SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
It’s a memory quilt made from Tshirts. It’s the work of Carp resident Jody Heath who made the T-shirt quilt as a memory keepsake for her daughter, but who also found that it was a memory quilt for herself as well, spurring memories of all of the sporting activities that her daughter had enjoyed over the years. It all began as her daughter was growing up and involved in numerous activities. Jody, like a good mom, started saving the team jerseys and participation T-shirts from her daughter’s activities, events like the Diefenbooker Classic, the Dunrobin Kids of Steel Triathlon, a Westboro Beach Triathlon, the Ontario Youth Soccer League and more. When she was collecting these Tshirts and team jerseys, Jody had no idea what she was going to do with them, if anything. However, she kept saving them, figuring that an idea for their use may come up sooner or later. Jody is an avid participant with the Carp Fair’s homecraft division. She loves to grow through the exhibit area at the fair, viewing all of the homemade items that people enter. See T-SHIRT, page 4

AGM for Huntley Community Association BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
It’s coming! The annual general meeting of the Huntley Community Association (HCA) will be held on Thursday, April 6 at 7 p.m. at the Mess Hall on Craig Side Road in Carp. This is an opportunity for Carp area residents to hear about the various activities and events which the HCA organizes. Hear also about the volunteer opportunities which exist for residents wanting to be involved with the HCA. Light refreshments will be served at this AGM, with everyone welcome to attend. The HCA is a not-for-profit volunteer-led group of local residents who want to make a difference in the community. Current members of the HCA Board of Directors include Ingrid Hunt, president; Charlene Johnston, vicepresident; Ashley Colls, treasurer; Karen Holliday, secretary and Mess Hall director; Brian Nemes, bar events co-director; Karen Nemes, bar events co-director; Sam Bakewell, director of financial sustainability; George Tzavelas, technology director; Kara Ruscher, membership director; Jocelyn Everest Bellefeuille, communications director; Martin Pieroni, outdoor rink director; Vicki Price, special events co-director; Shelley McCormick, special events co-director; and Allan Joyner, director at large (community liaison). The position of sports director is vacant. HCA regular meetings are normally held on the second Thursday of every month at the Mess Hall on Craig Side Road. The meetings are open to the public. Since its inception, the HCA has been active in spearheading the creation of sports and recreation facilities in
Perth Street Dental
the community, including raising money for their construction. The community’s original softball diamond was located near the Agricultural Hall on the Carp fairgrounds. The current ball diamonds were built in the 1960s. The original outdoor skating rink for the community was located on Rivington Street, built sometime in the 1940s. In the early 1970s, the HCA raised money to build a new outdoor rink facility. One of the biggest events of this fundraising was a “walk” between Carp and Kinburn with participants raising funds through pledges. Another fundraiser was a snowmobile drag race. The tennis courts in Carp were built in the mid-1970s after the outdoor rink. The W. Erskine Johnston Arena was opened in the early 1980s. The soccer fields in the community were built in the early 1990s when Langstaff Drive was extended. The Mess Hall was part of Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Carp (Diefenbunker). The base personnel used the facility for recreation and social purposes. The HCA used the ball diamonds behind the Mess Hall. After CFS Carp was decommissioned in 1994, the HCA purchased the Mess Hall building from the government for use as a meeting place. The Mess Hall is now available for receptions, parties and gatherings. The facility can seat about 100 people and has a fully-equipped kitchen and stage area.
Annual general meeting of Huntley Community Association on April 6 BY ALLAN JOYNER Special to the Review
Carp’s community association, the Huntley Community Association, is asking anyone in the area who is interested in contributing to Carp and the surrounding area to join them for the annual general meeting on Thursday, April 6th at the Mess Hall Community Centre on Craig Side Road. There will be presentations on volunteer opportunities, reports on various aspects of the group’s business, and descriptions of some new ways for the HCA to contribute. Refreshments and a reception will follow the business portion of the evening. The reception will give attendees an opportunity to meet current volunteers and to look over volunteer job descriptions to see where their time and talents might be of use. The HCA’s ability to run its many events and programs relies on people stepping forward to donate some of their time and their skills. In the past year, several new members were key volunteers at events such as the popular summer Drive-In movies and the Santa Claus Parade. The new members helped behind the scenes as well. This is going to be an exciting year in the village with ideas for some new events just waiting for volunteers to help make them a reality for local residents.

It was like Naloxone 101 with Mark Barnes as the instructor. Barnes, who has been gaining a reputation as “Captain Naloxone” in the Ottawa area because of his advocacy for the spread and use of naloxone kits to counteract the effects of an opioid overdose, explained all about naloxone, its benefits and its proper use to an audience of some 125 people of all ages, including a number of youth, at an information meeting at the Anglican Parish of Huntley church hall in Carp on Wednesday evening, March 22. He made it very clear, though, that a naloxone kit is not a miracle treatment for an opioid overdose. Rather, naloxone only blocks the effects of an opioid overdose for a small amount of time. That’s why when an overdose happens, it is imperative that a call be placed to 911. Naloxone only counteracts the opioid overdose effects for minutes, and it is only the arrival of paramedics who can then take other steps which will result in preventing death from the opioid overdose. Barnes made it clear that the use of naloxone is “super safe” as it only works in the case of an opioid overdose. It has no impact if there is no opioid overdose happening. But the effect of naloxone is very limited in duration, which is why Barnes kept emphasizing that the job of a person with a naloxone kit is to keep the overdosed person alive until paramedics can arrive on the scene. Nothing more, nothing less. Barnes demonstrated how a naloxone kit is used, with its gloves, mask, alcohol swabs, syringes and two vials of the life-saving naloxone. He advised that a person administering naloxone will be nervous because a person is potentially dying right in front of you, but he demonstrated how to get the liquid from the naloxone vial into the syringe and then how to plunge the syringe into an arm or leg muscle area to
administer the naloxone to the patient. This must be followed by the administering of CPR to the patient, applying chest compressions, which is simply pushing hard and fast consistently in the middle of the person’s chest. If the naloxone does not seem to be working as the person is still exhibiting the symptoms of an opioid overdose, then a second naloxone shot should be administered. Each naloxone kit contains two syringes and two vials of naloxone for just such a situation. Your job is to make sure the person stays alive until the paramedics get there, Barnes reiterated to those at the meeting, saying that when the paramedics arrive, they will insert a tube down the throat of the person, allowing the person to breathe and continue living.

