Canadian Tire opens to great fanfare derek.dunn@metroland.com

.CA

belleville .CA

Shoppers lined up outside in the dark and cold to await the grand opening of Arnprior’s new Canadian Tire store.

When the sliding doors opened Oct. 26, associate dealer Jerome Taylor stood just inside the to greet every customer. It’s been a long time in coming for folks in this town, and for himself. “This is really about bringing something new,” Taylor said, before being interrupted by a stranger who shook his hand.

“This is really great,” said Gary Lacoste, looking Taylor straight in the eye. “This is all the stuff that I need – and will need – that I drive to Ottawa for.”

“Well our people have been working really hard to get everything together,” said Taylor before someone else commanded his attention.

The atmosphere was lively and festive among the invites – a band and long table of food and drinks helped – with plenty of shoppers and community leaders, including members of town council, the chamber of commerce, and even the hospital CEO. Mayor David Reid said the 50,000

square foot building, attached to the newly renovated Arnprior Shopping Centre on Daniel Street, is another step in the right direction for a town that has suffered from a significant lack of box stores.

“This is definitely one of the major steps along with the downtown revitalization,” Reid said.

“We’ve come a long way in a couple of years.”

Staff has doubled to 50 employees.

Inventory has gone from a low of 1.6 million in the old store, located just to the east, to today’s 5.2 million.

The old store is behind the Canadian Tire gas station, and the source of much speculation. Some say it will be turned into a Starbucks, others say an LCBO. Those are rumours, of course, but it illustrates excitement for the future of shopping in Arnprior.

“I think (this Canadian Tire) is just a sign of things to come,” Coun.

Frank Dugal said.

“Who knows what other stores will be coming.”

Taylor provided numerous guided tours throughout the evening. There’s the hunting section. (The old store didn’t sell guns.)

Which also means two lockup areas in back. There’s the expanded eight-bay garage with all new equipment. Then there are the sophisticated in-store technology systems for the dozens of computers, TVs, monitors, surveillance, and even electronic keys for staff to access the lunch room and offices. It all cost at least $500,000.

There’s about $1.5 million worth of assets like shelves, furniture, and cash registers.

Even the sprinkler system is high tech and costly; with 1,500 tires on site, only the best sprinklers will do.

Lindsay Wilson is the town’s economic development officer. She is impressed with the store, not the largest CT builds, but definitely a professionally done job by local contractor M. Sullivan & Son. “It’s definitely a huge step for the town and nice to see the space redeveloped, which is what the market demand study calls for,” Wilson said.

The grand opening saw

Jerome Taylor welcomes customers in to his much anticipated new store.

Among the new products for sale: guns. many carts filled while folks socialized in the aisles. The Debenham Brothers played country while mechanics changed tires in the background. Cari Reid from Greenside Tavern

had a small mountain of deli meats, veggies, and homemade desserts.

It was just a store opening.

But it was a big deal for a small town.

Public meeting to discuss new buildings in township DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

A town hall meeting will take place likely in late November to discuss what is being described as the Township of McNab/ Braeside’s biggest decision of this term: new buildings.

The priority list for building four to five municipal facilities was decided at the committee and council levels.

It is needs based; not geographically driven. The salt and sand shed in Braeside was virtually a condemned building, so was replaced this summer.

However, determining which buildings to replace next has generated some conflict on council.

Most are in favour of replacing the Braeside RA Centre at a cost of about $1.8 million (plus

or minus $200,000).

Then would come a new township office and an upgraded Perneel building to include heat and washrooms. Replacement of the White Lake Park rink building would be last on the list.

The priority list doesn’t sit well with Coun. Mark MacKenzie, the only member to vote no on a crucial decision.

He wanted cost estimates of all buildings simultaneously.

At a township that took in a little over $10 million this year - with minimal growth projections, four per cent over 10 years, according to the county he contends the Braeside building is too expensive.

“I’m not convinced that the big investment for years to come should be in Braeside,” MacKenzie said. “We have to be very

frugal with the buildings we are building.”

He would sooner see the money used in a central location, at a large recreation facility near the existing township office. If they go with Braeside, residents in White Lake would have to drive past Arnprior for access.

There is also the chance, once built, Braeside residents would resist putting money into a central facility or even the White Lake one.

Mayor Tom Peckett agrees the Braeside design is the most expensive, but the other options were not much cheaper. There was maybe $150,000 difference.

They opted for the larger hall to attract possible revenue from wedding receptions.

However, the Braeside facility is in worse condition than

White Lake’s. The former was built in about 1970 versus 1980.

And over the years the Braeside building has gotten a lot more use, even though the population is about the same in both communities.

“White Lake is on our list, but we can’t do them all at once,” Peckett said. “We’ll be looking at something better than there is now.”

He isn’t promising White Lake will be done this term. A whole new council could come in and call for new plans. Peckett isn’t even promising a new township hall this term, but contends it is “near to being condemned.” Mould, a lack of accessibility, and other issues has put pressure on council to act.

An exact date has not been set for the public meeting.

Policing the police: Ontario seeks better way forward NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

One of the province’s most delicate responsibilities is investigating its own police officers.

The process of digging into police action – or inaction – requires investigative skills and investigators who are

independent from the officers under the microscope.

To ensure public faith in the system, independence is key.

Ontario is reviewing the way police oversight is conducted, and Justice Michael Tulloch is travelling across the province to gather ideas from the public and concerned groups.

Tulloch introduced a public discussion in Ottawa on Oct. 26 by explaining the scope of his work – dubbed the independent police oversight review.

“I am free to critically examine how these oversight bodies operate,” Tulloch told a group of more than 50 people gathered at the Wabano Centre on Montreal Road.

“I can assure you that, in this process, you will be heard.”

In Ontario there are three bodies that may investigate police: • The Special Investigations Unit is best known to the public. The civilian investigators are called in when police are involved in incidents of serious injury or death.

• The office of the independent police review director oversees complaints about police officers.

• The Ontario Civilian Police Commission conducts hearings on police discipline and deals with disputes about the provision of police services.

Tulloch is tasked with writing a report and making recommendations to Ontario’s attorney general on how to improve transparency and accountability of the oversight bodies, and ensuring those bodies are effective and don’t overlap responsibilities.

Tulloch is scheduled to issue his report on March 31, 2017. While the justice isn’t dealing with individual complaints about police conduct, he will surely hear some difficult stories during his tour of the province.

Among the Ottawa attendees was Matt Cicero of Vanier, who said he was badly beaten by Ottawa police about 20 years ago, when he was in his early 20s.

Cicero said he wasn’t complying with officers’ orders at the time, but said officers went too far when they stripped off his clothes and pepper sprayed him before dragging him into a cell.

“I still have the scars,” Cicero said.

He said the incident left him with a lack of trust for police. He decided to attend the oversight review after speaking with people at a community conference about the death of Abdirahman Abdi.

