Diefenbooker Classic just around corner on May 6th

BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The annual Diefenbooker Classic is just about here.

Saturday, May 6 is the date for this year’s 21st annual Diefenbooker Classic, a run/walk/cycle event that not only promotes fun and healthy living in the community, but also raises funds for the West Carleton branches of the Ottawa Public Library.

And there’s still time to take part.

You can register online at http://diefenbookerclassic.ncf.ca. until Wednesday, May 3. There will also be registration on race day, Saturday, May 6, at the Agricultural Hall at the Carp fairgrounds from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

The Diefenbooker Classic is centred at the Carp fairgrounds in Carp but only the shorter races are held within the fairgrounds. The runners and walkers in the longer events follow a route that takes them through the blast tunnel of the Diefenbunker, the former National defence facility that is now Canada’s Cold War Museum.

Cyclists in the Diefenbooker Classic travel along paved roads throughout West Carleton.

There will also be registration on race day, Saturday, May 6, at the Agricultural Hall at the Carp fairgrounds from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

The Diefenbooker Classic offers events for those of all ages including 5K and 10K running races, 5K, 18K and 33K cycle tours and a 5K walk.

There’s a 5K team event in which four or more participants may register as a “team.” The winning teams will be determined using the lowest combined times of the best four runners on the team.

Youth events include a 1K race for those aged 12 years and under and “Loonie Loop” short races for those aged 2 to 6 years of age.

Once again this year, title sponsors of the Diefenbooker Classic are the West Carleton Medical-Dental Centre and West Physio.

Other sponsors include Nelson Water, Alice’s Village Café, Deka Home Building Centre, Bushtukah, Cheshire

Cat Pub, Carp Agricultural Society, Karson Kartage and West Carleton Review.

Volunteers on the Diefenbooker Classic event committee include: Karen Ensign, chair; Margaret Syms, race director; Dr. Barry Bruce, West Carleton Family Health Team rep; Bobbi Coady, major sponsors; Dayle Mulligan, T-shirts, learn to run clinic and looney loops; Hugh Urbach, past chair and consultant; Jim Collings, city permits and race day setup; Lori Fielding, Ottawa Public Library; Rick Snapper, webmaster; Robin Morash; Amanda Lovatt, registrar; Anne Musca, financial services, race day; Bernie Gorman, race day setup, cycling; Jody Heath, volunteer co-ordinator; Donna Clark, Ottawa Public Library; Ian Somerville, awards master of ceremonies; Kathy Fischer, media and marketing; Peter Fischer, fire/first responders, head marshal; and Susan Dowler, kitchen.

This year’s 21st annual Diefenbooker Classic is being dedicated in memory of Brenda Robertson.

For library patrons who visited the Fitzroy Harbour and Constance Bay library branches between the years 1998 and 2014, the person most likely greeting and serving them with her warm smile was Brenda Robertson who was public service supervisor at the branches for over 15 years.

Sadly Brenda passed away at the age of 63 last November.

Brenda is remembered by her colleagues and the community as a positive, kind and humble person, always willing to lend a hand and help library patrons. As her husband Mel describes it, “Brenda poured her heart and soul into her library work.”

Not only did Brenda volunteer at each of the Diefenbooker events, she also served as the volunteer co-ordinator on the steering committee from 2014 to 2015 during her retirement.

Brenda loved books and promoting reading and she loved contributing to her community. She especially loved the Diefenbooker for its support of the library branches in West Carleton.

This year the entire Robertson family will be par-

Venta private school recruits, but wants to remain small Venta hosts April 19 Open House

BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

Although the April 19 open house at Venta Preparatory School is planned to attract new students, the principal says Venta is “a small school that wants to stay small.”

The small school situated on a picturesque, wooded 53 acres just outside of Carp, currently has 80 students with a maximum class size of 12.

“Small classes,” Manager of Admissions Elizabeth Barnes said. “The whole point of Jake Davies/Metroland Venta is to tailor the program From left, Venta Principal Marilyn Mansfield and Manager of Admissions Elizabeth Barnes to the student. We assess and field questions from nine-year-old Colton Cossio while his mom Stacie Willson listens in. apply and then tailor the curriculum. We see the child as an individual.”

The private school has the Everything you need ability to provide residence for for your home design dreams students and currently four students take advantage of the op-

portunity. For those who don’t reside at school, the day is a bit longer than your average public school day.

“Parents are busy people,” Barnes said. “We have a longer day that incorporates beforeand after-school programming and at the end of the day, there’s no homework to take home.”

“We have structured our program based on two working parents,” Principal Marilyn Mansfield said.

During the first open house of the day, Grade 3-aged student Colton Cossio and his mother Stacie Willson are taking the tour with Barnes. Willson and Colton’s grandmother have already spent time at Venta earlier in the week and now it’s Colton’s turn to get a look at the school to see if it’s the right fit for him for next fall.

The tour includes the technology, art, music and other classrooms. Gym class is held outside, all year long.

In every classroom Colton and his mother visits, the students all stand and welcome the visitors.

“Our kids know how to behave, because the expectation is there,” Mansfield said.

Following the tour, Willson and Colton get to sit down with the principal and ask any questions they want.

Colton, who had no shortage of questions, seems very interested in the prospect of attending Venta.

To give him a better understanding of the school, Principal Mansfield invites Colton to spend two days the following week attending the school to see if this is where he wants to be.

Workshop participants at St. Mary’s Anglican Church at Dunrobin are among those who will have their unique pottery pieces added to Populace, a Canada 150 project.

This is a small creative idea that the Ottawa Guild of Potters had that is about to become a grand vision. That idea, to mark Canada's 150th, is Populace.

