Quarry debate set to resume
Asphalt plant proposal studies completed John Carter John.carter@metroland.com
EMC news – After a long lull, the issue of whether a permanent asphalt plant should be approved for the Braeside Quarry is about to spring to the forefront again. McNab-Braeside council has been told the final two peer review studies for the controversial Miller Paving application to expand its Braeside quarry have finally been completed. The application was waiting on the environmental and hydrological geology studies. While the County of Renfrew, which reviews the reports, hasn’t officially received the studies yet, they are expected shortly, McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell said Monday. She said when the township receives the two studies they will be added to the others on the municipal website (www.mcnabbraeside.com) so the public can review them. They will be under the municipal/ planning/information tabs. See SEVERAL MEETINGS, Page 3

Now in his fifth term, Bob Sweet is the popular and respected warden of Renfrew County. But there will be a new warden to open the 2012-13 term. It’s now a pretty safe bet the new warden will be Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon, of Calabogie, who announced Wednesday morning in Arnprior that he will run for the position in the upcoming December election. He made the announcement at the Renfrew County council meeting, which was held in Arnprior’s Nick Smith Centre to help highlight the town’s 150th-anniversary celebrations. See EMON, Page 6
EMC news – The new Renfrew County social service office building being reconstructed in Arnprior is an “excellent addition” to the town, says Reeve Walter Stack. Stack joined with other County mayors and staff members Wednesday morning, just prior to the County Council meeting in Arnprior, in a sod-turning ceremony at 80 McGonigal St. The county has taken over the old Valley Catering building that has been vacant for more than a year. The 5,600-sq.-ft. building, bought by the county earlier this year, is being gutted and completely refurbished by Sullivan and Son.
It is expected to be operational sometime between next January and May. Stack said the project will mean a “huge difference” for the area. “It will clean up the corner and be a great addition to the tax base,” he said. It’s a wise choice as the location off the downtown means it’s accessible, but also out of the public eye, which helps protect the clients’ privacy, he added. Stack noted that the $1.2-million project is just one of several county-related developments in that area of town. A $2.2-million seniors housing project, in which funds were funneled through the county, is being built a block and a half away.

NEWS Dedicated service municipal recognized McNab-Braeside treasurerdeputy clerk Connie Graham usually stays behind the scenes when it comes to township council meetings. She gives her finance and waste management reports and regularly explains complicated issues in those areas to befuddled councillors. When CAOclerk Noreen Mellema was away for an extended time last year, Graham stepped in as caretaker until she returned. At its Sept. 18 meeting, council pushed her into the spotlight to honour her for 20 plus years of municipal service. Council noted her exemplary long-standing service has also been recognized by the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario. She received a 20year award just six months shy of her 25-year anniversary of service as treasurer of the township.
Several meetings expected to give public chance to speak up on asphalt plant Continued from front
The acoustic, air quality, blasting impact, hydrogeological and traffic impact studies are already on the website. Campbell said council will come up with a schedule soon to deal with the application. The matter will be discussed at the next township council meeting on Oct. 3 (Wednesday instead of the usual Tuesday). She said she anticipates the county will have received the studies by then. The matter will be likely be discussed in several upcoming council and committee meetings, all open to the public, prior to it being the subject of a session held by council specifically to get public input. Campbell noted that Miller’s also plans to hold a public meeting or open house on its application.

Arnprior Humane Society holding fun fair, fill ‘em up fundraisers John.carter@metroland.com
EMC events – The Arnprior and District Humane Society has two major fundraisers planned in the next couple of weeks. The society is holding a Fall Fun Fair this Saturday, Sept. 29 at the Arnprior Pet Valu store. The public is welcome to drop by from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to show their support for the local animal shelter. The fun fair will include a barbecue hosted by Angie and Ryan O’Neill, a book and bake sale, balloon animals and face-painting, and giveaways and a raffle. Ida Kelly from Royal Canin will be on hand
to answer questions about pet foods. On Saturday, Oct. 13, the Humane Society is holding its annual ‘Fill ‘em up” supply Drive at the Arnprior Pet Valu. Help the society fill its trunks with much needed supplies from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Among the items needed for the shelter are cat and kitten dry and canned food, liquid laundry soap, bleach and paper towels. There is a full wish list on the society’s website at www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca. The Humane Society, which recently reopened after a brief closure to deal with a feline infection, will also be holding its traditional Photos with Santa fundraiser on the Dec. 8 and 9 weekend.
The county ambulance station down the block was opened about five years ago. County social services committee chairman Peter Emon said the social services building will be state-of-the-art. It will exceed the provincial accessibility standards, he said. He thanked the county’s accessibility committee for its review and input into the building plans. It’s a large investment in Arnprior, but it will pay off in the more efficient provision of services to residents of Arnprior, McNabBraeside and Greater Madawaska, he added. He thanked staff and local clients for their patience while still using the current offices at 100 Madawaska Blvd.
“The facility will serve the people of the Town of Arnprior and Township of McNabBraeside for years to come,” said Warden Bob Sweet before taking hold of the golden shovel. “It should last for many generations. “It’s a good thing … it is needed in this part of the county to service the residents here.” He said the project was made possible by a County-town partnership. “Without it, nothing would be happening.” Emon agreed, noting the county had “very willing and able partners” in the project. During its meeting later at the Nick Smith Centre, County council heard an update on the project from Barry J. Hobin & Associates architect Wendy Brawley.

The proposal is expected to receive a rough ride in some quarters, particularly from some neighbours who were upset by the dust and noise coming from a temporary asphalt plant in the quarry before it moved to Horton. Members of the FACT-MB (Friends Addressing Concerns Together in McNab-Braeside) group have taken the company to court twice over concerns about emissions and possible water contamination. They have also held protests outside the quarry and at Miller’s Arnprior headquarters. However, there are also supporters of the asphalt plant plan, arguing it will provide good-paying jobs for the community. The company has suggested that building a more sophisticated permanent asphalt plant will be more environmentally friendly than using a temporary, or mobile, one.

McNab-Braeside to survey residents on recreation deals Kate Glynn
EMC news - McNab-Braeside residents will soon be given an opportunity to voice their opinion on recreational agreements between the township and the towns of Arnprior and Renfrew. In a 3-2 vote, McNab-Braeside council members decided in favour of conducting a
township-wide survey that some members believe will settle an ongoing debate over how the township should pay for recreation services. Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie initiated the discussion with a request to apply for funding that would cover the cost of employing a person to conduct the survey. Council members were split
over how the survey would be rolled out, with Mayor Mary Campbell suggesting a simple question on the tax bill to solve the dilemma. “This is how much of your tax dollars go towards recreation; how and where would you like to see them spent,� she offered. Blimkie was adamant the information be gathered in
NOTICE TOWN OF ARNPRIOR
LOUD AND CLEAR
“It was loud and clear that they wanted a survey to come out,� she said. “It’s simple and to the point. Do you use the service and do you want to support it. Then you get your numbers that way,� Styles added.. “The problem with the survey is that the people that are passionate about this will respond and others will not,� Campbell pointed out. “There is going to be a disclaimer that failure to return the survey automatically defaults to support for either Arnprior or Renfrew,� Blimkie offered. “Why not default to McNab Braeside?,� Campbell inquired. “Maybe because we are going to decide at the end of this, that if they use the services they will pay for the services,� Blimkie responded.
In the matter of Sections 34(12) of the Planning Act, the Town of Arnprior hereby gives NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING: A public meeting regarding Zoning By-law amendment lands municipally known as 62 Carss Street from Residential One (R1) to Residential Three (R3) Zone. Subject Lands
a survey, pointing out council needed the information right away in order to negotiate a 2014 agreement next year. She suggested a tax bill option would take too long and likely get lost. Coun. Aldene Styles concurred. The option of a conducting a survey was put forward by Styles at a public meeting in May. She said that while the motion was subsequently defeated in a vote by council, there was support from the public.
The Town of Arnprior has received application ZBLA-7/12 for an amendment to Zoning By-law 4990-01, as amended, for the lands described as Lot 5, Plan 34, municipally known a 62 Carss Street, as shown on the attached Key Map.
Public Meeting A public meeting giving the public an opportunity to make representations in respect of the zoning amendment will be held on Monday, October 22nd, 2012 at 6:30p.m. in Council Chambers at the Town Hall, 105 Elgin Street West, Arnprior. Description of Application The proposed zoning amendment would rezone the lands from the Residential One (R1) Zone to the Residential Three (R3) Zone to permit single detached, semi-detached, duplex or rowhouse dwelling units. The current zoning restricts the use of the property to single detached dwelling only. There is a legal non-conforming semi-detached dwelling located on the lands. Further Information To view any information or materials related to the proposal, please contact the Planning OfďŹ ce, Town Hall, 105 Elgin Street West, Arnprior, or on the Town’s web site at www.arnprior.ca.
“We’ve been down this road before. We can’t put a levy on the tax bill,� Campbell interjected. “We won’t call it a levy, we can call it a surcharge or charge for services outside of the township,� replied Blimkie. “You are going to pay for any services we have to buy on your behalf outside of the township.� Styles viewed the results in another way. “Once we get the results of the survey, we rule with the majority. If the majority want services in Arnprior, then we support Arnprior,� she said. “It’s not fair to have recreation levied across all properties,� Blimkie countered. “Let’s have the survey and then we can decide what we are going to do with this debate later,� she added. “I suggest we do that before we embark on this survey,� Campbell said. “We still have to find out how many people use the service and we need to stress the importance of getting the surveys back to us, because we are going to make the decision based on how this survey goes out,� said Coun.Brad Mcllquham. Asked why he objected to her approach, Mcllquham told Campbell, “yours is set up in such a way as to go the way you want it to go. It is skewed in a certain direction,� he said. “I’m limiting the total amount we spend on recreation. Just how much of the
total pie goes to services outside the township is up to the public to respond,� he said. “If someone wants their portion of the pie to go to Arnprior or Renfrew, I have no comment. I’ll shut up. I am not trying to steer it any way, but I am trying to control our total recreation costs and create a level playing field. SURVEY NEEDED
“We still need a survey so people can choose their different options,� Mcllquham concluded. How council will treat the information it gathers and how the survey will be rolled out will be determined at a later date. The average 2012 assessment of a single family home in the township is $213,000 resulting in a total of $2,099.55 in taxes with $846.05 going into the municipality’s coffers. NUMBERS
According to the breakdown published by the township’s treasurer /deputy clerk and appearing on the website, based on the above figures, 6.53 per cent or $55.21, goes toward recreation and library agreements with the town of Arnprior and Renfrew and an additional 7.58 per cent, or $64.11, goes toward the township’s recreation programs and parks. The date for the distributing of the survey has yet to be determined.

