Ladies Night an evening of tears, laughter BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com
Nearly 1,000 ladies packed the W. Erskine
Johnston Arena Friday, April 28 for a night of fun and fundraising. The 16th annual Carp Fair Ladies’
Night is a fundraiser for the Carp Agricultural Society, but also raises money for community members in need. This
year, 960 women from West Carleton, Arnprior and beyond put on their festive party wear appropriate for an
event with the theme of Margaritaville. The event is always popular with cocktails, dinner, entertainment,

Sorry boys, it’s a night just for the girls From front page
Approximately 100 more ladies attended this year then the previous year. “They are great fundraisers for the community,” Carp Fair general manager Joyce Trafford said. “I think what makes it popular is winter. The ladies want to get out and have some fun. People want to come out and see friends they might not have seen since the Carp Fair last fall.” While the event, along with Men’s Night, which happened two weeks earlier, is a great fundraiser for the fair, it also raises a lot of money for the community. In the past, Ladies’ Night has raised money for Do It for Daron, cancer research and many other causes. This year, the event is supporting two community members battling health issues. Ladies’ Night is splitting $10,000 between Kelly-Ann Wilson and Tiffany Payne. Wilson has been battling Lyme disease for 11 years undergoing multiple surgeries and doctor appointments.
“I feel trapped in this sick body,” she told the crowd through tears. “Please find it in your heart to be kind to your neighbours and be an organ donor.” Wilson, accompanied by her dad Bill on guitar, then sung a song she wrote called Superman for her sick friend, eight-yearold Aiden Veryk who is battling a rare brain cancer. Payne’s young daughter Melia is very sick. “My little girl is suffering from leukemia,” Payne said. “She was diagnosed five days before her first birthday. For eight-and-a-half months we have been living every parent’s worst nightmare. We’ve been struggling physically and mentally. We miss events, we are living out of suitcases, we are sacrificing everything to be with our daughter.” Dinner followed the kick off and drinks, dancing and boisterous behaviour finished off the night. But, sorry boys, what happens at Ladies’ Night, stays at Ladies’ Night, until it’s time to reminisce next fall at the Carp Fair.

‘The Jungle Book’ presented at St. Michael Corkery venture film The Jungle Book, as well as the original 1894 collection of fable stories written by English author Rudyard Kipling. Mowgli, the “man cub,” meets various jungle animal characters, such as the bear Balloo, the python snake Kaa and the black panther Bagheera, as well as other animals like the wolves, the hyenas, the frogs and the monkeys. Mowgli is taught the ways of the jungle by Balloo and Bagheera, but
By John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The Jungle Book came alive on stage at St. Michael Catholic School in Corkery last week. The school’s drama club presented two performances of the musical drama: one on Monday, April 24, and a second on Wednesday, April 26. The performances included characters found in the 2016 hit fantasy ad-
ends up with the monkeys, whom the other jungle animals ignore. In the end, Mowgli is able to get the monkeys recognized and no longer ignored by the other jungle animals. For these performances, the gym at St. Michael School was transformed into a jungle setting, thanks to unique three-sided backdrops that were turned to indicate different locations in the jungle. Other props such
as tree stumps and vines hanging from the ceiling added to the jungle atmosphere. Costuming clearly identified each of the characters; not only Mowgli, Balloo, Kaa and Bagheera, but all of the jungle animals including the hyenas, the monkeys, Mang the bat, Kish the lion, Kimshu the zebra, the leopards, and — not to be forgotten — the frogs who, it turns out, can sing and dance.
A multi-voiced student choir backed up the singing performances of the onstage performers. The production started with the vision of teacher Agnieszka Parpura in choosing the script last June. Her intention was to include as many students from Grade 2 to 6 as possible, and a total of 80 students did participate in the production. See TEACHERS, page 5

Teachers, parent volunteers work on production singing the songs, practising the words, and Continued from page 4
Ms. Parpura created an amazing group of staff and parent volunteers who worked for many hours on all aspects of the production. Teachers Agnieszka Parpura, Janet Whyte, Gracita Fills and Sarah Mousseau — along with retired teacher Linda Pingitore — coached and worked with the students on their lines, their gestures and their acting, so that they could portray the animals so convincingly on stage. Musical director Tracy Frank spent many hours with the choir and all of the students,
making sure they all had the right projections in creating an amazing sound each and every time. Parent volunteers made a tremendous contribution to this play. Costume designers Helga Connor and Lisa Ingimundarson designed colourful, fully-fitted costumes, with an eye for how to create the illusion of the animals and still allow the students to move freely and show their faces.

