Olympic experience ‘amazing’ for Dunrobin’s Cameron Smedley Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

“At what point do you call yourself an Olympian?” said West Carleton’s Cameron Smedley.

“Is it after you competed or once you are at the games?”

The question came to him when he was at the opening ceremonies of the summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

The determination was never made when he was there, but now that he is home, the label of him being an Olympian has begun to settle in.

“I [think] I was shocked I was actually at the games,” Smedley said. “Going around and meeting other amazing athletes, listening to their stories and being alongside them.”

Smedley was expecting to go to the London Olympic Games in 2012, but the International Canoe Federation executive committee decided to interpret the Olympic qualification rules in a different way than expected, which meant his bid to become an Olympian

four years ago was dashed.

But that didn’t deter him, and the world class canoeist realized his dream this year.

When the Olympics began on Aug. 5, Smedley was there to walk in with the Canadian athletes in the opening ceremony.

“It was amazing, how many people [the stadium] holds,” he said. “It was massive, walking across the centre was absolutely surreal.

It was just an amazing feeling and experience.”

Smedley didn’t have long to wait for his men’s canoe single (C1) slalom event.

The heats started on Aug. 7 at the Whitewater Stadium.

There were two runs with the best time taken into account.

Smedley wrapped with a time of 104.83 seconds and a 15th-place finish, which ended his Olympic run. He missed out on the semifinal by a margin of 2.05 seconds.

Smedley had been down to Rio numerous times to practice.

Measles cases investigated Students who have come in contact with three measles cases reported in the Ottawa area may be told to stay away from school from up to three weeks, says Ottawa Public Health (OPH).

OPH and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit reported this week they are investigating three related cases of measles in unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated individuals who have not received all of their required measles vaccines.

The health units are working closely with local health care providers, hospitals, and the province to contact individuals and families who may have been exposed to the infectious cases.

The risk of contracting measles in Ottawa and Lanark County is low for those who have been vaccinated, say the health units.

However, given that measles is highly contagious, “it is very important that you ensure your measles immunization is up-to-date” and remember to report to public health every time your child is vaccinated, they stress.

It is possible that members of the public were exposed to measles in Ottawa or Carleton Place. People who have not previously had measles or have not been fully vaccinated and who might have been exposed in these areas are asked to: • watch for any signs and symptoms of measles; • Avoid contact with individuals who are at high risk for complications of measles (infants less than 12 months of age, pregnant women, and people with weak immune sys-

tems) for 21 days after exposure date.

The possible exposure locations and dates/ times are: • The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, 401 Smyth Rd. Emergency Room from 2 p.m. Aug. 22 to 2:30 a.m. Aug. 23; Inpatient Ward 4 East from 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Aug. 23 and 8 a.m. Aug. 25 to 8 p.m.

Aug. 28; • The Ottawa Hospital (General Campus), 501 Smyth Rd. Emergency Room from noon Aug. 23 to 1 a.m. Aug. 24 and Module G from 9 a.m. to noon Aug. 26; • Carleton Place Hospital, 211 Lake Ave. East from 8:30 a.m. to noon Sept. 1; • Carlingwood Shopping Centre, 2121 Carling Ave. from 1 to 6 p.m. Aug. 31; • Kanata Superstore, 760 Eagleson Rd. 6:30-9:30 p.m. Aug. 31; • Lone Star Restaurant, 4048 Carling Ave., Kanata 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 31, If you think you may have been in contact, call the Ottawa Public Health at 613580-6744 or the Leeds Grenville Lanark Public Health at 613-345-5685.

Early symptoms of measles may include fever, cough, and tiny white spots in the mouth. Within three to seven days, a red blotchy rash will appear, first on the face and then spreading to the body, arms and legs.

If you think that you or a family member has measles, contact a health care provider immediately.

For more information about about measles and immunizations, visit OttawaPublicHealth.ca or call 613-580-6744.

Missing sailor’s body retrieved from Ottawa River in Quebec John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

The body of a missing sailor has been found in the Ottawa River.

The Ottawa Police Service confirmed Wednesday that Stephen Cozzette, 57, was found dead.

No foul play is suspected, report police.

Cozzette was last seen on his boat at about 1 p.m. on in the area of Constance Bay on the Ottawa River.

He was on a two-day sail with a group

going from the Nepean Sailing Club to Quyon. An investigation began when Cozzette’s 35-ft. yacht, the Elmo Earleywine, was found run aground on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River.

The Ottawa police and the MRC des Collines Police Service in Quebec began a search, asking for the public’s assistance in finding him.

A police dive team supported by a helicopter took part in the search. Cozzette’s body was found in the river in the Luskville area.

MP to host another town hall A town hall meeting held by KanataCarleton MP Karen McCrimmon in June helped identify improved bicycle paths as a major issue.

As a result, federal funding has been allocated toward bicycle paths in the riding (see Page 34).

That indicates the importance of speaking up at town hall meetings.

The next opportunity will come around on Wednesday, Sept. 14.

McCrimmon is hosting the latest in her series of town hall meetings from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Eva James Community Centre in Kanata.

The MP says there will be no specific theme for this meeting, “so all topics are open for discussion.”

Cameron Smedley practices prior to the Rio Olympics.

Smedley reflects on Olympics Continued from front

Smedley thought he was comfortable and confident and keen on racing. The course may have been difficult, but he did not find it daunting.

“I wasn’t trying to go in with too much expectation,” he said. “There was definitely an internal sort of bar that I wanted to hit, but I wasn’t quite happy with what I achieved. I kind of knew I could have performed much better than what I did.”

Smedley had a bit of a mishap the day before, when his back went into spasms. He and his mother, Sherri, who is a physiotherapist worked frantically to get it back to full power.

“We did the best we could but (it) wasn’t quite what I normally have,” he said. “It’s not something to dwell on ... try to race and not worry about that being a limitation.”

Despite his disappointment, Smedley was set on enjoying his Olympic experience. He

stayed until the closing ceremony on Aug. 21, taking in both the games and the city.

“We had seen some of the major spots ahead of time, so it was not too much of a distraction.

We checked out new places, exploring the beaches and watched diving, sprint kayaking as well. The BMX was right next to our venue so we watched it too.”

Currently, Smedley is in a break mode from his canoe with preparations to return to school and finish his last couple of semesters at Carleton University in mechanical engineering.

“It’s kind of hard to stay away from the river,” he laughed.

As for the Olympics, it will be moments like walking into the Olympic Village for the first time and checking out the different venues that will stay with him.

“It was definitely a new take-it-all-in experience.”

Dunrobin’s community port-a-pottie stolen Someone must have been desperate.

The Dunrobin Community Association has sent out a public appeal for help in finding its missing port-a-pottie.

The association reports that sometime from Aug. 10 to 17, its portable toilet station was taken from the Dunrobin Com-

munity Centre. If not found or returned, this stolen unit is going to cost the community $1,000 to replace, says the association.

Anyone with any information about the theft is asked to email info@dunrobincommunity.com or contact any of the association’s directors.

Garden Club speaker to talk about role of pollinators Consider him the bug whisperer.

Much like The Horse Whisperer popularized in book and film, Almonte’s Dr. James Coupland has an affinity for insects, especially bees.

“I used to be able to pick up a bee with my fingers and not get stung,” says the entomologist and beekeeper, who has been collecting bugs since he was two. He even loves black flies, although he admits he’d prefer they not bite.

He turned his passion into a thriving career studying insects, with a research facility in Almonte and as an indemand consultant for the United Nations around the world.

Heard of the Zika virus that made headlines in advance of the Olympics in Brazil? Coupland has worked on abatement strategies to combat it.

A strong advocate of pollination, conservation and the value of ecosystems, he’ll bring a talk about the importance of pollinators

and their decline to the next monthly meeting of the West Carleton Garden Club on Tuesday, Sept. 13. Pollinators, which are critical to plant reproduction, are “a huge part” of the value of nature, he says. And even individual gardeners can have a big impact in solving the problem of habitat loss and the effect of insecticides.

“Just think about lawns – lawns are desert,” he says.

“Home gardens are a really important aspect of wild pollinator diversity.”

The diversity of the flowers we plant maintains a diversity of pollinators, he continues.

Coupland’s talk will start with a big picture look at how we approach nature and how we value it before getting into pollinators and the impact of things like insecticides.

His company – FarmForest Research – develops sustainable pest control products for big companies that are pollinator-safe.

Born and raised in Almonte, Coupland spent

Thieves, vandals target public piano, legion, nature trails Jessica Cunha

centre for anyone who needs support in the community.

By attacking the centre, the perpetrators were targeting the most vulnerable in society.

Earlier in the week, two volunteers from the Macnamara Field Naturalists found bird feeders along the popular Macnamara trails on the east side of Arnprior had been destroyed.As well, vandals had knocked down some of the big rocks making up the historic limestone kiln by the MacLachlin Lumber Company in the 1860s, now situated along the trail. The trail is maintained by volunteers, so the thoughtless acts again prompted public outrage.

With files from John Carter

Jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The music hasn’t died at Walter Baker Park despite vandals ripping apart a public piano and smashing its wooden bench in the Kanata park’s gazebo last week.

It was one of several mean-spirited incidents that occurred both west and east of West Carleton in late August.

In Arnprior insensitive acts by vandals and thieves have angered the public because the victims include such community service organizations as the Arnprior Legion, Neighbourhood Fountain and the Macnamara Field Naturalists.

