EMC News – It was a deadly weekend for snowmobilers in the region. A 31-year-old West Carleton man is dead and a 27-year-old Pakenham area man is in serious condition in two separate collisions on the Ottawa and Madawaska rivers. As well, there were reports three snowmobilers were hurt when three machines collided near Calabogie. Joe Leafloor, a prominent member of the MacLaren’s Landing community, was killed Saturday night when his snowmobile hit a bank along the Ottawa River on the Quyon side across from his home (see story Page 2). The night before, the Pakenham man suffered serious head injuries when the snowmobile he was driving crashed into an ice shack on Madawaska Lake early Saturday morning. The man was transported to an Ottawa hospital in critical condition after his snowmobile hit the ice-fishing hut on the Madawaska head pond southeast of Arnprior. The OPP and paramedics from both Ottawa and Renfrew County responded to the crash. See ‘ICE SHACK’ Page 2

Tourist centre makes budget list Grove explores ideas for expansion By DEREK DUNN

The Arnprior Bluefish Swim Club has instituted a new awards program, among other changes.

EMC News - Arnprior Council gave a lukewarm reception Monday to the idea of paying for a tourist information centre, but agreed to consider it during next week’s budget deliberations. A committee made up of members of the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce (GACC), business improvement area (BIA), and Town of Arnprior want the town to contribute up to $25,000 to create the centre. The GACC will operate the centre, which will be located downtown, staffing it from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., six days a week, 50 weeks of the year. The proposal stems from suggestions made by the First Impressions Community Exchange, which saw Kemptville visitors explore the town with an eye to improving it. According to a report written by planner Robin Smith, the visitors would like to make it easier for tourists to gather information. “There were several areas identified as

needing improvement to help advance the economic viability of the town,� Smith wrote. “One of those areas was the visibility of the Chamber and BIA and tourist information in general.� They noticed no one was available at the municipal centre during lunch hour; economic development didn’t have an office or a place to meet and discuss investment opportunities; and the library was the only downtown spot with public washrooms; and others. The town’s community improvement and tourism advisory committee (CITAC) is proposing the idea, saying it will increase business opportunities, draw tourists downtown, build on partnerships in town and fulfill goals in various documents created by the town. Several locations are available for lease, with the GACC offering office furniture, supplies and management. The CITAC is counting on volunteers providing tourist information to reduce staff costs.

By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News - “It takes a town to help a person grow old with grace.� That sentiment from Julie Bessant Pelech, who oversaw two public brainstorming meetings last week on possible expansion of the Grove Nursing Home, was at the heart of many suggestions. New provincial standards will force the nursing home to expand and upgrade rooms, washroom facilities and other areas. But the changes can’t be made in the existing building alone. Another will need to be built, likely attached to the existing one. While Pelech, a consulting gerontologist, said she and nursing home management won’t reduce the overall number of beds - most modern designs of such facilities puts the number at 32 per building - gaining new beds isn’t simply a matter of pointing to a lengthy wait list.

West Carleton man killed in snowmobile crash near Quyon By THERESA FRITZ, DEREK DUNN

Pontiac region as well as other areas in western Quebec, reported Leafloor was attempting a u-turn and crashed into some trees around 9:30 p.m. He was pronounced dead some time later in hospital in Shawville. The investigation is continuing and post-mortem results are not expected for several days. Friends at Leafloor’s side during his remaining moments included Brett Hamilton, Paul Basile, Chris and Shelly Costello, and Shelly’s fiancée Jeff Instead. The Costellos were as calm as they could be under the circumstances, and since Chris is well-trained in

EMC News – A winter pastime turned deadly for a West Carleton resident last weekend, leaving friends and family mourning a man with a zest for life. After a day of ice fishing on the Ottawa River near MacLaren’s Landing where he grew up and lived, Joe Leafloor, 31, and some friends headed out for a ride along the river bank near Quyon, Quebec. It was dark and Leafloor was leading the way when he crashed his snowmobile. His fellow riders found him unconscious. MRC des Collines, the police service which covers the

CPR he managed to keep Leafloor alive for about 45 minutes until the rescue crew arrived. Hamilton worked the cellphone to contact 911, but the feeling that they were in the darkness, far from anywhere, weighed heavy. “He still had a pulse. You just felt helpless out on the river,” Hamilton said. “Chris was doing CPR. We did everything we could for him. And he still had a pulse when police came. Then the pulse faded.” Hamilton said his close friend since childhood had five or six different groups of friends, and that people are flying in from all parts of North America and beyond to be near the family this week. Leafloor’s parents, Tom and Dianne, were on their way to Florida when the tragedy occurred and were making the grim trip home as of press time. His brother, Derek, is flying in from Thailand this week. “I must have answered 40 emails in the last couple of days, and the phone won’t stop ringing off the hook. People

want to know what happened,” Hamilton said. “He was a good guy and a big, big loss.” Leafloor enjoyed the outdoors and the big boy toys often associated with a rural lifestyle. His new snowmobile was among JOE LEAFLOOR the fastest on the market; he rode a Seadoo; liked fishing; was in excellent shape and was an accomplished soccer player in his youth. He liked playing with kids, and was also popular. Hamilton can’t bear to look at the ice shack they built together, let alone return to fish and watch hockey like they often did with other friends on their Tuesday night outings. He remains shocked and upset, as are all friends and family in the hamlet along the Ottawa River, but he said Leafloor should have heeded the advice of many

who told him to keep safety in mind. “He was the most happy-go-lucky, positive, friendly guys. He wouldn’t sit tight,” Hamilton said. “He was told many times to be very careful about the snowmobile. But he liked to go fast. A lot of people do. I’ve had five friends die over the years. Only certain ones listen.” Hamilton, a father, said when a man knows he has other people depending on him, his life changes. Leafloor hadn’t reached the stage where you slow down and second guess decisions. He had recently started a business, bought a company truck, a new car and a home next to one of his best friends, but was still enjoying life to the fullest. “Sometimes we don’t make the best decisions,” Hamilton said. “Some things we regret, and can’t take back.” Hamilton is upset with 911 dispatchers on the Quebec side who spoke little English and even hung up on him twice when he asked for a helicopter. Leafloor’s parents are planning a celebration of their son’s life Feb. 4 at the Kinburn Community Centre at 7 p.m.

A snowmobile slammed through an ice shack on the east end of the Madawaska headpond.

Continued from front Mississippi Mills fire chief Art Brown said his fire department was called at 1:19 a.m. and responded with half a dozen firefighters. However, the victim was being loaded into an ambulance when they arrived, so they were not needed. The hut owner, Marty Desarmia of Carleton Place, has been ice fishing on the lake for 10 years and has his ice hut in that spot for the past five. Fortunately, no one was in the hut at the time of the incident. Desarmia’s son was going to go to the hut that night with four or five friends, but they opted to play hockey instead. OPP and Ottawa Police are investigating the incident. In all, five snowmobilers were killed in Quebec on the weekend. The death toll for snowmobilers in the OttawaGatineau area has risen to 11 this winter, despite there being a slow start to the snowmobiling season.

Riverview Drive homeowners must build own fence By DEREK DUNN

derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – Riverview Drive homeowners who asked for the town or a new developer to build a fence across their backyards won’t get one, Arnprior council decided at Monday’s meeting. Council chambers were full at the Jan. 9 meeting with residents upset that a planned Fourth Avenue subdivision would bring more pedestrians to the area. The worry was that trespassing

across their collectively-owned private property at rear of their yards would become a problem. This week staff told council that it would be “precedent-setting” to force a developer to build a fence between properties with similar uses. “Staff is concerned that the requirement for the developer to provide a fence in this instance would be precedent-setting,” planner Robin Smith wrote in the report. “While the existence of a rightof-way on the abutting properties is

unusual, there does not appear to be a justification for putting the cost of fencing on the developer as property owners have the right to fence their own properties. Therefore, staff does not recommend requiring a fence to be installed at the cost of the developer.” Smith went on to suggest homeowners install a fence at their own expense; install ‘No Trespassing’ signs; or give up the right-of-way, with guidance from a lawyer. A letter from the town will be sent

to affected Riverview Drive homeowners. A couple who asked the town to pay and build the fence, Mark and Jennifer Cloutier, could not be reached for comment. Neither council nor staff discussed the suggestion. PUBLIC WALKWAY The town will build a public walkway on a six-metre wide strip of land to link municipally-owned lands

fronting on Seventh Avenue with a sidewalk. It will be paved and a chain-linked fence installed on both sides, between house numbers 55 and 57. It will be paid-for by the developer, Dave Simpson. Staff referred to the town’s official plan, which encourages pedestrian linkages between parklands – including the ABBA ball diamonds – and to encourage less driving. There is no plan to build a similar pathway on a smaller strip of land nearby.

