Gillies owners take town to OMB DEREK DUNN

Interest high as voting begins in Arnprior, M-B

derek.dunn@metroland.com

The Gillies House owners are taking the Town of Arnprior to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), a move that will cost taxpayers between $15,000 and $20,000.

The news was revealed at Monday’s committeeof-the-whole meeting during a report that asked council to approve hiring a lawyer. Council then saw a slide presentation by planner Robin Smith detailing the dispute.

The slide showed the Gillies House property divided almost down the middle between McNabBraeside and Arnprior jurisdictions. The former is zoned residential. However, on the advice of planners from the County of Renfrew, the latter is zoned environmental protection.

Heated races for mayor, reeve and the five councillor positions on Arnprior council and a new electronic voting system appear to be combining to generate a high voter turnout.

In the first two days of voting, 20.2 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots in Arnprior.

“Are residents of Arnprior engaged in the election process?

Yes they are,” said a delighted town clerk Jacquie Farrow-Lawrence.

Meanwhile, over in McNabBraeside, the voter turnout in the first two days of the eight-day voting period was an encouraging eight per cent, reports township CAO Noreen Mellema. She said of the 482 people who had voted by Wednesday morning, 293 used the Internet and 189 the phone.

Farrow-Lawrence said election interest in Arnprior appears to be unprecedented. Of the 1,151 Arnprior residents who voted in the first 48 hours, 65 per cent used the Internet and 35 per cent the phone.

Arnprior council has nixed any early approval of a plan by Mayor Terry Gibeau to address unrest over erratic water billing.

A highly detailed 10-point plan to resolve the Arnprior water billing fiasco, presented by Gibeau and backed by councillors Tom Peckett and Nancy Black, was defeated in a 4-3 vote at Monday’s committee-of-the-whole meeting, council’s last session before the Oct. 25 election.

Mellema encourages anyone who has questions to call or drop by the municipal office or check the demonstration on the township’s website. As it has been busy, she is asking for people to be patient if the line is busy. “Leave a message and we’ll get back to you right away,” she said.

People seem to be adapting to the Evote program well, Mellema said. She noted staff helped a 92-year-old man vote on the computer. He went away saying he was going home to tell his son he is now computer savvy, she said. Another voter, a 79-year-old woman called to tell staff how easy it was to vote by phone. And she noted it was the first time in years she didn’t have to pay for a ride to the polls.

In Arnprior, Farrow-Lawrence encourages residents to use the one-stop voting services offered at town hall and the public library. Assistance is also available by calling 613-0623-1859.

McNab-Braeside mayoralty candidate Mary Campbell has appealed to people in the township to avoid engaging in campaigns of fear.

“This has to stop on both sides,” she said in her opening statement at an all-candidates meeting in Braeside Oct. 14.

Campbell said she is disturbed by the phone calls she is getting telling her about people afraid to put up election signs and relaying stories about personal attacks.

“McNab-Braeside has never had a fear factor in an election before,” she said. “I’m asking you to stop it.”

Some people suggest it’s a normal part of politics, she said. “It’s not normal for me.”

Campbell said the only question that people should be thinking about when voting is how will the people of McNab-Braeside be best served.

Jim’s Priorities • Provide leadership that moves Arnprior forward by promoting growth.

• Hold the line on and review property taxes and water rates.

• Fix the roads.

• Be active in helping bring more business and people to Arnprior.

• Push for more federal and provincial funding.

• Become more self-sufficient, awarding as many jobs as we can to local businesses.

Among the dignitaries at the official ribbon-cutting to the Arnprior library expansion are MP Cheryl Gallant, centre left, Arnprior Mayor Terry Gibeau and MPP John Yakabuski.

Residents and former board members are invited to a celebration this Saturday, Oct. 23 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Enjoy face painting, a family concert, games and guest appearances by local artists.

Ribbon cut on library’s new expansion DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The Arnprior library expansion came in under budget and on time, drawing politicians from all levels to Friday’s ribbon cutting.

Highlights at the $675,000 renovation project include: • an elevator and central staircase; • a self-serve café; • reading corners (one featuring a fireplace); • computer stations; • a new meeting room; • the Teen Zone; • a children’s department • an open concept to view back windows overlooking bridge.

Among those on hand for the official unveiling was Mayor Terry Gibeau.

He recalled that the decision to build the library was made during a recession when industry was hard-pressed

to contribute. The council of the day had an eye to expand later.

Now as the nation emerges from another recession, he said, that expansion is complete.

“Thanks to people in Arnprior with vision and to the provincial and federal governments for getting us out of the recession,” Gibeau said.

He also thanked chief librarian Karen DeLuca, whom he called the “most popular person in Arnprior.” DeLuca is credited with pinching pennies to save on the project.

For her part, DeLuca is anxious to let residents know about the “community celebration” to be held at the library Saturday, Oct. 23, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“The formal board members and anyone who has had anything to do with the expansion, I’d like it if they could all come out,” she said.

The cost of the project was split between the municipal, provincial and federal government. But significant contributions were made by the Bert Gaumond Bequest, the Arnprior District High School student association of 2009-2010, Main Street School of Music and Arnprior Duplicate Bridge Club.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski spoke of libraries as “centres of learning” and lauded Arnprior’s for becoming fully accessible.

“It’s an important improvement to a facility that is of paramount importance,” Yakabuski said, adding Arnprior is enjoying impressive growth.

“You are really thinking ahead.

Congratulations,” said MP Cheryl Gallant.

Gibeau said provincial statistics show the Arnprior library is among the most successful of its size in Ontario.

He has demonstrated leadership skills and fairness through the process, but remains a firm advocate for the residents of Anrprior while balancing his responsibilities as a County Councillor.

John Hildebrandt, Madawaska Valley Township “As a County Council colleague of Walters, I am pleased to recommend him to the electors of Arnprior. I fully recognize the value of commitment Walter Stack has demonstrated over the past 4 years in placing the needs and issues of Arnprior a priority, while serving at the County level in Pembroke.

I worked closely with Walter for these past 4 years on a wide variety of issues facing all of Renfrew County. Walter and I sat on a number of County committees, and in doing so I got to know him well. It was a pleasure to work with him, as his knowledge of the issues is exhaustive and he brings a sense of fair play into everything he does. He has served all the communities across our County well, with diligence and professionalism.

Above all he can be relied upon to do what is “right”.

Gibeau said he didn’t appreciate taxpayers have to pay for both a lawyer and the county’s services at the Ontario Municipal Board hearing.

Smith said the town was given a 70 per cent discount to employ the county as consultants, and that it is standard practice that any OMB costs are covered by the client.

Coun. Jack Lammert asked if McNabBraeside’s official plan – the justification for calling the land environment protection – mirrors Arnprior’s.

Smith said she believes it is, but that the owners chose not to bring that municipality before the OMB. Hearings will be held in Arnprior.

A decision is expected in January.

Council balks at any quick water moves Continued from front Gibeau said failing to approve his plan meant a promise to have the bills made accurate before the extended due date of Dec. 31 was broken.

