Flooded home never-ending battle for exhausted Constance Bay parent

BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

The volunteers are gone, the city staff and politicians are gone, but for Ash Weaver, the water is still there.

And she is battling it as best she can, every day, 24-hours a day.

Ash Weaver is a parent of two, a partner to one, a volunteer firefighter and a Constance Bay resident with a basement full of water.

Driving down Baldwin Street in Constance Bay on Friday, May 12, five days after the Ottawa River peaked at record high levels, it is obvious many residents are still dealing with all that water.

Many homes still have hoses coming out of their basements, moving water from one place to another.

It is sunny out, but it is far from dry.

For Weaver, it has been a couple of weeks of long days and sleepless nights. She says the May 10 emergency flood meeting held by the city in Constance Bay is the most sleep she’s got this week.

Her home was not a victim of flood waters as she’s well back from the shores of the Ottawa River. Weaver and her family are the victims of rising ground water, which continues to

rise. A text from Weaver on Sunday, May 14 said her basement water level rose to 18 inches above her basement floor over the weekend.

“Wednesday (May 3) is when it started for me,” she told the West Carleton Review from her home last Friday. “It’s hard for me to remember because since then, it has seemed like one long day.”

Weaver was prepared for the rain, or at least she thought she was.

On April 18, Weaver noticed the depression in her basement floor where an old oil tank used to be located was wet.

The following day she had a sump pump installed in the house.

By April 27, the water started coming through the carpet of their finished basement. Weaver brought in an old pool pump with an inch and a half diameter hose.

Ash, her partner Heidi and their children Walter, 5, and Malcolm, 5 weeks, bought the home around a year ago.

“The paper work said there had never been flooding,” Weaver said.

“Our neighbours said, in 35 years they have never used their sump pump.”

School trips part of Carp EcoWellness education

BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

A quick spray of a remedy made of oils and herbs, and the First Avenue Public School Grade 4 and 5 class have a homemade anti-tick concoction; they are ready for a walk in the Carp Ridge woods.

The Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre is bringing a unique opportunity to area schoolchildren by offering outdoor education on their 190 acres of rocky wilderness overlooking the Carp River valley — a wilderness containing all manner of wildlife, including white pines, ash, spruce and ironwood, as well as songbirds, hawks and owls.

“I ask them what they want based on their grade and the curriculum,” owner and operator Katherine Willow said.

“We teach foraging, medicinal herbs, biology, hibernation and migration, we have a low ropes course — we even teach adventure and survival.

“We can pretty much adapt to any curriculum, and we make it hands-on and fun.”

Youth program manager Jared Oldford can cater a program to any class.

“The Number 1 priority is that they have fun,” he said.

“We can achieve education easily if the students are enjoying themselves and getting involved. History, geology, math, physical education.

“Any class they can take at their school, we can provide a program here that adheres to the curriculum in a new and unique setting.”

An on-site cook can prepare all organic meals or snacks.

“We want kids to connect with nature in a magical way, without becoming rigid environmentalists,” Willow added.

“This isn’t available in everyone’s backyard. We want to help get kids away from their screens.”

OTTAWA RIVER FLOOD 2017

Connected to your community

Flooded basement throws family life in to upheaval Weaver story one of many unfolding across West Carleton as residents deal with aftermath of flood

From Front page

Weaver has used as many as seven pumps in her basement since the end of April and has not once seen her basement floor in that time.

“When I was trying to save the furnace, I had six or seven pumps going,” Weaver said.

She lost that battle.

She lost the battle to save her carpet, her rubber flooring for the gym, the drywall, and many other battles along the way. Insurance adjusters have been by three times to assess the damage, and each time they left suggesting Weaver give them a call when the water is gone.

“This was all before the big heave last weekend,” she said.

From the first sign of the wet carpet to last Sunday, Weaver has spent more than $4,000 on pumps, fuel and equipment.

Weaver battles the water, lack of sleep, the cold, and even, despite it being late April, the snow.

When she’s not working the pumps and trying to save her house, she is driving her oldest son to school and travelling between the family home and the father-in-law’s Nepean home where the rest of her family is staying during these difficult times.

When she’s not doing those things, she’s helping her neighbours with their flood-related issues. Volunteer firefighters and their knowledge are hot commodities in Constance Bay these days.

When she’s not working, she’s stressing.

She’s walking through a foot and a half of water in her basement with numerous extension chords travelling in and out of the house, powering the pumps.

“Am I nervous of all the electricity?” Weaver asks.

“I’ve definitely thought about it quite a bit. Yesterday, there was an oil-type film on the water. I’m not sure what that’s going to do to the house when the water is gone.”

She’s also not sure what day it is.

She asks when trying to calculate what day it was she lost the furnace. Weaver thinks of all the things she has to do between monitoring pumps and water levels.

“I’ll need to empty the basement; clean out the pumps; call my insurance again, the furnace people, adjusters and contractors; apply for disaster relief; document everything, take photos and find receipts,” Weaver said.

Weaver says the whole community is in the same boat, struggling to return their lives to normal, but not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel.

“I really had no idea it was going to get that high,” she said.

“Last week I was naïve to think the water would be gone and the restoration company would be here by now. Now I have no idea. I don’t think I’ve really slept since last Wednesday. It’s been a really rough month.”

- Constance Bay homeowner Ash Weaver “I don’t think anyone did. My friends texted me a photo of the one loop of sandbags they circled their house with last week. They thought they were done. I spent Saturday and Sunday sandbagging with them as the water kept rising.”

Weaver, who has not been at work since the flooding began, said her employer has been really understanding.

She’s a solar technician for iSolara.

Her partner runs her own financial planning business but has been on maternity leave.

The flood is just another in a long line of struggles the Weavers’ have

faced recently.

Ash is just at the end of a monthlong battle with carbon monoxide poisoning she suffered while on duty as a firefighter.

“That was really scary,” Weaver said. “I felt like I didn’t have control of my arms and legs. I had trouble communication even though I knew what I wanted to say.”

The family car also died, forcing Ash and Heidi to cancel their planned wedding in September so they could use the money to purchase a newto-them vehicle

– which now sits in the driveway surrounded by water.

While Weaver was optimistic a while ago, she now has no idea when her family’s life will return to some sort of normal.

“I don’t know, there’s no telling,” she said. “Last week I was naïve to think the water would be gone and the restoration company would be here by now. Now I have no idea. I don’t think I’ve really slept since last Wednesday.

It’s been a really rough month.”

Coun. Eli El-Chantiry knows the Weaver family is representative of many who are still battling the water in Constance Bay long after the media have moved on to the next story.

“We have a long way to go,” he told the West Carleton Review last Friday.

“A month from now people are still going to need help.”

cial services and the Red Cross continue to have a base of operations in Constance Bay and Fitzroy Harbour.

While El-Chantiry is unsure how long the centres will remain open, he did stress they will remain open ‘for the long haul.”

El-Chantiry stresses patience as affected residents are losing theirs.

“Let’s wait,” he said. “This is going to take a long time.”

Last weekend the Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs announced the disaster relief application process had started giving affected residents 120 days to apply for disaster relief funding.

The City of Ottawa will also make their building officials available to check foundations of affected homeowners.

“Now is the time to focus on clean up and repair,” El-Chantiry said.

Twenty-fourth of May held many a mystery

M

y sister Audrey was in an unusual talking mood that Saturday morning.

There would be no visiting with her friend Iva. Aunt Bertha, Iva’s mother, was into the spring housecleaning, and every hand was needed.

We were sitting in the grape arbour, yet to sprout its leaves, swinging in the two-seater, and I thought it was a good time to ask Audrey something that had been on my mind since the nicer weather came around.

There was something unusual to me about the date, the 24th of May. It seemed to me, that was almost a magical day, because so much depended on it. My thinking about it started the Sunday before when we were scarcely into the beginning of the month, and I came downstairs ready for church, and wearing my new white gloves.

As soon as mother saw them on me, she said I would have to take them off, because you couldn’t wear white gloves until

MARY COOK Memories after the 24th of May. That was news to me, but when I asked mother why, she said ‘just because,’ which was supposed to satisfy me, but didn’t.

And even though it was as hot as blazes out, mother came out of the bedroom in her felt hat with the cluster of cherries on the crown.

I thought it was high time she put on the straw hat with the satin ribbon on it that Aunt Lilly had brought her from Ottawa, but according to my sister Audrey, you just couldn’t wear a summer hat until after the 24th of May. Well, there it was again, that 24th of May business.

Father said an early spring meant an early summer, and he was right, because even

though it was May, it was as hot as blazes, and mother was already pulling the blinds down in the house after breakfast, and keeping everything locked up tight during the day.

And so that Saturday sitting in the swing with my sister Audrey, I asked her again, what was so special about the 24th of May, when, it seemed to me, the entire world revolved around that day.

Audrey pursed her lips and went deep into thought. She said she was pretty sure it had to do with the old woman in Renfrew who told fortunes. She said she thought she had put a curse on the day.

I asked her what a curse had to do with wearing white gloves, a straw hat, or swimming in the

Bonnechere, and how she could possibly send a curse all the way out to Northcote.

My sister Audrey thought for the longest minute, and then said that some things just couldn’t be explained, and for our own good we’d better accept them, or we could get into serious trouble.

With no money, the Depression all around us, depending on a rich aunt from Regina for the very clothes on our backs, and many other things beyond our control, I figured I would just have to accept Audrey’s explanation because more trouble was something we didn’t need.