Downtown or near highway: council debates best spot for tourist centre Continued from front The $50,000 first-year costs would also see 25 per cent ($12,500) from the GACC and 25 per cent from the BIA. Both groups have agreed to support a five-year commitment in funding. “Basically, we need to make more of a downtown presence,” Smith concluded. COUNCILLORS WARY Coun. Dan Lynch supports council discussing the $25,000 being included in the town’s 2012 budget, but said locating the tourist information centre in one of the gateways to town – either near PJ’s Restaurant or at the No Frills strip mall would be better. Reeve Walter Stack said he fails to understand how a downtown location will lure peo-

ple into the core. He said the “booth” should be closer to the highway. Tourists would need signs telling them it is downtown, it was noted. “You need to get them off the highway,” Stack said. “I don’t know how a downtown location will get them to come in.” Coun. Lynn Grinstead, CITAC chairwoman, defended the plan by saying the BIA won’t contribute funds unless it is located downtown. And that it couldn’t be in the library because it isn’t open Sundays. She agreed signage will be needed. Stack added signage is expensive and other costs will need to be factored in. “I’m not sold on the downtown location yet,” he said. Coun. Ted Strike went further, saying the downtown isn’t the proper place, and that it is

“self-serving for a particular area.” He added that business owners will have to pay through the business groups and as private homeowners. Coun. Mark Willmer agreed that discussing it during budget deliberations is a good thing, but that “getting them off the highway is one thing.” Any plan will require signs from Daniel and Madawaska streets directing tourists to John Street. Strike suggested money could be saved by bringing back a trailer in storage and setting it up in a parking lot near the new overpass. “That option should be explored,” he said. “There are too many things that aren’t getting well (discussed).” Mayor David Reid said the town is hiring an economic development officer at about

$50,000, a community improvement plan at $35,000, a downtown revitalization plan will be put in place, and millions of dollars will be spent on signage. “We have some serious challenges,” Reid said. “There are other priorities that may be important. But I will consider this.” BUDGET MEETING

Council starts budget talks Jan. 30, focusing on the operating budget. Jan. 31 will see more operating budget presentations from various departments; Feb. 1 is set for capital budget presentations; Feb. 7 is for operating budget deliberations; Feb. 8 is operating and capital budget deliberations; with Feb. 21 proposed for a special council meeting to approve the 2012 budget.

Multi-purpose Grove ‘more than just beds’ Continued from front It means taking about $25,000 per bed in funding from outside the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) to put in a county that is considered “overbedded” already, Pelech said. “The Grove can’t just go out and build more beds. There are only a certain number of licences available,” she said. “The reality is Renfrew County is already overbedded. It’s not evenly dispersed (most are at Miramichi Lodge in Pembroke), but getting more beds is not necessarily a slam dunk.” Then there is the political will. The Liberals ran and won the last election on keeping seniors in their homes as long as possible, not on building more nursing beds as the Conservatives and NDP promised. But government recognizes building in pods of 32 is the new standard and will likely approve four new beds, according to Arnprior District Memorial Hospital and Grove CEO Eric Hanna and board chairman Jay Johnston. Bed numbers aside, planners are looking for feedback on services the community may want. Many clients are in their late 80s, at lower income levels than would allow for staying at private nursing homes, and have high needs. About 80 per cent have some form of dementia. Maintaining a balance between safety and creating a homey feel is important, Johnston said. But he will reserve commenting on specifics until the results of the meetings are discussed at an upcoming board meeting. “It’s about human lives and capital resources,” Johnston said. “We can’t be all things to all people.” However, the nursing home would like to attract more clients – possibly to the expanded day or overnight programs.

When the larger rooms are created, would it be useful to also have: • more nooks for private gatherings with family and friends; • a seniors specific gymnasium; • a spa; • double rooms for couples; • offices for specialties such as foot doctors and dentists; • seniors’ health clinics; • seniors housing with enhanced services? Pelech said modern nursing homes don’t have space for the Grove’s auditorium or the stand-alone chapel. The auditorium will likely be converted to a seniors’ centre, the dining room could be expanded to accommodate more wheelchairs and other attributes that reflect a population that is aging longer, but it is unclear if the chapel will stay. “Clearly the Grove can’t be the be-all and end-all,” Pelech said. “(The expansion) will contribute to meeting the needs, not eradicate the problem.” However, Hanna left the door open for keeping both the auditorium and chapel, while maintaining that all ideas remain on the table. Who or what organization would run the seniors’ centre hasn’t been explored, but the nursing home faces significant challenges if it wants to become something of a hub for elderly people in Arnprior. First off, it is a nursing home, and as such many at the meetings said it is a place most people want to avoid. Nursing homes are seen as cold institutions where people go to die. Even staff at the Grove recognize the perception, though they try as much as they can to create a positive, uplifting atmosphere. However, Hanna is quick to refer to it as a “multi-purpose” building offering a

number of programs. “It’s more than 60 beds,” Hanna said. “The Grove is a provider of care for seniors. It does respite, the day program, assisted living. It’s a multi-purpose organization.” Another problem is location. Down near a wetland, with a forest on one side and the back of a subdivision on the other, any organizations that would consider running the seniors centre must know that low visibility would cause a challenge on the marketing front. If the Grove project is selected, after the provincial program is made available again, it has to be ready to put shovels in the ground. Which is why public meetings were held last week. But Pelech is careful to say it would be another five years or more before the renovations would be complete. She said every effort would be made to do the work as quickly as possible, knowing that if construction took two years – that might be the last two years of some clients’ lives. And no one wants people disrupted that way. Funding would have to come equally from the province, Grove debt-serving and through community fundraising. Pelech asked those at the meetings what could be done to “rally the community”? Many said the community is feeling donor fatigue after raising money for the recent hospital renovations, but that Arnprior is known as a town that gives generously. The Grove itself was created and paid for by residents. Findings from the meetings, which also included opinions from staff, will go to the board for consideration. Johnston said another round of public consultations will take place after that. Anyone with suggestions is asked to contact Hanna at 613-623-3166.

Arnprior ‘engaged’ in planning future of the Grove Last week consultations were held with a wide variety of community stakeholders as part of the preliminary phases of work in the Grove Redevelopment Options Study. Grove officials are also asking municipal councils for input. Grove and Arnprior Memorial District Hospital CEO Eric Hanna and board chairman Jay Johnston made a presentation to McNab-Braeside council Tuesday. In a news release Wednesday, the Grove Nursing Home explained that community seniors, caregivers and senior’s service providers as well as families, staff and leadership of the Grove participated in various open forum sessions. While consultations are not complete, more than 40 people have participated in the process to date. The consultation process represents an important component in the analysis of gaps in services to seniors in and around Arnprior, says the Grove. The service gaps will identify opportunities for further consideration as part of the Grove redevelopment project. The Grove is a 30-year-old building. Its bedrooms, washrooms, dining room and lounge spaces no longer meet the building design standards of the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care (MOHLTC). As such, the Grove is eligible for some capital funding to redevelop its existing 60 beds under the MOHLTC Capital Renewal Program. The Board of Directors commissioned the Grove Redevelopment Options Study to provide recommendations on how best to redevelop the existing 60 beds. The mandate of the study also includes the investigation of service expansion opportunities that can realistically contribute to meeting the needs of seniors as well as support the feasibility of the redevelopment project and the long-term viability of the Grove. As the Redevelopment Options Study evolves, the Board of Directors will consider the stakeholder input, and the analyses and recommendations of the Options Study in their deliberations. The Board will ultimately approve a preferred direction for the redevelopment project; a direction that is achievable and sustainable. Johnston chair of the board of directors noted that: “the Board of Directors is committed to maintaining its services to the seniors of Arnprior and surrounding area into the future and is grateful to the consultation participants who so willingly and expertly shared their opinions, experiences and ideas for seniors’ services.”

Public invited to M-B-MTO meeting JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

EMC News - The campaign to have stop lights erected at Highway 17 and Calabogie Road is among the topics to be on the agenda next Tuesday, Jan. 31 at a meeting between the provincial Ministry of Transportation and McNabBraeside council. The public is welcome at the meeting, which will be held at 9 a.m. in the McNab-Braeside council chambers. Mayor Mary Campbell said the MTO has studied the stop lights requested by McNabBraeside, and supported by Horton and Greater Madawaska. Officials will present the study at the meeting. Council has heard that the Campbell Drive ramp off Highway 417 when the fourlaning reaches there has been changed from the original design, so would like to know if that is so, she added. Council also has questions regarding signage during construction. It would like to have better signs to help out local businesses, she explained. Campbell also questioned the location of the Arnprior sign along the highway near Scheel Drive. It gives motorists the impression that Campbell Drive is an access to Arnprior, she said. Council has also requested a hearing with Transportation Minister Bob Charelli for Mayor Campbell and public works committee chairman Bob Campbell at the Good Roads convention in late February to discuss the lights request for the Highway 17County Road 508 intersection. Horton Mayor Don Eady and Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon have indicated they would also like to attend.

