News – Round two of negotiations between the Town of ArnpriorREGION and the Township of McNabBraeside on sharing recreation and library costs has begun.

New McNab-Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett is optimistic that an offer approved by Arnprior coun.COM cil last week is feasible, but he wants to do is homework before making anything official.

Arnprior council agreed on Dec. 8 to make McNab-Braeside an offer they have seen before, albeit for half a year. In fact, it is for the same figures the township rejected last spring by the former council.

The town hopes that McNab.COM

Braeside will contribute $48,353 to library costs and $79,483 to recreation for six months, from Jan. 1, 2015 to the end of June, while the two municipalities neREGION gotiate a longer term deal.

Peckett says the offer has been forward to the township office and was be discussed at the Dec. 16 council meeting (after press deadline). .CA Peckett did not want to comment on the specifics of the offer until council had more time to study it, but is happy that an offer has come from Arnprior. “I want to move forward with negotiations to reach the best possible agreement for both communities,� said Peckett. “The entire McNab-Braeside council ran on a platform to negotiate a new agree-

ment with Arnprior and I believe Arnprior wants an agreement as much as we do.�

Peckett is pleased that Arnprior stepped up with an agreement and presented an offer to the township, although he does not see any final decisions happening at the Dec. 16 meeting. “We want to move forward as quickly as we can,� said Peckett. “We have to do our due diligence.

I hope that something is in place early in the New Year.�

The interim dollar amounts which over the course of a year would work out to $96,706 for the library and $158,967 for recreation - was arrived at through a population calculation.

Warden eyes gender balance John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

neskie Moore in Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards.

The other 10 were men: Emon in Renfrew; Walter Stack in Arnprior; Tom Peckett in McNab-Braeside; Bob Kingsbury in Horton; Michael Donohue in Admaston-Bromley; Terry Miller in Whitewater Region; Bob Sweet in Petawawa; Garry Gruntz in Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan; Jim Gibson in Head, Clara and Maria; and John Reinwald in Laurentian Hills, Emon was scheduled to be installed for another term as warden at County council’s inaugural meeting Tuesday (after press deadline).

Submitted

Warden Peter Emon wants to see gender equality in the committee system.

2

News – With Peter Emon returning as County warden, expect gender equality in Renfrew County’s committee system.

Because there was such a turnover in the Oct. 27 election, Emon, who was unopposed as warden for a third term, is facing a challenge appointing the chairs and vice-chairs of the six main county committees.

There are only five returning county councillors, with 12 newcomers being elected.

Such long-time mayor/reeves as

Audrey Green, Raye-Anne Briscoe and David Thompson went down to defeat.

Nevertheless, Emon says he is intending to ensure that when a male chairs a committee, the vice-chair will be a female, and vice versa.

On Oct. 27 there were seven women elected to represent their municipalities at county council: Jennifer Murphy in Bonnechere Valley, Glenda McKay in Greater Madawaska Joan Lougheed in Deep River, Debbie Robinson in Laurentian Valley, Kim Love in Madawaska Valley, Deborah Farr in North Algona Wilberforce, and Janice Vis-

Continued from front

The event takes place at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior and is once again being organized by Tracey Climo and Erica Slater. “It’s for anyone who will be alone on Christmas Day or can’t cook or has financial issues; everyone is welcome,� said Climo. “It’s for anyone who wants to be with people on Christmas Day.�

The dinner has been running for six years. The first year they started with 60 people coming out to the meal and now they are close to 100 people. “If you are going to be alone, don’t be shy, please come out,� stressed Climo. “It’s very welcoming and we don’t want anyone to be home alone on Christmas Day.�

Both Slater and Climo emphasize that the event is open to all and everyone is welcome. “It’s so people can be out and not sitting alone; it’s something different for people to do,� said Slater.

If there are any housebound seniors who would like a meal delivered, they should call Liz Wall at Seniors At Home (613-623-7981), and she will arrange the delivery. “We would rather they come out to be with people, but we understand that some can’t,� said Climo.

The hall at the Nick Smith Centre will be decorated and there will be live music. “My dad, Ken Hepburn will be playing,� said Climo.

They started out using long banquet tables but have changed the tables to square ones to encourage people to socialize with each other. “It’s so people can sit and chat with each other,� said Climo. “It worked well last year.�

Climo and Slater both try to go around and greet everyone personally. The atmosphere is very welcoming. “It’s a nice, family-like, friendly atmosphere and a lot of people come back every year,� added Slater.

Another reason they decided to hold the dinner on Christmas Day and not a day close to the holiday is every place is closed and there is nowhere in town to get a hot meal.

The meal is free and they say it is made possible by generous community donations. A number of local businesses and families contribute each year, many who don’t want to be named. “It’s why it happens,� said Climo. “That people do that for each other, they are all amazing.�

The Nick Smith Centre is donated by the Town of Arnprior and the organizers say Glenn Arthur, the director of recreation at the town, is very supportive of the dinner.

It’s also a chance for people to give back right in the community. “For the businesses and individuals who have joined in, it means they are able to give back to something right here in Arnprior,� said Slater.

The two came up with the idea after chatting around the table and they thought it was just something that should be done and they thought why not them.

They stress they are not affiliated with any group or organization and just do it because they can. “The generosity of people in the community ‌ it gives you faith in the people in the town, that they are going to part with their hard earn dollars and help other people,â€? said Slater. “We just keep on being surprised, it’s wonderful.â€? “It gives us hope,â€? added Climo. “It’s nice that people care about each other.â€?

The meal is a traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimmings: turkey, an alternative meat such as ham, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, vegetables, buns and homemade donated sweet treats.

As well as the donations. it is the volunteers who make the event a success each year. On average they have 25 people, many who are returning, who help with the cooking, preparation, serving and more. “The volunteers come for a bunch of different reasons,� said Slater. “They want to give back at Christmas time.�

The pair continue to give back once the event is over. Any cooked leftovers they deliver to the Ottawa Mission and any other food is donated to the NeighbourLink Fountain.

To donate or for more information, call Climo at 613-623-7016 or Slater at: 613-623-6455.

M-B council replaces question period John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

News – The new McNabBraeside council is doing away with the public question period at the end of township council meetings.

Mayor Tom Peckett explained that instead all council members would be staying around after council meetings to answer public questions or hear comments or complaints one-on-one.

If a citizen or organization wants to formerly address all of council, it should apply to be added to the agenda under delegations and presentations, he said.

As well, council will hold regular town hall meetings when the public can share their comments and concerns, Peckett added.

He said that municipal experts tend to advise against open question periods because there is no way to prevent people from using them to raise rumours or untruths that could be slanderous to staff or others.

R.A. FUNDS

The former council’s allocation of $15,000 toward the planning of a new rec-

reation facility in the township caught the attention of the new council at its Dec. 2 meeting.

Councillors Heather Lang and Mark MacKenzie asked why the issue had been at first withdrawn then eventually carried at the Nov. 25 meeting.

Township acting CAO/ clerk Lindsey Parkes explained that the money was approved once it was determined it was available to be allocated.

Treasurer Angela Lochtie said the money went into a reserve to help fund plans for a new R.A. Centre, as council wanted the township to be ready to move ahead if grants became available.

While the idea was to replace the aging Braeside R.A. Centre, it’s up to council whether money would be spent on a facility in Braeside, she added.

Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden said he didn’t want people to think that council was spending money on something “we didn’t campaign for.”

“It’s still up to council to decide what we’re doing with recreation in the township,” said Mayor Tom Peckett.

“We’ll decide what to use that reserve for.”

Off-duty coverage added for firefighters

News – McNab-Braeside council is adding 24-hour insurance coverage for its volunteer firefighters.

Council approved a staff recommendation at its Dec. 2 meeting when approving a new insurance package for 2015. In approving the additional insurance costing $62 a member, Mayor Tom Peckett noted that “the world is

changing,” putting police and firefighters under additional stress, so the coverage is justified.

Fire chief Dave Hartwick agreed the department has had a few “difficult calls” over the last few years. The rationale for the change noted that fire-related heart attacks can occur up to 24 hours after firefighting duty.

ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS OF ENBRIDGE GAS DISTRIBUTION INC. Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. has applied to raise its natural gas rates effective January 1, 2015 Learn more. Have your say.

Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. has applied to the Ontario Energy Board to increase its natural gas rates effective January 1, 2015. Under the proposal, an average residential customer of Enbridge Gas would see an increase of $11 to the annual bill. Other customers, including businesses, may also be affected.

We will question the company on its case for a rate change. We will also hear arguments from individuals and from groups that represent Enbridge Gas customers. At the end of this hearing, the OEB will decide what, if any, rate changes will be allowed.

