About 50 people participated in a spirited discussion about the future of their villages in a rural review input session at the West Carleton Community Complex Saturday.

It was obvious most of the participants, who were split into Galetta, Fitzroy Harbour, Dunrobin and Kinburn tables, want the rural charm of their areas preserved while receiving more amenities.

Many also made it clear they don’t want the same level as regulation as that in more urban areas.

It was the second of three meetings in West Carleton as part of a review of village plans that guide land use in the rural areas of the city.

It’s Carp’s turn next week, with a rural review meeting set for Tuesday, April 12 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Carp Fairgrounds.

Participants were asked what they would like their villages to look like in the future and what they thought were their areas’ main strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities.

There was some common focus with the area’s three empty schools and the railway line seen as both threats and opportunities.

There was also general consensus that more housing options for seniors are needed.

West Carleton-March Councillor Eli El-Chantiry was delighted by the turnout and the enthusiastic participation.

“It’s wonderful to see the interest of people in their community,” he said after the session had ended. “I thought the discussion was phenomenal.

I learned so much today.”

Even now you can hear it stirring: a new garden at Memorial Hall; a bronze sculpture honouring its war dead across from the fire station; and, of course, the recently approved eight-storey retirement residency signalling the village’s first commercial building permit in more than 10 years.

Carp is awakening from a long slumber.

However, the sleepy little town that has remained relatively static in a commercial sense for the last 30 years, nevertheless recalls its bustling past.

A resident who submitted a letter to the city in support of the retirement project behind Memorial Hall described what is

used to be like: “While growing up in a large family on a farm in the Carp area during the 1940s, I can recall very vividly looking forward to our parents taking us to the Village on a Saturday evening when most farmers and their families came to town to do their weekly grocery shopping and to visit with each other.

“How times have changed - downtown Carp at that time was a bustling community consisting of three grocery stores, three restaurants, a General Motors and a Chrysler dealership, a blacksmith shop, a shoe repair business, a bank, a dentist, two medical doctors, a farm co-op and a flour mill.”

That’s the kind of vitality developer Cris Karson wants to bring back to Carp.

Opinion

To every politician there is a season The seasons are changing, and so too is the political landscape. While the federal election is still weeks away, with the deadline for candidates to register on Monday, April 11, change has already come to the provincial riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills.

Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come.

By now you’ve heard that Jack MacLaren, former president of the Ontario Landowners Association, has beaten longtime MPP Norm Sterling for the provincial Progressive Conservative nomination.

Sterling, 69, has served the area well, but he has been around since 1977, the time of Bill Davis and The Big Blue Machine. It was time for a change after seven premiers and 34 years at Queen’s Park.

He served in the cabinets of premiers Davis, Miller, Harris and Eves in nine different portfolios. A earned a good, sterling if you will, reputation.

But it says something that even a last-minute endorsement from former premier Mike Harris was not enough to stem the tide against Sterling.

Maybe it is a sign that, while this riding might not change its political stripe any time soon, the

Tories neglect the far right grassroots at their peril. And it is a sign to Premier Dalton McGuinty that his re-election battle in October will be an uphill slog. After all, people are paying more for everything, from electricity, the HST, health premiums, cleaning products, you name it.

People are fed up of useless regulations for farmers down to what we eat at fast food restaurants to what type of dogs we can have, that only seem to keep busybody bureaucrats in their ironclad jobs in Toronto, with cushy pensions and rock solid job security. People hate being talked down to from Toronto. They want their voice to matter.

There will be some who characterize this move as another riding captured by the OLA, painting it as eastern Ontario’s version of the Tea Party movement. Now the OLA is not everyone’s cup of tea. But there’s something going on here.

And no, it’s not some nefarious plot, as was insinuated recently by Liberal cabinet minister Bob Chiarelli.

The Liberals may mean well, but it’s easy to do supposedly great things with other people’s money. When it goes wrong, you’ll pay the price.

Winning the right to be left alone There’s a story here predicting that digital books will eventually outsell the real kind.

According to an article in Fortune magazine, the number of ereaders sold this year will be 18 million, compared with 900,000 two years ago. The people who buy those shiny, glowing things will want electronic books to read on them.

And so it goes. Already, newspaper book review sections are beginning to list electronic best-sellers alongside the traditional ones.

There are a number of ways to look at this. There is the sentimental way, which you have read many times already: books feel nice in your hand, smell good, don’t need batteries to read, etc.

But you know, people talked about quill pens the same way, and typewriters, when the personal computer started to arrive. They talked about 78 records and 45 records and 33 1/3 records and even cassette tapes.

None of this stopped the next thing from coming along.

Another way of looking at it is from the economic point of view, and here the jury is still out. Some of the people selling ereaders will make money. Probably, the sellers of ebooks — which are not necessarily the booksellers we now

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town know — will make money. Right now, writers worry that they may not make money, because an entirely new set of royalty rules is coming into being.