Naloxone kits are available at many pharmacies - and for free! Continued from page 3
While naloxone kits were handed out at this meeting, naloxone kits are available at many pharmacies. They are available free to anyone with a valid Ontario health card. The only criteria for obtaining a kit is that the person must be using opioids for medical reasons, be addicted to them or be a person with a family member or a friend who may be at risk of an opioid overdose. Barnes explained that these criteria cover virtually everyone in Ontario. And Barnes was adamant in his view that everyone should possess a naloxone kit, saying that there is “no reason why anybody should not have a kit.” He commented that the use of opioids needs to be dis-

cussed in schools as early as Grade 5, not in Grade 10 as currently happens. He said that when they are discussed and explained in Grade 5, it means that when students reach the higher grades, they have the knowledge that allows them to make informed decisions. Barnes, who is an addiction specialist as well as a pharmacist, explained that opioids are good medications when used appropriately to relieve pain. Indeed, many opioids are prescribed in Ontario for such purposes. But the danger arises when these prescribed opioids are used improperly, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs, or when the opioids are illicit ones produced by drug dealers. These illicit opioids can kill a person because they can have deadly amounts of drugs like fentanyl. And a deadly amount can be as little as a grain of salt. In addition, there is always the danger of cross contamination so that weed sold by a drug dealer may be contaminated with fentanyl and so have a deadly overdose impact. Drug dealers don’t know what they are doing necessarily, Barnes said, telling a story about one of his addiction patients who used to use heroin but now just smokes a joint of
marijuana before bed. The marijuana purchased at a storefront in Ottawa was tainted with fentanyl, cocaine and other drugs. Symptoms of an overdose include a decreased level of consciousness, pinpoint pupils that result in a zombielike appearance (constricted pupils), deep snorting or gurgling sounds (a death rattle), blue lips or fingernails, a limp body and vomiting. In addition, the respiratory rate drops so you cannot see them breathing, the heart rate disappears so there is no pulse and blood pressure drops. In other words, the person is dying right before you and unless you have naloxone available, the person will die before paramedics can arrive on the scene. The information meeting also included a presentation by Danielle Vernooy of Ottawa Public Health, who provided information about opioids, which are simply pain medications that when used properly are efficient and beneficial. They are commonly prescribed medications, but they can be abused. Of particular concern are illicit opioids, which are not only much stronger drugs, but are also more toxic. They can have doses of drugs in them that can be deadly. She urged that parents talk to their chil-

dren about drugs, but advised that parents should know the facts in any such sharing of information. A parent should ask a child about what’s going on in their lives and what they know about drugs. And the most important thing that a parent can do in talking with a child about drugs? — listen. “It’s really important to listen,” nurse Vernooy said, adding that teens want their parents to be involved in their lives and parents need to be open, supportive and involved. This information meeting was organized by Rev. Monique Stone of the Anglican Parish of Huntley after she had had difficulties obtaining a naloxone kit. She eventually connected with Mark Barnes and they have since then held an opioid overdose workshop for clergy. A decision was also made to hold this March 22 information meeting for the public to provide information about opioid overdose prevention and naloxone kits. Representatives of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and the Youth Services Bureau were also presented at the meeting with information about the counselling and other work which they do in the community.

She happened to see a memory T-shirt quilt on exhibit and the idea stuck with her. However, now that she had the idea of what to do, she still had one problem, and a major one at that. She did not know how to quilt. This problem was soon solved thanks to a good friend of hers who led her through the basics of quilting. After doing a few easy quilts, Jody felt ready to tackle the T-shirts and jerseys. The pattern is very basic, with the T-shirts laid out in a regular block format. But it proved to be a bit of a challenge working with the T-shirt and jersey material. But Jody got it completed and she is very pleased with the result. Now her daughter has a fantastic keepsake of all of the sport-
ing activities of her youth. She enjoyed doing these activities and now she can enjoy remembering them all thanks to this T-shirt/ jersey quilt. There are several Diefenbooker Classic Tshirts in the quilt and this year’s Classic is slated to go on Saturday, May 6. This year’s 21st annual Diefenbooker Classic is being dedicated in memory of Brenda Robertson. There will be 5K and 10K races, 5, 18 and 33K cycle tours, a 5K walk and youth events such as a 1K race and “Loonie Lap” short races. To register for this year’s Diefenbooker Classic, go to the Diefenbooker Classic Facebook page. For more information about this year’s Diefenbooker Classic, please email diefenbooker@gmail.com.
New members always welcome at West Carleton 4-H square dance club BY ARIELLE AUBREY
The Galetta Hall is filled with twirls and spins on Wednesday evenings. That’s because it’s the site of the weekly meetings of the West Carleton 4-H square dance club, which is underway again this year. This year’s West Carleton 4-H square dance club is a mix of both returning and new members, with Cheryl Stanton and Barry Paul serving as leaders. The club’s first meeting started off with the election of officers, with Adrianna Martin elected as president.
Other officers are Meaghan Zeibarth as vice-president, Erin Nicholson as secretary, Arielle Aubrey as press reporter and Shaylyn James as social media co-ordinator. Following the election, members spent some time getting to know each other before the first class proceeded. Then the dancing began, with returning members refreshing their memories of the dancing while the new members started learning the ropes of two-stepping. While the first couple of dances began with some stepped-on toes
and giggles, after a short while these 4-H’ers had found their rhythm and they were flying through the dances with twirls and spins. The 4-H members at this initial meeting also practised judging at the meeting. And the judging focused on determining the best square dancingrelated fruit and vegetable platter. This year’s meetings of the West Carleton 4-H square dance club will be held every Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Galetta Hall. New members are always welcome. Drop in at a meeting and join in on the fun and learning.
Jask’s Team Members are proud to announce that we are Finalists for the West Ottawa Board of Trades Customer Service of the Year Award!

Two health services providers tell their stories at info meeting BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
John Curry/Metroland
Andy Rapoch (centre) seniors director for the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association, is with Tamara Awada (left) of the Constance Bay Pharmacy and Megan Richards (right) of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre who were the two speakers at the evening health services information session at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre on Thursday, March 23.
A Community Resource Centre and a pharmacy are two players in the delivery of health services in Constance Bay. These two health services providers told their stories at an information meeting at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre on Thursday evening, March 23. Megan Richards of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and Tamara Awada of the recently opened Constance Bay Pharmacy in Constance Bay explained to those at the meeting their roles in the provision of health services in the community. Megan Richards told about the new Community Helpers program that can allow a person to change his or her own life, as well as the lives of others. It is a new comprehensive training program that builds on a person’s knowledge and skills to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges seniors face every day. This training then allows the person to be able to effectively reach out and make a difference in the life of a neighbouring senior. The need for such a program arose out of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre’s consultations with the community last spring about what is needed to help seniors in the community age in place in their own homes and
communities. The Community Helpers program is meant to allow seniors in the community to receive the support that they need when they need it thanks to being connected with a supportive Community Helper with whom they will have developed a supportive relationship. A Community Helper, on the other hand, will be a person in the community who cares about his or her neighbours and wants to be there to provide support and information. Just volunteering to be a Community Helper will not merit Community Helper status. The person interested in becoming a Community Helper must take a threeday training course developed by Algonquin College. This course will deal with topics such as fall prevention, the signs of dementia, depression and delirium, loneliness and social isolation, grief and mourning, caregiver support, aging and diversity in society, elder abuse and community services and resources available in the community. Megan pointed out that there are a lot of services and resources available but if a person does not know about them, then there is a problem. She warned that a person’s situation can change quickly due to a fall or a medical diagnosis and it is always best if a person is aware right away of the resources that exist in the community to handle such a changed situation.

