Climbing aboard? Mayor-elect backs proposal to create waterfront boardwalk DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

THEY’RE #1 Arnprior’s senior football team went to Smiths Falls with one thing in mind. See what they are roaring about. 20

Arnprior mayor-elect David Reid is cautiously on board with a proposal to build a boardwalk along the waterfront. The Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce (GACC) and downtown business improvement area (BIA) are at the concept stage, with few willing to talk until more details of the possibly $1million or more project are nailed down. However, former GACC president Gib McMullen said a wooden boardwalk between the public library and Madawaska Bridge, past the falls and the marina, to the beach where it cuts through Robert Simpson Park to link with John Street North, needs public support to become a reality.

He wants a town hall meeting and presentations to various organizations to show off the plans and rally support. “This is going to be large,” McMullen said. “We have this availability with two rivers and it has never been developed.

“It’s very much part of what I anticipated for the vision of the waterfront,” Reid said. “Some combination of a regular pathway and walkway might be the way to go.” A positive response from the new mayor is crucial. The business groups are hoping for funding from the municipal and provincial levels of government to see the project through to completion. McMullen said there is an argument to be made to the province. If Queen’s Park wants to see tourists back on the scenic river route up the Ottawa River, a good start would be to draw them to nearby River Road with an attractive boardwalk.

The curtain goes up on Kiss the Moon at the Christian Education Centre tomorrow, Nov. 12. Rehearsing hard for opening night is, from left, Marcel Girard, Mariah Fridgen, Gary Anderson, Elaine Lowe and Debbie Reid.

Hudak focuses on tax cuts, waste and creating jobs Continued from front He said it’s always a challenge for a party not in power to attract attention, but that he is raising issues in question period, travelling the province for town halls, and reaching out to media. “People are saying it’s time for a change,” Hudak said. “McGuinty and the Liberals are taking voters for granted in Ottawa and eastern Ontario, and they’ll be in for a surprise on election day.” If it is true that Hudak - known by the moniker “Who dat?” – is a name rarely uttered in this part of the province, the same is often said about Ontario’s second largest city among politicos at Queen’s Park. He called the neglect felt by eastern Ontario voters “legitimate” and longstanding, even though Premier Dalton McGuinty hails from the region. He said he would end the notion that Toronto can count on the federal government to support eastern Ontario. A first step toward that end, he said, is to build on the team of “strong MPPs” already in the region. He talked about the homegrown Eastern Ontario Development Fund allocating public dollars to municipalities outside the City of Ottawa for economic development and job creation. “The PCs have long supported it and we’ll ensure it continues to invest in eastern Ontario that has been devastated by manufacturing job losses,” said Hudak, who recently visited Smiths Falls. “Smiths Falls is the poster child of job losses. They’ve had more than their share of job losses.” He singled out Renfrew-Nippising-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski, who is the PC critic in the highly volatile energy portfolio. “Yak is a man of the people in one of the most challenging portfolios,” Hudak said, adding that he’ll buy the MPP musician’s new CD to hand out as Christmas gifts. Yakabuski also performed in front of 400 guests at Hudak’s annual barbecue. SOCIAL ISSUES On the social side, Hudak, 43, shies away from using the term “progressive”

to describe his Progressive Conservative party, instead repeating a mantra of “standing up for working families.” But he won’t be swayed by social conservative movements in Alberta and the U.S. that play to a white, often aging base of angry voters. He insists that Ontario could have in him, the grandson of Slovak immigrants, its first non-British Isles descended premier. “New Canadians are increasingly turning to our party. They want to stand up for more a more prosperous province and a good future for their grandkids.” He talks about “mainstream conservative principles” of lower taxes and small government under the banner of a PC name that has been around for 60 years. He also insists the party’s federal counterparts are within that same “family.” ECONOMIC ISSUES Despite a theory that blames the world economic meltdown on 30 years of trickledown economics – low corporate taxes and few regulations – Hudak said voters are tired of the Liberals raising taxes and growing government. “There is an increasing appetite for change. People are tired of higher taxes and energy rates,” he said. “That manifested itself in recent municipal campaigns.” The PCs plan to run on: • Giving families a break; • Targeting government waste and high taxes; • Creating more jobs. Momentum and poll results are growing Hudak’s direction, but he said he won’t be happy with winning an election be default. A tired, arrogant two-term Liberal government isn’t enough, he said. The PCs have Ontario’s largest survey in haveyoursayontario.ca en route to mailboxes throughout the province. As for the weight of the Mike Harris years - the strife endured during the 1990s - Hudak doesn’t even mention the name. “I think people are going to be talking about the future of the province, not 1995.”

However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf. No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party. AND TAKE NOTICE that an appeal must set out the objection to the By-law, the reasons in support of the objection and be accompanied by the prescribed fee.

Federal government passes on buying Valley rail line DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The federal government has decided not to purchase the Ottawa Valley Railway line. The government had until Friday, Nov. 5 to decide if it wanted to purchase the line, but appears to have passed on the offer. “They haven’t made any noise one way or the other,” said Mississippi Mills Mayor Al Lunney. “But it seems like they’ve passed.” Lunney is working as spokesman on the issue on behalf of Lanark County. Even though the federal government does not appear interested in owning the line, Lunney hopes that they can do their bit to save it. “We’re still trying to put pressure on them to stop, put a moratorium on it,” said Lunney. Part of the reason in calling for a moratorium is to allow a new council to get up to speed on the issue, with many new area councillors being sworn in next month. If the provincial government decides to pass, the City of Ottawa’s OC Transpo will have until

Jan. 5, 2011 to decide if it wants the line. Other municipalities will, barring a purchase from OC Transpo, have until Feb. 4 to snap it up. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor has tried to arrange a meeting between Lunney and federal transport, infrastructure and communities minister Chuck Strahl, but it doesn’t look like that will transpire. “I don’t think that is going to happen. I have spoken to O’Connor and he has spoken to Strahl,” said Lunney, who added that a meeting does not appear to be coming. “The federal government is not interested in preserving rail lines unless there (is an) economic benefit,” said Lunney. He noted that, even if it is not interested in owning the line, the federal government will need to be part of any deal to save it. “It’s going to be a partnership, with the feds, province, ourselves and private industry,” said Lunney. “Let’s figure out what we want to do with this line.” He noted that the Canadian National line from Pembroke, that goes into Quebec, has a

purchase proposal for a private tourist line. “They’ve had 100 per cent cooperation from CN and we haven’t had that (with CP),” said Lunney. The ball is now in the court of the provincial government, who has until Monday, Dec. 6 to consider if they want to purchase the line. Area MPPs Norm Sterling, John Yakabuski, and Randy Hillier, were scheduled to raise the issue at Queen’s Park in Toronto on Monday, Nov. 8. He has also been in correspondence with provincial infrastructure minister Bob Chiarelli. Lunney pointed out that having a rail line is important for any future economic development. “The rail line has to be there for something that might be there in the future,” he said, noting that the Almonte business park has access to the rail line for any future business that might need to utilize it. “Once you take it out, it’s gone,” he added. The railway tracks that used to run along Coleman Street in Carleton Place were removed many years ago, something that

