Thank you!
I want to thank so many people for their tremendous outpouring of support to help the communities affected by the flooding. As I said in the House of Commons, while it is heartbreaking to see the loss of homes and properties, it is so inspiring to see the enormous outpouring of community spirit and generosity. Thank you all!

Eastman instrumental in securing Ottawa River crossing From page one
Major work was need on both docks. So the authority was formed.” There were two volunteers from each side of the river and those four selected a chair and a general manager. Eastman was either the chair or general manager for 14 of the 20 years he served on the MLQPA. After assuming responsibility for the docks, the MLQPA’s first job was to develop a contract with the ferry operators Don and Ruby McColgan. “Finer folks there never were,” Eastman said. At the time, two 1960s era ferries managed the traffic between the crossings. The two ferries held a maximum of seven vehicles and were side-loading vessels. “There was lots of turning involved, they couldn’t take big trucks, fifth-wheel trailers, half-tons with boat trailers,” Eastman said. “Volume was increasing. It became apparent to the ferry operator, some-

The new boats could accommodate 21 vehicles including large trucks with few restrictions. They would be a straight on/ straight off design and would run quietly on electricity. But the new ferries would require new docks. “It was obvious without funding it wasn’t going to happen,” Eastman said. “So the long process of fundraising for the MLQPA began.” Eastman said then-MP
Gordon O’Connor took the lead. “Without his intervention we would not have got anywhere,” he said. On the Ontario side, the dock had to be completely removed and replaced and on the Quebec side the dock could remain, but major renovation was needed. “The design is relatively simple – they are concrete docks sloping in the to the water,” Eastman said. “In reality it was very difficult because the water height can change by 10 feet.” There was dredging, concrete and steel work.
There was heritage and environmental concerns that had to be addressed. “A lot of work had to be done in the winter,” Eastman added. “We had to hire an archaeologist to ensure we were not disrupting heritage items. We put a special curtain in the water for Blanding turtles. I had to sign a document saying I would not harm any butternut trees. I don’t even know what a butternut tree is.” The MLQPA successfully raised $2.7 million for the upgrades. The new ferries began operation in the summer of 2014.

and say we did a good job. I am glad I was involved.” And Eastman expects the good work to continue without him. Vydon Acres resident, current MLQPA board member and long time Ottawa Riverkeeper volunteer Pat Tait will step in as chair. “It’s going to be in good hands,” Eastman said.” Quite frankly, she’ll be a lot better at the paperwork than I was. When you put so much in to something, you don’t want to see it falter. I’m quite confident
that’s not going to happen.” Eastman says he is thinking of scaling back his volunteer efforts now that he has stepped down from the MLQPA. “You learn to never say no, but I’m trying to wind down some of the things I’ve been involved in,” said Eastman who is still involved in a few farming organizations and with the United Church in Kinburn. “I am looking to do less, not more.”
“It’s a tremendous facility and it has had major economic benefits on both sides of the river,” Eastman said. Approximately 400 vehicles use the crossing each day.

Two performances of play to help flood victims SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
It’s an encore with a purpose. The Rural Root Theatre Company is going back on stage this Friday, May 26 and Saturday, May 27 to present two additional performances of Ghost of A Chance, with all of the proceeds going to West Carleton/Constance Bay Flood Victim Relief. And if there is a sellout of the 120-seat theatre space at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre, these proceeds could total up to $3,000 for the relief efforts being managed by the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association. That’s what the Rural Root Theatre Company is hoping for, with the belief that people will support this initiative by filling up the theatre for these two performances. “We all love being part of Rural Root and putting on plays for the community, but the prospect of raising up to $3,000 for the victims of the Constance Bay flood makes these two shows so meaningful for us,” states Pamela Stowers, director of publicity of the Rural Root Theatre Company,
who also plays the role of “Verna” in the play. Rural Root Theatre Company was in the middle of its week-long run of Ghost of A Chance when the Ottawa River started its flood surge along the shores of West Carleton. During the course of this week-long run, namely on Friday, May 5, the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre became the command centre for emergency flood relief efforts for the community of Constance Bay. By early Saturday, May 6, it was decided that the final show of Ghost of a Chance would be cancelled to open up more room for emergency activities at the community centre. Indeed, many of the cast and crew members of the play spent the weekend volunteering at the community centre, filling sand bags, preparing and distributing food, and helping with logistics. The community of Constance Bay had been hard hit, with several hundred homes affected by the overflowing river waters and rising ground waters. With the stage still set up for the play at the community
Professional Painting Services
centre and with the actors and crew looking for a meaningful way to help, the Rural Root Theatre Company decided to mount two additional productions of the play, with all of the proceeds going to flood victim relief. So, this play, Ghost of a Chance, will be presented by the Rural Root Theatre Company this Friday, May 26 and Saturday, May 27 with the curtain opening at 7:30 p.m. on both nights. Tickets at $15 each are on sale now and can be purchased online at http://ruralroot.org/tickets/ or by phone at 613-618-9789. Ghost of a Chance is a comedy which involves the story of Bethany, a bright, strong, independent, and beautiful woman who has zero self-esteem. She has taken her fiancée Floyd and his mother Verna up to her cabin in the woods. This was the site of the hunting accident which killed Chance, her first husband. Much to Bethany’s consternation, Chance — or rather, his ghost — is still there. And so the comedy begins. The Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre has been transformed into
a community theatre twice a year since 2006 thanks to a relationship between the Theatre Company and the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Commu-
nity Association. A percentage of proceeds from Rural Root Theatre Company productions go to fund upgrades at the community centre, and many
Rural Root Theatre Company members have put in hours of volunteer time in over the years to help improve the community centre.