She said that previous attempts to match people who want to help out with someone who needs support have not worked well because the helper has lacked the information and background needed to make it a successful long term relationship. The new Community Helpers program, with its training component, is meant to ensure that a person wanting to help others has the tools and knowledge necessary to provide the support needed. This Community Helpers program which has been launched is a two-and-a-half year project that has the goal of training 400 people in becoming Community Helpers. This number includes not only those in Constance Bay and West Carleton but also those in other rural areas served by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. Two training sessions are already planned, one this week in Constance Bay and another running on three Saturdays in April and May at the West Carleton Legion in Constance Bay. There has also been quite a bit of interest in the train-
Huntley students seeking bottles SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Your bottles can help the Grade 8 graduating class at Huntley Centennial Public School in Carp. That’s because the grads are holding a bottle drive fundraiser to help with expenses related to their graduation ceremony and accompanying dance. The grads will be holding a bottle drive in the village of Carp and surrounding areas on Saturday, April 22 between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. If you have bottles or cans to donate, you can leave these empties on your driveway for pickup on that day, or the empties can be picked up at the home. In addition, drop-off empties will be accepted in the school’s parking lot between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. If you would like your empties picked up before April 22 or if you will not be home on April 22 and would like the empties picked up before then, please contact althomas@xplornet.ca.

ing being shown by church groups. In addition, Megan would like to provide the training to high school students during the summer. Tamara Awada, who opened her Constance Bay Pharmacy in Constance Bay last December, explained at the meeting that a pharmacist is the most accessible health care professional in a community. There is no appointment needed and the pharmacist is right there in the pharmacy, ready and able to provide medical experience and knowledge to help people with their medical situations. She noted that everyone has made her feel needed and appreciated since she opened her pharmacy. Among the services that Tamara offers is free delivery of prescriptions which she does in person, as well as
home visits for housebound seniors where she will look over the medications in the home and determine which ones are needed and which ones, if any, can be discarded. She explained that she has naloxone kits on hand in the pharmacy which are available free of charge to anyone with a health card. Such a kit can be life saving if an opioid overdose happens to occur. She said that she is open to be involved with anything that will benefit the community as she wants to make a difference in the health resources available in the Constance Bay community. Tamara intentionally opened her own business in order to bring a pharmacy back to its roots where a pharmacist is involved in the community and is a community resource.

For too long, Veterans have been unable to provide to the public, to their families, and to their work, a reliable and well known form of identification that proves their service. This is why I am bringing forward a called the Honouring Our Veterans Act 2017 I’m suggesting that the driver’s license be modified with a small yellow stripe bearing the word ‘Veteran’. The same would go for Ontario Identification Cards for those who don’t have a driver’s license. This modification will be optional, of course, and it would be an easy and inexpensive way to recognize Veterans in our province. The benefits of the Honouring our Veterans Act are many, whether proving years of service in the military to secure a new job, or so that our first responders can know right away that they are helping a Veteran in need. Businesses may be open to using this identification to provide specific products or services to Veterans, and may even go so far as to offer them discounts. The simple justification for the Honouring our Veterans Act is this: Veterans served on our behalf in some of the most dangerous places on the planet. They return home and hand in their equipment. But they don’t forget about their service, and neither should we. It’s time to list Veteran on their government identification. My Bill will be debated in the Ontario legislature on March 30th. Stay posted for further details!

There’s never enough hockey in this town
T
he Stanley Cup has been sighted in Ottawa. No the Senators haven’t yet grasped hockey’s holy grail, but the mug has been touring the town. Rideau Hall hosted the Cup during March break and the lineups to have photos taken with the famous silverware snaked through the old building’s hallways. No one seemed to mind the wait, and the hockey fans there were giddy when they reached the front of the line and got a chance to touch a piece of history. It’s a sign of the passion Ottawans feel for Stanley. The Cup also visited the site of a future permanent monument to the trophy at Sparks and Elgin streets. Some NHL greats and the Governor General were on hand to break ground at the site last week. The city’s residents and visitors will soon
be able to mug for photos with a replica of the Stanley Cup. More passion. And in the coming weeks we’ll enjoy the late-season drama of the NHL and get behind our Ottawa Senators run to the playoffs. Bars will fill up. Elgin Street will turn red – the colour of passion. After we enjoy our warmer months and the nation’s 150th birthday celebrations, we’ll be able to slap on toques and mittens to watch those same Sens take on the rival Montreal Canadiens at TD Place. Stanley will no doubt be there on Dec. 16 too, as the first game in NHL history – played between Ottawa and Montreal in Ottawa on Dec. 19, 1917 – is celebrated a century later. It’s true, despite having just made it through one winter, many will be looking forward to the next one. Yes, we’re just a little hockey crazy.

here are those of us who despair of current conditions. Just the other day someone contacted the CBC in Ottawa to complain about cars blocking the road while they waited to get into a drive-thru coffee place. There were parking places available, but no one wanted to get out of their car. She’s right. Obviously some people actually need the drive-thru service. The rest of us are just too lazy to care that we’re polluting the atmosphere and blocking traffic. The restaurants don’t dare stop the service. And city governments are too gutless to do anything substantial about it. But you know, we’re probably not stuck with it forever. Just as we’re not stuck with telemarketers and electronic noise in the arena and commercials at the movies and all

seemed, people stopped providing ashtrays in their houses. At dinner parties, you didn’t light up without being stared at. Among adults, smoking, which was once thought of as the height of sophistication, became uncool. Among younger people, smoking retained some of its cool factor, but smoking among young people has diminished too. So the biggest factor in the smoking reduction is a change in people’s attitudes. And smoking is not the only area where that has happened. In 1966, there was no such thing as the designated driver. To give another example, in 1966 North America, there was no such thing as bottled water — at least to the extent that it has existed in recent years. Then bottled water arrived and seemed inevitable. And now it’s leaving, at least in places like this. It was cool for a while, then people started thinking about all that plastic, and about the good
clean water they can get for nothing. So don’t despair. Change is possible. Recently, a pro basketball game was played in New York with no music, no noise, no promotions during the first half. Just the sounds of the game. Reaction was mixed, but the fact it was attempted is significant. Maybe some day no telemarketers.

