Talking taxes Arnprior staff proposes 3.5% tax hike to council

EMC News – Staff at the Town of Arnprior presented the first draft of the 2012 operations budget on Jan. 30, asking council to approve an average 3.5 per cent tax levy hike. Treasurer and acting chief administrative officer David Pollard explained that the total revenue for this year should be a little over $14.5 million. When the levy goes up 1 per cent (an additional $63,000) it pays for inflationary costs and expanded programs. In 2012, staff is asking for $220,500 more to run its affairs. However, councillors tend to observe closely during budget season and department heads sit before them one at a time to make their case for increased funding. In past years, the final tax increased fell below the proposed hike. If councillors approve too much of an increase, they hear it from voters. If staff is given too little in funding, they hear it from service users. Although public sector salaries are a contentious issue nation-wide, Pollard announced early they are frozen at town hall. “We’ve left all salary and wage lines the same as last year,” Pollard said. Just as Pollard was about to begin the overview, Mayor David Reid picked up on one of the central revenue streams. The water revenue is up 3.64 per cent, to $1.94 million; but the wastewater revenue is down 2.19 per cent, to $1.74 million. “How can we have a reduction in consumption, but still have an increase in rates?” Pollard said there is a difference in expenditures between the two plants. Reeve Walter Stack isn’t surprised consumption is down following the water billing fiasco. “We did draw a little attention to water bills,” he said. Another controversial line on the budget is policing costs. The police department came in at $2.1 million last year and $2.2 million in 2012, for an increase of 5.3 per cent. Reid noted that about 2 per cent of that increase is mandated by the province. While tax revenue from residential growth was solid at $92,000 last year, industrial growth fell by $44,000, leaving a net growth of about $47,000. On tax assessments, Stack recalled a few years ago when ratepayers complained that assessments were inaccurate and didn’t take place often enough. He said the provincial ombudsman made about 22 recommendations; 19 were implemented, but the others would take about $22 million to put into place. Last year’s proposed tax increase reached a high of 3.59 per cent before settling at 1.83 per cent. Council’s budget talks were ongoing this week and will continue in next week. Upcoming stories will detail facts and figures from areas such as the Nick Smith Centre, library and fire services.

Town hires infrastructure expert as new top bureaucrat By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – Kevin McLlwain is the town’s new top bureaucrat. McLlwain’s hiring was made public on Jan. 30, and he will be in Arnprior to observe budget discussions next week, but he doesn’t take over as chief executive ofﬁcer (CAO) until March 12. “It should be pretty exciting. I’m

moving to Arnprior,” said the 38-yearold Goderich native. “I bring a fair amount of value for money concepts. I truly believe in getting good value for the dollars being spent.” That tendency toward ﬁscal conservatism, which likely clinched the job for him, was born out in his previous job as CAO of Central Huron. The municipality, comprised of a town and two townships with a total popu-

lation of about 7,800, built a ﬁre hall, an impressive community centre, and hard infrastructure under McLlwain’s watch. “I’m proud of those projects,” he said. According to Central Huron Mayor Jim Ginn, taxpayers got a good deal on all purchases. “He was excellent,” Ginn said. “Some of that might have had to do

with it happening at the start of the downturn (in the economy). He’ll get you good prices.” Arnprior is likely to consider building a new town hall before the next election. Despite the accomplishments, McLlwain was let go from the newly created position in Dec. 5 after a twoyear stint. See ‘NEW CAO’ Page 2

Arnprior council hears options for cemetery revenue derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News - How to pay for cemeteries when plot sales end was discussed during Arnprior’s budget meeting on Jan. 30. Public works director Janet Collins said the issue isn’t a pressing one, but that much of the revenue to pay for maintenance costs comes from the sale of burial sites. The town’s cemeteries remain self-sustaining, with a reserve fund set in place during some years.

The Albert Street Cemetery is nearly full, she said, leaving just the Malloch Road Cemetery with much room for future burials. The town pays $72,000 in labour, equipment rental, and other costs to care for the two sites. Part of Collins’ job is to explain all options to raise revenue in any given department. Council might consider opening a third cemetery, she said, suggesting the best location seems one overlooking the landﬁll on River Road. However, municipalities are not obliged to

open new cemeteries, just care for any abandoned in their jurisdiction. Malloch cemetery has numerous large trees that could be cut down to make room for more plots, but chopping down trees is expensive. Another option, suggested by Coun. Lynn Grinstead, is to sell plots in stacks – to have loved ones buried one over the other instead of side by side. Collins said that could work, but not if they are next to occupied sites. “They tend to collapse,” she said. The trend is toward cremation, which also

Put $50,000 ED officer pay into projects: Smith By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC News – An Arnprior business owner has offered to take up the position of economic development ofﬁcer. Doug Smith, a mayoral candidate in the last municipal election and current member of the economic development committee, this week said he is willing to do the job for free if the town agrees to sink the estimated $50,000 annual salary into signage and related projects. “I’m willing to do it on a voluntary

basis,” Smith said. “I’d like to see the money used for other things.” Smith said the position doesn’t necessary have to go to him, but he believes the proper place for it is in the committee. The committee, chaired by Mayor David Reid, has already discussed spending on ﬂyers, new bilingual brochures and an updated town website. Smith said the $50,000 could be matched by both the provincial and federal governments, with the City of Ottawa and Renfrew County each chipping

in $25,000. Businesses could contribute another $50,000 bringing the total to $250,000. Smith said he planned to inform Reid about the idea at the next committee meeting, but it was cancelled. Reid said he would comment on the economic development ofﬁcer job during the current budget deliberations. He would prefer to have the new chief administrative ofﬁcer, Kevin McLlwain, make a recommendation on how to proceed.

saves room since ashes only need to be buried in a smaller space about 18 inches (46 centimetres) deep. However, the least palatable option to council is to “take back” graves that are a 100 years old or more, she said. Sometimes a family long ago would bury a child, for instance, and close relatives have also passed on – resulting in few living connections. “I wouldn’t want to go down that road,” said Reeve Walter Stack.

No charges in snowmobile crash EMC News – Ottawa OPP have decided not to lay charges against a Pakenham area snowmobiler who crashed through an ice shack on the east end of the Madawaska Headpond Jan. 21. The snowmobiler was taken to the Arnprior hospital for immediate care and later transported to an Ottawa base hospital with non-life threatening head injuries after the crash that occurred just before 2 a.m. The destroyed ice shack is owned by a Carleton Place man.

EMC News – 17-year-old male from Arnprior was charged with a Highway Traffic Act offence after a car was seen in the ditch near Pakenham by an OPP officer Jan. 28. The Lanark OPP officer noticed the vehicle in the east ditch of County Road 29 Saturday evening. The officer checked the damage to the vehicle and spoke with the youth. It was discovered he was the vehicle driver not only when the vehicle left the highway but also earlier in the evening when the vehicle struck and damaged a County Road sign in Pakenham. The driver had not reported the collision, say police. Therefore, a Provincial Offence Notice was issued to the driver for failing to report an accident.

