IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE CHRISTMAS There are growing signs the Christmas season has arrived in Arnprior. The Arnprior Legion is inviting organizations, businesses and people to enter floats in the annual Santa Claus Parade, set for Saturday, Nov. 27 at 6 p.m. Meanwhile, the Fountain Community Life Centre is taking Christmas cheer applications next week. Anyone needing assistance for Christmas should come to the former Alexander Reid School Tuesday through Friday (Nov. 23-26) from 12:30 to 3 p.m.

ARNPRIOR – One dog was saved but another died while trapped a in a house with smoke billowing from every window last Friday morning. Firefighters from Ottawa and the Town of Arnprior descended on the blaze at 5368 Madawaska Blvd. at about 10:15 a.m. Located next to McAllister Ford, the brick bungalow is rented by three nowdisplaced people who weren’t at the scene. However, homeowner Bill McAllister was at work next door when a customer left then ran back into the showroom to say smoke was coming from the house. That’s when employee Susan Biard ran across the parking lot, opened the back door and a German Shepherd raced out. She climbed down the stairs and heard barking inside, but the door was too hot to touch. Another family pet, locked in a dog crate, died soon after. “She’s a hero,” McAllister said of Biard, as the anxious Shepherd barked incessantly in a nearby field.

Continued from front No cause has been determined, though firefighters on the scene said it originated in the basement. Damage to the building is estimated at $100,000; to the contents $50,000. First on the scene, Arnprior firefighters had it under control by 11:15 a.m., stopping flames from licking up to the ground floor. Ottawa firefighters took over moments later. Forty firefighters and 14 vehicles participated. McAllister appeared less concerned with the cause than with the safety of everyone involved. “Just glad nobody’s hurt. At least nobody’s hurt,” he said. “It was a marvelous house.” McAllister is also angry about the situation, saying because he is just outside Arnprior town limits, he mistakenly said was forced to wait for City of Ottawa fire crews. Arnprior firefighters are three kilometres away. “I’m very upset. I do everything for Arnprior. We should be part of Arnprior,” McAllister said. “The Arnprior guys are great. I just wish I was part of Arnprior.” Arnprior Fire Chief John Okum said it is natural for victims to believe firefighters are taking a long time to arrive when they are watching their home go up in flames. Emotions can wreak havoc with reason. But when Ottawa’s 911 was alerted, an automatic call would have been placed to Arnprior within seconds. “There would have been no lag. Our response time was fairly quick,” Okum said. “It’s devastating to people. It does seem like a long time to them.” The basement was completely gutted by the fire and there is heavy smoke damage throughout the residence.

TOWNSHIP OF McNAB/BRAESIDE

INAUGURAL MEETING The Public is invited to attend the Inaugural Meeting of the Council of the Township of McNab/Braeside on December 1st, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. in the Township Council Chambers Noreen C. Mellema, CMO CAO/Clerk

426868

A quick-thinking homeowner helped save his McNab-Braeside home from more serious damage in a late-night fire Nov. 6. McNab-Braeside fire chief Rob Dodge reported the homeowner at 160 Lamorie St. in the Sandy Hook area just west of Arnprior emptied a fire extinguisher into the attic after being awakened by a smoke detector. With that head start, the fire department was able to knock the fire down in about five minutes, he said. While the home sustained about $25,000 in damage, about $200,000 was saved from the fire by the quick work. Dodge said the McNab-Braeside Volunteer Fire Department received a call at 2:46 a.m. that the attic in the home was on fire. The smoke alarm had gone off, alerting the homeowner there was a fire. He came out of the bedroom to see a glow in the ceiling tiles, said the fire chief. He poked a hole in the ceiling with a broom handle and sprayed the fire with the fire extinguisher. “It was very quick thinking on his part,” said Dodge. Once they arrived, firefighters made short work of the blaze. The

department had to use only about 200 gallons of water to fight the fire, Dodge said. Seventeen firefighters from all three McNab-Braeside fire stations attended. “Considering it was hunting season, the turnout was really good,” noted Dodge. Also attending were Renfrew County paramedics, Renfrew OPP officers and Hydro One employees, who cut power to the home. Dodge said the fire had probably been smouldering for at least an hour before it set off the smoke alarm. The suspected cause of the blaze is electrical, as the homeowner had problems with the power earlier in the evening, he said. FIREFIGHTERS PRAISED McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell told council Tuesday that homeowner Randy Little and his family were impressed by the actions of the firefighters who attended the Lamorie Street fire. He praised them for keeping the fire from spreading to the attic, she said. The couple was particularly impressed that one of the firefighters took time to take the family’s photographs out of harm’s way. “They were touched by the care shown by the firefighters,” Campbell said.

Fire cause a mystery

M-B noise bylaw inadequate to deal with quarry noise JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Cracking down on the generators operating the temporary asphalt plant in the Braeside Quarry could affect other township operations and residents in a variety of ways, McNab-Braeside council was warned Tuesday. McNab-Braeside bylaw enforcement officer Jim McBain told council that under its current noise bylaw it would be difficult to charge the Miller Group without taking action against others, as the regulations don’t distinguish between industrial and other uses. He said he and CAO Noreen Mellema are researching ways to either modify or completely revamp the bylaw. In response to questions by Deputy Mayor Elmer Raycroft and Coun. Andy Dunlop, McBain agreed residents operating generators during the prohibited time at night could also be charged even if their regular power was out.