But perhaps it will work out. That will make environmentalists happy, or at least some of them, because not so many trees will die to make the paper that traditional books are printed on. Mind you, there’s a lot of plastic to be used up making the ebooks.

From your point of view and mine, perhaps the most important question about any new technology is this: Will it be annoying? And here, the ebook passes with flying colours.

If there’s an ebook in the room, it won’t annoy you. If there’s an ebook sitting next to you on the bus, it won’t annoy you.

So that’s good. It shows that some new

technology can be unobtrusive. The best can even create more private space. The same cannot be said of much of the old technology.

I did a round trip to Toronto last week.

The way down was on the train. It was quiet. No muzak, no screens. People read books, real or e-, tapped on computers, listened to iPods. Nobody bothered anybody else. That was nice.

New technology allowed people to amuse themselves without bothering other people.

The way back was on the bus, because there had been a train derailment. Nice bus, friendly driver, good service, quick.

Except that a movie was projected on the screens overhead for our enjoyment.

That would have been possible to ignore, but the sound was projected for our enjoyment as well. So those of us who wanted to amuse ourselves by reading a book or newspaper, not to mention those of who wanted to sleep, had to fight our way past the movie soundtrack.

By and large, were the bus passengers grateful that there was a movie? Would they have complained if there had not been one? I don’t know.

Obviously, the bus company feels a need to amuse the passengers, and it is not alone. It is difficult to enter any

public space without something blaring at you.

The comforting thought is that it may pass. As more and more people carry their own amusement systems with them — their music, their books, their computers, their smartphones — the big screen and the blaring music become redundant.

Life in the restaurant and on the bus and in the gym becomes more liveable.

Now, other things become redundant as well, such as conversation with strangers and looking out the window at the scenery, but we may have lost them long ago. In return, we regain the ability to be left alone, no small blessing in a noisy age.

Tales out of schoolhouses

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Have you ever wondered why the old one-room schoolhouses you drive by – on Dunrobin, Second Line or Carp roads and elsewhere in the Ottawa Valley – seem to look the same?

Their appearance has altered in some cases: one is home to The Cheshire Cat; another on March Road is a plastic surgeon’s office; still others have become garages or private residences.

But the almost A-frame façade and four long windows per side maintain their distinctive appeal regardless of changes brought on by their new roles. It’s as if the schools refuse to give up their status as the community’s focal point, despite the last one closing almost 20 years ago.

Joy Forbes knows why schools followed the same basic design template. And she knows why they seem to persist, as if ready to assert their pride in having been the foundation for one of the world’s best educational systems.

Forbes is author of Perseverance, Pranks and Pride: Tales of the one-room schoolhouse.

“They got the drawings out of the Eaton’s catalog. It was the cheapest way to make a school,” Forbes said. “There’s still a lot of pride. People are here tonight from No. 1 Fitzroy. People still get together for school reunions.”

The longer Eli El-Chantiry delays deciding whether or not he will run as a Liberal against PC candidate Jack Mac Laren in October’s provincial election, the less chance the two will get off to a

good start after the election.

El-Chantiry said many disillusioned moderate conservatives have urged him to run against the West Carleton farmer who defeated Tory veteran Norm Sterling in a party nomination race last week.

They are upset to see members of the Carleton Landowners Association “hi-

Patrol Officers in the West Carleton area responded to 44 general calls for service from the public for the reporting period of March 25 to 31.

If you hear a strange and unusual noise coming from within your house, please, do not pass it off, or reason it away, without at least first investigating it.

At around 7:15 a.m. on Thursday, March 31, a female homeowner awoke to the sound of a loud bang coming from downstairs.

Without taking the time to investigate it, or yell out “Hey, who’s there,” or call police for assistance, the homeowner rolled back over and went back to sleep.

Later, when she went downstairs, she discovered that some unidentified person had forced open the front mental door and left it wide open.

Fortunately, upon surveying the home, nothing was found to be disturbed or stolen.

The complainant told police that

he left his house on Kinburn Side Road in Antrim, through the front door shortly before 7 a.m. and found everything to be in order.

BREAK AND ENTER March 27: 100 section of Bayview Drive, Constance Bay: A home in Constance Bay was broken into sometime over the weekend on Friday, March 25 while the owner was away.

Unidentified thieves entered the locked home through a basement window and spent an undetermined amount of time searching and rifling through personal belongings.

On top of searching through dresser drawers and cabinets, the culprits used a chisel and hammer to pry open a safe.

Reported stolen were jewelry, various international currency, and electronic items.

The latest incident occurred sometime between 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 27 and 5:30 a.m. on Monday, March 28, unidentified persons destroyed two light stands and a mailbox that were located at the end of her driveway.

March 28: Ridgetop Road, Dunhaven: A second mischief incident on Ridgetop was also reported to police.

Sometime between 10 p.m. on Sunday, March 27 and 6:30 a.m. on Monday, March 28, unidentified persons smashed up a globe style light post that was located at the end of a complainant’s driveway.

