Malloch Cemetery on the big screen?

SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

CARNIVAL SEASON Courtney Mosley, skating at the Braeside Carnival, was one of many people enjoying the winter weather last weekend.

This Saturday, there will be a winter carnival at McNab Public School.

The Malloch Road Cemetery may just set the perfect scene for an upcoming small budget film.

Former Arnprior resident James Harrison of New Player Pictures is the writer, director and producer of the Silver Lining, a short film set to begin filming in March.

The Toronto filmmaker, who still has family in the area, said he’s happy to be returning to Arnprior with his project.

His passion for filmmaking may well have started here in the Valley, says Harrison. As a child at a local cottage, he noticed a movie being filmed a few lots down. The scene called for the police to chase the bad guys

through a cottage and down to the waterfront where the villains escape by boat.

In the scene, the police were left shaking their fists and looking on helplessly, which didn’t sit right with Harrison, who suggested the cops at least shoot at the boat as it escaped.

The director not only listened to his critique, but implemented it and reshot the scene.

Harrison indicated he is considering the cemetery and another location for the movie, which will feature a prominent Canadian actress.

Which prominent Canadian actress? For now, Harrison’s not saying. “The actress has agreed to do it, we’re just going through the paperwork,” he says.

MP adrift in stormy political seas STEVE NEWMAN

PLAYOFF TIME The Arnprior District High School junior boys basketball team plays for a championship on their home court today and the Arnprior Packers host a playoff-opener tonight. 12, 14

The Internet is rife with comments of outrage after RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant suggested Newfoundlanders making their living from the sea should take more responsibility for their own safety and not expect to be rescued by the Coast Guard.

But the comments haven’t stopped there. Political commentators criticized Gallant’s remarks made Feb. 1 before a federal defence committee meeting in St. John’s. Naturally, party members bearing other than Conservative political stripes have also waded into the choppy waters.

FUTURE PACKER ALL-STAR? At the Junior B hockey all-star award banquet in Arnprior on Saturday, Packers coach Bill Griese presents the event’s guest speaker, Andrew Dickson, with Packer hockey sweaters for his young sons, Brock and Shea. As the Dicksons live in Carleton Place, the presentation was made with apologies to the Almonte Thunder, but “they can file tampering charges until hell freezes over” without a chance of success, quipped emcee and former Packer manager Jerry Jordan. For more on the allstar games, awards and Dickson’s speech, see Pages 12 and 23.

Proposed tax hike cut down to 1.83 DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Just like every budget season, the proposed tax increase bounces up and down, and won’t be

stilled until the last moment.

The 2011 Arnprior budget is no different. Last week town council eyed a 1.92 per cent increase.

Mayor willing to step up to walk for cancer group DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

After a presentation from the founder of Walk with my Mayor, Arnprior council agreed to put a team in fundraiser and challenge town staff to do the same.

Hyacinth Chatterton explained to the new council that when she first met Elta Watt, she wanted to create a fundraiser to support the breast cancer support group Watt started.

That was almost 10 years ago.

“This (David Reid) is the third (Arnprior) mayor (after Len Shean, Terry Gibeau) I’ve welcomed on the walk,” Chatterton said at Monday evening’s meeting.

“We’ve also included schools this year, including for the first time elementary

schools.”

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell has been an enthusiastic supporter in the past.

Parks and Recreation director Glenn Arthur said staff dedicates time and road blocking equipment to the cause, but that it only costs taxpayers about $300 to $400 a year.

Walk with my Mayor generates about $6,000 every year.

“I’m sure everybody has had family and friends with cancer. I will certainly be there,” Mayor David Reid said.

“I would also like to challenge staff to put together a team, too.”

The walk is set for April 30, starting at 10 a.m., at the Quality Inn on Madawaska Boulevard.

Movie story based on 9/11 loss Continued from front Upon completion, Harrison hopes to submit the film to several festivals, including the LA Short Film Festival.

At Monday’s meeting in Arnprior, council approved the use of the municipal cemetery for the purposes of filming.

Harrison described The Silver Lining as a very simple story based around the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

In act one and two of the film, the audience gets to know main character Sharon and learns she has been devastated by the loss of someone dear in the attack. She is struggling to cope with the loss, says Harrison. What the audience doesn’t learn is the identity of the individual.

“You just know her whole life has been turned upside down,” he says.

“She’s even pushed away people in her family.”

The only person left to

JAMES HARRISON help her pick up the pieces is a man named Michael.

In act three, the audience learns the person she’s grieving is actually her beloved Michael, a New York City firefighter who is between life and death.

“Michael is there in spirit form trying to help her out,” says Harrison.

Most films based on Sept.

11 focus on the “death and destruction” of events, he says.

The silver lining of Sept.

11 was found when people around the world came together following the attacks to grieve and help each other heal. Racial discrimination, religious differences – all was set aside in the aftermath, he says.

“You can always find some good in any bad situation,” says Harrison.

The movie includes a dialogue scene to be filmed at the cemetery in March, as well as a sequence of shots that will be filmed several months later.

Town staff recommended council grant the approval for several reasons, including minimal impact on the cemetery (the film crew is expected to be made up of five or six people and a cube van), no closures or other considerations are required and the town will receive a credit at the end of the film for having given permission.

Harrison’s Arnprior roots were also noted in the staff report.

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

During council’s capital budget meeting Feb. 9, Arnprior town staff asked council for $2.58 million to buy everything from new trucks to renovations for municipal buildings.

The administration department is asking for $811,005 to cover Town Hall renovations ($711,000); software and laptops for councillors ($60,000), which Mayor David Reid said could be purchased for less; a new folder inserter for mailouts ($20,000), the last one being bought used about four years ago; software for staff ($20,000); and money for furniture and equipment ($5,000).

The museum is asking for $55,000 to cover a disability ramp ($24,000), elevator

design plan ($10,000) and replacement of ground floor windows ($21,000).

