RED FRIDAY

It’s going to be Red Friday in Arnprior Jan. 14.

Many people wear red Fridays as a salute to Canada’s troops and their sacrifice in the name of peace.

However, Arnprior residents will have another reason to wear red Jan. 14. The town has declared that date Redmen Day in honour of the many exploits of Arnprior District High School students in the past couple of years.

The town of Arnprior has published a brochure highlighting some of those achievements.

That pamphlet is included in today’s edition of the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide.

Water problems not system-wide: testing JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

The final report on well testing in the Braeside Ridge area indicates there is no system-wide contamination problems with the water.

Township CAO Noreen Mellema told council the results of tests by the Renfrew County Health Unit and provincial Ministry of Environment show there are some site-specific problems, but the Braeside Quarry operation is not affecting nearby wells.

“The tests didn’t raise any red flags.”

While there are water

quality problems in some wells, the results show that the area’s water “is no better or no worse than anyplace else in rural Eastern Ontario,” said Mayor Mary Campbell.

She congratulated the Health Unit and MOE for “going above and beyond” with three rounds of testing, which would have been costly for township taxpayers if the municipality been forced to do it.

She stressed that council has always maintained the well contamination issue was never strictly a ‘quarry’ issue.

Volunteers help to make Christmas dinner a big success SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

A local group of volunteers has figured out a great way to spread holiday cheer and make a difference in the community.

Mel’s House of Flowers owner Tracy Climo, employee Erica Slater and a host of volunteers worked hard to make sure a free Christmas dinner Dec. 25 at the Nick Smith Centre was as successful as last year’s inaugural event.

The dinner, open to anyone who couldn’t afford a festive holiday meal or just looking for some company, drew about 75 people.

“We had a nice crowd,” says Slater. “There were a lot of different people from last year and some familiar faces.”

Among those who

dropped in were Renfrew County paramedics who were on duty, as organizers had extended an invitation to all emergency services personnel who were working Christmas Day. The community comes through in a big way to make the dinner happen and there were plenty of festive eats for everyone, says Slater. “There were lots of donors and lots of volunteers. We’re really lucky,” says Slater.

The event is very familyoriented and relaxed, she says.

Leftovers went to the Mission in Ottawa, so there was little waste.

And helping bring joy to those who need it at Christmas is a nice way of giving back, says Slater.

“It’s been good for us and our families to

get involved,” she says.

Organizers expressed their gratitude to all those who work to make the dinner a success.

While some may think Christmas Day a tough time to get volunteers, there has been no shortage of bodies to help do the work, says Slater.

Organizers will do their best to make the dinner an annual affair and remind members of the public that any new volunteers are always welcome.

L’ARCHE LUNCH Meanwhile in another Christmas tradition, PJ’s Restaurant provided lunch for about 40 Arnprior L’Arche members and volunteers Dec. 21. L’Arche operates three assisted living homes in town.

SNORING AND SLEEP APNEA? Dr. Edit Lukacs Dragoi

555 Legget Drive, Suite 201 (behind Alcatel)

General Dentist

December 16th, 2010.

Dear patients, I am pleased to announce the sale of my dental practice to the husband-wife team of Dr. Luu Nguyen and Dr. Thanh Do. I am very happy to be staying on after the sale to practise dentistry with the same wonderful staff and in the same location.

As always, I thank you for allowing me the privilege and opportunity to work with you in maintaining and improving your oral health.

Dr. Luu Nguyen and Dr. Thanh Do did their undergraduate degrees and dental education at the University of Toronto. Dr. Nguyen graduated in 2001 and Dr. Do in 2002.After dental school, Dr. Luu Nguyen also completed a one year post graduate hospital residency at Washington Medical School , Missouri. Together, they practised for one and a half years in Thunder Bay before purchasing the Carleton Place Dental Centre from Dr. Dean McDermid in 2003. Since then, this team has been working as general dentists serving the Carleton Place and Smith Falls communities. Looking for another location to expand, they found my practice and Arnprior as the right fit and they are very excited about this new opportunity.

Both doctors are members of the Canadian Dental Association, the Ontario Dental Association, the Ottawa Dental Society, and The General Dentistry Academy.

They have also taken continuing education courses and seminars throughout their careers to update knowledge and skills in keeping with the modern world of dentistry. Although they provide a wide range of dental treatments to their patients, Dr. Do especially enjoys orthodontics , cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry while Dr. Nguyen likes treating children and enjoys the surgical aspect of dentistry such as sedation, wisdom tooth removal, and dental implants.

Outside of dentistry, Drs. Nguyen and Do love spending time with their two young sons and getting outside to enjoy their beautiful community.

I thank you for your past trust and confidences and I am eager to join and work with these two young, energetic and caring dentists. I hope you will give them an opportunity to serve you as you have kindly done with me. Together, I am confident that we are able to provide you with an excellent and satisfying level of services.

Sincerely,

Vance Bedore named to McNab-Braeside’s committee of adjustment JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Nobody can accuse McNab-Braeside’s committee of adjustment of lacking planning experience.

“We’ve got the most talented committee of adjustment in the land,” said Mayor Mary Campbell, as council appointed former Renfrew County director of planning and development

Vance Bedore to its committee.

Bedore held the top planning post for the county from 1984 to 2000 and since 2001 has been working for Public Works and Development Canada as a senior planner.

That gives him 25 years experience as a professional planner in high-ranking positions.

“This is really exciting ... we have a wealth of experience on the com-

mittee,” said Campbell. “It shows you what great expertise we have to call on in this township.”

Bedore joins Geoffrey Booth (chairman) and Barb Asselin on the committee.

He replaces Dana McLachlin, who has stepped down.

The committee holds hearing and makes rulings on minor variance and severance consent applications.

McNab-Braeside council has decided it is not safe to put a boat launch at the bottom of Archibald Street in Rhoddy’s Bay. A woman had asked council to consider a boat launch, but council agreed the road is too steep.

Mayor Mary Campbell said boaters are able to use the boat launch at Red Pine Bay.

Mellema recommended Smith and Gillan for the volunteer positions.

Mayor Mary Campbell, noting several of the candidates, including three retired school teachers, are from the Braeside-Sandy Hook area, said it is important to have representation from other areas of the township too.

“We need as broad representation of the township as possible,” she said.

McNab-Braeside council has appointed White Lake area resident Susan Gillan to the Arnprior Public Library Board.

On Tuesday, council also re-appointed Daniel Q. Smith of Sandy Hook to another four years on the board.

Gillan, a recent retiree who is a long-

time resident of the township and an avid user of the library, replaces Roseanne McNeil on the board.

Township CAO Noreen Mellema said there was an abundance of responses to the call for people to represent McNab-Braeside on the board. “It was really good to see so much interest.”

