WHAT A PARADE The Arnprior Santa Claus Parade, sponsored by Legion Branch 174, was a big hit with visitors young and old. The evening event featured more than 40 floats from in and around the area.

IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE CHRISTMAS Among the many Christmas events coming up in the next week are the Arnprior District Hospital’s tree-lighting ceremony this Friday, Dec. 3 at 6 p.m. and the St. John Chrysostom Catholic Church’s presentation of Handel’s Messiah this Sunday, Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. There are also a large number of other festive events planned for the area, including at least two breakfasts with Santa Saturday morning in Arnprior. 25
Arnprior Mayor David Reid’s inaugural address last night (Wednesday) before family, friends and citizens at the Nick Smith Centre focused on improving communication and supporting business while balancing social and environment needs. Reid began by congratulating Arnprior voters for an Ontariohigh voter turnout, 65 per cent, also a town record. He thanked the outgoing council, specifically Terry Gibeau, Tom Peckett, Nancy Black, Jack Lammert and Eric Burton, who together have dedicated more than 60 years of service to the town.
“Thank you so much, and on behalf of all the new council, I promise you that we will work as hard and continue your efforts to make Arnprior, the best it can possibly be,” Reid said. He then stated “our” vision for change and the future: • “Change means opening up better lines of communications; • “It means everybody knowing their responsibilities and ensuring they have the resources to properly carry them out; • “It means trying to look at ways to streamline the processes and become more efficient; • “It means inviting the public into the decision-making process; See ‘NEW MAYOR’ Page 3
Don’t let the Grinch steal Christmas With the Christmas shopping season upon us, Arnprior OPP are urging shoppers not to let thieves ruin their Christmas. And a woman who lost some valuable keepsakes in a theft is hoping the culprit will have an attack of conscience. The OPP are advising people to secure purchases in their vehicles’ trunks. Keeping gifts out
of sight of criminals will make for a happier season for you and your loved ones and a not-solucrative season for would-be thieves, say the OPP. “Also please keep your vehicles locked and remember not to leave your keys in running or unattended vehicles.” See ‘THEFT’ Page 3

Theft of gifts from dead husband devastates woman
3 December 2 2010 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE
Continued from front Arnprior officers have been responding to numerous thefts from vehicles in recent weeks and remind motorists to remove valuables from view and to lock their vehicles. Anyone with information regarding these thefts is encouraged to contact Arnprior OPP or CrimeStoppers. BRING BACK THE RINGS One of the recent thefts from vehicles involved the stealing of several jewelry items that have special significance for the owner. The theft of an engagement ring and wedding band were particularly devastating to the woman, as they are important memories of a dead husband. The rings were among several items in a black purse taken from a vehicle in the McLachlin Street area a couple of weeks ago. The thieves also took a 14K gold emerald birthstone ring. Anyone with information about the rings is urged to call 613-623-9537 or drop them off, no questions asked, at the Chronicle-Guide office, 8 McGonigal St.
New mayor promises change Continued from front • “It means forming relationships with our local businesses, developers, industries and institutions. Because if they succeed … we all succeed; • “It means, clearly defining our goals and working hard every day, to try to achieve them; • “Change is not always physical. Change is outlook. It is attitude. Change is a breath of fresh air.” Arnprior celebrates its 150 birthday in 2012. Reid would like to celebrate those in the past and present who have helped shape the town. “Together we are going to make the commitment to continue what was started nearly 150 years ago,” he said, “to make Arnprior the best place in the world to call home.”

The White Lake Road span for the Highway 17 overpass was put into place late last week. Traffic was temporarily re-routed through Arnprior on a couple of occasions to allow for the moving of the major pieces into place. Work is progressing rapidly on the four-laning of Highway 417 through Arnprior to Campbell Drive with the overpasses and the twin bridge across the Madawaska River expected to be completed next fall.

River water stops for bridge work
Ontario Power Generation (OPG) co-operated with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to carry out a “noflow” request on the Madawaska River below the Arnprior Generating Station for almost 24 hours Monday. Holding back the river accommodated the bridge work taking place on Highway 17 in Arnprior. During that time OPG did not spill water or generate power from Arnprior Generating Station while an enormous section of the bridge was hoisted in the tailrace area. The contractors required ideal weather conditions to carry out the operation. In the past three years OPG has developed a partnership with MTO to plan this work. OPG has already undertaken a number of “no-flow” requests to accommodate the bridge work currently underway. The work has had an impact on OPG operations. “Noflow” means OPG holds back the water in the Madawaska River to allow the contractors to work safely at key points during the installation process. OPG and MTO have worked together on surveying, rock removal, depth sounding and accommodating the size of the barge and girders for the bridge. OPG’s Arnprior station is located at the job site and its safety booms were relocated and re-anchored and some security fencing moved. Roadways were altered to meet the space constraint contractors faced when they brought in the barge and massive beams for the project.
OPG has co-operated with MTO, the Ministry of Natural Resources, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the Town of Arnprior on the unique project to ensure worker and public safety around its facilities, on the job site and surrounding waterways.

FLAG RETURNS The Arnprior flag that has flown at the Canadian base entrance in Kandahar was returned to the town Nov. 29 by Corp. Matt Pieroway. Mayor Terry Gibeau, whose term on council has done much to celebrate contributions by Canadian soldiers, accepted the flag with a laugh about the dust it collected in the desert city. Then, on a serious note, he said: “What you do makes what we do possible.” Photo by Derek Dunn
Departing councillors bid farewell john.carter@metroland.com
Outgoing McNab-Braeside councillors Jim McGregor and Andy Dunlop had some parting advice for the new council at their last meeting Nov. 16. Dunlop urged council to see if it is feasible to allocate some of the provincial gas tax money going to the Renfrew-based Sunshine Coach to the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home transportation program. McGregor suggested any surplus funds in the heritage budget be put into reserves to fund future work at the Waba Museum property in White Lake. He said some of the proposed upgrading was not done this year, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t necessary. There is dryrot and pest problems that need to be addressed, he said. Dunlop, who had raised the transportation funding issue earlier in the year, asked council and staff to continue to check to see if the township can spread the gas tax money around. While the Sunshine Coach is a worthy recipient for funding, the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab program provides an “excellent service,” both in transportation and distributing meals on wheels for seniors in the township, he said. The drivers for the program do a good job, but have been cut back because of money shortages, Dunlop added. He suggested that while the township has a contract to pass the tax on to the Sunshine Coach for the next couple of years, the township should look into the deal to see if it is ironclad. Deputy Mayor Elmer Raycroft pointed out that when the deal was made to hand over the provincial gas tax to the Sunshine
Coach, the Arnprior-BraesideMcNab Seniors at Home program didn’t have a transportation program. Now that it does, it makes sense to revisit the issue, he said.