Open house coming up at Ottawa River Canoe Club SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Have you always wanted to paddle a canoe? Or a kayak? Or a dragon boat? Well, you can try one or all of these activities, along with other water-related activities, at the upcoming open house at the Ottawa River Canoe Club (ORCC). It’s all happening on Saturday, June 10 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the ORCC’s site on the banks of the Ottawa River at the corner of 6th Line Road and Cameron Harvey Drive (formerly Riddell Road). There will be opportunities to paddle a canoe, a kayak, and a dragon boat, as well as try out standup paddling and an outrigger. There will also be demonstrations throughout the day. This open house is also a chance to learn about the summer camps for

children aged six to 15 years old that the ORCC offers. The ORCC summer camp programs provide a progression of options for children of all ages and abilities to introduce the sport of paddling that includes canoe, kayak, dragon boat, outrigger, standup paddling, and war canoe. The Canoe Kids summer camps are a perfect introductory paddling camp for those aged five and up who want to get out on the water for some fun in the sun. Daily paddling activities are balanced with crafts, games, and a day trip or two to various spots along the river. There’s also lots of swimming. No experience is needed and campers work at their own pace to develop paddling skills. These are non-competitive camps with a focus on boating fun and water safety. Campers will receive instruction in various types of paddling from certified coaches and will have time on the water practicing what they have learned in both single and team boats. There’s also a children’s introductory evening paddling program. The ORCC also has youth and adult programs running from May to September for competitive racing, masters sprint paddling, dragon boat, outrigger, and standup padding. The ORCC also offers recreational and competitive programs for adults and youth with a physical or intel-

lectual disability. The ORCC is a non-profit paddling organization in operation since 2002. It offers individual memberships at $210 plus HST for individuals, and family memberships at $490 plus HST for a family of up to five members. A membership allows use of club facilities and equipment during regular club hours throughout the season, May through October. This includes the use of skill-appropriate boats, paddles, and
life jackets. A membership also allows member registration rates to participate in ORCC teams at regional festivals and regattas. The ORCC is a member of the Eastern Ontario Division of Canoe Kayak Canada. The club was founded by Lesley Anne (L.A.) Schmidt and her husband Bevin in 2002. The Dunrobin couple, avid paddlers themselves, wanted to provide an opportunity for more people to get out on the water and share in the sport of paddling. As a non-profit, all funds earned by the club go back into the organization.
Brittany Drive Pumping Station Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA)
Revised Notice of Completion The City of Ottawa is planning a replacement of the existing Brittany Drive water pumping station located at 565 Brittany Drive with a new facility to serve the Montreal Road Pressure Zone. The proposed new pumping station is required to provide water system capacity and reliability to the existing users and new development in the zone. The planning process for this project followed the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and was completed in November 2005 as a Schedule B undertaking. The timing of the station replacement was connected to the former Rockcliffe CFB Redevelopment project which was delayed for several years. The City consequently also delayed the detailed design and construction of the new Brittany Drive Pumping Station. Since the period of time from filing the first Brittany Drive Pumping Station Class EA Notice of Completion to the proposed commencement of construction for the project exceeds 10 years, the City reviewed the project planning to ensure that the project preferred solution and associated mitigation measures are still valid. The review concluded that no changes to these recommendations are required. If you would like to review the updated Project File or to provide written comment, please contact the City project manager at the address below within 30 calendar days from the date of this Notice.

