There’s a lot of excitement about the outdoor National Hockey League game between the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa coming up on Dec. 16, as playing outdoors promises to be a fun and unique experience for both fans and players. But in West Carleton, having fun playing outdoors is par for the course for the 260-plus players of the West Carleton Outdoor Hockey League, one of only two outdoor hockey leagues left in Canada. Founded 25 years ago in 1992 by Mike Oatway and Mike Lyons along with others, the original communities with teams in the league were Carp, Fitzroy, Corkery, Constance Bay, Kinburn and Dunrobin. Today this West Carleton Outdoor Hockey League involves teams from four communities: Carp, run by Ian Richardson; Fitzroy, run by Rob Roesler, who has been doing it for almost 20 years (Wow, what a long time community volunteer he is!); Dunrobin, run by Carole Merritt; and Constance Bay, run by Gayla Weatherall.

West Carleton Outdoor Hockey League Continued from page 1
Until two years ago, Kinburn, run by Matt Clark, was involved with the league as well. This West Carleton Outdoor Hockey League depends solely on volunteers, ranging from ice conveners to coaches, to referees to community organizers or leads. Each participating community has an outdoor rink that is maintained by a rink convener. Mike Oatway, the league founder, still volunteers his time as rink convener in Constance Bay, along with Len Russell and Adam Levere. Indeed, Len Russell succeeded Mike Oatway as the league’s community lead for Constance Bay, filling the role before Shawna Ramsey assumed the position. Shawna was the community lead for Constance Bay until Gayla Weatherall took it over in 2012. The West Carleton Outdoor Hockey
League is a coed league, with both boys and girls welcome to play. Players from ages 5 to 15 are eligible to play in the league, which has four age divisions: 5-7 years old, 8-9 years old, 10-12 years old and 13-15 years old. Players involved with indoor hockey are welcome to participate along with those who solely play in the outdoor league. Practices for teams in each division are run once a week in the evenings while most of the games are played on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., rotating through the four communities involved in the league. The games are played in all weather conditions, which at times can be very cold. No official scores are kept in the games, although the players are always aware of how their team is doing. “It’s hockey the way it was meant to be played, on an outdoor rink,� says Constance

What’s in Store for the Market in 2017? The Canadian housing market is expected to cool off in 2017, but that’s not a bad thing. The market has been hot for the last few years and many feared a crash was imminent. While the market is set to stabilize, a crash is not predicted. HOME PRICES ARE EXPECTED TO GO UP Home prices are expected to increase 2% in 2017. (1) HOME RESALES ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE SLIGHTLY Home resales are expected to decrease 3.7% in 2017. (1) MARKETS ARE PREDICTED TO MODERATE Nationally, affordability is consistent with historic norms. While affordabilityrelated risks may increase in Vancouver and Toronto, both markets are showing signs of cooling. The good news: experts predict the risk of a widespread and steep downturn in the housing market over the next 12 months is low. (3) IT’S A SELLER’S MARKET IN MANY AREAS However, most markets are considered balanced. In the largest markets, demand “outstrips” supply. Heavy construction of condos in Vancouver and Toronto is seen as a way of cooling the market.
NEW MORTGAGE RULES MAY COOL HOME SALES Experts say the new rules enacted by the Canadian government last fall may dampen home sales since they affect the largest segment of the Canadian mortgage market. Under the rules, all high-ratio mortgage borrowers will have to qualify at the 5-year benchmark rate. It’s expected that one in five home sales will be affected by the changes. However, the changes aren’t expected to cause a crash. (2) Source: (1) RBC Home Resale and Price Forcast. (2) RBC Monthly Housing Marketing Update (3) RBC Canadian Housing Health Check
3 REASONS TO TAKE HOUSING PREDICTIONS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT 1. All real estate is local. What’s going on in the national market may not be an accurate reflection of what’s going on in our market. If you want to know about our local market and what your home is work, give me a call! I’ll be happy to answer all of your real estate questions. 2. The future is uncertain. Experts estimate future market trends based on current statistics and historical
trends. In other words, they use past and current data to find clues as to what might happen next. However, national and global events can have an unforeseen impact on the economy, including the housing market. While experts may predict one thing now, the reality could turn out to be very different. 3. Buying and selling is a personal choice. If you’re ready to buy or sell a home, your decision may rely on factors other than the state of the market. For example, family changes and job relocations are two of the most common reasons people move. While it’s smart to consider the state of the market when you’re thinking of buying or selling, in the end, if you think it’s a good time, then it’s a good time.
THINKING OF BUYING OR SELLING? Why buy? 1. You want to own a home of your own. 2. Circumstances are right. 3. There are lots of homes for sale in your market. Why sell? 1. You’ve outgrown your home. 2. You want to live closer to family or friends. 3. You’re relocating for a job.