Raycroft said he has often used a generator at night for activities such as making maple syrup and loading grain. “You’d be in violation,” said McBain. “That’s why we need to change the bylaw.” The bylaw doesn’t even include an exemption for the fire department using generators to fight a fire, he noted. Raycroft suggested council should be encouraging the asphalt plant’s owner to house the generator to lower the noise rather than using a bylaw that will affect the fire department and “everyone else in the township.” “We are not trying to shut people down ... we’re trying to contain the noise,” said Mayor Mary Campbell said, agreeing regulations promoting muffling the noise could be a component of a new bylaw. Council can also encourage meetings between the company and residents concerned about the noise to work out a solution without charges or court time,

Highway project backed; noise exemption suggested A request from the Ministry of Transportation to have construction on the next phase of the fourlaning of Highway 17 exempted from the McNab-Braeside noise bylaw has sparked speculation the work will take place earlier than previously thought. Council had tabled a motion to exempt highway construction crews from the township’s noise bylaw to Tuesday’s meeting, but no action was taken as staff are still waiting for more information. If passed, the motion would see McNab-Braeside grant a noise bylaw exemption for the construction on Highway 17 from Division Street to west of

Scheel Drive. While the MTO hasn’t confirmed a construction time-line, the request indicates work on that section could start as early as next year. Mayor Mary Campbell noted Cavanagh Construction has received noise bylaw exemptions from Arnprior for some of its major bridge work. The company ensures nearby residents are informed when such work is going ahead, she said. “If we’re going to support the highway work as a priority, we need to let them do it (without noise restrictions),” said Deputy Mayor Elmer Raycroft. See MAKE Page 5

she said. The Ministry of Transportation could act as a catalyst for such an effort, she added. In the council question/comment period, Sean Moore, who lives near the quarry, said as it is now clear the noise comes from the generators rather than the plant itself, council should encourage the company to address the that problem. A large Ontario-wide company such as Millers should be able to come up with a way to muffle the noise, he said, adding it likely does so in some of its other operations. “Yet here they chose not to.” Moore said while one generator hums, the larger one sometimes sounds like an airplane taking off. Raycroft noted that if a perma-

nent asphalt plant is approved, the company will run electricity to it and will no longer need generators. “This should be resolved once the application (process) is completed,” he said. McBain reported he had taken noise readings in August at the request of council when the temporary asphalt plant was in operation. His day-time readings were similar to those taken by a Ministry of Environment official at the same time, he said. They found there was a constant drone or hum from the generator running the plant. However, the noise levels weren’t unusually high, he said. In any event, the plant closed the week after and it became a “non-issue” until it started back up in late October.

McBain said if the township is to lay a charge it would be ‘operating a generator at a prohibited time’. However, it could be quite expensive to prosecute and there are some loopholes that “might give us trouble in court,” he said. He said he is discussing a deal with a county prosecutor that could cut significantly the township’s costs to prosecute such cases as noise, property standards and animal control. He told council he should know within a month whether the change is possible. Mellema said McBain and staff will review other municipalities’ bylaws and examine possible changes to the process before coming up with a recommendation for council.

McNab-Braeside council has approved a new comprehensive zoning bylaw for the township with only Mayor Mary Campbell opposed. Council passed the bylaw on a 4-1 vote at its Nov. 2 meeting, more than three months after holding public meetings on the regulations that govern development and land use. Campbell said she voted against the bylaw for two reasons. She opposed the move to revert to the previous Environmental Protection (EP) zone boundaries, arguing they are based on out-of-date mapping inconsistent with that provided by the County and Ministry of Natural Resources. However, the rest of council agreed with returning to the EP boundaries in the previous bylaw after hearing about 20 prop-

support for the initiative first proposed by Renfrew County’s public works and engineering committee at a September meeting in McNab-Braeside. The motion asks the province to include four-lane funding for the extension of four lanes from Arnprior to Renfrew in its latest five-year plan.

Continued from Page 4 Council has endorsed a county resolution urging the province to make the extension of four lanes on Highway 17 from Arnprior to Renfrew a priority project. On Nov. 2, council approved a motion of

erty-owners complain about increased EP coverage in the updated mapping. The old boundaries have worked well for years, so why change them, councillors said. In the public question portion of the council meeting, Campbell assured resident Jon Swaine that the EP zone hasn’t changed from the previous bylaw. Campbell said she is also concerned the bylaw is too restrictive to business. It is more prescriptive in places, replacing the word ‘may’ with more specific restrictive language, she said. The bylaw is too limiting on home occupations and signage, she added. The new bylaw was updated to bring it in line with the official plan approved earlier this year. Anyone wishing to appeal the bylaw to the Ontario Municipal Board has until Dec. 1 to file an application.

Lunney takes rail battle to Parliament Hill DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Mississippi Mills Mayor Al Lunney will be taking the campaign to save the Ottawa Valley Railway line to the front doors of Parliament Hill next week. Lunney, recently appointed as the spokesperson for Lanark County on the railway issue, will hold a press conference on Parliament Hill on Friday, Nov. 26 at noon. “Can we please put this off for a year so we can get everyone around the table?” said Lunney of his main message to the federal and provincial governments, during the Town of Mississippi Mills council meeting on Nov. 15. “Canadian Pacific (CP), they refuse to talk to us,” said Lunney. “Probably on the first of April, the tracks will come up … these guys at CP, they’re just taking it (the tracks) out. It appears more and more and more that it is a done deal.” Earlier this month, the federal government passed on buying the line. The ball is now in the court of the provincial government. They have until Dec. 5 to announce if they will purchase the line. In Lunney’s latest round of his letter writing campaign to cabinet ministers, he has shifted his attention to members of Premier Dalton McGuinty’s cabinet, specifically, Transportation Minister Kathleen Wynne. Lunney also revealed that the county is considering holding a community meeting on the railway issue at the Almonte Old Town Hall. In earlier press releases and statements, Lunney and the county had estimated the value of the tracks at about $90 million. “No one knew how much it was worth,” said Lunney. New information provided to Lunney this week, however, showed that the rails were actually worth about $50 million. Ramsay Ward Coun. Jim Lowry pointed out that Nov. 7 marked the 125th anniversary of the driving of the last spike in the national railway line which linked Canada from east to west, and was one of the conditions of British Columbia entering confederation. “Sir John A. MacDonald was the prime minister (then). He happened to be a Conservative, and he talked for six hours and 40 minutes to get it,” said Lowry.

This service will offer a warm and thoughtful tribute to honour loved ones who have gone before us and remain close to our hearts. The service will feature seasonal music and a memorial message that we hope will provide comfort and peace. We would like to remember your loved one by reading his or her name aloud during the service.

