Kinburn will celebrate its murky history this weekend with music, food, and fun for the kids.

Swamp Fest takes its name from a public house that operated near the village in the 1800s. The hotel would have offered music and food – just like Swamp Fest will do.

“People are getting excited about it,” said one of the organizers, Jim Armstrong. “The music will be top notch; you’re not going to find any better.”

All events are at the Kinburn Community Centre, 3045 Kinburn Side Rd. Saturday, Aug. 28, is the big day, offering music from noon to midnight for a $20 admission fee. Performers include: • Gail Gaven • Huntley Slim and the Suburban Cowboys • Kinburn’s own Cindy Thompson • Howard Hayes

• Triple Play • Darlene Thibault • The Sarah Burnell Band • Running Naked Band.

TENT GOES UP Organizers have made sure weather won’t be an issue, setting up a 20by-30-metre tent for the shows. Saturday evening means a Settlers Dinner of ham, beans, and corn: what Armstrong calls “old-fashioned fast food.”

Armstrong said visitors can expect to see an agricultural equipment display with some antiques, including a dog powered butter churner.

Re-enactors will be cooking with traditional materials and there will be children’s games.

On Friday, admission is free for the family corn roast, bonfire, barbecue and music. Sunday features a Firemen’s Breakfast from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

River watcher hopeful River Summit to unite groups DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

A one-day event set for tomorrow (Friday) will see stakeholders from both sides of the Ottawa River come together for a roundtable talk on the health and future of the river and its tributaries.

First Nations leaders, elected officials and municipal staff from large and small communities will share watershed data and promote restoration and protection projects.

Called Ottawa River Summit 2010, the event is hosted HANK JONES by the National Capital Commission and Ottawa Riverkeeper; the latter being an independent non-profit organization with a stewardship mandate. Along with 28 municipalities and five aboriginal groups, sine watershed organizations and conservation authorities will participate.

Constance Bay’s Hank Jones is a volunteer at Ottawa Riverkeeper. He favours the idea of having various groups come together, but sees the jurisdictional challenges faced.

“There are so many people with a stake in the river, but not one group that represents it,” Jones said. “I like the idea (of the group coming together.) I hope they can get a lot accomplished.”

He said the Ottawa River has “some problems,” but that it is in decent shape compared to others in North America.

RIVER WATCHER Jones was appointed “river watcher” on behalf of Ottawa Riverkeeper in spring. It is a first for West Carleton. He explained that his role is to keep an eye out for irregularities on all bodies of water in the region.

“I do some observations myself, but I’m just one person,” he said. “I would like people who have concerns to let me know so I can pass them along to the riverkeeper (Meredith Brown).”

He said people continue to dump sewage and other waste into area bodies of water, but that his group doesn’t have the authority to issue fines or to take other measures.

If you are concerned that an activity is having harmful effects on the river, Jones invites you to call him at (613) 832-2745.

Watson coming to a borough near you?

Mayoral candidate Jim Watson found himself scrambling to placate both urban and rural voters this week after floating the idea of a borough system.

Watson clarified that West Carleton-March ward 5, along with the city’s three other rural wards, would not change under a borough system.

“They would be off limits. And that’s been shown through an OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) decision and a court ruling,” Watson said. “This is about having local decisions back at the local level. City hall is both figuratively and literally a long way from Kinburn, Fitzroy Harbour and other rural communities.”

He explained that the four west end councillors – Eli El-Chantiry,

“

add that he isn’t backing any one candidate’s bid for mayor.

“We all know Mr. Watson is a very astute politician, and very well spoken,” El-Chantiry said.

“I’m in favour of a small budget to deal with some stuff.”

REDUCE COUNCIL SEATS He advocates a $25,000 boost to every councillor’s $40,000 office budget to pay for some of those decisions.

But that’s where Watson halts the discussion.

Watson said the point of the exercise is not to spend more money; rather strike a “good governance review panel” of disinterested observers to make the final decision on office budgets.

However, Watson also lost favour with some councillors this

week when he suggested reducing their numbers from 23 to between 14 and 17.

