The Constance Bay neighbourhood has been chosen as one of Ottawa’s top five neighbourhoods for real estate value as selected by MoneySense, an online personal finance magazine website. The Constance Bay neighbourhood, which included the Dunrobin, Carp, Huntley and Fitzroy areas for MoneySense, was described as a place where you can feel like you’re always at the cottage and still be only minutes from work. It was noted that Constance Bay is just 20 minutes from the tech cluster in Kanata, and while it was once predominately a cottage area, properties have been converted into four-season homes, many right on the water. The area is described as appealing to the type of person who embraces a recreational lifestyle but does not want to buy in one of Ottawa’s more established waterfront neighbourhoods closer to downtown. The average resale home price for the Constance Bay neighbourhood is given as $361,373.

Funds raised at event for two hospital clinics Continued from page 1
And when it was all said and done, a total of $4,300 had been raised from the record crowd of over 350 men in attendance at this event which packed the Agricultural Hall. The funds will be going to the Ottawa Hospital’s new Rare Disease Clinic which will help those affected with rare diseases and disorders, believed to be some 10,000 people in the area. This fundraising was in addition to a donation of $5,000 which was made to the Ottawa Hospital’s Neuromuscular Disease Clinic. City of Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson was in attendance at the event, admitting in his remarks that he had missed this Men’s Night last year. “Did anything special happen,” he quipped, getting a rise out of the audience as last year’s Men’s Night resulted in a lot of publicity about remarks made by Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren with reference to Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon, remarks which resulted in MacLaren being forced to take sensitivity training. MPP MacLaren was not at this year’s Men’s Night although MP McCrimmon was, working along with other ladies in serving the meal and looking after the bar. Both Mayor Watson and City of
Ottawa West Carleton-March Ward Coun. Eli El-Chantiry acknowledged MP McCrimmon’s presence when they spoke to the audience at the Men’s Night. Mayor Watson also delivered a
couple of humorous zingers in his remarks, such as one about just flying into the Carp Airport on a United Airways flight. In a serious vein, Mayor Watson noted that the Men’s Night was a
great tradition associated with Carp Fair and commented that the Carp Fair really is the best country fair in Canada. In his remarks he also acknowledged the presence at this Men’s Night of Todd Nicholson of Dunrobin, a former member and long time captain of Canada’s sledge hockey team who has recently been named chef de mission for Team Canada at the 2018 Paralympic Games in South Korea. Coun. El-Chantiry, who joked that the mayor had encouraged him to remain as the chair of the Ottawa Police Services Board so that he would not run for mayor, noted that Carp had recently been named as the most friendly village in Canada and that just that week the Constance Bay/Dunrobin area had been identified as having one of the hottest real estate markets in Ottawa. Coun. El-Chantiry took a moment to thank Dr. Roly Armitage, who was in attendance at the Men’s Night, for his service over the years not only as a World War Two veteran but also as mayor of West Carleton. Dan Lord, agriculture president of the Carp Agricultural Society, in his John Curry/Metroland remarks at the Men’s Night, said that City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson (left) and Chad Findlay (right) who it was an event that gave the men of the community an opportunity to get is first vice-president of the Carp Agricultural Society, enjoy a laugh together and catch up on happenings together at the Society’s annual Men’s Night on April 13. and “tell stories.”

He said that the annual Carp Fair only happens thanks to the work and effort of the fair board, area families, friends of the fair and the fair’s many sponsors and exhibitors. He noted that the Carp Agricultural Society had hosted another series of successful euchre tournaments this past spring, attracting a record number of participants. He said that the Carp fairgrounds has been attracting more and more rentals and noted that this summer will see the Carp fairgrounds host drive-in bingos, a car show and a truck and tractor pull. The annual Carp Farmers’ Market will operate at the fairgrounds again this year, starting on May 13. He also noted that a new event that will be held at the fairgrounds this August will be the Capital BBQ Festival. President Lord also joked with MP McCrimmon, suggesting that in light of the recent announcement about legalizing marijuana, perhaps a new hemp class should be added to the fair’s field crops section. He noted that this year the Carp Fair’s slogan is “Canada Proud: Tell Your Story.” President Lord introduced the members of this year’s Carp Fair Board. See FAIR BOARD, page 3

West Carleton native now on the beat for Review By jake davies jake.davies@metroland.com
In 2002, a fresh-faced reporter taking his first journalism job was super-excited to be working for the newspaper that covered his hometown community of West Carleton. In 2017, I’m back and super-excited
to be covering the news for the West Carleton Review. Again. My name is Jake Davies and I have a lot of catching up to do. It has been roughly 11 years since I last covered West Carleton for a living. I was there when former West Carleton mayor and the township’s first City of Ottawa councillor, Dwight
Eastman retired. I covered the subsequent first municipal council election in West Carleton history and the candidates’ campaigns in the newly formed ward in 2003 when restaurateur Eli El-Chantiry defeated retired schoolteacher Adele Muldoon by less than 30 votes.
Please Be Seated
CUSTOM COVER EVENT
Long before he was the landowners’ association president and then a Conservative MPP, I profiled Jack MacLaren on his farm in MacLaren’s landing when he was named the 2002 West Carleton Volunteer of the Year. We drank lemonade on his veranda. A metric tonne has changed in West Carleton since then and for me as well. Since 2005, I have worked at eight other newspapers as either a reporter, photographer, graphic designer or editor or combination of all four; I have worked in radio at two different stations; I have worked in communications for Renfrew County’s public school board; and I have consulted on media and communications issues. But now I am back in the community I grew up in, where I went to elementary school (the now closed
Fitzroy Centennial Public School in Kinburn), where I spent every single fall heading to the Carp Fair and every single winter playing hockey, where my dad still lives on the farm I spent summers working at, despite my aversion to horses and healthy dislike of haying. I am truly glad to be back, although I never really left. I still, occasionally, do hay on the farm, I still play shinny in the winter months in Galetta – the best outdoor rink in Ottawa, and I still try to keep abreast of the news and newsmakers of West Carleton. I know first hand how important the West Carleton Review is to its community, and I know first hand how passionate the community is about West Carleton. I hope I can provide the stories you are interested in and I look forward to meeting all of you.