Council agreed the other applicants’ names will be kept in case a vacancy

Continued from front The car is described as red, two-door hatchback, black door handles and blue dice with white dots hanging from the rear view mirror.

The silver sticker with an outline of Jesus on the cross was situated above the car’s right rear wheel.

Investigators would like to speak to anyone who may have information on this case, or to anyone who may recognize the suspect vehicle.

Call the Renfrew OPP at 613-432-3211.

OPP Constable Andre Kolkowski is investigating.

If you have information, you can also contact CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or online at www..valleytips.ca.

If your information leads to an arrest or charge, you would earn a cash reward of up to $2,000.

CPR skills came in handy Continued from front The ambulance attendant said that Majaury saved the women’s life, Boudreau said.

Majaury said he picked up the woman’s son on Thomas Street and took him to her Eady Street address Thursday evening.

The son knew something was wrong because his mother was complaining she felt clammy and was sweating profusely.

When Majaury went in to help, he found the woman unconscious and unresponsive. He used wipes to cool her down and performed CPR for about 10 minutes until the ambulance arrived, he said.

The woman was rushed to Arnprior hospital and has since recovered. She apparently suffered a diabetes attack.

“It feels good to be able to do what I learned at Hydro One,” said Majaury.

“I did what I was taught to do ... it shows how important knowing CPR and first aid can be.”

Continued from front There were at least four sources considered as possibly contributing to the contamination, including the quarry, outdated septic systems, unusually heavy rains and the spreading of septage, she said.

Tom Jones, property manager of Miller Paving, operator of the Braeside Quarry, said he is “very pleased” to see the monitoring work done.

It was the company’s hydro-geological engineers who “brought the problem to light,” he said.

Jones said Miller’s experts are available to help landowners in the area solve any water problems they have, he added.

Campbell said she asked if the MOE and Health Unit had any recommendations to help deal with the well water contamination that was found.

The ministries suggested the township is taking appropriate steps to protect the water with the provisions in its official plan and building code, she said.

Mellema said the Health Unit has offered to hold a workshop locally showing landowners how to test their well water.

As well, the ministries have encouraged the township to distribute well water protection information, which it could do in the tax bills, she added.

She said the township and ministries would like to tackle the problem by addressing such

issues as proper installation of wells and maintenance of septic systems.

“Education is the key ... we’re going to arrange meetings and press releases on wells and septic systems ... sometime early in the new year.”

Council agreed to send a thankyou letter to the ministries in appreciation for the well monitoring program.

QUARRY NOISE Council is eyeing a community advisory panel like the one formed by Holcim Canada to deal with noise and other complaints at its Mississauga aggregatesconcrete-asphalt operations as a possible avenue to get the two sides of the Braeside Quarry asphalt plant debate together.

Mayor Mary Campbell said finding out about the ways other companies deal with complaints is a “real eye-opener.”

The township needs ideas on how to tailor its noise bylaw and policies to deal with the asphalt plant in the quarry and an MTO request to be granted an exemption from the bylaw for the next phase of the Highway 417 fourlaning in the township, she said.

“We’re looking for a win-win here.”

Miller Paving property manager Tom Jones said his company is familiar with how community advisory committees have worked in other projects.

Spreading Christmas cheer busy, so we decided instead to purchase small personal items that could be used for their daily care,” explained Lionette Norma Goddard.

“We know some of the patients are a little sad and the gift brightens them up a bit.”

After 26 years it is easy to wonder if the Lionettes will continue this type of community service.

When asked Norma has a quick reply: “We plan on being here every year.”

Thank you to the Arnprior Lionettes and all the other volunteers who took the time to spread some Christmas spirit.

For the past 26 years, the Arnprior Lionettes have provided Christmas cheer for chronic care patients at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital.

Each year activities department co-ordinator Michelle Johnson and the Lionettes organize a singalong, some Christmas treats and a visit with Santa to help raise the spirits of the patients needing to stay in the hospital over Christmas.

“We used to provide small poinsettias to all the chronic patients to brighten up their rooms.

Preparations are beginning for the second annual Arnprior White Pine Festival scheduled for Aug. 27-28.

After the success with the festival in 2010, organizers believe that the 2011 event will grow to double the size of last year.

Everyone who became part of the first festival from the vendors, events, entertainment, service clubs, the committee members who worked so well together and you, the spectators, who spent the two days with at the festival, “we want to give you a big thank you,” said festival spokesman Art Smith.

“Without you it wouldn’t have happened.”

Smith said if everyone who attended last year brought even one extra friend or relative, it would double last year’s attendance. “We know you will do it,” he said.

The committee is looking at repeating several of last year’s events plus adding a number of newer, more exciting ones. It also anticipates doubling the number of vendors.

The dance and beer garden will be held downtown again.

“But as we grow so do our expenses,” said Smith. “In the next few weeks all businesses regardless of size will receive a letter from our sponsorship committee The Town of Arnprior asking for your is commencing an help.”

billed as a festival for the Town of Arnprior by the people of Arnprior. “We need your help to do this,” he said.

“Many of the businesses in town belong to other organizations who support us as well, but we are also asking you, as an individual owner, manager, to help as well.

“We will make sure you will be mentioned on our website, which has a huge following, over 4,000 (hits) last year in about four to five months. How is that for advertisement?”

When people receive letters from the committee, “we hope you will become part of the festival,” Smith urged.

Starting in February, the committee will start keeping the community up to date with what is happening in the local paper, its website and other media sources.

“Thank you in advance from the sponsorship committee and have a great New Year. Also remember, this is the 150th anniversary of our great County of Renfrew. We would like to be a part of that as well.”

Long-time Braeside postmaster Harold Leitch died Jan. 2 at the age of 56.

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell called it a “great loss for the community.”

Leitch, who was a well-known “character” in the Braeside

area, had been ill for some time.

He passed away surrounded by his family at Ottawa General Hospital Sunday evening.

His death brings into question the future of the Braeside post office, which his family has run for many years.

Leitch was a life-long resident of Braeside. He is survived by his wife, Nancy; children Samantha and Thomas; mother Charlotte Leitch of Arnprior; sister Linda Daze; sister-inlaw Audrey Jamieson; fatherin-law Jimmy Nesbitt of Ren-

frew; and several other in-laws.

He was predeceased by his father, Mervyn Leitch, and brother Jimmy.

A funeral celebration of his life was scheduled for 11 a.m. today (Thursday) at the Pilon Family Funeral Home chapel

after visitations Wednesday. The Rev. Dr. Richard Hollingsworth officiated.

Leitch’s family is asking that donations be made in his memory to the Braeside United Church or the Arnprior Humane Society.

