Police the chief

Snowmobilers to host dinner for landowners

El-Chantiry refuses to resign Jennifer McIntosh

The police services board wants the Ontario Civilian Police Commission to look into the actions of Chief Charles Bordeleau.

The board voted to refer the matter to the commission on March 21 after a tough week for the city’s police service.

Members emailed media and the mayor over their concern about a Jan. 25 incident where the chief called the provincial offences court to find out who was prosecuting his father-in-law.

See Bordeleau page 3

Rural stormwater fee plan raises furor The City of Ottawa’s proposal to implement a stormwater fee for rural residents is attracting a great deal of criticism.

The West Carleton Review has received several letters attacking the plan (see pages 10 to 12) and the first of eight public consultation sessions Monday at the Shenkman Arts Centre attracted a number of residents, almost all critical. The next public session will be held Tuesday, March 29, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the West Carleton Community Complex at 5670 Carp Rd.

The West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association will host an appreciation dinner on April 2 for landowners who allow snowmobilers use of their property.

“Without them we would not have trails in West Carleton,” said trails association president Scott Hamilton. “Around 60 per cent of OFSC (Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs) trails runs on the land that these people graciously allow.”

Hamilton said the association used to host appreciation dinners many years ago and it’s something the board wants to bring back as an annual event.

“We have to reconnect with them,” said Hamilton. “We just want to get them all together and thank them. Snowmobilers can come and thank them personally.

We think it’s important to build that kind of relationship with everyone.”

2 West Carleton Review - Thursday, March 24, 2016

Bordeleau welcomes review of his actions Continued from page 1

As well, Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof said the chief misled the board in July, when it voted in favour of private security at the courthouse.

The association called for the resignation of board chair Eli El-Chantiry, saying he wasn’t properly overseeing the actions of the police.

In his verbal report to the board, Bordeleau said he welcomed a review of his actions.

“I in no way influenced the outcome of a case against my family member,” he said. “There is a procedure for reviewing the actions of any police officer. I welcome that.”

Bordeleau said he’s working with members of the force on improving morale.

He said a survey in 2015 showed that morale is low.

“Feedback from the members said that tenure and staffing were issues and we are working on that,” Bordeleau said.

Aside from staffing, Bordeleau said that he would be working with officers on a patrol advisory committee, to get the perspective of staff who are on the streets.

“It’s different to be a constable back when I was on the street,” Bordeleau said.

“There are a lot of pressures with media and social media.”

Bordeleau said that while oversight is good, officers feel like the tools to do their

Eli El-Chantiry takes media questions after the police services board meeting. job are being taken away or hemmed in.

Police officers – in uniform and in plain clothes – packed the Champlain room, where the March 21 board meeting was held.

Bordeleau said he was glad that officers came out, and while he’s disappointed that some of the issues have played out in public, it shows that people care about the quality of the police service.

“It’s not healthy for the organization, but let’s focus the discussion,” he said, adding concrete measures such as peer supports, hiring of new officers and the patrol advisory committee are being implemented.

Bordeleau and the board chair spoke to the media after the in-camera portion of the regular meeting.

El-Chantiry said it was in the in-cam-

era meeting where the board discussed the review of the chief’s actions.

The motion was voted on publicly after the in-camera session.

El Chantiry said he takes his role as board chair seriously.

“Chief Bordeleau said he welcomes a review,” Chantiry said. “So, in the interest of openness, we will continue forward.”

Chantiry said of the other charge, the board was briefed on all the information about the hiring of private security for the courthouse before the vote.

“We were not in any way misled,” he said, adding both the commission and the office of the independent police review director opted not to proceed with a review of the chief’s actions after Skof made complaints in the summer.

The OIPRD said that Skof was not eligible to make the complaint, it had to be done by a resident, not another officer.

“Two provincial bodies didn’t believe there was merit in pursuing the matter,” El-Chantiry said. “As far as the board is concerned, the matter is closed.”

Late last week in a statement, El-Chantiry rejected calls for his resignation as police board chairman, saying he takes his oversight role seriously and understands the frustrations of the police rank and file.

He said the Ottawa Police officers provide excellent service for Ottawa residents and “I support them in their work.”

Corkery rallies to raise funds for paralyzed neighbour Community seeks items for online charity auction Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Corkery community is rallying around one of its own.

Don Gainforth, who lives on Spruce Ridge, was paralyzed from the shoulders down last December when the ladder he was working from to clean his eavestroughs collapsed beneath him.

Doctors predicted Gainforth would not regain mobility and remain a quadriplegic. Self-employed in the construction industry, Gainforth no longer has an income and “expenses are massive,” according to a Go Fund Me page set up for the family.

“Even upon receiving this extremely heavy news, Don’s immediate response was ‘Well, now I have to prove them wrong.’ Don continues to be strong, faith-filled, and positive through the entirety of this new journey,” according to a post on SUBMITTED the funding page.

The Go Fund Me page (an online donation Don Gainforth is surrounded by family after an accident left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. The Corkery Community Association is looking for items portal) was created to help the Gainforths raise $75,000 to help offset the costs to renovate the for an online auction to help raise funds for the family.

family’s existing home and buy a wheelchairaccessible van, among other essential equipment and home care that will be necessary once Gainforth is able to return home.

He is currently at the Ottawa Rehabilitation Centre with an expected release date of April 25.

As of March 17, more than $38,000 had been raised through 300 donations.

AUCTION

The Corkery Community Association is in the process of collecting items for an online auction to help the family reach its goal.

“We’re going to do everything we can to help him and his family,” said community association vice-president Katherine Woodward. “We’re hoping to raise as much as possible.”

Woodward added she hopes that between the auction and the fundraising page, the $75,000 goal will be reached.

A number of local businesses have already come forward to offer items – including stays at local bed and breakfasts, a golf package, farmraised food, gift certificates for restaurants, snow blowing for next winter, and health services among others.

“We’ve been primarily targeting local business, but if we could get those things that go a little beyond our community that would be fantastic,” said Woodward. “It would be nice to get Sens (hockey) tickets, maybe some NAC tickets, maybe some nice restaurant vouchers.”

The online auction will take place April 10 to 17, and winning bidders will be contacted at the end of the auction.

For more information on the online auction, visit dongainforth.eflea.ca and corkerycommunity.ca. To donate directly to the family, visit gofundme.com/don-gainforth.

To donate an item to the auction or for more details, email corkerycommunication@gmail. com.

Snowmobile trails thanks to landowners Continued from page 1

Hamilton said the trails association has increased its number of volunteers this year, allowing them more opportunities to get out and meet landowners in the area.

During the dinner, the association will also talk about its thoughts on provincial Bill 100 which deals with trail easements. Are landowners group have held meetings to express concerns about the proposed provincial legislation that it maintains could threaten

property-owners’ rights.

“The OFSC and the WCSTA, we have no intention of pursuing easements on anybody’s properties,” said Hamilton. “If any folks have concerns or questions, there’s a link on the OFCA website that explains in more detail our position.”

He said the trails association will continue to use its traditional land use agreement.

“We want to clear the air; we’re not going to be pursuing any kind of easement on any-

body’s property,” he said.

DINNER

The dinner is free for landowners in Mississippi Mills and West Carleton who allow the use of trails on their properties.

A small fee will apply to snowmobilers to help offset the costs, said Hamilton.

The dinner, hosted in conjunction with ward councillor Eli El-Chantiry, includes spaghetti and dessert, as well as all non-alcoholic drinks. A

With spring there is always a change of life beginning anew.

The choice is yours to jump onboard and start this spring different. Make a change in your diet, cleanse your body!

Spring is the absolute best time to do so. And also get rid of anything in life that doesn’t serve you…i.e. make a choice to put yourself first…love yourself enough to walk away from people who abuse you, who pull you down, who judge you…simply from everyone who leaves you with a bad vibe or empty inside.That is part of our soul/ spiritual cleansing.We can’t be truly healthy without making sure we have everything in life that serves us… to feel well, be well, have lots of energy, passionate ambition in order to be who we are meant to be. Everything doesn’t only include a healthy diet, the knowledge of proper nutrition, the kind of nutrition that actually rebuilds us and fuels us to become a successful rocket “star” in our own means.

Enjoy a strong immune system and develop a backbone that makes you join the “No” train. Start saying “No” to whatever doesn’t serve you anymore. Make very selective choices…remember the choice is yours…you can’t blame anybody else for any of your situations…as much as we’d like to sometimes…believe me, I know…lol…

All bark, no bite in pet shop bylaw

T

he city is considering a bylaw change that would address that infamous scourge: the pet shop.

A city committee is considering a bylaw amendment to force pet shops to get their dogs, cats and rabbits from non-commercial sources. That would make local animal shelters the only legal source of these animals.

Firstly, it seems silly to have a bylaw for these stores. Are pet shops a public danger that needs to be controlled? All 16 of them?

Secondly, the change would not affect the three pet shops in the city that sell animals from commercial breeders. Those three shops would be grandfathered. Nothing changes.

As one pet store owner has asked, what happens if she wants to sell her store or hand it on to her kids? Does the grandfathering disappear and the bylaw dictate where the animals can come from? A 2011 Ipsos Reid survey suggested that less than seven per cent of pet owners acquire a pet from commercial breeders.

No one is arguing that many animals are surrendered to shelters, and that puppy mills, where female dogs are constantly being bred exist. But to target stores like Pet World and Little Critters,

simply distracts from the real problem – and finding the right solution.

Karen Greenberg, who has owned Little Critters in the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre for decades, says she has used the same six or seven breeders for the last 20 years. She has toured their facilities and knows she isn’t dealing with any puppy mills. “But we are the only avenue the city can control,� she said of the bylaw.

Greenberg said the campaign from animal activists insinuates that shops like hers perpetuate the puppy industry. And it’s simply not true.

The people who own and operate pet shops deserve to be allowed to do so with the minimum amount of supervision unless they’ve proven to be uncontrollable maniacs bent on harming the public. And that they are not.

The discussion paper put out by the city on the topic says the stores are already inspected by bylaw and Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals agents. “The city typically receives very few complaints about pet shops,� the report reads.

So what problem are we solving exactly?

Seems to us that the city might be barking up the wrong tree.

Not a moment’s peace

O

n a driving trip in the U.S. recently I had a chance to discover some new developments that will be coming our way soon and that we will be able to view with alarm when they arrive This has nothing to do with politics, by the way, although several American friends did volunteer that they might consider moving in our direction should certain developments take place and you can probably figure what they are.

