West students celebrate success
DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
WOODLAWN – “School’s out forever,” were the concluding words of valedictorian Katie Hindson at the 2010 West Carleton Secondary School graduation ceremony held on June 25. The evocative and often funny reminisces of her time at West – from entering as a “minor Niner,” to the school catching on fire (“It’s like a childhood dream to watch your school burn down”), to the empty school on Carp Fair Friday – ensured the students’ owned their special day. “Our high school experience is timeless, and for years to come we will look back at our out-of date hairstyles, our old
friendships and our lasting memories. We have made friends and have cherished the lives of others. When we look back at our years at West Carleton we should laugh, smile, and remember that West was and always will be best,” Hindson KATIE HINDSON said. “Graduation is a milestone in life, and my friends we have finally reached the end of this milestone. We have indeed survived Cow Pie High.”
Principal Colin Anderson thanked parents for the “gift” of allowing staff and administrators to teach their children. He said students couldn’t have made it without their teachers. And, finally, he spoke directly to the graduating class: “This is it. Getting to today is what the last four years is all about. Graduation is not an end, but a beginning to the next stage of your life,” Anderson said. “Any worthwhile achievement requires effort and involves the risk of failure.” Trustee Lynn Scott spoke of West as one of the best schools in the province. The Fraser Institute scored it an 8.2 out of 10; the provincial average was 6.0. She said this fully digital generation has more access than ever to information. But in an uncertain world coping with
climate change, war and famine, it will be those who can think critically, collaborate, communicate and problem solve that will succeed. “Create with technology, not just consume it,” Scott said. “Have a wonderful life and don’t forget that West is best.” See WEST, page 17

ST. MICHAEL’S CORKERY LEAVE-TAKING 2010 St. Michael’s principal Bob Santos offered four nuggets of advice for the 37 students leaving the Corkery school on June 23 for higher aspirations. Participate in activities at your new high school; talk to parents and/or friends about negative feelings; watch your reputation because it will shadow you throughout life; and, finally, remember to use prayer.

Corporations buy up Canadian farmland: NFU The National Farmers Union (NFU) is warning that valuable farmland is being gobbled up by large corporations. In a news release, Renfrew County NFU president Dave Mackay reports corporations, investors, and foreign interests are buying up farmland in countries around the world, including Canada. Mackay was commenting on a NFU report documenting Canadian developments in a global land grab. The report gives 10 specific examples of agribusiness and investment companies buying Canadian land. It illustrates the rapidly accelerating transfer of food land ownership from family farmers and local citizens to foreign interests, investors, and corporations, says Mackay. The report also details the role of Canadian federal and provincial governments in facilitating the farmland buy-up. “Governments are failing to monitor or report corporate and investor purchases,” maintains the NFU report. Moreover, governments are actually helping and promoting purchases of farmland by non-farmers, the report adds.
“Crown-agency, Farm Credit Canada, is acting as the main financier of one of the country’s biggest farmland investment companies – providing multi-million loans to a company that has already bought up 100,000 acres of farmland,” said NFU President Terry Boehm. “The federal government’s Invest in Canada web-site is promoting affordable farmland, low political risk, and fertile fields to international investors.” Boehm warned that “unless we act, our land may soon be owned by modern-day lords and barons, with disastrous consequences for all Canadians.” The NFU report also points out that farmers’ autonomy, security and control are also being undermined by massive and rising farm debt and corporate financing of farm input sales. Renfrew County is fortunate that as yet there haven’t been significant corporate and investor farmland buy-up, said Mackay. But family farms should be vigilant, he warned, or corporate ownership of land “will destroy the countryside and the local infrastructure.”