Two Rivers Musical Productions group co-ordinators, from left, Lisa Webber, Marisa Bosa, and Bernie Miller are introducing a new musical theatre company to Arnprior. Their goal is to make musical theatre accessible to all ages locally.

Their first production will be Annie in June, with auditions planned for Jan. 20 and 23.

Annie to be new musical theatre group’s first production A New Year often brings new endeavors and presenting a community musical certainly qualifies as an adventure.

The founding members of Two Rivers Musical Productions, Bernie Miller, Lisa Webber and Marisa Bosa, are excited to announce the production of Annie at Arnprior District High School June 2, 3 and 4.

All three have been involved in musical theatre productions with other organizations for many years.

They were motivated by the knowledge that while there is a wealth of musical and techni-

cal talent in the area there are very few opportunities to participate in a formal production.

The musical Annie was chosen as the premiere production because of its universal appeal and the fact the cast can range in age from 7 to 90 years. Auditions for Annie are scheduled for Jan. 20 and 23.

All members of the community are invited to audition – no previous experience is required.

Of course, presenting a musical is a costly business. Licensing and royalties fees, costume, and set costs run to thousands of dollars.

As a fundraising event, the group is hosting

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Mississippi Mills is spearheading a drive to secure animal pound services for Lanark County.

Among the options being considered by the town are joining in with a Lanark County-wide operator or striking an agreement to have a joint service with Arnprior and McNab-Braeside.

“No one can afford to run it themselves,” said Mississippi Mills Coun. Garry Dalgity.

Mississippi Mills says it will be entering into talks with McNab-Braeside and Arnprior, which has contracted its animal

bylaw enforcement out to a private firm.

In a report to council, Mississippi Mills town clerk Cindy Halcrow pointed out Arnprior pays $10,788 to the Humane Society for pound services, while McNab-Braeside pays $1,966 a month for bylaw and animal control services, and $3,000 a year for pound services.

TAGS DON’T COVER COST “Animal control costs are not completely recovered through dog tag licence fees,” wrote Halcrow. The town collected $12,748 in fees in 2009, and $11,494 in 2010.

ATMs likely for Almonte, Pakenham arenas DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The community centres in both Pakenham and Almonte could be getting automatic teller machines (ATMs) by the new year.

The Town of Mississippi Mills was approached by an Ottawabased company called ATM’s R Us about installing their ATMs in the two arenas.

The town stands to make 25 to 50 cents per transaction.

“We were hoping for the Christmas season (for installation). But it might be a touch later,” said Coun. Paul Watters, the newlyelected chairman of the towns’ recreation and culture committee. “It was recommended to council. But we are still looking at the numbers.”

Liability issues are one of the reasons why the machines will not be installed in the run-up to the busy Christmas season.

“The concern was with insurance and security issues,” said Calvin Murphy, recreation co-ordinator for the town. “That would have to be investigated at this point. Committee would like to see something come back in the new year on that.”

“We are definitely moving forward,” said Watters. “It’s quite important for people who want to spend money in Mississippi Mills and we should make it easy for them to have a spot that’s nice and easy to get it.”

Watters noted that installing ATM machines in Mississippi Mills town facilities would come at a good time, in the run-up to the 2012 World Broomball championships, which will be held in the area.

“George Brown of Carleton Place will get back to us…in two to three weeks with some finalities on that,” said Watters of the broomball tournament, which

will see teams from all over the world, including six from Europe, competing in Beckwith Township, Arnprior, Carleton Place, Almonte, and Pakenham for a week.

McBain detailed how the mutually-beneficial arrangement would work.

“The Town of Mississippi Mills, through its recreation department, will receive revenues based on the volume or number of transactions processed through the machines,” wrote McBain.

“A reasonable charge rate of between $2.25 and $2.50 per transaction will net the municipality $0.25 - $0.50 per transaction depending on the charge rate.”

EXTRA CASH While this might help bring some extra money into the town’s coffers, Watters noted a certain number of transactions had to be reached before the town’s cut would kick in.

Murphy noted that, if the ATM proposal is approved, the town will enter into negotiations with the company to hammer out just how much of a take the town will get out of the transaction fees.

The machines would only take up a bit of floor space, and would require only the use of a power outlet.

“I don’t think it’s going to be anything significant,” said Murphy of any increase in electricity costs with the installation. “It will provide a service to the community centre.”

“What we’ve been doing up to now has been walking about two blocks to the Royal Bank,” said Watters of the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham.

He said people who live there know where the bank is, but it might be more difficult for visitors to find their way around.

The effort to find a new service provider was necessitated when Connie Murphy, the animal control bylaw enforcement officer for the towns of Mississippi Mills and Carleton Place, announced she would be resigning her post effective Jan. 18.

Murphy also provides pound services to Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills, as well as Perth, Beckwith, Tay Valley, Lanark Highlands and DrummondNorth Elmsley.

During a Lanark County CAO meeting last month, Mississippi Mills CAO Diane Smithson was chosen to accept expressions of interest from companies looking to provide pound facili-

ties for the affected Lanark municipalities.

“The pound is the problem because it has to meet all sorts of requirements and it’s too expensive for us to operate,” said Dalgity. Murphy’s pound currently handles more than 600 cats and dogs annually.

Requests for proposals for the three-year contract are currently available. Final applications are due by Wednesday, Jan. 19 at noon.

Halcrow wrote in her report that if the request for proposals is unsuccessful, the CAOs will look at the possibility of a county-operated pound.

Murphy’s decision also leaves

Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills without an animal control officer after Jan. 18.

“We have asked Diane Smithson to investigate amalgamating with other communities to share (services),” said Dalgity.

Dalgity noted Carleton Place does not appear interested in sharing animal control bylaw officer costs with Mississippi Mills.

According to Halcrow’s report, the town paid $13,546 for animal control and expenses in 2009.

“Staff is expecting that the animal control budget will increase significantly in 2011,” wrote Halcrow.

LETTER

All hail CPR

M-B library representative’s stand cleared up

Hydro One’s policy of training its staff in CPR and first aid has paid off big-time for an Arnprior woman.

Former Hydro One employee Chris Majaury made good use of his training last week to revive an Arnprior woman who was obviously in dire straits.

It was a timely lesson, given that people are making New Year’s resolutions this week.

It is a good time for companies and individuals to resolve to organize and take the training that can save lives both in the work place, at home and even on the street.

The free training provided by the County of Renfrew in various locations in the past couple of years has certainly helped.

So has the growing number of defibrillators in public buildings through the area.

One of the latest is a defibrillator in the Braeside R.A. Centre, a donation by the Dodge family in memory of their father, Bob Dodge who died in March.

Those type of donations are a wonderful expression of community service.

So are initiatives that help people avoid heart problems in the first place.

