POLICE ISSUE BREAK-IN ALERT The Ottawa Police Service is urging West Carleton residents to ensure their property is secure as there were several break-ins in the area last week.

Homeowners reported breakins in Marshwood, Spruce Ridge, Burnt Lands, Dwyer Hill and Kilmaurs during the week July 23 to 29.

There were also thefts from vehicles in Dunrobin Village and Baskin’s Beach and an ATV stolen at Buckham’s Bay. Police were told the Baskin’s Beach thefts were the first in that area in at least 10 years.

For more, see Pages 5 and 10.

A quiet rural neighbourhood in upper Carp has temporarily become Hollywood north.

A crew shooting a Hollywood movie, House at the End of the Street, set up a command post on March Road on the weekend and began filming at a home nestled in the pines a few blocks away.

The excitement started to grow late last week when neighbours received an alert the film crew would be filming Monday through Friday at 101 Glenview Rd. The film crew’s trucks began rolling into the area Saturday and by the start of filming Monday about noon dominated the area around the home. At least seven trucks lined up on Glenview near the corner of Pineridge Road as the corner became a beehive of activity with shooting continuing to almost midnight.

The film, an old-fashioned Hollywood thriller, stars Elisabeth Shue of Leaving Las Vegas and Adventures in Babysitting fame.

Also on set are well-known actors Gil Bellows, Max Thieriot and young sensation Jennifer Lawrence. The U.S.-based producers are working with Ottawa’s Zed Filmworks, with shooting at various locations around Ottawa for the rest of the month.

Hollywood came to March Road this week when a film crew arrived at a Carp area home Monday to shoot footage for the thriller House at the End of the Street. The crew set up a command post on March Road complete with a large wardrobe van. Seven truckloads of equipment set up at the shoot site, a home nestled in the pines at the corner of Glenview and Pineridge roads. Shooting is scheduled to continue until Friday. The film stars Elisabeth Shue, Gil Bellows, Max Thierot and up-and-coming star Jennifer Lawrence.

Among the local residents receiving a close-up look at the action are Larry Strickland and son Luke.

Kamil Chadirji-Martinez says the Aug. 4 to 20 Students on Ice Arctic Expedition is the realization of a dream.

He describes the Arctic as “a big interest of mine.”

“Since I was little, it’s just been a passion of mine,” he says. “I’d like to eventually work up there in the future,” says Martinez.

For now, the Grade 11 student is happily living his dream.

Preparation involved an education session and also assembling the gear, which included lots of Gore Tex, a sturdy back pack and special fleece-lined rubber boots.

He was looking forward to the journey and relished the idea of visiting an Inuit village and studying local wildlife.

Martinez is not a stranger to travel.

With his mother’s family living in Dominican Republic and some of his father’s family in Iraq, he has made frequent trips overseas.

Upon his return, Martinez would like to share his experience with others and will offer to make presentations at local schools.

The Grade 11 student lives in Morgan’s Grant with his parents, to whom he is grateful for allowing him to pursue this dream.

Along with his passion for the Arctic, he’s an active teen involved in Taekwondo, soccer, drawing and casual science reading.

CARP’S CHANGING LANDSCAPE As of Monday, only a shell and heaps of rubble were left at the former Agri West Co-op buildings site on Rivington Street in Carp. The once busy complex, which closed in 2003, is being demolished this summer after being branded an eyesore and safety hazard. Among the possible uses being touted for the property, which was taken over by the city for nonpayment of taxes, are a park-and-ride and a children’s park.

Fifteen-year-old West Carleton Secondary School student Kamil Chadirji-Martinez has just embarked on a journey he says was life-changing before he even had his bags packed.

Martinez is one of about 75 students traveling to the northern reaches of Nunavik and eastern Baffin Island, Nunavut as part of Students on Ice, an annual educational Arctic expedition.

Winning the $10,000 scholarship that will finance the trip has been a three-year goal for Martinez. He first heard about the program at a presentation at the Museum of Nature, where he volunteers as a greeter. Already interested in the Arctic, he was hooked on the idea.

