It’s a guard house with a difference — it has a small nuclear-attack bunker underneath it. But, then, what else would you expect from the guard house that served as the entrance point for those arriving at the Diefenbunker, today Canada’s cold war museum, and prior to that for 35 years also served as the federal government’s central emergency headquarters in the event of a nuclear war. This guard house, considered as part of the supporting facilities of what is now a national historic site, has now been renovated and rehabilitated, returning it to its original state while also improving its current use as a visitor welcome centre for the Diefenbunker Museum. A ceremony to mark the reopening of this restored guard house was held Friday morning, March 31, with the ribbon cutting for the occasion done by Lizz Thrasher, facility manager for the Diefenbunker Museum, assisted by Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon and City of Ottawa West Carleton-March ward Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. In her remarks, facility manager Thrasher noted the guard house is an integral part of the character-defining elements of the Diefenbunker, with the building serving as the entrance point for soldiers and civilians alike during its time as a communications facility for the Canadian military as Canadians Forces Station Carp (CFS Carp) as well as being available as the federal government’s central emergency government headquarters if there were a nuclear war. And the guard house continues to be the entrance point to the site for thousands of visitors to the Diefenbunker Museum site today. The building serves as the Diefenbunker’s ticket booth during its busy season — the starting point for group tours and visitors. See NEW SIDING, page 3

New siding, windows and more Continued from page 1
Both MP McCrimmon and city councillor El-Chantiry, in their remarks at the reopening ceremony, praised the Diefenbunker and its role in the community, with MP McCrimmon calling the Diefenbunker her favourite museum while Coun. El-Chantiry was equally effusive about the site, saying that he loves visiting it. The renovation and rehabilitation work undertaken on the guard house included new siding, new windows, new insulation, replacement of one window that has previously been covered up, structurally reinforcing the interior to allow for better visitor flow, a new reception desk and, of course, a fresh coat of paint. All of this work was able to be done thanks to the support of the federal government’s Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program as well as support from the city of Ottawa’s Rural Community Grant, a city Heritage Grant and funding from the city’s Cultural Facilities Fund. The project also involved the efforts of a number of engineers, architects and contractors. Among those specifically thanked for helping with the project were: Brendan Goodfellow, the previous facility manager for the Diefenbunker Museum who laid much of the groundwork and preparation for the project; Ian MacLean of Integrated Heritage Management for his work in project development and management; and Paul Champion-Demers who designed and constructed the new desk and counter in the
guard house. Visitor attendance at the current Diefenbunker Museum has increased by 100 per cent over the past three years and it is continuing to grow. Over 75,000 visitors were welcomed to the Diefenbunker last year at this museum, which tells Canada’s cold war story and history to these visitors from all over the world. Known as the Diefenbunker since John Diefenbaker was the prime minister at the time of the construction of the facility, the underground bunker was formerly the Canadian Forces Station Carp (CFS Carp) from 1959 to 1994 when the facility was decommissioned and became a community facility. During its years of operation by the federal government as CFS Carp, it served not only as the federal government’s central emergency government headquarters in the event of a nuclear attack but also operated on a day-to-day basis as a primary strategic communications facility for the Canadian military. The Diefenbunker complex is a 100,000 square foot, four-storey underground bunker, constructed with 5,000 tonnes of steel and 32,000 cubic feet of hand-poured concrete. Built under the supervision of Lieutenant Colonel Ed Churchill, who later went on to build Expo 67, the Diefenbunker facility was the first time that a critical path project management methodology was used in Canada. And it was successfully used as the facility was completed in only 14 months, both on
time and on budget. The Diefenbunker today is the most important surviving Cold War site in Canada and is recognized as such by the Historical Sites and Monuments Board. The Diefenbunker complex, of which the guard house is a part, is physical evidence of Canada’s determination to survive and operate as a nation during a nuclear attack. The guard house building at the entrance to the site served as the entrance point for soldiers and civilians arriving at the site both during its operations as CFS Carp and also during its potential use in a nuclear attack. That’s why the guard house has a small bunker of its own underneath it which would have protected the three soldiers on duty at the guard house in the event of a nuclear attack. The guard house, as a part of the cultural landscape and character defining elements of this national historic site, indicates the demarcation between the civilian world and the military/governmental world of the bunker. Preserving and enhancing this building enhances the overall visitor experience today as it is the Diefenbunker Museum’s ticket booth during its busy season and the starting point for group tours and visitors. The Diefenbunker Museum is gearing up for another record-breaking year this year which is Canada’s 150th anniversary year. The Diefenbunker Museum is located at 3929 Carp Road in the Village of Carp. Its website can be found at www.diefenbunker. ca.

Special to the Review
�����
It’s a Canadian tradition and youngsters of the Carp Cooperative Nursery School got to experience it firsthand last week. The tradition is visiting a maple sugar bush and that’s just what the nursery school students did, visiting a local maple sugar bush in Fitzroy.
����� ��
A strong foundation in the arts is education for life
The youngsters took a tractor ride into the bush to see how maple trees are tapped for their sap which is then boiled to make maple syrup. The nursery school students then got to enjoy another Canadian tradition, eating delicious pancakes topped with maple syrup. What an exciting adventure for these youngsters!

