First-degree murder is the upgraded charge a man faces after a collision claimed the life of an Arnprior woman over a month ago.

OPP issued a press release saying Zachary Wittke, 20, of Eganville faces the murder charge after a Sept. 25 mid-afternoon chase from McNab/ Braeside to Daniel Street ended when his stolen truck struck a car.

Sheila Welsh, 65, of Arnprior died on scene after pulling out of her driveway to pick up her grandchildren from school.

“OPP officers from the Renfrew detachment under the direction of Detective Inspector Rob Hagerman of the Criminal Investigation Branch are continuing to investigate the events that led to the fatal collision,” reads the release.

Community supports mourning families, Renfrew Timberwolves TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves and the entire community are grieving after a deadly collision on Friday, Oct. 27 on Calabogie Road.

Police believe alcohol contributed to the crash that killed Brandon Thomas Hanniman and Alexander (Alex) Paquette, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said in a release on Monday afternoon.

All four of the 18-year-old men involved in the crash were members of the Renfrew Timberwolves of the Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey League.

On Oct. 30 OPP confirmed new details in the Oct. 27 fatal crash on Calabogie Road.

The crash has a far-reaching effect and many in Arnprior and the surrounding area have expressed support for the families and the team.

On Twitter the Arnprior Packers sent out thoughts and prayers to the families and friends of the Timberwolves.

Before the Packers defeated the Char-Lan Rebels on Sunday night, both teams formed a unity circle at centre ice and in a tweet teams said “(We) come together in support of the family and friends of the Renfrew Timberwolves. #WolfPackStrong.

Former Packers coach Tony Iob is-

“One patient was brought to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital helipad and airlifted by Ornge to the trauma centre,” he said.

He spoke to the gravity of the incident.

“It’s certainly an enormous tragedy for our community and a loss to the community and the families of the victims,” said Nolan. “Certainly, the paramedics’ thoughts and prayers go out to all the people involved, including the victims.”

Police, paramedics and firefighters from McNab/Braeside Township responded to the scene. Two OPP technical collision investigators are assisting with this investigation, which is being led by the Ontario Coroner’s Office.

Officers would like anyone who may have information on this investigation to contact them, including anyone who may have seen or spoken to the four earlier in the evening. Please call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

OPG to increase safety measures near Arnprior weir DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is considering ways to make its Arnprior weir safer for the public.

The provincially owned crown corporation appeared before town councillors at an Oct. 23 meeting. Representatives Scott Gagnon and Frank Trzebiatowski called it the “start of a dialogue” with local legislators on how to increase safety give the prospect of greater tourism and a growing population.

Public messaging, warning signage, guardrails, the yellow boom above the weir: all are measures currently in place near the hydro generating station. But the weir is such a danger – due to the “washing machine effect” when water hits the bottom – that more efforts are needed, Gagnon said. Especially if climate change leads to wetter springs.

“This spring saw historic flows causing larger

turbulence. Recirculating currents at the bottom of the weir can be hazardous if you are trapped in it,” Gagnon said. “Public safety is a top priority for OPG. We’re looking for additional safety around the weir.”

He called it a tourism point of interest with more foot traffic, fishing and boating in the area.

There is some speculation in the community of a second boom going in below the weir, but OPG hasn’t made any decisions. It wants to collaborate with the town to find solutions, council was told.

A security truck has been stationed at Daniel McLachlin Park, along Albert Street, for several months. It was in response to a message from the public that young people were jumping off the concrete wall.

The security guard has made observations and interactions, Gagnon said, which will go into future safety strategies. Of note was boats going too close to the weir.

Reeve Walter Stack said the weir is “part of

Hens & Chicks to revisit neon era DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

A wildly popular charity fundraiser could still use more help in the lead up to the Nov. 4 event.

Hens & Chicks, the annual women’s dinner and dance party at Nick Smith Centre, sold out when it comes to tickets. But organizers would appreciate more donations to the raffle table.

“We would like to invite you to join us in building better childhoods for the children who need organizations like KidSport,” said Maija Hirsimaki, committee member. “KidSport is a national not-for-profit organization that provides financial assistance for registration fees and equipment.”

Filled with donations from local businesses, the raffle table was worth $10,000 last year.

