RAMBLE CATCHES FIREThe Rural Ramble forged ahead in Arnprior Saturday with demonstra-tions from blacksmith Tony Walsh of Watson’s Corners outside the Arnprior and District Museum. Both the Arnprior and Waba museums were stops in the third of four Rural Ramble weekends. This weekend, with art and culture the theme, the stops include Kippen Road Tartan Weaving and Ballintotas Alpacas, both in McNab-Braeside.

The second annual Fall Brawl demolition derby smashes into town this weekend.
This year promises to be big-ger and better than last year, with an anticipated 80 cars participating and a guaranteed prize purse of $6,800.
Eight-, six-, and four-cylinder clunkers will crash their way through a track at the Arnprior
fair grounds starting at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1. Along with the noise, smoke and smell of burn-ing oil in the air – kids and adults will get to ride a monster truck, see engines blow up, all while munching on barbecued foods.
“It’s going to be redneck fun,” organizer Ed Carron said.
He added that it’s a stock strip and go derby, meaning no modi-fi ed cars will be allowed.

The unusual circumstances surrounding the recent death of an Arnprior man that sparked headlines across Canada has come to a quick conclusion.
There will be no charges against any member of the Woods family.
Following a lengthy homicide investigation by the OPP, the in-vestigators and members of the crown attorney’s offi ce deter-mined no charges will be laid in the death of Corey Blaskie.
During the early hours of Sunday, Sept. 11, Blaskie alleg-edly broke into Nathan Woods’
Edward Street home, tripping an alarm.
Blaskie, 41, was wearing “slash-proof police-style gloves,” according to statement released by Woods’ lawyers. While 911 was being called, Blaskie con-fronted the homeowners and a fi ght broke out.
“Fearing for their safety, the residents of the home defended themselves against a violent and unprovoked attack,” lawyers Michael Edelson and Solomon Friedman said.
“During this attack, the life of Nathan Woods was repeatedly at stake as he struggled with the intruder.”
Charges dropped

Continued from frontIt remains unclear who stabbed Blaskie,
but Woods’ wife and late-teenage son Jake were present. As Blaskie lay there, the family “immediately attempted” to pro-vide fi rst aid; several minutes later para-medics and police arrived. The family co-operated with the investigation.
The home was the scene of several break-ins in the past.
Blaskie was a father, stepfather and grandfather.
TREND-IN-LAW
The incident has drawn interest from many in the law community. It introduces questions such as:
· Is the home a last line of defence, thus permitting the use of any level of force to protect oneself ?
· Does force always have to be met with equal force, meaning a knife with a knife? Or do circumstances such as a per-son’s body size play a role?
The federal government recently clari-fi ed self-defence laws through changes to the Criminal Code. That was in response to a number of cases across Canada that found home- and business-owners facing the prospect of jail time and huge legal bills for defending themselves and their property.
Edelson and Friedman are convinced the courts are now trending to the side of people who fi nd themselves in similar cir-
Continued from front“It’s strictly for the backyard mechanic
who wants to have fun and raise money for charity.
“It’s just about having a good time,” Carron said.
Still – there’s decent money at stake. First place in the V8’s fi nal gets $2,000; fi rst place in the V6’s gets $3,000, and fi rst place in the four-cylinder gets $1,200.
All cash prizes are guaranteed because of donations made by the Arnprior Agri-cultural Society, Ed’s Salvage, Ed’s Auto Parts and The Prior Sports Bar (which is holding a party afterward.)
The derby gives 100 per cent back to drivers. That means the $80 entry fee for each car is put back into prize money.
The event is also expected to draw up to 2,000 spectators. A dollar from their tick-ets will go to CHEO. So will money raised from the half-engine blow-up.
DISPUTE AT THE DERBY
Some lingering controversy from last year’s derby doesn’t seem to have an ef-fect on this year’s turnout. The derby didn’t pay four individual heat winners the $100 each, as indicated would happen early on.
However, organizers such as Carron
and Scott Rancourt say they met with all drivers before the event and explained that, because they didn’t get the antici-pated turn-out of drivers, all prize money would go to the fi nal winners. The driv-ers voted in favour of the move and none spoke up against it at the time, Rancourt said.
Two of the drivers who took home thou-sands of dollars in the fi nals are among the four who missed out on the heat mon-ey.
“I will not back down from this,” Ran-court said.
“I shouldn’t have to (offer a payout). They could have said something at that point.”
Carron said most of the riders from last year are back again, and because the event has grown it appears the controver-sy hasn’t harmed the Fall Brawl’s reputa-tion. But he would rather it disappear.
“The last thing we want is controversy. We’re trying to run an event here and raise money for CHEO,” Carron said.
“We did exactly what we said we’d do. There was no false advertising. If it was over $3,000 and we disqualifi ed the win-ner and it was unfair, I could see that. But not over $100.”
The event’s rain date is Saturday, Oct. 8 at the fair grounds.

Stabbing has law experts considering implicationscumstances.
“The Criminal Code of Canada pro-tects individuals from prosecution, who act in defence of themselves, their homes or other individuals,” they wrote. “The Woods family acted in self-defence to pre-
serve their own lives. They conducted themselves appropriately, lawfully and responsibly.”
Nathan Woods could not be reached for comment; nor could Blaskie’s common-law wife Jennifer Prince.

WHITE LAKE POT BUSTTwo men are due in court Oct. 26 after OPP seized 54 pot plants from a Burnstown Road home in White Lake on Sept. 1. Police estimate the marijuana has a street value of $54,000. One man, 45, lives at the residence; the other, 22, lives further down Burnstown Road. They face possession and production of marijuana charges. Both were released on a promise to appear in court. Drug-making equipment was also seized.

A late Saturday-afternoon collision on Calabogie Road involving an ambulance has resulted in the death of an Ottawa man and his Beckwith girlfriend.
The two Arnprior paramedics in the ambulance suffered minor injuries and attempted to help the two people in the other car until other paramedics arrived on the scene.
The dead are the car’s driver, Mitch Albert, 25 of Ottawa, and his passenger, Lynsey Coté, 27, of Beckwith near Car-leton Place.
Albert, 25, was described in the 27-year-old Cote’s obituary as “her soul-mate and best friend – the two were inseparable.”
Cote’s funeral will be held at the Gar-den Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes in Nepean at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1. The family has asked for donations to be made to the Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge in her memory.
Albert, of Ottawa, grew up in West Car-leton.
The paramedics were Wendell Croken, 65, and Kristy Smaggus, 27, both of Arn-prior. They suffered minor injuries and were transported by ambulance to Ren-frew Victoria Hospital after being treated by attending paramedics.
The injured paramedics were not re-sponding to a call, and did not have any
patients on board at the time of the col-lision.
The crash happened about 4:30 p.m. in the Springtown area between Burnstown and Calabogie.
The OPP’s investigation indicates a 1999 red Acura Integra travelling south on County Road 508 lost control on a curve and entered the path of the 2009 Ford am-bulance travelling north. Both occupants of the Acura were pronounced dead at the scene by the other paramedics who responded to the call.
The crash occurred on a deceptive curve on the hill near the Norway Lake road intersection. There have been sev-eral near collisions in that area.
County Road 508 was wet at the time of the accident. Police frequently warn motorists that after several days of dry, warm weather, rain is likely to make paved roads extra slippery because of oil slicks that form.
Traffi c was rerouted for about 11 hours at Calabogie and Murphy roads, up to Ash-dad Road, along Brydges Road and back to Calabogie Road. Greater Madawaska volunteer fi refi ghters provided help with traffi c control.
Const. Kerlous Tawdrous is leading the investigation, with assistance from OPP technical traffi c collision investigators. Charges are not expected.

Recovered stolen vehicle linked to Valley crimes
On Sept. 10, the owner of a 2002 GMC pickup truck reported that his ve-hicle had been stolen from his driveway.
On Sept. 18, Renfrew OPP offi cers were dis-patched to a suspicious male at a cottage on High Lane Road in Renfrew County. The caller ob-served a Blue GMC pickup parked in the driveway of a cottage. A male ran out of the cottage and tried to get into the truck. The ve-hicle was blocked and the man fl ed on foot.
OPP canine arrived and tracked the suspect. A 24-year-old Horton man faces break-and-enter, possession of a stolen ve-hicle and resisting arrest charges.
IMPAIRED DRIVING
On March 16, constables Baranovski and McGrath and Sargeant Dougherty
of the Arnprior OPP were dispatched to a complaint at the Antrim Truck stop for a theft of gas. While leaving the gas station, the driver of a black Pontiac Sunfi re turned onto White Lake road proceeding against the direction of traffi c on one-way street.
He then lost control of the vehicle and drove into a ditch. As a result of the investigation, a 27-year-old Arnprior man has been charged with impaired driving, and theft.
LIQUOR LICENSE ACT
On Sept. 26, constables. Cameron and Paterson of the Arnprior OPP were dispatched to a report of an intoxicated male in the street at 178 River-view Dr. Offi cers arrived on scene and observed a male squatting in the street trying to clean up a case of broken beer. The
30-year-old male was re-leased from the Arnprior detachment and charged under the liquor license act for being intoxicated in a public place and con-suming alcohol not in a li-cense premises, residence or private place.
DRIVING COMPLAINT
On Sept. 18 at 8:22 p.m., Arnprior OPP received a traffi c complaint on Mc-Gonigal St W. in Arnprior. A red Volkswagon Jetta was observed travelling at a high rate of speed, cutting off other vehicles. Constables Baranovski and McGrath attended and spoke with the owner of the vehicle.
As a result, a 26-year-old Arnprior area man was arrested and charged with failing to comply with his conditions of release from court.