# 3856 Isabella

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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A bad place for a good thing

Wandering dog should have been accepted

It was another well-attended Remembrance Day ceremony in Arnprior. It was a warm and sunny day. Students from St. Joseph’s Catholic School lined John Street to admire the parade. Kids from Pinecrest daycare even took time to make posters and stuck them against the exterior wall. Hundreds of people crowded around the cenotaph. Many men removed their hats and showed other signs of respect. Mothers gathered children in tow and brought them to the important event. It was also nice to see the current mayor and the mayor-elect in attendance, along with Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. But ... the time has come again to debate the merits of moving Arnprior’s cenotaph. Having that many people crowding the street in front of Arnprior District Memorial Hospital (ADMH) is not the best case scenario. That much most reasonable people will agree upon. If an ambulance is delayed in getting through for an emergency, no one at the Remembrance Day service would let it rest lightly on their conscience. The sound system is also turned inward, making it difficult for many to hear the ceremony, but the cenotaph doesn’t have to move to solve that problem. Then there is the parking. With veterans getting older, and many of those paying their respects getting on in years, it is important to have a parking lot near the cenotaph. Robert Simpson Park has a large parking lot, and plenty of open space to hold the ceremony. The town could donate a portion of the park to the Legion to be used for the service. However, it is our understanding that few members of the Legion would want to see the cenotaph moved, it having been in the same spot for so many years. For that reason, we aren’t advocating a move at this time. The most we are willing to say is that it is a matter of doing the right thing in the wrong place. Still, since this issue was first brought up a few years ago when the hospital was considering its expansion options, the location has proved problematic. Down the road the issue should be revisited. The only deal-breaker? The Legion shouldn’t lose out on the monetary front.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Local plants needed to keep drugs available To the editor: It was with great relief that I read your article on the Pillar5 plant. Why? Because on Friday afternoon my husband went to a walk-in clinic and was told by the doctor who treated him that there was no penicillin left in Ottawa. He was prescribed another antibiotic for the infection in his surgical incision and told if he started to run a fever he was to go immediately to emergency because he could be developing blood poisoning. Thank heavens there were other antibiotics for him! But it begs the question, why was there no penicillin? In the name of larger profits, have the large pharmaceutical companies outsourced so much of their manufacturing that it has left even the capital of Canada short of a common drug?

What other drugs are being manufactured in China or other countries in the Far East that we could be left short of and without their health benefits? I think that the public needs to be made more aware of this problem. And our politicians too. If we need to secure our source and delivery of drugs, we need to see more of it manufactured in Canadian factories like Pillar5. Yes, we might pay a little bit more for a prescription, but I, for one, would do that if it meant having the drug available when needed. K. McGlennon Arnprior

Write on: we love letters to the editor

To the editor: I am appalled by the refusal of the Arnprior Humane Society to accept the dog, Jake, after he was found wandering. Perhaps, he was not quite within their boundaries, but he was certainly a long way from Ottawa. This is the problem with humane societies – often their staff and sometimes their boards of directors are not what they should be. It is not always easy to get the calibre of staff you would prefer nor the directors on your board you would wish. Also, everyone becomes overworked and tired and makes mistakes. Nevertheless, I think not admitting Jake was disgraceful. All found animals should be admitted to humane shelters. Jake should have been taken in – his telephone number would have then been noted and he would have been all that more quickly reunited with his owners. The woman who picked up Jake was truly heaven sent and he can thank her for his life. On the subject of boards of directors, I sat on the board of a nearby animal welfare society a few years ago. It was a bad board with many members having ulterior motives other than the welfare of the animals. The majority wished to admit a person to the board who stated: “Give me a bull and I’m fine but I don’t like dogs.” This was a society whose work dealt primarily with cats and dogs. I vehemently fought her admission but was outnumbered. She became a director. The society quickly began going downhill and, as I had no influence. I resigned shortly thereafter. This is my point about bad boards of directors. Arnprior, overall, has a good board which works hard and, in addition, is a “no-kill” society. Not all humane societies are.

Potty-view not appealing To the editor: For the past year and a half, my ‘room with a view’ is the unobstructed view of the outdoor ‘porta-potty’. I am a stay-at-home great grandma and sitting in the dining area or back garden is not appealing. A request from a council member (twice) to move the above item has not been respected. I am all for progress in Arnprior, but ….!

Russ Corbett: allowed back in the Gillies Grove again.

Corbett’s Grove ban lifted To the editor: A little update to your Gillies Grove story of March 25, 2010. Welcome back Russell: A couple of weeks ago Doreen and I went for a walk through Arnprior’s old growth forest called Gillies Grove. It was a beautiful day. We met Russell Corbett in the grove. It made the day that much more enjoyable to see that he is no longer banned from the Gillies Grove. Russell did show us a letter from the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) lifting his ban. He is required to carry the letter if he walks through the Grove and show the letter if questioned about his presence in the wood. Russell, good to see you back in the forest that you and your family helped take care of for so many years. I’ve not seen many places where the trees stand so old, so tall, so strong. An admirer of the forest. Brian Wooster Kanata Editor’s note: Following the story referenced above, an editorial called for Corbett’s ban to be lifted after more than two years. Corbett and the NCC declined comment.

Runs raised $8,600 To the editor: Thanks to all who make our Terry Fox Run a great success. Our main town run raised $4,450. Three of our local public schools raised a whopping $4,153.43. A.J. Charbonneau raised $384, Walter Zadow $646.50 and McNab $3,122.93. What a wonderful effort by students, teachers and parents. Our combined total is $8,603.43. Our grand total from the first run to now is $277,770.59. Every penny of that amount went to the organization. Organizers must absorb any expenses. Of every dollar raised, only 10 cents is used to run the entire organization from coast to coast. See you at the track next year. Rita Cloutier, organizer site 061, Arnprior

pect that Jake was neither licensed nor microchipped – the Arnprior Humane Society holds a microchip clinic annually. Had he been, Arnprior or Ottawa could have identified him far more quickly. Thank heavens for the

telephone number on his collar. In closing – welcome home, Jake. I’m so glad you are safe. Maurine Snider Pakenham

