Tracey Climo’s oven works a lot of overtime in the leadup to Christmas. The house smells like turkey for four or five days. As one bird comes out, the next goes in. Then there are her knives which, after the carving and the vegetables - tend to be about as sharp as Frosty’s six-pack. But perhaps it is her freezer that dreads the holiday season most of all. All are socked away until Dec. 25 when the annual free Christmas dinner takes place at Nick Smith Centre. At least 100 people will sit down to share laughter, companionship, and some 150 pounds of turkey. “It is a lot of work. My daughter (Danielle) works at Cedar Cove Resort and it’s closed this time of year, so she does a lot of it,” Climo said. “Every year I usually say never again, but when the day comes it’s all worth it. The people who participate are sometimes less fortunate, sometimes not up for cooking a big turkey dinner themselves, or simply would rather not eat alone on Christmas day. Many volunteer servers are also the same who sit down to dine, Climo explained.

Braeside survey
Derek Dunn/Metroland
The results of a recent survey revealed certain words that come to mind when residents think of McNab/Braeside township. Those words were placed on a wall at a recent meeting and folks were asked to assign stickers to the ones they agreed with most. The township is also seeking suggestions for a new slogan.

“We’ll take everybody. There are some needy or don’t want to be alone at this time of year. Some elderly people can’t cook on their own but still like to have a turkey dinner.” This is the eighth year for the Christmas dinner. Up until this year, Climo’s partner was Slater’s Bakery owner Erica Slater, but her work is too busy this time of year to dedicate to the event, Climo said.
It can’t be a walk in the park for Climo, either. She owns Mel’s Flower Shop. The two businesses, plus East Side Mario’s, accept donations to offset costs. Climo said many long-time donors have given generously, and that every dollar dropped in the jars is much appreciated. “I think it’s a really necessary thing, otherwise I wouldn’t do it.” Anyone wanting to know more, or even needing a drive for the 5 p.m. dinner should call Tracey Climo at 613-286-0858.

Arnprior council sets stage for 2018 election with survey results DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Arnprior council has decided to change the title of one member and keep many other aspects related to the next election. At the Dec. 12 meeting, council heard its responses to a survey filled
out weeks ago that included several possible changes for the 2018 election and governance model going forward. The status quo won out on six questions, with the seventh seeing a change to the position currently held by Walter Stack. The title "reeve" will change to "county councillor" at the beginning
Christmas 2016 and ears 2017 New Years aste Management Waste Schedule Notice of Recycling Schedule Change
Please note that there is an error in the latest Arnprior Recycling Guide (covering Sept 2016 - March 2017) for the holiday Monday following New Years Day. Locations where recycling collection normally occurs on Monday will have their collection shifted to Wednesday January 4th. The corrected schedule is shown below. There are no other changes to the Waste Management schedule this holiday season.
of the next term. (Stack missed the meeting, but all on council filled out the survey.) The current title, it was suggested, is out of fashion; the new one will better reflect the role, which in addition to attending town council meetings is to attend county government meetings in Pembroke. Another option was to have the mayor take over the role of county councillor. The reasoning goes that having the same person in charge locally and speaking on behalf of the town regionally would led to greater consistency. And they would have a more complete picture. Most members of county councils are mayors, though they come from municipalities smaller than Arnprior. However, that option was soundly rejected on the basis that it would push the mayor's job to full-time. Mayor David Reid said the added responsibilities would take 40-50 hours per week to complete. He would not
have run for mayor if it included that much work, and he suspects it could dissuade many others from considering it. "It's a big step," Reid said. Council also turned down the possibility of a new, elected "deputy mayor." ROTATIONAL BASIS
Right now members of council perform the job on a rotational basis. The survey report, compiled by town clerk Maureen Spratt, also contained councillor comments. One suggested the makeup would be top heavy. "Adding an additional position to the council election process could potentially dilute the talent that makes up the final council composition," reads the report. "You end up losing candidates that run for mayor, reeve, and deputy major that would potentially be better choices for council at large." Although cost related to an additional councillor didn't come up, it did for an argument about cutting counIn the Michaels ad starting on December cil from seven members to 16, 2016, “Frames starting at $4.99” was five. Coun. Frank Dugal favoured the move, saying stated in error on page 2. Based on the he was on the five-member images shown in the ad, the statement should have read “Frames starting at $9.99”.