The 37-year-old Ottawa man died after an encounter with Ottawa police in July, and the SIU is currently investigating that case.

Cicero said he’d like to see the province “make SIU reports available to everyone.”

Fairlea Community Association president Peter Stockdale also attended Tulloch’s oversight review in Ottawa. He said he wants a dedicated civilian unit for police investigations that is “completely separate” from police.

That would mean civilian investigators who are not all former police officers – a complaint the SIU has always faced.

Stockdale said there are other ways oversight investigations can be kept separate from the day-to-day investigation police carry out, including different labs to handle forensic

evidence.

Even the courts can be a concern.

“Our court system is used to relying on the police,” Stockdale said, alluding to the risks of placing too much trust in evidence given by police officers.

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi – who is Ontario’s attorney general – said he attended the review meeting strictly as a local MPP, as he is, in effect, Tulloch’s boss.

“The report will come to me with policy recommendations,” Naqvi said of Tulloch’s work.

Naqvi said the idea of a national unit to investigate police would require a wider conversation, and he expressed support for a continuing provincial mandate.

“I think it’s better if it’s local in nature, so to speak,” he said of the provincial management of oversight.

On the possibility of hiring oversight investigators who are not former police officers, Naqvi avoided prejudging anything Tulloch may put in his report.

“It’s exactly that kind of thing we’re looking to Justice Tulloch for his recommendations,” he said.

Naqvi said Ontario is a leader among North American jurisdictions when it comes to the way police actions are investigated.

“Yet we still think we can do better,” Naqvi said.

Business booming for brew brothers at Whitewater Brewing Company SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

“Not bad for a couple of river bums.”

It’s the afternoon before the fully sold-out ticketed Oct. 27 grand opening event at Whitewater Brewing Company’s new Lakeside location and the owners, both named Chris Thompson, sit at a communal table in the 7,300-square-foot location and reflect on what has been a pretty incredible path to business success.

“Brewed by friends, for friends,” is the company’s motto and the words are reflected in the staff’s interactions with the owners and each other, as well as the atmosphere of the new brewery and restaurant, nestled on the outskirts of Cobden along Highway 17. The former whitewater rafting guides embarked on the journey in June of 2013, brewing their handcrafted beer in small batches at their Riverside location near Foresters Falls.

Soon after came the restaurant, offering simple yet high-quality food, along with special events and other entertainment options, including open mic nights.

Did they envision the success they are now enjoying? “When we started we knew we were starting way too small, and with far too few resources to be sustainable in the long term,”

SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Whitewater Brewing Company owners Chris M. Thompson, left, and Chris D. Thompson, toast the opening of their new restaurant and brewery in Cobden. said Chris D. Thompson. “It was always our goal to grow our Riverside location to a size where we could build a new facility that was purposebuilt to our needs.”

Have there been any surprises along the way?

“I think people drink a lot more beer than I ever imagined,” he said.

And what comes to mind as they look around and consider how mo-

mentous the occasion of the grand opening of their new, impressive location?

“It’s been a very gradual process for Chris and I,” said Chris D. Thompson. “It’s less of a wow moment for us but I think once we’re up and running we’ll sit back and reflect and we’re happy with it ultimately.”

For Chris M. Thompson, the wow moments are different. “Someone

sent us a picture of someone wearing our shirt on a plane in Germany,” he said. “Or like, near the very beginning I was walking out of the grocery store and saw someone wearing our shirt so I assumed they were one of our staff so I was going to walk up and wave. Then I realized I didn’t know who they were.”

The focus of the building’s construction was similar to that of the food – simple and locally sourced.

“One of the big priorities coming into the design element was we wanted to keep a very local and rustic feel to it,” said Chris D. Thompson. “So we made a tough decision to go with the big lumber frame as opposed to steel, which would have been a lot cheaper.”

All of the wood is from the Ottawa Valley or as close as they could acquire what was needed.

“We wanted to keep all these big beams on show to sort of showcase that.”

The Riverside location is an old dairy barn, so the red siding and shape of the new building is in keeping with that theme. “We really like communal seating areas - areas where people can sit down and just socialize and have fun,” he said.

Has anything surprised the Chrises about their continued success?

“I don’t think I ever imagined we’d ever be making the volume of beer we make now,” said Chris D.

Thompson.

“We brew five batches a day, seven days a week,” said Chris M. Thompson. “When we started out we were doing three batches a week.”

The new addition will eventually allow Whitewater Brewing Company to produce 60 times the beer they now make. “Maxed out at our current location is roughly about 7,000 litres a month,” said Chris D. Thompson. “And we’ll be doing that per day here when we’re fully operational.”

Whitewater Brewing Company has four year-round brands and other seasonal options. Once they’ve settled into the new location, they may look at offering the seasonal choices on a more permanent basis.

The company employs about three dozen people and now that the Riverside location is closed for the fall, those staff members were able to make the transition to the new place.

“We’re coming in with trained staff who know what they’re doing and know what we want, whether it’s food or quality, timing and servers who know what we want,” said Chris M. Thompson.

More staff will be hired in the coming months and again when the Lakeside location reopens.

The Lakeside location is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week and brunch Saturdays and Sundays.

The restaurant opens at 11:30 a.m.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Ontario looks for answers How soon after the first public safety entity was created – hundreds of years ago – did some ask the question: Who will police the police?

The province is hoping to improve the way the police in Ontario are managed. There are three bodies that investigate police actions, with the Special Investigations Unit the best known.

Justice Michael Tulloch is touring the province, listening to Ontarians’ suggestions and complaints. It’s a worthwhile endeavour.

All of us need to have faith in our police. We need to know that when we raise a concern, an independent investigation will occur. Two of the stated purposes of Tulloch’s review are greater transparency and accountability.

The SIU operates at arm’s length from the police, and the organization’s investigators deliver their reports to the Ontario attorney general, but not the public. That’s the first fix that’s needed. Public reports ensure transparency.

The arm’s-length relationship – great in theory – can also be questioned. Most, if not all, of the SIU’s investigators are former police officers. While police departments are obvious sources of good investigators, their resumes don’t pass the

sniff test for some people who complain about police actions. There is no doubt there’s an appearance of conflict of interest, which in turn can make the public less confident that investigations go where they need to go.

The answer would be to train investigators to work for the SIU, even if they have never worked for law enforcement before.

There would clearly be a cost as the education wouldn’t be simple.

But if Tulloch is to create a fair and complete report, hiring non-cops for the SIU must be an option.

Another way to stretch the arm’slength relationship between police and the SIU would be to expand the geographic scope of the people who investigate police officers.

A provincial body such as the SIU means investigators – former police officers – may have personal relationships with members of the forces they investigate. If Canada had a federal unit instead, that could ensure personal relationships are less likely or avoided altogether – a former police officer in Alberta could be assigned SIU cases in New Brunswick, for example.