CyberKnife a reality for cancer sufferers DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

A technology revolutionizing cancer treatment in Eastern Ontario was explained in detail during an Arnprior Rotary Club meeting Monday at Carleton Reid Hall on Harrington Street. CyberKnife is the world’s only robotic radio-surgery system, meaning it performs radiation therapy with the precision and effectiveness of surgery, but with few of the side effects. The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre is one of three providers in Canada, radiation oncologist Dr. Shawn Malone told the crowd of about 35. Patients began benefiting from the technology in September. “There have been dramatic improvements over the last two decades in radiation therapy,” Malone said. “We are getting referrals for CyberKnife from across Canada. There’s going to be a big demand for this.” Cyberknife uses a robotic arm with a laser to pinpoint tumors, timing its movement to the body’s natural movements to avoid harming surrounding tissue. It is especially effective against

applies to lung cancer, is the same at 80 to 90 per cent. With CyberKnife, patients are fitted with a custom mask before experiencing the out-patient treatment for 30- to 90-minutes. The hospital’s team spends much less time in the preparation and planning stages. Dr. Malone said patients with two or three tumours can have them treated at the same time. The recovery time is often just one week. CyberKnife cuts down the number of treatments from 25 to 40 sessions, to between one and five. “We are now the most equipped cancer centre in Canada,” Malone declared to much applause. Still at the research stage, Cyberknife was costly to bring here and requires significant ongoing funding to cover studies. But as director of cancer fundraising Sharon Cardiff explained, Eastern Ontario patients are enjoying priority and the research will benefit all Canadians. The wait list is only two to three weeks.

Unlike traditional DR. SHAWN MALONE radiation therapy, a patient doesn’t have their head frozen and experience the pain of a metal frame bolted to their head. They don’t spend hours enduring the procedure. They don’t take months to recover. They don’t repeat the process nearly as many times. And the success rate, at least as it

ADMH Auxiliary president Bernice O’Connor cuts the ribbon officially opening the hospital gift shop. Fellow volunteers Donna Smith, Willa Wright, Gladys Glofcheskie and Doreen Nicholas look on.

Gift shop reopened, volunteers needed

Arnprior District Memorial Hospital’s redevelopment project hit another milestone Friday with the opening of its renovated gift shop. The gift shop is in the same location as before, on the ground floor beside the diagnostic imaging department, but now it is larger and much brighter than before. The gift shop, full of beautiful and well-priced items, is completely run by volunteer members of the hospital auxiliary. The dedicated volunteers are valuable members of the ADMH corporation team and aside from donating profits to the Partner in Caring Foundation they also assist with direction and information to visitors. All visitors are invited to drop in and take a look. “You will be surprised at the great prices and will be supporting your hospital and nursing home with each purchase,” says ADMH in a release. The auxiliary is in immediate need of volunteers, especially for the gift shop, opportunity shop and sewing program. If you have a few hours to spare, the auxiliary could really use your help. For more information on this opportunity and others, call Nives MacLaren at 613-623-7962, ext.222.

CyberKnife campaign Continued from Page 10 “We wouldn’t have CyberKnife if it wasn’t for (the generous donations of) this community,” Cardiff said. “We no longer have to go to the U.S. for treatment. It may very well be we have to go back to the community for a second CyberKnife.” Arnprior Rotary president Dave Palmer said with one in three Canadians expected to develop cancer, donating to the technology may benefit the donor directly. “All of us are affected by cancer,” Palmer said. “This is a huge and wonderful advancement in cancer treatment. Please consider this as something you or someone you know may need some day.” The Ottawa Hospital Foundation is still short $550,000 in its latest effort, which wraps up in December. Anyone interested in a tour of the new CyberKnife facility on Nov. 30 is asked to call Cardiff at 613-761-4295.

The Arnprior District Memorial Hospital and Grove Nursing Home are hosting a Health and Wellness Fair Tuesday, Nov. 23. The fair, which runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Grove Nursing Home, is open to both public and staff of the nursing home and the hospital.

The goal of the organizers of the wellness fair is to increase awareness in health care offerings in the area and provide contacts to improve people’s accessibility to them. Most of the fair’s guests/ vendors are located in the Arnprior area, with some from the Royal Ottawa Hospital Health Care Group. There will be information booths on such topics at

heart health, fitness, mental health, nutrition and diet, and alternative and complementary therapies. The fair will also include draws for prizes such as gift cards and Ottawa Senators tickets. Co-ordinating the event are four Ottawa university/ Algonquin College nursing students along with ADHS/ Grove occupational health/ infection control co-ordina-

tor Angie MacKinnon. The official opening of the Employee Wellness Centre at the Grove will be held during the fair. The opening of the centre’s location at ADMH was held in June. Both initiatives tie in with the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario’s workplace health, safety and well-being best practice guidelines.

ADHS to host Seaway Bowl showdown Saturday Redmen defeat Kingston school in football semifinal JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

The Arnprior District High School Senior football team has earned the right to host the Seaway Bowl this Saturday, Nov. 20 by defeating the Kingston area champion. The Redmen will play Seaway champion Brockville Collegiate Institute Rams in the Eastern Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Association AA championship game on the ADHS field. Kick-off is at 1 p.m. ADHS, the Lanark-Renfrew County High School Football League senior champion, got off to a flying start Saturday in Kingston as they built up a 287 lead over the LaSalle Black Knights in the Eastern Ontario semifinal game. The stubborn Knights would not quit and came back with a vengeance in the second half, but Arnprior hung on for a 35-32 win. Al Luimes, who coaches the team along with David Herrick, reports Arnprior was in control

for most of the game and moved the ball consistently behind strong running game by fifthyear senior Jessie Andrews and rookies Ryan Kargus and Nathan Andrews. The strong running game opened up the passing game allowing quarterback Adam Rueckwald to hook up with receiver Mitch Bott to pull in a 45yard touchdown pass-and-run play. Luimes said untimely second-half turnovers and a rejuvenated Knights’ offence made the game close late, as LaSalle pulled back within three points with less than five minutes left to play. However, Arnprior’s offence took over after LaSalle’s final scoring drive and moved the ball from its own 25-yard line to deep in Knights territory, pinning them there until the final whistle to secure the victory. The win came three days after ADHS won their fourth LanarkRenfrew title with a 34-24 win over the previously undefeated Smiths Falls RedHawks. The playoff wins give the Red-

The Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association is urging local football fans to attend Saturday’s showdown in Arnprior. “Let’s get out and sup-

port our local team. Valley pride – go Redmen.” Meanwhile, in junior football action in Kingston Saturday, the Almonte Junior Thunderbolts defeated the Ernestown Eagles 37-16.

