Reviewing rural life Development shouldn’t disrupt rural charm: residents JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

TRY ATHLETES A home-village hero paid a visit to Centennial Public to encourage kids to participate in sports.

Dunrobin and Kinburn residents agree their communities should welcome development but only if it doesn’t destroy the area’s rural charm.

Residents also suggested commuter rail service could benefit their communities.

Dunrobin and Kinburn citizens were among 50 people participating in a rural review discussion about the future of their villages at the West Carleton Community Complex April 2.

Residents from Galetta and Fitzroy Harbour also attended.

(See story in the April 7 Review).

A MEN’S THING Men’s night for members of the Carp Fair are sure to buy into Patrick Ledwell’s brand of humour. See why.

Dunrobin residents “really like their village” and welcome newcomers in limited amounts.

Summing up the Dunrobin input at the rural review meeting, city staffer Cheryl Brouillard said they accept

slight higher density as long as it has proper infrastructure.

Increasing traffic congestion could become a concern with new growth, said residents, noting that already there are intersections that are dangerous because of speeding cars.

Making use of the rail corridor (building a Dunrobin train station) and setting up a park and ride could help, they suggested.

They want to control residential sprawl, but don’t want “city overregulation,” Brouillard said.

The problems of a Dunrobin caterer with city regulations was mentioned.

“How can you get a local business going without encouragement,” said one woman.

Dunrobin people value their small businesses, historic buildings (especially the churches) parks and dark skies at night (no light pollution), said Brouillard.

Politicians tour businesses by helicopter Some residents still oppose helicopter business at Carp airport DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The mayor and deputy mayor enjoyed the view of Carp’s industrial lands from a helicopter last Thursday, but the view of another helicopter in the sky wasn’t enjoyed by some residents on the ground.

Mayor Jim Watson and Deputy Mayor Eli El-Chantiry, at the invitation of the Carp Corridor Business Improvement Area (BIA), were impressed to see the available industrial space near the Queensway.

El-Chantiry said the 155,000-square-foot Lee Valley Tools complex is especially impressive because little of it can be seen from the road.

Watson campaigned on a promise to meet regularly with each of the city’s 17 BIAs. He has now passed the responsibility off to El-Chantiry. “I want to see people have less red tape to deal with at city hall,” said El-Chantiry.

One business seeing rapid growth is West Capital Developments at the Carp Airport. It is developing a “fly-in commu-

nity” whereby homes will be located close to privately-owned planes.

It also hosts a helicopter training business, which has earned the ire of residents in the area for allowing low-flying, loud helicopters to practice in the region at various hours – including at night.

Carole Larose and a group of area residents upset over the helicopter training have called on the federal government and local officials to force the Carp Airport to comply with federal regulations.

But to no avail.

“Since when is a rural airport and its citizens subjected to helicopter training for U.S. military arctic flights and a flyin community ‘preserving the true rural nature’ of the countryside?” Larose said in an email.

“The (Carp) airport does not follow Transport Canada federal regulations and there is no monitoring.”

Its mandate is to ensure all parties are satisfied with airport operations. It was to be comprised of members from the residential fly-in community condo association, the commercial condo association, the core airport area, the local community, the City of Ottawa and an industry representative.

Larose said it doesn’t include anyone she represents.

“Am I satisfied? No. “There has not been any public consul-

tation nor if there is such a committee is there a member representing the residents who have complained,” she said.

“How in reality can an ‘advisory’ group have teeth if there hasn’t been a meeting with the residents who have made their voices heard on this issue? Why hasn’t Eli invited any one of us to attend?”

El-Chantiry disagrees with the notion of a toothless advisory committee, saying no one is allowed to fly in the area without following certain rules.

Kinburn needs seniors housing Continued from front They would like more linking trails to improve non-vehicular access to the parks, community centre and the high school.

More housing options and programs at the community centre for seniors were suggested to attract more retirees to Dunrobin.

Some more business outlets, especially a liquor store, should be added to the core.

The Dunrobin group does not like cell towers in their area, is worried about drainage and water quality problems, is worried about speeders and unsafe intersections, and feels the centre of the village could be cleaned up.

They feel more use could be made of the Bill Mason Outdoor Education Centre.

They suggested the village boundary could be expanded east as far as the veterinarian’s or the railway track.

KINBURN Kinburn residents want the village

to retain its tranquil, rural atmosphere, spokesman David Cousens told the rural review meeting Saturday.

Speaking for the group, he said they want to deter large subdivisions, retain farmland and keep and enhance services in the village core.

It would be difficult to encourage growth in Kinburn if the bank follows the school in moving away.

The city should ease restrictions and fees to help encourage new services in the hub, he added.

Prohibitive development fees tend to “scare away business,” said the group.

Weaknesses include poor water quality and a lack of sidewalks in the core.

Kinburn needs new housing options for seniors as now they tend to move away to neighbouring communities after they retire, Cousens said, adding that development of the school for seniors housing is one possibility.

It certainly will never be a school again, they agreed.

If the rail corridor is ever used for a commuter train, it would be a boost to Kinburn, residents agreed.

It doesn’t compare to what is taking place along the Red River in Manitoba, but for the third time in less than a year heavy rain has ooded West Carleton roads, disrupting trafďŹ c patterns and leading area Coun. Eli El-Chantiry to believe it could become a regular occurrence. “Last time they told me it was a once-in-a-100-years storm. Well, now it’s two once-in-a-100-year storms,â€? ElChantiry said. “I’m not buying that.â€?

An overnight rain storm early Monday dropped more than 90 millimetres quickly enough on frozen ground to ďŹ ll culverts and ditches beyond capacity on the crucial artery of Dunrobin Road, along with Torbolton Ridge, Buckham’s Bay, Woodkilton, Tranquility roads and elsewhere in Ward 5.

School buses and many cars drove through the washout unaware of the seriousness.

But there were no injuries reported as a result.

El-Chantiry spent much of the day on the scene, moved by stories such as the Dunrobin woman who staved off ooding in her home thanks to a robust sump pump and a neighbour’s generator.

For the past two day a grey Ford Explorer was seen parked at a side road very close to the complainant’s house.

Acting on his gut instincts the complainant approached the SUV to investigate and managed to record the licence plate number before it took off.

April 3, Harry Mackay Road, McKay’s Waterfront: A suspicious incident was reported to police after a resident witnessed an unfamiliar driver of a gray Toyota 4-Runner stop in front of a private community dumpster to look through the debris.

