The page has turned in the Ottawa community newspaper market.

You are reading the final edition of the West Carleton Review. As of today’s edition (Jan. 11), this community newspaper will cease publication.

A total of eight papers are shutting down. They were previously owned

by Metroland Media and acquired by Postmedia Network Inc. as part of a November 2017 agreement, which has reshaped the news landscape in Ottawa.

The deal saw Postmedia acquire 22 of Torstar’s (Metroland’s parent company) community newspaper properties and two free commuter daily newspapers and to sell 15 of Postmedia’s community newspaper properties and two free commuter daily newspapers to Torstar.

This was effectively a non-cash transaction as the properties had approximately similar fair values.

“This transaction allows Postmedia to focus on strategic areas and core products, and allows us to continue with a suite of community-based products, in a deeply disrupted industry,” said Paul Godfrey, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Postmedia, in a Nov. 27 news release.

Staff at the Kanata Kourier-Standard, Stittsville News, West Carleton Review, Ottawa East News, Ottawa West News, Nepean-Barrhaven News, Orleans News and Ottawa South News have been touched by the many calls, emails and letters of support received since the closure of the papers was announced.

West Carleton Country Knitters are three busy, busy groups

BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

The West Carleton Country Knitters are a busy group.

Or, more appropriately, groups because there are now three West Carleton Country Knitters groups — North, West and South with the South group involving knitters from Stittsville and Kanata.

All of the knitting is donated to various charities. In 2016-17, almost 2,000 items were donated. Charities supported include Chrysalis House, the Ottawa Mission Hospice, the Granite Ridge long term care facility, the Kanata Hospice, the Carlingview Manor Long Term Care facility in Ottawa, the Queensway Carleton Hospital and Operation Come Home. New charities include Buns in the Oven which provides items for babies and Knit 4 Peace which helps children in war torn countries.

Also, the South group works in conjunction with the Stittsville Legion and the Knotty Knitters at the Stittsville Retirement Community to

produce picc line covers for those in hospital.

The South group meets every two weeks, with the knitters involved using the session to work on whatever item they are currently knitting.

Besides the group itself, there are also knitters who work at home, with the group providing the wool for the items knitted.

Donations of wool are always needed as the knitters are a very productive group, constantly needing wool for new items.

Members of the group not only feel good because they are helping others through providing these donated items to the various charities but also they develop friendships with their fellow knitters.

In addition, they get to share knitting tips with each other.

The first West Carleton Country Knitters group began in Carp about nine years ago, with the groups having grown and evolved from then.

If you have wool that you would like to donate or perhaps would like to join the group, please contact Mary Hyland of Stittsville at 613-831-7429.

Lyle Alexander has won 34 club championships

BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Lyle Alexander of Carp has long been a champion golfer in the Ottawa area.

His longevity as a top golfer is best revealed by the fact that he has won club championships in six different decades and has hopes of stretching that to seven decades in 2020. In total he has won 34 club championships: 17 ‘A’ class titles and 17 senior club championships.

He won his first club championship at the former Outaouais golf club in Rockland in 1968 and won his last club championship in 2012 at the Greensmere Golf and Country Club in West Carleton.

Lyle, now 71 years old, first golfed with his parents at the Outaouais when he was in his teens. Outaouais was his golf home until his parents moved to the Carleton Golf and Yacht Club near Manotick in 1980. He joined the Rivermead Golf Club for a few years before joining his parents at the Carleton Golf and Yacht Club.

In these years, he was an avid long distance runner, running every day and so he was not playing as much John Curry/Metroland golf as at other times in his life.

Lyle, a teacher, then joined the Lyle Alexander of Carp has long been one of the Mississippi Golf and Country Club area’s top golfers.

at Carleton Place for a dozen years before becoming one of Greensmere’s early lifetime members, calling it the best investment that he has ever made.

He lives nearby Greensmere and plays there regularly.

Lyle admits that golf is probably the most difficult game that he has played in his life which has been filled with sports, both team and individual.

He finds golf challenging but notes that his desire to improve his game now is as strong as ever. And today’s improved equipment helps him do this.

He says that he enjoys playing golf whether it is by himself or in a tournament. He has come to love the game and enjoy its challenges.

