Although no clear victors emerged from the Sept. 22 Arnprior council candidates forum, the large crowd of some 140 in attendance at Arnprior District High School heard views on a wide array of issues. Questions ranging from the general – How will you improve the local economy? – to the specific – Should councillors be elected by ward rather than at large? – were answered by the six candidates on stage. Ted Strike, Lynn Grinstead, Mark Willmer, Jack Lammert, Doug Munro and Joe Zarb were offered audience questions through moderator and Chronicle-Guide managing editor Jason Marshall. The event was hosted by the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce (GACC). Missing were candidates Terry Gibeau, who was at a regional railway meeting; Dan Lynch, who was out of town on vacation, and Lyle Anderson, who had been released from hospital earlier that day. Lynch had a statement read for him by his campaign manager Bob Adkins. Asked about their top priority: • Willmer said keeping a balance between attracting industry and keeping taxes low with maintaining a good quality of life and environment; • Lammert said forming an effective council “team” through strong leadership; • Munro said bringing in business, especially boxstores, to generate revenue and prevent tax hikes; • Zarb called himself the “green” candidate and said alternative energy sources are his top issue, along with increasing tourism;

Elk spotted near Stewartville DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

An elk was spotted by about 10 motorists near Stewartville last week.

Chronicle-Guide sales representative Leslie Osborne said several people spotted the elk Sept. 20 in the Flat Rapids area. It was definitely larger than

Continued from front People were pulled over, said Osborne, who knows the area well. “They told me they were really excited to see it.” Elk tend to be very rare is this area, but they are starting to migrate to the Upper Ottawa Valley from up north. Another elk was mistakenly shot in the area three years ago. People seeing the elk said it was definitely wild and not from an elk farm in the region. The well-fed farm type have an evenly-coloured dark coat from snout to tail. But this one was light on top and dark underneath, a sure sign of malnutrition. The animal, which stood around for about 10 minutes before leaving, didn’t appear to mind being the centre of attention. Onlookers suggested that cameras set up in the area to help hunters determine opportune locations to down a deer might capture the elk on digital.

Arnprior’s most famous pony tail will soon be nothing but a memory. That is, if the community responds to a challenge by Bill McAllister of McAllister Ford. He has promise to “take it all off,” the pony tail, beard and mustache, if the community raises $5,000 for the Arnprior and District Breast Cancer Support Group. McAllister has not cut his hair for seven years, and he is ready to take the plunge, but for a price. He will shave his head and face clean if the donation goal is met in time for the support group’s 13th annual roast beef and turkey buffet dinner Tuesday, Oct. 19. If the $5,000 is raised by Oct. 19, the hair will come off during the evening’s activities. Pledge sheets are available at the Arnprior Public Library and McAllister Ford. Tax receipts will be issued upon request.

Continued from front • Strike said solar energy offers good opportunities and wants to solve the putrid smell near Madawaska bridge, along with doing more roadwork; • Grinstead talked about branding the town, keeping the downtown historic designation, and pressing for more development. Drawing the strongest audience reaction was the proposed retail power centre near Highway 417 that may have seen a Walmart come to town. A questioner asked who was in favour. Applause erupted when Lammert said, loud and proud, “Yes.” Munro, Strike, and Grinstead followed suit, also to much applause. Zarb said ‘yes’ but to a more unique boxstore than Walmart, which has a store in Renfrew and other in Kanata. Willmer was the only candidate to start his oneminute speech to boos, but ended it with mild clapping. He said he voted for the proposal, but the project was put on hold because the economy was down. Few in the audience seemed to accept that explanation. Then Willmer said it goes back to his statement that industry must be balanced by quality of life, to which he appeared to win over some observers. A major theme developing in the election is whether voters want to stay the course with many of incumbents, or change course with new candidates. An issue that explores that dichotomy is the water bill controversy. Incumbent Lammert apologized and Willmer said it never should have happened. He also agreed with newcomer Munro that an outside expert is needed – and expected – to assess what went wrong. Newcomers Zarb and Grinstead said staff is doing its best to solve the problems, adding the worst is behind users. The issue was put in sharper focus when one questioner called council “dysfunctional.” Strike sidestepped the term, but said his experience as someone who was both a town employee and elected councillor tells him the key is to be a “team player.” Grinstead said council isn’t dysfunctional, but has a healthy “passion about town.” Willmer said the leadership needs to be more “inclusive” but that some disagreements will arise. Both Lammert and Zarb disagreed that council has been dysfunctional. On branding the town, Zarb, Strike and Grinstead all championed promoting the town to Ottawa and beyond. Munro said current residents “can’t be selfish” and must share with developers. Lammert said the economic development committee needs time to produce results. Willmer indicated there is room for luring daytrippers from Ottawa who want an eco-adventure, not simply admire quaint buildings like those in Perth. On taxes, responses went like this: • Zarb called for a complete audit; • Strike said some recreation and roadwork might have to wait in order to keep taxes in line; • Grinstead advocated a return to almost always choosing the lowest bid for town contracts; • Willmer said tax increases are kept low, but that it costs a lot of money to offer services such as the library, museum and others that neighbouring

McNab-Braeside doesn’t have; • Lammert said he is proud tax increases have stayed below three per cent for the last seven years, and challenged the audience to name the services they would cut. There was almost unanimous agreement on maintaining the current town hall, as opposed to building elsewhere. Lammert was the only one to say, if estimates are correct and it costs $2 million

to renovate or $2 million to build, he’s in favour of building. The chamber’s Gib McMullen was impressed with the turnout and the tough questions posed. He said almost all candidates handled themselves in a professional manner worthy of the job. On Oct. 25 it is up to the voters.

