News – Town ratepayers will see an additional one per cent added to next year’s tax levy for the humane society or watch the shelter face closure.

News – Santa Claus might be delivering McNab-Braeside residents a new recreation and library agreement with the Town of Arnprior just in time for Christmas. At the Dec. 16 McNab-Braeside council meeting there was a positive discussion, according to Mayor Tom Peckett, on the joint use service agreement offer that was passed at Arnprior council on Dec. 8. “I know that everyone on our council is supportive of an agreement,� said Peckett. “I want to thank the town for sending us the invitation to negotiate. “We appreciate the offer and we realize there are some time sensitive factors involved, so we
are moving ahead.� On Friday, Dec. 19, a meeting was held with Peckett, the deputy mayor for the township Brian Armsden, Arnprior Mayor David Reid and the chief administrative officers from both communities. “We have some questions on logistics if an agreement is reached, on how certain things are handled,� said Peckett. He noted that one area to be discussed would be about people who have signed up for winter recreation programs and who have already paid the new, premium, Town of Arnprior cost. “We are hopeful and determined to get a new agreement in place,� said Reid the day before the meeting.

Shelter confidant it can justify $100,000 Continued from Front The town’s chief administrative officer, Michael Wildman, said it represents a 23 per cent increase meant to reflect population growth. The more people, the more animals: that is a valid point, he said. But an $85,000 jump in one year? “We were a little bit surprised by that,” Wildman said. “I’m not sure they provided enough information that council asked for. “I thought council was very prudent, respectful and asked all the right questions. They did exactly what the taxpayers expected them to do.” Council was told the organization is taking $80,000 to $90,000 from its reserve fund to survive. Councillors refrain from making decisions until budget season, slated for February. Numerous groups that receive taxpayer money make presentations this time of year. Humane society volunteers had few financial statistics to present, other than to state their annual operating costs are running at a $214,500 deficit. The town is waiting to learn about funding from other areas, including donations, bequests and grants from neighbouring municipalities (McNabBraeside usually contributes, but not Ottawa.) Society explains
In a letter released days after the presentation, the group said 161 animals were brought to the shelter in 2013. There is no breakdown for animals from
outside municipalities. It said town taxpayers contributed $93.17 per animal. “Persons who keep cats or dogs as pets and provide appropriate veterinary care for them will realize that such amounts, and more, easily can be used up in one veterinary visit for an animal,” reads the letter. Strays often require more care. A program review with an aim to find cost efficiencies has not been done. Humane Society board president Virgina Reinecker isn’t sure how much is spent on staff versus operating and capital costs. “You can’t have one without the other,” Reinecker said during a phone interview this week. “Staff is our single most expensive cost. That much I can tell you.” Wildman said because the humane society is a volunteer-run organization, not everyone is going to be an expert in finances. But he suggested councillors may need a better understanding of the needs and precise dollar figures before it can hand over such a large sum of money. Valerie Hempill is a long-time member of the society and currently sits on the board. She gets that more information is being asked for, but remains adamant the outcome must be significant. “We’ve been so below budget for so many years that it’s not going to be a problem (justifying the increase). The people in town want the service,” Hempill said. “So there has to be a give and take. It’s a substantial increase, but completely justified.” The humane society can make another presentation or submit more information any time leading up to town council’s Feb. 9 budget deliberations.

and library agreement on the agenda. “I don’t know if a decision will be made, but I want all of council to have all of the information,” said Peckett. The resolution passed by Arnprior stated “with a new council in place, Arnprior council wishes to enter into good faith discussions with representatives of McNab-Braeside to achieve a mutually agreeable and beneficial long term cost sharing agreement.” Arnprior made a new offer for the first six months of 2015 (the same offer presented to the township in the past) for library fees at a cost of $48,353 and recreation fees for $79,483, while a new agreement is being negotiated.

Warden addresses Highway 17 during inaugural county meeting Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – The stage was set with eight crucial topics county council will focus on over the next four years, according to the warden’s inaugural address. Topping Warden Peter Emon’s list at the first County of Renfrew meeting, Dec. 16, is the “predictable and timely� twinning of Highway 17. He called it absolutely essential to the local economy and to bridging the country as a whole. And he challenged both the provincial and federal governments to commit to the continuation of the four-laning through the county. “We have observed and documented the positive impacts the extension of (the highway) through and past Arnprior has brought to that community and their closely linked neighbour McNabBraeside,� said Emon, reeve at the Town of Renfrew. “This critical piece of Canada’s national infrastructure needs to be a priority and the other levels of government need to
have a mature and committed long-term dialogue and partnership which sees the expansion roll out.� The uncertain future of Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), which used to be called Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), is a concern. It is a “vital engine� that drives the county’s economy, Emon said. Making sure Chalk River Laboratories remains the largest science and technology laboratory in Canada could be a challenge, he said. The federal government will allow a private company to take over. Whether it will be moved or cut down in size to boost profit remains undetermined. Will the federal government ensure CNL remains designated a Tier One Nuclear Station? “The federal government needs to demonstrate their understanding by making that designation today,� Emon said. “CNL and the laboratories and the nuclear industry belong here. To move them or in any way systemically diminish them is to ignore the glo-

Emon said of the 7,000 members on the base, “they have our continued and heartfelt support.�

This coming year will see the County of Renfrew initiate a comprehensive Asset Management Plan. Essentially it removes the politics of infrastructure from politicians’ hands by giving staff accurate and measurable recommendations on all assets from roads to public buildings. Emon concluded by saying he looked forward to continuing the county’s working relationship with MP Cheryl Gallant and MPP John Yakabuski. Yakabuski sang O Canada at the opening of the inaugural meeting, and gave a cheery speech about working with council and the Liberal provincial government. “It’s important to forge relationships,� said the MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. “My door is always open.� Gallant did not attend the event.

When it comes to culture and healthy living, he cited the Warden’s Community Service award and the “evolving social diversity and the vibrant arts community (that) is second to none.� He also talked of the treasured relationship with Algonquins of the Pikwakanagan community. “We will through the carefully fostered partnerships with Ottawa Valley Tourism Association and the various cultural groups work to properly showcase and further develop our unique attributes to residents and visitors alike.� The Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus will release more details soon on a regional economic development strategy.