Town considers paying businesses to upgrade properties By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News - During upcoming budget liberations Arnprior councillors will consider putting money into programs to encourage private business landowners to improve rundown properties. The programs will see owners receive grants or reduced tax levels as an incentive to fix up their properties, improving the town’s appearance to visitors and resulting in higher tax assessments in future. Council will control which programs get the money, and how much is put into each. The amount is expected to reflect council’s budget priorities, which in turn are usually based on election commitments and knowledge gained on the job According to a staff report by Robin Smith, other municipalities contribute a wide range of funding, from $20,000 to over $500,000 each year. Even small municipalities, similar to Arnprior, provide

anywhere from $20,000 to $200,000. “However, $20,000 to $30,000 is a typical annual incentive fund budget for small municipalities,” Smith wrote, adding consultant MMM Group suggested a minimum of $35,000 in the first year, on a first-come, first-serve basis. The money would go to the following financial incentives programs: • façade and property improvement program; • heritage property improvement program; • downtown housing improvement program; • application and permit fees refund program; • tax increase-based equivalent rebate program; • Brownfields financial tax incentive program. Reeve Walter Stack pointed to businesses that have already renovated their buildings before the programs are in place. He also said the focus on improving downtown businesses will “disadvantage” those along Madawaska Boulevard, Daniel Street and elsewhere.

“I’m still going to have a problem with supporting this in general,” Stack said. Smith agreed the focus will be on the downtown, but also at gateways to town. Stack said the business improvement area (BIA) should contribute to the programs, and offer consistent shopping hours – a criticism he’s heard repeatedly. Mayor David Reid said he is “somewhat in favour” of the program, especially the tax increasebased equivalent rebate program, because it doesn’t cost the town any money. “I look at it as an investment,” Reid said. The community improvement and tourism advisory committee, chaired by Coun. Lynn Grinstead, will recommend which applicants should be forwarded to council for consideration. All councillors, with the exception of an absent Lyle Anderson, voted in favour of discussing the proposal at budget time.

Plaintree tour attracts community leaders By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – About 50 business and public sector leaders gathered last Friday for a tour of Plaintree, the Arnprior-based manufacturer with some 90 employees living in the region and projects around the world. “Plaintree’s kind of a complicated story to tell,� CEO David Watson told the group Jan. 20. “We specialize in mergers and acquisitions.� Plaintree Systems is a diversified company with proprietary technology and manufacturing capabilities in structural and mechanical design, aerospace and telecommunications. Founded in 1988, the company is comprised of four divisions: Plaintree Wireless, Hypernetics, Triodetic, and Arnprior Fire Trucks; along with a related party – Spotton Corp. Employees include professional engineers, computer-aided design technicians, certified welders, computer numerical control machinists, laser cutters, painters, and support staff in administration, finance, sales and customer service. Watson pointed to photos of work the company has done around the world, including an igloo-shaped church in Iqaluit, three 32.5-square metre (350-square foot) domes in British Columbia painted to make the world’s largest Canada flag, the award-winning Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, and the caterpillarshaped Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester. Triodetic’s Bill Vangool explained that the novel designs are based on mechanically joined systems using pipes. While metal has resisted cur-

Plaintree CEO David Watson points to photos of work the company has done around the world, including these three domes in British Columbia painted to make the world’s largest Canada flag. vature in the past, Plaintree has found a way around it based on pipes. “It always us to make truly organic, flowing shapes, not just squares,� Vangool said. Triodetic Space Frames is a pioneer in innovative space frame and dome design, with more than 40 years experience and patented technology with a flawless safety record. Triodetic’s world-renowned, captivating and innovative projects include the JFK Library and Museum in Boston, the Las Vegas Convention Centre, the Melbourne Entertainment Centre in Australia, and Toronto’s Ontario Place, among many others. Other technology, developed over hundreds of hours of research, allows building foundations to ebb and flow with changing permafrost. It works in regions with weak soil, too.

The company itself is flexible, also, shifting Spotten’s direction from mass produced to high end cylinders. The latter were used at the Trump Tower in Toronto. Hypernetics is why Plaintree is located in Arnprior, Watson explained. “And we fell in love with the place,� he said. “We don’t have the city bureaucracy and taxes to deal with, and there are lots of talented assemblers who are very loyal – with 30-35 years here.� Hypernetics does design, development and manufacturing of innovative high performance electromagnetic devices on airplanes and space crafts. But it was the new fire trucks’ component that many came to see. The company has created a joystick to allow firefighters to remain inside the driver’s seat and guide a

huge nozzle in virtually ever direction. “We basically build a truck like no other,� said Graeme Cross, business development manager, adding their vehicles are well-above the ISO 9000 requirement. The custom-made and customordered trucks will be off to Simcoe County and elsewhere. It’s not all about working with large, heavy materials either. The laboratory division has employees putting together highly detailed sensors and other products, some to within 3/10 of thousandth of an inch. While vision and planning are key to the leadership, Watson doesn’t mind sharing at least one story of dumb luck. He attended an auction where the only item not to see was a powerful laser. Afterward, the auctioneer gave him a price he couldn’t

refuse. The laser was brought back to the shop, but with little expectation it could be put to use. Then workers started to find they could do 25 minutes of work in three minutes with it. “All of a sudden it went from something nobody wanted to it broke down and everybody was ‘What do you mean the laser cutter’s down?’� The business side is crucial to allowing for the creative side to succeed, Watson said. He said the company leans more to customized work, but innovation must match application. “It’s no use being the smartest guys in the room and invent something no one wants.� Arnprior Mayor David Reid was among those on the tour. Also an engineer, Reid said he was impressed with the facility, and pipe-fitting technology he referred to as “Lego.� The concept is simple, but what they are able to do with it? I was very impressed with that.� Plaintree has three buildings, with the head office located at the corner of Didak Drive and Harntey Street. It is 41 square metres (135 square feet). Last year was a good one for Plaintree, with a 21 per cent increase in sales over the previous year and a $641,000 profit before taking into account a non-operating loss due to the decrease in the value of Plaintree’s two former buildings. It was the second tour of the week at the plant, about 25 Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce members visited on the morning of Jan. 19.

WINTER CARNIVAL

Optimists Graham Cavanagh, Quint Pettigrew, John Graham, Andrew Smith, and Peter Anas gather with a slew of Grade 3 students at the annual races. No one kept score, but when it came to the highly-competitive Grade 8 relay race, St. Joseph Catholic School took top honours. Optimists Dan Perfitt, left, and president Chris Toner, join sommelier Carol Anderson of the Grape Scott at the festival’s Saturday evening wine tasting event. From Friday’s performance by ACDC tribute band Great Scott to the hockey tournament and Saturday’s children’s performances, events ran without a hitch.

Take care to keep police, state separate Canada is not in danger of becoming a police state, no matter how many police officers join the state. Word came recently that Ottawa Police Chief Vernon White had been selected by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to be one of several Conservative appointees to the senate. (We’ll leave debate over the irony of Harper, long-time proponent of an elected senate, continuing to flood the red chamber with his blue appointees for another day.) Down the hall, former Toronto and York Region chief and OPP commissioner Julian Fantino is the associate minister of national defence. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with these moves. Fantino was duly elected by the good people of the north Toronto riding of Vaughan, and we actually applaud White’s ascension to the senate. He is articulate, intelligent, teaching in his spare time and about to earn a doctorate, and

respected by his officers. He has a keen, first-hand interest and knowledge of First Nations issues, having worked as an officer in Canada’s North for many years. His knowledge could certainly prove handy with the ongoing disgrace that is the housing situation at the Attawapiskat First Nation. One need only look to our friends to the south and elsewhere to see how military leaders are often tapped to be national political leaders. Both men are certainly entitled to their own political beliefs which, now that they have hung up their badges, they are free to espouse as politicians. But while the Harper government is keen to be seen as being the party of Canada’s military and police, we have to wonder if Fantino and White are, unintentionally, fuelling a feeling of a lack of neutrality some people feel towards the police.

With two prominent former police officers in the Conservative ranks, seeing the Tories as the Police Party is something that they would not shy away from, but it is a doubleedged sword. If you are a social housing activist, or a member of the Occupy movement, or an environmentalist, or some other group not exactly at the top of the pile of Harper’s Christmas card list, and you have a run in with the police, then you may think twice about just how independent the cops keeping an eye on you are. Police officers are certainly not hesitant when it comes to espousing certain issues. This past November, Constable David Murphy of the Smiths Falls Police Service told a drug prevention meeting in Blacks Corners that he did not believe in marijuana legalization, and that weed was a gateway drug. Certainly not earth-shattering stuff, and

Tell us what you think

White, as police chief, has expressed his opposition to a proposed safe-injection site in Ottawa. But while these brothers in blue on the Tory benches are not the first step towards a police state, Harper needs to be careful to do his police friends a favour and make sure that it is clear that the nation’s police services are not an extension of the Tory party.

From the people who gave one or two bottles to those who gave a whole garbage bag full of cans, you made our day, as every bit helps us out. In March Red Velvet will be heading to Mississauga to compete against other high school music groups and the various ADHS students will be heading on a trip to Chicago. A major thank you to the kind people who allowed us to step inside their homes to warm up on that extremely cold day. Thank you everyone for your generosity.