With this year’s Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 7-13) poster promoting the theme ‘Have 2 Ways out (of a burning building)’, from left, are Arnprior Mayor David Reid and Sparky the Fire Dog and Arnprior fire prevention officer Rick Desarmia. Council received a fire prevention presentation Monday and responded by declaring October Fire Prevention Month in Arnprior.

‘Have 2 ways out’ of a fire EMC news - Sparky the Fire Dog stopped by Arnprior council Monday to help promote awareness of local Fire Prevention Week, or is the case in Arnprior, month-long activities. “The Arnprior Fire Department has found that Fire Prevention Week is so well-accepted in Arnprior that a week just isn’t enough time to promote and provide public education across the community,” explained fire chief John Okum. “Council helped us out at their Sept. 24 council meeting by proclaiming the entire month as Fire Prevention Month in the Town of Arnprior.” The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has launched this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, ‘Have 2 Ways out’, which is recognized across North America during the week of Oct. 7–13. The focus of this year’s campaign is the importance of fire escape planning and practice. Chief Okum urged all residents to take some time to pre-plan an escape route with their family in their homes. “Fire escape planning is for all ages,
including children, parents and seniors,” he said. “Everyone is at risk if a fire were to occur.” Arnprior fire prevention officers Rick Desarmia and Cory Nicholas reiterated that message in a presentation Monday to council. “If your smoke alarm goes off, everyone should know which way to go,” said Desarmia. “You may have only seconds to get out. You need to be prepared.” Families need to ensure the young and elderly have help if they need it to get out, he added. Desarmia told council that homeowners should also ensure all the exits work and practice an escape plan regularly. Nicholas reported that the fire department has a number of initiatives planned for Fire Prevention Month, including partnering with Nylene and the O’Brien Theatre to get the message out. Firefighters will also be visiting local schools and the library to promote fire safety and there will be public information sessions, he added. He noted the Arnprior Fire Prevention office in conjunction with the library is holding a colouring contest with the theme being , ‘Have 2 Ways out’. It’s

YOUTH INDOOR SOCCER PROGRAM @ The Kenwood Athletic Centre 78 Edward St. S.
for students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 3. Entry forms are available at the library and have to be returned by Oct. 9, with the winning artwork to be used on a bookmark. The fire department is also emphasizing the following steps as ways to reduce fire risk: 1. Prevention – inspect your home for hazards and be observant of unsafe conditions or practices; 2. Detection – ensure proper smoke alarm installation and maintenance on all levels of your home; 3. Escape Planning – have an escape plan and practice regularly with your family. The Arnprior Fire Department will provide fire prevention visits and messages to the Arnprior community, including local schools. The messages can be customized to the needs of the group, whether it’s a workplace, a community group, or a residential complex. If you have questions or would like to organize a fire safety visit, contact the fire prevention office at 613-623-4231, ext. 250.

The drought may have adversely affected many Valley farmers, but not Arnprior’s Gerry Lentz. He grew this huge English cucumber in his William Street garden behind his home. It is 23.5 inches long and weights two-and-three-quarter pounds. One of the keys to his success is that he frequently watered his garden throughout the summer, but he feels the inflated water bill was worth it when vegetables like this are the result.

Emon was interested in running for warden last year, but did not after conferring with Sweet and learning the Petawawa mayor would pursue an unprecedented fifth term. Sweet later confirmed that he would not seek a sixth term Since the early 2000s, there has been no election for warden, since each time the sole candidate was acclaimed. Emon says he has “a pretty substantial endorsement� from his colleagues on county council. “I want to continue to attract conventions and business to the area,� said Emon, who’d like to see more new and younger residents coming to live in the county, whose seniors population is already older than the provincial average. “As such, we need to attract more people ages 30 to 50 to the area. I think that should be a focus, as well as the need to focus on the smaller businesses that we have. A lot of folks are getting to retirement age, and I think we need to assist them in marketing or helping them find people to purchase their businesses, rather than having those businesses just disappear.� He also reiterated what Warden Sweet said last year, namely that the position of warden is more effectively handled when filled by the same person for at least two years. At the same time, he says experienced politicians such as Sweet, who has been in municipal politics for about
STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND
In addition to his responsibilities as mayor, Emon works part-time as a crisis worker with the Pembroke Regional Hospital’s Community Mental Health division. 25 years, could step in and effectively conduct business as the warden for a single-year term. However, Sweet isn’t looking to return for a sixth year. “He does a great job, and if he was going to stay this year, I wouldn’t have offered my name,� said Emon. Asked what he might bring the county as warden, Emon replied, “I have a great deal of experience in a small municipality that’s fairly dynamic, with a series of challenges. “I’ve chaired social services and I’ve sat on all the committees of county council. I bring a fairly calm presence. I undertake a lot of research, so I’m fairly comfortable with my knowledge base. Plus I know enough to ask questions of the people who know the answers.� If elected warden, Emon says he’ll continue the county’s traditional push for more
funding tied to the Crown land, and the need for municipal credits as a result of the farm tax credit and managed forests. “Those are provincial initiatives that cost municipalities money. Municipalities should not be paying for provincial policy,� stressed Emon, who started as a municipal councillor in the former Township of Bagot and Blythfield in 1988. He became head of council (then reeve) of Greater Madawaska in 2006. The 52-year-old has been a lifelong resident of Greater Madawaska, except for the five years he spent studying for his bachelor’s degree in social work at the University of Windsor. In addition to his responsibilities as mayor, Emon works part-time as a crisis worker with the Pembroke Regional Hospital’s Community Mental Health division.
“I’m very, very pleased that he has announced that he’s going to run,� said Renfrew reeve and county councillor Audrey Green. “He has my full support. He’ll make an excellent warden. He has a lot of experience and he adds a human touch to the issues.� Warden Sweet said he’ll be another supporter of Emon’s bid to be the county’s next warden. “I think it’s nice to see it move around a little bit,� said Sweet. “I’m pleased for him, and I hope he’s successful.� In not pursuing a sixth term, Sweet said, “It’s a big job. I think it’s fair to say I’ve started things I’ve wanted to do in the community. And it’s important to hand it over for some better or fresh ideas, or a different direction,� said Sweet, who expects to continue his involvement with the CP Rail initiative, so the county develops something positive out of the abandoned railway corridor. Sweet, 69, says having a new warden will allow him to spend more time with his wife and four grandchildren, and to focus, as mayor, on special projects in his own community. Those include the new school and Petawawa’s upcoming 150th-anniversary celebrations. Sweet has been warden in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2011 and 2012. Between 2006 and 2011, the warden was Janice Visneskie of Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards for 2007 and 2008 and Donald Rathwell of Whitewater Region for 2009 and 2010.

OPINION EDITORIAL
Today’s youth, tomorrow’s leaders - help us honours Ontario’s best Extraordinary young leaders – they’re all around us - in schools, at church and on sports teams. Sometimes it’s easy to pick someone special from a crowd, while other times it may not be quite as obvious. Truth is, there are young people everywhere who are working hard at bettering their communities. Many may not even realize they’re making a difference. So it’s time to recognize their dedication and nominate them for the 2012 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award. The Arnprior Chronicle Guide EMC strongly supports the Ontario Junior Citizen of the
Year Awards here in Arnprior, McNab-Braeside and Pakenham. It allows us to provide recognition for outstanding young people who continue to be fine examples of leaders in our community. The awards program is co-coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA), of which this newspaper is a member, and sponsored by TD Bank Group and Direct Energy. Any Ontario resident ages 6 to 17 (must be at least six years but no older than 17 years by Nov. 30, 2012) is eligible to be chosen as an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year.
Please help us by nominating an individual in one of four areas: • A person involved in worthwhile community service. • A special young person contributing to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation. • An individual who has performed an act of heroism in the past year. • Good kids who show a commitment to make life better for others and do more than is normally expected of someone their age. Up to 12 nominees will be chosen as the final recipients of the provincial award and will
be invited to a special ceremony held in the Spring of 2013. Nominate a deserving young person today, and we will personally present them with a certificate of recognition and showcase their contributions in this newspaper. Help us pay tribute to our leaders of today and tomorrow. Nomination deadline for the 2012 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards is November 30. Nomination forms are available at www. ocna.org/iuniorcitizen or by calling the OCNA at 905-639-8720, ext. 239.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Kudos for the gate: a big thank you from residents of the Turtle Pond To the Editor: It has been a bad year for the environmental gem known to some residents of Arnprior as Turtle Pond. This special conservation zone across the Madawaska River to the east saw the demise of our beaver habitat and with that loss, species of flora and fauna that depended on that habitat also was lost. What followed from that was one bad situation after another. With drought conditions that made fire a potential hazard, campers were found at the end of the access road from DeCosta Street down near the old CN trestle. The tent campers were followed by some folks who were thought to be ‘homeless’ people who found shelter, etc. nearby. This was followed by the discovery of marijuana grow-op enterprise. Then the area became a dumping ground for spare auto parts and garbage. If this was not bad enough, evidence was found suggesting group sexual parties, and this was followed by the discovery of Canada Geese carcasses dumped in plastic bags. The theory and evidence suggested the geese might have been poisoned. The aftermath of that, if indeed the theory is correct, is that scavenging animals ate poisoned meat and they became themselves carrion, thus the cycle continued. Other disturbing evidence suggests ‘paint ball’ activity and poaching with the discovery of dead black ducks and ‘paint ball’ spent cartridges. A small group of local residents did their best to clean up the debris.
What reasonably could be done was done and with some quiet lobbying someone reacted to the situation and placed gates at the DeCosta Street entrance to the area. While it is not known who actually put the gates in place, it may have been Ontario Energy given that two of the gates have no trespassing signs on them. Regardless of who gated the road, a lot of our local residents are pleased they are there. We want pedestrians to walk the area trails and enjoy the abundant flora and fauna that exists in this wonderful part of Arnprior. We do not want vehicles and their cargo, whatever it might be, going in there to pollute the environment, etc. This special place is home to wild turkeys, a plethora of birds including nesting ravens, black ducks and mallards, several deer including this year’s issue of three fawns and just as important, the confirmation that Blanding Turtles along with Eastern Painted Turtles inhabit Turtle Pond itself. Ravens are a protected species, as are Blanding Turtles, and to think we have a sizeable population of them in our midst is a wonderful natural asset. So to whoever answered the call and gated the area, I want to thank them on behalf of the residents of the pond who want nothing more than to exist as they have every right to do. We can and should protect this zone and any other similar areas in our town. Thomas Charbonneau Arnprior

A recent poll showed the NDP running neckand-neck with the PCs in Ontario, with the Liberals slumping to third. How does that make you feel?

Hurray. It’s about time voters gave the NDP a chance. The two old-line parties have outworn their welcome.
C)
It’s just a mid-term glitch. Ontario’s too Conservative to vote in an NDP government. They won’t be lulled into a repeat of 1990.