Stack, Peckett named to county committees Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – Local municipal representatives hold key positions on some of the county’s most powerful committees. At the County of Renfrew inaugural meeting, held in Pembroke on Dec. 16, politicians from 17 municipalities gathered to learn on which committees they would sit. All but five are new to county council, which meant veterans would be distributed evenly. Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack is
chairman of the most important standing committee: Finance and Administration. The Arnprior Reeve will guide discussions on spending in many areas, and oversee subcommittees such as municipal accessibility, county-city (Pembroke) liaison and Eastern Ontario Regional Network responsible for the broadband project. New McNab-Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett is on the Operations Committee, also a crucial group overseeing the day-to-day delivery of services and infrastructure allocations. The McNab-Braeside mayor is also
a member of the influential Development and Property committee. Stack is also on the Social Services committee. The two also have spots on ad-hoc committees. Stack is on CP Rail Corridor Advisory committee, which is important to Arnprior now that a park with a trail is planned for the rail corridor greenspace running parallel to William Street. Peckett is on the County-City Liaison committee and the Municipal Accessibility Advisory committee. That last one is vital. The province is mandating all public (later busi-

having two residence rotations for ‘serious physician prospects.’ “It really gives students a chance to see what it’s all about,� said Tromp. Two new doctors also started working in Arnprior this year: Dr. Mohammad Nejad, from Newfoundland and Dr. Jonathan Fitzsimon from the United Kingdom. Both are now accepting new patients and they expect to have full rosters by August 2015. People in need of a family doctor can call their receptionist Sandra Brydges at 613-622-5227 or they can pick up a form at suite 154 at the Primary Health Centre at the hospital. During Tromp’s council presentations she noted that thanks to past contributions, ARH has now stabilized the number of residents without a family physician. However, in order to prevent going into crisis mode again with upcoming retirements, the Arnprior area needs to be proactive in continuing to attract new physicians. In the next two to three years, three family physicians plan on retiring with three more likely leaving in the next five to eight years.

Tromp notes that without enough family doctors the emergency wait times tend to be longer and it affects the overall quality of life in the community. “Having doctors accepting new patients makes good business sense for a number of local sectors, including retirement homes,
new home builders and the general public.� She also notes that residents with a family doctor are then eligible to sign up for a number of different services from the Arnprior Family Health Team such as smoking cessation, healthy weight clinic/optifast, hypertension support, healthy heart/ sodium reduction and many more. She is also working on organizing a recruitment fundraising campaign in the New Year and will also be meeting with representatives from the City of Ottawa as a number of West Carleton residents from Fitzroy Harbour, Kinburn and Woodlawn have family doctors in Arnprior.

The proposed 2015 budget to recruit more doctors to the area is $142,400, which includes physician incentives/support, Locum experience/remuneration, conference/fair fees and more.

EDITORIAL
Keep your traditions, but do so safely M
erry Christmas, dear readers. And stay safe as you bustle around during Christmas-New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s week. After all, we want you around in 2015 to read our scintillating prose and peruse our alluring advertisements. It is a pleasure to see many Upper Ottawa Valley festive traditions continue, but there are some important changes that necessitate a certain amount of behaviour modification compared to grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time then when it comes to imbibing Christmas cheer. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get away with things that were accepted as routine even 20-30 years ago. Nor should you. Ah, the good old days, when neighbours would drive from house to house, sharing a Boxing day drink with friends and family. That was a tradition in many parts of the Valley. The day started early. After all, it paid to visit your neighbours before they caught you at home. Better to be drinking their booze than yours. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t more alcoholfuelled tragedies on Boxing Day back then. But it appears we had more careful drunks in those days (not to mention fewer, slower and much more solidly made vehicles). Today, such activities are deemed MADDness. Although there are still some incorrigible drinking drivers that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clued into the message, most motorists are too smart or socially responsible to risk getting caught in a RIDE road block. Just last week, the local OPP reported that in the first 66 road checks set up in this year, there were no impaired drivers nabbed. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not made it to Boxing Day yet, but that is impressive. After all, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about Renfrew County here. With the increased awareness (a shout out to the Walter Zadow and other students who provided a timely reminder by decorating LCBO bags with impaired driving warnings) and growing number of designated drivers,
police have begun to target other driver problem areas. However, it appears the campaign against distracted driving still isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being taken seriously. Recent blitzes in the Ottawa area found many motorists texting away on their cells phones, trying to light cigarettes, fumbling with the radio, messing with their hair, even watching a movie (and that was a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;professionalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trucker) as they drove. And several of those caught were repeat offenders. Also worrying police was that some of the culprits, in an effort to avoid detection, had their phones (maps, food, etc.) down low out of sight, which must have made it even more difficult for them to concentrate on the road. With the tradition of visiting friends and family at Christmas, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bound to be many carloads of travelers armed with newly received gadgets and bubbling with holiday excitement on the roads. Whether going just down the road or across the province, designate not only a sober driver, but one who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easily distracted too and can stay calm amidst the storm inside and outside the car. For another factor that is making it more hazardous on todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads compared to grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time is the crazy weather. We used to be able to rely on a traditional winter being snowy and cold. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snow one day, ice rain the next, with sleet and ice pellets mixed in, along with black ice and fog. The temperatures go up and down like the yo-yo. And it seems to be getting worse and harder to predict every winter. So go visiting at Christmas, but be prepared to alter your travel plans if the erratic weather makes the driving treacherous. Keeping enjoying your age-old traditions at Christmas, but understand that not everything is as safe as it was in a simpler time. So take care, adapt to the new realities, and have a merry and safe Christmas, everyone.

Energy East pipeline to provide safe, economic boost to Ontarians
To the Editor: This letter is in response to an article entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Local opposition to Energy East pipeline mountingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which was published Dec. 11 (Arnprior Chronicle-Guide). People recognize that pipelines are the safest, most reliable and most environmentally responsible way to move large amounts of crude oil over long distances. The facts also support this.