“We expect staff and community groups to tighten their belts. We should be prepared to do the same,” he said.

Having examined the council makeup of similar sized cities in Canada, he said Ottawa is “top heavy” when it comes to politicians. Were cuts to happen, the reduction would come just four years after a 23rd ward was created.

El-Chantiry said the number of councillors and the areas they represent are fine, and not worth changing in a bid to save $2 million.

Watson said council has deliberated for long periods of time over much smaller sums of money, but that $2 million here and there adds up.

Continued from front It’s the winter of 1856 in Upper Canada and it’s cold out.

It’s chilly inside your stagecoach too as it travels lonely roads from the old Bytown –renamed Ottawa last year – to the lumber towns of Arnprior, Renfrew and Pembroke.

Thankfully, there’s a good place to stop for the night in Kinburn.

The Swamp.

“It was one of only two public houses or hotels between Arnprior and Ottawa,” said Jim Armstrong, a member of the Fitzroy Township Historical Society.

he said.

“It was almost certainly the first business in the community.”

Armstrong said the public house would have served travellers and the locals.

“There was a social life and this was the gathering spot.”

This weekend, Kinburn will be a meeting spot once again as Swamp Fest brings music to the village.

Visitors to the Swamp came by horse or stage – the train didn’t arrive until 1893 – and travellers would have stopped at a two-storey house on the corner of what is now Donald B. Munro and Carry’s Side Road, about a kilometre south of today’s Kinburn village.

“It probably had a bar room one side, dining on the other side, and a central staircase with a couple of rooms upstairs,” Armstrong said.

Armstrong and other heritage fans can only guess what the Swamp looked like.

“I’ve never seen a picture of it,” he said. “People have been looking for years.”

If you think you have a photo, Armstrong can be reached at 613-839-3061.

He said the Swamp opened about 1830 and operated until roughly 1870. The name was fitting.

Seniors group asking for parity on ParaTranspo fares derek.dunn@metroland.com

LOST RURAL SERVICES Adele Muldoon is with the Ottawa Seniors Transportation Committee. She has fought since 2006 to lower prices for Pulsifer and a handful of other West Carleton residents. Muldoon even hastily compiled a petition with 300 names on it supporting parity with urban users before the last Rural Summit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The needs of seniors in rural areas need to be recognized,â&#x20AC;? Muldoon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very optimistic right now we are going to see a change, a more affordable rate for seniors after September.â&#x20AC;?

revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slippery slope,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anyone needs help, they can call my office.â&#x20AC;?

Pulisfer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy that line of reasoning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any buses. Why would we pay more when we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the buses?â&#x20AC;?

Coun. Eli El-Chantiry would have liked the group to contact him at his West Carleton-March ward office long ago. He applauds Muldoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make our city a better place,â&#x20AC;? but foresees problems if rural seniors are made equal to urban. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to be careful what we wish for,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding another councillor may argue that if rurals want parity with urbans on transportation costs, they should also pay for OC Transpo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a surprise to say the least when this came up. All rural councillors were not involved in this file,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem I see is if everyone is to pay the same, then should we pay for transit?â&#x20AC;?

An urban home valued at $300,000 pays $600 a year for bus service. Because bus service isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offered in West Carleton, local residents are exempt. But if the 9,000 homes in West Carleton were forced to pay $600, the city would collect an additional $5.4 million; an attractive proposition for urban councillors looking for more tax

Laurie Pulsifer of Harwood Plains was pleased to hear rural ParaTranspo pricing will be discussed at city hall in September.

Three times a week he waits at his door near Dunrobin and March roads for the city-contracted taxi to show up.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend five hours on a dialysis machine at the Civic hospital those days; he was first diagnosed with kidney disease in his early 20s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking its toll,â&#x20AC;? said the civil servant pensioner.

Often he is first on a round of pickups that may include two others heading to medical appointments. They could be off to rehab or to a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a minor consultation, the city canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trespass on privacy rights when it comes to the transportation service.

At times Pulsifer misses a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment because of the service, throwing off his day and disrupting the hospital schedule.