One complainant reported that the community had recently been having problems with unauthorized people using their designated dumpster.

The resident became suspicious when she engaged the driver in conversation as he passed on the narrow roadway. The driver told the resident that he was new to the neighbourhood and that he was only looking around.

After kindly advising the driver that the roadway was considered private property he promptly turned his vehicle around and drove away. However, a short time later the driver stopped his SUV in front of the dumpster and exited the vehicle.

Based on the vehicle’s licence plate information, the registered owner of the vehicle resides in Arnprior.

Police are following up with the owner to determine the identity of the driver and the actual purpose of the visit.

April 3, Snelgrove Drive, Carp Village: Police stopped and charged an intoxicated 18-year-old male under the Liquor Licence Act after a homeowner called police to report a suspicious incident.

Now that she no longer teaches art, the ideas and visions for new works are streaming in, an accomplished Fitzroy Harbour artist said prior to an upcoming exhibit in Ottawa.

Elisabeth Thomson’s creativity flows as briskly as the river outside the window of her Carp River Studio. The studio itself is crammed with canvasses, some stacked white on white like layers of snow on the tundra, others complete except for a missing sky or cat or nose that isn’t quite right. Still others, mounted, are complete with breathtaking yet balanced complexity, dramatic colours and emotion-filled subject matter.

Springing up the stairs en route, Thomson, always with chalk in hand, stops to add a touch to a harbour front scene of the picturesque town of Peggy’s Cove, N.S. She jokes that buyers can commission her to finish paintings to their liking.

“Most of what I do now is commissioned, though,” she said. “I do a lot of flowers. They have a lot of meaning for people. The one in the living room of poppies, that’s for a woman whose sister died on Remembrance Day.” Her subject matter is as broad and all-encompassing as her colour wheel.

Still, these are not paintings hurriedly cobbled together.

Athlete inspires students to give it a tri World-ranked triathlete teams up with the Diefenbooker Classic to encourage student participation While Huntley Centennial Public School staff and students were just beginning their school day on April 5, Joanna Brown hurried from an early morning, two-hour training session in the pool with the Ravens, Carleton University’s swim team, to arrive back across town at the school for an 8:30 a.m. assembly.

Recognizing the importance of an active lifestyle, and appreciating where sport at an elite level can lead, Brown shared her motivational story with the kindergarten to Grade 8 students.

Only 18 years old, this Carp resident holds the bronze medal from the September 2010 Junior World Triathlon Championships held in Budapest, Hungary.

It was the icing on the cake for the 2010 season that saw her win gold at the Junior Triathlon Championship in May in Ixtapa, Mexico and a second gold medal at the Canadian National Championships in Kelowna, British Columbia in August.

Brown is looking forward to the 2011 triathlon season and the championships in Beijing.

Like every student attending the assembly, Joanna Brown, a former Huntley primary stu-

A Diefenbooker Classic Run pep rally took place at Huntley Centennial Public School in Carp last week. Joanna Brown, middle, with Huntley student leaders Matthew Frost and Dana Davidson. dent, had sat on the same gym floor during assemblies and attended classes in the same rooms.

Only a decade later, she is now a world-ranked triathlete.

Students raised their hands as she asked, if they liked to swim, bike or run.

“You can join my triathlon club,” Brown invited.

The young athlete had a clear message to share about the importance of physical activity and advice about how to have

fun in the process.

Based on her own experience with competitive sport and the rewards it has brought to her life, Brown encouraged students to: try new things, find inspiration, encourage others, be creative, and do your best.

Triathlon has allowed Brown to travel the world, meet new people and test her own limits of physical endurance.

She stated, “You see how hard other people are pushing; it inspires you.”

As a frequent participant in the local Diefenbooker Classic, Brown encouraged students to walk, run or cycle with their friends or family and have fun.

Her favourite part of the 5-km run is blasting through the tunnel at the Diefenbunker.

Huntley Centennial Public school staff, students and their families are strong supporters of the Diefenbooker event.

Putting words about promoting health through physical activity into motion, they walk,

run or cycle at the community event.

Last year, staff member, Michelle Windsor, participated in the 5-km run for the first time.

Chatting at the start line with a student, they shared their personal goals for the race.

The student hoped to finish in 25 minutes and Windsor set her goal at 30 minutes.

In a reversal of roles, the student waited at the finish line so he could cheer on Windsor, and take the time to congratulate her on achieving her goal. A+ for Ms. Windsor in active living and community spirit!

The time is now to dig out your running shoes and pump up the tires on your bikes.

The 15th Annual Diefenbooker Classic is on April 30th. There are events for all fitness levels.

Enjoy running, walking or cycling in the country.

Invite some friends and bring the kids for age appropriate events at the Carp fairgrounds.

Full details of the event can be found on the website diefenbookerclassic.ncf.ca.

Victoria Playhouse on P.E.I. to great acclaim.

Still, it’s the trials and tribulations of eking out a living on the island that keeps him returning to his favourite subject.

“I try to find most of my comedy in experience, in growing up and trying to stay here,” he said. “I find most people respond if you talk about what you know growing up with some space

and what you do with it.”

The men’s night is set for next Thursday, April 21 at the Carp Agricultural Hall.

Cocktails start at 6 p.m. followed by a roast beef dinner. Ledwell hits the stage after that.

Tickets are $20 with this year’s charity of choice being DIFD – Do it for Daron.

They are available at the fair office in Carp or by calling (613) 839-2172.

The question didn’t surprise Patrick Ledwell in the least. What brings a comedian all the way up from Prince Edward Island to a show in Carp?

“I get it all the time. People find it funny to meet anyone from P.E.I.,” said Ledwell, who was born and raised on the island province with a population slightly above that of Kanata and Stittsville combined.

Ledwell will perform his unique brand of self-deprecating humour at the Carp Agricultural Society’s annual men’s night. In a business dominated by cynical or superficial comedians, Ledwell is hailed as a breath of fresh air, a yuk-yuk funny guy who offers “ah-ha” moments to both live audiences and those who catch him on radio.

Many of his bits are about growing up in a big family on a hobby farm outside Charlottetown. It was in the provincial capital two years ago, at a conference showcasing exhibits and talent to

small fairs, that Ledwell was first spotted by a member of the Carp Fair board.

