Counter offer madeTiffany Lepack [email protected]

News – McNab-Braeside council has made a recreation-library agree-ment counter offer to the Town of Arn-prior, a difference of about $1,000.

At a special meeting held by the McNab-Braeside council on Tues-day, Dec. 23, councillors responded to Arnprior’s six-month recreation of-fer of $79,483 (based on 12 months at

$153,966) and six-month library offer of $48,353 (based on $96,706 over 12 months).

After discussions between McNab-Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett, town-ship Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden, Arnprior Mayor David Reid and staff from both municipalities, Peckett proposed a new offer to last for 18 months for recreation and a year for library instead of half a year.

The new deal, which the McNab-

Braeside mayor hopes will be ac-cepted by Arnprior, is as follows for recreation: for 2015 McNab-Braeside will pay $163,453 and from January to June 30, 2016 another $82,952.

Peckett explained that this was based on a three per cent compounded annual increase from the amount of $154,071 the township paid Arnprior in 2013.

See TOWNSHIP, Page 5

Agreements deal Newsmaker of the Year

Derek [email protected]

News – The lack of a recreation/library agreement between neighbours McNab-Braeside and Arnprior is the Chronicle-Guide’s 2014 Newsmaker of the Year.

It’s an unusual decision to name an issue rather than a person the Newsmaker of the Year. But considering the central role the non-deal played in the Oct. 27 municipal election - the primary reason an entirely new township council swept to power - the choice was obvious.

The issue loomed huge in late 2013, but more in a theoretical sense. More than 2,000 residents signed a

petition in McNab-Braeside urging council to cancel a Jan. 1, 2014 decision to leave library and recreation agreements with Arnprior and Renfrew unsigned.

When the petition went largely ignored by council, potential council candidates saw their opening. Two members of McNab-Braeside Residents for Reading and Recreation, Brian Armsden and Mark MacKenzie, along with Tom Peckett, spoke at every opportunity about their willingness to score a deal with Arnprior. Candidates Heather Lang and Scott Brum followed suit.

They easily won spots on council.After the deal lapsed at the beginning of 2014, sports

organizations such as Arnprior Minor Hockey Associa-tion were left scrambling to cope. Some worried they might fold.

READY FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE IT A HOME!

FHF gives back to 61 families in Arnprior, McNab-BraesideTiffany Lepack [email protected]

Community – Some might call what Karen Kavanagh has done a Christmas miracle.

She brought together more than 100 people to help those in our com-munity who needed it the most this Christmas season.

Kavanagh and her family orga-nized Families Helping Families Arnprior, McNab-Braeside (FHF) and were able to support 61 local families with all the trimmings for a Merry Christmas. Last year, FHF in its first year, helped 34 families.

On delivery day, Tuesday, Dec. 23, Kavanagh’s home was buzzing with activity as she co-ordinated more than a dozen volunteer drivers (24 drivers in total over the week) with a freezer bag full of food for a Christ-mas breakfast and dinner, at least one gift per person, a $25 Walmart gift card and a bag of toiletries for each family.

As the last driver drove away, she admitted that she was exhausted but would much rather be doing what she was doing than at the mall.

“All that materialistic stuff just goes out the window because we know how Christmas has been changed for all of these families,” said Kavanagh.

Kavanagh has been overwhelmed by the compassion of the commu-nity.

“I am thrilled by the success,” said Kavanagh. “It’s given our kids that sense of helping and taking care of others.”

She is already planning on mak-ing next year’s program bigger and better.

SUPPORT WELL RECEIVED

Kavanagh received all of the fam-ily information anonymously with some families being recommended by the Arnprior and District Food Bank, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 174 Arnprior and the Neigh-bourLink Fountain.

“FHF is a seed of good will and compassion planted in our commu-nity last December. S

ince then the seed has grown into a tree of generosity and caring for

TIFFANy LepACK/MeTROLAND

On Dec. 23 deliveries were made for FHF , organized by Karen Kavanagh, centre. Also helping were the Bradette father and son team, Angela Foster Ralph, Angela Evans Miller, Kathy MacKenzie, Desiree Muir-Phillips and Mark McKenzie.

many needy families,” said Kathy Tonkin, presi-dent/chair of the Arnprior and District Food Bank.

“Last year nine food bank families were thrilled to be sponsored with food and gifts and this year a total of 15 will be assist-ed. Thank you to everyone who contributed to a truly meaningfully Christmas for so many.”

Chris Juhaz from the NeighbourLink Fountain echoed the thank-yous to Kavanagh and all of the volunteers.

The families who have donated to FHF are just as thankful as those who will be receiving the food and gifts this year.

Some of those who do-nated had this to say:

“For me, I think this is such a great thing you are doing.

I am happy to be able to help people less fortunate and give back to our com-munity. Charity begins at

home, which is Arnprior for us. Christmas is about giving.”

“This is an amazing thing you are doing, it is an awesome feeling to be able to come together and be able to bring a smile and a little comfort to families who are in need.”

“This program is very special to my heart.

Last year we were one of the families that was helped; this year we were able to give back. Thank you to every known and unknown.”

“Given an opportunity to help makes the holidays all the more worthwhile.”

Those who are receiv-ing from the FHF are also very grateful for the assis-tance during the holiday season.

Some of those on the receiving end had this to say about FHF:

“FHF have provided my family with an amaz-ing Christmas; my family

had fallen on tough times this year and thanks to the generosity of Kar-en for planning and executing FHF … Christmas will be memorable and we’ll all be together.”

“I have spent these last couple of months fretting about Christmas and wondering if I’ll be able to see those big smiles on Christmas morning.

My job as a parent is to make my children happy and provide the best memories I can.

I felt unable to do that this season and feel so defeated.

“FHF has given me room to breath through this difficult time of year, they’ve given my children smiles on Christmas morning which I will be eternally grateful for.

United Way within reach of $400,000 goalStaff

News – The Renfrew County United Way is enjoying a resurgence in interest this year.

Unlike last year when it took several exten-sions into the new year for the United Way to come anywhere close to its ambitious $500,000 goal, this year’s campaign is already close to the finish line.

The campaign goal of $400,000 has almost been achieved, the Renfrew County United Way announced on Dec. 19, the final official day of the drive. The news release noted it is the first time in several years the United Way has not had to extend the campaign deadline.

Among the recipients of last year’s campaign were the Arnprior Grove Nursing Home’s adult day program for seniors, Hospice Renfrew, the Renfrew County Sexual Assault/Rape Cri-sis Support Centre and the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families.

