Constance Bay work to be completed by the spring

BY DAVID JOHNSTON

The Constance Bay drainage improvement project will resume after winter, according to City of Ottawa staff.

Part of a $1.9 M program to completes miscellaneous surface drainage improvements at nine locations in the western sector of Ottawa, the project consists of constructing new ditches in Constance Bay at four locations: •Bayview Drive south of Bishop Davis Drive to Ottawa River via Sixth Avenue •Bishop Davis Drive from Bayview Drive to Lane Street to Ottawa River •Sunning Hill Crescent and Stiver Road to Ottawa River including Bayview Drive intersection •Len Purcell Drive from Baldwin Street to Ottawa River including Bayview Drive Intersection.

Carina Duclos, Manager, Design and Construction, Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department,

OttawaCommunityNews.com

said this “project is a ditch / culvert design and construction project to address surface drainage deficiencies at priority locations in Constance Bay. “The project is substantially performed. At this time, the contractor is removing excess construction materials off site,” said Duclos. “The contractor will be returning in the spring to complete deficiencies and minor landscaping work.”

Duclos said the work was intended to alleviate drainage issues along Bayview Drive, particularly where surface water covers the roads during downpours. “Several locations within the area of Constance Bay have poor surface drainage. Most streets within Constance Bay are designed without ditches, sewers, catchbasins or outlets to safely drain stormwater runoff. Stormwater runoff flows into a low point where it ponds to hazardous depths causing surface flooding, road deterioration and in some instances runoff water spills onto private property.

Ditching issues persist Continued from the front

“The purpose of the project was to provide a drainage solution to resolve localised low points within Constance Bay. The cost is approximately $ 550,000.”

Some residents adjacent to the affected areas contend the drainage project fails to recognize water flow issues based on roadway contours and overlooks the natural drainage factor of the sand-based soil in the bay.

In fact, driving along

Bayview during heavy rain last fall revealed water pooling on the road while the new ditches remained empty.

Bayview Drive residents Dan Moscato, Brian Doyle (a retired engineer and project manager) and retired public servant Joceline Cousineau were quoted by the West Carleton Review saying “they have transformed our pristine beaches into an open sewer and there’s more of these to come.”

However, Bayview Drive resident Jim Carruthers, an

engineer by trade, said the drainage system is important to keep properties from flooding during heavy rains and the spring thaw. Other concerns relate to the access point to the popular beach at The Point in Constance Bay. New ditching has reduced the vehicle access and parking.

Ward 5 Coun. Eli El-Chantiry agreed that something has to be done to alleviate public access concerns.

“The engineers say we can’t put culverts there. Maybe we can put metal screen on top.”

“There are multiple beach entrances at this location,” Duclos said.

The Dunrobin and District Womens’ Institute is good at turning thoughts into action.

At the corner of Dunrobin Road and the Thomas Dolan Parkway stands a Christmas tree that with some luck and cooperation from the city of Ottawa could become a Christmas tradition in the area.

Several weeks ago members of the local Womens’ Institute were discussing ways to help their community stay focused on staying connected.

One idea was to put a Christmas tree up at that corner. “Someone mentioned that the intersection was kind of forlorn looking,” said Beth McEwen of the institute.

"We just thought we could put a Christmas tree up there.”

The group ran with the idea.

Their first stop was checking in for some advice from West Carleton Councillor Eli El Chantiry.

His staff pointed the group in the direction of Greg Patacairk the president of the Dunrobin Community Association.

His job was to connect with city staff and figure out how to navigate the rules and regulations regarding putting up Christmas trees on city property.

The lot in question is empty but is owned by the city.

Patacair agreed that the idea was a good one.

“We have the mandate and the insurance to do it,” he said.

The lot had been just sitting there for years and the city believes it will be another 15 years before anything can be done with it.

The lot at the intersection used to be home for a corner store and a gas station, long since removed.

After all the hoops had been cleared to put up the tree the Womens’ Institute went to St. Isadore to purchase a tree and the com-

community wanted to get together and see it through,” said Patacairk.

“We can only have the tree up for six weeks,” said McEwen.

“We would like to continue the tradition every year,” she said.

In the spring the Institute would like to plant a few trees on the vacant lot and maybe put up a park bench.

That particular Dunrobin intersection has a history with long-time residents.

“We can remember when it was a meeting place,” said McEwen.

She remembers how her and her friends used to sit on the steps of the store and eat ice cream.

She feels the Christmas tree is a bright spark in the Dunrobin landscape.

For everything that matters.™

Huntley Centennial Public School shares their Christmas school spirit

BY JOSEPH MORIN

MKT-1232A-C

Members of the WE team at Huntley Centennial Public School raised close to $1,000 in gifts and more than $520 in gift cards this Christmas through their Angel Tree program for Chrysalis House, a women’s shelter in western Ottawa. Left to right are: Grade 7 and 8 teacher Amanda McDonald, Nick Bradley, Holly Szabados, William Ptolemy, Hannah Budau and Camille St-Amand.

The WE team at Huntley Centennial Public School raised close to $1,000 in gifts and more than $520 in gift cards this Christmas season as the school shared their Christmas spirit with Chrysalis House, a women’s shelter in western Ottawa.

The project, called the Angel Tree program, was the first time the entire school body was able to get involved

in such a project.

“The kids have been extremely receptive to the idea,” said Amanda McDonald a Grade 7/8 French immersion teacher at Huntley Centennial. She said the school has been very receptive to the idea.

The project was started eight years ago with just her own class. This Christmas she expanded the program, bringing into it students from the school’s 25 classrooms.

“We have a year-long plan that is

global and local,” she said, adding the focus of plans will be Haiti. “All of our fundraising initiatives are connected to the WE program. Over the school year, we participate in a variety of local and global initiatives. Currently, our angel tree for the Chrysalis House is supporting a local shelter,” she said.