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com CARP – An abandoned agricultural plant in Carp will finally be razed sometime this summer. The Agri West Co-op is two buildings, one yellow and one green, located at 135 Rivington St. – near the Carp River and a newer residential neighbourhood. The dilapidated operation, closed since 2003, has become a magnate for vandals, graffiti, even games of paintball. But the last straw came when someone lit fire to a old swivel chair a few weeks ago, causing some fear that the entire complex could have become engulfed in flames. That was when the Carp Fire Department added its name to a growing list of concerned groups. West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry said it is thanks to complaints from emergency service groups such as police, residents in the immediate area, and even inquiries from this newspaper that something is finally going to happen. “Staff are working to see who can
do it. It is going to be knocked down very soon,” El-Chantiry said. “Your efforts and the community’s and the police have been fruitful. I have no choice, it has to be closed.” His only reluctance is the price tag, about $100,000 to demolish and dispose of it. The bylaw department sent a notice of intent to demolish Agri West’s last known business address, but received no reply. El-Chantiry said he doesn’t know who owns it, but the city has followed all legal procedures and is now allowed to take over. Three companies have already toured the site with city officials, and plan to offer bids in the next few weeks. The lowest bid will win the contract. The contractors have not been named publically yet. The hope was that a private company would purchase the property, pay the estimated $76,000 in back taxes, and pay for the demolition. But when the city put it up for sale a few years
It’s been a terrible eyesore for years.

ago, there were no takers. Carp Business Improvement Area (BIA) president and commercial property owner Greg Leblanc said there are too many variables at play to make it a desirable investment, environmental concerns being near the top. “We’d welcome something done about it. It’s been a terrible eyesore and now a safety concern for years,” he said before learning of the city’s plan. “The last time it went up for public tender no one put down the minimum bid. No one knows if there is environmental damage that has to be taken care of, either.” Leblanc talked about a gas bar on site, along with fertilizers and beef – all potentials for causing soil contamination. All that for a one-acre parcel of land not visible from either Carp Road or Donald B. Munro; no wonder few business people have shown an interest in taking over. However, the only two bylaw infractions on record have to do with improper storage of fertilizer and improper storage of pesticides. Nothing to do with ground contamination. And Carp is a growing consumer base. Still, Leblanc said as long as the bureaucrats rate the one parcel of land equal in value to other one-acre parcels of land across the city, and don’t account for other variables, it will continue to prove a hard sell. “The city is trying to address it and come to terms with it. But it’s not a good situation,” he said.

KINBURN TRACTOR PULLS IN SPECTATORS
No doubt there is plenty of fun activities to participate in today, Thursday. Corkery has lots of fun lined up starting at 5 p.m. Dunrobin is the main spot in West Carleton with all kinds of great times planned, especially come nightfall with the fireworks. Constance Bay is mixing it up a bit; instead of a flotilla, there is a parade planned for 2:30 p.m. Even the Sweet Potato in Carp is ready to punch above its weight again this year, offering entertainment and a portion of proceeds from the sale of fries to a good cause. All that is great. But is it always about fun? We aren’t exactly an office full of curmudgeons here at the West Carleton Review. We say set aside most of the day for family fun and time with the neighbours. However, it doesn’t hurt to pull the kids or grandkids aside, sit under the shade of a tree for a few moments, and tell them why we celebrate Canada’s 143rd birthday. Is it about ancestors who survived a hostile land, or today’s immigrants who also seek a better life? Our peacekeeping or renewed pride in the military. Maybe it’s the freedom to choose all or none of the above that makes Canada worthy of contemplating. If only for a few brief moments each July 1.
The 15th annual Antique Tractor and Truck Pull managed to attract a number of participants and spectators despite the rain on Saturday. Hosted by the Kinburn Community Association on the Antrim Flea Market grounds, the day featured kids competiting in the lawn tractor pull, including Trevor Hanna, in bottom photo, pulling weight 38 feet. Manning the entrance was Kinburn’s Gail Carroll, Justin Carroll, Zaheed Jaffer of Kanata and Dylan Carroll. Photos by Derek Dunn
Clarification The June 24 story, ‘A step ahead of cancer’ referred to Ruth Riley raising “well over” $10,00 for cancer research in four years. Riley has actually raised $27,000 during that period.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Criticizing incumbents is the democratic way: candidate To the editor:
I would like to thank Mr. Spooner for his letter to the editor last week. Due to space limitations in this week’s paper I will not be able to respond in full here. First off many of his questions have been addressed in past articles and as well the on my website www. aronec2010.ca, where my platform has been up since mid-April. With regard to councillors being held accountable daily, you can talk to them. This does not mean they have to do anything other than listen, assuming they reply to your
request. Of course, if they don’t reply or follow up as/when promised, you will phone again. The point I was trying make is that the province states we vote every four years. With that, that one day is when that accountability is implemented. You can not remove your councillor with a phone call. I am not aware of a legal way to alter my age, it is what it is. It is not important how old I, or anyone else who is running, is. widely understood that wisdom and knowledge are not dependent on age, and probably not needed to be said. As well with regards to “cheap shots.” Errors are pointed out, as
those who ignore history are bound to repeat it. Questioning s o m e o n e ’s past record is not a cheap shot in this case; that’s the democratic process. That’s what I am doing. If any of you have a question feel free to email it to me at AlexanderAronec@Aronec2010.com. As well Mr. Spooner, I encourage you and anyone else who is interested in a factual reply to your letter to the editor, to visit the website for a full length version. And no, I am not pulling out.