When he was 18 years old, boasting a single digit handicap, he played in a junior tournament at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club. He found that he enjoyed playing in tournaments and began playing in Ottawa District field days.

In his early 20s, he played in such tournaments as the Quebec Amateur and the Alexander of Tunis. Indeed, he ended up playing about 25 years in a row in the Alexander of Tunis tournament. His best score ever was even par which he shot in the tournament about 1975.

He has kept playing in tournaments

for a very simple reason.

“I just enjoy the competition,” he says.

When he turned 55 years of age, he added more tournaments to his schedule, namely tournaments for seniors.

He has also played in the Canadian championship in 2001 and in 2004 played in the Canadian Seniors at Brantford where he made the cut.

Lyle played in the Ontario Seniors last year at

the Marshes Golf Club in Kanata. He double bogeyed the final hole to finish second in the age 65-70 category.

He admits that it was a disappointing turn of events but he sums it up simply by saying “That’s golf.”

He admits to being a bit of a perfectionist as a golfer, always trying new techniques.

Certified as a golf rules official Continued from page 5

But Lyle is more than just a golfer. For the past decade or so, he has been a golf rules official, officiating at various tournaments, some of which like the Alexander of Tunis he used to play in.

He is a level four official which involves national certification and being knowledgeable about all of the rules of golf.

And while he enjoys this role as a rule official at tournaments, he admits that he would rather play than officiate. But he also sees officiating as a way of helping other golfers and so he continues officiating at tournaments.

Lyle says that the Eagle Creek golf course is probably his favourite course to play.

“It’s just nice,” he says of the Ken Venturi-designed course near Dunrobin. He likes the modern course design and its pleasant surroundings, saying that playing there is just like a walk in a park.

Lyle adds, though, that he also enjoys playing the legacy course at his home Greensmere layout.

He says that he is a relatively short hitter off the tee but that he is straight. He identifies his short game and his putting as his weaknesses.

He says that he has always been distance-challenged in his golfing, wistfully admiring today’s youthful golfers with their improved equipment and especially the better balls available.

At age 71, he admits that he cannot hit the ball that long but that being straight makes up for a lot of distance. He likes a tight swing, such as that of pro golfer Steve Stricker, because he believes

Youth Treatment Centre closer to reality SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The new home of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is one step closer to reality.

Work has started on Phase 1 of the project which includes site preparation including installation of the septic system. Bradford Construction won the tender to undertake this work which started this month. ”The good news is Phase 1 has started,” Stephanie MacGregor, executive director of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Foundation told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville at ta recent club meeting where she gave an update about the project.

She said that it has taken a gargantuan effort by all concerned to get the project to this point where digging is occurring on the site.

The Rotary Club of Ottawa — Stittsville has been a long time supporter of the project, committing to a $30,000 pledge to the fundraising campaign a number of years ago, meant to be paid over a ten year period. The pledge was fulfilled in five years.

The project involves construction of a $11.8 million facility for the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre on Bradley Side Road which is in West Carleton just off the Richardson Side Road.

A total of $7.3 million in funding from different sources including $1 million from fundraising and $1.5 million from the province has been confirmed, with $4.5 million still to be raised.

that such a swing allows a golfer to hit the ball straight.

Because of his accuracy, he tends to like shorter, tighter courses which require driving accuracy and the ability to put the ball where it needs to go.

He is enjoying his senior golf years, playing with others against whom he has played for years.

He said that the camaraderie among the senior golfers is fabulous, adding that while everyone wants to win, they are all happy if they simply play well.

But Lyle does more than just play golf or officiate at golf tournaments. He also assembles golf clubs, fitting them to the golfer. He did this quite a bit for a few years after he retired from teaching but it turned out to be too much like work.

Now he still assembles his own clubs and does some repair work. He does, though, have a thorough knowledge of how to match a club to a swing, taking into account all of the variables such as the stiffness of a shaft and other factors.

During the winter, he hits balls indoors three days a week, keeping his golfing muscles tuned up. In addition, he just enjoys hitting a golf ball.

He also skates and goes to the gym several times a week and walks every day in the winter to keep fit.