He no longer takes the service back, but when he did it often meant an hour or more in a taxi, dropping people off in Barrhaven and elsewhere. But his issue is not with the service. Just the price. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $9.50 one way from his place; $18.50 one way from Constance Bay. And only $3.25 on the other side of his street, along with points closer in Kanata. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw a study that showed we in rural areas are paying way more than what we are using,â&#x20AC;? Pulsifer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are subsidizing other people.â&#x20AC;?

She said a pilot program in Ottawa south is proving a success, and that after the election period it could be expanded.

Still, she is convinced many low income seniors have opted not to pay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to the detriment of their health and ambulatory bills to the city. Muldoon also noted that a similar service was offered free of charge prior to amalgamation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only asked for parity for all seniors in Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A number of these services we take for granted have been cut, many we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know about until it is time to use them. Nobody really knows all the services weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost.â&#x20AC;?

She understands that fuel costs are greater due to longer distances from rural spots; but some clients from Kanata travel to Orleans. Besides, she said, the trips are longer but the numbers using it are far fewer.

Valley an international hockey destination nevil.hunt@metroland.com

They come from California, Kamloops, Chicago and Sweden.

A growing international mix of players descends on Arnprior each August, and the Nick Smith Centre is their hub. Most are Montreal Canadiens prospects or draft picks.

The draw is the coaching.

Local skating coach Paul Lawson works the players on one ice surface while Canadiens skills coach Tim Turk directs players on the other rink, concentrating on shooting skills. During the week, players spent two hours each morning with one coach and two hours every afternoon with the other.

Turk is believed to be the NHL’s only shooting coach.

“You want to disguise your team after a season spent in the minor pro leagues.

shot and have your body ready to react. You need to use the right thing at the right time.”

Among those brushing up on their skills were Montreal minor-leaguers Mathieu Darche and Ryan White, both of whom played for the Habs during the past season. Ottawa 67’s

defenceman Cody Ceci attended too, and Lawson said he will become a household name as next year’s NHL draft approaches.

Following two hours under Lawson’s direction, Arnprior native Will Colbert showed the effects of the drills, sweating away before getting changed.

“I’m out here for a really good skate,” Colbert said.

Colbert, played defence in the San Jose Sharks farm system the last two years and is now a free agent. The 25-year-old said he’s seeking a team for the upcoming hockey season.

Montreal Canadiens draft picks and minor league professionals swirl around the rink at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior, their skates making loud scrapes as they go from standing still to top speed in a few strides.

When they shoot, they shoot hard.

And self-proclaimed beer league goalie Dustin Phillion is trying his best during

hockey trainer Paul Lawson’s annual hockey camp. The Fitzroy Harbour resident picks up his game and stops a few shots, but plenty more flash past him and into the net. Phillion is cannon fodder, and he knows it. He’s only in the net to offer a bit of challenge as pro and future-pro hockey players go through their drills.

After Tuesday morning’s two hours of slap shots and wrist shots, dekes and deflections, he knows his role: “I’m just the pylon.”

Lawles’ best-ball teammate Rory Burns went to school with Harvey since Grade 4, and admitted the tournament would likely be his only round of golf this year.

Continued from 5 Lawson said Colbert has the skills to play pro for a long time.

“He has a tremendous skill level,” Lawson said, “and he wants to get better.”

Lawson said the camp has become more popular during its four-year history because the players want to improve their game as the new season approaches, and more players can be expected to come to Arnprior because of Turk’s coaching.

Every year’s Dunrobin Village Meats Golf Tournament is fun.

But every ball is putted, chipped or driven for a good reason.

Last Saturday saw the seventh annual tournament tee off at Irish Hills on Carp Road, and the money raised will be donated to the Cameron Harvey scholarship fund. The 18-year-old died last year when his car left Kerwin Road and struck a tree.

Harvey attended West Carleton Secondary School, and the school has since established a scholarship fund in his name. Dunrobin Village Meats co-owner Julie Delahunt said the 2010 tournament’s goal was to raise $10,000 for the scholarship fund.