New recreation, library offer doesn’t make sense To the editor: Re the McNab-Braeside library and recreation deal with Arnprior. Once again we are talking agreements with Arnprior for the above that makes absolutely no sense. First, the new library offer is ridiculous. There are 800 households that were at one time using the library, according to Karen DeLuca. The 800 x $60 = $48,000 per year. Not the $96,706 as quoted in the Chronicle from the new deal offered by Arnprior. The $48,000 per year is what it works out to for me and it comes off everyone’s taxes whether or not they use the library.
Then there is the recreation, which means the Nick Smith Centre. The $158,967, which is the new offer divided by approximately 8,000 people in McNab-Braeside (from the census), means that every man, women and child pay $20 per head and it comes right off your taxes whether you use it or not. Does this make sense? Definitely not! If the new council chooses to sign such an agreement with Arnprior, they should be run out of town. I hope they do their job and stand up for what is right and just.

A recent study by the International Energy Agency predicts worldwide energy demand will continue to rise over the next 20 years. While renewable sources of energy will play a role in meeting that demand, oil will continue to be crucial. And, if pipelines aren’t available to get oil to market, other modes of transportation, including ships and trains, will get it there instead. TransCanada takes great pride in the fact our pipelines meet or surpass strict regulatory standards. Energy East will be safeguarded by thousands of sensors that detect changes in flow or pressure, carefully watched by highly trained teams working 24/7 to monitor all our installations and detect any potential issues. Using remote control shut-off systems, they are able to stop pipeline flow within moments. We are experienced at safely converting natural gas pipelines to carry oil. The Keystone Pipeline between Alberta and Winnipeg was successfully converted and re-certified, and has safely transported more than 700 million barrels of oil since 2010. Ontarians will see substantial economic benefits from the Energy East Pipeline. During the planning and construction phase of the project, the Conference Board of Canada projects more than 4,200 direct and indirect jobs would be supported. Once in operation, the equivalent of 1,300 full and part time jobs would be maintained
over a 20-year period. In addition, the province’s GDP would rise by $15 billion over that period, and the province and municipalities would see an additional $2.6 billion in critically needed tax revenues. Finally, Energy East will not cause a shortage or a price spike for natural gas. The eastern portion of our Canadian Mainline gas pipeline serves two distinct markets: Canadian customers and export customers. We are only re-purposing pipeline capacity the export market no longer needs or uses. Capacity that serves Canadians will not be impacted. Therefore, Ontario and Quebec gas customers will continue to receive the gas they need to heat their homes, especially during the cold winter months. Any claim that we would do otherwise is simply false. We are also planning to build 250 kilometres of new natural gas pipeline where it is needed most – in the Toronto-to-Montreal corridor – providing greater access to affordable new gas supplies from the northeastern United States. We believe all these changes will result in savings for our customers of $900 million over the next 15 years. It is reasonable to expect that these savings will in fact be passed on to consumers of natural gas. Tim Duboyce TransCanada

Paul family thanks community following tragic farming accident
Your style. Your way. For the holidays!

News - A Carp dairy farmer was in hospital recuperating after a tragic farming accident on Dec. 17. Ken Paul, who runs Appaulo Farms with his son Bruce, lost both arms after his clothing was pulled into the power take-off (PTO) shaft while trying to connect the machinery to his tractor. The Paul family released a statement to the Review on Dec. 19 with a request that it run in its entirety: “On behalf of the Paul family, we wish to sincerely thank the Ottawa emergency services (paramedic, fire, and police – with their crisis management unit) for their quick response and their tremendous care, support and professionalism. “We also wish to say thank you to the Ottawa Civic Hospital emergency unit and the trauma teams for their ongoing support following the tragic farm accident at Appaulo Farms Ltd., in Carp, on Wednesday, Dec. 17, where Ken Paul became entangled in a forage wagon PTO shaft, resulting in the loss of both arms. “Ken is recuperating at this time, and will remain in the trauma unit, pending further medical assessments and procedures. “All your well wishes, thoughts and prayers

Both arms lost
Emergency personnel responded to the call, which came in around 8 a.m. Wednesday. The 69-year-old farmer’s arms had been pulled into the shaft, severing one at the shoulder and the other below the elbow. Ottawa paramedics spokesman JP Trottier called the accident “horrific.” Ken Paul was conscious when paramedics arrived at the William Mooney Road farm, near the Cheshire Cat restaurant, and he was transported to hospital in critical condition. Marc Messier, spokesman for Ottawa fire, said the man was free of the machinery when crews arrived on scene. The Paul family has worked the 700-acre farm for five generations with Holsteins, cash crops and beef cattle. Ken Paul was Carp Fair Board president in 1981. - With files from Derek Dunn

Arnprior Regional Health earns quality workplace award News - Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) has once again been recognized with a Quality Healthcare Workplace Award. It is the second consecutive year ARH has been acknowledged by the Ontario Hospital Association and Ministry of Health and Long Term Care with an award. This year, ARH is the proud recipient of the Bronze Award. The Quality Healthcare
Workplace Award recognizes organizational efforts to improve healthcare workplaces in ways that contribute to employees’ quality of work life and the care and services they deliver, explains the ARH in a news release. The award recognizes the innovation and teamwork at ARH that ensures a high quality workplace, which ultimately benefits patient care. “This is a fantastic achievement for all at Arnprior Re-

we know that highly engaged staff result in high quality of care for our residents, patients and clients,” he added. Healthcare organizations from across Ontario participate in this program to raise the bar of excellence for quality healthcare workplaces. The award is designed to encourage self-evaluation, learning, and improvement. A high-calibre adjudication panel of quality workplace experts completed a rigorous assessment process when reviewing all candidates, which focused on drivers of employee and organizational health. The ARH vision of being “recognized for providing exemplary care – making your health a priority” is dependent on the ability to attract and retain top quality staff, physicians and volunteers. “Caring about what we do and why in a ‘Quality Healthcare Workplace’ environment is essential to achieving this vision,” says the ARH news release.
The Program operates 4 days per week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. A Caregiver’s Story Before being introduced to The Grove Nursing Home daytime program, 68 year old Ben* had nowhere to turn. His wife, Diane, had been battling Parkinson’s disease for over 20 years and had recently developed Dementia. As her mind and body continued to deteriorate, her condition completely consumed both of their lives. Taking care of Diane became a full time job. Ben found that he was so focused on his wife that he wasn’t able to take care of the other needs in his life. Work began to pile up and he found that his mood had worsened and his temper was getting shorter and shorter. He knew that it was time to reach out for help. Diane now attends The Grove daytime program three days a week. From 10 until 3, she is able to make friends and utilize her social skills while taking part in a suite of fun and interactive activities. Ben has really noticed a change in his wife as he has begun to see her bubbly personality again. Ben has also been able to reap the benefits of this experience. With five extra hours in the day, he is able to accomplish so