After all, wasn’t she in Senior Fourth and the smartest girl at the Northcote School? And if anyone knew the answer to the mystery of the 24th of May, it would be my sister Audrey.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Flood response too shallow

I

t is going to be weeks before things return to anything near normal in those areas that have been swamped with flood waters.

And for those homeowners directly affected, it is going to be even longer before their lives return to stability.

But while the cleanup may linger on, a consensus seems to be developing quickly in the community about the city’s response to the emergency.

It is obvious from the information meetings for those affected that these victims feel the city was just a little slow in its reaction to the flooding.

The water was rising and the city’s response did not seem urgent.

This feeling that the city was slow getting off the mark was further exacerbated by the decision not to declare a state of emergency.

Mayor Jim Watson stated the city had all of the resources it needed and so there was no reason to declare a state of emergency. But a state of emergency declaration would have had immense value in showing that the city was taking this as seriously as possible.

There seems to have been a lack of co-ordination of volunteers in this whole crisis.

In this day and age when instantaneous commu-

nication is the norm, there were gaps connecting the numerous and very willing volunteers out in the field to the those most in need.

People had questions: When would supplies be arriving? When would sand be delivered? Who’s in charge?

Perhaps the city was reluctant to be too involved in volunteer co-ordination to eliminate any city liability should something go wrong and a volunteer was injured. But if the city is unwilling to totally commit itself to volunteers and their efforts, then it should have called in the Armed Forces to help.

But instead, there was no state of emergency, no army help.

The city can’t have it both ways – either go all in with volunteers or call in help from the Forces. Instead, the city seemed to sit on the fence, happy with volunteer efforts as long as the city could maintain an arm’s-length approach, an ideal situation for our liability-conscious city.

All in all, we would hope the city undertakes a thorough study and examination of the flood of 2017, with particular emphasis on consulting with the flood victims, those most affected, and, for once in its consultations, listening to what is said.

May long weekend still a time for relaxation

T

he coming weekend, in which thousands of Canadians go in search of a lake, is a peculiarly Canadian

thing.

The phrase “24th of May weekend” is something probably only Canadians understand. For when you look at it, the 24th of May long weekend quite often does not include the 24th of May, yet when a Canadian says “24th of May weekend” all other Canadians know exactly what he means.

They may not, in fact, even know what the actual holiday is about — namely Queen Victoria’s birthday, which has somehow been allowed to shift around by Canadians so that it always falls on a Monday and not necessarily on the 24th.

Queen Victoria herself, born in 1819, was not consulted on this, you can be sure.

city into the country is anything but simple. We are fortunate here.

You can get into the Gatineau in half an hour. Your route to Highway 15 or Highway 7 may be slowed a bit Funny Town at the beginning of a long weekend, but it is more of an annoyance than a headache and soon you’re on your way.

Would you like your birthday to Granted, it’s not four lanes all be always on Monday?

Anyway, we know what it means, the way and you might be behind and many of us pack our cars full of someone for whom speed is not the food and drink and stuff for the dog, highest priority.

But if you’ve done it often plus nails and screws and hinges to fix things, and a book we somehow enough, you know enough to be patient. Just have a chat or listen think we’ll have time to read, and to the radio to take your mind off head down the highway as soon as it — keeping in mind that there are we can get off work on Friday.

Considering the iffy weather and stretches where no radio signal is the length of the drive, many people available. Somewhere between Sharbot Lake and Kaladar on Highway 7 consider this madness. is one such dead zone.

It may be, but it is less so here Radio signals are not the only than in a place like Toronto, where the simple act of driving out of the things absent on Highway 7.

Each year, it seems that there are more closed restaurants, more closed gas stations, more closed motels.

The changing nature of the roadside economy is nowhere more dramatically displayed.

It’s sad, all the broken dreams that those closed doors and sagging buildings represent.

Families travel differently than they used to. They don’t stop as frequently to eat in the small towns.

And when they do, they look to fast food chains. They are less likely to stop at motels. So the roadside economy takes a hit and we see it as we drive by.

The cottage economy has changed too, except that it has grown.

The people who own cottages spend longer there and spend more on supplies from cottage towns.

Those towns have sprouted fancy restaurants, ice cream parlours and

real estate offices.

About the only thing that hasn’t changed is the cottage itself. Sure, it might have WiFi and a satellite dish, but when you step outside, it’s still the 24th of May, even when it isn’t.

Letter about Diefenbooker Classic To the Editor: We would like to sincerely thank the Diefenbooker Classic Committee for dedicating the 21st Annual Classic in honour of my late wife Brenda Robertson. We were overwhelmed when James Collings called to get permission and very grateful for the offer.

Family, friends and neighbours either attended the event or made donations in Brenda’s name. A special thank you to my son Trevor who re-

turned from Vancouver for this very special day.

The most important group to acknowledge is the participants who braved terrible weather conditions and subsequently made the event a success. Although the amount raised wasn’t higher than previous years, it was very significant for the approx.

675 people who braved the elements!

Our family and friends walked a “Special Walk “in acknowledgement

of Brenda and all she meant to everyone. We were cheered through the finish line by Committee members, Volunteers, Ottawa Public Library staff and close friends from the Madawaska Readers Club!

The Ottawa police Officers who provided their services free of charge are close family friends and knew Brenda well. We are very grateful for their participation and to them the event was a personal favour to her and

her family.

To all those who have participated, supported or are aware of the Diefenbooker Classic, please continue to do so, it is probably one of the few fundraisers that is 100 per cent family orientated, run entirely by dedicated volunteers and ensures our rural libraries are given the necessary (and a little bit more!) funds to provide quality services.

Brenda would want to have the fi-

nal say ... She never looked for fame or recognition but rather a simple thank you from the heart meant everything to her. From her sons Eric (Renee and granddaughter Ashyln), Trevor, her sister Valerie and extended family in Manitoba and P.E.I. … Thank you!

Mel Robertson P.S. Special thanks to the West Carleton Review for the excellent coverage of the Diefenbooker and their tribute to Brenda

Cameron Harvey Drive unveiled to friends, family

BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

Around 35 friends and family took part in the official renaming ceremony where the newly minted Cameron Harvey Drive road signs were unveiled on Friday, May 12.

The former Riddell Drive shared a name with another City of Ottawa roadway and, therefore, was scheduled for renaming.

Coun. Eli El-Chantiry put forth the name of a young, community-minded young man who died at the young age of 18 in 2009. The proposal was accepted, and family and friends gathered to honour Cameron Harvey’s life and this dedication to his community leadership.

“It’s very bittersweet,” Cameron’s dad Rob Harvey told the West Carleton Review following the ceremony. “It’s always a tough day when you think back.”

Rob was very pleased with the turnout at the ceremony.

“Everyone knew him from reffing soccer and hockey,” Rob said. “He played soccer, hockey, volleyball. He played them all.

It’s a real nice turnout. It’s great that so many of his buddies were able to attend.”

Cameron also has two schol-

‘I guess this means we should pay more attention to cats’ Sump pump problems discovered thanks to Sheila, the house cat

O

ur house was not completely flooded. We really have nothing to complain about, in comparison to the hundreds of people in eastern Ontario and western Quebec who have lost everything in the rain and floods these past few weeks. But we did get some water in the basement. It wouldn’t have had the chance to cause any damage, if we had only listened to the cats.

Sheila the house cat doesn’t really like people. She pretends to be friendly if she hears cellophane or senses that you may be eating cheese, but she doesn’t really want to be petted. She barely tolerates me. If Sheila’s food bowl is empty and I am busy making something in the kitchen, she winds herself around my legs and gives me a quick bite on the calf. She doesn’t

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife have what you would call a nice disposition. Still, Sheila has her good qualities. She played surrogate mom to all those kittens I nabbed from the barn and brought into the house to wean and adopt out.

When their new families came to pick them up, she followed them to the door one by one and when they left she sat at my feet and complained.

Today, whenever we are sitting watching TV in the evenings she pulls one of her kitten-sized toys out of the basement and sings to it,

loudly. This is quite regular behaviour for her, and it goes on for about five minutes. Perhaps I should have paid closer attention when it went on for more than half an hour one night last week. But I was watching the season finale of Outlander and didn’t want to be interrupted.

When I finally got up to see what the heck Sheila was hollering about, I found her sitting at the top of the basement stairs with about six toys around her. They appeared to be wet. I flicked the

You would think we had learned our lesson, but, no.

A few days later, it happened again. Sheila tried to tell me. I was sitting on the couch reading a book and she attempted, unsuccessfully, to launch herself up into my lap. She hardly ever does this, and hasn’t tried in years. I laughed when she misjudged the distance to the couch and fell over. Sheila walked away, dejected. She was back a few minutes later with a wet cat toy. That got my attention.

The sump had failed again.

The Farmer is cutting the carpet up into manageable pieces that can be lifted up the basement stairs and out onto the back deck for disposal. It is a mess, and our basement smells a bit like a wet sock, but it’s nothing like what the owners of truly flooded homes are dealing with.

Last year the drought had us using up our hay months ahead of schedule, because nothing was growing in the pasture. This year we are starting the cattle on pasture early, because of the rain.

You never know what you are going to get, but from now on I’m paying attention to the animals. They seem to know what’s up.

A quick investigation by the Farmer confirmed that the hose used to drain condensation from our furnace was blocking the sensor ball on the sump pump, so it wasn’t able to switch on when the water level got too high.

Water had seeped out of the workshop area of the basement to soak the carpet in the next room. The parquet floor in the spare bedroom will likely have to be ripped out and replaced also.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, May 18, 2017 15

It’s all in the stone Natural stone integrates perfectly with every type of property, regardless of style. Whether you dream of a modern terrace design or something more rustic that will complement your garden and surrounding landscape, your dreams can become reality with a beautiful, natural stone floor! It all depends on your choice of stone and installation technique.

