Showdown

Arnprior mayor, reeve candidates square off over growth and taxes DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Growth and tax increases were the recurring themes as Arnprior mayoral and reeve candidates made their case before a standing room of some 350 people at the Nick Smith Centre Sept. 29.

Mayoral candidates Nancy Black, Ted Kelly, David Reid, Jim Silye and Doug Smith joined reeve candidates Alex Winter, Eric Burton, Walter Stack and Tom Peckett to answer questions from the public on topics ranging from four-year vision to the OPP contract and seniors’ housing.

But many questions came back to growing residential, industrial and commercial developments. Some candidates indicated Arnprior is playing catch-up and must to move quickly to spur growth. Others said growth needs to be balanced.

Black led off the evening by saying, in her introductory remarks, that the town “didn’t turn down” the boxstore retail proposal and if it comes back council will help accelerate growth in an “orderly way.”

“It is essential that controls be managed,” she said.

Kelly called himself a businessman and consultant who analyzes public and private sector problems then offers solutions. He is also a real estate agent who would like Arnprior to become a “bedroom community of Ottawa.”

He said boxstores and new industry will solve homeowners worst problem: high taxes.

Reid said a “customer-focus” and business mentality is needed at town hall. He wants to encourage growth by building a community square and boardwalk to link the downtown core with the waterfront.

Candidates debate infrastructure impact

Continued from front Reid said growing revenue should be the next council’s focus and that rebuilding infrastructure should begin to slow down.

Silye agreed that infrastructure work is nearly complete, but that the next council must prepare for the town’s next leap forward.

“We are on the verge of significant growth in Arnprior,” Silye said. “My number one priority is growth. Growth equals prosperity.”

Smith was among the vocal proponents pressing council to do whatever it takes to bring the boxstore development to Arnprior. He continues to say council must proactively seek boxstores and other retailers. However, he is concerned the infrastructure upgrades have pushed the town to the brink of its borrowing capacity, and he wants an independent audit of the books when the new council takes over.

“The pace of infrastructure has pretty much bankrupted the town.

We’re spending a lot of money, but they’ve spent us broke,” Smith said.

“I think the people of Arnprior should be mad as hell. I think we need an audit.”

Winter talked about intensification and working with developers to ensure the downtown has a variety of living and working options.

“We need to be open to development and partnerships,” Winter said, “and (make clear) that we are open for business.”

Burton also talked about developing

a “downtown waterfront district” and about the growth of events he helped bring to life: Earth Day, Wednesday farmers’ markets and others.

Stack said if another councillor had seconded a motion of his regarding the boxstore proposal, badly needed tax revenue and jobs would have been created. He also said growing business will help attract and maintain younger workers, something critical to Arnprior’s future.

NICHE BUSINESSES He would also like to see cafes and niche businesses people found in Merrickville and elsewhere along the newly developed waterfront. He would also like to see the town take the leadership role back from business groups.

“I appreciate what the chamber (of business) is doing, but the town needs to take control, beginning with the planning department,” he said, adding he ran a $100 million business and doesn’t like it when he hears “Arnprior is closed for business.”

Peckett said after the twinning of Highway 417 is complete, the town can work to attract boxstores, adding that it wasn’t council’s fault the proposal fell through – it was the sluggish economy.

He also said the current council has done a lot to “prepare for growth.”

“The town’s not broke,” Peckett said in response to Smith. He said the marina needs work and he would like to see Bell Park developed but doubts it will happen because the former own-

ers made the town promise to leave it as is.

Reid garnered the loudest applause of the night when he mentioned the town spent $250,000 on outside consultation fees and more on having a Saskatchewan company repair the centrifuge. He said three per cent tax increases per year is “not good enough” when neighbouring communities enjoy less. He named tax increases his number one priority.

Black said she won’t pretend or try to convince voters in the room that she’ll lower taxes, but she will solve the “goofy” water bills. She called the problem her top priority - after accountability.

Silye said growth, which doesn’t mean following the status quo, is his top priority. The status quo leads to higher taxes, he said.

Kelly talked about getting property taxes “under control;” that McNabBraeside pays 30 per cent and Ottawa 20 per cent less. At one point he said attracting boxstores will bring down tax increases, then at another said lower tax increases will attract boxstores.

During his concluding remarks, Kelly said the good ideas mentioned over the course of the evening will cause tax increases.

Among candidates for reeve, Winter was one of the two to mention taxes directly, saying: “We need to try and rein in our costs.” Twice Peckett spoke with pride of the county raising taxes just seven per cent over seven years.

Stack, the incumbent, and Burton didn’t work it into any answer.

Hydro reserve fund spending divides candidates DEREK DUNN Derek.dunn@metroland.com

The question of how candidates would spend the Arnprior hydro reserve fund, posed at the Sept. 29 candidates meeting, proved telling of how each would use tax revenue.

The questioner noted that Arnprior Hydro was sold 10 years ago for $6.3 million. The principal remains the same, said the questioner, but council has used the interest for various projects. Is that the proper strategy?

Some, such as Alex Winter, Tom

Peckett and Nancy Black said the principal should not be touched.

“I would never vote to spend it outright,” Peckett said.

“I was on that council (to approve the sale) and would not use it any other way,” Black said.

However, other candidates talked about weighing the costs of debt versus interest earned on the principal.

Whichever way saves taxpayers more money is where they would go.

Those willing to tamper with a perceived sacred cow are Eric Burton, Walter Stack, Jim Silye, Ted Kelly and

David Reid.

“We’re at our maximum borrowing capacity. We should pay our debts if it costs us less,” Reid said. “It’s as simple as that.”

Doug Smith said the principal may have been spent already, which is one of the reasons he has called for an external audit of the town’s books.

Open-door policy a must: Dunlop SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

McNab-Braeside deputy mayoral candidate Andy Dunlop has spent four years at the council table and he’s not ready to leave yet.

Coun. Dunlop says he’s running this year in the hopes of seeing some projects through and continuing to work for the good of the voters. Dunlop is vying for the position against Christine Blimkie (Sauve).