The Parks and Recreation department is asking for $461,225 to cover paving at the Nick Smith Centre ($206,000), roof replacements at the Nick Smith Centre ($144,125), metal ramps for the skate board park ($45,000) and among other items.

The Public Works department is asking for $946,330 to cover DA Gillies building (museum) work, including pointing ($196,330); heating system replacement at DA Gillies ($52,000); ground mount solar energy system ($75,000); sidewalk replacements on Thomas Street and elsewhere ($75,000); a new roof on the chemical building ($70,000); and other items.

The Fire Services department is asking for $314,856 to cover: an equipment-command squad to replace a pumper truck

($150,000), a daily duty vehicle ($58,000) and other items.

PRIORITY LIST Councillors asked staff for their opinion on which are items are crucial to purchase this year. Treasurer David Pollard suggested council fund the public works department’s design plans. It will save time when grants pop up, and the information will be solid for years to come.

There was no appetite among councillors to spend $50,000 trying to find a solution – not even implementing an action plan – to the wastewater odour problem.

They ordered staff to call other municipalities to see if a quick fix is possible. An asbestos plan could also be delayed.

Council and staff agreed that doing at

least a small amount of sidewalk work every year is important. However, Reeve Walter Stack was vexed that two streets, Landrigan and Tierney, weren’t on the list to be fixed this year. “It’s time to deal with them,” Stack said. “We said we would after Ottawa, Bell and Harriet.”

Parks and Recreation director Glenn Arthur was asked if paving the Nick Smith parking lot was necessary. He said it’s been the preferred option since 1978.

Mayor David Reid said it could be done in stages.

Spending $26,000 to create a fencedoff dog park near McLean Beach didn’t elicit reaction from councillors; nor did the prospect of installing a dry hydrant for $25,000. Councillors debated funding capital projects last night, Feb. 16, after the newspaper’s press deadline.

Rising policing, fire costs discussed by Arnprior council

Continued from front This week, during Tuesday’s special committee-ofthe-whole meeting, the figure jumped from 2.06 to 3.59, before settling back at 1.83 per cent.

That’s because staff presented council – minus an absent Mayor David Reid and Coun. Mark Willmer - with a final, trimmed down list of labour and capital costs.

First on the list was the hefty OPP salary increase.

Council learned it would go up another $52,000, to about 17.5 per cent above last year’s number.

Because policing is mandated by the province, the

town is forced to meet OPP demands.

“The town is at its brink point for funding policing,” said Reeve Walter Stack.

“Anything over 2 per cent is going to be really difficult for our community this year.”

Staff asked for more staff or increased hours in administration, the fire service and parks and recreation.

The latter asked for more janitorial hours now that the library has expanded to two floors. It was approved.

Fire chief John Okum argued that with his former position of fire prevention officer vacant, money has been saved to pay for the new

Half per cent county tax levy rise eyed Renfrew County property-owners could get a break in the county portion of their tax bill this year.

Both McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell and Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack reported to their councils this week that the preliminary budget submissions by staff indicate the County levy will go up by .5 per cent this year.

“There could be changes,” cautioned Campbell. “But this looks good.”

Stack noted that some Renfrew County councillors have pet projects that they will probably try to add to the budget.

A 7.93 per cent boost in countywide assessment (1.6% in new growth and 6.4% increase in reassessment) will help keep the levy stable. As well, the uploading of social services back to the provincial level means fewer property tax dollars are going to be needed to fund Ontario Works, Campbell noted.

County councillors will tackle the budget in two workshops next week.

position. It was rejected.

PAID FIREFIGHTERS? Coun. Lynn Grinstead suggested studying the possibility of converting the volunteer fire department to a “composite” one, similar to that in Renfrew where half the crew is paid and half volunteer.

She said Arnprior’s department is equipment rich and employee poor. She also argued it would bring jobs to the town and increase safety – especially during the day when many volunteer firefighters are at work in Ottawa.

Stack said because the town has been “blessed” with a volunteer fire department, Arnprior could afford to buy good equipment. He said at $80,000 a job, the town can’t afford a composite department.

No decision was made to study the possibility.

However, council did approve increasing firefighters’ volunteer wages by 0.26 per cent, or $16,000. Equipment and training was also boosted by $7,000.

One of the few outstanding items to be settled - before the final tax increase is set at the Tuesday, Feb. 22 meeting – is whether to fund

the economic development officer. To keep the tax hike under 2 per cent, council has about $15,000 to play with, it was calculated at the meeting.

With Reid on the economic development committee, there is a good chance the position will be kept, but whether it becomes a town employee position or remains the private sector under the control of the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce, remains unknown.

Council is expected to approve the budget at a 5 p.m. open session Feb. 22 in town council chambers.

Wrong number The Arnprior Fire Services department budget is $450,000. A Feb. 10 ChronicleGuide story suggested the budget was $2.8 million.

That figure should have applied to all emergency services, including OPP and animal control, which is called Protection to Persons and Property.

Arnprior council hears budget wish lists

derek.dunn@metroland.com

A recommendation Monday at Arnprior council’s committee-of-the-whole meeting to withdraw water/ice rescue services to neighbouring municipalities caused Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack to ask ďŹ re chief John Okum what would happen if a child were drowning in McNabBraeside. “My people would not be responding,â€? Okum said. “I don’t know how we’re going to say we’re not coming if someone’s life is on the line,â€? Stack responded.

Stack said he understands the Arnprior Fire Services is short on specialized water rescue volunteers at the moment, down from 18 when the service was created in 2001 to just two who could respond during daytime now.

It would endanger the safety of rescue crews if they did respond, he acknowledged.

Even the Ontario Fire Marshal has suggested terminating the seven agreements Arnprior has inked with neighbouring municipalities, including Renfrew, Okum said.

However, Stack said he worries more about the liability and moral implications of not responding to an emergency, especially now that neighbouring municipalities have come to depend on the town’s service and equipment.