Voting system will determine democracy To the editor: The Liberal party election platform of 2015 wrote: “We will make every vote count. We are committed to ensuring that 2015 will be the last federal election conducted under the first-past-the-post voting system.”

That was a consequential promise to overturn an institution that has lasted since the 12th century and through all of Canadian history.

Therefore the all-party electoral reform parliamentary committee is currently considering new voting systems and processes for Canada.

representative by the name of Norman Hart explained the various types of electoral systems that Canada could transition towards, from mixed-member proportional systems to open-list proportional systems to closed-list proportional systems to the alternative ranked ballot to the single-transferable vote system. Almost 30 citizens, including the former Liberal candidate Jeff Lehoux and the former Green candidate, myself, were present. Hart expressed his opinion that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has decided that a transition to the alternative ranked ballot system is politically untenable and that

the Liberal government is more likely to push through a different electoral system.

Unfortunately, further town halls and mainstream education for Renfrew County on the matter of electoral reform are seemingly not on the horizon. Nor are Canadians as a whole necessarily engaged on how the future of our democracy is at stake. In September an IPSOS poll found that only 19 per cent of Canadians were aware that the electoral reform committee had started its consultation, and only 3% of Canadians were “very closely” following.

The problem with politics is that

when the many do not understand how they are affected by institutions made by the few, the few will be the ones who figure out how to advance their own interests at the expense of the many.

The Liberal and New Democratic Parties have to their credit compromised with one another in establishing a committee where no party has a majority with which to push through its own preferred reform proposal.

Whatever proposals are recommended by the committee will necessarily have the support of more than one party. However, party leaders could still manipulate the votes of members on the committee.

information should be expected from the most powerful political interests.

They will trumpet over and over their call for a national referendum, where they would have an easier time blowing hot air to confuse the public. Instead of calling a national referendum, pressure should instead be put upon the governing Liberals to consult the public through a mass deliberative household survey that asks questions about citizens’ values in constituency and ballot types.

This December when the electoral reform committee proposes its recommendations on a new electoral system for Canada, millions of Canadians should be paying attention to understand how the future of democracy is at stake.

You can tell that this male deer, left, is in his rut because his antlers have lost the velvet (skin) that covered them during their growth, and his neck is swollen. When entering the rut, buck White-tailed Deer rub their antlers against trees, depositing scents from their forehead in the process.

Even in November love is in the air If I asked you to think of a romantic season, likely spring would come to mind. After all, that is when birds break winter’s silence with vibrant choruses and their feather coats liven trees with red, yellow, and orange. At day’s end, the love songs of frogs serenade the arrival of night.

While most animals find romance in the spring, a few do so in other seasons. Praying Mantids and Walking Sticks mate in late summer, leaving eggs as legacy to their unions.

Crossbills, nomadic birds specializing in extracting seeds from conifer cones, court and nest in the dead of winter if a huge crop of cones is found.

Autumn is when most animals are busily preparing for the upcoming challenges of winter but that season is when Moose get sexy. By late October, just as those giants are finishing up their rituals of love, their smaller relatives are beginning to express theirs. With November now here, Whitetailed Deer are entering their breeding season, the rut.

Like Moose, each year male deer grow antlers that reveal much to the opposite sex and potential competitors. Young bucks grow small antlers while older bucks grow larger, more impressive racks. The animal’s health plays a role too; the healthiest, genetically fittest individuals produce the largest antlers.

If a doe comes along and finds the buck’s scent to be suitable, she joins him for a sexual rendezvous. If another buck finds a scrape, he often covers his competitor’s scent with his own.

As do Moose, male deer establish dominance through shoving contests that involve their antlers. Occasionally, two bucks become tangled and unable to separate. When this happens, both participants die. But this is rare, with losers of “sparring” contests usually learning to back away when challenged by larger bucks.

With November now here, watch for bucks with swollen necks. And look for strips of bark dangling off trees, and smelly pits in the ground.

The White-tailed Deer rut starts in late October and continues until early December, peaking in mid-November.

You know that it has started when bucks start strutting around with swollen necks.

Another sign is trees with shredded bark hanging down.

Bucks rub their antlers against tree trunks while depositing scents released from glands on their forehead.

This secretion is attractive to females and warns other bucks to stay away. Bucks also produce sexual scents in glands situated between the hocks and the hooves of their hind legs.

These scents are released in a most peculiar way. A buck squats with his hind legs held together under his belly.

As he rubs those legs together, he activates the glands.

As he rubs he also urinates, the

To the editor: Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week is Nov. 1-7.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in Ontario, Canada and North America.

In Ontario, 80 per cent of injuries and deaths from carbon monoxide occur in the home. CO is called the silent killer because you cannot see it, taste it or smell it.

This deadly gas is produced by the incomplete burning of fuels and can be released by fuel-burning furnaces, hot water heaters, cars, fireplaces, wood stoves and

kerosene heaters.

The best way to ensure that you and your family are not exposed to the dangers of CO is to eliminate it at its source.

As you prepare for the winter ahead, be sure to have your fuel-burning appliances inspected by a certified technician.

Your second line of defence is the installation of a CO alarm.

Without an alarm, you have no way of knowing if there are dangerous levels of CO in your home.

It is the law in Ontario that all homes with a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace or

attached garage must have a working CO alarm outside all sleeping areas.

For added protection, install a CO alarm on every storey of your home.

For more information about CO safety or to find a certified technician in your area, visit cosafety.ca and ontario.ca/firemarshal.

Protect yourself and your family from deadly carbon monoxide.

Options for home care workers should be expanded To the editor: The first choice of people living with a disability, and of the elderly is to remain in their own homes for as long as they can safely do so.

To accomplish this they often require some assistance in their daily lives. Families, friends, neighbours cannot always provide this help.

It is encouraging that the federal government has announced additional health care funding for home care; however, the num-

ber of home care workers now providing this service is severely limited, and does not come near meeting the current needs.

And the baby boomer generation is aging.

Our communities require competent, trained home care workers – nurses, homemakers, personal service workers, companions, etc.

MP Cheryl Gallant joins softwood lumber task force Known for expressing concern for the thousands of riding jobs at stake in forestry, Cheryl Gallant, MP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, has been asked to join the Conservative Opposition Softwood Lumber Task Force to hold the Trudeau Liberals to account for solving the softwood lumber trade dispute with the United States.

“The failure to strike a new softwood lumber agreement with the United States to replace the one-year interim deal that officially expired last week, leaves thousands employed in the forestry sector across Canada anxious and uneasy,” said a press release from the MP. “The Trudeau Liberals have failed to make a commitment to the Canadian forestry industry and that failure will affect every region of the country,” said Gallant. “From British Columbia to Ontario, Quebec, and certainly including the Atlantic provinces, each province could face significant job losses. This is particularly worrying in my riding in Eastern Ontario, where the rural local economy is dependent on the lumber industry. The imposition of new tariffs on lumber exports will have devastating effects on an already fragile rural economy and it is unfortunate the Trudeau Liberals remain unmoved by this situation.