During the golfing season, he basically practices or plays every day, either playing which he does several times a week or hitting balls at his backyard platform and net.

Lyle taught at several schools during his career including D. Aubrey Moodie Intermediate School and Goulbourn Middle School.

Consultants have been hired to help with this remaining fundraising which will be seeking major donor gifts of $100,000 and up.

Construction of the facility itself is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2018. The new facility will offer residential treatment services for youth aged 13 to 21 suffering from substance abuse and mental health issues.

The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre was established in 1993 by Ottawa philanthropist and renowned restaurateur Dave Smith. It offered day programming from 1993 to 2010 when residential treatment was implemented for both male and female youth in different facilities, now up to 24 beds in total.

The new facility will consolidate the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre services at one site with an increase in beds to 30 beds.

Since 1993, the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre has provided help to more than 15,000 youth and caregivers.

The average age of those helped by the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is 17 to 19 years of age, with over half being 18 years of age or older. Just over half of those helped are male.

Substance abuse includes use of tobacco, cannabis, alcohol, crack and cocaine and heroin and opioids.

Mental health issues accompany substance abuse, with 90 per cent of the youth dealing with two or more mental health issues. These include depression, stress, suicidal thoughts and other issues.

Keep calm: coyotes have always been with us

C

oyotes in the Greenbelt. Coyotes within the Experimental Farm.

This North American native animal is smaller in stature than a wolf but is fairly ubiquitous. Indeed, in recent times, it has moved closer to urban areas, bringing out this perceived conflict with humans.

The headlines may scare some people but history says we’re all going to be OK. Coyotes will go where the food is or, more specifically, where the easiest-to-catch food is. That means they do well when they live near human habitation where they can scavenge, eat small rodents, dead carcasses and the occasional pet left alone outside.

Humans aren’t at risk. Indeed, some would argue the reverse, namely that man is a threat to coyotes.

But setting such arguments aside, coyotes are not to be feared if given their distance.

History has shown that coyotes want nothing to do with animals bigger than they are and humans fit into this category. At the same time, it’s only hu-

man to fear an animal that can kill.

There are tips out there to reduce the likelihood of any interactions between coyote and human.

Keep garbage wrapped up tight and put it out just shortly before the garbage truck comes along. Keep pets inside unless you are with them.

Report all sightings to the City of Ottawa which can track such occurrences and identify any areas where coyote numbers are growing and perhaps becoming of concern.

It may be nostalgic to look back on the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote cartoon series and think of Wile E. as a hapless, dimwitted animal. It made for good humour and laughter on television screens but did a disservice to Wile E. and his brethren.

Coyotes in real life are stealthy, cunning predators.

They may not terrify but they certainly deserve to be respected.

So keep your distance, take the necessary precautions and there should be no problems in your neighbourhood.

It’s been a privilege to be a community journalist

BY THERESA FRITZ theresa.fritz@metroland.com

B

ack on sunny day in June 1989, I sat at my Carleton University convocation ceremony and could not believe my luck.

Not only did I have my first real job as a reporter to go to the following week, I was sitting listening to then media-mogul Conrad Black speak.

Black’s words about the industry at that time filled me with hope and excitement.

I believed I had chosen a profession where I would make a difference and what I wrote would impact people’s lives. I also expected to retire from this profession. That

was not to be.

The details are simple enough.

Myself, along with other talented Ottawa journalists, are now out of work due to a newspaper transaction between Metroland Media and Postmedia in November 2017.

It’s business and it happens. But, for me, it’s personal.

This job of mine has never been just a job. It wasn’t for the money.

Had I wanted to monetize my education all those years ago, I would have continued on and pursued the law career I had planned.

This career of mine was a calling based on a natural curiosity, a desire to get to the bottom of things and serve the public by providing them information.

Awards were never the motiva-

tor. It was that call from someone who liked a story that meant more.

It was the person who reached out in the grocery store who mattered.

And it was the complaints too.

Mistakes – those made you want to do better.

You can’t hide when you are face-to-face with your community.

That’s community journalism.

Being let into someone’s home, their lives, or having them share their joy or heartbreak with you is quite something. It is a trust.

