JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com The two men running for mayor of Renfrew sparred over the state of the town's finances during an allcandidates meeting Oct. 10.

At the forum hosted by the Renfrew University Women's Club at the Renfrew Recreation Centre, Mayor Don Eady maintained the "town is finally in good shape" financially thanks to the current council, while challenger Callum Scott argued the council has allowed the town's debt to spiral out of control.

Scott criticized several council decisions including the firing of fire chief Guy Longtin, which he said threatens to cost Renfrew taxpayers dearly.

He promised, if elected, to sit down with Longtin and work out a See CANDIDATES, page 3

CANDIDATES DEBATE ROADS, DEVELOPMENT Continued from page 1

"fair and amicable agreement" satisfactory for all taxpayers. A deal would save the town from a lawsuit that could cost it up to $3 million in damages and legal fees, he added.

After the meeting, he spoke briefly with Longtin, who was in the audience, suggesting that getting his job back could be part of the negotiations.

Eady didn't mention the issue at the forum, but has said the dismissal was a difficult decision council made based on facts.

Regarding finances, Eady shared figures showing the town's debt as a "reasonable" $10.4 million on a fixed interest rate, of which $8.1 million is owed on the state-of-the-art sewer plant and about $600,000 for solar panels that are paying for themselves.

Scott disputed the figures, charging that the town's debt has ballooned to between $20 million and $40 million. He said if elected he would call for a forensic audit of the town's

books and "lead the charge to pay off the debt."

Eady said the new council has, as he promised in 2014, gone through the town budget line-by-line to come up with savings. The average tax rate increase over the past four years has been less than one per cent despite considerable infrastructure work, he said.

A 10-year capital spending plan will allow the town to get "the best possible deals," he added.

Scott maintained that the town's debt will only get worse if Eady follows through on his promise to continue funding infrastructure projects. He said there is too much waste, charging that a mound of asphalt had been dumped in a field instead of filling potholes in town. "Where's the leadership. Nobody is minding the store," Scott said.

He also charged that the town's water rates are "out of control" and "out of whack."

He said a user experimented by saving water one month and "letting it flow like Niagara Falls" the next pay period only to have exactly the same

water bill amount.

Eady said council should continue to research all aspects of an indoor pool to see if it's possible to build without raising taxes.

Scott is strongly opposed to considering an indoor pool and second ice pad, saying the town can't afford them.

In contrasting himself with his challenger, Eady said he has considerable experience as a councillor and mayor with Horton and Renfrew and has built up many contacts and much good will.

A good mayor must be able to keep council "working as a team," he said, noting the current council has been able to accomplish a great deal because there hasn't been infighting.

Eady said he has he has a good rapport with the area's MP and MPP, as well as with new premier Doug Ford ("he wants to come back to Renfrew"). It's also important for a mayor to attend community events, which he does to show appreciation and encourage volunteerism, Eady said.

Scott claimed town hall too

DR.ART DICK – ROTARIAN

This is indeed sad news. For all of my 35 years in Rotary, Art was mentor and friend who embodied the true spirit of selfless ‘Service above Self.’ In many ways, Art was Renfrew Rotary. Especially in the 1980’s and 1990’s he was active in showing the way for Rotary and led the club to broaden its horizons internationally. He was a leader in the PolioPlus fundraiser and other worldwide causes. At a time when the Club members tended to view that local needs came first and a wider world second, he continued to make sure that we also include all.

often ignores or dismisses residents' queries, saying he has presented 850 questions but "none has been answered."

In response to a resident's question, Eady said he prefers written questions so he can pass them on to the appropriate department heads to be answered. Scott said he prefers "face-to-face" communication.

Scott said council keeps too many facts secret from ratepayers, such as the disclosure agreement with Longtin and how much money the bluegrass festival brought in to town coffers.

Eady urged everyone to do what they could to make health care and the "very serious shortage" of doctors a major issue for all levels of politicians. As for his own circumstance, Eady, who has had health scares in the past, told the audience that he took a series of tests before deciding to run again and found he is in "excellent health."

Scott said he could easily stay home and relax with his "wife, dog and squirrel," but he couldn't sit back and watch his town sink further into debt. If need be, "I'll be back in four years," he told the crowd.

MacGregor Memorial Fund for Hope and Love

Locally, he championed fundraising for the hospital, the Manor and Hospice and endless other community and worldwide needs.

A multi-Paul Harris Fellow, his serving others was more important for him to give and not receive to the extent that he qualified for additional Paul Harris Fellowships and he never even applied for any of these. The ones he received were recognitions by Club members of his outstanding contributions. Paul Harris Fellowships are the highest honour a Club can bestow for outstanding Rotary and community service.

One of Art’s greatest contributions to the Renfrew area was his total involvement in the Rotary International Student Exchange Program in which thousands of students worldwide get to spend a year living in other cultures. It sent dozens of Renfrew & Area students to many diverse countries such as Japan, South America and Europe. Exchange Students from afar lived in our area, stayed with local families, attended our schools and interacted with multiple people here. Starting in 1981 when our Rotary District joined this project, Art was a driving force in this District Project. It has touched many people locally and broadened our understanding of new and ancient cultures. Art, wife Joan and family hosted many of these students themselves over the years.

A family man, a community leader, a caring person, a doctor, a mentor and a friend to all. God bless his soul.

He did so much good.

Adam MacGregor had his final ride on August 23rd, 2018. He was taken too early when his motorcycle was hit by a transport on Highway 17. Adam was a beloved husband of Stefanie MacGregor (Jessica's step sister), a loving father of his two beautiful girls Lennon and Ruby, and had unconditional love for their baby boy on the way due December 2018.

Time passes but not a day goes by that Adam isn't here in our hearts. The day he died wasn't just a date on a calendar. It was the day Stefanie, Lennon and Ruby's lives changed forever. Goodbyes hurt the most when the story wasn't finished and death leaves a heartache no one can heal.

The Loft Salon is hosting the MacGregor Memorial Fund for Hope and Love, and all proceeds go towards Stefanie MacGregor for the priorities of her family's future needs.

Special guests Leslie-Anne Barrett from Beauty Bartender, Suzanne Husseini from Celebrity Chef Canada, along with many more familiar faces. Up to $500.00 dollar gift baskets with prizes from Mezzanotte Bistro Italiano, Pure Yoga Ottawa, Lululemon, the Ottawa Senators and many more.