While the Farmer was away Actually, the Farmwife was away too. So you would think the mice had ample opportunity to play. But they didn’t. As far as I know, anyway. I’m not on Facebook anymore – my account has been hacked into one too many times – but I think if there had been a party at the Fisher farm in my absence, someone would have surely told me. Maybe it was because Milena, the eldest, was in charge. Or maybe it was because we were only gone for a few days, in the middle of the week. Not too many people would be up for a party with school the next morning. Or maybe we have done a pretty good job raising a fine bunch of young adults. In any case, we were happy to come home to find that the house was in good shape, the liquor cabinet was still full, and the animals were all where they were supposed to be. The only sign that people had been here in our absence, in fact, was that the barn cats were suddenly tame, crowding around my feet when I entered the barn, and the new ceiling fan in the sunroom works. Pat, the future
THE ACCIDENTAL FARMWIFE Diana Fisher son-in-law, fixed it. He gets points for that. So all is well. I don’t know why we didn’t do this sooner – leaving the farm in the hands of the very capable offspring while we take off for a few days. I guess I had nothing to worry about. Must have been thinking about someone else’s kids. Like the ones I grew up with. I remember going to one house party where a goat ended up in the kitchen and a dog was in the pool. The dog didn’t concern
me much – he just swam to the end and climbed out -but I remember being worried that certain inebriated houseguests might try to feed the goat alcohol. There was no evidence of partying with farm animals in our absence. There were, however, signs that the animals were having their own party in the barn. Donkey had once again knocked the gate to the storage room off its hinges. He and several dozen of his woolly friends had their way with the cat food, sweet feed and bags of disinfecting powder in the storage. Oh yeah – and they spilled the Farmer’s tools all over the floor and pooped on them. Nice. It was during this intensive cleanup session that I found a strange item, stamped into the manure on the floor of the barn. The Farmer’s black leather belt was there. It was dirty, mind you, but I still recognized it. I had been looking for it since our return, because the Farmer needed it for his day job, as a dress pantwearing university professor. I brought the belt back to the house, made a mental

note to deal with it later, and sat down to call Milena to thank her for looking after things. She reported that she had enjoyed her stay at the farm, that it was both relaxing after a long day of work and stressful at the same time. Donkey has been particularly mischievous in Misty’s absence, as he finds life quite boring without her. He can’t wait til she returns from summer camp. He entertains himself by tackling the sheep and dragging them around, with a foot in his mouth. Milena said she had to yank the axe out of the wood stump and chase Donkey down the field with it until he let the sheep go free. I asked her if she was wearing her high-heels at the time. She didn’t find that particularly funny. “Oh yeah, and that broken-leg lamb wriggled out of her splint so I tackled her and made her a new one,” she reported, proudly. “She put up quite a fight but I held her down and strapped her up good.” What did you use? I asked her, just as the answer formed in my mind. “One of your tea towels and an old belt.”

#3705 Wally
Do you have room in your home and heart for this quiet, friendly kitty? Wally was brought to the shelter in early May. He is about four years old, neutered and declawed. Wally loves attention and would make a great companion. He likes to snuggle and be carried around. Wally tolerates other cats but would really prefer his own space. He is an indoor cat who likes to sit in the window and bird watch. Please consider adopting this handsome boy, he will make a great companion. #3686 Tucker Tucker deserves a loving home of his own. He was brought to the shelter in November 2009 when his owner was no longer able to care for him. He is a five-year-old, neutered Rottwieller/Hound mix. He is a large dog, with lots of energy who enjoys going for walks. He knows some basic obedience but would benefit from more training. Tucker has very good house manners, he is completely housebroken and well behaved. He would be best suited in an adult only home, with a fenced yard. Tucker is good with cats and some dogs
Supplies the shelter needs are Friskies canned cat food, bleach, liquid laundry soap and paper towels. You can call the Arnprior and District Humane Society at 613-623-0916 between noon and 5 p.m Monday to Saturday or visit www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca

