Arnprior mayor’s inaugural address focuses on development, restoring positive relations Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Greenspace and retail development were on the minds of Arnprior council members when sworn .CA .COM Dec. 1 at a formal inaugural meeting held at Nick Smith Centre.

However, like the McNab-Braeside inaugural meeting held the same night (see Page 3), mention was made of the need to repair relations with Arnprior’s closest neighbour and to restore the library and recreation agreements.

Town councillor-elects were marched into the hall by a piper and firefighters in formalwear carrying flags. Members of Red Velvet, Arnprior District High School’s choir, sang O Canada. Town clerk Maureen Photos by Jessica Cunha/Metroland Spratt welcomed the crowd, which included family, friends, a former Cumberland council colleague of newly elected Frank Dugal’s, and Renfrew Four-year-old Oliva Cunningham is all smiles on the Pillar 5 Pharma County Warden Peter Emon.

The town’s top bureaucrat, Chief float during the Arnprior Santa Parade on Nov. 29. Pillar 5 Pharma was awarded the top award for best overall entry and won for best commer- Administrative Officer Michael Wildman, spoke of the tremendous cial entry. For more pictures from the parade, see pages 12 and 13.

amount of work behind the scenes to complete new projects. And how crucial it is to have an elected council that supports public workers.

“It’s a very, very important night here in Arnprior,” Wildman said.

“When you have a council that supports you, it makes it a lot easier.”

He said the election sent a clear message on two points: three returned members and two new. Staff could continue on the course developed last term while incorporating new ideas and changes.

“We will build on the success we’ve had,” he concluded. “To deliver as an administration we have to work together.”

Mayor David Reid won by acclamation. He was first to read from statement that amounts to undertaking an oath: act faithfully and to the best of his knowledge and ability; have not and will not receive payment in exchange for biased or corrupt decisions; will step back from conflict of interest situations; pledge allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II. He received the chain of office

from Wildman, a gold-plated necklace with depictions of local industry and other valued areas. It was first worn by Mayor Tommy Sullivan in 1986.

Reid thanked voters for their confidence, spoke of teamwork to attain goals, and how residential growth will spur commercial and retail growth.

“I do not take this responsibility lightly,” he said.

“While the past four years’ focus has been on finances and administration, for me the next four years is about community building. While much of the consultation and planning has been completed, it is now time to move forward and hopefully build on what is already a fabulous town in which to live.”

He said attracting business is more than just town hall picking up the phone. An open and welcoming council, staff and community are necessary.

The processes and tools must be ready and accessible to help potential new investors. Available and affordable land and building space, properly zoned, serviced and ready to go are important. Now that market conditions are improving, he is confident businesses will prosper in a growing community.

McNab-Braeside council takes oath of office, mayor vows to deliver change Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

News – Slow and steady is the new motto for the completely new McNab-Braeside council according to newly sworn-in mayor Tom Peckett.

He finished off his inaugural address to a full council chamber at the township offices on Dec. 1 with those words.

Asked afterwards why he picked that motto his reasoning was clear.

“I’m the only council member with any municipal experience as I served for seven years on the Arnprior council; the rest of the team has zero municipal experience,” said Peckett.

“So I want to keep it slow and steady.”

The new mayor says he is ready to go and is excited for the new term.

“I feel proud that the people of McNabBraeside have shown this confidence in me to lead them for the next four years,” said Peckett.

The new council is comprised of mayor Peckett, deputy mayor Brian Armsden, and councillors Scott Brum, Heather Lang and Mark Mackenzie.

During the ceremonial portion of the inaugural meeting, Rev. Leo Hughes started things off by telling the new council that on Sunday he shared the word advent with the children at church and that it means the coming or arrival of an important person or an important event.

“Today you have the arrival of something important and some important people, the new

council for McNab-Braeside,” said Hughes.

“With the coming of advent there is tremendous expectation and just as the people of this township live with the great sense of expectation of all the wonderful things you soon-tobe your worship and your council are going to bring about.”

Hughes then referenced the expectations the Ottawa RedBlacks brought football fans.

“Here in McNab-Braeside you have a new quarterback and his name is not Henry (Burris) but Tom, so we are expecting greater results,” said Hughes, with some chuckles from the crowd. “We are trusting there will be far more than two victories for you and your council in the tenure that is ahead, so we wish you well.”

He then gave a prayer thanking those who served the township and the new council. He asked they may be granted with a sense of determination, courage, commitment and vision for great success.

County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon then addressed the new mayor and council calling it a great evening for them.

“You have been chosen by your community.

It’s quite a responsibility and a privilege to serve, a privilege to represent your neighbours, your friends and your community and carry their aspirations and their dreams and then to knit that into a community for the next four years,” said Emon.

“It will be a challenging time and it will be very rewarding.”

arating and fun experience one which he has learned a lot from.

He noted that he has switched from serving on Greater Madawaska council and now is the Reeve of Renfrew.

“It’s going to be interesting re-building that relationship between McNabBraeside and Renfrew,” said Emon.

The mayor, deputy mayor and each councillor then read a declaration of elected office and an oath of allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II. In it they solemnly promised to ‘truly, faithfully and impartially do the best of (their) ability to exercise the office (they) have been elected.’

To finish the night, Peckett made an inaugural address where he thanked a number of people for helping him along the way including the people of the township for their interest

As well he is going to take steps to protect the water resources as protection of the environment is paramount.

He called the farmers of the township critical and is proposing a board of active farmers to meet and advice council of their concerns and arrive at solutions which benefit all.

“You have voted overwhelmingly for change and change we will deliver,” said Peckett.

Some things will remain the same: it will continue to be a welcoming and caring community, where people watch out for each STORE other.

Peckett said McNabBraeside is a proud rural community with a rich history, which they will continue to honour by promoting controlled development, which complements the township’s heritage.

Some of the things, with the people’s support he is planning on changing include delivering an open and consultative government, with clear communication (with social and traditional media updates), and an improved website.

“Commencement of public negotiations for the best possible library and recreation agreements, available with our neighbours will be started early in the New Year,” said

Town hall bids adieu to long-time councillor Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Mark Willmer was given a fond farewell at the Nov. 24 town hall meeting, his last after more than two decades as an Arnprior councillor.

Willmer moved to town in 1979 to take a job in the parks and recreation department. It was said, as a bit of a roasting moment, that Willmer managed to attract many more girls to the swimming pool.

Evidently he had more going for him than looks; winning his first municipal election in 1989, back when councillors were elected to two-year

MARK WILLMER terms.

He said the six or seven elections he ran in were “very positive” expe-

riences. And that transparency and accountability among councils has improved immensely over the years.

Unlike the days when he started and committee meetings were held in private, he noted.

“I think we are leaving the town and its residents in great hands,” Willmer said.

“This is a professionally run municipality now. And it’s true, it is like a business. And I really think Arnprior is a good place to live and work.”

Willmer didn’t run in the most recent Arnprior election, now that he co-owns a ski hill in Barry’s Bay. After suffering from health issues a few years ago, he scaled back from high energy work at the City of Ottawa.

He ran in the Madawaska Valley municipal race in October, but as a relative newcomer and with little appetite for change, he missed winning a seat.

Boil water advisory declared Staff

News - Parts of Arnprior were without water Monday after a contractor damaged a water line in the Baskin Drive area of town.

In response to low water pressure in the area, the Town of Arnprior issued a boil water advisory at 2 p.m. for select water users in the area of Baskin Drive and Fairbrooke Court. The advisory is in effect “until further notice.”

In an updated statement Tuesday morning, the town reported that water service had been by 10 p.m. Monday.

However, the water advisory remains in effect for all businesses and homes in the affected area, the town stressed.

If people in the advisory area are unable to boil water, they should consume only bottled water, advises the town in a news release.

The town hand-delivered boil water advisory notices to all affected properties Monday. “If you did not receive a hand-delivered notice, your property is not included in the boil water advisory,” says the town.

The town is awaiting results of water samples and approval by the Health Unit to rescind the advisory.

The town explains that the advisory was issued because of damage that occurred during drilling operations by a contractor, which led to a loss of pressure in the water distribution system.

A reduction in pressure in the water distribution system means that groundwater or soil contamination could potentially seep into the watermain pipes through small cracks or leaks.

The advisory is issued as a precaution and will be rescinded once the Renfrew County and District Public Health Unit can confirm water in the distribution system is safe to drink. The town is co-ordinating water sampling and quality testing.

The advisory affects the residents of Fairbrooke Court and all businesses in the immediate area that may provide drinking water to members of the public.

the day from his holiday location. He said he was thinking of Willmer and his “very significant” contribution to the town, while also extending his appreciation.

The town’s top bureaucrat, chief administrative officer Michael Wildman, noted that when Willmer spoke it was because he had something important to say.

To the media, Willmer spoke thoughtfully and with compassion for those affected by any by every decision he and his colleagues made.

“It has been really rewarding,” Willmer said. “I appreciate all the support I’ve gotten over the years.”

Willmer is a recipient of the Town Crest, the highest honour Arnprior can bestow upon a resident.

Province explains MTO’s opposition to Daniel Street development derek.dunn@metroland.com

OUT OF GAS?

Fears from natural gas distributors that prices will spike if a pipeline down the Ottawa Valley converts to crude oil has TransCanada issuing letters to municipalities throughout Ontario, including Arnprior.

The company is behind the Energy East project that would see an existing natural gas pipeline be converted so it can be filled with Alberta Oil Sands and other oil from Prairies projects and be shipped across the country to ports in Quebec and New Brunswick.

That has raised fears of a natural gas shortage and corresponding jump in price. That won’t be the case, wrote TransCanada’s Francois Poirier. On the contrary, natural gas prices may actually drop, he added.