Come and help us make a difference. We hope to see everyone there on Sunday, October 28th.

Thank you for your support.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION

RENFREW COUNCIL CANDIDATES WOO ELECTORATE JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Renfrew has distinct choices when it comes to candidates as evident by the contrasting priorities expressed by the nine vying for five councillor seats at an all-candidates forum Oct. 10.

Close to 150 people attended the session hosted

by the Renfrew University Women's Club at the Renfrew Recreation Centre.

While candidates' speeches ate up a significant amount of time, the candidates did get a chance to respond to five questions from the audience about infrastructure/roads, communication, compensation for main street merchants, cycling and

pot shops (subject of a separate story).

Mike Coulas, who chairs council's development and works committee said he realizes there are many streets in town that have been neglected for a long time, but the current council has made a strong start in making up for what was lost in the last 20 years.

For a continued strong, fair and experienced voice for our community!

✗

Re-Elect Michael Quilty

COUNCILLOR

Admaston/Bromley Township

Sandi Heins said the public should be made to feel comfortable sharing concerns with municipal officials.

That input should be part of a road repair master plan, she added.

Tom Sidney said council has developed a plan to repair the town's aging infrastructure, but has to factor in both the condition of services above and below the surface into the priority list.

On the communication question, Jim Miller, noting "a lot of people don't know how to ask questions," said he could help them present their concerns to the right officials at town hall in order to get problems solved.

Adam Laviolette said town hall could better inform the community by live streaming every open council meeting. It will give the community a better chance to voice opinions, he said.

Voting day is just around the corner.

On October 22, you will have elected the Horton Council for the 2019 – 2022 term.

During the campaign, I have heard many concerns, and I do have a long list of issues that will be addressed with Council, if elected.

My platform is clear! We will do more with less! Taxes MUST be held at a 0% increase. A savings must be found within our existing budget.

This is 100% achievable.

Under the right guidance, Council will be much wiser if our residents and Committee members are given the opportunity to ask Council to consider every option.

Thank you for all the positive responses I received from you, when I met you at your door, on the street or at an event. ALL areas of Horton Township are important to me, and I will guarantee I will not disappoint you, when any issues that are a concern to you arise.

Laviolette also urged more transparency at town hall and suggested a simplified breakdown of the town's budget and auditor's report so residents "can be fully aware of how their tax dollars are being spent without hiring an accountant to translate."

Kate Windle said she supports live streaming of council meetings and welcomes public inquiries.

Andrew Evans said he welcomes input in the form of emails or visits by people to his downtown office.

As for providing more help for downtown businesses affected by the main street reconstruction, both Evans and Windle suggested they would gain in the long run from more visitors and increased property values.

Coulas said downtown businesses and local motorists deserve a "pat on the back" for putting up with the road construc-

tion, which will move to other streets next year.

Laviolette suggested doing away with the hours bylaw to allow Renfrew businesses to decide for themselves when they open and close.

As for cycling, Windle said the town and county are making important strides in opening new trails and pathways to promote active living.

Some of the other candidate comments included: Laviolette said council should examine the tax rates and review some of the bylaws and zoning hindering job creation and job growth.

Clint McWhirter said the only way to keep a lid on taxes and water rates is to attract more businesses to town to share the load.

Arlene Jamieson said she would continue to work on attracting new development and dollars to Renfrew using the recently finalized business expansion and retention report recommendations.

CRIME

The Renfrew OPP investigated the following incidents last week.

Thefts A boat trailer was stolen from a storage yard on Summerside Lane in McNab/Braeside Township Oct. 10. The boat trailer, a 2010 Hoosier (Pontoon Trailer) was black and had Ontario Licence F1507W. It was stolen between Sept. 27 and Oct. 10. PC Kayla Couture is investigating.

Mischief Police are investigating after a candidate running in Whitewater Region Township reported someone attempted to remove election signs on Fletcher Road. It is a criminal offence to damage or remove election signs and can lead to charges of mischief and theft under the Criminal Code. The male suspect in this case was in a silver Honda Civic. The investigation continues.

The victim lost approximately $2800 in this scam before the real Arnprior OPP officers were advised and convinced the victim it was a scam. The police do not call and threaten your arrest if you have money owing to the CRA. If someone calls you claiming to be an OPP officer threatening to arrest you, hang up and call the OPP dispatch centre at 1-888-310-1122. Contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre to learn more about frauds and scams, and report all fraud attempts to them at Toll-free: 1-888-495-8501.

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, and while Canadians continue to fall victim to a number of online scams, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre remains dedicated to assisting in the prevention and fight against Cybercrime. This fraud bulletin was prepared to help Canadians recognize, reject and report these scams.

Stunt driving charge On Saturday, Oct. 13 at approx. 3:40 p.m., Provincial Constable (PC) Jason Golds was conducting a traffic stop on Calabogie Road with the emergency lights on his fully marked police cruiser. PC Golds observed a black 2017 Honda Civic in the northbound lane, adjacent to the police vehicle travelling northbound. The vehicle was travelling at a high rate of speed and failed to slow down and move to the left for the stopped emergency vehicle with emergency lights flashing. The suspect vehicle was stopped a short distance away after radar confirmed the vehicle was travelling in excess of 50 km/hr above the posted speed limit. The driver was identified as Daniel Cinq-Mars, 22, of Ottawa. He was issued two summonses to appear in court in Renfrew on November 16 for the offences of stunt driving and

Fraud The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) scam continues in our area and the scammers have added a new twist to it. The deceptive caller claims to be a police officer, in this case from the Arnprior OPP. The call display showed the correct phone number for the Arnprior OPP 613-623-3131 which is possible due to a computer program that copies local numbers. The scammer threatened to arrest the victim unless they purchased Google play cards and iTunes gift cards. The victim was instructed that they had to keep the suspect on the phone the whole time, that if they hung up or advised anyone who or why they were buying the gift cards, then the police would immediately be dispatched to arrest them.

Make the call—see if you qualify for free energy-saving products

With the major heating season just a few months away, Renfrew Hydro has been talking to its customers about the Affordability Fund and encouraging them to see if they qualify for free energy-saving products to help cut electricity costs and make homes or apartments more comfortable. Customers who use electric heat, in particular, should take advantage of this program as they may qualify for Level 3 with up to $15,000 in funding to make their homes less reliant on electricity for heating.