“It’s the most interest in a debate we’ve ever seen from the public,” McMullen said. “I think that came through on the public who wanted and needed answers. They were good questions, well thought out, and about things that affected them.” The mayoral and reeve debate was scheduled for Sept. 29 (after press deadline) at the Nick Smith Centre.

Candidates split over favouring current council or wanting change

Willmer offers to bridge differences at council Southern sidewalk? DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Mark Willmer came from Ottawa to Arnprior in 1979 for work. The first job for the young man in his early 20s was as pool program director for the municipality. He recently remembered that first day, as he signed up for yet another municipal race. He toured Robert Simpson Park back then; ate lunch at the now closed Fat Albert’s across from town hall. He couldn’t have known his political career would see him serve with five different mayors. “I loved the park,” said Willmer, whose day job is at the city of Ottawa. “For a first job it was great.” Willmer prides himself an “independent” on council, showing leadership by forming consensus among often widely differing viewpoints. The 17-year veteran of council – who took two hiatuses to regain perspective – said this last council was not as dysfunctional as some observers maintain. There were significant

MARK WILLMER disagreements, he said, but democracy is often messy. “This council’s been good. There have been some conflicts, and some things I’m hoping the new council will address,” said Willmer, who

stresses he likes to stay positive. “We’ve gotten a lot done infrastructure-wise, managed to get a lot of grants. I think we’ve accomplished a lot.” Among the hard infrastructure projects currently under construction: • $17.2 million sewage plant expansion; • $675,000 library expansion; • $100,000 airport taxiway rehabilitation; • $750,000 Nick Smith dressing room upgrades; • $7.2 million water filtration plant. All costs are split three ways with other levels of government, and are expected to meet the federal government’s stimulus fund deadline. Willmer also stands by council’s handling of the proposed retail power centre near Highway 417. Council didn’t stonewall but ensured due diligence. The developer backed off in the end because the economy faltered and similar boxstores exist in nearby Kanata and Renfrew, he said. “It’s the responsible thing

to do due diligence. We did approve the whole deal, but not just carte blanche. Other areas expect conditions in place,” he said. Willmer said he favours development and growing the town, but he doesn’t want to see the small town feel and high quality of life suffer. He also sees the lack of an OPP contract, not as the negative some observers have claimed, but as the best of three options. “I didn’t see any advantages to switching to a municipal force,” he said. “Policing is costly these days.” If re-elected Willmer will push for parks in every neighbourhood, plus more pathways. “It’s a simple formula. Do what is best for the town,” he said, adding that he has the advantage of working for a municipality, representing a municipality, and living in a municipality. “You really can make a difference as a councillor in a small town. That’s what I like about it. You are not dealing with all the red tape. It’s very refreshing and you get a chance to help people.”

Arnprior council has OKed staff to investigate the cost of constructing the Arthur Street sidewalk on the south instead of the scheduled north. Mayor Terry Gibeau and Coun. Eric Burton voted against the move. Burton said the residents don’t want any sidewalk, and that it would be “a sidewalk to nowhere” if built. Staff and other councillors say not building it would set a negative precedent and break the sidewalk network.

The town has altered water bill issue dates and payment deadlines to give Arnprior residents more time to pay as problems in the transition from a manual to an automated water reading-billing system are being resolved. The next water bill, covering August, September and October, will be sent out in November with the pay date the end of that month. The next due date is not Oct. 31 as was erroneously indicated in a ChronicleGuide headline last week. The final billing period of 2010 will be for two months, November and Decem-

ber, with the due date for payment Jan. 31. With the transition complete, the bills sent out in November and January for the last five months of 2010 will reflect water usage through meter readings, not estimates, so should give residents a better idea of what their real water costs are. The four-month bills from April to July were based on estimates as all the new meters weren’t installed until July. Unless council decides otherwise, the town will resume quarterly billing in 2011 with the first bill to cover January, February and March.

Gary Haybecker isn’t letting a little thing like living in Calgary prevent him from entering the Fall Brawl in Arnprior this Saturday, Oct. 2. Haybecker, who grew up in Arnprior and won the Arnprior Fair’s demolition derby a couple of times, will be entering in the four – and six-cylinder classes in the Arnprior Agricultural Society’s inaugural Fall Brawl. It will be held at the Arnprior Fairgrounds starting at 2 p.m., with a dance

with Catalyst to follow in the evening. Haybecker, a heavy equipment operator, is sponsored by his former employer, Cavanagh Construction, and Bill’s Appraisal. Agricultural Society director Scott Rancourt, who is organizing the Fall Brawl with Ed Carron of Ed’s Auto Parts and Salvage, says there are entrants from as far away as Toronto (and Calgary), attracted by the generous prize purse. He expects the crowd to be into the thousands Saturday. “It will be the place to be,” he said. “It should be a lot of fun.”

