Food access centre seeks donations for shelves School snacks, canned meats, pasta needed Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The West Carleton Food Access Centre wrote a plea on Facebook on April 1 for donations of some muchneeded items.

Its shelves are lacking school snacks, canned meats and pasta, reported volunteer Sharon Roper.

Demand from families requesting assistance has been rising steadily. The food access centre is helping an average of 55 families a month, up from 50 families last year.

It supplied 453 families with food and other essential items in 2015, an increase from about 400 the previous year.

“We have gone up, we have increased,” said Roper. “I think it’s because of the new location and being handicap

accessible and the way the economy is going.”

Specific items needed include canned meats (salmon, ham, chicken, turkey), canned stew, pasta sauce, canned pasta (Alphagetti, Zoodles), Kraft Dinner and cereal, said Roper. Peanutfree snack items for children’s lunches are also in short supply.

“Peanut-free snacks and juice boxes, puddings are always good and the little fruit (cups),” said Roper.

Cash donations are always welcome as well and people who donate $20 or more will receive a tax receipt, she added.

Drop boxes for the food access centre are located at the West Carleton Community Complex in Kinburn (5670 Carp Rd.), Scotiabank

branch in Carp (438 Donald B. Munro Dr.), Faith’s Foodliner in Carp (433 Donald B Munro Dr.), and Dunrobin Meat and Grocery (2808 Dunrobin Rd.).

The organization moved to a new home in the lower level of the West Carleton Community Complex earlier this year. The new location offers improved storage space, is more centrally located and is fully accessible.

The West Carleton Food Access Centre can be contacted by phone at 613-832-5685, through email at wcfoodaid@ gmail.com, and by searching West Carleton Food Access Centre on Facebook.

Put water fee on property tax: residents Continued from page 1

“If you look at the various services they basically seem to be roads, operations and maintenance,” said one resident who identified himself as a civil engineer.

Another resident questioned why it wasn’t one of the original options proposed by the city, saying, “It seems a sensible position to have started on.”

Deputy city treasurer Isabelle Jasmin said it could be added, but cautioned that putting the fee on property taxes would raise the rate.

“If it’s on property taxes, it’s definitely going to be based on assessment. It will also be based on all the farmland and forested land too,” she said. “When we’re saying we want to make it a fee, we’re excluding farmland and forested land. If it’s on a tax, all of that will be included. You

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry agreed that would likely be the case.

“To make it part of the (roads) budget, that makes it all more transparent but would increase the amount of (property) tax increase every year,” he said.

4 West Carleton Review - Thursday, April 7, 2016

The three options presented to fund stormwater service at the meeting included: • A flat rate: all customers pay the same amount.

• An assessment-based rate: uses property assessment values to allocate the charge, excluding farmland and forested land.

• Rate based on hard surface area: a flat rate based on the average hard surface area by property type.

That means a rural home valued at $360,000, with 249-square metres of hard surface area would see a monthly stormwater fee of: • $5.94 under a flat rate; • $6.75 under an assessment-based rate; • $9.29 under a hard surface area rate.

The meeting in Kinburn was the second of eight public consultations being hosted by the city to garner feedback from residents on how it will charge for stormwater management (city-wide), and water and wastewater services (in urban areas).

The operating and capital cost for stormwater services in 2015 was $42.2 million, with $8.4 million of that allocated to rural services. Under the new options, rural residents would contribute about

$2 million to the pot.

Since amalgamation, only residents who receive water bills have been paying for stormwater services – something the city has called “unfair.”

“Stormwater is created by runoff on hard surfaces; it’s not connected to drinking water consumption and currently that’s how it’s being collected,” said Jasmin.

Commercial properties, which have a greater impact on stormwater runoff due to larger hardsurface areas, are paying a “disproportionate share” of the amount while residents on septic and well systems are contributing nothing, she said.

NO ONE-SIZE SOLUTION

Many attendees, however, said rural residents shouldn’t be expected to pay the same rate as their urban counterparts, largely because the level of service in the two areas is so different. Special consideration – or compensation – should be given to those whose properties facilitate drainage without using municipal systems.

“What I would like you to consider is an option where we don’t get charged,” said Shirley Dolan, president of the Carleton Landowners Association. “The reason for that is – and many people have brought it up here – the rural areas serve as a sink for stormwater runoff.

“The culvert near my farm, what it does is dump water from other properties onto my farm; and that’s fine – we’ve done ditching there, we’ve done tile drainage and the water runs down into a stream on my farm,” she added.

See CITY’S, page 5

City’s proposal ‘an Stormwater rate consultation at city hall a drizzle oversimplification’: landowner Jennifer McIntosh

Continued from page 4

“There are many properties like that and I think that what we have here is an over simplification – one size does not fit all. I think that maybe you have to go back to the drawing board and have a look at what the rural area’s all about,” said Dolan A number of residents spoke about the costs they’ve incurred to construct and maintain their own ditching and drainage systems.

Mike Westley, who lives near Flewellyn and Conley roads in Goulbourn, said he’s spent “thousands of dollars” to keep city water off his property, much of which comes from two quarries in the area, as well as runoff from new developments.

“It encroaches onto my place and then can’t get off. None of my water goes to stormwater ditches, it goes to the Hobbs drain extension through the back of my property,” said Westley.

“This as far as I’m concerned to me is double dipping. I’ve paid big money for this Hobbs drain extension.”

Others said it’s unfair to charge rural residents the same stormwater fee as city dwellers when those living outside the urban limits are paying more for hydro.

Wayne Perrin said the city is “cherry picking” what issues it tackles.

“We’ve paid many extra fees since amalgamation and they only want to assess the one that suits them right now,” he said.

“A lot of people would be happy if we were on Hydro Ottawa; one-third of my Hydro One bill would pay this rate structure increase,” said another resident. “Let’s figure

out the hydro (issue) first and then maybe you’d have some happy people here.”

Coun.

El-Chantiry said the large turnout for the meeting showed rural residents’ “dissatisfaction” with what the city has proposed.

We’ve paid many extra fees since amalgamation and (city staff ) only want to assess the one that suits them right now.

Wayne Perrin

“We need the work done, make no mistake; we have to find a way to collect the $2-million from the rural area,” he said. “I heard loud and clear they want the tax to come from the road budget, not an extra tax.”

He said the option will be put on the table for council to consider.

“Really, we have to find a way how we’re going to deal with this. We have to try our best to find a way (that satisfies both rural and urban areas).”

Have your say! theresa.fritz@metroland.com

In a stark comparison to attendance at rural sessions, residents trickled into the city’s public consultation meeting on new options for the city’s stormwater, water and wastewater rates at city hall on March 30.

The city’s proposed changes to water rates haven’t drawn much ire from residents in the core, said Capital Coun. and environment committee chair David Chernushenko.

“People may not like the change, but they can live with it,” he said.

While the city’s proposals include tweaks to the water rate, many residents have taken issue with the new stormwater fees.

A meeting held in West Carleton the day before was standing room only, and 50 people were turned away because there wasn’t room at the West Carleton Community Complex.

At a session in Kanata Monday, rural residents outnumbered their urban counterparts.

Dixon Weir, general manager of environmental services, said residents hooked up to the city’s water have been subsidizing the work on ditches and culverts, which are primarily located in rural

areas.

That’s one of the reasons that the proposed rate restructure would include added fees for rural residents on well and septic.

Rural residents would be on the hook for $2 million for stormwater management.

The city’s total stormwater management annual budget is $42 million, with $8.4 million allocated to the rural area.

Currently, the wastewater and stormwater fee is combined into the sewer rate, which is only funded by people connected to city pipes.

REVENUES

Isabelle Jasmin, the city’s deputy treasurer, said that one of the reasons for the change is a dip in revenues.

While it’s a good thing residents are conserving water, it means revenues have gone down, while capital costs for maintenance have stayed the same.

“Right now the rate structure isn’t aligned with the benefit,” Jasmin said.

Jasmin said the new rate structure would include a fixed rate, as well as a reduction in the cost for volumetric use.

Most residents would see a $9 charge per month for water and a separate $8 charge for wastewa-

YOUR GUIDE TO

ter. The idea would bring in a fixed amount of money to cover costs.

Jasmin said the increase to residents would be minimal.

Adele Muldoon, who made the trek to city hall from West Carleton, said the city should have kept it the way it was before amalgamation.

Before that, residents paid an

annual fee for the maintenance of ditches and culverts.

Muldoon says the ditches are now poorly maintained, adding one of her neighbours has trees growing in her ditch.

The last public consultation on the proposed rate restructuring is at the Nepean Sportsplex today (Thursday) at 7 p.m.

Man dies from injuries in Carp car crash Donation page created to raise funds for young daughter Jessica Cunha

Jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A GoFundMe page has been created for the young daughter of a man killed in a single vehicle collision in Carp.

