efforts are made to undermine farmers or forestry workers; in fact the document proposes to help them, to ensure that
the land and resources can be fertile and usable for a long time, and that we always have people to take care of the land, which we need to survive. Mrs. Gallant and other opponents to Agenda 21 perhaps should read the document itself, rather than second hand reports on it, to make informed statements. Mrs. Gallant’s accusation of her opposition’s attempts to destroy rural infrastructure is ironic, considering her recent vote against a motion which would recognize the importance of infrastructure to rural areas (schools, roads, hospitals, pipes, sanitation, electricity). Brendan Edge, McGill student Arnprior
Rural areas tend to support Conservative views
aware of this Liberal tool to control our rural areas. It’s been said that when Canadians go on vacations to other territories they feel free say and do things they wouldn’t say or do when at home. Reporters do the same thing when they invade our rural areas with their propaganda. Judging by the way large city voters choose Liberal leaders, I’m sure they eat up your reporting so wouldn’t it be fair to assume that we rurals would prefer reporting on local and world events by local reporters and editors or does Metroland think that we are just a bunch of rural hicks incapable of putting our own slant on the news? Rural areas are already pushed out of politics by Queen’s Park and we are getting fed up with being pushed out of our local news as well. Ken O’Day, Eganville

To the Editor: Re: ‘Conservatives holding office warn against UN’s Agenda 21 (Chronicle-Guide, Nov. 13). One of the problems we rural folks have is when spoiled city people move here and expect the same coddling they received from unionized public services in the city. Our municipal councils just can’t afford them on top of all the downloads from the province. Perhaps you haven’t noticed but, except for a handful of people, rural folks vote for Conservatives both provincially and federally. We’ve seen the mess the Liberals have made and we are reminded every time we have to buy something or run into another environmental blockade. In spite of your snide report on Agenda 21, we rurals are grateful to our MP Cheryl Gallant and MPP Jack MacLaren for keeping us

To the Editor: Agenda 21 is making headlines again. Critics of the 22-year-old document, like Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant, postulate that implementation of Agenda 21 would be a disaster. Not only would it infringe on our rights to private property, but it would decrease our standard of living, make life harder for farmers, forestry workers, and decimate rural infrastructure. Such a prospect sounds nightmarish, and it would be. Mrs. Gallant is right is stating that most people don’t know what Agenda 21 actually is. A study in 2012 found 85 per cent of Americans don’t know enough about it. Canada would be similar, and since the document is 20 years old and well over 300 pages

To the Editor: This is an open letter to the people and businesses in the town of Arnprior. I am the current Poppy Chairman of Royal Canadian Legion Branch #174 here in Arnprior. As we are all aware of, this year’s poppy campaign took on special meaning, not only to the families of the two heroes who were so cowardly murdered, but to the entire country. Due to this tragedy, poppies went on sale early at some locations throughout Ontario. Our campaign runs officially from the last Friday in October to 24:00 hours on Nov. 11. We decided to follow the guidelines set forth in the poppy manual and start on the appropriate time and date. Let me just say that for a town of Arnprior’s size and population, we exceeded our expectations by a goodly margin. This was largely due to the generosity of the people who purchased poppies or made donations, and the ongoing support of our businesses in Arnprior and McNab-Braeside. For your information: “All funds raised in our Poppy Campaign directly support veterans, serving military and their families.” Your donations help support: • programs and assistance for veterans
and serving military in need, and their families; • medical training and research, and provide community medical appliances to assist in the care of veterans; • housing and care facilities for elderly, disabled, and homeless veterans; • bursaries for children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of veterans; • veterans’ drop-in centres and meals-onwheels programs; • sponsorship of cadet and youth programs. This year thanks to your generosity we will be able to continue to provide support for the veterans who fearlessly fought for our freedom. In closing I would like to add my personal thanks to the executive of our local branch #174 for their support, the many volunteers who gave generously of their time, and to the citizens and businesses of Arnprior and McNab-Braeside. Without your support none of the aforementioned programs would be possible. Thank you.

More needed to combat abuse against women Rosalie Wilcox
Bernadette McCann House
News - An uproar of male laughter and callous comments erupted. “I don’t beat my wife; do you George?” quipped a federal member of parliament, as the NDP member Margaret Mitchell raised the critical need for action on violence against women. Television cameras captured a furious Mitch-
ell’s response: “I do not think this is a laughing matter.” With the recent attention social media has given to the issues regarding violence against women and girls, it begs the question, how far have we come from the echoes of that laughter played out to the nation 32 years ago? On average every six days a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner, half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one
Simple hut can save a cat’s life An old cooler lying around would also make a perfect hut because it is insulated. Put a hole in, fill with straw and cover. It is important for them to have a place away from wind to protect them, so keep the huts sheltered from wind and snow. The Arnprior and District Humane Society has entered an Aviva online contest in hopes of winning grant money to help deal with the cat population and are urging people to vote for them in early December. This is your chance to help. I also know that there are many who will choose to turn their backs and voice their disdain because these felines are not their responsibility so why bother. I see their point and that is their opinion - I just don’t understand the lack of compassion. So please let’s not turn a blind eye and hope this will go away. Let’s try to help. Diane Winsor Arnprior Cat hut instructions: 1. Cut a 6” x 6” doorway in each tub using a box cutter and yardstick a few inches above the ground to prevent flooding. If your area has predators, cut a hole in the front and back of each tub so that there is an escape route. Tip: If you are having trouble cutting the plastic, use a hair dryer to soften the plastic. 2. Cut some of the Styrofoam and line the floor and four interior walls of the exterior tub with it. Leave about a 3” gap between the top of the wall pieces and the upper lip of the tub. 3. Cut out two doorways in
the foam that line up with the tub’s doorway. Tip: It helps to trace an outline on the foam before cutting it. 4. Place the interior tub into the exterior tub. 5. Fill the bottom of the interior tub with straw. Do not use hay, blankets, or folded newspaper as they will freeze and provide no warmth. Also, hay is moist and can become moldy. The cats need something they can burrow in, and straw is the easiest and cheapest material to use. 6. Put the first lid on the interior tub and then cut some Styrofoam to rest on top of the interior\ tub’s lid. 7. Cover the exterior tub with its lid. 8. Optional for more extreme temperatures: Using a Mylar blanket will add extra warmth as it reflects body heat back onto the cat rather than absorb it like regular blankets. You can either line the interior walls of the tub with Mylar blankets or put one at the bottom of the tub in addition to the straw. Mylar blankets are very inexpensive and can be a lifesaver in the extreme cold. 9. Optional: You can also add flaps to the door opening with a piece of vinyl mat. And remember, it is important to regularly change out the straw to keep it fresh and dry. Also, place the shelter away from snow and wind to ensure the most effective and safest shelter. So there you have it! This is a great way to keep outside cats safe and warm in the winter.

To the Editor: I read the recent story ‘Cats in the cold worry Villa Residents’ (Chronicle-Guide, Nov. 20). I know many are concerned and want to help. We have made several and it isn’t very difficult to make. Winter time always plagues me with depression and sadness but not for the reasons many would think. I see too many homeless and abandoned animals in this cold weather and their chance of survival is bleak and threatened because there is no shelter or food. They may have fur, but they are still are at risk of getting frostbite on their paws, ears, tails and it is very painful and it only takes a matter of minutes. For a human to be outside with just a sweater and nothing on their hands, head or feet would be the equivalent. They were tossed out, not fixed and now they suffer while many complain about their population. Surely we know that spaying and neutering will control their numbers, so if it isn’t affordable please keep them inside. I don’t want to lecture about the obvious. Today it is about saving the ones who no one cares about - making a cat hut for the winter months could save their lives. Something as simple as a covered plastic storage bin, with a Styrofoam cooler inside and a hole cut in both and filled with straw will protect them. Do not use hay, blankets or folded newspaper, as they will freeze and provide no warmth. Also, hay is moist and can become moldy - Straw is an insulator, it is cheap and they can bury themselves.