Last week’s poll: Do you support heritage designation for the Ottawa River? A) Yes. The Ottawa River is worthy of the heritage designation and potential economic benefits such as tourism. 58% B) No. The designation could result in over-regulation and impact property owners’ rights along the river. 21% C) The designation should be granted, with protections built in for property owners. 21% D) Designation of the Ottawa River would likely have no real impact, either way. 0 Total Votes: 19

Provincial government guidelines protect the Grove To the editor: This letter is further to my letters of Dec. 1 and Dec. 22, 2011, on the subject of development on the subject property next to Gillies Grove. The provincial ministry of housing published a provincial policy statement – 2005 as a blueprint for municipalities to design their Official Plan. Section 2 of PPS states: “The diversity and connectivity of natural features in an area, and the long-term

ecological function and biodiversity of natural heritage systems, should be maintained, restored or, where possible, improved, recognizing linkages between and among natural heritage features and areas, surface water features, and ground water features.� Following this provincial policy guideline, the Town of Arnprior wrote an Official Plan in order to ensure the “wise use and management of resources.� Both Gillies Grove and the

Vydon property are designated as Natural Heritage Areas. As such, the OP provides for “water setbacks� of 30 metres for development; development and site alteration within a wetland is prohibited; development and site alteration is not permitted in the significant habitat of endangered species and threatened species; development and site alteration is not permitted in the significant habitat of endangered species and threatened species; development

Nature was the first in terms of hybrid models EMC Lifestyle - Hybrid cars have recently become the all the rage. With fossil fuels soaring in cost, the hybrid strategy offers savings over the long term. While the designers of this technology are undoubtedly receiving accolades galore for their brilliant designs, in Nature hybrids are nothing new. Ever since plants and animals began to genetically drift apart into new species, hybridization has occurred. The more closely two species are related, the greater the chance of successful crossing between them. Perhaps the best example is that of Mallards and American Black Ducks. Separated during the last glaciation, these two ducks look very different yet are very closely related. So much, so that when Mallards began their great range expansion and infiltrated the territory of Black Ducks, the hybridizing was rampant, with female Black Ducks preferring male Mallards to their own species.

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way Thus, in our region, hybrid Black-Mallards are frequently more common than pure American Black Ducks. Last weekend I was looking at waterfowl at Cobourg Harbour, a fantastic place in winter for seeing northern ducks up close. There were dozens of Longtailed Ducks (formerly called “Oldsquaw”), the males looking sleek and dapper in their

REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS “THE HIGHLAND VOICE” The Corporation of the Township of Lanark Highlands is seeking quotations from qualified suppliers to design and print the 2012 edition of THE HIGHLAND VOICE, the Township’s annual informational publication. Proposals placed in a sealed envelope identified as “Request for Quotations – 2012 Highland Voice” addressed to the Project Authority as noted below must be received NO LATER THAN 12:00 p.m., (Noon), Friday, February 3rd, 2012. Full project details can be found on the Township website: www.lanarkhighlands.ca The lowest cost quotation will not necessarily be accepted,

Both are cavity adopters, which means they lay their eggs in hollows in trees (or nest boxes). They also perform “egg dumping,” a behaviour in which one duck lays or “dumps” an egg in another duck’s nest. Often the egg ends up in a nest belonging to another of the duck’s own species but cross-laying also can occur. Perhaps a goldeneye that is raised by a merganser or a merganser that is raised by goldeneye might just be a little confused when it matures and goes mate searching. Alternatively, perhaps their genetic relatedness allows them to hybridize on occasion. Regardless, this little odd duck was on its own. It will be interesting to see which species it chooses to socialize with once it matures. Whatever its choice, it is bound to produce some interesting offspring!

Pacific Safety good for company: CEO By Derek Dunn

EMC Business - One of Arnprior’s largest employers, Pacific Safety Products, has been sold to a company with deep pockets. An manufacturer of advanced armour and personal protection solutions, Pacific Safety entered into a letter of intent with an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners – an arm’s length third party, to sell almost all of its assets, according to a company press release posted its website on Jan. 23. “Faced with a challenging operating environment, management and the board of directors of the company have concluded the sale transaction in the best interests of the company and its

stakeholders,� reads the press release. “If the sale transaction closes, it is expected that the company will have no operating assets ... the company will cease to be a manufacturing company.� Pacific Safety CEO Doug Lucky said being linked to a company with worth $8 billion gives the manufacturer stability. “This is, I believe, going to be very good for this company,� Lucky said. “This puts us in a position to work with a much stronger financial picture.� The proposed sale is subject to a number of conditions. The company recently moved its head office to Arnprior, where some 70 employees are located at Fourth Avenue facility.

Arnprior’s Hart Store to remain open as planned. Hart’s company headquarters is located in Quebec, where most of the 62 stores are located. The huge “Liquidation� sale, in French, means ‘clearance.’ Although Harris thought the stores closer to La Belle Province would have fewer confused customers than those in southwestern Ontario, turns out there are quite a few who misunderstand. The flyer mentions, albeit further down in the ad, that new spring stock will be arriving soon. It seems not everyone reads the fine print. However, Hart, which employs 15 to 20 people in Arnprior, has recently reduced its hours. It is now open from 9:30

EMC Business - Don’t believe the rumour: Hart, in the Arnprior Shopping Centre, is not closing. Store manager Mel Harris said many shoppers are coming in and saying it’s too bad the store is closing. That’s when she has to explain once again. “We are definitely not closing,� said Harris, emphatically, on Jan. 19. “I was just saying a few minutes ago that I should call the paper and take out an ad saying we are not closing. Then you phoned.� It seems the department store’s latest marketing campaign is not working out

Healthy, early budget agreed upon by Renfrew County council STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The 2011 Renfrew County budget was particularly good news, but so was the 2012 one scrutinized during last week’s budget workshop that lasted more than six hours. Highlights included a negligible levy, a minimal tax rate increase for residential property owners, and early passage of the budget. The budget was scheduled to be formally approved yesterday, Jan. 25 at Renfrew County council’s January meeting following Wednesday’s Jan. 19 workshop. Last year’s budget was approved in late March.

This year’s budget process was started much earlier in the year, to give the county’s lower-tier municipalities more time to determine their portion of the tax pie. Each property tax bill consists of three parts — education (the first portion to be approved), county, and lower-tier municipal (the last portion to be approved). For a property owner whose $100,000 house rose the average assessment of 6.1 per cent in Renfrew County, to $106,100, their county portion of the tax bill will rise a mere 1.6 per cent, from $383.89 to $389.92. If the value of one’s house, based on a $100,000 assessment, remained unchanged, one’s county portion of the tax bill will drop 4.368 per cent, or from $383.89 to $367.12. The same property owner would have a $26.77 drop in taxes for the combined education and county portions of the tax bill, before the lower-tier municipal portion is determined this spring. Following minor changes to the draft budget, the county’s tax levy to ratepayers will rise 3.3 per cent, or $1.1 million, to $35.3 million. At the end of last week’s workshop, Sweet jested to the media present that the session represented “another Renfrew County best-seller.” ‘RESPONSIBLE’ BUDGET

R0011243199-0112

More seriously, Sweet said: “I think it’s a responsible budget. We’re trying to address taxpayers’ needs … and to give the municipalities a little bit of tax room so they can look at their needs.” The warden said he was also pleased to see the addition of new base salaries of $3,000 for each county councillor, even if raises are seldom popular. The amount of time and effort put in by the part-time councillors justifies the increases, as well as the fact they still remain the poorest paid in eastern Ontario, said Sweet. “It’s a positive step forward. It’s not been an easy one, necessarily, to accept.” The increases in salaries for county councillor and the warden, plus new honorariums of $1,000 for major committee chairs and $500 for major committee vice-chairs, will cost taxpayers an extra $60,457 — or a change in the total tax levy by about 0.15 per cent. Positives in the budget, according to the warden, include capital works projects of about $12 million in road and bridge work and improved paramedic coverage. The latter comes with the help of $452,180 to address a gap in paramedic coverage in Whitewater Region and in the area that includes Killaloe, Griffith and Matawatchan. Around-the-clock touring paramedic response units, with an advanced care paramedic in each of those two regions, will help save lives, said Mike Nolan, Renfrew County’s chief paramedic and director of emergency services.

The units are to be available as first responders to 9-1-1 calls and to provide community paramedicine in the rural areas. The units’ secondary goals will be to respond to Code 3 calls originating outside Renfrew County. These are calls for serious, but not life-threatening, injuries such as fractures. Since 2005, the county has completed an average total of 77 Code 3 calls per year, with a high of 100 in 2010. The varied cost and nature of items in the 2012 county budget included: • improved systems to upgrade the video surveillance systems at Miramichi Lodge and Bonnechere Manor, costs covered by the Ministry of Health; • a three per cent (or $41,513) increase, to pay the county’s $1.425 million portion of Renfrew County and District Health Unit budget; • $13,500 for a casual truck-equipment operator during the winter months, to save paying $20,000 in overtime; • a 2.4 per cent increase to $3.2 million for winter road maintenance; • $2.1 million on Victoria Street to increase Petawawa’s sewage capacity; and • a six per cent drop, to $250,000, in Renfrew County timber sales, or what development and property director Paul Moreau calls a “conscious decision to step back on harvesting because of poor market conditions.” A major presenter at the workshop was Renfrew County treasurer Jim Kutschke. It was his 28th county budget.