OPINION
Connected to your community
Spring, where are you?
T
here’s lots of possible talking points among friends and acquaintances these days. There’s Ottawa as a sanctuary city, the legalization of marijuana, the fentanyl drug crisis, the flood of refugees, the value of naloxone kits or the plethora of potholes in our roads this year. Lots of serious matters for a person to ponder, to comment on and to argue about. And then there’s Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations, the upcoming Tulip Festival, the Ottawa Senators Stanley Cup run and even the Masters golf tournament, if you want lighter matters in which to engage with friends or even strangers on the elevator. From a patriotic perspective, there are the upcoming Vimy Ridge celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of that milestone battle in Canadian history, an event generally acknowledged as being one of the foundational moments in the creation of the Canadian identity. Imagine the thrill of being there, as many Canadian students will be. So, lots to talk about for sure.
But the topic that seems to be at the top of any chat list these days is, what else, the weather. And these discussions are universally similar — like, just when is this ongoing, up and down winter, going to end. It has been like the Energizer bunny — it just keeps going and going and going! A couple of weeks ago, we moved the clocks ahead. Remember that adage: “Spring ahead, fall back.” Well, we may have sprung ahead but it wasn’t to spring but just to more of the same old, same old — cold winds and snow, with a tantalizing day of springlike sunshine perhaps thrown in, just to tease us. So, where are those April showers? Where are those warm early spring days that rejuvenate you after a long snowy, cold winter and make you look forward to the days to come. Instead, more snow, more cold, more winter. It is getting, we think, to be maple syrup time. This happens as spring breaks and winter is no more. Indeed, there is a reason why maple syrup is sweet — because spring itself is so sweet. But where, oh where, is it this year?

The Junos are a good way of raising consciousness about the musicians we produce, particularly those in the less commercial genres. The celebration should not be allowed to obscure the need for work to be done by artists, by governments, by the corporate sector, and by fans of the music. No matter where it is located, music does not support itself.

Owls, owls, everywhere
W
hat’s with all the owl sightings lately? First they started popping up in my Facebook feed. Someone snapped a pic of a Great Horned Owl on a tree in their backyard. Someone else shared a photo of a beautiful Barred Owl they spotted in the park. And then of course there was that Snowy Owl who got a closeup on a Montreal traffic camera last year. My social media feed is full of the feathered fellows. Local media have done programs about the baiting of certain wild birds by photographers — so they could get the great shot. Is this why we are seeing so many owls? Because someone in our area has been trying to lure them? And what is the problem with that, anyway? Granted, it isn’t a very happy scenario for the tiny rodent being used as bait, but does it harm the owl? There is a lot of money in wildlife photography if it is done well. Anything caught on film that we don’t typically see every day is a wonder to
behold. The baiting of birds for this purpose can cause quite a bit of tension between photographers and birders, however. The former are trying to make a buck and a name for themselves, while the latter are trying to witness the bird in its natural habitat and behaviour. Many birders are also concerned that the luring of birds with fake calls or bait will cause the animal to become too familiar and trusting of humans, who may lead them to harm, intentionally or not. The Ottawa Field-Naturalists’ Club and other birding organizations have stopped posting owl sightings on their websites. The baiting of birds is not illegal, but the concern is that the animal will in some way be harassed by the photographers. They might try to contain the bird or irritate it into opening its eyes for the shot. Birding sites are developing and posting a Code of Conduct or ethics in an attempt to protect the birds from being bothered. And then there is the belief that you should not interfere with wildlife
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife or attempt to alter its behaviour. The saying “a fed bear is a dead bear” is brought to mind. Owls can be quite trusting of humans and when they have found a suitable habitat, they often stay in the area. Once their location is discovered, they are at the mercy of the humans. In some cases when baited by a photographer the owls are being kept awake and prompted to hunt during the day, which is not their habit. Some wildlife enthusiasts, on the other hand, argue that we feed other wild birds: why not owls? With live ro-

