Long-time GM of Carp Fair retiring at end of year ‘A big pair of shoes to fill’: past-president Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Joyce Trafford, the longtime general manager of the Carp Fair, will be retiring at the end of this year.

Arguably one of the most well-known people in West Carleton, Trafford said it’s with “mixed feelings” that she’s decided this year’s fair, her 27th as general manager of the Carp Agricultural Society, will be her last.

JOHN FAIRWEATHER

Joyce Trafford announced she will retire as general manager of the Carp Fair at the end of this year.

“It’s just been quite a ride,” she said in a phone interview on Feb. 3. “It’s exciting every year. I think of

every year, that fair is just as important to me as my very first fair.”

Turning 60 this year and with one granddaughter already, another daughter just-married, and a wedding for her son this summer, Trafford said it was time to consider letting someone else manage the helm.

“It’s maybe time to let new people, fresher blood take over,” she said.

“It’s been a great go for sure. When I started, my kids were young and, of course, the fair wasn’t what it is now. As my kids grew, the fair grew and it has definitely been a great job for me.”

Family Fun Day to raise funds for Kinburn family Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Family Day is taking on a new meaning for the Han-

na family of Kinburn.

Kathleen Hanna, a 21-year-old with Cystic fibrosis, is in need of a double-lung transplant and

is waiting to get the word from Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital that she’s been added to the transplant list.

Once the family is notified they’ll have to move from Kinburn nearer to the hospital so they can be there quickly once lungs

have been identified for Hanna.

A benefit is being held on Family Day (Monday, Feb. 15) at the Kinburn Community Centre to raise funds for the family, to help cover the costs related to

Rent for a two-bedroom apartment near the hospital is around $2,500 a month, said Hanna’s aunt Anne Colterman.

Fundraiser to help ease financial pressure Continued from page 1

Following the surgery, the family has to stay near the hospital for two months for followup appointments and to ensure there’s no rejection of the new lungs.

The Family Fun Day fundraiser aims to take some of the financial pressure off the family and a number of people and local organizations have stepped forward to help.

“So many people are donating so many things; people are really, really amazing,” said Colterman. The grounds, food and live entertainment are all donated.

The day begins at 9 a.m. with a Sno-Pitch tournament.

Teams or individuals can register by emailing teamhannafundraiser@gmail.com.

The cost is $20 per player and includes a meal (either lunch or dinner). Register by noon on Feb. 14 to take part.

Family skating takes place from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. This is free, but donations are encouraged.

A euchre tournament will begin at 11 a.m. with a cost of

$10 per person.

The canteen will serve chili, hot dogs, soup, snacks and drinks beginning at 11 a.m.

A spaghetti dinner (with meat or vegetarian sauce) runs from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. (or until it runs out).

Following dinner, people can participate in a Zumba class at 7:30 p.m. for $5, or a pick-up hockey game on the outdoor rink.

The Ottawa police will have a finger-print booth, a children’s activity area will be set up, and custom t-shirts will be available for purchase.

Attendees can also sign up to become organ donors at the event.

“It’s looking like a great day,” said Colterman.

Aside from the Family Day fundraiser, the Cheshire Cat Pub has an online auction going and planned to hold an event on Feb. 8 with profits going to the family; a fundraising event will be held at Irish Hills on Feb. 22; and if the snowmobile trails re-opened, the West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association said it would donate proceeds from its poker

run breakfast to the family should it be rescheduled (the original date of the poker run was cancelled due to poor trail conditions).

“People are amazing,” said Colterman. “It’s unbelievable.”

GREAT HOPES

An interview with Hanna was postponed after she was admitted to hospital for breathing difficulties.

Her brother Clayton, 20, also has Cystic fibrosis, while sister Emily, 16, does not have CF. “The course of the disease for the two of them has been different,” said Colterman.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects children and young adults for which there is currently no cure. It mainly affects the digestive system and the lungs.

“The last year, I couldn’t even tell you how many hospitalizations Kathleen had,” said Colterman. “When you’ve been through as many antibiotics as she has, they’re almost at the end of their medical rope.”

Which is why the double-

“It will just change everything because otherwise she’s healthy,” said Colterman.

Despite the hospitalizations, Kathleen is taking medical transcriptionist courses at Algonquin College.

“She’s got a really amazing strength,” said Colterman.

“She’s got great hopes for the future.”

‘We’re definitely going to miss her’: president Continued from page 1

Tracey Zoobkoff, the fair board’s 2016 president of homecraft, has known Trafford for more than a decade and said she will be missed.

“It takes a special person to do that for 27 years. She’s very organized, very dedicated to her job. She knows everybody. When she leaves it’ll be a great loss because she’s the go-to person, she’s a wealth of knowledge,” said Zoobkoff.

“We’re definitely going to miss her. We completely understand that’s a long time to be in one job – she wants to come to the fair with her grandchildren and enjoy it.”

Calls for comment from President of Agriculture Ron Bidgood were not returned.

Trafford was 33 when she was hired as the general manager, having worked 16 years for Ayrshire Canada before it moved offices to Montreal.

Bruce Baird, then-president of the fair board, contacted her to tell her to apply for the position.

“With my agricultural background he said I should apply for it,” said Trafford. “At the time when I applied, it was a two-and-a-half days a week job. I had a 3-, 6-, and a 9-year-old at home. That sounded like the perfect job.”

Baird remembers putting out the call for a GM. The fair board had always had a secretary and treasurer, but a day-to-day manager was needed.

“At the time the fair was much smaller than it is today, but we could see that it was going to grow. We as volunteers, being members of the fair board, were putting a lot of hours in there,” he said, adding the volunteers often had to juggle other responsibilities at the same time.

“We were getting to a point where we needed somebody to be there to handle the day-to-day decisions and organize and prepare for the fair.”

Trafford’s “good knowledge of agriculture” made her an ideal candidate, he said.

When asked to reflect on Trafford’s work over the years, Baird said it’s always been “excellent.”

“She has helped make it grow to what it is today. She’s been dedicated and put her whole heart into it. It’s going to be a big pair of shoes to fill.” *** A big pair of shoes indeed.

When Trafford began in her role, one of her first steps was to reach out to the other fair boards in the area. The result was more sharing of resources, of ideas, and a general air of a much larger fair family.

“It has certainly worked well. As fairs have become greater friends, we all have grown over the last 25 years

for sure,” said Trafford. “We look out for each other. We also lean on each other for advice. Anything we can help each other with we’re willing to do.

“It is definitely a fair family.”

The grounds have also undergone changes – both big and small – helping the fair grow to its current fourday format and encouraging other events to be held on the fairgrounds.

When Trafford began her job, the light and heavy horses showed in the same ring, a ring that was “just a wooden rail and wooden posts” she said. Over time, it was widened and a new metal fence was erected to show only heavy horses.

A light horse ring was built near the curling club. A new show barn was constructed near the arena on the old Storybook Farm grounds, which was moved to its current location.

Instead of the old open stalls at the back of the midway – a new leanto came to life to house more horses.

“We just continually want to improve to make exhibitors want to come to our fair,” said Trafford.

One of her most vivid memories comes from the 150th Carp Fair, celebrated in 2013.

“Having 25 six-horse hitches in the ring at one time – that’s amazing. I can remember if you had 12 six-horse hitches in the ring you were doing something pretty good,” she said. Then to beat that record the following year – with 26 six-horse hitches – was astounding.

“To be able to draw those exhibitors, to have the facilities that we have to house these horses while they’re here showing ... As far as great times, great memories, the 150th fair definitely sticks out. That was a celebration of many, many past-presidents’ years of dedication to the fair, as well as the board.”

And it’s not just the past fairs she has helped with, but the myriad other events that take place on the lands.

“People think of the Carp Fair as just being the fairgrounds, but just so much goes on at the fairgrounds,” she said. “You have to manage and make sure that every event that takes place on the fairgrounds is the best possible.”

Seeing the Carp Farmers’ Market grow from its inception in 1990 was a high point on her list.

“The farmers’ market started after I started here; I’ve seen it flourish too,” she said. “As the fair has flourished the farmers’ market has flourished too.”

And she couldn’t forget when the fair switched midways in 1993.

“It was a big change, an exciting time, a time when you were also afraid,” she said. Making the switch to Robertson Amusements continued to propel the “Best Little Fair in

Canada” to where it is now.

“Some of the things in the life of the fair that I think have made such a big difference, that would definitely be one of them,” Trafford said.

“They had newer rides, the midway people themselves were much more professional.”

One of her most vivid memories was the office fire on Jan. 28, 2012.

Receiving the phone call that the building was on fire was her “worst nightmare.”

“When you get the phone call and you really don’t know what’s going to be left when you get there …” she said, trailing off.

The room above her office was heated with wall heaters. One overheated, sending out a spark that ignited. She credited the quick call to emergency services by two snowclearing operators.

“There was a little dusting of snow that night; it happened there were two guys cleaning laneways and they saw the fire just starting. They called it in,” she said.

“The office, how much the firemen were able to save, there were really no records lost. That was probably the most relief you got.”

The upstairs and downstairs were gutted, redesigned and redone – it turned out to be, perhaps not a blessing, but good timing for a remodel.

“It’s kind of funny thinking back now what I had to do very, very quickly,” said Trafford. “I knew how, if we were starting with a new grid in the office, what I needed in order for it to work properly at fair time. It was the right time to change things up.” *** Now is also the right time to change things up.

Trafford said making the decision to retire at the end of the year comes with mixed-feelings; a sense of sadness but also an excitement for the possibilities ahead.

“Over the years, working with so many different people, I often said that if I had a job in Ottawa I never would have known the people I got to meet and make friends with out here,” said Trafford, choking up a little with emotion. “I’m going to enjoy it, this (final year) is definitely the year to enjoy everything.”

And once she retires, “Maybe spending more time at the cottage. I have a granddaughter – they always need volunteers in the school. But I don’t know. I think it will take a little while to sink in and enjoy retirement and see where it takes me from there.”

The Carp Fair posted a job opening for a new general manager on Feb. 1 with applications accepted until Feb. 22.

Her advice for the person who takes over is to embrace the commu-

“It’s a lot of work but there’s a lot of pleasure with it also. You have to enjoy it but you have to enjoy people.

That’s the number one thing – the enjoyment of all the people,” said Trafford.

“I think we have upped the ante, it’s something we should be proud of and continue to promote our agriculture,” she said. “I think that’s where agricultural fairs in the area have blossomed – we have put it out there that we have something people want.”

Don’t we all want to have that “quick” fix? Sure we do!

Nobody in our day and age has patience anymore, the kind of patience that our ancestors had decades ago.We are living in such a fast passed society, that life is rushing by, our senses are numbed and our consciousness tweaked by so many things.The same it is with our well being and our health.We take “things” without knowing if we actually need them.At least our mind is at peace “I’ve done something!” We keep ourselves busy, of course often not by choice, but oh do I hate the “glorification of being busy”. If you’re not busy you feel less, less of a person, less of a success in one way or another, or people view you as “being less” and a failure or unsuccessful.

But wouldn’t it be nice if we are working on something “internally” and our surroundings, our family and friends would actually notice without being told? And kick that judgement!

So of course as it relates to our own health and well being, many of us make choices to take this drug, pill or that herbal supplememt as a quick fix, often even without the insight of what we are actually doing or trying to accomplish. Save your money! Therefore, wouldn’t it be awesome to take something, something natural, effective and safe and actually knowing the result and wow yourself and the people around you?