Homeowners urged to install CO alarms after close calls

Glen Meadows subdivision moves closer to approval

JOHN CARTER

john.carter@metroland.com

Developer Peter Smith’s plans for the 40-lot Glen Meadows subdivision has moved nearer reality after a public planning meeting was completed on the proposal Jan. 17. Smith said he anticipates moving into high gear on the subdivision off Russett and Campbell drives in April. With the subdivision being built on 40 acres, the average lot size will be slightly under one acre, much less than the original plans that anticipated use of town water and sewer. Smith and Bruce Whitehead of Jp2g Consultants explained reasons for drainage and lot size decisions at the meeting attended by about 10 people in the McNab-Braeside council chambers. In response to a concern expressed by Don Carmen about flooding from the three creeks that flow into the area, Smith maintained his development will improve drainage in the area for his property and that of neighbours, not cause more headaches. The drainage to deal with seasonal flooding will be conducted hand-in-hand with the road work for the subdivision, he said. Special septic provisions are being taken to ensure the high water table in the area isn’t affected and drainage infrastructure will improve flow away from the area, he explained. The septic systems will be raised and located in the front yards and have greater than usual sand filter depth. Whitehead pointed out there are about 132 homes in the area and there is no evidence their septic systems are contaminating the aquifer. He explained that there was a lot grading and drainage plan as well as a stormwater management plan that addresses the issue of drainage with respect to this subdivision. The plans would also be reviewed by the township engineers as well as the County of Renfrew to ensure all drainage concerns are addressed, he said. Township staff and Golder Associates, who performed a peer review of the plans, appear content that the septic fields can be properly installed, even on the four lots under .6 of an acre. The township’s sewage system inspector Doug Schultz advised he had no concerns and noted a hydrological investigation report and terrain analysis for the subdivision will be required before final approvals.

Warden recognizes loss of two past wardens and Sullivan STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Warden Bob Sweet paid condolences to the families of three well-known Renfrew County residents during his warden’s address to county council Jan. 25. He extended condolences to the family of Henry Murdoch of Arnprior, who died Dec. 30, 2011. Murdoch was a member of county council in 1973 and 1974, then again from 1986 to 1992. He served as the county warden in 1988. Sweet also noted the death of 1991 county warden Dennis Carmody of Pembroke on Jan. 24 and the loss of Tom Sullivan, who died Jan. 14. Sullivan was an Arnprior councillor who sat on county council from 1966 to 1972. Sullivan, who was perhaps best known as the head of M. Sul-

livan & Son Limited in Arnprior, was involved with several major projects in the county. These included Renfrew County Place, Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre and Miramichi Lodge. M. Sullivan & Son also built the new auditorium at Bonnechere Manor. In the same address, Sweet said the Eastern Ontario Regional Broadband Network Project is ahead of schedule and under budget. He noted Renfrew County’s access will be completed in 2013 and 2014. He also referred to the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus priorities for 2012. These include enhancement of the Eastern Ontario Development Fund; development of an Eastern Ontario Economic Development Strategy that includes the nuclear industry and U.S.Canada border crossings; skills and training development; supporting the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s pursuit

Changes needed at county council, mayor suggests Deep River Mayor David Thompson has suggested that Renfrew County council and staff examine how council does some of its business if it wants to include younger representatives. His remarks, during the Jan. 25 session of county council, were an extension of comments made at the previous week’s county council budget workshop by Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack. To include a better cross-section of society within county council’s ranks, Stack suggested one step was by offering slightly more remuneration to county councillors. During the Jan. 25 meeting, the 2012

county budget was approved. That budget included increase based salaries of $3,000 (from nothing) for county councillors, as well as a base salary increase from just over $21,000 to $25,000 for the county warden. “I don’t think it’s a ﬁnancial consideration,” said Thompson. “What we may need to give some consideration to is if we meet during the day, (because) that precludes a whole bunch of folks from participating in this process. “I know the work level varies, depending on what committees you serve on. But on average we’re here about three days a month. That kind of means you have to be retired, self-employed or unemployed. So with regular work, one would ﬁnd it

quite difﬁcult to come in and serve in this chamber.” In his municipality, Thompson said discussion is underway about changing the role of the mayor so another member of Deep River council sits on county council “because the task is to onerous to be a good mayor, a good county representative, and to be a good dad, a good husband run a business.” “There’s just not enough hours in the day.” In the end, Thompson said he didn’t think the extra $3,000 as a base salary is going to make a difference. “Some consideration has to be made to when and how we do that business (on county council).”

Sandvik celebrates 150 years, more than 35 in Arnprior By SHERRY HAAIMA Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC Business - Celebrations held Tuesday in Arnprior to recognize the 150th anniversary of Sandvik were much like the ongoing experience of those who work there – management, staff and workers coming together for the ultimate success. Sandvik Materials Technology Canada, part of the Sandvik Group headquartered in Sweden, has its own storied history in Arnprior, starting out in1975 as Noranda. The plant makes stainless steel tube, strip, wire and bar and high-alloyed steel and specialty metals. Arnprior Mayor David Reid, a guest at the Jan. 31 celebration at the plant, said it was ﬁtting to share the town’s 150th birthday with an industry that has been such a big part of the community over the years. Reid, who grew up around the corner and can recall the plant being built in the 1970s, helped general manager Mike Hall raise a special anniversary ﬂag and addressed the crowd before a buffet lunch for the workers and guests. “It’s a very proud day for us all. Thank you very much for being a part of Sandvik and the community of Arnprior,” said Reid. “We look forward to more celebrations in the

Sandvik management, staff and workers join guests outside the plant Jan. 31 for a flag-raising and anniversary event marking the Sweden-based company’s 150th anniversary. Formerly Noranda, Sandvik opened in Arnprior in 1975. future.” Hall welcomed the group of guests and visitors, which included recent retirees. Hall, himself a relatively new addition to the Sandvik team, thanked all those in attendance for their role in the plant’s success and for coming together to celebrate the milestone.

Highlights over the years Norm McLellan started out as an electrician pretty much back in the beginning, seeing it as a job with opportunities for advancement. Now maintenance manager, McLellan has nothing but good things to say about Sandvik. “It’s been a very good company to work for,” says McLel-

lan. “I think the success of the whole plant is because of the people who work here.” Employees, staff, management – all have found a way to work together. “We’re very team-oriented,” says McLellan. The same basic product is being made, it’s the technology to make it that has changed

over the years. Sandvik is a very diversiﬁed company, says McLellan. Sandvik supplies its tubes to a variety of industries, including chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper, oil and gas, power, semiconductor and aerospace. “We’ve responded very well to market demand over

the years,” he says. More than 200 people work at Sandvik, from Arnprior and Renfrew and other parts of the Ottawa Valley and the city of Ottawa. People come to Sandvik and stay there, evidence that it’s a good company to work for, say employees. The boxes of newspaper clippings, photos of the plant and even snapshots from company events show the camaraderie grew with the success of the business. Such has been the case for machine shop lead hand Brian Purdie Sr., whose two sons have come to work at Sandvik. “I’ve been here since day one,” says Purdie, who started in October 1975. The plant has celebrated the retirement of several originals of late. “If it wasn’t a good place to work, we wouldn’t still be here,” he said. Shift supervisor Doug Newton is a relative newbie to Sandvik, starting two years ago when he relocated from Windsor. He found not only a good job but a great group of people to work with and a good community in which to raise his family. He sees a positive future for the company. “Overall it’s been a positive experience,” says Newton. See Page 7 for more anniversary coverage.