The program offers social and recreational programs in an engaging environment. Assistance and supervision with personal care, as well as caregiver respite, support and education is also provided. much more. He can go shopping, visit family, and even get some extra sleep. He is able to do things for himself that he hasn’t been able to do in years. With this break in the day, Ben is now able to enjoy the time that he does get with his wife. The experience has drastically improved their relationship. Ben says that without the help of the supportive staff and volunteers at the Grove, he wouldn’t be able to function and that he wouldn’t be able to go on. This program allows the couple to continue living together in their home, and that is the greatest gift that they could ask for. R0013068117

McNab-Braeside council supports Chamber gala, adds Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award tlepack@metroland.com
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A new award will be added to next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce Awards Gala set for April 9. McNab-Braeside council approved Mayor Tom Peckettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion for a Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award and to continue to support the gala at a cost of $500 at their council meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 16. The township currently hands out annual agricultural and business awards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for an outstanding person in the township who has made a big difference in the township,â&#x20AC;? explained Peckett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be hard to choose because we are full of people who have donated and helped out with every cause. There are a number of people who are deserving;we could hand out a 100 awards.â&#x20AC;? The council was responding to a request from Cheryl Sparling, the administrative assistant for the chamber, who was making the formal request to council for continued support. The council is responsible for selecting and presenting their own awards, letting the recipients know and informing the chamber of any additional information about the selection process. SENIORS PROGRAM
Township council will continue to support a Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home pilot program that was approved by the previous council. Council allocated a maximum of $5,000
for mileage associated with the meals on wheels program for its new expanded delivery to McNab-Braeside residents, which the new council supported. The meals on wheels program has been running in Arnprior since 2012 and delivers to 218 clients in town. The new program will run in the Village of Braeside (proper) starting two days per week. The meals are delivered by volunteers at 11 a.m. excluding weekends and statutory holidays. However, the program has been having difficulty recruiting volunteers. Anyone interested in becoming a driver should contact Lisa Bottomley, co-ordinator of volunteers, at 613-623-7981 for full details. NEW TRUCK
A newly purchased truck will help staff cut grass in the township, after council approved the quote of $26,220 by B and T MacFarlane for provision of a new F3990 diesel tractor mower with a 60â&#x20AC;? cut. The report to council stated that staff, committee and the previous council felt the price increase between a new unit and a used mower was not significant enough to invest in something that already had many hours of operation on it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the amount of grass staff have to cut on a daily basis, it was deemed a better decision to buy new,â&#x20AC;? said the report. The previous council had tabled the decision twice to allow the new council to deal with it.

Opinion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If the holidays have you secretly loosening your belt before the dessert is served, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in good company. The average person consumes a whopping 3,500 calories with this dinner alone and although it takes one meal to consume 3,500 calories, it will take approximately seven
days to lose those unwanted calories. The following are some key points to help you enjoy the holidays while managing those extra calories. 1. The white meat, dark meat debate. Actually white meat is marginally leaner than dark. Just remember to trim off any excess fat and remove the skin. Skin can add almost 50 per cent more fat to your meal. Best bet for cooking a bird is to roast it or bake it.
2. Adding gravy that has more flavour than fat. Make your own by using low-fat, nosodium chicken broth rather than drippings from the roasting pan or if drippings are a family requirement, freeze them for about 60 minutes, which makes it easier to skim off the fat before mixing the juice with equal amounts of low-fat, no-sodium chicken broth to create a low fat gravy. 3. Stuff your bird with whole grains. Bake the stuffing separately so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t soak up the grease from the bird (safer too since this ensures that the stuffing gets cooked all the way through). Instead of boring white bread crumbs, try a whole-grain mixture like the slightly nutty flavour of quinoa, brown rice pilaf or a bulgur stuffing. 4. Skip a bland salad and add a touch of super green.â&#x20AC;ŻKale, the dark, leafy green has been on dinner plates since Roman times and has long been common across much of Europe. The vegetable hails from the cabbage family, which also includes broccoli, cauliflower, and collards. Kale is more popular than ever, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s packed with vitamins and minerals. Kale can be sautĂŠed or used in a salad. 5. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the cranberries. We know cranberry sauce as a staple at the holidays, but cranberries are a superfood that should be enjoy all year round. Cranberries have vitamin C and fibre and are low in calories. Cranberries also outrank nearly every fruit
and vegetable including strawberries, spinach, broccoli, red grapes, apples, raspberries and cherries as a disease fighter and antioxidant. Use only fresh cranberry sauce since the canned version is packed with added sugar. 6. Mashed potatoes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be heavy on the fat. Try using Becel margarine instead of butter or better yet, use low-fat, no-sodium chicken broth. Your mashed potatoes will come out creamy and your guests will never know that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no butter. For an even healthier version try mashing one sweet potato for every regular potato. 7. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go heavy on the drinks. Every toast you make adds calories. For a lighter version take one half glass of white wine and mix it to one half glass of bubbly water. You will be cutting your calories from about 120 to 60. 8. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skip the pie. Eat the pie and leave the crust behind, as crazy as this sounds, a lot of the sugar and fat can come from the pie crust. Remember itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the cake or pie that adds calories, it is also what accompanies the dessert like whipped cream or ice cream.

