Cheshire Cat uses social media to out toboggan thieves Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Cheshire Cat Pub is using social media to track down a stolen Steamwhistle toboggan.

A post on the Cheshire Cat Pub Regulars Facebook page accused two men of stealing the toboggan from the restaurant’s front entrance on March 28

after eating dinner. A similar message was posted on Twitter.

“It’s kind of a tricky situation,” said co-owner Crystal Therrien. “You don’t want to out anyone on social media … but we wanted to spin this off into something a little funny, and for Tysen’s Mission to a Million.”

CHESHIRE CAT PUB/FACEBOOK

The owners of the Cheshire Cat in Carp are calling for the return of their toboggan, as well as a donation to Tysen’s Mission.

visit us at

Aside from asking for the return of the toboggan, the Therriens have also asked for a $100 donation to Tysen’s Mission to a Million, a fundraiser launched by Tysen Lefevbre for the Make-A-Wish foundation of Eastern Ontario to help grant wishes for area children with life-threatening medical conditions.

“We thought let’s get it out there – these people have a chance to redeem themselves,” said Crystal.

“We’ve known Tysen for a few years now. He’s just an extraordinary kid with a really good mission to raise $1-million for the Make-A-Wish foundation. I think he’s just a really positive role model and really good influence for this whole community.”

Crystal, who co-owns the restaurant with husband Dustin, said no one recognized the two men, which is why they decided to post the message on social media. She added they don’t have plans to file a police report.

“It’s not about getting two guys in trouble for something which is seemingly petty,” she said. “It’s a crime, but I don’t see the point in taking it to the police and have the guys risk a criminal record.”

The toboggan was part of a fourmonth promotion for Steamwhistle

You have until Friday to return the toboggan with a donation of $100 for Tysen’s Wish - By the way, your beard needs a trim buddy. You can leave it in the shed out front and mail the cheque to Tysen’s Wish.”

Bantam girls finish with 7-0 record The Huntley team wenth ead-tohead with teams from across Canada, the United States and Japan.

“There were four games we played where Kayla didn’t have to throw her last rock,” said their West Carleton coach Jill Rivington. “The closest game we had was against (the) Quebec (team) and we went into an extra end.

To be 7-0 is pretty good.”

This is the team’s second year playing together.

Last year, they won the Ontario Curling Association provincial championships, giving them entry into the Ontario Winter Games. The girls were aiming for a first-place finish in order to compete at the Canada Winter Games, but their second-place win gave them the berth to compete internationally in Edmonton.

“This year we worked even harder to get even better,” said Richardson,

16. “It really paid off when we got to Edmonton. We won our first game … and kept it going throughout the tournament. It was a great experience.”

The girls hail from various communities – Richardson from Ottawa east, Daviau and Dubue from Barrhaven, and MacMillan all from Belleville – and train vigorously at the Huntley Curling Club and their local rinks.

“This is a lot of practice, a lot of everything put together,” said Rivington. “Every time that we’ve had a little learning lesson along the way, we’ve identified where our weaknesses were and how we were going to get better.

“It’s taken hours. These kids, we have two practices a week as a team practice. Individually they practice a couple times a week,” she added.

And when the team is heading into a competition, they can often be

found on the ice six to seven days a week.

It helps that they’ve all meshed together really well, said Richardson.

“I love how we’re all really good friends; they’re three of the best friends I’ve ever had. When we’re together it’s always a fun time,” she said. “We’re all so dedicated and driven.”

Now that the season is finished, the team will be readying throughout the spring and summer months to move up to the junior level.

“We’re going to revisit our goals and make sure they’re the same, work in the off-season so we’ll be able to achieve them,” Richardson said.

Spartan Gardens to close greenhouses following fire Derek Dunn

A popular place to buy plants in West Carleton will shut down its nursery following a fire on April 7.

A greenhouse at Spartan

“When I came up it was Gardens, 3627 Upper Dwyer Hill Rd., caught fire at about 8 definitely engrossed in flames,� p.m. There were no injuries, but said Sparrows, who has worked between $30,000 and $50,000 at the family business since he was in high school in the early worth of damage.

insurance, the fire department isn’t investigating the cause.

Sparrows originally assumed the fire started with one of the furnaces. But the next day showed they were hardly touched by flames. The pump building, on the other hand, was razed.

The fire was under control within the hour.

Insurance companies won’t protect the plastic covering on greenhouses. And the rest of the equipment, while it seemed during the night of the fire to cost about $25,000, the next day worked out to as much as double that amount.

Sparrows won’t rebuild, saying the nursery part of his business has been dwindling

for years now that box stores are into selling plants. It only represents about 15 per cent of his business. The rest is property maintenance and landscape construction.

He has enough to get him through this year; and a few customers will get a call saying their plants are gone; but he’s taking it all in stride. “Nobody’s hurt and that’s the big thing. Nobody’s going to be out of a job,� Sparrows said. “The margins (of profit) are very small in that business.

I keep saying we should stop doing it. But when you’ve done something for so many years: maybe this is the kick in the pants I needed.�

A possible reason why he

didn’t stress too much over the fire, along with growing a little older and having a young family, is a prior experience with fire as a youngster. A neighbour’s home went up in flames and his caught fire and sustained some damage. “When you see someone’s house with everything they own in it; and yours is right there: that was terrifying.�

Sparrows’ father and cousin started the business in 1993. He helped out as a student. Then, in 2002, he took over the entire operation, bringing in the other two portions of the business.

He likes to stay business, also farming 500 acres every year with his dad.

Carp teen combats illiteracy overseas Donate books, hear from local authors, learn about the cause at April 22 event Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A Carp teen is combatting illiteracy overseas.

Addy Strickland is hosting a community event on Wednesday, April 22 to collect books and funds that will be sent to communities in Africa.

“I’m really passionate about education and literacy,” said the 15-year-old.

“The way I see it, education is the route to solve the world’s issues. Without education people are more likely to fall into poverty and not know what their rights are. Being able to provide the resources to help people learn to read … we can help pull people out of poverty and that helps solve a lot of issues.”

Addy organized and planned the April 22 event, to be held at the Carp Agricultural Hall from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. It will feature local authors speaking on their experiences, as well as student musicians from West Carleton Secondary and Huntley Centennial schools.

“It’s going to be really fun,” said the Grade 10 West Carleton student, adding her classmates and other schools have rallied to help. “I have a lot of support behind me.”

Her original goal was to collect 1,000 books, but she’s already surpassed the 2,000-book mark.

“I just hope that it keeps being as successful as it’s been so far,” said Addy. “To see people step up in the community and take part has been really great.”

SUBMITTED

Addy Strickland, 15, is hosting a community event to collect books and funds, while also raising awareness of illiteracy overseas.

ADDY STRICKLAND According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, about 17 per cent of the world’s adult population is illiterate – about 775 million adults. Globally, 122 million youth are illiterate.

“I just think a lot of people don’t understand the spread of the issue of literacy,” said Addy.

“Here in Canada we’re really fortunate … Trying to imagine a world without reading is really hard for us.”

Admission to the event is one book – although more are always welcome – or a monetary contribution to help pay the shipping cost.

A number of businesses have pledged sponsorship and more are welcome, said Addy.

For more information, email Addy at addy. strickland@gmail.com, call 613-852-6583, or find the event on Facebook at http://on.fb. me/1Dpbsdd.

Let sentries stand proud

O

n a day when Canada remembered its proudest military moment, which took place on April 9, 1917 at Vimy Ridge, the country once again showed how petty politics and over-bearing bureaucracy continues to reduce the legacy of our Armed Forces to a shadow of its former self.

Why it makes more sense to post Ottawa police officers at the National War Memorial to protect the National Sentries standing guard over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier – at a cost of $425,000 this year – than it does to simply hand loaded weapons to these trained military men and women is baffling.

According to the Department of National Defence, it doesn’t have jurisdiction over the site.

Well, perhaps rather than dishing out close to half a million dollars a year to protect the protectors, why not change the jurisdiction? Surely both the federal government and City of Ottawa could come up with a reasonable solution along those lines, in light of the shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo last October.

Some might worry about the presence of armed

members of the military in the capital, but what makes a soldier less trustworthy with weapons than police? Do soldiers, if provided appropriate training, pose some threat to our democracy? We don’t live under a military junta and it’s highly unlikely we ever will. Providing a couple of soldiers performing a ceremonial duty the means to protect themselves will hardly sow the seeds of a Dr. Strangelove-esque catastrophe.

Canada’s service men and women have been bearing the brunt of our political inadequacies for some time now. All one needs to do is to look at the way our veterans are treated or at the once-againdeplorable state of the Forces themselves following Canada’s withdrawal from Afghanistan to see the rot.

The last thing Canada needs to do, especially in plain view of a monument to the legacy and bravery of its soldiers, is hire guardians to protect the guardians. Just give the brave men and women at the National War Memorial the means to protect themselves and let them stand proud.

he Ontario government, according to a recent news item, “is speeding up the process for closing schools, as part of a crackdown on publicly funded boards with too many classrooms sitting empty.�

Reflecting that, the government indicates that only two public meetings, instead of four, need to be held before a school closes, and the review need only take five months instead of seven.

Some people will see that as good news. The notion of lazy or stubborn boards wasting taxpayers’ dollars by keeping useless schools open is repugnant to those who make saving the taxpayers’ dollar the top priority.

But there are other priorities that deserve at least a thought before we

race ahead to streamline the process of getting rid of so-called “underutilized� schools.

Caution is one of them. For some reason demographics does not seem to be the strong suit of school boards or provincial governments. Shifts in population, up or down, are not foreseen. One school is built in panic, another is closed in panic. People move from the inner city to the suburbs and people move back from the suburbs to the inner city. None of this seems

Another priority is consultation.

Those neighbourhood groups and parent groups that insist on having their say may seem like annoying hindrances to efficient decision-making, but they have rights, not to mention children. Further, they have local knowledge that the authorities should treasure rather than resent.

A third priority is neighbourhood.

The school is the centre of the neighbourhood. Take away a school and you hurt the neighbourhood.

A Globe and Mail article on the issue has a nice quote from Monika Turner, director of policy at the Association of Municipalities of

Ontario. “A school is the hub of a community,� she said. “When you close a school, that community has lost a draw for anybody to ever come back.�

It may be only a coincidence, but the authorities in the Globe quoted in favour of speeding up the closing process were school board people.

