Through the fire Station, village celebrates firefighter’s 50 years of service; day job was carpenter at Rideau Hall DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Anton Reitsma was in his late teens when the hotel burned to the ground behind St. Michael’s school in Fitzroy Harbour. He, along with many people in the village, watched from the roadside as volunteer firefighters dashed back and forth in a kind of controlled chaos. It was sad to watch the threestorey structure succumb to flames, he said. But it was also impressive to see how hard the firefighters worked to save it, and the teamwork they displayed. He decided there and then to join the fire department.

Now, 50 years later, this Saturday, June 11 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., a party will be thrown in his honour at Fire Station 62.

“It’s been good, I’ve enjoyed it,” Reitsma said Tuesday, sitting in a swivel

chair in the empty station’s front office. “It was sad to see the old building burned. They tried hard, but sometimes nothing can be done.”

The scanner behind him crackles and hisses out a few words while Reitsma, a fit and affable 70 year old, stops talking and perks up to listen. A few more hisses and the swivel chair is still again. A false alarm. Within an hour, at the scene of a junk fire, Captain Stu Penny would chime in that Reitsma never misses a call.

“He goes to every call. He’s always at the end of my driveway waiting,” Penny said. “A great guy and a great neighbour. You couldn’t get a better neighbour.”

Reitsma has been on scene at many of the most dramatic and tragic fires Anton Reitsma has helped people at the worst moments of their lives, in car accidents and house fires. But he has also helped others during the best moments of theirs, while working as a and car accidents in the region. handyman in the governor general’s residence. His advice? Treat everyone the same.

City loses battle to reign in sprawl Council’s next challenge: decide what areas will be included in the urban boundary An Ontario Municipal Board decision to expand the urban boundary has left some wondering which rural areas will be added to the city’s urban limits.

The city fought a losing battle at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) to defend its decision to limit the expansion of the city’s urban boundary to 230 hectares over the next 15 years. Instead, the boundary will increase by 850 hectares over the next 20 years – a figure that city staff had originally recommended and city council rejected in June of 2009.

The 15-year timeframe was aimed at promoting intensified development in the city’s urban core, and council said the boundary could be expanded after that as needed.

Essentially, city council’s decision recognized that more sprawl would be necessary eventually – but that decision could be put off in the short term as the city focuses on building up the lands already available for development.

A group of about 20 developers promptly appealed that decision to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).

Some of those developers want to see the boundary expanded by between 2,500 and 3,000 hectares – a far cry

from the 230 the city approved, or even the 850 hectares the OMB decided to support.

The urban boundary restricts where development can occur and where city services, such as water and sewer, are offered.

The OMB’s written decision calls the city’s move “clever,” but added that it does not follow the province’s policy statement on how growth should be projected.

For one thing, the city’s other policies include that same 20-year timeline, the OMB decision states. The city also ran into some trouble when it included a 15year timeline for residential growth.

Intensification can’t trump growth: OMB ruling Continued from front But a 2031 horizon for employment growth, an inconsistency that was criticized by the OMB. “The change in the planning horizon at the time of adoption … to avoid the numbers generated is not good planning and reflects negatively on the earlier public process,” the OMB decision states.

The board’s decision also means the city will have to change its approach to intensification targets within city limits, saying that targets can’t be used as a case to prevent expansion to the urban boundary.

The city’s policies promote intensification as a more sustainable type of development that makes use of the city’s current infrastructure such as water and sewer services, without having to build expensive new infrastructure on the city’s suburban fringes.

In January, city lawyer Tim Marc pegged Ottawa’s chances of winning at the OMB around 70 per cent.

At that time, Mayor Jim Watson said he thought the OMB battle was worthwhile because it would confirm that elected officials makes the final decisions on growth and planning, but instead the OMB’s decision reinforces that the city’s planning staff and the board itself have the final say.

Now that the OMB ruling has given renewed weight to city staff ’s original recommendation on the boundary ex-

(70 hectares of developable land) • West of Stittsville and north of Hazeldean Road (39 hectares of developable land) • 163 hectares within Fernbank Estates • South of Stittsville (hectares of developable land) • South of Barrhaven and east of Highway 416 (102 hectares of developable land) • South of Leitrim (170 hectares of developable land) • Southeast of Leitrim, east of Bank Street (103 hectares of developable land) Council will have to reconsider which lands will be absorbed into the urban boundary and will eventually have to vote on a new official amendment that aligns the boundary expansion with what was decided by the OMB. Qadri said there were no additional lands in his ward slated to be included in the urban boundary beyond what city council already approved with the 230-hectare expansion.