“Ontario and Quebec gas customers will continue to receive the gas they need to heat their homes, especially during the cold winter months. Any claim that we would do otherwise is simply false and deliberately misleading,” Poirier said.

“We … will save our customers over $900 million in the next 15 years alone. These are important savings for Enbridge, Union Gas and GazMetro – and it is reasonable to expect that these savings will be passed on to consumers in Ontario and Quebec.”

News – It wasn’t what they wanted to hear, but it wasn’t unexpected either.

The provincial government responded in writing regarding the Ministry of Transportation’s dispute with town hall over the fate of a property on Daniel Street.

Transportation minister Steve Del Duca penned a letter in response to one sent by Reeve Walter Stack, who along with the rest of council is upset that a commercial development next to No Frills was scuttled by safety concerns.

Del Duca suggested traffic is too high along Daniel Street - near the Highway 417 exit ramp - to allow for a possible A&W and similar businesses. He reiterated that the businesses would have to rely on access from the No Frills parking lot.

That was a deal-breaker for the developer.

“I am aware that you were informed in August that the developer’s request for access to Daniel Street from the property of interest was denied due to the ministry’s ongoing safety concerns at this location,” Del Duca wrote.

“We are committed to managing the highway corridor effectively and safely, ensuring the safety of the travelling public.”

Stack wasn’t overly impressed when he raised the contents of the letter at the Nov. 24 town council meeting, summarizing it thus: “They are saying, ‘Thanks, but no thanks.’” However, he was encouraged to see Del Duca mentioned the ministry is “committed to supporting both

economic prosperity and a high quality of life” and that staff want to “achieve a viable development site that provides social and economic benefits.”

If the ministry buys the property, Stack said the town should work with it to find a solution.

Hospital tree-lighting to be held tonight

News – It was the last meeting for every member of McNab-Braeside’s outgoing council.

So Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon was on hand to thank all for their service.

All five members of council lost their seats in the Oct. 27 municipal election.

“Thank you for your service on council,” said Emon at the Nov. 25 final meeting of the 2010-14 council. “Having sat through a couple councils myself, I recognize the time and energy and the ideas you have to generate.”

From time in the community to search out ideas and gather volunteers for projects to the commitments at the council table and then researching and answering emails and other correspondence at home – the job is a challenging one, he said.

“It’s a very difficult and time-consuming task and I want to thank you on behalf of the extended community,” said Emon.

He credited council for all their work over the past four years.

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with all of you over the past four years and I’ve always come away very impressed with your energy and enthusiasm for your job and the willingness you have to share ideas with me. I always gain from that,” said Emon.

“I really appreciate that and I know your community does and I think you’re going to see that response from the public over the next while as you assimilate back into civilian life.”

Emon, the outgoing Mayor of Greater Madawaska, will soon be sworn is as Reeve of Renfrew at the inaugural meeting of town council on Dec. 10. As the only declared candidate so far, he is likely to be acclaimed County Warden for a third term at the Dec. 16 inaugural meeting (the deadline

for nominations was Dec. 2, past press deadline). “ Y o u r community (McNab- Braeside) in a lot of ways mirrors mine – it’s a very quiet one,” he said.

“There’ll be quiet recognition for your efforts.

On behalf of your community and Renfrew County, thank you very much for your effort, it hasn’t gone unnoticed.”

Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon presents a certificate to outgoing McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell at the Nov. 25 council meeting, the final gathering before a new township council was sworn in Dec. 1.

MAYOR CERTIFICATE

Emon’s second order of business was to present a certificate to Mayor Mary Campbell.

“Mary and I had a unique experience in that we were both elected at the same time and have been seatmates for six years,” he said.

“There has been lots of shared confidences and laughing. I certainly on a personal level and as warden, appreciate your efforts.”

He said he enjoyed working with and learning from the McNab-Braeside mayor.

“I took a lot of information from Mary and I took a lot of guidance over the years,” he said. “She always came well-prepared, asked good questions and always thought about the bigger picture.”

Municipalities’ funding drops $13 million, a drop of $654,900 over 2014. Six municipalities actually had their funding increased, but 11 will get less, with some allotments dropping significantly.

Petawawa’s funding is decreasing by almost $200,000, while Admaston-Bromley takes a hit of about $115,000. Greater Madawaska’s funding falls by $7,800, but Horton goes up by $6,400.

The funding formula, which was revised this year, is based on a variety of factors including services provided, property assessment figures and the level of household incomes in a municipality.

Emon said he’s the first to admit he sometimes flies by the seat of his pants.

“It was a great pleasure to have Mary there to slow me down and make me think in detail,” he said.

The first project that involved both communities was the rural connect project designed to bring high speed Internet to rural areas.

“For my municipality and a lot of other communities it was the first big project for which we were able to attract provincial money and Bell Aliant. It was a major step into the dark,” said Emon.

“It involved major co-operation and ended up involving Renfrew, Admaston-Bromley and the county, as well.”

It was a great example of co-operation “That was all done - not in a vacuum – it’s done by working hard and talking and strategizing,” said Emon.

News – Both Arnprior and McNabBraeside will receive less Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund money next year than they did this.

While, Arnprior takes a bigger hit, it will be saving money on policing costs this year, while the township will be paying a great deal more.

According to statistics released at last week’s Renfrew County council meeting, Arnprior will receive just over $1 million in provincial funding, a drop of $142,200.

McNab-Braeside will get $468,200, only $100 less than last year.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Thirteen ways to save your community I

t was sweetness and light, enthusiasm and optimism as the new Arnprior and McNab-Braeside councils were sworn in Monday.

Now comes the blood, sweat and tears.

Unfortunately, it’s not easy being a municipal councillor these days, particularly if you are serving on a rural council. With all the new challenges downloading and the complexities of modern society brings, it is no longer the simple, straight-forward job it once was.

Rural Canada is under increasing pressures and challenges, so much so the very survival of many of its time-honoured institutions, including its governance, is threatened. Senior levels of government have made it clear that municipalities are expected to provide a dizzying array of services.

It’s no wonder that some councillors have come to the realization there has to be more sharing between municipalities in areas such as fire protection, policing, economic development, recreation and waste management.

The council members elected on Oct. 27 will need to be open to thinking outside the box if their municipalities are to survive and thrive in this new climate. They would do well to pay attention to a book entitled ’13 Ways to Kill Your Community’ that was circulated around the area prior to the election. The owners of George Jackson Toyota, unhappy with what they felt was small-minded municipal decision-making, offered the book to any candidates interested (not many were).

The book co-written by a small-town journalist and provincial politician in Alberta spells out 13 ways to make a rural community wither and die. Of course, the real message, which should resonate in the Upper Ottawa Valley, is

how to revitalize your community.

The authors, Doug Griffiths and Kelly Clemmer, warn municipal politicians to beware a number of pitfalls, from living in the past and shirking responsibility to refusing to cooperate with neighbours and failing to act on their area’s strengths and weaknesses.

An effective council supports its local merchants, attracts new business and knows how important it is for a community to make a good first impression (the authors are big fans of Communities in Bloom).

A couple of the book’s suggestions regarding being inclusive are especially thought-provoking. The authors point out that if a community wants to stagnate it should reject change, ignore the views of newcomers, and not respect the contributions of its seniors and youth.

They argue that people moving into an area should be embraced for their decision to choose it as their new home and not be discounted because their fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers didn’t live there.

Newcomers bring in fresh ideas untarnished by past biases, appreciate their new home and tend to be enthusiastic volunteers in efforts to make it better (if allowed to contribute).

Both past Arnprior and McNab-Braeside councils made efforts to encourage citizen involvement in municipal decision-making with varying success. The new councils should come up with their own ways to encourage ratepayers, including those new to the community, to contribute their ideas and talents.

The new councillors should be open to embracing all the help they can get from their communities over the next four years. The survival of our rural way of life may depend on it.

There are ways to counteract violence against women

Root causes

These fears reflect the concerns of all survivors of sexual violence. They also point to the many root causes of low reporting and conviction rates of sexual assault in Canada.

For example: • Many survivors do not report due to stigma, embarrassment, self-blame, a fear of not being believed, and concern for repercussions in their personal relationships – particularly when the offender is a friend, family member, acquaintance or co-worker.

• The majority of sexual assault offenders are in fact known to the victim in some way.

• Acquaintances, friends, dates or relatives are more likely to use tricks, verbal pressure, threats, negative consequences, or victim-blaming rhetoric (i.e. “You know you wanted this”; “If you tell about what happened here, you will be in trouble”) during episodes of sexual coercion. This inevitably impacts upon a victim’s ability to react, resist or report what happened.

• False allegations of sexual assault are not a common social problem. Accidental misunderstandings of consent during sex are not a common problem. The laws on consent are clear. What is a common social problem is; (1) the reality that survivors of sexual assault are regularly not believed or supported when they disclose their experiences of violation and (2) offenders are not held accountable for their actions. In reality, the majority of all reported sexual assault cases are simply not reported at all (less than 10 per cent) – and those that are reported are not always resolved through the

criminal justice system. Due to the limits of to the person who is victimized, instead of the long way toward the prevention of violence.

To the Editor: We at Women’s Sexual Assault Centre of Renfrew County realize that you are likely to hear many interpretations of the Jian Ghomeshi situation in the community and in the media.

To us, the stories of women who faced sexual harassment in the workplace, physical and sexual violence, and violence in dating scenarios within the chronology cited are unfortunately all too common.

These women’s stories do not detail adventurous forms of sex that included role-play, dominance and submission, or benign miscommunication within BDSM practice. Instead, they reflect these women’s experiences of sexual and physical violence.

We are also aware of survivor-victims’ fear of reprisal for sharing their stories. In the recent cases, many of the women chose not to file police complaints, and the reasons given for not coming forward publicly include the fear that they would be sued or would be the object of Internet retaliation.