OPINION
Connected to your community
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
L
eadership in politics is what energizes and motivates people and engages them in the political process. But while good leadership excites, bad leadership discourages. And we have seen recent cases that have covered this spectrum. Let’s call it The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, with apologies to the 1966 spaghetti western starring Clint Eastwood. “The Good”, obviously, is federal Conservative Party interim leader Rona Ambrose, who has announced she is leaving politics. She guided the party to something of a rebirth after its disheartening defeat in the last election. After a relatively mediocre stint as a cabinet minister under former PM Stephen Harper one might have wondered about her leadership qualities, but over her term as interim leader she has rebuilt the party into a formidable and respected opposition. She has done this, we would suggest, with dignity, poise, intelligence, and integrity. She has demonstrated what leadership should be all about. Compare this with “The Bad” and “The Ugly.” “The Bad” is Liberal defence minister Harjit Sajjan, who not once but twice took credit for mil-
itary planning in Afghanistan that he simply did not do. That much is pretty clear. What is not clear is why Sajjan, a respected and decorated soldier in Afghanistan, did this? By way of explanation, he said that he had “made a mistake in describing his role.” Really? He may describe it as a “mistake”; others might term it downright lying. But what is truly disappointing in this situation is that the minister did not have the integrity to resign from his position. That’s why he merits “The Bad” label. And as for “The Ugly,” the Duffy episode was bad enough, lowering the public’s esteem for the Senate immensely. But now comes Senator Don Meredith, who used his position to pursue an inappropriate sexual relationship with a very young woman. The Senate’s ethics committee called his behaviour “one of the most egregious breaches” by a senator of what is expected. It called for his expulsion from the Senate, the first time that would happen. The senator avoided this by eventually resigning, ending this “ugly, ugly” situation. So, there you have it. “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.” And some wonder why so many get turned off on politics these days.
Airline travel certainly no walk in the clouds
T
here seems to be no shortage of news stories about people getting kicked off airplanes. Typically, people get on an airplane, the airline discovers that there are not enough seats, and then determines that a particular passenger, along with his family, should leave the flight in order for other passengers to board. In the worst case (so far), the passengers booted off the plane were unseated in order to make room for airline employees. In a less-bad case, the passengers were booted off the plane because of what seemed to be a rather minor irregularity in ticketing. In all cases, passengers were seriously inconvenienced, when not physically harmed. In all cases, the airline apologized, sometimes belatedly, sometimes grudgingly, and announced that its primary concern was to serve the
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town public in the best possible way. For example, here is how Delta Air Lines ended its apology for kicking off an entire family, including an infant: “Delta's goal is to always work with customers in an attempt to find solutions to their travel issues.” These stories resonate with us, because when we read them we realize that it could happen to us. Having passed through security, having waited and waited, having presented our boarding pass and our photo I.D., we could be safely in our assigned seat, breathing a sigh of relief when somebody from the airline comes along Vice President & Regional Publisher Peter Bishop pbishop@metroland.com 613-283-3182

and demands that we get off, for a reason that doesn’t even matter. It could happen to us. And we are powerless to stop it. That’s what makes it worse — our powerlessness. Powerlessness is part of the air travel experience for all of us. We dare not make a joke. We dare not question authority. Because at any moment we could be singled out and denied the right to fly. If we want to know what living in a totalitarian society is like, this is it. There are nice airports in the world, and Ottawa’s is one of them, but the over-all impression of the flying experience is that we are treated like cattle. In a largely free and largely democratic society, it is difficult to imagine other areas of life in which this is so. In most places, if we are treated unfairly, arbitrarily, we object. We
argue. Someone in authority comes to talk it over with us. We might win the argument, we might lose it, but at least there is a discussion. Not so in the airline world. The airline world has us over a barrel because we need to get on the plane, and will endure whatever mistreatment is on offer in order to do so. We will pay for things that we shouldn’t have to pay for (checked baggage, room for our knees), we will take off our belts and shoes, sit through unexplained delays and, it appears, look on without comment as our fellow passengers are chucked off the plane. Fortunately, one thing aggrieved passengers can do is go to the news media. As the result of extensive coverage of recent unpleasantness, the Canadian government promised last week to take legislative action, including a

Letter: Volunteers remain Editor: I am writing in response to Jake Davies' article, "Volunteer firefighter, Constance Bay resident battles own flood issues" in which Mr. Davies writes, "The volunteers are gone, the city staff and politicians are gone ..." Mr. Davies, they are not gone. The volunteers, the city and our local politicians remain and they want to help. Volunteers are present in Constance Bay and working just as hard as ever for flood-affected residents. Volunteers from both inside and outside of our community have continually risen up to the evolving challenges of serving flood affected residents over these past weeks and it's a shame you've assumed they are gone as I have never seen a group more present in my life. I suggest you consider a drive to Constance Bay — for the sake of accuracy. You'll still find volunteers helping in flood-affected homes, at the legion, and at the emergency community support centre (ECSC)
located at the Constance and Buckham's Bay Community Centre. Should you happen to find the ECSC at 262 Len Purcell Dr., Mr. Davies, you'll also see city staff from several departments on-site and ready to triage, answer city-resource questions, follow up on resident inquiries and connect residents with the departments that can help. Karen McCrimmon and Eli El-Chantiry have been very connected — and as I write, they are at the ECSC as well. To all the volunteers, city staff onsite and our dedicated politicians in Constance Bay, Mr. Davies may not have an eye for what's happening in our community, but I see you. As a resident, I appreciate what you are doing for my community in its time of need, and as a human being I am in awe of the strength and generosity you have shown. Stand proud; one reporter's shallow words will not dilute your tremendous contributions. Angela Muis Constance Bay
Lowell Green’s new book BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
A book celebrating Canada’s 150th. Interesting. A book containing 150 stories about Canada. Intriguing. A book telling true stories about the country and its amazing people that have probably never been heard before thanks to unique research by the author. Certainly a ‘must read’ for every Canadian. And the author who has researched and written this 314 page book is none other than radio personality Lowell Green, a West Carleton resident who lives just a stone’s throw outside Stittsville. And he doesn’t just tell the stories but he tells each one from a unique perspective. For instance, he tells about the death and destruction in Toronto in 1954 caused by Hurricane Hazel. It was the worst natural disaster in the history of Toronto. But author Green zeroes in on what happened on Raymore Drive, a residential street beside the Humber River where