Photo by Stuart WarrenIt’s 1:50 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17, as the Canadian Pacifi c train crosses Renfrew’s iron bridge over the Bonnechere River for the last time. The tracks were pulled up and loaded on to the cars pulled by this engine. The train engineer is Bob Emond, a retired railway engineer and Renfrew resident.
Memories of the railwaySTEVE NEWMAN
It’s natural to be nostalgic while watch-ing the last of the Canadian Pacfi c Railway trains in town.
While taking photographs of the last CP train to cross the iron bridge in Renfrew last Saturday, Stuart Warren thought of the time he spent at the CP station in town as a child watching trains and talking to the station master.
Warren also got thinking of how his son, now nine months old, won’t get to see the trains come through the Upper Ottawa Valley. It was also a sense of history re-peating itself, said the Renfrew resident.
“The K&P was also in the same general area, and all remains of it are gone, other than a few blocks of cement.”
The disappearance of the CP line, adds Warren, is a loss “of the sense of history, which took many years to build and plan” and the “end of an era, no more trains, no more chance to photograph trains in the place I grew up.”
All the last little while, Warren wonders how much the loss of the rail line will contribute to the aging of local highways in the Valley, and how much it’s going to cost to keep the highways in good shape because of increased truck traffi c.
Renfrew resident Chantal Lavigne had a similar reaction while taking a photo of one of the last CP trains pulling through town Sept. 9.
“It’s kind of sad to see,” said Lavigne. “When my son was little, if we were out walking and he heard the train whistle, he would take off as fast as he could to be able to see it.
“I would be gasping for breath with my hands on my knees, and he would just stare up in quiet awe as this steel monster fl ew past us.”
Last month, The Chronicle-Guide re-ported that Cando Ltd. of Manitoba and A&K Railroad Materials of Kansas City are combining their services to salvage parts from the abandoned rail line. At least 40 kilometres of rail have already been torn up, reaching into Renfrew. The work is expected to continue well into October 2011 and could mean work on the Renfrew to Arnprior stetch.
The remainder of the line, which stretches from Smiths Falls to Mattawa, is expected to be salvaged in 2012.
Many plates and anchors will be relocat-ed, while many of the spikes and rail ties will likely be sold.
The track itself may fetch a very good price because some was only laid in 2006, said CP offi cial Anne Cornay in Calgary.

Arnprior council will hear from more opponents of a proposed residential de-velopment near the Grove Nursing Home before it renders a decision.
At Monday’s meeting councillors learned that after the Sept. 12 public meet-ing - which heard from two opponents and a letter of concern from nursing home CEO Eric Hanna – more letters critical of the development were submitted.
Councillors are asked to accept a staff recommendation that would change the zoning of the property to allow for more dwellings. The developer, Don Johnston of Kingdon Holdings, wants to build 40 townhomes and a 52-unit three storey apartment. Currently he had approval for single detached homes such as bunga-lows.
The letters are submitted by two op-ponents at the public meeting, Janet Mc-Grath and Blaine Lenser, along with a third whose name wasn’t revealed.
Concerns include: • exceeding water and sewer capaci-
ties; • seniors’ peaceful setting disrupted by
increased traffi c; • protection of historic Gillies Grove
and unique species. Staff is recommending the zoning
change from residential one to residential three.
Its responses to criticisms include: • upfront costs for water and sewage
oversized pipes would be paid for by the developer;
• the town factors in the needs of ex-isting properties before deciding if more can be accommodated;
• traffi c impacts will be considered lat-er in the process;
• an environmental impact study was done and buffer zones are required;
• the province wants higher density, even in areas where existing homes are on large lots;
• noise levels will be typical for a resi-dential area.
Councils will give time to respond to the most recent letter before rendering a decision. More comments are welcome before the next council meeting.
‘MAD’AWASKA FOR TIM’S
Truck drivers unloading cars along Madawaska Boulevard are causing safety concerns, said Coun. Lyle Anderson. He said when they park in front of dealer-ships a few “close calls” have occurred.
The county is responsible for the road, so town council agreed to send it a letter asking that no parking signs be erected. Reeve Walter Stack said the auto carriers are doing more than is necessary along the road.
“I think they are using it as much for Tim Hortons as anything else,” he said.

The group deciding library and sports service agreements between the town and township could have some rules to agree to before talks can start.
Arnprior council will ask the pro-posed Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Steering/Negotiation Committee to accept guidelines that include:
• agree to confi dentiality until all facts have been gathered and mutu-ally agreed to, in order to establish goodwill;
• agree upon engaging a facilitator if required during the process;
• establish a level of trust amongst the committee with the sentiment that the members are collaborating as a team to arrive at a fair and equitable agreement for both municipalities and residents.
In the past, debates over service agreements - whereby McNab-Brae-side pays Arnprior for rural residents to use the library and Nick Smith Cen-tre – have been combative.
Last month was the latest row, when the two sides had opposite interpreta-tions of the provincial privacy act. Li-brary offi cials said they can’t give the township cardholder names and ad-dresses. The township doesn’t believe that information is protected under privacy legislation.
Town council wants the two sides to agree that:
“In order to properly prepare agree-ments which both parties will buy into and be accountable for to their constituents, accurate information both fi nancial and non-fi nancial needs to be obtained and assembled under-standing that all data should be dis-closed without revealing any personal
information.” It is unclear if this means the town-
ship won’t get the names and address-es of its cardholders, something it said it needs to help decide how much money it wants to spend.
Arnprior Mayor David Reid wants to end the negotiation process, which comes up every fi ve years, in favour of year-by-year agreements based on an-nualized statistics.
At Monday’s council meeting, he read from a prepared statement. He talked about “argumentative and stressful” negotiations in the past, and that “two councils squaring off ” doesn’t refl ect the spirit of co-op-eration the two have shown over and again.
Reid said the process will be open and transparent when the committee – made up of one councillor from each municipality and two residents of each community – brings its fi ndings to the councils.
He said the process will be no differ-ent than staff reports, which are not produced in a public setting.
The township will consider the guidelines at a future meeting.
JUNKING OPPORTUNITY
Junk is still being dropped off at the Opportunity Shop, costing the volun-teers time, energy and even money to dispose of it all.
In a letter dated Sept. 13 to Arnprior Mayor David Reid, manager Sandra Stemp asked the town to donate gar-bage bag tags to the shop, which sells gently used items and donates the money to the Arnprior District Me-morial Hospital.
“We have been receiving broken, stained, ripped goods along with toasters, fry pans, pots and pans that
are burned and dirty,” Stemp wrote. “Because of this, we put out between six and eight bags of garbage a week at the shop. We have been buying the garbage tags but they really do take away from the money we could be giv-ing to the Arnprior and District Me-morial Hospital.”
Stemp hadn’t heard back from the town as of Sept. 20.
TO STAYE OR CHANGE
A group of six business owners and 56 residents in the Staye Court Drive area want the road standards im-proved.
David Thompson submitted the pe-tition to town council, along with a letter dated Sept. 10 saying the group wants the designation changed from rural to urban standards.
“I want to know his ulterior mo-tives,” Coun. Lynn Grinstead said. The letter doesn’t mention improve-ments to lighting, sidewalks, curbs and the like, but planner Robin Smith said parts of the road are missing those features.
“This change to urban standards is long overdue and will once and for all stop the ridiculous trouble,” Thomp-son wrote.
“Staye Court Drive has not been ru-ral for decades. Please change its class to urban standards.”
Council will discuss the issue at fu-ture meeting.
FEES AND FUNDS
The town won’t charge landfi ll fees to county crews who fi nd old couches and other garbage along the side of the road. Rural municipalities that don’t charge miss out on about $200 per year; but it’s expected to cost the

A trade show for local businesses is planned for next spring.
The Arnprior Curling Club, in a bid to raise funds to purchase its building from the agricultural society, will host the event May 5 and 6.
Called Getting to Know Your Local Businesses, there will be between 40 and 50 spaces available inside the facil-ity, with the potential for more outside.
The cost to rent a space is $500.“After a long absence of such an
event in the community, spaces for this type of show are sure to fi ll up quickly,” organizer John Wahay wrote in a letter to members of the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce.
“Local trade shows have been shown to be one of the most effective ways for small and medium businesses to ex-pand their base of regular customers and at the same time provide a valu-able one-stop-shopping experience for
residents,” Wahay wrote.The club has raised $47,000 of the
$200,000 needed to close the sale of the curling rink building. It is offering to name the building – for a 20-year peri-od - after a company that pays $40,000.
Once it has purchased the build-ing, the club plans to fi nd an organi-zation to run a fl ea-farmers’ market both in the ice shed and on the outside grounds.
The curling club has existed in Arn-prior for 142 years.

He fi gures the road is now being used more since county-owned on-ramp to Highway 417 is closed. And Baskin Drive is in such a state of dis-repair it “probably will not last a full year.”
RESIGNATIONS
Two volunteer members of town committees submitted their resignations in recent weeks. Jim Silye, who ran a close second to Mayor David Reid in the last election, stepped down from the Adjustment and Economic and Development Ad-visory committees.
The offi cial reason given was “for personal rea-sons.” Both Reid and Silye said the break was not acrimonious.
Garry Dowd resigned from the Properties Stan-dards Committee because he has too much on his plate.
Members of Arnprior’s Community Improvement and Tourism Advi-sory Committee toured the town’s waterfront along the Madawaska River Sept. 19 to get an idea of how it could be developed and tied in better to the downtown.