“We’ve successfully stalled for three weeks and we’ll stall again,” he said.

Coun. Eric Burton was vehemently opposed to how the plan was presented, using terms like “reckless”, “dangerous” and “not in keeping with good governance” to describe the move.

He said he wants the financial costs laid plain before he will agree to any moves.

He also said water users in town who have scaled back on conservation between 2009 and 2010 would be penalized if

The lights will be changed by mid-November, in time for the annual Santa Claus Parade Nov. 27.

The lights will stay in place until the end of March.

is assembling a $2.1-million fund to pay doctors incentives to practice in their area.

The group also announced it has recruited Dr. Jennifer Arcand to work out of Renfrew Victoria Hospital beginning in mid-2012.

McNab-Braeside council’s contribution, is expected to be matched by Arnprior council, although no final decision has been made yet.

Arnprior District Memorial Hospital will also contribute the other third of a $10,000 fund to be used to persuade new doctors to practice in Arnprior.

“Your Voice for the Last 13 Years”

the plan went forward.

Burton, along with Reeve Walter Stack and councillors Jack Lammert and Mark Willmer, wanted to view the results of an outside auditor’s report and staff ’s report before making any decisions.

Peckett indicated the auditor’s report would detail the problems but not provide solutions.

Chief administration officer Larry Donaldson said he expects the report will offer recommendations.

Gibeau said it is unfair to force users to pay, in some cases, a $900 bill when they normally pay $150.

Continued from front Property owners Alex Winter – a candidate in the reeve’s race – and his partner Ron MacIntyre dispute the recent decision to declare part of the land environmental protection.

They say it limits usability and makes the land virtually unsalable.

The environmental designation, they say, was dropped in order for them to purchase the property five years ago. But it has recently been put back on, which had they known would have been a dealbreaker for them.

Mayor Terry Gibeau asked Smith if the slope in question is being dealt with any differently than other slopes in town. She indicated it is not.

McNab-Braeside council agreed Tuesday to contribute $3,500 this year to the Arnprior and Area Physician Recruitment Committee.

The decision came a day after an announcement by the Renfrew and area recruitment group that it

Unity Run brings community together for exercise NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Ribbons of asphalt connected more than 190 healthy people in downtown Arnprior Saturday morning as runners, joggers and walkers stepped out for Community Living Renfrew County South.

Participants in the seventh annual Unity Run wended their way along streets closed to traffic for the occasion. The exact amount raised won’t be known until later this week, said race director Jane Dowd.

The hard core runners were easy to spot, wearing shorts or other spartan gear. A stiff breeze and a chill in the air didn’t deter the casual participants, who simply put on a hat or an extra sweater and covered routes of one, three, five or 10 kilometres.

First across the finish line in the 10K run was Alex Adams, a 17-year-old Arnprior District High School student.

“This wind makes it harder to breathe,” said Melissa Farmer, a Grade 12 student at ADHS, who runs on the school’s trackand-field and cross-country teams. “It makes your lungs sore.”

Melissa said she covered the Unity Run’s 5K course in 24:24, about par for her running season so far.

There were plenty of families participating together, as well as groups of friends, both young and old. Mayor Terry Gibeau jogged the course as did Independent MP candidate Hec Clouthier.

Among the youngest runners, Breanna Howarth stood out with her A.J. Charbonneau Public School shirt. The Grade 5 student finished her first-ever 3K run in 17:06 with her sister and friends by her side.

“The tough part was going up that big hill,” she said after the run, referring to the change in elevation on Daniel Street, near the start-finish line at the Nick Smith Centre.

Above, Tracy Reid, left, celebrates the final steps of a five-kilometre run with her daughter Lauren and husband David. Lauren was pleased with her finish: ‘I beat my daddy,’ she said with a smile.

Staff from the Arnprior Home Hardware store hit the road in their bright red skivvies. The staff agreed to wear the unorthodox running gear for the whole Unity Run course in return for customer donations to the run. From left are Clayton Campbell, Danielle Smyth, Ron Smyth and Lindsay Bourk.

MAYORAL PAY (all part-time)

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Smiths Falls council discussed it.

Councils and candidates in Perth and Carleton Place have recently discussed it as well.

The mayor’s remuneration: how much should it be? Should the job remain part time or be converted to full time?

As a town grows so, do expectations from developers, business owners and residents. For example, Arnprior is under pressure to step up approval of new neighbourhoods. It also faces criticism of not having a pro-active approach to luring businesses here.

Would paying the next mayor a fulltime salary – plus boosting the current travel allowance – solve some of these issues? Would it attract younger candidates who need full-time work to raise their families? Would better pay attract better qualified candidates?

A questioner raised the issue at the recent Nick Smith Centre mayoral and reeve meeting.

Reeve candidate Eric Burton was first to answer, saying the mayor’s job

Arnprior $24,000 Arnprior councillor $12,000 McNab-Braeside $19,343 McNab-Braeside deputy mayor $18,035 McNab-Braeside councillor $15,988 Smiths Falls $23,000 Carleton Place $34,000 Perth $18,000 Beckwith reeve $20,000 should be full-time. He added that if it were to happen, the reeve’s position should be cancelled. In other words, the mayor would be expected to attend county council meetings.

Alex Winter said converting the job to full-time would serve to attract “professional politicians� and exclude regular people.

Walter Stack favours doing an analysis.

Tom Peckett said the current mayor, Terry Gibeau, works 40 to 50 hours a week already. “I would agree to have a full-time mayor and compensated at the appro-

priate rate,� Peckett said.

Mayoral candidate Nancy Black holds the opposite opinion, saying a good leader hires good people at town staff and doesn’t micromanage them.

Ted Kelly quipped, “I’ll let you know in four years what I think,� to laughter and applause.

David Reid said he isn’t interested in being a full-time politician, but that he is retired and can devote the necessary hours to the job.

Jim Silye is also retired. “Whatever it takes, I’ll put in the hours,� he said. “We can’t afford full-time, but I’m retired. It won’t be a job to me. It’ll be something I enjoy.�

Doug Smith listed neighbouring communities that have full-time mayors. He then said it was the quality of work, not the number of hours put in that matters most.

The issue is difficult for politicians to decide on their own. In Smiths Falls, council will hire an outside consultant to produce a report on remuneration, or have staff make the decision.

McNab-Braeside hasn’t discussed the issue recently in a public setting.

New nightclub given break on parking DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Exciters, the planned Arnprior nightclub upstairs from Steve and Denni’s restaurant, will pay cash-in-lieu of parking spots along John Street.

The restaurant already falls short of the minimum required parking spots, but the town allows it to continue because of an informal grandfather clause.

Normally when a business is short parking spots it has to pay a one-time sum of $1,600 per parking spot.

But in this case, planner Robin Smith explained to Arnprior council Monday, the town is asking for just $400 because the business plan will drive economic activity.

The result will likely see higher tax revenue for the town’s coffers.

