Injuries in another Highway 17 crash

COMMUNITY

A transport truck lies in the Highway 17 ditch, near McCallum Road, west of Arnprior in McNab-Braeside, on the morning of Feb. 6 following a two-vehicle collision around 10:30 the previous night. Police report an eastbound Dodge Calibre entered the opposite lane and struck the westbound truck.

The female passenger in the car was admitted to Renfrew Victoria Hospital, while the male driver, suffering from critical injuries, was airlifted to the Ottawa Hospital. The couple is from Ottawa. For more on the crash and others this week on the highway, see Page 7.

Community – Let’s show John Leslie a little hometown love.

Friends, fans, and supporters will have several opportunities to spend time with the 21-year-old Paralympic snowboarder this Sunday, Feb. 16.

Whether it’s breakfast at The Cupboard, dinner at the Prior Sports Bar, or catching his appearance at the NHL Alumni game at the Nick Smith Centre, there’ll be plenty of chances to support the athlete and wish him well.

Leslie will compete in the Paralympics in Sochi, Russia on March 14 in parasnowboard cross, the first time the event

has been featured at the games.

The Arnprior District High School graduate and Home Hardware employee lost his leg to cancer at age 10, but that hasn’t slowed him down one bit.

He recently won his first three bronze medals in World Cup competition.

He’s got plenty of fans at home, including Sylvia Murdoch, who’s been at the forefront of the efforts to celebrate his accomplishments Feb. 16.

She’s among the group of supporters who have gotten together to make up special posters and organize the events around town. “I’m a big fan of John Leslie’s,” she said.

Connected to your community

Community - Want a sneak peak of the local musical talent that will be on display at Arnprior’s Robert Simpson Park this summer?

Priorpalooza will highlight performers appearing at this year’s Town of Arnprior Sunday Concerts in the Park Series.

Recreation director Glenn Arthur reported to council Jan. 27 about how this year’s event is shaping up.

The day-long music festival was ďŹ rst held last year as a spin-off of a similar event held in 2012 to celebrate the town’s 150th anniversary.

Arthur said he spoken with all

but one of the groups or singers involved and all were on board for the event, which will start at 11 a.m. and run until about 8 p.m. “It’s always local talent we’re promoting,� he said. “Each group will come in and play one set – about 45 minutes to an hour.�

The cost, including payment of performers, sound, advertising and posters, is expected to be about $5,510.

The organizing committee will look at fundraising from sponsorship, grants, vendors and donations.

The balance will be funded through the town’s special events budget and marketing and economic development pro-

grams cost centre.

TWO OPPOSED

And while the proposal was approved, two councillors voted against the idea. “As I understand this I won’t be able to support it,� said Coun. Lynn Grinstead. “It was introduced as an annual music festival that was used to attract and highlight various local music genres and talents.�

Last year’s bill was ďŹ lled through auditions, said Grinstead, who was among the founders of Priorpalooza. “We’re not opening the doors to all of the talents in Arnprior,â€? she said. “It’s totally not at all the same

event. I think we’re narrowing it down and highlighting the same bands year after year. This way you’re limiting it and I can’t support that.�

Reeve Walter Stack also voted against the proposal. “I don’t like the idea of restricting it. I’d hope at some point it’d grow into two days.

I’d at least like to give everybody in town the opportunity to participate,� said Stack.

Arthur, who was tasked with organizing the event last October, said the committee will look at changing the talent format each year. “If you want auditions, I’m going to need more time, I’m going to need more people,� he said.

‘Good luck John Leslie, from your Arnprior fans’ Continued from front

pic journey.

In canvassing for support of the efforts, she met with Slater and another local businessman, Stephen Dodd, who have helped with the campaign.

The signs read ‘Good luck John Leslie, from your Arnprior fans’.

The posters will be available for fans, who can get them autographed at Leslie’s appearances.

At 11 a.m., join Leslie at The Cupboard restaurant in Arnprior for

an autograph and photo session. Kids can get a pancake breakfast for $2, with proceeds going to Leslie. Adult breakfasts will be full price.

At 1:30 p.m. Leslie and his family will be at the Nick Smith Centre for the NHL Alumni game.

At 4 p.m. the young athlete will be the Prior Sports Bar for a meetand-greet.

Donations are being accepted online at johnlesliesbx.wordpress. com/donate-4.

News - Prior co-owner Robin Langford said the establishment is thrilled to be supporting Leslie, with 10 per cent of the Sunday’s food sales going to fund his trip to Sochi, Russia. “It’s a big deal Special John Leslie signs are on sale at Arnprior Home going to the ParaHardware in three sizes - 2x3 for $15, 3x5 for $40 and lympics,� she 4x6 exterior for $100. Posters will also be for sale for said. “And he’s a fans to have autographed. great kid.�

Celebrate Paralympian Feb. 16 in Arnprior on John Leslie Day the example he set was remarkable,� said Reid. “ And when he recovered, Leslie was quick to get out and actively support cancer fundraising in the community.

Town CAO Michael Wildman said the town will be putting up portable signs on some of the key roadways.

The calendar of events on the town’s website includes the listing of events taking place Feb. 16, said Wildman.

Signs are on sale at Arnprior Home Hardware.

Arnprior chamber to host breakfast Organization’s future uncertain, temporary test period possible if council agrees with Hanna, two mayors

BIA meeting attendance falls short

Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – The ‘To be or not to be’ of an Arnprior business group has stretched on as long as Hamlet, Shakespeare’s lengthiest play and meditation on uncertainty. But the curtain isn’t about to fall any time soon.

The latest meeting to decide the fate of the Arnprior downtown business improvement area (BIA) was held Monday morning at the town library. The expectation was that if 25 members didn’t appear in the scene to vote in favour, the group would disband.

Only 22 came out.

Council had decided it needed at least 25 in favour to show there is enough interest in keeping the organization alive. The BIA is struggling to fill board vacancies.

Weeks before the decision to have 25 vote in favour, the town had pegged the minimum at 50. But far fewer showed up a vote at the first meeting, although a snow storm deterred attendance. It was then learned that some members own multiple properties and, therefore, give the appearance of inflated numbers. Hence the lower expectations.

Alas, the failure to attract 25 vot-

BIA members vote in favour of keeping the business group alive at a Monday morning meeting, despite a lack of volunteers on its board and only 22 of the 25 representatives needed showing up. Town staff say council will decide what to do next with a temporary board possible to see if it can work. However, Mayor David Reid said council was clear: if less than 25 voted to keep the BIA it will shut down. ers may not prove the end of the debate this time either.

Those who did showed up to Monday’s meeting were asked to vote on whether they wanted an elected or selected board to keep the BIA going until at least October. They voted for town staff to select the chairperson, vice-chairperson and others.

“It’s a good short period to give it a try,” said marketing and economic development officer Lindsay Wilson, who encouraged volunteers to step forward.

That aside: Will the BIA continue to exist? That is the question.

“Now we will have to bring it to forward to council,” Wilson said. “It was just under. Some (BIA members) said they were unable to make it.”

She also believes some members at the meeting should have been allowed to cast more than one vote, depending on how many businesses they owned.

It is clear both staff and council, or at least Mayor David Reid, want to keep the BIA alive. They say impor-

tant decisions that affect the downtown commercial will be made in the coming years and that if businesses speak with one voice they are better heard at town hall.

But Reid is skeptical the play can go on. He said council held a vote and clearly decided that if the 25 mark wasn’t reached, the BIA would shut down.

“I’m not surprised who’s here. We seem to see the same amount of interest,” Reid said. “The positive thing is that everybody here was in favour.”

News – The Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce is hosting its annual information breakfast with the two local mayors and Arnprior Regional Health CEO Eric Hanna early next week.

Hanna and mayors David Reid of Arnprior and Mary Campbell of McNab-Braeside will speak about what was accomplished in 2013 and what they see coming up this year.

Chamber members and the public are welcome at the breakfast, which will be held Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 7:30 a.m. at the Arnprior Legion.

However, those attending are asked to confirm their attendance by calling the chamber office at 613623-6817 by this Friday, Feb. 14.

HOME SHOW

The chamber has also announced the dates for its inaugural Arnprior Home and Leisure Show.

The three-day event at the Nick Smith Centre will be held May 2 to 4. It will run 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Anyone interested in having a booth in the show should call Gib McMullen at 613-623-5690 or the chamber office.