“We choose a local charity each year,” Delahunt said a few moments before 158 golfers teed off.

Among the golfers was a foursome who went to school with Harvey.

Matt Lawles dubbed the scholarship idea “sweet.”

“It’s for a good cause,” Lawles said.

Asked if he expected to play well, Lawles was frank: “Not even

Staff at centre make difference

A player in a different foursome, Ben Wilson, said he went to school with Harvey at West Carleton and both were on the same team.

“We played rugby (at West Carleton) for fun,” Wilson said.

“The players like the combination,” Lawson said. “It’s really good preparation for training camp.”

He also credited the staff at the Nick Smith Centre for making things run smoothly.

“That’s a really important reason (why the camp is held in Arnprior),” Lawson said. “(Parks and recreation director) Glenn Arthur and his staff are really accommodating.”

Military planes will fill the air above the Canada Aviation and Space Museum at Rockcliffe Airport on Aug. 28 and 29, during the fifth Classic Air Rallye. Down on the ground, displays will commemorate the centenary of Canada’s Navy.

Airplane enthusiasts will get an Ottawa airshow in 2010, but it won’t be in the west end.

Because of financial difficulties, Air Show Ottawa cancelled last year’s Carp airport showcase and will not run an event this year either. The organizers hope to have planes back in the air above Carp in 2011.

For the fifth year, another organization – Flightworks – will present the Classic Air Rallye on the grounds of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum at Rockcliffe Airport, on Aug. 28 and 29.

This year’s highlights include: • A salute to the Westland Lysander aircraft. For the first time in 20 years anywhere in the world, three of these iconic aircraft will come together at the rallye.

• A lineup of Second World War-era aircraft, bush planes and amphibians in the

air and on static display.

• The world’s most advanced fighter, the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter inside the aviation museum, where you can also fly the F-16 and F-18 cockpits and simulators.

• Military re-enactors in Second World War uniforms and vehicles, including vehicles from the Canadian War Museum collection.

• A tour of the aviation museum’s storage wing and see the treasures not normally on display.

• Visit the displays and booths commemorating the centenary of Canada’s Navy.

Organizers say pilots will make themselves available to talk to vistors. Admission to the site includes entry to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.

Two-day admission to the event is $20 for adults, free for accompanied children under 12. Parking is free and the site is accessible by OC Transpo.

Up-to-date news and information is available on the Classic Air Rallye’s website at www.flightworks.ca

EDITORIAL

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Boroughs deserve voters’ attention Jim Watson isn’t the first politician to float the idea of a borough system in Ottawa.

But he is in a position to make things happen.

If he wins the mayor’s race on Oct. 25, we should all look forward to the change. And if he doesn’t win, at least voters will have given the idea a good long look.

There are pros and cons to a borough system of course.

Critics will call it another layer of bureaucracy, in addition to our wards, our committees and city council itself. In reality, boroughs can only add to the city’s complexity if we allow them to do so.

Watson’s proposal is a little different than the typical borough system, which is driven by volunteers who advise the local councillor on issues. He wants to see councillors, such as the four west end councillors, form a sub committee of council. They will hold public meetings, likely on a monthly basis.

Boroughs need only to manage a pittance of the city’s funds to make a big difference in their communities. Each borough can make its own decisions without dealing with big budgets: issues such as how their neighbourhoods look, what recreation programs are available, and what kind of growth fits in. In short, a number of items many rural residents say are alienating them.

Budgetary decisions beyond the petty cash variety can still remain with city councillors.

Every community in the city could benefit from a borough: it’s decision-making done local. And grassroots ownership of local issues is a sure-fire way to get people interested. Holding a meeting downtown at midday is just the opposite.

And in the unlikely event a ward can’t come up with enough local people willing to advise a councillor, then decisions can be turned back to committees and city staff.

If boroughs mean people feel more connected to their city government, that’s a worthy goal.

All mayoral candidates should take note of the borough concept, do their homework, and bring their plan forward as soon as possible.

And after Oct. 25, maybe we’ll all think of government as something by the people and for the people.