Season-ending hockey day at arena in Carp Continued from page 3
Individual communities involved with the league usually hold an end-of-season banquet for their teams, with the players receiving special season-end surprises such as hats and medals. This year, because so many games were lost due to mild weather affecting the outdoor rinks, the league held a season-ending hockey day involving all four communities (Constance Bay, Fitzroy, Dunrobin and Carp) on the indoor ice at the W. Erskine Johnston Arena in Carp on Saturday, March 11. Four hours of games were
played, providing the players with the treat of playing on the artificial ice of the indoor arena. In addition, after every game, players got to enjoy pizza and receive year-end surprises in the outdoor rink building next to the arena. This was the first time that the outdoor league had rented indoor ice for such a season-ending wrap-up. It turned out to be a huge success thanks to the hard work of the community leads and volunteer coaches. See ONLY TWO, page 5

Masking the cost of hydro
O
ur hydro bills may be going down this summer, but don’t pop the bubbly just yet. While Ontario residents will see an average 25 per cent reduction on the bottom line, what they won’t see is what it’s going to cost future generations and the current structural inefficiencies and ongoing bad planning that make electricity expensive for us in the first place. Premier Kathleen Wynne announced the savings this month saying it was the fair thing to do. She heard from families struggling with their bills and struggling to understand why rates have skyrocketed. Unfortunately, because the history of hydro and its mismanagement is such a long and complicated one, politicians looking to distract would-be voters benefit from its current complexity. People don’t get it and don’t have the time, the comprehension or the willingness to figure it out. What they do get is how hard it is to pay a huge bill. So Wynne’s Liberals are waving a shiny 25 per cent hydro cut over here, while over there, our expensive hydro system continues to plod along. The lower bills come from refinancing the
term of payment the province owes to private power providers — from 20 years to 30. So we’re deferring costs to future generations in order to get some immediate relief. And we’re incurring about $25 billion in extra interest charges over that time. Additional relief will be coming through lowincome and rural subsidy programs, but that too comes at a cost of $2.5 billion over the next three years charged to Ontario’s treasury and taxpayers. As tempting as it is to celebrate lower bills, with an election year in 2018, we need to hold all parties to account to do more than float distractions. Ontario generates more power than it knows what to do with and we’re forced to sell it to our neighbours at a discounted rate. Sometimes we have to pay for them to take it. The sale of Hydro One has locked us into guaranteed contracts with private power providers whether we need that power or not. There’s little transparency as to the details of private contracts and that takes accountability right out of the system. We need a comprehensive plan and a system overhaul. Keep that in mind when you’re told to celebrate your June power bill. It’s not nearly enough.

Letter: Green Energy Act is not the problem Editor: In MPP Jack MacLaren’s column, “The Latest Hydro Hoax”, in the March 17 West Carleton Review, he rightly expresses outrage at our government’s shell game of reducing current electricity bills without doing anything to reduce the actual costs of electricity, but instead borrowing from future generations to pay the bills. We all know, after years of paying debt retirement charges, how sustainable that is. It falls in the same category as selling off Hydro One’s assets to pay current bills, and that was engineered by the same actors in Queen's Park. However, Jack is wrong to blame the Green Energy Act as the problem to be abolished. Green energy costs are steadily going down, at least for solar and wind generation, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
Fossil fuel and nuclear plant costs have bottomed out and can only rise in the future. This isn’t just my opinion; a quick Google search will turn up several reports showing these trends, from organizations like the U. S. Department of Energy, the OECD, and the Pembina Institute. So let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water. The movement to green energy is good and Ontario’s move in this direction is part of a worldwide trend that won’t stop. The Ontario government’s implementation has been, and continues to be, terribly flawed. As I have said previously, our future success requires the introduction of much more competition in the electricity system, starting with opening the system more to competition from
Celebrations for Canada’s 150th SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
This year is Canada’s 150th anniversary year, and that means that Canada Day on July 1 this year will be a special day as this milestone is celebrated. Canada Day is going to be celebrated in a special way in both Corkery and Dunrobin this year, as the Corkery Community Association for Corkery and the Dunrobin Community Association for Dunrobin are planning Canada Day festivities on Saturday, July 1.
Book Chat at library in the Bay on last Monday of month SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Drop into the Constance Bay branch of the Ottawa Public Library for a Book Chat on the last Monday of every month at 7 p.m. (one hour). Runs until June 26. For more information, please check out www.BiblioOttawaLibrary. ca.
The Kinburn Fun Day presented by the Kinburn Community Association on June 24 will also be an occasion to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Another event in West Carleton that will no doubt help commemorate the occasion is the movie nights that are being presented at the Diefenbunker on Aug. 11 and Aug. 12. No doubt as Canada Day comes closer, more events and activities celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday will be organized and held throughout West Carleton.