The OEB is an independent and impartial public agency. We make decisions that serve the public interest. Our goal is to promote a financially viable and efficient energy sector that provides you with reliable energy services at a reasonable cost.

News – Neither the town museum nor archives have asked for significant contributions from Arnprior council in the lead up to budget deliberations.

Before hearing from staff on the operation and capital expenditures side of the budget, council listens to presentations by organizations it typically funds in full or in part. Council heard from both groups, along with the airport, physician recruitment and the library during a Dec. 10 public consultation meeting.

Outreach is a major component of the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives, located in the public library basement. Volunteers presented 13 displays at everything from winter carnivals to summer festivals this year.

The 31 volunteers sit on the board process collections, help the public with their research, work on outreach displays and grants.

It has many volunteers, considering the size.

The one paid archivist and clerk are both parttime. The plan is to have the archivist become full-

time in 2015.

The archives enjoys funding from the town and township, $12,600 and $11,000, respectively. Another $5,000 comes from elsewhere, for a total of $28,600. Current expenses are set at $45,000. It has run a deficit for the last three years.

Among the items donated this year: • Chat Lake Yacht Club, material from Owen and Helen Bird, Rachel Stokes and the Symington family; • Macnamara Field Nauralist’s Club – minutes, newsletters and more from long-time members Sloan Waters and Eric Ridgen; • Nineteen newspapers dating 1897-1901 donated

by Calvin Buck (from former home of Mayor M.D. Graham, 241 John St. N.) including the Arnprior Chronicle, Arnprior Watchman and Arnprior News.

Archives president John Smith suggested his group join the municipality in moving if a new town hall is built.

“Over the past years, the archives has acquired many excellent fonds, which only enhance our collection,” Smith said.

“Unfortunately this reduces our available storage space. In the future, we will be looking for additional storage. On that aspect, I understand the Town of Arnprior may be looking at a new building. We would be proud to be part of this plan.”

Johnston visited the museum in July.

Children’s programs ran two days per week in summer and classes visited year-round.

The 71 volunteers contributed to 5,800 hours logged, saving $60,000 in wages.

Part of the reasoning for adding hours to the administrative assistant’s week has to do with successful grant applications from higher levels of government. Together with donations, more than $40,000 was awarded for exhibits, programming and staffing.

It will also allow for more class visits.

Five out of nine seats on the board of directors are vacant. A new Friends of the Museum is attempting to gain charitable status.

News – The driver accused in the dragging death of his wife appears in court today, Dec. 18.

Clive Mimnaugh, 66, was released on bail Oct. 6 but was back in the Ottawa Detention Centre at a later date, according to a Pembroke court spokeswoman. He is charged with dangerous driving causing death.

It was on Oct. 2 Mimaugh’s wife Pamela died from injuries sustained when struck by a motor vehicle on Charles Street in Arnprior, near Daniel Street.

Mimnaugh, from Edmonton, was arrested on scene. A newer blue Ford F150 half-ton with crew cab was parked on Charles about 10 metres from busy Daniel when police arrived in mid afternoon. It had no front licence plate.

A black sweater was on the ground behind it, and yellow crime scene tape stretched a long way down Charles.

Pamela Joyce Hobbs-Mimnaugh, 55, lived in Yukon and has family in Constance Bay.

Moe’s restaurant owner heads back to court ning of Jan. 19, 2014.

Fakih returned to retrieve some personal items. It was he who notified the tenants.

Fakih suffered second- and thirddegree burns on his hands and face and was hospitalized for 10 days.

The long-time resident of Arnprior, former owner of Pizza Pizza at that location, proclaimed his innocence in a Sept. 18 interview with the Chronicle-Guide.

“This is what I want people to know: I will have my day in court and prove my innocence,” he said at the time.

“Everyone who knows me knows what I am capable of doing and not capable of doing.”

EDITORIAL

Generosity wonderful, but governments should help too

I

t’s heart-warming to see the community rally around local charities this time of year. Arnprior and area is indeed full of caring, generous citizens.

Organizations such as the Salvation Army and the volunteers at the food bank are offering a commendable service, helping the most vulnerable in our midst enjoy Christmas too.

They provide a valuable vehicle through which a community can share the wealth and give those in need a welcome boost. That generosity can have a variety of positive results, especially if it helps children overcome poverty and disappointment.

If children are steered away from lifetimes of ill health, despair and crime that poverty can provoke, then we all benefit.

There are also other worthy causes being championed by various community groups.

It’s marvelous that they are taking up the challenge and raising donations for these causes, for without them the community would be much the poorer.

However, it begs the question: if these needs are so important, why aren’t our governments helping out more.

Take Valley Heritage Radio’s Holly Jolly Telethon. Whoever decided to choose suicide prevention as this year’s charity deserves hearty congratulations. It’s not the usual charity one would have expected the radio station to take on, but it embraced the cause with its usual combination of high spirits and thoughtful commentary. It was an inspiring and informative four hours of programming.

But it’s unfortunate that the Renfrew County Suicide Prevention and Crisis Centre doesn’t receive at least some government funding to help it with its crucial work. The good people at the

counselling centres won’t turn anyone away, so they don’t receive government help because there would be too many strings attached.

Same goes for the Arnprior and District Humane Society. Hats off to the society for its many innovative fundraisers, including the annual Pet Pics with Santa. But the senior levels of government shouldn’t be turning its back on group’s efforts to rescue animals just because it insists on running a no-kill shelter.

Shouldn’t Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home be getting a share of gas taxes to help with the Care Coach costs?

And shouldn’t the good-hearted health care specialists at Arnprior Regional Health be concentrating on keeping people healthy and making others well, instead of having to depend upon fundraisers such as the tree-lighting.

That said, it was wonderful to see the good cheer at the tree-lighting and the money raised was important, although it’s unfortunate it couldn’t have been allocated to an extra that would have made life easier for staff and/or patients.

If the hospital needs a surgical video tower to make it more efficient for surgeons and patients when it comes to necessary operations, the government should make sure it has that tower.

And then there’s the fight to eradicate child poverty. It’s marvellous to see the local schools and companies such as Century 21 and Sandvik partner with the Renfrew County Children’s Poverty Action Network. Good for them.

But in such a prosperous nation as Canada, it’s a disgrace that some children start life at such a disadvantage because of poverty. Community efforts to help are appreciated, but it’s our governments that should be doing more to address such a fundamental imbalance.

Enough already with Redmen complaints To the Editor: When a sports team picks a name for itself, it usually chooses one that is symbolic, motivates and instills a sense of pride.

Whether it is named after an animal, person, place, thing or a race, it is meant to reflect the strong qualities in the name that is chosen.

So the Chicago Bears, the Ottawa Senators, the Washington Capitals, the Maple Leafs, the Canadiens, the Lumber Kings, Sharks, Stars, Penguins, Jets, Packers, Eagles, I could go on and on are all O.K. But watch out in today’s society if your team is called - The Eskimos, The Black Hawks, The Redskins or even The Redmen!

Any logo that relates to those teams like a tomahawk, Indian head gear or a spear is being frowned upon by some who believe that this is stereotyping and is derogatory, insulting and

offensive to that particular race. Hogwash Why are institutions, governments and school boards cow-towing, bending over, kneeling, praying for forgiveness to these singular social activists and agreeing to drop the name and/or logo?

Take the local issue at Arnprior District High School having to go through a re-branding just because a native activist, Ian Campeau, asked for a change in the name. So ADHS removed the picture of an Indian Chief in full headdress on the gym wall, spears on the football helmet and changed the school’s Twitter image.

Why? Principal Neil Farmer in the ChronicleGuide is quoted as saying: “This is not a kneejerk reaction because of one person.�

Snow already here, but winter officially arrives Saturday News – As the snow continued to fall last week, a common refrain was, “look at all this snow and winter isn’t even here yet.”

Well, people can’t say that much longer.

Winter officially arrives in these parts at 6:03 p.m. this Saturday, Dec. 20. Saturday will be the shortest day of the year, but the good news is we’ve turned the corner and the days will be getting longer.

The predictions for this winter in Eastern Ontario vary, although most experts suggest we’re in for a roller coaster with temperatures up above normal some weeks and below nor-

mal on others.

Environment Canada has predicts winter won’t be as brutally cold as last year’s and will feel shorter because of the warmer days that will cause the snow to melt.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac suggests winter temperatures will be below normal with the coldest periods in mid-December, early and mid-January and early to mid-February. However, skiers and snowmobilers are hoping the Almanac is right in predicting above normal snowfall, especially around Christmas and in mid to late March.

Your style. Your way.

For the holidays!

Principal: don’t cave in to social activists Continued from page 8

Farmer claimed that the school is just gradually returning to its original intention: Redmen as a reference to the school’s colours red and white.