De-light the night, reduce light pollution
0927.R0011644890
To the Editor: No sight is more provocative of awe than is the night sky: Llewelyn Powys. I remember as a child in rural Ontario looking up at the night sky and seeing thousands of stars peeking out of a coal black sky. Whenever it was clear, I could look up to see the faint splash of the Milky Way weaving across the sky, and know that I was seeing a majestic perspective from our solar system embedded in an outer spiral arm of a vast galactic disk of a hundred billion stars. It’s an unfortunate fact that many children growing up in modern cities and towns are no longer able to experience the wonder of the natural sky, except perhaps during the odd power black-out. Light pollution seems to be an unavoidable fact of urban sprawl and modern development, robbing our children of their right to view this beautiful display. Through the ages this spectacle has been the inspiration of science, art, and poetry, but this universal treasure is disappearing. Take heart, however, in knowing that there are things that you can do to help ‘De-Light the night’ and bring back this natural vista for future generations. Outdoor lighting serves several important purposes. It is used to illuminate roadways, parking lots, yards, sidewalks, public meeting areas, work sites, home and building exteriors. Good lighting increases the visibility of hazards, improves the safety of citizens and provides a sense of security in the community. Poorly designed and aggressive lighting results in dangerous glare that obscures hazards, blinds drivers, contributes to sky glow, and wastes energy. Excessive night-time lighting is known to impact nocturnal wildlife and interrupt the human circadian rhythm with direct effects on human hormones and childhood development. The American Medical Association has recently stated that this constant barrage of artificial light on the circadian system may increase the risk of cancer. Responsible ‘good neighbour’ lighting practices can achieve these benefits while avoiding the pitfalls. One of the key concepts of responsible lighting is to only use full cut-off light fixtures. ‘Full cut-off’ means that the light source is not visible from the side or above and, thus, shines all of its light onto the ground. The most recognized culprit in this area is the old standard ‘cobra-head’ municipal lighting fixture - a common sight in
many areas with the round glass lens of the luminaire extending below the edge of the metal fixture. This design results in light shining up into the sky and is responsible for the orange glow one sees on the clouds over large towns and cities. Taxpayers, unfortunately, are on the hook to pay for the electricity to light these clouds. Responsible municipalities are now replacing these bulbous glare-bombs with more efficient luminaires having a flat pane of glass on the bottom. Full cut-off lighting fixtures project light only where it is needed (the ground), and not up into the sky or directly into the eyes of drivers and pedestrians. The next time you are out for a drive, take a look around and see if you can find examples of energy-efficient full cut-off luminaires. Compare the glare factor to the more common cobra-head fixtures and experience the effects of good lighting design for yourself. Many decorative residential light fixtures are very poorly designed with a dangerous glaring bulb visible in the middle of a clear glass enclosure. These fixtures spray light into the eyes of passing motorists and can obscure pedestrians from view if the driver’s windshield is not perfectly clean. Although hard to find, dark-sky-friendly decorative lighting fixtures are available. The International Dark-sky Association (IDA) has a certification program for lighting fixtures. Look for the IDA logo on the retail packaging of well-designed light fixtures, or go to their website for a list of manufacturers with certified products. If you are stuck with old-fashioned polluting fixtures and can’t afford to replace them, there are still some economical solutions you can apply to reduce light pollution and protect the night sky. Sometimes it is possible to add a custom light shade, or move the bulb up under the top of existing fixtures to shine downwards. ‘Dark sky sleeves’ can be purchased online that will fit over the compact fluorescent bulb inside your existing outdoor ‘coach lamp’ to make it dark-sky friendly. Easiest and cheapest is to just turn them off entirely at a reasonable hour and save the electricity. If necessary, one can purchase a low cost motion sensor or timer to make sure they are not on all night. For independent learning on light pollution abatement issues, please go to rasc.ca/lpa/resources. For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream: Vincent Van Gogh. Al Scott, president Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Ottawa Chapter

One moose or two? Animal roaming McNab-Braeside could have company John Carter John.carter@metroland.com
EMC news – The moose that has been roaming around McNab-Braeside in the past couple of weeks has ignited a debate in the community. Is it one moose or two?
Some people think the moose photographed at the White Lake dam park in the village last week is the same one that has been hanging around Campbell Drive. A moose was also seen in the Russett and Mill Ridge drive areas.
Others are convinced there are two young male moose, one on each side of Highway 17. The moose, if there are two, are similar in size and age. “Maybe the MTO should install a moose crossing sign on Campbell Drive,” quipped Donna Symington, who took photos of the moose (or one of them) in the field of her neighbour, Robbie McMillan.

Bull moose are in rutting season EMC lifestyle – Each season has its characteristic “feel” and natural history highlights. Spring is alive with energy and is painted with an explosion of ephemeral wildflowers. Summer has its lazy warmth filled with legions of graceful dragonflies. Winter brings profound solitude and flocks of hardy finches. And autumn arrives with a palate of colour and flocks of southbound birds. But not all creatures flee for southern retreats when cool winds blow from the north. Chipmunks prepare for winter by filling hidden stores with life-sustaining food. Black Bears devour hordes of nuts, which they internally convert into hefty layers of fat. Moose put on weight as well as a thicker coat of hair. But they experience more than a change in girth. Their behaviour changes, their thoughts turning from finding food to finding a mate. Autumn is the season of the Moose’s mating season, the rut. Currently Moose are in the mood for love. The courtship rituals are fascinating. From a calling area called an arena, a cow belts out loud mournful bawls, often at night when sound carries best. Bulls are drawn to those love calls like steel nails to
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way a magnet. As a bull saunters in, he thrashes small trees and shrubs with his antlers. The loud noise may serve to intimidate potential competitors as well as impress the cow. The bull also utters short guttural “gawunks.” When they urinate, female Moose release special attraction chemicals known as pheromones. Bulls also produce pheromones and these are released into shallow pits that they dig with their front hooves. The bulls roll in their “rut” or “wallow pits,” turning themselves into walking pheromone dispensers. When a bull nears a cow, he curls back his upper lip, exposing his inner palate to the female’s pheromones in a posture called flehmen. He also repeatedly flicks out his tongue to capture more of her love potion, the analysis of which allows him to better
determine her sexual state. As a bull saunters toward a cow, he slowly sways his head from side to side, revealing the size and shape of his antlers. Antlers are composed of dead bone, and their size and shape reflect the bearer’s age and health. Healthy bulls in their prime (between 6 and 10 years of age) wear the grandest sets. Incidentally, antlers contain the fastest growing bone tissue of any animal. If two bulls meet, a ritualized display of antlers takes place, with the smaller bull usually turning and walking away, having learned that larger antlers means a stronger bull. That lesson was acquired previously through shoving contests known as sparring. If neither bull submits, a more rigorous bout of sparring results, one in which injury is sometimes sustained. A bull stays with a cow for several days, waiting for her one day of mating to arrive. After this passes, repeated rejections by the cow inspire the bull to go seeking other conquests. And they do, with particularly well-equipped bulls “racking” up several more love conquests during the rut. Bully for them! The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.
Tourism group promotes geology’s ‘hidden treasures’ EMC business - Ontario’s Highlands is quickly becoming a renowned travel destination for geology enthusiasts. There is a wealth of diverse geological assets throughout the entire region, which most notably is home to both the mineral and Ordovician fossil capitals of Canada. With consumers increasingly demanding unique and adventurous travel experiences, there is significant potential of developing these geological assets as tourist attractors, which lead to one of the first product development initiatives of the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO). Over the past year, the OHTO, in collabora-

EMC news - Arnprior Regional Health president and CEO Eric Hanna explained the reasons and advantages for the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new name during a talk Sept. 20 at the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce breakfast. Hanna outlined strategies his newly-named organization has adopted to improve and foster a culture of quality. The initiatives come following the launch of Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) in June. The new health consortium includes Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital, the Grove Nursing Home, the Primary Health Care Centre and Assisted Living, as well as linkages with partners across the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This branding should create and solidify the sense that you have multiple lines of business that are equally important,â&#x20AC;? Hanna told chamber members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now it is not just the satisfaction of our patients at the hospital, but it is equally important to say what is the client satisfaction of those in assisted living for example.â&#x20AC;? This approach has resulted in changes adopted throughout the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For instance, when I am speaking with the food service manager at the hospital about menu revisions, I am asking how will these changes be introduced within the nursing home, through the Meals on Wheels program that we provide for the Seniors at Home Program,â&#x20AC;? he explained. Hanna believes this rethinking throughout the whole sector will help to reposition the organization as it responds to adjustments made to transform the health care system. Hanna described six goals, half of which relate to patient safety; specifically dealing with falls at the hospital and nursing home and the spread of infectious disease due to poor hand hygiene. Drawing on the model developed by UCLA and described in Joseph Michelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, Prescription for Excellence, Hanna described how integrating the definition of quality into the values of the organization transformed its approach to goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ahaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; moment for me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were going around talking about our values - we have an acronym, HART; Honesty,
ERIC HANNA Accountability, Respect and Teamwork. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now when I am going around to talk to staff about our goals with regard to safety or quality, I am linking our values. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can our accountability support our goal of qual-

ity? We expect 95 per cent of people to wash their hands. We are all accountable for making sure we achieve that goal,â&#x20AC;? he stressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can go up to someone and say, you have not washed your hands.â&#x20AC;?
Performances are posted on communication boards. They are colour coded; green hitting the target, yellow indicating work to be done and red signalling trouble in that area. Hitting targets and creating breakthrough targets requires building a strong decent team, Hanna pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrating success is the final step. Last year we had our annual appreciation for staff and 170 people attended compared to 80 two years ago.â&#x20AC;? Practical ways of creating the culture Hanna described are being implemented through a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rounding of staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Management will ask four questions, including, is there someone I should recognize. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I might hear that Michael came up with a great suggestion for the no-fall program and I will acknowledge that with a thank-you note sent to his home. It closes the loop in the same way that a suggestion put forward that is not possible to implement because of policy or legislation is acknowledged and explained,â&#x20AC;? said Hanna. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having the same values across all sectors builds expertise and quality across the organization,â&#x20AC;? he concluded.

