Bone-afide Santa admirers Tucker, a four-year-old, Boxer mix, and Rocky, a one-year-old Husky mix, meet Old St. Nick at the Arnprior Humane Society’s Pet Pics with Santa Saturday at the Arnprior Mall. With them is Tucker’s owner, Sam Tripp of Arnprior. Rocky is owned by her mother, Bonnie Tripp. Business was steady for the annual fundraiser that plays a key role in ensuring the society can continue to operate a no-kill shelter in Arnprior.

News – Arnprior wants interim recreation and library agreements deal in place while entering a new round of negotiations with McNab-Braeside.

Council agreed Monday to make the same offer rejected last spring by the township’s former council. The town hopes McNab-Braeside will contribute $48,353 to library costs and $794,835 to recreation (largely to the Nick Smith Centre).

The deal would run from Jan. 1 until the end of June.

Mayor David Reid presented the resolution at town council’s Dec. 8 meeting. He worded it in such a way that most members of council were concerned Reid and town CAO Michael Wildman would decide the process and outcome of negotiations.

Reeve Walter Stack and others said they have a problem with politicians determining how much each side will contribute to the services. Stack said the issue has caused bad feelings for many years largely because politicians have been at the helm.

He is OK with Reid and the town’s top bureaucrat discussing a committee process with

Redmen logo removed, name remains for now Derek Dunn

News – The local high school continues to remove images and logos that depict aboriginal stereotypes some many deem offensive.

Arnprior District High School (ADHS) for the last five years or so has undergone a gradual rebranding that has seen the removal of an image on the big gym wall of an Indian chief in headdress.

Other images and logos have been removed, the latest being spears on football helmets after the end of the 2014 season. The school’s Twitter image was changed on Monday.

There hasn’t been a movement to drop the Redmen name.

The issue was picked up by CBC Ottawa who did television and radio segments this week.

They followed up on a tweet by native activist Ian Campeau in October asking the school to consider changing its name.

GACC welcomes new board of directors Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Urban Sport was the site of this year’s annual general meeting and Christmas social attended by more than 50 members of the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce (GACC).

Outgoing president Wes Schnob talked about the many charitable events the group participated in, including It Shouldn’t Hurt to be a Child, White Pine Festival, Concerts in the Park, and more.

The breakfast meetings were well attended, and GACC’s annual golf tournament raised $3,000 for scholarships for students at Arnprior District High School and St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew.

This being an election year, the organization also took on the task of organizing all-candidate debates in both Arnprior and McNab-Braeside.   Schnob also mentioned the inaugural Home and Leisure Show, brought back after a 20-year hiatus. Although considered a success – with 40 vendors at Nick Smith Centre during a weekend in May – improvements are promised for next year.

His two-year term is winding down. Among those he thanked was town marketing and economic development officer Lindsay Wilson, who did much for the Buy Local campaign.

Schnob also welcomed new president Murray Hughes of Sunlife Financial and new vice-president Pam Cox of Tierney Stauffer Lawyers.

Miller holds open house to explain quarry licence application Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Turns out council wants more time to study a proposed quarry expansion in McNabBraeside, even after a recent open house detailing the plan.

The township has asked the provincial government to delay approval of the Braeside quarry expansion, a project newly elected Mayor Tom Peckett flat-out opposes (see page 11).

Miller Group is the construction company applying to more than double the extraction area in its Braeside Quarry to 67 hectares. It held a mandatory open house Nov. 26 at the Masonic Hall in Arnprior that was well attended.

Tom Jones, project manager for the construction giant, was joined by representatives from a public relations firm who explained the technical differences between the company’s first aggregate licence application to expand the Braeside quarry and its current one.

Jones didn’t go into specifics, but said approval for the expansion has already been given by the provincial Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.

He understands most residents in the area are against the project, and doesn’t want to exacerbate the already long and bitter conflict.

He even offers “no comment� when it comes to actions by an opposition group: Friends Addressing Concerns Together in McNab-Brae-

Derek Dunn/Metroland

Miller Group project manager Tom Jones, left, with planner Gary Bell of Skelton Brumwell at the company’s open house regarding its application for an aggregate licence for the doubling the size of the extraction area at the Braeside quarry. Many area residents are concerned the quarry will take too much water, contaminate area water supplies, damage the sensitive ecosystem and reduce property values. side (FACT-MB).

However, Jones did address a number of issues posed by residents living around the quarry.

“There has been a lot of misinformation spread,� Jones said. “We do our upmost to do the proper studies and inform the people. This is not a broken process.�

One issue has to do with Miller keeping the old Smiths Construction sign on site. It may seem inconsequential, but FACT-MB sees it as Miller besmirching the good name and reputation of the local family who used to run the quarry.

Miller keeps the traditional name at various sites they own out of respect, Jones said, and is itself a company founded by two families. “Miller has a very good reputation in the industry,� Jones said.

Another issue opponents raise is the company choosing a municipal election period to submit its application. It triggers a 45-day comment period.

Between a lame-duck council and a completely new one of almost all first-time politicians, the township is in a difficult position to be making decisions.

Jones said the province has a process in place the company is bound to follow. “We are following a licensing process that started in 2006,� he said. “We can’t do our business in unison with elections.�

Asked if he would like to live beside a quarry that could double in size, possibly threatening his property valve and drinking water, Jones said he lives beside construction plants.

And that industry – regulated by governments - does the work that all members of society benefit from.

Aggregate from the quarry goes toward the twinning of Highway 417 in this area.

ingness to charge ahead with fighting against Energy East without first holding a robust debate that turned her off.

“I just came to see what these people were here for; to see how open-minded they are,” Brown said after the meeting.

“I don’t think they are as open-minded as they need to be.”

There was no mention that Energy East will provide tax revenue to municipalities, and little acknowledgement of the valve system, sensors, pumping stations and monitoring process. Many scoffed at the notion Energy East is a “nation-building project,” a contention of Alberta Premier Jim Prentice.

Stephen Janes is an environmental engineer who has worked on many similar projects in Canada.

A relative of McNab-Braeside Coun. Heather Lang, Janes travelled from London to give a presentation. He said it is important to study the details and approval process. He is also convinced the already

pipeline, so locals won’t benefit.

“I don’t see the win-win,” said Robert Johnston, whose house is within 1,000 feet of the pipeline. “They do not deny there will be spills. They give the statistics on their website. It’s all built into the business model.”

Johnston and his wife Joanne Mitchell own a farm on Waba Creek. They don’t fit the big city environmentalist stereotype. But it is evident they’ve studied Energy East extensively, and are vehemently opposed to the conversion.

Sitting next to them was MaryGwyn Brown and her friend, both skeptics of the fledgling group and its arguments against the proposal.

Brown isn’t a climate change believer to start: climate has always changed; it’s narcissistic to think we can have that much impact over the world’s ecosystems; species and civilizations come and go, she says. And there’s nothing wrong with businesses making money.

But it is the group’s will-

R0013048157

News – They don’t know what aspect to address, or their messaging; they haven’t even come up with a name yet.

But a group has formed in Arnprior to oppose the proposed Energy East pipeline.