The Get Active program Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Arnprior District High School is a prime example. The community walking program was a big hit last winter and deserves support again this year.

The town’s youth recreation programmer Kayla Reinert is also working hard to encourage youth activities, such as the walkabouts that start this Saturday on the Macnamara Trail.

County paramedics are promoting exercise with their special summer walks, including the Stretch by the River in McNab-Braeside.

The Arnprior Optimists, the Fitzroy Community Association, the Galetta Community Association and the Pakenham Frost festival organizers and many others are fostering good health by holding winter carnivals.

It’s up to the community to respond. Learn or refresh your CPR training, involve yourself in local healthy activity offerings and get out and enjoy winter.

Not everyone who collapses is lucky enough to have a taxi driver who knows CPR at their door.

LETTER

Humane society thanks To the editor: The Arnprior and District Humane Society extends our heartfelt thanks to the Arnprior and West Carleton community for the kindness and generosity extended to our animal shelter in 2010.

You are the reason our shelter animals are safe and warm tonight.

To our volunteers, a simple thank you is not enough to show our deep appreciation.

Without our cleaners, handymen, cat cuddlers, foster families, dog walkers, drivers and board members, we would not be capable of operating our shelter.

Thank you to all the groups and individuals that held fundraising events throughout the year.

We can’t express enough our gratitude for your kindness and thoughtfulness.

Every abused and stray animal that turns to us has hope for a better life and future because you care.

Everything we accomplish from lives we nurse back to health, animal abusers we bring to justice, to the animals we match with loving families is achieved together with all of you.

To have the means to offer food, medical attention and a safe haven is because of donations of money, supplies, and time.

As we prepare for the many animals coming through our door in 2011, we hope to see a continued and growing interest in supporting the Arnprior animal shelter.

We invite you to visit our website www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca to see the many pets we have available for adoption and in particular view our ‘Thanks’ section to see some of the wonderful people you have helped us this past year. Thank you.

To the editor: This letter is in response to an article in the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide dated Dec. 30.

Normally, I much prefer to discuss any misunderstandings face-to-face. However, you reported (and I quote): “her comments didn’t sit well with returning township library board member Dan Smith.”

I feel that the wrong impression has been left with your readers and I am compelled to respond. You have a responsibility to report the facts, and in this case you are misinformed.

I do feel that the agreement between McNab-Braeside township and the Town of Arnprior for library services is of significant benefit to the residents of the township, and I am on record with Mayor Mary Campbell to try to work to a continuation of that agreement.

For your information, the current agreement was due for renegotiation in 2010, but was extended to September 2011 at the request of the Town of Arnprior officials.

The recent Canadian economic stimulation program provided the funds from all three levels of government (federal, provincial, and the Town of Arnprior). Some very significant donations and bequests came from citizens, who saw the need for the various programs that are part of the library.

The 2010 APL expansion program brings to fruition a conception that was visualized in 1990 when the current building was constructed. The lower level was always considered to be available for expansion.

Sure, it would be nice and easier to manage if it was all on one floor, but funds to expand were not available until recently, and no land was available for outward expansion on one level. Mayor Campbell is absolutely correct to expect evidence of value to the McNab-Braeside taxpayers. Council must rationalize all expenditures.

A review of APL cost statements will show that staffing is a significant operating cost. However, the statements do not cover library infrastructure or maintenance.

I contend that APL is well managed by the new chief librarian, Karen DeLuca, and the volunteer board of directors and chairman are always available to help to achieve the mandate.

There’s no place like home

BY GILLES LANTEIGNE CEO, Champlain CCAC

MP defending riding in the wrong ways To the editor: I see our MP is warning “only a Conservative Member of Parliament in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke will protect jobs that come with military procurements” such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter airplane.

This party claimed in the 2008 election that only a Conservative government would stop the Canadian economy going into a recession. And that a Conservative government would never go into deficit.

In other words, their words are not reliable.

Personally, I’d be more impressed with our MP’s concern if she had not stymied the Ottawa River’s heritage designation, damaging our tourism industry. Or she had spoken up about the imminent sale of AECL, which puts thousands of high-

per cent transitioned to regular CCAC home-care services, 20 per cent went to other locations such as retirement homes, and only 23 per cent entered long-term care facilities.

In the last six months, another 100 patients have transitioned from hospital to home.

In the coming months, Home First will continue to be rolled out across the Champlain region. To date, several CCACs across Ontario, including Mississauga Halton, Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant, North East and Central East, have also adopted Home First and seen the benefits first hand. While Home First isn’t the only remedy for the back-log of ALC patients in hospital and wait lists for longterm care, it is definitely a positive step forward.

Along with additional programs, which further support the transitioning of patients from hospital to home, the Champlain CCAC is striving to not only help improve the quality of life for our seniors, but to also make acute and other types of in-patient care beds more readily available to those who need them year-round.

Gilles Lanteigne is the CEO of the Champlain CCAC. The Champlain CCAC provides a single point of access to health and personal support services to help people live independently in their homes or to facilitate their transition into a long term care home. The CCAC plans, coordinates and ensures the delivery of a full-range of in home and communitybased services to support clients and their caregivers.

paying jobs in the riding at risk as well as undermining an international centre of scientific excellence.

Or she had defended the railway that the county might lose. Or she had spoken up for the forestry industry. Or she had delivered on some programs that our farmers desperately need. In other words, I wish she was serious about representing the people of this riding.

What we need is a responsible government to assess what our military requirements are and then follow prudent financial procedures to ensure the Canadian tax payer gets value.

As the Auditor-General warned recently, we should not through poor management have doubled the cost of the two types of helicopters that still haven’t arrived. And we don’t want to be paying $36 billion for airplanes we may not need.

Continued from Page 8 It is my feeling that a library services agreement with Arnprior does indeed offer significant value. The library is a public building, and the facilities and programs are made available to residents of Arnprior, McNab-Braeside and any neighbouring municipality, which contracts for library services.

I have found that the management and

Back in 1959, singer Perry Como introduced a holiday song about family, comfort and sanctuary that has become a tradition over the years when he crooned: “There’s no place like home for the holidays.”

In Ontario’s health care system, we need to adopt the same refrain and ideals for our seniors’ population, not just during the festive season, but all year around. A positive step forward is Home First, an innovative philosophy of care being introduced in hospitals across the eastern Ontario region in cooperation with the Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCAC).

Over the past year, it’s given the phrase “no place like home” new meaning by changing the way we look at hospitalization for our frail, elderly seniors.

Home First isn’t a cure to the health care challenges facing us as our senior population continues to grow, but it is a proactive initiative that can promote quality of life, help free up scare hospitals beds and shorten wait lists for longterm care homes.

