News – McNab-Braeside council will not reconsider its decision to remove funding for recreation and library services with Arnprior and Renfrew from the tax base despite being urged to do so in a petition bearing signatures of more than 2,000 residents. Brian Armsden, spokesperson for McNab-Braeside Residents for Reading and Writing (MB4RR), presented the petition that asked council to extend 2013 agreements for another year and continue to pay for it from the tax base. In a presentation to council Nov. 19, Armsden explained the group of concerned citizens was formed in summer 2012 when “negotiations with the transfer agreement with Arnprior were turning a little sour.� MBR4RR supports the idea that library and recreation services are core responsibilities of a municipality, said Armsden. The services should be accessible and affordable to all residents, he added. Armsden reported that 2,007 eligible voters signed in favour of asking council to reconsider. See ACCOUNTABILITY Page 3

Accountability the issue: deputy mayor

Rebate idea tabled to Dec. 17 meeting Participants 0-18 years old and over 60 years of age will qualify, suggested Styles. The system will help track users, she said, ďŹ xing the problem of inaccurate numbers from the town, which has plagued the situation “When the receipt comes back to township we have the name, we know what numbers and what cost,â€? she said. “At the end of the year, we’d know how many people accessed it.â€? She said the idea will not only provide children and seniors with access to programs but will build positive relationships and enable the town/townships to approximate user numbers in programs and provide the township of McNab-Braeside with accurate numbers of program users. Mayor Mary Campbell is in favour of the decision.

Gift idea: library card News - The Arnprior Public Library has a Christmas gift idea. If you are out of town and have to pay as of Jan. 1 for a library card perhaps you should ask for a library membership for Christmas. For more, see the library column on Page 39.

“I think what we’ve got here is an equitable solution and fulďŹ lls our mandate,â€? she said. Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie, who voted unsuccessfully to again table the library rebate, said the same logic applied to her motion to table the recreation rebate suggestion. “What’s this going to cost – still we don’t know,â€? she said. “Why are we not following the resolution we made for no agreements next year.’ While Styles and Coun. Brad McIlquham voted against tabling the recreation rebate motion, Blimkie, Coun. Bob Campbell and the mayor opted to direct staff to bring a report back to the Dec. 17 detailing the ďŹ nancial impact of the proposed rebate. “This motion is taking us towards equity,â€? said Mayor Campbell. “But we’ll get the ďŹ nancial impact and we can pick the discussion up Dec. 17.â€?

HUGE BLACK FRIDAY SALE! SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Brian Armsden, spokesperson for McNab-Braeside Residents for Reading and Recreation, addresses township council Nov. 19.

7,&2

“The people we met with and signed this petition either use programs or see the value. Two thousand people do not understand why that decision was made,â€? said Armsden. Of the township’s 3,700 households, doorto-door volunteers were able to make contact with about 1,600. Eighty per cent signed in favour of asking council to reconsider, 10 per cent were not informed enough to decide and 10 per cent were leaning towards user pay. MBR4RR has used various combinations of social media to seek input and keep followers informed, said Armsden, and now has followers totaling in the thousands. Many of the signatures were gathered during a door-to-door campaign that began Oct. 12. “While I’m very proud of the work the volunteers did, I know I speak for others when I say I wish we cold have done more,â€? said Armsden. Not only will council’s decision mean township residents will pay higher prices to participate in recreation programs and use facilities, the programs and facilities themselves are in jeopardy because of decreased usership. “This affects everyone from the casual user to those participating in schools,â€? said Armsden. Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie joined other members of council in noting the increasing costs of agreements was straining the township’s ďŹ nances. “What’s the ceiling?â€? she asked. “When is it too much?â€?

Coun. Aldene Styles praised MB4RR’s efforts. “I think it was quite a community effort that went into going out door-to-door,â€? she said. “I know from canvassing for elections how much time it takes.â€? Council has been trying to focus on its own programming, including a six-week outdoor hockey program introduced meeting night, and facilities, but Armsden said that is not enough. “We could not provide the facilities that Arnprior can,â€? he said. Blimkie pointed out a big part of the problem was the inability to get accurate user numbers from the Town of Arnprior. “The negotiations didn’t fail over money,â€? she said. “The negotiations failed over accountability. None of you would enter into an agreement if you didn’t know the cost.â€? She alluded to the 1,600 respondents to a council-issued survey who said they did not use the town programs and did not support funding them. “I cannot enter into an agreement with Arnprior without accountability,â€? she said. “The 1,600 that did answer – someone has to be their voice.â€? Coun. Brad McIlquham said the increases the township was facing were not feasible and added that the township has never asked for compensation for town users of the Dochart soccer park or the township’s softball ďŹ elds. “All of that costs and we’re not even appreciated for spending that money,â€? he said. “We get nothing from Arnprior.â€?

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

Cheron Campbell, centre, had the honour of being the first donor in this year’s Salvation Army kettle campaign in Arnprior. She made a donation just after Majors Rocky and Janice Bishop had set up the kettle Nov. 21 outside the Sears and Hart stores in the Arnprior Mall. Campbell urges everyone to donate to the good cause.

Salvation Army begins collecting for those in need John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

News – The Salvation Army launched its annual Christmas campaign in Arnprior last week, setting up its iconic donation kettle and an angel tree inside the Arnprior Shopping Centre. The Salvation Army is also anticipating setting up a kettle at the Arnprior LCBO store during the Christmas season. The kettles will be up until Dec. 24, collecting money that will help needy families in Arnprior in area. “All the money raised in this kettle stays in this community,” said Salvation Army Eastern Region director of public relations and development Sean Maddox, who helped put up the kettle with Majors Rocky and Janice Bishop. In fact, last year all contributions to the Arnprior kettle and more came back to this area, he said. Applications for Christmas hampers, vouchers and toys are being taken locally this week at the NeighbourLink Fountain. People needing assistance should drop by the old school at 128 Mary St. from 1 to 3 p.m. either Wednesday, Thursday or Friday (Nov. 27-29). As well as Arnprior residents, those from nearby McNab-Braeside, West Carleton and Pakenham are also eligible. The donations were down a bit in Arnprior last year, one of the reasons the Salvation Army is setting up a second kettle at the LCBO store. The organization could also do with more volunteers to staff the kettles over the next four weeks so to maximize the time they are accepting donations. Anyone interested in putting in a shift of between two to four hours (Sears has provided a comfy chair) is asked to call 613432-7721. While the kettles and the angel tree help ensure that everyone will have the chance to have a happy Christmas, the kettle campaign also plays a major role in enabling the Salvation Army to provide emergency help all through the year, explained Major Janice Bishop. “It means that things such as emergency food are always accessible to those who need

it. Need knows no season.” As well as donating at the kettle, people can take an angel off the tree and bring back an unwrapped age-appropriate gift to be given to a needy child for Christmas. Maddox noted that the Salvation Army has no statistics for the level of need in this area, but applications for gift and vouchers in most areas of Eastern Ontario are up over last year. “I’ve had people calling about the program in early October,” he said. “There are a lot of people in hard times.” He noted there are others who used to need the service, but now are back on their feet and are donating to the cause. “It’s wonderful to see them giving back,” he said. This year’s Christmas assistance campaign marks the 123rd year the Salvation Army has sought kettle donations from the public to help millions of Canadians living in poverty. More than 2,000 kettles have been set up in storefront, sidewalk and shopping mall locations across the country. “Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference in the lives of those in need,” said Salvation Army Commissioner Brian Peddle. “Thanks to our generous donors, the Salvation Army helped 1.8 million people in Canada last year, restoring hope and dignity to the most vulnerable in society. “Our goal for this year’s Christmas Kettle Campaign is to raise $21 million, which will allow us to provide direct, compassionate, handson service to any individual seeking assistance,” said Peddle. “We are extremely grateful for the generosity that Canadians have shown us year after year, and we cannot thank them enough for their continued support.” Through FilltheKettle.com, the Salvation Army makes it easy for people to donate online to a kettle in their area. As well, individuals and groups can host an online kettle and invite their family and friends by email to donate to The Salvation Army. Donations to the 2013 Christmas campaign can also be made at www.SalvationArmy.ca. Donors can also text HOPE to 45678 from most mobile carriers in Canada. A $5 donation will be added to their monthly mobile bill.

News - The Emerald Ash bug is boring into Arnprior’s town coffers. At worst it would cost anywhere from $240,000 to a half million dollars to deal with infested trees (were they all infested) over the next 10 years. No one knows how many of the 127 ash trees are under attack by the Emerald Ash Borer, though an expert at the county level believes dozens are showing signs. Residents also best get used to seeing fewer trees at Robert Simpson Park and other town owned properties, according to a staff report presented to council at its Nov. 12 meeting. In it, environmental engineering officer Deanna Streifel suggested council endorse a plan that would: • create a tree audit next spring; • remove and replace all small ash trees next year; • set a budget for removal

and replanting of 7 to 12 medium- or large-sized “high liability” trees each year. Streifel gave council four more options besides the above recommendation, which also met the operations advisory committee’s approval. She said there are two ways of dealing with the non-native wood boring beetle that kills all species of ash trees: treatment or chop down and replace. The first is a biennial treatment that sees injections of TreeAzin every two years at a cost of $234 per small tree; there are 41 small trees on town property. It will be $542 per medium tree; there are 49 medium sized trees. And $1,842 for the largest tree; there are 36 large trees. If all trees were treated it would cost about $512,000 over 10 years. There is no guarantee the bugs wouldn’t return, especially if private residence and surrounding forests are not treated.