Suffering from Post Farming Stress Disorder
T
his was a hard week for the Farmer and me. We had a calf born to one of our original cows, Ginger the Difficult. Over the years, Ginger has become considerably easier to approach and deal with, even letting me feed her apples from my hand. She has come a long way since she arrived here in 2008. Unfortunately, when she has a new calf, all bets are off. If you try to approach the calf, you will get a strong head butt to your side that has the potential to break ribs. If you need to get some colostrum from her to feed a weak calf, you might as well look elsewhere. Hopefully you have some from another cow in the freezer. Because you aren’t getting within a foot of Ginger’s udder. Her foot. In your face. And so, when for the third year in a row Ginger had a calf with no urge to suckle and very little will to thrive, we had to say goodbye. As we awaited Dennis the drover, I tried to feed the calf one last time. I wanted him to at least have a belly full of warm milk because I didn’t know what the next few days would hold for him. When Dennis saw me struggling to feed the calf a bottle of milk replacer, he decided he wouldn’t take it to market after all. “I’m going to drop it off at Neil’s,” he announced. “Maybe he can do something with it.” I wiped the tears and snot off my face (might have been mine; could have been the calf’s) and breathed a big sigh of relief and hope. Ginger went to market and the calf went to a farm around the corner from us, where I am told the farmer has had a great deal of luck nursing weak calves back to

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife
Thanks to Ginger the Difficult and her new calf health. I called Neil a day later and got a report on the calf. He had given the calf electrolytes and let it rest covered in hay in the warm sun before intubating and filling its stomach with milk replacer. He agreed that it was having trouble suckling but he said it was getting the hang of it. He said he had a few other mama cows that might even adopt it.
Well that made me feel better. I like to think we do everything we can for our animals to provide a comfortable and safe existence. I hate to see any of them not doing well. During the first week of that calf’s life, I fed it during the day and lay awake worrying about it at night. Each morning I realized I was nervous that another weak calf would be born and we would have to go through
the whole process again. Carry it to the barn, give it a shot, test the mother’s udder to make sure the milk flows, try to get the calf to stand and suckle. Feed it by bottle if necessary. If you can get it to take a bottle. It’s so much easier when you just go out to the barn and find a new mother standing there with her calf that is already dried off and suckling. So when the Farmer came in this morning from his rounds and announced a new calf was born and he needed my help, I had a sinking feeling. I dragged my heels and said I was going out and didn’t want my hair to smell like barn. “What do you need my help for? I don’t think I can handle another calf like the last one. I get too emotional. Maybe we are getting too old for this farming business. Let’s stick to chickens. Maybe you should take up building furniture as a hobby instead…” “Oh just forget it then, I can do it myself…”he said, refilling his coffee mug before stepping back into his boots. Ugh. I hate it when he is disappointed. We went to the barn and he climbed into the pen with the calf and the new mother. I held the shepherd’s crook in front of her leg so that she would hit it before she hit my husband’s head if she decided to kick. The milk flowed from the udder. The calf stood. He latched on to his mother and found the milk. All is well. I breathed a sigh of relief, and apologized for all that I had said while suffering from Post Farming Stress Disorder. www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

Be prepared for Miss Crosby’s weekend stay
I
t was our turn. We had been anticipating the weekend for months. And now it was finally here. Our beloved teacher would be coming home with us on Friday night and staying until Father took us back to school on Monday morning. There were very few families who weren’t given the privilege of having Miss Crosby stay over. Rich or poor, it was considered an honour to play host to the teacher once a year. And now, finally, she would be coming to spend the time with us. This meant, of course, the house would have to be cleaned from top to bottom, even the places where Miss Crosby wouldn’t be going near. Like the back bedroom where the three brothers slept. But it too had to be scrubbed, and like the other beds, even though it wasn’t wash day until Monday, the sheets were changed right through the house. And the meals! What feasts were planned by Mother! Fresh apple and raisin pies were on the
bake table, freshly baked bread filled the bread box, sticky buns were in the warming closet over the Findlay Oval, and our best dishes, the only ones that matched and came from puffed wheat bags from Briscoe’s General Store, were washed and dried, just in case a fleck of dust was on any of them since they were last used. Of course, the red-checked oil cloth was taken off the table, rolled on a broom stick, and tucked under Mother and Father’s bed, and the white linen tablecloth Mother had brought from New York was freshly washed and ironed, with its matching napkins to be placed beside each plate. Father thought all the fussing was crazy. “She’s just from the farm like the rest of us,” he said. But Mother paid him no heed, and we five kids agreed with her. Having Miss Crosby for a weekend was very special indeed. There would be no walking home from school that Friday night. Father would bring the flat bottom sleigh with the one seat at
MARY COOK Memories the front where he and Miss Crosby would sit, while we kids clung to the back. And that day there would be no changing in our play clothes when we came home from school. We would stay dressed in what we had worn that morning, with the brothers pulling on bib-overalls
over top to do the chores. Supper would be ready early and it would be ample. Roast pork from the smoke house, creamed potatoes, at least two vegetables, cabbage salad, and homemade pickles filled the table, hardly leaving enough room for our plates, and the little glass rack that

held our spoons in the centre, which was only used when we had company. Often the teacher was treated to a Saturday night house party and she joined right in with euchre and the kitchen square dance. And of course, Sunday, the highlight of the weekend, was when she came to church with the family. I had no idea what church she really belonged to, but it wasn’t unusual to have her go to the United, the Anglican and the Lutheran all in the space of a few weeks. Mother would pack her an ample lunch when it was time to go back to school on Monday morning. And I would see her tuck in a small jar of pickles or jam as well. When we settled in for our morning classes, you would never know that Miss Crosby had been with us all weekend. We got no
special treatment, no mention was made of her visit, but I would feel the glow of those few days long into the week ahead. I never knew how it was decided whose home the teacher would visit. Emerson said he thought everyone’s name was in a hat, and she drew one out every week. Audrey said that was pure nonsense. I didn’t care how it was decided. The teacher coming for the weekend was right up there with a visit from the minister, the Reeve of the County at election time, or old Doctor Murphy just dropping in because he happened to be out our way.

Federal budget helps transit, housing BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Ottawa’s wishes for light rail and affordable housing seem to have been granted with the 2017 federal budget. Announced on March 22, the budget includes $20.1 billion over the next 11 years for ambitious transit projects. The first chunk of money — $3.9 billion — will be spent over the next five years. The budget uses Ottawa’s Stage 2 light rail as an example, and Mayor Jim Watson said he’s been assured the $1.15 billion needed for a 50-50 split with the province on the planned extensions to Trim Road and the Ottawa Airport. “Light rail will be a real victory for Orléans,” said Innes Coun. Jody Mitic, adding transit was the biggest “gripe” heard on the campaign trail before taking over the office from Rainer Bloess. “For employers, the concern about the lack of ability to get downtown conveniently was a big issues,” Mitic said, adding he’s already seen economic interest in the area as a result of the planned extension for Stage 2 LRT. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor said it appears the feds have been listening. “The municipalities have been saying that transit and housing are priorities,” he said. “They didn’t just nod and smile, this budget shows they were listening.”
government to ensure the money we receive has the biggest impact,” Taylor said. The $11 billion will be broken down into $5 billion for a national housing fund, $3.17 billion in payments to the provinces and territories to be used to fix up existing units, build new ones or provide rent subsidies and $2.1 billion for homelessness support programs such as mental health and addiction treatment. VETERANS
Mitic said he’s happy to see a $500-million infusion into spending on veterans programs. He said there were gaps in helping soldiers re-enter the private workforce after serving. Mitic, who enlisted when he was 17, had never written a resume before. He said the transition includes a lot of unknowns. “I was a sniper, so I didn’t really understand corporate speak,” he said, adding soldiers sometimes need help to understand how their skills are HOUSING transferable, or what education they The big city mayors, including Ottawa, asked for $12.6 may need to seek in order to be combillion for social housing. The budget came in close, with petitive in the job market. While the budget doesn’t include $11.2 billion being promised over 11 years. “More important than the dollar amount, was the any increased spending in defence, sustainable, long-term funding we were asking for,” said Taylor, who serves as the special liaison for housing and homelessness issues. Taylor said the federal budget shows that the only way to solve the homelessness problem in this country is to get to the root. “It’s important to acknowledge that housing loss prevention is just as important as funding for new units or deferred maintenance,” Taylor said. “You have to treat it like a continuum.” Taylor said there will be a premium on innovative ideas to solve the complex issues of homelessness. “We are going to continue to work with the federal
Mitic said he hoped there could be some investment in the future. “Our military equipment is rusting out,” he said. “Some of the equipment bought for Afghanistan is now a decade old.” The Canadian Navy struggles to keep up with the demand created by the country’s three large coasts, never mind an international presence, Mitic said. “Hopefully commanders on the ground, in the air and on the water are able to convey to the government what the need is,” Mitic said. OPPOSITION Conservative Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre also took aim at defence spending. Poilievre said there is pressure for Canada to meet its NATO contribution of two per cent of GDP spending on defence. “Right now we are only at half that,” he said. Aside from defence, Poilievre said the Liberal government is taking credit for Stage 2 LRT spending that was earmarked by the former Conservative government. See FEDERAL BUDGET, page 14