As well, local businesses and car owners continue to be targeted by thieves in a summer that has seen a series of mostly petty crime.

The piano vandalism in Kanata likely happened sometime between Aug. 24 and 25, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, adding city staff are checking over security camera footage.

“They didn’t do this for personal gain,” said Hubley. “They came out here and trashed it. That’s very disturbing.

“It’s troubling someone would do something like that.”

Someone had put the piano back together by Aug. 26. The interior of the piano didn’t seem to be damaged and the keys played their notes, but the bench remained in a pile of splintered wood.

Children still flocked to the instrument, banging out notes and giggling to each other at the noise.

The piano has been very popular – with people of all ages and musical abilities – since it was installed last summer, said Hubley.

The public piano at Walter Baker Park in Kanata was damaged sometime between Aug. 24 and 25.

He said it would be a real loss to the community to see it removed for good.

“Taxpayers can’t pay to fix these things; once they’re damaged they’re gone,” he said.

A repair crew had been called to assess the damage and determine if the piano could remain in the park.

A park bench further down the pathway that runs around the gazebo had also been knocked askew, bent far back on its legs.

Meanwhile, in Arnprior, the OPP are investigating several incidents, including two overnight break-ins on Aug. 30-31, one at the Arnprior Legion. When OPP officers responded to an alarm at the Legion, they found a door forced open, a safe damaged and cash stolen.

What makes the theft particularly galling is that the money raised at the Legion goes toward helping veterans and their families.

The OPP is asking anyone with information on the break-and-enters to call them at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Meanwhile, the Neighbourlink Fountain on Mary Street in Arnprior reported someone used crowbars on its doors Aug. 24 in an attempt to find something to steal in various areas of the facility.

While there are no valuables nor money kept in the building to steal, the culprits did cause substantial damage.

Again the public response was anger as the churches-sponsored Neighbourlink Fountain is a drop-in

OPINION

Connected to your community

The real new year for students New Year’s Day may be Jan. 1, but for kids over a certain age and their parents, their real new year’s day is now.

Yes, it’s back to school time across the city.

Most French language schools welcomed students back to class the last week of August and English language schools started this week.

And with the return to school – and thousands of students on the streets near schools and school buses back on our roads – once again police are reminding all of us to keep our eyes open as we go about our business in our vehicles, and that school zone speed limits are now in full force and the flashing lights of a school bus mean STOP. You’d think that people wouldn’t have to be reminded not to go speeding through a school zone, that those flashing lights on a school bus mean you must stop and that drivers need to be vigilant in watching for youngsters out and about near schools on school days, but some people need to be reminded anyway.

And with new some new schools opening up this year in fast growing areas of the city, there

are some places where drivers may not be used to being in a school zone, which is yet another reason to be extra careful.

That need for drivers to know where they are and be extra vigilant near schools was illuminated recently when a new signalized pedestrian crossing – called a PXO – was unveiled on Aug. 29 on Renaud Road; the day before students went back to school at Notre-DameDes-Champs elementary school.

At the opening, as several neighbourhood students and the school principal crossed the road, several cars and trucks sped through the crossing despite flashing lights signalling them to stop.

If that kind of driver behaviour continues it is only a matter of time before a tragedy occurs. And no one wants that to happen.

So let’s all keep in mind that it is back to school time, and the excitement of the rush back to school is on.

And for all the students out there, whether you want to hear this or not —happy new year to you!

Everyone seems to be an expert on schools So they’re back in school this week. Now we, the grownups can start paying attention to education again, which isn’t always good news for the kids.

Grownups, having gone to school themselves many years ago, are all experts on it. Regardless of what decade we were in class, that decade was the best and this decade suffers by comparison. Teachers were strict, the curriculum was better and there wasn’t all that modern fiddlefaddle about this and that. Or so people say.

Grandparents may be the worst. We learned to spell, we learned our times tables, we memorized the names of all the queens and kings, we diagrammed sentences and we got our sex education the traditional way, from what some older kid said out in the schoolyard.

It’s odd that there should be this gap between what schools do and what we think they should be doing because there has never been a time when parents were more involved in their children’s schools, never been a time when there was more communication between teacher and parent.

whole process remains a mystery.

Maybe that’s a good thing. If parents understood more, they’d meddle more.

Not that they don’t try. Ask any teacher. Ask any principal.

But the schools have managed to keep their defences strong, built their walls high.

The impenetrability of the school fortress is manifest in its ability to keep parents completely in the dark as to what’s going on in there.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the report cards the children bring home, in which their progress is described in boiler-plate phrases that may or may not indicate the child is doing well, may or may not indicate that the child is failing miserably.

It’s likely that a lot of parents don’t ask for clarification, fearing the worst.

So they become active in other ways, carefully scrutinizing the playground equipment for hitherto unrecognized dangers to life and limb, keeping an eye out for offensive reading material in the school library, scanning population trends to make sure that when schools have to close they are somewhere else.

The parents are also raising money however they can to finance the equipment schools used to get as a matter of course.

Meanwhile, lurking out in the population are politicians quarrelling with the curriculum, journalists and academics offering helpful suggestions, trustees and would-be trustees promising to cut the alleged fat from school budgets.

Amazingly, given all the turmoil their parents go through, given all the obstacles put in the way of teachers and administrators, the kids come home pretty happy every day.

The family that you choose Sometimes you get to choose your family members.

That honorary aunt or uncle may not be related to you by blood, but they are there for you when you need someone one-step-removed from family to confide in. They know you like family, but the other complications aren’t there.

They aren’t as likely to flip out if you tell them something shocking – that distance allows them to just take it all in stride and give you wise, objective advice.

Colette was that person for me. She didn’t have children of her own and her beloved husband had passed away, so she was always very interested in what was going on in our lives.

Colette was my grandmother’s best friend over the last 20 years or so. Maybe 30. She was part of all our family celebrations and gatherings, and we loved her like family.

Colette had been suffering with a bad back that wouldn’t heal, in recent months.

She didn’t make it to our last few gatherings, and that wasn’t like her.

She lost her footing a few days ago and fell. She never did wake up. The doctors discovered she was also full of cancer. It was in her bones.

That explains why she didn’t get better and the pain never went away. The pain is gone now.

For as long as I can remember, Colette has been the life of the party. She would laugh loudly and raucously, over Dad’s dirty jokes, especially if he mixed her a drink that was a bit too stiff. She was also very fond of my long-legged, handsome husband, because he reminded her of her man, whom she had lost when they were still very much in love.

She asked about and remembered every detail of my daughters’ lives, and was as thrilled about the new grandbaby as the rest of us.

I like to imagine her somewhere now, resting painlessly, her best self, maybe dancing, with her beloved Garnet. Or maybe she is enjoying cocktail hour with my Dad. It is his 75th birthday, after all.

When Dad was sick, in 2007, he told me he dreamed of a place where people were dancing.

The men could dance as well as the women – they were doing the jive. There were lots of colourful, gleaming sports cars parked outside, and dozens of dogs running around.

I told him it sounded like his perfect Heaven.

Colette and I never had a similar conversation, but if I had to guess, her Heaven would be full of tall, handsome men (the ability to dance would be ideal), fine, beautiful things like gold jewelry, crystal and flowers, and maybe a horse or a dog or two.

No cats. Colette was terrified of cats, which I discovered when she was at the farm one day and a bold barn cat chose to rub up against her leg. (Why do they always go for the people who don’t like them?)

We will miss Colette and her sage advice, her raunchy sense of humour and her zest for life.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we will likely fill the house again with about 40 people, but there is a trend happening. The elderly members of our tribe are leaving us slowly, and the younger ones are coming up to fill the places at the table with their chosen mates and friends.

This year we have a new addition, as it is Leti’s first Thanksgiving. She will be 10 months old and ready to try some of the traditional feast. Hopefully she will also have a tooth or two by then, to help her eat it.

FAMILY JUST THE SAME

Also at our table will be three or four people not related by blood, but part of the family just the same. They are part of our group because we love and care for them and we want to celebrate life with them at this traditional time of year.

And gathered around us, the silent guests at every family dinner. Because they haven’t really left us. They’ve just gone on ahead.

We keep them with us through our stories and memories and toasts, delivered teary-eyed, with glasses held high.

On the subject of Thanksgiving, if you too are hosting a large group, consider serving them a farm-raised turkey. Ours start at about 25 lb. each.

The Kemptville Farmer’s Market will be open until Thanksgiving as well, featuring the bounty of many local farms and gardens. www.dianafisherbooks.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

OPINION

Connected to your community

What does it take to make Valley-ites shake their booty?

To the Editor: As avid dancers who retired to White Lake, my husband and I were interested in opportunities to dance in Arnprior or nearby towns to avoid the drive to Ottawa where there is an active dance scene.

It quickly became obvious to us that along with some amazing fiddling - step dancing was a big thing locally.

Square and round dancing classes for couples could be found in Carleton Place, and line dancing and Zumba lessons (both preferred by ladies) are offered in some Valley towns. There are also two dance studios in Arnprior and in Pembroke that offer a range of dance lessons to both youngsters and adults. We, too, as dance aficionados, offer partner basic lessons.

One can dance at legions, other halls, stag and does, and wedding receptions. There are also social dances held occasionally, such as Cobden, and Horton Township’s monthly fall-through-spring Friday night dances (which also include some square dancing), or charity fundraising dances at the Nick Smith Centre and some church halls.

For example, when the Sting Rays band hits town, the dance floor’s guaranteed to be full.