Farmland values on the rise, waterfront property boost below average
Property owners should ask themselves if they could have sold their property for its assessed value on Jan. 1, 2012 MPAC CHIEF ASSESSOR LARRY HUMMEL
municipality, there might be no increase in the property taxes paid by a property taxpayer. MPAC will mail Property Assessment Notices to Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly five million property owners between now and
November. Renfrew County residents will likely receive their notices near the end of the mailings. The assessed amount will reflect the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value as of Jan. 1, 2012. As of that date, property in Ontario was assessed at $2 trillion, with residential making up $1.3 trillion of that. Local assessment changes will be announced prior to the mailing of notices in each municipality over the next two months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our role is to accurately assess every property in Ontario,â&#x20AC;? said Hummel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Property owners should ask themselves if they could have sold their property for its assessed value on Jan. 1, 2012. If the answer is yes, then their assessment is accurate. If not, we are committed to working with them to get it right.â&#x20AC;? Property owners can check the accuracy of their assessment at www.aboutmyproperty.ca. This website allows owners to easily compare the value of their property to others in their neighbourhood and community. Registration information will be included with every notice mailed this fall. If property owners believe their assessment is not correct, they have the option of filing a Request for Reconsideration and MPAC will review their assessment free of charge. Hours will be extended at each of MPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 33 local offices across the province during the notice mailing period this fall. Property owners can also call MPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Customer Contact Centre toll-free at 1866-296-MPAC (6722). The Renfrew County MPAC office is located at 141 Lake St. in Pembroke. The Ottawa office is at 1420 Blair Place, Suite 300.
Community Policing changes to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Arnprior Community Safety Partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; EMC news - Arnprior Community Policing has a new name. The previous organization no longer exists, Coun. Dan Lynch told Arnprior council Monday.
A new volunteer group named â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Arnprior Community Safety Partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is now in place, he explained. Lynch said the new group, which took over last Friday, concentrates on all emer-
gency services (police, fire and medical). There is a contest open to all Arnprior area residents to design a new logo for the group. The winning logo will receive a monetary prize for its creator.

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ontario homeowners will see the assessed value of their property increase by an average of 4.5 per cent in 2013. In a news release Tuesday, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation reported that residential property values have increased by an average of about 18 per cent across Ontario since 2008 when the last assessment update was delivered. Because of the four-year phase-in program, property owners will see an average assessment increase of 4.5 per cent each year for the next four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our values reflect local real estate markets and confirm that most homeowners in the province have seen the value of their homes increase over the last four years,â&#x20AC;? said Larry Hummel, MPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief assessor. MPAC reports that as expected the largest assessment increases, from 20 to 30 per cent, are in Ottawa and the Greater Toronto area. Perhaps surprisingly, assessments are also up above the average throughout northern Ontario, indicating improved economies in that area. The lowest increases are in the hard-hit manufacturing areas of southwestern Ontario and particularly the Niagara region, where they are 10 per cent or less. The assessment figures indicate waterfront owners could be in for some relief. In a marked contrast from recent assessments, the value of waterfront properties
have only gone up about 12 per cent in the last four years, below the residential average However, the increase in farmland values has gone up significantly more than the average residential property, rising about 34 per cent in many areas in the last four years. MPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MarketSnapshot - Assessment Update Edition provides a more detailed analysis of the changes in values that have taken place across the province. The report is available on MPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.mpac.ca. MPAC points out a rise in assessment does not necessarily mean an increase in property taxes. If the assessed value of a home has increased by the same percentage or less than the average in the

Bus pull to boost United Way EMC events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; New Flyer Industries will hold its second annual City Bus Pull fundraiser for the United Way Wednesday, Oct. 17. Starting at noon, local teams of 12 people from Emergency Services, schools and businesses will attempt to pull a 40-foot city bus over a 60-foot
course in the fastest time. All proceeds from the event will go to the Renfrew County United Way Campaign. Arnprior council agreed Monday to approve a temporary closure of Hartney Street in the Industrial Park to allow the fundraiser to take place on the street. New Flyer Industries ex-
plained that holding the bus pull in its back area, as it did last year, made it difficult for participants, because of the gravel and uneven ground. Anyone interested in participating in the unique fundraiser should call Shannon Laughlan or Colin Hooper at New Flyer Industries.

NEWS
Paving starts on White Lake Road, Usborne Street PEMC news – The bids came in low enough for the County of Renfrew to pave both White Lake Road and Usborne Street in McNab-Braeside. The County didn’t waste any time, having Karson Konstruction of Carp on the job late last week. The company was the low bidder at $366,000, plus GST, for both projects. A hot mix asphalt overlay is being applied to a 3.35-km section of White Lake Road heading south from Vanjamar Drive. The 4.3-km section of Usborne from Braecrest Avenue at the top of the hill in Braeside to McLean Street was expected to be complete by the end of the week. The County of Renfrew has also approved a tender by Fulton Construction of Renfrew to do the next phase of Flats Rapids Road. The Flats Rapids Road project was planned for 2012, being the third phase of the project. However, the White Lake Road and Usborne Street pavings are a bonus for McNab-Braeside residents. They were supposed to be paved next year, but were moved up a year when surplus funds left over from other road projects became available.
A crew from Karson Konstruction of Carp paves a section of Usborne Street west of Braeside Monday. The paving of 4.3 kilometres from Braecrest Avenue to McLean Street was expected to be finished by week’s end. 0927 R0011646443

For example, John Smith, a former employee at the National Archives in Ottawa, has taken it upon himself to organize and create a living history of the township in its own archives. Similarly, Mackie McLaren has been the driving force behind two very successful Scottish festivals in the past three years, while Darcy Wall has put countless hours into ensuring the community ice rinks are ready for use all winter. “From special events to everyday needs, our volunteers rise to the occasion,” said Campbell.

EMC news – The selfless efforts of volunteers are the heart and soul of McNabBraeside, says Township Mayor Mary Campbell. She was speaking to a gathering Saturday at Waba Cottage to honour more than 200 volunteers who contribute to a wide variety of services and programs in the township. In congratulating the hard work and dedication of the volunteer contingent, Campbell referred to a saying she learned while living in Australia. A rugby coach was known to rally his team by saying, “if it’s gonna be, it’s up to me ...” She said that same spirit has motivated local residents from all walks of life to donate countless hours to bring sports, culture, recreation and an appreciation of township history to the community. “That is what our volunteers are all about,” she told the group. “The township would not be able to function without our volunteers. I am truly in awe of the people of McNab-Braeside and what they do.” “We are so lucky to have all the talented people we have in the township,” she said. “We are grateful for all the sacrifices our volunteers make on behalf of our community. It’s their efforts that make the township work. “Politicians come and go,” she added. “And staff does what they can, but it’s the vol-

EMC news – The Renfrew County National Farmers Union is urging the agricultural community to participate in discussions leading to revisions to the Renfrew County Official Plan. To allow for farmers’ input, a public meeting has been arranged for Monday, Oct. 1 in Admaston-Bromley. The proper designation of agriculture lands within the county boundaries are very important considering agriculture is the biggest primary industry in Renfrew County producing anywhere between $90 million and $100 million dollars annually, says Renfrew County NFU president Dave Mackay,. “At one of our regular meetings, it was brought to our attention that there are certain unclear issues surrounding
the designation of agriculture lands and many residents are not at all familiar with the present official plan,” he said. “What the Renfrew County NFU hopes to achieve is for property owners to better understand what is in the current County Official Plan and why there appears to be different regulations from one area of the county to another.” The current official plan was put in place in 2003 and is reviewed every five years to ensure it is aligned with the current provincial policy statement and still reflects county needs and trends. Renfrew County manager of planning services Charles Cheesman has offered to attend the Oct. 1 public meeting to bring residents up to speed as to what the requirements for agricultural lands are under
the existing official plan. If it is clear at the meeting there are issues that should be addressed, the Renfrew County NFU may put forward recommendations in accordance with their policies already in place, said Mackay. “This will be just a round table information and discussion meeting with Mr. Cheesman around issues pertaining to agricultural lands in Renfrew County,” he explained. “It will give us a chance over the winter to come up with possible recommendations to the Renfrew County Official Plan.” The meeting will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the Barr Line Community Centre. “We encourage rural residents to come out to learn more about the rules and regulations pertaining to their property,” said Mackay.
Drought Galetta home on continues: straw bale tour county EMC news – Following a meeting of the County of Renfrew/Ministry of Natural Resources Water Response Team last Friday, it was stressed that the County of Renfrew is still in a Level 2 Drought situation. After criticism from AdmastonBromley councillors that concern for low water conditions had been shifted to the backburner, the team re-issued its appeal for all residents of the County of Renfrew to voluntarily reduce their water usage by about 20 per cent. Commercial users were also asked to curb their usage. Some residents have reported that their wells have either dried up completely, or are providing minimal output. The Water Response Team encourages residents with dry wells to contact well drillers for advice in terms of restoring water. The Water Response Team has also developed a short questionnaire for residents and businesses that document the economic effects of the drought in the region. The forms are available at all local municipal offices, and residents are encouraged to take a moment to fill them out.
EMC news – The Ontario Straw Bale Building Coalition is hosting a province-wide tour of straw bale buildings this Sunday, Sept. 30, with one of the homes in Galetta. Straw bale building has grown from obscurity to prominence in the past decade. More than 200 homeowners across the province have chosen to build with straw bales. The tour is an opportunity to step inside some straw bale buildings, see what they are like, and get feedback from the owners about all aspects of their buildings. The Galetta home on the tour is owned by Ainslie and Ian Thomson and is located at 3261 Galetta Sideroad. The Ontario Straw Bale Building Coalition was formed in the late 1990s to meet the needs of the public vis-à-vis research and information about building environmentally sound homes of straw. Homeowners, designers, builders and enthusiasts make up this grassroots organization, which has become an important stepping stone in the world of natural building in Canada and beyond. On the Straw Bale Building Tour, there will be other natural wall systems featured, including earth block, cordwood, and clay/straw. Residential homes make up the majority of the buildings on the tour, but there is also a cidery, a winery, and a children’s teaching kitchen taking part. The tour will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost is $10 per person (free for coalition members), which gains you admission to as many houses as you wish (there is also two homes near Middleville on the tour). For more information regarding the tour, visit the website at www.psbbc/catour or contact Tina Therrien at strawbus@auracom.com or call 1-877-872-9225.

Officer kicked, driver charged
EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Carp woman faces several charges after being stopped on Highway 17 in McNab-Braeside in the wee hours of Sept. 13. Renfrew OPP report that at about 2:55 a.m., Const. John Sucee stopped a vehicle for a traffic offence. The woman driver had been drinking and failed a roadside alcohol screening test. She was arrested and transported to the Arnprior OPP detachment for breath tests. While in the po-
EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Keep a close eye on your gates. The Lanark County OPP is investigating three separate incidents where gates were stolen over the past couple of weeks. On Aug. 31 at 10:20 a.m., police received a report of gates being taken overnight from the township property leading to the Cemetery trail system. The gates, valued at about $780, are used to block motor vehicle access to the trail. On Sept. 4 at 12:10 p.m., police received a report of farm gates being taken from the rear of a property located on the 9th Line. The suspects apparently removed the posts supporting the gates with a vehicle. On Sept. 19 at 1:35 p.m., police received a report of eight gates being taken from Beckwith Park as well as a farm wagon stored on the property. The value is over $5,000. If anyone has any information, call OPP at 1-888-3101122 or Crime Stoppers a 1800-222-TIPS (8477).
Seatbelt campaign underway
EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; OPP detachments in the area kicked off the annual provincial fall seatbelt campaign Monday. Officers around the province are strictly enforcing the seatbelt law from Sept. 24 to Oct. 6. The fine for not wearing a seatbelt is $240. The driver of a motor vehicle is responsible for ensuring all passengers under 16 years of age are wearing seat belts or properly secured in car seats. Recent statistics show that 96 per cent of all Ontarians buckle up on a regular basis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but about half a million still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The most recent Ontario statistics show that people in collisions were 32 times more likely to be killed if they were not wearing a seatbelt. lice cruiser she caused damage to the passenger seating area. Once at the detachment, she caused damage to the cell area and kicked an officer, police allege. Following the breath tests, the 42-year-old woman was charged with impaired driving, driving over 80 mgs, two counts of mischief under $5,000 and assaulting a police officer. She is expected to appear in court in Renfrew on Nov. 28.