The Arnprior Junior Redmen finished the year with a 3-4 record. If not for two losses by default, the juniors would have made the playoffs. Files from Peter Clark

RUSHING REDMEN Two members of the Arnprior Redmen midget boys team competed at the Ontario high school (OFSAA) cross-country championship in Etobicoke. Rowan Morris and Grant Desjardins were among 235 runners in the five-kilometre event. Morris hit the finish line in 37th place with a time of 18:27.16 while Desjardins came in less than a minute later in 86th when he cracked the barrier in 19:11.46 seconds. From left are coach Tanya Box, Morris, Desjardins and coach Kate McKenna.

CONGRATS RUGBY CHAMPS The Arnprior District High School Senior Girls team celebrates winning the Renfrew County rugby championship Oct. 28 at Dochart Park in McNab-Braeside. The Redmen blanked the Bishop Smith Crusaders 110 in a hard-played title game. Arnprior racked up an impressive 269 points for and only 10 against during the regular season and playoffs. In the junior division, Arnprior won all four regular season games against Bishop Smith, the only other team in the league. Both teams advance to playoff action next spring. Photo by Nevil Hunt

V-ball playoffs On the volleyball court, the Arnprior District High School junior Redmen were upset 3-1 by the Madawaska Valley District Wolves in the Renfrew County semi-final at the ADHS gymnasium Nov. 11. The Bishop Smith Crusaders, which tied for ADHS for first in

the regular season with 7-1 records, won the county title 3-1 over Madawaska Valley. In boys senior action, the Redmen (4-4) were turned away 3-0 by the eventual Renfrew County champion General Panet Panthers (8-0) in Petawawa. Arnprior was then nipped 3-2 by Renfrew (6-2) in an AA EOSSAA qualifying match.

More trophies for Redmen girls basketball Continuing a tradition of outstanding basketball, the Arnprior District High School junior girls have claimed two more championships. The Redmen captured the Eastern Ontario junior girls basketball title for AA schools on their home court Tuesday. ADHS won three straight, including a 53-29 win in the finale over St. Thomas Aquinas. The team won its ninth Renfrew County junior girls title in 10 years with a 47-9 thumping of

the Opeongo Wildcats Nov. 11. In semi-final action two days prior, ADHS had demolished RCI 4211. The Redmen, coached by Joe Lavoie and Sarah Spratt, finished the regular season at 9-0, while Opeongo had an 8-1 record. Overall, the team finished with a 31-3 record and five tournament championships. Meanwhile, the Senior Redmen’s run of five straight Renfrew County girls hoops championships was stopped by the

Renfrew Collegiate Raiders last week. RCI pulled off an amazing second-half comeback. The Redmen led 26-13 at half time before being held to three points in the second half. The Renfrew school pulled off a 34-29 victory. Terri-Lynn Herrick led Redmen scorers with 17 points. The Redmen had defeated St. Joseph’s 44-37 in the semi-final Nov. 9. All three teams – ADHS, RCI and St. Joseph’s – had 8-1 records in the regular season.

PETER CLARK

Eady will take over wearing the captain’s C. The Packers have also added veteran goalpeter.clark@metroland.com tender Jeff Stout to bridge the gap and lend The Arnprior Packers paired some experience until German Tsatsura reup against one of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s best on the weekend, and came away with two welcomed points. After dropping a 6-2 decision to the Metro-Valley Conferenceleading Clarence Creek Beavers at the Nick Smith Centre Friday night, the Packers gave back some of their own medicine in the Beavers’ back yard Sunday afternoon, skating off with a 3-1 victory. The loss was just the second in regular time in the 2010-11 season for Clarence Creek while the Packers improved their secondplace standing in the Valley loop to 11-6-and-2. The Packers took the game’s first five penalties in enemy ice Sunday, but that didn’t deter their focus as goals from Casey Doner and Colin Bradbury five minutes apart gave Arnprior a 2-0 lead through one period. After surrendering a Clarence power-play marker late in the middle frame, the Packers answered with the lone goal of the final stanza when Taylor Collins beat Creek netminder Gianmarco De Meis with 10:27 remaining. The goal was the 17th of the season for Collins. Matt Gagne kicked aside 30 of 31 shots to register the goalkeeping victory. The Beavers broke open a 2-2 deadlock with three middle-period markers, and then added a final insurance tally in the third period en route to Friday night’s 6-2 victory. Stephen Bayliss early in the first period, and Teddy Suckow 1:04 into the second, accounted for the Packers offence. Jeff Stout, formerly of the Carleton Place Legion Kings and more recently the Almonte Thunder, faced 34 Clarence Creek shots in the Arnprior goal-crease. The feisty contest eclipsed the 100-minute mark in penalties and included three fights in the latter half of the contest. Packers coach and general manager Bill Griese said Sunday’s triumph was solid from start to finish. “It was good to win in their barn. It was one of our better games of the season. There was no panic,” the coach said. “We played well Friday night also. We just couldn’t bury our chances.” Griese said the play of defenceman Mitch Melanson was the difference in Sunday’s win. PACKERS TRADE The Packers dealt left winger/ captain David Nelson and centre Drake Clancy to the Stittsville Royals for left-winger Mike Byrne.Griese said it’s tough to make a trade involving the club’s No. 2 scorer, but the coach said that’s how much confidence he has in his 16 and 17-year-olds. “Your top nine forwards, you have to get them some ice,” Griese added. The trade means Ryan

turns from injury in December. Stout would have been available only until January when he leaves to go to school in Boston. The Packers head for the Quebec side this

Friday for a tangle with the Pontiac Juniors. Game time in Shawville is 8 p.m. The pesky Almonte Thunder visit the Nick Smith Centre Sunday at 7:30 p.m.