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, December 4, 2014 9

Is this another ‘Winter of the Snowies’? Some spotted near Galetta Lifestyle - Each winter brings a predictable array of visitors from the north.

As if watching the calendar, Snow Buntings appear in late fall, and flocks of these white-and-brown birds are seen flitting over fields and along roadsides all winter long.

Also arriving each year, but in a less predictable fashion, are seed-eating finches.

This year Common Redpolls are trickling down from the north, harbingers of a flood to come?

In some winters, Pine Grosbeaks or White-winged Crossbills arrive in our area in huge numbers (events known as “irruptions”), but so far there have been virtually no reports of either species. However unpredictable their presence here might be, we rarely have finch-less winters.

Once in a blue moon winter trees are alive with almost every species of nomadic northern finches.

Those rare events – simultaneous irruptions - make every outing into the woods an exciting and noisy one.

Then there are the Snowy Owls.

Ever since I was a child, I have looked forward to the arrival of these regal birds.

The Arnprior Airport was always a hot spot for them, as were the fields

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way near Pakenham, especially those bordering the Dwyer Hill Road, Shaw Road and Concession 11.

In most years a couple of white owls could be easily located, but there have been winters when much greater numbers were present.

Last year was one. It was the best on record for seeing Snowy Owls, not just here but through much of eastern North America.

An explosion in the lemming population up north last summer resulted in a bumper crop of young Snowies.

When the lemming supply was depleted, the owls moved south. No fewer than 15 were spotted on the Pakenham-Arnprior Boxing Day Bird Count. Already in our local

area, a number of Snowy Owls have been spotted, which is a bit unusual for this early in the season.

On Nov. 21 Ryan Zimmerling observed one flying across 417 near the Galetta Side Road, and Ray Holland and David Campbell independently reported seeing two Snowy Owls in close proximity to each other on the Shaw Road on Nov. 28.

Many others have been seen in the Ottawa area and southern Ontario recently: 11 were reported at Presqu’ile Provincial Park (a new one-day record); and 14 were observed on part of Manitoulin Island.

Interestingly, last year a few Snowy Owls were captured and marked, and some of those birds are being seen this year.

If Meadow Voles are abundant locally, more Snowy Owls should show up in the weeks to come.

But if there are not many voles, the owls will keep moving south in search of richer hunting grounds.

There are signs that at least some Meadow Voles are present.

Michael Runtz Earlier this fall, Rough-legged This Snowy Owl is one of two spotted near Pakenham recently.

Hawks (both light and dark “morphs”) Count is fast approaching, and bebegan to move south through our re- numbers.

I hope there are voles, and that sides, we always appreciate a white gion.

A few of those have remained many Snowy Owls remain here this Christmas The Nature Number is 613-387here, which suggests that Meadow winter.

Reporter departs Arnprior to return to her Renfrew roots

SHERRY HAAIMA But just so you know (and in the interest of starting out on the right foot with my news editor who asked for an introductory column), I’m back.

Having spent five years here working at my hometown paper before venturing off to the bright lights and big city of Arnprior for 10, I’ve settled comfortably into the role of

community newspaper reporter – a job I’m grateful and happy to have.

While deadlines, tight production schedules and tragic stories difficult to comprehend are the cons, meeting new, often inspiring people, learning new things and not knowing quite what each day will bring are among the numerous pros.

Ten years in Arnprior have taught me many things. Among these is the fact that despite a long-time sports rivalry and 30 kilometres difference on the map, Arnprior and Renfrew aren’t all that different.

Sure, Arnprior’s waterfront is more picturesque, Renfrew has better big box shopping.

Renfrew has a Catholic high school in addition to the public one, Arnprior has Willis College. Renfrew has a bigger fair, Arnprior has two ice surfaces and a swimming pool.

However, what both towns and surrounding areas undoubtedly have are caring,

talented, multi-faceted people who work to make their communities not just a place to live, but a home.

It’s those very people I’m looking forward to speaking to, working with and following in the years to come.

(Arnprior resident Tiffany Lepack is replacing Haaima in the Chronicle-Guide newsroom.)

Opinion - Let’s not call this an introduction.

With the recent retirement of senior reporter Steve Newman, we’ve done some shuffling at our Ottawa Valley papers. The changes, thankfully, have landed this Valley reporter squarely right where she began. And it’s a great place to be.

Staff changes aren’t something the average reader even probably notices as they pick up the paper each week to catch up on what’s happening at local council tables, out in the community and, let’s face it, check out all the sales (I know how important those flyers are!).

And because the Renfrew Mercury and the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide are sister papers, quite often copy is shared and each reporter and news editor has a turn on the weekend rotation, our bylines and photo credits in each other’s papers are a common occurrence.

In partnership with

Abandoned rail greenspace, waterfront to be reclaimed: Reid Continued from front

Centre and Gillies Grove.

“This is what will set Arnprior apart from any other community in eastern Ontario,” he said. “Let’s work together to make these lofty goals reality.

They are worthy of our efforts and it is something that each of us will be able to look back on with pride, as being part of something special for a town we all love and call home.”

Mayor Reid also talked of revitalizing the historic downtown core.

The streetscape design is in place and engineering planning underway.

“This project requires a huge financial commitment and hopefully with council’s blessing, we will be able to find the money within our budget to complete this vitally important community project in the next few years.”

The waterfront as a link between the downtown core and Robert Simpson Park, recognized as one of the best waterfront parks anywhere in Ontario, is also important to Reid.

“We have talked about this for decades and while some minor improvements have been undertaken over the years, we are not close to reaching our full potential on this treasured asset.”

He offered no concrete suggestions on the area surrounding the marina. He made no mention of improving Bell Park. He did say “we need to

However, on the now abandoned CP Railway property that runs parallel with William Street, Reid was more direct.

A relative newcomer to town, Dugal spoke briefly, promising – to good-natured laughter - to take no more than two years to get an understanding of the town.

Tom Burnette said after 35 years on one side of the council table as fire chief, he looks forward to sitting on the other side.

Lynn Grinstead is passionate and excited about certain projects, and looks forward to seeing how far the town pro-

gresses in the next four years.

Ted Strike said the retail gap study will go a long way to attracting new businesses, and that many more roads will be paved.

The fifth councillor, Dan Lynch, elected not to speak.

Reeve Walter Stack said residents have spoken loud and clear. Commercial retail development is the number one priority.

Emon addressed the audience of about 30, saying he is a “great admirer” of Reid and congratulated the “progressive council” for its long-term vision.

“This becomes your second family in a lot of ways,” said Emon, reeve-elect of Renfrew.

“Anything we can do at the County of Renfrew we’ll do.”

Reid stepped up to the microphone and razzed Emon with suggestions: bridge and county road upgrades in Arnprior, for instance. Many stayed for refreshments.

According to Majors Rocky and Janice Bishop, many people are generous in a quiet way. “Arnprior is very good at giving to the Angel Tree,” Janice said. “But as you know, the need is greater every year.” As well as the Angel Tree, the Salvation Army has set up a donation kettle at the mall near the entrance of the Sears and Hart store to collect money to help those who need help at Christmas.

Neighbours giving back to those in need by helping local families tlepack@metroland.com

Community – One local family is working to make sure that everyone in this area will have a Merry Christmas.

Karen Kavanagh and her family are organizing Families Helping Families (Arnprior, McNab-Braeside) for the second year in a row.

Thus far, with local donations, they are able to help 41 families in the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside area.

The project started last year after her family wanted to buy a Christmas dinner for a local family in need. She decided to share it on Facebook to see if any friends wanted to join them and it “took off like wildfire.”

They collected enough food, cash and gift card donations from the community and businesses to feed 34 families in the area as well as a new toy for each child, breakfast items and some baked goods.

Although Kavanagh didn’t grow up in this area, she now is proud of the community she calls home.

“This town is incredibly generous. The kindness strangers have shown one another is something I have never been a part of,” said Kavanagh. “I feel privileged to be a part of it.”

Kavanagh has four children ranging in age from two to 11 and says it’s been a real learning experience for them.

“It has shown our kids compassion and that you don’t know everyone’s story just by looking at them,” said Kavanagh. “It’s been an eye-opener that people

in our community are not living with the basic necessities and there are a lot of people in need.”

She notes that some people have asked just for those basic items.

“Some parents are just requesting warm socks and for the kids they need winter boots and they would love to have a turkey,” said Kavanagh.

This year she is running things a little differently as a number of the families in need are being sponsored by another family or group and will receive all the trimmings for a traditional Christmas meal, breakfast items and a gift for each family member.

Some of the 41 families came forth privately/confidentially to her, while others have been provided to her by the Arnprior Food Bank, the NeighbourLink Fountain and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 174 Arnprior, all anonymously.

“When we add more to the list everyone has remained anonymous and when they have given me families all I am provided with is the ages and genders,” said Kavanagh.

Kavanagh is working with the other organizations to ensure that each family is in need of help during the holiday season.

“There is no judgment because we just want to make sure everyone has a full belly and a treat for Christmas,” said Kavanagh.

“Some people just want warm socks and a good meal.”

She wants to let people know that help is available if they are in need and that she needs help as well to make the project a success.

“I think it’s so successful

because people can relate to the families; when you know the ages and genders of the family it makes a difference,” explained Kavanagh. “There are plenty of people in a wide age range and they just need a meal and to know that someone cares about them.”

A complete list of the families in need can be found on Facebook by searching: Families Helping Families {Arnprior, McNab/Braeside}.

There are still 10 families who are in need of sponsor and they still need food items as well.

“People can either donate a few bags of potatoes or sponsor a family,” said Kavanagh. “People can donate a gift cards and we can take care of the purchasing or we are also accepting breakfast items too.”

As well as the more than 30 people who have volunteered to sponsor a family, a number of local businesses and organizations are also helping to make the campaign a success.