March 25: Ridgeside Farm Drive, March Rural: A complainant called police at around

7:30 a.m. on Friday to report a suspicious vehicle that was abandoned and stuck at the edge of her property. She was concerned that the vehicle might have been stolen.

Commemorative Naming Proposal – “Dr. Roland Armitage Hall”

In 2002, City Council created the Commemorative Naming Program as a means to formally recognize individuals who demonstrate excellence, courage or exceptional service to the citizens of Ottawa, the Province of Ontario, or Canada. This program provides the opportunity for the contribution and dedication of these individuals to be honoured through the naming of municipal streets, parks and facilities and parts thereof.

In 2002, City Council created the Commemorative Naming Program as a means to formally recognize individuals who demonstrate excellence, courage or exceptional service to the citizens of Ottawa, the Province of Ontario, or Canada. This program provides the opportunity for the contribution and dedication of these individuals to be honoured through the naming of municipal streets, parks and facilities and parts thereof.

Further to an application received under the Commemorative Naming Program, the City is considering a proposal to rename Riverfront Park, located at 1730 Sixth Line Road, as “Sheila McKee Park.”

Further to an application received under the Commemorative Naming Program, the City is considering a proposal to name the hall at the West Carleton Community Complex, located at 5670 Carp Road, as “Dr. Roland Armitage Hall.”

Sheila McKee (deceased) had an extensive and extraordinary record of community service.

She moved to Kanata in 1968 and became well-known as a reporter and editor of the Kanata Standard. Sheila then held public office in the former City of Kanata. She was elected by her community as Alderman for Beaverbrook East in 1982 and served three years. She returned to Kanata City Council in 1991, representing Kanata North, and later March Rural, until the creation of the amalgamated City of Ottawa in 2000. During her time in office, Sheila served as a founding Commissioner of Kanata Hydro, Member of the Pinhey’s Point Board and Trustee on the Kanata Public Library Board. After amalgamation, Sheila remained active in her community, serving as President and Vice-President of the March Rural Community Association and President of Community Child Care Ottawa. Sheila was also an active volunteer with the Kanata Golf Club, the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association, the South March Branch of the Women’s Institute, and the City of Ottawa’s Rural Summit Task Force.

Dr. Roland Armitage has demonstrated excellence, courage, and exceptional service to the citizens of Ottawa, the Province of Ontario, and Canada. At the age of 17, Roland Armitage enlisted in the Royal Canadian Artillery during World War II. He served on the Western Front of the European Theatre, including fighting in the Liberation of France. He has been awarded the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal, the France and Germany Star, the Defense Medal for six months service in Britain, the 1939-45 Star and the Normandy Medal by the Government of France. Following the war, he obtained his Veterinary Medicine and Doctor of Veterinary Surgeon degrees at the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph.

As a veterinarian, Dr. Armitage cared for thousands of horses and earned the Veterinarian of the Year award from the Ontario Veterinarian Association in 1983. Dr. Armitage has been a leader in both local and national horse racing, serving as the President of the Canadian Trotting Association (1976-1981) and President and General Manager of the Rideau-Carleton Raceway (1981-1991). From 1991 to 1994, Dr. Armitage served his community as Mayor of the Township of West Carleton and Member of the Council for the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton.

To honour Dr. Roland Amitage’s legacy of service, the City of Ottawa has been asked to name the hall at the West Carleton Community Complex as “Dr. Roland Armitage Hall.”

To honour Sheila McKee’s significant contributions to her community, the City of Ottawa has been asked to rename Riverfront Park as “Sheila McKee Park.”

Letter to the Editor

Conservatives have eroded Canada’s reputation in world stage most obvious workings of human rights and humanitarian law. In the case of Afghan detainees, his government’s actions suggest they have little interest in respecting such laws.

Also in regard to Afghanistan, they have routinely placed military ahead of diplomatic solutions – a far cry from Canada’s earlier and admired role as diplomatic broker and peace-maker.

Lastly, the O’Connor/Harper government have taken steps whose goal seems to be to silence a number of highly respected Canadian organizations in the field of international community development and social justice.

For example: without meaningful consultation and based on what appears to be their own mis-information, they have slashed funding to the Canadian Council for International Cooperation and to KAIROS, an ecumenical, multi-faith international development organization.

Through their direct interference, they have also so weakened the work of the once-lauded and politically-impartial “Rights and Democracy” that it is now a source of ridicule across the international human rights community.

As a result, many of Canada’s remaining international community development and social justice organizations are frightened of being closed down if their work doesn’t march to the Harper/ O’Connor drum – a situation akin to having to consider crippling yourself in or-

down conditions – you have to be a ‘good’ woman in O’Connor/Harper’s book – conditions seen by many other governments and most women’s organizations as denying women the right to make their own choices.

