RENFREW OPP PROMOTES WATER SAFETY IN NEW INITIATIVE JONATHAN MULVIHILL jmulvihill@metroland.com The Renfrew OPP detachment launched a new safety initiative at the Burnstown Beach on Aug. 2. Community safety officer
Tina Hunt said the purpose of the launch was to promote the use of safety equipment while on the water. "Currently the law says you only need to have a lifejacket if riding in a boat, and not specifically wear one," she said. "This
initiative will make sure kids are wearing them at all times." The OPP partnered with the Renfrew County and District Health Unit and Kevin Cherry from Edward Jones Investments for this launch. They produced water bot-
tles with the OPP logo and the saying "I got caught wearing my lifejacket, safety first", and will be given to any kids the OPP marine officers come across in the water wearing their safety gear the rest of the summer.

The driver with an opioid addiction who killed a well-known Renfrew couple near Carp almost three years ago was found guilty on all six counts. Some 20 supporters of Douglas and Joan Foster, who died at the scene of a Dec. 4, 2016 collision, listened from an Ottawa courtroom as Justice Anne London-Weinstein read the reasons of judgement. The case has drawn national media attention, in part because the notorious painkiller fentanyl plays a central role. John Anstie sat almost completely alone on his side of the courtroom. He is guilty of two counts each of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing death and criminal negligence causing death. Each count carries a maximum 14 years or 10 years in jail. He will be sentenced at a later date. London-Weinstein described the events of that night. The Fosters went to Merivale Bowling Alley, then shared tea. Joan was driving their grey Honda Civic. They would drive home along Highway 417, but exited at March Road because the highway was washed out. It proved fateful. At about 9:30 p.m. along a dark stretch of March, near a gentle curve in the road, Anstie was travelling almost double the speed limit in a black Nissan, heading home to Kanata after playing videogames at a friend's in Almonte. The collision and the five seconds that preceded it were caught on Carp Depot's video surveillance. She braked and swerved to miss. He didn't attempt to stop even after crossing the centre line. Anstie was later diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep disorder. But London-Weinstein was not convinced he'd fallen asleep at the wheel exclusively because of it. The high amounts of fentanyl and the tranquilizer Xanax, along with a small amount of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana), likely played a more important role. Defence lawyer Michael Crystal also argued that fentanyl may have been administered when his client was rushed to hospital. But blood samples showing the drugs in his system were taken before painkillers were given, the court learned, as is standard practice at the Ottawa Civic hospital. London-Weinstein could not conclude when Anstie had taken the drugs (he didn't testify). His friend was proven to have lied about his own drug use, but she couldn't as-
his impairment. She nevertheless found him negligent. Needles and a saline bottle were found in the front passenger seat. The needles (not ones used by paramedics) were capped but

Rent has skyrocketed in Renfrew county and the working poor are struggling to keep pace. In 2013, the average market rent for a one-bedroom was $618. Last year it was $711. However, minimum wage - one in four Canadian workers are paid within $3 of minimum wage - has only gone from $11.25 to $14 per hour. (The Doug Ford conservative government cancelled a plan to bump it up another $1 for fear it would stall job creation that is running at about 2.6 per cent.) Financial advisers recommend contributing no more than 30 per cent of income on housing, which for minimum wage workers at 40 hours per week would be about $600 in rent. Laura LePine sees workers trying to cope with rising costs and largely stagnant incomes. She is director of social services at the
Derek Dunn/Torstar Sharon McBride reads from a prepared statement outside the Ottawa courthouse following the guilty verdict in the vehicular deaths of her sister Joan and husband Doug Foster of Renfrew. John Anstie, an opioid addict, is guilty on all six counts. Joan's sister, read from a prepared statement. "Today's ruling brings a measure of closure to a long and painful journey for our family," she said. "We commend the crown and law enforcement for their diligence in pursuing justice
THE ISSUE: WAGES HAVE NOT KEPT UP WITH RENT INCREASES ACROSS CANADA LOCAL IMPACT: GOVERNMENTS FEEL THE PRESSURE TO BUILD MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING County of Renfrew and a third hurdle: availability. "We need more affordable housing, low income housing, and rent-geared-to income housing so people are not limited to a wait list," LePine said, noting the number of households on the social housing wait list up to about 1,070. "There's not enough money for the need this year. We are looking at year two or three." The situation is just as grim in the nation's largest cities. According to recently released study by Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), low income workers can no longer find affordable rental units in 97
for Joan and Doug. Our hope is that the sentencing will reflect the gravity of this crime and send a strong message about the terrible costs of drug-impaired driving, so that other families will be spared from a similar catastrophe." per cent of neighbourhoods. In Ottawa, a worker would need $26 per hour to afford a two-bedroom unit or work 75 hours per week at the current minimum wage. "Across the country, skyrocketing rents for decent apartments show no signs of falling. Building more dedicated affordable housing would increase vacancy rates, cool rental prices and better accommodate the many people shut out of Canada's overheated housing market," said David Macdonald, CCPA senior economist. "Affordability for renters, not just home buyers, should be top of mind for all parties headed into the federal election. "In a country as rich as Canada everyone deserves a reasonable place to live. In too many communities, this is just not the case."
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
When a study about workers on minimum wage unable to afford rent in Canada's largest cities, we decided to take a look at how it is playing out in rural areas such as Renfrew county. As it turns out, minimum wage has levelled off while rents have skyrocketed.