Councillors agreed to review the necessity of levelling cashin-lieu of parking fees against downtown businesses.

They indicated that attracting more businesses to the downtown core is a laudable goal to strive after.

They also noted the $1,600 didn’t apply to the new Shoppers Drug Mart or Giant Tiger, both with fewer parking spots than provincially mandated.

EDITORIAL

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Care to vote

Muzzle barking dogs if cats-owners to pay more

One ballot may not seem very powerful. It’s a small slip of paper, or in today’s tech-wise world, it’s not even that – just a mere click of the mouse.

But if everyone took the effort to vote responsibly, our politicians would have no choice but to listen. The secret to creating strong government – whether federal, provincial or municipal – is to understand the simple concept of common good.

When hard times befall us, we want the support of our community. We should be prepared to give the same. But sometimes we get tainted by the politics of fear. Desperate politicians know it will have impact. It is in their best interest to prod us to operate on fear: fear of losing one’s job, material possessions from guns to land, and even freedom itself.

But the minute you fall for that manic message, that is when you have truly lost your freedom.

Voters can’t always be experts on broad provincial or federal matters. But municipally, we, the citizens, are indeed the experts. We know the services we use and need.

But too often we’re just too darn lazy to vote.

It’s far easier to let the election slide by and then gripe afterwards. It clears us of blame because we simply aren’t accountable.

But don’t be fooled. You will pay. You will pay taxes. You will pay water bills. You will pay user fees. And you and your family will always hurt when the broader community hurts.

Care enough to vote.

FAREWELL MR. COUNCILLOR When you’re casting your ballot this week, spare a thought for those local politicians who aren’t running again.

Well, in this area it’s only one – McNab-Braeside councillor Jim McGregor.

McGregor has served the ratepayers on council a couple of times. Although he obviously was uncomfortable with the divisions on council during the last four years, he persevered and was often the voice of reason filtering through the din.

In this brave new age of municipal politics, the role of councillor is an increasingly complex and onerous one.

Anyone who volunteers to serve their community in this way deserves a vote of appreciation.

Thanks for your service, Councillor McGregor.

Seniors need help finding doctors To the editor: I am writing to express my concern and disappointment about the critical shortage of medical doctors in Arnprior.

My husband and I are once again without a doctor, because our current doctor is moving his office to the Ottawa area.

Even if we were inclined to travel to Kanata/Ottawa, which we should not have to do in order to receive medical attention, we are both seniors who do not drive other than in town.

I have inquired and been told that no arrangements are being made to cover patients who were with the doctor who is leaving.

As seniors, we are left to our own devices to find a family doctor.

It may be possible for younger residents to travel in order to go to the doctor, or to find the resources within government to help, but as with many seniors, we do not even have a computer,

To the editor: If dog owners are willing to muzzle their pets whenever they are let outside, then I would be more then happy to pay the annual fee for my feline.

Too often I have been woken up, or have had to leave the comforts of my own backyard, to get away from dogs in my neighbourhood constantly barking.

Until dog owners realize the effect their barking dogs have on the quality of life on some people, continue charging them annually, as dogs emit way more noise pollution than cats.

As for us, who do have our cat licensed, and do keep it on a leash, leave us to pay our onetime fee.

Would rather see a cat than hear a dog.

Established in 1879

P.S. Cats aren’t the only animal known to wander free. Twice this year our cat has been chased by wandering dogs while he was tied up.

Thankfully, I was home to prevent any harm being done to our pet.

What chance does a tied up cat have against a dog(s) that gets loose?

Unless it’s muzzled that is.

and the bureaucratic labyrinth is very difficult for us to comprehend.

I know that doctors cannot be forced to stay in Arnprior if they do not wish to, but it seems to me that some kind of help line should be set up within town to help and advise people who are seeking doctors, especially seniors who typically need medical attention more frequently than younger people.

There is a provincial program called Health Connect, which attempts to help people find doctors, but I am not talking about something at the provincial level. I am talking about something at the town level, where the problem is; someone who knows the town, knows who the doctors are, and can act as a kind of ombudsperson to assist people in getting medical attention.

To the editor: When Jim Silye came to our home, he presented a vision where Arnprior should be four years from now.

He talked about the future where we, once again, can be proud of the town we live in.

Along with keeping the taxes in line etc., there are many issues he intends to address, as well, there is a great need to maintain a better communication by keeping the citizens informed.

For many reasons, I’m giving my support to Jim Silye for mayor.

compact form.” In the past fouryear term, Council didn’t initiate this process. In many communities, this focus on intensification is labelled ‘Smart Growth’ and considered a more sustainable and economically viable pattern of development. Mr. Burton has become an informed advocate of ‘Smart Growth’. From my professional experience, I believe Arnprior is well positioned to achieve intensification/redevelopment standards, in keeping with the provincial policy.

Mr. Burton proposed the internationally recognized ‘Blue flag’ model (environmentally sustainable) for our beaches and marina that would give us clear direction

on how to achieve excellence in water quality, and he initiated a conference to bring together the municipal, provincial, federal and community stakeholders to promote water quality.

Going back to the definition of sustainability, he legitimately questioned whether we will have compromised the future by dumping our partially treated sewage further out into the Otta-

It’s up to you: vote

wa River rather than fully treating it at source.

He invited county staff and business leaders to address council regarding a County initiative for a Bio-Fuel (crop residue and wood fibre) Electrical Energy Generation system. He makes a rational and compelling argument for why Arnprior’s existing industrial infrastructure, transportation networks,

electrical corridors, and skilled workforce would make it the best location in the County such a regional bio-fuel generation system. Mr. Burton has demonstrated the commitment, vision and fiscal good sense necessary to advance Arnprior’s stewardship of the future.

To the editor, There are many and sometimes conflicting definitions of sustainability – here’s one from a municipal government: “Sustainability means integrating and balancing the competing expectations of the present generation and not compromising the future.”

I would like to see sustainability used as a guiding principle by the people we will elect to municipal government here in Arnprior.

Nothing could be more important than tending to Arnprior’s future for current and longer term.

Ted Strike, running for council, as part of his platform is promoting the idea of solar electrical generation locally (photovoltaic – PV systems). The government of Ontario is promoting this type of development through incentive programs, and the financial model is compelling. It’s essential that (especially large) PV systems be constructed near to underutilized electrical transmission corridors (typical of seasonal hydro generation), and Arnprior is fortunately located adjacent to a number of these lines.

This is a renewable energy initiative worth supporting.

Joe Zarb, running for council, has described himself as the ‘Green’ candidate and hopes to focus on alternate energy.

Politically, green is a synonym for sustainable – I’m impressed that Mr. Zarb has made this the central part of his campaign.

With respect to the incumbents, it seems Eric Burton has distinguished himself from the rest in a number of ways during the past four years. He has opposed abandoning the existing town hall building for the purpose of constructing a new building.

There’s an adage in the architectural community that the greenest buildings are the ones that are already standing. I support finding a solution to rehabilitate this building for this reason.

