M-B cuts levy to 8.5 per cent John Carter
John.carter@metroland.com
McNab-Braeside council wrapped up two weeks of painful budget deliberations Dec. 3 with a bottom line that councillors feel they can support. Council held a half dozen budget meetings to whittle the township property tax levy increase from 14.7 per cent to 8.5 per cent. Councillors stressed that 5.1 per cent of the boost is for OPP costs, so the increase for all other township operations is 3.4 per cent. “That was a tough go,” sighed Coun. Heather Lang after almost four hours of cutting items from the budget Dec. 3. Council went over sections of the budget twice, cutting $100 here and $50 there as it struggled to lower the levy. During the meeting the levy dropped from 12.7 per cent to 9.1 to 8.5 per cent.
It was difficult as many of the items dropped are fairly high on the priority lists of council and staff. The only resident at the meeting, Martin Wright, said during question period that while he appreciated council cutting back the levy, he feared deferring some of the projects could “come back to bite us.” “It doesn’t look like next year will be much better,” he said. “I fear putting things aside … then nothing gets done.” “We’ll do our best not to let that happen,” said Mayor Tom Peckett. “But no one here is ready to raise taxes in the double digits.” Noting that the OPP costs will add another 4.1 per cent to the tax levy next year, he suggested ratepayers should be taking the issue up with their provincial politicians. See FACT, Page 5

Bruno returns for Pet Pics Bruno, the mastiff boxer with the distinction of being the dog who stayed the longest at the Arnprior shelter, returned with his owners for Pet Pics with Santa on the weekend. France and Bruno Lauzon adopted Bruno in May 2014 and said he is doing very well. “He’s the greatest companion,” said France. “He’s awesome, happy and energetic.” Bruno now lives in Barrhaven and France said they enjoy returning to Arnprior each December for the pet pics event.

Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack came within one vote of being elected warden of Renfrew County Tuesday. Stack was edged by incumbent Warden Peter Emon, the reeve of Renfrew, 9-8 in a vote by county councilors. Emon will serve his fourth term as warden in 2016. Emon was nominated by Bonnechere Valley Mayor Jennifer Murphy. It was seconded by May-
or John Reinwald of Laurentian Hills. The nomination for Stack was moved by Reeve Debbie Robinson of Laurentian Valley and seconded by Reeve Glenn Doncaster of Deep River. Renfrew County CAO Jim Hutton observed that both individuals were competent and capable to lead the County of Renfrew as warden and this was reflected in the close outcome of the vote. Emon thanked his mover and seconder and acknowledged the
contributions of Stack and called upon all councillors to unite to make the County of Renfrew a county all residents can be proud of. Stack thanked his mover and seconder for their support, as well as expressing his appreciation to those who voted for him. Stack said he is looking forward to working with Emon in 2016 as well as all the county councillors and noted that he will be back seeking the warden’s position for 2017.

Free Christmas dinner offered for 7th time derek.dunn@metroland.com
The highly popular free Christmas dinner at Nick Smith Centre is a go again this year. For the past seven years, Tracey Climo and Erica Slater have organized the Dec. 25 event. It includes a home-cooked meal of turkey with all the fixings, plus other hearty foods, and homemade desserts. The free meal is made possible by the gener-
ous support of numerous community members who have donated food, money or their time. Local business and the town have been particular generous, Climo said. “(Recreation director) Glenn Arthur donates the hall every year,” she said. “And it’s all done by donation; businesses have been fantastic.” Climo’s flower shop, Mel’s, and Slater’s bake shop, Slater’s, are among those participating. Both are accepting donations

right up to meal time at 5 p.m. “We’ll accept everything right up to the end,” Climo said. “Some people like to donated cash for their meal. We put that money right back into next year’s.” She insists the dinner is for everyone. For those who can’t afford to make a nice Christmas dinner, they are welcome. For those too old or sick to make dinner, they are welcome. For those wanting
companionship on a day of goodwill toward others, they are welcome. “We just don’t want anyone to be alone on Christmas.” Interestingly, the dinner used to be served on rows of tables. Organizers found participants were gravitating toward groups they were familiar with. They wanted to encourage more mingling and getting to
Mission. (Arnprior has no equivalent able to accept it.) She admits the dinner makes for a lot of work during a time when others are looking to unwind. But she has the Christmas spirit to fill her with energy. “It’s definitely a busy time of year for us,” Climo said. “It’s the thing that makes me feel best about the whole year.” Doors open at 4 p.m.

Hydro bill credit offered to low income families There is some relief available for some Ontarians if their hydro bills become too onerous this winter. Arnprior Coun. Dan Lynch points out that a recent Association of Ontario Municipalities advisory received by council notes the new Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP) is accepting applications to help make electricity more affordable for low-income families who qualify. The program was developed by the Ontario Energy Board and is designed to lower electricity bills through an on-bill credit. Starting Jan. 1, eligible consumers will receive an on-bill
credit of between $30 and $50 a month. To qualify, applicants must receive an electricity bill and meet certain household income thresholds. Consumers are encouraged to apply online at OntarioElectricitySupport.ca or call 1-855-831-8151 for more information and to be connected with a local intake agency for application assistance. Eligible consumers can expect the credit to appear directly on their bill about six to eight weeks from the date their application is approved. More than 90 community groups are ready to help consumers apply.

McNab-Braeside Council will vote on the budget at its Dec. 15 meeting, where it is expected to pass. However, Coun. Mark MacKenzie suggested that the approval of the budget be delayed until council has more time to discuss ways to increase revenues to further decrease the levy. Council was voted in to keep taxes low, he said, adding it owes it to constituents to thoroughly discuss all options. Among the items not included in this year’s proposed budget is $50,000 requested by FACT-MB to help with its Ontario Municipal Board quarry hearing costs and another $25,000 asked for by two individual appellants. After debating the issue, council finally agreed that it couldn’t justify the increase such an allocation would have on the levy. “If not for the OPP 5.1 per cent, the vote might have gone the other way,” noted Lang. Wright urged council not to pay for something that only benefits a maximum of 150 township ratepayers. “Everyone else is against it,” he said. Peckett responded by saying that FACT played a major role in obtaining an OMB hearing that could potentially have saved all McNabBraeside residents thousands if not millions of dollars if the water table had been compromised. The township would have been on the hook to provide clean water to residents at great expense if something had happen to their water, he said. MacKenzie said that it would
have cost all township residents if property values went down and dropped tax revenues. FACT “fought hard for everyone in the township,” he said, adding “I don’t think this is the end of it … they could ask again next year.”