This significant ceramic art installation will showcase the beauty of ceramic art while recognizing the three main cultures in 1867 at the time of Confederation in the larger Ottawa area.

This will be a spectacle of 9,000 individually-crafted ceramic sculptures of roses to recognize the British, fleurs-delys to recognize the French and feathers to recognize Ottawa's Indigenous peoples.

Each flower and feather will be handmade out of ceramic clay, fused with a lustrous light glaze and installed on individual rods, forming a contemporary populace and transforming the landscape into a bold but sublime public art garden.

The scale of the installation, featuring a monochromatic colour scheme with repetition of flowers and feathers will draw viewers to reflect on the significance of Canada’s history as a nation.

Visitors will walk through the installation’s meandering paths and be immersed in a powerful visual experience.

Special to the Review

Populace honours Canada’s past, transforms its experience today and celebrates ceramic art in the community as an authentic and significant art form.

With so many pieces to be installed, it means thousands of individuals are needed to complete the project.

Dunrobin's St. Mary's Anglican Church recently held a workshop with eager participants to create their unique pieces.

Guided through the making of the sculptures by project co-ordinator Kirstin Davidson, many hand crafted pieces, which once kiln-fired, will be added to the display.

Populace will be installed in the east side park of the Museum of Nature — the installation site partner.

The Populace garden officially opens on June 17 and will be in place all summer until Sept. 4.

Funding partners for this monumental work are: Ottawa 2017, CIBC and the three Arts, Culture and Heritage Program Stewarding Partners, AOE Arts Council, Ottawa Arts Council and Council of Heritage Organizations in Ottawa, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (Ontario 150 Celebration), Tiree Facility Solutions Inc.

Curtain rises on Girls! Girls! Girls! for TACTICS festival Continued from page 1

If people are ready for it, it really creates a connection.

“This production we’re trying to include the audience more by sitting in a semicircle and bleeding the light a bit in to the audience. In real life stories like this, there are a lot of bystanders that did not react.

“We are kind of asking the audience, what would you do? It adds a heightened level of engagement for the audience.”

Carty says the audience semicircle setup creates other challenges for the production as well.

The staging and blocking of actors has to be more precise to ensure all audience members can follow the action and the performances.

Carty and her company have been working on the play since last September, “putting the team together, auditioning actors.” The first read through was March first, and April has been the most intense work as the troupe gets

ready for opening night on April 27.

While a director-actor position can be a difficult role, being a producer-actor is a challenge of a different horse — but one Carty embraces.

“I don’t have the director’s muscle,” she said.

“I like to be inside the work. But I am very organized and I love the producer’s role. I like to take ownership.

“I know, and have worked with most of the actors, or have chosen actors I have always wanted to work with — but I do have to wear two hats. One day might be spend producing and then I have to switch hats at rehearsal, learn to understand my character and my role in the performance.”

The third annual TACTICS Festival runs from April 19 to May 6 at the Arts Court Theatre at 2 Daly Ave. with Girls! Girls! Girls! Running April 26 to May 6. Single tickets are between $15 to $25 and a main stage series pass is $32. For more information visit tacticsottawa. com.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Goodbye, home sweet home!

T

here’s no place like home. This phrase is most famously associated with Dorothy in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz who voiced this sentiment after arriving back in Kansas after her experience with the Yellow Brick Road and the Emerald City.

Home is a unique place, as Dorothy observed.

Indeed, crooner Bing Crosby tied the lure of home with the appeal of Christmas in his 1943 hit I’ll Be Home for Christmas, a song which is now considered a Christmas standard, probably because it ties together those two most beloved concepts, home and Christmas.

Since pioneer times, a home has always been a most desired goal for Canadians. Early settlers worked endlessly to clear their land so they could build a home there, however modest in the beginning.

But whether modest or eventually palatial, having a home has been paramount for generations of Canadians. And why not? A home evokes a special feeling. It’s where you can relax, feel in control and be yourself. It’s that small piece of the world where, whether you are a labourer or banker, you are in charge. It’s your space, pure and simple.

And now this longtime scenario is being threatened not by decreasing demand or a change in societal attitudes, but rather by rising prices. The real estate market in Canada’s two most prominent cities, Vancouver and Toronto, is running rampant. In Toronto, average house prices have reached $916,567, up more than 33 per cent from just a year earlier.

For these two cities, home ownership has become exclusively for the rich, not a realizable goal for the everyday person.

Unfortunately, the province’s reaction to this loss of a dream has been lame and half-baked.

The so-called Fair Housing Plan ushers in a nonresidential speculation tax and the widening of rent control to all rental units. But where is the hope for first-time home buyers in these markets and, indeed, in all of Canada?

It’s fast becoming a situation where there is no place like home, because there will be no home.

Is this why our ancestors cleared the land and set up their homesteads — so that today’s young families would have no chance to have a home?

It is a tragedy in the making and our political leaders seem to have no idea how to save the family home.

Fortunately, it is not real hate, only sports hate

A

couple of years ago, I spent a weekend in Boston with family. What a nice city. What nice people. We rode the great subway system, went to a baseball game at Fenway Park — a place I thought might be overrated but wasn’t. We explored interesting residential neighbourhoods, walked all over the downtown. The day was warm and sunny, the downtown full of parks, museums, history and friendly people.

Two years later, we hated Boston.

We had to. The Bruins played there and the Senators had to beat the Bruins to move on in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

No doubt many other people in our city had visited Boston, enjoyed it immensely and now hated it.

We watched the games. In our completely objective view, Boston was mean. There were cross-

seasons ago, there was that matter of fans in Toronto throwing beer cans onto the field because they didn’t like an umpire’s call during a playoff game. But it was a really bad call, explained the objective fans, who were in the process of hating Texas at the time.