obvious the rest of council favoured the status quo, he suggested the mayor's job could turn to full-time with a pay bump up. However, it was noted that Arnprior council dropped from nine to seven not that long ago. And that having more diverse opinions on council, gathered by councillors with different social networks, ensures more informed decision-making. The main objection was concern that three members of a five-member council could consistently vote as a bloc. If a meeting had a quorum of three or four councillors, a motion could be defeated "with just two votes," reads the report. Council also rejected a move to a ward system whereby members represent distinct neighbourhoods. The town is too small to replicate Ottawa's ward system, the report indicates. There will be no ranked ballots either. The first-past-the-post system will be kept for the next election. It may prove confusing, particularly with telephone voting. And the order of candidates listed on the ballot may influence results. A bylaw will be passed again this time for alternative voting. Reid said it was a good exercise to conduct, and that he sees some good in both sides of each. "I see merit to others sides of almost all questions," he said. "I happen to think that if it's
No Service Christmas Day
Collisions rise with snow levels There were 31 motor vehicle collisions investigated during the previous seven days, OPP reported Dec. 14. Winter driving can be challenging and drivers are encouraged to slow down, according to police. The biggest cause of collisions and vehicles in the ditch in the winter is drivers going too fast for road con-
ditions. When accelerating or braking on snow or ice, take it slow to avoid slipping, sliding, or skidding. Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and others, and be aware the faster you go, the longer it will take to stop. Remember if you see snow – go slow.
Scammer makes off with $2,500 A victim reported losing more than $2,500 to the emergency scam over the telephone on Dec. 7. The victim received a phone call from someone stating the victim’s son had been arrested for causing a collision and damaging City of Gatineau property. As a result of the collision, the son would have to pay a fine. The victim agreed to transfer the required funds through a money transfer business to an account in Westmount Quebec. The next day the victim spoke with their son and learned it was a fraud. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre is assisting with the investigation.
Gas stolen from Shell on Daniel A quantity of gas was stolen from the Shell gas station on Daniel Street in Arnprior. The theft happened on Thursday, Dec. 8 at approximately 12:40 p.m. The male pumped gas into a portable container and went into the store, but failed to pay for the fuel. A licence plate was obtained and Provincial Const. Joel Cobb is investigating. Loose change was stolen from a vehicle parked in a laneway on Peter Street in Renfrew. The victim heard a noise outside and observed footprints around their home and vehicle. The suspect removed a quantity of loose change from the vehicle. Police seized physical evidence from the scene. Provincial Const. Amedeo Jean-Louis is investigating. Provincial Const. Helen Patterson is investigating a report of personal computer files being stolen. The victim reported the theft from a cloud account on Dec. 5. The investigation is continuing. Christmas lights were stolen from the front lawn of several residences. The first was on First Street in Renfrew on Dec. 12, and again from a residence on McGonigal Street West in Arnprior on Dec. 16. There are no suspects. On Dec. 16 a quantity of gas was stolen from a gas station on Raglan Street in Renfrew. The suspect
pumped gas into the small gray car paid for other items in the store but left without making any attempt to pay for gas. A licence plate was obtained and the investigation is continuing. QUICK-CHANGE ARTISTS
Quick-change artists have been busy in Eastern Ontario and one Renfrew business has fallen victim to the fraud. On Dec. 14 at approximately 4:30 p.m., Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers responded to a call regarding two quick-change artists attempting to steal money from Walmart in Renfrew. When officers arrived the male suspect could not be located. He fled with a quantity of cash. One female suspect was arrested and charged with one count of attempted theft. A 24-year-old female of North York was held for a bail hearing on Dec. 15. Two young children who were with the two adults were apprehended as children in need of protection and turned over the Family and Children’s Services workers. Provincial Const. Sarah Turcotte led the investigation. On Dec. 4 three people entered Walmart and attempted to pay for merchandise. The value of the transaction was more than $1,000. During the transaction, the unknown suspect shorted the cashier by $600.
Crashes close highways during weekend storm TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
Winter didn’t officially arrive until Dec. 21 but Mother Nature was out in full force on Sunday, Dec. 18 with wintry conditions that resulted in two major crashes. The .first occurred at approximately 3:30 a.m. Sunday as the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to Hwy. 17 at Calabogie Road after a tractor trailer went into the ditch. The single-vehicle collision occurred in McNab/ Braeside Township and the
driver was not injured in the crash. The investigation continues and detours were in place for several hours. The second was at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, resulting in the closure of Hwy. 41 near Dacre at the junction of Hwy. 132. Both paramedics and the fire department responded to the scene and firefighters were required for extrication of one driver. Two people were transported by paramedics to the hospital with minor injuries. Hwy. 41 opened to traffic in both directions shortly before 8 a.m. after the vehicles were removed.
Immediately upon completion of the transaction, two of the unknown suspects proceeded directly to customer service where they returned all of the items. The suspects successfully returned the items for a cash refund of the full amount, thereby defrauding Walmart of $600. The unknown suspects then left the premises. At the conclusion of the day, Walmart staff became aware that one cashier was short by $600. The same suspects were observed at the Pembroke Walmart location the same day. Provincial Const. Patrick O’Connor is investigating.
RIDE CHECKS
Motorists are reminded they may encounter frequent RIDE spot checks during the next few weeks. OPP officers are conducting the checks to make sure drivers are choosing to drive sober. When you know you will be drinking make alternate arrangements for transportation rather than driving impaired. Have a designated sober driver, call a friend, take a taxi, stay overnight or call a relative. Please think of other road users so everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas.