The sound system was overseen by Patricia Fiorino, while the student sound technicians were Graham MacGowan, Easton Dolter and Owen Thomas. Mr. Kealey looked after the lighting crew. Members of the production team for this presentation of The Jungle Book were teachers Agnieszka Parpura, Janet Whyte, Sarah Mousseau, Martina Dillon, Gracita Fills, Betty Lou Milne, Andrea Bedard and Linda Pingitore; set and scenic artists Anne Valenti and Lorissa MacGowan; costume designers Helga Connor and Lisa Ingimundarson; makeup team members Lisa Ingimundarson, Laurie Cole, Alicia Laberge and Joanne Gibb; and props crew Patrick Vachon and Grade 5 and 6 students. Thanks to the support of the Corkery School Council over the past two years as well as fundraising within the St. Michael school community, the school was able to purchase a new sound system, which was used for this year’s production. The system was complete with wireless mics and a new soundboard. Tricia Fiorino worked with three students in operating the new sound system. The student sound technicians were Graham MacGowan, Easton Dolter and Owen Thomas. They made sure that the six wireless mics were on for the right student actors at the right time. The School Council parents sold water and popcorn during the intermission for this year’s play. The community turned out in great numbers to view the play and support the students.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, May 4, 2017 7
OPINION
Connected to your community
One step away from debt crisis
T
he Kathleen Wynne government turned the fiscal page Thursday and introduced a balanced budget, and if you listened carefully you could hear the congratulatory backslapping from Toronto all the way to Port Severn. It was 10 years ago when Ontario ran balanced budgets in 2006 and 2007, but that gave way to $20-billion-a-year deficits in 2008 and 2009 when the economy tanked and the Grits had no choice but to hand the auto industry a $3.3 billion lifeline, or face the collapse of auto manufacturing in Ontario. At the time, then premier Dalton McGuinty made a promise to balance the budget by 2017, and while the Liberals should be commended for getting their budget in order, there’s a bogeyman lurking. The provincial debt for this fiscal year is expected to hit $312 billion, and in a recent meeting with Metroland Media editors, Senior Economist with RBC Robert Hogue said “tough medicine” is needed to tackle the debt. “Debt has increased quite significantly and debt to GDP is running at 40 per cent,” he said.
In 2016/17, the province expects to spend $11.4 billion on interest payments on that debt. That’s nearly $1 billion a month just to service existing debt, and in case you need to be reminded, that coin comes from your pocket. We agree with Hogue when he says it’s time the province create a plan to tackle the debt by creating a “hard target for debt to GDP ratio” that sits much lower than where we are now. However, we didn’t get that Thursday. What we did get was a desperate Liberal government waving costly carrots in voters’ faces. The Wynne government’s shopping list includes a drug plan for those under 24 costing $465 million a year and $200 million next year to increase affordable licensed child care spaces. Noble programs for sure, but not at a time when the province continues to add about $10 billion a year in new debt as long as they hold power, and if the Wynne government continues to spend like drunken sailors on shore leave — generations of Ontario residents will be buried under a mountain of debt from which they may never escape.
Silence is the most welcome sound of all The warm weather comes and with it, the noise. It’s not that the noise wasn’t there before. It’s just that now the windows are open and we hear it. Perhaps the people who govern us have their windows open too because noise has come back to city council, which has been discussing what to do about noise bylaws. It sounds mostly like tinkering, changing the hours in which noise can be made — for example on construction projects or private snowclearing — and in some cases, the hours may even be extended, such as for special events at Lansdowne Park or the Canadian Tire Centre. Those who live near such places will complain but the adjustments made in their favour will be thin, if history is any guide. If they are counting on a groundswell of public opinion, they are
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town counting on the wrong thing. Noise no longer angers people the way it once did. The sad fact of it is that we’ve become accustomed to noise. Way too accustomed. Noise is all around us in the city and we hardly even notice. Briefly we become aware, perhaps, when the warm weather comes. There’s always a power mower going on the street. There’s always a house being built, or rebuilt, or torn down. There’s always roofing going on. There’s hammering and sawing. There’s always a radio being played Vice President & Regional Publisher Peter Bishop pbishop@metroland.com 613-283-3182

8 West Carleton Review - Thursday, May 4, 2017
at top volume. And there’s the constant hum of traffic from whichever main thoroughfare is nearby. It’s just what happens in a city and we get used to it. If we are lucky enough to get away for a week or so, we temporarily rediscover silence, broken from time to time by the call of a loon. When we return to the city, it seems much noisier. But we get used to it. The contrast between city and cottage isn’t what it once was. Music is more portable than ever and it carries well over water. Plus, more and more noise-making devices have found their way to the lake, both power tools and power toys. It may be a losing battle. People keep inventing new noisemakers (the leaf-blower still in a class by itself as the champion worst invention), companies keep marketing the noisemakers and people keep buy-
ing them. Those who would regulate them can’t keep up, and barely even try. A lot of those noisemakers are popular and there is political risk in cracking down on them. Still, it’s possible that the technology that produced noise-making gadgets can make them quieter. Already, personal watercraft and outboard motors are quieter than they used to be. Could a lightly purring leaf blower be far behind? And what about trucks that don’t beep when they’re backing up late at night. Progress is possible. The car alarms that used to drive neighbourhoods crazy on a nightly basis now sound far less frequently. Other progress will depend on us. City hall can’t do everything. Maybe we could all decide which noisemakers are really essential — such as the hammer hitting the nail
— and which ones can be dispensed with — such as the music that accompanies the hammer hitting the nail. A world with less noise might take some getting used to, but there’s a good chance we’d enjoy it.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton
Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton National Volunteer Week This past week we celebrated National Volunteer Week 2017. It was great time to celebrate and honour the nearly 13 million Canadian volunteers who devote countless hours to make a difference in our communities each and every day! I want to thank all of the volunteers in our riding – in a wide variety of positions, for their selfless dedication to our community. I am so proud of the organizations that work tirelessly to make a difference for people here in Kanata-Carleton, across Canada, and around the world.
April – Month of Military Child April is the Month of the Military Child. Let us take an opportunity to thank those young individuals who play such a critical support role in the military family. To quote the Minister of National Defence, “this presents us with the opportunity to consider the unique circumstances faced by the children of our Canadian women and men in uniform, and the children of Veterans. Military families make sacrifices to keep Canada safe. They have to contend with separation from loved ones, and continual change. Those serving in the family may be frequently absent, on deployments, training, or exercises. This can be difficult for the children in the home.” We should never underestimate the challenges faced by our military children, and take every opportunity we can to thank them for their service.