MANY CHANGES In his final remarks at the end of the meeting, McGregor noted there has been many changes in the role of a councillor since he was first elected 25 years ago. He admitted he was surprised at how time-consuming the job is. “It’s a big responsibility,” he said. “And it’s a great honour to be elected.” Meanwhile, Mayor Mary Campbell praised the outgoing councillors for their contributions at the McNab-Braeside service award gathering two evenings later. “I don’t think you realize how much this community cares about you,” she told Dunlop. “I’ve found there is an incredible respect and affection for you and Betty (his wife).” Dunlop said said he appreciated the efforts of the “super” staff. His fellow outgoing councillors, Jim McGregor and Elmer Raycroft, “taught me a lot,” he added. Campbell also applauded McGregor for his more than 20 years of municipal service, successfully done while being active in his community, church, family and business. McGregor thanked his wife for enabling him to contribute. He also praised the township staff, who he called “a great bunch.” The last four years have been a little tougher, he said. “We didn’t see eye-to-eye all the time, but that’s okay, you don’t want everyone to agree all the time … it means you’re not thinking.”

Arnprior council heard results from a study into development charges and opted to keep construction fees as is. Gary Scandlan of Watson and Associates – which produces for municipalities about one half of Ontario’s development charge studies – said Arnprior is at about the middle of the pack of nearby municipalities and ought to stay there. “We’re recommending less than half of what we could recover under the (Development Charges) Act,” Scandlan explained, adding the money is strictly to recover capital costs associated with growth. The capital costs are in addition to things such as internal subdivision roads, sewers, watermains and sidewalks. The development charge for
to $6,000. It could go slightly higher depending on adjustments in the construction price index. The cost stays in place until 2015. Reeve Walter Stack, one of two members of the old and new council, is pleased with the results of the almost $20,000 study. “I’m happy we renewed it, and we’ll review it again in 12 months (without additional cost),” Stack said. “We’re really close to maxing out the amount.” He added that builders’ costs are passed on to customers, who may be less inclined to move to Arnprior if costs are prohibitive. Local developers have long complained about value for money when dealing with town hall. Several towns, including Renfrew and Perth, charge more, but Carleton Place fees are less than Arnprior.

Sullivan’s among backers for Expo 150 celebrations steve.newman@metroland.com
Corporate sponsors are getting behind the County of Renfrew’s 150th-anniversary celebrations next June. Several sponsors were on hand Nov. 24 at the county headquarters in Pembroke to be thanked and recognized by county officials and other members of the Expo 150 organizing committee. The county has already contributed $200,000 for the June 9 to 12 event that will be held at the Pembroke airport. And more than $200,000 could be realized through corporate sponsorship, says public works director Dave Darch, who is chairing Expo 150’s corporate sponsorship program. “I guess I’d like to see about $225,000,� said Darch. “The funding is important because of the scope of the program. What we’re putting on is going to require both the county money and the support of the business community.� Corporate sponsors are recognized by the financial extent of their contributions. Diamond sponsorship is for $25,000 or more, while the next levels are platinum ($15,000), gold ($10,000), silver ($5,000) and bronze ($2,000).
DIAMOND SPONSORS To date, diamond sponsors for Expo 150, are the Renfrew County branches of the Bank of Montreal, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited of Chalk River, and Eastway Contracting of Pembroke. Other major sponsors include M. Sullivan & Son of Arnprior that also made a recent $100,000 philanthropic contribution as part of its successful bid to build the new auditorium at Bonnechere Manor. Rick Sullivan was on hand to accept thanks, and a certificate of appreciation, for the Arnprior firm’s silver sponsorship of Expo 150. Other sponsors include Bonnechere Excavating, a bronze sponsor from Renfrew. PLATINUM SPONSORS Platinum sponsors, to date, are Jp2g Consultants and Lapointe’s Auto Group. The latter, whose businesses include Renfrew Chrysler, has signed on as official sponsor for Expo 150’s Renfrew County Idol event. Silver sponsors are Buske Office Equipment, Eastway Collision and Greenwood Paving. Eastway Contracting is a diamond sponsor and Ontario Power Generation is a gold sponsor.

No time to be petulant
Onus on pet owners
Sound the alarm. The dog and cat population in Arnprior is skyrocketing. Wait a minute. What is really rising rapidly is the number of dogs and cats registered in town. Town clerk Jacquie Farrow-Lawrence presented a report to council Nov. 22 that shows there were 496 dogs and 148 cats registered in Arnprior in 2010. That compares to 85 dogs and 13 cats in 2009. “That the dog population is up more than 400 is incredible,” quipped Mayor Terry Gibeau. The difference, of course, is that the town’s municipal law enforcement services conducted a proactive dog and cat registration program in town between June 16 and Oct. 31 this year. Last year, dog and cat owners bought licences on the honour system. There is obviously not honour among all pet owners, many of whom obviously feel it is a right, not a privilege to have Rover or Fluffy as part of their family. That’s particularly the case with the seven dog-owners and one cat-owner in Arnprior who are refusing to pay the town’s registration fee. The town is sending them a warning in the hopes of avoiding legal action to get them to licence their pets. Pet lovers are a funny bunch. Most truly love their pets and a story about an animal being mistreated tends to draw much more outrage than one about a human suffering the same indignity. Yet many don’t neuter their pets, leading to overflowing humane society shelters and the suffering that inevitably follows. And too many don’t clean up after their pets, then wonder they aren’t popular around town. There haven’t been enough responsible pet-owners in town, but hopefully the increased number of licences means an improvement in that regard. Town hall is hoping to keep the dog registration numbers up close to 500 without having to repeat the comprehensive door-to-door program every year. They will try reminder letters and advertisements early in 2011. If pet owners want to prove they are responsible without haven’t to be hassled on the doorstep, they better respond and voluntarily get their pets licensed. If the numbers aren’t close to 500 next year, the enforcers will be back on the streets. After all, no one at town hall is likely to believe ever again that there are only 85 dogs and 13 cats in Arnprior.

