Arctic explorer, MP judge flag posters at St. Michael School in Fitzroy Habour by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
And the winner is … There was excitement in the air in the gymnasium at St. Michael Catholic School in Fitzroy Harbour on Tuesday, Feb. 28 as the winning entry in the school’s competition to create the flag poster that will be taken and displayed on the upcoming Bear Witness Arctic Expedition was announced at a special assembly. It was special because guests at the assembly included not only Arctic explorer David Reid, who is heading the Bear Witness Arctic Expedition that will see four people circumnavigate Bylot Island in the high Arctic, but also Karen McCrimmon, the MP for the Kanata-Carleton riding. Both explorer Reid and MP McCrimmon were judges in selecting the winner in the flag poster competition. It was after a question-and-answer session with the guests that the announcement was made about the winning flag poster. All of the entries in the competition, over 60 in total, had been displayed in the gymnasium for the judges, who then selected the one winning flag poster as well as two “honourable mention” flag posters.
The winning flag poster was created by student Adam Ringuette. Receiving honourable mention were the flag posters created by students Skyla-Jo Leafloor and Kyle Guibeault. Judge Reid said that the winning flag poster had caught his eye in the judging for a number of reasons. Both the Canadian and Nunavut flags were depicted in the flag poster, but more importantly the flag poster stood out when viewed from a distance. He explained that this is an important feature because he and his Bear Witness Arctic Expedition team will be having their photo taken holding this flag poster and the photo will be taken from something of a distance because he wants to show the landscape in the background, which might even include an iceberg. So the flag poster, which will be laminated, needs to be eye-catching from a distance. Taking this flag poster along on the expedition and having a photo taken of it during the Bylot Island circumnavigation is one way that David Reid is using to involve the students of St. Michael Catholic School in the expedition. The students will also be tracking the progress of David and his team around Bylot Island during the month-long expedition. See CIRCUMNAVIGATING, page 3

travel on it. He said having no ice in the North would be like having no farm fields in this area of Canada as both are essential for the provision of food through hunting in the North and farming in this area. Reid said that the expedition members will get their daily drinking water by chopping ice from an iceberg and melting it. He said that the expedition will hopefully help increase awareness of the North in this 150th anniversary year for the country, saying that the North is an important part of Canada which is currently facing a threat to its sea ice from climate change. MP McCrimmon said that climate change is making it difficult for the people and animals of the North to survive but that there are things that all Canadians acting together can do to help, such as stop polluting the environment.

dents have learned about the Arctic. MP McCrimmon told kindergarten pupils that she was glad that they were learning about the Arctic because it is an important part of the country. She told another class that she had spent a lot of time in the Arctic during her career in Canada’s military, adding that polar bears are magnificent creatures. “We have to do more to help them survive,” she said in reference to the changing climatic conditions in the Arctic that are threatening the polar bear habitat. At the assembly following these classroom visits, principal Dwight Delahunt commented that students were learning a lot about the Arctic thanks to David Reid and his invitation to the school to be involved in his Bear Witness Arctic Expedition by creating a flag poster that will be taken along on the expedition and by tracking the expedition as it goes around Bylot Island. In his comments at the assembly and in response to some of the questions posed by students at the assembly, David Reid explained that the expedition will be measuring the thickness of the ice on which the group will be travelling as it goes around Bylot Island. He reminded the students that the people of the North need sea ice so that they can hunt and

In addition, the Arctic has been incorporated into much of the regular curriculum learning at the school such as math. The recent winter carnival at the school was based on an Arctic theme in keeping with this school’s focus on the Arctic thanks to the Bear Witness Arctic Expedition. Before they judged the flag poster contest at the school, David Reid and MP Karen McCrimmon, along with Ottawa Catholic School Board superintendent of schools Steve McCabe and St. Michael principal Dwight Delahunt, visited a couple of classes in the school where the they were told about some of the things that the stu-

David will be providing daily reports of the team’s trip around the island. St. Michael Catholic School has a giant map of Bylot Island now put up on a wall in its hallway. This map will be used to track the Bear Witness Arctic Expedition as it makes its way around Bylot Island. When he returns from the expedition this spring, David Reid will be providing a photo of the team holding the flag poster to St. Michael Catholic School where it can be displayed as a memento of the school’s involvement in the Bear Witness Arctic Expedition. The students have also been studying and learning about the Arctic as a result of the school’s involvement in the Bear Witness Arctic

She urged the students to promote awareness of the Arctic and to work to create conditions that allow those living there to have a good life. She urged the students to create an online petition urging the federal government to create a marine conservation area around Bylot Island. She encouraged them to get as many names as possible on the petition, which she said that she would present in the House of Commons. The Bear Witness Arctic Expedition, which will take a month to complete, will begin on April 10, with the fourmember team covering an average of 20 to 25 kilometres a day
in order to complete the 520 kilometre trek around the island in a month. This will be the largest island in the world ever to be circumnavigated on skis. The expedition will be travelling on the sea ice around the island since the island’s terrain is too rugged and mountainous to allow extended travel on the island itself. This Bear Witness Arctic Expedition circumnavigating Bylot Island on skis is being undertaken not only to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary this year, but also to increase awareness about the importance of sea ice and the frozen Arctic environment. The entire Bear Witness Arc-
tic Expedition will be taking place within the boundaries of the proposed Lancaster Sound National Marine Conservation Area. Lancaster Sound, which runs along Bylot Island’s north shore, is a rich Arctic ecosystem which features polar bears, narwhals, bowheads, belugas, several species of seals, walrus and thousands of sea birds. Becoming a National Marine Conservation Area would protect this wildlife. Members of the Bear Witness Arctic Expedition team include David Reid, a veteran and experienced Arctic explorer and guide; Eric Brossier, who studies biodiversity and climate change in the Arctic; Ingrid Ortlieb, an adventurer
who has participated in expeditions in many parts of the world including a trip through the Northwest Passage; and Martin Garcia, another lifelong adventurer.
Bylot Island, which is located off the northern tip of Baffin Island in the Canadian high Arctic, is more than 700 kilometres above the Arctic Circle. It is the 17th largest island in
Canada. While there are no permanent settlements on Bylot Island, Inuit from Pond Inlet on Baffin Island regularly travel to the island.

Beach Day at Carp Cooperative Nursery School by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
Who says that you can’t go to the beach in the winter? Just ask the folks at the Carp Cooperative Nursery School, where they recently celebrated Beach Day. Yes, that’s right — Beach Day. And how could this happen in wintertime in Carp? Well, they simply cranked up the heat and
pretended it was summer! There was surfboarding, a shade tent and lots of fun on this make-believe Beach Day. And youngsters got to cool off by snacking on some popsicles, just like in the real summertime. The Carp Cooperative Nursery School is a place where children can broaden their social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth through teacher-directed and selfdirected learning.
At the school, children experience different types of activities that help them learn and grow. There’s sensory activity with play dough, sand, water and soap suds. There’s creative activity with planned crafts, free crafts, painting and stamping. There’s tabletop toys such as puzzles, games and other toys that encourage a feeling of accomplishment and increase a child’s experience with colour, shape, weight and size. There’s the science table which displays both familiar
and unfamiliar objects that are found in the natural world. There’s the floor block area where the children learn to share with each other in constructing shapes and building together. There’s the everyday living centre set up to resemble a child-sized home where the children learn to share and co-operate through role play. And there’s the quiet area, where children can quietly enjoy books and puzzles. There’s always a snack time and a few times each year a field trip is arranged which enriches what the children are leaning in class. The Nursery School is a co-operative, non-profit, nondenominational school that is administered by an executive committee of parents. The objective is to provide the best possible nursery environment while maintaining affordable fees. The school year runs from mid-September to mid-June. There are programs for children from twoand-a-half years old to five years old.

