Smoke was pouring out of a garage when Arnprior firefighters arrived on scene late Friday afternoon and into the evening.

A garage at 282 Division Street was the site of most efforts with the home fronting the property escaping flames. On Monday, fire Captain Cory Nicholas said the homeowner was working on his car when an accident occurred.

"He did everything right. He called 911 right away, got his dogs out. He even had an extinguisher on hand," Nicholas said. "It's just one of those things that get away on you."

The garage will likely have to come down, but the firefighters See HOUSE, page 14

ENFORCEMENT QUESTIONS ABOUND AT RENFREW CANNABIS MEETING JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com At a forum hosted in Renfrew by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, local officials expressed the fear the legalization of recreational pot use Oct. 17 will put new pressures on emergency responders.

The problem will be made worse because of uncertainty regarding the rules surrounding marijuana use, those at the meeting said.

"While Trudeau may be buzzed about the idea, first responders including fire, as well as municipal officials, are concerned we are not ready," said Gallant.

Madawaska Valley fire chief Corwin Quade had two concerns: that the number of extrications, especially in the rural areas, will increase because of toking and driving, and the number of volunteer firefighters available will drop

if some can't attend because they've been using pot.

Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards fire chief Bob Gareau agreed that fire departments should expect more calls "because of cannabis impairment."

Eganville-area businessperson and council candidate Tim Schison expressed concern about pot becoming more accessible to youth. Noting that gunowners have to lock up their firearms to keep them from children, "I'd like to see heavy fines if you allow it to get into hands of minors."

With marijuana to be bought online until the retail outlet system launches in April, Laurentian Valley Coun. Brian Hugli asked how it is being ensured pot delivered by Canada Post "won't be sidetracked along the way."

"They won't be leaving it in the mailbox," said Renfrew OPP Community Ser-

vices Office Janice Sawbridge. "An adult will have to sign for it."

Renfrew OPP Insp. Colin Slight agreed legalization is a "complex issue," but noted police forces are consulting with each other on how best to handle it and are committed to enforcing both federal and provincial laws.

He said the OPP has formed a working group to develop communication and training strategies to deal with the change and educate 4,000 officers on the new laws. The plan is to train 75 drug recognition experts annually for the next five years.

If it's decided police need to take blood or urine samples instead of a simple mouth swab to test level of driver drug impairment, it will particularly problematic and expensive for rural detachments and ratepayers, local officials say.

In response to a question by Schison about what

level of impairment is acceptable, Sawbridge said it is yet to be settled, so for now it's based on an officer's perception, not a number. "If you're obviously impaired, you'll be arrested."

Driving while high "is no different than alcohol," Slight stressed, noting officers are trained to do a battery of tests to judge driver performance. There will be a zero tolerance for young drivers, he added.

Some laws are clear, Slight said, such as a user has to be 19 or older, adults can possess up to 30 grams or equivalent of cannabis and can grow up to four plants on their property for personal use. People can make their own cannabis products but not sell them.

Offenders will be ticketed.

Authorized dealers will be able to sell cannabis, starting online, with a private storefront retail system set up by April 1, 2019.

Slight said police do face challenges such as how

best to educate youth about marijuana use, interpreting what rights tenants and landlords have, and determine how pot use affects job performance in their own officers.

Sawbridge said the police's schools program targeting Grade 6s will continue as would talks in the high schools. They focus on such topics as the health effects of marijuana, impaired driving and the new laws.

Regarding enforcement, "we're definitely learning as we go along," said East Region OPP Detective Sgt. Chad Culbert.

He said the OPP is committed to providing thorough background checks to anyone who commercially grows or sells marijuana.

"We're focusing on public safety," he said.

When asked by Gallant if the legalization is taking cannabis out of the hands of organized crime, Culbert said criminals will still be

involved as they are in every aspect of society. Even though tobacco is legal, there is a black market in cigarettes, he noted.

"The federal government is sending mixed signals affecting possession, usage, youth protection and crime by legalizing marijuana," said Gallant.

"On one hand they claim they want to defeat organized crime by being competitive with price and quality and access to marijuana, but are silent on health warnings with no restrictions on marketing and advertising.

"The way tobacco is regulated in Canada should be a starting point on how to regulate the sale of cannabis," said Gallant. "Legalizing marijuana contravenes three UN conventions on narcotics to which Canada is a signatory."

Ontario has indicated it will allow pot to be smoked everywhere it is legal to smoke tobacco.

COST, CONFUSION AMONG POT FEARS EXPRESSED AT RENFREW MEETING JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com

THE ISSUE: LEGALIZATION OF POT LOCAL IMPACT: OFFICIALS FEAR TAXPAYERS, BUSINESSES WILL BEAR BRUNTOF SAFETY, ENFORCEMENT COSTS for the public and municipal government to comment before a company is granted a licence. for a proposed location.

It was disclosed that Arnprior council is leaning toward allowing a cannabis outlet in town, while in Renfrew a majority of downtown businesses polled are against a pot store on main street.

Municipalities have until Jan. 22 to opt out of allowing outlets within their boundaries when the retail store system is launched by April 1, 2019 (the Conservative government has decided against going ahead with the previous regime's plan to sell pot at LCBO stores in favour of a private outlet system). Prior to that pot will be sold only online in the province through the Ontario Cannabis Store (https://ocslearn.ca if you are 19 or older).

Arnprior Coun. Dan Lynch said council feels a cannabis outlet could help attract people who would then visit other stores in town (the rumoured location in Arnprior is the former Play It Again Sports store).

Renfrew BIA chair Lisa Vincent reported her members are worried several pot outlets will be allowed to locate in the downtown core.

Sixty per cent of members are against having an outlet downtown, she said.

"Renfrew has done a fantastic job revitalizing the downtown core," noted Gallant. "Uncertainty about what will happen next is bad for business. Just because something is being made legal, does not make it safe or a good idea."

Horton Mayor Bob Kingsbury raised two concerns: that municipal bylaw offi-

cers shouldn't be saddled with enforcement because they are not qualified or trained to do that type of police work; and municipalities should be alerted before medical marijuana farms licensed by Health Canada are allowed to crop up unannounced in their areas.

"There's not been a lot of social issues thought through before this was rolled out," said Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards CAO Lorna Hudder. "We're already having problems."

She said it is frustrating not knowing who is responsible for what when if comes to cannabis use. "We could use some clarity," she said, noting that municipalities don't know how far they can go in restricting everyone from heavy equipment operators to teenagers from using pot.

"It's very worrisome."

"I feel sorry for our department heads," said Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards Coun. Stanley Pecoskie, questioning how snowplow operators could be tested if called in suddenly to deal with a surprise storm.

Vincent said that business owners are also concerned about uncertainty over rights of employers and employees regarding pot use. "Employers need more clarity," agreed Gallant.

Eganville area businessman and council candidate Tim Schison said the uncertainty leaves industry such as sawmills "very concerned about workplace safety."

They feel their "hands are tied" when it comes to disciplinary action, he explained.

Renfrew OPP Insp. Colin Slight said there is a variety of workplace safety legislation that allows employers to determine the threshold of use that is acceptable in their

Gallant thanked the attendees for their contributions and Miller for arranging the session at the Renfrew Masonic Lodge meeting room.