“I’d like to finish what we started,” says Dunlop, who, along with wife Betty and family, has lived in the area for 35 years.

Currently receiving treatment for a vascular ulcer on his ankle and other medical issues, Dunlop says the doctors have given him the green light to run again, and he’s ready to go.

He enjoys his community activities, which along with council duties includes membership in the Lions Club and Knights of Columbus, and being out and about means constituents have access to him and he’s able to gauge concerns and issues.

“It’s important they feel the door’s always open,” says Dunlop.

His foray into municipal politics officially started four years ago when he was elected councillor but years of involvement in the community, including as president of the White Lake recreation associa-

ANDY DUNLOP tion, whet his appetite.

Dunlop was involved in hockey, playing as a goaltender and seeing his children through minor hockey. He served as president of the minor hockey for three years, and touts the importance of community involvement and fun, physical activity for all ages.

Born in Ottawa, he started out in the armed forces and worked in real estate before the market fell in 1974. He came to Arnprior and worked for the town as community co-ordinator, then for the Ontario Housing Corporation, Boeing and Beloit and also owned a sports business in Arnprior.

The Dunlops have faced more than their share of adversity – losing son Drew, 28, to cancer and son Chris in a 2008 car acci-

dent. The Dunlop memorial golf tournament, which just celebrated its 10th year, is a way to keep their sons’ memories alive and help the community they care so deeply about.

Proceeds go to support local kids sports.

And family continues to be a focus, as daughter Leah and her husband welcomed their first child, Alexia, almost a year ago.

While council certainly faced some major hurdles, there were some positive moves made over the past four years, says Dunlop, including providing a public question period during council meetings.

“I thought that was a super idea. We’re trying to be as co-operative as we can.”

Relationships between councillors, municipalities and various levels of government are key to success.

He stresses the need for personal issues to be kept off the council table and for members, though they will not always agree, to work together for the good of the whole township.

Arnprior and McNabBraeside, too, must work hand-in-hand, says Dunlop.

“I’ve always felt the two communities were fairly close,” he says. “I like to see us getting along as neighbours and supporting each other.”

Provincial government moves have further complicated life for municipalities, says Dunlop, particularly rural ones like

McNab-Braeside.

“I understand why people are frustrated,” says Dunlop.

Protecting the dwindling local agricultural sector is important to Dunlop.

“We have very few full-time working farmers left and we want to protect them and their rights,” he says.

Providing for seniors, including increased recreational activities, is also a focus of Dunlop’s.

He is concerned this year’s new electronic voting system in McNab-Braeside may be a struggle for some seniors and pledges to do his best to help constituents learn the ropes.

Dunlop’s election pamphlet outlines the process and provides contact information for more on the system.

Dunlop has chaired the waste management and says he’s enjoyed the role and hopes it will continue as the environment and waste continues to be an issue.

The last four years at the council table have certainly been a learning experience and Dunlop says the tremendous support of township staff has made all the difference. Their skill and efficiency are to be commended, says Dunlop.

The township is blessed with an excellent fire department and roads department as well, says Dunlop.

DEREK DUNN Arnprior town staff updated council Monday on the new electronic voting system set for this month’s municipal election.

By Oct. 18 when voting begins every eligible voter should have received a pin number by mail in a voter’s package.

The pin is needed for voting in the only two systems offered: phone or internet.

Those without a pin on or near the first day of voting are encouraged to call the voting help centre at 613-623-1859.

Those who have never voted in Arnprior and are not on the voters’ list must call the number above.

“By the time we’re done, people are going to know we have an electronic voting system in Arnprior,” town clerk Jacquie Farrow-Lawrence said.

The town is spending $5,000 on a public information campaign to explain the new process in the hope of maintaining Arnprior’s traditional higher-than-aver-

age voter turnout numbers. It has been almost double the average the last two elections.

However, two challenges include helping seniors (some of whom vote but don’t use the Internet) and youth (many of whom don’t vote but do use the Internet).

Staff intends to guide voters through the system of their choice and have extended work hours to do so.

They intend to make on-site visits to seniors homes, the high school, and elsewhere.

Starting Oct. 18 town hall will be open until 10 p.m.

It will also be open that weekend, Oct. 23 and 24, along with election day on Oct. 25.

Staff vowed to respect privacy as much as possible while assisting voters.

The system has safeguards to protect the tradition of the secret ballot.

Polling stations, now renamed Voter Information Centres, include the fire hall, library during regular hours and town hall.

It’s in the mail.

Voters packages were mailed out to McNabBraeside electors Tuesday. The package contains the voter’s pin number needed to cast a ballot.

If you don’t receive your package by Oct. 14, call the township office. Voting starts Oct. 18.

OVERCOMING THE FEAR OF NEW VOTING METHODS As a registered candidate for Arnprior Council; I have spent many hours “door knocking’ throughout our community. By doing so, not only do I learn of the mood that citizens are in, but also the fear of our new system of voting (Internet & Telephone). I find such fears more prevalent amongst the senior generation of our community.

My suggestion to these individuals, as well as any other citizens who are unsure; is to invite a few of the ‘younger generation’ in your family for a luncheon, or supper. I’m sure that they would be glad to help you through this historic adventure of a new era.

The benefit of family is; they would be available to explain the system as it proceeds; receive your views on who you wish to vote for; and would simply be helping you to place your mark in participation of the historic event.

This new election adventure will also run for 8 days, which gives a lot of flexibility for your get together.

WAIT FOR BUDGET Coun. Jack Lammert agreed, saying council recently delayed passing judgment on offering money to the agricultural society.

If staff at budget season, in December, deem the money is worthy of council’s consideration, he said, it should come up before the newly-elected members.

“The timing is wrong on this right now and does not give the right impression,” Lammert said.

Peckett said there is “no wrong time to do the right thing” and noted council has discussed giving the seniors group money in the past.

Black, seeming to sense the vote was going to go against the three, in a bid to keep the idea alive offered a plan to give the group money for transportation in order that it might also qualify for the federal gas tax rebate program.

No one supported it.

Gibeau said grant money is given to three other groups: the archives, the humane society and the airport.