McEwan Homes celebrates 25 rewarding years
EMC business – McEwan Home of Arnprior celebrated 25 years in the home-building business Sept. 19 with a wine and cheese gathering at the Arnprior Golf Course. Before a large crowd, owner Scott McEwan gave a sometimes emotional speech, reminiscing about his early projects, involvement in the community and all the people who helped him along the way. Following are excerpts from his speech. “I have … been very fortunate to have met a lot of wonderful people over the years. I love this community, and as far as I’m concerned Arnprior and McNab-Braeside are one. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the representatives from each of these municipalities for taking the time to be here today. “I’m proud of how involved McEwan Homes has been in our community. We have been lucky enough to be able to donate over $60,000 to the Arnprior Hospital over the past five years. We have always been strong supporters of our youth, soccer, swim club, baseball, junior golf, ringette, girls hockey and minor hockey, to name a few that have seen our continued support. “We also owned and operated the Arnprior Junior B team for eight years and during that time raised over $800,000 for running that team and for all minor sport teams in Arnprior. In that eight-year period, we were only the second Valley

Division champions in the history of the team, a history that spans more than 60 years. “The first team to ever win it did so in the 1979-80 season and had what most people described as this crazy goalie that turned into a local developer. “When I started 25 years ago, in a town that had a few guys building a few houses a year. We are on our way to building nearly 800 homes in this area. I’ve never kept exact track. “I have worked with some fantastic people over that time. My first subdivision was Maple and Cranston Street, working with Barry Lee. We then moved into Mcnab-Braeside and developed Madison Heights.
“We then had the opportunity to work with the late Tom Sullivan and develop Huyck Drive. We then went to Short Road and worked with the Taggart Group. I then got the opportunity to work with the Sullivan group once again and develop and build our Caruso Street site. “And finally we have been working on our Campbellbrook Village site for the last number of years, developing Blair and Elizabeth Campbell’s property. “By the way this was the largest development in Amprior’s history until recently when that distinction was temporarily taken over by Campanale Homes. I say temporarily because I am working on the extension of
Stonehaven and the rezoning of Block 4 into town homes. Once this is done, we will take back that distinction. “As you can see, I am not competitive at all. “Many people ask me about our competition, the big builder coming to town. I have invited all of my competitors here today, and, in my opinion, we are all working together to make Arnprior an even better place to live. “With competition we share the advertising costs that it takes to bring people to our community. It makes us all to strive to produce the best product, to have the best designs, to have the best reputation and to offer the most we can at a competitive price point.
Mayor of Arnprior David Reid, left, presents Scott McEwan with a certificate on behalf of the municipality. “Because of competition, I am now producing the best product I ever have, and if the papers are writing any of this down, make sure you put I am building the best product out there. “You cannot run a successful business without good staff and good trades. Nancy has been with me nearly 23 years, Dave has been with over 20 years, Alyssa over 10 years and I’m afraid old Rick will never leave. That’s just to name a few of the employees I have had the privilege to work with and now I apparently work for. “Good trades do not work for me but work with me.
Sullivan’s legacy of community dedication continues with $100,000 MRI donation EMC news - Coinciding with its fast approaching 100th anniversary, M. Sullivan and Son Ltd. recently honoured the legacy of its late Chairman and community icon Tommy Sullivan by donating $100,000 to the Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation’s (PRHF) Image Matters, MRI campaign. “Tommy was a great philanthropist devoted to supporting worthy causes, especially those associated with health care,” said the company’s president and CEO Robert MacLaren. “One of Tommy’s last gifts was to contribute to the PRHF MRI Campaign in support of an MRI for Valley residents. It gives us great pleasure to carry on the legacy, tradition and vision of Tommy as well as M. Sullivan and Son – especially into our centennial year.” The Pembroke hospital’s foundation executive director Nancy Warren was on hand for the cheque presentation. “We are truly fortunate to be supported by regional and local businesses that understand the importance of investing in local health care,” she said. “M. Sullivan and Son Ltd. are exemplary corporate citizens and as valley residents, we are all touched by their generosity.”

Started in 1914 by carpenter Maurice Sullivan with five employees, M. Sullivan and Son Ltd. has distinguished itself through exceptional quality of workmanship, professionalism, and design. Sullivan has been recognized as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies, and received LEED Gold Certificate for construction of the Kingston Police Station, as well as the Jock Tindale Memorial Award recognizing ethics and integrity, and the Gil Samson Award for leadership in accident prevention and safety education. “We’ve been here for 100

years thanks to the dedication of every single employee in maintaining exceedingly high standard,” said company vicepresident Robert Ball. “With any luck, we’ll be here another 100. Wherever Sullivan works, we invest in that community. We’ve been fortunate to be invited into many communities for different projects and this was an opportunity for us to give back.” Through the generosity of Ottawa Valley citizens, businesses, and service clubs, the MRI campaign is already halfway to its goal of $4.5 million to purchase and install MRI technology at the
PRH. The hospital serves over 100,000 people from across the Ottawa Valley. The Ontario Government will finance annual operating costs for the MRI, but the local communities are responsible for the initial purchase costs. With the longest MRI wait times in Ontario, the diagnostic tool can’t come soon enough. To get involved, donate or help organize an event, contact donor relations co-ordinator Greg Junop at 613-732-2811, ext. 7408, or email foundation@pemreghos.org.
Some trades that I’d like to acknowledge for being with me the entire 25 years are: Lornes electric, Red Hot Insulators, Fairhall Moffat, Wilson Stairs, Valley Roof Truss and Flooring Supply, Jeld Wen Windows and Arnprior Builders Supplies rounding up a very solid group. I’m proud of all of them or they would not be on our site. “Two years ago I was honored to be awarded the Town Crest. It was an honor, but it was not just for me personally, it was for what McEwan Homes, our employees and our trades have done for this community, and for that I’m proud and grateful.”
Castlegarth helps doctor recruitment campaign Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com
The Castlegarth Restaurant and Food Shop in White Lake is holding a fundraiser Oct. 11 to help the Renfrew area recruit doctors. A Taste of German Opera will be part of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village fundraising committee’s Week of Giving campaign. The evening’s performing musicians will include soprano Kathleen Radke. She is married to Renfrew doctor Steven Radke, who was recruited by the health services village. The other musicians are tenor Rory McGlynn and pianist Nick Rodgerson. A Taste of German Opera gets underway at 6:30 p.m. at the White Lake restaurant. For reservations, contact Castlegarth Restaurant at 613-623-3472 or e-mail info@castlegarth. ca. Tickets cost $120. The four municipalities participating in the Renfrew-area physician recruitment campaign are Admaston-Bromley, Greater Madawaska, Horton and Renfrew. They are raising money to go toward an enticement of a $25,000 payment to each recruited physician for six consecutive years, to help pay for medical school and other training-related expenses. The goal is to bring 14 doctors to the area, because of the dire need for family physicians and increasing number of local doctors who have retired or who plan to retire soon. The incentive program will cost $2.1 million, of which the health services village is committed to raising about $700,000.

HAT TRICK FOR STEEGE
The play of Steege, one of four 16year-olds on the team, has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;phenomenal,â&#x20AC;? said Patrick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (16-yearolds) have all been playing well.â&#x20AC;? Also scoring for Arnprior, which held 2-0, 4-1 and 5-2 leads against Almonte, were Allard and Riley Shore. The game featured several scrums in the third period with Packer Matthew Burns and Almonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kyle Phillips tossed out for fighting. Against Perth, Steege had the hat-trick and Allard and Lehoux added one goal each. John McLean and Brayden Harvey had the other tallies for the Packers, who had period leads of 2-1 and 5-1. All goals
came at even strength as both teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; power-plays were stymied. Patrick also had high praise for goalie Kyle Lamothe, who stopped 39 of 41 Perth shots Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He stood on his head,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He made the saves when he had to make them.â&#x20AC;? He suggested that Lamothe could well be the most talented goalie ever to play for the Packers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how good he is.â&#x20AC;? Patrick is also pleased that he is able to roll four lines with confidence. The defence is still learning to trust themselves, and there could be a couple of additions coming, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re holding their own,â&#x20AC;? he said. Young players such as Corey Chaplin and Michael McGrath have been impressive, he added. Some familiar faces are likely to be in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup in this Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at the Nick Smith Centre. Former division MVP Tyler Collins has four points in his first three games with Ottawa and Mitch Parker and Luke Gagnon are also regulars. However, Shane Smith is out with an injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are expecting a good game,â&#x20AC;? said Patrick. After going to Ottawa for a rematch Tuesday, Oct. 2, the Packers will host two home games the next weekend with Stittsville and Gatineau coming to town Oct. 5 and 7.

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Arnprior Packers are proving the naysayers wrong, at least early in the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League season. The Packers ran their winning streak to three Sunday, with an impressive 7-2 win in Perth over the Blue Wings, one of the favourites in the Valley Division. Last Friday in their home-opener, the Packers survived some â&#x20AC;&#x153;stupid penaltiesâ&#x20AC;? in the third period to edge the Almonte Thunder 5-4. The victories boosted the new-look Packers to 3-1, good for first place in the Valley Division. The Packers host Ottawa Junior Canadians in their next game this Friday, Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penalties got us into trouble (Friday),â&#x20AC;? said Arnprior general manager Shawn Patrick, who is also the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interim head coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We addressed that in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to play aggressively, but stay disciplined. We did that Sunday.â&#x20AC;? Patrick said he was pleased that a â&#x20AC;&#x153;really good crowdâ&#x20AC;? turned out for Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in which fans got in free for a donation for the Arnprior and District Food Bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The food bank did well. They were very pleased.â&#x20AC;? On the ice, the Packers dominated, so
should have won more easily than they did, Patrick said. Forward Derrin Lehoux led the way with a hat-trick, including the winning goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been on fire,â&#x20AC;? said Patrick, noting his top line of returnee Lehoux, veteran trade pick-up Ethan Allard and rookie centre Jared Steege have really clicked. The trio picked up 18 points on the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 goals on the weekend. That output puts Lehoux in fourth place in EOJHL scoring with six goals and four assists. Allard is ninth at 3-6-9 and Steege is the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top rookie scorer at 5-3-8.