The Wizard of Oz at Venta School by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion all came alive on stage at the Venta Preparatory School in Carp on April 12. It was a school presentation of The Wizard of Oz, best known as a 1939 musical film starring Judy Garland and adapted from the 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum. The story, as told in the 16 scenes of John Curry/Metroland the hour-long play, tells how the young Dorothy (centre), played by Emmy-Rayne Clare, is surrounded by new-found friends as she begins to make Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto are her way along the “Yellow Brick Road” to the Emerald City in the musical The Wizard of Oz at the Venta swept by a storm to Munchkinland in Preparatory School at Carp on April 12. the Land of Oz, where Dorothy meets up with Scarecrow who wants a brain, the Tin Man who desires a heart, and the Cowardly Lion who is in need of courage. They all travel along the yellow brick road to see the Wizard of Oz in the Emerald City. The Venta performance included numerous musical numbers for which the play is known, such as Over the Rainbow — which won an Academy Award for best original song — Yellow Brick Road, We’re Off To See the Wizard, If I Only Had A Heart, and more. In the end, of course, Dorothy gets back to Kansas, Scarecrow receives a degree in “thinkology,” Tin Man receives a heart and the Cowardly Lion
gets a medal of courage. This Venta production featured costumes and sets which easily convinced the audience that this was an adventure happening in the Land of Oz, rather than on a stage of this Carp area school. Glinda the Good Witch looked truly regal in her costume, while the other costumes — from the trees of the Haunted Forest, to the munchkins in Munchkinland, to the Wicked Witch of the West — all helped transform the stage into the setting for this famous musical. And who can forget the cow who twisted across the stage with the howling winds of the tornado which carried Dorothy away from Kansas to the Land of Oz? The sets also added to the atmosphere of the musical, from the wagon with a broken wheel in an opening scene featuring Kansas farm workers Hickory, Hunk and Zeke; to the gates of the Emerald City; to the Wizard of Oz’s chamber at the Emerald City. Two students played the role of Dorothy Gale in this Venta Preparatory School production, one portraying Dorothy in Kansas while the other was Dorothy in the Land of Oz. Isabelle Brown was the Kansas Dorothy while Emmy-Rayne Clare was the Dorothy in the Land of Oz. See CAST, page 7

OPINION
Connected to your community
Sens fever has struck! S pring has sprung, at last, and with it comes spring fever, the Ottawa Senators version – you know, the fever that turns you red, raises your voice and otherwise turns you into a rabid fan. Sens flags start appearing everywhere. The Red Mile along Elgin Street comes to life as those afflicted with “the fever” flock there not in search of any cure but in search of the camaraderie and contact with others that this fever craves. And the fever seems to loosen tongues so you hear everyone – on the bus, around the water cooler, at the bar, around the kitchen table – talking Sens hockey. Erik Karlsson is the best defenceman in the National Hockey League, some say. No, Karlsson is the best player in the whole world, others counter. And that Clarke MacArthur – boy, what a story it would be when he sparks the team to the Stanley Cup. And what about that Derick Brassard. He has flourished in the Stanley Cup playoffs before and that is why the Sens got him in the first place. Sens goalies Craig Anderson and Mike Condon are great stories – Anderson supporting his wife
Nicholle in her battle with cancer and Condon showing he is one solid goalie when other teams gave him a pass. There’s just so much to talk about these Sens of ours. But then, that’s the fever, isn’t it! Even the smallest of things can affect the fever and make it go viral. Case in point – Marc Methot’s finger. Imagine that, a little pinky playing a role in a Stanley Cup playoff series. Who would have guessed? But this is what “the fever” can and does do. And, you know what – in a world that at times seems so dangerous and unpredictable with terrorists, chemical warfare, famine and eccentric leaders, it is refreshing and relaxing in a way to be affected with Sens fever. You can be passionate and cheer heartily and, at the end of the day, you get to enjoy the victories and lament the losses and know that, Stanley Cup or not, there will be only good times all along the way. There is, thankfully, no vaccine or antidote for Sens fever. We should be so glad of that. Hopefully this year it’s going to be a long, long fever season, lasting for weeks and weeks. Go, Sens, go!
Time to get outside, despite lure of hockey playoffs
P
eople walked out of their houses on the first warm day and looked around. A guy saw a neighbour. Hadn’t seen him since the snow fell. The neighbour was looking up at his roof. Hadn’t seen the roof since the snow fell. The guy looked up at his own roof. It looked all right, and it was nice to be able to see the roof with no snow on it. And it was nice to talk to neighbours. They talked about roofs, about water in the basement, about the house for sale down the street. Were they going to knock it down? If so, that meant months of construction on the street. Neighbours talked, of course, about the Stanley Cup playoffs, a nice easy topic, and a safe one, unless the neighbour was a Leafs fan. Then it would be a short conversation.
spring, when the seasons have changed for the better. Down the street a guy was hacking at a chunk of snow beside the driveway, breaking it into pieces Funny Town and shovelling them out onto the road. That seemed crazy. The sun was warm and it would, pretty quickly, melt all that snow and save But at least a conversation. the guy some work. In Charlotte, North Carolina, But he probably wanted to get at and Nairobi, Kenya, and even it.

was pleasant. The park was mostly puddles and mud but the baseball gloves would be out there any day now and the dogs would have to share the space with running kids. Usually that worked out. The only problem with getting at it was that the TV was getting at it too. The TV had big golf tournaments, hockey and basketball playoffs and the beginning of the baseball season. The change of seasons is a also miraculous time for people who want to delay getting at it. That includes getting at the income tax, perhaps the least likeable sign of the changing season, along with last year’s dog poop.