The 2014 campaign was launched on Sept. 17. As of Dec. 19, individual donations, pledg-es received, event proceeds and forecasted rev-enues from workplace campaigns totalled about $386,500.

“We’re so pleased with this year’s campaign and we’re confident the balance of approxi-

mately $13,500 will be achieved in the next few weeks,” said United Way Board Chair Shelley Rolland-Poruks.

“On behalf of the board of directors, I want to congratulate all of the volunteer workplace campaign co-ordinators who worked so hard this fall to exceed their goals.”

Canadian Nuclear Laboratory (CNL) em-ployees continued their outstanding track re-cord of United Way support through their an-nual workplace campaign that exceeded their goal of $125,000 by raising $141,750.

In addition, Garrison Petawawa person-nel exceeded their goal of $50,000 by raising $60,406. A number of other workplaces in-cluding Algonquin College, KI Pembroke and Defence Construction Canada exceeded their campaign goals as well.

“United Way is very proud and grateful to the hundreds of people throughout Renfrew County who have contributed this year,” said United Way executive director Gail Logan-Mc-Meekin.

“I hope their generosity and spirit will inspire other area businesses, their employees and indi-vidual residents to make a donation before the end of the year that will help us to help others less fortunate in our region,” Logan added.

I’m so thankful to be blessed with this kindness and to also be re-minded about what Christmas is all about. Thank-you.”

Kavanagh knows the success of FHF would not be possible without the support of her family and her husband Will.

“He has been by my side each and every day,” said an emotional Ka-vanagh.

“On behalf of my husband Will and our children, we would like to express a huge thank you to each and every person who helped in ways large or small with Families Help-ing Families. I know that each of our 61 families are very grateful for all that they were able to receive.

“I’ve read message after message from those who both gave and re-ceived, and the impact will be long-lasting on myself and my family.

We live in a wonderful town, we are proud to call Arnprior our home.”

In total there were well over 100 volunteers who helped organize, donate and deliver the gifts. She also acknowledges the generosity of many in the community who have helped ensure the success of FHF.

The Arnprior Optimist Club do-nated $250, Sweet and Sassy Co. held a toy drive, Jessica and Clint Pettigrew sponsored a movie at the theatre, Mobility Lab and Amy Fraser donated $1,000 (which en-abled FHF to purchase the $25 gift cards for each family), $500 was donated by Tomlinson Construc-tion, Slater’s Bakery donated all of the buns, and Victoria Oliver from Madawaska Golf Club and Dan and Nina McGuire helped to store all of the food.

From the response, it seems that Kavanagh has helped remind many of the true meaning of Christmas.

FHF gives back to community

Continued from front

Peckett also factored in an increase for 2014, even though there was no agreement in place. For library the new offer to Arnprior is for McNab-Braeside to pay $91,130 for 12 months, which also represents a three per cent compounded increase from the $85,899 paid to Arnprior in 2013.

The motion was passed with all members of council in favour.

Peckett was extremely pleased with the council after the meeting and called the coun-ter offer a huge step forward.

“Actually, I’m offering a little bit more in the recreation and a little bit less in the library, but it works out to pretty close to the same, a few hundred dollars less than what they asked for overall,” said Peckett.

When pressed as to why he made the coun-ter offer resulting in such a small difference he said he wanted to make sure things were even.

“It was a feeling that the increases for the recreation part of it were a little bit on the low

side and the increases for one-year (library) period were a little bit on the high side, so I tried to even it out,” said Peckett.

At the start of council, Peckett updated his council colleagues on the meeting he held with Reid on Dec. 19.

“In my opinion overall the presentation was excellent and it appears to be well-thought-out and an attempt to accommodate McNab-Braeside for an agreement,” said Peckett on the meeting.

He explained one of the reasons for the 18-month agreement from Arnprior’s point of view was so the town was able to set its winter recreation usage rates.

Peckett explained that according to Reid the intention is to reimburse the user groups the difference of the fees once a new agree-ment was in place.

Coun. Mark MacKenzie asked that this as-surance be placed into the motion passed. In the motion it states “any reduced rates that should apply with an agreement in place be extended to all associations by the Town of Arnprior and further that refunds are to be

issued to McNab-Braeside residents where appropriate.” MacKenzie also asked about the library hours and programs, and Peckett informed council it was Arnprior’s intention to reinstate things to the 2013 levels.

MacKenzie also asked that to be put into the motion, which was carried to read “it is understood that the service levels of the li-brary would return to the higher service levels as previously enjoyed by users with an agree-ment in place.”

MacKenzie also asked for a due date for a long-term agreement to be put in place as he suggested the two sides needed to wrap things up with a fi rm deadline.

In a separate motion, council said “that a fi ve-year agreement be established between the Town of Arnprior and McNab-Braeside and be completed by June 30, 2015.”

Peckett also noted that Arnprior was plan-ning on holding a special council meeting on Dec. 29 (after press deadline) in response to the new offer. A call was placed to Mayor Reid to confi rm the meeting date, but he could not be reached before press deadline.

Township off er tweaked to ‘even things up’

Tiff any Lepack [email protected]

News – McNab-Braeside is looking to help residents by expanding the buf-fer zone around the Miller’s Braeside Quarry operations.

On Tuesday, Jan. 6 at 6:30 p.m., there will be a public meeting in coun-cil chambers to discuss an amendment to rezone a 150-metre strip of land from extractive industrial to extractive indus-trial reserve to not allow aggregate ex-traction in a buffer between the quarry

and homes on Golf Club Road.Mayor Tom Peckett made it clear

why the township is applying for the change. “We didn’t agree with the pre-vious council’s bylaw they passed on the buffer zone,” said Peckett on Dec. 23.

The purpose of the amendment is to implement a 300-metre setback for aggregate extraction from the property line of the abutting residential proper-ties on Golf Club Road.

Peckett says the information at the public meeting is crucial for everyone.

Sports surcharges added to tensions among township residentsContinued from front

The hockey association added a $125 surcharge to township players. It didn’t go over well with hockey families and their many supporters.

McNab-Braeside council tried to quell mounting ten-sions by offering a rebate pro-gram. It was stop-gap measure that did not address the central conundrum: They took some-thing away without replacing it with anything but promises the township would look at setting up its own recreation programs.

Then in February Mayor Mary Campbell gave signs that she was feeling the pres-sure. At a breakfast presenta-tion to a business group, she said signing an agreement to pay for shared services was an “option.”