The Katie Bears Charity is donating a teddy bear for each child, which is 90 bears.

Lori Cavanagh a local hairdresser, is donating haircuts, Sweet and Sassy Co. on John Street is having a toy drive, and Wes Schnob from the Arnprior Optimist Club donated $250 on behalf of the organization.

Kavanaugh is also hoping to get toothbrushes for everyone on the list from local dentists as well.

The Arnprior PeeWee 1 Avengers hockey team has also decided to forgo doing a gift exchange at their annual Christmas party

and will be donating what they would have spent to the cause. There are also more food drives being planned to help out.

The cut-off date for accepting donations is Dec. 20.

“We won’t turn away anything, but that is when we will be going shopping for any items we need,” said Kavanagh.

The delivery day is on Dec. 23. The volunteer driver is the only other person who knows any of the family’s details, so they can make the special delivery.

For more information or to donate, visit the Facebook event page by searching Families Helping Families {Arnprior, McNab/ Braeside} or contacting Kavanagh directly at 613-899-5801.

Santa to visit White Lake for firefighters breakfast Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Community – There will be two special guests at the White Lake Fire Hall this Saturday, Dec. 6.

Santa Claus will be joined by Sparky the Fire Dog for the annual pancake breakfast with Santa hosted by the McNab-Braeside firefighters at the fire hall, 142 Burnstown Rd. from 7:30 to 11 a.m.

The breakfast is free.

However, in lieu of a fee, firefighters ask people to bring a non-perishable food donation for the Arnprior Food Bank.

Karen Barsoski - the fire prevention officer for public education for the department, station captain for White Lake and a member of the Firefighters Association - says it’s a chance for the department to give back.

“It’s our way of saying thank you for supporting us during the year,”

said Barsoski.

“It’s our way to help out.”

The White Lake Store has partnered with the department and has donated all of the sausages for the event, while the firefighters association takes care of the cost for the pancakes, juice, etc.

Santa will be arriving just after 8 a.m. and each child will receive a special treat from the man in red.

“It’s a nice event. We get to see everyone before Christmas and spread a little Christmas cheer,” said Barsoski.

The annual event has been running for more than 15 years. It started with the firefighters making breakfast for their own children and now it keeps growing and growing.

So much so they need to clear the trucks out of the bay to accommodate everyone.

Sparky the Fire Dog will also be on hand to greet children and hand out Sparky colouring books.

The event is also a chance to educate local residents on the passage of Bill 77, which mandates that a carbon monoxide alarm is now required near all sleeping areas in residential homes, as of Oct. 15.

Barsoski says the department is really trying to educate residents in complying with what she calls an excellent new piece of legislation.

The updates are based on recomnation detectors for what she calls a mendations from a Technical Advireasonable price.

“We are able to get the combina- sory Committee led by the Office tion detectors for a good price and of the Fire Marshal and Emergency sell them at cost for $25,” said Bar- Management and included experts from fire services, the hotel and rentsoski.

The department is also able to help al housing industries, condo owners, residents install the devices and pro- and alarm manufacturers.

Carbon monoxide alarm are now vide more information on the new required near all sleeping areas in legislation.

More than 50 people die each year residential homes and in the service from carbon monoxide poisoning in rooms, and adjacent sleeping areas in CO2: SILENT KILLER Canada, including 11 on average in multi-residential units.

Armed robber(s) steal narcotics from drug stores Advice on perils of social media

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News - Police can’t yet confirm whether two separate pharmacy robberies in the Ottawa Valley are related.

A lone male armed with an edged weapon made away with narcotics from Conway’s Pharmacy in Cobden early Thursday (Nov. 27) in the evening. Last Friday night in Renfrew, an armed male robbed Aikenhead’s Drug Store of some narcotics just after 7 p.m.

Both incidents are still being investigated and it’s too early to say for sure the same person is responsible.

“We have no idea,” said OPP Ser-

geant Rob Guty. “Are they connected?

We don’t’ know. It’s really preliminary right now. There’s a team working on it.”

Descriptions in both cases are similar. Police are investigating the possibility the same suspect is responsible but are so far treating it as though it is two separate people.

At about 5:20 p.m. Nov. 27, a man armed with an edged weapon entered the store and demanded narcotics. He fled the store with a quantity of stolen drugs.

The male involved in the Cobden pharmacy incident is described as: white, English speaking, approximately

5’10” to 5’11”, with a slim build.

He was wearing gray jogging pants, a long sleeve gray hoodie, and a red ball cap.

The suspect in the Renfrew drug store is described as white, 5’10” to 5’11” tall with a skinny build and short, dirty blond hair. He was wearing a red baseball cap, hooded sweater and a pair of baggy blue jeans.

“We’ll probably be assigning more units in patrol of drug stores in Renfrew County,” said Guty.

Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call the Renfrew OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

News - The Renfrew OPP are welcoming an expert on child safety to speak at a public meeting in Renfrew on Tuesday, Dec. 9.

Paul Davis, who brings a wealth of experience in safety on social media sites, will speak at 7 p.m. at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew. He is the president of Social Networking Safety and speaks to thousands of students and parents every year.

The OPP are urging parent and guardians, grandparents

Town’s website offers water boiling advice Continued from Page 5

The town is asking water users in the affected area to bring their water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for all consumption purposes, including drinking; making juice, ice and infant formula; and use in food preparation.

After boiling, the water should be left to cool before being used and can be placed in clean containers to cool in the refrigerator.

Boiled water should be used when brushing teeth. Boiled water should also be used to rinse dishes after washing.

For other non-consumption uses, such as

showering, the water is safe.

However, some residents in the area noted Monday evening that they didn’t have any water to boil or for non-drinking uses.

Additional information on what to do during this boil water advisory can be found on the town’s website at www.arnprior.ca.

PC leadership race heating up, local MPPs not endorsing candidates Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

News – Two local Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) are not disclosing who they are supporting in the Progressive Conservative (PC) provincial leadership race.

The race officially started in midNovember and candidates can file to become a leadership candidate until noon on Jan. 30.

Party members will vote by preferential ballot on either May 3 or 7, 2015 and the results will be announced at the PC Leadership Convention on May 9 in Toronto.

So far there are four registered candidates: Patrick Brown, Christine Elliott, Vic Fedeli and Lisa MacLeod, and Monte McNaughton has declared he is running but has yet to officially file.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski must stay neutral in the race for not one but two reasons.

Yakabuski is the caucus representative on the PC provincial executive and he was also appointed to the Leadership Election Organizational Committee (LEOC), which oversees the election process.

“I was required to sign a neutrality contract as all members of the LEOC

are and as the caucus representative I am expected to be neutral as well,” said Yakabuski.

This committee meets once a week in person or via a conference call to discuss any developments in respect to the leadership race or if any clarifications are needed on the rules of the race.

Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren thinks all five people in the race are hard workers who are getting out to meet as many people as possible across the province.

He is looking forward to the results of the race.

“I am looking forward to a stronger party with a stronger leader that is more responsive to the wants and needs of the grassroots people,” said MacLaren.

But he has been quite open with all the candidates and has not thrown his support behind one particular person.

And he admits he probably will not come out in support of a candidate.

“The people in this riding can choose who they think will be the best leader,” said MacLaren. “That choice is best left to the grassroots party members and people will have lots of opportunity to make a decision.”

Both Yakabuski and MacLaren admit that the leadership race is a good

dak was the first to recognize that.”

He thinks that a new leader will have a different view than Hudak did. “The voters rejected us and went with Liberals, whose history over the last 11 years has been anything but stellar; we have to listen to the people,” said MacLaren.

“The party has to provide leadership that will restore the prosperity to Ontario, which means jobs, wealth, more tax revenue and we have to take control of the debt as it has become very high.”

JOHN YAKABUSKI

LONG RACE

thing for the party.

“Like with every leadership race, your party will get more attention,” said Yakabuski. “The contest itself will generate more interest.”

MacLaren calls it an exciting time for the party.

“Choosing a new leader doesn’t happen too often,” admitted MacLaren.

“We have good people running and that bodes well for the party as they are all creditable candidates.”

MacLaren admits that under the leadership of Tim Hudak the party did not fair very well.

“The last election was very disappointing,” said MacLaren.

“We needed change and Mr. Hu-

Yakabuski says that the race has been developing slowly.

“In reality it is a long contest: unofficially it started when Hudak resigned but officially candidates could register as of Nov. 8,” said Yakabuski.

“It has been building up steam and it will continue to do so.”

He thinks having to be neutral makes him more involved in the race as he is having interaction with all of the candidates’ camps.

With the long campaign, it will give people the opportunity to analyze which person they think will be the strongest candidate in the next election, he thinks.

“No one is running to be the lead-

er of the PC Party; they are running so they have a shot at being the next premier of Ontario and help to bring our party back to the governing side of Ontario,” said Yakabuski.

He says each candidate will be working to build up the party membership, which he thinks will be key to winning the race.

“Those who do the best job at bringing past members back and getting new members, that person is likely to be successful,” Yakabuski explained.

“Although on the preferential ballot system you want to be the second choice of as many people as possible, as it is unlikely one candidate could win more than 50 per cent on the first ballot. With the preferential system, it is very important to be the second or third choice.”

Although he is officially neutral when it comes to the individual candidates, he admits he has confidence that no matter who wins the party will have a strong leader.

“I know four of the five very well and everyone brings a lot of positive characteristics to the table,” said Yakabuski. “All have their own strengths and weaknesses and all have a lot of strong leadership characteristics.”

There will be a leadership debate in Ottawa on Feb. 11, 2015.

The committee received a report on Nov. 25, detailing key milestones in the development approval process of the Royal Bank of Canada in Pakenham, which started in April of this year.