“I realized this is what I had to do,” says Martinez.

Since then, he has been working to secure a spot on a student trip to the Arctic and his efforts have paid off. Working towards and realizing this dream has been a big deal.

“It changed me as a person,” says Martinez, who was to meet the other students in Ottawa and fly north to Kuujuaq. There, the group will board a boat that will be their home from Aug. 4 to 20.

The students will make short trips from the boat to complete their experiments and exploration. Things like animal behaviour, the environment and culture will be among the topics on which they will focus.

The group, made up of youth ages 14 to 19, will be accompanied by an international team of staff, consisting of 35 scientists, historians, artists, elders, explorers, authors, educators, leaders, innovators and polar experts.

Expedition participants include over 25 northern aboriginal youth, as well as students from China, Monaco, Norway, the United States and every region of Canada.

Just before he set out, Martinez was chomping at the bit to get up there and explore.

EAA GROWING EAA, the Experimental Aircraft Association, is a growing and diverse organization of members with a wide range of aviation interests and backgrounds.

EAA was founded in 1953 by a group of individuals in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who were interested in building their own airplanes. Through the decades, the organization expanded its mission to include antiques, classics, warbirds, aerobatic aircraft, ultralights, helicopters and contemporary manufactured aircraft.

More importantly, the organization focused on people, offering

Continued from front The small amount of funds raised will go to towards maintenance and upkeep of the EAA chapter’s hangar and workshop at the Carp Airport.

However, the breakfast has other major goals. It is intended to encourage public awareness of sport aviation in the Ottawa area and attract new members to the chapter and recreational flying.

It is also a meet-and-greet for pilots from the various airports in the surrounding area.

In previous years the breakfast has attracted as many as 350 to 400 people for breakfast and as many as 100 aircraft from local airports all across eastern Ontario and western Quebec.

The EAA is “the organization that enables people to realize their dreams of flight.” It is supported by local chapters throughout Canada, the U.S. and around the world.

The chapter hangar is located in front of the First Air hangar on the east side of the airport and can be reached via the Carp Road entrance to the airport opposite the Irish Hills Golf Course. Parking is free – just follow the signs.

A new residential drug treatment facility will open in West Carleton next week.

A 10-bed facility known as Meadow Creek, run by the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, will open its doors to girls on Aug. 12 after a one-month delay.

The delay, according to Dave Smith Centre executive director Glenn Barnes, was partly the result of sifting through hundreds of job applications.

The centre, which runs community-based outbound services from its Bronson Avenue location in Ottawa, has also had to retrain staff for its residential program.

Meadow Creek was originally owned and operated by the Royal Ottawa Hospital, which housed its men’s residential treatment program in the West Carleton facility. Three years ago the hospital moved the program to its new Carlingwood location.

The building in West Carleton was left vacant for about two years, Barnes said, and had to be refurbished before the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre could set up programming at the location.

As a result of the opening of the West Carleton facility, the Alwood Treatment Centre in Scotch Corners will become an all-boys facility. It has been amalgamated into the Dave Smith Centre and, as a corporation, will be dissolved by the end of August.

With boys at the 14-bed Alwood facility and girls housed in Meadow Creek, the number of females seeking treatment is expected to increase.

Barnes said females only account for one-third or one-quarter of clients in most co-ed residential facilities. “It does not represent the gender split in the population,” he said, noting the number of females in treatment increases to a 50/50 split if there is segregation.

Focus groups show that females won’t enter the residential treatment facility in the first place if it is co-ed. Barnes said 16-year-old girls say they have enough on their plate without having to deal with 17-year-old boys “prancing in front of them.”

For girls who might have experienced psychological or physical abuse in their past, being exposed to that can be traumatizing. “If we take the barrier

Carp in 2014, the Dave Smith Centre will only be able to help about 120 youths a year, but it’s “16 beds more than we have now,” Barnes said.