CONST. PETER JEON Ottawa Police Service
Patrol Officers in the West Carleton area responded to 29 general calls for service from the public for the reporting period of June 18 to 24. On Monday, June 21, a mother reported a suspicious incident to police that involved her daughter. Sometime during the week of June 14, a suspicious vehicle was noted to be driving slowly past the 10 year old girl as she walked home along. After passing the little girl the lone driver pulled into a private driveway and appeared to stare and smile at her. Scared by the driver’s strange and unusual behavior, the girl ran home and reported the incident to her mother. The suspicious vehicle was described as a twodoor green Pontiac Sunfire. The police are investigating this matter and would like to remind parents on the importance of street proofing kids. STOLEN SIGNS FOR SALE? Is there an underground market for used “for sale” signs? Has anyone been approached by a suspicious looking man in a long trench coat, asking if you’re interested in buying a used sign for cheap? A complainant on Tranquility Way reported the theft of her “for
sale” signs that occurred sometime between 9 p.m. on June 16 and 7 a.m. on June 17. The signs were last seen on her property and at the corner of her street. On another note, a complainant who was walking through the Manotick Mews parking lot last week was approached by a man driving a pickup truck from Quebec and was asked if he was interested in buying a surround sound stereo system for cheap. Did you pick up on the suspicious signs? The Quebec license plate came back to a pickup truck that was rented in Montreal. IMPAIRED A 29-year-old driver from Carp who lost control of his vehicle on Diamondview Road and ended up in the ditch, told the investigating officer he only had a couple of beers earlier on at a Pakenham golf course. Because of the signs of impairment, the driver was arrested for impaired driving and was given a breath demand. as a result, the driver registered on the breathalyzer, 155 mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood. In Ontario and the rest of Canada, the maximum legal Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) for fully licensed drivers is 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood. HAY, WHAT A SOCCER
GAME A hay wagon that broke free from a tractor along Kinburn Side Road, rolled into the Kinburn Community Centre sign— knocking it off its post, and then continued on into a soccer field where it came to rest. Luckily, the soccer players were playing at the far end of the field when the hay wagon rolled in. Quickly cluing into the danger signs, the parents were able to rush into action by moving the kids out of the way and stop the wagon.
BAY WATCH. Shortly before 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, a black Jeep from Quebec was spotted running up and down Constance Bay beach before four males jumped out and paddled away in an inflatable raft. The Jeep was nowhere to be found when police arrived on scene. Accidents: June 19 - Vances Side Road, West Carleton: A driver who was knocked unconscious after he was thrown off off his ATV was transported to hospital by air ambulance for non-life threatening injuries. By the time police arrived on scene the driver had already regained consciousness and was speaking to the paramedics. Based on the helmetless driver’s account, as he was cruising
around his property on his ATV, just before supper on Saturday, he suddenly became distracted and unexpectedly ran into a tree. The collision sent the driver flying and flipped the ATV over. B&E: June 23 - Vaughan Side Road. At 10:48 a.m. on Wednesday, police were dispatched to a residential alarm call. On investigation, police discovered a rear bedroom window pried open. Based on the markings left behind, a screw driver like instrument was used to force open the window. Pressed on by the audible alarm system, the unknown suspect conducted a rapid search of the bedroom and stole a container of change valued at approx. $30 and a Sony PSP device. June 24 - Deertail Lane. Sometime during the overnight hours June 23, unknown suspects broke into a locked trailer at a job site on Deertail lane and stole four framing nailers — two Bostitch Stick frame air nailers and two Passload framing nailers. A suspicious black VW Jetta was reportedly spotted in the area. Mischief: June 18 - Jenson Court, Carp Village: A complainant reported to the OPS Call Centre a mischief to property. The complainant stated that the front of her house was egged for the sixth time sometime
between midnight and 6:30 a.m. on Friday by unknown persons. June 23 - Moran Street, South March: Sometime between 3 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Wednesday, unknown persons walked up the complainant’s 80-foot driveway and smashed in the rear window of her vehicle. The wallets and cell phones that were left inside of the unlocked vehicles remained untouched. Suspicious: June 22 - Homesteaders Road. A complainant called police after two people were spotted fleeing from a residential construction site at around 9:35 p.m. on Tues., June 22. The complainant stated that as he approached the property, an unknown female was observed running from the construction site and jumping into a dark grey Ford Escape that was backed into the driveway. Before the complainant could block in the suspect vehicle, the unknown driver was able to pull around the complainant’s car and speed off.