“We have been actively visiting local businesses in both Renfrew and Arnprior and have again been met with much support,” Hirsimaki said.

“We feature these businesses on a sponsorship wall at the event and recognize them also through our social media efforts.”

Organizers of the annual Hens & Chicks dance party at Nick Smith Centre include Calley Mosley, Janyne Fraser, Leah Clifford, Maija Hirsimaki, and Megan Stashick. More

the showcase” of town. He wouldn’t want it to become an eyesore, but does appreciate that safety comes first.

He said he also heard the message that OPG wants to consult with the town before any new measures are put in place.

Afterward, OPG communications officer Jennifer Gardiner was asked about safety measures at the trestle. Kids have long been know to jump from the railway bridge over the Madawaska River.

She said OPG doesn’t own the trestle, and

that the section of river between the hydro station and weir is a “grey area” when it comes to who is responsible for safety.

The most dangerous area, according to OPG and town officials, remains the weir. According to councillors and staff, safety measures have been taken at the trestle – no trespassing signs, fencing, even police response – but if people are motivated to jump, they’ll find a way through.

“We do our best,” said CAO Michael Wildman.

“But I think the weir is more dangerous.”

NOTICE OF COUNCIL’S INTENTION TO PASS AN AMENDING BY-LAW TO REMOVE A HOLDING SYMBOL CALLAHAN SUBDIVISION - PHASE 2 TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Town of Arnprior intends to pass a By-law under Section 36 of the Planning Act, RSO 1990, to remove the holding provisions from the lands zoned for the development of a Plan of Subdivision known as the Callahan Subdivision, being Part of Lots 5, Concession B, as shown on the attached key plan, from Residential One – Exception Twenty-Seven - holding (R1-E27-h), Residential Three - holding (R3-h), Residential Three – Exception Fourteen – holding (R3-E14-h), Residential Three – Exception Fifteen – holding (R3-E15-h), Residential Three – Exception Twenty – holding (R3-E20-h) and Open Space One – holding (OS1-h) to Residential One – Exception Twenty-Seven (R1-E27), Residential Three (R3), Residential Three – Exception Fourteen (R3-E14), Residential Three – Exception Fifteen (R3-E15), Residential Three – Exception Twenty (R3-E20) and Open Space One (OS1).

The annual poppy presentation took place at Arnprior Town Hall on Oct. 26. Xavier Brooks, left, is with Deputy Mayor Tom Burnette during the ceremony. The campaign raises money for veterans and their families. Poppies are distributed freely, but donations are appreciated. Look for them at various locations throughout town.

Royal Canadian Legion uses poppy funds for veterans The Royal Canadian Legion a non-profit organization assuming the responsibility of maintaining the tradition of Remembrance for those who paid the supreme sacrifice, defending our great nation, in past and present conflicts, that we, as Canadians, may enjoy the freedoms, we have today.

The Legion continues to support veterans with many benefits, thanks to thousands of our dedicated volunteer members at all levels of the organization.

Maintaining the tradition of Remembrance is a sacred trust and the Legion’s most important role. Legion Remembrance programs commemorate all service men and women who have died in the service of Canada during war and peace.

The poppy has been widely recognized as a symbol of Remembrance, since it was first adopted in 1921. By wearing the poppy, we show our appreciation for those who gave their lives, and demonstrate our gratitude to those who survived, for the freedom we enjoy, as Canadians.

Each year, Legions throughout Ontario conduct the Poppy Campaign from the last Friday in October to Remembrance Day, Nov. 11. The campaign raises awareness of the poppy as a symbol of Remembrance.

The basic purpose of the poppy fund is to as-

sist ex-service personnel in need or in distress.

This may include food, shelter or medical attention for Veterans and/or their dependents.

Funds raised during the Poppy Campaign are also used for the following: • Comforts for veterans in hospital • Legion Service Bureau • Medical Appliances • Medical Research • Medical Training • Donations for Disaster Relief (declared by Federal and Provincial Governments) • Educational Bursaries • Remembrance Day Poster and Literary (Poem and Essay) Contests.

Any ex-service personnel or their dependent is eligible to apply for financial aid from Poppy Trust Funds, whether a Legion member or not.