Fighting Cancer with Cancer Dr. Rebecca Auer and her team are developing a personalized vaccine for cancer patients following surgery. Made from an individual’s own tumour cells, removed at the time of surgery, this new treatment trains a patient’s immune system to prevent cancerous tumours from returning after surgery. It’s like fighting cancer with cancer, and it shows great promise in paving the way for more effective therapies.

Food Hub offering ‘Sugaring Off’ workshop by John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
You can learn how to make your own maple syrup at an upcoming workshop. The Deep Roots Food Hub is offering the workshop “Sugaring Off: How to make your own maple syrup” at Aster Lane Edibles at Kinburn. In this workshop, you will learn all about sugaring off from Teising Andrews of Aster Lane Edibles at a rustic, family-sized sugar shack. You will learn the basics of homemade maple syrup from tree tapping to evaporation. This workshop should especially appeal to anyone who has maple or birch trees on their property and a wish to tap them for syrup. Space at this workshop is limited, so quick action should be taken if you want to reserve a spot. You can register online at Eventbrite. The workshop is being offered on Saturday, March 25 from 1 p.m. to 4
At Carp
p.m. There is no cost to attend this workshop, although in order to help with some of the workshop costs a donation jar will be available at the workshop. But donations are purely voluntary and are not meant to discourage anyone from participating in the workshop. Aster Lane Edibles, the site of the workshop, is located on Hunt Line Road at Kinburn. The Deep Roots Food Hub, which is hosting this workshop, is a grassroots West Carletonbased nonprofit organization made up of local farmers, market gardeners, health professionals, business people and residents of West Carleton working to develop programs that will make it easier for all residents to access, grow and sell affordable healthy food. One of the initiatives of the Deep Roots Food Hub is to offer educational workshops on various topics related to cooking, nutrition, gardening, canning and, yes, making maple syrup. The Deep Roots Food Hub can be contacted at info@deeprootsfoodhub.ca. Maple syrup is made from the sap of maple trees. These trees store starch in their trunks and roots before the winter. The starch is then converted to sugar that rises in the sap in early
spring. Maple trees are tapped by drilling holes into their trunks and collecting the sap which is processed by heating to evaporate much of the water, leaving the concentrated syrup. Maple syrup is made by boiling between 20 and 50 volumes of sap over an open fire until one volume of syrup is obtained. However, the higher the sugar content of the sap, the fewer the gallons of sap are needed to obtain one gallon of syrup. Maple syrup was first collected and used by the indigenous peoples of North America, with the practice being adopted by European settlers who refined production methods. It is not known exactly how maple syrup production and consumption began with the indigenous peoples of northeastern North America. Various legends do exist, one of the most popular involving maple sap being used in place of water to cook venison served to a chief. Aboriginal tribes developed rituals around sugar-making, celebrating the Sugar Moon (the first full moon of spring) with a maple dance. The province of Quebec produces 75 per cent of the world’s output of maple syrup. Maple syrup is often eaten with pancakes but it is also used as an ingredient in baking and as a sweetener.

Ward 5 West Carleton-March Update to paramedic services in Ottawa On February 24, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care directed that the Ottawa Paramedic Service make some changes their dispatch policies. More specifically: • Transfer of care policy – The existing “transfer of care” policy provides paramedics with up to 30 minutes to prepare ambulances for the next emergency call and complete paperwork. The Ministry directed this be revised so that paramedics will no longer be allotted the mandatory 30 minutes in between calls. • End of shift policy – The current “end of shift” policy places the paramedic vehicle out-of-service during the final 30 minutes of the shift to ensure the unit returns to headquarters for processing before the next shift. The Ministry has asked that this be changed so that these ambulances are available to answer urgent calls. These policy revisions are now in effect with paramedics implementing these practices. On a related note, I’d like to provide an update to residents on a motion I put forward at City Council in March 2016 requesting an additional 12 paramedics and 4 emergency response vehicles be deployed to deal with the increased demand for service that the City has been experiencing. These additional paramedics/vehicles are currently in service. The 2017 City of Ottawa Budget also earmarked the deployment of another 24 paramedics in 2017, as well as an investment in paramedic services of 43 new frontline service providers between 2016 and 2018.

Drug testing can save lives
N
ever have we known such gargantuan problems due to something so small. Fentanyl is a strong opioid – 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Minuscule doses of the drug can kill. On Feb. 27, the city’s deputy police chief told a Kanata audience that enforcement will not keep the scourge of fentanyl from our streets. When thousands of doses of a drug can be imported in a single envelope, complete eradication is beyond any agency. But all is not lost, and we don’t have to throw our hands up in the air and simply hope no one else dies from an overdose of opioids. We do have some tools available to reduce the harm. Education is job one. The people most at risk need to know that any drug that they buy from illicit sources may contain opioids like fentanyl. One dose can kill. A few doses can create an addiction, even if the user has no idea there is fentanyl mixed into their counterfeit pills or powders. That message should reach everyone in the city, starting with children. The school boards are clearly redoubling their efforts to make sure students know the risks. Secondly, naloxone – the medication that can reverse an opioid overdose – should be made as
widely available as possible. The city plans to have doses in every fire and police vehicle. The province has made naloxone freely available. If someone still chooses to consume a drug – and that would be a bad decision – we can make the outcome less risky if allow them to test their drugs for fentanyl. Test kits exist. If one of our levels of government makes them available to would-be drug users, those people can find out if there is fentanyl in a drug they have purchased. A user who sees a positive result for fentanyl can avoid potential death or addiction. And at the same time, they learn that the person who sold them that pill or powder cannot be trusted. Drug testing like this has been offered at some concert festivals in the past, and it is controversial. Some will say testing condones or encourages drug use. But which is better: 1,000 people use drugs at a festival and one dies, or 1,000-plus people use drugs at a festival and no one dies? That’s the crux of harm reduction. It’s why we provide free needles to IV drug addicts. It’s what the Insite safe-injection site in Vancouver does. It simply saves lives. Drug-testing kits have potential. They should be part of the discussion.

Knowing that our heart and respiratory fitness has even the remotest potential to improve as we age means doctors can be a bit more bold as they prescribe exercise to older patients to improve their overall prognosis.