Funding is one of the main obstacles to opening new beds, he continued, explaining the Ministry of Health provides operating dollars but doesn’t put capital money on the table. That means the Dave Smith Centre has to raise funds to build or refurbish facilities.

Barnes said it will cost about $6.5 million to build the 30-bed facility scheduled to open in 2014.

away, the usage goes up,” Barnes said.

A couple of girls at the Alwood Treatment Centre talked about quitting the program, Barnes indicated, but were asked to be patient and take a look at the new building. After touring the new facility, he said there were whoops, cries and giggles from the girls, who were convinced to stick it out.

The seven girls currently at the Scotch Corner’s facility will move to Meadow Creek Thursday, Aug. 12 for the day. They’ll have to return to the Alwood Treatment Centre to sleep since there won’t be any overnight staff members available. However, on Aug. 16 they’ll make a final move to West Carleton when a full complement of staff will be on hand.

By the time the new facility opens, the number of residential beds available will jump from 14 to 26.

While the extra beds are a boon for the region, Barnes indicated the centre is fighting a losing battle. He said about 350 to 500 adolescents and youth between 13 and 21 years old in Ottawa and area need addiction treatment at a residential facility.

Even with plans to open a new 30-bed facility in

LEARN TO COUNT THE RINGS

Break-ins on the rise all over West Carleton The Ottawa Police Service is cautioning West Carleton residents to be on alert as there was a significant increase in the number of break-ins in the area last week.

Included in the 77 general calls for service from the public from July 23 to 29 were break-ins in several West Carleton neighbourhoods, as well as thefts from vehicles.

In order to decrease the opportunity for criminals, police urge residents to remember to activate their alarm systems (a loud audible speaker can alert neighbors and reduce search times), install jimmy plates and safety bars on patio doors, close and lock all doors and windows, and call police to report suspicious activities or crimes in progress.

If you have any information on any break-ins, call CrimeStoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS), or toll-free at 1-800-222-8477. Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display and calls remain anonymous.

“Remember, you are the eyes and ears in the community. Start communicating with the Neighborhood Watch Program in your area and sign up for a free Home Security Inspection (HSI) by calling the West Carleton CPC at 613236-1222 ext. 2982.”

Following are a list of recent break-ins provided by Const. Peter Jeon.

July 29 Woodkilton Road, Kilmaurs: Thieves entered into a house under construction sometime between 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 28 and 7 a.m. Thursday, July 29 and stole a power drill and a radio from the upstairs living room area. The suspects also

broke into a work trailer located near the house, by cutting a padlock, and stole a large number of construction tools.

July 26 Burnt Lands Road, West Carleton: Sometime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Monday, July 26, thieves broke into a house through a rear secondfloor sliding door and stole several electronic items including laptops, LCD TV, gaming systems, surround sound system, cash, jewelry and flashlights. A neighbor reported that around noon a small red pickup was observed backing into the complainant’s driveway and then leaving southbound on Burnt land Road.

July 24 Marshwood Road, West Carleton: Sometime between noon Friday, July 23 and 10 p.m. July 24, thieves forced their way into a newly constructed home by prying open the front door and stole electronic items, cash and jewelry. The home, on Marshwood Road near Panmure Road, was ransacked as the thieves searched through dresser drawers, jewelry boxes and closets. A neighbor, who was walking along Marshwood Road at around 4:30 p.m., noticed the front door to the house swung wide open. Because of the types of items stolen and the remoteness, it is evident a vehicle was used to transport the stolen property. Reported stolen were a Sony Bravia 60-inch flat screen TV, a Toshiba 42-inch flat screen, a 30-inch Toshiba flat screen, two Dell laptops, a CPU tower, cash, and jewelry. No alarm system was installed in the home at the time of the break-in.

Kanata West Environmental Assessment Notices of Completion Carp River, Poole Creek and Feedmill Creek Restoration Revisions and Addenda to Environmental Screening Report Revised Environmental Screening Report Report and Addenda Now Available for Review In June of 2006 the Carp River, Poole Creek and Feedmill Creek Restoration Environmental Screening Report was completed in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule B Project as defined in the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Process (2000). The Minister of the Environment received Part II Order requests for the project asking that the project be subject to an individual environmental assessment.