Gratitude & Love
Tis the Season and everybody longs for love and happiness specifically at this time of year. If your life is “so lala” and deep down you long for true happiness, peace and wholeness, our Heilkunst treatment is just what the Doctor ordered. The best gift is help turning a patients life around. So was it with a dear patient of mine, let’s call her Mrs “TS”. When she originally started her treatment, she was very unhappy, emotionally numb and chronically frustrated. Mrs “TS” was just going through the motions and ready to walk away from her marriage. You could hear her negativity and resignation in her voice in every word she spoke. Over time, her energy felt became lighter and her “illhumoured” remarks were replaced by easy laughter and loving compassion. This week she beamed from ear to ear telling me, that she has found her peace again. Often she feels gratitude in little things and finds her eyes welling up full of joy. Her new life with her husband is committed, stable and enjoying a deep emotional connection, which they celebrate with regular “date nights”. Mrs “TS” who is in her early sixties, says: I feel like a child again, I’m full of joy and pride and I look forward to each and every day. I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for me!” Well, that’s a true Christmas gift for her and me and I’m sure also for everyone she touches with her deep love and compassionate heart. Money can’t buy this feeling. Everybody deserves to be happy and we all long for a true, deep and respectful connection with our partner. I’d be honoured to help YOU reach your desires too. Make your desires a reality!

Stay clear: OPG Winter weather conditions have settled in across the province as the Dec. 21 winter solstice arrives. As people enjoy outdoor holiday activities, Ottawa Power Generation (OPG) has an important safety message: stay clear of hydro stations and dams. “Skating, snow shoeing, snowmobiling and other winter activities can be dangerous near hydro stations and dams,” says Mike Martelli, OPG’s president of renewable generation and power marketing. “Our message is simple, stay clear, stay safe.” “When ice forms around our stations and dams, it can appear safe, but the ice is not as thick as it seems. During the winter months water levels can change quickly and without warning, making conditions unpredictable and potentially dangerous. Please respect the signs and barriers around OPG facilities; they are there for your safety, no matter what the season.” To learn more about safety around dams, please visit www.stayclearstaysafe.ca .

