HELPING YOU IS WHAT WE DO!
YEAR IN REVIEW Arnprior and area residents had their share of ups and downs in 2010 and the Chron-icle-Guide was there to bring you scenes and stories from the year’s major events and de-bates. Among the highlights of the past year was the municipal election in October when David Reid, above, became Arnprior’s new mayor. This week’s edition features a photo spread of the year’s best photos.

Lucky dogSHERRY HAAIMA
It’s a wonderful life for Bailey the Chihuahua mix.When the community learned that Bailey’s life was in
danger, it came through in a big way to support the little dog that had severe problems after years of neglect. Now he’s sure to have one heck of a happy new year, says Arn-prior and District Humane Society shelter manager Steph-anie Cantrell.
Bailey came to the Arnprior shelter extremely over-weight, with overgrown toenails, parasites, a tumour in his mouth and bladder stones.
After being put on a diet and exercise programs and with proper care, Bailey began to improve.
In December, shelter offi cials worked to raise funds to provide surgery that would remove the stones and ulti-mately save Bailey’s life. A story in the Dec. 16 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide publicized the need for public support.
Thanks to generous donations, the story is coming to a happy end.
“Bailey has had his surgery, and everything looks good,” says Cantrell. “He is a much happier little guy and he is enjoying his Christmas in a foster home.”
See ‘WAITING FOR A HOME’ Page 3
After a hectic night Dec. 24 delivering toys to good boys and girls around the world, Santa took some time out to relax in Arnprior. He is seen snowboard-ing on the Nick Smith Centre hill. The pre-Christmas snow and cool weather has been a blessing for skiers and snowboarders as both Mt. Pakenham and Calabogie Peaks have been open daily throughout the holidays.

Revised Glen Meadows subdivision unveiledJOHN CARTER
Developer Peter Smith has pre-sented his revised Glen Mead-ows residential subdivision to McNab-Braeside council in the hopes construction can start as early as mid-2011.
With the original proposal of 220 homes on Arnprior water and sewer services dashed by the town’s reluctance to service subdivisions beyond its borders, Smith is proposing 55 estate lots with private services on the property in the Russett Drive area. He has already begun to
mark out roads on the property and drill test wells.
Mayor Mary Campbell called the project well planned and de-signed, and in keeping with the township’s vision to promote a rural lifestyle.

Continued from front However, drainage and other issues need
to be addressed before fi nal approval is given, Campbell said.
Smith, who accompanied by Bruce White-head of 2P2G Consultants, said the subdivi-sion will “greatly enhance McNab-Braeside,” providing, along with other quality projects proposed for the township, quality homes for newcomers to live.
The homes will be built under relatively strict esthetic guidelines, he said.
“It won’t be a mish-mash.”Glen Meadows will be readily accessible, but
will respect the environment, he stressed.He said the subdivision will include new
walking trails and perhaps a fi re hall and skat-ing rink.
He said he is in preliminary discussions with the County of Renfrew regarding plan-ning approvals, hydrology studies and analy-sis on how many septic systems the area can handle.
In response to a question by Coun. Brad Mc-Ilquham, Smith said access to the subdivision will come off Russett and Campbell drives.
He also said he is concentrating on residen-tial development and any plans for industrial lots in the area “are not even in the picture right now.”
He is keeping his options open for the adja-cent property he owns closer to Highway 17.

VOTING CHALLENGE
The Arnprior and District Hu-mane Society placed sixth overall in an online voting challenge run by the Animal Rescue Site.
While the ranking was not enough to garner any prize money from the contest, the re-sult was impressive nonetheless, says shelter manager Stephanie Cantrell.
“We fi nished in sixth place, which is great considering it was for all over Canada,” says Cantrell. “Maybe next time.”