new generators of electricity, then to new carriers. Our current system of regulated monopoly simply leads to inefficient, high cost operators, because they are guaranteed a return above whatever they can convince the Ontario Energy Board they have as costs. All those plum executive jobs exist for a reason, and it isn’t because the job holders are remarkably brilliant. I have also pointed out that the real costs of delivering electricity in an area like Fitzroy Harbour are probably much lower than what customers are being billed there. They live close to a long established hydro facility, so costs of generation and distribution are both low. If MPP MacLaren wants to do something about hydro costs for his constituents, shining a spotlight on how bills relate to real costs would be an excellent start. Brian Voss Woodlawn

Ginger, the original difficult cow
I
’ve been doing this ten years now and I still freak out a little when I see blood on freshly fallen snow. When I did the cattle count the other morning, Ginger was missing. I found her in the barn, tucked into a sunny corner. She had just given birth. The calf was still wet. Now, Ginger is one of our original two cows. She and Betty were the pair that taught us all our lessons. A decade later, she is only slightly less ornery than she was when she hopped off the truck and strutted into the barnyard. Ginger is very difficult to deal with but I had to get her and her calf into the pen so that they could bond. The past two years, Ginger has had trouble with her calves. I don’t know if she is getting old or if it’s just her meanness coming out. Two years ago I gave up on her feeding the calf, let her out of the pen and kept the calf in the barn to feed him every day. When he was old enough to eat hay and grass on the meadow we let him out to join the herd. Ginger seemed to recognize him, and looked after him all day, but he never nursed. He stayed about half as big as the other calves, but he survived to market time. Last year once again Ginger’s calf
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife didn’t seem to understand how to nurse. He wouldn’t take the bottle, either. But after some coaxing and coddling, by some miracle one night, he latched on to mama and didn’t let go until his belly was full. Once he had that figured out it was off to the races. Now I feel like we are in exactly the same spot again, trying to get a calf to do what is supposed to come naturally. We’ve given him extra selenium and vitamins. We’ve fed him colostrums and we just forced him to swallow a few ounces of milk replacer. Ginger grunted at him and tried to reach me with her big head as I stood in the aisle, straddling her calf. I had a rope around his neck and one leg, to hold him steady and backed him into a corner so he couldn’t escape. I put the bottle in his mouth and he just lolled his tongue around it without sucking. He clamped down with his teeth once in a while and I was squeezing the nipple of the bottle so he did get some milk. I heard him swallow a few times. If we are going to keep him alive, this is going to be quite a battle. When this happened to lambs from time to time we would intubate them to fill their stomachs. I hate doing that — it looks so darned uncomfortable. Even after
you’ve gone to that extreme, you have to hope they are going to get a burst of appetite and snap out of their slump, because you can’t keep sticking a tube down their throats. Mom does all she can to lead the calf to her udder, and we’ve got them in a small pen so they are constantly together. Now we just have to sit back and let nature take its course. Probably one of my least favourite references to farming. The other calf that arrived last Sunday seems to have a bit of a gimpy leg. She’s kind of cute, dancing around her mother in the pen. Her belly is clearly fat and full of milk. We have never witnessed her feeding but she obviously does. She and her mom seem quite interested in Ginger’s predicament. They seemed to be listening carefully when the Farmer was speaking to her. We have had quite a few female calves born this year. We have five left to come. With our pasture able to sustain about a dozen cattle, it may be time to say goodbye to some of the older ones who are no longer able to produce healthy calves. It’s a reality of farming: not a very nice one, but there it is.
Canadian Foodgrains Bank info meeting in Woodlawn SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
You can learn how to advocate locally for an end to global hunger at an upcoming meeting in Woodlawn. Canadian Foodgrains Bank is holding its 2017 spring information meeting at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Woodlawn on Saturday, April 8 at 10:30 a.m. Everyone is most welcome to attend. At the meeting, you will learn about what is going on with growing projects in the Woodlawn area, as well as how citizens can advocate locally for an end to global hunger. During the presentation, those in attendance will learn about the link between family farmers and global hunger, and about the challenges that farmers face in developing countries. St. Thomas Anglican Church is located at 3794 Woodkilton Rd., at the corner of Kinburn Side Road. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a partnership of 15 Canadian churches and church-based agencies, working together to end global hunger by supporting programs to meet immediate food needs, influencing national and international policies, and increasing engagement of Canadians in their efforts. Canadian Foodgrains Bank projects are implemented by member agencies in the developing world. Each year, work is done to end hunger in about 40 countries. International projects fall into three categories: food assistance projects; agriculture and livelihood programs: and nutrition projects. In Canada, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank works for changes in public policy that will enable families and communities to better feed themselves.