Be a good Canadian: make the best of winter W

inter carnival time, now that February has arrived, has begun in earnest, and not a minute too soon. With the excitement of the Christmas season now a vague memory of overindulgence; and with the cold, hard reality of New Year resolutions wearing thin; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for a little fun. Arnprior got the ball rolling with the annual Optimist funfest. And Fitzroy, Pakenham and Renfrew followed suit last weekend with their annual carnivals. With weather expected to moderate during February (maybe), more of the carnival action moves outside for traditional pursuits such as logger sports, shinny challenges and ice fishing derbies. First up is the Kinburn Carnival this weekend. And, of course, Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winterlude begins Friday and runs through Feb. 20. The Feb. 11-12 weekend is winter carnival

central in the Upper Ottawa Valley with festivities are in Braeside, Douglas, Carp, Dacre and maybe even Calabogie. The Family Day weekend features the McNab and Northcote carnivals and ice fishing derbies at Castleford, Fitzroy and Cobden. The last weekend of February includes a fish derby in Calabogie and carnival in Horton. So there are plenty of opportunities to get out and celebrate winter. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly better than hiding from it. Sure, there are snowbirds who take flight for warm, foreign soil. But many Renfrew County residents like it right here at home, thank you very much. For some, winter means solitary pursuits like cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. Others prefer the thrill of downhill skiing, a game of pick-up hockey with buddies or throwing a few rocks at the local curling rink.

Feel the need for speed? The region offers more than 2,500 kilometres of groomed snowmobile trails. There is also a keen community of anglers who find joy and rejuvenation in the ancient art of ice fishing. Yes, Canada has a rich tradition of making fun of winter. A 1933 book by Edwin C. Guillet on Pioneer Social life tells the tale of our winter sports heritage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; playful pursuits on ponds and rivers and lakes. Horses were also key to winter celebrations in days gone by, and they remain a reminder of our rural past as horse-drawn sleigh rides are offered at many of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carnivals. Winter carnivals are a wonderful distraction during the long, hard days of winter in Canada. But, most of all, carnivals are about community and co-operation.

In the coming weeks, towns and villages across Renfrew County will host carnivals, thanks to the tireless efforts of teams of volunteers who step up to the plate every year, to brighten the dark days of winter. Thanks to all these kind people who know that winter is only as cold, or as warm, as you choose to make it. So grab your boots, mittens and a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy.

Web Poll POLL QUESTION RESULTS

THIS WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S POLL QUESTION

Do you support Canadian heritage designation for the Ottawa River?

A) Yes. The Ottawa River is worthy of the heritage designation and the potential economic beneďŹ ts such as tourism.

56%

22%

C) The designation should be granted, with protections built in for property owners. D) Designation of the river would likely have no real impact, either way.

22% 0%

Hospital drop-off blocked by parkers Tourist centre should be located near the highway

To the Editor: Whose responsibility is it to enforce the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;drop-off onlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; area at our Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital? Is it the hospital staff or our local police forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job to charge people for the misuse of these spaces? Last week, I took my husband for a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment at the Medical Centre. Because of his pain and much difďŹ culty in walking with two canes, I proceeded to try and drop him off at the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;drop-off onlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; space. Not only were there two cars parked there, but one was partially blocking the walkway to the building. With great difďŹ culty, I helped my husband get out of the car, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to leave my car there. I parked in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;parking lotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for a mere two dollars. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me these people cannot afford a toonie, which goes toward upgrading the ongoing expenses at our hospital.

For three years prior, I took my cancer-stricken sister for more doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visits than I can remember. She too had great difďŹ culty in walking with a cane, plus she needed my arm to support her weakened condition. Again the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;drop-off spotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was always full. One day it was a man sitting in what looked like a white Cadillac. When he noticed our dilemma, he moved to the opposite side of where he was parked, making it difďŹ cult for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;paidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; patients to drive by. I also have been bringing my 95-year-old mother for her doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointments and run into the same problems. No drop-off spots available. She also uses a cane and sometimes a walker or wheelchair. How can some people be so inconsiderate of the needs of others? May they never need those spots because of a medical condition.

8 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, February 2, 2012

To the Editor: Re: Arnprior Tourist Centre downtown or near Highway (Jan. 26 Chronicle Guide EMC). No one is more passionate about a tourist centre for Arnprior than I am. This was a central part of my campaign for mayor of Arnprior and something I continue to ďŹ ght for as a member of Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Development and Planning Committee. Asking the Town of Arnprior to locate a tourist centre in the downtown core is similar to asking a ďŹ sherman to keep all his lures in the boat.

would all the downtown business owners or ďŹ shermen sit in their boat looking at their lures and wonder why are the ďŹ sh not biting? Maybe if we just yelled louder from the downtown core, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy.â&#x20AC;? I have never seen ďŹ sh jump into a boat before, but it could happen. Seriously, the Town of Arnprior already has three municipal buildings in our downtown core or BIA district. They include the Arnprior Town Hall, library and museum.

The latest assault on smokers rights going too far JIM SILYE

Guest columnist

Henry David Thoreau, the American poet, philosopher, once said: “It’s not what you look at that counts, it’s what you see.” And when “I look” at someone smoking outside on a patio bar or in designated public areas, “I see” a person who respects the rights of non-smokers. These smokers are complying with the law and they understand and know the dangers of tobacco. They can’t smoke in any enclosed public areas, inside ofﬁce buildings, restaurants, bars, or gaming rooms and they don’t complain, having accepted the argument of the dangerous effects of second-hand smoke.

So what’s my point you ask? Well, here it is. Ottawa’s Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Isra Levy, states that he has “significant support” and believes it is the “will of the people” in Ottawa that smoking be banned in outdoor bars and restaurants, and municipal properties such as parks, beaches, sports fields and areas outside city facilities. This is being recommended because he knows that second-hand smoke is as “toxic” outdoors as indoors. He must have mountains of evidence and solid proof that second hand smoke “kills.” I’d like to see it. So, here we go again. The do-gooders, the “I know what’s best for you crowd” want to impose even further restrictions on smokers who

are not breaking any laws, all because he wants Ottawa to be a healthier place (will Arnprior follow suit?) Last time I checked smoking is legal in Canada, yet pretty soon there will be no place one can indulge in the habit. I could never ﬁgure out why an entrepreneur couldn’t open a bar or pool hall where smoking is allowed. Non-smokers can stay away. Mind their own business and leave one little area where smokers can smoke without feeling guilty. Plus they would be out of sight. Proponents of the Nanny State argue that smoking drives up the cost of health care. That is correct, but so do a lot of other legal activi-

ties like alcohol, but alcohol aside I submit that the major portion of our health care costs are more related to what and how we eat as opposed to cigarettes. As Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, of ancient Greek times, stated: “you are what you eat (I should probably give up my Hungarian sausage).” Smokers should unite and demand a ‘Smokers Bill of Rights’. By the way, I am not a smoker. I just believe that smokers are picked on way too much by politicians and bureaucrats who want to look good in the public eye and be politically correct. I say to them, butt out, you’ve done enough.

