Thugs target rural home Home invasion on Dwyer Hill Road John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

For the second time this year, a resident is their 60s has been the victim of a home invasion in the Upper Dwyer Hill-Ritchie Side Road area just east of Arnprior.

Ottawa Police Services report two males armed with a long-barelled shotgun entered a rural home on Upper Dwyer Hill road at about 4:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 22, threatened a woman in her early 60s and stole a number of items.

The victim was not injured, unlike the incident on Jan. 5 in the same area in which a man in his 60s was brutally assaulted and robbed by two men who broke into his home.

In the latest incident, the woman was home alone when she heard a knock at the door.

She then encountered two male suspects who had entered the home.

Police report one suspect was armed with the firearm and the other made a demand for cash.

The suspects stole an undisclosed quantity of cash, jewelry, the victim’s cell phone and her vehicle keys.

The two men then fled in the victim’s vehicle.

A short time later, the black Dodge Caravan was reported being driven erratically along Highway 417 eastbound toward Ottawa.

john.carter@metroland.com

The resident of a home in the MacLaren’s Landing area of West Carleton fled an early morning fire Wednesday, Aug. 24.

There were no injuries, but police say the occupant was treated for shock by paramedics.

Ottawa firefighters report being called to the home at 255 MacLaren’s Side Road at 4:05 a.m. Ottawa Fire Services received calls about smoke coming from the rural home.

When firefighters arrived, they found the two-storey wood home ablaze with flames visible. The occupant had already made it out safely along with the family dog.

The fire crew immediately began suppression efforts and knocked the fire down before the structure collapsed. However, the home was basically gutted with significant fire, smoke and water damage.

Firefighters were on scene most of the day. Members of the Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Police Services, Ottawa Hydro and Victim Services also attended.

An Ottawa Fire Services investigator visited the SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND scene in an effort to determine the cause of the fire. No A home at 255 MacLaren’s Side Road in the northwest corner of West Carleton was badly damaged in an early morning fire damage estimate has yet been released.

Police search for suspects Sailor goes missing off Constance Bay From front page

It was found abandoned several hours later in a parking lot on Silver Seven Road in Kanata.

TWO SUSPECTS

The two suspects are described as follows: • black male, 20-30 years old, 6’0” (183 cm), slim build, wearing dark clothing and a baseball cap; • black male, much shorter, about 5’6” (168 cm), slim build, and ‘dread-lock’ styled hair, wearing dark clothing.

While Ottawa Police said while they believe the victim in the January home invasion was targeted, “at this time there is no indication that the victim, or the address, was specifically targeted (in Monday’s attack).”

The Ottawa Police Service Robbery Unit is investigating the home invasion and is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspects responsible.

ROBBERY UNIT ON CASE

Anyone with information regarding this robbery, or any oth-

er robbery, is asked to call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116.

Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or by downloading the Ottawa Police app.

The Jan. 5 home invasion took place in the same area.

Ritchie Side Road runs off Upper Dwyer Hill Road just west of the Mississippi River between Galetta and Kinburn Side roads.

The male victim, who was also alone when the attacked happened, was rushed to hospital with serious injuries after the attack, which happened about 8 p.m.

Among the several items stolen were keepsakes of the victim’s deceased spouse.

The two suspects in that case were described as males, dressed all in black, 20 to 35 years old, about 5’8” to 5’10” (173 to 178 centimetres) tall.

No arrests have been made.

“The name is branding,” said Voyago’s operations manager Yvonne Swant. “It’s catchy and I like it.”

The company has been around for more than 35 years and had beginnings simply doing runs to the airport.

“We experienced a lot of growth and [hope] to bring new energy and enthusiasm,” said Voyago’s president Theresa Matthews.

Support for Carp transplant patient prompts service of thanksgiving at St. James Staff

St. James Anglican Church of Carp is inviting the community to a special service of thanksgiving and celebration on Sunday, Sept. 11.

Rev. Monique Stone said a recent successful transplant for a community member reminded her what a wonderful community the Carp area is.

To express its appreciation the St. James congregation is holding an Ice Cream Sunday and Thanksgiving for the community. All Carp area residents are invited to join in at 10:30 a.m. for the service “celebrating the many blessings of

the community of Carp.”

There will be a short service of giving thanks for the people, activities and organizations of the community and then participants will celebrate with ice cream.

The ice cream and fixin’s are being provided by the church and Kathy Craig and family.

A longstanding community member, Craig recently received a live liver transplant in Toronto. She is doing very well and is thankful for the “amazing support that she has received from everyone in our beloved town,” said Rev. Stone.

“What you may not know is that the

donor match who offered the extreme gift of being Kathy’s liver donor is also a member of our community,” she added.

“This has been an amazing blessing!

And has made us feel quite thankful for our community.”

Rev. Stone said that it got the congregation thinking about the community and “we realized we have so much more to be thankful for and we really should celebrate.”

So all are welcome to the service. Those attending are asked to bring a blanket and/or chair to sit outside. However, if it’s raining the service will be held inside.

Ottawa Police to focus on school zones next week This week and next, children will be returning to school and many will be busing, walking and riding their bikes to their destinations.

The Ottawa Police Service reminds motorists and pedestrians to be aware of the in-

crease of children and youth on city streets.

“Our officers will be conducting speed enforcement initiatives in multiple school zones,” said A/S/Sgt. Felix Letellier, “They will monitor those areas, as well as ensure

compliance when a school bus stops and flashes its lights.”

“The return of children to school is always an adjustment for all road users,” said A/Sgt. Letellier. “For everyone’s safety: drivers - make driving your number one pri-

ority; pedestrians and cyclists - be aware of your surroundings; and everyone - obey all rules of the road.”

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is seeking a responsible, customer-focused retailer to operate an LCBO Agency Store in Fitzroy Harbour.

613-432-8997

To qualify, the applicant must have an existing, currently operating retail business in the community and commit to operating the Agency store within established LCBO guidelines.

To facilitate the sale of beverage alcohol products, the operator may be required to enter into separate commercial arrangements with the LCBO and domestic beer suppliers. The successful applicant will also be required to participate in a special LCBO server-training program to ensure the responsible sale of beverage alcohol products.

Since 1962, the LCBO has authorized more than 200 Agency stores to serve communities that have requested service but where the local population is too small to support a regular LCBO or beer store. These Agency stores are operated by local retailers within their existing retail business. Agency store contracts are normally awarded for a five-year term. In communities where there is currently an Agency store, as the contract nears expiry, the LCBO will take into consideration the fact that new businesses in the community may have been established and will allow an opportunity for all businesses in the community to compete for the next five-year term.

Operating an LCBO Agency Store provides a retailer with an excellent opportunity to increase revenue and attract customers while providing local residents with beverage alcohol services. Agency stores also deliver economic benefits to the community in many cases through job creation and increased customer traffic for local merchants.

For this competition, the LCBO must receive requests for the application package from interested businesses by mail before end of business day Friday, September 16, 2016.

The application requests must quote the following information: RFP #2016-115 Fitzroy Harbour Request for Application Package Procurement and Contract Management, LCBO 1 Yonge Street, Suite 1404 Toronto, ON M5E 1E5 Please note: An application fee of $100 must be included with your request in order to receive an application package. Make the cheque or money order payable to the LCBO only.

In order to be considered for this business opportunity, applicants must submit to LCBO Procurement and Contract Management a completed proposal in the required format before the closing date and time, Friday, September 30, 2016. Late submissions will not be accepted and will be returned unopened.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Transit infrastructure spending in Kanata I was so proud to have the Prime Minister announce our Government’s investments in transit across the province. Here in Kanata-Carleton the federal government will help fund the Kanata LRT Environmental Assessment ($1.5M) and two Kanata Cycle Links ($925,000). Also included among the 57 specific projects across the city and rural areas, was $1.25M to improve Park & Rides and $325,000 for bicycle shelters on the transit way. Improved transit to, and within, Kanata is important to our continued growth.

