Work on West Carleton War Memorial in progress Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Work has begun in earnest on the West Carleton War Memorial and an inauguration service is being planned for June 18.

Complications with the site last fall forced a delay in construction and cancelled the Nov. 11 service planned at the memorial. But now that work has begun, there will be "significant milestones" in the vis-

ible progress every week, said Peter Maddocks, secretary and archivist on the plan.

"It’s a huge relief, it’s very exciting. I'm down there every other day taking pictures," he said. "It's fascinating to see people who drive through regularly do a double take. It’s nice."

Even nicer is the fact that local construction companies donated materials and labour for free.

The team working to identify the needs of West Carleton seniors and caregivers has determined the top five priorities that would help rural residents age in place.

Team leads Julie McKercher and Dr. Barry Bruce will discuss the issues and a number of communityproposed solutions at an open meeting Saturday, May 7, from 9 to 11:30 a.m at the West Carleton Community Complex, 5670 Carp Rd. “The event on May 7 is different from the previous ones,” said Bruce, co-founder of the West Carleton Family Health Team and former chief-of-staff of the QueenswayCarleton Hospital.

How to

choose a

Summer Camp Matt Barr

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9. How are different age groups divided?

5. What do you do on rainy days?

Are your facilities air-conditioned?

6. Do the children swim every day?

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

7. Do you offer any discounts?

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

What is your cancellation policy?

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

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

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

Inauguration and commemoration service planned for June 18 At right: Karson/ Aecon begins the re-landscaping of the war memorial site, carving out the basic shape of the curved wall, a main design feature, and making the ground level for the bronze sculpture and memorial plaque.

Continued from page 1

"Karson/Aecon, Adbro Forming and Cavanagh Concrete are generously donating labor and materials for the first part of the build phase," said Maddocks.

"The fact it's all being given for nothing is huge – it’s thousands of dollars ... The level of effort community companies are putting in to get it completed, it’s so generous."

The donations have reduced the financial cost for the Carp BIA, which is co-ordinating the work.

From here on, progress will be rapid and we are looking forward to welcoming the community to see the new site in June.

Below right: from left, Mike Travis, Greg Profitt and Joao Martins, with Adbro Forming, carry out the footing and foundation work for the wall.

STUART HODGE CARP BIA CHAIR

"We couldn’t possibly do this important and exciting work without the incredibly generous and skillful work of these local companies," said Stuart Hodge, Carp BIA chair. "I wish to thank them all for supplying both materials and workforce. We are excited to see their efforts give shape to our vision for this new memorial site."

To date the ground has been leveled, the footing and foundation work has been completed, and concrete is being delivered weekly, said Maddocks. The placement of the curved wall will take place shortly, followed by sloping paths and landscaping, and finally the commemoration plaque and statue of a soldier.

"We’ve come a long way in the last few weeks," said Maddocks. "It’s also incredibly stressful because we want to make sure everything is finished."

An inauguration and commemoration service is being planned for the afternoon of June 18.

The Kanata Legion is providing a colour party and three cadet corps – one for each branch of service. The West Carleton and Almonte legions will also be participating in the event.

"From here on, progress will be rapid and we are looking forward to welcoming the community to see the new site in June," said Hodge.

The memorial plaque will feature the names of local men and women from West Carleton who died for their country and is in the final production stages.

Maddocks said this is the last opportunity for the public to submit a name for the honour roll. There are currently 37 names listed.

For more information or to view the honour roll, visit westcarletonwarmemorial.ca. To submit a name, contact Hodge at stuart@koallo.ca or phone 613-5138860.

Located at the junction of Donald B. Munro Drive and Falldown Lane in Carp, the West Carleton War Memorial was first planned in 2011. The project hit a number of snags over the years, forcing a number of delays.

The site was due to be inaugurated on Nov. 11, 2012, but design issues pushed back the date to the following year. In 2013, the project was still waiting on site approvals and a land transfer. The land was finally transferred in June 2015.

Construction was again delayed last fall when the city said a well on the property, planned to be landscaped into the design, would have to be capped for safety reasons.

Time travel in the Carp Hills with May 7 hikes How do Canadian Shield rocks that are over 1.7 billion years old affect the forest of today?

Why do Trilliums and Butternut trees grow in the forest near the trailhead but are otherwise absent on the rest of the trail? What can lichens and mosses tell you about the rocks they grow on?

Travel through time to discover the Carp Hill’s natural history by joining the nature hikes this spring on the Crazy Horse Trail.

The Friends of the Carp Hills are offering two 90-minute guided hikes on Saturday, May 7.

Plant expert Dr. Owen Clarkin and geologist John McEwen have volunteered their expertise and their time to talk about the natural history of the area and how this affects the terrain

of the Carp Hills and the plants that inhabit the forest, uplands, and wetlands.

Dr. Clarkin’s tour at 10:30 a.m. will focus on the forest ecology, examining how the trees and plants change with the geology along the trail.

At 1:30 p.m., McEwen, geologist and ‘rock whisperer’, will take people on a journey back in time to the turbulent formation of the Carp Hills and read its story in the outcroppings, intrusions, and changing plant life.

The hikes are a fundraiser for the Friends of the Carp Hills. A donation of $20 is requested at check-in to cover the group’s administration and event costs.

Ward 5 West Carleton-March No Mosquito Control Program in Ward 5 This spring Ward 4 started a mosquito control program. Kanata North residents are being charged a tax levy to fund it, which is about $35/year.

Ward 5 is not participating in this program for a couple of reasons. First, the tax levy amount is relatively low for Kanata-North residents due to the small geographic area that needs to be covered. If such a program were implemented in the whole of West Carleton-March the cost would be much greater as we are the largest Ward in the City. Secondly, and most importantly, as the Ward 4 program has only just started, we need to see the type of results achieved before any possible action would ever be taken in West Carleton-March. I will not simply go ahead and charge residents a hefty tax levy before we have proof of its effectiveness in the Ottawa area.

I will be following up with Councillor Wilkinson in the next few months to see how the program is working and the type of feedback she’s getting from her residents.

Questions regarding the railway crossings in Ward 5 I’ve received several inquiries regarding the decommissioned rail crossings in our ward. Residents have noted rough road conditions at some of the rail crossings, and have also asked why school buses are continuing to stop at the crossings even though the tracks are inactive.

CNR owns the rail lines and the tracks that cross the roads. As per Transport Canada Grade Crossing Regulations and Grade Crossing Standards the signs must remain in place until the rails are removed from the road crossing. Until the rail crossing signage is removed, school buses must comply with the rules of the road and will continue to stop at all rail crossings regardless of whether the rail line is active or not.

CNR has indicated that this removal work will be completed before the fall of 2016, at which time the City can then remove the signage.

There are rough road conditions at some of the locations where the decommissioned tracks cross roads. City crews have attempted to temporarily repair these locations, but as these areas are still technically CNR property, the City is limited to the amount of repair work that can be done.

Key priorities identified for aging in place Continued from page 1

“We’re going to focus more on solutions, moving things forward,” said Bruce.

“There have been some solutions proposed and we want to get reactions to those.”

McKercher, rural community developer at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, and Bruce hosted a number of workshops and facilitated one-on-one interviews to hear from residents about what gaps and barriers they face when trying to access services in ward 5.

More than 330 people took part in the discussions held throughout March and April.

“It’s a testament to when something is hitting a nerve; people respond,” said McKercher.

The priorities were narrowed down to five key services that arose numerous times: • Affordable and accessible transportation • Caregiving: care unit and support • Respite and adult day programs (ADP) • Housing and household ser-

vices • Home care (Community Care Access Centre) Currently, the few services that are provided use urban or suburban models, which just don’t work in rural areas, said McKercher.

“It’s so devoid of any services that you may as well be on the moon,” she said. “We are so acutely aware that whatever solution is implemented (must be) specifically tailored to that rural experience.”

Which is why McKercher and Bruce are hoping to attract a large number of residents to the May 7 meeting to talk solutions.

“Some solutions are not very detailed so we’d like people to say, ‘Here’s more.’ Some aren’t practical in their current form, but we’d like people to say how they could be done,” said Bruce.

“We’re hoping everyone who attends will have the chance to address and react to the proposed solutions and to propose their own.”

Forming an “anchor service” could be a big step in the right direction, they both said,

and an adult day program could fit that bill.

“We’ve come up with quite a long list of things that could be programmatically combined in an adult day program that creates a mini Heaven on earth for people who are either caregivers or people who are receiving care,” said Bruce.

“To have this be a positive thing it has to be something that everybody likes to attend and gets something out of. We just have to think about it and harvest some of the local talent.”

A number of organizations will attend the meeting to offer input, including numerous city departments, Community Care Access Centre, Royal Ottawa Hospital staff, personal support workers and more.

Registration is not required, but it is appreciated. The WOCRC can also help with transportation if requests are made by Friday, April 29.

For more information, to register, or to request transportation assistance, email McKercher at mckercher@ wocrc.ca or call 613-591-3686, ext. 498.

‘If it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Residents, merchants and the Ottawa Police Association were among the crowd that urged the police services board on April 25 to put the brakes on a plan to rejig the way officers are deployed.

The plan, called the service initiative program update, had a controversial element that includes reallocating resources like beat cops, community policing functions and district traffic functions to a “front line functional model.”

Acting Supt. Mark Ford, who presented the strategy, said it was about reducing the demand on officers.

“Our policing responsibilities will be carried out,” Ford said. “It’s about how we can be more efficient co-ordinating front line engagements.”

The plan got a failing grade from members of the public who spoke about the benefits of community policing in public engagement and crime reduction.

“If it ain’t broke,” don’t fix it,” said Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans.

Deans added she understands the need for Ottawa police to look at more efficient ways to deliver service, but didn’t understand the plan to “dismantle” the community-policing model, which she said was one of the most effective parts of the system.

Deans also said she thought public consultation was coming way too late in the process.

Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof expressed frustration that the association hasn’t been invited to the table to discuss the proposed changes.

He said the service initiative as its proposed, could face some challenges with respect to the collective agreement.

Cheryl Parrott spoke to the board on behalf of a number of community organizations, including the Hintonburg Community Association. She said the neighbourhood went from having the highest number of service calls to the lowest – thanks in part to the community police officer.

She suggested the public was understandably nervous about changes, since so little information is available.

ACTING SUPT. MARK FORD “Five months to implementation doesn’t seem like a lot of time,” she said, adding residents are worried about the loss of their community police officer.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said as a councillor and a resident, he sees the value of the community police officer.

“Things like crack houses don’t go away after one service call,” he said.

“Sometimes it can take years, which is why it’s important to have specialized knowledge of the area” Leiper said the time to talk to the public is now.

Lucie Marleau, the Neighbourhood Watch Program Coordinator for Vanier, said the community police officer helped to find captains for a lot of the “dismantled” Neighbourhood Watch programs in the area.

“Without him, they would be in tatters,” she said.

Jasna Jennings, the executive director of the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area, said with the complex mix of retail, shelters and social service organizations, there needs to be a single point of contact, with knowledge of the area.

“There are so many players, officers have to have a profound knowledge of the area,” she said.

Peggy DuCharme, executive director of the Downtown Rideau BIA, said that without a community police officer, there’s the danger of public apathy and unwillingness to report.

“You may see less calls for service,” she said.

Skof echoed the concerns of

previous speakers.

“We hope the community understands that this will mean different service for areas like Vanier, Hintonburg and the market,” he said.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said it seemed like the plan was a done deal, and thought the public should have the chance to engage in some meaningful consultation.

Fleury, who has been vocal about the police services’ plan to stop responding to bylaw noise complaints unless there’s a threat to public safety, said he didn’t want to be blindsided like the community and protective services committee was upon hearing that officers would no longer respond to noise complaints.