Church Dance Saturday, February 26, 2011

Okum said Arnprior OPP is legally to perform body recovery alone. Stack responded that, even so, ofďŹ cers have jumped in the water to save two people in the last couple of years.

Coun. Ted Strike sided with Okum, saying Arnprior would not be better off sending an insufďŹ cient number of rescuers to an emergency. He recommended telling the municipalities as clearly as possible what lies ahead. “Tell them that we can’t respond because we don’t have the people? And carry on as best we can?â€? Strike said. “(No.) We have to put people on notice.â€?

Ten volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghters are soon to begin training in water/ ice rescue, which will help in the long run. But there is still a problem with cost. The seven municipalities pay Arnprior $200 each for training. It costs $10,000 to train one person.

Mayor David Reid convinced council to defer making a decision until the next meeting, in two weeks, and consider a new arrangement. “We want to be good neighbours. It’s a tough call,� Reid said. “We should revisit the agreement to be shared equitably.�

If at the Feb. 28 meeting council opts to withdraw the service, neighbouring municipalities will have 90 days to ďŹ nd alternatives. Pembroke offers a slightly less effective service.

work for town-led projects such as infrastructure improvements, urban design enhancements and other revitalization proposals.

The plan will support and encourage public and private investment in Arnprior, especially in the downtown Arnprior and other areas considered to be in need of revitalization.

Council stresses that the success of the effort will depend, in part, on the participation of a wide range of stakeholders.

Tuesday’s public session will be followed up Wednesday, Feb. 23 with a morning stakeholder workshop at the Nick Smith Centre.

Various stakeholders have been invited to take part.

Following next week’s sessions, the consultant and town staff will complete a Community Improvement Strategy report and a CIP. An additional opportunity for public input will take place at a future public meeting, likely to be held in March.

After the 2011 town budget is approved next week, Arnprior council will host a public information meeting to introduce a Community Improvement Plan (CIP) for the town.

The budget meeting is set to start at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, with the discussion of ways to enhance Arnprior to follow at 6 p.m., with both meetings in council chambers.

Council has retained the MMM Group to assist it in the preparation of a plan to promote community revitalization through such initiatives as economic development, rehabilitation, heritage preservation and community design.

Council is considering using the CIP to guide it in providing grants, loans or tax incentives to Arnprior property owners who wish to improve or develop their property.

A CIP may also set a frame-

Although the McCuaigs live in Arnprior, Harris’s family members were Braeside folks. The Archives information table also included photographs, clipping and information about the two major fires at Braeside. The Archives is holding its annual meeting this Saturday, Feb. 19 at 1 p.m. in the upper level of the Arnprior Public Library.

The public is welcome to attend and hear Lesley Anderson, who Smith describes as a dynamic speaker, explain the features of the Ancestry, a free service at the library. An open house will be held afterwards.

EDITORIAL

Conservative riding association should replace Gallant It’s impossible to brush off national outrage over yet another Cheryl Gallant gaffe as nothing more than whining from the politically correct left. Not unless newcomers to the left include Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his powerful inner circle.

More accurately is to realize that Gallant and her supporters are on the extreme right: Canada’s Sarah Palin and the Tea party. Angry, divisive, and harmful at the local and national level.

In the name of restoring respect to the party (not to mention Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke), it’s time Conservative riding association president Tom Tracey and the board of directors ask Gallant to step aside. She has never represented solely mainstream conservative principles needed to form a majority and never will.

After 10 years as MP, Gallant, one of the first in Ontario to jump aboard Alberta-inspired reform conservatism,

remains an opposition-minded reactionary who has irrevocably lost the respect of her colleagues in Ottawa, which isn’t helpful to this riding.

Far from proving risky, the move to replace Gallant would only serve to improve the party’s, and riding’s, near and distant prospects. Gallant managed to win past elections without saying why people should vote for her. That would suggest many voted for the party, not her.

Replacing her would bring renewal and offer a sensible conservative alternative during the next election – an election that already has the centre-left divided among at least two parties and an independent.

Do it before, perhaps, the prime minister does, which might see the party facing her as a martyred independent.

For an MP muzzled by her own party, Gallant has managed over the years to suggest the following in public: • Newfoundlanders shouldn’t expect

government to rescue them if stranded in the Atlantic Ocean. This, in a room with people who lost family in maritime accidents; • That a Liberal Cabinet member is gay by hurling “ask his boyfriend” in Question Period that must have had Parliament Hill tourists rolling their eyes; • That a bill to protect sexual orientation (gays) from hate propaganda would protect pedophiles; • Comparing abortion to the beheading of an Iraq war hostage; • Christians were being persecuted in a Liberal party flyer.

Even in Gallant’s householder flyers, her choice of words is beyond partisan, it is deliberately misleading. Calling other democratically elected parties an “opposition coalition” is flat out untrue.

There has never been a formal federal coalition in Canada, good or bad.

The constant repetition of the “Toronto” Liberals, “socialist” NDP and

“separatist” Bloc signals a mean-spirited view of fellow Canadians who happen to vote other than Conservative, and doesn’t do anything to contribute to reasoned discourse.

Such comments are more than a passing embarrassment. They hurt the party, which already has a reputation for topdown control.

They hurt the riding, which needs a respected MP if it has any chance of saving our railway tracks and AECL. Without the ear of the prime minister, our needs are ignored and our wants – such as creating jobs and economic activity that should happen this close to the nation’s capital – are virtually impossible to win. That is the bottom line.

It’s time local Conservatives take a principled stand for the party and the riding. Show Gallant the door and begin anew with a candidate who reflects the common sense views of most constituents in the riding.

LETTERS

This riding deserves better To the editor: Life in the political arena never ceases to amaze me.

Ten years ago, I was telling friends from another part of Canada that I had the “dubious distinction” of living in a federal riding with one of two Canadian Alliance MPs east of the Manitoba border.

What an unfortunate situation. Where were we headed in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke?

Sad to say we still have the same MP — who does not enter debates or attend editorial meetings. In fact, she seems to be fairly well muzzled.