There are many reasons why natural stone terraces have remained a popular choice among homeowners for so long.

First and foremost, stone is a robust material that requires very little maintenance. Forget about repainting or re-staining each year!

Next, because every stone is unique, it’s very possible to create an original patio design that won’t go unnoticed.

In fact, landscaping experts, as well as companies specialized in the

manufacture of natural stone, can skilfully create real works of art.

For a sophisticated design, natural stone carved with a guillotine offers a clean-cut finish, while stone cut by hand is ideal for those more rustic projects. The installation of natural stone is in itself a creative process that requires exceptional attention to detail.

Limestone, silica, slate and granite are all natural materials that enhance the beauty of your yard and increase your home’s overall market value.

Available in a wide array of colours and textures, natural stone combines elegance and durability — two widely sought-after qualities for many homeowners.

PS: Whether you dream of a modern or rustic design, natural stone patios integrate beautifully with any type of property.

Madawaska focusing on community in 2017

BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

Last year was a celebration of 40 years of history for the Madawaska Golf Club. This year, the family-owned club is using that history lesson to set its priorities for 2017.

“We’re a family business,” owner Rick Munro said. “We have to figure out who we are and what we’re doing. And we have figured it out, we are a community.”

Munro says the lesson was hammered home during a recent memorial for a long-time golfer, employee and friend. Doug Carty passed away just this spring.

“He was with me for more than 23 years,” Munro said.

“There was a memorial at the Arnprior Legion. More than 40 members of the club came to the legion to help celebrate his life.

We truly are a community.”

So with that information, Munro says the club’s focus will be on its community. The club is going to expand its junior programs and is going to improve its communications. Club pro Daniel Guay is back for his third year. Last year, Guay got the junior program up and running and even organized Madawaska’s first Junior Club Championship.

“Last year was the first Junior Club Championship and it was very, very fun,” Guay told the West Carleton Review. “We have lots of junior programming on the schedule this summer. The first one is this Saturday.”

The club has Saturday morn-

Those enrolled in the junior member program will also receive an hour group lesson per month, a nine-hole game with Guay once per month and he hopes to organize a partnership with other area courses that will allow juniors to play a few different courses over the season.

“That will help prepare the kids for the intersectionals,” Guay said.

This year, Madawaska will host the junior intersectional tournament. Guay says there are 20 juniors signed up already and room for more.

But Guay isn’t only focused on the juniors. He is revamping women’s programming as well.

The Sumac Ladies League, played on the club’s popular Par 61 executive course, is being revamped.

“It will be very popular,” Guay said. “We actually have lots of programs for women.”

There will be a Lunch and Learn program this summer that will focus on a specific golf skill each month and combine practice, lessons and food over the course of the clinic. Guay will lead a Getting Started Program as well.

“That’s my goal, to bring some of the Sumac players over to Twisted Pine (Par 70),” Guay said. “But having Sumac is really great. A lot of clubs don’t have time for juniors. But we’re excited to have them and have the space for them to learn.”

As far as communications go, the Madawaska Golf Club has been working on reaching as much of their community as possible in as efficient a way as

possible. The club has a Twitter and Facebook page to support its website. General manager Victoria Munro posts there. Members can find hundreds of photos from past club competitions on the Facebook page as well. This year the club is introducing an app for your phone.

If you download the Madawaska Golf Club app you will have free access to an interactive scorecard, GPS which can track your shot distance, hole descriptions and playing tips, tracked scoring stats, Facebook sharing, club messaging and more.

“It does just about everything,” Munro said.

Unfortunately, the weather has not been co-operating with the club. Record rainfall in April and May have made for a very soggy course.

“It has been a tough spring,” Munro said. “The income hasn’t been coming in, we can’t cut the grass, can’t drive vehicles on the course – it’s just been a crazy, crazy season.. It is the worst I’ve seen it.

“The few nice days we’ve had, people are looking after their own property and that’s understandable. We need four or five days of plus 20 weather and a bit of a wind to dry things up.”

Course superintendent Martyn Munro has been able to continue trimming around the treelined holes of Twisted Pine. This work has not only enhanced the look of the course, but sped up play. Greens have been pressed and once the rain stops, the course will be in tip-top shape.

Several in attendance at an information session for flood relief spoke glowingly of Coun.

Eli El-Chantiry’s leadership during the historic flood, but had little positive to say about the city’s role in the natural disaster.

The City of Ottawa flood information session, held at the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre on Tuesday, May 9, was the third of the day for Ottawa residents and the first of two scheduled for West Carleton.

The second was held Wednesday, May 10 in Constance Bay. The format of the session was a few words from city politicians, a brief presentation on the flood disaster relief program, questions from the floor of nearly 100 attendees and then an open house-style format where attendees could speak one-on-one with the politicians, presenters and get flood-related information and available services from a few kiosks present.

West Carleton Coun. Eli ElChantiry kicked the session off asking for a round of applause for all the volunteers who gave their time to help with the flood.

He reported the river had receded a few inches since the weekend but advised residents to “be safe.

“We are going to help with the clean up. The first battle was with the river. The second battle starts now.”

El-Chantiry then read from a prepared statement.

“We recognize how difficult the situation is,” the councillor said. “We want you to know we are here to help. We are here for the long term.”

He reported the Royal Canadian Legion in Constance Bay would remain open and continue to serve anyone who needed food, shelter or both.

“The legion has been a tremendous help in the area,” ElChantiry said. “The next few weeks are going to be heartbreaking. Residents will be facing the devastation and the clean up after the volunteers have left.”

El-Chantiry recommended affected residents continue to drink bottled water and test their own water regularly.

Mayor Jim Watson also attended the meeting and spoke to those gathered in the hall.

“The city is trying to fast track disaster relief,” he said.

“As we all know, Eli wears his heart on his sleeve. He’s been here the whole time. I’m

so proud to have watched his leadership over the last several days.”

Mayor Watson said he was also inspired by the outpouring of support.

“It was neighbour helping neighbour, company helping community,” he said. “We recognize this is a personal and financial strain. We know many of you have lost a lot and I ap-

plaud you for your resiliency.”

But the goodwill wasn’t felt by all in attendance.

A number of residents felt the city was too slow to act.

West Armitage resident Ruth Charron wanted to know “what the city is going to do?

Not what the volunteers are going to do. My house was saved by the volunteers. We were forgotten.

“All the attention was on the city. Why am I calling for sand?

Why am I calling for bags?

Why am I calling to have roads closed from onlookers?”

Charron said she called every day from Thursday to Sunday (May 8).

“We appreciate if something wasn’t being done – you called,” Mayor Watson replied.

“Will we be perfect? No way.

That’s why we need your help.

Another angry resident wanted to know why the Ottawa River Regulation board was not here. Many were concerned about water being released from the damns up the Ottawa River further raising levels in West Carleton.

Charron spoke with the West

Carleton Review following the question and answer session.

“The city reacted two days too late,” Charron said.

“We knew Thursday morning we would be bagging Friday. Help came Saturday. A port-a-potty was dropped of today (Monday), we needed in Saturday when the volunteers were here. Road control signage came today.

“We needed it Saturday when onlookers’ cars were making waves and pushing water in to my house. I was so annoyed. When I called the city I felt like I had to coordinate services for them. Most of the people in our neighbourhood lost their house on Friday. Two days was all we needed to save a whole lot more homes.”

She said she called the city three times Friday morning before 10 a.m. for more sand.

Charron said her house was saved by volunteers and off duty firefighters.

“They were amazing,” she said. “They were organized, friendly and smiling.

Anger overflows at meeting From Page 20

“They did in 15 minutes what it took us two days to do.”

Now Charron has water that surrounds her house and covers her driveway.

“Most people on our street don’t have insurance,” she said.

While Charron was annoyed with city staff response to the natural disaster, she could not say enough about her dealings with Coun. El-Chantiry.

“Every time I called Eli I got a live person,” Charron said.

“They got back to me and I got everything I needed and more.

His staff was amazing.”

Other news to come out of the flood information meeting includes the Hydro One scheduled shut off for May 28 has been cancelled and will be rescheduled. Dumpsters will be delivered by city staff and picked up on a daily basis. The flood relief program should be activated within the week.

Affected home owners may

be eligible to up to $250,000.

Hydro One will be waiving the cut off fee for those who cut power due to flooding. Ottawa Council will resolve to move the June portion of taxes due to December.

“That’s five-and-a-half months that will help those facing financial strain be able to focus on recovery now,” Mayor Watson said.

Low income families only may be eligible for sewer back up damages. Rental property owners and tenants are also eligible for flood relief. There is a flood information and facilitation centre that will be open at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre and the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre. The Red Cross and Salvation Army will also have representation at the centres.

A few Constance Bay residents attended the first flood information session held at the Nepean Sportsplex May 9, at 1 p.m. Looking for instruc-

tions about what to do next was Joanne Kumpf, who lives in Constance Bay. The water in her home is so high she has to wear a life jacket and hip waders to access it.

Kumpf, while interested in the workings of the provincial program, was also interested in moving forward and finding out when to call building officials to look at the structural integrity of the home.

“I am severely affected,” Kumpf said of her property on Bayview Drive. “The structural integrity is gone and we know that because there’s a lantern swinging like a pendulum, and it’s creaking.”

Kumpf wasn’t home at the time the waters rose. She’s been staying with a friend ever since.