The thing that we should all view with alarm may have already arrived in Canada but I haven’t seen it yet. I’m talking about television at the gas pump.

io, you selected premium gasoline and a voice said “Are you sure you want premium?� Actually, you did, but that didn’t make the moment any less disturbing.

But this isn’t like that. Looking warily over your shoulder you see movement on the little gas pump screen, where usually you see the message asking if you’d like a car wash. The movement turns out to be the image of a person, Jimmy Fallon, in fact, who is doing part of last night’s monologue. Then there is something else, then some advertising, of course.

All the time, you’re trying to concentrate on pumping gas, which, fortunately, does not take much in the way of concentration.

So that’s it. Add gas pumps to the growing list of places where corporate decision-makers think we need to be entertained. It is nothing new to have music at gas pumps, but this adds an entirely new dimension.

Inevitably, there will be some who are grateful. The gas pump is one of the last stare-into-space places left in North America.

You stand there, holding onto the nozzle and look at the numbers moving, and so slowly too. You could turn and look somewhere else, but all you’d see would be your car, or someone else’s car.

You are bored out of your mind, just want it to be over. Worse, it is costing you money.

Somewhere in the world, to be sure, are people who value this moment, who meditate, plan, luxuriate in the nothingness of the moment. For the rest of us, TV is coming.

Signs of its inevitability are all around us. There are roadside restaurants where you can feed quarters into little TV sets to make them play.

There are TV screens over urinals. There is music being pumped into the out-of-doors from inside

shopping malls. So far there is neither music nor television in the forest, but soon someone will recognize that lack and move to correct it.

Already, wifi is being available in national parks.

Further outrages can’t be far away, unless staring into space increases its political popularity.

Lucy and Linda the closet eater Accidental Famrwife

On Thursday morning the Farmer pointed out the kitchen window toward the thorn bushes lining the stone fence.

“Do you see that cow? She’s hiding from the heifer.”

No, I did not see the cow. She was that good at this game. Then I saw the bushes move.

Not a very comfortable place to hide, I’m sure. But the pregnant cow was anxious to get away from her year-old calf, who was nearly big as her but still suckling.

“That cow is going to calve today,” the Farmer declared. Sure enough, when I got home from work the light was on in the horse stable-turned-newborn-centre.

The calf was big and healthy, but

the cow did not appear happy. She was bawling to be let out, probably because spring is in the air. She can smell the earth and wants to go for a wander through the meadow. But first she had a calf to feed.

The cow was nice enough to let the Farmer steal some colostrum, and this he fed to the new calf with a syringe because she didn’t seem to be interested in her mother’s udder. There was a lot of sidling up and nuzzling for comfort but no apparent feeding.

The Farmer also gave an injection of Selenium with Vitamin E, as our soil is deficient in this part of Eastern Ontario. That shot usually gets them up and suckling.

Not in this case. And yet, the calf remained strong. The next day, we struggled to feed her with a bottle.

She stood for us, then bucked and

bronced her way out of our grasp.

When we put the bottle in her mouth she didn’t suck. She just chomped and spit and drooled, wasting the milk. It was so weird.

The calf peed and had bowel movements, so we knew she got something, but from where?

“She must be suckling from her mother when we aren’t looking,” reasoned the Farmer. “But it’s really strange that she doesn’t have a sucking reflex on the bottle.”

I offered my expert opinion.

“Maybe she hates the taste and feel of the bottle. And the milk replacer.”

When the calf was 48 hours old, I went to the barn again, early morning. The calf stood to greet me, or to prepare an exit. She circled her mother and even sniffed under her at the udder but never

Notice of Study Commencement North Island Link Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design The City of Ottawa has initiated the North Island Link (NIL) Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) and Functional Design Study. The main objective of this study is to link the existing watermain on Rideau Valley Drive to the proposed Manotick Watermain Link at the north end of Long Island. The NIL will provide additional capacity and reliability of water supply to the urban area south of the Jock River.

The project is identified in the City’s current Infrastructure Master Plan.

The Process The study is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class EA (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015). In order to satisfy the requirements of the Class EA process, the identification and evaluation of a range of alternatives will be undertaken that focus on potential watermain alignments and connections with the existing watermain infrastructure in Manotick. The study will also include the selection of a preferred alternative and a functional design of the NIL as well as a functional design of a watermain that will provide a secondary water supply to residents of Hillside Gardens in Manotick.

Consultation Information about the project will be available on ottawa.ca/northislandlink. Interested persons can provide comments at any time during the Class EA process. With the exception of personal information, comments received become part of the public record.

Upon completion of this study, a report will be available for public review and comment.

A Notice of Study Completion will be published at that time.

when he tried to milk her once. She will eat right out of my hand now.

The other day she was lying on a sunny pile of hay beside the feeder and let me pet her for about 10 minutes. In previous years she would let me get within five feet of her, then bounce up and away.

Our three little calves that are already outside spend sunny afternoons curled up beside or inside the hay feeder. I sat beside the red one and put his sleepy head in my lap. He stayed there a few minutes until a bird call woke him up.

Imagine his surprise to see he was sleeping on me. He jumped straight up in the air and took off bawling for his mother.

Spring is here and the animals are so happy they can walk the well-beaten path over the rocky terrain to the meadow. They pick the highest, driest and sunniest spot for their afternoon naps.

latched on.

When the Farmer went out a few hours later, he couldn’t catch her suckling either. He went out again after dark and snuck in quietly.

The calf was under the mother. No feeding was happening.

The calf is now three days old and we have yet to see it eat. It’s the weirdest thing. I think we will have to keep it inside until we witness a feeding – although if the calf is strong enough to get up and walk around – it even bounced across the stall today – then it’s safe to assume it’s getting something.

Mysteries on the farm.

That’s four down, eight to go.

So far, so good. All calves born are strong and healthy. And eating. As far as we know. Ginger is about the size of a Mack truck, so I assume she will be going next.

She followed me around the barnyard today until I gave her the apple in my hand. She’s come a long way from the suspicious Hereford who tried to kill the Farmer

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Confederation Line East Light Rail Transit Extension

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

The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing Light Rail Transit Network.

Specifically the plan includes extending the future Confederation Line further east from Blair Station to an interim terminal at Place d’Orléans station and, ultimately, to Trim Road (see Ottawa.ca/easternlrt or Ottawa.ca/tlrest for further information).

The plan includes options to service the community of Orleans and adjacent lands. New stations will be located at Montreal Road, Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard, Orléans Boulevard and the terminal station at Place d’Orléans. Additional stations will ultimately be constructed at Brisebois Crescent/Mockingbird Drive (Orleans Town Centre), east of Tenth Line Road and the terminus of the line at Trim Road. Preliminary engineering review has resulted in design refinements to the alignment between Blair Station and Montreal Road Station. These changes have no additional environmental impact, reduce implementation costs, and have been incorporated into the Environmental Project Report.

To the Editor: In rural areas the only impediments to the “natural” flow of storm water are roadways.

Hence ditches and culverts along and under roadways.

For rural areas it makes more sense to have storm water services associated with road maintenance than it does to associate them with non-existent water supply and sewer services.

The rural examples that Eli El-Chantry repeats are examples of flooded roadways.

The idea that multiple city departments might be involved in addressing a problem such as a flooded road is inefficient and costly; it’s an urban model. Before amalgama-

tion, I’m sure that these problems were paid for by one budget allocation in rural areas most like road maintenance.

I’m concerned about having new additions to my taxes coming from, a department that really should be providing no services to rural areas, and could in the future, play allocation games between rural and urban customers.

I already pay for roadways, and that makes sense. I don’t disagree with paying a fair share, but I’d rather it go to road maintenance and have them to take care of rural roadways and storm water issues.

Terry Lalonde Dunrobin

Rural residents mistreated in city Impacts to private property are not anticipated as the preferred alternative for the East LRT alignment is entirely within the right-of-way of Highway 174.

The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an Environmental Project Report (EPR) prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The EPR documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program.

The EPR for the Confederation Line East LRT Extension project will be available for a 30-day public review period starting March 24, 2016 at the locations noted below during their regular business hours.

10 West Carleton Review - Thursday, March 24, 2016

To the Editor: Re. West Carleton Review dated March 17.

So reading the articles about new City water rate structure and Harmonized Hydro rates petition - rural residents are continuing to get it in our wallets by amalgamation and the lack of real concern by the city mayor and councillors, in particular the councillor for Ward 5.

It seems easier for him to justify increasing

Local movie listings Local event listings Local news and opinion Used cars in our area Full local business directory Local classified listings Daily deals from WagJag Links to local announcements and apartment rentals

our taxes for “storm water infrastructure” but sees little advantage to continuing to harmonize our Hydro rates - to make that a level playing field.

He is very good at making excuses, and not for fighting for us.

When, if ever, will rural residents be treated fairly?

Stormwater debate raises many unanswered questions To the Editor: Jessica Cunha’s March 17 article (West Carleton Review) provides some insights into the reasons why a new formula to recover storm water costs is required.

An intelligent discussion is only possible if you have all the facts.

Here are some thoughts as to why we may not have all the facts.

1) Are we talking about storm water and sewer issues or storm water only. Yesterday’s Sun indicated that we are talking about the sewers as well.

2) If $8 million is to be spent on rural storm water issues in 2016, why does the city only wish to collect $2 million?

3) With the city recovering the $2 million at $5 to $6 per rural home, where and how did the rural area have 3 to 400,000 homes?

4) Since our urban friends have been footing this bill since amalgamation, will they be refunded their over payment of about $100 million in property taxes over the past 15 years?

5) Reviewing the backdrop to this issue, the $5-6 per rural home is to be a standard regardless as to how many acres you own.

Reason cited was that a 100-acre farm land acts as a sponge. What about all the farm lands that have been tiled such that the runoff is exacerbated?

VALUE FOR MONEY?

6) About culverts in general, is anyone assured that we are getting value for the monies paid. By my calculations, a 10-man crew who work 40 hours per week at $150 per hour would cost $60,000. f you add materials and profit at $60,000, the invoice would be in the area of $180,000 which is nowhere near some of the prohibitive costs that we seem to pay on a regular basis.

6) Who paid for the culvert (Dunrobin Road south of the Constance Bay cut-off)

that had to be repaired twice. Why were two culverts (Dunrobin Road just north of the Constance Bay cut-off) replaced?