JOHN CARTER

john.carter@metroland.com

Robert Campbell says township spending in McNab-Braeside should be curbed to keep property taxes reasonable. The beef farmer and former Gillies Lumber foreman is hoping it will be third time lucky. He has run twice unsuccessfully for McNabBraeside council before, but not in the last two elections. His family has been farming in the Braeside area for six generations and he worked 27 years for Gillies before it closed in 1992. “I feel taxes are just too high,” he says. “We need to look carefully at where our tax dollars are being spent … I think our spending is sometimes just plain reckless.” Campbell, a distant cousin of mayor candidate Mary Campbell, pledges to not vote for tax increases “unless it is proven that we cannot survive without it.” He questions the need for the recent hiring of a public works

ROBERT CAMPBELL director. It “doesn’t add up” that the township is paying for a full-time property manager, yet only a part-time mayor, he says. He says the township has undertaken some major projects in the last term, so should now ease off and concentrate on “maintaining what we’ve got.” Campbell says the tax burden can be alleviated by increasing the township’s tax base. “We need to work with Arnprior and Renfrew to bring long-term, good-paying jobs to our area,” he says.

Some of the government jobs in Ottawa should be moved up the Valley, he suggests, noting that would help alleviate the commuter problems. “It’s the government that seems to be doing all the hiring,” he says. “Some of the people can even work out of their homes.” Campbell argues increasing the tax base and keeping tax increases in check is so important because many ratepayers, particularly senior citizens, are having a tough time staying afloat financially. Rising assessments and taxes are making it almost impossible for most people to buy homes in Toronto and Montreal. If taxes aren’t reined in, some seniors, and younger people too, may not be able to afford to buy or stay in their homes in this area, he says. Rising taxes are also deterring local business, he adds, noting, as an example, taxes at Valley Roof Truss in Braeside have risen from $800 in 1993 to $3,512 in 2010, or more

than 400 per cent. Campbell says council also needs to do more to help and promote local businesses. The township should use local trades and businesses whenever possible, he says. “What kind of an example do we set for our constituents when we use outside sources for work that our local people can do handily and be price competitive,” he adds. He is concerned the final decision on allowing a permanent asphalt plant at the Braeside Quarry is taking so long. “I’d be against it if I have to smell it,” he says, noting the trend toward recycling asphalt may mean it is not needed. Campbell also says council should do more to recognize volunteers, especially firefighters, for what they do for the township, he says. Campbell says he has learned a lot of plain common sense from people he has worked with and listened to over the years. “I’d like to bring that to council.”

The candidate for mayor of Horton is Don Eady, not Rod Eady as indicated in last week’s Chronicle-Guide. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Campbell noted that municipal staff, particularly the CAO, have much more responsibility than they used to shoulder. The CAO has to oversee financial, planning and human resources issues, she said. “It’s a large body of knowledge they have to develop.” Campbell said to acquire the new CMO certification means a lot of hard work. Not many municipal officials have received it yet, although they are all working toward it, she explained. “It’s very demanding,” she said, noting the offiMcNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell, right, prescials have to keep up with changes and re-certify ents township CAO Noreen Mellema with her Certievery five years. fied Municipal Officer certification.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Arnprior election is about direction

Bring back the paper ballot

An over-arching issue has emerged in the Arnprior municipal election. It is an issue that is at once nebulous and all encompassing. Still, we maintain voters should consider it directly. It is about direction. Do you want to continue in the same direction, following many of the strategic plans and policies of the last four years? Or do you want a change in direction? There are many advantages to going in the same direction. The current council has accomplished much, particularly in the realm of infrastructure. We have spilled a lot of ink in this newspaper to share information on various projects, including today’s story about Mark Willmer’s bid for council. Suffice to say here that at least $26 million is being spent, much of it by other levels of government. All projects are expected to come in on time, a position many municipalities in Canada would envy. That deserves an applause to the hard work of staff and the steady hand of council. To OK hard infrastructure – the stuff that disappears underground and doesn’t win a politician many votes – is a testament to putting the town’s interests first. If you are satisfied with this direction, take a closer look at what is being said by Nancy Black, the lone mayoral candidate with experience at the municipal level, along with Walter Stack, Eric Burton, Tom Peckett, Willmer, Terry Gibeau and Jack Lammert. These are the candidates with experience on their side. But ... and who didn’t see the ‘but’ coming? But there is also something to be said for new ideas, new energy, and the promise of a new direction. We have spilled perhaps as much ink on issues that have troubled voters, frustrated service users, and even brought shame to the town. There is no need to go into detail here, but if you want a clean slate, consider the four remaining mayoral candidates: Ted Kelly, David Reid, Doug Smith and Jim Silye. At the reeve and council level, there is just as much enthusiasm among Alex Winter, Dan Lynch, Lynn Grinstead, Ted Strike, Doug Munro, Joe Zarb and Lyle Anderson. We have no doubt voters, in their collective wisdom, will lead the town in the right direction. First, however, weigh the pros and cons of each.

To the editor: Re: electronic voting in McNab-Braeside. I am upset at the McNab-Braeside council passing a bylaw outlawing our privilege to vote with a marked X on a paper ballot on election day. I have voted in every election be it federal, provincial or municipal for 60 years with an X on a paper ballot. This time I will not be voting for any member who was on council for the previous four years. If the electors of McNab-Braeside take the same attitude maybe we can be back voting with a paper ballot just like the electors in Admaston-Bromley Township in four years time.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Help: next generation must protect the Grove To the editor: It was 20 years ago today. The Beatles said so. On Oct. 16, 1990, I stood in front of the people at a public meeting in the old gymnasium of Arnprior District High School and said “No” to development of Gillies Grove. To my surprise, so did a majority of the community! I’m told over 500 people were in attendance at that public meeting. I remember the gymnasium was packed. The crowd was spilling into the hallway of the school and into the street. The atmosphere seemed electric. People were angry - outraged even that Gillies Grove was ever even considered for development. The Save the Grove Committee was born that night. What followed from that night was an education for me: in politics, human relations, and obsession. It was a job done lovingly, but it required ongoing, seemingly never-ending work. And what an effort it took from the community! Whenever a public meeting was required, the public came out in numbers in support of us. It really