By helping facilitate the flow of patients through the health care system, the Home First approach will also help to decrease the number of Alternative Level of Care (ALC) patients (those who no longer require acute care, but remain in hospital awaiting a move to palliative care, rehabilitation beds or long-term care facilities).

With Home First, our goal is to help these people get “from hospital to

home” and receive the most appropriate care in the most appropriate setting.

Often, our frail seniors who need acute care end up with lengthy hospitalizations that can lead to placement in a long-term care facility. Studies have shown extended hospital stays can have significantly negative consequences for patients and we know it can lead to the unnecessary deconditioning and loss of independence.

By giving those frail seniors who qualify for Home First enhanced personal home-care support (such as assistance with bathing and eating, nursing, occupational therapy, social work and more), we are helping them remain at home in a more comfortable setting. These services can also give them the time and opportunity to plan at home with their family regarding their future care options, which may include long-term care. With its proactive approach, Home First represents a cultural shift in patient care since it begins the moment a frail, elderly senior is admitted to hospital.

Through our partnerships with the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), area hospitals, community support agencies and our CCAC home care service providers, CCAC case managers can create a personalized care plan for each patient that leads to a smooth transition from hospital to home. When we piloted Home First last year, 70 ALC patients waiting for long-term care placement in the Champlain region were able to return to their homes. Of these clients, 44

The Town of Mississippi Mills’ popular line dancing classes will be expanded to Pakenham this month.

The first series of classes have just wrapped up for the season, and to celebrate, instructor Hyacinth Chatterton of Arnprior decided to bring some highsteppin’ talent into the Almonte General Hospital (AGH) and Fairview Manor.

“Let’s spread some cheer,” said Chatterton after her class concert in the hospital’s Rosamond wing at the AGH Dec. 15. Later that same evening, the class returned to entertain the residents of the Fairview Manor.

The impetus for teaching a line-dancing class came about through a chance conversation with Calvin Murphy, the town’s recreation co-ordinator.

“You know, line dancing has not been offered here for a while,” she told Murphy.

So, the process began to set up classes for line-dancing in Almonte. While Chatterton wanted to maintain the dance styles’ country and western roots, she also wanted to emphasize that it had moved on from beyond the old twangy stuff.

“When we had our ads going in August, I emphasized that we used the modern stuff, Michael Buble, the Bee Gees, Latin music” as well as country and western.

“Line dancing has spread beyond country.”

About 50 people showed up for the first class back in October, but classes since then have averaged about 25 people per session.

“I’m very impressed with how the beginners are coming along,” said Chatterton. “I think that the recreation director (Calvin Murphy) was more surprised than I was.”

The classes will now be offered in Pakenham, starting next month.

“We hope we’ll be able to spread line dancing around,” she said.

While there are moves and directions for line dancing, Chatterton stressed that she does not want her classes or perfor-

mances to be too rigid.

“If you turn and you’re facing the wrong way, just given them (the other dancer) a high-five and move on,” she says of her instructions to her students.

“Do not get stressed out about dancing and keep smiling.”

Chatterton, born in Jamaica, used to live in Almonte but now calls Arnprior home. She began learning, and then teaching, line dancing for the past 12 years. For many years, Chatterton, now retired, was a school principal and educator.

She not only taught French as one of her subjects, but also line dancing as well.

“I got a lot more comments on my line dancing than on my French teaching. It must be a Valley thing,” she said.

She had to adapt some of the songs and dances though for her young students.

“Cowboy cha-cha might turn off the girls, so I changed the name to Cowboy meets Cowgirl,” she said.

The new classes for the line dancing classes will be offered in the upper hall of the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham, 112 MacFarlane St., on Thursdays from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., for nine weeks starting on Jan. 13.

Arnprior teams vie for Bell Capital Cup PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

A five-minute span in the third period proved costly for the Arnprior Packers in the Atom Major A division at the 12th annual Ottawa International Hockey Festival’s Bell Canada Cup last week.

The Atom Packers had a 5-3 lead when the CharLan Rebels notched three quick goals to pull out a 65 victory in the first game of the holiday tournament for both teams.

The Packers did bounce back to defeat Blizzard du Haut- Richelieu 5-2 before suffering an 8-2 setback to the Temiskaming Shores Wilson Puckhounds in the Arnprior club’s third game.

Jesse Dick led the way for Arnprior with five goals and three assists in the tournament.

Kurtis Malloch and Mitchell Ross added two goals, and Chad Cherry, Ethan McCormick and Cory Kippen singles.

Dick, Brayden Prince and Curtis Barr were the game’s most valuable players, while Ross, Malloch and Cherry received hardest worker honours.

Prince and Jacob Wilson shared Atom Packers netminding duties.

Ottawa Valley Silver Seven forward Liam Hawel, an Arnprior resident, loses his footing during a Dec. 31 Bell Capital Cup match versus the Niagara Falls Canucks. The Silver Seven gave up the first goal before roaring back for a 6-1 win. The Silver Seven went 2-2 during round-robin play but didn’t reach the playoffs.

The Arnprior Snipers turned in a fine effort in the Atom House B division at the Bell Capital Cup. The Snipers went 3-and0 to win their division but dropped a 4-0 decision to Loups des Collines in the playoff elimination round.

The Snipers turned back the Nepean Dark Devils 5-1, outlasted the Canterbury Crushers 1-0 on a Jared Wilson marker in the third period, and topped the Blackburn Stingers 4-

1.

Wilson led the Arnprior attack throughout with a six-goal performance.

Nolan McGregor added a pair, and Harley Smith and Connor Ogilvie singles.

Travis Wilson earned the shutout.

The two Wilsons, Smith and Carols Vallejos earned game MVP awards for the Snipers.

McGregor, Connor Ogilvie, Joel Ryan and Conor Dey were hardest workers.

Arnprior Wrestling Club members competing in Renfrew and Kingston tournaments this month include, in back from left, coach Laura Stellato, Joel Woodhouse, Brayden Miller, Adam Redpath, Rebecca Dolan, Darren Mayhew and Coach Kevin Mayhew; and in front Josh Woods, Tyler Pike and Jackson DeAbreu.

Impressive showing for wrestlers WENDY MAYHEW Arnprior Wrestling Club

Members of both the Arnprior Wrestling Club and Arnprior District High School competed in Renfrew last month.

For some members of the high school team, this tournament was the first of the season for them.

The tournament this year was smaller in numbers, but it did give most of the wrestlers at least two matches to put into practice what they have been learning for the last month.

The standings at the end of the tournament were as follows: Tyler Pike 3rd, Josh Woods 2nd, Darren Mayhew 1st, Joel Woodhouse 2nd, Adam Redpath 1st and Jackson DeAbreu 3rd.