St. Patrick’s PARADE

News - A MacDonald Street house fire has been deemed accidental and efforts have begun to help the homeowner rebuild.

Arnprior Fire Chief John Okum said the fire started in a factory-built chimney running along the exterior of the home, which was occupied by one male when the fire started.

The man managed to safely escape the fire just after 8 a.m. Feb. 4.

A fundraising campaign has been set up to help homeowner Terry Fabian, who was asleep when he was alerted to the fire when a passerby pounded on his door.

The fire department attended to douse the fire and protect nearby homes. Firefighters also retrieved a pet rabbit from the home.

The fire started outside at the back of the home, moving up the exterior siding and spreading to the attic.

Okum thanked the public for alerting the owner and making the 9-1-1 call.

The fundraiser is to help Fabian rebuild his house and purchase supplies.

Donations can be made at youcaring.com/other/please-help-terry-fabian.

His daughter Kayla is helping organize fundraising efforts.

“Please help raise money in rebuilding my dad’s house, the littlest amounts make a difference,” she said.

The fundraising page urges the public to do what they can.

“Terry unfortunately didn’t have insurance to cover the damage that was caused to his house. He will have to rebuild his house out-ofpocket. The community of Arnprior is a tight-knit one, and it’s my hope that we can come together and help one of our fellow towns folk out in his time of need.”

CHIMNEY FIRE SPREAD

Okum said investigation has revealed the fire in the wood-heated home began as a chimney fire that ignited the house.

It took the department seven minutes to arrive at the fire.

of the building at the rear and on the roof. The single occupant had already evacuated.”

An early estimate of the damage was $150,000, but Okum that number was “really premature.”

The fire travelled up the exterior siding then branched into the eave of the roof and extended across attic space, said Okum.

“There was very heavy fire in the attic space,” he said. “There is considerable structural damage to the roof but no fire damage to lower level. There was, however, extensive water and smoke damage.

Eleven volunteer firefighters attended, said Okum.

“It’s a two-storey house so it involved a lot of ladder work to get to the roof and eave areas. There was an entry team that made entry and fought the fire from the second floor,” he said.

“The 11 volunteers worked really well together and we would like to thank the Renfrew County Paramedic Services for attending for our safety,” said Okum.

He also thanked Arnprior OPP officers, who were also on scene.

Sports - Canadian residents will be able to sample Ontario’s fishing opportunities licence-free this weekend.

There are several ice fishing events planned for this area during the annual free-fishing weekend that runs Feb. 15-17. Included is the Arnprior Fish and Game Club/Arnprior firefighters children’s fish derby on Goodwin’s Bay off McNab Park from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday, Feb. 15.

Other events Saturday include the Castleford and West Carleton Legion ice fishing derbies and the Ottawa Valley Walleye kid’s fishing fun day on Constance Lake. On Sunday, Feb. 16, there will be a kid’s ice fishing derby on Buckham’s Bay. Sponsored by a diverse range of government and non-government organizations, the licence-free periods are designed to remind people of the recreational and economic value of Ontario’s recreational fishery, and the importance of sustaining and enhancing it for future generations.

Truck stop A McLaughlin Transport 18-wheeler slid off the Highway 417 westbound lane, just east of County Road 29 in Arnprior, on Tuesday before 9 a.m. Traffic was rerouted for much of the morning. McLaughlin Transport is located in Haley Station, just west of Renfrew. About 10 a.m. another crash east of Arnprior closed the highway in the Kinburn area for about three hours.

Crash sends two to hospital, closes highway News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A head-on collision last Wednesday night closed Highway 17 in both directions for close to three hours while emergency personnel helped four injured people at the scene.

OPP ofďŹ cers responded to the 10:30 p.m. call when an eastbound Dodge Calibre crossed into the westbound lane west of Arnprior and struck a westbound transport truck with two trailers. The male driver and female passenger of the car were extricated by ďŹ reďŹ ghters at the scene and transported by paramedics to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

The man was then airlifted to Ottawa Hospital where he was listed in critical condition. The driver and passenger in the transport were treated for minor injuries at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

The highway was closed from Goshen Road to Miller Road while the crash scene was cleared of debris.

EDITORIAL

The decade of debacles The Conservative Party of Canada is in a unseemly, lengthy battle with the military, and MP Cheryl Gallant is helping the matter.

The most recent example is when she coldheartedly told soldiers that the stigma of mental illness was all in their heads; that governmentcreated military treatment centres are not to blame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stigma that has to be overcome is a stigma with themselves,â&#x20AC;? Gallant is quoted as saying on Parliament Hill on Jan. 30. This, when she knows full well that a 2012 report by the military ombudsman shows that a negative attitude toward mental illness remains ingrained in military culture. Gallant discourages dealing with the problem with comments like hers.

As she has done throughout her gaffe-filled political career, Gallant tried to blame media.

Too bad for her those words were recorded in the House of Commons.

How to escape taking responsibility this time? Blame Liberals, those entitlement-driven elites who were responsible for the militaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;decade of darknessâ&#x20AC;? in the 1990s?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly worth responding to the empty rhetoric any longer.

Stigma still surrounds mental illness, whether it be teenagers struggling with sexual identity or rugged soldiers dealing with post traumatic stress disorder in Renfrew County. Blaming the victim is usually a sure sign of a bully. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bullyâ&#x20AC;? is a term used to describe Gallantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fellow Conservative MP Julian Fantino, who earned the indignation of veterans recently when he decided to show up late for a meeting to hear concerns over the closure of eight veter-

ans offices across Canada. There is no doubting that his body language in news footage betrays little respect for those he met with.

Indeed, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, does the same when he talks about increasing efficiency by having Service Canada take over work done in veterans offices: Why should veterans be treated any different than other Canadians?

How about: Because they are veterans.

Because they were willing to risk life and limb for their country. Because they were willing to travel to far-flung parts of the world to help those oppressed by militants and, in some cases, governments. That is why they should be treated differently than other Canadians. That is why they should have their own offices.

Before the next election, the 4,000 Canadian Forces members in Renfrew County should take a close look at what Harper, Fantino, Gallant, and the rest of the Conservative party have done for them since the â&#x20AC;&#x153;decade of darkness.â&#x20AC;?

There has been a growing number of suicides by veterans. Planned purchasing of military hardware like helicopters, ships, trucks, planes has been botched. The new procurement process only adds more bureaucracy.

Substandard submarines, Inuit Rangers carrying First World War rifles, jalopy airplanes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where does it end.

Who to blame for the decade of debacles?

The Conservatives should stop blaming the military and the previous government and take concrete, compassionate steps to address problems so apparent to everyone but those who can do something about them.

Heeding petition would not boost taxes significantly To the Editor: Mayor Campbell says she is not sure how to interpret the results of the McNab Residents for Reading and Recreation (MBR4RR) petition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I can say unequivocally that it has nothing to do with tax increases.

The people who signed the petition know this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps if the mayor had paid more attention to it in the first place she would know this too.

MBR4RR finds it rather insulting that the mayor is trying to use our petition for her political purposes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially so when the results are being manipulated.

The mayor showed little to no interest in the petition when it was presented to council and yet now wishes to use it as a tool to suit her purposes.

This is yet another case of the mayor misrepresenting the facts - the

facts are that the Town of Arnprior presented an offer to the Township of McNab-Braeside to extend the transfer agreement at the 2013 rate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in other words a zero per cent change from 2013 to 2014. How this equates to a 6-7 per cent increase in the mind of the Mayor is beyond us.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another fact that is being ignored â&#x20AC;&#x201C; over 2,200 people signed our petition stating that they would like to see our two municipalities continue with a transfer agreement for reading and recreation services.

Despite this overwhelming support, the voice of the constituents is being dismissed and the mayor is developing complicated and convoluted scenarios that the people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want.

Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the mayor and council end this stubbornness and accept that the people have a different opinion on this issue than they do?

The damage that they have caused is already being felt by the users of these services â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it costs us $15 to use the library ($60 if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to the township office during regular business hours) and swimming fees are up 50 per cent.

Further the associations representing, ringette, figure skating, girls hockey, minor hockey and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey have either asked their members for additional money to make it through the year, or are absorbing additional costs out of already tight budgets.

It is not too late for our council to make this right. The question remains - will they?

Drunken sailor comment ridiculous To the Editor: At the Jan. 27 town council meeting I made the following points and for whatever reasons the local media have chosen not to cover my comments on the matter.