For that reason, Qadri supported the original 230-hecatre expansion, but other suburban councillors, Wilkinson, wanted to see the boundary pushed out by 850 hectares.

“The staff recommendation made a lot of sense because it had enough land so that you could actually meet our objectives, which is exactly what the OMB ruled,” Wilkinson said. “At the same time … it wasn’t a major expansion of the urban boundary.”

The benefit of increasing the boundary expansion is that it can help keep land and housing prices at a stable level, Wilkinson added.

“What we have seen in the last year or so is that the cost of land is skyrocketed and housing costs have gone up because of that,” she said.

WHERE WILL THE BOUNDARY EXPAND?

pansion, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she hopes to see the same recommendations are followed when city council decides which areas will be absorbed into the urban boundary.

That’s one possibility, but Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri thinks it could go another way.

“My concern is now that the OMB has ruled on the 850 (hectares), but (has) not suggested anything about staff recommendations, it may open up some other doors … for different areas or different landowners to come forward with their applications,” he said.

For his part, Qadri said he would like to see city council stick to the original areas that were recommended by city staff.

That includes 359 hectares of land in the Kanata and Stittsville areas, as well as 102 hectares in Barrhaven, 37 hectares in Leitrim and 343 hectares in Orleans.

The following areas had been considered for inclusion in the city’s urban boundary when staff originally recommended an 850-hectare expansion in 2009: • At the north end of March Road on either side of the road (includes 235 hectares of developable land) • West of the new Terry Fox Drive extension (47 hectares of developable land) • North of Stittsville, west of the Kanata West urban boundary and south of Highway 417 near Carp Road

Pinhey’s Point hosts nocturnal insects event SIOBHAN MITCHELL City of Ottawa

Are your children curious about creatures? Pack a flashlight and bring the kids out for a night of discovery at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site.

On Saturday, June 11, beginning at 7 p.m., discover a whole new world under the cover of darkness. Guided by an interpreter, uncover the secrets of nocturnal insects through a series of engaging activities.

Learn how to identify different bug species and what they get up to when the sun goes down.

“We’re surrounded by bugs and insects every day of our

lives, and we usually take them for granted,” says Melissa Lansing, Pinhey’s Point’s Education and Interpretation Programs Officer. “It’s fun to come out here at night and learn that insects are more than just something to swat at.”

After a guided hike, warm up around the campfire to roast some marshmallows while an interpreter tells some fun ghost stories from days past.

On June 11, the fun begins after the sun goes down, so bring the kids to this entertaining and informative event. They will surely “bug” you to come again on June 25, when Pinhey’s host the second event in the Crea-

Dangers of water barrels prevent curious youngsters from falling into them.

Once a kid tips head-first into a barrel full of rain water, it is almost impossible for him to get out, he said, adding that there have been several reported cases of drowning.

Animals have also been known to drown in unscreened barrels, he said.

OTTAWA POLICE SERVICE

The custodian at Huntley Centennial Public reported to police that the school’s air conditioner was deliberately damaged sometime over the past year.

The custodian stated that an unidentified person(s) climbed onto the roof of the school and kicked the A/C unit numerous times, causing it to malfunction.

‘F’ FOR FIVE AND FAIL A 38-year-old female driver from Constance Bay was criminally charged with impaired driving on Friday evening, May 27, after her vehicle was stopped by police on Bayview Drive.

Upon speaking with the female, officers detected a strong odour of an alcoholic beverage coming from her breath. When asked how much she had to drink she replied, “five beers.”

After giving a less than half hearted attempt at blowing into the alcohol screening device and being advised to the consequences for refusing to provide a breath sample, the driver reluctantly cooperated and ended up registering an ‘F’.

Handcuffed and arrested for impaired driving, the female was transported to the Huntmar police station for more exams with the breath technician. There, she received her five beer test scores of 171mg% and 156mg%.

Just in case you’re wondering, it is a criminal offence to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 80mg% or higher.