The people opposed represented municipal interests. They would be more inclined to recognize the neighbourhood consequences. A so-called under-utilized school is not empty. It could just under two-thirds full. Those who want to shut it down say the money could better be spent on programs. But there is more to a school than programs. A school can have great programs, but if it is overcrowded, the educational benefits will be diluted.

At one point, the Ontario government seemed to recognize this. There was a determined effort made to EDITORIAL: Managing Editor: 4HERESA &RITZ

No wonder Hydro One customers are cynical Amalgamation incomplete without hydro To the Editor: We were away on holiday from Feb. 3 to March 4.

When I received our Hydro bill in March, the electricity usage was approximately 300KWH higher than we used in January 2015.

I requested Hydro One to explain the discrepancy as I had shut off the hot water, lowered the thermostat (oil furnace), etc. I was astounded to receive a reply which stated that “I was billed for actual consumption and in the future we recommend that you turn off the main breaker completely to avoid consumption charges.�

If such action were taken, the damages incurred would be uninsurable. In addition, furnace fuel freezes at -15C. Obviously, a brain dead recommendation.

They also suggested that “I review my consumption usage online to better understand my consumption charges.� This I had done before writing them and noticed the consumption during the time frame when I was away and the previous time

frame were relatively the same.

How could this be possible with no one living here?

With a further enquiry to explain the discrepancy, I questioned the accuracy of my smart meter. In addition, I asked if any independent authority tests the accuracy of the “smart� meters or the “delivery line loss� they claim occurs.

Re. the accuracy of smart meters, the reply was, “it is extremely unlikely that your meter is not accurately recording your consumption. We are confident that our meters are both accurate and dependable. The solid state electricity meter that the electricity industry has been using for a decade has been without issue.�

Strange. According to the Ontario Ombudsman report, as of April 2015, he has received 10,500 complaints about Hydro One on many issues including smart meters.

Re. the independent authority testing, the reply was no. They are “tested by the manufacturers and sample tested by Hydro

One.�

In my opinion, there is a conflict-of-interest in this matter.

They did not reply to the question of “delivery line loss� (delivery charges). This begs a few questions.

How is the figure they use calculated? Is what I am charged the amount of line loss from the point of generation to my house? Does everyone along the line pay the same amount as I do? If so, that is quite a windfall for Hydro One. As Hydro One produces excess electricity and sells it to neighbouring provinces and States (at a lower cost than to us), are they charged for delivery line loss, line maintenance, HST, etc., or are we charged for that in our delivery charges?

As there is no accountability or transparency with Ontario Hydro and as our politicians seem to have no desire or ability to hold this provincial monopoly accountable, total cynicism reigns.

To the Editor: Mr. El-Chantiry, in an April 9 West Carleton Review article, is quoted as cautioning against expense to residents of transferring responsibility for rural Ottawa customers from Hydro One to Ottawa Hydro.

He is correct to say we have already paid for this transfer: it

is left over business from the amalgamation of Ottawa.

In that amalgamation there were puts and takes for all parties, but one of the benefits that should have come to rural residents, the reduction of electricity costs due to being part of a larger municipality, has still not been realized.

Amalgamation is long since a done deal, but let’s not forget that until Ottawa Hydro takes responsibility for the 42,000 rural customers who are part of Ottawa, the job of Mr. ElChantiry and the Ottawa council is incomplete.

Province, Hydro One both to blame To the Editor: Your April 9 edition of the West Carleton Review contained a number of articles and letters to the editor regarding our sad state of affairs with regard to Hydro in Ontario.

Hydro in the last century has become one of our essential services, and as the ice storm of 1998 demonstrated, our lives revolve around electricity to power everything in our homes and even the gas stations that fuel our vehicles.

However, in Ontario the distribution, sale and production of hydro is treated as a political spectator sport with boondoggles, lies, smart meter errors, overpaid employees and corruption being the order of the day.

Even the Auditor-General has taken this government to task regarding hydro, but the Minister, Bob Chiarelli, tries to shame the AG by stating that it is a complicated file and she doesn’t have the knowledge required to ascertain the problems at hydro, let alone recommendations on how to fix them, a

fact that was quickly debunked when we found out that the AG used to work for Manitoba Hydro.

I feel it is the minister that is “out of his league” on this file.

And now the same minister and government want to implement a low-income plan to help pay for the most expensive electricity in North America by further increasing the cost of electricity to the millions who will not qualify for this subsidy since the bar has been set so low as to be mostly ineffective and unavailable to most customers of hydro. This certainly appears to be nothing else but a PR exercise by the government.

There is no good reason why we should have installed so many wind turbines or solar farms, both of which need an alternative back-up source of electrical power, since both wind and sun are unreliable sources of continuous energy available on demand.

The fact that there is no available mechanism to store surplus electrical power produced by

wind or solar, Hydro One sells it on the open market at a substantial loss. Unfortunately, the current government has tied their hands for quite a few more years with multi-billion dollar contracts to foreign companies to supply either the turbines or the solar panels.

In my estimation, the only solution to the mess created by this government is to buy power from reliable and affordable sources of electricity producing jurisdictions, such as Quebec Hydro or Manitoba Hydro.

Hydro One cannot be trusted to produce the required amount of affordable power required and this government, regretably, has created most of the current (no pun intended) mess it finds itself in on the hydro file.

The lessons of our heart are written on the wall gardening implements, flowers, wine, books … they know me so well.

Suddenly Milena announced we all had to gather in the living room to watch a short movie.

She and Paulina had taken turns filming each other as they created the mural on the wall.

The six-minute video shows them planning out the design, and hand-scripting it in blue-gray paint directly over the mustard yellow wall. The artwork sessions are interspersed with hilarious dance breaks.

Milena set the video to a beautiful song, and I think that’s what really got me. That and the card that preceded the video, which hinted, “the life lessons I’ve taken from you are now permanently marked on your wall.”

I reached for the Kleenex and used about half the box before we even got to the unveiling.

Finally, we gathered around the sunroom and Milena and Paulina each took a side of paper curtain and ripped it down to reveal my new mural.

This is what it says, in my daughters’ unmistakable handwriting: “Our family is not about blood; it’s about acceptance. Doing that thing that puts a smile on their face. Our family sings, dances & hugs. We care for and carry each other; our family loves in its own crazy, beautiful way and when we’re with family, we’re truly happy. No matter how you look – no matter what your regrets – no matter who you are – you belong here. This is where love lives. This is our family home. And there’s always room for more at the table.”

The words are particularly meaningful because we have been through some major things together, blending these two families, forgiving each other our faults, letting things ride, and accepting other non-blood honorary family members into the fold, every Sunday, at dinner.

I told the Farmer he can’t move me into an expensive condo now. Not unless I can take my wall with me.

My birthday was Wednesday.

I was treated to lunch, taken out to dinner and joined by my middle daughter Anastasia and her husband, showered with gifts – roses, a beautiful red sundress and a new charm for my bracelet.

The charm bracelet is a wonderful thing because it isn’t that I can remember exactly when each bead, bauble and sparkly charm arrived, but I know it was given with thoughtfulness and love by my girl. We give gifts to each other every birthday, Christmas, Mother’s Day … but who can remember what they receive from year to year?

With the charm bracelet, I just have to look at my wrist.

The birthday came and went, and despite a few funny messages on Facebook and a lovely song from Paulina, nothing from my other two daughters. Oh well, they are busy with their own lives and I figured they were waiting until Sunday dinner and our family gathering to celebrate their mama.

So when I came home Thursday after work, I wasn’t expecting to find a car parked on the lawn.

I didn’t recognize it right away as Milena’s, (my eldest), but when I opened the door to the house and saw the boots, I knew she had driven out from Ottawa to see me.

But I couldn’t see her. There was a floral tablecloth pinned up across the door to the sunroom and loud music blasting out from behind it.

“Girls, I’m home!” I hollered. A string of light profanity and then two faces peeked out from behind the cloth. “Stay right there, ma. No peeking.”

Then Milena suddenly came out, looking sneaky.

“You have to promise not to go in there. And we’re going to have to cover it to keep the cats out.”

Cover it? A clue. Well, not to worry. Everyone Email: dianafisher1@gmail.com. knows I love a surprise and the only way this one www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com. is getting ruined is if I absentmindedly wander into the room and totally forget that I’m not supposed to be in there, poking around.

The cloth stayed over the door for ARNPRIOR'S HISTORIC THEATRE the next three days, as the girls came and went between work shifts and sleep. Paulina even gave up some of Friday april 17, to thursday, april 23, 2015 her valuable snooze hours for me.

The clean-up campaign will run from 9 a.m. to noon with participants asked to meet at the community centre where garbage bags and supplies will

be available.

Of course, just as with many other chronic conditions, the moment one organ is chronically challenged or damaged, it will have an effect on other organs as well. This is how the vicious cycle often starts.

To date, more than $7,000 has been awarded to local students pursuing their studies.

The 2015 bursary will be awarded to a local student who attends a high school in West Carleton, Almonte, Carleton Place or Perth.

To be eligible, a student must be graduating from high school and be undertaking post-secondary studies in an aspect of nature or an environmental field.

As well as academic achievement, the bursary selection committee will consider an applicant’s involvement in issues relating to the natural environment.

Previous recipients had actively promoted environmental awareness through school projects and volunteering.

Interest in protecting our environment has led Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary

award winners to pursue degrees in marine biology and zoology. Other award winners followed their passion in environmental stewardship by studying fish and wildlife technology or biotechnology.

“I am pleased that this award may encourage a young person today to become an environmental leader tomorrow” says Bennett.

“I consider it an investment in our environmental future.”

Application forms are available from student services departments in area high schools, or from the MVFN website at mvfn.ca.

The deadline for applications is Friday, May 1.

For further details or questions, students may contact Mike Macpherson of the Nature Bursary Committee at 613-256-3043 or send an email to naturebursary@ gmail.com.

With the heavy rainfall late last week, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) is advising area residents that a watershed conditions statement regarding water safety is in effect.