To the editor: Re: Dog should have been accepted (Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, Nov. 18). I have volunteered with the Arnprior Humane Society for many years and a more dedicated, caring, effective board of directors and staff you could not find. It is very misguided to think that all found animals should be admitted to humane societies. The policies of the Arnprior shelter work well and the staff do not need re-training. As difficult as it is, some animals will be turned away, and that is unfortunate, but the onus should be on responsible ownership not on bashing the people who work so hard to look after those in their care. I congratulate and thank the Arnprior Humane Society for their good work and hope they will continue for many years to come. Shirley Dolan Woodlawn

time to assist in locating and cutting a tree and hanging the lights. Special thanks to Hydro One linemen Troy Dowdall and Barry Pettigrew for erecting and stabilizing the tree and Hydro One Forestry crew members James Mullins and Lindsay Dougherty for hanging the lights. As with last year’s tree lighting, Terry Forrest of Hydro One Forestry was instrumental in locating a tree and arranging for transportation. We sincerely appreciate this generosity. Rick Sullivan and the Arnprior Builders Supply crew, along with Gerry Armstrong, donated time and equipment to transport the tree on very short notice to ensure it was up in time for the Santa Claus Parade on Nov. 27. Steve Holmes worked tirelessly to change the globe lights to coloured bulbs, as well as providing some maintenance. Thank you to the Town of Arnprior and the Arnprior BIA for their assistance with this initiative. Also, thanks to Gary Mullins and Billy Cunnington from Parks and Recreation for their assistance in hanging the new winter decorations for the BIA. The Economic Development Com-

McNab school secretary surprised by 25-year tribute JOHN CARTER
john.carter@metroland.com
Students and staff, both past and present, held a celebration at McNab Public School Nov. 18 to mark Cathy Stevenson’s 25 years at the school. In a special assembly before a packed gymnasium of students, parents, colleagues, family and local school board trustee Norm Hazelwood, Stevenson was praised for her many contributions to school life as secretary. “This is a very special celebration,” said principal Bronwyn Scott, noting Stevenson has spent her full 25-year career at McNab. “Lucky McNab students, lucky us,” she said. Scott noted the secretary is so important as theirs is the first voice and face people see when they come to or call the school. She said Stevenson has a number of roles from “boss of the buses” and being a friend to ill students to being in charge of decorations at fun fairs and organizing hot lunches. She also continues to serve as secretary of the school’s Home and School Association even though her children have moved on, noted Scott. Scott presented Stevenson with a gift on behalf of all present and past staff in apprecia-
tion of “enriching our lives.” The tribute to Stevenson was emceed by students Katie Neill and Michaela O’Gorman, who announced they were giving her the day off to do whatever she wanted at the school on her special day. They also called up two representatives from each class to present Stevenson with a rose,

for a total of 25, the number of years she has been at the school. The students also presented her with a scrapbook illustrating “the many ways you’ve touched our lives.” In making a presentation to Stevenson, Home and School Association president Charlene Bootland said she has made the students’ school experience more fun in many ways. She said the school’s renowned fun fairs wouldn’t have happened without Stevenson’s organization. In a computer screen message, former principal Jodi Barrett thanked Stevenson for continuing to take care of McNab school. “She’ll be there forever,” she quipped. Another former principal Dagmar Stonehouse told students that Stevenson puts her heart and soul into her job, as she feels an ownership of the school. She is a wonderful role model and the world would be an “absolutely fabulous place” if everyone did their job “as well as Mrs. Stevenson does,” she said. “She is a real inspiration to all of us.” Karen Boewes and Juanita Cooper led students in a rousing song to the tune of Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer that contained such lines as: “Mrs. Ste-
McNab kindergarten students Kailey Andrews, left, and Emily Gonzalez present Cathy Stevenson with two of the 25 roses given her to mark the 25 years she’s spent at the school, as school principal Bronwyn Scott looks on. Photos by John Carter venson, you’re so great; it’s your help we appreciate.” Stevenson said she was truly surprised by the tribute. “I do feel it is my school,” she agreed.
“It’s a great place to work,” she said, adding that it’s been a “wonderful 25 years.” After the assembly, ice cream treats were passed out to everyone attending.

Help form a local emergency team for pets IAN STUPP Pet Talk
A Pet emergency response Team, P.E.R.T. as it will be called, is a pet project of mine that with Fire Chief Okum’s support and volunteers from the community will be formed in 2011 to assist pets in need. Pets just like humans need oxygen, so I have decided to donate three masks to the Arnprior fire department. This may sound like a solution. Unfortunately it is actually a problem and that is why I need your help! In a situation where firefighters rescue a human, paramedics take over. When a pet is rescued there is no one there other than family or friends and in an emergency we need individuals to respond quickly, so I decided to put together, with the help of Fire Chief Okum, the first Pet Emergency Response Team in Arnprior. The responsibility would be a simple one. Firefighters remove the pet and a P.E.R.T volunteer will administer the oxygen and, if necessary, transport the pet to a nearby veterinarian clinic.
I have already committed myself to the donation of equipment and the night shift and I already have a commitment from a family that just recently lost a family pet in a house fire to share the evenings. However, we desperately need volunteers for the day shift. Anyone interested in helping, please contact me either by phone or by email immediately. I have been asked by fire chief Okum to put together a proposal, but I cannot accomplish this goal without the help and support of the community. If you would like to see a pet rescue in progress, go to www.helpanimalsinc.org. What you are about to witness is a limp body come back to life. You will see the tail start to wag and the dog sit up. This video brought tears to my eyes. Pease help me help those that cannot help themselves. Make this project your New Year’s Resolution. For pets’ sake, please call me! Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Pet Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North. For comments or suggestions, he can be reached at 613-623-6200 or info@wagsandwhiskerspg.com.

International snowmobile races coming to Calabogie
430355
December 2 2010 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE
Hundreds of the world’s best snowmobile racing teams will be competing in the season opener of the Canadian Snowcross at Calabogie Peaks Resort this weekend (Dec. 4-5). The Peaks mountain team has fired up the snow guns, covering slopes and the base of the mountain with loads of snow for the track. The races will feature more than 300 racer entries from across Canada and the U.S. The challenging course will feature a 60-foot wide, quarter-mile uphill vertical starting line, huge jumps, downhill drop-offs, and twists and turns. The half-mile racecourse will be built on the mountain directly in front of the resort. so spectators can view all the action from the licensed patio or trackside. Spectators are invited to come watch some of the best racing in the Ottawa region. With snow machines jumping at heights of 100-feet at times, it’s certainly something to see, says Peaks owner Paul Murphy. “This is a first for our community and a first for Calabogie Peaks,” Murphy told members of the Calabogie and Area Business Association Monday. “We don’t know what to expect in terms of crowds,” said Murphy, who noted the event is one of just 10 held in the province. Similar races in the Barrie area can attract up to 10,000 people and while he doesn’t expect that many this time around, he’s hoping the numbers might reach 3,000. For many of the racers, this will be their first time in Calabogie, said Murphy. The spin-off is evident already, with a number of area rooms booked for the weekend. Competing in this year’s events will be renowned Canadian national champions Lee Bulter and Iain Hayden. This weekend’s races will feature over 40 classes of competition including amateur and vintage racing. There are also classes for first-time racers, and classes for junior riders and kids – some as young as four years of age. Gates will be open to spectators from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The Mountain Cat Cafeteria, Black Donald’s Pub and Canthooks restaurant will be open daily. Youth and adult day passes cost $15 for Saturday and $20 for Sunday. Weekend passes cost $30. The daily rate for seniors (65+) and kids (4-12 years) is $10. For more information, visit www.calabogie.com.

