The excitement was jaw dropping as Carleton Area (Stittsville, Kanata, Carp and Kinburn) Cubs came together for a first organized Cub Car rally in almost 20 years on April 8 at the Kinburn Community Centre. The Cubs create their cars from wood blocks and are constructed into cars to race down a high-tech race track (calculates the speed to the 100th of a second). It is being hoped that this Cub Car rally will become an annual tradition for the Scouts Canada — Carleton Area. The Pack participation award went to the 1st Glen Cairn Thunderbirds with 58 per cent in attendance while Tiffany Lepack/Metroland in second place was 1st West Carleton.

Strong community connections and strong employer mentors has meant success for the West Carleton Secondary School’s co-operative education program. Over 60 local and city businesses and organizations are hosting West Carleton Secondary School students at their workplace over the course of the school year. This is a huge commitment from the community and employers, for which the school is most grateful.

New affordable equiPass Now available for low-iNcome resideNts By: Mayor Jim Watson

Connected to your community
Novice A Warriors cap off season with tournament win Special to the Review
A great way to cap off the season. The West Carleton novice A Warriors travelled to the Bradford Blue and Gold Classic Tournament — which ran from March 24 to March 26 — where the team won the gold medals.
What a super way to close off a great season of hockey, which included placing second in the Warriors’ division in regular season play. The West Carleton novice A Warriors are coached by Stephen Beck, with Chad Lacharity as the assistant coach. Dan Scott is the trainer.
This past October, I was joined by the Chair of the Transit Commission, Councillor Steven Blais, to announce the inclusion of a low-income transit pass in the 2017 City of Ottawa Budget. Just a short month later, City Council approved our plan for the low-income transit pass in the 2017 Budget. This was the largest one-time increase in financial support for transit customers in the City’s history. The pass is valid for travel on all OC Transpo services, including Para Transpo and the O-Train Trillium Line, as well as STO services. The new affordable transit pass, called the EquiPass, is now available to City of Ottawa residents whose household income falls below the low-income cut-off threshold, as set out annually by the Government of Canada. Once approved, eligible customers will be able to purchase the discounted pass for use as of April 1, 2017. It is priced at $57 per month, providing a 50 per cent discount on a monthly adult transit pass. A single adult using the EquiPass will save $56.75 each month, or $681 each year, whereas a family of two will save $112 each month, for an annual savings of $1,344. The new EquiPass will make life in Ottawa more affordable and inclusive for residents seeking employment, many single parents, newcomers to Canada settling in Ottawa, and residents living on low-income wages. The money they will save on transit will leave more funds available for other basic necessities, and allow them to participate more fully in our city’s job market and socio-economic life. The launch of the EquiPass application would not have been possible without the support and dedicated efforts of numerous community partner organizations, like OC Transpo and Community and Social Services, who are also available to provide assistance to those who need help filling the application form out. Eligible residents can get the EquiPass in three easy steps: Apply Residents must obtain, fill out and submit their application forms. These are available online at octranspo.com, by mail (call 613-741-4390 (TTY 613-741-5280) to request a copy) or in person at various locations across Ottawa including: OC Transpo Customer Service Centres, City of Ottawa Client Service Centres, City of Ottawa Public Libraries, City of Ottawa Community and Social Support Centres and Community Health and Resource Centres.

Members of the West Carleton Novice A Warriors, champions in the recent Bradford Bulldogs Blue & Gold Classic Tournament, are (front row, kneeling, from left) Lucas Lacharity, Cole Neil, Connor Penticost, Caleb Scott, Andreas Holden and Adam Vanderzon; (second row, standing, from left) Callum O’Connor, Wyatt Lummack, Hunter Beck, Hunter Sim, Milo Salares, Jack Barton and Wyatt McNeely; and (back row, from left) assistant coach Chad Lacharity, trainer Dan Scott and head coach Stephen Beck.
Applicants will receive a letter advising them of the status of their application within three weeks. Set your discount Customers can bring their approval letter to any OC Transpo Customer Service Centre. A Customer Service Representative will set the EquiPass discount on a registered Presto card. Those who don’t already have a Presto card can purchase one for $6. Buy Approved customers can purchase their monthly EquiPass online at prestocard.ca, by phone at 1-877-378-6123 (TTY 7-1-1), in person at an OC Transpo Customer Service Centre, or at select City of Ottawa Client Service Centres. With the implementation of the EquiPass, we give a chance to those who are living with a low income to full integrate themselves into the fabric of the City, and we create an even more affordable City for all Ottawa residents.
Residents can now submit their applications for the new affordable EquiPass

OPINION
Connected to your community
Why we are proud A s Canada marked the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge this week, it’s a good time to reflect on the connections we still have today to the men who gave their lives in Europe so long ago. Despite the passing of time, there are Canadians with us today who remember the real people who survived Vimy. Long lost family members. But even when our living connections to 1917 are gone, we should remember all of them and why they served. Canada – and so many Canadians – felt compelled to stand up to aggression. While the best policy is clearly to make every effort to avoid war, humans have yet to perfect that policy. Aggression, especially when the weak are attacked, make our blood boil. Even when evil acts occur half a world away, Canadians have been willing to put their lives on the line, both on battlefields such as Vimy, and in peacekeeping operations.
We should be proud to be the product of a society that uses force as a last resort. We should be proud that we have no imperial ambitions. We don’t try to force anyone to act like us or be like us, Canada simply sets an example and hopes others will follow. This principle has cost the lives of many Canadians. Yet still the world sees inhumanity. It’s ironic – and despicable – that as we mark the anniversary of First World War battles, where poison gas was not uncommon, we see the same weapon of mass destruction used on the Syrian people. In honour of those who have died in all wars, Canada can continue to set the best example – the one set back in April 1917. Help those who need help. Use force only in defence of them, and the defence of ourselves. Just as the Canadians at Vimy hoped to do. Come November, poppies will feel a little more personal this year.
Paving the way for a walkable city
I
f you follow the planning discussions in the newspapers, you’ll conclude that Ottawa knows what sort of a city it wants to be. It just doesn’t know how to get there. What kind of city is that? Well, it is pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly. It is well served by public transit, with new condos and apartments concentrated around transitway stations. Most planning discussions can be seen to serve that goal, and that is a good thing. It is nice to have a vision of a livable city down the road. If only we were not so half-hearted about it. Anyone who spends any time in large cities knows they are more enjoyable on foot. Outside your car, Toronto is a safe and pleasant mix of interesting stores and restaurants. Inside your car, it is a traffic jam. We