O’Connor/Harper have consistently refused to raise important concerns about the Israeli government’s human rights record – concerns shared by a number of highly-respected international human rights organizations. Canada used to be a principled and non-partisan leader on the continuing challenges in the Middle East.

Not any more.

The O’Connor/Harper government has also cruelly refused to defend the rights of Omar Khadr, a Canadian citizen detained by the U.S. military when he was a 15-year-old child soldier, and now imprisoned for eight years without a fair trial.

Other governments, including Britain, have stood up for the basic rights of their citizens in similar circumstances. Not the O’Connor/Harper government.

As well, Harper/O’Connor have used every conceivable form of legal scheming to avoid any accountability for Canada’s practice of transferring battlefield detainees in Afghanistan into the hands of Afghan officials where they face the welldocumented risk of torture. Such transfers are strictly against international law.

When he was Minister of Defence, O’Connor appeared not to understand the

To the editor: Since they have been in power, the party of MP Gordon O’Connor and his boss Prime Minister Stephen Harper have sadly undermined Canada’s leadership role in the international protection of human rights.

The truth is that many community and other civil society leaders around the world now see Canada as an often weak and obstructive, sometimes even hostile voice for social justice. In 40 years of international travel, and especially since the Harper/O’Connor government came to power, I have noticed more and more overseas contacts commenting with dismay at this unnecessary and embarrassing turn of events.

How has Canada’s earlier standing as a champion of human rights been so diminished under Harper/O’Connor? Here are just a few likely reasons.

For years the Harper/O’Connor government actively tried to block acceptance of the groundbreaking United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Declaration was finally accepted by the UN in 2007, but without Canada’ support. In fact O’Connor’s government only accepted the Declaration, with considerable reluctance, in late 2010.

O’Connor/Harper have slashed funding to organizations that advocate stronger protection of women’s human rights. They might talk a different line, but their cuts have done (and will do) terrible harm to women’s rights on the ground in many countries and here at home. Before O’Connor/Harper, Canada was beginning to emerge as an international leader on women’s human rights. Not today.

Along the same lines, in 2010 the current government launched a major international initiative on maternal and newborn health.

But they immediately threw

El-Chantiry could run for Liberals without quitting councillor job was the fact that he had name recognition. He has done in my view both good and bad things for the area. This is of course natural with any politician who is faced with difficult issues.

While I have no issues about a person changing jobs, it should be for the right reasons. The question that West Carleton residents have is: “Is this the right reason?”

Unfortunately Mr. Watson’s election campaign promise for a code of conduct for councillors is not yet in place, and as I found out during the election campaign last year, councillors are not bound to the code of conduct other city employees must abide by resulting in a do what you want type of processes available to Mr. El-Chantiry.

As of yet, there is no applicable Ontario Liberal candidate selection meeting scheduled according to the party website, even though some other locations have been either scheduled

or held. From my perspective, Mr. ElChantiry has at least until that meeting is held to determine what he will do.

Mr. El-Chantiry is allowed to campaign and run for any other elected office without taking either a leave of absence or resigning.

Certainly there already is a call for Mr. El-Chantiry to leave or resign his position on council should he progress on achieving the nomination. His actions will no doubt be scrutinized as he will be seeking the provincial support of a number of the same constituents who he will be no longer representing at the local level.

Regardless of what decision he makes, the next several months will prove to be very exciting from a political perspective.

To begin to believe that this announcement was something new and strictly as a result of Mr. MacLaren’s winning the PC nomination should, however, be subject to review.

As I campaigned last year, I attended a number of events where Mr. MacLaren was present. He certainly was visible and active in the ward and its media, so his victory, while an upset, was not one which could have been totally discounted, even given the ‘incumbency factor’ held by Mr. Sterling.

Letter to the Editor

MacLaren doesn’t represent PC values To the editor: The results of the Conservative nomination meeting last Thursday for Carleton-Mississippi Mills is not welcome news for anyone who is an actual conservative. Jack MacLaren ran and won as a conservative, but he is anything but a conservative.

Anyone who has followed his career knows that first and foremost he is an opportunist. Over the years he has flirted with the Liberals and the Green Party in an attempt to gain support for his singleminded, backwards philosophy.

Now he is going to try and join Randy Hillier in taking his libertarian message to Queen’s Park. What exactly is the message?

Both Hillier and MacLaren have sung the same song many times, smaller government, lower taxes and their cornerstone issue, individual property rights.

Obviously they can’t really deliver on any of these issues; the first two being generic promises kicked around by virtually every party.

If you look at the converse, who actually is in favour of bigger government and higher taxes?

Since MacLaren is now our conservative candidate, he needs to be questioned closely on exactly how he would reduce government and lower taxes.

Remember, this is the same man who loved to pose with a shotgun and spearheaded the ‘back-off government’ in this region. Now he wants us to send him to Queen’s Park so he can work on your

behalf ... really? How can we trust you, knowing your history and your rhetoric against government?