Capital Pride I had a wonderful time with many of my federal and provincial colleagues as we celebrated diversity at Ottawa’s Capital Pride Parade. A little rain could not dampen our spirits and it was great to connect with so many enthusiastic people. As was pointed out, you can’t have a rainbow without a little rain!

22 Push-up Challenge I was thrilled to attend the Arcadia Fun Fest and participate in the 22 push-up challenge. The challenge was created to bring attention to the fact that, on average, 22 veterans take their own lives in the US every day. I am happy to accept the challenge, and will incorporate the push-ups into my daily exercise routine. I have also donated to this very worthy cause. Please visit the Wounded Warriors website for more information about the challenge: http://woundedwarriors.ca/ways-to-give/ 22-push-ups/ Upcoming Town Hall Please join us at our next Town Hall, to be held at the Eva James Community Centre in Bridlewood, on Wednesday, 14 September from 6:30 – 8:30 pm.

OPINION

Connected to your community

City and police agree to keep public in the dark

I

t’s funny how those whose pay cheques are paid for by the public hate it when the public gets a glimpse into the inner workings of their operations.

How else can residents of Ottawa take the comments that have been coming from the mayor and the police chief when it comes to the internal strife going on within this city’s police force.

On Aug. 25, just a day after a protest in front of police headquarters demanding justice in the case of Abdirahman Abdi, a Somali man who died after a confrontation with police in the city, the mayor, police chief, police union head and police board chair gathered in private to clear the air over what appears to be ongoing dissension within police ranks.

After that closed door meeting, the mayor emerged to concede the meeting wasn’t a “love-in”, but said they all agreed to work together to solve any issues within the force.

But, and this is the key for those in the public, they will do this working together like they held their meeting, behind closed doors and out of public view. “Our members have a very difficult job to do out there. It’s been compounded by some of the very public discussion that has been taking place within the media,” said

Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau. “We all agree that these conversations have no place in the public forum.”

Good to know that they all agree that the city’s police force’s internal issues are nobody’s business but theirs.

The internal discord came to light last March, when Const. Paul Heffler sent a letter to his colleagues criticizing senior staff for treating rank-and-file officers like “dime store security guards.”

Since then, Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof has been publicly vocal about several police board decisions, including a plan to fold community officers into a patrol unit. He has even called for the police board’s chair to resign. And that prompted Watson to say that any cops that are unhappy with their jobs should quit.

There’s no doubt residents would like to know issues causing internal strife within their police department are addressed. Unfortunately, residents of the city will now have to sit back and wait for the mayor, police chief, police association and police board chair to deem them worthy of knowing what is going on once they have decided what is appropriate to let their bosses — the public — know.

New pedestrian bridge might be good solution

A

t first glance, you might be a bit disappointed that some of the big federal transportation money announced for Ottawa last week was for a pedestrian bridge.

There was money for trains, buses, design, transit structures, and so on.

But how does a pedestrian bridge help ease our congestion woes, you might ask.

Well, it makes big sense the more you think about it. The more people walk, the fewer people drive and this bridge — over the Rideau Canal linking Fifth and Clegg avenues — will get more people walking to a venue where traffic is always an issue, Lansdowne Park.

The Corktown Footbridge linking the University of Ottawa and Centretown has made life more convenient for residents of both

A new bridge has the additional benefit of bringing people from one neighbourhood into another that they don’t normally walk to.

Who knows what can result from that, bringing Glebeites into touch with folks from Ottawa East?

Certainly nothing bad.

In a more general sense, footbridges turn cities in a more liveable direction. In any city, and certainly in ours, the best neighbourhoods are those where people can get what they need, do what they want to do, on foot or with a bicycle.

understand this, in the abstract, we have somehow been moving in the wrong direction for years, putting up residential developments with no stores nearby, building huge superstores great distances away from the people who use them, allowing small neighbourhood stores to be driven out of business by overpowering competitors, not to mention high rents and increasing property taxes.

Those neighbourhood stores have a better chance of surviving if people are nearby and able to get to them easily. Widening the Queensway does nothing for this.

The next few years will see major changes in the way people get around, with light rail causing shifts in where people choose to live and how they choose to get from here to there. Or at least that’s the hope.

When you consider all those changes, adding one more footbridge is not a dramatic initiative, to be sure. But dramatic steps have not been getting us anywhere.

Maybe small steps are worth a try.

Look at how significant the small undertaking of creating downtown bike lanes has been.

If cities are to survive and thrive past the age of vehicular strangulation, there have to be more people on foot.

So any money devoted to this most ancient form of transportation is money well spent.

In search of a good night’s sleep on a hot night It wasn’t very hot on Sunday, but by noon the humidity was so oppressive it was like walking into a wet blanket. It hit you in the face and sucked the breath out of you.

I decided to turn the air conditioning on so that I would have the energy to clean the house. It seemed to work. The temperature didn’t really change in the two hours I had the A/C on, but the humidity was moderated. I could breathe.

When you live in a big farmhouse, just the two of you, with four other unpopulated bedrooms and many different rooms, it can be difficult to moderate the temperature.

In winter we stock up the wood stove, close the doors on the rooms that aren’t being used, and wear extra sweaters and socks.

In summer, the upper floor of the house can be quite stifling.

It takes the air conditioning all day to cool things down and with just the two of us here, I can hardly justify the use of electricity.

Until the middle of the night, when I can’t

sleep.

I had to close the windows downstairs because the barn cat decided when he wants in he’s just going to rip a hole in the screen.

The beast did that the other night and left such a gaping hole that when I went into the kitchen at midnight I discovered a tiny green frog sitting on the stove. Add window screens to the list of items that need to be replaced.

The windows were open upstairs, but we don’t get much of a breeze in our room on the east side of the farmhouse.

I flipped and flopped for a few hours, trying to get comfortable in the stuffy bedroom. The Farmer was pretty content, his fan trained right on his face.

I can’t sleep with a fan blowing my hair over my nose. I packed up my pillow and went to the opposite end of

the house, where there is a spare bed and the breeze (if there is any) is constantly blowing right in the window.

I lasted about an hour in there until mosquitoes found me.

And the blinking from the computer in the corner kept waking me up.

Bedroom #3 was perfect. Just the right breeze, lighting and proximity to my husband’s fan so that I can still hear the white noise but not feel it.

I drifted off into a sound, deep sleep. Until the cows came out.

Why, in the middle of the night (about 2:30 a.m.) did the cows come out? They usually stay in the barn until sunrise.

I could hear them calling and answering each other in the dark. I worried that a fisher or coyote was in the barnyard, harassing the calves. Down I went, out onto the back porch, and trained a flashlight into the pitch black.

There was the entire herd, gathered around the burn barrel. They appeared to be discussing its contents after our annual farm party clean-up.

“Hey. What are you doing? Would you please shut up?!” I shouted my rhetorical questions at the bawling bovines. They turned and looked at me, 25 pairs of blinking, glowing eyes. Finally. Silence.

Back to bed. I slept for about two more hours when a cold wind from the Arctic suddenly flew up the pasture and into my bedroom window. I had to get under the duvet and bundle up.

I got to sleep about two more hours before the sun – and the Farmer –woke me.

I realized my head was completely congested – not sure whether it’s allergies or a cold because in August the two seem to be interchangeable. The humidity gets you all stuffed up, then the cold gives you a chill.

I wandered into the bathroom to assess the bags under my eyes. Ugh.

Criticism of mayor lacking in facts To the Editor: In a letter to the editor published Aug. 11 (West Carleton Review), Penny McNeely of West Carleton, exercised, as she said, the right to her opinion.