Tourist centre near the highway could be made into a major attraction Continued from Page 8 Two of these locations already have tourist information for the public, but are not open seven days. Only a few volunteers would be needed to provide Saturday and Sunday tourist information at the Town Hall or the same volunteers could expand the museum hours and open seven days a week. The facilities are already in the downtown core. That could save a lot of money.

The best location to locate a tourist centre is on or near the highway. This is where the fish are swimming past our town. How many people in Arnprior know of the tourist booth near Renfrew with the nice railroad Caboose near the highway. It contains thousands of flyers and promotional materials of many local communities, with the exception of one flyer from the Arnprior Museum. Did you know that Arnprior has no highway billboard or signage pro-

THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS

moting our beautiful town anywhere westward from Renfrew? Shame on the BIA for not wanting to contribute funds unless the new tourist centre is located downtown. As a member of the BIA, I strongly suggest the BIA support all projects that promote our town. Let’s use some of the $100,000 that the BIA has been sitting on for years and help promote our town on new billboards and a highway tourist centre where the ﬁsh are biting into Timbits and gassing up.

Did you also know that the Town of Arnprior has an old Pointer Boat in storage and a broken statue of Joe Mufferaw? A few years ago, I was promoting an idea to have a rest stop with a refurbished and freshly painted pointer boat sitting up on display pushing many logs from the Ottawa River with a walking path around it and Joe Mufferaw on display for tourists to take pictures of and stop into a new tourist centre beside it. Might take a few years to ﬁnish,

but I am willing with many other local business owners and volunteers to see this type of project move forward near the highway and visible. We could ask other local communities to ﬁnancially support this project including Ottawa to help promote all tourists heading east into Ottawa and others heading west into Renfrew County. We are the gateway to both. Douglas Smith Arnprior

Principal Véronique Pourbaix-Kent said the program is their best kept secret. “Our students shine in university and particularly those who have an IB diploma,” Pourbaix-Kent said. “We are very proud of them and proud of our program.” Students at Collège catholique FrancoOuest are taught exclusively in French, except for their English classes. PourbaixKent added the students do extremely well in all of their English classes. They follow the same curriculum and study the same novels and poetry as students in English schools. Upon graduation, students can choose between French or English postsecondary education, learning a trade, or entering the work-force. The school’s principal for the past six years, Pourbaix-Kent is very proud of her school, describing it as a relaxed and family-oriented environment. The open house will be a reﬂection of that with teachers and students available to speak about their programs and offering tours of the school. The IB Programme prepares students for university and in some cases, highlevel courses are recognized as ﬁrst year

university credits. The principal adds that the IB Programme fosters great habits – allowing students to learn how to lead a balanced life of volunteering, juggling workloads, ﬁnding their own creativity within the arts and learning the importance of keeping ﬁt for life. Once in university, students already know how to respond and excel.

The IB Programme will not be the only focus of the open house. FrancoOuest being very sports oriented, it also offers many programs to appeal to the diverse interests of its student population, including the arts. Pourbaix-Kent said there really is something for everyone. “We have a Justice Concentration, where in partnership with lawyers, judges, police and probation officers, students get a taste for what type of careers they can consider in this field,” Pourbaix-Kent explained. Students in the Media Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) have the opportunity to learn all about film and photography, broadcasting and studio design work, and the SHSM is mentioned on their diploma when they graduate from the programme. Then there is the Construction Programme, where students actually have the opportunity to build a house for Minto Group. “Even though we are a smaller school we really try to answer the needs of all our students. We offer the best of both worlds: a smaller school in a family-oriented setting, and excellent programmes to prepare them for their future” Pourbaix-Kent said. The open house, the principal added, is a good opportunity for parents and students to get a real sense of what the school is about.

The open house starts at 7 pm on February 7, 2012 www.franco-ouest.ecolecatholique.ca

Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition By KATE BURMAN Coop student

EMC Editorial - Well this is it, my last article for Coop. Looking back over the last several months, I remember writing my ďŹ rst article and feeling so proud. I also remember feeling such excitement when I ďŹ rst saw my article in print. I must have picked up at least eight copies. I cannot help thinking about everywhere that co-op has taken me and everything that it has taught me. I have gone from sports events to coffee houses, to the food bank, to fundraising events, to advice/opinion articles and, of course, to the arts. Some weeks I had three articles on the go and some weeks I was scrounging at the last minute for an article idea. I have experienced writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s block and I have experienced too many words ďŹ&#x201A;oating around in my brain. I have been on quite the journey.

In the end, I could not be more thankful for this opportunity, as I have learned so much. I have learned how to get rid of writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s block, how to take better pictures and how to pull a reader in hook, line and sinker. THANKS TO THE READERS

Standing at the end of this road, I would like to thank all of the readers out there who read my articles and everyone at the Chronicle Guide. I enjoyed getting to know each and every one of you and I have learned so many things that I will take with me. I would like to end this article with a favourite quote of mine that ďŹ ts the situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the noise of othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Steve Jobs

In nature, white can be worn in winter Fashion trend more evident in northern region

EMC Lifestyle – Having been unaware of fashion trends, I was surprised to learn that there was a dress code for the seasons. Black is apparently okay to wear year-round, but white cannot be worn past Labour Day and neither can it be donned before the U.S. Memorial Day. Thus, for any fashion-conscious person, white is a “no-no” for winter. Obviously wild animals are not aware of this fashion dictate, especially in northern regions. Arctic Fox, Willow Ptarmigan and Arctic Hare are white at this time of year. In a previous column, I discussed how due to hollow spaces in hairs and feathers, white is the warmest colour, especially where wind is a factor. Locally, three animals turn white just for winter. Snowshoe Hares are one. The other two are hunters: Long-tailed and Short-tailed

weasels both shed their coats of brown in exchange for one of white. Apart from size, the two species are near identical in winter, but a large male Shorttailed Weasel (the smaller of the two) can approach the size of a female Long-tailed Weasel. Both species are fully white and sport beady black eyes and a black tip to their tail. The black tip is an interesting anomaly and has been the source of much speculation. If camouﬂage was the main reason for the white pelage, then the tail tip, logically, should be white too. However, it is not. One reasonable theory is that if a larger predator should try to catch a white weasel, the black tip might become its target, allowing the weasel to escape. I have received reports of both weasels this winter. Mary and Joanna Jack

To their amazement on the adjacent tree sat a white Longtailed Weasel, which was obviously responsible for the eviction of the squirrel from its tree cavity. To see either of these two animals is not a common event, but to witness both at one time during the day is exceedingly rare. MIDNIGHT COMMOTION

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way were taking part in the Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count when they came across a Flying Squirrel sitting motionless against a tree trunk. Curious about seeing a nocturnal animal out in daylight hours, they looked around for an answer.

Years ago, I heard a Red Squirrel creating quite a commotion near midnight. A street light allowed me to ﬁnd it clinging to the trunk of a White Pine with a Long-tailed Weasel attached to the opposite side of the same tree. Whenever the weasel made a dash around the trunk, the squirrel made a counter move and climbed higher. Eventually, the squirrel made a dash along a high branch and leapt to the next pine. The weasel followed, hot on its tail.