Local residents should keep a close watch on conditions, regularly check updated messages and stay away from fast-moving rivers and streams, says the MNRF. Residents who have a historic susceptibility to flooding should take appropriate precautions to protect their property, such as ensuring sump pumps are functioning and securing items that may float away as water levels rise, the bulletin advises.

Although some of the snowpack has melted over the past few weeks, a significant amount of snow is still present. The water content in the snow varies across the district from below average to about average.

Seasonal mild temperatures combined with the forecasted rainfall will continue to melt snow and increase water levels and flow velocities in local rivers and streams. Smaller streams and creeks will respond quickly to the additional run-off, but larger water bodies, including the reservoir lakes, will take longer to react.

Additional water accumulation in areas adjacent to watercourses, road ditches and areas with poor drainage may occur.

With the combination of more rain and remaining ice cover on local lakes and rivers, there is the potential for ice jams to form and contribute to elevated water levels and flooding in some instances.

MNRF is closely monitoring the weather and developing watershed conditions and promises further updates as appropriate. Environment Canada bulletins can be found at http:// weather.gc.ca and the Surface Water Monitoring Centre public webpage is http://www.ontario.ca/flooding.

The sleepers have awoken With the warmth of spring finally (albeit, reluctantly) here, there has been a surge in animal activity.

Flocks of Canada Geese are now noisily winging their way overhead, and a cacophony of Red-winged Blackbirds now greets the dawn. And in woodlands everywhere, Eastern Chipmunks can be seen scampering, their little tails raised like flags as they bounce across the ground.

Until recently, the last time we saw chipmunks was last fall. By mid-November most of these tiny squirrels vanish into underground dens, most equipped with numerous spacious chambers.

Some of these are storehouses filled

Eastern Chipmunks are now fully active after intermittently sleeping away winter in their underground chambers.

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way with acorns and other foods harvested in summer and fall. Others include a lavatory and a room for garbage disposal.

One might think that chipmunks would hardly need a lavatory if they hibernate. Groundhogs hibernate and for most of the winter they do not defecate. Even Black Bears, which do not hibernate but enter a deep sleep from which they are easily awoken, don’t foul their dens with body wastes.

But chipmunks behave differently.

During winter they sleep for up to a week at a time, then awaken for a few hours to grab a snack from their pantry, get rid of body wastes in their lavatory, and return to their bedroom

to curl up into a ball and fall back to sleep.

During their deep sleep – which is known as torpor – their body temperature drops from about 100 degrees Fahrenheit to 42 degrees Fahrenheit, and their heart rate falls from the normal rate of 350 beats per minute to about 15 beats per minute. True hibernators have barely discernible heartbeats and a body temperature only a handful of degrees above freezing.

Currently during the day chipmunks are busy aboveground looking for fresh food, but they will slip back into their hidden dens and enter a deep sleep if the weather turns cold.

Another local mammal has also emerged from its winter den, but this one, unlike chipmunks, slept away much of the winter in a den above the ground, not below it. That animal is the Raccoon.

Raccoons are also not true hibernators and their body temperature and heart rate do not change much when they go dormant. Their sleep is known as lethargy, and on warm winter days, they sometimes leave their dens and go wandering in search of fresh food.

Unlike chipmunks, Raccoons depend on hefty stores of fat, not stored food to get them through the winter, and those individuals that have in-

photos by MICHAEL RUNTZ

The author recently encountered this young Raccoon peering out of its den in an old American Beech tree. sufficient stores are generally the ones that go wandering during warm spells.

Raccoons often spend winter in family groups, huddling together to share body warmth. With some snow still covering the ground in the woods, it is possible to find Raccoon dens by following their trail. Creatures of habit, Raccoons often walk the same path when emerging at dusk and re-

turning near sunrise.

With spring seeming to have decided to stay, Raccoons and Eastern Chipmunks are active and will remain so through summer.

Be sure to enjoy them now, however. After all, November is really not that far away!

Carp company takes over valley farm supply institution Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

A Carp firm is talking over a long-time Renfrew farm supply business.

John A. Burnett Ltd., an area institution, is changing ownership after more than 50 years.

Reis Equipment of Carp took over at the Renfrew O’Brien Road location April 1.

This makes it a fourth dealership for them.

The other three dealerships for Jeff and Julie Reis and Hugh Hodgins of Reis Equipment are in Carp, Winchester and St.Isidore.

It ends a long and impressive career in the farm equipment business for John Burnett. He grew up on a farm and a day after finishing school in 1951, began working for International Harvester.

Burnett was in Belleville for a couple of years before being

transferred to Renfrew.

“I was here a year, or so, and when they went to transfer me somewhere else, they (McArthur Farm Supply) made me an offer and I stayed.”

The epicentre of the business was in a summer kitchen and one-car garage at 224 Argyle St., where Andy McArthur lived. A couple of years later, the business moved to its current location.

In 1962, John and wife Rita purchased McArthur Farm Supply. Since then, the business has grown in leaps and bounds, as has the Town of Renfrew.

A plaque on the wall in Burnett’s office from the day reads, “International Harvester is pleased to announce the appointment of a new farm equipment dealership for Renfrew and vicinity to be known as McArthur and Burnett Farm Supply. A new place of operation is being established a half

‘Half a mile south’ is now almost the centre of Renfrew.

“I’m 53 years here, and 11 with International Harvester before that,” John said, “and I milked cows before that,” he added with a grin.

“Renfrew is a wonderful town to raise a family. Very nice,” Rita said. “We lived on Basswood. Everybody had young children and they just had a wonderful time. They could walk to the beach with a towel over their shoulders.”

John and Rita are the parents of five – Shirley-Ann Holley, John Burnett, Mary-Liz Bur-

nett, Margaret Burnett and Tom Burnett.

“All five of us have worked here at one time or another,” Mary-Liz said.

Family members brought up a few names of employees from present and the past.

“One of the first employees for dad was George Whalen,” son John said. “He lived in Admaston. I think he started right out of high school.”

Another name in the company for years is Ambrose Burnett, John’s younger brother.

“Ambrose was the manager when we had the Pembroke location,” Mary-Liz recalled. He started in 1973 and is retiring

this year.

Several other long-term employees include Kent Storie in the shop, Wayne Ready in parts, Max Yaraskavitch, Bob Dagenais, Brian Reinert, Paul Boudreau and Kelly McNulty, Mary-Liz added.

Shirley-Ann Holley has been employed at her father’s business for 32 years. John and Rita’s son-in-law Bernard Holley has also worked with the company for a number of years, while many of the grandchildren have worked there part time.

“It’s going to be a big change, but I think we’re ready for it,” John said of retirement.

“I know we’re ready for it,” Rita added.

“Something that is going on in the industry is that farm equipment corporations don’t want single dealers anymore,” Mary-Liz said.

“Not that we felt pressured to leave the industry, but that’s the way it’s going. It works perfectly. This is a great partnership, selling to Reises.”

The Burnetts thank the many customers and co-workers who brought them happiness over 53 years and wishes Reis Equipment continued success.

John said he and Rita will be driving by and be keeping an eye on the place.

Venta Rainbow Day celebrates differences Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

They came dressed in every colour of the rainbow.

Students and staff at Venta Preparatory School celebrated differences and diversity with a Rainbow Day on April 10.

Dressed in colourful clothes – in place of the usual school uniform – the day was all about revelling in each other’s differences.

“I think it’s awesome, it makes everyone feel good about themselves,” said Grade 7 student Ethan Costescu. “People can come and be who they are.”

The older students created a mural featuring painted handprints and a rainbow on which everyone was invited to write something that symbolizes and celebrates their differences as a person.

“Everyone wrote something special about themselves,” said Grade 9 student Neola Duthie. “It gave people an easy way to say what they wanted to say.”

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Students and staff at Venta Preparatory School in Carp dress in rainbow colours on April 10 to celebrate the differences that make every one unique.

Grade 8 student Aidan Mackenzie shared what he wrote.

“I put down that I go to

church and where my family comes from,” said Aiden, adding the importance of Rainbow Day is about “Peo-

ple are coming out and being themselves.”

The notes ranged from fun to serious but it’s gratify-

ing as an educator to see the students feel safe enough to write the messages no matter the content, said Elizabeth

Barnes, manager of admissions. “It’s nice to celebrate how we’re all different on the inside.”

Ward 5 West Carleton-March My latest Work on Hydro one/Hydro ottaWa As many of you are aware Hydro One costs and the talk of a potential transfer of service to Hydro Ottawa has been an ongoing issue in the rural communities of Ottawa since amalgamation. In recent weeks, I have made some strides in working on this complicated issue. I have had conversations with Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli, as well as a meeting with Bryce Conrad, CEO of Hydro Ottawa.

At the Finance & Economic Development Committee on April 7, I put forward an inquiry for a full report on Hydro One transfer discussions to date. Specifically, I asked if Council could be provided with an update on the status of the negotiations between Hydro Ottawa and Hydro One with respect to the transfer of more than 42,000 Ottawa rural residents currently with Hydro One to Hydro Ottawa.

My intent with this inquiry is to make sure that before any potential transfer of customers were to happen, that the residents affected would have an opportunity to review all of the options and have a say on how to proceed. I want to make sure that all the cards are on the table so that educated decisions can be made.

One of the main issues is that if Hydro One sells their rural customer assets to Hydro Ottawa, then those customers would be required pay for the capital infrastructure as part of the transfer. This is infrastructure that is already in place (cables, poles, transformers, etc). This would mean that rural Hydro One customers would have to buy the assets back from Hydro One. The problem being, we have already paid for the assets! Why should we have to pay for them again?

Another issue of note is that Hydro One rural customers are paying an average of $340 to $360 per year more than Hydro Ottawa customers. An inequity in place since amalgamation.

Stay tuned as I continue to work on this issue. Your feedback is important and resident engagement will be key moving forward.

Rexall has again stepped up to the tee as the title sponsor for the Rexall Golf Classic charity event set for June 19.

The Golf Classic has been the premier fundraiser for the Almonte General Hospital (AGH) and Fairview Manor Foundation since 2003.

“Rexall has been with us for this event for seven years now, and that is absolutely extraordinary, said Al Lunney, AGH Foundation board chair.

“That kind of loyalty and corporate support is not only an endorsement of the good work at AGH and Fairview Manor, but it is also an indicator of Rexall’s commitment to this community.”