There are many opportunities, so what’s my point?

SUBMITTED

Dance instructors Wendy and Dennis Tessier are wondering if social dance has a future in the Upper Ottawa Valley. They hope so.

We’ve noticed that at most of the dances we’ve attended - and yes, we do crash stag and does - the dancers out on the floor are predominately of the boomer generation.

The millennials do not seem to know how to dance beyond the old ‘hang and hug belly-

rubbers’.

We’re often disappointed and concerned when we watch young women get up, hanging onto their drinks, often sloshing them on the dance floor as it’s safer than leaving them unattended at the tables where, heaven for-

bid, some lout might lace one’s drink with a roofie (Rohypnol, aka the date-rape drug).

The young men tend to hover together, drink in hand, watching the girls. Occasionally one might muster up the courage to ask for a dance. Sometimes entire mixed groups will do a kind of group boogaloo.

If you’re really into dancing though, the sticky drink puddles and residue on the floors is a big deterrent. Surely there’s a better way?

It begs the question: is social dancing going the way of the Dodo bird?

In other parts of the world, line dancing for both men and women continues to be a very popular thing. For instance, many bars in the States offer line and country/western partner dances that are well-attended by young people in their requisite jeans/cowboy boots/hats ‘uniform’; were that it was the same case here!

Fred Astaire and Arthur Murray studios teaching social dances still abound, but the names alone indicate you’d need to be a boomer to even know who those men were.

And the classes can be expensive after they get you started.

Hip hop is popular now amongst the youngsters, but what will they be dancing in their 50s and beyond?

Rewards of dancing include exercise, relationship-building Continued from Page 12

As ladies know, there is nothing more pleasurable than watching a man dance or dancing with him, so you’d think men would be motivated to learn since it’s a great way to meet and attract the opposite sex, yet we suspect men’s lack of interest plays a role in social dance’s decline.

TV shows such as Dancing With the Stars, and So You Think You Can Dance would indicate there is still much interest amongst the younger generation, so perhaps the question should be rephrased: are your parent’s and grandparent’s dances passé, out of style, oldfashioned?

As dancers, we know the music of today, be it country or modern, still comprises latin and social beats; think cha cha, rumba, foxtrot, waltz and jive.

Polka is still a thriving thing, we hope, with those of Kashub descent in Wilno and Killaloe, and surrounds.

But is it only folks of a ‘certain age” doing these dances? Is there hope for our children and children’s children to enjoy the pleasures that dancing together brings?

I don’t know if social dance is still taught in grade and high schools, but if not, we’re willing to volunteer teach.

Why not have girls and boys learn how to ask, accept and dance some basic steps to-

It’s a skill one can start at any age and use one’s entire lifetime. It bridges generations.

Some people sign up to be able to perform a nice dance at their weddings, but will it lead to a lifelong love of dance?

To the young people in the area, we’d like nothing better than you prove us wrong about the future of social dance.

Under Nick Smith Centre’s sponsorship, we have offered a free dance class recently with dances suitable to partners of any age, so time will tell whether Arnprior responds, but naturally we hope not to be disappointed.

Predictions for what could be a difficult Fall for wildlife With a blink of an eye summer has slipped by.

Bird nests are now nothing more than empty egg cartons and their makers have fallen mute and will remain silent until next spring. Overhead, while a million stars burn brightly against the black curtain of moonless nights, peeps and cheeps tell us that warblers and thrushes are winging their way south.

The severe drought that held much of southern Ontario hostage this summer will likely have ramifications extending well beyond this year. Areas with shallow soil were particularly hard hit.

While deciduous trees that turned colour prematurely or dropped their leaves will likely recover next year, Eastern White Cedars that turned brown are undoubtedly lost.

Other plants either failed to produce fruit or produced lower than normal amounts.

In many areas, raspberries, Blackberries, Elderberries, and Pin and Choke Cherries are devoid of fruit. This will likely have serious consequences for Black Bears because these animals fatten for winter by devouring carbohydrate-rich foods. While lean bears might survive the winter, especially if temperatures are favourable, they’ll have a difficult time next spring.

After leaving their dens in April, bears are confronted with a paucity of food for many weeks, and during this time their fat provides much of the nutrition that keeps them alive.

Many White Spruce and White Pines

failed to produce cones this summer. While a lack of conifer seeds may not affect bears, it does determine what types of birds will be present this winter.

Red and Wh i t e - w i n g e d crossbills are major consumers of pine and spruce seeds, respectively.

Thus, these fascinating birds with their odd, name-giving bills could well be absent from local woods this winter.

The lack of cones might also be bad news for Red Squirrels. These vociferous rodents stash piles of cones under logs and tree roots, and these stores are dug up and consumed in winter. Only the seeds housed inside the cones are eaten, and a pile of scales on top of snow is a sure sign that a Red Squirrel has eaten well.

A paucity of cones could affect the winter survival of these squirrels, which also store mushrooms after drying them on tree limbs.

But not all trees and shrubs are devoid of fruit. Bumper crops adorn White Ash, Black Cherry, Wild Raisin, and a few other species.

Scarlet Tanagers, Red-eyed Vireos, Blue Jays, and other birds are currently devour-

However, if the ash crop remains intact, flocks of Bohemian Waxwings and Pine Grosbeaks might well liven our winter.

The drought may also affect animals in other ways. Many beaver ponds currently display low water levels.

If a severely cold winter descends on us, some ponds may freeze to the bottom, spell-

ing disaster for their occupants.

Beavers don’t hibernate; they depend on water under the ice for access to their food stores.

All of this, of course, is speculation, and time will tell the true tale. Even if a happy ending is not in store for some of our wild neighbours, it will simply be Nature’s way.

Walk on the Wild Side with Michael Runtz Sept. 18 If walking in the woods isn’t something that you would ordinarily enjoy doing on your own, then there couldn’t be a better opportunity than following the lead of Michael Runtz.

You’ll have that opportunity on Sunday, Sept. 18 at High Lonesome Nature Reserve near Pakenham. Runtz has a real talent for making nature more accessible to just about anyone, from the avid naturalist to the person who can’t tell a groundhog from a badger.

Runtz’s dynamic story-telling style, laced with humour, can turn a simple walk in the woods into an amazing adventure in the wild.

His enthusiastic style has won him numerous teaching awards and record enrolments at Carleton University, where he teaches Natural History.

He has published 11 books, adorned with the stunning photographs from his adventures.

FAVOURITE SPOT

High Lonesome Nature Reserve has been a favourite spot of Runtz’s for years, before it was donated to the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) in 2012. This 200acre property lies within a wetland complex, which is rich habitat for a variety of wildlife.

It has eight kilometres of trails that wind around ponds, meadows and through different types of forest. New interpretive signage is being installed this summer.

To date, MMLT has legally protected more than 2,400 acres of sensitive lands in eastern Ontario. It is somewhat unique among land

MMLT believes that nature experiences provide numerous benefits that contribute to physical, emotional and spiritual health.

Year-round opportunities are provided on three of its five properties for hiking, trail running, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

REGISTRATION

Registration for Walk on the Wild Side is at 9:30 a.m. on Sept.18. The walk starts at 10 a.m. A donation of $10 per person is requested.

Damsels and Dragons start new lecture season for naturalists

Cheryl Morris-Putman

Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists

On Thursday, Sept. 15, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) will begin a new season of natural history lectures relating to the theme ‘Wild Creature Close-Ups’.

This event will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin St. The guest speaker is provincial arthropod zoologist and lifelong naturalist Colin Jones. His presentation is entitled ‘Dragonflies and Damselflies of Ontario’.

Have you ever wandered along a path skirting a wetland or enjoyed a relaxing stroll along a riverbank or lakeside beach and felt yourself entering a special place?

You hear the sounds of water, the songs of birds, and the rustling of leaves. And then, as you relax further and ponder your surroundings, your attention is drawn to the sunlight glistening off the wings of a beautiful dragonfly or damselfly, silently skimming the surface of the water.

Jones will allow his audience to enter the mystical world of these enchanting creatures, and will enable a distinguishing between the two.

Dragonflies and damselflies are two related suborders that make up the insect order Odonata. Although similar in many ways, there are subtle differences.

The audience will be introduced to such fascinating individuals as the Ebony Jewelwing and the Stygian Shadowdragon. These insects are not only an important part of our ecosystem but are exciting to watch and become familiar with

Jones’ presentation will include photographs and discussion that will outline the life cycles, conservation, and habitats of the dragonflies and damselflies of Ontario.

Jones works at the Natural Heritage Information Centre in Peterborough under the auspices of Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. The centre’s staff members conduct research and surveys in the field for priority species and areas across Ontario.

The centre collects, reviews, manages and distributes information for species of conservation concern, rare and exemplary plant communities, wildlife concentration areas, and natural areas.

In his career, Jones deals primarily with rare species. His interest in the natural world first focused on birds and birding, but gradually he expanded his horizons to include many other studies in nature.

Over the past 25 years, he has become more involved in the study of Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies). He is co-ordinator of the Ontario Odonata Atlas project and is the co-author of A Field Guide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of Algonquin Provincial Park and Surrounding Area, now in its second edition.

Refreshments and discussion will follow his talk. There is a non-member fee of $5 (no charge for youth under 18 years). Jones will bring along copies of the field guide as well as ‘The ROM Field Guide to the Butterflies of Ontario’, which he co-authored. The books sell for $25 each.

For further information, contact MVFN’s program chair Gretta Bradley at glbradley@ icloud.com.