“It has nothing to do with the election,” Gibeau said.

In the end he and Peckett were the only two in favour.

Gibeau then handed out a piece of paper with 10 steps aimed at quickly re-

WATER BILLING PLAN The following is the mayor’s proposed 10-step water billing plan presented to council and media at Monday’s committee-ofthe-whole meeting.

At the top of the page it reads moved by Terry Gi-

beau and seconded by Tom Peckett.

Be it resolved that the following steps be taken to resolve water bill issues: 1.) That no retroactive charges be levied for water bills in 2009; 2.) That all water bills be estimated for all of the year 2010, on the basis of the 2009 consumption record plus the 4.9 per cent increase approved for the 2010 budget by council on Dec. 21, 2009; 3.) That water accounts hat have been identified as potential leakers, lacking a radio frequency, obstructed from reading, or incorrect or questionable for any other reason, be visited by a representative of the Neptune Company and a representative of the Town of Arnprior. With the account holder present, the functioning of the meter will be tested until verified to the customer’s satisfaction. If the customer’s property is identified as having leaks, solutions will be recommended.

These visits will take place in October, November, and December 2010; 4.) On the last day of December 2010, a meter reading will be done and that reading will constitute the baseline for future readings; 5.) All estimated bills for 2010 will be due on the last day of February 2011; 6.) On the last day of March 2011, a meter reading will be done. That reading will be used to prepare a bill for actual water consumed. This bill shall be prepared on a new, easy-tounderstand billing form; 7.) An actual reading shall be done every three months following March 2011 and a billing will be sent to customers; 8.) Customers with leaks on their property will be notified immediately; 9.) If actual billings in 2011 result in revenue in excess of budgeted need, customers shall receive a refund or a credit and the per-litre cost of water shall be reduced to accord with the budget; 10.) Within three days of passage of this motion, a letter with a copy of this resolution and any incidentals as passed shall be mailed to all customers.

This resolution shall also be advertised in the media.

Monday’s Arnprior committee-of-the-whole meeting proved a challenging one for Mayor Terry Gibeau and councillors Tom Peckett and Nancy Black.

Their plan to offer $8,000 to the McNab-Braeside Seniors at Home – just weeks before a municipal election all three are participating in – failed.

And another highly detailed 10-step plan to “resolve” water billing issues was nixed by council colleagues.

“I for one will not be voting for this three weeks before an election. It is not appropriate,” Coun. Mark Willmer said before the no side won the seniors at home vote five to two.

“It should be discussed at budget time as we normally do.”

solving the water billing fiasco. He said the issue is “time sensitive” and needs to be resolved before the end of 2010.

Councillors were confused as to whether he was introducing a formal motion to have staff implement the plan, or if it was for discussion that night, or for consideration at a later date.

Willmer asked staff several times to respond, but silence ensued. Gibeau chirped in to say it was not a notice of motion from staff.

That’s when Willmer rallied opposition.

“I have no problem discussing it, but I haven’t read it yet,” he said. “And I’m not prepared to read it here.”

He reminded council that moving too quickly without examining all the facts and preparing a proper communications strategy was among the causes the fiasco in the first place.

Lammert, at one point chiding the mayor with, “you don’t have to be sarcastic,” said council should wait for the external audit to finish before moving forward.

Black said the audit will only tell what went wrong not how to move forward.

“The public is expecting us to stand up and do something about it,” she said.

Weeks beforehand, Willmer warned some problems could persist and that the next round of bills could also have mistakes.

Willmer, Lammert, Reeve Walter Stack and Coun. Eric Burton won the vote to delay making a decision on the plan this week against Gibeau, Peckett and Black.

The paper is expected to come up as a notice of motion during next week’s council meeting.

At the candidates’ public meeting last week, Stack warned of a “hidden slate” of candidates uniting to promote mutual self-interest.

“The project went well,” said Michael Dent of Dent Engineering, which designed the new dressing rooms.

“It’s pretty good on energy efficiency compared with existing facilities,” said Dent. Features like a dehumidifier and heat recovery system make for

maximum efficiency, he explained.

“It’s clear and bright and maintenance should be minimal,” he said.

NSC officials most likely wouldn’t want some of the younger players to know about the new, supercharged toilets, capable of grinding pucks should they make their way into the bowl, said Dent. There’s also increased fire safety features and the potential for future additions, added Dent.

Wade Construction officials were on hand to celebrate the opening and agreed the project is a success.

Arnprior Mayor Terry Gibeau is pleased with the new facilities.

“It’s on time, it’s on budget,” said Gibeau. “The fact of the matter is it’s

EDITORIAL

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Body language speaks volumes

Walk support appreciated

Body language speaks volumes, especially for candidates in an election race.

People pay attention to how a person moves, sits, laughs – just as they listen to what is said.

Incumbents and well-known newcomers may not put much stock in body language, but it is our experience that after a candidates’ debate what is talked about is the performance, not always the substance.

Call it superficial – but it is what it is.

At the Sept. 29 mayoral and reeve candidates’ meeting at Nick Smith Centre, no one stood out or self-destructed with the way they handled themselves, but some observations are worth relating to voters who didn’t attend.

Doug Smith gave perhaps the best performance, setting the tone for the night with a charming story about “wee moose” in his Scottish homeland versus the real thing in Canada.It earned him one of the few chuckles.

He also struck hard with lines like the “strategic plan is a strategic failure.”

Too bad he insists on dressing like a waiter.

David Reid was personable and also won laughter and spontaneous applause. He also looked helpful yet peevish while holding the microphone for Jim Silye.

While Silye came out on tops in some viewers books, he didn’t win much respect when he pointed at and blamed a television cameraman for his microphone not working. He blamed the wrong person.

Walter Stack was forceful yet confident, offering to address the issues rather than boast about himself.

Nancy Black was among the worst when it came to speech delivery and it probably didn’t help her cause using such terms as “goofy” water bills.

Tom Peckett muttered, was slouched over and spent much of the evening producing counterpoints and defending the current council.

Alex Winter earned and received polite applause throughout the night, though his answers appeared too rehearsed and clichéd.