“We just completed our Rafiki fundraising event. This event included selling Rafiki bracelets to all classes.

The cost was $10 per bracelet and half the cost went toward our WE village in Haiti. Our total sales were $1,630 and it was a huge success. Half of the funds will support families in Haiti to help them build a better future.” Chrysalis House – a 25-bed shelter where women can bring their dependents for protection from violence and abuse – is run by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. It is open to any self-identified woman and her dependents.

In the past, students in McDonald’s class have donated toys, school supplies, games, clothing, gift cards and everyday essentials. They’ve donated to Angels who have children ranging in age from infant to teenager.

Members of the WE team are very aware of the need to help those children who might not have a great deal to look forward to Christmas morning.

The team spent time motivating their classmates and helping them understand the need they were trying to address in the community. This week they will help load up all of the Christmas goodies and drop them off at the shelter.

McDonald suggested that the school-wide Angel Tree program could become a great annual tradition at the school. She said the amount of giving by students was wonderful.

All of us join in wishing our friends, clients and neighbours a wonderful holiday season and a happy, prosperous New Year.

OPINION

Connected to to your your community community Connected

Kids are the true stars of Christmas

I

n a world in which bad news often overwhelms the good, it is so easy to be cynical.

But at this time of year, with Christmas fast approaching, it is always a good idea to retreat back to basics and there is nothing more basic than the joy and wonder that can be seen in the faces of our future during the holiday season — the faces of our kids.

As adults there is always something we can find to whine and moan about at this time of year— it’s too cold, there’s too much snow, our credit card bills are burying us under an avalanche of debt. As adults, we can always find something to turn into a ‘woe is us’ moment.

We need to remember how we felt when we were as young as our kids, and recall the excitement of knowing we’ll soon be gathering with our families, as we await the arrival of Santa and the joy that comes from gathering around a Christmas tree to share in the joy of not receiving, but of giving.

At this time of year stories like that of Richmond’s Mariela Harkins, an eight-year-old girl, truly embrace the spirit of the season.

Back in August when Mariela’s birthday was approaching she decided to be Santa’s little

helper instead of thinking of all the goodies she could get for herself on her birthday. She didn’t ask for birthday gifts, but asked friends and family to provide donations of toys for the Stocking Project, a three-year old initiative to fill stockings for people in need over the holidays.

What she was able to collect though her efforts — in the grand scheme of things not a staggering amount — was about $500 worth of items. The total is not important, the act is.

“She knows some children don’t have a lot and she wants other children to be happy at Christmas time,” her mom Laura told Metroland Media. “We’re very proud of how thoughtful and generous she’s been.”

Mariela’s parents should be proud of her efforts, as should our whole city. We should be proud that kids such as Mariela is but just one example of the many similar efforts that show us all what the true meaning of Christmas should be. From all of us at Metroland Media, to all our readers, have a truly special Christmas with your families, and please follow in Mariela’s footsteps and remember the true joy of the season is in giving of ourselves to help create a better community for all of us.

Let’s offer a helping hand to others this winter

I

n our white collar society, where the normal challenge is slow WiFi or limited parking, we don’t get much of a chance to be heroic.

That’s probably why we welcome the first big snow.

Most of us do, anyway. We’ll talk later about people who don’t.

You can tell the people welcome it. They have big smiles when they arrive at the office, telling tales of the adversity they overcame. Big drifts at the end of the driveway after the plow came the second time.

An hour’s drive in to work on a route that normally takes half that.

They are beaming because they have triumphed.

They are heroes. Just got the snow tires on last week: good thing! The neighbour came by

Later, as we get used to it, as a week of snow turns into a month, turns into two, the smiles fade.

As Canadians, we take our triumphs where we can. We don’t push other countries around. We don’t have the tallest mountains or the whitest beaches. We don’t even win the Stanley Cup any more. But we have snow and we can handle it.

In Ottawa, we take pride in how well the road crews do their work, getting rid of the snow in a hurry, clearing the streets. When a winter storm cripples some normally warm part of the States, we smirk as we watch the cars not moving on the Interstate.

In the Christmas cards we send to friends in southern places, we brag about this. Eight inches dropped overnight. There’s three feet on the ground.

Dropped down to minus-15 last night. But it doesn’t bother us.

We’re still getting around. How is

it down there? Still playing golf ?

It’s even better when this happens around Christmas. Sure, it’s easier dragging the tree back to the house when it’s dry and warm, but where’s the fun in that?

Where’s the story to tell? Where’s the snow all over the carpet?

Where’s the sense of superiority over those who live in warm places all year?

For Canadians to be truly superior, however, we need to do a better job of looking after our fellow citizens for whom there is no easy escape from the climate.

Homeless people can’t smile at winter, the way many of the rest of us do. They can’t escape it as easily. They can’t just go inside and turn up the heat. They won’t be at the mall buying the Digital Santa package for their kids.

All kinds of excuses have been

‘Spectacular’ light and fire show planned for New Year’s Eve

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The New Year will begin with a bang and set the tone for other events to follow in 2017, says Guy Laflamme, executive director of Ottawa 2017.

Laflamme outlined a number of large-scale events planned throughout the city to celebrate Canada’s 150th at the Beaverbrook library branch in Kanata on Dec. 8.

“Our plan with 2017 is to spark our imagination and inspire our future,” he said. “I don’t think people will see our city the same way after 2017.”

It begins on New Year’s Eve with the lighting of

a “spectacular” cauldron – a three-dimensional rendering of the Ottawa 150 logo – in front of city hall at 6:15 p.m., he said.

The fire from the lit cauldron will then travel about 800 metres along a human chain of hundreds of Ottawa youths holding torches to relight the Centennial Flame – which will turn 50 years old on Dec. 31 – in front of Parliament Hill.