High drama as Redmen win Ontario championship Last minute heroics give Arnprior District High School football title TODD VANDONK todd.vandonk@metroland.com
Football fans couldn’t have asked for a better finish to a game at Trent University in Peterborough Saturday (Nov. 27). Arnprior District High School Redmen quarterback Adam Rueckwald found Mitch Bott in the end zone from 11 yards out to lift the Redmen to victory in the AA National Capital Bowl. The acrobatic catch gave ADHS the Ontario championship for the first time. “He (Bott) can jump really high and he has a good set of hands,” said Redmen associate coach Trevor Rosine after Arnprior knocked off the Adam Scott Lions of Peterborough 2823. The Lions appeared to be outmatched as the Redmen built a 22-9 advantage in the first half. Running back Jesse Andrews accounted for all three Redmen touchdowns. He busted an 80yard run to the house on the first play from scrimmage. A success-

ful two-point conversion had Adam Scott down 8-0 early. The Redmen defence was solid in the early going and was able to shut down the Adam Scott passing game. Early in the second quarter, Arnprior’s offence was pushed back and instead of giving the opponents good field position took a knee for a safety that made the score 8-2. The Redmen responded, as the offence was able to spring Andrews from its end zone for an impressive 102-yard run. A nice catch by Jordan Pike and a 55yard run by Andrews put more Arnprior points on the board. With Jesse’s brother, Nathan, contributed a pair of two-point conversions. Lions quarterback Alec Reid gave the home team hope when he found Gage Brady with a 10-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Arnold Vowles booted the convert making the score 22-9 in Arnprior’s favour at halftime. Adam Scott coach Vic Kulla had a message for his team at the break. “If we are going to go down, let’s go down hard,” said Kulla. It was a different Lions team in the second half, as it scored 14 unanswered points to take a 2322 lead in the fourth quarter. Lions running back Kevin Blunck led the comeback with a pair of five-yard touchdown runs, while Vowles added a pair of converts. The Lions were able to exploit a weakness on the defensive line, pushing back the Redmen 40 yards on one drive to set up a touchdown that made the score 22-16. With the Redmen offence continuing to stall, it was only a matter of time for Adam Scott to carry the ball in to take the lead 23-22. Then came the Redmen’s lategame heroics.
With time running down and some worried looks in the Redmen ranks, the coaches changed the game plan with dramatic results. The Lions had managed to slow down Andrews and the Redmen running attack in the second half, keying on the star running back. So the Redmen adjusted and it eventually was a play through the air that put the dagger in the hearts of the Lions. With 82 seconds left, Rueckwald aired out a pass and a leaping Bott came down with the ball despite the best efforts of the Lions safety for the touchdown and the win. The Redmen ran out the clock and came away with the 28-23 win. “The guys managed to pull it all together and we scored when we needed to score,” explained Rosine. “That’s what you need to do to win football games.” “It was a well-played game,” said ADHS head coach Al Luimes. “After we got the big lead, they found a kink in our defensive armour, but we were able to make the adjustments. “We had confidence in our running game,” he added, noting it was the ever present threat of busting out a large gain on the ground that enabled the team to go to the air for the victory. After a late-game time out, the Redmen were able to establish a passing game despite the snowy conditions that eventually led to the winning touchdown. “It was great finish. It was a little closer than I wanted,” Luimes said with a chuckle of the Adam Scott second-half comeback. The team is made up of an “enthusiastic” group of 43 players, Luimes said. “Even on a snow day last week, we still had 38 out for practice, and the field

was like cement.” The team left early Saturday for the three-and-a-half-hour bus ride so it could get acclimatized to Trent University’s turf field, which impressed the Redmen. Luimes was pleased with the support the Redmen received in Peterborough. “A good crowd came down (from Arnprior) to the game to cheer us on. If it wasn’t a quarter of the stands, it sure sounded like it.” The Redmen knocked off a Lions club that was looking for its fourth-straight Bowl win. The Lions were supposed to be rebuilding this year after losing 17 starters to graduation. “We were not a team most expected to be playing in a championship game. We are really proud of them (players),” explained Lions’ coach Vic Kulla. The Redmen finish the season with a 13-1 record, a county championship, an Eastern Ontario championship and the AA Ontario National Capital Bowl Championship. Many of the players dedicated
the season to Chris Edwards, an ADHS student who died suddenly on July 31 at the age of 18. Joining Luimes and Rosine on the coaching staff were Dave Herrick, Stevey Staye and Nathan Mask. In a statement to the school early this week, the coaches said: “We have had a stellar season. We appreciate everyone’s support and although a few of the fifth-year guys might be finished with football and school I’m sure they will have plenty of memories from not only the 14 games played but also the 60 nights of practice in rain and snow. After dedicating over 150 hours to practice, they definitely know that hard work and dedication pay off.” “They were a very dedicated group,” agreed the school’s athletic director Phil Moore. He noted they began practicing early last summer and kept it up all season. “The hard work has paid off,” he said. - With files from Peter Clark, John Carter
Soccer club in danger of dissolving The 520 soccer players at Dochart Park could be without a league to play in if volunteers don’t step forward to replace those looking to retire over the next couple of years. Arnprior and McNab-Braeside United Soccer Club secretary Olga Farrell sounded the warning bell in the lead-up to the club’s annual general meeting (AGM) this Monday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. in the Galilee Centre. “After many years of being operational and a success, we have extreme difficulty finding new volunteers,” Farrell said. “Most of the executive

It is a matter of walking into a tight ship with taught sails. It is even considering a third pitch at Dochart. “We are very, very comfortable with our assets,” Farrell said. “We are willing to stay on to help and assist new people. But with no board there is no club. This club will have to dissolve.” The executive should have eight to 10 volunteers with several others in supporting roles. Farrell said everyone is welcome to the annual meeting. Anyone interested in more details is asked to call club president Darren Ferdinand at 613-623-7157.
Gold, silver, bronze for wrestlers in Montreal
Arnprior Amateur Wrestling club’s Liam Mayhew, bottom, in action in Montreal Nov. 27. Liam Mayhew was the Arnprior club’s last competitor of the day in the Benjamin/peewee division. In this weight class, the top three competitors have been
wrestling each other for the last couple of years and there has always a different result. In his first match against a wrestler from Montreal,
Liam won with a pin while in his second against an experienced wrestler from Mississauga he won on points. This put Liam into the gold metal match against the boy from Brampton who had won Canada East 2010. Liam put up a good fight but in the end lost by a pin and received the silver medal. Coach Kevin Mayhew felt this was a great start to the season for the boys. Arnprior Wrestling club senior members and Arnprior District High School wrestlers will next be competing in Renfrew this Saturday, Dec. 4 and in Kingston Dec. 11.