“I need an expert to say this first, because I can’t even get in there now and to preserve things further, I can’t even get in there to move. I’m looking for help and guidance,” she said.

Notice of Commencement Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor (Bayshore Station to Heron Station) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study The Project The City of Ottawa is proposing to construct a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility between Bayshore Station and Heron Station. The corridor follows an alignment which includes Holly Acres Road, Richmond Road, Baseline Road, and Heron Road (Figure 1). Near the Baseline Station area, it travels via Constellation Drive, Navaho Drive, College Avenue and Woodroffe Avenue to link the Centrepointe community and Algonquin College campus. The project proposes dedicated bus-only lanes (generally in the median), 25 new transit stations and new pedestrian and cycling facilities along the length of the 14-km corridor. The project will incorporate all elements of a complete street while also maintaining the function of the road as an Arterial Road.

This project is part of the Rapid Transit and Transit Priority Network identified in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) 2013 and connects to other existing and planned rapid transit corridors, including the West Transitway, the O-Train Confederation Line, the Southwest Transitway, the O-Train Trillium Line, and Southeast Transitway. The project will accommodate the anticipated growth in transit ridership as contemplated in the TMP and support the growth management policies identified in the City’s Official Plan (OP).

Figure 1: Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor The Process The City of Ottawa has completed a preliminary planning phase and is commencing the Environmental Assessment Phase in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08.

Residents affected by flooding have extra time to pay taxes

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

In addition to their on-the-ground response, the city of Ottawa will be giving residents affected by the flood extra time to pay their tax bills.

The motion to defer property tax payments to December was presented by Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais and Bay Coun. Mark Taylor - both of whom had residents in their wards affected by the flood.

With rains reaching historical levels for April and May, the banks of the Ottawa River became swollen – affecting 346 properties and causing 155 families to be evacuated from their homes.

Mayor Jim Watson – who backed the property tax deferral motion – said the extra time will provide much-needed relief to those dealing with the outcome of the flood.

He called on the response from the city to be

thoughtful, not bureaucratic.

City manager Steve Kanellakos said the clean up would take at least four weeks.

The on-the-ground effort will include different groups, such as: human services, debris and waste management and communications.

Public health nurses have also been deployed to affected areas, because water safety – because of people dumping septic systems is a big concern. Even in a month as people return to their homes, Kanellakos said things, “won’t be normal.”

The city has set up four emergency community support centres in the affected areas: * Cumberland: Community Hall at the R.J. Kennedy Arena, 1115 Dunning Rd. * Britannia: Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre East Parking Lot, 102 Greenview Ave. * Woodlawn: Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre, 262 Len Purcell Dr.

Registration, well water testing SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

At the request of the City of Ottawa, the Red Cross is now registering individuals and families who were impacted by the flood including in Constance Bay, Fitzroy Harbour, Dunrobin and MacLaren’s Landing in West Carleton.

This registration will be helpful in identifying the needs of impacted residents.

Registration can be done by phone at 1-800-863-6582 from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. and on Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Registration can also be done in person at any of the four emergency community support centres between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Two of these emergency community support centres are the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre and the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre.

Ottawa Public Health recommends that if your well was affected by flood water, do not drink or use the water until it has been tested and found to

be safe.

Wells may be impacted if the well head is below water level, if flood water is surrounding the well or if the basement is flooded.

If you think that flood water has infiltrated your well or septic tiles, do not use the tap water or flush the toilet.

Water sample bottles can be picked up at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre or at the West Carleton Branch 616 of the Royal Canadian Legion on Allbirch Road in Constance Bay. Water samples can be dropped off at an emergency community support centre between noon and 8 p.m. Ottawa Public Health has arranged a courier service to pick up the samples and take them to the Ontario Public Health Laboratory every day.

The test results are usually available in from two to four business days after the water sample has been dropped off.

* Fitzroy Harbour: Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre, 100 Clifford Campbell St. In the provincial legislature on May 10, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod demanded answers on the province’s response to Ottawa flooding.

MacLeod said she didn’t think Ontario was as “visible” as Quebec and wanted to know when the Ontario Assistance Relief Program would kick in.

“Even if I called the relief program into effect five minutes ago, residents won’t see cheques in their mailboxes next week,” said provincial min-

ister of housing and municipal affairs Bill Mauro. He said the program isn’t meant to replace personal insurance.

MacLeod said despite the time needed to get going on the response, residents need answers to questions like what Hydro One will do for residents whose power had to be cut off.

Marie-France Lalonde, minister of community safety and correctional services, said the province is doing everything it can to help those affected.

“We receive calls every hour on the hour,” she said.

Brittany Drive Pumping Station Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA)

Revised Notice of Completion The City of Ottawa is planning a replacement of the existing Brittany Drive water pumping station located at 565 Brittany Drive with a new facility to serve the Montreal Road Pressure Zone.

The proposed new pumping station is required to provide water system capacity and reliability to the existing users and new development in the zone. The planning process for this project followed the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and was completed in November 2005 as a Schedule B undertaking. The timing of the station replacement was connected to the former Rockcliffe CFB Redevelopment project which was delayed for several years. The City consequently also delayed the detailed design and construction of the new Brittany Drive Pumping Station.

Since the period of time from filing the first Brittany Drive Pumping Station Class EA Notice of Completion to the proposed commencement of construction for the project exceeds 10 years, the City reviewed the project planning to ensure that the project preferred solution and associated mitigation measures are still valid. The review concluded that no changes to these recommendations are required.

If you would like to review the updated Project File or to provide written comment, please contact the City project manager at the address below within 30 calendar days from the date of this Notice.

United Churches helping hospice SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The United churches in the area, including St. Paul's United Church in Carp, are joining together to raise funds for the new Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata.

The United churches in Stittsville, Richmond, Carp, Kanata, Glen Cairn, Bells Corners and perhaps Fallowfield have set a fundraising goal of $50,000 to raise for the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice over the next year. A number of activities will be held throughout the year, providing an opportunity for the members of these churches and others in the community to take part in this fundraising initiative. The $50,000 goal is not a limit, with the hope being that it will be exceeded in this fundraising project.

The funds will go to help with construction costs for the new nine-bed residential hospice now under construction at the former Trinity Presbyterian Church site on McCurdy Drive in Kanata. In addition, the

funds will go to help with ongoing costs for the hospice.

This initiative by the United churches in the area follows a similar joint fundraising campaign by the Anglican churches in the area to raise $100,000 for inclusion of a “quiet room” in the new residential hospice complex.

Hospice Care Ottawa provides a number of programs and services including day programs, caregiver support, bereavement support, transportation services and at-home care.

It also provides end-of-life residential care. Currently, Hospice Care Ottawa operates a number of end-of-life beds at a temporary location at the Embassy West Hotel site on Carling Avenue near Kirkwood Avenue. The new nine-bed residential unit at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata will replace these temporary beds.

All programs and services offered

by Hospice Care Ottawa are provided free of charge as per the hospice tradition.

Volunteers prepare beds at community garden SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

Carp’s Neighbourhood Tomato Community Garden is ready to start its third season of growing together thanks to the efforts of local businesses and community volunteers.

Located behind St. James Anglican Church next to Carp’s fairgrounds, the community garden is home to 20 gardens that are a combination of reserved plots for private gardening by garden members and collaborative gardens. These collaborative gardens are tended to by garden members and community volunteers and provide fresh vegetables to the West Carleton Food Access Centre throughout the growing season.

Not letting the rainy weather stand in their way, over two dozen volunteers gathered at the community garden on May 13 to prepare the garden beds and ready them for planting in two weeks time. Helping the community garden members and local volunteers was Faye Potter and her team from the Royal Bank of Canada’s Campeau Branch.

As part of the Royal Bank’s community outreach program, Faye and her team were instrumental in the clean up day and are also eager to volunteer with the Neighbourhood Tomato’s collaborative gardens later in the season.

Also key to the day’s success was Tim Dyer from the

Many thanks also go to Jay Veninga from Pipes Plumbing for coming out and doing the necessary repairs to get our watering system up and running for the season.

And the community garden would not exist without the generosity of St. James Anglican Church and Rev. Monique Stone’s vision to have a thriving community garden

bringing people together and providing food to those in need.

“The enthusiasm and support of businesses, organizations and residents has been overwhelming and so appreciated,” Community Garden co-ordinator Michelle Rehkopf said. “It is wonderful to be part of this project that provides people with the opportunity to learn how to grow fresh food in such a fun and supportive environment.”

The Neighbourhood Tomato Community Garden in Carp is one of a growing network of area community gardens. It provides

hands-on gardens, seminars and other learning opportunities on growing healthy food as well as harvesting, storage, preservation and sharing of the garden’s bounty. While all gardens have been reserved for this season there are still volunteer opportunities available for helping in the collaborative gardens and the harvesting and delivery of produce to the West Carleton Food Access Centre.

A weekly guide in legal matters

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

My husband and I are separating and we are planning to sit down and discuss how we will handle everything moving forward. Is there any problem with negotiating matters by ourselves? one person is now changing their mind about decisions previously made in good faith.

When two people decide to separate, there is often the temptation to sit down together around the kitchen table and make agreements and decisions around very important matters, like child custody, spousal and child support, and division of family assets. Many separating couples engage in these discussions in the spirit of cooperation and because they want to minimize the cost associated with lawyers negotiating and drafting what seems to be a simple and straightforward separation agreement.

There are many factors to consider when it comes to deciding whether, and how much, spousal support might be owed, how the family’s property will be divided, how the children will be cared for by each parent, and how the children’s expenses will be covered. Even with the best of intentions, most couples simply don’t know enough about the legal factors that must be taken into account when making decisions on separation.