Well, with last week’s gaffe in Newfoundland and Labrador (re the Coast Guard), she managed to break loose from the muzzle. These remarks were insensitive, lacking in knowledge and just plain offensive. We deserve better than this.

It is an embarrassment to have to acknowledge that I live in a riding with such poor quality federal representation.

Pay raise – must be nice To the editor: So, the Arnprior town council allowed for a 2.5 per cent pay raise for themselves and town employees.

Must be nice to vote yourself a pay raise, after all, it’s only taxpayers money, right?

I’m sure that every other resident of Arnprior is getting the same raise too, aren’t they?

There was a time that town councillors got a meagre stipend for the time they put in.

This helped prevent them from getting too cushy in their position, and it also prevented them from taking too much of the tax funds.

Maybe Arnprior should go back to that.

MP Gallant’s comments shameful To the editor: As a resident of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, I am humiliated and outraged by the comments of our Member of Parliament in Newfoundland on the subject of sea rescue.

and speaking without thinking.

Coupling that ignorance with the sort of contempt for working men and women she appears to feel is sickening. This kind of thing makes me ashamed that she represents the Ottawa Valley. It is understandable Stephen Harper has tried to prevent her from speaking in public.

Ice huts private not public places To the editor: With regards to the article ‘No drinking in ice huts: OPP’ in the Feb. 10 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, I am not a lawyer, but I think the OPP is mistaken in their interpretation of this act.

It appears that the argument could easily be made that an ice hut is a private place as defined in the regulations.

The article states that an ice hut is not a) a residence; b) premises in respect of which a licence or permit is issued; or (c) a private place as defined in the regulations.

The corresponding regulation that was omitted in the article seems to be in R.R.O. 1990, REGULATION 718, that “(3) (1) For the purposes of clauses 30 (13) (a) and 31 (2) (c) of the Act”, defines a private place to be a whole bunch of things including, (2) An indoor place to which the public is not ordinarily invited or permitted is considered to be a private place except at the times when the public is invited or permitted access to it. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 718, s. 3 (2).

This is clarified by (3) Despite subsection (2), an indoor place that is available for rental by members of the public for occasional use is not a private place.

R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 718, s. 3 (3).

It appears to me that a typical ice hut is an indoor place that the public is not ordinarily invited and as such is a private place.

Additionally many ice huts require registration to exist on the ice – this should be enough to make them legitimate enough to be a ‘place’.

Obviously if you were drinking outside your ice hut that would be an entirely different situation.

I suggest you review my points, and print a clarification if you also feel the OPP is incorrect.

It seems that there are a number of ice huts in this area and I believe the newspaper should be providing those owners with the proper information when it comes to the consumption of alcohol in these places.

This will also allow them to be better educated when the OPP come knocking during their patrols.

Effective representation lacking

To the editor: Lately, for all the wrong reasons, our MP has made headlines from sea to shining sea.

My concern is that

our MP has again shown such poor judgement and that she will be even less effective in representing us than ever.

In my view this riding would be much better off with someone who understands the needs of the riding and can represent us credibly

in parliament and has good standing within her party.

In nature love and life do follow death

Whether we face life after death is a question that may go forever unanswered.

But in the real world there is no question that the death of one animal provides life for many others.

From the smallest insect cadaver to the carcass of a moose, a dead animal never goes to waste. An army of creatures exploits the dead and in many cases cannot survive without them.

This is particularly true in winter when life is separated from death by a thin, unsteady tightrope.

Starvation is the greatest threat facing winter-active creatures; falling victim to another animal places a not so near second.

While certainly not performed out of consideration, wolves and coyotes play pivotal roles in the survival of many other animals.

By killing large prey such as moose and deer, these large carnivores sustain themselves. However, the leftovers are eagerly enjoyed by many animals including Red Foxes, Fishers, Martens, Common Ravens, American Crows, Blue Jays, Gray Jays, Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, and even woodpeckers and Black-capped Chickadees.

Incidentally, wolves and coyotes are only able to accomplish their feats be-

cause they hunt as social units; the pack strategy is their key to success.

Ravens are particularly tied to the success of their mammalian benefactors.

They sometimes follow wolf Michael Runtz packs in winter, patiently waiting Nature’s Way until the pack is successful.

They sit on the sidelines while the hunters feast, sneaking in for a quick meal at every opportunity.

I have watched wolves give halfhearted chase to ravens, likely knowing their chances of catching one are about as good as those of being able to fly. Like matadors tempting bulls, ravens even seem to take turns teasing wolves away from a kill, giving the green light for other ravens to slip in for a snack.

In the far North, ravens are known to work as tag-teams. One teases a sled dog (apparently from just beyond the reach of its chain) away from its meal

while the other darts in to steal its food.

Berndt Heinrich, one of my favourite natural history authors, studied ravens in Maine. His book Ravens in Winter is an excellent read and reveals many insights into the lives of these northern birds.

Heinrich wondered why some ravens, usually in pairs, were silent when dealing with a carcass while larger groups were constantly uttered screams and croaks.

The groups were highly animated with some birds fluffing up and strutting around while others slunk into the background.

What Heinrich found was nothing short of astounding.

The quiet pairs were resident adult birds, apparently wanting to keep the food to themselves. The groups were comprised of juvenile birds that actively sought to vocally solicit more of their kind. Their large numbers ensured a takeover of a resident pair’s bounty. The group size also offered another benefit. The young birds actively court and establish pair bonds. Imagine – a dead moose is nothing less than a singles bar for ravens!

The Nature number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Coyote killing contests not the answer To the editor: Letter writer Jacqui Ehninger-Cuervo (Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, Feb. 10) states that she dislikes coyote killing contests, but that farmers, particularly smaller operations, need realistic solutions for protecting their sheep.

If fencing is not an option, then properly selected and trained guard animals are. The secretary of a local district sheep marketing agency recently indicated she’s experienced no kills in her 26-member flock, something she largely attributes to her two Maremma breed dogs. Others count on their llamas. Scores of studies have proven the effectiveness of guard animals.