EDITORIAL
Let it snowHey, what gives?The Arnprior area has normally been buffet-
ed by at least two or three major storms by now, making driving miserable and keeping people indoors.
But our weather has been relatively calm since we had an early blast of winter that re-sulted in a couple of too hastily-called snow days in early December.
Not so for our fellow Canadians on each coast. Or our neighbours to the south. And our friends across the pond in Europe.
Maritimers and British Columbians have been hit by a series of frightful winter blasts that have been harsh enough to cause consid-erable damage to both homes and the environ-ment.
It’s extremely rare to have ferry runs can-celled on the same day on both coasts.
It’s also rare for the Upper Ottawa Valley to have barely enough snow to cross-country ski, snowmobile and snowshoe at a time when nor-mal activities in Boston and Philadelphia grind to a halt because everyone is snowed in.
Valley folks had almost no problems driving around to visit family and friends this Christ-mas. For people fl ying to Europe or the south-ern U.S., it was a much different story. Many learned fi rsthand how uncomfortable it is to sleep on airport benches.
But don’t expect to get off this easily in the next couple of months.
We still have almost three months of winter left and most weather prognosticators are pre-dicting colder, more unsettled weather in Janu-ary and February and a delay in the arrival of spring-like weather until at least mid-April.
That should warm the hearts of those who received snowmobiles or skis for Christmas and the organizers of the many fi ne winter car-nivals and events in our area.
So, come on, winter. Let’s get on with it.Leave the Carolinas and Florida alone. Loos-
en your grip on England and France.Come visit the Ottawa Valley where you’re
supposed to be. The quicker we get started, the sooner we can turn our thoughts to spring.
Happy new year, especially to all you who revel in cold, snowy Canadian winters.
LETTER
To the editor:We are about to enter 2011, and we in
Arnprior have had a year of surprises, so has Canada as a nation.
Some were unexpected surprises. Others were not.
We can take pride in doing some-thing that democracy allows us to do. Reason ... decide ... choose options and we did that politically. I have never been so proud of what the elector-ship can do and we did it in our town.
What we did was to express collective wisdom and that was accomplished. We have a new town council. Now it is up them to go ahead in 2011 and live up to our expectations.
Why? Because we have such expec-tations. That is why we had the kind of democratic turnout we did to express our wishes the way we did and the new year will be something that Arnprior deserves. It is now up to our new coun-cil to deliver sound guidance and over-sight for our tax dollars.
We also ought to be refl ective about other issues and that can be diffi cult.
So, when Russell Williams was named newsmaker of the year i.e. for 2010, at fi rst my reaction was a very nega-tive one. But I have always believed that when one turns a negative to a positive, one can and will persevere.
We draw collective strength in spite of the bad that sometimes occurs and we continue on to do good. And with the memory of an evil person like Rus-sell Williams in our psyche, we will do just that.
What this person did was disgrace-ful, abhorrent, and forever in the fam-ily histories of his victims a tragedy for them. But also for us!
He was a high profi le member of the military, destined for bigger and better things, but when he committed those atrocities, he embarrassed us, mili-tary and civilian alike.
And each and every day his name appeared in the media, he became ‘newsworthy’ not for his attributes but because of his atrocities. It was ‘hard to take’, but we watched and listened to each new revelation that occurred
... often in disbelief.I actually concur with the assess-
ment given to him because at the end of the day, his name was ‘front page’. And it got our attention. Amen.
While his victims will have diffi cul-ty “moving on,” we, as citizens, must move on and leave him to his ugly no-toriety. He now belongs to an exclusive club of misfi ts whose club house is in a place like Kingston Penitentiary. And good riddance to him.
His life is now a solitary one, monot-onous, and without end until his last breath. We, on the other hand, can and will look forward to making our home land a better place.
It won’t be easy, because there will always be some amongst us who will want to join ‘evil clubs,’ but the good news is we are collectively bigger and better than they will ever be.
I wish for every one of us a good 2011.
Thomas CharbonneauArnprior
Looking forward with high expectations
LETTER
Parking woesTo the editor:
I read your item about the parking tick-ets on Albert Street in Arnprior (Chroni-cle-Guide, Dec. 16).
I sympathise with the people at the food bank who got the tickets. But the construc-tion around the area has caused havoc for a while now. A neighbour here on Albert Street talked to one of the construction workers, and mentioned that they have an area to park in, and they should use it.
The reply was even more anger-inspir-ing. The cost of a days parking in Ottawa is apparently around $40, so the worker was not upset by a mere $35 dollar parking tick-et. They do not get one every day, so that’s quite cheap.
We here on Albert have had the noise, parking and blocking of driveways going on for a while now, so appreci-ate the bylaw offi cer enforcing the law.By the way, last year we as a family got two tickets here. We were upset, but we were parking improperly.

Sharing Christmas memories from 1931To the editor:
My family lived in rented houses during the Depression years - no central heating, only the kitchen ‘cook’ stove and a stove in the ‘parlour’. Usually, the fuel was soft wood such as poplar.
In the morning, the house would be cold so my father would open the door momen-tarily to let in the fresh air, which heated faster than the stale air. There was no hot water until the kitchen stove heated the reservoir. To prevent the pipes from freez-ing, the kitchen tap was left open to drip all night (no water meters then).
On Christmas morning, my sister Ro-bena and I would come down stairs to see what Santa had left. There it was, a small tin-metal train set, wind-up type, made in Japan, sitting ready on its tracks. I also
received a dump truck with a lever on the side to dump the load. Robena was ecstat-ic to see her doll in the box. My Mother always liked to sew and had made many clothes for this doll, so Robena had plenty to change and keep her busy.
During the weeks prior to Christmas, Mother did a lot of baking in preparation for the holidays, and, of course, a snack was left for Santa to enjoy. Although these were the Depression years, one always looked forward to Christmas time, the special tree, some candies, extra goodies to share, but most of all, it was the happi-ness of the season in wintertime.
Our memories are our links to our past – cherish yours.

Mayor suggests library agreement reviewJOHN CARTER
McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell feels it’s an opportune time to review the township’s partnership with Arnprior in the Arnprior library.
With the township seeking a new rep-resentative on the Arnprior Public Li-brary Board and the user contract up for renewal in 2011, it makes sense to at least discuss what McNab-Braeside residents want from the library, she said.
Campbell noted that while the reno-vations are beautiful, the development of the downstairs may necessitate more staff members. “My concern would be that wasn’t thought through before the renovations went ahead,” she said.
She said Arnprior receives direct ben-
efi ts from the library because she’s had people tell her they move to the town because of the library and indoor pool. However, people don’t move to McNab-Braeside for those reasons, she noted.
When her comments didn’t sit well with returning township library board mem-ber Dan Smith, Campbell stressed she isn’t suggesting the township withdraw from participating in the library.
“I’m not saying we should look at whether we should participate in the li-brary, but how and how much,” she said. “We may have some options.”
The township is seeking a replacement for its second volunteer representative on the board after Roseanne McNeil re-signed. People interested in the four-year term should contact the township offi ce by this Friday, Dec. 31.
Flooding concerns caused by a beaver dam in the Mansfi eld Meadows area appear to have been alleviated.
McNab-Braeside CAO Noreen Mellema told council Dec. 14 that the Ministry of Natural Resourc-es has helped Cavanagh Con-struction, owner of the property on which the dam is located, deal with the problem. The water has receded about three feet.
A second dam further up Jed Creek that also concerns Dave and Debbie Reed will be investi-gated by Cavanagh Construction to see if it is on its property. If it isn’t, they will contact the owner.