“We’re going to create an almost one kilometre stretch of light and fire between the grounds of city hall and Parliament Hill,” said Laflamme. “Just imagine the spectacular stretch of light and fire on Elgin Street.”

At 20:17 (8:17 p.m.), the Governor General will reignite the Centennial Flame with the fire from

the city. The federal government will then host a 20-minute “musical pyro” show on the Hill followed by live music, more fireworks at midnight and a DJ set until 1 a.m.

“What we will do is complementary to what the federal government will do in our city,” said Laflamme.

He said his team is responsible for 120 “major productions” that will take place throughout 2017.

These include music events, sound and light shows, cultural performances, sporting events and more.

“This is not only about the downtown core,” said Laflamme, adding events will take place “across the city in all wards.”

The gym was buzzing with School Council and parent volunteers clearing and setting tables for dinner of homemade chili, pizza, popcorn and homebaking for the 1000 students, family members and staff that show up every year, regardless of the weather. The outside bonfire kept people warm who were waiting for their sleigh ride through the snow, and they could also view the stage area to enjoy their child’s performance.

Donated Christmas trees set up around the stage area, looked beautiful, decorated with lights and newly frosted with snow from the day.

Inside the gym, families could come and go with a variety of activity options, besides eating including buying homemade Christmas cards and even visiting with Santa and Mrs. Claus. The joy of Christmas is alive and well at St. Michael Corkery.

Tis the Season and everybody longs for love and happiness specifically at this time of year. If your life is “so lala� and deep down you long for true happiness, peace and wholeness, our Heilkunst treatment is just what the Doctor ordered. The best gift is help turning a patients life around. So was it with a dear patient of mine, let’s call her Mrs “TS�.

When she originally started her treatment, she was very unhappy, emotionally numb and chronically frustrated. Mrs “TS� was just going through the motions and ready to walk away from her marriage. You could hear her negativity and resignation in her voice in every word she spoke. Over time, her energy felt became lighter and her “illhumoured� remarks were replaced by easy laughter and loving compassion. This week she beamed from ear to ear telling me, that she has found her peace again. Often she feels gratitude in little things and finds her eyes welling up full of joy. Her new life with her husband is committed, stable and enjoying a deep emotional connection, which they celebrate with regular “date nights�. Mrs “TS� who is in her early sixties, says: I feel like a child again, I’m full of joy and pride and I look forward to each and every day. I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for me!� Well, that’s a true Christmas gift for her and me and I’m sure also for everyone she touches with her deep love and compassionate heart. Money can’t buy this feeling. Everybody deserves to be happy and we all long for a true, deep and respectful connection with our partner.

I’d be honoured to help YOU reach your desires too. Make your desires a reality!

Three taken to hospital after three-vehicle crash near Kanata Three people were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries after a three-vehicle collision on Highway 417 near Kanata on Dec. 16.

An unlatched hood caused the crash, which happened near the Terry Fox Drive onramp around 10 a.m. and slowed motorists’ morning commute.

The hood of the first vehicle

“flew open, blocking the driver’s view,” said OPP Const. Guy Prévost. “The driver stopped in a live lane causing a collision with two other vehicles behind it.”

Prévost couldn’t say which vehicle or vehicles the injured were in since that information hadn’t been filed by attending officers.

The cold winter weather did not stop participants at the St. Michael School in Corkery from continuing on with their annual winter tradition last week on Thursday, Dec. 15.

Inside the gym, families could come and go with a variety of activity options, besides eating including buying homemade Christmas cards and even visiting with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

The warmth of a hug at Christmas

inter is feeling extra Canadian this year. Our waterproof, chill-proof boots and coats are being tested, and we find ourselves searching for that extra-warm pair of mittens and favourite toque.

The snow is piling up in an insulating shield around the barn, keeping the cows cozy inside. Unfortunately the ground frost has frozen the water to the barn.

As in the winter of 2015, we have to string lengths of heavy-duty garden hose together reaching from the house to half-barrels placed just over the barnyard fence.

There the cows will shove and jostle for position so they can get their 5 to 7 gallons per day. The water barrels have to be filled several times, until the beasts’ thirst is quenched. This has to be done twice a day until, hopefully, the water foun-

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife tain in the barn thaws out.

If my father were still alive, he would be out in the garage, revving up his Yamaha, in anticipation of snowmobile trails opening.

The smell of diesel fuel and the sound of the sleds ripping down the trail always bring back vivid memories of Dad in his puffy suit and helmet.

Skiers are no doubt hitting the trails and slopes over the holidays, enjoying every cumulative inch of the fluffy white stuff. Even the bitter cold is welcomed by those who rely on it to finish up the ice on their backyard

skating rinks. A truly Canadian winter is here, just in time for Christmas.

This weekend we will gather with our family to celebrate another year of blessings.

We will also be comforting those in our extended family who have lost a loved one just over a week ago.

Suddenly I am back in that hospital room, losing my own father all over again.

At times the pain is as fresh as it was in 2008 – and tears so easily take me by surprise.

But the loss has taken on a dull shade now, and

the happy memories rise up to the top. Dad’s spirit will be with us as we gather for Christmas and watch our newest family member open her gifts.

I bumped into an acquaintance recently in a store. She lost her husband this year – and though neither of them were close friends of mine, because we have both lost someone dear, we have that in common.

She showed me the book of photographs she was working on for her family, and her eyes filled up with tears.

As I gave her a hug, I remembered someone saying the hugger shouldn’t determine the length of the hug. It should go on until the recipient lets go.

And so we hugged there, for nearly a minute, in the Walmart photo lab. It’s a simple thing but the transfer of energy is quite amazing.

You can almost feel the serotonin rushing through your body.

I’m going to take the time to give out and receive a few more hugs than usual this Christmas. It’s the gift that gives back – and it doesn’t cost a dime.