AGM coming up for Friends of the Carp Hills BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
If you want to see the Carp Hills preserved for the benefit of nature and the community, then you should mark down Tuesday, March 28 on your calendar. That’s when the Friends of the Carp Hills are holding their annual general meeting at 7 p.m. at the Memorial Hall in Carp. This annual general meeting will be followed by a public briefing, where the group’s activities and plans for 2017 will be discussed. Everyone is welcome to attend this annual general meeting and public briefing. However, only members in good standing will be able to vote on the budget and the board of director candidates. But, anyone in attendance will find out what has been happening and what is going to be happening. You will be able to provide feedback, and you will also be able to find out how you can help and get involved. Friends of the Carp Hills was formed in late 2013, because of the threat posed by expanding development to the preservation of both the wild areas and the public recreational use of the Carp Hills. Thanks to the efforts of volunteers, donors, the community and local businesses since then, there is a new trail on public land; a strong volunteer base; a partnership with a local land trust and with a national organization; an active Facebook page; and over 200 subscribers to a newsletter. This shows that people care about the Carp Hills. In 2016, Friends of the Carp Hills and other volunteers changed the organization’s name to the Friends of the Carp Hills, to better reflect the area that is being protected. The organization was opened up to public membership. A public meeting was held in March 2016, and two ecological and geological tours along the Crazy Horse Trail were held in May. Those on the tours learned that the composition of the underlying bedrock determines what types of plants like to grow in a particular spot. The trail offers a stark contrast between calcareous (lime) loving forest plants at its beginning and plants that tolerate acid poor soils, as the bedrock changes abruptly from marble

to mainly monzonite and gneiss. The Carp Hills are a special area of the Canadian Shield which are unique within the city of Ottawa. The Carp Hills are also designated a wetland complex, because they support a large number of interconnected provincially-significant wetlands. Thanks to grant funding from the Community Foundation of Ottawa, the Friends of the Carp Hills enhanced the Crazy Horse Trail experience in 2016 by adding a 200 foot long boardwalk across a wet area, building a bridge across a channel, adding trail markers, opening new side trails, and installing a trailhead sign on March Road. New trail maps were also published. A total of 177 hours of volunteer work was logged on the trail in 2016. The official opening of Crazy Horse Trail was held in October with the unveiling of the trailhead sign, followed by a guided hike. Two interpretive guides were completed for the Crazy Horse Trail, which are now available for download from the group’s website. In 2016, the Friends of the Carp Hills began an outreach to interested landowners to discuss conservation on their properties. Partners in this initiative were the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust and Ducks Unlim-
ited Canada. The Friends of the Carp Hills’ Facebook page grew to 256 members by the end of 2016. Four newsletters were sent out during 2016, and an open house was held for Hidden Lake residents in February. In 2016, the Friends of the Carp Hills also began documenting the flora and fauna of the Carp Hills using iNaturalist. The Friends of the Carp Hills are a group of volunteers dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the Carp Hills. It is not an advocacy group, but rather a group that is working collaboratively with landowners, the City of Ottawa, government agencies, businesses and community groups to preserve areas of wilderness for conservation and public access in the Carp Hills. The executive of this nonprofit, community organization as listed on the group’s website includes Janet Mason as chair, Judy Makin as secretary, Brian Roadhouse as treasurer, Greg LeBlanc as director-at-large, Chris Busby as communications officer, Bernard Proulx as trail co-ordinator, and Maureen Rae as history of the hills curator.

Vision is to preserve Carp Hills for nature and the community ares (9,600 acres). The City of Ottawa’s Official Plan designates the Carp Hills as a natural environment area with significant wetlands. It is zoned Environmental Protection 3, which limits existing lots that have road access to one dwelling and an associated outbuilding. The Carp Hills consist of Precambrian gneiss, granite and marble. A 1992 report describes the Carp Hills as follows: “The Carp Hills … is … a forested upland containing a
Continued from page 11
The Carp Hills are a three to four kilometre band of mostly forested Canadian Shield that rises above fertile farm land. Its southernmost expression is the South March Highlands, but the area runs approximately 13 kilometres from the southeast at March Road to the northwest at Kinburn Side Road in West Carleton. These highlands, in the former township of Huntley, are sandwiched between Carp Road and Marchurst Road, comprising an area of over 3,900 hect-
large number of shallow beaver ponds connected by small and/or intermittent streams between thinly soiled uplands supporting young to submature early successional deciduous and mixed forest (Red Maple, Sugar Maple, White Spruce, Trembling Aspen, White Birch, Bur Oak, Red Oak). Several great blue heron colonies are known from such ponds, which are also utilized by a variety of breeding mammals and waterfowl.” On either side of the Thomas Dolan Parkway lies a unique area of
the Carp Hills called the Carp Barrens — a sparsely vegetated outcrop of Canadian Shield dotted with small ponds. A 1992 report about the Carp Barrens reads as follows: “The Carp Barrens is dominated by the most extensive, best-expressed complex of granite bedrock on the Carp Ridge and in the site district … Canadian Shield plants otherwise uncommon or rare in the (city of Ottawa) are common here.” The vision of the Friends of the
Carp Hills is to preserve the Carp Hills for the benefit of nature and the community in perpetuity. The stated mission of the Friends of the Carp Hills is to forge a partnership of private landowners, community groups, local residents, organizations, businesses, the City of Ottawa and other levels of government, working together to create an eco-connected area of wilderness conservation and public access in the Carp Hills.