Streifel prefers the chopand-replace option. It costs about $540 per small tree, about $1,800 per medium and $3,600 for a large. A private contractor must remove the medium and large trees. This route costs about $240,000. It is unclear what will become of infested trees that have been removed. Coun. Ted Strike said last August staff led council to believe the treatment route was a cure. As it turns out, so long as there are ash trees in southern Ontario, the bug will be here. “I’m glad to get the real story for when I talk to people about their private properties,” Strike said. Mayor David Reid said the situation is analogous to dandelions on one’s front yard. One may treat the lawn, but if neighbours don’t do the same, the dandelions will return. He then mused aloud about the town creating a tree nursery to save money over the long term.

Athletes to camp at fairgrounds Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - Hundreds of orienteers and their supporters will stay at the Arnprior Fairgrounds next fall. At its Nov. 12 meeting, Arnprior council agreed to lift the Overnight Camping Bylaw for 700 athletes and some 500 to 700 supporters who plan to tent at the fairgrounds. The Nick Smith Centre will be offered up for breakfast and showers during the Thanksgiving weekend, Oct. 9 to 13. Orienteering is a family of sports that requires navigational skills using a map and compass to run from point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain. Arnprior will host the 2014 North American Orienteering Championships.

It is expected that a $5 per person, per night fee be charged, with the money going back into the “financial operation of the event,” according to a staff report by parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur. CAMPFIRES?

There was some discussion at the council table about campfires. The athletes have had them at other locations in the past, but Arnprior’s outdoor fire bylaw is stringent. While still under consideration, the end result may see two or three fire pits allowed on site. Staff recommending discussing the event with residential neighbours, but it was determined the town’s jurisdiction includes hosting the event. The fair board was thanked for participating.

Union, administration debate hospital bed numbers John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

News – The union representing staff at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital is calling on the administration to keep open six acute care beds that have been primarily closed since June. The 110-member CUPE local 2198, with support from the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions, made the plea Monday at a press conference in Arnprior. They will try to drive home their point with a march and rally in Arnprior Tuesday, Dec. 10. However, Arnprior Regional Health CEO Eric Hanna says that with a tight budget the hospital has to ensure funds are being allocated to maximum efficiency and sometimes that isn’t keeping open beds that are not being used very often. He pointed out that initiatives implemented by the hospital have helped lower the average length of stay by patients, meaning not as many beds are needed. The number of patient days at the Arnprior hospital has dropped from 1,700 to less than 800 in the last three years. “We’ve taken

dollars that used to staff beds and put them into new programs and services,� he said. “We’ve reallocated dollars where there is a demand.� Hanna noted that three years ago 12 per cent of patients returned to hospital, but now its less than three per cent, so the programs are working, he said. However, CUPE 2198 president Patrick Garbutt said it doesn’t make sense to close any of the hospital’s 30 acute care beds in a fast-growing community such as Arnprior. Furthermore, the beds will be needed as the baby boomers grow older and put more stress on the system, he said. The beds are available, but aren’t being used because the hospital is choosing not to staff them, he explained. He said there will always be fluctuating patient numbers in the hospital, but the beds shouldn’t be dropped because the figures dip occasionally. Hanna responded by saying that the beds can be put back in operation if the hospital deems it necessary, but at the moment feels the money can be spent better in other areas. At the CUPE press conference, Garbutt and Ontario

Council of Hospital Unions president Michael Hurley raised the spectre of patients having to spend time in the overload area of the emergency department, being shipped to Ottawa hospitals if the beds aren’t being used or being sent home prematurely. Garbutt said that over the last several summers bed closures in Arnprior have extended from 15 to 17 weeks and this year it appears it will be much longer and possibly be permanent. He noted that the Arnprior hospital used to have a men’s and women’s floor, but no longer. “We taken a lot of chopping,� he said. “When people are recovering in their own community, they have the support of family and friends that promotes a faster recovery. Isolate them from that support structure and there is a barrier to speedy recovery. Hurley said he is worried that the provincial government is slowly moving toward centralizing more and more health care procedures in larger hospitals. “We see downsizing of the rural hospitals around Ottawa,� he said.

sures of beds at the Arnprior and District Hospital is one example, he said, noting that the uncertainty over whether the beds will ever open again is upsetting when there is a 98 per cent occupancy rate for acute care beds. Ontario already has the fewest acute care beds per capita of any province and developed country, he said. “We’re the most efficient now, so why are we cutting back,� he asked. He pointed out Ontario residents pay a health tax, so deserve to have services close to home. “We believe that patients are being redirected to Ottawa for treatments that they should receive in their community. “We are afraid that smaller community hospitals, including Arnprior and District, are being deliberately downsized, phased down and phased out.� While agreeing that Arnprior Regional Health is on a tight budget, Hanna maintained that it has made strides in improving health care services with some innovative policies and programs. He disagreed that rural hospitals in Ontario are in danger of being phased out. While the 2

REDEPLOYING RESOURCES

The redeploying of resources, including the reduction of acute care beds, won’t result in more patients being sent to Ottawa, he said. The patients going there now do so for Hanna said that over the past three years the average length of stay of patients at Arnprior hospital has decreased. The decrease is about equal to four beds. In a news release, Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) attributed the decrease in length of stay to a number of quality improvement initiatives including: • Chronic Obstructive Pul-

hospital budgets have been frozen, small hospitals did get a one per cent increase in the 2013-14, he said, along with extra allocations for special projects that are leading to efficiencies, he noted. “They (government) want people to get services in communities where they live, so they won’t be getting rid of small hospitals,â€? he said. “They won’t be closing hospitals ‌ but changing them, yes.â€?

monary Disease (COPD) program care plans in collaboration with Family Health Team; • revised discharge instructions; • post discharge follow-up phone calls; • implementation of assess and restore beds – to help patients regain their strength and independence after as their acute illness is resolving; • lower turnover rate in staffing. The decrease in length of stay presents ARH with an opportunity to invest budgeted resources elsewhere to meet patient demand, said Hanna. For instance, patients requiring transfusions through the medical day program are one of the populations benefiting from the reallocation of resources, he said. By the end of September, the clinic had already seen 269 patients, when originally it had budgeted for 116 visits. “The redeployment of dollars means we are able to treat 153 more patients (and counting) in this department,â€? said the ARH release. It goes on to say that: “As the corporation achieves efficiencies such as reductions in length of stay, it offers an opportunity to redeploy resources in other areas where demand is not met. Patients receiving care in other departments will also benefit from the redeployment of resources.â€? The departments benefitting from the redeployment of funds are Asses and Restore, Echocardiograms and Pharmacy. Hanna said that the redeployment of resources should not cost the hospital jobs. “Over the last three years, staffing has changed to reflect patient need and to align with the province’s home first philosophy,â€? the ARH release says. “ARH is proud of what we’ve achieved; we have been faced with a zero per cent funding increase over the last two years, but have been able to keep pace with the needs of our patients.â€?

Rally set for Dec. 10 News - CUPE local 2198 will hold a march and rally Tuesday, Dec. 10 to appeal to Arnprior Regional Health to staff six acute care beds now closed in the hospital. The rally, which is supported by the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions, will gather in Hydro Park at 11:30 a.m. The group will them march over the bridge and head down John Street to the hospital. CUPE 2198 president Patrick Garbutt invites all supporters to join the hospital workers. CUPE has also mounted a Facebook campaign in an effort to have the beds staffed.

News – A noisy gas leak on Daniel Street and a fire in a brand new pick-up keep the Arnprior Fire Department hopping last Friday afternoon. Fire chief John Okum reported that firefighters were called to the boat launch parking lot at the end of Baskin Drive for a vehicle fire. They found a 2014 Chevy Silverado fully ablaze. He said the pick-up, which was apparently owned by a dealership, had been parked there when the fire broke out in the engine compartment. While the damage was so extensive it made investigation difficult, the fire was likely caused by a mechanical or electrical fault, he said. Fortunately, the second call that afternoon did not result in a fire. However, the gas leak caused a few anxious moments at Signature Flowers. Okum said that a contractor

EDITORIAL

Where’s the outrage Same old, same old. It doesn’t appear Canadian politics is going through a major shift, despite the sudden rise to Opposition status of the NDP in the last federal election and the fallout over the various scandals wracking the Senate. You’d think this would be the perfect time for the NDP and parties like the Greens to make a major move. After all, it is the Conservative and Liberal hacks who are thumbing their noses at ordinary citizens with their feelings of entitlement and bad behaviour. Many of them obviously have no respect for the taxpayers who pay their over-generous salaries and perks (which obviously aren’t enough for some). However, there wasn’t much evident of public outrage in Monday’s by-elections. The Liberals won in downtown Montreal and Toronto. The Tories retained seats in rural Manitoba. No big changes there.

Pundits appear to be declaring new Liberal leader Justin Trudeau the big winner Monday. Perhaps. It would have been a real downer for the Grits if they had lost the seats they have held in Canada’s two biggest cities. And they did give the Conservatives a run for their money in one of the Manitoba ridings. Trudeau obviously has star power and his marijuana and China comments don’t appear to have damaged his reputation to any great extent. But he is still far from sweeping the country like his father did in his early days as Liberal leader. The NDP are obviously disappointed by the losses in the two urban seats. But they did poll well enough to show they are still a force on the Canadian scene. As for the Tories, the fact that rural voters still appear to be firmly on side despite anger over the Senate must be a relief. Sigh. It obviously takes a lot for Canadians to shift political loyalties.