Ottawa Senators I would like to congratulate the Ottawa Senators for making it to the 2017 NHL Playoffs and for defeating the Boston Bruins in the first round. I’d like to wish the team and their staff all the best as they battle against the New York Rangers in the second round. GO SENS GO!
School Visits to Parliament Hill I would like to thank all the schools that have come to visit Parliament Hill over the past school year. It’s a highlight of mine to meet the many students that visit from our riding. Our students have a unique opportunity to learn about government right in the nation’s capital. I hope their visits to Parliament were insightful and I would encourage more schools to plan a visit.

Two from West Carleton honoured as volunteers Special to the Review
Two West Carleton residents were among 64 recipients of the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers presented at Ottawa City Hall April 28. The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers, which recognizes exceptional volunteer achievements of Canadians, is the nation’s highest award for volunteers. Receiving the award, presented by Her Excellency Sharon Johnston, the wife of Governor General David Johnston, were Greg Patacairk and Len Russell. She was joined at the presentation ceremony by City of Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and West Carleton-March Coun. Eli ElChantiry. Greg Patacairk has served as president of the Dunrobin Community Association as well as being a coach and special needs instructor in the community. Len Russell has served as president and in other executive offices with the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association for over 20 years. There were recipients of the award from all 23 wards of the City of Ottawa. The presentation ceremony April 28 happened during National Volunteer Week (April 23 to 29). In her remarks at the ceremony, Her Excellency Sharon Johnston thanked the recipients for voluntarily giving their time and effort to good causes. “Together you are making a real difference in
people’s lives,” she told the recipients. Mayor Watson, in his remarks at the ceremony, noted that the recipients were from all areas of Ottawa, noting volunteers enrich the lives of those in the city and make a positive impact on the various communities in the city. The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers, which recognizes exceptional volunteer achievements by Canadians, is an official honour created by the Crown and is part of the Canadian Honours System. The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers has replaced the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award which was created in 1995. The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers recognizes living Canadians who have made a significant and sustained contribution to the community. Nominations for the award are reviewed by an advisory committee which then makes recommendations to the governor general. The actual Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers consists of a silver circular medal that is 36 mm in diameter with a suspension ring. The obverse depicts a contemporary effigy of the sovereign. The reverse bears a large and a small heart interlaced, set with five maple leaves on the outer edge of the large heart which is surmounted by a coronet bearing three maple leaves. The medal is suspended from a ribbon featuring a pair of red stripes along with five gold strips interspersed with four blue stripes.

Garden Club meeting about perennials by Anita Murray Special to the Review
summer,” he says, preferring instead ones that, through testing at the nursery, prove they can withstand our harsh winters. Of course, he’ll mention new perennials coming out as well, but when asked about his favourites, he admits that picking just a few is too hard. “There are so many of them,” he laughs. His talk will include both sun-loving and shade-loving varieties as well as how to maintain them. “It’s spring, so certain things have to be done in the garden,” such as fertilizing and using mushroom compost and organic matter to improve your soil conditions, he notes. And he welcomes lots of questions, urging those attending to think about what’s causing them problems or things they’re not happy with so he can advise on what to change or improve. Wolodarski’s talk entitled “Perennial Pleasures: New Varieties, Favourites, and How to Choose and Care for Them” takes place this coming Tuesday, May 9, at 7:30 p.m. at the Carp Memorial Hall, 3739 Carp Rd. (at Donald B. Munro Drive). Nonmembers are welcome (there is a nominal fee of $5 for nonmembers). For details, visit www.wcgc.ca.
There’s an appeal to perennials that makes them hard to resist. They come back year after year, like an old friend you can always count on, presenting their blooms and foliage in spectacular displays, some propagating to give you new plants for a different spot in the garden, and offering an ever-changing landscape for your beds as one variety fades and another takes its place in the flowering cycle. Perennials are something that horticulturalist Robert Wolodarski has come to love. As the manager of perennials at Artistic Landscape Designs, he has developed an intimate knowledge of them over the past 30 years and he will share some of that expertise at a presentation for the West Carleton Garden Club on Tuesday, May 9. “I don’t think people realize how many varieties we have of perennials,” Wolodarski says. “And every year, growers bring new varieties … every year there is something new.” There are more than 3,000 varieties carried at Artistic alone. Learning about new ones and testing their hardiness Submitted certainly keeps things interesting for Wolodarski, who Robert Wolodarski will be the guest speaker, talking about perennials, notes that any recommendations he makes in his talk and at the May 9th meeting of the West Carleton Garden Club at the Carp slide show are perennials that are hardy for this area. “I am not going much for beauty that lasts only one Special to the Review Memorial Hall.

New women’s team for West Ottawa Soccer By Sarah Ferguson Special to the Review
Ottawa’s first ever League1 Ontario women’s match will be played this Sunday, May 7 at 7 p.m. at Beckwith Park near Carleton Place. West Ottawa Soccer Club was awarded the team at the end of 2016. It is one of three new teams added to the women’s league for the 2017 season.
They will play the Vaughan Azzurri in the home opener at Beckwith Park. The Azzurri finished fourth in league play last year and they also won the 2016 L1 Cup. League1 is the only pro-am, standards-based senior league in Ontario and it provides a pathway from youth and amateur to professional leagues. West Ottawa will be the only club in the women’s divi-