Letter: Electricity system needs major overhaul Dear editor: I agree with Alan Dickie’s letter published in the March 2 issue of the West Carleton Review: we are overcharged for delivery of electricity and the electricity system lacks competition. Charging too much for electricity leads to hardships for some people and is destructive for us all because high electricity prices lead us to use other more polluting energy sources. Note that I said price of electric-
ity, not its cost. Hydro One and other government agencies would have us believe that their price is cost, but there is no evidence to support this. The price that we are charged is currently being manipulated because of the dissatisfaction of Ontarians with constant increases but little is being done to reduce actual costs, so any reduction in electricity price is either being paid for in other taxes and fees or is being delayed, to be paid by future
generations. Given the poor state of Ontario’s economy, this is at least foolhardy. The government’s current shell game of reducing monthly bills for electricity while increasing debt and stealing from other needed programs may win voters but is a shameful disregard for Ontario’s future. If I had Premier Kathleen Wynne’s ear, this is what I would tell her: Ontario’s electricity system needs a
MPP hosts meeting on property rights BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren will host a public consultation on property rights in Kanata on Thursday, March 9. MacLaren announced the meeting and the launch of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Property Rights on March 6. “It’s a subject people have a tendency to take for granted,” said MacLaren, who was appointed chair of the property rights panel in the fall of 2015 by Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown. “It’s the basis of democracy and the basis of prosperity.” The Progressive Conservative MPP recruited members of the Ontario Landowners Association for his team, which includes: • Tom Black, president of the Ontario Landowners Association; • Marlene Black, editor of Landowner Magazine; • Mark Breckon, president and CEO of Fraser View Group; • Frank Burke, president of the North Renfrew United Landowners Association; • Donna Burns, president of the Renfrew-NippissingPembroke Landowners Association; • Shirley Dolan, president of the Carleton Landowners Association;
St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Carp Special to the Review
St. James the Apostle Anglican Church at 3774 Carp Road in Carp sits right beside the Carp fairgrounds. An early history of St. James Church of the Parish of Huntley, compiled by Helen Rivington, indicates that St. James the Apostle was the third church built in Huntley Parish, following Christ Church built in 1838 and St. John’s built in 1885. Church services had been held in the Orange Hall in the late 1870’s. In the early 1880’s, it was decided by the Bishop that Huntley Parish would be divided into three congregations. A committee was formed to build a new church, with the contract awarded in Nov. 1888 to John Bennett of Richmond at a cost of $8,000. George Nelson Kidd and his wife Esther Elvira Young donated land in Carp village, with construction then proceeding. St. James the Apostle Anglican Church celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1939. The land for the St. James cemetery was purchased in 1919 from Thomas Argue at a cost of $3,000. In June, 1921, the cemetery was consecrated by the Bishop. A vault was built in 1960 and in 1966 two additional acres of land were purchased from E. Honeywell. In 2004, a columbarium was erected.
• Tim Mount, director of the Carleton Landowners Association; and • Mike Westley, director of the Carleton Landowners Association. The panel released its preliminary report in January 2017. “The objective is to develop a policy leading into the next election,” said MacLaren, adding he and his team spent the past 18 months working on the preliminary report and developing a mission statement. The report says the three basic elements of property rights — the rights of possession, use and disposition — have been compromised in Ontario. “Increasingly we find that provincial legislation is drafted without a second thought for the impact it might have on your property,” states the report. The panel will develop and implement a plan to “champion the value property rights” to benefit all Ontarians and ensure the rights are respected by all levels of government, says the report. MacLaren said the group has moved on to Phase 2, which includes holding public meetings throughout the province and requesting policy proposal submissions from PC riding associations. The input will help inform the final recommendations and develop the Progressive Conservative’s policy, said MacLaren. The first public consultation by the Blue Ribbon Panel on Property Rights will be held March 9 at the Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr., from 7 to 9 p.m. For more information, visit yourpropertyrights.ca or email info@ yourpropertyrights.ca. CRITIC REAPPOINTMENT Brown reappointed MacLaren as critic for Natural Resources and Forestry for the Ontario PC Caucus on Feb. 7 “We’re kind of excited and very happy about it,” said MacLaren. “Ontario lost 10,000 jobs in the natural resource sector (last year) — that’s a lot of jobs. We’d like to see what we can do to reverse that trend.” MacLaren was first named critic for natural resources in the fall of 2015. He was removed from that role, and others, in April 2016 when Brown ordered him to undergo sensitivity training following inappropriate comments MacLaren made at a charity event in Carp.
major overhaul and that means bringing in new blood and a new structure. If you remember the telephone system before it was reformed in the 1970s, it was reliable, high quality and expensive. It was also slow to change because people who ran the system were truly expert at doing things one way and couldn’t see how to introduce much change without damaging what already worked. If the telephone system had been allowed to continue in the old way, we wouldn’t be using smart phones and the Internet for communicating today. The same situation exists today with the electricity system. Even though technologies like solar and wind are inherently distributed and most appropriately located as small installations close to where the electricity is needed, the experts have ensured most current applications are in large wind and solar farms, just like the earlier generating stations. This maintains the grid structure of electricity distribution as it has always been instead of preparing it for the future. The problem with small intermit-
tent generators is power storage, but people like Elon Musk are addressing small scale energy storage and will solve it, more quickly if the electricity system becomes more welcoming for such solutions. Competition will allow solutions to problems that are not yet foreseen to be solved by innovative new players. The telephone system was overhauled by outside forces, opening the system to competition. Reform of Ontario’s electricity system has avoided any real competition so far, even though many changes were made in recent decades. Real competition requires the distribution network to be opened up to allow access to anyone who wishes to transport electricity and at a realistic price, and then further opened up to allow other carriers to compete for this transport business. The current establishment will lose their ability to manipulate prices but real costs will dramatically fall. Ontario needs such reform for its future. Hopefully someone is listening.

Jerseys and Jewels women’s gala Special to the Review
Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills
The Latest Hydro Hoax Don’t like your hydro bill? Let your grandchildren pay it! That seems to be the government’s plan now… Only low polling numbers could have convinced the government to do something about the crippling price of hydro.
What happens to a hockey mom when her children finish with minor hockey? Well, eventually she becomes a “hockey granny.” That’s what is the case for Kathy Foster of Carp, the mother of two hockey playing sons who are now both married with young families, now making her a “hockey granny.” She told about this transformation to hockey granny in her remarks at the inaugural Jerseys and Jewels women’s gala held at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club in support of Roger Neilson House and the West Carleton Minor Hockey Association. She reminded those at the gala that the goal of minor hockey should be for children to participate to learn life skills and to have fun. It should not be with a goal of making the National Hockey League (NHL). But, indeed, that is what one of her sons, Kurtis Foster, did, enjoying a 15 year professional career including in the NHL before retiring last summer. He is now an assistant coach with the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). And another son Craig Foster played for the Sarnia Sting of the OHL before playing college hockey at the University of Prince Edward Island thanks to an OHL scholarship. He went into the financial industry
but three years ago he became president of operations for the Charlottetown Islanders, a junior hockey team which plays in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Their mother told how both boys played for the Ottawa Valley Titans and spent lots of time at the outdoor rink in Carp where they dreamed of playing, she said, for the Jr. B Arnprior Packers or if they were lucky for the Kanata Lasers of the Central Junior Hockey League. She noted that both boys left home to play in the OHL when they were 16 years old. Calling herself a proud hockey mom of 30 years, she told how she grew up in the Carp area playing ball in the summer and broomball in the winter. She told how she and her husband Bob volunteered their time in minor hockey, either helping with a team or on the executive. She said that during the 1990s, it was hectic being involved with minor hockey, but not nearly as hectic as today in her view. Sure there was doing homework in the car for her boys in these busy years but she pointed out that there were no electronic devices in the 90s, making it not quite as busy as today. She said that she has many great memories from these days, travelling far and wide to cheer on her boys.
Besides Kathy Foster’s appearance as a guest speaker, this Jerseys and Jewels women’s gala also featured a performance by Kevin Smith, a mentalist, illusionist and magician who performs under the name “Mr. Smith.” He performs about 200 shows a year. See ILLUSIONIST, page 11
Now that the government is less popular than ever before, and an election is a year away, we’re seeing more and more incompetent scrambling on the hydro file. The government has proposed a 17% reduction in hydro bills. This will result in some small savings in the short term. But the long-term cost will be an extra $14 billion – paid for by our taxes for decades to come. This is outrageous, and it won’t solve the problem. The Green Energy Act is the problem. We need to abolish the Green Energy Act. We need to use more of our cheap and clean hydro power. We need to stop signing more and more expensive contracts for wind and solar energy that we don’t need. The next election can’t come soon enough!