In May the tune changed back to rejecting the “process” rather than the dollar amounts. The newspaper’s headline ‘No dice’ to Arnprior’s latest reduced offer (which account-ed for population growth) showed that Campbell and the rest of council were prepared

to run for re-election on their position.

However, it would prove a steep hill to climb. Arn-prior wouldn’t do a separate deal for library. That added to council’s image problems: The perception was it op-posed health and wellness … and reading?

Then there were the dollar amounts, which to the town-ship’s advantage appeared a moving target at the best of times. But it was generally agreed that Arnprior residents paid considerably more ($146 per person) than McNab-Braeside residents (about $29) for recreation and library ser-vices.

The majority of voters in both communities appeared to agree that everyone should pay close to the same for ser-vices available to all. Even the town’s last ask was for just roughly $31 per person.

Most town voters were sat-isfi ed with their council’s han-dling of the issue, allowing the majority to cruise back to power either unchallenged or at the ballot box.

When the township com-

plained about the lack of open and transparent user numbers, most people seemed to buy Arnprior Mayor David Reid’s explanation that he was trying to be as accurate as possible.

When the township com-plained of shared agreements leading to amalgamation, Reid was silent and allowed oth-

ers to infer that paranoia has gripped his opponents. When they talked of rural culture verses town culture, he ceded the point while dismissing its relevance as failing the prag-matic test.

The central reason the issue caused emotions to fl are was not, however, on the pragmat-ics of shared services. It ran much deeper. Opponents to a deal talked about living within means, that it only benefi tted a small elite group (meaning class confl ict), and that they believe in libertarian prin-ciples of individualism and small government.

Proponents of a deal talked of pooling resources being more effective than each going it alone, of how older people whose children are no longer in organized sports are being greedy, and of the importance of health, wellness, and read-ing. That latter point proved most compelling of all.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS

John Leslie is runner-up this year for top newsmaker.

The Town of Arnprior pro-

claimed Feb. 16 ‘John Leslie Day’ as the paralympian vis-ited Arnprior one last time before leaving for the Sochi games.

A cancer survivor, Leslie enjoys tremendous support from his home town of Arn-prior and beyond for many more reasons. After losing his leg to the disease, Leslie was determined to become a source of inspiration, pride and role-modeling.

In a Petro-Canada commer-cial, he said: “I could sit in bed all day and say ‘Oh I have no leg, I can’t go do anything.’ But I’m just not that type of person.”

Within months of fi nish-ing his treatments Leslie was out biking with friends, back playing hockey. And he decid-ed to learn snowboarding. He has won three bronze medals at the Para snowboard World Cup.

He also appeared on CBC’s The Rick Mercer Report and the Canada Day noon show on Parliament Hill last July 1.

Another athlete rounds out our list of newsmakers of the year.

Six-time Olympic medal winner Clara Hughes and her entourage stopped in Arn-prior on June 30. Although it was only a few short hours, the speed skater and cyclist wowed the large crowd at Robert Simpson Park and left an indelible mark on many who participated.

On route to Canada Day cel-ebrations in Ottawa, Hughes talked of looking forward to Arnprior because it signaled the end of her 105-community cross Canada tour for men-tal health called Clara’s Big Ride.

Also on hand that day was Gov. Gen. David Johnston. He arrived early, toured town hall and the museum, shared memories of time living in Arnprior as a child, and spoke eloquently at the park about the importance of removing the stigma of mental health.

The hunt has begun for the 2015 newsmaker of the year. Will it be another issue, such as the Braeside quarry, or will someone step forward to claim the prize. Keep reading the Chronicle-Guide every week this year to fi nd out.

Teens found with pot in Arnprior RIDE checkNews – An Arnprior man was

charged with impaired drivers and three area youth were found with marijuana in their vehicle in two in-cidents on the week prior to Christ-mas.

Renfrew OPP report that the 59-year-old Arnprior man was arrested and charged after police responded to a call about a pick-up truck in the ditch on Calabogie Road on Tuesday, Dec. 16 at 1:50 p.m. Following breath tests at the OPP detachment, the man was charged with driving with over 80 mgs of alcohol in his blood.

He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on Jan. 21. OPP Constable Ryan Besner in-vestigated.

During the week before Christmas Renfrew and Arnprior OPP officers participated in 45 RIDE spot checks throughout the detachment area. Of-ficers are continuing to randomly set up the Reduce Impaired Driving Ev-erywhere (RIDE) checks to ensure motorists are obeying the laws and driving sober.

DRUG CHARGES

One of those RIDE checks result-ed in three teenagers each facing a charge after police seized a quantity of marijuana from them. OPP report the young people were stopped at a RIDE spot check on White Lake Road in Arnprior at 11:55 p.m. Sat-

urday, Dec. 20.A 17-year-old, 16-year-old and

15-year-old male were each charged with possession of marijuana over 30 grams. The youths, all from Mis-sissippi Mills, will appear in Youth Court in Renfrew on Feb. 9.

OPP Const. Ken Rusaw investi-gated.

In the week before Christmas, Renfrew and Arnprior OPP officers responded to 234 calls for service. Included were seven domestic dis-pute calls.

An arrest warrant was issued for one man for four counts of criminal harassment and one charge of utter-ing threats.

OPP are also urging motorists to

adapt to weather conditions. Freez-ing rain Dec. 23 resulted in at least one vehicle on Highway 17 between Arnprior and Renfrew sliding off the road and flipping on its side in the ditch.

STAY OFF THE ICE

OPP issued a reminder Dec. 22 that winter conditions have not been suitable yet for ice to be sufficient to support people.

Everyone is asked to stay off frozen waterways until there is a minimum of four inches (or 10 cm) of clear hard ice. Four inches is the minimum recommended thickness to support ice fishing, walking or cross

country skiing on the ice.As of Dec. 22, the weather had not

cooperated in producing enough ice and rain was forecast for later in the week.

“Remember no ice is without some risk,” warn the OPP. “Always be sure to measure the ice prior to going out for winter activities.”

TEEN SAFE

The Renfrew OPP issued a thank you to the public for their assistance in locating a missing local teenaged girl. Police report that Marydith White, 15, missing since Dec. 13, was located on the evening of Dec. 21 and is safe.

News – Gasoline prices might be going down, but not so natural gas costs.

Enbridge Gas Distribution has received approval from the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for higher rates effective Jan. 1. The rates are approved on an interim basis, as the government is still asking for public input into the rate boost application.