Council open to public questions,meetings moved to 6:30 p.m.
DEREK DUNN
A lengthy and at times confusing debate over changes to Arnprior council meet-ings took place at the Dec. 20 committee-of-the-whole meeting.
In the end it was decided meetings will take place at 6:30 p.m. every second Mon-day, beginning at the next meeting, Jan. 10. After the regular meeting of council – when decisions are formalized - will come the committee-of-the-whole, when new issues are debated.
The former council met at 5 p.m. with council one week and committee-of-the-whole the next.
Many new councillors ran on a cam-paign of change that included more trans-parency and openness. A major plank for councillors such as Lynn Grinstead and Reeve Walter Stack was to provide the public with an opportunity to address council during a meeting.
However, council had diffi culty de-ciding when during the proceedings it should take place, or even if there might be a better way to encourage residents’ participation.
Grinstead and Stack pushed hard for the public question period, particularly after not seeing it on a report – “amend-ments to procedure bylaw” - detailing the new process produced by Mayor David Reid and chief administrative offi cer Lar-ry Donaldson.
“It was a commitment from a number
of us,” Stack said.“I support the intent,” Reid said, “I have
some reservations.”The concern is that an open question
period would give anyone with a grudge to lambast council or go on a lengthy rant.
Grinstead laughed at the notion the chairman, Reid, would have to order someone removed from council cham-bers.
She said 90 per cent of the people would attend meetings to ask for clarifi cation on certain decisions.
“I think they would be grateful for that chance,” Grinstead said.
Coun. Lyle Anderson, who in his day job on Parliament Hill regularly deals with formal meetings, suggested resi-dents sign in and produce a written por-tion as well as a verbal.
Coun. Mark Willmer said they should be restricted to speaking to items on that evening’s agenda.
“They should talk to items on the agen-da or it could get out of control at times,” said Willmer, the longest serving member of council.
Grinstead said the changes to council meetings are in a “trial-and-error” phase and might have to evolve as the group moves along. However, she said, the last two meetings have seen people invited to speak before council and it has worked out well.
It was eventually decided the question period will go ahead, but closer to the be-ginning of the meeting.

Lack of public input puts fee increases on holdJOHN CARTER
McNab-Braeside council tabled three recommendations from its recreation committee Dec. 21 after chair Aldene Styles and acting recreation director Ryan Marcellus expressed concern about lack of input from its public members.
The recommendations involved in-creases in beach and sports fi eld fees and the creating of a pilot rink at Wellington Park in Pine Grove.
Styles said council and the committee need more information and should dis-cuss the matters in more depth before fi -nal decisions are made.
Marcellus expressed concern about the number of council members and the lack of lay members at the Dec. 15 recreation committee meeting. He said he was sur-prised there were recommendations from what he thought was an information ses-sion for the new council representatives, Styles and Christine Blimkie.
He suggested that without input from the public members of the committee it would be “unfair” to bring forward the recommendations.
“We value the suggestions or comments from all of our committee members and
by going ahead with these recommenda-tions it suggests we do not need the help or ideas of our volunteer members,” he added in a memo to council.
“We are making important decisions without their knowledge or participation in the discussion. If actions like these were to continue, a sense of animosity could develop between the volunteers and council, which would more than likely cause our volunteers to no longer attend the meetings,” he warned.
One tabled recommendation would have doubled the season pass fee for Burn-stown Beach from $50 to $100 for non-resi-dents of the Township. McNab-Braeside residents would continue to pay $50.
The second would have boosted the soccer pitch rental from $5,000 to $6,000 for the 2011 season and increased Minor Ball rental fees from $1,500 to $4,500 over a four-year term, an increase of $750 per season.
Styles suggested both recommenda-tions be part of budget deliberations. In the meantime, staff should check com-parative rates in neighbouring munici-palities, she added.
Also tabled was a recommendation that council approach a Mr. Patenaude to cre-ate a pilot rink at Wellington Park with
the use of his equipment, water and hydro and of-fer him $1,000 to go toward costs of the project.
POWER OUT IN WHITE LAKE
Council did agree with one recreation committee recommendation, to permanently disconnect the power at the White Lake Park, at least for this win-ter. The power has been temporarily disconnected for six months and a decision needed to be made whether to switch it back on.
The disconnect was made after repeated vandal-ism at the park prompted concerns about township liability if the attacks caused a fi re or injured the perpetrators. It was noted cutting off the power means there will no longer be lights available for evening rink use.
Two new M-B committees formedJOHN CARTER
McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell has add-ed economic development and environmental advi-sory committees to the list of advisory groups that will assist her new-look council this term.
Campbell had attempted to form the two commit-tees in the last term of council, but was thwarted when the rest of council insisted the number of committees not be changed.
Returning Coun. Brad McIlquham, who has been named to both committees, asked Campbell about their terms of reference. Campbell replied the com-mittees’ fi rst role will be to come up with recom-mendations to council as to their scope of activity.
Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie will chair the economic development committee with McIlquham the other council representative. McIlquham will chair the environmental advisory committee with Robert Campbell council’s other member.
In passing committee and board appointments, council decided recreation trails be put under the recreation committee instead of being its own com-mittee, even though it has its own budget.
Council also agreed the committee appointments, which run to Dec. 31, 2011, would take affect Dec. 1 instead of Jan. 1 because of some pressing matters that needed immediate discussion.
Coun Aldene Styles takes on a heavy workload, chairing the transportation, waste management, and parks and recreation committees. The appoint-ments are:
Budget and Finance – chair Mary Campbell, all of council;
Planning Advisory – chair Blimkie, all of coun-cil;
Transportation – chair Styles, R. Campbell;Waste Management – chair Styles, R. Campbell;Parks and Recreation – chair Styles, Blimkie;Protective services – chair McIlquham, Blimkie;Fire – Chair McIlquham, R. Campbell;Community Emergency Management – Chair M.