These discussions can be a very helpful starting point for separating spouses but, unfortunately, most often the agreements reached do not take into account the legal framework around separation and the rights and obligations of the separating spouses. When they take their kitchen table agreement to a family law lawyer for review or years later are trying to enforce a clause in the agreement, they are usually told the agreement is not enforceable. This can often lead to frustration and anger when, upon obtaining some legal advice, it seems that

The best decision a separating couple can make around the kitchen table is to each seek the advice of an experienced family lawyer in order to understand the options available to them for resolving family and financial matters arising in separation and divorce. Seeking the advice of a family law lawyer isn’t a sign things will get ugly or complicated. It is the recognition that you each want to have all of the necessary information to make sound decisions for your family and your future during what can be a very difficult ficult and overwhelming time.

Nepean business donates to WC flood victims

When systems engineer Tammi Smith watched the news and saw the victims and volunteers of last week’s historic flood of the Ottawa River, she knew she wanted to help.

Smith and her co-workers at General Dynamics Mission Systems Canada got together, and in just five days, they collected $2,203, 71 boxes of food and six shop vacuums to donate to the West Carleton Food Access Centre.

The weapons and communications company located in Nepean promoted the fundraising event as Fill the LAV (Light Armored Vehicle).

“We probably could have filled two LAVs,” Smith said.

The event was promoted during the days leading up to it, and from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 11, volunteers collected.

“It was non-stop,” Smith said. “I was in tears when I counted the money.”

Smith says there are a number of employees that live in West Carleton.

“There was tons of motivaJake Davies/Metroland tion to help out,” she said.

There were 24 teams in the 45 plus age group for ladies recreational softball at the World Masters Games. Not only did the Ottawa Valley Strong team finish third and win the bronze medals, but two other Canadians teams won the gold and silver medals, making for a Canadian sweep of the medals.

In the World Masters Games, the Ottawa Valley Strong played eight games, winning seven of them. This allowed the team to advance to the medals play.

The Ottawa Valley Strong beat the Breakaway Red 45’s of Australia 8-7 in double overtime innings to win the bronze medals.

The Vancouver Island, BC team Loss of Gravity won the gold medals while the Subway Sluggers team from Prince Edward Island won the silver medals.

At the conclusion of the medal presentation ceremony, all three of these Canadian medal winning teams gathered together to sing O Canada.

The 2017 World Masters Games were held in Auckland, New Zealand from April 21 to April 30.

The 16-member Ottawa Valley Strong team which included players from West Carleton, Almonte, Kanata and surrounding areas as well as one player from Saskatchewan and four from southern Ontario left on April 15 for these 2017 World Masters Games, complete with new uniforms.

For 56 year old Jayne Coady of Kinburn, the trip to the World Masters Games not only marked a culmination of her lifelong passion for the sport but also marked a personal triumph as she has worked her way back from a heart attack which she had suffered in March 2014.

The team was comprised of players aged 45 to 58 years old who have raised their kids and put them through sports and now are doing something for themselves.

“It’s our time now” was the tag line for the group.

The team hosted a GoFundMe account and held raffles and a ‘women in sport’ dinner with music and silent and live auctions to raise the $80,000 needed for the team to travel to these World Masters Games in New Zealand.

For two years, the team has practised indoors during the off season, using gyms at South Carleton High School in Richmond and at West Carleton High School at Dunrobin.

In addition, the team played during the season in the Canada’s Capital Fastball League which included teams from Quyon, Nepean, Ottawa, Kars and other areas, as well as the Ottawa Valley Strong playing out of Carp.

The World Masters Games included over 20,000 athletes competing in over 25 different sports. The Ottawa Valley Strong team played in the recreational ball category since the team has never competed in these World Masters Games before.

The World Masters Games involves athletes from countries around the world, ranging in age from 25 to 101 years old.

Athletes attend the World Masters Games not only to compete on a world stage against their peers but also to meet fellow athletes from around the world and to enjoy the atmosphere of the host city which in this case is Auckland in New Zealand.

The World Masters Games are held every four years. In 2013, they were held in Torino in Italy.

Community Spirit Floods have devastated our community.

But despite this, spirits is high.

Volunteer support has been amazing.

Hundreds of people have volunteered to fill, deliver, and place sand bags around homes.

Many have volunteered trucks and trailers.

Hot meals have been prepared and delivered to homes by volunteers also.

EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING AMBERWOOD VILLAGE GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB HAS TO OFFER AT ITS OPEN HOUSE!

IN THE HEART OF STITTSVILLE IS A GORGEOUS FACILITY THAT FEATURES A WELL-MANICURED GOLF COURSE,THREE BEAUTIFUL TENNIS COURTS, PICKLE BALL, A FULL-SIZED SWIMMING POOL, AND A FULL-SERVICE RESTAURANT FEATURING A FABULOUS MENU.

HARD TO BELIEVE? BELIEVE IT. On Sunday, May 28th you can experience all Amberwood has to offer.The club will be hosting an open house to demonstrate why the club is the place in West Ottawa for you and your family to join in 2017.

The day will include a bouncy castle for kids, short-game clinics by staff from the Kevin Haime Golf School, discounted access to the golf course – which you don’t have to book, you can just show up – and there will be free access to the pool and tennis courts.

Managed by TMSI Sports Management, Amberwood Village features a spectacular collection of recreational options for individuals and families, and best of all you don’t have to live in the Amberwood community to take advantage of this incredible facility.

The club is open to anyone in the National Capital region and the golf course is open to the public seven days per week.

“We couldn’t be a more ideal spot for families in this part of the city. We’ve got members from Stittsville, Kanata, and Carp, and the experience at Amberwood is just getting better and better,” said Pierre Mondor, the club’s general manager.

“Between golf, tennis, the pool, dining, and more, this is the place for the best recreational experience in the area.”

The golf course features a nine-hole, executive layout with immaculate greens, and is the perfect combination of fun and challenge for golfers of all levels.

It has multiple sets of tees, which make it a wonderful place for parents and

36 West Carleton Review - Thursday, May 18, 2017

grandparents alike to bring their young golfers out to learn a game they can play their entire lives and golfers can get around the course in two hours or less.

The full-sized recreational pool is the best place in Stittsville to cool down on those hot summer days. Amberwood hosts swimming fitness classes for seniors, provides swimming lessons for children and has plenty of open pool time for families.

Not only can families enjoy spectacular relaxation poolside, but Amberwood’s hard-tru tennis courts are another excellent place for fitness and fun. With three regulation courts and pickle ball also available, lining up a match has never been easier.

In addition, the club offers a multi-sport camp during July and August for children aged five to 12 years old, with activities such as archery, soccer, tennis, basketball, volleyball and of course, swimming. Camps include pre and post-camp care for children, and lunch daily.

Finally, ALE, Amberwood’s delicious eatery, hosts a plethora of events every week and provides a banquet facility that is appropriate for weddings, meetings, and events up to 160 people.

“It’s truly amazing how much we can at Amberwood and a very budget-friendly price,” said Mondor.“Between golf, access to tennis, the fabulous pool, and of course, dining at ALE, a membership or just coming out to golf or eat at Amberwood is a great idea.”

There are a variety of different memberships available to those interested in joining Amberwood, including seasonal ones for the pool, tennis, or just a social experience. And, Mondor and his staff will be available on at the open house to work with you to develop an option that suits your budget and schedule.

Golf members also gain access to other TMSI Sports Management properties, such as the award-winning eQuinelle Golf Club in Kemptville, the beautiful par-3 course at Thunderbird Sports Centre in Kanata, the historic Perth Golf Course in cottage country, and the fun Les Vieux Moulins Golf Club in Aylmer, Quebec.

There are so many great reasons to join Amberwood Village Golf and Country Club today and make the summer of 2017 the best ever for you and your family.

Dowdall, Lois Frances (nee Roe) February 11, 1924 – May 13, 2017

Surrounded by the loving presence of her family, as the result of a series of falls and most recently a fractured hip, Lois Frances Booth Roe passed away in the Queensway Carleton Hospital on May 13th, in her 94th year. Adored wife for 67 years of the late Russell (2011), the love of her life, whom she has missed each and every day. Caring daughter of the late Ernest Roe and Ruby Mulligan – the third of their ten children. Forever loved, appreciated and now deeply missed Mother of Elvyn (late Arlene), Linda (Lothar Klimpel), Joan (Jim Bradley), Laurie (Rick Beerens) and Joyce (Brian Vent). Cherished Granny to six grandchildren who gave her much joy and laughter - Mark (Casey) and Cory (Lindsay) Bradley; Tania (Ryan) and Caitlin Ardley; Caleigh and Tahra Flegg. Very special and fun-loving “GG” of Jack and Kendall Bradley and Olivia and Cohen Larocque, who brought her pure pleasure.

Dearly loved by Reg and Lesley Roe, Lorraine and Mel Hanna, sisterin-law Mary Roe and brother-in-law Garth Garland. Affectionately remembered by her nieces, nephews and very special friends, including many at Stillwater Creek Retirement Community.

Lois’s credo was simply “The Golden Rule” – seldom spoken, routinely practiced, with a characteristic quiet smile, subtle wit, compassionate ear and helpful heart. Resourceful, industrious, determined, accomplished, unassuming and engaged throughout her life in so many varied pursuits, her primary focus never wavered from ensuring her family felt secure in their roots and encouraged to find their wings.

We are so grateful for her life and her legacy.