Board chair Eli El-Chantiry took exception to the bylaw example, and said there’s been talk of stopping the practice of responding to noise complaints since 2013.

“To come here and say we haven’t heard this before is unfair,” he said.

But Fleury said it’s been hard for councillors who don’t sit on the board to get information.

Ford said a strategy for public consultation will come out in May. He added that police hope to role out the service initiative program in 2017.

Code of conduct should not target dissent

O

ttawa Carleton District School Board chairwoman Shirley Seward and all but two trustees have finally got their code of conduct for school board trustees ready to bring the hammer down on those who don’t play well with others.

There was really only one holdout when the board’s newly developed code of conduct was passed at a committee of the whole meeting, and that was trustee Donna Blackburn. The other trustee who didn’t support the code abstained from voting.

The board takes an official vote on the matter on April 26.

The fact Blackburn didn’t support the code after she made an attempt to make sure such a code could not be used to silence dissent was defeated is not surprising considering Blackburn, and some of the comments she has made in the past, have rubbed many of her colleagues the wrong way.

Having a code of conduct for school board trustees seems perfectly reasonable, but the devil is in the details.

And one detail of this code is the rather open

ended definition of conduct the code will police.

Blackburn says she is worried the code will be used as a tool to silence dissent, and despite what Seward says, that’s a valid concern. “It’s the same set of behaviours we expect from our staff and our students,� Seward said.

But there is a big difference between what is expected of staff and students and what should be expected of trustees who are elected representatives of the people.

Yes it is perfectly reasonable to expect trustees to treat each other with respect, and have rules governing such things as harassment.

But anything that even hints at being a means of stifling dissent is problematic.

If Trustee A thinks a decision of Trustee B is wrong, they have every right, and in a democracy one can argue an obligation, to speak up and say so regardless of what other trustees think.

And considering that Blackburn’s motion to clearly state that a difference of opinion is not subject to some code of conduct test, was defeated, that is a worrying sign of how this code of conduct can be used in the future.

Safe injection sites might meet everyone’s needs

I

t’s easy to understand why many people, including the mayor of Ottawa and the city’s chief of police, oppose a supervised injection site in the city.

The idea goes against all logic: you want people to stop being addicted to drugs, but you provide a place where they can have access to them.

It’s hard to get your head around that, yet many people have been able to do so, including reputable people in both the health and law enforcement fields, in Ottawa as well as elsewhere.

They argue, most importantly, that safe injection sites save lives.

They also point out that safe injection sites save money that would be spent dealing with people who overdose on the street or contract HIV and hepatitis C

The arguments are persuasive and they are backed up by examples, such as in Vancouver, where the safe injection site has worked well. But to move ahead with the plan in Ottawa influential people have to make the logical leap, accepting what seems to them a counter-intuitive proposal.

But North American society has gone the counter-intuitive route before.

crime by ending the prohibition of alcohol. Surely at the time many would have argued for tougher enforcement, rather than the legalizing of alcohol, but alcohol was indeed legalized. You wouldn’t say all alcohol problems were eliminated, but many were.

And of course we’re moving in the same direction with the federal government’s plans to legalize the use and sale of marijuana.

Lots of people oppose that, fearing it will make the drug too readily available, particularly to young people. But proponents take the opposite position — namely, that legalizing marijuana will make it easier to control the supply and distribution and possibly even reduce consumption.

The argument for safe injection sites is surely as logical as that, perhaps more so.

At the core of each of these isSales Manager: -FTMJF 0TCPSOF MFTMJF PTCPSOF!NFUSPMBOE DPN "SOQSJPS 8$ DISPLAY ADVERTISING: $ISJTUJOF +BSSFU "SOQSJPS 8$ DISJTUJOF KBSSFUU!NFUSPMBOE DPN 4UFQIBOJF +BNJFTPO 3FOGSFX TUFQIBOJF KBNJFTPO!NFUSPMBOE DPN (JTFMF (PEJO ,BOBUB .JLF 4UPPEMFZ 4UJUUTWJMMF "OOJF %BWJT 0UUBXB 8FTU CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: /BODZ 4NJUI 4IBSPO 3VTTFMM THE DEADLINE FOR CLASSIFIED AND DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 9:30AM

sues is the notion of harm reduction. We are stuck with a social problem — alcohol abuse, drug addiction — and we can’t eliminate it, try as we might. So we seek to minimize the damage. We regulate the sale of alcohol and impose certain restrictions on its consumption. Similar procedures will be put in place with regard to marijuana. The safe injection site idea follows similar logic.

Ottawa’s mayor has argued, and he is not alone, that what is needed is not a safe injection site but more drug treatment centres, and that’s a good point.

But the difficulty is getting addicts to those treatment centres in the first place.

Perhaps the clinching argument is this: A safe injection site can also be a place where addicts are offered help from trained professionals to deal with their addictions.

Not all of them will take advantage of that, but some will.

Addicts don’t want to be addicts; 99 per cent of the time it’s not fun. But they need to get to a place away from the street where professional help and advice is available. Paradoxically, that place could be the same place they go for their injections.

To paraphrase what they say in the movies, it’s so counter-intuitive it might just work.

Jack was too quick for him. I guess Donkey hasn’t really found manners and chivalry in his new home after all.

Donkey is king of the castle in his new barnyard. There is a cow in there with him, a calf, Jack the burro, and a couple of sheep, including Gracie, his best friend from our farm. So Donk is really the biggest animal on that side of the farm.

I’m glad he isn’t in with the big, beautiful horses. That would just make him feel inadequate.

I think he is very happy in his new home, and his farmers sure take good care of him. He even got his hooves trimmed – a feat we never attempted.

When he lived with us, Donkey used to sand off his extra hoof length on the rocky pasture. In his current setting there are no rocks,

so his hooves grow long and curl up at the ends.

When I heard they got him trimmed, I thought that must have been a very brave farrier indeed.

Actually, I was told, it was a brave farrier, a squeeze stockade, and a vet with three doses of tranquilizer.

Ha ha! But after that pedicure he was stepping high and pretty.

I hope he appreciated the efforts they went to, to make him comfortable.

Gracie is still her adorable, fluffy, vacuous self. Never have I seen a sheep stand so still to be petted and scratched, like a dog. She is so trusting and loving and I’m so happy we were able to find her such a fantastic home where she is safe and well cared for.

Gracie isn’t pregnant this year, but most of the others aren’t either, so it’s obviously the ram slacking off on the job and not her fault. Or maybe there is something lacking in the soil or water this season that isn’t making for fertile conditions.

I think it’s been over a year since I last visited Donkey in his new home. I went and saw him last weekend and I’m wondering if he remembers me.

He was excited to see me, of course, but he is excited to see everyone who takes the time to walk back to the barnyard for a visit. He has learned that they almost always have carrots in their pockets.

The Triple B Ranch is running some kind of petting zoo over there. They get all kinds of adoring visitors packing treats.

I brought Donkey an apple, in the hope that he would remember me. His sense of smell is not faltering in his old age. He recognized that scent instantly and started craning his neck over the fence in an attempt to reach my pockets.

When I held out half the apple for him, he carefully took it between his teeth and I told him what a nice gentle boy he was. Then I fed the other half of the apple to the little burro Jack.

Suddenly Donkey’s ears went back and his evil side came out.

We gave up trying to get the labouring cows into the barn before they give birth. We aren’t very good at determining who should go into confinement.

Once they are in they make quite a mess of the place. They hate being locked up, and it’s so warm out now, we aren’t really worried about the calves freezing to death. So that’s a good thing.

Do what’s fair for rural residents

To the editor: I was very interested in Shirley Dolan’s notes published on page 9 of the West Carleton Review, April 14.

I share her views as do most rural residents. After attending a forum on the subject in Navan, I felt it necessary to put my thoughts on paper.

I offer the following in response to and support of her writing.

It would appear from all options of the City’s proposed drainage fees that there is a misunderstanding of the differences in the infrastructures, demand on the infrastructures, maintenance requirements, and capital cost and operational costs of the drainage systems in the rural and urban areas.

There also appears to be a misunderstanding and lack of consideration for the costs of drainage in the rural areas and the difference in the contribution made by homeowners in the maintenance of the rural and urban

drainage systems.

The proposal by the City that essentially suggests the rural and urban drainage rates should be equal and the initiative on the bases of the rural residents not contributing to the drainage costs is further evidence of a misunderstanding of the differences in the urban and the rural systems.

The City is proposing that a drainage fee be allocated to all Ottawa residents on the basis of “fairness and equity” with the pretext that currently urban residents pay for drainage in their water charges while rural residents not served by City water make no contribution at all to the drainage costs.

The inference being that urban residents are subsidizing rural costs.

There appears to be a gross misunderstanding of the multitude of costs that rural residents endure for services that are enjoyed primarily by urban residents.

These services are very

minimally represented or non-existent in the rural areas and for which rural residents have made a significant contribution in their tax base or fees since amalgamation.

Just a few examples include; community centres, parks, recreation facilities, sports complexes, library services, 30 per cent lower electricity rates, snow removal and public transit services.

Rural residents also contribute in their tax base to service the City’s debt load that has been accumulated to pay for many substantial capital projects that benefit almost exclusively the urban community.

There is by far sufficient evidence to suggest that the efforts on this endeavour would be better spent on understanding Ottawa’s rural community and its requirements and finally doing what is right to level the playing field and creating true “fairness and equity.”

Old Carp Road’s historic Maple Arch threatened Editor’s note: The following article was penned by Carp Ridge resident Norman Hallendy, a retired public servant and expert on the Canadian Arctic. He was awarded the Royal Canadian Geographical Society’s 2001 Gold Medal, which recognizes significant achievement in the field of geography.

The Maple Arch on the Old Carp Road has a long history in the local annals of Carp.

The Old Carp Road was in fact known in earlier times as The Old Coach Road, which connected the White Pine lumbering operations in the Arnprior area with the lumber barons offices in Ottawa (Booth, McLaren, etc.).

The early recorded history of Carp attests to the road s importance as a stopover for the stage coaches traveling to and from Ottawa (Bytown).

Contiguous with Maple Arch is the mysterious Ghost Hill where horses would often shy, causing problems for their drivers.

Before old Sternie Cox died, he told me of the fright that he and Mac Falls had when approaching Ghost Hill one evening. Their horse bolted, which caused them to drop a perfectly good bottle of Booth’s Gin. Between Maple Arch and Ghost Hill, about 300 feet off to the left of the current road, are a small group of unknown graves, which are now within the bounds of Loch March.

At the end of Maple Arch, at the corner of Old Carp Road and Huntmar, was an ancient log cabin once inhabited by wayfarers. Its last occupants were a poor destitute family of squatters, which I photographed in 1957.

The original builder of the log cabin is not known to me, standing at the end of Maple Arch before the building of the Gourlay Mansion.

Some of the oldtimers I knew when I arrived in the Carp area in 1956 said that the cabin was once a watering stop for the horses who drew their loads to Bytown.

Some said that Maple Arch’s origin began with a few maples being planted to pro-

SUBMITTED

The Maple Arch on Old Carp Road has delighted travellers for many years, but some people want the road widened to the detriment of the arch. vide shade for when watering the horses.

I’m not sure when Maple Arch was planted, but I’m sure that our friends at OHTA can determine fairly accurately when that time was.

Apparently the Gourlays added to the effort, having recognized that no such beautiful natural feature exists anywhere in the entire area.

Maple Arch was a feature appreciated by worshipers who traveled the Old Coach Road to their respective churches in Dunrobin, March and Carp.

So attached to our early history is Maple Arch that it was often the backdrop of many wedding photographs.

Now, it is natural beauty living in the shadow of the axe.