Eric Burton showed himself to be cool under pressure, and Ted Kelly came off as a laconic statesman.

An open letter to all supporters: On behalf of L’Arche Arnprior, I would like to thank you for your valuable and generous support in making our third annual L’Arche Arnprior Fun Run/Walk a success.

The Fun Run attracted 51 participants and 15 volunteers. The event provided a great opportunity for L’Arche Arnprior to once again enhance our visibility in the community, as well as to raise funds to assist the community of L’Arche Haiti.

All those who participated enjoyed the morning as well as the complimentary barbecue afterwards.

The weather even cooperated with the rain holding off until we were just about finished and we were pleased that the event was covered by our local media.

We greatly appreciate your support and look forward to working with you in the coming years.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

There is good eating in downtown Arnprior To the editor: My husband, myself, and a friend went to Our Place in the ‘Prior on Elgin street on Saturday night for dinner.

What a great experience.

We had walked by the restaurant when it first opened and thought it would be a bit pricey for us.

However, we looked them up on their website and found out the price of the entrees also includes a nonalcoholic beverage, appetizer, and dessert (between $20 to $30 for a complete meal).

We were welcomed by one of the owners and while we were waiting for our appetizers we were treated with a sample plate of three types of the different kinds of breads they bake on the premises.

We had a choice of four appetizers (their menu is different every week).

We chose homemade chicken breast soup (best I’ve ever had), spinach and strawberry salad (we tried to figure out the spices in the unusually flavourful dressing, but the chef was reluctant to reveal his secrets), and potato torte (which should have been heavy and bland but was neither).

For the entree we chose a chickpea peanut-curry dish (they have one

vegetarian entree each week), a roast beef entree with sauted zucchini and scalloped potatoes (the potatoes were awesome), and a chicken breast with dates and kalamata olives dish served with rice and sauted carrots (the chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was incredible).

For dessert we had homemade pecan pie and cheesecake topped with what I think was apples cooked in rum and maple syrup.

I’d like to encourage the people of Arnprior to support this kind of family-owned restaurant located in our fledgling downtown core; where the owners try to use local fresh meats and vegetables whenever possible and the meals are well thought-out and an adventure (but not so crazy you can’t

bring your family’s finicky eater).

I encourage for selfish reasons, as I would like to be able to go out for a nice home-cooked meal in town that we can afford.

I would also like to take this opportunity to rave about the all-day-breakfast diner, The Cupboard.

We’ve lived in Arnprior for over 12 years.

This is the best place we’ve found for breakfast in town.

Best homefries in town, eggs never over-cooked, they know how to handle bacon, and their egg benedict is pretty darned good.

Elderly at 64, I think not To the editor: After reading your article of Sept.

30 regarding the woman who was hit by a truck at the intersection of Elgin and Daniel, not only do I feel badly for her but annoyed at her being labelled elderly at the age of 64.

Reporting of any kind should be

very careful when labelling people by age. Anyone at the age of 64 is not elderly.

I’m a proud 66-year-old and definitely not elderly.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Important questions not asked at all-candidates forum To the editor: Can you imagine in the real world if was time for your appraisal. Then say to your bosses you can ask me about dreams I have for next term. But you can not ask about any screw-ups I had in the past years.

This seems to be the standard at all-candidates meetings.

This is some of the questions they did not ask.

For the councillors who voted to bring the $10,000 ďŹ sherman into town. I did my own survey and I could not ďŹ nd any person

C why you should vote Campbell To the editor: Looking at the present slate of candidates running for council in McNab-Braeside, you have to be impressed by Mayor Campbell’s credentials. To me they are best illustrated by the letter C. Mary Campbell is Competent.

Her years of experience working for big business at the executive level, both in Canada and in other countries have given her such a broad background of knowledge that we just take for granted.

If a problem is presented to her that is not in her personal experience, she has the research skills to ďŹ nd the answer in a ash. That’s what it’s all about in running a modern municipality, knowing who to contact, how to get the information and then what to do with it.

How many people would go that extra mile, work those countless unpaid hours, come up with the answer to a complicated problem and then present it as if it were no trouble at all? That’s our Mayor!

Without doubt, Mayor Campbell is Creative. She can take the experiences she has researched in other municipalities and apply them to local needs.

She is always looking for ways to upgrade and modernize our community services, to encourage new and innovative small business enterprises, to champion the backbone of our rural community - the farmer.

If her ďŹ rst plan is not successful, out comes plan B - and one of her favourite sayings, “There’s more than one way to skin a cat!â€? And if that doesn’t work, she’ll have a whole raft of

ideas to try, and one of them will be just perfect.

Many, many families in this township know that C stands for Caring. Mary has a big heart.

How many families who have suffered tragedies have found the mayor on their doorstep offering help and support?

Whatever the community event, large or small, the mayor is there playing her role with conďŹ dence and grace. And there is no one out there who can doubt the sincerity and integrity of her character.

Finally, the list of C-words could go on and on - capable, charismatic, cheerful, committed, complex, conďŹ dent, considerate ‌ but there is only so much room here.

We are incredibly lucky to have a person of such Calibre willing to serve us again for another term as our mayor.

mention this guy brought them to town. How many Question for mayor and reeve candidates: If anpeople did you councillors ďŹ nd? other piece of equipment had to be repaired for the Question for Mr. Stack: When you put forth a mo- town of Arnprior, how would you people handle the tion to have the smart centre go forward and their situation? approximately 300 jobs, how did you feel when not one council member would second this motion?

M.J. Currie Question for the mayor and the councillors: Arnprior Could someone tell the taxpayers of Arnprior whom you people get paid by, and please do not forget this statement, how could you people by pass a local business that could have repaired this item for probably one quarter of the cost you people are paying out?

Question for the mayor and the councillors: How much money was spent replacing all the batteries and having them secured so that they can’t be stolen again for a sign we do not need on Highway 417 Question for mayor candidates: If elected how will you make it easy for taxpayers to get important information out of town hall?

Question for mayor and reeve candidates: How will you people get the Smart Centre to take a look at coming back to Arnprior?