Recognize young stars in your community
News – There are only a couple of days left to nominate a young citizen in your community. Every area has young stars, and while they may not quite have celebrity status, they deserve to be in the spotlight for all they have accomplished. Who are they? They are Ontario’s youth and future leaders. These individuals are working hard to make their community a better place by volunteering for various organizations, making donations, saving lives and maintaining top grade averages. They are everywhere - in your homes, at
school, on the field and at church. If you know someone who deserves a large pat on the back, nominate them by the Nov. 30 deadline for an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award. The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide newspaper strongly supports the program in the Arnprior area, because it supports the growth of the community. The newspaper looks forward to providing recognition for such outstanding young people who continue to be fine examples of leaders in the community. The awards program is co-coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Associa-
&
tion (OCNA), of which the Chronicle-Guide is a member, and sponsored by TD Bank Group and the Insurance Bureau of Canada. The program, which began in 1981, is wholeheartedly supported by the office of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. Any Ontario resident aged six to 17 (must be at least six years but no older than 17 years by Nov. 30) is eligible to be chosen a final recipient of the award. Please help us by nominating an individual in one of five areas: • a person involved in worthwhile community service; • a special young person contributing to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation; • an individual who has performed an act of heroism in the past year; • excellence in achievement, such as the arts or athletics;
• good kids who show a commitment to make life better for others and do more than is normally expected of someone their age. A committee of community newspaper publishers/editors and sponsors will select the award recipients from all nominations received. Up to 12 individuals will be recipients of an award. Recipients and their families are invited to attend the awards ceremony in the spring. The Ontario Junior Citizens of the Year receive a plaque citing their accomplishments, a Junior Citizen of the Year lapel pin and a cash gift. Participating newspapers will present each nominee with a certificate of recognition and showcase their contributions. “Help us pay tribute to our leaders of today and tomorrow.â€? Nomination forms are available at ocna.org/ juniorcitizen or by calling the Chronicle-Guide or the OCNA at 905-639-8720, ext 221.

Special day for young Burnstown author Noah Cunningham is joined by his little sister Bliss Joyce at a Nov. 22 book signing at the Rocky Mountain House in Renfrew. Noah, 12, wrote and illustrated ‘It’s Nice to See a Light and the Shoes,’ a story about two detectives and a dog who set out to save the planet and their town’s superhero. With often quirky, off-the-wall humour, Cunningham has his heroes take on corporate villains, who if allowed to do their dastardly deeds, will not only own hydro power but the water, too, taking it for their own profit. The fictional 50-page story, for children between the ages of 9 and 13, is a serious reflection on today’s ever increasing resource extraction in this book published by the Upper Ottawa Valley’s General Store Publishing House.

To feed or not to feed, that is the question Lifestyle - The recent blast of northern air created a wintry landscape. Open water received a coffin lid of ice, and the ground, a coat of white. With the transformation came changes. Chipmunks no longer scamper about, and flocks of waterfowl that recently punctuated sunsets have vanished. But there is one exception to this scenario: backyard feeders have come alive. Each year I am asked about the wisdom of feeding birds. Do birds depend on birdfeeders, and do they starve if the feeders go empty? The answer is a qualified: “No.” I say qualified because in the majority of cases, there is little effect on birds. Most birdfeeder visitors are seedeating finches and sparrows that find food elsewhere. This year American Goldfinches, now dressed in casual winter attire of olive and green, are visiting many feeders, especially those stocked with nyger seed, which is nearly as expensive as gold. These little finches are present some winters and absent in others; their presence depends on natural seed crops of trees like White Birch. If seed crops are poor, goldfinches move farther south. For other finches such as
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way Common Redpolls, their presence here depends on seed crops farther north. If birch and alders have huge crops, these little redcapped birds of the north don’t come south. As some redpolls are trickling in now, this could be a reasonable winter for enjoying their company. Other regular visitors such as Dark-eyed Juncos (“Tuxedo Birds”) are here in larger numbers when their natural foods are present. In winters when deep snow makes it hard to access seeds on the ground, these well-dressed sparrows move farther south. But feeding the aforementioned birds has little bearing on their survival, for they follow the cycles of their natural foods. However, there are
some birds that depend heavily on our handouts; one is the Northern Cardinal. These stunning birds appeared in Canada a little more than a century ago, and moved into our area only about 50 years ago. They came north following the trail of birdfeeders that sprang up in urban centres throughout Ontario. Cardinals depend more heavily on birdfeeders than do most birds, but will find new locations if their usual haunts go seedless. In fact, most have a daily route that includes several birdfeeders. Are there any negative aspects to feeding birds? Sure. If birdfeeders are not cleaned regularly, seeds go mouldy and droppings accumulate, allowing certain diseases like salmonella to spread through flocks of birds. If feeders are too close to houses, birds sometimes fly into windows. And in urban centres, domestic cats kill an inordinate number of birds they catch feeding on the ground under birdfeeders. So the verdict is? I say: “keep on feeding!” But keep your feeders clean and bird proof your windows ((you can decorate windows to show birds they are present). The joy of seeing wild birds visit your backyard is well worth the price of seeds.

Ottawa River caves to be bought by Nature Conservancy
News – Did you know that Ottawa River Valley is home to the longest underwater cave system in Canada? Beneath the surface of the Ottawa River lies a subterranean wonderland seldom seen by the human eye – the Ottawa River Caves. The labyrinth measures more than 10 kilometres in length under several islands throughout the Ottawa River, and includes a four-kilometre section on the Ontario side of the river known as the Gervais Caves. The Nature Conservancy of Canada is currently in negotiations to buy a 75-acre (30-hectare) shoreline parcel that contains most of the entrances to the Ontario portion of this remarkable series of caves in the Westmeath area up river from Arnprior. A not-for-profit land conservation organization, the Nature Conservancy of Canada, owners of the Gillies Grove, must raise the final $87,000 for this project by Jan. 5, and it is
asking for the help of people, corporations and foundations to meet this goal. The most important features of the property are the karst landscape and sinkholes associated with the Gervais property. Karst landforms are an important variant of landforms created by flowing water. Water is routed underground via solutional cave systems instead of flowing at the surface in normal river channels. At least 13 of these sinkholes are connected to the Ottawa River through this extensive network of underwater caverns. Fish such as sturgeon, walleye and smallmouth bass can be found hiding in the nooks of the caves. Above ground, the Gervais property is just as impressive. This site is full of life – home to over 135 native vascular plant species and a number of at-risk plant species, including the endangered but-
ternut tree, the provincially-rare Hooker’s orchid, regionally-rare moonseed and Hitchcock’s sedge. The mature forest features exceptionally large examples of Eastern white cedar, including two trees over 90 centimetres in diameter that are many centuries old. The Ottawa River supports a rich diversity of freshwater mussels and at least 13 species of mussels have been recorded in this area. Freshwater mussels filter bacteria, microscopic algae and organic material contained in the water, which improves water quality and contributes to the aquatic ecosystem. The endangered and rare hickorynut freshwater mussel can be found in the Ottawa River and in order to filter food and consume nutrients, mussel larvae must attach to a fish, called a host. Hickorynuts attach to lake sturgeon to consume their nutrients from the fish’s body until they transform

into juvenile mussels and fall off. “Our conservation work is driven by leading edge science that helps us identify the most important places in Canada for protection. The Gervais property in Ottawa Valley is one of these places worth conserving,” said Nature Conservancy of Canada Ontario regional vice-president James Duncan. “By investing in conservation we are ensuring that our natural world remains a home for wildlife, a haven

Valley caves ‘longest underwater caves in Canada’: diver Continued from page 17
Brunton conducted site assessments of the Gervais property as an independent ecological consultant. “We spent a total of 752 hours underwater surveying the caves. There is no question the Ottawa Valley caves are the longest underwater caves in Canada (so far), but they are also significant Canadian caves in their own right,” said Dr. David Sawatzky, a retired Canadian Armed Forces lieutenant-colonel, doctor, diver and expert on cave diving, who spent over 15 years mapping the Ottawa River caves.
Ecologists say the caves are the highest priority conservation property in the Ottawa River Valley representing nationally significant earth and life science features, as the property supports nationally and provincially designated species at risk and regionally significant vegetation and flora. Since 1962 the Nature Conservancy of Canada and its partners have helped to protect more than 2.7 million acres (over 1.1 million hectares) coast to coast, including 178,000 acres (72,034 hectares) in Ontario.