While there is considerable affection for traditional low-rise retail neighbourhoods like the Glebe and Westboro, the shopping centre is, for Funny Town most people in the city, central to their way of life.

Unfortunately, when we speak of where people can do their shopping Ottawa’s livable city being down the on foot. This is obviously good for them: road, we mean it literally.

towers are proposed for the Westgate site. The developer is asking residents for input on Lincoln Fields. Whatever goes up there, residents want a grocery store and other essential services. That seems reasonable, yet the city hasn’t been good at meeting such expectations in the past. Despite the stated intention to become pedestrian-friendly and less car dependent, the city has seen (and allowed) a huge growth in big box malls and grocery superstores. While the city government has taken some rather small steps to help mom-andpop stores stay in existence, smaller retailers have suffered. Neighbourhood grocery stores and even some neighbourhood supermarkets have been disappearing. Simultaneously, new suburban communities have been allowed to develop with no downtowns. All of this has increased rather than diminished our dependence on cars. This doesn’t sound like what the
city has in mind. So do our city council and city planners really want what they say they want? If they do, they will find a way to reverse the trend and create a walkable city. We’ll see how serious our civic leaders are by what they do for the people around Westgate and Lincoln Fields.

Letter: There’s more hydroelectricity available Editor: There’s a lot about hydroelectric power that Kathleen Wynne’s government doesn’t want you to know. The Liberals always insist that Ontario is tapped out when it comes to
Ticks in the Carp Hills Special to the Review
Ticks are in the Carp Hills. The University of Guelph dragged a Carp Hills property for black-legged ticks last fall as part of a research project about Lyme Disease. A total of 450 larva, 103 adults and three nymphs were collected. The adults and nymphs were sent to a lab in Winnipeg for testing. It turned out that 53 per cent of these tested positive for the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease. The property on which the tick collection took place is right in the middle of the Carp Hills between March Road and Thomas Dolan Parkway. It is believed that this level of infection is typical for the whole Carp Hills area. So those walking in the Carp Hills should take steps to minimize their exposure to these ticks. Ticks live by feeding on the blood of mammals, birds and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. Because ticks ingest blood, they are vectors of at least 12 diseases that affect humans and other animals. Tick species are widely distributed around the world but they tend to flourish more in countries with warm, humid climates.
hydroelectric power. They insist that it’s impossible to get any more power out of our lakes and rivers, and that it would be useless to try. These lies are used to justify signing bloated contracts with Liberal cronies in the so-called green energy industry. I think the Liberals would benefit from a dose of reality here. Water power has been a reliable way to generate electricity for almost 200 years. Hydroelectricity is clean, cheap and environmentally sound. There is no good reason to think this won’t be true in the future. But, unfortunately, Ontario does not fully use its hydroelectric potential. We are now operating significantly fewer hydroelectric installations than we did in the mid20thcentury. In 1951, we had 575 hydro facilities. Now we’re down to 215. But hardly any of those facilities are operating at full capacity. For example, the Adam Beck tunnels at Niagara Falls were expanded recently but they are only operating at about 20 per cent of their capacity. Similarly, throughout Ontario in 2016, about 3,000 gigawatt hours of power were spilled rather than used to generate electricity. Existing facilities could be upgraded to avoid such waste in the future. New projects and upgrades at New Post Creek and Elora prove that there is still more potential to be extracted from water power. Upgrading the facility at Elora is expected to provide 3,800 megawatt hours of power annually. And when finished, the New Post Creek project along the Abitibi River will generate enough annual power for 25,000 homes. These facts make you wonder how many defunct generating stations across Ontario could be revived and brought
back online. In 1905, the old Alfred Watts Lock and Hydro Generating Station in Brantford generated about 895 kilowatt hours annually. That station isn’t used any more but it only exploited about one-fiftieth of the power of the Grand River. Updating old or underused generating stations would be a good idea to increase capac-
ity. It would also be a great way to boost local economies and create jobs. We might not be able to get all our power from hydroelectricity, but there is much, much more untapped potential. Jack MacLaren MPP Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Ringette teams in provincials Special to the Review
West Ottawa Ringette Association competitive teams finish up their seasons playing in the provincials. Each division (petite provincial, AA and A) is hosted in a different community in Ontario each year. This year’s U12 provincials were held in Forest in early March, the theme being Keeping It Country. Both West Ottawa U12 petite provincial teams had experienced successful seasons, winning medals in tournaments throughout the season. The West Ottawa girls faced tough competi-
tion at these provincials, with the petite provincial Blue team having to play mini games to see which team would advance to the tournament semifinal. The West Ottawa girls won the mini games competition and advanced to further play, eventually finishing third overall in the McCarthy division. The West Ottawa petite provincial Red team also faced some challenging games, going on to win the bronze medals in the Jack division. Nepean hosted the provincial AA tournament this year, also in early March. See ‘COME TRY RINGETTE,’ page 11

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Vimy Remembrance Constance Bay My sincere thanks to Mary and Rick Charlebois of the Point Dining Lounge, and Legion 616 of Constance Bay for hosting the community’s Vimy Ridge commemoration ceremony. I would also like to send a special thanks to the musicians who put on such a wonderful performance! A special highlight of the event was Canadian Troubadour Doug Smith’s performance of his song “A Proud Canadian”. The event was such a wonderful way to commemorate the sacrifices made by those to whom we owe so much.