flood waters swept away entire houses within minutes, ultimately killing 35 people. And it was all because a small footbridge across the Humber River was not totally swept away but remained to direct the raging river onto the nearby street. He tells the story of the development of the Red Fife strain of wheat which allowed Canada’s West to become vast wheat fields. But it’s a story not of laboratory research but of a few grains of wheat that are trapped under the hatband of a Scottish man, a friend of David Fife, a farmer near Peterborough. These “hatband” grains eventually produce five stalks of top quality wheat for Fife but a cow eats them, all except one stalk. But Fife uses the grains from this one stalk to eventually develop the best, hardiest early maturing wheat in the world. Green tells how the McIntosh ap-
ple was developed in Canada as a result of a tragic love story involving its developer John McIntosh. He lost his beloved to death and decided to farm as close as possible to her gravesite. On that land he discovered apple tree saplings that led to the McIntosh apple of today. And on it goes. There’s the story of one sole RCMP officer convincing Sitting Bull to return to the United States from his refuge in Canada. He tells the tale of how an old felt hat saved the life of a Hudson’s Bay store employee who was earmarked to be killed just like others in what is known as the Frog Lake Massacre of the Riel Rebellion. One of the stories in the book is about the Belcher Islands massacre in Canada’s Far North which Green calls one of Canada’s most gruesome mass murders. See BOOK, page 10

Notice of Commencement Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor (Bayshore Station to Heron Station) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study The Project The City of Ottawa is proposing to construct a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility between Bayshore Station and Heron Station. The corridor follows an alignment which includes Holly Acres Road, Richmond Road, Baseline Road, and Heron Road (Figure 1). Near the Baseline Station area, it travels via Constellation Drive, Navaho Drive, College Avenue and Woodroffe Avenue to link the Centrepointe community and Algonquin College campus. The project proposes dedicated bus-only lanes (generally in the median), 25 new transit stations and new pedestrian and cycling facilities along the length of the 14-km corridor. The project will incorporate all elements of a complete street while also maintaining the function of the road as an Arterial Road. This project is part of the Rapid Transit and Transit Priority Network identified in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) 2013 and connects to other existing and planned rapid transit corridors, including the West Transitway, the O-Train Confederation Line, the Southwest Transitway, the O-Train Trillium Line, and Southeast Transitway. The project will accommodate the anticipated growth in transit ridership as contemplated in the TMP and support the growth management policies identified in the City’s Official Plan (OP).
Figure 1: Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor The Process The City of Ottawa has completed a preliminary planning phase and is commencing the Environmental Assessment Phase in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. Consultation A draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) has been prepared. The draft EPR contains the basis on which this project is being carried out, an analysis of existing environmental conditions, supporting studies, an analysis of impacts the project may have, recommendations on potential mitigation measures, and a record of consultation that has taken place during the study period. A digital version of the draft EPR and other project information is available for downloading, at the following web address: ottawa.ca/baselinecorridor. The draft EPR is also available in print at the locations noted below: Ottawa Public Library, Main Branch 120 Metcalfe Street Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5M2
Centrepointe Library (Nepean) 101 Centrepointe Dr. Ottawa, Ontario K2G 5K7
Interested parties are invited to review the project information. Within 120 days of the issuance of this notice, a subsequent Notice of Completion will be issued. A final EPR will be made available for a formal 30-day public review period at that time. To submit comments If you have questions or comments on the information provided, would like to be added to our project mailing list, or have any accessibility requirements in order to participate in this project, please contact on behalf of the proponent, the City of Ottawa Project Manager:
Book tells 150 stories about Canada, just in time for the country’s 150th Continued from page 9
And so it goes for all 150 stories in this book. They are stories either told from a unique perspective or stories that are relatively unknown to Canadians. Green even includes his own four personal stories involving Prime Minister John Diefenbaker with whom he had, in his own words, a “love/hate relationship” over the years. One of these stories involves the Diefenbunker in Carp. All of the stories are brief, usually just two pages in the book. All of them are written to be read in two minutes or less, with the reader able to read them in whatever order strikes his or her fancy. A reader might chose to read about the “Miraculous Survival on the Island of Demons,” all about a beautiful young French woman abandoned on a remote island off the northern tip of Newfoundland who survived. Indeed, her picture, dressed in a bear hide, graces the front cover of the book. Other stories bear titles like “The Grandest Canyon,” “One Tough Woman!,” “Totem Pole Pride,” “The Potato Accord,” “The Savage’s Wig,” “The Water Superhighway,” “Canadian Camels,” “The Great Bluenose Boondoggle,” “The Pianoman!,” “9/11 and the Stanley Cup,” “You’re not legal, you’re a Woman!,” “Forget the Red Baron!,” “The Almost Pig War,” “The Duelist,” “The Kidnapping,” “The Best Damn Satellite in Space,” “Marilyn Bell,” “Pirates of the Thousand Islands,” “The Newfoundland Florence Nightingale,” “Goodbye Colonel By,” and “The Avro Arrow Mystery.” As is stated on the book’s flyleaf, “It’s all here. One hundred and fifty of the most interesting, wildest, craziest, far out, believe it or not stories about Canada ever published. This is not trivia. These are true stories about a country and its amazing people that you’ve probably never heard before, often because Lowell has done the research no one else has ever done before. You will be intrigued, shocked, amused and always entertained and yes, you’ll learn some pretty amazing but true things about this country.” This book had its genesis when Green was visiting Lunenburg in Nova Scotia two summers ago. He was recognized there by a person who told him about Mona Parsons of Wolfville, NS who had an unbelievable experience in the Second World War and indeed has a statue honouring her erected in Wolfville. Green looked into the Mona Parsons story which is, by the way, his self-proclaimed favourite story in the book, entitled “From Chorus Girl to Hero.” But the story got him thinking that there are probably a lot of stories involving Canadians that people do not know about. His wife then suggested that he compile 150 of these stories and publish them in time for Canada’s 150th birthday. It took Green a year and a half to research and write the stories that are now found in this book which is entitled “Amazing But True!: 150 Fascinating Stories About Canada.”