After a number of delays and issues, the building permit was only released on Nov. 3 and the bank is now scheduled to open at the earliest in February 2015. It has originally been

scheduled to reopen around Nov. 24.

The report states “while there has been much speculation to date as per the reasons behind the delays in the issuance of the building permit of the RBC development in Pakenham, the table details that town staff in the building/ planning/public works departments provided a level of service to the consultant and proponent that exceeds industry standard ‌â€? “This is not acceptable to us or the planner,â€? said Coun. Denzil Ferguson. “It appears they dropped the ball on many occasions ‌ this was not our fault.â€? “It’s really nice to ďŹ nd out it was not planning’s fault,â€? said Wilkinson.

News – Mississippi Mills residents have voted to reduce the number of councillors around the table.

The current council has 11 members with one mayor and after a resounding ‘yes’ vote on the referendum question on Oct. 27, the 2018 council will have seven members including one mayor and a deputy mayor.

The question on the ballot stated: “Given that town council is currently composed of 11 members, do you support a change in the composition of council beginning in the year 2018 to seven members, with a mayor and deputy

mayor elected at large, one ward councillor for Pakenham, two ward councillors for Ramsay and two ward councillors for Almonte?�

Pakenham ward councillor-elect Duncan Abbott notes that Pakenham will still be represented. “I would have preferred two, but the council will still continue to function fairly,� said Abbott.

For the question to be passed, greater than 50 per cent of eligible voters had to vote and then greater than 50 per cent yes or no was required.

In total there were 5,313 people who voted on the question with 3,105 indicating yes and 2,158 saying no.

CN rail lines being uprooted on line east of Arnprior News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; To the dismay of railroad enthusiasts, CNR has started removing railway tracks going through West Carleton.

Ronald Gibbins, an Ottawa member of Transport-Action Ontario, reports that the removal of the tracks began last week.

The line from the Fitzroy rail trestle where it crosses over the Ottawa River to Quebec was mostly removed by last Saturday afternoon south to where the railway crosses the March Road, he said.

The CPR railway tracks up the Valley from Smiths Falls through Arnprior and Renfrew to Pembroke have already been removed.

The track from Arnprior through Carp still stands a

chance as a commuter rail, said Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

Transport-Pontiac-Renfrew has lobbied to have the line from Ottawa to Pembroke through West Carleton, the Pontiac and Westmeath saved.

The CNR Beachburg Subdivision from Ottawa to Pembroke was part of the last and shortest distance rail line between Ottawa and Pembroke. The historic railway line used to run all the way to North Bay through the eastern edge of Algonquin Park.

Gibbins noted that in about 2007 there was great enthusiasm in Ottawa Mayor Larry Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day for commuter rail to be implemented on the route. A demonstration trial run was done then carrying various dignitaries using conventional train equipment.

For actual commuter service, equipment

similar to the Ottawa South â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Train would probably have been proposed At one stage Transport-Pontiac-Renfrew was formed to operate this service through the Pontiac and Renfrew County, but the proposed transfer of the rail tracks from CNR to TPR fell through about 2010.

Over objections of Pembroke and Renfrew County, CNR removed the tracks from Pembroke south to the railway trestle at the north end of Pontiac County near Portage du Fort. That fall, Pontiac County, arguing the line is needed for industry and tourist reasons, prevented CNR from removing the tracks with a temporary, then a full injunction until the matter was resolved by the courts. However, Pontiac County eventually lost its court battle.

The same arguments for keeping the line were raised on the Ontario side, but the City

of Ottawa decided it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t its responsibility to fund a $22.5-million railway.

Once it became apparent that CNR was in process of removing the Ottawa end rail tracks last week, serious attempts were made to persuade Ottawa to ask CNR, as a minimum, to retain the tracks in Kanata North for future commuter or community rail applications, said Gibbins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this seemed to fall on deaf ears, or Ottawa is incapable of moving that quickly,â&#x20AC;? he said.

El-Chantiry is the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pointperson on the ďŹ le. He laments the loss, but said without a company to run the trains, there was no business case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are pulling them up as we speak,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have no one to operate it, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a go of it.â&#x20AC;?

Packers lose two to end seven-game win streak INSIDE tlepack@metroland.com

Sports – The Arnprior Packers seven-game winning streak came to an end last weekend.

The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey Junior B League team dropped two games; the first on Friday night in Arnprior to the Renfrew Timberwolves and on Saturday to the Ottawa Canadians on the road.

However, Packers general manager and head coach Bill Griese was pleased with how the team played on the weekend.

“Overall the effort was good, everyone showed up to play,” said Griese.

Last Friday, the Timberwolves needed an extra frame to beat the Packers 5-4.

The Timberwolves had 59 penalty minutes on 12 infractions, while the Packers had 69 minutes of penalties on 17 infractions, Griese called it a typical game between the long-time rivals.

“A lot of the kids know each

other outside of hockey, but once they put on the uniform the rivalry bubbles up and it makes for entertaining hockey,” said Griese.

“It was an excellent hockey game.”

The Packers got on the score sheet first with a goal by Liam Killeen just 22 seconds into the game assisted by Dallas Farr and Chris Deschamps, Renfrew tied it at the 17:14 mark and Killeen added another at 18:27 of the first period.

“It was his type of game,” said Griese of Killeen’s play.

“He likes to battle in front of the net and had a number of opportunities for us.”

The lone goal of the second period came from Scott Conroy of the Timberwolves.

Luc Deschamps had two goals in the third to put the Packers ahead 4-3.

The Packers then had a late slashing penalty and the Timberwolves tied it on the power play.

In overtime Griese says they

had a number of chances to put the game away.

“Then we missed a chance and they came right back down and scored,” said Griese.

Cole Allard had the overtime winner for the Timberwolves from Alex Campbell.

Dominic Plaschy made 34 saves for the Packers in the loss.

“He always plays well for us,” said Griese.

“It’s huge when one of your best players is your goalie.

You can’t go wrong because we have a shot to win every night.”

Arnprior 2 Ottawa 5

Griese admits fatigue might have been a factor for the team Saturday as the Renfrew game ended late and the game against the Canadians had an early start time, 5 p.m., but the team play hard, which he says is a testament to the player’s commitment.

On Saturday, the Canadians

beat the Packers 5-2 after an explosive third period.

The game was tied 2-2 going into the final frame with goals from Isaac Perreault and Michael McGrath for the Packers.

“We had seven or eight great chances to put the game away in the second with four breakaways,” said Griese.

“We pressed to tie but just couldn’t capitalize on the power play (1/9) and that came to bite us.”

Plaschy was also in net on Saturday night making 31 saves.

Arnprior curling Valley home tour, newly renovated hall a hit Sports - The Arnprior Curling Club’s Old Country Christmas in the Valley Home Tour Nov. 22 was well attended with 325 guests.

A variety of homes (traditional, vintage and modern) were well received by all of those who attended.

The club’s decorated entrance brought back many memories of Christmases of long ago and guests were greeted by formally dressed doormen, who were much appreciated by the ladies.

A lovely tea was held in the upper

hall, which was served by many of our members. As well, there was an array of baked goods for sale along with a silent auction of wide-ranging items.

The newly renovated hall at the curling club was formally decorated for the Christmas season and highlighted the newly refinished floor, new decor details and paint updates.

Many commented on how the hall would make an excellent wedding or party venue.

As part of the Old Country Christ-

mas in the Valley theme, an old silver tea set, which dates back to the 1890s and was a donation to the Arnprior Museum by the curling club, was returned for the occasion.

Tea was poured by Isobel Munro, a member of 55 years, who remembers the tea set being used at high teas and socials.

The committee thanks all of the merchants, members and the public for their support. The funds raised will be used to continue the building updates.

Sports – The Arnprior Juvenile Packers came from behind to win 5-4 over West Carleton Nov. 29.

After a 12-day layoff, the Juvenile Packers hosted the West Carleton Warriors 1 team on Saturday.

West Carleton took great advantage of the rusty Packers, scoring three goals in a spread of 45 seconds during the first period. You could hear the crowd gasp with disbelief.

Would this be the Packers first loss of the season?

A highly charged Jake Dunn said no way was our team going to take this and started the Packers scoring with an unassisted goal at the 17.49 mark of the first period.

West Carleton responded with another goal with 1:35 remaining in the first to make it 4-1.

The Packers coaches put Mike Cheslock in net for the second and third periods.

Dunn took charge and scored 34 seconds into the second period setting the tone. Dunn’s goal was assisted by Liam Dey and Braeden Broome.

The crowd came alive and cheered on the Packers. Chad Brennan scored unassisted at the 6:46 mark of the second narrowing the gap. Boden Zvonarich tied the game at the 9:52 mark of the second period with assists from Brennan and Broome.

Both teams were fired up going into the third period, skating at an unbelievable pace.

The action was none-stop until defenseman Allen Gray scored the winning goal for Arnprior with 8:34 remaining in the game.

The Packers received a penalty with 4:11 left and West Carleton pulled their goalie for a two-man advantage, but Arnprior goalie Cheslock kept his cool and held off the hard-charging Warriors for the 5-4 win.

Major ringette tourney coming town Sports – Arnprior will be flooded with ringette players this weekend at the Arnprior Minor Ringette Association holds a major tournament.

Human decency and respect for peace are waning: War hero

well rehearsed ones will be told over the threehour-long interview on this cold and sunny Friday afternoon.

Battlefield maps will be drawn. Grainy black-and-whites shown. Even a humorous anecdote or two shared, because war is nothing if not a celebration of the absurd.

Still, after fighting with bravery and valour, after returning to a Fitzroy home with his war bride, Nancy, where he raised 11 children on a handyman’s uncertain earnings, Clouthier has something to share about human decency.

The war hero has something to say about peace.

Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – French Ambassador Philippe Zeller recently penned the following to an old man living in a modest but tidy little home on the outskirts of Arnprior.