She told the group her office is receiving many calls on the issue. One involved a Christmas dinner in which one of the gifts was a plate of brownies. Three of the people at the dinner became violently ill and it was determined the brownies had been injected with pot.

The maker of the brownies thought that as it was medical marijuana it would be OK, said Gallant. She noted that one of the dinner-goers had taken a brownie home for her young son, but luckily found out that it had made others ill before giving it to him.

"It could have killed the boy," said Gallant. "That's the type of concern we're dealing with in the office."

"I encourage constituents to contact me with their concerns," added Gallant. "The federal government has used its majority to push through the legalization of marijuana. It will be local citizens who will suffer the consequences of being unprepared."

Municipal officials are worried that local taxpayers and businesses will bear the burden of extra costs incurred when pot becomes legal Wednesday, Oct. 17.

A lack of direction and mixed signals from the upper levels of government have municipal officials struggling with how to implement the change. That was apparent at a forum hosted recently in Renfrew

by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant to hear concerns of local business, political, police, fire and municipal staff representatives from her riding.

The consensus was that the legalization of marijuana will impose extra responsibilities and costs on local government, emergency responders, employers and landlords.

McNab/Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett noted that legal pot will likely lead to more calls for police officers, firefighters and paramedics as well as new pressures on the health care system, all of which will bring added costs to municipalities.

"Municipalities are concerned about the additional costs," agreed Gallant. "It was felt the federal government, not local ratepayers, should bear those costs such as regulation and enforcement."

Several representatives expressed fears that the lack of preparation will lead to health, safety and enforcement problems, with municipalities taking the brunt of the blame when things go awry.

Renfrew planner Ivan Burton noted some municipalities are ordering studies of the social and economic development impact of having a cannabis outlet in town. He wondered if the federal and provincial governments will issue guidelines restricting locations, whether towns can prevent sales in certain commercial areas, and could owners grow four pot plants in vacant buildings.

The provincial government has answered another of his questions, announcing there will be a 15-day period

own businesses. "Employers have the right to send someone home if they can't do their job properly," he said.

Some companies have already told employees not to indulge in pot within eight hours of their shift, noted Renfrew OPP Community Services Officer Janice Sawbridge.

Renfrew council candidate Jim Miller said that companies need a clear marijuana use policy to avoid being accused of picking on certain employees.

Miller also raised a concern about second-hand smoke, suggesting it was a much greater problem now with pot's average THC content 31 per cent compared to 6 per cent in 1960.

COUNCIL

MCNAB/BRAESIDE COUNCIL HEARS BOTH SIDE OF RECOVERY CENTRE DEBATE JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com After hearing an impassioned plea from Andrea McCormick to close the Blue Skies Recovery Centre, McNab/Braeside council decided to seriously consider suspending the addiction treatment facility's operation until its rezoning application is considered.

However, council wasn't going to make a final decision until hearing a presentation by Blue Skies owner Sean Conner at its Oct. 16 meeting.

McCormick, accompanied to the Oct. 9 council meeting by about two dozen neighbours of the recovery centre located about two kilometres down McLeod Road, argued that the privately owned fee-forservice commercial enterprise shouldn't be allowed to remain operating in a residential zone.

Council is expected to hear an application from Blue Skies for an exemp-

tion to allow its operation, with a public hearing likely at 6 p.m. prior to its Nov. 13 planning advisory committee meeting.

Councillors appeared reluctant to shut down the operation in the meantime, especially as it's likely there are clients in the middle of programs. "We really just can't kick them out," said Coun. Heather Lang, noting it could become a human rights issue.

A resident suggested that, instead of shutting down Blue Skies, the township could suspend its operations, which would stop it from accepting new clients but allow those already there to stay until treated.

That prompted Lang to propose a motion, seconded by Coun. Mark MacKenzie, to suspend Blue Skies' operation "until a decision has been made with regards to the zoning bylaw amendment application."

However, council decided to delay voting on the motion until the Oct. 16

agreed with the suspension compromise instead of closure "on compassionate grounds" and also delaying the vote a week to get more information to ensure an "informed" vote. "We're looking for a long-term solution here," he said, adding people need to know they "have to have their ducks in a row when changing usage of a building."

Before council was to revisit the suspension motion in open session, it scheduled a closed meeting at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 16 to discuss legal advice received on the Blue Skies issue. As well, Connor was included on the agenda to address council about his proposal armed with a copy of the Lanark Highlands zoning bylaw that allows group homes in rural and residential zones.

At the Oct. 9 meeting, council gave the delegation plenty of leeway, allowing its time to be extended and not asking three other speakers to state their names, as is normal practice in a public meeting.

At the Sept. 18 planning advisory committee meeting, several neighbours who attended to express concerns about the recovery centre asked their names not be noted in the minutes "for fear of being harassed." However, they did admit, in response to a question by MacKenzie, that they had not been personally harassed.

After hearing the complaints, the committee directed staff to ask the township lawyer to determine if Blue Skies is a commercial use and if the subdivision covenants for the area forbidding such an operation are registered on land titles.

One resident told council he is worried amending the Blue Skies zoning would "open up the whole subdivision to commercial development."

One of the treatment centre's next-door neighbours said he has young children who "are afraid" because the family doesn't know who is staying there because the clients change every month. "It seems like the law is broken, and we want that to stop," he said.

He thanked the neighbours for showing up at the meeting. "Before, we felt alone."

Another neighbour said he first raised the issue with the township on May 14, when he was told Blue Skies met the definition of a group home, a contention the county has since indicated is not the case.

Planner Bruce Howarth explained that a landowner is usually given the option to bring a property into compliance or shut down the non-permitted use.

Council is obligated to consider all rezoning requests but will give notice to nearby neighbours and hold a public meeting to get input, he said.

Asked if council or staff could close down Blue Skies while the process is ongoing, Howarth said, "They can enforce the bylaw."

Mayor Tom Peckett stressed it isn't "prudent" to have staff decide whether to close the business, "but council should," leading to Lang's motion.

In her address to council, McCormick said the neighbours understood that council didn't want to be "heavy-handed" in dealing with the recovery centre, but in doing so was being "heavy-handed" when dealing with neighbours' complaints and questions.

Council ignored residents' request for a commu-

nity meeting on the issue, despite "this being a very major change to our community," she said. As a result, the rumour mill went into high gear and the angst grew, she added.

"We have tried to participate ... we tried for weeks and weeks to get council's attention," she said. "We want you to listen and at least hear our side."

McCormick said the township should have been more transparent, because residents still have many questions. They would like to know if Blue Skies was given any guarantees when it took over the property Dec. 20, if its fire and septic inspections were done for a residential or commercial property, and what advice the township received from the Renfrew County planning department.

Property owners who pay taxes and obey the laws should have their rural lifestyle and children protected, she said. "You have the responsibility to defend your residents."

Council needs to find out "why this has gone off the rails," she said, adding she is concerned this indicates the township is not properly equipped to handled "the growth that's going to come."

However, "I hope some good will come of this and it will never happen again," McCormick said.

"There are definite lessons learned on multiple fronts," said Armsden, in promising that all the residents' questions would be answered.

In question period, McNab/Braeside mayoralty candidate Lou Laventure asked why council hadn't answered the residents' questions and held a public meeting two months ago.