Tristan Nelson-Barrett died in hospital on March 27 after suffering serious injuries in the crash near the intersection of Beavertail and Richardson Side roads on March 23.

He leaves behind a fouryear-old daughter.

The 47-year-old father was two months away from graduating as a nursing student at Algonquin College, according to the online fundraising page.

“In loving memory of Tristan Nelson-Barrett, his fellow nursing students are raising money to support the family he has left behind. This in-

cludes an RESP for his beautiful four-year-old daughter Isa, whom he loved very much,” wrote page creator Stephanie Goddard.

“Tristan Nelson-Barrett was a loving son, a caring brother, an incredible friend, a compassionate nursing student, and a devoted father. He has touched the lives of many and will be sincerely missed.”

The death of NelsonBarrett was the second fatality to hit the Algonquin College community after Christina Voelzing, the victim of an Easter Sunday shooting in Bells Corners, died from her injuries early on March 30.

Algonquin College President Cheryl Jensen said she was “deeply saddened to share more difficult news in a week which

has already had its share of heartbreak for our community,” in an email to staff and faculty following Nelson-Barrett’s death.

“As we grieve together, we must also remember and honour Tristan and Christina and all that they brought to our College community.”

Flags at the college were flown at half-mast on honour of Voelzing and Nelson-Barrett.

The GoFundMe page has raised more than $7,000 for Nelson-Barrett’s family. For details, visit gofundme.com/ tristansfund.

The first session, on Tuesday, April 12, will focus on citizen science. From stream watch to tracking butterfly migration, citizen science is drawing ordinary people into some of the most important and transformative research of the 21st century.

Propelled by new technologies, especially social media, researchers are relying on residents to help collect and analyze scientific data at scales and in volumes never before feasible or affordable. Local conservation authorities, universities, conservation groups, naturalists clubs, provincial and national governments all have citizen science projects whose volunteers collect data on wildlife. In Ottawa, projects include monitoring birds, butterflies, bees, reptiles, frogs, water quality in streams and bio blitzes in natural areas.

Find out more on April 12 at Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Drive. Starting at 6pm attendees can browse displays by local organizations active in citizen science, and then listen to presentations by two impressive speakers at 7pm: • Dr. Jeremy Kerr of the University of Ottawa, and the co-founder of Bumblebeewatch.org, will discuss how the public can become involved in ongoing research programs.

• Andy Kenney, from the University of Toronto, will present a community-based approach to the stewardship of urban forests.

Managing conflicts with wildlife I recently received feedback from a resident who had a coyote visit her property. As this type of encounter is quite common in the rural setting, I thought it would be appropriate to provide some basic information on how to best manage living with wildlife.

Our wild neighbours have the same basic needs as we do: food, water and shelter. Sometimes, this can lead to conflicts. Homeowners need to animal proof their homes and property to try and prevent wild animals from moving into their walls or attics, rummaging through their compost bins, or visiting their yards. Visit ottawa.ca and ontario.ca/page/wildlife-and-nature for useful tips on managing wildlife conflicts. Residents can also go to the Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre (wildlifeinfo.ca/ conflicts.html) for humane and cost-effective solutions to common wildlife concerns.

Still two sets of rules for the same service

T

he City of Ottawa’s review of its car for hire polices and regulations gets one thing right, and a lot that is still wrong.

Yes, it’s 2016 so the notion that you can stop a service such as the app-based Uber ride share operation is impossible.

Once the genie is out of the bottle, it’s impossible to put it back in.

But the recommendations that were put forward on March 31 after the city released its review of the taxi and limousine bylaw treat two things that are essentially the same thing differently, with two sets of rules for what are both, in fact, taxi services.

There are nearly 70 recommendations in the report – one of them being to allow ride-sharing programs, such as Uber to operate legally.

That is the thing the city got right.

What it got wrong is to treat Uber and the rules its drivers must operate under, differently from what taxi companies must adhere to.

Uber calls itself a “ride sharing� service, but the reality is that Uber operates exactly like

a taxi service except for the fact that it wants to call itself a “ride sharing� service. The difference in how these businesses operate is semantics.

It is perfectly understandable that the traditional taxi industry is fuming over what the city is recommending.

Coun. Diane Deans can say the city has “taken the handcuffs off the taxi industry,� but the traditional taxi industry still must follow rules and operate under a different set of regulations than its direct competition. “Nothing about this is fair,� said Amrik Singh, who is the president of Unifor Local 1688, which represents taxi drivers. “The rules are supposed to be the same for everyone.�

One would think that is the way it should be, but the idea of a level playing field for all car for hire operations in the city has bitten the dust.

Yes, it is 2016 and the age of new technologies is well established. But when did the idea of fairness and a level playing field go out of style?

When a springtime pond is more than just a pond

T

here’s a pond that’s not supposed to be there in the park. Every year around this time it appears - a good-sized little lake, maybe a foot deep at its deepest point, formed by melting snow. As it shrinks it begins to be more like a giant puddle.

Some day, maybe, somebody will do something about it.

But I hope not. Kids wade into it. Dogs love to run through it.

They drag sticks into the middle of it and drop them. It is interesting to ponder why they do that.

Gulls and even ducks float on it. And when the pond freezes over, as it can in these uncertain temperatures, people even skate on it.

I like that it is unplanned, unpredictable, unorganized. It just appears and the neighbour-

Spontaneity is a pretty rare thing in our day and age, especially for kids. They have a range of activities mapped out for them by their busy parents. There’s nothing wrong with that. Why shouldn’t kids learn to dance, play piano, play hockey, baseball or soccer?

activities have to be organized.

When you see boys and girls playing hockey, baseball or soccer, now, it is probable that they have team uniforms on.

There’s a lot to be said for that, but there’s something to be said also for kids just throwing a ball or playing soccer in the park, with no referees and their own rules.

That’s why the instant pond is so nice. There are no rules for a giant puddle, except for the ones you make up. There are no uniforms, except for rubber boots, no equipment, except for sticks you throw in for the dogs to chase.

Now, if you were one of those people who rant about the nanny state, about government interference in our daily lives, you’ll fear that the pond/giant puddle’s days are numbered. A concerned parent might call city hall and

demand that it be filled in. A kid might catch cold or the standing water might breed mosquitos, or something. Sports organizations might not like the unevenness of the field and ask that it be leveled out.

In a way it’s a miracle that something like that has not taken place.

It’s also a miracle that some expert on recreation didn’t put up a play structure there and then take the play structure down later because of safety concerns.

Those things could still happen.

But they haven’t so far. The pond has been in existence for quite a few years now, arriving just before spring, disappearing some time in May. Maybe it’s because city hall has better things to do, higher priorities than a low spot in a park. It’s

also possible that, each year, by the time somebody decides to do something about it, the pond is gone. You can see them pulling up, with their trucks, unloading lots of equipment, only to find that there is nothing there.

It could be any of these things.

Or maybe, heaven forbid, it could be common sense. Stranger things have happened.

Bill 100 is a bad bill, must be killed To the Editor: Bill 100 says that an ‘easement’ for a snowmobile trail could be placed on a farmer’s private property.

An ‘easement’ is a legal document that gives someone else a legal right to do something on your private property. An ‘easement’ becomes legal when it is registered on the title to the farm at the Land Registry Office.

A farmer does not have the legal authority to remove an ‘easement’ from his property.

An ‘easement’ is the removal of a farmer’s private property rights.

Farmers and snowmobilers have had a positive working relationship for trails across farmland for over 40 years. It has been a respectful partnership for both sides. It works!

So who thinks we need Bill 100 with its talk of ‘easements’ and ‘eligible bodies’. Who will control the ‘easements’?

The farmers didn’t ask for .easements’. The snowmobilers

didn’t ask for ‘easements’. An ‘easement’ offers no benefit to either party.

But the government thinks we need Bill 100. Why? Sec. 5: the Minister may recognize a trail as an ‘Ontario Trail of Distinction’.

Sec. 6: the Minister may establish a ‘Trail Classification System’.

Sec. 8: the Minister shall maintain an ‘Ontario Trails Strategy’.

Sec. 12(1): an ‘eligible body’ means the Crown; any government agency, board or commission; an Indian band or community; a municipality; a Conservation Authority; a board under the Education Act; a registered charity or trustee or donor; any American Land Conservancy Trust under sec. 170 h of the Internal Revenue Code (United States); or any other person or body or nominee.

Sec. 12(3): an ‘easement’ may be granted to an ‘eligible body’.

Sec. 12(8): an ‘easement’ may be assigned by an ‘eligible body’ to another ‘eligible body’.

Sec. 13: This Act does not apply to government owned or controlled land.

As you can see, just about anybody can be an ‘eligible body’ and, therefore, just about anybody will have a right to use your private property if you grant the ‘easement’. It is interesting to see that the government does not want this Act to apply to their property, only private property.