About 25 people gathered at the public library on Dec. 3, including a number of elected town and township representatives and an environmental engineer. The meeting was to discuss TransCanada’s plan to convert a natural gas pipeline to oil and run it from the Alberta Tar Sands – under the Madawaska River and other Valley rivers – on to Quebec and New Brunswick.

Hosted by newly-elected McNab-Braeside Coun. Mark MacKenzie, the local threat was made plain by various commentators: • A 40-year-old pipe designed for gas is expected to ship 1.1 million barrels a day of heavy sand and bitumen under tremendous pressure; • TransCanada spills have doubled over the last decade, from one in 1,000 km of pipeline per year to two; • Between 1 and 2 per cent would leak before stop measures kick in, meaning at least 10,000 barrels; • About 80 to 90 per cent of the oil will be sold internationally, hence Energy East will not contribute to energy independence; • Natural gas prices will jump by 52 per cent to pay for new gaslines, which is why gas providers like Enbridge oppose the deal; • Few full-time jobs will be created, and temporary installation workers move with the

campaigns, perhaps even a play are actions under consideration. The group acknowledged TransCanada has deep pockets for TV ads, and is suspected of planning a dirty tricks campaign to discredit opponents.

Mayors and councillors said they are at the meeting to gauge public sentiment, not play an active role in the group. MacKenzie said he will step back after the first meeting.

The local elected officials did say they would welcome delegations to speak during upcoming council meetings.

A formal presentation gives councils the impetus to join with surrounding municipalities and the county, possibly with a message to the government of Ontario and provincial and national associations of municipalities.

R0011213129

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Even Arnprior Mayor David Reid agreed pipelines should be stopped and oil sands production reduced in the name of minimizing Canada’s carbon footprint. (Township Mayor Tom Peckett, also at the meeting, indicated he wants Energy East stopped.)

However, the group didn’t formulate a marketing or messaging plan, instead concentrating on either the local risk or overall danger of climate change.

Judging by the focus of the meeting, Energy East’s threat to local drinking water will be the core. One person said bottled water will cost more than oil. Another suggested filling water bottles with oil as part of a campaign.

The local tourism sector and a spike in natural gas prices were reiterated.

Petitions, letter-writing

contentious issue will grow.

“I personally think we are going to see this on the next (federal) election, it’s that big,” Janes said. He encouraged opponents to voice their concerns to the national and Ontario energy boards.

“There is an awful lot of power in your hands.”

The Ontario Energy Board will hold hearings in Stittsville and Ottawa at a yet-to-be determined date in early 2015.

Reid agreed to change the resolution wording.

The interim dollar amounts - which over the course of a year works out to $96,706 for the library and $158,967 for recreation - was arrived at through a population calculation. Arnprior concedes the difficulties in getting firm numbers, something the township’s previous council insisted was necessary before arriving at a deal.

Outside groups such as the minor hockey association, Blue Fish Swim Club and others run programs and don’t

always keep perfect records.

Schools are often using the pool and other facilities too. So to offset, the town boost the total users by 10 per cent.

It shows that about 15 per cent more township residents use the ice surfaces than town users. The pool and programs used by Arnprior residents is more than double that of McNab-Braeside.

Were the interim recreation deal to become permanent, the township’s contribution would not exceed $27 per person during the five-year term. Another way to look it is the town pays about 66 per cent ($375,209) and the township about 34 per cent ($196,407).

McNab-Braeside would not contribute to capital costs, just operational. And numbers would change based on population growth (Arnprior has grow at a considerably faster pace than the township).

The failure to secure library and recreation agreements was a major municipal election issue.

The largely returned town council appears to have been given the green light by voters to maintain the same approach. An entirely new township council ran on a willingness to get a deal in place.

Continued from front

Principal Neil Farmer insists the school is not bending to any one person’s request and has gradually been returning to the school’s original intention: Redmen as a reference to the colours red and white. “As a school we’ve been very proactive over the last five or six years when it comes to the Redmen name and logo and how they are about school colours,� Farmer said. “This isn’t a knee-jerk reaction because of one person.� ‘Redmen Pride’ appears almost everywhere during the annual Spirit Week parade, including on vehicles. It appears on posters during competitions and jerseys and clothing. But there is no commitment to drop it just yet. “No decision has been made on the name,� Farmer said. “This is a natural progression. We are not rushing through this without talking to everybody: the alumni and school body, students, staff, parents. It’s not about me.�

Farmer has become the reluctant focal point of the highly emotion issue that involves the traditions of a 138-year-old

school. But it continues to come up.

It was raised by the Chronicle-Guide four years ago when Campeau first started his – eventually successful – campaign to have the Nepean Redskins change its name. Back then an ADHS staff member called a chief in Golden Lake to specifically ask about it.

The chief said as long as the name is used respectfully – brave warrior, etc. – then it is acceptable.

Farmer said ADHS must be inclusive and not offend others, even if they don’t attend the school. It must be respectful of all groups, and admits that singling out the skin colour of black people and using that as a logo would be “unacceptable.�

He even has heard the notion of ‘men’ in Redmen as problematic from a gender point of view.

Although he hasn’t heard of any female students offended by the term.

Nor has anyone complained about the native connotations.

And because there has been no backlash, the school board hasn’t pressured Farmer to change the name.

Many students at Opeongo High School are natives from the Golden Lake area. As far as principal Tom Havey knows, there haven’t been any complaints that Arnprior is being disrespectful. “I was a member of the staff at Arnprior and I’ve been principal here for only one and a half years, but I have never received a complaint,� Havey said. “I think (Farmer) is doing his due diligence by having the discussion.�

Havey figures it will come down to whether or not the public is convinced that Redmen stands for school colours and not a skin colour. So long as images of spears and Indians – first begun in the 1970s – are kept alive, the likelihood of a name change will grow.

It’s not inevitable that Redmen will be dropped. Redskins, such as the ongoing furor over the Washington football team’s name, is more of a direct link than Redmen. But schools from P.E.I. to Smiths Falls have dropped the Redmen name over the last few decades. Maybe ADHS is next. “Inevitable is a tough word.

I’m not able to predict the future,� Havey said. “I just know it’s a gradual process.�

EDITORIAL

Goodbye to a class act W

hile there still are many inspiring stories about local achievers in amateur sports these days, it can get downright depressing reading about professional sports.

Too often today’s stories about professional athletes are not about sports. Far from it.

More often than not they are about money, greed and ego instead of fair play, sacrifice and hard work.

Two many young players achieve fame and the big bucks too soon, before they are really deserving and definitely before they are ready to handle the pressure and temptations that come along with them.

The litany of woes afflicting big league sports continues to grow.

Addiction, steroids, cheating, fan abuse, racism, arrogance, sexual assault and even murder have hit the headlines lately when it comes to so-called professional athletes.

So it was a welcome relief that none of that came to the fore in the last week when Canadians are saying good bye to a Canadian hockey legend and genuine all-round good guy.

No, we’re not talking about Daniel Alfredsson’s official retirement, although Alfie did embody many of the values so admired in Jean Beliveau: hard work, leadership, dedication and community involvement. Good for Ottawa

to give him the send-off he deserved.

But the former Montreal Canadiens great was in a class by himself. And class is the right world when it comes to describing Beliveau.