Lunney does not want to see happen to any other Valley community. “That was a real wake up call to this area. It did not make sense to do that,” said Lunney of the Carleton Place decision. “It’s nice to put a walking track (in the rail’s place), but you’re putting 1,000 cars onto the road.” Lunney and the county are working on launching a media campaign to urge citizens to contact their MPs and MPPs to save the line. Lunney was a guest on CFRA 580 AM for an hour-long

Council OKs money to fire department Arnprior fire Chief John Okum received a pre-budget sum of money from council at Monday evening’s meeting to purchase safety equipment. Okum said before testing the high pressure rescue air bag system, he learned its life-expectancy of between 10 and 20 years was surpassed six years ago. Council allotted $5,375 for air bags, two high pressure air hoses, and a high pressure controller. The company providing the system will also provide training

and have it in place within two weeks. Air bags are inflated to lift heavy objects that, usually, are pinning victims. Because Arnprior is the county’s first call on airbag rescues,

debate on the issue this Monday morning to kick off the campaign. The campaign will continue with newspaper ads. “We’re going to get the people involved in this campaign,” said Lunney. While his own time as mayor of Mississippi Mills winds down on Nov. 30, he noted that he would like to continue on as the spokesman for the county on this issue. “I would like to be saying my two cents every day on this issue,” said Lunney. “I will continue to champion (the line.)”

Nature rules the day in Fitzroy The Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club held its 2010 banquet at the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre on Saturday, Nov. 6. The 100 attendees were treated to the excellent guitar work of local musician Terry Tufts. A silent auction and raffle were popular with the crowd, which much enjoyed the home-cooked full course roast beef dinner served by the congregation of St. George’s Anglican Church in Fitzroy Harbour. Michael Runtz then delighted the crowd who laughed and gasped in awe as each photo displayed the great range of nature’s beauty, from the smallest insect to the largest bull moose. Runtz journeyed through his lifetime as a student of nature. He thrilled the audience with his story of encountering a very threatening male bear one fall while photographing bears in Algonquin Park. This was “the bear that almost ate me,” according to Runtz. The Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club meets the first Tuesday of each month (except July and August) at the Arnprior and District High School, 59 Ottawa St., Arnprior. We have expert speakers on natural history topics at each of these meetings.

less than an hour away from her hometown. She worked at an information desk, a post that had been filled by a man before the war started. As women were recruited to fill the positions at headquarters, the men were sent overseas. “I felt I was doing something,” says Marion. “Being close to Ottawa, I knew the city and could help that way.” Her time at Air Force headquarters left a big impression. “It was an experience. I met and saw a lot of people,” says Marion. “Some of the people coming back I’ll never forget.” From burn victims to amputees, the memories of the wounded soldiers are troubling. “One fellow was so badly burned. I felt so sorry for him. He came in with his head down and the girl I was work-

ing with got up and left the room,” says Marion. “I was able to make eye contact with him and give him the information he needed. She recalls a set of brothers in the Air Force - the younger one sent overseas to fight and the elder stationed at headquarters. When the youngest was killed in action, his peers rallied around him. The guys took the grieving brother out for a drink and the man set a beer at an empty place at the bar in honour of his brother – and the group drank to the fallen hero all night.

“I was 14 and he was 16 when he first asked me to go steady,” says Marion of her late husband. She had no interest at the time and the both of them went along with their lives, he joining the army and she signing up to be a member of the Air Force in the spring of 1942. Fernand wrote to Marion to see if she’d like to meet up before he headed overseas and thus began a courtship that would last through the war. Marion’s decision to join the Air Force was borne of a desire to see the world and help out in the war efforts, in whatever way she could. She laughs as she explains she spent her entire time stationed in Ottawa,

While Marion Payer’s recent health challenges may mean she won’t be able to attend Arnprior’s Remembrance Day service on Nov. 11, the day holds a special significance to the 92-year-old Villa resident. Sitting in her room, Marion holds a framed set of medals – evidence of the very major sacrifices her family made for the freedom of our country. The medals are hers and those of her husband, Fernand Payer. Both grew up in or near Arnprior. Marion spent World War II in the Canadian Air Force, stationed at headquarters in Ottawa. Her husband Fernand died in 1962, receiving a Silver Cross. He was injured overseas in a motorcycle accident in Germany during the Second World War and was later discharged physically fit. Unfortunately, a lump developed in the injured area that eventually caused his death.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We give thanks

Dog’s hairy tale

To the men and women, young and old, who travelled overseas to protect Canada and defend its freedom, we give thanks. We give thanks because 60 years after the last global conflict, we will never forget your sacrifices. And we give thanks because in another 60 years, when all that is left of our finest generation are stories and memories, you will still not be forgotten. While we can never fully appreciate all that you had to endure, there are several things we know. We know you left behind in Canada your family, your friends, your job and your education. You also left behind your well-being. For these selfless acts, we give thanks. We know you picked up your life to travel by ship or plane to Europe or the Pacific. We know you endured malnourishment, disease and homesickness as enemy bullets flew overhead and shells exploded nearby. We appreciate that of all the things lost in war, you lost more than we can ever comprehend. You lost brothers and sisters, cousins, friends and classmates. You lost your youth, your innocence and your health. You lost the most precious years of your life. In respect for your losses, we give thanks. We give thanks because we’ve seen cinematic recreations of Dieppe, Normandy and the South Pacific, and we know they do not do your plight justice. We understand that while Hollywood tries to make a quick dollar off dramatizing your story, it is a story that should be taught and learned from, not exploited. We give thanks because we are fortunate to live in a free, democratic and advanced nation like Canada. And we know we would not enjoy these benefits if you had been apathetic to the threats facing our Allies. Because we simply can’t imagine what it would be like to turn our lives upside down, to travel halfway across the globe to protect our nation, we give thanks. We give thanks because we know many of you in our families and in our communities. We are thankful we have had the chance to sit with you and to hear your stories; to learn that war is something we never want to see again. To our veterans, we give our heartfelt thanks.

To the editor: Last Wednesday morning, Nov. 3, our dog Jake was upset about the sounds from the hunters guns. So he abandoned his guarding duties on our farm south of Pakenham and went for a very long walk. A kind woman picked him up near the Galetta Side Road and Highway 17. She drove him to the Arnprior Humane Society but they told her he was an Ottawa problem.

We love letters! LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Klan costume doesn’t reflect Legion, Halloween

Director of Community Relations Terrilynne Crozier terrilynne.crozier@metroland.com 613-221-6206

I received a very interesting communication from a granddaughter of mine who resides in the United Kingdom last week. She is 14 years old. She asked me for an opinion about whether Halloween or Christmas had any relevancy in today’s world! What a question. So I asked her why she wanted my opinion and her reply was that in her neighbourhood there was a backlash to Halloween in that it was an attempt to beg for commodities and as far as Christmas was concerned, sitting on Santa’s knee was an invitation for sexual exploitation. That caught me by surprise because even in my advanced aged of 70 years, I always thought of Halloween, Christmas, Easter and many other festivities as cultural events to enjoy. It never

So she drove him all the way to the Ottawa Humane Society near Preston Street. There a staffer saw our telephone number on his collar and told us of his journey but not the woman’s name. We wish to thank that kind woman who made such an effort to ensure the safety of Jake. And Jake says,”thanks for the ride.” Gratefully,

really occurred to me that there would be people who would put a ‘different spin’ on what most of us regard as normal fun loving events without hidden agendas. That was until the event at the Campbellford Royal Canadian Legion occurred where an individual dressed up as a Klu Klux Klan member showed up with a person in black makeup with a rope around his neck. That is not what Halloween is about at all. That was something else, and was racist. The Royal Canadian Legion once again suffered a black eye because it was not that long ago when a Sikh was denied entry to a Legion branch in British Columbia because he wore a turban. That kind of intolerance was wrong then and it is wrong today. While what occurred in Campbellford is not a hate crime under the Criminal

Code of Canada, it is disgusting nevertheless. It flies in the face of sacrifices our military has made in places like Afghanistan to ensure freedom and civil liberties can endure. It flies in the face of what the Royal Canadian Legion is really about. The Royal Canadian Legion does not condone these kinds of activities and yet, this occurred. The ignorance shown was even judged to be “best in show.” While it is a black eye on the organization I proudly belong to, remember that this was an isolated incident. We in the Royal Canadian Legion take pride in who we are and what we do. No one can control the absurd amongst us! If there is a God, he must really love ignorant people. Why? Because he made so many of them!