You know, I have too many examples to share, so lets inspire you to see the value in our Heilkunst treatment and Live Blood Analysis with a few of them: A lady came to me with severe pain right from the dentist after a tooth extraction, took my remedy and her pain vanished within minutes. Another lady took remedies for her anger and PMS and her husbands friend ask her “Could I borrow them for my wife?”. A dad coming home from work knows whenever his teenage son had forgotten to take his remedies that day, just because of his “out of control acting” and gently reminds him.

An injured toddler screeming out of pain having some bleeding, stops perplex within seconds after taking the remedy and looks at his mom to say:“Mom, why am I in your arms? Can I go and play again?”.These are the kind of“quick” fixes…those obviously obvious signs, you’ll only ever experience once you’ll try our Heilkunst treatment for yourself and your family. It’s amazing, sometimes it bears the questions: “Where did it go? It just vanishes!”

Experience it yourself! You are worth it!

news

About 50 of the over 600 members of the Constance and Buckhams Bay Community Association (CBBCA) turned out for the Annual General Meeting Sunday afternoon at the community centre.

The presentation by longtime president Ian Glen reviewed an exciting year in which a new wing of the centre was finished and opened and many new programs were started, including the ‘All-in’ fitness programs run during the day, arts classes, Tai chi and some health services.

The financial report presented by (also long-time board member) Len Russell showed that the centre had accumulated some funds for refurbishing the older part of the building.

However, Russell emphasized that the coming year may show a small loss as some of the grants received to commence programs are finished, and more funds are needed to operate the larger facility and to re-commission a functional kitchen, the absence of which was limiting the ability of the association to rent out the main halls for wedding receptions and other revenue sources.

EDITORIAL

Environment laws blatantly rigged

A

developer in north Kanata wants to develop land; no surprise there.

What’s surprising is the process, because it turns out the developer – KNL Developments Inc. – can destroy the habitat of protected species, and even kill any of that species present, as long as the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is satisfied that KNL will somehow provide a final outcome that benefits the protected species.

That could mean other land is set aside for the rare Blanding’s turtles, and that butternut tree seeds are collected and spread elsewhere.

If approved, KNL will bulldoze the land, cut down trees and blast into the bedrock for new pipes and wires.

It’s hard to see how running over protected turtles with bulldozers or chopping down rare trees could end up benefiting said flat turtles and dead trees, but that’s how the system works.

Those are the laws our elected representatives at Queen’s Park have enacted on our behalf.

We are told we should be satisfied.

The public has a chance to provide comments,

but bizarrely does not get to know what KNL will do in return for killing protected species.

The developer need only provide ideas of what it might do.

In a sick version of Let’s Make a Deal, the contestants (the public) can ask to keep what they have (rare turtles, trees etc.) or choose Door Number 1, all without any certainty of what they’re trading for.

On the game show someone wins a car or gets a gag gift. What Natural Resources and Forestry offers is the status quo or possibly dead stuff and some kind of mitigation elsewhere.

No sane person could favour the latter option.

And no one at all could make an informed decision without all the facts.

The public is being asked to comment, but those comments are clearly not valued, not even worth the paper they’re printed on.

The process is flawed.

The system doesn’t work.

It’s up to our elected representatives to fix it or we can all play Let’s Make a Change when the next election is called.

here are fresh developments in the ongoing saga of the Memorial to the Victims of Communism.

The new government, having determined that the memorial should be different from that originally imagined and on a different site, has now asked Canadians for their thoughts on the matter. This takes the form of a brief questionnaire on the Department of Canadian Heritage website.

The government should know by now that nothing good can come of asking the people what they think, at least not on the Internet. It has only to think of John Scott, or Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf.

We all know about Scott, the intended victim of online pranksters who wanted to make a mockery of

Scott, a journeyman enforcer who spent most of his time on the bench, was selected, after some Internet goading, as an all-star by the fans, causing considerable embarrassment and some questionable maneuvers by league officials.

NHL bureaucracy was not averted.

The practice of using the Internet to mock and bully goes way back. Its first notable appearance was in 1998, when the web was new and people were discovering creative and not-so-constructive ways of using it. That was when People magazine decided to put its 50 Most Beautiful People poll online.

It was not a smart decision, although few realized it until it was too late. The winner by a landslide of People magazine’s Most Beautiful People award was Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf, a character on Howard Stern’s controversial television program and the subject of a mischievous write-in campaign.

A professional wrestler finished second. Leonardo DiCaprio was third.Pranksters are out there and the Internet is a powerful weapon for them. Does Canadian Heritage know this? Canadian Heritage’s questionnaire is quite simple, admirably short and asks some good

questions. Responders are asked to choose among a list of objectives.

They are asked what they think the “visitor experience” should be.

They are asked about the scale of the memorial. And they are given an open-ended opportunity to enter any other thoughts they might have about the design.

Here is where disaster lurks.

Here’s where the goofy ideas come in, the politically motivated and the just plain silly. Get ready for it.

And in a way it would serve the government right. The memorial, whatever form it takes, will be art and you don’t create art by public opinion survey.

Picasso didn’t survey his audience before putting paint to canvas.

Michelangelo didn’t ask anybody what David should look like. The Group of Seven didn’t ask the public whether they should be Seven or perhaps Eight.

It is easy to see the government’s motivation and, in a way, applaud

This will be small consolation for the present government, however, when it finds itself facing an urgent popular demand for a memorial to the victims of John Scott.

Disbanding of Carp landfill committee shortsighted To the Editor: This decision to cancel the CLCLC final meeting Jan. 12 is a regretful decision.

Because we did not meet, we lost the opportunity to vote on several items.

Communications from CLCLC must be voted before being sent with the designation ‘from CLCLC’.

Now, individuals must send their communiques only on their own behalf, without the weight of CLCLC behind it.

We have two or more communiques hanging out there unvoted: • my own demands to have WM take over CLCLC.ca and post in its entirety as an obvious link on WM WCEC website homepage, including last CLCLC meeting’s Minutes from October; • comments on the site history completed by a CLCLC member; • final comments from any CLCLC member.

Community members have no knowledge of whom to contact nor a simple link directly to Project Liaison Committee, which leaves both community members and PLC without ability

to directly ‘liaise’ as in the PLC committee’s title.

We have no understanding that we will be heard nor any understanding that our needs will be met, here in the most-affected community.

CLCLC committee history and perspective, held by every member of CLCLC, are now dispersed.

Last night was not about certificates and thanks, it was about ensuring our dedicated struggles and efforts and achieved concessions from city and Waste Management are not lost.

Thank you, chair, for your efforts to mind the time and ensure each voice is heard.

Thank you, each and every secretary, for the time and effort to keep communications flowing and openly accessible.

Thank you, every CLCLC member, for your consistent effort and your dedications to looking after our various communities that we each brought to the CLCLC table.

Thank you, Waste Management, for meeting our demands, and then some.

Thank you, city councillors Eli El-Chantiry and Shad Qadri and their reps, for attending and participat-

ing.

My plea is to stop using the most-affected community as a political vehicle to take to the media to get your own way in the political battle. We, of the most-affected community, and our property values, have been threatened each time your overstated historical claims are used to get a concession from WM. Enough already.

You and your public discourse are the reason for any potential property value degradation when you overstate your remarks born in a past, from complaints Waste Management has already rectified.

My second plea is stop taking community compensation monies and applying it outside the mostaffected community. We are the reason that this compensation is handed out, to compensate us for potential loss, and to compensate us for having this business in our neighbourhood.

The definition of most affected community (understood from CLCLC observation of location and source of complaints and comments) is property owners on properties bounded

The West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association has postponed its annual poker run, which was slated to take place this weekend, Feb. 13.

With fluctuating weather and a lack of snow on the ground, the trails remained closed throughout West Carleton and beyond.

“Unfortunately Mother Nature is punishing us,” said Scott Hamilton, president and event co-ordinator for the WCSTA. “The trails are all closed (because of) very unsafe conditions.”

The hope is to hold the event later this month or early next month, so long as the snow flies and the cold weather continues.

“We need a good week of solid cold and 20 centimetres of snow to get the trails open again,” said Hamilton.

District one, of which West Carleton is a part, is the largest trail district in Ontar-

Snowmobilers take part in last year’s WCSTA poker run. This year’s event has been postponed due to closed trails. io. Last week, all of district one had been shut down.

“It’s been a bad year,” said Hamilton. “The trails were open for maybe a week, week and a half. Then we had to close them.”

He said he understands the frustration for snowmobilers just waiting to hop on their sleds, but cautions against going out too soon.

“The weather is what the weather is, we can’t open (the trails) if it’s unsafe. If there’s a change we’ll be the first people getting out there get-

ting it ready,” he said. “I feel for people who cant get out – I haven’t either.”

The good and bad years tend to even out the association’s funds. The past two years’ snow falls saw grooming costs increase to the point the WCSTA had to take money out of a line of credit to continue maintenance.

“There’s good years and bad years,” said Hamilton.

Funds from trail passes cover start-up costs and continued trail maintenance.

With less grooming this

year, if there’s money left over by the end of the season it will go back into the WCSTA for next year, said Hamilton. Refunds are not issued for trail passes.

“The previous two years there was tons of snow, the grooming costs were much more than what we’d seen before,” he said. “It evens out over different years.”

That doesn’t make it easy on those eager to get out on the trails, he added, including the trail volunteers.

“We’re all volunteers; we spend 80-100 hours a year, some even more, getting things ready. And we all buy our passes and we haven’t been out either.”

Although the re-opening of the trails is uncertain, the WCSTA is looking forward to hosting a landowners’ appreciation dinner at the end of the season (date to be determined) to thank those who allow the snowmobile trails to cross their property.

“In Ontario, 66 per cent of trails are on private land – without them we don’t have a trail system,” said Hamilton.

“We’re going to have landowner dinner to thank all the landowners for letting us use their land.”

Many business groups across Ontario, including the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian Manufactures and Exporters and the Canadian Federation of Independent Business have warned the government about the dangers of implementing the ORPP, he added.

Farmwife learning how to look after Leti The Farmer and I had the opportunity to babysit our granddaughter Leti for the first time. It was the busiest five hours in our recent history.

Anastasia and Andrew arrived an hour early to settle Leti in for her visit.

Annie fed and changed her baby before she left, and left two bottles of mama’s milk behind.

Theoretically that is more than enough for a four- to five-hour stay.

Then she decided to leave us a can of formula “just in case Leti is doing her nervous eating.” I thought that was funny – a baby getting nervous and snacking to settle herself. But Mama was right.

Leti slept in her bassinette for the first hour. When she began to fuss, I picked her up, checked her diaper and tried dancing and jiggling her around the room.

Then I remembered that, like her mother before her, Leti does not often appreciate being danced or jiggled. She likes to be held still.

DIANA FISHER

Accidental Farmwife She’s not a candidate for one of those vibrating baby chairs and she doesn’t need to be rocked to sleep. That movement seems to make her nauseous.

Her mother was the same. The first time I went out to dinner and left Anastasia with a sitter, when she was about two months old, I forgot to tell her caregiver how to settle her.

I was just so excited to be getting out of the house that I made sure she had enough milk and knew where the diapers were and I left.