He epitomized what sport should be all about.

He was as talented, graceful and classy off the ice as he was on, and that is saying something. For he was a wonderful hockey player, strong and skilled. Definitely one of the top 10 NHLers of all time.

And a pleasure to watch.

But as it’s been said time and time again since his death last week that it was his other attributes that made him so special.

With his talents and revered stature in the hockey community, he could have had a huge ego. But he didn’t.

His leadership skills, his calmness, his love of family, his genuine interest in others young and old, rich and poor, stood out. He was wonderfully inclusive and a great ambassador for sports, proving it doesn’t always have to be about the fame and money.

One of the many admirers lined up in Montreal on the weekend to pay their respects said simply that “he made me want to be a better person.�

In a world where fair play and humility is far too rare in professional sports, what better legacy is there for a sports hero to leave.

MP voted for Agenda 21 act To the Editor: There has been a lot of misinformation on UN Agenda 21 in this riding lately. An election must be looming.

Fact: UN Agenda 21 is a legally non-binding statement of intent and not a treaty. It was voted on in parliament as the ‘Federal Sustainable Development Act’, which received Royal Assent on June 26, 2008.

Fact: Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant voted in favour of the act. See http://www.parl.gc.ca/HouseChamberBusiness/ChamberVoteDetail.aspx?FltrParl=39&Fl

If it really is, in a ‘nutshell’, a plan “for government to eventually take control of all land use removing decision-making from the hands of private property owners,� why did Cheryl Gallant vote in favour of the act?

How can she blame the Liberals for it? The more you know...

Restricting insecticides good news for owls, other wildlife To the Editor: It appears food supplies for Snowy Owls are low in the north, so we are treated with these wonderful visitors as pictured above on a cornfield off Highway 417 near the Mississippi River.

The presence of the Snowy Owl raises questions as to the impact insecticide residues might be having on the food chain.

Mice consuming water and seeds containing the residue of insecticides will pass along these toxins to Snowy Owls.

We are all familiar with DDT and effects on birds. Scientists state neonicotinoids are many more times toxic to insects than DDT. Dr. Pierce Mineau of Carleton University states: “The amount of insecticide adhering to the average corn seed can result in acute intoxications in birds ‌ with imidacloprid (a neonicotinoid) a single seed may prove lethal for an average-sized bird.â€?

The recent announcement by the Ontario government to reduce the use of neonicotiniods by 80 per cent starting in 2016 is very positive news.

This is well overdue as large sections of the bee/honey industry in Ontario have been damaged/destroyed.

Given the residual strength of neonicotiniods it does bode well for animals up the food chain from seed and insect eaters.

Snowy Owls have been seen frequently in the area this year. This owl was photographed east of Arnprior near the Mississippi River off Highway 417.

Will Gallant stand up for transparency, accountability?

To the Editor: Local Member of Parliament Cheryl Gallant couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been clearer when she said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;we put our words into action ... we live within the realms of accountability and transparency.â&#x20AC;?

Soon she will have a chance to show how she is putting that sentiment into practice as your representative when she votes on the Transparency Act. This bill was introduced by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau to raise the bar on openness and accountability by making government information open by default. It is a good faith effort to work across the aisle and achieve results for Canadians.

The Transparency Act would modernize our Access to Information system, which is stuck in the 1980s. It would make all government data public by default and available in modern formats.

It would empower an independent office to order that information to be disclosed. It would eliminate extra fees for information requests.

+ ;8P J8C<J <M<EK

Connected to your community

The Act would also make the meetings of the governing board of the House of Commons open by default, allowing Canadians to see how MPs make decisions on their own spending.

These changes would go a long way to addressing criticisms by the press, researchers, independent experts and others, and ensure that citizens have a real right to know what their government does.

Mr. Trudeau has been clear that he wants to work with all MPs, and is open to amendments, suggestions and improvements. He believes that together we can help restore a sense of trust in our democracy.

Private Members Bills like this are normally â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;free votesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which allow MPs to vote with their conscience instead of their party.

We sincerely hope that Mrs. Gallant will vote in favour of the Transparency Act. â&#x20AC;Ż Scott Simms, MP Liberal Party of Canada Democratic Reform Critic

Council asks for review period extension John.carter@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The newly-elected McNab-Braeside council has agreed to ask that the review period for the revised Miller Group aggregate licence application be extended.

At its first regular meeting Dec. 2, council

unanimously agreed to write the Minister of Natural Resources and Miller to request an extension to give it more time to look over the application.

Representatives of FACT-MB, who oppose the expansion at the Braeside Quarry, had asked the previous council to apply for an extension.

However, the majority of council decided that it should be up to the new council to make the request.

Councillors didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound too optimistic their appeal would be acted upon, but said they needed to ask to indicate their concern to the province.

The deadline for public input into applica-

Boil water advisory lifted for Arnprior Tests show water safe after water main broken by contractor Staff

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Theâ&#x20AC;ŻRenfrew County and District Health Unit lifted the precautionary boil water advisory three days after it was issued for an Arnprior neighbourhood last week.

In a release on the afternoon of Dec. 4, the Town of Arnprior announced the Renfrew County and District Health Unit had fully lifted the advisory that had been in effect for the residents of Fairbrooke Court and Veale Family Dental Centre.

Two sets of random bacteriological water samples indicate the water meets all of the microbial standards as required under provincial

tion is Dec. 15, marking the end of the 45day review process.

Meanwhile, the new council has agreed to take a tour of the Braeside Quarry, likely this Saturday morning. Miller property manger Tom Jones issued the invitation at the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s information session on its aggregate application held Nov. 26.

legislation, the town said.

The caution was first issued after a contractor on a construction job broke a water main on the afternoon of Monday, Dec. 1. Water was restored to the area late that evening.

The advisory that affected homes and businesses in the Baskin Drive-White Lake Road area was partially lifted Dec. 3.

The health unit advised residents to run the cold water tap for one minute upon first use after the lifting of the advisory.

Additional information on what to do to ensure drinking water is safe to drink is available at the town website at arnprior.ca, or by calling Renfrew County and District Health Unit at 613-735-8666.

Residents affected by the precautionary boil water advisory do not need to get their water tested, says the town.

OPSEU members give strike mandate to bargaining teams News – Could there be a strike looming in the provincial civil service?

Members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) have given a strong strike mandate to their bargainers to what the union claims is a response to the provincial government’s concession demands.

OPSEU president Warren (Smokey) Thomas, whose union represents the 35,000 Ontario government workers employed directly by the Ontario Public Service (OPS), maintains the demands would strip away various existing rights and drive down employee compensation.

The proposals range from the employer paying less for benefit premiums to new lower wage rates for new hires and a 12-year progression to salary maximums.

“This concession-filled proposal is entirely unacceptable,” Thomas said in a news release Monday. “This attack is designed to undermine public services and the lives of workers

When is a hawk not a hawk?

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way

Lifestyle - Over my many years of birdwatching, I’ve seen many instances of misidentification.

That is understandable because many species look very much alike, and lighting can make colours and patterns difficult to discern. But even birds that seem more than distinctive sometimes confuse their observers.