Radio personality and author Lowell Green holds a copy of his new boo, “Amazing But True! 150 Fascinating Stories About Canada.” Green, who is now retired from his full-time radio job, still does a 15 minute segment on CFRA Radio each weekday morning. While researching and writing this book, he would do this segment, then have breakfast and then spend the rest of the day doing research and writing for the book. He admits that the final 50 stories took a lot of research to produce the kind of story that he wanted to populate this book but he did it, although he admits that he was “pretty well pooped” at the end of the process. He does admit that Google was a great help in doing the research as it provided access to information and newspaper accounts that proved invaluable in compiling the stories. The book has been released for a couple of weeks now and Green, an author of ten other books which have all been top sellers, feels that this new book will be his most successful ever. He says that it is more than just a book but rather is “a keepsake” for Canada’s 150th birthday. He believes that readers will not only learn about Canada by reading the book but will come to realize that Canada’s history is far from bland and indeed, as shown in these 150 stories, is really exciting. The artwork in the book, including the front cover artwork and the artwork which accompanies many of the stories, was done by his son, Jeremy Milbank. The book, which sells for $26.95, is available at Chapters as well as various independent outlets around the area. The book, which has been published by Spruce Ridge Publishing, Green’s own publishing company, is also available at the website https:// lgreen.ca .

W o r k s h o p instructor Judi Varga-Toth teaches Stonecrest Grade 3 students about local, seasonal healthy fruits and vegetables.
Healthy food workshops provide local produce knowledge for Stonecrest kids BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com
Even attending a school surrounded by farmers’ fields, kids just don’t know about the wonderful local food available to them in West Carleton. Sustain West Carleton is part of a three-year initiative to work with Ottawa communities and carry out projects that support citizen engagement while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. One of the ways Sustain is reaching that goal is through food security. One such project is a series of healthy food workshops held at Stonecrest Elementary School. “Our goal is to increase access to and knowledge of healthy food,” West Carleton Coordinator Kate Garvie said. Sustain West Carleton is holding eight workshops led by Credible Edible founder Judi Varga-Toth at the school to help teach children about healthy, local food opportunities. Grades 1, 4, and 5 attended workshops the week of May 9, and the rest will attend workshops through the end of May. On Wednesday, May 17, the West Carleton Review was able to participate in the Grade 3 French class workshop. They will be sorting fruits and vegetables seasonally, as well as by regional availability. They will learn a bit about making healthy snacks, participate in quizzes, and learn some
basic kitchen skills. “There are some fruits and veggies the kids probably haven’t seen before,” Garvie said. “The goal is to get kids excited about eating healthy.” Workshop instructor VargaToth said she started focusing on the importance of healthy eating following her fifth child. She was already active on environmental issues and in 2006 founded Credible Edibles — a company that created healthy ‘lunchables’ in reusable serving boxes as part of an Ottawa school lunch program. Her business grew and she had demand from adults for similar products, and she started a catering business, café, and cooking school as well. When she moved to West Carleton, she closed her building but started visiting schools.
“Today, they are learning the importance of healthy and local,” she said. “You’d be surprised how much they don’t know about what’s grown locally. The don’t seem to have a connection to their food.” Varga-Toth says the kids learn quickly about costs and local imported produce. They then learn about low-cost labour. “They start to figure it out,” she said. “They’re learning the Jake Davies/Metroland importance of healthy and local.” Stonecrest Grade 3 students Savannah Matson (left) and Isabel Gigliotti sort fruits and The last workshop Sustain vegetables by season during a healthy snacks workshop held on May 17. West Carleton will be hosting will be for the Grade 7 classes, and it will be a training workshop. “Hopefully, they will be able to teach the younger kids some of the skills they’ve learned,” Varga-Toth said. 83 Creek Drive • 83CreekDrive.com