Legal aid offices across Ontario voiced their opposition to significant cuts to their funding during the province-wide Day of Action on July 30. Locally, the Renfrew County Legal Clinic held their event in front of Town Hall on Raglan Street. This year the Renfrew County clinic is looking at a $50,000 cut to a $760,000 budget. Laura Hunter, a staff lawyer for the local clinic, says many of the community-based clinics are in danger of closing due to funding cuts. "If these cuts continue, that would mean a substantial loss of the frontline service we provide," she said. "The most vulnerable to these changes are the ones who rely on our services and cannot afford to represent themselves in court." Hunter added that they hope to reverse the current

ARNPRIOR RESIDENT CELEBRATES 100TH BIRTHDAY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com

The cafĂŠ was filled with family and friends when Anna Smith walked into her 100th birthday party, held at Island View Retirement Residence on July 25. "Thank you, thank you very much," she said heartily, over the applause. Smith sat with her sister Flo Moore, 96, to view certificates from Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Premier Doug Ford, and a hand delivered one from
Mayor Walter Stack. Born in Cobalt, Ont., she lived in Ottawa for over 75 years - having raised two daughters with husband Norman - before joining her daughter Francie Heagney (wife of dentist Pat) in Arnprior. Smith also has five grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Francie is convinced the secret to a long life is in the genes; her mother and two aunts lived to at least their late 90s. Moderation is another key, she said. Smith just laughs when asked if she is hiding the fountain of youth.
"I just think this is a very nice party they gave me. It's kind of frightening because of all the excitement," Smith said. "But I'm sure I can cope with it. Things have changed so much in my lifetime." Island View and Arnprior Villa together have several residents over the age of 100. Anna Smith, right, celebrates her 100th birthday with sister Flo Moore and daughter Francie Heagney, at Island View Suites. About 40 people gathered in the cafĂŠ for cake, juice and certificates from various dignitaries.

WHY REPORT ON THE OPIOID CRISIS? ARNPRIOR OVERDOSES SHOCKED US INTO ACTION
insideottawavalley.com
DEREK DUNN Column
Agreeing to be interviewed by a reporter requires a leap of faith and a level of courage regardless the topic. For the opioid addict loss of trust is among the most insidious aspects of their reality. Anyone who is a slave to fentanyl or other narcotics is cloaked in distrust: dealers only want your money; other addicts only want your drugs. Paranoia, hostility, and alienation become standard. Add to this the general public's stigma surrounding the recently proclaimed opioid crisis. (One study says 10 people die from illicit drug overdoses every day in Canada.) It is a moral failing, the logical extreme of hedonistic pursuit. Many look away rather than rudely express their belief: 'You have nobody to blame but yourself.' I've produced a few stories on the topic lately, ever since OPP announced five Arnprior overdoses in a period. It shocked a few into action. A business owner kindly organized an overdose-prevention workshop. A survivor bravely shared their story with me. Several shared their concerns about family members or simply their fellow town residents. Most of those conversations couldn't be "used" in stories. The information was provided as
deep background (meaning they provided facts that I would need to independently verify) or off record. After two decades in journalism, my adherence to J-school training has diminished. Yes, off record only applies when the reporter agrees. And the reason for going off record must be compelling; I'm not on the punch-clock to engage in gossip. Still - a reporter (often a stranger to sources) is a sounding board or a cathartic outlet. It helps them, but also helps to educate the reporter - a person uniquely positioned to reach large audiences. I've learned and shared with our readers much about the opioid crisis. The vast majority of addicts, for instance, harbour some deep-seeded trauma. Sexual violence and abuse during childhood are common causes. There can be a genetic component to addiction. Hence the 'nobody to blame but yourself' is demonstrably wrong. Add in societal influences such as advertising, along with pain-killer addiction caused by hard manual work (a Marxist would have much to say about the brutalities of capitalism). It becomes obvious that most addicts are victims to be helped through mental health services, not criminals to be locked up in expensive jails. The plan is to keep writing on this topic. There is much left to learn and share. As a reporter at Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, Derek Dunn covers a wide range of stories including mental health and court news.