"I don't carry on council business on emails," said Peckett, adding that by addressing all of council in public session, McCormick raised the issue "the way it should be done."

Laventure replied that if council meetings were livestreamed, as he advocates, the ratepayers would be upto-date on what's happening, not two weeks behind.

CANADA 150 REJECTION NOT DETERRING ARNPRIOR, MCNAB/BRAESIDE RINK EFFORTS JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Dreams of relocating the Canada 150 skating rink to this area have been dashed.

However, both Arnprior and McNab/Braeside are still moving ahead on plans to build new outdoor rinks in their communities.

The two municipalities had been among the eight communities that applied for the outdoor rink set up on Parliament Hill last winter. However, Heritage Canada awarded the $8.2-million ice rink used by about 150,000 skaters over 83 days on Parliament Hill last winter to Gananoque.

That town will receive the rink's boards, Plexiglas, protective netting, players benches, hockey nets and a scoreboard system along with up to $150,000 to offset site preparation and installation costs.

One of the clinchers in the decision to relocate the rink to Gananoque was the fact it's in the riding represented for 18 years by Conservative MP and enthusiastic hockey player Gord Brown. Brown died May 2 after suffering a heart attack.

Gananoque is expected to rename the rink after Brown.

Arnprior chief administrative officer Michael Wildman said he isn't surprised Gananoque received the rink considering how well Brown was liked on both sides in the House of Commons and in the hockey world.

He noted Arnprior's current council is still supportive of erecting an outdoor rink in town, but it's not likely to be completed in time for this winter.

The effort was slowed somewhat when the Canada 150 rink wasn't awarded until late September (Heritage Canada had earlier indicated it would make a decision by mid-August).

That's not necessarily a bad thing, said Wildman, adding "it allows more time to raise funds and get it right."

He said council has indicated it would provide town funding for lighting at the rink and ongoing operating costs as long as other partners are on board. They include the Sens Foundation, which has committed to help fund 20 Sens rinks around the area; the Arnprior Optimist Club, which has promised to lead a community fundraising campaign; and M. Sullivan & Sons, which has offered in-kind donations related to construction of the

"My campaign is based around listening to what the residents say," he said. "It's too early to pass judgment," he added, explaining he needs to do more homework on the matter.

"Nobody is against the (recreation and library) services," he said. "How we pay for them is the question."

He said his children used recreation facilities in Arnprior as they played minor hockey for several years.

Mayor McNab-braeside On ElEctiOn Day – MOnDay OctObEr 22, 2018

you will be making a clear choice between two very different candidates for Mayor: a spender or a man who will set priorities based on need and affordability A SUSTAINABLE BUDGET Today’s Mayor The Township budget increased from $7.6 million in 2015 to $10.1 million in 2018, spiking to $13.7 million in 2017. The current debt of $1 million is expected to grow to $7 million by 2019—at a time when our population has decreased by 2.6%. (2016 Census) There is a limit to how much money can be spent and how much taxpayers can afford now and in the future. Levies increased every year from 8.5% in 2016 to 10% this year; a 6.7% levy is forecasted as the starting point for 2019 increasing the burden on citizens—from young families to seniors on fixed incomes.

The spending raises important questions about the wisdom of constructing so many projects at once, the projected impact on the 2019 levy and in future years, the increase in debt, and how that will affect the ability to make investments in priorities such as roads.

As Mayor, Lou Laventure will: Bring his 35-years of successful business experience to the Council table to keep taxes stable and as low as possible without compromising public safety by ensuring: ✓ affordability ✓ priorities reflect needs ✓ spending is planned to meet needs at the right time ✓ we seek as many provincial and federal grants as possible ✓ enough money is put aside to pay for large projects to avoid debt where possible

SPENDING CONTROLS Today’s Mayor The Braeside Salt and Sand Shed and the Braeside RA Centre had to be replaced but at what cost? The tendered cost for the 4,000 square foot building was $1.8 million in September 2017 and rose to $2.2 million in January 2018. The new Town Hall went from a $4.8 million estimate including a 20% contingency in July 2017 to an approved budget of $6.4 million in January 2018.

With Lou Laventure AS YOUR MAYOR: Projects will be based on: ✓ affordability and need ✓ proper planning and costing ✓ obtaining available federal and provincial grants ✓ controlling costs

GETTING OUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT insideottawavalley.com

Today’s Mayor The Braeside RA Centre and salt/sand sheds needed to be replaced.

However, roads were identified as the #1 priority in the 2013 KPMG assessment of roads, buildings and vehicles. It said spending averaging $3.6 million a year over 10 years was needed to address

immediate needs and not including rehabilitation and replacement which added another $8.5 million.

In the past four years, only $5.6 million was spent on roads. The longer you put off doing road work when it is needed, the more expensive the job becomes when you do get to it.

As Mayor, Lou Laventure will: ✓ work with Council to reassess priorities and ensure work is done at the right time ✓ identify funding/sources of funding ✓ seek provincial and federal grants

APPOINT COUNCIL MEMBERS TO COMMITTEES Today’s Mayor Why didn’t he appoint Council members to committees* at McNabBraeside? Most are run by staff. Why did Council members go along with it? Council members have an important role in approving or amending staff reports, providing guidance on policy and ensuring citizens are heard before reports go to a regular Council meeting for decision. *except Planning Advisory Committee

With Lou Laventure AS YOUR MAYOR ✓ Council members will be appointed to committees. ✓ Staff will provide support to committees.

YOUR VOTE COUNTS Your Mayor and Council decided not to permit voting using paper ballot with consideration of citizens’ needs—some citizens say they aren’t going to vote because they aren’t comfortable with technology.

The time will come when paper ballots will not be needed but we aren’t there yet. Unfortunately, nothing can be done for this election, but you can call the Township and ask for assistance.

TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY Lou will work with Council and staff to do a better job of engaging residents and businesses by streaming Council meetings, using print and electronic newsletters, posting information at our facilities, advertising, and social media.

LIBRARY, RECREATION AND CULTURE Library and recreation—services Lou supports—are important to the vitality of our community. We have some great programs and services! Lou will: ✓ review contracts and costs to respond to questions he has been asked ✓ ensure that when residents are asked for their views about Township services, a statistically valid, random telephone survey will be commissioned and conducted by an independent, professional polling company.

DEVELOPMENT Today’s Mayor In November 2017, assessment growth was less than 1%. That’s the figure used for the 2018 budget. Assessment growth helps reduce taxation.

With Lou Laventure AS YOUR MAYOR ✓ Two of the five subdivisions now underway were started by the previous Council over four years ago. We need to look at how to speed up the approval process by streamlining it. ✓ We need to make use of land not suitable for farmland ✓ We need to encourage infilling where possible—in open spaces in residential areas without compromising the rural flavour ✓ Young people, some with heavy education debts, need access to affordable housing if they are to remain in our community. They are our future. ✓ A review of the severance policy which allows an owner to sever three lots must happen. If if an owner wants to sever any additional lots, he/she must go through a plan of subdivision—a costly, onerous process that makes the 4th severance not viable financially. The exception is hamlets where five severances are allowed—five severances should be considered for infill development in all areas of township. ✓ Enforcement of zoning complaints and requests for rezoning need to be re-examined.