Margaret was the kindly old grandma from next door – she had run a home daycare and looked after her own grandchildren for so many years that I felt

quite confident she would be able to handle all the troubleshooting, and problem-solving on her own.

These were the days before cell phones. But we had left the phone number of the restaurant where we were heading, so Margaret could find us in an emergency.

I was just getting used to being out on the town without a baby strapped to me when the server approached our table, phone in hand.

Margaret actually sounded quite calm, which was remarkable given that there was the obvious sound of a furious baby screaming in the background.

It wasn’t a hungry or scared or pained cry. It was Annie’s angry cry.

“I’m so sorry to bother you. I have tried everything and I cannot get this child to stop yelling and go to sleep. I know she must be exhausted. I tried rocking her, walking her, putting her in the swing and dancing her around the room. Do you have any hints?”

“Yes, sorry. I should have told

you. Just put her on her face in her crib and walk out of the room. Make sure the monitor is on, and close the door behind you.”

“Really? Wait. I’ll try it while you are still on the phone, if you don’t mind.”

I heard the sound of the screaming growing more distant on the other end of the line. I pictured the two going into the nursery, Annie being placed in the bed on her stomach, her toys tucked in around her … then I heard the door softly closing.

The crying abruptly stopped.

“Well. That worked. I guess she just likes to be left alone! Enjoy the rest of your evening.” And she hung up the phone.

Leti opened her eyes and looked, startled, at my face. The same colouring as her mother, and likely a similar voice … but not the mama. I snapped a photo of her obviously confused expression.

Then the nerves must have started because she demanded a

bottle. And within half an hour of finishing that one, another.

I changed her diaper after each feeding and when she asked for the third bottle, I realized we had to start on the formula.

“Stop feeding that kid, will ya?” the Farmer commented.

“You’re going to make her sick!”

I explained about the nervous eating and grandpa had to admit, it seemed to be the only thing that settled her. About 20 ml into the formula, Leti passed out.

The excitement mixed with the heaviness of the milk to put her to sleep. She was blissfully dreaming of her mother when the real one arrived to bundle her up and take her home.

Grandma’s first babysitting event went well, and we got to know each other a little better.

Lesson learned: always have plenty of snacks on hand.

A man from Sand Point just upstream from Arnprior had rescued the small deer after it was stranded threequarters of the way out on the ice on Feb. 2.

The meanest, nastiest creature of all

Recently I’ve received a number of reports concerning dead deer.

“Terrible,” “disgusting,” and “gruesome” were words used to describe the scenes.

Coyotes or wolves had been responsible for the kills.

Another story involved an eviscerated Porcupine. A “gory scene” was reported.

The details provided made it easy to resolve that a Fisher was responsible. “Those are evil creatures” the person retorted.

Which got me to thinking: what is more nasty or cruel: a Fisher or a coyote/wolf? Well, let’s first look at the reasons those animals kill.

Eastern Coyotes, wolves (Gray and Eastern), and Fishers kill to eat, as do all predators. They are carnivores, not herbivores, and out of necessity kill other living creatures.

But do they do so with evil intent? No, which isn’t the case for a few of our own, such as Colonel Russell Williams.

Predators work hard for their meals. They must find a

quarry, chase it and then dispatch it using only teeth and/ or claws.

Many times the prey escapes unscathed. Studies have revealed that wolves are successful in only 10 per cent of their chases. And when they succeed, it is often sick or old animals that are taken, being easier to catch.

Plus there is danger: hooves of deer or moose sometimes deal fatal blows. Meals don’t come easy if you are a predator, and starvation always looms just beyond the hori-

Eagles such as this young Bald Eagle, are commonly seen gleaning a meal from a coyote-killed deer. zon.

When a carnivore finally makes a kill, it feasts. But myriad other animals also benefit by stealing precious mouthfuls of meat or gleaning scraps after the hosts leave.

The long list of beneficiaries includes ravens, crows, eagles, jays, chickadees, foxes, Fishers, Martens and Ermines (to name but a few).

But like most of the others, Fishers also kill. But are Fish-

ers “evil” or “nasty?” Certainly not!

Fishers, like all predatory animals, are programmed to kill when the opportunity arises, and they cannot afford to prolong the death of their prey for they must conserve energy and reduce their chances of being injured.

However, our own species has been known to torture and mutilate, and not only in times of war.

Recently I came across a group of hunters on Amherst Island. They had released dogs equipped with radio transmitters, and they maintained cellphone contact with other hunters on adjacent roads. They were hunting coyotes by having dogs chase them until the animals were exhausted and forced to go to a road where they would be easily shot.

Was this done to attain food? No. The goal of the “hunt” was just to kill a predatory animal.

It is appalling that this “sport” is sanctioned by our provincial government.

Start Packing...You’re Moving!

And things will only get worse for predatory animals.

Proposed changes to current laws will create a yearlong open season on coyotes, and make killing of wolves less regulated. It’s as if we’ve slipped back in time, when lawlessness and guns ruled the land. Back then large carnivores were despised and persecuted; it seems two centuries later we’ve come full circle.

We needn’t look hard or far to find the meanest and nastiest creature of all. A mirror will do quite nicely.

ORWL KIDS EVENT

If conditions permit, the Ottawa Region Walleye League (ORWL) will hold its seventh annual Kids’ Ice Fishing Event Feb. 13. The gathering aims to introduce young members of the community to the joys of ice fishing while teaching proper fish conservation and laws, together with a deeper appreciation of natural resources. It is open to all youth and their parents, as all children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The event is held on the Constance Lake Lodge side of the lake and will run from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There will be a hot dog and hot chocolate lunch break at noon, followed by grab bags and photographs.

ORWL members will drill holes and provide fishing equipment and bait, although everyone is welcome to bring their own ice fishing gear to free up the league’s 50 rods for kids who don’t normally have the opportunity to ice-fish.

Parking is available behind Constance Lake Lodge for $5. Organizers note vehicles parked on the side of the road may be ticketed. And they don’t recommend driving on the ice, especially this year.

HAMLYN INVITATIONAL

Constance Lake is also the location for the seventh annual Hamlyn Invitational Ice Fishing Tournament Feb. 13.

The tournament, which will run 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is based at 175 Constance Lake Rd. Anglers battle for the coveted Hamlyn Cup. The registration fee is $10 per adult and $5 a child 15 and under. Each participant gets a drilled hole, two hot dogs and hot chocolate and is eligible for prizes.

There will be a heated shelter on site. In the spirit of conservation, the ice fishing derby is strictly catch-and-release promoting a sustainable fishery for years to come.

More details including advice on what to bring is available on the website www.ontariofamilyfishing. com/events.

ARNPRIOR YOUTH DERBY

The Arnprior Fish and Game Club’s, youth ice fishing derby which is held in partnership with the Arnprior Fire Department, will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Feb. 20 on Goodwin’s Bay if the ice is safe enough.

The area can be accessed at 421 McLean Ave. There is no cost to participate in the event and all holes, bait and tackle will be provided. There will be instruction, assistance and plenty of prizes for the young anglers.

For more information, contact James Kucharik at arnpriorfishandgameclub@gmail.com or call 613-623-1895.

with the licence-free fishing weekend have been put on hold. The West Carleton Fish and Game Club’s annual kids ice fishing derby normally occurs on the Family Day weekend, but this year its fate is uncertain. The Arnprior Fish and Game Club’s annual youth ice fishing derby has been delayed until Feb. 20.

However, organizers of two ice fishing events on Constance Lake Saturday, Feb. 13 are still hopeful they can proceed.

Several others have already been cancelled so province-wide family fishing derbies, in which all Canadians can participate without a licence, could be few and far between. The free-fishing, which coincides with Ontario’s Family Day weekend, runs this Saturday through Monday but as of press time the ice was deemed safe enough for ice fishing in many locales.

During all other time periods, Canadian residents between the ages of 18 and 64 years must buy a valid fishing license to legally fish in Ontario.

The two free-fishing events (the summer period will run July 2-10) encourages people to try the sport of fishing.

Participants fishing without a license must fish under the Conservation fish-

ing license limits, which are set out in the Ontario Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary. With the exception of the licensing requirement, Ontario fishing regulations, fees and limits continue to apply during license-free days.

Exploring the wonders of Purdon Conservation Area Cheryl Morris

Mississippi Valley Naturalists

On Thursday, Feb.18, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) will host the fifth presentation of the season in its series ‘Naturally Special Places’.

Guest speaker Shannon Gutoskie will give a presentation entitled ‘Purdon: Unique Wonder of the Natural World’ in Almonte United Church at 7:30 p.m.

Gutoskie is the community relations co-ordinator for the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) and has many years of media and communication experience in the public and nonprofit sectors.

Being a newcomer to the Mississippi Valley, she has enjoyed exploring all that the area has to offer. In her presentation on Feb. 18, she will take her audience on a journey into a fascinating world found within the local area that can only be described as “naturally special,” the Purdon Conservation Area.

It is one of the ‘Seven Wonders of Lanark Coun-

ty’ and is home to the largest colony of Showy Lady’s Slipper (Cypripedium reginae) in Canada.

This rare plant is a member of the orchid family. It is native to North America and is restricted to the northeast region of the U.S. and the southeast regions of Canada.

The beautiful orchid has vanished from much of its historical range due to threats such as habitat loss, wetland drainage and overzealous horticultural collectors. It grows in wetlands such as “fens” and also open wooded swamps.

The main area within the Purdon wetland is classified as a fen, which is defined as: “A peatland characterized by surface layers of poorlyto-moderately composted peat, with often well-decomposed peat near the base.”

The Showy Lady’s Slipper grows mainly in mossy hummocks within this fen.

What started out as a small cluster of native orchids in the 1930s when it was discovered by Joe Purdon has grown into a colony of more than 16,000 blooms.

Stay clear, stay safe: OPG If you’re heading outdoors this Family Day Weekend, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) remind you to stay clear of its hydro stations and dams.

“Don’t find yourself on thin ice,” says Mike Martelli, OPG’s president, of renewable generation and power marketing. “Ice and waterways near our generating stations and dams can be particularly dangerous. These areas are not safe for recreational use.”

OPG’s hydropower portfolio consists of 65 generating stations and 240 dams. In the areas surrounding the stations, changing water levels and flowing water causes the ice to be thin and weak, meaning it is not safe for recreational use.

Signs and barriers describe dangerous areas that must be avoided.

“When heading out for winter activities, remember to make safety a priority and respect the signs and barriers that have been put in place for your protection,” advises Martelli.

“Stay clear, stay safe is our message.”

To learn more about winter ice and water safety, visit opg.com/watersafety.

After purchasing the property in 1984 with the help of the Nature Conservancy of Canada, MVCA pledged to preserve the site for public enrichment. The conservation authority cares for the colony by following a management plan that was created by Ted Mosquin, a well-known ecologist, who has volunteered his expertise since the mid-1980s.

The active management of the site consists of some tree clearing to allow more light to the fen, water level management through the beaver pond (also known as Purdon Lake), and hand pollination. The MVCA offers an Adopt-An-Orchid Program to support the upkeep of this unique and vital conservation area.

From late spring until early autumn, the Purdon Conservation Area is open daily from dawn until dusk for the nourishment of body, mind, and spirit.