He displayed his Kreskin-like mentalist ability with feats like identifying who was holding a golden marble from a group of five ladies, four of whom had blue marbles. And he did this just by asking them to tell the truth or lie about holding the golden marble and apparently telling by their responses whether they held the golden marble or not.
But he also did a mandatory card trick and other entertaining tricks. This Jerseys and Jewels gala also featured a silent auction that featured a wide range of items up for grabs to the highest bidder including numerous gift cards, a Swarovski fine silver bracelet, a framed reprint of the Ottawa Senators Chris Neil playing in his 1,000th NHL game and a number of gift baskets, among other things.
Lynn Harris retires at Queensway Carleton Special to the Review
Lynn Harris has retired after leading volunteers at the Queensway Carleton Hospital for the last 26 years. As Director of Volunteer Resources, Lynn has developed and guided the Queensway Carleton Hospital’s volunteer program from nearly the ground up, championing volunteerism not only at the hospital but throughout the National Capital Region as a mentor to her peers and colleagues at other hospitals. Over her years at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, it has grown from a staff of 500 to the current staff of nearly 2,000, with about 500 volunteers as well. Serving as a department of one for many years, Lynn has often been solely responsible for co-ordinating the hundreds of community volunteers who walk through the hospital doors. Engaging volunteers and creating a sense of excitement has been key. Lynn is quick to praise the volunteers at the hospital. “It’s an opportunity to work with people that are just so giving of their time,” says Lynn. “I feel privileged. They’re not coming for a paycheque.” Over the years, Lynn has worked hand-in-hand with her volunteer teams during a number of big changes at the hospital. These included the renovation of the hospital gift shop,
establishing of a volunteer partnership with the hospital’s cancer centre to help patients, and creation of a new volunteer program for the hospital’s new Acute Care for the Elderly Unit. There is not a unit in the Queensway Carleton Hospital that has not been touched by the helping hands of hospital volunteers over the past 26 years. “I’ve really enjoyed what I do,” said Lynn. “You can see
how it can make a difference and that’s a nice feeling." But she has also enjoyed the volunteers themselves. “What I’ve enjoyed most is all the people I engage with in the day-to-day. The smiling faces of the volunteers, knowing that every single one of them is here because they want to be,” Lynn said. Lynn has no plans for what she will do next in her life. “No plans, it’s just the time I look forward to,” she said.
MC for this women’s gala was Caitlin Neil, wife of Chris Neil of the Senators and honorary chair of Roger Neilson House which received a portion of the ticket sale proceeds from the evening. Roger Neilson House is a residential hospice for pediatric palliative care located on the grounds of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Opened in 2006, it provides a homelike environment for children who are facing a significant risk of dying while they are being treated at CHEO. Ottawa Fire Services volunteer firefighters in uniform were on hand at this gala. They helped sell raffle and 50/50 draw tickets. The gala featured an eye-catching cupcake tree which drew many admiring glances at the event. DJ services at this women’s gala were provided by Quality Entertainment. A Tiffany and Co. door prize was donated by Ozz Electric. Members of the planning committee for this fundraiser for the West Carleton Minor Hockey Association and Roger Neilson House were Dana Salares, Jill Beck, Kelly Barton, Caitlin Neil, Tanya McNeely and Sheila Lyttle-Clark. Gold sponsors for his Jerseys and Jewels gala were Investors Group (Andrea Drolet, Senior Financial Consultant) and Irish Hills Golf and Country Club. Silver sponsors include Dulce Couture, With Love Bridal Boutique and Edward Jones (Robert Barta, Financial Advisor). Bronze sponsors included Ozz Electric, KKI Designs Co., McNeely’s Outdoor Power Equipment Ltd. and Thunderbolt Contracting.

A “Man of the Shroud” exhibit is coming to the area. This exhibit, which is comprised of a life-sized authentic reproduction of the “Shroud of Turin” as well as more than 30 display panels outlining historical, scientific and theological information about the Shroud, is going to be displayed at St. Isidore Catholic Church on March Road from April 4 to April 11. This exhibit deals with the history, significance and scientific aspects of the Shroud of Turin, which is widely believed to be the authentic burial
cloth of Jesus. Organized by a group of clergy and laity in Vancouver, BC, the exhibit consists of a series of professionally-prepared documentary museum boards, a collection of recreated artifacts of Christ’s Passion, and an actual-size photographic reproduction of the Shroud of Turin itself. The Shroud of Turin is a 14-footlong linen cloth which bears the mysterious image of a man who has been scourged and crucified. Since at least medieval times, it has been venerated as the cloth in which Jesus’ body was wrapped in the tomb. St. John’s Gospel describes it as having been left behind in the tomb after Jesus’ resurrection.

From April 4 to April 10, there will be daily presentations held for students and adults at St. Isidore Church. Presenting these seminars will be Barrie Schwortz, who will present “35 Years of Shroud Science: A Personal Perspective” on April 4, 5, 6 and 7, and also Dr. Phillip Wiebe, whose presentation entitled “Authenticity of the Shroud of Turin and its Significance for Theology” will be presented on April 8, 9 and 10. Schwortz, from Los Angeles, was the official documenting photographer for a 1978 Shroud of Turin research project and his photographs have been seen on various TV channels and have been published in Time, Life and National Geographic magazines. Dr. Wiebe, from Vancouver, who is a professor of philosophy at Trinity Western University in Richmond, BC, will talk about the history of the Shroud, carbon dating, the Shroud’s three-dimensional properties, and competing views on how the image on the Shroud was formed. This “Man of the Shroud” exhibit will be free to attend, although donations will be accepted. Everyone is welcome to attend. The exhibit has been made possible by the Vancouver Shroud Association, the Archdiocese of Ottawa and St. Isidore parishio-
ners. The exhibit will be on display on Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., while on Sunday, April 9, it will be on display from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Schwortz’s presentation will take place on Tuesday, April 4 at 1 p.m. for students and at 7 p.m. for adults; on Wednesday, April 5 at 1 p.m. for students and 7 p.m. for adults; on Thursday, April 6 at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. for students and at 7 p.m. for adults; and on Friday, April 7 at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. for students and at 7 p.m. for adults. Dr. Wiebe’s presentation will be given on Saturday, April 8 at 10 a.m. for senior high school and college students and at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. for adults; on Sunday, April 9 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. for adults; and on Monday, April 10 at 1 p.m. for senior high school and college students and at 7 p.m. for adults. The blood stains and impressions on the actual Shroud of Turin, while somewhat shadowy and unclear to the naked eye, were revealed in great detail and clarity when first photographed in 1898. Since then, hundreds of scientific researchers of all faiths have studied the clothing, using the analytic tools from over 25 fields of study.
Theories have now been advanced which account for the first millennium of the Shroud’s history and its influence on Christian art and liturgy. New studies have uncovered data that had not been previously imagined, resulting in new interest not only in the Shroud itself but also in the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. The organizing committee for this “Man of the Shroud” exhibit believes the Shroud to be a powerful tool for evangelization. In light of the 2004 release of the much-discussed Mel Gibson film “The Passion of the Christ,” this exhibit has served to provide factual and fascinating information about the process of crucifixion and why Jesus left His burial cloth for humanity. One of the most dramatic elements of the exhibit is the actual-size digital photograph of the Shroud, printed on linen and mounted in a similar fashion in which the Shroud itself has been displayed to pilgrims during recent showings in Turin. The Shroud of Turin itself, which is a length of linen clothing bearing the image of a man, is believed by many to be the burial shroud of Jesus. This Shroud is kept at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin in northern Italy. See PHOTOGRAPH, page 15

• Fruit or juice stains, blot the stain, pat it with a wet sponge, squirt some shaving cream on it, and then wipe clean with • Gum - freeze gum with ice cubes in a plastic bag, then lift it off with a safe tool such as spoon - blot with a ‘dry cleaning fluid’ • Pet Urine - blot up excess urine first with paper towel, then pour club soda onto the stain and blot again and clean with a carpet shampoo
a damp sponge.