Johnny Cash music is playing in the red building, while on the nearby pond a statue of a young fi sherman sits below a bird house soaking in the warm autumn sunshine.
It’s a tranquil Sunday afternoon, but an emotional one too, on this fi nal day in a 23-year history of the Goshen Flea Market.
Everyone who talks about the end of the market talks about “the people.”
They’ll miss the people most − the cama-raderie, conversations, and connections to the people in communities near and far each Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., May through September.
Sally and Ray Cook are calling it a day, after closing down their previous business, a farming operation, and using one of the old barn buildings to house several ven-dors.
The next door building, sporting a Texa-co sign on the outdoor wall, was the other main building for the 15 or so vendors.
“We had fun,” said vendor Louise Brise-bois of Aylmer, Que., after spending about 18 years at the market.
“Oh, I’m sad. I’m going to miss the place because I met a lot of different people, and it’s a friendly place.”
One of the nice touches over the years was the popular obituary board, or wall of remembrance, with clippings or stories about people connected to the market.
Local vendor Larry Vincent also has fond memories of the fl ea market. After 16 years there, he says he’ll miss “the people, my friends,” and selling everything from barbed wire (to one customer) to books, cameras, dishes and toys.
Customer Anita Lyons, who lives on nearby Stewartville Road, said she’s disap-
pointed to lose the Sunday visits to shop for old vintage cans, cooking crocks and antiques.
“It was nice to come over on a Sunday morning,” she said. “There was always a good mix of things I was looking for, and way more reasonable (prices than else-where).”
It’s diffi cult to say goodbye, but also the right time, says co-owner Sally Cook.
After more than 20 years running the market, she said it will be nice to have a Sunday off.
And besides, she added, there wasn’t enough money in it to leave the business to their children. And it was more work after her husband, Ray, suffered a stroke a little over a decade ago.
Eve Yantha, a former vendor and neigh-bour, says the Cooks managed to keep the market going “amidst adversity that would make many people give up.
Sally and Ray have toured the Valley on Saturdays to fi nd treasures to sell on the Sunday.”
Vendor Bernice Latreille of Cobden presented a farewell thank-you card to the owners with signatures from several ven-dors.
Inside the card was Latreille’s six-stanza poem that included references to the Cooks’ dog and market mascot, Cuddles, as well as to the owners’ three adult children (Brent, Debbie and Dwain) and how the “memories will linger for a very long time.”
Her poem closes by saying:We thank you Ray and Sally for wonder-
ful yearsWe’ll try to depart without too many
tears. We wish you the best in your many endea-
voursYou will be in our heartsNow and forever.
Goodbye to Goshen Flea Market after 23 years of camaraderie

A second area fl ea market in as many months has announced it will close for good.
Sept. 24 was the last day for the Goshen Flea Market, just off Highway 17 between Arnprior and Renfrew, after 23 years. It was a smaller business on a converted family farm.
Now it is the Antrim Flea Market, a much larger operation open Sundays at the former truck stop on Old Highway 17 in West Carleton, after six years.
Hundreds go weekly to the combined indoor-outdoor fl ea market. Forty ven-dors inside and many more outside offer plenty of variety.
In its heyday, thousands were said to have attended, with cars parked on the road out front.
They go for antiques, quality, hand-crafted furniture, funky used handbags and jewelry, collectibles, LPs, native art-work and much more; even a food vendor that offers a farmer’s breakfast or Chi-
nese food. But increased competition, rain on
many Sundays this summer, along with high gas prices that keep vendors and city consumers away, has owner Terry Hooper opting out.
“It’s not making any money anymore,” Hooper said. “I feel bad about closing. I’ve got mixed emotions. But it’s like sell-ing a house. No one wants to do it, but as long as your family is healthy, that’s all that matters.”
Hooper has the building for sale, but no fi rm offers have come up.
He said temporary fl ea markets lure his vendors away until they fold.
He suspects some vendors will end up at the fl ea market near the Rideau Car-leton Raceway.
However, the rumour at both Goshen and Antrim fl ea markets is that some-one might open fl ea market in Renfrew. Hooper said it probably wouldn’t be very big; he doubts city people are willing to drive that far.
The fi nal day for the Antrim Flea Mar-ket is Oct. 30.

EDITORIALLETTERS
To the editor:So we’re into a new session of Parliament, and what it will try
to accomplish. Well, the session will be much different than what we have experienced in the recent past. The last several years has been a ‘billiard tournament’ that saw the various teams ‘racking the balls up’ but never hitting the cue ball dead on the rack in front of it. Rather, the shots tended to carom ... sometimes hit a pocket ... but more often than not went nowhere.
No one dared strike the rack with force fearing that if the ‘eight ball’ went down, that particular game would be lost. So the Parlia-ments we have recently had were tournaments of no real impact. Of course, there were ‘hits’ that had an impact on the rest of the balls on the table, but they were sporadic to say the least.
The people watching the tournament became bored and decided to switch channels and they elected a newly defi ned billiard tourna-ment. So what makes this next four-year tournament look like and who are the teams?
Without putting catchy names on the teams, I will simply de-scribe them in very loose and symbolic terms. You can determine who they are and moreover, how strong is their cue stick ... how well are the balls racked ... and at the end of tourney ... who is likely to dunk the eight ball before the ‘string of balls has been strung’.
I say this, because the texture of the balls is very important when they are hit, otherwise they will shatter on the table and no team will win very much, if anything.
One team in the tourney has a set of ‘odd balls’ to rack up. Some are more oval than others so how they roll is critical. Many of these new balls have never been struck by a hand with a strong cue stick, so how they splatter over the table is really a question mark.
Another team has a set of old billiard balls that are tarnished and in need of a real treatment of WD 40. Yes I know that WD 40 is made of fi sh oil, but that fi sh oil can do a lot of interesting things provided it is put onto the right set of balls at the right time.
Timing is very critical to this team. Too much oil means the balls will simply slip around and miss the pocket. This team must re-oil its balls very carefully.
See ‘POSSIBLY’ Page 9
To the editor:Since we will soon be voting in our provincial
election, it will be benefi cial to expond on the dif-ferences between socialism and capitalism. Not all of socialism is bad and not all of capitalism is good. By contrast, democracy and capitalism are closely connected as are socialism and com-munism. The differences are easily recognized by the Cold War between the greatest socialist country, Russia, and the greatest capitalist coun-try - America. Who won this war? The destruc-tion of the Berlin Wall in 1989 is the symbol of the victory and superiority of capitalism over socialism. Socialism in Russia failed to produce the utopia it had promised, and it will probably fail if tried in Canada.
Capitalism promotes the equality of opportuni-ty to acquire wealth, but socialism promotes the equality of standard of living by redistribution of wealth by overtaxing the wealthy to give to the poor. Capitalism promotes hard work to achieve desired goals, but socialism promotes “the world owes me a living.” Everyone does not deserve the same standard of living. Should not those who work harder, longer and smarter be rewarded for their efforts? In socialism, the lazy are rewarded in their laziness and the industrious are pun-ished for their hard work. Taxes are inevitable, but they should be fair to all - rich and poor, not robbing the rich to give to the poor.
The cause of poverty is not always laziness. So-cialists who blame the wealthy capitalist for pov-erty, must surely recognize that there are many causes of poverty, such as lack of education, poor work skills, lack of initiative, poor health, poor fi nancial planning and unwillingness to take risks. Of course, we should help others overcome these disadvantages and many capitalists do help. There are rich socialists and poor capitalists. Poor capitalists usually work hard to raise their standard of living, but rich socialists usually ex-pect “big daddy government” to bail out the poor. Question: how did the rich socialists get rich?”
There are two basic types of rich capital-ists: the greedy and the benevolent. The greedy deprives his workers of wages and benefi ts while living in luxury and refuses to share his wealth. The benevolent provides hundreds of good pay-ing jobs and then shares his wealth by making large contributions to hospitals, universities and libraries. Unfortunately, most socialists rant about the greedy capitalists, but fail to give credit to the many benevolent capitalists.
Economically, Canada is closely tied to the U.S. Whatever happens to adversely affect the U.S. economically will adversely affect Canada’s economy. It has been suggested that if socialists want to prove the superiority of socialism over capitalism, that they go south and help Barak Obama, who is crippling the greatest capitalistic country with his socialistic agenda. So, if you want to cripple our Canadian economy, fi rst go south and cripple the U.S. economy.

Parliamentary billiards
Across Ontario, and right here in the Ot-tawa Valley young individuals are work-ing hard to make a difference in their
own communities and around the world. The Ontario Community Newspapers Associa-
tion (OCNA), through the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, is currently accepting nominations for the 2011 Ontario Junior Citizens of the Year Awards.
Founded in 1950, the Ontario Community News-papers Association (OCNA) is a non-profi t indus-try association representing over 300 community newspapers, including this one. Coordinated by the OCNA since 1981, the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards Program has recognized the best of Ontario’s youth with the help of sponsor-ship from TD Canada and Direct Energy and sup-port from the Offi ce of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.
Do you know a young person who stands out from the rest?
Nominate a special individual who goes above and beyond what is expected of someone their age, someone who invests their spare time in commu-nity service, someone who looks past their own needs and inspires those around them.
‘Good kids’ can be found everywhere. They are our sons, daughters, nieces, nephews,
grandchildren, students, team players and employ-ees. Nominating these young leaders for a Junior Citizen award is a chance for them to stand in the spotlight, to be recognized for their dedication and selfl essness.
The Junior Citizen awards program is open to youths between the ages of six and 17. Nomina-tions will be accepted until Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2011. Up to 12 nominees will be selected as the fi nal recipients for the 2011 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award and they will be recognized at a special ceremony in Spring 2011.
Nomination forms and further information is available online at www.ocna.org/junior_citizen, or by calling the OCNA offi ce at 905-639-8720, ext. 239.
Remember, today’s youth are tomorrow’s lead-ers. There’s one in every crowd and we think they deserve some recognition and encouragement to continue making a difference.