Residential customers will see an increase of about 6.5 per cent or about $63 a year ($5.25 per month) if the new rates become permanent as widely expected. As a result, the total bill for a

typical residential customer will be about $1,034 a year. In January, there will be a one-time refund of about $16 to reflect the difference between 2014 interim rates and final approved rates.

Enbridge maintains that natural gas continues to provide the best value to customers, with the typi-cal customer’s total annual bill still less than it was 10 years ago.

It explains that the increase is primarily due to higher transportation and delivery costs, and a cost adjustment. The increased transportation and de-

livery costs (about $37 per year) come for the most part from a recent decision of the National Energy Board (NEB) approving a settlement agreement that facilitates long-term access to abundant and potentially cheaper natural gas supplies closer to Ontario.

The cost adjustment is for the difference be-tween the forecasted gas supply costs and the ac-tual prices paid for gas supply.

Customers can find energy efficiency tips at en-bridgegas.com.

Our editorial policy

LETTERS

No doubt incrementalism is the Ca-nadian way. And talk in Arnprior of developing a park here and hoping

for retail developers there has bought council some time. Too much time seems the general feeling. It is clear that folks expect big things in 2015. Council has a lot to prove, beginning today.

Our election campaign suggestion of a campground at Bell Park didn’t generate much talk among candidates. Perhaps some felt it would upset a handful living nearby, so better to avoid doing what is in the best inter-ests of the whole. Maybe others avoided it be-cause the idea is outside their comfort zone, although other valley towns have them.

Still others, Mayor David Reid in particu-lar, cited the red tape as a possible problem. None will be found guilty of offering an au-dacious vision for our town.

Reid is enthusiastic about a parcel of land that runs parallel to William Street. It will likely be converted into a park with a trail in place of the former railway tracks. It may

even contain a new town hall and cenotaph. He says it will bring cyclists - a wildly

popular form of activity - from the Renfrew direction. If we are trying to attract tourists from that direction, using a trail alone with no place and reason for them to stay overnight, we are aiming lamentably low.

There is no reason Arnprior cannot become a tourist town at least on par with Merrickville (which, incidentally, has a downtown camp-ground). The all-important retail develop-ments will come, now that residential growth is booming. Council will certainly want credit for luring them here, if only because it is suf-fering the blame for the absence. The retail side will largely take care of itself.

However, attracting tourists is important. Luring outside dollars and creating a vibrant atmosphere that sends visitors back to the city (yes, the key is to focus on the city, not Ren-frew county) boasting about their new discov-ery - a town just up the 417, where two rivers meet - is the challenge for this year. What is the bold vision for making it happen?

To the Editor:Have you seen the very

rosy and upbeat TV commer-cials promoting the proposed Energy East Pipeline that tra-verses some 4,600 kilometers from Alberta’s oil sands to re-fi neries and ports in St. John, New Brunswick?

It’s hard to debate some of

what they depict. We certainly lead a grand lifestyle with all sorts of products and benefi ts that are derived from oil.

They imply that, since we get all this good stuff from oil and its various by-products, this is all we need to know in order to feel good about the pipeline that is on the table.

But, of course, there is a fl ip side, and, of course, it is not so rosy.

A dark side of the fl ip side could go something like this: The new pipeline pops a giblet under or near where it crosses the Madawaska River at Stew-artville, some 15 bird kilome-ters upstream from Arnprior.

Energy East pipeline proposal deserves robust discussionBefore it is patched, a mil-

lion or so gallons of diluted bitumen (a very heavy crude oil mixed with a cocktail of chemicals to make it fl owable) fi nds its way into the River. Much of it sinks to the bottom where it becomes a nightmare to clean up. Very unlikely, yes, but defi nitely possible. In fact, a spill of this size occurred in a tributary of the Kalamazoo River in Michigan about four years ago. A 35-mile section of the river was closed for three years and the clean-up is still going on.

We drink the water from the Madawaska in Arnprior.

The river is a relatively clean showpiece for the town.

To whatever degree, the pipeline represents a risk to its well-being. And this is only one example of a myriad of possible oil spill scenarios. (The pipeline crosses hundreds of waterways including the Mississippi and Bonnechere close to home.)

We know that, despite the assurances of proponents, oil spills happen and will contin-ue to happen.

Some people have pointed out the ‘all risk, no reward’ as-pect of the pipeline to our lo-cal economy and well-being.

Others are not so convinced.Perhaps what would be

helpful is some robust discus-sion and community partici-pation in the fi nal word as to whether we welcome or are opposed to this pipeline.

To this end, there are many websites (the Ontario Energy Board has a helpful one), some community groups are forming, petitions can be found, and the OEB is host-ing a ‘community discussion’ on Jan. 22, from 6 to 9:30 p.m. at the Brookstreet Hotel, 525 Legget Drive, Kanata.

Legion to hold New Year’s LeveeJanet TobioArnprior Legion

Community – Well, what happened? Where did Decem-ber go?

Last I remember, we were getting ready for the Santa Parade. It’s done, it’s gone and the awards have been presented already. I feel like RVW (Rip Van Winkle). Don’t close your eyes in this town … you’ll miss a lot!

Many thanks to all who participated in the parade in so many ways, and to those who were winners, congratu-lations! Your great efforts are appreciated by all.

Here comes Christmas. Hope I don’t miss it … I’ve

been really really good this year. Well, always actually, but really good this year.

I did miss the Big Jam Ses-sion Christmas Party. Sure feel bad about that but heard every-one had a fantastic time. Be sure to check the’ What’s Hap-pening’ page for our changes.

There were no hamburgers on Boxing Day. I know it’s sad, but we all had to go spend our Christmas presents.

And then, New Year’s Le-vee. Doors open at 1300 hours (1 p.m.) in the hall. There will be some of the usual liquid refreshments, the bar will be open for those who don’t drink ‘milk’, and also a nice light lunch. A few honours and pre-sentations will be made.

Be sure to join us and sup-port the people who make things happen at the local Le-gion. It’s all for you.

January will soon be with us and let’s hope it brings a good Canadian winter for all those folks who like the win-ter sports, and maybe some-one has learned how to avoid letting snow or ice fall on the roads and sidewalks. Deadline is ticking away here, so best push the send button.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all the best to everyone for a pleasant holiday season, from the ex-ecutive, staff and members of Branch #174.

Oh, and Parade says ‘Woof woof to all’!