7) While not a storm water issue, why was Kilmaurs Side Road paved along with new guard rail that was partially destroyed by a snow plow the following winter.

8) If we are talking about an equitable formula to recover costs to combat storm water, why not eliminate the property tax subsidy that farmers receive. Effectively the nonfarmer, rural residents are footing this subsidy when they file their annual income taxes.

9) Why have urbans been paying rurals costs since amalgamation. While some blame can be directed at the amalgamation transition team, a bigger slice of blame should be laid at the feet of the city current finance department for missing this blatant error for the past 15 years.

10) Could it be that this was noted and intentionally overlooked. We are led to believe that this only came to light when the water consumption dropped off - resulting in a revenue shortfall in the water department.

Maybe!

11) I would counter that the rurals have been footing some urban costs that were not disclosed in Jessica’s column. The Planning and Growth Management department is to spend $51.1 million in 2016. Of this amount, $0.3 million (or 0.6%) will be spent in the rurals with $50.8 million (or 99.4%) to be spent in the urbans. Could these numbers have a bearing on the new formula?

To best address this issue, the city must prepare a pro-forma, audited financial statement in which the city’s revenues and costs are properly allocated to rural, urban and suburban areas.

It is virtually impossible to discern anything from what is now available on the city’s website as to where property taxes are spent (urban/suburban, rural).

Lottery License Number #7088 12 West Carleton Review - Thursday, March 24, 2016

The proposal to levy a ‘stormwater fee’ on rural properties is a thinly disguised tax grab.

It is claimed that the money is needed to replace culverts and maintain good drainage.

As a civil engineer, I know that a properly designed and constructed road system makes adequate provision for drainage, including major precipitation and run-off events.

Similarly, any proper maintenance budget for the road system takes into account the need to keep the drainage around roads in good working order by replacing deteriorated culverts and keeping the storm sewers and ditches clear, etc.

In fact, the City of Ottawa budget for 2016 includes over $114 million for the operation and maintenance of roads and this money comes, as it should, from the property taxes paid by all citizens, whether urban, suburban or rural. If more money is required for these purposes the proper response is to increase the budgeted amount.

Instead City Hall, facing a major deficit in its water and wastewater (sewers) accounts, has fabricated a new name for standard maintenance of road drainage -- stormwater management -- and is trying to use this subterfuge to levy a new tax on rural residents who have neither city water nor sewer service and who already pay for road maintenance

through their property taxes.

City Hall claims that the difficulties with the current budgeting arrangements are a result of an administrative error made at the time of amalgamation in 2000.

It is interesting to note that the number of Ottawa taxpayers who would be subject to their proposed tax grab -- 47,000 -- is almost the same as the 45,000 Ottawans who are forced to pay about 30 per cent more for their electricity than their neighbours because of a different “administrative error” at the time of amalgamation. This is because they were left off of Hydro Ottawa’s customer list and 15 years later are still forced to buy their electricity from Hydro One at much higher rates.

The contrast is striking! City Hall having a problem now because not enough money in the water and sewer services budget? Let’s move ahead right away with a new tax on rural homeowners. And the 15-year-old problem of the clearly unfair treatment of the 45,000 Ottawa taxpayers who do not benefit from Hydro Ottawa’s lower electricity rates?

The response here is to continue to do nothing, even though the City, which is the sole owner of Hydro Ottawa on our behalf, could today direct it to rectify this long-standing inequity.

Federal government should act to ensure clean water To the Editor: Canada is the only G8 country without legally enforceable drinking-water-quality standards at the national level.

This situation must change in order to reduce the number of boil water advisories (currently more than 1,000 are in effect across Canada) and ensure that our citizens have appropriate access to clean drinking water.

Luckily this system can be changed. On International Water Day, March 22, the new

government was to table its first budget.

Many Ottawa-Gatineau residents are public servants who are directly affected by each Federal budget and follow the announcements closely.

I too intend to be watching in the hope that funding and concrete steps to improve water quality in this nation are included in this budget.

If the government did not act on this important issue on Tuesday, I hope other Canadians will continue to push the federal

Snow trails don’t threaten property rights To the Editor: I read the letter (West Carleton Review, March 3) from Tom Black, president of the Ontario Landowners Association (OLA), and I would like to clear the air for landowners who have snowmobile trails on their property.

I am a snowmobiler, a member of the Kemptville Snowmobile Klub Inc., have had a trail on my property since 1985, and currently I am the trail co-ordinator for the Kemptville club. We have had many landowners calling us in fear that the trail on their land would turn into an easement because of rumours and speculation they have heard that is spreading around the countryside.

This is not true. The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) has sought legal opinion on Bill 100 and been given the green light. Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) has also reviewed the bill and stated that it poses no threat of creating easements against the wishes of the landowner.

The Liberal government of Ontario has stated that Bill 100 is not going to create unwanted easements and does not take away any property rights. Even Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox-Addington, and former president of the OLA, has come out in support of Bill 100.

Hillier states that in no way will it create automatic or unwanted easements.

Bill 100 will not affect your rights to your land if you do not sign to allow an easement.

In fact Tom Black starts his list of concerns with the statement: “If we agree to accept a trail easement on our property,” and later states landowners must be careful what they sign and I agree wholeheartedly.

The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) is closing in on 50 years of operation and we have relied on two groups of people for our success, volunteers and landowners. If we lost either of these groups we would have to close the doors.

Our top priority is to protect our landowners and volunteers. The OFSC continues to spend millions of dollars every year for insurance and legal defense of volunteers and landowners. We have a spotless record of protecting the 11,000 generous landowners who allow us to have a trail on their property.

The OFSC has no intention of destroying the trust we have built up with the landowners over all those years by trying to force them into easements they don’t want and we don’t want. We already have a time-honoured land use permission form that has been put under legal scrutiny many times and has passed with flying colours. In it, the club and the landowner agree to the terms of use of the land, which includes the right for the land-

owner to cancel the agreement at any time.

This agreement is for snowmobile trails only and is not transferrable to any other organization. It covers the landowners with insurance and states that the club will look after any damage that happens on the property caused by the snowmobile trail.

Landowners who are skeptical about signing anything have always had the option of entering into a handshake agreement, which does not require them to sign but still gives them full coverage, the same as the written agreement.

Whether Bill 100 gets passed or not, our snowmobile clubs will not let anything destroy the trust we have earned from our landowners and business will continue as usual.

We will still honour handshake agreements as we have in the past. We will continue to operate in the best interests of landowners.

Many of our club executive has trails on their land or have close relatives with trails on their land, so we will never support anything that does harm to landowners. The snowmobile clubs are your friends and neighbours.

We ask the landowners to not cancel the trail agreements they have with us but continue to trust us. We have not let you down in the last 50 years and we will not let you down in the future.

Football fans will recognize ‘Redblacks’ as being the name of the Ottawa professional football team, a reincarnation of the former ‘Ottawa Roughriders’.

While the new name was chosen for very different reasons, the two colours it incorporates have great psychological significance. Red is the colour of energy, passion, and action, while black symbolizes the secretive and the unknown.

These associations are most fitting for a local bird that wears both those colours, a bird that has is currently heralding the arrival of spring. That bird is, of course, the Red-winged Blackbird.

Actually, only male Redwinged Blackbirds are black and red, the red being confined to small feathers (coverts) that adorn the shoulders of their wings. Not always do they show their red, however, for that colour can be hidden under larger, black body feathers (the scapulars). The red is revealed when a male is displaying, something that the newly arrived males are currently doing.

Female Red-winged

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way

See FEMALES page 17

Blackbirds are not black and red, but are brown with thick, brown streaks adorning their breasts, and in fact look not unlike oversized sparrows. But you won’t see any females just yet for they are still farther south.

The males return about two weeks ahead of the females, and immediately stake claims on suitable habitat. Cattail wetlands are their favourite sites, although almost any vegetated wet patch gets occupied.

Dominant males claim the best quality territories and they receive a reward that is much more than a piece of nesting habitat; high quality real estate results in multiple females settling in to raise

their families.

Red-winged Blackbirds are polygynous birds, which means males acquire multiple mates. In our area, preferred males can have up to half a dozen females in their harem, but in California (where things are obviously a bit looser!) up to a dozen females per male have been recorded.

Male Red-winged Blackbirds are now back and singing up a storm in local marshes.

Females placed in pecking order Continued from page 16

Although the males don’t take part in incubating eggs, they protect the females’ nests and also help feed their young.

Partly because of their unusual sex life and partly because they are one of the most abundant birds in North America, Red-winged Blackbirds have been the subject of myriad studies.

My favourite is one that was done by Dr. Patrick Weatherhead, formerly of Carleton University. Weath-

erhead wondered if a male treated all of the females in his harem equally. He used a simulated predator (a crow model) to measure a male’s response to a threat to a female’s nest. Weatherhead discovered they were not, that some females were defended aggressively while others were barely defended at all.

He also used DNA testing to examine his paternity of the eggs in each nest and discovered that the females best defended had eggs to which the male had full paternity.

Call Diana Mayer direct at 613-852-3243

The females whose nests were most poorly defended had eggs to which he had little or no paternity at all!

This revealed that female Red-winged Blackbirds “play the field” to varying degrees.

But how do males know that certain females are unfaithful? And how do they retain that memory for payback later on? Those are questions DNA will never answer!

West Carleton Review - Thursday, March 24, 2016 21

Ottawa teams seek new anthem singers

The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) is again looking for talented singers in the Ottawa-Gatineau region to perform the national anthem at Ottawa RedBlacks 67’s and Fury FC games at TD Place this season.

Interested candidates can register by e-mailing Anthem@ TDplace.ca and include a link to their bilingual performance of O Canada. The anthem should be performed in a fairly traditional manner. Deadline for submissions is Wednesday, March 30.

“We have been fortunate to have some incredible singers showcase their abilities at our games and we’re looking forward to seeing even more of that talent on display in 2016,” said Randy Burgess, V-P of Communications and Content at OSEG. “This is a great opportunity for singers of all ages to be front and centre and kick off the excitement at RedBlacks, Fury and 67’s games.”

The top singers selected from this part of the selection process will be invited to TD Place for a

Ice gone, ferry back

live audition during the second week of April.

Multiple singers are required and successful applicants will be slotted to perform prior to football, soccer and hockey games over the next year, subject to availability. Candidates applying by email to sing the anthem should include the following information: name, email address, telephone singing experience and a link to an online audition video. Consent from a parent or legal will be required for singers under 18.