A special thank you is in order to a Theresa from Arnprior who took some of her time to help a man and his friend on the River Road on Nov. 10. The two elderly men found them selves broken down on the side of the road, very nervous and stranded. As usual many cars passed but eventually a Good Samaritan named Theresa arrived and jokingly referred to herself as “no spring chick.” Not only did she help and make arrangements, she also drove them to Renfrew. This act of kindness is hard to find today and it shouldn’t go unnoticed.

Quality control major focus of Pillar5 plant Chamber members tour local pharmaceutical manufacturer JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

The 30 Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce members who toured the Pillar5 Pharma plant in Arnprior Oct. 21 got a first-hand look at what lengths the company goes to protect its products from being compromised in any way. Those on the tour were cloaked in protective gowns, shoe covers and hairnets to ensure they didn’t introduce any outside contaminates to the system. Time and again, the tour guides for the three groups of visitors emphasized to the guests the importance of protecting the plant’s credibility by producing only top quality pharmaceuticals. “Everything is strictly controlled right through the process,” said Pillar5 Formulations and EHS manager Steve Tourangeau, one of the tour guides. The finished products are rigorously tested, he added. Without that protection, the product guarantees would be meaningless, Tourangeau said. He pointed out the plant incorporates one of the highest levels of sterilization possible to protect its product, purifies its water and does all its cleaning in house. Tourangeau said employees are proud and protective of the plant’s tradition of manufacturing quality products ready for retail by the pharmaceutical industry. “We have a legacy of quality,” he said. He noted millions of dollars have been invested on acquiring state-ofthe-art equipment and developing top-notch processes. Pillar5 has been working hard to get new product orders. It is going back to two shifts this month to handle demand and is in the process of hiring a business development manager whose job is to find new contracts and increase existing business. Pillar5, the former Pfizer plant, has been under local ownership for almost a year. It no longer focuses on Pfizer

products such as Viagra (the last batch was shipped out two months ago). It is now a contract manufacturer of a variety of pharmaceutical and consumer products for Canadian and world markets. The products, made on demand for numerous companies, are diverse, ranging from allergy and sleep medicine to pain relievers. The plant’s employees produce, package and tests tablets, capsules and sterile eye-drops. The plant can make up to 18 million bottles of eye drops a year and can produce 220,000 small tablets and 100,000 larger tablets an hour. With 90-plus employees and a strong reputation for performance, the plant continues to play a major role in providing jobs and other spin-off benefits for the town.

Support veterans, soldiers at local ceremony SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Remembrance Day festivities will get underway just before 11 a.m. this morning at the cenotaph in front of the hospital. The parade of veterans will leave the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 174 around 10:30 to head to the cenotaph. Winnifred Darling is this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silver Cross Mother. She lost her hus-

band, a pilot, during the Second World War. Bob Parsons is the Reviewing Officer who has been selected to take the salute this year. Parsons is a navy veteran who fought in the Korean War. Canadian Forces members from CFB Petawawa will once again be on hand for the ceremony. Arnprior Legion Branch 174 Sgt. At Arms Patrick Simmonds encourages

Family focus for Payer Continued from Page 6 He asked Marion to ensure her discharge was complete so they could marry as soon as possible upon his return. She was discharged in December 1945, and the couple married on March 5, 1946. Despite Fernandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health problems, they went on to have four children and Marion now boasts a large, happy family that includes 10 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. Some remain close by and others are spread wide but family has always been important, says Marion. It was a challenge to raise a family on her own but she got by working at various jobs that included housework and

members of the public to come out and show their support for veterans and current military members. Among those on his mind at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will be local navy veteran Vince Evans, who passed away earlier this year. Evans was a fixture at local Legion events and ceremonies for many years. Veterans and guests will gather at the Legion following the ceremony for a light lunch and reception.

ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE - November 11 2010

Students partner with business for experience It was a rewarding Oct. 21 for ADHS vocational students, cooperative education students, and local employers recently. Members of Joe Lavoie’s vocational class teamed up with Shirley Stevenson’s coop students to gain valuable work experience at local businesses. Not only did they see what it takes to be a co-op student, they also learned how some of our local businesses operate. The opportunity proved valuable for vocational students as many of them will progress into co-op positions in the future. Participating businesses included the Grove Nursing Home, The Chronicle Guide, Play It Again Sports, Antrim Truck Stop, KIDDS Learning Centre, and Giant Tiger. “The initiative will continue on a monthly basis throughout the semester,” Stevenson said. “Thanks to the supportive and accommodating members of the community that make such programs possible.”

There was a fine debate, but no conclusion, on why Pakenham has bi-weekly blue box pickup, compared to weekly pickup elsewhere in town. “There was not a clear directive to staff,” said Troy Dunlop, Mississippi Mills’ director of roads and public works. There were no conclusions that came out of the roads and public works committee meeting on Nov. 4. The issue had been brought to the council table by Pakenham Ward Coun. Denzil Ferguson. “What is the appropriate frequency of pickup? There’s always that delicate concern,” said Dunlop. He added that reducing collection times might hinder diversion rates. “It’s raised a very good discussion point,” said Dunlop. “It’s something we need to be thinking about in the next few

years.” Ferguson admitted that it may be a while before anything concrete can be done on the issue. “There’s a new (recycling) contract that has been signed that takes us up to 2013,” said Ferguson. “We are tied down until 2013…Maybe we were a little blindsided in the last contract.” Ferguson is hopeful that, “We will have our ducks in order before we sign another contract,” regarding pickup frequency. Further complicating matters is that the contract is shared out with other municipalities including Montague and Beckwith townships and Carleton Place. Dunlop is still fairly new to the town of Mississippi Mills, but he understands that bi-weekly pickup has been the norm as far back as 2004, when the last blue bin contract was signed, “The rationale largely for that (biweekly pick up in Pakenham)…is because you’ve got a sparse density of population

and a lot of kilometres of roads,” he said, referring to Pakenham. He said that Ramsay and Almonte have a higher density of people by comparison. “That seems to be the way it’s been all along and nobody ever picked up on it,” agreed Ferguson. “Maybe I should’ve looked at the contract more fully myself. (But) I’m not taking full responsibility for it too.” While the contract may not be up for discussion, Ferguson would like to see communication take place about the future of the recycling program.