“The failure to get a new softwood lumber deal across the finish line is just another example of Justin Trudeau’s selfie international trade policy,” said the Hon. Gerry Ritz, Official Opposition Critic for International Trade. “After a year in government, the Trudeau Liberals still refuse to take a decision on the Trans Pacific Partnership. The Canada European Trade Agreement with the European Union is under threat. Canadian workers deserve stability and predictability from the government.”

Joining Gallant are the Hon. Gerry Ritz, Member of Parliament for Battlfords-Lloydminster; Todd Doherty, MP Cariboo-Prince George; Bob Zimmer MP Prince George Peace River; Randy Hoback MP, Prince Albert;’ Denis Lebel MP, Lac-Saint-Jean and ChilliwackSUBMITTED Hope MP Mark Strahl.

“We are a group of MPs who are tired of the MP Cheryl Gallant and MP Gerry Ritz meeting with Allan Bell of Bell Lumber in Renfrew, government mismanaging this very important Dean Felhaber of Ben Hokum and Son in Killaloe, and Grant Gulick of Gulick Forest Prodfile,” said Gallant. “We will make sure the Lib- ucts in Palmer Rapids on Parliament Hill in April 2016. erals don’t forget about the workers and communities affected by their lack of concern for the families who rely on the working forest for their jobs. As the Official Opposition Critic for Northern Ontario, I particularly want to hear from workers and community leaders from Northern Ontario.”

Protect yourself and your loved ones from the flu RENFREW COUNTY AND DISTRICT HEALTH UNIT

Renfrew County and District Health Unit wants to remind the public that it’s flu season.

The free flu vaccine will be available starting this week for everyone age six months or older.

Flu viruses are always changing, so vaccines against the flu are updated every year. Each flu season, the flu vaccine is designed to protect against the most common flu viruses expected to go around. That’s why it’s important to get the flu shot every year.

Flu (influenza) is a contagious respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses. Flu can cause mild to severe illness that can lead to hospitalization or even death.

Children under five, pregnant women and seniors are especially at risk of getting seriously ill from the flu.

The flu shot is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from getting the flu.

In addition to getting the flu shot, you should take everyday precautions: Clean your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol based hand sanitizer Cough and sneeze into a tissue or your sleeve, not your hand Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

Germs can spread this way Stay at home if you are sick and avoid contact with people who are sick with the flu Clean surfaces, such as countertops, tele-

phones and keyboards; flu viruses can live on surfaces for up to eight hours The flu shot is safe, and helps you stay healthy and avoid getting the flu.

Renfrew County and District Health Unit is offering 12 flu vaccination clinics across the county beginning Tuesday Nov. 1. No appointment necessary. For flu clinic dates and times, visit our website at www.rcdhu.com or call the Health Information Line at 613-735-6666 or 1-800-267-1097 ext. 666.

Mississippi Mills honours longstanding businesses at inaugural awards evening ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com

Small businesses are a vital part of any community and Mississippi Mills paid tribute to some of theirs during the inaugural Longstanding Business Recognition Evening Oct. 20.

A reception was held at Almonte Old Town Hall to honour 28 businesses who have been in operation for more than 25, 35, 50 and 65 years. The evening was spearheaded more than a year ago by Mississippi Mills Coun. Jill McCubbin and the community economic development committee. In his opening remarks, mayor Shaun McLaughlin thanked McCubbin and staff for their efforts in organizing the event and the businesses who call the municipality home. “Tonight, we’ll be recognizing businesses and businesspeople who have become fixtures in our community, businesses who supply a long, diverse list of services...” he remarked. “I did a little bit of math, added up all those years and collectively, you have 1,241 years of experience. Good for you!”

Stacie Lloyd, regional economic development officer of Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC), brought greetings from the organization,

which works closely with communities and businesses to “support entrepreneurship, economic growth and job creation.”

The Mississippi Mills resident spoke of the importance of small business in rural areas and the vital role they play in their economy. “...

When I’m asked to speak about businesses, I really turn to the businesses in our community here in Mississippi Mills. The businesses where we shop and we meet our neighbours, where we have our car, our lawn mower and our tractors repaired, where we go to see the doctors, the dentists and the chiropractor, where we go to keep our animals healthy and cared for, where we take our family, friends and visitors to taste our great foods and drinks...” Lloyd noted. “We certainly have a variety of businesses in the community of entrepreneurs and family-run operations, which drive our local economy.”

Citing Statistic Canada figures from December 2014 and 2015, Lloyd indicated small business makes up nearly 98 per cent of all Canadian employers (one to 99 people). Smaller businesses (one to four employees) reflect 54 per cent of all private employers in Canada. “This percentage increases to 86 per cent of Canadian employers when you include businesses that employ up to 19 people,” she said.

“So, in Mississippi Mills in 2015, we had 364 businesses recorded in that group, the group that employs from one to 19 people and we had 25 businesses employing over 20 people,” Lloyd continued. “This has a significant impact on our employment and our prosperity with your roles as employers in our community.”

Small business owners “are hard workers with lots of energy,” who “are good at turning creative ideas into innovation and making things happen.”

“Small business affects all of us and is an important part of our lives, providing economic stability in our community, creating jobs, including jobs for our students, and creating products and services and prosperity,” Lloyd said.

“We live in a strong and thriving community in Mississippi Mills and small businesses are a key factor in the high quality of life we experience here.

All this to say how important small businesses are to our community, we are very pleased to be recognizing you this evening.

Osteoporosis and You

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. This leads to increased bone fragility and risk of fracture (broken bones), particularly hip, spine and wrists. Although it is more common in women, osteoporosis is a serious health issue for men. According to a Canadian study of healthy men and women, the number of broken bones (also known as fractures) of the spine is similar in men and women over the age of 50.

Debbie and Pam are the technologists who perform BMDs. They go through regular training to ensure their skills are up to date in order to provide the best care to their patients.

How strong are your bones? Assessing your risk and testing for bone loss are keys to diagnosing osteoporosis. Osteoporosis does not develop overnight. You can lose bone mass steadily for many years without experiencing any symptoms or signs of the disease until a bone fractures. For this reason, osteoporosis is often called “the silent thief” – literally stealing our bone mass without giving us any indication whatsoever. If osteoporosis is first diagnosed at the time a fracture occurs, it is already fairly advanced. The tests are known as Bone Mineral Density (BMD) tests and the technology that they use is known as bone densitometry. These tests are safe, painless and accurately measure the density of your bones. A BMD test will assist your doctor in determining whether or not you have osteoporosis and how likely you are to develop it in the future. It can help you to make decisions that may prevent fractures or further bone loss. If you are concerned about your bone density, are over 50 or have one of the risk factors, please speak with your family doctor about a Bone Mineral Densitometry Screening. You do require a requisition to book an appointment.