A few weeks back Mr. Doug Smith was quoted in the paper making the following accusations: 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one on the old council supported big box stores.â&#x20AC;? To be reasonable I will call this an untruth!

I personally supported the Smart Centre Project and publicly championed for its approval, even to the point of moving a motion of council to approve the recommendation of the town planner - which was to approve the project. That motion was not even seconded by another member of council.

So yes, there is room for fact about who supported it or not - but his statement is untrue.

Mr. Smith was also quoted saying: 2. This council â&#x20AC;&#x153;spends like drunken sailors.â&#x20AC;?

This is to my mind an absolutely a ridiculous statement and slanderous! This council was elected on the direction to make change - which we did.

One such change was the restructuring of senior staff in the corporation. Through that process we hired very well educated, experienced, professional and motivated individuals and this is certainly true of the finance department.

Council makes spending decisions based on information and reports put forward by staff.

Analysis show bees in danger of die-offs To the Editor: This is further to the article â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Insecticide linked to mass die-off of bees (Nov. 7, 2013) and my letters to the editor of Nov.14 and Dec. 19, 2013.

The Ontario Beekeepers Association recently reported â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ontario bees are in unprecedented peril due to the pervasive use of neonicotinoid (neonics) pesticides. In the last two years alone, Ontario has seen a 35 per cent decline in honey bees.â&#x20AC;?

Buried in this number is the alarming increase in bee mortality in 2013 over that of 2012, a 38 per cent increase.

The future does not look good for the honey bee industry in Canada, particularly if one looks into the scientific analysis of neonics.

According to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Significanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; publication of The Royal Statistical Society (June 2013) of the United Kingdom, neonicotinoid family of chemicals (which includes imidacloprid and clothianidin) are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, meaning they bind to and block open nerve receptors in the insect brain, causing paralysis and death.

Most neonics are toxic to insects in minute quantities. One gram of clothianidin, not much more than a salt sachet, is enough to deliver an LD50 (letha1 dose to 50 per cent of individuals) to 250 million honeybees.â&#x20AC;?

Beekeepers are witnessing the mass die-off of their honeybees; the beesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to navigate is impaired, affecting communications and foraging. Bees that manage to return to their hive bring the toxins into the hive â&#x20AC;&#x153;contaminating the queen, wax and brood creating a slow and fatal decline of the colony.â&#x20AC;?

It is frightening to see 20,000 bees twitching/suffering a slow death at the hive entrance.

There are many other detrimental findings (not solely to bees but to soil, water and the ecology) documented in this Significance publication and reported in the OBA website www. ontario.com/neonics.

However, due to the limit of space, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hope to address some of these concerns in future.

Russ Corbett Arnprior

Let us all be honest and respectful So such statements of the kind Mr. Smith made are damaging to both their personal and professional reputations. This team of professionals has reviewed the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial situation and has: â&#x20AC;˘ reviewed and developed policies and procedures; â&#x20AC;˘ cleaned up three year-end audits in one year; â&#x20AC;˘ collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in arrears - that tax dollars had to cover for; â&#x20AC;˘ successfully acquired hundreds of thousands of grant dollars.

So, the offhanded comments such as spending like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;drunken sailorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is an absolute untruth.

I said at council that any further such comments need to be reviewed by the town's solicitor and appropriate action taken.

So â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yes, election season is open in Arnprior.

So, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be factual. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be honest and truthful. Let's be mature and respectful and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be courteous, as we are all neighbours.

Feeders attract birds of a different nature Lifestyle - Recently I wrote about the pros and cons of feeding birds.

I received a number of emails from readers (thank you) about their feeder birds, as well as other aspects of that topic, including the risk of birds flying into windows. Situating feeders at some distance from windows and placing visual repellents such as hawk silhouettes or plastic UVreflecting spider webs on the glass reduces that risk.

Another aspect of feeding birds can be exciting for both the birds and their watchers.

Several hawks are attracted to groups of birds, especially those at feeders. Except for size and a few other features, Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Sharp-shinned hawks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; collectively known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bird hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; - look very similar.

Bird hawks are beautifully designed predators. Relatively short, rounded wings and long tails allow their owners to fly between trees and make swift aerial manoeuvres. Long legs bear strong toes equipped with curved, sharp claws, which are the killing tools.

When a bird hawk captures a prey, it stands atop it and squeezes its talons into a vital organ. Then its meathook bill goes into action, plucking feathers until flesh is reached.

The long legs allow the hawk to keep its body away from the flailing claws and bills of struggling prey.

When I was young, both hawks were much less common than they are today.

Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hawks, the larger of the two, were rare. Today that species commonly visits backyards.

While smaller birds are taken, Mourning Doves and Rock Pigeons are favourites of Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hawks.

It is natural to feel sympathy for the victim and many people find the sight of hawks killing other birds upsetting. But think of it from the hawkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective. It works very hard to attain a meal and may not have eaten for days.

It first had to locate a prey, then use surprise and explosive speed to capture it.

Oft times the prey escapes, leaving the hawk even hungrier after expending a lot of energy in its efforts. All animals over-reproduce and predation is an important and natural means of population control.

Hawks are beautiful examples of lethal perfection. Their huge eyes are binoculars, magnifying objects two to three times. Two retinal pits in each eye contain more than a million sensory cells per square mm.

One allows hawks to peripherally scan their environment with enhanced vision, while the other allows them to visually lock onto their prey during the chase.

A hawk uses only beak and claw to immobilize and dissect meals, which are cap-

Michael Runtz Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way tured at high speeds. Accidents occasionally occur, and a hawk that flies into a tree or impales its wing on a broken branch dies a slow and painful death.

These dynamic birds are often only a meal ahead of starvation. They deserve our admiration, not contempt.

Northern Shrikes also visit backyards in winter, typically impaling prey on thorns or other sharp objects before they dine. These jay-sized, predatory songbirds possess weak feet so, unlike hawks, they do not possess â&#x20AC;&#x153;claws for concern!â&#x20AC;?

One less maternity ward in the Valley as RVH unit to close Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

News - Renfrew is joining Arnprior in no longer having a hospital with a maternity ward.

It was announced last week that the obstetrics unit at Renfrew Victoria Hospital will close at the end of June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve listened. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard. We support,â&#x20AC;? said Admaston-Bromley Mayor RayeAnne Briscoe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the lone elected official to speak at a public meeting Feb. 5 in the hospital cafeteria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serve a need that is not there,â&#x20AC;? the mayor said, expressing confidence that the hospital will â&#x20AC;&#x153;turn this challenge into an opportunity.â&#x20AC;?

While the obstetrics units will close, a multi-million announcement later this month will speak to the expansion of other services at the hospital.

RVH will still be capable of responding to emergency deliveries, but medical staff will work with mothers-to-be to refer them to obstetric services in Pembroke, Almonte

and Ottawa. Arnprior hospital has not had a maternity ward for many years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the right decision,â&#x20AC;?

RVH president and CEO Randy Penney told the gathering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As one door closes another one opens,â&#x20AC;? he added, in reference to reallocating funds to other medical needs in the community.

Six jobs will be directly affected by the obstetrics closure and Penney said the hospital will work with its unions to address any human resources issues.

REASONS

An aging population, declining demand for obstetrics, high litigation rates and a shortage of obstetricians were among the factors that forced the closure that was announced to hospital staff Feb. 4.

RVH chief of staff Dr. Steve Radke explained the recommendation from the medical advisory committee to the board of directors and displayed two graphs to illustrate the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aging population

and significant decline in local demand for obstetrics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t specific to Renfrew,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Radke, noting how obstetrics in rural areas have not been sustainable for years.

Despite the challenges of this expensive, high-risk field of medicine, RVH has â&#x20AC;&#x153;been hanging on for some time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is indeed a difficult decision,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Radke said, calling it unfortunate for the hospital but â&#x20AC;&#x153;best for the patients in the long run.â&#x20AC;?

Dr. Stephanie Langlois underscored the realities behind the closure and reiterated local physician commitment to quality care. A question-andanswer period drew only one inquiry. Asked whether an increase in young families and injection of manufacturing jobs might bring the unit back, Penney said the influx of one or two businesses would not have enough impact to reverse the decision.

Dr. Langlois described any hope of the unit reopening down the road as â&#x20AC;&#x153;unrealistic.â&#x20AC;?