He performed a piece about being in 4-H, something that would surely resonate for people in West Carleton.

Another has him wondering about farmers’ markets and the emphasis many vendors place on the development of their product.

“They tell you what it was fed, what the farm is like, its name,” he said. “I’m not looking for a foster child, I just want to buy a piece of meat.”

Ledwell’s smart, warmhearted comedy has entertained Canadians from coast to coast on CBC’s The Debaters, Laugh Out Loud, and Madly Off In All Directions. He has appeared at the Halifax Comedy Festival, the Island Stand-up Showcase, and the Off-Centre Comedy Festival at the Confederation Centre in Charlottetown.

For the last two summers, Ledwell performed with folk musician Tanya Davis on his variety show The New Potato-Time Review at the

Opinion

Don’t do it, Eli Few in West Carleton don’t know that their longtime city councillor, Eli El-Chantiry, is considering a switch to provincial politics. Some are angered by the revelation, saying he was elected just recently and shouldn’t be contemplating a move to a higher level of politics. Others have already gotten their old ‘re-elect Eli’ signs out and duct-taped over the ‘re’.

We say hold your horses.

El-Chantiry was asked recently what does he fear most about the decision. Is he scared to lose?

Many politicians are not scared to lose. They enter the business as underdogs, having little name recognition, even expecting to lose. The fear of losing is a great motivator.

But El-Chantiry said it wasn’t the fear of losing that he is worried about. It’s the fear of winning, and what that will do to his life. He and wife Maha sold the Lighthouse and are finally spending time together away from work. Is he up for travelling to Queen’s Park on the regular basis? Who knows.

Still, the fact remains that if he decides to run for the Liberal party in the upcoming Oct. 6 Ontario election, the province’s gain will be West Carleton-March’s loss. El-Chantiry has been a fine councillor for the ward. Indeed, many outside the

ward hail him as one of the best on city council: right-leaning on most economic issues, left-leaning on complex issues. Some have even suggested he would make a fine mayor in four years.

We have only the best interests of the local community in mind, which is why we encourage ElChantiry to stay put. West Carleton would not be better off if he left city politics.

However, if El-Chantiry feels obliged to run against Jack MacLaren, the PC candidate with far-right views that likely don’t reflect the opinions of many in his party let alone in the riding, we understand. He may feel few others in Carleton-Mississippi Mills stand a chance of beating MacLaren, who will win many votes simply by virtue of representing the Conservative party. He may feel, since he lives in Kanata and MacLaren in MacLaren’s Landing, that he understands and cares about the needs of both urban and rural constituents.

Still, he shouldn’t feel obliged to take on MacLaren. It isn’t his duty to prevent the province from turning away from the broad centre. He already holds what we consider the most honourable job in politics – a position in municipal politics. Leave “higher” politics to those who toe the party line.

Easy protest is not worth the effort The Internet always buzzes with calls for protest of one sort or another. The latest, which is big on Facebook, is a call for people not to buy gasoline on April 15.

Various figures are quoted as to what this will cost the oil companies, but the overriding idea is that they will be brought to their knees by this show of consumer force and drop prices at the pump.

Even on Facebook there seems to be some awareness of flaws in the plan.

For example, people might buy gas on the 14th, or the 16th. So someone has responded by creating a new group called Don’t Buy Gas on April 15th and 16th.

That should fix it.

Looking at some of the sites where this idea is being discussed, you can see intelligent discussion about what boycotts can and can’t accomplish, as well as some pointed critiques of the boycotters — such as the irony of someone who drives a gas guzzler engaging in a protest against the oil companies.

What you don’t see are any suggestions that people work a little harder to solve what they see as a problem.

“Eighty per cent of success,” Woody Allen once wrote, “is showing up.” Not

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town showing up at a gas pump may not be all that successful.

Whereas showing up, or the reverse, can make an impression on those who matter. The other day in Ottawa only 32 people showed up for a discussion of less frequent garbage pickup, a proposal that was supposed to be wildly controversial.

“I’m being told that everybody opposes this,” said a city councillor, Scott Moffatt. “Where are they?”

Maybe they’re at home planning where not to buy gas on April 15. That’s a protest anyone can handle. No effort is involved and it literally costs nothing.

Governments know that. That’s probably the reason why Earth Hour has never made much of an impact. It shows almost no commitment to turn off your lights for an hour once a year. No sac-

rifice is made. It is not like standing in the rain with a placard or even writing a letter to your member of Parliament.

Millions of people turned out their lights at Earth Hour on March 26 and millions didn’t. Maybe if everyone did, some governments might have noticed, but maybe not. “Sure, they turned out their lights,” someone in government might say, “but will they go to the polls?”

Not everyone will, that’s for sure. The papers these days are full of interviews with young, idealistic people who say they have never voted and don’t intend to this time. Why? It’s hard to know precisely, but many say they don’t like politicians, don’t respect the process, don’t think they can make any difference.

But how else are they going to make a difference? By turning off their lights for one hour once a year? By not buying gas on April 15?

The danger of easy protest is that it can make the protester feel he has done his bit, when in fact he should be doing more. If he is satisfied that he has served humanity by joining a Facebook protest page or not buying gas on April 15, then humanity isn’t going to get much more out of him.

There is something to be said for

making some things easy. In Ottawa, the Blue Box program is a great success primarily because it’s an easy thing to do. If recycling was difficult, fewer of us would be doing it.

But attaching too much virtue to simple actions puts off the difficult ones.

The Ontario government worked like crazy to get people to use different light bulbs. Nothing wrong with that, unless it allows us to think that, without making any sacrifice at all, we have now done our thing for the environment.

Making significant change is hard work, every day.

9 April 14 2011 - WEST CARLETON REVIEW

Genetically modified crops – a Monsanto legacy To the editor: Thank you Lorne Hepworth for your informative letter (West Carleton Review, March 17) on the safety and significant health benefits of genetically modified foods.

I, for one, now have complete confidence in including these foods in my diet, especially since I know that we have the government ensuring our safety. Of course, it was Health Canada who ensured the safety of Thalidomide to women in the 1940s and we know how well they were protected.

Perhaps we should explore a little deeper into what genetically modified crops are. Take corn for instance. Over 90% of all corn grown in Canada and the United States is now genetically modified.

So what does this actually mean? Corn that has been genetically modified has been implanted with the DNA from the chemical herbicide known as Round-up.