Mayor elect Tom Peckett vows to fight expansion at OMB Continued from page 5
Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie, and councillors Aldene Styles and Brad McIlquaham voted to let the new council make the request themselves. Incoming Mayor Tom Peckett isn’t as worried about a time crunch as FACT-MB. He is confident the new council will have time to carefully examine the application. “It would have been nice to have a little more time, but I think we can manage,” Peckett said. He plans to be more stridently
opposed to the expansion than the last mayor and council. Peckett has never been a member of FACT-MB but agrees with their efforts to halt the plant altogether. “I’m against an asphalt plant in that location. And I’m going to fight against that asphalt plant every step of the way,” he said. “It’s too dangerous of a location.” Not only are nearby property owners affected, he said, but all residents of the township would collectively be on the hook for millions of dollars for a new municipal water sys-

tem in Braeside if the groundwater became contaminated. All members of the new council indicated their opposition to Miller’s proposal. And there seems little fuss over spending the tens of thousands – perhaps as much as $150,000 – it will take to fight the multi-national corporation at the Ontario Municipal
Board (OMB). Peckett said the exiting council set aside money for the March 2015 OMB hearing. “It’s a fight the township must win,” Peckett said, adding the OMB responds to mounting opposition. “The more people who step up and speak out against this the better.”

Brazen home invasions becoming a more common problem in the Ottawa Valley Staff
News - Police are seeking the public’s help following the latest home invasion in the Upper Ottawa Valley. OPP report that on the night of Nov. 20, two men entered a home on Dominion Street in Renfrew and assaulted the elderly homeowner. Police say the unknown suspects entered the home through a side door, threatened and assaulted the resident and fled with an undisclosed quantity of cash. Officers of the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to
the call at about 8:20 p.m. The OPP Canine Unit attended but was unable to locate the suspects. The first suspect is described as a white male, 5’6” to 5’7” tall and 30 to 40 years old with a heavy build. He spoke very clear English with French accent and wore a dark coat, dark pants, no gloves, a dark grey or black balaclava covering entire head with the exception of eye/nose area, and prescription glasses. He had a mole along the side of the upper part of his nose Police say the second suspect was white male (quite pale), average build, average

OPP seek downtown exhibitionist News – Arnprior OPP officers responded to a business on John Street in the downtown on Wednesday, Nov. 19 after reports a man had exposed himself to a customer. The act was said to have taken place in the foyer at the business. Police were unable to locate the male and no suspect description was provided. TOOLS STOLEN
R0013022596
A shed on a property on Burnstown Road in White Lake was entered on Sunday, Nov. 23. Stolen property included a chainsaw, a chain, two axes, a toolbox, and a gas can and gas. OPP Constable Ken Rusaw is investigating. A garage on McLachlin Road in McNabBraeside was broken into on Sunday, Nov. 16. No damage was done and nothing was stolen. OPP Const. Erin Densmore is investigating. Two sets of tires on rims and a plow light
were stolen from a home in Horton. The theft occurred in the summer and was recently discovered. RIDE CHECKS
Local OPP remind motorists that Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) spot checks will be seen frequently on area roads and highways in the next six weeks. Dubbed Festive RIDE as the holiday season is generally a festive time of year, the road stops are a way for the OPP to visually remind motorists to always choose to drive sober. “If you are going to be drinking, plan ahead and make arrangements so you are not put in a position where you may be tempted to drive after consuming alcohol,” advise the OPP. Festive RIDE spot checks are being conducted frequently between Nov. 24 and Jan. 2. “Expect to see one and make the smart choice, drive sober,” urge police. Several fraud attempts were made last
week, including people pretending to have property for rent, someone purported to represent a legitimate business, and a person noticing cash fraudulently removed from their bank account after a trip to the U.S., report OPP. “Do not give anyone your personal information unless you know the person you are dealing with and trust them. Be very careful about sending money through money transfer companies,” advise police. “Ask friends for references and deal with reputable local companies.” Learn more ways to protect yourself at the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, by calling 1-888-495-8501 or online at www.antifraudcentre.ca. DOMESTIC DISPUTES
Renfrew OPP officers responded to seven domestic disputes last week. One woman was charged with assault, while another female was charged with assault, domestic mischief and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Sexual assault victims urged to speak out The Renfrew County Sexual Assault and Rape Crisis Support Centre has been approved for $151,066 in funding in response to the call for projects from the federal government’s call for proposals for Cyber and Sexual Violence: Helping Communities Respond. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, in bringing news of the grant to the support centre staff, said violence against women crosses all boundaries, regardless of age, occupation, religion or socio-economic status. She said cyber bullying is real. “ I encourage anyone in our community who is a victim of cyber bullying or knows someone who is being victimized to please step forward.” She congratulated the local support centre and noted Renfrew County is the only rural community in Ontario to successfully receive funding. The two-year project, which runs until March 2016, will assess the variant needs of Renfrew County Women with a key starting activity of strengthening community partnerships among diverse service providers. After consultations, an action plan will follow. With Gallant above are, from left, Catherine Bromell, Bev Retza, Julie Lalonde, (project co-ordinator), Joanne Brooks (centre executive director); Gallant, Jean Maves and Jacenthe Payant.

MPP Yakabuski tries again with ‘clear snow from cars’ bill News – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski want to stop drivers from venturing out without cleaning off their vehicle windows/ Last week in the Ontario Legislature, Yakabuski re-introduced his Private Members’ Bill intended to make Ontario’s roads safer during the winter months. The Bill addresses the problem of snow and ice dislodging from moving vehicles, potentially resulting in personal injury and property damage. With winter approaching, the objective of safer roadways during the coldest months becomes more relevant with each passing day, Yakabuski notes. “I first introduced this Bill earlier in the year after hearing from a constituent named Gord Stickles,” he explained. “His minivan was struck last winter by a sheet of ice up to five inches thick and 53 feet long coming off a tractor trailer” added Yakabuski. “My hope last spring was that this Bill could
have been debated in the House, but the subsequent election meant it died on the Order Paper.” Presently there are no requirements in the Highway Traffic Act compelling drivers to clean off their vehicles. If passed, the Bill would do just that by giving police officers the tools to fine drivers who do not comply with this “minimum safety requirement.” As when this Bill was originally before the House, Yakabuski hopes to secure all-party support in order to expedite its passage. “As I said to the previous Transportation Minister last spring, if Minister Del Duca wants to make this a piece of government legislation he is more than welcome to do so” said Yakabuski. “This is not a political matter for me. This is an issue of public safety. “If it can become law more quickly as a government Bill, it means that the province’s drivers will be safer during the winter months when they head out on the road.”

Community – This has been a year in the L’Arche Arnprior community during which our founding core member, Ian, and three other long term members - Mark, Rita and Bob - have all had cataract surgery. Experiencing this process with one another is enlightening indeed. As the cataracts grow, the individual’s vision minimizes very significantly, until the spectrum they are able to see is minimal. Then after living for a period of time with this compromised vision, the individual has this modern amazing surgery that removes the cataracts so that the person is able to see fully and see a very broad spectrum, to see things anew. The Advent season along with the Christmas story has a parallel journey of waiting and seeing. The invitation is there to wait, to reflect through the Advent season, and then to celebrate the Christmas story. I wonder if we can see it in a new light, if we can reflect in a new way how the season invites us to see anew and to start fresh in the relationships around us and the mission that each of us has in this world. Blessings to you, and I pray that the season offers that opportunity for “new vision” with this blessed season in your life.