Our family extends heartfelt thanks to all of the staff at Stillwater Creek Retirement Community for their love, support, encouragement and kindness over the years – particularly during the past few months. We are very grateful to Dr. Roger Drake for his continued kind and attentive care and to Dr. Christopher Brown and the nursing staff of the Queensway Carleton Surgical Floor for their compassionate support.

Lois was an active life-long member of her community with a deep devotion to her church.

If you wish, memorial donations in her honour to Christ Church Ashton or Munster Union Cemetery would be appreciated. Or, as Lois would suggest, “Just do a good turn for somebody.”

West Carleton Review - Thursday, May 18, 2017 41

Mother’s Day Market/Luncheon at Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre held on Sunday, May 14, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Flooding in West Carleton On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to stand in the House of Commons and tell Canadians just how proud I am of our community. I want to share the text of my statement: Mr. Speaker, Like so many Canadians especially in Ontario and Quebec, I spent this past weekend in Constance Bay, in my riding of Kanata-Carleton, helping with flood efforts.

While it is heartbreaking to see the loss of homes and property, it was so inspiring to see the enormous outpouring of compassion and generosity.

At one point on Sunday we had over 600 volunteers from right across the region, eager to load some of the 128,000 sandbags deployed, prepare and deliver food and supplies, or donate the use of their vehicles. Liberals, New Democrats, Greens, Conservatives; all leaving politics behind with a single goal in mind: to help their neighbours…We could all learn a lot from them!

To the people affected, I want to say that we all stand with you, and we will offer all the support we can.

To the volunteers who once again demonstrated the very best of human kindness…I simply say…

Thank you so very much! Merci beaucoup!

I understand there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. Evaluations are currently underway to assess the scope and severity of damage and to collect data. The Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians Program has been activated in our region. Please visit http://www.mah.gov.on.ca/Page13760.aspx if you need help.

Canada Summer Jobs

2017 Canada Summer Jobs hiring season is now in full swing! 98 companies in our riding of Kanata-Carleton are receiving $689,000 to fund 398 jobs. Students can now go to the Employment and Social Development Canada website to see who’s hiring in our community.

Canada Summer Jobs gives young Canadians access to paid work experience, helping them develop the skills they’ll need to find good, well-paying jobs.

Now that winter’s freeze has loosened its grip on us, it’s time to turn our thoughts to more springlike endeavours. While the last of the snow still hangs on in spots, the signs of rebirth are all around: the birds are chirping loudly, the first daffodils are peeking from the ground and backyard barbecues have emerged from hibernation.

So what better time than now to start looking for that new home?

Maybe you’re the head of a young family looking for that new residence near schools and other amenities. Or you’re simply looking to expand your living space, growing out of a tight townhouse to a singledetached home with more property to call your own?

As we’ve mentioned before in this space, Ottawans are fortunate to live in a community many of Canada’s best builders call home. With that in mind, there is no shortage of newhome options available across the city. But where do you turn to get your search started? That’s where we come in. Welcome again to Floor Plan, a monthly supplement found in your Metroland community newspaper. Throughout these pages, you’ll find information on some of the latest designs brought forward by the most innovative builders in Canada. Whether it’s the hottest trends you’re after or a touch of tradition, Floor Plan gives you the information you need to make an informed decision.

And be sure to check out our next edition of Floor Plan in our May 18, 2017 Metroland newspapers.

2 Floor Plan - Thursday, May 18, 2017

Treating lawns during DROUGHT It may be wet during the spring, but the summer heat can bring long periods of hot temperatures and no rain.

“Drought” can be a four-letter word to many lawn care enthusiasts. Homeowners who put in the hours and hard work to create beautiful, lush lawns can see the fruits of all their labour gradually disappear when drought sets in. That can be both frustrating to homeowners and detrimental to long-term lawn health.

Treating lawns during drought or dry periods can be tricky, as some homeowners may be forced to adhere to water restrictions established by their local governments. Still, there are some ways to obey the law and still help lawns withstand drought and dry periods.

• Postpone fertilizer applications. Fertilizers are designed to help grass grow, but growing grass needs water it won’t have access to when water restrictions have been put in place. If a lawn needs to be fertilized during drought or dry periods, homeowners should consult with lawn care professionals, who may have

experience applying fertilizer during drought.

Professionals also may have access to more fertilizing products than homeowners will find at nearby lawn and garden centers.

• Pull weeds by hand instead of applying herbicides. Herbicides are substances used to destroy unwanted vegetation, such as weeds. When applied during droughts or dry periods, such products can make it harder for grass to overcome weeds. Instead of applying herbicides during drought or dry periods, pull weeds by hand. Doing so can address a weed problem without harming the grass.

• Water early. Water restrictions might not completely deny homeowners the right to water their lawns. Rather, such regulations restrict how much water homeowners can use to treat their lawns during drought or dry periods. Watering early, ideally between the hours of 4 a.m. and 8 a.m., ensures as little water as possible will be lost to evaporation and as much as possible will find its way onto the grass and into the soil. During periods of drought, temperatures tend to be at their highest in mid- to late-afternoon, so change automatic sprinkler timers if they are set to

water during these hours.

• Adjust lawnmower blade height. Grass grows more slowly during drought or dry periods. As a result, homeowners won’t need to mow as often during such times as they would when conditions are more favourable.

But lawns may still need to be mowed during drought. When mowing, leave grass on the longer side. Mowing stresses grass, which is already under considerable stress during drought. By setting mower blades to cut no more than one-third of the leaf blade at a time, homeowners can encourage roots to grow deeper. Deep roots help the grass combat the effects of drought.

Drought and dry periods need not ruin homeowners’ lush lawns. But lawn care enthusiasts will have to alter their lawn care routines when conditions are dry.

Four walls make a house but WHAT MAKES A HOME? Home stagers help sellers to create a buyer’s home.

RENNIE STEGEMAN - HOME STAGER Four walls make a house, but what makes a home? What do we do to our house to create that homey feeling we all crave?

We buy things. Things that we like: furniture, pillows, artwork, lamps, unique accessories.

We hang up wedding pictures, pictures of our children and even of ourselves going on vacation. We spend time creating furniture layouts and painting walls in ways that appeal to us.

But when the decision is made to move to a new location and your home needs to be sold, what will make someone want to buy your home? The home buyer will ask, “What’s in it for me?”

What makes a home that other people will want to buy?

We surround ourselves with our treasures.

But when it comes time to put our house on the market, we need to consider that your treasures may not be as valuable to someone else. The room you have painted a vibrant orange makes you feel truly alive in the space.

But will others feel the same about your orange room?

Take the living room, with the chair that is perfect for chillin’, and the special piece of artwork you picked up while on vacation in Mexico. Or the fireplace, oh, how hard you worked to design this fireplace! It is truly a design masterpiece. Or is it? Will everyone appreciate the sense of style you have created in your home?

The urn on the mantel: memorable, comforting, or creepy? Obviously, we all have

different interests and treasure different things. How boring the world would be if this were not the case!

A home that’s being sold needs to be set up so that others can dream about living in the four walls; seeing someone else in those four walls may prevent them from doing so. A home stager will visit your home and go through one room at a time and give you advice and support.

A home staging consultation will help you to create a “staged to sell” home environment.

You want people to enjoy what they see so much that they cannot wait to be in the space.

You want them to get a smile on their face and sigh with relief because they know that this is where they belong.

The latest trends

Updated but simple paint colours. Wellbalanced and harmonized spaces where everyone can feel at peace. Clean shiny bathrooms. Beds so clean, fresh and welcoming that they want to crawl right in. Space, not crowded and cluttered, but open and clear for movement to happen naturally. These are the types of sights and experiences home buyers should encounter.

The problem is, this is your space, this is your home. And separating yourself from the space is a difficult but necessary step in selling your home. It is hard to start moving yourself out of the four walls before you are actually ready.

You know this is still your home. You have to live in this space for several months yet, and you are being told to take the heart of you out of your home. This is a process that can hurt and you could get angry at the person suggesting that things have to change. Why can they not see how special your belongings are?

Why do you have to put away your precious

belongings? Are they really making the space feel cluttered?

After several days of hard work you have followed the instructions of the home stager.

Surprisingly, it feels a lot better than you may have expected. You walk around your house with ease. There is space to move around easily.

Things no longer feel cluttered or overwhelming and you smile as you see the organized book shelf. You may even think to yourself, “Maybe I didn’t need all the things on it after all.”

The new picture on the wall finishes the look of the kitchen; you always knew you should hang a picture there but never did before. The bathroom is very pleasing to walk into without all the clutter around the sink and the freshly painted walls. I wish I always had fresh flowers on the dining room table and a glamorous orchid in the bathroom.

Walking through your newly staged home feels good. You can picture yourself living in this fresh new space. But wait: you are selling this house that now also looks like home to many other people who are coming to see it.

They loved the professional looking pictures of your home they saw online and are ready for a closer look.

The time, pain and reflection you went through to stage your home to sell have paid off. You now have the buyer’s attention. They like what they see in your house/home and are ready to make an offer. Someone else has seen the beauty of your home and wants it to be their home. The question, “What’s in it for me?” has been answered. rennie@feelslikehome-homestaging.ca feelslikehome-homestaging.ca

Create KID-FRIENDLY spaces at home Maintaining a home that is welcoming and kid-friendly can be challenging Kids are full of energy and oftentimes put fun ahead of tidiness. But no matter how energetic their youngsters are, parents can still employ several strategies to ensure their homes are both sophisticated and childfriendly.

• Consider an open floor plan. Rooms that flow into one another make it easier to keep tabs on children. Such rooms also allow residents and guests to mingle in separate rooms but not be too far away from one another.