Farmers enjoy a golfing break EMC sports – Several local farmers took a good part of a day off Sept. 14 to enjoy a fun day of golf at the Madawaska Golf Course. Having a major operation in August did not deter Rayburn Evans of Pakenham from organizing his 10th annual Farmers Open golf tournament. The owner of Rayburn Evans Livestock organizes the event each year to give the farmers a break from their busy schedule. This summer’s drought has made it a particularly tough year for farmers, Evans noted. “They really deserved to have some fun.” The tournament attracted 11 foursomes of 44 golfers from Arnprior, West Carleton, Pakenham and Renfrew. Dwight Eastman won a $100 gas card for his hole-in-one. Dwight Crozier brought along a trumpet to signal the opening of play. M&R Feeds president Barry Dean provided his life-size animals to add atmosphere to the event and all foursomes got their photographs taken with the red bull. Evans expressed appreciation for the help provided by Dean and his staff, Madawaska Golf Course owner Rick Munro and his staff, and his other volunteer helpers for making the tournament such a success.

The following are questions which are most often asked: 1. What ages can play the sport? Answer: any age from five years to no upper age limit. We have 85-year-olds still playing. The players are grouped into TIM-Bits (ages 5-12), Bantams (13 to 18) and Adults (19 to no limit). Also there is a senior league that curls during the day and does not check for age. All are welcome who are available during the day. 2. What physical condition do you have to be in? Answer: If you are able to walk and have good balance, you should be able to play. Many seniors who have difficulty bending their knees can use a special stick to deliver the stone. 3. Can I get hurt playing the sport? Answer: As in any sport there is always the risk of sustaining an injury. With the proper equipment and training, the risk should be minimal. There is also new safety equipment available today that helps to protect the head should a fall occur. This season the arnprior club is offering a mentor program, which will give individual training Friday evenings for an eight-week period and would be ideally suited for first-time curlers who want to learn the game. 4. Is it an expensive sport? Answer: relatively speaking it is reasonable when compared to the costs of playing hockey and golf. The season which lasts from mid-October to the end of March runs from $350 to $450 for an adult depending on many nights you want to play and only $80 for a junior or Bantam. 5. Do I need expensive equipment? Answer: No, you can start with a clean pair of sneakers and a $15 slider, which fits over your shoe. As you develop your skills in the game, you can buy special shoes and your own broom, which still would be under $200. If you would like to get more information, come and visit us at registration night on Oct. 10 and 11 from 6 to 8 p.m. You can also visit the website www.arnprior.ovca.com. The club is located on 15 Galvin St. in Arnprior. All are welcomed from the surrounding area. For more details, call Sarah Antonakos at 613-623-9625.

Of that group of athletes and coaches, 18 athletes and coaches attended from Arnprior. Athletes from the ‘Cougar’ basketball team, swimming and bowling represented Special Olympics - Arnprior and made the fans from the town very proud of their accomplishments. The Cougars included Jonathan Scobie, Greg Rorwick, Paul Rorwick, Robert Mainprize, Tia Crabtree, Tamika Crabtree, Lindsay Trafford and Kenneth Jensen. They were led by head coach Renee Stewart and coaches Bryan Terrell and Kyle Dowd. They started the tournament slowly with several losses, but the team never lost hope nor did they give up. With a group of local fans – parents and friends - cheering, at times they couldn’t buy a basket, but with solid passing the team was rewarded with two wins to place fifth in their division. “They were winning and they were a unified team. And we were very excited,” said Stewart. The bowling team included Ken Veley and Greg Russell. Veley showed great form and sportsmanship while participating in his chosen events and Special Olympics are very proud of his accomplishments. Russell participated in five events and was rewarded with four silver medals. “Con-

Right, Andrew MacAuley, Mike Shoveller and Connor Schriver were among the Redmen whooping it up during the annual Arnprior District High School Pigskin Parade through town Sept. 21.

Traditions continue with spirit week at ADHS

EMC lifestyle – Arnprior District High School commenced yet another great year last week with their fabulous Spirit Week rituals. Every high school needs tradition; an event or act that creates an inseparable community between peers and teachers alike. Said tradition need only be an ancient repetitive act, preferably large in scale, but acknowledged as an act passed down for many and many-a year. Such an act must be loud, it must be silly, it must bring smiles to our faces, and it must be genuine. Spirit Week 2012 at ADHS was no different this year, a magnificent success. Spirit Week began with Monday as Lazy Day. The lunchtime con-
juncture consisted of teams competing for the Bed Head Contest prize, Shannon Power came out as winner. Tuesday was Twin Day, where acquaintances, good friends, best friends, and kin wore their best matching ties and bell-bottoms. Janessa Russet and Victoria Eastman won the twin day trivia contest (who knows their twin the best). It’s still surprising how the winners didn’t share the same last name. Seeing two of everything became an epileptic’s nightmare as Retro Day smashed ADHS on Wednesday, with guys and gals releasing the rainbow-savvy corner of their wardrobe for the world to see. Thursday, a fan favourite, was Valley Day. Fortunately crossbows aren’t allowed in school, but the combined weight of steel-toe boots,

jeans, plaid and venison would give Atlas a run for his money. The lunchtime adventure was ‘Catch the Farmer’. It concluded with Chad Brennan, Richard Jorgensen, Boden Zvonerich and Allan Grey as victors. They successfully apprehended Mr. Farmer, our charismatic principal. And then the finale of grandiose proportions: Red and White day. Face paint, morph suits, crimson and ivory apparel combined with loud noises, football, big trucks, and football resulted in ADHS’s ancient tradition’s epic conclusion to Spirit Week. Red and White day’s events started with the Pep Rally, where student council addressed the mass of students pouring into the gym with

statements like, “Yeah!”, and “Try and catch all this candy I’m throwing at you!” The ending of the Pep Rally began the long process of weaving through ADHS’s hallways with hundreds of high schoolers in the futile attempt at getting on one of the big floats first. Thus launching the Pigskin Parade. PIGSKIN PARADE
The parade makes its jolly way down Bell Street, onto Madawaska, onto Elgin, back onto John, then back to the high school. Plenty of opportunity for the public to enjoy the majestic posse of hollerin’, hootin’ youngsters. At the stroke of one o’clock, senior footballers from Fellowes High School and ADHS clashed helmets

in what soon became an ego slaughter-fest. With #33 Jaegar Prot running a 40-yard touchdown in the first set of downs, the looming cloud of inevitable defeat enveloped the yellow-clad Falcons. Naturally, the game ended 49-12 for ADHS, tripling Fellowes’ score. To conclude: huge shout-out to ADHS’s Student Council for all their hard work and perseverance. President Hannah Martin and vicepresident Vicki Brittle, along with grade reps, the rest of SAA administration and teacher volunteers did an exceptional job of scheduling and organizing an entire week of events and activities for a school of nearly a thousand students. The football game put the lid on Spirit Week 2012, and another fantastic start to a year at ADHS.

Ways to lower car insurance rates at any age Drivers should look for more savings regardless of driver profile. Auto insurance is a major expense in a household budget. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandatory to have insurance, overpaying is not necessary. There are simple ways of getting a more affordable auto insurance rate, regardless of age or driving experience. NEW DRIVERS Use of a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;good student discountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is one way to save on insurance for a young driver. Many insurance companies offer a discount for students who carry a minimum required grade average. Another way to save is by taking a driver education course from an approved school; to learn the rules of the
road. Be sure to inquire about these options, as they may not always be advertised. DRIVERS OVER 25 There may have been some improvement in yearly premiums for drivers with some driving experience. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to also ask about further discounts. These may include: installing a security system, driving an eco-friendly car, or installing safety features such as winter tires. If recently married, combine policies with your spouse and take advantage of bulk discounting by having more than one car insured with the company. EXPERIENCED DRIVERS An experienced driver with a good driving record may be eligible for better insurance rates; the key is to find the insurance company that will offer the lowest rate. Shopping around for car insurance is the easiest way to find a better way. Other ways
to save include changing your deductible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps carrying a higher deductible; or, combining home and auto insurance policies with the same insurance company. DRIVERS OVER 55 YEARS Mature drivers over 55 years old may qualify for some of the best rates available. Some insurance companies across Canada specialize in getting the best rates for mature drivers. There are also retirement benefits to keep in mind: no commute distance may mean a lower rate. Make sure the insurance company changes the commuting status to pleasure use. MORE TIPS Remember to review your policy frequently. Tickets come off your driving record in three years from the date that you are convicted and accidents come off in six years. If a ticket or accident has come off your driving record,
check with your insurance company to make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not still paying for that ticket or accident. If you drive an older car, you may want to remove the collision coverage if you feel that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not worth the extra yearly cost to compensate you for your vehicle value. This will reduce your insurance premium. Many car insurance companies may actually offer a lower rate to drivers who pay their premium in full on renewal than to those who choose to pay in installments. Monthly payments often come with fees that are charged on each installment. Paying the whole thing up front is a quick and simple way to pay less. No matter how old you are, it is always a good idea to shop around for a better rate. Quoting sites like ComparaSave.com help drivers find the lowest insurance rate available within their network of over 30 insurance companies.

High school teachers back strike mandate Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com
Members of the Ontario Secondary School Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s District 28, Renfrew have voted in favour of a strike mandate. Ninety-five per cent of votes cast supported a strike mandate. Votes by the localâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four groups - generally categorized as office managers, occasional teachers, early childhood educators and teachers - took place the last couple of weeks. The last of the votes occurred Sept. 17, following the passage of Bill 115 on Sept. 11. Among other things, the recentlypassed bill freezes wages, sharply reduces the number of sick days, and gives the education minister (Laurel Broten) the right to intervene in collective bargaining. That right to intervene didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist before and teachers are now â&#x20AC;&#x153;expressing their disappointment with what has gone on,â&#x20AC;? said OSSTF Local 28 president Jeffrey Barber, who lives in AdmastonBromley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just an attack on all teachers, but on all workers in the province,â&#x20AC;? he told The Chronicle Guide EMC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unprecedented powers that are
unnecessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can sit down and talk and negotiate. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we teach students to figure things out. Some teachers say this is a good case of bullying (by the government),â&#x20AC;? said Barber. He also said â&#x20AC;&#x153;creative solutionsâ&#x20AC;? can still be found that
We can sit down and talk and negotiate. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we teach students to figure things out OSSTF LOCAL 28 PRESIDENT JEFFREY BARBER
are satisfactory to both teachers and the government. Some members of the public say teachers are opposed to wage freezes, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not necessarily so, says Barber. He says the OSSTF agreed with a wage freeze during negotiations with the provincial government last spring. The contract between OSSTF and the Renfrew and District Public School
Board expired Aug. 31. The taking of a strike vote is a normal part of the legal process recognized by the Ontario Labour Relations Act, says a local OSSTF news release. In Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release, OSSTF executive officer Cindy Dubue said the strike vote â&#x20AC;&#x153;is part of the normal bargaining process as recognized under the Ontario Labour Relations Act. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about wanting a strike. It is about using our rights recognized by law to bargain a collective agreement with the employer.â&#x20AC;? Asked how many districts have voted in favour of a strike mandate, she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say. But she said the vast majority are voting more than 80 or 90 per cent in favour. Barber said in the same release: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is clear that our members are not happy with the antics of the Liberal government and they have given their negotiating teams a definitive mandate to find a solution to the problems created by Mr. McGuinty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are continuing to exercise our rights to bargain collectively under the Ontario Labour Relations Act. We have a positive and productive working relationship with our employer and we look forward to working with the Renfrew County District School Board to achieve agreements that work for both sides.â&#x20AC;?