The purpose is to make corn seed ‘Roundup Ready’. Who has the patent on Round-up? Well, you guessed it, Monsanto.

Why did Monsanto put the DNA of Round-up in corn?

So farmers can do massive spraying with Round-up on their fields of corn and because Round-up is in now part of the corn’s DNA, only the weeds die (however, not all weeds, because the excessive use of Round-up has now resulted in “superweeds” or weeds that are round-up resistant).

Of course, those of us who eat the corn (and by the way that means most of the corn we buy every summer at vegetable stands) are now ensured that we are getting a good double dose of Round-up in the corn we eat.

This is the same herbicide that is banned in various countries in the world and banned or restricted in many cities across Canada for cosmetic purposes because it is a known carcinogen.

It is classed by the European Union as dangerous for the environment and is known to be toxic to wildlife and aquatic organisms.

Yet, Health Canada tells us it’s safe for consumption. You decide. Who profits?

Monsanto!

Not only do they own the patent on

Round-up, but they also have the patent on the genetically modified corn seed.

Another interesting fact about genetically modified seed is that it must be bought from Monsanto every year.

No saving any of the crop for seed. It’s illegal and in most cases the seed will not propagate.

However, in some instances, it has now been found that the seed does propagate.

Blown by the wind, it can land in organic fields and contaminate organic produce, and if the farmer complains, Monsanto sues for hundreds of thousands of dollars for illegal use of their seed.

That is the true story of GMO Corn.

The other major GMO crops are Soy and Cotton. Alfalfa has recently been approved in the U.S. and will likely be approved soon in Canada.

Again, the intent of genetic modification is to make the seeds “Round-up Ready” to enable massive spraying of Round-up.

So what is the benefit of Round-up Ready crops. Well, Monsanto certainly benefits. Not only do they benefit from the increased sales of Round-up but they also have exclusive patent on the seeds so farmers must purchase seed every year from Monsanto.

Farmers benefit because they don’t have to worry about killing their crops when they apply Round-up to their fields, and since they don’t have to worry about the crop, they can apply excessive amounts of the herbicide. There is nothing in these GMO seeds that are intended to improve our health, only the health of Monsanto’s bottom line.

How does eating Round-up ready corn and soy affect us? Perhaps it’s time you found out. Before you bite into that cob of corn next summer, think about how it’s been grown. Seek out organic farmers and local farmers who use traditional seed.

I could write volumes about Monsanto but I will leave the rest up to you. It is time to educate ourselves on GMO foods before Monsanto has taken complete control of our food crops, and trust me that is their aim.

Mix ‘em up into a coalition To the editor: I fail to see what is wrong with a coalition. In fact, I would love to see our government run as a total coalition.

I think it could cure the issue that embarrasses us all – the idiotic behaviour during Question Period.

Visualize this. Rather than isolating members of Parliament by having them sit with their own parties . . . mix them up – helter skelter – with Conservatives, Liberals, NDP and the Bloc sitting beside each other.

And rather than picking a cabinet from the party with the most elected members, pick the best people from the whole gang

– including the Bloc – they are people too.

It would be a lovely change to see them all working together, debating issues from their point of view, finding ways to balance the budget and yet be imaginative and progressive.

Just imagine how much work could get done and how much pride and respect we would all feel with such a government.

A coalition? Bring it on.

WM are undertaking an EA seeking approval for a new landfill footprint at the existing Ottawa Waste Management Facility (Ottawa WMF). The new landfill footprint will be one component of the proposed WCEC. The proposed WCEC will be an integrated waste management facility that will include: • A new landfill footprint for disposal of residual waste materials; • Waste diversion and recycling operations; • Composting Operations;

Fern Martin Pakenham

• Renewable energy facilities; ; and, • Recreational lands for community uses.

Letters to the editor

O’Connor’s praise of Rumsfeld disturbing To the editor: Most Canadians find torture repulsive and wrong, including the idea that official representatives of Canada might be complicit in torture. Of course torture is also against international law.

“Torture” as a subject might not seem very relevant to how we make personal choices in the current election – but, perhaps surprisingly, it is indeed relevant.

Why relevant? For two reasons. First, because the party of our sitting MP Gordon O’Connor has gone to great lengths to evade any public accountability of Canada’s practice of transferring battlefield detainees in Afghanistan to the hands of Afghan officials where they face the welldocumented risk of torture.

Second, O’Connor as Minister of Defence heaped praise on his then counterpart, U.S. Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld, well-known as one of the main authors and apologists for the use of torture by the U.S. military in the infamous Abu Ghraib prison and other U.S. detention facilities.

O’Connor’s constituents should ask their MP what he thinks of Rumsfeld’s support for torture (does he hold similar views?) – and why his party has blocked an honest public discussion of torture in Afghanistan.

O’Connor’s voiced his fawning praise in a 2006 letter to Rumsfeld, when Rumsfeld had effectively been fired by President Bush. He said he wanted to “congratulate you on your many achievements.”

O’Connor has since tried to claim that his praise referred to specific events that, in fact, are never even mentioned in his letter. He then said that the tone of the letter is normal under these circumstances, yet others in the U.S. and Canada have called the tone uniquely grovelling and servile.

But what should we make of our sitting MP’s praise for Rumsfeld’s “many achievements” – remembering that Rumsfeld’s own Republican fellows declared him a disaster. John McCain called him the worst defence secretary in U.S. history, Bill Clinton has said Rumsfeld made historic blunders by leading the U.S. into Iraq, and even Henry Kissinger saw him as scheming and driven purely by ambition.

O’Connor’s praise becomes far more serious, however, when we recall that Rumsfeld was a key proponent of the use of torture and the strictly illegal capturing and holding of detainees in the U.S. ‘war on terror’.

On this, O’Connor writes to Rumsfeld: “The campaign against terror has shown itself to be a challenging undertaking ...

Here we have been privileged to benefit from your leadership in addressing the complex issues at play.”

It was Rumsfeld’s “leadership” that okayed the torture of detainees in U.S. detention facilities – in fact Rumsfeld was even known to laugh off torture practices.

It was Rumsfeld “leadership” that troops at Abu Ghraib and other U.S. detention

centres took as a license to grossly torment detainees.

It was Rumsfeld who led the U.S. covert detention of men and women without charge or trial, in defiance of the Geneva Conventions.