was quite remarkable how well everyone stuck together to support the cause of keeping the woods intact. I am quite proud to have been a part of that history. I am glad I could help save a little something from my childhood to share with the children of the future. I know how close it came to being gone forever. I can still walk in the woods today and, as often as I can, I try to do just that. It has changed much since I first started wandering through in 1960, but today it is still a majestic and remarkable place. I remember encountering Mrs. Gillies on the way home from school when I was in an early grade. We chatted respectfully, as a grownup and child would in those days, and she chided me for taking a shortcut home, saying it would hurt the trees. I responded with what I knew: Gillies make money by cutting trees. She looked wistfully around at the huge pines enfolding us, and I was quite astonished when she said to me: “Whatever you do, don’t cut the trees. As long as you have the trees, you have

something. But if you cut the trees, you have nothing.” It was working with the Save the Grove Committee that I finally learned what she had meant. Some things have a value that cannot be bought. Though I have been asked, I leave any further work with Gillies Grove to nimbler minds and sturdier bodies. Lacking the necessary vim and vigour to lead a charge anymore, I will join the public in voting with my presence at public meetings in support of the cause to preserve the woods, as long as I am able. I never have, nor ever will, believe it could all be lost. I now trust in the next generation to stand up and confront the challenges that threaten Gillies Grove, so that you, too, can pass on to your children a piece of living history. You can if you want to. All you need do is believe and try. If someday someone wants to harm Gillies Grove, remind them of what the Beatles said. Let it be.

A woman struck by a truck at the intersection of Daniel and Elgin streets in Arnprior last Wednesday was rushed to hospital in Ottawa with suspected broken bones. Police say they’ve increased traffic tickets over the last two years by at least four times, with just as many warnings issued.

Renfrew County Paramedics tend to an teenager injured when the pickup she was riding in went into the ditch on County Road 508 (Calabogie Road) just south of the Highway 17 intersection at 5:50 p.m. Monday. Jena-Molly Dorion of Arnprior was taken by ambulance to Arnprior District Memorial Hospital, but her injuries were not believed to be serious.

Two traffic accidents result in injuries

Legion Week provides opportunity to celebrate, recognize Legion members and volunteers SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

The Arnprior Legion Branch 174 celebrated Legion Week with a host of activities held Sept. 19 to 26. The honours and awards evening on Sept. 23 was a chance to recognize long and exemplary service. Among those receiving pins was Bert Tourangeau, who was recognized for 65 years with the Legion. Also receiving a pin was Veterans Services Officer Mel Porter, who is available to advise and assist veterans, widows and exservicemen with benefits, information, and programs that may be available through the Legion and Veterans Affairs Canada. Legion officials assure clients that issues are dealt with in complete confidence. Anyone in the community having concerns on the Veterans programs should contact Porter at the Legion at 613-623-4722. Other Legion Week events

Forty years of banking recognized It was Sue Fraser day at the Arnprior RBC Royal Bank Aug. 13 when her employer and fellow employees recognized her 40 years of service at the branch. Fraser, now an account manager with the bank, has seen many changes since she started as a teller in 1970. Now living in Arnprior, she grew up in Kinburn and attended Arnprior District High School.

To mark her 40 years, bank staff set up a display of photographs of her throughout the years as she worked her way up to her present position. They served anniversary cake and other refreshments with 40th anniversary napkins and other accessories throughout the day to ensure all the bank’s, and Fraser’s, many clients realized how special the occasion was.

Final Farewell At left, with the cake congratulating Susan Fraser for 40 years with the RBC Royal Bank, in front from left, are Angie Barrett, Michelle Kelsey, branch manager Jackie Laughlin, Fraser, Joanna Green and Cheryl Anich; and behind Sheri Simmons, Lucy Rebertz, John Cook and Dawn Langley.

Connell wins big with fair entries

UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA GRACE ST. ANDREWS, ARNPRIOR:

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Independent candidate Hector Clouthier is blaming the Conservative government for losing last week’s long gun registry vote. “They (government) could have won this,” he said in a news release Sept. 22 right after the vote that saved the long gun registry from elimination. “They could have stood behind this with the full weight of their government if they believed in it so strongly, They could have made it a vote of confidence. They could have taken a stand.” Clouthier said that RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant is “playing games” with the voters of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke when it comes to gun control. Criticizing Gallant for what he calls 10 years of inaction, Clouthier says the Conservatives only brought the gun control issue to a vote in an attempt to create anger in rural Canada. “Honestly, I have the very distinct impression that, as hard as it is to believe, Mr. Harper, with Mrs. Gallant playing right along with him, actually preferred to lose the vote than win it,” said Clouthier. “Which is no big surprise, given the fact that Stephen Harper, himself, voted in favour of Bill C68 twice before in the past.” Clouthier said the fact it was brought up as a private member’s bill is evidence of the Harper Conservatives and Gallant attempting to take credit for doing something on an issue where promises have been made over the past many years. He is adamant the result was pre-engineered in the Conservative war room. He pointed to the government’s refusal to present a governmentsanctioned bill, something that would have had a greater chance of success, as indication it wasn’t serious in winning, “They wanted to lose this vote. They did this on purpose.” Clouthier said as an Independent he can fight for gun owners in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke without worrying about party politics getting in the way. The vote Sept. 22 saw the House of Commons vote 153 to 151 to scrap Tory MP Candice Hoeppner’s bill to abolish the long gun registry. All Conservatives MPs, including Gallant, voted against the motion, The Liberals and the Bloc Quebecois voted for it, while the NDP members were split. Harper has promised the government will not give up in its attempts to eliminate the registry.