The Ruffed Grouse is one such bird, and this year I have encountered no fewer than nine misidentifications involving that species. Most of you are likely acquainted with Ruffed Grouse. These chickens-of-the woods startle us when they unexpectedly explode into the air during an outing in the woods.

High up in leafless poplars, their plump forms create dark silhouettes against the glow of late winter sunsets as they devour swelling buds. In spring, the males’ courtship drumrolls (wing generated!) thunder through woodland forests.

So what other bird could a Ruffed Grouse possibly be mistaken for? Well, one is its northern cousin, the Spruce Grouse. Female Spruce Grouse certainly bear similar colours and patterns. But those are birds of northern spruce peatlands and Jack Pine forests.

With its rugged elevations allowing the growth of boreal habitats, Algonquin Park

is about as far south as Spruce Grouse are found in Ontario.

However, in our area it is not with Spruce Grouse that people have been confusing Ruffed Grouse. This may come as no small surprise, but the number one source of confusion is a hawk!

So how can a chicken-like bird that walks slowly on the ground be confused with a speedy bird of prey? The answer is: “Rather easily;” this year seven different people did just that. In most cases the grouse was dead, killed by flying into a window or being struck by a car.

There are good reasons for the confusion. One is a grouse’s overall size (large) and colour. Up close, grouse are striking

birds, their feathers various shades of brown adorned with flecks and streaks of black, silver, and cream, making their owner well camouflaged for sun-dappled forest floors.

But this colour and pattern are also borne by many hawks, especially young ones.

Grouse heads are relatively small and their legs are long, features also shared with hawks. However, the main reasons for confusion are a grouse’s beak and feet. The stout bill ends in a hooked tip for nipping tough buds. A hawk’s bill is large and ends in a meathook tip for ripping flesh.

Grouse toes are long and strong, equipped with large claws for scratching the ground in search of food. Hawks possess large, muscular toes tipped with needle-sharp talons for catching live prey.

Unquestionably there are similarities between grouse and hawks. But there are many differences, too, and of these is apparent right now.

On the side of each toe of a Ruffed Grouse are small rectangular projections. These are scales that start growing in late fall. They broaden the surface area of the toes, spreading out when a grouse walks.

In winter they function like little snowshoes, allowing their owner to walk and even run atop snow.

Now that is something that no hawk can do!

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

(20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years $15 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO.

Lighting up the season The McGonigal family gets set to turn on the lights at the Arnprior hospital Dec. 4 in memory of their husband and father, Rob. Janet and children Lauren and Tim were given the honour because Rob, who died earlier this year, was such a strong community benefactor. Partners in Caring vice-chairman Trevor Reid praised Rob as a hard-working “good guy” who was always willing to help and had a great sense of humour. Introducing the McGonigals is event emcee Peter DeWolf of MyFM. Right, Jamie Anne Bentz leads the group in carols.

Melissa Gray (with husband Lorne), who works in the Arnprior Hospital’s finance department was the lucky winner of a gift basket worth at least $400 at the tree lighting. The light up the tree campaign raised about $27,000 to go toward a $87,000 surgical video tower that will make it easier for surgeons and patients in the hospital when it comes to such things as kneescopes and gall bladder operations. General surgeon Andrea Gutauskas explained the importance of the tower to the crowd at the lighting ceremony.

Fire safety

Right, Sparky, the safety dog was an equally big hit as Santa at the McNab-Braeside Firefighters Breakfast with Santa Saturday at the White Lake fire hall. Hunter and Alyssa Hunter get to meet the pooch along with mother Julie.

Left, the large turnout at the McNabBraeside Firefighters Breakfast with Santa meant a great deal of food donated for the Arnprior and District Food Bank.

Alivia was pictured on the front of last week’s Chronicle-Guide, but her name was misspelled. We apologize.

News - Traditionally the holiday season is the busiest time of year for mercantile occupancies as many people will engage in holiday shopping festivities.

The Arnprior Fire Department has issued a reminder to building owners and managers to be extra vigilant in providing for the fire and life safety of their buildings’ occupants during this busy holiday season.

By following some simple steps, building owners and managers can help play a central role in protecting the community and ensure everyone stays fire safe and enjoys all the holidays have to offer.  Displays should not obstruct any means of egress (EXIT doors, aisles) or life safety component such as fire alarm pull stations, fire extinguishers, exit signs, etc. Caution should be taken not to reduce the aisles widths below what is required for safe exiting.  Avoid running temporary wiring or extension cords across doorways or under carpets. Avoid overloading outlets.  Decorations used for the mercantile occupancy should be non-flammable or flame retardant and placed away from all heat sources.  Avoid using live trees - special fire safety precautions need to be taken when keeping a live tree in any occupancy. A burning tree can rapidly fill a room with fire and smoke within minutes.  Artificial holiday trees - If you are using a metallic or artificial tree, make sure that it is flame retardant.  Avoid using lit candles - If you do use them, make sure that the use is approved by the fire department, they are in stable holders and are in areas where they cannot be easily knocked down. Never leave the occupancy with candles burning.

The Arnprior Fire Department thanks all building owners/operators for their attention to these “very significant” fire safety matters.

Should you have any questions about any of this material, do not hesitate to contact the Fire Prevention Office of the Arnprior Fire Department at 613-623-4231 at extensions 1835 or 1837.

School musical ‘nose’ the value of having interests Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Arts - It’s easy to see where the movie Love, Actually got its inspiration.

A town is rarely more charming than when its residents come out to support the local high school’s theatre production.

Super proud parents almost personally invited every member of the community to Arnprior District High School’s recent production of Cyrano de BurgerShack. They lap up these last few years and seem to ask friends and neighbours to store memories for a later lull that hopefully will never happen.

Their teens, too, spread word knowing full well that performers enter a vulnerable place few dare to tread – let alone invite spectators.

We arrived in the dark evening with few teachers and administrators around, the bells sleeping, custodial staff tending to solitary duties. For many the memories would flood back – football games, exams, maybe even a part in the school play all those years ago.

We newer residents chuckled knowing that so much resembles our distant high school, the stage in the gymnasium not least of all. A ticket table outside the door; band members waiting patiently behind row after row of chairs; the props from shop class on stage; an (invariably) red curtain pealing back.

The times they are a-changing.

Not so much.

The school musical celebrates a future generation’s optimism and eagerness. Theatre students, in particular, are brimming with life. We oldtimers, especially those who aren’t around young people on a regular basis, feel animated in their presence.

As if they share ambrosia from a hidden fountain of youth.

It is a culmination of sorts for the

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Arts teacher Frank Pecora leads the cast of Cyrano de Burger Shack through a few last minute rehearsal points before the students take to the stage at Arnprior District High School late last month. students involved, as almost each day of a teenager’s life seems a culmination; a peak of childhood and preparation of flight into adulthood.

Standing at the lip of the stage struggling to overcome nervous energy, a performer stares down the darkness ahead and smiles at the moment they’ve created. The effect sends a shiver through the audience.

Cyrano de BurgerShack is a new musical, literally never performed before. Kudos to the director for breaking new ground. Yesterday’s musicals often had no meaning for high school kids – Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof. Others were a bit dubious on the moral side - Grease, in particular.