Fine, I agree colours fit into the name, but he goes on to say, “No decision has been made on the name,” Farmer said. “This is a natural progression.”

Seems to me that he has caved in to activists like Campeau and he is even willing to continue the debate to drop the school’s name of Redmen.

Back in the early ‘60s, I played team sports for the Redmen and I was proud to be a Redmen.

Not only did the name reflect our colours but also the spirit of the native Indian (or do I have to say Aboriginal?).

We wanted to play with pride, holding our heads up high, win or lose, like brave warriors, with determination and conviction against all odds, qualities inherent in native Indians.

To me that shows respect not disrespect.

In my mind, no way, logo or name involved are we showing disrespect for indigenous peoples. In fact it is the very opposite.

We are giving them credit and respect for the way they have fought their battles over the years, acknowledging their stronger qualities by incorporating them into our teams’ efforts as motivation.

So with all due respect I say to Mr. Campeau, “What do you find offensive or unacceptable in a name or logo that is used in a respectful manner? Do you have such little faith in your own people?”

And with all due respect to Mr. Neil Farmer, I say, “don’t offend our history, as principal, be proud of the name Redmen and because you said you wanted to talk to “everybody,” including me as a parent, show some courage by stating that the school will keep the name Redmen and stand up to the minority singular social activists like Campeau and bring back the chief.

One, two, three - Go Redmen!

T’is the season to count birds

Lifestyle - I suppose that to many of you, venturing out before dawn to count birds might not be as appealing as, say, throwing on a pair of skis and winding your way down a steep slope.

But to me, nothing is more enjoyable than being outside from dawn to dark, listening and looking for birds, and recording all that is encountered.

Tallying birds is especially enjoyable on a Christmas Bird Count (CBC). CBCs arose more than a hundred years ago as a protest to the annual Christmas Hunt in New York City, an event in which participants went out and shot every creature they encountered, returning to count the plunder and see who would claim “best hunter� bragging rights.

Today more than a thousand CBCs take part in North America, a half dozen occurring locally.

Each consists of a standardized area, a circle with a 7.5-mile radius, and takes Eastern Meadowlarks (grassland summer birds) and place on a set day that falls between midSnowy Owls (visitors from the northern tundra) very December and early January.

Dec. 14 was the first day of this year’s rarely meet. count period, and on that day I took part in the R0013046326

Community

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way Kingston CBC. As in all CBCs, participants are assigned a specific part of the count area to cover. My long-time friend, Rory MacKay, and I covered the southeast corner of Wolfe Island.

The first ferry to Wolfe left at 6:15 a.m.

By 7, Rory and I were calling for owls. A light drizzle appeared to have dampened the owls’ desire to respond, as we had no answers.

By dawn we were scanning the St. Lawrence River for ducks. Thousands of Redbreasted Mergansers and Long-tailed Ducks streamed by, heading downstream to feed for the day. Also present were thousands of Mallards and Canada Geese; with them was a lone Snow Goose, our first “good� bird of the day.

While one records all birds encountered

on a CBC, a rarity like a Snow Goose generates a rush of endorphins and bestows certain bragging rights upon its finder.

Rory and I had more than our share of those moments.

Over the day we also tallied an Iceland Gull, a Winter Wren (despite its name, a bird rarely seen here in winter), a Marsh Wren (an even rarer winter sight), and a Savannah Sparrow and an Eastern Meadowlark (both common here only in summer).

By 5 p.m. we had recorded 54 species, and tallied almost 20,000 individual birds (mostly ducks and geese).

There were other highlights. We spotted 15 Snowy Owls, an amazing number but one not unexpected this winter. For the first time in our lives we heard one call, a raspy, descending scream.

My next count, the Pakenham-Arnprior CBC, is my favourite. It takes place on Boxing Day and this year’s count will be my 49th consecutive one!

I am also the count’s organizer. If you would like to take part (even by recording the birds at your feeder if it falls in the count circle) in the count, or would like more information, please contact me.

While I cannot guarantee wrens or meadowlarks, I can promise a most memorable day.

That you can count on!

See snow, go slow says OPP News – With the arrival of winter weather in earnest last week, the Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), which includes the Arnprior office, is urging motorists to reduce their speed during snowstorms.

“Too many people continue to drive too fast, fail to leave enough distance between vehicles, and don’t give themselves extra time to stop when it is snowing out,” says the OPP in a news release last Friday.

“Winter driving can be challenging and motorists must adjust their driving for the weather conditions or they may find themselves sliding out of control or involved in collisions.”

For up to date road conditions covering provincial highways, call 511 or visit www.511. ca or join the conversation on Twitter #seesnowgoslow.

RIDE ROADSIDE CHECKS

Meanwhile, local police are continuing to conduct numerous RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) spot checks in their efforts to combat drinking and driving.

During the first 10 days of December, 66 RIDE spot checks were set up in the Renfrew OPP Detachment area. No charges of impaired driving have been laid.

Citizens are encouraged to continue with

their efforts to eliminate impaired driving, including reporting suspected impaired drivers by calling 9-1-1, having a designated driver, choosing to stay the night if they have been drinking, or calling a taxi.

“Don’t let an impaired driving tragedy ruin your holidays; drive sober,” urge the OPP. The OPP detachment responded to 313 calls for service between Dec. 1 and 10. Included were 13 domestic disputes.

One woman was charged with three counts of assault, three counts of fail to comply with probation, two counts of criminal harassment, two counts of domestic mischief and one charge of cruelty to animals.

DOOR-TO-DOOR SALES

If someone comes to your door to try to sell you something, make sure you know your rights, urge OPP. “You have the right to say no and tell them to leave your property,” stress police.

“You have the right to see identification and verify it if they are representing a company. You have the right to consider their sales pitch and take your time.

“If you do purchase something, you have the right to change your mind within 10 days and receive a full refund. Know your rights.”

LCBO collects donations for MADD Canada counters until Jan. 3. As part of LCBO’s Giving Back In Our Community campaign, customer service representatives are also inviting customers to add a $2, $5 or $10 donation to their purchase until Jan. 3.

The funds raised for MADD will support its school assem-

bly program, a film and inclass discussion that educates students about the risks of impaired driving. The program encourages students to make responsible choices, and to not drink or take drugs and drive or ride along with someone who has.

Off-road snow plow Last Thursday’s snow storm had the snow plow out in force as they opened up roads for the motoring public that was warned to beware slippery roads. Among the vehicles having a problem with the snow was this Township of McNab-Braeside snow plow, which flipped over on Robertson Line after hitting a big dip in road early in the morning. The truck sustained significant damage.

ETFO, the union representing public elementary teachers, announced last week that its members have voted 95 per cent in favour of strike under the new bargaining regime recently established in the education sector. â&#x20AC;&#x17D;Negotiations are slated to commence in January. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an historic moment for ETFO, as members voted online over a six-day period to strongly support their team at the central table,â&#x20AC;?

Elementary teachers take strike vote before talks begin said president Sam Hammond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going into bargaining, our members have sent a powerful message that they will not stand for a repeat of the last round of bargaining involving contract strips and unconstitutional legislation removing our bargaining rights.â&#x20AC;?

Auditor general, local MPP critical of smart meter program tlepack@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ontario debt and smart meter program were two areas of concern raised by the Auditor General of Ontario in her annual report released on Dec. 9.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski agrees that the matters should be of great concern to all Ontario residents.

In the report Bonnie Lysyk stated that the debt continues to grow faster than the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, which could have negative implications for the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances.

She recommended that the government should provide legislators and the public with a plan to manage debt in line with the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s net debt to GDP target of 27 per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the most scathing indictments of the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to act responsibility while spending the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money,â&#x20AC;? said Yakabuski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are on track to have a $325 billion debt by 2017/2018. The auditor general indicated clearly there is no credibility for the government to eliminate the debt by that time.â&#x20AC;?

As the Progressive Conservatives Energy Critic, Yakabuski was most interested in what the auditor general

said about Hydro and the Green Energy Act. He called what has happened with the smart meter program a fiasco. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government claimed that it would cost $1 billion dollars and it would reduce energy,â&#x20AC;? said Yakabuski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of that has happened, it cost twice that and has not reduced energy use.â&#x20AC;?

Lysyk, called the business case for the smart meters flawed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our audit found that the smart meter program was rolled out with aggressive targets and tight timelines but without nearly enough planning or monitoring by the ministry,â&#x20AC;? Lysyk

said in a press release on the report.

Yakabuski says the opposition will continue to press the government, saying the smart meters have been an abysmal failure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Global Adjustment will cost Ontario electricity customers $50 billion between 2006 and 2015,â&#x20AC;? Yakabuski stressed.

He noted the current Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli compared the Global Adjustment fee to a cup of coffee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is one heck of a cup of coffee,â&#x20AC;? said Yakabuski.