A ghost story that’s funny - don’t miss it! Special to the Review
Everybody likes a ghost story and when the ghost story is also funny, that’s a real hit! And that’s why the upcoming production of Ghost of a Chance being presented by the Rural Root Theatre Company at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre is a must-see for everyone because it’s a fast paced roller-coaster comedy that revolves around a ghost.
This spring production of the Rural Root Theatre Company, a comedy by Flip Koble and Cindy Marcus, will be presented from Tuesday, May 2 to Saturday, May 6 with a curtain time of 7:30 p.m. each evening. In addition, there will be a matinee preview show on Sunday, April 30 at 2 p.m. Directed by Valerie Jorgensen, Ghost of a Chance will keep the audience guessing about who can see the ghost and who can’t and may also
have the audience wondering why is Chance lingering around between this world and the hereafter anyway. In Ghost of a Chance, Bethany is a bright, strong, independent and beautiful woman who has no self esteem. She has taken her fiancée, Floyd, and his mother Verna up to her cabin in the woods which just happened to be the site of the hunting accident that killed her first husband, Chance. But, much to her consternation, Chance,
or rather his ghost, is still there. To add to the wacky happenings, there’s a “moonchild” clairvoyant engaged to help Bethany escape Chance’s ghostly efforts to stay in her life. All in all, this comedy will give new
meaning for you to the expression Follow the money. Tickets for Ghost of a Chance are $15 each both online at http://ruralroot.org/tickets/ or by phone at 613618-9789.

The monthly Men’s Ministry breakfast, which is usually held in Fitzroy Harbour, changed location for its April meeting. The site was changed to St. Thomas Anglican Church at Woodlawn where about 20 men enjoyed breakfast and fellowship and then heard a presentation about the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Six visitors from the community joined the Men’s Ministry group for this presentation. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank is working toward a world without hunger. Some of the highlights of the presentation which was made by Melody Mendonca and David Epp of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank were: 794 million people in the world or one in nine endure hunger; investing in aid to help small scale farmers is an effective use of tax dollars as many of the hungry in the world are such farmers; and benefits to investing in small scale farmers and farms are enhancement of nutrition, boosting of economy, empowering women and benefitting the environment. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank allocated 60 to 70 per cent of its budget to providing aid around the world while another 25 per cent goes to teaching others about good farming methods. In addition, five per cent of its budget goes to publicity and advocacy. One of its advocacy campaigns is encouraging foreign aid in support of small scale farmers. It was pointed out that one way to advocate for fighting hunger in the world is to communicate with members of Parliament on the issue. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank provided
assistance to more than 1 million people in 40 countries in 2015-16. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank provides food in times of crisis for hungry people in the developing world. It also helps people grow more food to better feed themselves and their families and also provides nutritional support to malnourished people with a focus on pregnant and breastfeeding mothers and young children. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank also advocates for aid that will enable families and communities to better feed themselves and tries to educate Canadians about global hunger. It was in 1976 in the face of growing world food emergencies that the Mennonite Central Committee created a pilot project to allow Canadian grain farmers to share their harvest with those less fortunate around the world. In 1983 the project was reorganized and opened up to other church agencies, being reestablished as the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. In 1984, this newly established Canadian Foodgrains Bank was able to help significantly in fighting a famine in Ethiopia. Today, 15 church agencies, representing 30 denominations with more than 17,000 congregations involved, make up the membership of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Next month the Men’s Ministry will be touring the Diefenbunker at Carp. Then, in June, the Men’s Ministry will hear a presentation by Dr. Barry Bruce about heartrelated issues. In August, the Men’s Ministry will enjoy a summer barbecue at a retreat in the Pakenham hills.

Parent Council selling rain barrels Special to the Review
Last summer was a dry one, and with the climate change that is happening, this summer may be an equally dry one. One way to combat such dry conditions is by having
a rain barrel, and with this in mind, the Parent Council at Huntley Centennial Public School has decided to hold a rain barrel sale. The Parent Council is even going to purchase one for the school’s gardening club. The Huntley Centennial
Public School Parent Council has partnered with RainBarrel.ca for this rain barrel fundraiser. The rain barrels are being sold for $55 each. Each barrel will come with a leaf and mosquito
filter basket, an overflow adapter, a spigot and an overflow hose. These rain barrels must be preordered online at www.RainBarrel.ca/huntley prior to Thursday, April 27. These preordered rain
barrels will be available for pick up on Saturday, May 6 at the Carp outdoor rink at 108 Juanita Ave. For more information about the rain barrel sale, please email creannpieroni@yahoo.com.

The West Carleton Food Access Centre is West Carleton’s food bank, providing supplies, including fresh food when available, to residents of in need of help. Donations of non-perishable food items are always welcome, as are monetary donations. The centre, formerly known as the West Carleton Emergency Food Aid, was established in 1995. Mary Braun is the chair, with Sharon Roper serving as the vice-chair. The West Carleton Food Access Centre moved to the West Carleton Community Complex at the corner of

Other neighbourhoods that made the top-five neighbourhoods in Ottawa for real estate value include Carleton Square, cited for its proximity to Carleton University, downtown and Mooney’s Bay with an average resale house price of $246,125. Fringewood Village in Stittsville, described as a relatively small subdivision that is not fancy but has bungalow homes available for under $300,000 on good-sized lots with the amenities of Kanata close by, and average resale house price given as $243,889. Ottawa East, with a similar makeup to the Glebe neighbourhood but it not yet as prestigious, has restaurants within walking distance and properties range from wartime-era homes to larger historical homes closer to the Rideau Canal. Homes are as much as $100,000 less than in the Glebe and average resale house price is given as $596,507. Plantagenet, including Rockland and Russell, may not be ideal for a commuter to Ottawa but ideal for someone looking for value and wants to be in the greater Ottawa area. It’s a country setting that may have some upside in the potential for future price appreciation. The average resale house price is given as $211,788.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Firefighters on the Hill I had the pleasure of meeting with representatives of the Ottawa Professional Firefighters Association, representing the 950 professional firefighters from Kanata-Carleton. We discussed many issues include, firefighter safety and the creation of a National Action Plan on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder for First Responders. It is important to recognize the tremendous work performed by Firefighters, and indeed all first responders, every day.
Top 20 Women in Defence I was humbled to be included in this year’s Esprit de Corps Magazine’s Top 20 Women in Defence. Although House votes prevented me from attending the “Breaking Down the Barricades” reception, it was amazing to read the profiles of the female role models from the defense and security industry who were recognized.