Since opinions are rarely factchecked, sometimes it is incumbent on the subject of such opinions to rebut.

First, I am the mayor of Mississippi Mills, not Almonte. This is important in that Ms. McNeely mentioned contaminated drinking water. The contamination is in a small area of rural Ramsay ward, not Almonte ward.

She chastises me for not informing residents about that contamination - the residents knew about it before I did. A fire lab operated by the National Research Council (NRC), a federal crown corporation, caused the pollution.

As mayor, I had no authority or

It was going to be a long day.

According to the meteorologists at Environment Canada, we broke records in July.

It was the hottest month on record. I’m wondering where we stand now, as July seems to have extended an additional month.

That wasn’t me complaining though. No, sirree. Six months from now we will likely be praying for a break in the frigid cold – the kind that makes your eyes water, hurts your face and sucks the breath out of you.

Commemorative park naming: Doug Rivington Park On August 26 the City of Ottawa honoured Doug Rivington with naming a park in his honour. The newly named Doug Rivington Park is located at 701 Meadowridge Circle.

Mr. Rivington was born and raised in Carp and has served his community in many capacities over the years. He and his wife Helen were instrumental in assisting with the development of a recreational soccer field on Langstaff Drive. Doug has also dedicated many years to being Chairman of the local school board and Warden at St. James Church. In addition, Mr. Rivington helped many local businesses and has provided employment to a number of tradesmen. Doug has also provided support to several local organizations including the Carp Fair, Curling Club of Huntley, West Carleton Arena, Huntley Centennial School and the West Carleton Library. As well, his gracious labour to the Carp Splash Pad and the conversion of the Parish of Huntley Hall to being wheelchair accessible are just some examples of his worthiness of this commemoration.

CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT RIVERSIDE SOUTH MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN UPDATE RIDEAU RIVER STUDY AREA REVISED NOTICE OF COMPLETION In September 2008, the City of Ottawa completed the Riverside South Community Master Drainage Plan Update (MDPU) and Riverside South Community Infrastructure Servicing Study Update (ISSU) in support of the Riverside South Community Design Plan (CDP). The study was part of a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to review infrastructure servicing alternatives for the Riverside South Community area of Ottawa. The final MDPU identified the preferred stormwater management alternative.

In October 2012, the City of Ottawa released revised sewer design guidelines with new criteria for stormwater management and storm sewer design. In addition, changes to the City of Ottawa Official Plan are promoting increased density of development and significant land use changes.

An update to the CDP was initiated in 2014 and finalized in 2016 to reflect land use, density, and transportation changes.

To supplement the CDP, an update to the MDPU was completed to review the overall drainage plan for the study area that integrates with and enhances the natural environment of the study area. The update was divided into two study areas based on the receiving watercourse; directly to the Rideau River or to Mosquito Creek via proposed stormwater management facilities. This notice pertains to the MDPU Report for areas draining to the Rideau River “Rideau River Study Area” which presents an update to the existing natural environment of the study area as well as recommends a preferred stormwater management strategy for the proposed Riverside South Community.

By this Notice, the 2016 MDPU is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007, 2011 and 2015). Please note that only the changes proposed in the MDPU are open for review.

Pushing for awareness of the need to help ‘Wounded Warriors’ MichelleNash michelle.nash@metroland.com

On the 20th day of his 22 push-ups challenge, Daniel Kucherhan had the support of his whole community behind him.

It might be because he wisely chose to do his push-ups during a community party – as children, firefighters and a local politician joined in on the day’s task – and Kucherhan said he felt it helped highlight a very real subject matter.

The 22 Push Ups 22 Days challenge is simple – participants do 22 push-ups for 22 days. Each day they share their efforts via a video posted to social media, calling out a new nominee to join in the challenge.

Aside from getting physical, each participant is also asked to donate $22 to Wounded Warriors of Canada for the cause.

In Kucherhan’s case, having the support of his community at Arcadia’s Summer FunFest on Aug. 20 made that day’s push-ups a little easier.

“My two daughters: Sienna and Keira have supported me emotionally and physically, doing push-ups along side me during some of the daily push-ups,” Kucherhan said, adding it was really great to see residents, firefighters as well as both Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson and Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon join him on day 20 in

Arcadia Park. McCrimmon joined Kucherhan for the 22 push-up challenge, donating the $22 to the cause. An avid exerciser, she added she intends to do the challenge every day, but will not be recording it. After the event McCrimmon said she finds it’s this type of campaign that reminds everyone there are veterans who need help.

End delay in saving American Eel from extinction: conservation groups Conservation groups are calling on the provincial government of Ontario to obey the Ontario Endangered Species Act (ESA) and begin implementing the recovery strategy for American Eel. Aug. 22 marked the two-year anniversary of the due date of the

government response statement, a critical step in implementing the actions outlined in the species’ recovery strategy.

On July 12, the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) wrote to Ontario Natural Resources and Forestry Minister Kathryn Mc-

Garry to inquire about the status of the government response statement. To date, no response has been received beyond an acknowledgement of receipt.

Given the delay in issuing the government response statement and the perilous situation of this

species in Ontario, conservation organizations are “deeply concerned” about the lack of urgency and transparency displayed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in addressing the issue.

A second letter was submitted and can be found on-line at http:// cwf-fcf.org.

A wide variety of stakeholders including the province of Ontario had been working to understand how to save the American Eel for years before the Endangered Species Act came into force in 2008.

Several key organizations including the Canadian Wildlife Federation, Ottawa Riverkeeper, Ontario Rivers Alliance, and Ontario Nature have joined with CWF to mutually call for immediate government action.

“As a group of concerned conservation organizations, we feel strongly that it is now time to get down to work and start implementing actions to recover this unique fish species,” says Nicolas Lapointe, CWF’s senior conservation biologist, freshwater ecology.

“We are calling on the Government of Ontario to resolve any outstanding issues and finalize their response statement as soon as possible so that it can begin dedicating the necessary resources to support recovery of the American Eel. The survival of the species in Ontario depends on it.”

The organization agree that the American Eel is in decline worldwide, but note that one of the most dramatic declines has occurred in Ontario, where the species is at less than one per cent of its historic abundance. In the Ottawa River, American Eel was once the most common species, comprising up to 50 per cent of the river’s biomass.

The entire global population is connected during spawning, when adults migrate from freshwaters ranging from Greenland to Venezuela to spawn in the Sargasso Sea

near the Bahamas. Eels from the St. Lawrence River, Ottawa River, and Lake Ontario are particularly important to the global population. All eels found in these areas are female and they grow to be the largest American Eel in existence.

The large females carry so many eggs that, until recently, they contributed from 25 to 67 per cent of the global population’s reproduction. “The loss of so many highly reproductive females is a major threat to the survival of the entire species,” says the CWF. Over the past century, overfishing contributed to the loss of American Eel in Lake Ontario, though no such fisheries existed in the Ottawa River where parallel declines occurred. There dams are the biggest problem, because they block both upstream and downstream migration, points out the CWF. There are many options exist to help recover American Eel. Commercial fisheries in Ontario have been closed, and several groups have assisted with efforts to trap and transport eels around dams. Eel ladders have been installed at two dams on the St. Lawrence River, allowing juvenile eels to climb over these barriers.

Screens are being installed on one dam in the Ottawa River to keep adult females away from turbines.

“However, much more needs to be done,” says the CWF. For example, Ontario’s recovery strategy calls for the installation of eel ladders to restore access to former habitats at a rate of 10 per cent every five years. The first five-year mark is quickly approaching in 2018, yet no ladders have been installed since the recovery strategy was published.

Since that time, little progress has been made towards recovering American Eel in Ontario, and the overdue Government Response Statement is a clear lynchpin in the recovery process, concluds the CWF and its partners.