Candidate forum time, turnout lacking To the editor: Who was the clunker who came up with the idea of having allcandidate meetings on Wednesday nights and having the public wait nine days to hear results of these meetings?

There were three no-shows for council, not acceptable when the coming four years are very important to Arnprior.

Leadership lacking in most candidates’ platforms ďŹ ts package. It certainly won’t provide the town with new residents with a disposable income.

As for the contract to build these stores, all the local construction companies know they have no chance at winning those projects. One of Arnprior’s largest construction companies has already stated they wouldn’t even waste their time bidding.

How about we spend more time supporting the businesses that are already here rather then wasting money on ones that aren’t coming?

Only one reeve candidate had his eye on the prize. Coun. Eric Burton understands Arnprior needs to revitalize its industrial sector. He knows the CP rail line is vital to adding value to our industrial sector and he has said so.

Industry provides good, full-time jobs with beneďŹ ts. Jobs that may not be the dream job of young residents, but jobs that provide a wage that will allow them to

grow their family in Arnprior, pay their taxes and eventually, work towards that dream job.

Those same two reeve candidates, Stack and Peckett, voted in favour of the $2 million pipe to the middle of the Ottawa River, which will soon enough become one of Arnprior’s biggest boondoggles. This pipe’s only job is to take Arnprior’s waste further out to sea (the Ottawa River to be exact).

That’s it. It doesn’t treat the sewage or deal with the problem – it just moves the problem to a deeper part of the river. The only thing it successfully does is meet the short-sighted guidelines of provincial and federal ministries.

So, with our great river soon (and ďŹ nally) to be declared a Heritage River, something tells me the way Arnprior council has decided to treat it is shameful, short-sighted and going to cost the taxpayer a lot more money down the line (designation or

not). With that heritage designation will come new regulations. Even without the designation, our government and the people of Canada will soon learn we can’t treat our rivers and our water the way we do if we wish to survive and prosper on this planet.

Legislation will be passed and that $2-million pipe will be as useful as square tires. Our $2 million has already been wasted on the pipe; we just

To the editor: I attended the Sept. 29 all-candidates meeting at the Nick Smith Centre featuring mayoral and reeve candidates. It left me deeply concerned for the future of Arnprior.

It was wonderful to see such a large number of people who have a love for their community step forward and throw their hats in to the political ring. But it takes a lot more than love of one’s community to be an effective leader.

While all the mayoral candidates spent their time promising new roads, new infrastructure and new multi-million dollar projects, while also promising to hold the line on taxes (good luck), not one stood out to me as a promising leader.

The reeve situation is somewhat clearer for me. It’s an incredibly important position involving working with the rest of Renfrew County to beneďŹ t the entire Valley while trying to attract county tax dollars to Arnprior.

Both Coun. Tom Peckett and Reeve Walter Stack, without prompting, said they were both in favour of box stores. Well that issue has come and gone. The land was already re-zoned to approve box stores, so there’s not much more council can do.

Only the box-store maker, Smart Centres, decided it didn’t want to come to Arnprior. The box store managing company stated the economics weren’t right and it pulled up shop. They’re not coming and many residents of Arnprior don’t want them.

Canada’s aging population is no more apparent than it is in Arnprior. In 2001, one Canadian in eight was aged 65 years or over.

By 2026, one Canadian in ďŹ ve will have reached age 65. I’m sure those numbers are a touch higher in Arnprior.

These people, myself included even though I don’t ďŹ t into the above statistics, value service over convenience, knowledge over quantity. Studies are starting to show a shift away from boxstore shopping.

Our aging population does not want to traverse 40,000-squarefoot stores looking to save ďŹ ve cents for a tube of toothpaste.

They don’t want to deal with employees who know nothing of the products they are selling.

A store like Clancy’s Pharmacy in downtown Arnprior delivers prescriptions for free, provides incredible knowledge of their products and provides a service to its customers second to none, services a box store just can’t and won’t provide.

As for the jobs box stores create? The possibly 100 jobs a store like Walmart creates aren’t exactly the type you can own a house on and create a family with. At least 80 per cent of those jobs would be part-time jobs that offer neither a living wage nor a bene-

don’t know it yet. But we will feel it when the town has to pay for another multi-million dollar project to clean up that mess of a pipe polluting our beautiful Ottawa River.

In the meantime, as visitors to our community who shop at our downtown stores and picnic in our parks learn of the pipe – well, watch as tourists ďŹ nd other, cleaner communities to visit and shop in.

Watch as our neighbours

get turned off by Arnprior as the problem we moved further out to sea ends up on their shores.

Only one council candidate voted against that $2 million pipe – reeve candidate Eric Burton.

That pipe is going to cost us. It’s going to cost the environment, and let’s hope it costs a few councillors their jobs.

The Dean family may have suffered its worst day in six generations of farming this week.

On Monday morning, someone noticed the Galetta dairy farm’s 24-metre silo – full of corn silage – was leaning.

The family evacuated 65 milking cows from the dairy barn below and some equipment was saved, but the silo was tilted too far to save.

Bill and Helen Dean’s property, Fairburn Farms, is located on Highway 17, just north of Galetta Side Road.

The silo, which was full to within about four metres of the top, leaned further as the day went on and Bill had no choice but to topple the heavy structure because of the safety hazard.

“Most of the milking equipment will be lost,” said 14-year-old Alexander Dean, one of Bill and Helen’s sons. “The hay and straw

Tough day for sixth-generation farmers Continued from Page 12 The third and successful attempt involved cutting some of the steel bands that held together the cement slabs that formed the silo’s walls.

The silo came down shortly after 4 p.m., destroying roughly half of the L-shaped dairy barn.

Other farmers took in the Deans’ dairy cows, which need to be milked every day, while many friends arrived to lend moral support to the family.

Gardiner Tree Ltd. helped by sending a worker up in a cherrypicker to attach steel cables to the silo when some other companies declined the risky job.

The Deans may be able to salvage some of the silage, depending on how much cement and cement dust has been mixed into the corn.

The corn was expected to provide feed for the dairy herd through the winter.