• Choose washable fabrics. Upholstery will need to stand up to the abuse kids can dish out. Sofas and chairs with slipcovers can be advantageous because many slipcovers can be easily removed and laundered. Patterned fabrics will hide some stains, while treated fabrics may resist liquid spills for easier cleanup.

• Create a catch-all spot. Special bins or other organizational tools in the entryway can help to cull clutter when children come in the house from school or play. Be sure the keep

cubbies, containers and coat hooks at a childfriendly height.

• Look for high-traffic rugs. Rugs designed for high-traffic areas will be more forgiving when children march across them several times per day. There are no rules that say you can’t bring an outdoor rug inside, and these rugs tend to be easier to clean.

• Ensure there is plenty of seating.

Sectionals give children ample room to spread out. And ample seating ensures there is enough room for kids to invite their friends over to hang out.

• Think outside pink and blue. For children’s rooms, make sure they’re colorful, but consider other hues to give the rooms some personality. Focus on a hobby or activity and borrow the color scheme from the accessories used for decorating.

• Hang whimsical artwork. Employ framing and lighting to make kids’ artwork look like professional pieces. Routinely change the pictures when a new look is desired.

• Designate a place for play. Devote an entire room or a nook in a house for imaginative play. Store toys here so these items will not create clutter in individual bedrooms.

Creating child-friendly spaces while ensuring a home maintains a sophisticated feel is easier than parents might think.

How to PLANT A TREE for successful growth More sunlight and warm temperatures frequently inspire homeowners to spend more time in the great outdoors during spring and summer.

Outdoor projects often top homeowners’ to-do lists in spring and summer, with gardens and landscapes taking center stage.

Planting more trees around the yard is one popular project that can improve property value and benefit the environment.

Why plant trees?

There are plenty of reasons to plant trees. Trees provide a natural form of shade, reducing air temperature by blocking the sun’s rays. This can reduce reliance on air conditioning systems and make it more comfortable to spend time outdoors during the summer.

North Carolina State University College of Agriculture & Life Sciences says trees absorb and block noise and reduce glare.

They also can trap dust, pollen and smoke. Trees also absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses from the air. One large tree can supply a day’s worth of oxygen for as many as four people, while also storing 13 pounds of carbon per year.

Getting started

Visit a garden center or nursery and select a tree that will be hardy in your planting zone. Choosing native trees can increases the likelihood that the new tree will adapt to its surroundings.

Also, inspect trees to determine if they’re healthy before taking 4 Floor Plan - Thursday, May 18, 2017

them home. Look for evidence of root girdling, which occurs when the roots circle around the perimeter of the container and surround the trunk. Trees should not have any dead or dormant branches.

The DIY Network suggests locating the tree where it can thrive. This means selecting a spot that can make it easier for the tree to grow tall and wide. Avoid planting near the house, where roots can crack concrete or asphalt, and always plant away from underground pipes.

Planting the tree

Now it is time to amend the soil. It’s not enough to enrich only the soil in the hole where the tree will be placed. Move out into a circular area beyond where the roots will start so that roots can expand and properly anchor the tree. The next method of success is to ensure that the tree has a large enough hole to contain the existing root ball and allow for roots to grow and expand.

Better Homes and Gardens experts say to prepare a hole that is two to three times as wide as the root ball of the tree. Treat the root ball gently. If the roots are wrapped in burlap, remove the burlap or push it to the bottom of the hole.

Backfill the hole with soil and check that the tree is straight.

Stake the tree to help it stay upright and straight until the roots anchor it more effectively. A layer of mulch around the base of the tree can prevent weeds and reduce water loss. Water daily for several weeks until the roots have fanned out.

It’s best to leave trees be for the first growing season, only removing broken or diseased limbs. Resist pruning and shaping until the tree has survived its first growing season.

Live your lifestyle in Tartan Homes’ new Kawartha multi-cultural home at Findlay Creek Ottawa’s most progressive new community, Findlay Creek is a short five-minute drive south of Hunt Club on Bank Street. Growing and taking shape, Tartan Homes has already constructed more than 1,500 homes in Findlay Creek, and is now offering the most innovative new design in a single family residence.

Tartan’s newest model home, the Kawartha, is a 2892 sq. ft., four-bedroom home on a wide 45’ lot that stands out with unique character.

Designed with features for multi-cultural buyers, the all-new Kawartha can be built with an enlarged living room on the main floor, accented with French doors.

“This living room design is an option to the standard floor plan, available to view on our web site at www. tartanhomes.com,” says Heidi Hayley, Marketing Manager at Tartan Homes Corporation.

“We repeatedly received requests for this over the past 3-4 years. The idea behind it, I believe, is to have a separate space for women and men when entertaining family or friends—a private space for each but on the same level.”

In contrast to the popular “open concept” design trend, the optional floorplan for the Kawartha was achieved by relocating the powder room and adjusting the size of the kitchen and dining room to allow the study to become another living room.

“We could not ignore the significant demand for this feature. It is truly unique and offers home buyers more options to live their lifestyle.”

The Kawartha is a spacious, modern home with three full bathrooms and convenient laundry all on the second floor. The master bedroom features a large walkin closet and ensuite bath with separate tub and shower.

Tartan Homes offers a wide range of two-storey single homes, bungalows and townhomes, featuring the latest in design innovation, quality materials and construction. With a vast demographic mix, there is something for everyone in Findlay Creek.

Already home for hundreds of families, with plenty of room for hundreds more, Findlay Creek Village features 14 distinctive two-storey singles from $506,900 and four convenient bungalow designs from $477,900 as well as seven townhome styles starting at $348,900.

Findlay Creek is also home to Tartan Homes’ design centre, where buyers can select from a wide range of accessories and finishes to add personality and character to their home.

Findlay Creek is one of the most unique and naturally gifted communities in the Ottawa area. Homeowners and visitors alike love the extra wide streetscapes, inviting big backyards and picturesque natural setting – all signatures of this family-friendly community.

Commuting to Findlay Creek is a breeze with easily accessible transit while a well-equipped central retail area offers all the amenities any homeowner could need or want with an abundance of shops for all necessities. Grab a quick coffee, pick up a bottle of wine, purchase your groceries, or enjoy dinner out – it’s all available at Findlay Creek.

Neighbourhoods have taken shape as there is a strong sense of community. The long awaited Findlay Creek Elementary School is opening in September making this fantastic family-friendly community even better. Findlay Creek E.S. will be a Junior Kindergarten (JK) to Grade 8 English and Early French Immersion school.

The quintessential place for growing, active families, the Findlay Creek Village community offers an eclectic mix of a skate park, waterpark / splash pad and more traditional play parks complete with swings, slides and learning structures.

But what makes Findlay Creek most unique is the fact that all of these great features are situated within such a natural and charmingly quaint setting. Nature lovers can enjoy the 1000-foot boardwalk that winds through the Leitrim Wetlands – home to 90 bird species throughout the year and 40 migratory species during migration. A viewing platform at the end of

the boardwalk provides a spectacular view over this 800-acre complex wetland and its 500 plant species. Protected under the South Nation Conservation Authority, it has been designated as a scientific area of interest, promoting the preservation of nature and the wildlife that calls it home.

Findlay Creek – a superior community in a superior setting – enabling you to experience it all while allowing you to get away from it all.

Find and maintain the RIGHT CARPET for you Carpets provide both practical and aesthetic appeal inside a home. In winter, carpets help keep homes warm, and the right color carpet can add to design schemes While rugs may have originated in the Far East, North America also has some rich carpet history.

According to The Carpet and Rug Institute, the United States carpet industry began in 1791 when the first woven carpet mill opened in Philadelphia. Others soon followed suit. Tufted carpets and machine-powered manufacturing helped churn out yards upon yards of carpeting, making it a popular, affordable and common addition to homes, especially after the post-World War II housing boom.

Carpeting remains a go-to flooring material in modern homes. In fact, many homes offer a blend of both carpeting in some rooms and different flooring choices in others.

Upon choosing carpet, it is important that homeowners follow some guidelines to prolong a carpet’s longevity and maintain its style.

The following are some common carpeting dos and don’ts.

DO consider the room’s purpose and foot traffic before shopping for carpeting.

Make a list of the attributes desired (e.g., soundproofing, easy care, high pile) and present these to the salesperson so he or she can help you make the best choice.

DON’T rush into flooring choices. Unlike paint colors, flooring materials are more permanent choices that are only updated every several years or more. Weigh all of your

options before diving in.

DO consider conservative colors and styles.

Neutral hues and patterns will blend better with furniture options. This means you can change furniture out and still keep the existing carpeting, which complements any new pieces. Also, if there’s a chance you might sell your home in the near future, buyers tend to look for a neutral color scheme they can make their own.

DON’T skimp on padding to save a few dollars on the carpet installation. The

carpeting needs a solid foundation to last and look its best. Inadequate padding can lead to extra and noticeable wear and tear. Invest in a good foundation for the carpeting, like firm, dense padding in high-traffic areas.

DO become knowledgeable about different carpet styles, such as frieze, Berber, Saxony, textured, and more. This will help ensure you make the most educated decision.

DON’T purchase at the first store you visit. Shop around to investigate different pricing and specials. Also, consider the

professionalism and expertise of the staff responsible for carpet installation. Highcost carpet may not look very good if it isn’t installed correctly.

DO stain-protect rugs and carpeting, which can help repel stains that would otherwise become permanent and can prolong the longevity of the flooring.

DON’T forget to vacuum carpets frequently to prevent ground-in dirt and debris.