There is always the risk that the legislation could be amended to change the word ‘may’ to the word ‘must’ – grant an ‘easement’. This was done with the Provincial Policy Statement a few years ago.

Another even more worrisome risk is that the terms ‘Ontario Trail of Distinction’, ‘Trail Classification System’ and ‘Ontario Trails Strategy’ could be incorporated into Provincial Policy for Land Use

Planning and then forced into Municipal Official Land Use Plans as land use restrictions on private property.

This was done with wetlands – first came the powerless wetland designation, which over time was changed to ‘Provincially Significant Wetlands Designation’, which meant any kind of work or alteration was prohibited by law. The private landowner lost the use and wealth of his property.

Bill 100 is a threat to ‘private property rights’. Some farmers are closing their farms to snowmobile trails to protect their ‘private property rights’.

Bill 100 must be killed.

Then farmers and snowmobilers can work together to restore the trust and co-operation that they had before, so that the trails can be open for the enjoyment of Ontarians for decades to come.

How to

choose a

Summer Camp Matt Barr

Summer is a great time for kids. They need to get away from the everyday stress of school as much as adults need to get away from their full time jobs.

What better way to help kids relax and enjoy their time off than to send them to summer camp? (By the way, this gives parents a nice break too.)

Before you make a camp decision for your child, there are a lot of factors to consider. You will want to do your homework before you drop your child off for the day to be cared for by people you hardly know. It’s not easy. There are so many camps to consider and they come in all shapes and sizes. There are day camps, overnight camps, golf camps, horseback riding camps and science camps to name a few.

Here are some general considerations: Your child’s interests What does your child like to do? Children know what they like and don’t like. Ask them for their input. If your child is active and loves to play sports, a sports camp is probably right for him or her.

If your child is creative, then choose a camp that offers arts and crafts. Camp choices are as varied as children themselves. Choose a camp with the specific focus geared toward your child.

Day camp versus overnight camp Depending on the age, maturity and independence of your child, he or she may or may not be ready for an overnight camp. Some overnight camps accept children as young as six years old. Only you can decide when the time is right.

Convenient location Location is important because you will have to drop off and pick up your child every day. You’ll want to consider your drive time and also keep in mind the hours of the camp.

Cost Of course, the cost is something to consider. The cost of camp should reflect the service provided. When comparing camps by price make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. Some camps include lunches, while others include snacks, t-shirts, hats, extended hours and off site field trips. Price alone, can be misleading. I’ve always believed, “You get what you pay for”.

3. What is the ratio of campers to counselors? Ratios of 8:1 are common.

A maximum of 10:1 is probably the maximum ratio you would want.

Research With pencil in hand, contact the camps you are considering and ask some specific questions. Not all camps are created equal, so ask the same questions to each camp director and compare their answers. You need to feel comfortable with their answers before you make your choice. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few questions to get you started:

4. Are snacks or a lunch provided? Is the lunch program optional or mandatory?

1. Who do you hire as counselors? Are they experienced? How old are they?

Are they certified in CPR and First Aid? Have they undergone a criminal record check?

8. Can you provide a list of references or testimonials? Word of mouth is the best reference. Ask around and find out where other parents are sending their children.

2. What are your hours for the camp program? for pre and post camp care? Is there an additional cost for extended hours?

9. How are different age groups divided?

5. What do you do on rainy days?

Are your facilities air-conditioned?

6. Do the children swim every day?

What are your rules for supervision at the pool? Is there a wading pool for young campers?

7. Do you offer any discounts?

10. What if my child doesn’t like the camp? Do you offer a guarantee?

What is your cancellation policy?

11. Where can I find more information about your camp? Do you have a web-site? Can I register online? Can I pay by credit card?

The best way to determine if a particular camp is right for you is to ask a lot of questions. Camp directors are used to answering questions about every detail of camp. If you don’t get the answers you are looking for, keep searching. You need to feel good about your decision.

After all, you want your child to have an awesome camp experience that will forge memories to last a lifetime.

MP did get all shouty in Commons To the Editor: Re: Cheryl Gallant’s letter to the editor decrying their omissions and denying that she “yelled” at MP Karen McCrimmon (West Carleton Review, March 17).

Ms. Gallant, I saw the video of that question period session, and I can’t help but notice something a wee bit odd.

In your letter complaining that parts of your verbal exchange were omitted in Metroland’s reporting, you yourself seem to have made rather a significant omission.

In fact, you left out the best part of the exchange, where McCrimmon takes you to task because “(using) cheap political rhetoric to score points on the backs of

military families is way below the dignity deserving of this House. That is absolutely unacceptable.” Couldn’t have said it better myself.

As for your main contention that you were not yelling, I’m sorry to say it just doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.

You got all finger pointy and indignant, radiating your faux outrage directly at Karen McCrimmon, and you radiated it rather loudly as you are wont to do.

So actually Cheryl, you did kinda get all shouty there. But hey, why take my word for it? Why not check the official You Tube channel of one Cheryl Gallant and see for yourself (https://youtu.be/1oWXhHSBUWk)?

My favourite thing about that video is seeing your

melodramatic posturing, moving from a calculated display of contemptuous anger to oozing concern for our veterans, and contrasting it with McCrimmon’s genuine ire at your flagwrapped pandering.

I can watch that all day and can’t thank you enough for posting it.

I encourage you to continue the monomaniacal pursuit of publicly sharing every scrap of limelight you get, regardless of how much a fool it makes you look.

Never stop being you, Cheryl.

You can feel free to stop getting re-elected, but never stop being you.

It started out as a fairly large challenge – when it was all said and done it was a weekend-long event, moving calf #5 and her mom into the barn.

The Farmer had morphed into real estate agent mode Saturday morning and gone off to Carleton Place to host an open house.

I was left with the house to myself and I planned to turn on the music and do some creating in the kitchen – something I rarely have time for. Also, the Farmer cannot resist peeking over my shoulder and adding his own comments and ingredients on the rare times that he finds me in ‘his kitchen’.

I set out the deli meats, condiments, buns and toppings and got ready to make mini sandwiches for my daughter’s ‘Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’ and then I got distracted. I found some leftovers and decided it would be a nice treat for the sheepdog. So I pulled on a toque, my boots and a farm coat and headed outside.

I realized I was overdressed within about 10 minutes.

Here’s what happened. I circled the barnyard and feeders, doing the daily headcount of the herd. Twelve cows, one bull, and four calves.

Wait a minute. Make that five. A brandnew chocolate brown calf lay curled under her mother’s nose. She was shivering in that stupid polar vortex wind.

This is where, if the Farmer were home, we would put a halter around the calf and hop-step her into the barn, her mother on her trail. We like to keep them inside for the first week or so, until we are sure the calf is suckling well and gaining strength.

But the Farmer wasn’t home. And for some reason I got it in my head to attempt a different mode of calf transport. I lined the gardening wheelbarrow with an old horse blanket, and made my way over tractor ruts and mud to the calf.

I lifted her up – she was extremely heavy – and my knees buckled as I placed her in the wheelbarrow. She elegantly curled her legs beneath her and snuggled into the warm cloth.

And that is as far as we got. The moment I tried to move the wheelbarrow, the wheel bent sideways and snapped off the bolt. Fantastic.

I realized I didn’t have the strength to hopstep the calf to the barn by myself. We were way over on the opposite side of the barn, through the gate and into the next field. It was too far.

DIANA FISHER Accidental Farmwife

So I put the calf back down on the grass, tucked in out of the wind at the foot of a large tree. Mama snorted at me and demanded I get out of her way. I trudged back to the house, a failed farmwife.

When the Farmer returned, I informed him of our predicament. He headed out to the shed and hitched the trailer on the back of the ATV. I grabbed the halter and hopped up for the ride.

When we reached mom and babe, it was fairly easy to get the calf up onto the trailer and into my lap. But the mom was so stressed she lost the plot. She kept circling the area where she had given birth, trying to find her calf.

She heard his cry in answer to hers, and followed us for a moment, but it’s like she just didn’t see and recognize him if he was out of scent range. She took off and headed down the field toward the bush.

“Where the heck is she going??” I asked.

The Farmer drove the ATV to the shed and let us out. He tied the calf like bait to the open shed door. Then he tried to chase the mama cow with the ATV. She kept circling the birthing spot, and head butting any other cow who tried to investigate. She must have been exhausted.

When we realized our plan was a failure, we decided to put the calf right back where we started. Where she had started. Her mom came bounding over, bawling for her calf.

We left them to bond, and a few hours later the calf was happily feeding under her mom, pressed up against her warm side.

The next morning we checked the new family and discovered the mom had tucked the calf into the farthest corner of the barn, out of the wind, all by herself.

Sometimes you just have to trust the animals with the strongest instincts. They know what they are doing. Besides, this calf-hauling stuff is wearing me out.

Thanks to the open data program, Ottawa is now flush with apps that tell people where and when they can use public facilities, the city’s IT sub committee heard on March 31.