Ignoring petition will be remembered Council’s continued going against public’s wishes disappointing in McNab-Braeside on election day To the Editor: It was disheartening to see the voice of over 2,000 voters who placed their signatures on a petition to continue the joint recreation agreements we have all enjoyed over the years giving M-B residents equal access to programs within the towns of Arnprior and Renfrew for one more year be silenced. These signatures that represented more voters than any council member received votes in the last election, save Councillor Aldene Styles, who at the time of writing this letter, has 70 more votes than signatures, that represent more than 3,700 people or 50 per cent of the general population according to 2001 census, signatures that represented more than 1,400 households, more than one third of returned non-support household surveys (billing requisitions that multiple property owners were called multiple times!) that are so cherished by this council. With Jan. 1 just around the corner, voters are now left with no choice but to circle Oct. 27 on their calendar. The fact that these programs are no longer affordable to the majority of M-B residents and will probably fold or be dramatically reduced for the ones that can afford, it is frightening. And what are we getting for pulling out of these agreements? Fifteen kids, 15 whole kids will get six sessions of outdoor hockey, if the weather is decent. Six sessions for $25, more than toonie-an-hour as our mayor has been

saying. Fifteen kids is also less than recreation for everyone that she is also touting. This council has had almost a year since they chose back in February to pull the entire funding for these agreements out from under the township residents, a whole year and six hockey sessions for only 15 kids is what they have come up with to date. The mayor and council say that the 6.53 per cent these agreements cost to the average taxpayer in the 2012 assessment is not offering value to our residents. I ask then, what value do our children and community get for the 7.6 per cent or $65 per average household for in-township recreation? How many indoor year-around rinks, libraries and indoor pools? None. How many programs? Euchre, soccer, softball and archery. The fact that this survey and the residents who took the time to read and sign were for the most part ignored means that this is no longer a recreation issue and is now a democratic one. For the wishes of the majority are no longer being considered by those who were elected to represent them? Your signature may be ignored now, but your ‘X’ on Oct. 27, 2014 will be heard loud and clear.

To the Editor: My family has benefitted from our community resources for many years. My husband and I have a young, busy family and are active travellers of the road to Arnprior – almost daily we find ourselves at the rink, library or pool. Over the past few months, I have followed our McNab-Braeside council as they have made some decisions that will impact negatively on not only our family but many families and individuals throughout our township and I am greatly disappointed. The intent of the survey was to confuse us and it was quite obvious, eventually, that our council had other intentions and no matter what, they were going to fulfill their desire to “play hardballâ€? with the Town of Arnprior. I attended the council meeting for McNabBraeside when they made their decision from the results of the survey to not participate in Arnprior or Renfrew’s recreation and library services. To be honest, that meeting was the most ridiculous meeting I have ever been to ‌ and I’ve been to quite a few board meetings.

Despite that decision, the people of McNabBraeside who felt strongly about the issue stepped up and began collecting signatures for the petition. I canvassed my neighbours, family and friends and not one person was against the petition. They were all happy to sign and believed that it is better for our community to participate in a relationship with Arnprior (and Renfrew) to share recreation and library services. I feel a great disappointment again that McNab-Braeside council chose to continue on their course of action and as a result we will all suffer. In the end, I look forward to voting in a new township council next year, but unfortunately we have a year to wait for that. In the meantime, damage will be done to our relationship with our neighbours (Arnprior), people will lose their jobs and McNab-Braeside residents will suffer from the lack of services or how expensive they will become.

Having Paramedics checking in on seniors not best use of health dollars To the editor: Re: Many healthcare initiatives here or coming, say CEO, Nov. 7 newspaper. Nurses applaud the effort to reduce the number of 911 calls coming from seniors living alone. However, we are hugely concerned about the health-care initiative underway in the Champlain LHIN in which paramedics are being tasked with visiting seniors to provide, what at times seems like primary care and at other

times are social services. If seniors in Deep River need home care visits for regular check-ups, this can be better done by community or primary care nurses as part of their regular work. If, on the other hand, residents need assistance with daily living activities, this is precisely the kind of work that local support service organizations carry out as part of their role in communities right across Ontario. They do so at a much lower cost, and are

much more skilled than paramedics at that. Paramedics are highly paid providers, trained to respond to emergencies. We should protect their roles for it. This type of misallocation of funds and health human resources is the reason why the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) issued in October 2012 a report titled Enhancing Community Care for Ontarians (ECCO). This report clearly outlines the solutions

needed to provide seniors with primary care and prevent unnecessary emergency department utilization and ambulance transfers. We believe these recommendations would allow seniors to age in place safely and with the community supports they need to live a healthy life that serves their care needs as well. Rhonda Seidman-Carlson, President Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario

Stop political games: ensure residents have recreation, library services To the Editor: I had a casual meeting in the coffee shop with one of the McNab-Braeside councillors on Nov. 22. It was explained to me the reasons that the citizens’ survey regarding the out-sourcing of library and recreational services as presented by Brian Armsden could not be heard, accepted or acted upon by council. It boiled down to procedural matters. However, the simple explanation should have been: “We have made-up our collective minds, and we just don’t care to listen to a bunch of residents who happen to disagree with us and have the audacity to challenge our survey and our decision regardless of the established funding practice for these essential services.” It is an established fact that our township cannot offer comparable facilities and programs of our own. That would be a foolish waste. Arnprior has already used provincial and federal funds to build library and recreational facilities. That was our money too. We have no choice but to out-source these necessities. Our schools are publicly funded, and our children have learned sporting skills through the school programs. Now all they ask is to have an extension of academic and recreational sports programs to use in their adult years, and to see the children learn and enjoy those same activities.

Prime Minister Harper published a most interesting book recently. It is a history of the game of hockey in Canada. His book makes a strong case for the retention and growth of amateur sports in Canada. I think it time to stop playing these silly political games and take a position to ensure that our residents have affordable access to library and recreational facilities and programs. I would be willing to see a forced amalgamation by OMB over this issue, but I certainly don’t like the idea. I have lived in this township since 1983 (with a short three-year period away). We are selfsufficient for water and sewer facilities. We don’t get street lights where needed unless we pay a surcharge to Hydro. We also pay a surcharge for garbage pick-up. Roads, fire protection and police services seem to be the only financial burden we ask for in return for paying an ever escalating property tax level. We know and appreciate the benefits of living in a rural municipality. We feel sorry for the urbanites who are stuck with a revenue shortfall because of their loss of commercial and industrial tax base. However, we still feel that fiscal concerns should not force our township officials to diminish the desirability of living in this beautiful area.

My wife and I have 10 healthy grandchildren, thanks in part to the sports programs at school and in the municipality. I write letters to them from time-to-time. One of those letters from May 10, 2012 is attached (see below). Daniel Q. Smith McNab-Braeside Hi grandchildren, Last Monday I attended a public meeting that was organized by the Township of McNabBraeside to provide residents the opportunity to comment on the proposal to establish ‘user-pay’ funding for recreational and library services. I had hoped to present my views that organized recreation for sports and for library services were essential, and should be funded by the township with property tax revenues. The meeting was chaired by the mayor of McNab-Braeside. She was very well organized and had a very good stage presence.

During the meeting, I got so exasperated with the position taken by the mayor, in support of the user-pay concept, that I lost it completely, yelled at the mayor, and told one gentleman who was interrupting me to “shut-up.” You know I used to be able to speak in public, and to organize my thoughts, but now I seem to be intimidated by young, smart, articulate people. I guess I really need practice in public speaking. I have a purpose in telling you this story. It is to encourage each one of you to become proficient in public speaking, and be able to express yourself. Verbal communication is so much superior to those clever social media comments that we see so often on Facebook and Twitter. Leave that for the egomaniacs. Just be sure to acquire the skill to speak in public, and hopefully be able to hold your cool better than I can at this stage of my life.

Pipeline company committed to safety, reliability To the Editor: Re: Letter to the Editor, Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, Nov. 14 by Joanne Mitchell. In response to the article ‘Pipeline a threat to local water’ written by Joanne Mitchell, Arnprior ChronicleGuide, Nov. 14, I would like to provide your readers with the facts about TransCanada’s proposed Energy East Pipeline and our commitment to safe and responsible transportation of oil products. The Energy East Pipeline will be a technologically advanced pipeline and involves converting 3,000 kilometres of natural gas pipeline to oil service and building 1,500 kilometres of new pipeline, mainly in Québec and New Brunswick. The primary purpose of the Energy East project is to safely provide Eastern Canada’s refineries with a variety of crude oil from Western Canada, allowing them to eliminate their reliance on more expensive crude oil imported from overseas and source their oil domestically. This will provide eastern refineries with a more competitive price for their oil and opportunities for job and investment growth. TransCanada has safely and successfully converted natural gas pipelines in the past, the most recent example being the conversion of Line One of the original Mainline for the Keystone Pipeline, which has safely delivered more than 500 million barrels of oil to the U.S. since it began operating three years ago. The article points out that there have been leaks on this pipeline; however, I would like to specify that the small number of incidents have had nothing to do with the integrity of the pipe itself. They all occurred at our pump stations and other above-ground facilities, designed to capture and contain oil on our property, and have mostly been related to leakage from small-diameter fittings and seals during maintenance work. They have all been cleaned up with no environmental impact. Our construction standards are the highest in the industry, and we have an industry-leading safety record to prove it. In 2012 alone, TransCanada invested $1 billion in our infrastructure safety and integrity program, which includes proactive inspection and maintenance programs to protect our pipelines and energy facilities. During our more than 60 years of operation, we have earned a reputation for delivering energy safely and efficiently. Pipelines such as Energy East are monitored 24 hours a day and equipped with automatic shut-off valves. We design our pipeline systems to effectively shut down and/or isolate sections of the pipeline should the need arise. The mechanism by which we do this is by installing valves that can be remotely activated and controlled. Some valves will allow for remote operation via a control centre. Other valves in the pipeline system may close on high pressure. Highly trained personnel perform regular inspections of the pipe and

surrounding area using low-flying helicopters, planes and all-terrain vehicles. Safety specialists and emergency response teams are always on call. Our state-of-the-art safety measures enabled 99.9994 per cent of liquid product to be transported safely by pipelines between 2002 and 2011. When building a pipeline, TransCanada takes special precautions to significantly reduce the risk of a pipeline rupture and spill in the vicinity of a water crossing, such as using thicker-walled pipe, installing shut-off valves on both sides of the crossing to quickly shut off the flow of oil if the instruments detect a drop in pipeline pressure, which may indicate a potential leak.