LCBO stores collect funds for March of Dimes News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This month the public can help support March of Dimes Canada by making a donation at LCBO stores throughout Ontario.

Donation boxes will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters, including the one in Arnprior, until March 1. The group enhances the independence and community participation of people with physical disabilities through a

Search is on for sexiest men in the Ottawa Valley Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Community – A couple of local women have come up with an idea to heat things up during this cold Canadian winter.

An Ottawa Valley Sexiest Men Calendar contest is underway, thanks to Angela Sacavage-Yach and photographer Shannon Peters.

The project will not only highlight some of the Valley’s hottest guys, it’s a fundraiser for two deserving area charities, explains Peters.

“Calendars will be sold in the community

and proceeds from them will be donated to the Arnprior District Food Bank and Ride for Dad,” she said.

The public can submit entries on Facebook at ‘Ottawa & Valley Sexiest Men Calendar Contest’ or by email to OVSEXIESTMENCONTEST@HOTMAIL.COM Deadline for submissions is Sunday, Feb. 23.

Contest entries will be judged on a open voting basis following the close of nominations.

The top 12 men at the end of the voting period will meet with Peters at Arnprior’s Lilycreek Photography Studio, where they will be

photographed for the calendar.

The contest is meant to be fun and to help with funds for the community, say organizers.

The photo shoot will be professionally done and calendar pictures will be approved by winners before publication.

Submissions are to be made by email or by posting a photo and information in the submissions album only.

All submissions must be 18 years of age or older. If there is doubt to the age of the submission, organizers may ask to see identification.

Nominators must have contact information

for the person they are submitting.

If they are a finalist, organizers need to be able to contact them for permission to be in the calendar. Organizers will not be held responsible for submissions who were not contacted before submission into the contest.

All submissions must include the following: name, occupation, age, town/city, contact information, who is submitting the photo (i.e. wife, girlfriend, etc), a few short words detailing who the entry is (hobbies, interests, interesting facts, etc.) and a recent picture with permission to use on Facebook.

Opinion - Sunday, Feb. 9 marked 50 years to the day since The Beatles, the most popular rock band in history, made their first North American television appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

In conjunction with the Grammy Awards, CBS Television in the United States celebrated the occasion by airing a two-hour special entitled ‘The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute To The Beatles’ Sunday night.

It wasn’t only the United States that was impacted by The Beatles first televised performance on this side of the Atlantic. Millions of Canadians were also glued to their TVs on that long ago Sunday. Variety shows were big on television at the time and Ed Sullivan’s New York Citybased program was equally popular in Canada.

In early 1964 I was approaching my teens and rock and roll music had already made a big impression on me.

Not surprisingly I was parked squarely in front of the black and white TV in the living room of our home in Stittsville. I will never forget The

Beatles performance.

Neither will my parents!

Before writing this column, I asked my mother about her memories of that particular night. She remembers it mainly because I was so excited.

Mom still says the quartet with mop haircuts weren’t her cup of tea. In fact she thought – hoped probably – The Beatles would be just another musical flash in the pan. I think it is fair to say most parents at the time couldn’t relate to why their children were so enthralled.Fifty years and billions upon billions of dollars later the verdict is clear. The Beatles weren’t a flash in the pan! Their albums are still front and centre in most music stores and that has never been more true than during the leadup to the 50th anniversary of their arrival on this continent.

On the Saturday morning after that memorable first Ed Sullivan appearance by the Liverpool, England foursome, I nearly ran to MacDougall’s appliance and furniture store on Stittsville’s main street.

The store had a tiny record section and like most local entrepreneurs the MacDougall’s were smart enough to cash in on a good thing. They had a

selection of 45 rpm (single) records released by The Beatles on the Capitol Canada label.

I purchased ‘She Loves You’ one of the seemingly endless string of hit singles the band released during their short but stellar career. By the way the song on the flip side (B side) is ‘I’ll Get You’.

Later that year I retraced my steps, purchasing my first Beatles’ album ‘A Hard Day’s Night,’ the soundtrack from the motion picture of the same name which was the group’s introduction to the big screen.

Fifty years later I am still buying Beatles’ music. During the Boxing Day sales I added two more of their albums to my collection of compact discs. Vinyl records are wonderful keepsakes but CDs are the ticket these days.

I’m among untold millions of people who are still lining up to buy Beatles’ music.

Little wonder surviving band members Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr and the heirs to the fortunes of the late John Lennon and George Harrison continue to rake in the money.

For them the well appears to be bottomless.

After all these years Beatles music, merchandise still popular

STAND APART

The Beatles, however, stand apart. Obviously two of their members are deceased, although that has never been an impediment to bands such as the Stones and The Who. The Beatles music and popularity have stood the test of time. Quite a remarkable feat considering they stopped touring nearly 48 years ago.

Beatles’ fans among my readers have probably already seen and heard numerous stories about the 50th anniversary of their first Ed Sullivan appearance as well as the show Feb. 11 in Washington, D.C. where the group’s initial public concert in the United States (at the Coliseum in the American capital) was re-enacted.

Fifty years after they invaded North America, there are a number of interesting Canadian tidbits about The Beatles.

John, Paul, George and Ringo were un-

doubtedly among the most popular performers in the history of the Ed Sullivan Show (originally called ‘Toast of the Town’) which ran from Sunday, June 20, 1948 until Sunday, June 6, 1971. But who was Sullivan’s most frequent guest performers during his 23-year run?

The answer, the Canadian comedy team of Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster. They appeared on the program a record 67 times.

The Beatles were a hit in Canada a year earlier than in the U.S. Due to the efforts of Paul White, a young Englishman who headed Capitol Records Canada’s new artist and repertoire department, four of their early songs were released in Canada in 1963.

‘LOVE ME DO’

The U.S. version of the same album, entitled ‘Meet The Beatles’, wasn’t released until Jan. 20, 1964, almost two months after Beatlemania had infected Canadian pop fans.

Another interesting note during this 50th anniversary relates to Smiths Falls. At one point in 1964 The Beatles held a lock on Billboard’s Top 5. Yes, five of their songs topped the charts at one time, something which is unprecedented. Capitol couldn’t keep up with the demand for their records. So they signed a deal with the former RCA Victor plant in Smiths Falls to press Beatles’ discs. The local firm worked around the clock to fill back orders from across Canada.

The Beatles only gave five live performances in this country. They visited Vancouver, To-

Their single ‘Love Me Do’ was introduced here in February `63. It sold fewer than 200 copies. White persisted, releasing their next two British singles ‘Please, Please Me’ and ‘From Me to You.’ Those tunes didn’t do well here either.

However, in September 1963 the aforementioned She Loves You was released in Canada and, as they say today, it went viral. By late December the catchy tune had jumped to No. 1 on the CHUM radio hit parade in Toronto.

Rock music fans in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario were also primed for the first visit by The Beatles to this continent. Sandy Gardiner, a reporter who covered the pop music scene for the now defunct Ottawa Journal newspaper, was the first writer in North America to use the term “Beatlemania” in a story printed in early November 1963.

Two weeks later Capitol Records of Canada released the band’s first album which, fittingly, was called ‘Beatlemania! With The Beatles.’

The release here came just three days after the same record debuted in Britain, triggering panic buying by rabid fans there. In the UK the album was titled ‘With The Beatles’.

On the front cover of the Canadian version Gardiner’s Ottawa newspaper comments are the first of four glowing reviews about The Beatles. The album cover reads, “The newspapers say a new disease is sweeping through Britain and doctors are powerless to stop it …

It’s Beatlemania! This Liverpool group plays to packed houses wherever they go.”

In the process Gardiner ensured Ottawa has a small place in Beatles’ history.

ronto and Montreal (in that order) during a late summer tour in 1964. The group played one show in front of 20,261 fans at Empire Stadium in Vancouver on Saturday, Aug. 22, 1964.

On Monday, Sept. 7 they appeared twice in one evening at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, thrilling a total of 35,522 people. The next day (Sept. 8) they played two more shows at The Forum in Montreal. Those performances were witnessed by 21,000 “Beatle-maniacs.”

The Beatles are such a remarkable story.

They are easily the most popular rock band in history and one of the most influential. Their commercial success continues unabated. Little wonder the 50th anniversary of their first appearance in North America is generating so much interest!