dents as their main food source, they have been known to starve to death over a long winter. If we can help them to survive the cold, why shouldn’t we feed them? I’m not likely to go into a pet store and buy live mice for this purpose, but if I knew an owl was hanging around my barn, fighting cats for mice and going hungry, I might be persuaded. The Farmer would think I was crazy, of course, putting live mice in a barn where we keep cats to control the rodent population. I had my own owl sighting this winter.
I was driving down Prince of Wales Drive, just north of Bankfield. The owl was on my left, perched atop a telephone pole. It appeared to be staring across the road at the billboard on the other side, which featured a photo of an owl, wings spread. I don’t know if owls can recognize a photo of another owl or not but if I hadn’t been in such a rush I would have pulled over and captured that spectacle on camera. I look for the bird every time I pass that spot now. Fred Schueler of Bishop’s Mills sent me a photo of a whet owl that actually flew into his back porch when he left the door open a couple weeks ago. The bird might have just been seeking shelter, but it certainly knew which house to enter. Schueler is a renowned naturalist. If the owl stays around long enough, it might even get to be the subject of a painting by Fred’s partner, wildlife artist Aleta Karstad.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, April 6, 2017 11
Senator Peter Harder at West Carleton Secondary School By John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Want to learn about Canada’s Senate? Then ask a senator. And that’s just what students at West Carleton Secondary School got to do. And it was not just any senator — they got to hear and ask questions to Sen. Peter Harder, the Government Representative in the Senate who has been tasked not only with shepherding legislation through the Senate, but also in leading efforts to modernize the institution. While Sen. Harder has been a senator for only a year, having been appointed on March 24, 2016, he brings to the role nearly 30 years of experience in the federal public service including serving as a deputy minister in several portfolios including immigration, industry, foreign affairs and international trade before retiring in 2007. In 2015, he helped manage newly elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s transition to governing the country. Grade 10 students from two classes including that of civics teacher Heidi Curtis who arranged for Sen. Harder’s visit to the school on Friday, March 31 assembled in the school library to hear and view his presentation about the Senate and to ask him questions about the Senate. In his presentation, Sen. Harder provided the students with the background history of the Senate and in-
deed of Canada’s parliamentary system of government. He spoke about the differences between Canada’s political system and that of the United States. Sen. Harder noted that the previous Wednesday, March 29, was the 150th anniversary of the day that Queen Victoria gave royal assent to 1867’s British North America Act, the British Parliament’s legislation that created Canada. He explained Canada’s parliamentary system of government, noting that it is different from the congressional system of government that exists in the United States. As for the Senate, he pointed out that the Fathers of Confederation in Canada, at the 14-day long Quebec Conference leading up to Confederation, had spent eight of the 14 days discussing how to organize the Senate. The Senate was designed with 24 senators representing what were then the four regions of the new country of Canada, namely Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Maintaining regional balance for these four regions was considered important, especially in light of the experience in the United States, where regional differences had led to the Civil War. Students were able to ask Sen. Harder questions about his job as a senator and its positive benefits and its challenges. They also were able to ask about the process now being followed in how senators are appointed.
This was the first time that Sen. Harder made a presentation about the Senate to high school students, although he has made numerous presentations to various adult groups on the topic. But it will obviously not be the last such presentation to students, as Sen. Harder observed online after the presentation that the students had asked great questions and he noted that his favourite part of his job now is sharing ideas with students. He also noted online that one of the questions he was asked was if he could rap. The answer was no, although he observed online that he does play the cello. Teacher Heidi Curtis, who believes in providing students with the opportunity to bring their studies to life, had arranged for Sen. Harder’s visit to the school. Indeed, she herself had attended the Library of Parliament’s Teacher’s Institute on Parliamentary Democracy. “Politics can be a challenging subject area to engage young people, so I think it is important to connect stu-

dents personally with politicians so that they can put a face to the topics we have covered in class,” she states. She expressed appreciation to Sen. Harder in taking time from his busy schedule to visit West Carleton Secondary School and talk to the students in the Grade 10 civics classes. School principal Reg Lavergne was equally appreciative of Sen. Harder’s visit to the school. See WEST CARLETON, page 13

West Carleton students learn about Senate opportunities to demonstrate “The opportunity to meet Sen. and refine excellent leadership Harder is an experience our “Our students have multiple skills,” principal Lavergne said. students will always remember.” Students at the presentation also had the opportunity to receive a brochure outlining the composition and work of Canada’s Senate. This brochure told about the Speaker of the Senate, about the senators themselves, about the Senate Mace and about the various roles of those in the Senate such as Leader of the Government, Leader of the Opposition, Clerk of the Senate, Usher of the Black Rod and Pages. Today’s Senate in Canada has 105 senators from a wide range of backgrounds including Aboriginal leaders, business people, farmers, journalists, lawyers, doctors and teachers, among others. Senators have the right to introduce, examine, amend, reject or approve legislation and John Curry/Metroland to conduct special in depth Senator Peter Harder (left) shows West Carleton Secondary studies.

resentation, giving senators a special role in looking closely at the regional impact of legislation and government policies. The Mace, which is made of brass and gold, is a symbol of the Senate’s authority. When the Senate is in session, it rests on a table in the Senate chamber, pointing toward the Throne seats which are used by the Sovereign or Governor General when they might visit the Senate.
The Clerk of the Senate is the Senate’s chief administrative officer, managing the Senate’s day-to-day operation. The Usher of the Black Rod is the Senate’s formal messenger who delivers messages to the House of Commons such as when to witness the giving of Royal Assent to enact legislation adopted by Parliament into law. Canada’s Senate will be relocating where it meets in
2018, moving its chamber to the Conference Centre (former railway station) across from the Chateau Laurier where it deliberations will be held while the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings undergoes renovations. The relocation is to be for 10 years. The House of Commons, during this renovation period, will be relocating to the West Block of the Parliament Buildings.