Ottawa Senators Fan Fest returns Sept. 25 Sens fans will have the opportunity to meet players, watch the team practice and take part in interactive games at the Ottawa Senators Fan Fest on Sept. 25.

The event takes place at the Canadian Tire Centre and provides fans “with their first chance to see the 2016-17 Senators competing on the ice,” says a release from the NHL team.

Advance tickets to Fan Fest are $10, and will also be available on site the day of the event for $15.

Season seat holders can buy tickets for $7.50. Tickets went on sale Aug. 22.

Fan Fest begins on the Gate 1 plaza at 9 a.m. with an official welcome ceremony.

Following that, attendees can watch

the Sens participate in an intra-squad game and practice, and meet players and alumni during fan press conferences and autograph sessions throughout the day.

Face-painters, balloonists and other entertainers will also be on site.

BOBBLEHEADS

The first 7,500 people to purchase tickets will receive a Craig Anderson bobblehead at the event and “additional limited edition bobbleheads will be unveiled to fans just after 9 a.m. as part of the club’s 25th anniversary celebrations,” says the release.

“These bobbleheads will be part of the

25-piece set that be available to fans at games during the 2017 anniversary celebrations.”

The Senators 25th anniversary season begins in 2017.

Canadian Tire is holding an “exclusive pre-season promotion,” offering a free Fan Fest ticket and bobblehead to people who buy a pre-season ticket at its participating stores, says the release.

Fan Fest parking is free at the Canadian Tire Centre and the event runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 25.

Tickets are available at ottawasenators. com/tickets, by calling Ticketmaster at 1-877-788-FANS, or visiting a participating Canadian Tire.

Forever a Senator: Alfie’s number being retired Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

History will be made on Dec. 29 when the Ottawa Senators retire a jersey for the first time in the team’s modern run.

Daniel Alfredsson’s No. 11 will be raised to the rafters at the Canadian Tire Centre during an NHL game against the Detroit Red Wings, the team he played his final hockey season with.

He signed a one-day contract with the Senators on Dec. 4, 2014, in order to formally retire as a Senator.

“I think you get a little bit of a different perspective after you retire,” Alfredsson said at an Aug. 16 press conference at the Canadian Tire Centre.

“It’s honouring, extremely flattering, and it brings back a lot of memories.”

The former Senators’ player, who is now a member of the team’s front office, has some impressive statistics.

He played from 1995 to 2013 with the Senators, wearing the captain’s ‘C’ for many of them and is the franchise leader in points and goals.

AWARD WINNER

“As a captain of the team for 13 years, he is our franchise’s longest serving captain,” said club owner Eugene Melnyk.

“Daniel is also a three-time winner of major NHL awards, an all-star for the NHL, and an Olympic champion … and some of Daniel’s greatest moments with our team have happened off the ice.”

Alfredsson said the game

against the Detroit Red Wings was one he suggested to club president Cyril Leeder.

He thought it would be fitting, and he’ll likely have family in town for Christmas that will be able to attend the game at the same time.

The Alfredsson family returned to Ottawa on a full-time basis on Aug. 15, he added.

He was chosen through a player honouring committee that was formed to recognize past players in the club’s upcoming 25th anniversary season.

Senior hockey advisor Bryan Murray spoke about some of Alfredsson’s top moments with the club.

“Character, leader, big time performer, disciplined player, and a very respectful player and person,” were words that Murray said can all describe the player.

He said one of the things that stood out the most about Alfredsson, affectionately called “Alfie” by fans, was how long he would stay on the ice.

He would regularly stay 30 to 40 minutes after a formal training session ended.

“He was developing a work ethic for many of the young and veteran players, staying that extra time after the coach disappeared off the ice,” Murray said.

Alfredsson is well known in Ottawa for his charity work and community involvement with organizations, including the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health and CHEO. In 2015, he was awarded a key to the City of Ottawa.

Frank Finnigan who played from 1923-37 previously had his #8 retired.

The off-peak hydro rate is now 8.5 cents per kWh. Mid-peak is 13.2 cents per kWh, and on-peak is 18 cents per kWh. This means that the cost of having a shower, doing the laundry, or washing dishes has gone up more than 400% in a dozen years.

We are subsidizing expensive wind and solar energy, and neglecting our renewable hydro or nuclear power.

Worse, we are selling wind and solar power to other jurisdictions well below market value.

Fitzoy fastball team qualifies for championship round John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

West Carleton Electric has already pulled one rabbit out of the hat in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League playoffs.

The Fitzroy-based team will try for another in the league’s final four double knockout championship round. In its first game, Electric was scheduled to play league

regular season champions Micksburg Twins Wednesday, Sept. 7 (after press deadline).

The Electric, which finished fifth in the regular season, qualified for the final four by coming back to best the fourth-place Stittsville 56ers 3-2 in their opening series.

West Carleton fell behind 2-1 in the series, but survived with an extra-innings 3-2 win in game four in Fitzroy on Aug. 22.

The game was tied 1-1 after the regulation seven innings, so the eighth inning was played under international rules, which sees a player placed on second base to start the inning.

In the top of the inning, the 56ers scored to take a 2-1 lead.

However, in the bottom of the inning, West Carleton Electric scored twice to win 3-2.

In the deciding game in Stitts-

ville on Aug. 24, West Carleton took an early 2-0 lead, scored two more runs in the fourth inning to go 4-0 and went on to an 8-1 win in the deciding game.

Electric won the first game 8-3, before losing 10-8 and 8-4.

In the first game of the championship round in Quyon Aug. 30, the Kars Aces edged the Flyers 5-3.

The Knights also came out on top with an 8-0 win in the Peewees game and 40-0 in Bantam play.

Come try ringette for free this Saturday Do you know someone who is between the ages of 4 and 16? Well, pass this along.

The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) is providing a free opportunity for youth to try ringette this Saturday, Sept. 10.

The chance to see if you want to become involved with the local ringette community will run from 1:15 to 2:15 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Centre in Stittsville.

It is an opportunity for all kids to try playing ringette and get a feel for the game.

If you are already a player who has a friend interested in trying ringette, then this is the chance for you to introduce her to this “amazing game.”

Bring your friend with you and you can both go on the ice.

Maybe you are a brand new player or two new players who would like to try ringette together, then come on out.

Perhaps you are a hockey player who’d like to learn more about ringette.

This is your opportunity to check it out.

Maybe you just want to know more about ringette, so come give it a try.

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

Ringette sticks will be available for use, but if you have one or can borrow one, that is even better.

West Ottawa Ringette also offers an equipment loan program to new ringette players from the ages of 4-7 (‘Bunny’ program).

This provides 26 4-7-year-olds who are new to the sport with all necessary equipment, except for a helmet and skates.

Not only do they learn to skate, but they meet new friends and are introduced to the “great sport of ringette.”

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.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Upcoming Town Hall Please join us at our next Town Hall, to be held at the Eva James Community Centre in Bridlewood, on Wednesday, September 14, from 6:30 – 8:30 pm.

All topics will be open for discussion.

Palestinian Festival I was thrilled to attend the Palestinian Festival at Marion Dewar Plaza. This three-day event featured delicious foods such as Fool (a fava bean dish) hummus, falafel, and special flat breads which were baked on the spot! There was terrific music and dancing, and even a super bazaar! We are so fortunate in Ottawa to have such a rich diversity of cultures to enjoy and celebrate.

National Caucus I was very proud to participate in the first Liberal caucus retreat since the election last October. Our caucus met in the beautiful Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec to prepare for the upcoming session of Parliament which begins September 19th.

The number of historic achievements made by our government, and the ambitious goals we have set to continue improving the lives of middle-class Canadians, were among the many things we talked about.

Canada-China Relations Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made his first official visit as PM to China on August 30th. While there he met with government and business leaders to promote greater dialogue between Canada and China and to discuss how to bolster our shared prosperity. As the Prime Minister has said, strengthening our relationship with China is essential if we are to continue growing our middle class, since China is the world’s secondlargest economy, and our second-largest single-country trading partner.

Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all. Please feel free to contact our office at 613-592-3469 or by email at Karen.McCrimmon@parl.gc.ca. Also, you can follow me on twitter @karenmccrimmon.

‘Changes in play’ for Kanata Lasers Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Kanata Lasers Jr. A team is gearing up for an exciting new season, says head coach Jeff Jordan.

“There’s a lot of changes in play for the Jr. A team,” said Jordan, former assistant coach of the Ottawa 67’s. “We believe we have a great core group of players.

“We’re really excited about their potential.”

Jordan and Adam Gibson, the former general manager of the Brockville Braves who was brought on board in November, have spent the summer months working on plans to reshape and rebuild the team, which plays in the Central Canada Hockey League 1.

“With the struggles of the organization in years past, it’s always fun to be a part of organizational change,” said Jordan.

“It’s going to be an exciting time turning this around.”

The Lasers first home game is Sept.

8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Kanata Recreation Complex. “I’d love to see the community supporting us,” said Jordan.

“When they’re out there, they’ll see fun hockey.”

The team hasn’t qualified for playoffs since the 2010-11 season when the thenKanata Stallions lost in the quarterfinals.

The Jr. A team was originally known as the Kanata Valley Lasers and played home games at the Jack Charron Arena.

The team became the Kanata Stallions following a change in ownership and a move to the Kanata Recreation Complex.

A rebrand in 2014 saw the team name changed to the Kanata Lasers.

The goal this season is “to establish a team mentality as quick as we can and lay the foundation for success in years to come,” said Jordan.