Accessibility project completed at Burnstown churchJOHN CARTER
The congregation of St. Andrew’s United Church in Burnstown celebrated another major achieve-ment Dec. 19 by dedicat-ing its new accessible en-trance.
About 50 people attend-ed a ribbon-cutting and luncheon to celebrate the major change that opens up the church’s basement meeting area for a number of prospective new uses for the community. It is already used for a variety of purposes from a meet-ing area for Women’s Insti-tutes to ballroom dancing classes.
It is another major step forward for the small con-gregation of about 20 that has made its mark with its Good News loan program for the working poor who need a helping hand.
“I’m so proud of St. An-drew’s,” said McNab-Brae-side Mayor Mary Camp-bell. “This church always had a vision way beyond itself.”
She said with its in-novative initiatives, the Burnstown church sets an example for other commu-nities and churches. “It’s what makes McNab-Brae-side and the Ottawa Valley so special.”
The heritage church re-ceived a federal $43,515 En-abling Accessibility Grant to fund the reconstruc-tion.
Emcee Jane Flain noted the construction of a new Burnstown church in 1899 to replace the fi rst one built about 1848 cost about $3,000. “The cost of our re-placement door alone, for this project was $3,000.”
She explained it was the dream of Jean Dennison, Harry Mayhew and Irene Robillard to have an alter-nate to the cumbersome stairs at the front of the
church, to improve access for seniors, disabled people and people with strollers.
“Harry and Jean have both passed on, but they would both be very proud today,” said Flain, thank-ing Robillard for her ef-forts to move the project forward.
“We should all be proud today as we look around at this fabulous renovation,” she added. “It is much bet-ter than was originally envisioned - with direct ac-cess and not even a ramp. Plus we built a new wash-room and gained two park-ing spots for people with disabilities.”
Flain issued a special thank-you to the federal government for the fund-ing and having confi dence in the project to allow im-provements to be made to the original plan.
Renfrew-Nipissing-Pem-broke MP Cheryl Gallant applauded the “talented people” who made the successful application and oversaw the project. “Knowing Harry Mayhew, it doesn’t surprise me he is still getting the job done,” she said.
McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell thanked the federal government for accepting that the “grass-roots” knows how best to
apply the funding. “This provides so many opportu-nities for the community,” she said. “It is money well invested.”
Flain also thanked contractor Gaye Pirie whose initial estimate for the project was made in 1998. One of his relatives walked to Burnstown from Shawville to work on the former church more than 100 years ago, she noted.
Pirie’s excellent work-manship, pride and imagi-nation kept the project on time and on budget, she said.
Flain also thanked ar-chitect Ross Huggard, tile setter Michael Connolly, painter Joy Holmes, sup-plier Glen McLeod, and project overseers Patrick Flain, Rick Armishaw and Jim Robillard.
The church is looking for a name for the base-ment room and is asking for the public to submit suggestions to Irene Robil-lard.
Flain said the church has submitted a funding application to the govern-ment for the second phase of the project, a lift to con-nect the basement to the upstairs sanctuary. Public donations are being ac-cepted for that project, she noted.

in White Lake
T’was the night before Christmas, the stars shining
bright,White Lake was all frozen, with no loons in sight,
The bass and the pickerel were dozing beneath,
and on our door hung a beautiful wreath.
The boats were all shrink wrapped or nestled in
racks,while fiesty red squirrels made delicate tracks,
At White Lake Marina we had all done our best
and now it was time for a long-deserved rest.

McNab-Braeside fi re chiefresigns to spend more family time
JOHN CARTER
The death of his father was a “wake-up” call for McNab-Brae-side fi re chief Rob Dodge.
Dodge has tendered his resig-nation as township fi re chief ef-fective Jan. 31. After 26 years as a fi refi ghter, including the last four years as fi re chief, he says it’s time to spend more time with family.
Losing his father, Bob Dodge, in March brought home the importance of family time to him. “I’m going to be spending a lot more time with family (his mother Doreen, wife Elizabeth and two children) and working around the farm,” he said, not-ing he enjoys the tranquility of the woods on his acreage west of Pine Grove.
Life has been far from tran-quil for Rob Dodge as he juggles the many responsibilities of fi re chief with a full-time job as a Renfrew County paramedic.
The demands of a fi re chief have increased dramatically since he fi rst joined the town-ship fi re department right out of college. He also served a stint with the Almonte-Ramsay Vol-unteer Fire Department before coming back to McNab about
15 years ago. He was appointed chief, replacing Glen Styles four years back. “Being a fi re chief is a full-time job … if you want to do it properly,” he said. “I was struggling to fi nd the time … and if do something I want to give it 100 per cent.”
Dodge said the role has become “extremely complex” with new fi re marshal and labour board regulations. “They affect every aspect of the fi re service.”
He noted the McNab-Braeside department has appointed fi re safety and fi re prevention offi -cers to take on some of special-ized issues fi re departments are now expected to address.
He is proud of his department, which is a role model for rural fi re departments throughout the county and Eastern Ontario.
“We’ve done a lot in the past four years,” he said. “We built on the changes that Glen (Styles) had implemented.”
The department has modern-ized its equipment and is well positioned as it looks to the fu-ture, he added.
The key to the department’s success is that “everyone works together as a team,” he said. “We have a great core team. It’s been a pleasure to serve with them.”
It is an opportune time to step down with the department run-ning well with a strong core group of dedicated fi refi ghters and offi cers, he said. “It was a tough decision, but the time to do it is when everything is work-ing well.”
Dodge said a fi re chief once told him a change at the top about every fi ve years is timely to bring in fresh ideas.
Dodge said he hasn’t decided yet whether he’ll remain with the department as a fi refi ghter.
Township council has accept-ed the resignation with “great regret” and will start the pro-cess to choose a new chief in January.