Specialty hunting, fishing store planned for region
News - Cabela’s, which calls itself the world’s foremost outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, announced last week that it plans to open a store in Kanata. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2015, and Cabela’s plans to open the store in the spring of 2016. The 70,000-square-foot store will be located near the intersection of Palladium Drive and Highway 417. It will anchor the newly planned Kanata West Centre, which is being developed by Taggart Realty Management. The store will be Cabela’s second location in Ontario, joining the 70,000-square-foot Barrie location opened in July. Cabela’s expects to hire about 175 full-time and part-time employees, most of whom will come from Ottawa and the surrounding area. “Cabela’s has experienced great success in Canada, and we’re absolutely thrilled to continue our Canadian expansion with an Ottawa location,” said Cabela’s CEO Tommy Millner. “What better way to show Cabela’s commitment to serving our loyal Canadian customers than bringing a store to the nation’s capital.” The store will be built in Cabela’s new-format Canadian layout, designed to surround customers in an outdoor-like experience with a large mountain replica and museum-quality wildlife displays.
In addition to thousands of quality outdoor products, the store will include an indoor archery range and archery tech room, gun library, bargain cave and fudge shop. Cabela’s stores showcase thousands of products, including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, boating and wildlife-watching gear, as well as clothing and outdoor-themed gifts and furnishings. The company is known for its strong brand and reputation for quality merchandise and customer service. Additionally, the store’s staff will host educational seminars and demonstrations throughout the year, offering tips and insight on outdoor products and activities. Cabela’s Canada was established in 2007 with a store and headquarters for Canadian operations in Winnipeg. In 2010, Cabela’s Canada opened its current corporate headquarters and call centre in Winnipeg. Cabela’s currently operates 64 stores across North America, including seven in Canada in Winnipeg Saskatoon, Regina, Barrie, Nanaimo and two in Edmonton. The company, which is headquartered in Sidney, Nebraska, has announced plans to open an additional 19 stores during the next two years, including locations in Moncton next summer and Calgary in fall 2015.
Bass Pro Shops coming to Kanata Staff
News – Bass Pros Shops will open its fifth Canadian store in Kanata in 2015. The 120,000-square-foot outdoor retail store, which specializes in hunting, fishing, camping and other outdoor recreation gear, will be built at Highway 417 and Huntmar Drive, across from the Canadian Tire Centre. “We couldn’t be more proud to announce that our fifth Canadian Bass Pro Shops store will be located in Kanata,” said Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops. “The location is both high-profile and accessible, which will allow us to bring Bass Pro Shops’ low prices and friendly, expert service to better serve the area’s many sportsmen and women as well as those visiting Ottawa.” The store will serve as an anchor to the Broccolini-Laurentide development. “It’s great news that this unique store is planning to come to Ottawa’s west end, which would provide a range of products for outdoor enthu-

Almonte goalie Matt Dods had his hands full in Arnprior last week. His team opened the scoring, but the Packers stormed back with five goals - from Luc Deschamps, two by Chris Deschamps, Dallas Farr and Isaac Perreault. Shots were 36-21 in Arnprior’s favour. It wasn’t much better in the second half of the home-and-home for the Thunder. Arnprior’s DEREK DUNN/METROLAND Robert Darnowski opened the scoring. After the game was tied by Blair Barr’s marker, the Packers went up by two in the second, thanks to John McLean tally and Robert Darnowski’s second.

Sports – Arnprior based team Bighorn was one of the main winners of the It Shouldn’t Hurt to be a Child hockey tournament on the weekend at the Nick Smith Centre. But the big winner was the Victims of Violence organization which came out ahead by close to $20,000 after the three-day tournament and related activities. It was a “wonderful weekend” with a record 55 teams, said organizer Dave McCormick. Of the participating teams, 30 of them were made up of youth ages 7-14. All kids teams played two games and “all came out as winners,” said McCormick. Quite a variety of age groups participated in the tournament, “which was pretty neat,” he said. Included were sevenyear-olds and player from the Renfrew Millionaires team, M.J. Blimkie, who is 77. Teams were from Arnprior, Carleton Place, Cumberland, Stittsville, Nepean, many other parts of Ottawa, and as far as way Northern Quebec. There should have been a special award for MJ as he held his own and his team won the Herzing College Division. Bighorn captured the Molson Canadian Division title, defeating Shawville Gutters 4-2 in the final. In the Tomlinson Group Final, Ottawa Nepean Sports Club defeated Final Pass of Ottawa 5-0 The Brokerlink Insurance Division Champs were Cianni Rockslingers of Ottawa. They

The Antrim Truck Centre Division winner was the City of Ottawa, which defeated OV Hitmen 3-1. In the ladies Division, The Pickle Vixens from Ottawa came out in first place in the Mulvihill Insurance preliminary round, then went on to defeat The Lady Thunderbirds of Golden Lake in the Molson Coors Ladies final championship game 3-1. In the Prior Sport Bar Division, Open Roads of Stittsville came out victorious and the Herzing College Division winner was the Renfrew Millionaires. The tournament opened with special ceremonies last Friday evening. Games kicked off Friday at 6 p.m. and ended Sunday at 7 p.m. McCormick noted that efforts are underway to calculate how much was raised, “but at this time it looks like we did better than ever.”
He said proceeds in the range of $15,000 or $16,000 will go to Victims of Violence’s It Shouldn’t Hurt to be a Child program. McCormick and his wife Sylvie issued a thank you to all who attended, participated and helped out over the weekend. “A special thank you to Glenn Arthur and his staff that did an A1 job in keeping the facility in good order all weekend,” said the McCormicks. They also issued a very special thank you to the tournament’s major sponsor Herzing College and all the sponsors, far too many to mention, but all know who they are. This event would not be possible without the support from companies such Giant Tiger, Kelly Huibers McNeely, Brokerlink Insurance, Reid Bros Motor Sales, CM3 Environmental and Myers Auto group, to name a few, they added. “Thank you everyone. See you in 2015 for the 30th annual tournament.”

Arnprior first in the third period at the seven-minute mark, keeping the Packers’ momentum going. But Osgoode kept skating hard and creating opportunities until they scored at the 9:16 mark of the third period. Arnprior responded with a goal from Boden Zvonarich at the 13:23 mark of the third, making it 5-2 for Arnprior. Osgoode Rideau was determined to make a game of it and scored with about six minutes left to make it 5 to 3. Osgoode pulled their goalie with two minutes remaining and scored again with 38 seconds remaining. That last 38 seconds seemed like an eternity for the Juvenile Packers, but they hung on to win 5-4. The Juvenile Packers next home game is this Saturday, Nov. 29 at 8:30 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre.

Runners start out at last year’s Solstice Run/Walk
R0013018349_1127
Sports - Staff and volunteers of Galilee Centre in Arnprior invite the public to join them in the third annual Solstice Run and Walk Friday, Dec. 19 at 6 p.m. The event not only raises funds for Galilee Retreat Centre but also collects staples for the Arnprior and District Food Bank. The Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere marks the longest hours of dark in the year. Yet from this day, comes the return of the light. This has been celebrated for thousands of years at the pyramids of Egypt and Peru, the monuments of Stonehenge, the Great Zimbabwe in Africa, and the Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. It is in the spirit of this ancient tradition that Galilee Centre holds this event. Here is the way it works: at 6 p.m. on Dec. 19, runners and walkers will gather at the entrance of the Galilee Centre (398 John St. North). Participants are encouraged to decorate themselves in flashing Christmas lights and seasonal bling. There is a 5-km run and a 2.5-km walk. Eager residents will stand on their front steps and wave and cheer as it is a special event when the Christmas lights come to them. Many runs have water stations, but this run has a hot

All welcome at Celtic society’s medieval feast Gather this Sunday, Nov. 30 at the Arnprior Legion Rose MacLaren
Celtic Heritage Society
R0013013253
Community – Ah the date of the great medieval feast in this area is fast approaching. To all in the community and beyond who enjoy pageantry and an historical style of entertainment, as well as the fun of eating with your fingers and not getting your knuckles slapped for bad manners, then this is the evening for you. This year, the McNab and District Celtic Heritage Society is serving up seven courses of delicious medieval style food on bread trenchers that you can eat at the end of the meal. As you are eating each course, you will be entertained by our court jester, minstrels, mummers, a piper and a bard. Organizers worked extra hard to find three witches who were willing to cast their magic spell on the evening to ensure your enjoyment. At the end of the evening, we will close with the singing of Auld Lang Syne, written by the Scottish poet Robbie
Burns, in the traditional manner. The 1711-printed version of the song soon became a Scottish tradition to sing for the New Year, and this tradition quickly spread to England and Ireland, and then came with Scottish, English and Irish immigrants to America. It soon became a must song at the closing of many celebrations in North America. The traditional way to sing the song is to stand in a circle, hold hands, and at the beginning of the last verse, to cross your arms across your chest and join hands that way. This practice represents the message of the lyrics and spirit of the song to stay connected to those around you. This is a perfect opportunity for you to treat your fancy and whims to their very own medieval feast. As we did last year, Brechin castle’s ‘servants’ will set up their tables in a horseshoe style for ease of conversation and viewing the entertainment. This magical evening is sponsored by the area’s McNab