April is shaping up as a busy month at the Western Ottawa Community
Men’s Ministry in Fitzroy Harbour SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Those attending the March 11 Men’s Ministry breakfast meeting in Fitzroy Harbour learned about the ancient city of Ephesus. This was thanks to Vace Kurt, who was the guest speaker at the meeting. Ephesus was an ancient Greek city in what is now Turkey, with the city flourishing in the centuries before the birth of Christ. It was famous for the nearby Temple of Artemis, which was completed around 550 BC and was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The importance of Ephesus declined a couple of centuries after the birth of Christ. The ruins of Ephesus are a favourite international and local tourist attraction. Ephesus was an important centre for early Christianity starting in about 50 AD. The apostle Paul lived in Ephesus from 52-54 AD. Since the 19th century, the House of the Virgin Mary near Ephesus has been considered to have been the last home of Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the Roman Catholic tradition. It is a popular place of Catholic pilgrimage today.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills
Honouring Our Veterans For too long, Veterans have been unable to provide to the public, to their families, and to their work, a reliable and well known form of identification that proves their service. This is why I am bringing forward a called the Honouring Our Veterans Act 2017 I’m suggesting that the driver’s license be modified with a small yellow stripe bearing the word ‘Veteran’. The same would go for Ontario Identification Cards for those who don’t have a driver’s license. This modification will be optional, of course, and it would be an easy and inexpensive way to recognize Veterans in our province. The benefits of the Honouring our Veterans Act are many, whether proving years of service in the military to secure a new job, or so that our first responders can know right away that they are helping a Veteran in need. Businesses may be open to using this identification to provide specific products or services to Veterans, and may even go so far as to offer them discounts. The simple justification for the Honouring our Veterans Act is this: Veterans served on our behalf in some of the most dangerous places on the planet. They return home and hand in their equipment. But they don’t forget about their service, and neither should we. It’s time to list Veteran on their government identification. My Bill will be debated in the Ontario legislature on March 30th. Stay posted for further details!

The Carp Road Corridor BIA has a new budget and a success plan to build on. The Business Improvement Area members, which represents more than 370 businesses and property owners in West Carleton, recently endorsed its 2017 budget at its annual general meeting. And for the fourth straight year the budget will stay at $115,000, raised by a levy on members. The budget will support the employment of an executive director, the use of consultants to advise on issues, promotion expenses and meeting expenses. The BIA covers 700-plus acres of zoned light industrial and highway commercial land, and represents about 3,000 workers in the area. The corridor enjoys surface transportation access to highways 417 and 416, as well as proximity to the Carp Municipal Airport. As reported, during the past five years BIA successes have included zoning changes, an improved plan for future four lanes on Carp Road north of Highway 417, a lower stormwater fee, road and drainage improvements and reduced area requirements for new septic beds. The business group continues to advocate for other business issues along the corridor, such as water service, employee transportation services, area security, directional and business signage and time and cost concerns regarding new development and redevelopment. Roddy Bolivar, executive director of the BIA, can be contacted at 613314-7597 or via email at roddy.bolivar@crcbia.ca.