A howling success for Algonquin and Bonnechere visits This past weekend I conducted Wolf Howls for Algonquin and Bonnechere Provincial parks.

For both events, following my presentation on Eastern Wolves (the small wolves residing in Algonquin), participants headed out into the wilds where I tried to elicit responses from wolves.

At this time of year, Eastern Wolves are at rendezvous sites, which are open grassy areas where the pups are left while the adults go hunting. Beaver meadows are popular rendezvous sites (named thus because pups and adults reunite or rendezvous regularly).

The Algonquin event was held at Achray on beautiful Grand Lake. The night was delightfully dark with constellations and planets punctuating the blackness while the Milky Way blazed a pathway across it.

At only our second stop, a pack of wolves responded to my howls. They were distant and we tried to get closer, but the wolves seemed on the move, and despite several attempts from other locations they were not heard again.

Still, we heard wolves and were treated to a breathtaking visual show, one that included several shooting stars, high above us.

The Bonnechere Howl was held under very different conditions. Clouds hid the sky, but there was no wind. Wind makes hearing wolves difficult, especially if they are distant, but it was calm and we knew that if wolves did respond, even if several kilometres away, they would be heard.

Although the presentation was given in Bonnechere Provincial Park, the group, which this year numbered more than 150, travelled up Turners Road into Algonquin, a mere 15 kilometres away.

We stopped at several sites along the road where historically wolves have howled back at me. After a few unsuccessful attempts and with a light drizzle sputtering on and off, we left Algonquin.

But we made one final stop along Turners Road before it reached Highway 62 where to the north resided an old airfield.

We stopped at this site because there had been a report of wolves howling from there the previous night.

After only a couple of my howls, wolves answered back from the north. It was a spectacular response, with a couple of adults starting off the reply and a large group of pups quickly joining in.

Adult Eastern Wolves vocalize with long, MICHAEL RUNTZ deep howls that rise and fall, but they do not This Eastern Wolf pup was part of a pack encountered along the Basin Road. start off by yipping, as do Eastern Coyotes when they howl. However, Eastern Wolf pups loudly yip and yap, creating a cacophony not unlike that made by a pack of coyotes.

Normally, a response by a full pack of wolves lasts about 30 seconds. However, this reply went on and on, lasting close to a full minute, as if the wolves were making up for the lack of a spectacular night show overhead.

The wolves – a mere half a kilometre away - left every participant with a vivid, lifelong memory.

The howls of wolves take us back to an earlier time in our past. They stir us in a way that no other sound in Nature does. They also tell us that we still have vestiges of wilderness in our area.

May they continue to tell us that for genTHE CAPITAL FAIR WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR erations to come.

Rare blackbird’s appearance locally excites area’s birders The Almonte Lagoon and Nature trail, across from Auld Kirk cemetery on Ramsay Concession 8, has been the recipient of several rare birds over the past few years.

The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) Potvin Observation Tower provides a platform with views across the lagoons.

On Saturday morning, Aug. 13, a Western

bird, a juvenile male yellow-headed blackbird, was spotted by noted Ottawa birder Mark Gawn, feeding on the exposed mudflats and hiding in the cattails.

Immediately the signal went out over the birding networks and area birders began pouring in to get a glimpse of this rarity. At one point in the morning, a peregrine falcon

zoomed in over the lagoon like a marauding spitfire and scared all of the shorebirds and the blackbird away, but within half an hour, the rare visitor returned, much to the delight of those who came to observe the bird and log the sighting in their records.

The yellow-headed blackbird has a range across the west from Lake Michigan, with a few coming into the Point Peele area around Windsor.

An inch larger than our most familiar redwinged blackbird, the adult male is all black with a brilliant yellow head and chest. Most distinctive is a white wing patch. The adult female has a more mottled yellow head and chest and does not show a wing patch.

The Almonte lagoon and Nature Trail sports an observation tower overlooking the fence and berm. The tower, named for its donor Al Potvin, was erected by MVFN several years ago and the nature trail leading to the tower is maintained regularly by MVFN members.

Having this excellent site and access trail in the area is of great value to local birders and others, and also has value for the local economy. In an economic study of the facility done in 2015 by MVFN member Cliff Bennett, a questionnaire was sent out all across Ontario through the ONTBIRDS network to gauge the dollar value of this magnetic draw of rare shorebirds and other birds coming in to rest and feed during migration.

The results showed that during the year,

AKIROQ BRUST/SUBMITTED

A female Yellow-headed blackbird.

88 people had visited the lagoon, making a total of 265 visits. While in town, they spent over $4,000 on gasoline, food and other shopping.

Today, the lagoon and nature trail is regularly visited and reported on by the Ottawa birding network as well as local birders.

If you have not yet visited this facility, watch for MVFN’s series of September Open Houses at the Potvin Observation Tower.

They will be held on four Wednesdays in September, i.e. Sept. 7, 14, 21, and 28 from 3 to 5 p.m. On each of these days, an expert birder will be on site with a spotting scope to help you identify the lagoon’s visitors.

Three youths chased, arrested after SUV rolls near Clayton Officers from the Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged three youths with a number of offences following an incident near Clayton on Saturday, Aug. 27.

OPP were called to a suspicious BMW SUV being driven in the southwest end of Mississippi Mills at 11:35 a.m. While responding, the officers received a further call about a vehicle matching the description of the suspect SUV that had rolled over into a field on Bellamy Mills Road.

Three suspects fled the scene into nearby bush.

The OPP immediately contained the area

and initiated a search by members of the Emergency Response Team (ERT) and canine officers.

Two suspects were located on foot and the third suspect who had fled on an All-Terrain Vehicle was subsequently arrested.

The youths, two males and one female, are charged with one count each of break and enter and stealing a firearm, break and enter to commit and indictable offence, taking a motor vehicle without consent, and possession of property valued over $5,000.

One of the youths is also charged with three counts of failing to comply with a recognizance.

Hot temperatures not an excuse to trespass around OPG dams Labour Day is fast approaching, and as people savour what is left of summer, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) reminds them that their facilities are no place for recreation.

Trespassing around hydroelectric stations and dams can result in a hefty fine.

“We have had a very hot summer and water levels are lower in many areas, which can make the water around our dams and stations look inviting. But these areas are never safe and I want to warn the public to ‘Stay

Clear and Stay Safe’,” said Mike Martelli, OPG’s president of renewable generation and power marketing.

“Low water levels can also expose shoals and other underwater hazards. The areas around our facilities can be dangerous and conditions can change quickly.”

Trespassing around OPG stations or dams is illegal and trespassers can be charged.

Please visit www.opg.com/watersafety to learn more.

OPP have not yet identified owners of some recovered property.

Anyone who believes they may have been the victim of a crime connected to this incident but has not yet spoken with police is asked to contact the Lanark County Detachment OPP at the 1-888- 310-1122 toll-free number.

All three youths were held in custody pending a bail hearing.

The Lanark County OPP thanks the local community for its support and cooperation during the incident. Residents assisted in maintaining public safety by remaining at home, reducing travel in the area and reporting suspicious activity.

WC Electric qualifies for the championship round Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

There are four teams left in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League playoffs, and one of them is West Carleton Electric.

The Fitzroy-based team has a big challenge ahead of it as it begins championship round play against the regular season’s top team, the Micksburg Twins.

West Carleton’s series with Stittsville went the limit with game five on Aug. 24. The Electric won 8-1 to advance.

The Quyon Flyers bested the Carp-based Ottawa Valley A’s 9-2 last Tuesday, winning their series in

three games straight. The I4C Victory decided to withdraw from their series against Kars Aces.

The final four are Quyon, West Carleton, Kars and Micksburg.

Kars and Quyon game were to kick off the playoffs Tuesday in Quyon. The championship round is a double knockout event, which means any team with two losses is eliminated. The games will span a couple weeks with the potential of seven games to be played.