World Cup silver in New Zealand for Joanna Brown of Carp Special to the Review
Joanna Brown of Carp had the first champagne shower of her triathlon career on the World Cup podium after winning the silver medal on Sunday, April 2 in New Plymouth, New Zealand.
The 24-year-old Brown battled through light rain, cool conditions and one of the deepest World Cup triathlon fields there will be all season to cross the finish line in second with a time of 59 minutes 29 seconds. “This isn’t rain (on my face), it’s tears.

happy about the podium,” said Brown. Brown came out of the cold 750-metre beach-start swim in the calm waters 15 seconds off the lead, and worked hard, pushing the pace on the tricky bike conditions to close the gap on the lead pack — setting herself up for a run at the podium. A beast on the bike, Brown was originally scouted for her running strengths that propelled her to bronze medals at both the Junior and Under-23 World Championships early in her career. Now back in elite form, Brown bolted out of second transition Sunday onto the five-kilometre run. This group broke down to just six athletes after the first two laps, leaving many of the world’s best going head-to-head in a game of run tactics for the bell lap. When the dust finally settled, Katie Zafares topped Brown at the finish line, winning the event for the second time with a time of 59:28. Zafares also won the prestigious New Plymouth World Cup race in 2014, and became the fourth consecutive woman from the United States to stand on top of the podium in New Zealand. The silver medal was an emotional result for Brown, a top prospect for Triathlon Canada since 2010 when she won the bronze at the Junior World Championships, but her development was derailed with nearly three years of injuries. Things became so low she even contemplated retirement after representing Canada at the 2015 Pan-American Games in Toronto. But thanks to enormous support from family, friends and her coach at the time — Craig Taylor — Brown soldiered on.
A shift to a new training group in 2017, led by Jono Hall and Triathlon Canada’s National Performance Centre based out of Victoria, Brown is now back on track. Brown first broke through this year by winning the CAMTRI Sprint Triathlon recently in Sarasota, Florida. “It’s just been a number of years of slowly building back up and trying to be consistent. I was really fortunate to be based in Arizona with Jono Hall for a lot of the winter, and a really amazing group of athletes that have kept me motivated and excited about training. I’m going to just keep building over the next three years. I want to be a part of the Canadian Team headed to Tokyo.”

The “Man of the Shroud” exhibit is here! This exhibit, which is comprised of a lifesized authentic reproduction of the Shroud of Turin as well as more than 30 display panels outlining historical, scientific and theological information about the shroud, is now on display at St. Isidore Catholic Church on March Road until April 11. This exhibit deals with the history, significance and scientific aspects of the Shroud of Turin, which is widely believed to be the authentic burial cloth of Jesus. The exhibit consists of a series of professionally-prepared documentary museum boards, a collection of re-created artifacts of Christ’s passion, and an actual-size photographic reproduction of the Shroud of Turin itself. The Shroud of Turin is a 14-footlong linen cloth which bears the mysterious image of a man who has been scourged and crucified. Until April 10, there will be daily presentations held for students and adults at St. Isidore Church. Presenting these seminars will be Barrie Schwortz of Los Angeles, who will host “35 Years of Shroud Science: A Personal Perspective”, and also Dr. Phillip Wiebe, whose presentation entitled “Authenticity of the Shroud of Turin and its Significance for Theology” will be given on April 8, 9 and 10. Dr. Wiebe, from Vancouver, who is a professor of philosophy at Trinity Western University in Richmond, B.C., will talk about the history of the shroud, carbon dating, the shroud’s threedimensional properties and competing views on
how the image on the shroud was formed. This “Man of the Shroud” exhibit will be free to attend, although donations will be accepted. Everyone is welcome to attend. The exhibit will be on display on Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.; while on Sunday, April 9 it will be on display from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Schwortz’s presentation will take place on Thursday, April 6 at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. for students and at 7 p.m. for adults; and on Friday, April 7 at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. for students and at 7 p.m. for adults. Dr. Wiebe’s presentation will be given on Saturday, April 8 at 10 a.m. for senior high school and college students and at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. for adults; on Sunday, April 9 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. for adults; and on Monday, April 10 at 1 p.m. for senior high school and college students and at 7 p.m. for adults.