It is important to separate the promotion and motivation around the coyote killing contests with the actual facts of livestock predation and options for protection.

All wildlife populations spike and fall. An Ontario Soil and Crop Association report shows that even with increasing sheep and lamb production in Ontario, the loss due to predation has remained the same over the last decade at 3 per cent. Clearly then the majority of farmers are adopting successful protection methods.

“Servivability is what it’s all about,” she conco-workers have died in maritime cluded. accidents.

Outrage has swept across Canada after reports of Gallant saying: “In Ontario we have inland seas, the Great Lakes, and it would never occur to any of us, even up in the Ottawa River, to count on the Coast Guard to come and help us.”

Gallant later indicated her comments were misconstrued, and she regretted the way the comments were taken. She told the Chronicle-Guide Tuesday that the continuing fall-out is a mediamanufactured event.

At the St. John’s committee meeting, Gallant also said, “Just as the oil companies are starting to pitch in because they’re profiting from the resources, so too perhaps should the province think about the benefits that it is obtaining from that sector, and figure out a way to pool our resources, federally as well as provincially, and from the private sector.”

It’s the latest in a long string of verbal gaffes by Gallant, says Christine Tabbert, the Liberal federal candidate for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke.

The MP’s latest remarks are inappropriate because of their insensitivity and uninformed nature, said Tabbert.

“People are very upset,” said Tabbert, noting Gallant’s past gaffes have included the use of residents’ personal information (for birthday wishes), homophobic comments directed at MP Bill Graham in the House of Commons, and inappropriate remarks about abortion.

Former Liberal MP Hec Clouthier, who’s running as an Independent in the riding in the next federal election, said it’s “very clear that the Prime Minister is upset with Mrs. Gallant for her comments, and his remarks make it very clear that they have an extremely low level of confidence in her.”

“I want to offer my humble and heartfelt apologies for remarks made regarding search and rescue service,” said Gallant in a news release.

In calling the response a media-manufactured event Tuesday, Gallant pointed out she has apologized for her remarks “I had no intention of diminishing my respect for those who make their living by the sea,” she insisted to The Chronicle-Guide.

Gallant said she appreciates the response from Newfoundland natural resources minister Skinner that MPs need to look past the rhetoric to improve the response time of search and rescue helicopters, including the three stationed out of Gander.

Packers open against Almonte tonight PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Arnprior Packers will take on the Almonte Thunder in the opening round of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League playoffs starting this evening (Thursday).

The Packers finished the 2010-11 Valley Division campaign in second place (21-18-and-3) following a pair of wins last week, while the Thunder was able to squeeze into third one point ahead of the Renfrew Timberwolves. The best-of-seven series gets underway tonight at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Nick Smith Centre.

Game two in Almonte Sunday, Feb. 20 starts at 3:45 p.m. Game three will be Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre, with Arnprior also hosting home games, if necessary Sunday, Feb. 27 and Friday, March 4.

The Packers scored three quick goals twice en route to a crucial 60 win over the Metcalfe Jets last Wednesday. After a scoreless 20 minutes, Michael Byrne, Braedon Moffatt and Taylor Collins connected on the first eight minutes of the second period to give Arnprior a 3-0 edge.

Moffatt canned his second of the night, followed by Colin Bradbury and Stephen Baylis just outside of three minutes midway through the final stanza. German Tsatsura was credited with 48 saves while posting his third shutout of the 2010-11 season. The Packers penalty killing unit was also sharp in turning away all seven Metcalfe opportunities.

The Packers struck for three unanswered third-period goals to put away the stubborn Stittsville Royals 4-2 Friday and clinch second place in the Valley Division.

Valley Division MVP and top scorer Taylor Collins netted both the gametying and winning goals about two and a half minutes apart. Stephen Baylis provided insurance with the fourth Arnprior marker. Dylan Briand opened the scoring for the Packers in the second period before Dave Borden and Greg Harding connected to give Stittsville a 2-1 lead.

With second place locked up, coach and general manager Bill Griese rested a number of players Sunday against Renfrew, a contest won by the visiting Timberwolves 6-3.

He also got both goalies Tsatsura and Matt Gagne into the game. Pat-

rick Dick, Michael Byrne and James Bimm were Arnprior marksmen.

Stephen Baylis tabbed two assists.

PLAYOFF PREVIEW The Packers went 3-2-1 against the Thunder this season, but did lose two of their last three against Almonte, including a 4-2 Frost Fest defeat in Pakenham Jan. 28.

Griese said his young team would be in tough against either Almonte or Renfrew. “Both teams are big with good goaltending. We got ahead of them (in the standings) because of our quick start.”

The Packers are led by Collins, won the Valley division scoring title by 15 points by scoring 34 goals and adding 35 assists.

Other Packers in the top 25 scoring were Colin Bradbury (18-22), Braedon Moffatt (15-23) and injured Casey Doner (20-13).

Meanwhile, Patrick Dick has found a spot on the Packers roster.

“He plays with the (Ottawa Valley) Titans and their season is over. I was impressed with what I saw from him Sunday night. I’m going to keep him with us,” said Griese.

Packer win four awards, earn praise at all-star showcase Arnprior Packer scoring star Taylor Collins has been named the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League Valley Division’s Most Valuable Player.

It was one of four awards presented to Packers at the league’s all-star showcase in Arnprior Saturday.

Other Packers winners were the Valley’s coach of the year Bill Griese and trainer of the year Eric Talbot. Talbot shared the award with Almonte Thunder’s trainer Justin Hemsley.

Metro coach of the year was Andrew Scott of the Metcalfe Jets and Jennifer Purdy of the Ottawa Jr. Canadians was the Metro trainer of the year award.

Collins also received the Valley Division’s top scorer award.

His 34 goals and 35 assists were 15 points more than runner-up Dan Weir of Perth.