Spanning a three-week period of time in June, visitors can stroll along an accessible boardwalk for a close-up view of the orchids. Families can enjoy self-guided hikes

In partnership with

Mosquito vote proceeded by crash course in bug-killing bacterium Company with mosquito solution to use a second pesticide Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Kanata North residents had several opportunities to learn about a mosquito-killing pesticide ahead of a vote that could see it used across the ward and in some of the city’s sensitive wetlands.

Public meetings were held on Jan. 28, Feb. 1 and Feb. 6 at All Saints Catholic High School, St. John’s Anglican Church and the Mlacek Centre.

The meetings were an opportunity for Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, city planner and ecologist Nick Stow and sales manager for the company who is contracted to apply the pesticide, Gregory Roy, to explain how a bacteria called Bti works, how its applied and to take questions from the public.

GDG Environment won the contract to apply the bacterial pesticide known as Bacillus thuringiensis isrealensis or Bti in a nuisance mosquito program – the first of its kind in the city.

Applied in dozens of other communities including Winnipeg and as nearby as Gatineau, the bacteria has been in use for more than 30 years. It affects only the larva of certain kinds of mosquitos and black flies, said Roy. The bacteria works by producing microscopic crystals that bug larva then ingest. However, the crystals can only be dissolved by the alkaline environment in black fly or mosquito larva digestive systems. It then becomes a toxic protein that destroys the insect’s stomach, reads a Health Canada explanation of the bacteria.

According to research, it does not affect humans, plants or animals, said Roy and Stow.

Stow had originally been against the idea of using Bti, fearing that it could have a negative affect on the chironomid population (also known as nonbiting midg-

es) in the wetlands where it would be applied. However, after further research, Stow said any affect on those insects is extremely unlikely as it would require a much higher dosage of the bacteria than is needed for mosquitos.

Stow then said he approved of the proposed four-year program, provided studies were done to determine the affect of the program during its first three years.

The program, if it receives a 50 per cent yes vote from Kanata North residents and city council approves it, will have GDG field technicians test wetlands and other stillwater areas to find where and what kind of mosquitos are in the ward, as well as up to two kilometres north, east and west of the ward.

Once the mosquito larvae are located, Bti will be applied in those areas, sprayed by field technicians or from the air using helicopters or planes.

The process and its affect will be monitored, with more spraying taking place as needed. Roy said GDG guarantees at least an 80 per cent reduction in mosquitos for nearly the entire ward.

SECOND PESTICIDE

However, during the first public meeting, Roy did not mention that there would be a second pesticide being used in Kanata North.

One reference to it was made on a slide, referring to it as Bs. When asked if Bs was another pesticide, he confirmed that Bacillus sphaericus would be used to deal with cattail marsh mosquitos, as Bti cannot reach their larvae.

In a subsequent interview with GDG scientific advisor Mark Ardis, he explained that Bs would be used for about three per cent of the nuisance mosquito program, while Bti would encompass the rest.

Ardis explained that Bs differs from Bti in that it affects fewer kinds of mosquitos, it lasts longer in the environment (12 to 20 days rather than 30-48 hours) and mosquitos can develop a resistance to it, whereas they have not been shown to with Bti. Asked why information about Bs was not included in GDG’s first public presentation, Ardis said they cut out that information due to time constraints, but added that more information on Bs would be included in meetings after the Jan. 28 meeting.

THE VOTE

More than 11,000 ballots have been mailed to residents of Kanata North, said Wilkinson. The ballots were not mailed to residents of high-rises, as they are affected less by the mosquito problem, she said.

The cost of the program is about $35 per household per year, which, in the event of a yes vote, all residential landowners in the ward must pay regardless of whether they voted or if they voted yes.

That includes seven dollars for the research program, and the rest for spraying Bti and Bs. In total, the spraying costs about $300,000 a year, while the study costs $78,300 per year.

Though Wilkinson pointed out that property values could go up due to the program, she said no developers who own land in the ward would be obliged to pay for the program, though she said she encouraged them to do so if they felt so inclined.

Landowners can, however, say that they don’t want Bti or Bs applied on their land, but they would still have to pay for the program.

About 30 residents attended the Jan. 28 public meeting, many of which voiced support and opposition for the program.

One resident said the vote was the equivalent of a decision between “us or the environment,” while another said they wanted a reduction

of more than 80 per cent of mosquitos.

Another resident, one of the proponents of the Kanata Lakes area petition that started the push for a nuisance mosquito program, re-iterated how bad the situation was, saying hundreds would enter your door the moment you open it in the summer.

“Thank you for understanding and bringing this program to this stage,” she said, and then inquired about how the program could be renewed after four years.

One resident questioned why the whole ward was going to be a part of the program and not just the area . . .

GDG Environment sales manager Gregory Roy makes a slideshow presentation to about 30 Kanata North residents during the first set of three public meetings leading up to the vote on whether to implement a mosquito pesticide program. represented by the petition, Wilkinson said she has had plenty of complaints about mosquitos from across the ward and that they are a problem everywhere.

Wilkinson said ballots must be received by Tuesday, Feb. 16 at 4 p.m., after which staff will begin counting.

The program could be started as early as this summer.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT

Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on February 10, 2016 established its intention to designate the Flewellyn Jones House, 5897 Fernbank Road under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property The Flewellyn/Jones House, 5897 Fernbank Road, is a one-and-one-half storey stone farmhouse located in the west end of Ottawa in former Goulbourn Township.

Statement of Cultural Value or Interest The Flewellyn/Jones House has cultural heritage value for its contextual value as an important reminder of the historic agricultural character of Goulbourn Township, design value as a 19th century farmhouse and historical value for its association with the Flewellyn family and the early settlement of Goulbourn Township.

The Flewellyn/Jones House has design value as a good example of a Gothic Revival farmhouse built in the late 19th century to replace the earlier log house built when the land was first settled.

Typical of this style, it features decorative bargeboard trim, a steeply pitched gable roof, segmental arched windows and a veranda with wooden trim. The Flewellyn/Jones House is one of several houses in this area constructed with a similar plan. It features the same decorative bargeboard and layout as the Boyd House at 173 Huntmar Drive which was constructed one year later and may have been built by the same stone mason.

The Flewellyn/Jones House has historical value for its association with the Flewellyn family, a prominent family in early Goulbourn Township who owned the house from the time of construction until the 1950s. The Flewellyn family came immigrated to Canada from Ireland in 1863 and this property is associated with the settlement and farming of this area by Irish and Scottish immigrants in the mid-19th century.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

Steve Kanellakos named city’s new manager Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa city council appointed Steve Kanellakos to replace city manager Kent Kirkpatrick at a special meeting on Feb. 8.

Kanellakos is a veteran of the Ottawa municipal scene – he was a former City of Ottawa deputy city manager and has 30 years of experience overseeing municipal projects and services, according to a press release sent out by the city.

“We are delighted to have Mr. Kanellakos return to Ottawa city hall to continue his great work on behalf of Ottawa residents,” Mayor Jim Watson, chair of the hiring panel, wrote in the statement.

“He is a trusted leader and consummate public servant with impeccable credentials in the planning and delivery of a broad range of municipal services.”

Watson added the city is undergoing unprecedented growth with the expansion of light rail, the opening of the new Innovation Centre and other city construction initiatives.

“Our council, residents, employees and stakeholders will be well served by the dynamic and prudent management style of Mr. Kanellakos as the city moves forward with its challenging, ambitious priorities,” Watson said.

The city’s finance and economic development committee acted as the hiring panel for the new city manager.

All members of council provided input on their expectations for the ideal candidate.

Kanellakos worked as a manager for the city from 2000 to 2015, but he got his start with the Gloucester police department in 1985.

During his tenure as a deputy city manager in Ottawa, Kanellakos was responsible for the majority of municipal employees and front-line service departments.

Kanellakos is currently city manager for the City of Vaughan. He is scheduled to take over his new post on May 2.

Current manager Kent Kirkpatrick will not seek a contract extension beyond March.

Kirkpatrick has held the city’s top job since 2004.

Request for Expressions of Interest 3071 Riverside Drive, Ottawa The Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation (OCLDC), on behalf of the City of Ottawa, is seeking to identify developers and builders who may be interested in the purchase and development of the property located at 3071 Riverside Drive. A formal notice advertising the sale of the property will also be issued at a later date.

This vacant 4.3-hectare property is situated in a prime location within the City, surrounded by an established residential neighbourhood. The property fronts on Riverside Drive and is opposite Mooney’s Bay. A high level concept plan has been developed through consultation with the community, and the City’s OCLDC is now also seeking input from the development industry.

Interested parties are encouraged to contact OCLDC staff to learn more about this opportunity by March 10, 2016.

Pets remove barriers for women escaping domestic violence Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

For many women trying to escape domestic violence, leaving their beloved pets behind or permanently surrendering them is not a realistic option.

One of the only programs of its kind in Ontario that provides foster care for these pets, SafePet Ottawa has quickly become a much-needed lifeline, allowing more women, children – and their pets – to escape the dangers they face.

“The whole idea of SafePet is that the animal that has been your only comfort, your only friend, should not be taken from you,” said Ayala Sher, president of the charitable organization.

SafePet volunteers spring into action when they receive a call from a participating veterinarian clinic that has been alerted by shelter staff that a woman will be dropping off her pet.

SafePet co-ordinators match the animal to the right foster, who will then go to the vet clinic to pick up the animal. The foster never meets the pet owner.

Women and their pets both need protection “because in 61 per cent of the cases done in a survey of animals left behind, (pets) were killed in retribution for leaving,” Sher said.

She can also point to stats dating back to 1998 that reveal 48 per cent of women in Ontario who should have exited into a women’s emergency shelter actually weren’t leaving because they were afraid to leave their animals behind.

“We think the number is higher,” Sher said, adding that the numbers are even higher

in rural, more isolated communities.

A 2000 study by the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals found that 44 per cent of women in shelters reported their partner had killed or abused one or more of their pets, according to the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies.

As well, 42 per cent said their partner had threatened to hurt or kill a family pet, the federation said on its website.

NO LONGER HAVE TO CHOOSE

Keri Lewis, executive director of Nelson House, a 15-bed Ottawa-area women’s shelter, said staff regularly get calls from women trying to escape violence who want to bring their pets.

Nelson House can’t accommodate pets due to allergies.

“Before SafePet was around, we would try to problem-solve,” said Lewis, a former longtime crisis counsellor.

Sometimes a woman could take her pet to a friend, neighbour or relative.

“But other times there was just no one, there were no resources, and so a woman would be in this position where they would have to choose to leave their pets behind,” Lewis said.

“But that’s not a good choice because often abusive partners or men will threaten to kill the pets or have hurt the pets in the past, so they don’t want to leave them in the home.”

The violence and threats are done out of retaliation and as a means to control a woman, she said.

“At a time when SafePet

was not available, I recall one woman …(who) had to leave her pet behind because it was a really dangerous situation,” said Lewis.

“She came, and then the pet was killed and left at a family member’s house in the front yard.

“It’s not uncommon for pets to be harmed by abusive men. And it’s really, really scary.”

A batterer will even buy his partner a pet to further tie her to him, said Sher.

The demand was so great for an Ottawa SafePet fostering program that two months after it opened in June 2014 with 10 fosters, they were overwhelmed with requests.

Intake was temporarily halted and a “massive” foster drive was launched.

“With that first round, we were just stunned by the response because we thought we’d get a handful,” Sher said.