It was also Rumsfeld who, in secret memos, urged U.S. officials to “keep elevating (that is: exaggerate, make more frightening than it is) the threat. Make the American people realise they are surrounded in the world by violent extremists.”

It was O’Connor’s Rumsfeld who, with a consciously cynical, manipulative and contemptuous view of the public, urged his department to both exaggerate the danger and “rally” people around the

word “sacrifice.”

Given this, we should be asking our election candidates where they stand on international human rights law. Do they condone torture under certain circumstances – or not? Do they condone the indefinite detention of prisoners without charge or trial – or not?

Do they condone the transfer of prisoners to government agents where such prisoners are at risk of torture – or not?

Given his glowing praise of a man responsible for torture, and given the transfer of prisoners into the hands of known torturers during his watch as Minister of Defence, these questions should be asked above all of Gordon O’Connor.

Respect, protect coyotes To the editor: Due to increased loss of habitat, people are more aware of the existence of coyotes. Yet the incidence of serious conflict between coyotes and humans is minimal.

It is not coyotes encroaching on human population, it is the other way around.

The aim of the coyote hunting contest is to “cull” the coyote population in an effort to minimize this problem. This problem is more one of perception than of reality.

I have lived in rural Ottawa for most of my life and have yet to have a problem

with a coyote. I have seen them on rare occasions, they go about their business and I go about mine.

And to the issue of livestock predation, statistics show that incidents are down.

There are non-lethal methods of predator control that have been extremely effective.

In the 21st century, we must protect biodiversity. We are all richer when the abundance of nature is respected and protected.

Coyote issue needs common sense

To the editor: The coyote killing contests are all about the campaign being waged by agriculture to obtain increased compensation. It is after all an election year.

Never mind that compensation claims are down by 25 per cent in Ottawa in 2010.

Never mind that livestock losses due to coyote predation represent only one per cent of the numbers of sheep and 0.08 per cent of the numbers of cattle produced in Ontario.

Pretty insignificant when you consider that small businesses, which are as economically challenged as farmers, experience up to three per cent annually in lost profits due to theft and get absolutely no compensation from government.

I am not sure what suburban commu-

nity MPP Lisa MacLeod is referring to when she states that “we’ve had near-crisis levels of coyotes,” but I don’t know of any crisis that has made the papers in this area. As for the view of rural residents, a meeting hosted by Ms. MacLeod in Osgoode last year had the majority of speakers saying they were much more afraid of coyote hunters than coyotes.

This seems to be the continuing view this year judging from letters from rural residents and editorials in newspapers across Ontario. We need less politicallymotivated and irrational fear-mongering and more of the common sense that other major cities across North America have adopted in living with coyotes.

Re: Icing off the cake, West Carleton Review, March 31.

Shame on the City of Ottawa.

I am outraged at what happened to Tanja Blondin, owner of Abaco Cakes and Catering, and appalled by the purported actions of city bureaucrats.

Has the city totally lost sight of the fact, in all its rules and regulations and bylaws and code books, city employees are working for us, the people of the City of Ottawa who pay their salaries?

Why are they not encouraging small and medium businesses to open and run viable commercial enterprises with the least amount of interference?

Why are they not providing sound advice and guidance and helping entrepreneurs - who are taking all the risks - to grow and flourish?

Why are they not going out of their way to ensure that small businesses succeed?

Especially in these recent economic times, and especially in West Carleton, where such businesses are modest in number but a much welcomed addition to the landscape.

The fact that the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing appears to be a big part of the incompetent and grievous actions by the city.

Much worse are the far-reaching consequences of the contradictory advice, erroneous information and misleading communications.

It is extremely doubtful that Tanya would have opened her storefront had she known about the code-driven renovations a year ago, as the costs would have been prohibitive.

And surely she would not have entered into a three-year lease under those circumstances!

Where is the justice in this code book bible-thumping?

If the fire inspector did indeed approve a much less expensive range hood, surely he and the building inspector could have worked something out to their satisfaction and Tanja’s?

Was there some sort of power struggle or empire building going on here at Tanya’s expense?

What precisely was the motive to close her down?

What exactly is the city’s mandate with respect to small business ventures?

Surely a compromise or a stay of execution for installing a costly commercial range hood could have been effected until such time as her lease was up on the property?

Why was she forced to close her doors?

In the interest of doing the right thing, surely any costs that Tanja incurred as a result of erroneous

and/or misleading information from the city should be refunded by the city.

Were her permit costs refunded?

Were her start-up costs refunded?

In fact, should not the city rightfully pay the rent that is still owing to the landlord until the end of the lease?

Perhaps the building inspector should chip in his share, since he is probably sleeping far too well at night.

Under the circumstances, should the city – and not Tanya – not be tasked with finding another tenant to sub-let the

I’ve hunted all my life - from mountain sheep in British Columbia, to groundhogs on the Prairies, to Caribou in northern Quebec. Registering my weapons has

had no impact on any of that.

So why not register guns? When police respond to a problem, they want to know what’s waiting for them inside. Factories are required to tell the fire department about the chemicals they have on site -- so firefighters know what their up against if there’s a fire.

Don’t police deserve the same pro-

tection? The country’s chiefs of police think so. It’s just Harper who thinks otherwise. From Montreal to Arizona, we pay the price for angry people let loose with guns.

No, the gun registry won’t stop all that senseless murder, but it’s a big help. Just look at the statistics between Canada and the U.S.A. on deaths by guns.

Harper must be stopped before he raises the flag on the 51st state.

To my fellow gun owners, register your weapons and vote with all your values.

This country faces bigger issues than whether you and I have to fill out a few forms.

While the majority of “our” birds are still slowly winging their way back from southern hiatuses, some hardier species have already started building nests. Over the past couple of weeks I have watched American Crows carrying sticks to lofty sites in pines.

As mentioned in last week’s column, the fierce competition for cavities in trees (and nest boxes) has also begun.

Some Eastern Bluebirds, which are cavity–adopting birds, have already laid their eggs in nests lined with soft grasses.

Tree Swallows, which only recently returned, are competing for those same sites. Swallow nests, however, are lined with soft white feathers, making them readily distinguishable from those made by bluebirds.

While bluebirds and swallows are celebrated for their beauty, European Starlings, also cavity-adopting birds, receive little fanfare. Yet, upon close inspection they too can be seen to pos-

What’s cute, half a pound and raises funds for a good cause?