Building trust takes years.

This passion of mine has kept me going for 28 years. I can’t even begin to guess how many assignments I have covered, how many stories I have written or how many people – the famous and not-so-

famous – I have interviewed. I have boxes in my basement filled with clippings, papers, photos and negatives. I just can’t seem to part with them. More recent work fills several USB keys.

Some stories I have written have touched me more than others. They are permanently etched on my soul. Some have made me laugh, others cry. I know journalists should remain objective but if you are not human, what’s the point?

There are too many people to thank for their support but there are a few who are very special to me. I need not name them here. I believe they know who they are.

I came across a copy of the final edition of the Toronto Telegram

from 1971 while cleaning out my office. Reading the front-page story about the paper’s closing, a quote from one departing reporter struck me.

“I want it remembered that I did not leave the news business,” he said. “It left me.”

Newspapers matter. They reflect our communities, our neighbours, ourselves. A community newspaper is quite possibly a community’s best friend, a hand to hold in good times and bad.

It is hard to say goodbye. Times have changed. My industry has changed.

I, for one, will always be proud to say I was a journalist. And I want it known that I didn’t leave my profession, it left me.

After 35 years of supporting local families living with dementia, the local non-profit organization is primed for yet another successful year of supporting families impacted by dementia as “The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County”. They have and will continue to help people diagnosed with any form of dementia* and their caregivers.

“Our organization has always worked with people challenged by Lewy Body, Frontotemporal, Vascular, Parkinsonian and other dementias but this has not been reflected in our name,” says Paddy Bowen, Chief Executive Director of the recently named The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County. “We are also cognizant of the growing tide of interest in dementia as reflected by the recently announced Ontario Dementia Strategy and the National Dementia Strategy.”

Ward 5 West Carleton-January My communications game plan With this being my last column to be delivered to your doorstep, I thought it important to provide you with my communications game plan going forward.

Please note that the strategy noted below may change over the coming months as I get feedback from staff and the community on the best ways to notify residents of important ward and city news.

I will be continuing my weekly column after the paper closes, but will only be publishing it via my website and social media accounts. This means there will be no hard copy delivery in your mail each week. I looked into doing mail outs to residents, but the cost is prohibitive.

Jake Davies/Metroland

I know there is a segment of the West Carleton community that appreciates having the physical paper delivered every week and, for some, the move to a digital format may be an issue. I have already met with the City’s Corporate Communications Department to request assistance with communications to these residents. We are working on a solution and will let you know in the coming few months.

Chill in the air West Carleton is gripped by a polar vortex and has faced more than 14 consecutive days below - 5 degrees Celsius and is expected to hit 20 days before the cold snap lets up a little. These photos were taken Jan. 1 at the Galetta Hydro Facility on a day that dipped to -19 degrees Celsius not including the wind chill.

Starting the week of January 15, my strategy will be as follows: • My column will be posted every Monday on www.eliel-chantiry.ca (the first column being posted on January 15) • A hard copy of the latest column will be posted on the bulletin board at my ward office. Residents wanting their own hard copy can stop by my ward office and my staff will gladly print off a copy • My column will be posted every Monday on my social media accounts. Please follow me on Twitter (@Eli_ElChantiry) and subscribe to my Councillor Facebook Page (facebook.com/Ward5Ottawa) • I will also continue my monthly e-newsletter.

If you haven’t already done so, sign up to receive the newsletter in your inbox. Either email ward5@ottawa.ca and ask to be added to the mailing list, or complete the sign up form on my website’s home page • Any community groups who want help promoting their events going forward, can send event details to ward5@ottawa.ca and we’ll make sure to include it under the “Ward Events” section of my website and post it on my social media accounts I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of the staff at the West Carleton Review for their excellent coverage of news and events in Ward 5, and I wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

MTO makes transportation review for Mississippi bridge available

BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has released its transportation report on the replacement of the Mississippi Bridge on old Hwy. 17 and is looking for public feedback.

A small group of attendees and stakeholders attended an Oct. 3 open house at the Kinburn Community Centre to view the MTO’s plans for that section of roadway.