Being a bird brain is not a bad thing MICHAEL RUNTZ
In winter young ravens gather at carcasses where they perform ritualized dominance and courtship displays.
Michael Runtz Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way out most of Ontario, and as many as 90 are tallied on recent PakenhamArnprior Christmas Bird Counts. Their coarse grunts and squawks can be heard in most urban centres, and their bulky stick nests adorn bridges, tall buildings and farm silos. Ravens were considered birds of the North, but they have undergone a rapid range expansion southward. They now nest along Lake Ontario as far south as Toronto. This expansion might seem puzzling, for southern species such as Red-bellied Woodpeckers are moving north with climate change. Why are

of their former range. They are now common in our area. Ravens are resourceful birds, and find garbage dumps to be excellent sources of food. But they primarily benefit from the death of large animals, and in winter exploit the efforts of wolves and coyotes. Interestingly, they cannot tear open intact carcasses and depend on those large predators to do that job for them. Ravens sometimes work as a team, with one luring a wolf away from a carcass while the other sneaks in for a quick bite.
Occasionally, large, noisy groups of ravens gather at carcasses. These are juvenile birds that travel in gangs. Their cacophony attracts other young ravens, and great displays of pompous strutting and feather raising erupt at these gatherings. It turns out the young males are sorting out dominance, and the dominant ones are pairing up with females. In a way, young ravens treat carcasses as single bars. Now that is clever!

ravens apparently doing the opposite? The southern expansion is actually reclamation of their former territory. Historically, ravens were found through much of eastern North America, but deforestation and poisoning devastated their numbers. The poison was destined for wolves, and was placed in carcasses of large animals killed by those predators. Because ravens in winter scavenge carcasses (they depend on wolves for much of their food), they also fell victim to that despicable campaign. The poisoning eventually stopped and raven populations began slowly recovering. As their numbers grew, ravens began reoccupying much R0702275076
Lifestyle - When I was young I was constantly teased about my love of birds. In school my nickname was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Birdmanâ&#x20AC;? and occasionally the moniker â&#x20AC;&#x153;Birdbrainâ&#x20AC;? was inflicted on me. Back then, the latter term was insulting, but if I had known what I know now about the brains of birds, I would have taken it as quite a compliment. The birds touted as being the most intelligent belong to the family Corvidae. You may not know that term, but you certainly know several members of the group. American Crows, Common Ravens, and Blue Jays, all common in our area, are Corvids. Crows are legendary for their ability to solve problems associated with accessing food, and ravens may well be one of the brainiest birds in the world. Half a century ago Common Ravens were anything but common. In the early 1970s seeing even one locally in mid-winter was an exciting event. In those years ravens were rare in the lower Ottawa Valley; Gatineau Park was among the few places one might expect to encounter one. Today ravens are common through-

Santa needs to bring Arnprior Packers a clean bill of health Tiffany Lepack
tlepack@metroland.com
Sports – Arnprior Packers general manager and head coach Bill Griese has one Christmas wish for Santa Claus. “For everybody to get healthy,” said Griese. “I want a full line-up to see what we can really do.” The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJL) team has been plagued by injuries this season and Griese says the Packers have only played two games with a full line-up. “But I am glad we are going through this now,” said Griese. The teams’ assistant captain Brayden Harvey has only played 15 games this season due to a collapsed lung. Before he was injured, the defenceman had two goals and three assists. Forward Curtis Foster has only played six games due to a hand injury and had scored two goals and had one assist. Both Foster and Harvey are expected back in mid-January. Although the Packers have had a number of players in and out of the line-up due to injuries, the team is still doing well heading into the Christmas break. The Packers currently sit in third place in the Valley Division with a record of 14-10-1 after 25 games.
In first place Eastern Ontario junior Hockey League are the Renfrew Valley Division standings (as of Dec. 19) Timberwolves with a record GP W L OTL SOL Pts of 18-5-1-1 and Renfrew 25 18 5 1 1 38 in second place Stittsville 24 16 7 0 1 33 are the StittsArnprior 25 14 10 1 0 29 ville Rams.

Another Christmas memory for Arthur came a ‘few years ago’ when he watched his son Shane play in the Boxing Day tournament for CHRISTMAS MEMORIES the Packers. They also won that year and went on to win According to them it was a prestigious tournament for all of the teams involved and they the league championship. “I was just watching as a dad,” said Arthur. were both proud Arnprior won the last one. “It was quite a thrill for everyone.

Pontiacs at home. “We are a good skating team and it helps us when we are not playing in a small rink, like in Shawville,” said Griese. “It’s all about discipline and puck movement.” On Dec. 30 the Packers travel to Renfrew to face the Timberwolves at 8 p.m. The last two games between the teams both went into overtime. On Nov. 7 Arnprior won, 5-4 in the extra frame and on Nov. 28 it was Renfrew who needed the added period and won 5-4. “I’m not sure we will do anything differently,” said Griese. “It’s all about goaltending; we both have 21-year-old goalies. And they just picked up former league scoring champion Blair Barr from Almonte and they will be a better team with him.” Griese says they need some breaks to win against Renfrew. “To beat Renfrew we need some saves and some opportunistic goals,” said Griese. To start the New Year off the Packers will play a home-and-home series with Stittsville. On Jan. 2 they play in Arnprior at 8 p.m. and Jan. 4 in Stittsville at 2:30 p.m. “They are a lot like us with injuries,” said Griese. “I think they are on par with Renfrew.” The Packers played the Clarence Beavers on Dec. 19 in Arnprior and the Thunder in Almonte on Dec. 20. Results were not available before the early Christmas press deadlines.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.
MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.
By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals Services marty.clement@ca.ey.com (613) 598-4894
This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability
of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.
Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

The true meaning of a Christmas concert Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Just as Joseph and Mary with child walked from Nazareth through the starry, starry night two thousand years ago, so did an Arnprior dad, wife, and son make their way to the annual Christmas concert. Except in the case of the latter, the son was burgeoning on teenagehood, which accounts for why he wore perfectly nice dress shoes in the slushy snow while carrying sneakers in his hand. The inexplicabilities of youth vanity. What advice would that humble carpenter have offered a fellow father? They parted at John Street: the child to meet classmates at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic; the parents to Saint John Chrysostom Parish Hall. All were mildly annoyed with one another, but the mother gritted her teeth and wished the boy well. The father managed to keep his mouth shut. The Christmas Spirit shivered slightly. ***
There are two types of people who attend church, and by extension attend childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas concerts. At church those who arrive early and sit in the front pew are the guardians of civility and role models for colouring in the lines.
all manner of high-pitched noises and humiliating movements â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also known as singing and dancing to non-sports jocks. The least Mom and Dad could have done was be in the front row, hearts aglow and cameras aflashing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want, Dad,â&#x20AC;? says the youngest somewhere in a reporterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind. ***
The Christmas concert is one of the few places where mistakes are universally lauded as adorable. Nowhere else in life would we accept six-yearolds shouting their brains out and call it singing. Nowhere would we put the aloof Grade 8 students on display and call it entertainment. St. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was typical in many ways. Red velvet dresses and white tights on the younger girls. Ties falling halfway down boastful bellies on the younger boys. Lots of barn animal noises. Lots of talk about The Greatest Story Ever Told. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always one face right over the microphone shouting things like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Nannaâ&#x20AC;? during the Derek Dunn/Metroland performance. Another belts it out like a Tony winJacki Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grade 1 class performs the first song of the evening during St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ner.