In Question Periods on Dec. 10 and 11, Yakabuski called for Chiarelli to

MPP to Liberals: treat all municipalities equally for gas tax News - Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski is trying once again trying to get a share of the provincial gas tax for rural municipalities.

Last week, Yakabuski re-introduced his Private Memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill that would bring â&#x20AC;&#x153;fundamental fairnessâ&#x20AC;? to Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural municipalities. The Gasoline Tax Fairness for All Act

would ensure that all municipalities share in a portion of the gas tax they pay.

Currently, the Gasoline Tax Act only permits those municipalities that have a rapid transit or public transportation system to get a tax rebate.

As a result, in 2014 only 96 out of 444 municipalities received money from the gas tax

even though every resident in the province pays into it. In this area, municipalities that receive service from the Renfrew-based Sunshine Coach receive a limited amount of the funding. But most County of Renfrew municipalities receive nothing.

For years Yakabuski has been advocating to amend the Act to ensure that all municipalities share in a portion of the gas tax. By making all municipalities eligible to receive a rebate, the provincial government would be creating an equal playing field, he argues.

He notes the federal government currently distributes their portion of the gas tax to all municipalities. There is nothing stopping the

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath also called for the resignation Chiarelli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The minister said the Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings were wrong because â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the electricity system is very complex. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult to understand.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Those comments are not only patronizing and arrogant, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sexist,â&#x20AC;? said Horwath in a release on the report.

province from distributing their rebates in a similar manner, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I first introduced this Bill in recognition of the fact that rural municipalities depend on their roads and bridges as the only public transportation available to them, yet receive no gas tax fundingâ&#x20AC;? Yakabuski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The longer the government takes to address the unfairness of the current funding model the larger the infrastructure problem becomes.â&#x20AC;?

Yakabuski noted that there is nothing stopping Premier Wynne from distributing the gas tax rebate to all 444 Ontario municipalities now that she has her majority government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are about to begin pre-budget hearings in the provinceâ&#x20AC;? concluded Yakabuski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the Premier earnestly wants to reach out to rural Ontario, she can do so by making my Private Memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill into a government bill.â&#x20AC;?

in the future, while earning money for the upcoming school year.

“Regardless of whether an employer has been successful in the past when they applied for funding from this program, I encourage all employers to make application if they need help to create a summer job for a student.”

Canada Summer Jobs provides funding to not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses (i.e. businesses with 50 or fewer employees), to help create summer job opportunities for students.

Not-for-profit employers could receive up to 100 per cent of the provincial/territorial minimum hourly wage and mandatory employment-related costs. Public-sector employers and small businesses, with 50 or fewer employees, could receive up to 50 per cent of the provincial/territorial minimum hourly wage.

Employers can apply online at servicecanada.gc.ca/csj.

Informa-

News – Employers can now apply for funding under the Canada Summer Jobs program.

The funding will create job opportunities for students across RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke and across the country.

Funding will be available to hire qualified young people aged 15 to 30, who are full-time students and intend to return to school in the fall. Nationally, it is estimated that up to 35,000 young Canadians will benefit from summer employment, while helping employers address skills shortages.

“Since 2000, I have helped many young Canadians obtain experience, training, and skills needed for better jobs,” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant in announcing that applications are now being taken.

“As part of the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment Strategy, Canada Summer Jobs helps students gain the skills and experience they need to be successful, now and

NeighbourLink Fountain spreads Christmas cheer all year long Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

Community – The Christmas season is about giving, but there is one local organization that is committed to giving back to the community all year long.

The Arnprior and District NeighbourLink Fountain (NLF) has been in Arnprior at 128 Mary St. (former Alexander Reid school) for just over five years now and its mission statement is to assist churches to express God’s love by effectively responding to the needs of the people in the community.

The NLF is a “welcoming dropin centre where people are nurtured and empowered in their everyday lives,” according to its website.

Fountain stands for a place where people come and find: Friendship, Opportunity, Understanding, Nurturing, Teaching, Acceptance, Inspiration and New Hope.

Robert Jones has been volunteer-

ing with the NLF for over five years and is the chair of the board of the Arnprior and District Paraclete Ministries, which runs the not-forprofit charity.

Jones says he finds volunteering at the NLF a rewarding experience.

“You see people come in looking like they are carrying the burdens of the world and they go out with a smile,” said Jones. “We are able to help people in small ways and they are not just a number.”

The centre is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and the number of people who regularly use the centre speaks for itself.

Jones calculates that over a twomonth period 150 people visited the NLF with more than 1,000 unique visits. The Fountain also has about 45 regular volunteers.

“It’s a warm welcoming environment,” said Jones. “It’s a safe place to be. It’s a great place to be your

community, to sit down, have a coffee and enjoy time with friends.”

The charity holds a number of fundraisers over the year to help with major expenses like rent and electricity, such as the fifth annual walkathon, which raised about $4,000 in September.

CHRYSLER DONATION

Arnprior Chrysler is running a December fundraiser. For every new or used car sold, it will donate $200 to the NLF. Mike Mulder, general manager at Arnprior Chrysler, calls the NLF a great organization.

“They fill a need that’s not necessarily met in the community,” said Mulder. “They help a lot of people.”

As to why he decided to support NLF: “I wanted to support something in the community and I felt they had a need,” said Mulder. “I like the fact a lot of churches in

thrift shop, activity centre for arts/ crafts, library, chapel, supervised children’s play area, and numerous workshops and events teaching life skills.

“If people are lonely or have specific needs, we can help with clothing or knick-knacks for their kitchens or (they can) have some soup in the café,” said Jones.

The NLF also works with the Arnprior Food Bank, the County of Renfrew, Salvation Army and other local agencies to help people find the resources they need.

“We connect people to other services,” explained Jones. “What it means to people who come is it’s a safe place where they can make friends and seek emergency help.”

The NLF is busily planning for activities in the New Year but will be closed from Dec. 19 and will reopen on Jan. 5, 2015.

Community – It’s the hottest ticket around.

That’s right; tickets for the 2015 Winter Fire Ball Fundraising Gala, hosted by the McNab-Braeside Firefighters Association are on sale now.

The gala will take place on Saturday, Feb. 14 at St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall at 295 Albert St., Arnprior, with entertainment being provided by the popular band Ambush.

“Tickets could make great gifts under the tree,” said co-organizer Kelly O’Rourke in an email to the ChronicleGuide.

The Fire Ball is open to everyone not just those in the fire service and serves as a fundraiser for the organization.

“We wanted to get the entire community involved in this,” O’Rourke.

“I don’t know a single woman who doesn’t like to get dolled up in a gown for one night. This year the Gala falls on Valentine’s Day so a ‘Love is in the Air’ theme is what we are going for.

We are making it very easy for the husbands to figure out what to do for their sweethearts on Valentine’s Day.” Tickets cost $45 each and the goal of the event is to raise funds for the department to purchase additional equipment.

“With last year’s funds we were able to purchase SCBA mask bags for each firefighter for their new equipment, which we received when the department purchased our new breathing

apparatus,” said O’Rourke.

Tracey Climo from Mel’s Flowers and Decorating is once again on board as the decorator and Chef Randy Paulen is the caterer.

Cocktails start at 6 p.m. and dinner is at 7 p.m. and there will be both a live and a silent auction.

Tickets can be bought at

Arnprior support it so it is fairly widespread across the community.”

In fact, 13 local churches support the NLF. As of last week, Chrysler had already sold 12 cars in December, which means the NLF is already set to receive $2,400 from the car dealership located on Madawaska Boulevard in Arnprior.

Mulder reminds people the fundraiser goes until Dec. 31, so there is still time to support the NLF through the purchase of a new or used car.

Jones thinks it is terrific that Chrysler is supporting the NLF. “It’s an indication that people are starting to realize the Fountain is there and it’s working,” said Jones. “It’s just fantastic that they are making the donation.”

There are a number of places for people to visit at the NLF, such as a café where you can enjoy light refreshments/soup. There is also a

So Glad 2 Be Me founder hands over program reins Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News - “I’m not sure if you would remember me, but I attended your So Glad 2 B Me programs about five years ago. I wanted to let you know that they really shaped who I am, and they made me a better, more confident person!

“Since attending those programs, I’ve started my own small business, volunteer with the local rescue, and I even entered a pageant!

Things that never seemed possible to me as a shy and self-conscious 11year-old. I still have, and hold dear most of the crafts and projects we during your programs, and I still have the unicorn cards you bought me too.

I am so thankful for your program and how it helped me, and so many other girls.”

It’s messages like these that make the whole thing worthwhile for So Glad 2 Be Me founder Jen Charbonneau of Arnprior.

This came via a Facebook post from a young woman from Renfrew.