In recent weeks, there has been confusion about what programs are still available following the Ontario Government’s announcement to scrap green energy programs funded by the Cap and Trade program.

In fact, the Affordability Fund Trust (administered by Renfrew Hydro)–continues to offer free energy-saving products. It has not been affected by recent changes in government funding for energy efficiency initiatives.

Renfrew Hydro’s goal is to help you unravel the misconceptions and encourage you to take the next step: find out if you are eligible! Already, Renfrew Hydro has helped 75 customers take advantage of free products through the Affordability Fund. This has included air to air heat pumps, energy efficient appliances, and smaller energysaving initiatives such as free LED bulbs.

Free Energy-

Saving Products and Installation

I thought the Ontario Government scrapped programs to help citizens make their homes and apartments more energy efficient.

The Affordability Fund continues to provide eligible hydro customers free energy-saving: • appliances • LED bulbs • electronic thermostats • insulation • replacement of electric baseboard heaters with air-to-air heat pumps • replacement of electric heating with gas appliances (in some cases) The Affordability Fund Trust is funded by the Government of Ontario.

Renfrew Hydro is administering the program locally.

Start the process: call 1.855.494.3863 or email info@AffordAbilityFund.org You’ll get a call from the Affordability Fund and will be asked about net household income and your average electricity bill. If approved, Renfrew Hydro does the rest.

Rebates Available for Energy-Saving Products and Installation

I thought the Affordability Fund was a scam because it seemed to be too good to be true.

When in doubt, customers are encouraged to get in touch with Renfrew Hydro at 613.432.4884 or by email at info@renfrewhydro.com to talk about concerns and verify the authenticity of programs.

When the Affordability Fund was announced, Renfrew Hydro applied for and received $500,000+ in funding to help its customers. The funding is in place, but you have to take the first step and find out if you are eligible by contacting the Affordability Fund Trust.

I wasn’t eligible for other hydro assistance programs based on my income so I didn’t think the Affordability Fund applied to me.

Eligible customers can qualify for up to $15,000 in products and installation.

Here is an example. If your total household income is $45,334 after tax and your annual hydro bill is $2,000, you would be classified as a Level 2 beneficiary and be eligible for up to $4,500 in energy-efficient upgrades, most notably energy-efficient household appliances.

If you have not applied for assistance from the Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP) or the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP), you can apply to the Affordability Fund.

The Affordability Fund is not a low income assistance program. It is a program designed to help medium income households reduce the electricity burden.

If you have qualified already for LEAP, OESP, or the Home Assistance Program (HAP), you can’t qualify for the Affordability Fund.

If you don’t qualify, perhaps family and friends will.

Please let them know about this program.

GreenON Rebate Program

I am already cutting corners to save electricity on my own. How is the Affordability Fund going to make a difference to me and my bill?

The Affordability Fund was set up to help energyconscious citizens ease what they spend on electricity.

The Affordability Fund recognizes that the cost of electricity has created a growing burden on hydro customers. Even though most customers’ hydro bills have been reduced through short term government initiatives in 2017, some customers’ hydro bills are still a burden and a concern and expected to increase in the future.

I don’t own my home or apartment so I didn’t think I was eligible to apply to the Affordability Fund.

Start the process:

If your name is on your hydro bill, you are eligible to apply. It doesn’t matter if you rent or own or live in a house or an apartment.

More information: call Renfrew Hydro at 613.432.4884

Problems with roads and cell service caused the biggest stir when six candidates vying for four seats on Admaston/Bromley council addressed about 40 voters at an all-candidates forum Oct. 15.

The session held at St. Michael's school in Douglas was hosted by the Balsam Hill-Horton Women's Insitute and the Admaston/Bromley Library Board. Also speaking were the two trustee hopefuls, Bob Michaud and Pat O'Grady, for the area's Renfrew County Catholic School Board seat.

After introductory speeches, the public provided questions for the council candidates on the following issues: Roads upkeep: Corrine Bruce asked why Admaston's roads are much better than Bromley's. Bruce said Dillabough Road is the "most disgusting road in the township" and Preston Cull added Rice Line and Pine Valley to the list.

Robert Dick said he doesn't see much difference in road conditions throughout the merged township.

Road work is based on a ranking of all roads in the township's asset management plan, he explained.

Bob Hall maintained Ferguslea Road in the south end is in just as bad shape as Dillabough, having "more patchwork than pavement."

Angela Field said the township's roads are much smoother than the ones she grew up using in the Sudbury area. She said roads with a lot of heavy farm equipment traffic tend to be in the worst shape.

Mike Quilty said a new study will likely change the rankings. He suggested the township may turn some roads back to gravel if it makes them cheaper to maintain.

Cell service (or lack of it): In response to a concern that "terrible" cell service in the township is hindering emergency response and economic development, Kevin Legris suggested residents support small local companies such as Ottawa Valley Internet.

Field said as the service is a necessity, council should speak up with "strong wording" and a "loud voice."

Hall said council should lobby for extension of cell, Internet, natural gas and three-phase power service to the township to help pro-

mote economic development.

Jamieson Dyer said the township is "between a rock and a hard place" as it doesn't have the population to make better service feasible and the township doesn't have the money to enhance it.

State of the Douglas beach: In response to Pat O'Neil's suggestion the Douglas beach be upgraded into a summer attraction, Quilty said the township might be able to get funding for a summer student to clean up the beach.

Field said it should be a community effort along the lines of what Whitewater did to revitalize the beach in Beachburg.

Dick pointed out the Douglas Lions Club tried several times to improve the beach, but has been discouraged by vandalism Watershed protection: The candidates agreed that a conservation authority would be too expensive and restrictive for the township.

Hall suggested the Muskrat Watershed Committee has the right idea with its monitoring of the Snake River and partnership with Algonquin College.

Legris agreed that the township wouldn't have to "re-invent the wheel," as it could partner with the committee.

Funding for the township library: All the candidates voiced support for continuing municipal funding for the "wonderful facility," but said that additional money to allow it to stay open longer would depend on budget priorities.

Dyer suggested the library look to community partnerships to generate use and funds.

Trustee questions: Michaud and O'Grady were asked about busing and the sex-ed curriculum.

Michaud said that while it might appear busing is inefficient, the staggered bells system is saving money. The board doesn't want students on the buses any longer than they are now, he added.