Golf enthusiasts and supporters can register for this year’s event, which includes a barbecue lunch, 18 holes with a cart, steak dinner, prizes and an auction at the Canadian Golf and Country Club. The day of golf is $125 per golfer or $500 for a foursome.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, April 16, 2015 23

Seniors invited to discuss rural transit options emma.jackson@metroland.com

.COM

Upcoming meetings in West Carleton, Vars and Manotick will bring seniors and service providers together to talk about rural transportation options.

The Council on Aging Ottawa has teamed up with OC and Para Transpo, community support service agencies and the Seniors Transportation Committee to offer a breakdown of transportation services available for rural seniors in Ottawa.

“I hope the seniors can come to understand who does what, where they can get the service and what it will do for them,” said Carp’s Mar-

garet Dunn, one of the organizers and a member of the city’s Seniors Round Table.

The information sessions will discuss access to Para Transpo services in the rural area, as well as the community support services that now fill in the gaps left by a Para Transpo policy change in 2012.

Since that time, Para Transpo no longer provides service between two rural destinations, only trips from a rural address to an urban address and back.

Three provincially-funded community agencies have picked up the slack to provide largely volunteerrun transit for seniors and people with disabilities, with $506,000 in

The agencies, Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC), Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) and the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre (EORC), will be on hand at the meetings to explain their services as well.

The presentations will also cover OC Transpo’s shopping bus services and its travel training program to help seniors use transit safely.

Guests are invited to the Galetta Community Centre in West Carleton on Friday, April 24 between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. (or 11:30 a.m. if you want to register for a free lunch).

A meeting for southern residents will take place May 1 at the Manotick arena between 12:45 and 2:15 p.m.

“If you can take the time to get to know who those agencies are and what they can do for you, it’s an insurance for yourself,” she said.

A person’s health or living situation can change so quickly, she added. “It’s not the kind of thing to do when faced with a sudden emergency. It’s about making arrangements to enjoy the best possible quality of life in one’s rural home.”

Take Dunn, for example. When she had cataract surgery, she couldn’t drive and had to find another way home to Carp.

She booked her Para Transpo trip weeks in advance, she said, and made use of the service’s discounted taxi coupon books.

She also asked her medical clinic to book all of her follow-up appointments on Wednesdays, so she could make use of the shopper bus that heads into Stittsville from Carp once a week.

That’s one way to take advantage of transit, Dunn said, but for a senior with mobility issues who is limited to using only Para Transpo or an accessible taxi, the system is by no means perfect.

For one thing, the non-profit agencies can’t afford to operate outside of regular banking hours, which means some rural seniors are stuck at home in the evenings and on weekends.

And a trip on Para Transpo costs $17.20 round trip – and counting.

That’s a problem if you want to encourage seniors to live at home longer, she said.

“The worst thing that can happen is someone says, ‘I can’t afford it,’ so they stop going to the doctor, they stop going out,” Dunn said.

But Pat Scrimgeour, assistant manager for OC Transpo systems

planning, said fares have become more equitable since the city’s policy change in 2012.

Leading up to that, seniors’ advocates had pushed for a flat fare to get rid of the confusing fare zones that could cost a rider up to $20 one way depending on their destination.

It’s not the kind of thing to do when faced with a sudden emergency.

It’s about making arrangements to enjoy the best possible quality of life in one’s rural home.

MARGARET DUNN

While today someone going from Manotick to Barrhaven might be miffed by the high cost, many others who can now get from the outskirts into downtown for less than $20 are saving money, Scrimgeour said.

As for seniors abandoned on evenings and weekends, Scrimgeour said in 2011 there were 48 weekend trips commissioned the entire year, and only 19 evening trips.

“These rural to rural trips were quite likely made by a single digit number of people,” Scrimgeour said.

The money saved by farming out rural-to-rural trips – which was costing the city up to $300 each time – means “more people are travelling for the same number of dollars.”

West Carleton Secondary could be hit by teachers strike Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

April can be a tumultuous time, and not just with the weather.

Parents of public secondary school students in Ottawa have been notified of the looming possibility of labour strife, the result of a collision between teacher’s union demands and the province’s deficit-reduction strategy.

On April 9, Jennifer Adams, director of education for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, send a letter to parents and guardians of students, advising them on the labour situation.

“The collective agreements for all unionized school board employees in Ontario, includ-

ing teachers, occasional teachers and support staff expired on August 31, 2014,” Adams wrote.

“Currently, none of our bargaining units is in a legal strike position; however, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) representing the secondary school teachers and secondary occasional teachers will be in a legal strike position on April 19, 2015.”

According to Adams, the OCDSB is currently in negotiations with its employee groups, a situation that carries with it no immediate risk of labour disruption. If an agreement isn’t reached, however, that situation could change.

One of the options for the members is a full-scale walk-

out and suspension of teaching services.

With the end of the school year looming, the timing of a possible strike would give strength to the union’s hand in negotiations.

A post on the OCDSB’s labour relations page, dated April 9, notes an earlier statement by the OSSTF is considering “a full withdrawal off services in seven districts, including the OCDSB, but the end of April, 2015.”

The risk of disruptions does not carry over to elementary schools at this time.

The province, which is currently facing a $10.9 billion deficit they’ve pledged to eliminate in three years’ time, has stated that there is no new money available for wage in-

Spring into art

creases.

Already, school boards faced with stagnant or declining provincial funding have begun the process of reducing staff not covered under collective agreements, such as special education providers.

The OSSTF isn’t willing to accept a pay freeze.

Paul Elliot, OSSTF presi-

dent, told the Toronto Star (Metroland’s parent company) on April 8 that a major concern for the union was contract clawbacks that could impact learning conditions.

While Durham region would see the first strike action (on April 20) if talks fall apart, other boards, including Ottawa, could follow. The OCDSB is

listed along with Peel, Halton, Sudbury, Lakehead (Thunder Bay) and Waterloo as regions that could see labour action in the coming days.

Under the province’s Labour Relations Act, a minimum of five days’ notice is required to be given to school boards before any strike action taken by the OSSTF.

Choirs ‘get-together in song’ to perform Vivaldi’s Gloria ria. Along with Webber, local soprano and voice teacher Suzana McNeil will also be featured as a soloist throughout the concert.

Oboe, violin, and piano accompaniment will round out the afternoon of singing.

Collaborating with other choirs is a unique and inspiring venture. When Kanata approached Arnprior about singing together this season, Webber jumped at the chance.

Combining choristers, two conductors, accompanists, as well as performing in two communities, is very exciting.

“Our choir is thriving,” she said.

“We are very active and involved within our community.

Going beyond our local area and singing with other choirs is a great opportunity. It gives us the chance to present larger works and more challenging repertoire,” said Webber.

The Arnprior Community Choir is in its 24th season under Webber’s direction.

As well as the Arnprior choir, she is music director for Two Rivers Musical Productions, the Ottawa Valley Girls Choir, a ladies ensemble TUTTI, and teaches many students in her busy vocal studio.

Webber is very proud and inspired by the members of the community choir. Over 50 members join together each Tuesday night to rehearse and make music.

Throughout the year, the choir sings at nursing homes, various clubs/organizations, senior programs, and fundraising events. ‘Together in Song’ is one of two concerts that the Arnprior choir presents each year.

The Kanata Choral Society also has a long history within its community. During the last 27 years it has been a part of the cultural scene in the Kanata area.

The 40-plus member choir gives three major performances each year and has taken part in other community events.

Arnprior is in for a rare musical treat this spring, because the joint choirs of the Arnprior Community Choir and the Kanata Choral Society are presenting Antonio Vivaldi’s Gloria, a joyful and uplifting classical work.

More than 80 singers, soloists, and guest instrumentalists will fill the church with classical choral singing and make the rafters ring.

The Gloria, a jubilant hymn of praise and worship, is divided into 12 relatively brief movements contrasting in mood, musical texture, and vocal color. To round out the program, both choirs will present their own set of pieces featuring the singers from each ensemble.

Scott Auchinleck, music director of the Kanata Choral Society, will be conducting the large, combined work.

Lisa Webber, music director of the Arnprior Community Choir, will be featured as a mezzo soprano soloist in Glo-

West Carleton Review - Thursday, April 16, 2015 27

Much goes on in Rural Root production of ‘That Darn Plot!’ characters and creating an overall flow.

Continuity manager Amanda Sauve attributes much of this early success to director Ron Gardner. “Ron has had a very clear vision since the start, and he’s just been refining it during rehearsals. The actors are developing their characters within this.”

Of course, Sauve’s supportive specific feedback when reviewing a scene is tremendously valuable too.

Indeed, the play includes an interesting mix of veteran actors and some newcomers. In some cases, such as producer Barb O’Dell, there has been a gradual progression from audience enthusiast to performer to this latest role on the production team.

O’Dell is thrilled to be part of the whole process, seeing things unfold from auditions to staging. She is enjoying the challenge, noting, “I’m surprised by all the clerical work

involved in being a producer.”

She adds: “It’s a new thing for me delegating so much, and it has to be done with such diplomacy. Still, the reason I wanted to try this role is to see a production from the other side and I’m really loving it.”

Providing O’Dell with some support and guidance is Helen Weeden, one of the Rural Root founders. Weeden emphasizes her role is to stay in the background, working on the books, helping with the program, and providing some mentoring guidance.

“Managing time is one of the biggest learning curves for someone new to production,” observes Weeden. Nonetheless, it all seems to be worth it in the end, as the play is full of laughs, twists and turns.

Be sure to mark your calendars to attend one of the May 27 to 30 performances. Better yet, go online to book your tickets now, as the box office is already open.

At Rural Root’s rehearsal for the May 27-30 run of That Darn Plot! last week, the importance of a smooth operating production team was crystal clear.

Much like an iceberg floating majestically on the ocean, the audience only sees a tiny portion of what is involved in putting on a play.

On performance nights, the audience is transported to a magical place as the actors share a story on the stage.

However, without a director, stage manager, producer and countless behind-the-scenes supporters, those performances could not come to life as convincingly.

In speaking to a couple members of the team, it was obvious they hold great respect for one another and are thoroughly enjoying seeing the production develop. They all commented on how excited they are to see the play coming together as the actors are settling more into their roles and establishing their

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

A weekly guide in legal matters

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

I am buying a house. The house is about 27 years old.