The Town of Arnprior retained the services of a consultant in September of 2016 to complete a Waterfront Feasibility Issues and Options Analysis. Public interactive booths were held at the Nick Smith Centre and the Arnprior Public Library on Oct. 21 and 22 to solicit feedback from the public to help inform future discussions on waterfront development. An online survey was available from Oct. 14 to Nov. 11 with 178 responses being received. Both the interactive booths and the survey were advertised in Arnprior’s Municipal Matters section of the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide from Oct. 13 – Nov. 3. The survey and interactive booths were also advertised on the homepage of the town’s website, on the town’s Twitter account and on the Nick Smith Centre’s Facebook page beginning on Oct. 17. Also, the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide published an article in the Oct. 20 edition of the newspaper, which mentioned both interactive the booths and the online survey. The consultant provided a presenta-

As Christmas Day approaches and we take the time to sit down with family and friends and take stock and give thanks for all the wonderful gifts and riches we’re lucky enough to enjoy, the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide would like to bend Santa’s ear and make a few special requests for the Ottawa Valley: • A safer, four-laned Highway 17; • A solution and some relief to the Hydro crisis plaguing Ontarians; • Improved mental health resources for individuals in Renfrew County and beyond; • Greater access to improved recreation opportunities and facilities; • Success in the many exciting activities planned for Canada’s 150th celebrations; • An ambitious plan with private partners at the Arnprior waterfront; • A quick approval for more long-term care beds at The Grove Nursing Home; • Relief from skyrocketing OPP costs in rural municipalities; • Life’s a beach in Horton and here’s to the sunny ways continuing as the township successfully transitioned from the leadership of one chief administrator to the another; • A well-designed and efficient plan for the reconstruction of downtown Renfrew, with a balance of heritage, accessible and modern features; • A chance to embrace and showcase Renfrew with its new logo and the re-emergence of the town’s crest; • For all the town councils: respect, open communication and teamwork around the council table; • A few more wins for the Renfrew Timberwolves; and • First place for the Arnprior Packers and home ice advantage in the playoffs. We wish all our readers a very Merry Christmas, good health, and many happy times with family and friends.
Ottawa Valley Christmas traditions embraced by reporter’s family Christmas is all about traditions. This year we have made many new ones with our two children John, 3, and Lucy, 18 months, and some are going to be drastically different this year. With the job I have I see the community like no one else, especially when it comes to Christmas time. The Ottawa Valley has so many Christmas traditions and now that my husband and I have two busy toddlers we have been able to embrace them so much more. At the end of November I picked up my son, after a long day, and in a matter of fact tone of voice he let me hear it. “Mama, Santa is going to bring me a Blaze Monster truck for Christmas,” said John. When asked why he was going to bring him a truck, I was surprised with his answer.

TIFFANY LEPACK Tiffany’s Take “For happy birthday Jesus.” It’s a hard balance to teach our children what we believe in and balance the everyday hustle. When the Leaps and Bounds Breakfast with Santa in Arnprior came around John had been practising his line for what he wanted almost every day and as soon as he saw the guy in red he ran over to him. “Santa, may I please have a Blaze Monster truck for Christmas,” said John. The conversation was so intense it melted my heart.

Lucy, who is quite the chatterbox (I don’t know where she gets it from), didn’t quite understand that Santa could bring her something as well. When we asked her what she wanted I was surprised by her answer. “I want Blaze Monster truck,” said Lucy. “Lucy, you can ask for anything,” I told her. “What about a princess?” “Yes mama, I want a princess please.” We were also able to attend the lighting of the Vern Yemen Memorial Nativity Scene in Low Square. It was interesting to watch both children investigate the beautiful and large figures. When I pointed out baby Jesus to them, they also had the same answer. “Happy birthday baby Jesus.” There are so many worthwhile causes in our