The Quyon ferry began a new season crossing the Ottawa River on St. Patrick’s Day, its second-earliest opening ever. Last year the ferry between Fitzroy and Quyon didn’t begin operating until April 17. Its earliest opening was March 14. The ferry will have extended hours for the Easter weekend.

ANGLICAN PARISH OF PAKENHAM Welcome Everyone to Join them this Easter Season

With a rash of complaints this week about door-to-door furnace salesmen in the area, an advisory by local police detachments is timely.

The OPP reminds residents there is a resource available to them from Consumer Protection Ontario that can help them not to be taken advantage of when making important decisions such as buying a home, hiring a contractor or home inspector, renting a water heater, and more.

The Consumer Protection On-

tario website (www.ontario.ca/ consumerprotection) provides consumers with information on their rights when buying from a doorto-door salesperson and advice to avoid falling victim to shady or unethical contractors or salespeople.

When considering hiring a contractor for home renovations you should pay heed of the Consumer Protection Ontario’s many recommendations, including: • ask for contact information for previous customers who have had similar work done on their homes;

• request a written estimate and include the estimate as part of the contract; • ask if the contract sets out a resolution process for disputes; • no more than a 10 per cent down payment is recommended; • ask if any of the work will be subcontracted.

In addition to its website, Consumer Protection Ontario may be reached by phone at 1-800-8899768.

“Remember, ask questions and choose carefully,” urge police.

Potholes? Let the city know

Maundy Thursday Service Thursday March 24, 2016

Ottawa residents are being asked alert the city when they come across potholes in their streets.

In a release, the city notes that a “sure sign of spring, but not necessarily a welcome one, is the emergence of potholes on our streets.”

The city says that if citizens see a pothole that needs to be filled on

an Ottawa street they can make a service request through ottawa. ca<http://ottawa.ca/en/serviceottawa/tous-all> or call 3-1-1.City crews are dispatched year-round to fix potholes using hot asphalt.

In 2015, more than 210,000 potholes were filled.

The city explains that potholes are a result of the freeze-thaw

weather cycles that cause road surfaces to deteriorate.

During the thaw, water seeps into the crevices of the road.

Fluctuations in temperature, vibrations and traffic volumes all create stress on the asphalt road surface, which causes potholes.

The city explains the pothole process on its YouTube channel.

Huntley curlers at the Brier Two young curlers from the Huntley Curling Club in Carp, Alicia Bedford and Jesse O’Connor, centre, were the rising star curlers with Team Northern Ontario on March 11 at the recently held Tim Hortons Brier in Ottawa. The young curlers are pictured with members from Team Northern Ontario, Ryan Harden, E.J. Harden, Ryan Fry and Brad Jacobs who went 11-0 in round-robin play and won the bronze medal. It was an amazing experience for them to meet the team, tour the TSN centre, take lots of pictures and a gain a lifetime of memories.

“Last year going undefeated was the first time,” said assistant coach Charles Ross, whose son Lucas plays centre for the Silver Seven.

“They’ve gone undefeated two seasons in a row. To win the whole thing like they did, it’s pretty impressive.”

Silver Seven players made up five of the top-seven point leaders for the 2015-16 season.

Jacob Lesser finished second with 55 points, one point behind the leader from the Ottawa Sting.

In third was Kai Dunits with 50 points. Lucas Ross finished fourth with 45 points, in fifth was Isaac Hindle with 45 points and seventh went to Jorian Donovan with 44 points.

“They’ve all been playing together for the last three years technically; it’s pretty special,” said Charles, who lives in Kinburn.

“It’s pretty crazy to see them get better and better every year. This year they were pretty impressive.”

Their league and playoff combined record was 35 wins, 0 losses, 5 ties with 261 goals for and 68 goals against. Not only that, they were the least penalized team in league.

The team’s overall record the past two seasons including league, playoffs and tournaments is 106 wins, 17 losses and 7 ties.

Lucas is sponsored through the Jon Brunette Memorial Fund, created to honour the former West Carleton Minor Hockey player, Ottawa Titan and Arnprior Junior Packer player who was killed in a snowmobile crash in 2003.

Val Brunette, Jon’s

mother, often attends the Silver Seven games and said it’s been exciting to watch the team win.

“For me it is just a wonderful feeling watching Lucas play,” said Brunette.

“They are the most amazing little team; they won their league, and were number one all year and were number one in the playoffs.

They’ve had some good coaching.”

Many of the players will be trying out for the Ottawa Valley Titans AAA team next season.

City’s public Wi-Fi lacking in recreation facilities Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Rick Chiarelli, who chairs the city’s information technology sub-committee, said he’s “not surprised” to hear residents are complaining about difficulty connecting with the public Wi-Fi at the city’s rec-

reation facilities.

“I have had one or two complaints about it,” he said.

Free public Wi-Fi is available at 26 city facilities thanks to a partnership agreement between the city and a Kanata-based firm called IceNet Wireless, which is a division of EION. The agreement was inked in December 2013 and

runs until June 2019.

Aside from getting the service for free, the city also gets a piece of the advertising revenue – which is $63,000 annually and $315,000 over the course of the five-year deal.

Dan Chenier, general manager of parks and recreation said, based on the usage reports provided to the city, the

average number of unique monthly users at the 26 facilities is 49,500.

IceNet didn’t return multiple requests for comment on the service they provide at city facilities or calls to fix problems.

The Carp arena isn’t among the 26 facilities that have a contract with IceNet.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

My common-law husband of five years and I recently separated.

We have no children, and divided our assets equally. He owns a small business and I have previously co-signed for a vehicle loan and line of credit for his business. Now that we are separated, am I automatically released from these loans?

loan may be responsible for repayment in full, even if they are no longer in a relationship. Despite the fact that you did not actually borrow or use the funds, you may be liable.

In most cases, when two or more people are responsible for a debt, they are jointly and severally liable. This means that they are each responsible for the entire amount of the loan and the lender can pursue recovery of the entire debt from either or both parties.

When separating, it is important to not only divide the assets but also to sever all joint debts. This cannot be done without involving the lender. The division of debts is as important as the division of assets because joint debt obligations can lead to unforeseen debt and credit issues if not dealt with properly. When preparing and negotiating a separation agreement, a lawyer will ensure that such debts are properly considered in order to protect you.

This can create difficulties where one party runs into financial difficulties and is unable to make payments on the loan. A spouse who co-signed or guaranteed the

Carp Garden workshop to launch growing season Carp’s successful Neighbourhood Tomato West Carleton Community Garden is kicking off its 2016 season with a Get Ready to Garden Workshop.

Katrina Anderson from Kinburn Farms will be presenting information on how to plan and manage your vegetable garden on March 30 in Carp.

Twelve of the garden’s available 14 family plots are already spoken for and Neighbourhood Tomato West Carleton co-ordinator Michelle Rehkopf is looking for two more families or individuals who would like to sign up for one of the free garden spaces.

“Almost everyone who gardened with us last year is returning, but there are still two plots available for families who would like grow their own vegetables or volunteer to help care for our community boxes,” she said.

“Last year we donated containers of vegetables to over 70 families at the Food Access Centre and we hope to contribute even more this season.”

Everyone is welcome at the free workshop whether you are members of the Neighbourhood Tomato Community Garden or just want tips for your own garden.

The Neighbourhood Tomato West Carleton Community Garden was expanded last year with grants and generous donations from local

businesses and the contribution of many volunteers. It is located beside the Carp fairgrounds behind St. James Anglican Church, which donated the land for the garden.

The workshop will be held Wednesday, March 30 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the St. James Anglican Church hall, 3774 Carp Rd. Please email michellerehkopf@ rogers.com for garden information or to register for the workshop.

Ottawa Senators NHL general manager Bryan Murray will be the guest of speaker at tonight’s Carp Fair Men’s Night annual dinner and reception.

Murray will talk hockey as well as his battle with cancer at the gathering tonight (Thursday) at the banquet hall at the Carp Fairgrounds.

The event will help raise awareness for the prevention, research and treatment of colon cancer.

A native of Shawville Quebec, Murray began a long history in hockey by playing and then coaching in the Ottawa Valley. He moved on to coach the Western Hockey League’s Regina Pats and the American Hockey League’s Hershey Bears before being promoted to the NHL. Before being hired by the Senators, he served as general manager of the NHL’s Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Florida Panthers and Detroit Red Wings.

He was also the head coach for the Washington Capitals, Detroit Red Wings, Florida Panthers, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, and the Senators over 17 seasons.

His teams have earned more than 600 NHL victories in regular season games. In his 13 full NHL seasons as head coach, he took his teams to the playoffs 12 times.

A ‘water safety’ alert was issued last week in the Upper Ottawa Valley, but the cold temperatures this week have alleviated flooding concerns – for now.

However, Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) officials are continuing to urge people to exert caution around waterways that are caught between freezing and melting.

In a release March 17, the MVCA reported that flows and levels across the Mississippi River watershed had been steadily increasing over the last few days due to the melting snow pack and rainfall.

The warmer weather and increased flows have resulted in rapidly deteriorating ice conditions on lakes and rivers, so area residents were advised that “no one should be venturing out onto any ice covered waterways.”

Kanata Theatre offers Odd Couple John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Three “dead plants” on the set of the upcoming production of ‘The Odd Couple’ at the Kanata Theatre are there thanks to the ‘Stittsville Moms’ Facebook group.

Kanata Theatre’s director of publicity Susan Sinchak turned to the group when some dead plants were needed for the set of the play. It worked because there were many responses to the request and three of the “best” dead plants were selected for use on the set of the play.

The Odd Couple opened Tuesday, March 22 and runs through to Saturday, April 2 at the Ron Maslin Playhouse just off Terry Fox

Drive at Walter Baker Park in Kanata. The production features Bernie Horton as Oscar and Stavros Sakiadis as Felix.

The Odd Couple is a perennial favourite with audiences. It was a hit play featuring divorced roommates Felix Unger, the neat freak, and Oscar Madison, the slob, premiering on Broadway with Walter Matthau and Art Carney in the lead roles. Paramount Pictures produced two film versions and three TV series based on the play.

Tickets to the Kanata Theatre production cost $20 each and are available from the Kanata Theatre box office at 613-831-4435 or online at www.kanatatheatre.com.

The Ron Maslin Playhouse is fully accessible and has a hearing assist system. Parking is free.

Côrdydd, a prize-winning mixed choir from Cardiff, Wales, will perform in Ottawa during a gala concert on Saturday, April 23, as part of the Ontario Welsh Festival.