Three members of the Arnprior Amateur Wrestling club – Adam Redpath of Arnprior and Darren and Liam Mayhew of Fitzroy - travelled to Montreal Nov. 27 to complete at the Quebec Open. Darren Mayhew, in the bantam/cadet category, won three matches to capture the gold medal. His first two matches were won in the first round fairly quickly against some experienced wrestlers, but his third match for gold was a tougher one. In the first round, Darren outpointed his opponent from Brampton, but in the second round both boys were scoring points and it came down to Darren pinning Diego near the end of the round.

Packers into a 2-2 deadlock in the third period, Tanner Knight connected 10:54 from the end to reclaim a one-goal lead for the improving Thunder. Brayden Clancy added the fourth Almonte goal less than two minutes later. Casey Doner scored Arnprior’s opening tally in the first period while Melanson added his second on a power-play to narrow a Packers deficit to 4-3 late. Coach and general manager Bill Griese said his club gave the effort, but was unable to finish off. “We had 80 shots in two games and scored three goals.� A couple of Packers power-plays, which the club failed to capitalize on during the first period in Perth, swayed the tide of the game. “Wright played really well,� Griese added of the Perth goaltender. Griese noted the season is a series of ups and downs. “Every team goes through it,� he added. “Other teams are playing well. Give them credit.� The Packers take on the Timberwolves in Renfrew this Friday at 8 p.m. It’s the first meeting of the two teams since the Wolves fired coach Cal Smith Nov. 23 and replaced him with Tony Iob. On Sunday, Arnprior travels to Stittsville for a 2:30 p.m. face-off with the Royals.

The Arnprior Packers haven’t had many losing weekends during their challenge for first place in the Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. But a lack of finish around enemy goal creases came back to haunt them this past week. The result left Arnprior with a pair of road losses, 6-0 to the Perth Blue Wings Friday night, and a 5-3 setback at the hands of the Almonte Thunder 24 hours later. The Packers are 13-8-and-2 and in second place in the Valley Division, five points in back of Perth. Third-seed Almonte lurks just four points behind Arnprior. The Packers hung tough in their midseason first-place battle with divisionleading Perth before a pair of Shawn McGillivray goals, the second shorthanded, in the middle stanza lit a fire under the Blue Wings. Perth added four goals in the final session, including two from defenceman Adam Emmerton on power-plays early in the period. A shorthanded goal also proved vital Saturday night in Almonte. Shortly after defenceman Mitch Melanson pulled the

The record will show that the Arnprior Bantam Packers had only a tie in three starts at the 2010 Regional Silver Stick hockey tournament in Pembroke last weekend, but the local squad really wasn’t that far away from advancing to the playoff round. The Arnprior squad lost two games on late thirdperiod goals, and skated to a 1-1 tie in their third contest. The Packers suffered a heart-stopping defeat in their opening contest Friday. After tying the game on an Auston Dunn marker with 43 seconds remaining, the Casselman Predators scored 10 seconds from the end to yank away a 4-3 decision. Logan McNulty and Jordan Bergsma had other Arnprior goals. The Bantam Packers also experienced a tough defeat Saturday morning. In a game of several good goal-scoring opportunities at both ends, the Loyalist Jets made good on one of theirs. The Kingston-area squad connected with 5:53 remaining in the final stanza to garner a 1-0 victory. Later on Saturday, the Bantams and North Frontenac Flyers traded middle-stanza markers in a 1-1 deadlock. Brendan Stashick put Arnprior on the scoreboard. Tim McGonigal and Alex Couture handled goalkeeping duties for the Bantam Packers. With no Midget Packers team this year, this past weekend ends Silver Stick competition for Arnprior minor hockey until 2011.

Redmen share triumph with former football coach JOHN CARTER
john.carter@metroland.com
Five members of the Ontario champion Arnprior District High School senior football team visited the Grove Nursing Home Tuesday to share their success with a special fan. Former ADHS principal and football coach William ‘Bill’ Sly, who chalked up many exploits of his own in his almost 30 years at the school, congratulated the boys for their championship season and took delight in seeing the trophy that bears his name. Prior to winning the Ontario and Eastern Ontario AA championships, the Redmen had captured the William Sly Trophy for winning the Lanark-Renfrew football playoff title with a victory in Smiths Falls. Sly’s wife, Lorraine, explained that Sly had donated the trophy to the league in 1981 as a going-away present when he retired as principal of ADHS. Arnprior won the trophy that first year, with the Slys’ son, David, one of the players, and have won it four more times since. Lorraine thanked the players for bringing over the trophy. “It was a wonderful victory,” she said of Saturday’s National Capital Bowl win in Peterborough. “The Ottawa Valley boys are doing all right these days,” added Bill. Sly, who grew up in Foresters Falls up the Valley, was quite an athlete himself, playing hockey and ball while attending high school in Cobden and university at Queen’s. Lorraine says his success in sports and academics was due in good part to his having a “wonderful mother,” who raised him from the age of two after his train engineer father was killed in a landslide.
After going to teacher’s college and teaching at a couple of Valley schools, Sly came to ADHS in the fall of 1953 as the head of physical education. He coached football, basketball, volleyball and track, noted Lorraine. “That was enough,” quipped Bill. In his first year as football coach, Arnprior won the Renfrew County championship. Bill recalls taking the team to Kingston where it ran up against a mammoth player named Charlie Pester who almost single-handedly sent the Redmen down to defeat. He also remembers the senior and junior teams had to share uniforms. When the first game was over, off came the uniforms, which were passed on to the other team’s members. It took a visit to the board of education for Sly to get teams their own uniforms. He was adept at finding uniforms, having persuaded the Ottawa Roughriders to donate 12 uniforms when he started the football program in Eganville. Sly soon became vice-principal at ADHS to assist principal A.C. Ward. But he kept coaching football. Several of his players made university and college teams and at least two, Jim Silye and Rob Raycroft, played in the Canadian Football League. Sly was known as a fair but no nonsense coach. One of his players, Joe Townley, remembers the players singing and acting crazy on a bus trip back from Deep River after a defeat. Sly stopped the bus and reminded his players: “You lost. Quit celebrating.” Sly says he has many fond coaching memories. “The kids were great. I got to know a lot of them well,” he said. Sly became ADHS principal in 1964 and served 17 years in the post.