NETWORK WAS KEY

Since reopening in November 2014, it has grown to include almost 40 volunteers fosters, though more are needed to serve women entering shelters across Ottawa, Lanark County and in Winchester.

SafePet has strict rules around fostering given the sensitive nature of their work.

Dogs, for instance, can’t be fostered in the same part of city they are rescued in case they are recognized.

For that reason, and others, they can’t be off-leash, nor can they be taken to offleash dog parks.

Cats become indoor pets.

With more fosters at the ready, all types of pets are welcome: cats, dogs, birds and

SafePet Ottawa has helped remove that barrier by fostering animals free-of-charge. little critters, like hamsters and ferrets, as well as goats, snakes and pigs.

When Sher reached out to

the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association in spring 2013 about the SafePet program – which she said it developed

about 13 years ago with the Ontario Association of Interval Transition Houses and Shelters – she learned it wasn’t functioning and lacked a network.

Shelter staff didn’t know which vets were participating.

Vet clinics serving as dropoff sites were boarding pets for two weeks, as well as providing free exams and updating vaccines. But a two-week stay wasn’t long enough, Sher said.

“The more I researched and the more people I spoke to the more distressed I was to discover that the program wasn’t working. Women still weren’t exiting,” she said.

“The shelters were being asked to set up their own veterinarian foster networks.”

Arnprior to welcome refugee family from Syria Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Of the 25,000 Syrian refugees bound for Canada, five will call the Arnprior area home.

Elaine Lowe of Project Arnprior Welcome made the announcement to an enthusiastic crowd of some 100 at the Christian Education Centre on Jan. 28. The family comprised of two adults, two girls aged 9and 11, and a boy, 2, should arrive in town before the end of February.

“I’m excited and a little bit terrified getting everything done,” Lowe said following the event, called A Taste of

Syria. “It’s all new; everything ahead of us. But we have a lot of great people in Project Arnprior Welcome.”

The group includes community members and various churches in town. Since forming in October, it has raised $21,000 of $27,000 to bring two families over. They acknowledge the challenges - translation, transportation, affordable housing, jobs, schooling and ESL, medical facilities, and employment – but are finding solutions.

The evening was a chance to learn more about Syrian culture including food, books, and a slideshow presentation by an Arabic man who calls

Deep River home. Ahmed Khalifa showed photos of a modern, civil Syria before civil war erupted. Then showed it today. On the left side of a slide was Saint Mary’s Church, built in 50 AD. On the right was the same building in ruins.

“The bombs don’t differentiate,” Khalifa said, clicking to the next slide. “Here is a refugee camp. They are in tents 24/7 in the snow. We camp here for three or four days, a week, then go home and say that’s nice. They can’t leave.”

He talked about traditions and cultural practices that the family will bring to Arnprior.

Family is first; children respect

their elders all the way down to how they sit up straight.

Parents take on the name of their first born, such as The Father of X. The elderly are highly respected. An elderly father’s hand will be kissed.

There are few nursing homes.

Many women dress modestly to gain respect and protection. In many Arab countries, such as Khalifa’s home of Egypt, women hold high levels of office. He said disrespecting women is a cultural practice, not a religious one.

Muslims pray five times a day, totalling less than 20 minutes.

The Arabic language comes from Syria, like English is from England. Many laughed when he said Egyptians speak a variation comparable to Texas English.

Shaking hands is a favoured greeting, but not as common between men and women. Hugging occurs between those of the same gender, and it occurs more often then in Canada. Lebanese men are likely to kiss one another three times on the cheeks.

Holidays include Christmas and New Year’s, but also a feast following a monthlong fast and a sacrificial feast to commemorate the story of Abraham and Isaac.

George Fouor stood at this point during the presentation to dispel any myths that Syrians will take advantage of Canada’s generosity. The pizza shop owner who is originally from Lebanon said they would feel too much shame in accepting welfare.

“Syrian people are hard-

working people. You will be telling them, ‘Please, slow down,’” he said, to more laughter. “They are good people; just they’ve been butchered. They’d love to go back to their homes, but there is no sight to the end of the war.”

He invited anyone with questions to approach him at any time.

“You will love them all and they will always be appreciative,” Fouor concluded.

ESCAPING HORROR

Khalifa agreed, saying, “They are just trying to escape horror and start a new life.”

He talked of how Muslims refrain from eating pork or drinking alcohol, and how it is a disappointment to turn down the offer of food when a guest in their home.

Other aspects are familiar to westerners. The mother who pesters for a grandchild; the insistence on paying the restaurant bill; the polite refusal of a bus seat. Khalifa said they will politely decline three times, even if they intended on accepting it the first time.

A questioner from the crowd asked what assurances Canadians can have that fighting between warring factions in the Middle East won’t break out once in Canada.

Khalifa said it is a good question, and that “these families are fleeing war. They last thing on their minds is continuing war. They are fed up with war. They are fed up with bloodshed.”

He said it is possible that

some won’t be close friends with one another, but when they see how peaceful and diverse Canada is they will learn to accept.

Cathy McCaig of Emmanuel Anglican Church and Andrew Love of Grace St. Andrew’s United Church attended the meeting. They recalled how the “ministerials” – the group representing a dozen area churches – became involved. Mayor David Reid approached them to ask if they would do something.

Love has experience in sponsorship agreements and helped bring refugees to Ottawa South in the past.

“This is a little bit different in that this is a community-driven initiative with the churches supporting it,” Love said. “There is a need to do something on a pure humanitarian level.”

McCaig said there are 59.5 million people around the world displaced. Arnprior is attempting to help one.

“It really is overwhelming,” she said. Asked what Jesus would make of the evening, she chuckled and said: “He always called us to do more.

He’d say, ‘How come we’re not bringing more?’”

Love agreed, but said Jesus would be impressed.

Khalifa recalled a story of refugees who were so overwhelmed by the generousity of Canadians that they had to ask: Are these angels? No, Khalifa, said. They are Anglicans. They are Christians.

TOONIE JARS

Project Arnprior Welcome (PAW) continues its work to bring a Syrian Refugee family to town. They need the public’s help to raise an additional $6,000 to make it happen.

Other communities around the Ottawa Valley have raised enough funds to bring families to resettle in their communities. While many people from Arnprior and district have been generous in donating money, they now can help fill up Toonie jars to be located in various businesses around town during February.

Arrest in car stop near Arnprior related to house raid in Kanata Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Police arrested seven people on Feb. 2, including four in a car stopped near Arnprior, after receiving information that there were guns in a house in Glen Cairn that were going to be used for a shooting that same night.

According to a neighbour of the Castlefrank Road residence where three of the seven arrests were made, police used a megaphone to demand that someone within the house come out on Feb. 2 at about 7 p.m.

The neighbour, on Facebook, identified the house in question as 159 Castlefrank Rd., noting that there was a large police presence.

After receiving information that there might be guns in the house, police conducted surveillance on the residence, said Sgt. Josh Pulfer with the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit.

“We believed that those guns were going to be used in a shooting Tuesday night,” said Pulfer.

Fearing imminent dan-

ger to the public, the police breached the house without a warrant and arrested three of the seven individuals who had been in the house, he said.

Police found a shotgun and several shotgun shells, resulting in police laying more than 30 firearms charges.

A small amount of crack cocaine was also found on one of the suspects.

He acknowledged reports in the media that the arrests were in connection to the shooting at Shifa Restaurant, on Iris Street, on Jan. 31.

News reports suggest the Kanata arrests were intended to stop a revenge shooting against those who carried out the Shifa shooting.

“I know it’s been repeated in a couple of different media outlets, but it’s not anything that’s coming out of our office,” said Pulfer.

“We’re not going to comment on whether or not there is any connection to the homicide (on Iris).”

While police had reasonable grounds to arrest all seven people for offences, Pulfer said the owner of the house might not have been directly involved.

“I think it’s some street gang associates or some street gang members taking advantage of somebody and using their position and their residence for their benefit.

I think that’s what it looks like,” said Pulfer.

The police investigation continues.

FOUR DEPARTED

The police raid came shortly after four of the suspects left the house in a vehicle. Those four were arrested in a vehicle near Arnprior, at the same time officers were entering the house on Castlefrank.

The neighbour said she feared bullets could fly at any minute and hid as far as possible from the walls closest to the house being raided. She said police and a police dog searched her backyard.

The next day, police returned with a warrant to search the premises, said Pulfer.

IODE Week in city runs until Feb. 15 Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson has proclaimed Feb. 8-15 as IODE Awareness Week in the city.

The week that puts the spotlight on the little-known activities of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire (IODE) was officially launched at Ottawa City Hall Monday with a reading of the proclamation and special flag-raising of the IODE Standard. The flag will fly for there all week, including IODE Founder’s Day, Sunday Feb. 13.

Since 1900 IODE, a volunteer women’s charitable organization, has been assisting Canadians in need through educational support, community service projects and citizenship programs.

Ottawa’s first IODE chapter was established in 1906. Today, 94 members of Ottawa’s three primary chapters (IODE Laurentian, 1906, IODE Lorraine, 1919, and IODE Walter Baker, 1988), along with the municipal chapter, IODE Ottawa (1918), continue to provide community service.

Seniors at Home

Are you a fan of football or hockey? Even more so a fan of the Ottawa Redblacks or Ottawa 67’s, then you will want to take advantage of this free offer.

Join Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home for breakfast on Monday, Feb. 15 and enter a chance to win a replica football signed by star Redblacks receiver Brad Sinopoli, a member of the team that went to the 2015 Grey Cup. Or you could win four tickets to a Ottawa 67’s home game at TD Place.

Both prizes are compliments of the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group.

A Peterborough native and former quarterback with the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees, Sinopoli capped off what has been his breakout year in 2015 in professional football by winning the CFL’s Most Outstanding Canadian player.

Sinopoli finished the season with 86 receptions for 1,035 yards and 3 touchdowns, all career-highs.

The draw for the autographed

football is open to all age 19 and under. Breakfast is open to all ages.

The ‘Family Day Breakfast with Cupid’ is hosted by ABMSH at the Christian Education Centre, 257 John St. North in Arnprior.

Breakfast will be served from 8 to 11 a.m. with volunteer members of the community serving up pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, sausage and homemade muffins. Also available are coffee, tea and juice all for the cost of $8 per adult, $4 for children age 8 and under and free for children under the age of two.

Seniors at Home promises plenty of fun for all. Cupid will be there to greet kids and their families, and give out a special Valentine flower for the first ladies to attend.

Enjoy the live entertainment and musical talents of local musicians Gaston Moreau and Rick Leben.

And finally, meet Justin Philips and his young family. Phillips, #44 of the 2015 Redblacks, played in the Grey Cup game. He will be available for an autograph session.

Hockey players from West Carleton and Arnprior battle it out for puck possession during the Jon Brunette Memorial Initiation Fun Day on Jan. 30.

Correction

In the article ‘Initiation fun day keeps hockey memories alive’ in the Feb. 4 West Carleton Review, it incorrectly stated from where the sponsorship funds for local hockey players is raised.

The money is raised through the Jon Brunette Memorial Golf Tournament, held in August. Any money raised through the Jon Brunette Memorial Initiation Fun Day is used for an end-of-year hockey party. The Review apologizes for the error.