SUBMITTED

Ontario Welsh Festival coming to Ottawa April 22 to 24 Calling all people of Welsh descent and everyone interested in Welsh culture and music. A feast of Welsh music is coming to the capital.

The Ontario Welsh Festival will take place April 22 to 24 in Ottawa. The festival is an annual celebration of Welsh music and culture, drawing visitors from all over Canada, the United States and Wales.

First held in Niagara Falls in 1961, the festival has travelled throughout the province from Ottawa to Windsor since then.

Ottawans will have the opportunity to hear the renowned Côrdydd, a prize-winning mixed choir from Cardiff, Wales, together with extra-special guests, the Three Welsh Tenors, taking part in a gala concert on Saturday, April 23.

The other main highlight of the festival

will be traditional hymn-singing sessions, known in Welsh as a Gymanfa Ganu, at Dominion Chalmers United Church on Sunday, April 24. The public is invited, and if you have never heard the Welsh sing hymns in four-part harmony, don’t miss this opportunity to experience it and join in.

There will be two sessions, one at 10.30 a.m. and one at 1.30 p.m.

An added treat will be songs by Côrdydd and the Tenors during each session. There will be a freewill offering.

Thrilled the festival is coming to Ottawa is long-time Westboro resident Alison Lawson, who originally hails from Llandudno, in north Wales. She says her heart is divided equally between Canada and her country of birth.

Thank you to all the constituency members of KanataCarleton that I was able to meet with this week. I always look forward to listening and meeting with residents of such a vibrant community.

Kinburn Community Association Thank you to Dawn Dean and the wonderful volunteers in Kinburn for organizing a delicious Easter brunch. It was an incredible turn out and everyone enjoyed pancakes and amazing local maple syrup supplied by Julia from Tree Stand Maple. I was happy to be able to enjoy this experience with family and friends.

I was thrilled to see what a great job they are doing in representing our members in uniform. The busiest recruiting center in the country, the work they do is invaluable to our military as they bring in the next generation of members who will serve.

Death education? Utopia-building robots? Must be TEDx: eight speakers to compete March 31 Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A wide range of ideas surfaced at the public tryouts for the second TEDx Kanata event, where organizers are challenged to find Ideas Worth Spreading.

The event, taking place March 31, is an independent version of the famous TED Talks events that originated as a venue for speakers in the technology, entertainment and design sectors to share their ideas.

Now it’s a world renowned speaker series attempting to promote what it calls Ideas Worth Spreading, and has done so to great success especially by posting talks to YouTube.

The executive director for the Kanata North Business Improvement Area, Jenna Sudds, spear-

headed the first TEDx Kanata last year, and together with many other volunteers sought to find some interesting ideas to feature from Ottawa and beyond.

Seventy-three people applied to speak at the next event – a “phenomenal response,” said Sudds.

The applicants were cut to 15 for the tryout, where judges and the public could help decide who would be the eight presenting their full talk on March 31. Ideas ranged from strategies for business success, the need for death education, how sentient robots might not actually kill us all, and re-thinking just what success means.

Bruce Linton was one of several tech entrepreneurs to try out. He walked up to the microphone with a basket of eggs, challenging the

I am certain that she will do a marvelous job in representing the residents of Ottawa West-Nepean. It is through collaboration that we are able to make real change happen not only in our community of KanataCarleton but the National Capital Region.

This week I had the chance to visit the Blackberry and Lockheed Martin campuses. I am always inspired by the innovative work that our business community is doing. Having the chance to listen to our business leaders’ feedback is important to me and I hope to have the chance to meet many more of the Riding’s businesses.

notion that, in business, one shouldn’t put all one’s eggs in one basket. That’s exactly what you should do, he said, and promised to explain how diversification can hurt a company or a person from doing one thing to the best of its ability at the TEDx Kanata event, if he gets a spot.

Chad English took on the movie industry, not to mention geniuses like Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking, when he said artificial intelligence doesn’t mean the end of humanity. He said movie tropes that result in films like Terminator are just a reflection of humanity’s internal needs, bred into us through natural selection. All humanity needs do is breed trust into intelligent computers and that doomsday scenario should be avoided, he said.

Donna Stoering, a concert pianist from California, sent in a video submission explaining her concern about the Internet and services like YouTube squashing unique cultures. She said children prefer to emulate music and dance that they see online rather than learn about their culture’s own musical practices.

But Stoering said she has worked to reverse this trend through her non-profit organization, which has encouraged children in various cultures to learn and share their own music online, thereby keeping that culture from being lost and helping to create something she calls “a Wikipedia of world cultures.”

Doug Smith of West Carleton, a 1981 NHL draft pick for the Los Angeles Kings who suffered a careerending neck injury, spoke on how much good or bad a work culture can do for an employee. Bad work culture is something he experienced playing for the Kings, he said.

Upon arriving in Los Angeles as an 18-year-old, Smith said he was left to live in a dangerous hotel for weeks, and upon receiving a Porsche, was given a pistol to hide in the glove compartment for self-defence.

The owner of the team cared little for the sport, he said, the team averaged two coaches a year, and Smith’s play reflected the poor environment.

But that changed when he asked to be traded. He ended up with the Buffalo Sabres, where the coach met him at the airport and showed him support and confidence in Smith’s abilities. Smith’s game on the ice improved dramatically in the more positive, caring environment, he said, adding that work culture is just as important in a regular workplace.

Kathy Kortes-Miller thought she had found the right work environment for airing her feelings about death. As a PhD student, she expected the response to her interest in studying death education to be positive, but instead she received silence, until her professor suggested she must have meant deaf education.

Kortes-Miller set him straight, but realized ,“Maybe we are hard of hearing when it comes to talking about dying and death.”

Having been diagnosed with cancer a year earlier, Kortes-Miller found that even cancer doctors seem to have trouble with the thought that their patients might need to talk about death and their fear.

Kortes-Miller was told her kind of cancer was the best one to get because it’s so treatable. Nonetheless, she shared her feelings, saying she was scared. But her doctor told her not to think like that. Now, KortesMiller said she feels that a better understanding about death, and being aware and secure in the knowledge that everyone dies eventually, will lead to a fuller life.

Building a new home offers an open slate for interior design. Soft and sumptuous, velvet upholstery is a nod back to classic Hollywood and feels beautifully modern when done in contemporary silhouettes and punchy hues.

Whether you bring home this trend in a principal piece or in a small pouf or ottoman, the luxe quality of velvet will elevate any room.

Tufted sofas, chairs and ottomans are another classic element that have been made new again for 2016. For maximum impact, consider a tufted three-seat sofa with generous rolled arms. You can also bring home this trend in a small ottoman or dining chair.

For wall adornment, innovation leads the way.

Inspired by the natural and organic veining of actual marble, marbleized paper products are all the rage ranging from notebooks, personalized writing pads to art prints.

Metal is still a popular choice in furnishings.

Warm metallics continue to be a strong trend in 2016.

Popularized last year in light fixtures and cabinet hardware, these warm coloured metals will continue to shine in applications like a modern barstool. If a furniture piece is a bit too daring for you, bring home this trend in coasters or a side lamp.

And don’t overlook traditional wall coverings, yes, even paneling.

While wall paneling, crown and other decorative mouldings can be a very traditional element of a room’s design make up, I argue when juxtaposed against modern elements like a graphic area rug and painted out a fresh white, applied mouldings can feel modern and edgy. I love using them in large-scale floor to ceiling panels as I did in my own home gym.

The traditional look of weathered and worn wood continues to hold a strong presence in interior design, appearing in solid wood furniture such as dining room tables and chairs.

Under it all, a pattern begins to emerge.

Patterned floors bring a vivacious energy to a space and can make even the most utilitarian spaces (like the laundry room) feel like jewellery gems.

Don’t be afraid to infuse your own personality, treat the trends as a launching point.

MINTO MAHOGANY Old World Charm on the outskirts of Ottawa Located in the heart of Mano�ck, Minto Mahogany is a perfect blend of old and new: offering a vibrant main street scene with the peace and tranquility of village living.

Contemporary design meets village charm at Mahogany.

This master-planned community incorporates many of the natural features, such as Mahogany Creek and indigenous species of mature trees, that make Mano�ck so appealing. The natural community design will see families on nature walks steps from their homes, children playing in mature treelined avenues, and the sights and sounds of Canada’s countryside in peaceful co-existence.

Minto is commi�ed to maintaining and upholding the valuable natural resources surrounding the Mahogany community. Minto has built around the Mahogany Creek, which meanders through the community and joins the Rideau River at Mahogany Bay. Vegeta�on around the creek was also planted to restore and improve aqua�c health and creek system.

This parkland area is a great place to enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature, while observing the natural wildlife.

Not only is Minto Mahogany home to an array of natural resources for your children to explore, it is also steps from Mano�ck Village.

It is, a�er all, Mano�ck’s old world charm that

has drawn so many new residents to the area over the past few years.

Mano�ck Village has a well-earned reputa�on as a quaint, vibrant community on the shores of the Rideau River. Over the years, the character of the village has been maintained. Take a stroll down Main Street and you will s�ll see the original stone houses from the town’s mill history. However, it is the variety and quality of services that really make Mano�ck a stand-out des�na�on.

MANY ADVANTAGES to today’s

new homes

A home is o�en the biggest investment a person makes. Buyers can spend �me and energy either searching for or designing ‘the perfect home’.

Building a new custom home does offer many op�ons.

With any new construc�on, the buyer benefits from higher levels of comfort and efficiency thanks to improved HVAC [hea�ng, ven�la�on and cooling], insula�on and air filtra�on standards.

“Be�er efficiency is good for the environment and can save you money on your u�lity bills each month.”

A new house can also be a healthier environment.

A newly-built dwelling should not have health issues or toxic materials, which can be found in older homes. It can be built with materials to make a smaller environment footprint.

Green appliances/Energy Star rated appliances, and more efficient toilets, plumbing fixtures and electrical fixtures allow you to build ‘green’ for a more sustainable home in the long run. And you have the

op�on to install, sleeve and/or wire for future technology upgrades, such as home automa�on and solar.

Even though the upfront costs of building can be higher, it may be easier to recoup your investment.

You can have more significant profits with the resale of your new home. A newer home is typically more appealing than an older home to most people.

In addi�on, a new home will require fewer repairs and less maintenance, which can save both money and �me. And, as Bur� points out, you’ll have a warranty with a new home, so even if something does go wrong, you may s�ll be covered.