Next year they hated Cleveland, where many of them had probably had nice visits, exploring the rock and roll Hall of Fame and other attractions. You don’t really get much choice in whom you hate.

So the hating goes on. Fortunately, it is not real hate, only sports hate, which is not the same, we hope.

This year in hockey, there is a chance that there will be a Canadian team to cheer for in the final.

That won’t be easy for some Canadians, those who have spent their hockey lives cheering against Toronto, or Montreal, or even Ottawa.

But sports fans are blessed with mental flexibility. They can even cheer passionately in one round for the city that they hated in the previous one. Under the right circumstances, we could even forget that we hated Boston.

Ward 5 West Carleton-March Kanata Sailing Club – Open House

The Kanata Sailing Club (KSC), located on the Ottawa River at 1610 Sixth Line Road in Dunrobin, is holding an open house on Saturday, April 29, from noon to 4pm. KSC is located beside the Ottawa River Canoe Club and YMCA-YWCA Camp. KSC has been part of the community landscape since 1975 and is a nonprofit cooperative club where members contribute to running the club. KSC owns a fleet of sailing boats for members to use so they do not need to own their own boats. They provide training for new and experienced sailors – young and old alike – so the whole family can get out on the water! Visit kanatasailingclub.com for more information.

Opening of ball diamonds and sports fields is delayed

The City of Ottawa is asking residents and organizers of large public events to please stay off ball diamonds, sports fields and general turf areas at the City’s recreation centres and parks.

Due to recent weather, the fields are extremely wet and could be damaged if used in their current condition. The City will officially open ball diamonds and sports fields as soon as weather conditions make it feasible.

Tick season

Ottawa is now considered a risk area for Lyme Disease due to ticks. Plan ahead and know what to do this summer if you find ticks.

Dr. Melanie Bolton

Dr. Erin Kelly

Dr. Michelle Steenbakkers

You can’t get rid of ticks completely, but you can reduce the number present in your yard by: • Keeping your grass mowed • Removing brush and fallen leaves from the edges of your property, especially if your yard is bordered by woods or fields of tall grass • Cleaning up areas under and around bird feeders to reduce the attraction of small critters such as mice and voles that carry ticks • Discouraging deer from entering your yard, as ticks also feed on these animals • Keeping your woodpile neat, dry, off the ground, and away from your house My office has a supply of tick removal tools that can be used to safely remove ticks. Residents interested in picking one up, can stop by my ward office.

Listening to the sounds of the trees

BY KAREN RUNTZ Special to the Review

Some events in nature — the live streaming of April the giraffe giving birth or cameras recording birds at feeders and nests — attract thousands, even millions of eyeballs.

But who watches or listens to trees?

After all, trees are just there.

Local tree ecologist and educator Owen Clarkin — the speaker for the Macnamara’s May 2 meeting — would tell you otherwise.

Clarkin, who has been studying the trees of Eastern Ontario since the age of four, has an active following on a Tree Ottawa Facebook group where he is the resident expert. In mid-April a member posted: Can someone tell me what kind of tree this is?

The cones are making ticking sounds on this warm day. Sounds like birds cracking seeds in their beaks but that’s not it. We’ve got several of these trees and they’re all...ticking away. It’s fascinating.

“It looks to be Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris),” answered Clarkin.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Wally’s hospital visit meant afternoons with Lorna Without her mate, Lorna was at a loss of what to do

Wally is into his 90s now, and as he puts it, some of his parts are in need of repair.

He had surgery recently, and had to spend a couple weeks in the hospital.

That left Lorna at home, without her mate.

When Wally isn’t around, Lorna gets quite confused.

She has about a twenty-minute window before she starts questioning where he has gone and when he will return.

We made a reservation for her at the Perley Hospital Residence, right around the corner from her house.

Lorna was not pleased with the idea and said she wouldn’t go.

We called Wally at the hospital and after she argued with him for a few minutes she hung up the phone.

“He told me to behave myself,” she reported, and reluctantly packed her bag.

On the move-in date, Lorna’s daughter sat down in the residence office to record every pill,

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife eye drop and medication that Lorna takes, including dosages and what time to administer them.

I went with Lorna to the games room, to meet her new housemates.

Most of the guests at the residence had some sort of memory loss or confusion.

Some of them were recovering from surgery and others were there to give temporary respite to their caregivers.

The residence consisted of one large circular hallway with rooms along the outside and kitchen, social room and offices in the middle.

If a guest found themselves lost, they only needed to continue around the circle to find their room.

“Lorna,” she read aloud the sign on her bedroom door.

“That’s me.”

The residence was extremely accommodating. But Lorna was not comfortable there.

Several times a day she asked where Wally was and when he would be coming.

Every morning she woke and packed her bag, ready to go home.

She fretted over baking she needed to do.

When we told her he had to

stay in hospital for two weeks she said that was ridiculous and demanded the telephone.

Each day we got Wally on the phone for Lorna, and each day she told him, “you get your a** home right now.”

She lasted three days there, and we had to bring her back home.

Her other daughter came from Edmonton to stay with her until Wally was out of the hospital.

Now when Wally has to go to a doctor’s appointment, needs to go shopping or just feels the need to go for a drive, I sit with Lorna.

First we check to make sure she has taken her pills. Then I ask if she has eaten.

I have to look for clues or ask Wally, because Lorna cannot remember.

She has her books, but she can’t concentrate on them. She does part of a crossword, then asks where Wally has gone.

Her short term memory is gone, but her long term memo-

ries are vibrant.

I distract her with questions about the past.

She tells me about when her five children were in school, and she had to have lunch ready for them.