“When are we going to look at what’s going into the recycling bin?” Ferguson asked. He noted that, when in doubt over whether an item can be recycled or not, some citizens will toss it in the garbage. Ferguson admitted that, it may not be a priority for the public works department, though he believes that, “everybody is sympathetic to coming up with a solution.” Dunlop surmised that the issue came to the fore this year because during the election campaign, citizens often queried council candidates on the topic.

Remembrance Day

COMING HOME CATHERINE O’HARA, PAMELA STEEL AND BRYNNA LESLIE Special to the Chronicle-Guide

Mike Newcombe was among the first Canadian soldiers to serve in the Persian Gulf and Bosnia. He received a Governor General’s commendation for his work. The former Peterborough and St. Marys resident witnessed atrocities, was shot at regularly and carried the stress of his job on his shoulders. He says it nearly cost him his life. Two years after leaving the Canadian Forces at the age of 43, Newcombe suffered three heart attacks. He believes post-traumatic stress disorder caused his marriage to fail, his health to decline and his life to fall apart piece by piece. Newcombe – now 49 and living in London – is busy rebuilding his shattered life and strengthening his relationships with loved ones. He is one of an estimated 274,000 veterans living in Ontario, spanning conflicts from the Second World War to Afghanistan. They are among the 749,400 veterans in all parts of the country honoured this Remembrance Day for service to Canada. But no matter which generation they are from, veterans can find the transition from combat to civilian life a nightmare. Figures compiled by Metroland show the number of psychological injuries reported by veterans has more than tripled since the Korean War. Veterans Affairs Canada currently has 2,566 clients from the Second World War and the Korean War receiving benefits for psychological conditions. There are 8,266 post-Korean War veterans suffering from psychological ailments, an increase from 3.7 to 13.1 per cent of all vets on its roster. Other problems exist for those coming home. Many who have served in recent missions report hitting a wall of bureaucracy at Veterans Affairs when trying to get financial assistance, treatment or support, and complain they are not being treated honourably by the country they served. Outgoing Veterans Ombudsman Colonel Pat Stogran, Liberal Veterans Affairs critic Kirsty Duncan and a nationwide veterans’ protest group accuse the government of having an insurance-company mindset, and caring more about the bottom line than the well-being of the injured and their families. “Unfortunately, the government has been fighting us constantly,” said Canadian Veterans National Day of Protest leader Mike Blais of Niagara Falls. He’s a retired sergeant who served tours in Germany and Cyprus with the Royal Canadian Regiment. Veterans Affairs Minister Jean-Pierre Blackburn says the government is trying to find remedies. “Some of these problems are systemic,” he told Metroland. “Some of our rules and regulations do not make sense when applied to reality, and this is a point on which I am acting.” In the last six weeks, his government has announced three proposals to better meet veterans’ needs: a $200-million program for the severely injured over the next five years, increased funding for caseworkers to shorten wait times for the processing of claims, and a more receptive policy for veterans with ALS (amyotrophic lateral

Frank Cauley, seen here beside a painting of a Sunderland, says it was his pact with God that made his transition from war to civilian life easier. sclerosis), potentially benefiting about 36 military families. In conjunction with this Remembrance Day, the Royal Canadian Mint is issuing 11 million new 25-cent coins with red poppies at their centres to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, and to honour all soldiers past and present. Even so, the fury continues. Controversy exists over the government’s refusal to renew Stogran’s post as ombudsman, privacy issues and perceived flaws in the New Veterans Charter, a change made to the way the government compensates veterans in the event of injury, disability or death, including lump-sum payments in place of pensions. But for every generation, whatever they face when returning to civilian life, they carry with them near-universal experiences in combat, from survivor guilt to the horrors of the battlefield. Each soldier’s coming-home story is unique. PACT WITH GOD Eighty-nine-year-old Frank Cauley claims it was his pact with God that made the transition from war to civilian life easy when he returned home to Ottawa after serving three years overseas during the Second World War. Days after he stepped off the ship in Canada in 1945, he signed up as a volunteer with the Salvation Army, an organization he remembered as the greatest comfort during war time, “always on hand with free coffee, warm socks, and every necessity you could imagine.” Cauley had spent five years as a navigator with the Royal Canadian Air Force, posted on several reconnaissance missions off the coast of Britain. He did 30 trips over Germany on bomber command. And he gained instant fame in March, 1944 when he helped patch the bow of a Sunderland bomber with Wrigley’s chewing gum, after sinking a German U-boat off the coast of Northern

Ireland. But it was more than a year earlier that Cauley suffered a tragedy and then a miracle that altered his life course forever. On Feb. 6, 1943, during a routine training exercise off the coast of Southern England, one of the twin engines in the Armstrong Whitworth he was helping to crew caught fire. The bomber, better known as the A.W.38 Whitley or the flying coffin, hit the water and broke in half, killing the four other crew members. “The plane broke where I was standing, but it also happened to be where the dinghy popped out of the wing,” Cauley recounted in an interview at his Ottawa South home. “I spent the next three days, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) floating off the coast of Spain and praying to anyone I could think of.” Cauley jokes that, over the next three days, he prayed to Frank Sinatra, the pope, and even then-Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King. But mostly he prayed to God. “I told Him that if I got out of the situation, I would spend the rest of my life doing whatever I could to help my fellow man.” After three days, A British Destroyer heard Cauley fire off the last of four cartridges in his pistol, shifted course and picked him up. True to his word, Cauley went on to volunteer for more than 40 organizations over the next 55 years. He even ran and was elected to the school board at the age of 60, and became a councillor in the former City of Gloucester at age 70. HAUNTING MEMORIES Like Cauley, Jack Patterson, 86, shipped out from Canada to Europe in the ’40s. The Parry Sound man served with The Algonquin Regiment. Patterson recalls the carnage of war and the “terrible stench of death” as he was marched by German soldiers through the Falaise Gap in France after

his capture in 1944. He spent the remainder of the war in a notorious PoW camp called Stalag VIIA in Bavaria, enduring extreme deprivation, hunger, lice and illness. Although he has since become one of the most recognizable faces of the Parry Sound Legion, he had no interest in joining the organization when he got home. He didn’t want to be reminded of war. “I didn’t want to have anything to do with it,” he said. “I didn’t even call myself a veteran.” Patterson went back to his job at Canadian Pacific Railway, married Annie four months after his return and raised three children. He was successful at his career and is proud of his kids. But Patterson now realizes, “I was not OK. My mind was doing crazy things,” he said. “Even now I see a psychiatrist four times a year. I had shell shock.” Bernice Greenfield knows there were many WWII veterans who suffered psychological trauma. Greenfield, the service officer for the Huntsville Legion, was a volunteer at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto in 1945. She remembers wards full of the battle fatigued. Operational stress injury is the new term used by the Canadian Forces to describe an assortment of psychological conditions and challenges experienced by soldiers stemming from their military duties. Operational stress injuries can include depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder. Dr. Jitender Sareen, a University of Manitoba psychiatrist, whose medical research is primarily focused on the mental health of soldiers, said post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental ailment triggered by a traumatic event, including combat. Symptoms associated with it include flashbacks, nightmares of the traumatic event, irritability and social withdrawal. Post-traumatic stress disorder affects more than the afflicted soldiers, explained occupational therapist Gillian Templeton of the traumatic stress recovery program at Homewood Health Centre in Guelph. “PTSD creates a social wound,” she said. “You can imagine a woman sleeping next to her husband who is waking up screaming with night terrors, and he is struggling in all kinds of ways – that is definitely going to impact her.” Since 2001, Veterans Affairs has funded nine operational stress injury clinics across Canada, two in Ontario, in London and Ottawa. Newcombe, the sergeant who had three heart attacks after his return from service, says the care he received at the clinic at Parkwood Hospital in London saved his life. “Today, I am here because of the OSI Clinic,” said Newcombe, who has taken on the role of peer-support co-ordinator for Operational Stress Injury Social Support in Southern Ontario. The peer-support initiative is funded by both the Department of National Defence and Veterans Affairs Canada, and has been attended by 5,500 soldiers, veterans and their families since its inception in 2001. “It’s so nice to know that you are not alone,” he said.