I had a productive meeting with Councillor El-Chantiry, Chris Cope of the City of Ottawa, and stakeholders in the telecom industry to discuss the viability of extending the high speed internet capabilities to the rural regions of our riding. It is clear that all Constituents in the Riding, indeed all Canadians, require access to this important capability. I have been speaking with local providers about the “Connect to Innovate” program, that will invest up to $500 million by 2021 to help ensure that 300 rural and remote communities in Canada are better positioned to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by the digital age.
Vaisakhi I had the pleasure of attending Parliament Hill’s celebration of Vaisakhi with a number of Sikh community leaders. This past week, Sikhs in Canada and around the world will mark Vaisakhi, the holiest day in the Sikh faith. During this harvest festival, Sikhs will gather in prayer and song, take part in religious processions, and share meals together. It was a great opportunity to share the celebration with my colleagues and the many constituents from Kanata-Carleton who attended the event.
Malala – our new Honorary Canadian Today, I was honoured to attend the address from Malala Yousafzai as she became an honorary citizen of Canada. Her courage and determination to end gender-based violence and achieve gender equality is truly inspirational. As the youngest person to ever address the Parliament of Canada, Malala embodies the diversity and commitment to equality that is at the core of our Canadian values. Her advocacy and dedication has changed the world forever, inspiring both world leaders and future generations of young leaders. On this historic day, I am honoured to welcome Malala as an honorary citizen of this great country.

Happy Passover and Easter! This year Passover and Easter coincide. These two ancient holidays are at the centre of Judaism and Christianity. In different ways, both holidays commemorate deliverance from bondage and oppression. The story of the exodus from Egypt and the death and resurrection of Christ have inspired us for thousands of years. It’s fitting that both Passover and Easter are synchronized. But we are doubly luckily because, this spring, both eastern and western Easters also coincide. At this time of year, people will be looking forward to spending time with their families and observing their ancient traditions. We are blessed to be able to do so in a free and tolerant society. So I’m very pleased to wish everyone a very happy Passover and Easter!

Actors visit WCSS, act out scenes from Romeo and Juliet Students learn about local Rural Root Theatre Company
It’s paraphrasing but it fits. special to the review Late in March, two Grade 10 “Two classes, both alike in classes at West Carleton Secondary School in Dunrobin dignity, "In fair West Carleton, where were treated to a visit by several actors from Rural Root Theatre we lay our scene”
Company. They had all come together to look at Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. “Shakespeare is a playwright and he lived and breathed theatre,” said Valerie Jorgensen,
children and teens programmer for the Carp branch of the Ottawa Public Library. With that in mind, Jorgensen, along with Ian Glen, and Helen and Martin Weeden of Rural Root Theatre Company, talked to students about their experiences in theatre as actors, directors, writers and producers. After talking about theatre in Elizabethan times, the group
donned Shakespearean hats and, with student volunteers from Sarah Booth’s and Gavin McOnie’s classes, acted out several scenes from Shakespeare’s tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet. “Although a lot of the words may seem strange, the students had a good grasp of who’s who and what’s going on,” said Jorgensen. “The essential feelings
of love, hate, power and revenge are universal.” “Since Shakespeare’s plays are meant to be seen and not just read, it was really enjoyable for the students to see local actors dressed up and adding the performance aspect to the play,” teacher Sarah Booth commented. See RURAL ROOT, page 18

and Reconciliation and the lieutenant governor of Ontario Elizabeth Dowdeswell at a ceremony at Queen’s Park in Toronto on Wednesday, April 12. She and the other award recipients were hosted in Toronto by Ry Moran, the director of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, and his team. There were dinners, a trip to the CN Tower and, of course, the Queen’s Park awards ceremony with the lieutenant governor. Emma says that the whole experience was a lot of fun. “They made us feel like we really had a voice,” she notes, adding that she met some great young people from across Ontario, ranging from Toronto and Sudbury to Big Trout Lake First Nation which is a northern fly-in community. “I learned a lot from them and their artistic entries, experience and perspectives,” Emma writes in an email. Emma also enjoyed the opportunity to see Queen’s Park, the home of Ontario’s legislature, including the building, its architecture and portraits of former politicians. She learned how things work at the legislature and had the honour of meeting the lieutenant governor herself. Emma’s award winning story, which was called Speak the Truth, outlined the story of a residential school survivor who now travels around to schools to tell her story. In the story, a young student comes to the realization that he must also play his part in helping First Nations people heal by sharing and talking about their stories. Emma got the idea for her story after attending the National Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s closing ceremony in Ottawa in 2015 as a representative of her school along with a couple of other students. She was moved by what she heard from survi-
vors’ accounts that day and returned home with a sense of obligation to share what she had learned. Emma is an avid reader and it was from this love of reading that she began writing and entering various literary competitions. Her story The Great Fire of 1918 which was based on the true story of her great great grandmother’s family having survived a devastating fire in northern Ontario was published in a youth anthology Potpourri through the Ottawa Public Library’s Awesome Author awards program a couple of years ago. In 2015, Emma won a youth short story contest organized by Annotations, an organization founded by Anne Mokros in 2002. Emma’s short story, entitled The Island, told about being rescued by a helicopter after being stranded on an island for three and a half years.

“It was a great opportunity to bring together the community resources of Rural Root Theatre Company and the Ottawa Public Library for the West Carleton students,” said Jorgensen. “And students can contact the theatre and the library about working their high school volunteer hours.” “Many of the students are from the rural surrounding areas; therefore, it was great for them to learn about the local theatre and how to get involved,” added Ms. Booth.
The students were also enthused about the variety of modern books inspired by Shakespeare, including YOLO Juliet (using texting and emoticons), Romeo and Juliet in graphic novel form and Shakespeare’s Star Wars (Star Wars story written in iambic pentameter). Rural Root Theatre Company’s next production, directed by Valerie Jorgensen, is Ghost of a Chance, a comedy which runs from April 30 to May 6 at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre.