Maple Arch is threatened by those newcomers to our area who would like to see it destroyed, the road widened and traffic increased so as to give them quicker access to their work place and shopping plazas.

Many areas in close vicinity of Maple Arch, once rich farmland and natural forest, have been levelled, scoured, their granite hills ground into gravel, their streams expunged and their wildlife decimated.

One now sees an ever increasing landscape of black roads, endless tracts of vinyl clad houses and reads accounts of overburdened sewers.

One can argue that such is the cost of progress. It can be further argued that it is a necessity.

The sad truth is that to an ever increasing population heritage protection is irrelevant. Hope that reason will prevail is also irrelevant because of the importance of expediency.

Maple Arch is a minuscule special place in terms of the scale of development surrounding it. As you can well appreciate, Maple Arch is not some concrete thing erected with some vain purpose in mind. Maple Arch is a living thing. It is rooted in our heritage. It is an exquisite reminder of natural time we call the seasons.

In autumn, it is transformed into vivid canopy of sheer beauty, which no architecture anywhere can mimic.

In spring, when its maple keys are silently whirling through air on their descent to earth, it reminds us that the arch is in fact a refuge for small wildlife as well as plant life that ranges from stately trees, delicate wildflowers to the mysteriously beautiful family of rare Bryophyta, those small, simple plants that include the mosses and liverworts.

Maple Arch must be protected, not for some sentimental reason, but because of its heritage and natural significance. The act to protect this tiny ecosystem for future generations must be pursued with the same ardour of those who ignore or wish tondestroy it.

The sad truth is that Maple Arch is dying.

Highway 17 crash claims life in construction zone Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

A man from Addington Highlands Township is identified as the fatal victim in Monday morning’s Highway 17 collision.

William Daniel Milton, 42, suffered fatal injuries after a 2010 Jeep Patriot travelling westbound crossed the centre line and struck two workers near Arnprior at about 11 a.m. Milton was transported

to hospital by air ambulance.

The other worker, unnamed as of Tuesday afternoon, suffered serious injuries and was transported by paramedics to hospital.

The Jeep also struck two vehicles, a white 2004 Intel 94 (with attached trailer and hydraulic drill and compressor) and a white 2008 Chevrolet Express van.

OPP continue to investigate what caused the Jeep to cross the line. Its male driver

and female passenger were transported by paramedics to hospital with minor injuries.

The area has many BEI Construction workers and subcontractors involved with the twinning of the highway.

The westbound speed limit drops significantly as the area is where the four lanes of Highway 417 narrow into two.

At the site during the noon hour on April 25, an ambulance pulled away slowly

with lights on but no siren.

Another was stationed near a black vehicle with its front crumpled in. A yellow construction helmet lay on the ground.

Nearby was construction

equipment, at least eight halfton trucks with no markings, two OPP cruisers, and fire trucks diverting and cordoning off traffic. Workers in bright yellow construction apparel stood in the distance

watching intently.

OPP Const. Helen Paterson is investigating under the direction of the Office of the Regional Coroner, with assistance from OPP Technical Collision Investigators.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, April 28, 2016 15

Where have all the swallows gone?

It seems that only a few years ago swallows were common sights in our area.

Every barn and bridge provided shelter for the mud nests of Barn Swallows, and the musical chortles of Purple Martins rose incessantly from oversized birdhouses along the waterfront.

During their August migration, swallows gathered to roost in such great numbers that tree branches bent under their weight. So many swallows – estimates ranged from 10,000 to 100,000 - roosted in August in Pembroke that the city declared itself the swallow capital of Canada.

By the mid-1990s, only a few years after promotional signs were erected at Pembroke, swallows began to vanish from that area.

Several reasons were given for the disappearance: an increase in Merlins, small falcons that eat birds, was one; development next to the swallow roost was another.

However, at that time something much more insidious was happening. Swallow populations all through North America were on the decline.

The decline was first noted in the 1980s and accelerated through

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way the ensuing two decades. In 2011, COSEWIC (the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada) assigned Barn Swallows, at one time one of the most common birds in Canada, a national status of “Threatened,” a status assigned to species that are likely to become endangered if the factors affecting their numbers are not reversed.

In Nova Scotia, Barn Swallows have already been assigned a provincial status of Endangered.

So why are swallows so alarmingly on the decline? While no one reason has been yet identified, several factors appear to be at play.

Swallows forage on flying insects. Other birds that share a similar diet, birds such as Eastern Whip-poor-wills, Chimney Swifts, and certain flycatchers, are also becoming less common.

Thus, one factor would be that flying insects – the food of these birds – are less common. And there has been support for this theory. Most alarmingly, neonicitinoids, insecticides now used widely throughout the world, are being linked to declines in aquatic insect larvae (which become flying insects), and thus indirectly to bird declines.

Another factor that has been implicated is that the peak time of activity for flying insects has shifted with climate change. This would have serious effects if the peak of insect activity shifted away from the time ravenous young swallows appear in the nest. Less food for baby swallows would result in lower survival rates and fewer swallows.

Additionally, the birds most seriously in decline are all long-distance migrants that spend winter in Central and South America. Habitat destruction and excessive use of pesticides could well be hitting

MICHAEL RUNTZ

Once a common sight all through our area, Barn Swallows might one day be classified as an Endangered Species. insect-eating birds at the southern end of their migration.

Thousands of years ago swallows captured the eye of the famous Greek philosopher Aristotle. In his day, the annual disappearance of swallows in the fall and their sudden reappearance in spring was a mystery. But Aristotle astutely observed that swallows in spring suddenly appeared in large

numbers flying low over muddy waters.

He less astutely concluded that swallows, therefore, spend winter buried in the mud.

If only the disappearance of these once familiar birds could be so easily explained today.

Dog-strangling vines form dense stands that overwhelm and crowd out native plants and young trees.

puccino comes back into the picture. An associate professor at Carleton University, she teaches a variety of courses in the general areas of ecology and evolution.

That’s where the dog-strangling vine first caught her attention.

The vine is believed to have come to North America from Ukraine in the 1800s, so Cappuccino’s colleagues went looking for insects on the plants there. They found caterpillars feeding on the vine.

That was the start of …

Sorry, our story stops here. But you can learn the rest from Cappuccino in person on Tuesday, May 3 when she speaks to the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club on ‘Dog-strangling Vine: understanding its invasiveness and controlling its spread’.

DSV, the dreaded “bully in the schoolyard” - threatening, throwing their weight around, putting a chokehold on those in their way, taking over the territory.

And an alien species to boot! Yet these thugs look no different than their victims, who suffer in silence and, too often, succumb to the pressure.

They may be in your backyard or garden. DSVDog-strangling vine.

In recent years invasive species such as Giant Hogweed and other members of the carrot family (like Wild Parsnip) have gotten more local publicity as they have been spreading in our area and can pose real health hazards for humans.

Yet back in 2003, a CBC article noted that biologists in Ontario were predicting it could cause more strife to wildlife than purple loosestrife.

“It’s worse than loosestrife because it’s so incredibly difficult to get rid of and because of some of the plant communities it is invading,” said biologist Naomi Cap-

puccino at the time.

Spring forward to the present where DSV is one of the most invasive alien plants in Ontario, overtaking green spaces around the province and elsewhere, including rare habitats.

Non-native species are now considered by some experts to be the second most important threat to biodiversity, after habitat destruction.

Ontario’s globally rare alvars are especially susceptible.

DSV also impacts wildlife that relies on the displaced native species for food or breeding, says the Nature Conservancy of Canada: “The monarch, a species at risk in Canada, lays its eggs exclusively on some native milkweed species. These are the only plants that monarch caterpillars have evolved to eat.

“Some monarchs have been observed laying their eggs on dog-strangling vine plants. Caterpillars hatched on dog-strangling vine plants die because they don’t have the food they need.”

DSV has no natural enemies and is resistant to traditional pesticides.

Royal Oak planted by Prince of Wales receives provincial recognition The Royal Oak at the Galilee Retreat Centre in Arnprior has been recognized as a heritage tree under Trees Ontario’s Ontario Heritage Tree Program.

Michelle Reis-Amores, director of the Galilee Centre, and Chris Grubisic, a member of the conservation committee of the Macnamara Field Naturalists Club, were both “thrilled” and “delighted” on receiving the news Thursday, April 16.

They noted it was an exciting announcement for the area, just in time to celebrate Earth Day April 22.

“We are on the map again as a place of interest for all lovers of the natural environment,” they said.

Last fall Grubisic sent details of the historic oak to CHRIS GRUBISIC/SUBMITTED Trees Ontario to apply for Members of the Macnamara Field Naturalists Club admire the Royal Oak last August be- the honour.

tage trees throughout the province. Heritage trees are identified and assessed based on their age, size, appearance, and most importantly their cultural and historical significance.

The identification of these trees will enable Trees Ontario and community-minded organizations to locate potential native seed sources of legacy trees. Collecting the seeds will ensure native stock is grown and available for future planting.

ROYAL OAK

The following information about the Royal Oak can be found in the Arnprior and MacNab-Braeside Archives: “In 1860 the Royal Oak was planted as a sapling by the 19-year-old Prince of Wales, eldest son of Queen Victoria, who later became Edward VII, on his tour to New York and Canada.

“After he laid the cornerstone of the new Parliament Buildings in Bytown, the Prince travelled by steam-

boat and birchbark canoe, which took part in a race, to Arnprior, known for its lumber industry. The Prince lunched at ‘The Hill’, the home of Daniel McLachlin, one of the lumber barons of the area.

“It was recorded that the Prince enjoyed ‘an elaborate luncheon’ before planting the oak sapling, which had been made ready by the head gardener, in a position overlooking Lac Des Chats, on the Ottawa River.”

‘The Hill’ is now the Galilee Retreat Centre.

Each year on Earth Day everyone can celebrate by planting a tree and leaving a living legacy, just as the Prince did 166 years ago.

Sabine and Patrick Couture, along with Diego and Roxy, are hosting a road rally and May 14 to raise funds for local animal rescues. ly sign up. It was really great for the kids; they had a great time,” said Sabine. “The kids were better at certain things than the parents.”

The inaugural event raised $1,600 for the top three rescues out of the 11

that participated. This year, the Coutures have set things up a little differently so all participating organizations receive some funding.

“Fifty per cent of the money raised by and for a rescue goes back to the

rescue and the other 50 per cent goes into the pot,” said Sabine. “This way every rescue gets some funds, not just the winners.”

Teams of two can register for the rally – or two parents and their children. The cost

do with very little money,” said Sabine.

Registration for the rally begins at 8:30 a.m. on May 14 at Resting Paws, 3395 Torbolton Ridge Rd. People and their pets are invited to an open house and barbecue on the grounds from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. the day of the rally. A number of local pet-related businesses will have tables – and furry friends – at the event.

“There’s lots of rescues with animals,” said Denee.

“There’s lots of suppliers giving out samples. And all the money raised goes back to the rescues.”

Empties for Paws will be at the open house, collecting wine, spirit and beer bottles, as well as mini kegs, small appliances and electronics, kitchen pans, aluminum pans/plates and pop cans.

The funds collected help a number of local rescues.

Resting Paws second annual road rally will challenge the brain and the body in support of local animal rescues on May 14.

Patrick and Sabine Couture, owners of Resting Paws Pet Cemetery and Crematorium, will send participants on a scavenger hunt throughout West Carleton where players will have to complete various mental, physical, and most importantly, fun challenges.

“Along the way from one stop to the next there are certain things they have to look for,” said Sabine. “I know last year everyone had a great time, including us. It’s why we’re doing it again.”

There will be seven challenges in total, with six stops spaced throughout ward 5.

It’s not a timed race from point to point. The only aspects that are timed are the challenges, said Sabine.

The deadline to register is May 5.