There is an ongoing debate about development patterns in this and every other community.

In 2005, the Province of Ontario directed municipalities to “promote appropriate development standards which facilitate intensification, redevelopment and

Sustainability should be council’s guiding principle

9

Only one candidate really supported Smart Centres lions of dollars were leaving town, they dragged their feet and seemed unable to comprehend that Smart Centres were not going to wait around forever for a decision. After the horse had bolted and the stable door shut, some councillors decided to go ahead and support a watereddown version.

I understand one businessman who was looking forward to expanding his business in the Smart Centre sold his business and moved to Quebec where he could do there what he could not do here.

At the all-candidates meetings all councillors gave the impression they supported the Smart Centre Project, but at one council meeting Reeve Walter Stack had a motion on the floor to support the Centre and not one councillor seconded it.

The only person, in my opinion, who remained consistent, was Reeve Stack.

Mr. Burton, I recall, was actively against the Smart Centre and what he called “low paying” jobs. Well, from my long experience, working against the prospect of giving any citizen in this community the opportunity to earn some money, instead of being on assistance, using the food bank, etc. is either a not wellresearched or a foolish position to take.

I have spoken with many “helpers” in Box Stores and both young and old appreciated the opportunity to augment their income and get out and meet people.

Reeve Stack has consistently had the interests and well-being of the people of Arnprior as his priority. His representation at the County level has served us well. Do not forget that the Arnprior ‘Wish List’ has to compete with the rest of the County and requires continuity and persistence to get what we need. This is where experience comes in when working on housing and for seniors.

Have no doubt that for Arnprior to have its voice heard, we need someone who is well known at the County level.

Reeve Stack has demonstrated all these attributes over the years and we can do no better than have him represent us again at the County level.

Guin Persaud Arnprior

It takes courage to attend candidate forums To the editor, The upcoming elections have generated a lot of letters to the editor of our local paper, talking about qualities they are looking for in the candidates for municipal office.

But there is one quality that I haven’t read very much about - courage.

It takes courage to run as a candidate in a municipal election. Courage to stand up in front of the electorate and answer questions. Answer difficult questions with honesty and integrity.

Yes, it takes courage.

And Thursday night at the Braeside allcandidates debate, I have to say I admired those candidates who were prepared to face those neighbours, to try to answer their questions and to admit they didn’t have answers when their knowledge of the matter was insufficient.

I’m sure there were lots of places they

DOUGLAS MUNRO

would rather be, doing things they would rather do.

But it seems that not all candidates running for McNab-Braeside have that quality. Two candidates were conspicuous by their absence at the Braeside debate, despite the fact that all candidates were advised there would be a debate a week in advance.

The organizers had planned to have a mayoral debate for issues of importance to the community in this new mandate.

Pretty hard for the present mayor to debate the issues when the other mayoral candidate was a no-show.

I want a leader who has the courage of her/his convictions and is proud enough of past achievements to have no fear of his/her constituents.

To the editor, Replying to Jake Davies support for Mr. Burton (Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, Oct. 7), I would just like to make few points, As Mr. Davies does not fit into the statistical categories concerning the seniors to which he refers, I do not think he can speak on their behalf. “These people,” as he calls them, smacks of the current fad of ageism. I find the employees of Box Stores usually extremely helpful. Box stores may not enable you to buy your own home, but they sure can help with some additional cash which just might make your visit to the Food Bank or the Opportunity shop unnecessary.

The pipe into the middle of the Ottawa River is less than desirable, but Mr. Davies did not let us know the alternative at the time. We can all vote for motherhood issues, but practicalities always have to be taken into consideration, Two negative votes – sewage pipe and Smart Centre – are not enough to provide for me with sufficient background information to support a candidate for reeve.

We have an important decision to make about the future of our town and I am perturbed by the negativism and exaggerated claims made in some of the election pamphlets. I have been involved with council, one way or another, since the early ‘70s when I and some others started the Social Planning Council to help and enrich the lives of those living in Arnprior. Because of this longstanding interest, I follow council meetings in the paper and on TV on a fairly regular basis.

I followed the Smart Centre debate since it started and am more than surprised at the “hindsight” change it has brought in some councillors. To get this town back on its feet again, we need jobs, jobs, jobs, and one way to start the process would have been the Smart Centre project.

The niche stores in town would never have lost business because of their being exactly what they are – family-owned niche stores. Unfortunately many, many residents are not be able to use the services these stores provide because of the lack of money and the impossibility of earning some.

Even though council was told mil-

This real estate agent and business consultant says Arnprior is ready to grow into bedroom-community status, which in turn will bring box stores to town.

An engineer-trained business leader with many years experience dealing with town hall, he said Arnprior must be more “customer-based.” Developing the waterfront is also crucial.

Recently back home from three careers in Calgary – CFL player, multi-company owner, MP – he said he is ready to lead Arnprior to prosperity while following people’s wishes.

The first to sign up for the race, he led the charge to welcome box stores to town, and is among the strongest critics of the current council, saying an outside financial audit is necessary.

Seven candidates debate the issues in Braeside JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Seven of the nine candidates for the five positions on McNabBraeside council answered a wide range of questions about rural lifestyle, attracting jobs and council bickering at a forum in Braeside Oct. 14.

The thorny question of the proposed asphalt plant in the Braeside quarry only generated one question and that was to clarify councillor candidate Brad McIlquham’s comment at the all-candidate’s meeting the week previous.

About 75 people attended the session where people asked questions from the floor after candidates gave opening statements. Mayor candidate Elmer Raycroft did not attend, citing

a family commitment, preventing a planned mayoral debate planned for the meeting.

Deputy mayor candidate Andy Dunlop also didn’t attend, saying a mix-up in email addresses didn’t give him proper notice of the meeting.

He also expressed concern that councillors could get into trouble if they answered questions about the quarry.

In answer to a question about how the township could protect its rural lifestyle when growth is needed to keep taxes reasonable, deputy mayor candidate.

Christine Blimkie said McNabBraeside should take advantage of the arrival of Highway 417’s four lanes through the township.

Council should try to attract new residents, although not on

agricultural land, and more businesses such as trucking companies that could “provide jobs for our youth,” she said.

Councillor candidate Marilyn Tilley said the township should concentrate on attracting light industry and home-based businesses that fit it with the lifestyle. Further expanding highspeed in the township would help, she added.

Councillor candidate Moira Hutchison said council members should work together on initiatives to entice people to move to the township, focusing on its natural attributes and affordable cost of living. With the coming of the four lanes, the 508 intersection area should become a “stopping place,” she said.

Councillor candidate Aldene Styles said the key to sustain-

ability is new residential subdivision development.

McIlquham said that residential, commercial and industrial development is needed to keep property taxes affordable.

Councillor candidate Robert Campbell suggested the township try to attract government jobs, encourage small business and promote residential development on marginal land.

Mayoralty candidate Mary Campbell said the township should be proactive and selective, holding town halls meetings to find what the residents want. “We need to make them partners in formulating our vision as a community,” she said.