Apply the paste to the ink stain. Allow the homemade concoction to dry on the carpet for a few hours, then brush off the dried residue and vacuum it up. Cornstarch is also great for soaking up grease and oil stains. Sprinkle the spots liberally, let sit for several hours, and vacuum up. • Greasy food stains, mix up 1 part salt to 4 parts rubbing alcohol and rub it hard on the grease stain, being careful to rub in the direction of the rug’s natural nap. • Can’t tell what the stain is? Mix a teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide with a dab of non-gel toothpaste. Rub the paste on the stain with a soft cloth. Rinse.
• Ink - spray WD-40 onto stain, wait a couple of minutes, then clean with carpet cleaner or warm soapy water. • Red Wine - pour white wine onto stain to dilute the colour, then blot clean with a clean cloth and water. After, pour salt onto the stain and let sit for approximately. 10 mins. then vacuum.
• Coffee/Tea - Beer believe it or not works on coffee/tea stains. Pour beer on to stain and rug it out gently with a clean cloth. Repeat if necessary. • Blood - cover stain with equal parts cold water and meat tenderizer and let stand for 30 mins. Then clean with cold water.
Photograph of Shroud along with reconstucted artifacts Continued from page 14
The image of the “Man of the Shroud” has a beard, moustache and shoulder-length hair parted in the middle. He is muscular and tall. There is also evidence of various wounds that some say are in keeping with crucifixion. The origins of the Shroud and its images are the subject of debate among theologians, historians and researchers. There are no definite historical records concerning the Shroud of Turin prior to the 14th century. Although there are numerous reports of Jesus’ burial shroud before the 14th century, there is no historical evidence
that these refer to what is now known as the Shroud of Turin. The Roman Catholic Church has never made any pronouncement on the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin. This has been left as a personal decision of the faithful. In March 2013, as part of Easter celebrations, the Shroud was on exposition in the Cathedral in Turin. Pope Francis recorded a video message for this occasion in which he described the image on the Shroud of “this Icon of a man” and stated that the Man of the Shroud invites people to contemplate Jesus. He urged the faithful to
contemplate the Shroud but he did not assert its authenticity. This “Man of the Shroud” exhibit was first organized in 2002 and is owned by the Vancouver Shroud Association. The objectives of the Association are both to inform people about the Shroud of Turin and to encourage devotion to the Man who it supposedly represents.
The photograph of the Shroud that is part of the exhibit is accompanied by reconstructed artifacts related to the image on the shroud, such as the crown of thorns, nails and the lance that pierced Jesus’ side. The panels that are part of the exhibit describe all the scientific and historic research on the shroud, using both text and photographs.

Others on the board include Janice Boeyen as secretary-treasurer; Sylvia Bell as a non-voting director; and Amanda Chapman, Angela Bernhardt, Kevin Pratt, Rosanne Coomber, Suzanne Lee, Jodi Wood and Julia Cheeseman as directors. Brendan Kent, who served as cochair during the past year, helped launch the market and provided its musical entertainment, is stepping down from his involvement due to other commitments. He will remain as an ex officio member of the board as its past chair. For 2017, the Constance Bay Community Market has plans to extend its hours of operation on market days. In 2016, it ran from 9 a.m. to noon on the grounds of St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church, while this year, the market will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. An increase to five operating hours will provide more opportunity for families to visit following morning youth activities, and to allow for offering lunch to market-goers. In addition, the number of market days is being increased from the nine days offered last year to ten days this year.

Master gardener to speak at West Carleton Garden Club SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Making it fun — that’s the gardening philosophy of master gardener Judith Cox and you’ll get a sampling of it at the March meeting of the West Carleton Garden Club. That’s when Judith will be the guest speaker, delivering a presentation called “Child’s Play: Gardening with Children, Fairies and More.” Judith believes that by focusing on fun and function in gardening, everyone can enjoy themselves, no matter their age. “I put a big emphasis on looking at things in a different way, using the materials that you have available,” Judith says, pointing out that making your own miniature greenhouse to start tomato plants early is fun not only to do with kids but for anybody to do.
“It’s all a case of hopefully making it fun, interesting, something different,” she says about gardening. “I want people to enjoy themselves.” And she knows of what she speaks as she combined her love of children, thanks to a background in early childhood education, with a passion for gardening when she was the gardener at Saunders Farm in Munster for 15 years before deciding at the end of last season that it was time for a change. Judith created and tended the fairy garden at Saunders Farm for years, recognizing it as a valuable tool in drawing in and capturing the attention of children. “People can’t really walk past something that looks really interesting,” she says. “You’re competing with a lot with electronics and all this other stuff so you’ve got to make
it in such a way that children are going to be able to relate to what you’re doing. You want to sort of start out with instant gratification and then move on to the more patient things.” She notes that for children, the wonder of a garden is magical. “You put this seed in the ground and then, whoa, there’s a plant and that’s amazing,” she explains. Gardening, though, may not seem as magical for an adult as tackling a garden can seem daunting. That’s why Judith has decided to start her own garden consulting business to help homeowners who want to learn more about gardening in their own garden. “I love the idea of going to someone’s garden and giving them the confidence to be able to be their own gardener,” she says. “It’s
not as scary as you think sometimes.” In her presentation at the West Carleton Garden Club, Judith will also talking about planting for pollinators and thinking outside the box when it comes to gardens. Judith Cox will be giving her presentation “Child’s Play: Gardening with Children, Fairies and More” at the West Carleton Garden Club monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Memorial Hall in Carp. Nonmembers of the garden club are most welcome to attend, although there is a nominal fee of $5 charged to nonmembers for attendance.

Market will begin on June 17th Continued from page 17
The market schedule this year will be a mix of bi-weekly and weekly dates, with the weekly dates taking place in September, when the garden food producers are harvesting and have an abundance of produce available for sale. The market will begin on Saturday, June 17 — which is Father’s Day weekend — with subsequent dates on July 1, July 15, July 29, Aug. 12, Aug. 26, Sept. 9, Sept. 16, Sept. 23 and Sept. 30. In addition, there are plans in the works for two special market days around Mother’s Day and Christmas. These dates still have to be formally approved by the newly-elected board. In 2016, the Constance Bay Community Market held their nine market days starting June 11, with the last one happening on Oct. 1. Last year’s market last year featured three types of vendors: agricultural-oriented or so-called principal vendors, selling a range of produce from berries to honey to maple syrup to meat; complementary craft vendors, with items such as jewelry and greeting cards; and service vendors such as not-for-profit organizations. Having a good mix of all three types of these vendors is important for the success of the market, according to Kent. Kent also noted that the initial year of operation for the Constance Bay Community Market had resulted in a lot of additional work for the board of directors; but that now a good foundation has been established, board members should now be able to focus on carrying out more regular duties. He noted, as well, the many volunteers that the market attracted, especially high school students. The Community Market also expressed thanks to its various supporters in 2016, which included St. Gabriel’s Parish for providing the site; the City of Ottawa; Deka Home Building Centre; Barking Barista Coffee; Rosanne’s Decor; Constance Bay Design; Coun. Eli El-Chantiry’s assistant, Sylvia Bell; Brendan Kent; Joerg Wurzier; the Keeling family; Lloyd and Judy Robertson; the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association; local firefighters; an anonymous donor of dishcloths; St. Gabriel’s Parish for putting up a shed at the rear of the site; and the Lighthouse Restaurant for purchasing any leftovers from the market. The financial report for 2016 showed that the Constance Bay Community Market — which started the year with $300 — ended with $3,204.60. “We’re small, but we’re doing really well,” Pratt commented about the financials. The market also received a grant of $7,801.48 from the City of Ottawa’s Rural Affairs Community-Building program, which allowed it to do everything it needed in order to get going; this included joining the Ontario Farmers Market organization and acquiring required insurance. The market also collected $225 in membership fees, while stall rental fees amounted to $1,790.