After 12 years of delivering the self-esteem boosting program for young girls, Charbonneau has handed over the reins of the program.

It was quite the ride.

“This is my baby,” said Charbonneau, a mother and businesswoman who put her whole heart into creating So Glad 2 Be Me. “It’s been 12 years of designing, creating, and coming up with seven

different programs.”

Diana Earle of Newcastle, Ont., is giving So Glad 2 Be Me fresh perspective and a new location. Charbonneau and Earle, an Ontario Power Generation (OPG) inspection technician, met through the EmPOWERed Women leadership program Earle attended through OPG. The So Glad 2 Be Me program helped inspire Earle to get a degree in psychology and also to take the Christopher Leadership Course in public speaking.

Through her work at OPG, Earle has learned how much she enjoys teaching others when she began training her colleagues.

This knowledge spurred a search to participate in self-development workshops, yoga and meditation retreats, and collaborating with talented and positive men and women.

“Life has its way of happening and working itself out for you,” said Charbonneau.

After making the decision it was time to move on, Charbonneau set about emailing Earle to see if she’d be interested in taking over.

“It’s a whole other area of Ontario,” she said. “And a whole fresh perspective from a young, energetic person.

There are more girls to help.”

When Charbonneau first met Earle, she sensed good things and the two kept in touch for the next while and became friends.

“She has a passion to help young girls,” said Charbonneau.

Earle has spent the past few months getting set up and ready and is hosting her first workshops this December.

When Charbonneau’s daughter was severely injured in an ATV accident, her focus immediately shifted solely on being there and helping her daughter recover.

Charbonneau stepped away from So Glad 2 Be Me, which helped form her eventual decision to pass the program on to Earle.

While her daughter is doing very well now, it was just time for a change and the transition has been much easier knowing So Glad 2 Be Me is in good hands.

Charbonneau is now involved in Jockey clothing and finds it a rewarding, challenging job in which she is continuing her work in promoting self-esteem and female empowerment.

The highlights for Charbonneau are many and include the very first summer camp she held at her Arnprior home.

“I actually had it all figured out and down to a science,” she said. “It all came together.”

A full week in James Bay, northern Ontario working with young girls in the remote community also comes quickly to mind when she looks back over the years.

“They really responded to So Glad 2 Be Me. They needed it,” said Charbonneau.

Free movie Sunday at O’Brien Theatre to help festive fundraiser Community – A local realty company is getting in the Christmas spirit by supporting Karen Kavanagh’s Families Helping Families (Arnprior, McNab/Braeside) program.

Clint and Jessica Pettigrew, the Royal LePage father/daughter real estate team, are sponsoring a free Christmas movie this Sunday, Dec. 21, 11 a.m. to1 p.m. at the Arnprior O’Brien Theatre.

“Please come out and support Families Helping Families fundraiser and community event,” said Jessica. “Please note, a donation is not mandatory for entry to the theater, but will be greatly appreciated.”

Families Helping Families is a Christmas fundraiser, run and managed by Kavanagh and her family, which, with the help of many generous community members, raised enough food and monetary donations

last Christmas to feed 34 families in need within the community.

As of Monday, Dec. 15, the Kanaughs have received enough donations to help 60 families with a turkey meal, breakfast meal, gift for each family member, $25 gift card for Walmart and a gift bag of toiletries This year, some of these families in need have come forward privately and many others have been recommended anonymously via the NeighbourLink Fountain, the Arnprior and District Food Bank and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 174 Arnprior.

Honorable mentions go out to the Arnprior Optimist Club, Beauty Boutique, Town Hall, Sweet and Sassy, and Jessica and Clint Pettigrew for their support and dedication to making sure not a single family in

the town goes hungry on Christmas Day. Donations of non-perishable and frozen foods, clothing, toiletries, unwrapped gifts or gift cards, and warm winter gear are all welcome and can be brought to the theatre between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Dec. 21.

So come out Sunday, Dec. 21 at 11 a.m. to enjoy a free Christmas movie and help by donating to the Families-Helping-Families initiative.

News – More than 100 representatives of government, community groups, citizens and property developers came together in the county on Nov. 19 to celebrate National Housing Day. Hosted by the County of Renfrew and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the one-day event began with greetings from County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon.

“Partnerships are important,” he said.

“It’s great to see so many people here today building those partnerships ... it takes a network of like-minded people working in partnerships to meet the needs of our community.”

The day continued with a presentation from Renfrew County Housing Corporation general manager Carol Neill, who delivered an overview of the 10-year housing and homelessness plan for the County of Renfrew. CMHC representatives presented financial tools for afford-

able housing development as well as accessible housing by design.

The conversation opened up with an affordable housing panel of community experts who fielded questions from the audience. The panel of experts included health services, charitable organizations and a private developer. The panel presented initiatives to engage property developers and community stakeholders with the development of affordable housing to create sustainable communities.

A highlight of the day was an inspirational presentation by Joe Roberts, the ‘Skid row CEO’. Roberts spoke about how to stay inspired and motivated, and gave insight into what being homeless means from an insider’s perspective.

Participants went away from the day having heard about the many tools available to help individuals, community groups and business interests explore and finance new construction.

Sports –Arnprior was losing going into the third period against the Shawville Pontiacs, on the road Dec. 14, but three goals in the final period secured a 5-3 win for the Packers.

The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJL) team now sits in third place in the Valley Division with a record of 14-10-1, four points behind Stittsville and nine back of Renfrew. The win moved Arnprior four points ahead of fourth-place Shawville.

Bill Griese, Packers general manager and head coach called the effort sluggish hockey.

“We played a men’s beer league type of hockey, we were not cohesive, we were not crisp on anything except the power play,” said Griese in an email to the Chronicle-Guide.

“We got by on talent alone and some good goaltending late in the game.

We were lucky to win, but good teams have a habit of doing that.”

Shawville had the first goal at 6:40 of the first, but Packer’s Casey Doner answered back at 6:57, assisted by Luc Deschamps and John McLean.

The Pontiacs added one more in the first period.

The second period had the teams exchange goals, with Deschamps scoring at 19:11 assisted by McLean and Doner. Doner helped put the game away in the third with two more goals, finishing off the hat trick, with

PACKERS TRADE

On Dec. 10 the Packers agreed to finalize the future consideration

aspect of a trade with the Almonte Thunder for Riley McEwan.

Arnprior agreed to a player development fee for the playing rights of Brandon Mendham for the balance of the current season. His playing rights will revert back to Almonte for the 2015-2016 season.

“Brandon brings stability, much skill and experience to the club,” said Griese. “He’s a top-two defenceman on any team in the league … (we are) lucky and very pleased to get him.”

In 21 games with the Thunder this season, Mendham had four goals, 13 assists for 17 points and 14 penalty minutes.

PROSPECTS GAME

On Saturday, Dec. 13, the two EOJHL Prospects games were played in Arnprior. Three players were named to the Valley team from Arnprior: Jack Rouleau, Mateo Scapilatti and Curtis Foster. Rouleau scored two goals in the win for the Valley team, which defeated the St.Lawrence prospects 7-4.

Rouleau was also named the Valley Division’s most valuable player in the game. “The way Jack played at the prospects game is the way he plays every night, “said Griese.

“He pays attention to his defensive responsibilities and then jumps on the other team’s mistakes.”

Foster is still out with an injury and did not play. Braydon Harvey is also injured and they are both ex-

pected back in mid-January.

Scapilatti played in the Valley Division’s net the last period and made 14 saves on 15 shots and stopped a couple of breakaways.

In the other game, the EOJHL’s Metro Division played to a 1-1 draw with the Rideau Division prospects.

NEXT GAMES

The Packers have two games before the Christmas break. On this Friday, Dec. 19 they host the Clarence Beavers at the Nick Smith Centre at 8 p.m. and on Saturday, Dec.20 they travel to Almonte to face the Thunder at 7:30 p.m.

Griese says two wins are important to keep pace with Renfrew and Stittsville, but he is looking forward to getting some players back this week.

“We need to work on our game pace and we need to start dictating how we want to play. We’ve been sitting back for three weeks now due to so many guys missing that we’re in a rut right now,” said Griese.

“We should be a high tempo team with better puck movement, but I understand with so many guys missing it was more important to win these games rather than worry about how we won them, so that will be the key for the rest of the season.”

After the week-long Christmas break, the Packers host Shawville on Sunday, Dec. 28 at 2:30 p.m. and then head to Renfrew on Dec. 30 for an 8 p.m. start.

Juvenile Packers enter Christmas break undefeated with 11 wins

On Friday, Dec. 12, the Packers www.stittsvilleoptometry.com hosted Osgoode Rideau and won 6-

assists from Deschamps and Dallas Farr.