She says she never watched television during the day, and she isn’t about to start now.

I pull out my laptop and start working on a writing assignment.

Lorna picks up a notepad and questions the notes she has written there.

“Whose phone number is this? And who is this cheque for?”

I explain the number is the home care service and the cheque is for the cleaning lady.

I will repeat that information three more times over the afternoon.

Lorna is unsettled without Wally. I don’t know what she is like when he is home.

He has removed the fuses from the stove so that she won’t be able to burn their dinner.

He has put her baking ingredients in the basement, where she seldom goes.

Lorna used to bake for every Sunday dinner.

She baked cakes for our wedding. She doesn’t bake anymore.

Some things are hard wired.

Lorna takes meat out of the freezer every day, to defrost for dinner.

She makes tea, and wonders aloud if Wally is hungry.

As long as he is there, she is not at a loss for what to do.

Lorna knows she is having issues with her memory.

She needs to be reminded who the new baby belongs to each Sunday.

Her fridge is covered with photos of her loved ones.

Pieces of Lorna’s memory are slowly disappearing, but the deepest memories are the ones she holds in her heart. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail. com

Telling about Panmure - ‘a typical little service centre’

BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

In Scotland, the name Panmure is associated with a castle and a stately country house. In West Carleton, Panmure is associated not with castles or stately country homes but rather with

a crossroads community that at the most consisted of a general store, a couple of hotels or stopping places or taverns and a blacksmith shop.

Assigning the name Panmure to this West Carleton crossroads was “rather a comedown” to the name’s heritage in Scotland. That was how

guest speaker Terry Currie, a native of West Carleton’s Panmure, described the situation in his presentation at the April 18 meeting of the Huntley Township Historical Society at the Carp Memorial Hall in Carp.

He said the name “Panmure” was assigned to the area when it got its

first post office in 1854. Apparently, a Mr. Morris, the Postmaster General at the time, named it Panmure as his wife came from that part of Scotland.

Panmure House was a 17th century country house built for the second

Earl of Panmure who died in 1671. It no longer exists but it was located in Angus, Scotland, which is four miles north of Carnoustie.

Panmure: A crossroads Continued from page 16

There was also an earlier Panmure Castle built about 1224 which was the ancestral home of the Maule family of Panmure; it was destroyed in the second War of Scottish Independence in 1336.

Terry Currie’s roots in Panmure go back quite a ways as his grandfather built the family farm home there in the 1800s. Terry went to a one-room schoolhouse before going on to Arnprior District High School and eventually a career as a teacher at Almonte High School.

He admitted that Panmure as a community was “not a village, hardly even a hamlet” even in its heyday when it had its two taverns and blacksmith shop.

He said that Panmure was similar to many of the little crossroads communities which sprang up in the area in the early years of settlement. There had to be a general store to provide goods and necessities to the settlers in a roughly five-mile radius, and provide lodging for travellers who could only travel so far each day due to the slow-moving horses or even slower-moving oxen that powered their transportation.

Terry said the four basic necessities needed by settlers were salt, tea, sugar and whisky. These supplies would have to be transported by bateaux or canoe up the Ottawa River and then inland by one of several trails or roads to the general stores at various crossroads. Many of the goods were shipped in winter when the early roads were covered with snow, great for sleighs pulled by oxen. The general store also handled tools and other items, although Terry said that both choice and quality of the tools were quite limited.

Every little settlement area needed a source of supply for these necessities, and hence general stores

cropped up at numerous crossroads. So there was Elm and Marathon Village and Dunrobin and Woodlawn and Antrim and South March and more. Some crossroads had more to offer, such as Antrim with its two churches, a general store, an Orange Hall, and even a flax mill.

“Panmure was a typical little service centre,” Terry said, noting that its general store, like others, survived until the end of the Second World War when cars became more common, replacing the horse and buggy of previous generations. The Panmure crossroads at what is now Panmure Road and the Upper Dwyer Hill Road is where the Hudson farm is today. There are also signs along the Upper Dwyer Hill Road proclaiming the crossroads as Panmure, even though the general store/post office there is long gone.

Panmure also had a dance hall on what is now the Hudson farm. Terry’s father used to organize dances there.

Terry said that the countryside was full of these small crossroads communities with a general store and perhaps tavern, brought about by slow moving transportation on bad roads that could only go so far each day along with the need for a local distribution depot.

Terry Currie wrote the book, “The Ottawa Valley’s Great Fire of 1870,” which was published in 2009. Born in 1939, Terry attended SS#3 Fitzroy, a one room school, before going on to Arnprior District High School and then St. Patrick’s College in Ottawa. He and his late wife, the former Shirley Anne Jones of Ottawa, raised four children on the family farm.

He retired in 2003, after which he earned his master’s degree in history at the University of Ottawa.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Easter Blessing I hope everyone had a joyous Easter weekend and was able to spend some time with their friends, family, and loved ones. Easter, along with the other religious holidays that take place around this time of the year, are a wonderful way for people of all faiths to come together, recognize the passing of winter, celebrate the rejuvenation of spring, and to be reminded of the joy we share with one another. I wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous spring.

Robotics I would like to congratulate ‘Team 2706: Merge Robotics’ who competed valiantly at this year’s First Robotics Competition (FRC) - Ontario District Championships. The FRC is a competition where teams of High-school students team up with some of the world’s best tech companies to build some very impressive robots within six-weeks. Team 2706: Merge Robotics, the team from Kanata and the surrounding region, not only managed to make it to the District Championships, but also took home the Team Spirit Award. We should all be very proud of their accomplishments.