“We are going to have a car in to race,” said Tanya Dennee, co-founder of Pet Resource Bank. “We won last year so we’re hoping, it would be really wonderful, if we could win again this year.”

The resource bank for pets and their owners helps people keep their furry friends at home instead of having to surrender them to shelters. The not-for-profit offers help with feeding, grooming and walking for those experiencing financial difficulty.

“Per year, we need about $2,000 – that keeps us going,” said Dennee. “We can feed whoever, we’ve never had to say no.”

The Coutures said all the animal rescues manage to do a lot for the community with very little funding.

‘Seeing the difference it makes in their lives I want to do what I can’: volunteer Hike for Hospice sets fundraising goal of $120,000 Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Barbara Davidson has many reasons to Hike for Hospice, but first and foremost is to help raise the funds Hospice Care Ottawa needs to offer its services to those with a life-limiting illness, and their families, for free.

“The fact that all the services are free of charge – I don’t think people are aware of that,” said the South Keys resident. “I want to ensure that we can raise the money to keep our services available. It’s just getting the word out.”

Davidson volunteers in the residential wing of the May Court Hospice, which offers beds and palliative hospice care to those at the end of their lives. She learned about hospice when her friend and neighbour was admitted to the residential wing.

“I felt myself being pulled back,” said Davidson.

After her friend died, she waited the required two years, then applied for the volunteer training course.

“There was no turning back,” Davidson said. “You walk out of there and your day is made because you’ve made a difference in somebody’s life and that’s worth its weight in gold.”

She often just sits with the clients.

“The families are so appreciative. Just experiencing

it and seeing the difference it makes in their lives, I want to do what I can,” said Davidson, who also mentors new volunteers and sits on the residence volunteer advisory committee.

“There’s just something magical about it. When you walk through those doors and no matter how I’m feeling that day – whether I’m tired, whether I’ve had a bad day – I walk through those doors and I’ve have a cleanse.”

The shift that remains most vivid in her mind was one where she sat quietly holding the hand of a gentleman as he passed.

“That man did not die alone,” she said. “It was the most meaningful shift ever.”

This year, she’ll walk in her sixth Hike for Hospice, along with her daughter Laura Peters and some of her friends. Her team, the Go Getters, have already raised close to $3,000.

Since she began participating, Davidson has raised about $12,000 for Hospice Care Ottawa.

“Any part of hospice care makes such a difference for the person who has the illness and their family members,” she said. “I consider it both an honour and a privilege to share the end of life journey with residents and their families.” $120,000 GOAL

This year’s Hike for Hospice will be held at the Carleton University Field House, with the five-kilometre walk meandering along the area’s scenic trails. The May 1 hike also serves to

kick off National Hospice Palliative Care Week, which runs May 1 to 7.

The goal is to raise $120,000, said Hospice Care Ottawa Executive Director Lisa Sullivan.

Government funding still only makes up about half of the not-for-profit’s operating costs, said Sullivan. Hospice Care Ottawa relies on public donations and fundraising to make up the difference.

The free programs and services include end-of-life residential beds in two locations, at-home visits, day programs for those living with life-limiting illnesses, and support for caregivers. The fundraising goal of $120,000 is equivalent to 300 days of individual residential care, said Sullivan.

“With our aging population, demand for our services continues to increase,” she said. “Special events like the Hike for Hospice help us raise the $1.8 million we require annually to continue to provide our services free of charge.”

Having expanded to four hospice locations across Ottawa – the May Court in Ottawa South, the RuddyShenkman in Kanata, Central West on Carling, and La Maison de l’Est in Orleans – the new hike site at Carleton University will bring all supporters, volunteers and staff together in one central location for the first time in the event’s 14-year history, said Sullivan.

In the past, two hikes were held on the same day: one at the May Court and the second at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice.

Registration for the May

1 hike begins at 8:30 a.m. at the Carleton University Field House, located at 1125 Colonel By Dr. The opening ceremonies take place at 9:40 a.m., followed by the hike at 10 a.m.

There is no fee to participate but people are encouraged to get pledges to help reach the fundraising goal.

Parking is free and dogs are welcome on the hike. The Bronson Avenue entrance will be the only access point to the campus that day due to road closures.

“It’s an opportunity to enjoy the lovely spring weather and bring families and supporters together,” said Sullivan.

Following the hike there will be live entertainment, music, bouncies for the children and activities. For more information on Hike for Hospice, to register for the event or to donate, visit hospicecareottawa.ca.

Volunteers offer Hands for Hope Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland

Hands for Hope, a group of volunteers from across the city, is hosting a Spring Fling Womanless Fashion Show to raise funds for the Hope Living residence, operated by Shepherds of Good Hope.

The Kanata residence, which provides supportive living to about 90 residents, is in need of funds to repair damage caused by a flood and to update its existing infrastructure to better serve its residents. New or gently used towels and large plastic tote bins are also high on the organization’s wish list, said Alice Holst, a

Kanata resident and volunteer with Hands for Hope.

“Our main goal is to raise funds for the building needs,” she said. “We just want to help with whatever projects they have in mind.”

Hope Living has slowly been updating the residence bit by bit, replacing floors and renovating bathrooms to make them more accessible. An

emergency roof repair was done after a major leak caused damage around the building.

Hearing about the needs of the facility, Holst and Ruth Cameron – both long-time volunteers in their communities – reached out to their extensive networks to see what could be done and Hands for Hope, a group of about 20 volunteers, was formed.

While brainstorming fundraising ideas, the volunteers settled on a womanless fashion show after seeing

OPEN HOUSE SUNDAYS 2 – 4 P.M.

the success of a similar event in Richmond. “The pictures in the paper were just hilarious,” said Cameron, a Richmond resident. “I thought, ‘Now that’s something at the grassroots level that’s kind of different.’”

Six local men in the community stepped up to model – including West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. They’ll be showcasing women’s spring looks with all the accessories, as well as sleepwear and evening wear.

The event is already garnering a large following, said Cameron, and tickets have been selling quickly.

The Spring Fling will feature a sit-down dinner, music, silent and live auctions, as well as the fashion show. The event takes place Saturday, May 7, beginning at 5:30 p.m. at St. Isidore Parish Hall, 1135 March Rd. Tickets are $30 and all proceeds will go to Hope Living. Tickets must be purchased in advance and cost $30. To purchase tickets contact the church office at 613-592-1961.

A large storage room located on Hope Living’s main floor has been turned into a free boutique for residents to shop at. Holst and Cameron recognized the potential of the space and spent time organizing the area with donations of new and gently used clothing, shoes, accessories and outerwear.

The Hope Living Boutique opened two months ago and offers free, in-season clothes to those living in the residence. Open twice a week for two hours, the residents queue up to browse the racks.

“Many will come in and sit and talk. One of the front line workers said this was the nicest thing ever done for Shepherds,” said Cameron.

Barb Ryder, a volunteer in Kanata, does all the alterations for free, and others volunteer to work when the shop is open. Right now, the boutique is in need of spring and summer wear for men and women of all ages in sizes small to 3X. It is also collecting toiletry items.

“We try to seek out whatever is needed,” said Holst. The boutique was in the process of outfitting a bride and groom who were planning to be married this summer.

Cameron has a large bin on her front porch, located at 118 Royal York St., where people can leave donations for the boutique. Holst has a similar set up at 35 Peregrine Cres. in Bridlewood.

“We’re delighted to be supporting this wonderful organization in our own community,” said Holst. “It’s rewarding work. The big thing for me is just to keep it going.”

Hands for Hope is also looking to bring in musical entertainment for the residents. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Cameron at 613-838-5223.

Awesome Author winner hails from Carp Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Bethany Scherr is one awesome author. For the third year in a row, the 12-yearold received an award from the Ottawa Public Library for her short story writing.

She placed third at this year’s Awesome Authors Awards in the 12 to 14 age category for her short story, ‘To Reach Journey’s End’, a survival story about a pack of wolves that are forced to relocate. She was up against about 70 other submissions in her category.

“It gives me motivation to write,” said Bethany about the award. “(Writing) teaches you how to express your mind, be creative and express what’s in your imagination.”

Her submission last year received a second-place finish, and the year before she received an honourable mention. Her pieces have been published in three Pot-Pourri books, which contains the works of all the winners.

Home schooled in Carp, Bethany and her mother Jolene spend a lot of time at the local library. They read, research and take part in the various programs offered at the Carp branch.

Bethany began attending the toddler story-time, before moving on to the youth book club, and the March break and summer programs as she’s grown older.

All the librarians who have worked with Bethany contributed to her love of reading and writing, said Jolene. “(The library) provides things for every different stage,” said Jolene. “It’s not just the programs, it’s the librarians’ excitement. It’s their desire to share their desire for reading, which springboards to a love of writing.”

For each story she writes, Bethany does a lot of thinking beforehand about what she wants to say.

“I’m thinking forever, but when I do have the general idea of the story, it usually just all comes out,” she said.

She enjoys writing stories about animals. She’s written about horses, huskies and now, the wolves.

She researched the Canis lupus at the library before sitting down to write her story at home. The tale follows a pack of wolves and the barriers they face as they try to find a new home after humans destroy their old hunting grounds.

“I learned a lot about their behaviour,” said Bethany about her research.

“I’ve seen her writing grow,” said Jolene. “The older she’s gotten the more she researches. It gives her writing a little bit more weight.”

Lori Fielding, supervising librarian, said they’re all very proud of Bethany and her accomplishments.

“Especially three years in a row, that’s really outstanding,” said Fielding, who promotes the contest at the West Carleton library branches.

“The libraries are all about literacy; it’s a chance

for them to showcase their talents,” she said. “Our goal here at the library is to instill a love of reading and writing.”

Bethany has a little advice to anyone who wants to submit their own stories. Keep a journal for story ideas (she has several she wants to turn into novels because they’re too complex for short stories), do the research on the subject and don’t be intimidated by other people.

“I just do the work. I don’t think about others criticizing,” she said. “After the first time I won, it really encouraged me to keep going.”

Bethany plans to continue to enter the Awesome Authors contest and already has an idea for her next piece of work.

“It’s a war story about a soldier,” she said.

And seeing your own story published in a book (or three) on the library’s shelves is “pretty cool” too, she said.

Carp Healing circle tackles coping with trauma The Carp Healing Circle series was honoured to present on Sunday, April 17 Mary Ann Carmichael, a therapist with 40 years of experience, who spoke about how to adapt to trauma, how to cope and how to eventually heal.

The healing circle began by answering the question of what attendees wanted from the session, which started the process of creating a connected group.

on shame: emotional overwhelm, decreased concentration, irritability, depression, insomnia, loss of sense of “who I am,” self-destructive behaviour, feeling unreal/out of body, substance abuse, eating disorders, chronic pain, headaches, panic attacks, hyper-vigilance/mistrust, nightmares/flashbacks, little or no memories, loss of a sense of the future, hopelessness, shame, and worthlessness.

In the first stage of treatment, there is emphasis on calming skills for when trauma survivors experience anxiety, helping the person realize the danger is over as well as teaching self-talk that is compassionate instead of blaming.

Carmichael, who has a Masters of Social Work, put great effort into her presentation, using handdrawn charts and handouts as well as offering colouring books and play dough to knead if people were anxious.

She was obviously aware of the suffering that trauma creates, showing much caring and empathy.

Trauma was defined as a physical or emotional threat that one is unable to predict, prevent or escape.

One then becomes traumatized if unable to stabilize and self-regulate, resulting in significant impact on health, behaviour, relationships, community and spirituality.

Not everyone becomes traumatized by terrible events and one can recover completely and even see positive meaning in the event.

A major factor in determining how well a person can recover is their ability to connect - with themselves, others, the community and life itself, and this is also important in healing.