FLOOR PLAN April 2017
Now that winter’s freeze has loosened its grip on us, it’s time to turn our thoughts to more springlike endeavours. While the last of the snow still hangs on in spots, the signs of rebirth are all around: the birds are chirping loudly, the first daffodils are peeking from the ground and backyard barbecues have emerged from hibernation. So what better time than now to start looking for that new home? Maybe you’re the head of a young family looking for that new residence near schools and other amenities. Or you’re simply looking to expand your living space, growing out of a tight townhouse to a singledetached home with more property to call your own? As we’ve mentioned before in this space, Ottawans are fortunate to live in a community many of Canada’s best builders call home. With that in mind, there is no shortage of newhome options available across the city. But where do you turn to get your search started? That’s where we come in. Welcome again to Floor Plan, a monthly supplement found in your Metroland community newspaper. Throughout these pages, you’ll find information on some of the latest designs brought forward by the most innovative builders in Canada. Whether it’s the hottest trends you’re after or a touch of tradition, Floor Plan gives you the information you need to make an informed decision. And be sure to check out our next edition of Floor Plan in our May 18, 2017 Metroland newspapers.
STEP BY STEP: Organize your garage and open up space Steps to a more organized, functional garage Organization can help homeowners transform their homes into less cramped, more spacious oases without forcing them to finance potentially expensive expansion projects. Homeowners who park in their driveways may find that their garages have become crowded, cluttered spaces in which searching for tools can feel like scouring a haystack in search of a needle. Organizing a garage can create extra room in a home while affording homeowners the chance to protect their vehicles from the elements. Homeowners who want to turn their garages into something more than cluttered storage units can employ the following strategies to transform these largely overlooked areas into more valuable spaces.
• Host a garage sale. Homeowners who want to organize their garages and make a buck at the same time can host garage sales. Make only those items that are still functional available for purchase, and let neighbors and bargain hunters do the bulk of your organization work for you. • Designate areas of the garage for certain items. Once the items that won’t be going back into the garage have been sold, donated or discarded, organize the garage by designating areas for certain items, making sure to separate items that can pose safety risks. For example, store kids’ bicycles and outdoor toys in a corner of the garage that is opposite the
corner where potentially dangerous items such as power tools and gas cans will be stored. Keep the center of the garage open for vehicles. • Periodically park cars in the garage. Homeowners who are comfortable parking their vehicles in their driveways can improve their chances of maintaining organized garages over the long haul by periodically parking in the garage. Doing so not only prevents the gradual buildup of clutter that can slowly take over a garage, but also protects homeowners’ automotive investments. Maintaining an organized garage can help homeowners make more practical use of the space in their homes.
Ready to work
• Choose the right day. Garages tend to be separate from the rest of the homes they’re a part of, meaning the only way to organize a garage is to first remove all items from the garage and into the driveway. Because items removed from the garage will be exposed to the elements, homeowners should choose a day that’s temperate and sunny to clean their garages. If possible, homeowners should opt to organize their garages in late spring, summer or early fall when there are additional hours of daylight. This protects homeowners from having to work in the dark should the job take longer than they initially anticipated. • Discard or donate duplicate items. Duplicate items are some of the main culprits behind cluttered garages. As garages gradually become more cluttered, homeowners may buy tools they already have simply because they cannot find their original tools. When organizing the garage, create separate piles for duplicate tools, placing still-useful items in a pile that can be donated to neighbors, local charities or organizations and another pile for old tools that are no longer useful.

Bring the GREEN indoors: Houseplants can clEaN iNdooR aiR Gardening is a rewarding hobby that can pay a host of dividends, both for the planet and the people doing the gardening. Healthy plant life can help clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and various air pollutants, while the act of gardening can help gardeners combat stress. Published in 2011 in the Journal of Health Psychology, a study from researchers in the Netherlands found that gardening promotes relief from acute stress. In the study, two groups of participants were asked to complete a stressful task and then instructed to either read indoors or garden outdoors for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the latter group had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and even reported being in a better mood than the group instructed to read indoors. But gardening does more than just provide gardeners with a reason to spend some time relaxing outdoors in an effort to relieve stress. Gardeners who raise certain plants may be able to bring those benefits with them when going inside as well. According to an article published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives in October 2011, houseplants can work wonders when it comes to improving overall health, removing toxins from air, soil and water by metabolizing some toxic chemicals and releasing harmless byproducts while sequestering such toxins by incorporating them into plant tissues.
Breathe easy
Clean indoor air is important for everyone, but especially so for those people who suffer from respiratory ailments like asthma. In fact, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology considers indoor air filtration an essential part of any strategy to improve respiratory health. But filtration systems and air purifiers are often not enough, and those who want the air in their homes to be as clean as possible may benefit from introducing certain houseplants into their homes. The following are a handful of plants that can help to improve indoor air quality. • Aloe vera: Aloe vera might be most often associated with hand creams and hand soaps, but the aloe vera plant, a succulent that even novice gardeners should have no problem
growing, can clear indoor air of formaldehyde and benzene, two common byproducts of chemical-based cleaners many people use in their homes. • Spider plant: Spider plants are resilient, and that makes them great houseplants for busy men and women who tend to be forgetful when caring for their plants. In addition, spider plants are pet-friendly and can be used to combat benzene, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and xylene. • English ivy: NASA researchers exploring the possibilities of long-term space habitation found that certain houseplants were more effective at cleaning air inside energy-efficient, nonventilated buildings than others. One such plant was
RiNG iN THE spRiNG with a new bistro set Take a table, add two chairs and voilà: you’ve got yourself a bistro set. Specially designed for outdoor use, a bistro set allows you to soak up the sun and feel the fresh air from the comfort of your balcony or patio. Either on your own or with a friend, it’s finally time to savour the arrival of spring, fresh lemonade or soothing tea in hand.
Materials
Patio bistro sets need to withstand the fading, rust and mould that all outdoor furniture is subjected to. They’re usually built out of one of the following: • Steel 4 Floor Plan - Thursday, April 20, 2017

• Glass
Designed to combine functionality, durability and elegance, bistro sets are available in a variety of styles (rustic, urban, minimalist, etc.) to fit every homeowner’s needs. Before you head to the stores, however, make sure to properly measure the space where you intend to set up your furniture. It would be a shame to find the perfect ensemble, only to realize that it doesn’t fit on your balcony.
English ivy, which can effectively combat the formaldehyde found in certain household cleaning products. • Bamboo palm: Bamboo palms also found their way onto NASA’s list. Bamboo palm plants thrive indoors, where they are especially effective at filtering out the chemicals benzene and trichloroethylene.
Relax
Gardening has been proven to be a soothing hobby that can help gardeners reduce stress. But the health benefits of gardening can extend indoors as well.