“This distinction illustrates the profound gratitude that France would like to express to you. It is awarded in recognition of your professional involvement in the liberation of our country. Through you, France remembers the sacrifice of all your compatriots who came to liberate French soil, often losing their lives in the process.”

Profound gratitude. Liberation. Sacrifice.

Important terms all, no doubt.

But the 92-year-old man in a kitchen chair with yet another medal on the table – this one the Legion of Honour recently presented him in Ottawa – only hears one: compatriots.

He loathes war and fears a third is on the way, so he accepts the hunk of shiny metal while attributing a private meaning.

“I’ll wear it for those that didn’t get a chance to wear it for themselves,” Wilfred Clouthier said.

He has war stories. Plenty of them. A few

***

Compatriots is a fancy word for war buddies. War buddies is a vaguely flippant term for friends and acquaintances.

It is that friendliness, that willingness to connect positively with others that set Canadians apart from Europeans and others, Clouthier observed. At that time Canada had no prolonged history of mutual animosity, only a recent history it was doomed to repeat.

“The Canadians were always generous to everybody, no matter who they were. Even Germans - they were treated with respect,” Clouthier said.

“English soldiers were poor. So you’d share a Black and Tan (beer). Word got around … (in Germany) villagers hoped to be taken prisoner by the Canadians. Most of them wanted to immigrate to Canada.”

There was still a war to wage, obviously.

Second World War veteran Wilfred Clouthier of Arnprior was recognized recently

by France’s representative in Canada. He helped chase Germans from the country, but appears less proud of his accomplishments than fearful a third major war is looming.

Many in the coastal towns of Dover, Briton and Hastings – where Clouthier found himself – didn’t like soldiers of any kind. Soldiers drew

fire. And as those who comprehend the hard reality of war understand: villagers and other innocents pay the heaviest price. Clouthier’s war was the deadliest of all time with more than 60 million killed; 40 million of them civilians.

Women. Children. Babies.

It probably didn’t help his attempt at keeping a low profile when he stood in the middle of a town to shoot down enemy aircraft. A viral young man, strong, courageous, relatively well armed – and compelled to protect.

“I just took my Browning off and stood out in the street and started shooting down planes.”

It sounds bad ass, like Rambo taking on the Establishment. But, again, the compulsion was all. The Germans were bombing Mother England. War means something more to those who have had it reach their shores, even adopted shores.

Clouthier didn’t feel like Rambo by any stretch. He knew guys who were all gung ho to ‘kill the Krauts,’ to shoot up everything that looked sideways at them. But he didn’t behave that way. That way got you killed.

“None of them are around anymore.”

It was a coping mechanism, to be sure. Bravado offers the same false courage booze provides. But it is also supremely selfish. Courting danger puts your fellow soldiers at risk. That and the fact that those who rave on about killing their fellow man don’t actually believe their own bluster. Certainly not the one Clouthier talked down.

The guy pumped out his chest and told Clouthier he was going up to that farmhouse, the one everyone for miles around knew harboured Germans, and fill them with slugs.

The Arnprior-raised lad who rose quickly through the ranks, the non-drinker, knew Germans were hiding there.

Even the Germans are our brothers: Clouthier “I was one of the seven to come out of there.”

That was one of the epic moments often shown on History Channel and talked up by war historians. Less so the dull days spent travelling up and down Great Britain. Part of his training in Scotland involved honing survival skills in the forests. He recalls breaking into a basement window to steal supplies.

This was a time when the Germans were trying to figure out where the Allied invasion would touch down in continental Europe. A major assault at Calais made the most sense; it was closest to England. Instead, as every school child learns, the Normandy invasion saw the Canadians storm the beach at Juno, one of five landing points.

Clouthier wasn’t among the DDay troops. The idea was to spread *** out the forces geographically and in A tank commander, Clouthier was time. Once there, though, the boring the guy with his head out the turret days crawling up and down dour old telling the other four below what to England were a world away. Mando and where to go.

Novelist Kurt Vonnegut chuckles from the grave. You could say they were literally under house arrest.

Farmhouse arrest. That was good enough for Clouthier. “‘You’re going to do something?’

I said to him. ‘What do you think you’re going to do? You’re going to walk up to a guy and shoot him? I don’t think so.’”

Somehow it is necessary to kill people when they are strapped into a war machine, but not when they hide under another man’s bed.

“We’re all brothers. That’s the attitude to have,” Clouthier said.

The absurdity of war.

War causes lifelong horrors to soldiers Continued from page 33

Got Events?

Yet there seem more and more gung ho types holding power, in the media, in the general population. The War of Terror is an Orwellian war in perpetuity.

A dramatic beheading strikes fear so deep that few question the honour and effectiveness of our lashing out. Our leaders cavalierly dispatch troops, with indifference masking as approval from the public. Who fully understands the videogame images that flash across our TV screens from some distant land?

A former soldier does.

After getting the shrapnel plucked from the back of his skull, Clouthier heard the call from his hospital bed in England.

“There was a call for experienced crew commanders. They told me, ‘You did alright, Clouk.’ You can stay.”

But he couldn’t stay. “Too many of my friends were still ahead of me.”

So he returned, this time to Holland and Germany, mostly to sift through the bodies. His driver was another Arnpriorite – Kenny Pultz.

Clouthier would have 13, 14 injured prisoners on his tank at a time. All looking for a cigarette and passage to Canada. That was a country that didn’t sacrifice generation after generation to the futility of war.

“People have no idea what a war is,” Clouthier explained. “The First World War was started because of hate. The Second World War was started because of hate. And there’s too much hate going on in the world right now.

Too much. There will be a third.”

Canada and other western nations are creating too many enemies. They should lead with stoicism, tolerance, and act as a beacon of decency. Instead we lash out with fear and arrogance, he implied.

“Too many people are quick to hate and not forgive.”

He reminds that many hardworking, honest German families have long lived in this region. He commiserated with a German woman at the clinic a

Wilfred Clouthier recently visited the site of places he fought during the Second World War. Above he looks at a river he crossed when his company entered Germany. He says there is too much hate in the modern world, and that a third world war is looming. few days ago. Forgiveness is possible.

Clouthier is no Kumbaya-singing hippie.

He has pride and courage and a moral compass. And he is far from a naïve old man to be coddled from the complexities of the modern world.

Heck – no less than Tommy Sullivan himself called him “son-of-a-bitch” every time they met.

But the effects of war have dogged Clouthier to this day. He anticipated bad dreams after the interview. Many a night in Fitzroy over the years his wife would jostle him, say to stop kicking her. That’s when he would go out to the garden at 2 a.m., pick weeds for hours on end.

There was an incident involving alcohol with the town police chief. His reputation took a bat-

tering. His wife and kids were affected by his war experience.

He couldn’t even work at Kenwood Centre.

They told him the war meant working indoors was off-limits. So he scrapped by doing odd jobs in Constance Bay and elsewhere.

Little of that stuff makes it onto the History Channel. Few starry-eyed war historians talk about such banal off-battleground occurrences.

However, perhaps the bravest thing this war hero ever did – something even in today’s touchy-feely world remains taboo – was to meet with a psychiatrist. He managed to talk it out.

“I knew alcohol wasn’t the answer. The best cure is to speak about it.”

And to speak against it. For the sake of those who didn’t get the chance.

SENIORS

Familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good fortune was disappointing for Mary Lifestyle - Going into Renfrew every Saturday for a couple hours while Mother delivered her wares and shopped for her weekly supplies was excitement enough.

Going into Renfrew for an entire day was pure rapture. Imagine! A whole day from early morning until the big clock in the centre of town told us it was time to head back out to Northcote.

This only happened once a year, however. That was the day, usually in early December, when Turkey Fair Day rolled around.

The excitement out on the farm would be at fever-pitch for days. And the night before, I was sure Mother and Father never even bothered going to bed.

Chickens, turkeys, and a few geese would have to be ready. That meant making sure there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a feather in sight, the legs trussed up with string, and the necks tucked under.

Fresh butter wrapped in wax paper, and Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous sticky buns sitting on pieces of square cardboard would be added to the fowl, in the hopes of earning a few extra dollars.

Before we children went to bed, we saw Father hitch up the team and bring the big flatbottomed sleigh to the kitchen door, to cut down on the time needed to get an early start into Renfrew the next morning.

My sister Audrey had made sandwiches and packed them in separate brown paper bags with a couple oatmeal cookies, which would be our lunch, since we expected to be in Renfrew well into the afternoon. We would be leaving the farm early, after a hasty breakfast.

Before we children were even out of bed, Mother and Father would have arranged everything on the flat bottom sleigh, on top of layers of quilts covered with sparkly white flour bag sheets, and more blankets on top.

Each foul had to be placed just so if we hoped to sell them quickly. We knew the butter and motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sticky buns would go as soon as Father parked the sleigh.

Parking the sleigh was another reason for going in at the crack of dawn. Where you parked was of prime importance. You hoped to be right in the centre of the main street. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the townspeople would be walking to look over what you had to offer, but more important, the big buyers, the men who came yearly from Ottawa, would concentrate on the centre of Raglan Street.

Of course, with the big sleigh covered with all the stuff Mother and Father hoped to sell,

Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories MARY COOK there was no room for us five kids, so we went in the double cutter, following behind, so full of excitement we could hardly contain ourselves.

Since it was so early in the morning, Father had no trouble finding a good spot right in front of Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardware, one of the busiest stores in the entire town of Renfrew. He parked the sleigh, unhitched the horses, and with Everett driving the cutter, they headed for the stables at the end of Raglan street.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long until all the butter and the sticky-buns were gone. I could see Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little change purse starting to bulge. This was going to be good day. I could feel it in my bones!

And the excitement of visiting the Five and Dime store was mounting by the minute.