Overworked and under-trained Personal Support Workers struggle to provide the best care
As front-line workers in the overburdened long-term care system, PSWs are the first to see its problems. Given the chaos they experience every day, they want better training standards and other professional improvements that the province, so far, is rejecting.
SECOND IN A FOUR-PART SERIES
By Jillian Follert
W
hen the woman’s head hit the wall with a dull thud, Cathy’s blood ran cold. “I was just thinking, ‘oh my God, oh my God, what if I killed her?’” The 26-year-old was four months into her first job as a personal support worker at a Toronto long-term care home, when she left a frail, wisp of a 90-year-old Alzheimer’s patient with a bump on the head, after struggling to transfer her 100pound body from wheelchair to bed. “It’s partly my fault, because I probably should have asked for help,” Cathy said, crying as she remembers that day in 2008, and the nurse who called her an idiot. “But, I also think it’s not really my fault, because my school never taught me how to do transfers properly.” Cathy isn’t her real name. As was the case with most of the 30 PSWs interviewed for Situation Critical, Cathy agreed to tell her story, on condition that her name and the home she works at not be identified. She worries about being fired or blacklisted for speaking on situations that jeopardize care. PSWs are the most intimate point of contact for 75,000 elderly Ontarians living in government-supported nursing homes, helping with everything from feeding to toileting. The approximately 100,000 PSWs employed in various eldercare capacities in Ontario — about 30,000 work in nursing homes — toil at the bottom of the health care food chain, whether they work in long-term care facilities or at an individual’s home. They are in a struggle for legitimacy that has become more public as PSWs push the province harder for higher standards and concrete training requirements. It’s a losing battle. Health Minister Deb Matthews recently scrapped a round of public consultation on potential regulation of PSWs. She told Metroland she is “very much concerned” about PSW qualifications and the fact that training courses differ dramatically in length and content. “What I think is important, is there is a clear understanding of what training is required to call yourself a PSW,” Matthews said. “My understanding is that it varies tremendously.”
PSWs are the heartbeat of Ontario’s 625 nursing homes, responsible for up to 75 per cent of care. They bathe and dress residents, comb their hair and brush their teeth. They lift them in and out of beds and wheelchairs, and help those who can still use the toilet. They change diapers, spoon feed residents and reposition them to prevent bed sores. Increasingly, PSWs also tackle medically related tasks delegated by other overworked health professionals, including changing nitroglycerine patches and navigating chest drainage, feeding tubes and oxygen therapy. PSWs who spoke to Metroland said ratios can be as low as three or four PSWs to 50 or 60 residents. “You’re literally jogging from room to Alberta is currently the only province room, you have no time to talk to the reswith a standard where patients get 3.5 idents and spend time with them,” said hours of personal care per day. April Hill, from the Orillia area, a PSW PSWs are also traditionally given low for about three years. pay rates, with a national average of “It’s just go, go, go.

doesn’t bathe them, she doesn’t have to feed them and she wouldn’t know how to treat their physical ailments. That doesn’t make her work any less important. The work she does makes sure they end up in the types of facilities that will care for their physical and mental well being, so despite the crushing paperwork and long wait times, she feels satisfied in her career. But, concern that PSWs are not regulated or certified, coupled with media reports of infractions — a North Bay PSW, for example, was sentenced to house arrest this year for stealing an elderly resident’s credit card — have led to calls for the profession to go through an accountability overhaul. For the organizations working on behalf of PSWs, that means an Ontariowide PSW registry, uniform curriculum and clear-cut standards of practice. In the chaotic life of a PSW, time, wages, resources, training, support and respect are often in short supply. Without education standards, some new hires end up at a loss when they’re thrust into reallife situations — jeopardizing the care of fragile residents they oversee. “ ... when I got out there working, then I realized there’s some things I don’t know,” said Jen, who has been on the job for a year and completed a six-month adult-education course offered through a school board. “We didn’t spend much time on the proper terminology for certain illnesses or anything that can go wrong with the body. Even the CPR first aid course, I find myself having to go back and reread my book over again. Because I find myself in some situations where it’s like, ‘oh my God, it went too fast and now I don’t remember what to do in this situation.’” With files from Jennifer McIntosh