During the banquet, emcee and former Packer president Jerry Jordan recognized Bruce Armsden, who received a warm round of applause when it was mentioned he had been Packers equipment manager for 54 years.

The Packers received praise from league officials for being such a good host at the prospects and veterans all-star games and the awards banquet at the Nick Smith Centre. It was the first time Arnprior has hosted the event.

The Valley Prospects,

coached by Packers bench staff, outscored the Metro Prospects 5-3 during the Metro-Valley allstar showcase Saturday at the Nick Smith Centre.

The Packers certainly made their presence felt, as Colin Bradbury had two goals and Teddy Suckow one. Braedon Moffat added two assists, and Suckow and Stephen Baylis one each.

Goaltender Matt Gagne started and blanked the Metro over his 20 minutes of work.

The Packers’ Casey Doner was selected to the Prospects lineup before a back injury sidelined him for the season.

He did drop the puck during pre-game ceremonies.

The Metro won the free-

wheeling Veterans game 17-9.

Packers suiting up were Marc Vacher, Mitch Melanson, Ryan Eady and Taylor Collins.

Collins had a hat trick and a couple of assists for the Valley squad. Eady added helpers on the first two Valley markers.

Named top players in the game were Collins and the Metro Division’s MVP, Jason Talbot from Clarence Creek.

Talbot also won the division’s top scorer award, with 33 goals and 44 assists for a conferencetopping 77 points. It was one of nine awards presented to Clarence Creek players and officials.

The full list of winners is on the Packers website www.arnpriorpackers.com.

AGAINST ALL ODDS John Leslie, a fifth-year ADHS student and fourth year snowboarder, suffered from cancer about seven years ago and lost his leg. He wears a prosthetic leg and competes against all the able body racers at the snowboarding meets.

He normally finishes in the top quarter of the race standings or better, as seen at the Redmen invitational meet.

Leslie has been recruited to compete at the World Para-Snowboarding championships in April in Lake Louise in the boardercross event.

The Arnprior District High School (ADHS) snowboard and alpine skiing teams have excelled again this season.

The teams, led by students Chanelle Fortin and Maureen Freemark, are participating in Eastern Ontario championships this week.

The snowboarders compete Friday, Feb. 18 at Camp Fortune, with ADHS the official hosts. The ski team was scheduled to be in action Wednesday at Calabogie Peaks.

The winners move on to the Ontario championships. ADHS coaches Krista Petrie Wallace and Karen Dodds are organizing the snowboarding OFSAA March 4 at Mount Fortune. The top alpine skiers will go to Blue Mountain in Collingwood Feb. 28 to March 1.

The ADHS teams won 27 medals in the Renfrew County championships.

In the county snowboarding championship Feb. 4 at Calabogie Peaks, Fortin, who is the Eastern Ontario defending champion, placed first, beating her nearest rival by more than a few seconds, which is exceptional in snowboarding.

The ADHS team of Fortin, Amanda Milne, Amy Furgoch and Bethany Rampton placed second overall behind RCI In boys snowboarding, Evan Campbell placed second to Renfrew, as did the team of Campbell, John Leslie, Cameron Dodge, Dave Cobus and Tyler Power.

In the Upper Ottawa Valley High School AA County Ski competition Feb. 14, Freemark placed first in level one, as did the ADHS team of Freemark, Liz Orenstein,

Alex Leslie, Nicole Cavanaugh and Emma Baird.

Orenstein was third in the slalom and giant slalom races.

In the boys level one races, Brad Hammel of ADHS was second and Hugh Colbert third. The ADHS team of Hammel, Colbert, Alex Brittle, Nic Headrick and Mackenzie Bourgoin was first overall.

In level two boys skiing, Mitch Bott of ADHS was second.

The county championships attracted 14 and 21 racers in girls and boys snowboarding and 27 girls and 48 boys in the skiing races. Eleven skiers and 14 snowboarders qualified for EOSSAA this week.

On Jan, 7, the Redmen Invitational Ski and Snowboard Meet was held at Mt. Pakenham with Fortin again winning the women’s snowboarding race and Milne finishing third. Campbell was second and Leslie third in the boy’s competition.

# 3897 Waldo

# 3840 Regan

This big, silly puppy loves everyone he meets. Waldo, who was found in Braeside and never claimed, is a seven-month-old neutered male Walker Hound. He is a happygo-lucky boy with a great disposition. Waldo is easygoing and loves everyone he meets.

He will beneďŹ t from obedience training but is partially housebroken and crate-trained.

Waldo is good with other dogs and curious about cats. He will require a home with a fenced yard so he can enjoy some off-leash exercise.

This sweet, gentle cat deserves a home of her own. Regan, a medium-haired, brown tabby who is about two years old and has been spayed, was brought to the shelter at the end of September - she was very pregnant.

All of her kittens have found great homes and now it is Reganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn. Regan is quiet, beautiful, affectionate and friendly. She likes attention but likes her own space as well. She is independent and curious and is good with other cats but prefers to be alone.

Regan is easy to handle and can often be found curled up the sunshine.

Supplies the shelter needs: bleach, paper towels, laundry soap, dog rawhides and cat beds.

Arnprior Atom Packers were ‘A’ champs in Prescott winning all five games in a tournament. In the top row, from left, are manager Jason McCormick, trainer Kevin Lister, assistant coaches Shaun Barr and Brian Dick and coach Derek Clarke; in the second row are Devon Cavers, Chad Cherry, Cory Kippen, Mitchell Ross, Jessie Dick, Kolby Lister and Carter Smith; in the third row are Ethan McCormick, Nicholas Ross, Curtis Barr, Spencer King, Brayden Prince, Will Clarke and Kurtis Malloch.

Atom Packers at it again The Arnprior Atom Packers have been tearing up the tournament circuit over the last month with two solid wins.

The first triumph came in the B division of the very popular Peterborough Liftlock Atom tournament in early January. The Packers went unbeaten on their way to victory, besting strong teams from North Bay, Paris, Listowel and Highland in the final.