TransCanada will comply with the National Energy Board’s Regulation 54. Consequently, during construction, a third-party will conduct a Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) to inspect the welds. We will then conduct an audit on the NDE results to ensure they meet code and specification requirements. Furthermore, it will be a combination of TransCanada employees and external contractors or consultants hired directly by us who will inspect the pipeline construction. The NEB will also conduct its own independent inspections of the pipeline during construction. Some say incorrectly that diluted bitumen is different than regular crude oil in that it does not float in water and is more difficult to clean

up. In fact, diluted bitumen has similar characteristics and behaves the same way as conventional crude oils, which float in still, slow-moving and fast water. Crude oil can sink if it is allowed to weather and mix with dirt over time, making a swift response to a spill in water critical. It is also one of the reasons for which TransCanada will initiate its Emergency Response Plan and ensure its personnel, local emergency responders and contract resources are quickly on-site to respond to such an event. With Canadian crude oil production expected to grow to six million barrels per day by 2025, the Energy East pipeline is one solution to ensuring that vital infrastructure is in place to safely and reliably meet the grow-

ing oil demand. The advantage of Energy East is that almost 70 per cent is already in the ground and, of the remaining 30 per cent, over half would parallel existing rights-of-way. All this will reduce the project’s environmental impact. No one has a stronger interest than TransCanada does in making sure that our pipelines are designed, constructed and operated safely and reliably for the benefit of all Canadians.

Correction The word “revenue” was wrongly used in the Nov. 21 Chronicle-Guide front page story ‘Value added: Assessment ups, downs frustrate town council.’ The correct word is “assessment.” The error left the impression the Town of Arnprior has added $20 million over the last four years to its roughly $9 million budget. The Chronicle-Guide regrets any confusion that may have followed.

cur in distinct populations and vary geographically in size and markings. Nature’s Way All, however, have shorter and thicker necks than Canadas, and their bills are proportionately stubbier. Not too many years ago a small ‘Richardson’s Goose’ would generate excitement across the province whenever that tiny Canada Goose now known as Cackling - showed up. Today one can regularly find one or more Cackling Geese in large flocks of migrating Canada Geese. Similarly, Snow Geese sometimes show up in flocks of Canadas. Recently a ‘white’ Snow Goose frequented the Mississippi River east of Pakenham. The ‘blue’ form of Snow Goose is less commonly encountered here, and even more rarely a tiny Snow Goose look-alike, the Ross’s Goose, shows up; one visited Almonte this fall.

Lifestyle - I think it safe to say that everyone knows a Canada Goose. That species is more than familiar for many nest locally and thousands more pass through our in migration. Their V-shaped flocks were once a sign of spring, but with global warming their arrival no longer coincides with the vernal equinox. Some even remain here all winter. In the early1970s great efforts were made to establish a breeding population of geese in southern Ontario. The largest variety of Canada Goose, the ‘Giant’ race, was released in many regions including Ottawa. They quickly proliferated and spread, and today they are abundant throughout southern Ontario. They are so common that in many areas they are considered pests because their copious droppings foul water, beaches, and pathways. In the past few decades, most species of geese have gone through population explosions. Northern races of Canada Geese as well as Snow Geese now pass through Eastern Ontario in the hundreds of thousands, and in their nesting areas in the North they are creating havoc with the environment by digging up plant roots and enriching the soil with their nitrogen-rich droppings. For birdwatchers, the increase in geese has generated opportunities for seeing birds that once were considered to be rare. For example, Canada Geese are found across northern Canada and occur in discreet populations that vary slightly in appearance. All are smaller than the local nesting Giants, especially ones that nest in James and Hudson bays. Smaller still are the diminutive Canadas that in 2004 were officially declared to be a separate species – the Cackling Goose. Like Canada Geese, Cackling Geese oc-

And then there are the head shakers. These are geese that don’t look like any known species of goose. Jon Ruddy and I recently met one such bird near Brighton. It was huge and displayed many features of the smaller Canada Geese it accompanied. It also exhibited several features of Swan Goose, an Asian species commonly kept in captivity. Without doubt, it was a hybrid goose. With record-high goose populations, we can expect to have formerly rare species visit our area more frequently. We can also anticipate seeing individuals that don’t quite fit the bill for any known species of goose. Thus, when you see a flock of geese, it is well worth taking a closer gander!

ADHS Musical Cabaret premieres Thursday erables, Hairspray and more. Admission costs $7 for children and $10 adults. The school’s choir Red Velvet is also involved the musical performance. Music department head Frank Pecora said the cabaret gives more than one or two students the opportunity

to play lead roles, so it was a good fit for this year’s Arnprior performance. He reminded those attending the Saturday evening show that Arnprior’s Santa Claus parade may block off the main route to ADHS so visitors may have to take an alternate route to get to the high school for the show.

EDUCATION Stay away from dangerous situations: OPP

News – The OPP issued a news release last week, urging citizens to be on alert for threats to their well-being but not to take matters into their own hands. “Everyone is encouraged to practice personal safety at all times,” said the news release, adding that it’s each person’s responsibility to not put themselves in dangerous situations. “Adapting personal safety measures

is just a good practice,” said the release. “You may think you know of a person you need to be cautious with, but what of the people you don’t know?” The warning comes on the heels of stories about street youths randomly punching victims, trying to knock them out in what is being called a perverse game.

MP backs push for more choice in TV offerings News – Television-watchers shouldn’t be restricted in the channels they can access, says RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. She rose in the House of Commons last week to call attention to comments made by a television company’s president criticizing the Government of Canada’s initiative on unbundling of TV channels. “My constituents in the great riding of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke have been vocal about having more choice with the television packages than what is currently being offered by providers,” said Gallant. “Our government believes Canadian families should be able to choose the combination of television channels they want.” In the Speech from the Throne in October, the federal government committed to requiring television channels to be offered unbundled. This will allow Canadians choice in their television service while protecting Canadian jobs, said Gallant.

MP Gallant seeks pre-budget suggestions from the public

News – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is asking her constituents to once again provide input into the next federal budget. “I am asking for residents of the Upper Ottawa Valley to share their ideas and suggestions for next year’s federal budget,” said Gallant in a news release last week. “The Government of Canada wants to hear from Canadians on how to better position Canada for further job creation and economic growth.” Gallant said she plans to meet with local business, academic and community leaders to discuss their budget priorities.

“Canadians deserve an a la carte, pick and pay, unbundled selection of channels, and that’s what our government will deliver,” she added. Bell Media president Kevin Crull told an industry conference Nov. 18 that higher prices and less Canadian content could be the result if the government blindly forces unbundling of specialty television packages. He suggested that some of the profits from bundled packages

Campaign focuses on eliminating gender violence News – Sixteen Days of Activism against Gender Violence began Monday. The campaign to eliminate violence against women and girls includes the Day of Remembrance on Dec. 6. “Women and girls should be able to feel safe in their homes, workplaces and communities,” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant in a news release last week. “By standing together in communities across Canada we can make a difference in the daily lives of women and girls.” The 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence campaign is a tremendous opportunity to draw attention to this problem, and work together to eliminate it, she said. By taking part in the campaign, Canadians are sending a “strong message” that violence will not be tolerated. Gallant pointed out that violence against women is a problem prevalent in communities across Canada, as on average a women is killed in a domestic homicide every five days, and the costs of spousal violence are an estimated $4.8

billion every year. She noted the federal government has recently introduced legislation that will give police and prosecutors new tools to address cyberbullying. This legislation would create a new criminal offence prohibiting the nonconsensual distribution of intimate images.

Violence may observe a moment of silence, attend a vigil, or join in another local event. Doing so will show support for victims of violence, raise awareness and help inspire change, said Gallant. “By working together, we can get closer to our goal of eliminating violence against women TRUCK STOP CAMPAIGN and girls, and make our communities safer for In Renfrew County, the all,” she concluded. federal government has joined with Gail Cameron of Arnprior’s Antrim Truck Stop and Persons Against the Crime of Trafficking in humans (PACT-Ottawa) in a TruckSTOP campaign. That effort combats human trafficking onboard transport trucks. CDs were handed out to truckers to help them spot the signs of human trafficking, and posters were placed in major truck stops. The federal government has also recently funded initiatives by Victims Services of Renfrew County and the Women’s Sexual Assault Centre. Those interested in participating in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender

News – While some did well, it was a difficult time for many hunters this year in the rifle deer season in the first two weeks of November. “The general response by hunters was that it was a harder hunt this year,� said Keith Gourley, chief organizer of the annual Gourley’s Variety and Sporting Goods deer-hunting contest. “The rut started up the second week of rifle (season) but was followed by a few days of rough weather. “Most gangs struggled to get deer this year,� said Gourley. “There was so much natural feed for the deer this year that they didn’t pattern the same as previous years; there was rough weather; and coyotes were running the bush. “We also had more-than-usual bear sightings during the deer hunt.� These factors may weigh favourably for the late-season bow hunt and black powder season, with the full rut on and weather stabilizing. In Gourley’s contest, two hunters tied for the largest field-dressed buck. The 226-pounders were shot by Braedon Roesler of Eganville and Tyler Hanniman of Renfrew. Third place went to Gord Ryan of Dacre with his 216-pound buck. Pat Ryan of Dacre brought down the biggest doe, at 136 pounds, to win a $150 gift certificate and $150 in cash. Gerard Hunt was second with his 126-lb. doe. Tied for second place was Chris Martin. Jason Riopelle of Renfrew shot the

deer with the most points (14). Youngest and oldest successful hunters were Matthew Manion, 13, and John Deshane, 79. Meanwhile, a record registration of 609 hunters took part in the annual Mill Valley Trading buck-anddoe contest. “It was a great two weeks,� said organizer Sharon Hutson, who extended a big thank-you to all the supporters of the event that has run since the late 1990s. “We were amazed we were over last year’s record.� As with every season, some groups met their full quota, while other hunt camps came up emptyhanded.