In answer to a follow-up question on tourism, Campbell said the township should be promoting its rich culture and heritage.

Events such as McNab Days attract people to the area “to see how beautiful it is here,” she said.

Blimkie said the township has topromote recreational pursuits such as fishing and maintain infrastructure that supports it.

Hutchison said council needs to be more proactive in organizing a group effort, including participation from local businesses, to attract tourists.

McIlquham noted that council has been proactive in reviving the old Braeside Beach and should work with the county in developing recreational offerings.

Styles said it’s important to get the public to participate in such initiatives.

First-timers excited to vote EVAN CAMPBELL

evan.campbell@metroland.com

Eighteen-year-old Arnprior District High School students have the chance to vote this year in the municipal election.

In asking three students what they thought about voting and what they want to see happen, it turned out their answers were similar.

All the students were very excited to be able to vote and have a say in the local politics.

Meghan McCauley she said that she wants to see some changes made to the town in terms of outdoor activities. She raised the idea of a possible outdoor rink for public use.

Student Kurt Martin said he wants improved tennis courts and John Leslie would like a better pool.

Students also stressed environmental issues. They complained about the litter around town and all brought up concern about the smell from the sewage plant.

Students around the school have been talking about the lack of jobs around town. However, all three students said that they supported ditching the WalMart shopping centre proposal.

They were opposed to the town having a big shopping centre like that, even though it creates job opportunities, arguing it will kill Arnprior’s downtown shopping. That would be a very bad thing for the town, they said.

Martin said he would rather the mall the town already has be spruced up with a food court and more stores.

“It would give people a place to go and sit down and have some food in the mall,” he said.

A crowd of about 75 people attended a McNab-Braeside council all-candidates forum Oct. 14 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish Hall in Braeside to ask would-be councillors questions on a variety of topics.

Council harmony focus of question Continued from Page 12 A questioner asked how council could get ahead without bickering.

Hutchison said councillors should leave personal differences out of decision-making and work for the “greater good.”

Blimkie said councillors have to leave the ‘me’ at the door and work as a team to represent ratepayers opinions. Tilley said councillors should step back until they get the facts to make an educated decision.

Styles said that once a decision is made councillors should present a united front.

McIlquham said once a matter is debated, council has to come together “and get it done.”

“You can get a lot of things done when you work together,” said Robert Campbell.

Mary Campbell said council has to get back to properly consulting with the public.

It should be setting up more advisory committees along the lines of the ones in

Greater Madawaska and Madawaska Valley, she said.

All candidates agreed a code of conduct should be created for council to cheers from the audience.

People also asked questions about the future of the railway line and the Braeside Beach, infrastructure spending, the state of the township’s reserves, and cleaning up of the Ottawa River.

Asked why the new electronic voting method was adopted, Mary Campbell said it is saving the taxpayers money and makes it “dead easy” for people to vote. It is hoped it will induce more participation from young voters, she added.

McIlquham said council anticipates it will boost voter turn-out from last time’s 43 per cent. “We’d like to see it well above 50 per cent.”

One more all-candidates meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 20 in White Lake (past the Chronicle-Guide’s press time). Both Raycroft and Dunlop indicated they would probably attend that event.

It pays to call 911 immediately when a fire breaks out.

Arnprior fire chief John Okum said an apartment-dweller did all the right things when a fire broke outs at an apartment on John Street North near the museum on Sept. 23.

He called 911 right away and then alerted other residents in the building.

The Arnprior fire department quickly extinguished the blaze.

No one was hurt in the incident.

Early notification is particularly important for a volunteer fire department, as it takes time for the firefighters to get to the fire hall or the site of the fire, said Okum. “The faster the better,” he said, The fire has been ruled accidental in nature.

Last Friday’s demonstration was to Grade 1 students in Christel Littau and Nathasch O’Brien’s classes.

Arnprior District High School has one of its own graduates as its newest vice-principal.

Tom Havey, a resident of the Arnprior area, said this year will be all about learning how to best serve the needs of students and staff in his new position, rather than as a teacher.

With experience in teaching and being a union representative, he knows the challenges schools face and how to balance fairness with fun for everyone.

“In the vice-principal role, school days are like snowflakes - there are no two the same,” he said.

“Every day (there) is a new and sometimes unforeseen challenge.”

Havey said he wants to be fair, straight-forward and listen to what the students have to say to better

Prepare yourself and your vehicle Winter is inevitably coming and with it comes challenging driving conditions, cautions the Renfrew OPP. The time to prepare for winter driving is in the fall,

prior to the first snowfall.

“You need to prepare both yourself and your vehicle.

For your vehicle install four winter tires, tune up your vehicle for the winter weather, pack an emergency kit, and always travel with at least a half a tank of gas,” says an OPP news release.

“For yourself get into the mindset of winter driving, plan your trip, check road and weather conditions, give yourself extra travel time, and most importantly slow down and wear your seatbelt.”

For more information, check out the Ontario Ministry of Transportation winter driving website.

Senior Redmen trample Almonte The Arnprior District High School Senior Redmen football team kept rolling Oct. 14 by stomping on perennial LanarkRenfrew High School Football powerhouse Almonte Thunderbolts 31-7.

The Junior Redmen were not so fortunate, but gave the unbeaten Thunderbolts a scare before losing 21-14.

Both games were played at the

ADHS field.

The win boosted the secondplace Seniors record to 4-1. The only blemish is a two-point loss to the undefeated Smith Falls Red Hawks. The loss was Almonte’s first of the year, dropping them into fourth behind RCI with a game in hand.

In the junior race, Almonte leads the league at 3-0, while the Juniors fell to 1-3.

Arnprior Junior Redmen converge on an Almonte ball-carrier during the team’s 21-14 loss to the Thunderbolts Oct. 14.

The Juniors were scheduled to play twice in Perth this week, playing undefeated St. John’s Tuesday (after press deadline) and winless Perth Friday.

The Seniors played in Deep River Tuesday against McKenzie and Friday in Perth against St. John’s. Both teams wrap up the regular season Friday, Oct. 29 by hosting Carleton Place at 1 and 3 p.m. While a win could assure the Seniors of hosting a playoff game, the Junior game could be a battle for the final

playoff berth.

RUGBY In girls rugby action, the Senior Redmen thrashed Fellowes Falcons 45-5 and Madawaska Valley Wolves 61-0 last week to run their record to 5-0.

The Redmen were scheduled to wrap up their season Tuesday in a first-place showdown with 4-1 Bishop Smith at the Dochert field.

Playoffs are scheduled for next

Tuesday and Thursday.

Meanwhile, in the two-team Junior league, the Junior Redmen defeated Bishop Smith 20-0 and 15-5 to run its record to 3-0 and clinch a spot in the regional playoffs.

In boys volleyball action, the ADHS Junior Redmen edged Madawaska Valley Wolves 3-2 to remain undefeated.

The Senior Redmen defeated the Wolves 3-0, but lost a close match 3-2 to the RCI Raiders.

Their record is 2-3.