It was interesting and useful to learn that trauma can be simple, as in one incident such as an accident or loss, or complex where a person has experienced childhood neglect and abuse.

The former can be treated fairly easily while the latter requires longer and more in-depth work.

Adaptations to trauma are based

Surprisingly, these are all efforts to help keep terror away and offer protection and are common in our society.

Those attending learned about the “window of tolerance” for stress, signs of being in hyper or hypo-arousal, and ways to bring themselves back to the present, often using senses, breathing techniques and free apps with calming tools.

Carmichael showed an emergency kit that is easy to make and carry around containing objects that pleasantly stimulate the senses such as a soft piece of cloth, essential oil, something to eat, a play list of favourite music and a beautiful picture of something one loves.

In the first stage of treatment, there is emphasis on calming skills for when trauma survivors experience anxiety, helping the person realize the danger is over as well as teaching self-talk that is compassionate instead of blaming.

After that, deeper work can happen where the parts that carry the trauma are re-integrated into a healthy whole.

As usual, there was a nutrition break with tips on keeping up strength during acutely stressful times, focusing on water, minerals, easily digestible protein and fats, and healthy sweets to prevent be-

coming depleted.

Before ending, participants shared their own stories and tips as well as gratitude to Carmichael for sharing her extensive knowledge and experience on a sunny Sunday.

Anyone wishing to contact her for more information or an appointment can reach her at 613729-6166. Her practice is in the Britannia section of west Ottawa.

Looking back on 20 years of the Diefenbooker Classic Kathy Fischer

Diefenbooker Classic creator

One never knows where a simple idea will lead once it is fueled with passion and hard work.

Twenty years ago very few people were entering running or cycling races, let alone using a race to raise funds for a library.

It was a risk, but to everyone’s joy this community event has not

only continued but in every year has raised thousands of dollars.

The fuel behind the continuing of the Diefenbooker Classic has been its volunteers.

Carp has an extremely caring community of people who give time and money to help support events that benefit all.

There have been some volunteers who come out and help year after year.

They automatically put forth their name.

There were 78 volunteers the first year, 1996. Doug McNabb, Edward Burman and Dixie Trenholm, Hugh Urbach, Bernie Gorman and Jim Collings kept the fires going for this event for many, many years. Collings in fact has been involved the whole 20 years.

Not only have the surrounding libraries benefited from the funds,

but in 2006 funds were directed to supporting the Carp slash pad.

Thank you to all those volunteers who have helped no matter the weather or task.

This event could not continue without you. We have all benefited from your dedication and hard work.

Thank you to all the sponsors who over the years we could count on for support. Thank you

Diefenbooker for runners, walkers and cyclists of all ages The Diefenbooker Classic has proven to be a huge success for the promotion of health in the community, while fundraising for the West Carleton branches of the Ottawa Public Library.

This is the 20th anniversary of fundraising for the libraries.

Be sure to come to the Carp Fairgrounds this Saturday, April 30 for another great Diefenbooker Classic. You can register online at diefenbooker@gmail. com or on the day of the race from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m.

The Diefenbooker Classic promotes community fun, as well as serious racing, with strong regional runners.

Events for all ages include 5- and 10-km running races; 5-, 18- and 33km cycle tours; and a 5-km walk.

Youth events include a 1-km running race for 12 years and under and ‘Loonie Loop’ short races for those 2 to 6 years old. Donations will be accepted in

place of a registration fee.

For the 5-km team event, four or more athletes may register as a ‘team’.

The winning teams will be determined using the lowest combined times of the best four runners.

As a feature of the race, runners and walkers are directed through the blast tunnel of the ‘Diefenbunker’, the former National Defence facility now known as Canada’s Cold War Museum.

Cyclists travel fully paved routes through rural West Carleton township and some roads are temporarily closed to vehicular traffic. The short races will be held within the fairgrounds in Carp. All routes are well marked.

The title sponsor is the West Carleton MedicalDental Centre and West Physio. Support from both new and returning sponsors is greatly appreciated.

For further information, email diefenbooker@ gmail.com.

to the participants for adding your energy to this fabulous community event. See what your dollars have supported.

Since the Diefenbooker Classic started in 1996 the funds raised have been used to supply the Carp, Constance Bay and Fitzroy Harbour libraries with many items from furniture and book trucks to programs and computers.

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

Three weeks ago I was at a retail store and tripped over a box on the floor. I fell and broke my ankle. Today an Insurance adjuster called me. He said I was responsible to look where I was walking but he offered me $5000.00 to help me out as I have been off work. I am on sick leave and have not lost any income. Is there any reason not to just take the money?

Plenty of Reason. Leaving aside what happened, and what you might be entitled to recover as a result of your injuries, it is always a good idea to consult with a lawyer before taking a settlement proposed by an insurance company.

Insurance adjusters work for Insurance companies and they do not approach a settlement based on what you are entitled to. They offer money based on the risk of what you might receive by way of an award. Generally, they will try and settle a claim or potential claim for as little as they reasonable can in order to close off a risk.

do a lot of listening during a consultation. I try to give my client an understanding of the legal issues arising in their circumstances, and what the options are going forward.

Assert your rights. Over the years I have come to understand that people almost always benefit from at least consulting with a lawyer before trying to settle with an insurance company. There is a significant imbalance between a lone individual and a huge insurance company.

A lawyer has the knowledge to help level the playing field.

In my experience insurers will see a greater risk when dealing with an injured person who is represented by a lawyer. Greater risk to insurers leads to better settlements.

Positions and parts are found for every student who wants a role.

Four staff members are mentoring the young actors, while a number of others are offering their expertise on the production team.

“It takes us two years to fundraise for our productions and we pride ourselves on finding a role for anyone who auditions for the show,” said Gibson.

Teaghan Maloney, in Grade 7, and Jessica Sheehan, a Grade 8 student, play opposite each other as Simba and Nala.

Teaghan wanted to participate in the school’s Little Mermaid production two years ago but due to other commitments couldn’t fit it in her schedule. She was thrilled this year to get the opportunity to play Simba.

Venta celebrates diversity with second annual Rainbow Day makes us all alike,” said Maggie Vandervoort one of the student organizers.

The organizing students found one message upsetting because the writer had a negative outlook about themselves. Ashton Clare, in Grade 8, said it’s important to help other students realize differences aren’t a bad thing.

“We have to be there for each other and we have to stick together,” added organizing student Alexis Patrascu. “It’s important to accept each others differences.”

“If we can’t accept each others differences, we can’t get along,” said Ashton.

Being accepting and welcoming of the diversity among the school population is key, said the students, and they will continue to promote that message among the school population.

Grade 8 teacher Amanda McKenzie said it’s the first event where the Grade 8 students have taken a leadership role in the planning and execution of the day.

“We’re very proud of these guys,” she said.

Students and staff at Venta Preparatory School upped the ante on national pink shirt day by coming to class dressed in every colour of the rainbow on April 13.

The school’s second annual Rainbow Day celebrates differences and diversity by allowing the students to dress in colourful clothes in place of the regular school uniform.

“Everyone has something unique about them,” said Grade 8 student Geena Millar.

The Grade 8 students took on the task of organizing the day, which included decorating the dining hall, creating a sticker-appreciation system, and posting people-shaped cutouts in all colours with messages written by students about what makes them unique.

Some students wrote about their likes, their appearance, JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND and what activities they’re Students and staff at Venta Preparatory School dress in a multitude of colours for the second annual Rainbow Day. The good at.

“We’re all different, which day celebrates differences and diversity among the school population.

The Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor Foundation

AGH nurses confirm new equipment’s value in quality patient care I

f you wonder how new technology and updated equipment really improve the quality of patient care, ask Chelsea Gibb or Sue Abernathy. Both nurses at Almonte General Hospital are working with new equipment purchased with funds from the AGH-FVM Foundation.

Gibb, who has worked for more than five years in AGH’s Medical-Surgical Unit, says the hospital’s new BVI 9400 Bladderscan machine has improved not only her own nursing experience but, more importantly, the quality of care for her patients.

A bladder scanner can monitor bladder function and measure urine retention in patients recovering from surgery, as well as patients with a variety of chronic or acute conditions, particularly the elderly, and obstetrical patients in post-delivery. It also helps to evaluate the need for catheterization to collect fluid.

AGH’s new 3D ultrasound machine, says Gibb, has revolutionized how she checks her patients’ bladder function. “The new machine takes only a minute to use. It’s non-invasive and it measures urinary bladder volume and the post-void residual.”

The machine’s ultrasound technology also helps to locate the bladder and get a trustworthy result. With the older machine, nurses took more readings to get an accurate result and sometimes resorted to the insertion of a catheter to determine urine retention, Gibb says.

“The new machine reduces unnecessary catheterizations that can cause discomfort and embarrassment for patients,” Gibb adds. “It also reduces the risk of urinary tract or bladder infections, or other complications, from unnecessary catheterizations.”

Meanwhile, Sue Abernethy says a new blood/fluid warmer purchased for the hospital’s Emergency and Perioperative Departments is an essential piece of equipment.

The blood warmer, says Abernethy, is used to help prevent hypothermic shock, as well as hypovolemic shock, in a patient, who is in a compromised state and requires an immediate blood transfusion. Stable patients can receive blood directly from the refrigerator, where blood supplies are stored. But critical cases are at risk of being cooled too much (hypothermia) by unwarmed blood or going into shock from loss of too much blood (hypovolemia), Abernethy says.

“The blood warmer can warm blood to between 37 and 42 degrees Celsius, and pump blood into the recipient’s system rapidly,” says Abernethy, who has worked in AGH’s Emergency Department for more than 20 years. “In urgent situations, whether in the Emergency Department or the Operating Room, the blood warmer works quickly to provide a seamless transfusion.” …Continued on page 4

AGH/FVM golf tourney Monday, June 6

he Almonte General Hospital’s 2016 Annual Golf Classic, set for Monday, June 6, at the Canadian Golf and Country Club, is presented as a “big thank you” this year, says Joy Delahunt, chair of the organizing committee.

“We want to thank everyone who contributes to this annual event, from the golf players to the sponsors, and everyone who works on the planning, organizing and the game itself,” says Delahunt. The golf tourney, now in its 14th year, is the main fundraiser for the Almonte General Hospital-Fairview Manor (AGHFVM) Foundation.

Delahunt, who has chaired the event’s organizing

committee for two years now, has a personal reason for thanking Foundation donors this year.

“A few weeks ago, my husband was rushed to the AGH Emergency Department and received life-saving care. That showed me, more than ever, how important it is to have excellent hospital care available to us in our community and so close to home. And I think it’s important that donors to the Foundation realize how much their contributions are helping AGH to provide that excellent care.”

This year’s event has a shotgun start at 11:30 a.m., says Delahunt, and it will be bigger and better than ever. “The event includes a barbecue lunch, 18 holes

of golf with a shared cart, a steak dinner, as well as both a silent and live auction, and a 50-50 draw,” adds Delahunt, who is also a member of the AGH-FVM Foundation Board of Directors. “There also will be lots of games and prizes to hand out throughout the event, as well as a swag bag of gifts.”

Mary Wilson Trider, President and CEO of AGH, agrees that Foundation donors play a large part in funding the health care services that AGH provides in the community. “Funds from the Foundation help to pay for a wide range of equipment that improves the care we provide at AGH and the Fairview Manor,” Wilson …Continued on page 4

All the comforts of home at Fairview Manor M

uriel Currie is knitting afghans for her two granddaughters, a project that she says will take “months and months” to complete. Meanwhile, Doris Cochran prefers reading when she has time between her exercise classes or other scheduled activities. Both long-time residents of Fairview Manor say they have lots to keep themselves occupied.