The silo was believed to be built in the 1980s and was filled with corn over the past three weeks. The barn is much older, dating back six generations.

The family will now have to clean the silage or purchase feed for the winter.

The Deans will also need to rebuild the barn and purchase new milking and silage equipment, which could mean a new silo, a bagger or a new storage building.

The Deans have been active volunteers in the Galetta Community Association for many years.

Bodies found near Mountain Chute Alcohol, drug offenses keep OPP busy JOHN CARTER

john.carter@metroland.com

Two bodies found in the Mountain Chute area southwest of Calabogie this weekend have been conďŹ rmed as those of a missing elderly couple from Gatineau.

Lily Blondin, 90, and Jim Dunne, 86, were missing since Wednesday from Ottawa. Why they were on a remote gravel road back of the Mountain Chute dam is a mystery, although they did enjoy travelling.

After post mortem exams Tuesday, police have concluded no foul play was involved and both died as a result of “misadventure.�

It appears that when their car became disabled on the rough gravel road off Norcan Lake Road, Dunne tried to walk out to get help. His body was found Sunday about two kilometres from his car. When he didn’t return, Blondin, who is legally blind, also left the vehicle, but didn’t get far before she died.

Lanark OPP report the body of a woman was found about 11:45 a.m. Saturday by an all-terrain-rider in the bush on a trail. A large number of police descended on the area Saturday af-

Fire safety is being stressed by Arnprior and McNab-Braeside firefighters as both departments mark Ontario Fire Prevention Week Oct. 3 to 9.

The McNab-Braeside Fire Department and mascot Sparky spent the day at the McNab Public School Tuesday sharing fire safety advice.

The Arnprior fire department conducted fire drills at the four elementary schools in town and circulated a package that encourages students and their families to mark out escape plans from their homes in case of a fire.

Fire chief John Okum noted that students can go online to register their escape plan activities and qualify to win prizes.

He said some classes drop by for station tours, while the firefighters also make school visits. For instance, they have been invited to speak to a Grade 1 class at A.J. Charbonneau next week.

McNab-Braeside fire prevention officer Karen Baroski notes that this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme is ‘Smoke Alarms - A Sound You Can Live With’.

In line with that, the provincial government is urging Ontarians to make sure their smoke alarms are installed

correctly and tested regularly.

Smoke alarms provide an early warning of smoke or fire to protect family members, but they must be properly maintained, says a government news release. “Too many household fires have gone undetected because smoke alarms have not been installed or the batteries have been disconnected or run down.”

Installing smoke alarms is the law in Ontario. At a minimum, every home must have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas.

Home-owners are encouraged to develop a home escape plan with everyone in the household. Make sure you have two ways out of all areas.

LETTER FROM THE CHIEF Fire Chief Tim Beckett, Ontario’s representative to the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs, has written the following letter for Fire Prevention Week as part of the effort to get as many families as possible in Arnprior and other communities to opt in to the escape plan campaign to help reduce fire tragedies.

“As Ontario’s representative to the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs, I am proud to acknowledge the efforts of fire departments and elementary

schools across the province during Fire Prevention Week from Oct. 3-9.

“I’m appealing to all parents to support your youngsters when they come home excited to help make your home more fire safe by participating in the ‘The Great Canadian Fire Drill’.

“Throughout October, children in grade K-3 will be taught how to create and practise a home fire escape plan.

Plus, classrooms and families can win valuable home safety prizes from our public education partners Scholastic, Duracell and Kidde Canada.

“Help Ontario be a leader in The Great Canadian Fire Drill. Please register your support www.safeathome. ca/. Complete your family escape plan, practice it, then print out your personalized ‘We Did The Drill’ certificate.

“Remember these family fire safety tips: • install smoke alarms on every storey of your home and outside sleeping areas; • install fresh batteries in smoke and CO alarms at least once per year; • replace all smoke alarms over 10 years old – battery operated and hardwired; • never tamper with smoke alarms.

“Thank you for helping prevent fire tragedies in Arnprior.

“Do the drill.”

The fact that 14 Arnprior streets will be closed for three hours Saturday, Oct. 16 is proof that the seventh annual Unity run Oct. 16 has moved to a new level.

The Walk, Wheel and Run fundraiser for Community Living Renfrew County South has added a new competitive run this year to go along with the more relaxed fun aspect of the outing.

It will go from 8:30 to 10 a.m. with four courses – one-, three-, five- and 10-kilometres long - available for participants to run or walk, as people of all capabilities are urged to take part. Registration is required to allow organizers to know how many people are on each route.

The OPP has been asked to provide escorts on each course.

The Unity Run will start and end at the Nick Smith Centre, with the awards ceremonies taking place in the Community Hall.

The event raises much needed funding for Community Living, which helps support people with developmental disabilities.

Among the roads to be closed are Daniel, William, Vancourtland, Edward, Elgin, John, James, Ottawa, Albert, Bridge and McNab streets; McLean Avenue; Riverview Drive; and Madawaska Boulevard.

The closure was requested for safety reasons. It will be difficult for drivers to navigate the area anyway because of the congestion.

For more information on the run or to register, call 613-623-9963 or register online at www.eventsonline.ca.

Proudly serving Arnprior and surrounding areas since 1879

DR. ALEX WINTER FOR ARNPRIOR REEVE Thank you to all of you who attended last week’s candidates meeting and for your support. Following the question and answer I was approached by a couple who lamented the lack of doctors in Arnprior. The need for accessible medical care will only continue to increase as our population ages, our seniors can not be expected to travel to Ottawa or Kanata for primary medical care it should be available to them in Arnprior. From a medical practice point of view the things that attracted me to move to Arnprior was the fact that it had a hospital, a nursing home and was close to the tertiary care centers and the medical school in Ottawa.

It may surprise you that I do not practice in Arnprior, it may also surprise you that I am not the only doctor who lives in the area but who works in Ottawa.

You may be surprised to learn that yes we do have a physician recruitment committee on which mayoral candidate Nancy Black sits as well as Reeve candidate Tom Peckett.