Tax Clinic Wrap-up With the Volunteer Tax Clinics wrapping up, I am pleased to say that during our time hosting clinics both in Kanata and Fitzroy Harbour, our Tax Clinic Volunteers managed to assist 80 residents in completing their tax returns. I’d like to thank those CRA volunteers who gave up their time to help those in the community in need of assistance.

Carp Fair Men’s Night I had a great time at the Carp Fair Men’s Night event hosted at the Carp Agricultural Hall. It was very enjoyable to serve the local gentleman, alongside the other local ladies in the bar. Unfortunate travel prevents me from attending the Women’s Night, but I’m sure a good time will be had by all.

Many of you share my frustration with the lack of high speed internet in portions of the riding. My office has been working hard to make progress in the provision of this vital service. We have completed a request for funding from the “Connect to Innovate Program”, which provides funding to rural areas to develop reliable internet infrastructure. We have spoken to all of the Internet Service Providers (ISP) in the riding, and I am happy that Northwinds, a local ISP from Constance Bay, has completed a proposal to enhance their capabilities.

I want to thank Mayor Jim Watson and Councillor Eli El-Chantiry, who have lent their support and have worked collaboratively to make this proposal a reality.

We will continue to work on this critical priority.

Mayor’s Report

CREATING A LASTING GREEN LEGACY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS By: Mayor Jim Watson One of Ottawa’s most unique characteristic is its particularly large geographical scale. Its total land surface of 2758 km² is large enough to encompass the cities of Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. Much of our City’s land surface is made up of rural and farming areas which boast a rich and diverse green space and tree canopies.

As our City’s population grows, so do our family-centric suburbs and vibrant urban neighbourhoods. To keep our urban core green and our neighbourhoods beautiful, Ottawa is working with numerous partners and organizations on tree planting initiatives that will see thousands, if not millions, of trees planted in our city this year alone.

2017 marks Canada’s 150th anniversary and in addition to the many exciting events and celebrations planned for our nation’s sesquicentennial, special projects are being implemented to leave a legacy for future generations. One of the legacy projects is the Canada 150 Maple Groves project. The City of Ottawa will plant a grove of 150 native Canadian maple trees in each of our 23 wards. These groves, which may take the form of a formal cluster of trees, linear groupings, or maples planted within a reforestation site or natural area, will consist of native Canadian sugar, red, and silver maples. The sites within each ward have already been selected, and tree planting will start this month. You can find more information on the City’s Trees and community forests at www.Ottawa.ca/en/residents/water-andenvironment/trees-and-community-forests.

Canada’s 150th birthday has also inspired Ecology Ottawa and Tree Ottawa’s One Million Trees legacy project. This ambitious project is a great example of collaboration, as local schools, community associations, corporations, charities and residents will work together to plant one million trees in the city of Ottawa.

Just last month, Ottawa 2017 announced that the Red Bull Global Rallycross championship event will head to Ottawa for the very first time. In support of the One Million Trees project and to further support this important legacy of the sesquicentennial year, the series’ organizers have committed to planting 3,000 trees to off-set the event’s carbon footprint. Visit www.TreeOttawa.org and find out how you can also get involved!

The legacy would not be complete without honouring Ottawa’s history as a lumber town. Last season, Ottawa’s Canadian Football League and 2016 Grey Cup Champions the REDBLACKS, announced that for each touchdown the team scores at TD Place Stadium, a tree will be planted at the OC Transpo Trim Park and Ride in recognition of the thousands of football fans who use transit services to get to the games. The newly planted green space, the REDBLACKS Forest, will be a mix of different species of trees. 26 trees, the number of home touchdowns for the REDBLACKS in the 2016 season, will be planted in June. Ottawa football fans who cheered the REDBLACKS can now also celebrate the addition of green space. The REDBLACKS Forest is a great example of the City’s commitment to support an environmentally sustainable Ottawa, while leaving a lasting green legacy for future generations.

Constance Bay the big winner at El-Chantiry 60th birthday party

BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com

The jokes came at Eli ElChantiry’s expense at his 60th birthday party at the Carp Fairgrounds complex on Sunday, April 23.

But they came for a higher purpose and the West Carleton-March councillor was happy to be laughed at because the gathering was a fundraiser for a facility that is dear to his heart.

“Making fun of me and laughing at me is all fine when it is for such a good cause,” El-Chantiry said.

“This isn’t about me, but it’s about the Constance Bay community.”

The prelimary count of how much money was raised through the event for the Constance Bay Community Centre was pegged at just under $20,000.

“Making fun of me and laughing at me is all fine when it is for such a good cause.”

COUN. ELI EL-CHANTIRY

“From the bottom of my heart, thanks so much for coming out and supporting this effort,” he said after he had been mildly roasted by speakers at the event such as Mayor Jim Watson, federal Senator Vern White, who used to be the city’s police chief, and current Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau.

This latest production by the Rural Root Theatre involves Bethany, a bright, strong, independent and beautiful woman who has zero self-esteem. She has taken her fiancée Floyd and his mother Verna up to her cabin in the woods. This was the site of the hunting accident which killed Chance, her first husband.

Much to Bethany’s consternation, Chance — or rather, his ghost — is still there.

You will be able to enjoy this comedy Ghost of a Chance at a matinee performance on Sunday, April 30 at 2 p.m. or at any of the performances from Tuesday, May 2 through to Saturday, May 6 at 7:30 p.m. each evening.

Tickets are $15 per person and are available at www.ruralroot.org or by calling 613618-9789.

West Carleton Skating Club awards

BY MELODY ROCHON Special to the Review

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

More Government Intervention?

The government thinks your property is worth too much money.

This is why the government has decided to intervene in the housing market.

This government thinks that the solution to every problem is to pile on debt and increase taxes.