Ottawa Valley Silver Seven players at monument ceremony BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
Hockey’s top prize will always have a place to call home in Ottawa. One hundred and twenty-five years ago, Canada’s then governor general Lord Stanley of Preston, a hockey dad himself, bought a silver cup for 10 Guineas, or $50 Canadian at the time. At the corner of Elgin and Sparks Streets, he gifted this cup to Canada’s top-ranking amateur hockey club. In 1926, the National Hockey League adopted the cup, christening it the Stanley Cup, and made it the top prize in professional hockey. Now, steps away from where Stanley originally handed over the cup, a monument to mark the gift is going to be erected. For the organizing committee, Lord Stanley’s Gift Monument, this monument will act as a place to forever mark the original gift by Stanley in Canada’s history. On March 18, Canada’s current Governor General David Johnston was on hand at a groundbreaking ceremony at the site of this monument. “My predecessor Lord Stanley would be so pleased to see us here, at the corner of Elgin and Sparks Streets in Ottawa. The heart of Canada’s capital is a fitting place for this monument,” Johnston said at the ceremony. Johnston went on to say the cup is a symbol of Canada, of excellence, of grit, grace and hard work.
“This monument honours the legacy and will further cement the Stanley Cup’s place in the life of our country,” he said. Commenting on the unique tradition of the cup where players and staff from the winning team each get time to spend with the cup, ultimately having the cup go all over the world, Johnston said he thinks this new monument will offer people from all over Canada and the world who visit it a chance to share in the glory of the Stanley Cup. Braving the cold morning temperatures on March 18, young hockey players from the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven donned jerseys to represent the teams of the NHL at the ceremony.. Proud moms Joanne McNally of Carp and Mandy Vanvliet of Stittsville said it was a great opportunity for their boys to participate in. “I think they would rather be cold and celebrating this part of history than not be here,” McNally said. George Hunter, president of Lord Stanley’s Gift Monument, took the moment to reflect on the hockey dream and those of the boys standing in front of him. “The monument, the ground-breaking for the which we celebrate today is all about dreams,” Hunter said, adding that the simple bowl in which Stanley purchased has gone on to represent the ultimate achievement and dream in hockey. According to the committee, the historic, simple silver bowl donated by Stanley is what inspired the winning design for the sculpture.
The sculpture will rise from a white paved “hockey rink” with imbedded stainless steel lines evoking skate marks and 39 granite discs engraved with the names of the Stanley Cup winners from 1893 to 2017. A 1.4 metre black granite bench in the form of a “hockey puck” will complete the ensemble.
The monument will be donated to the city and unveiled in December 2017. The unveiling will be part of the 2017 celebrations of Canada’s 150th anniversary, the 100th anniversary of the National Hockey League, and the 25th anniversary of the Ottawa Senators.

City takes issue with Carp dump accepting material from Quebec BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland .com
Local councillors are firmly behind an effort by the city to challenge a provincial government decision that allows construction and demolition waste from Quebec to be shipped to the landfill that operates in Carp. Waste Management’s West Carleton Environmental Centre has gotten the green light from the province’s Ministry of
the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) to accept construction and demolition debris from some western Quebec communities. Besides adding out-of-province waste to the facility’s intake, which the city has always been against, there is also concern that that could add to the already heavy large truck traffic that flows through the city’s roadways. “I am of the view that, while it may prove to be a procedural
challenge, the city should seek leave to appeal the MOECC’s decision in this instance,� a memo from city clerk and solicitor Rick O’Connor states. “In providing this opinion, I met with Mayor (Jim) Watson, Ward Councillor (Eli) El-Chantiry and Councillor (Shad) Qadri, who were all supportive of this appeal in an effort to defend council’s stated position in this matter, being to restrict waste in Ottawa landfills, originating within the city
limits and from the neighbouring Lanark County,� the memo said. “Therefore, in light of the city’s long standing position on limiting the geographic area from which waste is brought to Ottawa landfills, it is my
view that it would be appropriate to seek leave to appeal the MOECC’s decision in this instance,� according to O’Connor. El-Chantiry is the councillor for Ward 5 West CarletonMarch and Qadri is the coun-
cillor for Ward 6-Stittsville. “I felt that it was important that the city stand by our initial decision in opposing the amendment to the EA,� Qadri said. “I can now affirm that the city is providing a leave to appeal to the province.� EARN up to 3 bonus RBC Rewards points per dollar and EARN even when you REDEEM, only with CWT.

‘JOLT PINK’
carnation a great flower Name: “Jolt Pink” bearded carnation Latin name: Dianthus barbatus “Jolt Pink” Family: Caryophyllaceae Possible colours: Pink Height: 40 to 50 cm Spread: 30-35 cm Exposure: Sun Planting: Rich, cool, welldrained soil Flowering: From June to September
Specific maintenance and care Producers have already won several awards for this variety because it is the most droughttolerant cultivar currently available on the market. To prolong flowering, which is continuous throughout the summer, remove dead flowers; the results will surprise you. Ideally, this carnation should be grown in cool, well-drained soil, but it can tolerate many soil types, from clayey to sandy. Various tests have also found that this flower continues to bloom well even when the weather turns cool in early fall.
Interesting fact This compact, durable carnation with a contemporary look has many advantages: it attracts pollinators, especially butterflies; its flowers are edible
and their pink colour adds a beautiful, decorative touch to your dishes; it looks great in container arrangements as well as flower beds; and it produces big pink flowers on strong stems.