One of the most successful hunters was Tyler Roesler of Golden Lake who won the contest with a 230-pound field dressed buck. Second heaviest, at 217 pounds were Glen Rhode of Eganville and Justin Lacourse of Griffith. In the doe category, Wayne Visutskie of Eganville was first with a 157pound field dressed deer, Dale Shane of Tooey Lake was second at 150 pounds and Pembroke hunter Dean Visutskie third at 148 pounds. The oldest and youngest successful hunters were Joe Sullivan, 85, and Devin Limlaw, 13.

Peaks season stalled by fire steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Gusting winds hampered firefighters efforts to get an early-morning Sunday fire in the snow-making pump house under control at Calabogie Peaks Resort. Staff was preparing to open the 2013-14 alpine ski and snowboarding season this weekend, but now that’s all changed. Owners Liz and Paul Murphy aren’t nailing down a revised date for the seasonopener, but the delay will be at least a week as efforts continue to refurbish or replace damaged equipment from the snow-making building at the base of the mountain. Cooler, sub-zero temperatures and modest snowfall had facilitated Calabogie Peaks’ move to open the season by this weekend, after investing about $2 million in new snowmaking technology over the last four years. “Our entire hill was covered with pipe and other snowmaking equipment. That was the push, to have the whole hill covered this year,” said Liz Murphy. “We’re very, very sad, because we were going into a week of perfect snow-mak-

ing,” she said. “And the snow made the two days before the fire was beautiful. To be successful in this industry, as you know, you have to have a comprehensive snow-making system, which we do.” Some of the machinery in the snow-making building is salvageable, while some will have to be replaced, added Murphy. The pump house contains the water pumps as well as the electrical transformer and distribution system for snowmaking. “We’re happy no one was hurt. Although it was a significant structural fire, it doesn’t leave a lasting impression,” said Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon. The next steps, said Liz Murphy, are evaluation of the situation, recovery and working hard to get up the ski mountain up and running. The fire call came at 6:07 a.m. Sunday, and firefighters were on the scene by 6:21 a.m. About 20 firefighters from the Griffith or Calabogie stations of the Greater Madawaska Fire Department, and another six firefighters from McNab-Braeside, were on the scene. Renfrew County paramedics were also on-site,

where the firefighters were at first restricted from watering down the fire because of live Hydro One electrical connections to the building. Gusting winds also made the fire problematic. However, Hydro One officials were on site within about an hour of the 9-1-1 call, and quickly disconnected electrical power to the building, says Greater Madawaska fire chief Dave Murphy. The fire chief called the situation highly-electrically charged. Firefighters could only properly tackle the fire with the help of an excavator, that took apart sections of the building so it could be properly extinguished. The owners are also thanking the ski community for its support. “We’re working hard to get things resolved,” said co-owner Liz Murphy, “and we say thank-you for their outpouring of support on social media.” Meanwhile, she says Calabogie Peaks Resort remains open for conferences, weddings, meals and accommodation. “It’s just the mountain piece that is missing right now, but with any luck we’ll be making snow soon.”

TOWNSHIP OF McNAB/BRAESIDE

Sports – Ski areas across Canada are opening their hearts and hills to more than 700,000 4th and 5th graders, with an invitation to ski and snowboard all winter long, All you need is a Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass, which is a coupon card offering 4th and 5th graders three complimentary lift tickets at each of the participating ski areas, all across Canada, including Mt. Pakenham and Calabogie Peaks. With over 150 ski areas on this year’s SnowPass card, that amounts to over 450 days of skiing and snowboarding for $29.95. The Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass program is a ski and snowboard industry initiative that encourages kids to get outside and be active during the winter. Grades 4 and 5 were selected for the program because 9 and 10 years old are ideal ages to learn how to ski or snowboard. “The Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass not only provides a unique opportunity to ‘try before you buy’, it helps make skiing and snowboarding more accessible to families who might not otherwise be able to participate,” explains Patrick Arkeveld, CEO of the Canadian Ski Council, the non-profit organization spearheading the program. “Even if the Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass is only used once, it will have been worth it to the industry if we are providing a child with a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Arkeveld. “However, we hope that once a child tries skiing and snowboarding, they will love the sport for a lifetime.” Now in its 17th year, the Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass Program has already generated over

Five minutes later it would be Braeside native Corey Chaplin finding the net to add to the Packers lead. A few big stops by Miksik gave the Packers more confidence and Marchand found the net to make it a 3-0 Arnprior lead just halfway through the first period. Then Damian Armstrong put the Packers up 4-0 after scoring his team-leading 14th goal just two minutes later. Shawville struck early in the second frame to cut into the Packers lead, but Brayden Harvey restored the four-goal lead, scoring his first of the season on the power-play to make it a 5-1 game. Before the period ended, Patrick McGrath scored his second of the game to put Arnprior ahead comfortably by a 6-1 score. The Pontiacs again scored early in a period when they found the back of the net less than a minute into the third. Shawville would then make it a 6-3 game, scoring on the power-play to get themselves back in the game. Arnprior sealed the victory, however, when Marchand scored his second of the night halfway through the period. The line of Patrick McGrath, Marchand, and Ty Fleming accounted for 13 points in the victory. Fleming, who joined the club after starting with the Nepean Raiders of the CCHL, recorded five assists while both McGrath and Marchand posted two goals and two assists each. Packers goaltender Erik Miksik recorded 28 saves in the victory.

Sandvik employees step up in global fitness challenge Business - In May 49 workers from Sandvik Materials Technology Canada in Arnprior joined a 262,000-strong community of employees worldwide at the start line of the Global Corporate Challenge (GCC). “This event is a huge part of the wellness initiatives offered at Sandvik,� explained Sue McLaren who organized the event for the third consecutive year. Each year the results at Sandvik are astounding, she noted. While the average office person averages 3,000 steps per day, Sandvik employees averaged 19,673 steps a day or 12.59 kilometres a day. Over the course of the 16-week health challenge, Sandvik supported employees in making the small but cumulative choices throughout the day to step up their physical activity levels. Working towards an active lifestyle benchmark of 10,000 steps, the 49 employees walked a combined 107,675,281 steps for an overall distance of 68,912 kilometres in the 16-week challenge.

my absolute dislike for the days Mother put aside to make it! That seemed to happen Spring and Fall. It couldn’t be too hot, or too cold. Winter had yet to settle in that year I remember with such clarity. The summer kitchen was still being used to store things, but soon it would be too cold to be nothing more than a place to pile the wood. And once the snow came, it was through the summer kitchen we went to get rid of as much snow off our feet as possible, before coming into the kitchen. Mother announced at breakfast that morning that Audrey and I were expected to hurry home from school because we would be putting supper on the table. “I’m making soap today,” she said. She had been saving lard from the fried bacon, roasted pork and anywhere else she could find a spoonful or two of fat. By the time the soap day rolled around, about four small honey pails of fat sat on an old table in the summer kitchen at the ready. The tin of Gillette’s Lye was already bought at Scott’s Hardware in Renfrew, and we children were warned every day not to even touch the tin it came in, so deadly it was! “Poison. And it will burn a finger to the bone,” Mother warned. Every time I walked through the summer kitchen, I looked at the yellow and black lettered tin of lye like it alone had started the First World War. The containers Mother used to make the soap were big square black tins, much like the cookie sheets that stood on edge in the bottom of the kitchen cupboard. But these were shallow, and much larger, and as black as your boot. Even before we went to school, Mother would have started into the soap-making. The tins (usually there were at least three in use at a time) were spread out on the old wood table in the summer kitchen. The kettle would be boiling on the Findlay Oval, and Mother would take it to the summer kitchen and half-fill the black tins with hot water. I would always hope we would still be home when she added the lye. I both hated and was entranced with that step in soapmaking. Mother would pry off the lid with a knife and evenly pour the lye over the hot water. And great gusts of steam would come off the tins, not from the hot water which would cool off almost immediately, but from the lye doing its dastardly deed with the water. There was an old wood spoon, with a

very long handle that was used for nothing else but stirring the lye into the water. It had a piece of binder twine through the little hole in the handle, and, when not used for soap-making, hung in the summer kitchen, so that it wouldn’t accidentally be used for something that would be put in our stomachs. The fact that Mother wore a pair of Father’s old work gloves confirmed in my mind how deadly was the lye. We were never around long enough to see the next step, but we knew the little honey pails, which would have been sitting on the back of the cook stove to turn to liquid, would be brought close to the table, and once the lye had been melted into the hot water, the lard would have to be stirred into the mixture. Into one tray Mother would drop in a few drops of vanilla. That tray would be used for our baths and face-washing. My sister Audrey said the hardest part of soap-making was trying to blend the fats into the water and lye. Sometimes it took hours. And I would picture in my mind Mother with Father’s old work gloves on stirring and stirring and making sure not a drop would touch her skin. By the time we got home from school, the big black trays of lye, water and fat, would have gelled and hardened, at least that was Mother’s hope. But sometimes, it seemed to take forever for the pans to set well enough to be cut into bars. And while that was happening, Mother constantly jumped up from the supper table and went out to the summer kitchen to press a finger to the mould to see if it was ready to cut. I could never figure out how the deadly lye could lose its power just by adding water and lard! And when it did (and I questioned the fact), it became the soap we would use in our baths on Saturday night, for washing our hands, shaved into slivers for doing the Monday washings, and for anything else that needed to be cleaned with soap and water. By the time the evening was well on its way, Mother would bring the trays onto the kitchen table, which had been spread out with copies of the Renfrew Mercury, and