Salaries going up for Renfrew County councillors and warden STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Salary increases for the county councillors and warden will amount to less than a fifth of one per cent of Renfrew County’s entire tax levy for 2012. But a few county councillors said they were still uncomfortable with supporting raises for themselves, even though a review by county councillors Walter Stack of Arnprior and Janice Visneskie of Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards showed they were the poorest paid in eastern Ontario. However, this year’s budget will include larger-than-normal hikes in remuneration for county councillors, the warden and major committee chairs. Two meetings of the county’s finance and administration committee in January brought forward recommendations for increases in salaries for county councillors, honorariums for the major committee chairs and vice-chairs, and a base salary increase for the county warden. There was no opposition regarding the committee honorariums of $1,000 for committee chairs and $500 for committee vice-chairs, and the warden’s salary increase from $21,109 to $25,000. But the addition of a $3,000 base salary for all 17 county councillors, over and above their meeting perdiems, met with a slightly different response. Previously, county councillors received per diems for half- or full-day meetings, but no base salary. North Algona Wilberforce Mayor Harold Weckworth said he couldn’t

support the $3,000 increase, given the state of the economy and the challenges other members of society face. “I won’t vote for this, but I do support the increase for the warden,� he said. Bonnechere Valley Mayor Jennifer Murphy said she, too, was uncomfortable with the $3,000 hike for herself and her colleagues, but supported the warden’s salary hike. It was difficult finding “apple-toapple� comparisons among eastern Ontario municipalities, because of how they determine their pay scales. LOWEST: STACK

However, Stack and Visneskie said it was still clear Renfrew County councillor remunerations were easily the lowest in the region. The average annual remuneration for local county councillors is $5,300. Remuneration among most other municipalities is $12,000 or more, while many receive closer to $16,000, said Stack. The treasurer’s statement for 2011 shows four of 16 county councillors received slightly more than $10,000 for per diems and expenses for the year. The 17th councillor, Warden Sweet, received a base salary of just over $21,000 and $5,673 in expenses. With per diems included, his total remuneration for 2011 was $46,590. County councillor remuneration is not just about money, stressed the 63-year-old Stack. He said adequate remuneration should be in place so that county council is represented by a wider portion of the population.

Most county councillors are in their 50s or 60s. “Look around the council table,â€? said Stack “It shows we’re not really getting fair representation of our community. If you’re looking at an average age of 60, then I don’t think we’re getting a fair representation ‌ if we’re going to draw younger people into the council, we’re not going to draw them without paying more.â€? Besides, said Stack, the job as county councillor is already a big commitment in time, both with official attendance at meetings, and preparation and examination of council documents. “I’m not suggesting it’s going to have to be a full-pay market situation, but it should offset some of the commitment,â€? said Stack. Even with the approved base salary of $3,000 (and no cost-of-living increase this year), Stack says Renfrew county councillors were still “well below many, many of the upper-tier municipalities in eastern Ontario.â€? Warden Bob Sweet said he didn’t feel overly comfortable talking about the warden’s compensation, since he sits in that position. “It’s not about me, it’s about the office of the warden,â€? he said, adding that he’d leave that mainly for discussion among other county councillors. But he did note the warden’s position represented “a very, very large responsibilityâ€? for the county. He also noted, as warden, that he attends many, many meetings for which he does not bill for expenses. Visneskie said the warden basically serves as the county’s CEO and, as such, he or she should be paid ac-

Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green said raising the warden’s salary was “long, long overdue,� while remuneration for county councillors was also overdue. “My salary here is even less than what I get in Renfrew� as reeve “and I don’t feel I’m hurting the taxpayer to get that additional remuneration,� added Green. Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon responded similarly. While recognizing it’s a difficult time for

many ratepayers, Emon said county councillors work hard and should be recognized for that effort. “It’s not an extravagant request and I feel comfortable defending it,� he said. Whether it’s hard times or not, Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe said county councillors are never going to find it a pleasant exercise to approve salary increases for themselves. However, she said future fact-finding exercises might benefit by including members of the public who don’t sit on county council.

District High School. Having travelled the Canadian Arctic for more than 50 years, he spoke about the beauty, culture and the mystery of the area and its people. “What started as a necessity became the second love of my life,” Hallendy told the students. He recalled how his father offered to pay for his postsecondary education only if he were to pursue medicine, law or engineering. He wanted to study art so his father told him to pay for his own education. “The only way to really make some money was working for the mining companies during exploratory work,” Hallendy recalled. “Gradually, we (mining company) we began to move further north.” While he would eventually become a career civil servant with the federal government, his love of the north and its people continues, even after retiring from work.

terrain to burial grounds and playground areas. Along with many travels, he got to know the people who called the north home. They became, as he said, “surrogate grandmothers and surrogate grandfathers.” Many of the Inuit who helped along his journey of discovery in the north were shown to the students in photographs. All of those individuals, with whom he forged special relationships, are now deceased. “What started as a necessity became the second love of my life,” Hallendy said. One of the photographs he shared with students was taken 30 years ago. It showed ice covering part of a landscape. He said today, if one to venture to that area, the ice would hardly be visible because of the warming temperatures in the Arctic. He also recalled standing in a glacial field and hearing water run below him and finding that “scary” and sounded much like a subway train rumbling on a track. “The landscape we see in the Arctic now is because of the ice,” Hallendy explained.

“Some places are unbelievable.” He spoke of the art created by wind, ice and the cold on the rocks along the landscape. “The Arctic is virtually a desert. It has the same amount of precipitation as the Sahara, very few places sustain life,” Hallendy noted. “The cold and frost can create very unique patterns.” MANY CHANGES Over the years, as the Arctic landscape has changed, so too has what lives there. There is emergence of plants such as Aortic cotton and in turn, the plants have attracted musk ox, which “live and die at the edge of the ice.” Peregrine falcons and foxes also call the Arctic home. During a short question period at the end of the presentation, one of the students commented on the beauty of Hallendy’s photographs and asked if he has done anything with those photos. He responded he has donated 8,000 of his photographs. They were donated to the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Vaughan, ON. His photographs from

his years of Arctic exploration can also be found in the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Northern Heritage Centre. “I learned a lot about myself in the north,” he told the students. “I learned we are vulnerable and we don’t even know it…You begin to learn how to question things, not just about myself but about life in general,” Hallendy offered. “What I learned is you have to keep going. And that is why I am working on my third book right now.” Hallendy also spearheads the Tukilik Foundation, which is an online database of his knowledge and experiences. He also speaks regularly about his experiences and is a research associate of the Arctic Institute of North America, a research fellow of the Canadian Museum of Civilization and an associate of the World Archaeological Congress. He is and will always remain in awe of the Arctic, its peoples and its inuksuit and sacred places. “There are places that have power,” he concluded.

EMC Lifestyle - The Arnprior Optimist Winter Carnival’s first ever Coffee House was held on Saturday, Jan. 21, at the Nick Smith Centre and featured six dedicated artists. Mariah Fridgeon was the first singer on stage and she belted out her own rendition of ‘Someone Like You’ by Adele. Young budding artist, Nick Dawson, took the stage next and played to the crowd with two piano pieces that I am sure took a lot of time to master. Seasoned pro coffee houser, Dan Palubiskie, was on stage next. After covering ‘Fall Back Down’ by Lights and ‘Broken’ by Seether, he called yours truly

up to sing ‘The Fear You Won’t Fall’ by Joshua Radin. Brian Reid, co-ordinator of the event, was up next singing some originals as well as known favorites such as ‘I’m Yours’ by Jason Mraz, which he invited the audience to join in. Reid, who is the organizer of the Coffee House events, has an amazing voice and I must say if he ever releases a CD I will be the first in line to buy a copy and I know two others that would be willing to do the same. Mariah was then accompanied by Gerard Hogue on guitar. All in all, a good time was had by all who showed up to listen to some great music. It’s always nice to be able to witness the talent that Arnprior has.

Police are investigating an incident where an Ottawa Valley homeowner received a call saying his computer needed an immediate remedy if his files were to be saved.