News - Two graduates of the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board (RCCDSB) recently received Catholic Student Awards from the Catholic Education Foundation of Ontario (CEFO) at an awards dinner in Toronto. Mitchel Schroeder, who graduated from Bishop Smith Catholic High School last June, and Sarah McGrath, a graduate of St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, each received the CEFO’s 2014 award at the 31st annual Father Patrick Fogarty Awards Dinner Oct. 25. The Catholic Student Awards were created by the CEFO to recognize and celebrate the excellence and accomplishments of young Catholic men and women. The awards also pay tribute to the positive influence, inspiration and works of Catholic teachers, chaplains, school administrators and parents. Award selection is based on a student’s scholarship, volunteer work and community involvement, as well as for conduct that models Catholic values. Schroeder, who now attends Algonquin College in Pembroke, as well as running a lawncare business, says that Bishop Smith taught him to be thankful for many things, including his Catholic education and the teachers at BSCHS. “What I learned from my time at BSCHS is that I will never stop being grateful for my life. I love my life. I think that I do have a purpose. I do make a difference. My many pro-life trips to Ottawa reminded me that I am thankful to be here,” he added. McGrath, who now attends Algonquin in Ottawa, gets similar praise from St. Joseph’s
principal Brennan Trainor. “Sarah was active on the St. Joseph’s High School pastoral team as well as on the Dominican Republic Experience Team of 2013,” Trainor says. “She is a kind and caring student who recognized that all students have their own special gifts to share with each other. She was never judgmental of other students and was considered to be a role model by many staff members.” “Accepting an award as prestigious as this is such an honour, and I am very humbled by the fact that St. Joseph’s Catholic High School chose me to be its recipient,” said McGrath. “All through my high school career I worked hard, and participated in as many ways as I was able to help my school,” she added. She noted that meeting the other recipients of the award in Toronto was also an honour. “Among them was my fellow Dominican Republic Experience team member, Mitchel Schroeder, and it was great to see another recipient as deserving as he is.” Board chair Bob Michaud congratulated both Schroeder and McGrath on their awards. “These two young people exemplify the goals of RCCDSB. We work to instill Catholic values in our students and foster a world view shaped by the Catholic conversation about life’s meaning and purpose,” he said. “We teach our students to respect the dignity of others, to share their gifts with the community, and to cherish the environment and all life in it. We are all proud of these graduates of our board.”

time. Mother and I carried the big brown paper bags out to the buggy. It seemed to me she had bought everything in the ad that filled a full page in the Renfrew Mercury. She lined everything up in rows, and to make sure she hadn’t been cheated, which was highly unlikely, as she stroked each item off her long list. There were two of everything. There were the two green tins of tooth powder. Tooth powder was a real treat ... we usually used baking soda, which I hated with a passion. Everything was in either a green tin, a green box, or a green paper bag. That seemed to be the colour of the Rexall One Cent Sale. The exception was the little stack of foolscap pads. They were bright pink, and I knew who they would be for. My brother Emerson would lay claim to them! Emerson spent hours drawing pictures of glass buildings, houses that were made of glass cubes. We thought him pretty strange, but Mother thought he was a genius and would grow up to be someone famous. So the pink pads were for him. There were green bottles of cough medicine, pain pills, even liniment for the horses. All in twos: full price for one, and the second for a cent! The kitchen table was a sea of green when Mother got everything laid out in rows. And then she took her change purse out and sorted the few coins that were left. It had been a good day. Not only had she bought all the necessities to see us through the long winter ahead, she had money left over to put back into the egg-money sugar bowl in the cupboard. It had indeed been a good day. And I still smelled of Evening in Paris to boot! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Lifestyle - Mother had counted her egg money at least four times! It sat all night in little mounds at the end of the kitchen table, just where she had left it when we had gone to bed. Beside it was a sheet of white paper, and the full-page ad out of the Renfrew Mercury. Mother’s list was long, and although there wasn’t a thing on it that caused me the least bit of excitement, what did get me all in a state of anticipation, was the fact that we would be going into Renfrew to Ritza’s Drug Store, where I could browse the perfume counter and use the little sample dip-stick to dab on a bit of Evening in Paris, my very favourite. It was the Rexall One Cent Sale, which happened twice a year, and now it was late in the Fall, and the Renfrew Mercury showed a full page of everything from tooth powder, to rubbing alcohol, to something called “pills for pale people” ... these were not the same as Lydia Pinkham’s Pink Pills for Pale People, according to my older sister Audrey. No everything on the one-cent sale had to bear the label ‘“Rexall’. And it was my sister Audrey, so much smarter than I was, who explained how the sale worked. She told me in the simplest of terms. If you bought something that cost a dollar, you got another of the exact same thing for a cent, so you would end up with two, for a dollar and one cent. No wonder Mother was making a list as long as your arm! Just to be sure Mother had enough money to cover all the things on her list, she had Everett slaughter four good fat chickens, and gather a couple dozen eggs, all of which she would peddle off to her good customers in Renfrew before we hit the drug store. Ritza’s Drug Store was packed to the gunnies by the time we got there, and with her change purse bulging from her egg money, and what she was able to scrounge from selling the few chickens and eggs, Mother was ready to do business. There was Aunt Bertha, Mrs. Beam, Cecil’s mother Mrs. Briscoe, and even Miss Crosby my teacher at the Northcote School, all taking advantage of this wondrous of bargains. I purposely didn’t watch what Mother was buying. It was far more exciting to see her unpack it on the kitchen table when we got home, when I was looking at it for the first

Franken, Zander in top three in regional Toastmasters contest Fran Watson
Toastmasters
Community - Toastmasters opened the doors at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew to Toastmasters from Ottawa and the Valley as they hosted the Division B humorous speech and evaluation contests Saturday, Oct. 20. The contestants were the winners from their area competitions, which had been held during the previous month. In the humourous speech contest, McNab-Braeside’s Tracy Franken of Renfrew Toastmasters was first, Anthony Renaud of IBM Palladium Toastmasters of Ottawa second and Sylvie Boisvert of Quebec third. Sandra Gloss of Kanata Toastmasters was first in the evaluation contest, with Andrew Cai of Westboro Toastmasters second and Arnprior’s Lynne Zander of Valley Vintage Advanced Toastmasters third. In order to compete at this level, each contestant had begun at their club level, then the area and division levels. The winners from this contest proceeded to the district level at the fall conference in Mont Sainte-Anne Nov. 7 to 9.
Franken competed at the district level for the second year in a row. It has been 90 years since Ralph Smedley opened the doors to the first Toastmaster meeting in Santa Ana, Calif. The initial meeting of about 20 men marked the birth of the organization we know today. Membership now exceeds 313,000, spread among more than 14,650 clubs in 126 countries. “The unprepared speaker has the right to be afraid,” said Dr. Smedley, which is why Toastmasters teaches the art of preparation. He believed that speaking success is a means, not an end and that improving skills leads to other gains in life (Toastmasters magazine). “In Toastmasters clubs, as in all other worthy enterprises, we find that progress leads to further progress. Understanding leads to the revealing of new ideas to be understood and used.” People join Toastmasters clubs for various reasons: prepare themselves for an executive role in another club, be a better sales person, obtain a promotion at work, develop their confidence in dealing with people in a group situation, do better in an interview or to ace their next presen-

als developing specific skills. For instance, in the competent communicator manual they learn how to organize a speech, get to the point, use vocal variety and body language, learn how to research a topic, work with visual aids, persuade with power, and finally inspiring an audience. From here, Toastmasters go on to advanced manuals in an area of their choice such as public relations, speaking on television or video, emcee and more. In the leadership manual, Toastmasters are evaluated on the roles they take on in a meeting such as Toastmaster, Table Topics Master, Grammarian, Speech Evaluator, Timer, Contest Chair and more. Toastmasters can advance through several levels of leadership while also advancing through levels of communication. Many people think that Toastmasters is only for people who want to become public speakers or for people who already have excellent speaking skills. Nothing could be further from the truth. Toastmasters is a learning orga-
nization designed to help people develop and/or hone their meeting and speaking skills to prepare them for the job market or their personal life. Toastmasters clubs provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth. There are several clubs in the Ottawa Valley and also many clubs in the Ottawa area. To find out about a club near you, you can go to www.tm61.org and ‘find a club’. In Arnprior, there is a Toastmasters Club meeting at Arnprior hospital on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9. The Renfrew club meets at St. Joseph’s High School Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m. There is also an Advanced Club for more experienced speakers meeting on the first and third Fridays at Quail Creek in the chapel. Guests are always welcome at the meetings and people can start at any time. Costs are less than a coffee a day.