So Glad to Be Me self-esteem program heads north SHERRY HAAIMA
On the first day of Jen Charbonneau’s visit to Kashechewan, there were one or two girls waiting at the gate to accompany her to the school to deliver her So Glad to Be Me program. By the last day of the weeklong trip to northern Ontario, about 18 students joined her for the short walk. Charbonneau, an Arnprior resident, visited the remote community near James Bay to bring her seven-year-old self-esteem program for girls to families there. “When I was originally approached I really had no idea what to expect,” says Charbonneau. Kashechewan is a remote First Nations community only accessible by plane except in winter when ice roads are used. The community was in the spotlight in 2006 when residents had to be evacuated after flooding the town’s water supply with e-coli. One of the results of the incident was that officials learned students were struggling in terms of education. “They found out they were pretty far behind the provincial standard in terms of education and learning,” says Charbonneau.
Jen Charbonneau of Arnprior works with several of the Kashechewan students enjoying the So Glad to Be Me program. Photo submitted Kashechewan is a community in crisis, says Charbonneau. “That particular community is about 75 per cent unemployed and on welfare,” she says. Charbonneau was approached by an acquaintance who works with the federal government in First Nations communities to see if she’d be interested in taking So Glad to Be Me on the road. She met her about eight years ago at a retreat and met up with her again at Almonte’s Herbfest
in 2009. That was when the idea for the trip came about. “They really felt like they needed to do some self-esteem building and challenge management,” she said. “There’s been a downward spiral with some of the girls.” Along with drug and alcohol use and early pregnancy, suicide attempts were concerning officials. There were several Grade 6 girls who were trying to overdose on Tylenol, says Charbonneau.

neau, while a case of 24 cans of pop is $10. Eating healthy is a struggle for many families on a tight budget or relying on social assistance. The poor diets can contribute to inattentiveness and hyperactivity, too, which makes learning more difficult. What the students may have lacked in academic knowledge, they made up for in creativity, says Charbonneau. “All these kids were so creative and so artistic,” she says. They were also appreciative of the materials she brought. Stickers and worksheets that are par for the course for girls around here were a big hit with the Kashechewan students. “Every sticker on those sheets would be used,” says Charbonneau. “I was very excited about being able to give these kids so many things.” One of the biggest messages Charbonneau left behind was to focus on the positive. She encouraged the girls to beg in keeping a journal and listing things for which they are thankful, even if it’s as small as a beautiful sunset. “We can always find negative things, it’s easy. Focus on the small positive things that are going on. It changes the way you feel,” says Charbonneau.
What she discovered upon arrival in Kashechewan she described as a “learned hopelessness.” When asked to name their biggest hope or dream, some of the girls were stumped. “They just don’t realize there’s a whole world out there,” says Charbonneau. When asked to do an art project depicting one of their most treasured hopes for the future, one student drew a beautiful, red strawberry. When Charbonneau asked the girl about her love of strawberries, the girl replied: “Well I hope to try them one day.” The experience was not without its laughs. “When I work with young girls it’s always fun and these girls were no exception,” Charbonneau says. While the program she delivered was largely the same, the implementation was sometimes different. “What I did learn by day two was they had to be busy 100 per cent of the time,” says Charbonneau. Since it all has to be shipped in, food, especially that which is fresh and healthy, is very expensive. As an example, four litres of milk that costs about $5 here retails at $14.90, explains Charbon-

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has questioned Minister of Transportation Kathleen Wynne on the situation regarding the Canadian Pacific rail line from Smith Falls to Mattawa known as the Ottawa Valley Railway (OVR). In January CP announced its intention to discontinue and sell the OVR line. As a result, the Canada Transportation Act dictates that a discontinuance process must take place. This process initiated several possibilities. The federal government had until Nov. 6 to exercise the option of purchasing the line but decided against it. The provincial government now has until Dec. 6 to purchase the line. “The McGuinty government has just a few short weeks to express interest and move to save
this important economic development asset before it is lost for good,” Yakabuski said in a Nov. 18 news release. The OVR is the last East-West alternative for cross-country trains to bypass the heavily congested Toronto corridor and is a natural extension of the Montreal-Ottawa network. “I’m calling on the provincial government to use every means at their disposal to keep this significant rail line open – whether by exercising their option to purchase the line, or by sitting down with the federal government as soon as possible to coordinate a solution before it’s too late,” Yakabuski said. IN THE LEGISLATURE Speaking in the Legislature Nov. 18, Minister Wynne de-
scribed the rail as important. “It’s a federal issue, but it is a very important issue,” she said. “Without a federal partner, without the federal government stepping up and having a plan for dealing with these rail lines when a company like CP walks away from a piece of line, the federal government needs to understand that this is their responsibility, in my opinion,” Wynne said. Yakabuski replied, “All across the Ottawa Valley, stakeholders and municipal governments have voiced their deep concern over the possibility that this line could close. This is the last eastwest alternative for cross-country trains hoping to bypass the very congested Toronto corridor. If the line is closed, east-west rail traffic is going to have to go through this very congested Toronto corridor. You could be the
last hope to save the line and, with it, improve the economic prospects in the Ottawa Valley. “Minister, I would ask that you would exercise this option prior to Dec. 6 or at least if you would sit down with your federal counterpart, the minister in the federal government, to work out some sort of solution to keep this vital transportation link open,” the local MPP said. “A few weeks ago, some of you may have seen the celebrations around the 125th anniversary of the pounding in of the last spike, and there’s a lot of emotional and historical energy around rail and Canada. It’s a federal responsibility. It’s up to the federal govern-
ment to make sure that we have that network of rail lines across the province. “I think that there’s a lot of work that needs to be done, and that’s why I say I’m very happy that the member has raised the issue because it’s something that we need to work on as a country, and the federal government needs to take that responsibility. So, I hope the member opposite will go back to his counterpart. “I have actually raised this issue with the new federal Minister of Transport. He knows it’s an issue. I think it’s something that has to be talked about in the context of a national transportation strategy.

On Nov. 25, Arnprior District High School vocational students once again teamed up with co-operative education students and local employers. This was the second such experience for some members of Joe Lavoie’s vocational class, who team up with Shirley Stevenson’s co-op students to gain valuable work experience at local businesses. The experience is invaluable in preparing vocational students for future co-op experiences, while providing valuable leadership skills for the co-op students
they are teamed up with. This month, participating businesses included Canadian Tire, Arnprior Health and Fitness, Zieview Farms, Pineridge Day Care Centre and Walter Zadow Public School. The initiative will continue on a monthly basis throughout the semester. Once again, a very special thanks goes out from ADHS to the wonderfully supportive and accommodating participants that make such experiences so rewarding for the young members of our community.