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way were beautiful! To get to such a size, the snakes must be eating well. Jude observed one devouring a Black Goby, a non-native fish that has become abundant in Lake Ontario. I also suspect that they are eating ducklings. Hundreds, likely thousands of baby Common Mergansers and their mothers dart from the shore as you walk along it. Each female lays 12 eggs but some female mergansers had 30 or more young in tow. One group of 100 youngsters had only three adults accompanying it. These large groups of young are called crèches, and that was the largest I had ever seen. No one knows why some female ducks permanently drop off their young with other mothers. One theory is that the donor gains protection for her young by having others around them. The recipient gains the same advantage for her young. If a predator such as a snake or Snapping Turtle (also very common along the shores) was to strike, the odds are better of any one young not being eaten because there are so many others available. Main Duck Island is a special part of Ontario. I hope to return one day to see more of its natural treasures. And perhaps count snakes! The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

This summer I have conducted bird surveys across southern Ontario. They have taken me to rock-strewn shores of Lake Huron and vast cattail marshes along Lake Ontario. Last week surveys took me to a remote island about 30 kilometres due south of the southern tip of Prince Edward County. That island lies much closer to the American border than it does to the Canadian mainland. Last week I visited Main Duck Island. As islands go, Main Duck is small. It is little more than three kilometres long and at the widest spans a mere kilometre. No one lives on Main Duck and camping is by permission only. Thus, it was a privilege to spend a week exploring the island. Roger Bird and Jude Girard, two talented birders and hardy campers, joined me for the surveys. The island is flat with limestone bluffs lining the northwest shore. The rest of the north shore consists primarily of limestone shelves. The south shore is adorned with Zebra Mussel shells, a metre deep in some places. There were two common animals on the island. Meadow Voles darted across every path and shoved their way under our tents every night. I suspect that this fall and winter many birds of prey will not migrate any further south when they discover this bounty. Northern Watersnakes were also abundant, with hundreds encountered during our stay. I have never seen more in one area. These harmless snakes were not only common they were huge, with many spanning a metre or more in length. They were also colourful. In our area, watersnakes are dark brown with indistinct paler bands. On Main Duck they sported red-orange and brown bands. They

Alfalfa case to impact Canadian farmers Renfrew County National Farmers Union president Dave Mackay says a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that geneticallymodified (GM) alfalfa cannot be planted or sold in the country has very significant implications for Canadian farmers and all other citizens. Canada’s NFU participated in the case. Mackay says the Monsanto v. Geerston Farms case marks the first time a GM crop case has been brought before the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. ruling makes Canadian GM alfalfa commercialization less likely, he reports. Mackay maintains the proposed introduction of GM alfalfa in North America threatens Canadian agriculture and food in several ways. First, organic farmers will face risks and lost income because of the possibility GM alfalfa, if approved, will contaminate fields and seed stocks.
Second, alfalfa sprouts, popular as a nutritious food, will have some level of GM contamination, Mackay says. Third, alfalfa is a main feed source for Canadian livestock, especially beef and dairy cattle. “The alfalfa that goes into our beef and dairy cattle is turned into the beef and milk we serve our families,” said NFU president Terry Boehm. “And if that alfalfa is genetically-modified, that makes a difference to Canadians.” Fourth, through alfalfa, honey-making bees that pollinate other food crops could be adversely affected. “Locally in Renfrew County, many farmers depend on hardy alfalfa seed varieties which withstand our cold winters,” said Mackay. “In the case of the introduction of genetically-modified (GM) alfalfa, we could very well lose through time, that hardy trait in our seeds.