Due to concerns raised in regard to the accuracy of the models used by the City, a Third Party Review of the models supporting the projects was undertaken. As part of Conditions 1 and 2 of the Minister’s Order made in response to the Part II Order requests, updated documentation has been provided including the results of the Third Party Review, updated water level information, flow modelling data, a water level and flow monitoring plan, a detailed Implementation Plan related to phasing and stormwater management.

Following the completion of the Third Party Review and the other matter required to address the Minister’s Order, the Environmental Assessment was required to be updated and this Notice was required to be issued. In addition to the updates required as a result of the Third Party Review, the Carp River Restoration Project has been updated to incorporate current conditions and direction received from City Staff and Council including a permanent widening of the Carp River corridor. An Addendum to the Carp River EA Screening Report with these updates has now been completed and has been issued for public review along with the following supporting Documentation:

increased sinuosity, aquatic connections to the Carp River, local bank treatment and riparian plantings.

Written In June of 2006 the Kanata West Master Servicing Study (MSS) was completed following Approach 2, which fulfills Phases 1 through 2 of the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process for Schedule B projects and 15 projects were identified. Four of the projects were subject to Part II Order requests. Eleven of the projects were considered approved and five projects have since started construction.

Due to concerns raised in regard to the accuracy of the models used by the City, a Third Party Review of the models supporting the projects was undertaken. As part of the Minister’s Order made in response to the Part II Order requests, following the completion of the Third Party Review, the MSS was required to be updated and this notice was required to be issued.

The Kanata West MSS (2006) and the following supporting documentation are available for review: • Third Party Review, March 2009 • Kanata West Implementation Plan, July 2010 • Updated Public Consultation Report, July 2010 The Third Party Review did not identify any requirements for amendments to the previously approved projects. Accordingly, only the projects previously subject to Part II Order requests noted below may be considered for additional Part II Order requests.

Continued from Page 5 July 23 Dwyer Hill Road, West Carleton: A salvage yard warehouse near Dwyer Hill and Galetta Side roads was broken into sometime after 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, July 22 and before it was discovered at 6:30 a.m. Friday. The thieves entered into the warehouse through an unlocked window and stole three bottles of liquor and a green metallic change box containing money, cheques, keys and vehicle registrations. Police canvassed the neighborhood, but nothing suspicious was reported.

July 23 Spruce Ridge Road, West Carleton: At 11:19 a.m. Friday, a complainant was notified by her alarm monitoring company that an activation signal from the patio door contact was received. When the security guard and the complainant searched the house, they discovered that the sliding patio door had been opened about five inches and an HP laptop was stolen. On investigation, police noted the alarm system was installed with a loud audible horn, which greatly reduced the amount of time the unidentified suspect spent inside of the house, and the patio door was pried open with a screwdriver-like tool near the locking mechanism.

July 12 - Riddell Drive, South March: Thieves entered into the house through an open rear screened window and exited through a locked rear bedroom door. Reported stolen were numerous watches and jewelry, change and IBM T42 laptop.

July 12 - March Road, South March: Thieves broke into a home through an upper level window and stole a 42” Sharp Aquos LCD TV, a Toshiba Laptop, and about $30 in loose change. The culprits’ initial attempts to break into the house were foiled by a security stop arm on a rear patio door. The culprits then moved to a side window where a large screwdriver-like tool broke the window lock.

Alcohol, driving don’t mix well at any age

Swampfest in Kinburn

I

t is official: anyone aged 21 and under can’t have any alcohol in their system when getting behind the wheel.

Previously, anyone who held a full G licence could have a blood alcohol level of up to 0.05 per cent. As of Aug. 1, that number now only applies to drivers 22 and up.

Young drivers who are caught with any alcohol in their system face an immediate 24-hour suspension of their licence which could last up to 30 days and up to $500 in fines.