As 2017 looms on the snow-squall horizon, my new book project waits in the wings. It has been waiting for several years, for this moment.

Now that I am between fulltime gigs, I need to focus on getting the thoughts and memories of my three years in Asia up on the computer screen. I sit at my desk in the den and look out at the snow-covered pasture, free of distractions. Chickadees and jays flutter at the bird feeder.

I try to remember the sounds and smells of Taipei – the clatter of a traffic jam, the hum of the subway, the sing-song language,

the sweet scent of barbecued pork, the pungent odour of fermented tofu.

The beer fridge behind me goes through its crashing cacophony and disturbs my train of thought.

The furnace echoes with a clunk and a bang. The cats chase each other, playing hockey with a fallen tree ornament. I will go through some old photographs to help me focus. Memories line themselves up and ask to be turned into stories.

It’s as good a time as any, to get this writing done.

Wishing you and your family plenty of time to focus on the things that you enjoy most.

The heat of a wood stove, meals made with love, and the occasional squeeze of a bear hug. Merry Christmas, from the Fisher Farm. dianafisher1@gmail.com theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com

Snowmobilers take to the trails with early snowfall

BY DAVID JOHNSTON

Winter didn’t wait for the calendar this year and local snowmobilers couldn’t be happier. A popular activity throughout West Carleton, snowmobile trails criss-cross the area, through forest, farmland and across the Ottawa River after freeze up.

For safety’s sake and to avoid trespassing on private property, the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) cautions snowmobilers to keep their sleds parked and stay off OFSC trails because they are not yet open. For updates on trail status across Ontario, the OFSC recommends that snowmobilers visit the Interactive Trail Guide at www.ofsc.on.ca to confirm trail availability prior to accessing a trail. Snowmobilers are required to have a permit to drive on trails managed by the OFSC. For the first time, 2017 snowmobile permits can only be purchased online from the OFSC at http://www.ofsc.on.ca. They are now available and provide access to over 30,000 km of trails in Ontario.

“Buying your permit online offers you improved flexibility on when and where you buy and enhanced security of your personal and financial information.

Additionally, buying online reduces the workload for our volunteers and ensures snowmobile clubs have access to the monies they require to provide exceptional riding and club experiences all season long,” according to the OFSC website.

The ‘Buy Where You Ride’ initiative encourages

snowmobilers to purchase trail permits from the club on whose trails they will ride most often.

The fees are used to maintain trails and to negotiate right of way on private property. When buying online, snowmobilers can select their local club buy accessing the Club Locator.

A seasonal permit is $260 while a Classic Permit (sled year 1999 or older) is $170. A Multi-Day (2- consecutive-day minimum) is $35 per day.

In West Carleton, snowmobile enthusiasts are already active, particularly on trails that traverse Constance Bay and the Torbolton Forest.

Ottawa Ward 5 Councillor Eli El-Chantiry is an avid snowmobiler who often enjoys a day on the trails.

He warns all who use the trails to respect the environment and the safety of others.

“I have to confess I really love

snowmobiling. Just to go for a few hours with friends and be in nature.

I constantly remind snowmobilers in our area to follow the rules. Ride with a buddy. Get a membership and permit. Then make sure you have insurance and registration of your snowmobile. The trail associations need support to continue with grooming.”

Snowmobiling can be abused, warns El-Chantiry.

“Machines today have more horsepower than most cars and go very fast. Mixing snowmobiling with alcohol is a recipe for disaster. I don’t like people who drink on a snowmobile. You need to know where you are, you have to respect the trail.

Some people think they can avoid drinking and driving charges while on a snowmobile and use the machine to party.

It’s dangerous and it annoys

residents when sleds are running late at night. They will get in trouble.”

El-Chantiry says all snowmobilers have a responsibility to put safety first.

“Enjoy the sport, but follow the rules. Respect the speed limit on trails and roadways. If you don’t have a permit, chances are you don’t have insurance. The City could shut down the trails if people don’t obey the laws.”

He also points out that trails are not exclusive to snowmobiles.

“We have to share them with people who are walking and skiing. We have to respect each other on the trails. We have a beautiful forest but no one should not have to worry about vehicles on trails. The trail is not a speedway either.”

The posted speed limit on trails is 50 km/hr while the roads in Constance Bay are only 40 km/hr maximum.

Your green, black and blue bins are ready to meet all your holiday recycling needs. Turkey carcass and other food scraps like peelings, shells, cores and bones, all belong in the green bin. It’s also ideal for soiled paper plates and cold fireplace ashes. You can use discarded paper gift wrapping to wrap your food waste or to line your green bin. Your black box can be used to get rid of empty cardboard boxes and used paper wrapping, while the blue box can handle your plastics and glass.

During the holiday season, there will be schedule changes to city services including garbage, green bin and recycling collection. A detailed list of changes are posted on ottawa.ca Starting the first week of 2017, Christmas trees will be collected on your regular scheduled collection day. Please remove all decorations.

Students and staff from St. Isidore Catholic School drop off almost 5,000 plastic bags the Metro grocery store on March Road on Dec. 10.

A ‘Take it Back’ program recycles plastic bags so the item doesn’t end up in landfills. Top from left: Emily Nightingale, Krista Philip, Metro manager Cathy Sine and St. Isidore principal Caroline O’Connor. From bottom left: Miles Nightingale, Weston Grenier, Noah Hughes, Haydn Horsley, Katie Bastien, Sofia Covelli, Brooke Grenier, Matteo D’Arsie and Mitchell Evans.

St. Isidore school takes action against plastic St. Isidore Catholic School in north Kanata has developed a passion to keep the world clean and students and staff are taking the initiative to reduce plastic in landfills and raise awareness about its negative effects.

Ottawa does not have the facilities to properly recycle plastic grocery bags. This means the bags end up in landfills where they leach toxins and take up to 1,000 years to decompose.

There is good news, however.