STATING THE OBVIOUS? After losing control of his truck and rolling it to a grinding halt, the driver stumbled out of the ditch and yelled out at the top of his lungs, “[I just] wrecked my F@#$%$* truck.”

It was shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 28, when police were dispatched to a straight stretch of roadway near the West Carleton High School for an accident call. There, along Dunrobin Road, was the driver wanting to know what the people’s problems were and stating the obvious, “I just crashed my $%^& truck.”

Based on the evidence collected at the scene officers placed the driver under arrest and transported him to hospital by ambulance for non-life threatening injuries.

At the hospital the driver’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was tested by a qualified breath technician and subsequently charged criminally for impaired driving.

City tweaks naming process for archives Thirty-day window to submit suggestions LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

In an effort to be “proactive” about renaming the City of Ottawa archives, the city has issued a 30-day callout for name suggestions.

The renaming process kicked off when Mayor Jim Watson rescinded his controversial suggestion to name the new building in Nepean after former mayor Charlotte Whitton.

Instead, the name will be chosen by following the city’s own policies that were created to guide the commemorative

naming policy – but with a twist.

Given the level of interest in naming the Central Archives Ottawa Public Library Materials Centre, city spokesperson Jocelyne Turner said city staff is acting “proactively” to solicit possible names.

Normally, the commemorative naming considers individual name suggestions for city property such as buildings, roads and parks.

However, for the archives, the process will be slightly different. People have until June 30 at 4:30 p.m. to submit suggestions for the archive’s name. Each suggestion

will be investigated to see if it complies with the city’s commemorative naming policy (for instance, the same name cannot be used twice for safety reasons).

The suggestions that comply will then be considered in bulk to determine which name best suits the city archives building.

Members of the committee include the city clerk (or representative), the mayor, the ward councillor (in this case, College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli) and the general managers of several city departments (people services, corporate services and development

The crew cooked and served dinner to 230 people at the Agricultural Hall, despite a wind storm having knocked out power.

Guest speaker that night was R.W. Bro William J. Lewis, master of Lodge Canada in Kandahar.

He compared the military lodge in Kandahar to the military lodge in France in the First World War. The latter donated furniture to the Carp lodge, which was available for viewing during Doors Open Ottawa on Saturday, June 4.

Lewis, who is from New Brunswick, was invested by the Governor-General as an Officer in the Order of Military Merit in 1998. He was elected to District Deputy Grand Master of Prince Edward District for 2009-2010.

Continued from front In Arnprior alone, he responded to mutual calls at the high school fire (a man from his crew fell through the ceiling and survived); the Beamish department store blaze in the 1970s, now a parking lot near John and Elgin streets; and an arson at the building in place before Mac’s Milk on Madawaska Street was built.

The most dangerous from a personal vantage was a house fire on Steen Side Road that nearly engulfed him. “I couldn’t breathe, so I had to go through the window,� he said with hands around his neck as if in strangulation. “That one scared me.�

In others the results were devastating. He’s dealt with a suspected murder-suicide, searching for a body among ashes, homes ravaged by fire during Christmastime and more.

A few stick out in his mind. Although unwilling to go into great detail on others, for fear of sensationalizing events, he nevertheless is willing to explain through an anecdote that the job isn’t always pleasant. One example was a single-occupant accident near Highway 17 and Galetta Side Road. A car smashed into a trailer. “He was not in good shape. He died in front of us.�

Then, eyes turning red, he talked about the phone call he got from the man’s widow in Pembroke later that night. She wanted to know if he said anything before dying. “What could I do? I couldn’t lie,� he said, seeming to still wrestle with the decision. “I told her the truth. He didn’t say anything.�

The woman said she should have gone first. She had cancer. “It’s not a glorious job,� he said. “Usually because you are out in the community and you know a lot of people. Somebody knows somebody.�

Reitsma remains remarkably jovial despite all that he has experienced. He describes going on calls thinking one of his children might be involved. That has happened to local firefighters. And when it does, they are forced to work through the emotions or pull back from the scene, he said. “Then you are driving back and your hands sweat,� he said. “You don’t go to bed that night and wonder if you did everything right or if you could have done things differently. It’s hard.�

Nevertheless, counselling has long been available to firefighters and there is a type of fraternal bond that forms among the crews.

They often talk among themselves afterward to work it out. It helps to be easy-going because tempers will flare, he said, and the balance between even-handed veterans and gung-ho younger guys is a good one to maintain.