Adam Sandler was granted by Make-AWish Eastern Ontario in 2012. He began fundraising because he wanted to help other children have the same magical wish experience that he had. “At 14 years old Tysen is already a superstar,” says Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario CEO Tanya Desjardins. “He is an inspiration to us and we are so thankful for his hard work and dedication to the Make-A-Wish cause.

Community - Tysen Lefebvre, who travelled to Burnstown on one of his MakeA-Wish forarys this year, was celebrated recently for doing the missions of mercy for a full year. The 14-year-old Ottawa teen launched his Mission To A Million in support of Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario last fall. Tysen’s goal is to raise $1 million in order to help grant wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions. In just one year, Tysen has already raised $200,000 for Make-A-Wish, and has adopted close to 20 wishes in Eastern Ontario, including that of young Burnstown area Katie Muldoon-Roy, a five-year-old who lives with mitochondrial disease and intractable epilepsy and uses a wheelchair for mobility. She loves to swim and be in the water and that’s why a hot tub wish was a logical choice for her wish. The funds Tysen has raised are benefiting 20 deserving children. These include Avery, 5, who lives with a genetic syndrome and got her wish to have a hot tub; John, 15, who has sickle cell and got his wish to meet this favourite dance group, the Jabbawokeez; and Ashley, 16, who has spina bifida and got her wish to visit a mall for the first time with a shopping spree at Bayshore Shopping Centre. Tysen, who lives with Phiffer Syndrome, was inspired to begin his Mission To A Million when his own wish to meet

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.
PLANNING A LEGACY GIFT AS PART OF YOUR ESTATE PLAN CAN HAVE POSITIVE TAX BENEFITS Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct beneficiary of a part or all of your retirement funds? By Paul St. Louis, LL.B, TEP Vice-President, Doherty & Associates
Many people who have been faithfully putting away funds regularly into registered retirement savings plans are only peripherally aware of the large embedded tax liability within these funds. For those holding such plans, the general idea is to draw on these funds later in life (you must begin doing so in the year following the year in which you turn 71) when your taxation rate may be lower. When the funds come out of the
plan, they are considered income and taxed accordingly. Similarly on death, unless rolled over to a qualified beneficiary (usually a spouse), the funds are de-registered all at once, considered income and consequently taxed heavily. Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct beneficiary of a part or all of your retirement funds? This represents a unique opportunity for some donors who are planning a legacy gift as part of their estate plan. When CHEO
is designated as a direct beneficiary of a part or all of your RRSP or RRIF, on the death of the plan holder, your estate can be issued a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of the designated funds which will generally offset the entire tax liability embedded in the designated funds. It is relatively straightforward to make this kind of gift. You simply need to name the hospital (CHEO Foundation - charitable registration number 11885 2474 RR0001) as the beneficiary on the plan documentation
If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at
megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694
with the financial institution that holds your retirement account. Before moving forward with such a gift, you need to consider this technique in the broader context of your overall financial and tax situation, so it is advisable to get professional advice from either your own financial planner or one of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee members.

58 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, November 27, 2014
‘The Shack’ pays tribute to winter fun in the Valley Arts - Winter weather is upon us already, and while some wish they could leave to a warmer climate and return in April, many Canadians have come to love winter, or at least have found ways of coping with it. Arnprior area artist Paul Perreault’s latest canvas print release entitled ‘The Shack’ is a tribute to one of the popular ways many Canadians choose to enjoy the icy season of winter. Ice fishing shacks can be found on just about every river and lake in the Ottawa Valley but ask anyone who’s ever been to one and you’ll discover it’s not really about the fishing. Sure fishing happens, but ice shacks have become a social community where neighbours and friends come together to share stories, laughs, a few hands of cards and the odd choice beverage.
Drawing from his own personal experiences out on the ice, Perreault has tried to capture the beauty of an icy, moonlit night on the Ottawa River contrasted against the welcoming glow of a wood heated ice shack. While the holes outside the shack are frozen over, inside the shack a hand of poker is underway while a neighbour drives up on his sled to drop in for a visit. Perreault’s paintings are known for their historic and nostalgic images of the area and this painting sticks to that theme. In the distance you can see Arnprior’s landmark steeple of the Catholic Church, the tall pines of Gillies Grove and the now demolished wharf that was a fixture of Robert Simpson Park for years. The snowmobiles parked outside are some of the most recognizable sleds of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.
Paul Perreault captures the joys of the ice fishing shack in his latest series of prints.
Many of these sleds can still be seen riding the trails to this day, thanks to the efforts of vintage snowmobile enthusiasts who work to keep these machines alive.
PAUL PERREAULT
models
Featured models are a 1965 Ski-Doo Chalet, a 1968 Arctic Cat Panther and a 1971 Snow Cruiser. ‘The Shack’ print is available in two sizes, 12x18 and 24x36 on stretched canvas. If you would like to see this print or other prints by Perreault, they are in window displays at Ben’s TV on John Street and the Arnprior Shopping Mall. You can also see them online at www.paulperreault.ca. Perreault is taking orders for Christmas and welcomes inquiries at his studio/gallery. He can be reached at 613-6230753 or by email at paul@ paulperreault.ca.

Jason Marshall/Valley Heritage Radio
A star is born
Heritage Radio’s Holly Jolly fundraiser to raise fund for suicide prevention
Petawawa, Pembroke, Renfrew and Arnprior. It will also help the centre create suicide survivor support groups, as well as give the centre an opportunity to create an awareness presentation for area high schools students so they know the importance or reaching out to help themselves, or a friend, when in need. “We feel this organization is vitally important for the young people in the region and their families, and we encourage our listeners to donate when our radiothon hits the air Dec. 6 at 10 a.m., said Marshall. “Young people are our future, and we need to take care of them today.” Another reason to support this group, he says, is they receive no government funding and in order to keep the doors open, they need the support of the communities they serve. The Holly Jolly Radiothon will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Art Jamieson will host the event and people can contact the station at 1-613-4329873 or 1-888-532-9870. Or they are invited to drop into the open house that day and donate in person. The open house will include a silent auction, raffles and live music including Mike Fahey & Classic Country Revue, Marleen Fawcett and the station’s Search for a Star contestants including Sonya Bergin, Bailey Rogers, Natasha Curley, Ali and Gus McCormick, and more. Find out more about the Robbie Dean Family Centre at www.rdfcc.com. In the past four years, the Holly Jolly Radiothon has raised close to $60,000 for a number of local groups and organizations, including the Bonnechere Manor Foundation, Child Poverty Action Network, United Way, Recovery Road and Champlain Community Transportation Collaborative.

News - Youth suicide is a very real problem in the Ottawa Valley and the Pontiac, and Valley Heritage Radio is turning to its loyal listeners to donate and help those who are in need of assistance. The radio station is set to host its fifth annual Holly Jolly Radiothon and Open House on Saturday, Dec. 6, and this year the charity of choice is the Renfrew County Suicide Prevention and Crisis Centre for Youth and Families. This is a branch of the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre. “When we saw their application and realized the amazing work this group is doing across the Ottawa Valley and beyond, we knew it was a cause our listeners could get behind,” said station manager Jason Marshall. “Sadly, youth suicide is very real. This organization is working hard to help those in need before it comes to that, and also working to heal those who have lost a loved one to suicide.” At the centre, young people and families meet with professionals trained to offer help, support and advice without judgment. And according to Tom Sidney, director of the centre, there is very little wait time because when people need help, even a matter of hours is critical when it comes to mental health. “The purpose of the centre is to keep youth safe from suicide, family units together during a crisis, to have people feel heard, and to limit the wait times for support services,” said Sidney. The centre has four main pillars of support: walk-in clinics, a parent support group, community prevention and training, and post-suicide debriefing. “We will help those families and individuals heal from a loss due to suicide. And we’ll reach out to the youth so they know how to reach out to us, which will directly save future lives,” said Sidney, adding the centre helps people in Renfrew County, the Pontiac, Ottawa and beyond.
Sonya Bergin of Renfrew, above left, was the big winner in the Valley Search for a Star contest sponsored by Valley Heritage Radio and Wellcraft Music. Sonya, 18, was chosen the winner from a field of 42 singers in the competition which began five weeks ago, and wrapped up recently in front of a full house at the Horton Community Centre. As part of the prize package, Sonya will have a two-song recording session at Wellcraft Music, All the money raised at this year’s Holly Jol- and have her song released to national radio. The prize package is valued at more than ly Radiothon will go directly to the centre so it $5,000. The runner-up was Horton’s Bailey Rogers, who wins a one-song deal with Wellcan continue to operate its four crisis clinics in craft. Above, Bailey impresses the audience.