Speak up to expedite nursing home expansion To the editor: RE: Redevelopment of the Grove Nursing Home in Arnprior This letter is in regards to the proposed plan to increase the number of long-term care beds at the Grove Nursing Home in Arnprior. In December of 2015 my father suffered a traumatic brain injury and was not expected to survive. In a surprising twist, and testament to his strength, my father flourished and began to improve both cognitively and physically. The relief and happiness I felt in response to his improvement was tempered with the stress of realizing that he would never be the same and would never return home. Now I had to learn to navigate a difficult and overburdened system to secure long-term care. I was shocked to find out that he could be moved to a facility in Renfrew, Pembroke, Carleton Place, Almonte or Ottawa while waiting for our first choice, the Grove in Arnprior. This was an incredibly stressful time in my life. As the primary caregiver and subsequent decision maker, I spent hours each day with dad trying to reorient him and assist him in making new connections so that he could have the best chance for improvement. I did this while balancing a family of my own and a full time job in Ottawa. I was terrified that if he were to be moved outside of Arnprior that it would severely limit the time I could spend with him and therefore, impede his chance of improvement. When dad was bed matched to the Grove in June 2016 it was an immense relief. Dad’s close proximity has made drives on
sunny afternoons, Sunday dinners and daily pop-ins possible. While my 12-year-old son was on summer vacation he was able to walk over each Wednesday afternoon to visit. None of this would be possible if dad were not living in our/his hometown. I am convinced dad’s improvement/stability is the result of regular visits by his family members and I take comfort in knowing that his final time will be spent in his community, with regular visits by his loved ones. I am one of the lucky few. Due to the limited number of local beds this is not the usual experience. As the Town of Arnprior grows, so does the demand for long-term care beds and so too should the size of the Grove. I think everyone should be able to keep their loved one close by during their end of life care. The expansion and redevelopment of the Grove is important to me and my family. We are watching this process closely and hope that others speak out publicly to help the Arnprior area secure equitable access to longterm care. I asked the chair of the Grove redevelopment task force, Chris Havey, how we as a community can be more supportive of this effort. He noted the following ways to be engaged and supportive: • Continued pieces in the media on the Grove and what it means to you as a resident of the greater Arnprior region
via letters to the editor. These letters do get flagged to MPPs and the Ministry of Health. • Signing a ‘Help the Grove Grow’ post card at the library, town hall or the Nick Smith Centre. These will be collected and delivered by Arnprior Regional Health to our MPP John Yakabuski to help him demonstrate the community voice on this issue. • Contact your MPP directly, as our service area is not only covered by representation in Renfrew County. We do service parts of West Carleton and Mississippi Mills. • Share you stories directly with Chris Havey, the Chair of the Grove Redevelopment Task Force at GroveRedevelopment@ arnpriorhealth.ca.

Monthly Column by MPP John Yakabuski
Monthly Column – December 2016 I know we talk a lot about the price of electricity, and with good reason. It’s the number one issue I hear about in my office and on the street every day. But it is not just about hydro. There are so many ways that the Wynne-Liberal government have made life more unaffordable, particularly for people in rural Ontario. They’ve done this in ways that they hope are not noticed too much, or at a pace that doesn’t lead people to cause much of a fuss. But over the last few years, their take from your pocket for licences and fees have increased to over half a billion dollars. If you have a driver’s licence, or own a car, if you hunt or fish, you’re paying a whole lot more than just a few years ago. Coincidentally, these are activities that you are far more likely to be a participant in if you are a resident of rural Ontario. Just one example: the cost of annual licensing a car. A few years ago it was $74—it is now $120: that’s a 62 percent increase. Has anyone seen their income go up 62 percent over the last few years? If you have, you are in a rare group. This is just another one of the ways that the government takes more money out of your pocket without providing anything in return. It is only fair that I point out that your small-town license-issuing agents are not the ones who have benefited from these increases. I recently had the opportunity to meet with a number of local optometrists, and something they reminded me of is the Eye See … Eye Learn program, which aims to ensure that schoolaged children have eye examinations. This will help determine if any challenges affecting their ability to learn is due to challenges affecting their ability to see. Catching any of these problems early will ensure that your child is not falling behind because of a problem with their vision. While the Liberal government delisted eye examinations for persons between the ages of 20 to 64, examinations for those people up to age 19 are still covered for a yearly eye examination by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). I would encourage all parents to contact their optometrist and make an appointment to have their child checked out at an early age. Winter is certainly upon us and it is clearly going to be a more traditional one than last year. We are not going to have the open-road conditions that we had in 2015-16. I’m sure that I drive as much as just about anyone (even in the winter), and I encourage everyone to exercise discretion and caution so that while this winter will be a tougher one, we’ll have everyone be as safe as possible. We look forward to Christmas, as I’m sure you do as well. The celebration of the birth of our Saviour, is a most anticipated feast in our family and a joyous time for all. While we will not have our entire family home, Emily, Tom, and their children Adelaide and Leo, will be celebrating Christmas in the Northwest Territories; we will certainly be skyping with them and sharing that special day. From our family to yours, please accept our best wishes for a blessed and Merry Christmas and good health and happiness in 2017. Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, December 22, 2016 9