Among the benefits of amalgamation have been the improvements in equipment and a greater number of responders. At one time a firefighter may have to spend up to an hour in a house fire. Today, there are crews rotating every 15 minutes to get inside. “Something great, too, is that employers are good about letting guys (go to volunteer-led emergencies).�

He also credits work done by fire prevention officers. “I used to go into schools and talk to the kids,� he said. “They absorb everything you tell them, the ‘stop, drop and roll,’ and they bring it home.�

of the house when the husbands were away at work.

His first encounter with Mila, known as an elegant and sophisticated woman, was while he caulked drafty windows in the Harrington Lake home in winter. She came in wearing a housecoat with her hair up, carrying a cup of coffee for him. “It’s not the way most people picture her,� he said, chuckling. “The next time she was in a ball gown.�

Reitsma got on well with the rich and powerful, treating them no differently than anyone else. They reciprocated, asking him in person when they needed a job done. “I found if you treated them like real people they did the same,� he said. “And once they get to know you personally and what you can do, they use you a lot.�

Reitsma insists that being a volunteer firefighter isn’t a job done by one man in isolation. He said wives like Faye are there in the middle of the night to help on the home front. “She’s first out the door to open the garage door when I’m getting up,� he said.

Faye said it can be difficult to have a husband as a firefighter. She, too, is glued to the scanner listening for the latest calls.

If the roads are icy, she knows it could be a bad night for emergency crews.

But, like her husband, Faye is at once stoic and cheerful. “It’s not too bad. I sit with my tea,� she said.

Reitsma is father to Chad and Tyler, and married to Faye. His day job for many years was as a cabinet maker. After a lengthy stint in carpentry, Reitsma decided at the age of 50 that he wanted to work indoors.

He couldn’t have picked a better indoor place than Rideau Hall.

As it turns out the National Capital Commission was searching for an older handyman to work at the Governor-General’s residence, along with others such as the prime minister’s home, 24 Sussex Dr., and the leader of the opposition’s, Stornoway in Rockcliffe Park.

WEST CARLETON REVIEW - June 9 2011

No politicians on archives building Journalists, not much more popular than politicians, know enough not to name newspapers or news programs after themselves. Politicians ought reach at least our level of humility and not go around naming every street, park and archives building that comes up after one of their own.

Mayor Jim Watson finally relented from naming the new archives building after former Ottawa mayor Charlotte Whitton. Good choice. But the guidelines Ottawans are supposed to follow when suggesting a new name all but point to - you guessed it - another politician getting their name on top. The guidelines are as follows: • The nominated individual has demonstrated excellence, courage or exceptional service to the citizens of the City of Ottawa, the Province of Ontario and/or Canada.

• The nominated individual has provided extensive community service and has an extraordinary community service record.

• The nominated individual has worked to foster equality and reduce discrimination.

• The nominated individual is a current City of Ottawa employee, and has made an outstanding contribution to the City of Ottawa unrelated and

to outside of his/her job responsibilities, capacity and duties as a city employee.

• The nominated individual is a former employee of the City of Ottawa and is to be recognized for exceptional service unrelated to and outside of his/her job responsibilities, capacity and duties as a former City employee.

• The nominated individual has made a significant financial contribution to a park or facility, and the contribution significantly benefits the community that the park or facility serves (i.e. the park or facility may not have otherwise been possible without the financial assistance).

• The nominated name has historical significance to the community, City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario or Canada.

The person chosen will likely not fulfill every guideline. It is possible someone will win who isn’t a current or former City of Ottawa employee. There is a chance someone outside the public sector is worthy. Still, it does nothing to bridge the gap between high-paid politicians and bureaucrats and the people who pay for buildings, streets and parks. How about calling it the Taxpayers’ Archives building?

It’s not your grandfather’s NHL, Winnipeg Most people are pretty happy that Winnipeg has worked itself back into the National Hockey League. If there is a city where hockey belongs, Winnipeg is it.

But amid the joyful voices are dire warnings. Winnipeg better sell out its arena every night, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman warns, or else. Winnipeg is too small, others say. No matter how much people love hockey in Winnipeg, there are not enough of them.

Of course, we heard that lots in Ottawa when the Senators first began playing here almost 20 years ago. After the heady first couple of years, reality settled in.