Unsurprisingly, they’ve just announced a 15% tax on foreign buyers as well as rent controls.

I think it’s highly unlikely that these policies will cool down the housing market. We don’t really know what difference the foreign buyers’ tax will make, because we don’t know how many foreign buyers there are. Rent controls always end up making it harder to build new housing, because there’s no economic incentive to do so. There’s rarely a consensus among economists, but most are opposed to rent controls. So it’s likely that the government’s new policies will not have the desired effect.

A more responsible government would try to increase supply of housing by making it easier for developers to build, and by ensuring that mortgage lending practices are sound.

These new policies are just the latest move by a tired and scandal-ridden government trying to raise its polling numbers. But interference in the real estate market is little more than low-information populism.

The next election can’t come soon enough!

The cushion award, presented to the skater who has taken many falls but has resulted in achieving a specific goal, went to Meredith Graham.

The awards for most tests passed were presented to Owen Atherfold (intermediate skater), Alicia Stel (senior skater), Molly Lang (senior skater) and Lauryn Rochon-Kaiser (senior skater). Each of these skaters completed six tests during the 2016 to 2017 skating season.

The award for highest test passes was presented to Lauryn RochonKaiser who completed the gold dances.

Two gold level skaters who received

Skate Canada awards of merit for their successful completion of gold tests were Alexandra Cox, for the completion of her gold interpretive solo and gold skills, as well as Lauryn Rochon-Kaiser for completion of her gold dances.

Club awards, voted on by the coaches, were awarded to the skaters who most exemplify the love of skating for the 2016 to 2017 skating season.

The recipients were: Boal Trophy recipient (junior skater) — Madeleine Bondy and Jordana LaBerge; Barb Bird Trophy recipient (intermediate skater) — Rachel Heuchert and Owen Atherfold; and Wilson Trophy recipient (senior skater) — Emily Roper.

It was another great season for the West Carleton Skating Club, culminating in the club’s annual awards banquet.

One special presentation at this year’s banquet on March 26 honoured Laura Shwetz, who has been a coach with the West Carleton Skating Club (WCSC) for the past 20 years.

The WCSC coaches were all recognized for their hard work and dedication to the club and its program. These coaches include Cristy Gravelle, Janet Hill-Tobali, Margie Hill Carty, Laura Shwetz, Lauryn Rochon-Kaiser, Patrick Hahn, Ben Tobali, Brent Carty and Ashley Holmes.

The club’s Special Olympics coaches who were recognized for their work included Cristy Gravelle, Chris Gaudet, Catherine Boutet, Grace Warmels, Sherri Anderson and Joelle Sabourin.

Awards were presented to skaters in recognition of their hard work and effort throughout the 2016 to 2017 skating season.

Shannon Arbuckle received the Special Olympic program assistant award.

Peer awards, which are voted on by skaters only, were given out in three categories: the hardest worker, the most improved, and the skater exhibiting excellent sportsmanship qualities.

Have you ever heard the term ‘natural born leader’? What comes to mind? A person with confidence, influence and passion. Someone with vision, clarity and who seems to attract success. These would be some common traits of leaders we see around the world today and hopefully in our everyday lives. The simple definition of leader is someone who others follow. How a leader creates a following can be more complicated. And one wonders, how common is the mere pursuit of effective leadership?

It has been said we are facing a global leadership gap.

Fortunately, we have among us those who are working toward closing that gap in Ottawa.

I have spent many years working in community development and advocating for leadership in business, organizations and schools. So when I came to Ottawa and began looking for ways to support our business community, one of the first things I investigated were the opportunities to create and build leaders. I was very impressed to learn that our community hosted an annual conference called Leadercast.

This one-day conference hosted in Atlanta features some of the world’s foremost thought leaders and it is telecast live in hundreds of countries worldwide. What a wonderful use of our technology to share information and inspiration and gather thousands of people together at one time to learn how to become better leaders in their lives, their businesses and their communities.

I have attended many of these events over the years and never cease to be amazed by the wealth of knowledge and potential for growth that is made possible by the simple act of actively listening to and networking with fellow change makers. It can be challenging to prioritize the art of personal growth in our busy schedules. However, those that make the time and focus on improving their skills and character will eventually out-perform those who do not.

The real question is, who do you want to be?

If you are an individual who wishes to improve your quality of life and relationships, be more successful in your chosen profession and contribute more to your community then be a leader.

If you are a business owner or manager who is looking for a way to grow and increase your bottom line by developing your greatest asset, your people, then be a creator of leaders.

If you are a community leader, a parent, a teacher or a mentor who wants to elevate our community and close the leadership gap then share the message about improving leadership.

Start with Leadercast. Please join us on May 5, 2017 for a day of networking, learning and inspiration. We look forward to your next big idea and the impact you will have on those you love, your business and your community. Sign up now – www.leadercastottawa.com. Members of the West Ottawa Board of Trade and all their employees receive a promotional rate. Be great today. Be a leader.

Cheers to your success, Sueling Sueling Ching | Executive Director West Ottawa Board of Trade | www.westottawabot.com The West Ottawa Board of Trade is a nonprofit, nonpartisan business association, independently driven and funded by business members. Our mission is to create a prosperous environment in which businesses and individuals thrive through economic development and providing value added services.

Wolves girls volleyball team misses playoffs following tiebreaker

BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

An inexperienced West Carleton Secondary School Wolves team made it to a tiebreaker, but will not contend in the playoffs for Tier I junior girls volleyball this year.

The Wolves made it to the tiebreaker on the strength of the second-best home record in the West Division of the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association at 4-1 — but their road woes contributed to a .500 record of 5-5.