There are “Take it Back” partners throughout the city where plastic bags can be dropped off and recycled properly. As a “Take it Back” partner, the Metro grocery store on March Road is supporting St. Isidore in its initiative to reduce plastic and raise awareness.

The grocer has provided St. Isidore with 1,000 paper bags to help raise awareness of the negative effects of plastic. Students, from kindergarten to Grade 6, have been doing research on plastic and communicating their knowledge through words and pictures on the paper bags.

Students collected almost 5,000 plastic bags to ensure that they did not end up in the landfill. Some of the students met on Saturday, Dec. 10, at the Metro to drop off the bags to be recycled.

The students, staff and community of St. Isidore wants everyone to know that plastic grocery bags can be recycled if dropped off at a “Take it Back” partner. Visit Ottawa.ca for a list of partners.

I’d like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a holiday season filled with joy, love, and peace.

Carp Santa Claus Parade

Thank you to all the people who came out to watch the Huntley Santa Claus Parade. I had a wonderful time walking the parade route with my team, handing out chocolates to the little ones (and those still young at heart), and chatting with those who lined the parade route. It was such a beautiful sunny December Saturday for the parade, and I was so happy to see so many warm, friendly faces come out to celebrate the day. A big thank you to those who brought out donations to the food bank.

Boots on the Ground

29

For the fourth time I had the opportunity to walk with the incredible volunteers who came out to support VETS Canada in their monthly “Boots on the Ground” walk. Boots on the Ground brings together volunteers, who, in teams, walk through the streets and local shelters, in search of homeless Veterans in need of assistance. The organization’s charity is not limited exclusively to Veterans, as volunteers often spend most of their time talking with the homeless, giving out blankets, and offering support to try and facilitate a transition from a life on the streets to a better future.

That Saturday night, a week before Christmas, I was sure I had my answer. It was going to be a big night and supper was rushed through, the kitchen redded up in jig time and we five children were dressed in our next-tobest clothes.

We would be going to Briscoes’ General Store where Mr. Briscoe handed out candy canes to everyone who came through the door, then off to church to sing carols and have hot chocolate and cookies, and maybe stop at a neighbour’s on the way home if there were was a light burning in a window, which was always an invitation to drop in.

MARY COOK

Jack MacLaren

y sister Audrey said I asked too many questions for which there were no answers. But didn’t she know everything? Wasn’t she the smartest pupil at the Northcote School? At least, I thought so. I wanted to know why I thought the happiest month of the year was December. Christmas was in December. My birthday was in December, which really didn’t mean anything because Mother said it was too close to Christmas to celebrate with anything more than a cake, and with extra expenses that month, there simply wasn’t enough left over for a present.

And Emerson, my mischievous brother was especially good because it was a known fact Santa would fly right over our house without as much as a ‘by your leave’ if anyone was naughty in December.

And I asked Audrey if that was enough reason for me to like December better than any other month of the year. She just sighed and told

clear sky, looking like someone had painted them on a post card. You couldn’t hear the horses hooves in the fresh snow, only the soft crunching of the sleigh runners cutting through the drifts along the Northcote Side Road. And the sleigh bells, of course. Both horses had on bells and I was sure I could hear Christmas carols and old church hymns, as we ploughed through the snow heading home. How I loved the sound of the bells, hanging loosely around the horse’s necks.

It was a bitterly cold night, but not too cold for Father to tuck his chin into the collar of his coat and put a match to his pipe and soon I could smell the home-cut tobacco, laced with molasses, and turning my head a tad, I could see the red in the bowl.

And I put my head on Father’s shoulder and felt the most wonderful warmth that had nothing to do with the fur blanket holding us tight, or the wool scarf wrapped around my face.

Then Mother started to sing. Softly at first and then when Audrey joined in, their voices rang out as clear as bells and I was sure I could see the face in the moon smile down on all of us on that night in December.

I tried not to cry, but the sheer joy of the warmth on that sleigh flooded over me and I could feel a tear slide down into the scarf covering my face.

Not a tear of sadness, but of the utmost happiness.

And then I knew. It was on that cold night a week before Christmas that I knew why December was my favourite month of the year.

Audrey was right after all.

It took the magic of a special night when finally, I could figure it out for myself.

To all my faithful readers I send my warmest Christmas wishes and gratitude.

And may each of you enjoy this special time of year with loved ones around you.

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you and may the coming year be one of good health and happiness.

KNL tree cutting can begin

BY JESSICA CUNHA

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Tree cutting could begin before Christmas on the Kanata Lakes North Development Group’s lands in the South March Highlands.

KNL Development has received an “overall benefit permit” from the Ministry of Natural Resources that allows them to remove trees for phases 7 and

8, encompassing about 75 to 100 hectares of land. The city has also granted permission to cut.

“I’m sad about it,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who estimated the work would involve about 100 hectares of land. “The city has given permission to take down all the trees, except along any on cityowned land – they have to leave six metres of trees on their property.”

The timing for the tree cutting hasn’t been announced but it could begin as early as this week, Wilkinson said.

Jack Stirling, consultant for KNL Development, said the group is working through the conditions set forth by the ministry before work can begin.

“The actual start date hasn’t been identified yet,” said Stirling on Dec.

12. “We received the permit about a week ago today and we are working through the conditions.”

Stirling estimated the work would comprise about 75 hectares of treed land.

CONDITIONS

When KNL applied for the overall benefit permit earlier this year, the submission drew alarm from residents because “It sounds like you’re actually killing off everything,” Wilkinson said previously. KNL had to prove to the ministry is would achieve an “overall benefit” for the threatened species, which is being achieved through a list of conditions that spans 23 pages.