NEW YEAR’S EVE 9AM-6PMNEW YEAR’S DAY CLOSED

Mother’s superstitions extended to New Year’s visitorsLifestyle - As far as Father was

concerned, the whole idea was pure nonsense.

Imagine! Not letting anyone through the door of the house on New Year’s day, until somebody entered who was fair of hair, and preferably fair of skin!

But Mother was adamant. She had talked about it so much

that I was sure if a black haired neighbour came knocking, he would be left standing in the cold until, as Father said, “hell froze over.”

And so, I silently prayed that Uncle Alec would come across the 20-acre fi eld that New Year’s day before any-one with black hair made a call. His fair hair was streaked with silver, and I was sure he would be welcomed in as our fi rst visitor of the New Year.

But that was unlikely. It had been snowing for three days,

and everyone on the Northcote Side road was pretty well stuck in their own homes.

\Now, the reason Mother said it was of the utmost importance that someone fair of head be the fi rst through the door on New Year’s Day was that she knew for a fact if our fi rst visitor was one with black hair it was a sure sign that the entire year ahead would be one of doom, gloom and very likely send all of us to the poor house! But if someone with fair hair and skin was the fi rst through the door, then the coming year would be one of prosperity and good health.

And that is the reason that year, when New Year’s Eve came and passed, and no visitor had come to call, at the crack of dawn on New Year’s Day, Mother climbed the stairs, clomped by Audrey’s and my bed in her home-made felt slippers, on her way to the back bedroom, and shook Everett from a deep sleep.

Even Father had yet to climb out of bed, it was so early.

“Everett, you have to get dressed and go outside and come back in

before your Father sets out for the barns,” she said in a loud whisper that could be heard through the entire upstairs.

Everett was the only one in the family as fair as a lily, with a swatch of blond hair, poker straight, but at least it wasn’t black or red like the rest of us in the family!

Poor Everett. He knew exactly what he had to do.

By this time Father was up and dressed, and Mother’s next chal-lenge was to make sure if he went to the barns, he wouldn’t set foot in the house before Everett, because his black hair was sure to send us all into the poor house, and we’d become affl icted with goodness knows any number of ailments during the com-ing year.

Everett still full of sleep, crawled into his overalls, pulled on his socks, and headed for the kitchen.

I followed him downstairs, and he looked for all the world like he

was about to fall over, still only half awake.

He didn’t even bother to put on his coat or hat, just slammed his feet into his gum-rubbers, opened the back door, stepped out onto the snow cov-ered stoop, turned around and walked right back into the kitchen, shucked off his boots and headed back up-stairs.

It certainly looked like it wasn’t the fi rst time he had done the job!

With daylight just starting to creep in, the kitchen had an eerie glow, and to me it seemed like the middle of the night. I sat in the rocking chair by the stove, where Father sat to read the Ot-tawa Farm Journal, as I tried to warm up in the still ice-cold house.

I heard Father stomping his feet on the outside step, and saw him slowly open the kitchen door, look-ing down at Everett’s footsteps in the snow. Figuring it was safe to come in, he shook his head, as if to say, “Well, that’s over for another year.”

The New Year’s ritual wasn’t the only one of Mother’s concerns when it came to signs and omens ... such as a toss of salt over her left shoulder if some was spilled from the shaker; a dropped dishcloth stayed on the fl oor until someone other than the person who dropped it picked it up.

It was often hard for me, at such a young age to tell if something was a good or a bad sign.

All I know is that, regardless of the signs or omens Mother believed in, and which Father said were the crazi-est notions he ever heard of, none of them did much to ease the hardships of those Depression years all around us out in Renfrew County.

Note: May I take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you God’s richest blessing for the coming year.

Paying it forwardThe staff of J.P. Mulvihill & Son Insurance ‘paid it forward’ on Dec. 17

with a $500 donation towards the ‘Angel Tree For the Love of a Senior’ at Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program. Seniors at Home executive director Dennis Harrington accepts the donation, from left Erin McCormick (nee Mulvihill), Matt Mulvihill, Dennis, Christal Veleke (Mulvihill employee) and Kevin Mulvihill. The Angel Tree is de-signed to assist seniors (age 60 and over) and those with special needs (no matter the age) with items such as hot meals, frozen meals, foot care, transportation and home help.

Sports – The West Carleton Nordic Ski Club offers a wonderful winter experience for you and the greater West Carleton community.

The cross-country ski trails stretch through 15 kilometres of beautiful untouched forests with the exception of deer tracks, bunny trails and the serenity and beauty of surrounding nature.

Situated along the Ottawa River and within the Fitzroy Harbour Pro-vincial Park, the trails are profes-sionally groomed for 10 kilometres of skate-ski trails and 15 kilometres of classic trails. The trails are profes-sionally groomed so conditions are always as optimal as possible.

Skiers can count on re-grooming after signifi cant accumulations of snow, usually fi ve centimetres, and quite often grooming is completed on a Friday evening in preparation for heavier skier traffi c on weekends.

Thanks to the earlier than usual snow this year, there are already 10

kilometres of trails groomed for ski-ers’ enjoyment.

The club has been in operation for 21 years and is volunteer-run.

Thanks to the hard work of volun-teers, it offers a very affordable ski experience for the whole family.

The seasonal family rate is $95, adults is $35 and youth $18.

In addition, if you prefer to drop in for an occasional ski, you are more than welcome.

Please sign-in at the parking lot and kindly contribute $5 towards keeping these trails the best around.

You can register online at the club’s website at www.wcnsc.com.

Check out the website. It will pro-vide all the information needed for ski conditions, when the trails were last groomed, weather conditions and registration information.

Why not start your New Year’s resolutions here.

This is an affordable sport for the whole family and an excellent way to get a great work-out while enjoying the great outdoors.

MALCOLM ROSE

Let it snow, we can still bowlThe carpet bowling group at the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre held its annual Christmas get-together Dec. 15. Among those attending, from left, are Helen McHardy, Patricia Rose (winter co-ordinator), San-dra Bos, Marion Murdoch, Shirley Carmichael, Jim Bos, Evelyn Hubbard, Cheron Campbell, Jennifer Dugal, Rob Jennings, Karen Wilson, Connie Reitsma (summer co-ordinator), Gail McMillan (treasurer), Greta and Bob Vance, Terry Boland and Sandra Fletcher (logistics). The winning skip who took the photo is Malcolm Rose. The members pass on “good wishes” to all members past and present, and future. The group, which plays during the non-lawn bowling months from late September to the end of April, would welcome more members to rejuvenate its ranks. They note that carpet bowls is a convenient way to keep the hand-eye co-ordination exercised during the winter months when the outdoor greens are unavailable for play. If you would like to come and bowl, they play at 1 p.m. every Monday and Friday. The new season begins Jan. 5.