Benefi t for local lad on Oct. 8STEVE NEWMAN
He wants to farm and be an auction-eer, like grandfather Gerald Walsh, but he faces bigger challenges on the immediate horizon.
Tyler McEnroe, 12, of Arnprior is fi ghting a rare form of cancer. Leu-kemia is relatively common among children, but not this form. One of his grandmothers, Barbara Wilson of Cobden, said this type, known as hy-pereosinophilia, attacks the bone mar-row and can have an adverse impact on the heart.
“There are only 35 other known cases in North America,” said Wilson, noting this form of cancer was last identifi ed on this continent in 1998.
“He’s the healthiest sick kid I’ve ever seen. He’s a very ambitious, determined 12-year-old,” added his grandmother, who lives near Cobden with her husband (Gerald Walsh).
Tyler was only diagnosed in mid-May 2011, but the good news is a per-fect stem-cell donor has been found.
Tyler was scheduled to undergo a stem-cell transplant today (Sept. 29) at the Sick Children’s Hospital in To-ronto.
The transplant is coming courtesy of a three-year-old girl’s umbilical cord.
Tyler, meanwhile, had been living in a rented apartment in Toronto with his mom, Laurie Selle of Arnprior, be-tween medical treatments at the Sick Children’s Hospital. This is because Tyler started receiving chemotherapy Sept. 21.
This was to be followed by several sessions of radiation treatment this
week. After today’s surgery, Tyler is ex-
pected to be in isolated medical care for 10 to 45 days, says his Cobden grandmother.
Afterwards, Tyler will have to travel between Arnprior and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) in Ottawa for follow-up medical ap-pointments.
The benefi t is being staged to help foot the family’s travel and out-of-town living expenses.
Tyler’s other family members in-clude his dad, Rob McEnroe; his step-
dad, Mike McBane; and his 14-year-old brother, Braydon.
Tyler’s other grandparents, Ralph and Chris Selle of Douglas, are also helping support the Oct. 8 fundraiser, as are several other Cobden- and Doug-las-area families.
Musical contributors for the benefi t, in order of appearance, will be the Enright children, the Helferty family, 4-H square dancers, and the Douglas Connection, whose members include grandfather Ralph and uncle Keith.
Organizers and family supporters are also maintaining the same positive attitude Tyler exhibits every day.
“We’re hoping and praying every-thing is going to be fi ne because, like every other kid, he’s special,” says Wil-son.
Major organizers of the benefi t are Darcy and Jen Lynch, and Tim and Te-resa Lynch. To donate auction items, please email Darcy at [email protected] or call 613-432-7037.
The benefi t starts 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Cobden Agricultural Hall. Goodwill donations are welcomed.

Arnprior councillors will ensure the 150th anniversary celebrations will be done in style, with or without money from the federal government.
With the budget at just over $64,500, the town is committing $10,000 at the moment. However, if a federal grant for $29,000 is turned down, the town will kick in a total of under $40,000.
Parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur said the chances of winning the grant are as good as “fl ipping a coin,” but that a solid commitment is needed at this stage before performers can be booked.
They need to know before Christmas. Much is planned for Robert Simpson Park, including a wild west show, pioneer village, log-rolling contest and more.
Other events are coming together in other parts of town, too.
Reid said the town celebrates its 150th anniversary once, and it should be done right.
Reeve Walter Stack agreed. “It has to be done and it has to be a fi rst-
class act,” Stack said. Council voted unanimously in favour
of spending the $29,000 if the grant fails.
Party like its 150th anniversary

Continued from Page 9The last team must be very careful in
how they play out this tournament. Too much ‘ball spin’’ will sink the eight ball quickly and those kinds of quirks and quarks simply mean they lose the tour-nament in default because they simply didn’t read the ‘English’ on the cue ball and how the rest of the balls will react.
This team has an opportunity to make some really good shots on the table ... but
that little ball with the 8 on it is a pow-erful ball on the table ... the team captain must be very careful how he coaches this team or they will ‘tank’’ in default of how well they manipulate their shots.
Oh by the way .... I am a lousy pool player, so I would never try to spray anyone’s balls on this ... or anyone else’s table either.

Good dogs sometimes fi nd them-selves facing a little bad luck.
Luckily, animal shelters such as the Arnprior & District Humane Society are there to provide a safe and loving home for these dogs as they wait for their second chance.
The makers of Pedigree have teamed up with the Arnprior & District Hu-mane Society and 29 other animal shelters across Canada for the fourth annual Pedigree adoption drive cam-paign to show that shelter dogs are good dogs and to raise awareness of the importance of dog adoption.
As a part of the Pedigree adoption drive, the Arnprior & District Hu-mane Society will receive a maximum donation of $5,000 this year from the makers of Pedigree and will also be featured on the company’s website.
Additional program activities will help increase awareness for the shel-ter.
“We are thrilled to once again be a part of the Pedigree adoption drive,” said Arnprior shelter manager Steph-anie Cantrell. “We work with an ex-tremely tight budget, and the donation from the makers of Pedigree will help us help keep our shelter dogs happy and healthy while they wait for their new family to adopt them.”
To help show Canadians that shelter dogs are good dogs, the makers of Ped-igree have launched a series of Adop-tion Stories videos online at www.mypedigree.ca that feature real-life shelter dogs – Bootsie and Phoenix.
For every view of the Adoption Sto-ries videos, the makers of Pedigree will donate $1 up to a maximum of
$150,000 to their partner shelters in 2011.
“The work done by the Arnprior & District Humane Society as well as our other partner shelters never ceases to amaze me,” said Aisha Hassan, brand manager, Pedigree Care & Treat, Mars Canada.
“The staff and countless volunteers at the Arnprior & District Humane Society truly dedicate themselves to these dogs to ensure that they are cared for and have another chance at a happy life.”
The Arnprior & District Humane So-ciety took in 15 dogs between January and April and adopted out nine dogs to loving homes. The shelter is located at 490 Didak Dr.

Humane Society teams up with Pedigree for adoption drive
Big win for Aftica German ShepherdsSHERRY HAAIMA
It wasn’t Leanne Krieg-er’s fi rst victory at the Ger-man Shepherd Dog Club of Canada National Specialty Championship Show, but it was perhaps one of the sweetest.
The owner of Aftica Ger-man Shepherds, established in 1990 in McNab-Braeside, Krieger and two-year-old Ace returned from the Ca-nadian championships with the prestigious title of 2011 Canadian Maturity Victor of Canada.
To even qualify for the event, a dog has to come out on top in one of six re-gions in Canada. Ace was top Maturity Victor for the Ontario/Quebec region and Krieger is just thrilled that the winning continued at the nationals, held Sept. 8-10 in Cloverdale, B.C.
“It’s quite a thing,” says Krieger. “It’s a very, very big honour.”
Aftica has had more than 25 various Canadian cham-pionships at the Canadian championship breeders showcase, something Krieg-er attributes to her focus on quality not quantity.
While her love of all her dogs is obvious, Ace has a special place in Krieger’s heart.
“Ace is a very special dog. He is the result of a frozen surgical implant from a sire that was collected in 1997,” explains Krieger.
“Ace was bred for beauty, brains and excellency in mounts,” she says.
The victory is especially sweet because Krieger de-cided to start the litter sev-eral years ago when she was getting back on her feet after
being waylaid with health problems.
She is grateful for the help of Ace’s co-owners and others who supported her in the project.
Just like raising a child, says Kreiger, “it really does take a village.”
For the Cloverdale event, Ace’s professional handler was Scott Yergin from Geor-gia, U.S. and the judge was Charlotte Larosa from Ohio, U.S.
Ace’s registered name is Aftica Ken-Delaine Gs-dstyle’s Battlefi eld and he is co-owned by breeders in Washington and Massachu-setts.
There are six shepherds at Aftica and Krieger says
while it’s a big job looking after them, there’s nothing else she’d rather be doing. “I love my dogs,” she says.
German Shepherds are a
remarkable breed, accord-ing to Krieger.
“They are smart and beautiful and they’re so loy-al,” she says.
Big winner Ace shares a hug with Aftica German Shepherds owner Leanne Krieger. German Shepherds are known for their beauty intelligence and loyalty, says Krieger. Photo by Sherry Haaima

gested diverting money from French im-mersion to hiring more doctors. O’Leary, who lives in Toronto, said the Liberals have invested in many parts of the prov-ince after the PCs closed hospitals and reduced physician training numbers at universities.
“Why elsewhere and not here,” he asked. “As your member I will work hard for health care funding to Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.”
The NDP candidate reminded voters who brought universal health care to Canada, and that his party would “elimi-nate” student debt for doctors willing to work in rural areas. The party would also cut back on exorbi-tant hospital CEO salaries.
“We will remind these people why they are doing their jobs,” Dougherty said, “not for the pay cheque, for the patients.”
On student debt, which is the highest in Canada, O’Leary said the Liberals have reduced the number of students forced to pay off their debts to the point that Ontario might not have the highest numbers in the country. Reid said students shouldn’t
take easy courses “that go nowhere.” The NDP will freeze tuition for at least four years and take the provincial interest off loans.
O’Leary indicated the NDP plans aren’t realistic. Dougherty shot back say-ing his party will tax corporations the same amount they paid last year, but that small businesses will be rewarded for hiring people.
Both O’Leary and Dougherty men-tioned on a few occasions how disap-pointed they were that the middle right seat was empty. It was to be Yakabuski’s.