Mayor’s Report
CELEBRATING CANADA’S BIG DAY By: Mayor Jim Watson We have been working hard to bring Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations to the Nation’s Capital and kicked off 2017 by lighting up the Cauldron at City Hall and the Centennial Flame with a First Nations sacred fire. Since then, the celebrations have not stopped and we’ve had an incredible first half of 2017: • Delectable culinary experience with Fire and Ice, a four-course gourmet dinner served in a tomato greenhouse • Thrills and spills during Red Bull Crashed Ice, the National Skating Championships and the Davis Cup • Moving concerts and memorable performances during JUNO Week and at the JUNO Awards • Diverse world-class cultural events showcasing Canada’s multicultural and welcoming spirit during numerous Ottawa Welcomes the World events held at Lansdowne Park But the celebrations would not be complete without throwing Canada a grand and impressive birthday party on July 1st, 2017! Once again, Ottawa’s Canada Day celebrations will start bright and early with my Annual Canada Day Celebration for Seniors, and will continue throughout the afternoon with special Canada Day events taking place in all corners of the City, from Beacon Hill to Vernon, and of course, in Ottawa’s urban core. Don’t miss these free Ottawa 2017 signature events: • Inspiration Village, an ephemeral hub and the site of a succession of special exhibits and performing arts events in Ottawa’s historic By Ward Market, each one showcasing Canada’s provinces and territories • Kontinuum, an immersive multimedia production unfolding in Ottawa’s future Lyon Light Rail Transit (LRT) station
Speaking at the Herb Garden SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
One of Canada’s best-known gardeners will be speaking at the Herb Garden on Old Almonte Road in West Carleton this Sunday, May 28. His presentation will run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., billed as a pruning seminar and question-and-answer session with him. All of the proceeds from the event are going to support Lanark County Interval House. So you will not only be picking up some gardening tips, but also supporting a very necessary charitable organization. Tickets to this presentation are $20 per person. They can be reserved by credit card at 613-256-0228. Recently retired after 30 years of outstanding achievement in the field of Canadian horticulture, Ed Lawrence's tenure as chief horticultural specialist to six consecutive governors general spanned a period of viceregal history dating from Jules Leger in the 1970s to Adrienne Clarkson in 2005. In his capacity as head gardener, Ed's responsibilities included not only the oversight of the 85-acre historic grounds and greenhouses of Rideau Hall, but of all six official residences under the authority of the National Capital Commission, including those of the prime minister and the leader of the opposition.

Gardening expert Ed Lawrence will be speaking at the Herb Garden in West Carleton on May 28. During that same period, Ed's gardening expertise gained popular recognition through CBC Radio's Ontario Today noontime gardening phone-in show heard every Monday. After more than two decades, enthusiasm for Ed's down-to-earth practical advice shows no sign of waning, making the Monday gardening hour one of the longest-running and most
successful features in the annals of Canadian broadcast history. His on-air popularity has led to other appearances on numerous radio and television gardening programs, including The Hobby Garden, From a Country Garden, The Canadian Gardener, and Vie de chalet on RadioCanada. In the summer of 2001, Ed hosted a 13-part television gardening series, The Gardener, produced in partnership with the National Capital Commission in Ottawa and WPBS TV in Watertown, N.Y. Ed has written gardening columns for newspapers throughout the Ottawa Valley and a weekly column for the Toronto edition of the national newspaper The Globe and Mail. In 1988, he won Landscape Ontario's Garden Communicators' Award for his broadcasting work, and in 2000 was the recipient of the prestigious award of merit from the Ontario Horticultural Association. Toronto-born and Humber College-educated, Ed now resides on a farm in the Almonte region and continues to share his gardening knowhow through a broad range of national and community-based horticultural endeavours. The Herb Garden is located at 3840 Old Almonte Rd. near the corner of Upper Dwyer Hill Road.
July 1st will also mark the opening of the National Art Centre’s beautiful new entrance and atrium. To celebrate this important milestone, the NAC will offer a full day of free concerts, programming and activities. After your stop at the NAC, enjoy free admission for the whole family at all National Museums and National Galleries in the Nation’s Capital. The 2017 Canada Day celebrations will culminate with concerts, special performances and fireworks on Parliament Hill, where thousands of residents and visitors will unite in true Canadian spirit and pay homage to our great country. But the festivities will not stop there. The Nation’s Capital will be the site of continuous sesquicentennial celebrations for the rest of 2017, and we will continue to dazzle and inspire residents and visitors with free events such as La Machine, and ambulatory urban theatre on the streets of downtown Ottawa, the lighting and illumination of Chaudière Falls showcasing Indigenous heritage and the continued celebrations of nations from around the world during Ottawa Welcomes the World.