Joan Kuyek, chair of the Gotta Go campaign which aims to create a network of free and accessible public washrooms in Ottawa (including West Carleton), said she’s pleased with the city’s additional resources to help people in need of a place to go. “It’s important to see council taking care of one of our most basic needs,” she said.

Kuyek said there’s room for improvement though, saying the city could align the apps that help residents locate facilities with OC Transpo maps, or show the visit us at

washrooms as greyed out when they’re being renovated or not in use.

She is pleased to see the city working on paper maps of public washrooms, but would like to see more information on unisex washrooms and more work on accessibility.

“There’s not a whole lot of information about what to do if you’re in a wheelchair,” she said. “And braille is missing.”

Kuyek said the city needs more in the way of public washrooms.

“I recently visited Seoul,” she said. “I was blown away by their public facilities.”

The staff presentation to the committee showed that there are a number of apps, including Bathroom Scout, Toilet Finder and ottpee.ca.

Kevin O’Donnell developed ottpee.ca. He said the work was easy, once he discovered the city’s data on washrooms.

“There was so much behind the door,” he said.

The information is available through Geo Ottawa, an

online mapping tool on the city’s website.

City council voted last September to compile and publish data about public washrooms so third-party web developers could create an app to map out the locations.

The city collected data on 190 washrooms in its own buildings and also noted such things as the availability of baby-changing tables, building hours of operation and level of accessibility.

Robert Giggey, manager of open data with the city, said it was all about leveraging systems that are already in place.

“This is what the city excels at, taking all that information and cataloguing the washrooms,” O’Donnell said.

IT sub committee chair Coun . Rick Chiarelli said the campaign to create a network of public washrooms has come a long way.

“This is a problem for a lot of people,” he said. “So thanks for providing some relief.”

West Carleton Review - Thursday, April 7, 2016 15

Finches are on the move now that spring is here Anyone who is still feeding birds has likely noticed a noticeable increase in birdfeeder activity over the past week.

With temperatures going through wild fluctuations, birds are feasting to keep up energy reserves. And there are many species on their way back north, stopping locally to rest and eat before they complete the next leg of their journey. In particular, a number of finches have recently arrived.

An interesting feature of these seed-eating birds is that most species sport the same appearance year-round. Pine Siskins, which have arrived in droves, are little brown birds with heavily streaked

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way breasts, with their only other colour being lines of yellow in their wing feathers and splashes of yellow in their tail.

Their tiny bills are ideal for plucking minute seeds from nyger feeders, which they do with prodigious enthusiasm and copious chatter.

Slightly larger are Purple Finches. Now, for those starting off in the bird identification game, female Purple Finches give no clue as to how they got their name.

They are brown and look like oversized sparrows.

Their breasts are heavily streaked and they sport a wide, white stripe over their

eye. Their somewhat substantial bills, which allow you to separate them from sparrows, deal with larger items such as sunflower seeds.

Although decidedly more colourful than their mates, male Purple Finches are not purple either. They are bright raspberry.

Male House Finches look similar but are pink, red, or orange, never raspberry. They also have brown streaks running down the sides, a feature male Purple Finches lack.

All of the aforementioned finches do not change their appearances through the seasons.

However, another species now visiting local feeders shows a marked difference between its summer and winter feather coats. That species is the American Goldfinch, and right now the males are going through a dramatic visual change.

American Goldfinches – sometimes called ‘Wild Canaries’ – are tiny finches, not much bigger than a golf ball.

Summer males are unmistakable.

Their bodies are brilliant yellow, the head is capped in black, and the wings and tail are black. The wings also bear two white wing-bars, and the tiny bill is pink.

Like siskins, goldfinches are small seed specialists, and in late summer they dine extensively on thistle seeds.

Summer female American Goldfinches show less yellow than the males and lack a black cap, and in

ones, and their dark bill turns yellow-orange.

Goldfinches are the only finches to moult (replace) their body feathers in early spring in addition to moulting them in late summer. The spring moult allows them to undergo a dramatic change in appearance, a change their relatives never experience.

Why goldfinches change their appearances in spring while other finches do not is a mystery. But we’re lucky they do, for these little birds are now bringing welcome splashes of colour to our early spring world.

River levels on the rise, warn regulators Staff

Despite the unseasonably cold weather this week, the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) issued a Flood Watch Sunday for the entire river.

In a release, the MVCA says the significant rainfall of last week coupled with the remaining snowmelt runoff in the upper reaches of the Mississippi River system has resulted in the Flood Watch caution being in place for at least the next week.

Most of the lakes in the system are at or slightly above summer target levels but still may have ice on them, which could cause significant shoreline damage, says the MVCA. It cautions that any additional

rainfall this week will aggravate the situation.

The MCVA strongly urges people to stay off all ice covered water bodies and to remind children about the dangers of playing on or near ice covered surfaces or fast flowing water in ditches and smaller creeks.

Residents in low-lying areas, historically susceptible to flooding, should take the necessary precautions to protect their property, such as ensuring sump pumps are clear and in good working conditio and removing or securing items that might float away as flows increase.

The Flood Watch is being updated daily until the threat of flooding has diminished. Daily water levels and flows are avail-

After a very successful community gathering to discuss seniors issues last November, the Anglican Parish of Huntley is hosting a second gathering on Saturday, April 16.

All seniors in the Carp area are invited to the meeting that will run from 10 a.m. to noon at the Anglican Parish Hall, 3774 Carp Rd. The request at the first session was to continue conversations about specific issues, challenges and opportunities for seniors as they continue to live in the Carp area, ideally in their homes, for as long as possible.

At this second session the following discussions will take place: • Staying Safe and Protecting Yourself - Constable Arun Daniels from Ottawa Police Services will discuss fraud, phone scams and other safety issues specific to the senior population; • City of Ottawa Property Tax - Wendy Stephanson from the City of Ottawa Revenue department will discuss the City of Ottawa Tax Deferral program and how it works;

For as long as seniors want to get together to talk about issues they are facing as they age, we will continue to host these events with the support of our many community partners.

Reverend Monique Stone

• Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre - Julie McKercher from WOCRC will lead a conversation to gather information on health priorities for West Carleton seniors and their caregivers. This is part of their ‘Measuring Rural Community Vitality Project’.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a friend or family member who helps them in their day-to-day planning and organizing (i.e. someone who helps arrange for drives to doctors, shopping, planning of medical decisions, etc.).

“We had a fantastic response to our first session this past November,” said the Reverend Monique Stone.

“Over 65 seniors attended and the discussion was great. “Session #1 attendees suggested we get together again to talk about some of the challenges that the group had identified. The topics of this second session - fraud, safety, tax deferral and access to health supports - were created by the seniors in the room this past November.

“For as long as seniors want to get together to talk about issues they are facing as they age, we will continue to host these events with the support of our many community partners.”

The session is free to all who want to attend, but seating is limited. Coffee, tea and a light snack will be provided.

If coming, please call the parish office at 613-839-3195 or email huntleyoffice@ bellnet.ca. Simply indicate your name and phone number and the number of people who will attend on the voicemail and/or email.

Sign up to ‘BeADonor’ Public forum to focus on assisted dying Staff

The Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) kicked off BeADonor month (April) by urging Ontarians to register their consent for organ and tissue donation and encourage others to do the same.

There are more than 1,600 people waiting for a life-saving organ transplant and every three days someone dies waiting for one, points out the organization in a news release.

Under a third (29 per cent) of Ontarians, 3.4 million out of an eligible 11.9 million, are registered donors.

The TGLN notes that when families have evidence that their loved one wanted to be an organ donor, they are more likely to consent.

Where there is no proof, families consent only half of the time.

“We often hear from donor families that their loved one’s gift has brought them solace in their grief,” said TGLN president Ronnie Gavsie.

“When a potential donor

is registered, families have the comfort of knowing they are affirming their loved one’s wishes.”

Throughout BeADonor month, Ontario’s hospitals, schools, elected officials and community groups doing their part to inspire everyone to register and have the conversation about organ and tissue donation.

“Now is the perfect time to join the 3.4 million Ontarians who have proudly registered as organ and tissue donors,” says Dr. Eric Hoskins, Ontario’s Minister of Health and Long Term Care.

“It takes two minutes at www.BeADonor.ca.

One donor can save up to eight lives and enhance up to 75 more through the gift of tissue. Why wouldn’t you save a life if you could?”

In 2015, 269 deceased and 279 living donors gave the gift of life to 1,086 transplant recipients.

Since 2003, almost 12,000 Ontarians have received a lifesaving organ transplant, says TGLN.

Arnprior palliative care nurse Wendy Barkley, who is organizing next Thursday’s meeting, noted that much has happened since last year’s meeting, including two physician assisted deaths in Ontario recently.

She said Dr. Butcher will provide an update on the moves by the Supreme

Staff

The thorny question of physician assisted death will be the topic of a public forum in Arnprior Thursday, April 14.