The MTO, with support from Dillon Consulting Limited, decided the best recommended alternative, based on the condition of the current bridge, was to construct a new bridge.

Part of the work done included the research involved in developing a Transportation Environmental Study Report, (TESR) which is now available for review by the public.

The TESR is being made available for public review in accordance with the requirements of MTO’s Class EA. It is available online at www.eastontariobridges.ca or interested parties can view a hard copy of the document at the Arnprior Public Library

neer Brent Visscher spoke of the new bridge during the Oct. 3 open house.

“It is a more open bridge for motorists,” he said. “It will all be tied in nicely.”

The steel girders run underneath the bridge and it will have no tress.

Following construction of the bridge, the province will hand over the road’s management and ownership to the City of Ottawa. The province also paved Hwy. 17 from Arnprior to Antrim in the summer of 2017.

“The city wouldn’t take the road unless it was paved and the bridge repaired,” Ward 5 Coun. Eli El-Chantiry said at the Oct. 3 meeting.

“This job was a little too much for Ottawa. I am pleased the province is going to us the road in good shape.”

Poet, artist Norma Dixon passes away at age 91 SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

She was a poet and an artist — a woman of the arts.

Norma Dixon, a longtime Fitzroy Harbour resident who had been living at the Arnprior Villa Retirement Residence in recent years, died Dec. 28. She was 91 years old.

A poet, artist, photographer, writer, pianist and dancer, she and her husband Doug had moved to Fitzroy Harbour in 1986 where she quickly became the Harbour’s resident poet. One of her poems was featured each month in Fitzroy Harbour’s Peeper newsletter. She even won an

award from the International Society of Poets. Her poems were also a familiar feature at various birthday, anniversary and charity events in the community.

Norma was also an accomplished artist, winning in the watercolour category at the Carp Fair but also known for other art such as pencil sketches.

Her work has been featured at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and at the Arnprior public library.

In 2009, she compiled documents, poems and letters to create a self-published memoir entitled From Grandma’s House and Beyond: The Life of Norma Dixon.

She was an art teacher for years, first in Ottawa and then in Fitzroy Harbour.

She taught at Carlingwood Mall’s Kiwanis Club and then provided art lessons in her Fitzroy Harbour home, including for students from St. Mi-

chael Catholic School.

While growing up in Ottawa, sports was a big part of her life including skating, swimming, skiing, curling, basketball, street baseball, bowling and golf.

After high school she took a typing and shorthand course, working as a secretary for a number of years before she married John Wintonick, an Air Force corporal from Winnipeg. They lived first in Trenton and then in Greenwood, Nova Scotia, having two children, Peter born in 1953 and Suzanne born in 1954. In 2006, Peter won the Governor General’s Award in visual and media arts for his work as a filmmaker.

Her husband John suffered a fatal heart attack in Greenwood in 1962, after which Norma returned to Ottawa with her two young children. In 1969, she married Douglas C. Dixon and the couple would eventually move to Fitzroy Harbour in 1986 where Doug built her an art studio. Doug passed away in 2008.

Art and poetry were always a big part of her life. She attended art school in her youth. In 1987 she studied watercolour at the Ottawa Technical High School and later joined the Ottawa Watercolour Society. Besides teaching art students at her Fitzroy Harbour home, she also taught night classes for the Renfrew County Board of Education at Arnprior District High School.

Work by her students was also displayed at Ottawa City Hall. She had taught art classes at the Heron Road Recreation Centre in Ottawa. In 1989 her work was part of an art exhibition at Queen’s Park in Toronto.

Norma Esther Dixon is survived by her daughter Suzanne Olsheskie (Barry), five grandchildren and five great grandchildren.

She is also survived by a brother Ronald A. Latham as well as by many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husbands John Wintonick and Douglas C. Dixon as well as by her son Peter K. Wintonick (Christine) and her sister Valerie Anne Latham Von Boetticher.

A funeral service was held at Bethel-St. Andrew’s UnitCourtney Symons/Metroland ed Church in Fitzroy Harbour on Thursday, Jan. 4, 2018.

Long time Fitzroy Harbour resident Norma Dixon looks at her self- In memoriam donations to Bethel-St. Andrew’s United published memoir book which she put together in 2009. Norma died Church or to a charity of choice in memory of Norma on Dec. 28 at the age of 91. would be appreciated.