Kathryn Windsor of the Renfrew County Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) branch said young people in the area have problems with alcohol because of the small town feel and the proximity to Quebec.

Youths consuming alcohol have been the cause of “a percentage of the accidents happening in this area,” said Windsor.

According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, the peak ages of drinking and driving are 19 to 21. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Manitoba already have similar regulations in place.

Some may argue that this new law is an example of ageism.

Many young drivers are responsible and would be able to handle having a glass of wine and hitting the road responsibly later on.

However, there are many who can’t. And that doesn’t just go for young drivers. Everyone handles their alcohol differently, depending on gender, weight/size, metabolism, etc.

Over the years, countless police reports have come across the news desk about impaired driving. People of all ages, from teens to seniors, have been caught drinking and driving in Renfrew County. What about the over-21 population who can’t seem to handle their alcohol?

Drinking and driving does not seem to be going away anytime fast. It remains a reality, often ending up in tragedy. Perhaps limiting youths behind the wheel is just the beginning. It may not be a bad idea to start at the 16 to 21 demographic and work up from there.

Alcohol and driving has never been a good mix.

COLUMN

It was 5:30 in the morning and my dog was barking.

There are two problems here. Number one: it’s Sunday. And number two: Cody doesn’t even bark when people come up the laneway anymore.

It’s like he’s on work-torule or something.

So when I heard this barking, I knew something was up. I put on a robe and pressed my face up against the window screen to see down the driveway. Nothing.

But the dog kept barking. I grumbled, looked at the Farmer (who was sleeping on his good ear and hearing nothing), and trudged downstairs.

Throwing open the Diana front door, I snapped at Cody, “Shut it! It’s too early! What are you barking at?!”

Just then, out of the corner of my

Lady and the Tramp relived eye, I saw a tail. A very special tail.

It wasn’t a fluffy barn cat or farm dog tail. It wasn’t a skunk or squirrel or raccoon tail. It was a thin, black tail, curled up like a fiddlehead. And it was coming from something behind the cedar tree.

I took a step closer.

Out from behind the tree bounded a big, black afghan hound. She pranced, danced, sprung and leapt across the garden as Cody bellowed.

Then she stopped, sat down in the middle of the driveway about 50 yards beyond the end of his chain, and stared at him while he barked in frustration.

For about two minFisher utes she watched as I tried to quiet him.

Then, bored of the game, she got up and left.

THE ACCIDENTAL FARMWIFE

“Well. Wasn’t she somethin’!” I asked Cody. He seemed to agree, whimpering and retreating into his cave under the porch.

The next day, when the prancing pooch returned to terrorize my mutt, I met the owner, our new neighbour.

“I’m sorry – we lived in Manotick for years and never once did my dogs escape,” Julie explained. “But now, the minute I open the door, she’s off like a shot. She just can’t stay away.

I don’t know what she sees in him,” she said, looking at my dog.

“And now she is in heat!”

The woman was obviously distressed. Has she never seen “Lady and the Tramp,” I wondered?

“Well, don’t worry – he’s fixed,” I said, motioning toward my dusty, tangled, slightly overweight Gordon setter. My neighbour breathed an audible sigh of relief.

Cody looked like he was going to bust a gut.

Every week, the Green Thumbs Club will have a different theme. It will kick off this Sunday, Aug. 8 from 1 to 3 p.m. with the theme ‘Starting your Seedlings’.

The programs’ following weeks include topics such as ‘Let it grow’, where kids will learn how to properly tend

a garden, how to identify weeds among the flowers and vegetables, and make a scarecrow to scare away unwanted nibblers to your garden; ‘Wildlife gardens’, where they can learn what plants attract and reject butterflies, bees and birds; and ‘Saving seeds and flower arranging,’ where participants will learn how to collect seeds from their favorite plants for future gardens, and also try their hand at arranging their own bouquets.

As I turned to leave, we heard a heavy sigh. Ember was 401591 lying flat out, with her face in the grass. “Is that the front end?” I asked. All I could see was long black hair. Even her nose was covered. I have never seen a dog do that before.