New French Catholic elementary school to be built on Baskin Drive Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The new French Catholic elementary school will be located across from AJ Charbonneau School on Baskin Drive near Stonehaven Way. The Conseil des École Catholiques du Centre-Est (CECCE) held a public information session on the proposed school in Arnprior Dec. 3. About 25 people came out to the Arnprior Public Library, which actually exceeded expectations of the school officials. “We had Arnprior on our priority project list,” said Réjean Sirois, director of education and secretary treasurer for the CECCE. Sirois noted that the Ministry of Education gave funding because the school was given a high priority. The new school can take up to 248 students from junior Kindergarten to Grade 8. There will also be 49 places in a daycare for those
up to four years old. The project will cost $8.5 million. Much of the Arnprior presentation was bilingual. People also shared their thoughts on what they felt the school should be like – fully accessible for one. “Arnprior’s projection (is that) it is a booming community,” said Sirois, making the costs of the construction viable in the long term. “It will reduce times as kids are already being bused into Kanata and some parents just don’t want to put them on the bus for that long.” The school has a targeted opening of fall 2017.
Émile Maheu, executive director of the Conseil des École Catholiques du Centre-Est, discusses thoughts about the French Catholic elementary school planned for Arnprior. SCOTT CAMPBELL/ METROLAND

‘Tis the season for giving T
he holiday season is in full swing and along with the joy, fun and sweetness of the season comes the chaos, stress and endless tasks that can at times be overwhelming. There are plenty of examples of the boundless generosity of the community - food bank donations, an Opportunity Shop silent auction sale for Arnprior Regional Health, employees who band together to help the less fortunate, businesses with their own holiday giving projects. It is, indeed, a time for the community to come together in support of one another. And not only are those in need getting help, the helpers can bask in the glow of their good deeds. There are plenty of ways to lend a helping hand. The Arnprior Food Bank, of course, can always use monetary donations or non-perishable food items. The Salvation Army kettle campaign is another way to support those in need. The Child Poverty Action Network’s snowsuit drive helps keep kids warm. Mitten trees, where you can donate winter gear, are locat-
ed at several local banks. The Children and Family Services angel program, Karen Cavanagh’s Families Helping Families are two important ones. And of course, two women and their friends host the annual free community Christmas dinner Dec. 25 at the Nick Smith hall. Stories have appeared promoting each, and will continue to do so in your community newspaper. However, to help those in need you don’t necessarily need to give money. Most community organizations could use more volunteers. The Arnprior Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home organization reminds the public that for some seniors, Christmas can be a time of sorrow. Some have loved ones living far away and not able to come home and some may have limited mobility to get out to take in a festive event. Home support suggests you take a moment to share the joy of the season with a senior, whether it be a neighbour or a drop-in visit to a retirement home. Giving and sharing is a gift in and of itself.

icle-Guide and Renfrew Mercury on Nov. 26. We recognize and appreciate that municipalities across Canada are concerned about the cost of policing. The OPP is working continuously to be as effective and cost-efficient as possible while offering excellent value for the services it is mandated to deliver to the province and municipalities. The previous model was introduced almost 17 years ago and inadvertently resulted in a system where similar municipalities were paying vastly different amounts for police service. In fact, some municipalities were paying less than $10 per year

per household while others were paying more than $800. The current billing model eliminates the huge differences municipalities were paying for policing by more equitably redistributing costs. Better data
It also provides municipalities with data so they can better understand the types of calls in their community and direct crime prevention strategies. After extensive community engagement, study and planning, and clear direction from the Auditor General, our government introduced a fairer, more trans-
parent billing model, which took effect Jan. 1, 2015. The new billing model was developed after more than two years of consultation and discussion with municipal and policing partners. The government held consultation sessions with 229 municipalities, as well as receiving advice from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario OPP Billing Steering Committee. Changing the billing model does not impact the total cost of policing. It simply reallocates the cost. We do recognize this will increase costs for some municipalities, while decreasing costs for

others; therefore, the new model will be phased in over five years. The current billing model phase-in strategy will be gradually introduced over five years and provide for fiscal stability and accountability for municipalities and the province. At the same time, municipalities will continue to be responsible for any increases in the cost of policing outside of the current billing model. The average per property cost for the municipalities in the Renfrew County after the phase-in has been lower than the provincial per property average for 2016 ($352) and 2015 ($357).

Gallant: get the facts straight To the Editor: This letter is in response to ‘Don’t call people concerned about refugees racist: MP,” which appeared in the Nov. 26 Chronicle-Guide. Where is Cheryl Gallant getting the idea that the government is going to bring in 100,000 Syrian economic migrants and refugees? We’re only talking about refugees here and the government is talking about 25,000 across Canada, not all coming to Renfrew. She asks why Christian Syrian refugees are not being given priority. Well, why in our country, which is very multicultural and multi-religious, are Christian Syrian refugees more legitimate
OPP compares favourably Continued from page 8
At a cost of less than a dollar a day, the average per property cost of Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) services compares very favourably to those of other municipal police services in the province and will continue to do so in 2016 and beyond. Accurate, fair and informed discussion is essential if we hope to develop long-term solutions to keep policing affordable. Additional Information on the OPP billing model is available on the OPP website at www.opp.ca. M.M. Bedard, Superintendent Commander Municipal Policing Bureau
than others and should be given priority? All are fleeing from terror and destruction and living in horrid conditions we can’t even begin to imagine. She needs to be plunked down in a refugee camp and see what it’s like. NO REFUGEES AT PETAWAWA
Gallant seems to have the idea that Petawawa is just going to be flooded with refugees. To my knowledge, they have already picked out the garrisions where refugees will initially go and Petawawa was not mentioned. Maybe she needs to check out her facts before she gives advice to people asking questions. Otherwise, she’s leaping to conclusions and fearmongering. The government has gone overboard to reassure Canadians that multiple layers of screening will be done before refugees come to Canada. And then she goes on about Petawawa and Pembroke being short of doctors and psychologists. Well, we’re all short of doctors and psychologists in part because of the policies of the Conservative government. This is something the Liberals are going to have to do - undo all the damage that was done. Some of these refugees will be well educated and may become doctors. Five or seven years from now, they may become doctors and we may have them in Renfrew County because we were kind enough to sponsor a family. And then Gallant went on about gridlock caused by people trying to get in and out of Petawawa. Apparently, it’s going to be exacerbated or caused by the influx of refugees and we will need infrastructure dollars to solve this problem. This is a problem at the feet of refugees? That should prevent us from welcoming refugees? Hopefully, people who have questions about refugees will contact people who are better informed than Gallant. Carolyn Edson Renfrew

In his letter of Dec. 3 (Chronicle-Guide), Mr. Tony Eitzen refers to Mrs. Gallant as “The Right Honourable Member of Parliament for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke.” In order to have the privilege of being called ‘The Right Honourable’, the person in question must have been appointed to the Queen’s Privy Council. With that appointment, the title of ‘the Right Honourable’ gives that person the title for life. Mrs. Gallant has been a backbencher MP during all her years in Parliament.