This year, the market may also sell fresh brewed coffee and coffee beans, as they did in 2016. It was noted that there was a lot of demand for fresh-brewed coffee on site, and this is seen as one of the growth areas for the market. The market is also considering hosting vendor-led workshops this year, as well as holding family and child-oriented activities. The market also wants to focus more on promotion. The Good Food Market will not be returning in 2017, so the tent used to house it will be available for other things — such as the child-oriented activities and vendorled workshops. At the annual general meeting, City
of Ottawa West Carleton-March Ward Coun. Eli El-Chantiry suggested that the Community Market consider paying some compensation to its manager, given its positive financial situation. Pratt did not receive any compensation in 2016. Coun. El-Chantiry pointed out that the manager is working constantly on market matters, not just on market day, especially with the growing focus on promotion. Coun. El-Chantiry said that there are grants available for such expenses as a barbecue for serving lunches and a freezer. Membership and stall rental fees for 2017 will be set by the newly-elected board. Last year, the stall rental fee was $20, while the membership fee was $10.

Stage lighting upgrade at Community Centre by Pamela Stowers
The Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre has received a stage lighting upgrade. Thanks to the support of the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association, the Rural Community-Building Grant Program at the City of Ottawa and the Rural Root Theatre Company, the lighting system in the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre is now both versatile and user-friendly. The new system allows users to operate the entire lighting system using preset scenes or by plugging in a lighting control system for more customization. A wide range of programs will be able to use the new system. The Constance and Buckhams Bay Community Centre hosts a comedy night twice a year and Rural Roots puts on two plays each year. The system will also benefit private users who rent the main hall for all sorts of events throughout the year. In addition, this year Constance Bay is hosting the Eastern Ontario Drama Leagues One-Act Play Festival with theatre companies from all over Eastern Ontario performing at the centre. For the last 11 years, the Rural Root Theatre Company (RRTC) has been investing in the performance infrastructure at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre (the Centre). The Centre now has an extensive stage-lighting capability, including programmable LED lights. However, using the stage lights for an event has required considerable effort on the part of the few people who are familiar with the setup of the stage lighting equip-
ment. To overcome this dependency and to allow almost anyone to light up the stage for an event was the main goal of this stage lighting upgrade project. Martin Weeden directed the project from start to finish, including securing funds through the Rural CommunityBuilding Grant Program offered by the City of Ottawa. “The idea for the project originated in late 2015 and with sufficient encouragement from the RRTC Board and the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association (CBBCA), a draft proposal was prepared. The estimated cost was beyond what RRTC could afford alone and so
the CBBCA suggested the grant application that followed. Throughout, the intention was to use RRTC people and skills as much as possible to contain the cost,” states RRTC Technical Director Martin Weeden. West Carleton Electric was hired to do the work based on the firm’s reputation. West Carleton Electric enjoys a long track-record with the Carp Agricultural Society in support of the Carp Fair and other events. In addition, many long hours were put in by Martin and his dedicated team, including Andy Robert, Jason Mathieson, Peter Veale, Bruce Buie, Ivo Mokros, Nathaniel Madore and David Fitzsimons.

“The project would not have been possible without the support of the CBBCA plus the considerable financial input from the City of Ottawa. The time, effort and funds provided by everyone involved have produced a great addition to the facilities available at the Community Centre,” states Martin Weeden.
Musical wants YOU! Open casting call
Calling all actors, singers and families! There’s a family musical coming up that welcomes your involvement. Bethel St. Andrew’s United Church in Fitzroy Harbour is putting out an open casting call as it needs your help with its upcoming musical Oh Jonah! by Allen Pote. “We will be presenting this fun, funny and familyfriendly musical just in time for Mother’s Day and we would love to get as many people involved as possible,” says Rachael Tindale, who leads family initiatives at the church. “There will be roles for chorus members and soloists alike and we welcome participants of all ages,” says Tindale. And if you do not have any musical talent? No problem — you are still wanted. “We are also looking for help with set design, props and costumes, so there are plenty of back stage opportunities for people who want to get involved,” Tindale continues. “We’re dealing with a giant whale here, so we welcome people with energy and big ideas.” There will be an open casting call and information session for Oh Jonah! this Sunday, March 12 at 1 p.m. at 184 Jack Lougheed Way (formerly Carleton Street) in Fitzroy Harbour. There are no auditions and all ages are welcome. “You do not need to belong to this church — or any church at all — to participate,” says Tindale. “Just come out for lots of fun and great music.” Performances of Oh Jonah! will be held on Saturday, May 13 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 14 at 10 a.m. For more information, please contact Rachael Tindale at admin@bethelstandrews.com or visit the website at www.bethelstandrews.com.
Snow Pitch played at carnival Special to the Review
The ball diamonds at the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre were in use at the recent winter carnival. Yes, that’s right — the ball diamonds! It was the introduction of a Snow Pitch tournament to the winter carnival activities on Saturday, Feb. 25. And what is Snow Pitch? Well, it’s basically playing ball on a snow-covered ball diamond. Feb. 25 was a mild day, with even rain, not snow, coming down, so it made for
good playing conditions — no one got too cold. And there was lots of interest in this Snow Pitch tournament with eight teams taking part, all with appropriate Snow Pitch names. There was Jaclyn Jensen’s Ballcicles; Ryley Burns’ Woodlawn Smoke; Lori Cavanagh’s Check Out Our Snow Balls; Tim Levere’s The Blue Ballers; Chelsea Dykens’ Ice Cold Pitchers; Jenliee Thompson’s The Alcoballics; Tim Leclair’s McLarens Landing; and Jeff Bastien’s Snow Ballers.

t wasn’t as if Emerson had done some dastardly deed like stealing money out of the sugar bowl, but what he did earned him a sound cuff on the ear from Mother. What he did was say, “God, I sure would like a real hockey stick, instead of the one Father made out of a piece of wood.” It wasn’t that wanting the hockey stick got him into trouble; it was saying “God” outside of praying. It was a sin to take God’s name in vain, and Mother wouldn’t tolerate it, and that’s all there was to it. Mother didn’t say a word. She didn’t have to. The cuff on the ear said it all. And yet, it seemed to me, as I watched Emerson take his punishment, that adults were forgiven for taking the Lord’s name in vain. Father never quite got the word God out. He would say, “by gad,” which to me was too close to the actual word for comfort. And as I sat and thought about all the ways God’s name was worked into everyday conversations, I had a very hard time figuring out what was right and what was wrong — and then there were the times when it seemed perfectly normal. Mother had a host of sayings all relating to God’s mercy, such as the time old Granny Hines died. Mother clutched her breast with her right hand, then made the sign of the cross, and in a solemn voice said, “God rest
say, “If that isn’t the truth, may God strike me dead.” Well, that sent chills right up my back. And I would pray silently that what she said was the gospel truth. I wasn’t as concerned about her expiring as I was about how we would get her out of the house. Certainly, Memories no one could lift her. And I had visions of Father bringing the stoneboat up to the her weary soul.” I had a hard time figuring back door, and with the help of my three brothers, rolling her across the kitchen out how Granny’s soul was going to rest if floor, and out the back door and onto the she was already dead. stoneboat.