sion from the eastern Ontario region. “From a technical standpoint this will address a gap in the pathway for female soccer players in the region,” said West Ottawa Soccer Club technical director and team head coach Kristina Kiss. “There are plenty of talented players out there looking for the next level of competition and I look forward to working with them,” she added. An Ottawa native herself, Kiss made 75 appearances for the Canadian Women’s National Team from 2000 to 2008. She is joined by former professional player Kwame Telemaque and goalkeeper coach Andrei Badescu, who has worked with the Montreal Impact. West Ottawa Soccer Club was created in 2010 with the merger of the Kanata and Goulbourn soccer clubs. It is the second largest club in North America, with over 8,500 members each year. Admission to the team’s games is free for youth soccer players who wear their jerseys to the game. For all others it’s $5 cash at the door.
WOCRC celebrates volunteer week by jake davies
jake.davies@metroland.com
What better way to celebrate National Volunteers Week with a lunch in honour of those who help keep your organization running at zero cost. So, on Tuesday, April 25 the staff of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) treated their West Carleton area volunteers to lunch at their relatively newly launched hub located at the Bethel United Church in Fitzroy Harbour. “We want to show our appreciation for our volunteers and raise awareness,” WOCRC Volunteer Services Assistant Dolores Smith said. “We wanted to raise awareness in the communities of Fitzroy Harbour and Galetta and let them know we’re here to help and provide support. It’s a rural community out here and we’re trying
to learn about the different challenges. We’re here with open ears.” The WOCRC provides many programs and services for Ottawans. In the rural areas, WOCRC focuses on seniors and adults with physical disabilities but also provides assistance in the form of programs supporting women and youth. About 18 volunteers took advantage of the opportunity for a delicious, home cooked lunch of spaghetti, salad, coffee and tea as well as desert. Many of the volunteers in the rural area provide transportation assistance for seniors. Tillie Bastien is one such volunteer who has been giving her time for more than 15 years. She drives seniors to the monthly Diners Club and helps serve food as well. “When mom and dad got older, they moved in with us,” the Dunrobin resident who makes her living in the

WOCRC volunteers enjoy lunch at Bethel United Church in Fitzroy Harbour. Real Estate business said. “At the time my husband Garry and I worked full time and it was difficult to care for them. The resource centre helped us out. It really saved us. I said when I could help out, I would. It’s been great.” She also fundraises for the Diners Club program. Bastien and her professional community would regularly network and meet at the Heart and Soul Café for what she called the Breakfast Club. They would share tips, and over the Christmas season, instead of sharing gifts,
raised money for the program. Bastien said last Christmas they raised about $500. Smith says the WOCRC has about 22 volunteers serving the West Carleton area. Last November, the WOCRC launched two service hubs in West Carleton, one in Constance Bay and one in Fitzroy Harbour to better help serve the West Carleton community. Smith says the WOCRC could not function as effectively as it does without it’s network of volunteers, but is always looking for more. FSA 45 | Battery Trimmer

WCSS Wolves top of NCSSAA Tier 2 Lacrosse early in season by jake davies
jake.davies@metroland.com
A commanding 6-0 win over Lester B. Pearson puts the West Carleton Secondary School Wolves on top of the Tier 2 Lacrosse standings. The Wolves are tied with Sacred Heart; both undefeated after two regular season games. Each win is important in a six-game season. The Wolves defeated Glebe Collegiate 5-4 during a match on April 21. It’s a strong start for an inexperienced squad that even features a few players that have never played the game before. Assistant coach Cassandra McCabe says her team is made up of “mostly hockey players, some who have played lacrosse indoors, a few who have played out-
doors and some who have never played.” The team features players from grades 9 to 12 and it was a Grade 10 student that provided much of the Wolves’ scoring. Carter Newsome scored four goals while Connor Armstrong and James Owen provided singles. McCabe says what the team lacks in experience, it makes up for in spirit. “We’ve got great camaraderie,” she said. “They’re a really tight team. They do everything together and really support one another.” All games in the lacrosse season are played at Minto Field in Nepean. The Wolves’ next game is against Sacred Heart on May 2 (too late for coverage in this publication). They finish out the regular season with games on May 5, May 11 and May 16.
At left, Carter Newsome fires a shot at the Lester B. Pearson goalie. Newsome led all scorers with four goals in the game. At bottom left, Tye Wetzel braces for impact while protecting the ball. At bottom right, Tyler Nicholson cradles the ball while looking to make a pass. The Wolves are 2-0 after defeating Glebe Collegiate and Lester B. Pearson to start the season.

Forests display flush of colour in spring by michael runtz
When I worked in Algonquin Park, my friend, mentor, and boss Dan Strickland used to talk about the “spring colours.” Our area is famous for the “fall colours” that in autumn paint hillsides with dazzling shades of orange, red, and yellow but Dan astutely noted that in early spring, forests also display a flush of colour, albeit one considerably more subtle than the brazen colours that dominate the autumn landscape. He was referring to the soft greens, greys, and pinks that appear when tree leaves first begin to open. Other colours are present in early spring and while they aren’t due to the opening of leaves, trees do create them. Those colours arise from tree flowers that are currently on display in local forests. Some, like those of sugar maple and ironwood, are yellow-green while others, like those of pin cherry and downy serviceberry, are
white. Some species of trees sport “perfect” flowers in which both the stamens, the male parts that produce pollen, and the pistil, the female part that receives pollen and contains eggs that after fertilization become seeds, are housed in one package. Chokecherries bear this type of flower. Other trees bear flowers that contain only one sex. In white pines, each tree holds both flower sexes but the female flowers are up high while the male flowers are lower down on the tree. Pines are wind pollinated so this physical separation helps prevent self-pollination (pollen cannot rise from a tree’s male flowers onto its female flowers positioned high above them), and explains why pine cones are always near the top of a tree. Some species produce only one sex of flower on individual trees. Trembling aspen is one, producing long, drooping catkins that contain stamens on some trees and pistils on others. Maples are a more complex group. Many species have individual trees that bear flow-
SAVE THE DATE MAY 27th
ers containing both sexes while other individual trees produce unisexual flowers but have both types on the same tree. And then there are red maples, whose flowers are currently making forests blush red. Now, I’m referring to our native red maple,
not the common cultivar of Norway maple planted in urban settings that bears red leaves all summer. Most young red maples produce flowers containing only one sex (thus, some trees are male, others female). To my eye, female flowers are redder than male flowers, which display an orange tint. Older trees can bear both flower sexes but they are housed on different branches. What is more
unusual is that in the autumn, the leaves of trees that contain only female flowers turn bright yellow while those of trees with male flowers turn bright red! There is another, even more unusual feature of red maples. In late winter and early spring, moose seek them out to devour strips of their bark. They attain these by jabbing their lower incisors (like whitetailed deer as moose lack up-
per incisors) into the bark and ripping it upwards, producing distinctive marks on the trunk. Oddly, moose ignore the bark of sugar maples, which usually greatly outnumber red maples in a forest. Why moose select only red maples remains unknown. Red Maples truly are trees of mystery! The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca

Emerson’s mouse catching
M
other couldn’t understand how a mouse could get into the house. There were no holes in the baseboards like the ones at the Northcote School, she saw to that. All the doors going into the house shut tight, and yet during the winter, Father set at least two traps before he went to bed, and it was nothing to hear a mousetrap snap in the middle of the night downstairs. And I would know, and yet I never actually saw him do it, that Father would slide the lid off the Findlay Oval, and the dead mouse would be fed into the fire box. But spring had arrived, and the mice, to Mother’s great relief, now preferred the barns. My brother Emerson loved the mice. He was sure if he caught one, he could train it to do tricks, and it would become a pet. Mother, of course, forbid him to even think such thoughts. Then one night I saw Emerson do something I was sure
I N
Memories would send him right off to reform school, which I heard talked of by the Senior Fourth boys, but knew little about. All I knew was it was the last place on earth any youngster wanted to be. Somehow Emerson had caught a mouse out in the barn, and he stood in the frame of the kitchen door, with the mouse dangling by its tail from his clenched fist. He announced he was going to train the squirming and squawking thing to do tricks, and would charge at least a nickel for the show he expected to put on for the entire neighbourhood.
Well! Mother’s screams could be heard in Admaston. My sister Audrey moved like a bullet to climb onto a chair, and I ran behind the curtain that hung in the staircase leading to the upstairs, peaking out to watch, but well away from the action. Father never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal. He was well used to Emerson’s antics, and unless he was causing someone bodily harm, shut his mind and his eyes to whatever my brother was up to. See BARN CAT, page 25

Barn cat is brought into the house Continued from page 24
Mother came at Emerson swinging a towel in the general direction of the mouse, only connecting after several tries. I didn’t think that was a smart thing for her to do, because once she hit the mouse, it went flying off Emerson’s clenched fingers, and vanished into the parlour, the closest door of escape. The first thing Mother ordered Emerson to do was go to the wash basin, and scrub his hands thoroughly with the lye soap. She was sure every disease known to man was first started by a mouse. She told Father she wasn’t going to bed until the mouse was caught. All Father said was, “better make a cup of tea, you’ll be up a long time.” Well, the mouse was gone. There was no doubt about it. It found a safe haven in some crevice in the old log house, and Audrey said she wouldn’t be surprised if it stayed hidden over the summer and into the winter.
My brother Emerson loved the mice. He was sure if he caught one, he could train it to do tricks, and it would become a pet Well, such a fuss! I thought this would be a good time to bring up the issue of bringing a barn cat into the house, strictly as a mouser. Well, Mother wasn’t having anything to do with that idea either. Animals belonged in the barn, and that’s all there was to it. It was pitch dark outside when it was finally decided we would all go to bed. Mother ordered Father to put out at least four traps, convinced the mouse couldn’t avoid all of them. Father went to the wood shed, and set the traps, one in the parlour, and three in the kitchen. I knew the poor mouse didn’t stand a chance. Sleep didn’t come easily for me that night, as I pictured in my mind’s eye, the poor terrified mouse
looking for an escape. And then it happened. Not one mouse trap snapped, but four in a row! Well, that tore it. Mother said a barn cat could be brought into the house at bedtime, but she wanted it out first thing in the morning. After that we never knew if the cat caught a mouse or not. But Mother went to bed content, I was thrilled to have a cat in the house, even overnight, and my brother Emerson still thought he could make a pile of money if he could teach a mouse to do tricks.

TO BUYor SELL Don’t buy without these 6 professionals... There you go; you’re ready to buy a house! All through the process it’s essential to do business with numerous professionals whose job is to help you make enlightened choices. Before starting to shop around for houses, contact a REAL ESTATE AGENT. They will determine your needs, make you think about lots of details that you wouldn’t otherwise have thought of and, all the time, will work with your interests at heart. You’ve found just what you were looking for? Avoid any unwelcome surprises by asking a BUILDING INSPECTOR to examine the house you’re interested in from top to bottom. A REAL ESTATE APPRAISER will, for his part, allow you to know the true value of
the property. Be sure that his report will be accepted by the bank so as not to have a second one done. Ask the advice of a land surveyor and verify if a recent certificate of localisation will be needed. You’re ready to sign? You should be aware that, as the buyer, it is you who will pay the LAWYER’S or NOTARY’S fees. This person will, therefore, have your particular interests at heart. You will also need proof of insurance when it comes time to sign the deeds. It can never be repeated often enough the importance of being well insured against all eventualities thanks to the advice of a good INSURANCE AGENT. Concerning the mortgage, don’t do all the laborious negotiations with financial institutions yourself. Entrust all that to a MORTGAGE NEGOTIATOR, a reliable service... and it’s free!
Buying a home: how much can you afford? You’d like to set a budget in order to purchase a condominium, house or any other type of home, but you don’t know where to start? The maximum purchase price you can pay depends on several factors. Here are some guidelines to help you. First, calculate all your monthly household expenses, including housing, communications, entertainment, savings, insurance, healthcare and transpor tation. The more realistically you record your expenses, the better your idea of what you can pay towards a house. Next, you need to determine the exact amount of all your debts. Mortgage len ders will ask you for this information, so be prepared. Now note all the costs of buying and owning a property, such as a home inspection, transfer tax and a notary or lawyer’s fees. Calculate how much of a down payment can you come up with. Keep in mind the federal guideline that says you shouldn’t let your monthly housing costs (mortgage, interest, taxes and heating) exceed 28 per cent of your average gross monthly income. Generally, your debttoincome ratio (the total amount you spend each month to repay all your debts, including housing) shouldn’t exceed 36 per cent of your average gross monthly income. If you would like to have more information about your mortgage eligibility or about your ability to pay, visit the website of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