This jaunty coyote was spotted last week silently (no howling) while loping along Fifth Line in West Carleton near the corner of Thomas A. Dolan Parkway.

All quiet on wolf howl front Wolves attract our attention. To many they are mysterious creatures that epitomize the wild.

When we meet a wolf, we are drawn into an untamed world, one that is increasingly difficult to find. That is why Public Wolf Howls, originating in Algonquin Park in 1963, have enticed more than 120,000 people to venture into the night to listen for their howls.

This past weekend I led the Annual Bonnechere Park Wolf Howl, an event that I have conducted since the early 1990s. Fashioned after the world famous and much larger Algonquin Public Howls, a presentation on wolves (held in Bonnechereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Davenport Centre) is followed by a short drive to some good howling locations.

Unlike the Algonquin events, scouting for wolves is not done prior to the night of the Howl. If the scouting for the Algonquin Howls, held on the two nights prior to a potential Howl, is unsuccessful, the Howl is cancelled. Also, the Bonnechere Howl visits not one but several locations if wolves are not heard at the first.

This year our entourage was the smallest since the Bonnechere Howls began.

The main and likely only reason was the weather. What was initially forecasted to be a sunny weekend turned out to be one of the wettest recorded for that date.

Many campers packed up their tents after a couple of days of rain dampened more than their spirits. Others changed their plans before the arrival of the weekend.

Despite the weather, approximately 75 eager participants filled the Davenport Centre and then headed out in a small cavalcade of cars to the wilds of the Basin Road in southeastern Algonquin.

Our first stop was historic Basin Depot, where we were treated to the aerial artistry of Little Brown Bats and American Woodcocks. Despite our vocal efforts, no wolves replied.

That was not unexpected for wolves have huge territories (on average, 180

square kilometres) and they could be in any part of their territory at any time. Usually to hear a wolf you have to be within a couple of kilometres of it, so the odds are slim of randomly stopping and having wolves reply to your howls.

That is why extensive scouting is done for the Algonquin events.

We had several more locations to try, so our spirits were not dampened (neither were our clothes for the heavily clouded night sky was kind to us). Each time we failed to elicit a response, our anticipation that we would hear wolves at the next location intensified.

Alas, we completed our final howling sequences and the night remained silent.

Despite not hearing wolves, the crowd was most appreciative. After all, just venturing out at night to an area where wolves run wild is in itself a rare privilege.

Howling is one of the main ways wolves communicate, but we really have no idea what they are saying. Maybe next year on the Bonnechere Howl we will have an opportunity to find out!

Another mystery critter Has the Arnprior cougar (or hybrid cat) moved south, or has he a relative in the Madoc area?

Joe Gillan of White Lake was visiting in the Belleville area recently when he noticed a photograph of a mysterious animal in the Aug. 12 Community Press newspaper. The caption explains that Rob Thoms saw the animal, described as being about 36 inches tall with cat-like ears and face, just north of Madoc. Perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same type of animal seen near Arnprior, suggests Gillan.

A town committee is calling on bylaw enforcement officers to step up their efforts in Pakenham in order to reduce the number of large trucks using Renfrew Street.

“I don’t say that there aren’t trucks going up there or bigger vehicles,” said Rod Cameron, the town’s operations manager, in responding to a letter from Pakenham resident Bonnie MacFarlane about the volume of traffic on the road. “I think some people are using that as a cut-through, because of parking…They don’t want to contend with parking.”

While big trucks were likely using the street to avoid the larger roads, Cameron was not sure that they were necessarily speeding down Renfrew Street.

“Big trucks look like they’re going faster than they are because the street is so narrow,” said Cameron during Mississippi Mills town council’s roads and public works committee meeting on June 10.

“That particular area is an accident waiting to happen.

Someone’s going to get nailed,” said Coun. Denzil Ferguson.

Backpack Safety Goes Beyond Back Pain • Don’t overload a backpack. Carry only what is necessary. If too many books are the issue, parents should talk to the school administrators and teachers to reach a happy medium regarding textbook usage.

• Hold on to stair rails and do not run with a heavy backpack to help avoid slips and falls.