LETTERS & COMMENTARY
MAYOR'S LAWN PATROL 'DISTURBING,' SAYS LETTER WRITER To the editor: Re: 'Arnprior mayor patrols for uncut lawns' article in which Mayor Walter Stack admitted to patrolling certain streets looking into private spaces of Arnprior residents and threatening fines and the like for uncut grass, etc. This is disturbing. There are obvious privacy concerns. Besides, the bylaw officers are paid by taxpayers for that very reason. The mayor's justification is that he has vested interests. I, like most residents, did not get a notice or a chance to vote on this pet project of beautification of Arnprior which taxpayers are obviously paying for in some way!
And a carbon tax will only allow us to mow the lawn less, not more, so the cosmetics is the least of the issues here. The town itself was in violation of its own bylaw in letting Caruso Street park become overgrown for weeks, not to mention many of the residents here are elderly, have disabilities and such and are unable to have this luxury of manicured grounds. It's not for lack of pride, Mayor Stack, but that very inference shows a lack of respect and integrity and how out of touch our politicians truly are with the people who pay their salaries and pensions! Incentives such as lower-cost lawn services for
residents who are in low income and elderly residents instead of threats and insults would have been a more realistic and decent approach. You Mayor Stack are way out of line and, for the record, your mayoral duties do not include breaking privacy laws for the citizens you represent for purpose of entrapment. I will gladly oppose you in the next election, we deserve better!

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT SURVEY RESULTS PUT ARH AHEAD OF PEERS ARNPRIOR REGIONAL HEALTH The results are in: Arnprior Regional Health's overall employee engagement score is 72.3%. "We are pleased that our overall engagement results rank higher than our peer hospital average, but we will continue to find ways to improve our organizational culture and employee experience," said Eric Hanna, President and CEO, ARH. "We know when our employees are engaged, we provide better patient/resident/client care experiences and improved clinical results for our community." The survey was administered by NRC Health, a third-party organization that provides employee en-
A
gagement feedback and metrics. It is a key opportunity for ARH staff to anonymously share insights about their employee experience, and it informs how ARH can improve its culture. Key areas that improved from last year include: • alignment of employees' values with the organizations • respect in the workplace • helping each other at work "Our employees are paramount to creating a healthy community and these survey results provide invaluable insight into how ARH can enable our teams to do their best work for our patients, clients, residents and their fami-
lies," said Hanna. Based on employee feedback and approval from the Board of Directors, this fiscal year ARH will focus on increasing the positive responses on the question "Organization inspires best job performance" by 2% over the 2018/19 survey results by March 31, 2020. This will be done by managers and senior leadership working with staff to ensure: • more employee feedback is heard via increased Leader Rounding on Employees • more recognition of employees' achievements and contributions Additionally, employee focus groups will be held to help ARH reach this 2019-20 goal.
TOXIC
DECISION?
Of the more than 1,046 facilities reporting to the Toxics Reduction Program, 40 per cent intended to implement ways to reduce at least one toxic substance. Their initiative was commended by experts, who are against the program’s cancellations. For the final instalment of A Toxic Decision?, a Torstar Community Brands multi-part web-exclusive series, we set out to discover how these facilities devised their plan and what impacts — if any — implementation had on their operations. This should have been a good news story for industry, but manufacturers representing a variety of sectors across Ontario snubbed repeated requests for comments.