The permit alters KNL’s original submission slightly, and allows the developer to: • remove up to 110 and harm up to four Butternut trees, as well as damage and destroy up to 140 hectares of Butternut habitat; • kill, harm and harass Blanding’s turtles (listed as a threatened species) and destroy up to 124 hectares of Blanding’s turtle habitat; • kill, harm and harass Least bitterns (a small heron listed as a threatened species) to construct the stormwater management infrastructure to service the development.

A number of conditions outlined in the permit to protect trees, animals and identified threatened species must be met before work can begin.

According to the permit, KNL must implement protection measures for the entire duration of construction for trees that are to remain in the area.

Ten Butternut trees must be kept in open space blocks.

This includes working under the guidance of an arborist, erecting fences around trees that aren’t to be cut

down, and ensuring exhaust fumes from equipment are directed away from the tree canopy.

As well, a site visit by a city forester to check the fencing has to take place before tree cutting begins. A site supervisor has to be present for the duration of the tree cutting to make sure retained trees are not removed.

Wildlife mitigation measures must also be implemented, including helping them move, which includes those in hibernation “if they can find them,” said Wilkinson. “Smaller animals that hibernate, like porcupines, they have ways to move them if they find them in time.”

KNL is required to create six new nesting areas for Blanding’s turtles, erect fencing and take other measures to protect the reptile. The developer must also create a minimum of two new ponds to either side of Shirley’s Brook to function as a place for species to hibernate and as a habitat for Blanding’s turtles and Least bittern.

Under the permit, KNL is required to meet certain deadlines for specific work, which is why the tree cutting needs to take place soon, said Wilkinson. Turtle exclusion fencing must be in place before March 15, a special barrier that keeps turtles away from the road. Clearing must halt between April 15 and Aug. 15 for bird nesting season, “unless a qualified biologist has determined that no bird nesting is occurring within five days prior to the clearing,” says the city’s permit.

KNL has to also realign a portion of Shirley’s Brook before July 1.

“We have time frames we have to work around,” said Stirling.

With approvals for tree clearing for phases 7 and 8, Stirling said KNL is likely “a couple of years away from getting their final approvals,” for the residential construction.

PHASE 9, ROAD AND DRAINAGE

20 West Carleton Review - Thursday, December 22, 2016

R0013661694-0128

Work to prepare the phase 9 area has already taken place as trees were removed in that area in 2011 and 2012. KNL hopes to have final approval in place early next year to begin the residential build.

“We’re hoping to have our final approvals for stage 9 … in place for the spring,” said Stirling.

Before that, KNL will begin work on drainage and construction on Goulbourn Forced Road in the new year.KNL entered into a front-ending agreement with the city for the work on Goulbourn Forced Road and the final drawings are going through the approval process, Stirling said.

Road construction, drainage and tree clearing “will probably be undertaken in the same time frame,” he said. Goulbourn Forced Road will be closed for a period of two to five months while the work is underway, said Wilkinson. “There will be a period of disruption while this is going on,” said the councillor.

For more information on the permit and other documents on the KNL lands, visit Ottawa.ca/devapps and search “300 Goulbourn Forced Road.”

Four-building development planned for Innovation

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A new four-building development is being proposed for Innovation Drive in north Kanata.

The site, located at 5045 Innovation Dr., would feature a gas station, two quickservice restaurants, and a

third restaurant or retail store. A site plan hasn’t yet been submitted to the city.

Kelly Rhodenizer, manager of development projects with Colonnade BridgePort, gave a brief outline of the project at a Kanata north town hall meeting on Nov. 28.

“We hope to file (a site

plan) in December and if all goes well, we plan to start construction late spring, early summer,” she said.

The 0.8 hectare parcel of land was purchased from the city and is located at the corner of Innovation and Terry Fox Drive.

The gas station would have four pumps and a

drive-thru, while one of the quick-service restaurants will also have a drive-thru, said Rhodenizer. No tenants have been announced for any of the buildings. Pedestrian and cycling links have been designed to connect the new park-and-ride lot located on Innovation Drive with the employment area, Morgan’s

Grant and the Richcraft Recreation Complex.

“The city has asked us to move the buildings closer to the streets and provide connectivity with pathways,” said Rhodenizer.

All four buildings will be single-storey and the area is already zoned for general industrial, which permits

the proposed uses, she said.

Three handicap spaces are allocated throughout the parking areas, even though only one is required by the zoning bylaw, said Rhodenizer.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said the final site plan that’s submitted to the city could change from the proposed outline.

Village of Carp is a friendly community and a growing concern

BY DAVID JOHNSTON

Time was when Carp was only known for the Agricultural Fair, Farmers’ Market and the Diefenbunker Cold War Museum.

Though those attractions still dominate the landscape and social calendar, Carp is also fast becoming a sought after residential community.

Recently dubbed Canada’s friendliest community by Expedia.ca, Carp has a unique combination of country living only minutes from West Ottawa. It is just a short drive to a wide variety of shopping centres, theatres, restaurants and the new National Defence building on Moodie Drive.

Due to its close proximity to Ottawa, particularly the hightech corridor of Kanata, Carp is rapidly growing with new residential development, commercial enterprises and more.

Perched on the edge of the Carp Ridge, a geological fault and conversation area, the hills and Carp River add to the beauty and serenity of the surrounding landscape.

Carp lies in the Township of Huntley, the western-most ward of Ottawa. The resident population as of 2012 was es-

timated at 2000 but that number continues to increase. Carp has been a major agricultural centre since the 1800s, with the Carp Agricultural Society and annual Carp Agricultural Fair dating back to 1863.

The Carp Farmer’s Market, opened in 1990, is held every Saturday from April/May to October on the Fair Grounds, attracting regular visitors from all over the Ottawa region and Quebec A major building project underway in Carp is to create a multi-storey ‘retirement campus’ in the centre of the Village.

Under the banner, “Retire in Carp” the centre’s promotional information says it will include an assortment of new shops, dining, and services.