This version of the classic Cyrano story is the opposite. Underlying messages were positive without being hokey.

Body image played a huge role, nearly as large as Cyrano’s nose. But

rather than the tired disabled-character-as-pitiful victim, Cyrano is smart and funny and outgoing.

Too often when it comes to high school-related productions, intelligence is rendered synonymous with nerdy and weak. (Anti-intellectualism runs high in all sectors of society, but that’s for another day.)

The female lead is Type A, expecting to find a flawless boyfriend.

She learns imperfections make us unique.

MORAL: HAVE INTERESTS

The most interesting character is rather dim and ashamed of it. He struggles to keep up in conversations (language is celebrated in this production), and at first is fine with getting by on his looks.

The real triumph in this musical is not that two leads come to an under-

standing, it’s that the good-looking dunce finds a way to express his interests: hence a really sweet moment when he sings scientific facts about his pet turtle.

“If I were a turtle I’d wish you

Cast list Anprior District High School Performing Arts class presented Cyrano de BurgerShack, a pop musical by Jeremy Desmon, on Nov. 27 and 28 in the gymnatorium.

The musical is a modern retelling of the classic Edmond Rostand play Cyrano de Bergerac set in an afterschool hangout, The BurgerShack.

The storyline is old-school, but its modern, musical re-imagination is decidedly new.

were a turtle too.” It’s not Cyrano’s brilliant poetry, but it is just as authentic. And in the end that is what matters most.

The underlying message for the audience is to have interests. Have interests and you will attract friends.

Appreciate interests in others and you my find yourself falling in love with the right person.

Impressively, the underlying messages were delivered without bashing anyone over the head (a nose, not obesity). Jokes involving cellphones, selfies and the surveillance society also made for a nice insider’s tone that teens can appreciate.

The author similarly wins trust by allowing characters to admit McJobs are boring and not worth investing too deeply in.

The pop songs are from the 1980s up to today. It is curious to see how much more comfortable the performers are singing newer songs like Bruno Mars’ Just the Way You Are. A lot of hard work was put into the production, and everyone involved should be very proud.

Next time the theatre curtain opens at ADHS, I suggest joining the audience. Community support is much appreciated. And a good live performance is a reward in itself.

“We hope you will enjoy this swashbuckling tale of high-school romance, burgers … and one very large schnoz,” reads the playbill.

RBC donation to reduce mental health counselling wait times John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

News – The RBC Royal Bank continues to be a major supporter of the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families in Renfrew County.

Phoenix Centre executive director Greg Lubimiv visited Arnprior recently to accept an $18,500 donation from the bank. RBC regional vice-president Glen Kelsey made the presentation on behalf of the Renfrew county branches.

The RBC’s “significant” donation can help the Phoenix Centre “make a huge difference” by helping the Phoenix Centre further cut down the wait times for mental health services for youth in Renfrew County, Lubimiv explained.

He said the walk-in clinic at Arnprior’s Kenwood Centre, patterned after ones in Pembroke and Renfrew, helps by providing immediate contact. Providing that initial access right away has proved “very successful,” he added.

The wait time in Pem-

broke and Renfrew has been reduced from six months to about two, with the goal to do the same for the Arnprior office and eventually do away with waiting periods all-together, perhaps as early as this coming April, he said.

“People shouldn’t have to wait for mental health services,” he added. “Often we’re talking about crisis situations.”

Kelsey noted the areas of mental health and youth services are among the key targets for the bank’s corporate donations. The RBC has been supporting the Phoenix Centre for at least six years, he said.

He noted that mental health issues are being talked about much more openly than they used to be thanks to initiatives such as Clara Hughes’ cross-country ride and other high profile campaigns.

Lubimiv said the continuing support is greatly appreciated as the Phoenix Centre expands its offerings throughout the county and deals with a dramatically increasing need for its services.

Looking on are Arnprior RBC client care manager Mary-Lou Joyce and Phoenix Centre family and child therapist Wendy Bronson, left. Missing are Marci Joyce and Pat Etmanski from the Renfrew and Pembroke RBC branches.

The Phoenix Centre provides one-on-one mental health counselling for youth at its offices around Renfrew county, including the one in Arnprior’s Kenwood Centre, as well as group sessions.

Family and child therapist Wendy Bronson, on hand for the presentation, explained that Phoenx Centre counsellors help clients learn to deal with their problems and take control of their lives.

The Phoenix Centre helps clients deal with a wide range of issues, from addiction and anxiety to depression and divorce. It is also taking a lead role in suicide prevention in the county, recently launching

a crisis centre for youth and families service in Arnprior that offers walk-in counselling sessions.

Arnprior to welcome EOJHL prospects to town Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

Sports – If you are a fan of junior hockey, Arnprior is the place to be this weekend.

The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s (EOJHL) top prospects are hitting the ice at the Nick Smith Centre on Saturday, Dec. 13.

“You are going to see the best 16- and 17-year-olds in the Eastern region playing,” said Bill Griese, Arnprior Packers general manager and head coach.

“Probably half of these players will be playing Junior A next year.”

Griese says it will be very good hockey to watch. “It’s going to be fast and then they are going to pick it up and it will be even faster,” said Griese.

The Valley Team will take on the St. Lawrence Team at 1 p.m. followed by the

Metro Team playing the Rideau Team at 4 p.m.

The Packers, who play in the Valley Division of the EOJHL, will be represented by three players: Jack Rouleau, Mateo Scapilatti and Curtis Foster.

THREE PACKERS TO PLAY

Rouleau is a forward who hails from Arnprior and Griese says that he has been the most impressive player on the Packers roster thus far.

“He is the most consistent and most unselfish player,” said Griese.

“It’s been a treat having him on the team; every team needs a defensive player like Jack on their team.”

Rouleau has played 24 games for the Packers with one goal, three assists and 15 penalty minutes.

“He adds energy to every shift,” added

Griese.

Scapilatti, from Nepean, is the Packers back-up goalie and has a record of 3-4 with a save percentage of 0.866.

“He has done nothing but get better,” said Griese.

Scapilatti has earned the team’s trust and the players are all more comfortable playing in front of him.

“When he plays he is helping us win games,” added Griese.

Foster has played only six games with the Packers due to a hand injury, but in that time the defenceman has scored two goals and had one assist.

“He’s an exceptional defenceman and he is very smart on the ice,” said Griese.

“It is exciting to get him back from injury.”

The Prospects Games are for players who play in the EOJHL and are born in 1996/1997 or 1998.

STACEY ROY/METROLAND

Saves in Perth Packers net minder Mateo Scapilatti makes one of his 28 saves during a 4-3 Arnprior win in Perth last Friday. He is one of three Packers playing the Valley-St. Lawrence prospects game this Saturday at the Nick Smith Centre.

Coach Kevin Mayew was very happy to see new moves learned in this past week used at this tournament. As well, moves that had caused problems for his wrestlers in early competitions won matches for Arnprior this tournament.

Grade 4/5 SnowPass back for local ski hills Sports – Parents can put skiing and snowboarding on their list of outdoor activities for the family with the help of the SnowPass.