Tips to avoid wildlife while driving The period from October to January is a time when motor vehicle collisions with animals peak in the province of Ontario, according to OPP. Wild animals are unpredictable and can cause significant damage and injuries to vehicles and occupants. Dusk and dawn are when most animals are moving and collisions can oc-

cur. Some tips to improve your chances of arriving safely at your destination include: observe ditches for animals and watch for their glowing eyes at night, reduce your speed in areas frequented by animals, brake for animals on or near the road, stay in control of your vehicle, don’t swerve suddenly and risk losing control.

Arnprior Rotarian lectures on First World War DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The life and death of A.H. Prior, a private in the 84th Battalion during the First World War, played a central role in a lecture enjoyed by about 20 members of the Arnprior Rotary Club on Monday evening. Prior’s maternal grandson, Brian Patterson, began the presentation by deploring the military’s recent troubles: the controversy over compensation; its on-and-off future in Afghanistan; and the anti-war white poppy campaign. However, Patterson said his mother and grandmother would be put off by lofty words floated every Remembrance Day. War is the result of a failure of diplomacy. “They didn’t feel the terrible price was worth it,” Patterson said. “Especially the First World War. It was an insane debacle and rather mad in many ways.” Prior was a self-employed carpenter in Toronto when he enlist-

ed. Because he was 38, had a wife and three kids, Patterson speculated he felt compelled to support family and fellow patriots in his home country of England. “I think he felt he had an obligation to serve.” He died on Nov. 16, 1916, two days before a massive slaughter of Canadians. Patterson showed slides of his visit to Passchendale, Belgium, site of one of Canada’s darkest hours where some 16,000 casualties were claimed between October and November 1917. He talked about the failure of Dieppe. He talked about Vimy, a battle many point to as signaling the

birth of the nation. He showed the many differences between German graveyards and those of the Allies. Gloomy, grey and a touch neglected – the losers don’t go out of their way to remember. Vimy and others, by contrast, show bright white gravestones in mathematically precise rows with immaculatelygroomed grounds. Either way, though, common to both sides is that the effects of war reverberate through future generations. “Wars are never over when Photo by Derek Dunn they are over,” Patterson said. “They go on and on. His death af- Rotarians Brian Patterson and Dave Palmer participate in a lecture Monday evening about the First World War. fected my mother, and me.”

Dealing with wild animals Where an animal is in need of help, it requires specialized care to recover and return to the wild, says the MNR in a news release. To determine if young wildlife is truly orphaned: • check the animal periodically for 24 to 48 hours to see if it is still around, but keep your distance; • Keep cats and dogs away from the area where the young animal is; the adult will not return if it is noisy or if predators or people are close by. Signs of injury or illness: • blood, wounds or swelling on the body; • body covered in fleas; • unusual or uneven loss of fur or feathers; • difficult or raspy breathing or sneezing; • dangling leg or wing; • closed eyes; head tucked under wing. Care necessary to help the animal: • contact a wildlife custodian who can help you assess the situation and will provide advice on what action to take; • if specialized and immediate care is necessary to help the animal, take it to a wildlife custodian or a veterinarian within 24 hours of capture; • if you must handle the animal, follow the instructions provided by the wildlife custodian on how to minimize risk of injury to yourself and to the animal. • wear protective clothing and equipment, such as leather gloves, to avoid bites or scratches, and wash hands well after.

Cancer maybe affecting Janet Greer’s body, but the single-mom and business analyst won’t let it affect her spirit. Originally from Arnprior — and transplanted to Ottawa’s west end — Greer found out she had breast cancer about seven years and stayed clear of the disease until she found out it had metastasized. “That means she has cancer behind her eyes, brain, liver, everywhere,” JoAnne Stadnyk, a childhood friend of Greer’s said. Stadnyk said Greer has a tremendous generous spirit and is convinced she will beat the disease to stay around her daughter, Sophie. “Her daughter really is her world,” Stadnyk said. As a testament to their love and support, a group of Greer’s friends gathered together to join a team called “Jam Tards”— named because of Greer’s nickname “Jammie.” Now those same friends, and a few more, are getting together on Nov. 6 at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church in Bells Corners to raise money to help Greer’s cause. The pasta dinner and silent auction will provide much-needed funds to help Greer in her search for alternative treatments to beat the disease that is attacking her body. Since her battle, Greer has been doing a regular blog called simply, “Janet’s Blog.” It provides regular updates on her treatment trials and her health. The week leading up to the fund-

raiser was a tough one, as Greer found out her mother —who has been undergoing a series of tests at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital — may also have metastatic cancer. “I am not sure how I am feeling about this,” Greer wrote on her blog. “I am hoping they’re wrong, but I suspect they aren’t.” Greer also had her first chemotherapy treatment for November and was in good spirits. “She’s the kind of person, who you know will beat it, because she just has this amazing will to live,” Stadnyk said. Stadnyk said that during the Run for the Cure, Greer had a bad case of shingles and was in severe pain, but still managed to complete the one-kilometre walk. “She’s really tough as nails,” Stadnyk said. In June of 2009, Greer went away to Hippocrates in Florida to learn about their diet and supplements, and much more. With this information, she started practicing their approach and was able to control the cancer for approximately six months last year. Unfortunately in 2010, the cure was no longer working, the cancer returned and she had to go back to more traditional methods. This hasn’t stolen her hope, and the money raised at the pasta dinner and silent auction will allow her more freedom to try different things.

Redmen ground RedHawks to win championship Arnprior gets revenge for only loss of regular season ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@metroland.com

In the game that counted most, the Redmen were the better men. Arnprior District High School (ADHS) defeated Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) 34-24 to bring home the Lanark-Renfrew senior boys’ football championship on Nov. 10 at SFDCI. The victory was doublysweet for the Redmen, who lost their regular season encounter against the previously undefeated RedHawks. “It was a tight game,” said Redmen star running back Jesse Andrews. “Our defence made big plays and was able to stop them.” Andrews rushed in for a

touchdown early in the first half, and doubling as place kicker, converted all but one of his attempts. Several scouts from various Canadian universities and colleges were in attendance watching Andrews, as well as a few other players. Andrews received praise for his play after the game by defensive coordinator Steve Staye. “He’s the MVP of the league as far as I’m concerned,” he said. Staye said that the defence played a great game to secure the win for ADHS. “We’ve been inconsistent a lot of the year on defence,” he said. “The few times they needed to, they stopped them.” The first half was a back-andforth battle with Arnprior holding a 21-14 lead, when SFDCI’s Dischaine Thompson rushed for a touchdown with no time left on the clock to tie the game 21-21 at the break. Thompson finished the game scoring all three RedHawk touchdowns. “He had a heck of a running

game,” said Bill Wheeler, SFDCI head coach. “Today was Arnprior’s day. We scored a lot of points, but we gave up a lot of points.” Arnprior’s Mitch Bott rushed in for a touchdown with seven minutes left in the third quarter to put ADHS up 28-21, but with less than one minute left in the quarter, ADHS turned the ball over in their end. The turnover led to an SFDCI field goal in the first minute of the final quarter

Senior girls take rugby crown Shutout sends Arnprior to eastern Ontario finals The Arnprior District High School senior girls rugby team outdid Mother Nature today, blowing away the competition at blustery Dochart Park on Oct. 28. The girls came up with an 11-0 blanking of Pembroke’s Bishop Smith Catholic High School to capture the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association title. The win means ADHS will represent the athletic association at the eastern Ontario championships in the spring.