The centre is slated to house as many as 140 seniors benefiting from supported living services while fully participating in Carp village life. Locally owned and professionally managed, the state-of-the-art retirement campus is being developed by Carp Retirement Properties and is scheduled to open in 2018.

Residents will enjoy modern resort-style living at an architecturally pleasing address close to shopping, cafés,

Carp residents Greg LeBlanc and Sallie Storey started planning the retirement residence, as well as some additional residential and commercial space, in 2007. The idea was a result of The Community Design Plan for the Village of Carp

which highlighted both a lack of seniors housing and a need for revitalization of the village core.

After significant consultation with members of the community, as well as industry experts, Greg and Sallie decided to go ahead and they began to assemble parcels of land for the

project in the heart of the village.

The first properties they acquired were the Anglican Church Rectory and an adjoining lot on Carp Road. Working with a dedicated team of architects, engineers, industry specialists and construction managers, The Rectory at Carp was

completed in 2012, and is now home to Alice’s Village Café.

Well-respected Ottawa housing developer Phoenix Homes is also helping to expand the residential façade of Carp, offering spacious estates in Carp at Diamondview Estates.

Nestled at the intersection of March Road and Diamond View Road, Diamondview Estates features wide, 50 and 60 foot lots with picturesque country landscapes.

Diamond View Estates will be Ottawa’s first official gated community, at prices well below comparable property in the city. Available for purchase soon, homes are to be ready by fall 2017.

“Phoenix quality home construction will feature two and three-car garage single-family models on beautifully landscaped, wide lots,” says VicePresident Rahul Kochar.

“Buyers love Carp because of its proximity to all of the major amenities in Kanata: from movie theatres to grocery stores, and boutiques to restaurants, everything you need is only a short drive away. As a bonus, you gain the serenity and peacefulness that comes from living outside of the typical dense suburbs.”

Council passes 2017 budget unanimously

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s budget sailed through city council unanimously on Dec. 14, despite some councillors raising major concerns about policing in the city and the lack of an audit being conducted into the first stage of the light rail project.

Mayor Jim Watson referred to the budget as a balanced approach to the city’s finances.

There were few surprises, as the budget stuck to the two per cent annual property tax increase that Watson has touted as his target since being elected.

The budget also includes a 2.5 per cent hike in the transit

levy, as well as an extra $2 for garbage disposal. Water rates will go up by five per cent.

Those fee hikes will cost the average homeowner an extra $72 on a home valued at $395,400.

TRANSIT

The city also approved a low-income transit pass, which will be offered to residents whose household income is under the low-income cut off as established by Statistics Canada. The pass is estimated to cost the city $2.7 million. The cost of the pass will be half that of a regular adult transit pass.

A regular adult pass will be bumped up to $113.75 from

$105.75, and starting in January the higher cost express pass will be eliminated.

POLICE

The police budget’s details got the most attention, prompting three councillors to vote against it. Most of the concerns were around the nature of policing and planned changes to the police service delivery model.

The police budget will increase by $8.9 million to $320.2 million. For the average homeowner that equals $11.

Given the record breaking number of homicides in the past year and uncertainly over

who is footing the bill for policing of Canada 2017 events in the city that will mark the nation’s 150th birthday, many councillors felt the police budget was too optimistic.

Police Chief Charles Bordeleau said he isn’t hitting the panic button and that 22 homicides in a year will be the city’s new normal.

“It’s very important for me and my community that officers are in the community, working proactively,” Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said, expressing reservations about the police services’ new delivery model.

“The new model will mean we know less about what’s happening with the communi-

ty,” she said. “We will only deploy when a neighbourhood is in trouble.”

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper urged the police chief to ask for more officers next year if the department can’t handle the workload.

“We can’t arrest our way out of the problem,” Bordeleau said, adding Ottawa isn’t unique in experiencing an increase in violent crimes.

Bay Coun. Mark Taylor said that the solution to some of the problems with crime don’t always come from more officers on the street.

“We need new players,” he said.

NO LRT LAND DEAL AUDIT

A push by Coun. Diane Deans for an audit of land acquisitions for the first phase of the city’s light rail project was shot down by an 18-6 vote. Watson chided Deans for what he called her “lastminute” motion. “The chairs of the audit committee, FEDCO (finance and economic development committee) and the Mayor’s office didn’t get the motion beforehand,” he said. Deans said she did provide the motion to the mayor’s chief of staff.

“It’s not as if I haven’t shared my concern with the lack of audits around LRT for over a year,” she added. “I was just completely ignored.”

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names, They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright Won’t you drive my sleight tonight?”

Then now the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You’ll go down in history.”

JINGLE BELLS

James Pierpont

Dashing thro’ the snow In a one horse open sleigh, O’er the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight!

(Refrain) Jingle bells, Jingle bells!

Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh!

A day or two ago I thought I’d take a ride, And soon Miss Fannie Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seem’d his lot He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got up-sot.

Now the ground is white, Go it while you’re young, Take the girls tonight, And sing the sleighing song.

Just get a bob-tailed nag, Two forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack! you’ll take the lead.

IT CAME UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR

Arthur Seymour Sullivan Edmund Hamilton Sears

It came upon a midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold:“Peace on earth, goodwill to men, From heaven’s all-gracious King!”

The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come. With peaceful wings unfurled: And still their heavenly music floats O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing.

And ever o’er its Babel Sounds The blessed angels sing.

And ye, beneath life’s crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing.

For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever circling years

Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.

DECK THE HALLS

Welsh

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la la. ’Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la la.

Troll the ancient Yuletide carole, Fa la la la la la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la la.

Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la la.

38 West Carleton Review - Thursday, December 22, 2016

What a roller-coaster ride this month’s temperatures have provided! On more than one occasion we’ve experienced temperatures more typical of late January. Last year was so different, with above seasonal temperatures lasting right through Boxing Day. Those temperatures kept local water unfrozen, resulting in a number of new water birds being recorded on Boxing Day’s annual Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count. With most local water now frozen, it is unlikely that any new waterfowl will be tallied on this year’s count.