All outstanding bills will be paid by Arnprior Agricultural Society To the editor: In response to a front page story on Dec. 15, 2016 in the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide regarding the Arnprior Agricultural Society I have made a number of observations. No one disputes that suppliers need to be paid as do winners of various awards and all prize winners. This past year, however, the adverse weather at the annual fair and rodeo

dealt a most unkind blow with the result that both events resulted in noticeable losses. One cannot fault the patrons who understandably will take a pass on being drenched in a downpour. The task facing the Directors and members of the Arnprior Agricultural Society is to keep all those who are entitled to payment content in the face of there simply being inadequate funds with which to pay everyone.

Abuse has many names: family violence, intimate partner violence and more. There are as many, if not more, forms of abuse as there are names. Physical abuse is what most commonly

Being able to identify, name and describe one’s own experience of abuse is empowering. Being able to stand up,
Unlike all levels of government the Arnprior Agricultural Society does not enjoy the power of taxation nor does one normally expect the society to run deficit budgets.

Therefore in this article, we will refer to those who experience abuse as she/her. Isolation is a type
As to inquiries at the annual meeting there are no outstanding taxes. The sale of the lands to the curling club at a fair price and which price was paid over a period of time simply put the agricultural society on a break-even level and one notes that that occurred some years ago.

Lionette Peggy Frechette and Sally Bradley with Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital (ADMH) emergency room staff, who are accepting teddy bears that will be given to youngsters who visit the emergency room during the holidays. ADMH stafffers are, from left, Carol Neumann, Anne Silbernagel, Stephanie Walsh and Jason Watt.
ADMH prepares for holiday season Be prepared when it comes to your family’s health Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital is working hard to ensure patient access to the emergency department (ED) throughout the holiday season. It is usual, during the holidays, for hospital EDs to experience an increase in patient visits. Flu season along with increased social gatherings and holiday activities add to the number of people who will be seeking care. This combined with the holiday hours of many local family physicians’ offices means that the hospital’s emergency department will be busier than usual. TIPS
There are ways that the community can help keep the holidays healthy and ease the expected surge in the number of patients. • Plan ahead and make use of alternative resources for non-emergency situations to minimize the strain on the ED and help keep the service accessible for those who need it the most. • Practise diligent hand hygiene; get a flu vaccination, available from most family physi-
cian offices, community health centres, clinics and pharmacies. • Make a note of your doctor’s holiday hours. Many physician offices will have special hours during the holidays. • Confirm that your family’s prescriptions are up-to-date and check medical equipment. Make sure to have enough of medications, both prescription and non-prescription, on hand to last throughout the holidays. Remember items such as needles and alcohol swabs, and check inhalers, respirators, oxygen, glucose, and testing equipment. • If you are visiting the ED, ensure that your medical information is up to date, and take a list of all medications along with any other important information such as allergies. Alternatives to the hospital, if your situation is non-urgent, include: family doctors, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care health care options at: www. ontario.ca/healthcareoption; or Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000 for free telephone access to a Registered Nurse 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Iconic Renfrew scene joins Reflections of Our Heritage collection Arnprior artist Paul Perreault has just released his ninth canvas print in his popular Reflections of Our Heritage series. The series captures moments in time that exemplify the historic beauty and culture of the Ottawa Valley and its people. This new print entitled ‘Over the Bonnechere’ features three of the most recognized landmarks in the Town of Renfrew. It captures the icy beauty of the Bonnechere River that flows through it, the historic McDougall Mill Museum on its riverbank and the town’s iconic Swinging Bridge, one of two remaining in all of Canada. The scene is significant in the early history of Renfrew and surrounding area. The mill was built in 1855 by John Lorne McDougall and served as a gristmill for most of its life along side the second chute of the Bonnechere River. It was renovated and reopened in 1969 as a museum and is home to Renfrew’s historical treasures to this very day. The Swinging Bridge was originally built in 1885 by the W.H. Kearney family and has undergone several restorations since. The latest reconstruc-