The RedHawks were unable to capitalize on an ADHS turnover late in the game and Arnprior’s Ryan Kargus put the game out of reach with his second touchdown of the afternoon. The TD came with under a minute left in regulation and gave the Redmen a 34-24 lead. “We gave them their chances,” said Trevor Rosine, offensive coordinator for ADHS. “We played hard and we had a great plan to deal with their defence. “It was a great win for the guys, especially those that are in their fifth year. It’s been three years coming for them.”

The Galetta Lawn Bowling Club closed the ‘green’ for the winter after a very successful season of competition. Outgoing president Morgan Robinson acknowledged and congratulated the competitive success of the club’s members, many of whom are from Arnprior, at the district, provincial and national levels. Playing respectively in the men’s and ladies’ fours, David and Sandra Jefferies represented Ontario in the Canadian championships in Edmonton. After taking the Ontario silver medal, the men’s team tied for third at the national level. The ladies’ team won provincial gold and played for Ontario at the Nationals. Grant Fletcher and John Bennett bowling in the senior men’s triples won District 16 and represented the district at the provincial finals. In the men’s pairs, Fletcher and a player from the Elmdale Club won the district and continued on to the provincial finals. Kin Dillane, John Stevenson and Andy Tait won the District 16 playdowns in the novice men’s triples and then continued on to represent the district in the Ontario finals. The Governor-General’s competition is held annually between representative teams from Quebec and Ontario. Fletcher,

Galetta Lawn Bowling Club members John Stevenson, left, Kin Dillane and Andy Tait won the District 16 Novice Triples at the Elmdale club in Ottawa and represented the local district at the provincial championships in Hanover. Ted Tozer, Dillane and Daryle Carmichael won the right to represent Ontario at this year’s tournament in Smiths Falls. Robinson also noted that individual teams did extremely well in the in-club tournaments and those sponsored by other District 16 clubs. Robinson concluded that she was pleased to witness the increase in membership this past year. She stressed that the club must look to encouraging youth to join its ranks, “as they will be

the future of our game.” The Galetta Lawn Bowling Club is located at the Galetta Community Centre. Its members come from Arnprior, Pakenham, Carp, Kinburn, Woodlawn, Dunrobin, Kanata and Ottawa. The spring 2011 season will open at the Club on Tuesday, May 17 at 3 p.m. All parties interested in trying out the game are encouraged to join in a warm-up game and a pot-luck dinner on that date. For information, contact president Kin Dillane at 613-832-5456.

Packers fly past Jets PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Arnprior Packers continue a see-saw battle with the Perth Blue Wings for top spot in the Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. It is Perth who holds the upper hand by a single point following their 5-2 win over the Packers on Sunday night. A goal from Brett Lewandowsky in the final minute of the second period to break a 2-2 tie, and a pair of Shawn McGillivray markers 28 seconds apart early in the third, spelled doom on this night for the Packers. Matt Gagne was handed the starting assignment with Germain Tsatsura sidelined by injury. Gagne faced 41 shots while the Packers directed 36 pucks at Perth goaltender Jeremy Wright. The Packers scored two late second-period goals, and later added the lone tally in the third to take down the

Metro Division’s Metcalfe Jets 5-3 in the mushroom capital Friday night. Packers coach and general manager Bill Griese was pleased with the effort his team turned in against defending Valley champion Perth. “They got a couple of goals off face-offs. There were some rookie mistakes, which we thought we’d see earlier in the season,” Griese observed. “We had a couple breakaways in the second period. I think it was an even game. Perth just buried their chances.” The Packers have a home-and-home series with the Metro Division front-running Clarence Creek Beavers this weekend. The teams meet at Nick’s on Friday at 8 p.m., and reconvene in Clarence Creek Sunday at 2:15 p.m. Griese said this is a big weekend. Clarence Creek has lost only once in 16 starts.

The indoor walking program will be running from now to March (except for a two-week Christmas break) each Tuesday and Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. Last year, the response surprised organizers with 475 people registering. In total on the 28 evening walks between January and April, there were 3,126 walks completed. The walkers can exercise knowing there are heart health experts on hand to assist if need be. At the start of the new season, organizer Peggy Wallace thanked the “wonderful volunteers” who make the program possible, along with ADHS and the Heart Institute.

GETTING WITH IT

Photo by John Carter

Simple Ways to Move Your Body You can start the process of weight loss now by adding a little more activity to your life. If you’re not ready for a structured program, start small. Every little bit counts and it all adds up to burning more calories. • Turn off the TV. Once a week, turn off the TV and do something a little more physical with your family. Play games, take a walk...almost anything will be more active than sitting on the couch. • Walk more. Look for small ways to walk more. When you get the mail, take a walk around the block, take the dog for an extra outing each day or walk on your treadmill for 5 minutes before getting ready for work.

• Do some chores. Shoveling snow, working in the garden, raking leaves, sweeping the ﬂoor...these kinds of activities may not be ‘vigorous’ exercise, but they can keep you moving while getting your house in order. • Pace while you talk. When you’re on the phone, pace around or even do some cleaning while gabbing. This is a great way to stay moving while doing something you enjoy. • Be aware. Make a list of all the physical activities you do on a typical day. If you ﬁnd that the bulk of your time is spent sitting, make another list of all the ways you could move more--getting up each hour to stretch or walk, walk the stairs at work, etc.

Quinn is a playful little cat who loves attention and is very affectionate. The one-and-a-half-year-old spayed female was found in Burnstown in March, pregnant and in terrible condition. She is playful, easygoing and gentle. Quinn is active and likes to run and climb. She is good with other cats and well-behaved dogs and she would be good with children.

Isabella is a friendly, outgoing cat who likes to be held and picked up. The oneand-a-half-year-old spayed female was brought to the shelter to ﬁnd a new home. Isabella is playful and curious but not overly active. She will require some grooming to keep her long hair beautiful. Isabella should go to a home where she is the only pet.

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

The shelter is collecting UPC codes from all bags of Whiskas dry cat food until the end of December 2010. You can call the Arnprior and District Humane Society at 613-623-0916 between noon and 5 p.m Monday to Saturday or visit www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca

The people of Peru say gracias Cathy Mahusky and Nancy Bailey move mattresses.