Natural Resources for Gallant

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant begins the fall session of Parliament with additional responsibilities, She has been appointed a permanent member of the Standing Committee

on Natural Resources. This appointment is in addition to her position as a permanent member of the Standing Committee on National Defence and her vice-chair position on the NATO Committee.

Gallant noted the Natural Resourc- 13 es committee is important to her riding because it deals with forestry issues. As well, the Atomic Energy of Canada (AECL) reports to Parliament through this committee, she said. September 30 2010 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE

Hello Arnprior, my name is Evan Campbell, co-op student of Arnprior District High School, and I will be working with the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide and West Carleton Review from now until Jan. 24. Seeing as this is the first time I have had to write something about myself for more than just my teachers to see, this is going to be a challenge, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give it my best. What better way for me to improve my skills as a writer and photographer than working here at the paper. I have always enjoyed taking pictures and, hopefully, I will be making a career out of it in the years to come. After college my goal would be to get a job as a photographer in the world of extreme sports, such as snowboarding or mountain biking. These sports have always been big in my life and taking pictures of them is something I look

forward to. My passion for photography has expanded in the last three years since the purchase of my first camera. Now I have expanded my gear and started my own freelance jobs, including taking pictures of all the new development sites around town. I look forward to having my work published in the paper, so that everyone can enjoy what I have taken and finally I can get some notice for them. Though I do love taking pictures, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only thing I enjoy doing. I am on the high school Alpine snowboard team. I mountain bike and wakeboard. I fish. I hunt. I love the outdoors and hanging out with my friends. I consider myself as a bit of an easy-going, laid-back, funny kind of guy and I think my peers can back this up. I hope that everyone is looking forward to seeing me around town writing and taking pictures for the paper. So for now this is Evan signing off â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;till next time, Arnprior.

Sliwa moves to Ottawa, replaced by Bishop JOHN CARTER

Dr Paul Sly

john.carter@metroland.com

Former Arnprior District High School principal Stephen Sliwa has moved from the Renfrew County District School Board to Ottawa. Stephen Sliwa was hired this summer by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board as its superintendent of education. In turn, the Renfrew County public school board hired Gayle Bishop as its new superintendent of education. She will oversee the Pembroke and Madawaska family of schools (Dennis Jenkins oversees the Arnprior family of schools). Bishop has been a principal in the Renfrew County system for many years, and last year was the board’s student success leader responsible for student improvement. She has also done liaison work between the board and the Ministry of Education. “She is an accomplished educator,” said Roger Clarke, the board’s education director. “She has been with this system her whole career so she brings a lot of experience both at the elementary and the secondary level.” Clarke credited Bishop for recent gains in student achievement testing, particularly at the secondary level, and also for the If you are suffering from Fibromyalgia, you know how improvement of high school bad pain can be.

“We have a very good program here in developing our leaders,” he said. Meanwhile, Shields, who has been acclaimed to another term on the school board, has been elected to the executive council of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association, Shields was elected the Eastern Regional vice-president of the association and will represent the six public school boards in Eastern Ontario. The area covers an area from Belleville to the Quebec border and as far north as Deux Rivieres. Shields’ duties will include organizing regional meetings, setting agendas and co-ordinating input into educational concerns from the six public school boards at the executive council meetings in Toronto. “I am delighted that the concerns of the Renfrew County District School Board will now have a direct line to OPSBA” said school board chairman Roy Reiche. “We rely on OPSBA to be the voice of public education and to bring issues and concerns of the public school boards to the attention of the Ontario government. I know Mr. Shields will be an excellent ambassador for the Eastern Region at the Provincial table.”

Packers off to quick start, play home opener Friday Arnprior faces off against Almonte-Pakenham Thunder PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Arnprior Packers are off to a brisk start in the 2010-11 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season. Three of a possible four points over the past weekend has given Arnprior a 3-0-1 record and second place behind Perth in the Valley Division. And they’ve done it all away from home. The Packers home opener is this Friday at 8 p.m. when the Almonte-Pakenham Thunder come to town. Goals from Drake Clancy and Taylor Collins early and late in the second period Sunday snapped a 1-1 deadlock and propelled the Packers to a matinee 5-2 win over the Stittsville Royals. Brock Zielinski, Ty Whitelock and Ryan Eady also connected for Arnprior. Collins added two assists.

Cody Waite and Scott Barnes were the lone Stittsville marksmen to solve Matt Gagne. The Packers goalkeeper made 31 saves. Former Packer Josh Cooper got the start for Stittsville. In a division where four of six teams qualify for the playoffs, every point counts, and the Packers picked up a big one Friday in Renfrew. Facing defeat square in the jaws with as little as 14 minutes remaining, the Packers climbed up off the mat to bag four goals in a 7:33 span to pull out a 5-5 tie. David Nelson got the comeback started when he beat Renfrew netminder Richard Barr. Marc Vacher, Matt Crozier and Taylor Collins, with the equalizer 6:12 from the end, followed to give Arnprior what appeared all night long to be an unlikely result. Ryan Eady notched the

first Packers tally in the second period. Jesse Riopelle had a pair of markers to lead Renfrew. German Tsatsura faced 30 shots while the Packers tested Barr 33 times. Neither team could generate much in the five-minute overtime. A spirited scrap in the third period saw the two No. 10s have at it. The Packers Teddy Suckow and Wolves Steven Powell earned their fighting majors and game misconducts. Packers coach and general manager Bill Griese feels the Valley Division will again shape up like last year. “Everybody will be chasing Perth, with us, Renfrew, Almonte, Stittsville and Shawville fighting over the scraps,” he predicts. He adds, a young Packers team will have to battle for everything it can get.