• Choose a lightweight backpack. Canvas backpacks are generally lighter in weight than leather backpacks. Do not add extra weight unnecessarily.

Don’t wait for math to become a struggle.

In addition to the physical strain backpacks can cause, they can be a danger in other ways. Many people fail to recognize how much space a backpack can take up.

Entering the tight quarters of a school bus or commuting on a train or bus means a bulky backpack can knock into other people. If that backpack is full of heavy, cumbersome books or even a laptop computer, an inadvertent bump by the pack can cause injuries. Also, backpacks taken off and placed in bus aisles can be a tripping hazard.

To avoid these secondary hazards from backpacks, consider these tips.

• Recognize how much space the backpack takes up when worn. Be conscious of others when turning around or entering a confined space.

• Avoid rolling backpacks, which can be Programs for children from difficult to roll. Some 3 months to 14 years schools ban these styles because of (613) 727-9427 tripping hazards.

When worn correctly, with weight evenly distrubuted across the back and shoulders, backpacks can be safer and more effective than using a purse or briefcase.

But many people wear overly loaded backpacks slung over one shoulder, which can pose problems with posture and lead to back issues.

Backpacks change the way individuals walk. Because the person is carrying around extra weight, he or she may lose balance or trip and fall, especially when going down steps.

5 Ways to Pack a ‘Green’ School Lunch (MS) - Many parents of school-aged children are interested in packing a healthy and environmentally friendly lunch for their children each day. However, they may have questions regarding how to do just that.

Kanata Lakes d e n t a l

This is the season for school lunches, as thousands of students will be heading back to the classroom ... and lunchroom.

For those who will be bringing a lunch from home, there are ways to make it healthy for the body and the planet.

HIGH QUALITY DENTAL CARE IN A GENTLE AND FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT

1. Choose foods the child will eat.

Nothing is more wasteful than a lunch that ends up in the trash rather than the stomach. Instead of experimenting with foods that one would hope a child will eat, select healthy items that have a past track record for success.

~ State of the art dental technology ~ Emergencies & new patients welcome ~ Extended evenings & Saturday hours ~ A convenient location at the Kanata Signature Centre

*FREE

2. Skip the brown bags. Certain children may relish the idea of bringing in a character-themed lunch box. Older children may scoff at the idea. But the fact is that disposable paper lunch bags are wasteful and reusable lunch carriers are much more eco-friendly. Today there are lunch bags that are subdued in color and style and are often insulated to keep food at the right temperature.

5. Use reusable containers. Rather than packing a sandwich in a plastic baggie or a piece of plastic wrap, select a series of sandwich holders, containers and the like that can transport the lunch contents to and from school. Sure they’ll have to be washed each night, but children won’t be contributing to extra waste.

4. Buy favorite foods in bulk. If the child loves cereal treats or whole-grain granola bars, buy the big box and store it in the pantry. This saves on packaging and extra trips to the store, both of which are wasteful.

3. Select organic foods. Whether the child is bringing in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a pizza on a pita, choose foods that are organically grown or local.

Supermarkets now stock the shelves with plenty of organic options that are free from pesticides and harmful growing practices. These foods are healthier and more sustainable.

(MS) - E-readers are palm-sized electronic devices that can offer newspapers, magazines and books as digital content. While they can be convenient for the recreational reader, e-books may be a boon to students as well.

The e-reader market exploded when Amazon introduced its Kindle and Kindle 2. Sony, Barnes & Noble and other companies have also introduced their own e-reader devices. While the mainstay of e-reader revenue is generated from downloaded fiction and nonfiction books, e-book reader companies are realizing the benefits of offering digital versions of textbooks as well. Amazon has already contracted with three textbook companies to offer digital editions. This could mark the move from cumbersome textbooks to compact information.

Many professors already instruct their students to go online for information, to read blogs or download digital content from Web sites capable of staying current in today’s increasingly fast news cycle. Soon they may be instructing them to purchase the latest editions of textbooks delivered right to an e-reader device.