Kings to honour Ben Reinhardt by retiring sweater Sunday

Ben Reinhardt

He served as captain of the Lumber Kings in his final two seasons with the team. Currently he is attending the University of Alabama at Huntsville on a full scholarship while playing with the UAH Chargers hockey program. His character, leadership and commitment to the Lumber Kings organization and the City of Pembroke is as tough to match as his on ice accomplishments and for those reasons he is most deserving of this high honour, say the Lumber Kings in a news release announcing this Sunday’s ceremony. “Be sure to come out to the PMC this Sunday to be a part of paying tribute to Ben Reinhardt for his time in Pembroke and see his #8 in the rafters for the first time and also take part in a raffle and silent auction for game worn and new Reinhardt #8 jerseys.” Game time is 7 p.m., gates open at 6 p.m. and tickets can be purchased at the door.

second shutout of the tournament. Jace Letourneau led the way offensively with four goals, with a single going to Sam Pianosi. Letourneau also picked up player of the game honors. The Attack won their division with a 3-0 record and were ranked second overall (out of 16 teams) in the roundrobin, earning a bye to the semi-finals. The semi-final was a match-up with the Lakeshore Leopards from Montreal. The Attack got off to a quick start, scoring two goals in the first period. Sheldon Lyons ripped a great shot up high and Jace Letourneau banged home a rebound off a shot by Jake Pianosi. The game was exciting and had fans on the edge of their seats throughout as the teams traded scoring chances. The Leopards clawed their way back and tied the game 22 late in the third period, sending it to overtime. The first OT period was scoreless. Early in the second OT period, the Leopards converted a great passing play by sliding a shot passed a diving Tyler Klinkenberg, ending what one fan described as “the best novice game of the year.” Sheldon Lyons was named player of the game (with special mention to Klinkenberg). While disappointed with the loss, coaches and parents were extremely proud of all the players for their effort. The players showed tremendous improvement in team play, which was the major factor in their success. The Attack is looking forward to their home tournament this Sunday, Jan. 29 at the Nick Smith Centre.

The members of the bronze medal winning Arnprior Attack Novice A team are in front Tyler Klinkenberg; in the second row, from left, Alex Reid, Sam Pianosi, Jake Pianosi, Jake Timmins, and Sheldon Lyons; third row Nathaniel Leduc, Jace Letourneau, Ryan Klinkenberg, Alex King, Keilan Leclaire, and Connor Naismith; and back row assistant coach Graham Lyons, head coach Jeff Letourneau, and trainer Matt Naismith. Missing is assistant coach Dave King.

The Arnprior Attack won the bronze medal in the Novice A division Sunday at the eighth annual Capital house league championships at the Sensplex in Kanata. The local hockey team started the tournament strongly with a convincing 6-0 win over the Russell Warriors last Friday morning. Tyler Klinkenberg continued his strong play of late and earned the shutout. Sheldon Lyons and Jace Letourneau each netted a pair of goals, with singles going to brothers Sam and Jake Pianosi. Lyons was named player of the game for Arnprior. In game two, Arnprior spotted the Stittsville Red Lighting a two-goal lead before settling down and earning a 4-3 victory. Letourneau led the way offensively with a hat trick, while Lyons picked up a single. Letourneau was named player of the game. Arnprior’s final game of the round-robin was a match with the Nepean Flames. The Attack played their best allaround game of the season and steamrolled the Flames 5-0. The coaches were extremely happy with the defensive play of the entire team, which shut down a high-powered Flames offense and minimized costly turnovers. The defence core of Alex King, Sheldon Lyons, Ryan Klinkenberg, Alex Reid and Keilan Leclaire all had strong games. The coaches also noted tremendous back-checking by the forwards with special mention to Nathaniel Leduc, Jake Timmins and Connor Naismith. Tyler Klinkenberg was solid in net again, earning his

Staying eco-friendly when camping Choosing the right summer camp Few vacation ideas are as family-friendly as camping. When vacationing, families may be concerned about ďŹ nancing their trip. In camping, however, individuals often ďŹ nd an affordable vacation alternative both parents and kids can enjoy. That affordability is why camping continues to be overwhelmingly popular. According to the Travel Industry Association of America, approximately 1 in 5 Americans went camping in 2008. While that’s good news for outdoor enthusiasts, it’s not always great news for the environment. When camping, campers need to remember to be clean and environmentally conscious. Even a campsite with maintenance staff needs to be treated like a remote spot in the

woods with no one to clean it up. When camping, consider the following eco-friendly tips to ensure your vacation is as good for the environment as it is for the family. * Purchase reusable cookware. Though you might not be in the comforts of your own kitchen, that doesn’t mean you can’t bring some reusable cookware with you to the campsite. Instead of paper plates, plastic utensils and foam cups, purchase some inexpensive reusable dishes, utensils and coffee mugs. Many camping stores sell supplies that will be exactly what you’re looking for. Reusable items will greatly reduce the trash you produce and save you money over time. * Don’t forget to recycle, particularly when in a remote

camping area. If you recycle at home you should bring that eco-conscious practice with you to the campsite. The campsite you visit may or may not have recycling bins, so bring some extra trash bags with you to separate your recyclable from garbage while in the woods. * Cook around the ďŹ re. True campers will insist that meals are cooked over a ďŹ re they started themselves. However, families without a camping history often choose to bring along stoves that use propane or electricity to operate. Fuelpowered options are not as environmentally friendly as cooking over a ďŹ re. Wood is typically easy to gather around a campsite, and cooking over a ďŹ re lends a more genuine feel to any camping trip.

CAMPS

It can be difďŹ cult to envision warm summer days when the wind is blowing and the snow is falling. However, the winter months are a great time to explore summer camp options. In fact, many camps have strict enrollment timelines that require decisions to be made prior to spring. Attending summer camp has been a tradition in the United States for more than 150 years. Statistics indicate that around 30 million American kids attend summer camp each year. There are many beneďŹ ts to summer camp. Camp enables children to stay engaged during the summer when there may be limited interaction with school friends. It also gives parents both a safe and viable daycare solution during the summer. Summer camp pulls together children from different neighborhoods, social classes and backgrounds, which can make it a good place to meet new people -- some of whom may become lifelong friends. Camps also provide a variety of activities that can challenge children to try new things that go beyond their comfort zones.

Some children are very receptive to the idea of attending summer camp. Others need a little coaxing. But summer camp should never be forced on a child who does not want to go. In such instances, consider local daytime programs that may ďŹ ll the void instead of programs that require being away from home. Once the decision for summer camp is made, there are some questions to answer. * What are your ďŹ nances like? Do you have a budget for summer camp? * What size camp do you desire? * Should the camp be co-ed or single sex? * How far do you want your child to travel for summer camp? What are the options in your area? * Are there any camps that have been recommended by friends or family members? * What kinds of activities do your children enjoy? These types of questions will help you narrow down your options. Then you can visit and interview camps to ďŹ nd one that is the best ďŹ t. When visiting camps, go armed with a checklist of

questions. Some of these can include: * What is the philosophy of the camp? * Can you explain a typical day? * What are the types of activities and facilities offered? * What is the camper-tocounselor ratio? * What is the camp’s drug/ alcohol policy? * Does the camp have insurance and security personnel? * What percentage of staff return each year? How are staff selected and trained? * What kind of health care is provided? * Can you tell me about the policy on phone calls and family visits? * What do you do in the event of emergencies? There are many different camps available. Some offer a “little bit of everything.â€? Others cater to academics, sports, speciďŹ c hobbies or even religious preferences. Don’t wait too long to research and sign up for camps because many ďŹ ll up quite early or have an extensive waiting list. That is why choosing a camp should be part of a winter to-do list.

Packers sweep two games with Wolves EMC Sports - The Arnprior Packers sent an Arnprior Optimist Winter Carnival crowd home happy with a feisty 9-4 win over the Renfrew Wolves Saturday at the Nick Smith Centre. The victory came on the heels of a 6-4 win over the Wolves Friday evening in Renfrew. The Packers continue to run away with the Junior B hockey Valley Division, maintaining a 14-point lead on the second place Perth Blue Wings. Arnprior rolled to a 7-0 lead over the Wolves Saturday after two periods with three powerplay and two shorthanded goals. Renfrew mounted a modest comeback with three scores in the first half of the third period, as Arnprior was given four straight minor penalties. In all there were 37 penalties in the game. Mitch Parker and Matt Crozier led Arnprior with two goals each, while Braedon Moffatt, Dan Weir, Matt Crozier, Ryan Eady, Taylor Collins and newly acquired sniper Derek Lowry had singles. Lowry, the Valley Division top scorer, comes to the Packers in a trade with Almonte for the rights to Ben Wade and a player to be named

later. Matt Couvrette made 35 saves in the Arnprior net, as Renfrew outshot the Packers 39-33. On Friday, Weir snapped a 4-4 tie with just under three minutes in the second period and Collins scored in the last minute to give the Packers a two-goal lead. The scoreless third was marked by five misconducts and a fighting major assessed to Teddy Suckow of the Packers and Justin Farrell of the Wolves. Other goal-scorers for the Packers were Suckow, Stephen Cooney and Parker Davies with two. The Packers outshot the Wolves 39-33 and clicked for two power-play goals. The Packers record is now 26-6-3. Arnprior plays Almonte in Pakenham this Friday, Jan. 27 in the traditional Pakenham Frost Fest game at 8 p.m. After going on the road the first weekend in February, the Packers wrap up their schedule with home games against Stittsville and Renfrew Feb. 10 and 12. There has been no decision announced on whether the Packers’ two postponed games will be rescheduled.