We had a losing team and people stopped going to see it.

There were warnings then, some of them from the owner.

People started going again, maybe because of the threats, but probably because the team began winning. When the team wins, the fans come. It’s a formula that works just about everywhere.

When the team wins, other good things follow. Merchandise sold better.

Corporate sponsors were easier to attract. The Senators began appearing on television more often, a helpful thing for the revenue stream.

All of that can happen in Winnipeg,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town which is about the same size as Ottawa, although there is a smaller population base to draw upon in the surrounding area.

It will be great if it works in Winnipeg, if only to discredit the assumption that pro sports, and particularly hockey, have been working on for many years. That assumption is that population is more important than fan interest in determining a team’s future. Following that reasoning, the NHL expanded into a number of cities in which there was no interest in hockey.

One of those cities is Atlanta, which has now lost its second franchise in 30 years (don’t forget the Flames, which moved to Calgary in the ’80s).

The success of the new Winnipeg team will disprove the theory that hockey has

become too big to survive in mediumsized cities. Sure, it is big. The salaries are huge, and so are other costs. To pay them the teams set ticket prices discouragingly high. Can people in Winnipeg pay them? Apparently people in Ottawa can, although another losing season would be an interesting test.

Those ticket prices are high. One report says that Winnipeg will have to charge an average of $80. Did you ever notice that if you tell someone you went to a Senators game, the question is inevitably, “Did you pay for your ticket?” It is always assumed that no one would go to the game unless they got a freebie somehow.

Is everything getting too big?

Look at all the people who are staying home, watching stuff on giant living room screens, rather than supporting the arts or their team.

Stores are too big and too remote.

The small one in your neighbourhood is gone. You have to get into your car to get to the large one. There are reports of a big cinema complex that will go into Lansdowne Park, causing smaller ones to be closed. So it goes.

Even the Ottawa International Jazz Festival, which has always operated on a reasonable scale, has become too big.

In order to attract enough paying custom-

ers to keep the festival going on its present scale, the festival has to abandon jazz on its main stage in prime time.

If it works, is that good or bad?

Returning to smaller times is not an option, experts say. If the jazz festival goes small, it loses corporate and government sponsorship. If a neighbourhood bookstore stays small, people who want to buy knickknacks and scented candles won’t go there. Apparently a bookstore that doesn’t sell scented candles goes out of business.

The odds are that pro hockey is never going back to the days of affordable salaries and affordable tickets. Welcome back to the NHL, Winnipeg. Think about winning.

Letter to the Editor

To the editor: In a recent interview in an Ottawa newspaper, newly acclaimed president of the Carleton Landowners Association indicates by her comments that the head may change, but it is still the same old organization.

She talks about the organization being a serious political player and then refers to the challenge of maintaining and growing the membership.

It is stating the obvious, something that has not been the CLA’s strong suit, but a serious political player has no difficulty in attracting and maintaining membership.

If, in fact, she is referring to Randy Hillier’s election to the legislature as political power, I would point out that that Hillier has distinguished himself by being ejected from the legislature, hardly something that at-

tracts mainstream followers.

Perhaps most telling is Dolan’s comment that all those stunts that the various landowners pulled were just attention-getting devices, sort of like a child throwing a temper tantrum.

According to Dolan, if you are a new unknown group, this is what you must do to gain attention.

This probably comes as a shock to the hundreds of new organizations that spring up each year, that they have to pretend and act in an outlandish way in order to attract attention.

Dolan would like to attract more members from the urban areas, which is unlikely, as they have seen what this group is and want no part of it.

Going forward, if indeed this is to happen, the group needs to clearly define what its goal is. Are they to be

a group that attacks all things that come from government, regardless of whether the vast majority of the populace support these government initiatives?

Are they a group that puts ownership of land above all else, including the law?

Finally, in their years since its inception, what have they accomplished, or better still what do they want to accomplish other than constantly opposing?

If you constantly find fault with government, then I would suggest you will always be the activist group that likes to parade around with signs telling government to back off, unless it’s a government cheque which you will take gladly.

Caring for a loved one? You are not alone COREY DESORMEAUX Ottawa Public Health

With a population that is aging and living longer, individuals may require care and support over a long period of time.

The contribution of informal caregivers is vastly underestimated.