Ward 5 West Carleton-March Wildlife Speaker Series As part of the Wildlife Strategy, the City of Ottawa initiated a Wildlife Speaker Series to increase residents’ knowledge and appreciation of wildlife, and promote coexistence through understanding and respect. Two events are planned for 2017, and the first one is taking place on Thursday, April 6, 2017 and is called “Celebrating Canada’s Wildlife.” In honour of Canada’s 150th anniversary, and leading up to National Wildlife Week (April 9 to 15), the City invites residents to learn more about Canada’s iconic wildlife. The event will include displays by local organizations and a presentation by renowned naturalist Michael Runtz.

12 teams in IP Fun Day at Stittsville SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
It was called the “IP Fun Day” and for good reason as IP (Initiation Program) hockey players from the area gathered at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville on Saturday, March 25 for a day of games. It was fun, IP style! And adding to the fun was the involvement of Canadian Tire’s Kanata store which provided loot bags for all the 194 players on 12 teams. Each player also got a participation trophy and two players even went home with brand new bicycles thanks to the generosity of Canadian Tire. Elizabeth Malcomson, general manager of the Kanata store, and Josh Buchko, the store’s retail operations manager, were both on hand at the event to make the draw to determine the winners of the bicycles. The winners were announced in a centre ice ceremony which included not only Elizabeth and Josh but also Stittsville Minor Hockey Association (SMHA) president Ryan Goodwin, SMHA IP director Andrew Staniforth and the Ottawa 67’s mascot Riley. Winners of the bicycles which were donated by the Kanata CTC store were Landon Brown of the Stittsville Shark Attack team and Keaton Currah of the Kanata Lightning Bolts team. The name of every player at the IP Fun Day was included in the draw for the bicycles. The SMHA also used the occasion of the centre ice ceremony to present a memento to the Malcomson family and the Kanata CTC store for their 20 years supporting the IP hockey programs in the area. The store continues to be a major sponsor of the IP programs not only for the SMHA but also for the IP programs of the Kanata Minor Hockey Association, the West Carleton Minor Hockey Association and the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association. In a message in the IP Fun Day program booklet, Pamela Malcomson of the Kanata Canadian Tire store wrote “We pride ourselves on equipping the teams in Stittsville, Richmond, West Carleton and Kanata IP with sweaters, socks, goalie gear, water bottles, ice dividers, pylons and basically anything else the IP coordinator has asked for. It is our please to give each player a trophy today and small door prize as a keepsake of the tournament today. This year we have added some surprises for parents in the (loot) bag as well.” This IP Fun Day saw the participation of 12 IP teams from the four participating minor hockey associations in the area. Each team played two games during the day long event. Stittsville Minor Hockey Association teams in this IP

I had the pleasure of hosting, alongside the Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Lawrence MacAuley, farmers from across Ontario and Quebec at the 2017 Farmers on the Hill Breakfast. The breakfast was a great opportunity to thank the farmers for the job they do every day across our country. As I have said on many occasions, if you like to eat, thank a farmer.

I once again had the pleasure of sharing my experience with one of Canada’s bright young women as part of the University of Toronto’s “Women in House” parliament shadow program. This time I had the great opportunity of having an inspiring and motivated student, Claire Robbins, as a shadow. I was also delighted in having the opportunity to speak to all the young ladies attending the reception the previous evening.
Hockey Celebrations in the Nation’s Capital
Over the past week, I had the opportunity of attending, on two separate occasions, events related to our nation’s love of hockey. At the first event, I had the pleasure of representing the Honourable Minister of Heritage, Mélanie Joly, at the 125th anniversary celebration of the Stanley Cup at the Canadian Tire Centre. Among the NHL alumni invited to the event included some of the greatest names to ever lace up the skates; including Guy Lafleur, Frank Mahovlich, and Dave Keon. I also had an opportunity to represent the city of Ottawa at the Rogers Hometown Hockey event taking place at the Canal Ritz. It was wonderful to meet and chat with Ron MacLean and Tara Slone. The Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour has been making stops in communities across Canada all winter long celebrating Canada’s game as “the ultimate hockey fan experience”. In Ottawa it certainly lived up to its claim!

I had the honour of attending a reception at the French Embassy commemorating the Centennial anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. The Vimy Foundation perhaps best describes the significance to Canada of the Battle of Vimy Ridge: “The battle, which took place on April 9, 1917, is commonly highlighted as a turning point in Canadian history, where four Canadian divisions fought together as a unified fighting force for the first time. While 3,598 Canadian soldiers were killed during the battle, the impressive victory over German forces is often cited as the beginning of Canada’s evolution from dominion to independent nation.” I hope we all take a moment to thank those to whom we owe so much.

teacher, moved from the stone farm house to a bungalow on Carp Road in Carp in the 1960s. In his 1968 book, Carleton Saga, Harry Walker outlined Erskine’s contributions to agriculture in the area as follows: “He pioneered in the introduction of Calf Club organizations, leading to the formation of 4H Clubs. For this and his service in livestock judging, the Carleton County Federation of Agriculture named him president in 1948, from which he gravitated by his leadership to represent ten eastern Ontario counties as a member of the executive of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. It was a natural corollary that for over 35 years, he should be so closely identified with the Carp fair with its high rating …” Erskine is quoted by Harry Walker as stating that his real practical education about people and agriculture happened not from his schooling, but arose from his association with rural organizations. “I learned that farming was an essential science and was shown the importance of junior farming, then in its early stages of development,” Erskine is quoted as saying in Carleton Saga. Walker points out that Erskine was one of the first to realize the advantages of rural electrification and telephone communication, promoting both of these advances. He served as a director and president of the Monk

Federal budget Continued from page 11
He thinks this most recent budget will be a problem for his constituents, who are concerned about the growing deficit. The budget projects shortfalls of $23 billion for 2016-17, $25.5 billion next year and $24.4 billion in 2018-19 — an improvement of between $1.5 billion and $2.1 billion since the fall. “The budget comes with a big pile of debt,” Poilievre said. “Which means billions will be spent every year on interest payments.” He said his residents want to see controlled hydro costs, and points to SunTech Greenhouses in Manotick, which had to shut down in March and February due to high electricity bills. “That’s two months where people weren’t working,” he said. Poilievre also took aim at the proposed carbon tax plan, saying it’s a transfer of money from the poor to wealthier Canadians. “People who pay a higher percentage of their income on heating, food and hydro will pay more,” Poilievre said, adding they won’t be able to take advantage of things like rebates for electric cars. “No one working retail making minimum wage is buying a $150,000 electric car,” he said.