Arnprior Club plays host to 24 curlers from Scotland CHRISTINE MCCALLUM Arnprior Curling Club

The Arnprior Curling Club played host to 24 curlers from Scotland Saturday. The visitors spent 11 days touring the Ottawa valley, playing at quite a few curling clubs along the way. The Granite Club in Ottawa played hosts to the curlers driving them around to all the curling clubs. The day in Arnprior started off with coffee and treats and lots of mingling. Then Isobel Munro, a long-time curler at the Arnprior Curling Club, made a moving speech welcoming the Scots to the curling club and giving a little history of Arnprior as well.

ers with 16 playing the first four ends against the Scots and the other 16 playing the last four ends, while the Scottish teams played all eight ends. In the end it was a tie. Arnprior took two games and so did the Scottish teams. After the game, the curlers sat down to a terrific lunch prepared by Barb Redmond and some of her volunteers. Many thanks go out to them. After lunch there were speeches by club president, Russell Oatman, who organized the whole event, as well as the town’s new mayor-elect David Reid. A representative from the Scottish delegation thanked us for our hospitality and presented a number of gifts as well as a banner signifying their visit. At the end of the speeches, the Scottish delegation sang for us before leaving (see photo Page 15). Everyone had a terrific time. The Scottish curlers were then

Quebec’s upset 8-3 win over previously undefeated Manitoba gave the Ontarians a share of first. On Monday Ontario came up with two close victories, edging Northwest Territories/Yukon 7-5 in the morning and Newfoundland/Labrador 8-6 in the evening draw. Ontario’s only loss so far came Sunday, 6-2 to Manitoba following a 9-4 first-draw win over Quebec.

The Arnprior Atom Packers took to the ice at the Regional Silver Stick hockey tournament in Pembroke last weekend.

The local squad handled the Loyalist Jets 5-1, Clarence Creek Beavers 6-1 and Smiths Falls Bears 4-3 before the goalscoring bug hit a snag in the Packersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 4-1 loss to the Ottawa West Golden Knights in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterfinal. Jesse Dick led the

Arnprior attack with a seven-goal performance that included two hat tricks. Cory Kippen and Chad Cherry added two goals apiece. Singles came from Carter Smith, Nicholas Ross, Will Clarke, Kolby Lister and Spencer King.

Brayden Prince and Jacob Wilson looked after goaltending chores for the Arnprior atoms. The Arnprior Peewee Packers are in Pembroke this weekend for the Silver Stick.

Youth, men’s teams take to the ice for annual fundraiser SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

The It Shouldn’t Hurt to be a Child hockey tournament has raised more than $200,000 in 25 years in support of kids, so it’s fitting that this year’s anniversary event is centred around young people. The men’s tournament at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior this Friday and Saturday (Nov. 19-20) will kick off with and feature several youth exhibition games. Organizer Dave McCormick, who started the event 25 years ago, said he certainly never expected his “little men’s hockey tournament” would cele-

brate its 25th birthday and be as strong as ever. From sponsors and donors to players and family members, the support for the event, which raises funds for Victims of Violence, is overwhelming, year after year, says McCormick. “It’s amazing,” he says. “Kudos to the people of Arnprior.” The event continues to draw people from across the Ottawa Valley and beyond and everyone has been very supportive. “Even as tough as it’s been economically, people have continued to give,” says McCormick. Sponsors, which include large companies as well

as small local businesses, have been quick to get involved year after year. Many of the teams have been coming for years and the guys are happy to get back together for a fun weekend and some time on the ice. FRIDAY NIGHT The tournament includes Friday evening entertainment by local favourites Catalyst. The music and dance, as well as the games, are open to the public, so McCormick hopes to see the rink and community hall fill up this Friday and Saturday. “We’d like to see as many townspeople come

out as possible,” he says. The tournament has not always raised funds for Victims of Violence, but McCormick says as soon as he heard about the charity and creators Gary and Sharon Rosenfeldt, he wanted to do what he could to help. His introduction to the organization, a federally registered charity that provides support and guidance to victims of violent crime and conduct research on issues affecting victims, came by way of a

phone call for a cookbook fundraiser for VOV. “I didn’t want the cookbook, but there was a way I could help,” he says. His relationship with the Rosenfeldts cemented his commitment to the charity. “That’s when it rally became more than just a hockey tournament,” says

McCormick. “The rest is history, I guess.” Gary recently passed away, and Sharon will drop the puck at Friday evening’s opening game. It’s a special honour to have Sharon attending, says McCormick. See ‘25 years’ Page 20

Workshops promote children’s emotional development als beginning Jan. 12 for four Wednesdays. This course will consider the work of leading Canadian psychologist and child development expert, Dr. Gordon

their emotional world, perhaps struggling when faced with frustration, anger, sadness, worry, anxiety, upset, jealousy, resentment and more. “A child’s inner emotional world is very much a factor of normal human life. It’s important to understand the relevance of making space for emotions, and supporting a child to workthrough and grow to understand and manage difficult emotions. The first workshop, Parenting with Attachment and Relationship in Mind, is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 1 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. It will be a chance to take a look at how attachment unfolds with children, as well as offer insight and perhaps inspiration to cultivate deep relationship with a child while also balancing a vital role as parent. The second workshop, which centres on adolescence, will take place Dec. 4. It is called Making Sense of Adolescence. Understanding the pivotal, incredible psychological and emotional changes unfolding during this place of development can significantly help parents to feel reassured with the changes unfolding in front of them. Lastly, Denis-Friske will offer a four-part evening course called Power to Parent: Understanding Attachment, open to both parents and profession-

Darlene Denis-Friske of The Arnprior Child and Youth Counselling Centre is offering two parenting workshops in early December and a course in January. The sessions will focus on cultivating a deeper understanding of human attachment, and supporting the healthy emotional growth and maturation of children. These are areas Denis-Friske says are absolutely vital in supporting children’s resilience and ability to adapt to adverse circumstances in their lives. “Emotional maturation is a very important piece of the developmental puzzle and needs to be balanced into how we support our child,” she said. “As parents we pay close attention to the many realms of child development. For example, we think about our child’s social, cognitive, behavioral, intellectual, academic, and physical development. “A child’s emotional growth is often not considered to the same degree but interestingly, healthy emotional development provides a large part of the very foundation that helps to further a child’s ability to mature in all other areas of their life.” As an example, Denis-Friske points to the child who seems to do well in other areas, but struggles greatly in dealing with

Nicolas Ruszkowski

Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital

Drawing from ﬂight simulation techniques, students use virtual reality technology; fullbody mannequins with voices, lung capacity, beating hearts and pulses; and life-size replicas of individual body parts to practice leading edge medical procedures.