Surveys have shown family members and friends provide 75 to 85 per cent of the care and support to seniors.

Caregivers, whether it is a spouse, a daughter or a neighbor, become an essential link in the health care chain.

Seniors choosing to remain in their own home can often become quite frail

and may not be able to do the day-to-day activities required to maintain their homes or care for themselves.

There are many available resources, but knowing where to start can be difficult. It’s important to start planning and know what is available in your community for support.

If you want to provide help to your loved one, you need to reach out and accept help. Support from others will allow you to recharge your batteries so you can continue caring for the ones you love.

The Seniors’ Health and Caregiver Support Program from Ottawa Public Health is there to help. Public health nurses re-

spond to telephone inquiries, offer information on the availability of community services and provide guidance and support on care giving issues.

The “Community Resource Guide for Caregivers of Seniors” is available at no cost.

It lists community resources available in Ottawa and includes communication and self-care tips for the caregiver.

If you are caring for someone, consider these helpful tips: • Keep a diary of noticeable changes, events and appointments; • Have an updated list of medications; • Don’t hesitate to consult the pharma-

cist; • Get familiar with services in the community; • Be informed about Power of Attorney and wills; • Write down questions ahead of time before appointments; • Learn to set limits and accept help; • Take care of your health; • Remember… You are doing your best.

For more information, or to get your free copy of the “Community Resource Guide for Caregivers of Seniors” please contact the Seniors’ Health and Caregiver Support Program at 613-580-6744 ext.26185 or on the web at Ottawa.ca/health.

Great kick off to Wolverines Girls second season The last weekend of May marked the start of the National Capital Amateur Football Association’s Girls touch football season.

The Wolverines with two Pee-Wee aged teams (12, 13 and 14 year olds) were anxious to get the season underway. Both teams travelled to Orleans for doubleheader games at Carine Wilson Secondary School versus the always tough Kanata Knights.

The Gold team started the season off in fine fashion as they were able to come away with a victory in their first game versus Kanata Red by a score of 7-0.

Quarterback Hillary Wilson completed a short pass to receiver Dana Boettcher for a 6-0 lead. Wilson would then run the ball in from five yards out to add the extra point. Give credit to the Wolverine defence they were able to keep the Knights off the scoreboard. Leading the way were returning players Tiffani Mcmurray and Coralie Scissons who harassed the Kanata QB and running backs all game.

Game two saw the Wolverines Gold team play Kanata’s Blue team. In a well played exciting game the Knights would prevail 12-7 when they were able to score on a long run late in the game. The Wolverines were lead by first year running back Dana Davidson who would rush for over 50 yards and scored West’s lone touchdown. Kicker Jaiden Peterson would add a single point on a punt to give the Wolverines a lead in the second half 7-6. Playing strong defence for West Carleton were Taylin Smith and Sarah Wilson.

Week two saw Wolverines gold team play two games at Franco Ouest High School.

In a close game the Wolverines lost a 4-0 decision to the Bell Warriors. Having strong games on defence were Madison Beehler and Sierra Stanley. Quarterback Skylar Scissons played well in her first ever action at QB as did receiver Jenny McClure.

West Carleton’s Navy team also opened the season in Orleans with games against the Knights.

In game one the Wolverines lost a close decision 14-6. First year running back Lorie Wilson was able to score the lone touchdown for West.

In game two Kanata was able to break a scoreless tie late in the game with a long run and prevail 6-0.

RELAY GREAT EFFORT Left, the Lucky Charms Relay for Life team shows off the t-shirt worn by many of the West Carleton Secondary School students during the event. It reads: “West Carleton SS, 450 students, 12 hours, one fight, May 27, 2011.” From left are ‘Mommy’ Nixon, Renae Nixon, Kathleen Young, Alexi Greenwood, Courtney Sheehan (holding the t-shirt), Kevin Boldt, Shannon Brady, Sam Strong and Alex Strickland. Right, the band Eyes of the New leads off the musical entertainment at the Relay for Life.

West Carleton Secondary School Relay for Life co-chairs Jessica Barr and Chris Smith were all smiles as the first wave of students circled the track May 27. The school’s sixth annual relay earned more than $70,000 for cancer research.

Out with the cold – In with the hue

(NC)—With the warm days of summer upon us, it is the perfect time to inject vibrant colours into our homes to lift our spirits and make them as warm and inviting as the weather.