“There’s been some struggles, different players and coaches coming in and out and my goal is to eliminate that turnover.” The Lasers will also feature more local players, with only nine or 10

RETAIL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR AN AGENCY STORE IN FITZROY HARBOUR, LCBO RFP #2016-115 FITZROY HARBOUR An excellent business opportunity is now available to established retailers in Fitzroy Harbour.

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

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.

JUNIOR B TEAM FREEBIE

Kanata’s newest hockey team plays its first home game at Jack Charron Arena tonight (Sept. 8), and to mark the occasion, admission will be free.

The Ottawa Canadians Jr. B club moved from Sandy Hill to Kanata in the off-season. The Canadians will face off against their long-time rival Ottawa West Golden Knights on Thursday at 7 p.m. Jack Charron Arena is located at 10 McKitrick Dr., at the corner of Castlefrank Road.

Arnprior Packers add West Carleton players The Arnprior Packers, buoyed by the addition of two West Carleton players, have split the first two games of their Central Canada Hockey League Tier II season.

Just prior to opening day, the Packers added Carp defenceman Andrew MacKinnon and Fitzroy forward Payton Jardine to the team.

The Packers opened the season with a 5-1 win over the Alexandria Glens Sept. 2 at the Bell Sensplex in the league’s opening showcase. However, Arnprior lost 5-2 to defending league champion Casselman Vikings Monday, also at the Sensplex.

Also on the team are forwards Lucas Brown of Carp and Joe Vaughan of Almonte. All three West Carleton players dressed for both games. Brown scored in the preseason as the Packers won one of three games. The Packers home opener is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 9 versus Ottawa Canadians at 8 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre.

billeted spots being filled as opposed to the 15 out-of-town spaces last year, said Jordan.

Part of that is due to the changes in midget AAA hockey, which now sees most teams affiliated with a Jr. A team.

Record-holding canoeist glides through area Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Spitzii leads a rambling life that even the Littlest Hobo would envy.

Every day is a new adventure on the rivers and lakes of Canada, experiencing dangerous encounters with wildlife and meeting generous folks who invite him to stay for a time. His life could be a television show.

The Finnish Spitz breed of dog has likely circumnavigated the world twice by canoe, and even holds a couple of world honours in canoeing. All that without having to paddle even one time. His master Mike Ranta gets that job, along with the distinction of being the first person in history to cross North America in one season by canoe, and a record for longest solo canoe trip.

“He’s been with me on all three trips,” said Ranta, who glided into the Arnprior marina on Aug. 29.

“He’s got a great life.”

The two set off from British Columbia this spring for Cape Breton, N.S. Their attempt in 2014, which also found them stopping at a friend’s in Arnprior, was cut short by a massive Atlantic storm.

It still won them the record for longest solo trip.

They are determined to complete the trip this time.

“It’s a dream of mine and I’m going to do it,” said Ranta, who sports a permanent half grin under wild straw-like hair and a birch bark hat. “Not really competitive; I’m just determined to get this done.”

He is also determined to share a

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Mike Ranta and his trusty dog Spitzii are travelling across Canada by canoe, again. The pair stopped in Arnprior and paddled by West Carleton recently, as they did in 2014, en route to Cape Breton. They are determined to complete the trek this time. message: Canada must do better by its war veterans. Ranta has a large wooden flag with numerous veterans’ signatures from folks he has met along the way. He wants better mental health services for them, and is “embarrassed and ashamed” to see so many living homeless on Canadian streets.

One story stands out for him.

A veteran met him at one stop and told him about landing on the beaches of Normandy. Of the 98 with him, 83 perished on the first day alone.

Ranta knew he was looking at a hero, but also a feeble old man with little fight left in him. Certainly not

enough to do battle with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

“He told me about his pension getting cut and how he doesn’t know how he will get by,” Ranta said. “I’m not ashamed to tell you that I cried with him on the side of the road. We can help these guys out. They don’t deserve this.”

On the mental health side, entire families are affected. Ranta didn’t go into detail, but his brother was once a soldier and now he “suffers a little bit” from PTSD. But he has hope, saying Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a good heart and will do what is necessary to end the suffering.

“It really bothers me to know they are going through that,” he said. “I see a real change for the positive with Justin Trudeau. He’s got a lot of compassion and I want to be part of that. I want to be a true Canadian.”

He finds much goodwill on his journey, including his time at Doug Mitchell’s home near Division Street just outside of Arnprior in McNab-Braeside. Man and dog enjoyed a nice meal in a busy household, then returned to the marina where they bedded down for the night.

Indoor beds are too soft, the rooms too quiet. If he does stay at

someone’s house, he sleeps on the floor.

It takes him a long time to adjust after a trip. He sleeps in the backyard for 10 days or so.

“It’s almost a shock,” he said, adding that wanderlust is also hard to break. “The constant motion of the canoe can get you. It’s a bit like PTSD. You’re always on tense, then it shuts off right away.”

Many people would think canoeing is calm, if not boring. Not Ranta. There is always a new relationship developing, from the 17 bear encounters, two mountain lions, even a moose calf in distress.

“I rescued a baby moose one time. Had him right inside the boat with us!”

He doesn’t shy away from the label of environmentalist, saying humans must learn better to co-exist with animals. We must also “stop sticking our nose” in nature’s business.

“Take what you need, and try to give back.”

Much of his diet comes by way of foraging along riverbanks and eating a lot of fish. A typical day sees him paddle between 15 and 20 hours, with another hour to explore the bush.

Spitzii doesn’t get a lot of Kibbles ’n Bits in his diet. He somehow remains a fairly spunky little guy with a strong independent streak.

Ranta often has to raise his voice to bring the dog back around. He also doesn’t take well to other dogs in Mitchell’s neighbourhood.

Maybe he’s protecting his spot on the canoe.

Craig Cardiff to play at Arnprior Library News from the Pakenham Library playlist to each of the residents of the Grove Nursing Home. To date, 70 per cent of the fundraising goal for this project has been raised.

“This concert will help us complete the first phase of this exciting project” said chief librarian Karen DeLuca.

With a voice described as “warm, scratched, sad and sleepy,” Cardiff sings songs that expose the human condition, putting a magnifying glass to the clumsier and less proud moments.

He can turn any setting into an intimate affair, in-

fusing his music and lyrics with an uncompromising humanism.

Cardiff makes it a point to keep the relationship with his fans personal, inviting and accepting any opportunity to make his audience as much a part of the performance as he is.

Tickets cost $10 and available at the library for both the 3 p.m. matinee and the evening performance at 7.

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

I am negotiating to purchase a business and my business advisor has strongly suggested I structure the deal as an “asset purchase”. Why is this preferable? through an asset purchase agreement. For example, if the owner of the business has been pocketing cash payments or using corporate assets for personal use, the business may be exposed to reassessments and penalties by the Canada Revenue Agency. A purchase of shares would mean that you, through the purchased corporation, are exposed those claims.

There are two principal ways to structure the agreement of purchase and sale of a business: as an asset purchase or as a share purchase. An asset purchase is just that, a purchase of listed assets without taking on liabilities of the business.

A share purchase, by contrast, is the purchase of the shares of the corporation that carries on the business and owns the assets. There are a number of considerations as to which form of purchase is preferable. In this article, we want to focus on why your advisor has strongly recommended an asset purchase.

Exceptions There are some exceptions to the avoidance of liability by an asset purchase. For instance, if the purchased business employed unionized labour, a collective agreement and any ongoing liabilities thereunder will follow the purchased business, even if structured as an asset purchase. Your legal counsel can assist you to identify and understand the relevant risks and how to avoid them where possible or otherwise obtain protection.

Liability A properly structured asset purchase agreement will allow you to purchase all of the desirable assets of the business you wish to acquire while leaving out the unwanted liabilities.

Your advisor has likely identified the business as one (by its nature or by the disclosure you’ve obtained) in which there are significant potential liabilities that may be avoided

New French school for Arnprior delayed a year, set to open 2017 Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Other Arnprior and West Carleton area schools are opening for the fall season, but the proposed French elementary one will be delayed until 2018.

The French Catholic board Conseil des ecoles catholiques du Centre Est (CECCE) announced last November plans to open a primary school on Baskin Drive across from A.J. Charbonneau Public School. The plan was to open in late August 2017.

“We have had to delay the opening by one year.

“The process took a lot longer than expected,” said Celine Bourbonnais, communications director at CECCE. She was unsure of the cause prior to deadline, though the “process” did not include having the municipality work on severance or rezoning issues.

At the time of the announcement, some Arnprior commentators on social media questioned the use of $498 million in provincial tax funds to build a new school in an area with decreasing number of students.

They would welcome the school to move in with another facing declining enrolment.

As well, there was also resistance to using agricultural land for development.

Then there were apparent communication issues with the family who have for generations lived and farmed the land being severed.

However, Bourbonnais described dealings between the board and Campbell family as “amicable” and even expects the family to participate in upcoming photo opt/ news release on site.

Reached by phone, Blair and Liz Campbell did not contradict Bourbonnais but will not make any public comments.

About 50 families have shown enrollment interest in the future school that will have a capacity of 250.

The nearest French Catholic schools are Saint Remi in Kanata and Ecole J.L. Couroux in Carleton Place, almost 50 kilometres away.

The board estimates more than 265 children in the region - including West Carleton - have a constitutional right to a French Catholic education.

“We are happy with the interest shown so far,” Bourbonnais said.