My great-grandfather, Dr. Jan Ruszkowski was an eye surgeon and professor of medicine.

As a result, the quality and safety of patient care they will one day provide is increased.

In his day, the only way to realistically simulate surgery was with dead bodies. This provided him with the basis for a strong education, and a way to test a future physician’s nerves.

Practice, however, does not always make perfect. The real challenge in hospital care is not to conduct one procedure with perfection, but to replicate the perfect procedure, every time.

His favourite trick with new students was to simulate inserting his ﬁnger into a body’s eye socket, then wait for somebody in his class to get faint and, occasionally, pass out. Thankfully, medical education has evolved since then. Last month, Dr. Jack Kitts, CEO of The Ottawa Hospital, Allan Rock, President of the University of Ottawa and Dr. Verin Naik, Medical Director of the University of Ottawa Skills and Simulation Centre (uOSSC, www. uossc.ca) opened a simulation centre at the Civic Campus of The Ottawa Hospital. The 20,000 square foot facility includes two operating rooms, an emergency room/trauma

• Let’s Talk Parenting: Drop in at the Early Years Centre in the Kenwood Centre at 6:30 p.m. for an informal discussion group on various topics that parents can bring to the table. The goal is to provide a safe and comfortable place to share and an atmosphere to offer support to others, so you will be able gain information that will help you to be better prepared to handle challenges of parenting.

• December Dinners Club presented by Arnprior-Braeside-Mcnab Seniors at home. Jim’s Restaurant dining room from 5 to 7 p.m. Roast beef $12 a person, Tickets available at 106 McGonigal St. until Nov. 30 at noon.

DECEMBER 4 • All children are welcome to come to Calvary Baptist Church, 156 Landrigan St. 9 a.m. to 12 noon for a Children’s Christmas Shoppe. Bring your parents to enjoy a coffee while you shop. All gifts are from 25 cents to a $1. Proceeds will go to Neighbourlink/Fountain. For more information, call 613-623-4863. • Gigantic Christmas bake sale 11 a.m.-1 p.m., St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 80 Daniel St. One-stop Christmas baking.

DECEMBER 5 • Harps for the Holidays, featuring the Ottawa Youth Harp Ensemble under direction of Mary Muckle with guest flutist Kristen Carlson. 2 p.m, St. Andrew’s United Church, Pakenham. Concert followed by afternoon tea. Adults $15, children 12 & under $7. Call 613-624-5540 for more information.

That is why, in addition to using current simulation tools, the centre will test new approaches and adopt them immediately when there is evidence of their effectiveness. That is a recipe for continuous progress in medical education, quality, and patient safety. While this progress takes the edge off of my great-grandfather’s teaching techniques, it puts a great deal more comfort into our patients’ experience. The next time you see a young resident in their scrubs, you can trust you are in good hands.

A woman was airlifted to the Ottawa Hospital Civic campus with unknown injuries after she was involved in a single motor vehicle crash on White Lake Road near Mountainview Road. Renfrew OPP and the McNab Fire Department responded to the scene around 8 a.m. Nov. 8. Above, traffic lines up on White Lake Road. Road conditions were blamed for the crash and police remind drivers to be vigilant as more extreme weather approaches. port a local victim has been duped out of more than $1,000 after responding to a request for funds to release an inheritance from a bank in Nigeria. The victim believed the fraudster when they were told there was a $50,000 inheritance awaiting them and to access it they had to pay the bank for paperwork to be completed. The OPP warns the public this is a scam. “If you are

contacted by e-mail, phone, or through the mail about an inheritance in a bank in another country that you knew nothing about, it is likely a scam. “Do not respond to these requests for money.” LIQUOR CHARGE A 23-year-old Arnprior man has been charged with having open alcohol in a public place, report Renfrew OPP.

The OPP warns drivers that it will soon be the season for Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) spot checks. The roadblocks will soon be seen frequently in the local area, as OPP officers use them as an effective tool to reduce highway fatalities and injuries. During the Christmas holiday season, there are traditionally more parties and celebrating where alcohol is served. If you are a driver attending one of these celebrations, please abstain or reduce your alcohol intake, urges the OPP. “Driving in Ontario is a privilege that comes with much responsibility, most importantly to drive sober.” Expect to see OPP officers at RIDE spot checks until Jan. 1 frequently and in unexpected areas, warn police. “If you are driving sober you have nothing to worry about.”

In her October column, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant focuses on government efforts to “fix a criminal justice system that seems to favour criminals over the rights of victims.” The decision to charge a shop owner for apprehending a shoplifter is a prime example why change is necessary and overdue, she says. In the upcoming weeks, attention will be given on passing legislation that will give police and prosecutors the tools they need to keep dangerous criminals off streets, she says.