O'Grady suggested that smaller buses be used on some routes.

He said the sex-ed curriculum had been implemented too early (grade 3-4 material is more appropriate for grades 6-7). "Let kids be kids as long as we can."

Michaud said that the issue is a "bit easier for our system," as the curriculum has been vetted by the Catholic bishops.

OPINION EDITORIAL

HELP BREAK THE SILENCE Every child has a right to safety and well-being.

October is Child Abuse Prevention Month and it's a perfect time to underscore the responsibility of the community to keep children safe and for the public to understand their duty to protect kids.

Family and Children's Services of Renfrew County (FCSRC) and local organizations, businesses and individuals are joining communities across Ontario to support the cause with the purple ribbon campaign.

"The Purple Ribbon Campaign is truly a community initiative led by caring citizens and organizations who want to help families and support healthy growth and development of all of our children and youth," says Arijana Haramincic, executive director of FCSRC. "We want our community to know that when you share a concern for a child or youth, we might be firm on safety, but we are hugely caring."

The agency's website says its priority is to support children living safely with their immediate family.

"The organization is focused on empowering families to provide their own solutions so children can stay safely in their own families. A big part of this is working closely with families to educate parents, strengthen their caregiver skills, support their personal growth and help them ensure their children's physical, emotional and mental needs can be met," says the website.

"Through programs including Parents Anonymous, Caring Dads, Jubilee Place and EarlyON Child and Family Centre in Pembroke, as well as referrals to many other community services, FCSRC helps to facilitate the supports families recognize they need."

Launch events in both Renfrew and Pembroke, as well as a number of events in several communities, have been well attended.

A call out to Renfrew County hockey teams to help #BreaktheSilence by sporting purple stick tape was wildly successful.

You can help by attending one of several local events or even just by wearing purple Oct. 24. Purple ribbon T-shirts can be purchased at any campaign event or online at www.oacas.org/dresspurpleday.

There are online classroom resources available to help teachers make the day a meaningful and engaging learning opportunity for students at www.oacas.org/ dresspurpleday.

Also, FCSRC, in partnership with Domino's Pizza, is hosting a contest to encourage schools to participate.

Participating classrooms are encouraged to take pictures and share at #DressPurpleRenfrewCounty, and if on Facebook to tag Family and Children's Services of Renfrew County. Those who participate will have a chance to win pizza for the entire class.

Upcoming events include:

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR MUNICIPAL CANDIDATES ABOUT PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT We are thrilled to have been asked to contribute a series of articles from the Freshwater Partners Renfrew County initiative. With the Ontario municipal council election being held on Oct. 22, we thought we'd share these thoughts.

We believe that our elected representatives should address issues of concern to citizens, such as: > actions needed to make our freshwaters safe to swim-drink-fish, > access to freshwater, and > the impacts of climate change.

If you attend debates or public events with local candidates, here are some important questions to ask: • Wetlands are still being filled and shorelines cleared along our rivers, creeks and lakes. This practice degrades our freshwater and discourages other property own-

ers from restoring and naturalizing their shorelines. What do you intend to do to better protect the natural infrastructure of our wetlands and shorelines?

• The love of outdoor water sports is huge in the Ottawa Valley. What is your plan for investment in infrastructure to improve recreational access to water in our municipality?

• Our climate is changing and there are widespread water quality, flooding and water management issues in Renfrew County but no single agency responsible for addressing these problems. Do you agree that this is a pressing issue for Renfrew County? How do you see addressing this governance challenge if you are elected?

• Canadian Nuclear Laboratories is proposing a permanent radioactive waste facility alongside the Ottawa River at Chalk River. Mayors of over 100 Quebec municipalities oppose this proposal, citing a serious risk to drinking water

from the Ottawa River. If elected, will you join them in opposing this dangerous nuclear waste dump?

Freshwater Partners Renfrew County is a new initiative supported by funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and administered by the Bonnechere River Watershed Project as a collaboration with Ottawa River Institute, Algonquin College, Muskrat Watershed Council, Renfrew County Water Quality Leadership Group, Ottawa Valley Tourist Association, Ottawa Riverkeeper, Sustainable Eastern Ontario and Watersheds Canada. It aims to bring multiple organizations, stakeholders and community members together to achieve greater collective impact on freshwater issues, stewardship and watershed planning in the county.

MICHAEL RUNTZ WRITES ABOUT FALL COLOURS AND CREATURES MICHAEL RUNTZ The annual visual extravaganza known as the Fall Colours is now nearing its peak here. Farther north and west, the impressive elevation that holds Algonquin Park closer to heaven (giving its western peaks some of the highest elevations in Ontario) persuades the Fall Colours to be more dramatic and peak one to two weeks earlier than those on display here now.

The annual appearance of colour is as fascinating as it is dramatic. Most of the autumn colour was present in the leaves all summer, hidden by a veil of green. The green is due to chlorophyll, the driver of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll reacts under the power of sunlight, and through an ensuing chain of reactions involving carbon dioxide and water, glucose - the fuel of plant growth - is produced.

By the end of summer, the plants' sugar factories begin slowing down production. Retaining leaves in winter would not be a good thing for decidu-

ous trees, for with the leaves' large surface area, desiccation and/or freezing of internal water would be inevitable. Also, leaves would hold snow, adding weight to branches that could break under the load. With much smaller leaves (needles) covered in a thick cuticle, and, at least for spruce and fir, a snow-shedding shape, coniferous trees are better designed for leaf retention in winter.

Thus, deciduous trees lose their leaves before winter descends on the land. But before they shed them, trees extract as many nutrients as they can from the leaves. When chlorophyll starts breaking down, underlying pigments involved in the photosynthetic process (predominantly carotenoids) become visible. Those pigments provide the brilliant yellow and orange hues that we enjoy in autumn. Red is different: It is due to the presence of anthocyanin, a pigment produced at summer's end. All of the nowvisible pigments help protect the leaves from solar damage as the components of chlorophyll

are removed from them. In other words, those pigments act as sunscreens that prolong the life of leaves!

If you examine yellow leaves such as those of poplars in autumn, you'll notice "islands" of green that haven't turned colour, indicating that chlorophyll is still present. If you look more closely, at one end of the green island will be a small translucent area. Inside that semi-clear area resides a tiny caterpillar, one that is responsible for the leaf's retention of its green chlorophyll.