Committee tackles variety of topics: flying lanterns to ORVs derek.dunn@metroland.com
The chairman of the operations advisory committee has presented Arnprior council with results of its activities this year. Coun. Ted Strike heads the committee that makes recommendations on infrastructure strategies, capital projects, engineering/ environmental matters, public works, policing, emergency management and fire services. At the Nov. 23 council meeting, Strike provided details on the group’s meetings beginning with one in early April. The committee received the public works and fire departmental overview and work plan. Work plans are developed based on annual priorities set by council through the annual budget and strategic plan process. The committee received a presentation on the water/wastewater annual report as infor-
mation. The committee received an OPP statistical report as information. The committee received a presentation on the emergency management program committee structure, and agreed to act also as the emergency management program committee for the Town of Arnprior. The committee received the terms of reference as well as the council code-of-conduct for information and review. At the June meeting, the committee received a presentation on water and sewer services and provided a number of suggestions. It also received a presentation on firefighter recruitment and training as information. The committee received a presentation on flying lanterns and suggested a ban bylaw be put in place. Council would eventually approve the bylaw, brought forward by the fire department. Among the items discussed at the October
meeting were public works capital projects and a water and sewer services recommendation for council: charge 50 per cent cost recovery, over five years, for scans requested by the public. The committee also received a presentation on off-road vehicles (OVR). Changes to the Highway Traffic Act in July allow more ORVs on local roads to encourage tourism and permit connectivity to other municipalities. However, ORVs are not permitted on municipal roads in Ontario unless there is a by-

Warm weather offers mixed blessings
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way As the oriole is eating apples and there are lots of apples in Pakenham, it should be around for some time. The question is whether it would survive a severe cold snap, which would normally happen sometime soon. I selfishly hope it survives until Boxing Day, for that is the day of the annual Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count. A Bullock’s Oriole would be an exciting addition to our count, and a highlight for
all counts taking place in eastern North America! So for that oriole (and our local bird count), a warm December would be a very good thing. A warm month would also result in more open water than usual. This bird count will be my 50th consecutive (!), so I have seen tremendous variation in the amount of unfrozen water on Boxing Day. Sometimes extremely cold temperatures resulted in all water being frozen except for fast flowing sections of the Mississippi River in Galetta and Pakenham. On a few occasions, warm Decembers allowed the Madawaska River Headpond and parts of the Ottawa River to remain open. Open water results in water birds, and new or rare species are usually tallied in warm Decembers. A warm month means a lack of snow, and seed-
eating birds benefit when a blanket of white doesn’t hide seeds on the ground. SNOW AS WARMTH
But other animals don’t fare quite as well when December temperatures remain above zero. Small mammals depend on snow cover for warmth. If the temperature plunges when there is no snow cover, mice and voles have lower survival rates. Of special concern are certain frogs. Spring Peepers, Gray Tree Frogs, Chorus Frogs, and Wood Frogs sing in early spring after spending the winter frozen in soil. They depend on stored glycogen to carry them through to spring when they perform their Lazarus acts. If warm temperatures prevail when the frogs would normally be frozen and dormant, some of their stored chemicals could be used up. And even in a warm December, the food that could al-

As Gray Tree Frogs spend the winter frozen in the ground, an unusually warm December could lower their chances of survival. low them to replenish those stores would not be found. Thus, their survival could be jeopardized. Only time will tell if the Bullock’s Oriole will survive or if the Madawaska Headpond will remain unfrozen. Regardless, Boxing Day
will arrive and with it comes the Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count. If you are interested in participating, please feel free to contact me. The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Over the past week, there has been much excitement in Pakenham. Every day, starting at dawn, people armed with binoculars and cameras have been roaming its streets. These were not undercover agents searching for terrorists, but birders looking for a Bullock’s Oriole that has taken up residence in that quaint village. Ray Holland and Richard Waters discovered the oriole, a southwestern species that barely reaches western Canada. It was a young female, which looks near identical to a young female Baltimore Oriole, so only after experts examined photos was its identification made certain. Since then, hundreds of birders from across Ontario and beyond have come to view it. I have been twice but only achieved brief looks, so I plan on returning.

Local birders to join in 116th annual Audubon Christmas bird counts
HOWARD ROBINSON
A Great Horned Owl seen during last year’s Carleton Place Christmas Bird Count.
Birders and nature enthusiasts in West Carleton, Arnprior, Pakenham, Almonte, Lanark Highlands and surrounding areas can join citizen scientists throughout the Americas and participate in the Audubon Society’s longest-running wintertime tradition, the annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC). The Arnprior-Pakenham bird count will take place on Boxing Day (Dec. 26) and the Carleton Place count will be held on Sunday, Dec. 27. The Renfrew count will be held Dec. 19, the Lanark Highlands count Dec. 30 and the newly reorganized Rideau Ferry count is set for Dec. 19. Thousands of individuals will participate in counts throughout the Americas and beyond between Dec. 14 and Jan. 5. Bird Studies Canada and partners at the National Audubon Society in the United States rely on data from the CBC database to monitor bird populations. The CBC tradition began over a century ago when a conservation minded ornithologist, Frank Chapman,
along with others, were becoming concerned about declining bird populations. On Christmas Day in 1900, Chapman proposed a new holiday tradition to take the place of the traditional Christmas Day ‘Side Hunt’ competition to shoot the most birds and small mammals. Instead, Chapman proposed a ‘Christmas Bird Census’ to identify, count, and record as many birds as they could, founding what is now considered to be the world’s most significant citizen-based conservation effort. The first Audubon bird count in Carleton Place took place in 1944, while the Arnprior-Pakenham count has been going for at least 50 years, as that as how long count leader Michael Runtz has been involved. Volunteers are essential to the success of the CBC. You don’t need to be an expert but it helps to be familiar with local bird species. In any case, participants in the field counts will be placed in a team led by an experienced birder; everyone
is welcome. You will need a pair of binoculars. As well, residents with bird feeders within a count area can help by listing all birds at your feeder or in your yard on the count day. Last year, nearly 4,100 Ontarians participated in 114 Christmas Bird Counts. They recorded an astonishing 178 species and 1,394,498 individual birds. Here are some highlights: • Cape Crocker count participants recorded 1,417 individuals, nearly double the number recorded the previous year. • Three new species were added to the St. Catharines count: cackling goose, trumpeter swan and Harris’s sparrow. • A total of 347 snowy owls were recorded across the province, with the highest number (48) occurring in Kingston. • Rare sightings included a white-eyed vireo in Toronto, a western tanager in Kingston and a Eurasian tree sparrow in Niagara Falls. • Long Point boasted the highest species total at 107.