Message from Queen’s Park

Monthly Column by MPP John Yakabuski November 2016 Well the hydro issue just gets bigger and bigger. The Liberals have tried to quiet the anger they’re hearing from homeowners, ratepayers, small businesses, and manufacturers, but all they’ve done is draw more attention to the mess they have created.

Bringing in the Band-Aid HST Rebate legislation has actually made people look more closely at their bills and realize just how much they’ve gone up and how unaffordable electricity has become in the province of Ontario. One thing most people don’t see on their hydro bills is the Global Adjustment. As a residential or small-business customer (unless you have an electricity contract with a reseller), the Global Adjustment is blended into your bill. The Global Adjustment is essentially the cost of operating the system over-and-above the market-value of the electricity. Inside of it are all of the costs that you never hear about. In addition to the cost of the exorbitant energy contracts the Liberals have signed with producers—which I have spoken about on many occasions—it is also the place where mistakes and undisclosed expenses are hidden.

Over the last couple of weeks in the Estimates Committee, where I have been grilling the Energy Minister, we have exposed a few more of those hidden expenses. The Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP), which was designed to help low-income ratepayers cope with their hydro bills, has certainly been a bonanza for high priced consultants and advertising firms. We found that almost $12 million that should have gone to low-income ratepayers instead went to pay for consultants and Liberal-friendly advertising firms. That will be added to your bill.

It was also revealed at the Public Accounts Committee that $81 million from the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) was added to your bills because of an accounting error—and which the government never told the public about. Finally, a recent Ontario Superior Court of Justice ruling awarded Northland Power $95 million because of a legal dispute with the government; that $95 million is going on your bills as well. It just seems that life under the Liberals continues to get harder here in Ontario.

Because we are constantly contacted by people struggling with their hydro bills, last week I inserted a petition in local newspapers. Please sign those petitions and get them back to me so I can let the government know how important this issue is in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. If you were unable to sign the petition from the newspaper, you can go on-line to my website, sign it, and get them to my office. The link is: http://www.johnyakabuski.com/petitions On a positive note, I recently met with Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca and spoke to him at length about the need to prioritize the continue the four laning of Highway 17 in Renfrew County. I made it clear that we have done everything locally, and at the County level, to make our case and that the government needs to act. He did agree to visit the riding and tour Highway 17 to get a first-hand look at the challenges we are facing. While the date has not yet been finalized, we expect it to be within the next several weeks.

We are also reaching that very special time of year where we are asked to wear a poppy in honour of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that we live in a country that is glorious and free. All across the riding there will be remembrance services either on or before November 11th. Please do your best to attend one in your community. It is our chance to honour those who gave their lives in defence of freedom and democracy, and to also show our respect to those who are still with us who were willing to do so. We are ever thankful to them. Lest We Forget.

In the insect world, the Monarch butterfly is the world’s greatest traveller.

When autumn arrives, fragile-looking monarchs from Eastern Canada begin a Herculean journey of over 4,000 kilometres to mountains northwest of Mexico City, covering more than 100 kilometres in a single day.

And for some 20 years, retired Canadian Museum of Nature Associate Jean Lauriault, a specialist in the Monarch butterfly, has migrated there with them.

“What fascinates me most is the migration, how such a small insect [weighing less than half a gram, equal to two raindrops] can resist high winds for X number of months and make it to Mexico,” says Lauriault.

“Then, the same butterfly, which had never been to Mexico before, begins the journey back north.”

Tens of millions of monarchs were known to hibernate in Mexico his first winters there.

But the overwintering population has since plummeted.

“On average there are some 50 million monarchs per hectare in 12 sanctuaries,” notes Lauriault. “Over the 20 years of monitoring, the population has fluctuated greatly, from 18 to < 1 hectares.”

And in the last 20 years, it’s reported that North America has lost 90 per cent of the Monarch butterfly population.

CONCERNING DROP IN LOCAL NUMBERS

We’ve noticed the drop in numbers locally.

While plenty of hands were raised at the MFNC’s September meeting when Michael Runtz, the club’s president, asked how many members had seen monarchs this summer, the same people confirmed that the numbers were way down. Their faces reflected a concern that is widespread—the butterfly is one of the most easily recognized locally.

The monarch is highly vulnerable to changes in its environment and deforestation in Mexico along with herbicide use in Canada and the U.S., where it breeds, has damaged its population.

But implementing a conservation plan over a

migratory route extending over three countries is quite complicated, notes Lauriault.

Close study of all aspects of monarch life and death has impassioned him to the butterfly’s need for our protection and conservation — a mission he’ll be sharing when he presents The Monarch Butterfly: a Labour of Love at the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ banquet on November 12.

Members of the public are welcome to attend this event.

Those who have attended the club’s previous banquets know you get generous servings of great food and fun.

Michael Runtz, a well-known naturalist, nature photographer, and natural history author, will be the MC for the evening. And what would a Macnamara Club banquet be without one of his entertaining quizzes!

BANQUET DETAILS

The banquet will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Fitzroy Harbour Community Association Hall, 100 Clifford Campbell Dr., Fitzroy Harbour.

Doors will open at 5 p.m. and dinner (roast beef and homemade side dishes with pie, etc., and vegetarian lasagna for non-meat eaters.) is at 6 p.m.

The evening will also feature a silent auction with a wide range of appealing items.

How you can buy tickets The ticket price, at $35 per person, is all inclusive.

Payment must be received by the club by Nov. 8. Tickets for children 11 and under are available at a special price of $20. Tickets will not be available at the door.

Tickets can be purchased online at mfnc.ca with a credit card or PayPal account.

After your purchase: your tickets will be waiting for you at the banquet or if you wish to make other arrangements, please contact banquet organizer Judy Seligy at 613-832-4287 or by email at tickets@mfnc.ca Seligy is also your contact if you have any donations for the silent auction or items that would make good door prizes.

All net proceeds from the banquet go toward the expansion of the Macnamara Trail.

October/November Legion News JANET TOBIO Royal Canadian Legion Branch 174, Arnprior

The regular weekly and monthly happenings at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 174, Arnprior, continue as usual - bingo, hamburgers, band practice, choir practice, cadets, Seniors at Home luncheons, Golden Valley Seniors, Friday night jam sessions, Saturday afternoon entertainment, group meetings, Legion executive meetings. However I am sad to say this past Saturday’s October breakfast will be our last, at least until further notice. Maybe it is time to change the venue and try something new for the community.

All ideas and suggestions will be appreciated and considered. It’s been a good run, for a long, long time but the time has come to change. Thank you so much to all the true blue supportive people who have attended month after month, year after year.