Ladies’ fastball team off to World Masters Games by john curry
john.curry@metroland.com
A ladies’ ball team representing the Ottawa Valley is travelling halfway around the world to do what? Well, play ball, of course. The Ottawa Valley Strong ladies’ fastball team will be competing in the 2017 World Masters Games in Auckland, New Zealand from April 21 to April 30. The 16-member team, which includes players from West Carleton, Almonte, Kanata and surrounding areas as well as one player from Saskatchewan and four from southern Ontario, leaves April 15 for these 2017 World Masters Games. They will play against 22 other teams including two others from Canada. The team has just received its new uniforms and are ready to go. For 56-year-old Jayne Cody of Kinburn, the trip to the World Masters Games not only marks a culmination of her lifelong passion for the sport but also marks a personal triumph as she has worked her way back from a heart attack which she suffered in March 2014. The team, Jayne explains, is comprised of players aged 45 to 58 who have raised their kids and put them through sports and now are doing something for themselves. “It’s our time now” is the tag line for the group, Jayne says. “I just love the sport, I love the game,” Jayne says, noting that she has played it since she was
six or seven years old. Others from the area come from Kanata, Arnprior, Stittsville and other communities. The team has hosted a GoFundMe account and has held raffles and a ‘women in sport’ dinner with music and silent and live auctions, raising the $80,000 needed for the team to travel to these World Masters Games in New Zealand. For the past two years, the team has practised indoors during the off-season, using gyms at South Carleton High School in Richmond and at West Carleton High School at Dunrobin. In addition, the team has been playing during the season in the Canada’s Capital Fastball League, which includes teams from Quyon, Nepean, Ottawa, Kars and other areas as well as the Ottawa Valley Strong playing out of Carp. At the World Masters Games, where over 20,000 athletes will compete in more than 25 different sports, the Ottawa Valley Strong team will be playing in the recreational ball category since the team has never competed in these World Masters Games before. The team will be playing every day of the Games and will be marching in the opening and closing Olympic-style ceremonies, walking in with the Canadian contingent at the Games, expected to number close to 2,000 athletes. Four of the players, including Jayne, are returning to Canada right after the Games while others are going to travel to see other parts of that area of the world before returning home.

Sweet smells of spring
A
udrey said it was nonsense. Spring didn’t smell any different than any other time of the year. And she practically yelled out “smell”. She was in a bad mood because her best friend Iva couldn’t come over that Saturday morning, because she had extra chores to do. But I knew for an absolute fact that the arrival of spring brought with it a special smell in the air. Mud. I could smell mud. It wasn’t an unpleasant smell, but once the snow melted and the ground was wet, I could smell mud. I would know spring would be soon upon us from the smell. And there were other signs too. Just into the new year, Mother would
have received her packets of vegetable seeds, ordered from the Steele-Briggs catalogue, and little slat boxes would be sitting all over the house. And I could see sprigs of vegetables pushing up, and what would be flowers coming through the earth. I would put my nose as close to the little plants as I could get without touching anything of course, and I would smell Spring. Some of the little flat boxes would be in the parlour, which would still be closed off for the winter. Mother said some of the little plants had to be in a cool spot, and the room would take on the sweet smell of growth. The smell of spring. Once the winter was broken, Moth-

MARY COOK Memories er would tell Audrey and me to open the upstairs windows when we were doing our Saturday morning chores. Even though there was still a bite in the air, Mother ordered the windows open while we stripped the beds, dusted the furniture and the floors, and turned the feather mattresses. And wafting through the open window was the smell of spring And where I noticed it more than any other place, was when I went into the part of the barn where the sheep were kept. New lambs were arriving regularly, as they did every spring. I could smell the wool. To me it had an odour all its own when winter was breaking, and not like the wool on the sheep when they were full grown. And I would think it was the smell of new birth ... the smell of spring. Even the Northcote school began to smell differently. The boys big rubber boots were exchanged for high top running shoes, so the smell of wet socks was no longer there, and the school took on a ‘cleaner’ smell, enhanced because Miss Crosby would have started leaving the door open for a spell when morning classes began. Sap boiling on the Findlay Oval, filling the kitchen with the sweet smell of spring, even when all the snow had yet to melt in the back yard. And one day I made the mistake of scooping up a small handful of mud at the back door and Emerson saw me. He ran right into Mother to tell her I was eating it. Which was a barefaced lie. All I wanted to do was put it to my nose. To breathe deeply its musty scent. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

T
his month marks the 100th anniversary of one of our country’s pivotal moments – the Battle of Vimy Ridge. It was on April 9, 1917 that four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force joined together in an effort to overtake the Germans who had succeeded in securing and defending the strategic ridge, located in the north of France near the town of Arras. The Canadians would pay a huge price for victory but in overtaking the enemy, once thought to be unbeatable, they accomplished something the Allies had failed to do on several previous occasions during the First World War. This battle represented a coming of age for the country. Still so closely tied to Great Britain, Canada distinguished itself for the bravery of its troops, its training and determination.