Right: Kindergarten students perform the classic Rudolph during St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dec. 16 show titled Grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas Memories. Continued from page 23
However, there were two key differences this year. One was the story-within-the-show. It nicely tied everything together. At the beginning a grandfather welcomed his daughter and her three kids to his home. The mother then rushed to the kitchen off stage. The kids asked for a story, queuing Mrs. Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grade 1 class on stage. They sang Christmas Star. It was delightful. Obviously. Then the second important change happened. Every small town newspaper photographer knows the importance of catching that first class. The littlest are the cutest. The cutest take the best photo. Ergo your editor wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rifle a whiskey bottle at your head. So, on this night, the first class was super sweet. That meant elbowing past all the moms and dads with their point-and-shoots to secure the best location for â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ahem - a professional shot. Mission complete, it was time to get
back of the hall. The rest wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be nearly as adorable. Trouble was - the next group seemed just as cute as the first one. How can that be? Then the next one was just as cute as the last. It couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be so. One after another the younger classes were sweetness upon sweetness! It was enough to make a reporterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small heart grow three times that day. ***
The Joseph and Mary of Arnprior at the back of the parish hall could see each of their boys on stage as clearly as though no one else were in the room. Such good lads. Strong, decent. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get through much worse and come out the better for it. Both boys appreciate the leeway granted them to be toocool during the other 364 days of the year. Same with their friends on stage: This one is for the parents â&#x20AC;Ś meaning the mothers. Each of Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys did what was expected of him,
obviously; in the full knowledge that every father in the room was, if not silently teasing him, then outwardly grateful their days of performing at annual Christmas concert are way in the past. Then the other shoe dropped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the freakinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sneakers on.â&#x20AC;? At the bottom of black dress pants and a black dress shirt those stupid sneakers. They positively glowed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You knew he would.â&#x20AC;? Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay. Maybe he deserves that one small act of rebellion. Who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t admire the little guy who dropped to the stage and turned his back on the entire scene? Even if the sneakers look goofy in adult eyes, let him have that one expression of individuality during a choreographed routine that could sap the pride from Moses himself. During the walk home under plump and slowly falling snowflakes, Dad didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t razz his sons about the concert. Not once. Surely that is the true meaning of Christmas

This Christmas was a different and memorable one for Mary Lifestyle - Was it really so long ago, on that special Christmas morning when everything was the same as other Christmas mornings, but so very different on looking back? That special day, of course, didn’t allow for special privileges. We still had early morning chores to do, we had to have a full breakfast, the kitchen had to be redded up, and we had to be fully dressed, and ready for church, all before we got near the Christmas tree propped in a corner of the kitchen. The tree was always in the kitchen, even though the blasts from the old Findlay Oval, caused it to shed, and leave it with pretty scant branches by the time Christmas morning rolled around. Putting up the tree in the parlour, the smallest room in the old log house was never an option. As soon as the first blasts of winter hit Northcote, the room was closed up with a rolled braided rug shoved tight against the door to keep out the draft, and it would

stay that way until the snow was gone. So there was the tree, propped in a corner by the icebox, anchored with wires into the wainscoting to keep it from falling over. Finally, we had done the chores, had our breakfast, we were dressed for church, and Father moved over to the tree, sat down on the floor, and made a great pretense of not being able to read the cards Santa had attached to each parcel. On other Christmas mornings, we were handed out stockings first. These weren’t the fancy red felt stockings

you could buy at the Dime Store for 10 cents ... these were Father’s grey work socks, each with a name attached to the top. No, that morning, we were handed the parcels first. There were the usual hand-knit mitts, a small book ... we always could count on a book ... and a small toy. I remember mine as if it were handed to me yesterday. It was a small game of Chinese checkers. It looked very much like the very same game I had seen in the Dime Store weeks before.But I was thrilled. Especially when I found it wrapped inside my very first pair of long white stockings. Such luxury was simply beyond me. I had never owned a pair of white stockings before. Finally, all that was left were the five stockings. As Father picked the first one up, he told us we were not to look inside until everyone had his stocking in his hand. It all sounded very mysterious to me, but it added to the excite-

ment. I knew for a fact there would be an orange in the toe. We always got an orange - our once-a-year orange. When Father was sure we each had our stockings, he gave us the nod that we could dig into them. I couldn’t understand why we all had to do it at once, the stockings were usually not too interesting, but that morning, Father and Mother seemed more excited that any of us five children. The first thing we found was an envelope with our name on it. It was Mother’s writing, and the envelope was the kind we used back then - flimsy and blue-lined. Well, let me tell you, when we ripped into the envelope, you could hear the yells in Renfrew. Inside each was a crisp $1 bill. Not one of us had ever, in our entire lives, had a $1 bill. I had once been able to amass 33 cents tied in the corner of my hankie and thought I was rich beyond means. But a whole dollar in the form of a bill? Unheard of. “Where did it come from?” I was the first to ask. And then Mother explained it all to us. Uncle Lou, our rich uncle from New York, the one with the big black Buick. The uncle who wore pressed grey flannels. The uncle who put the terrazzo floor in the Waldorf Astoria, had sent Mother a $5 bill, and she was to have it changed at the bank in Renfrew, and each of us five children was to have a

whole dollar in our stocking! Mother laughed when she told us how she had to go into the bank with an American $5 bill, and change it into Canadian money ... and how the teller had to know all about it. And I knew Mother would have told her about her rich brother in New York, and how good he was to all of us, all the way out there in Northcote. Emerson, Everett and Earl folded their dollars into small squares and squirreled them away into their Sunday pants pockets. Audrey put hers in her shoe, which I thought was a silly place for a dollar bill, but then I knew she would likely show it off to her friend Iva at church. I knew mine would go into the little drawer of my washstand upstairs ... not tied in the corner of my hanky. Oh no! It would be laid out flat under my pile of hankies, and I wouldn’t spend it on something foolish. The rest of what was in our stockings paled in comparison to our crisp $1 bills. In fact, by the time we were in the sleigh on the way to the Lutheran Church in Northcote, I couldn’t remember a thing in my stocking, except of course the $1 bill. And the orange. May I take this opportunity to wish all of you the most merriest of Christmases. And my prayer is that you will be surrounded by loved ones, and remember the true message in this joyous time of year.