“It’s hard to lose your friends and your loved ones as you age,” says Doris Cochran, 93. “But you need to be tough, and you need to look after yourself and keep going.”

That’s why Cochran moved into FVM 12 years ago.

“After my husband died in 2002, I stayed in our home for two years (on a property outside Almonte where the couple had retired). But then I decided I wanted to be in a place where I felt safe, where I didn’t have worries and where I could enjoy life.”

The obvious choice for Cochran was Fairview Manor. Although she and her husband had lived in Toronto and Ottawa, and their two daughters still lived in Toronto, Cochran felt most comfortable in Almonte where she had grown up, and still had some family and friends close by. Also, she says, “My daughters looked for places in Toronto, but there was nothing comparable to Fairview Manor.”

Currie, 84, moved into FVM 10 years ago after suffering a fall that required a long rehabilitation period and resulted in limited mobility. She now uses a motorized wheelchair and shares a double room with her husband, George, who came to FVM after suffering a stroke.

The Curries had lived on a farm west of Almonte since they were married. Now their son, Kevin, and his family live there. Currie notes that one of the advantages of living at FVM is that “we are so close to my son and his family, and we can go out to visit them.”

Over the years, FVM has become “home sweet home” to both Cochran and Currie, and they each have established regular routines that keep them busy and content.

Cochran attends exercise class every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday morning. She also reads a lot, including the daily Citizen, and she loves crossword puzzles. “You have to keep your body and

included five quilts for the beds at her son’s house.

Another of her specialties, Currie says, are mittens, which she describes as “extra thick and extra warm.”

When not working on her hobbies, Currie participates in various FVM activities. The weekly Bingo game is one of her favourites. She actually won a recent game, though she had to share the five-dollar jackpot with another player. Currie says she didn’t mind. “It was better than a kick in the pants,” she laughs.

Currie also makes time for her duties as president of the FVM Residents’ Council, which meets monthly to discuss topics of interest to the residents. Asked what issues might be discussed, Currie says food sometimes comes up. “Everybody has their own likes and dislikes,” she shrugs, “but you can’t please everybody all the time.”

Cochran agrees. “I need a special diet. So I’m happy that the staff prepares food that fits my diet.”

And that brings both women back to why they live at Fairview Manor. “We feel fortunate to have the staff to help us. They are very good to us. And we get everything we need,” Cochran says.

Resident Muriel Currie mind active,” says Cochran, who also takes advantage of the Manor’s various entertainment nights, and enjoys weekly Bingo events, as well as board games like Scrabble and Horse Races. Outings on the FVM bus are also on Cochran’s list of favourite activities.

She also attends FVM’s cooking sessions when staff and residents gather to bake cookies, or prepare preserves for the annual fundraising bazaar in November. “We make everything from strawberry and raspberry jam to jellies and all sorts of pickles.”

Although Currie participates in many of FVM’s scheduled activities, her main interest right now is knitting the afghans for her two granddaughters. It’s a big project, so she keeps her needles close at hand.

In the double room that she shares with her husband, some of Currie’s other projects are on display, including some handmade quilts. Other projects, she says, have

Making the tough choices: what equipment to buy?

A

lmonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor are committed to providing the highest possible quality of care to patients and residents, while keeping pace with changing community needs and technological advances. There is a continuous need to update, replace and add new equipment to maintain the quality of services in this dynamic health care environment.

Tough decisions must be made each year about what equipment to purchase to best meet the most urgent needs of patients and residents. These decisions are based on a rigorous consultation process.

Early each year managers and directors across the Hospital and Fairview Manor consult with their staff and Medical staff to identify equipment that must be replaced, as well as new equipment, to meet evolving patient and resident care needs. Requests from each unit and department are then submitted to the Senior Management Team. If the sum of the requests exceeds the budgeted dollars available, the

AGH’S SCORECARD:

Medical Advisory Committee is asked for advice on prioritizing the requests.

The prioritized list is then presented to the AGH’s Board of Directors for approval as the capital budget for the upcoming year. Once the budget has been approved, the list of needed equipment is provided to the AGH-FVM Foundation. The Foundation may raise funds to purchase the equipment through designated or undesignated gifts from individuals or organizations, as well as a variety of fundraising activities, including the annual AGH Golf Classic.

“The needs of our patients and residents are of utmost importance in determining our capital equipment budget priorities,” says AGH President and CEO Mary Wilson Trider. “And we depend on the AGH-FVM Foundation work with the generous community to raise funds to make these critical purchases. We are truly grateful to those who donate to the AGH-FVM Foundation. Donors help us to provide the best possible health care in our community close to home.”

iterally hundreds of families served by the Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor have long standing histories with both community institutions. Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, and grandchildren have all been born at AGH, cared for, and then may eventually or have already become residents of FVM. Recognizing and celebrating this legacy of family health care is becoming more and more important to many.

Arranging a legacy or planned gift is a way to ensure that the excellent patient care for family members, neighbours and friends continues for many years to come.

…Continued from page 3 BEQUESTS One of the easiest and most powerful ways to invest in the future of health care for your family and in your community is through a bequest in your will.

According to Foundation Managing Director Al Roberts, “A bequest is a gift specified in a will of either a specific amount of money, a percentage of the estate, a particular asset, or the residue of the estate. Including an estate gift in a will may also help provide tax relief so the Hospital or Manor receive a gift and the ‘tax man’ receives less.”

To leave a bequest to Almonte General Hospital or Fairview Manor Foundation in your will, speak to your lawyer or financial planner to let them

know your wishes.

We encourage those who have made bequests to the Hospital or Manor to notify the Foundation.

Your bequest will be kept in strict confidence, but will allow us to properly recognize your gift during your lifetime, and ensure that your gift is designated in accordance with your wishes.

Legacy gifts may be recognized through special plaques, garden stones and/or on the Foundation’s donor wall, all of which provide special memories for years to come.

For more information (and with absolutely no obligation), please contact the Foundation at 613-256-2500, ext. 2297.

AGH nurses confirm new equipment’s value in quality patient care …Continued from page 1 Abernethy adds that “the new machine is user friendly, and it’s essential to a critical care area to ensure the best possible outcome for patients needing transfusions.” The new Hotline model, which replaces an older machine, uses a triple lumen tubing. The blood is carried in a sterile inner tube while warm water circulates in the outer tubing. The device not

only regulates the blood’s temperature, but also the speed of flow to the patient, says Abernethy.

And that improves the quality of patient care, she says. “It is good to have a new and reliable machine again. It is the only piece of machinery we have that is capable of warming blood for transfusion.”

Committee approves plan to use reserves to shore up childcare services Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A new set of regulations and decreased funding from the province have created a budget shortfall in childcare services, the city’s community and protective services committee heard April 21.

Aaron Burry, the general manager of community and social services, said staff was anticipating an increase of $1.2 million – instead Ottawa received a $1 million cut.

The gap to cover the existing fee subsidy program is $2.2 million, Burry said, adding the department also had to hire four new staff to deal with changing regulations around subsidies and the centralized waiting list.

The reason the capital got short changed was due to some tweaks to the provincial funding formula and Statistics Canada information that Ottawa has a lower proportion of low income families than other municipalities, Burry said, adding that Ottawa had $3 million in unused subsidy dollars in 2014 – which the province took into account.

Committee chair Diane Deans said it

would seem the new provincial system is flawed.

The gap could mean 260 fewer subsidized spaces and an increase in the wait list, bringing the total to over 1,200, according to the city report.

Prior to September 2015 subsidies would be attached to an individual childcare centre instead of to the family in need. With the change in rules the fee subsides are now floating, which means they apply to the family.

The change means parents can pick a daycare that suits their needs, rather than simply because a spot was available.

But changes to the act that governs daycares has caused some growing pains, as centres grapple with new rules around child to caregiver ratios, health and safety requirements and in some cases – families moving to centres that better suit their needs.

The city has a $11.5 million stabilization fund, that was created to help agencies with some of the costs associated with converting to the new rules.

Staff propose using $5.7 million from reserve funds to deal with the subsidy short-

fall and $3.5 million in emergency bridge funding for childcares that are transitioning to the new provincial model.

Burry said staff have positioned the funding, to align with the spending priorities under the new provincial funding system and hope to get a boost next year.

But in the interim, the slate of changes around childcare could spell problems for a francophone childcare centre in Lowertown.

Beausoleil child care centre on York Street was closed temporarily for repairs last summer, but Burry said that the closure may be longer than anticipated.

“We have to balance the vacancy rate, and if there’s enough demand in the neighbourhood to fill it,” Burry said.

But Rideau-Rockliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum said the closure may have created a false situation where it looks like there isn’t the need to support it.

“Families would have found other, less convenient arrangements,” he said.

The city doesn’t lease the space currently, so whatever goes in would be a brand-new license and have some start up costs, Burry said.

CHEO Telethon campaign launch unveils student’s winning design Megan DeLaire

MEGAN DELAIRE/METROLAND

Sir Robert Borden High School student Andrea McMullin, right, displays her winning design for CHEO’s 2016 telethon campaign during the campaign launch at the school on April 12.

YES WE ARE OPEN 4 GOLF OUR INDOOR GOLF SIMULATORS WILL BE BACK UP MAY 11TH

With the launch of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario’s annual telethon campaign at Sir Robert Borden High School on April 12, high school student Andrea McMullin’s artwork went public in a big way.

That’s because McMullin, 16, produced the winning design that will be featured on all of the telethon’s materials, including the CHEO Foundation’s telethon clothing line.

“This logo is going to be seen all over the city,” Mayor Jim Watson said at the event. “And it’s going to remind people to go to the CHEO telethon … and to be generous.”

The telethon will take place on June 4 and 5, and will be broadcast on CTV. Each year, CHEO invites students in high schools across Ottawa to submit their designs, and the Nepean school is already well acquainted with the campaign, having produced another winning design as recently as 2014.

McMullin’s design was put on display for students, teachers, telethon host Graham Richardson, MerivaleKnoxdale Coun. Keith Egli, Ottawa Carleton District

School Board trustee Donna Blackburn and Watson, during the official campaign launch at the school.

Working with the telethon’s Be a SuperHERO for CHEO theme, her entry gives the CHEO Bear a retro-style superhero makeover complete with a blue unitard, a red cape and a heroic stance.

“It’s crazy, it’s surreal.

I wasn’t aware that it was such a big deal going into it,” McMullin said. “Then I ended up winning and there’s so much stuff going on. The fact that I’ll be driving down the street and probably see the logo that I designed is crazy.”

For McMullin, contributing to the hospital’s fundraising telethon is an opportunity to give back to an institution that helped her as a child.

“When I was younger I went to CHEO a few times,” she said. “I was a little clumsy, and I got injured here and there.”

In fact, McMullin spent three nights there when she was nine years old after she broke and dislocated her arm while playing with her brother and a friend. The injury required surgery.

“I do know it’s a great hospital,” she said. “Everyone was super friendly, and it’s very effective.”

For its role in the campaign, the school received a $1,000 award while McMullin took home an Apple iPad. The annual telethon is one of the CHEO Foundation’s biggest fundraising events each spring, raising millions of dollars for the hospital over two days. In 2015, the telethon generated a record-breaking $7.9 million in donations, which helped the hospital purchase a new high-tech portable X-ray machine.

Proceeds from this year’s fundraiser will help CHEO purchase specialized medical equipment, conduct lifesaving research, train staff and provide toys, games and crafts to the hospital’s young patients.

“We have one of the best children’s hospitals not in Ontario, but in all of Canada,” Watson said. “And we are able to keep that hospital going not just because the government puts money into it … but because the community really rallies behind it.”

CHEO Telethon clothing and other merchandise bearing McMullin’s logo is now available for purchase at www.cheofoundation. com.