The caterpillar is a leaf miner, named for the way it lives inside leaves, eating chlorophyll from between their membranes. Leaf miners release cytokinin (a plant growth hormone) that prevents parts of a

The caterpillar continues to dine on green even after the leaf falls to the ground. Here, it will pupate and, next spring, emerge as a tiny moth.

As if the "green island" story was not remarkable enough, it has been discovered that the cytokinin is actually produced by symbiotic bacteria living inside the gut of the leaf-miner caterpillar.

CANNABIS AND YOU

ENFORCEMENT QUESTIONS ABOUND AT RENFREW CANNABIS MEETING JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com At a forum hosted in Renfrew by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, local officials expressed the fear the legalization of recreational pot use Oct. 17 will put new pressures on emergency responders.

The problem will be made worse because of uncertainty regarding the rules surrounding marijuana use, those at the meeting said.

"While Trudeau may be buzzed about the idea, first responders including fire, as well as municipal officials, are concerned we are not ready," said Gallant.

Madawaska Valley fire chief Corwin Quade had two concerns: that the number of extrications, especially in the rural areas, will increase because of toking and driving, and the number of volunteer firefighters available will drop if some can't attend because they've been using pot.

Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards fire chief Bob Gareau agreed that fire departments should expect more calls "because of cannabis impairment."

Eganville-area businessperson and council candidate Tim Schison expressed concern about pot becoming more accessible to youth. Noting that gunowners have to lock up their

firearms to keep them from children, "I'd like to see heavy fines if you allow it to get into hands of minors."

With marijuana to be bought online until the retail outlet system launches in April, Laurentian Valley Coun. Brian Hugli asked how it is being ensured pot delivered by Canada Post "won't be sidetracked along the way."

"They won't be leaving it in the mailbox," said Renfrew OPP Community Services Office Janice Sawbridge. "An adult will have to sign for it."

Renfrew OPP Insp. Colin Slight agreed legalization is a "complex issue," but noted police forces are consulting with each other on how best

to handle it and are committed to enforcing both federal and provincial laws.

He said the OPP has formed a working group to develop communication and training strategies to deal with the change and educate 4,000 officers on the new laws. The plan is to train 75 drug recognition experts annually for the next five years.

If it's decided police need to take blood or urine samples instead of a simple mouth swab to test level of driver drug impairment, it will particularly problematic and expensive for rural detachments and ratepayers, local officials say.

In response to a question

by Schison about what level

of impairment is acceptable, Sawbridge said it is yet to be settled, so for now it's based on an officer's perception, not a number. "If you're obviously impaired, you'll be arrested."

Driving while high "is no different than alcohol," Slight stressed, noting officers are trained to do a battery of tests to judge driver performance. There will be a zero tolerance for young drivers, he added.

Some laws are clear, Slight said, such as a user has to be 19 or older, adults can possess up to 30 grams or equivalent of cannabis and can grow up to four plants on their property for personal use. People can make their own cannabis

fects of marijuana, impaired driving and the new laws.

Regarding enforcement, "we're definitely learning as we go along," said East Region OPP Detective Sgt. Chad Culbert.

He said the OPP is committed to providing thorough background checks to anyone who commercially grows or sells marijuana.

"We're focusing on public safety," he said.

When asked by Gallant if the legalization is taking cannabis out of the hands of organized crime, Culbert said criminals will still be involved as they are in every aspect of society. Even though tobacco is legal, there is a black market in cigarettes, he noted.

"The federal government is sending mixed signals affecting possession, usage, youth protection and crime by legalizing marijuana," said Gallant.

they want to defeat organized crime by being competitive with price and quality and access to marijuana, but are silent on health warnings with no restrictions on marketing and advertising.

"The way tobacco is regulated in Canada should be a starting point on how to regulate the sale of cannabis," said Gallant. "Legalizing marijuana contravenes three UN conventions on narcotics to which Canada is a signatory."

Ontario has indicated it will allow pot to be smoked everywhere it is legal to smoke tobacco.

COST, CONFUSION AMONG POT FEARS EXPRESSED AT RENFREW MEETING JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Municipal officials are worried that local taxpayers and businesses will bear the burden of extra costs incurred when pot becomes legal Wednesday, Oct. 17.

A lack of direction and mixed signals from the upper levels of government have municipal officials struggling with how to implement the change. That was apparent at a forum hosted recently in Renfrew by Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant to hear concerns of local business, political, police, fire and municipal staff representatives from her riding. The consensus was that the legalization of marijuana will impose extra responsibilities and costs on local government, emergency responders, employers and landlords.

McNab/Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett noted that legal pot will likely lead to more calls for police officers, firefighters and paramedics as well as new pressures on the health care system, all of which will bring added costs to municipalities.

"Municipalities are concerned about the additional costs," agreed Gallant. "It was felt the federal government, not local ratepayers, should bear those costs such as regulation and enforcement."

THE ISSUE:LEGALIZATION OF POTLOCAL LOCAL IMPACT: OFFICIALS FEAR TAXPAYERS, BUSINESSES WILL BEAR BRUNT OF SAFETY, ENFORCEMENT COSTS

John Carter/Metroland Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant hosted the cannabis meeting and Renfrew council candidate Jim Miller arranged for the Masonic Lodge meeting area to be the location.

Several representatives expressed fears that the lack of preparation will lead to health, safety and enforcement problems, with municipalities taking the brunt of the blame when things go awry.

Renfrew planner Ivan Burton noted some municipalities are ordering studies of the social and economic development impact of having a cannabis outlet in town.

He wondered if the federal and

provincial governments will issue guidelines restricting locations, whether towns can prevent sales in certain commercial areas, and could owners grow four pot plants in vacant buildings.

The provincial government has answered another of his questions, announcing there will be a 15-day period for the public and municipal government to comment before a company is granted

a licence. for a proposed location.

It was disclosed that Arnprior council is leaning toward allowing a cannabis outlet in town, while in Renfrew a majority of downtown businesses polled are against a pot store on main street.

Municipalities have until Jan.

22 to opt out of allowing outlets within their boundaries when the retail store system is launched by April 1, 2019 (the Conservative government has decided against going ahead with the previous regime's plan to sell pot at LCBO stores in favour of a private outlet system). Prior to that pot will be sold only online in the province through the Ontario Cannabis Store (https://ocslearn.ca if you are 19 or older).