Quickly, both were out of sight and the conclusion to the chase went unobserved. It might seem surprising that weasels climb trees. In fact, many species, including the much larger Pine Marten and Fisher, spend a lot

of time off the ground. These species, however, obviously know the rules of fashion. They wear brown in winter! The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

Naturalists to hold quiz night on Feb. 7 EMC Lifestyle - The February meeting of the Macnamara Field Naturalists Club will take the form of a quiz night. Club president Michael Runtz will provide the riddles for the session, which will be held Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the Arnprior Curling Club. All members and those interested in nature are welcome to attend. Next month’s meeting (March 6) will feature a presentation by award-winning biologist Ken Storey of Carleton University on overwintering insects, frogs and other animals.

If the Goshen gopher and White Lake Willie saw their shadows this morning (Thursday) on Groundhog Day it’s supposed to mean there at least six more weeks of winter. That would be music to the ears of organizers of upcoming winter carnivals, fun days and ice ﬁshing derbies in Braeside, McNab, Kinburn, Horton and Fitzroy Harbour. If the groundhogs don’t see their shadows, winter is supposed to end early.

Book explores gender, mental illness from a parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective By SHERRY HAAIMA Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC Lifestyle -Arnprior author Jamie Johnson is ready to share her story with the world. Johnson, who writes under a pseudonym, is signing copies of her ďŹ rst novel, Secret Selves, this Saturday, Feb. 4 at the Arnprior Book Shop. Secret Selves, explains Johnson, explores the process a parent goes through when their child grows up to be a little different than planned. Johnson has lived through it with her own transgender son, and a second time when her other teenage son emerged with ďŹ ve strange new personalities. Her book, which targets parents struggling with life challenges, shows how the process of acceptance can bring back a feeling of peace, says the author. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your kids will not always turn out exactly as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d planned, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to love them for who they are â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just the way they are,â&#x20AC;? says Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one is a perfect parent and we all make mistakes,â&#x20AC;? Johnson feels her father, a wellknown Arnprior artist and ďŹ re chief, would have been proud of her attempt to help people through art. She says she is comfortable with people in Arnprior and the surrounding community knowing her identity but with the pseudonym she is protecting her children, especially one son whose employer might not be

aware of his history. The last thing she wants is to cause any problems for her kids, says Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a huge risk, but there is a risk he could lose his job,â&#x20AC;? she says. The second reason for sharing her story, however, is to help others in her situation. Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work covers subjects that are controversial and widely misunderstood.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your kids will not always turn out exactly as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d planned, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to love them for who they are - just the way they are.â&#x20AC;? JAMIE JOHNSON, SECRET SELVES AUTHOR

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people do not understand what so many kids go through. I want people to know what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to be a transgender. I want people to learn more about how mental illness affects the members of the family. And I want people out there, like us, struggling with their own challenges, to know that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone,â&#x20AC;? says Johnson. She allowed her children to see the book and make suggestions before it was sent off for publishing. One of them made detailed notes and offered his opinions. His ultimate approval was evident at the

end, however, said Johnson, a simple â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;clap, clap, clap.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very, very supportive because they feel the message is very important,â&#x20AC;? she says. The Arnprior entrepreneurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short non-ďŹ ction pieces have appeared in several Canadian publications, but this is her ďŹ rst novel, a labour of love that took ďŹ ve years to complete. The process of writing and rewriting the book was very therapeutic, says Johnson, and also taught her and her children things they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about each other. She says that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had nothing but positive feedback about Secret Selves. Just last week she got a call from a mom who said the book had helped her with parenting challenges, words that make the hard work worth it. Johnson says she wrote the book thinking that she would have beneďŹ ted from something similar when she was facing her own parenting challenges. But her story isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t written like a textbook, says Johnson, instead it includes humour and suspense that keeps the reader interested. Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memoir, Secret Selves, is also available at a Sense of Country (167 Raglan St. Renfrew). Johnson will be signing copies of Secret Selves at the Arnprior Book Store (152 John St. N) on Saturday, Feb. 4 from noon to 2 p.m., where copies of the book are for sale.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A group of young Native drummers and Pow Wow dancers entertained a large group of Arnprior-area school students with a performance-in-the-round on Jan. 24. About 20 students taking Native Language studies at Eganville District Public School and St. James Catholic School from Grade 5 to 8 hosted a small Pow Wow at St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall in Arnprior. The event was organized by Arnprior District High School teacher Ryan McKenna and he brought his own students as well as students from Walter Zadow Public School and St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic School to take part in the Pow Wow as well. Native Language teacher Michelle Gaudry spoke of the Native Language program for the two schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year the students made the drum theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using,â&#x20AC;? she said pointing to the large

Gaudry said, but they â&#x20AC;&#x153;drum regularly three times a week at their own schools and get together to practice one time a week. In one school year the boys I have, have come a long way.â&#x20AC;? Gaudry told the audience her Native name translates to One Who Walks on the Crust of the Snow and she is part of the Mukluk Tribe of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan. After introductions and explanations the Native Language students, led by Gaudry, performed many Algonquin songs and dances for the roughly 100 Arnpriorarea students surrounding the performance. Many of the students, and Gaudry herself, wore colourful, traditional garb. Preceding each song and dance, Gaudry would explain the signiďŹ cance and the heri-

Brownies earn badges at overnight event EMC Lifestyle - The Fourth Arnprior Brownies had their ﬁrst overnight of the year at the Christian Education Centre Friday, Jan. 27. After setting up the tents in the hall, the girls made pretzels from scratch and earned their ‘Exploring Space’ badge. On Saturday morning the girls helped with breakfast, made bird feeders and then set off into the Grove to earn their ‘Birdwatcher’ badge. They returned to the CEC for lunch and crafts. It was a fun and productive overnight that was enjoyed by everyone.

Castleford fishing derby Feb. 18 peter.clark@metroland.com

The popular Castleford Charity Ice Fishing Derby is running a few weeks earlier than usual this year. “Due to warmer winters and unfavourable ice conditions, the Castleford Charity committee has felt the need to move up the date for the fishing derby,” committee member Don Storie said on Monday. As a result, the seventh annual derby will run on family fishing weekend, Saturday, Feb. 18. The Castleford Charity Ice Fishing Derby, which regularly has had winners from Arnprior and McNab-Braeside has raised more than $25,000 for local charities over the first six years of the derby, Storie noted. “All of this is made possible by the overwhelming support of our local businesses, volunteers and residents of the Valley, who support our charity efforts,” The 2012 recipients are Community Living Renfrew County South (Arnprior and Renfrew), CEDSA (Assisting Children With Ectodermal Displasia Syndromes), and the Horton Community Centre. Information on the fishing derby can be found at www.castlefordicefishingderby.com. Entry fees are adults $10, and ages 17 and under, $5.