Fall the time to bake with apples For this apple cinnamon braid, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need two or three baking apples. The recipe starts with the dough cycle in your breadmaking machine and ďŹ nishes in the oven. Shaping the dough into a braid is easy. Give the recipe a try now, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to make it again on Thanksgiving. This bread is nice with breakfast, with coffee or for dessert.

On the ďŹ&#x201A;oured surface, roll the dough into a 33-by-20centimetre pan. Trim the edges of the dough, if necessary, to get the shape. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, grease the foil and then place the dough on it. Spoon the ďŹ lling down the middle of the rectangle, so that the centre third of the dough is covered. To shape the braid, ďŹ rst make cuts in the long side of the dough. Each cut should be 2.5 centimetres apart, and extend from the outer edge of the dough in to the edge of the ďŹ lling. Next, starting at one end of the rectangle, fold a strip
Place the ingredients for the dough into your bread machine in the order given. Select the dough cycle. While the machine is working, prepare the apples. Mix all the ingredients for the ďŹ lling in a microwave-safe bowl and let sit for 15 minutes. Microwave the apple mixture on high for four to ďŹ ve minutes, stirring at one-minute intervals. When the apples are soft and syrupy, the ďŹ lling is done. Set it aside to cool. When the dough is ready, remove it from the bread machine. Place it on a lightly ďŹ&#x201A;oured surface, cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes so it will be easier to work with.
of dough diagonally over the ďŹ lling. Now, fold a strip of dough from the other side so it overlaps the ďŹ rst strip in the centre. Continue, alternating sides, so that the ďŹ lling is completely covered. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until double. Use a ruler to measure the height of the braid before and during the rising to tell when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready. Bake at 375 F (190 C) for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. When the bread is done, use the aluminum foil to transfer it to a rack. Slide the foil out from under the braid and let it cool. Slice to serve.

Miller Logging forwarder driver Matt Ludgate and Ott demonstrated harvesting equipment.
From bush to mill: certification and chain of custody Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com
From the bush to the mill – how forest certification works. That was the theme of the 2012 Renfrew County Outdoor Woodlot Conference Saturday at Craig Appleyard’s property on Ferguslea Road. During his morning address, Scott Davis of the Eastern Ontario Model Forest spoke about FCS certification and chain of custody. The FSC international logo can be found on most paper products, from envelopes to cardboard boxes. Davis explained how certification became an issue about 10 years ago when major retailers and consumers wanted to know where their wood products were coming from. The initial goal was to get 10 or 15 private woodlot owners accredited through a thirdparty certifier. What started as a pilot project involving 3,000 acres has grown into a major program comprised of three distinct landowner groups and 110,000 acres. “Renfrew County has the highest density of Crown, community and private land forests that are FCS certified in Canada – a pretty good accomplishment locally,” Davis said. He said there isn’t a lot different, operationally, that happens on the ground, but FCS certification is “more a recognition of the good work you do.” That good work includes having a forest management plan, using certified tree markers and bills of lading, and ensuring all loggers have the necessary insurances and certificates. The owners of certified forests are also committed to protecting the broader natural environment. For example, if a hawk were nesting in a
tree, a buffer area would be created around that tree. “We’re looking after more than just trees. There are other values in the forest,” he said. Davis said the FCS international logo is something people identify. “A number of the sawmills like Murray Bros. and Hokum’s and Heiderman’s and Shaw’s all have what they call a chain of custody. And basically what that does is empower companies to take certified raw product, process it into a finished product and then sell it with a label that says it’s third-party certified.” It’s a distinction many small operations can’t afford, but the Eastern Ontario Model Forest is committed to helping small woodlot owners achieve certification through group application. “That wood, down the road, might be a little more attractive to local buyers,” Davis said.” He said the challenge of certification is that it can be expensive and there is more responsibility on the landowner. But properly-managed forests are important and wise woodlot owners are always looking to the future and the next cutting cycle. “I think, now, forest certification is an important part of driving the market for woodlots and Crown forests in Ontario,” he added. When Davis first researched forestry around the world, he noted Canada was ranked 52nd in forest certification. Today, Canada is ranked number one. “Canada is, by far, the leader,” Davis said. In Ontario alone, there are about 10.5 million hectares of third-party certified forest. The woodlot conference opened with comments by Woodlot Conference Committee chair John Stuart. “This is something that’s here to stay,” Stuart said of FSC certification in his welcoming address. He also noted how the conference moves
Bill Chambers of Tillsonburg was one of the Algonquin College forestry program students at the conference. around the county and encouraged people to make suggestions for future conference locations and topics.
Admaston-Bromley Deputy Mayor Dirk Rook welcomed everyone to the event and praised the organizers.“We congratulate you. It takes a lot of volunteers,” he said. Craig Appleyard followed with a history of his 126-acre property on the Ferguslea Road, a portion of the former Neil Culhane tract. In 1980 Appleyard purchased the property that had been logged the previous 25 to 30 years, and in 1986 he planted red pine. David Stewart of David Stewart Forest Services led a tour of the Appleyard red pine plantation, which included a comparison of thinned versus unthinned forest. Tour participants also saw pine being harvested by Michael Ott and Matt Ludgate of M.W. Miller Logging who donated their time to demonstrate the specialty equipment used in harvesting trees. The day also included a children’s nature walk led by Renfrew County District School Board teacher Lyndsay Mask, displays by various equipment dealers, and Douglas horse logger Pat McIntyre of Douglas demonstrated old-fashioned skidding. Frisco’s of Eganville served lunch. In the afternoon, Renfrew County forestry service manager Jeff Muzzi spoke on log scaling and gave an update on the emerald ash borer issue. County of Renfrew forester Lacey Rose spoke about drought and storm damage. Dean Johnson spoke about chain of custody. Over the lunch hour there was an Algonquin College Loggersports demonstration, displays and networking. There were afternoon tours of Ross Campbell’s sawmill just up the road from the Appleyard property, and Scott Rubie displayed his homemade band saw.
Safety tips to keep your pets safe over Thanksgiving EMC lifestyle – Let’s talk turkey! If you decide to feed your pet a little nibble of turkey, make sure it’s boneless and well-cooked. Don’t offer her raw or undercooked turkey, which may contain salmonella bacteria. Sage can make your Thanksgiving stuffing taste fabulous, but it and many other herbs contain essential oils and resins that can cause gastrointestinal upset and central nervous system depression to pets if eaten in large quantities. Cats are especially sensitive to the effects of certain essential oils.
No bread dough! Don’t spoil your pet’s holiday by giving him raw bread dough. According to ASPCA experts, when raw bread dough is ingested, an animal’s body heat causes the dough to rise in his stomach. As it expands, the pet may experience vomiting, severe abdominal pain and bloating, which could become a life-threatening emergency, requiring surgery. Don’t let them eat cake! If you’re baking up Thanksgiving cakes, be sure your pets keep their noses out of the batter, especially if it includes raw eggs – they could contain salmonella bacteria that may

Pet Talk
IAN STUPP lead to food poisoning. Too much of a good thing! A few small boneless pieces
of cooked turkey, a taste of mashed potato or even a lick of pumpkin pie shouldn’t pose a problem. However, don’t allow your pets to overindulge, since rich, fatty foods such as turkey skin and dark turkey meat are difficult to digest and they could wind up with a case of stomach upset, diarrhea or even worse – an inflammatory condition of the pancreas known as pancreatitis. In fact, it’s best to keep your pets on their regular diets during the holidays. Chocolate can be toxic for pets, or even fatal, due to a substance called theobromine found in chocolate.
Onion and garlic - These ingredients contain sulfides, which are toxic to animals and can cause the destruction of red blood cells, especially in cats, causing Heinz body anemia. Alcohol, especially the hops in beer, can be particularly harmful to dogs, causing intoxication, panting, fever, racing heart, liver damage, even coma, seizures and death. Dispose wrappings such as aluminum foil, plastic wrap and wax paper. While licking up food left on these wrappings pets can ingest some of the wrapper, leading to in-
testinal obstructions. As well, look out for toothpicks, skewers and used silverware. When carrying hot food from the stove to the table, be sure that your pet isn’t taking that moment to weave through your legs. Keep trash containers closed and secure so pets can’t get into leftover such as bones, fat, etc. Have a doggone great Thanksgiving!

Above, it was a touching moment when 12-yearold Riley Murray of Arnprior made a special trip home so he could return to the health and wellness fair with his own pennies for the ‘Penny Time’. Riley made a most generous donation to the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home Program with his pennies in memory of the late Penny Lamendeau, a former driver and volunteer with Seniors at Home and loved member of the Arnprior and District Breast Cancer Support Group. Thanking Riley is Nancy Peck, driver with the agency and friend of Lamendeau. Right, the ladies of Curves entertained both visitors and vendors of the health and wellness fair with a Zumba demonstration.