Rebecca Dolan and Brayden Miller did not have any competitors in their weight classes, but Miler was able to have two exhibition matches with

wrestlers in other weight classes.

Coaches Kevin Mayhew and Laura Stellato were able to take note of strengths and weaknesses of the wrestlers and work with them the following week to prepare for the Kingston Tournament.

Six members of the Arnprior District High School competed in the Kingston meet.

This tournament had many competitors who will be facing each other during the February’s EOSSAA tournament that determines which wrestlers will complete at OFSSA in March. There were wrestlers from Arnprior, Renfrew, Peterborough, Montreal and Port Perry, just to name a few.

Joel Woodhouse was in a weight class with five wrestlers and one of them was his teammate Brayden Miller. Each of them had a win before meeting each other. The end result was Miller finishing with a 3rd

place and Woodhouse a 4th place.

Jackson DeAbreu was one of 10 wrestlers in his weight class and he had four matches with two wins and two losses, which placed him in 5th spot.

Tyler Pike was one of three and after losing his first match he won his second and finished in 2nd place. Rebecca Dolan was one of two and with two close matches finished in 2nd place. Darren Mayhew was one of nine in his weight class and with two wins and a loss he was able to finish in 2nd place against a wrestler from Port Perry.

Coach Kevin Mayhew was very pleased with the way all the wrestlers competed and saw better completion of moves during wrestling in Kingston.

Tournaments are starting up again in the new year in Ottawa for both elementary and high school ages and Peterborough for the high school wrestlers.

Junior Redmen to cohost tourney The high-flying Arnprior District High School junior boys basketball team will look to add to its laurels this weekend when they cohost the annual Raider-Redmen Tournament.

The games will take place at both RCI and ADHS starting Friday (Jan. 7) at 4 p.m. The Arnprior team, which won a Brockville tournament in December, will play Picton at 4 p.m., Rideau of Ottawa at 5:30 p.m. and St. Mike’s of Kemptville at 10:30 a.m. Saturday in Pool A action.

Pool B teams include RCI, Brockville,

Opeongo and Widdifield of North Bay. The semi-finals (1:30, 3 p.m.) will be held in the ADHS gym, as will be the final at 5:15 p.m.

The Juniors, led by Mike Shoveller, Jaegar Prot and Cody Moore, also played two regular season home games this week. They beat Opeongo 60-25 Tuesday as Prot scored 17 points and Moore added 11.

They opened the season with two lopsided away victories over Jeanne-Lajoie and Fellowes in Pembroke.

PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

It doesn’t seem like a full year since the Arnprior Packers faced any Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League opposition.

Actually, it’s been only a couple of weeks, but it was in 2010.

The Packers pry open the 2011 portion of the Valley Division schedule with two games at the Nick Smith Centre this weekend.

The encounters with the Stittsville Royals and Pontiac Juniors represent the first half of a much welcomed four-game home stand.

The Royals are in town Friday at 8 p.m. while the Shawville contingent drops in Sunday.

It is a rare 8 p.m. start time for a Sunday night game.

The Packers enter the New Year with a 17-11-and2 record.

KRISTINE DEWAR Arnprior Curling Club

The Timbits Curling program began again this fall with 28 children registered in the Little Rocks division.

The kids come out to the club after school to learn the skills and techniques of Canada’s “other” winter sport, while dedicated instructors teach the children how to play while emphasizing how social a sport curling truly is.

The Arnprior Curling Club recently hosted the Timbits Curling Christmas Party.

Returning curlers played their final game in a mini-spiel with the team of the St. Marie Huskies winning the overall draw. Teammates Jesse O’Connor, Paige Dewar, Layne Dewar and Gwen Flegal worked together to bring their team to victory.

The newer members of the curling club continue to learn the skills of the game by being introduced to curling through skills challenges and mini-games each week.

If the Pembroke Lumber Kings weren’t already the oddson favourite to capture another Central Tier 1 Hockey League title, their stock just took another turn for the better with the return of Kyle Just to the lineup.

The Arnprior native stepped onto the ice and notched three goals Jan. 2 to lead the Kings past the Kemptville 73s by a convincing 6-1 count at the Pembroke Memorial Centre.

Just’s markers included the eventual game winner on a power-play to give Pembroke a 2-0 lead at the 15:14 mark of the first period. His second and third goals of the night came 2:36 apart in the last six minutes of the middle stanza before a crowd of 1,411.

It was Just’s first game action since being suspended from classes and the men’s hockey team at Mercyhurst College, pending the outcome of a sexual assault investigation in Erie, Pa., stemming from in November incident.

Pembroke’s bid for an unprecedented fifth consecutive CHL crown also received a big boost with the return of fellow Arnpriorite, defenceman Ben Reinhardt.

The Lumber Kings captain has returned to the lineup after missing 21 games with a knee injury.

Ski-cationing at home

Tammy Meagher much prefers the trails here in West Carleton to those in Gatineau and elsewhere.

Better forests, fewer cars, what more could an outdoors enthusiast want?

Newly expanded cross-country ski trails open at Fitzroy Provincial Park DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

A hidden gem in West Carleton is touted as a great way to keep the whole family fit and enjoying the great outdoors this winter.

The trails at Fitzroy Provincial Park have expanded by one-third this year, to 15 kilometres of fairly even paths through charming woods and picturesque vistas.

Some say they are the best in the national capital region and they are available to everyone in West Carleton.

“They’re much nicer than Gatineau Park. There are fewer roads and much more time in the bush,” said Tammy Meagher of the West Carleton Nordic Ski Club.

“It’s a long park with one challenging hill. But it’s not like you’d need a chair lift to get back to the parking lot.”

The club, in its 17th season, is volunteer-driven by those who simply enjoy the outdoors and spending time with family and friends. It offers both classic and skate skiing through the lovely forested trails for an annual membership fee of $85 per family. A donation of $5 per skier could be made at the box located near the parking lot of the province-owned park.

There is also a small cabin for rent for anyone looking for a weekend away. A special rate is available to members. Skiers are also asked to let the club know if they want to use the barbecue and washrooms at the clubhouse.

Renfrew County United Way (RCUW) presented cheques Dec. 9 totalling $10,338 to 10 food banks in Renfrew County.

Included was the Arnprior and District Food Bank.

“Food banks in the county are particularly hard pressed to meet the demand for food this year,” said Arnprior’s Cathi Fairfield, chairwoman for the United Way’s Funds distribution committee.

“The impact of the economic recession is hitting those living in poverty particularly hard and food banks are a good indicator of how much people are hurting in our communities.

“So my committee felt we needed to step up to the plate to do more than we’ve done in the past to help these food banks meet the increased demand.”