Trustees overwhelmingly support code of conduct Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustees overwhelmingly voted in favour of a code of conduct at a committee of the whole meeting on April 19, with one notable exception — Barrhaven trustee Donna Blackburn.

Blackburn, who faced censure from the chair of the board for comments she had made about some of her colleagues, said she’s worried the code will be used as a tool to silence dissent.

She proposed an amendment to the code which would allow trustees to express their personal political views but it was defeated.

“It wasn’t even close,” Blackburn said, adding one trustee called it a “get out of jail free card.”

The code, which has been in the works for the better part of the year through an ad hoc committee, defines acceptable behaviour for trustees and lays out a set of procedures should one trustee lay a complaint against another — including hiring an outside investigator.

Blackburn, who fears the code is a backhanded way

to silence her sometimes unconventional take on the comings and goings of the board, said she isn’t clear on how a complaint would pass a “smell test” before it went to the board.

Board chair Shirley Seward has long championed the code, saying that it’s similar to ones used by other boards across the province.

“It’s not meant to be punitive,” Seward said. “It’s the same set of behaviours we expect from our staff and our students. In most cases, it won’t ever get to formal sanctions.”

Seward said after the chair is made aware of a complaint, an attempt will be made to resolve the matter. “In some cases we may meet as a group, and an apology may end the whole thing,” she said.

If the matter moves to formal censure, the board would have to vote for censure.

Rather than a simple majority, two thirds of the board would have to be in favour of censure. Once that succeeds, the trustee would be barred from participating on any committees. They’d still be able to vote at board

FILE

The Ottawa Carleton District School Board’s committee of the whole voted in favour of a code of conduct that would provide a mechanism to censure unruly trustees. Chair Shirley Seward says the addition of the clause to limit the censure to six months will ensure that trustees can still do their job. meetings, but wouldn’t be able to propose motions at the committee of the whole where the bulk of the board’s work is done.

Lynn Scott, who represents the zones that covers the municipal wards of West Carleton, Stittsville and Rideau Goulbourn, said she planned to put forward another

amendment to exclude committee of the whole and committee of the whole budget meetings from the censure.

“Those committees we aren’t elected to,” she said.

“Not being able to sit on those committees will severely impact trustees ability to represent their constituents.”

Scott, who chaired the ad hoc committee that created the code, said that it is necessary.

“I have been on the board for 20 years, people like to know what’s expected of them,” she said.

“But I am not really sure people understood what they were doing (at the com-

mittee of the whole vote).

There was some confusion about what constitutes a committee.”

Scott said the public can’t always rely on elections to govern trustee behaviour.

“People vote for a variety of reasons,” she said. “I don’t think we can use that as the only tool.”

Seward said legislation defines committees as both ones that trustees are elected to, and ones that they’re not elected to.

She added that her amendment — the only one that succeeded in the debate around the policy vote — to limit the censure to six months, helps to ensure trustees can still do their jobs.

Seward said the vote was nine trustees in favour, with one abstention and Blackburn voted against the code of conduct.

The board was top have officially voted on the code of conduct April 26, although all trustees participate in the committee-ofthe-whole vote, meaning that in essence the official board vote involves the same trustees voting again on what they just passed at the committee level.

Tomlinson builds Carp Road construction waste recovery centre John Curry

John.curry@metroland.com

It’s being touted as one of the most technologically advanced facilities of its kind in North America.

The new, soon-to-open Tomlinson Construction Waste Recovery Centre off Carp Road just north of Richardson Sideroad will have the capability to divert more than 110,000 tonnes of construction and demolition materials away from landfills while recovering or recycling a minimum of 80 per cent of the materials being processed.

“This new facility will be the most technologically advanced recovery facility of its kind in North America and takes advantage of new technologies, robust processes and our years of experience in the industry,” said Lee Timmins. An engineer and assistant manager of projects and municipal business development for Tomlinson, Timmins not only was involved in the centre’s construction but serves as a company spokesperson for the facility.

He says this new state-of-the-art facility will extend the life of landfills in the area as construction and

demolition materials will instead be processed at this facility, with up to 80 per cent being recovered or recycled.

He equates this new facility to the well-known recycling blue and black boxes, except that this new facility will handle construction materials.

Tomlinson has 20 years of experience in recycling construction and demolition materials, thanks to operating the Springhill landfill in former Osgoode township, handling 50,000 tonnes per year.

This experience led to the design of this new facility. It took about five years to develop while incorporating the technological improvements that have happened in the industry in the past few years.

Tomlinson felt that it needed a west end facility to complement the Osgoode site, especially since proximity to such a site is critical for the home builders and contractors that will use it.

The new facility uses the latest in screening technology including air pressure separation to sort the materials passing through the new facility. This means that no pre-sorting of the materials is required, thus saving contractors and builders both time and money.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

This new construction materials recycling and recovery centre known as the Tomlinson Construction Waste Recovery Centre off Carp Road will be able to process over 110,000 tonnes of construction and demolition waste annually.

But while this technology serves its purpose, it still comes down to a human component, with staff members flanking two long conveyor belts in the facility’s secondstorey, hand sorting the materials as they pass by. It is expected that about 20 people will be working in this sorting area when the facility opens.

A computer can adjust the

speed of the conveyor belt depending on the complexity of the materials being sorted. There is no danger in this facility of a recurrence of the runaway conveyor belt that was the focus of one of television’s funniest and most memorable skits on the I Love Lucy show in 1952 when Lucy and her friend Ethel were faced with a speeding conveyor belt while working in a

candy factory.

Timmins says that this new facility represents a combination of innovation and environmental consciousness for the Tomlinson company.

“We are very proud of this because it’s doing the right thing,” he said, while adding it also makes economic sense.

Facility ‘like a meccano set’

Waste facility open to anyone

John Curry

John.curry@metroland.com

Continued from page 58

It’s a state-of-the-art facility, a gleaming red mass of covered conveyor belts that for some can bring back boyhood memories of the popular Meccano structures.

Even Lee Timmins, the assistant manager of projects and municipal business development for Tomlinson Environmental Services who was involved in its construction sees the resemblance, saying that the new construction materials recycling and recovery facility is “like a meccano set” with “belts going here, there and everywhere.”

Timmins acknowledges that he enjoys his work, saying that it is fun to build things like this new facility, especially when, as he maintains it has such an obvious environmental benefit.

He notes the predominant red of the new facility, calling it “our big red plant” and pointing out that the Tomlinson firm is known as “the red army” since red is its corporate colour featured on all of its vehicles.

Meccano, which still is available, is a model construction system created in England by Frank Hornby in 1898. It consists of reusable metal strips, plates, angle girders, wheels, axles and gears with nuts and bolts to connect the pieces. It enables the building of working models and mechanical devices.

Over the years, the colour of the Meccano pieces has changed, but it is the colours red and green that are most associated with Meccano.

Although much has changed with regard to Meccano over the years, what has remained the same are the Imperial half inch perforation spacing and the 5/32nd of an inch whitworth thread for nuts and bolts and other threaded parts. These unchanged standards and complete interchangeability of parts results in many modern models functioning perfectly with Meccano components that are more than 100 years old and vice versa.

The only problem with mixing old and new parts is that the result is usually an odd mixture of colour schemes of the pieces.

Today, over 100 years since Meccano was created, there are thousands of Meccano enthusiasts around the world. There are even annual Meccano exhibitions held around the world.

The new plant will be surrounded by pavement and asphalt and the sorting area is fully covered, so there will be no materials escaping and littering the site. In addition, weather will not affect the covered belts.

This will be a very clean site, Timmins says.

Construction of the facility began last summer, following years of design work and a lengthy approvals process.

But this Tomlinson site off Carp Road is more than just this new recycling and recovery facility for construction and demolition materials.

There’s also a waste transfer station there as well as a materials recycling facility for blue and black boxes. In addition, used electronics are accepted at the site.

Any solid, non-hazardous materials can be handled at the site, Timmins says.

And while home builders and contractors will be major users, it is open to anyone.

The average guy with a pick-up truck who has renovated the basement, for instance, is more than welcome to take his waste materials to this facility, which will even be open open Saturdays to accommo-

Come try ringette with WORA The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) is inviting all youngsters between the ages of four and nine who want to try the sport of ringette to attend a free ‘Come Try Ringette’ opportunity on Saturday, May 7.

Drop by from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Iber Road in Stittsville.

This is a great opportunity for a youngster to try playing ringette and get a feel for the game.

One hour between 3 and 4 p.m. has been set aside for those aged 4 to 8 years of age at this ‘Come Try Ringette’ session.

The time period from 4 to 5 p.m. is for those aged 9 years old and up.

Current ringette players who have a friend interested in trying ringette are urged to get together with the friend and both come out to have some fun on the ice at this session.

Perhaps you have never

played ringette but want to try it. Such brand new players are certainly welcome to this ‘Come Try Ringette’session.

You may be a hockey player or figure skater who would like to learn a little about ringette as you have heard a lot about it from your friends.

Well, this session provides a great opportunity to check out the sport of ringette.

And you don’t need a lot of equipment to participate in this opportunity.

All you need is a pair of skates, a helmet and a pair of gloves, either hockey gloves or just a regular pair of winter gloves.

Ringette sticks will be available for you to use.

If you do decide to play ringette, WORA offers an equipment loan program to new ringette players between the ages of 4 and 7 years.

This program provides new players with all the necessary equipment except for

a helmet and skates.

Representatives from WORA will be on hand at the ‘Come Try Ringette’ session to answer any questions about the sport.

There will also be on-ice helpers to assist any new players who may need extra help on the ice.

The WORA always welcomes those interested in being a goalie in the league.

You can find out more about the opportunities of being a goalie in ringette at this event.

Goalies between the ages of 10 and 16 years are particularly needed.

Playing the sport of ringette not only involves a player in a fast-paced, exciting game, but players also meet new friends.

More information about the West Ottawa Ringette Association, its programs and the game of ringette in general can be found at the website www.westottawaringette.com.

Among those participating were the First Carp Cubs as well Carp Garden Centre volunteers. Maureen Rae, right, and Mardi Redshaw clean up along Carp Road Saturday morning.

Although quite new to the village, she decided to organize a Carp edition of Earth Day’s Clean-Up the Capital. More than 30 volunteers, including a strong contingent from the 1st Carp Cubs under leader Ross Trusler, scoured the village and some of the surrounding roads on Satur- Marlene Matheson picks up litter on her way through the day.

Ottawa 2017 seeks volunteers for Canada’s 150th celebrations as another opportunity to give back and invest in the future of all Canadians.

“The passion and volunteer spirit of our employees is an integral part of CIBC’s culture and we’re very proud of the incredible work done by thousands of employees across the country who get involved in causes they feel passionate about,” said Monique Giroux, vice-[President, Sponsorship Marketing & Strategic Partnerships, CIBC. “We look forward to collaborating with the Ottawa 2017 volunteers, who will be part of the social legacy of the celebration and with their support will contribute to building a better tomorrow for our Country.”

Ottawa 2017 is looking for 2017 outgoing individuals, 16 years or older, to volunteer for activities throughout the year such as Red Bull Crashed Ice, the JUNO Awards, Picnic on the Bridge and the Canadian Videogame Awards.

The Ottawa 2017 Bureau and Mayor Jim Watson, in collaboration with lead partner CIBC, are inviting Ottawa residents to become volunteers for Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations in the nation’s capital.

The Ottawa 2017 online volunteer registration system was launched Tuesday. Interested individuals can sign up for a unique volunteering experience at one of the many events taking place from January to December in 2017.

“Ottawa will be centre stage in 2017, as a record number of Canadians will come to their capital to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday,” said Watson.

“As we prepare for these once-in-a-lifetime, yearlong festivities, I am calling upon local residents to join Ottawa 2017’s team of volunteers and contribute to the success of the celebrations.”