Arnprior Coun. Dan Lynch said council feels a cannabis outlet could help attract people who would then visit other stores in town (the rumoured location in Arnprior is the former Play It See - page 13

Renfrew BIA chair Lisa Vincent reported her members are worried several pot outlets will be allowed to locate in the downtown core. Sixty per cent of members are against having an outlet downtown, she said.

"Renfrew has done a fantastic job revitalizing the downtown core," noted Gallant. "Uncertainty about what will happen next is bad for business. Just because something is being made legal, does not make it safe or a good idea."

Horton Mayor Bob Kingsbury raised two concerns: that municipal bylaw officers shouldn't be saddled with enforcement because they are not qualified or trained to do that type of police work; and municipalities should be alerted before medical marijuana farms licensed by Health Canada are allowed to crop up unannounced in their areas.

"There's not been a lot of social issues thought through before this was rolled out," said Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards CAO Lorna Hudder. "We're already having problems."

She said it is frustrating not knowing who is responsible for what when if comes to cannabis use. "We could use some clarity," she said, noting that municipalities don't know how far they can go in restricting everyone from heavy equipment operators to teenagers from using pot. "It's very worrisome."

"I feel sorry for our department heads," said Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards Coun. Stanley Pecoskie, questioning how snowplow operators could be tested if called in suddenly to deal with a surprise storm.

Vincent said that business owners are also concerned about uncertainty over rights of employers and employees regarding pot use. "Employers need more clarity," agreed Gallant.

Eganville area businessman and council candidate Tim Schison said the uncertainty leaves industry such as sawmills "very concerned about workplace safety." They feel their "hands are tied" when it comes to disciplinary action, he explained.

Renfrew OPP Insp. Colin Slight said there is a variety of workplace safety legislation that allows employers to determine the threshold of use that is acceptable in their own businesses. "Employers have the right to send someone home if they can't do their job properly," he said.

Some companies have already told employees not to indulge in pot within eight hours of their shift, noted Renfrew OPP Community Services Officer Janice Sawbridge.

Renfrew council candidate Jim Miller said that companies need a clear marijuana use policy to avoid being accused of picking on certain employees.

Miller also raised a concern about second-hand smoke, suggesting it was a much greater problem now with pot's

average THC content 31 per cent compared to 6 per cent in 1960.

Gallant thanked the attendees for their contributions and Miller for arranging the session at the Renfrew Masonic Lodge meeting room.

She told the group her office is receiving many calls on the issue. One involved a Christmas dinner in which one of the gifts was a plate of brownies.

Three of the people at the dinner became violently ill and it was determined the brownies had been injected with pot.

The maker of the brownies thought that as it was medical marijuana it would be OK, said Gallant. She noted that one of the dinner-goers had taken a brownie home for her young son, but

One of the first major decisions facing the new Renfrew council when it takes over Dec. 1 is whether to allow marijuana shops to set up in town.

Municipal councils have until Jan. 22 to decide whether to opt out of allowing pot shops in their communities (it doesn't stop them from opting in on a later date).

So it was no surprise that one of the questions at the Renfrew all-candidates forum hosted by the University Women's Club was whether candidates would be in favour of allowing cannabis outlets in Renfrew. And it was no surprise that reaction was mixed, as were the feelings of several speakers.

However, mayoral candidate Cal Scott didn't equivocate, saying he didn't want pot sold in storefronts downtown "where kids could see it." If it's going to be sold locally it should be on the outskirts, or "let Horton or Admaston have it," he said later.

What people do in their own homes is up to them, "but I can't believe the government would stoop so low

as to sell cannabis," he told the crowd.

In response to a woman in the audience who shouted out that alcohol is sold in town and its impact is worse, Scott said, "and you want to add marijuana on top of it?"

Mayor Don Eady agreed council would have to make a decision, but said he is "disturbed" about all the uncertainty surrounding the issue.

Municipalities have received "no real information" from the province to help them make the decision, he said.

"I hope this will be looked after down the road."

There are still licensing and enforcement questions to be answered, he said. He maintained it would be inadequate if the health unit is to be the enforcement agency, as it has only two enforcement officers in Renfrew County.

Eady said he is confident that council will eventually have enough information to come up with a workable bylaw to deal with the issue.

Councillor candidate Adam Laviolette said that with pot joining alcohol as a legal product, council shouldn't discriminate. "If it brings jobs to town, I'm all for it," he

said.

Coun. Arlene Jamieson, who said she has "mixed feelings," pointed out that medical marijuana can help cancer patients struggling with nausea. Council should look at some sort of controls, she said.

Coun. Tom Sidney said that if council does decide to regulate pot sales it needs to do its "due diligence" and be realistic on what it can and can't control.

Councillor candidate Jim Miller noted he helped Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant host a meeting recently in Renfrew to get ideas on how to deal with the issue. One aspect to consider is that having a dispensary in Renfrew would mean people here don't have to drive to another town to buy marijuana, he said (he recalled as a teenager in Carp, people drove to Arnprior for their alcohol, increasing the threat of impaired driving).

Coun. Kate Windle said getting clarity over whether municipalities with pot outlets would get a share of the taxes for infrastructure projects would help council make a decision.

Councillor candidate Clint McWhirter expressed surprise council isn't more prepared for the Oct. 17 legalization of pot, as it's been common knowledge for more than a year. Many municipalities already have bylaws, he said, adding, "council should have been more proactive and had legislation in place by now."

Acting after legalization has taken place is "like closing the gate after the horse is gone," he added.

Re-acclaimed Reeve Peter Emon defended council's caution, noting that originally pot was going to be sold at LCBO stores. The new provincial government announced in midsummer that Ontario is switching to a private retail system and council has been waiting for more details since, he said.

Emon said he feels it should be more a health board responsibility than council's, but "hopefully it will all get straightened out by the end of the year."

The other candidates at the forum choose not to comment on the question (candidates were given the choice on whether to respond to a question or not).

RENFREW AREA DOG FITNESS EXPERTS TO COMPETE IN WORLD CUP JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Mary Spurrell's business is going to the dogs, and she couldn't be happier.

Spurrell, who with her husband Todd owns Avalon Ranch in Horton just outside Renfrew, has been promoting dog fitness for the past nine years.