Q: My wife and I are separating. We have two sons, 11 and 8 years old. Things are reasonably amicable between us, especially regarding the children, and we are trying to figure out custody and access. We both work full time and will be living near each other. What does custody mean, and what sort of arrangements do people in our situation make?

People commonly use custody to describe who the children live with, but that is legally inaccurate. Custody refers to decisions about how the child is raised – things such as education, residence, health care and activities.

Therefore, joint custody does not mean a 50/50 time split between the parents. It means they will share in decisions about those important factors. In a situation such as yours, joint custody is likely appropriate. This means you will make decisions jointly on the above issues, regardless of how much time the children spend with each parent.

Time spent with the children is referred to as access. In a joint custody situation, you may share access equally.

Some families do one week rotations, others more frequently. When access is not equal, the parent who has the children less often has them every other weekend and one weeknight each week. The arrangement should be based on such factors as the age and care arrangements of the children and the work schedules of the parents. In all circumstances, the parties should strive to consider what will be best for the children to maintain positive relationships with both parents.

When you are negotiating your separation agreement, a family lawyer will be able to advise you on the legal and practical considerations of custody and access.

Kindergarten and Grade 1 students at St. Michael’s School in Fitzroy Harbour celebrated 100 days of learning on Friday, Feb. 5.

Over in Susie Wilson and Caro-

line Giguere-O’Rourke’s Kindergarten class, students were learning about the Arctic. A hands-on (or hands-in) experiment had the students place one hand in ice water, while the other hand was wrapped in a plastic bag with blubber and then placed into the water.

The students learned how the thick layer of fat kept marine mammals warm in chilly water.

The students were also studying Inukshuks and Arctic animals and their footprints.

Just down the hall in Pat Pilon’s Grade 1 class, the students were discussing what they would

be doing in 100 years.

“Cooking,” volunteered one study. “Knitting,” was another reply, as was “watching TV,” and “cleaning dishes.”

Grade 1 student Marysia Arnkvarn said her favourite aspect of school is “learning,” while her favourite subject to study is

French.

Some of the more recent items learned included how to measure using feet, and energy, such as that produced by the sun.

Today, however, was all about the celebration.

“We’re just having fun,” said Marysia.

Arnprior hospital already in line with new parking fees Ontario asks An announcement two weeks ago by the province aimed at putting a cap on hospital parking fees will have no effect for West Carleton residents using Arnprior’s hospital.

The provincial government declared that hospitals, mostly those in the cities, charging more than $10 a day must provide discounted weekly or monthly passes that can be shared between

patients and caregivers and allow in-and-out privileges.

However, parking charges at the Arnprior hospital are well below that figure.

In August 2015, Arnprior Regional Health increased parking rates to $4 a day and boosted monthly parking passes to $40 per month. Parking is available 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-aweek at both the front and the

back of the hospital and there are clearly designated handicapped parking spaces.

“ARH is no different than any other hospital as parking dollars help towards funding operational costs,” said the hospital in a news release.

“When we increased our parking rates from $2 to $4 in August 2015, it was to offset the cost of the much-needed facility renewal

project which is about $5 million over the next 3 to 4 years.”

ARH also notes that there is no fee for parking at the Grove Nursing Home.

Monthly passes for the hospital may be bought at the registration desk in the emergency department. The passes are “fully compliant” with the direction provided by the Ministry of Health.

notice of application for approval to expropriate land

The Property Sketches referred to in Schedule A forming part of this Notice, are available for viewing during regular business hours at the City’s Client Service Centre, 1st Floor, City Hall, City of Ottawa, 110 Laurier Avenue West.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that application has been made for approval to expropriate the lands described in Schedule A attached hereto.

East Side Mario’s bringing in Brea Lawrenson for ALS fundraiser

R0013604182-1217

When the father-in-law of an employee of East Side Mario’s in Arnprior was diagnosed with ALS, everyone in the restaurant felt her pain.

So the gang at the restaurant decided to hold a special event this Friday, Feb. 12 to support her family and others dealing with the cruel disease.

Popular Valley singer Brea Lawrenson will be performing at the ‘Share the Love’ ALS fundraiser, reports restaurant man-

ager Janet Forsythe.

Thanks to sponsorship

by Haven Fire Support, tickets will only cost $5.

Forsythe notes there will be lots of door prizes throughout the evening at the ALS awareness gathering.

“This will be an amazing night with great music lots of laughter and great company,” she said.

The public is encouraged to drop by the restaurant to support the cause because as the posters say: “Someone I love needs a cure.”

hospitals to cut parking rates Staff

The provincial government has announced it is changes the rules to make hospital parking “more affordable for thousands of patients, their loved ones and caregivers.”

As of Oct. 1, hospitals that charge more than $10 a day for parking will be required to provide five-, 10- and 30day passes that are: • Discounted by 50 per cent off their daily rate • Transferable between patients and caregivers • Equipped with in-and-out privileges throughout a 24-hour period • Good for one year from the date of purchase.

The government says it consulted with patients, patient advocacy groups, hospitals and the Ontario Hospital Association to find a “fair plan” that reduces the financial burden of parking fees for patients and their visitors.

Hospitals are being asked to work with their patient and family advisory councils to implement the new policy, ensuring it is well promoted and easy to understand.

The government expects about 900,000 patients and visitors - including 135,000 seniors - to benefit from reduced parking fees each year.

Travellers warned about Zika virus The risk to Ontarians of contacting the Zika virus at home is “very low,” but people, especially pregnant women, travelling to Central and South America should be aware of the dangers, warn Ontario health officials.

In an alert last Friday, Ontario Minister of Health and Long Term Care Dr. Eric Hoskins and the province’s acting Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams, explained that the local risk is low as the mosquitoes known to transmit the virus are not established in Canada and are not well-suited to its climate.

However, current evidence suggests that Zika virus is likely to persist and spread in the Americas and the South Pacific, says the statement.

Travellers should consult their health care provider before travelling and protect themselves by taking protective measures to prevent mosquito bites, including using insect repellent, protective clothing and mosquito nets, the alert advises. There is no vaccine or medication that protects against the Zika virus infection.

Public school board trustees pass French curriculum changes Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

After hours of debate and emotional appeals from parents, English public school board trustees approved several changes to French instruction in kindergarten, and early French immersion program during a lengthy Feb. 2 meeting.

Trustees voted to change all kindergarten classes within the board to a half French, half English model, merging students in both the English and early French immersion programs, and changing the entry point for EFI from senior kindergarten to Grade 1.

A proposal to change math instruction in EFI from French to English in grades 1 to 3 was also passed.

Trustees voted to accept staff’s recommendation to cancel earlier plans that would have introduced 60 minutes of English instruction a day in the EFI program. Some parents worried it would make the French immersion program too English-heavy.

EXTRA HELP

During the course of the public board meeting, a new proposal was tabled and passed by trustees.

That amendment called for some of the cost savings generated as a result of the changes to be used to help any English language learners and students with special needs who struggle with increased French instruction in kindergarten. The board stands to garner $2.75 million in grants and savings with the changes.

Pending one final vote by

the same trustees on Feb. 9 – which is expected to garner the same results – all changes will come into effect by September 2016.

Parents concerned about the impacts of the changes on both English language and EFI students had an opportunity to speak at the meeting, which was attended by at least 60 people and ran until after 11 p.m. on a Tuesday night.

One mother, Anna Beith, worried that changing math instruction to English in EFI would dilute the amount of French in the program.

“The research shows that only 100 per cent French immersion is a certain path to achieving proficiency in (that) language,” Beith said. “Everything else is a grey zone with ambiguously uncertain results.”

Stephanie Millius – whose son started EFI in senior kindergarten last September – said her son is struggling with the split French and English model already in place for students entering the program in that grade. She said she worried that his struggles with the increased number of teachers in the classroom would be shared by all kindergarten students if the proposed kindergarten changes were approved.

“My son has nine points of contact,” Millius said.

“My son is not having a good year. He does not know the names of all his teachers.

Parents and students find the current 50-50 model (for EFI students) very challenging, and this model should not be applied to all kindergarten students.”

SPLIT VOTE

Ultimately six trustees voted in favour of the changes – including the proposal to use savings to assist students struggling with those changes – with four voting against and one abstaining.

“I feel it was the right thing

The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Trillium Line Extension Planning and Environmental Assessment study.

The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing diesel-powered O-Train Trillium Line service from Greenboro Station to Bowesville Road and to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

to do for our students,” said Shirley Seward, board chair and trustee for River Ward.

“Trustees looked at all the material, including the surveys from the first phase and the second phase. We also did our own consultations in our own zones with our own constituents.”

The meeting followed two phases of public consultation, including two surveys of parents and school staff that a report by the board said garnered “impressive” response rates.

The second round of surveys received 4,856 responses, which showed narrow support for the changes to kindergarten and EFI, while staff opposed the kindergarten changes and voted in favour of teaching math in English in EFI. “It just shows, first of all, how important the issue is,” Seward said of the public response to the surveys and the level of attendance at the meeting. “But secondly, I feel so proud as a trustee and as a chair of the board, that the community is so engaged in public education.”

The changes are expected provide a financial boost to the board, which is facing a tough budget year.

By adding more French language education and consolidating kindergarten classrooms, the board expects to earn an extra $2 million in grants annually, while also recovering $750,000.

“Taking everything into account, I feel we made the right decision,” Seward said.

“I think the most important thing now will be how it is implemented and the supports that are put in place for our vulnerable children.”

Innovation Drive park-and-ride construction to start this spring

About 300 spaces ready to use this fall Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Morgan’s Grant residents and many others will have a new commuting option this fall when about 300 parking spaces are expected to be ready at a new Innovation Drive park-and-ride.

The project, in the works for about five years, is ready to get underway this spring.

It will take place on a five-hectare site located at the south corner of Terry Fox and Innovation drives.

Grading and other work will be done on the entire site in preparation for an additional 500 spaces to be put in after the first 300 open.

The first phase is budgeted at $8.3 million.

That will cover almost the whole project, with less than

$1 million likely to be needed to finish the project completely, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

“I’m happy to have it because we need to have something,” said Wilkinson.

“I get a lot of complaints about people getting tickets at Eagleson Road (to catch a bus from the Eagleson park-and-ride).

“This will give (commuters) an alternative,” she said.

The park-and-ride is expected to be used mostly by local residents who commute downtown or elsewhere east of Kanata.

In a previous study, the city found about 16 per cent of park-and-ride users are from rural areas, while 60 to 70 per cent are local, said Wilkinson.

The park-and-ride could also serve as overflow parking for the Richcraft Recreation Complex just to the south, and could serve as a departure point for trips to the Canadian Tire Centre or TD Place, Wilkinson said.

OC Transpo has yet to determine how buses will

This aerial photo shows the location of the Innovation Drive park-and-ride, to be completed in 2017. connect to the site, though a committee is being set up to determine that, said Wilkinson.

Modifications to Terry Fox Drive, Innovation Drive and Goulbourn Forced Road are expected to pro-

vide access to the park-andride, including bike lines, sidewalks and multi-use pathways.

Submitted

The mid-sized park-andride site is expected to be completely finished by the summer of 2017.

White Pine Festival, car show moving to ABBA ball diamonds Arnprior’s White Pine Festival will have a new date and home this summer.

The annual celebration, including the car show, will be held Aug. 26 to 28 at the ABBA ball diamonds because of downtown revitalization construction.