Tickets are available at JR’s County Store in Chenaux, Robbins Convenience Store Braeside, Towey’s Bay’t and Tackle Arnprior, Gourley’s Variety and Gas Bar Renfrew, B&B Buy Back Arnprior, and Scott & Sons Hardware and NAPA Auto Parts in Renfrew. On derby day, tickets can be purchased at Larry Rawn’s garage at the corner of Thomson Road and the River Road. Weigh-ins of fish will done at the same location. “As usual, there will be many prizes drawn on your derby tickets from our pool of prizes donated by our local businesses,” Storie said. The adult entry draw prizes are an eight-man portable ice hut and a power auger. The kids entry draw prize is a 110cc ATV. The person bringing in the largest fish receives $300 and a trophy. There are also men, women, intermediate and junior categories which win money prizes and trophies. A shanty breakfast gets underway at 6 a.m., and supper at 5 p.m. supplied by the Horton Volunteer Firefighters Association at the Horton Community Centre. Awards are at 7 p.m. Entertainment supplied by Rick and Bailey Rogers follows. “What better way to enjoy free family fishing weekend than outside in the fresh air,” Storie said.

Councils updated on 2012 World Broomball Championships EMC Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This fall the best broomballers in the world will showcase their talent at arenas in Almonte, Arnprior, Beckwith, Carleton Place and Pakenham â&#x20AC;&#x201C; during the World Broomball Championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We present these championships with great pride,â&#x20AC;? said John Dalgity, speaking to Mississippi Mills councillors during the Jan. 9 Recreation and Culture Committee meeting. Dalgity is a member of the host committee. George Brown (chair), Al Reid, Ruth Brown, Jamie Dewar, Kevin Kealey, Todd Munro, Katy Naylor, Rob Munro and Ken and Pam Naylor join him, along with community liaisons Glen Arthur (Arnprior), Cassandra McGregor (Beckwith), Joanne Henderson (Carleton Place) and Paul Watters (Mississippi Mills). â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of us are very experienced in broomball,â&#x20AC;? said Dalgity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;George has been hosting tournaments in the valley for over 35 years. He is also the VP tech of Broomball Canada.â&#x20AC;? The International Federation of Broomball Associations (IFBA) organizes the championships every even-numbered year. They were held in Innsbruck, Austria in 2010, and Tomakomai, Japan is the destination in 2014. While in Austria, local representatives (including Dalgity) met at Olympia World to bid on the 2012 championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were successful,â&#x20AC;? exclaimed Dalgity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a big deal for the Ottawa Valley. They usually give it to bigger cities.â&#x20AC;? Canada has consistently produced some of the top broomball teams in the world, he continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been played in the Ottawa Valley since the mid 1950s.â&#x20AC;? During the 2012 championships, Oct. 29 to Nov. 3, host venues will include the Almonte and District Community Centre, Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior, Beckwith Recreation Complex, Neelin Street Community Centre and Stewart Community Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beckwithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facility has one ice surface and

an indoor soccer ďŹ eld, which will be used for the banquet and other events,â&#x20AC;? said Dalgity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ nal games will be held in Arnprior because they can hold more people.â&#x20AC;? He expects 64 teams to participate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from 14 countries (Australia, Austria, Canada, England, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, Sweden, Slovenia, Switzerland and United States). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each team averages 18 players, with four coaching staff,â&#x20AC;? explained Dalgity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be one ofďŹ cial for every two teams, along with 100 volunteers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a total of 1,540 direct participants. Our local businesses will have access to a broad target audience.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 400 rooms blocked off at six hotels in Kanata,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also accommodations in Arnprior and Carleton Place.â&#x20AC;? The event is expected to bring in around $3.5 million in economic spin-off to the area. Dalgity gave details of the range of sponsorship packages: â&#x20AC;˘ WBC Booster Club ($20 plus); â&#x20AC;˘ Program Advertising (printing contracts); â&#x20AC;˘ 5 Star Program ($100 plus); â&#x20AC;˘ Friends of the World Broomball Championships ($1,000 of goods or services); â&#x20AC;˘ Bronze ($3,000); â&#x20AC;˘Silver ($5,000); â&#x20AC;˘ Gold ($7,500); â&#x20AC;˘ Promotional Partners. There will be no shortage of events between Oct. 29 and Nov. 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have an opening ceremony, formal ball drops in every community, a civic reception, theme night (Halloween), grand banquet, local school involvement, and a marketing event with Japan representatives,â&#x20AC;? said Dalgity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good job,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Denzil Ferguson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic for the community,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Bernard Cameron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A tremendous economic boost.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep up the good work,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Rick Minnille. In a game of broomball there are two teams, each consisting of six players: a goaltender and ďŹ ve others. Players hit a small ball around the ice with a stick called a broom, and play-

ers wear special rubber-soled shoes instead of skates. Organizers held an introductory press conference on Nov. 30 at the Best Western in Bells Corners. For more information, visit www.2012worldbroomball.ca.

Marion Barr, with the help of Almonte Thunder captain Aaron MacCosham, left, and Arnprior Packers captain, Ryan Eady, kicks off a weekend of Frost Fest events at a special hockey game at the Pakenham arena last Friday. The Pakenham Civitan Club rolled out the red carpet at the community centre to kick off Pakenham Frost Fest 2012 and honour several members of Pakenham’s royal family, including Barr, who dropped the puck to begin the hockey game. The game was a barnburner, as it came down to the final two seconds of overtime for the Packers to score the winning goal for a 5-4 final.

Packers win Frost Fest tilt, clinch first 245 DANIEL ST., ARNPRIOR

February 4 & 5, 2012 $12.00 $8.00 377555_0202

By JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

EMC Sports - The Arnprior Packers ran their unbeaten streak to 18 with a last-second overtime win over Almonte Thunder last Friday. The Packers, who have clinched ﬁrst place in the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League’s Valley Division, haven’t lost since mid-November. The newest Packer Derek Lowry scored with two seconds left to give the Packers the win in the Pakenham Frost Fest game at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham. Ironically, Lowry, the Valley Division’s leading scorer, was traded by the Thunder to Arnprior three weeks ago. His overtime winner was set up by last year’s Valley Division most valuable player Taylor Collins. It gave Arnprior its ninth straight win (the Packers have 17 wins and a tie in their last 18 games). The Frost Fest tilt gave the fans their money’s worth. Almonte’s Andrew Rowbotham started the scoring on the power-play at 8:34 of the ﬁrst, but Mitch Parker tied it for Arnprior with just over a minute left in the opening stanza. Thunder retook the lead with a power-play goal by Aaron MacCosham at 6:39 of the second and Rowbotham made it 3-1 less than a minute later. However, the Packers tallied twice at 14:45 and 15:57 to draw even. Parker Davies and Parker with his second were the Packer marksmen. Drake Clancy then gave the Thunder a 4-3 lead by scoring at 16:26. Early in the third period Davies scored his second goal of the game to knot the score again. Neither team was able to beat the goalies through the rest of the third period and for all but two seconds of overtime, until Lowry struck against his old team.