And luckily, with just a few minor updates you can create a major impact on the décor (and enjoyment) of your home.

has your patio furniture seen better days? If the sun and snow have taken a toll on your outdoor seating, look no further than a can of spray paint to update the look. No matter if you’ve got rusty metal, weathered wood or dingy plastic, you can turn trash into treasure in no time.

NEW HUE IN THE LOO

Krylon’s Fusion for Plastic paint is available in dozens of colours to bring everything from seating to decorative accents back to life. For wood materials, try Krylon’s outdoor spray stain, and to cover rust on metal – or to prevent it in the future – Krylon’s Outdoor Spaces has the colour and finish to suit any décor needs.

The powder room is a space you use every day – and that guests also view. For this small space, test out a new bold colour that you may not be as daring to use in other larger areas.

According to industry experts, green is one of the most popular hues in the bathroom this year. Splash the walls with a coat of paint in a vibrant shade. Or simply update your decorative accents throughout the room with contrasting colours to make a beautiful design statement.

FRESHEN UP FURNITURE

“Spray painting is a simple project that even a novice DIYer can feel comfortable doing,” said Katherine Merkle, Krylon brand manager.

“With just a bit of prep work and a quality product, your project will be the envy of your neighbours in no time.”

AMAZING ACCENTS If you’ve grown tired of the colour scheme in your living areas or bedroom, updating fabric accents can make a dramatic change to your rooms for years to come… or simply for the season.

To brighten chairs, loveseats and couches add new decorative throw pillows or drape a new blanket over the back. In the bedroom, a new comforter can add new style (and comfort) to the room. Plus, these accents can be quite affordable and are easily changeable when you’re ready for a new hue.

With a few simple updates, your home’s style (and your mood) can be elevated with new bright colours. More information can be found online at www.projectsinacan.com. www.newscanada.com

As you move outdoors to enjoy the weather…

properly fitting helmet, your chance of getting a brain injury from a fall is 85 per cent less than if you do not wear one.

Putting on a helmet and making sure it fits properly is easy to do if you follow the 2V1 rule.

How to fit a bicycle helmet using the 2V1 rule According to the law, everyone under the age of 18 must wear a CSA, CPSC or Snell certified bicycle helmet when cycling. You can set a good example by always wearing your helmet when cycling.

Summer is here and it is time to enjoy being outdoors in Ottawa. If you are riding your bike to get to work or to simply have fun, make sure you protect your head and brain by wearing a helmet that fits properly.

Falls can happen even if you are a good cyclist and ride all the time. A number of things can make you crash: a car might cut you off, a dog might run out in front of you, or your tire might hit a crack in the road.

Galetta homeowner chases off would-be thieves CONST. PETER JEON OTTAWA POLICE SERVICE

An attempted residential break and enter was thwarted in the 3000 section area of Galetta Side Road when a homeowner surprised two would-be robbers and gave them much more than they bargained for.

It was mid-afternoon on Thursday, May 26, when the homeowner was dragged from his slumber by the sounds of a ringing doorbell.

Looking out of the bedroom window, overlooking the front door, he observed a white van sitting in his driveway and a male in his early 20s standing at the front door.

Thinking it was just a solicitor, he decided not to answer it and headed back to bed. No sooner had he crawled back into bed, the doorbell rang several more times followed by the sound of a van firing up.

This time when he looked out to see what was going on, he immediately noticed that the van was backed up to his garage and there were now two males standing outside of his front door.

As the realization of what was unfolding before him started to sink in, the distinct sounds of a front door being breached echoed throughout the hallways.

Clearly understanding that the dark forces of crime were just about to make their unwelcomed entrance, a call to action was unavoidable.

Rushing out a side door, the homeowner conducted an end run and challenged the males. Surprised to say the least, the males leapt out of their skins and hightailed back to the waiting van.

Before the robbers could make their getaway out of the driveway, throwing up a wake of gravel and dirt, the homeowner captured the van’s licence plate number and a description of the two white males.

A stole van was later recovered in the downtown core area of Ottawa and the OPS Break and Enter Investigation Unit continues to investigate.

Remember, crime prevention is everyone’s business - be the eyes and ears in your community and report any suspicious and unusual events to police.