The Arnprior Packers experienced their first down week of sorts this season as they dropped two games in three Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League starts.

Colin Bradbury’s second goal of the night with just 33 seconds showing on the clock gave the Packers a dramatic 5-4 victory over the Stittsville Royals before the home crowd Friday night.

Despite two losses on each side of it, the win allowed Arnprior to pull into a tie for top spot in the Valley Division standings.

At 7-3-and-1, the Packers own the same record as that of the Perth Blue Wings entering this week’s action.

Bradbury jammed the puck behind Stittsville netminder Andrew Rodier off a wild goalmouth scramble to secure the triumph.

Stephen Bayliss, Casey Doner and Brock Zielinski added singles, while Ryan Eady chipped in with three assists.

Brendan Cruz, Dave Borden, Matt Kadolph and Scott Barnes kept Stittsville close in the seesaw contest. Neither team ever led by more than a goal.

German Tsatsura booted aside 22 shots to earn the win.

The visiting Gatineau Mustangs of the Metro Division clipped the Packers 6-4 at Nick’s

house Sunday night.

After a goalless opening stanza, things opened up in the middle session with six goals being scored, four by Gatineau.

The Packers overcame the 4-2 deficit to pull even early in the third before two late goals spelled victory for the Mustangs.

Eady, Bayliss, Ty Whitelock and Teddy Suckow were Arnprior marksmen. Olivier Daoust had a hat trick to pace Gatineau.

The Packers outshot the visitors 22-20 in the low-shooting contest.

“We didn’t deserve to win Friday night and we didn’t deserve to win Sunday night,” Packers coach and general manager Bill Griese noted. “But we got one win out of it. We were able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat (Friday). We’re in a funk.

We are not playing good hockey right now at all.”

Braedon Moffatt notched the lone Packers marker on a 4-1 setback to the defending EOJHL champion Ottawa Canadians in the back end of a home-andhome set Oct. 12. Arnprior won the opening leg 6-0 at the Nick Smith Centre four days before.

The Packers host the Almonte Thunder this Sunday, Oct. 24 at 7:30 p.m. However, prior to that, Arnprior makes its first trip of the season to the Quebec side.

#3816 Colby Colby, an eight-year-old neutered male, would make an ideal companion for a senior. He was brought to the shelter at the end of August when he was found as a stray in Arnprior. Colby is a large, quiet cat who is not very active. He is very affectionate and enjoys sleeping in the sunshine. He gets along well with other cats. Colby’s longer fur will require regular grooming to prevent matting.

#3805 Palmer Palmer is a four-month-old neutered male who is sure to keep his new owners busy with his silly antics. Palmer was found living under a porch with his littermates.

He is easy to handle and quite affectionate once he knows you. Palmer is active, healthy, and fully litter trained. He loves to play, run, climb and jump and would make a great companion for a home with another cat.

Supplies the shelter needs: paper towels, liquid laundry soap, dry and canned kitten food and canned dog food.

The animal shelter challenge is now on and the humane society needs daily votes to help win some much-needed money. You can vote through the website www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca.

NEW SEASON ON THE ICE

Ottawa Valley PeeWee Thunder win title in Cornwall The Ottawa Valley Pee Wee Thunder, with two Arnprior girls, recently took home the prestigious Typhoon Cup in a hockey tournament last weekend in Cornwall.

Competing against teams from all over eastern Ontario, the Pee Wee Thunder went undefeated and lifted the championship cup and delighted their fans with a ‘Stanley Cup’ type victory lap on the ice.

The Thunder started their run with a 2-0 blanking of the Russell Coyotes, with goals by Rachel Recoskie and Melanie Sweet.

Once again in game two a solid team effort resulted in the Thunder shutting the door on the Gloucester Stars 4-0. Scoring for the Thunder were Bailey Hennessy, Morgan McGrath, Recoskie and Sweet.

Game three saw the Thunder take an early lead against the Cornwall Typhoons and hang on for a 2-1 win with goals scored by Summer Norlock and Recoskie. The Thunder qualified for the semifinals, where they defeated Etoiles de Beauval 2-1. Counting goals for the Thunder again were Recoskie and Sweet.

In the championship game, the Pee Wee Thunder came out flying as they met the Russell Coyotes for the second time in the tournament. The Thunder won the championship with a 4-0 win, counting goals from Sydney Groves, Norlock and Recoskie.

The Thunder controlled the game throughout with solid team play.

Team coaches Brad Sweet, Jack Lavallee and Len McGrath were pleased with the girls’ effort, pointing out the team can use the tournament as a building block for a successful season.

The Ottawa Valley Pee Wee Thunder team consists of Georgia DeAbreu, and Courtney Cape of Arnprior; Summer Norlock and Natasha Luckovitch from Barry’s Bay; Sophie Dickson, Sydney Groves, Jenna Hedden , Hope Lavallee, and Kirstin Regier from Beachburg; Morgan Coulas from Cobden; Morgan McGrath from Douglas; Autumn Oglivie and Melanie Sweet of Petawawa; and Rachel Recoskie and Bailey Hennessy of Round Lake.

BANTAM THUNDER

over the hometown Cornwall Typhoons, but then lost to the Gloucester Stars by the same score.

With a good sleep, the Thunder fought back Saturday as they shutout the Stars in return match.

A tie with the Russell Coyotes sent the Thunder to the final game late Sunday. With the game scoreless after the third period, the girls were faced with two sudden death overtimes. Failing to score led to a shootout that ended with the Coyotes third shooter’s blast scraping by the shoulder of Thunder goalie Laura Graham, high off the crossbar.

The Ottawa Valley Bantam Thunder has rebounded after a slow start. The team has steadily improved and qualified for the semi-final game of the Typhoon Cup, where they outworked and outscored the Panthers from Aurora 2-1 to qualify for the finals. The Panthers had previously won the round-robin match 4-0 over the Thunder. In the final, Kanata Rangers won 3-0, with the Thunder settling for the silver medal. The Bantams team will get another chance against Rangers in their next season game this Saturday, Oct. 23 in Kanata.

Herrick chosen for elite team EVAN CAMPBELL

POLAR BEAR TOURNEY

evan.campbell@metroland.com

Arnprior District High School student and Kinburn native Terrilyn Herrick has been chosen to join an elite Ottawa junior age female basketball team this season.

Herrick, a Grade 12 student at ADHS, is playing for the Ottawa Capitals.

She has been involved in basketball since she was a young girl, playing in many competitive leagues and travelling all over the province.

Fergy Neves, a coach of teen basketball for over 25 years, started an elite girls’ basketball league in Ontario to give players a better chance at earning spots on university or college basketball teams.

Neves created the league so the country’s basketball officials can get a look at the province’s best junior and senior girls, to help them chose a team for international and Olympic play.

The league is broken up into four sections, so teams have only a short drive to meet their opponents.

Herrick will be playing in the East section, which includes the Ottawa Capitals, Ottawa Impact, Durham Eclipse and Scarborough Blues.