There’s been some really great entertainment this last couple months with good attendants, and great comments.

We will try to keep things going in that area. Nov. 4 is a great show and fundraiser happening in the main hall. It is a fundraiser for the ‘Wounded Warriors’ program and the entertainment is by a great group with some local talent and something new for this area, at least recently. Blue Grass on the stage with Northern Sons Bluegrass.

Now for the working part of all the fun things that go on in our local legion. It’s poppy campaign time again.

Yes folks, this most important time and efforts for why we exist. The campaign this year as always starts the last Friday of October - the 28 this year through to the Nov. 11 Remembrance Day Service at the cenotaph in front of the Arnprior Hospital on John Street North. As the years pass many of our dedicated canvassers are unable any longer to take part and we always welcome assistance from the community. You need not be a member, but just believe in the cause and want to help look after our veterans. If you have an hour or more to spare, we’d love to have you join the team. Please contact us at the Legion, drop in or give a call. Leave your number and the poppy chair will get back to you as soon as possible. We only have 14 days to make a

difference for those who need us.

This year the Legion is delighted to have two ladies from the Second World War era join the Nov. 11 service.

Myrtle Maveety will lay a wreath on behalf of the Silver Cross Mothers of Arnprior and area. The second lady is a Second World War veteran who served with the Canadian Army in England. Amy Cassidy will receive the salute as the parade passes and returns to the Legion.

As is tradition a parade of soldiers from Petawawa, veterans and Legion members, army cadets, the Scouts, Cubs, Guides and Brownie organization, school children and many from other organizations and citizens of the area will take part in the parade and service.

The other tradition that usually takes place on Nov. 11 after returning to the Legion is to visit with friends, have a light lunch, have a couple short speeches, make a few presentations and renew your membership.

Hope to hear from some of you soon who are anxious to help with the poppy canvassing, renew your membership or become a new member.

The Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Campaign is officially launched annually the last Friday of October.

Pictured is the Mayor of Arnprior David Reid after receiving the first poppy in Arnprior for 2016, from Jan Tobio, second vice and Poppy Chair for Branch 174 Arnprior.

Runners take on Ma-Te-Way

More than 400 runners participated in this year’s St. Thomas the Apostle cross country meet at Ma-Te-Way Park Oct. 14.

Participants came from eight schools. Each runner received a milk, which was donated by the local Renfrew County Dairy Producers and an apple donated

by MacLarens’s Apple Orchard. Left, McNab Public School Grade 5 runner Evans Halpenny reaches the end of the course.

Grade 5 boys set off at the start of the cross country meet hosted by St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School Oct. 14.

Get WITH It! resumes at ADHS EILEEN BROWN

Fall is here and soon we will turn our clocks back. With this our days get shorter and the weather gets colder. Hopefully it will stay mild for a long while yet. However, as the weather changes it makes it more difficult for some to exercise.

There is a remedy for that – come on out to Arnprior District High School (ADHS) and Get WITH (Walking In The Halls) It! The Heart Wise Exercise walking program gets underway for its eighth season on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-8 p.m., beginning Nov. 8 and running until March 9.

Participants will need to register with the program, review a health screening and sign a waiver and then they can work on their health goals by walking in the halls, where it’s warm, safe and well-lit and help is available if needed, on a regular basis.

All members of the community are welcome.

Just show up at the cafeteria to register.

Heart Wise Exercise programs encourage regular, daily aerobic exercise, encourage and include warm up, cool down and self-monitoring with all exercise sessions and allow participants to exercise at a safe level, offering options to modify intensity.

They also include participants with chronic health conditions, with physician approval, offer health screening for all participants and have a documented emergency plan that is known to all exercise leaders, including the requirement of current CPR certification, phone access to local paramedic services and presence of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

It was a battle Friday night.

But the Arnprior Packers were victorious against their archrivals the Renfrew Timberwolves in Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey League action.

The Packers came from behind to win 5-2 on Oct. 28 at the Nick Smith Centre.

“There’s always a battle between Renfrew and Arnprior and especially with me on the other side of things it is definitely different,” said Packers coach Tony Iob, who coached the Timberwolves from 2010-2013. “It was back and forth but we stuck to our game plan.”

The Timberwolves, currently in last place in the Richardson Division with a record of 3-14, got off to a quick start against the Packers who are two points out of first place.

As to holding down second spot after recently losing both games to the Perth Blue Wings, who are in first place.

Iob says the team is preparing for their rematch on Sunday, Dec. 18 at home in Arnprior.

“It is always a battle with Perth,” said Iob. “They are a very hard working team. After the two games against them our guys have stepped up their conditioning and commitment.”

Corey Chaplin and Kurtis Keohane scored in the first place to put the Wolves ahead, a lead they would hold on to until the third period.

In the third period it was all Arnprior as they exploded with five goals.

“We came out slow but once we scored, we got our game going,” said Iob. Captain Daniel Monk had two goals for the

Packers.

“He was the start of it, he’s our best leader to get us going,” said Iob. Tyler Ollson scored on the power play and shorthanded for the home team.

“He’s been getting stronger every game,” said Iob. Jacob Steege got the fifth goal for the Packers unassisted and short handed.

Bailey Hein and Mathew Labrosse each had two assists.

In net for the Packers was Tom Meyerhans who made 22 saves for the victory.

ARNPRIOR 5 FLYERS 3

It was a different story on Saturday, Oct. 29 as the Packers came out quick scoring three goals in the opening frame.

“The message to the team was we needed to play better at the start of the game and we did,” said Iob. “We definitely played a very solid game.”

Payton Jardine, Joe Vaughan and Monk each had a goal in the first period for Arnprior.

In the second, the lone goal came from Monk on the power play assisted by Hein and Labrosse added one more in the third unassisted.

The Flyers did try to come back in the third adding one more and Packers net minder Meyerhans also stopped a penalty shot.

Meyerhans made 23 saves in net for the win.

The Packers have two games this week. On Friday, Nov. 4, they travel to Westport to face the Rideau’s at 8 p.m.

They are home on Sunday, Nov. 6 when they host the Prescott Flyers at 7:30 p.m.

ADHS basketball girls B champs at home tourney The Arnprior District High School senior girls’ basketball team had a very successful home tournament this past weekend and captured the B championship.

In their opening game the ladies faced a very tough LaSalle team from Kingston and battled very hard.

However, a few too many

turnovers and missed shots cost them and they lost the game 53-41.

Katie McIntyre led all scorers with 14 points and Sydney Friske chipped in with eight.

In their second game the ladies bounced back to form with a very fast-paced running game against the

Holy Trinity Crusaders from Cornwall. The team won this game by a score of 71-31.

Once again Katie McIntyre led all scorers with 21 points. Dakota Hanson had 12 points and Sydney Moore and Olivia McIntyre each added 11 points of their own.