The public is welcome at the session in the Grove Nursing Home auditorium starting at 6 p.m. The meeting will immediately follow a session on the topic for health care providers.

Ethicist Dr. Rob Butcher from London, Ontario will View All These Open Houses lead a discussion on the physician assisted death, which will become legal in Canada as soon as the federal government can work out guidelines and pass legislation.

John O’Neill The Supreme Court of Sunday April 10th 1-3pm Canada had given the fed3777 LOggerS WAy, KiNburN eral government until February to pass assisted dying legislation, but then added on a four-month extension, giving it until June.

Dr. Butcher was in ArnDonna Defalco prior last April for a simiSunday April 10th 2-3:30pm lar meeting that featured 25 SHOrt rOAD, ArNpriOr a thoughtful discussion by about 40 caregivers and citizens on the many questions still to be resolved about RE/MAX physician assisted death.

Metroland East vice-president Mike Mount announces retirement Ashley Kulp akulp@metroland.com

Metroland Media lost a community newspaper champion April 1 when its Metroland East vice-president and regional publisher closes his office door one last time.

Mike Mount recently announced his retirement in mid-March, noting it was the right time to step away from the company he helped grow in order to spend more time with his wife and three daughters, as well as pursue other interests.

“The short-term plan is to give myself some time and see what interests surface,” he remarked. “I’ve enjoyed my entire career and I hope I will find that next thing in life, both personally and professionally.”

Torstar’s Peter Bishop, who came on board with Metroland East in March, will take over for Mount.

“I have every confidence in his ability to continue to lead our region in a professional and progressive way,” Mount said of Bishop.

The 53-year-old, who has a degree in mechanical engineering and Master of Business administration (MBA), first got his feet wet in the newspaper industry in 1993 thanks to his father Bob, who had owned the former Performance Printing Ltd. company in Smiths Falls for 15 years. Mike had formerly worked as a process engineer at Albany International in Albany, New York, where he lived with his wife Karen, who was born in the U.S.

MIKE MOUNT He surprised himself when he found he was comfortable in the smaller company. He immersed himself in different departments, including pre-press, customer service and helping improve the company’s technology.

It was important for Mount to try and relate

to the different departments to understand their challenges. Once he had put his time in, he was named vice-president and five years later, eventually president.

It was under his guidance Performance Printing and the EMC group of community newspapers, saw great growth, going from a market that included Smiths Falls, Perth, Almonte/Carleton Place, Kemptville and St. Lawrence, to Ottawa, Kingston and Belleville. “Being able to grow was fun, that’s the part I enjoyed the most,” he admitted.

“We took five papers to 26 and went from 64,000 (circulation) to half a million papers delivered to doors,” Mount added, which prompted several press expansions, as well as a bigger online presence.

In 2011, Mount faced a hard decision regarding Performance Printing’s future. It was a successful but small company and had connected with the Ottawa Citizen as a strategic partner for years, but he decided to take the company in a different direction. “The goal when I started to talk to Metroland was not to sell the company, but to secure a new strategic partner,” he explained.

Over the course of a year, he said during discussions it became clear that selling the company would be the best option to secure its future. “It made more sense for the company and for everybody to sell the whole company versus trying to form a partnership,” he said.

It’s a partnership he doesn’t regret. “Metroland is an excellent company and they are

committed to newspapers, printing and media,” he commented. “I couldn’t have found a better partner and I feel fortunate it worked out for them and for us.”

Addressing changes to the industry, Mount feels there will always be a place for the community newspaper.

“Newspapers and publishing is always about connecting to your customers and to an audience. There are lots of medias that can do that, but community newspapers are one of the strongest ways you can connect with people, particularly in smaller markets,” he said.

“The changes to digital give more ways for people to access the information.”

“Newspaper is still a way for us to connect to our communities,” he continued. “Our core business is really telling our communities’ stories to people interested in learning about them. That won’t change.”

Mount said there are many aspects of his job he’ll miss, but one outweighs them all: the people. “When I say the people, I mean both our employees and our customers,” he noted. “I’m fortunate that in my 22 years working at Performance Printing and Metroland, many of the employees I started with 22 years ago still work for the company.

When you work together that long, you develop relationships and friendships that go beyond the 9-to-5 job.

“That’s what I’ll miss, having a reason to be together with a great group of people everyday.”

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton

Easter Weekend I hope everyone was able to be with family and friends during the holiday and I want to wish everyone a happy Easter. I was delighted to be able to spend time with my family and enjoy the great weather.

Carp Fair – Men’s Night I had the chance to participate in the Carp Fair Men’s Night which allowed me to connect with local community members. I always enjoy having the chance to attend local events that give me the opportunity to listen to the people of Kanata-Carleton.

Budget 2016 I was excited by the investments announced in Budget 2016 that will help middle class families, boost job creation, and invest in infrastructure. These were all key focus areas that residents of Kanata-Carleton shared with me at our last town hall. I will continue to advocate strongly for Kanata-Carleton and the City of Ottawa to receive funding from the investments that we announced.

April Householder – Electoral Reform My April householder will be delivered to your inbox in the coming weeks. You can go to: http://goo.gl/ i0VEH8 for a sneak peak.

There is also a chance for you to provide direct feedback on electoral reform and what you believe is critical for real change to occur.

Your feedback is important to me and will allow me to incorporate your views in our government plans.

Town Hall – April 26 I will be hosting my next town hall on April 26 at the Kanata Recreational Complex located on 100 Charlie Rogers Place. It will take place from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm. I am looking forward to having a chance to have a conversation with our community members of Kanata-Carleton.

Hundreds turn out to see Kanata North urban expansion plan Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

New homes, schools, parks and retail are a certainty along March Road, north of Briarbrook and Morgan’s Grant.

The exact layout of the overall development is in the last stages of planning.

The final public meeting on the urban expansion saw about 200 people turn out to see one of the last iterations of the plan, and have their voices heard.

The plan calls for four locations for schools, in addition to the existing St. Isidore Catholic School.

Each of the school boards has a site for a new school under this plan, with all but one being for elementary schools.

Senior project manager with Novatech, Murray Chown, presented the preferred land use plan for the area, located northwest of Celtic Ridge Crescent, Windance Crescent and Old Carp Road, and extends just north of the church.

The majority of commercial uses are designated for the east side of March, as it is anticipated the majority of traffic will be going north along March Road on the way home from work, giving drivers easy, right-turn ac-

Some commercial uses will be available for the south-west of March Road, with a greater amount of residential multi-unit zones as well. A park-and-ride and fire hall – planned to replace the fire hall further north on rural on Riddell Drive – are shown just south of St. Isidore school.

WOODLOT ‘GIFT’

Four parks are shown in the plan, with a large, community park abutting March Road on the south-west side.

A significant woodlot was also identified just outside of the urban expansion area, on the north-east side of the CN railway corridor.

That land will be gifted to the city, said Chown, adding that arriving at that decision was a complicated process. A large storm water management facility to be built near it, providing for a pleasing environmental area.

Under this preferred land use plan, creek corridors will be either preserved or re-aligned, and a hedgerow separating new development and existing residential south of the urban expansion land.

The information meeting took place at St. Isidore Roman Catholic Church, which is located within the urban expansion area, on March 30.

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, in whose ward the land is currently located, and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson were in attendance, along with city planners and Novatech Engineering employees who presented the plan to nearby residents.

The plan, the latest of dozens of iterations since the process began in 2013, is the result of a series of public meetings and workshops.

One attendee asked Chown if he could guarantee that development of this land would have no negative impact on the aquifer in the area.

The city’s preferred land use plan for the urban expansion area north of Kanata North is seen here. It was presented to about 200 people during the last public meeting of a three-year-long process on March 30.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Residents speak out about aquifer, traffic concerns Continued from page 22

Homes north of the planned construction are on well water instead of city pipes.

Chown said the consultant group engaged for this plan are “convinced that there will be no impact,” but added that, if there is a problem with the quality of water in the area, developers will have to solve the problem. well quality

Developers will also monitor the quality of various wells.

The resident asked if the amount of water being drawn from wells will also be monitored. Chown said the city generally doesn’t require that the amount of water be monitored, but he reiterated that if there is an issue with water, the developers involved will be required to solve that problem.

Chown discussed the plan for the expansion of March Road from two lanes to four, eventually with a bus corridor down the middle.

A resident asked if that expansion will be done before development starts, alleviating increased use of the road by trucks and construction equipment.

Chown said the road widening will not be completed by then, and explained that he does not believe the city has the money to pay for the expansion until after 2031.

However, the city will be monitoring to see when traffic pressures are such that the expansion is needed, and when money is available.

Developers have agreed to frontend that expansion.

Another resident expressed concern over connectivity between the future community and the existing ones, saying the only real access is via March Road.