MORE SUPPORT FOR SMALL BUSINESS AND ENTREPRENEURS Small business—the backbone of any economy—creates the most jobs. This Council does not make businesses aware of upcoming projects.

As Mayor, Lou Laventure will ensure: ✓ requests for quotation, proposals, and tenders are posted on the website ✓ an email system is set up to alert businesses about major projects ✓ entrepreneurs are supported with information and help available (including Enterprise Renfrew, the Business Development Bank)

GIVE VOLUNTEERS CREDIT: MAYOR CLAIMS SUCCESS IN PAMPHLET? FACT-MB, a group of volunteers, did the work, and successfully appeared before the OMB to stop a permanent asphalt plant in Braeside and increase the buffer zone for neighbouring properties.

Lou Laventure: Community organizations add a great deal to our quality of life. FACT-MB is a good example. Others like the Calabogie Snowmobile Club are actively building community infrastructure without using taxpayers’ More partnerships with community groups need to be encouraged and their work acknowledged by Council.

ON OCTOBER 22, I wOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT

nouts, but there is a link to suicide that is being slowly recognized.

"I don't come in with the goal of throwing out your stuff. They are your possessions," she said. "We are here to support and help achieve your goals."

Schuler said it is possible that the disorder is triggered by a traumatic event or series of events.

But when it becomes difficult to uses spaces as originally intended - the living room for sitting and entertaining, the bathtub for bathing - many will realize they need help. If bills are lost under belongings, you are often late for work because the car is cluttered: these are among symptoms of hoarding disorder.

The Buried In Treasures group offers a free, limitless number of sessions that, according to Mental Health Services of Renfrew County, has resulted in an improvement rate for 90 per cent of clients.

The fire department and mental health services have been working together for several months to address a significant problem in Arnprior: hoarding.

After hoarding disorder was declared an illness five years ago, Mental Health Services of Renfrew County began a treatment group called Buried in Treasures, operated in Arnprior by caseworker Lisa Schuler.

Her concern is that television shows and other forms of media have increased the stigma and shame many sufferers experience.

She could not find a local client willing to speak with Metroland Media.

"There is a misconception of dirty houses full of junk, and there are cases of squalor, but it is really a thought process disorder," Schuler said. "I want people to know that there is help out there if they want it."

However, it might seem strange that the Arnprior Fire Department would have a role to play. Captain

Cory Nicholas said firefighters can find themselves on the floor of a burning building, where search and rescue techniques in low visibility conditions require them to feel walls for guidance.

That is made much more difficult of in rooms that are filled to the ceiling with belongings.

"Hoarding is a serious concern here in Renfrew county," Nicholas said.

"Any time a home has high contents, that is something we need to know about to preplan potential firefighting tactics to ensure occupant and firefighter safety."

Modern construction already fails under fire conditions, and when you have unusually high contents that adds more complexity, he added. Given that experts believe two per cent of the population has some level of hoarding disorder, one in about every 10 homes could pose a threat.

That is not to say authorities are going to take away all a person's belongings. Schuler is quick to say that can cause mistrust and considerable distress.

OPINION EDITORIAL

HELP BREAK THE SILENCE Every child has a right to safety and well-being.

October is Child Abuse Prevention Month and it's a perfect time to underscore the responsibility of the community to keep children safe and for the public to understand their duty to protect kids.

Family and Children's Services of Renfrew County (FCSRC) and local organizations, businesses and individuals are joining communities across Ontario to support the cause with the purple ribbon campaign.

"The Purple Ribbon Campaign is truly a community initiative led by caring citizens and organizations who want to help families and support healthy growth and development of all of our children and youth," says Arijana Haramincic, executive director of FCSRC. "We want our community to know that when you share a concern for a child or youth, we might be firm on safety, but we are hugely caring."

The agency's website says its priority is to support children living safely with their immediate family.

"The organization is focused on empowering families to provide their own solutions so children can stay safely in their own families. A big part of this is working closely with families to educate parents, strengthen their caregiver skills, support their personal growth and help them ensure their children's physical, emotional and mental needs can be met," says the website.

"Through programs including Parents Anonymous, Caring Dads, Jubilee Place and EarlyON Child and Family Centre in Pembroke, as well as referrals to many other community services, FCSRC helps to facilitate the supports families recognize they need."

Launch events in both Renfrew and Pembroke, as well as a number of events in several communities, have been well attended.

A call out to Renfrew County hockey teams to help #BreaktheSilence by sporting purple stick tape was wildly successful.

You can help by attending one of several local events or even just by wearing purple Oct. 24. Purple ribbon T-shirts can be purchased at any campaign event or online at www.oacas.org/dresspurpleday.

There are online classroom resources available to help teachers make the day a meaningful and engaging learning opportunity for students at www.oacas.org/ dresspurpleday.

Also, FCSRC, in partnership with Domino's Pizza, is hosting a contest to encourage schools to participate.

Participating classrooms are encouraged to take pictures and share at #DressPurpleRenfrewCounty, and if on Facebook to tag Family and Children's Services of Renfrew County. Those who participate will have a chance to win pizza for the entire class.

Upcoming events include:

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY OBJECTIVE FULFILLED To the editor: This letter will commend the initiative of the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce in sponsoring the allcandidates meeting on Oct. 4. My wife and I have a vote in Arnprior for the first time since 1983, and until now we did not know the elected officials or the candidates.

We were particularly interested in the candidates response to the first question: "Will the moderator provide this meeting with a brief outline of the options and plan for closure and relocation of the Arnprior Waste Disposal Site". The relocation of the Arnprior dump to the village of Braeside 50 years ago was a grievous error. Residents of this pristine rural hamlet have endured the ecological abuses for long enough. The candidates spoke of the need for the municipalities of Arnprior and McNab/Braeside to work together on this acknowledged serious problem. However they agreed that the responsibility to mitigate the problem rests with the town of Arnprior.

On the question of communication some of the candidates recommended the use of social media platforms. I thought the idea of using the weekly Arnprior Chronicle-Guide was the best comment. This local newspaper provides a sense of community for the whole region.

Candidates wasted time in extolling the virtues of small town residence to the local audience. Whether by choice or circumstances we all agree with the positive appreciation of our community.

My objective in attending this meeting was to know the candidates for the election and that was fulfilled.

Jason Marshall was the moderator for the meetings on Oct 2 and Oct. 4, 2018. I thought he performed admirably given the difficult task.

You may care to add this note of appreciation to my letter.

DAN SMITH MCNAB/BRAESIDE

COMMENT DECRIED To the editor: The current

McNab/

Braeside council came into being because the candidates supported a library and recreation agreement with the Town of Arnprior.

At the all-candidates meeting on Oct. 2, Mr. Laventure said that "in his 55 years, he has never been in the Arnprior library and is not likely to now with the amount of information online." There was an audible gasp in the audience and the woman next to me said she would never have admitted such a thing.The Arnprior library has a table in the foyer for all candidates in Arnprior and McNab/Braeside to place election campaign literature. It seems that it is convenient and expedient for Mr. Laventure and his campaign team to place his campaign literature on this table. He is using the goodwill of the library for his self-promotion.