There are several advantages to having textbook material available for e-readers. The first, and most obvious, is the weight issue. The average college student takes 5 classes per semester. That can equal 5 or more textbooks to purchase, each weighing several pounds. A student has the potential to be carrying 50 pounds on his or her back at any given time, and that can lead to injury.

In comparison, most e-readers weigh just a few ounces and can hold a thousand books or more, depending on file size. A student can carry all of the required textbooks right in a back pocket.

by E-Readers The next advantage is cost. While e-readers require an up-front cost of roughly $300, some textbooks can cost as much. Although the cost of textbook material delivered to an e-reader is still unknown, and likely based on the individual publisher, it may be more affordable than on-campus book store prices. Also, should a traditional textbook be lost, a student has to repurchase it. Many e-readers feature back-up ability, where a previously purchased book can be retrieved free from a database or storage device.

school’s requirements. This is similar to many schools requiring all students own a laptop.

Students who are unable to afford an e-reader may be subsidized for the device or be able to use student loans to pay for them.

E-readers can be advantageous in the classroom and students can also use them for their own personal purposes.

BS107658 Heavy textbooks may be replaced in the future as more schools adopt the use of e-readers to disseminate classroom materials.

Convenience is another factor for e-books.

Students simply browse wirelessly for their desired reading and download it in mere minutes. This is certainly more time-efficient than waiting on long lines at the campus bookstore or waiting for books to be delivered through the mail from online sources.

E-readers have the potential to be successful for school use, but they need to have the support of professors behind them. For a device like e-readers to garner broad acceptance, institutions may need to make the devices part of the

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

Keeko # 3761 and Yoshi # 3762 Keeko and Yoshi were found running down a highway together, they are obviously from the same home. They are good together but dislike other dogs and are not suited with young children. The shelter would like to see these two beautiful dogs placed together and will reduce the adoption fee for the right home. Keeko is about six years old and Yoshi is about three years old. They are housebroken and well-behaved, have lots of energy and enjoy going for long walks. Both are affectionate and friendly, they know some basic commands and would benefit from more training. They are typical huskies and can be quite vocal so a home in the country would be ideal. They enjoy each other’s company and will make a wonderful addition to their new home.

Supplies the shelter needs: Whiskas meaty selections dry cat food, dry kitten food, paper towels and bleach.

CARP FAIR

23

A legend of the Canadian music scene is playing the Carp Fair this fall.

Colin James has juggled his skills as a singer, guitarist and big-band leader so well over the years that diversity seems almost synonymous with his stellar career. He’s also been a restless voyager, traversing genres — from blues and rock to pop and swing and back again.

Throughout it all, Colin has always forged ahead, without regard to fads or trends, going wherever his wandering muse takes him.

When Colin set out to make Rooftops and Satellites, he had a vision for a gentler album, full of quiet, introspective songs.

“Despite my best intentions,” he says, laughing, “it didn’t turn out that way.”

The change came about as a result of his songwriting collaboration with Tom Wilson, founder of the 1990s alt-rockers Junkhouse and now a member of roots-rock trio Blackie & the Rodeo Kings.

“Tom and I really hit our stride together,” says James who cowrote eight of the album’s songs with Tom and Tawgs Salter, who has written for Edwin and produced the debut album by rising synth-pop star Lights. “Tom’s a super creative guy and he’s tapped in at all times and Tawgs is a hot up-and-comer.”

Rooftops and Satellites is coproduced by Colin and Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica).

The song for which Colin is most proud is the blue-eyed soul gem More Than You Needed, with its exquisite lyrics. For him, the song is the benchmark for how far he’s come as a composer.

“I’ve worked really hard on that,” says James, “and I believe the craft of writing shines through on this album.”

Colin is no stranger to writing memorable songs. His 1988 self-titled debut was the fastestselling album in Canadian history, thanks in large part to him having written two of its biggest hits: “Voodoo Thing” and “Five

Long Years.” That earned him his first of six Juno Awards and an opening spot on tour with Keith Richards. His star-crossed journey began even earlier.

A prairie-born child prodigy,

Colin demonstrated his prowess on the guitar before he was still in his teens and was discovered by blues guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan, who became a mentor and an inspiration to the

young artist.