“I’m sure Casey will say the same thing, but he did not play well; he’s been off for two weeks and it showed, but, again, he’s smart, he knows where he should be on the ice, and, he knows where the puck’s going most of the time and he relies on that,” said Griese when asked about Doner’s hat trick.

“He’s hard to play against because he reads the play so well and when you think you have time he’s on you.”

Deschamps was the game’s first star, Doner was second star and goalie Dominic Plaschy was the third star, making 27 saves. “Dominic played well in the last few minutes. Other then that he struggled as well.

“He again has been off for over a week concentrating on exams, so that was to be expected, but he bailed us out in the last minute of the game when we were short-handed,” said Griese. “Good goaltenders come up big and at the most important times and he did that.”

The Packers were set to host Shawville on Dec. 10, but the game was postponed due to the inclement weather, Griese says the game has yet to be re-scheduled but hopes it will be announced this week.

On Saturday Dec. 13 the Juvenile Packers defeated the Royals 7-4 and Dunn had a five-point night with

three goals and two assists.

Other goal scorers were McCormick, Zvonarich, Braeden Broome and Chad Brennan.

Arnprior goaltender Laura Graham frustrated the Osgoode team with many saves that looked impossible, but the puck ended up in her glove. It was a marvelous demonstra-

tion of a quick eye and a rapid glove hand, said manager Doug Heeney.

The Juvenile Packers next game is in Arnprior at the Nick Smith Centre on Jan. 3.

The team is looking forward to defending last year’s win at the Gordon Cooper Honorary tournament in Nepean Jan. 9-11.

Young Arnprior wrestlers compete in Quebec Sports – Three Arnprior Club wrestlers competed at the Riverdale Invitational in Quebec on the Nov.29-30 weekend.

The tournament was a great way for the wrestlers to see competitors from outside their province with some teams coming from Nova Scotia and several from Quebec.

Coach Kevin Mayhew was very impressed with how well the Arnprior wrestlers competed in only their second tournament of the season.

Jolie Brisco and Brian Sheeler

both placed second in strong weight classes and Lily Lafont placed third in her division.

The Arnprior team travelled to Kingston for a meet the next weekend, but a meet in Renfrew last weekend was cancelled.

The Arnprior District High School team and club are still looking for more male and females youths ages 8-18 to join a team that has had quite a lot of success in wrestling over the years provincially and nationally as well as at the Ontario championships (OFSAA).

WENDY MAYHEW SUBMITTED

The Arnprior Amateur Wrestling Club members competing in Quebec with coach Kevin Mayhew are Lily Lafont, Brian Sheeler and Jolie Brisco.

Roads cleared in good time after major storm Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

The first significant snowfall of the season last week hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thrown the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snow-clearing budget out of whack.

The townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public works director Guy Bourgon says the town is still on target with its snow clearing budget despite the more than a foot of snow that fell Dec. 10-11.

The total budget for the year is $537,000 and as of last Friday, the town has spent $439,000 on snow clearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are doing good. There are only a few weeks left in December, so we are pretty much on target, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the weatherman,â&#x20AC;? said Bourgon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we get a lot more snow â&#x20AC;Ś every snowfall costs money.â&#x20AC;?

The weather stations started to forecast Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storm as early as Monday, so the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public works department was ready and started to salt the roads before the major snow hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we were going to get some,â&#x20AC;? said Bourgon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were projecting four to six inches and

Fun in the Snow

we got over a foot. It was a really heavy snowfall and came faster than expected.â&#x20AC;?

Bourgon explained the snow started to fall heavily on Wednesday, Dec. 10 at 10:30 p.m., so at 1 a.m. on Dec. 11 the decision was made at 2 a.m. to deploy the crews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a good accumulation of snow at that point,â&#x20AC;? said Bourgon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had the roads cleared by noon and because of the heavy wet snow and the depth of it, the sidewalks took a little longer.â&#x20AC;?

Bourgon was proud of the effort of his team given the snowfall of that magnitude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did a very good job, as of today (Friday) it is almost all cleared away,â&#x20AC;? he said.

In each major snowfall, public works tackles the major roads in Arnprior first, with its three plows, loader and one-tonne truck. They clear first the following areas: Madawaska Boulevard, Madawaska Street, Daniel Street, and the downtown core (Elgin and John streets) down to the hospital.

Once those areas are clear, the crews work to clear the residential streets.

Tiffany Lepack/ metroland

The snow came down on Thursday, Dec. 11 and the kids, who had a snow day, hit the Havey Hill (near the Nick Smith Centre).

Arnprior received almost 20 centimetres and Ethan Hanson took advantage of the fresh white powder.

Here he zooms down the hill.

The students are will have plenty of time for snow play with the Christmas holiday starting this Saturday, Dec. 20 and running to Jan. 5.

The ‘WE Club’ at McNab Public School, a group of grade 7 and 8 students interested in supporting local and global causes, raised $406 through school popcorn sales to support the Arnprior and District Food Bank. Food bank president Cathy Tonkin visited the school and graciously accepted the cheque from the students and explained the money would be used towards the food bank’s perishable food purchases. The cash donation was particularly timely, as the food bank is buying food for special Christmas baskets it is putting together for families, some from McNab-Braeside, using its services. Well done, McNab Public School, said an appreciative Tonkin.

Penny’s Fudge Factory in Fitzroy Harbour will re-open May 1 Tiffany Lepack tlepack@metroland.com

News – Fudge fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

Penny’s Fudge Factory, a fixture in West Carleton for 25 years, will re-open on May 1, as owners Syd and Judy Gravel, who retired in October, have sold the business to Vic and Carol Bodé.

The Bodés first heard about the sale in October on CTV’s Regional Contact and inquired about buying it then.

However, there was an-

other couple interested in purchasing the store as well.

They decided to put in an offer anyway, the other couple backed out and their deal was finalized on Dec. 9.

The pair also own Scoop’s Ice Cream and Carnivic Lodge, both in Pakenham.

“Penny’s Fudge Factory is an Ottawa Valley tradition that is important to keep going,” said Vic Bodé.

“Oh my goodness, are we excited.

Penny’s Fudge Factory will re-open in Fitzroy Harbour after being sold to Vic and Carol Bodé of Pakenham. The sale was finalized on Dec. 9.

“It will be business as usual at Penny’s Fudge Factory come May 1 with the addition of some Scoop’s Ice Cream.”

As of now the name will stay the same with one new addition; they will be bringing in some ice cream treats from Scoop’s.

“We will be making an investment to bring Scoop’s to Fitzroy and I think people will enjoy that,” said Vic. The Gravels are very pleased that the business will keep going and have wished

Vic and Carol all the best on their new adventure.

“I think they will do wonderfully and we are very excited that they want to carry on our business after 25 years and make it even better,” said Syd. Syd and Judy will be teaching the Bodés how to make fudge and Vic says they are absolutely wonderful people who are very helpful.

“We think they are both fun businesses and we are looking forward to making

fudge,” said Vic. It is also important for Vic that another small local business did not close.

“It’s so important for young people to have a great summer place to work and learn,” he said.

The Gravels made the announcement on Facebook on Friday, Dec. 12.

By Monday morning they had more than 700 likes and had reached close to 9,000 people with the news of the sale and re-opening.

News – Arnprior’s Century 21 Explorer Realty office and the Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN) have issued a thank you to Arnprior and area residents for their support of the snowsuit campaign.

Both says they are grateful to the residents of Arnprior and area for showing their generosity again this year by donating many warm snowsuits, jackets, pants and boots to the campaign conducted by Century 21 Explorer Realty staff.

CPAN officials are “very pleased” with the support that the Arnprior area gives, and want to reassure those concerned about whether or not their donations are distributed locally “that (sadly) a large percentage of the donations are sent to Arnprior.”

Century 21 also reminds everyone that while receiving new clothing is amazing, gently used snowsuits are also welcomed.

Keep that in mind for 2015 when your children have outgrown theirs, they say.

“Thank you everyone. Century 21 Explorer Arnprior and CPAN wish you a very warm and Merry Christmas.”

From baking to birthdays, December a special time Lifestyle - For me, the month of December was the best time of the year.

The planks on the wood horses in the summer kitchen were loaded with cake tins and pies wrapped in many layers of newspapers, and then covered with a thick quilt.

Mother lived in dread that a mouse would invade what she had spent hours making for Christmas, but Father said they would have to have teeth like a chain-saw to get through all the wrappings Mother had put around every morsel.

Every time I went into the summer kitchen, to get wood to load up the wood box, I could smell cinnamon and ginger coming from the mounds on the planks, and I would think to myself what a wonderful time of year was December!

Of course, that was the month of my birthday too. But the day came and went like most others, although Mother always made a cake for me, and put in a few coins wrapped in wax paper. That was as far as a birthday celebration went.