with the sharpest knife in the house, she would cut the soap into bars. Sadly, no matter how hard Mother worked to melt the lye, there was always a few pieces left that didn’t succumb to the hot water, and it wasn’t unusual at all, when washing, to have a piece of lye scrape across your body, leaving a scratch like one made by a mad tom cat! My sister Audrey and I and Mother were the only ones to use the soap made with a dash of vanilla, but as far as I was concerned, the vanilla did little to take away the strong smell of Gillette’s Lye. It would be a long time before Mother finally bought a bar of real soap, and it, I thought, smelled just as bad as what she had made. It was called Lifebouy, it was bright red, and even my brother Emerson, who hated the lye soap as much as I did, said the Lifebouy smelled only a bit better than the smell of the cow byre. And it lingered on your body for hours. One day Mother bought a bar of a new soap called Ivory. But it was for company, like Aunt Lizzie when she came from Regina, and when she left, it was wrapped in wax paper, and stored away until her next visit. So all through those Depression years, homemade lye soap was part of our lives, and very much a part of a time in our lives when you made do, or you did without.

Seniors recognized for community service Community – Among the 21 outstanding senior citizens recognized for their community contributions are two from Renfrew County. This year’s recipients of the Senior Achievement Awards in the fields of health, education, sports and arts include a teacher who is keeping music alive in classrooms, a dietitian promoting healthy eating for older adults, a veteran of the Korean War who advocates for urban Aboriginal people and a Holocaust survivor who uses his love for languages to translate works of poetry. The two award winners from Renfrew County are Don Downey of Eganville and Carmel Chartrand of Pembroke. Downey is a respected former teacher and leader who mobilizes his community to start new projects. He convinced community members to create a ski program for local school children and went on to operate it for 25 years. For more than 49 years, he has been a contributor to the Rotary Club. Chartrand is a vocal advocate for local Francophone education and a valued school volunteer. The government is accepting nominations for the next round of awards.

Lifestyle - How often I had begged Mother to find the few pennies it would take to buy just one bar of storebought soap. But there was always a better place for her egg money, she’d say. And besides, there was nothing wrong with the bars of home-made soap she churned out once or twice a year. As well as my loathing for the home-made soap was

Community – Volunteers are the reason the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home (ABMSH) agency has been successful since opening in 1980. They are the reason Seniors at Home is able to continue to offer seniors age 60 and over and those with special needs, no matter the age, a variety of programs designed to encourage independent living and enhance their quality of life. ABMSH continues to grow and so does the need for volunteers. The agency is presently putting out a call for volunteers in the areas of: reception, delivery of Meals on Wheels, telephone security, friendly visiting, foot clinic and income tax preparation. If you would like to become a part of the team, a team that makes a huge difference in the lives of those they serve, following is a brief description of the above mentioned programs that are in need of volunteer help. Reception - Volunteer receptionists work Monday to Friday one day a week, either the morning shift of 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or the afternoon shift of 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. The main duties include answering the phone, dispatching drivers, assisting staff requests and greeting the public (Lisa Bottomley). Meals on Wheels - Volunteers are required to deliver hot meals to designated clients one day a week from 11 a.m. to noon. The meals are prepared by the kitchen staff of The Grove nursing home. Drivers are required to pick up at The Grove and deliver to the individuals’ homes (Lisa Bottomley or Patti Jennings). Telephone Security - A dedicated volunteer is carefully linked with a client. The volunteers spend the required time as requested by the client encouraging and reassuring them of any concerns they may have of loneliness or isolation. These particular volunteers may call daily, weekly or as often as the client wishes (Lisa Bottomley). Friendly Visiting - As a friendly visiting volunteer, you would be matched with a client wishing to have someone visit them in their home on a regularly basis. After the relationship is formed, you may want to go for a walk, go out for coffee at a local establishment or any activity that encourages social integration into the community for the client. You are their ‘friend’ and in many cases a lifetime of friendship is created (Lisa Bottomley).

No pets for Valley woman News – An area woman has pled guilty to two counts under the Ontario SPCA Act and been banned from owing an animal for 20 years. In a news release last week, the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals reported that Carol South of the Renfrew area pleaded guilty in court Oct. 25 to filing a false report to the Ontario SPCA and for animal cruelty, regarding cases from 2011. The SPCA testified that on Oct. 13, and 18, 2011, it received calls from a woman who claimed she was concerned for the welfare of a Chihuahua-type dog. The woman alleged that the dog was being physically and sexually abused by an Eganville man. An Ontario SPCA officer attended the man’s home and concluded that the allegations were false. An investigation into the report was launched and evidence revealed that South was the caller. In addition, on Nov. 7, 2011, an Ontario SPCA officer responded to a complaint about animals in distress on South’s property. The officer observed a thin hound-type dog chained to a dwelling without food or water. The dog’s ribs and backbone were very prominent. On the property there were also 30 chickens that had sustained pecking wounds not indicative of normal molting. In addition, officers found a warren of mixed rabbits and two donkeys with very long hooves. Orders were issued by an SPCA officer. However, the SPCA maintains that South failed to comply with the orders. After pleading to the two counts, South received an order to pay $545.66 in restitution to the Ontario SPCA. She also received a pro-

hibition order from living with, caring for or owning an animal for 20 years. “We encourage members of our community to come forward with concerns for animals that they themselves have witnessed,� said SPCA senior inspector Larry Wilkinson. “However, if a false complaint is made, an investigation into the caller making the false complaint will be conducted.� The Ontario SPCA reminds pet owners that if you have concerns for the welfare of your animal there are alternatives other than allowing it to go without adequate care. Contact the local Ontario SPCA officer to discuss available services. To report animal cruelty, call 1-888-668-7722 or email a concern to cruelty@ospca.on.ca. In another, Valley case, Patricia Belanger and Peter Larocque of Petawawa pleaded guilty to one count under the Ontario SPCA Act on Oct. 21. SPCA officers had testified they had found several dogs living in poor conditions on Larocque’s property. Large piles of building materials were present in the area where the animals were kept, including broken glass and material with sharp metal edges. One of the dogs was secured to a building with a heavy chain wrapped around its neck, another dog was severely matted, and a third dog appeared to be underweight. “If providing for an animal in your care becomes difficult, it’s important to take the appropriate steps to ensure that the animal’s health isn’t compromised,’ said Wilkinson. “Contact your local Ontario SPCA, humane society, or veterinarian to see what options are available.� Larocque and Belanger were fined $800.

Community - We’ve been keeping winter coats stuffed in their summer closets like it would somehow delay winter. Not surprisingly, winter is still making its way in; the crunch of frozen puddles and wandering snowflakes under street lights make it hard to ignore. We’ve finally stopped clinging to warmer temperatures and longer days, and are embracing the frosted windows, warm cups of tea, and layers of clothing. Believe it or not, this letting-go and embracing is part of a practice of yoga. Yoga is not about contorting bodies into jaw-dropping arrangements of limbs. It is about slowing down. It is about observing how we feel, and how we think.

It is about breathing, about calming the mind. When we think of it this way, the pretzel-poses begin to sound easy. Calming our minds in a busy world is not easy but has incredible ripple effects on our health and the health of our community. Over the summer, as part of its commitment to giving back to the community, Rising Lotus Yoga raised $735 for the Arnprior District Humane Society and $500 for Constance Bay’s Sandhills Project by offering weekly classes on the beach. STUDENT DONATIONS

Students donated what they could, dedicating their yoga practice to a good cause. “It’s a part of my summer that I look forward to all year,�

said one student. “Practicing yoga outside has become a new way for me to enjoy the outdoors, and I love that I can do it while contributing to a greater cause, and with other people who are doing the same.� With the donations, the humane society was able to strengthen its ability to care for abused, abandoned and neglected animals. As memories of summer fade with the daylight, we are already thinking ahead to the 2014 Karma Yoga program. If you know an organization in the community that could use some support, please let us know. In the meantime, please visit the Rising Lotus Yoga studio or website to learn more about who we are, what we do, and why we do it.

Snowmobile trail pass Hydro ‘cash grab’ threatens clubs: MPP discount deadline nears Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - The deadline for savings on this winter’s snowmobile pass is this Sunday, Dec. 1. For the first time this season, 2014 snowmobile trail permits are available directly from the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) and their volunteers or from clubdesignated retail outlets across the province. The OFSC reports it has sold almost 42,000 permits, more than any previous year. The fact about 40 per cent of sales are for first-time buyers has also surprised the clubs. There are two permit types available. Seasonal permits are available from clubs on or before Dec. 1 for $210, a saving of $50 off the regular permit fee of $260. Snowmobilers purchasing online at www.ofsc.on.ca can save an additional $7.50, thanks to no charge for seasonal permit processing fees until Dec. 1. Any snowmobiler owning a sled that is model year 1999 or older is entitled to buy a 2014 classic permit. Primarily available online for $140 on or before Dec. 1, a classic permit offers a saving of $30 off the regular fee of $170. Classic permits are also available

on a limited basis at retail outlets. Both the seasonal and classic permit allows access to available OFSC trails anywhere in Ontario for the entire winter. OFSC member clubs operate over 30,000 kilometres of snowmobile trails throughout Ontario that rely on the revenue from the sale of permits to pay operational costs. The trails generate almost $1 billion of winter tourism economic impact annually, while enabling family riders from all walks of life to enjoy winter by visiting many places and sights only accessible by snowmobile. OFSC trails are marked, mapped and maintained for the use and enjoyment of permit holders. Ontario law requires any snowmobile entering an OFSC trail for recreational sledding to display a valid permit. OUTLETS

Among the local outlets selling permits are Arnprior Sportland, Mather’s Insurance, Arnprior Valley Rent Rite, Robbin’s Confectionary in Braeside, White Lake General Store and the Cedar Cove Resort on White Lake. For more information on 2014 snowmobile trail permits, visit www. ofsc.on.ca.