tion was in August of 2015. When Perreault was searching for an iconic image of Renfrew to paint, there were many options. When asking people in the area what they’d like to see painted, the mill and Swinging Bridge was at the top of that list. After a trip there last winter to see for himself, he knew he had to do this painting. He was inspired by the unique beauty and history of this place and wanted the painting to capture the warmth of early morning sun after a cold winter night, when mist from the rushing water has transformed the surrounding tree branches into crystal. The painting is available in canvas print at 12X18 and 24X36. For more information or to order this or any other prints in the series, visit the artist’s website at http://www.paulperreault.ca or you can drop by and see them at his Studio in Arnprior by appointment at 613-623-0753. ‘Over the Bonnechere’ can also be seen in the window of Ottawa Valley Financial Services at 197 Raglan St. South in Renfrew or in the window at 108 John St. in Arnprior.

Bingo takes place on Mondays, Tuesday it’s cards in the afternoon, Thursdays is concert band Friday at 11:30 are hamburgers and the Jammers fill the lounge in the evening. Every second Saturday is entertainment. In between all of that are the Christmas dinner parties, the Seniors at Home luncheon and the Golden Valley Seniors afternoon meeting, entertainment and dinner. The bingo committee these last few
months has been extremely busy. They have made a couple presentations to the food bank - folks donate each bingo night and most recently they made a cash donation of more than $2,800. They put together Christmas dinner food hampers for four families. Their big Christmas celebration bingo was last Monday with lots of happy people winning goodies and a chance at a double jackpot. Please note: there will be no bingo on Dec. 26. January 1 is the New Year’s Levee. All members, friends and guests are invited to attend. This event is open to the public, please feel

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, someone is interested in what you have to say, especially with regard to a personal issue. You’re not quite sure if you’re ready to reveal all that much to others. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, plans go well for you this week and you will follow through with the tasks you need to tackle. You may need to tweak a few things in the days to come, however. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may not see eye-to-eye with a few close friends this week, but you can push past this and your friendship will endure. Try to find some common ground. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 A series of new ideas might make you everyone’s best friend this week, Cancer. Your brain is working overtime, and you may be shocked at what you can accomplish. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Try something new this week, Leo. Make it something as simple as taking Here’s How It Works: a new route to work or school or trying a new recipe in the kitchen. New experiences may surprise you. Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric Virgo, you have a strong sense of pride and don’t like to give up on things clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! prematurely. But this week you have to respect another’s perspective and concede a point.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, navigate a sticky situation as carefully as possible. Many may come to you for advice, but try not to get too involved in a conflict that has nothing to do with you. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You will be full of energy this week and ready to handle just about anything that comes your way, Scorpio. You may gain some admirers after your even-keeled handling of a situation. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Big plans this week does not mean you can pass up on your existing responsibilities, Sagittarius. Try to make time for everything, and delegate any tasks that you can. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Keep listening when others around you are talking, Capricorn. You can learn valuable lessons just by sitting back and listening to what others have to say. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, others’ charitable spirits prove contagious this week. Explore the volunteer opportunities available to you and don’t be afraid to try something new. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 You may crave change this week, Pisces. Even small changes can make a difference. Try to incorporate new experiences into your days