Packers netminder German Tsatsura is focused as numerous teammates and Renfrew Timberwolves battle for the loose puck out in front of his goal crease during play in the 5-5 tie in Renfrew Friday. The Packers host the Almonte-Pakenham Thunder in the home opener Friday at 8 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. “We have four 16-yearolds and seven 17-yearolds. Teams will try to run us out of the rink. Nobody’s going to give us anything.” Goaltender Matt Gagne played well in Sunday’s

win at Stittsville, particularly early in the game when the Royals held an edge on shots, Griese added. The club has an Ottawa Valley flavour to it with 17 players from the Arnprior,

Carp and Pembroke areas, he said. Arnprior hosts the Thunder at 8 p.m. Friday in the club’s home opener at the Nick Smith Centre. The Packers travel to Perth for a 1:30 p.m. encounter Sunday.

Arnprior Curling Club sweeps in 2010-11 season SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

The Arnprior Curling Club is gearing up for a great 2010-2011 season that includes a host of special events. Club president Russell Oatman joined members on Sept. 18 for a clean-up day to prepare for the season. The day was used for preparation and clean-up in and around the building. The end wall of the exterior was painted, along with several fresh coats of paint indoors. “It’s a nice facelift for the club,” said Oatman. Work on installing the ice surface also began. “If all goes well it’ll be completed by Oct. 8,” says Oatman. “It’s a bit of a process.” There’s been good interest in the club, with a number of new curlers comng out to register so far. The next registration session is Oct. 13 and 14. Among the expected highlights this year is coming up in November, with 24 curlers coming to the Ottawa Valley from Scotland. The curlers will be visiting different curling clubs throughout eastern Ontario and Arnprior

Doug Algier, a five-year member of the Arnprior Curling Club, helps shine up the club during the annual clean-up day Sept. 18. will be a stop on the tour. “It’s quite exciting,” said Oatman. The ACC is still in the process of working towards purchasing the building and the 2.2 acres of land on which the club sits from the Arnprior Agricultural Society. The club’s lease with the agri-

cultural society is in place until 2012. Fundraising up to this point has raised $35,000 of the $100,000 goal, explained Oatman. Proceeds from various fundraising events, including a nineand-dine held in August, are put towards this fund. Among the upcoming events are:

• Annual Sweep and Swill Oct. 16; • Arnprior Open Oct. 28 to 31; • New Year’s Eve dinner and dance. The ACC website has been refreshed and Oatman encourages interested parties to check out what the club has to offer online (www.arnprior.ovca.com). Interest in curling continues to grow and Oatman said it’s an activity anyone can enjoy. “It is a sport that is really inexpensive as far as costs go,” said Oatman. Along with the membership fee, all curlers need is a clean pair of running shoes, he said. And members enjoy themselves. “Curling is a very social sport. It’s a great way to make the winter go faster,” he said. It’s something just about anyone can do, as the game can be adjusted for limitations, including age, physical ability and body size, he added. The Timbits Curling program continues this year with a host of new and familiar youngsters ready to hit the ice. Special thanks go to Tim Hortons and Peter McCluskey for funding the program, said Oatman.

It was a nail-biter. In what viewers called a great football game, the Arnprior District High School Junior Redman scored a single on the last play to eke out a 29-28 win over Notre Dame in Lanark-Renfrew High School Football League action Sept. 23. The Senior Redmen had a bye week after their impressive 50-0 opening game win over Fellowes Sept. 17. In Carleton Place, the Notre Dame Celtic Warriors kept pace with Arnprior in the season opener for both teams. “Ultimately, we lost in the last play of the game,” said Notre Dame head coach Mark Melville. “It was an absolutely fantastic game, the kids played really hard,” he said. Melville said last year, the team’s first year in the league, Notre Dame scored a total of 32 points throughout the year. “To score 28 points in the first game and lose in one is a testament to how hard these kids worked,” he said. Historically, Arnprior is a strong team with large players, said Melville. “We hung in there, but they won in the last play of the game by kicking a single point with eight seconds left,” he said. The game was played on the Beckwith field with its artificial turf to the delight of coaches. Renfrew Collegiate Institute coach Todd Stewart, whose team played on the field the week before, said Beckwith Park boasts “an

Woodlot confab Saturday Area woodlot owners will come together this Saturday, Oct. 2 for a series of workshops and demonstrations aimed at helping them get the most out of their forested lands. The 15th annual Renfrew County Outdoor Woodlot Conference will be held from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Petawawa National Research Forest just south of Chalk River. “The annual Woodlot Conference is designed to help landowners profit from managing and harvesting their private forests sustainably and in an ecologically sound way. You really can have it all.” says Craig Appleyard, member of the woodlot

conference committee. The theme for the 2010 conference is Forest Research: Applications for Woodlot Owners. Topics covered during the day will help the owners of private forest land plan effectively to maximize benefits from their woodlot, whatever their objectives. Woodlot owners will participate in a silviculture bus tour as well as a sugar maple walk on site and hear presentations and share their knowledge and experience on relevant forest research. There is a long history of private woodlot ownership and management in Renfrew County.