Does the seller have any obligation to disclose any problems with the house?

In general, there are limited obligations for the seller to disclose any problems with the property to interested buyers. Further, the sellers are not required to provide any warranties as to the condition of the property they are selling.

Let the Buyer Beware.

The law in Ontario is pretty clear “let the buyer beware”.

Unless there is a fraud, misrepresentation or mistake made by the seller, the buyer takes the existing property as he finds it. The general rule is that there is no obligation to disclose patent or visible defects. Exception to this rule are serious hidden defects or serious concealed defects.

Hidden defects are those that are not discoverable by a reasonable inspection. A proper home inspection is therefore crucial for anyone buying a resale home.

Further, such defects have to be serious enough to either affect the integrity of the house, render the house unfit for human habitation or involve deliberate concealment.

Rescue drills highlight importance of spring water safety Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

I

stepped out on the ice, hesitantly walking forward – my eyes closed, the sun shining and a warming breeze playing across my face. Someone yelling I’m not going fast enough. “Walk faster, walk faster!”

My shuffles become a quicker, lumbering gait. I feel my left foot step out over nothing.

The icy water rushes up over me.

More yelling; “Get your ice picks out! Pull yourself up!”

I do a one-eighty in the water, ripping at the Velcro pocket on my sleeve for the two orange picks hiding in there. I belly up to the edge of the ice, kicking my feet. I kick harder, propelling myself up and forward onto the ice, digging the picks in.

My right hand comes down with the pick into the ice. Kick. My left hand moves farther forward digging in the second pick. Kick. Reach with the right hand and dig in. Left hand, dig in. Kick, kick.

Then I’m out of the water. I scramble onto my knees and stand up, arms raised.

There’s clapping. I feel like taking a bow.

drills, which I was invited to try my hand at, at the Galetta hydro dam on March 29.

Five of us were clothed in dry suits – large rubber coveralls with attached boots and gloves to keep the cold water out – while the trainers had less

cumbersome attire that allows for a greater range of movement.

Lt. Paul Champion-Demers, Dylan Lidbetter, Adam O’Rourke and Andrew Penney led the training while Lt. Dale Hopper was point-man in case anything went amiss. Firefight-

ers Quin Champion-Demers, Justin Paradis-Sénéchal, Greg Veldhuizen and Jonathan Wilker, and myself, practiced the water drills.

It’s important for firefighters to know what it feels like to go through the ice so they don’t panic when someone’s life is in danger, said Paul.

It can be disorienting for a rescuer if they’ve never experienced what it feels like. The training gives the firefighters a chance to get accustomed to the suits they need to wear, how to judge distance and the swiftness of the current in a non-threatening atmosphere.

As it was, it took a good 20 minutes to wrestle ourselves into the suits once we arrived on site – a luxury not afforded when someone is trapped in the water.

The average response time is around 15 minutes, said Paul. That includes the volunteers getting to the station, grabbing their gear, and making it to the site of the rescue.

The first eight minutes in belowfreezing water are the most crucial when the body has the most energy.

That time should be spent in attempts to get back onto the ice and solid ground. The dolphin kick (kicking one’s legs super-fast) is the best way to propel a body into the ice, especially when there’s nothing to grab onto.

Massive Glebe fire deemed arson Explosion reported before blaze gutted six businesses Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

After examining the wreckage left behind from the massive April 9 fire in the Glebe, the Ottawa Police Serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arson unit has determined the blaze was deliberately set.

The arson unit, which was working with investigators from Ottawa Fire and the Ontario Fire Marshall, announced their findings on April 12. A criminal investigation is now underway.

The late night fire, which consumed six businesses in a one-storey retail strip at Bank Street and Fifth Avenue, was preceded by a loud and powerful explosion that injured one passer-by. Despite a quick response from Ottawa Fire, the damage and extent of the fire kept crews back, forcing them

to attack the blaze from the perimeter and above until the early hours of April 10.

The Beaverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mug Cafe, Silver Scissors Hair, Encino Taco Shop, a Pizza Pizza, a Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convenience store, and a Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cleaners were destroyed in the blaze. Police havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said what exactly caused the explosion, though the blast was quickly confirmed.

On April 10, Ottawa Fire Capt. Bob Rainboth said an explosion preceded the blaze. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One member of the pub-

lic received minor lacerations from the glass being shot out, and there was one minor injury to an officer who was treated at the scene,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Shortly after the blast, the storefront glass and window frames of the hair salon and coffee shop could be seen lying on the sidewalk, with other components bent outwards. Chairs could also be seen lying on the

street outside the business.

The news that arson was behind the fire has angered many, including Andrew Peck, executive director of the Glebe Business Improvement Area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea someone would deliberately destroy the livelihoods of hard working people who are committed to serving our community and city, and to cause dozens of people to lose their jobs is just very sad,â&#x20AC;? said Peck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do everything we can to support our members

and local businesses.â&#x20AC;?

Though the remains of the building will have to be torn down, there is already talk of rebuilding. The desire to rise from the ashes and reclaim the gap in storefront retail is encouraging for Peck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Business owners are resilient types. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still taking stock in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next. Some business owners are already considering other locations already.â&#x20AC;?

Water drills an exhaustive lesson Continued from page 33

F

or us trainees, the first drill was to fall into the water, eyes closed, and then use the ice picks to get back onto the ice. The second exercise was the same, but without the use of the picks.

Once we mastered those skills, we began rescue manoeuvres.

My ‘victim’ was floating quickly through the current. I judged my jump-off point and ran towards the water, executing a graceful half-belly flop into the water.

I swam out to where I thought the victim would end up but found myself a few strokes ahead. So I waited for the current to bring him to me – something the firefighters wouldn’t dream of doing.

Then I had to manoeuvre

myself onto my back while pulling the victim back-first onto my stomach – this keeps the victim’s head above water – and wrapping my arms and legs around him to keep us both afloat. A couple quick taps of my hand against my helmet signalled I was ready to be hauled back to shore, where I flopped onto my back and attempted to catch my breath.

That drill took a lot of effort.

Finally, we were deemed ready to try our swimming without the safety of a rope attaching us to the shore.

We spent some time floating around the water in our buoyant suits, learning how the current felt and the best ways to swim through the water without completely tiring ourselves in the process.

From left, firefighters Justin Paradis-Sénéchal, Jonathan Wilker, Quin Champion-Demers, and Greg Veldhuizen, take a moment to prepare before jumping into the frigid waters, while the instructors finish marking the safe zone.

We practiced hauling a victim onto the rescue boat – which is a lot more effort than just jumping in the water after someone. I’m not very good at this, no upper body strength have I, and my partner needs

to haul me backward by my lifejacket in order to half-lift our victim onto the raft.

By the end of the five hours, I’m exhausted and I can feel my muscles preparing to protest loudly at their abuse. I’ve learned a lot, but I also hope I never have to put any of what I’ve learned into practice.

Everyone else is pretty

chipper though, discussing what they’re going to do once the final briefing is finished – grab some lunch, finish homework, spend time with their kids.

As volunteer firefighters they put their time in – whether training or on call – on top of full and part-time jobs, schooling, and the other mi-

nutiae of life.

They know what they’re doing.

But they remind people to try to not to make their job more difficult by falling through the ice and requiring their rescue services.

I had the luxury of a warm rubber suit; but that water is still darn cold.

Carp’s Neighbourhood Tomato community garden a ‘growing’ success With a new name and a fresh infusion of volunteers and expertise, Carp’s successful small community garden project is it set to grow significantly this year.

From a demonstration project producing a variety of produce and herbs in four accessible raised beds in the heart of the village, the Neighbourhood Tomato-West Carleton is expanding.

This year local residents, families and community groups can sign up for a season’s ownership of one of at least 12, 4 x 8 foot raised rectangular garden beds. The four existing raised garden boxes are also available to those with special needs.

In addition, the expanded

garden will also feature a new collaborative garden section where volunteers will be able to help plant, nurture and grow food that will be harvested and donated to local food banks.

Garden co-ordinator Michelle Rehkopf says it’s a great opportunity.

“What I like best about the project is that not only does it allow people of all ages and abilities to get out and build new connections and learn about growing their own food, vegetables will also be cultivated by volunteers in the collaborative garden section that will be harvested and donated to those in need. It’s a fantastic opportunity to contribute to Carp and our surrounding communities.”

Located beside the Carp fairgrounds on land donated to the project by the Anglican Parish of Huntley, the garden will feature prepared raised beds, embedded irrigation equipment and all the tools and other materials required to operate each plot, free of charge.

Individuals, families or groups who sign up for garden beds will have to opportunity to plant and grow healthy food. They and anyone else who wishes to can also volunteer to help plant, tend and harvest a large community garden section where a range of produce will be grown entirely for donation.

There are plans to host gardening workshops for youth

and adults as well as other community gardening events.

The first scheduled event is a garden install day on May 23 and a planting day on May 30.

A new partnership with the Almonte and Carleton Place Neighbourhood Tomato Community Gardens has given the Carp project a real boost.

“Jeff Mills of the Mills Community Support in Almonte has been instrumental in organizing a number of very successful shared accessible gardens in his community in an initiative known as the Neighborhood Tomato.

By partnering with them, our project is benefitting from their experience and support.” says Rehkopf.

“The mission of the Neighbourhood Tomato is ‘Growing Food, Building Community’ and when we help something grow, we grow ourselves.

“One of our needs will be for individuals or organizations who want to help educate the people about gardening.

We envision having mentors give advice at different points during the growing season,” she explained.

Seatbelt-related deaths hit 10-year low: OPP Seeing seatbelt-related deaths on OPP-patrolled roads shrink from 120 10 years ago (2005) to 50 last year (2014) has the police optimistic about the growing importance road users are placing on using proper restraints when driving.

“We are proud to see Ontarians come such a long way with seat belt

safety over the past 10 years,” said OPP chief superintendent Chuck Cox. “In spite of the steady progress, we need all road users to start recognizing the significant role a seat belt plays in increasing one’s chances of surviving a road crash and reducing the severity of injuries.”

Over the Easter long weekend, the

OPP conducted province-wide, education and targeted enforcement of seat belt laws to address those few road users who need to be nudged to buckle up.