The Arnprior District High School Senior and Junior Redmen girls basketball teams were idle last week, but face a tough challenge next Monday.

After hosting Fellowes in a couple of games today (Thursday), the teams travel to Renfrew for a showdown with the RCI Raiders.

Terry Lampole watches his drive lift off during the annual co-ed Polar Bear Tournament at the Arnprior Golf Club Saturday.

Golfers had a brisk but glorious day of weather for what was for many a seasonending trip round the links.

Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors Home Support will be canvassing Arnprior and area this Saturday, Oct. 23 to raise funds for its transportation service.

Home support volunteers and members of the Arnprior District High School Young Voyageurs Club will be going door-to-door in Arnprior and parts of McNabBraeside from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If deemed necessary, a secondary canvass will be held election day, Monday, Oct. 25 from 4 to 8 p.m.

Financial contributions make it possible for Seniors Home Support to provide necessary trips both in town and out for clients, as well as several other services.

All volunteer canvassers will have proper identification visible.

For more information, call 613623-7981, drop into Home Support offices at 106 McGonigal St. West or visit www.cssagency.ca.

More medical rides for clients A non-urgent medical transportation program, co-ordinated by Carefor Health and Community Services, has recently expanded to reach more people.

Transportation is now being provided in Renfrew County from Deep River to Arnprior and all parts between. Now with four vans, the program relies on four paid and 42 volunteer drivers.

In November, the agency will launch a partnership with Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home Program, expanding the program to that area of Renfrew County. The program has two main aims: improving access to health care for rural residents and allowing ambulances to focus on more urgent needs. The Champlain Local Health Integration Network is a major funder, recently purchasing a fourth van.

The service provides transportation to day programs and dialysis and also serves hospitalized patients needing drives to medical appointments. Carefor also co-ordinates the Going Home program, targeting seniors over 65 and offering rides, delivery of frozen meals, and homemaking services for a period of 10 days after discharge.

“October is Community Support Month, so it is fitting that we celebrate the health workers and volunteers who make a difference to so many residents every day,” says local MPP John Yakabuski.

“Transportation is a huge challenge in Renfrew County, and Carefor’s expanded program goes a long way in improving health services for our citizens.”

The NeighbourLink Fountain is holding a series of meetings for interested people to discuss the meaning of Christianity.

The Alpha course will start on Thursday, Oct. 28.

The course is open to everyone interested in discovering what Christianity is all about.

Come relax, share your thoughts and explore the meaning of life, say organizers.

The course runs from 1 to 3 p.m. at 29 the Fountain at 128 Mary St. (the former Alexander Reid School) in Arnprior.

For more information on the Alpha course, call 613-623-4200.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski says he is delighted to announce his second CD, ‘Taking Care’, will soon be released.

People at the Grove in Arnprior and eight other long-term care homes in the riding should also feel delighted as they will benefit directly from the singing MPP’s efforts.

Yakabuski says he feels good about how the CD has turned out and is hoping music lovers across the region will agree with him.

The CD will sell for $20 and all proceeds will go directly to the nine Renfrew County long-term care homes in Yakabuski’s riding.

The new CD is 42 minutes (13 tracks) of some “real good music.”

Yakabuski covers Canadian icon Gordon Lightfoot’s ‘Second Cup of Coffee’; Valley Legend, Mac Beattie’s ‘Lake Dore Waltz’ and 11 other great tunes.

The musical MPP is thrilled to have one of the Ottawa Valley’s best known singers and entertainers, Ottawa Valley Hall of Fame inductee Gail Gavan, join him in a duet on the new release. They collaborate on the ‘Far Side Banks of Jordan’, a song about love and faith that was sung by Johnny Cash and his wife, June Carter-Cash.

Yakabuski noted he couldn’t have undertaken this project without the assistance of so many, including Brian Hebert who produced the CD, the nine area long-term care homes and the 16 sponsors.

The CD sponsors are M. Sullivan and Son of Arnprior; Wilson Investments and Deslaurier Custom Cabinets of Renfrew; Wilderness Tours of Forester Falls; Yolkowski Monuments of Cobden; the Lapointe Auto Group, Eastway Construction and Shaw Lumber of Pembroke; Lorraine’s Pharmasave , Royal Lepage Gale Real Estate

and the O’Reilly Funeral Home of Barry’s Bay; and North Renfrew Long Term Care in Deep River, and the Eganville Leader, Enbridge Gas, MacEwen Marianhill and Miramichi Lodge in Pembroke and Fuels, Dominion of Canada Insurance, and Bruce Valley Manor Nursing Home in Barry’s Bay. Power. ‘Taking Care’ will be available at various outlets across the Valley as well as at nine longOFFICE term care homes and Yakabuski’s constituency of613-623-7922 fice in Pembroke.

Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club to hold fall banquet Nov. 6 It’s beginning to look like Ottawa Valley residents were ripe for a boost in their knowledge and enjoyment of the natural world – the evidence is in the recent surge of activity in the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club based in Arnprior.

When Ontario’s Trillium Foundation granted $41,800 to the club for public outreach back in 2005, it had seen a membership decline to somewhere around 80 paid-up registrants, with few young people among them.

At that point the club used the Trillium money to establish a youth program and attract more residents of the Ottawa Valley, a natural world bonanza, according to one of the club founders, and current club president Michael Runtz.

“Thousands of species of plants and animals – some transient but many resident – enrich the Ottawa Valley, making it one of the best regions in Ontario for natural history,” Runtz says.

He explains that this biodiversity in our backyard rests on a rich mix of habitats.

Water is a strong presence in the Valley, forests still cover much of the region – hardwoods on rolling hills and farm woodlots, spruces and firs mingle with birches and poplars on the Canadian Shield, and cedars dot limestone flats.

The Valley is also part of a migratory path for birds. In the right season shorebirds swarm muddy shores and waterfowl spill out from local wetlands as flocks of songbirds move to distant destinations.

Runtz is quick to point out that the Macnamara club is not alone in enjoying this bounty – other local groups such as the Pembroke Area Field Naturalists and the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists, based in Almonte, are home to kindred spirits. Today as the club prepares for its Fall Banquet Nov. 6, it has about 250 members up and down the Valley from Petawawa all the way to Ottawa.

They have been showing up to hear presentations by experts in wildlife and all aspects of the natural world and saddle up for field trips to get close to everything from mushrooms to dragonflies to birds to the geology underneath it all.

A Young Macs program has been launched for children hankering for nature in a world of video games and computer screens, and a website, www.mfnc.ca was launched. The club has grown so much that it recently had to change its meeting place from the Arnprior Public Library to the Arnprior District High School. It was a tough decision, coming as it did after years of support and help from library staff hard pressed to find more and more extra chairs for the club’s monthly meetings and worried about the hazards of overcrowding.

The club decided on a Fall Banquet to mark

these successes. It’s open to the public as well as club members and takes place at the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre Saturday, Nov. 6.