Poppy Trust Funds are placed in trust to be used for those purposes authorized in the general bylaws of The Royal Canadian Legion. Campaign expenses are minimal through the efforts of our valued volunteers.

We will remember them!

Wittke faces several charges Continued from page 1

“Responding OPP officers had observed the suspect vehicle on Highway 17 travelling eastbound in the area of Calabogie Road. Shortly after, the suspect vehicle was involved in a collision on Daniel Street in Arnprior. The male suspect was apprehended and arrested at the scene.”

Wittke’s initial charges remain: • Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death;

• Flight while being pursued by police; • Driving while disqualified; • Theft of a motor vehicle over $5,000.

His next court appearance is set for Nov. 1, at the Ontario Court of Justice in Pembroke.

Singers to fundraise at Krave performances DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Barnyard Halloween

Arnprior siblings Bruno Di Diodato, 3, and his sister Jean, 18 months, enjoyed costumed capers as a spider and Nemo the fish during the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum’s Barnyard Halloween festivities on Oct. 28. The fun included a costume parade, pumpkin decorating, a spooky barn, creepy crafts and Halloween games.

A fundraising showcase featuring several area up-and-coming performers takes place in Arnprior.

Five students from More Than A Song Studios in Braeside will sing at Krave Bistro to raise money for the Arnprior and District Food Bank. They are Halle Rafter, Katya Beresnikow, Marlayna Griffin, Madison McFarlane, and Rowan Raymond-Cardiff. Each will sing three or four contemporary songs.

“I really like music and singing,” Halle said.

Singing instructor Danah-Lee Krieger, who has taught and been involved in the local music scene for decades, is impressed with young female talent in particular. She teaches at three town primary schools and witnesses the emerging talent. With how-to videos and a little guidance, kids at younger ages are picking up skills more quickly. And gaining confidence to perform in public that much faster, too, she added.

Katya agrees, summing up her feelings with a simple, “Singing is a lot of fun!”

Marlayna enjoys what performing does for her.

“It’s good to express yourself and sing with other people,” she said.

Krieger welcomes all music lovers and food bank supporters to the Nov. 30 event, starting at 6 p.m.

“People should come and watch these guys because they are awesome,” Krieger said.

“And there’s a real need at the food bank, obviously. At Christmastime in particular.”

Arnprior Regional Health one of first to reach silver Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) has once again achieved a significant milestone in the Healthy Foods in Hospitals initiative. ARH has been awarded the silver designation and are one of the first hospitals in our region to reach this impressive milestone!

The silver level builds on the tangible changes made at bronze and includes progressive standards such as; expanding the provision of calorie and sodium information at point-ofpurchase, reducing processed meats, and phasing out sugary beverages.

Sites are also introducing new and delicious meals and snacks, which emphasize whole grains, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds — mainstays of healthy eating.

“Please accept our heartfelt congratulations on your recent achievement of silver level status for the Healthy Foods in Champlain Hospitals initiative.

“We want to recognize your ongoing commitment to this important program and acknowledge that Arnprior Regional Health is among the first of the Champlain hospitals to achieve this significant milestone,”

said Chantale LeClerc, CEO Champlain LHIN. The Healthy Foods in Hospital Initiative began as a collective of 20 hospitals, demonstrating significant leadership in this area, both within the province of Ontario and beyond.

The Champlain LHIN continues to be a strong supporter of our work, and the Champlain CVD Prevention Network (CCPN) remains committed to reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease in our region, through priority programs such as Healthy Foods.

Reaching the silver benchmark is a clear reflection of ARH’s commitment to investing in the long-term health of staff, physicians, volunteers, and the hospital community at large.

In particular, the success of this program is due to the commitment and hard work of the staff in the food services department.

Implementing the successful changes across the hospital’s retail food outlets was led by food services manager Christina Carnegie, with the support of the ARH Auxiliary’s president Bernice O’Connor.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Nothing veiled in Bill 62 Quebec’s Bill 62 barring those who choose to cover their face from receiving public services is, as Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson has written to Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard, an infringement of the fundamental Charter Right of freedom of individuals to express their religion in the manner they choose and discriminates against women who choose to express that freedom. But the mayor is being nice. It is much more than that – it is racism and bigotry, wrapped up in a false claim it is being done for public safety reasons. There is absolutely no evidence that covering one’s face in any way is a precursor of violent behaviour.