West Carleton Electric will begin in Micksburg at a date to be announced. The winning teams in the first two games will square off, as will the two losing teams, with that loser eliminated.

Final stretch for ladies ball Batter Christine Michon makes a run to first base with umpire Leo O’Rourke and catcher Bonnie McGonigal in the backgroun during a ladies softball game on Aug. 18 in Fitzroy Harbour. The Aug. 25 games were played on a hot evening, but the ladies persevered. Dark Blue won over Pink and Black were beat by Light Blue in the 6:30 p.m. game. Purple beat Orange in the 8 p.m. game, ending Orange’s win streak, reports Chelsea Dykens, who runs the league. The final games of the season are this evening (Sept. 1).

If you spent the summer on the golf course learning the swing for the first time, why not sign up for Canadian Golf Teachers Federation certified member Wayne Thivierge’s theory class and learn the game.

“A lot of beginners learn the game initially by watching their golf buddies play during a round,” said Thivierge, who is also a CPGA A Class associate.

“But that’s how their golf buddies learned too. From properly marking a ball to preswing routines, I’m thinking, there might be some important information missing.”

Thivierge is hosting a two-class program for those who were bitten by the golf bug recently and want to learn more about the game.

“We’re going to learn theory and the essentials,” he said. “What’s in the bag, course management, simple stuff, but essential. I’ve attended a similar class in Ottawa and the participants were very happy with it.”

Participants can enrol in two classes held over a very flexible two-week schedule for $25.

Class openings are at 6 p.m., 7 p.m. or 8

‘It wasn’t a love-in’: Mayor, police brass to keep internal strife internal Lucy Scholey Metro Ottawa

Ottawa’s mayor and top police brass say they will work together, following a tumultuous few months of publicly aired internal strife.

Police chief Charles Bordeleau, Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof and police services board chair Eli El-Chantiry met with Mayor Jim Watson behind his office’s closed doors last Thursday morning.

But despite the heated backand-forth in recent headlines, they decided to keep details of the private meeting to themselves.

“Our members have a very difficult job to do out there. It’s been compounded by some of the very public discussion that has been taking place within the media,” said Bordeleau.

“We all agree that these conversations have no place in the public forum.”

Watson described it as a “very thorough and frank discussion” about issues that can be dealt with internally, at the board level, or provincially.

The four plan to meet again in two to three weeks to talk about progress.

“It was respectful, but it wasn’t a love-in,” said Watson, of the meeting.

The internal discord came to light last March, when Const.

Paul Heffler sent a letter to his colleagues criticizing senior staff for treating rank-and-file officers like “dime store security guards.”

Since then, Skof has been publicly vocal about several police board decisions, including a plan to fold community officers into a patrol unit.

He called for El-Chantiry’s resignation after the police board chair denied morale among officers was low.

Recently, Watson said that if any cops are unhappy with their jobs, they should quit.

The four city and police leaders took a different tone – publicly, at least – on Aug. 25.

“As we’ve all agreed, something needs to change,” Skof said.

“We’re hopeful to see that in LUCY SCHOLEY/METRO the coming weeks.”

– With files from Emma Jack- From left Ottawa police services board chairman Eli El-Chantiry, Mayor Jim Watson, Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof and police chief Charles Bordeleau address reporters. son

Broadcaster Gord Atkinson pens second book on showbiz John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

His first book in 1996 profiled 36 showbiz celebrities.

His second, follow-up book published this year includes over 40 more showbiz profiles. All this from Stittsville resident Gord Atkinson, whose 50-year career in broadcasting, mostly with CFRA Radio in Ottawa, saw him interview all of these personalities and more.

His first book in 1996, entitled ‘Gord Atkinson’s Showbill’, which reflected the name of his awardwinning radio program, sold in the thousands, absolutely astounding its author with its success.

But although a sequel or second book was envisioned early on after the success of the first book, it did not happen until this year. Indeed, it was just about a year ago that Atkinson made the decision to write this second book while, he says, he still had the energy to do it.

And the result has been the book ‘The Golden Years of Entertainment: Show Business from the Gaslight Age to the Space Age’, which is also being billed as ‘Gord Atkinson’s Showbill: Volume Two’.

Similar to the first, this new

book features a host of over 40 showbiz profiles but this sequel also includes a synopsis of show business in the 20th century.

Writing, whether a book, a script or a column, is nothing new for Atkinson. Although best known as a broadcaster, he has also spent much of his life writing, either related to his work in broadcasting or arising from it. For instance, he wrote a column for the Ottawa Citizen for 12 years as well as writing for the former Ottawa Journal.

He has also written a column for a number of years for a seniors publication in Ottawa.

He admits that his first book was a challenge because it was difficult to narrow down for profiling the many entertainers that he had interviewed over the years.

His publisher, Creative Bound of Carp, left it up to him about whom to write about in the book although suggestions were made about whose profile would help sell books.

For this second book, Atkinson says the choice of whom to profile “came easy” from among the 200 or so celebrity interviews that he had conducted over the years.

Some had been profiled in various columns that he had written while

came from interviews which Atkinson did in connection with his award-winning chronological radio series ‘The Crosby Years’, dealing with the career of Bing Crosby.

It was released in 1975 and subsequently has been broadcast around the world. Atkinson describes ‘The Crosby Years’ as “the work of my life,” acknowledging that he has been a Crosby fan ever since he was a teenager.

Another who was influential in aiding Atkinson in his interviews over the years was Ottawa-born singer Paul Anka, who made his radio debut on Atkinson’s show.

Atkinson was the emcee for the Elvis Presley concert at the old Ottawa Auditorium. He also served as the emcee for the multi-million dollar fundraising concerts for the Ottawa Hospital featuring Frank Sinatra and Rich Little.

His new book also features numerous photographs, many with a local flavour such as ones with his fellow radio and TV personalities like Ken ‘The General’ Grant and Bill Luxton and his favourite photo, one of he and his wife Elaine with Larry Mann, his great friend and mentor.

Inquiries about the book should be directed to 613-836-2374.

In addition, he has included an historical narrative of show business from the 1890s up to the era of rock ‘n roll.

He notes that not much has been written about the entertainment business in the first half of the 20th century, adding that there was a vibrant world of pop music before Elvis and rock ‘n roll came along.

For instance, Bing Crosby’s record sales were immense in the first half of the 20th century.

Have you ‘herd’ about Carp Community 4-H Beef Club?

Megan Carroll Carp Community 4-H club

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Proud to Serve You It is a privilege and an honour to serve as your Member of Provincial Parliament for the great riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills. If you are a constituent of this riding and you are faced with a problem that involves the Ontario provincial government, please note I am here to help you.

Drivers Beware: Costs Going Up, Again The annual cost to renew your Ontario license plate sticker is going up, again. As of September 1st, 2016, the cost for a southern Ontario license plate sticker will be $120.00 per year. This is an increase of $12.00 from last year’s annual rate of $108.00.

License plate sticker costs have soared in recent years. In fact, they have increased 62% since 2011, when it was ‘only’ $74.00 per year to renew. These big cost increases are unacceptable. Life is quickly becoming unaffordable in Ontario. And life is harder under this Ontario Government as costs for basic living necessities continue to soar under their governance.

On Wednesday, Aug. 17, the Carp Community 4-H club held a beef meeting at Aubrie Mowat’s farm.

During this meeting, we talked about ideas for our tie-up at Carp Fair, as well as practiced showmanship. For those unaware of what “tie-up� is, it is simply where we tie our cattle when we show at the fair.