This led to the B champi-

onship finals against St. Joe’s from Cornwall. Last week, Arnprior lost to this team in a tournament in Brockville by 18 points and were absolutely dominated.

This was not the case this week though as the Arnprior ladies got their revenge with a 56-40 win of their own.

Great defense and team re-

DR. MICHELLE STEENBAKKERS

bounding was the difference.

Dakota Hanson led all scorers with 17 points and Olivia McIntyre had 14 to pace the team.

The team was set to play host to Renfrew Collegiate Institute on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. in their regular season game and then host a semifinal game Thursday, Nov. 3.

Grade 4 and 5 students its time to hit the slopes with a SnoPass Winter is just around the corner.

Do you know what you are going to do to keep your kids active this season?

Why not put skiing and snowboarding on your list of outdoor activities for your family to participate in?

The Canadian Ski Council (CSC) has a great way to help you out!

The CSC’s Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass is back for its 20th season, just in time for the return of winter.

The Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass is an unbeatable offer, providing nine and ten-year-old children with three lift passes at each of the 158 ski areas, nationwide, for just $29.95.

That’s over 470 lift passes.

SNOWPASS ADVANTAGE

Winter is a tough time of the year to keep your kids active; it gets dark sooner and the temperatures begin to drop. To curb the chances of your

kids spending the whole winter playing on their electronics, why not get them involved in skiing or snowboarding? These winter sports will keep them from feeling the winter blues and instead enjoy some time in the great Canadian outdoors.

HOW IT WORKS

The SnowPass program provides children in Grades 4 and 5 (or born in 2006 or 2007) with three lift passes for each participating ski area, providing them with an opportunity to ski or snowboard hundreds of times over the winter season.

If you apply for your child’s SnowPass while they are in Grade 4, the pass is good for two whole years. This gives your child the proper opportunity to experience all types of ski areas that Canada has to offer.

Applying is Easy: Getting your SnowPass has never been easier.

To get your SnowPass, please visit www.snowpass.ca (or www.passeportdesneiges.ca for French

speaking applicants), where you’ll be able to up- The team at Stittsville Optometry load your child’s picture, proof of age, and pay the welcomes Dr. Michelle Steenbakkers to the practice. Dr. Steenbakkers is small $29.95 administration fee.

currently accepting new patients.

So no matter where you live, you can take advantage of this fantastic offer.

To see the list of participating ski areas, please visit: www.snowpass.ca.

Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass information and applications are now available online at www.snowpass.ca or www.passeportdesneiges.ca. Application forms are also being distributed to elementary schools across Canada beginning in early November.

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, November 3, 2016 29

Booting it throughout the Ottawa Valley W.D. TESSIER

In 1990, Valerie (Val) Penno of Braeside had a dream. As a school teacher, she was already busy helping others learn. But this time, besides teaching school children reading and writing and ‘rithmetic including a little dancing, she started to focus on adults by offering line dancing classes. She has now been teaching line dancing for 26 years and is still passionate about this dance form. She laughs as she recounts that it’s not uncommon now for her to run into “her kids” as she calls her now mature students, who say “Mrs. Penno, I still remember how to do the Tush Push!”

For those who think they know line dancing, Penno says it’s no longer your good old country and western music dance steps nor disco. It is a choreographed form of popular dance incorporating a repeating sequence of steps. Because the dance steps can be in patterns of 32 or 48 or 64 steps, it is also a great memory worker as well as being excellent physical exercise. While it first started in the 50s, like all forms of dance, line dancing evolved to suit new trends, new moves and new music. How does the Burning Love or the Cardio Jive sound? Pretty darn lively, I’ll tell ya!

Line dancing is identical steps performed by a group of dancers in one or more lines, circles, triangles or squares, and also now performed to all genres of music. It also incorporates all kinds of dance moves by both men and women. Dancers can do popular or performance line dance, the former being dancing for one’s self, and the latter is dancing or performing for others. Currently Penno’s performance troupe consists of two gentlemen and eight to 10 ladies, and they are available should you need to fill an entertainment spot for your organization, just call Val at 613-623-7110.

Penno calls her dancers the Valley Booters and together they have made a concerted and continuing effort to bring line dancing to the people of the Ottawa Valley.

Visit their Facebook page to see them in action, and look for her dance events in different local Facebook groups. Her troupe has performed for free at fairs, plowing matches, senior citizen residences, seniors’ clubs, Victorian teas, and festivals such as the local White Pine where the Valley Booters all gladly dance to entertain those attend-

thusiastic teacher will make it past 100. Her students often remark on her phenomenal memory as it’s seldom they stump Penno as to how a dance is done.

It’s a standing joke in her classes when she asks the class after many repetitions “How does it start?” that she’s often the only one who knows as the rest have forgotten after 32 steps. Penno is also supportive of her fellow instructors. For example, she was also a dance teacher and mentor for many years to Hyacinth Chatterton who later went on to form her own dance troupe locally. Both teachers get their groups together occasionally for “dance socials” where dance instructors invited from other areas (one, Ira Weisburd, from SUBMITTED as far away as Florida) come to Val Penno has now been teaching line dancing for teach their groups new dances.

26 years and is still passionate about this dance Penno has also graciously proform. moted Wendy and Denis Tessier who teach couples’ dancing. They also regularly do fundraisers for charitable causes. Costumes for the troupe ing locally as they also perform in Penno’s are de rigueur as they don outfits to suit, troupe as line dancers, but also demonstrate say, a local 50s themed car show, or red and couples’ dances to Valley Booter audiences.

Legion performance to benefit Wounded Warriors this Friday STAFF

A live band plays the Arnprior Legion on Friday night to raise funds for a worthy cause.

Northern Sons Bluegrass Band holds a benefit concert for Wounded Warriors at 8 p.m. on Nov. 4. All proceeds, including CD sales, go to the organization that honours and support Canada’s ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces members, Veterans, First Responders and their families.

Northern Sons is a six-piece bluegrass band originally formed in 1985.

They have performed hundreds of shows during the ensuing 25 years from South Carolina to Timmins, and Connecticut to Nashville.

They have entertained in small coffee houses all the way to 5,000 seat outdoor venues and always delight audiences with their upbeat, family oriented shows.

From 2010 to 2015 they took a five-year hiatus and are now back on the bluegrass circuit with renewed vigour.

A typical Northern Sons performance includes original, traditional, gospel and country standards performed in our unique bluegrass style.

“In every set we try to include an a’cappella gospel number, an instrumental and a Canadian fiddle tune mixed in with a generous helping of humour and energetic stage presence,” said leader Thom Gardiner. “We are noted for our strong harmonies and extensive gospel repertoire.”

Members include Thom Gardiner (guitar, SUBMITTED Thom Gardiner is on guitar and vocals in Northern Sons. The bluegrass band vocals), Marty Coney (bass, vocals), Bill Henry (mandolin, vocals), Chris Wilson (fiddle, vocals), plays the Legion in Arnprior on Nov. 4, 8 p.m.