The CECCE is also planning to include a daycare for 36 children at the new school.

Goulbourn chorus seeks new members from West Carleton Are you a man who enjoys singing?

Would you like to do more singing in a group of like-minded men?

The Goulbourn Male Chorus is an established choir that draws on men from around West Carleton, Kanata and as far as Almonte.

The chorus enjoys singing a wide variety of music from classic to secular, from show tunes to folk and modern – always with arrangements that underscore the rich harmonies of male voices.

The fall program includes sev-

eral performances at events in the area, at seniors’ facilities culminating in the Christmas concert on Dec. 11, which has become a traditional Christmas event for many families in the west end of Ottawa.

The Chorus rehearses every Tuesday evening at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road, where the emphasis is on having an enjoyable social evening as well as producing great music.

Opportunities also exist to sing in smaller ensembles within the chorus.

While the ability to read music is an asset, it is not essential as members can receive MP3 recordings of their parts of the music to assist with the learning process.

Guidance from the music director Byron Herman and from more experienced members is always available also.

New members will be welcomed at any rehearsals in September, starting at 7 p.m.

More information can be found at the website www.goulbournmalechours.com and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ GoulbournMaleChorus/?fref=ts.

The Goulbourn Make Chorus is seeking new members.

SUBMITTED

Goulbourn Jubilee Singers perform in Europe, celebrate 40th anniversary Thirty members of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers spent a week this summer performing in some of Salzburg and Prague’s most beautiful and historical venues.

Under the direction of Linda Crawford, with the accompaniment of Bonnie McDiarmid, the community mixed-voice choir founded in 1977 performed a Canadianbased repertoire in several different venues, including the Mozarteum in Salzburg and Melk Abbey near Vienna.

The tour started with a performance at the Mozarteum, Salzburg’s University for

Music and the Dramatic Arts.

A great highlight of the choir’s time in Salzburg, and the reason many members signed up for the trip, was the performance of the Missa Solemnis, the last complete mass Mozart ever wrote, in Salzburg Cathedral, along with the Salzburg Cathedral Choir and Hastings and Prince Edward Regional Chorus.

Asked afterwards whether it lived up to their expectations, many said it was an incredibly overwhelming experience that brought tears to their eyes.

After four days in Salzburg enjoying Austrian hospitality, the group moved on to the Abbey at Melk, Austria overlooking the Danube where it performed a short program of liturgical music.

After the performance and a tour, it was on to Prague for some sightseeing and the final performance of the tour at the Church of St. Martin in the Wall, where they performed alongside a local Czech women’s choir for a stirring and varied program.

The non-auditioned choirs accept singers of all musical abilities. Practices are

every Wednesday night at Stittsville United Church.

For further information, check them out on Facebook or at www.gjsingers.com.

The tour was the realization of a dream for many members and they returned for the choir’s 40th anniversary season with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

This season will see the choir partner with the Hastings and Prince Edward Regional Chorus on a program that will celebrate the milestone as well as Canada’s 150th birthday.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, September 8, 2016 41

Local musician to hold EP release party Sept. 16 at Sand Point Golf Club “Momma said I was a dancer, before I could walk.

She said I began to sing long before I could talk …”

A famous line from an ABBA song that demonstrates nothing less than the start of Vicki Brittle’s musical talent and interest.

Since the age of two when she began to sing, she has yet to stop.

Making singing not only a passion, but a dedication at a young age, she began singing lessons with Arnprior Community Choir musical director Lisa Webber, studying Royal Conservatory Vocals.

After developing beneficial and proper vocal abilities throughout the time of being Webber’s student, Brittle moved on to begin writing and singing on her own, and introducing herself to different genres.

As Brittle began to explore herself and who she was as a musician, she began writing more than she could speak.

Books upon books would be bought from the local dollar store just to keep her thoughts and songs contained.

Once music became an allaround-the-year thing, Brittle knew she was comfortable being hand in hand with music 24/7.

Through the bumps in the road, many learning experiences and personal discoveries, she has written and recorded her first E.P (Extended Play album) with a heavy heart and released her first single called ‘Candy’.

With a heart built at home, Brittle is holding her E.P release party in Braeside at the Sand Point Golf Club on Friday, Sept. 16.

She will be releasing and selling ($10) her whole album to the attendees the night of the release, and releasing the official E.P on iTunes Sept. 17. With a long list including her mother and father, Hedley and Angela Brittle, Vicki thanks everyone in the community who helped her assemble her wings in order to fly, with special mentions of Anders Drerup, Barb Martin (Main Street Of Music), Marty Jones, and studio musicians Rob and Stu. With open arms, the Brittles welcome everyone to come out to support their local musician/talent who is about to take flight.If you wish to attend the E.P release, doors open at 7:30 p.m. with showtime at 8 p.m.

MADISON IRONS/MOMENTS BY MADISON Special guests Two Tone Sunburst Vicki Brittle, shown playing on her single ‘Candy’, is inviting everyone to her EP release will also be performing.

Let the music play. party at the Sand Point Golf Club Friday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m.

FIRST MOMENT

After some time of writing and attending Main St. School of Music, Brittle began to play local gigs and performing the national anthem for the Junior B Packers hockey team.

This led to the first moment her family remembering her knowing who she was and who she was going to be.

Brittle sang the national anthem at the Telus Cup that aired nationally in 2011 from the Arnprior Civic Centre. The joy on her face was beyond contagious as she shared the song of her country with fellow members of Arnprior, and visitors from all over.

Although the cold weather didn’t bug her, she began getting busy with music in all seasons, from bonfires and gigs to music school organized events.

Nothing lazy about Aussie rock band coming to Arnprior Sept. 14 One of Australia’s most talked about rock bands is coming to Arnprior for a concert.

The Lazys will play the John St. Pub in downtown Arnprior on Wednesday, Sept. 14. The doors will open at 7:30 p.m. with showtime at 8 p.m. for the 19+ show.

John St. Pub’s David Berardi says the Lazys always deliver a fistful of rock ‘n’ roll, as they demonstrate how “gritty, loud, edgy and

dangerous they in their live performances and the “sizzling” new self titled album. The album includes hits such as ‘Shake It Like You Mean It’, ‘Black Rebel’ and the newly released ‘Howling Woman’, which is already on the top-40 charts. After a cross-Canada tour last year with Canadian rockers One Bad Son, The Trews and Big Wreck and opening for two recent Billy Talent shows in Australia,

The Lazys are back in Canada again, this time as headliners for their ‘Howling Woman’ tour.

Playing on the same bill as The Lazys in Arnprior and other stops on the tour are Moncton-based hard rockers, The Motorleague, and Pembroke-based alternative rock band, The Schminks.

Tickets are available in person at Steve and Denni’s Restaurant OR BRITTANY GRIFFITH/SUBMITTED online at eventbrite.ca The Lazys tour touches down in Arnprior at the John St. Pub on Sept. 14

The dog owner did not know who else to call for assistance with this unusual pet emergency.

Three little girls could be heard in the background obviously upset that their four-legged family member was in distress.

A call was placed to Fire Station 42, and firefighters made their way to the home on Brady AvOTTAWA FIRE SERVICES/SUBMITTED enue without any lights or Ottawa firefighters with a Kanata family and their dog Luna sirens.

Humane societies join forces to fight OSPCA decision in court Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

The Ottawa Humane Society could be without its policing powers at least until October, when it plans to makes its case against a Ontario Society for the Protection of Animals decision in court.

The OHS was scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 8 to seek an emergency injunction against the

OSPCA, which stripped the OHS of its policing powers.

Seeking such an injunction was to temporarily restore the OHS’s power to investigate cases of animal cruelty after the OSPCA suspended its policing powers on July 18. OHS executive director Bruce Roney said the suspension resulted from a governance dispute that began in in June 2015. However, after gaining support from six other humane societies

in Ontario, the Ottawa society has dropped its application for an emergency injunction against the OSPCA in favour of a more thorough hearing in October.

The group, with support from other humane societies, has filed an application for a hearing to override a new OSPCA bylaw that Roney said strips the voting rights of the Ontario SPCA’s affiliate societies.

That application also asks for a

return of the OHS’s policing powers and an expedited hearing.

Roney said he hopes a longer hearing, compared to an emergency injunction, will allow the OHS to make a stronger case before the court, and potentially result in clearer outcome in favour of the OHS and other affiliate societies.

“The best outcome if we’d gone for the short term (injunction) would be, ‘We’ll just put Ottawa’s investiga-

tion authority back until we hear the whole thing.’ So essentially we would have had to go (to court) twice,” Roney said. “We really felt that it was important that we had partners who were both supportive and helping pay, and we want to go once and have the whole thing heard.”

In the meantime, anyone with concerns about the welfare of an animal is encouraged to contact the OSPCA.

Jacob Randell loves dinosaurs.

Apparently he’s a big fan.

So when four Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaurs met him in CHEO’s parking lot, the 12 year-old said he thought it was pretty cool.

“I started to think something big was going to happen,” he said.

Something big did happen.

Jacob will be this year’s new CHEO’s Children’s Miracle Network Champion.

A campaign sponsored by Walmart Canada, a champion has the unique opportunity to advocate for the hospital and encourage people to donate to the CHEO Foundation.

Jacob said he intends to take the job seriously and although he finds it hard to pick one thing about the hospital he loves (he loves everything) he is quick to say they saved his life.

DISNEY WORLD

Jacob will also travel to Orlando, Florida, to be part of a Children’s Miracle Network Momentum conference at Disney World.