“Oh. She’s upset,” Julie said. Just then Ember lifted her head and looked at us, as if to say, “I cannot believe that you won’t let me free to come and see him. Don’t I look very, very sad right now?”

What a drama queen she is.

Puppy love not meant to be despite burning Ember

From Page 8 He shivered and shook and tried to stifle a whimper, but it got out anyway.

Ember, as she is called, comes by her grace honestly. She is a very well-trained, champion show dog. She regularly takes part in regional, national and international dog shows where she meets every breed of well-groomed, well-bred, distinguished and dignified dogs. But she wants Cody.

He looks a bit like her, with his long black hair. She thinks he is the perfect mate. She appreciates his roughness.

She wants to run and play and chase sheep with him.

She wants to curl up with him in the dustbowl under the porch. She wants to have little half-breed babies with him.

But, alas, it is not meant to be. And if she keeps running through the bushes between our two farmhouses, she will get burrs in her long hair. And so she was put on a clothesline run, just like Cody.

Last night Cody and I went for a walk. We headed down the road, past Ember’s house. He spotted Enright Real Estate her and she spotted him. She started barking. And Brokerage jumping up and down. Acting not very show dogINDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED like at all.

Water wise

Reporter learns to sail on the Ottawa River JESSICA CUNHA Jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The boat was tipping, the water rising up to meet us.

As the Albacore continued its descent toward the waves, I ducked under the boom and landed in the river with a splash.

The sail came down, filling with water as the boat continued to overturn. I swam to the back, grabbed the centreboard and hauled my weight up onto the slippery piece of wood.

With help from my skipper, Mike Thompson, we managed to right the sailboat after a considerable length of time and hop back in.

This was all part of a training exercise offered by the Kanata Sailing Club (KSC) during their open house on Saturday, July 24.

KSC has been operating for 35 years on the Ottawa River in Dunrobin. The club is a non-profit cooperative, which promotes low-cost sailing for both experienced and new sailors.

ALBACORE ADVENTURE Thompson took me out in an Albacore, a two-person dinghy used for teaching, leisure and racing.

The Albacore is a 4.57-metre fiberglass sailboat.

Teaching is very important, said Thompson, so in the event that something goes wrong, such as capsizing, sailors know what to do without panicking.

In the Albacore, my job was at the front of the boat.

I had to keep the lines of the jib (the little sail in front of the big sail) taut or slack depending on the wind direction and speed.

The rope was difficult to keep from slipping through my hands, and I found my knuckles white from the strain of keeping hold.

Thompson had to keep reminding me to hold on tighter as I consistently let the rope relax.

Next time I’ll bring gloves to help give me better grip.

My attention, however, was focused

mainly on the boom, the large beam running down the centre of the boat that holds the mainsail.

It looks a lot heavier than it is; it’s actually fairly light, being hollow and made of aluminum.

As the wind shifts direction, the boom is apt to swing around with little warning, said Thompson. Even though it’s light, the boom can deliver quite a good rap to the head of an inattentive sailor.

It becomes second nature to keep your head down and body low, said Thompson; your body will react involuntarily to keep from getting hit.

And it was true.

As nervous as I was about the boom in the beginning, by the end I paid it no mind and managed to exit the boat without being smacked once.

BALANCED BOAT Photo by Blair Edwards I learned how to tack – to switch sides Reporter Jessica Cunha, left, and skipper Mike Thompson work at getting the capsized while changing the course of the dinghy.

First bass, now catfish.

Following up on the success of its bass derby July 24, the West Carleton Legion (Constance Bay) Fish and Game Club is holding a catfish derby this Saturday, Aug. 7.

While the bass derby was restricted to members, the catfish derby is open to all. The club is holding registrations this week, including a sign-up today (Thursday) from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Legion. A catfish dinner will follow the derby at the Legion.

In the bass derby, Ryan McQueen and Whitney MacRae of Constance Bay pulled in the biggest fish, a 4.23-lber. In the true fishing tradition, they refused to divulge where they caught their winning fish.