The Packers’ greatest test of the tournament was a tie against a the AA Eastern Ontario Cobras where it took three goals in the last four minutes of the game to pull into a tie with the a very strong team.

The second win came in early February in the South Grenville Atom Rep tournament. The Packers won all five games on way to victory.

It was perhaps the greatest competition they have had all year against teams from Alexandria, Clarence, South Stormont and Brockville in the round-robin. In the semi-final, the Packers bested Alexandria, which set up a final showdown with the Packers main Valley rivals, the Renfrew Timberwolves.

Arnprior won the final 3 - 1 in an exciting defensive battle. The Packers look to take this momentum into the playoffs where they play the Valley Storm in the first round.

Between the Sheets Continued from Page 16 Combine 17 mystery hosts and 64 mystery guests and you will come up with a great deal of intrigue and a successful fundraiser for the club.

Club members and friends gathered at the club at 7 p.m. and then took off for parts unknown as they read directions to the homes where they would be dining that evening. At the same time, 17 mystery hosts watched their doors waiting to see who rang the bell.

Great fun, great food and great friends and we raised $2,400 to go towards the acquisition of our club. Many thanks to the committee that worked so hard to make this project a suc-

cess, all the hosts for their time and hospitality and we can’t forget our guests who supported the evening by purchasing dinners.

Great work all of you.

The Just Wanna Have Fun Dinner and Dance is going to be held this Saturday, Feb 19. The bonspiel is completely full with 16 teams playing with a dinner and dance with Jesse’s DJ. Dinner is at 6:30 p.m. and dance at 8 p.m.

Here are some of the upcoming events. On Feb. 25 there will be a Murray/Anderson Spaghetti Night and on March 4 a chili night.

The closing banquet will be held March 26. Hope to see everyone there.

Ontario’s winter free fishing weekend corresponds with the Family Day long weekend this year.

From Feb. 19-21, families can try ice fishing licence-free, making it an ideal time to experience the sport for the first time or try it again. All regular fishing rules and restrictions apply. You can check those out at ontario.ca/ fishing or pick up a copy at any licence issuer or Service Ontario location.

Among the special events s a West Carleton Fish and Game Club ice-fishing derby this Saturday, Feb. 19 on Shirley’s Bay. A week later (Feb. 26), the Calabogie Fish and Game Club’s 10th annual Jamie Wright Memorial Fish Derby will run from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Barnet Cottage Park.

Ministry of Natural Resources Pembroke senior official fish and wildlife technical specialist Darwin Rosien said that 5,684 ice fishing huts have been registered in Renfrew County this winter, although that running total doesn’t take into account numbers that have fallen out of use since the registration program’s inception in the late-1980s. Nor does it consider that a registration holder can have more than one hut.

About 1.3 million anglers fish in Ontario each year and spend $2.5 billion in the province annually. Canadian residents can also fish without a licence July 2-10.

Registration starts at 10:30 a.m., with the run starting at 1 1 : 3 0 a.m. from the Prior in Arnprior.

The cost includes a $15 entry fee and $5 per hand.

The ride goes from Arnprior to JR’s in Almonte to The Point in Constance Bay. The finish line is the Kinburn Community Centre, where there will be a cash bar and music from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.

Food will be served at 6 p.m.

There will be prizes for first, second and third place as well as for the youngest and oldest riders.

Character and hockey sense can trump skills when it comes to predicting which young players will succeed in the hockey world.

And the way they treat their mothers is telling too.

Andrew Dickson, a former local hockey star and scout for the National Hockey League Columbus Blue Jackets, explained to those attending the Ontario Junior Hockey League Valley-Metro awards banquet in Arnprior Feb. 12 what he looks for when scouting players.

“It all comes down to character,” said Dickson, the guest speaker for the awards banquet that followed the Metro-Valley all-star games.

While Dickson, who attends 200-plus games a year, evaluates hockey sense, skating ability and skill, he said scouts take special notice of attitude. “We’re not only into stats … often it’s the little things that are important,” he said.

“Do something to make us (scouts) remember you,” he advised the players.

“Give us something to talk about later.”

He said he recommended one player, despite his poor skating, because he had “the best hockey sense I’ve ever seen.”

He became captain of a highly successful university team.

In an interview with a hot-shot pros-

pect, the player kept interrupting his mother who had accompanied him. “He disrespected his mother … I didn’t recommend him,” said Dickson. “So be good to your moms,” he told the players.

Banquet emcee Jerry Jordan noted Dickson, who grew up in the Pakenham area, is a prime example of how important a good upbringing is to success in hockey.

Dickson said the hockey can create “incredible opportunities” for players if they are committed to the game.

Dickson knows first-hand what it takes.

An original member of the Ottawa Valley Titans and a star with the CJHL Ottawa Junior Senators, the Arnprior District High School graduate earned a scholarship to Colgate, where he played four seasons from 1989-93, serving as captain of the team.

Dickson, who now lives in Carleton Place, also played hockey in Europe and coached at Colgate, helping develop several well-known players including current Ottawa Senator Jesse Winchester.

He congratulated the junior B players for earning all-star status and playing for the love of the game. “Cherish this moment,” he said. “You should be proud of yourselves … you’re all-stars for a reason.”

He also praised Arnprior and the league for how well the all-star game festivities were organized and run.

A house party that threatened to get out of control has prompted Arnprior OPP to remind residences a Home Owner Registry is available at Arnprior OPP Detachment.

On Feb. 11, Arnprior OPP officers responded to a house party in town where minors were consuming alcohol and the residence sustained damage from unidentified and unwanted persons. The owners of the residence were not home.

Arnprior officers attended the residence and arranged for parents to attend and pick up their teenagers from the party.

Arnprior OPP remind homeowners that if they are going to be away on vacation, they can contact the detachment for advice and to discuss additional security measures.

OPP also caution that if house parties are advertised through social media, they can have the potential to attract many uninvited guests.

Home owners can be liable for intoxicated persons leaving their residences.