TO BUYor SELL 5 Easy steps to successfully sell your home
Selling your home? Make sure it doesn’t sit on the market for months (or years!) by paying special attention to the following key aspects. 1 ASKING PRICE When it comes to setting the price tag, don’t let your emotional attachment to your home cloud your good judgment. Compare your property to similar dwellings in the area that have recently sold and consider current market conditions to determine an asking price that’s both realistic and competitive. 2 MARKETING
For a quick sale, your home needs to capture and retain the attention of potential buyers. It’s important that you promote your property across multiple platforms, taking care to accompany each ad with as many enticing photos as you can. Include shots of each room as well as of the exte-
rior, both in winter and summer if applicable. Keep in mind that buyers tend to shop by price bracket — if you’d like to sell for $395,000, listing your home at $410,000 because you want to leave room to negotiate could backfire and dissuade potential offers. 3 FIRST IMPRESSIONS To impress your visitors, you’ll need to apply some of the basic principles of home staging to your decor. For instance: • Clean your property from top to bottom and banish all visible clutter — a messy home loses much of its appeal. • From that leaky faucet to the squeaky closet door, take care of any necessary repairs around the house. They may seem minor, but your visitors will take note. • Remove all personal touches from your interior to help visitors imagine themselves occupying the space. For
150 Iber Rd. Stittsville 613-270-8504 www.bondsdecor.ca
example, take your little one’s drawings off the fridge, put away family portraits, and paint over your teen’s bright orange bedroom walls with a neutral shade. • Declutter cupboards and cabinets to better show off your home’s storage potential — an overflowing closet gives the impression of lacking space. Avoid overly busy areas as well as multipurpose rooms. (Is it a home office or a guest bedroom? Pick one.) 4 CURB APPEAL Visitors should be charmed the minute they lay eyes on your property. The facade must appear impeccable and the front yard, minutely maintained. During the winter, make sure the driveway and steps are always free of snow and ice. In the summertime, keep the lawn mowed and the landscaping well groomed, and never neglect the lighting at night.
5 SHOWINGS The most fabulous of homes will remain on the market indefinitely if visiting it proves an unpleasant experience. Take care of any nasty lingering smells (cat litter, fryer oil, etc.) and keep your pets confined — or, better yet, have them stay at a friend’s or family member’s place. Finally, be prepared to answer any and all questions — don’t hide any current or past issues — and avoid making your visitors feel pressured at all costs.
Cleanse, declutter and remove personal items from your home to improve your chances of selling fast.
We Make Curb Appeal Easy! We’re right in your neighbourhood to help protect you better.

Sheep, mink, pigs, cattle - The evolution of a hobby farm Maybe woodworking can keep the farmer busy
T
he face of a farm is ever-changing. When I first moved onto the farm, the pasture was dotted with fluffy white sheep as far as the eye could see. The farmer started with a dozen or so sheep in 1998 when he built the farmhouse to accompany his newly-purchased 200 acres and barn. Every year, he sold the male lambs after weaning and let the females stay to keep the ram busy and build up the herd. Before long, he had a herd of 200 sheep. The farm was quite wellsuited to sheep farming, but it didn’t start out that way. A long while ago, The Fisher Farm was a mink farm. Then it was a piggery for years. The feeders and pens were built low to the ground to accommodate the pigs, so the farmer didn’t have to renovate much to host his sheep. Cattle are another story. We added two Hereford
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife cows to our menagerie in 2008, and slowly started building that herd so we could move out of sheep farming. Sheep are hard on your back. You are in a constant bent-over state, trimming their hooves, shearing them, administering their monthly shots and pulling them out of whatever mess they have managed to entangle themselves in. I also found sheep farming extremely hard on my heart. With lambing season happening at the tail end of winter, a freezing cold barn often meant a high lamb mortality
rate. Sheep are also adept at contracting all varieties of disease, named in the most obvious of ways: stiff leg disease; hard bag; foot rot; sore mouth; bent leg; frothy bloat; and even fuzzy lamb syndrome. Sheep farming was never a very good moneymaker for us. We did it because we enjoyed it, and as the farmer says, it kept him busy. Cattle farming was, for the most part, a much simpler venture. The cows often give birth without any human interven-
tion or help. We have had at least one problem calf each year that requires bottle feeding or other assistance at the start. But other than the first week or so where we have to keep mom and babe inside the pen (which used to house sheep and is constantly getting destroyed by cows), cattle farming has been pretty easy. The cattle test our fences for us every year. If there is a weak section of fence, they will find it. Then we get a call from a neighbour about cows in the road, or in their backyard. That’s how the farmer knows it is time to reinforce the electric wiring. Cattle farming has been fairly profitable for us over the past few years, but last year’s drought was a real lesson in what can happen when your meadows don’t replenish themselves. We had to dip into our win-
ter hay storage to feed our herd during the summer. This was expensive. When we factored in how much we were getting for each calf sent to market, we realized they weren’t exactly paying their room and board. It may be time for another step in the evolution of the Fisher Farm. “I think I’m slowing down a bit,” said the farmer as we sipped our drinks during the first afternoon patio-sit of the season. “I hate to think of not being the farmer anymore though …” and by that I knew he was referring to his farming as a hobby to keep him from getting bored in his semi-retirement. How a real estate agent who is building a log cabin and maintaining his own property has time to get bored is beyond me. But I know farming is important to him as it keeps him healthy.
With animals depending on you making a trip to the barn each morning and night, you are getting out of the house in all kinds of weather. I really think this is why he is never sick — because he spends so much time outdoors. Then there is the shovelling of their manure and pitching their hay. You save money on a gym membership. We can rent out the rest of our pasture fields for cash crops, but it would be nice to find something else to occupy the barns, and keep the farmer busy. I’m thinking about all that woodworking equipment he has in the shed. I know several people who would really appreciate some handmade wood furniture, including yours truly. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail. com