Yet he will, if elected, work to end the Arnprior and McNab/Braeside library/ recreation agreement. He can use the library for his purposes and then turn his back on the library if elected mayor. This behaviour is selfish and self-serving.

and earthquakes - a concern that was raised in your article. These facilities are recognized internationally as a safe and appropriate way to dispose of low-level waste, and are being used successfully in Canada and the United States.

The NSDF will not be open to the elements for 50 years. The facility will contain 10 cells, each of which will be filled with lowlevel radioactive waste made up of clothing, contaminated building debris, and contaminated soils. During waste placement, each cell will be capped once it is filled, leading toward the installation of a final cover system.

Water contact will be minimized throughout the entire process, and any precipitation that does contact the waste will be collected and treated to remove contaminants through a dedicated water treatment plant. The NSDF will also be under institutional control for over 300 years, a period during which CNL will regularly monitor and inspect the closed facility to ensure it continues to perform as designed.

Protection of the public, its employees and the local environment is CNL's top priority. The implication that we are ignoring public safety, the health and well-being of the local environment or our strict regulatory requirements in the design and completion of this project is unfounded and inaccurate.

Finally, this project is also subject to a federal governmentled, and very public, environmental assessment process. In order to proceed, CNL requires an environmental assessment decision and authorization from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. Members of the public are welcome to participate in this assessment, and are encouraged to raise any concerns they have through this formal review process.

Readers are also invited to follow CNL's social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news and information on

TO THE EDITOR: RE: MAKE NUCLEAR WASTE SITE OTTAWA VALLEY ELECTION ISSUE: COALITION

Oct. 11, the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide published an article which contained a number of factual errors and inaccurate claims about Canadian Nuclear Laboratories' (CNL) proposed Near Surface Disposal Facility (NSDF) project that must be corrected. First and most importantly, the NSDF is designed to protect the environment, not to harm it. As local residents, CNL employees care deeply about the surrounding area and the Ottawa River, and have a shared interest in responsibly managing and addressing waste on behalf of the Government of Canada.

And we are very good at it.

For over 70 years, Chalk River Laboratories has been a world leader in the development of technologies that have improved public health, clean energy, national security and environmental protection.

Today, the Chalk River Laboratories is undergoing a major transformation, funded through an ongoing federal investment of more than $1.2 billion over 10 years. This involves decommissioning aging buildings and the construction of new, world-class science facilities. Once complete, the transformation will ensure CNL retains its position as a world leader in the development of peaceful and innovative applications of nuclear science and technology.

The NSDF is a key part of this site revitalization plan, allowing CNL to clean up and isolate historic, low-level contamination that is currently present at the Chalk River Laboratories site, and dispose of the waste in a facility designed to withstand extreme events, including flooding

the NSDF and our other important projects, or visit our website at www.cnl.ca.

PAT QUINN DIRECTOR, CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS

CANADIAN NUCLEAR LABORATORIES LET'S COME TOGETHER AND SHOW ARNPRIOR IS A TOWN OF ACCEPTANCE TO THE EDITOR:

An open letter to the citizens and business owners of Arnprior.

It's time we step up as a community.

I am writing this in hopes that you will give this some thought.

It's regarding the LGBTQ+ community in the Town of Arnprior ... they are the ones who aren't talked about at council meetings, the ones who are afraid to tell someone their secret. The ones who are afraid their family will stop loving them, and the ones who are afraid they will be kicked out of their home if their parents ever found out their secret.

It's regarding the ones who are hiding away, the scared and lonely, and the ones who are afraid to be living in Arnprior.

And yes ... they are afraid to be living in Arnprior.

You may think Arnprior is a wonderful place to live but for the LGBTQ+ community it can be scary.

Arnprior is growing fast, and we want people to move here and stay here, we want to be known as a town where we respect all people and are inclusive toward all people. Not just ones who fit nicely into a box.

I'm not directly part of the LGBTQ+ community in this town but my heart aches for the youth I have talked to (which is many) and for all the youth sitting in their rooms feeling alone and scared that someone might find out their secret.

My heart hurts for the adults of the LGBTQ+ community that

are too afraid to hold their partner's hand in public for fear of what may be verbally or physically done to them.

For the seniors who are afraid to go to a retirement home or nursing home for fear they won't be able to stay in the same room with their spouse who they've loved their whole life. For the seniors who feel like they have to go back into the closet when they get to an age where they need extra help. My heart just breaks.

Arnprior as a town is doing good in many ways, but we can do better and I'm asking for help.

We need to look at the unmet needs of this group and start showing the LGBTQ+ that they are supported and have nothing to fear from Arnprior.

I want to challenge the citizens and the businesses of Arnprior: What can you do as a business or citizen of Arnprior to show you're inclusive and to show the LGBTQ+ community that they don't need to be afraid?

What will you do to support the LGBTQ+ youth, adults, and seniors who are living here right now and the ones who are moving here?

If we all come together, Arnprior can and will be known as a town of acceptance, a town where people can be free to be themselves, a town where we love and support one another and a great town to live in!

Domestic Violence Arnprior and Renfrew officers investigated seven domestic disputes during the past week. No criminal offences were alleged. If you or someone you know is living in or involved in an abusive relationship, help is available. Contact Bernadette McCann House 24-7 for support, advice or the safety of a shelter at 1-800267-4930. The Women’s Sexual Assault Centre of Renfrew County is also available 24-7 for information and support at 1-800-6633060. You could also attend the emergency department of any hospital in Renfrew County and ask to speak to a member of the assault response team. Victim Services of Renfrew County is also available to provide emotional and practical assistance to people who have experienced domestic violence. They can be reached at 613-649-2852 or toll free at 1-877-568-5730. In emergencies call 911.

Thefts A boat trailer was stolen from a storage yard on Summerside Lane in McNab/Braeside Township Oct. 10. The boat trailer, a 2010 Hoosier (Pontoon trailer) was black and had Ontario licence F1507W. It was stolen between Sept. 27 and Oct. 10. PC Kayla Couture is

investigating.

Mischief Police are investigating after a candidate running in Whitewater Region Township reported someone attempted to remove election signs on Fletcher Road. It is a criminal offence to damage or remove election signs and can lead to charges of mischief and theft under the Criminal Code. The male suspect in this case was in a silver Honda Civic. The investigation continues.

Fraud The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) scam continues in our area and the scammers have added a new twist to it. The deceptive caller claims to be a police officer, in this case from the Arnprior OPP. The call display showed the correct phone number for the Arnprior OPP, 613-623-3131, which is possible due to a computer program that copies local numbers. The scammer threatened to arrest the victim unless they purchased Google play cards and iTunes gift cards.

The victim was instructed that they had to keep the suspect on the phone the whole time, that if they hung up or advised anyone who or why they were buying the gift cards, then the police would immediately be dispatched to arrest them. The victim lost approximately $2800 in this

scam before the real Arnprior OPP officers were advised and convinced the victim it was a scam. The police do not call and threaten your arrest if you have money owing to the CRA. If someone calls you claiming to be an OPP officer threatening to arrest you, hang up and call the OPP dispatch centre at 1888-310-1122.

Contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre to learn more about frauds and scams, and report all fraud attempts to them toll-free at 1-888-495-8501. October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, and while Canadians continue to fall victim to a number of online scams, the Canadian AntiFraud Centre remains dedicated to assisting in the prevention and fight against cyber crime. This fraud bulletin was prepared to help Canadians recognize, reject and report these scams.