Chown said that has “been a bit of a sore point,” saying the city is not prepared to build new roads in the surrounding rural area for the purposes of this community, and that the only other real access to the south would be by Old Carp Road or Halton Terrace to Terry Fox Drive.

HYDRO OTTAWA FINE

A provincial Ministry of Labour news release reports Hydro Ottawa was found guilty and fined $225,000 following a trial after one worker was killed and two others suffered injuries.

On March 22, 2012, workers employed by a sub-contractor were engaged in the installation of new hydro poles and wires under existing energized lines on Moodie Drive south of Fallowfield Road. Three workers were excavating a hole when the boom of a work vehicle came within three metres (9.84 feet) of a power line located about 20 feet (6.09 metres) above the hole.

All three workers received electrical shocks, with one worker succumbing to the injuries at the hospital. The two other workers sought medical attention at the hospital and did not suffer permanent physical injuries.

A Ministry of Labour investigation followed the incident. After a trial, Hydro Ottawa was found guilty, as a constructor, of violating three sections of the Constructions Projects Regulation. These were: • failing to ensure the boom of a vehicle was not brought within three metres of an energized overhead conductor of 750 or more volts; • failing to ensure a competent worker designated as a signaler was stationed so as to be in full view of an operator and had a clear view of the electrical conductor and of the vehicle, to warn the operator every time any part of the vehicle or other equipment may approach the minimum distance; • failing to take every reasonable precaution to prevent hazards to workers from energized electrical equipment, installation and conductors.

The company was fined $225,000 in provincial court by Justice of the Peace Brian Mackey.

On Nov. 12, 2013, a sub-contractor and co-defendant, Digsafe of Ottawa, pleaded guilty in relation to the incident and was ordered by Justice of the Peace John Balkwill to pay a fine of $125,000.

In both cases, in addition to the fine, the Court imposed the 25-per-cent victim fine surcharge. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.

Ottawa to host major triathlon championships

Local residents will have a chance to see many of Canada’s top triathletes, including Carp’s Joanna Brown, performing close up over the next two years.

They will be swimming, biking and running into the Nation’s Capital Region for the 2016 and 2017 Canadian Sprint and Standard Distance Triathlon Championships, along with the CAMTRI Continental Cup. “Having the opportunity to host major events in all corners of the country is critical to the growth and future success of our sport across Canada,” said Tim Wilson, chief executive officer, Triathlon Canada.

“Eastern Canada is extremely passionate for all Olympic and Paralympic sports. That enthusiasm is no different for triathlon. I can think of no better place to showcase our national championships than in the heart of Canada’s capital city.”

Triathlon Canada made the announcement in partnership with Mayor Jim Watson and the City of Ottawa, along with Ottawa Tourism, last week at Dow’s Lake Pavilion – the host venue of the premiere domestic triathlon race event for the next two years.

“Thanks to the City’s Bid More, Win More, Host More program, Ottawa residents can look forward to a growing number of highprofile sporting events over the next few years, now including the Canadian Triathlon Championships in both 2016 and 2017,” said Watson. “That strategy has been incredibly successful in positioning Ottawa as the ideal host city, enhancing our reputation on the world stage and boosting our local economy.”

Greg Kealey will lead an experienced group of professionals, as well as Bytown Storm Triathlon Club,

who will form the Ottawa Triathlon’s local organizing committee responsible for staging a total of 10 major races over the two-day sporting festival that promises to bring thousands of visitors to the area.

The races include the Canadian Standard Distance Triathlon Championships, Canadian Sprint Distance Triathlon Championships, Canadian Paratriathlon Championships, Ottawa CAMTRI (Confederation American Triathlon), Triathlon American Cup, Canadian Elite Championships (CAMTRI Continental Cup), Canadian Under-23 Championships (part of CAMTRI Continental Cup), Canadian Junior Championships and Triathlon Series Event (ages 16-19), Ottawa Youth Triathlon (ages 1315), Canadian, Mixed Relay Triathlon Championships, and Kid of Steel Triathlons (Under 5-Under 13).

Richard Price, who has more than five years of international experience working on the World Triathlon Series and at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, will lead the competition team.

Price and his team have developed a spectacular city-

based triathlon minutes from Ottawa’s core. Located just three kilometres from Parliament Hill, athletes will dive into Dow’s Lake for a single lap swim.

The bike courses will be flat and fast with a 20-kilometre out and back loop.

The run will take athletes

past many of Ottawa’s top sights and neighbourhoods while winding along the Rideau Canal and past Carleton University before making a turn to the finish stadium near Hog’s Back Falls.

Riding contest to be Olympic qualifier The volunteer organizers of the Brookstreet Ottawa Dressage Festival are busy at work preparing for the upcoming competition, scheduled for the May long weekend in the Nation’s Capital.

The festival will welcome riders from the Ottawa area, Toronto, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Central America at the CDI Show, which will take place at Wesley Clover Parks May 19 to 22.

The Ottawa competition will be one of only two in Eastern Canada that provide an opportunity for competitors seeking points to qualify for this year’s Olympic representatives in Rio. Organizers are following the current standings closely.

“At the end of the winter season it is a very close race,” said show president Paul Teeple.

“We are very proud to welcome riders and spectators to what will be an exciting show, featuring international judges from Great Britain, Germany and Canada. We are also very pleased to offer a venue for dressage riders of all levels, and to promote this wonderful sport.”

Organizers are also expecting many well known vendors of equestrian tack and equipment and equestrian services. The Brookstreet Hotel is again a title sponsor.

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

A weekly guide in legal matters

Question: Last month local newspapers reported the case of a McDonald’s employee in Kanata who was dismissed after receiving poor performance reviews.

The employee received more than $100,000.00 in court. Why? The short answer is that the judge in this case found that although the employee’s performance was not perfect the employer did not have “just cause” to terminate her employment contract.

If a business chooses to dismiss an employee the employer has to first decide if they have just cause to end the contract or not. Just cause exists when an employee has committed a serious breach of contract such as theft or continually missing work without reason. If the employer does not have just cause then in most cases they have to provide compensation which can equal up to a month of salary for every year of the employee’s service.

Many employers have staff who they believe are poor performers. Performance reviews are often done to encourage better performance but may About Allan Snelling

also be an attempt to build a case for a just cause dismissal. After several poor performance reviews an employer may choose to dismiss an employee for just cause. However, a decision to terminate an employee for just cause can be challenged in court where employers often find it difficult to prove that the alleged breach of contract was serious enough to warrant a just cause dismissal. Poor performance reviews may show that an employee was less than perfect but this alone is usually not enough to disentitle them to some compensation when they are dismissed. Because compensation is typically based on the number of years the employee has worked, the amount owing to dismissed employee can be significant which is what occurred in the case of the former McDonald’s employee.

Dunrobin association seeks feedback on special needs programs Group interested in offering additional sports, recreation classes Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Dunrobin Community Association is looking to expand its programming for people with special needs if there’s a demand for increased recreational activities.

The association currently organizes soccer, hockey and cooking programs for youth with special needs, which have all proved popular among families across the west end of Ottawa.

The group is seeking input from those living in West Carleton and the surrounding communities on what types of activities they’d like to see available at the Dunrobin Community Centre for children, youth and adults with special needs.

“What we decided we wanted to do was expand the special needs programming at Dunrobin. There’s a total need for programming for the special needs community and we figure we can offer it,” said Tracy Taffinder, director of special needs for the Dunrobin Community Association.

“The older these kids are getting the less and less programs are available. We thought it’s a good idea to put a call out to see what courses people want and we’ll make it happen.”

Ideas put forward include sports and recreational classes such as basketball, softball, karate, ball hockey, athletics (described as relay and obstacles), yoga and dance, as well as woodwork and crafting skills, singing and choir, needlecraft, and Lego club.

“If there’s somebody out there who would like to make a basketball team, we could facilitate that; we could open our doors,” said Taffinder. “What we are lacking are people to run the courses themselves.”

The association is open to other ideas, as well as locating volunteers who have skills they’d be interested in teaching.

“That’s all we’re trying to do, reach out to the families around. Also if anybody had ideas of a course that they wanted to see running that we haven’t thought of we’ll see if we can make it happen,” said Taffinder.

CURRENT PROGRAMS

Cooking classes are ongoing, with a new course beginning in

City strikes deal with more transit workers Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

New collective agreements for the city’s transit employees will ensure the construction of the new light-rail Confederation Line remains on track, says Mayor Jim Watson.

The city’s transit commission and staff secured new deals with union officials representing the city’s 165 OC Transpo employees working in safety, enforcement, maintenance and capital projects, as well as transit supervisors.

City council voted to ratify those contracts during its March 23 meeting.

“One of the most important initiatives is, as we all know that the City of Ottawa has taken since amalgamation in 2001, is the construction of the Confederation Line,” Watson said.

“This major project stands to transform the city for decades to come.