Main organizers Mike Marcil, Tracy Smith, Glenn Arthur and Art Smith report that the festival will be loaded onto the Giant Tiger Train and moved from the downtown area across the bridge to the new location With all the downtown construction starting early this spring and not ending until the fall of 2017, the festival had to be relocated, they say. They expect the new home off McNab and McLean streets will be a “great” location for the festival for many years to come.

They note it is “very easy to find”: turn left or right off Madawaska Boulevard onto McNab Street between Rona and Scheel Windows and straight down to McLean Street.

“We will be blessed with tons of room for the coming years. As we proceed, the festival will have no problem tripling (in) future years with all of the entertainment for thousands of

visitors.” They organizers point out there are hundreds of parking spaces on site that makes it easy for people to attend. As well, the car show has space for hundreds of new and old vehicles on the Saturday with another vehicle show on Sunday.

Having the festival on the last weekend in August brings back the two-week separation with the Arnprior Fair, which is being held Aug. 11-14.

“We will be starting immediately to get in touch with all concerned parties to help us fill the festival and car show with a bit of everything for every one’s enjoyment,” say the organizers.

“We have some great local people helping us with everything, but if anyone would like to become involved, here is your chance to help make a difference in your community.

“We will be holding an open meeting in the next few weeks. Also, another announcement with a lot of the programs, etc. will be out shortly.’

The organizers say they are proud to announce the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide newspaper will be an official sponsor for 2016 and “hopefully for years to come.”

Museum seeks ‘Arnprior on the World Stage’ war photographs of exhibit scheduled to open Feb. 19 two area veterans Staff

John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

The Arnprior and District Museum is seeking help from the public to find photographs of two Arnprior veterans.

Museum curator Janet Carlile explains that the photographs are needed for the ‘Arnprior on the World Stage exhibit, which will be opening Feb. 19.

The museum has been searching high and low for photographs of First World War veteran Philias Turcott and Second World War soldier Arthur Turcotte. Both served in the Canadian army and were prisoners of war.

The museum has considerable information about the two soldiers who grew up in this area and returned here after their war-time service. “But we’re missing their photographs,” Carlile said.

PHILIAS TURCOTT

Turcott was born on Jan. 27, 1891 and died on April 16, 1957.

He served in France and was captured by the Germans after being severely injured.

“His leg was blown off … he was lucky to have survived,” noted Carlile.

She said that thanks to family donations the museum has “quite a good biography” on Turcott, as well as his Arnprior Homecoming medal and a letter he received from King George congratulating him on his release from the German POW camp.

ARTHUR TURCOTTE

The museum doesn’t have as much biographical information on Turcotte, but does know he served in Hong Kong. It has his letters sent to his family from a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp where he was held from 1941 to the end of the Second World War. “We love to have a photograph of him,” said Carlile.

She said that the museum has been given some “really wonderful stuff ” for the exhibit that will put the spotlight on Arnprior’s “hugely important” role in the two world wars as well as more modern conflicts.

“Until now tangible proof of Arnprior’s involvement in the two World Wars has been held in family lore, archives and dark corners of the museum,” a museum announcement of the exhibit explains.

The new exhibit, which will be a permanent fixture on the museum’s second floor, will shed light on a collection of artifacts and uniforms along with “highlighting the untold stories of the contribution of local people to both World Wars.”

Included will be video interviews with veterans, including stories by ‘Mac’ Scobie, who passed away just last week.

“We owe a debt of thanks to those families who are sharing what Arnprior was on the world stage with the rest of Arnprior,” said Carlile.

The exhibit features items donated by the families of several veterans, including Art Appleby of Sand Point, Lorne Kelly (thanks to his niece) and Nick Smith, after whom the recreation centre was named.

A special grand re-opening of the Arnprior and District Museum is set for Friday, Feb. 19 to introduce an exciting new exhibit.

‘Arnprior on the World Stage’ is a permanent, stirring tribute to Arnprior and its citizens who contributed to the first and second world wars.

The museum has been closed to the public since November, as teams of volunteers and workers have both created the new military exhibits and expanded existing displays.

The new permanent military exhibit incorporates inspiring video interviews of the stories and first-hand experiences of Arnprior and area veterans, together with important artifacts such as letters and medals of commendation and the uniforms and photos of those who served.

Museum curator/manager Janet Carlile highlights the importance of Arnprior citizens’ contribution to the world in its formative years.

“The goal of this exhibit is to help foster an awareness and under-

The new exhibit is made possible by a grant from the World War Commemorations Community Fund and, thanks to support from the Friends of the Arnprior and Dis-

trict Museum and the Museum Reserve Fund, the Boer War and later conflicts such as Korea, Bosnia and Afghanistan are also included.

A grand opening ceremony will be held Feb. 19 at 6 p.m.

Effective Feb. 19, the Arnprior and District Museum will be open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Admission is $3.50 for adults, $2 for seniors and students, and $9 for families.

BOER WAR MEMORIES

Carlile is particularly proud of items once owned by Alexander Stewart, a veteran of the Boer War. Stewart was a member of the Lord Strathcona Infantry Division and his uniform is probably the best preserved of any leftover from that period.

It was once on display at the Canadian War Museum, so “we were really fortunate to get it,” Carlile said.

She said Arnprior on the World Stage will be a changing, evolving exhibit, growing as more donations are made. “I would hope people realize that putting grandpa’s medals away in a drawer isn’t helping to keep the veterans’ memories alive,” she said.

The exhibit was made possible by a $32,000 World War Commemorations Community Fund grant.

“It’s great to see it come together,” said Carlile. “We got some very important and interesting people from Arnprior in the wars … people should know about them.”

Anyone with leads on possible photographs of soldiers Turcott and Turcotte are asked to call Carlile at 613-623-4902.

The public is invited to the sixth annual Snow Angel Making Party in Lanark Highlands Sunday Feb. 21.

The fun party open to any and everyone who wants to celebrate winter and to see who else is drawn to the fine art of making snow angels will run from 1-4 p.m. at Highlands Gate, 4381 Wolf Grove Rd. near Middleville.

Falling backwards into

the soft snow and making your own unique impression produces an inexplicable sense of joy, says organizer Susan Cressy. “You really need to experience it, along with others, to realize the collective energy.”

There is a play structure with a curly slide, horses to feed carrots to, sliding hills and 85 acres of fields and forest to snowshoe and

cross country ski.

There will be a campfire with hot cider and good cheer and you are welcome to bring something to cook over the fire or a treat to share, says Cressy.

“Dress for the weather and wear a coat with a hood so you don’t get snow down your neck when you are flailing in the snow,” she advises.

MacPherson’s donates $500 to Seniors at Home for every maintenance call it received during that time period for either furnace, boiler or fireplace cleaning.

“We are very excited to announce that we have raised $500 for ABMSH, a wonderful organization that supports our community’s seniors,” said assistant office manager Tanya Mulvihill.

“We at ABMSH are very thankful for the donation and for business folks

like MacPherson’s Plumbing and Heating and their generosity,” said Seniors at Home executive director Dennis Harrington.

“Thank you and congratulations MacPherson Plumbing & Heating nominated and winners of the Arnprior ChronicleGuide’s Reader’s Choice Awards winning diamond for plumbing and gold for heating/air-conditioning,” he added.

Seniors at Home offers tax program Liz Wall

Seniors at Home

Be prepared. It is income tax filing time.

The Income Tax Program at Arnprior-BraesideMcNab Seniors at Home (ABMSH) begins March 2.

It is a community volunteer income tax program available only to individuals with low to modest income. The filer must have a “simple” tax situation, i.e. no self-employment or business income or expenses, no capital gains or losses, and

no bankruptcy files.

The Seniors at Home office at Towne Centre Unit A1-106 McGonigal St. West in Arnprior will be open to accept 2015 income tax forms from Wednesday, March 2 to May 2. The service is offered Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Make note - these are the only days and times volunteers are available to accept returns.

ABMSH offers the income tax service free of

charge, but as it is a nonprofit charitable organization, it operates the program as a fundraiser for the agency, which makes a donation at the completion of the exercise most appreciated.

In return for a donation, no matter the amount, you will be issued an official donation receipt for income tax purposes (2017).

If you require further information, contact program co-ordinator Jennifer Stratton at 613-623-7981 Monday to Friday between 12:30 and 4:30 p.m.

Audrey’s future in school comes into question Even though the Findlay Oval was pounding out ferocious heat, I felt a coldness in the kitchen, which had nothing to do with the fastburning wood diminishing in the stove, or the drafts coming from the frost covered windows.

I sensed it as soon as I sat down at the supper table. It looked like my beloved sister Audrey had been crying. And Father’s Grace was shorter than usual.

Everyone was quiet. Even my rambunctious brothers, who usually jabbed elbows when they took their place behind the supper table on the long bench under the grape-arbour window, sat like stones.

What was happening? Why was everyone so quiet? Mother broke the long silence. “It may not be for long,” she said, looking at Audrey. “Once we get straightened away, you could quit.”

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Quit what? I knew I was too young to be caught up in serious talk, but wasn’t I old enough to know what was obviously happening to my sister to cause tears, and turn the kitchen into a room of such coldness?

Sitting beside Audrey, I reached over and took her hand without saying a word, and looked up at her.

“I may have to go into Renfrew to work.” Now the tears started to run down her cheeks like little rivers. “But you can’t. You are still in school!” I said.

It was Father who brought the whole issue to a head.

And as I listened I knew it wasn’t only for my benefit. He was trying to make sense of what was happening.

There just was no money. It was as simple as that.

It was the dead of winter, and there were no vegetables to sell, the egg-laying had slowed down; just enough for our own table. Mother’s blue jug was empty.

It had been a bad few months, Father said. There were bills to pay: Briscoe’s General Store, Scott’s Hardware, and a small bill owing at Ritza’s Drug Store.

Father went on. I knew it wasn’t for my benefit, but

Pet Adoptions

just to repeat what everyone else already knew: we needed money to get through the rest of the winter.

Father and Everett were getting a few Saturdays work at Helferty’s bush, but that only paid a dollar a day. Emerson and Earl were left to do the chores.

Going into Renfrew every Saturday with homemade soap, sticky buns and a few eggs did little to fill the blue jug.

Not only for my benefit, I knew, but to once more try to justify what was happening, Mother tried to explain.

The woman who ran the beauty parlour would take Audrey on to do housework, and help look after her growing family. She would live with them, work seven days a week, and earn a few dollars which she would hand over to Mother and Father, and perhaps, Mother said, she may be able to keep a dollar for herself occasionally.

Now, I was crying too.

“But what about school?” I asked. “Audrey is in the Entrance Class. How can you ask her to quit school when she only has a few more months to go?”

No one had an answer.

And there wasn’t much supper being eaten either.

I looked at the half-filled plates, and knew most of what was left would be going into the big granite soup pot on the back of the stove.

After the kitchen had been redded up, and the redchecked oilcloth wiped clean, no one made a move to enjoy the usual nighttime activities around the table. Father moved to the rocking chair by the stove, but the Ottawa Farm Journal lay across his knees unopened.

Even Mother made no effort to bring her beloved diaries down from the cupboard.

The only sound came from Emerson playing with a deck of cards, snapping one down after another onto the table, gathering them up, and starting all over again.