Next year marks both Canada and CIBC’s 150th anniversaries. CIBC sees the milestone

15 MINIMUM

“The momentum is building and we’ve already had hundreds of people come forward to say that they want to help in some way with the historic celebrations being planned,” said Guy Laflamme, executive director of the Ottawa 2017 Bureau.

“We encourage and welcome people to join our dynamic volunteer team by providing their time, talent, and energy to make the celebrations memorable for everyone.”

Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations will offer Canadians and visitors from around the world an exceptional and memorable year of high-caliber experiences while bringing a record number of visitors to Ottawa in 2017 to celebrate this milestone.

Community Foundation unveils new centre to help guide charity work The Community Foundation of Ottawa has launched Ottawa Insights, a dynamic, new webbased community knowledge centre that will enable citizens to better understand key local issues and trends.

By graphically presenting selected vital information on trends and conditions across a broad range of issues, the site aims to empower local residents, organizations and community leaders to take informed action to improve the quality of life in the city.

Key indicators include: • 40 per cent of all visible minority children, and more than 50 per cent of the children in several Ottawa neighbourhoods, are living in low-income situations; • in 2015, youth unemployment in Ottawa rose to 15 per cent, the highest it’s been in over a decade and the highest among

the six largest Canadian cities; • mental health emergency visits to CHEO have increased by 75 per cent since 2010; • Ottawa’s premature mortality rate (death before age 75) is the lowest in the Champlain LHIN as a whole, and is significantly lower than in the rest of the country.

They are just a few of the findings in the areas of basic needs and standard of living, economy and employment, and health and wellness unveiled at Monday’s public launch.

The Community Foundation of Ottawa will present comprehensive information and data in the areas of environment and sustainability, arts and culture, education and learning, and community and belonging throughout the course of the year.

Monday’s presentation was accompanied by re-

marks by Ottawa’s medical officer of health Isra Levy, Established in 1987, the Community Foundation of Ottawa is a public, non-profit organization created by and for the people of Ottawa. It connects donors who care with causes that matter and serves as a trusted resource for addressing issues and leveraging opportunities in the community.

Priding itself in enabling generous citizens to enhance the quality of life in their community and to achieve their own charitable objectives, the Community Foundation currently manages assets worth almost $120 million and has provided close to $100 million in grants to the community since its inception.

There is only one public elementary school in Manotick, which teaches kindergarten through Grade 5 in English and French. There is also a Catholic elementary school and a Catholic high school. South Carleton High School, located in Richmond, is the primary public high school for Manotick residents.

Old Ottawa South neighbourhoods keep their small town charm during growth. WIKIPEDIA OLD OTTAWA SOUTH

Along the banks of the Rideau River lie unique Ottawa neighbourhoods as rich with history as they are with modern amenities.

Old Ottawa South — located between the Rideau Canal to the north, the Rideau River to the south, Avenue Road to the east and Bronson Avenue to the west — is home to hundreds of designated heritage properties and boasts more than 6,000 residents.

The area is known for its walkability as a

variety of stores and businesses, the majority of which are locally owned, line the main strip along Bank Street.

About 20 kilometres away from Old Ottawa South, in the rural southern part of the city, is Manotick, home to roughly 4,500 people. Manotick was founded by Moss Kent Dickinson and Joseph Currier, who built an old-stone mill on the shores of the Rideau River. Watson’s Mill remains Manotick’s most recognizable landmark and is still open to the public.

Twenty minutes south of Manotick is the township of North Grenville (just outside of Ottawa), where its largest community, Kemptville, continues to expand — both in terms of residential and commercial growth — while still maintaining its small town charm.

Business park continues evolution of Barrhaven

The landscape in Barrhaven has been slowly evolving over the past few decades and will look dramatically different with the ongoing development of the CitiGate lands, a 170-acre premier business park at the corner of Highway 416 and Strandherd Drive.

Part of longtime Barrhaven City Councillor Jan Harder’s vision for the area is to make it more walkable by offering a wider variety of convenient

Walkable neighbourhood known for heritage homes Jen Traplin

shopping options as well as higher paying, local employment opportunities so residents don’t always have to commute downtown for work.

“We’ve set the stage for that by approving the CitiGate lands, where we have zoning in place that will allow for more than 7,000 jobs,” Harder says.

Andrea Steenbakkers, executive director of the Barrhaven BIA, agrees the CitiGate devel-

opment is an important step forward.

“While Barrhaven has seen significant residential and retail growth, we now need the third part — employment — to make it a whole, sustainable community,” she says.

“We have tens of thousands of skilled workers in Barrhaven who would love to work where they live, not to mention the relief to the City’s traffic and transit.”

OTTAWA NEIGHBOURHOODS – THE SOUTH

Kemptville College: A Mill an architectural piece of local history gem in Manotick Kemptville College has helped train generations of Canadians who earn their livelihood working to provide food for others.

Built in 1917, originally to support and strengthen farming practises in Eastern Ontario, Kemptville College specializes in programs related to agricultural and rural fields.

Nearly 20 years ago, Kemptville College became part of the University of Guelph, as well as the Ontario Agricultural College (OAC), a province-wide network of facilities for teaching and research in agriculture, food, the environment and rural communities.

Two years ago, though, the University of Guelph announced it would no longer offer classes at Kemptville College after all current students had completed their programs this spring. Recognizing the impact that decision would have, not only on the local community but across the agriculture industry as a whole, the province of Ontario set up a working group to examine the future of the Kemptville campus.

That group includes the municipality of North Grenville, which put together an am-

A plan is in motion to save Kemptville College.

bitious plan for Kemptville College. The community’s vision sees the school as a non-profit, multi-tenant education and community hub focused on low carbon innovation and reducing the agricultural impact on climate change.

The group tasked with analyzing the feasibility of the North Grenville’s plan, BDO Canada, has endorsed its vision for the re-invented college, calling the plan both sustainable and unique.

For more than 150 years, the mill stones at Watson’s Mill in Manotick have been busy grinding wheat into flour.

The mill is the only operational industrial heritage site in the Ottawa region and is still a stunning piece of architecture today. Built from limestone cut from the Rideau River, it’s supported by white oak beams and hand hewn pine ceilings.

“Many architectural journals describe the Mill as one of the best examples of 19th century grist mill architecture in Canada,” says Elaine Eagen, Programming and Visitor Experience Officer at Watson’s Mill.

“Our visitors not only learn about the process, but have the opportunity to see and feel the building and its machinery in action.”

Throughout its lifetime, the mill has been owned by three local families. It was founded by Joseph Merrill Currier and Moss Kent Dickinson in 1860. It remained in the Dickinson family until 1928 when it was sold to Alexander Spratt. His family ran the mill until selling in 1946 to Harry Watson, who was the last owner to operate the Mill at an industrial level.

Nearly 20 years after Watson purchased the mill, he entered into a lease agreement with the National Capital Commission to open the Mill as a heritage attraction before it was eventually sold to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, who restored the building and re-opened it as a functioning grist mill and museum.

Watson’s Mill is open to the public during the warmer months and hosts a variety of events.

Watson’s Mill officially opens for the season on May 21, 2016. For more information, visit watsonsmill.com.

Watson’s Mill in Manotick also a heritage site.

Stuntman Stu finds a bone marrow donor Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

‘Stuntman Stu’ Schwartz announced his transplant team has found a bone marrow donor in a video posted to Facebook on April 21.

With a bald head from chemotherapy and tears in his eyes, the radio and Ottawa Senators host said he doesn’t know who the donor is, but thanked them for taking the time to get swabbed and offer to donate their bone marrow.

“It’s a completely unselfish act that many of you have done,” he said of people who have been swabbed and have registered to be donors.

“I thank you, our family thanks you. So whoever this person is, they’re somewhere in the world, you are saving my life.”

The Barrhaven resident will get the bone marrow transplant in early May. “The next couple of weeks will be incredibly challenging for my body,” Schwartz said.

“There will be a host of things that are done to my body to prepare it for the bone marrow trans-

plant, so I may not be out and about as much, and if you see me I will probably look like I’ve been beat up a little.”

Schwartz announced earlier this year he had been diagnosed with leukemia.

“I may not be out and about as much, and if you see me I will probably look like I’ve been beat up a little.”

“STUNTMAN STU” SCHWARTZ

The community has rallied around him, raising funds, getting swabbed, and using the #StuStrong hashtag.

“We’re on the road to what I know is recovery,” he said.

Canadian Blood Services runs the OneMatch program, where people 17 to 35 years old can provide a cheek swab to join.

Donors and patients are matched based on inherited genetic markers. Learn more at blood.ca.

Great invention makes its way to Northcote What excitement! And in the middle of the week at that!

The call from Aunt Bertha on the next farm came before we left for school.

To even get a phone call that early in the morning was unusual in itself. But to be invited over that evening in the middle of the week was even more unusual.

Visiting among neighbours was reserved for Saturday nights.

Aunt Bertha had something she wanted us to see, and, yes, the whole family was invited to cross the 20acre field right after supper.

Aunt Bertha said we would see something so new, that it was doubtful anyone in all of Northcote had ever seen one before.

The Thoms children, who went to school with us, wouldn’t give us a hint as to what we were about to see at their home that night,

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

but you could tell they were pretty excited too.

Supper was hurried, our faces washed, and off we went on the flat-bottomed wagon across the field to the next farm.

Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alex and their eight children were waiting for us, and Ralph, who seemed to be in charge, led us through the kitchen, the summer kitchen and out to another room, which Aunt Bertha called the shed, although it was in much better shape than the little building we called a shed back home.

There in the middle of

the floor was a brand new washing machine!

Like us, the Thoms had no electricity, but this certainly looked like it would take more than elbow grease to run it.

We circled the machine, and I wondered what was so special about it that Aunt Bertha would bring us all over from the next farm to see it.

The tub was a pale green, certainly a step up from the square tin tub and scrub board Mother had to use.

But I still couldn’t imagine what was so important about a washing machine,

that our whole family would be brought over in the middle of the week to look at it.

“Stand well back,” Uncle Alex said, and as one we all moved a few feet away.

Beside the machine was another apparatus that looked a lot like the motor Mr. Briscoe brought around in the fall to saw wood.

“Better put your pipe away, Albert,” Uncle Alex ordered. “Don’t want anyone to get hurt.” This was getting scarier by the minute. We couldn’t see what Uncle Alex was doing, but he pressed a few buttons, and this black piece of machine made an ungodly sound, like the whole place was going to blow up, and a puff of blue smoke came out, just about blocking Uncle Alex from view.

Then Aunt Bertha pushed something on the washing machine, and right before our eyes, the gyrator started

up, the few pieces of clothes began tumbling, suds rose from the depths, and Aunt Bertha stood back, crossed her arms over her chest and said, “Now, isn’t that something?”

With laundry for eight Thom children, there would be no more scrub board.

The magic wasn’t to end there. Another button was pushed, the machine came to a halt, and Aunt Bertha pulled out a set of long underwear from the soapy water, turned a little handle, fed the underwear into a ringer attached to the washing machine, and the long johns dropped into a basket on the floor, looking like they were almost dry enough to put on.

Uncle Alex explained how the whole thing was run with a gas motor, and as far as he could figure out, it was the first gas washing machine in all of Northcote.

Nobody was going to argue with that.

Fancy washing machines were nothing new to Mother, who had an electric one in New York, but she kept that to herself, instead praising Aunt Bertha for this new fangled gas machine that would lighten her load on wash days.

The new gas washing machine over at the Thoms farm was all we could talk about when we got home.

“By gar, that’s really something,” Father said.

He thought it was the greatest invention since the telephone. Unlike the radio, which Father was sure would never catch on.