How can we trust you to work on behalf of all residents of this riding when you fought against everyone who opposed your narrow agenda?

However, the major theme for MacLaren and his mentor Hillier is property rights, and this is where we should all be concerned. MacLaren has paraded down streets and highways and repeated in halls across this riding that individual property rights should trump all else. When he says government has no rights on your land what he is really saying is the law has no rights. Your land, your law!

The election is months away, but voters owe it to themselves regardless of your party preferences to look closely as to what this man actually stands for. It may be a lot of things but they are not what are commonly known as conservative values in this province.

The leader of the Progressive Conservative party, Tim Hudak, let Norm Sterling down in letting a candidate who does not represent conservative values run. However, what’s done is done.

Mr. Sterling should seriously consider running against MacLaren as an independent conservative.

That way the voters in Carleton-Mississippi Mills would get an opportunity to discover for themselves, who really is the conservative here.

Villages need citizen input in updating plans

Galetta residents at the rural review input meeting Saturday stressed that while they aren’t adverse to development, it should be low density.

“They like to be able to see the fields and hear the birds,” said city staffer Amy Falkner, reporting on the visioning exercise discussion. They feel it is important to protect the environment.”

Galetta isn’t a typical village because it doesn’t have a commercial core but instead revolves around the community centre, she said.

“It’s more a quiet bedroom community ... but that’s what they like.”

It was noted there are plenty of large lots available for infilling of residential development.

However, for larger areas of vacant land, residents want some say on how they will be developed, she said. The bush area behind the community centre should be preserved for rec-

for the criminally insane there,” said one person.

In the future a Fitzroy train station could be built to take advantage of the rail corridor.

The residents suggested water quality and drainage concerns needed to be addressed.

Another weakness are the hydro corridors going through the community.

Residents criticized Hydro One for its lack of communication with the commmunity and for fencing off a popular trail without any consultation.

They also said provincial park could also be more amenable to joint ventures in attracting visitors to the area. “It doesn’t feel like the park is part of the community,” they noted.

Continued from front El-Chantiry said he was especially impressed that the communities, which had tended to compete against one another in the past, are talking about how they can work together as neighbours.

He noted that city staff will process all the input and return in the fall to present proposed village plans and vision statements in a new set of public meetings.

They will also come back with proposals on how to address concerns expressed at Saturday’s session.

In his welcoming remarks, Adam Brown of the city’s rural affairs department, said the village plans for the four areas had been taken from the previous Township of West Carleton Official Plan, so were in need of review and updating. People can still provide input, preferably by May 16, through the website Ottawa.ca/ruralreview.

Public sector employees basking on sunshine list LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Neighbourhood Watch works to keep the lights on CONST. PETER JEON Ottawa Police Service

Yes! Your calls can really make a difference. Not convinced?

Then, just ask the three urban amigos about their experience on Stonecrest Road after they got caught destroying a bunch of lamp posts on Ridgetop Drive.

It was shortly after 10 p.m. on Sunday, March 27 when police received a mischief to property complaint from a homeowner in the Dunhaven community.

The caller stated that an unidentiďŹ ed person had just smashed up his lamp posts with a baseball bat and was driving away in a vehicle with Ontario licence plate BKJV419.

Upon questioning the teens, it was determined that the 19-yearold driver from Stittsville was solely responsible for the damage of the lamp posts.

His excuse for his actions was that he had recently gotten into a heated argument with his father and was kicked out of the house.

After packing up his belongings, including his aluminum baseball bat, the teen picked up his two friends and drove around

the rural west parts of Ottawa smashing up lights and mailboxes, supposedly to vent some of his frustrations.

During questioning the investigating ofďŹ cer initially got the sense that the teen was sincere in his remorse and willingness to pay for the damages.

However, on subsequent investigation, it was discovered that the driver was also responsible for several other mischief complaints that were reported into police the following day.

As a result, the driver was criminally charged for mischief to property and ordered to appear in court.

As you can see from this call, it is important to report all suspicious and criminal activity to the police and to your community.

Thanks to this one homeowner who made the call to police, we got the opportunity to see the faces behind the bat and to hold them accountable for their actions.

And, thanks to all the other homeowners who reported in their complainants, we got to see the path of destruction the teens caused throughout their rural playground.

Among the city’s top-paid public employees last year were three bus drivers, a handful of mechanics and six librarians.

The so-called annual sunshine list, which discloses the salaries of public-sector employees who earn more than $100,000, was released last week.

Some of the city’s top big wigs, including city manager Kent Kirkpatrick ($281,590.54 plus $7,827 in beneďŹ ts), parks and recreation manager Dan Chenier ($278,262 plus $6,706) and deputy city manager Steve Kanellakos ($272,877 plus $7,709) are on the list.

The city’s top-paid employee was Dr. Isra Levy, the chief medical ofďŹ cer of health, who had a salary of $308,301 in 2010.

But it’s not just fat cats who managed to earn more than $100,000.