R0012553302

I know people who don’t like The Beatles, of course. But the reality is their music is superior to most of what is out there and half a century after they took North America by storm the proof is in the pudding.

Beatles’ music isn’t only saleable, it remains extremely popular. So too does virtually anything associated with the band. The string of related products on the market is mind boggling and, thanks to skilful marketing, the list is growing. New recordings (of old material), re-releases (all 13 of the group’s American albums were reissued last month), games, videos – you name it. That’s not to mention the fact Beatles’ songs became available on the Internet relatively recently. Imagine the money they will make there!

By 1966 the Beatles had performed more than 1,400 live concerts, released 15 No. 1 singles, recorded seven albums and had toured the world four times.

Incredibly, at the very height of their popularity and without warning, the foursome pulled the plug. They would never tour again.

Their last live performance together was on Jan. 30, 1969 when they played on the rooftop of the Apple Records building at 3 Savile Row, London.

Other `60s British bands, notably The Rolling Stones, continue to perform live, cashing in on the huge nostalgia market.

NHL Alumni team to play in Arnprior Sunday for Special Olympics Birmingham Bulls.

Walter Gretzky (coach) Gretzky’s zest for life, love of sports and status as hockey’s most famous father makes him an ideal ambassador for the sport.

Dave Hutchison (referee) The game official was one of the toughest defenseman the NHL has ever seen. Drafted 36th overall in the 1972 NHL, draft he piled up 1,735 penalty minutes in 584 career games while playing with Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto and New Jersey.

Mark Laforest (goalie) A junior standout in the OHL with the Niagara Falls Flyers, Laforest signed with the Detroit Red Wings in 1980. After a stop in Philadelphia, he moved on to split goaltending duties in Toronto with Allan Bester and Jeff Reese.

Marty McSorley The versatile player, who played both as a defenseman and winger, is a two-time Stanley Cup winner with the Edmonton Oilers. He is probably best known as Wayne Gretzky’s bodyguard, a role that followed him to LA in 1988 when both he and the Great One were traded to the Kings.

His toughness his evident by his more than 3,300 penalty minutes in a 961game career His life in LA was not limited to hockey as he appeared in the movies Con Air, Forgetting Paris and Bad Boys alongside Will Smith.

Dan Daoust A hard-nosed winger and Leaf fan favourite, he was named to the NHL All-Rookie team in 1983 when he finished with 51 points in 48 games.

He played in 522 games, of which all but four were with the Toronto Maple Leafs, a large accomplishment given his small stature.

Brent Gretzky The brother of Wayne and Keith Gretzky, he played in the NHL for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Mike Pelyk A great mix of talent that could dish out tough defense and chip in with timely offense, his career year came in 1973-74 when he led all Maple Leaf defensemen with 12 goals.

He enjoyed seven successful seasons in Toronto.

Matthew Barnaby The Ottawa-born player and television commentator, Barnaby was a fourth-round selection of the Buffalo Sabres in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft.

In his first full season in the NHL, Barnaby led the league with 335 minutes in penalties. After a run of almost five seasons in Buffalo, Barnaby spent time in Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, New York, Colorado, Chicago and Dallas.

Kraig Nienhuis A graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), he scored 16 goals for the Boston Bruins as a rookie in 1985-86. These days he is the front man for the band 9 House, who have opened for such famous rockers as ZZ Top, Nickelback and the Beach Boys.

Bill Derlago Taken with the fourth draft choice by the Vancouver Canucks, he was voted by the Hockey News as the number one player to ever come from the WHL ahead of greats like Scott Niedermayer, Jarome Iginla and Joe Sakic. He was dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 1980 season where in five seasons he posted 30plus goal seasons four times.

Rick Vaive A prototypical sniper with a feared shot, he had three consecutive seasons of 50-plus goals, including having the distinction of being the first Toronto Maple Leaf to do so. He was selected to the All Star games from in 1982 through to 1984. Over the span of his career, he scored 441 goals in 876 games.

Laurie Boschman He was the Ottawa Senators’ first captain on their return to the NHL in the last of his 14 seasons in the league. He also played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets and New Jersey Devils. He was drafted ninth overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1979 NHL Entry Draft. He is one of only 16 players in NHL history to have recorded 500-plus points and 2,000plus penalty minutes.

Dennis Maruk A Red Tilson award winner as the OHL’s MVP, he was taken 21st

overall by the California Seals in the 1975 NHL draft. His career got off to a hot start, as he scored more than 30 goals twice in his first three seasons in the league. After being dealt to the Washington Capitals, Maruk scored 50 goals during the 1980-81 season

and then an incredible 60 the following year. His 60-goal total with the Capitals was a record that stood until Alexander Ovechkin came along and potted 65. Maruk finished his career with Minnesota, retiring after the 1988-89 season.

Sports – Rick Vaive, Bill Derlago, Dennis Maruk, Matthew Barnaby and Marty McSorley are among the former National Hockey League stars coming to Arnprior this Sunday, Feb. 16 to play a charity game against local police officers.

The NHL Alumni Tour, presented

by Scotiabank, is touring Ontario to raise money for Special Olympics through this special Law Enforcement Torch Run event.

The Arnprior game, set for 2 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre, will have a special local exciting element to it, as the town’s own paralympian John Leslie will be on hand and Arnprior Special Olympian Lindsay Trafford will drop the ceremonial first puck.

The NHL Alumni team’s guest coach and special ambassador will be Wayne Gretzky’s father, Walter.

Gretzky and the players, including several Stanley Cup winners and even some hall-of-famers, will meet with fans, shake hands and sign autographs, with the doors opening at 1 p.m., an hour before the game.

“We are very excited to showcase an exhibition game with Arnprior’s local heroes from the Law Enforcement All-Star team,” said NHL Alumni executive director Mark Napier, a former Montreal Canadiens star who is travels with the team.

“We cherish the chance to get together as alumni to play with old friends and promote the game of hockey across Ontario, all while raising money for a great cause.”

The former NHLers promise an exciting blend of hockey and fun at the event. In addition to the game, fans will be treated to a skills competition featuring the world-class players and some “hilarious” on-ice practical jokes.

Face of Fostering We were married and close to retirement when we started fostering.

Throughout the years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown as a couple, as individuals and as foster parents. Providing foster care to children and youth is a very rewarding experience. We are given opportunities to learn from others, to learn of their strengths and values and to offer support when possible.

We see families change and we see their relationships develop. Since our debut 17 years ago, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to learn the real purpose of our role as foster parents; to help families stay together.

Jaegar Prot of ADHS dribbles up the court. Below, Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brody Flegal reaches for the ball.

Because of people like Angela and Patrick, children and youth of our community are able to receive temporary care while the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aid Society of Ottawa works with the natural parent(s) to improve home conditions.

Packers hanging on to second in Valley Division as season winds down Sean Marcellus

Sports - A busy week saw the Packers defeat first-place Renfrew 3-0 Feb. 5 before falling to them two nights later 6-2, then losing a tough 5-4 game against Perth Sunday.

The Packers currently sit at 19-18-2-0 which has them in second place (based on more wins than Almonte) in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Valley Division with just two games left to play.

Packers 3 Renfrew 0 Three first-period goals would be all the Packers would need as Patrick McGrath, Damian Armstrong, and Chris Marchand all

found the back of the Renfrew net in the opening frame. Arnprior goaltender Erik Miksik stopped all 38 shots Renfrew threw his way on way to his conference-leading 18th victory of the season.

Packers 2 Renfrew 6 Things would not go as smoothly last Friday evening, as Renfrew swarmed the Packers net all game and, although the score was as close as 3-2 late in the second period, the Timberwolves took over in the third period to defeat the Packers 6-2. Arnprior received goals from James Prebble and Damian Armstrong, Erik Miksik stopped 45 of 50 Renfrew shots in the loss. The Wolves have clinched first place in

the Valley Division.

Packers 4 Perth 5 Although Arnprior took an early 1-0 lead, it would be short-lived and be the only advantage the Packers would hold all game as Perth ended up scoring with just over one minute remaining to defeat Arnprior 5-4. Perth, in a desperate fight with Stittsville and Shawville to make the playoffs, scored three power-play goals and added one short-handed. The win kept their playoff hopes alive.

The Packers got goals from Kurtis Keohane, Isaac Perreault, Jake Gaudet and Patrick McGrath, while Miksik stopped 35 shots.