I had the incredible opportunity to help select the student-designed flag from St. Michael School in Fitzroy Harbour that will accompany Bear Witness Expedition Director David Read and his team as they circumnavigate Bylot Island this April, in Canada’s arctic. This semester, students at St. Michael School have been learning all about Canada’s arctic, its inhabitants, wildlife and the challenges we face from a changing climate. The expedition is taking place to help celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary as a testament to our nation’s history of exploration. Congratulations to all the students who took part, all the flags were exceptional!

The non-farm boy returns to the farm
S
ome readers of this column will recall we hosted two boys from Suzhou, China at the farm a few years ago. When applying to be international students, both young men requested rooms on a farm. They wanted a taste of Canadian farm living. The problem with having two boys visiting from the same country is that they are more apt to revert to their mother tongue when conversing with each other. This makes learning English a whole lot more difficult. John and Jerry had friends at school who would help them with their conversational English, but it was just too easy and too tempting to switch back to Mandarin when they got home. Their progress was very slow during the year they stayed with us. Farm life, as well, turned out to be not such a good fit. Perhaps the boys thought they could play with the animals, tractor and ATV, but maybe we had farm hands to do the dirty work? Wrong. I don’t even have help cleaning this huge house. That first season, the Farmer took the boys out to the stable and gave them a lesson in mucking out the horse stall. The first time they did it, the boys declared it was a fine form of exercise. The second time, they said they needed a shower right away, followed by a nap. The third time, in late
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife spring, they said they had never smelled anything so awful in all their lives. I told them they were lucky we didn’t have chickens at the time. After a few months of settling in, the boys declared they couldn’t even fill the wood bin. It was too much work. (It takes me about ten minutes to carry wood in from the back porch, by the way.) They spent their time in their rooms using the Internet, or in the kitchen, eating everything in sight. I worried they wouldn’t earn the required credits to pass their year. The next fall, John did not return to Canada. His father decided to put him to work to pay off the money he ‘wasted’ sitting in his room on our farm, learning nothing. Jerry, on the other hand, had spent the summer being tutored in English by a college graduate. He was ready for year two of his international experience, and this time it showed. He lived with a family in town (having realized the farming life was not for him) and worked hard on his studies. At the end of the year I was able to watch him graduate with his friends. He was pretty proud of himself. He enrolled in college and was accepted, although he would once again have to work on his English over the summer. I hoped he hadn’t bitten off more than he could chew. See BIG GUY FROM CHINA, page 27

Big guy from China still terrified of cats Continued from page 24
Imagine my surprise when, the other day, a brand new silver BMW pulled carefully into the yard. I thought it strange that the driver pulled up to the barn instead of the house. Then the door opened and Jerry stepped out. He had hoped to catch the Farmer at home. He wanted to show my husband his new car. He had also brought someone he wanted us to meet. Richie is graduating from Algonquin this year, a practical nurse. She comes from the same part of China as Jerry. He met her in his first year of International Marketing. He has one year left to go. I watched as the six-foot Chinese man led the young woman around the farm. He showed her the cows and pointed up at his old bedroom win-

dow, telling her it had a great view of the sunset. He asked about the dogs, the donkey, the horse and the sheep. I told him we had moved into the retirement phase of farming, with just a dozen cattle. Then I handed him a copy of my book for his memories, and told him I was very proud of him. He said he would read it, to practice his English (which, by the way, was absolutely perfect). Then he promised to return one day soon, when the Farmer was home. Just as they were leaving, one of the barn cats emerged from her hiding spot under the couch and darted past Jerry. He leapt a foot in the air. So not everything has changed about the big guy from China. He’s still terrified of cats. Email: dianafisher1@gmail.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com
Help — a new “rink boss” is needed for the outdoor rink at the Corkery Community Centre for next winter. That’s because this year’s “rink boss,” 17-year-old Ryan Sloots, will be away at university next winter — along with two of his brothers — and will not be able to continue as “rink boss.” In addition, there is a need for more volunteer flooders to do the flooding of the rink on one or more nights during the week during rink season. The rink can only operate if there is a “rink boss” and a number of flooders. The duties of the “rink boss” include organizing the startup of the rink, organizing the flooding of the rink, and organizing the clearing of snow from the rink. In addition, the “rink boss” must prepare a

report for the City of Ottawa at the end of the rink season. The “rink boss” also has a number of other small duties related to the operation of the rink. The “rink boss” does receive compensation for work done. As far as the duties of flooders, a volunteer flooder is usually responsible for flooding the rink at least one night a week. This involves about two hours of work. The new “rink boss” can be assured of one thing — while Ryan and two of his brothers are away at university next year, there is still one experienced brother still at home who will be most willing to help out whoever is the “rink boss.” Anyone who is interested in the “rink boss” position, or in being a volunteer flooder, should email this interest to rink@corkerycommunity. ca.

'Carp Helps' to support charitable work in Kenya by john Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
“Carp Helps” is a new volunteer group starting up in Carp to support charitable work in Kenya. The group is in its startup phase right now, with a call being made in the community for those who would like to volunteer with the group, either in leadership positions or as volunteers helping out with events in the future. The group will be supporting Creation of Hope, a project carried out by Canadian registered charity Kids Alive Canada that provides help for 400 orphans in a rural area of Kenya. This new volunteer group is being created by Carp resident Kelly Betts who heard Creation of Hope found-
er and children’s author Eric Walters speak about eight years ago and has been a supporter of the project ever since. Kelly and her husband and, yes their children, have been actively involved in supporting the project and its goals which include helping orphans in Kenya with shelter, health care, nutrition, water and education. The family moved to Carp last March and now want to start up a local group in the community to raise funds, as well as awareness of the Creation of Hope project. The Creation of Hope project began in 2007 when Canadian children’s author Eric Walters and his son travelled to Kikima, a small village in the Mbooni district of rural Kenya. During the trip, they met Mutuku, a young orphan, discover-
ing that he was just one of hundreds of orphans in the area, most of whom had lost their parents to HIV/ AIDS. Walters decided to do something about it and what began in 2007 as a project to help a few orphans has now expanded into a project that provides help to 400 orphans there. The project is still a relatively small scale operation, but this has its benefits in that each child in the program gets personal attention by those who run the program on the ground in Kenya. The Rolling Hills Residence, an orphanage home that has been built, can accommodate 50 children who have no family to support them. The orphanage was built by local Kenyan workers using local resources and materials.
The project also involves a monthly food distribution program that is run by local Kenyans that ensures that the children supported by Creation of Hope consistently get nutritious meals. Creation of Hope has also supported various water projects that provide water for drinking and farming, trying to break the cycle of starvation which has existed in this area of Kenya. Creation of Hope also supports 40 high school students, providing them with tuition and the materials needed to attend high school. In addition, a library supported by Creation of Hope built by and employing local people and stocked mostly with local books is the only one in the region. It is open to everyone in the community, an oasis of literacy

in the area. Those supporting Creation of Hope can sponsor a child by making a monthly donation. Letters and emails with the orphan sponsored can be exchanged. In addition, donors receive pictures and regular updates about how the orphan is doing. Besides individuals, groups such as schools and church groups can also donate funds to support Creation of Hope work. These donations go to support initiatives such as the Rolling Hills Residence orphanage, food distribution, water projects, high school and post-secondary school placement and community outreach projects such as the community library that was built.