There Jacob will have a chance to meet other champions from pediatric hospitals across North America.

On hand to welcome Jacob as the new CHEO champion was last year’s champ, eight year-old Hodan Osman.

Hodan had the pleasure of handing over the reigns – in this case Mickey Mouse ears – to Jacob.

“I think Jacob is going to have an amazing time,” Hodan said.

Like Hodan, Jacob will now represent CHEO throughout the coming year as the face of the 2017 Walmart campaign.

According to Walmart, this campaign is one of the easiest to have nearly all of its 94,000 associates across Canada participate in.

After a seven-year battle with a rare brain cancer and Schwannoma, a genetic condition that causes tumours to grow on nerve endings, Jacob continues to inspire and amaze his mother, Liliane Randell.

“He’s got this connection with everyone he meets,” she said.

“He’s seen more than he should and has lived beyond his years, and just when you think he can’t do something – he goes and amazes you.”

That is why she said he is the perfect choice to represent CHEO. The champions program honours children who have triumphed over various medical challenges. Children are selected as ambassadors and represent the 17 million children treated each year at Children’s Miracle Network member hospitals in Canada and the U.S.

Highland dance competition grows by leaps and bounds A large number of dancers from all over the region, including West Carleton, attended the Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dance Competition Aug. 28 in Arnprior. Caitlin must have been looking over the contest as it rained all around Arnprior, but not in town during the event. Organizer Renee Stewart thanked everyone for their nice words about the competition and how well it was run and issued the following statement. “Huge thanks go out to Jan Oakes and Molly Colovic – we could not have a competition without them. Returning dancers and parents, your support every year is very heart-warming. Cheers all, till next year - our 18th year – Aug. 27, 2017. I am feeling very blessed. Miss you Caitie-Bear.”

No Backp ac the Gr ks on ounds

Unhealthy behaviours cut six years from Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lifespans, study reveals while women lost three years due to physical inactivity.

Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Snuff out that cigarette, lace up your sneakers and start snacking on some veggies.

Unhealthy behaviours related to smoking, diet, physical inactivity and alcohol are shaving six years from the lives of Canadians, and causing about half of all deaths here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If no Canadians smoked and we all did our 150 minutes of physical activity a week, the Canadian life expectancy would be six years longer,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Doug Manuel, an Ottawa family doctor, public health researcher and lead author of a study published Aug. 16 in the medical journal PLOS Medicine.

Those six years came as a surprise to Manuel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always expecting it to be lower,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always taken aback by the magnitude â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how important health behaviours are or how healthy living is important to your health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fifty per cent of deaths we attribute to unhealthy living.â&#x20AC;?

The survey revealed that: â&#x20AC;˘ 26 per cent of deaths were caused by smoking, â&#x20AC;˘ 24 per cent of deaths can be blamed on physical inactivity, â&#x20AC;˘ 12 per cent of deaths were caused by poor diet, â&#x20AC;˘ 0.4 per cent of deaths were due to unhealthy alcohol consumption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not surprised that smoking is number one,â&#x20AC;? Manuel said, though added that smoking rates in Canada are improving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we are surprised that physical activity and diet is quickly approaching what smoking is.â&#x20AC;?

Top risk factors were also broken down by gender. Smoking shaved 3.1 years from the lives of Canadian men,

SOME GOOD NEWS

The decline in smoking rates has made a big difference in the health of Canadians, and diet and physical activity rates are improving.

There are also modest improvements in our fruit and vegetable intake. Trans fats have also declined within the food industry, which is helping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying there is optimism,â&#x20AC;? Manuel said.

And the eight-person research team discovered that people who followed recommended healthy behaviours lived 17.9 years longer than those who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS

The results of the study, which reflect 98 per cent of Canadians, are not only eye-opening, but also ground breaking in the way scientific researchers crunched the data. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we presented to that journal is saying this is a new way of estimating the burden from smoking and these other health behaviours compared to what (the World Health Organization) and others have been doing for quite a while,â&#x20AC;? said Manuel, who is also a senior scientist at the Ottawa Hospital, a senior medical adviser at Statistics Canada, a professor at the University of Ottawa and a lead public health researcher at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences, which funded the study with Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Processing the enormous amount of survey information was not easy. The team developed statistical models to look at the health factors, and created a

predictive algorithm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a formula known as the MPoRT Mortality Population Risk Tool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to predict death based on the responses to the Canadian Community Health Survey, which asked about Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health behaviours.

The researchers followed up to find out whether participants had died and the contributing causes of death.

New computer programs had to be developed to execute the algorithm, which is being made available to other countries for their own studies.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoped the Canadian studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results and methods will help direct change in this country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us as scientists, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s providing the tools for those â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what ifsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the policy folks to be able to evaluate or test out different policies,â&#x20AC;? said Manuel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of estimates, believe it or not, when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re developing policies for smoking or other things.â&#x20AC;?

The hope is also that this will draw Canadians into the health discussion.

HOW HEALTHY ARE YOU?

The public can also determine their estimated life expectancy by answering questions about their health behaviours at www.projectbiglife.ca, an updated lifespan calculator first developed by the research team during an earlier study focusing on the health behaviours of Ontarians.

The survey demonstrates that if changes are made, years could be added to their lives.

The team has already been working on another study to compare Canada internationally, including the U.S. Other risk factors, like cholesterol, have been added to that survey.

Those findings are expected in six months to a year.

Behind the board: Trustee talks about sexual abuse, alcoholism struggle Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Predators aren’t always lurking in the bushes; sometimes they are people you trust – the ones that should have been there to protect you.

Donna Blackburn, the public school board trustee for Barrhaven/KnoxdaleMerivale, has become rather famous for her unconventional comments about board business. She jokingly refers to herself as the renegade trustee. But under the jokes and the no nonsense approach, she holds on to some pretty heavy secrets.

And she’s ready to talk.

Blackburn is a sexual abuse survivor and she struggles with depression.

She’s also an alcoholic.

Close friends know she’s an alcoholic, one of whom took her to the doctor last year to try and get her into a treatment facility, but she wants to come out of the shadows.

“It’s very hard to get treatment,” Blackburn said, adding she wants to address the stigma associated with addiction.

Blackburn came to Ottawa at 25 to work her dream job on Parliament Hill for Sheila Copps, but became disillusioned.

“People seemed to be there to serve themselves, to line their pockets and that’s not what I am about,” Blackburn said, adding she returned to Carleton University and ended up getting a masters degree in social work.

Her education has given her some insight into her illness, but also helped to provide a cop out at times.

Blackburn said she remembers being in treatment in Brockville in 2007 and using her expertise to tell counsellors what they wanted to hear.

But now that she’s ready, it can be tough to get help.

Girard said that there’s anecdotal evidence that women suffer from mental health issues at a higher rate than men, but there can be barriers to getting treatment.

“There’s publicly funded help out there,” she said. “But you have to be willing to do some leg work.”

LONG WAIT TIMES

Ben Roebuck, the coordinator of the victimology program at Algonquin College, said there’s a blame and shame cycle when it comes to childhood sexual abuse that can result in victims finding unhealthy ways to cope – like abusing alcohol.

“For women, there’s a societal expectation that they manage their bodies,” he said.

“There’s advice about how to dress to avoid sexual abuse that can complicate getting help.” In addition, adolescents who experience abuse are often confused about consent, mistaking the physiological responses of their body as consent.

“A lot of the time young people don’t recognize it as abuse at the time of the incident,” he said.

Roebuck said few cases of childhood sexual abuse make it into the criminal justice system. “A lot of the time people still have a complicated relationship with the abuser, which can make it difficult to come out into the public eye,” he said.

“Most wait times are six months,” Blackburn said. “It’s an issue of health. You wouldn’t go to the hospital and be told you have to wait six months for them to fix a broken leg. It should be the same for addiction.”

Blackburn said after a particularly rough year, she wanted to go into a detox centre, but couldn’t get into the Ottawa Withdrawal Management Centre. The centre has 26 beds and is run at the Montfort Hospital. Only six of the beds are for women.

“You have to keep calling to see if there’s a bed. I even had my doctor call and tell them I needed to be there and I couldn’t get in,” Blackburn said.

Lise Girard, chair of the Champlain Addiction Co-ordinating Body, said that accessing the beds is easier now than a year ago.

“You can get into a bed in about 24 hours,” she said, adding there’s a new stabilization program out of the Montfort Hospital.

A client can be referred to the program through a healthcare professional, or call

FALLOUT FROM ABUSE

DONNA BLACKBURN themselves and ask for an assessment. After the assessment, a “navigator” will help clients navigate the system and work out the best treatment plan.

Girard said that Amethyst Women’s Addiction Centre is an outpatient option for people wanting to get treatment.

“People have to be in a place where they’re ready to stop some behaviours and make a change,” she said. “They have to do the work.”

Teenage secret affair led to depression for Barrhaven trustee Continued from page 50

Blackburn’s story starts with a romantic relationship, but it wasn’t the teenage puppy love of early adolescence.

It was a secret affair that led to crushing depression when it ended. She was only 14 years old when it started.

Blackburn was billeting with a family while on a competitive swim team in Sudbury when a female adult initiated the relationship.

Originally from Kapuskasing in Northern Ontario, high school was tough for Blackburn.

Not only was she in the closet, she was also dealing with the fallout from what happened to her, with nowhere to turn for support because she wanted to keep the secret.