“fitness for the family”

Lifestyle - While it may

seem like spring has just

sprung, summer will be here

before you know it. According

to the education experts at Ox-

ford Learning, that means that

it’s time to start thinking about

summer learning plans.

“Summer learning is a criti-

cal – and often overlooked

– part of students’ learning.

By planning for summer learn-

ing now, parents will help

their children avoid the sum-

mer learning brain drain,” says

Nick Whitehead, founder and

CEO of Oxford Learning.

He offers these fi ve reasons

why planning for summer

learning is so important:

1. Summer is going to be

here soon. Spring may have

just begun, but before long,

students will be studying for

exams and handing in their fi -

nal term projects, which means

that it’s not too early to think

about what kids are going to be

doing this summer.

2. Summer can undo what

children are learning right

now. Without maintaining

learning momentum and study

skills over the summer break,

students easily forget every-

thing they’re working hard to

learn right now, which means

that next year, students need

to repeat the same workbooks

and materials they are learning

right now.

3. Summer can have an im-

pact on how children learn next

year. After a summer off, it can

take kids up to three months

to get back into the swing of

learning. That represents a

huge amount of wasted learn-

ing opportunities, and it means

that students are not up to their

potential from as early as the

fi rst day back to class.

4. Kids want to learn in the

summer. Research in summer

learning studies shows that 56

per cent of students want to be

involved in a summer program

that helps them keep up with

summer schoolwork or prepare

for the next grade.

5. Summer programs fi ll up

fast. Most programs are already

accepting applications and tak-

ing reservations for summer

enrolment. Schools, camps,

and supplemental tutoring fa-

cilities are no exception.

Reasons to be thinking

about summer now

Lifestyle - Specialized sum-mer camps are now allowing young artists to develop their passion on an intensive basis.

Summer art camps offer classes which are both educa-tional and lots of fun. Children can develop their skills and broaden their interests while being supervised by compe-tent instructors, all in an enter-taining atmosphere.There are many different

facets to the world of visual arts. At summer camp, young people can learn about kinds of media that they have fewer op-portunities to explore at home or school, such as China ink, pastels, charcoal, oil paint, and clay. They acquire theoretical notions and draw inspiration from the great masters of the art world. Some art camps even organize an exhibit at the end of the camp so that friends and family can see all the cre-ations.

Theatre is a great way to break out of one’s shell. At summer camp, children will be able to set aside their shy-ness and learn to express themselves in public. They will improve their

memorization skills and they will also be able to study dif-ferent acting methods.Dramatic art includes many

behind-the-scenes activities, and during theatre camp chil-dren will be introduced to many of them, including lights and sound, costumes, makeup, and stage design.The performing arts are

also a great way for children to

discover their talents, develop a work ethic, and build self-esteem. All branches of the performing arts teach students about teamwork.At a performing arts camp,

children are given the oppor-tunity to work on a project throughout their stay and then have the very rewarding expe-rience of presenting it in front of family and friends.

ADHS fairs well on court, ice early in winter sports season Sports – With a successful

fall sports season now in the books, the Arnprior and District High School (ADHS) Redmen are back in action.

This past fall ADHS the se-nior boy’s football team and the senior girl’s rugby team both won championships, as did the junior girls basketball squad.

Now all eyes are on boy’s basketball, girl’s volleyball and girls and boys hockey as they compete in the Upper Ot-tawa Valley High School Ath-letic Association (UOVHSAA) leagues

BASKETBALL

The senior boy’s team has hit the court three times this season and hasn’t faired too well yet, winning one of three games.

In their opening game against Mackenzie Community School (MCS) on Dec. 4, the Redmen lost a close game 38-37.

The top scorer for ADHS was Brody Fiegal with 12 points.

On Dec. 8, ADHS hosted Fellows High School (FHS) and lost by more than 20 points, 62-40.

Liam Dey had 16 points for ADHS and Thomas McMann added 13.

ADHS hosted Centre Sco-laire Catholic Jeanne-Lajoie (ESJL) on Dec. 16 and beat them 51-25, Evan Shriver had 16 points, Thomas McMann added 12.

The junior boy’s team on the other hand is having a great season so far, winning their fi rst three games of their season.

On Dec. 4, Matthew Smith scored 11 points as the Red-men defeated MCS 42-22 and on Dec. 8, ADHS won 45-26 over FHS. Top scorers for Arn-prior were Liam Hamel with 18 points and Justin Smith with 12.

On Dec. 16 against ESJL at home, the junior team won 65-13.

The high scorer for the Red-men was Justin Smith with 18 points. Connor Smith and

Ryland Mosely each had 10 points.

The next games after the hol-iday break have ADHS hosting Bishop Smith Catholic High School (BSCHS) on Jan. 6 and on Jan. 7 they travel to Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI).

HOCKEY

The boy’s hockey team played two games on Dec. 9 at the Ma-te-way Athletic Cen-tre in Renfrew and lost both games.

ADHS fell 4-0 against Ope-ongo High School (OHS) and Madawaska Valley District High (MVDHS) beat the Red-men 4-1.

All teams in the UOVHSAA will now hit the ice on Wednes-day, Jan. 14 at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior for a series of games.

The Redmen will face BSCHS at 8:30 a.m., FHS at 10 a.m. and Valour High School at 1 p.m.

The girl’s hockey team split

their open series at the Pet-awawa Civic Centre on Dec. 10. ADHS started off the day defeating St. Joseph’s Catholic High School (SJHS) 2-1 and later fell 7-3 to Opeongo.

The girls next hit the ice at the Ma-te-way Athletic Centre in Renfrew on Jan. 8, when they will face FHS and ESJL. The team will play in Arnprior on Feb. 11 at the Nick Smith Centre when they will face RCI and BSCHS.

VOLLEYBALL

The senior girl’s volleyball team is ‘setting’ up their season with a 1-1 start.

On Dec. 2, SJHS defeat-ed ADHS 3-0, but Arnprior bounced back on Dec. 9, de-feating MCS 3-1 at home.

The junior team has been spiked with two losses as they fell 3-0 to SJHS and 3-1 to MCS.

On Jan. 6, both the juniors and seniors head to Opeongo for matches.