SISTER PAULINE COULTERMAN Sisters of St. Joseph

Sincere thanks to the many families of Renfrew County and surrounding area, who have supported, and continue to support the Mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Chincha Alta, Peru. In February eight friends accompanied me on my annual visit to Chincha Alta. They were Catherine Mahusky of Renfrew, Bob Coyne of Arnprior, Nancy Burton-Coyne of Arnprior, Yvonne Sklepowicz of Renfrew, Terri-Lynn Mahusky of Renfrew, June Brayshaw of Mattawa, Leanne Brayshaw of Mattawa and Nancy Bailey of Renfrew. Most of the needy families they visited live in the rural area of the parish and therefore the streets have not been paved or repaired in any way since the earthquake. Children play in the dirt streets and dogs roam where they wish. Women throw their wash water on the road to keep the dust down. The visitors were welcomed into the people’s homes as if they were long lost friends or relatives. On their visit they took note of the living conditions of the Peruvian family and in most situations found the house to be inadequate in size and space for the number of people living there. There appeared to be no opportunity for privacy of any nature. Beds and mattresses were scarce and in poor condition. Often the house was sparsely furnished with no sign of any food. Each time we were overcome with compassion for the family living in these conditions. It was impossible to meet all of their needs but we tried to address their most urgent and immediate one. Every other day these visitors would take a translator and enough money and go into the market to order beds, mattresses and chairs and then go on to purchase food, pillows, sheets, small propane stoves, pots and pans,

Then they returned to the con- the Peruvian people. vent to make up the necessary packages for each family. It was heartbreaking to see the conditions people are forced to live in, but when they revisited the families with a few basic necessities lots of hugs, kisses and God blesses were showered on them. The donations to the Sisters of St. Joseph through the Christmas Fundraiser helped over 60 families in one way or another. Many received beds as there were more than 45 beds, 16 of Flyer prices in effect which were bunk-beds, with their Friday, November 12 to mattresses and pillows and some Thursday, November 18, 2010 48 chairs delivered to these families. Generally each of these deliveries was accompanied with food, hygiene products and other needed supplies.

It was amazing to see how far this money went and every penny was greatly appreciated by the Peruvian recipients. The success of the mission was overwhelming and we are very grateful for the support of our friends and community. It is our hope to work towards a February 2011 Mission to Chincha and we look forward to another outpouring of support. We left a few unfinished projects, which we hope to address in the near future.

The biggest “pet” peeve I have would be the internet. It is so easy to just point and click to get help often resulting in bad or even dangerous results. After many years of hearing all kinds of home remedies to remove skunk odour and eradicate flea infestations I thought it was time to dispel those rumours. Skunks can spray a target 10 to 15 feet away with amazing accuracy. Ever wonder why your pet smells months after the attack? The chemical responsiIAN ble for the offensive odour is called thiols, which when moist continues to release the odour. Chemicals in the musk (skunk spray) do more than just produce odour, they also affect your pet’s eyes, nose, and taste. Distorted vision can occur for a few minutes followed by the eyes tearing for a few hours. Profuse salivating from the mouth can be expected. If your pet is close enough to the skunk, its sense of smell and taste could be diminished for one-to-two weeks, resulting in a poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. All effects are usually temporary. Unfortunately, if left untreated, the skunk odour is always last to subside. I have heard of using peroxide and vinegar, tomato juice, baby oil, mineral oil, citronella, toothpaste and automotive degreasers - all of which do not effectively remove the odour. Some remedies can even be dangerous to your pet. Regardless if you try an online or homemade remedy or purchase a retail product, nothing works better than a good old fashioned bath. I find numerous baths sometimes as many as eight will remove most of (not all of) the odour. Bathing a dog at home in a small bathroom with very little ventilation can cause the pet

owner some distress as well since the odour can cause problems with breathing and can cause eye irritation. The irritation is similar to the burning, itching and tearing you would get cutting up an onion - only worse. If you do find yourself up early one morning with a skunk problem, keep your dog confined to the garage and call a professional pet groomer. Pet groomers have the ability to safely and effectively remove as much of STUPP the odour as possible depending on the severity of the attack. Fleas have been a constant problem in the Ottawa Valley and I can say that there is only one remedy: Pyrethrin insecticides such as flea spray and other flea products. Pyrethrins are produced from the Chrysanthemum flower and are considered a neurotoxin. Pyrethrin Insecticides work by permeating the shell of the insect causing paralysis and death. I have heard of using lemon, tea tree oil, baby oil and household cleaning solutions, all of which do not remove a flea infestation from either your pet or your home. Some remedies can be harmful to your pet. If you do not remove the fleas and flea eggs from your pet and your home you will continue to have problems. Large flea infestations can become immune to Pyrethrins. I usually recommend pet owners with reoccurring problems hire an exterminator instead of purchasing store bought sprays.

Getting to know … Erik Karlsson By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Two years ago, he took centre stage as the Ottawa Senators’ top pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. And truth be told, Erik Karlsson was a bit of a mystery man to many of the fans attending the ﬁrst round of that draft at Scotiabank Place. But the Senators were convinced they’d landed a gem of a blueliner with rare offensive gifts. With one season now under his belt, the 20-year-old native of Landsbro, Sweden, has already gone a long way toward justifying the immense faith Senators management had in him when they brought Karlsson into the organization. He made the team out of training camp last fall but a month into the year, was sent down to the Binghamton Senators for some American Hockey League

seasoning. By the time the calendar flipped to January, however, Karlsson began to establish himself as one of the Senators’ top blueliners, a 5-11, 175-pound dynamo with breathtaking skills with the puck. He finished his rookie season with five goals and 21 assists in 60 games. His 26-point total ranked second among all Ottawa defenceman, behind only veteran Filip Kuba. Karlsson took some time out to talk about hockey, his homeland and whole lot more. Q: Your favourite hockey memory growing up in Sweden? A: When I was picked for the Under-16 national team when I was 15. That’s the one I can think of right now. Q: Who were your hockey idols growing up? A: There were so many. I’d probably say Nick Lidstrom. (Daniel) Alfredsson was one of them. (Mats) Sundin, (Peter) Forsberg, those guys. Q: When did you know you could make it to the NHL? A: Last

year was probably when I realized that I could play here. Q: Your welcome to the NHL moment? A: When they told me to get a house here and get settled. Q: Best piece of advice you ever got from Daniel Alfredsson? A: He helped me a lot, so it’s hard to pick out one thing. But he always told me to be positive, even when it’s going not so good. Q: What do you miss the most about Sweden? A: The lunches. It’s food that you don’t have here. Q: What’s your favourite thing to do when you go home? A: I like playing tennis. Q: What other sport would you like to play for a living if you weren’t a hockey player? A: Tennis player. Q: How much would it mean to you to play for Sweden at the Olympics? A: It would be awesome. It’s a thing you really want to do. Q: What do like to watch on TV? A: I watch a lot of Two And A Half Man. I’ve seen it all. That’s my favourite show. And I like Friends, too. Q: Your favourite type of music. A: I like house music. Q: What’s the ﬁrst thing you bought after you signed your ﬁrst contract?

A: A pair of new shoes. Q: What do you like to do to relax? A: Watch TV. Q: What’s your dream car? A: It would be a Ferrari. Q: Three things on your bucket list. A: Win the Stanley Cup, win an Olympic gold medal and have kids. Q: Your favourite NHL city to visit. A: Vancouver. The atmosphere and the surroundings there are so nice.