Happy new year animal loversIAN STUPP
Pet Talk
Dear readers,Looking back 2010 saw the rise and
fall of the Toronto In-Humane Soci-ety. Charges were fi led against the vet-erinarian, president and fellow board members on abuse, cruelty and wrong-ful death. Unfortunately, the courts dis-missed the case.
In December of 2010, Detroit police broke up a dog-fi ghting ring after an anonymous tip from neighbours. Of-fi cers on the scene described it as cha-otic and horrifi c. Several dogs were eu-thanized at the scene. Police said that it was a very sophisticated set-up.
Best joke of 2010. In December Mi-chael Vick stated that he had learned his lesson while incarcerated for orga-nizing and participating in a dog-fi ght-ing ring and now would like to own a dog. You have got to be kidding!
On a sad note, I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to all of you who lost a pet in 2010. It is never easy to say good-bye.
Only a true animal lover can under-stand the love, enjoyment and pleasure, they give in such a short period of time. The love of an animal is honest, com-plete and forever. There is no bond like that of a pet and its owner.
Looking forward to 2011, I have a few wishes and comments that I would like to share. I wish that all animal shelters, humane societies, etc. remain empty.
I wish all dogs and cats were spayed and neutered.
I wish that pet owners would clean up after their pets, (the fake poop and scoop is so passé).
I wish the laws protecting our pets be amended and brought up-to-date.
“It is fear and ignorance that cre-ates problems” (Cesar Milan). My wish would be that our law makers, politi-cians, etc. do not suffer from fear and or ignorance in regards to animal issues.
In the words of Josh Groban and the Polar Express, “If You Just Believe.”
I want to thank those who read what I have to say.
I believe that as a writer it is my re-sponsibility to educate, inform, enter-tain and at times anger, frustrate and irritate.
I trust that I have accomplished my goals for 2010 and look forward to 2011.
Unfortunately time does not allow me to respond to every email or phone call I receive. However, I do read and listen to every comment good, bad or indifferent. I would like to thank the Chronicle-Guide and my editor John Carter for the freedom to voice my dog-gone opinion.
From my family to yours, I wish you all a very happy New Year fi lled with health, happiness and prosperity. Now, go hug your pet!
Sincerely, Ian.
Ian owns and operates Wags & Whis-kers Pet Grooming and Puppy Kinder-garten at 118 John St. North. For com-ments or suggestions, he can be reached at 613-623-6200 or [email protected].
Renfrew-Nipissing-Pem-broke MP Cheryl Gallant is working to have a success-ful U.S. program for wound-ed veterans, ‘Paws for Pur-ple Hearts’, implemented in Canada.
The program is already the subject of a pilot project involving two CFB Petwa-wa soldiers and three dogs rescued from area animal shelters.
Gallant saw a news clip almost a year ago showing dogs being used as service animals for soldiers suffer-ing from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). “Among the special tasks the dogs are trained to do is keep strangers at a com-fortable distance from the veteran, calming rages, reminding soldiers to take medicine, and even fetch-ing the medicine.”
Her interest in the pro-gram led to the launching in June of a pilot project funded through the ‘Wound-ed Warriors’ Fund.
Gallant explained that animals can detect changes in a person’s metabolism and can warn a diabetic patients when their insu-lin blood levels are low, and when an epileptic is about to have a seizure. They can
also awaken PTSD victims from nightmares.
Paws for Purple Hearts is a fi rst-of-a-kind of program to offer therapeutic inter-vention for American mili-tary servicemen and wom-en through training service dogs. Service dog training provides service members the ability to reintegrate into civilian life.
Once training is com-plete, the service dogs are paired with veterans who have sustained mobil-ity-limiting injuries, thus building on the time-hon-ored tradition of veterans helping veterans.
In Canada, the dogs pro-vided for the pilot project were rescued dogs from the pound, thus saving two lives.
“Two soldiers, each of whom had served at CFB Petawawa, responded to the solicitation for volun-teers for the pilot project,” said Gallant. “Both are suffering from PTSD, one of whom is also wheel-chair bound,” she said.“At the end of the pilot proj-ect I was invited to meet the team. David and Ziggy are the trailblazing military veterans. Jewel, Maggie, and Thor were the three canines rescued from being euthanized at local shel-ters.
“Over the course of the project they have worked on standard obedience, and be-gun the specialized tasks of pulling Dave up out of his wheelchair, getting medi-cine, turning light switches on and off, carry the phone, and dial for emergency help.”
Now the pilot project is completed, “I will be work-ing to see this type of in-novative therapy become available to all who may benefi t from this method of treatment,” said Gallant.

By Rob BrodieOttawaSenators.comHis entire hockey life, one might
suggest, has read like the quintes-sential Ottawa story.
Born and raised in the nation’s capital, played major junior hockey with the 67’s, then drafted by the Senators … Corey Cowick admits it’s the kind of tale that isn’t writ-ten every day, with every chapter better and more exciting than the one before it.
“I guess the city likes me a little bit, right?” the 21-year-old forward said with a wide grin. “For sure, growing up, everything was Ot-tawa. I loved the Sens. I grew up with an (Alexei) Yashin jersey on my back on the outdoor rink and
got to games as often as I could. “I’ve really thrived on the
hockey community in Ottawa. It’s defi nitely an unbelievable experi-ence and it’s extremely unique. Not too many guys get to play (major) junior in their hometown, let alone hopefully playing in the NHL someday in their hometown.”
Of course, Cowick’s Ottawa hockey odyssey wouldn’t be com-plete without an appearance in the Bell Capital Cup. And yes, there is room for that minor hockey ex-perience in this story, too. Back in 2001, Cowick and his Gloucester Rangers team were among the entrants in the event’s Major Atom AAA division.
“It was pretty big,” Cowick said
in looking back. “Usually grow-ing up as a kid, when you go to big tournaments, you’re going to Toronto or you’re going to places in and around the Greater Toronto area or down to the States. But to play in one in your own backyard and to see kids from everywhere … the year I played, we had teams from Jokerit, Finland, and a lot of the big-name teams from.”
In the eyes of an Ottawa boy, nothing was bigger about it all than the chance to play at Scotiabank Place, the home of the Senators. It’s where the tournament fi nals and all-star games are traditionally played.
“That was huge, too,” he said. “As a kid, you come up to the rink and you watch all your favourite players play on it and then to play on that ice surface (yourself) was a pretty amazing experience.”
Cowick got his opportunity by earning a shot in his division’s all-star game, a contest which also involved John Tavares, who would go on to become the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Islanders. It is Cowick’s most enduring Bell Capi-tal Cup memory.
“It was the fi rst time I ever re-ally made an all-star game on that level,” he said. “We all got jerseys
and they announced your name — they made you feel really, really special. We got little gift bags. It was really a pretty cool experience. There was a skills competition and it was the fi rst time I’d ever seen one of those.
“The thing I remember was just seeing the guys I played against growing up, the guys at the top of their teams. I was never the best player on my team but I got to make it through a little bit of hard work and to wind up being there with those guys was pretty cool.”
That he might someday be drafted into the National Hockey League by the team that called Scotiabank Place home … that was far from the mind of an 11-year-old Cowick at the time.
“You’re kind of just in awe back then,” he said. “(The building) is so big and there’s nobody there, just your parents in the stands or some other players who are playing before or after you. It’s so big and you’re just kind of in awe of the spectacle that is Scotiabank Place. ”
The 2011 Bell Capital Cup wraps up with championship games on New Year’s Day, Sunday and Mon-day at Scotiabank Place.
Sens prospect living ultimate Ottawa hockey story
Toronto Maple LeafsSaturday, Jan. 1, 7 p.m., CBCAfter a promising start this season, the Maple Leafs appear headed to another season on the sidelines when the Stanley Cup playoffs begin in April. However, there have been some bright spots, most notably the play of team scoring leader Clarke MacArthur, an unheralded off-season signing. Kris Versteeg, a clutch performer for the Chicago Blackhawks during their Cup run last spring, has also been a key offensive contributor along with the likes of Phil Kessel, Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin. Veterans Tomas Kaberle and Mike Komisarek are the blue-line leaders in front of goaltenders Jean-Sebastien Giguere and Jonas Gustavsson