Only 52 townhomes were offered in this exclusive community. “Our brand-new designs have amazing curb appeal with full brick fronts accented with French balconies,” says Phoenix Homes Vice-President Rahul Kochar. There’s still time to enjoy a new townhome and all the amenities in this stunning community— the YMCA, Shenkman Arts Centre, Medical/Dental offices and Major OC Transpo stations are all within walking distance. “We have just opened the “Highland Corner” model townhome at 500 De La Recolte Private in the townhome portion of the community.” Hillside Vista borders on a thriving urban area with more than 20 restaurants to choose from, near Place D’Orleans Shopping Centre and a wide range of grocery stores, as well as schools and churches. And when it comes to recreation, check out Complexe recreatif Ray Friel Recreation Complex or nearby White Sands Golf Course & Practice Centre, Orleans Bowling Centre, Millenium Sport Park, Innes Road Golfland, Landmark Cinemas and other area attractions. Stop in to the sales office 500 De La Recolte Private, Orléans, or check www.Phoenixhomes.ca to learn more about the townhouses still available. But don’t wait long, they will be gone! Coming soon…Hillside Vista Condo Flats Shortly to be released at Hillside Vista, Phoenix Homes is proud to unveil their latest design in executive style condo flats. Equipped with elevators and climate controlled, convenient underground parking, the five buildings with 18 units each, 90 units in total, are the center of a phased-in condominium community plan. Condo flats will start in the low $200,000’s, reflecting the latest in affordable design and high quality construction. The condo flats at Hillside Vista are three storeys, with six units per floor. They feature one or two large carpeted bedrooms with an ensuite bathroom off the master, bright and spacious open concept living room/ dining room with hardwood floors, large kitchen with island, a den and laundry/utility room. Each unit will have one parking space in the garage, with additional outside space available for purchase. All but two units per building will have spacious private balconies, and corner units have unique balconies with panoramic views. Central air is included in all units and appliances will be included for a limited number of first units sold. Condo flats offer convenient, single floor living complete with in-unit laundry, ideal for someone looking for a very cost effective alternative to bungalow living. “Hillside Vista Flats are very affordable and have the benefit of a heated garage and elevator access that you would pay much more for in a larger condominium building. You also have a more intimate living scenario with a chance to really get to know your neighbour.” The Hillside Vista community features a community park including gazebo and picnic area, all only
minutes away from a wide array of restaurants and shopping, recreation facilities, trails and more. “There are plenty of options through our design centre for people to choose their own style and level of final finishing. Owners will get to pick all of their finishings and the standard specifications are very impressive.” “Our new Virtual Reality software will allow people to walk through these units when it is released in the coming months.” Rahul Kochar and Phoenix Homes is proud to be on the threshold of opening the door to a new future in home design.
“Ottawa home design is really starting to get exciting,” he said. “It is changing faster than ever before, fueled by a new generation of buyers.” The DCR/Phoenix Group of Companies is proud of the major role it has played since 1988, shaping the face of Canada’s Capital through its numerous innovative housing, commercial, and land development projects, and plans to continue this tradition of quality well into the future. Check out www.Phoenixhomes.ca for the latest information on the remaining townhomes as well as to register for information on the upcoming Flats.

Things to consider before DOWNSIZING your home The decision to downsize a home is often bittersweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled with memories, but downsizing a home helps couples save more money, and that financial flexibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement. But in spite of the financial impact of
Real estate market
The real estate market can be a seller’s friend or foe. Many sellers have a sale price in mind when they decide to sell their home, but the real estate market can be fickle, so homeowners should do their research before putting their home up for sale.
When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples realize their current furniture is unlikely to fit into a smaller home. That means couples will have to sell or donate their current furniture and then buy all new items for their new home. If it’s been a while since you purchased new furniture, you might be in for some sticker shock on your first visit to the furniture store. Another thing to consider regarding your furniture is which items you simply can’t live without.
When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cities or towns with more ready access to culture and restaurants. While that accessibility is great, grandparents may find that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren. That’s a steep price to pay for doting grandparents, and it may also impact your children if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Before downsizing, consider if you’re willing to move further away from your family.

An antique dinner table might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays over the last several decades, but there’s no guarantee it will fit into your smaller home. You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that’s only possible if he or she has the room for it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attachment to certain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you’re left with no other options.
Furniture
downsizing a home, there’s more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The following are a handful of factors homeowners should consider before downsizing to a smaller home.
M O V E
• • • • • •
Will the current market make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes in your area selling? When studying the real estate market, it’s also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market is not flush with properties, you might end up paying more than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from downsizing.