Still, that was strong enough to force a tiebreaker with John McRae at the Wolves’ den on April 18 for the final NCSSAA West playoff spot — a team they beat 3-2, just two weeks earlier. Unfortunately, their comfort at home did not help as the Wolves dropped three straight matches 25-15, 29-27 and 25-9, during the tiebreaker.

First-year coach Elle Minaker was happy with the season saying she was proud

of an inexperienced team that stuck together through thick and thin.

“There was not a lot of experience,” she told the West Carleton Review.

“We played one tournament outside of the league and made it to the quarterfinals, but the team only had two players on it that also play club volleyball.

Minaker said, despite the sudden end to the season, she is proud of a team that accomplished a lot this season.

“We were led by two strong captains,” she said. “The team had a great attitude and lots of fun. Their willingness to learn and come together. They have a great attitude — even though that last set wasn’t pretty, the girls stuck together and still had fun.”

With the volleyball season winding down for both high school boys and girls, high school sports will start to move outside with lacrosse, soccer and track and field.

They came, they tried, they loved playing ringette

BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

It was publicized as a “Come Try Ringette� experience and that’s just what happened.

Fifty new players, wanting to try out ringette for the very first time, showed up for these Come Try Ringette sessions at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville on Saturday, April 22, hosted by the West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA).

There were two free sessions held on the ice in the afternoon for girls 4 to 16 years old.

The players rotated among a variety of stations focused on skills like passing, checking, skating and shooting.

This enabled them to get a sense of what the sport is all about.

A few games on the ice further reinforced this sense of the game.

Those who turned out for these Come Try Ringette sessions needed only a pair of skates, a helmet and a pair of

gloves, either hockey gloves or a regular pair of winter gloves.

Ringette sticks were provided.

The sport of ringette is over 50 years old.

The game of ringette was introduced by Sam Jacks in North Bay in 1963. Since then, ringette has spread to countries such as Finland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Russia and the United States, although Canada still has the largest ringette participation with over 50,000 players.

Ringette is a fast-paced ice sport in which intentional body contact is not permitted.

It in involves six players from each team on the ice at any one time.

Players are not permitted to carry the ring (ringette’s alternative to a puck, and hence the sport’s name) over the two blue lines.

The ring can be advanced over a blue line only by passing it to another player.

Ringette is related to ice hockey in equipment and playing surface, but differs in rules

and approach to the game. In ringette, the challenge is to catch or “stab� the ring.

To catch the ring, a player must stab through the hole in the ring with the bladeless stick, usually while the player is on the move.

Once stabbed, the ring is easier to control than a puck, but the blue line rules force more passing.

That’s why ringette is a game where skating and passing are paramount and where teamwork is a focus.

WORA offers both recreational and competitive programs for players 4 to 18 years old, ranging from learn-toskate Bunny programs to provincial ‘AA’ teams.

League play runs from early October through to the end of March.

The home arenas for the West Ottawa Ringette Association include rinks in Stittsville, Richmond, Kanata, Carp and Kinburn.

Away games came take place anywhere from Nepean to Or-

-SHOE �BANK CANADA+

leans to Gatineau.

WORA also offers an equipment loan program for new ringette players 4 to 7 years old.

Up to 26 of these players who are new to the sport are provided with the necessary equipment except for a helmet and skates.

WORA also welcomes anyone wishing to be a goalie. The WORA needs goalies between 10 and 16 years old.

More details about WORA, its programs and the game of Submitted ringette in general can be found Fifty potential new ringette players took advantage of a at the WORA website at www. free opportunity to give the sport a try on April 22. westottawaringette.com .

BY JEAN MCCARRON SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The Galetta Lawn Bowling Club is gearing up for the 2017 season which will open in May. The executive and others met in the club rooms on Tuesday last week to get the ball rolling.

The Galetta Lawn Bowling Club has the honour of hosting the Provincial Senior Men’s Triples on July 31 and August 1 and 2. The president Flo Sil-

vestro chaired the meeting and had a list of daily jobs for these events.

Since the Almonte Lawn Bowling Club is hosting the Provincial Senior Ladies Tournament at the same time, their president Al Jones and the Provincial Chairman Bob Thomson also attended the meeting.

All the many details were discussed and the best people for the jobs were suggested.

There are many duties from

setting up the equipment early in the morning and putting it all away at night. There are also food, snacks, dishes, cold water supply, scorekeepers, medical aid, registration and on and on. It takes a lot of people in the background to run a successful event. And Galetta and Almonte have the situation well organized.

A total of 48 bowlers from the 16 areas of Ontario will be playing in Galetta.

Fitzroy Township Historical Society SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The Fitzroy Township Historical Society was formed in 1985.

The society strives to keep the pioneer heritage of Fitzroy township alive by assembling and recording its history, promoting the conservation of heritage homes and sites, and enhancing residents' awareness of the township's history.

A board of directors meets regularly, with periodic general meetings held that are open to the public. Pat Tait is the current president of the Fitzroy Township Historical Society. Iva Duncan is the secretary and Betty Dowd the treasurer. Terry Currie is the past president.

The Fitzroy Township Historical Society has produced several publications, including the book Beyond Our Memory in 1989 outlining the history of Fitzroy township.

Also in 2001, Our Heritage Homes was published featuring photographs and historical information on over 350 homes in the township.

In 2004, in conjunction with the Lorne Sutherland Women’s Institute, the book Above and Below: Remembering Kingdon Mine was released, outlining the history of Kingdon Mine at Galetta, one of the largest lead mines in Canada when it oper-

ated from 1915 to 1931.

At its peak, the mine employed 600 people and as many as 250 families lived at the village of Kingdon Mine, which was on Morris Island near Galetta.