Each club decorates the area where the cattle are to match the theme of Carp Fair, which this year is growing forward in MEGAN CARROLL/SUBMITTED 2016. Come and find us in the cattle barns Carp Community 4-H Beef Club members prepare for the Carp Fair at a meeting at during the Carp Fair to see how our decoAubrie Mowat’s farm. From left are Rachel Devlin, Ashley Wilson, Conner Clarke, rations - and cattle - turned out!

Shelby Wilson (on shoulders), Megan Carroll, Emerald Mantil and Alysa Mowat.

Another item that we checked off the list was practice showmanship. Aubrie was kind enough to let us have the meeting at her farm, and she also gave us a few tips and pointers of how to show to the best of our ability.

Showing cattle isn’t as easy as it looks. For showmanship, the judge is watching you and seeing how well you present yourself. You have to make sure that you are watching the judge at all times in case they tell you to do something.

You also have to be standing with good posture, not slouched or hunched over. As well, you have to hold your show stick straight and tight so that it doesn’t drag on the ground or fall out of your hand.

There are lots of things that showmen have to be careful of, but our club is lucky enough to have an experienced showperson like Aubrie to help us in time for Carp Fair.

This year, Carp Fair runs from Sept. 22 to the 25, so please make sure to come out and come find us!

Weekday Stittsville farmers’ market eyed John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Stittsville may soon have a farmers’ market.

It would be run by the Ottawa Farmers’ Market, which already operates such markets at Lansdowne Park, in Westboro and in Orleans. Each one has its own manager.

This Stittsville farmers’ market, which would probably be located at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street, would

operate weekly on a weekday afternoon or evening during the season.

Sue Bird, who owns the log barn building on Abbott Street adjacent to Village Square Park, has been gathering backing for such a farmers’ market in Stittsville, with already over 300 indicating support for such an initiative.

COUINCILLOR IN SUPPORT

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri is fully supportive of the idea and indeed met recently with representatives from the Ottawa Farmers’

Market and the city of Ottawa to discuss the possibility of a farmers’ market in Stittsville.

It is expected that any such Stittsville farmers’ market would begin next spring at the earliest to allow time for proper preparation and planning and to line up interested vendors.

It is felt that vendors will be most interested in participating in such a Stittsville farmers’ market at Village Square Park because it is along the Trans Canada Trail which is a lure for cyclists and walkers and it is in the heart of Stittsville, adja-

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

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

I want to transfer my house to my son. Do we have to pay Land Transfer Tax on such a transfer?

As long as there is no consideration passing between you and your son, and the transfer is a gift to your son, there is no Land Transfer Tax payable.

What is Land Transfer Tax? Land Transfer Tax is a tax levied by the Ontario government on every transfer of property, subject to some exemptions. The Land Transfer Tax is paid by a person acquiring the property at the time of a transfer.

The amount of the Land Transfer Tax is based on consideration passing between a person disposing of property and a person acquiring it. Therefore virtually all purchases of real estate are subject to Land Transfer Tax. Exemptions to Land Transfer Tax The Land Transfer Tax is not payable when real estate property being transferred is a gift and there is no consideration passing between the parties.

property or the giving of a personal loan by the person disposing of property to the person acquiring it is a form of consideration and therefore such a transfer would be subject to the Land Transfer Tax. Transfer of property between married spouses pursuant to a separation agreement is also exempt from the Land Transfer Tax, regardless of the type and amount of consideration passing between the parties. There are some other exemptions under the Land Transfer Tax Act such as transfers involving trusts, transfers to a charity or transfers to a government organization.

First time home buyer’s rebate First time home buyers may qualify for a Land Transfer Tax rebate of $2,000 if they have never owned a real estate property anywhere in the world. Further, a spouse of a first time home buyer cannot own any real estate at the time of purchase and must have disposed of previously owned property prior to becoming a spouse of a first time home buyer.

The Ottawa Farmers’ Market, which would run this Stittsville farmers’ market, insists on a majority of agricultural vendors, with crafters also allowed. Re-sellers are not allowed.

The Ottawa Farmers’ Market is now looking into what day of the week a Stittsville farmers’ market would operate. It does not want to compete with the existing Carp or Kanata farmers markets.

The Stittsville Village Association is indicating its support for such a Stittsville farmers’ market as well.

Girl Guides of Canada camp a ‘gem’ in West Carleton Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

What’s been visited by a Princess and pops up in a made-for-tv-movie?

It’s West Carleton’s Camp Woolsey, which is 79 years old. The 100 acres of land can be found in the Woodlawn and Crown Point area, tucked away just off Dunrobin Road.

The camp’s beach is on the shores of the Ottawa River across from Mohr’s Landing.

The camp is operated by the Girls Guides of Canada.

“It is our little gem of a camp in Woodlawn,” said Penny Waddington, the acting camping manager. She oversees the Girl Guides of Canada, Ontario Council provincial camping programs.

“Camp Woolsey is just one of five overnight summer camp programs we operated this year and we also ran day camp programs,” explained Waddington. “Camp Woolsey has been running summer day and overnight program for years and provides girls with an amazing outdoor experience.”

Girls don’t even have to be a member of Girls Guide to be part of the camp, noted director Claire Ingraham.

Camp Woolsey had been graced by the presence of royalty. The Ottawa Citizen reported in 1940 that Princess Alice, the Countess of Athlone, had visited the camp and spent two hours there. It was the first time that royalty had visited a Canadian Girl Guide camp.

Princess Alice died in 1981 at 97 years old. She was the last surviving grandchild of

Queen Victoria.

The camp was named Woolsey because the Woolsey family had given the land to the Girl Guides. This is from a recounting of history by some of the camp directors.

One of the lodges was also featured in a made-for-tv-horror-movie ‘The Watch’. Evie Cohen, the administrator for the camp, jokingly says she refuses to watch the movie until she doesn’t work there anymore.

Many of the campers are girls from the Ottawa area, but other have come from Kingston, Toronto and even Pennsylvania.

The days are typically full for campers with going on, usually starting about seven with breakfast. The morning’s activities go from flag-raising to the camp dance.

The girls enjoy a wide variety of opportunities throughout the day.

SENIORS

Connected to your community

Grey wave heralds more seniors programs in Ottawa Whether you call it the Seniors Tsunami, the Grey Wave or the Seniors Surge, there is no doubt that the number of older adults is on a significant rise.

Seniors in Canada are a rapidly growing segment of the population and are living longer and healthier lives than previous generations.

In 2014, over six million Canadians were aged 65 or older. Based on the 2011 Census, there were 116,615 seniors in Ottawa aged 65 and over, representing 13.2 per cent of the population.

A city study estimates that the number of seniors will more than double in the next 15 years, reaching 253,950 by

2031. This means that more than one in five Ottawa residents will be over 65 years old by 2031.

Outside the Greenbelt in western Ottawa, the number of seniors in each ward in 2011 breaks down as follows: • Kanata-South 4,350 • Kanata North 3,790 • Stittsville 2,975 • West Carleton 2,545.

Five years ago the City of Ottawa was proactive in anticipating the growing needs of seniors and produced its Older Adult Action Plan containing 74 concrete actions to address the needs of Ottawa’s older residents.

The plan was organized under eight age-friendly stra-

tegic areas: outdoor spaces and city buildings; transportation; housing; communication and information; social, recreational, and cultural participation; civic participation and volunteering; community supports and health services; and respect and social inclusion.

The plan includes such things as outreach to isolated seniors, more benches in parks, more pedestrian friendly crossing signals, a dental screening program, computer training and many more to make Ottawa a more age friendly city. The options are all there; now it is just a matter of getting involved and participating.

Open house, free breakfast for seniors Friday The Kanata Seniors Centre will open its doors to all area seniors this Friday morning (Sept. 2).

The open house gets underway at 8:30 a.m. and will provide an opportunity for seniors to better appreciate all the activities available at the centre. The open house will include a free pancake breakfast from 8:30 to 10 a.m.