Stunt Driving Charge On Saturday, Oct. 13 at approx. 3:40 p.m., provincial Const. (PC) Jason Golds was conducting a traffic stop on Calabogie Road, with the emergency lights on his fully marked police cruiser. PC Golds observed a black 2017 Honda Civic in the northbound lane, adjacent to the police vehicle travelling northbound. The vehicle was travelling at a high rate of

speed and failed to slow down and move to the left for the stopped emergency vehicle, with emergency lights flashing. The suspect vehicle was stopped a short distance away after radar confirmed the vehicle was travelling in excess of 50 kilometres per hour above the posted speed limit. The driver was identified as Daniel Cinq-Mars, 22, of Ottawa. He was issued two summons to appear in court in Renfrew on Nov. 16 for the offences of stunt driving and failing to slow down and proceed with caution. His licence was suspended for seven days, and his vehicle was impounded for seven days.

Michael Runtz photo The green "island" in this yellow poplar leaf is not only food for the leaf-mining caterpillar living inside the translucent area (at the top of the green) but was caused by it.

ISLANDS OF GREEN IN A WORLD OF COLOUR MICHAEL RUNTZ WRITES ABOUT FALL COLOURS AND CREATURES MICHAEL RUNTZ Column

still present. If you look more closely, at one end of the green island will be a small translucent area. Inside that semi-clear area resides a tiny caterpillar, one that is responsible for the leaf's retention of its green chlorophyll.

The caterpillar is a leaf miner, named for the way it lives inside leaves, eating chlorophyll from between their membranes. Leaf miners release cytokinin (a plant growth hormone) that prevents parts of a leaf from losing their chlorophyll, thereby keeping the caterpillar's food supply intact. The caterpillar continues to dine on green even after the leaf falls to the ground. Here, it will pupate and, next spring, emerge as a tiny moth.

As if the "green island" story was not remarkable enough, it has been discovered that the cytokinin is actually produced by symbiotic bacteria living inside the gut of the leaf-miner caterpillar.

The complexity of nature never fails to astound!

The annual visual extravaganza known as the Fall Colours is now nearing its peak here. Farther north and west, the impressive elevation that holds Algonquin Park closer to heaven (giving its western peaks some of the highest elevations in Ontario) persuades the Fall Colours to be more dramatic and peak one to two weeks earlier than those on display here now.

The annual appearance of colour is as fascinating as it is dramatic. Most of the autumn colour was present in the leaves all summer, hidden by a veil of green. The green is due to chlorophyll, the driver of photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll reacts under the power of sunlight, and through an ensuing chain of reactions involving carbon dioxide and water, glucose the fuel of plant growth - is produced.

By the end of summer, the plants' sugar factories begin slowing down production. Retaining leaves in winter would not be a good thing for deciduous

trees, for with the leaves' large surface area, desiccation and/or freezing of internal water would be inevitable. Also, leaves would hold snow, adding weight to branches that could break under the load. With much smaller leaves (needles) covered in a thick cuticle, and, at least for spruce and fir, a snowshedding shape, coniferous trees are better designed for leaf retention in winter.

Thus, deciduous trees lose their leaves before winter descends on the land. But before they shed them, trees extract as many nutrients as they can from the leaves. When chlorophyll starts breaking down, underlying pigments involved in the photosynthetic process (predominantly carotenoids) become visible. Those pigments provide the brilliant yellow and orange hues that we enjoy in autumn.

Red is different: It is due to the presence of anthocyanin, a pigment produced at summer's end. All of the now-visible pigments help protect the leaves from solar damage as the components of chlorophyll are removed from them. In other words, those pigments act as sunscreens that prolong the life of leaves!

If you examine yellow leaves such as those of poplars in autumn, you'll notice "islands" of green that haven't turned colour, indicating that chlorophyll is

Cobey Errett of the Optimist Club of Arnprior presented a $1,350 check to the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation to support the purchase of a portable suction unit device.

Used to clear the airway of body fluids, Cobey knows all too well the need for such a piece of equipment. His young son had to be rushed to Ottawa for treatment because a portable suction unit was not available at the Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital. Thanks to this donation one of these devices will be purchased.

RENFREW AREA DOG FITNESS EXPERTS TO COMPETE IN WORLD CUP JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Mary Spurrell's business is going to the dogs, and she couldn't be happier.

Spurrell, who with her husband Todd owns Avalon Ranch in Horton just outside Renfrew, has been promoting dog fitness for the past nine years.

They teach five different canine sports at their Lochwinnoch Road training facility.

This year they are taking part in the Dryland World Cup Dog Race just across the border in Bristol, Que. Hosted by Timberland Tours Oct. 26-28, the prestigious event will feature more than 300 teams from all over the world racing on a sandy track.

Racers and their dogs will

compete in scooter, canicross, bikejoring and four-, six- and eightdog rigs for a purse of more than $10,000.

The Spurrells have been involved on the race circuit for the past nine years volunteering, teaching and racing. They wanted to promote fitness programs to get pet owners and their dogs more active.

In that spirit they organized a special canine group called the Ottawa Valley Harness Dogs.

With more than 30 members they take dogs and their handlers out on weekly excursions at different locations in the Valley.

Sponsored by Phat Moose Cycles, Mary will be racing at the World Cup in the Bikejor class with her Belgian Malinois named Feral, while Todd will be

scape still paints a rather one-sided picture. According to the International Labour Organization, women head only 10 to 20% of corporations, which proves that the future we so eagerly hoped for has yet to become a reality. Regrettably,

BUSINESS

WHAT ARE THE KEYS TO SUCCEEDING AS A BUSINESSWOMAN? The appetite for risk, the love for a good challenge, the desire to succeed, the longing to be one's own boss, the appeal of a better balance between work and family life, and, most im-

portantly, the immense passion for one's job - these are the driving factors that are increasingly pushing women to enter the business world. Today, many women enjoy great success

and inspire others to follow in their footsteps. But how do you become an accomplished businesswoman?

Entrepreneurs normally have several essential qualities in common, start-

Dr. Annie Gervais and her team just celebrated their first year in their new clinic at the hospital campus in Renfrew.

Since 1997, Dr Annie has helped people of all ages recover from various injuries: sore back & neck pain, headaches and many other conditions. Her favourite work continues to be with pregnant women and children, but she has treated many patients injured at work, in car accidents, while playing sports, or simply doing tasks around the house/yard. She also incorporates her yoga teacher training in her treatment plan for patients, and finds it to be a great fit with her chiropractic practice. After 20 years, Dr.Annie is proud to say she still “absolutely loves being a chiropractor”.

ing with an unfailing desire to succeed. Self-confidence and leadership are two other important characteristics to have to get ahead in the business world - an industry that is still largely male-dominated. And that's not all! To succeed, women must master the art of organization, sales and networking. But above all, they must dem-

onstrate a high level of creativity.

Furthermore, successful business-women aren't only conscious of their capabilities; they're also aware of their limitations.

In other words, they aren't afraid to delegate tasks that fall beyond their expertise to others. Being an entrepreneur means surrounding yourself with the

right people, specifically trustworthy people whose skillsets contribute to the company's prosperous future. Lastly, it's no secret that the recipe for success includes a lot of hard work.