Carleton University Women in House I had the good fortune of once again being paired up with another bright young woman, this time from Carleton University’s Women in House program. Joanna Sivasankaran was an excellent shadow for the day, even though the first thing we did that day was attend a class at the rival University of Ottawa. We had a full day after the guest speaking engagement, and I hope she gained some valuable insight into the role of a parliamentarian.

The West Ottawa U14 AA team experienced success both on and off the ice this season, capturing gold and silver medals in tournament play and placing fourth overall in these Ontario provincials for its age group. The West Ottawa U14 A team had a fun and memorable season involving both team events and tournaments. The season ended for the U14 A team at the provincials in Pickering in mid-March, playing against some remarkable ringette teams from across the province. The players even turned out to cheer on their U16 A teammates at an early-morning semifinal game. The West Ottawa Ringette Association’s U16 AA won the sportsmanship award at the recent AA provincials. Voted on by the opposing bench staff of each team, this award is a tribute to the players’ quality of spirited competition, achievement, teamwork and sportsmanship. The West Ottawa U16 A team had a memorable season, winning gold medals in two tournaments, namely in Waterloo and at its own West Ottawa tournament. This U16 A team was the Eastern Region representative at provincials, finishing first overall in the Eastern Region. The team played with great determination and desire, demonstrating great teamwork as the players played some of their best ringette this season. The team finished third overall in the province, earning bronze medals. The West Ottawa Ringette Association offers a huge “thank you” to all of the West Ottawa coaches, parents and players for their commitment throughout the past season. The many hours of volunteering by so many is what makes for a successful ringette season. If you are interested in learning more about ringette, please consider attending a “Come Try Ringette” session on Saturday, April 22 from 2:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Centre in Stittsville.

Thank you to Kanata Legion 638 and all the volunteers who came out to help in hosting the 100th Anniversary Vimy Ridge Gala Reception. The display that was crafted for the event was impressive, as was the show of support from the community who attended such a wonderful event. Thank you to all the cadets who came out from Squadrons 872 and 706 to support the commemoration.
I had the pleasure of attending Dr. Miriam Levitt’s Women and Politics course at the University of Ottawa. The course’s topic of the day was the history of women in the House of Commons, and I had the opportunity to come speak to the students and offer my unique perspective on the subject. It’s always a pleasure to speak to the future leaders of our country.

Shroud presents forensic, scientific challenge by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
Move over, TV crime shows. Here’s a 2000 year old unsolved case that shows that reality can be more intriguing and interesting than the most elaborate TV script. It’s the ongoing case of the Shroud of Turin, reputedly the linen burial cloth of Jesus Christ which has been the object of forensic and scientific research for over a century. And while this research points to the shroud’s authenticity, it is not definitive, especially in light of a disputed carbon dating test in 1988 that identified it as a medieval cloth rather than from the time of Christ. It all makes for perhaps the world’s greatest forensic challenge, all stemming from what longtime shroud advocate and lecturer John Iannone calls a “cold case” originating from the crucifixion of Christ, which he termed the greatest crime scene in history. Iannone, who has delivered more than 350 lectures about the Shroud of Turin since his involvement with studying it, which began in 1978, was one of the speakers at The Man of the Shroud exhibit which was presented at St. Isidore Catholic Church on March Road from April 4 to April 11. Lectures about the Shroud of Turin and the efforts made to prove its authen-
ticity were part of the exhibit. Shroud scholars Barrie Schwortz and Dr. Phillip Wiebe were originally planned to deliver these lectures, but Schwortz was sick, so Iannone stepped in as a replacement for him. His lecture went over the scientific and historical information which is known today that supports the belief that the Shroud of Turin is the actual burial cloth of Christ. The shroud itself is a linen with a herringbone weave that shows the front and back images of a man who shows the markings of a Roman crucifixion. Iannone referred to forensic evidence such as the discovery of dirt on the shroud that has been identified as soil from a cave tomb like the one in which Jesus was laid. In addition, pollen testing has revealed 58 species of pollen found on the shroud, and it is pollen that is consistent with what is known about the travels of the shroud over the centuries. So there is pollen evidence from the Jerusalem area, where Christ was crucified, to Turkey, Constantinople, France and Italy, all places where the shroud is known to have been in the past 2000 years. Iannone noted that the image on the shroud is limited to the top areas of the fibres, which debunks the idea that it was created by some sort of paint or dye that would have penetrated down into the fibrils. Blood specialists have concluded, Iannone said, that the image is human blood and even more specifically type AB blood, which is the rarest type of human blood, but is common in the Middle East where Christ lived. But there’s more, none of which is definitive, but in Iannone’s view when taken together forms a strong case for the authenticity of the shroud. There’s an image in the form of a pattern of a flower near the head shown on the shroud. This shows that the man was buried with flowers and pollen evidence has revealed that the flowers are from the area where Jesus lived. But how to know that this man depicted on the shroud was Jesus? Iannone argued that the uniqueness of the crucifixion of Christ as depicted on the shroud means that it can only be Christ depicted in the images on the shroud. He stated that Jesus was nailed to the cross through