Complete with a little marshmallow tail. Penny’s Fudge Factory’s fudge bunnies are available once again.

It’s the sixth year for the fundraiser at the Fitzroy Harbour business and the campaign’s gaining steam each year, says owner Judy Gravel, who donates $2 from each bunny sold to the Canadian Cancer Society.

“This is one of our best fundraisers,” said Gravel on Saturday, the first day of the season at the fudge factory.

Opening weekend was a “great start,” said Gravel, with 69 bunnies sold in four Photo by Sherry Haaima hours.

Penny’s Fudge Factory owner Judy Gravel and new emThe maple and chocolate flavoured bunnies sell for ployee Nicole Badham display the fudge bunnies. The Canadian Cancer Society gets $2 for every bunny sold. $10.

Last year the fudge factory sold 440 bunnies and Gravel has high hopes - aiming to double that number this year.

Where have all our good books gone?

MICHELLE NASH michelle.nash@metroland.com

The recent release of an iPhone application now offers instant knowledge of books at your local Ottawa Public Library.

Technology has taken libraries by storm and speaking to a Rockcliffe Park crowd, the head of the Ottawa Public Library spoke about the future of books and that eBooks are indeed here to stay.

At the Rockcliffe Park speakers program on Feb. 23, Barbara Clubb spoke to the full house about the future of libraries and explained the structure of eBooks and audiobooks which are now widely offered in the library database.

Clubb, a 10 year veteran with the Ottawa Public Library said the library is prepared for the changes.

“I believe if people are reading eB-

ooks we will find a way to provide for them,” Clubb said.

The new mobile library catalogue app for iPhone lets people interact with the library where ever they are.

It offers users the ability to see if a book is checked in, which library they can retrieve it with built in GPS, they can renew a book and they can manage their accounts.

The Toronto based company; BiblioCommons developed the app with funding from the Edmonton Public Library.

The Ottawa Public Library jumped on board to offer their patrons the new mobile extension to their services.

“It is a great way to interact with the library,” Jennifer Stirling, manager of digital services said.

Prepared for digital interest, the library has appointed staff like Stirling for digital services to handle the re-

quests and calls for eBooks.

New books are added weekly to the online catalogue.

The library has had eBooks since 2008, but the library digital service has noticed a large influx of calls, tweets and emails about the new eBooks offered.

They believe it is because of the mass amount of eBook readers given as gifts this year for Christmas.

“It seems like everyone ended up with an eReader and we are trying hard to give them the technical and digital support they need,” Clubb said.

A service which offers users the freedom of no library fines has a definite appeal with users added Clubb.

Stirling brought five eReaders; IPad, Kindle, Sony eReader, Kobo and the Aluratech eBook reader to the event for interested individuals to look at.

Ross Murray came to the Speakers Program because as a self-professed techie, he wanted to see how the library is planning on integrating the eBooks into their catalogue.

He was happy with the news of how many books will be offered and how quickly new books will be added but still finds fault with the eReaders and the current, bumpy system the library offers for taking out eBooks.

“We hope to make the service as easy to use as something like Amazon,” Clubb said, admitting that at the moment the service could be more functional.

Compatibility and preference are two main issues the library is currently tackling.

The Kindle does not work with anything but Amazon, where as the other four eReaders work with certain eBooks offered at the library.

“With books, you can just stick them all on a shelf, but with eBooks, they all may not be compatible with the eReaders,” Clubb explained.

Carleton-Mississippi Mills was created in 1987 from parts of Lanark–Renfrew–Carleton and Nepean–Carleton. The suburban and rural area includes southwestern suburbs of Ottawa and the town of Mississippi Mills in Lanark County. While the riding has elected Liberal candi-

dates and a Canadian Alliance member in the past, the area has predominantly been represented by a Tory. Conservative MP Gordon O’Connor was elected in 2004 and is facing opposition from Liberal candidate Karen McCrimmon, NDP representative Erin Peters and Green candidate John Hogg.

Strong communities and increased public transportation Name: John Hogg Party: Green John Hogg, a Kanata based high-tech worker, is running as the Green Party candidate in Carleton-Mississippi Mills.

Hogg has lived in the riding for 21 years with his family, holding bachelor and masters degrees from the University of Toronto in computer science.

Like many in Kanata, he was attracted to high-tech and he put his skills to use, working in several different roles at different companies.

He saw the broad range in the sector, and increasingly saw how green initiatives could be applied.

Now, he works at Intertek, where he helps companies follow environmental regulations.

“Somebody has to be a voice – if not me, then who?” said Hogg.

He first got into politics in the 2007 provincial election, after he didn’t see the best representation for him in other parties, and liking the Green Party’s long term plans.

“It’s not just two years, four years, but 10, 20 years,” he said. “The Green Party sees the future.”

He also appreciates that the Green Party is different than other parties in the entire approach to politics.

Instead of looking at large issues, they rally for issues that are smaller and decentralized, and encourage parties to work together.

He used the example of biofuel – instead of focus on increased production; there should be a focus on using less.

And they should be looking at ways to mix more environmentally friendly power sources – such as wind farms and solar power – in with more traditional and reliable forms.

He said the greatest misconception about the Green Party is the inability to govern. The Green Party has Vision Green, a full campaign platform including budget and a strategy to decrease the deficit.

“For voters that want something different, I’m the choice,” he said.

Hogg’s main campaign points are green technology support and development, increase rural access to Internet

to improve services, better health care plans and pensions.

For the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding, Hogg wants to see a strengthened community with increased public transportation, and better pension and longterm disability benefits.

He wants to rework pensions so residents, whose futures may have been hurt financially by Nortel, wouldn’t have to worry.

Hogg is lucky and can usually walk to his office, but sees a struggle in Ottawa’s public transportation.

“When we cut costs for public transportation, we don’t save money – people take cars,” he said.

Another campaign point has become the purchase of F-35 jets for the Canadian military, at an estimated cost of $30 billion.

Hogg has publically criticized the fighters purchase to replace CF-18 jets, which he said have lots of life left in them.

He sees the money better invested elsewhere; preferably diplomacy and development to avoid military solutions altogether.

McCrimmon seeks balance between people and money Name: Karen McCrimmon Party: Liberal After following her calling for 31 years, Karen McCrimmon has found another as Liberal party candidate in Carleton-Mississippi Mills.

“I’m supposed to do this,” she said of her run for Parliament.