to our clients at Kurly’s Studio and M-Taylor’s Beauty Bar From Kayla Collins and Morgan Cameron Kurly’s Studio • 88 John St. North Arnprior 613.302.6512 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, December 22, 2016 31
December was the happiest time of the year My sister Audrey said I asked too many questions for which there were no answers. But didn’t she know everything? Wasn’t she the smartest pupil at the Northcote School? At least, I thought so. I wanted to know why I thought the happiest month of the year was December. Christmas was in December. My birthday was in December, which really didn’t mean anything because Mother said it was too close to Christmas to celebrate with anything more than a cake, and with extra expenses that month, there simply wasn’t enough left over for a present. And Emerson, my mischievous brother was especially good because it was a known fact Santa would fly right over our house without as much as a ‘by your leave’ if anyone was naughty in December. And I asked Audrey if that was enough reason for me to like December better than any other month of the year. She just sighed and told me I had to figure it out for myself. That Saturday night, a week before Christmas, I was sure I had my answer. It was going to be a big night and supper was rushed through, the kitchen redded up in jig time and we five children were dressed in our next-to-best clothes.
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
We would be going to Briscoes’ General Store where Mr. Briscoe handed out candy canes to everyone who came through the door, then off to church to sing carols and have hot chocolate and cookies, and maybe stop at a neighbour’s on the way home if there were was a light burning in a window, which was always an invitation to drop in. We had done it all, and were back on the flat-bottom sleigh heading for home. It was late. Much later than we were usually up, but no one complained about being tired. Father had covered the bed of the sleigh with straw, and my sister and three brothers were under heavy horse blankets, three of them with their backs against the one seat, which held Father and Mother, with me crammed between them. It was a crystal clear night, but
it had snowed gently all day, and the moon was like a huge dish up in the sky. The snowcovered fields we passed, I thought, looked like they were covered with millions and millions of shining diamonds. Barns, gate posts, trees stood out against the clear sky, looking like someone had painted them on a post
card. You couldn’t hear the horses hooves in the fresh snow, only the soft crunching of the sleigh runners cutting through the drifts along the Northcote Side Road. And the sleigh bells, of course. Both horses had on bells and I was sure I could hear Christmas carols and old church hymns, as we ploughed through the snow heading home. How I loved the sound of the bells, hanging loosely around the horse’s necks. It was a bitterly cold night, but not too cold for Father to tuck his chin into the collar of his coat and put a match to his pipe and soon I could smell the home-cut tobacco, laced with molasses, and turning my head a tad, I could see the red in the bowl. And I put my head on Father’s shoulder and felt the most wonderful warmth that had nothing to
NOTICE TO RESIDENTS
do with the fur blanket holding us tight, or the wool scarf wrapped around my face. Then Mother started to sing. Softly at first and then when Audrey joined in, their voices rang out as clear as bells and I was sure I could see the face in the moon smile down on all of us on that night in December. I tried not to cry, but the sheer joy of the warmth on that sleigh flooded over me and I could feel a tear slide down into the scarf covering my face. Not a tear of sadness, but of the utmost happiness. And then I knew. It was on that cold night a week before Christmas that I knew why December was my favourite month of the year. Audrey was right after all. It took the magic of a special night when finally, I could figure it out for myself. To all my faithful readers I send my warmest Christmas wishes and gratitude. And may each of you enjoy this special time of year with loved ones around you. Merry Christmas to each and every one of you and may the coming year be one of good health and happiness.

This handsome boy is Malcolm. Malcolm was brought in as a stray, he has had a rough life and was having difficulty finding food. He is a quiet, affectionate cat, he can be a bit shy in new situations but loves attention. Malcolm gets along well with other cats and would be best suited in a quiet adult home. Please consider giving this sweet guy a home for Christmas.