John Curry/Metroland
A banner proclaims the “Man of the Shroud” exhibit which was on display at St. Isidore Catholic Church on March Road from April 4 to April 11. his wrists, not his palms as is usually portrayed on crucifixes. This is because the palms do not have the internal structure to hold a person on a cross. The hand imaged on the shroud has its thumb turned in. This is because nailing through the wrist could damage a nerve that would control the position of the thumb. A damaged nerve from a nail would result in a thumb turned in. There is also evidence from the shroud of carrying a wooden beam on the shoulders as Christ would have done on his journey to Calvary. In addition, the image on the shroud reveals scourge marks that have been linked to the use of a Roman whip that was commonly used in scourgings like the one that Christ received. Lash marks on the image’s back match those that would be created by such a Roman whip. The image also shows evidence of a crown of thorns which was placed on Christ. Iannone said that there is no record of a cap of thorns being applied to any other victim of crucifixion other than Christ, calling this evidence of a crown of thorns on the image of the shroud a “unique identifier” that the man depicted was Christ. He also stated that the evidence of a lance wound in the side of the “Man of the Shroud” was yet another unique identifier that this man was Christ. He said that it was common practice for the legs of the crucified to be broken to ensure that the person was dead. In the case of Christ, as described in the Scriptures, the legs were not broken, but rather his side was pierced with a lance. The shroud shows evidence of this lance wound. Christ was the only person in history who matches these two unique identifiers, Iannone pointed out. Iannone tried to debunk a 1988 carbon testing of the shroud which showed that it was from medieval times and not from the time of Christ. He said that the carbon testing had been flawed since all of the samples used had been taken from the same area of the shroud, apparently not proper procedure for carbon dating. In addition, a small piece had been cut off the shroud in the 16th century with a new cotton piece woven into the shroud to replace it and this could have further given a false reading in the carbon testing. He noted that no further carbon testing has been undertaken because such carbon testing would result in the destruction of some of the
shroud, and he said that no one wants to see that happen. He suggested that advances in carbon testing might someday mean that carbon testing can be done without destroying any of the shroud. Iannone stated that his conclusion is that the Shroud of Turin is the actual burial cloth of Jesus, saying that the image on it is the work of a divine artist, not a human one. He said that as he has studied the evidence related to the shroud over the years, it has become clear to him that it is the burial cloth of Christ. This The Man of the Shroud exhibit at St. Isidore’s Church was organized by the Vancouver Shroud Association with the support of Ottawa Archbishop Terrence Prendergast and St. Isidore’s Parish. In addition to the lectures presented, there were display panels set up around the church providing information about the Shroud of Turin and touching on all aspects of the shroud including what it is, evidence from the Gospels, the timeline of the shroud, damage to the shroud from fire, the shroud and Christian art, Pope John Paul II’s sermon on the shroud, the scientific properties of the shroud, carbon dating of the shroud, the Shroud of Turin Research Project of 1978, pollen evidence of the shroud, flower images on the shroud, the formation of the shroud image and a summary of the shroud’s characteristics. The exhibit also included several replicas of items from Christ’s passion including a photo of the Shroud of Turin, a crown of thorns, a crucifixion nail and a Roman whip used for scourging. Scientific discoveries have determined the following about the Shroud of Turin: The shroud depicts the image of a man slightly under six feet tall who suffered death by crucifixion; wood marks evidenced by blood stains on the shroud correspond with the sufferings of Christ as described in the Gospels; nail wounds appear at the feet; nail wounds at the wrist; the nail wound at the wrist would have penetrated a nerve and caused the thumb to snap into the palm, which is why the thumbs of the man depicted on the shroud are hidden; the shroud shows a wound to the side; blood stains around the forehead and nape of the neck can be attributed to the crown of thorns placed on Christ; blood stains on the back are due to scourging; and the wounds depicted can be attributed to the use of a whip traditionally used by the Romans in scourgings.

8:30 p.m., when two men entered his front yard on Dunrobin Road. They were drinking as evidenced by what was left behind — two empty drinks, a can of Blue Light and a bottle of Pure Leaf iced tea. The two men grabbed Stuart’s German shepherd and forced her to the side of
the house where it is dark. They removed the two clasps on the dog’s collar but in the rain and mud, they somehow could not hold the dog down and the dog took off. Stuart found his dog in the backyard a few minutes later, shaken up by the experience and favouring her right rear leg.
The dog did not eat for a day after the experience. The Ottawa Police Service was called about the incident and a police report has been filed. Whether this was a random event or is a more extensive thing, it is not known. But dog owners should be on the alert these days, just in case.

You can learn about Panmure at Historical Society meeting Special to the Review
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 Memorial 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 John Curry/Metroland No. 3 of Fitzroy and then Arnprior District Panmure Road is a road in West Carleton that runs from Donald B. Munro Drive in the High School before going on to St. Patrick’s north to beyond Upper Dwyer Hill Road in the south. It takes its name from the historic College in Ottawa. Part of his world in his early years was the rural area of Fitzroy and Huntley community of Panmure. 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 NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING of tobacco from Nellie O’Hara,” Terry notes. “The store was dusty and unpainted.