Glen Adams (Banjo, vocals) and Bruce Compton (Dobro).

Wounded Warriors continues its legacy of care and compassion as the nation’s leading, wholly independent, veteran’s charity focusing on mental health.

Their innovative and wide-ranging direct programming, which will exceed $1 million in 2014, is changing the lives of veterans and their families.

This is only made possible as a result of the compassionate trust and support of individual Canadians and Canadian businesses, enabling them to carry forward our guiding ethos: Honour the Fallen, Help the Living.

REMEMBRANCE DAY

“In Flanders Fields” In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

November 11

The Poppy Is a Symbol of Wartime Remembrance The poppy has stood as the official symbol of Canada’s Remembrance Day since 1921, a visual reminder of all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for war.

Some may wonder why this small flower is used to represent the fallen soldier.

Poppies and fallen soldiers have a long history together. The origins of the flower can be traced back to the Napoleonic wars in France. During these times of unrest and battle, many soldiers went on to final resting places in graves in Flanders, France. Ensuing literature describing how poppies grew so thickly

and vibrantly over these graves — in soil that once could not produce much vegetation. Years later, a soldier would be instrumental in bringing the symbol of the poppy to the hearts and minds of Canadians.

When John McCrae served in World War I as a Lieutenant-Colonel, he was stationed near Ypres, Belgium, the area traditionally called Flanders. McCrae observed how poppies grew so well among the makeshift graves of the soliders, which were marked by wooden crosses. When McCrae lost a fellow soldier and close friend, he penned a poem called “In Flanders Fields” and portrayed the picture of war and the poppy flower visual.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Brought to you by

Mother’s moods fluctuated with the changing seasons With each new season, came a different set of emotions from Mother.

My sister Audrey, who was much wiser, and much older than I was, was aware of it too.

She said it was because Mother, when each season broke, compared it with New York, the city she left, and which still held a special place in her heart.

When Spring came, it never came early enough to suit Mother.

She said, when the snow was still on the ground in Northcote, the parks and streets would already be in bloom in New York.

She said she could even smell the flowers in her mind’s eye, which seemed mighty strange to me. Before I could smell anything, it had to be right in front of me.

Mother said it took ages for her to get the smell of winter out of the house.

Even though the house was cleaned from top to bottom every Saturday, there was always ash and soot from the cook stove being in the closed up kitchen over the winter months.

And then she would lament that in New York, no one had a cook stove, and the only ashes came from the fireplace in the parlour, which was cleaned out every time it was used.

And I would try to picture the fireplace, and I knew there would have to be a very large parlour to hold it, not a little room off the kitchen like we had in Northcote.

“Sure miss New York in the springtime,” she would say.

And when summer finally came, she lamented about the heat that closed in around our old log house like a vice.

The only relief came from rests in the grape arbour on the wood swing, fanning ourselves with folded- up copies of the Renfrew Mercury.

And Mother would talk about the big electric fans that cleared the heat out of the house in New York, and with the sweat poring off her face, I knew her thoughts were a million miles away.

And then there were the summer house flies, that Mother was sure had had a stop in the cow byre before finding their way into the house.

She swatted, and sprayed with enough flytox to kill all the flies in Renfrew County, and she would say, ‘Hardly ever saw a fly in New York.”

And it didn’t matter how tight money was, she could always find enough to fill the hand-pumped can with flytox, and sending everyone outside, she filled the kitchen with the mist that hung like gossamer clouds from the

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

ceiling to the floor.

And she would say the flies carried enough germs to wipe out our entire family! And she would repeat again, that she could count on one hand the number of flies she ever saw in New York.

And when she wasn’t lamenting about the summer flies, she was lamenting about the fierceness of the thunder and lightening that roared through the countryside in the Ottawa Valley.

The log house, with no foundation, shook with every clap of thunder, and with we five children huddled beside her, locked tight inside, we waited out the storm, catching Mother’s fear, and sure that the next bolt of lightning would send us all into oblivion.

And again, Mother would liken the Valley storms with those she saw in New York, where the high skyscrapers, dulled the sounds and where electric lights diminished the lightning. “No comparison” she would say, “no comparison at all.”

And with fall in the air, and the onslaught of winter just around the corner, she would prepare for the long cold days ahead, ever mindful that when the snow came, there was a good chance that we could be locked in at home for days while Father worked at clearing the long lane of the drifts.

There would be no car until spring. And sometimes it would be too bitterly cold to make it into Renfrew 12 and half miles away, and on those Saturdays there would be no eggs, chickens, butter and sticky buns delivered doorto-door to add to the egg-money in the sugar bowl in the cupboard.

And she would sit at night, at the end of the pine table writing in her diaries, and I knew without a doubt, she would be putting into words her memories of another place and another time.

Dorcas Isobel Woermke (1927 – 2016) Our family wishes to express our deepest thanks and heartfelt appreciation to the staff, past and present, of The Grove Nursing Home in Arnprior for their compassionate, daily care provided to our Mom over the past twelve years, while she was a resident there.

We are thankful, also, for the kind attention and thoughtful deeds, words and gestures expressed to our Mom by the residents and many volunteers at The Grove. It gave Mom great pleasure and she derived much satisfaction as a regular, active participant in the numerous activities, Chapel Services and special events at The Grove. Our Mother especially enjoyed all of the wonderful ‘live music’ that was provided by many talented musicians, and their performances, over the years. We are so very grateful for Doctor Christine Schriver and the high level of medical care she provided for our Mom and our late Father, Irvin Woermke.

We will always remember and be thankful to her, for her wisdom, attentiveness, compassion, and exceptional professionalism. Colin Borshevsky, through Senior Citizens Home Support Program, provided excellent service and necessary mobility to Mom for her medical and dental appointments, and social events throughout the community. Thank you Colin, for all that you did to assist our Mom; it was a great help to her, and to us, and is much appreciated. We feel fortunate to have had the enduring support and service of these caregivers, in our community, to help meet our mother’s needs over the course of many years.

Gratefully, Valerie Wereley and Brent Woermke

RECKENBERG, Roger – In memory of a loving husband and father Roger Reckenberg who passed away October 31, 2010.

We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, But all we have are memories And your picture in a frame.

Your resting place we visit, And put flowers there with care, But no one knows the heartache, As we turn and leave you there.

Always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts Rhonda, Dwayne, Brent and Jonathan

We also hope to have a colour party from a local cadet unit. This service has become an important community tradition.

It is open to everyone regardless of their connection to the church. Each year, Grace St. Andrew’s United Church honours the contribution and ultimate sacrifice that many of its members have made serving with the Canadian Armed Forces. Many people look forward to it especially if they cannot attend November 11th services.