# 3849 Buzz
# 3643 Jimmy
Buzz is gentle and easygoing and would make a great pet in a home with children. He seven-month-old neutered male was brought to the shelter with his sister to find new homes. He is a sweet, affectionate little cat who loves attention. Buzz likes to be held and cuddled and is playful and curious. Buzz is a quiet kitten who likes other cats.
Can you give this handsome kitty a home for Christmas? Jimmy, a one-and-a-half-year-old male, has been at the shelter since January, when he was brought in to find a new home because his owners were moving. Jimmy is shy when meeting new people, but once he is comfortable he is very affectionate and loving. He loves other cats and would be best suited in a home with at least one other cat. Jimmy would do best in a quiet home - he is playful but also likes his quiet times napping in the sunshine. Jimmy is an indoor only cat.
Supples the shelter needs: In desperate need of non-clumping cat litter, paper towels bleach and liquid laundry soap.

Expressions of thanks came from all five outgoing Renfrew County councillors and Warden Don Rathwell during the county council meeting Nov. 24. Rathwell isn’t leaving county council. Rather, he is completing his second of two terms as warden this year, but not seeking re-election for a third term. However, he will remain on county council as the representative for Whitewater Region Township. On the other hand, Bob Johnston of Horton, Ann Aikens of Deep River, John Hildebrandt of Madawaska Valley, Zig Mintha of Bonnechere Valley and Vance Gutzman of Laurentian Hills are leaving. Four of them did not run in the last
municipal election, while Mintha was defeated in the race for mayor by Jennifer Murphy. “I would never have guessed two years ago, at my swearing-in ceremony that we would be faced with the worst economic recession since the 1930s,” said Rathwell in his final warden’s address to start the meeting.

The outgoing county councillors each received an engraved stone plaque that read: “Thank you for your commitment and dedication to the residents of the County of Renfrew.” Hildebrandt said goodbye, but indicated county council hadn’t heard the last of him. He didn’t say why, but the day before he was named spokesman for a new organization (Ontario Biomass Energy Association) that is lobbying the provincial government for a higher feed-in tariff (FIT) rate for biomass, in efforts to save the future of the Ontario forest industry. “You can take the boy out of politics, but you can’t take the politics out of the boy,” Hildebrandt told county council. “I’m going to miss it (council), I’m sure … but I’m going to be hanging around.” Johnston, the mayor of Horton, was even briefer, saying, “It’s been a slice of life the last seven years (here) and we’ll be seeing you down the road.” The only departing female county councillor, Aikens said, “I will miss you all incredibly … It’s been a real honour to represent my community at this table.”

Continued from Page 30 However, there are areas that we do have control over, and there are many areas where we, as a council, have had success,” said Rathwell. He then referred to such successes as approved projects through Ontario’s rural connections program and funding for the Eastern Ontario Regional Network’s broadband initiative that will bring high-speed Internet to most of the county in the near future. He also mentioned the growth of the Taste of the Valley events, with the four events helping to showcase the made-in-RenfrewCounty products of more than 120 local producers. Rathwell also thanked outgoing council members: “I know all of you will keep busy in your communities, and I commend you for your years of service, and dedication to our residents and our communities.” An honorary gavel, mounted on a plaque, was presented to Rathwell by county councillors Audrey Green of Renfrew and Peter Emon of Greater Madawaska. She nominated and Emon seconded his 2010 nomination for a second term as warden.

Arnprior OPP are reminding people to be very wary of anyone requesting they wire money to assist an injured relative or one who has been arrested and require bail money to be wired. Over the past few weeks Arnprior OPP officers have been receiving complaints of a scam where suspects are contacting unsuspecting people and identifying themselves as a distant relative or grandchild. The caller laments being arrested for various offences, usually involving impaired driving, and is in dire need of cash to be wired through Western Union for bail money. “Do not wire anyone any money if you are not sure who they really are,” advise police. “Please obtain as much caller information such as phone numbers, addresses, etc. … and contact police if you are unsure.” The OPP also urges people to contact other family members to verify if indeed the call is genuine. Police will follow up on complaints, they stress. The OPP says there are also several other scams where people are told they have won money but need to send some funds first to secure their prize. Others want you to hold onto millions of dollars as their country is under siege, etc. There area also over-payment scams for Internet purchases. The Arnprior OPP says the list is limitless, so if you’re contacted in such a way, beware.
Arnprior hockey player facing charges in U.S. An Arnprior player is one of two Mercyhurst College team members facing charges of sexually assaulting a woman in a campus apartment in mid-November. Erie police report forward Kyle Just and goaltender Jordan Tibbett appeared in court Nov. 23 in the Pennsylvania town. The pair, both freshmen on the college men’s hockey team, were released on bail. In an affidavit, both said the sexual contact was consensual. Just, who played for the Pembroke Lumber Kings last year, is from Arnprior. He is one of Mercyhurst’s top scorers, with seven points so far this season, including a goal and an assist in a 3-1 win over Robert Morris Nov. 19. However, he was not in the lineup in games Mercyhurst lost to American International Nov. 26-27.
Water test warning issued
The OPP is warning of a “scam” in which people receive a call from a ‘township official’ asking if they want their water tested. After a test, they are encouraged to buy a $4,000 filter system. 417024

Arnprior OPP arrested a teenager suspected of abduction and sexual assault Nov. 25 as he was waiting for a bus to take him out of town. The saga began Sunday, Nov. 21 when Arnprior OPP officers were dispatched to the Twin Maples Motel on Daniel Street to respond to a report of a female being forcibly confined and assaulted in the motel. When officers arrived, they found the suspect had already fled on foot, reportedly with weapons. Arnprior officers, assisted by Ottawa OPP Highway Safety Division members who had been working in the Arnprior area, secured the scene and began to search for the suspect in the vicinity and at several local residences over the next several hours without success. Follow-up investigation was conducted by the Arnprior OPP Crime Unit, Detective Jennifer Calder and members of the Arnprior OPP detachment over the next four days. On Thursday, Nov. 25, 18-yearold Kory Robillard- Delahunt of Arnprior was apprehended while he was sitting in a local restaurant awaiting a bus to take him out of the area. He has been charged with 36 counts involving several criminal charges. They include four counts of sexual assault, one count of forcible confinement; four counts of assault with a weapon, two counts of possession of a weapon, two counts of assault causing bodily harm, one count of robbery with violence, one