And then came the men in the long white coats, just like old Doctor Murphy wore at the hospital, over their winter outerwear.

They had red embroidery on their pockets; letting everyone know they were from Canada Packers, and they were all business, let me tell you.

The dream, of course, was to have them buy everything you had on the sleigh in one fell swoop.

They took off their big 80 ELGIN fur mitts and poked the turkeys, lifted a goose high the air and looked it over, and pinched the chickens. They moved away from the sleigh and whispered, nodded, whispered some more, and then moved back to

our sleigh. They obviously made Mother and Father an offer they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t refuse, because I saw one of the white-coated men take a wad of bills out of his pocket as big as pickle crock, and start counting out the money into Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstretched hand.

Another of the men walked quickly away, and before you could pledge allegiance to the flag, a big green truck pulled up beside our sleigh, and they began loading everything into the cavity that looked to me like it could hold two full grown heifers.

And then our sleigh was empty! The look of sheer joy on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face was something to behold.

Father who rarely showed emotion of any kind, kept say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;well, by golly...well, by gollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, as he lit and relit his pipe.

Emerson and Everett were sent to the drive shed for the cutter and the horses, and my dream of a full day in Renfrew evaporated before my eyes.

There would be no trip to the Chinese restaurant where we brazenly ate our bagged lunches, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend a cent. No stop at the

bathrooms at the CPR station, and certainly no visit to the Five and Dime Store to look over the array of toys.

Although Mother and Father couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe their good fortune, with their pockets and change purse bulging at the seams, we five kids felt we had been done out of a day of excitement, all because three fat men wearing white coats cleared our sleigh with one fell-swoop.

Turkey Fair Day was over for another year.

Mother could see our disappointment, and when the big sleigh turned into Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store at Northcote, she made up for it, giving us each a nickel to buy what we want.

Emerson headed for the licorice pipes, the others bought hard Christmas candy.

I asked Mr. Briscoe to cut me off a couple slices of bologna, which I ate before we hit the cutter, so the day wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a total loss after all.

39 WINNERS CIRCLE, ARNPRIOR 36 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, December 4, 2014

Oasis tribute band to perform Arts - An Oasis tribute band is coming to Arnprior this Saturday, Dec. 6 for a concert.

Supersonic will take to the stage at the John St. Pub in downtown Arnprior about 8 p.m.

Tickets cost $10 in advance (available at www.eventbrite.ca) and $15 at the door.

Supersonic is billed as the “quintessential rock n’ roll send-up” to British rockers Oasis.

The band plays with the “note-fornote hooks, sneering looks and raw energy” that made Oasis famous, says a news release promoting the visit.

SuperSonic will bring Oasis fans back to Manchester circa ’95, adds the release.

The concert is the latest in a long line of tribute bands that have come to play at the John St. Pub.

Fair board honours McNab-Braeside senior citizen Sherry Haaima

Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Renfrew Fair director Donna Campbell, right, presents Adele McLeod’s appreciation award to her daughter Lillian Trask. The McNab-Braeside resident was honoured by the fair board for her many years of exhibiting at the fair.

News – McNab-Braeside senior citizen was one of those honoured when the Renfrew Fair board held an appreciation dinner recently.

Adele McLeod, of the Burnstown-White Lake area, received an appreciation award for years of exhibiting at the fair.

Director Donna Campbell presented McLeod’s award to her daughter, Lillian Trask, who accepted on behalf of McLeod.

“This woman is one of the most energetic women I know, her hands are never idle,” said Campbell.

McLeod has been exhibiting in needlework and homecraft for many years and has won numerous prizes for her quilts and homemade bread.

“The domestic science committee waits for Adele to come with her whole wheat bread each season,” said Campbell.

McLeod’s quilts and bread have travelled to district meetings across the area, she said.

McLeod has also been recognized for more than 50 years of volunteer service with the Burnstown Women’s Institute.

Catholic school board staff help keep children warm and dry News - A fondness for shopping and the spirit of giving as Christmas approaches inspired Melanie Lapierre to rally her coworkers to give for a good cause.

The Renfrew County Catholic District School Board finance department collected enough funds amongst themselves to enable Lapierre to buy eight brand new children’s snowsuits.

Members of the finance department presented the snowsuits to Lyn Smith of the Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN) for ‘Operation Snowsuit’, an annual program that provides snowsuits, boots, mitts and hats for more than 300 children locally.

“Thank you so much,” said Smith, “I really appreciate the help. It means a lot when kids come up to me and say thank you.”

The organization collects funds and/or outdoor winter wear for children ranging from newborn babies to youth who are 18 and require adult sizes.

“We’re not just collecting what we need,” noted Smith. “We’re also raising awareness of

the need that exists right here in our community.”

The school board supports CPAN in an overall commitment to engage staff and students in local and global poverty awareness and justice campaigns.

“The CPAN snowsuit program supports children in need in our communities, ensuring they are warm and dry and have the opportunity to participate fully in outdoor school activities. I am proud of the efforts of staff members and the support they have shown,” said director of education Michele Arbour.

In addition to special campaigns, boxes are left at Renfrew County Catholic schools, including St. Joseph’s and St. John XXIII in Arnprior, to collect both new and gently used items on behalf of CPAN. For more information about CPAN programs or to learn how you can help through donations, monthly giving or volunteering, go to http://www.renfrewcountycpan.ca or contact Smith at 613-735-2374, ext.

250, cpan@phoenixctr.com.

Shake the Foundation finds new charity

Community – A fundraiser inspired by the kidney problems of West Carleton firefighter Craig Dunbar has changed its focus from the Kidney Foundation to a Valley hospital.

The 2015 Shake the Foundation Committee officially announced its entertainment line-up for the Feb. 28 fundraiser and kicked off ticket sales last Friday. The launch included a guest appearance by Country 101.1 morning personality Joël Lamoureux.

Shake the Foundation is organized by a dedicated group of volunteers and this year all proceeds will be going to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation as part of its ‘I Choose RVH’ expansion campaign. The event benefited the Eastern Ontario Chapter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada in its first two years, and the committee has now made a long-term commitment to support RVH. “Currently, with the 23,000-square-foot expansion and redevelopment project, we thought it was extremely important to support our local hospital,” says Dunbar, committee member for Shake the Foundation and former dialysis pa-

tient at RVH. “It’s very exciting that we will have this new and amazing facility benefiting everyone in the community.”

This year’s headliner act will include Carleton Place native Jordan McIntosh and country artist Brea Lawrenson. The event will also feature a handful of local performers from across Ottawa and the Valley such as Off Road, Jamie McMunn, and the Douglas Connection.

The line-up is “family friendly and will be fun for all,” say organizers.“ We’re so excited for this year’s line up,” says Dunbar, “Jordan and Brea are both amazing artists and we have a great group of local talent joining us this year. Combining country music in support of a worthwhile cause is always a double bonus.”

This year’s Shake the Foundation event is set to take place Feb. 28 at the Renfrew Armories.

Tickets are available at $15 each. They can be bought and picked up at selected retailers across the Valley. For more information, visit www.shakethefoundation.net.

Humane Society needs votes for Aviva Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Community – Get your paws ready to vote.

It’s all hands on deck as the Arnprior and District Humane Society has made it to the Aviva Community Fund semifinals.

“It’s a great opportunity for us and we are really hoping that the community will get behind us and support our no-kill shelter,” said Belinda Mayer, member of the society’s board.

“Every entry that makes it into the final receives $5,000.”

The contest is vote driven and people can vote once per day for the no-kill shelter.

VOTE NOW

The semi-final round is running from Dec. 1 to Dec. 10 and people can vote by visiting: https://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf19599.

The society is in the $50,000 funding category and according to its entry, they would like to create a new intake room with separate ventilation from

the main building to increase the number of pets they are able to admit.

They are also seeking a spay and neuter program for the local feral colonies to help reduce the stray cat population.

“People should vote for us so we can do our expansion,” said Mayer.

“We are the only no-kill shelter in the Ottawa area, so that’s why pets sometimes stay with us longer and because of that we need the expansion.”

The shelter currently has around 150 cats in its facility and there are several feral cat colonies in the community.

The Aviva Community Fund competition is run by Aviva Insurance and on its website it notes that insurance companies and brokers must understand the little things that matter most to their customers. The competition is another way to harness this support and help the communities where they live and work.

The contest has been running since 2009 and there is $1,000,000 up for grabs, which is broken down into dif-

PET PICS WITH SANTA

Ho, ho, ho will be followed by ruff, ruff, ruff as Santa Claus welcomes pets this weekend for their chance to pose with the man in red.

Pet Pics with Santa is one of the Arnprior and District Humane Society’s biggest fundraisers of the year and it is taking place Dec. 6-7.

Pets can smile for the camera with Santa at the Arnprior Mall between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Children are also welcome to get their picture taken with Old St. Nick.

The photos cost $12 for the first print and $5 for extras (digital copy $5). All proceeds go to the Arnprior animal shelter and humane society activities.

“We are really excited about the digital copies, new this year, so everyone can share their pictures on social media,” said Mayer.

Be on guard for holiday dangers to your pet Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The holidays can be a dangerous time for your pet.

Holiday tinsel and ornaments: Tinsel, while not toxic, is very attractive to pets, particularly cats. If not caught in time, tinsel could actually be fatal as it twists and bunches inside your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intestines. Immediate veterinary care is required.

Holiday lighting and candles: Twinkling, shiny and dangling holiday lights may be another source of danger to curious pets.

Got a pet that likes to chew? Electrical shock may occur when a pet chews on an electrical cord causing tongue lacerations and possible death. Check your holiday lights for signs of fraying or chewing and use a grounded threeprong extension cord as a safety precaution.