SUMMER ALWAYS BROUGHT VISITS FROM THE TRAVELLING SALESMAN THE TWO MYSTERIOUS VISITORS BROKE THE MONOTONY, MARY COOK WRITES MARY COOK Column
Every day was the same during the summer, I thought. One day stretched into another, and the excitement that came when the two-month school holiday began had worn off. Having relatives come broke the monotony, and having a friend over helped, but certainly having a visit from the Rawleigh man during a long summer month was something to look forward to. We never knew when he was coming, but we certainly knew when he was about to arrive. He sang at the top of his lungs all the way in our long lane, which sent our dog Sport heading for the barn, and gave us warning that he was on his way. He had been coming for years, and knew us children by name, and called Mother just plain Mrs. He carried two big black suitcases, and never asked if it was a good time to visit, but simply took one at a time
out of the back of his buggy, nodding to whoever was standing closest to the kitchen door. He went right to the old pine table and hoisted up both cases, never stopped talking about what a glorious day it was, how blessed we were to live on a farm, be in good health, and have enough food to keep us alive. How he knew all this was beyond me. We kids sat on the benches at the table, as the Rawleigh man laid out his wares, handling each item as if it was made of gold, and telling of its virtues, and how no kitchen or home should be without it. But Mother was no pushover. She put aside only what was absolutely needed, like vanilla and tinned mustard. Just before the man made his final pitch, he reached down into the very bottom of his suitcase (and this is what we children were waiting for), he hauled out a little round case of sewing needles, handed it to Mother, and said “something for the Mrs.” The visit was over. Another caller to the farm every summer was from a man whose name we never knew. He was simply called "the picker." The picker’s horse was sleek as silk, with thin legs, and its bridle shone like silver and with harness of the finest leather. It matched the buggy, which had been added
to, to give it a longer look and with a box affair attached to the back where the picker put whatever he could buy from Father. He was interested only in hides and rags. From "putting down" our meat for the smoke house, the hides had been carefully stored in the barn awaiting a visit from the picker who seemed to know exactly when to come. The rags where simply old, and no longer of any use, grain bags which when emptied were piled in a heap in a corner of the barn. There never seemed to be much negotiation over prices. Both Father and the picker simply nodded to each other, a wad of bills was taken out of the man’s pocket, he peeled off a couple, and Father pocketed the money with a simple handshake. I thought the visitor was a cut above the Rawleigh man, because he was so polite, never made small talk, was there to do business and be on his way. And he wore a suit, which to me, was another indication that he was a man of higher standing. Both visitors to our farm during those long summer days were what I looked forward to. Never knowing exactly when they would be coming, but assured they would come, added to the excitement. They broke the monotony, if only for a few hours on a hot summer day.

STREET UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTS DOWN
staff discovered a watermain break beneath the sidewalk near the Canada Post building early in the morning. "The repair is complete and water has been restored to residents," operations manager John Steckly said
shut down in both directions. Madawaska Street from Harriet to the intersection with Harrington and Elgin was closed on July 30. Town
DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com One of the more heavily used streets in Arnprior was
by mid-afternoon. "The road is anticipated to be opened by 5:30 p.m. today." A couple of years ago Arnprior underwent a $10 million downtown revitalization that saw much upgrading of below and above ground in-
frastructure. Some pipes date back 100 years. Madawaska Street was outside the project's scope. A water hydrant nearby cracked almost three years ago, causing $200,000 damages to the historic D.A. Gil-
lies Building (home of the town's museum). A watermain on William Street is being replaced to the tune of almost $2 million. Watermains typically break during thaw periods in late winter.

GARNHAM, Marc Harry November 2, 1960 ~ July 23, 2019 Marc was born in Ottawa and spent his childhood there. At the tender age of 17, the Pacific coast called to him. He remained in B.C. for the next 17 or 18 years exploring the wonders of the coast. At the time, Marc heard another call! It was time to return to Ontario. He settled in the Renfrew area. Here he spent the next 15 years or so reconnecting with his brother Marty and his family. Marc became deeply loved by his newfound family and his many new friends. Marc did return to his beloved west coast with his fur-babies, his giant black dog Dante and his cat Folly. Marc returned home with his fur-babies to Dacre and the Renfrew area for the last seven years. This was at the insistence of his brother Marty and his sister-in-law who wished to help and care for him as his health failed him. Marc passed peacefully at home with his family by his side. He is survived by his mom Constance Sheppey, aunt Carol (Chuck), brother Marty (Tammy) Fournier, step-sister Barbara Sheppey, many nieces and only nephew Dallas as well as three grand-nieces. Predeceased by his father Russell Garnham, paternal grandmother Mary Garnham, maternal grandparents Aureal Fex and Aline Lacroix. Arrangements entrusted to the care of the Goulet Funeral Home. Donations in Memory of Marc may be made to Valley Animal Rescue. Online condolences and donations may be made at www.gouletfuneralhome.com Rest in Peace, Marc