A homeowner long-worried about a beaver dam should take it up with the Ministry of Natural Resources, advises McNab-Braeside council. Council agreed the township can’t remove the beaver dam on Jed Creek on the Reid property just west of Arnprior because it is on private property. However, the woman living next door is worried about an eventual flood of her land and others nearby. With winter setting in, next spring’s runoff could pose a safety hazard, said Deputy Mayor Elmer Raycroft. Coun. Andy Dunlop raised the issue at the Nov. 2 meeting, asking if staff had made any progress in helping address the issue. “It’s been quite a while and I don’t want to see a lake in her yard,” Dunlop said. “If something happens to one child this township’s going to have a lot of problems.” Township CAO Noreen Mellema said that an MNR contact name and number has been provided to the property-owner. It appears that while the dam is still intact, the beaver seems to have disappeared. With files from John Carter

For maples, keys are the key to success

When love is not enough STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Life will never be the same for Susan Love. Her only child was murdered in Halifax three years ago. One man is already serving a life sentence for second-degree murder, while another man still faces charges related to the January 2007 death of Phillip Love, 34, formerly of Arnprior. Some days, Love can barely find the words to express what it means to be without her child. She is consoled by the fact several of his organs were donated, including his heart to save a New Brunswick man’s life. But that’s not nearly enough. Nothing ever will be, says Love. But something has happened in the last year that should help with the healing of her heart, and the heart of many others whose child has been murdered. At least, that’s a major goal of the new website just completed by the Canadian Parents of Murdered Children. POMC’s executive members include Love. Other founding members are chairman Yvonne Harvey and husband Gary Lindfield of Carleton Place, whose only child, 28year-old Chrissy, was also murdered in January 2007. One of the board’s small core of advisors is Sharon Rosenfeldt, whose son was killed by serial killer Clifford Olsen. The new website is http:\\ cpomc.ca, where numerous links can be found. Examples are information on the birth of CPOMC, guidelines for support meetings, profiles of CPOMC board members, and survivor support information in such categories as: How Do We Grieve?, Sharing With Others, and Problems Commonly Experienced by Survivors of Homicide Victims. There’s also a list of more than 50 recommended readings, Canadian parents’ stories of their murdered children, as well as an online forum of sharing, caring and hope. The forum’s more than 30 categories include grandparents grief, spousal grief, getting through the holidays, coping with anniversaries and birthdays, dealing with guilt, courtroom experiences, plea bargaining, surviving the first year, and a place for grieving children to talk to other children. As the website points out: “It is impossible to expect anyone, who has not been directly impacted by the act of murder to understand the enormous grief, the immense anger, and the depth of hopelessness that those of us feel who have experienced such a life-changing, traumatic event.” “Oh, if I had this (website) the first year (after Phillip’s death),” said Love. “I had no one to talk to who knew the horror I was going through. There were many days I thought I was going crazy and I

Butler bringing offensive punch to B-Sens

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Bobby Butler takes pride in his play at both ends of the ice. But there’s one thing in particular about him that opened the Ottawa Senators’ eyes last spring. And already, the 23-year-old native of Marlborough, Mass., is showing plenty of it for the Binghamton Senators. When the Senators signed Butler as a college free agent, he came to the organization heralded as the leading goal scorer (29) in NCAA Division I hockey for the New Hampshire Wildcats. Now the American Hockey League is seeing that touch around the net. During the weekend of Nov. 5-7, the 6-0, 180-pound forward racked up seven points in three games, including a hat trick in a 5-0 triumph over the Syracuse Crunch. That followed another three-point effort (one goal, two assists) in a 7-3 whipping of the Adirondack Phantoms. With 10 goals and 15 points in his ﬁrst 13 games this season, Butler ranked No. 2 among all AHL rookies in both categories. Clearly, he’s adjusting quickly to the minor pro game. “Bobby’s been very good,” said Senators assistant general manager Tim Murray, who oversees the organization’s top afﬁliate in Binghamton. “The

coaches are real happy with him. He’s got very good stats for a first-year guy. He’s a little older than some of the guys, but he’s still a first-year player and he’s showing his pedigree. He’s a top prospect and we do expect him to play that way.” Butler made a strong push to make the big club during training camp, but the numbers game didn’t play out right for him. But Binghamton head coach Kurt Kleinendorst sees a player who is NHL ready in a lot of ways already. “Bobby was close when he left (training camp),” said Kleinendorst. “In fact, Bobby’s probably the kind of player that, under the right circumstances, could be playing in the NHL right now. But I will say there’s a beneift to what he’s experiencing right now in the American league. He gets to play in all situations. He’s playing on the power play, he’s playing penalty kill, he’s doing 5-on-5. “He’s playing 18, 20, 22 minutes a night and getting used in all situations. And he’s learning how to play the game and be responsible defensively. He can hone his craft in the American league that when he comes up here, he’s more prepared to stay.” All of that is fine with Butler, who considered himself adept at both ends of the ice during his years at New Hampshire, where he was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award last season as the top player in U.S. college hockey. “In my four years there, I always thought I was sound in the defensive zone,” he said. “That was one of the biggest parts (of the game) that the coach didn’t have to worry about with me, being able to put me in all situations. It’s a little different and everything’s faster (in the AHL), but that was one of the good parts of my game, the defensive zone. And you generate offence from good defence.” Still, Butler knows that it’s his nose for the net that is the key to eventually earning full-time employment with the big club. “It’s been pretty good,” he said of his start in Binghamton. “I feel good out there and I’m getting some chances. The more chances I get, the better it’s going (for me). Right now, so far, so good.” He senses improvement in his overall game with each passing week.

“We’re learning something new every day and the coach tries to instill something new in us every practice,” said Butler. “Every week, I’ve learned something new and I try to put it into my game, whether it’s individually or for the whole team.” Butler and the BSens are headed to Scotiabank Place on Nov. 26, when they’ll face off against the Hamilton Bulldogs, the top afﬁliate of the Montreal Canadiens. The two teams played Nov. 6 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, with the Bulldogs earning a 5-2 victory.

The youthful Kings have already served notice they intend to be among the elite teams in the Western Conference, charging out to an impressive start in the season’s ﬁrst month. Jonathan Quick’s stellar play has been front and centre in that early success, with his performance so far rating among the NHL’s best. The defence is anchored by Drew Doughty, already considered Norris Trophy material in just his third season, and Jack Johnson. Up front, Los Angeles follows the lead of Anze Kopitar, Justin Williams and Jarret Stoll, while captain Dustin Brown and veteran Ryan Smyth supply an abundance of grit.