Successful businesswomen are completely invested in their company and know the value of sacrifice. So, think you have what it takes?

Hailing out of Calabogie, this RCI grad spent over 20 years establishing her business career both in Canada and the UK before returning home to the Ottawa Valley. Over the past few years, she realized her goal of owning her own business when she became the owner of Intravision Ontario Inc. and ontrac Employment Resource Services. “Delivering employment services to the three ontrac communities, Arnprior, Renfrew and Smiths Falls, presents unique challenges in each community”.

Rhonda currently employs 23 highly qualified staff, including some who used ontrac’s services themselves, and contributes to many local charities including the United Way and Sunshine Coach to name a few.

This past September 19, Rhonda and her team at ontrac hosted their 2nd annual Women in Business event in Arnprior with over 120 participants in attendance. “Small business is thriving here in Renfrew County, and ontrac is pleased to be part of this growing community”. This year’s event focused on Business Financials and what it means to Brand a Business. The response to this event is overwhelming, with over 50 attendees offering sponsorship or seminar presentations for 2019. ontrac has also undergone its own branding transformation in the last year, toting a new slogan – WORK. TRAIN. HIRE. GROW. Rhonda believes strongly that searching for and finding your next job is a process that encompasses each of these actions and ontrac delivers several programs to help you achieve this goal.

Rhonda puts the personal lives of her staff ahead of her business and you often hear her saying “family first” in many conversations. She carries in her wallet some quotes that remind her everyday about the importance of treating a staff well; including “If you take care of your employees, they will take care of your customers, and your business will take care of itself”.

NEW DENTAL CLINIC PLANNED ON FROATS STREET IN RENFREW SHERRY HAAIMA sherr y.haaima@metroland.com There will soon be a new addition to Renfrew's growing commercial district.

On Oct. 9, Renfrew council approved a site plan agreement with Drs. Vaughan and Chris Glover for a new, approximately 3,300square-foot dental office near the intersection of O'Brien Road and Froats Street.

The Glovers purchased the property from the town in a deal that closed Oct. 1, explained town planner Ivan Burton.

The Glovers are in the process of taking over the dental practice of Dr. George Rouble. The clinic is now located on Prince Avenue. The Glovers also have a dental centre in Arnprior.

The offer to purchase the .74-acre parcel of land on Froats Street was made in July.

The Glovers paid $120,000.

The property is zoned commercial, which permits the planned dental office, Burton explained.

"This application is submitted subsequent to a minor variance application that was submitted by Mr. Glover in order to reduce the water setback," he said. "Because of the proposed location of the building ... its proximity to the water course, the minimum

WOOD WORKS OF RENFREW

setback is 30 metres, they needed to get closer so that the building would fit on the property."

The request to reduce that to 20 metres was approved by the committee of adjustment in September.

"That application was supported by an environmental assessment conducted by professional engineers, who assessed the impacts by that reduced setback to the water course," said Burton. "They provided recommendations to mitigate the impacts and those will be included as part of the site plan agreement."

The property is located within the environmental protection designation of the official plan, explained Burton.

"There are different natural heritage features and a study has been conducted and mitigation features will be in place for the development," he said. "One mitigation measure to note, and that's one of the reasons we're here tonight to try to expedite the approval of the application and commence the development as soon as possible, is there is a particular type of bird (bobolink) that sort of nests or has habitat in this area and that limits the time of year that the property can be developed."

Between April 15 and July 30, no site alterations can occur, he noted.

"It's the intent of the application to try and get the foundation in now, get it enclosed and build through the winter so that he can open it in spring," said Burton.

Coun. Mike Coulas approved of the overall plan but did note his displeasure with the last-minute timing of the application - which was added to the agenda at about 5:30 p.m. the day of the meeting.

"I know we're pushing time to get this building started," said Coulas. "I've never been a big fan of things added to the agenda

Planning committee member Tom Sidney said he is impressed with the plans he has seen.

"It's going to be a very unique building in that location," he said.

Dr. Vaughan Glover was at the meeting and spoke briefly.

The Ontario transportation minister paid a visit to the Township of McNab/ Braeside to help celebrate the completion of the McLachlan Road reconstruction and rehabilitation project on Oct. 10.

The $1.5 million project included the rehabilitation of about 3.3 kilometres of McLachlan Road and the McLeod Road intersection, which addressed not only

the poor road condition, but also road width and sightlines to improve overall safety.

Construction was completed by Goldie Mohr Ltd. with road design and contract administration provided by Novatech.

The project was supported by a $900,000 grant from the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF), approved by the

former Liberal government.

"Sections of McLachlan Road were more patch than road," said Township Mayor Tom Peckett.

"The OCIF funding we received has made a significant contribution to our long-term roads plan, helping to address the infrastructure funding gaps in our township."

McLachlan Road is be-

tween White Lake and Burnstown.

"Our government understands the importance for rural municipalities to address their infrastructure needs," said transportation minister John Yakabuski, the PC MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.

"We are committed to providing funding for revitalization projects in rural communities, such as

Phone: 613-256-2064 • 1-888-779-8666

McNab/Braeside, to develop and renew their local infrastructure, create jobs and boost economic growth in rural Ontario."

The township is responsible for 198 kilometres of roads with an estimated replacement value of $209 million. Results from the township's 2013 Asset Management Plan has identified a roads funding gap of $21.5 million.

McNab/Braeside was one of 79 applicants receiving support from the province in 2018-19 through the OCIF Top-Up Application Component to build and upgrade local infrastructure.

Ontario is also providing more than 420 communities across the province with stable and predictable annual formula grants under the program.

E-WASTE, BOTTLE DRIVE FOR ARNPRIOR MCNAB RINGETTE OCT. 20

Derek Dunn/Metroland It is Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church's 100th anniversary later this month and the entire town in invited to the celebration. Pastor Clark Young said there will be pizza, cake, fun for the kids and entertainment for all at the Oct. 19 event.

ARNPRIOR INVITED TO CELEBRATE CHURCH'S 100TH ANNIVERSARY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com By the time the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada founder George Chambers left Arnprior in 1918, the denomination's second church was founded.

Known as the branch of Christianity that emphasizes speaking in tongues - inspired by biblical passages in Acts and First Corinthians the original location on Victoria Street would eventually be replaced almost 30 years ago by Glad Tidings on Baskin Drive. And the pastor there, Clark Young, invites everyone in Arnprior and surrounding areas, to the church for a birthday party.

"It should be a lot of fun," Young said. "We try to be really intentional with connecting with the community. We try to build bridges and bring hope and joy to people's lives. This is another way to do that."

The 100th anniversary

23

will see free pizza and cake for all, kids activities and entertainment for every age group at 116 Baskin Dr. W. from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 19. The church is also well known for participating in other events: Glad Tidings enters a large float in the Legion's annual Santa Claus parade, the multi-denominational event that sees free barbecues and yard sales in church parking lots called "The Big Give," the Halloween party at River of Life called "Light up the Night," and The Egg Hunt.

Young said the egg hunt, as with every Glad Tidings event, is not about converting residents to the Christian way of life.

"We don't do a bait and switch after people come inside. We are upfront, egg hunt starts with the Easter story, but we don't see people as a project," Young said. "We'll share if people ask, but we are called on by God to love people."