The Canadian Ski Council (CSC) is bringing back its Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass for its 18th season. The SnowPass provides 9- and 10-year old children with three lift passes at each of the 150+ ski areas, nationwide, for $29.95. That’s over 450 lift passes.

Both Mt. Pakenham and Calabogie Peaks are participating in the program.

“Introducing children to skiing and snowboarding are great ways for children to learn a new sport that they can participate in during the winter months,” said Patrick Arkeveld, president of the Canadian Ski Council. “Teaching children to ski or

snowboard at an early age gives them lifetime access to these healthy winter sports.

It keeps them active, outside, fit, and less prone to obesity during the winter months.

“Skiing and snowboarding are also great activities for the entire family to participate in, and the SnowPass allows children to engage in the sport in an affordable way.”

The SnowPass provides children in grades 4 and 5 (born in 2004 or 2005) with three lift tickets at each participating ski area across Canada, allowing them the opportunity to ski and snowboard hundreds of times over the winter season.

You only need to apply once for the SnowPass and it is valid until the end of Grade 5. This means if you apply in Grade 4, the SnowPass is valid for two seasons.

The SnowPass is active as of Dec. 1 until the end of the season.

To sign up for a SnowPass, visit www. snowpass.ca.

Application forms were distributed to elementary schools across Canada beginning in early November.

Christmas ‘angels’ make holiday brighter for 56 children John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

Community – Just ask Buffie Rathwell of Family and Children’s Services and she’ll be the first to agree.

Kert and Kirsty Lavigne embody the spirit of giving at Christmas that makes Arnprior and area such a great place to live.

The Lavignes, who live just outside Arnprior in McNab-Braeside, have been collecting gifts for area children in need for the past seven years through the Arnprior Christmas Angels program. Each year they and their supporters go above and beyond to find gifts that have special meaning for local children who would otherwise likely not receive much at Christmas.

This year has been the biggest one yet for the program, notes Kert. Both the need and the amount of gifts donated have been about 20 greater than ever before, resulting in bags of gifts accumulated for 56 local children.

Stanley Black and Decker, where Kert works, and BMT Fleet Technologies, where Kirsty is employed, are enthusiastic supporters of the program. This year, another Ottawa firm, Akamai Technologies, also got on board in a big way.

Rathwell, the Arnprior Family and Children’s Services Christmas An-

gels program co-ordinator, gives the Lavignes a list of children (identified by number only) from babies up to 13-year-olds who need Christmas gifts. The list is highly personalized with the needs and wants of each anonymous child specified.

For example, one children is a big fan of the Ottawa Senators. Not only did the Lavignes find suppliers to help with a jersey and other items at a discount, they managed to get game tickets for the youngster. Another woman donating to the program spent hours searching for the right figure skates for a child and another loaded up a bag full of high quality art supplies for a youngster who is a budding artist.

LABOUR OF LOVE

“People seem to get a real thrill out of buying gifts for the kids,” said Kert.

The Lavignes dropped off their loads of toys at the Arnprior Family and Children’s Services office last week to be ready for distribution and wrapping by parents just prior to Christmas An appreciative Rathwell said the program will again make Christmas brighter for many children in and around the Arnprior area.

“We thank Kert and Kirsty Lavigne for being the organizers of this

efit from the wonderful gifts which are being purchased through the program.”

The Lavignes in turn thank those who donate to the program, many

who have done it year after year.

“It takes a month to put it all together, but it’s worth it,” said Kert.

“We’ve got it down pat now … we really enjoy it.”

Marguerite gives angelic performance for Northcote audience Lifestyle - The Northcote School was packed, and the smell of felt insoles, galoshes, and gum rubbers, propped against a log by the wood stove, filled the room.

It was the yearly Christmas concert. The desks had been stacked and moved to the front of the room, and planks brought in and either ends placed on chairs for seating.

What was left of the Christmas tree decorations made for a sorry sight. Miss Crosby had us make 18 popcorn balls the day before (that’s how many students there were), and they were strung on string with a large darning needle, and circled the limbs of the big tree propped in the corner.

Sadly, the mice had eaten every last popcorn ball during the night, and all that was left was the string, and the few ropes of red and green chain paper, also made by the pupils.

Underneath were the presents each pupil brought for the person whose name he had drawn the week before ... and, of course, we each had brought a present for Miss Crosby too.

The concert had been rehearsed daily for a month, and if we didn’t know our lines by

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

the night of the concert it wasn’t the teacher’s fault! And every last one of us had a part if you wanted it or not.

Emerson and Cecil would have much preferred being part of the audience, but Miss Crosby was having none of that.

As usual, bad Marguerite was an angel, and I was a sheep … again! Marguerite even had wings made by her mother ... gossamer affairs that somehow were attached to the long white dress she wore, and she flitted around the stage in her white stockinged feet and with her newly permed Shirley Temple curls bobbing on her head like sausages on springs.

My sister Audrey and the Briscoe twins opened the concert after Miss Crosby blew into a little whistle that gave them the proper note to start on. Their voices filled the school, and I

could see Mother and Mrs. Briscoe wipe their eyes with the corner of their hankies.

Then there was the one-act play, and it seemed to me we acted out the same one every year. It was called “Who salted the soup?”

The only thing different was the cast, which changed from Christmas concert to Christmas concert. Both Emerson and Cecil had parts in the play and I held my breath for its entire duration, but their performance went off without a hitch, much to everyone’s relief.

Then Audrey and the twins sang a few more carols, this time much better than their first effort, since they were now used to the dim light and with one performance under their belts.

All the time they were singing, Miss Smartypants was hopping around the stage with her wings flapping and her face cast to the ceiling, trying her best to look like an angel. I thought she looked like a white chicken scanning the stage for a place to light!

But I couldn’t say a word, or move from my place, where, as a sheep, I was to keep my eyes on the manger and the doll borrowed from my friend Joyce Frances’ large collection.

Miss Crosby had given us explicit instructions not to move off the stage when the concert ended. We were to stay in our positions, and she would say a few words to the audience, thank everyone for coming, and as

happened every year, as if by magic, as soon as she finished, the school door flew open, and in rushed Santa Claus.

Only then could we leave the stage and go to sit on the two front planks.

Well, that’s when all hell broke loose. Miss Perfect, bound to be the first off the stage, as soon as Santa roared into the school with his ‘Ho, Ho’ Ho’s, Marguerite made a dive to lead the parade from the make-shift stage, which was just a platform borrowed from the United Church. Her foot caught on the tail of her dress, and she slid off the stage like a ship being launched from a dock.

Her wings were under her, and hadn’t Miss Crosby made a grab for her, she would have slid right into the front row of planks.

Santa Claus never missed a beat, ignored the heap on the floor, and headed right for the tree, ready to hand out the presents.

It was a pretty quiet Marguerite we saw for the rest of the night. My brother Emerson, on the way home in the flat-bottomed sleigh after the evening was over, said he’d bet his last dollar that she wouldn’t be the angel in the next Christmas concert.

I thought if she didn’t grow too much, maybe Miss Crosby could put her in the crib, and she could be baby Jesus. That way she would have to stay perfectly still for the entire evening, and not move a muscle.

Somehow, I couldn’t picture her in the role.