City employees ranging from bus drivers to public health doctors made the list.

Balwant Narula was the city’s highest-paid bus driver, earning $104,827 in 2010.

Driver Francois Danis made $103,008, while a third operator, Abdirizak Mohamed pulled in

$100,492.

Four mechanics made the list, as did a number of OC Transpo managers, including general manager Alain Mercier, whose salary was $186,116 (plus $7,511 in taxable beneďŹ ts). The chief of transit maintenance, William Atkinson, earned $145,239 (plus $12,224 in taxable beneďŹ ts), while Laurie Blackstone, the manager of transit operations, made $122,574.

The total number of supervisors, civilian members and sworn police ofďŹ cers from the Ottawa Police Service who made more than $100,000 was 395. Some of those ofďŹ cers’ salaries didn’t actually hit the $100,000 mark, but they earned more than that due to extra pay for other on-call duties. Police Chief Vern White earned $233,386, plus $14,882 in beneďŹ ts.

Ottawa Fire Services lists 232 employees on the sunshine list, including Chief Jeff deHooge, who pulled in $153,772, plus $6,196 in beneďŹ ts.

In all, the provincial list includes 1,092 employees who work for the City of Ottawa. But other public-sector workers in the city earned even more.

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers.

Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them.

That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Atom Warriors win league title It was a terrific end to the season for the boys who had just played their hearts out at a tournament in Kingston March 25 to 27 where they won five out of six games and recorded three consecutive shutouts. .They lost 4-1 to a strong Brockville team in the final game and the Warriors had been considerably rattled by the injury of one of their players who had to be removed from the ice on a gurney by paramedics. However, the player didn’t suffer any serious injury and was able to join the team on the ice as they skated to league-play victory.

A great crowd came out for the Atom B2 finals recently, and the West Carleton fans especially made plenty of noise with horns and tambourines and held up posters.

They could even be heard in the parking lot on March 29 at the Cavanagh Sensplex in Kinburn.

With the points the Warriors already had in their playoff series against Osgoode-Rideau, a win or a tie was needed.

The end result was a 1-1 tie. The two teams were very evenly matched and showed great sportsmanship.

So when is a community hall not a community hall?

Ask the crew and cast of Rural Root Theatre and they will tell you it’s during the performance of their upcoming show, All for Your Delight, directed by Ivo Mokros.

The set decorating team will be busy as they transform the second floor of the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre into a turn of the 20th century Music Hall complete with all the traditional lavish décor.

The set design team of Simon Wellman and Claudette Brisson says: “We hope the audience will feel like they’ve gone back in time. We are aiming to create an atmosphere reminiscent of the day when every city and town in England had their own Music Hall.”

The show is a traditional mix of melodrama, vaudeville, comedy, dancing and song with music performed by a seven piece orchestra under the direction of Matt Dufresne.

For the dancing, the cast is working with the guidance and instruction of Melissa Demers, the very talented and energetic founder of the West Carleton School of Performing Arts.

Pat Weir and Lois Thompson, with the help of several seamstresses have put together a fabulous selection of colorful costumes to suit those glamorous show days.

Weir managed to recruit the ACW (women’s’ group) of St. George’s Anglican Church Fitzroy Harbour, to design and make the wonderful assortment of fancy hats required for the ladies in the show Rural Root Theatre would like to sell out opening night on May

Value by Design - New Homes Offer What Resale Homes Cannot!

Written by Greater Ottawa Home Builders Association From layout to landscaping, new homes are designed for the way we live today and the things that are important to us. That means style, convenience, flexibility and conservation.

New homes offer layouts that are attractive and practical to live in. Open-concept designs, vaulted ceilings and skylights create spaciousness and brightness, while features such as half walls make it easier to furnish and keep the home tidy. Today’s new homes are also rich in design details that add character and style, such as highquality wooden trim and moulding, rounded drywall corners, archways and built-in shelves.

Increasingly, buyers are opting for home offices, entertainment rooms and even exercise rooms. Typically, new homes are built with flexibility, adaptability and the long term in mind. Today’s extra bedroom or den can easily become tomorrow’s home office, and a ready-tofinish basement may be transformed into separate living

quarters for grown children or aging relatives.

Convenience is designed right into every new home.

Laundry facilities are located close to living and sleeping areas. Mudrooms keep extra outerwear out of sight and prevent dampness and dirt from being trekked into the house. Storage space, often at a premium in older homes, is plentiful and easily accessible. Kitchens feature effective work spaces and easy-to-reach cupboards and pull-out shelves, and today s modern finishing materials mean less time spent on cleaning and maintaining your home.

More and more, environmental considerations are incorporated at the very outset at the planning and design stage. From energy-efficient construction to waterconserving fixtures and recycling and composting stations, new homes are designed to conserve resources both during construction and later. And often home owners will end up saving money on utility bills for years to come.