The Arnprior senior boys basketball team went into the Christmas break on a high note Dec. 16, defeat-ing Centre Scolaire Catholic Jeanne-Lajoie (ESJL) 51-25 on its home court as Evan Shriver scored 16 points and Thomas McMann added 12.

Packers split weekend gamesStaff

Sports - The Arnprior Ju-nior B Packers finished their pre-holiday games with a win and a loss.

Not what they were hoping for, but the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League team had a week to think about it as they were off the ice from Dec. 21 to 27.

At the Nick Smith Centre on Friday, Dec. 19, the Pack-ers defeated the Clarence Beavers in a shoot-out 5-4.

The Packers started out strongly in the first period with two goals, the first from Corey Chaplin on the power play assisted by Luc Des-champs and Casey Doner at 9:46.

Then at 16:49, James Prebble added to the lead as-sisted by Brandon Mendham and Isaac Perreault.

But the second period saw the Beavers explode with four unanswered goals.

The Packers answered back in the third period with

goals from Robert Darnowski assisted by Patrick McGrath and Liam Killeen and 10 seconds later Mendham tied it up assisted by Darnowski and Killeen.

In the shoot-out, Packers goal scorers were Dallas Farr and Luc Deschamps.

The Packers were 1/6 on the power play and Dominic Plaschy made 28 saves for the win.

Packers three stars were Mendham, Chris Deschamps and Prebble.

ALMONTE 5 PACKERS 4

On Saturday, Dec. 20, the Packers travelled to Almonte to face the Thunder and fell 5-4.

The game was tied 1-1 af-ter the first with Packer John McLean scoring first assisted by Luc Deschamps and Mi-chael McGrath.

In the second period, the Thunder scored three goals and the Packers answered

with two markers by McLean and Luc Deschamps.

The Packers could only unwrap one more pre-Christ-mas gift at 15:21 of the third period scored by Luc Des-champs on the power play assisted by Mendham and Doner.

The Packers were 2/7 on the power play while the Thunder were 4/6.

Matteo Scapillati made 19 saves in net for the Packers in the loss.

NEXT GAMES

The Packers next home game is this Friday, Jan. 2 when they host the Stittsville Rams at the Nick Smith Cen-tre at 8 p.m.

They travel to Stittsville for the second of the home-and-home series on Sunday, Jan. 4 at 2:30 p.m.

The Packers sit in third place in the Valley Division with a record of 15-11-1, four points behind Stittsville.

Did you know that women are doubly a�ected by Alzheimer’s disease? They outnumber men living with the disease and more often than not shoulder the responsibility of caring for a family member with it. You know these women. They are the special women in your life – mothers, wives, sisters, grandmothers, and friends.

That’s why this January during Alzheimer Awareness Month, the Alzheimer Society is joining our colleagues across the country to launch a nationwide campaign to get Canadians talking about Alzheimer’s disease. We want women to take action, be Alzheimer’s savvy, know the warning signs and take steps to reduce their risk – not only for themselves but for those they care about.

Many of the brightly clad participants in the third annual Solstice Walk and Run pose for a photo at Galilee prior to heading out into the cold.

Winter welcomed with Solstice Run, fellowship at GalileeAndy Kalnins

News – The night of the Dec. 19 was technically a couple of days be-fore the true Winter Solstice, but that did not defer almost 60 walkers and runners from participating in Arnpri-or’s annual Solstice Walk and Run.

It marked the third Solstice Walk and Run that raises funds for Galilee Centre and also provides food for the Arnprior and District Food Bank.

A stranger coming to Galilee for the first time and looking into the Oak Room at about 5:45 p.m. would have seen a dizzying array of run-ners decked out as elves, Christmas trees, assistants to Santa Claus, at least one Wise Man, dancers and some characters less clear. The running lights and reflective gear that the pru-dent night runner wear were replaced by glittering tinsel and battery-pow-ered Christmas lights.

The serious pre-race concentra-tion and imaging of the run to come that takes place in summer runs was replaced by laughter, giddiness and barely controlled mayhem.

But by 6 p.m. all were outside in the clear and brisk minus-10 Ottawa Val-ley air waiting for the start.

After a brief safety message and a Solstice blessing, the walkers and run-ners hit the sidewalks and streets. There was a choice of two distances: 2.5km or a 5-km route.

Both had two obligatory compo-nents. The first was a double crossing of the Madawaska River (using the bridge was acceptable).

The second was the mandatory hot chocolate stop at East Side Ma-rio’s. The restaurant very graciously offered free hot chocolate for the participants. Not only was the hot bev-erage very tasty, but the brief stop in the warmth made the return to Galilee

that much easier.Once back at Galilee,

finishers were presented with medallions by Galilee board member Reg Gaten-by and then went inside for warmth and the special Galilee Solstice cider.

Then all sat down for a meal of Lentil soup, Cae-sar salad, chili, bread and the one-of-a-kind Galilee carrot cake. Some runners were heard to say that this puts the big Ottawa Run post run snacks of a stale

half bagel to shame.As the meal wound

down, there were prizes given for best costumes and prowess in answering skill-testing questions on Christmas.

The evening concluded in the Velvet Room with the consumption of more cider and the traditional singing of Christmas Carols.

As people slowly packed up their belongings, there was a sense of an evening well spent.

News – Did you get new electronics for Christ-mas and don’t know what to do with the old stuff?

Well, the Arnprior Figure Skating Club and On-tario Electronic Stewardship (OES) can help with your disposal dilemma.

The figure skaters and the OES are hosting a pub-lic collection event in Arnprior in a couple of weeks to divert electronic waste from local landfills.

On Jan. 16-17, the general public can drop off any old or unwanted electronic waste such as com-puters, printers, MP3 players, cameras, telephones, TVs, VCRs, DVD players and recorders, radios, etc. for recycling at the Nick Smith Centre parking lot

The drop-off times are 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 16 and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Jan. 17.

CLOTHING ACCEPTED

At the same time the community can drop off any gently used clothing items for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation of Ontario, which the figure skaters will gladly accept and pass onto their organization.

For more information on the depot, call 613-622-0133.

Lifestyle - Have you ever fallen through the ice and landed in frigid water, or made a snowball in your bare hand?

If so, you know just how cold those expe-riences can be. And if you haven’t, imagine walking barefoot on ice. I guarantee the experience would be most unpleasant, and soon your toes would turn black and fall off.