Scott Woods’ Christmas show a big hit with seniors Community - Arnprior-BraesideMcNab Seniors at Home (ABMSH) played host to the Scott Woods band on Nov. 30 to a captivated crowd at St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall in Arnprior.

Renowned Canadian champion fiddler Scott Woods and his band advertised that the concert would be a special ‘Christmas Tradition’ and they didn’t disappoint. The audience, made up of folks who travelled to Arnprior from as far away as Deep River, thoroughly enjoyed the twohour masterful performance that featured old-time fiddle music, sensational step-dancing, seasonal songs, inspirational stories, trick fiddling, family humour and more.

The audience was treated to the warm, rich vocals of Gary and Nadine Boles along with 14-year-old singer, fiddler and step-dancing sweetheart Amanda MacInnis. Also featured were the drumming talents of Ron Dymond, the highly respected guitar playing of Bruce Timmins (former member of the John Allen Cameron Show and East Coast Music Award winner), and, of course, ‘The Flippin Fiddler’ Scott Woods.

It’s a nickname Woods earned because of his now famous trick fid-

dling routine where he turns somersaults and walks on a ball all while playing his fiddle.

Thank you to Woods, the multiple Canadian Open and Canadian Grand Master Fiddle champion, and his band members for entertaining while in support of ABMSH. Also thank you to staff and volunteers of ABMSH for assisting in the success of the event, including Patti Farr, Mike Farr, Lisa Bottomley, Nancy Peck, Riley Harrington, Denise Belanger, Nancy Paquette, Donna Dowd, Garry Dowd and Liz Nadon.

Tory leadership candidate drums up support in Kanata MacLaren â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;leaning towardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; supporting Elliott Blair Edwards

Blair.edwards@metroland.com

Blair Edwards/Metroland

Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott shakes hand with one of about 50 people who showed up for a meet and greet at Sushi Kanata Dec. 1, as Mike Yolkowski, president of the Ontario Progressive Conservativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Riding Association, looks on.

News - Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott made a campaign visit to Kanata on Dec. 1, drumming up support in her bid for the leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party.

About 50 people showed up for the meetand-greet held at Sushi Kanata in the Kanata Centrum, attracting Conservatives from across Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley, including Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren and Ade Olumide, who is campaigning to replace Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor.

MacLaren said he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t declared his support for any leadership candidate but was â&#x20AC;&#x153;leaning towards Elliott.â&#x20AC;?

While none of the Ottawa-area MPPs have backed Elliott yet, the candidate said she had the support of eight caucus members.

Her campaign has also received a boost from the Doug Ford camp, after the Toronto politician declared he would not run in the leadership race and threw his support to Elliott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got over 320,000 votes in the City of To-

ronto (during the recent municipal election),â&#x20AC;? noted Elliott.

Ford has promised to help mount a membership drive for Elliott, she said.

The leadership candidate said she chose Kanata as one of the stops in her provincewide campaign tour because she was making an effort to visit Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;overlooked communities.â&#x20AC;?

Innovation key to economy

She said Ontario needs focus on innovation in building its economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As much as we want to bring manufacturing (jobs) to Ontario, we need to look to the future as well,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding the provincial government needs to look for opportunities to invest in businesses clusters, such as the high-tech sector in Kanata.

Elliott said she is touring the province to collect ideas and hear the opinions of Ontarians ahead of the spring leadership convention.

The leadership candidate said she hopes to revive the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortunes, after it lost nine seats in the last provincial election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lost touch with what really matters with people,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Elliott also spoke at the Delta Hotel in Ottawa during a poverty and enabling citizenship forum to discuss her plan to remove barriers and create a more inclusive environment for persons with disabilities and their families.

How to cope with the stress of the holiday season Weight management, wellness and nutrition

Ian Harris

Opinion – The holiday rush to find the perfect gift, set the perfect table and serve the perfect meal can have a tremendous psychological effect on all of us.

It can manifest all sorts of health problems from stress to anxiety and even depression, not to mention a strain on ones finances.

Although it is a time of giving, it does not have to be a competition with the Joneses.

The holiday season should be fun, filled with joy and laughter.

Holidays in general have become, for the most part, a retail experience.

Gone are the simple days.

We created the stress of the season by making it bigger than it should be and by letting ourselves get down when we can’t live up to

Arnprior choir to sing on behalf of Pakenham church

the expectations of others.

Hopefully the following suggestions will help you make this holiday season the best ever.

• Do the best you can, you can’t please everyone.

• Relax, you can’t control or change those around you.

•You are not responsible for the feelings and/or emotions of others.

• Set realistic goals. Do what is right for you while be respectful of others.

• Allow for self expression while being

Lifestyle – Missed out on the Arnprior Community Choir’s concert on Sunday because it was sold out? As of Monday, there were still tickets available for the choir’s concert this Sunday, Dec. 14 in Pakenham.

The choir is performing at a fundraising concert for St. Peter Celestine Catholic Church at 3 p.m.

mindful that those around you may not agree.

• Allow yourself to experience all of the joy and giving this holiday season has to offer.

• Planning, shopping, cooking, cleaning, wow! Delegate, you do not have to do it all by yourself .

• Lower your expectations. High expectations of yourself and others are hard to live by and unrealistic.

• Give yourself the gift of self indulgence.

Treat yourself to a special day. Remember you are on Santa’s “nice” list.

• Stop searching for perfection and focus on the joy of the season by allowing others to be what and who they want to be.

• Don’t let unresolved issues ruin your holiday season. Although you can learn to accept the past you cannot change it.

• Worry less about gifts and more about lov-

The choir will present a program of excellent choral music with many beautiful Christmas pieces including African, jazz, spirituals and several uplifting arrangements of traditional carols.

Adding to the festive presentation will be several talented instrumentalists, including percussionist Bruce Kingsley, oboist David Sale, violist

ing those around you.

They will in turn remember the good times and the love more than any gift you could give them.

• If you have issues with family and/or friends and you feel it would be healthier to exclude them from the festivities than do so.

Abusive and/or toxic relationships should be, for your own health and piece of mind, avoided and dealt with after the holidays.

Wishing you and yours all the very best for the holiday season!

Have you tried hearing aids before but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the plugged up feeling?

You will be amazed at how comfortable and natural sounding they are. After a few minutes, you will not even notice that you are wearing them. Never before have hearing aids been this comfortable and easy to adapt to.

Are they visible?

With only very thin tubing going into your ears, most people will not notice that you are wearing hearing aids. What they will notice is how well you are hearing.

&DOO 7RGD\ WR EH WKH ÂżUVW WR H[SHULHQFH a whole new level of Hearing!

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When you walk in the kitchen of The Great British Pasty & Pie Co., the smell transports you to what one can only imagine is a small old-fashioned British home.

Once you bite into the handcrafted pasty, your taste buds explode with the delicate mixture of local produce and spices from the traditional recipe.

The man behind these meals is Arnprior area resident Matt Grant, who has lived in the area since the late 1980s after coming over from England with his family.

Grant sells the pasties via his website http:// gbpastyandpie.ca with a pick-up at Arnprior Home Hardware Friday nights, and at the Ottawa Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market, which is having a special Christmas Market this weekend, Dec. 13 and 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne Park.