He said most denominations believe in essentially the same things, just with an emphasis in different areas.

Pentecostals are not focused on the cerebral aspects of Christianity, but how they feel the spirit of God. In other words, along with speaking in tongues, worshipers do a lot of singing and clapping during service.

"We tend to be very expressive and emotive and joyful while experiencing God's presence," Young said of the about 120-member congregation. "It's more than a head thing; it's a heart thing and an intimate relationship with God. Now, we are bit more conservative than others; some Pentecostal churches include dancing as part of their expression. It isn't part of ours."

Canada's first Penticostal church was in Kinburn, which is now the Oasis Church on Kinburn Road.

The movement began in Los Angeles.

IN MEMORIAM

1015.CLR640962

Suddenly at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital in the early morning hours of Thursday, October 11th, 2018; Boyd Kenneth Hogan, a lifelong resident of Arnprior passed away at the age of 75. Dearly loved father of Lisa Desjardins (Cory) and Jason Hogan (Glenn), both of Arnprior. Cherished and proud “Grampa” of Cole, Hailey, Tanner and Noah. Beloved son of the late Kenneth and Gertie (nee Neumann) Hogan. Predeceased by his only sister, Thelma McHugh and 2 nieces: Jill Turpin and Brenda Lee James. Special uncle of Elaine Patrois (Jim). Also survived by many good friends. Boyd enjoyed life. He took over the family dairy herd at the age of 16 due to his father’s failing health. While cows were the family’s mainstay, horses also became a big part of the Hogan farm. Boyd later developed a keen interest in drag racing and later settled into his musical talents while enjoying regular band jams with “The Guys”.

He will be missed by many. Friends may pay their respects during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Thursday, October 18th from 7 to 9 p.m. and again on Friday morning, October 19th from 10-10:45 a.m. A Tribute to Boyd will follow in the Pilon Family Chapel at 11 o’clock. Interment Malloch Road Cemetery, Arnprior. In memory of Boyd, please consider a donation to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

Thank you to all members of the community who returned their donation in the supplied Yellow Envelope. Thank you to local business and official sponsors of the care coach.

The operation of the Para Transit Care Coach relies totally on local fundraising; your financial support is one of the main reasons the Para Transit Care Coach will continue to provide for the residents of Arnprior and the Township of McNab/Braeside, as well surrounding areas.

Your care coach provides a vital service while maintaining independence for those who may not be able to leave their homes in comfort or in a secure manner. Independence is maintained; a human right for all.

The goal of $32,000, which represents the amount only required to cover driver wages.

The total cost to operate our Para Transit Care Coach is as follows: wages: $31,615; fuel: $5,447; communications: $1,348; and maintenance: $1,000.

Total: $39.410.

The department appreciates all donors. This year we would like to highlight the multi-year financial donations of Danny Mac's. In terms of community volunteers, there were

many who came but Donna Read stood out. She arrived at 7 a.m. and stayed until the end of the cleanup at 5 p.m.!

More than 40 students will benefit from this money. We will use it to offset travel costs for festivals and cultural trips, buy some new instruments and order some new repertoire.

Though fundraising is optional in our program, this event is good for morale and team building. Thanks to Metroland for helping make the public aware and passing on our thanks.

At its recent 2018-19 annual general meeting, Two Rivers Musical Productions, Arnprior's very own musical theatre company, made two major announcements: Its new slate of board directors, and the name of the co-directors for its spring 2019 musical production.

This year's board will continue to be chaired by Chris Tonkin, an Arnprior resident, who has been actively involved with Two Rivers productions for several years. Other board directors are former chair Karen Crozier, treasurer Myles Sabourin, secretary Tanya Williamson; publicity Marilyn Campbell; membership Tracey Liebig; per-

formance venues James Hrkach; and director-atlarge Anne Sabourin.

Then came the muchawaited announcement of the co-directors who have been selected for a musical yet to be chosen: Matt Sharpe and Kelsey LaPlante.

Raised in Arnprior, Matt has worked with other community theatre companies both on and offstage and is thrilled to have this opportunity to direct at home. His recent stage experience includes performing in North Bay as "Bert" in Mary Poppins, "Shellhammer" in Miracle on 34th Street, and various other roles through the years.

Kelsey lives in Renfrew.

OPINION

MOTHER'S ATTEMPT AT PRODUCING HOMEMADE SOAP SHORT-LIVED MARY COOK RECALLS HOW SALES DRIED UP AFTER JUST 1 WEEK MARY COOK Column

There was no reason in the world, Mother thought, that she couldn't add a bit more cash to her egg money.

Although it was all called "egg money," it could come from selling drawn chickens, butter or sticky buns, fresh vegetables when our garden was flourishing in the summer time, and of course, eggs.

But fall had settled in, and Mother was anxious to make up for the loss of vegetable sales when she went door to door every Saturday through the streets of Renfrew. And she knew just how she was going to do it too.

Aunt Bertha Thom on our next farm had showed Mother how to make homemade soap, and she could see no reason why she couldn't add these little bars to her peddling door to door.

She was sure the housewives of Renfrew would be delighted. Of course, she had to perfect the soap-making first.

She was new at the job, and we five kids thought Mother needed a lot more practice before she could add homemade soap to her list.

We stayed well away from her when she was putting everything together.

We saw her use Gillett's Lye, which took our breath away if we came within five feet of it, and my sister Audrey was sure she would see smoke coming out of the tin when Mother opened it. Water was boiled, and rendered fat got its way into the mix too.

Mother even bought a fresh lemon and added its juice as well.

As soon as we tried it with our Saturday night bath, we knew Mother had a lot to learn. For some reason, bits of the lye hadn't melted, and we kids ended up with scratches all over our bodies. We begged Mother to let us use the one and only bar of Ivory soap we had on the farm, and was supposed to be used for company. She said the next batch she would make would be vastly improved, and the bar of Ivory was wrapped up and put away, and whether we liked it or not, we had to get used to the homemade lye soap!

Mother was sure the next batch would be better. She said she learned that the water had to be at a rolling boil when poured onto the lye, and she said two lemons were better than one.

Father was sure Mother was losing money on the whole idea. Gillett's Lye wasn't cheap, and buying fresh lemons was a sheer luxury. But Mother said she was sure selling the little bars at 15 cents apiece would more than pay for the money she spent making the soap.

Well, that first Saturday, Mother's customers seemed delighted to have a bar of freshly made soap right off the farm, and it didn't take

long to empty the basket she had packed the soap in. She was so excited, she went right over to Scott's Hardware and bought not one, but two tins of Gillett's Lye! Well, the next Saturday, soap sales slowed down to a crawl. Every customer who had bought the week before complained about the bits and pieces of unmelted lye which left scratch marks all over the user's body.

"We'll still buy your eggs, chickens and buns, but we'll pass on the homemade soap, if you don't mind," was what we heard at every house where we had sold the soap the week before.

Well, much to our relief, Mother gave up on the homemade lye soap. The bar of Ivory came out on Saturday night, sparingly used for our tub baths, and then wrapped and put away for another week. And we were back to the big yellow bar with no name that came from Briscoe's General Store, and which sat in a saucer by the wash basin in the kitchen, used to wash up before we could put a crumb of food in our mouths. The homemade lye soap was never mentioned again.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