Phil Reilly of Kinburn talks about grasses BY JOHN CURRY

There’s Perennial Quaking Grass. Mosquito Grass. Feather Reed Grasses. Korean Feather Reed Grass. Tufted Hairgrass. Fine Leaf Fescue. Blue Oat Grass. Large Blue Hairgrass. Maiden Grasses. Flame Grass. Silver Ban-
ner Grass. Moor Grass. Red Switch Grass. Dwarf Fountain Grass. And these are only some of the ornamental grasses that like the sun. There are numerous other grasses, identified in different ways such as cool season growers, warm season growers, running grasses, clumping grasses, tall grasses and short clump-
forming grasses. Grasses for light to medium shade. Grasses for ground cover. Drought tolerant grasses. Moisture tolerant varieties. Yes, you name it and there is probably a variety of ornamental grass that will meet your need. Who knew that there were so many varieties and types of ornamental

grasses, each with its own features and quirks. Well, Phil Reilly of Kinburn knows and he shared some of his knowledge and tips about ornamental grasses at the March meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society in Stittsville on Tuesday, March 21. Phil operated Reilly’s Country Gardens on Diamondview Road in West Carleton for 25 years until stopping the business six years ago. Phil’s Country Gardens was a nursery which specialized in ornamental grasses. But Phil still delivers talks on ornamental grasses, spreading his knowledge and expertise
about ornamental grasses to others. In his Stittsville presentation, he explained that the popularity of ornamental grasses began in this area in the early 2000’s, following their outbreak in popularity in the United States. He showed a number of slides showing a variety of ornamental grasses, explaining that grasses can be drought resistant or moisture needing or cool season or warm season grasses. He said that cool season grasses grow best in the spring and fall and may go dormant in the hot summer months. See LOTS, page 17

Lots of ornamental grasses Continued from page 16
Warm season grasses, on the other hand, don’t get really going in this area until June or July but hit their prime in the fall when they are known for their leaf colour. Phil explained the difference between running versus clumping grasses. Grasses which spread by runners are not only difficult to dig out but must be planted wisely, especially in a small garden. Clumping grasses get bigger and bigger over time and will eventually fill a whole garden if allowed, Phil said, as they are constantly growing and clumping. He advised that grasses which clump should be planted with separation between them so that they can fill out with competing with another nearby clump. He suggested that when planting grasses that clump, the space between them should be equal to their height. This will ensure that you will have up to 10 or 15 years without having to do a lot of maintenance of the clumps. He said that one of the nice characteristics of ornamental grasses, especially tall ones, is that they move in the wind. He suggested planting tall grasses
where you can see them since in either the morning or evening, the sun will glitter through them. He referred to this sun shining through the grass as “eye catching.” Phil gave the general characteristics of those ornamental grasses that you might want to incorporate in your garden as clump forming, deer resistant, little maintenance once established, drought resistant and few insect problems. He did show some photos of ornamental grass plantings, both on private properties and in public gardens such as the Longwood Gardens in the Philadelphia area which has an extensive collection of ornamental grasses. Phil provided information about ornamental grasses which described the great variety available. Grasses may be annuals, biennials or perennials, may grow short or tall, may flower in the spring or fall, may be prolific self-seeders or be sterile and may be invasive spreaders or well-behaved clump-formers. The information suggests that short clump-forming varieties can be used as edging plants whereas tall varieties can be effective background plants or be
used alone in island beds in lawns. Ordinary gardening practices are all that are required to grow and maintain ornamental grasses successfully. Mid to late spring is the best time to plant nursery-bought perennial ornamental grasses which will allow their root systems to become established over the growing season. Most ornamental grasses prefer well-drained soils or growing in slightly raised beds if the predominant soil is heavy clay. Grasses which grow best during cool weather are especially suited to early fall division and planting. Maintenance of ornamental grasses is relatively easy in that after the second year of growth, just cut back the foliage at least once a year. Clumps of ornamental grasses should be divided so that they do not become unsightly through centre die-off or become too large. Moderate size pieces, with the soil attached to their roots, should be cut off the clump. These new divisions will result in new grass clumps. Their foliage should be cut back to onethird of the original length and the divisions should be kept moist until they get re-established.
Waste Management drops plan BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
The company that operates the landfill on Carp Road is dropping a plan to accept construction waste and debris from Quebec after City of Ottawa opposition and a legal challenge was launched. In a note to the city dated March 27, Waste Management’s director of public affairs informed the city that the company would not go forward with the plan despite having been given the greenlight from the provincial ministry of the environment and climate change. “After discussing the matter with the city and the ministry, we have decided not to proceed with our proposal to include portions of Québec within the service area for the West Carleton Environmental Centre and that we will as soon as practicable take such steps as are necessary to amend the ECA accordingly,” wrote Waste Management’s Wayne French. Both Ward 5 West CarletonMarch Coun. Eli El-Chantiry and Ward 6 Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri were vocal opponents of the
plan. They had met, along with Mayor Jim Watson, with city clerk and solicitor Rick O’Connor to plan an appeal of the province’s approval of the plan. A letter from Waste Management’s legal team dated March 21 was sent to the city indicating that the company may have been having second thoughts. “As a result of our discussions with the city, and in light of the city preserving its appeal rights, I can confirm that Waste Management is taking steps too review its position ... and anticipates provding further information to the city as to its position and next steps in the near future,” Waste Management’s general counsel Don Wright wrote, previewing what was to come in the March 27 communication in which the company informed the city it was retreating from the plan. At the beginning of March the province approved the company’s request to accept construction and demolition material from areas of Quebec. The city’s stated position has long been that the waste facility should only receive material from Ottawa and Lanark County.

Wrestlers to Montreal BY SHAWNA PHILLIPSON
Special to the Review
Fitzroy’s favourite wrestlers had an exciting outing at the recent Montreal Open Wrestling Tournament. Along with coach Kevin Mayhew, this Arnprior wrestling team shone at the tournament, with each wrestler placing in their respective age and weight category. Tian Basiala wrestled in the novice age group against teammate Zweh Elmore, winning gold with a pin.
SALE
Zweh took the second place silver. Zeek Elmore and Tristan McLachlan wrestled as tykes in the same weight category. Each wrestler had two matches. Zeek won the silver medal while Tristan came home with the bronze medal. April Toupin brought home a silver medal while Katie won the gold medal in her kid division. These results were amazing considering that for some of the wrestlers, this is their first year wrestling, and this was only their second tournament. The Fitzroy community has been very supportive of this Arnprior wrestling team, giving great support to the team’s fundraisers.