Braeside skier wins bronze in Quebec Calabogie Ski Racing Club’s alpine ski racers kicked off the 2012 season in fine form. The I2 boys had three top-10 finishes in their Giant Slalom race at Vorlage, Quebec on Jan. 22. Sean Swayze of Braeside skied to a bronze medal followed closely by Sam Alexander of Carp in fourth place. Jack Alexander of Carp bettered his first run to snag eighth place. The rest of the team posted very respectable results in a field of over 60 racers: Zach Wroe (Burnstown) – 17th, Thomas Cousens (Stittsville) – 22nd, Tyler Lefebvre (Calabogie) – 28th, and 8-year-olds (racing against 9- and 10year-olds) Evan Sharma (Kingston) and Carson Lefebvre (Calabogie) were 39th and 49th respectively. Connor Allen had a strong first run, but difficulties in the second run placed him in 52nd. The lone I2 girl was Alyssa Steggall of Stittsville who skied to 22nd in her division. In K1 action, Calabogie racers had a busy schedule Jan. 21 and 22, with a Slalom race at Vorlage Saturday and a Grand Slalom race at Camp Fortune Sunday. The K1 boys just about owned the Slalom podium with Sammy and Alex Duff of Pembroke earning the gold and bronze medals. Travis Reid of Kingston was sixth. The girls K1 slalom saw Sophia Tan of Kanata in 11th place and Lauren Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew in 13th. They bettered the feat in the GS with Sophia edging her way to a ninth-place finish with Lauren once again two spots behind her. Jenna Wissing (Kanata) was 22nd, Lauren Ferguson (Carp) 32nd, Jessica

With the help of many, many volunteers and some great snow-making from Calabogie Peaks, the racers braved bitter

cold to ski their runs. Mikayla Reid of Kingston came in 17th place, followed by Aylen Ferguson of Carp at 22nd. Gabrielle D’Aoust of Glenburnie also raced. In the boys division, Christopher Pepin of Kinburn was 20th. Race results from the Junior Division will be reported on soon.

EMC Sports - When you ask Canadian Ski Hall of Famer and Olympian Todd Brooker what skiing has given him, it has nothing to do with what he has won. It is more about who he has become – a proud and happy family man. Todd Brooker, who now represents Head ski equipment, was at the Peaks Jan. 15 and handed out prizes to winners at a youth ski competition. “I did it myself. I went through the whole ski program and I had three daughters that also raced so that was my second chance to follow the racing,” said Brooker, one of Canada’s Crazy Canucks of the ski hills.

He understands the pressures on young people and the challenges some face juggling their sport and school as well. “The odd time I say something right,” he adds with a chuckle. But his impact as a role model is a serious one, and he’s happy to encourage any way he can. Best of all, the sport has given him the great gift of all: “For me personally, time with my family. It’s still the most fun thing that we’ll ever do together.” “Now there’s no panic about training and everything else. It’s skiing for fun and it’s just a blast,” says Brooker.

Tips make working in the kitchen easier EMC Lifestyle - When you dice or chop vegetables such as onion, peppers or potatoes on a cutting board, it can sometimes be a challenge to transfer small pieces to a measuring cup or saucepan without spilling them. The next time you have to do this, use an egg flipper. Slip it under the chopped vegetables, and you’ll be able to lift even the smallest pieces without any spills. This also works well when you need to transfer chopped nuts from the cutting board. If you’ve ever poured a chunky soup from a pot to

Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW

a bowl or storage container, you know that it often splashes over everything nearby -you, the stove and the kitchen counter. This happens because the liquid always goes into your container first, followed by the chunks that splash into the liquid. A simple solution is to turn a soup ladle upside down in

the container before you start pouring. Pour the soup over the back of the ladle. This breaks up the flow of chunks so they are less likely to splash into the liquid. If you have a bread machine or buy unsliced bread, it can be tricky to slice the last part of the loaf. When the bread reaches

that point, place what’s left flat on the counter or cutting board. Cut the loaf in two so that, instead of being full height, each portion is half the height of the full loaf. The last of the bread will be much easier and safer to slice. Most automatic dishwasher instructions tell you to run water in the nearest tap until it’s hot, then to start up the dishwasher. If you have dishes that, for one reason or another, have to be washed by hand, run the water for them into the nearest sink first. You’ll have hot water for washing the special dishes as well as hot water

ready for the dishwasher. Here’s another way to use less hot water. When you wash dishes and pots by hand, you probably rinse them with hot water. Before you start, run only enough hot water to fill the sink 3-4” deep. As you wash the dishes, rinse them under hot water and let that water run into your washing water. Your sink will gradually fill with hot water, and you’ll have enough to wash the large pots and pans at the end. If you want to make a quick cup of rich-tasting hot chocolate, pour 1% milk into a microwave-safe container

or mug. Microwave on High for 1 minute and 30 seconds (for an 1100 watt oven) or 1 minute and 50 seconds (for a lower watt oven). Watch carefully near the end of the time. If the milk starts to boil, turn off the oven immediately, or the liquid will boil over. To the hot milk, add 1 heaping teaspoon of instant hot chocolate mix and 1 heaping teaspoon of coffee creamer. Stir, or whisk until dissolved. Marshmallows are optional. For adults, stir in 1/2-1 tsp. of Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueur.

Chewing gum a filthy habit according to Miss Crosby Mary Cook’s Memories BY MARY COOK

Two Mile Herman’s love of gum caused such an uproar at the Northcote School, that it was forever after known as the “day Two Mile Herman got caught with his pants down.” You could find wads of gum all over the school that Two Mile stashed for later chewing. If he had to get rid of it in a hurry, he could poke it into the door jam, under a window sill where no one could see it, and Cecil said he knew for a fact there was enough gum under Two Mile’s seat and desk to fill a milk can. Of course, he could retrieve it too. And it wasn’t beyond him, on his way out the door, to be seen, without even looking at it, to reach out and grab the wad he had placed there an hour or so before. He never lost track of where he had stuck the last mouthful. Well, one day, it was if he had taken leave of his senses. He was rolling a big lump of gum around in his mouth when Miss Crosby had ordered us to our seats for morning prayer. I heard Cecil whisper

loud enough that he could be heard two rows over... “Two Mile…your gum.” I saw Two Mile put three fingers in his mouth, grab the gum, and press it onto the leg of his overalls. It was the custom at the Northcote School, for Miss Crosby to ask one of the pupils to come forward and lead in singing God Save the King. The prayer was over, and as luck would have it, she called out Herman’s name. He either forgot about the gum on his leg, or he figured it was too late to do anything about it. By now it was pretty well anchored to his overall just above his knee. Of course, it didn’t take Miss Crosby more than a split second to spot the gum. She let a roar out of her that could be heard in Douglas and demanded to know where the gum came from. Well, if nothing else, Two Mile Herman was a quick thinker. He looked down at his leg as if he had never laid eyes on it before. The teacher ordered him out into the cloak room, which wasn’t really a room

at all, just a partition separating the school room from the doorway. He was made to take off his overalls, and Miss Crosby followed him with the scissors. “Now, scrape it off,” she bellowed. None of us dared turn around in our seats to watch the performance, but we knew he would be out there standing in his long underwear. My sister Audrey, in Se-

nior Fourth, wondered if Miss Crosby was more mad about the gum, or over wasting most of the morning. At any rate, Two Mile Herman emerged eventually with his overalls back on, and the gum was gone. Audrey said Miss Crosby was too worn out to administer the strap, and eventually, the school room returned to normal. Then it was time for re-

cess. Of course, we all headed back to the cloak room to get our coats. Two Mile Herman was the first to grab his off a hook. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He had stashed his wad of gum on the underpart of the board that held the hooks, and when he left the school to play outside, the gum was back in his mouth, swishing around as if it had never left it.

My View From Island View

Grandma

%&&.#(-'%&*

So I was giving some thought to my Grandma. She died a few days before Christmas after suffering from Alzheimer’s for several years. My thoughts of her have been overflowing in my mind over the last couple of weeks. I don’t have many pictures of her but I do have many vivid memories of the woman I called Gram. Joyce O’ShaughnessyFlute was an amazing woman who not only raised 5 kids but ran the successful O’Shaughnessy Limited Insurance Company in Bancroft after my Grandfather died many years ago. She did very well for herself buying out other insurance companies over the years. Joyce was a very smart business woman. My memories of her are fond and I would like to share a few with you. Not only was she a consummate business woman but she was also a fashionista! Dressed to the nines was how you would always find her. Whether at work or relaxing with a beverage in her breeze-way, she would always be in high heels. I can remember chomping at the bit to get to Gram’s house so I could be let loose in her bedroom. Her closet was teaming with scores of high heeled shoes and drawers overflowing with jewellery. When I was 9, I decided to enter the “Cross River

Swim” in Deep River. All swimmers were required to swim from the Quebec Side of the Ottawa River over to the Ontario Side with one stipulation. You need to have both a rower and a spotter in a row boat that would accompany your swimming journey. You guessed it. Gram was my rower. She rowed the 1 ¼ miles across the mighty Ottawa River cheering me on the whole way. Gram introduced me to fashion, pierced ears, sexy bathing suits, frog’s legs and cherry brandy. You have no idea how much she loved to shop! I can remember her taking me shopping one day. Gram bought me my very first black bathing suit as well as my first pair of ultra high, high heeled shoes. This, I know for sure, drove my parents crazy. Because my memories of my Grandma are fond, I wanted to see what memories some of the residents have of their Grandmothers. Ken recalls how his Grandmother, in her later years, suffered from dementia but could still belt out Christmas tunes along with the piano. Wellwood remembers how severe rationing during the war caused his Grandmother

to hoard not only her butter but everyone else’s. Another person shared with me that her Nan, a socialite in Arnprior, would do her ironing, sitting down, while watching her soap operas and another person recalled her Grandmother, while on her death bed, sharing the best part about dying was being able to eat as much chocolate as she wanted without worrying about her weight. I think memories of Grandmothers are very special indeed. Even though I don’t have many photos, I have my memories and they are always there. I can unpack them any time I choose. Mull them over, savour them and cherish them. They bring a smile to my heart. Then, I can pack them away until the next time.