We are somewhat disappointed in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s rather weak response to this discriminatory action by the Quebec government. He should be coming out forcefully and unequivocally against this law as he has a responsibility to defend Canadian values and to battle so-called “values” politics like this wherever it might raise its ugly head.

This is not something to play politics with, worrying about winning or losing votes in Quebec. Rather, this is something that goes to the very core of our Canadian beliefs and must be opposed as strongly and firmly as possible. There is just no place in Canada for such feelings of racism, bigotry and discrimination against women.

It is even more important to quash this racism and bigotry in its tracks right now, not only because of this new law in Que-

bec but in light of the new Statistics Canada data about Canada’s population. The data shows that Canada is more diverse than ever, with 22 per cent of Canadians now identifying themselves as part of a visible minority.

In addition, the indigenous population is growing rapidly and more and more immigrants are arriving in Canada, coming from countries like China and India rather than traditional northern European nations.

These trends are going to continue, with Statistics Canada estimating that by the year 2036, visible minorities will represent more than 35 per cent of Canada’s population. This will require all those in society to be tolerant, welcoming and accepting of such rapid change.

These are all traits Canadians as a whole accept today as evidenced by the recent outpouring of support for Syrian refugee families. Indeed, Prime Minister Trudeau has often remarked on this openness and tolerance of Canadians.

In such a scenario and facing such a future, there is no room for the racism and bigotry that is evidenced by Quebec’s law barring public services to those who cover their faces due to their belief system.

That’s why such pandering to society’s base racist instincts must be stopped now.

This is a cut-and-dried issue – there is no gray area here. You either believe in fairness, equity and tolerance or you don’t.

There is no place for a law like Quebec’s Bill 62.

Thanks to MP Cheryl Gallant for continued work To the editor:

My sympathies go to the author of ‘Local MP Cheryl Gallant should be constructive, not destructive’ (Renfrew Mercury Nov. 26) because the MP has gone out of her way to help small businesses understand the proposed changes.

Unfortunately, it appears that the author was not a part of the MP’s September town hall.

Not only did the MP arm herself with a few expert tax professionals who told it as it is (and without fear tactics), but also she gave attendees whatever help they may have needed to oppose the proposals if they wished to.

Hopefully these opposers are on their way to being successful in having some major tax proposals revised.

I also feel sorry for the author because if she tuned into at least one ‘Power Play’ on CTV per week, she

would probably be aware by now that the one per cent she referred to as ‘using loopholes’ are not included in the tax change proposals.

The proposals were aimed at small and medium incorporated businesses.

She may have also become aware that a good case has been presented against the finance minister as being the one to use loopholes, as well as for being in a ‘conflict of interest’.

This latter issue is now with the ethics commissioner.

She will make the conclusion.

With respect to the climate change

comments, I just want to thank my MP, Cheryl Gallant for the video she shared on this topic from an expert and author in this field.

It really helped me, not only to understand the other side of the climate change debate, but also to realize that it may have not received its fair share of coverage.

It’s almost like I was hearing this information for the first time!

Call to speak up for seniors successful: Gallant The Minister of Families, Children and Social Development confirmed to the House of Commons that the Trudeau government has been failing seniors following MP Cheryl Gallant’s call for Canadians to write the prime minister to demand a change, says an MP press release.

“Thank you to hundreds of Canadians who wrote to the prime minister demanding his government recognize the involuntary separation of married seniors when one moves into long-term care,” said Gallant.

“My colleagues and I wrote to the minister, but when Canadians from across the country heaped scorn onto the prime minister we saw quick action.”

MP Cheryl Gallant urged Canadians to write the prime minister to protest the decision by his government to deny involuntarily separated seniors the Guaranteed Income Supplement.

When the Conservatives were the Government of Canada, in cases where couples who were previously not eligible for the supplement based on their total family income, and who were involuntarily separated, (for example, one spouse being admitted to a long-term care facility),

the spouse remaining in the home could apply to be reassessed as a single individual rather than as part of a couple. Singles receive a higher benefit than individuals living together as a couple.

This provision had been quietly discontinued, forcing a number of seniors to face the immense economic burden of living below the same poverty level guidelines used for the calculation of the Guaranteed Income Supplement.