Now with the shortage of physicians and the fact that I live a mere 8 minute walk from the hospital would it not have made sense to anyone at town hall to at least ask me if I would practice in Arnprior, which was what I had hoped to do when I moved here in 2005.

How much effort would it have been to write me a note, to have picked up the phone or to have approached me at one of the council meetings, yet not one person at town hall or member of council made a move. I had sent many letters to all members of the current council and never once received a reply, why???? The medical community is a small one and I have heard of other physicians/specialists who lived in the area and wanted to practice in Arnprior and were

turned away, why??? One thing that I will remind our current members of council is that one day you to will age and when you need primary medical care, seniors housing or a nursing home bed will it be there for you? This head in the sand mentality is not what we want at town hall. If council can not see the medical resources at the door, how can we expect them to see any of the opportunities presented to them in the areas of jobs, development and improvement in quality of life of our community?

I ask that you all exercise your right to vote and consider the choices, members of a council that has closed our town for business or for someone who will put Arnprior on the right track, someone who will grab every opportunity that is presented and make it work for Arnprior. I ask that you vote Dr. Alex Winter for Reeve.

GIVING THANKS BY DONATING TO THE FOOD BANK A. J. Charbonneau Public School students gave thanks for their good fortune by holding a food drive during the week leading up to Thanksgiving. Vicki Toner’s Grade 2 class helped organize the school-wide collection for the Arnprior and District Food Bank. The class members show off some of the items donated as of Monday. The drive still had two days to go, as the food was being boxed and sent to the food bank Thursday. After checking out the donations, the class joined the rest of the school’s students Monday in an assembly honouring Terry Fox. Teachers and students then went out into the yard to walk and run for about an hour to collect pledges for the Terry Fox Foundation.

The event is a fundraiser with all proceeds going to Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital and Arnprior Braeside McNab Seniorsat-Home program.

Alarm Yourself Against Fire Risks Follow these fire prevention tips to safeguard your home and family.

Every home in Ontario must have working smoke alarms – it’s the law. Install smoke alarms on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas. Test the alarms once a month and replace the batteries at least once a year.

• Always remain in the kitchen while cooking, and keep things that can burn, such as towels, plastic bags or paper, at least three feet away from the stovetop.

• Store matches and lighters in a place where children cannot reach them.

• Keep space heaters at least three feet from curtains, newspapers and other things that can burn, and never leave heaters unattended.

• Have your chimney, furnace, fireplace and wood stove inspected every year.

• Install smoke alarms on every level of your home and inside or near every bedroom. Test alarms monthly, and replace batteries once a year.

• Develop and discuss a home fire escape plan with your family. Identify two exits from every room, and pick a meeting place outside the home.

Since retiring in June 2001, Elizabeth has spent the past eight years working with Dr. Henry Venema, Registered Psychologist, completing comprehensive Psycho-Educational Assessments for the identification of learning difficulties and/or disabilities. A Psycho-Educational evaluation consists of a battery of tests that will provide information on an individual’s (Ages 4-Adult) overall abilities (IQ), particularly learning style, information processing abilities, and academic skills.

Information processing refers to how one’s brain takes in, uses, stores, retrieves, and expresses information. Affected learning areas may be one or a combination of the following: basic reading skills, reading comprehension, math calculation, math reasoning, written and/or oral expression, and listening comprehension. It is important to note that not all learning disabled students are alike but many do experience similar processing and learning difficulties. Extended health care plan may help cover a portion of applicable fees.

Arnprior Packers rally to win home opener After playing the first four games of their 2010-11 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League schedule elsewhere, the Arnprior Packers finally got to put on the home whites last Friday night.

They had to play some catchup, but in the final analysis, the Packers passed their home-opening test with flying colours.

The 6-3 triumph over the Almonte Thunder at the Nick Smith Centre pushed Arnprior’s early-season mark to 4-0-and-1.

A first loss would eventually come.

It did so when the club was clipped 4-1 by the first-place Perth Blue Wings in the Lanark County town Sunday afternoon.

On Friday, the Packers fell be-

Lowry were excused early after a scrap in the last two minutes of the third period.

The Packers gave it a good shot Sunday, but were short on experience and consequently short on the scoreboard in Perth.

The defending Valley Division champion Blue Wings counted two goals on two-man advantages, and struck for a shorthanded tally en route to the 4-1 triumph.

“We played well Friday night, and I thought we played well yesterday (Sunday),” Packers coach and general manager Bill Griese observed.

“Perth has a bit more finish right now.”

The coach was pleased with the way his young squad performed against one of the top teams in the EOJHL circuit.

The Packers have a pair of home games during the Thanks-

ADHS senior girls rugby team off to a great start

The ADHS Senior Girls rugby team began their Upper Ottawa Valley High School season with a decisive 43-0 victory over Mackenzie High School Sept.

28.

The Redmen scored in the first minute and went on to control all facets of the match. The forward pack turned in an outstanding performance, led

by Liz Orenstein. Their tireless work created many attacking opportunities for the Redmen backfield.

Kaitlyn McLeod scored three tries and single tries were added

by Raegan Patrick, Chanelle Fortin, Sandra Hudson and Rachel Boersma.

Sandra Hudson added four successful conversion kicks.

The Redmen were scheduled to play their first home game today (Thursday) at 3 p.m. at the Dochart Park pitch against Fellowes.

Almonte still led 3-2 entering the final stanza when the Packers erupted for four unanswered goals to skate off with the 6-3 victory.

Marc Vacher, Mitch Melanson, Taylor Collins, Brock Zielinski, Casey Doner and Drake Clancy spread the offence out, as each scored once.

Clancy has six goals already this season and Collins four.

The Packers connected three times on the power-play.

In memory of Lorna Gayle Cameron taken from us October 8th 2005.

The Angels gathered near your bed so very close to you.

For they knew the pain and suffering that you were going through.

I thought about so many things, as I held tightly to your hand.

Oh, how I wished that you were strong and happy once again.

But your eyes were looking homeward to that place beyond the sky.

Where Jesus held His outstretched arms, it was time to say goodbye.

I struggled with my selfish thoughts, for I wanted you to stay.