CARP – For the first time in the Diefenbunker’s history, visitors will be able to roam the rooms and halls of the formerly top-secret nuclear bunker on their own. Monday marked the launch of an interactive audio/video guide which leads visitors, with the help of a map and marked paths, through the maze-like National Historic Site. Previously the only way to see the building was accompanied by a guide to designated areas. It also marked the first day up to 500 people could visit the museum at one time, up from 60 after renovations to emergency exits were
paid for and completed. Also set to launch are the Diefenbunker games on a new interactive website entitled Project Rustic, and food service in the cafeteria in the form of Military Meal Replacements such as those which would have been eaten after a nuclear strike in a 30-day lockdown of the building. The 31-track, one-hour self-guided tour incorporating footage of atomic testing, 1960s public service films and Diefen-
bunker construction. This tour immerses visitors into the Cold War experience as it leads them through the 100,000 square foot, 4 storied nuclear bunker. It is available for download for viewing on personal media players and smart phones. Media players are also available for loan by the museum. Project Rustic: Journey to the Diefenbunker is an interactive website that
encourages Canadians to learn about the Continuity of Government Program and the role of the Central Emergency Government Headquarters during the height of the Cold War. The project, supported by Heritage Canada, has a youth focus and uses humour and popular culture references to draw participants into a dark period in Canada’s history.

Is the Queen coming to Arnprior? JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com
The Prince of Wales is definitely coming to Arnprior this Saturday, July 3, but is Queen Elizabeth the Second? The re-enactment of the 1860 visit to Arnprior of the Prince of Wales has generated a great deal of interest, particularly as the Queen will be in Canada on a royal visit. Back in February, Prince and the Prior organizers invited Queen Elizabeth to the celebration. They still hold out hope Her Royal Highness may actually make a quick stop in Arnprior Saturday morning. “There is still a slight possibility she may come,” said Arnprior and District Museum curator Janet Carlile Sunday, as she watched a run-through of the Prince and the Prior re-enactment at Robert Simpson Park. Security officials have visited Arnprior, but made it clear it was one of several possible venues they were checking out just in case the Queen were to make a stop. The timing would be tight. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were scheduled to arrive in Ottawa at noon Wednesday and were to take part in Canada Day celebrations in the nation’s capital. After a quiet day in Ottawa Friday, they will fly to Winnipeg Saturday, arriving about 1:30 p.m. Ottawa time. Queen or no queen, organizers expect a large turnout at Prince and the Prior, partly buoyed by the leap in interest in royalty that always comes with a royal visit Carlile said it is difficult to predict, considering this is a one-time event with no admission charge, but wouldn’t be surprised if at least 2,500 people show up. Other estimates range as high as 8,000, which would double Arnprior’s population. Among the visitors will be the British Deputy High Commissioner. Carlile admits the weather will likely play a major role (the long-term forecast is for a sunny weekend). Nevertheless, she is delighted with the interest shown in the event from people in Arnprior and many parts of the Ottawa Valley. Organizers have been promoting the event by dressing up in their period costumes and showing up in places such as the Ottawa markets, the Carp
Market and the Arnprior Mall on the last couple of weekends. Sunday’s run-through attracted a great deal of interest in the park where the Prince will land about 10:30 a.m. this Saturday escorted by a flotilla of canoes filled with shantymen and First Nations representatives. “People have been really enthused by the idea,” Carlile said. “We’ve been enormously heartened that so many people in Arnprior and area have wanted to be a part of it ... it has captured people’s imaginations.” Carlile said she hopes area residents reward the hard work by showing up in large numbers Saturday, noting 150 years ago the whole town showed up to greet the Prince. “In fact, the whole area showed up,” she said, noting the event wasn’t publicized, but the news spread by word-of-mouth. “We’re surrounded by history, but so often we get fiction,” she said. “But this visit was fact ... it was a highly important event for this place. It’s a part of our history, our heritage.” Among the 150 volunteers acting in the re-enactment is Arnprior District High School graduate Martin Boersma, who plays Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales. Boersma is excited about the oppor-
tunity, having just graduated from Concordia University in theatre performance. Prior to the arrival Saturday, the narrator and animators will offer spectators background information about the Prince and his visit. When he arrives, a piper will play, a cannon will fire, and horses and carriages will arrive at the beach. “It will be fun,” said Carlile. To assist people attending the event, organizers have arranged for a roving school bus to take people to and from the park for free. There will be extra parking available at local schools, churches (except for the United Church, which is holding a wedding) and Galilee for Prince and the Prior-goers. Carlile stresses there will be plenty of disabled parking spots designated in Robert Simpson Park. After the Prince is welcomed to Arnprior, there will be a number of festivities including a lumber jack show (1:30, 2:30, 3:30), vintage photography displays, food, fiddlers, dancers, heritage displays and children’s activities including a Bertie Bear Tea party in the gazebo at 1 p.m. A 12:30 p.m. luncheon based on the meal provided the Prince in 1860 had only eight tickets left as of Sunday.