Emily Szabados is one of the West Carleton Skating Club skaters in the Battle of the Blades this Saturday, March 25 at the W. Erskine Johnston Arena.
A Battle of the Blades is happening in Carp this Saturday, May 25. This is when eight pairs of skaters will be competing against each other with figure skating routines, with each pair consisting of a skater from the West Carleton Skating Club and a skater from the West Carleton Minor Hockey Association. This replicates the popular former TV program Battle of the Blades which used to feature a figure skater with an NHL hockey player. This Battle of the Blades in Carp will be held at the W. Erskine Johnston Arena Saturday, March 25 from 6 p.m. to 8
p.m., with everyone welcome to attend. It is being held in support of the West Carleton Food Access Centre, so those attending are being asked to donate a non-perishable food item or make a monetary donation at the door for admission. In this Battle of the Blades in Carp, each skating pair will perform a two to three-minute routine which will be judged by a panel of three judges. These judges will include West Carleton-March city Coun. Eli ElChantiry, West Carleton Minor Hockey Association president Hylton Jorssen and West Carleton Skating Club coach Karen Pearce. Jon Mark (Gonzo) from radio station Boom 99.7 will be the MC for this Battle of the
Blades. There will also be a raffle table and a 50/50 draw held at this Battle of the Blades event. A special attraction at this event will be a guest performance by the Synchro skating team “Starlight Beginners” from the Goulbourn Skating Club. Battle of the Blades was a Canadian figure skating reality show and competition that aired on CBC TV for four seasons from 2009 to 2013. This TV show resembled the reality show Dancing with the Stars with its main attraction being bringing together two different Melody Rochon photo style of skaters, namely hockey players and figure skaters, to Emily Roper is one of the West Carleton perform a figure skating rou- Skating Club skaters participating in the tine together.

How digital photography is affecting nature BY MICHAEL RUNTZ
Most of us enjoy taking pictures of plants and animals. I certainly do and have for many years. But what changes have taken place since I began pressing a shutter release 40 years ago! Until little more than a decade ago, photos were taken on film in tiny canisters. The best films for nature photography were low ISO (“speed’) films, with my favourites being Kodachrome 25
and Fujichrome Velvia 50. The low ISOs meant slow shutter speeds, and I photographed animals such as moose at exposures often ranging from one-fifteenth to one-sixtieth of a second. A tripod was necessary. Then along came digital photography. I was reluctant to change to this unproven format but when I finally did, two things impressed me. First, you saw your photo as soon as you took

it. No more waiting up to a week to see if your exposure was correct or the subject sharply focused. Second, no longer was I confined to slow camera speeds. With digital cameras, 400, 500, and even higher ISO settings allow me to shoot at dramatically higher speeds and capture movement near impossible to record on film. New lenses contained stabilizers that reduced camera shake, making tripod-free photography possible; only for close-ups of insects or flowers do I use one. Digital photography seemed to have no disadvantages. Camera sales grew exponentially, as did the number of people taking nature photos. But it became apparent that there were drawbacks. Computers were needed for image storage and editing (and I don’t like computers). And with the ease of digital photography, neophytes didn’t really have to learn the craft, and most certainly didn’t know their subjects. Unfortunately, many of those (I am loath to call them “photographers”) are driven to attain photos to display on their websites for bragging rights (these remind me of the trophy walls of big game hunters), and they lack respect for their subjects: a photo must be taken at any cost. This type of “photographer” trespasses on private property, harasses animals until they become exhausted or flee, damages habitats to get clearer views of subjects, and feeds foxes or releases mice in front of owls to entice them to approach more closely. The latter activity is called “baiting” and I am not alone in having real problems with that activity. Owls and foxes are not like chickadees with which we can interact without affecting their be-
haviour. Feeding predators makes them lose their natural fear of humans. Baiting wild birds of prey can even get them killed: great grey owls have been hit by cars as they flew across roads toward live bait. Also, there is the point that releasing non-native animals (pet store mice) into the wild is not legal. I’m not saying that I am holier than anyone else who owns a camera. But I do have a profound respect for (and well-founded knowledge of) all things wild, and do my utmost to avoid disturbing them or affecting their environment when taking photographs. Not everyone gives wildlife their due respect, and digital photography has created new and significant problems for them. The nature email is mruntz@start.ca

Patience, not store-bought mice, is what is needed to photograph Great Gray Owls like this one.