They teach five different canine sports at their Lochwinnoch Road training facility.

This year they are taking part in the Dryland World Cup Dog Race just across the border in Bristol, Que. Hosted by Timberland Tours Oct. 26-28, the prestigious event will feature more than 300 teams from all over the world racing on a sandy track.

Racers and their dogs will

compete in scooter, canicross, bikejoring and four-, six- and eightdog rigs for a purse of more than $10,000.

The Spurrells have been involved on the race circuit for the past nine years volunteering, teaching and racing. They wanted to promote fitness programs to get pet owners and their dogs more active.

In that spirit they organized a special canine group called the Ottawa Valley Harness Dogs.

With more than 30 members they take dogs and their handlers out on weekly excursions at different locations in the Valley.

Sponsored by Phat Moose Cycles, Mary will be racing at the World Cup in the Bikejor class with her Belgian Malinois named Feral, while Todd will be

WOMEN IN BUSINESS!

BUSINESS

WHAT ARE THE KEYS TO SUCCEEDING AS A BUSINESSWOMAN? The appetite for risk, the love for a good challenge, the desire to succeed, the longing to be one's own boss, the appeal of a better balance between work and family life, and, most im-

portantly, the immense passion for one's job - these are the driving factors that are increasingly pushing women to enter the business world. Today, many women enjoy great success

and inspire others to follow in their footsteps. But how do you become an accomplished businesswoman?

Entrepreneurs normally have several essential qualities in common, start-

ing with an unfailing desire to succeed. Self-confidence and leadership are two other important characteristics to have to get ahead in the business world - an industry that is still largely male-dominated. And that's not all! To succeed, women must master the art of organization, sales and networking. But above all, they must dem-

onstrate a high level of creativity.

Furthermore, successful business-women aren't only conscious of their capabilities; they're also aware of their limitations.

In other words, they aren't afraid to delegate tasks that fall beyond their expertise to others. Being an entrepreneur means surrounding yourself with the

WAYS TO THANK A WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE Here are inspiring ideas to say thanks to an important woman in your life.

1. Treat her to a well-deserved break. You can't go wrong with offering a massage or a day at a spa.

2. Plan a special outing just for her. What would she prefer? A movie or live music? Museum or art gallery?

Dance or comedy show?

3. Drawing, painting, sewing or pottery: has she ever talked to you about her unsatisfied creative yearnings?

Now's the time to facilitate her dreams.

4. Give her a breath of fresh air. Skiing, climbing and hiking are great choices for spending quality time together.

5. Indulge her taste buds

by taking her out for dinner at her favourite restaurant.

You'll both find out what happiness tastes like.

6. Would she like a book about cooking, sports or travelling? Choose a subject that interests her.

7. Clothing, jewelry, shoes or a handbag: your fashion fanatic would love a new addition to her wardrobe.

NEW DENTAL CLINIC PLANNED ON FROATS STREET IN RENFREW SHERRY HAAIMA sherr y.haaima@metroland.com There will soon be a new addition to Renfrew's growing commercial district.

On Oct. 9, Renfrew council approved a site plan agreement with Drs. Vaughan and Chris Glover for a new, approximately 3,300square-foot dental office near the intersection of O'Brien Road and Froats Street.

The Glovers purchased the property from the town in a deal that closed Oct. 1, explained town planner Ivan Burton.

The Glovers are in the process of taking over the dental practice of Dr. George Rouble. The clinic is now located on Prince Avenue. The Glovers also have a dental centre in Arnprior.

The offer to purchase the .74-acre parcel of land on Froats Street was made in July.

The Glovers paid $120,000.

The property is zoned commercial, which permits the planned dental office, Burton explained.

"This application is submitted subsequent to a minor variance application that was submitted by Mr. Glover in order to reduce the water setback," he said. "Because of the proposed location of the building ... its proximity to the water course, the minimum

setback is 30 metres, they needed to get closer so that the building would fit on the property."

The request to reduce that to 20 metres was approved by the committee of adjustment in September.

"That application was supported by an environmental assessment conducted by professional engineers, who assessed the impacts by that reduced setback to the water course," said Burton. "They provided recommendations to mitigate the impacts and those will be included as part of the site plan agreement."

The property is located within the environmental protection designation of the official plan, explained Burton.

"There are different natural heritage features and a study has been conducted and mitigation features will be in place for the development," he said. "One mitigation measure to note, and that's one of the reasons we're here tonight to try to expedite the approval of the application and commence the development as soon as possible, is there is a particular type of bird (bobolink) that sort of nests or has habitat in this area and that limits the time of year that the property can be developed."

Between April 15 and July 30, no site alterations can occur, he noted.

"It's the intent of the application to try and get the foundation in now, get it enclosed and build through the winter so that he can open it in spring," said Burton.

Coun. Mike Coulas approved of the overall plan but did note his displeasure with the last-minute timing of the application - which was added to the agenda at about 5:30 p.m. the day of the meeting.

"I know we're pushing time to get this building started," said Coulas. "I've never been a big fan of things added to the agenda

in the eleventh hour or the lack of consideration of council members to be able to look at the whole plan here. I know that planning and those committees have studied this, as well as planner Burton, but it annoys me when we get a motion so quickly added to the agenda."

Several councillors voiced their support for the proposal.

"I think this is a good development," said Reeve Peter Emon. "It fits with our overall plan of that corridor."

The addition of the office is a good sign,

he added.

Planning committee member Tom Sidney said he is impressed with the plans he has seen.

"It's going to be a very unique building in that location," he said.

Dr. Vaughan Glover was at the meeting and spoke briefly.

"Thank you, it's been incredible to work with the town," he said. "I've never seen anything go this smoothly and l've done a fair amount of construction. I promise, this'll be first class."

Suddenly at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital in the early morning hours of Thursday, October 11th, 2018; Boyd Kenneth Hogan, a lifelong resident of Arnprior passed away at the age of 75. Dearly loved father of Lisa Desjardins (Cory) and Jason Hogan (Glenn), both of Arnprior. Cherished and proud “Grampa” of Cole, Hailey, Tanner and Noah. Beloved son of the late Kenneth and Gertie (nee Neumann) Hogan. Predeceased by his only sister, Thelma McHugh and 2 nieces: Jill Turpin and Brenda Lee James. Special uncle of Elaine Patrois (Jim). Also survived by many good friends. Boyd enjoyed life. He took over the family dairy herd at the age of 16 due to his father’s failing health. While cows were the family’s mainstay, horses also became a big part of the Hogan farm. Boyd later developed a keen interest in drag racing and later settled into his musical talents while enjoying regular band jams with “The Guys”.