Ward 5 West Carleton-March Money Sense Magazine names Constance Bay first in Ottawa Money Sense Magazine’s recent survey on “Where to Buy Now” recently picked Ottawa’s top five neighbourhoods for real estate markets for buyers. In top spot is Constance Bay. According to the Money Sense survey: “Constance Bay is one of the rare places where homeowners can feel like they’re at the cottage while just 20 minutes from Kanata’s high-tech cluster, the magazine concluded after consulting with Kris Sherry of Re/Max Hallmark Realty Group. It will appeal to people who enjoy life on the water without the hefty price tag of waterfront closer to downtown.” The other four neighbourhoods in Ottawa that rounded out the list were Carleton Square, Fringewood, Ottawa East and Plantagenet. Go to moneysense.ca for more details. Riddell Drive renamed Cameron Harvey Drive In memory of Ward 5 resident Cam Harvey, I would like to inform residents that Riddell Drive (in Dunrobin) has been officially renamed Cameron Harvey Drive. Speeding on our roads My office is receiving calls from residents with concerns about speeding on our roads.As mentioned in previous columns, residents need to contact the police directly at 613-236-1222 ext. 7300. All complaints received by the police are entered into their system and tracked. This allows them to monitor and identify problem areas, so that enforcement may be assessed. Please be aware and slow down. With spring weather upon us, pedestrians, motorcycles, bicycles and children will be out and about on our roads. “Slow Down for Us” signage If speeding is a concern in your community, you may want to consider installing a “Slow Down for Us” sign on your lawn to warn passing motorists to follow the speed limits and watch out for children. If you would like one for your lawn, please stop by my ward office – we have a small supply on hand. Rural Root Theatres’ Spring Production Rural Root Theatre’s spring production, “Ghost of a Chance,” will run from May 3 to 6 at 7:30pm and a matinee on April 30 at 2pm at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased via ruralroot.org. If you haven’t been to a Rural Root production yet, I highly recommend you attend. It’s a great evening out and their productions are always very entertaining. 30 West Carleton Review - Thursday, April 20, 2017
Along the trail with Macnamara by michael Runtz
A century ago there lived a man in Arnprior whose name should be, but sadly isn’t, a household name in Canada. Charles Macnamara was the secretary-treasurer for the McLachlin Bros. Lumber Company and his fame should have arisen not only from his 46-year tenure with that company but also from what he accomplished outside of it. Macnamara was a pioneer of photography and natural history studies. His black and white photographs beautifully
documented the early lumber industry. Men risking their lives to untangle logjams, horses hauling giant timbers through wintry landscapes – many of the finest records of that important part of early Canadian history are his. Charles Macnamara also turned his discerning eye and camera toward nature. Every Sunday, his one day off work, Macnamara would walk from his Daniel Street home in Arnprior to his log cabin in Marshall Bay. His weekly sojourns were recorded in diaries lavishly illustrated with photographs ranging from abstract rock formations to rare ferns clinging to rocky escarpments and tiny insects inhabiting the soil. The latter, along with portraits of other insects and spiders, are among the finest examples of macro photography of that period. The Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives houses many of Macnamara’s photographs and other personal items. Orchids were of particular interest and Macnamara produced an unpublished book documenting more than 20 species, including several that are currently rare. As a young man it became a passion of mine to relocate his finds, which were made primarily between Arnprior and Marshall Bay but also ranged from Braeside to White Lake. I did find many, including the rare Rams’shead Lady’s-slipper near
Michael Runtz
One of Macnamara’s favourite orchids was the Showy Lady’sslipper (left) while the Mourning Cloak (right), a dormant bufferfly in winter, can be seen now along Macnamara Trail. Braeside and the elusive Showy Orchis in the Nopiming Game Sanctuary on the east end of Arnprior. The Nopiming, one of Macnamara’s greatest achievements, is one of the few provincial Crown Game Preserves involving private land. Established in 1920, one of the reasons for its designation was the presence of a beaver colony near Marshall Bay. At that time, beavers were bordering on extinction, and the Royal Ontario Museum commissioned Macnamara to write a book on that colony. Unfortunately it was never published. Currently, a fantastic interpretive trail, the Macnamara Trail meanders through the Sanctuary. The four-kilometre trail, which passes through forests, fords streams, and visits a marsh (courtesy of the current landowner, Nylene Canada Inc.), was built and is main-
tained by the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club, of which I am president. Excitingly, a trail extension to allow users to explore the marsh close-up is in the works. To raise funds for this extension, the club is hosting an event April 28 at the St. John Chrysostom Hall in Arnprior. My good friend and noted historian, Rory MacKay, will speak about the early lumber industry in the Ottawa Valley, and I will talk about the changes it brought to local flora and fauna. Tickets are only $15 in advance ($10 for youth) or $20 at the door. In addition to the two highly visual presentations, there will be various displays and door prizes. Please see mfnc.ca for more details. I hope to see many of you there, and on the MacnamaraTrail! The Nature email is mruntz@ start.ca

(December 09, 1922 - April 06, 2017) Carmel Roy passed away peacefully in the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital in her 95th year. Beloved wife, partner and best friend, she is survived by her husband of almost 69 years, Dr. Wilfred A. Roy. Daughter of John Lester Blair and Adelaide Cuddie, she shared her fond memories of growing up on the family farm on the banks of the Rideau River. Carmel is predeceased by her siblings; Jean, Charles, May, Winnifred and John (Jack). Cherished mother of Heather (Jean Dore), Wilfred (Jane) and Robert. Loving grandma to Robin (Stacie) Langtry, Angela Langtry (Matt Ballantyne), Charles (Jing) Roy and Jerry (Michelle) Roy. Proud great-grandmother of Benham and Gwen Langtry and Marie Roy.

Mary was very careful about what went on her plate
T
he spring melt had caused the Bonnechere to overflow its banks and even the little creek that ran below the west hill was flooding its shores. My three brothers checked the water levels every day, pitch forks at the ready. The first sign of a mud pout, swimming close to the surface, meant our suppers would soon include the ugly fish, which would just about turn my stomach when I looked at them, either alive or on a platter in the middle of the table. I always said a silent prayer of thanks when either mud pout or blood pudding was on the supper table. Thanks to that Mother, knowing how much I hated both, let me have either dinner leftovers, or a couple hard-boiled eggs and toast. And if my stomach was particularly squeamish, as it was prone to be, I was allowed to have my supper at the bake table, away from where my brother Emerson could contribute to my misery by smacking his lips with every bite, and putting his face as close FOR SALE

every meal was more than ample. There was always racks of meat hanging in the smoke house, with more canned in jars in the cellar. And of course, every Sunday we had roast chicken, goose, or duck. Links of homemade sausages, smoked slabs of bacon, and head cheese (which became another one of my most hated foods after I saw how it was made), Memories and the little barrel of pickled herring in the summer kitchen, always assured us of a hearty meal. There were more sealers of jams, jellies, to mine as he could without a reprimand from apple sauce and preserves, pickles, relishes, and vegetables on the shelf in the cellar than Mother. we would ever eat before Mother was ready Of course, I learned at a very early age that the secret to avoiding anything I didn’t like at a to put down more batches when the next fall meal was to simply not put it on my plate in the rolled around again. At least twice a week Mother baked bread, first place. and with our own homemade butter, we never Because the rule was hard and fast: anything had a meal without a plate of both sitting on you took on your plate had to be eaten! So the table. Although Mother’s protests did little I made awfully sure everything I took, I was prepared to eat. I also learned that there was no good, Father never ended a meal without taking a piece of well-buttered bread and wiping chance we would ever go hungry on the farm.