Last year’s new birds included Red-throated Loon, Rednecked Grebe, Double-crested Cormorant, and Lesser Blackbacked Gull. While you might suspect the warmth was why these birds lingered, temperature was only indirectly linked to their presence. The real reason was unfrozen water; sub-zero temperatures actually pose little problem for those and most other birds.

Like Black-capped Chickadees and other “regulars” that remain

here all winter, aquatic birds are kept warm by their feathers. Just as we put on two layers (a heavy parka and thermal underwear) for warmth when going outside in winter, birds also put on two coats. Their outer one consists of contour feathers that are bulkier and denser than the feathers worn in summer. And next to their skin lies a thick layer of heat-trapping down.

The outer feathers of aquatic birds are especially dense, which keeps water away from the down and their skin. As anyone who has had a down coat or sleeping bag knows, wet down is very difficult to dry. Thus, it is

Michael Runtz Photo

The feathers of these Mallards and male Northern Pintail, recently photographed in the Rideau River at Carleton University, keep them not only warm but also dry. essential that aquatic birds never have water penetrate their outer coat.

Ducks also waterproof their feathers with a mixture of waxes and oils. This is done when they preen, which can be two dozen

times a day. The waterproofing material comes from a gland situated above the base of their tail, a gland they access with their bills and faces.

But not all body parts are so well insulated. Their feet lack feathers yet they get immersed in frigid water and make contact with ice. If our feet were in similar situations, they would soon turn black and fall off. But those of ducks (and other water birds such as grebes and gulls) do not; they do just fine because of a special structure in the upper part of the legs.

Here, the main arteries and veins branch out and wrap around each other, forming a net. This “rete mirabile” or “wonderful net” is a heat exchanger in which arteries delivering blood to the feet lose heat to veins carrying cold blood from the feet back to the heart. When new blood arrives at a duck’s foot, it is only a few degrees above zero. This lowers the difference between the extremity’s temperature and that of the outside environment, which lowers the amount of heat loss. In summer, blood is diverted away from the net, allowing hot blood to reach the feet so body heat can be expelled.

For ducks in winter, having cold feet is a good thing. For some of us, it can be a good thing too! If you want to keep track of your feeder birds or participate in the Boxing Day Bird Count (some skill is involved), please contact me.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, December 22, 2016 39

Budget passed buy city Continued from page 29

The city treasurer expressed concern that should the land deals become public, it could drive prices up for phase two of LRT. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said there’s no market hysteria that could take place and drive up land prices.

“We revert to expropriation, also known as land value,” he said. “Have we not learned anything from Orgaworld? We are saying, ‘don’t even show us.’ Who does the public have then?”

Watson called the notion that a leak of land deals involving stage one of LRT wouldn’t affect future deals

“ridiculous.”

The budget is the result of an attempt to build consensus, Watson said, and has an extra $150,000 for an arts momentum fund, as well as $610,000 for the city’s 94 social services agencies and another $500,000 will go to Canada 2017 celebrations in the city.

ARNPRIOR'S HISTORIC THEATRE

This handsome boy is Malcolm.

Malcolm was brought in as a stray, he has had a rough life and was having difficulty finding food.

He is a quiet, affectionate cat, he can be a bit shy in new situations but loves attention.

Malcolm gets along well with other cats and would be best suited in a quiet adult home.

Please consider giving this sweet guy a home for Christmas.

Arnprior Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption.

Featured animals are adopted quickly!

Santa’s helper donates $500 in toys to the Stocking Project JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Eight-year-old Mariela Harkins has been playing Santa’s little helper since August.

The Richmond girl didn’t ask for gifts for her birthday on Aug. 23, but instead asked friends and family to provide donations of toys for the Stocking Project, a three-year old initiative to fill stockings for people in need over the holidays.

Mariela collected stuffed animals, balls, hockey sticks, dinosaurs and ponies, markers, craft items, necklaces and purses.

The hundreds of items – more than $500 worth – overflowed the table set up at the Stocking Project’s headquarters at the Hazeldean Mall where the young elf delivered the goods on Dec. 12.

“I wanted to do this for (the) kids,” said Mariela, adding it’s a good feeling to help others.

Her mom, Laura, said Mariela began planning months ago to donate the gifts.

“She knows some children don’t have a lot and she wants other children to be happy at Christmas time,” said Laura. “We’re very proud of how thoughtful and generous she’s been.”

The gifts sat untouched in their family home since her birthday “and it never occurred to her to change her mind,” said Laura. “Now she’s thinking about next year.”

The Stocking Project was created three years ago by Mother Elf – also known as Crystal Smalldon – who wanted to do something to help her neighbour whose husband was going through chemotherapy. Using her garage as home base, Smalldon put together 200 stockings that first year.

This year, the elves are stuffing more than 550 stockings, which are set for delivery on Dec. 19 and 20. “(Mariel’s) donation will basically

double the number of donations in that age category,” said Smalldon, who lives in Kanata. “To see a child recognize the need in the community is just so heart-warming.”

The Stocking Project is a volunteerrun campaign that aims to surprise more than 1,000 people in Kanata, Carp and Stittsville with stockings this Christmas.

Referrals are received anonymously and upwards of 80 elves deliver the stockings just before Christmas by ringing the recipients’ doorbells and then running quickly away, keeping the process anonymous the whole way

through.

“We look for people who have a really tough time at Christmas and help them,” said Smalldon. “This community is the most generous community Jessica Cunha/Metroland I’ve ever met. You all support each Eight-year-old Mariela Harkins delivers more than $500 worth of toys other every step of the way.”

for donations to the holiday initiative instead of birthday gifts.