James has never shied from exploring all of his musical tastes.

“Music is such a passion and a lifeforce for me,” says Colin, “I can’t help but be drawn to something that moves me. If it’s not pulling you in, then what’s the point?”

He adds: “There was a time when I was affected by a review that said ‘he should decide whether he’s a rock star or a swing artist’ or whatever.

I am a chameleon. I’ve learned to become okay with that and not make excuses for it. I realize that all the things that get you to where you’re going are important. As long as you keep striving to become better, that’s all that counts.”

With Rooftops and Satellites, Colin has done just that. It’s not a breakthrough disc or a comeback record, because Colin’s an established rock and blues institution who’s never gone away.

But it is an album that serves notice that Colin James just keeps on getting better.

White Pine Festival dream set to become a reality SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@msn.com

After months of planning, the White Pine Festival is just days away and organizers say there’s a wealth of activities in store at the inaugural event. They’ve built it, now they hope the people will come.

Co-organizers Art Smith, Mike Marcil and Glenn Arthur are putting the finishing touches on plans for the festival, which encompasses much of the town and offers a host of events of all kinds for all ages.

“It’s a day for the people of Arnprior,” says Smith. “We’ve got activities galore spread all over town. I hope we get the crowds to go with what we’ve built up.

Whether it’s a ball tournament, fashion show or kids’ crafts that tickle your fancy, you’ll find what you’re looking for at the White Pine Festival, says Smith.

And a great effort has been made to ensure everyone has a chance to attend, with free buses running regularly on Saturday from a number of stops in town.

“We’re trying to get out to all the seniors homes,” said Smith.

There have been a few cancellations to note, explained Smith.

The Friday evening glow ball golf tournament, Saturday’s airport events and the beach volleyball tournament will not be taking place.

DIANA UNDERWOOD Special to WCR

In a day and age where it is impossible to pull both adults and children away from their technology, the Village of Carp was the site of some old-fashioned family fun Aug. 14 when 18 residents set out to complete their homegrown version of ‘The Great Amazing Race’.

Starting at Scotiabank, they were required to complete a set of brain-teasers before finding their first location to be the Carp Farmers Market.

Visitors to the market were treated to teams running in costume, searching the stalls looking for the Petty

Fours counter where they received their first challenge as well as a yummy lolli-cake.

Teams were required to make and sell a sock puppet with all proceeds going to the West Carleton Food Bank.

Despite the rushed craftsmanship, the teams raised over $75 for their cause.

From there, teams were off to the Rivington Farm where their hosts had set up an obstacle course that included feeding a calf, baling hay, picking corn and herding. This was quite the memorable experience for those born and raised in the city.

After competing the course and toasting the Rivingtons, the teams were off to the Carp Memorial Hall, where they had a race to assemble a wooden 3D puzzle.

LET’S MAKE CANCER For information about cancer, services or to make a donation

After 45 minutes of frustration, lunch and a pint at the Cheshire Cat was a welcome break, only to be disrupted by a round of Dustin’s Impossible trivia.

The afternoon brought teams to the Marshal Homestead where they met Milli, her Studabaker and their Llama.

The race was completed at X-tream Paintball, where teams shot blindfolded after having to gather ammunition out in the field.

Everyone competing extends their deepest thanks to the Village of Carp, Carp Farmers Market, Rivington family, Cheshire Cat, X-Tream Paintball, and, of course, Milli Marshall for a great day.

Thank you Carp!

HITCHHIKING Also known as autostop, hitching, thumbing, tramping, or thumbing up a ride. In Ontario, hitchhiking is allowed as long as it is not done on any 400 series highway – pedestrians are restricted from entering these roadways.

Under section 185(3) of the Highway Traffic Act—a police officer may require the pedestrian to accompany him or her to the nearest intersecting highway on which pedestrians are not prohibited and the pedestrian shall comply with the request.

Last Friday police came upon a visitor from Israel who happened to be hitchhiking his way along Highway 417. As a courtesy, the officer gave him a lift into Kanata and wished him well.