We would be well into summer before the sauerkraut barrel showed signs of being empty, and we never seemed to run out of potatoes, or vegetables buried in sand in the cellar. Of course, there were things Mother couldn’t get away without buying. Sugar, flour, little cans of spices from the Rawleigh man, or lemons and raisins when she could spare a few pennies out of her “egg money.” We all had hearty appetites, especially Father and my three brothers. Mother said they ate like it was their last meal on earth. But I was very careful what I piled on my plate because I was always conscious of Mother’s rule, “Eat everything you take, because if you don’t, you are taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian.” I had no idea who these starving Armenians were, but I was pretty sure they lived in Arnprior.

OPINION

The cat came back ... to play with my emotions!
T
he cat came back, the very next day … the cat came back — we thought he was a goner but the cat came back, he just wouldn’t stay away … — Harry Miller, 1893. Monday was not a good day. It started off OK, when the temperature rose to 23 degrees in the sunshine. But when I stepped out onto the back porch, the Farmer met The Accidental Farmwife me with a hard look on his face. “Go back in the house, please.” “Huh?” that was rude, I thought. Then … “Is there a unfamiliar with the landscape. I needed to know who the dead cat in the pool?!” I guessed it. It has only happened victim was this time, and I dreaded the answer. a couple of times in the 10 years I have been at the farm, “I need to see him,” I said, fearing the worst. because most of our cats are far too smart to go near the Junior, one of our two barn cats who overwinters in the pool. We lost a kitten once, and a stray who was obviously house, had only started his springtime excursions the day before. Could he be the cat who fell in the pool? The Farmer didn’t want to show me. I grabbed the feed bag he was holding and peeked inside. The wet body was mostly grey. I started to cry despite myself, and stomped off toward the house. It certainly looked like Junior the grey tabby to me. “I don’t think he fell in,” said the Farmer. "He was on top of the ice. It’s like he was in a fight with another cat and just died there.” I slammed the door behind me and vowed to buy a pool cover so we would never lose another cat. I blamed myself for announcing the weather forecast to Junior and shoving him and his siblings outside.

Perhaps they had witDirect: 613-558-9210 nessed the entire unfortunate event. krose@royallepage.ca • homeswithkirsten.com I cried intermittently throughout the day, whenever I

thought of my cheerful, rambunctious cat who trusted me for his care and safety. I felt sick and couldn’t eat. Tuesday was a little better. I had a number of work-related distractions and needed to focus on writing assignments so I successfully put Junior out of my mind for most of the day. Wednesday morning I went outside to check on our lame calf. I found her lying in the woodpile, out of the wind. Her foot is healing well, and I like that she lets me put hands on her. That always makes it easier if you have to catch them to treat them or to take milk for babies in the future. On my way back into the house, I heard a “mrrttt” and saw a grey blur shoot through my legs. Junior! The missing cat had returned from the dead. I followed him into the basement, where he allowed me to pet him as he filled his face with food. He seemed rather frantic, as if he had been through quite an experience. For the rest of the morning he was quite vocal, either purring with voiced breathing as he groomed him-
self in front of the wood stove, or sitting at my feet as I worked in the kitchen and at my desk, a barrage of kitty questions directed at me. Junior spent a good part of Wednesday morning racing up and down the stairs after Sheila and Sammy. He appeared quite happy to be home. He rolled on his back and ripped at the carpet on the stairs, forcing me to lock him in the basement until he calmed down. Junior is back. I feel very bad about the cat who died in or around my pool, and will take steps to ensure no one falls into it and drowns ever again. I still have no idea which cat ran out of his nine lives. I don’t think it was the white and black stray tomcat who likes to engage Sammy in fights that leave holes in his leg. The cat I saw was grey. Perhaps it was another stray. This time of year the males are off wandering to see who they can fight for territory. They are looking for females to impregnate and leaving a trail of wounded warriors in their wake. I suspect Junior knows, and is trying to tell me.
Let me help you sell your house and get you into your next great home.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

very good reasons why employee ownership may benefit a business and its current owners. Benefits include: empowering employees to think as an owner, encouraging bottom-line performance to drive profits, creating a pool of potential acquirers of the business for liquidation and succession, creating a culture of transparency and accountability, among other benefits. There are also some significant risks and downsides. You are used to running your own show, responsible to no-one but yourself. Once you have other shareholders, you have fiduciary obligations to consider that may impact things such as - how much you pay yourself. Your corporation has a statutory obligation to provide annual financial statements to all shareholders – do you want your employees to have access to that information? Your corporation is required to hold annual meetings where your actions may be questioned. There are other concerns as well. What happens to the shares of an employee when he or she leaves employment with your company? What happens if you decide to sell

and you have an employee who doesn’t want to sell his or her shares, or has disappeared and cannot be found?
Some of these issues may be addressed in a shareholders’ agreement that may provide, for example, the right of the corporation to purchase the shares of the employee on termination of employment, or to “carry-along” all of the shares of the employee to a purchaser that seeks to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares. Some issues however, such as the obligation of the corporation to provide annual financial statements, cannot be waived. We advise our clients to carefully consider the desired benefits of employee ownership against the risks and costs, and strongly urge our clients not to issue options or shares to employees without first implementing a shareholders’ agreement that governs certain the rights and obligation of shareholders. An experienced corporate lawyer can provide you with the assistance you need in carefully considering this decision.