Money and features aside, building a house can lead to a level of sa�sfac�on that you can’t achieve through buying an exis�ng home. There is a definite feeling of an emo�onal connec�on to living in a new home that you have created.

The new-home smell, no one else has stepped foot (or pets) on your carpet. This is your crea�on that matches your style and personality, that you created from scratch.

GET IT IN WRITING

Keep a watchful eye on progress to turn your dream to reality Though most people rely on a builder for construc�on, it is up to each individual buyer to ensure they get what they bargained for. Trusted architect Ralph Liebing offers these �ps to help you prevent expensive and �me consuming mistakes.

It’s always best to come prepared. Do your research and have a good idea what you want, and what it should cost. There are countless decisions to made along the way, and it’s wise to know how to approach the complica�ons as they come up.

Here are some handy guidelines to help you make sure your new home meets your dream.

50 West Carleton Review - Thursday, March 24, 2016 34 Orléans News - Thursday, March 24, 2016

Paying to have a new home built is likely one of the most expensive things you will do. Before you sign a contract, know your basic rights and ensure the deal is above board. The first thing you will want to do is to read the contract and fully understand what you are buying.

From the aspect of the builder, you are buying reputa�on, exper�se and knowledge. Their experience and ability will give you a good indica�on what they will build with your investment.

Remember, they are in business and you are the customer. You have a right to get what you pay for and they have a right to earn a reasonable profit for their �me and effort on your behalf.

To ensure you get all that you agreed to, make sure you write down all communica�on with the builder and any subcontractors.

“Anything you add to the house a�er the contract is signed, the builder will keep track of -- assiduously! Anything you delete or reduce, you must keep track of -- assiduously!” advises Ralph Liebing.

It’s a good idea to keep extras and accessories in line with your ini�al budget. Though you may be tempted by sugges�ons from friends, your builder, or what you see elsewhere, make sure you do not overwhelm good basic construc�on. Trading glitz for sturdiness is never a good idea.

Be conscious of the fact that ul�mately you are paying by the square foot (or similar measurement) for everything, from the ground up. Make sure the space you make is usable in some way.

Remember that extra, unused, vacant and unnecessary space is provided at the same cost as the rest of the house.

As the construc�on process progresses, there are bound to be issues that creep up. It is best to be prepared for the inevitable changes that may occur. You may have to compromise to resolve situa�ons and problems. By knowing the situa�on and where you stand, both aesthe�cally and financially, you can make the right decisions.

“Be aware of what you may be giving up in this process -- examine and understand both sides. Is the situa�on worth what you are losing?”

Liebing also advises to take care and be wary of “unique, inordinate, or farout requests, new technology, and untested materials and equipment. The builder is fully capable of doing anything (or can find someone who can) you wish; but, this all will come with a price -- so be careful.”

Before you begin, make sure you fully appreciate that plans and actual construc�on may differ.

“Understand that construc�on is an imperfect science. This combined with natural elements (site condi�ons, weather, wood members, human foibles) means that things could change, must be changed, or simply exceed capabili�es.”

And it’s always a good idea to save some pa�ence and funds for con�ngency planning.

If you s�ck to your plan and keep a watchful, knowledgeable eye on progress, you will have the enjoyment of watching your dream home materialize right before your eyes.

PLAN YOUR NEW HOME

CHOOSE THE BUILDER who’s right for you Jay McKenzie is in charge of content and social media for NewHomeSource.com and Builders Digital Experience. He offers his 10 steps to select the right builder who’s a good fit for you and the new home you’ll build together.

With today’s technology, almost all new homes should easily meet or surpass a six-star minimum energy efficiency ra�ng.

Your checklist: 1. Know what you want. Before you approach a builder, decide on the size, type and price range of home.

2. Make sure your prospec�ve builder has the experience and reputa�on to build what you want. Ask for – and check – references from past home buyers.

3. If you plan to build in an established community, talk to the neighbours who have recently taken possession of their new homes.

4. Does your design work on the property you have? Does the builder have exper�se to build the style of home you want?

5. Always ensure the builder is fully licenced and insured. Include a thorough examina�on of warranty and a�erpurchase service.

6. It pays to examine the builder’s history.

How is the resale value in other communi�es the builder constructed.

What is the condi�on of the buildings a�er five or 10 years of occupancy?

7. Take a complete tour of model homes, especially if there is one of the design you selected. Look over the plan and see if the model is built to the same specifica�ons.

52 Carleton - Thursday, March 24, 2016 36 West Orléans NewsReview - Thursday, March 24, 2016

You can save yourself some unpleasant surprises by making sure you are seeing exactly what you are ge�ng.

8. Remember, quality counts most. A�er the home is built, the quality of workmanship and materials will be your responsibility for the future. Make sure the quality is built in.

9. Don’t forget the back yard. In some cases, builders may only create a level site on which to build the house while the rest of the yard remains in unusable condi�on.

10. Finally, make sure the people doing the actual work reflect the image of the builder/contractor. A�er all, it is the workers who will bring your dream to life. Make sure they show sincere interest and are willing to listen to your concerns and answer your ques�ons as the job progresses. Good builders work with courteous, prompt, professionals who are reliable and trustworthy. That is how they built their reputa�on.

A good builder will consider your needs more carefully. Always take the �me to find a builder who is sensi�ve to your dream and guarantees to follow your plan.

The process to build a new home begins long before the founda�on, according to experts at abouthome.com.

The best way to steer clear of costly mishaps during construc�on is to follow these important steps.

As you move from dream house to real house, be sure to ask questions and share your progress. Begin now to think about how much you can afford to spend and how much building your new home is likely to cost. Chances are you will need a construction loan and a mortgage. The first step is to find out what size loan you qualify for. Also, knowing the approximate cost of construction will help you modify your building plans to meet your budget.

In most cases, you will select your property first.

Some people prefer a lot in an established new community, while others seek open spaces or to be nestled in a stand of trees. Regardless of loca�on, before you choose a building footprint and floor plan, there is work to be done.

On private land that you plan to develop into a home lot, you will need to inves�gate factors such as soil condi�on, drainage, zoning, and building codes applicable to the property. The answers will help to determine if the property fits your dream home plan. If the land is already in the package, you may have to modify your plan to fit your lot.

When it comes to the actual building, many people choose to follow an established design, either created by the builder or a home designer. They may allow for minor modifica�ons in room size, window style, basic accessories, electrical or other details, but for the most part, you get what the plan lays out.

On the other hand, a custom-designed home allows a wider range of crea�vity for a price. Since the home is created specifically for the people who will live there, it can truly reflect a personal vision, provided the lot can accommodate it.

In most cases, customdesigned homes require the services of a licensed architect. They ask ques�ons like: Where is the sun in rela�on to the lot? Where do the prevailing breezes come from? How can the homeowner save on long-term hea�ng and cooling costs?

Regardless of stock or custom design, it pays to pick a plan that will meet your needs for many years to come.

Unless you are a homesteader, you’ll need a team of experts to design and construct your house.

Key players will include a builder, an excavator, a surveyor, and a home designer or an architect.

Many homeowners begin by selec�ng the builder or contractor. That pro then selects other members of the team. However, you may also opt to hire an architect

or designer first.

For the buyer, it’s wise to determine well in advance how involved you will be in the construc�on process.

For contractors building communi�es that feature only a few home designs, the decisions may be minimal for the buyer. However, with a custom home project, the buyer and builder may work closely to ensure the construc�on meets the design. That is especially important to deal with unforeseen problems and challenges that o�en creep up during construc�on.

Some homeowners have opted to be their own project manager. If that’s the case, you have more control, but you also have to choose the right builder or subcontractors who have worked this way.

In very new home construction, a written contract, signed and dated by both the builder or contractor and the architect or designer, is your best protection as the project moves forward. Knowing where you stand can not only settle disagreements and prevent shortcomings, it is your only line of defence should the end result not meet your expectations.

A contract for new home construc�on will describe the project in detail and include a lis�ng of all the parts to be included in the house.

Remember to amend the contract if you or your team make any changes to the project later on.

HOUSING INDUSTRY SUCCESS A home renovation TAX CREDIT could: in mitigating climate change

John Herbert Executive Director of GOHBA Given the recent focus on climate change by the federal government, it seemed �mely to describe the emission reduc�ons that have been achieved in Canada’s housing industry over the past 10 years and suggest where government policy should best be directed over the next decade.

First of all, who are the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions?

This varies significantly around the world but most sources place Canada in 9th posi�on with total emissions that cons�tute about 2% of the top ten countries. Within Canada’s

seven main economic sectors, ‘Buildings’ represent about 12% of emissions versus transporta�on that is one of the highest at about 23%. Buildings include all residen�al, commercial, industrial and ins�tu�onal uses but we are only going to deal with the residen�al sector.

In 2014 the Canadian Home Builders’ Associa�on financed some important research to help policy makers understand just how successful emission reduc�ons in housing had been. In order to demonstrate the rela�ve magnitude of the reduc�ons, they decided to compare today’s houses and cars with those from 1975. They used construc�on specifica�ons from a home built in O�awa from that period and computer simula�on so�ware developed by the Government of Canada.

It was determined that a typical home, built to the current Ontario Building Code requirements would use 66% less energy that it’s 1975 predecessor. In comparison, a 2012 Chev-

rolet Impala delivers only a 15.8% improvement over the earlier model.

In short, the home’s energy efficiency has improved four �mes more than the car’s. Other car models fared even worse with the Honda Accord showing only a 3.8% improvement over the same period. When the 2017 Ontario Building Code is introduced, it will ensure that future homes will release an es�mated 80% fewer emissions than homes constructed in 1975!

These advances in technology mean that despite having 38% more homes in Canada than in 1990, residen�al emissions overall are down 11%.

Today’s new home buyers benefit from the tremendous energy performance improvement achieved by Canada’s home building industry. Monthly costs are much lower than they would otherwise be.

And other benefits, like improved indoor comfort and conveniences, are simply “part of the package”.

New housing is doing very well, and will con�nue

to improve. We therefore do not feel it is appropriate to adopt more stringent codes unless they can be shown to have no impact on costs and affordability.

New housing can and will con�nue its energy and climate performance improvement voluntarily with excellent success.

Where there is a huge opportunity, however, is in the energy retrofi�ng of Canada’s exis�ng housing stock. Every dollar invested in the average exis�ng Canadian home will yield four to seven �mes more GHG reduc�ons than the same dollar spent on a new home.