The funds given to the food banks are made possible through the generosity of many donors who respond to the United Way’s annual appeal for

Renfrew County United Way’s Cathi Fairfield presents $1,500 to Derek Ouellette, the lead programmer for Community Living’s summer camp.

United Way supports summer camps Representatives from nine of the 10 Renfrew County Food Banks were on hand to receive cheques from United Way Funds Distribution Committee chair Cathi Fairfield of Arnprior (far right). Receiving assistance are food banks from Arnprior, Renfrew, Cobden, Eganville, Algonquins of Pikwakanagan, Killaloe, Barry’s Bay, Pembroke and Deep River. The cheque was presented at the 2010 United Way Campaign Touchdown celebration Dec. 9 in Pembroke. assistance.

Unfortunately, the funds provided by the United Way are not able to meet all of the demand during the holidays or to sustain food bank operations on a year-round basis, noted Fairfield.

Any individuals and community groups who have not yet contributed to this need are urgently asked to contribute nonperishable food items or provide cash donations to their local food banks, said Fairfield.

Community Living Renfrew Country South received a $1,500 grant from Renfrew County United Way (RCUW) for its summer camp program.

The money helped sponsor the summer camp attended by about 30 individuals and their families.

Funds for such grants are raised during RCUW’s annual campaign, which ran from Sept. 1 to Dec. 9.

United Way supports several summer camps for Renfrew County children.

Among the camps are the Canadian Diabetes Association’s Camp Banting

for children with type 1 diabetes, the Darlene Aikens Memorial Summer Camp sponsored by Family and Children Services of Renfrew County, and Community Living Upper Ottawa Valley’s camp for children with developmental disabilities.

“The United Way − thanks to the ongoing generosity of people and businesses in our county − is proud to be a part of efforts to meet some of these high priority needs,” said Cathi Fairfield, Arnprior-based chairwoman of RCUW’s funds distribution committee.

Recognized for exemplary care - Making your health our priority

The New Year Brings a New Service to ADMH Keeping care close to home is important as it best serves patients and the community as a whole. We are pleased to announce a new service at ADMH especially targeted at diabetic patients. In partnership with the Ottawa Hospital’s Endocrinology Program, ADMH will now be able to provide specialist endocrinology consultation services. This will be through videoconferencing in the outpatient clinic area for patients referred by physicians or nurse practitioners from the Champlain LHIN. Emphasis will be placed on new referrals for diabetic patients but appointments will also be available for new and follow-up consultation for patients with other endocrine disorders. Dr. Phyllis Hierlihy will be the consulting physician for ADMH. The Endocrinology Telemedicine Program is just one of many telemedicine programs offered at ADMH to the residents of our growing and aging community. The other programs are (teledermatology, telepsychiatry and teleParkinson). All these programs permit patients to be treated in the community avoiding travel and the costs associated with it. The Endocrinology telemedicine program has an anticipated start date of January 21.

Diabetes is on the rise across Canada and in our catchment area. The community of Arnprior has in comparison to the provincial average high readmission rates for patients with diabetes. We are hopeful this telemedicine clinic will help reduce diabetic readmission rates and help patients affected to better manage and prevent future complications. Statistics Canada recently listed diabetes as the sixth-leading cause of death in the country, killing 7,394 people in 2007. It is also "contributing factor" in about 41,500 deaths each year as it leads to many other ailments, including heart disease and stroke. Further data from the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) show that 80 per cent of people with diabetes will die of a heart attack or stroke. Michael Cloutier, president of the CDA says that “80 per cent of the health-care costs associated with diabetes are for downstream complications. That would be heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, and amputations, just to name a few critical elements."

Patients are encouraged to speak with their family doctor about this program. All pre-clinic work up will be set up by your health care professional and Dr Hierlihy will review your patient chart prior to the appointment. Through videoconference, where both patient and doctor will see each other over a screen, they will proceed with the appointment. These telemedicine clinics will occur on Friday mornings at ADMH and a nurse will be with the patient for the duration of these appointments. A referral from your health care professional is required for this clinic. If you have questions please contact Cheryl Dalbec, Telemedicine Coordinator ADMH at 613-623-7962 x297 or via email urotherapy@arnpriorhospital.com

# 3637 Orson

# 3675 Jasper

Do you have a quiet home that would suit this shy kitty? Orson is a four-year-old neutered male who has been at the shelter since last January when he was found in White Lake. He is a quiet cat who can be shy until he knows you. Once he is comfortable with you he enjoys being petted and brushed and is quite affectionate. He gets along with other cats but would be best suited in a quiet adult home with no other pets. Orson is an indoor only cat.

This outgoing cat loves to explore. Jasper is a three-year-old neutered male who has been at the shelter since March when he was found here in town. He is an affectionate, friendly cat who is very curious. Jasper gets along well with other cats but can get a little rough when playing. He would be best suited in a home with older children and no dogs.

Jasper will require regular grooming with his long hair.

Supplies the shelter needs: non-clumping cat litter, bleach and window cleaner.

You can call the Arnprior and District Humane Society at 613-623-0916 between noon and 5 p.m Monday to Saturday or visit www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca

The Algonquin count is the most physically demanding count that I do because most of my assigned area can be accessed only by foot. My route stretches about 11 kilometres and is normally covered on snowshoe.

It is visually stunning for it takes me along the Madawaska River, which looks more like a large creek than a mighty river at this location.

The 30th annual bird count in West Carleton found more species than most years.

The Dunrobin-Breckenridge Christmas Bird Count, held Jan. 2, enlisted 50 field observers to spend most of the day outdoors tallying species and numbers of birds within a 12-kilometre radius of the count centre in Dunrobin.

Other volunteers contribute by noting the birds that come to their backyard feeders on the day of the count.

This year 57 species where found. The average is 50, with the record of a few years back reaching 68.

Organizer Bruce Di Labio of Carp, who has participated in bird counts for the last 40 years, was impressed with the turnout of volunteers and variety of species.

“It went very well considering the weather conditions, the lack of snow, it went very well,” he said. “There were even a couple of record highs.”

Among the record highs were the number of barred owls spotted, nine, and the number of great blue herons, at two. Among the late lingerers this year was a brown thrasher and a red winged blackbird.

Di Labio said weather

conditions play a major factor in the count.

If a blizzard occurs on the count day, many birds will be in hiding. If food availability is low, birds won’t be found either.

He said another factor that proves a challenge to birders is the lack of back roads. It used to be, before many West Carleton roads were paved, that a birder could park along the side of a dirt road and hop out to start looking around.

That aside, Di Labio remains a huge fan of the hobby, saying it’s a great way to meet wonderful people, and enjoy the outdoors.

“Birding is a great challenge both mentally and physically,” he said. “You have to be very open-minded and prepared to think outside the box.”