At the same time and continuing until 11 a.m. will be displays

and demonstrations by the various clubs, organizations and activities available at the seniors centre.

It is a great opportunity to bring friends to taste some of ‘senior culture’. This is a chance to: – play or learn how to play Scrabble, bridge, euchre, dominoes, mah jong; – check out computers; – try out carpet bowling; – join in knitting/crocheting;

– sign up for a travel tour; – play snooker; – find out more about snooker or darts; – join a discussion group; – find out about investment clubs; – check out the camera club; – find out about the choral group; – chat with the Seniors Council; – or just have a coffee.

Dandelion wine was just a fact of life at Mary’s house in Northcote We had been picking dandelion greens for days. We had to be careful to just take the leaves, letting the roots stay anchored.

That was so they would regrow. And only the most tender part of the plants, the new leafs, making it easier for Father to cull through them, picking out only what he considered perfect for the job at hand.

Eventually, the shelves in the cellar would have bottles of dandelion wine sitting right next to Mother’s cucumber pickles and raspberry preserves.

And if it wasn’t for Uncle Herby bringing bottles from Bronfman’s Distillery where he worked in Montreal (sometimes full of what was brewed there, and sometimes just empty bottles for Father), he would have had to use any jars Mother hadn’t already put down on the shelf in the cellar.

So by the time the wine was bottled, you wouldn’t know if it had been made in our kitchen out at Northcote, or bought from a real store, if there was such a place.

Certainly, I never knew Father to come home with a bottle of liqueur for which he would have to spend hard earned money!

Dandelion wine, and homemade beer were just a fact of life at our house in Northcote.

We put the newly picked leaves in one of Mother’s clothes hampers, and it would take Father a whole evening, to take each one

out, examine it, and finding it suitable, put it in a big crock. He layered the leaves as if they were tiny pieces of paper until the crock was almost full. We had a lot of dandelions on the farm!

Then he would take the big preserving kettle, which had been simmering away on the Findlay Oval, and cover the leaves with the boiling water.

Some would float to the top, so Father would anchor them with a dinner place with a well scrubbed flat iron on top to hold everything down.

Then the crock was moved to the bake table, where it sat for a few days, sending musty smells through the whole house, which I hated.

Father never once looked in the crock while the leaves were slowly fermenting.

“Don’t want to disturb them,” he’d say.

And then after he figured they had been

40 West Carleton Review - Thursday, September 1, 2016

sitting there long enough, he scrubbed his hands until they were red (Mother saw to that), then squeezed hands full of the leaves until they were almost dry, piled them on a tray, emptied the water out of the crock, and dumped the mess into the largest cooking pot Mother had in the house.

The pot was put on the stove, and I have no idea where the moisture came from, but within minutes you could hear the soggy dandelions simmering.

Three oranges and a lemon would have been sitting on the bake table for days, an extravagance reserved only for winemaking.

Father cut them into thin slices and added them to the simmering pot, with a few good dashes of ginger out of a Rawleigh’s tin from the cupboard. I could see Mother flinch as Father dumped a brown paper bag of sugar into the pot too.

Then Father would go to his rocking chair, light his pipe, open the Ottawa Farm Journal, and wait.

Finally, the pot was hauled to the bake table, and let cool right down until Father could add some yeast, which was bought to make bread and sticky buns. I knew Mother wasn’t at all pleased at all the money that went into Father’s dandelion wine.

And there the crock would sit for days, while it fermented to Father’s liking. Often

he would take a spoon, dip it into the crock and say, “By gar, that’s good let me tell you.”

Finally, after what Mother said the whole house smelled like a brewery, Father strained it, bottled it, and it would be moved to the cellar.

All the time Father was making his wine, I would wonder if there would be a repeat performance of the two times never to be forgotten over the dandelion wine.

Once, just sitting in the kitchen one night, minding our own business, we heard what sounded like gunfire coming from the depths of the house. Father knew immediately what had happened, and rushed outside and down into the cellar to retrieve the few bottles that hadn’t blown to bits.

The other time, my brother Emerson decided to sneak a few sips, which turned into downing almost a whole bottle. Mother didn’t raise a hand to help him over his hangover and said she just knew he was going to turn into a complete alcoholic just like his Uncle Orville, but Father said, “That’ll make him into a man,” whatever that meant.

Latest provincial testing indicates student literacy rates not improving

Tools 4 Schools

Almost 20 per cent (23,745) of Ontario’s Grade 10 students were unsuccessful on the provincial literacy test this year.

The results show that continued attention should be given to programs that support students with special education needs, says Ontario’s Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO).

The EQAP published the results last week from the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT), written by about 125,000 Grade 10 students in March. It shows 81 per cent of Ontario’s Grade 10 students who participated fully on the OSSLT were successful on their first try.

Over the previous four years, the overall success rate on the OSSLT varied between 82 and 83 per cent. Just over 50 per cent of all students with special

education needs were successful on the test in 2016 - a similar success rate to those in past years. Of students with special education needs who were enrolled in the applied English course, 40 per cent met the literacy expectations assessed by the test in Grade 10.

Of the 21,952 students who were identified as having special education needs, 11,526 (53%) were successful on the test on their first try and 10,426 (47%) were unsuccessful.

By comparison, of the 7,998 students with special education needs enrolled in the academic English course, 6,616 (83%) were successful and 1,382 (17%) were unsuccessful.

“Considering the size and diversity of Ontario’s student population, more than eight out of 10 students consistently meeting the literacy standard

on their first try is a fairly positive outcome for the publicly funded education system,” said EQAO chair Dave Cooke.

“This shouldn’t cause anyone to rest on their laurels though. There’s certainly room for improvement, and our students deserve no less.”

“This year’s OSSLT results once again show that students with special education needs require specific attention and ongoing support for their literacy development,” said EQAO CEO Bruce Rodrigues.

“It’s important for schools, boards and the Ministry of Education to look at the effectiveness of the programs and assistance they are putting in place to support students with special education needs.”

Individual school and board reports for the literacy test will be released on Sept. 21.

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Don’t be impatient: be safe around school buses With a new school year quickly approaching, the Canada Safety Council is reminding drivers to be extra cautious as school buses return to the roads.

Despite it being an annual occurrence, the return of school buses often brings about episodes of impatience, confusion regarding some of the rules of the road and a spike in fatalities and injuries among young pedestrians from September to November.

With this context in mind, here are a few tips to ensure everyone, from the littlest bus rider to the driver getting them to school, is staying safe on the roads: • Leave yourself a bit of extra time to get wherever you’re going. Being in a rush is no excuse for disobeying the rules of the road and endangering the lives of others.

• When a bus has its arm ex-

tended and flashing lights, stop.

It’s the law. Do not proceed until the lights are turned off, as there may still be children coming or attempting to cross the street. In most cases, traffic in both directions must stop unless separated by a median.

• Slow down in school zones.

Be vigilant and careful in residential areas where children are present as well. Moving slowly and predictably can help children feel more at ease and make them less likely to try and rush.

• Avoid doing manoeuvres like three-point turns and U-turns in school zones. Children are often unfamiliar or simply not expecting these, which can cause them to be in the wrong place at the wrong time as a result.

• Always obey crossing guards and signage, especially as it relates to pedestrians and school zones.

• Give cyclists a wide berth.

Many jurisdictions require a minimum distance of one metre.

Additionally, shoulder check before opening your door to ensure you don’t accidentally open it in a cyclist’s path.

• If you’re able, choose public transportation or an active form of transportation. If you’re in a position to leave the car at home, the roads are made that much more safer for its more vulnerable users.

Additionally, for parents driving their children to school, be sure to never let your child out of the car when they’ll be getting off into traffic. Make sure they’re stepping out onto a sidewalk or away from the flow of traffic.