“What the government was doing to the most vulnerable seniors was heartbreaking, but seeing the response by Canadians when they found out was heartwarming,” said Gallant.

Nearly 900 individual Canadians sent the prime minister a letter via cherylgallant.com between the day Parliament returned on Sept. 18 and the day the Liberals acknowledged their error on Sept. 25.

“Seniors were being ignored by Liberals in and out of government until more Canadians spoke up,” said MP Gallant.

Of polar bears and waltzing the night away at Mountain Creek WENDY TESSIER

Mother Nature, we love ya! She gave all golfers a wonderful spate of great weather this month. Mountain Creek took advantage of the sun’s waning warmth to hold some final tournaments, most notably the Mixed Seniors’ and the very popular Polar Bear.

The Mixed Seniors’ teams played their final Wednesday game with great gusto amidst a few colourful leaves.

Back at the clubhouse, the kitchen staff did an A-one job serving a ribsticking chicken and ribs dinner.

This was followed by organizer Gordon Clark allocating prizes to all, including very nice complimentary golf shoe bags for everyone.

The event was attended by virtually all the seniors and the warmth of friendship and golf camaraderie could truly be felt in the presentations Gord made to those who are so deserving of gratitude for their great service, including the group’s appreciation of Gord for his exceptional organizational skills and the fun formats he regularly provides the seniors.

Following dinner, music for dancing was provided by Rick Leben and while one would be forgiven for thinking seniors would be too tired to trip the light fantastic after a day of golf, you couldn’t be more wrong.

Many showed just how well they could “cut a rug.” (for you young ‘uns, that means dancing like no one was watching!).

Mountain Creek Golf Course Men’s Polar Bear winners are Bob Davis, Shane Fagan and Jeff Needham.

What a great bunch of people!

What a rocking season-ending party!

Mountain Creek has seen its fair share of weather more apt to Polar Bears in years past but this year, perhaps the year end tourney should’ve been called the Brown Bear as the weather again was awesome - a golf-

HIRE

er’s friend!

It began Sunday, Oct. 22, when the shotgun at 12 p.m. saw 100 people begin play in both ladies’ and gents’ events.

The tourney was made a little more challenging as the teams had to play from differently designated tee boxes.

Men’s results: Team Fagan (Bob Davis, Shane Fagan, and Jeff Needham) were the gross winners of the Polar Bear with a 15 under score.

Finishing second was Team Newton.

Team Rousselle and Team Craig finished in a tie for third.

The net winners of the Polar Bear

Professional Employment Services for Job Seekers and Employers

were Team Irons with a net of 22 under.

The second place net team were Team Armstrong with third place taken by Team Cayer.

Ladies’ results: First place went to Lana Grenier and Francine Sullivan with a net of 61.5.

Second place went to Cathi Muldoon, Sue Phillips and Elaine Pritchard with a net of 61.7 - how close was that to first?!

Rita Fraser, Mary-Lynn O’Brien and Arlene Watt placed third with a net of 63.

Great job ladies. Congratulations to all the winners and all of the 100 participants!

Much of what makes golfing at “the Mountain” so much fun are the people who graciously handle the tee times, the people making and serving great food, the people ensuring the course’s great condition and those who selflessly step up to organize the men’s and ladies’ and seniors’ activities.

They are the heart of Mountain Creek.

This draws to a close MC’s “official” golf events for this season. There are still a few good golf days to enjoy, and Mountain Creek Golf Course is in the best condition ever so keep on playing til the snow flies.

To quote Bob Ryan: Golf is “a passion, an obsession, a romance, a nice acquaintanceship with trees, sand, and water.”

May the romance blossom again next spring!

Ann was a spiritual healer, a contemplative woman who embraced the mind-body-spirit connectedness through Reiki and Spiritual learnings through meditation.

The family are very grateful for all the loving care and support she received from all the Medical personnel that helped her through this journey.

Grace Warren October 28, 2016

I hear you when you laugh, And watch you as you sleep, I even place my arms around you, To calm you when you weep.

I see you when you wish the days away.

Begging to have me home, I try to send you signs, So you know you are not alone.

Live your life, enjoy yourself, be free, And when your time on earth is through, I am here with a hug for you.