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. The road runs on both sides of Highway 417, starting at Donald B. Munro Drive in the north and then running south of the highway, crossing over Upper Dwyer Hill Road as well. 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 starting 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 the Ottawa Valley. Everyone is welcome to attend the meeting of the Huntley Township Historical Society on Tuesday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m., at which Terry will be the guest speaker on The Story of Panmure Village. Admission is by free-will donation and light refreshments will be available.

Vimy Ridge at 100 One hundred years ago this April, Canada triumphed in the First World War at Vimy Ridge in 1917. This was the first major allied victory which turned the tide of the war. The world has changed so much since the early twentieth century, but Canadian determination to fight for what is right remains the same. Freedom isn’t free. On this important anniversary, we will remember those who fought for the freedoms that we all enjoy today. We will remember those who sacrificed their lives. We will remember the wounded who carry the scars of battle. We will remember their families. We must always remember their bravery and honour their memory.

Steps that a person can take to help songbird population Special to the Review
The recent screening of The Messenger at the Almonte Old Town Hall raised over $800 for Bird Studies Canada. The film deals with the sobering reality of the precipitous decline of songbirds. The decline of songbird populations is a global problem, as out-
lined in the film, but there are efforts being made around the world to determine what can be done to save birds. Suggestions that a person can do to help the situation: Reduce predation by cats by keeping cats indoors. Do not use harmful pesticides.
Provide habitats for birds in urban areas. Prevent fatal collisions with windows and get rid of fatal lights in the migration season. At night, lights in windows and outdoors can fatally attract songbirds migrating at night. In addition, the reflective surfaces of windows can cause collisions
during the day. Apply protective film or decals to the windows to reduce reflections. Window collisions are particularly a problem in rural areas, where reflective surfaces fool birds because they reflect natural features. Be bird-friendly in whatever way you can.

Providing services to the community with a personal touch by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
Tamara Awada opened the Constance Bay Pharmacy last December as a pharmacy that would provide needed services in the community with a personal touch. And this is what is happening, as she is not only receiving support from area residents but every day she is meeting new customers. She says that it has been heartwarming how the people of the area have opened their arms to welcome her to the community. She was particularly touched when a person offered her a room to stay for the night on a day when a snow storm hit the area. She is willing to deliver medications to customers free of charge and offers a variety of vaccine shots for things like shingles, hepatitis and, when the season hits, the flu. She also has the naloxone kits available and will provide the training to anyone who picks up such a kit.
The Constance Bay Pharmacy will be extending its hours of operation as of this May, with the new hours to be Monday to Friday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tamara is also hiring a pharmacist who will be working Saturdays, giving her a little reprieve from the 70-hour work weeks that she has been putting in since opening the pharmacy. She expects that the business will get even busier in the summer months when all of the cottagers are in Constance Bay. She is already preparing for the summer, ordering supplies of sun screen and other sunshine-related
products to add to the items that she already carries in the pharmacy. The Constance Bay Pharmacy offers a range of items for sale on its shelves, ranging from toothpaste to greetings cards to sunglasses to homeopathic items. But although she handles this variety of retail products, she makes it
clear that her main focus is being a pharmacist and using her professional expertise to help the people of the area and to be a part of the community. The Constance Bay Pharmacy is located at 131 Constance Bay Road going into Constance Bay. The Constance Bay Pharmacy can be contacted on 613-832-7707.

She also presented the students with a flag that had flown from the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill, but it is a giant flag which would not be suitable for displaying in Europe. But the school now has this giant flag as well for possible use in the future. McCrimmon was joined by Ottawa West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry at this flag presentation ceremony at the school. In her remarks at the flag presentation, McCrimmon told the students she was proud they were going to Europe where they would be visiting France, Belgium and Holland including visits to not only the Vimy Memorial but also the Anne Frank house and a Jewish memorial. She warned the students that they will be hearing sad stories about the wartime experiences in Europe, but she reminded them to think by john curry
about the courage that the soldiers had shown on the battlefield, noting that these soldiers really believed in Canada and in the belief that there could be peace in the world. She advised the students to fly the Canadian flag with pride as many soldiers gave up their lives so that they would be free to fly the flag. She reminded them as well that the average age of the soldiers who died in war was just 21 years of age. After the presentation of the flag, the students going to Europe as well as the school’s assembled grades five to nine students stood and sang O Canada. The group travelling to Europe included nine students (from Grade 8 and 9, four parent chaperones and teacher Gillian Mattock. Each student on the trip researched the life of a soldier who died in combat in Europe and the grave of the soldier was to be visited during the trip. See STUDENTS, page 23

doing something for themselves. “It’s our time now” is the tag line for the group, Coady said. For the past two years, the team has practised indoors during the off season, using gyms at South Carleton High School in Richmond and at West Carleton High School in Dunrobin. In addition, the team has been playing during the season in the Canada’s Capital Fastball League, which includes teams from Quyon, Nepean, Ottawa, Kars and other areas as well as the Ottawa Valley Strong playing out of Carp. At the World Masters Games, the team will be playing every day of the Games and marching in the opening and closing Olympic-style ceremonies, walking in with the Canadian contingent at the Games. Four of the players, including Coady, are returning to Canada right after the Games while others are going to travel to see other parts of
that area of the world before returning home. Scott Searle, who coaches the Ottawa University Gee Gees ladies team and has coached at the national level, and Al Staats, an experienced coach from the Brantford area, have signed on to coach the team. The team will be taking along some City of Ottawa pins and Canada pins to exchange with players from other teams. The World Masters Games involves athletes from countries around the world, ranging in age from 25 to 101. Athletes attend the World Masters Games not only to compete on a world stage against their peers but also to meet fellow athletes from around the world and to enjoy the atmosphere of the host city, which in this case is Auckland in New Zealand. The World Masters Games are held every four years. In 2013, they were held in Torino, Italy.