Election
DEREK DUNN
Two candidates were missing from a Renfrew all-candidates’ debate, but only one earned the ire of organizers.
Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) teacher and union representative Jeff Barber, who mediated the Sept. 21 debate in the school gym, accepted that Green party candidate Kyle Jones was sick. Bar-ber said he was “disappointed” with PC incumbent John Yakabuski’s response that he won’t attend one-issue debates.
Barber said it was explained to Yaka-buski that the fi rst 10 questions were on education, but that the fl oor would be opened to audience questions after that. He also noted that Yakabuski attended an agriculture-focused debate in Cobden.
“I teach history and civics and I tell my students you vote based on the party, the leader, but most importantly on the local candidate,” Barber said. “Unless we hear from all of them – how do we know what we are getting.”
About 45 people showed up for the eve-ning event, including New Democrat Bri-an Dougherty, Liberal John O’Leary, and Confederation of Regions candidate Mur-ray Reid. The seating arrangement, with Dougherty on the left, O’Leary in the cen-tre, and Reid on the right became an anal-ogy for where each stood in the issues.
A question on standardized testing led the NDP candidate to say resources are now diverted to focus on testing. He wants to empower teachers to guide stu-dents and move to a “random sampling” of all grades.
O’Leary, who is the governing Liber-als senior advisor on education matters, called it an “important tool” that parents support. Core learning requirements have gone up under his party, he added, but expanding standardized testing is not under consideration.
Reid, a baby boomer, often referenced his time in school during the evening. That was when kids learned to read and write “not like a lot of kids today.” He said in the 1960s, students were frequently tested and that it prepares them for the workforce.
On the funding formula, based on stu-dent enrollment numbers that many see as negatively impacting small rural schools, the Liberal candidate said “schools have never been better supported” and that a new grant is coming to keep smaller local schools open. O’Leary pointed to the Mike Harris common sense book that said edu-cation would be cut by 20 per cent with-out affecting health care or law-and-order funding.
Reid said newcomers in Toronto should learn Canadian culture and English.
Dougherty said the NDP would re-eval-uate the funding formula, which bases its numbers on 1997 levels. It doesn’t account for the rise in special needs students.
Capping class sizes was a question that night and many years ago, Reid said. He said it has “never worked out” and must be a product of new math or algebra.
The Liberal candidate championed the program and said one-on-one time with a teacher is crucial.
Dougherty said the smaller class sizes
are good, but more teachers for special needs and language-challenged students are needed.
O’Leary mentioned on a few occasions that the NDP doesn’t have education facts and fi gures in its platform. Dougherty said the leader will unveil the rest of the platform, just as leaders of other parties will do with theirs.
On increasing the number of specialist teachers in areas such as art, music and drama, Dougherty answered yes; Reid said teachers used to do extras for free; and O’Leary lamented losses during the Harris years but pointed to “student suc-cess teachers” who seek out struggling students as specialists.
On fundraising fees, O’Leary said bake sales and more are good – but that schools shouldn’t raise money for the basics. The NDP pledge to spend $20 million to dis-place money parent councils raise, and $20 million for school trips, events and other activities. Reid said many trips are too lavish for low-income families.
Dougherty pressed the Liberal candi-date to explain why schools have fees when the education act says they shouldn’t. O’Leary said there are no fees related to basics such as textbooks.
On full day kindergarten O’Leary said the program saves parents up to $6,500 annually, and should be in all schools by 2014. He said the PCs are promising the same, but “with changes.” He wondered if those changes mean without teachers or with fees. He also noted the PCs op-posed the program.
“I don’t have a lot of faith it will be there,” he said.
Reid said he wasn’t damaged by not go-ing to kindergarten.
Dougherty said the program works, but there should be adequate stabilization funding for private daycares.
On reducing bullying and cyber-bul-lying, Reid said “take away cellphones” and that students should take a course on “how to get along.” Dougherty said anti-bullying should be taught earlier on. O’Leary said the PCs voted against sub-stantial measures to punish bullies, in-cluding expulsion and mandatory report-ing to police in cases of serious violence.
When the topic of special needs kids came up, Dougherty said 30,000 students are waiting for services, and the NDP will increase funding for mental health. O’Leary said the Liberals made it easier for therapists to get into classrooms. Reid said education should be paid for through income tax, not property tax.
AUDIENCE QUESTIONS
A questioner asked about job creation. Reid said shortening the years for appren-ticeships in the trades will help.
Dougherty said his party’s Buy Ontar-io, Buy Local policy will boost resource jobs by forcing value-added work be done in the province, and farmers will benefi t because every public building will have to offer Canadian food. O’Leary said his par-ty is cutting taxes and red tape, keeping the Eastern Ontario Development Fund, but that one of the best ways to create jobs is to fund education.
On improving health care, Reid sug-

Election
Campaign enters its last weekSTAFF
The provincial election cam-paign enters its fi nal week today (Thursday).
Poliicians have one more week to convince voters to sup-port them in what is expected to be the closest Ontario election since the early 1990s.
However, many voters have already cast their ballots with advance polls being open since Sept. 21. The last day for the ad-vance polls will be this Friday, Sept. 30.
The advance polls are open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at various lo-cations including the Arnprior Mall near Val’s Coffee Shop at the Hart entrance.
There will be several area polls open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. election day, Thursday, Oct. 6. The main Arnprior poll is at the Nick Smith Centre, but check your voter card to see where you vote. If you didn’t receive a card, contact the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke returning offi ce in Pembroke or the satellite offi ce in Renfrew.
For questions on registration, voting and other general inqui-ries, call 1-866-532-3174.
If you live in the Pakenham area, the Carleton-Mississippi
Mills riding advance polls in-clude Five Arches Non-profi t Housing in the village.
Your returning offi ce is at 600 Terry Fox Dr. in Kanata and the number for inquiries is 1-888-668-8683. Information for all rid-ings is also available by visiting the website elections.on.ca.
In the last Ontario election, the Liberals were elected with 52.1 per cent of electorate voting. The number of electors casting ballots has been steadily declin-ing since 1990, when it was 64.4 per cent.
The Progressive Conservative candidates won election in both Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke and Carleton-Mississippi Mills ridings in the last election.
In the former, John Yakabuski is running for re-election. He is being challenged by Liberal John
O’Leary, NDPer Brian Dough-erty, Green Party candidate Kyle Jones and Murray Reid of the Confederation of Regions Party.
In Carleton-Mississippi Mills, the area’s long-time MPP Norm Sterling isn’t running again, af-ter being beaten for the Progres-sive Conservative nomination by Jack MacLaren.
He is up against Liberal Me-gan Cornell, NDPer Liam Duff, the Green’s Scott Simser and Cynthia Bredfeldt of the Family Coalition Party of Ontario.

Election
SHERRY HAAIMA
The debate was mainly friendly and a modest-sized crowd turned out when three Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke provincial candidates met in Arnprior last week at an event hosted by the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce.
Provincial Conservative John Yakabus-ki, Liberal John O’Leary and the New Dem-ocratic Party’s Brian Dougherty answered written questions from the audience on a variety of topics that ranged from the high-way to our aging population. Green candi-date Kyle Jones was sick and missed the debate, while the late entry into the race of Confederation of Regions candidate Mur-ray Reid left him out of the invitation.
Moderator Jason Marshall of Metroland Media posed the questions to the candi-dates at the event at Arnprior District High School Sept. 22.
“Should the focus on four-laning High-way 17 up the Ottawa Valley continue or should we be focusing on less gas-guzzling ways to get around,” he asked the candi-dates.
When he fi rst came to Arnprior to meet his in-laws, Brian Dougherty heard it re-ferred to as the ‘highway of death’ so he was pleased with the ongoing expansion.
More needs to be done to improve trans-portation options, though, he said.
The riding is vast and large and trains would be a great option for freight and com-muter trains, he added.
There’s nothing to be done about what’s already been pulled of the CN line so it’s time to look ahead. “I just want to make sure that what remains of these tracks are put to good use,” he said, noting snowmo-bile, cross country ski and hiking trails are popular features on former rail lines.
Yakabuski gave the county credit for its partnership in kicking in gear the expan-sion of Highway 17.
“We’ve certainly been pushing it,” he said, noting the latest $65-million section of the project will be completed next year.
When the government decided it would not purchase the CPR line, Yakabuski told the federal government offi cials the next phase of the highway must be a priority.
“It makes no sense whatsoever to stop at Arnprior,” said Yakabuski. “There can’t be that many unseemly delays. This project must continue,” he said.
In terms of the CN line, Yakabuski said he tried up to the last minute to have the pulling of the tracks delayed. “At the end of the day, the federal government chose not to, the provincial government chose not to,” he said.
O’Leary said the government’s commit-ment to Highway 17 improvements is evi-denced in the expansion.
“You don’t have to spend a lot of time on Highway 17 to see a lot of signifi cant im-provements that are going on right up and down the highway,” he said. The govern-ment does all it can to ensure the highway is safe.”
He noted the Liberals have a new multi-year infrastructure plan, one of the largest planned investments in infrastructure his-tory.
BUSINESS SUPPORT
All candidates felt small business needs to be supported by government.
“The reality is small business counts for 90 per cent of jobs created,” said Yakabus-ki. “We will be the best partner that small business ever had.”
The Liberals will continue to support small business with programs and tax re-forms.
“It’s not government or business, it’s all of us together, my friend,” said O’Leary.
The NDP plan will make it easier for small business owners right away by lower-ing small business tax and offering incen-tives for new jobs created.
“Ontario is a have-not province,” said Dougherty. “A province that is so rich in natural resources is a have-not province, it doesn’t make sense.”
RURAL ISSUES
What would candidates do to support rural ridings like R-N-P in an urban-domi-nated Legislature?
“The NDP supports rural ridings very well,” said Dougherty, committing to hav-ing a strong voice at Queen’s Park.
Yakabuski has
Candidates discuss transportation, small business and more at chamber meetingbeen doing it all along, he said.
“What would I do? I’ve been doing it,” said Yakabuski. He meets regularly with ministers to ensure Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke gets its fair share.
“I’ve been here to go over the projects and make sure we’re not being left behind,” he said. “That’s why you have to have the best person possible to represent you.”
O’Leary said his rural roots, life in an urban setting and experience working for the senior level of government offers a unique perspective.
“I have seen the importance of making sure that polices and programs aren’t just Toronto-centric,” he said. “I can bridge that rural-urban divide in a way that others can’t,” he said.
In closing, the candidates thanked debate organizers, those in attendance and the media for the debate.
“I think that the Liberal party has the right plan for the right time and together we can contin-ue to build Renfrew County into one of the best places in Ontario to live,” said O’Leary.
“I have been tremendously proud to be your MPP for eight years,” said Yakabuski.
“It’s never been more impor-tant to have a strong representa-tive in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pem-
broke.”Dougherty said he and his wife had op-
tions, but they chose the Valley because it was where they wanted to live. He’s com-mitted to working to improve life for peo-ple in the riding.
“I think the NDP are the best option, not just for this riding, but for Ontario,” he said.
Long-term health care, seniors and edu-cation were also among the evening’s top-ics.