Folksinger and environmentalist Terry Tufts will entertain before dinner, and Runtz has planned a talk called “The Bear Who Ate Me Almost,” and other misadventures in the wild.

Tickets, $30, are available at treasurer@mfnc. ca or at the club’s November meeting, 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 2 at Arnprior District High School, 59 Ottawa St.

OPEN HOUSE Wanted: species at risk sightings SUN., OCTOBER 24, 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

The Community Stewardship Council of Lanark County and Lanark County road crews have teamed up for a new species at risk road mortality project.

Funded by the provincial Species at Risk Stewardship Fund, the project provides training and equipment for road crews to document any at-risk species they encounter (either dead or alive) on county roads.

The target species for the project include the gray ratsnake, Blanding’s turtles, snapping turtles and other at-risk reptiles in the area.

Roadways negatively affect wildlife (including Species at Risk) by contributing to loss of habitat, creating barriers to movement and causing mortality due to collisions with vehicles.

By documenting the locations and frequency of collisions, ‘hotspots’ can be determined along with data on how much roadways are affecting local populations.

Pleasant Cemetery. In that tree a couple of Yellow-rumped Warblers also enjoyed the same fare.

Two days earlier I had watched a pair of beautiful Black-throated Blue Warblers devour Gray Dogwood berries at Batawa, just north of Napanee. And a few weeks prior to that I observed three Red-eyed Vireos plucking Virginia Creeper berries on Amherst Island near Kingston.

These three species are known for gleaning insects from under leaves and twigs. Obviously at some times of year, perhaps most importantly fall migration, fruit provides them with essential carbohydrates.

Still, fruit likely comprises a very small portion of the yearly diet of vireos and warblers. Insects remain their mainstay, especially on their wintering grounds.

This contrasts greatly with

Data will be collected, verified, mapped and submitted Continued from Page 32 Each road crew will be provided with several kits that include a camera, GPS, data sheets and field guides for use in completing species identification.

Once this data collected, it will be verified, mapped and submitted to the Ministry of Natural Resources for inclusion in their databases.

The project will also see the development of a protocol and an identification guide that can be

used by other counties or municipalities for similar projects.

Community members who would like to contribute to species at risk road sightings are encouraged to submit photos and reports to similar projects, such as the Toronto Zoo’s Ontario Road Ecology Group (OREG) and Ontario Nature’s Reptile and Amphibian Atlas.

Online submission forms for each project are available on their websites.

the proportion of fruit consumed by waxwings. From late summer through until spring, Cedar Waxwings are dedicated frugivores. Right now Bohemian Waxwings, Cedars’ northwestern cousins, are appearing in our area.

While high in carbs, fruits lack other essential items such as fat. Fruit-eaters thus must consume a lot of fruit in order to maintain a balanced diet.

Waxwings have special features for accomplishing this.

One is a very large mouth-opening or gape. A large gape allows birds to swallow whole berries in one gulp.

Bohemian Waxwings are reputed to have for their bill size

one of the largest gapes in the world.

Short intestines allow for fast internal processing of the berries. The seeds are undesired and pass out the back end. This process is also remarkably fast, taking less than half an hour.

While we marvel at waxwings for their ability to process food quickly, the credit for ingenuity should go to the plants. By paying birds a scant reward for each berry ingested, they ensure that their seeds are delivered to a new site.

For these plants, seed dispersal is much more than a crapshoot!

Fruit-eating birds invading our region

Tips for a pet-friendly Halloween night What’s fun for people can make for a frightening experience for Fido Cats especially should be kept indoors several days prior to and on the night of Halloween.

Pranksters can tease or hurt your pet and we’ve all heard the horror stories of cats being tortured by sadistic people on this particular night, especially black cats.

If dressing your pet up in costume, make sure it is lightweight and non-constricting.

It should be loose enough that an animal can easily get out of it.

Don’t use rubber bands, as they can constrict blood flow if too tight and can become entangled in an animal’s fur.

Also, get your pet used to the costume several days before Halloween and don’t force them to wear it if they rebel.

Never leave a pet in costume unattended. They could chew it up and ingest harmful materials or become entangled and

IAN STUPP choke.

Make sure you walk your dog earlier in the evening, before it gets dark.

If you are escorting children trick-or-treating, leave your pets at home.

Dogs can get excited and stressed when encountering all these “strange laughing, squealing” creatures and may become agitated enough to snap at a young child.

If you must take your dog with you, keep them on a short leash and away from large groups of children and other pets.

Halloween candy is for humans, not animals. Do not give your pets any can-

dy, especially chocolate.

Candy in itself can make your pet sick and chocolate is especially toxic to dogs.

Cellophane wrappers, foil papers and lollipop sticks should be put in the garbage.

These items can be hazardous to your pet if swallowed by causing intestinal obstructions and even

Keep your pets away from lit candles. They can easily knock them over causing a fire. Cats and kittens are especially curious and could accidentally burn themselves if they get too close to an open flame.

Most children and adults look forward to Halloween fun, costumes and trickor-treating.

But this particular holiday can prove to be a stressful and potentially hazardous time for your beloved pets.

Here are some tips to keep your animals safe and sound during this Halloween season.

Loud noises can easily excite and frighten pets.

Dogs in particular can often feel threatened by strangers appearing at the door in strange costumes.

If possible, keep your pets secured in a separate room in your house while young trick-or-treaters are ringing your doorbell.

If you decide to let your pets participate, keep a close eye on them so they don’t suddenly make a break for the open door and slip out into the great outdoors.

Don’t leave your pets outside on Halloween night.

A Week Dedicated to Hometown Business

Canada’s vibrant economic development can be attributed in great part to the energy of entrepreneurs and the businesses that they start up. Their ability to quickly innovate to keep abreast of market changes and create employment has made small businesses one of the driving forces of our economy. In light of these contributions, the theme of this year’s Small Business Week is: “You’re the power behind the Canadian economy, let’s share the energy!” The focus will be on this energy that drives all entrepreneurs who have moved from dreaming to reality by creating their own business. This week will also recognize personal efforts as well as the importance of financing and consultation in bringing innovative ideas to life.

This annual event began rather modestly in British Columbia, but quickly Jack & Faith Bird picked up steam over the years. Today it is a wonderful opportunity to Store Owners celebrate entrepreneurial spirit across the country.

Did you know that jack-o-lanterns were first made centuries ago in Europe by the Celts.

The festival called Samhain was celebrated at the end of the Celtic year on Oct. 31. People would carve out the insides of turnips, gourds, potatoes and beets to put outside to welcome friendly spirits.

When European settlers moved to North America, they discovered the pumpkin to be perfect for making their jack-o-lanterns. Today the carving of pumpkins for Halloween has become an art in itself.

On Monday, Oct. 25, you can make your own jacko-lantern at our pumpkin carving night at the Nick Smith Centre. Scott MacLaren has generously donated the pumpkins.

The program runs from 6 to 8 p.m. and is open to everyone, but children under nine years need to be accompanied by an adult. Prizes will be given for the scariest, funniest, etc. Registrations must be in