Focus on, families, not climate change: MP “I am looking for an early Christmas, not a lump of coal when Parliament opens,” Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant said last week prior to the new Liberal government’s speech from the Throne. “My constituents tell me their concerns are health care, employment and the fear of rising taxes,” she said in a news release. “All we are hearing is talk about the climate. No one is telling me that is their first concern.” Reacting to the news that the official Syrian migrant greeter in Montreal will be paid $1,800/day, up to $110,000 over a three-month period, Gallant said she had many constituents who would be happy greeting newcomers for that amount of money. “Christmas came early for that Liberal supporter,” she observed. Before Parliament has even sat, new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has already spent $2.6 billion on a UN Climate Fund and has committed spending $300 million/year on a fund to find technological ways to replace the jobs lost to UN Climate Fund schemes, said Gallant. This spending is in addition to the billions committed to bringing Syrian migrants to Canada, she added. “While Trudeau is busy pledging financial aid to end poverty in Vietnam and developing APEC countries, he needs to worry about the plight of Canadians,” she said. Gallant urged Trudeau to break some of his ‘foolish promises” such as “making illicit drugs more available to children by selling pot in corner stores.” The speech from the Throne should instead focus on families and seniors, she said.
Municipal Land Transfer Tax plan dropped The possibility that Ontario municipalities could have given into the temptation of levying a land transfer tax in an effort to add revenues to lighten the residential property tax load has been eliminated. The provincial government decided last week, after hearing weeks of protests from realtors, home owners and Opposition members, not to give municipalities the right to levy the new tax (Toronto is the only municipality that currently imposes the tax). Renfrew-Nipissing-Pem-
broke MP John Yakabuski called the decision a “major victory” for home owners, relators, new families, and the public at large. Yakabuski was responding to an announcement in the Legislature by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing that the government is not proceeding with the Municipal Land Transfer Tax (MLTT). If it had passed, the tax would have added roughly $10,000 to the cost of buying a house all across Ontario, noted Yakabuski.
“As was seen when it was introduced in Toronto, it would have negatively impacted families and would have further dragged down the province’s already struggling economy,” he added. “This is a huge victory for homeowners in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke and all across the province” said Yakabuski. “ The tax was opposed by provincial organizations such as the Ontario Home Builders’ Association (OHBA) and the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) as well as the
ANTRIM TRUCK STOP
general public. Yakabuski remarked that over the last month his office has received hundreds of e-mails from concerned constituents asking him to support PC MPP Steve Clark’s motion to stop the tax - something that he was more than happy to do. “This is a significant reversal from a government that usually can’t say ‘no’ to a new tax” said Yakabu Most municipalities had indicated they wouldn’t be imposing the tax even if they were given the right to do so.

Soldier tunic comes home to Arnprior and District Museum charged in 1919 and became a Canadian National Railway freight agent in Arnprior for 40 years.
Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
A patrol jacket, or tunic, once owned by a well-known Arnprior First World War soldier is coming home. John Cameron Yourt presented Major John Clarence Irvine’s military tunic last week to the Arnprior and District Museum. It will likely be part of a ‘Arnprior on the world stage’ exhibit the museum is planning in February. Major Irvine was born in 1899 and was 72 years old when he died at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. Yourt first crossed paths with him when he joined with the Lanark Renfrew Scottish Regiment as a piper. “It was somewhere in between 1954 and 1957,” says Yourt. “I vaguely remember him giving it (patrol jacket) to me.” The patrol jacket dates back to 1928. Yourt, now living in Winchester, decided it was time it came back to Arnprior. He made the donation to the Arnprior and District Museum on Nov. 30 to curator Janet Carlile. Yourt credited Irvine’s daughter, Lynette (now in Texas), friend
BACK TO WAR
SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND
John Cameron Yourt donates a patrol jacket - or tunic - of an Arnprior soldier, Major John Clarence Irvine, to the Arnprior and District Museum. Curator Janet Carlile accepts the jacket, which dates back to 1928. Brian Carroll and Neil Stewart and others from the archives for making the donation happen. “I wore the tunic quite proudly,” says Yourt. “The jacket was mostly worn for social functions and semiformal affairs.”
Yourt included his own kilt to complete the look of the uniform. There are many stories about Major Irvine, according to Yourt. He was 16 when he enlisted in the military (like many soldiers he lied about his age). He served overseas
in the Ninth Battery, Canadian Garrison Artillery and battled in the trenches in France and Belgium, although his war time ended when he was wounded at Vimy Ridge. Major Irvine eventually was dis-
His stint with CN was broken up when he went off to serve in the military again in 1940. Major Irvine was a member of the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, but stayed in Canada during the Second World War. He looked after the single largest training centre in Canada. He was finally discharged in 1946. Major Irvine was also a charter member of the Arnprior branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. He was given a military funeral service. Carlile noted the museum exhibit about focusing on Arnprior on the world stage. The museum has received a $32,000 grant to revamp their military display. The new exhibit will focus on various Arnprior personalities from the Boer War, First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. While uncertain as yet how the newest donation will be displayed, “we are pleased to have the (tunic) in the collection,” said Carlile.

There are no grinches to be found in the Lavigne family. For the eighth year, the Lavignes have been collecting gifts for area children in need in the Arnprior area. The Family and Children Services of Renfrew County supply the list of gift requests through an ‘Angel’ program organized by employee Buffie Rathwell. The families are vetted but kept anonymous, explained Rathwell. The child is only recognized as a number, gender, age and their wish list. The Lavignes do not know who the families are either. This year was the largest ever, as there were 62 children to collect gifts for this Christmas Kert said if it wasn’t for
sponsorships from the community and businesses, none of the gifts were even be possible. He gave credit to BMT Fleet Technology, Jericho Tax, Stanley Black and Decker/Instantel, Rexall Arnprior, Petro Canada Ottawa and Canadian Tire Arnprior, as well as Arnprior Uhaul, which provided the truck to transport the gifts for delivery. The work started two months ago. Kert and his wife Kirsty noted that people in the community get quite excited about the project. They are asked months in advance if they plan to continue with the Angels program. “I just wanted to give back. Eight years ago there was no supply for needy children,” said Kert. “It’s been phenomenal. In the eight years we have never missed a child.”