The call was one of 154 attended to by Arnprior OPP officers during the past two weeks.

The OPP attended 18 false alarm and false 911 calls during the period. Police remind everyone to ensure alarms are in good working order and to dial the phone carefully to help keep the number of false alarms to a minimum.

Every false alarm requires police attendance, taking officers away from other potentially critical incidents.

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CASH IN AT THE OTTAWA ROADSHOW YESTERDAY!

By Jason Delong

Yesterday at the Travelodge West, hundreds lined up to cash in antiques, collectibles, gold and jewejry at the Treasure Hunters Roadshow.

The free event is in Ottawa all week, buying gold, silver, antiques and collectibles. One visitor I spoke with yesterday said, “It’s unbelievable, I brought in some old coins that had been in a little cigar box for years and some old herringbone necklaces—in less than fifteen minutes I left with a check for $700. That stuff has been in my jewelry box and dresser for at least 20 years.” Another gentleman brought in an old Fender guitar his fathar had bought years ago.

The man said, “Dad had less than fifty bucks in that guitar.” The Roadshow expert that assisted him made a few phone calls and a veterinarian in Seattle, Washington bought the guitar for

“IT’S UNBELIEVABLE, I BROUGHT IN SOME OLD COINS THAT HAD BEEN IN A LITTLE CIGAR BOX FOR YEARS AND SOME OLD HERRINGBONE NECKLACES—IN LESS THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES I LEFT WITH A CHECK FOR $700.” $5,700.00. The seller continued, “I got another $150.00 for a broken necklace and an old class ring. It’s not ever y day that someone comes to town bringing six thousand dollars with your name on it.”

Gold and silver pour into yesterday’s Roadshow due to highest prices in 40 years. markets are soaring,” says Archie Davis, a Roadshow representative. “Broken jewelry and gold and silver coins add up very quickly. I just finished working with a gentleman that had an old class ring, two bracelets and a handful of silver dollars. His check was for over $650.00.

I would say that there were well over 100 people in here yesterday that sold their scrap gold.”

The Roadshow continues today starting at 9am. The event is free and no appointment is needed.

If you go to the Roadshow, you can cash-in your items for competitive prices. Roadshow representatives will be available to assess and purchase your items at the Travelodge West, this week through Saturday, in Ottawa.

Jeff Parsons, President of the Treasure Hunters Roadshow commented, “Lots of people have items that they know are valuable but just don’t know where to sell them. Old toys, trains, swords,guitars, pocket watches or just about anything old is valuable to collectors. These collectors are willing to pay big money for those items that they are looking for.”

This week’s Roadshow is the best place to get connected with those collectors. The process is free and anyone can bring items down to the event. If the Roadshow experts find items that their collectors are interested in, offers will be made to purchase them. About 80% of the guests that attend the show end up selling one or more items at the event.

Antiques and collectibles are not the only items the Roadshow is buying. “Gold and silver

ADHS student Cole Gordon has begun a co-op placement at the Chronicle-Guide. on experience in the marketing sector.

Hopefully over the next few months here I will be able to delve into my passion for business and acquire some experience for later on in life. Since I have always been more of an outdoors kind of guy, I am interested in seeing what life in an office is really like.

I have grown up in the country my whole life and love being outdoors and spending time with my friends (who I hope are not reading this right now).

Ever since I was a little kid I have loved camping, fishing, swimming and many other outdoor activities.

I hope you have all enjoyed learning a little bit about me and hopefully you will be able to read more of my articles in the future. Bye for now, Arnprior.

Hi Arnprior. My name is Cole Gordon and I will be working here at the Chronicle-Guide as a co-op student. I will be doing so from now until June 17.

This will be the first time I am writing an article for the Chronicle-Guide, so work with me a little and try to follow along. I am currently a Grade 11 student at Arnprior District High School and have a passion for business, marketing specifically. I have been given this unique opportunity to work in partnership with the staff here at the Chronicle-Guide. I look forward to this opportunity because it will allow me to expand my knowledge on things that just cannot be taught in a classroom.

I think it will be an eye-opening experience and I look forward to every minute of it. I can already tell I’ll be kept on my toes here, seeing that it is only my first day and I am already under the pressure of writing an article for our whole town to see. After high school I plan on pursuing a career in marketing. I have been fascinated with marketing ever since taking my first business course at the high school. It is really nice to finally have the opportunity to get some hands-

government announcement it will not proceed with planned offshore wind projects until more research is done.

The OFAH has long called for more research to be conducted prior to moving ahead with any offshore wind turbine development.

A major OFAH concern is the potential impact

on fish and wildlife, including migratory waterfowl such as ducks and geese, and fish, such as salmon, pickerel and perch. The organization and other groups are also concerned about potential waterbird mortality from collision with the blades, disrupted migratory movements and displacement from traditional foraging areas.

In what Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski is calling a “stunning backtrack,” the provincial gover nment announced last week that it is abandoning plans for off-shore wind farm projects.

This is the latest admission by the McGuinty government that their expensive energy experiments have completely failed, maintained Yakabuski.

“This is Dalton McGuinty’s latest backtrack on his failed expensive energy experiments,” he said. “These experiments are doing nothing but driving up hydro bills for Ontario families and seniors, and now even Dalton McGuinty recognizes it.”

Last April the Liberals unanimously voted against an Ontario PC motion that called for a moratorium on wind farm projects until an independent, comprehensive study of the health and environmental impacts could be completed.

“We called on the McGuinty government to hold off so these decisions could be based on actual science,” said Yakabuski.

“While we’re pleased he’s listening to us now, his backtrack today is based purely on political science. This is the latest example of McGuinty Liberal election-year desperation.”

M e a n wh i l e, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) is pleased by the

The provincial government has cancelled a scheduled increase in the Ontario minimum wage.

The wage, which was supposed to go up to $10.50 this month, will remain at $10.25 after seven years of steady increases.

The decision has sparked the ire of unions and poverty groups, who note the cost-of-living continues to rise.