The marketplace is also seeing the emergence of many

exciting, innovative products that combine function, looks and price with a sensitivity to the environment. Like pavers for patios and walkways made from recycled tires, ceramic tiles from recycled glass and carpeting from recycled soft drink containers, to mention a few.

The emphasis on design goes beyond each individual home. Today s builders take great pride in building communities where people feel at home and part of the neighbourhood. They preserve the natural landscape of new developments and build walkways, bike-paths, playgrounds and community gathering spots. And even the simplest houses have architectural features that contribute to an integrated and visually pleasing streetscape.

The builders of today’s new homes and communities are building for you and your lifestyle! To find out more, visit the professional builders in your area, tour their model homes, talk to sales staff, and take a walk through the developments. Discover the real value of buying new!

Time changes many things but love & memory ever clings.

A booklet of commemorative verses is available for viewing at our office to help you get through this difficult time.

Thank You

John Joseph “Jack” Hicke

Jack, Lorna, John and Tanya Murdoch wish to extend their thanks for expressions of sympathy and care received following the loss of Wade. There is an emptiness in our lives that will never be filled; kindnesses coming from friends and family (cards, flowers, food, memorial donations) will always be remembered. A very special thank you to those who helped in making March 12th such a memorable day, a true celebration in tribute to a full and happy life. Our appreciation goes to Eldon Smith and staff, especially for their efforts in accommodating all in attendance at the Funeral Home, Pastor Dan and Sue Bennett for the lovely message and music at the service, and Bud Lindsay and the group at White Lake for their unwavering support.

Our sincere thanks to those friends whose contributions to the evening were musical, to Dave Fridgen for technical support, “hostess” Roxanne Barr, Randy Paulen, ADHS and AJ Charbonneau School for projection equipment.

Our wholehearted thanks goes to Chris and Susie Kaerbye, David Ridgen and Kathie Kneller (multimedia presentations), Pete and Lisa Landon (technical coordination), John Scott (MC), Todd Sparling (Eulogist), Karen Barsoski, Dave Connelly, Dave Aldridge, Clint and Tiffany Duff, Darren and Jacki England and Matt and Cathy Sully; thanks not only for your efforts on this day, but for everyday, for knowing and loving Wade - together with Scott Wilson, Brian and Julie Armsden, John Ruckpaul, Shawn Hamilton, Dennis Hiller, Eoin Scobie, Rob O’Hara, Scott Anglin, Sheldon and Margot Marcellus, Bruce McDermid, Kevin Wilson, Mark Cunningham, Greg Connelly, Chris Chateauvert. To this unique group of friends, the bond you share is uncommon; may you continue to be inspirited by your dedication to each other, as Wade was during his lifetime. We have been fortunate to learn that many of you have felt a part of our family over the years; please know that you will always be family to us. Most of all, our every heartfelt thanks to Wade, for his many, extraordinary gifts.

CRAIG

Sept. 27, 1964 – April 6, 2010 The blow was great, The shock severe.

We little thought, The end was near, And only those who have lost can tell, The pain of parting without farewell.

More each day we miss you, Son and brother, Friends may think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow, That lies within our hearts concealed.

Forever missed by Mom, Dad, Ken, Kim and Penny

She is the place we came from, our first home and she’s the map we follow with every step we take.

She’s was our first love, our first friend, and nothing, not time, not space, not even death can separate us.

The Fitzroy Harbour Soccer Club is starting its 25th season of offering adult recreational soccer to West Carleton and surrounding areas.

For 2011 the club will have seven adult teams in the Ottawa Carleton Soccer League. This includes a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreational team, three menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreational teams, two old-timer teams (+35) and for

the ďŹ rst time a masters team (+50).

Although some of the teams are fully subscribed, there still remain many openings for players wishing to participate.

In particular the club is seeking players for its Division 4 menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreational team that plays games Tuesdays and for both the old-timer and masters teams that will play Friday evenings.

Membership has no residency restrictions. In fact, last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams were comprised of players from across Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west end and also included players from both Lanark and Renfrew counties.

Regardless of previous playing experience, the club will welcome all new members.

Membership fees remain amongst the

lowest in the league. Regular members will pay $170 and full-time students $140.

Old-timer and masters practices are held Tuesday evenings at the Kinburn Community Centre where all three teams practice together.

Registration and contacts for more information can be found on the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site, www.ďŹ tzroysoccer.com.

April 7 2011 - WEST CARLETON REVIEW

Fitzroy adult soccer welcomes players

Nature

Soon will come the holey birds With winter still gasping its final death throes, a number of spring phenomena are biding their time in making an appearance.

At the time of writing, the deafening choruses of Spring Peepers and Chorus Frogs do not yet greet the night. Nor do writhing masses of mating Garter Snakes currently liven forest edges. However, all that will change with the next blast of warm, southern air.

With the southerly flow will come swarms of migrating birds.

Fox Sparrows will be among the first to return, scratching up a storm as they kick back dead leaves in search of seeds and insects.