Mary marvels at how problems were solved in Depression years

Y

es siree, it’s here to stay,” Father said at breakfast, forking in his fried potatoes and salt pork. He had already completely banked the old log house with snow, and packed it with the shovel so that it would stay where he put it. With no foundation, we needed all the help we could get to keep the cold drafts of winter outside.

The barns were snug, kept warm by the livestock and with boards on hinges over the windows, so they could be opened for milking and feeding the livestock, and otherwise kept closed. Logs were rolled against the big doors when they closed as well.

Mother said the barns were warmer than the house, which Father said was pure nonsense.

The big watering trough, which sat in the middle of the barnyard, but close to the pump had been drained of its water, and was now full of snow.

There would be no watering of the livestock from there until the winter was over.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Being a Saturday, I was home from school, and Father knew how I loved to be with him when he was doing farm chores, and after breakfast, he told me to get my clothes on, and to dress warmly because we’d be outside for a spell. After I was dressed, Mother wrapped a scarf around my face, and I was covered from head to toe, with only a slit left open for my eyes.

Father went to the drive shed and got an axe, picking one carefully from the several leaning against the wall.

He nodded in the general direction of the west hill, and leading the way, he FOR SALE

FOR SALE

broke track down into the gully, and I carefully put one foot after another where he had first stepped. It was hard plodding ... the snow up to Father’s knees, and I silently wondered why we hadn’t taken the toboggan and simply got on and slid down to the creek. This is where I knew Father was heading. We got to the creek, which cut through one of our lower fields. In the summer, in most places, it was just a trickle and easy to get across to reach the back of our farm.

But in the winter the creek served as a watering hole for our livestock, and that was the reason Father and I were at its edge. Father scraped the snow off a spot touching the shoreline, and wielding the axe, he soon had a hole deep in the ice. I could see the water, barely moving, and the hole big enough that at least two cows could drink from it at the same time. I knew too the horses would take turns, one at a time when they went to the hole to drink, having seen them the winter before.

FOR SALE

FOR SALE

The hole in the creek, made to Father’s satisfaction, would replace the watering tank in the yard until it once again could be filled by the pump and not freeze up into a solid mass, no good for anything.

At first, every day, the livestock was taken down the hill at the back of the barns to the hole in the creek for their daily watering. Soon they needed no direction, knowing exactly what to do when let out. They knew what their mission was, and I would marvel how quickly they learned to go on their own, drink from the creek, and head back up to the barnyard. My brothers said the cows were the dumbest animals on the farm, but I thought they were pretty clever to learn so quickly where they could go on their own for water.

And again I would marvel at how problems were solved in those Depression years. Imagine — a watering hole replacing the water tank! And the stone boat put to use when it was impossible to use the wagon or the FOR SALE

FOR SALE

sleigh because of thick bush or deep snow. An ice house to keep our food from spoiling when there was no electricity; stores willing to trade chickens and eggs for needed supplies; clothes handed down from one sibling to another and Father putting the same patches on galoshes that were used on the inner tubes of the old Model T Ford to get another year out of our footwear. When I thought about it all, I worried less about the lean times called the Depression. I knew there would always be a way for us to survive, one day to the next. There might be no money for anything but the bare essentials, but we would live out those years through hard work, and putting to good use what we already had on the farm.

St. Isidore’s was once a one-room schoolhouse Carp Road BIA

SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The history of Catholic education in former March Township goes back more than 140 years.

The exact date of the construction of the first Catholic school in March Township is not known but township minute books refer to a grant given to a Roman Catholic school section as early as 1872.

It is known that there did exist, following the devastation caused by the Carleton County fire of 1870, two Catholic schools in the area, one in the vicinity of the presentday St. Isidore Catholic School and the other in the northwest part of the township, known as Separate School Section No. 3. This school also drew some pupils from the northern portion of the adjacent Torbolton Township to the north.

A story about the beginning of

S.S. No. 3 has more to do with its location rather than with its denominational status, although there is no doubt that the religion of the parties involved played a role in how the story played out.