Almonte goalie Chad Hetherington stopped 47 shots as Arnprior outshot Almonte 52-43, including 5-3 in overtime. Mike Cheslock, who gave regular Packer netminder Matt Couvrette a day off, stopped 39 of 43 shots. The Packers went 0-for-4 on the power-play, while Almonte successfully killed off all four of its penalties and scored twice on the power-play. THREE FIGHT FOR LAST TWO PLAYOFF SPOTS

While the Packers have clinched first, their first-round playoff opponent could be any one of three teams. Almonte, which was almost overtaken on the weekend, took a five-point lead in the battle for third with a 7-4 win over Perth Sunday and a 9-2 blowout of Ottawa Tuesday. The Renfrew Wolves and Stittsville Royals are tied for fourth with 27 points. Arnprior will play the fourth-place finisher in the first round of the playoffs, which start in two weeks. The Packers will have a say on who they play. They go to Shawville Friday, then visit Stittsville Sunday, before hosting the Royals Friday, Feb. 10 at 8 p.m. The Packers round out their season by hosting Renfrew Sunday, Feb. 12 at 7:30 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. This year’s Metro/Valley Conference all-star festivities are being hosted by the Metcalfe Jets Saturday, Feb. 11 at the Walter Baker Sports Centre in Ottawa. VALLEY DIVISION STANDINGS

Pembroke lifes Reinhardt’s #8 to the rafters

By STAFF

EMC Sports - Arnprior hockey star Ben Reinhardt had his number retired in a rousing ceremony in Pembroke Sunday. The former Pembroke Lumber Kings captain is only the second player to be accorded that honour in the long history of the fabled Valley Junior A hockey team. It was also announced at the game that the Central Canada Hockey League’s playoff most valuable player award will be named in Reinhardt’s honour.

ES C N A CH I N! W O T

Close to 2,000 fans were on hand to take in the game and see Reinhardt’s number eight raised to the rafters of the Pembroke Memorial Centre. The fans, appreciative of Reinhardt’s considerable contributions to the team’s ﬁve straight championship seasons, gave him a standing ovation. Among those attending were Reinhardt’s parents Bruce and Dianne, brother Lucas, sister April, and grandparents Charlie and Connie. Reinhardt called it a great moment and told

the fans he is grateful for receiving the honour. It means a lot to him and his family, he added. Lumber King coach and general manager Sheldon Keefe presented Reinhardt with a replica of the banner that was raised to the rafters and a plaque in recognition of his passion, commitment, character and leadership. Emcee Jamie Bramburger called Reinhardt a role model for young players striving to excel at the game. Central Canada Hockey League president Kevin Abrams said Reinhardt’s record of suc-

cess in playing with five straight championship teams was remarkable and likely something that will never be duplicated. He presented Reinhardt with a plaque highlighting his accomplishments and made the announcement that the league’s playoff MVP award will be renamed the Ben Reinhardt Award beginning this season. During Reinhardt’s five years with the team, the Lumber Kings won two Eastern Canada title and one national championship, as well as the five league titles.

With children of his own, I wasn’t surprised when I visited to hear a rap on the door and a group of youngsters standing there wanting to know if Emerson could come out and play. He bought me my ﬁrst ﬂashy bicycle when he came home from overseas. It was blazing red, had feathers on the handlebars, a bell the size of a platter and shiny silver fenders. For a young girl in high school, this was the ultimate bicycle and it served me well for many years. Emerson was tall and when he lived in Port Stanley, Ont., he was known as The Laird. He knew everyone in the town and there was no mistaking him. He often wore plusfours, a deerstalker hat and carried a walking stick with a brass boar on the handle.He was very proud of his family and was devoted to his two grandsons, Tyler and Lucas. We talked often on the phone and he always started his conversation by saying,

“well, g’day, g’ day, how are things in the Valley?” It was always my belief that the war robbed my brother of his childhood: he went overseas as a young boy and came back a man. I often wonder if he had had the chance, could he have gone on to help design all those glass buildings we see in the cities today. He drew them when he was a youngster around our kitchen table on the farm. We thought at the time that Emerson was “different.” Imagine glass towers from ground level reaching up into the sky, with elevators going up on the outside. We’d laugh at the absurdity of his dreams. Yes, we’d say, “Emerson is different.” And what of the stories I told about him? Emerson allowed me generous literary licence as his mischievous behaviour became part of my tales of our growing up on a Renfrew County farm. It was touching last Sunday at my church when so many people gave me their sympathy and wondered if the tales about my brother would end. They will go on as before. Memories of a loved one do not cease with his passing. And so I ask you, my faithful readers, to remember a fun-loving, often exasperating, but always full of life individual, who made my stories come alive. I will miss him greatly, as will those who were dear to his heart, but it is my prayer that he is in another place where he has found rest, where his wit will still be intact to amuse and, yes, perhaps confound those around him.

Several residents were honoured at Pakenham Frost Fest, including Marion Barr, who dropped the puck at the hockey game. Barr is known for her warm hospitality, famous butterscotch pies, and for raising eight successful kids.

EMC Lifestyle – Losing a sibling is never easy. You try to remember the good times and they help sustain you as you come to grips with the ﬁnality of the sudden death of a loved one. Last week my brother Emerson, who has been so much a part of these stories since their inception in 1976, passed away. He had a massive heart attack and died in hospital in St. Thomas, Ont. And so this week, please let me tell you about another side of the impish brother who has peppered the pages of this paper for more than 35 years. To do so, I have to roll back the clock to when he was only 16 years old and when he put on the uniform of a Royal Canadian airman. The war had barely started and he wanted so badly to be in the service. He would celebrate his 17th birthday in the Netherlands. He wasn’t the only Canadian “boy soldier” to join up and head to the battleﬁelds, he was just my brother. His mail home was full of description. He had a great talent for painting a picture of whatever country he was in and his ability to always see the lighter side of life certainly manifested itself when he was overseas. He was a dispatch-rider and a picture sent home of him straddling his motorcycle had our mother convinced he was going to end up in jail. Painted in blazing white letters on the motor were two words: “Miss Carriage,” when others serving with him had inscriptions like “Miss Canada” and “Miss America.” We always thought Emerson was

kind) 1/2 cup warm milk 2 eggs, beaten 1 1/8 cup canned niblets corn, drained (1/8 cup = 2 tbsp.) 1 1/8 cup canned creamstyle corn 2/3 cup grated Cheddar cheese 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tsp. dried parsley) 2 tbsp. diced sweet red pepper 1/2 cup cornmeal 1/2 cup ﬂour 2 tbsp. white sugar 2 tsp. baking powder Preheat the oven to375F. Butter an 8x8” cake pan. Soften the cream cheese in the microwave. Depending on the wattage of your oven, this will take about 25-30 seconds on Power Level 3. Repeat, if necessary, until the cheese is

quite soft. In a large bowl, whisk or beat the cream cheese and warm milk together until smooth. Add the eggs, niblets corn, creamed corn, Cheddar cheese, parsley and sweet red pepper. Stir well. In another bowl, mix the cornmeal, ﬂour, sugar and baking powder. Add this to the liquid ingredients, and stir until thoroughly combined. Spread the mixture in the prepared cake pan, and bake at 375F for 30-35 minutes. When a knife inserted into the centre of the pudding comes out clean, the pudding is done. Remove from the oven, and let sit for 5 minutes before cutting and serving. This makes 9-12 pieces depending on how large you cut the portions.