MARY COOK RECALLS HOW SALES DRIED UP AFTER JUST 1 WEEK MARY COOK Column

There was no reason in the world, Mother thought, that she couldn't add a bit more cash to her egg money. Although it was all called "egg money," it could come from selling drawn chickens, butter or sticky buns, fresh vegetables when our garden was flourishing in the summer time, and of course, eggs.

But fall had settled in, and Mother was anxious to make up for the loss of vegetable sales when she went door to door every Satur-

day through the streets of Renfrew. And she knew just how she was going to do it too.

Aunt Bertha Thom on our next farm had showed Mother how to make homemade soap, and she could see no reason why she couldn't add these little bars to her peddling door to door. She was sure the housewives of Renfrew would be delighted. Of course, she had to perfect the soap-making first.

She was new at the job, and we five kids thought Mother needed a lot more practice before she could add homemade soap to her list.

We stayed well away from her when she was put-

ting everything together.

We saw her use Gillett's Lye, which took our breath away if we came within five feet of it, and my sister Audrey was sure she would see smoke coming out of the tin when Mother opened it. Water was boiled, and rendered fat got its way into the mix too.

Mother even bought a fresh lemon and added its juice as well.

As soon as we tried it with our Saturday night bath, we knew Mother had a lot to learn. For some reason, bits of the lye hadn't melted, and we kids ended up with scratches all over our bodies. We begged Mother to let us use the one and only bar of Ivory soap we had on the farm, and was supposed to be used for company. She said the next batch she would make would be vastly improved,

and the bar of Ivory was wrapped up and put away, and whether we liked it or not, we had to get used to the homemade lye soap!

Mother was sure the next batch would be better.

She said she learned that the water had to be at a rolling boil when poured onto the lye, and she said two lemons were better than one.

Father was sure Mother was losing money on the whole idea. Gillett's Lye wasn't cheap, and buying fresh lemons was a sheer luxury. But Mother said she was sure selling the little bars at 15 cents apiece would more than pay for the money she spent making the soap.

Well, that first Saturday, Mother's customers seemed delighted to have a bar of freshly made soap right off the farm, and it

then wrapped and put away for another week. And we were back to the big yellow bar with no name that came from Briscoe's General Store, and which sat in a saucer by the wash basin in the kitchen, used to wash up before we could put a crumb of food in our mouths. The homemade lye soap was never mentioned again.

MOTHER'S ATTEMPT AT PRODUCING HOMEMADE SOAP SHORT-LIVED

didn't take long to empty the basket she had packed the soap in. She was so excited, she went right over to Scott's Hardware and bought not one, but two tins of Gillett's Lye! Well, the next Saturday, soap sales slowed down to a crawl. Every customer who had bought the week before complained about the bits and pieces of unmelted lye which left scratch marks all over the user's body.

"We'll still buy your eggs, chickens and buns, but we'll pass on the homemade soap, if you don't mind," was what we heard at every house where we had sold the soap the week before.

Well, much to our relief, Mother gave up on the homemade lye soap. The bar of Ivory came out on Saturday night, sparingly used for our tub baths, and

The annual Reach For the Rainbow Radiothon in support of Sunshine Coach is happening Sunday, Oct. 21 from 1 to 5 p.m.

The event is broadcast live over Valley Heritage Radio 98.7 with perennial anchor host Art Jamieson on hand, ably assisted by Lesley Galbraith and Jason Marshall in the studio. Christa Pare will be handling the remote broadcasts on location at the Sunshine Coach offices and will be running three separate three-minutes blitzes every hour.

The Radiothon, presented by Friends of the Disabled (Renfrew) Inc., raises funds to ensure that Sunshine Coach continues to be viable and that fares remain affordable for everyone in our community living with disabilities that create transportation barriers in their lives. All of the money raised will stay within our community and will go directly to support the operations of Sunshine Coach.

The open house at the Valley Heritage Radio studios at 3009 Burnstown Rd. is free to all who wish to visit. The Cavanagh stage will feature the best in live, local entertainment throughout the event. Many of the entertainers have a long history of volunteering their time and talent in support of this Radiothon.

Mini-tours of three of the vehicles in the fleet will be available for anyone wishing to see how Sunshine Coach is equipped to handle all of the specialized transportation needs of our friends and neighbours who are living with disabilities.

Visitors are invited to bring along their spare change and weigh in with their contribution to the final total in the popular Kilos of Coins campaign.

The number to call during the event to make a pledge is 613-432-7299. Please help keep Sunshine Coach available to everyone in our community who depends on it every day.

Norm Dagg is the executive director of the Sunshine Coach service.

ANDY SKLEPOWICZ For avid curlers, the start of the season is like all the holidays wrapped into one day. We give thanks the season is finally starting and for all those who worked so hard to have the club ready, complete with

new roof and heaters; to those who got the ice ready; those who co-ordinated successful and ongoing registrations; to all the draw masters who have teams and schedules ready to go; and to all the volunteers who put in countless hours to provide for anoth-

er successful curling year.

You also get to open all your new presents, the curling equipment you can't wait to try, the new outfits that not only look good, but also provide that perfect fit and comfort; and you celebrate with past friends, meet new curlers

and share a story or three.

And it never is too long before the fireworks start, as competition heats up and great shots are celebrated, win or lose. You also face the scary moments of having the opposition lying six and all you have for your last shot is double takeout through a port so tight you're not sure if the shot is even there.

Eady Realty, Inc. Brokerage

29 Raglan Street South, Renfrew, ON K7V 1P8 Each office is independently owned and operated

And what a truly Canadian game, as it celebrates and embraces winter, not to mention helping us survive it while we have fun and keep fit - or in my case, get fit. It's also a game that Canada excels at in international competition. At the same time, it also embraces all the diverse components of our diverse population, including young

and old, of all abilities and fitness levels. And most importantly, it is played in a fun way, where sportsmanship is the overriding rule and socialization the most enjoyed result.

So, if you are still interested in curling this year or if you want to learn to curl and enjoy a winter full of fun, contact the club so that you don't miss out.