The OPP would prefer to see drivers do this through their own initiative rather than police enforcement.

Over the past 10 years, 856 people

have died in road crashes in which not wearing a seat belt was a causal factor in their deaths.

More than two-thirds (646) of the dead were males and 210 were females. The majority of those who died (611) were drivers and 245 were passengers.

The OPP is issuing an important

reminder to passengers, in particular those who sit in the back seat.

When a collision occurs with unbuckled passengers in the back seat, this can set a deadly stage for personto-person impact.

People in the front seat are often struck by unbelted backseat passengers who become high-speed projectiles inside the vehicle, sometimes contributing to the death of those who were wearing a seat belt and might have otherwise survived.

Church dinner and auction night more Sweet peppers make penne peperonata a classic, simple dish than a good meal for a good cause Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Sweet peppers are even sweeter in this simple but delicious Italian classic.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes.

Cooking Time: 20 minutes.

Serves: 6 main dishes or 8 side dishes.

The auction and spaghetti dinner night at St. Paul’s United Church is more than a good meal for a good cause – it’s a chance for people to commune with one another.

The funds raised from the evening go back into the community and help support the church, said member Camille Boivin, but it’s really an occasion to get together with others and feel a sense of community belonging.

“I think being engaged in a community with people that care for each other, that’s inspiring. Just to take a couple hours to be in that sense of community and sharing, that’s really uplifting,” she said.

“It’s just a fun evening …

Whether you go to Sunday mass or not (it’s) nice to belong somewhere.”

The event will also feature

the musical stylings of the church’s pianist and musical director Ryan Phelps.

Phelps has helped infuse the church with a fresh energy, bringing new music to gatherings as well as introducing other local musicians, such as Rebecca Noelle who participated in St. Paul’s Easter celebration.

“We really want to showcase our music director and his influence,” said Boivin. “(He has) a relentless commitment.”

St. Paul’s is still looking for interesting items for auction – with a focus on people’s talents. Last year, voice lessons and an artistry class were two of the items auctioned and Boivin said they’re looking for other ideas in a similar vein for this year.

“It could be anything you have as a talent that you’d like to share,” she said, adding things like music, art or

woodworking lessons would be neat, or perhaps an offer to clean someone’s yard or mentor someone on how to write a novel.

“When you have these talents, these mentoring moments when you share your gift, it’s like, ‘Wow,’” said Boivin.

The auction and spaghetti dinner takes place on Saturday, April 25, with doors opening at 5 p.m. and dinner at 5:30 p.m. Tickets cost $12 for adults, $8 for students, and children under age five eat free.

St. Paul’s United Church is located at 3760 Carp Rd. For tickets in advance, or to donate an item for auction, call 613-839-2155 or email stpaulsunitedcarp@sympatico.ca.

Ladies chorus gives back An important philosophy of the (WOLC) is to bring joy to community members that might not be able to attend local events and concerts.

Recently at Robertson House was the first of six times the group will gather to take music to seniors.

They will also visit Stittsville Villa, Richmond Hospice, Empress Kanata, Fairview Manor and the Royale Senior Residence.

They will present a selection of numbers from the annual spring concert program. Residents at Robertson House sang and clapped as they were treated to the voices of WOLC. “I enjoy the joy of making music together,” said chorus member Ruth Sword.

“My challenge is stretching to learn new music or new arrangements of familiar ones.”

Sword has met her chal-

lenge and loves to share the result. She sings second soprano, a rich tone that blends with the first sopranos and first and second altos to bring a special quality to each number.

It was obvious that the residents at Robertson House agreed - their smiles were evident as they hummed along with familiar pieces.

West end-raised rappers drop first full-length album Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Three guys from Kanata are hoping to teach Ottawa hip-hop groups a thing or two about innovation with their first full-length album that brings a new sound to what they say is a stale scene.

The album, released on March 5, is titled + + +, a nod to the group’s name, The Adding Machine.

Taking on the name of a 1923 play by Elmer Rice where an accountant of 25 years is replaced by an adding machine, the group’s intention to bring something new to Ottawa seemed clear from the beginning.

Echoing the plot of the play, Johnny McArthur, a.k.a. Defckon, said, “Instead of everybody (in Ottawa’s hip-hop scene) doing the exact same thing over and over again, we essentially wanted to replace that.”

The group’s new album aims to introduce something new with the help of the other two members of The Adding Machine: Arreh Searag, a.k.a. Yuukon, and Ethan Howieson, a.k.a. E.on.

The group released a mixtape and an EP, which proved there was an interest for their music in Ottawa, gaining some downloads and attention.

The Adding Machine has since performed at venues

like Ritual, Babylon, Zaphod’s and others, and has worked to distill their sound to something they say is new and innovative.

Adding to their hip-hop influences, the group drew on local hardcore metal music to make + + +.

“We really wanted to bring an energy and sound to the album that would go over really well live,” said Howieson.

The group took cues from metal music, and infused their work with that same heavy, angry, energetic vibe that gets the crowd on their feet.

“A lot of people’s music, it’s like smiley and nice,” said MacArthur. “It’s like, ‘Yeah, you get a pat on the back. We are all great in Ottawa.’ We wanted to do something to sort of turn it on its head.”

That means purposefully rubbing people the wrong way and not conforming to the norm, as evidenced by the new album’s cover – a cow corpse with everything below the head stripped to the bone.

Even the album’s name, + + +, which MacArthur describes as “wholly ungoogleable,” is consciously anti-corporate.

To check out The Adding Machine’s new album, go to theaddingmachine. bandcamp.com.

Musicale will be performed at 7 p.m. in St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kanata at

20 Young Rd. Tickets ($15) are available through choir members and at the door.

Craft brewers want a place of their own in booze shake-up Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

The organization that represents Ontario craft beer producers is calling on the province to expand their proposed liberalization of alcohol retailing to include dedicated craft beer stores.

On March 24, Ontario Craft Brewers issued a media release designed to add “another idea to the conversation” about the way beer is retailed in Ontario.

Currently, the province is working out a way to open up its restricted alcohol retailing system beyond just the publically-owned LCBO and privately-owned Beer Store.

Premier Kathleen Wynne has already stated the possibility of allowing large grocery stores to bid on licenses that would allow them to sell wine and beer.

Currently, small craft brewers can only sell their wares from a single, on-site shop, or by competing for a spot amidst the limited spaces available on shelves at the LCBO or Beer Store. The craft brewers group is proposing that breweries be able to open a second, off-site store, which would also be able to sell other local craft beers.

“The ability to sell in this complementary channel will help grow the industry of 150 (plus) small, independent and entrepreneurial craft breweries that are operating throughout the province, with more planned and opening on a steady basis,” the Ontario Craft Brewers said in a statement.

“This new channel would also directly impact the growth of the emerging local hop industry, which is also expanding across the province.”

Two years ago, the brewers calculated that there were about 1,000 direct craft brewery jobs in Ontario, a number that has certainly risen since then. The group calculated that the proposal – given growing demand from Ontario beer drinkers and planned brewery expansions and upstarts – would assist in creating 1,000 to 2,000 additional brewery jobs, as well as

four to five jobs in each off-site store.

“The fact that Ontario Craft Brewers continue to proliferate to the degree they have, in spite of the retail access barriers they face, is a testament to their fierce determination to make world class products and to a surging consumer demand for those products,” said Ontario Craft Brewers president John Hay is a media release.

Hay added that craft brewers need a retail channel “that is a true extension of the craft brewing movement.”

Neighbouring Quebec, which allows beer and wine sales in corner stores as well as grocery stores, also has standalone craft beer stores reserved solely for Quebec brews.

Josh McJannett, co-founder of Ottawa’s Dominion City Brewing Company, said his east-end operation is eagerly following the booze debate in Ontario.

Dominion City started operations in September of last year and has already expanded

Le Marché des Brasseurs d’ici, located in Gatineau, is one of many Quebec retail stores devoted solely to selling local craft beers. Ontario brewers would like to see something similar allowed.

Tom Bastien

4823 Ferry road , Fitzroy

said McJannett.

“Very soon – and a lot of other brewers are in the same boat – we’ll hit a glass ceiling. The demand is there, but we can’t get the product to them.”

Existing alcohol laws in Ontario – which date to the late 1920s – are frustrating, McJannett said, adding that the discussion about new retailing models is welcome, albeit overdue.

“Hopefully the province is serious about changing this,” he said.

to meet growing demand. The brewery and on-site shop employs a team of seven people.

Having recently returned from a meeting of Ontario hop growers (Dominion sources its ingredients locally), McJannett called the craft beer store idea “a neat concept,” and added that Ontarians want better options on how to purchase craft beer.

“Our bottle shop is only open 20 hours a week, and besides select bars, that’s the only time consumers can buy our beer,”

Kinburn soccer player scoring overseas Local player scottcampbell@metroland.com

Local soccer player Kris Twardek is making a name for himself in England.

Since 2013, Twardek, who turned 18 on March 8, has been experiencing an opportunity of lifetime, although not without some bumps along the way.

The former Arnprior Dis-

trict High School student and Kinburn resident, had auditioned for a spot in England’s Youth Millwall Football Club, based in London. The judges were quite impressed with Kris’ talent.

Twardek who is also an Ottawa South United alumni - United is a soccer academy - signed his first professional contract with the Millwall Lions FC back in February. The

exciting development of signing the contract took a difficult turn, as in the very same week, Twardek, who is a striker, was struck in the face and ended up with a broken jaw and had to be taken off the field.

He spent a year and a half in Millwall’s Academy and most recently played for the U21 squad. Kyron Farrell and Jamie Philpot were the other prospects to be offered profes-

picked in first round of OHL draft

sional contracts.

Academy Director Scott Fitzgerald said in a press release: “This is another step on the ladder for them, moving up to work with Neil Harris and the U21s full-time.”

The love for the sport runs in the family - with Twardek’s brother, Will, putting in time in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport Soccer league and playing with Queen’s University.

The Ontario Hockey League’s draft on the weekend has a local connection.

Liam Hawel, a student at Arnprior District High School, was given an early birthday gift.