Two brothers, together forever
N
icole Chénier looks at two faded photographs and wonders what the two men in the black-and-white copy were like. She never met Olivier or Wilfrid Chénier. If the First World War – and the Battle of Vimy Ridge – had never taken place, she would likely have known her two cousins very well. Olivier and Wilfrid were brothers, growing up on a farm in nearby Buckingham, Que. They enlisted in the Royal Canadian Regiment the same day. They served together, and then died together the same day at Vimy at age 26 (Olivier) and 27 (Wilfrid). Today they are buried side by side, beneath the French soil. Nicole, who today lives in the South Keys area, says her father often told stories, but never had much to say about her cousins Olivier and Wilfrid. “I think my dad was too young,” says Nicole. “He didn’t know a lot about them. I think for some reason (the family) never talked about it.” Nicole has an elaborate package of research about the Chéniers (at one time spelled Chené) and the family’s centuries in Canada. The family dates back to the 1600s in France. Despite the 100 years since Vimy Ridge took the lives of more than 3,000 Canadian soldiers, there are still holes in families – and family histories. Those who died are still remembered, even as the decades pass.
If they had survived the war, Nicole is sure Olivier and Wilfrid would have returned to work on the family’s farm. She would have been much younger than them, but is sure they would have spent time together. “I think the family would have been really proud of them,” she said. “I’m sure they would have been heroes in the family.” – by Nevil Hunt, Metroland Olivier and Wilfrid Chénier died on April 9, 1917, the first day of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. They are buried in Cabaret Rouge Cemetery, near Souchez, France.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton New Investment in Ottawa Kanata will be welcoming a new business to our community’s growing tech sector as Ford Motor Company announced that it will be establishing a Research and Development (R&D) Centre in the city. Building the R&D Centre is part of a larger investment that will be devoted to developing autonomous and connected vehicles. This is further recognition of the tremendous depth that our city has in the technology sector, and will create terrific middle-class jobs!
Venta Flag Presentation I had the honour of presenting to the ‘Vimy 100’ students of Venta Preparatory School a Canada Flag that had flown atop the Peace Tower. The students will take the flag with them to the Vimy Ridge 100th anniversary ceremonies. I’m sure they will be excellent representatives of the youth of Canada. I wish them all the best in their travels through France, the Netherlands and at Vimy. Bon Voyage!
Discover TechNATA I had the pleasure of attending the Discover TechNATA technology expo and talent hunt, organized by the Kanata North Business Association. Mayor Jim Watson was also on-hand to witness the tremendous talent that exists within Kanata’s technology community. Representatives from almost fifty businesses, six academic institutions, and countless job-seekers all helped cap off a fantastic expo that expertly showed-off our region’s growing expertise and success in the technology sector.
Renaissance Supply I had the opportunity to tour the Renaissance Repair and Supply office in Kanata. Renaissance is one of the many businesses in our riding that have seen success in capitalizing on a unique, previously undersupplied sector of the technology industry. Their ingenuity has proven successful in creating new opportunities within the technology sector of our economy. My thanks to everyone at Renaissance for a great visit.

2017 World Masters Games in New Zealand Continued from page 17
Once the team was accepted for entry in these World Masters Games, they had to find a couple of qualified coaches to guide them in this competition. This was accomplished as Scott Searle, who coaches the Ottawa University Gee Gees ladies team and has coached at the national level, and Al Staats, an experienced coach from the Brantford area, signed on to coach the team. Jayne says that these two coaches have instilled a competi-
tive edge in the team, overcoming any complacency which the players might have had due to their long involvement with the sport. Jayne herself says that she still enjoys the game, feeling fortunate that she is still competing and playing ball at her age and now she is getting to do it at a World Masters Games, where she will be representing her local area. She herself is a pitcher, and altogether the team has four pitchers and three catchers among its
players. She says that the team has some good hitters and also some speedy runners. The team will be taking along some city of Ottawa pins and Canada pins to exchange with players from other teams. When they return, Jayne expects that the 11 players from the local area who are on the team will continue to play ball locally, some in the Braeside league and some in the Glen Cairn league in Kanata. The World Masters Games
involves athletes from countries around the world, ranging in age from 25 to 101. Athletes attend the World Masters Games not only to compete on a world stage against their sporting peers but also to meet fellow athletes from around the world and to enjoy the atmosphere of the host city, which in this case is Auckland in New Zealand. The World Masters Games are held every four years. In 2013, they were held in Torino, Italy.
Tax Clinics I would like to remind everyone that our office is still hosting free tax clinics in conjunction with the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program until 25 April. Tax clinics in Kanata will be held in our Constituency Office on Tuesdays, and one more session will be held in Fitzroy Harbour on Thursday, April 13th. Appointments are required.

ENJOY THE GOOD LIFE Do you dream of owning a home in a respectable upscale neighbourhood, but you don’t have the means to afford one? Or are you an otherwise happy homeowner who is ready to retire from gardening and lawn maintenance? A solution to try on for either case: a condominium!
If you’re wondering if condo living is a fit for you, be prepared to consider a few things. Every condo owner is the proprietor of his or her own unit and owns a share of the common areas, such as stairs, halls, patios, and laundry rooms. All the building’s co-owners must sign a condominium declaration,
a legal document which includes a description of the building, its purpose, condominium fees (for snow clearing, maintenance, and insurance for the common areas), regulations concerning co-owners’ meetings, as well as the powers and duties of the condominium’s board of directors.
There are several advantages to condo ownership: daily upkeep of the condominium property is not the responsibility of individual owners, and together, condo owners can decide to install a swimming pool or other communal equipment that might be cost-prohibitive for any one individual.