In winter, heat loss is a major problem, and extremities are a major source of loss. The greater the differ-ence in temperature between an animal and its surround-ing environment, the greater the amount of heat loss, and the more its body has to work to replace that heat.

When the body cannot keep up to the loss, it undergoes hy-pothermia.

Yet, Beavers and Muskrats swim in ice-cold water, and gulls and ducks stand on ice for hours on end. And all of those animals seem to have their extremities intact. So how do they do it?

One might think that those animals have some sort of Thinsulate covering on their feet. Or that they pump lots of hot blood into their ex-tremities to keep them from freezing.

In actual fact nei-ther of those solutions are employed.

What they actu-ally do might come as no small surprise. In winter, many animals lower the temperature of their feet. In fact they keep them so cold that their blood hovers only a few de-grees above freezing.

This feat is accom-plished by a remark-able structure called the rete mirabile or “wonderful net,” a counter-current heat

exchanger that is lo-cated at the base of each leg and, in the case of mammals, the tail.

The “net” consists of an interwoven net-work of arterioles and veinules, small branches of the main blood vessels that deliver blood to and from the legs and feet. The arterioles carry warm, oxygen-rich blood while the vei-nules carry cold, de-oxygenated blood.

In the net the dif-ferent blood vessels, which contain blood flowing in opposite directions, touch each other, and the arteri-oles lose their heat to the veinules.

Because of this “counter-cur ren t” heat exchange, cold blood arrives at the extremity and warm blood is delivered to the heart.

When an extrem-ity’s temperature is lowered to that of its surroundings (or falls even lower than it), no heat is lost. Unfrozen water is usually be-tween zero and plus f o u r degrees C e l -

sius, so a duck’s feet kept at plus two de-grees lose no heat!

For Beavers, the wonderful net reduces the amount of heat that would be lost through their tail by more than 90 per cent!

But the wonder-ful net is not always needed. In summer, an animal faces the risk of overheating, not freezing. For that rea-son, blood is pumped not through the won-derful net but around it, which allows more hot blood to reach the extremity, elevating its temperature.

Because the ex-tremity is warmer than its surroundings, heat is lost, and the animal cools down.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a wonder-ful net, so we must compensate by wear-ing heavy socks and warm boots.

But then, not al-ways is having cold feet a bad thing!

In Loving Memory of Glen Bresson

August 3, 1950 – December 24, 2011

I said a prayer for you today,And know God must have heard;

I felt the answer in my heart,Although He spoke not a word.

I didn’t ask for wealth or fameI knew you wouldn’t mind;

I asked for priceless treasures rare,Of a more lasting kind.

I prayed that He’d be near to you,Now that you’ve gone away;

To grant you all of His blessings,And His light to show your way.

I asked for happiness for you,In all things great and small;

But that you’d know His loving care,I prayed for most of all.

Who both never grew old; Their smiles were made of sunshine,

Their hearts were solid gold.Their eyes were bright as shining stars,

Both their cheeks rose coloured you see; We had a wonderful mother and father,

That’s the way it will always be. So those we love don’t go away,They walk beside us everyday;

Unseen, unheard, but always near,Still loved, still missed and very dear!

Sadly missed and never forgotten,Love your family

God gives us each a gift of life to cherish from our birth. He gives

us friends and those we love to share our days on earth. He watches

us with loving care and takes us by the hand. He blesses us with countless joys and guides the

lives we’ve planned.

Then, when our work on earth is done, He calls us to His side, to

live with Him in happiness where peace and love abide. Although it’s been 1 year now since God called

you home, we still miss you just the same but feel so blessed to have you

with us for 84 wonderful years.

Love always dad, Mike and Betty

Everything Music Food Drive marks seventh yearSherry [email protected]

Community – Music lovers have a chance to keep the holiday festivities going and give the Renfrew and District Food Bank a boost at a Saturday, Jan. 3 event at Rocky Mountain House in Renfrew.

There is no cover charge for the seventh an-nual Everything Music Food Drive, but organiz-ers are asking attendees to bring non-perishable food or monetary donations for the food bank.

Mill Music in Renfrew will also be accepting donations leading up to the show, which fea-tures a host of talented, young performers.

JD ST. MICHAEL RETURNS

The event’s founder, well-known local DJ JD St. Michael, moved to Vancouver last year but will be home for the holidays to host the event and he is looking forward to helping out his hometown and catching up with old friends.

“Every year around Christmas time I think

of how lucky I am to live in such a great coun-try and have so many awesome friends,” said St. Micheal. “That is why I give back to the community and think of the less fortunate dur-ing the holiday season.”

The idea for the food drive event came about when St. Michael worked at a local bar and wanted to do something to help. He moved to Ottawa several years ago, but the tradition con-tinued.

“After I moved to Ottawa I didn’t have a bar residency in town any more, so this group of

friends joined together for the last three years to add some live music to the mix and continue the tradition of helping the food bank during the Christmas season,” said St. Michael.

Live music begins at 9 p.m. and show-goers are welcome to come by around 6 p.m. and join organizers and performers for dinner, said St. Michael. He will deliver both a DJ and acoustic set and other featured performers include Yan-Nick Michaud, Nicole Papousek, Jessica Bru-nette, Tyler Johnston, Mark Hay, Shag-E and Cody Labombard.

Blood donor clinic next week in townTiffany Lepack [email protected]

Community – It’s in you to give, blood that is.

And your chance to donate blood in Arnprior is coming up next week.

A blood donor clinic will be held at the Nick Smith Centre, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Arnprior, on Wednesday, Jan. 7 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. and 5 to 6:30 p.m.

“There is a continued need for blood in our great country,” said Pa-mela Mullins, director of donor re-lations at Canadian Blood Services (CBS). She notes that people find it harder to donate during the busy holi-day season.

“We are going to have more of a challenge to get donors after the holi-day season,” said Mullins. “People are still in need and if they can spend a little time and make a donation, that

donation will save someone’s life.”Mullins says the clinic always wel-

comes walk-in donors, but if people would like to secure a certain time during the clinic hours, they are en-couraged to make an appointment.

To book an appointment online, visit www.blood.ca or call 1-888-236-6283.

STRIKE LOOMING?

The Arnprior blood donor clinic may be just in time.

More than 800 employees of Cana-dian Blood Services in Ontario have set a Jan. 8 strike deadline and warn that concessions sought by manage-ment pose a serious risk to the future safety of the blood system.

However, a strike isn’t inevitable as contract talks between the union and the CBS are scheduled to resume Monday, Jan. 5.