The Packers were scheduled to take on the

Stittsville Royals Wednesday (after press deadline). For a detailed game recap and boxscore, check out the Packers official website or Twitter feed @PriorPackersJrB. SEASON FINALE Arnprior Packers vs. Shawville Pontiacs – Friday, Feb. 14 at 8 p.m., Nick Smith Centre.

The Packers haven’t officially clinched a playoff spot yet, but will do so unless Stittsville, Shawville or Perth, who all have games in hand on Arnprior, go on a hot streak this week. The playoffs are expected to begin in the middle of next week, with the Packers most likely to play Almonte, starting at home if they finish second and on the road if they end up in third.

Anas, Ryan MacKenzie, Tyler Klinkenberg, Jack Thompson, Sam Pianosi, Porter Robertson, Nathanial Leduc, Keeton McGrath, Sam Dunn, Matteo Nixon, Connor Naismith, Peter Anas, Jake Pianosi and John Robertson.

Sports - With a regular season record of 183-3 the Arnprior Atom Packers finished in first place in their division with 39 points.

The first-place finish earns them a bye in the first round of the playoffs. The coaching staff will use the time to prepare the team for its second-round series that will start Saturday, Feb. 22.

A strong all-around team effort game-in and

game-out are credited for the successful season. While the talented forward group scored a league-leading 119 goals, the shutdown defensive core and goaltenders keep the team in every game, only letting in 48 goals throughout the 24-game season “Congratulation to all the players for their great team work and best of luck in the playoffs,” say Arnprior Minor Hockey officials.

WINTER CARNIVAL

Business Directory

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 13, 2014

Driving away the winter blahs in Braeside The Braeside R.A. Centre was abuzz with activity Saturday as the community held its annual winter carnival. Left, magician Chris Pilsworth entertains and amazes the crowd with his rope and other tricks. Right, Kaylie Badham paints a pattern on the face of 3-year-old Olivia Marinelli. Badham and Debbie Laventure again provided the facepainting at the carnival.

Other activities included a shanty breakfast, free sleigh rides, kid’s games, a euchre tournament and, below, the Wildcat Classic hockey tournament.

Magician Chris Pilsworth magically persuaded McNab-Braeside recreation director Geoff Patterson and some of Braeside finest dancers on stage at the carnival to act out a rousing rendition of YMCA to the amusement of all. The winter carnival season continues Saturday, Feb. 22 with both White Lake and Horton holding their salutes to winter.

It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it. Rod Vallier, Catherine Mayoh and Aldene Styles, the judges for the Braeside Carnival men’s cake contest, load up before sampling the entries. The winner was Dan LeBlanc’s carrot cake with Brandon Muldoon’s second, Howie LeBrun’s third and Matt Campbell’s fourth. The cakes were then auctioned off with proceeds going to the carnival.

John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Lifestyle – The Cupboard and the Quality Inn in Arnprior have received certificates of appreciation from the Canadian Red Cross for the assistance it provided to victims of an Arnprior house fire a year ago.

Lisa Falls and Katherine Miller-Gatenby, who are Arnprior-based Red Cross personal disaster assistance volunteers, visited the two businesses recently to make the presentations.

Both businesses helped the Red Cross provide help for the seven residents who lost their homes and belongings when a fire on Dec. 14, 2012 destroyed several apartments in a McGonigal Street home owned by the late Ken Scissons.

The Cupboard remained open late that day, serving coffee and providing a place for Red Cross officials to meet with the tenants to discuss their needs.

The Quality Inn provided rooms temporarily for those left homeless by the fire.

Manager Gail Manson, who accepted the award, said she was pleased to be able to help,

especially as Scissons had lent a hand to so many people in need over the years.

“And he was a really nice person,” she added.

The certificate thanked the businesses for partnering with the Canadian Red Cross to provide services to persons experiencing a disaster.

The personal disaster assistance program assists individuals and families in need of shelter, food and clothing for the first 72 hours after a disaster.

Falls noted that in Arnprior much of that material was acquired at the Giant Tiger store.

Several other businesses, including Sears and the John St. Pub, rallied around Scissons and the fire victims.

The Renfrew County unit of the Canadian Red Cross can be reached at 1-613-787-2686 if needed to help in a disaster affecting one or more families.

Falls said the unit welcomes the addition of more volunteers willing to help during a disaster.

Red Cross officials are happy to make presentations on the program (call 613-735-1157).

Mother’s laundry ‘pinchers’ took on another use for Emerson Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

ishing touches to supper.

Father and the three brothers came in from the barns and the milking, and washed up at the bench near the back door. We all took our places at the old pine table, and after Grace was said by Father, and before anyone could dig in to the mounds of food, Mother commented that she couldn’t find the wood tongs, which was the term she used.

Father called them pinchers, but he knew what she meant, and that was all that was important.

“Must be out in the summer kitchen,” he said. Mother assured him a thorough search had been made of both the summer kitchen and the wood shed. “Gone ... just plain gone,” she said.

“I know where they are,” Earl said, giving a sidelong glance towards Emerson.

Emerson started to squirm and asked Everett to pass the potatoes.

Earl continued. “They’re out on the chopping block behind the silo.”

Everything stopped dead ... just like a Hoppalong Cassidy movie reel that had broken down once in the O’Brien theatre in Renfrew.

“Ouch,” Earl yelled, and we all knew Emerson had given him a good kick under the table.

“Whatever are the laundry tongs doing

out on the chopping block,” Mother asked, her voice rising to a high pitch.

The chopping block was where the chickens met their doom and it was also where the fish the boys caught by ice-fishing in the Bonnechere were cleaned. Everett was usually the one who performed the dastardly deed, because even though Emerson was rambunctious and full of spunk, he could never bring himself to working the chopping block.

The same went for cleaning fish. In fact, he loved to fish, summer or winter, but Everett or Earl always had to bait the line for him! He didn’t want a thing to do with a live fish from the time the line went in the water, until it was served on a dinner plate!

And when the fish sat in a pail of water beside the chopping block ready to be cleaned, Emerson wouldn’t even touch one to take it out of the pail and hand it to Everett. That is, until he figured Mother’s laundry tongs would do just fine. He could grab a fish, slap it on the block, and Everett could do the rest.

It didn’t take all day to figure out why the tongs were out at the chopping block!

There wasn’t much talk around the supper table that Sunday night. Emerson got up from the table, put on his heavy coat, hat and boots, and headed for the silo.

When he brought the tongs back into the kitchen, Mother already had a granite pail of water boiling on the front of the stove.

The tongs were put into it, with a goodly dose of vinegar. She swore the clothes would smell of fish for at least a month of washings. And there the tongs sat, boiling away until bedtime.

No one ever knew if Emerson ever got over his aversion to touching uncooked fish, but we all knew he never went near the tongs again. Mother made sure of that.

Every Sunday night after that, and even

before filling the tub with water or gathering up the whites, she got the tongs out of the summer kitchen, slapped them on a chair by the stove, and her look dared anyone to lay a finger on them.

R0012548519

Lifestyle - Mother had searched the summer kitchen and the wood shed. She couldn’t find it anywhere.

And it was Sunday night, and she was getting ready for the Monday morning wash. The big copper tub was sitting on the back of the Findlay Oval full of water at the ready.

Into this tub Mother would put all the white clothes that had to be washed. They would soak all night, with the hope that she wouldn’t have to use as much javel water on them in the morning.

Heaven forbid that the whites wouldn’t be sparkling when put on the clothes line for the entire world to see!

Mother liked to have everything set when she was ready to tackle what would turn out to be an all-day job. That meant the copper tub was full of whites on the stove, the rest of the laundry was sorted into heaps on the kitchen floor, and the homemade soap cut into slivers and sitting in a pie plate.

And, of course, the long wood ‘pinchers’ used to take the boiled whites out of the tub, and put them into the square laundry tub, ready for scrubbing on the washboard, would be sitting on a chair too.

They looked exactly like the tweezers Aunt Lizzie used to pull out stray eyebrows when she came from Regina to visit, only these were about two feet long, made of wood held together at one end with a bolt, and strong enough that Mother could easily grab a goodly portion of white clothes out of the tub without touching the hot water.

Well, the ‘pinchers’ were nowhere to be found!

It was just before supper, and Mother sent me back out to the wood shed and the summer kitchen to have another look.

I even looked behind the sauerkraut barrel.