Following her retirement from the Canadian Armed Forces in 2006, she went back to school to study mediation and negotiation, and worked in that field.

McCrimmon said she’s running for the Liberals because it’s the party that balances the needs of people with the needs of the economy. Remove the Conservatives’ continued tax breaks for big business and you’ll have the money to invest in people.

“The Liberal party tries to look after people at the same time as looking after our finances,” McCrimmon said. “I’m a very pragmatic person.

“People are not happy we’re borrowing $10 billion to hand over to big com-

panies.”

McCrimmon also comes across as confident and committed. She doesn’t need notes during an interview, and speaks freely on any subjcet that comes up, like someone ready to move on to the next step.

“I think my vision of Canada is very different from Mr. Harper’s or Mr. O’Connor’s,” she said, adding this country has always been “big-hearted and generous, even-handed, open-minded … with room for everybody. That’s not what I’m seeing portrayed in our government today, and it’s playing out the same way in our community.”

Carleton-Mississippi Mills includes suburban Ottawa neighbourhoods, rural areas and small towns.

Travel a few kilometres and the issues change quite suddenly. McCrimmon, who lives in Constance Bay, said she’s familiar with voters’ concerns, and has been knocking on doors, introducing herself to residents since November.

“We’ve lost 29,000 good paying hightech jobs since 2007 in this riding at the same time as we’re losing farms,” McCrimmon, 53, said.

“That’s crazy.”

She said the Liberal party wants to support farmers and keep them on their farms, and used local supermarkets as an example where improvements can be made Voters across the rural-urban divide have things in common, she added.

“The need for employment and economic development applies to the rural and urban parts of the riding,” she said, adding that investment in high-speed Internet in every corner of the riding would allow people to run a business from home without having to move to the city.

With her air force background, it’s not surprising that McCrimmon has an opinion on the federal government’s proposal to buy new F-35 stealth fighters; planes that have a price tag between $75 million and $150 million, depending on whose information is correct.

“The government hasn’t proved the F35 is the right plane for the job,” McCrimmon said.

“We need to do a better analysis and follow the process,” she said.

“We have 14 months to decide but we’re rushing into this.”

O’Connor defends job cuts, military spending Name: Gordon O’Connor Party: Conservative It was a safe riding for conservatives even before Gordon O’Connor won his first election seven years ago, but the question this time round is whether or not voters agree with his party’s plans for the local level and beyond.

Liberals say the Conservatives have to make up $11 billion to meet campaign promises, and point to Ottawa job cuts as a likely target. O’Connor said with 17,000 civil servants set to retire in the next few years, money will be saved by not replacing them.

“We don’t have any plans to layoff public sector workers,” he said. “We won’t do like the Liberals did under Chretien in the 1990s and fire thousands of people.”

Conservatives contend they won’t cure the deficit by downloading to other levels of government, as the Liberals did 15 years ago. Their plan is to bring the $54-billion deficit, by far the largest in Canadian history, down to zero by 2015, through an end to stimulus funding,

tightening tax loop holes, growing the economy at three per cent each year, and cutting programs.

There is a role for government to play, he said, which was proven when Canada’s highly regulated banking system escaped the meltdown felt in the U.S. It’s that centrist view of economics, for instance calculated stimulus spending along with $11 billion in research and development, that separates his party from the socialists on the left and libertarians on the far right.

“We take a moderate position on the economy; no more tax and government than in necessary,” he said.

Asked if moving into the political centre, traditionally Liberal land, is a way for Harper to lure voters away from his arch enemy, thereby destroying the Liberal brand in Canadian politics, O’Connor was hesitant.

“Look, we’re filling the middle ground and right. We don’t try to create big government programs, no big bureaucratic system for things like childcare,” he said.

“We send a cheque to every house.”

The Carleton-Mississippi Mills Conservative incumbent has held a variety of cabinet posts, namely minister of Na-

tional Defence, then minister of National Revenue, and currently minister of state (along with chief government whip).

Controversy accompanied some of those moves, such as O’Connor leaving his job as defence industry lobbyist to become minister of National Defence.

The appointment seemed to contradict the Conservatives’ Accountability Act. The act, though, was designed to prevent politicians becoming lobbyists, not the other way around.

O’Connor faces another former member of the military in the current election, which puts much of the focus of military spending on their shoulders.

The big one is proposed spending on 65 new joint strike fighters to replace the F18 jets. Party faithful say spending on the military is sorely needed after the Liberals did little in the 1990s.

O’Connor insists it’s the best deal out there, while Liberal candidate Karen McCrimmon insists an open procurement process is needed to ensure “risk management” is met. Critics add that the planes haven’t been cold weather tested and can’t be refueled from the air. Others say the technology will be replaced by unmanned drones in future.

VALLEY WIDE REAL ESTATE Brokerage

www.coldwellbankervalleywide.ca Dunrobin president encourages participation in clean-up day SPRING OPEN HOUSE EVENT DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Greg Patacairk is keeping busy after taking over the reins of the Dunrobin Community Association (DCA) from past president Margo Menna.

He is promoting the annual clean-up day, set for this Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon, with a barbecue to follow. But he worries that it might interfere with scheduled ball hockey play at the Dunrobin Community Centre.

Too much to do in Dunrobin is a good problem to have, Patacairk said.

“I was pretty impressed with the turnout for the clean-up last year, about 30 people,” he said. “But with so much going on, I just hope we get the help we need.”

Another ball in the air is Canada Day, when everyone in West Carleton is encouraged to meet at Dunrobin to celebrate the nation’s birthday. Some activities for this year will include a return of WAG – the not-for-profit dog agility training group will be back by popular demand.

Youth bands will be added to the line-up to better represent the community. That, combined with many bouncy houses, a very popular magic show and a bigger fireworks display should end up making it one of the best yet, Patacairk said.

“It should be bigger and better than last

year,” he said.

Patacairk didn’t take over the presidency because he can’t refuse Menna, he joked; the hockey and soccer coach did it for his kids.

“My kids are 11 and 13 now and we needed somebody at the top putting things together for them,” he said. “I’m community-minded, so why not? I think we should all help manage them through the stupid years.”

Ball hockey, ping pong, air hockey, darts, movie and more take place at the community centre.

Hotdogs, pizza, drinks and treats available for sale on Fridays from 6 to 9 p.m. (It is for 10-16-yearolds. Any child under 10 years old is not permitted.)