It was a year of steady highs - a band trip to New York City, the bear hug that raised $425,000, for example - was met with a sudden and tragic low. A car accident claimed the life of one student and caused serious injuries to four others on June 10.

the direction of the Gatineau hills, she added. “We turned quickly going back where we came from.” The bear was either dark brown or black, and well-rounded. Constance and Buckhams Bay Community Association President Andy Rapoch contacted the Ministry of Natural Resources to find out proper protocol if one encounters a bear. He was directed to mnr.gov.on.ca/en/Business/Bearwise. Advice includes speaking firmly to the bear while backing up with your arms in the air. Do not turn and run if it advances closely. “If the bear makes contact, fight back with everything you have,” it reads.
CONSTANCE BAY - A bear was spotted in Constance Bay last week, prompting community association members to warn residents about dangerous encounters. “We were walking along a fire lane in the Torbolton Forest around 8:45 this a.m.,” Penny Singleton emailed on June 23. “We had just crossed over Bishop Davis Drive going towards the church and perhaps 100 to 150 feet up the trail, I heard the deep grunting which caused me to look ahead and saw the bear slowly crossing over the path maybe 20 feet in front of us.” It was heading back into the woods in

Ward 5 - West Carleton-March
Rural Fire Services My office frequently receives calls of concern that “fire lanes” to the river are blocked. The city has made significant investments to provide more efficient access to water supplies in the event of an emergency. Ever wonder what those blue pipes near lakes or rivers or blue boxes sticking out of the ground, both with hydrant signs, are? These are used by the Ottawa Fire Services to refill their “Tankers” - fire truck that carry as much as 2500 gallons of water, once they have emptied their load of water at a fire scene. These reservoirs are called “Dry Hydrants”. In other words, they are like hydrants you see in the City only they are not pressurized. They require a “Pumper” truck to suck water from them.

BATTERS UP IN WEST CARLETON
West Carleton Minor House League Softball Association held tournaments in four of their five participating areas June 19. Above, in atom play at Fitzroy Harbour, Carp player Wyatt Paul doesn’t let a bandaged hand hinder his play, as he smashes out a hit one-handed against Kinburn. The association organizes softball for boys and girls ages 4 to 18.
Above, in Fitzroy Liam Khan of the Kinburn Green team prepares to hammer a pitch in atom play against Carp. Right, in Carp, Fitzroy’s Ryan Kyte awaits to see if the Kinburn catcher can track down his foul ball in SquirtPeewee action. Right above, in Dunrobin, the home team’s Kaitlin Kealey steams into first base against Fitzroy in Squirt-Peewee girls action.

YOUR GO-TO-GUIDE FOR AREA BUSINESSES AND SERVICES
Slightly hotter, drier summer ahead: Weather Network “One of the most popular questions that I receive is ‘How will the summer be?’” said Martin Belanger, manager of Briefing Services with The Weather Network. “The outlook for this summer is for warmer and drier conditions for most of the country as compared to the past two summers. We are forecasting temperatures to be near or slightly above normal. This represents a marked difference as the past two summers have been relatively poor in the minds of Canadians east of the Rockies with long stretches of
cool, wet weather.” EL NINO SUBSIDING El Nino, a periodic warming of the water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean near South America, has played a role in the weather patterns affecting Canada for the past several seasons. As expected by meteorologists, the cyclical phenomenon is continuing to weaken, and as a result, will have little impact on Canadian weather patterns for the months of June, July and August. What does “above normal” tempera-
tures or precipitation mean? When forecasters refer to a normal, they are talking about the mathematical average of the temperature or precipitation recorded over 30 years. To calculate the seasonal normal for the summer for a particular city, meteorologists add together all the daily average temperatures for June, July and August and divide the total by 92 (3month period). Above normal temperature means that a specific area should expect the average temperature for the summer to be about one degree warmer.