Q: Talent you’d most like to have. A: I can’t sing. I like to sing in the car, but I’m not very good.

Senators on TV

With the addition of a bit of championship pedigree, the Thrashers have made some early season noise in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta’s off-season overhaul included the acquisition of four players — forwards Dustin Byfuglien, Andrew Ladd and Ben Eager, along with defenceman Brent Sopel — who had a major hand in bringing the Stanley Cup to Chicago last season. Homegrown talent is also part of the mix, with former ﬁrst-round draft picks Evander Kane and Alexander Burmistrov seeing regular duty for the Thrashers. Tobias Enstrom is an underrated force on the Atlanta blue line, while Chris Mason has shouldered the bulk of the goaltending duties early on.

As Nov. 11 approaches the cadets and staff of 2360 Royal Canadian Army Cadets are remembering the lives lost in the conflicts Canada has been involved in dating back from the two World Wars and the Korea War to those lost more recently in Afghanistan. Over the Oct. 30-31 weekend several cadets volunteered their time to assist Branch 174 of the Royal Canadian Legion in poppy sales throughout the town of Arnprior. With the support of the community, the two days were very successful. Two 2360 RCACC cadets, Bombardier Kyle Rath and Master Warrant Officer Brayden White, participated in the Candle Light Ceremony on Nov. 1 at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa. Soldiers from the corps affiliated unit 42nd Field Regiment RCA, will speak to the cadets on Nov. 10 on their experiences in Afghanistan and the importance of Remembrance Day for current soldiers. The corps will be present on Nov. 11 for the Remembrance Day parade and ceremony at the Arnprior Cenotaph and various school ceremonies. The 6th Annual Arnprior Veterans Memorial Patrol will be conducted on Saturday, Nov. 20. This walkathon fundraiser pays homage to war times when soldiers patrolled the streets of communities to ensure their safety and security. The cadets and staff of 2360 will assemble at the Arnprior Legion at 6 p.m. They will be served supper, and then begin their walk throughout the night. They will return to the Legion for breakfast at 6 a.m. on Sunday morning. And will then return to their homes. Cadets will be collecting pledges for the patrol in order to help fund their year-end trip and adventure training activities. For More information on the patrol or army cadets in general, please contact the Commanding Officer, Capt Jo Babin at 613 862 2360.

Bombardier Cody Carson and Master Bombardier Hailie Harris accept donations for poppies.

LONG HISTORY The Dean family has been connected to the agricultural community for generations. Bill and Helen Dean own the dairy farm, which is currently operated by sons Glen and Dale Dean. “The community feels strongly about helping because the Deans have contributed so much in the past,” said Cousens. Bill served as a councillor in the former Fitzroy township, and both Bill and Helen have been 4H leaders. Helen has also volunteered with the Women’s Institute for 50 years. The couple have been lifelong members of the Ayrshire Association of Leeds and Lanark. Bill and Helen’s involvement carried through to their sons; Glen and his wife Leah, and Dale and his wife Jennifer are all part of 4-H. Glen and Dale were also junior farmers, and Dale later served as president of the Carp Fair board. Leah helps out with the West Carleton 4-H and started a new 4-H this summer called the small engines club, which filled up immediately. Jennifer is the president of the Galetta Recreation Association. Members of the 4-H will support the Deans by helping out during the Nov. 20 benefit night. Cousens said friends and neigh-

The Dean family’s silo destroys a large part of their milking operation on Oct. 4. The community will help the Deans get back on their feet with a benefit dance in Carp on Nov. 20.

613-433-6569 OFFICE 613-623-7922 DIRECT

A community will come together on Nov. 20 to help one of its own. The Dean family’s silo – filled with grain - fell onto the farm’s dairy barn on Oct. 4. No one was injured, but the damage and upset has forced the family to send its cows to two other farms, making milking a challenge every day. The barn will need to replaced, along with much of the milking equipment. Grain storage for future seasons will also be needed. On Nov. 20, a free evening of dancing and entertainment is offered at the Carp Agricultural Hall, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. There will be live and silent auction items, and all proceeds will go to help the Deans get life back to normal.

bours have stepped up too. “The community has been very generous in donating items (for the live and silent auctions),” she said. More information is available from Debbie Elliott at 613-623-5420.

HOOPE US N E

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

The auction duties will be handled by John O’Neill and Carson Hill. Entertainment will be provided by two musical acts: Local Traffic and Mike Ryan. Annette Cousens said she’s known the family for about 20 years, and many other old friends are helping to organize the event. “There’s probably a good 10 or so of us,” said Cousens when asked about the volunteers behind the benefit evening.

ADMH participates in patient safety week

ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE - November 11 2010

Hospital offers long-distance dermatology care Dr. Jason Sack and the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital (ADMH) are bringing care closer to home – via telemedicine. Patients can now consult with Dr. Sack right from their own local hospital, reducing the barriers of time and added stress. The dermatologist, dermatopathologist and skin oncologist provides services to patients from Ottawa and across the Valley. In his practice, he is routinely asked to see adolescents with acne, many of whom require oral treatments (i.e. Accutane) and regular clinical assessments. “The commute to Arnprior often translates into both parents and students needing to take time off work and school driving to and from the appointment,” explains Dr. Sack. “We were looking for ways to make things easier for patients

and families.” Dr. Sack has collaborated with ADMH to introduce a Teledermatology service. Patients from Ottawa, Carleton Place, Almonte, Pembroke and Petawawa, who have previously been assessed and prescribed Accutane by Dr. Sack, can now be followed by videoconference using the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN). OTN is one of the largest telemedicine networks in the world, and uses two-way teleconferencing to provide access to care for patients in every hospital and hundreds of other health care locations across the province. OTN is an independent, notforprofit organization funded by the province. For each monthly appointment, patients go to the telemedicine studio at their local hospital/health facility and are

connected live with the hospital in Arnprior. They are able to interact with Dr. Sack, who can assess their progress, answer any questions they may have and set a date for the next visit. “Arnprior District Memorial Hospital has over 20 specialists providing care to Arnprior and surrounding communities,” said CEO Eric Hanna. “We utilize technology such as telemedicine to broaden the reach of these specialized programs across the counties of Renfrew and Lanark. The growth in these specialized services is consistent with the corporation’s vision of ‘being recognized for exemplary care’.” By using this invaluable tool, Dr. Sack is innovatively improving the quality of life for many young patients in and around the Valley.

DIABETES DAY NOVEMBER 14, 2010

Diabetes is a degenerative disease that develps when the body has difﬁculty producing and supplying the proper amount of insulin. Glucose is the main source of energy for our bodies. In fact, most of the food we eat contains one form of sugar or another, which our bodies turn into glucose to be used. But for our muscles and tissues to properly absort it, insulin is needed. Without it, our bodies are unable to store this form of energy. To further increase awareness of the risks of diabetes November 14 is World Diabetes Day. World Diabetes is a campaign that features themed campaigns for the entire year. Since 1991 the campaign has marked the birth date of Frederick Banting, who, along with Charles Best, ﬁrst conceived the idea which led to the discovery of insulin in 1922.

The Canadian Diabetes Association plays an invaluable role in the everyday lives of millions of Canadians who live with diabetes. To learn more about the prevention and management of this disease visit the Canadian Diabetes Association’s website at www.diabetes.ca.