Hawel, who turns 16 on April 18, was selected 22nd overall in the first round to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. “(The selection) wasn’t a surprise. Sault Ste. Marie was very interested in Liam,” said Hawel’s father, Andrew.

Liam’s mother, Maureen, teaches at St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Arnprior.

“It’s all great and exciting.

Liam will be going up (to the Soo) in the next few weeks.”

Andrew noted the eighthour drive from Arnprior to Sault Ste. Marie is far, but credited the storied history of the Greyhounds team, coach and players as a source of positives for Liam and his family.

The most acclaimed past Greyhound would be the Great One himself – Wayne

Gretzky put in playing time with the team. The Greyhounds head coach Sheldon Keefe was once an NHL player and past owner of the Pembroke Lumber Kings, so knows the Ottawa Valley well.

Hawel has been playing this season with the Ottawa Valley Titans, who won the OEMHL Minor Midget AAA championship over the Ottawa 67’s in March.

The centreman finished off the 2014-15 season with 18 goals and 31 assists for 49 points in 25 regular-season games and another five goals and nine assists in the playoffs.

“He was second overall in the league for scoring,” said Andrew.

The junior hockey league teams made their priority choices on April l1. There were 15 rounds and 302 selections from 90 different teams across Ontario and even parts of the United States.

The players drafted included 170 forwards, 104 defencemen, and 28 goaltenders.

Ottawa Senators general manager Bryan Murray accepts a smile, created by the children at the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre, from Kyle Stackhouse as Smilezone’s Danielle Burke looks on at a press conference unveiling the new Smilezone at the centre. The redesign was part of a joint effort between the centre, the Smilezone Foundation and the Ottawa Senators Foundation.

0409. R0013218630

The Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre showed off its new Smilezone, a remodeled waiting room for children seeking medical treatment, on March 9.

The new waiting room features an aquarium, iPads for children to play with and original artwork decorating the walls as well as a new reception desk.

The treatment centre provides specialized supports for children and their families, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech-language therapy.

Calling it the ‘Extreme Smilezone Makeover’ with the construction time squeezed into one weekend, Kathleen Stokely, CEO of the treatment centre, called it a “grand undertaking.”

“We believe when you look at the results, it will delight and enchant clients, family, staff and visitors alike,” she said.

“There was a beehive of activity here with various work crews demolishing the old areas and installing new drywall and custom cabinetry, including a new reception desk and a new fish tank.”

On hand at the event was John Hartin, chairman of the Ottawa Treatment Centre’s board of directors.

“Over the last two years Smilezone has had great success and growth,” said Harton.

“OCTC’s renovation represents Smilezone’s

sixth makeover.”

Bryan Murray, general manager of the Ottawa Senators was on hand as an honourary guest at the event.

Battling colon cancer, Murray knows the importance of an uplifting environment in a normally drab and intimidating hospital.

“When you go to a hospital on a regular basis you love an area that’s smiley,” said Murray.

“Where your family, your friends and yourself can enjoy a little quiet time.”

“I truly take it as an honour to be recognized this way,” he said. “I know (by experience) going through treatment, going through the everyday needs you have when you’re not 100 per cent. For the children and their families that are here on a regular basis. I hope this is a good area for them.”

All of the funds for the renovations were donated by the Smilezone Foundation, which supplied its own construction workers.

Scott Bachly, chairman and founding member of the Smilezone Foundation was also at the unveiling as well as co-founding member Adam Graves, vice chairman and former National Hockey League hockey player. The foundation was formed after Bachly and Graves and their wives, after a long planning process, decided they wanted to make a positive change for children and society across Canada.

“After numerous, soul-searching meetings between Adam, myself, our wives and our children, we decided this was an opportunity not only to give back to our community but to our

Residents greet victorious Sens team with electric homecoming Erin McCracken

About 2,000 fans gathered to welcome home the Ottawa Senators at the Esso Avitat at the Ottawa International Airport following the team’s 3-1 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, April 11. The team is now battling against the Montreal Canadiens in the first round of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.

“Even if they fail the first round, I don’t care, as long as they made the playoffs,” he

said. “Fourteen points down (and) in six weeks they made the playoffs? That’s crazy.”

Layton sat glued to the television screen during the game against the Flyers.

With every goal, Layton felt less nervous, before finally breathing a sigh of relief that the team had made it to the playoffs.

“We’re good, we’re good.

We’re going to the airport,” he said gleefully.

Paul Disley, owner of JPD Aviation which operates the Esso Avitat, the team’s arrival point in Ottawa, said he hasn’t seen that many fans line the road outside his business since 2007, when the Senators last made the Stanley Cup final.

Paul Boislard, of Alexandria, Ont., shows off his autographed Sens jersey while waiting for the team to fly in to the Ottawa International Airport.

“2007 was crazy,” he recalled.

Disley knew the team’s homecoming on April 11 would attract fans.

You would have thought the Ottawa Senators were bringing home the Stanley Cup. An estimated 2,000 diehard Sens fans came wearing autographed jerseys and carrying flags attached to hockey sticks, foam fingers and homemade signs, surprising the players, coaches and management with a welcome home victory parade.

Just hours after the Ottawa Senators won 3-1 against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, April 11, earning them spot in the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, throngs of wellwishers lined Comet Private outside the Esso Avitat at the Ottawa International Airport.

“This feels like the Stanley Cup for me,” said Ottawa resident Isaac Layton, who wore a Sens jersey and proudly carried a Senators flag. “I’m so, so, so happy. I feel like we got the Stanley Cup.

“I didn’t think it would be as big as this, but I knew there was going to be people here, win or lose, because (of) just how fantastic the team has been playing the last six weeks,” Disley said.

First out of the hangar was Senators general manager Bry-

an Murray, followed by players who carefully navigated their cars and trucks through the cheering throngs of fans. Some players in the passenger seat filmed the procession on their cellphones, gave a thumb’s up or held out their hands for high-fives.

All wore big smiles.

“The team this year – there’s

a lot of young guys, right. So they’ve never experienced anything like this,” Disley said of the legion of Senators fans who welcomed the team home.

“They’re not used to seeing that when they come in.”

Orléans resident Hélène Humphrey and her two sons joined good friends, Glebe residents and well-known philanthropists Barbara Crook and Dan Greenberg, along the route.

Humphrey and her family watched Saturday’s game against Philadelphia with bated breath.

“It was very, very exciting,” she said. “It was just one of those ‘can’t catch your breath’ moments. It was almost like being in the playoffs.”

Her son, Kyle, who was born with spina bifida, didn’t want to miss the team’s arrival at the airport.

Kyle’s motto is there’s no such thing as can’t, and held a sign echoing this.

“He lives that and he always

Kyle, who has had 94 surgeries, has been bed-ridden for the better part of three years, but was determined to go to the

airport for the team’s arrival.

In 2007, he was in a coma for months, and his mother said it’s because of the Senators that doctors saw signs of life in her son.

“I used to put the earphones on his ears when the Sens were playing and the heart moni-

tor – you could see it go up,” Humphrey said.

During Kyle’s long recuperation period, he felt motivated and buoyed by his passion for the hometown team.

“So they mean a lot to him and our family,” Humphrey said.

Valley Heritage Radiothon ready to roll this Sunday

Ralph Selle and the Douglas Connection are one of the featured bands at Valley Heritage Radio’s Round-Up Dance set for April 26 at the Renfrew Armouries.

Out & Abouts coming to Dunrobin

JASON MARSHALL

For 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, Valley Heritage Radio is on the air.

For seven of those days – beginning this Sunday, April 19 – there is more than great classic music flowing across the airwaves of the communityowned, not-for-profit station.

There is also a clear message for members of the community that their help is needed and appreciated.

“Community memberships and annual donations are crucial to keep Valley Heritage Radio on the air,” said station manager Jason Marshall.

The fundraising membership drive begins Sunday and continues for a week. Volunteers and on-air personalities will be in communities across the Valley Monday through Friday, as part of the annual ‘Out & About’ visits. They’ll be bringing with them local musicians, to make it more of a party atmosphere.

The Out & Abouts this year will include Dunrobin, Almonte, Pembroke, Cobden, Eganville, Arnprior, Griffith, Bryson and Shawville. DJs will be announcing exact locations and times leading up to the event.

“We love getting out to all areas in the Valley, and we know some people want to support Heritage 98-7, but can’t physically make it out to the station,” said Marshall. “So we’re delighted to come to them.”

ottawa COMMUNITY

Also during Radiothon Week, there will be three nights of live music on the Thomas Cavanagh Stage at the station (3009 Burnstown Rd.). April 20 will be a live country show featuring Gord Barnes & Laredo, The McMunn Brothers, Brad Scott and Judi Moffatt April 22 will be Fiddle Night with Dennis Harrington bringing in a stage full of some of the Valley’s top fiddlers.

Don’t miss Friday, April 24 with Concession 23 and Maple Hill bringing you the best in Gospel Bluegrass music from the Valley.

“The live shows at the station are free and we encourage everyone to come out and catch the fever of the Radiothon live and in person,” said Marshall.

The fundraising drive wraps up Sunday, April 26 with the annual Valley Round-Up Dance at the Renfrew Armouries. There will be five hours of live music guaranteed to keep everyone’s toes tapping, and a light lunch. Featured talent includes the Douglas Connection, The Countrymen, and Tony True and the Truetones “It’s a perfect way to wrap up an intense week of fundraising,” said Marshall. “What better way to enjoy a spring Sunday afternoon than with great friends and great music.”

Woven into the week of great music is a pledge drive where members of the community are encouraged to buy or renew

memberships to the station, or make donations, said Marshall.

“We are a non-profit station with more than a hundred volunteers and a handful of paid staff who work tirelessly to keep the station running day in and day out,” said Marshall.

“Our community membership sits at more than 1,800 members and without those supporters and their generosity, we wouldn’t be able to stay on the air.”

Each day throughout the Radiothon, listeners will hear the usual blend of music and the regular shows, but there will be daily messages encouraging the listeners to support the station in any way they can, said Marshall.

“Even with all the volunteer support, it’s still costly to run a radio station,” said Marshall.

“That’s why this Radiothon is so important. We want to be here for our listeners for a long time. We only want to go to the public once a year and ask for their support. Your donations help us do what we do, because we do it for you.”

New to Radiothon this year will be a Mega 50/50 draw.