A year in pictures As we ring in the new year, the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide takes a look at some of the most memorable scenes captured in the past year on our pages
Our fi rst edition of 2010 contained coverage of a fast-spreading Dec. 30 fi re that destroyed a home and caused an estimated $350,000 in damage at 105 Poole St. in Arnprior. Offi cials said it appeared the blaze started in the garage of the home, but the extensive damage made it diffi cult to determine the cause.
The inaugural White Pine Festival in August was deemed a success. The Hip Belly Dancers, above, are among the many entertainers involved in the weekend event. Organizers are hoping the fes-tival will grow and improve each year. The 2011 festival runs Aug. 27-28.
In Novem-ber, during a RemembranceDay event in Ottawa, Jack and Sally Bradley of Braeside got to meet new Canadian Gov-ernor-General David John-ston, left, who lived briefl y in Arnprior as a youth.
A coyote kill contest sponsored by a local gas station/hunting outlet last spring attracted a great deal of attention, as well as many letters to the editor. This coyote was seen lop-ing along in West Carleton. Also attracting interest were several sighting of what some thought was a cougar near the Madawaska Golf Course off Highway 417. Later it was suggested the animal was a large hybrid type of cat.
Workers place a rented centrifuge
at the Arnprior sewage plant. The leasing of the centrifuge
and the sending of the plant’s
broken machine to Saskatchewan
to be repaired caused a contro-
versy, as a local machinist sug-
gested he could fi x it cheaper and
faster.
Giant hogweed plants found in White Lake in July are among several
of the noxious plants found across Renfrew
County this summer. Renfrew County Forest-
ry manager Jeff Muzzi was fl ooded with calls
after reports of the plant were confi rmed
locally and in neigh-bouring counties. Sap
from a broken stem, crushed leaf, root,
fl ower or seed that comes in contact with skin and then sunlight
can cause severe burns, blistering and painful
sores. In some cases, permanent blindness
can result. Offi cials worked to educate
the public and remove the toxic plants where
possible.

New Arnprior Mayor David Reid, with daughter and biggest fan Lauren, watches as elec-tion results come in a day late Oct. 26, after the electronic-voting system crashed late on election day, causing the casting of ballots to be extended a day.
After busting a marijuana grow-operation at 186 Pine Grove Rd. in McNab-Brae-side in January, police urged municipalities and residents to be on the lookout for suspicious activity. Indoor pot growers are looking more frequently to rural homes in which to locate their grow-ops, police said.
In a rally at the Miller Construc-
tion offi ce in Arnprior in Octo-ber, members of Friends Address-
ing Concerns Together (FACT)
- McNab-Braeside expressed con-cerns about as-
phalt plant noise and pollution. The group has
lobbied against the temporary as-phalt plant in the
Braeside Quarry and is expected
to be vocal in opposition when township council
deliberates on an application
for a permanent asphalt plant in
2011.
Renovations at Arnprior District
Memorial Hos-pital continued all year with a major upgrade
to the emer-gency depart-
ment scheduled to be fi nished in
April. It’s been an eventful year for
the hospital, with building and per-
sonnel changes and the approval
of a family health team for the area.

Rare birds tallied on Boxing Day
Classic winter conditions prevailed on this year’s Boxing Day Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count.
It was cool (-10°C at dawn, -8°C at mid-day) and windy (northwest, 15–25 km/hr). Yet, conditions were quite pleasant due to the preva-lence of sunshine.
All large bodies of water were frozen; creeks were also mostly ice-covered but not to the point of support-ing a person (just ask Ryan Zimmerling!). This resulted in a low diversity of water-fowl and a complete lack of gulls.
A poor conifer seed crop was responsible for a lack of fi nches in the woods, and woodpeckers were once again recorded in low numbers.
But not all birds were hard to fi nd; Wild Turkeys and Mallards were found in record numbers (806 and 162, respectively).
And then there were exciting fi nds. A female Red-bellied Woodpecker in Pakenham, discovered initially by Ray Holland, was the third ever for the count, and a female Red-breasted Merganser in the Madawaska River, found independently by Bruce and Ben Di Labio and David Ridgen, was a fi fth record. Single Hoary Redpolls were spotted in fl ocks of Com-
mon Redpolls near Arnpri-or and Blakeney; it was the eighth time this northern species was recorded.
My highlight came late in the day while looking for ducks in the Madawaska River. The pigeons that roost under the bridge were nervously fl ying in circles.
I looked for a hawk but none were visible. But then I scanned the St. John Chrysostom Church. There, perched on a cornice, was an immature Peregrine Falcon. Its back was pale brown, a feature of the northern tundrius race.
This exciting raptor was a new species for the count, which has roots going back to 1913. With the fal-
con, the all-time list now stands at 119 species of birds!
The following is a full summary of the Paken-ham-Arnprior Boxing Day count.
Signifi cant species and numbers are highlighted: Canada Goose 2; Ameri-can Black Duck 7; Mallard 162; Common Goldeneye 73; Common Merganser 3; Red-breasted Merganser 1; Ruffed Grouse 17; Wild Turkey 806; Bald Eagle 11; Sharp-Shinned Hawk 1; Northern Goshawk 1; Red-tailed Hawk 9; Ameri-can Kestrel 2; Peregrine Falcon 1; Rock Pigeon 708; Mourning Dove 230; Great Horned Owl 4; Barred Owl 2; Red-bellied Woodpecker 1; Downy Woodpecker 67; Hairy Woodpecker 79; Pileated Woodpecker 19; Northern Shrike 4; Blue Jay 413; American Crow 667; Common Raven 114; Horned Lark 4; Black-Capped Chickadee 1353; Red-breasted Nuthatch 68; White-breasted Nut-hatch 146; Brown Creep-er 13; Golden-crowned Kinglet 2; American Robin 1; European Starling 565; Bohemian Waxwing 890; American
Tree Sparrow 171; Dark-eyed Junco 200; Lapland Longspur 2; Snow Bunting 1250; Northern Cardinal 22; Red-winged Blackbird 1; Common Grackle 2; Pine Grosbeak 2; House Finch 36; White-winged Crossbill 11; Common Redpoll 696; Hoary Redpoll 2; Pine Sis-kin 20; American Goldfi nch 598; Evening Grosbeak 219; House Sparrow 148.
The Peregrine Falcon will likely remain here for the winter, roosting each night on the St. John Chrysostom Church. What an appropriate place for a bird of ‘pray’!