“These negotiated settlements cover more than 85 per cent of OC Transpo’s approximately 2,700 employees,” Watson said.

Solidifying the city’s relationship with its visit

us

transit employees and unions is “a critical step” in ensuring the success of the LRT line, he said.

The agreements will provide a “stable” foundation for the testing, commission, launch and operation of the line when it opens in 2018, as well as for 2017 celebrations in Ottawa marking Canada’s 150th birthday, Watson said.

The new contract spans a three-year term – from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2018 – and includes wage increases of 1.75 per cent in 2015 and 2016, and two per cent in 2017.

The new collective agreement is the latest in a series of deals reached over the past month, including a new contract with Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 279.

The agreement with Local 279 includes a two-per-cent pay increase for each of the first three years of the agreement and a 2.25 per cent boost in the last year of the contract.

“The new contract extends the current labour relations stability in OC Transpo to 2020, which will facilitate the implementation of the Confederation Line,” city staff said of the deal with Local 279 in an emailed statement. at

Playgroup moms to hold ‘Little Market’ in the Bay It all started at the Constance Bay Playgroup.

Moms and caregivers get the kids together once a week to play, while enjoying some adult conversation for themselves. Fast friends were made as they shared similar experiences, talked about hobbies and bonded over the early stages of their children’s development.

Many of the moms talked about and shared their side businesses; direct sales products or handmade based items. It was during one of these playgroup days that an idea was born.

Elissa Neveu, mother of three, brought up the fact that she would love to be involved in a craft/vendor show, as she had earlier in the year signed up to be a Scentsy consultant.

A mother of two, Amanda Gillespie, was also interested in diving into the craft show scene, as the popularity of Buskins Leggings, the company she is a representative for, was steadily growing.

New mom Tara Kroeger found

herself wanting to create her own customizable gifts, and so she started Plaid Acorn Designs. And Jenn McMillan, mother of two, who has been selling her handmade accessories for a few years, was eager to join in the conversation.

What if they organized their own show? Where would they hold it, and would they have enough interest to make it a success?

What started as a small endeavor among friends quickly grew as more people inquired about getting involved. The moms named their show ‘The Little Market’, but it has blossomed to more than that.

For the show in Constance Bay, they currently have 14 vendors, including themselves, registered (with more vendors than they can fit in their space inquiring about being included), featuring a wide range of products available to buy and order.

“We have reps from a variety of different direct sales companies, as well as women who create their own products involved. We’re blown away by the support that we’ve had

“With Mother’s Day coming, we thought it would be a great way for us to showcase our products and allow friends and family to shop without having to go to the city.”

“We would love it if we could continue hosting shows like this in the future, but we need the support

of the community to make our first show a success,” said Gillespie.

The women have been putting up posters locally, and in the surrounding towns, as well as utilizing social media to share details of the show.

The Little Market takes place this Sunday, April 10 from 11 a.m.

to 4 p.m. at the newly renovated Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre. Proceeds of the inaugural show are going back to the Constance Bay Playgroup.

St Paul’s United Church congregation members in Carp has issued a “big thank you” to all who attended and celebrated March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day) early with them on the Tuesday of that week.

The festivities were held in conjunction with the regular Soup’in dipity offering at the church. There was plenty of variety when it came to serving up soup and sandwiches, along with some special tunes on the piano from Margaret Gibson and Mary Roe. Thanks to all the contributors for the door prizes and a special thanks to all the workers behind the scene. “You are an awesome bunch.”

Plus thanks to Ann Griffith for her photo taking skills.

Hi-Liners share expertise with 4-H square dancers Line! Circles!, Angles! Square!

These geometric-sounding words apply to a special activity that took place on March 30, involving not mathematics but dancing with participants from several age groups at the Galetta Community Hall.

Members of the West Carleton 4-H Square Dance Club invited the Hy-Liners Line Dance group to join them at one of their meetings.

Hyacinth Chatterton, founder/ leader of the Hy-Liners, reports being delighted to receive the invitation through 4-H leader Melody Rochon. Other club leaders include Carolyn Styles, Sylvia Stanton and Barry Paul.

The president of this youth group of 34 participants, whose age-range is from 10 to 18 years, is Lauryn Rochon-Kaiser.

Line dancers who participated in this unique occasion to present a ‘demo-teach’ to this vibrant youth group were Edileide Cathcart, Carol Lacroix, Moe Lacroix and Linda Michaud. Chatterton noted the very warm reception

given the line dancers, along with positive feedback her group received from all who were in attendance.

At 6:30 p.m. the president opened with a welcome to everyone, which was followed by a call for the minutes of the previous meeting. Then all attendees introduced themselves and mentioned their anticipated plans for the long-awaited upcoming spring/ summer.

Some of the areas represented at this gathering were Almonte, Arnprior, Carleton Place, Carp, Constance Bay, Galetta, Kanata, Kinburn, Pakenham, Renfrew, Stittsville and White Lake.

After the opening remarks, it was time for action, and the line dancers joined with Chatterton in presenting demos that gave the young square dancers a welcome chance to try several line dances.

The following are some of the selections on the dance list (at the outset all dances were presented in lines and then some were repeated in circles): Ain’t That a Kick, All My Exes, Canadian

MELODY ROCHON/SUBMITTED

The West Carleton 4-H Square Dance Club members practice line dancing moves taught them by their visitors from the Hy-Liners Line Dancers. The visit was judged a “huge success” by the square dancers, who noted that the ability of Hyacinth Chatterton and her group “to teach all ages and levels is amazing.” dances during their visit was fulfilled. They thoroughly enjoyed watching the youth group as they performed several of their dances towards the end of the evening.

After the meeting adjourned, it was time for snacks, and during the accompanying chit-chat time, a unanimous decision was made - both dance groups will keep in touch with each other.

This will be achieved by having

Stroll, Cupid Shuffle, Feeling it Hey, Lindi Shuffle and Rita’s Waltz. The tunes used included some of the golden-oldies such as Shang-A-Lang and Rock-&-RollWaltz and, much to the pleasant surprise of the youth, they also line danced to more modern renditions from the Black-Eyed Peas and Meghan Trainor.

The Hy-Liners’ request to have a chance to see some square

some square dance leaders register for one of the spring series of line dancing available in this area (e.g. in Almonte, Arnprior, Carp), while others plan to attend as drop-in’s when their schedules allow.

In addition, the youth group and their leaders have extended an open invitation for The HyLiners to visit them again sometime soon.

West Carleton 4-H members master square dancing Lindsay Bates

West Carleton 4-H Square Dance Club

The West Carleton 4-H Square Dance club, now in its third year, continues to “learn to do, by doing.”

Through knowledgeable 4-H leaders, music, laughter (and some stepped-on toes),

the club’s members ages 8 to 18 learn to navigate several square dance sets.

This year’s group has more than 20 members, who come to the Galetta Hall to practice.

The club’s culmination is an achievement night to showcase what they have

learned. This year Achievement Night will be held at the Almonte Civitan Club on Friday, April 15.

For more information on West Carleton 4-H and its clubs and events, please visit/like their Facebook page and message them with any questions.

Dr. Julianna Tomlinson Senior Research Associate, Neuroscience Program, The Ottawa Hospital

Great Canadian Theatre announces playbill for 42nd season Ottawa’s Great Canadian Theatre Company has unveiled a line-up for its 2016-17 season that showcases six original Canadian plays and acts.

The program announced on March 23 by the company’s artistic director Eric Coates promises provocative stories that meet audiences head-on, examining the complexity of human relationships, looking closely at the lives of some of Canada’s most compelling political leaders, and even carving out space for bold adults-only entertainment.

“This playbill is the result of great collaboration both within GCTC and with our partners

across the country,” Coates said in a press release. “We started to see a wave of younger people coming to GCTC this season and we are eager to build on that success with our programming.”

The season, the company’s 42nd, will open in September 2016 with the first preview of The Gravitational Pull Of Bernice Trimble

by Beth Graham on Sept. 20. That play, which depicts a daughter troubled by the weight of bearing her mother’s secret, will run until Oct. 9. Showings of The Last Wife

by Kate Hennig from Nov. 3 to 20 will deliver a contemporary retelling of the 16th century relationship between Katherine Parr and King Henry VIII in a witty examination of patriarchy and women’s rights.

From Dec. 1 to 18, The Daisy Theatre, by Ronnie Burkett, will entertain adults with its improvised marionette cabaret, and from Jan. 12 to 29, Trudeau Stories by Brooke Johnson will take audiences back to 1985 to learn about an unlikely friendship that developed between a young Canadian theatre

student and former prime minister Pierre Trudeau.

The season’s penultimate play, Les Passants by Luc Moquin, will illustrate every-day situations that develop into strange scenarios in a series of bilingual vignettes, from Feb. 23 to March 12, 2017, and Michael Healy’s 1979 will wrap up the

season from April 13 to 30, 2017, with its fast-paced satirical depiction of a day in the life of former prime minister Joe Clark after his government’s defeat in a non-confidence motion.