DO pick textured carpets to conceal footprints and vacuum track marks.

How to SAVE FOR A DOWN PAYMENT on a house The process of buying a home can be both exciting and nerve-wrack ing One way to make the process of buying a home go more smoothly is to save enough money to put down a substantial down payment.

Saving for a down payment on a home is similar to saving for other items, only on a far grander scale. Many financial planners and real estate professionals recommend prospective home buyers put down no less than 20 percent of the total cost of the home they’re buying. Down payments short of 20 percent will require private mortgage insurance, or PMI. The cost of PMI depends on a host of variables, but is generally between 0.3 and 1.5 percent of the original loan amount.

While plenty of homeowners pay PMI, buyers who can afford to put down 20 percent can save themselves a considerable amount of money by doing so.

Down payments on a home tend to be substantial, but the following are a few strategies prospective home buyers can employ to grow their savings with an eye toward making a down payment on their next home.

• Decide when you want to buy. The first step to buying a home begins when buyers save their first dollar for a down 6 Floor Plan - Thursday, May 18, 2017

payment. Deciding when to buy can help buyers develop a saving strategy. If buyers decide they want to buy in five years away, they will have more time to build their savings. If buyers want to buy within a year, they will need to save more each month, and those whose existing savings fall far short of the 20 percent threshold may have to accept paying PMI. • Prequalify for a mortgage. Before buyers even look for their new homes, they should first sit down with a mortgage lender to determine how much a mortgage they will qualify for. Prequalifying for a mortgage can make the home buying process a lot easier, and it also can give first-time buyers an idea of how much they can spend. Once lenders prequalify prospective buyers, the buyers can then do the simple math to determine how much they will need to put down. For example, preapproval for a $300,000 loan means buyers will have to put down $60,000 to meet the 20 percent down payment threshold.

In that example, buyers can put down less than $60,000, but they will then have to pay PMI. It’s important for buyers to understand that a down payment is not the only costs they

will have to come up with when buying a home. Closing costs and other fees will also need to be paid by the buyers.

• Examine monthly expenses. Once buyers learn how much mortgage they will qualify for, they will then see how close they are to buying a home. But prospective buyers of all means can save more each month by examining their monthly expenses and looking for ways to save. Buyers can begin by looking over their recent spending habits and then seeing where they can spend less. Cutting back on luxuries and other unnecessary spending can help buyers get closer to buying their next home.

• Avoid risky investments. Some times it’s great to take risks when investing, but risk should be avoided when saving for a down payment on a home. Traditional vehicles like certificates of deposit, or CDs, and savings accounts can ensure the money buyers are saving for their homes is protected and not subject to market fluctuations.

Saving enough to make a down payment on a home can be accomplished if buyers stay disciplined with regard to saving and make sound financial decisions.

Release of debut book for Melba McGee

BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

Melba McGee has done a lot in her life and now can add one more achievement — published author.

The retired teacher saw her first book officially released at a recent book launch at the Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre on Thomas Dolan Parkway at Carp Road.

This debut book, 4/3 — A Baby Boomer Memoir, has been published

by Balboa Press, a publisher that specializes in self-help and mind/body/ spirit books.

In the book, Melba explores what it means to live in the moment, helping her readers to comb through their own life stories to examine the lessons learned in order to live mindfully in the present.

“To live peacefully and joyfully in the present moment, we need to learn

the lessons of the past, to be grateful both for lessons learned and for the person who brought that lesson forth, and then just be authentic and true to self,” Melba explains.

In her view, being mindful in the present will lead to a satisfying daily existence.

As she was approaching her own retirement from her 37-year career in teaching, she realized that those who thrive retire to something, looking forward rather than looking backwards. This means living in the moment, but before this can happen, there is a need to pick through past experiences, examine the lessons learned and analyze the wisdom gained.

The story in 4/3 — A Baby Boomer Memoir takes place from the 1950s to the present, the time of the baby boomers. It tells of the experiences of Melba, a baby boomer herself born

in 1950. The reader travels along with her, seeing through her eyes what happened, how that affected her reactions and thoughts and how that created her own perception of self.

The book also tells about Melba’s family, friends, colleagues and neighbours.

Melba is confident that this book offers a perspective that will help anyone grow into a person that is both uplifted and uplifting.

She wrote the book after receiving encouragement from friends who themselves had learned so much from her stories that they urged her to write them in a book, sharing them with others. The story in the book allows the reader to walk alongside Melba as she grows, learns, experiences, concludes and then just lives life in the moment. In her view, a meaningful life happens first by making sense of everything that is seen, by recogniz-

ing truth, by knowing who we are and then by being of service.

Although this is Melba’s first published book, she has been writing ever since she can remember. She has had a lifetime of preparing lessons for the classroom, of recording and writing minutes for meetings, of telling her stories at a creative writing group and of many conversations about her experiences. She has now formalized all of these stories and experiences in this book so that they may be shared with others throughout the world.

The book 4/3 — A Baby Boomer Memoir is available in hardcover, softcover and ebook at bookstore. balboapress.com (search Melba McGee), at amazon.ca and at indigo.ca.

It is 262 pages in length with a $25 selling price.

The author Melba McGee can be contacted at MelbaMcGee23@ gmail.com.

South winds bring migrating birds

BY MICHAEL RUNTZ

For the past few days I’ve been birdwatching in Point Pelee National Park. I’ve not been alone, however.

Thousands of other bird enthusiasts are also here because the spring bird migration is on.

Pelee is extremely popular with birders for good reason. This sand spit jutting out into Lake Erie lies in the path of birds migrating north from their southern wintering sites. When songbirds cross large bodies of water, they descend on the first land they encounter to rest and refuel before continuing their journey north.

The number of birds arriving at Pelee varies tremendously with a main factor being wind direction. When birds have a tailwind they move en masse. North winds cause migration to grind to a near halt. When I arrived at Pelee there had been a week of north winds and relatively few migrants were present.

But on May 12 the winds shifted to the south and although they were light, myriad feathered creatures took to the air that evening. Sometime during the night light rain fell and hordes of birds dropped into Pelee before dawn.

Thousands of birders also descended on Pelee before dawn. By 6:30 a.m. the parking lots near the Visitor Centre had filled and cars were directed to lots farther north. Shuttle buses took

their occupants to the Visitor Centre where they were bused to the tip, a favoured morning destination. After scouring the tip of Canada’s most southernmost point, birders could return to the Visitor Centre by transit or by walking along woodland trails.

From the Centre, Tilden Woods and other places could be accessed by foot.

Because of the cooling effects of Lake Erie, Pelee’s trees hadn’t fully leafed out, allowing for good views of their occupants. And on May 13 there was much to see. Everywhere small, colourful birds flitted about, their songs filling the air.

Birders that had come from all over the world to Pelee were ecstatic. More than 20 species of wood warblers, the

Yellow-breasted Chats – this one encountered at Point Pelee - are the largest and one of the most secretive of warblers.”

jewels of the bird world, were present, as were scores of thrushes, sparrows, and other songbirds. And there were rarities among them. A Kirtland’s Warbler and a Yellow-breasted Chat — two endangered species — were spotted near the tip. Huge crowds of excited admirers quickly gathered, with cries of elation and camera clicks filling the air every time one of those rarities came into view.

By visiting Hillman Marsh, a conservation area just outside Pelee, birders could add ducks and shorebirds to their list, which could easily rise to 100 species by day’s end. But few did that day because if you left your parking spot near the Visitor Centre you wouldn’t get it back.

I didn’t try for 100 species on May 13 but I’ll be doing so in about a week when I take part in the Great Canadian Birdathon. Then, I will be birding for 24-hour hours to raise money Michael Runtz for the Prince Edward County Bird This Kirtland’s Warbler, one of the rarest birds in North America, created Observatory (with a small portion of the proceeds going to the Macnamara a lot of excitement recently at Pelee.

Trail extension project). If you would like to sponsor me, please visit birdscanada.kintera.org/faf/home/default. asp?ievent=1169312.

Nothing is more enjoyable than birding for a full day while raising money for important groups in the process!

n i a r B e a s e rs

horoscopes

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, as long as you keep trying your best, you will come out on top. Now you just have to have a little more confidence in yourself.

Choose a motivational song as your anthem.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, even if you stumble, you will have an opportunity to regain your footing. Do not shy away from taking a few chances here and there. You can handle what’s in store.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Talk about big plans with someone close to you, Sagittarius.

This person might have some wise words to share, or may just be the sounding board you need right now.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Try something new, Taurus. What is the worst that can happen? If you find you do not like the activity, then check it off your list and embrace a new opportunity.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 This may be one of those weeks when nothing seems to bother you, Virgo. The bad stuff just rolls off your back, and everything seems to keep you smiling.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Mistakes are a key to learning, Capricorn. Don’t let minor hiccups derail you from the larger plan.

Otherwise, your momentum may get seriously stalled.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, think about reconnecting with an old flame. Even if the connection is purely platonic, the stroll down Memory Lane might be good for you.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, weigh all of your options before making a major commitment. Once you move forward, you may not have much room to turn things around.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Confidence is the key to just about anything, Aquarius. This week you have it in abundance. At this point, you can probably sell ice to eskimos, so put your luck to good use.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, this week may be a turning point for you in your life. Although you feel ready for the changes that are in store, you may have to adapt a bit more once they’re here.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, someone is trying to tell you something but you may not be receiving the message just yet.

Settle in and the message may dawn on you at a later time.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 A career move may be imminent and it could be worrying you, Pisces.

After the first few days, things will be smooth sailing.