Counts key in monitoring bird trends News - Throughout the holiday season, many Ontarians enjoy one decadent feast after another. Why not use those newly-acquired calories to help our feathered friends? The Christmas Bird Count, initiated by American ornithologist Frank Chapman in 1900, is a one-day bird census conducted by volunteers. Counts are organized locally by birding and nature clubs. They are free and open to everyone – no matter skill or age. This year, counts are running from Dec. 14 to Jan. 5. Visit the Ontario Nature websites to find local counts. Ontario Nature member groups are co-ordinating more than 70 counts. The Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club will hold the 101st annual Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird count on Boxing Day, Friday, Dec. 26. The Carleton Place CBC will be held on Saturday, Dec. 27. The Christmas Bird Count is the longest-running wildlife census and a crucial part of Canada’s biodiversity monitoring database. Each citizen scientist who braves the snow, wind and cold to take part in a count, contributes to the study and conservation of birds. Data collected are used to monitor the status of resident and migratory birds across the Western Hemisphere. “The Christmas Bird Count is a fun tradition with an important goal – bird study and conservation,” says Anne Bell, director of conservation and education at Ontario Nature. “It’s great to see expert and novice birders working together to spot as many species as possible, regardless of the weather.”
Last year in Ontario, more than 4,000 people participated in 110 Christmas bird counts. A whopping 178 species and 1,094,937 individual birds were recorded. Here are some highlights: • a record number of trumpeter swans (160) were spotted at LaSalle Marina in Burlington; • snow bunting was the sixth most abundant bird reported, reaching a record tally of 101,541; • participants of 58 counts recorded 284 snowy owls. By comparison, participants of 29 counts recorded 52 snowy owls the year before; • common redpoll, pine siskin, crossbill and grosbeaks were absent or present in smallerthan-usual numbers in counts across southern Ontario; • Linwood count participants recorded a near record number of rough-legged hawks (119); • Peel count participants spotted a Ross’s goose; • Pakenham-Arnprior count participants spotted 350 dark-eyed juncos, a new high for this species; • participants of the Blenheim and Hamilton counts spotted 98 species, the greatest number among all Ontario counts last year. What avian rarities and trends will birders uncover this year? Join a Christmas Bird Count to find out. To register for the Carleton Place count, contact Iain Wilkes at 613-257-1126 or iain.wilkes@hotmail.com. To participate in the Pakenham-Arnprior count, contact Michael Runtz at 613-387-2503 or emial mruntz@start.ca.

OPP release sketches of two Renfrew home invasion suspects News - The Renfrew OPP have released sketches of the suspects in a Nov. 20 home invasion in Renfrew. At about 8:20 p.m., officers responded to a break-and-enter at a home on Dominion Street in Renfrew. Two men entered the residence through a side door, threatened and assaulted the adult resident of the home. The suspects fled with an undisclosed quantity of cash.
The suspects are described as: Suspect number 1 - male, white, 5’6” - 5’7” tall, 30-40 years old, heavy build, speaking very clear English with French accent, dark coat, dark pants, no gloves, dark grey or black balaclava covering entire head with the exception of eye/nose area, prescription glasses, mole along the side of the upper part of his nose Suspect number 2 - male,
white (quite pale), average build, average height, in his 20s, speaking English with no accent, dark brown/black thick hair and was overdue for a haircut, dark eyebrows, no facial hair. The OPP Canine Unit attended but was unable to locate the suspects. If anyone has information about this crime, call the Renfrew OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or 613432-3221. Suspect One
Suspect Two
Drive carefully when travelling this holiday, home and away News - Wherever you go this Christmas, drive carefully. Police are asking drivers, who will be crossing the borders in large numbers, to abide by the laws in force when travelling outside their home territory, and to drive courteously and increase their vigilance, given the increased numbers of drivers on the roads.
Operation Safety Without Borders is be carried out in partnership with the Ontario Provincial Police and Sûreté du Québec with the police services of the states of New York, Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire. This operation over the Christmas period is a timely opportunity for Canadian and U.S. police services to emphasize that the risk of being intercepted is the same everywhere.
Patrol officers will pay particular attention to speeding, failure to wear a seat belt, distracted driving and impaired driving by alcohol or drugs. “Be part of the solution,” urge police. “Report dangerous and impaired drivers immediately by calling 911, when you are safe to do so.” If possible, provide the plate number and any descriptors of the vehicle and its occupants.

The people of Ontario have faced all kinds of emergencies, from ice storms and power outages to tornadoes and industrial accidents. We will face more in the future. Emergencies can strike at any time, and being prepared is critical since it can take time for help to arrive. Everyone should have an emergency plan and a kit to take care of themselves for at least three days. Your emergency plan should reflect your personal circumstances and unique needs. In an emergency, you may not have access to everyday conveniences, and you may be asked to evacuate your home. Thinking about what you would do is the first step to being prepared. You should prepare an Emergency Plan. :PVS &NFSHFODZ 1MBO TIPVME JODMVEF Two safe locations in case you have to leave your home. One should be nearby, such as a local library or community centre. The other one should be farther away, outside your neighbourhood, in case the emergency affects a large area. A family communication plan. During an emergency, local telephone lines and networks may not work. Identify one or two out-of-town contacts you and your loved ones can call to connect and share information. A list of the people in your personal support network. This includes all the people who will be able to help when you need it. Consider including family members, neighbours, and healthcare and personal support workers. For more information on how to Be Prepared! please contact your local Emergency Management Coordinator at cemc@mcnabbreaside.com or visit www.emergencymanagementontario.ca/beprepared