Candidate vows NDP to grow key industries, jobsTo meet Ontario’s energy needs in an
environmentally benefi cial way, the NDP will open new markets for wood products and energy by investing in biomass elec-trical generation and other forms of co-generation.
“The NDP plans to call for proposals for new biomass energy generation that can utilize waste from mills and forest op-erations as well as agricultural residue,” said Dougherty. “This is just the kind of thinking needed to get our mills going again and offer hope to local people. The mills need a market for their waste in or-der to operate at all.”
He said the Liberals “messed up” the renewable energy fi le by giving all the opportunity to huge corporations and to-tally overlooking communities and rural needs. “An NDP government would call for proposals to locate large-scale biomass generators near transmission corridors.”
Dougherty said that instead of giving all the renewal energy business to giant corporations, as the Liberals have done, “We would want at least 50 percent to be community non-profi ts. Andrea Horwath and the NDP are committed to measures that would strongly encourage biomass energy generation under community di-rection, keeping the money in our com-munity.”
The NDP plans to see Ontario promote and encourage increased uses of wood at all levels. “Amendments to building codes, for example, could permit mid-rise wood construction would provide jobs and showcase Ontario as a world leader in the use of forest products,” Dougherty said.
In addition, large and mid-size compa-nies will be eligible for an industrial hy-dro rate so that Ontario’s rates are com-petitive with neighbouring jurisdictions.
New Democrats have plans to protect and create jobs through positive, practi-cal solutions for the forest industry and agriculture, says the local candidate.
“With the recent unveiling of platform planks on forestry, energy and the envi-ronment, the Ontario NDP is offering vot-ers a plan that will provide the province’s forestry sector with vital support it needs as well as a boost to area farmers,” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke candidate Brian Dougherty.
Ontario has shed over 40,000 forestry jobs, and current wood reallocation pro-cesses have caused more than 30 mills to
shut down, affecting entire communities. In Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, many mills have closed, while most have greatly cut back employment, leaving millhands and bush crews idle.
“People in the forest industry tell us they’re up against impossible competi-tion internationally due to corporate trade deals, as well as the global economic crisis,” said Dougherty, who met to dis-cuss issues with former Renfrew County head forester Robin Cunningham. “The NDP offers new thinking and affordable ideas to combat the crises we face in jobs and forestry.”
Provincial Liberal candidate John O’Leary wrote to Renfrew County War-den Bob Sweet to reiterate his support for ongoing municipal uploading.
O’Leary has heard time and again, from mayors, councillors, as well as local fami-lies, that they are concerned a Tim Hudak PC Party would stop uploading $500 mil-lion from the property tax base across Ontario.
The uploading agreement Ontario Liberals signed with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario is easing the property tax burden by assuming the cost of social services, court security, land am-bulance services, and public health. Prop-erty taxes in Renfrew County would rise
between four to fi ve percent (4-5 per cent) at least, if the Hudak PC Party cancels this agreement.
Since 2008, $1 billion has been uploaded from municipalities, giving local commu-nities in the Ottawa Valley more fl exibil-ity to repair roads, upgrade infrastruc-ture, and address other local priorities.
“Local priorities like improving local roads and other infrastructure need to be addressed, and many priorities won’t get the attention that they need if the uploading is stopped,” O’Leary penned. “I believe our uploading agreement with Renfrew County must continue, and if I am elected, I will make sure that upload-ing continues.”
Liberals promise to keep uploading

Incumbent focuses on forestry industry, reducing taxesJohn Yakabuski is focusing on help for
the forestry industry and reducing taxes during the closing days of the election.
The forestry industry has taken some body blows under the McGuinty govern-ment through neglect and legislation, ac-cording to Yakabuski, incumbent MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke and the Conservative candidate in the October 6 provincial election.
“There has been no consultation with industry professionals concerning such legislation as the Endangered Species Act, whose changes put those in the for-estry industry at the top of its list,” Yaka-buski said today.
Many of the changes have resulted in skyrocketing costs to lumbermen, he added.
“I spoke to one forester who told me his costs have gone up 50 per cent as a result of this legislation because of having to put people and machinery on hold when a species may be in the area that is listed as protected,” Yakabuski said.
He went on to say that the industry needs to be able to use some common sense through amendments to the Act that would allow discretion in such situ-ations.
“Our lumbermen have always put con-servation and species protection fi rst and we expect nothing less from them if we give them some discretionary power needed to exercise common sense,” he added.
High stumpage fees are another road-block to the success of the lumber indus-try, as they prevent local foresters from being able to compete with other wood producing countries, specifi cally the U.S.
In speaking with mill operators it is clear that one of the highest input costs is electricity.
“The McGuinty liberals have done nothing but add to this burden,” added Yakabuski.
“We need to make changes that will support the lumber industry in Renfrew County and across Ontario, not only leg-islative changes but implementing new initiatives such as biomass production that will enable our foresters to be com-petitive and not stand in their way,” Yaka-buski said.
“As the Member of Provincial Parlia-ment for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke for the past eight years I have always stood up for the interests of the forestry industry, which has provided so much growth and prosperity for generations of Renfrew County residents,” he added.
Yakabuski concluded by saying, “My commitment to this industry has been and will remain strong should I be hon-oured with re-election on Oct. 6.”
HST OFF HYDRO BILLS
Electing a Tim Hudak Progressive Con-servative government on Oct. 6 will pro-
vide families, seniors and small business with the break they need according to PC incumbent candidate John Yakabuski.
“Under Dalton McGuinty, the Liberals have added one tax after another, and in few places is that more evident than on
your energy bills,” Yakabuski said.For example, he said a PC government
would remove the HST (harmonized sales tax) from home hydro bills.
He also said a PC government would bring energy costs back under control.

Nudity arrests have town connectionFive men ranging in age from 38 to 70
and from Ottawa, Arnprior and Vancou-ver, were arrested for public nudity in Gatineau Park Sept. 21.
MRC des Collines said the men, were found after complaints of naked people on a trail near Meech Lake. Police indi-cated the arrests are a preview of their actions next summer.
Offi cials said they had put up bilingual signs warning against public nudity, which they said attracts people who mas-turbate and makes the area unattractive.
The men were found on the fi rst day po-lice were making arrests for nudity.
The men were arrested, identifi ed, es-corted out of the park then released, say police.

GEOFF DAVIES AND LAURA MUELLER
When 17-year-old William Ross realized he couldn’t hold back from harming himself, he ran downstairs and asked
his mother to drive him to CHEO.Jesse Graham told six people he was
thinking about killing himself, says Shelly, Jesse’s mother, but he never spoke to a professional about his demons. The people Jesse told kept it to themselves.
Today, William is recovering. Jesse took his own life last summer.
It’s a cruel twist of fate that the stories of these two young men, who faced such similar inner struggles, ended so differ-ently.
As is the case for many teens strug-gling with mental health challenges, it often comes down to knowing how to access the resources they need.
William, who went through counsel-ling when he was 12, knew. Jesse didn’t.
That’s why the first point of contact for most suicidal teens is the hospital emer-gency room, or a visit from the police, says Dr. Kim Sogge, chief of psychology professional practice at the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group.
“It’s a real dilemma for families,” she says.
Sogge says mental health professionals and agencies in Ontario and Ottawa need to do a better job of educating families and making them aware of the resources available to them.
Ben Leikin of Ottawa Public Health couldn’t agree more.
He is one of the partners involved with the Community Suicide Prevention Network.
The network arose as a result of the growing awareness of suicide that fol-lowed the high-profile suicide of 14-year-old Ottawa resident Daron Richardson last fall. The aim is to co-ordinate re-sources by bringing together the execu-tive directors and decision makers from a range of service providers.
After several months of meetings and consultations, the network decided the most pressing issue facing the mental health field in Ottawa is ensuring people are aware of the resources available and how to access them.
Leikin pointed out there are a lot of big issues that need to be addressed, like decreasing the stigma that still sur-rounds these issues, and creating a media awareness campaign to get the message out. But “bigger than those things, or a
big important piece of that, is still how to navigate the system,” Leikin says. “So that’s going to be what we tackle.”
The network will be creating “naviga-tion maps” to guide both youth and par-ents through the mental-health system.
“It will go into a bit more detail of how to navigate yourself through the system. It will … provide information about how one could work through it to get the ap-propriate services,” Leikin says.
Sogge says although awareness about
mental health is improving, funding isn’t following suit.
But Ottawa Public Health is trying to do its part. The city added $300,000 into its budget starting in 2011 aimed at add-ing suicide-prevention programming for parents and to provide funding to allow the Youth Services Bureau’s downtown crisis drop-in centre to be open for an extra day each week (that announcement is coming next month).
It’s a big step that marks Ottawa Public Health’s entry into the mental health field, Leikin says.
“We’re new to this in the sense that we’ve just started to make these strong connections in the mental-health area,” he says. “Whereas before Ottawa Public Health was an expert and a leader on various health topics, now mental health is becoming one of them, which is really exciting for us.”
The focus for the programs, which could start as soon as January, will be on youth in grades 7 and 8 – the “transition years,” says Nicole Frappier, who is also with Ottawa Public Health.
But Ottawa Public Health wants to make suicide part of the dialog with par-ents starting right at pre-natal classes, Frappier says.
It’s an especially pressing issue in Ottawa, where eight per cent of youth have seriously considered trying to kill themselves. That is a significantly higher rate than the rest of Ontario, a city report notes.
It’s the type of programming that officials hope will make a difference to families like the Grahams.
Now with several courses under her belt, Shelly Graham is learning more about suicide so she does know what to do.
Education is key for everyone, includ-ing parents, she says. One day, when she’s ready, she hopes to share her knowl-edge in classrooms.
What’s most important, she has learned, is to reach out to people suffer-ing. Though it may be uncomfortable, making the effort to break through could save a person, and spare the web of people who love them.
“There’s a real shame that comes with suicide. We will not be ashamed,” says Shelly. “Jesse was an awesome guy and we are going to talk about him. He was loved. Shame is what immobilizes you and it’s what keeps people suffering in silence. “And there’s been enough suffer-ing in silence.”
Special Feature
Finding a way through the mental health system
BLAIR EDWARDS
The biggest item on the wish list of Ted Charette, co-ordinator of Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Mobile Crisis and Intake
Services, is Canada adopting a national suicide prevention strategy.
Canada is the only G-8 country without a national suicide prevention strategy.
The Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention is working on preparing a national suicide prevention strategy.
“I think it’s starting to gain some weight and some support around the families,” says Charette.
“We’ve had a blueprint for many, many years,” says Rene Ouimet, a director of the Canadian Mental Health Association and a member of the Canadian Associa-tion of Suicide Prevention.
Canada needs a body to co-ordinate suicide prevention programs across the country, said Ouiment.
“We keep lobbying,” she said.The Canadian Association of Suicide
Prevention released a suicide prevention strategy in 2004.
The objectives of the strategy include:Promote awareness across the country that suicide and suicidal behaviour is everyone’s problem and is preventable.Increase the number of employ-ers and volunteer groups that have suicide prevention, intervention and post-intervention programs.Promote understanding that “break-ing the silence surrounding suicide increases realistic opportunities to save lives and to reduce suffering.Launch an anti-stigma campaign.Reduce the availability and lethal-