Fair maidens Myla and her mom Sally Fransky of Arnprior joined friends on the merry-go-round at the 149th annual Carp Fair last weekend. Attendance was only about half last year’s 50,000 probably due to forecasts calling for rain. Although it didn’t rain much after Thursday, numbers continued to lag until Sunday. Cheap Trick, while an excellent concert according to many on hand, still only brought in a third of the expected 1,500. Doc Walker was a smashing success, and with spectacles like two 10-horse hitches and about 18 six-horse hitches in the centre ring at the same time, a great time was had by most of those who did make the trek.
Date/Time: October 10, 2012 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. (Registration begins at 8:30 a.m.) Location: GEM Hall, Groves Park Lodge, 470 Raglan St. N., Renfrew Pre-register by October 2 to 1-866-994-8124 ext. 5914 Seminar and a light lunch provided courtesy of The Renfrew County Geriatric Services Network

Tradition became a family pastime Mary Cook’s Memories BY MARY COOK
and he lit the paper, setting it ablaze. That way he could poke the paper deep into the mounds of leaves, making sure it burned from the inside out. Very clever, was my brother Everett. We sat on the kitchen chairs, circling the burning mound, but well back from the fire, we five children and Mother. Father chose to stay in the house reading the Ottawa Farm Journal. If marshmallows were in existence back then, we certainly didn’t know about them. And it is doubtful we could have afforded them anyway. So the only enjoyment we got was sitting on the chairs and watching the raked leaves go up in smoke. Mother always took her mouth organ out on those nights, and she expected us to sing along to whatever she was playing. Emerson refused. Audrey with her clear, sweet voice was the only one who could carry a tune, and so she and Mother provided what entertainment there was. I would sit on the chair, and listen, and watch the flames rise towards the sky and won-
der why Father couldn’t see the sheer joy of the evening. The old iron pump was right in the middle of the yard, and although Mother said there was absolutely no need for it, Father made sure there were several pails on the pump platform just in case the blaze got out of hand. By the time the fire was raging, we took off our jackets as the heat came at us in waves. It didn’t take long for the piles of leaves to be burnt right to the ground. And I often wondered if it was worth the effort. When it was all over, and we had hauled the kitchen chairs back into the house, Father would let out a big sigh, as if he carried the cares of the world on his shoulders. He would go out to the yard for the first time since supper was over, and he would pump many pails of water, and pour it over the remnants of the burning leaves. He was taking no chances that the barns and the log house that had been there for three generations would go up in smoke!

because of leaf-burning out at Northcote. “Well, I sure hope we aren’t the first!” he retorted every year as long as I can remember. I wasn’t big enough or strong enough to manage a rake. So my job was to circle the mounds and with my feet, try to make each pile round, and push any wayward leaves into place. It took most of the day to round up all the leaves, and when we were finished, we would have about four big piles of leaves in the centre of the yard. Of course, Mother, who made an occasion out of the most simple events, wouldn’t let us light the leaves until after the sun had gone down and the yard was in complete darkness. Supper would be early that night; another excuse for Father to complain. He liked everything on time and that included his meals. So by the time we had eaten, cleaned up the kitchen and hauled out chairs to circle the mounds of leaves, nightfall had settled in. We would start out with heavy jackets on, to ward off the chill of the fall evening. My oldest brother Everett was always in charge of the matches. He had the lighting of the mounds down pat. He rolled sheets of the Renfrew Mercury into tight cones,

EMC lifestyle - This time of year, we all smelled the same at the Northcote School. The heavy scent of burning leaves penetrated everything we wore, and no amount of airing out could eliminate the odour of our smoke-infested clothes. But none of us minded. Burning leaves was something we all looked forward to at our farm and as far as I knew everyone in Northcote did the same thing. So none of us minded the heavy smell of smoke on our clothes that took days to get rid of. Well, that is, we five kids and Mother. Father said making the event into a grand affair was something he had little time for. Too many other more important things to do on the farm instead of making a party out of burning leaves! Our front and side yards were full of big maple trees, and by the time the last of the summer rolled around, the leaves were, in some places, knee deep. We waited until the limbs were completely bare, and then, always on a Saturday, it was time to rake the leaves and pile them into big mounds well away from the house and barns. “You’re asking for trouble,” Father would say. “Just one little spark and the whole place would go up in smoke.” Mother paid him no heed, asking him to come up with even one barn or house that had been burned to the ground

Contractor fined for unfair practices when dealing with seniors motional material unless it is in his own name. He was also ordered to pay restitution totalling more than $240,000 to 14 consumers. A guilty plea was entered into on behalf of Alma Construction, the company operated by Alivisatos, to one count of failing to refund a payment and one count of failing to deliver an agreement. The company was fined $5,000. It had been alleged that Alivisatos and a number of companies he operated had subjected consumers in the Ottawa area to deceptive misrepresentations and contracts that did not contain the required information set out in the regulations under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002. In addition, refunds were not provided when lawfully demanded by consumers. The Ministry of Consumer Services reminds consumers that renovations and repairs should not be left to chance. Fam-

ilies can get the best return for their hardearned dollars by following these tips: • Choose a reputable contractor. Ask for recommendations, check websites like RenoMark or call your local homebuilder’s association. Reputable contractors will be bonded, insure their workers against workplace injuries and charge HST. • Get three quotes. The lowest quote may not be the best. Have three contractors view the job and give a written estimate. Then check references and consumer sources like the Minister of Consumer Services’ Consumer Beware List at www.ontario.ca/consumerbeware. • Check your contract. Make sure it includes key information like the contractor’s name and contact information, a description of the work to be done and start and end dates.

EMC news – The Ministry of Consumer Services has successfully prosecuted a contractor who victimized a number of Ottawa and area consumers, many of whom were seniors. The case resulted in a jail term and probation period and an order for compensation to consumers. On Sept. 18, Michael Alivisatos entered guilty pleas in Provincial Offences Court to 15 counts of unfair practice under the Consumer Protection Act and was sentenced to 140 days in jail. He was also placed on probation for a term of one year on the condition that he refrain from engaging in or soliciting any work that directly or indirectly pertains to improvement of property, including home renovations, roofing, driveways and landscaping. In addition, he cannot distribute or possess, for the purpose distribution, any business cards, flyers, or other pro-

Some line dancers from the Mississippi Hy-Liners celebrated their past season with a pot-luck in mid-September, while reviewing some dances and making plans for their sessions for this fall. The afternoon sessions will start in October in three locations - Almonte, Arnprior and Pakenham. Taking part, from left, are Susan Lockhart, Sandi Skinner, Jean McCarron, Helen Howe, instructor Hyacinth Chatterton, Carol Byce, Patricia Murphy, Edileide Cathcart, Marietta Hildreth and Donna Wickie. at the Almonte Community Centre on Wednesday, Oct. 10 and classes at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham will begin on Thursday, Oct. 4. Hyacinth Chatterton, instructor for the programs for both the Mississippi Mills and the Nick Smith Centre, pointed out that those who are new to the activity are always pleased when they realize that this form of dancing is so well-suited to participants of all ages. In addition to instructing line-dancing to adults of both genders, Chatterton has volunteered her time, over several years, to introduce and oversee the practice of this
dance-form to elementary as well as high-school students in Arnprior, Carleton Place and Renfrew. Chatterton points out that it is an exercise routine that has benefits that everyone appreciates. The activity has been described by some as “calorieburning, high-energy, heartpumping,” while others recommend it for its “aerobic, flexibility enhancing, weightbearing and mind-stimulating” capacities. She says participants readily identify certain aspects of this exercise format that are especially enjoyable: • how easy it is to learn the simple routines at the begin-
ner Level; • what fun it is to keep adding progressive sequences to the basics; • the joy of accomplishment when all the moves start connecting and falling into place; • how pleasing it is to perform the routines to music featuring hit tunes of the past and the present; • the ongoing camaraderie between participants, which plays such a vibrant part in this group activity. For further information about the line-dancing programs, call the Town of Mississippi Mills at 613-2561077, the Nick Smith Centre at 613-623-7301 or Chatterton directly at 613-623-0976.

Folk singer in Burnstown Purple ribbon campaign focuses for Sept. 29 show on child abuse prevention EMC entertainment – Two-time Juno Award nominee Jeremy Fisher will play a concert at the Neat Café in Burnstown this Saturday, Sept. 29. Called by some a modern-day Canadian folk hero, Fisher has just released his fifth studio album, Mint Juleps. He has earned the reputation of a folk singersongwriter who ‘does it his own way’. Two years ago, he went on tour across Canada by bike (equipment in tow) and now, in a sea of digitally enhanced records, Fisher has recorded his fifth studio album live off the studio floor. Mint Juleps is a throwback to the golden era of the singer-songwriter and pays tribute to an organic kind of music that, these days, is difficult to come by. In fact, independent artists like Fisher are generally hard to come by – hardworking, witty and multi-talented.
EMC lifestyle - Family and Children’s Services of Renfrew County is holding a Purple Ribbon child abuse awareness campaign in October. The campaign will be launched in Pembroke Oct. 1, the first day of Child Abuse Prevention Month. In conjunction with the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies, local officials are working to educate the public about the prevention of child abuse and neglect. October is an important month to underscore the responsibility of the community to keep children safe and for the public to understand
their duty to protect kids. After the kick-off at 10:45 a.m. at the Pembroke Mall, the Purple Ribbon Committee has arranged for various information booths to be set up throughout the county at popular businesses. The purpose of the displays is to provide the public additional access to information surrounding the prevention of child abuse in their communities. Furthermore, the staff at Family and Children’s Services are inviting members of the public and students at local schools to show their support by wearing the colour purple every Tuesday throughout October.

EMC entertainment – It’s line-dancing time again in the Valley. This fall, there will be a daytime line-dancing program in Arnprior added to those offered in Almonte and Pakenham, as well as the usual evening sessions. In the past, participants have come to the Mississippi Mills programs from Carleton Place, Carp, Constance Bay, Kanata, Kinburn, Perth, Stittsville, and even as far afield as Manotick. Evening classes in Arnprior and Renfrew have been wellestablished for several years, and day-time line-dancing has been available for two full years in Almonte and Pakenham through the Mississippi Mills Recreation Department. The popularity of the programs has prompted organizers to expand the Arnprior offering. For the first time, the Nick Smith Centre’s, through the Arnprior Recreation Department, is offering day-time line-dancing beginning in October. Registration is underway at the Nick Smith Centre. The adult programs will run for nine weeks, from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Participants will line-dance to a wide variety of music – Western, Swing, Waltz, Latin, Jazz, Country, modern hit tunes and several other genres.

However, Festival of the Senses participants will be admitted free to watch Track Fever and enjoy the Mustangs car display. Colour is just starting to come to township foliage, with autumn’s official arrival last Saturday. But there’s also plenty of colour to be found with Bogie Arts’ exhibition and sale of works by 10 local artists. Their work will be at Barnet Cottage on Calabogie Lake.

EMC events - There’s plenty for residents or visitors to do in Greater Madawaska Township this weekend. The fifth annual Festival of the Senses sports 28 different sites that evoke a multiplicity of senses - from hospitality, soaring and home cooking, to senses of perspective, speed and colour. The festival is a project of the Calabogie and Area Business Association (CABA), which invites participants to enjoy a sense of adventure and family fun. “It’s grown from 10 sites originally,” said CABA president Byron Hermann. “It’s just an opportunity to see all the things that happen in Calabogie and area, to experience our history, our culture, our heritage.” The sense of hospitality will happen at various sites, including Knaut’s Guesthouse, where the open house offers visits of the guesthouse, a bonfire and free hot chocolate and goodies. The sense of soaring will happen at the Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort, where the driving range won’t feature golf balls, but kites. Kite kits and snacks will be available on site for kids and those adults with a sense of playfulness. The sense of home cooking will be experienced at various sites, including Polly’s Li’ll Shanty, which is promoting low-priced festival prices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For sense of perspective, try out artist Richard Gill’s 40th anniversary Landmark show at Bittersweet