EMC Lifestyle - Corn is an amazing vegetable when you look at the many different forms in which it’s available. There’s fresh corn cooked on the cob, canned or frozen niblets corn, and creamed corn. There’s corn syrup and corn oil which are both liquids. In its dried, ground form, corn is available as cornmeal, cornstarch and corn flour, all used in baking and cooking. And then there are popular snack foods such as popped corn and corn chips. There are thousands of different recipes using corn in one or more of its various forms. This tasty corn pudding is made with three different types – canned niblets corn, creamed corn, and ground cornmeal. It’s colourful, and, as you’d expect, full of the sweet flavour of corn. The pudding has a very dense texture and, as a result, is quite filling. It’s best served as a side dish with a light main course.

EMC Lifestyle - Valentine’s Day is coming up. Many people celebrate Valentine’s Day, whether they are single or in a relationship, but not many people know the story behind Valentine’s Day. According to Wikipedia, the story on how Valentine’s Day originates goes like this. Saint Valentine was rejected by his mistress and he was so heartbroken that he took out his still beating heart and sent it to her to show his love towards her. This is why the heart shapes cards are sent to people in modern celebrations. Valentine’s Day is a huge celebration, always celebrated on Feb. 14 of each year. According to the U.S. Greeting Card Association, over one billion cards are sent worldwide on Valentine’s Day, which is the second busiest holiday for card sending, after Christmas. Eighty-ﬁve per cent of these of the cards are purchased by women. If you are looking for something to do to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, youth in Grades 4-8 can come out to our

Winchester enjoying veteran’s role with Senators By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Time ﬂies, it’s often been said, when you’re having fun. Maybe that’s why — even at the ripe old hockey age of 28 — Jesse Winchester might seem a little young for the veteran’s role with the Ottawa Senators. But given the team’s roster turnover in the past year, the native of nearby Long Sault, Ont., has quickly moved up the ranks in terms of seniority with the team. Four years into his career with the Senators, the graduate of Colgate University in upstate New York — who’s been sidelined recently with a concussion — still feels blessed to be playing the game he loves so close to home. He took some time out with Score to talk about that and a whole lot more: Q: Does it really seem like you’re already in your fourth full season with the Senators? A: When you think about all the places you’ve been and all the games you’ve played … it does seem like it’s been a lot (of time). But if you just ask me quickly, it feels like I got here yesterday. Q: Do you feel like you can provide a leadership/mentoring role to the younger players now on the team? A: I’ve learned the day-today routines and I have a grasp of what it takes to make your body feel good (conditioningwise) and that kind of stuff. So if anybody has any questions, I try to help out as best as I can. I believe in conditioning and being committed, and those are little things that might not always get

tell you that off the ice, you get stronger. It’s a place where you grow as a person as well as a hockey player. You become more independent and ready to take on life after school. Q: A lot of the college players here went to easternbased schools. Any fun rivalry talk between some of you? A: Greener (Colin Greening) is my buddy on the plane and we sit together. He went to my rival school (Cornell), so we had some pretty big games against them. When we played at Cornell, the fans there would throw Colgate toothpaste at us. Cornell’s (nickname) is the Big Red, so when they played at our place, our fans would throw Big Red chewing gum at them and just litter the ice. We reminisce about that kind of stuff, for sure. Q: How much have you enjoyed playing in the NHL so close to home? A: I’m very, very fortunate to have been given the opportunity here. I’m thankful for it every day and I just want to be here as long as I possibly can. Q: How heavy do the ticket requests get from friends and family? A: I’m pretty good that way. I have a ton of family. My mom’s side is pretty much all in Ottawa, and I try to get as many people

out to a game a year with my tickets that we’re given. Q: Your favourite Senators memory to date? A: I remember Matt Carkner’s triple overtime goal (against

Pittsburgh in 2010) to send the series back here. That was pretty memorable. I remember my first goal, my first game and going to Sweden with the team to start my first year here.

playing at that level prepare you for the NHL? A: Ask anyone who played college (hockey) and they’ll

ST. LOUIS BLUES Tuesday, February 7, 7:30 p.m., Sportsnet East With former Stanley Cup winner Ken Hitchcock now behind the bench, the surprising Blues are challenging for top spot in the Western Conference. St. Louis is thriving in a big way on the goaltending work of Jaroslav Halak and Brian Elliott, a former Sens stopper. They also operate behind a solid blue-line corps that includes the likes of the underrated Kevin Shattenkirk, along with Alex Pietrangelo,

Carlo Colaiacovo and Barret Jackman. Up front, the Blues present a balanced attack led by David Backes, T.J. Oshie and Jason Arnott. Meanwhile, Alex Steen is one of the NHL’s top two-way talents at forward.

NASHVILLE PREDATORS Thursday, February 9, 7:30 p.m. Sportsnet East With a typically balanced attack, the Predators entered the NHL all-star break as the league’s hottest team and are right in the thick of the Western Conference playoff chase. Up front, Nashville turns to Martin Erat, David Legwand and former Senators fan favourite Mike Fisher to generate goals. Rookie Craig Smith has been an early-season offensive surprise and earned himself an all-star weekend invite. Few

teams are blessed with a much blue-line talent as Nashville, a group led by all-star Shea Weber and Ryan Suter. In goal, the Predators rely heavily on Pekka Rinne, one of the NHL’s top stoppers.

DUNFIELD, Allan Earl – In loving memory of my husband who was taken from me on February 3, 2008. There is a certain feeling That I keep for you alone, A place that is within my heart, That only you can own. Nothing could be more beatiful, Than the memories I keep of you, To me you were someone special, And God must have thought to too. Always in my heart and thoughts Love you forever Alice

NOT A MATTER OF CHOICE

In Memory of Simon Kasaboski Passed on January 31, 2011

Does a civilized society tolerate Spousal abuse? The violence of rape? The violence of child abuse?

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem so that long ago I lived upon your farm You taught me how to plant a seed and not to do no one no harm We lived, we laughed, we played music until the break of day You told me hard work will never hurt me as we brought in all the hay

The killing by abortion Of defenseless unborn children Is the ultimate violence.

I always felt so special just to be there by your side Even though I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t master your white horse I tried to ride You were like a Father to me, you where more that just a friend And the love that I felt for you, I knew would never end You helped me through some dark times until I saw the light Somehow you knew how to free me from all that I did fright Everyone looked up to you because you were the kind of man Who always had a smile and knew how to understand

Thank You! To everyone who helped celebrate Doug Irwin’s 70th birthday. It was an event that we’ll never forget! People came from far and wide to share their stories and good times. It was a happy gathering for some old friends and work buddies. We learned a lot about the different aspects of the “Duke,” and some about the “Dog.” Very entertaining. Big thanks to Uncle Jim, Uncle Bob, Tante Lucille, and my cousins for sharing and caring. It was amazing having you all here for this special day. Thanks to Ed and Joyce for braving the snow storm. Glad we got together and shared some stories. A special thanks goes to Kelly McRae and Pat Herrick for their patience with me, and for making it happen with such style. Thanks to Hugh Fraser at the Arnprior Legion for the wonderful set up and his attention to detail. What a great day! With warmest thanks and best wishes, Karen Irwin. ('--%%