News – An NDP MPP is calling an Ontario Hydro plan to force snowmobile clubs to pay for access to hydro corridors a cash grab that threatens the existence of community not-for-profit clubs across the province. “Ontario Hydro has announced that it will cut off snowmobilers from using trails in hydro corridors unless they pay half of the property taxes on that land,” reported Algo-

ma-Manitoulin MPP Michael Mantha to the provincial legislature last week. “Needless to say, snowmobile clubs do not have the funds to cover property taxes for hydro corridors, and there is now talk that the province wants the cash-strapped municipalities to cover the cost in an effort to download.” Mantha said this latest move is one of a series of actions by the Lib-

eral government that threaten access to trails and parks across Ontario. “This government has shut down trails and parks across Ontario, shut down tourist information stations and restricted access to crown land, and now wants to restrict winter recreational activities for Ontarians,” said Mantha. “This just isn’t right.” He called on Premier Kathleen Wynne to step in and stop the new fees from being implemented.

Grant received to improve snowmobile corridor Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - A successful grant application to the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) will allow improvements to the snowmobile corridor along the abandoned Canadian National railway line between Arnprior and Renfrew. There are about 11 kilometres of trail between in Horton west of the McNab-Braeside border. The west portion, the Millennium Trail, extends southeast of Renfrew and through the intersections of Lime Kiln, Whitton, Goshen and Yantha roads. The OFSC grant was received after Andy Kenopic applied on behalf of OFSC’s District 6. Benefits of the grant, explained

Horton Coun. Glen Campbell, will include brush-hogging to provide 20 feet of clearance (from the centre line of the trail) on both sides. Brush-hogging will also provide clearance 100 feet wide at each of the trail’s intersections. These wedge-cuts will narrow to 40 feet at the trail. There will also be funds to repair trail signs, said Campbell. The work is being contracted out to GP Splinter of Pembroke. The grant will also supply gravel for grading and fill on the trail bridge overpass behind Thompson Trailer Park. Following the brush-hogging, volunteers will ensure that removed vegetation and branches that are not turned into sawdust will be removed from adjoining properties.

A chipper can accommodate tree branches up to eight inches in diameter. The grant is “going to give us a cleaner and more open trail, and increased safety for users,” said Campbell. By cleaning up the trail, perhaps the township can also consider using the venue for scheduled recreational activities, he added. During summer months, large cement blocks prevent vehicle access to the trail, but Campbell said a second grant application will be made to fund lighter-weight gates. The concern has been expressed that those unfamiliar with the area may not see these concrete slabs if driving in poorer lighting conditions, before or after the snowmobile season.

Celebrating 10 years of Early Years programming The Ontario Early Years (OEY) system is celebrating 10 years in service in Renfrew County. Across the county all OEYs held a system-wide circle time to celebrate their anniversary and National Day of the Child. On Nov. 20, families gathered at the OEY-AFPRC with donations to the food bank, participated in a circle time at 11 a.m. and made a group craft to give to the residents at the Arnprior Villa in appreciation for all they have done in the lives of children. Above, the Lacey Davis and her son Jayden, left, and Emily and Vivian Freda gather in front of the artwork for the Villa.

ACCESSIBILITY – DID YOU KNOW? When talking with a person who is deaf or uses a hearing aid, talk directly to the person, keeping eye contact, even when a sign language interpreter is present.

Events - If you haven’t already purchased a ticket for the inaugural St. Andrew’s Day Medieval Feast, time is running out. The feast on this Friday, Nov. 29 at the Masonic Hall in Arnprior kicks off at 7 p.m. Last-minute tickets can be purchased by calling either 613623-3614 or 613-432-6271. Tickets cost $25 each; children under 12 get in free. Those who attend the feast are in for a veritable feast of the senses - the hall will be decorated in medieval style, with the feasting table arranged in the traditional horseshoe shape. FIVE COURSES

The five-course meal will be served on bread platters (edible down to the last bite) and the only utensil available will be a knife. Servers dressed in monk costumes will be at diners’ disposal. Between each course you will be entertained by musicians, all under the able direction of Bill Connelly.

Lanterns will provide ambient light. What else can you expect? As each guest enters the hall, he/ she will be introduced by name to those who have already gathered. The lord and lady of the feast - Rev. and Mrs. Leo Hughes - will preside over the proceedings. So why a St. Andrew’s medieval feast at all? It seems fitting to celebrate our Celtic roots, as many of us can trace our heritage back to the English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish or Scandinavians. St. Andrew’s Day, which falls on Nov. 30, honours Scotland’s patron saint. For those of you who didn’t know this, the flag of Scotland, known as St. Andrew’s Cross or the Saltire, became a national symbol for the Scots. The Saltire was flown on Scottish shops and used as the logo of Scottish banks, on Scottish coins and seals, and displayed at the funerals of Scottish kings and queens. This medieval feast is being organized by the newly formed McNab Celtic Heritage Society.

Youth summer jobs to be funded

Brownie group welcomes 16 newcomers STACEY REID/SUBMITTED

R0012438902_1128

The fourth Arnprior Brownie unit welcomed their newest members on Nov. 11. Sixteen new girls were enrolled and the seven returning members welcomed them in the annual ceremony. In back, from left, are Erica Yuck, Lindsey Box, Danica Hassen, Charlotte Armstrong, Dayna Liebig, Anna McMaster, Naomi Daley, Sydney Laprade, Maybel Hinchley, and Anna Burnette; in the middle are Hannah Rochon, Marisa Bradley, Billie Fitchett, Ashley McCorkell, Kiona McLaughlin, Gracie Bradley, Paige Schnob, Ja’Dace Mann and Paige Hodgson; and in front are Celeste Hill, Isabella Parlee, Grace Currie and Aria Alessio.

News – The federal government will start accepting applications for the Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program Monday, Dec. 2. The application period will remain open until Jan. 10. The new timelines were implemented so successful employers will be notified sooner and have more time to recruit students. Funding opportunities are available to not-for-profit organizations, publicsector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees under the CSJ program. Applicants must create summer job opportunities for people aged 15 to 30 years, who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the next school year. “If you have hired a student in the past, you know how productive it can be for your organization to have summer help,” Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant in a news release reminding employers of the impending program. “If you have not hired a student before, I encourage you to consider applying for CSJ funding to hire a student for next summer.” Meanwhile, Ontario is also expanding its summer jobs program. The province is increasing the number of program spaces available to youth entrepreneurs to provide 850 young people, up from 661, with mentorship, training and grants of up to $3,000.

Winter driving takes extra care, cautions OPP News – With the onset of frigid weather, the OPP have issued a reminder to motorists to remain attentive while driving on highways this winter. The biggest concern for winter driving is speed, maintains the OPP. “Please slow down.” Speed too fast for road conditions is the number one cause of winter collisions.” The OPP shared the following safety tips:

• install four winter-rated tires; • keep all windows and lights clear of snow; • give yourself more time to get to your destination in foul weather; • leave extra space between yourself and the other vehicles. “Please remember to slow down and keep a safe distance between other vehicles,” urge the OPP. “Let’s all be responsible in keeping our roadways safe this winter.”

How sweet it is: The ugly truth about sugar Ian Harris RNT

ROUTES AVAILABLE!

Opinion - Why is sugar toxic to the body? In 1957 Dr. William Coda Martin tried to answer the question: When is a food a food and when is it a poison? His working definition of ‘poison’ was: “Medically, any substance applied to the body, ingested or developed within the body, which causes or may cause disease.” Dr. Martin classified refined sugar as a poison because it has been depleted of its life forces, vitamins and minerals. In other words, sugar has absolutely no nutritional value and, therefore, does more harm than good to our minds and bodies. What is interesting about sugar is that it is a substance that we are taught to enjoy. When a child is born it does not know of the taste of sugar until introduced to it. Sugar is sugar is sugar! Although honey, maple syrup, blackstrap molasses, etc. are

Weight management, wellness and nutrition considered more nutritive than white or brown sugar, the truth is that they are and will forever be just another form of sugar. Did you know that ingesting sugar shuts down our immune system for hours allowing illness and disease such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer to proliferate, all this from ingesting sugar. Is it really worth it? All of the large food manufacturers think so and they spend a lot of time and millions of dollars developing strategies to get you to buy their products and one of the ways to do it is by tempting your sweet tooth. What can we do to fight back! Learn to read and understand food labels that are designed to confuse us. Stay away from pre-packaged and processed foods. Eat out once in a while and stay away from fast food joints and

buffet houses. You’ll not only save your life, but you will also save money. In addition to sugar, most pre-packaged and processed foods contain copious amounts of sodium and fat, which can also cause illness and disease. A habit takes about 21 days to break, so why not try staying away from refined sugars and processed foods for that time period and you will never look back and your mind and body will thank you for it. What should you eat instead? Enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables, foods containing whole grains and fiber, lean animal protein, low fat dairy products and at least eight eight-ounce glasses of water per day. Ian Harris of Arnprior is a registered nutritionist, wellness consultant and personal chef. He holds many other certification and specialties within nutrition and specializes in weight loss and management. He can be reached at 613-863-6325.