THERE IS A LOT OF FALSE INFORMATION ‘FLOATING AROUND’ ABOUT CNL’S NSDF PROJECT.
HERE ARE THE FACTS. For projects that are the size and scope of the Near Surface Disposal Facility (NSDF), it can be difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, so let’s set the record straight. WHY DO WE NEED THIS FACILITY? CNL has conducted remarkable work over the past 60 years, including the production of lifesaving medical isotopes, and the development of CANDU reactors which cleanly, safely and reliably produce more than half of Ontario’s energy.

This work has also generated radioactive waste. While this waste was managed according to the best practices and regulations at the time, standards have changed. Some of this waste is now stored using outdated technology which in some cases has led to contamination.
Any water that enters the facility during operation would be diverted to a wastewater treatment plant to remove contaminants. WHAT WILL GO INTO THE NSDF? The NSDF will only contain low-level radioactive waste such as soil from environmental clean-up work on the Chalk River site, demolition debris and general trash such as used personal protection clothing or equipment.
CNL wants to do the responsible thing and clean up this waste and manage it with modern technology.
WHERE WOULD IT BE BUILT? The proposed NSDF would be built at Chalk River Laboratories, where more than 90 per cent of the waste is already located. 14 locations were considered and judged according to size, access to utilities, flood risks, geotechnical considerations and species at risk.
CNL is also in the process of revitalizing Chalk River Laboratories to create a world-class nuclear research centre. The NSDF is a key element in enabling that transformation, helping us to protect the environment and ensuring the responsible and safe disposal of low-level radioactive waste.
The chosen site is over one kilometre from the Ottawa River along a bedrock ridge that naturally forces water to flow in the opposite direction of the river. It is close to the Chalk River campus which has the required support services and in an area that has existing waste storage sites.
WHAT IS THE NSDF? The NSDF is an engineered containment mound that will allow CNL to isolate low-level radioactive waste in a facility designed to keep this material separate from the environment and remove the present day risk. The waste will be isolated by a three metre thick multi-layer base liner and cover system that has been tested to last over 550 years, at which point the radioactivity will have decayed to levels you would find in the natural environment.
DOES THE LOCATION POSE A THREAT TO THE OTTAWA RIVER? No, it does not. The NSDF is designed to protect the Ottawa River, not to harm it and in fact remove the present risk that exists from historical operations. While it’s hard to imagine a scenario where contaminants would penetrate the facility’s liner and not be handled by the waste water treatment system, it would still take an estimated seven years to travel through the ground and reach the Ottawa River, giving CNL ample time to detect and resolve the

communications@cnl.ca
issue. CNL’s environmental monitoring program already conducts tens of thousands of tests each year, and will be expanded to monitor conditions around the new facility. I’VE HEARD YOU RELEASE TRITIUM INTO THE RIVER. WHAT IS THIS? Like all industries, CNL does have planned releases to the environment. This includes the controlled release of tritium, a radioactive isotope found naturally in the environment, including the air you breathe and the water you drink. Tritium can be harmful in high concentrations. CNL will only permit releases that are carefully controlled and well below regulatory limits, posing no threat. WHAT ABOUT A NATURAL DISASTER LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE OR A TORNADO? The NSDF has been designed to withstand extreme weather and events such as earthquakes, tornadoes, forest fires, sabotage and major storms. The base of the facility is also located approximately 50 metres above the Ottawa River, much higher than any flood waters that might occur. WHERE CAN I GET THE FACTS ABOUT THIS PROJECT? The NSDF is subject to a federal government-led and very public, environmental assessment process. If you’d like to learn more about the project and the science which supports the decision-making, you can do so through this formal review process. Learn more at www.cnl.ca/NSDF.