In a recent presenta�on to the federal government’s pre-budget consulta�on commi�ee the Canadian Home Builders’ Associa�on recommended a permanent, refundable home renova�on tax credit for energy efficiency retrofits using the government’s Energuide Ra�ng System.

• Achieve a number of specific public policy objec�ves to reduce GHG from Ontario’s 4.8 Million exis�ng homes through energy efficient renova�ons.

• Have the added benefit of strongly encouraging consumers to use legi�mate contractors and create a paper trail to deter underground ac�vity while s�mula�ng economic ac�vity.

• Be funded through a por�on of the funds generated from the proposed cap and trade system.

Improving the energy perfor-

mance of exis�ng homes offers the greatest and most cost-effec�ve benefit to homeowners, u�li�es, governments and society as a whole.

Another tool that would be extremely helpful in implemen�ng a program to retrofit Ontario’s existing housing stock would be the introduc�on of a mandatory energy labelling system for the re-sale of exis�ng homes. Provisions for this already exist in Ontario’s Green Energy and Green Economy Act and so all the government has to do is implement them.

Benefits of a Mandatory Home Energy Rating and Disclosure System include: • Consumer disclosure through greater accountability and transparency • Professional advice regarding poten�al energy-efficient upgrades • Market transforma�on as buyers make informed choices based on energy performance of housing, while sellers would invest in energy-efficient upgrades • Home values would be�er reflect energy performance • Reducing energy use and lowering GHG emissions Mandatory Home Energy Ra�ng and Disclosure in combina�on with a Home Renova�on Tax Credit are two separate, but directly related ini�a�ves that would target Ontario’s millions of exis�ng and aging homes for market transforma�on and achieve significantly higher GHG reduc�ons in a rela�vely short period of �me. These opportuni�es represent the ‘low hanging fruit’ in using Canada’s housing stock to further reduce GHG emissions and we encourage the provincial and federal governments to pursue them vigorously.

Buyers have a wide array of opďż˝ons including an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet in the master bedroom, cathedral ceilings in the great room, a second full bathroom and bedroom. All models come with a garage; a porch, perfect for enjoying your evening tea; a breakfast bar where you can read the morning paper; hardwood and ceramic ďŹ&#x201A;ooring throughout, and the opďż˝on to ďŹ nish the basement.

Richmond is an eclecďż˝c community of young families, professionals and reďż˝rees. As Kanata and S��sville conďż˝nue to expand, there are more buyers opďż˝ng to move a liďż˝le further away in order to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city. That being said, Richmond oďŹ&#x20AC;ers an array of ameniďż˝es such as coďŹ&#x20AC;ee shops, restaurants, shops, and banks. As a bonus, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a ten minute drive to Kanata where you can take advantage of the Kanata Centrum shopping centre with a theatre, big box stores, and much more.

Style and design tips to ACHIEVE YOUR DREAM KITCHEN Whether you’re in for a complete remodel or are looking to make cosme�c updates, the latest kitchen design trends will help you create a fresh, bold and invi�ng space.

While stainless steel décor has been a crowd-pleaser for many years, designers are now gravita�ng more towards the classic black and white colour scheme – especially for kitchen appliances. The darker tones contrasted against crisp whites emulate elegance and allow the versa�lity to choose bold accent colours.

“We’ve no�ced a strong gravita�on towards the classic look – clean white lines accented with bold black appliances,” said Valerie Malone, a home appliance expert with LG Electronics Canada. “LG’s Black Stainless Steel Series marries func�on with style.

Our new sa�n-smooth black finish gives you the durability of stainless steel and a classic look that will never �re.”

To make the most of your kitchen

renova�on, consider the following style and design �ps: Choose classic designs. Appliances are the heart of your kitchen, so you’ll want to choose products that will last.

The look of your kitchen may change as styles evolve, but LG’s Black Stainless Steel appliances have a sophis�cated black finish that pairs beau�fully with any style or colour.

Neutral paint colours. A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a room.

Make your kitchen feel 10 �mes larger and brighter with a crisp, neutral paint colour. On trend this year are light grey, sandy browns and calming blue hues.

Be bold in your accent pieces. Create drama in your kitchen with oversized light fixtures or an eye-catching backsplash. Accent pieces are a great way to add a pop of colour or create a focal point.

Tips for moving to a new home with pets Making the transi�on to a new home can be stressful for everyone, including your pets. We o�en are anxious about our pets’ adjustment to a new home. To ensure a safe and successful transi�on, homeowners can plan ahead and take ini�a�ves to make the process as smooth as possible.

Before the move. Pull out moving boxes in advance of packing to allow your pet an opportunity to become accustomed to them. Orient your pet to its carrier or crate so that you have a safe-place for her before and a�er the move. Try to keep rou�nes as stable as possible during the flurry of packing and prepara�on for the big move.

Research by-laws and pet licensing in your new area. Contact the local municipality for requirements concerning domes�c animals in your new area. Ask about licensing and by-laws concerning the responsibili�es of pet owners. Also check into the availability of off-leash areas for dogs in your new community.

Special considera�ons for rural areas. If your new home is in a rural area, be sure to learn the rights of farmers when neighbouring pets venture onto their property. O�en, farmers have special privileges when it comes to protec�ng their livestock.

Transi�oning your pet to your new home. Be prepared for some trepida�on, par�cularly with cats that tend not to take as well to a change in environment. Cats should remain inside for several weeks un�l they become comfortable with their surroundings. Then, allow them only short accompanied ventures outdoors.

Take your dog for several walks each day to help him become familiar with the new area. Avoid walking a dog immediately before leaving for errands or work. Plan to be home for a period of �me a�er those ini�al walks.

That way, the dog will associate his new home with posi�ve outcomes.

Addi�onal moving �ps are available at www. royallepage.ca. www.newscanada.com

Old is new in “NEO” HOME DESIGN

Most new houses reflect older styles to some extent, says Architecture Expert Jackie Craven with about.com “Even if you hire an architect to design a custom house just for you, most houses are based on some tradi�on of the past—either of your choosing or your architect’s. Colonial and Georgian designs have maintained a steady popularity over the last two centuries.

During the housing expansion of the 1990s to late 2000s, builders experienced an increased interest in homes with a Victorian or a Country co�age flavor.”

Jackie says a Neo-Victorian house is “a contemporary home that borrows ideas from historic Victorian architecture. While a true Victorian house may be short on bathrooms and closet space, a Neo-Victorian (or ‘new’ Victorian) is designed to accommodate contemporary lifestyles.”

Though the look may be tradi�onal, modern materials such as vinyl and plas�cs are o�en used in building a Neo-Victorian home today.

Here is Jackie’s list of ‘must have’ NeoVictorian details: • Scallop-shaped shingles • Complicated roofline with many gables

• Gingerbread ornaments in all eight gable peaks • Awnings For a more eclec�c approach, some homeowners install stained glass windows, either harvested from historic sources or custom created for the home.

“Just about any historic style can be incorporated into a new, or Neo, home design.

Neo-Victorian, Neo-Colonial, Neo-Tradi�onal, and Neo-Eclec�c houses do not duplicate historic buildings exactly. Instead, they borrow selected details to convey the impression that the house is much older than it really is.”

Jackie points out that most builders and house plan catalogues offer some kind of “Neo” home design, though it may be in keeping with a design theme in a new community.

She adds that the local library is a great place to find more inspira�on.

“Browse your local library and the Web for original drawings and reproduc�on house plan catalogues. Mind you, these historic house plans do not contain the detailed specifica�ons required by modern builders.

They will, however, illustrate the details and floor plans used on older houses.”

Design your living space by numbers Equa�ons are for more than just math class. Did you know there’s a proper order of opera�ons for your home too? Whether it’s arranging your couch and television for op�mal viewing, or making sure towel bars are right within reach, knowing a few key numbers can help you determine the ideal place for each item in your home – crea�ng spaces that look great and are easy-to-use.

Kitchen Calculations Do you ever feel like you’ve got too many cooks in the kitchen?

Crea�ng an effec�ve layout following the principles of ‘the kitchen work triangle, will ensure that you never feel cramped again. Comprised of your three main work areas – the stovetop, refrigerator and sink – the triangle should provide enough space to move around, but not be so large that cooking is difficult. Keep these areas between four and nine feet apart for the most efficient use of space. To keep the kitchen flow going, ensure all other appliances are in propor�on to one another, with complementary ones grouped together. For example, minimize the mess from wet dishes by placing the sink and dishwasher a maximum of 91.4 cen�metres apart.

When you’re whipping up a family favourite, easy access to kitchen areas is essen�al. Finding the right height for important elements will make your kitchen even more accessible – most countertops are about one metre high, while microwaves are typically

no higher than 1.14 metres for easy reach. Be sure to choose the correct faucet height so it’s in propor�on with other fixtures and works with your layout. You don’t want a tootall faucet that blocks your window, or one so low it’s difficult to fill sizable containers or pitchers. For example, Moen Canada says it has designed the Voss pullout kitchen faucet to be just the right height. Its lowerprofile spout is ideal for installa�ons near a window or on an island, while s�ll providing ample room to fill large pots, reduce splashing and improve rinsing in and around the sink.

Living Room Logarithm Create a lounge space to love by ensuring your living room furnishings are in the ideal loca�ons for maximum relaxa�on. Here are a few �ps to ensure your living room is comfy and func�onal: • Posi�on the couch and coffee table 45 cen�metres apart to provide plenty of leg room.

• Keep the table and sofa heights within a few inches of each other to make it easy to grab the remote or a tasty beverage.

• Arrange sea�ng a maximum of three metres apart to inspire conversa�on.

Make binge watching your favourite shows more fun – and avoid eye strain – by posi�oning your television carefully. The larger

your television is, the more distance is required between the screen and your couch. A good rule of thumb

is 6.9 cen�metres of space for every inch of diagonal screen size for an HD plasma, LED or LCD television.

Perfectly Proportioned Bathroom Func�onality is key when you’re ge�ng your grooming going. Ensure your bathroom has plenty of room for personal care by keeping a few essen�al measurements in mind.

Start by making certain the layout provides proper clearance for any doors, including cabinetry and shower stalls, and aim for at least 76.2 cen�metres of space between the three major areas – tub or shower stall, sink and toilet. Toilets should range between 109 and 121 cen�metres in height from floor to seat, with at least 45 cen�metres of elbow room on the sides. And make sure the shower is roomy, too – shower stalls should be at least 91.4 cen�metres by 91.4 cen�metres with showerheads placed at a comfortable level for the individuals in your home.