The students also were to participate in two parades while in Europe in which they were to carry not only the Canadian flag provided to them by McCrimmon, but also a school flag which features maple leaves. The students studied about the Holocaust and were to visit the Anne Frank home in Amsterdam and were to lay a wreath at a Jewish memorial. The students also took part in the ceremony to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Vimy Ridge battle in which Canadian soldiers were recognized as soldiers of Canada for the first time rather than soldiers from the British Empire.

Playing cards was a staple at home
N
obody liked a game of cards better than I did. Of course, we young ones were never allowed to play euchre at the Saturday night house parties. That was for adults. But if we could find an extra deck of cards, we could sit on a bed upstairs and play Old Maid, or Snap, two favourite games of mine, while the adults pounded the table down in the kitchen. Although we kids learned euchre at an early age, it was still considered an adult game come Saturday night. The neighbour away on the Barr Line never missed a Saturday night house party. She walked as stiff as a board, and her lips were thin and clamped together so that you could hardly see that she had a mouth. She had a fierce look about her and even at a game of euchre she hardly ever smiled. She always wore black, and on the hottest night of the summer, she had a crocheted shawl draped around her shoulders. Although father would never be rude to her, he had little patience with her constant talk about the sins of the world, and all of us were going straight to hell in a basket. I often wondered where she
MARY COOK Memories would end up, but was too frightened to ask. Even though this woman never missed a card game on a Saturday night, she said she wouldn’t touch a deck of cards on a Sunday if her life depended on it. Playing cards on Sunday was right up there with swearing or stealing chickens. Whatever church she belonged to forbade it. Well, it didn’t matter to us if was Sunday or Monday. If we had a few minutes to spare, or we ran out of things to do after supper, we got out the deck of cards, and sitting around the old pine table we played our favourite card games. I wasn’t too quick on the uptake, and always ended up losing at Snap, until I finally realized my brother Emerson, slapped his hand over the up-card before anyone had a chance to look at it. Mother soon put a stop to that and moved him away from the table. It was the same thing with Old Maid. I couldn’t figure out how Emerson knew exactly where the Queen of Spades was, until my sister Audrey discovered him sitting on it, ready to
play it at just the right time. My brother Earl loved to build card houses when the table was cleared. I was amazed at how high he could build without the whole thing falling in a heap. It wasn’t above Emerson to give the table a shake to bring the card house down either. But the Saturday night house party was when cards seemed to rule the evening, with the neighbour from the Barr Line the first to arrive and the last to leave. Of course, the last card had to be played before the stroke of midnight, or she would quit for the night. My curiosity got the better of me one Saturday night when the house party was at our farm, and I asked father why the woman from the Barr Line was so against cards on Sunday. He said he wouldn’t doubt it for a minute that, when she was alone on a Sunday,, she wouldn’t reach for a deck of cards to break the monotony of living alone, never letting on to anyone. And he gave a hearty chuckle, and said, “It’s like someone who is death against alcohol, sure that the Devil is behind every drop, but takes a sip now and again just for medicinal purposes,” and he put back his head and roared.

Heritage Park is one step closer to reality By John Curry john.ciurry@metroland.com
Another step has been taken toward making the proposed heritage park in Carp a reality. Stan Carruthers of the West Carleton Heritage Park Association says that an offer to purchase the proposed 14-acre site on Langstaff Drive between the West Carleton Family Health Centre and the Huntley Curling Club has been presented to the owners. A number of conditions accompanied the offer, including obtaining adequate financing and other matters. Submitting an offer to purchase the site was approved at a meeting of the West Carleton Heritage Park Association at the Carp Agricultural Hall on Feb. 7. The property has been listed for sale with an asking price of $5 million. It is zoned for residential development, believed to be capable of accommodating over 200 housing units. Some funding is available, it is believed, from the City of Ottawa and some funds are available from donations from members of the public which have been held in a trust account. If the sale does not happen, these donations will be returned to the donors. Carruthers, who has been involved with this West Carleton Heritage Park proposal since 1999, says that the first priority is to buy the land and then consideration can be given about developing the park on the site. The Carp Community Design plan makes reference to the community’s desire to retain its agricultural roots, with one idea being to create a heritage park which could accommodate a museum within a complex of older buildings brought to the site from other parts of West Carleton. For more information about this proposal or about the West Carleton Heritage Park Association, please contact Carruthers at 613-797-3478.