Loving you always.

IN MEMORIAM GREENE, Percy November 4, 1983 The blow was great, the shock severe, We little thought the end was near, And only those who have lost can tell, The pain of parting without farewell.

More each day we miss you, Friends may think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow, That lies within our hearts concealed.

Loving Mom, Brothers and Sisters

Father believed there was always a solution for everything It had been a hot summer. Many times Mother said how grateful she was that Grampa had bought us a Barnett icebox. Oak, it was. And it filled a whole corner in the kitchen. It meant we could keep our food from spoiling, and the ice it held from the ice house could be chipped and put into well water for a cold drink on a hot day.

But as summer turned into fall and the days got shorter, even though it was much colder, it was still a long time before the Bonnechere would be frozen and more ice brought into the ice house. And so it was that fall day, when Father said we had to be careful, or we would run out of ice before the winter set in.

The youngest of us were not allowed in the ice house in the hot summer, just in case we let in the heat.

Everything was done to keep the big blocks frozen solid. The little black building was built on the north side of the barn to protect it as much as possi-

ble from the sun, and wagonload after wagonload of sawdust was dragged from the sawmill to cover the ice.

The big black tongs hung on a spike outside the building, and only Audrey or Father were the ones to bring a block into the icebox when needed.

And now, Father said, it looked like we might run out of ice before the Bonnechere froze over.

Now, the block in the Barnett was allowed to melt until there was nothing to prove it had ever been there. My job was to empty the basin of water that piped down when the ice melted, and I was both glad and anxious when

FOR SALE

FOR SALE

it now had to be done only every second day. Glad that I didn’t have to worry about the water filling the pan and spilling out on the floor through my neglect, but anxious, wondering where we would put our food when the ice house was empty.

And the fall dragged on. The leaves had turned, fallen, were raked up and burned. And each day was sunny and warm but with frosty nights, telling us soon we would be blocked in with drifts of snow and impassable roads, but cutting ice in the river still a long way off.

Mother, I knew, was worried. More than once she said to my sister Audrey, “Take the smallest blocks of ice first.”

And then suddenly the weather changed. We got up one morning to temperatures that had dropped through the night, chilling the very rafters of the house. Father had stoked the Findlay Oval as always before going to bed, but by morning it had

FOR SALE

FOR SALE

burned down, and we knew, as soon as our feet hit the floor, the nice fall days were over. It would just be a matter of time before winter would close in around us. But February, which was usually the month Father took ice from the river, was still months away.

I worried every day that we would run out of ice, our food would spoil and my entire family would either die of starvation or food poisoning. But Father didn’t seem to be that worried.

He, as always, had a solution ... one that had been used on that farm for three generations.

Out in the summer kitchen was an old table that held cans of paint, bits and pieces of wood, and other things which didn’t seem to have a home.

Father moved it to the centre of the floor, took four empty tin cans, filled them with coal oil, and put one under each leg. Mother covered it with a worn piece of oilcloth, and that table became our “icebox.” Mother, whose concern was that a mouse would get

FOR SALE

FOR SALE

onto our food, was assured by Father that no mouse could climb a table leg over a can of coal oil. And so leftovers were wrapped in wax paper, then in many layers of the Renfrew Mercury, and taken out to the summer kitchen, where they either froze or were kept well chilled until used in a meal. No longer did we have to worry about running out of ice from the ice house.

There were still a few blocks left for chipping into a glass of well water, but the big oak Barnett lay idle, its shelves empty, but its big door left ajar to air out until once again, it would be filled with a block of ice from the Bonnechere. Father was right. If you use your head, there is a solution for just about everything.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, no matter the demands that are put on your time right now, you must take some time to retreat and focus on your well-being. This may mean staying out of the limelight.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may have been quietly working on a project that no one has had a clue about. This endeavor will soon be revealed to everyone close to you, showcasing your creativity.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, the greatest asset you can have this week is the capacity to communicate. Always express your feelings clearly so that nothing can be misconstrued.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you might feel like you have lost a bit of your relationship magic, but in the department of winning friends, you can’t be beat. People are lining up to know you.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Relationship matters are on the mend, Aquarius. You couldn’t be happier with the changes. You’re not prone to going it alone, and having a mate at your side is key.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You are not going to do anything halfway this week, Scorpio. Come to think of it, you never do things halfway. Nevertheless, be cautious and considerate with your pursuits.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, associates and friends have been cautious and guarded, leading you to believe you should act the same way. Don’t follow the crowd.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you’ve felt misunderstood recently, do not worry. Things will finally be righted, and you will be able to smooth over any miscommunications with others.