And my brothers always gave me something they had made. For the boys that could mean

used to sing Happy Birthday dear Mary, until my sister Audrey told me I was just to listen and be quiet.

And by the middle of December, the snow would be knee deep, the old Model T MARY COOK would be up on blocks in the drive shed, and everywhere anything from a sling-shot for which I had abso- we went, we traveled in the cutter or the flatlutely no use, or a crudely whittled animal. But bottom sleigh.

By then Father would have attached the brass I was expected to heap abundant thanks on bells to the horse’s harness, and I would think them for whatever they gave me.

My sister Audrey, without fail, would take there wasn’t a more wonderful sound in the a nickle out of the corner of her hankie, and entire world than those bells, especially if we it would be sitting at my supper plate at night. were traveling at night and the moon was out, “Too close to Christmas” Mother would say, and the fields looked as if they were covered which meant “don’t expect anything more than with millions of diamonds.

I would think that time of year was the most the cake.”

But sitting around the kitchen table the night wonderful of any month before or after, and of my birthday, in the middle of December, I never once did I think we were poor. I would would feel the utmost contentment. We would think we were the richest people in the world.

In December, Turkey Fair would have come linger over our piece of cake, and Mother would get out her harmonica, and we’d all sing and gone, and I would know that the blue sugar ‘Happy Birthday’. When I was very young I bowl would be fuller than at any other time of the year.

And it was in December that our order from Eaton’s catalogue would arrive, delivered right to our door by the mailman.

And it was in December that we would collect the many new calendars handed

out free of charge from so many of the stores in Renfrew. Most had beautiful coloured pictures of mountains, or big black horses, and always my favourite, from Scott’s Hardware, a picture of Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose in their smocked dresses and strings of pearls.

The Rexall calendar was Father’s favourite, and it went right to the cow byre. It was always a blue colour, and on the monthly sheets, which were the full size of the calendar, were lists of new medicines to treat everything from the common cold, to dealing with livestock ailments, which was of interest to Father.

And as the month went on, I would be filled with the utmost excitement, knowing Christmas was just days away. Although presents were few and far between, I knew for a fact that Santa Claus would come. He never forgot my house on the Northcote Side Road. Always he left me a book, and a toy of the simplest kind, and there would be new hand knit mitts, and always the orange in the toe of my stocking.

So all December would be one of sheer joy of the season and what it meant. My life would be filled with anticipation. Special church services, neighbours coming to visit, the school concert, secret trips by Mother and Father into Renfrew, and if we were lucky, the hand-medown box from Aunt Lizzie would arrive in time for Christmas.

When I was very young, and unaware of the hardships around me, December was always the most wonderful month of the year.

News - The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is reminding anglers to check local ice conditions before heading out onto the ice to fish.

Ice conditions can be deceptive and variable, warns the ministry in a news release last week.

Remember: • Ice does not freeze at a uniform thickness across most lakes and rivers. This can be even more hazardous at the start of the winter season when near-shore ice is often much thicker and safer than ice further out.

Check thickness regularly with a spud bar or auger as you move further out on the ice.

• Not all ice is created equal. Ice that has formed over flowing water, springs, pressure cracks, old ice holes or around the mouths of rivers and streams can be weaker than surrounding ice.

• Clear blue ice is the strongest.

White or opaque ice is much weaker.

Ice that has a honeycombed look, common during thaws or in the spring, should be avoided altogether.

• Travelling on frozen lakes or rivers with snowmobiles or vehicles can be particularly dangerous and added precautions must be taken. At least 20 centimetres (eight inches) of clear blue ice is required for snowmobiles and 30 centimetres (12 inches) or more is needed for most light vehicles.

This thickness should be doubled if the ice is white or opaque.

• Heavy snow on a frozen lake or river can insulate the ice below and slow down the freezing process.

Before venturing out: • Check ice conditions with local ice hut operators or other anglers.

• Let others know where you’re planning to fish and when you plan to return.

• Appropriate clothing and equipment are critical to safety and comfort; many anglers wear floatation suits and carry a set of ice picks.

Foods that could potentially harm your pets

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

Bonnie, a 4-year-old miniature Pinscher rescued from a puppy mill, is enjoying her new life as shown by her willingness to visit with Santa at the Arnprior Humane Society’s Pet Pics with Santa. Bonnie is being fostered by the humane society’s Val Hemphill. Money raised at the fundraiser Dec. 6-7 goes toward operation costs for the society’s no-kill shelter in Arnprior.

Lifestyle – Often I hear stories of dogs that counter surf or remove food from the table, etc.

Although it sounds funny, the following is a list of five foods that could potentially kill your dog.

One of the best ways to prevent such bad behaviour is to teach your dog to “leave it” or “drop it.” These commands will prevent them from consuming dangerous foods both at home and outdoors. As well, train young children not to leave things where dogs can get into them.

1. Chocolate - While the amount of chocolate your dog consumes will also determine the toxicity, symptoms of chocolate poisoning to look out for can include vomiting, diarrhea and seizures. The darker the chocolate is the more serious the poisoning can be, making baker’s chocolate and cocoa powder more dangerous than milk chocolate.

2. Xylitol - An artificial sweetener found in sugarless gum, candy, and baked goods. Although Xylitol may be approved for people, it can cause liver damage and a life-threatening drop in blood sugar in dogs. According to the Pet Poison Helpline (PPH), a 10-pound dog would only need to eat a single piece of sugar-free gum to reach a potentially toxic dose. Low

Pet Talk

IAN STUPP blood sugar can develop within 10 to 15 minutes of ingestion, in addition to vomiting and loss of coordination, says PPH. 3. Grapes - Both grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs.

The signs of poising could include vomiting, increased urination and increased thirst.

4. Onions/Garlic - If eaten in large amounts, onions and garlic can cause the destruction of red blood cells and lead to anemia in dogs. Although the size of the dose determines the level of poisoning, lethargy and a reduced appetite can be symptoms of a toxic reaction.

5. Alcohol - Beer, wine and cocktails aside, alcohol can also be found in desserts and can be created in your dog’s stomach if they ingest homemade or store bought yeast dough used in making bread, rolls and pizza.

Even small amount of alcohol, both ingested through alcoholic beverages and produced in the stomach, can be life-threatening. Symptoms can include seizures.

As temperatures keep dropping, we should be aware of the dangers of keeping our pets outdoors longer than they need to be.

Frostbite is a condition that can occur in both cats and dogs as a result of exposure to freezing or subfreezing temperatures.

It most commonly affects the tips of the ears, the tail, the scrotum (in unneutered males) and the feet (especially the toes).

Rule of thumb, if it too cold for you to go outside, then it is too cold for your pets to be outside.

Ian Stupp owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North, Arnprior. For comments or suggestions, he can be reached at 613-623-6200 or wagswhiskers@ hotmail.com.

Selling Hydro One’s Distribution System Is A Bad Deal For Ontarians Ontario’s Advisory Council on Government Assets has recommended splitting up Hydro One’s distribution and transmission businesses.

They also recommend that a majority share of Hydro One’s distribution assets and customers be sold to private interests to raise money for transportation infrastructure.

What it really means is higher electricity prices for consumers, and hundreds of millions in annual revenues will be lost to the province.

During extreme weather events Hydro One delivers world-class storm response services to customers throughout Ontario.

With even more frequent and severe weather events predicted due to climate change, should these services be jeopardized?

While selling these assets for a one-time benefit may be a good deal for private shareholders, lawyers, financial advisors and bankers, it is a bad deal for Ontario consumers and taxpayers.

Please ask Premier Wynne to protect the public interest and keep these assets in the hands of Ontarians.

Heritage Radio listeners donate $20,000 for suicide prevention for the Renfrew County Suicide Prevention and Crisis Centre, a branch of the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre.

Even Jamieson, who has hosted telethons and radiothons in the Ottawa Valley for close to three decades, was blown away by the continued support of the good folks in communities around the region.

“If you can give the people a reason to give, they will,” said Jamieson. “And this year it was for a cause that affects so many people around the area.

“People opened up their

hearts and their wallets. Look at the end result - $20,000 in four hours. Are there any better people than people in the Valley and the Pontiac?”

Station manager Jason Marshall said he couldn’t be happier with the amount of money donated, but is equally impressed with the amount of exposure given to the suicide prevention centre.

“They can obviously use the money to keep the doors open and keep doing the great work they do, but the biggest thing about today is letting people know there is a place to turn if you need help,” said Marshall.

“The more we worked with this group the more it became clear they are amazing people doing amazing things. They are life savers. Literally, this group is saving lives in our communities.”

Tom Sidney, director for the centre, actually received a call during the radiothon from a woman who didn’t know where to turn. She was very concerned about her daughter’s state of mind, and was worried she may hurt herself.