Making fondant Easter eggs has become a tradition
L
et’s face it. Those on the Easter Egg Hunt may have to wear hip waders. The eggs should be easy to find, though. You can just pick them up and put them in your basket as they go floating by on a current. One can only hope this flooding is pretty much gone by the time you read this column. You have to take your time navigating riverside roads this time of year but I have to admit, I kind of like driving down the middle of what looks like a lake. I feel like Moses parting the Red Sea. All this water is definitely suffering the barnyard. When you step into the muck you had better not be in a hurry because retrieving your boot from that quicksand takes a slow, steady pull. Do not make any sudden movements! More than once I have had my boot sucked off and my balance taken out from under me so that I topple into the muck. I will not be fooled again. Most of our calves have been born now — we have just three more to go. With the temperature getting up into the double digits life should be much easier on them now. As long as they aren’t born in the
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife mud. Most of the mamas are smart enough to head into the barn — or at least to high ground. We do have one little lame calf who is an invalid in the barn with her foot needing redressing each morning. But she isn’t the problem. That would be her mother, who refuses to stay in the barn. We bring mama in to feed her calf and as soon as the feeding is done she either tries to launch herself up over a barrier like Hilda the high-jumper or she tries to make a door out of any gap that she sees in the barn board. I’m hoping by Easter things will be dry enough for everyone to be back outside. The sun will be shining and the calves will find a high spot on the hill to survey their kingdom. I will probably get coddled into making those solid fondant eggs that I make every year, because it’s a tradition. Even though most of us are watching our sugar intake and our waistlines. Because a solid fondant egg coated in semisweet melt-in-your-mouth chocolate just tastes like every Easter Egg Hunt, Sunday bonnet, going-to-grandma’s house memory of your youth. You just gotta. Here is the recipe. If your mom was also in the Beta Sigma Phi sorority in Kemptville, you might recognize it. Just reading it makes my teeth hurt:
Solid Fondant Easter Eggs: Fondant: 1/2 cup butter; 1 tsp. vanilla; 1/2 tsp. salt; 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk; 5 ½ cups (2 lb) sifted icing sugar; 1/4 tsp. yellow food colouring. Note: have extra icing sugar handy to help you get the sticky fondant off your fingers. Have extra chocolate for better dipping coverage. And because chocolate. Cream butter, vanilla and salt until light. Add milk, beating until blended. Stir in icing sugar a bit at a time. Turn out on cutting board that has been dusted with icing sugar. Knead until smooth. Cut off 1/3 of the ball of fondant and add yellow food colouring to make the yolks; knead until blended. Divide both the yellow and the white fondant into 10 and roll into balls. Flatten the white balls and wrap each around a smaller yellow ball; form into egg shape. Place on cookie sheets in fridge overnight covered
with plastic wrap. On day two, shave one small piece of paraffin wax into 8 oz. semisweet chocolate and melt in double boiler. Pierce an egg with a skewer and dip in chocolate, turning to coat all sides. Lay dipped eggs on cookie sheet and when they are done you can refrigerate them. In fact, you might keep those eggs in the fridge and just slice a piece off at a time. You can’t eat the whole thing at once. Well, you can but I wouldn’t recommend it. The leftover chocolate makes a great fruit dip. You can wrap each egg in plastic wrap and place in a small basket with jelly beans, Easter grass and other candies if you really want to go big. And just a word of warning: make these eggs once and your family will expect them every year. Happy Easter! www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

Mother’s Day market, luncheon in Constance Bay Special to the Review
If you are looking for something special to do on Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 14, look no further than the special Mother’s Day market and luncheon at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre. The Constance Bay Community Market is working with the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association to provide this opportunity
to enjoy a luncheon as well as a great shopping experience, all in one place. The Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association (CBBCA) will be hosting a luncheon featuring all-you-can-eat homemade soups, sandwiches, desserts and tea and coffee, running from 12 noon to 3 p.m. at the Community Centre. The luncheon is available for only $10 per person. Meanwhile, the Constance Bay
Community Market will be offering a shopping experience with vendors on hand with a range of items and gifts for sale. In addition, there will be an auction and door prizes. This special Mother’s Day market will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Community Centre. If you are a vendor who would like to participate in this Mother’s Day market, you can apply to the Con-
stance Bay Community Market until Tuesday, April 18. The Constance Bay Community Market can be contacted at marketinthebay@gmail.com. The Constance Bay Community Market is also accepting applications now for its summer outdoor market season which will launch on Saturday, June 17 at the St. Gabriel’s Church grounds. Agricultural, processed food, arts and crafts, treasures and collect-
ibles and food concession vendors are all welcome to apply to participate in these summer outdoor markets, which will run every two weeks through July and August and then weekly in September beginning on Sept. 9.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku
Bearsaeinrs
horoscopes
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, maintain your composure in light of a sticky situation that you are called upon to handle in the next few days. Others will notice your calm demeanor.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 The truth will ultimately set you free, Leo. Seek the truth when handling a difficult problem and this will eventually make the solution easier to find.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a trusted friend is willing to hear your side of the story and offer a new perspective and some advice. You need to win this person’s trust back.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, emotions can be a little distracting this week as sparks fly in a new relationship. Avoid going overboard but enjoy this exciting time in your life.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You might want to hold off on an ambitious project for another month, Virgo. This will give you more time to develop a plan to complete the project.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are content to take it easy and to follow a familiar routine for now rather than branching out into new things. Take a flier on new friendships and you will be glad you did.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may need assistance, but no one is stepping up as a candidate at this juncture. Wait a bit longer and someone is sure to step up to the challenge.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Your presence is a gift to someone who needs you even if you get tongue-tied and don’t know what to say, Capricorn. Let your company serve as support. Things will fall in place.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Try not to take things too personally when you start receiving feedback, Cancer. Everyone has an opinion, and most people share theirs with good intentions.