Breast cancer continues to be be most common cancer among Canadian women. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation estimates that 23,200 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010. Breast cancer in men makes up less than 1% of breast cancer cases. An estimated 180 Canadian men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. These facts and figures are disheartening, but by raising awareness and promoting early detection, we can help reduce the numbers. To lower my risk for breast cancer,

I PROMISE TO: • schedule my annual mammogram • perform a monthly self-exam • schedule an annual physical • start exercising regularly • follow a healthy, low-fat diet • quit smoking

THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE IS SPONSORED BY THESE COMMUNITY-MINDED BUSINESSES

SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

Larry Rawn loved his community and worked hard to support it. Now, the community is coming together to help his widow and family when they need it most. The Sandvik employee drowned July 15 after saving a man’s life in the Bonnechere River, just south of Golden Lake. The 57-year-old avid angler and hunter was always on the go, often to the benefit of his community. Whether it was the popular Castleford ice fishing derby or his role as a director of the Castleford Union Cemetery, his selflessness and trademark laugh were much appreciated by family, neighbours and friends – and are greatly missed. “He had this laugh. I miss it. When he got going it was just infectious,” says Ann, Larry’s wife. Her husband was a big man with a big heart and the couple enjoyed spending time with their large, blended family, camping and lots of laughs. The Renfrew Legion hosts a fundraising dance this Friday, Oct. 1 to support the Rawn family. It’s a chance for the community to give back to a man who was so generous with others, say organizers, and recognize Larry as a true hero. Life for Ann, who also lost a son in October 2009 following a lengthy illness, has been an uphill battle of late. A personal

support worker at Arnprior’s Grove Nursing Home, she hasn’t worked since the accident. She hopes to return soon, but is struggling to keep up with the finances as insurance money works its way through a lengthy process and the bills keep coming. There is still work to be done on the couple’s River Road home, which they were working to restore. Larry’s friends have been good to come back and make progress on the renovations, says Ann, and their efforts and company alike are appreciated. She pledges to stay in the home that holds so many precious memories. “I’ll work through it, I’ll do everything I have to do,” she says. She is touched by the many reminders she’s had of just how important Larry was to those

around him. Whether it was a special scrapbook lovingly created by granddaughter Taylor, a touching memorial tribute at this year’s Algonquins of Pikwakanagan annual Pow-wow, or the beautiful decorative cross erected in Larry’s memory at the campground where Larry died – there are signs of his influence all around, says Ann. The Oct. 1 dance begins at 8 p.m. at the Renfrew Legion and features live entertainment by True County, St. Michael Country and other local favourites. A silent auction, door prizes and late lunch are part of the festivities. Admission is by donation. Alternatively, cheques can be made payable exclusively to the Rawn family and dropped off at the Renfrew Legion.

Larry joins granddaughter Taylor aboard the pontoon boat at Golden Lake. He lived for that boat, says Ann, and loved taking the grandkids for a ride. The Renfrew Legion hosts a fundraiser this Friday, Oct. 1 for the Rawn family. Photos courtesy of the Rawn family

IAN STUPP Pet Talk

Having issues with Fido? Barking, nipping, destroying furniture, urinating and defecating all over your home, won’t come when called, protects food and toys … sound familiar? Basic obedience can teach you and your canine companion the necessary techniques to avoid those unwanted behaviors. What causes unwanted behaviors in the first place? Through evolution, man has taken the alpha out of the species by domesticating them to be our canine companions. By domesticating them we created problems. Dogs have now come to rely on man to guide them through life, to become their alpha and when that need is not fulfilled then those unwanted behaviors can occur. Negative behavior is their way of demonstrating that something is not right in their lives and a correction is needed to get back on track.

Dogs need plenty of exercise, companionship, love and most of all stimulation. A happy and exhausted puppy/dog is less likely to act out than a bored, left to take care of oneself puppy/dog. Think of it this way. Do you bring home a newborn, toss them on the living room floor with a bowl of food, a bag of diapers, a phone for emergencies and leave for work hoping that they will figure it out and look after themselves? Guess what, that is what most of you are doing with your puppies and when they react negatively you immediately blame them. All they are doing by acting out is letting you know that your role as alpha has not been fulfilled. Basic puppy classes just like prenatal classes will help the expectant pet owner to better prepare for the experience. Some breeders are at fault as well. Puppies should be adopted based on compatibility and not for profit alone. An 80-year-old widower or an individual living in an apartment should not

be adopting a Labrador Retriever that requires a lot of exercise, stimulation and can on average grow to 75 pounds. Adopt based on you present circumstances and not from the heart! We all get caught up on those “adorable sad I want to be adopted puppy eyes.” As well, adoption can over time be costly. Puppies require a series of inoculations, deworming and spaying or neutering. Eventually there will be annual checkups, heart worm testing and medication and flea protection. That does not include other out of pocket expenses such as food, leashes, collars, toys and the unexpected emergencies. If you are not prepared mentally, physically and financially, than do the puppy, and yourself, a favor. Adopt a gold fish.