The audience will be able to take a ‘Sentimental Journey’ as they sing along with this favourite tune and listen to new melodies that will remind all of new beginnings.

Under the direction of Robert Dueck, the harmonious voices of the chorus are bound to please the most discerning ear. Tender songs will give way to celebratory and rousing to inspirational.

Peter Brown, well known throughout the Ottawa Valley for his jazz, will accompany the voices and treat the audience to several renditions guaranteed to please.

Goulbourn Male Chorus prepares for spring concert The Goulbourn Male Chorus – one of the few allmale voice choirs in the area – is busy preparing for its annual spring concert.

The chorus, which draws members from all over the Ottawa Valley, including Carleton Place, Calabogie, Almonte and Constance Bay as well as Stittsville, Kanata and Ottawa West, rehearses weekly at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Kanata.

“It’s a great evening to-

gether for the men,” says Ian Glen, president of the chorus for this year.

“The music can be challenging at times, but our music director Byron Hermann has a terrific attitude and brings lots of fun to the evening – even when we may be struggling with the music.

Sometimes that post-rehearsal libation at the Cheshire Cat is well deserved.”

The chorus has earned a reputation over the last five

years or so for a repertoire that includes a wide variety of music, from spiritual to classical to folk to contemporary, combined with humour.

The spring concert, to be performed at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 1 at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road, will reflect this variety and approach.

With a title ‘From the Sublime to the Ridiculous’, the audience can expect any-

thing. Pieces being rehearsed are by writers such as Billy Joel, PDQ Bach, Lennon and McCartney and Andrew Lloyd Webber as well as folk and spiritual numbers.

An entertaining afternoon

is guaranteed by the chorus, and, as always, the proceeds will go back into the community through donations.

The chorus can also be seen at ‘sing-outs’ at seniors’ homes and other events in

the area. Tickets for the concerts can be bought at Giai Java, Brown’s Independent and on the chorus website www.goulbournmalechorus. com, which also contains a calendar of its performances.

Kitty proved herself to be a real good ‘mouser’ Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

No one knew how they got into the house, but it wasn’t unusual, while we sat around the kitchen table at night, to see a tiny mouse scurry across the floor, or run tight against the baseboards. And Mother, who could sense a mouse a mile away, would fly into a state of hysteria, demand Father get the broom, order the brothers onto the chase, and chaos rained until the mouse was either caught, or found a means of escape.

Silently, I rooted for the mouse.

Now, Mother would not allow any dogs or cats in the house. “They belong in the barn,” she’d say when I would beg to bring in one of my pets, which included a hoard of cats, one I especially like and simply called Kitty, or our old Collie

dog, which, like just about every other dog in Northcote, was called Sport.

Father, a third generation on our farm, told stories of the pets he had as a young boy, and how the dogs and cats were just as comfortable in the house as they were in the barns. But Mother wouldn’t budge. They belonged in the barn, and that’s all there was to it.

Spring was breaking early that year, and for some unexplained reason, we were seeing more mice than usual, both in the summer kitchen, and in the house. Mother was on constant alert, and since she hated mousetraps as much as she hated the mice, catching the little critters seemed to be the only solution.

That is, until that night at supper, Father, who my sister Audrey said later, brought up the subject on purpose, said how he saw Kitty snare mouse after mouse in the barn.

“She’s a real mouser, that one is,” he said, without taking a pause between mouths full of supper. “Never saw anything like it, and I’ve

lived on this here farm forever ... but that Kitty sure can catch a mouse if one happens to cross her path. She is sure cutting down on the mouse population.”

Mother, with a fork half way to her mouth, asked Father if he was sure it was Kitty. He said he caught her in the act at least a dozen times.

It was probably more coincidence than anything else, but that night, at least three mice interrupted our card game at the kitchen table. By the time, they were chased out into the woodshed, or knocked senseless with the broom, it was bedtime. The whole evening had been wasted battling the mice.

The very next morning, just before we headed for school, Mother said she thought it was time Kitty was brought into the house, where she’d be trained to sleep in a box beside the stove, eat in her own dish (heaven forbid that a cat would eat out of a bowl we used at the kitchen table), and if she was caught within a mile of one of our beds, she would be banished back out to the barn.

My sister Audrey said she was sure Kitty could read Mother’s mind. “Cats are pretty smart, you know,” she said, and who was as thrilled as I was that, finally, I could have one of my pets in the house.

No one knew what Kitty did with the mice she caught. Like a night burglar, most of her action was when we were in bed, but ever after, our house was free of mice.

And Mother, on occasion could be seen dropping a piece of salt pork, or a spoonful of gravy into Kitty’s dish in gratitude. Finally, the mouse problem was under control.

Sadly, nothing was discovered that could rid the house of the common housefly, which remained the bane of Mother’s existence all the time we lived on the farm in Renfrew County.

PERFECT

Mother said if she lived to be 100, she’d never get used to the common housefly or the mice, both of which were in ample supply on our farm in Renfrew County.

The flies, fortunately, were only around in warm weather, but the mice had no respect for the seasons, and it didn’t seem to matter if the snow was knee deep, or we were gasping for air on a hot summer day, the mice had minds of their own.

In the cold weather, our summer kitchen kept our food chilled or frozen. An old table sat in the middle of the floor, and Mother was always frightened a wayward mouse would climb up a table leg, and help itself to whatever was there.

Her solution was to have Father fill four tobacco tins with coal oil and put one under each leg of the table. Any mouse daring to reach the top of the table had a fatal bath in the coal oil, and the food was safe.

Of course, this only worked in the summer kitchen. Inside the house was another matter.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, April 7, 2016 57

Club guest to inspire attendees to revive their tired gardens

SUBMITTED

Gardening expert Mary Reid will be the guest speaker at the next West Carleton Garden Club meeting Tuesday, April 12, 7:30 p.m. at the Carp Memorial Hall.

Does your garden need a makeover?

Winter’s snowy blanket is becoming a faded memory.

Gardeners can feel spring in the air and many are itching to get out in the yard. But is your yard less than inspiring?

Maybe your garden looks tired or neglected. Or perhaps your landscape is overcrowded with tangled vines, overgrown bushes and plants. Not sure where to start?

Mary Reid can help.

The master gardener and garden centre owner has been counselling homeowners on how to revive a tired garden for years and has presented a talk on just that subject many times.

Now she’s bringing her presentation to the next monthly meeting of the West Carleton Garden Club on Tuesday, April 12.

“If your garden no longer ‘does it for you’ - be it overgrown, lack of colour, messy, etc. — that makes it past its prime,” says the longtime owner of Green Thumb Garden Centre in Nepean.

“We’ll look at whether this is a major project or a minor one. It’s really what your expectations are and also what your needs are.”

Assessing and then planning are key, she says.

“Assessing really takes into consideration what you are prepared to do. If your old rundown shed is an eyesore, but it’s too much to deal with, then your tired garden needs to make the shed part of the ‘new look’, even if it just becomes something to camouflage.”

With the help of lots of visuals, Reid will inspire you with new ideas and guide you - whether you’re a novice or expert gardener - through a step-by-step approach to making your garden more pleasing and manageable, in whatever way that works for you.

Her talk will be held at the Memorial Hall in Carp, 3739 Carp Rd. (at Donald B. Munro Drive), starting at 7:30 p.m.

There is a nominal fee of $5 for non-members.

Chest Nuts to host tea, fashion show Staff

One of Arnprior’s top social occasions of the year will be held this Saturday, April 9 when the Prior Chest Nuts Dragonboat team holds its annual Spring Tea. The gathering, which features a fashion show this year, runs from 1:303:30 p.m. at the St. John Chrysostom Parish hall on Albert Street. There will be tea, sandwiches, “decadent desserts,” a cocktail bar run by the Knights of Columbus, silent auction and door prizes.

The fashion show organized by the A Dash Of Fab stores is expected to begin about 2:30 p.m. Organizers anticipate it will help attract more younger women to the tea.

The spring tea is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the dragonboat team made up of breast cancer survivors.

Spokeswoman Susan

Reynolds says the group is planning a busy year.

As well as participating in the Arnprior Dragonboat Festival July 23, the team will be going to competitions in Carleton Place and Brighton among others.

A possible long-term goal is to go to an international gathering in Florence, Italy in 2018.

Thanks to the generosity of the White Lake Marina, the Chest Nuts’ dragonboat will be moored there rent-free again, giving the team ample opportunity to practice.

Reynolds notes the group is looking for new members who have overcome cancer. Dragonboating has proven to be healthy and therapeutic and not too taxing for the survivors, she added.

Tickets for the tea cost $20. For tickets or more information, call Jeanette at 613-622-0190 or Susan at 613-623-5822.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, think of ways to increase your income this week. Explore all of your options, even if they mean going out of your comfort zone.