When the woman heard about the centre on the radio during the fundraiser, she picked up the phone and reached out to speak to Sidney.

“Because of the radiothon, this woman found out about us and we’ve set up an appointment to talk to her and get her the help she and her family needs,” said Sidney. “We raised a lot of money, but it can’t compare to maybe saving someone’s life because of the publicity we received through this event.”

Sidney and the team at the centre were ecstatic with the fundraiser and how it all turned out.

“Thank you to everyone that

“On behalf of the Robbie Dean Centre and all the families that will benefit from your hard work, dedication and support, thank you. What a fantastic, heart-warming day.”

Sidney said the money will go towards expanding the centre’s current services, which includes walk-in clinics in Pembroke, Petawawa, Arnprior and Renfrew. The centre will also look to jumpstart a pro-active information campaign at area schools, and launch suicide survivor groups.

Anyone wishing to contribute to the centre, or learn more about the services offered, can contact Sidney at 613-433-4231.

This year’s event was cosponsored by Ontario Power Generation.

Civitan given new hope for Frost Fest funding Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com

R0013055781

News – The Pakenham Civitan Club now has a new way to potentially receive funding for its popular Frost Festival event, after a resolution was endorsed by Mississippi Mills Committee of the Whole Dec. 9.

The resolution recommends to council that they amend the municipal grants policy to permit service clubs to be eligible for grants for community festivals only, an important revision for the Pakenham Civitan Club.

Recently, Doris Rankin, president of the club, presented as a delegation to council, asking it to consider the multi-day Frost Festival as one all-encompassing event and to, therefore, give the club an overall discount on all related Pakenham Community Centre bookings.

“In the interest of ensuring that this event continues and remains strong after so many years, the Civitan club is requesting that Mississippi Mills partner with them as it does with other events that define Mississippi Mills,” said Rankin at the Nov. 25 committee of the whole meeting.

All not-for-profit groups within Mississippi Mills are eligible to receive one 50 per cent discount on a hall rental booking per year. This is something that the Civitan club has been granted in previous years (including 2014) for their Frost Festival festivities.

However, because the Frost Festival takes place over several days, the club has still had to pay full price for other hall bookings they made for the event.

Rankin asked for the town to view the festival as one event and to grant the club a 50 per cent discount on each hall booking made during that time. This could make the financial difference between Frost Festival continuing or being forced to shut down, she said.

In response, Calvin Murphy, the town’s recreation director, recommended that instead the club should be permitted to apply for municipal funding for their community event, which would alleviate the financial pressures on the festival.

The current municipal grants policy does not list service clubs, such as the Pakenham Civitan Club, as being eligible to apply for funding for community events.

However, if the resolution is passed

at council in January, the policy will be amended to permit service groups to be eligible to apply for grants for community festivals only.

“That specification is very important,” Murphy said.

“We want service groups to be able to apply for funding for community events. This way, everyone comes through the same door and is treated equally and fairly.”

If this resolution is passed, the club will be permitted to apply for municipal funding for their event in 2015 and in the future they won’t need to worry about the hall rental discount, Murphy said. Instead, they can be eligible for funding along with other community festivals.

Since the deadline to apply for a municipal grant for 2015 has already passed, Committee of the whole also passed a recommendation to council that, should the municipal grants policy be amended, grant funding be considered in 2015 for the Frost Festival.

“This way everyone is subject to the same treatment,” Murphy said. “Fair is fair.”

This item will come before council at their first meeting in January.

Bravo to the Blackbird CafĂŠ.

Thank You Betty CAMPBELL

We would like to express our sincere thanks for the donations, flowers, food, cards and condolences sent our way when we lost a wonderful mom and grandma, Betty (Frieda) Campbell. We truly appreciate the support of our family and friends especially over the past four years when we have had to lean on you the most. A huge thank you to Dr. Delbrouke, the dialysis unit staff (her home away from home), Dr. Straeder, the third floor nurses, the cafeteria staff and everyone at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital who supported Mom with kindness and caring over the past several years.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Vilis and Dr. Kiskis for their tremendous support over many years and to the nurses at the Arnprior Hospital who treated my mom and our family with compassion and caring during her short stay there. Much gratitude goes out to The Villa for making my mom feel at home there and the drivers and staff of Seniors at Home (Wayne, Ian, Tammy and the gang) who took such great care of my mom on the many trips to and from Renfrew. A big thank you goes out to Andre Pilon and his wonderful staff for their caring, professionalism and attention to detail and to Pastor Norine Gullons for being there for mom and our family over the past several months and also to Pastor Norine, the pallbearers and everyone who was part of making the service a memorable send off for a special mom, grandma, sister, aunt and friend. Our sincerest thanks everyone for everything!

Dale Gillan 1939 – 2013 A dear husband who passed away December 21, 2013 THE EMPTY CHAIR Time cannot heal the emptiness Or fill the empty chair The one that’s in the family room I see it empty there.

Or the chair that’s at the table Where together we would dine Although I sit there still, The only hand that pray are mine.

Still I give thanks to God each day, I pray this prayer comes true You save an empty chair for me.

When I come home to you.

Missing you.

Your loving wife, Jean

HOGAN, Bill In loving memory of a cherished husband, father and grandfather who passed away December 23, 1992.

God looked upon His garden, And found and empty space, the He looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest.

Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden must be beautiful, for He only takes the best.

He saw the road was getting rough, the hills were hard to climb, He closed your weary eyes and whispered â&#x20AC;&#x153;peace be thineâ&#x20AC;?

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, to Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden, your new home.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a family who misses you dearly, In a home where you used to be, Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a family who wanted to keep you, But God willed it not to be, You left us many happy memories, And a sorrow too great to be told, But to us who loved you and lost you, Your memory will never grow old.

Sadly missed, forever remembered by Brian, Bev & Carl, Kim, Bill, Joel & Kate Bonnie, Neil & Abby

All our love, Max, Linda and Family

God knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew you would not get well, Here on Earth again.

He saw your path was difficult, He closed your tired eyes, And whispered â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peace be thineâ&#x20AC;?

And gave you wings to fly.

As time goes by without you, And days turn into years, They hold a million memories And a thousand tears.

Sadly missed by Fran, Brett, Brian, Jamie and families

Bah Hambug! Christmas cheer at the library A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens was presented by the Friends of the Arnprior Public Library on Dec. 11 as an old-fashioned holiday reading. The event welcomed a sell-out crowd into the main space at the library and raised about $1,000 for the Friends. It was held near the teen area in the library, which was made larger by shifting the newly purchased moveable shelves. Music was provided by Louise VandenBerg on the flute; back row left and not pictured Dai Bassett. Readers for the night were, in the back librarian Karen DeLuca, Martin Malina and Adam Bramble, and front row CBC reporter Julie Ireton and Fay Kolpin.

News – Ottawa Valley author and former Canadian Football League quarterback Frank Cosentino has released his latest book just in time for Christmas.

Canadian Football 1995-2014: Home Again is the story of the Canadian Football League from 1995–2014. Cosentino’s previous two football books, Canadian Football: The Grey Cup Years, 1909-68, and Canadian Football: A Passing Game, 1969-1994, lead into Home Again.

The year 1995 represents the only time to this date when the Grey Cup was won by a team outside Canada. The Grey Cup champion Baltimore Stallions, and other American teams, were unable to survive past the 1995 season.

The Stallions were resurrected, reincarnated and resurfaced in Montreal as the Alouettes.

Over a 20-year period, the league reeled, staggered and went through some tumultuous but also glorious times. Seven commissioners and interim commissioners sought to steer the ship. Commissioners were fired; the league was sued. Tensions existed between owners and the commissioner’s office.

Television carriers fluctuated between the CBC and TSN.

The Ottawa Rough Riders folded. They were replaced with the Renegades, and, later, the RedBlacks. The league once again was a nineteam operation.

The Grey Cup game continued to impress.

Three teams that hosted the Grey Cup game won the trophy - B.C. Lions Grey Cup ’99, Toronto Argonauts Grey Cup 100 and Saskatchewan Roughriders Grey Cup 101.

A new champion other than the home team, the Calgary Stampeders, emerged from Grey Cup 102 played in Vancouver. Twenty years after it strayed southwards, the Grey Cup and the Canadian Football League had rediscovered themselves, and had come ‘home again’.

Canadian Football 1995-2014: Home Again, is a 272-page paperback with many photos. It is available through bookstores including Amazon.ca, Lulu.com and Chapters/Indigo.

Cosentino, who lives in Eganville, is a professor emeritus and senior scholar at York University.

He played 10 years in the CFL and coached 12 years of intercollegiate football. He was on two Grey Cup winning teams and coached two Vanier Cup winners.

He has authored or co-authored 15 books.