Sacred art of iconography returns to Arnprior Galilee Centre will hold a second Pray with Paint retreat in early October. The event features Galilee spiritual services director Fr. Jack Lau and local artist and iconographer Suzanne Manchevsky. It runs from the evening of Sunday, Oct. 3 to after lunch Saturday, Oct. 9. The retreat is also a fundraiser for Galilee, with all proceeds to be used for interior upgrades. The spiritual gathering includes a workshop element where participants will learn about the Christian sacred art

form of iconography. Through prayer and step-by-step instruction and guidance, participants will each write an icon. No painting experience is required and all materials are provided to produce a 5” x 8 1/2” icon on a prepared wooden panel with acrylic paint and gold leaf. Daily mass will be celebrated and art materials will be blessed. Prayerful silence and contemplation are encouraged throughout the week. The workshop will have an advent theme and the participants will each produce an icon enti-

tled The Journey to Bethlehem – The Blessed Donkey. In describing the icon, Manchevsky said: “God calls each of us to love and serve Him and each other. No-one is too small or insignificant for God to work through. Consider the Blessed Donkey who carried the Virgin Mary to Bethlehem.”

At the first Pray with Paint retreat at Galilee in March, 10 aspiring artists worked under Manchevsky’s artistic direction to each produce an original icon of St Francis of Assisi. Many of them had little or no experience in icon or other painting. They all enjoyed the experience and were excited to leave

was round but the outside surface was completely covered in small prickles that made it look like a giant cookie, the ones that are covered in little chocolate-coated coconut pieces. Eventually I realized that the ball had been rolled by waves along a beach covered in conifer needles and other debris, which its surface picked up.

from the moss-like appearance of fossilized Bryozoans. I have found a few of these fossils in our area that date back about 450,000,000 years! Bryozoan colonies start off in the spring as tiny budlike objects called statoblasts. These are produced in the previous fall and are the parts of the colony that survive the winter. These grow into colonies that produce another set of statoblasts, which in turn grow into the massive colonies we see in late summer. Warm water inspires faster growth so after a hot summer there are more large Bryozoan colonies reported. That was the case this year.

There are a number of Bryozoans that might occur in our area, but the most commonly encountered is Pectinatella magnifica. All Bryozoan colonies eat by filtering small animals and organic matter from the water that is drawn to the mouths by tiny hairlike cilia (borne on small tentacles) that create currents. Objects too large or not edible are brushed away from the mouth by the tentacles. We only see the protective gelatinous layer when we find a Bryozoan colony. The fine tentacular feeding crown is stuck out only when a colony

is undisturbed. Apparently the crown looks like a patch of delicate flowers! If you have never seen a Bryozoan colony you may be too late this year. Pectinatella

The overall colour of the gelatinous mass of the balls was brown-green and there were small patterns on the jelly-like surface. These were not unlike those that are found on soccer balls except they were much smaller. So what were these mysterious objects? Were they the brains of gigantic underwater organisms? Cancerous growths? Extraterrestrial lifeforms? Surprisingly, these strange objects were living animals. However, each ball was not a single organism but an entire colony. They are very strange animals known as Bryozoans or Moss Animals. The latter name comes

Everyone loves a good mystery. Who-done-its and science fiction thrillers remain among the top box office draws. And we enjoy sharing conversations about local phenomena that we cannot explain. In recent weeks I have received emails and photographs from puzzled readers who found mysterious brain-like balls in and along the shores of local ponds and lakes. In some cases the balls were huge, nearly the size of a soccer ball. In others they were more elongate, looking like Octopi without arms, and wrapped around submerged sticks. In one case, which took me a bit longer to figure out its identity, the shape

Mysterious jelly ‘brains’ appear on local shores

Seven of eight Ontario turtle species at risk Continued from Page 41 Seburn’s fascination with turtles began long before the natural world became his career. “I’ve always been intrigued by these awe-inspiring creatures,” he says. “They survive under water all winter long, they’ve been around for more than 200 million years and outlived the dinosaurs. “They can live to be 100 years old. The big question is whether they can survive humankind,” he says. What he has in mind is disappearing wetlands and the roads turtles often must cross during egg-laying and hatching seasons. TURTLES, CARS DON’T MIX Turtles are slow, cars are fast and lethal, and that’s one factor in the discouraging news that seven of Ontario’s eight species of turtles are on the species at risk list. In 1999, Seburn started a demographic study of the Spotted

Turtle – “We go in to a known community of these creatures to get a handle on its approximate population size, which provides better information for conservation efforts.” He says to understand turtles, you have to begin by realizing that their life history is “radically different from mammals. There’s a very high mortality rate for eggs and hatchlings. But once turtles reach a certain size, that death rate drops to one per cent.” As anyone who’s encountered a Snapping Turtle understands, many creatures, including humans, think that messing with a turtle can be bad news. “Slow and steady is the nature of the beast, including in reproduction,” says Seburn. “This is a good strategy if you don’t have cars and roads,” he adds. “But many of our turtles are kind of amphibious, and move often between dry ground and water. In southern Ontario, if you move more than one kilometre almost anywhere, you cross a

On Sept. 16 thousands of families from coast to coast enjoyed a meal together at the dinner table to celebrate what really matters most – quality time with family and friends. This event helped raised $53,568 for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC) in support of M&M Meat Shops sixth annual National Family Dinner Night. To participate Canadians were asked to register their family dinner at www.nationalfamilydinnernight.com. The seventh annual National Family Dinner Night will take place Sept. 15, 2011. To date, M&M Meat Shops has raised more than $20 million for the CCFC.

road,” says Seburn. LOW REPRODUCTIVE RATE Their low reproductive rate makes it hard for a turtle popu-

lation to bounce back from even slight increases in adult turtle deaths. Seburn has been a member of the Ontario Multi-Species Turtles at Risk Recovery Team since 2006 and is the author of

a draft recovery strategy for the turtles of the province. Seburn will bring his love of turtles and insight into their situation to the Macnamara Club at the Oct. 5 meeting.