Avian Ambassadors campaign by Wild Bird Care Centre SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Window collisions, cats and ‘birdnapping’ are among three biggest issues threatening to overwhelm the Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre (WBCC) again this spring. With the first influx of birds already arriving, the WBCC worries it could be the beginning of another near-record year for bird admissions. In 2016, the centre received nearly 3,300 sick, injured and orphaned birds - about 30 per cent more than in 2015. So far this year, more than 500 birds have been brought to the centre - already 50 more than last year. About one-third of patients are victims of window collisions, cat attacks and well-intentioned Good Samaritans who rescue baby birds that do not need saving. WBCC board chair Debbie Lawes warns this escalating number of preventable injuries and rescues will continue to challenge the centre’s sustainability. “Last year was a tough one for us. We haven’t seen admissions that high since the West Nile virus outbreak more than 15 years ago,” says Lawes. “Our staff and volunteers work above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we never turn away a bird in need, but these numbers are exceeding our limited funding and resources.” In response, the region’s only wild bird rehabilitation centre has launched its first-ever Avian Ambassadors campaign. “Our goal is for 1,200 caring residents to donate just $25 each to reach our fundraising target of $30,000, which will help us care for the more than 1,300 young birds we expect to
Red Trillium Tour SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Get ready for the semi-annual Red Trillium Studio and Garden Tour. This year, the 36th semi-annual edition of this tour of studios and gardens of artists and artisans in West Carleton is happening on Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. On this Red Trillium Studio and
receive over the coming weeks,” says Lawes. As part of its campaign, the WBCC is also educating residents on what they can do to reduce bird injuries and prevent birds from becoming unnecessarily orphaned. Bird collisions: In Canada, an estimated 16 to 42 million birds collide with glass on buildings every year. Residences are responsible for 44 per cent of bird collisions, while low-rises (four to 11 storeys) account for 55 per cent and highrises less than one per cent. The key to preventing collisions is to make your windows visible to birds. Visit www.safewings.ca for practical tips and strategies for reducing collisions at home. Cats: Outdoor cats kill more than 100 million birds every year in Canada alone, particularly songbirds. While keeping your cats indoors is still the best solution, at a minimum, keep your cat inside during the day, especially early in the morning or other peak bird feeding times. Outdoor enclosures — often called cat patios or “catios” — are another option that can allow cats outdoors without endangering birds. Also, try using a bright-coloured, breakaway collar. Birdsbesafe collars, for example, have been found to reduce bird fatalities by 87 per cent (www.birdsbesafe.com). Meanwhile, the old bell on the collar is not only ineffective, but also dangerous for cats. ‘Birdnapping’: Of the nearly 1,350 hatchlings, pre-fledglings and fledglings brought to the WBCC last year, about 250 were totally healthy and not in any apparent need of rescu-
ing. Baby birds are particularly labour intensive. If fewer unnecessary orphaned baby birds were created, the WBCC could devote more time and resources to other injured and truly needy baby birds. For more information on what to do if you find a baby bird, read our flyer and visit our website at www.wildbirdcarecentre.org. “The most important thing to do if you find a baby bird is to make certain it is truly an orphan before intervening,” says Mireille Goguen, executive director of the WBCC. “If a young bird is fully feathered, alert, able to walk or hop, and can perch on low branches, please leave it alone. It is normal for parents to leave their young alone for periods of time as they search for food and care for other fledglings.” However, this rule doesn’t apply to waterfowl like baby ducks and geese, which Goguen says “should never be left alone.” “Birds will not abandon their young if touched by humans,” adds Goguen. “In most cases, you can assume the parents are close by, and will respond and help when they hear their baby calling. Remember, baby birds have the best possible chance of survival with their parents.” To donate to our Avian Ambassador’s spring campaign, visit the fundraising page at http://wildbirdcarecentre.org/rehabbirds.html. The public can also donate much-needed items like food and other supplies. A wish list is available at: www.wildbirdcarecentre.org.

The Kinburn Community Centre became like “The Shopping Channel Live” on May 18 as Nygard fashions were modelled at the annual “Ladies Night Out” hosted by St. Thomas Anglican Church of Woodlawn. A wide selection of outfits ranging from the famous Nygard SLIMS to blazers and cardigans to dresses were modelled by a dozen ladies, even including St. Thomas’ minister, Rev. Hilary Murray. Those in attendance, who sat at tables spread throughout the hall with yellow and pink tableclothes adorned with a single flower in a vase,
not only got to see these Nygard fashions but also heard about some of the latest fashion trends and tips from commentator Sandra Edwards, manager of the ALIA n TanJay outlet at the Hazeldean Mall in Kanata. They heard that a so-called seven-panel piece, be it, for instance, a blazer or a dress, is a most flattering style for a woman as the various panels tend to catch the eye. Any clothing item with vertical lines like a seven-panel item makes a person look taller and lures the eye vertically to the benefit of the wearer, commentator Edwards pointed out. A number of the pants and jeans featured lots of pockets. See HOMEMADE, page 15

Homemade desserts, lots of door prizes Continued from page 14
Some of the tops which were modelled featured lots of detail and tassels were a feature on a couple of the pieces modelled. Model Lynn White had a particular fun time twirling the tassel on her outfit, even bringing forth laughter from the audience for her antics with the tassel. Denim jackets and vests are popular this spring, particularly if they are of waist length. A denim jacket can be worn to make any outfit appear more casual, commentator Edwards remarked. The nautical theme for clothes is another popular trend this year, with commentator Edwards confirming that this nautical look is really big right now. Clothing featuring polkadots, whether small or larger, is also very popular this year. Large and small polkadots can be worn together and will look good, commentator Edwards said. Embellished necklines were featured on a couple of the clothing items modelled. This can take the place of jewellery depending on the desired look. Those at this Ladies Night Out not only enjoyed this fashion show but also
had a chance at a myriad of door prizes donated by various individuals and business. Winners in this door prize draw went home with such prizes as tickets to the fall production by Rural Root Theatre Company, bottles of wine, a gift certificate to Darvesh’s Grocery at Kinburn, two litres of maple syrup, a picture donated by the Constance Bay Pharmacy, a certificate for golf at the Madawaska Golf Club, a hand-made bird house, a gift basket, a floral planter and more. Homemade desserts and tea/coffee were enjoyed at the intermission break. A Share The Wealth draw saw funds raised not only for St. Thomas Church but also for West Carleton flood relief. There were also two individual winners, each taking home $142.75. Everyone at the fashion show also went home with a certificate worth $10 off on a purchase at the ALIA n TanJay store at the Hazeldean Mall. ALIA and TanJay are two of the seven product lines of Nygard International, a Canadian clothing brand that is one of the world’s largest women’s clothing manufacturers and suppliers.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton
Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Constituent Town Hall Please join me at our next Town Hall on Sunday, 28 May from 2–4 pm at the Richcraft Centre, 4101 Innovation Drive in Kanata. I look forward to discussing a broad array of topics and answer your questions.
Dreams Soar This past week I had the opportunity to wish Shaesta Waiz, Afghanistan’s first female civilian pilot and founder of Dreams Soar, Inc., the best of luck as she embarks on a solo flight around the world. This is truly an inspirational story of courage and compassion. I wished her safe travels and hope the skies remain clear and the tailwinds remain favourable as she pursues her dream: to inspire and empower young women into science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.
Transportation Modernization This past week our government took important steps to protect your rights as air passengers and improve our rail system to get products to market quickly and safely. Bill C49, the Transportation Modernization Act, includes new Air Passenger Rights to establish clear standards for all travellers. This bill will protect you from being bumped involuntarily due to overbooking – making sure you get to where you need to be. For families, it means you won’t have to pay extra to have your kids sitting close to you. Moving Canadian products is important to growing our economy, and #Transportation2030 ensures we have a reliable rail system to do that.