had long since forgotten, and I was able to create a host of stories based on their memories. Now, what about Cecil? He is one I am so often asked about. Did he really exist? Was he the scamp I made him out to be? Last year, while making a speech up in the Valley, someone in the audience asked that very question. I pointed to a young man sitting a few tables away and introduced Cecil’s son, Richard, who had come to the event that evening. He agreed his father Cecil was indeed a jokester who liked nothing better than to cause a bit of a stir. Incidentally, one of Cecil’s granddaughters, Janet, works in one of my favourite restaurants in Arnprior. So yes indeed, Cecil did exist. The Northcote School still stands on the Rink Road off Highway 60 between Renfrew and Douglas, and now serves as a community centre. Briscoe’s General Store is still standing, but alas, no longer exists as a stopping place. Our old farm is up the road from that store, but sadly, the only thing left is the barn, which can be seen far off in the distance. Miss Crosby did indeed exist, but with another name. It is my understanding that on her death bed, a few of her last words were, “Don’t let Mary Cook put my name in her books.”

ardly a day goes by that an email doesn’t arrive asking about the people appearing in my stories. The most common question is: “Did they really exist?” “Was there really a Cecil? And what about bad Marguirite and Ronny?” After talking with my editor at this paper, we thought it was time to deviate from my usual story line and enlighten our readers about the people who have become familiar over the years. Needless to say, I won’t be able to write about all of them, but I will try to work in as many as I can in the space I am allowed. Of course, there was my mother and father. And my sister Audrey and brothers Emerson and Everett — and although Earl was really a cousin who came to live with us when his mother and father died at an early age, he was always considered a brother, and is referred to in my stories as one of my three brothers. Aunt Lizzie, Aunt Freda, Uncle Henry, Aunt Vanetta, Aunt Lil, Uncle Lou and cousins Richard, Terry and Ronny were all very real. Sadly, Terry is the only one left. Velma and Joyce were indeed my very best friends at the Northcote School, and we kept in touch right up until their deaths. In fact, both were able to recall for me many happenings I

Bald eagle seen at Carp during snowstorm BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
In mid-afternoon during the snowstorm which hit the area on Tuesday, March 14, Kevin Jackson of Carp heard a fire truck on the nearby Carp Road and glanced out to take a look. And what he saw was not only a fire truck going along the Carp Road but also a bald eagle which had landed in a tree by the nearby Carp River out his back door. He managed to snap a few pictures of the bald eagle as it was flying along the river and Carp Road. Kevin reports that he has seen bald eagles hovering overhead previously. The bald eagle is a bird of prey that is found all across North America. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the United States and northern Mexico. It is usually found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old growth trees for nesting. Whether the Carp River and the nearby Carp Hills qualify for such a preferred habitat, who knows? Perhaps this bald eagle thinks so. The bald eagle is considered a bird which feeds mainly on fish, swooping down and snatching them from the water with its talons. It builds the largest nets of any North American bird. The bald eagle is the national bird of the United States and appears on its official seal. It was considered on the brink of extinction in the late 20th century but populations have since recovered and it is now just on the threatened species list rather than the endangered species list. Occupying varied habitats from Louisiana to the deciduous forests of Quebec, bald eagles in the north are migratory while southern birds remain in their breeding territory all year long. The bald eagle typically requires old growth and mature stands of coniferous or hardwood trees for perching, roosting and nesting. An abundance of comparatively large trees near a body of water is an ideal habitat for bald eagles. The bald eagle is considered a powerful flyer and soars on thermal convection currents. It can reach speeds of up to 70 kilometres per hour when gliding and flapping and about 48 kilometres per hour while carrying fish. Its dive speed is between 120 and 160 kilometres per hour, though it seldom dives vertically. Bald eagles are considered early breeders, laying eggs in late February with incubation usually from mid-March to early May. Eggs hatch from mid-April to early May. The average lifespan of bald eagles in the wild is around 20 years.
All applicants must be a registered business and a valid HST number. Interested candidates must submit their offer of interest via email to: Metroland Media Ottawa Attention: Elliot Tremblay elliot.tremblay@metroland.com Deadline for interest submissions will be received until 12:00 noon Monday, March 27th, 2017 Contract commencing: May 4th, 2017 Lowest or any bids will not necessarily be accepted. Only the successful Candidate(s) will be contacted and not necessary that all areas listed will be awarded.

and she really is a composite of all the bad little girls I went to school with. I appreciate very much all the feedback I get from readers, and I try to answer every email and letter personally. That is, if my computer behaves. I admit, this new technology is not my strong suit. I urge those who may have yet to hear back from me to please write again. Hopefully, this column will have answered your questions about some of the people in my stories, and it has given me the opportunity to thank all of you who have written your appreciation to me over the many years this column has appeared in your weekly paper.