No sign of the ‘pinchers’. “Well, they have to be somewhere,” she said, putting the fin-

Local author brings Arctic history to life John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Valley author Season Osborne has a passion for Canadian history.

She feels many more Canadians would be similarly enthralled if high school curriculums included the stories that make history so intriguing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People say history is boring because it is all about memorizing dates in school,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the stories that make history interesting.â&#x20AC;?

So Osborne, who was raised in Burnstown, is trying to do her part in bringing to light a fascinating but little-known chapter of Canadian history by telling the explorersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stories. The dramatic tales make up her latest book, In the Shadow of the Pole: An Early History of Arctic Expeditions, 18711912. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a history thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been very much neglected,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they are stories that Canadians should know â&#x20AC;Ś they are important.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a timely read what with the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new-found interest in the Arctic and sovereignty issues there, she noted.

Osborne, who lives in Ottawa and is a publications ofďŹ cer at the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, will be talking about and signing copies of her book, published by Dundurn Press, at the Arnprior Book Shop this Saturday, Feb. 15 from noon to 2 p.m.

Osborne is well-known in Renfrew County, having lived on and off in Renfrew and written several articles for local papers.

She authored 32 biographies of noteworthy Renfrew County citizens for Legacy - Portraits of a Generation (Pappin Communications, 1999).

Her ďŹ ction short story â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Prize-Winning Cucumberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, appeared in Draw Up a Chair: A Treasury of Renfrew County Storytelling (General Store Publishing House, 2002).

Her ďŹ rst full-length book was 50 Years on the Edge: A History of the Pembroke Figure Skating Club, 1952-2002 (Custom Printers, 2002).

Osborne has also contributed to Canadian Geographic, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s History Magazine (formerly The Beaver), and the RCMPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pony Express and Gazette magazines.

Her interest in the Arctic was sparked by visits there when she worked as editor for Above & Beyond, First Airâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s In-ďŹ&#x201A;ight magazine. When earning her Masters of Journalism from Carleton University in 2003, her thesis focused on little-known Capt. Joseph-ElzĂŠar Bernierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to Arctic

J.E. BERNIER COLLECTION, LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES CANADA

One of the many archival photographs in Season Osborneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book captures Capt.

Joseph-ElzĂŠar Bernier making a sweeping proclamation at Parryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rock on Melville Island on Dominion Day, 1909, claiming the entire Arctic archipelago for Canada. exploration in the late 1800s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He claimed the whole Arctic for Canada â&#x20AC;Ś but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never heard of him,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Her thesis and strong feeling that Canadians are missing out by not knowing about the exploits of Bernier and others like him led to her writing of In the Shadow of the Pole.

In her research for the book, she spent three years scouring archival material, old newspapers, original expedition reports and explorersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ďŹ rsthand accounts. She found

that Bernier was only one of a number of intrepid men who led northern expeditions for the Canadian government, which was trying to determine if it was feasible to ship grain via Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay. Her book, which includes a number of impressive archival photographs, details the sacriďŹ ces of the early explorers, who lived under great hardships to ensure Canada had a presence in the Arctic.

She says the story of the setting up of eight posts of three men each to live along isolated Hudson Strait in 16 by 20 feet huts was particularly amazing. The men, all under 30 and unmarried, signed up for a year of adventure in the name of science. They were paid $35 a month, with an additional $4 per week as board money during the voyage.

Their primary object was to determine for what period of the year the Straits were navigable, but the men also had plenty of time to study the wildlife and ďŹ&#x201A;ora of the Arctic.

Osborne talked to a family whose grandfather was one of those early Arctic pioneers. But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to talk to others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is more to these stories than could be found at the archives and in old newspapers,â&#x20AC;? she notes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can contribute any details about these expeditions, you will be helping to ďŹ ll in a piece of our Canadian history.â&#x20AC;?

If people are aware of anyone in their family who may have been involved in some capacity on one of these expeditions or heard stories passed down from family or friends, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to hear from you,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There could be a follow-up (book),â&#x20AC;? she noted.

As for now, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get In the Shadow of the Pole in libraries and schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think high school kids would ďŹ nd these stories fascinating.â&#x20AC;?

The Children’s Universe Daycare on McLachlin Street in Arnprior held a special Chinese New Year’s celebration last Friday to welcome the Year of the Horse. The daycare followed that up with an open house Saturday. The daycare has plenty to celebrate, having received its licence last fall and opened its spacious premises on Nov. 1. The daycare accepts children three months to 10 years old. The New Year’s festivities included traditional Chinese music and dancing, tai chi demonstrations, and the serving of special Chinese snacks. Above left, young Vincent Bertrand gets into the spirit, as Zhou, Zhaohua, left, shows him and the daycare’s director Grace Guo some tai chi moves. Left, daycare worker Brooke McWhirter shares some Chinese delicacies with youngsters Sophia Depatie and Chase Lewis.

NUTRITION

Connected to your community

Ian Harris RNT

Weight management, wellness and nutrition

Opinion – So you’re out doing errands and decide to stop for a quick meal. Where do you go and what do you eat?

Interesting question. For the most part restaurants prepare meals that are appealing to our taste buds and overlook any aspects of nutritional value.

In order for restaurants to appeal to our senses, three ingredients, sodium, fat and sugar must be present and usually in amounts much higher than should be consumed.

For example, two slices of deluxe pizza (tomato sauce, topped with Italian sausage, pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, green peppers and mozzarella cheese) contains more calories, fat, saturated fat, sodium and protein than should be consumed in one meal.

The amount of sodium equals to one days worth in just one meal and the amount of protein is three times the recommended daily amount.

High-protein diets restrict carbohydrate intake so much that they can result in nutritional deficiencies or insufficient fiber, which can cause health problems such as constipation and diverticulitis.

Our bodies store very little protein and certain organs are responsible for getting rid of the protein namely the kidneys and liver. The more protein we eat, the harder the kidneys and liver have to work to excrete the protein. The result of overuse of these organs is obvious, premature wear and tear. Excess protein makes the body more acidic, and these acids accumulate in the joints causing arthritis and gout.

Animal protein is hard to digest, so it is hard on the digestive system causing digestive problems. Animal protein is strongly associated with heart disease and is also associated with many

kinds of cancers, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer and pancreatic cancer. So what is a good choice when out and about! First of all, stay away from anything that is fried, breaded and processed (luncheon meats).

Ever wonder why you fall asleep after a heavy lunch? It’s partly due to high amounts protein and an excessive amount of calories.

Sandwiches or subs are a great choice. Paired with whole wheat bread and mustard instead of mayo, lean meats like roast chicken, turkey or pork, lots of veggies and Swiss cheese are good choices. Stay away from orange cheddar.

Although high in sodium, chicken, salmon or soy burgers paired with a green salad topped with oil and vinegar would also be a good choice. Be careful with roasted chicken breasts, since some are made with flour to allow each one to be uniformly shaped, not a good choice for those who are gluten intolerant. By the way, those grill marks are most likely stamped on.

Little trick, always drink a glass of water 15 minutes prior to a meal. This will stop you from eating in excess.

Keep fruits like oranges, tangerines and clementines and vegetables like carrots and celery or a handful of almonds with you, so when you’re in-between meals and finding your blood sugar dropping, you will have a healthy choice to help you get to your next meal.

Getting set for the big day

Couples should discuss debt; make a plan

The third annual bridal show at the Renfrew Armouries Feb. 2 was a great success, say organizers. Above, hosts Cheryl Roesler-Kargus, left, of Simple and Pretty Cakes and Christina Ouellet of the Flower Factory, greet visitors at the entrance of the Renfrew Amouries, which is decorated with gowns from Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Simply Beautiful Bridal Boutique. Left, Sarah Robertson, owner of Prior Engagements of Arnprior, is among the vendors showcased at the bridal show. A bridal supplement is included in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition of the Chronicle-Guide.

Lifestyle - Four in 10 Canadian marriages begin in debt, and the new family starts off with an average of $21,503 in the red on their wedding day, according to a recent Hoyes Michalos/Harris/Decima poll.

Almost half (47 per cent) of younger respondents (aged 25 to 34) brought debt into their relationship, and those aged 45 to 54 started their relationship with the highest level of debt of any age group at an average of $19,488 per partner. Current students brought in the highest debts ($35,045). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scary that before starting a new life together many Canadians are already burdened with debt,â&#x20AC;? says Douglas Hoyes, a bankruptcy trustee with Hoyes, Michalos & Associates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can you buy a house, start a family and live the Canadian dream when you are already in debt?â&#x20AC;? he asks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of greatest concern is the apparent lack of communications,â&#x20AC;? says Ted Michalos, a bankruptcy trustee with the company.