Ticket sales started April 12 and will end April 26 at the Round-Up Dance. The winner of 50 per cent of the proceeds will be announced live on Heritage 98.7 at 11 a.m. on Monday, April 27.

For more information about the Radiothon, contact the station at 613-432-9873 or 888532-9870 or visit it online at www.valleyheritageradio.ca.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, April 16, 2015 59

Generous donors help make Easter egg hunt a success The annual Easter egg hunt in Constance Bay was once again a success.

There were an estimated 60 to 70 children and lots of eggs.

This year the hunt was held inside the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre as it was still so wet in the grass outside where it is normally located.

As in previous years, the organizers led by David Graham were able to give out some great door prizes such as memberships to Sparks Tae Kwon Do and Goodlife Fitness, gift certificates to local restaurants the Greystone Grill and the Lighthouse, and movie nights from the O’Brien Theater in Arnprior.

As well there were prizes donated by the Constance Bay General Store and Dunrobin Meat and Grocery.

“Our local businesses make this great event even better,” said Graham. “And this year the door prizes were available to any family ! that made a donation to the

JANET LAVERN/SUBMITTED

From left, Ryder and Hunter Sim, Rebecca MacMillan and Payton Muis enjoy the spoils of the hunt. Below, the egg hunt begins with a flurry of activity.

West Carleton Emergency Food Aid. “I’m really happy to make

this a win, win, win event this year: kids got lots of chocolate eggs, families got prizes

and we raised $65 in addition to the food donations for a great organization.”

ACORN demands housing allowance increase for disabled Social justice group wants 20 per cent hike Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

For Ray Noyes, $479 isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough.

The 59-year-old Ottawa resident has been in the Ontario Disability Support Plan since shortly after he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1997.

He had been studying religion at Carleton University when his father committed suicide, pushing him into a deep depression.

The support plan now gives him a housing allowance of $479, and benefits of $619 for basic needs. The rent of his bachelor apartment is currently $600. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The amount they offer for a shelter allowance is well below what people can actually find in terms of housing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an ordinary monthly expense is very hard to deal with.â&#x20AC;?

While his rent has risen over the years, his housing allowance has not kept up. He has had to spend less and less money on

other expenses such as food.

He has worn the same shirts for the last 20 years, and he can only dream of not having to go down to the library every day to check his email, as he has no

Internet access at home.

Where there was once a $60 gap between his rent and the housing allowance, Noyes now faces a $121 hole.

And Noyes isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- known as ACORN --

ALEX ROBINSON/METROLAND

Ray Noyes sits on the Human Rights Monument during an ACORN demonstration to demand a 20 per cent hike in the housing allowance for Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disabled.

held a protest on March 18 at the Human Rights Monument to demand the provincial government raise the housing allowance by 20 per cent. Members of the social justice group said the increase would allow disabled people to live more comfortably without having to dip into income that could be spent on food or other essentials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;$479 just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it,â&#x20AC;? said Blaine Cameron, a Cen-

0

tretown resident who suffers from muscular dystrophy and has not been able to work since 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where can you find rent like that?â&#x20AC;?

He pays $760 for his half of the rent in a two-bedroom apartment. Cameron said he would not be able to cope if he did not have financial support from his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that option,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they have

% FINANCING

to sacrifice their health to pay rent and bills.â&#x20AC;?

A 20 per cent hike in the housing allowance would give Noyes an additional $95 per month, which he said would go a long way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we got the 20 per cent, it would help people a lot,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would still make me $30 short, but having $90 more than I have now - someone in my position can really make it work.â&#x20AC;?

Senior centre hosts Veteran Affairs Patrick Longchamps

patricklongchamps@gmail.com

Deputy veteran affairs minister Walter Natynczyk spoke about inspiration and posttraumatic stress syndrome at the Kanata Senior Centre on March 24.

Natynczyk’s talk covered his background, thoughts on posttraumatic-stress-disorder and past experiences as the chief of defense staff for the Canadian forces. The presentation was given to pay respect to the veterans and the community he lives in.

“I was very proud to be your chief of defense, it was a role that I did not aspire too. I had that hand on my shoulder telling me that they wanted me to do the job and I had a tough time,” said Natynczyk.

His speech addressed his career path: from chief of Defense, to the Canadian Space Agency, and finally to veteran affairs minister.

He mentioned about his reason for coming out of retirement and how Prime Minister Stephen Harper asked him to

“I realized something, retirement is overrated. Before I retired, I asked the government for the job of veterans affairs minister,” said Natynczyk when explaining how confused he was when they wanted to move him into the space agency.

He also spoke about his struggles with post-traumaticstress-disorder along with all the instances that he saw of

it first hand and what he did to help himself and the others around him.

The crowd related with questions about their experiences with the same problem along with some on what measures Natynczyk intends to work on.

A lot of the attendees were impressed and inspired by what they heard during the speech.

“I’ve met him (Natynczyk) before, because of golf and it’s

amazing each time I hear him.

His talks are really good and also interesting because you get to hear someone from the other side, about something I know nothing about,” said retiree Ted Smale.

Before and after the presentation Natynczyk met with every individual member of the crowd, introduced himself and answered any questions that were too sensitive in nature for the rest of the room to hear.

As part of its 2015 speaker series, the North Lanark Historical Society will hold an exhibit and talk on carvings

by Cecil and Shirley Brydges this Sunday, April 19.

The official launch of the exhibit will be held at the North Lanark Regional Museum in Appleton at 2 p.m. with Cecil and Shirley’s daughter, Dianna Brydges Lachappelle, in attendance to make a presentation about the collection.

The exhibit will feature more than 6o carvings belonging to the Brydges’ family.

The Brydges’ carvings on display at the museum in Appleton will represent a wide range of items from maple teacups to animated toys, work horses to mystery boxes, offering a glimpse of a carver “with a perfect eye” for form, shape and replication.

The Brydges were dairy farmers who lived on the 12th line of Ramsay. Cecil started

carving when he gave up milking in 1985 and became one of the founders of the Lanark Woodworking Club.

The group displayed their works at the Almonte fairs and was commissioned to make the commemorative ‘walking sticks’ for the International Plowing Match 2003 hosted

by Carleton Place.

The club’s most famous collective piece is a carved replica of the world-record breaking ‘50 Horse hitch’ of Clydesdales that highlighted the 50th year of the Navan Fair on Aug. 13, 1995. This 16-foot long carving will be on display as part of the exhibit.

The museum board is pleased to have the loan of this item, which has previously been on display at the Canadian National Exhibit and the Calgary Stampede.

For more information, contact the museum at 613-2578503 or visit the website at northlanarkregionalmuseum. com.

Mother’s forgetfulness has entire family on the hunt for photos I could hear Mother rummaging around in the kitchen long before I came down for breakfast.

It didn’t sound like her usual early morning bustle. There were sounds of cupboard drawers opening and closing, dishes scraping on shelves, and I could have sworn I heard the old creton couch being pulled out from the wall. No, this wasn’t the usual sounds of an early morning on the farm.

When I came into the kitchen, Mother was just about as disheveled as I had ever seen her.

She was half way into the baking cupboard, and some flour had fallen out of the big sifter onto her hair. She was beet red in the face and wore a look of frustration and defeat.

“I could have sworn I put those pictures right there,” and she brought the flat of her hand down hard on the porcelain bake surface of the cupboard with a bang.

“Someone has taken them, that is all there is to it. And before any of you go off to school, you are going to help me look for them. I have a letter ready to go to Aunt Freda in Chicago, and I want her to see our rhubarb and flower gardens from last year, and show her what I am about to plant this year. So last summer I took some snaps, and those pictures are going into that letter, and that’s all there

Mary Cook’s Memories Mary Cook

is to it.”

She sure was agitated.

We gobbled down our porridge and Mother dispatched each of us to a different room in the house for the search.

We even looked under beds and between the feather tickings, and in the wood box, and in the pockets of the coats that were hanging on the hooks at the back door.

Father came in from the barns to see all of us on our hands and knees looking under cupboards, chairs and sofas.

“I suppose it would be too much for a man to expect to have his breakfast around here this morning. It looks to me like Mother has gone and lost something again.”

Mother threw him a look like a dagger and moved the fry pan with the sliced potatoes and salt pork from the back of the stove up to the front lid, slamming it as she did so.

“Very strange it is to me,” my mother said. “How those pictures can be here one day and gone the next.”

She was scraping the tea pot around on the stove. Fa-

ther suggested she may have been mistaken about where she left the pictures, “Like the time you said you put your harmonica on the ice box, and we found it on the seat of the Model T,” he offered.

“Those pictures were right there,” she said, and for emphasis she went over to the cupboard and gave the porcelain board another whack.

“Well, there’s nothing more to do about them now,” she said with a big sigh. “But tonight we all search again. I promised those pictures to Aunt Freda, and I will keep her letter over for one more day, but they better turn up this evening.”

I wondered what would happen if they didn’t.

Now, we had a long lane going into our farm from the Northcote side road and our mailbox was out on the road.

Most days, Father drove out in the buggy to fetch the mail, but if he didn’t manage to get out there, we children brought the mail home after school.

We could always tell if there were letters in the box, because the mailman turned it towards the road. That night, the position of the box told us Father had been too busy that day to make it out the lane.

Well, there was a letter from Aunt Freda. We handed the pack of mail in to Mother, who announced that she hadn’t found the pictures and

she just knew someone had moved them from her place of safe-keeping.

She sat down at the kitchen table and opened the letter from our Aunt in Chicago. We heard her cough a few times, which she always did when she was nervous.

“Well, what do you know about that?” she said. “Aunt Freda is thanking me for the pictures I sent last week.

Said she loved the one of you children standing beside the rhubarb patch, and helping me plant the petunias. And

was looking forward to hearing about my spring planting coming up.”

Mother said there was no need to bring up the missing and then suddenly found pictures to father. He had enough on his mind with trying to get the last of the seeding done and all.

It wasn’t to be the last time Mother would mislay something, and have the entire family go in all directions to search for it.

I sat on a chair and pondered the situation. And I wondered

silently how Mother, who was so organized could misplace so much so often, and how a letter would go all the way out to Chicago and an answer come back in less than a week.

Yes, we were certainly living in a miracle age!