Grant encourages people to come to the market for a special holiday package and to see the beautiful new park.

He says for him the thing about a pasty, a pie that is semi-circular in shape that can be eaten with your hands and has a filling baked inside, is the feeling it evokes while eating it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You watch the customers, they bite into it and are transformed back into to when they were a kid; one customer was brought to tears because it was like their mum made,â&#x20AC;? said Grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My pasties are really good, not to blow my own horn but I have customers from Cornwall who say it is the best pasty they have had since they left England.â&#x20AC;?

To the people who have never had a pasty before, he encourages them to try one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a convenient meal and we use as much local ingredients as we can. My produce, as soon as it comes out of the ground I get it from Needhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market Garden, his stuff is amazing,â&#x20AC;? said Grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a health food, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a comfort food without the guilt.â&#x20AC;?

Grant says quality control is quite high in his kitchen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try one from each batch because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust a skinny baker, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good honest meal,â&#x20AC;? said Grant with a smile on his face.

TRADITIONAL FARE

The business started almost a year ago when he was having a rough day and was thinking about the last time he was in England eating a pasty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anything around, so I had to make them myself, so I made some and they turned out really well,â&#x20AC;? explained Grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I had some friends who popped by, they said it was amazing and one thing lead to another and a business was formed from that.â&#x20AC;?

He learned his craft from his mother, Linda, who he calls a talented and amazing cook; he also now uses a number of her recipes in his pasties.

A pasty is not a new creation as there is documentation of pasties back to Medieval Ages and its claim to fame is from Cornwall miners The miners would put leftovers in the thick pastry (Grant now uses a thin pastry with less

Tiffany Lepack/METROLAND

Matt Grant from The Great British Pasty & Pie Co. holds up a steak and Guinness pasty fresh from the oven. The Arnprior area chef will be at the Ottawa Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market Christmas Market at Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne Park this weekend (Dec. 13 and 14) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. carbohydrates), with a crimped, rope-like edge and would heat them using shovels over candles or fire.

They would hold the rope because they were mining tin and arsenic was present and then just throw the rope part away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the original convenience food they could eat on the go,â&#x20AC;? said Grant.

Grant makes small batches of 24 pasties at a time, which ensures freshness and allows for more vigorous quality control, and then sells them frozen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We fully cook them, then fast freeze them and put them in a high quality freezer bag so they will last in the freezer for six months, but they never do because everyone eats them way before that,â&#x20AC;? said Grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So you just pop it in the oven for 20 minutes on the rack; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a pan under it and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drip and mess up the oven. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any dishes at the end and then you just grab it and start eating it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so convenient.â&#x20AC;?

Although he started out with eight flavours, he now has 14 on the menu including two special creations for the Christmas season. Some of his most popular flavours are steak and Guinness, Cornish and cheese and onion, but it depends on the day Grant notes.

The last day to order for pick-up from the website, cash only, in Arnprior is Monday, Dec. 15 with the delivery on Dec. 19.

After the Christmas Market he will be taking a bit of a holiday break but will be back selling at the Winter Market at Lansdowne on Jan. 11. For the full menu and prices, visit http://gbpastyandpie.ca.

Urban likes Sport JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

A grand opening celebration was held Saturday to officially mark the changeover of Arnprior Sportland to Urban Sport. Above, Taylor Neumann and Erin Hicke lead employees in a ribbon-cutting. Left, 4-year-old Bryn Barr (behind) was the winner of the grand prize, a one-year lease of a 2015 RS Venture Yahama snowmobile, much to the delight of his father, Rodney Barr of the Pakenham area. Trying out the snowmobile with him are his brother Braxton and cousin Kayla Hartwick.

Yahama district sale manager Rai Manno welcomed new owner Urban Donlevy to the Yahama family and said he was excited about his plans for the dealership and involvement in the community. Donlevy said he was “overwhelmed” by the response to the open house, with close to 500 people attending by noon Saturday.

50 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, December 11, 2014

Grocery store calls for donations to feed Ontario food bank users News - Food bank use in Ontario has increased nearly 20 per cent since 2008 and Arnprior and West Carleton are no exceptions.

Many families struggle under the burden of substantial holiday costs at a time when children who rely on school nutrition programs are spending more time at home.

To help feed those in need, Loblaws stores, including NoFrills, are asking customers to donate two items to their local food bank at their outlets.

The retailer is also asking customers to share a picture of their donation with the hashtag #donate2items in an effort to get the entire province of Ontario involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donations from local stores and food drives are so critical at this time of year because they will help families during the holidays and ensure that food banks have enough food to share in the New Year,â&#x20AC;? said Food Banks Canada executive director Katharine Schmidt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If everyone in the province donated just two items at their local Loblaw banner store today, we would meet the average demand on food banks for December, January and most of February.â&#x20AC;?

Holiday Food Drive donation bins are located in store and cash donations are also accepted at checkoust. Ontarians are encouraged to provide the following most-needed items: 1. Pasta (canned or dry) and pasta sauces;

2. Canned meats and fish; 3. Meat alternatives (peanut butter, soy, assorted nuts); 4. Canned goods (beans, soups, and stews); 5. Dairy (canned and powdered milk); 6. Canned vegetables and fruit; 7. Whole grain cereals; 8. Infant foods and baby formula; 9. Bathroom tissue and diapers; 10. Personal hygiene products.

All food donations go directly to local food banks and all cash donations are split between Ontario Association of Food Banks and local food banks.

Since 2008, Loblaw customers donated more than $8.5 million and 8.9 million pounds of food to food drives across Canada. This year Loblaw has plans to raise more than $1.8 million and 1.8 million pounds of food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the largest grocery retailer, we believe we have a responsibility to help in the fight against hunger in Ontario,â&#x20AC;? said Loblaws senior director of community investment Peggy Hornell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are always wowed by the generosity of customers and colleagues and this year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reminding them of the impact their contributions make. If everyone in Ontario donated just two items we could potentially meet the demand on food banks for months to come â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where # donate2items comes into play.â&#x20AC;?

Adrienne Barr/METROLAND

Hooking up for a food bank donation The Arnprior and District Fish and Game club held its annual Beef and Bean Night recently in support of the Arnprior and District Food Bank. The event was well attended with guests from the Ministry of Natural Resources on hand to answer club membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; questions and provide updates on wildlife populations. Other attendees included guests from the Griffith-Madawaska Fish and Game Club. A total of $500 was raised in support of the food bank. Presenting the cheque to food bank representative Allan Smith are club president James Kucharik, left, and treasurer Murray Hughes. The money will help the food bank buy food for the Christmas baskets it gives out this month.

Don’t think of them as gone away…

Their journey has just begun.

Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one.

And think of them as living In the hearts of those they touched.

For nothing loved is ever lost, And they were loved so much.

The value of an Independent Insurance Broker

Following the July 2013 floods in Toronto, some homeowners were faced with severely inadequate coverage, contractors abandoning the job and no assistance from their insurer. It’s a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of chasing the lowest advertised premium.

Brokers provide value to their customers with good advice about the products and coverages they need, and support when they need it the most.

You need insurance on your home.

You know you need fire, you need theft and coverage for other damage and possibilities.