ity of suicide methods (such as guns).Increase training for recognition of risk factors, warning signs and at-risk behaviours.Develop a national crisis-line net-work.Increase services and support to those bereaved by suicide or who have attempted suicide.Increase funding for suicide preven-tion programs.
“The only way we’re going to prevent suicide is to talk about it openly and directly,” said Ouimet.

Part 3: Mental health professionals and agencies work together for better community awareness
OUT OF THE DARKNESS A series about youth suicide
WorkshopsThe Canadian Mental Health
Association offers a series of suicide prevention training workshops in Ottawa:
SafeTALK: a three-hour course for people over the age of 15 to help identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide first aid resources. The cost is $40 to $60 to take the course.Applied Suicide Interven-tion Skills Training (ASIST): a two-day program offered 20 times a year in Ottawa that teaches suicide first-aid skills to anyone who may come into contact with a person at risk, using the most widely-used suicide intervention model in the world. The cost is $180 to take the course. More than 1,000 people take the course every year.
For more information call 613-737-7791.
Ottawa school boards have their own ASIST trainers.
Connecting with resources
A new website, www.emen-talhealth.ca, is making it easier for people to connect with the mental-health services that are appropriate for them.
In addition to having a direc-tory, it is like a Google search for mental health services, said Ben Leikin, mental health project of-ficer for Ottawa Public Health.
“So if you want to search something like ‘psychologist for a 14-year-old,’ it will bring up private practise psychologists as well as some programs that ex-ists for free. It indicates right on it is there is a fee, if it’s bilingual and where it’s located,” Leikin said.
The search also brings up news articles and useful links.

McNab-Braeside fi re Chief Ken Walton is reminding the public to be fi re safe this sea-son when it comes to home heating.
His comments came after township fi refi ghters attended
the fi rst chimney fi re call of the season at a home on Mullen Road recently.
“Please have your fi re pipes cleaned and checked for creo-sote build-up,” urges Walton.
You can never to be too care-
ful, he adds, when it comes to safety.
The arrival of fall is also a great time to check that smoke alarms, mandatory on each fl oor of a home, are working properly.
Same goes for carbon monox-ide detectors, says the chief.
“Now that we’re coming into home heating season, you want to make sure all equipment is working properly,” says Wal-ton.

Nature
The recent warm tempera-tures may have us thinking that summer is never going to end. However, the actions of our wild neighbours tell us this is only wishful think-ing.
Red Squirrels are busy fell-ing cones from pines while Beavers tirelessly tow poplar limbs to their ever-burgeon-ing food piles. And fl ocks of geese are now winging their way across the sky.
If you listen quietly at night, you will still hear the chirps and cheeps of boreal birds migrating south.
The fall migration is still ongoing and now many mi-grants from the far north such as American Pipits and American Golden and Black-bellied plovers are passing through.
Soon the darlings of the north, the Snow Buntings, will be paying us a visit.
How far south a bird mi-grates depends largely on its dietary needs. Arctic shore-
birds need vast ex-panses of inverte-brate-rich mud in which to forage so most head to South America.
Warblers glean caterpillars from leaves and so many travel to Central America. White-throated Sparrows and Dark-eyed Jun-cos feed on seeds hidden on the ground, so they travel only as far as the snow cover dictates.
How birds get to their des-tinations also varies. Most songbirds including war-blers and thrushes migrate at night, taking advantage of the cooler air (their fl ight en-gines are air-cooled) and lack of predators.
Hawks migrate only dur-ing the day, effortlessly ex-ploiting the rising columns of warm air as they thermal hop all the way to the Gulf of Mexico and beyond.
Northern geese and shorebirds used a mixed strategy. Many fl y by day and by night, some trav-elling thousands of kilometres before stopping to rest and feed.
The recently crowned world cham-pion is a Red Knot, a sandpiper smaller
than a pigeon, that fl ew non-stop for six days, covering an amazing 8,000 kilometers in that time. Its round-trip encompassed an even more remarkable 26,700 km.
Although we cannot see the nocturnal migrants, studies have revealed that birds change the way they fl y after the sun goes down.
Instead of fl apping their wings continuously, song-birds adopt a woodpecker-like fl ight. They fl y in an un-dulating motion with bouts of fl apping bringing them up near the crests of the waves.
Just before they reach the top, they pull their wings tight against their body and soar up and over the crest where they fi nally succumb to gravity.
Partway along their down-ward descent they start fl ap-ping again, only to rise up once again, a pattern repeat-ed all through the night.
Geese don’t fl y this way but by forming their famous ‘V’ fl ocks they conserve en-ergy. Each bird aligns itself behind the wingtips of the bird ahead where air is being pushed up by the wing tip.
Each follower saves energy by exploiting the free lift pro-vided by the bird ahead.
Geese also honk a lot as they fl y. It is said they are us-ing contact calls to keep the family groups together.
I wonder if they are really saying: “Hey buddy, want a lift?”

Arnprior commemorated Interna-tional World Day of Peace with the dedication of both a Peace Pole and Peace Garden at Galilee Centre on Sept. 21.
The image of the peace pole came af-ter the destruction of Nagasaki in 1945 by the atomic bomb. In 1955 Masahisa Goi made a statement for peace by us-ing a vertical stone with a declaration of peace on it. Since that day, memori-als for peace have been planted around the world.
More than 50 people gathered at the newly planted garden by the main en-trance of Galilee Centre. What was once a simple entrance has become an “oasis of peace” and colour.
The Peace Pole was made from Red Cedar by the father-and-son team of Noel and Joel Remy of Arnprior who
also built the small roof garden next to the main door.
The gardens were designed, built and cared for by the Arnprior team of Ann and Bill Lamb and Fr. Jack Lau.
As the service began, all were out in front of the building waiting patiently to cross the threshold, but before they could enter, four members of the com-munity unveiled four plaques each in a different language saying “May peace prevail on the Earth.”
After the applause, they all crossed over the old stone threshold into the sacred space of the circular garden. Different members from the commu-nity read from a litany of prayers for peace from world’s faith traditions.
For many it may have been the fi rst time to hear a prayer from the Baha’I faith or the Toa tradition.
What they heard from each prayer was that from the depth of the human spirit, where the divine dwells, all yearn for peace.
Mayor David Reid of Arnprior and Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie of McNab-Braeside were both present and shared their thoughts of peace. Blimkie said the moment she crossed the threshold she felt the spirit of peace.
This event was in collaboration with the Department of Peace Canada Ini-tiative and the Missionary Oblate Jus-tice/Peace and the Integrity of Cre-ation Committee.
It is hoped that Gardens at Galilee will continue to be an oasis of peace and healing for the community.

The band members of-fered their talents for free for the Run, Ramble and Rafter Laughter fundraiser at The Barn on Kippen Sept.10. At-tendees gathered to walk, run, enjoy a meal and listen to music throughout the evening at the farm of Enid Blackwell and Bob Hinchley. What started as a grass-roots initiative has developed into a strong network of peace-
minded people across the country, working to create a culture of peace and estab-lish a formal Department of Peace as part of the structure of the federal government. Several events occurred in the Arnprior area as part of the Peace Festival in recog-nition of the International Day of Peace Sept. 21. “Our mission is to bring a level of consciousness to society so that we can actually have a day of not thinking about violence,” said Dunn, of Arn-prior. “If we can do it for just one day a year, we can do it for the other 364 days.”

VIRTUOSO FINALE
Photos by Chris CouperMervin Fick conducts his fi nal performance with the Ottawa Valley Music Festival at Grace-St. Andrew’s United Church in Arnprior Sunday. Fick, an Eganville native, presented a concert Vivaldi and the Italian Baroque to a packed house. Fick has spent 18 years as artistic director and conductor with the Festival orchestra and chorus.
Mervin Fick shows the painting he was pre-sented with after his fi nal performance with the Ottawa Valley Mu-sic Festival Sunday. The painting, by local art-ist Christine Peltzer, depicts the home of Fick’s aunt, Beatrice Verch. The Eganville-area location has been a source of inspiration for the festival’s 18-year artistic director.