THINKING ABOUT CONDO LIVING? If your children have flown the coop and you’re tired of spending time and money on the upkeep of your property, owning a condominium might be a viable option for you. Without having to give up being a homeowner, you could say “goodbye” to your lawn-
mower, snow blower, and step ladder. You could stop feeling enslaved to your house and free up some time for travel, golf, and relaxing. Whether alone or with a spouse, you are sure to find a condo that suits your needs — many condominium complexes have
swimming pools, gyms, laundry rooms, and the like. Such amenities come with a price tag attached, however. Before making the big change from house to condo, there are two questions to consider: are you ready to live in a micro-society of co-owners,

Fitzroy Harbour’s Liam Mayhew finishes seventh in the province SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Chirping our brightest Easter wishes to you and your loved ones at this special time of year. May your season be filled with joy, friendship, laughter and blessings. I greatly appreciate your friendship and support, and wish you all the best!
John O’Neill
An Arnrpior high school wrestler has placed seventh in the province. Liam Mayhew of Fitzroy Harbour travelled to Brampton recently to represent Arnprior and District High School at the Ontario Federation of Secondary Athletics Association (OFSAA) provincial wrestling competition. There were 32 wrestlers in his 57.5 kilogram weight class and over 500 in total for the tournament. This was Mayhew's third time qualifying for OFSAA in
his four years of high school. Mayhew's first match was against a Toronto wrestler, with Mayhew winning by a pin in the first round. In his second match, again his opponent was from the Toronto area, and in the second round Mayhew won by points. The third and final match of the first day was against a wrestler from Guelph and Mayhew lost by points in the second round. His opponent went on to finish in sixth place. On the second day of wrestling, Liam had to win his first match to be guaranteed a top
eight finish. A wrestler from Whitby was up against Mayhew and in the second round Mayhew pinned him to win the match. Up next was a wrestler from Burlington. This again went into the second round, but Mayhew lost this one on points. This Burlington wrestler went on to finish in fourth place. This being Mayhew's second loss meant he was finished, but due to his two pins and winning some matches by 10 points, he finished in seventh place in this high school provincial competition..

The early arriving bird gets more than the worm by michael runtz
Although spring seems to take one step forward and then two steps back, many of the first birds to return from the south are now here. Eastern phoebes currently greet the dawn with their name-giving songs while killdeer vociferously complain as they fly over fields. Although it will be weeks until the majority of insect-eating birds return to our area, in addition to phoebes, tree swallows and eastern bluebirds are already back. Although those three species forage in different ways and belong to different families (flycatchers, swallows, and thrushes, respectively), they share one feature, one that drives them to return early in spite of the risk of cold weather and lack of food. All three species place their nests in sites that are relatively scarce. Phoebes construct distinctive moss-covered mud nests on ledges with overhanging roofs. Before humans built bridges with support beams and houses with porches, cliffs provided them with suitable nest sites. But even though cliffs were not particularly rare habitats, the perfect combination of ledge and overhanging rock were hard to find. Thus, phoebes were driven to return early to stake out a claim to a suitable site. First come, first served; those who arrived late might not find
Michael Runtz
Eastern Bluebirds (here, a male) build their nests in manmade boxes as well as in natural cavities in trees.
a vacant site, and thus might fail to mate and pass on their genes. Tree swallows and eastern bluebirds don’t nest on rock ledges but they do return early from their wintering grounds. Originally, both species nested in tree cavities, which typically would be abandoned woodpecker nests or holes created by rot where a branch broke off a tree trunk. While one might suspect that there are plenty of such sites in woodlands, both tree swallows and those colourful thrushes forage in open areas, so the cavities they utilized would necessarily be at the edge of a forest, not deep within it. And even if there were a lot of cavities, the demand for them might still exceed the supply, for many other birds including great crested flycatchers, northern saw-whet owls, eastern screech-owls, barred owls, wood ducks and hooded mergansers nest in
them. Mammals use cavities too; porcupines, raccoons, and even fishers occupy larger cavities while grey squirrels and both northern and southern flying squirrels inhabit ones with smaller entrances. As if the competition was not already steep enough, two new cavityusing species arrived on the scene in the 1890s. European starlings and house sparrows, European species deliberately released by homesick Brits, were nonmigratory and as they spread through North America they took over many of the cavities used by bluebirds and swallows. Bluebirds historically went through a serious decline that was blamed in part on the usurping of their nest sites by the foreign species. However, man-made nest boxes helped compensate for the lack of natural cavities, and eastern bluebirds and tree swallows continue to utilize them today. European starlings and house sparrows also use nest boxes, but with house sparrow numbers in decline and a proliferation of those structures, there appears to now be enough to go around. While cavities might provide painful memories for our species, for a number of birds and other animals they play essential roles in their lives. The Nature email is mruntz@start. ca

I am planning to purchase my first home. Are there any tax incentives for first time home buyers? As a first time home buyer you may be eligible to receive a partial refund of the Ontario Land Transfer Tax which is charged on real estate purchases. The First Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit and the Home Buyers’ Plan are federal programs that provide assistance. Land Transfer Tax (LTT) The Land Transfer Tax is paid to Ontario government whenever there is a registered change of ownership of real property. While there are certain exceptions, the land transfer tax is generally payable whenever someone purchases a residential home. The amount of the LTT depends on the purchase price and the current tax rate rises progressively from 0.5% on the first $55,000 of the purchase price to 2% of the amount of purchase price which exceeds $400,000. First time home buyers get a LTT refund up to a maximum of $4,000. To qualify for this refund, you must not have owned a home anywhere in the world in the past and you must use your new home as your primary residence within nine months of the purchase.

He obtained his law degree from the University of Ottawa’s Common Law program in 2011 and subsequently articled in Burlington, Ontario.
If you are buying a home together with someone that is not a first time home buyer, you can still receive half of the refund. First Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit (HBTC) The First Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit is available for the taxation year in which a first home is purchased. The value of this tax credit is $5,000. It can lower a person’s income tax by up to $750. Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) Home buyers can withdraw up to $25,000 from an RRSP if the funds are used towards the purchase of their home. Although there are no immediate tax consequences at the time of withdrawal, the full amount must be repaid to the RRSP within 15 years. To qualify the Purchaser must not have owned a home in the preceding four years. If you are planning to buy a home this spring, please contact me to receive a free half hour consultation or to obtain our fee quote for a real estate purchase.