Hear about container planting at Garden Club by Anita Murray
Baskets, urns, pots, window boxes. In whatever form, containers of plants are like miniature gardens that can be placed anywhere and add an instant spark to your yard for a fraction of the time, effort and cost of a full garden. “It’s a contained environment that you have a lot of control over,” says floral arranger and gardener Catherine Disley, who is a huge fan of con-
tainer gardening. “It’s a little bit more manageable, it doesn’t take the same amount of effort in time or finances.” For a fraction of the time and price of what it would take to get the same effect from a landscaped bed, “you can get a really stunning looking container that accents your whole house.” As a graduate of Algonquin College’s horticulture and landscaping program and having been a senior designer at some of Ottawa’s premier

floral shops, Disley knows of what she speaks. She’ll bring that knowledge to a talk on Tuesday, April 11 at the West Carleton Garden Club in Carp called Keep it Contained: Get inspired to Create Dazzling Containers. From the basics — like the type of soil you should use, selecting plants, planting techniques and watering — to tips on the importance of mulch, creating containers for curb appeal and how to decide what suits your house the best, Disley will share what’s required to get optimum growth out of the containers and offer lots of plant combinations that will work in settings ranging from full shade to full sun. “If you’re limited for time or energy, then containers are a great way to go,” she says. And with some of the self-watering systems you can get on timers (yes, she’ll talk about those, too) you don’t even have to remember to water them. Disley will also cover the importance of watering properly — often one good watering is better than several smaller ones — and using something organic in the bottom, like fall leaves, moss or pine needles, to help hold moisture in the pot. And the type of pot counts, too. Concrete or cast iron containers in full sun are not a great idea, for instance. “If they’re in full sun, basically you’re baking your plants.”

While there are basic guidelines to creating containers, which she’ll point out, she’s also a fan of breaking those rules, and will share some of her favourite creations that from a designer’s point of view are all wrong. Her final advice: “Don’t be intimidated to try something different, because it’s only by doing that and experimenting with it that you realize, ‘Well, gee, I really like that and it really does suit my house and make everything work.’” Keep it Contained: Get inspired to Create Dazzling Containers will take place April 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Carp Memorial Hall, 3739 Carp Rd. (at Donald B. Munro Drive). Non-members of the West Carleton Garden Club are welcome to attend (there is a nominal fee of $5 for non-members). For details, visit wcgc.ca.

The recovery of the bald eagles By Michael Runtz
Fifty years ago, the sighting of a bald eagle was cause for celebration. I have fond memories of Sloan Watters taking me to Mountain Chute dam during winter in the 1960s to look for eagles reported there (I didn’t recall seeing one on those trips). Back then bald eagles were more than rare; they made the endangered species list in the United States in 1978 and in Ontario in 1980. Early records indicate that bald eagles were historically common in North America. But sadly their presence was not appreciated. Misconceptions that eagles killed livestock and competed for game abounded, so they were shot, snared, and poisoned. Some states offered rewards for killing eagles; in a misguided effort to increase salmon stocks, between 1917 and 1952 Alaska paid more than 128,000 bounties (initially, at fifty
cents per eagle, rising to $2 a bird). In 1970, on a Wyoming ranch, shooters were paid $25 per eagle; 770 were reportedly killed. In Ontario, eagles and other birds of prey fared no better. Jack Miner, Canada’s most decorated conservationist, killed thousands of birds of prey under the pretense of protecting “important” songbirds and waterfowl by killing “evil” predators. One common method was a steel trap placed atop a pole near poultry pens. The cruelty of this method was denounced in the first publication (circa 1931) of Toronto’s Brodie Club (a group of respected biologists and naturalists). Eagles, already rare, received another devastating blow from DDT and other organochlorine pesticides. These caused eggshell thinning and severely affected eagle reproduction (as it did peregrine falcons). With all those pressures it seemed extinction
was inevitable. But DDT was eventually banned (largely due to the heroic efforts of Rachel Carson and her book Silent Spring) and legal protection was finally provided. Slowly bald eagle populations began to recover. A program involving the transplanting of young birds to areas depleted of eagles played a minor role in the recovery. I recall with great excitement discovering a bald eagle nest near Mountain Chute with Donnie Gordon 30-plus years ago. It was at this time of year and we watched an eagle jumping up and down on a snowless point. It then rose up with a great load of dead grass in its talons, and flew to a nearby island. Suspecting it was lining a nest, we climbed a nearby hill and soon spotted a white head sticking up from a massive stick structure in a white pine. The recovery of bald eagles has been touted as one of the greatest conservation success stories in North American history, and today eagles are commonly encountered all through their former range, including Ontario. Recently, I received news of a pair near Ottawa that have taken up residency in an osprey nest atop a nesting platform. Not only did a nearby resident see them carrying sticks to the nest, she also watched one steal a fish from an otter! Majestic in appearance, bald eagles regularly bully otters, ospreys, and other animals and steal their food. Perhaps its status as the national bird for our neighbours to the south is more than appropriate in current times. The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca

34 West Carleton Review - Thursday, April 6, 2017
Mayor Jim Watson notes growth taking place in tech sector in city Continued from page 32
Winner in the “Best Restaurant — Fast Serve” category was Luna Crepes and Café, a family-owned Kanata business. Finalists in this category were Joey’s Urban in Kanata; Pita Pit in Kanata; Quitters Coffee in Stittsville; and Tomaso at the Kanata Centrum. Papa Sam’s, which has been in Kanata for over 40 years, won the award in the “Best Restaurant — Full Serve” category. Finalists in this category included: Aperitivo at the Kanata Centrum; Boston Pizza on West Hunt Club Road in Nepean; NeXT restaurant in Stittsville; and The WORKS in Barrhaven. James Baker of the Keynote Group, an employment services firm launched two years ago, received the Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. “This has been a hell of an experience,” he said in his remarks on receiving the award. “The best thing we ever did.” The Business Leader of the Year Award went to Kevin Ford, CEO of the publicly-traded Calian Group Ltd. in Kanata. He was described as a visionary who leads and inspires others, allowing them to achieve their potential. In his remarks on receiving the award, Ford praised
what he termed his amazing team at Calian, saying that a leader is only as good as his team. He noted that Calian offers a range of services serving the aerospace, communications and military sectors.

City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson addressed those at the gala before the presentation of the awards, noting the excitement and growth that is happening in the tech sector in the city and particularly Kanata. He noted that the LRT will be getting to Kanata sooner than first expected thanks to the efforts of the west end councillors and KanataCarleton MP Karen McCrimmon.
He also noted that tourism is Ottawa’s thirdlargest industry after government and high tech, commenting that there will be over 200 special events in the city this year due to the 150th anniversary of the country. He thanked the business people at the gala for the confidence that they have shown in the local economy and for employing people in the area.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku
Barsaeinrs
horoscopes
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you’re not afraid to take risks or go where others fear to tread. Use this trait to your advantage and inspire others to set aside their reservations as well.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 This may be a dull and lazy week, Leo. But that can be a good thing. This means you can recuperate from anything that has been ailing you, or just relax.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You should get what you desire this week, Sagittarius. It may be a larger office or tickets to that big game you have been mulling over. The joy will be in the surprise.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you have a knack for making money this week. Keep abreast of any business ventures that may cross your desk. This may be a lucrative time for you and your family.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 A massive incentive could be coming your way, Virgo. It’s best to be aware of all the goings-on inside and outside of the office. This can be a great chance to get ahead.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Do not worry so much about what others think of you, Capricorn. You have been traveling down the right path for some time, and others recognize that you have your act together.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Do not leave anything until the last minute this week, Gemini. It’s best to get all of your work done as early as possible, just in case some fun pops up for the weekend.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, it’s not in your nature to complain, and this week will be no different. Take your usual approach and confront a problem rather than complain about it.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 A big opportunity is mentioned in passing this week, Aquarius, and you begin to mull over the possibilities. This may be the right time to strike while the iron is hot.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you have been waiting for some sort of compensation, this could be the week that it arrives. Remain patient and that patience will ultimately be rewarded.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week your thoughts could turn to faraway places or daydreams may distract you from the daily grind. An upheaval of some kind is imminent.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, even when faced with some personal misfortunes, you are able to present a stiff upper lip and maintain a positive attitude.

A weekly guide in legal matters
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 wife and I are buying our first home. Can you briefly explain to us the legal process of buying a home and standard closing costs? Most first time home buyers are not familiar with the lawyer’s involvement in a home purchase and are surprised by all of the closing costs that are part of buying a house. Legal Process of Purchasing a House Once your offer to purchase a home is accepted by a seller, you or your real estate agent would send a copy of the offer to your real estate lawyer. Your lawyer will receive mortgage instructions from your bank or mortgage company, prepare all legal documents required to transfer the ownership of the house, register a mortgage on title to the property and perform all required searches. At least a few weeks prior to the closing date you would need to arrange for home (property) insurance and call utility companies to open your accounts. You will meet with your lawyer a few days prior to your closing date to sign all the legal documents. Your lawyer will let you know the amount of funds you would need to bring to their office in order to close. On the closing date your lawyer will receive the mortgage funds from your bank, deliver the funds to the seller’s lawyer and register the transfer of ownership and the mortgage with the Land Registry Office. After all of these steps are complete, your lawyer will give you the keys to the property. This usually happens in the afternoon of the closing date.

Standard Closing Costs Land Transfer Tax - The amount of Land Transfer Tax is based on the purchase price and the rate of tax gradually increases from 0.5% on the first $55,000 up to a maximum of 2%. First time home buyers might be eligible for a Land Transfer Tax Rebate of $4,000. Title Insurance Premium – Most real estate purchase transactions are titled insured. The cost of title insurance ranges from $350 and $650. Registration and Search Fees - The Land Registry Office charges fees for performing the title search, as well as a $75.27 charge for each registration, one for the transfer and one for the mortgage. Legal fees and administrative expenses – Your lawyer will charge a legal fee for their service, as well as disbursements related to the transaction, such as the costs of a courier and fees charged by banks for bank drafts.