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!

CLUES ACROSS

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 You will welcome this week as a time for renewal, Aries. That means surrounding yourself with easygoing people and engaging in various relaxing activities.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 This is a week of activity directly related to your earning potential, Cancer. It is time to get your financial house in order, devoting your time to budgets.

A good winter for squirrels lies ahead MICHAEL RUNTZ Nature’s Way

Since time immemorial our kind has been fascinated with the future. Fortune tellers have made fortunes at the expense of those who wished to know what lay ahead. Farmers looked for signs that told them what the future weather might be. Some of those involved nature: the size of a beaver’s stash of branches for winter consumption was said to foretell the severity of

the winter ahead, the larger the stash, the longer the winter. As are the other signs used to predict winter’s severity, this unfortunately is a myth.

Although future events, especially those involving winter’s ferocity, are rarely prophesied with accuracy, I am boldly predicting that this winter will be quite favourable for mice and squirrels. It will be good in terms of food abundance and survivorship. Now, I haven’t visited a tarot card reader or looked into a crystal ball. I make this bold prediction because

Finding flora: tiny plants provide a big picture KAREN RUNTZ Macnamara Field Naturalists Club

Which came first, mammals or flowering plants?

Scientists tell us that flowering plants (angiosperms) arrived on Earth some 125 million years ago, after mammals, with a ‘big bloom’ effect that changed the world.

Who knew? Botanist and modern day explorer/investigator Dr. Lynn Gillespie for one!

A research scientist at the Canadian Museum of Nature, Gillespie travels the world naming and classifying plants, discovering new species, and studying their evolutionary history and diversity.

Her destination on November 7, 2017, is the Arnprior Curling Club, where she’ll inform the Macnamara nature club (the MFNC) on The Diversity and Evolution of Flowering Plants.

As always, guests are welcome to attend.

Feet in the field and in the lab Some of Gillespie’s time is spent in a DNA lab unlocking information in DNA molecules —the key to classifying and identifying new species. A good portion is also spent in field trips collecting and surveying plants in remote areas of the Canadian Arctic.

She has in fact more than 20 Arctic field trips to her credit.

Last year, for instance, Gillespie and fellow botanists were bent over frost boils (upwellings of mud) on Arctic tundra, searching for flora like the tiny and elusive snow grass, on a 30-day, eight-plane-hopping survey of plants in three Nunavut communities.

Sleuthing in the Arctic sometimes calls for boots in canoes as well as on the ground. In 2014, Gillespie and her three-member team spent long days in canoes paddling Nunavut’s

Coppermine River in search of plant life never formally catalogued by science. They did a similar survey in 2012, along the Soper River of Baffin Island.

Collect, collect, collect One aspect of collecting specimens has changed little from the days of early plant explorers. Team member Paul Sokoloff blogs how they “still preserve plants by smashing them between cardboards in a plant press, using airflow and pressure to dry them into two-dimensionality.” Apply that image to their 2014 trip when they collected some 1200 specimens! Modern technology aids other aspects, though—preserving sub-samples in silica gel for future DNA analyses, the GPS identification of locations, and the output of data into online collections.

One of their legacies will be a new Flora of the Canadian Arctic, ‘a new standard’ with digital assets and web and database technologies.

Solid baseline data is especially important during periods of climate change and guiding future research.

Food for thought As Gillespie explains in the museum’s youth 2007 Botany on Ice video: “We need to really know and understand what plants we have in the Arctic right now… where they are distributed. Then we can start monitoring to find out how the plants change with climate change.”

“As the climate gets warmer,” she adds, “new plants from the south move into the landscape.

This could have a huge impact on animals that feed on the plants, animals that feed on those animals, and, ultimately, humans.”

Food for thought. “Virtually every nonmeat food we eat starts as a flowering plant, while the meats, milk, and eggs we consume come from livestock fattened on grains—flowering plants.”