LCBO December campaign supports MADDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts The public can help support Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Canada this month by making a donation at any of the more than 600 LCBO stores throughout Ontario. Donation boxes for MADD Canada are being displayed at LCBO checkout counters, including the ones in Arnprior and Carp, throughout December. As part of LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Spirit of Giving campaign, cashiers will also invite customers to add a $2 donation to their purchase until Dec. 31. During December, the campaign
raises funds for MADD Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school education program and Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four sick childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitals, including the CHEO Foundation. LCBO is an official partner of MADD Canada and supporter of its school multi-media assembly program. Thanks to the $1.8 million raised in the 2009 LCBO campaign, more than 500 presentations of the 2010-2011 school multi-media program, Shattered, are being delivered to a half a million students. The program is designed to get stu-
dents thinking about the seriousness of impaired driving â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as drivers and passengers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and what they can do to stop it. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Shatteredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blends real-life victim testimonials with three fictional storylines about pre-teens and teens drinking. It drives home the message that a decision to drive impaired, or ride with an impaired driver, shatters lives forever. To see a preview of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Shatteredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, visit MADD Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website www. madd.ca.
Rain, melt causes creeks to rise The heavy rainfall and snow melt that hit the area Tuesday and Wednesday prompted the Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) office to issue a high water caution. The office warned the wet, mild weather is causing the flow of smaller streams to rise quickly. Officials emphasized the dangers of fast flowing water from now through the spring runoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents are strongly urged to continue to warn their children about dangers of hypothermia and playing in or near cold fast moving water in ditches and smaller creeks.â&#x20AC;? Daily water levels and flows are available on the MVC website at www.mvc.on.ca.

Police in Ontario have been given new powers to impound vehicles of offenders as of Dec. 1. Individuals can have their vehicles impounded for seven days on the spot if they are caught: â&#x20AC;˘ driving with a blood alcohol concentration over .08 (beyond the legal limit) or for failing/refusing to provide a breath sample; â&#x20AC;˘ driving while under certain Highway Traffic Act licence suspensions including chronic nonpayment of family support; â&#x20AC;˘ driving without an ignition interlock device when one is required. The seven-day impoundment program changes are part of the Road Safety Act designed to keep
suspended and impaired drivers off Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads, along with those not paying child support. Government officials estimate that up to threequarters of all suspended drivers continue to drive. About 2.3 per cent of all fatal and injury crashes in Ontario involve drivers with suspended or revoked licences. Annually, Ontario issues about 17,000 licence suspensions related to driving with a blood alcohol concentration over .08 and/or for failing/refusing to provide a breath sample. Between April 2009, and March 2010, the family responsibility office suspended 3,965 driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licences for non-payment of child support.
Arnprior constables Paul Emon and Ken Rusaw were conducting Operation Door Knock (to check on accused who have release conditions from court) in Arnprior Nov. 18. As a result of their check, a 29-year-old Arnprior woman has been charged with breaching her release conditions. As a result of a Nov. 24 investigation, Const. Mark Young charged a 36-year-old Arnprior male with breaching conditions of his recognizance.
Arnprior OPP have charged three people with bail violations. On Nov. 18, Const. Ken Rusaw conducted an investigation in Arnprior that resulted in a 31year-old Arnprior man being charged with several criminal charges, including eight counts of failing to comply with conditions of a court release, one count of breach of conditions, possession of a schedule one drug, criminal harassment and mischief under $5,000

Getting to know … Pascal Leclaire
By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Pascal Leclaire gets paid to stop the puck. But there is a whole lot more to the Ottawa Senators goaltender than what goes on between the pipes. Among other things, Leclaire is a wine enthusiast who took an off-season trip to Bordeaux, France, to see exactly what goes into making some of his favourite vintages. The Senators stopper is also a whiz in the kitchen who made a summer appearance on a television show featuring Ricardo, a popular Quebec chef. Leclaire took some time out to talk about two of his off-ice pas-
sions and the game he loves:
Q: What is your favourite minor hockey memory? A: Playing in the peewee tournament in Quebec City. It was the year the Nordiques left town. Our team had the Canadiens jerseys on and we did the opening (game). There were about 15,000 people there and we all got booed. I was 12 years old and I remember that. It was fun to be a part of it. Q: If you weren’t a goalie, what position would you want to play? A: I started as a defenceman when I was a kid because my dad wanted me to learn how to skate. But I wouldn’t be playing in the
NHL if was still a defenceman. Q: Your all-time favourite hockey player? A: Patrick Roy. He’s an easy choice for a Montreal kid. Q: If you’re the person doing the cooking, what’s on the menu for dinner? A: I do a little bit of everything. I actually cook a lot at home. I enjoy cooking quite a bit. In the summer, we do a lot of barbecues. Me and my buddies, we eat a lot of meats. I’ve started making risottos, too. I like making them a lot. Q: What’s your favourite wine? A: Either a French Bordeaux or an Italian Barolo. One of those two. Q: What did you discover about wine when you went to Bordeaux over the summer? A: It was just a chance to meet the people who make it. What impressed me the most is all the attention they pay to the grape itself. They were explaining that when they make a nice wine, they pick one grape at a time by hand and if there’s a scratch on it, it goes into a second (level) batch of stuff. Q: What’s the best cooking tip you learned from Ricardo? A: We did a potato gratin and
I learned you have to keep an eye on it all the time. He likes to talk a lot and I’m the same way. We kept talking and the potatoes were starting to stick in the pan. It kind of looked bad. Q: Your favourite websites to visit? A: I subscribe to the Robert Parker site (www.erobertparker. com). He’s the guy who does all the wine tasting. Before I buy wine, I like going there to see his notes. I go on CNN every day to see what’s going on in the world. Q: What’s in your iPod right now? A: I like the old Michael Jackson music a lot. All pop music, rap, R & B … I pretty much listen to everything but country music. Q: Your favourite TV show? A: I’ve always liked The Simpsons and South Park. Pretty light stuff. And I watch the Food Network quite a bit, too. Q: What do you like to read? A: I’m not a big book reader. I’m more of a magazine guy. It depends on my mood. I’ll read some of the paparazzi stuff, wine stuff, food stuff … pretty much everything.

It’s been a slow start out of the gate for the defending Northeast Division champions, who have been better performers on the road than at home. The play of the Sabres’ Vezina Trophy-winning goalie of a year ago, Ryan Miller, has mirrored that of his teammates, with inconsistency and injuries plaguing one of the NHL’s top stoppers. Rookie Tyler Ennis has been a revelation up front, where Derek Roy, Thomas Vanek and Tim Connolly remain the offensive leaders. Meanwhile, Buffalo’s other trophy winner from a year ago, top rookie Tyler Myers, is off to a sluggish start on the blue line, which has gotten a boost from the play of Jordan Leopold.