George and Carolle Lessard had the greatest total weight, with six fish weighing 12.84-lb. Jordan Goodfellow and Claude Levebvre were second at 10.46 and Gord Johnson was third at 10.44.

Prizes were given out at a celebration hosted by Rick and Nancy Atchison of Constance Bay. The Atchisons also ran the weigh-in station for the derby at their bayside home.

About 30 anglers took part in the derby, which was the 10th annual for the club.

Brunette Memorial a boost to minor hockey West Carleton Minor Hockey is the big winner at the Jon Brunette Memorial Golf Tournament.

The eighth annual tournament, in memory of former West Carleton Minor Hockey player, Ottawa Titan and Arnprior Junior Packer Jon Brunette, will be played this Saturday, Aug. 7 at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club in Carp.

All proceeds go to the Jon Brunette Memorial Fund to benefit West Carleton Minor Hockey, through paying the registration of a local player on the Titans and funding a season-ending fun day for the Initiation players.

Brunette was a well-known player in the West Carleton and Arnprior areas before being killed in a snowmobile crash in 2003.

The tournament is also being held in memory of Malcolm Brunette, Jon’s father who died in 2007.

Tee-time Saturday is 1 p.m.

The cost to enter is $340 per team ($85 per person) for 18 holes, green fees and golf cart, and a three-course chicken supreme dinner.

Each week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up for adoption.

#3759 Moses

3739 Lionel There’s never a boring moment with Lionel around. He is a two-year-old neutered male who was given up by his owner who was no longer able to care for him. Lionel is an active, energetic cat who he is very curious and likes to explore and play. He is sure to keep his new owners on their toes. He is friendly and gets affectionate when he is all tired out. He is good with other cats and dogs.

Supplies the shelter needs; Whiskas Meaty selections dry cat food, paper towels, bleach and canned cat food.

AUGUST BOTTLE DRIVE: Empties Can Fill Bellies fundraising event. Drop your beer, wine and liquor empties at the shelter 490 Didak Dr., Arnprior, and you’ll be helping all the animals in our care. Proceeds help with expenses such as vaccinations, veterinary care, spay and neuter surgery.

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

put meat and fish waste into a paper bag and then in your freezer until collection day; alternate layers of food waste with layers of dry waste (e.g. leaves, dead plants, sawdust, wood shavings).

SPEEDING COMPLAINTS I frequently hear from residents with complaints about motorists speeding along our roads. As much as I’d like to be able to get drivers to slow down, this is actually a matter for the Ottawa Police to deal with directly.

If you witness speeding, you should contact the Ottawa Police at 613-236-1222, x7300 to make a formal complaint, and I encourage you to have your neighbours do the same. (The more complaints received the better!).

Green bin warm weather tips

With the warm summer weather upon us, we are now having to contend with some unexpected guests in our green bins – maggots!

Even though maggots are the norm when it comes to the decomposition of garbage, many residents are shocked when they open their green bin to discover these unsightly creatures.

To minimize the appearance of maggots (as well as flies and foul odours), here are some handy tips that you may want to try:

rinse your bin with your garden hose periodically to help keep it clean, especially if you don’t line your bin with paper; periodically rinse the green bin using a mild detergent or white vinegar/ water solution;

sprinkle a small amount of powdered garden lime, baking soda or powered laundry detergent (no bleach) in the green bin; put salt or vinegar on maggots to kill them; wrap wet food waste (e.g. meat, fish, fruit and vegetable waste) in old newspaper or used paper towel; use the special food waste bag or other paper bags (e.g. grocery, popcorn, sugar, flour or potato) to hold your mate-

Moses, a five-year-old neutered male, will make a wonderful companion. He was abandoned in the country and thankfully someone found him and brought him to the shelter. He was in terrible shape - very thin and badly matted - but he is now healthy and ready to find a good home. Moses is a very friendly cat. He likes attention but isn’t demanding. Moses is a large cat with an easygoing personality. He is quiet, gentle and good with other cats.