The iconic loon will be the topic at an upcoming meeting of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN). It will be on Thursday, March 16 at 7:30 p.m. that the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists will host a presentation reflective of the theme “Wild Creature Close-Ups”. Those present will enter the mystical world of the common loon (Gavia immer), led by experienced naturalist and well-known educator from Lanark County, Cliff Bennett. His presentation is entitled “Loons and Human Interactions.” This event will take place in the Social Hall of Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin St., Almonte, Ont. How many of us have paused by the shore of a calm lake on a warm summer evening and had our hearts opened by the plaintive cry of a loon? We linger there, calmed by this sacred moment as the mist settles silently over the glassy surface of the moonlit water. We smile as that call is answered by the echoing laughter of another loon from somewhere across the dark lake. Such moments, poignant and inspiring, are gifts offered to us by our natural world ... The common loon is the official provincial bird of Ontario. The name derives from their rather awkward

way of moving on land, resembling the gait of a bent-over penguin. The Icelandic word “lomr” and the Swedish word “lom,” from which the term “loon” derives, both refer to “a clumsy walk.” In water, however, the loon is a powerful swimmer and diver, allowing this aquatic bird to chase down its main food source — small fish. Cliff's vast knowledge and insights will allow us to explore the world of loons, including their various habitats, classic calls and habits. He will demonstrate how man's intrusion into the natural world is threatening the existence of these beautiful birds. In the second part of his presentation, Cliff will outline the findings of the 2016 Mississippi Lake Loon Survey. In summary of this survey, Cliff writes: “Our iconic common loons are now gathering upon our larger lakes in large rafts all across Canada, ready for takeoff to the warmer south for the winter. Groups of up to sixty should be found now on the Big Mississippi Lake. Many of these local loons were counted this summer, as breeding pairs and chicks were surveyed during the Mississippi Lake Loon Survey, conducted by members of the MVFN, in conjunction with the Mississippi Lakes Association (MLA). MVFN observers were divided into four teams of two, and each team was supplied with an MLA boat driver. The teams made three visits to the lakes during the months of June, July, and
August. The local loon survey is part of the Canadian Lakes Loon Surveys conducted across our country by Bird Studies Canada”. Cliff Bennett is one of the founding members of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists and is the pastpresident of this organization. He has been the recipient of several regional, provincial and national awards for his work in the area of conservation. The MVFN Champion for Nature Award is most special to him because it was presented to him by his peers, the people who, in his words, “inspire him to continue doing the activities for which he received the award”. Cliff is an avid birder and canoeist. He is also one of the people responsible for the development of MVFN's flagship Environmental Education Program (EEP). The Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary Fund was created in 2007 by Cliff's many friends to honour his contributions to the community and nature. Everyone is welcome to attend this meeting, with the doors opening at 7 p.m. for those wishing to socialize until the start of the presentation. Refreshments are available then and during the evening. A discussion will follow the talk. There is a non-member fee of $5. There will be no charge for MVFN members or youth 18 and under. For information, please contact MVFN's program chair Gretta Bradley at glbradley@icloud.com or visit mvfn.ca.

Otters look and behave very much like seals BY MICHAEL RUNTZ
The word “seal” likely conjures up images of a large, dark blobs bobbing in the ocean or slung across barnacle-encrusted rocks. While seals fit that bill, one local animal has looks and behaves very much like a seal. While not true seals, otters belong to the same group of predatory animals (the carnivores), and are distant cousins to seals. Two otter species live in North America: the sea otter, which inhabits Pacific coastal waters; and the river otter, which occupies freshwater habitats across much of North America (but also occurs along coastal shores). River otters are regularly seen in local waterways but are often viewed only for brief periods for they travel a lot, especially in winter; male otters have been known to occupy territories as large as 200 km2! Otters are weasels (mustelids) and so are related to fisher, marten, mink, and other species in that group. They are the most aquatic
weasels, and while mink also swim, that species spends much time along shores, rarely venturing far from them. Otters, however, are true masters of the water, crossing large lakes and travelling big rivers. They are wonderful swimmers, owning short legs and large, webbed feet. Their tail, which comprises a third of their total body length, is distally flattened from side to side to serve as a rudder and provide bursts of speed. Otters can’t float (they constantly tread water) but can stay submerged for up to four minutes, which is why they seldom remain at the surface for long. Sensory whiskers called vibrissae adorn the face and help them navigate underwater, especially in dark and murky conditions. Fish are a main food but crayfish, frogs, snakes, and even bird eggs are also eaten. I once watched an otter on the ice eating tiny painted turtles that had been lying dormant on the bottom of the pond. The sound of its large canines cracking through the turtles’ armour was un-
forgettable. Like many carnivores, river otters have an unusual reproductive cycle. Females mate in late winter and give birth the following year just before becoming receptive again. While their pregnancy might seem to last a year, the attachment of the embryonic blastocyst to the uterus wall occurs only about a month before birth occurs. This unusual system called delayed implantation allows otters and other carnivores to mate at a time favourable to them, and give birth in a suitable time of year. Now is an excellent time for viewing otters. They frequently appear on the ice at the edge of open water to dine or roll around to clean
their fur. Otter fur is particularly dense: nearly 58,000 hairs per cm2 adorn the back. This density keeps water from reaching the skin, essential when swimming in ice-cold water. Currently, otters are creating “scent posts” on top of the ice. Piles of droppings adorned with scents released by a pair of anal glands mark territories and announce amorous desire. Mating is seemingly a violent affair, with the male grabbing the female by the neck with his teeth, and the pair rolling around for extended periods. If you’ve never seen an otter, you “ought-er” soon head down to a local waterway before the ice is gone for good. The Nature contact is mruntz@start.ca

exceptions, the officers, directors and shareholders of a limited liability corporation are shielded from personal liability for the debts and obligations of the corporation. This limited liability shield distinguishes a corporation from other forms of business entities including proprietorships and partnerships.
Suppose your business is the retail sale of imported furniture. You purchase and pay for the furniture from your supplier and have the furniture delivered to your customer directly from the supplier. The furniture is delivered badly damaged, is not accepted by the customer, and your customer demands return of the monies paid. You seek compensation from your supplier but find out your supplier is bankrupt. You do not have the money to refund the customer. Are your home and other personal assets exposed to the customer’s claims? If your business is incorporated, you rely on the protection of limited liability to shield your home and other personal assets.

your home and other personal assets would be fully exposed to the customer’s claims.
There are exceptions. You cannot rely on corporate protection to shield yourself from your own unlawful or tortious acts. You must ensure that your contracts clearly identify the corporation as the contracting party. There are also statutory exceptions that may expose directors to claims, such as claims by CRA for the failure to remit HST or make employee source deductions. Use of a limited liability corporation is an important tool that limits exposure of your home and other personal assets. Your professional advisors can inform you how to fully utilize the advantages of incorporation, and on the use of other strategies to limit or legally avoid other risks including the use of properly structured contracts and appropriate insurance.