Now, she’s a single mom and she said there have been days where getting up and showering took all of her energy.

“But you need to get up and go to work so you have to slog through it,” she said.

She’s not alone said Patrizia WandMayville, the executive director for Empathy House, one of only a handful of long-term residential treatment centres in Ontario.

Nestled on Sunnyside Avenue in Old Ottawa South, the 10-bed recovery home will take women for anywhere from three months to a year.

Wand-Mayville said almost all of

her clientele have suffered some kind of abuse.

“It has to be 99 per cent of our clientele are abuse survivors,” she said. “And a lot of the time it’s sexual abuse. Basically the root of addiction is trauma.”

Not only are most clients dealing with trauma, but Wand-Mayville said there are currently a dozen long-term residential treatment centres for men, with only three or four for women.

Wand-Mayville said there’s a increased stigma for women dealing with addiction.

There are also barriers since most of the time the mother is the primary caregiver.

“Usually by the time women come to us, they’ve lost custody of their kids.

They certainly don’t want to be away from them, but sometimes there’s no other options,” she said.

‘NOT MY SHAME’

Looking back, Blackburn gets angry about the shame she felt for years following the abuse.

“It wasn’t my shame,” she said. “It’s hers.”

Blackburn said she started drinking heavily at the age of 19 – when the relationship with her abuser ended.

“At the time I didn’t see it as abuse, I was madly in love,” she said.

A 2013 study by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in

the United States found that childhood trauma was “significantly more prevalent among the men and women who were now seeking help for a drinking problem.”

The study, which looked at responses from 280 people seeking treatment for alcohol addiction, in addition to those seeking treatment, there were 137 control subjects. The researchers also found a link between the severity of the childhood trauma and the severity of the drinking problem.

Another study, done by the department of addictive behaviour, at St. George’s Hospital Medical School in London, England showed that 54 per cent of women seeking treatment for alcohol abuse, suffered from sexual abuse, compared to 24 per cent of men.

Of those respondents, 75 per cent of victims reported abuse occurring under the age of 15.

Blackburn was elected in 2010, after unsuccessfully trying for an appointment after the death of long-time trustee Alex Getty in 2009.

The single mom is a former social worker and doesn’t pull any punches.

She’s also the board’s first openly gay trustee.

“The Education Act talks about student achievement and well being, but sometimes we forget about the well-being part,” Blackburn said, adding staff got to

know pretty quickly that if a report didn’t talk about both student well-being and achievement, she was going to speak up.

“I am happy there has been a culture shift and an improvement in our mental health framework,” Blackburn said.

Blackburn has sought treatment for depression and is working on stabilizing her own situation.

“I don’t want anyone’s pity,” Blackburn said. “I think my experiences make me a better trustee.”

Resource Centre celebrates 30 years of serving West Ottawa The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) is a not-for-profit organization that provides health and social services to communities in far west Ottawa including West Carleton.

It will celebrate its diamond anniversary with an open house and barbecue on Sept.

26. Thirty years ago the resource centre began with $27,000, one employee and a dream of providing services for residents struggling with issues ranging from marriage breakdowns to isolation and job loss.

“They had this little seed of an idea,” said Cathy Jordan, executive director of the centre for the past 15 years.

Now, it’s estimated the centre reaches more than 15,000 people every year through its multiple programs and services in Kanata, Goulbourn, West Carleton and Nepean.

“This past year, we had 229 volunteers who did 30,000 hours of work. Isn’t that amazing?” said Jordan. “We’re working with the community and engaging people in the community.

“I’m just really proud of what we’ve accomplished.”

The open house will feature a free barbecue, entertainment by Junkyard Symphony, activities for all ages, door prizes and networking opportunities. The event takes place

Monday, Sept. 26 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the centre, at 2 MacNeil Court.

Founded in 1986, the centre has grown exponentially in terms of programs and services offered, staffing, volunteers, and clients served.

While the WOCRC serves all age groups, it has a number of special programs for seniors and adults with a disability.

The Primary Care Outreach to Seniors program works in collaboration with health professionals and other agencies to reduce isolation and support high risk seniors (aged 65 and above) living at home. This seamless care model strives to help improve the overall health of these seniors in order to reduce the number of emergency visits and hospital admissions.

There is also an adult day program. Additionally it offers a foot care clinic and a Meals on Wheels program provides full course hot or frozen pre-packaged meals.

The WOCRC also provides transportation services for a nominal fee for medical and other appointments.

Good food, good entertainment and good company – that is the theme of the weekly Diners Club offered in by the WOCRC in Stittsville, Nepean, Kanata and a number of locations in West Carleton.

Northcote sisters share fears and daydreams under sunny skies The hot sun was beating down on my sister Audrey and me.

We were on our backs in the long grass watching the soft white clouds form and reform in the mostly blue sky above.

It was a favourite pastime for me. Not so much for Audrey, who went along with it because she knew how much I liked to pretend the clouds were little dogs, someone with long flowing white hair, or any number of things I could muster up in my young imagination.

But that day was different. Audrey talked to me just as if I was her best friend Iva. Rarely did my older sister ever include me in serious chat. After all she was years older than I was.

But that afternoon, it was like she had to get off her mind what she was thinking about. “I wish I could see the future,” she said softly. I knew there was more to come.

“I would like to know what I will be doing when I am finished at the Northcote School.”

I looked over at her face. Her eyes were closed. She wasn’t looking at the clouds above us. “I really want to be a nurse. Or a teacher.”

I knew she would make a wonderful teacher. Didn’t she spend hours with me showing me how to knit, embroider, print in my scribbler, and go over my spelling?

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK And as far as being a nurse was concerned, I didn’t know one living soul in all of Renfrew County who had a kinder heart.

She would make a wonderful nurse.

And I could picture her in her uniform, with a nurse’s cap on her brown hair, and a pin on her collar to show the world she had graduated.

Audrey let out the longest sigh. I wanted to get into the conversation and so I reminded her of what our mother always said: “You can do anything you want to do, if you want to do it badly enough.”

I thought that would make Audrey feel better, because she certainly didn’t seem too happy to me. But what I said didn’t seem to make her feel any better.

And I told her I thought she should be a teacher and come back to the Northcote

School when Miss Crosby was too old to teach anymore. “That will never happen,” she said in a voice I could hardly hear.

“Well, what about being a nurse? Now, it’s the last thing I would want to be. I hate blood! But, Audrey, you would make a wonderful nurse.”

She opened her eyes and looked at the soft white clouds moving in the sky, and I was pretty sure I could see that she was trying awfully hard not to cry.

BEAUTIFUL DAY

Why she would be feeling so sad on such a beautiful day was beyond me!

“No, that will never happen,” she said, in a voice so low I could hardly hear her. I wanted to know why. After all, she was smart and I thought she could be anything she wanted to be, and if she wanted to be either a nurse or a teacher, all she would have to do, is go out and do it.

So I asked her why. What would stop her from being either?

“Because there is no money. It costs money to be a nurse, and we could never afford to send me to Teacher’s College. No, I’m afraid I’ll never be either.”

Now, there really were tears. Just gently rolling down her cheeks and into her hair.

I knew if I reached out and touched her, it would cause a flood, so I stayed perfectly still and waited for Audrey to say something else.

Finally, there was a big sigh, and she brushed the back of her hand across her eyes. And she pointed to a huge white cloud above us, and said she thought it looked like someone riding a horse.

I couldn’t see anything that resembled a horse, but I said nothing. Audrey had returned, and that was all that mattered.

But long after we got up and went to do chores, I thought about what Audrey had said. Would that be my fate too?

Was I destined to live out my life on a farm out in the country? And would my sister end up like so many other young girls who finished public school, working at cleaning houses for the rich people in Renfrew or married to another farmer? Was that all could happen to a child of the Depression?

I knew I would not have the answer that day. I knew, like my sister Audrey, only time would determine what the future would hold for both of us, long after the Depression was behind us.

Former West Carleton resident urges support for seniors council

at

Jessica Cunha

Jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Kanata Seniors Council is hoping to attract some fresh blood to its annual general meeting on Monday, Sept. 12.

The council and its programs are open to older adults ages 55 and up. The forum is an opportunity for people to suggest new ideas, give feedback and get involved, said Sarah Trant, well-known former West Carleton residents and president of the council.

“We need your input so we’re giving you what you want,” she said. “This is your council. It is absolutely free; nobody has to pay to join us.”

Trant, 76, is starting her second term as president and has been involved with the council since moving to the area from the Fitzroy-Galetta area in 2009.

The volunteers who keep the council and its many programs running continue to age, she said, and bringing in new, younger seniors is often a challenge.

“The common issue we are all dealing with is we cannot get younger volunteers, the ones in their mid-60s and on,” said Trant. “That’s what I’m trying to encourage – younger members.”

The annual general meeting will briefly discuss the successes of the past year and outline what the council, so far, has planned.

This includes an active Facebook presence, newsletter and revised website.

“We’re not fuddy duddies in the past,” said Trant. “We want to find out what people would like and try to meet their expectations.”

The council – which has around 1,000 people on its mailing list – offers a plethora of programming. Its current events and activities include an annual retirement living fair (this year had a waiting list for vendors and more than 390 people went through in two hours), the Far West Fun Fest event, a din-

“When somebody comes up to you and says, ‘That was a great day out’, there is nothing, nothing that comes close to touching that feeling,” said Trant.

The annual meeting will be held from 11 a.m. to noon at the Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr., followed by refreshments.

Come and see what we’re all about!

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!