Community CTV community ambassador Max Keeping tries out his Mini Max 2 puppet at a community picnic July 29. The original Mini Max puppet was lost in the CTV fire earlier this year, and was replaced by Noreen Young, one of the driving forces behind Puppets Up!

Puppets in the park Family picnic helps celebrate new beginnings for Max Keeping’s puppet KATIE MULLIGAN katie.mulligan@metroland.com

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Max Keeping will no longer be puppet-less after the recent loss of his celebrity look-alike friend, Mini Max the puppet.

Keeping, CTV community ambassador and well-known face in the region, was honoured to receive his Mini Max 2 puppet on July 29 during a community picnic, after his original puppet was lost in the CTV fire earlier this year.

“Noreen, you are very gracious,” Keeping said to puppet creator Noreen Young, one of the driving forces behind the Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival.

Young said she was quite distressed to

hear about the loss of “mini Max,” which was given to Keeping as a token of the large amount of support he has shown the community over the years.

The puppeteer said the last celebrity look-alike puppet that needed replacing was Wayne Rostad’s, which was on display at the Iron Works and was stolen.

As Keeping accepted his puppet, with an updated hairstyle to boot, he said Almonte has always stuck out in his mind as a community that celebrates its diverse culture.

“I admire the people who live in this community,” he said. “I salute you.”

The park was filled with music and arts, families, food, puppets, belly dancers and more during the picnic, which was a leadup to the Puppets Up festival, taking place in downtown Almonte Aug. 7 and 8.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Spend a weekend in Almonte at the Puppets Up! International Festival and you’ll feel like you’ve been around the world in two days.

For the sixth year running, Puppets Up! will welcome puppet troupes from around the globe and they, in turn, will deliver 54 world-class puppet shows in tented or storefront theatres in downtown Almonte. Puppets Up! runs Aug. 7 and 8. The festival venue is open between 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. each day.

Downtown Almonte’s main thoroughfare, Mill Street, will also offer tons of free family-friendly street entertainment provided by clowns, balcony puppets, musicians, face painters and street entertainers. Children of all ages can also learn how to make their own puppets at the kid’s craft tent.

Once a day, puppets of every shape and size, along with musicians, celebrity parade marshals and street entertainers, come together on Mill Street for the famous Puppets Up! parade. The parade starts each day at 1:45 p.m. and ends at 2:15 p.m.

On Saturday evening, in the Almonte Old Town Hall, Puppets Up! offers an adults only cabaret performance — Puppets…Unstrung! The talents of all of the visiting troupes. This year, the cabaret

will include an auction of puppets made by some of Canada’s best-known puppeteers.

Almonte and its businesses are also ready to deliver lunches, snacks, cold drinks and a shady spot to sit and enjoy a spectacular view of the Mississippi River and its thundering waterfalls.

Puppets Up! festival returns

NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Ottawa mayoral candidate Jim Watson is halfway through a series of visits to some of the city’s rural communities, and he says he’s already heard from many frustrated voters.

After an earlier stop in Cumberland, Watson met residents in Greely on July 28. He’ll be at the Kinburn Community Centre Wednesday, Aug. 11 and North Gower on Aug. 26. All are 7 p.m. meetings.

More than 40 people heard him speak at the Greely Community Centre, and about half stepped up to the microphone to ask questions. Watson said he was aiming for “dialogue, not monologue.”

“I don’t have all the answers,” Watson told the crowd.

“But I’m open to ideas and that’s why I’m holding these meetings.

“The comments I hear from people after I speak is that they appreciate that I’m here listening. That’s one of the issues: where has Larry O’Brien been? He’s had no meeting

on rural issues in four years.”

Watson said that, if elected on Oct. 25, they will see him back in the community.

“I’m not pretending to have deep rural roots,” Watson said, although he did grow up in a small town and his father was a farmer. “It’s important to keep this dialogue going after the election. If I’m fortunate enough to be elected, this isn’t the last you’ll see of me.”

Watson said he’s found that rural Ottawa residents have expressed the greatest dissatisfaction with amalgamation.