In two days, I will join my family for Christ-mas. It is a time to spread goodwill where we can, and celebrate that for which we are thankful.
While I’m there, I hope to see my parents’ old friend, François d’Orglandes.
François is an artist whose family is known for taking in less fortunate strangers for din-ner on Christmas Eve. They personify the “kindness of strangers”. They make it easier to build healthy, secure, vibrant communities.
In the same way, The Ottawa Hospital ben-efi ts from remarkable community support.
What our community leaders, philanthro-pists and, in many cases, your neighbors have achieved this year is impressive.
The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s 20/20 Campaign raised $24.5 Million for a new Cancer Centre at the General Campus, as
well as the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. The community’s contributions have made a meaningful difference.
They have allowed the centralization of nine radiation machines at the General Cam-pus; added 15 new chemotherapy chairs, for a total of 50, to the cancer program; offered more natural light and comforting clinical en-vironments to cancer patients; and provided them and their families with easy, comfort-able access to outdoor areas. All of this will help the recovery process.
There’s more. Our community has do-nated over $2 million dollars to research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. Most recently, they have made possible the acquisi-tion of CyberKnife, a revolutionary radio-sur-gery system that can eliminate the need for invasive surgery in many cases.
Soon, they will enable us to fund the in-stallation of the Canadian Forces CAREN system, a virtual reality simulator to assist the rehabilitation of Canadian Forces combat casualties, as well as the other patients.
This generosity improves the quality of care patients receive every day. Donations make a real difference. In other words, the community is the hospital’s foundation. To fi nd out more, visit www.ohfoundation.ca

Two Arnprior Central Tier 1 Junior Hockey League players will be suiting up in this year’s league all-star game set for the Bell Sensplex Wednesday, Jan. 12.
The Arnprior natives will take to the ice on opposite sides of the red line.
Pembroke Lumber Kings defenceman Ben Reinhardt will be a part of the Yzer-man Division team while centre Ryan Lowe of the Carleton Place Canadians will lace up the skates for the Robinson loop.
Reinhardt is in his fi fth year with the Lumber Kings and second as team cap-tain. The veteran CHL defenceman has three goals and 12 assists in 18 games. He has missed much of the 2010-11 campaign with a knee injury.
Lowe is Carleton Place’s leading point-getter with 15 goals and 32 assists for 47 points in 39 games as the team headed into the Christmas break.
The former Arnprior Packer’s biggest night this season came Nov. 12 when he notched a hat trick and set up the other two Canadian markers in a 5-2 win over the Cumberland Grads.

The Arnprior Packers completed the 2010 portion of the 2010-11 Eastern On-tario Junior Hockey League schedule in Lanark County Dec. 22.
The Valley Division leading Perth Blue Wings topped the Packers by a 5-3 margin for the second time in less than a week. But unlike the Dec. 19 decision at the Nick Smith Centre, the outcome of this latest match-up hung in the balance until the game’s fi nal moments.
The Packers fought back from 2-0 and 3-1 defi cits before a Ben Minkus marker 6:42 from the end snapped a 3-3 deadlock and propelled Perth to victory.
Peter McGahey added an empty net goal with 50 seconds remaining.
Riley Kane had two fi rst-period mark-ers for the Blue Wings. Gio Falsetti count-ed the third Blue Wing counter early in the middle frame.
Goals from Michael Byrne, Brock Zie-linski and Casey Doner, the latter with 10:30 remaining in the fi nal stanza, al-lowed the Packers to claw back to even terms.
Valley Division scoring leader Taylor Collins (27-21-48) collected two assists.
The Packers outshot the Blue Wings 43-39 with Perth’s Troy Anderson outlasting Matt Gagne in a good battle of goalten-ders.
“I thought we played really well,” Pack-ers coach and GM Bill Griese said. “They scored the winner with about fi ve min-utes left and then got an empty netter. We gave them all they could handle.”
As for the fi rst roughly two-thirds of the 2010-11 season, the coach is pleased with what he has seen as his team has put together a 17-11-and-2 record, good for a healthy number-two seed in the Valley Division.
“I told the guys before the game in Perth, people seem to dwell on the nega-tive, but we’ve done a lot of good things,” coach Griese added.
“I’m pleased. We have maybe the young-est team in the circuit.
“We didn’t plan it that way,” Griese observed. “The way they (young players) have played, we had to keep them around. We also have three of the top rookie scor-ers in the Valley Division,”
Arnprior’s Colin Bradbury leads Val-ley fi rst-year snipers with 39 points; fol-lowed by Casey Doner third, 27 points;
and Braedon Moffatt fourth, 26 points.Griese is also impressed with the per-
formance of another rookie, goaltender Matt Gagne, adding he could be a number one, and wouldn’t be surprised to see the Pembroke native playing Junior A hock-ey next year.
The Packers have reason to be optimis-tic with eight of their 12 fi nal regular sea-son games at home. Six of the 12 games are with the Valley division’s two bottom teams, Shawville and Stittsville. They play arch-rivals the Renfrew Wolves, three times, two of them on home ice.
Arnprior opens 2011 with two home games as the two Villes come to town.
The Stittsville Royals are at the Nick Centre Smith Friday, Jan. 7 at 8 p.m., while Shawville’s Pontiac Juniors pay a visit Sunday, Jan. 9 at 7:30 p.m.
Arnprior Packers open 2011 with two games at home
HOLIDAY SKATEThe Arnprior Figure Skat-ing Club hosted a festive family skate at the Nick Smith Centre Dec. 19.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP John Yakabuski had many people chuckling over the holidays with his singing ‘trib-utes’ to misadventures of Dalton McGuinty’s provincial Liberal government.
He sang a Christmas song ex-pressing his outrage over the government’s harmonized sales tax. The HST Carol became a You Tube hit.
Prior to that, his Backtrack Boogie included songs such as ‘Oops, I Did it Again’, ‘How Long Has This Been Going On’, and ‘Money for Nothing’.
ISSUES
The songs touched on such items as the ill-fated eco-tax, the mixed martial arts policy switch, and the proposals to ban chocolate milk and cell phones in schools.
“In a year defi ned by Liberal
scandal and backtracks, Dalton Mc-Guinty closed out the year strong, back-tracking on his all-day kindergarten pro-
gram and bloated public sector agencies in less than 24 hours,” said Yakabuski.
“It’s clear Ontario families are looking
for a change of tune. When they go to the polls next October, I am confi dent we’ll all be singing ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’.”