Some historical trivia about Fitzroy township: Fitzroy township was named after Sir Charles Fitzroy, Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island and son-in-law of the Duke of Richmond who died at Richmond in 1819.

Herman Landon built the first grist mill on the Carp River in 1824.

The first school in Fitzroy township was established at Fitzroy Harbour in 1832.

Potatoes

MARY COOK

W

e never seemed to run out of potatoes. Bags of them sat in the dugout cellar under the house, and they appeared on the table for just about every meal. And that included the pan of fried potatoes and onions Father had to have for breakfast.

Once it was warm enough, Father dragged a few bags out of the cellar and spread the potatoes out on newspapers on the summer-kitchen floor. This was an after-supper chore, and it only happened once a year.

He would sit on the low FOR SALE

Memories stool and with a couple of empty pails beside him begin the ritual that would make sure we had enough potatoes to last us through the next winter.

With the summer-kitchen door wide open, he would reach down and grab one potato at a time, and turn it

FOR SALE

FOR SALE

over in his hand, examining it closely. And then, with the paring knife, he would quarter the potatoes just so. They had to be done in a certain way, which meant the job was too important to hand it off to one of us, for which we five children were eternally grateful. Each piece

FOR SALE

of potato had to have an eye.

And when I asked Father why this was so important, he said it was the only way you could be sure the potato would root when it was put in the ground.

And soon the planting would begin. But before, Father would have spent many back-breaking hours on the long stretch of land that ran beside our vegetable garden.

I thought the planting was as much of a chore as getting the ground ready. Father would take the filled pails from the summer-kitchen, carrying two at a time, and he would place the pails at intervals along the rows. Then, stooping over, he would take out a few pieces of the cut potatoes and

FOR SALE

FOR SALE

drop them into the holes. Dippers of water from yet another pail were poured on top of the potatoes and then the hole covered with the earth beside it.

Father could only do a couple rows at a time; such was the chore of planting potatoes.

It would take many hours to finish the job, and then the long wait began, hoping that one day a sprout would appear to show that his hard work had paid off.

And when row after row of potatoes filled that part of the field, I would marvel at the miracle of it all. I knew it would take a long time before we would see the blossoms on the plants, and I would both rejoice and be filled with dread.

FOR SALE

FOR SALE

Because sometimes, we would go up and down those same rows with little honey pails of coal oil and pick off the potato bugs which, if left alone, would rub out all Father’s long hours of labour. And I felt a certain comfort and relief as the plants grew and flourished, knowing as long as we had those bags of potatoes in the cellar, we wouldn’t starve to death when winter closed around us and the Depression showed no sign of easing off.

CALL ANY TIME TO ARRANGE A HOME VIEWING

Choruses of wood frogs now rise from woodland ponds, sounding not unlike ducks quacking. From roadside ditches the rocking-chair-like creaks of chorus frogs fill the air. And in local forests red maples are blushing red with the opening of their flowers.

A lot is also happening far beneath the crowns of red maples. After their winterlong dormancy, drawing from their nutrient reserves created through the summer and stored in underground tubers, wildflowers are sending up shoots through the dead leaf litter.

Like armies on standby, spotted leaves of trout-lilies stand erect while the veined leaves of bloodroot tightly hug white buds, some of which are now opening on south-facing hillsides.

Spring brings a profusion of wildflowers but not in all local habitats. Most of the early bloomers are in hardwood forests, especially older maplebeech woods underlain by rich soils. Hepaticas (Round- and Sharp-lobed), spring beauties (Virginia and Carolina),

and blue cohosh are currently starting to bloom. Violets of various colours are also joining the show, and soon the yellow blooms of trout-lilies and snowy flowers of white trilliums will paint the floor of local woods.

So why do so many forest wildflowers bloom in early spring while wildflowers in fields and other open habitats make an appearance weeks or even months later? The reason is simple. Most plants utilize sunshine to power their sugarmaking factories, and open habitats have plenty of that energy available all summer long.

Wildflowers dwelling in those

habitats can wait a while before they make an appearance. But wildflowers that live in deciduous forests only have the sun’s power available for a relatively brief period in spring before the trees open their leaves, shutting off access to that essential source of energy. For that reason, most woodland wildflowers bloom as soon as the soil is sufficiently warm and before tree leaves open overhead.

As all gardeners know, there are risks in blooming in early spring. Late frosts are possible and even snowfalls are not out of the question. Even if the delicate floral parts escape damage from those conditions, there is

a good chance their insect pollinators will not be active, and without these “surrogate lovers,” fertilization will not take place and no seeds will be produced.

There is risk in blooming early so many of the spring ephemerals (the term applied to the early bloomers) have taken out an insurance policy for seed production. Underground, protected from the environment, violets, hepatica, and other spring ephemerals have ball-like flowers that never open. These contain all of the sexual parts and they self-pollinate, guaranteeing seed production even when the above-ground, showy blooms fail to be pollinated!

Spring wildflowers are much more than a bunch of pretty faces. But you’d better look for them soon, for it won’t be long until they’re gone for another year!

A reminder that this Friday is a double-bill gala in Arnprior: noted historian Rory MacKay talks about the fascinating logging history of the Ottawa Valley and I give a presentation on the changes it brought to our flora and fauna. See mfnc.ca for details. The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca

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!

A weekly guide in legal matters

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

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

Under Canadian law, you can be charged under a number of statutes. For example, prosecutions are commonly brought under the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Motor Vehicle Safety Act, and the Provincial Offences Act.

Contacting a lawyer for advice.

In most cases, after you are charged, you will be released under a recognizance or a promise to appear in court. To ensure that you get all the information necessary to later argue your case, it is best to consult with a lawyer at this early point in the criminal process.