The ADHS Redmen girls bas-ketball teams have got their sea-sons off on the right foot with two wins each.
Arnprior opened its season Sept. 22 when they hosted teams from Fellowes and followed up Sept. 27 with two more wins when Madawaska Valley came to town.
The seniors unleashed a bal-anced attack at the Pembroke team in a 44-24 opening win. Alex-is Lough and Natalie Quathamer had eight points apiece for ADHS, while Dana Lacelle and Shannon Power each scored seven.
The Juniors, led by Emma Shoveller’s 18 points, drubbed Fellowes 44-6.
Shoveller added 18 more points in Tuesday’s 41-22 win over Mada-waska Valley.
The seniors thumped the Bar-ry’s Bay team 54-16 as Lough netted 11 points and Lacelle and Quathamer scored seven each.
The wins put the Redmen in an early season fi rst-place tie with St. Joseph’s of Renfrew in both divisions.

Madawaska Golf Club
The team from the Arnprior Golf Club won the 18th annual Munro Challenge with a hard-fought, 11-stroke victory over the team from the Pakenham Highlands Golf Club.
The Arnprior team’s total of 743 outpaced the Pakenham Club, which fi nished in second position at 754. The host team from the Madawaska Golf Club fi nished at 763.
Mountain Creek was unable to send a team this year due to some scheduling confl icts. How-ever, Michel Gougen, who shot 73, and Warren Mooney, who fi red a 74, played in the event and vowed to bring a full squad to the annual event for the 2012 competition.
The Arnprior team’s score of
743 established a new tourna-ment record low score. The Arn-prior club also set the previous low team score in 2006 at 751.
The team from Pakenham also bettered their best ever team score by 19 strokes.
Sean Moore from the Arn-prior squad shot a 69 to lead the Arnprior team for the day. John Akehurst shot a 71, Cam McIn-tosh fi red a 72 followed by Jeff Whyte, Scott Giles and Marcel Grandmaison at 73 to help pace the Arnprior team to an average 10 best player score of 74.3.
Gary Grainger from the Mada-waska golf Club shot a 2-under-par score of 68 to record the low gross for the day.
Larry Lafl uer shot a 70 to lead the team from Pakenham Highlands. John Barr and John Fagan both shot 73s followed by the Pakenham Highlands club
champion, Mike Kelly, with a 74.Perry Freda from the host
Madawaska team shot a 69 fol-lowed by Dan McCaskill with a 75. Kevin Ryan and Travis Fraser both shot 76 to stake the Madawaska team to the third-place fi nish.
The skins game winners for the day were Scott Giles from Arnprior (two skins) with bird-ies on holes 11 and 12; Perry Fre-da for the host club with a bird-ies on the 5th hole; Jeff Whyte from Arnprior with birdie on the on the 4th hole; and Larry Lafl eur from Pakenham with an eagle 3 on hole #1.
The annual competition stand-ings have the golfers from Arn-prior on top with 12 victories fol-lowed by Madawaska with three victories, Mountain Creek with two and Pakenham with two.
Many thanks to Rick Munro
for sponsoring and hosting the annual event.
Rick has always been a driving force in the local amateur golf scene and he has vowed to con-tinue a great tradition with the annual Munro Challenge. Next years competition will be the 20th anniversary of the event, which is quite a testament to the Madawaska Golf Club and the entire Munro family.
The course was in excellent condition again thanks to Mar-tyn Munro and his staff.
Kevin Turcotte won the Men’s closing fi eld day held Sept. 18 with a net score of 61.
Low shooters in A fl ight in-cluded Perry Freda, Doug Rob-ertson, Bill Descoteaux and Ray Kulchyski.
The B fl ight low shooters included Ranny Gauvreau, John Carty, Wayne Stiles, Jay
Grainger and Barry Craig.The C fl ight winners were
Doug Parkin and Wally Camer-on. Heinz Ebert, Doug Howe and Matt Oliver were the D fl ight winners.
This wraps up the competitive season at the Madawaska golf club for 2011. The course was in outstanding condition from day one thanks to Martyn Munro and his maintenance team.
Special thanks to Ted Davies and El Strauss who organize all of the tournaments and men’s nights and provide us with the best information boards in the area.
Also, thanks to Rick Munro and Victoria Oliver and their Pro-shop staff for the exception-al service throughout the year (www.madawaskagolf.com).

At its fall closing meeting, the Galetta Lawn Bowling Club honoured a founding member.
Kin Dillane, president of the club, pre-sented Helen MacHardy with an Honor-ary Life Membership certifi cate. Helen, along with her husband Donald, was in-strumental in getting the lawn bowling club started in Galetta in 1991.
In addition to providing untiring sup-port for the club’s activities, Helen be-came an accomplished bowler in her own right.
Helen, who now lives in Fitzroy Har-bour, thanked the membership and noted she was pleased that the club is prosper-ing and encouraged all in attendance to keep the traditions going.
The president congratulated Grant Fletcher, Sandra Jefferies, Dave Jefferies, Ted Tozer and Sue Smith on their stellar
play in district, provincial and governor-generals competitions throughout the summer. Dillane commended and named 25 members who also excelled in various competitions during the playing season.
Gordon Wright presented the trophies to the winners of the various in-house tournaments: triples – John & Carol Stephenson and Andrew Tait; mixed pairs – Jim Bos and Jean McCarron; novice triples – John Stevenson, Bessie McGuire and Elaine Patterson; ladies pairs – Jean McCarron and Greta Vanc-es; men’s pairs – John Bennett and Bob Vance; novice pairs – John Bennett and Marilyn Nixon.
The surprise highlight of the night was the comedic banter of member Jean McCarron of Arnprior. She delighted those in attendance with 15 minutes of one-line zingers.
The Green will be closed down within the next few weeks. The opening of next season will be on May 22, 2012, which will be followed shortly thereafter by the club’s annual open house.
Information regarding the club can be obtained from Kin Dillane at 613-832-5456, at [email protected] or at the Club’s website, www.lawnbowls.galettaca.org.

#����$���"�������%��"�����&�������The healthcare staff at ADMH is constantly looking at ways to improve the current medical services we offer as well as opportunities to offer new services. The month of October will see the addition of a Medical Day Program and a new specialist. A transfusion clinic has been running for a number of years in the emergency department. Beginning October 5 it will change to a Medical Day Program that will run each Wednesday in a dedicated room at the hospital. The Medical Day Program is for patients requiring procedures such as: blood transfusions, IVIG, Albumin, Iron Infusions, Pamidronate and phlebotomy. These procedures were previously done in the emergency department as it was necessary for patients to be monitored the entire time by a registered nurse. While our new Emergency Department is a much improved space following the renovations it will be nicer for patients to have a room dedicated to their specific procedures. “The Medical Day Program will be of great benefit to our patients. Dedicated appointment times away from the rush of the emergency department will help facilitate access to day procedures in a timely manner” said Dr. Jennifer Rivington, President of the Medical Staff. For patients requiring the above mentioned procedures the process will remain the same. Your family doctor will send a referral to the Outpatient Clinic and an appointment will be made for the Medical Day Program. On the day of the appointment, patients will need to register at 8 a.m. at the Outpatient B Entrance located at the front of the hospital, your health card in required. A convenient drop off zone is located at this entrance and patients would also be picked up from this location. October also signifies the arrival of Dr. Christopher Brown. Dr. Brown is an orthopedic surgeon who will be performing arthroscopies and foot surgeries. Patients requiring an appointments will need a referral from their family doctor. Dr. Brown is taking over from Dr. Keegan Au who recently moved back to Newfoundland. It was important for ADMH to find a new orthopedic surgeon as keeping care close to home remains a priority.

The Arnprior Redmen senior football team got off to a good start in defence of its Ontario championship with a 27-8 win over Mackenzie High School in Deep River Sept. 23.
The Junior Redmen also won last Fri-day, edging the always tough Almonte Thunderbolts 20-13 in the Lanark town.
The Junior Redmen were scheduled to host Smith Falls at 1 p.m. today (Thursday) in their home opener, which followed the
school’s annual Pigskin Parade through the downtown. The game was expected to be another strong test for Arnprior, as Smiths Falls thumped Carleton Place 42-8 last week.
The Senior Redmen don’t play at home until Thursday, Oct. 13, when Madawaska Valley comes for a game at noon.
The ADHS teams will go to Renfrew Thanksgiving Sunday (Oct. 9) for the an-nual Turkey Bowl.

Local player Lauren McGonigal who grew up playing ringette in Arnprior is coming home to play in the AAA Eastern Region Challenge Cup on the Ontario United team.

If the Arnprior Packers could get both their offense and de-fense working well in the same game, they might be able to get a much-needed win in their home-opener this Friday, Sept. 30.
The Junior B Packers host Almonte Thunder in an 8 p.m. start at the Nick Smith Centre.
The Packers were held to two goals in a 3-2 loss in Renfrew last Friday. They went out and scored seven goals Sunday, but lost 8-7 in Stittsville’s home-opener.
Against Renfrew, Arnprior
nearly overcame a quick 3-0 defi cit to their long-time Valley Division rival, only to come up one goal short.
Braedon Moffatt has paced the Packer offense after four games with a goal and six as-sists. Shane Smith has scored three goals and added two as-sists.
Special teams have been both the good and the bad for the Packers so far.
Arnprior has by far the best power-play in the league, scor-ing nine times in 23 opportuni-ties.
However, they have allowed a league worst eight power-play goals against.
Packers lose two one-goal games