EMC Lifestyle - Gum was forbidden by Miss Crosby. Not only in the Northcote School, but within a country mile of the school yard! Chewing gum was right up there with swearing or telling a lie, both of which could earn you a good strapping if caught. Miss Crosby called chewing gum a “filthy habit.” Now, Two Mile Herman didn’t pay much attention to the rules at the Northcote School. Oh, he didn’t really swear...sometimes he said “darn”, and he only lied if it was absolutely necessary. But he was known to talk out loud after we were in our seats, which was forbidden, and it took him forever to get down to work after prayers and singing God Save the King, both of which he was known to ignore taking part in. Two Mile Herman loved gum. Wrigley’s came in sticks in green wrappers, and it was rumoured that Two Mile Herman spent every cent on gum at Briscoe’s General Store that ever came his way. He was known to cram three or four sticks in his mouth at one time. And he chewed it with his mouth wide open, so you could always see a big wad of Wrigley’s swishing around his teeth.

Getting to know ‌ Kyle Turris By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Kyle Turris has surely found his new hockey oasis. From toiling in the desert with the Phoenix Coyotes to a return to a hockey-mad market with the Ottawa Senators, Turris has seen his world undergo a massive sea change in just a few short months. But even in the middle of one of Ottawa’s famed frosty winters, the 22-year-old native of New Westminster, B.C., is a young man at peace with where the game — and life — has taken him. Obtained from the Coyotes on Dec. 17 in a deal for defenceman David Rundblad and a secondround draft pick, Turris wasted little time making an impact with his new team. Senators head coach Paul MacLean will tell you it’s more than just a coincidence that his team went 8-1-1 in its ďŹ rst 10 games with Turris in the lineup. The 6-1, 195-pounder quickly ďŹ lled a need as the Senators’ second-line centre and produced 11 points in his ďŹ rst 15 games with the team. Turris was the No. 3 overall pick by the Coyotes in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. Six months later, he led Team Canada’s goldmedal winning squad in scoring at the 2008 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship in the Czech Republic. The newest Senator took some time out with Score to share some of his thoughts about hockey and more: Q: Who was your hockey hero growing up? A: Steve Yzerman. He was the best all-around hockey player, Detroit Red Wings captain, won the Stanley Cup (three times) ‌ he was just unbelievable. Q: Tell us something about Vancouver that nobody would

ÂŽ

know. A: You can go skiing and golďŹ ng in the same day. Q: What do you remember about your draft day? A: I remember everything. Waking up, getting ready, working out in the morning because the draft wasn’t until the afternoon, doing a couple of interviews, walking over to the rink (Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio), seeing the atmosphere, Wayne Gretzky calling my name to come up and join him on the podium because Phoenix had drafted me ‌ it was a pretty neat experience. Q: Your favourite memory about world juniors. A: Winning the gold in overtime. The whole tournament was fun and the way Hockey Canada treated us was great. Q: Where do you keep that gold medal? A: I’ve got it in a safe back in Vancouver. Q: Other than the weather, the biggest difference between Phoenix and Ottawa. A: Here, I live about ďŹ ve minutes from the rink but back in Phoenix, I was about 35 minutes away. The hockey atmosphere is deďŹ nitely quite a bit different here. Q: Name three people, living or dead, who you’d like to have dinner with. A: Muhammad Ali, Neil Armstrong (he was the ďŹ rst guy who walked on the moon and he’d be pretty interesting) and Albert Einstein (I read a book about him. He’d be pretty cool). Maybe Steve

like a little bit of everything. Q: Your favourite TV show. A: Modern Family is hilarious. I like Seinfeld, too. Q: Your favourite movie. A: Dumb and Dumber is pretty good. Q: Your favourite thing to do away from the rink. A: Just relaxing with my family and friends.

NEW YORK ISLANDERS

Friday, Feb. 3, 7:30 p.m. Sportsnet East More was expected this season out of the Islanders, who again find themselves closer to the Eastern Conference basement than a playoff position. But the Isles aren’t without some standout performers, the most notable being former No. 1 overall pick John Tavares, who’s scoring at nearly a point-per-game clip. Also chiming in as offensive leaders are Matt Moulson and PA Parenteau, while Michael

Yzerman, too. Q: If you’re cooking dinner, what’s on the menu? A: Pasta. Something like a fettucine alfredo mix with marinara sauce, with a rib eye (steak) on the side Q: Your favourite music. A: I like relaxing to Jack Johnson type of stuff, and I like the Kings of Leon upbeat stuff. I

Grabner was a Calder Trophy finalist a year ago. On defence, the return to health of Mark Streit has been a boost for the Isles. Al Montoya and Evgeni Nabokov have split the majority of the goaltending chores.

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS Saturday, Feb. 4, 7:00 p.m. CBC The Maple Leafs are pushing hard to end a six-year absence from the Stanley Cup playoffs. Offensively, much of Toronto’s fortunes rest in the hands of Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul, who both rank among the NHL’s top point-getters. Also chipping in to the Leafs’ attack are a forward group that includes Tyler Bozak, Mikhail Grabovski, Tim Connolly and Clarke MacArthur. On the blue

line, the leader of the pack is captain Dion Phaneuf, the lone Leaf voted into the 2012 Tim Hortons NHL All-Star Game by fans. James Reimer is the main man in goal for Toronto and he gets backup support from Johan Gustavsson.

Smoking area changes at Nick Smith Centre NINA TOWNLEY Youth Corner

EMC Lifestyle - The Nick Smith Centre is having another P.A Day Ultimate Field Trip coming up in February. This time youth have the opportunity to come to Mont Cascades with us for a day of fun on the hill. If you ski or snowboard this is the perfect opportunity to get out to the hill for a low price, as we have discounted rates for this trip. The cost of this trip is $15, which pays for a lift pass. This trip is not competitive; beginners are encouraged to come out as we have lessons available for only $10. Rentals are $10 as well, and helmet rentals, which are strongly encouraged, are $5. The bus will be leaving the Nick Smith Centre on Feb. 3 at 8:30 a.m. and will arrive back at 5:30 p.m. This trip is for youth aged 9-18, but parents/siblings are more than welcome to come as well. Priority is given to youth, as there are limited seats on the bus. There are no supervised groups on this trip. The deadline to register is Jan. 30. There will be another training op-

portunity for high school students as part of our Leadership for Youth Training Series (LYTS) program. On Feb. 7 from 6-9 p,m. at the Community Policing Office in the Arnprior Mall, we will be offering Active Global Citizenship training, with a follow-up training on Breaking the Poverty-Disease Cycle. Active Global Citizenship training provides youth with knowledge and information on what they, as youth, as leaders, can do to take action in their communities. Breaking the PovertyDisease Cycle training, which follows the Active Global Citizenship training, is designed to increase the participants’ awareness and involvement in improving the conditions of poverty worldwide. This training opportunity is $5 or free with a Community Access Pass, and is a great way to earn your Community Service hours. Deadline for registering is Jan. 31. On Monday, Feb. 6, we will be hosting another one of our dodgeball nights, but this time there’s a twist. This time youth will be playing against our Emergency Service Workers. Dodgeball is a

free, drop-in program at the Nick Smith Centre on Monday nights. Don’t forget your dance tickets! Feb. 10 is the dance and our tickets are available now at Nick Smith Centre.

Nina Townley, left, and Kayla Menkhorst are working to educate the public about the new smoking area at the Nick Smith.

NO-SMOKING CHANGE

As of last weekend the Nick Smith Centre has implemented a change to where you can smoke a cigarette. You are no longer able to smoke in front of the front doors, as there is now a new designated smoking area. This designated smoking area is located at the side of Arena B. Signage has been posted around the Nick Smith Centre as well. The main objective of the new designated smoking area is to keep nonsmokers from inhaling second-hand smoke when entering/exiting the building. Thank you for your cooperation in this change. For more information about any of our programs or registration, contact Kayla at the Nick Smith Centre at 613 623 7301, ext. 217 or email kmenkhorst@arnprior.ca.

at 9:00 a.m.

Norm was rescued from euthanization at a nearby pound, where he had been brought in as a stray. He is a social cat that is affectionate, he loves to be brushed and petted. At five years old, he is quiet and enjoys just hanging out in the windows or napping in his cat bed. He gets along well with other cats but enjoys his own space. Norm will follow you around and meow for attention. He is a wonderful cat that will be good company for his new owner.