Father got up and began getting the Findlay Oval ready for the night. Using the iron poker, he jabbed away at the fire bed, laying down a big log from the wood box inside, and moving the rocking chair away from the heat, something he did every night before we went to our beds.

Long before our usual time, we headed upstairs, Audrey leading the way with the coal oil lamp.

The bed was icy cold and that night Audrey took out the bedroll that separated us,

tossing it on the floor, and put her arm around me.

I was sure she was pretending to be asleep, but I lay awake staring at the black ceiling, wondering what was happening to our family. My pillow was wet from silent tears, and I thought of the nights ahead when I would be alone in the big bed. There would be no one to sing me to sleep, or to stop the brothers from fighting in the next room.

And what about Audrey? She had never been away from home before. Where would she sleep?

My silent prayers that night were long and meaningful, and I made a deal with God. If he would find a way to keep my beloved sister at home, at least until she finished at the Northcote School, I would be the best behaved girl in all of Renfrew County.

Would He hear my prayers? Would my prayers alone save my sister Audrey from leaving home?

When Canadians retire, they will have an average of 2,000 additional hours per year to fill – the time they now spend working.

A new RBC survey of 1,500 working Canadians 50 and older found nearly threequarters (73 per cent) are unsure what they’ll do with that extra time.

While the survey found nearly two-thirds (64 per cent) have done some planning for how they will finance retirement, less than half have done some planning for retirement lifestyle decisions, such as where they will live, where they will travel (44 per cent each) and what activities they will do (46 per cent).

Bill Hill, national financial planning consultant and retirement designer at RBC, en-

courages Canadians to plan for their retirement by first thinking about the kind of life they want to live in retirement, before discussing their finances.

“Too often, the word ‘retirement’ is tied to the money, rather than to the life you hope to lead when you retire,” Hill explained.

“You should start by asking yourself, ‘What do I want to do when I retire?’ If you’re part of a couple, have you discussed each other’s hopes for retirement – or are you assuming your partner fully agrees with what you personally want to do? If you’re an individual, have you thought about what will be truly important to you when you retire?”

The RBC survey found

more than half (61 per cent) of Canadians polled plan to stay in their current home when they retire, with more than a quarter (28 per cent) planning to renovate. A third (33 per cent) plan to downsize to smaller home.

International home designer Hilary Farr has seen first-hand how important it is for couples to have these discussions in advance – whether it’s about renovations or retirement.

“You need to have a strong foundation and a shared vision to ensure the end result satisfies everyone, whether you’re thinking about retirement or your home,” said Farr.

Canadians can find retirement design resources at retirementdesigners.ca.

Armour, Ronald “Ron” We lost a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and father-in-law on Sunday morning, February 7, and the many others who knew him lost a great friend. Ron Armour passed away at home, surrounded by his loving wife, Sue, and his five daughters, Lori, Lynn, Leah, Lisa, and Louise. There are too many wonderful memories of Ron to fit in a short story, or even a long one for that matter. One thing is for sure, he loved a good story himself and was known for his ability to weave a good joke into a great one. Ron loved to laugh, and he lived life to enjoy it. A glass of good scotch during happy hour, a day on the links at Mississippi or Black Bear, watching the sun set or the dolphins swim by from their penthouse condo in Myrtle Beach, trying to foil the squirrels from invading his bird-feeders.

Spending time with his family. These were things he cherished the most. Likes included Reuben sandwiches and filet mignon. Dislikes, broccoli. Likes: winning at bridge and finding a good deal—of any kind. When something amazed or impressed him, it was always “uncanny”—and he said it like he meant it. A natural-born entrepreneur, Ron spent more than 23 years as the owner and operator of his own garage—a place his daughters knew they could always get a bag of free chips on the way home from school. And he spent another 20 building an impressive career in real estate.

But his true love was away from work, at the cottage or travelling the world. Ron will always be remembered for the love and kindness he shared with his 12 grandchildren and the way he made his daughter and son-in-laws feel like a special part of the family.

Ron will be resting at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Ave., Carleton Place. Friends paid their respects and shared memories of their own on Tuesday, February 9, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Mass of Christian Funeral took place the following day at St. Mary’s Catholic Church at 12 noon.

NOTICE OF PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA The Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-law 2016-47 on January 27, 2016, under Section 34 of The PLANNING ACT. Any person or public body who, before the by-law was passed, made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board with respect to the by-law, by filing with the Clerk of the City of Ottawa, a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the by-law and the reasons in support of the objection. An appeal must be accompanied by the Ontario Municipal Board’s prescribed fee of $125.00, which may be made in the form of a cheque payable to the Minister of Finance.

A notice of appeal can be mailed to the City Clerk at 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1, or by delivering the notice in person, to Ottawa City Hall, at the Information Desk in the Rotunda on the 1st floor, 110 Laurier Avenue West.

A notice of appeal must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on March 2, 2016.

Klondike Road to get a multi-use pathway Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

City planners are nearly ready with a design for a multi-use pathway on Klondike Road between March and Sandhill roads, with construction expected to finish this fall.

The pathway is a result of about four years of work with the goal of upgrading the rural road to an urban street, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, with this project being an interim step.

Senior city planner Jeff de Laat presented the preliminary design for the $1.2-million project to community members at a Kanata North Town Hall meeting held by Wilkinson on Jan. 20.

Rather than sidewalks, the three-metre-wide asphalt pathway will run along the south side of Klondike Road between March and Sandhill

roads. The pathway will have two lanes and be available for cyclist and pedestrian use.

LED lighting will also be installed on the street, said de Laat, making the new pathway safe for crews to clear it in the winter.

An asphalt platform will also be constructed for the bus stop already in existence on the road, as the bus currently has no place to pull over to load or unload riders.

Wilkinson has called the sidewalk-less portion of Klondike Road treacherous for pedestrians who have to walk on the road or the shoulder.

Part of the road itself will also be repaired, while curbs will be installed from March Road to Sandhill Road, and significant culvert extension work will have to take place at Shirley’s Brook.

Ditches will also have to be shifted, and work will have to take place across

residential driveways, said de Laat, though it will be done on city right-of-ways.

However, workers must give residents 24-hours notice before driveway work is done.

Traffic on the road is expected to be maintained, though the road will be reduced to one lane when required.

In late 2013, staff introduced a suggestion to residents to turn the street into a temporary one-way to make it safer for pedestrians until the road could be upgraded.

However, strong public opposition and other potentially unsafe situations that could be created kept that idea from taking hold.

To make a comment on the project, call de Laat at 613-580-2424, ext. 21916, or email at jeff.delaat@ottawa. ca.

COMMUNITY

No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

Should the by-law be appealed, persons or public bodies who wish to receive notice of the Ontario Municipal Board hearing can receive such notice by submitting a written request to the planner identified below.

An explanation of the purpose and effect of the by-law and a description of the lands to which the by-law applies are included.

The land to which the proposed by-law applies is subject to an application to amend an official plan, file number: D01-01-15-0006.

Dated at the City of Ottawa on February 11, 2016.

Clerk of the City of Ottawa City Hall 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW 2016-47 By-law 2016-47 amends the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 2008-250. The zoning by-law amendment affects multiple properties in the Village of Manotick generally located in the village core and various park locations. This is a city-initiated zoning by-law amendment resulting from update of the Manotick Secondary Plan.

By-law 2016-47 implements the land use plan and associated policies found in the Manotick Secondary Plan adopted by City Council on January 27, 2016. The zoning by-law amendment generally affects properties along Manotick Main Street, Bridge Street, in the historic village area, the non-residential area west of Manotick Main Street, the Mews, and certain park locations.

The amendment will generally extend the VM (Village Mixed-Use) zone to the north and south along Manotick Main Street; prohibit uses in the VM zone that do not support a pedestrian-oriented mixed-use core; permit an increased gross leasable area at the Mews; re-affirms the future use of parks; re-zone properties and refines lists of permitted uses to be in keeping with the land use plan; and removes the Village Residential Enterprise overlay that applies to parts of the village core.

Photographer to give Fireside Artist talk in Carp Renowned Ottawa photographer Ginny Fobert will be the guest speaker at next week’s West Carleton Arts Society meeting.

The public is welcome at the club’s latest Fireside Artist talk on Wednesday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church at 3760 Carp Rd. “Some photographers have a uniform, recognizable style. To me, it seems limiting to only photograph the world in one way,” says Fobert, who runs the MYND’s photography business. M-Y-N-D in Icelandic means photo or image.

“I don’t consider myself to be a traditional photographer,” she says. “I like to look for something of interest to photograph and go beyond it to find a different way to portray the shot.

Photography allows me to get outside the box, be a bit rebellious, break some rules and get away with it.

“Photography is also my way of slowing down, escaping the norm and

submitted

Ginny Fobert will discuss her photographs, such as this one, when she gives the West Carleton Arts Society’ Fireside Artist talk in Carp Feb. 17. watching the world move at a more peaceful pace.

The day I discovered photography was the day I also discovered a hidden part of myself,” she notes.

You have lots of priorities and ideas for making the most of life. Let’s start bringing your retirement strategy into focus.

At the West Carleton Arts Society meeting, Fobert will be taking members through her journey as a photographer and will discuss some of her unique

processes and techniques.

“I like that a photograph is made, not taken. It is made in your own mind and with your own eye, and it is slow and considered in its mak-

ing,” she says.

“Anyone can take a photo, but not everyone can make a picture. It takes a discerning eye, a sense of what is around you, and

how everything is reacting to the surrounding light sources.

“Without light, photography would not exist. In fact light is the true subject of every photograph. My passion is to chase the light, searching for it in beautiful and interesting places, make pictures and to share them with others.”

Since she began showing her work, Fobert became a member of the Foyer Gallery, has participated in numerous studio tours (Red Trillium, Maple Run), has shown at Expressions of Art, and has had solo shows at the City of Ottawa’s Atrium Gallery and Alice’s Café in Carp.

The fireside artists talk is free for arts society members, with a $5 fee for guests.

Park and enter at the back of the church.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, if you assumed you were right on track, you soon will see why it isn’t safe to assume. Do not take anything for granted and consider all potential outcomes.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Interpersonal dynamics are constantly changing, and you may have a challenging time wrangling in your relationship to where it feels comfortable, Taurus.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even if you are uncertain about someone’s intentions, it is best to give that person the benefit of the doubt. However, an ounce of skepticism never hurt anyone.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it is better to make your choices sooner rather than later this week. Putting decisions off only complicates matters. It may be an anxious time, but you will pull through.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Stop worrying about how others see you, Leo. This week own up to your beliefs, even if they seem to go against the norm. You may be surprised at the support you receive.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a hectic week leads to lots of demands on your time. Take things one task at a time and do not be afraid to say “no” if you feel you are overwhelmed.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Romantic thoughts this week will have you on a mission to spend quality time with a loved one, Scorpio. You may do everything in your power to be near your significant other.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Don’t try to erect barriers, Sagittarius. This week you have to let someone in and unburden some of the problems or thoughts that have been weighing you down.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Accomplish something important based on what you learn this week, Capricorn. Keep your eyes and ears open to all of the possibilities around you.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Try not to take the easy way out, Aquarius. When faced with some tough questions, stay strong and true to yourself. You will be happier in the long run if you do so.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, take some time off if your job seems like a headache this week. If you have the time, enjoy a long weekend or a short jaunt during the week.