CARP ROAD ROCKS Rocks continue to fly down Carp Road. A driver called police on Tuesday afternoon, May 24, to report a flying rock incident.

The driver stated that a rock flew off of a commercial vehicle that was travelling in the opposite direction on Carp Road and ended up damaging his front windshield.

Carp Road commuters’ are encouraged to report all flying rock incidents to police or the West Carleton CPC for tracking purposes.

ROW, ROW, ROW YOUR BOAT It wasn’t so gentle, that Monday afternoon, May 23, when strong winds forced a row boat, loaded with three people onboard, into a grove of shoreline bushes.

The 911-caller stated the threesome set out onto Constance Lake for a nice quiet afternoon row when the winds came up and forced their boat into the shoreline.

She said that the winds were so strong that they were unable to get out of that unforeseen predicament.

Within a short period of time, emergency services arrived on scene and firefighters launched their rescue boats to tow the S. S. Minnow to safety.

Community Bulletin Board

BEAR WITH ME, DEER But this collision doesn’t count. Week 21 and one driver reported a bear collision at the intersection of Dunrobin and Kinburn Side roads.

The driver told police that he was travelling at about 60 km-ph when a black bear walked in front of his car and was killed on impact.

Back to the deer count, five more deer collisions were reported in the rural west districts of Ottawa - two collisions in the West Carleton ward and three in Rideau-Goulbourn.

So, the total score now stands at 57 to 24 in favor of Rideau-Goulbourn.

FIRE May 22: Cottage Lane, MacLaren’s Landing — shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday, emergency services were dispatched to a cottage in MacLaren’s Landing for a report of a working fire. A 911-caller indicated everyone was safely out of the house and smoke could be seen coming from the rooftop.

With the help of a neighbor, the owner attempted to extinguish the fire with a garden hose but abandoned the effort when the roof became too hot underfoot.

The fire was quickly extinguished by the firefighters upon arrival. However, damage to the cottage was extensive.

MISCHIEF May 23: Constance Bay — several roadside mailboxes, civic address signs, and newspaper drop boxes in the Constance Bay area were reportedly damaged and/or removed sometime during the overnight hours on Sunday, May 22.

Some of the mailboxes that were completely hauled out of the ground and reported stolen were later found lying by side of the road.

One complainant noted some sort of event took place on Dunster Street; however, it was never reported to police.

Thefts of vehicles, theft from vehicles, and vandalism have been linked to house parties that have been hosted by teenagers and young people. The crime blast radius can extend several streets and neighbourhoods away from ground zero - the party zone.

If you are aware of a house party — let the police and the community know so precautions can be taken.

THEFT May 26: Thomas A. Dolan Parkway, Dunrobin Village — Two hubcaps were reportedly stolen off of a vehicle that was left unattended at the Dunrobin Community Centre.

The theft occurred sometime between 6 and 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 25, while the owner was watching a soccer game in the fields.

Nothing was reported stolen from inside of the vehicle as the doors were locked.

Patrol officers in the West Carleton area responded to 55 general calls for service from the public for the reporting period of May 20 to 26.

MAKE THE RIGHT CALL The West Carleton Police Centre is located at 5670 Carp Road and can be reached at 613-236-1222, ext. 2982.

The centre is a “community problemsolving centre” and is responsible for the delivery of the Ottawa Police crime prevention programs.

FCC funding available to rural communities Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is accepting applications for its FCC AgriSpirit Fund from now until June 20.

Registered charities and non-profit organizations interested in funding this year are encouraged to visit www.agrispirit.ca for eligibility requirements and to apply online. FCC will give a total of $1 million in funding to rural community

groups across Canada for capital projects.

“The FCC AgriSpirit Fund is about enhancing rural communities,” said Kellie Garrett, FCC Senior Vice-President, Strategy, Knowledge and Reputation.

“Since 2004, we’ve provided $4.5 million in AgriSpirit funding to 480 capital community projects.”

FCC annually awards rural community groups between $5,000 and $25,000 in AgriSpirit funding for community improvement projects such as emergency services equipment, playgrounds, recreation centres and care homes in communities with populations fewer than 100,000.

For a project to be considered for fund-

ing, it must meet specific criteria and be completed before December 2013. FCC will announce the selected projects in December 2011.

In 2010, FCC received 919 applications for AgriSpirit funding and gave $1 million to 104 community groups across Canada.