Country Christmas in Pakenham Saturday Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca
Community – It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, especially in Pakenham this Saturday. The Pakenham and Business Tourism Association (PBTA) is hosting ‘A Pakenham Country Christmas’ on Saturday, Nov. 29. It is being billed as a heartwarming reminder of the true Christmas spirit and a chance to kick off Christmas in the village. The day is filled with family friendly activities and events and gives people a chance to explore the Village of Pakenham. Christine Whelan, secretary for PBTA, promises a fun day. “It is going to be a great day and the weather should be sunny too,” said Whelan. “People should visit because it’s a great day for the entire family with lots to do and you can shop local and cross some things off your shopping list too!” The event starts at 9 a.m. with Santa having breakfast at the Centennial Restaurant until 11 a.m. For breakfast it’s a normal price for a breakfast item, but a special guest will be there too. “Santa will be set up in his own area to visit with the children,” explained Whelan.
From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., children can write their letter to Santa in the foyer of Pakenham Public School. Tables will be set up with paper, stickers and crayons. “There will be helpers and then the letters get delivered to the post office,” said Whelan. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. there will be a craft fair and the Girl Guides Christmas Café in the school gym. “Last year the café was delicious and I am sure this year it will be delicious too,” said Whelan. “It’s a nice fundraiser for them and lots of baked goods to purchase.” There is no admission to the craft fair and 22 vendors are expected. “It’s full,” said Whelan. “They will have everything from Christmas décor, woodworking, knitting, local honey, gift baskets and more.” St. Mark’s Anglican Church is hosting a Tea Room from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Last year was the first year for an event at the church and it was a big success. “It will be all homemade treats and I am sure it will be good,” said Whelan. Stone Bridge Pony Club will be offering pony rides at 5 Span Feed and Seed, by donation to the club. “It’s always cute and fun,” said Whelan. For lunch, Santa will be visiting Love
That Barr from noon to 1 p.m. “It’s a cozy atmosphere with the fireplace,” added Whelan. At 2 p.m. the Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library will have a festive story time for children of all ages and from 2:30 to 4 p.m. there will be crafts at the library. From 2 to 4 p.m. will be Carols and Candles at St. Andrew’s United Church. “They will have the sanctuary filled with candles and hot chocolate will be served as well,” said Whelan. The church and Old Crowe Creek will also be collecting donations for the Lanark County Food Bank. An Elf Hunt will be happening all day until 3 p.m. “Throughout the village, at different stores, there will be elves,” explained Whelan. “You need to find the names of all 12 elves and drop off your ballot at the school.” The winner of the Elf Hunt will win a gift basket donated by the businesses of Pakenham. The day will conclude with a tree lighting and caroling at the park by 5 Span Spuds, sponsored by the Pakenham Horticultural Society. It is a planted tree, donated by Cedar Hill Farm, and they use the same one each year. “It’s lovely,” said Whelan. “The tree has grown every year along with the crowd.”

McNULTY, Janet In loving memory of a wife, mom, mother-in-law and grandma who suddenly left us seven years ago November 15.
There is a special kind of feeling That is meant for you alone. A huge place in our hearts That only you can own. There will always be a heartache, And many a silent tear. But always precious memories, Of the days when you were here. Lovingly remembered by Irene and family
Doris Peplinski
November 26, 2013 When I laid there beside you, could you feel me there? My arms were wrapped around you, and I was stroking your hair. I was talking about all the good times, for me they were every day. I wanted you to feel love and comfort, and happy in some way. I watched your every breath, and prayed that each one wasn’t your last. The time we got to share together, went by too quick, too fast. I wanted you to wake up. Please Mum open your eyes. Tell me this is a nightmare, and not our goodbyes. As your last breath grew closer, we lay there peacefully together. My heart continually breaking, I wanted you forever. Then there it was, your final breath of air. This is so cruel and not fair. I held your beautiful face, and prayed you’d breathe again. I wasn’t ready for you to go, I couldn’t admit that this was the end. But then I realized that you were now at peace. Not suffering anymore. You were beginning the life of an Angel And your body no longer sore. I held you close and squeezed you tight, and tried to say goodbye. I’ve lost my Mum and my number one best friend, all I could do was cry. I slowly got up, I wanted so much to stay, I leaned over and gave you one more kiss, it was so hard to walk away. Mum you are my entire world and I miss you very much. I wish I could feel your lovable cuddle, and your soft and gentle touch. But for now I have to wait, until we meet again. You will always be in my heart and thoughts, my dear Mum and best friend. Always and Forever Our Hearts Will Always Touch. Your baby Larry

Jan. 9, 1978 – Nov. 30, 2009 THE DAY GOD TOOK YOU HOME A million times we’ve missed you. A million times we’ve cried. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly. In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place; No one else can ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you; But you didn’t go alone. Part of us went with you The day God took you home. We will remember you always: CLR564596
CLR569028
Time is moving forward But the pain remains the same Three years have passed already And nothing seems to change A dark cloud descended Over our world that day For the loss of our child and brother There are no words we can say We long to see your face To see you walk into the room I long to hear your voice Saying Mum I love you too So on this sad day my son We want to say to you How very much we love And miss you so much too Always in our thoughts Forever loved Mom, Doug, Corina, Cathy, Jack & Kerry

Never forgotten Your family

No one knows how much we miss you, No one knows the bitter pain We have suffered, since we lost you Life has never been the same. In our hearts your memory lingers, Sweetly, tender, fond and true. There is not a day dear granny, That we do not think of you. Love Christine, Lori & Lily

She was an angel who lived among us, A gift from God above, She showered us with kindness, And shared with us her love. She cherished every moment, With the man who was her life, Walking hand in hand together, facing life with all its strife. She loved us all dearly, Each one a different way, Nestled close with her heart, Though, now she’s far away, She is gone to live with Jesus, But she’s here with us today, Smiling down on each and every one of us, Telling us she is ok. Forever in our thoughts and always in our hearts, We miss you and love you dearly, Your Family
In Loving Memory of
Doris Peplinski November 26, 2013 We thought of you today But that is nothing new We thought of you yesterday And will tomorrow too We think of you in silence And make no outward show For what it meant to lose you Only those who love you know Remembering you is easy We do it every day Its the heartache of losing you That will never go away Forever missed by Ann, Jason and The Boys CLR567902
Helen Elizabeth Smith BA MLS August 8 1949 - November 17, 2014 Librarian, Writer/Editor, Author
Helen, a life long resident of Ottawa, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 17, 2014 at the Embassy West Hospice surrounded by family and friends. She was the youngest daughter of the late H. Lloyd Smith and late Helen M. (Gray) Smith. She will be greatly missed by her sister Jane Smith of Pembroke, brother Clark Smith (Elaine Bazinet) of Douglas, nephews Alex (Alison Judd) and Adam (Daisy Moores), niece Laura (Robert Campbell) and dear friend Anne Vespry of Ottawa. Her grandniece Maggie and grand nephews Leo and Peter will be deprived of her guidance, keen wit and realism. Helen obtained a Bachelor of History Degree in Canadian History (Queen’s University) and a Masters of Library Science (University of Western Ontario). While at Hopewell P.S. much to her delight, she auditioned and was chosen to sing with the Ottawa Public Schools’ Central Choir. Helen had three distinct careers starting as a Children’s librarian, Librarian at Heritage Canada; Office manager of a law firm and throughout an editor/writer and author of “Canada ‘s Farm - a History of the Experimental Farm in Ottawa”. From an early age she was very imaginative and creative as shown by her plasticene models of Roman soldiers, cedar carvings and miniature antique furniture. Her love of history and working with wood even inspired her to move a mid19th century log house to her property in Renfrew County where she spent many hours chinking logs, painting window frames with authentic paints and restoring the siding to bring back the house to its original beauty. This past spring Helen designed and constructed on her balcony a beautiful garden of flowers and vegetables that flowed over tables, trellis and floor. During the last six months of her life, Helen endured many very difficult challenges and changes. She faced every one of them with courage and good humour. Helen will always be lovingly remembered by her family and friends as a very strong and courageous person! Following Helen’s wishes there will be no visitation or funeral but there will be a gathering of family and friends to celebrate her life at the home of her nephew at 25 Inverness Avenue in Ottawa on Saturday, December 6 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. For those wishing, donations may be made to Hospice Care Ottawa, Ottawa Bird Count, Lanark Animal Welfare Society, Ontario SPCA Renfrew Branch, National Pancreatic Cancer Canada Foundation. 1127.CLR569968 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, November 27, 2014 33