If you have candles on display, place them in a hard-to-reach spot

Pet Talk

IAN STUPP

so that your pets can not access them. Not only can pets seriously burn themselves, but knocking over candles creates a ďŹ re hazard and may leave a trail of hot wax that will easily burn the pads of paws and more.

Gift wrap ribbon: You may be tempted to fashion your pet with a decorative (ribbon) collar.

Beware that this could become a choking hazard.

As well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to quickly discard ribbons and bows wrapped around holiday gifts so that your curious companions wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enticed to eat them. Ingested rib-

bon can cause a choking hazard and ultimately twist throughout the intestines, leading to emergency surgery and even death.

Food hazards: Festive events often mean edible treats.

Unfortunately, some of the most popular holiday goodies, such as chocolate, bones and nuts, can be extremely toxic or even fatal to pets. â&#x20AC;˘ Different types of chocolate contain various levels of fat, caffeine and other harmful substances. The darker and richer the chocolate (i.e., bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chocolate), the higher the risk of toxicity. Depending on the type and amount of chocolate ingested, dogs may experience vomiting, diarrhea, urination, hyperactivity, heart arrhythmias, tremors and seizures. â&#x20AC;˘ Fat trimmings and bones are dangerous for dogs. Fat trimmed from meat, both cooked and

uncooked, may cause pancreatitis. And, although it seems natural to give a dog a bone, a dog can choke on it.

Bones can also splinter and cause an obstruction or lacerations of your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digestive system. â&#x20AC;˘ Abundant in many cookies and candies, certain nuts should not be given to pets. Almonds, non-moldy walnuts and pistachios can cause an upset stomach or an obstruction of your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throat and/or intestinal tract. Macadamia nuts and moldy walnuts can be toxic, causing seizures or neurological signs.

Lethargy, vomiting and loss of muscle control are among the effects of nut ingestion.

Keep your pet on her regular diet and caution visitors against giving your pet special treats or table scraps. For a full list of toxic foods, visit our toxic food guide for pets.

Toxic holiday plants:

They may be pretty, but some holiday plants are poisonous, even deadly.

As little as a single leaf from any lily variety is lethal to cats. Others to avoid include: â&#x20AC;˘ Christmas tree pine needles can produce oral irritation, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, trembling and posterior weakness. â&#x20AC;˘ Holly, commonly found during the Christmas season, can cause intense vomiting, diarrhea and depression. â&#x20AC;˘ Mistletoe, another Christmas plant, can cause signiďŹ cant vomiting and diarrhea, difďŹ culty breathing, collapse, erratic behaviour, hallucinations and death when ingested.

www.cherylgallant.com If anything demonstrates the difference between a national Conservative government that implements policies that help Canadians, and what is being proposed as policy by an Official Opposition in Ottawa, it is our approach to energy and the environment.

We believe that a prosperous economy, a vigorous society and a healthy environment complement one another. When we became the Government of Canada, our Prime Minister refused to follow the old policies of the previous government that used â&#x20AC;&#x153;junk scienceâ&#x20AC;? on the environment. They signed an international agreement with no plan, that would have resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of jobs. In the economic downturn we just passed, countries that implemented junk science policies on the environment suffered. Canada, it is recognized, weathered the recession better than any other modern economy.

Canada accounts for less than 2% of global Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and has one of the cleanest electricity systems in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with nearly 80% of our energy coming from nonemitting sources. By comparison, the U.S. and China account for 39% of global GHG emissions. In 2012, greenhouse gas emissions in Canada were 5.1% lower than 2005 levels, while the economy grew by 10.6% during the same period. Percapita carbon emissions in Canada have fallen to their lowest level since tracking began. The first 21 years of our new coal regulations are expected to result in a cumulative reduction in GHG emissions of about 214 megatons, equivalent to removing some 2.6 million personal vehicles from the road per year over this period.

If someone would like to know what a job-killing carbon tax looks like in Canada, look no further than the â&#x20AC;&#x153;global adjustment,â&#x20AC;? (GA) line on an electricity bill from provinciallyowned public utility Hydro One. It is now estimated, that 80% or more of a residential electricity bill is a carbon-type tax on consumers, forcing them to pay for â&#x20AC;&#x153;green ideologyâ&#x20AC;? schemes that create more energy poverty among our seniors and others on fixed incomes with each scheduled rate increase. Worst of all, these energy schemes do nothing to help the environment.

Community – Santa Claus is coming to Pakenham this weekend.

The man in red will arrive this Saturday, Dec. 6, with the parade starting at 1 p.m. from the Stewart Community Centre. The parade travels around to Highway 29, back to the community centre (same route as Canada Day).

Last year the parade had about 50 entries.

“Pakenham has tremendous community spirit and the parade is always packed with unique floats,” said Tiffany MacLaren, community economic and cultural co-ordinator for the Town of Mississippi Mills.

The parade also loops around the route twice.

“Last year the parade was so long, when it was going around the second time it actually met at the end,” MacLaren remarked.

The Town of Mississippi Mills recreation and culture department is inviting businesses, schools, churches, community groups and neighbours to

News – The Pakenham and District Civitan Club is asking the Town of Mississippi Mills to partner with them for the annual Frost Festival, which takes place in the Village during the end of January.

Doris Rnkin, president of the club presented to the town’s committee-ofthe-whole meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 25 and asked that the town views the Frost Festival as one event in order to capture a number of events held over two weekends and some weeknights.

Rankin told the committee that everyone in Pakenham has found memories of the festival, which she says is about healthy activities and a fundraiser for the club.

join in the celebration by participating in the parade.

“It’s a whole community celebration and it’s great to have a variety of organizations represented,” said MacLaren.

There is no cost to enter the parade. Anyone who would like to participate in the parade is encouraged to register at the community centre 45 minutes before it starts.

This year the theme for the parade is winter fun.

“There’s a lot of ways people can go with it,” said MacLaren. “From snowmobiles, skiing, snowball fights and more. The committee tossed around a few ideas and winter fun seemed to have a lot of options.”

There are two prizes up for grabs at the parade, both sponsored by the town: Best Entry and Best Use of Theme.

After the Pakenham parade there is free skating at the arena, as well the Thunder Grill will have free hot dogs and free hot chocolate.

To close out the event, Santa will be upstairs at the community centre greeting children.

LIGHT UP NIGHT It’s quite the weekend in Mississippi Mills as on Friday, Dec. 5, with the annual Light Up The Night celebration starting Friday, Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. on Main Street in Almonte.

This year, Joël Lamoureux of Country 101.1 will be hosting the open-air concert with Robin Moir.

Entertainment this year includes Canadian country music star Tracey Brown, singers Kelly and Kaylen Prescott, Christmas puppets, My Town Has Talent winners, and the Almonte Academy of Dance featuring the Snow Queen and Twinkle Fairies.

It is also the third year in a row for a night parade in Almonte. This year it is set for Sunday, Dec. 7 at 5 p.m. starting at the Almonte Community Centre (182 Bridge St.).

After the parade, Santa will be upstairs at the arena as well there will be free skating, free hot dogs and hot chocolate donated by the Almonte Lions Club.

For more information on the parades or to volunteer, call 613-2561077.

Last year they had 100 volunteers for a total of 500 community volunteer hours and the club is only comprised of 32 members.

“It’s to embrace winter activities,” said Rankin. “Not all of them are sports but almost every winter activity is covered. As you can imagine it attracts seniors, young people and people from other communities.”

The issue she said affecting the festival is the cost and the pricing structure of the arena and Upper Hall.

They try to plan around the community centre using church halls, the school and curling club, but she notes these venues are not accessible, have no parking and are not large enough.

“In the interest of ensuring that this event continues and remains strong after so many years. The Ci-

vitan Club is requesting that Mississippi Mills partner with them as it does with other events that define Mississippi Mills,” said Rankin. “We are not asking not to be charged but we would like the town to look at it as one event.”

Coun. Denzil Ferguson told the committee he remembered the first Frost Festival 50 years ago.

“Certainly we could come up with some sort of innovative funding for this and other groups,” said Ferguson.

Coun. Duncan Abbott noted the club had come up with a number of proposals to help.

“I think there is some flexibility, some money on this list can be saved.”A report will now come to the committee on Dec. 9.

Thank You

I could not have made it through this difficult time without the love, support and strengths of our friend’s thank you from the bottom of my heart.

To the ambulance attendants, dr’s, nurses at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and to all the wonderful nurses from Rivera, especially Amanda, Cathy, Jenn and Sherri. You made Joey’s wish to be home come true.

A very special thank you to Joey’s wonderful friends who were pallbearers, Gerard Blimkie, Ron Hass, Rick Villiemere, Rick Culligan, Marty Voldock, Jeff Clark, Art Smith, Dan Strachan, Don Froats, Kerri Hisko, Mark Cybulski and Brad Coulas who could not be home but was in our hearts.

Thank you to Nicole and Gerard Blimkie for hosting the luncheon, without your help it could not have been possible.

To Polly Sackman, thank you for your wonderful food trays.

A extra special thank you to my wonderful boss and friend John McInnes and family for all your kindness and support while Joey was sick. You made it possible for me to be home with Joey for his last months of life.

Lastly to Goulet Funeral Home and Deacon Don for their wonderful compassion through those most difficult days. Natasha, your professionalism goes above and beyond.

To Aly B, thank you for making your “Daddy’s” last few days happy ones.

Cherish those memories forever.

Forever grateful to each and everyone of you. Sue To Sue Cotie, my dear friend. What can I say? Thank you just doesn’t seem enough.

Day after day you come to our home and did what you could do to make Joey’s last month’s happy ones and mine bearable.

When it was unbearable for me you gave me the strength to get through the day.

I thank God that when it was time for Joey to leave me you were right there by our side. From our hearts Sue, Joey and I thank you and we love you so very much.

“Joey, you did not take your journey alone, for some of it I went with you” Sue.

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!