Those who lived on the Third Line in March Township felt that the school should be built on that road. Those residents were mainly Protestant. However, residents on the first and second concession roads in March wanted to see the school built on the Second Line, believing such a site would be most central for all of the students involved.

Most of the residents of the first and second concessions were Roman Catholic. When S.S. No. 3 of March Township ended up being built on the Third Line, the Roman Catholics decided to open their own school. The Carroll family

permitted the school to be built on a part of its farm. With no money available to build the school, each family donated a pine log for the construction of the building. In addition, each family contributed to the salary and board of a teacher.

Jim Armstrong of Dunrobin built the desks and installed the blackboard.

Later this original log building was clad with wood. In 1905, the original school building was demolished and a slightly larger brick schoolhouse was erected.

In June 1965, the doors of this Catholic school, Separate School Section No. 3 of March Township, were shut forever as students began attending an enlarged St. Isidore Catholic School near St. Isidore Catholic Church.

St. Isidore School of today was originally built as a one-room

schoolhouse in 1956 on land donated by Joseph and Helena Scissons.

In 1965, the two separate school sections in March, namely S.S. No. 3 on the Second Line and S.S. No. 2 (St. Isidore) amalgamated, with S.S. No. 3 being closed and St. Isidore receiving a three classroom addition built by W.N. Construction. This was the first of several additions and improvements at St. Isidore.

In 1968, there was a major addition to the school including a gymnasium, a library and five classrooms. In 1996, changes were made to the kindergarten area, followed by renovations to the school’s administration section in 1997.

In 2000, a major addition and extensive alterations reshaped St. Isidore. Included were the administration area, the school library and eight new classrooms.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you have just about sold one of your ideas and now it’s just a matter of being patient. Soon the results will support your vision, and you can enjoy the fruits of your labors.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, looking within yourself can help you get a grasp on your situation and your future. Make the most of this introspection and use it as a catalyst for positive change.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a newfound devotion to exercise may improve your life in many different ways. If you have been vacillating on whether or not to embrace a new lifestyle, just do it.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Let other people’s perceptions roll off you like water off of a duck’s back, Virgo. To get the full picture, you need to immerse yourself and make up your own mind.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Take certain things with a grain of salt, Capricorn. Until you can flush out the facts, there is no point in worrying or passing judgement. Be patient and things will come to light.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 An unexpected situation has put you out of your element, Gemini. For now you can simply go with the flow and see how things work out. Don’t let this get the better of you.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, take a few steps back and think about whether or not a new approach is needed regarding a specific situation. Thinking logically instead of emotionally may help.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Find more time to explore an important relationship, Aquarius. Don’t overlook the importance of date night. Make time for this important person even if it requires sacrifices.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, dabbling in a few different projects may give you a unique perspective and the inspiration to take things in a new direction. Keep putting out those feelers.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, take a day to recharge your batteries if you feel your energy stores are running low. You may not need an extended vacation to do so, just a day to relax.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, do something unexpected this week and watch as those around you are inspired by your willingness to try new things.

Special treat on Thursdays when paper was in mailbox Letter: Liked reading about the community Editor: I thank everyone at the West Carleton Review for giving me the special treat every Thursday when I found your super newspaper in my mailbox.

I especially enjoyed your photographs with stories. For example: 1.

The curling photos that said “Hurry Hard!”, “Sweeping,” and “Here comes the rock.” 2. Huntley Curling Club opened in 1981. 3. Musical at Fitzroy Harbour Church. 4. Encouraging native pollinators.

The first things that I looked for when I opened the West Carleton Review were WHAT’S HAPPENING and by MICHAEL RUNTZ. The third thing I looked for was your OPINION like Most glorious time of

year that expressed things so well. It’s been interesting and helpful to read about community concerns like Constance Bay flood victims rebuilding.

Some of the information that I will also miss are Mary Cook’s memories, notice of CHURCH SERVICES, the Business Directory, Western Ottawa Community Resources Centre activities in West Carleton, Notice of Public Meetings and the reports of Karen McCrimmon, Jack MacLaren and Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

I’m sorry that the results of your hard work will not be utilized. I sure will miss you.