More than 1 in 3 (36 per cent) said they did not discuss their debt with their spouse prior to getting married. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discuss your debt you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a plan to deal with it,â&#x20AC;? he adds.

The treatment of soldiers and veterans has been receiving some additional attention lately. I am pleased to correct the record when it comes to the decision to expand the services provided to veterans by merging eight under-used veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affairs offices with Service Canada and its 650 points of service across Canada.

There will be no local change of service. Renfrew-NipissingPembroke will continue to be served by offices in Pembroke and Petawawa, in addition to any Service Canada locations.

I also encourage any soldier or veteran to contact my office if they need help in any way.

We are going from approximately fifty (50) points of service across the country to 650 Points of service. In the eight (8) district offices that are merging with Service Canada, that Service Canada Office will have an experienced Veterans Affairs officer who will work alongside a trained Service Canada employee. Across Canada, of the 8 offices being merged, 5 are in the same building, 2 are within one kilometre, and one is 4 km away. Some of the district offices being merged were seeing 3 clients a day. For seriously injured veterans who are unable to drive, we will send a registered nurse or case manager to their home along with cutting grass, removing snow, cleaning their homes.

Significant investment has been made by the Canadian Armed Forces to ensure that our military members receive the highest standard of mental health care possible. Since 2006, the Canadian Armed Forces health care investment has increased, bringing our expenses in health care close to $420 million each year. There are no budget cuts when it comes to caring for our military.

In 2012, the government announced an additional $11.4-million investment, to enhance the armed forces mental health care system specifically. This brings the total amount of annual mental health investment for military members to $50 million. These investments translate to approximately 400 mental health professionals dedicated to our men and women in uniform, and we are currently working on bringing in additional qualified applicants to fill the spaces available.

One of the challenges of having a military base in rural Ontario is the shortage of health care professionals for the entire population. Even though the federal Conservative government has struggled to find mental health care professionals for Base Petawawa, we have successfully staffed five doctors for a base population of 6,000 soldiers; compare that to one psychiatrist for a local civilian population of 100,000 people. We have five doctors for the military population of 6,000 and one for the remaining 100,000 people in the civilian population. Is there a health care crisis in Renfrew County? Yes. Is the federal government trying to deal with the provincial shortage? Yes. As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is eliminating the long gun registry, promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you! As always, if you have any concerns of a federal nature, or just want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

The good news is that 6 in 10 (61 per cent) of Canadians have paid off their original pre-relationship debt, but almost half (46 per cent) have admitted to adding new debt (not including a mortgage) since being married.

Those who did not discuss their debts prior to getting married were more likely to have only added to their debts.

Tips for dealing with pre-marital debt: â&#x20AC;˘ discuss your debts and your repayment plan before marriage; â&#x20AC;˘ prepare a family budget; â&#x20AC;˘ postpone major purchases (and perhaps a family) until after debts are under control; â&#x20AC;˘ consider carefully before cosigning on your spouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-marital debts; â&#x20AC;˘ donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open a joint bank account at the same bank where one spouse owes any debt; â&#x20AC;˘ discuss any decision to take on new debt together; â&#x20AC;˘ consider a pre-nuptial agreement to protect any assets in the event of a marital breakdown.

Galilee to host launch of Called to Egypt Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

Lifestyle - Grey Sister Anne Kathleen McLaughlin is launching her third book on Valentine’s Day in Arnprior.

Called to Egypt on the Back of the Wind is what McLaughlin calls creative non-fiction, after she and colleagues visited Egypt in 2008 with revered Oregon teacher Jean Houston.

“Her basic thrust is human development and the immense capacity that we have, that is largely underdeveloped but

so needed for this time,” says McLaughlin.

The trip was all about connecting with the mythology, history and spirituality of the Egyptian people in ancient times.

This is McLaughlin’s third book. Her first was the 2001 romantic mystery, A Place Called Morning, about an Ontario teacher’s connections with aboriginal students. Her second book, published in 2006, was Planted in the Sky, which takes the reader on a spiritual journey through the

News from the PPL Lifestyle - Non-fiction is fascinating.

There has been an amazing selection of nonfiction materials added to the Pakenham Library collection. Feel welcome to browse the shelves and choose your favourite.

A few of the many new highlights this week include: RRSPs by Gordon Pape – The ultimate wealth builder – non-fiction; The Smart Girl’s Guide to Going Vegetar-

eyes of the innkeeper’s daughter at the inn where Jesus was born.

All three books, says McLaughlin, are about connecting with God. This book evolved with the support from a group of seven authors in the RenfrewArnprior area. The launch of Called to Egypt on the Back of the Wind runs this Friday, Feb. 14 from 2:30 to 4 p.m., in the velvet room at the Galilee Centre in Arnprior. The book is published by Borealis Press of Ottawa.

Arnprior teams to compete in Destination Imagination New program to this area challenges students’ creativity News - The first-ever Eastern Ontario Regional Tournament for the increasingly popular Destination Imagination program will be held in the area Saturday, March 1.

At least two Arnprior teams of students are registered for the competition to be based out of Renfrew Collegiate Institute.

About 150 students and about another 150 adults (volunteers, teachers and family members) will participate in the event.

Destination Imagination (DI) is a non-profit program that helps kids around the world discover their creativity.

While relatively new to this area, it is an active program in 30 countries around the world.

Teams of five to seven students use science, engineering, improv, technology, performance and community outreach themes as they tackle one of seven team challenges.

Teams must do the research and experimentation needed to solve every aspect of the team challenge and develop a performance-based presentation demonstrating the team’s solution, with no outside as-

sistance.

About 25 teams will present their Team Challenges March 1.

They will receive feedback and scoring on their challenges and will have the ability, depending on scoring, to proceed to the Ontario provincial tournament and perhaps even the global tournament in Knoxville in May. Last year (the first year of the program in this region), a team of Grade 5-6 students from Palmer Rapids School placed first in the provincial tournament and went to the global tournament and came third.

CHANGING LIVES

Ottawa’s Doug Hunter, regional director of Destination Imagination for Eastern Ontario, noted the principal at that school would say that those students’ lives will never be the same – their confidence has ballooned and their prospects of what they can achieve in life have expanded significantly.

“I am passionate about the importance of creativity and critical thinking skills for this generation of students – Cana-

da’s future depends on it,” said Hunter.

“We have been losing our manufacturing base (as has been seen in Renfrew County) and while our resource base is still strong, we need to become more innovative and the key to that is raising a new generation who will become those innovators.

“Innovation is also the key to the future of Renfrew County.”

GLOBAL PROGRAM

Hunter, who recently retired from IBM after 30 years, decided to get involved with Destination Imagination 18 months ago when he found out that there were no schools anywhere in Eastern Ontario utilizing “this fantastic global program.”

Now the Ottawa Catholic, Renfrew County public and Renfrew County Catholic school boards are all engaged in pilots with Destination Imagination.

The Limestone Board in Kingston is in planning mode for participation next year.

PETS

In loving memory of

Before humans die they write their last Will & Testament. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is (Rescue from the Arnprior Humane Society) what I’d ask…

To a poor and lonely stray I’d give: My happy home My bowl & cozy bed, soft pillows and all my toys The lap, which I loved so much The hand that stroked my fur & the sweet voice which spoke my name I’d will to the sad, scared shelter dog, the place I had in my human’s loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds.

So when I die, please do not say, “I will never have a pet again, for the loss and pain is more than I can stand” Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope and give MY place to HIM/ HER. This is the only thing I can give….

The love I left behind.

Forever in our hearts Pat, Dorit & Sean

We would like to express our heartfelt “ Thank You ! “ for all the kindness you have shown us on Bill’s passing.

You lifted our hearts at Bill’s personal remembrance with your presence. Bill loved flowers and the room was full of many beautiful bouquets from you.

Through your kindness, we received many, many heart lifting cards and donations to charitable organizations.

Your personal touches, encouraging words, loving hugs, phone calls and visits showed your kindness at this sorrowful time in our lives.

Bill would have been so proud to know you were there, dear friends, family and Legionnaires.