Some day we hope to meet you, Someday, we know not when, We shall meet in a better land And never part again.
Sadly missed along life’s way, Quietly remembered every day. No longer in our lives to share, But in our hearts he’s always there. We always knew the full extent, Of what our fathers’ love had meant. We realize how blessed we’d been To have had a Father just like him.
Dearly missed by family and grandson Daniel

Whirlwind of emotions for newly named Packers coach scottcampbell@metroland.com
It’s been a time of mixed emotions for Packers interim head coach Barry Cape. He’s spent the last year and a half with the Arnprior hockey team as an assistant alongside Bill Griese and Glenn Arthur. “The firing came as a bit of a shock,” said Cape, referring to the ouster Nov. 23 of the three coaching staff. “I know (team owner) Marco was not happy with the Thursday (Nov. 19) night game (3-2 shootout loss against Ottawa West). I thought it would all work out over the weekend and stay the status quo.” Obviously, it wasn’t the case. Being told he was fired and then asked to stay was tough to
understand, noted Cape. “It was a difficult decision,” he said. Cape sought out Griese’s blessing before agreeing to take on the post. He decided to accept the opportunity of head coach because he’s had a good relationship with many of the players. He’s coached quite a few when they were around five or six years old. Dean Galasso and Brent Carty have joined Cape on the bench as his assistant coaches. The first set of games since the changeover was not perfect, in Cape’s assessment. The coaching change was a bit of surprise for the players. Cape notes the goaltender duo of Peter Brooks and Matthew Dods continued to be
Win and overtime loss for Packers Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The Arnprior Packers took three of a possible four points this past weekend. The Packers outshot the Clarence Beavers and pulled off a 4-2 win at home on Friday night.
Jacob Steege and Dean Galasso started the scoring for the Packers. Newcomer Bailey Hein scored in the second period before Clarence finally got on the board. Patrick McGrath solidified the Packers win with a tally in the third. Liam Poirier gets the star for biggest helper, as he picked up three assists over the course of the game.
standouts for the team. As well, players Isaac Perreault, Jack Rouleau and Mitchell Sennett have had strong games. “It was tough (the first) week, but I am getting excited, now that the dust has settled,” said Cape.
The surprise changes for the Packers have kept coming in the past week, as the team lost Brooks. The star quality goaltender who has given his team plenty of chances to win in the first part of the season has moved up to the Junior A level. On Dec. 2, the Packers announced Brooks will play with the Central Canada Junior A Kemptville 73’s. Packers GM Brent Sylvester confirmed Brooks would be remaining with
Kemptville for the rest of the season. The move shouldn’t be a surprise, as the Central Canada Tier 2 hockey league was formed this year to replace the Junior B Eastern Ontario Hockey League as a development loop for the CCHL. “In the long-term I believe (the league change) will stabilize a lot of the franchises and continue to push kids to the next level (Junior A hokcey),” Sylvester said back in the summer before the new season started. Brooks has been replaced by 18-year-old Eganville goalie Patrick Kealey, a graduate of the Ottawa Valley Titans program who has played five games in the CCHL with Kanata and Carleton Place. Kealey played his first game for the Packers Sunday, making 28 saves in the 3-2 OT loss to Westport.
Goaltender Patrick Kealey got his first start in nets Sunday, when the Westport Rideaus came to town. He acquitted himself well as the game stretched into overtime. The problem was with the scoring front. It wasn’t until the third period when Arnprior finally managed to get a couple of pucks passed Westport’s Michael Cullen. Galasso and Brayden Harvey were the goalscorers. Galasso, with 13 goals and 18 assists, con-
tinues to be one at the top Packers for goals and assists, just behind Chris King (16-1733). It didn’t take long for the Rideaus to take advantage in the extra period. Taylor Henry scored just 11 seconds into overtime. The Packers will be on the road for the next set of games with trips to top division teams Perth and Stittsville this weekend. The Packers’ next home game is on Sunday, Dec. 20 at 2:30 p.m. against Brockville.

Arnprior Curling Club honours Isobel Munro for her achievements Sandra Tait
Arnprior Curling Club
The Arnprior Curling Club hosted a curling bonspiel followed by a dinner and dance on Nov. 21 to recognize the curling achievements of one of their beloved curlers, Isobel Munro. Munro turned 90 years young in March and the curling club decided to honour her curling achievements by way of a Curling Recognition Bonspiel. In addition to her many curling achievements, Munro has served her Arnprior community well. Isobel (nee McNab) was born and raised on a farm near Waba. She graduated from nursing at the Ottawa Civic Hospital in 1946 and then came to work at the Arnprior Hospital where she served for 40 years, rising from staff nurse to become the director of nursing. Munro has been a member of the Arnprior Curling Club for 67 years and has proudly represented Arnprior, becoming one of the best curlers to come out of the Ottawa Valley. In 1968 she was the vice on a team that won the Ontario Mixed Curling Championships and in 1973 she skipped her Arnprior ladies team consisting of Thelma Lindsay, Geraldine Macklem and Vyvienne Johnston to a win at the Ontario Curling Championships. They followed up with a bronze medal at the Canadian Curling Championships that same year in PEI. Additionally, Munro has won many
other local and Eastern Ontario curling championships over her illustrious 60 years of curling. Arnprior Mayor David Reid was on hand at the bonspiel in her honour to present Munro with a Certificate of Honour from the Town of Arnprior and the Ottawa Valley Curling Association sent a letter acknowledging her curling success through the years and recognizing her as one of the most distinguished curlers to come from the Ottawa Valley. The bonspiel was full with 12 local teams and four out-of-town clubs competing for the Munro Bowl. The winning team was Arnprior’s Russell and Karen Oatman with their guests Andy and Maureen Broder from the Granite Club. In second place was Isobel’s son, Steve Munro, with his daughters Holly and Mauryah and son-in-law Rich Durocher. More than 100 folks attended the evening festivities, honouring Isobel’s many contributions and then enjoying a delicious dinner catered by Krave Bistro. The Curling Club, including Munro, thank its members and the many community sponsors who contributed gift certificates and prizes to make this a wonderful recognition event. Note: The Curling Club has recently renovated their banquet hall, so please consider renting it for your Christmas party, wedding, stag and doe or family celebrations: visit the club’s website at www.arnprior.ovca.com for more information on curling and hall rentals.

She was also was vice on a mixed team that won the gold at the 1968 Ontario Mixed Championships . Munro celebrated her 90th birthday this past March and continues to be a strong supporter of the curling club. Isobel Munro and Isobel Munro Recognition Bonspiel convener Sandra Tait.