Also, consider driving a block or so away from the school and walking with your child, in order to reduce congestion around the school area.

This will also make the bus drivers’ jobs a bit easier.

The Canada Safety Council wishes everyone a happy fall and an eventless return to school.

“Let’s all do our part to keep the roads safe for everyone.”

Students: how to save energy, money Students starting university and college may have graduated high school, but they may not have received an education in energy efficiency.

Hydro One has a quick, 10-step lesson to help students keep electricity costs down for the upcoming school year.

When researching an apartment or house to rent, find out if your electricity bill is included in your rent or if you are billed separately.

Study the time-of-use schedule and use high electricity-use appliances like the dishwasher, space heater, stove and dryer during off-peak hours as much as possible.

Regularly review your electricity usage by setting up an online account at www.HydroOne.com/MyAccount to track your electricity consumption by the hour.

When you leave for class, make sure all unnecessary lights are turned off After pulling an all-night cram session, turn off your computer and laptop.

Remember science class? Electricity is drawn from household gadgets, electronic devices and appliances even

when not in use. Plug appliances and equipment that are not used constantly into a power bar with an off switch for an easy and quick way to turn them all off.

In the winter, keep doors and windows closed, hang thick-lined curtains to keep the heat in and install weather stripping around the doors to get an A+.

Get additional credit for limiting your use of air conditioning.

Keep your home or apartment cool in the summer by opening windows at night when it is cooler and closing blinds during the day to keep the heat out. Consider using a fan to cool down, especially during peak hours.

Air conditioning can use up a lot of electricity.

Study your taps to ensure that you have no leaks. Ensure that you have your landlord fix any leaking taps to avoid sending extra money down the drain.

Experiment by washing your clothes in cold water, during off-peak hours to keep costs low. Dryers also consume a lot of electricity so hang dry your laundry to save on your bill.

Students can progress through the Academy from 5 through to 18 without ever repeating a lesson.

Following are a few of the things students can expect from the program. All classes are one hour in length. Each class will work on an end-of-year production.

The drama program caters to three age groups: Lower Primary Classes (5-8 years) - Highly active lessons, using a wide range of creative activities such as speech, dance drama, movement, improvisation, snippets and scene starters, to develop children’s skills to be participants in all aspects of their lives. Through this, students are encouraged to ask questions,

seek answers and share information with others. Dress-up days, along with the use of props and make-up, add an extra dimension and excitement to the “fast-paced, exhilarating classes.”

Upper Primary Classes (9-11 years) - Students are given many opportunities to act out a great variety of situations in a fun-filled atmosphere.

They are encouraged to quickly learn how to accept new challenges, and explore new directions. All these aspects enrich the lives of students and contribute to their personal growth as they learn to take on and enact convincing characters, sustain believable plots and express themselves appropriately and confidently.

Youth Theatre (12- 17 years) – The Youth Theatre covers a dynamic and comprehensive theatrearts program. It attracts a wide range of young people, from those seeking to increase their confidence and speaking ability, to those hoping to pursue acting as a career.

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION

More back-to-school aid needed Kanata Food Cupboard helping 200 students with school supplies

Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Demand for school supplies from the Kanata Food Cupboard has grown this year and the non-profit organization is seeking donations before students head back to class.

More than 200 students – from kindergarten to post-secondary – are requesting supplies, up from 180 the previous year.

And that number can rise as the food cupboard is accepting applications for assistance until next week when the supplies will be delivered, said food cupboard co-ordinator Karen Waters. “Our numbers are not going down,� she said. “The demand is higher so far than last year. We’re still getting people coming in.�

Volunteers began to pack school bags with supplies on Aug. 22. Donations have been steady, Waters said, but there are certain items the food cupboard is short on.

Supplies needed include pencils, pencil crayons, markers, combination locks, glue sticks, erasers, backpacks, insulated lunch bags and page dividers. “We’re in not too bad shape, which is not a bad place to be in.

But we’re still in need,� said Waters. “Forms are still coming in.�

About 85 families have requested assistance from the food cupboard so far this year, with a total of 206 students in need of school supplies.

Last year those numbers were 81

families, for a total of 182 students. “I think it’s all around just the cost of living – it’s just crazy,� said Waters on why the demand keeps climbing. “It’s a hell of an extra expense. “I remember when my kids went to school, that was a while ago, and calculating what I spent for two kids. I was out $500.

It’s just crazy. And if you don’t have that (money), how do you do it?�

Students attending high school, college or university are the largest demographic requesting supplies. Of those in need: • 58 students in high school or post secondary.

Of that total, 12 are adults going back to school. • 22 students in grades 7 and 8.

• 52 students in grades 4 to 6. • 46 students in grades 1 to 3. • 28 students in junior or senior kindergarten. “Our community has been very generous,â€? said Waters. “We couldn’t do this, all of this, without them. They’re pretty amazing. They always seem to come help us out when we ask for help.â€?

Donations can be dropped off in the Kanata Food Cupboard’s bins at a number of local grocery stores or at its warehouse location, 340 Legget Dr., Mondays to Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon.

For more, visit kanatafoodcupboard.ca, email coord@kanatafoodcupboard.ca or call 613-3559834.

Five tips to help students prepare for school Sally Rogers

Higher Ground Tutoring Services

Here are some suggestions to starting the year off right and setting your child up for success.

1. Use breaks as opportunities to change the structure of learning -- the best learning takes place in real life environments. Parents, you are your child’s primary teacher.

Find ways to include your children in decisions involving your finances and family affairs as appropriate.

2. Develop relationships with teachers immediately. Discuss ways to ensure

open and continuous communication - communication notebook, regular phone calls, agendas, etc.

3. Become familiar with curriculum expectations so you can support your child’s learning. - available at www. edu.gov.on.ca. Ask teachers about their long range plans so you know what’s coming up in advance.  4. Practice good study habits. Review learning every day; don’t wait for tests or assignments; supplement with material from the Internet or library books. Get ahead rather than just maintain. Ask questions and find

answers. Limit electronics and TV in favor of better brain stimulating activities - read print books, play outside, talk to real people, play board games or sports.  5. If your child has special needs, you will be the best advocate. Read everything you can and find support groups or other additional help.  Sally Rogers is the owner and director of Higher Ground Tutoring Services in Arnprior. She has been teaching children and adults since 2002, and has a passion especially for children with special needs.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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 A playful and generous spirit make you a favorite friend to have around, Aries. Many may be clamoring for your attention, and you do not know where to direct it first.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, uncertainty has you wondering about the direction in which your life may be going. It’s a time for reflection. Look to a parent or trusted advisor for guidance.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Romance may get in the way of logic this week, Gemini. This is sure to be exciting, but try to maintain your focus. Keep lines of communication with your significant other open.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, do your best to overhaul your finances. Some recent purchases might have made you vulnerable, and now is a great time to regain control.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a sudden burst of creativity will inspire you and others in the days ahead. Keep up the great work you’re doing, and don’t be afraid to take chances.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You are given to behaving selflessly, Virgo. But this week you can still help others and take your needs into consideration. Ask for help if you need it.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, resist the urge to overindulge in food or beverages this week.

Good times are ahead and you want to be able to enjoy them to the fullest.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you’re focused on furthering your career, but responsibilities at home must be weighed before making a final decision. Don’t give up; just reevaluate your timing.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, rather than dreaming of faraway places, make a plan to travel.

Establish a savings account or vacation fund and begin making your travel goals happen.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, gifts might start coming your way and you don’t understand all the generosity. Accept what is offered and recognize that you deserve it.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It’s easy to expect others to keep your pace when you have all of your ducks in a row, Aquarius. However, not everyone works on the same schedule that you do. Allow time to catch up.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, promising more than you can possibly deliver at this time will not win you any admirers. Others will appreciate your honesty.