Mrs. Loyola Mary Peplinski (née Quinn) of Calgary passed away suddenly as a result of a massive heart attack at 7:00 pm on the evening of Friday, November 7, at the age of 77 years. She spent her last moments, as she had much of the last 56 years, in the arms of her husband Des. Mom was born in Lanark, Ontario. She graduated as a registered nurse in 1958 from Hotel Dieu Hospital in Kingston, Ontario and subsequently married Desmond. The newlyweds moved to Renfrew, Ontario where Loyola worked as a nurse and where their 4 children were born. In 1967, Loyola and her family moved to Ottawa and she continued her nursing career at the Riverside Hospital. Her lifelong passions were caring for her kids and grandchildren and tending to her patients. In 2002 after retiring from nursing, she and Des moved to Calgary where she actively assisted her friends, neighbours and anyone else who came to her door. She was an early student and practitioner of a healthy lifestyle and has left this legacy and learning with her family. We should all be so lucky to have the energy, positive outlook, and strong faith to guide us in life that Loyola did. She is dearly missed by her husband Desmond, her children Theresa (Vincent), Jim (Cathy) , Mike (Paola) & Ed (Margaret) and her grandchildren Erin, Matt, Anny, Quinn, Jacob, Anastasia, Caroline, Mary and Jack. In lieu of flowers or donations, please do something nice for someone today. Photos, memories and condolences may be shared with Loyola’s family through www.evanjstrong. com.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Weight management, wellness and nutrition
Opinion – ‘Tis the season for shopping and gift giving. Decisions! Decisions! What to buy for the health conscious on your list? Blenders/Nutrient Extractors: Blenders like the NINJA or the NutriBullet are great items for any health conscious individual. These machines make healthy smoothies by extracting the nutrients. Bike: A bike isn’t a gift you’d give to most of your friends, but if you have kids this is the ultimate way to get them outside and enjoying themselves, as well as, an important rite of passage and bonding opportunity when they learn to ride for the first time. Calorie Conscious Restaurant Gift Certificates: There are a few health food restaurants in Ottawa. You can even find a restaurant in your neighbourhood that has calorie-reduced foods on the menu. Classes: Not sure what to get, try a gift certificate to an introductory yoga class. For those more adventuresome how about a complementary self defence class or rock climbing, not interested in sports,

how about a healthy cooking class or dance lesson. Exercise Equipment: Barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, yoga mat. With the cost of equipment today a gift certificate towards a piece of gym or exercise equipment would be so appreciated. Fitness DVDs: This would be great for the person who is shy, does not have the time, money, or confidence to work-out in a gym. An instructional dvd would be a great gift item that would be well received. HEALTHY IDEAS
Fruit Basket: There are few foods healthier than fruits, but the unfortunate fact is that many of us don’t get anywhere near the daily recommend amount. A fruit basket is a thoughtful gift that shows you’ve put time and thought into your choice and it’s one that will look great too while helping them get more vitamins, minerals and fibre in there diet. Gym-membership: Anybody on your list could benefit from a gym membership. It would be a great gesture to offer to pay their dues for a few months, just to help
them get started. Healthy Cook Book: If the person you are shopping for is interested in changing their eating habits for the better, a healthinspired cook book would be the perfect gift for them. You could also record some episodes of cooking shows, and offer the video as a present. You can learn a lot about good cooking from television. GIFT OF READING
Magazine Subscription: Give a subscription to a wellness-related magazine that suits individual needs such as lowsodium, low-calorie, gluten-free, diabetic etc. Odds-n-Ends: Insulated lunch totes, food scales, herb savers, water bottles, hydration systems etc. Be creative. Sometimes the most enjoyed gifts are the simplest gifts of all. Personal Chef: For that someone special, you can hire a personal chef to whip up something special for the holidays. This gift will be something the recipient will cherish for ever. Shoes/Clothes: Giving someone a pair of hiking boots is a great way to inspire
them to try going for a long walk, while giving someone running shoes, a breathable top can help them with jogging or fleece tops to keep your loved ones warm. Spa gift certificate: A gift card from a health spa would be most appreciated, the healing benefits of the mind, body and soul are sure to make this a very memorable gift. A spa day is a great way to give someone the chance to unwind mentally. Stay-fit Stocking Stuffers: Fill a stocking with an assortment of better-for-you snacks, including nutrition bars, cocoaroasted almonds, wasabi peas, soy crisps, low-calorie freeze-dried fruit crisps or dark chocolate (70 per cent or higher cocoa content). Wellness for Two: Support a loved one. Sign up for healthy cooking classes, yoga or a day at the spa, how about ballroom dancing.

Covering the local news scene
Prior Players thank many for successful Hilda’s Yard and light co-ordinator, Kieran Green, and hair/make-up artists Susan Betts and Mary O’Connor. “Without all of you, our actors and staging wouldn’t have looked so beautiful.” A big thank you is also owed to Diane Anderson and the Prior Chest Nuts who ran the` front of house, noted the theatre group. “They did a fantastic job and we are grateful for all their assistance. And we are happy to say that their 50/50 draw helped them to raise quite a bit of money for future dragon boat events. “We are looking forward to what they’ll be bringing us in 2015.” There were also many who donated their time and products, said Prior Players. Included was Tim Hortons, due to the generosity of owner Peter McCluskey, helped to keep the cast warm and fed in the green room by donating coffee and Timbits for every performance. Metro also donated a $25 gift card to help buy food and drink for the cast. Peebles Lottery Centre and Bonnie Jane’s Coffee House were kind enough to sell advance tickets on Prior Players’ behalf. Charlotte Leitch, with Century 21 Explorer Realty, was kind enough to assist with signage around town, as well as offering support with producing. Finally, the Christian Education Centre was thanked for giving Prior Players the space to showcase its talent. “Last, but certainly not least, the Prior
Players would like to extend their warmest thanks to the audience members who came out to support our play. We love to entertain you with each and every production and without you there would be no reason to go on. “Your continued support is what keeps us coming back each and every year, and we are so happy to keep doing it.” Prior Players are always looking for new members, both for on- and off-stage roles. If interested in getting involved or want any information, do contact them by telephone at 613-623-5585 or email priorplayers@ gmail.com. Producer Rachel MacLean extended her personal thanks to everyone mentioned above. “This was my first time being involved with the Prior Players and everyone within the group made me feel so welcome,” she said. “The support and assistance I received from all of you since September has been overwhelming,” she added. “And for those who took my phone calls and who were willing to donate to us, I am so grateful. I was so nervous to call complete strangers and ask them to give me whatever they could offer (for no compensation) and all of you agreed, without hesitation, to assist me. “I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better group of people to work with From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

Arts - The Prior Players has issued “a most gracious thank you” to everyone who helped make their fall production of Hilda’s Yard a success. Its first thank went to the “magnificent cast who managed to entertain us in each and every performance.” The cast included Elaine Lowe, Dave Anthony, Mike Poehlmann, Amanda Dixie, Nadia Ouellet and Alan Rowsom. “Without these six fine actors on our stage, we wouldn’t have had much of a show,” said Prior Players in a news release. Prior Players also thanked all of those “who worked behind the scenes to pull off this wonderful play.” Included is director, Garry Anderson, whose insight helped actors through each and every rehearsal. The assistant director, Frankie Juby, who due to illness was unable to attend rehearsals in the last few weeks, still worked diligently from her home to help the production along the way. Stage manager Helen Bird kept props in order and actors on time. Prompter Margie Klimpel wasn’t noticed by many during the productions but was an integral part of the team. The set design and construction was led by Rowsom and he was assisted by a very dedicated crew of George McLaren, Owen Bird, Dave Anthony, Anderson, Diane Anderson, Elaine Lowe and Ouellet. Finally Prior Players thanked its sound