Afghan vet pays visit to Army Cadets Christmas bazaar Ottawa city councillor and Afghanistan veteran Jody Mitic was a special guest at the 2360 Army Cadets Christmas bazaar Sunday at the Arnprior Legion. Mitic, who lost both his legs to a landmine in Afghanistan, answered questions from cadets and bazaargoers and signed copies of his book ‘Unflinching: The Making of a Canadian Sniper’. He also posed for photos with fans. He told the crowd that the Canadian Armed Forces are leading the way when it come to addressing
mental health issues for soldiers. The Americans and other countries are following Canada’s lead when it comes to treating post-traumatic stress syndrome and other mental health problems, he said. He also said that he feels the Allies should consider putting “boots on the ground” in the Middle East if they are to defeat ISSL. When a member of the audience thanked him for his service to Canada, the room erupted into applause. Mitic was invited to the event by bazaar organizer Leah Edwards.
Top photo, posing with Afghan veteran, author and Ottawa city councillor Jody Mitic, from left, are cadets Bombadier Paul Bourbonnais, Sgt. Benjamin Dagg, Master Bombadier Jessica Currie, Bombadier Paul Bruyere, civilian support staffer and former cadet Kyle Edwards and the squadron’s captain Rob Dufour.

Arnprior hospital tree lighting ceremony switches things up
R0013571845-1126
The annual tree lighting ceremony at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital switched things up for its 16th year. Intead of having a family pull the switch to light the trees as in the past, all the sponsors lit a tree in front of the hospital. That allowed patients and staff who couldn’t come outside to take part, as they were able to watch from their rooms and hear the carols sung by the St. John XXIII student and Arnprior Community choirs. Arnprior Regional Health CeP Eric Hanna thanked everyone for attending the Dec. 3 event. “I would like to say
a special thanks to the Partners in Caring Foundation – this is a tremendous event that you folks undertake every year,” he said. “We look to various people in the community to provide exceptional leadership and sponsorship for events like this.” Canadian Tire was the lead sponsor and associate dealer Jerome Taylor had the honour of lighting that tree. “I’m honoured to be here tonight,” said Taylor. “We are very happy to support our local community efforts and we are especially happy to support Partners in Caring and Arnprior Regional Health.” More than $245,000 has been raised by the community.

Shilo excels at world dock diving championships Shilo is back in the Arnprior area from the most exciting event of his life, the World Dock Diving Championship in Dubuque, Iowa. Melanie Wilson and Shilo thank all of you who supported and cheered for Shilo. Many have seen the articles about this amazing four-year-old farm bred mix of Chocolate lab, Husky and Border Collie. At the Worlds, Shilo again showed his extreme passion for dock diving. There were more than 422 dogs invited this year, from
all over the U.S., Canada, Australia and England. It is a prestigious event and is by invitation only. Debuque celebrated with galas, parties, an evening telecast of the finals and photo ops. Shilo was not only invited, but he made the worlds for all four events. This was his first year at the championships. Being in a large facility with four pools going on at the same time didn’t deter him in the least. He came in eighth in Extreme
Vertical in high flyers, the highest category, which ranks him as the eighth in the world. He came in 15th in Masters Big Air, 23rd in Speed Retrieve and fourth in dueling dogs out of 121 dogs, missing the third-place podium by .100th of a second. He got to meet a lot of new friends and everyone is really proud of him. Just last week Team Shilo won two awards from Rideau dock Dogs: Best Top Gun Team and Top Turbo Team. Wilson, his handler, also received an
award for Sportsman of the Year. Again, Team Shilo thanks all of the people who made this possible, especially Avalon Ranch in Horton for introducing them to this wonderful sport.
Christmas is for dogs too The Ottawa and area German shepherd dog club had a float in the Arnprior Legion Santa parade Nov. 28. Large crowds lined the parade route. As well as dogs, the parade featured horses and plenty of smiling faces. PETER CLARK/METROLAND

SOLSTICE RUN/WALK
Friday, Dec. 18 is this year’s date for the annual Solstice Run and Walk. While Dec. 18 is not quite the precise date of the true Winter Solstice (Dec. 21), the long dark night and the ever shortening hours of daylight are a stark reminder that winter is approaching. Since ancient times people railed against the darkness with torches, yule logs and eventually the Christmas tree itself. It obviously worked, because the days started becoming longer. “In the Bleak Midwinter” was no more. Today the approach at Galilee
Centre is a little more modern. Runners and walkers will dress in Christmas or Solstice themed attire, adorn themselves with lights and reflective gear, and either do a 5-km run or a 2.5-km walk along the streets of Arnprior. A stop at East Side Mario’s for free hot chocolate is obligatory, but other than that, it is a rule-free run or walk. Everybody, of course, should be safe and mindful of road and weather conditions. After the run or walk, everybody retires to the splendidly decked out Galilee Centre for the now traditional Solstice Meal: Lentil Soup, Cesare Salad, two types of chili, bread and the famous Galilee Carrot Cake. There will be prizes for the best costumes, prizes for all the kids and the singing of carols. Fourth annual Solstice Run and Walk, 6 p.m. Galilee Centre, 398 John St. N, food bank donations welcome, $25 per person, $60 maximum per family. Tickets and registration forms at the Nick Smith Centre and Galilee Centre (613-623-4242, ext. 21).

A Renfrew man faces charges after a stabbing in an Arnprior home Saturday.

The victim was treated for his injuries and released from hospital. A 34-year-old Renfrew man was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He was held in custody for a bail hearing on Dec. 9 (after press deadline). He was also charged under the Trespass to Property Act with failing to leave a premise when directed to do so.

Police warn public about Canada Revenue Agency scam and is simply enjoying her breakfast when the phone rings ... a call from the 613 area code (Ottawa): CRA Imposter: Mrs. Smith? Mrs. Smith: Yes, who is this? CRA Imposter: This is David _______ (an Anglophone surname) of the Canadian Revenue Agency. You owe money on your taxes going back seven years. Mrs. Smith: I don’t understand how that could be, I pay my taxes every year, I am a good person. I did not get any form of notification. Can you please tell me again what is wrong, I can barely understand what you are saying due to your very strong accent. CRA Imposter: Do not play games with me, you owe the CRA $17,000. We sent you notification in the mail, two months ago; as you never responded we are going to have you arrested, we have a warrant for your arrest. Mrs. Smith: This must be a mistake, I will call my daughter, and she will help clear this up. CRA Imposter: (Now very agitated and yelling) NO ... you will call no one, you will tell no one, you are in a great deal of trouble, if you tell your daughter she will be in trouble as well. You must pay the $17,000 now,