KA FAMILIA FILIPINO FUSION RESTAURANT Ka Familia serves up Filipino Fusion cuisine Dhom Rosete is about to realize his dream. He and his family are opening Ka Familia Filipino Fusion Restaurant at 3570 Strandherd Drive, Nepean. With the Grand Opening April 8, the restaurant will be the peak of Dhom’s career that started in his native Philippines and carried on through 26 years as a restauranteur in London and Wales. “Filipino food is a natural centre of fusion to many different cultures. There is often an aspect of counterpoint in each dish where contrasting flavours such as sweet and salty are paired together to create delicious combinations. It offers a bold combination of flavours influenced by Spain and Asia.” Philippine cuisine continues to evolve as new styles of cooking and ingredients find their way into recipes. Traditional dishes, both simple and elaborate, combine indigenous and foreign influences to create unique, delicious food. Dhom says Philippine cuisine is simple and unique, honest food, using a variety of native ingredients. “Our food is both traditional and modern Filipino with a fusion flair. Each of the 7000+ islands in the Philippines has developed its own style based on local customs and products. Ka Familia takes a regional approach to the cuisine.” Through the years Dhom has gained valuable experience with different cooking techniques at various restaurants. Now he is finally able to serve the food of his homeland. “We pride ourselves in providing warm and friendly service. We have a passion for Filipino food and we want to share it with you. Come and discover the diverse flavours of Filipino cuisine and more. We will use local ingredients wherever possible.Come explore different food combinations.” Ka Familia will earn its reputation with every meal served. As Dhom says, “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning.”

Learn about Panmure at upcoming Historical Society meeting BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
The Story of Panmure Village is the topic of the April meeting of the Huntley Township Historical Society. And telling this story of Panmure will be none other than local author and historian Terry Currie, who had first-hand experience with the Panmure General Store as a youngster. Terry is known for his storytelling and knowledge of the history of the Ottawa Valley and its Irish heritage. His book, The Ottawa Valley’s Great Fire of 1870, is recognized as a definitive description of that tragic happening back in 1870. On Tuesday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m., Terry will be the guest speaker at the Huntley Township Historical Society meeting at the Carp Memori-
al Hall in Carp. In telling the story of Panmure village, he will talk about early pioneer life in the Ottawa Valley. He himself grew up on the family homestead farm in rural Fitzroy township, attending SS No. 3 of Fitzroy and then Arnprior District High School before going on to St. Patrick’s College in Ottawa. Part of his world in his early years was the rural area of Fitzroy and Huntley that included such crossroads communities as Panmure and Marathon — both on the Fitzroy and Huntley town line. The Panmure General Store was among Terry’s earliest memories, he recalls. “My father hitched old Queen to the buggy, and off we went to get a pan of bread and a plug of tobacco from Nellie O’Hara,” Terry notes. “The store was dusty and unpainted. There was a bare scattering of items on the shelves and
the whole place seemed as old as Nellie herself. Panmure had been the general store for the local farmers, the same as a hundred other crossroad stores served the country side of Ontario until the coming of the motor car.” Terry witnessed the final days of this Panmure General Store, as it closed forever in about 1950 when he was still just a youngster.
Belden’s Atlas of 1879 shows Panmure being on the Huntley and Fitzroy town line, several concessions over from Marathon — another identified community on that same town line. The name “Panmure” remains familiar in the area, as the former Huntley and Fitzroy town line is now named Panmure Road. See ROAD SIGNS, page 24

There are also signs on Dwyer Hill Road at Panmure Road identifying that area as the community of Panmure. After growing up in the Panmure area, Terry Currie went on to teach at Almonte District High School start-
ing in 1962. He and his late wife Shirley raised four children on the family farm. He retired from teaching in 2003, going on to obtain his master’s degree in history at the University of Ottawa. His work is focused on the history of

Bees play a role in pollination of crops and flowering plants BY KAREN RUNTZ
Native bees deserve more buzz. Not to be flippant about honeybees and the seriousness of their decline in Canada and around the world. The intent, rather, is to cast some light on the amazing variety of native bees — some 4,000 in Ontario — and their less acknowledged role in the pollination of agricultural crops and flowering plants. Solitary by nature First, some background on these “other bees.” The majority of native bee species are solitary. Unlike honeybees, who live in colonies, most native bees tunnel in soil or nest in cavities and stems. Solitary bees do not produce honey or wax. They are relatively docile and not apt to sting. And they are immune from the mites decimating honeybee colonies. Fuzzy bumble bees are a familiar example, identifiable from an early age. There are 40 kinds in Canada. One of my son’s favourite tops at the age of four was his self-labeled “bumble bee shirt” with its chunky gold and brown stripes. But it’s not all sunny days ahead for them either. Several of these species — like our Yellowbanded Bumble Bee, an important pollinator of a variety of agricultural crops and native plant species — are also disappearing. The species at risk public registry where it is listed as a species of special concern says it has recently declined by at least 34 per cent in areas of southern Canada. Linking the chain Even meat and dairy production are dependent on bees, as alfalfa, a big component in hay (or feed) in Ontario, relies on pollinators, says pollination biologist Susan Chan in Oshawa This Week. “We don’t need bees to make hay but we need bees to set the seed to grow the alfalfa to make the hay,” she adds. Birds, rodents and bears also rely on bees to
pollinate the plants that produce the seeds and fruit they eat. And even our much-maligned dandelions have a link in this “giving” chain. Bees need food from early spring to late fall and the dandelion’s loud flowers offer an early spring tonic of nectar for bees and other beneficial insects. It’s a “pat my back, I’ll pat yours” exchange — but not to be taken literally when it comes to us and bees! Bees need our help and we need theirs Get close to native bees Getting close to native bees is an everyday experience for Jessica Forrest, an assistant professor of Biology at the University of Ottawa who studies bees and pollination. Her research focuses on the ecology and evolution of plantpollinator interactions and the population biology of wild bees. Dr. Forrests’ lab is currently investigating the consequences of warmer summers, variable springtime temperatures and snowpack reductions for bee survival and fitness. We’ll hear more about her findings when she shares “The private lives of native bees” at the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club April 3 meeting. In this presentation, Dr. Forrest will give an overview of the natural history of bees, with a focus on the Canadian fauna. She will also sum-