Di Labio doesn’t appear to have trouble thinking outside the box. Of the 350 species known in Eastern Ontario, he has spotted 328. But it is the blackcapped chickadee that remains his favourite, even after all these years.

“When I was about eight or nine I saw one at my cottage in Constance Bay,” he said.

“From that moment I was hooked.”

Between Cache Lake and Lake of Two Rivers, the Madawaska flows through a valley that stretches into a large meadow. Each year a section of water remains open and each year I faithfully scan it for a stray duck or heron.

I also hope to see an exciting bird of prey, such as a Northern Hawk Owl, perched atop one of the spindly spruce decorating the meadow.

This year produced the same results as all previous dozen counts – nary a

The Pine Marten briefly stood up on its hind legs before disappearing back under the tree. A few seconds passed then, unexpectedly, the tree-climbing weasel appeared right behind me.

After discerning that I was not an injured meal, the Marten silently scampered away, its oversized hind feet easily keeping it atop the snow.

I may not have seen a lot of birds that day (my list of 19 species totaled fewer than 100 birds), but as always I had a most memorable outing.

When you wander through Christmas-card scenery and have a close encounter with a Pine Marten, you cannot feel unfulfilled!

A familiar sight at feeders, the Black-capped Chickadee enjoys suet and sunflower seeds during the winter months.

However, I had a wonderful surprise when squeaking near a group of spruces. A head suddenly popped out from under one of those delightful smelling trees.

The creature had a fox-like appearance, with pointed nose and ears. But it was small, and its reddish-brown pelage stopped short of its face, which was a contrasting gray.

bird was visible.

But there were birds encountered in the trees along the shore.

Two Gray Jays quietly floated in while a Black-backed Woodpecker chirped from atop a spindly Black Spruce.

After a few minutes the jays vanished into a thick patch of spruce and began to noisily scold. Shortly after the ruckus began, a Northern Shrike, a songbird with the killer beak of a hawk, went flitting by.

Although the seed crop is low this year in Algonquin (as it is in our area), occasionally a small flock of White-winged Crossbills or Common Redpolls livened the cloudy skies with their chatter.

Equally infrequent were small groups of chickadees that seemed more intent on finding food than responding to my calls.

I use two types of calls when looking for birds: pishing and squeaking.

Pishing is done by repeatedly going “psshh, psshh, psshh.”

Squeaking is done by loudly kissing the back of my fingers on one hand.

The latter is one used to attract predatory birds such as hawks and owls. None responded that day.

Driver arrested on 17 A Mississippi Mills driver has been charged with impaired driving after OPP responded to a complaint of erratic driving on Highway 17 in McNab-Braeside Jan. 2.

Renfrew OPP report that at about 10:50 p.m., they received a complaint concerning an erratic eastbound driver near Scheel Drive.

The vehicle was stopped on Highway 17 at White Lake Road.

Following a conversation with the driver, the 50-year-old man was placed under arrest. After breath tests at the detachment, he was charged with impaired driving and driving over 80 mgs.

He was released on a promise to appear in Renfrew court Feb. 2. OPP Constable John Birmingham investigated.

It was one of 163 calls the Renfrew OPP

Detachment responded to last week.

Ten of the calls involved domestic disputes with five people being charged.

One woman was charged with assault.

A man was charged with assault, mischief, dangerous driving and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.

One man was charged with assault and mischief and another with two counts of uttering threats. Finally, a man was charged with assault, mischief and unauthorized possession of a weapon.

No criminal offences occurred in the other five disputes.

RIDE programs take 42 drivers off Ontario’s roads The Ontario Provincial Police Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving everywhere) program in Eastern Ontario has wrapped up with some sobering results.

“It is disturbing that people continue to get behind the wheel after drinking,” said Chief Superintendent Gary Couture, Commander of the OPP’s Eastern Region. “Our officers removed 42 impaired drivers from the roads over the holiday season and there were no fatal motor vehicle collisions in the region involving impaired drivers.”

OPP officers across Eastern Ontario checked 167,878 vehicles between Nov. 26 and Jan. 2.

There were 42 impaired driving/over-80/refusal charges laid, 75 warnings (licence suspensions) issued, and 1,090 tickets meted out for other Criminal Code, Highway Traffic Act and Liquor Licence offences.

There was one fatal motor vehicle collision in Russell County which did not involve an impaired driver.

The OPP thanks everyone who made the right choice to not get behind the wheel after drinking.

OPP officers across Eastern Ontario will continue to conduct RIDE programs throughout the year in an effort to keep highways safe.

Watch for wildlife on roads The Ottawa Police Service is warning drivers to continue to be vigilant in watching for deer and other animals on local roads.

In the final deer collision count for 2010, West Carleton reported six deerrelated collisions in the last week of the

year to make the total 35 for 2010.

There were also several deer-vehicle collisions in the Renfrew-Arnprior area and several close calls.

Motorists report deer crossing Highway 17 in several spots including near the Calabogie and O’Brien intersections.

With a new year, comes new resolutions. We want everyone to achieve those resolutions so we have a lot to offer.

Resolution 1 - Learn something new.

For high school students only, we have a Zumba class starting Jan. 12, running for 10 weeks every Wednesday from 5 to 6 p.m. at A.J. Charbonneau. The cost for 10 weeks is $70. Register for that at the Nick Smith Centre.

For boys, we have a breakdancing class Monday, March 7.

Register now to learn some hot moves! Cost is $5, but free with the Community Access Pass.

Resolution 2 - Feel better about yourself.

Resolution 5 - Spend more time with friends While this could be a program to get fit or learn something new, we decided it was a perfect time to spend more time with friends.

On the PA Day, Jan. 31, come to Mont Cascades for a day of skiing and boarding. This trip is for all ages, with priority given to

youth. Because the Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport is sponsoring the cost of busing, we are fortunate to not have to charge. The cost for a lift pass and bus is $15, way cheaper than

everywhere else. Lessons and rentals are also available if you wish for $10 each.

So register early as space is limited. If you would like more information, you can contact the

‘Love your body’ sessions offered Arnprior self-esteem coach and consultant Jen Charbonneau is offering ‘How to Love Your Body and Live Your Life’ on four Thursday evenings starting Jan. 13.

The weekly sessions teach women how to look beyond food and body weight and “embrace the life you were meant to live,

free from self-imposed restrictions.”

Charbonneau will share insights and techniques about food, body weight, self-worth and beauty.

Charbonneau insists diets never work. Instead the key to healthy living is self-awareness, she says.

“It’s not your body that needs changing, it’s your

beliefs.”

The sessions, which will be limited to 10 participants, run from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 13, 20 and 27 and Feb. 3 at 168 Third Ave. in Arnprior.

The cost is $100.