CLASSIFIED DEATH NOTICE
BESHARAH, MARgAREt AnnE
July 10, 1936 - April 27, 2017 It is with deep sadness and sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Anne (Wallace) Besharah, at Granite Ridge Long Term Care, on April 27, 2017 in her 80th year. Adored, proud and most devoted mother of Eric Hanna (Margot), Nancy Hanna (David Thomas) and Alexis Hanna (Hubert Lalande). Loving grandmother of Kristine, Elizabeth, Patrick, Madison, Adelise and Matthew. Cherished sister of Doug Wallace (Marie-Claire) of Ottawa. A constant loving aunt to Marc and David Wallace. Predeceased by Robert G. Hanna and Moses J. Besharah. Defining herself as a ‘positive thinker with a high degree of creativity’, Anne proudly graduated from Carleton University with a Bachelor’s in Journalism, at the top of her class in 1957. Early in her career as a young writer, Anne authored the Special Senate report, “Poverty in Canada” (1971). As a journalist, Anne’s distinguished career was spent principally with the Canadian Nurses Association as their Chief Editor for The Canadian Nurse for thirteen years. As a second career, Anne entered the world of Real Estate, receiving the Royal Lepages’ President’s Gold Award (1987) within her first year. In the later stages of her life, she enjoyed spending her time at the cottage, gardening, with family, friends, and pets. The family is extremely grateful for the loving care and support she received at Granite Ridge Care Community over the past three years. Family and friends were invited to celebrate her life at the Amberwood Village Golf and Country Club, 54 Springbrook Drive, Stittsville, on Wednesday May 3, 2017 from 2 to 5pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Parkinson’s Canada Association (http://www.parkinson. ca/site/c.kgLNIWODKpF/b.5184129/ k.2CBF/Donate_Now.htm).

Red Trillium Studio and Garden Tour Special to the Review
Get ready for the semi-annual Red Trillium Studio and Garden Tour. This year, the 36th semi-annual edition of this tour of studios and gardens of artists and artisans in West Carleton is happening on Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. On this Red Trillium Studio and Garden Tour — which is self-guided around Carp, Dunrobin and Kinburn — you will be able to meet local craftspeople right in their studios. These studios will feature paintings, photography, woodworking, blown glass, pottery, jewelry, women’s clothing, forged decorative iron, stone sculpture and silk textiles. St. Mary’s Church — a heritage building — is also a
stop on the tour, where refreshments will be available. This spring’s tour will highlight five unique private gardens. At some of these gardens, there will be plants for sale and gardening advice offered. You can pick up a brochure/map about this spring 2017 Red Trillium Studio and Garden Tour from local restaurants including The Cheshire Cat, at Carp Road and Richardson Sideroad, and Alice’s in Carp; the Heart and Soul and Sammy’s in Dunrobin; and Poco Pazzo off March Road. You can also visit the webpage, www.redtrilliumst. com, to download a brochure and map and obtain detailed information about the craftspeople at each studio. You can also check out Facebook at www.facebook.com/RedTrilliumTour.
Blanket exercise on Saturday, June 17 Special to the Review
The Anglican Parish of Huntley is holding a community celebration to honour National Aboriginal Day on Saturday, June 17 from 10 a.m. to noon. This free event will take place on the lawn of the parish hall at 3774 Carp Road. It will be held inside the parish hall if it is raining. As part of the event’s activities, Kairos Canada is hosting a blanket exer-
cise which is an informative and emotional teaching on the history of Canada’s first peoples, colonization and reconciliation. This blanket exercise will be led by teenager Theland Kicknosway and his mother Elaine. These two will lead what promises to be an amazing educational opportunity. There is a need for a variety of volunteers to serve as “actors” to help tell the stories and to help those
participating in this blanket exercise. Both teenagers and adults are encouraged to volunteer for these roles. If you would like to help out, please email the Rev. Monique Stone of the Anglican Parish of Huntley at huntleypriest@bellnet.ca. Besides the blanket exercise, the event will also involve hospitality and music. Everyone is welcome to attend.