The air will come alive with the chatter of graceful Tree Swallows, their iridescent

green-blue backs reflecting the sun when they bank.

As soon as the white-breasted swallows arrive, they start squabbling over abandoned woodpecker homes and birdhouses. As they are cavity-adopting birds, Tree Swallows must take whatever is available.

BLUE NOTES Oddly, another blue-backed bird is the first back in its group.

Eastern Bluebirds are thrushes and, except for their hardy cousins American Robins, are the first thrushes to return to our region.

It is by no coincidence that Eastern Bluebirds and Tree Swallows are the first of their kind to return.

If you are a bird that builds a nest on a tree limb, nest sites are

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way

plentiful. But if you depend on either a woodpecker-made hole or one that rotted into existence where a limb broke off the trunk in which to place your nest, there really are not that many

choices. Larger birds also nest in tree cavities and these too tend to come back earlier than their non-cavity nesting relatives.

Wood Ducks arrive before other small ducks, such as Bluewinged Teal.

Wood Ducks nest in holes in trees while teal lay their eggs atop mounds in marshes.

In the flycatcher world, Great Crested Flycatchers come back long before Eastern Wood-Pewees and Least Flycatchers do, even though all three nest in hardwood forests. The difference? Great Crested are the only flycatchers to nest in tree cavities!

Other cavity adopters prefer to remain here for the winter. By staying behind, White-breasted Nuthatches, Eastern ScreechOwls, and Black-capped Chickadees get first dibs on cavities.

So why the drive to either stay behind or come back early to exploit this type of nest site? Why not just build a nest on a tree limb, like so many other birds do?

The answer is simple. Placing your eggs inside a tree cavity increases the chances of them becoming young birds.

Perhaps that is because the eggs are hidden from hungry eyes or that a cavity offers better protection from the elements.

Not only do birds find tree cavities desirable. Flying Squirrels and Gray Squirrels inhabit smaller cavities. Porcupines and Raccoons den in larger ones.

One thing for sure; with the next blast of warm southern air, the Holey Wars will once again be start anew!

April 20 event promotes youth sports Carleton University has introduced the SAGE (Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship) Program in the Ottawa area this year.

SAGE is run through the global organization, SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise). The initiative of SAGE is to encourage high school students to create and implement projects which benefit local and global communities.

West Carleton Secondary School (WCSS) is the only Ottawa area school participating in the program this year.

One of its projects is the Cam Harvey Memorial Rugby Tournament to be held on Wednesday April 20 from 1 to 2:15 p.m. The tournament is in memory of for-

mer WCSS student, Cameron Harvey.

There will be a rugby tournament going on throughout the day. All fourth-period classes will have the opportunity to raise $50 as a whole in order to go to watch the WCSS rugby team play a game.

The money raised will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life event held in May at WCSS, The SAGE Team will be running a barbecue.

Any money from that will go towards purchasing sports equipment for a disadvantaged school in the Ottawa area.

The purpose of the tournament is to encourage students to participate in sports.

Not only are WCSS student’s learning about what it is like to be involved on school sports teams but we will also be able to give sports equipment to deserving children.

City floats moving garbage pickup to every two weeks The City of Ottawa released the Solid Waste Service Level Review report containing recommended changes to residential, curb-side waste collection services that are expected to save taxpayers $9 million annually or a 10 per cent reduction from the current tax bill associated with waste collection.

The staff report provides service level recommendations for the next collection contract that would: • Provide a consistent level of service to all parts of the city; • Implement weekly green bin pickup year-round;

• Retain blue and black box pick up on alternating weeks; • Pick up residual waste every two weeks; and • Implement a special diaper and incontinence products pickup program for those who need it on the alternate week of residual waste pick up.

These recommendations result from an

Spring burn ban in effect Ottawa Fire Services has a burn ban in effect to prevent the rapid spread of grass and brush fires. The ban will remain until conditions improve and the green grass starts to show through.

Residents are reminded that they must first obtain a fire permit before they have a fire in the open air. Permit holders are then required to call 613-580-2880 prior to burning to ensure there is not a burn ban in effect.

Substantial fines may be issued to residents who are not in possession of a valid fire permit or are found to be non-compliant to conditions and regulations within their permit. Fire permits are available at all Client Service Centres and Ottawa Fire Services’ Rural Administrative offices. A list of these sites, hours of operation and more information on fire permits can be found on ottawa. ca or by calling 3-1-1.

in-depth study into solid waste collection best practices in other jurisdictions and a rigorous public consultation process over the past two months. A move to the recommended collection system promotes maximum waste diversion and preserves the life of the municipal landfill.

Residents are invited to provide their feedback on the service level review at ottawa.ca,

where a dedicated page has been created to collect public comment on the service level review recommendations.

A special environment committee meeting will be held at city hall on April 11 for public delegations, debate and committee recommendation on the staff report. Full city council will deliberate the committee recommendations on April 13.