Card of Thanks In Memory of Robert ‘Bob’ Edwards We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to our family, friends and neighbours for the tremendous outpouring of support during our time of grief in the loss of our husband, father, Poppa and Poppa Bob. We were overwhelmed by the many expressions of sympathy: food offerings, phone calls, cards, visits, online condolences, memorial donations and flowers. Each and every gesture was a source of comfort for us. The amazing attendance at the funeral home, funeral and luncheon were a testament to how much Bob was loved. He loved life, loved everyone he met and treated everyone like family. Thank you to Reverend Valerie Kelly for traveling from Kingston to perform the funeral. Bob enjoyed joking with you every year at the pancake dinner. Thank you to Sterling Bennett for providing the music at the funeral and to the choir at the St. John’s Anglican Church. Special thanks to good friend, Hugh Colton for delivering the eulogy and to Gary and Nora Brown for contributing special memories. Thank you to nephew Steven Bennett for writing a wonderful tribute as well. A big thank you to the honorary pallbearers, Ed Strickland, Dick Magill, Hugh Colton, Steve Commodore, Steve Hughes, Gary Brown and pallbearers Steven Bennett, Adam DeLisle, Dale Edwards, Randy Edwards, David Edwards and Carl Lackey. Extra special thanks to the staff of Lannin Funeral Home: Dale, Alex and Ryan. Dale, we know how hard this was for you being one of Bob’s friends and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the dignified and compassionate treatment along with all of the extra touches and hand holding you provided. Alex and Ryan, thank you for being so attentive, helping us make decisions and being there for us every step of the way. You treated us like family and for that we are ever thankful. Bob was a very special man and his passing has left a huge hole in our hearts. We are very blessed to have a very large and loving family, along with a huge network of friends and neighbours. Thank you all for having been a part of Bob’s life and for honoring him in his passing. ‘Close in our hearts you will always stay. Loved and remembered every day.’ Sincerely, Carole, Teresa, Barb, Vicki and family

Carp Farmers’ Market is coming BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
Get ready for another season of the Carp Farmers’ Market at the Carp fairgrounds. Last year, the Carp Farmers’ Market had a record number of vendors combined with record sales. The 2017 season will begin on Saturday, April 15 with an Easter market. The regular markets will then begin as of Saturday, May 13, with the market running on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. through to October. The Carp Farmers’ Market has been held annually since the first one back in June 1990. A local farmers market in Carp was a dream of the late Hildegarde Anderson, a Carp resident, who had memories of the success of farmers markets in her native province of Saskatchewan. With determination, she pressed ahead to make her dream a reality. Together with her friend Kathy Fischer, Farmers’ Markets Ontario’s marketing specialist
Bob Chorney, and lots of information from the Ontario Ministry of Food and Agriculture, she developed a plan and conducted a series of information meetings. Combined with a publicity campaign, this resulted in the Carp Farmers’ Market, which held its first market day on June 23, 1990, at the Carp fairgrounds. There were 1,000 customers in attendance, and these crowds grew quickly in the succeeding weeks. A nine-member steering committee was formed. A slogan proposed by Janice Browning, “Fresher By A Country Smile,” was adopted along with a harvest basket logo designed by Brian Fallack. The community embraced the concept of a producer-based country market. All products sold at the Carp Farmers’ Market must be grown, raised, produced or manufactured by the vendors themselves. Vendor categories at the Carp Farmers’ Market today include baked goods, clothing, sewing and knitting, food concessions, fruits
and vegetables, garlic growers, horticulture and gardening, jewelry, meats, poultry and dairy, organic foods, arts and crafts, personal care products, pottery, preserves and condiments, specialty farm products, specialty foods, wine and wood crafts. The Carp Farmers’ Market can be contacted by email at info@carpfarmersmarket.ca or by phone at 613-786-1010.
John Curry/Metroland
The Carp Farmers’ Market will be opening for the 2017 season on Saturday, May 13 this year, running through to October at the Carp fairgrounds in Carp.

Wild turkeys starting their courtship rituals BY MICHAEL RUNTZ
On my way home recently I drove by a large field and in the corner of my eye noticed several large, black objects toward the back end of it. The large blobs were puzzling for they looked larger than wild turkeys, birds I often see in fields at this time of year. Curiosity aroused, I stopped and backed up until the field was back in view. Although it was dusk, with my binoculars I could see that there were three individual blobs and that each consisted of two wild turkeys in proximity to each other. The turkeys were not standing side by side and neither were they motionless. They were paired up and facing each other, with each bird pushing its chest against that of its partner, with both of their heads raised in the air. I watched in fascination as they shoved each other back and forth, one bird gaining a few steps only to lose ground again to the other. Wild turkeys are currently starting their courtship rituals. They will soon gather in large groups at favoured sites called leks where the males spread their tails, droop their wings, and strut their stuff. Females mingle with the dancers and only after many days of observation do they allow mating to take place. As is the case with other members of the grouse and pheasant family (Galliformes) that perform courtship displays at leks, the best dancers gain most of the mating opportunities. But it is still a bit early in the year for mating to take place and it is likely that male turkeys are now only sorting out their dominance rankings. The shoving contests that I witnessed are the initial component of a fight. Male turkeys fight to gain status in their social rankings, and those interactions can turn deadly for their legs are equipped with some pretty nasty weapons. Midway up the back of their tarsometatarsus, the lower part of their leg that is the avian equivalent of our ankle

Soon male wild turkeys will be gathering in large groups and performing dramatic displays as part of their courtship rituals at communal sites called leks. and foot bones combined into one structure, is a triangular projection called the “spur.” During aggressive interactions, the males violently kick at each, trying to slice the other with their blades. During an aggressive interaction, a male wild turkey will use its beak to grab the back of an opponent’s neck and try to force its head to the ground. Before an interaction escalates to this level, however, there are some interesting visual signals that are given. A weird fleshy protuberance, the snood, arises from the forehead and hangs over a male’s bill. Usually this structure is relatively short and colourless but when its owner is aroused, it fills with blood and stretches out, becoming bright red as it lengthens. A losing combatant signals defeat by retracting its snood, which quickly loses its bright colour as the blood drains out of it. When winter’s chill finally departs our area for good, wild turkey courtship will begin in earnest. At that time dominance-sorting contests will have greater meaning and fights may become more serious Perhaps you soon might witness aggressive intent in your own “neighbour’s snood!” The nature email is mruntz@start.ca

A weekly guide in legal matters
Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com
My husband and I are separating after three years of marriage. The home we have lived in was mine prior to our marriage and it remains in my name alone. There is significant equity in the home. I understand that our assets will generally be divided equally, but does he have any claim on the equity in the home? It is important to understand the treatment of the matrimonial home upon a marriage breakdown. A matrimonial home is defined as “a property that… was at the time of separation ordinarily occupied by the person and his or her spouse as their family residence…” If your home fits that description then, for legal purposes, it is considered a matrimonial home.
Many people consider this to be generally unfair. If, for example, a party owned an investment account, only the increase in its value would be subject to equalization. However, in the case of a matrimonial home, the legal presumption is that the equity in the property is to be divided evenly between the parties despite who brought it into the marriage.
Upon the breakdown of the marriage, the Family Law Act provides that the parties calculate the net value of their respective assets at the time of marriage and at the time of the breakdown of the marriage, and then equalize the assets that were accumulated during the marriage. One key exception to the calculation of net assets is, in fact, the matrimonial home – if one party brought it into the marriage, he or she does not get to claim it as their own asset brought into the marriage for the purposes of equalization.
There are ways that parties can safeguard themselves in your situation. One way is through a prenuptial contract, and another is by selling the house prior to separation. There are also situations in which you can argue for an unequal distribution of assets – those depend very specifically on the facts of each case. A family lawyer would be able to advise you of your chances of advancing a claim for an unequal distribution in your favour upon a review of your specific circumstances. cumstances.