Message from Queen’s Park
Monthly Column by MPP John Yakabuski Monthly Column – Christmas 2014 The fall session of the Legislature rose for the Christmas recess on Thursday, December 11th, 2014, leaving the opposition only 2 days to question the government on the Auditor General’s Report. It is convention that the report be released prior to the end of the fall session but it is the government that determines the actual date. Not surprisingly, the government set Tuesday, December 9th as its release date, leaving as I said earlier, the opposition only two sitting days to question and challenge the government on its contents. While there were many things in the Auditor General, Bonnie Lysyk’s report to cause concern, including her projection that the provincial debt will rise to 325 billion by 2017/2018 and that the Kathleen Wynne liberals are in no way on pace to eliminate the deficit by that time. I will concentrate on just two of the matters that she raised, regarding the very important issue of what you pay for electricity. It turns out that the liberals much ballyhooed introduction of “smart meters” is costing you almost double what they said it would - 1.9 billion dollars for a program that has not delivered the promised results. They have not succeeded in reducing peak demand nor have they succeeded in requiring less new generation to be built. These were two of the key points, the liberal government made when they introduced smart meters.
On December 16th, I had the opportunity to address the incoming council for the County of Renfrew at their inaugural meeting. I wish to congratulate each and every one of them for their electoral success and assure you as I assured them, that I will continue to take their concerns on issues of a provincial nature to Queen’s Park. Let me also take this time, to express on behalf of Vicky and our family, our best wishes to each and every one of you for a Blessed and Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy 2015.

The Hy-Liners get ready to ‘spread some Christmas cheer’ by performing for residents and their caregivers at the hospital. In the front from left are Shirley Yach, Maureen Curtis, Hyacinth Chatterton (instructor), Carol Lacroix and Phyllis Jones; and in back Edileide Cathcart, Colleen Blimkie, Mary Coreau, Bonnie Brake, Parise Guerette and Moe Lacroix. Absent but joining the group at the hospital was Rosemary Drziak. My Guy, Hook Stomp Vine and the Cupid Shuffle. The performance of 11 dances was very well received by everyone present, said Chatterton. The audience was especially delighted when the Hy-Liners encouraged some staff members to join them to learn and dance the crowdpleaser, Hey, she added. In addition to the two Nick Smith Centre groups already mentioned, Chatterton offers weekly instruction for the dance-form at some other sites in nearby areas. The original group of Hy-Liners, from the Town of Mississippi-Mills, meets alternately between the Almonte Community Centre and Pakenham’s Stewart Community Centre. There is yet another group based in Almonte, whose sessions take place in the Old Town Hall. In Carleton Place,
a group dances at the Carambeck Community Centre; and the most recently-formed group meets at White Lake’s new Darling-White Lake Community Centre. This makes a current total of six groups of Hy-Liners. “We all enjoy giving something back to the communities where we meet,” said Chatterton, “And we will continue to volunteer our time to make sure that this extra-curricular activity forms a part of our programming each term. We’re currently booked for this type of community involvement from January through to May, 2015.In promoting the activity, Chatterton has always pointed out that it is not only “fun to do,” but is also in the “good for you” category. Another advantage is that although partners are welcome, they are not required, as
is so often the case with many other dance-forms. And there are other bonus points. Line dancing is suitable for all ages and both genders, and is effective as a main activity or as an add-on to anyone’s ongoing regular exercise routines. In 2015, winter sessions will run from early January to late March, and spring sessions are scheduled for early April to late May. Many participants enjoy dancing at more than one site each term. Registration for winter 2015 is well underway. Everyone who wishes to line dance at any level is invited to contact Chatterton at 613-623-0976 or mais-brown@sympatico.ca. Now is the perfect time to pre-register or register for the programs you wish, in order to reserve a space in the weekly sessions that you’re planning to choose. R0013065110
In an unprecedented move, the liberals challenged the credibility of the Auditor General but let’s be clear, there is no motivation for Bonnie Lysyk to provide anything but accurate information. It is the liberals who are trying to protect their you know what. Ask yourself, who do you believe? You can access the full report at www. auditor.on.ca
Community – Some members of the line dance group - The Hy-Liners - who meet weekly at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior continued a tradition of entertaining residents and staff at the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital during the festive season. Their visit took place on Monday, Dec. 15 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The visit was a month earlier than usual for the group, noted Hyacinth Chatterton, the group’s instructor. Normally the dancers perform at the hospital in January. However, this time around the other group of local dancers, The Valley Booters and their instructor, Val Penno, were not available for their usual entertainment there in December, so the hospital readily accepted the HyLiners’ suggestion to trade months. Another ‘first’ for the Arnprior dancers, Chatterton noted, is the fact that they had a combined group performing. The intermediates, who have many years of experience, were joined by the beginners/novices, who started line dancing during the past year. Both groups met at the Nick Smith Centre in the early afternoon of the performance day for a brief dress rehearsal. This provided a first-time photo-opportunity of them practicing together, before heading to the hospital. The Hy-Liners available to participate represented the areas of White Lake, Waba, Kinburn, Galetta, Carleton Place, Braeside and Arnprior. With their visit to the hospital being scheduled to coincide with the last day of the fall 2014 term, the Hy-Liners ended their activities for the session that afternoon. The line dances were presented in various formations: lines, interactiverounds, contras and circles. The dance choices were well-balanced to include some of the ‘oldies-and-goldies’ such Vaya Con Dios, Rita’s Waltz, Rio, the Lindi Shuffle, Hey, The Electric Slide and an old favourite All My Exes. Among the comparatively newer dances performed were To the Moon,

One of the reasons that they have failed was the introduction of the Green Energy Act which has caused the mysterious “global adjustment” to soar. The global adjustment is not well understood by most electricity ratepayers but simply put, it is the difference between the wholesale market price of electricity and the amount the province pays to its generators through the exorbitant contracts they have signed with them. 60% of that can be traced to wind and solar. What the Auditor found will shock you. The cost of the global adjustment which is hidden on most people’s electricity bills, will amount to a staggering 50 billion dollars by 2015. Can you imagine, how many medical procedures could have been provided in the last 10 years with 50 billion dollars or how many highways, including 17 could have been four-laned.