NO LOTTERY WIN – WHAT NEXT?The Northern Credit Union has some timely advice for the vast majority of people who have not won the lottery lately. The booklet ‘What if You Don’t Win the Lottery’ is avail-able at the Arnprior and other branches. The six-step book promotes fi nancial literacy and acts as a guide to family budgeting and fi nancial planning. It was written by Credit Union members and staff specifi cally to help people in Valley towns and rural areas in-stead of being Toronto-centric as many fi nancial planning guides are. Showing off the book, from left, are Northern Credit Union vice-president Kevin Connolly, vice-president of human resources Lisa Richter and Arnprior branch manager Wayne Lavallee.

The provincial government announced the top 10 names this week. They also include Jacob, Mat-thew, Nathan and Joshua for boys and Emma, Ava, Emily and Isabella for girls.
In its release, the province also reminds parents they can register their newborn’s birth and name online from the comfort of home.
Parents can apply for a birth certifi cate, Social Insurance Number and Canada child benefi ts, in-cluding the Ontario Child Benefi t, using the prov-ince’s online newborn registration service.

Please find me a homePlease find me a homeEach week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District
Humane Society that are up for adoption.
Please find me a homePlease find me a home
# 3637 OrsonDo you have a quiet home that would suit this shy kitty? Orson is a four-year-old neutered male who has been at the shelter since last January when he was found in White Lake. He is a quiet cat who can be shy until he knows you. Once he is comfortable with you he enjoys being petted and brushed and is quite affectionate. He gets along with other cats but would be best suited in a quiet adult home with no other pets. Orson is an indoor only cat.
# 3675 JasperThis outgoing cat loves to explore. Jasper is a
three-year-old neutered male who has been at
the shelter since March when he was found
here in town. He is an affectionate, friendly
cat who is very curious. Jasper gets along well
with other cats but can get a little rough when
playing. He would be best suited in a home with
older children and no dogs. Jasper will require
regular grooming with his long hair.
Supplies the shelter needs: non-clumping cat litter, bleach and window cleaner.
You can call the Arnprior and District Humane Society at 613-623-0916between noon and 5 p.m Monday to Saturday or visit www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca
The shelter is collecting UPC codes from all bags of Whiskas dry cat food until the end of December 2010.
United Way feeds nutrition programRenfrew County United Way is joining
forces with the Upper Canada Leger Cen-ter for Education and Training to support local student nutrition programs in Ren-frew County schools with a $20,000 contri-bution from its Strategic Priorities Fund.
The funds will be used to secure food supplies and necessary equipment to en-sure the successful introduction of the program in additional schools in 2011.
“We fully support the goals of Renfrew County Food for Learning in providing our children and youth with the knowl-edge of how important proper nutrition is to their current and long-term health prospects,” said Arnprior’s Cathi Fair-fi eld, chair of the United Way’s Funds Distribution Committee.
“Support of this critical program ad-dresses, in part, two of our strategic pri-orities – child poverty and youth.”
The Renfrew County Food for Leaning program, currently serves healthy break-fast, lunch or snacks to more than 5,000 children and youth in 48 schools and com-munity organizations in the county.
The United Way grant will enable addi-tional schools to participate in the nutri-tion program.
It has been shown that nourishment programs help to level the playing fi eld for all children and youth by reducing the negative impacts of poverty and food in-security.
Proper nutrition is fundamental to stu-dent success because students who are well nourished are less tired and are bet-ter able to concentrate on their studies. Nourishment programs also contribute to healthy development and lifelong healthy habits.
“We are thrilled to receive this sup-port from Renfrew County United Way,” said Devorah Belinsky, student nutrition program regional manager for the Leger Centre.
“Food for Learning programs are uni-versal, available to all students regardless of socio-economic status, which ensures that the nutrition programs are non-stig-matizing.”
The Upper Canada Leger Centre for Ed-ucation and Training was chosen in July as the lead agency for delivering such pro-grams in Renfrew County.
Its aim is to sponsor over 50 student nu-trition programs, reaching about 12,000 children and youth in Renfrew County.
Taking part in the United Way presentation of a grant to the Renfrew County Food For Learning, from left, are Julie Thur, Student Nutrition Program regional manager for the Upper Canada Leger Centre for Education and Training Devorah Belinsky, Natalie Martin, Jody Luckasavitch and United Way board member Cathi Fairfi eld of Arnprior. Thur, Mar-tin and Luckasavitch are Renfrew County Food for Learning co-ordinators, with Martin covering the Arnprior area.