WOCRC welcomes new executive director by jessica cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
The new executive director of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) brings a wealth of knowledge to the position. Melody Paruboczy, who has been at the helm of the organization for four months now, has more than 20 years of experience in many areas that are in common with the resource centre's work. “This is the exciting part of this agency, and this position for me, in that it does touch on a lot of different things I've done in my past,” said the Stittsville resident. “I feel like it’s all coming together under one roof here.” Paruboczy is the former executive director of a number of nonprofit organizations, including Mothercraft Ottawa, the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, Vista Centre and the Movement for Canadian Literacy. Paruboczy, who graduated from Loyalist College in the behaviour science/social service worker program and went on to receive a bachelor of arts with

Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers I would like to congratulate two Ward 5 residents on receiving the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers at a ceremony at Ottawa City Hall on April 28.

Congratulations to both men on receiving this prestigious recognition. 36 West Carleton Review - Thursday, May 4, 2017

just digging in and understanding everything that we do and all the nuances of it and just making sure that we really are interconnected.” Two areas that Paruboczy is excited about include the “living lab” adult day program at Algonquin College and the push to extend more services to rural parts of the centre’s catchment area. “We haven’t always done the best job really in providing services in the West Carleton area, so now it really is a big focus for us to be bringing supports and services out to the more rural areas,” she said. Last year, the centre opened two service hubs — one in Constance Bay and another in Fitzroy Harbour — to make accessing services easier for rural residents. The WOCRC has also started a “community helpers” program, a volunteer training tool developed by Algonquin College that’s aimed at giving people confidence to help their neighbours. “It’s a different way of looking at supports in the community,” said Paruboczy, adding the training is open to everybody no matter where they live. “This is an opportunity for neighbours, community leaders, anybody who’s interested in taking the training, just to give them a little added confidence in supporting their neighbours.”

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Accept that sometimes things will not go your way, Aries. However, you can learn to adapt and find balance in any situation you find yourself in.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Next week may be a better time to make a big decision, Leo. Coast along for a little bit longer and get a feel for the lay of the land before making your decision.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Think of something you can do that will be a big risk and out of character, Sagittarius. It may give you a rush of adrenaline this week and pave the way for new interests.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Discovering all of the answers need not be your goal all the time, Taurus. Keep in mind that the journey can sometimes be more rewarding than the destination.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Coming across memorabilia or old photographs may have you thinking about those who came before you, Virgo. It is a good week for introspection and reminiscing.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you can handle whatever comes your way. You are the only one who can derail your plans.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, don’t hesitate to let others know how much they mean to you. Such simple gestures will be appreciated and help you maintain strong relationships with those you love most.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, don’t let any opportunity pass you by this week — even those that may seem like they won’t yield much reward. Everything is a learning opportunity.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Someone you wouldn’t normally look to for advice provides some invaluable wisdom in the days ahead, Aquarius. Heed this advice and express your gratitude.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, when in doubt, speak with someone who has more experience than you. It’s a big person who can accept help when it’s needed, and others will be willing to help.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Obsessive thoughts will not make the solution to a problem come any easier. It’s better if you clear your head and then maybe the ideas will arrive when you least expect.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, instead of focusing on all of the little details, look at the bigger picture. This will prove to be the inspiration you need to stay motivated.

CARP
Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills
Another Sham Budget So the 2017-2018 budget is out. This year’s budget is the government’s last opportunity to convince Ontarians to give them another chance. Predictably, the government is congratulating itself on a supposedly balanced budget and a mass of new ‘investments’. But don’t be fooled. The budget isn’t really balanced. The government is hiding a $5 billion operational deficit with one-off revenues and inappropriate use of assets. Government apparatchiks have papered over a lot of what they owe with revenue from the embarrassing fire-sale of Hydro One and the carbon tax boondoggle. They’re also citing assets held by public-sector pension plans as government assets – a cheap trick which Ontarians should easily see through. But it gets worse. The budget says that Ontario’s debt will go up another 8% over the next two years to $336 billion. This means that the government has no plan to reduce Ontario’s massive debt – a debt which has more than doubled since they took power. Annual interest payments on this debt amount to $12 billion. This is just about the cost of a gas plant scandal every month. It is also significantly more than this government spends on post-secondary education and community safety combined. Ontarians deserve a better deal than this. The 2018 election can’t come soon enough!

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters
Q: My wife and I are selling our home of 25 years and moving into our cottage that
we purchased in 2014. Neither our home nor our cottage has ever been rented, and we own no other real estate. How do we best allocate the principal residence exemption on sale of our home to reduce the capital gains tax?
Since 1982, a taxpayer and spouse are limited to a single principal residence designation. You may designate either your home or your cottage as your principal residence in the years it is lived in at some point by you, or a family member. Since you owned no other real estate until the acquisition of the cottage in 2014, you will designate your home as your principal residence until at least the year ending 2013. The question remaining is, do you designate your home as your principal residence to include the year of sale in 2017, or do you end the designation in an earlier year?
Factors to consider include: which property accrued the most gains from 2013, the time value of money and your plans for disposition of the cottage. For example, if the cottage accrued significantly more in capital gains than your home and you plan to dispose of the cottage in the near future, it might be worthwhile taking the tax hit now by not designating your home for your entire period of ownership. By contrast, if your plan is not to dispose of the cottage for many years, it may be better to designate your home for the entire period of ownership and not pay tax on the gain on its disposition.
The principal residence exemption is allocated by a formula based on the period of the designation to the years the property is owned. If you designate your home as your principal residence for the entire period owned ending 2017, the entire gain is exempted. If you designate your home for the period from acquisition in 1982 and ending 2013, then the formula will exempt 22/25 of the capital gain, resulting in some taxable capital gain.
The use of the principal residence exemption is very fact specific and you should seek the advice of your professional advisers when filing your tax returns for the period of sale, to confirm the most advantageous tax treatment and to fulfil your reporting obligations to CRA.