Enjoy Christmas experience at Galetta area tree farm Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Community – They promise it will be an adventure, just not like the one made famous by the Griswold family on hunt for the perfect Christmas tree. “If Clark had come to a real Christmas tree farm he wouldn’t have had those problems,” Mark MacGowan said from his home just outside Arnprior, laughingly. “We would have given him a real saw.” At MacGowan’s Christmas Tree Farm, folks are offered more than just the chance to pick out and cut down their own tree. Mark and his wife Marsha offer the complete package. From a bonfire with hot chocolate and cookies to hay ride across the farm, MacGowan’s turn the hum-drum chore of purchasing a tree or wreathes into a fun-filled family event. “It really is an experience,” Marsha said. “To see the kids running around saying, ‘Let’s take this one; or this one’. The whole family has a lot of fun.” Last year was a soft opening for the Galetta area farm. Just a couple of hundred trees were sold, but importantly the kinks were worked out. Now MacGowan’s offers a few related products like tree stands, ornaments and baler machine that shakes off needles. It’s been a 10-year process to get this start up off the ground, said Mark, a high tech specialist. Although the Christmas Tree Farmers’ Association helped guide them through the stages, it never really turned into the retirement hobby he expected.

Mark and Marsha of MacGowan’s Christmas Tree Farm offer a unique twist on the traditional tree purchase. They welcome customers to their Galetta area farm for a bonfire, hot chocolate and cookies, and a hay ride before tree-cutting time. DEREK DUNN/ METROLAND

“It’s surprisingly intensive. You think you’ll plant a few trees and come back and cut them down. You have to touch, prune and sheer every tree,” he said. “We planted 24,000 trees. You are scouting and looking for buys and will have to spray. Luckily we haven’t had anything like that. But every year it’s something different.” MacGowan ‘knocks on wood’ that weather and infestations won’t affect his fledgling crop. This year, the selection is large and impressive. Each tree, both spruce and balsam, sell for $45 – just because at MacGowan’s they don’t sweat the small stuff. “Most people have no idea

that one takes longer than the other to grow. They just like the tree,” Mark said. “It’s what they do, how they decorate it with their family ornaments that makes the tree. People don’t often get a chance to drive out here. They want to make sure it’s worth it.” When they relocated to 4611 Mohrs Rd., Mark and Marsha were warmly welcomed to the rural community and are giving back where they can. A touching letter of thanks came last year from a family that won a tree donated to the Kinburn Christmas Craft Fair. The family might not have afforded one otherwise.

Carp gears up for annual Christmas Farmers’ Market Theresa Fritz Theresa.fritz@metroland.com

Events – Looking to find that unique gift for someone special? Look no further than the Carp Farmers’ Christmas Market. The annual holiday tradition finds itself at the Carp Fairgrounds Friday, Dec. 6 from 3-8 p.m., and Saturday, Dec. 7 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. According to market manager Ennio Marcantonio, the Christmas market really has become a “destination market” for everyone looking to enjoy everything about a farmers’ market but with a Christmas spin. Coupled with

the historic fairground setting in downtown Carp, the market is a big draw for shoppers and tourists alike. “It is truly local Christmas shopping with over 60 local producers, free admission and free parking and a free draw,” Marcantonio said, adding the market is wheelchair accessible and will feature an international food court. Every year the market gets a little bit bigger and this year is no exception with 66 vendors filling up 86 booths. They include 25 vendors of farm products, 19 vendors selling prepared foods, 19 offering arts and crafts, and three food concessions.

You can find everything from toys to truffles, jams to jellies and everything in between. Feel free to use a visit to the market as the perfect time to pick up your Christmas tree from the West Carleton firefighters from fire station 84 Corkery. Their booth will also include fresh wreaths or swag for holiday decor. Attendees are asked to consider bringing non-perishable food times for the West Carleton Food Bank. For more information, visit carpfarmersmarket.com or find the market on Facebook and Twitter.

God looked around his garden, And found an empty place He then looked down upon this earth And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never, Get well on earth again, He saw that the road was getting rough, And the hills are hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace be thine” It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

You can only have one mother Patient kind and true; No other friend in all the world, Will be the same to you. When other friends forsake you, To mother you will return, For all her loving kindness, She asks nothing in return. As we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall, Of a face so full of sunshine, And a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus, take this message, To our dear mother up above; Tell her how we miss her, And give her all our love

In memory of our beautiful mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Hazel Martin, who passed away on November 29, 2010

We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday. And days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. Now all we have is memories. And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake. With which we’ll never part. God has you in his keeping. We have you in our heart.

Community – Who wants a plain old holly, jolly Christmas when you can have a splendid Pakenham Country Christmas this year? Back by popular demand, the Pakenham Business and Tourism Association is again hosting its day of old-fashioned country holiday fun this Saturday, Nov. 30 beginning at 9 a.m. “The idea is to have an old-town Christmas like they would have had years and years ago,” said PBTA representative Christine Whaelan. The second annual Pakenham Country Christmas event is a full day of holiday themed activities and shopping in the heart of the village. Starting at 9 a.m., the Centennial Restaurant will host its Breakfast with Santa where kids can enjoy a hot breakfast with the jolliest elf of them all.

Then, at 10 a.m., a craft fair will be set up in the gymnasium of Pakenham Public School. There you can find handmade gifts and slash items off your Christmas lists. “The whole day is a great holiday shopping day,” said Whaelan. “We had a lot of people tell us last year that they got a lot of gifts for people on their lists and for themselves.” While children might have already told Santa what they hoped to get for Christmas at breakfast that day, a letter-writing station will be set up from 10 a.m. to noon in the school’s lobby so they can put in a formal application. Love That Barr will also be hosting Santa that day, for lunch at noon. But they aren’t the only business to participate. “So many of the businesses take part in the event,” Whaelan said. “They got great feedback from last year.” Throughout the day, businesses in

Pakenham will be participating in a town-wide scavenger hunt. Each will have one of Santa’s nine reindeer; the goal for locals is to figure out which business has which reindeer. “It should be a lot of fun,” Whaelan said. “I think kids will really love it.” The day will wrap up at 4:30 p.m. with a tree-lighting ceremony, caroling and hot chocolate with the Pakenham Horticultural Society at the park by the 5 Span Bridge. “People said last year that it felt as if you were visiting with their neighbours that day,” Whaelan said. “We were really pleased with that.” The event is set up to feel like an old-time Christmas, where a community would gather to celebrate together, Whaelan said. With so many several things going on around town that day, it can be hard to keep track: for a full itinerary with times and locations, visit the Pakenham Country Christmas Facebook page.

Newly-bound book captures local history Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News –Women’s Institutes (WI) are known for monthly get-togethers at any given member’s home for tea and talk and the sharing of domestic medicinal tips and have always been important in at least one more aspect: local history. Women’s Institutes were and are responsible for compiling news clippings, birth, death and wedding notices, and small stories detailing life in the immediate area. The stuff academic historians didn’t have the time to compile. It wasn’t until the Governor General of Canada, Lord Tweedsmuir, took notice that the elements were brought together in books named after his history-aficionado wife Lady Tweedsmuir. The Tweedsmuir Community History Books vary in form from a simple scrapbook to an elaborate series of volumes bound in leather, wood or a more formal blue-and-gold cover. A few survive from various communities in the valley, including a recently bound one called Fitzroy Township Antrim WI Tweedsmuir History. It is in the possession of Olive Turner, whose mother Wilhelmine Greene and neighbour Mary Colton put the book together between 1944 and 1954, have captured a glimpse into the common person’s life going back to the turn of the 20th century. Turner remembers attending WI meetings with her mother. They were friendly affairs with just a touch of competition. No matter whose home you were in, you were guaranteed

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Olive and Allan Turner sit down to flip through the newly-bound version of the Antrim Women’s Institute folk history book of the western side of West Carleton. Historian Terry Currie said the Tweedsmuir books were the only recorded history for many smaller rural communities throughout the province. the best tea set. She also remembers why her mother took a leading role in compiling the Antrim book. “She was just really interested in local history,” said Turner, who lives on Upper Dwyer Hill with her husband Allan. Without her initiative, dozens of pages of history would be lost. “These are stories that are recorded nowhere

else,” said local historian Terry Currie. “I really enjoy the handwritten accounts of historical facts. Some of these books talk about what it was like before the railway, things like that.” He said many in the modern world of a global economy where people hop provinces as easily as they hop countries for work have no idea what it was like when life was more stable and smaller.

It isn’t unheard of that people were born and died in the same bed. Families lived on the same road for generations. They knew each other well, which is why not bringing shame to the family name was held so high; individualism was viewed as an unseemly form of greed. Tweedsmuirs are comprised of a variety of information and often include a history of the local WI branch; earliest settlers in an area; agricultural practices and individual farms; industries that formed the basis of the local economy; social institutions and public buildings, such as churches, schools and community centres; and local personalities, such as war veterans. A quick glance through the Antrim book reveals Carp Review clippings from 1910, and family names such as Lunney, Sparrow, Flemming, Dean, Carry, Cavanagh, Ross, Hudson, Owens, Stewart, Dickson and McQuatt, some of whom remain prominent area families to this day. There is a characteristic hand-written account of a grandmother who muses aloud to her children that perhaps it is time to get rid of the old wood stove in the kitchen. The adult children protest, saying where will she hang mittens and warm feet? She eventually relents, saying, “Cookery by modern methods is impersonal, but with the old woodstove it remains one of the fine arts.” Today’s pragmatic-minded reader is left to ponder what she meant by “impersonal” and cooking as a “fine art.” Currie said the Ontario Genealogical Society and similar groups are attempting to digitize Tweedsmuir books and make them available on the Internet.