or you will go direct to jail. Listen to my instructions, otherwise we will have a RCMP agent at your house to arrest you. Do you undersand? Mrs. Smith: yes CRA Imposter: Get your SIN card, your driver’s license, your bank cards, and your cell phone, now, what is your cell number. Mrs. Smith: I do not have a cell phone, and I do not drive, can I call my daughter? CRA Imposter: (agitated and yelling) You are not very bright, and you are in a lot of trouble. I told you not to tell anyone. I will get a taxi to drive you to the bank; the taxi will be there in 10 minutes. I will keep you on the phone, until the taxi gets there, as you have shown that you can’t follow simple instructions, our agents will be following you. You are to go to the bank, take out $17,000, return home, and I will call you with additional directions, do you understand? Mrs. Smith: Yes, but I am not feeling well. CRA Imposter: Just do as I say, and everything will be ok. Mrs. Smith: The taxi is here now. CRA Imposter: Remember, we will be watching you. ‘Mrs. Smith’ went to her bank, and for-
tunately her banker intervened. The police were called, and they spent the next three hours convincing ‘Mrs. Smith’ that she was a victim of the CRA scam. VICTIM RATTLED
In this scenario, ‘Mrs. Smith’ was one of the lucky ones, as she did not lose any money, but none-the-less this experience left her very rattled. The elderly are one of many groups who are being targeted by these fraudsters. If you are reading this, we ask you to do your part in sharing this message to everyone and educating the seniors in your life against this type of fraud. This is a fraud that is being perpetuated coast to coast, and has impacted victims from many different age groups and cultural backgrounds. If you or a family member has fallen victim to this fraud, report to your local police service, as well as the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) either by phone at 1-888495-8501 (9 a.m. - 5 p.m.) or through their online reporting tool at http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/reportincident-signalerincident/index-eng.htm.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is warning the public of an ongoing scam by imposters claiming to be Canada Revenue Agency employees. Several people in Arnprior and area have reported receiving calls from scammers claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. An Arnprior man visited the ChronicleGuide last Thursday to say he had been contacted by a scammer who went by the name of Brian John. He was left \ a voice mail, but was immediately suspicious. He said his brother in Foresters Falls as well as friends in Pakenham and Renfrew received similar calls. They were told not to disregard the call and call back as soon as possible. If they didn’t, “the only thing I can do is wish you good luck as the stituation unfolds on you,” the caller said. The RCMP have issued the following as a realistic portrayal of a scam that has been seen by investigators. This approach is one of many used by fraudsters. Imagine your 91-year-old grandmother is sitting at her breakfast table, she lives alone,

ting things out of the Philadelphia Enquirer or writing in her diaries. Emerson was hard at his drawings ... big glass buildings, with elevators going up the outside. Everett and Earl loved to whittle ... and if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a new slingshot, it was little animals, or just sitting with their red-handled jackknives working away at a smooth piece of wood. Audrey, of course, would be either reading, or working away at putting French knots and daisies on the edge of a flour bag tea towel. Father kept well away from us over at the Findlay Oval with his feet up on the oven door, and the Ottawa Farm Journal scattered around him on the floor. DOMINO DILEMMA
The first night, after I had laid claim to the dominos, I set them out before me on the table. I had no idea what I was going to do with them. And then I decided to stand them up, one after the other ... not
touching, but close together. There they were, all lined up in one straight line. I accidentally touched the one at the very end, and, right before my eyes, that one connected with the next one, and so on, until they were all laid flat on the table. To me, it was sheer magic! It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take me long to start all over again. And then I got very creative. I curved the line of dominos, I formed a circle, and touched the end one, and as if they were running on gas, down they went. Each one felling the one next to it. Well, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for Emerson to slide over on the bench and demand the dominos. He said because Aunt Freda hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said who they were for, anyone in the family could play with them. Mother reminded him he had passed them up when the parcel was opened. And the dominos were mine, and that was final!  I never did learn how to play dominos properly. As a matter of fact, I had no desire to learn the game they offered. To me, it was far more fun, to sit at the old pine table on an evening, set them up in different shapes, tap the end one, and watch them fall down like soldiers. Of course, I had to print a letter
to Aunt Freda and thank her. I never did tell her how her gift of dominos filled many an hour around our kitchen table on a cold night out in Northcote. Interested in an electronic version

It came in the mail. Just a long narrow box. Bright red. There was nothing else in the parcel, just the box. That, in itself, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual coming from Aunt Freda in Chicago. We often had no idea what she was shipping out to the farm at Northcote, and if we could figure it out, seldom did we have any use for it. Take the silk kimono she sent Father. First of all, he had never seen a silk kimono before in his life, and when he undressed at night, it was to immediately get into bed in his long underwear!  Or the radio she sent one year. It came in a large box filled with coils, wires, a brown wood box, and several other things, all of which made no sense at all until Uncle Alec came over across the 20-acre field and said it was a radio, which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter anyway, since we had no electricity on the farm to run it.  So it was packed up and put in the shed. Now here was this red box. Mother was the only one who knew what it was, since she had seen plenty of them in New York. Inside the box, packed tightly and as neat as a pin, were little black pieces with dots imbedded in each one. Mother said they were called dominos. She said they were big in New York, but, unfortunately, she never learned how to play them. Emerson looked them over, and decided they should go out in the shed with the radio. Everett and Earl had no intention of learning to play something called dominos, which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like much fun to begin with. Of course, my sister Audrey was long past playing games with us kids. When the Thoms sisters came, or Alfred from the Barr line, that was a different story. And so, I laid claim to the box of black tiles with the white dots on them. I folded up the instructions, and put them way back in the knife drawer of the back-to-wall cupboard, never to look at them again. But I liked the look of the little black tiles, and they were smooth in my fingers, and I laid claim to them without further ado. Now, every night, without fail, we sat around the old pine table, each of us with his or her own interests at hand. Mother, of course, was either cut-

Local artist’s new prints commemorate area heritage It’s been a busy year for local artist Paul Perreault with the release of two new paintings. Earlier this year he released prints of his recent painting commemorating small town cinematic heritage with ‘Opening Night’. The scene is set in the year 1966 and the John Wayne flick, ‘Eldorado’ is opening in the O’Brien Theatre on John Street in Arnprior. “I really wanted to paint the theatre as I remember it growing up with the marque and the neon glow of the O’Brien sign,” says Perreault. In the scene you can see a father dropping off his teenaged daughter while a young man waits inconspicuously in the wings hoping he won’t be noticed by dad. The painting also features some classic vehicles of that era with a ‘61 Corvette driving past and a ‘66 GMC truck parked out front. Perreault says he’s happy to be able to do a painting of a heritage building in Arnprior that the community enjoys to this day. “If not for the extraordinary efforts of the current ownership, this iconic building may have been lost forever,” he notes. Perreault’s most recent release is called Evening Train’. In this painting, he hopes to broaden his audience with this downtown Ottawa heritage scene. He wants to take the viewer back to the age of steam train transit in the heart of the nation’s capital. The scene takes place along the world famous Rideau Canal at Union Station as a sleek CN U-4a class Confederation locomotive pulls into the station. This train, no. 6400, was