Similar to kitchen countertops, vani�es with sinks should be about 36 inches high, with accompanying ligh�ng at eye level for shaving or makeup applica�on. Avoid dripping hands, says Moen, by hanging towel bars in a spot that’s easy to reach, ideally near the sink. Its popular range of towel bars, robe hooks and other accessories are simple to install.

Now that you know the numbers, you’ll find it’s simple to create spaces that improve how your home and life func�ons – no arithme�c required. www.newscanada.com

Northcote passes inspection with flying colours Two light taps on the door. I counted them. And then the door opened, and Miss Crosby, right in the middle of reading the Beatitudes, closed the Bible and put it on her desk. She, ramrod straight, nodded to us, and as one, the entire Northcote School enrolment rose and stood staring ahead at the front blackboard.

Not a head turned, but we knew without a doubt, the Inspector had come to make a call! We were all in awe of the Inspector, and knew Miss Crosby too, had for him the greatest respect, mixed in with a bit of fear.

It was the Inspector who decided if the school was being run in proper fashion, and if the teacher was doing her job. After all she was being paid $250 a year!

He walked right up to the front of the room, shook hands with Miss Crosby, who gave the slightest of nods, and in our best stage voices, we said, as if we were singing the words in the church choir, “Good Morning, Inspector.” He smiled out at us, a gold tooth glittering when it caught the rays of the morning sun through the east window. I could see Cecil’s ears move up and down, a talent he had, but which had to be kept in check since Miss Crosby frowned on such behaviour. Especially in front of the Inspector!

I immediately got a pain in the pit of my stomach. He would be examining every last scribbler, desk drawer, listen to us read, and what I dreaded most of all, he would fire a question to whomever he had in his eyesight, and delve into every subject we took at the Northcote School.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

These questions could be about arithmetic, which scared the daylights out of me since that was one of my poorest subjects, or he could ask you to name the townships in Renfrew County. So we just had to sit it out, and wait.

Miss Crosby examined our desk drawers at least once a week, so I knew he would find no fault there. Our books had to be neatly piled, and our pencils, ruler and eraser all in a neat pile or else we would have to take the entire drawer out, wipe it out with a cloth, and under her scrutiny neatly pack the drawer again.

The Inspector and Miss Crosby were talking in whispers at the front of the room, and occasionally they would cast an eye down on us, who were sitting there shaking in our shoes.

Then the questions began. Of course, bad Marguirite was dying to be singled out and asked a question, and she was squirming in her seat like she had ants in her pants. But the Inspector ignored her, and picked out my friend Joyce and then Velma, both of whom were smart as whips, and I could see Miss Crosby’s shoulders relax. They had no trouble answering the questions, and he then moved to the senior classes, and seemed satisfied that they too had been ably taught by Miss Crosby.

He pulled his watch out of his vest pocket, took note of the time, shook Miss Crosby’s hand, nodded to us, and headed for his coat at the back door. For several minutes Miss Crosby just stood at her desk. She would flicker her eyelids a bit, and I knew without a doubt she was silently giving up a prayer of thanks. It was coming on to lunchtime, and we had yet to have our morning recess.

Miss Crosby let out a long sigh, and then a smile broke out across her face, just like it did after we had held a successful Christmas concert. “I think we’ll have a long recess this morning, and roll right into lunch. So get your clothes on and go outside. Then you can have your lunch later.”

I mentally added up the time we would be away from our desks, and as close as I could figure it was well over an hour!

Cecil moved his ears up and down, and cracked his toes in his gumrubbers, and Miss Crosby paid no attention at all.

I was pretty sure I saw Piano Joe put a piece of gum in his mouth, and bad Marguirite, not to be outdone, took an apple off the lunch table that didn’t belong to her. Miss Crosby ignored everything, as if unruly behaviour was a common occurrence every day.

It was amazing to me what you could get away with after the Inspector came to call.

Kanata Seniors Council celebrates 20th anniversary Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The organization that convinced an unwilling city to build the Kanata Seniors’ Centre celebrated its 20th year in existence on March 3.

History was recounted and cakes were cut with the help of city councillors, providing an interesting contrast to seniors’ story of their struggle convincing what was then the City of Kanata to build the centre.

The Kanata Seniors Council, which has several West Carleton members, was started in 1996 with the express purpose of having a centre built. Seniors had been pushing for a centre for many years prior, with the City of Kanata recommending one be built by 1995.

Though attempts to get city councillors on board floundered, the Kanata Seniors Council brought the Happy Companions, the Heritage Club and the Golden Era Club seniors and others together to take on the task.

But to accomplish this, seniors would have to overcome one particular characteristic.

“The seniors are just too damn polite,” said Owen Prince, the man who headed up the fundraising committee for the centre, “and I never was.”

THE RUN-AROUND

Kanata seniors had been lobbying the former city of Kanata to fund the creation of a seniors centre for years, said Prince, but they were told time and time again it couldn’t happen.

“The leader of the seniors would go cap in hand to the mayor and she would explain that all-in-all there just wasn’t any money at all for a seniors centre,” said Prince. “He would come back and convince the seniors that, nope, there is no money.”

However, that notion was tested when the city spent

nearly $1 million on beautifying the city to win a Communities in Bloom national award, he said. The next year, the city spent just over $1 million on the contest, and that was the last straw.

“The seniors were up in arms over that and I said, ‘You know, there’s your proof,’” said Prince.

Asking Prince to help them eschew politeness, the seniors lobbied individual councillors and got a yes-vote from the city.

funds helped to pay for the centre that includes a kitchen, despite opposition from the city, said Prince.

He estimates the city spent about $1 million on the centre, and it was officially opened in December 2000, a few weeks prior to amalgamation with the City of Ottawa.

The work of Prince, Laughton and others was highlighted at a March 3 event at the centre, with current Kanata Seniors Council president Sarah Trant, a former well-known West Carleton resident, presiding.

The politicians in attendance – including Mayor Jim Watson and Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon – remarked on the contribution volunteers continue to make at the centre, which is mostly run by volunteer seniors. Trant pointed out past-president of the seniors council Kay Dubie, and director Liz Tucker in particular.

Watson congratulated the seniors on their years of work and the centre, saying, “You’ve got an amazing facility that’s quite frankly the envy of many other parts of the city.”

The centre is one of four cityowned seniors centres in the city, and has members from Nepean to West Carleton.

The Kanata Seniors Council began with a goal of having 200 members, but that has since grown to about 1,000, said Prince.

Seeing what the council and the centre has been able to accomplish over the years, Prince said the work involved has been worth it.

“It’s a tough thing, being a senior,” he said. “You figure that if not (for the centre), what would seniors be doing except sitting at home and watching TV? But this way they expand their circle of friends, they get these various interests … there is an area where they come in and feel good because it’s all surrounded by seniors and it’s all run by volunteers.”

Residents want openness in selecting central library site jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A Carleton University professor is calling for an impartial committee to select a site for the city’s new central library.

Paul duBellet Kariouk, who is also an architect, said the committee should be made up of experts and librarians from other municipalities that have a landmark central library – such as Vancouver, Montreal or Halifax.

Kariouk was one of seven delegations that spoke to the library’s board during its meeting on March 8.

Library board chair Tim Tierney said the city’s process follows best practices. “We have an integrity commissioner,” he said.

“As we go through the consultation components, we will then look at best practices that were used in Halifax and Montreal.”

Tierney said when the city releases the requests for proposals, that is when a site will be named. “There is no site selected, I have to stress that,” he said.

Kariouk worked with Friends of Lansdowne to fight the deal with Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group and said he worries about a similar one-source deal with the new library branch. He said he worries that a Lebreton Flats site is a done deal, citing rumours that the city has done soil testing at the location.

Tierney said it’s far from a done deal.

The site at 557 Wellington St. is the only city-owned of the nine identified as potential spots for the central branch of the library.

Tierney confirmed that there had been soil testing at that site.

“The understanding is we have to do it as part of the city process,” he said.

“It’s not to say we are choosing 557 Wellington St. There will be plenty of consultations around components of the library. And we are waiting to roll out the plan, it will

come out in the next couple of months and people will be advised how they can participate.”

The Wellington Street site is the only one the city has done soil testing on, Tierney said.

Kariouk said it doesn’t make sense for the city to choose a site west of Bronson Avenue.

He said the population won’t increase to the west for at least another 10 years.

“All we have to do is look at the War Museum,” he said. “It’s a beautiful facility, but the amount of traffic that goes through it is negligible because there’s nothing else around there. Maybe there will be more there in 10 years, but they told us that 10 years ago.”

Kariouk isn’t the only one calling foul on the site selection process.

Jevone Nicholas, who spoke on behalf of Bookmark the Core, said he wants to see the new library closer to the existing Metcalfe Street branch.

“It’s about access,” he said, adding people should be able to walk or take transit to the central branch – and visit it as part of things they were going to do.

That makes more sense in the downtown core, he said.

Five of the library’s nine identified potential sites are located west of Bronson Avenue, and Nicholas said users won’t be able to access those locations as readily as they do now.

Nicholas said he’s glad to see the commitment to open houses and town halls.

Right now the city is running two plans concurrently, one would be to build a standalone library and one to do a joint project with Library and Archives Canada.

“By the end of this year we would be in a position to know whether we are partnering with them or going on our own,” Tierney said.

The Ottawa Public Library will launch a project website in the spring in an effort to keep residents in the loop.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, March 24, 2016 61

Children catapult into art Twelve children had the opportunity to learn how well catapults and art go together during March break programming at the Carp library on March 18.

Andrew Boisvenue, with the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, taught those in attendance about mangonel catapults, which use tension to launch objects.

The children built their own catapults using cardboard tubes, popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and bottle tops, before having the opportunity to launch paint at a castle taped to the wall.

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 A positive attitude may help you overcome any challenges that come your way this week, Aries. Maintain this positivity and things will ultimately work out for the best.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, offer others positive feedback when they deserve it. Your willingness to give credit where it’s due is why others find you so easy to work with.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, others will be very receptive to your fresh ideas this week. Be prepared to explain these ideas in as much detail as possible and enjoy the fruits of your labors.

Trust that others around you can handle these tasks just as capably. Enjoy the extra free time. You earned it.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Someone’s criticism may shock you, Pisces, but that could be for the best.

It may just ground you and bring you back to reality.