There are still places in both classes 6 and 7:10 p.m. Drop-ins welcome for a fee of $8 but you must reserve a spot.

Zumba sessions start in September.

BALL HOCKEY The community has three teams for ball hockey – shinny on Saturdays that rotate playing in Kinburn, but there will always be a team of 8–12-year-olds playing shinny in Dunrobin. Drop-ins are welcome for a $2 fee.

At least one of our cats has had kittens. Her previously bulbous belly now looks like a deflated balloon, and she keeps coming up to the house for more treats more treats more treats. I wish someone would open a clinic where they allow you to bring your barn cats to get fixed. And I wish that researcher would hurry up and create that cat contraceptive she’s been writing about.

I need it. I know you would have a comment or two about my problem but you can just keep that opinion to yourself, thanks.:) Most of the lambs are in the barn now, with swelling udders (do sheep have udders?) and really bad haircuts. Actually the Farmer did a fantastic job with his brand-new shears but the sheep just look odd to me with no wool. They look naked and foolish. Lambs will be born by the end of the month. Then the excitement begins. I hope we have planned the season well and taken all necessary precautions so that the lambing will be successful and the ewes will have plenty of milk and maternal instincts to care for their young. And if they don’t, I’ll be there with a baby bottle in the middle of the night to feed the forgotten.

The snow is all gone and the tulips are coming up. I sent away for a Rose of Sharon and I’m more than a little excited

The Kanata Seniors Council is sponsoring a federal all-candidates forum Wednesday, April 20.

The public is welcome to attend at the Royalton Retirement Residence, 3501 Campeau Dr. from 2 to 4 p.m.

“The council has done this in the past,” said Kanata Seniors Council president Ed Gurgurewicz.

“The Royalton Retirement Residence has wonderful facilities and has made special arrangements to allow for generous parking. We are extremely grateful to them for agreeing to partner with us in staging the forum.”

Gurgurewicz emphasized that the question-and-answer format that has

been developed for the event, “will be a pretty tight one so we can get the candidates’ views on as many issues as possible.

“I regret the fact that in terms of representation we only have three of the four candidates who are in the race to represent the riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills. Unfortunately the NDP candidate, when contacted, had prior commitments and regretted that she was unable to attend,” explained Gurgurewicz.

The forum is open to the public and the Kanata Seniors’ Council encourages all those interested to “come, and come early to ensure easy parking and good seats,” he advised.

Seminars to benefit homeschoolers The Rideau Valley Home Educators’ Association is presenting its 21st annual Home Educators’ Conference Saturday, April 16.

With a few clicks of a mouse, you can be your own weatherman.

Environment Canada beams data from Franktown’s weather station around the world on its website. The data from the past three hours can be viewed on a map, with bands of snow and rain in motion across eastern Ontario.

The moving maps allow anyone in the area to figure out when precipitation is likely to arrive and depart their neck of the woods.

While the Weather Network may be able to tell you the Ottawa area has a 40 per cent chance of rain this evening, the Franktown data may indicate the rain will pass your local ball diamond before the scheduled 6 p.m. start of your softball game, or well after your planned evening stroll.

Brian Wilhelm, a technical services supervisor with Environment Canada, said the Doppler radar system and its 18-metre mast were installed near Franktown and went online in 2000. The unmanned and automated equipment in Franktown reports to the Canadian Meteorological Centre in Dorval, Quebec, before making its way onto the Internet.

“Doppler radar was installed in the late 1990s as an upgrade across much of the (national) system,” Wilhelm said.

Echoes from the electromagnetic pulses sent out by the weather station are received by a dish on site. The data indicates if precipitation is moving away from or towards the station, and how fast.

In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the Franktown radar will have acquired thousands of bits of data, sending out a pulse every 0.8 milliseconds.

Wilhelm said Franktown was chosen for the station when an older site in Carp was due for an upgrade.

“We needed to realign the network,” he said.

Franktown was considered a better location than Carp because it can provide radar coverage further to the south, including communities along the St. Lawrence River.

Today, the dish that collects reflected pulses sits in a brilliant white dome on Gillies Corners Sideroad.

The white dome near Franktown – between Carleton Place and Perth Wilhelm said Environment Canada developed the Doppler net- – protects a dish that receives reflected radar pulses sent out by a mast.

The data collected at the Environment Canada station is as close as your work using off-the-shelf electronics, and the information gathered computer, and can be viewed on a map and put in motion. is a key part of your daily weather forecast.

This screen capture, taken from Environment Canada’s webpage for Franktown weather radar, shows a patch of moderate precipitation in shades of grey. The website is publicly accessible and provides a weather snapshot every 10 minutes.

If you Google “Franktown radar,” the first link found will take you to the current Franktown radar image.

Alternately, you can visit www. weatheroffice.gc.ca and click “Ottawa” on the map, and then click the link for “Radar and satellite.”

The first image that loads is static, but can be put in motion by clicking the “Play” button above the map.

If your connection is slow, you will have to wait for the images to load, but once all have been received by your computer, they will play at a reasonable speed.

To make use of the full capabilities of the website, click the link to “Customize your map.” First, click the box for the three-hour cycle of animation,

which allows you to see more images.

Other check boxes add more detail to the map, which may make it easier to identify your location.

Back on the map, click play and the sequence of maps will load and start playing in a cycle. The scale at right will indicate the severity of the precipitation.

The time each image was captured is shown along the top edge of the map. By checking the time of each image, you can get an idea of how long it will be before a band of precipitation arrives at your location, and how long it might last.

For the full amateur weatherman effect, be sure to share your observations with family, friends or anyone

Tougher boat test standards in effect Effective April 15, all Canadian boaters will face new, stricter boating exam standards as a result of Transport Canada’s move to standardized testing.

The new learning-focused approach aims to increase safety on all waterways by setting a higher standard for people to ob-

tain their Pleasure Craft Operator Card, commonly known as a boating license.

Under the new regulations, both online and in-person exams will be increased from 36 to 50 standardized questions.

Those who already have passed will not be affected by the new exam standards, which include all tests taken before midnight on April 15.

While operators of any motorized water vessel are required by law to have a PCOC, it is estimated that out of the four to six million power boat operators in Canada, up to three million boaters have yet to obtain a license.

Failure to present a PCOC while operating a boat can result in a $250 fine.