Paul Perreault’s ‘Opening Night’. a futuristic showpiece of its time with its streamlined design being showcased at the World’s Fair in New York in 1939. Two travelers take in the fall coloured vista of the canal and parliament buildings, set against an evening sky. Canada’s War Memorial is seen peaking above the maples at the water’s edge where the National Arts Centre now stands. Union Station was shut down and the tracks removed in 1966 when Ottawa’s train station was moved outside the
city core to its current location. The station was nearly demolished, but it eventually found life as the Government Conference Centre, hosting several events of both national and international significance. The steam engine depicted can be visited to this day at the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa. The painting includes another ghost of Ottawa’s rail history as an electric street car passes over the bridge heading for Rideau Street. Both of these paintings

Photography club welcomes new members to weekly meetings Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The Arnprior Photography Club has been around for two or three years, but only now is word getting out. “It’s just starting to grow,” said member Pat Newton. “Interest is going to grow as more people learn about the club.” About 14 members are with the group that meets every second Wednesday, 7 to 9 p.m., at the public library. A wide range of abilities and interests are involved, from those who prefer nature photography to those who like portraitures. Even the respective Sony and Nikon purists come together. Newton said with today’s digital cameras there is an almost endless array of options and techniques. Throw on top of that the wonders that software can do with photos on the computer, and there is no shortage of tips and tricks to be shared at every meeting. “There is a wide range of experience from beginners to some very knowledgeable people,” Newton said. “The focus is on sharing and teaching each other
and going out and shooting locally.” The group pick a spot to walk and take photos, then discuss the results at a future meeting. Colleen Dontigny said the photo club is “a diverse group of creative individuals” who have helped her become a better photographer. “It’s a welcoming environment where I feel that even though the demographic is so vast we are all united by a common interest and passion,” she said. “It’s a great way to spend every second Wednesday of each month.” Carol Carter enjoys sharing and learning from others. “The enthusiasm of members has helped me learn new techniques, experience new places when we go on outings, and share my photographs with others,” Carter said. “We seek input from members when developing meeting content. Over the years, I have gained the courage to try new things as I continue on this photographic adventure.” The club is free to join. Show up at a meeting or follow them on Facebook at ‘Arnprior Photography Club’.
Photographer Pat Newton has learned about digitally enhancing pictures from the photo club. This cluster of leaves is among his favourites.

Colleen Dontigny celebrates the diversity among participants in the Arnprior Photography Club.
A Christmas celebration in story and song A new Christmas concert debuts this year featuring three talented performers who all call the region home. A Christmas Celebration in Story and Song features many seasonal favourites combined with stories about the songs and features Lisa Webber, James Hrkach and Mike McCormick. There will be two performances; the first at Braeside United Church this Friday, Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. The second will take place at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church in Renfrew on Monday, Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. Christmas is a time of family, friends and especially music and is celebrated all over the world. “We want to not only sing some of our favourite songs of the season, but tell many of the stories behind these songs. How and when they were written or interesting things that happened around the song.” says McCormick. “However, we won’t hog all of the singing; we’ll do some old favourite carols and invite the audience to join in.” These three individuals have wide ranging experience in music, theatre and education. Webber is a voice teacher, choral conductor and professional mezzo-soprano. Originally from Alberta, she moved to Ottawa where she received a Master’s of Music in Vocal Performance. Once in the Ottawa Valley, she founded the Arnprior Summer Music Camps, the Arnprior Community Choir, Two Rivers Musical Productions, the Ottawa Valley Girls Choir and an exciting ladies ensemble, ‘Tutti’. Hrkach is an artist/educator who works from his Studio for the Arts just outside of Arnprior.

A boost for CHEO, food bank, Knights Arnprior Knights of Columbus Grand Knight Bob Coyne, photo at left, presents $1,100 to Sonia Mullins-Forget for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Mullins-Forget organized the seventh annual Ladies Night Out in early November for the Knights at St. John Chrysostom Church. CHEO was one of the beneficiaries of the fundraiser. Grand Knight Bob Coyne, photo at right, of the Arnprior Knights of Columbus presents $1,100 to Helen Schefter, representing the Arnprior District Food Bank. The Knights, food bank and CHEO each received $1,100 from the seventh Ladies Night Out Fundraiser Nov. 6. RON GRENIER/SUBMITTED
Next year’s medieval feast to take on a Welsh air There have been some questions about what happened to the McNab and District Celtic Heritage Society’s Medieval Feast, as many were looking forward to the fun and entertainment had last year. Well, never fear, say orga-
nizers. The Medieval feast is happening again. It was decided by the society that it should celebrate another Celtic saint this time. St. David, the Welsh patron saint, was chosen. As his special day is March 1,
the feast will be held at the end of February. Unlike St. Andrew in Scotland who lived at the time of Christ, S.t David is relatively young as he died March 1, 589AD. But like St. Andrew, there are many stories and myths
about him. The Celtic heritage society will hold its merry feast at the wonderful Camelot, thought to be Caerleon Castle, legendary home of King Arthur. At the event, there will be Gwas Ystafell (Chaim-
berlain), minstrels, a Bardd Teulu (bard), court jester, mummers and this time instead of an Honorary Laird the will be a Brenin (king). Many people have a lot of knowledge of Ireland and Scotland thanks to the many events and celebrations
around them. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the Celtic lands of Wales and other Celtic nations. Stay tuned find out more about this fun event, St David, and King Arthur at the end of February.

Knights schooled in game of euchre It’s hard to believe but the Knights bus has just arrived back from Las Vegas.

School board ratifies deals with two groups During its Dec. 3 board meeting, the Renfrew County District School Board ratified local, collective bargaining agreements with secondary office managers and early childhood educators. Both employee groups are members of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation support staff. “We now have local settlements with about half of our employee groups,” said public school board Chair Dave Shields. “We value the work our office managers and early childhood educators do and are pleased to see these agreements. We look forward to completing this round of bargaining with the remaining employee groups.” Both the office managers and the early childhood educators have tentative, central settlements, but those agreements have not been voted on or ratified yet. The central agreement must be voted and ratified on or before Dec. 16.