So we could walk and talk again, like we didjust yesterday.

But Jesus knew the answer, and I knew He loved you so.

So I gave to you life’s greatest gift, the gift of letting go.

Imagine Living Here!

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

A restaurant offering unique items is set to open Oct. 12 at the former Pizza Pizza on Madawaska Street.

Nowhere in Arnprior will diners find Lebanese food, beavertail-like treats or smoothies. Soon they will be available at the same spot – Moe’s & Ame’s Place, Fine Lebanese Cuisine and More!

Longtime business owner and Arnprior resident Moe Fakih said the town is ready for Middle Eastern food, with its olive oil, pita bread, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley.

“I go downtown (Ottawa) and see lots of Canadian people in Lebanese stores, no Lebanese. I know it’ll work here – everybody likes really good, healthy food,” he said.

However, even though shish tawouk, sharwarma sandwiches, hummus and other traditional foods take centre stage on the menu, hungry patrons such as high school students and downtown workers will also find burgers, nachos and spaghetti.

Tahan said he enjoys coming to Arnprior because he grew up in small town in Lebanon.

Painted in beige and brown hues, the store is reminiscent of the vast sand dunes found in the Middle East, but could also pass as an efficient fast food outlet.

Trouble with the latter is that Moe’s & Ame’s is privately owned and all

foods – including sauces – are made on site.

“We are only using good quality ingredients,” Moe said proudly.

“We know the community has supported us before, and I hope they will again.”

Moe’s and Ame’s Place welcomes everyone down to the grand opening, this Saturday, Oct. 9 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., for free samples. Regular hours will see the store open at 11 a.m.

Business-help firm provides ‘new solutions for new times’ A new company has opened in Arnprior using new technology and methods to help small businesses reduce their costs.

Lean Office Solutions is located at 83 Daniel St. North, where it is holding an open house Tuesday, Oct. 12.

With a desire to put “profit back in their pockets”, the company, owned by Sue Wurtz, is committed to helping companies achieve cost reduction, time savings and business flexibility by providing office administration through “pay-as-needed” servicing.

The assistance to help companies “run leaner” features a combination of ‘virtual assistance’ and a local presence.

Lean Office Solutions can cater to all companies, whether the need is a salesperson or consultant working from home, an expansion to a new market or mobile professionals. It can also help small businesses that are overloaded but can’t justify hiring more staff.

The company focuses on all aspects of office administration, including bookkeeping, word processing, data entry, transcription and a host of other services that a company might need. It is even offering a local address or branch office presence with toll, local and fax phone numbers to smaller entrepreneurs who want a bigger and more competitive branding solution.

Virtual assistance is the new wave in office solutions that is sweeping the world and growing rapidly, says the company in a release.

“With the combination of the Internet and new telecommunication provisions domineering how individuals and business operate today, the typical ‘secretary’

Canadian Blood Services community development co-ordinator Jennifer Heale notes that each donation has the potential to save three lives. On average, there will be someone in Canada needing blood or blood products every minute of every day.

That’s why the 20,000 blood clinics held annually in the country are so important, she says.

The Oct. 12 open house will run from 1 to 6 p.m.

The other half of the Home Support budget is realized through nominal client fees, fundraising efforts and donations from the annual doorto-door canvass.

Accepting from Cloutier, right, are, from left, Mayor Terry Gibeau on behalf of the Town of Arnprior, Eleanor Closs Murray on behalf of the Arnprior Agricultural Society and Jason Marshall on behalf of the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide newspaper.

“We are very thankful for the financial support year after year that residents of Arnprior and McNab-Braeside contribute to our annual canvass, and without that generosity to our community support agency, we

would not be in existence,” said Harrington. “Door-todoor canvassers will gladly accept cash and cheques.

Please make your cheque payable to Arnprior Seniors Home Support.”

Contributions are considered charitable donations and a tax receipt will

be issued. All volunteer canvassers will have proper identification visible.

YOUTH CORNER

PUMPKIN CARVING Another great Halloween program we have is our pumpkin carving. We will have all the supplies you need (including pumpkins) to carve out your dream pumpkin. Youth of all ages are welcome, although those eight and under must have a parent with them. Prizes will be awarded to scariest, funniest, among other pumpkin carvings.

Make it a family affair by registering as a family, or just with you. Pumpkins are limited and registration is necessary for the program. Register at the Nick Smith Centre for only $5.

This week is Thanksgiving and many of us are getting ready for family and food. We get a long weekend and we get to see family members that we haven’t seen since Easter.

Thanksgiving is an easy time to forget to be active.

We are busy eating home-cooked food and chatting with family members. We are showing our cousins our new video game and forgetting about our new ball hockey sticks.

There is no weekend better than this weekend to get all your family (young and old) together to play a fun, active game. Try soccer, European handball, flag football and other games.

Adults don’t want to play? Get all your cousins, neighbours and their cousins together to play a game of street hockey.

Get thinking about how you can get active and healthy. Our dodgeball program is starting Monday, Oct. 18, from 6 to 7 p.m. for ages nine to 16, our afterschool program registration is open now and filling up quick, we have a Boyzone cooking class coming up Oct. 20 and Aquafit Bootcamp Oct. 29.

All registration forms are available at the Nick Smith Centre.

For questions or concerns or to volunteer at the next dance, call the Nick Smith Centre at 613-623-7301 or email Kayla directly at kreinert@arnprior.ca

October is the month of spooks and scares!

Want some more scare in your life?

Join us on a spooktacular trip to Munster Hamlet and Saunder’s Farm Oct. 22.

We will be leaving Nick Smith Centre at 5 p.m. to have a night full of scares at their haunted hay ride, corn mazes and their haunted house.

This trip is not suggested for ages under 10 or those who are scared easily.

Take advantage of discounted rates, and free transportation.

Please note that we are a transportation service and while at the facility youth are responsible for themselves, we will not be in chaperoned groups.

High school students, this is the trip for you to get some friends together.

The cost is $25 per person and registration is available at the Nick Smith Centre now up until one week prior to the date (Friday, Oct. 15).