Council committee looks at city’s noise bylaw BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
From house parties to construction noise, the city took a look at the noise bylaw. The report came to the community and protective services committee on May 19 and was approved as per staff recommendations, despite the bulk of the meeting being taken up in a discussion over early morning construction start times. Staff was actually proposing to keep things at status quo, but a motion by Rideau-Rockliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum put forward to reduce Saturday construction hours. The motion would have changed the 7 a.m. start time to 9 a.m. but was opposed by the Ottawa Construction Association and The National Capital Heavy Construction Association before it was even tabled. John Devries with the construction association, said the vast majority of their workers are seasonal and reduc-
ing hours could put members at risk of not obtaining the number of hours needed to qualify for EI benefits in the off season. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli, who chairs the transportation committee, asked if a change could impact the city’s promise that the redesign of Elgin Street in one construction season. The answer from the delegation was that the city would have its “hands full” meeting the timeline. Dale Harley, who represents the National Capital Heavy Construction Association, said the complaints over construction noise are minimal and reducing work hours would have an economic impact. “You’re using a sledgehammer to kill a flea problem,” he said. The staff report said there were 63 complaints related to construction noise last year. Roger Chapman, manager of bylaw services, said Ottawa is pretty restrictive in terms of what they allow for

construction than other municipalities, which is why staff wasn’t recommending a reduction in hours. But Nussbaum pointed out that Toronto only allows construction from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and doesn’t allow construction on statutory holidays. “The motion is a modest approach,” he said, adding it’s time to consider construction noise in different parts of the city. Even if the allowed time for construction was changed, companies could apply for an exemption – which already happens in some cases, said planning GM Stephen Willis. Egli said modest motion or not, he wouldn’t support curtailing construction hours. “Construction is nasty, noisy and dirty, but it’s necessary,” he said, adding he wouldn’t put a bylaw that’s simply “window dressing.” College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said he thinks the motion is a misfire on what residents actually want when it comes to construction. Chiarelli added it’s council’s job to support economic growth. “Stepping in the way of construction isn’t the way,” he said. The review uncovered that low-frequency or bass noise is the problem with a lot of complaints around house parties. Now bylaw officers will have the ability to enforce low frequency noise, which wasn’t included in the bylaw before. Ottawa Festivals representative Carole Anne Piccinin said the industry would have liked to be consulted on the changes. Chapman said festivals and venues shouldn’t be too concerned about the changes since 95 per cent of the calls are for noise in residential units.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, May 25, 2017 17
Venta presents a modern-day Hamlet West Ottawa Living I am new to West Ottawa. I moved here last fall to work for the West Ottawa Board of Trade and it is our mission to create a prosperous community in which businesses and individuals thrive. We do this by advocating for business, advancing economic development initiatives and providing business services such as networking, education, promotion and money saving programs. My work is very rewarding. It is exciting to see the growth and innovation happening in every sector of our community; economically and socially. Part of my role involves working with other economic stakeholders and business leaders to attract people to Ottawa to invest, work, study and visit. And one of the key decision criteria for each of these groups is whether Ottawa is a great place to live. Of course, the answer is yes! And the word is out! Ottawa is growing at a faster rate than Ontario and Canada as whole and by 2019 our population will reach one million! When we think about why Ottawa is such a fantastic place to live, the reason will be different for each of us. However, there are some obvious common threads including many cultural, social and economic opportunities. Certainly, there is some clout to being the capital of a G7 country and home to the embassies and high commissions of more than 130 of the world’s nations. We are rich in history and considered one of the most welcoming and diverse nations in the world. We host spectacular events featuring music, the arts and community pride. And everyone knows we have the best national hockey team in the world! We are surrounded by much natural beauty including hundreds of kilometers of trails for hiking, cycling and skiing. We have a high standard of living married with a low cost of living. We enjoy access to big city amenities in an environment that is safe and leading choice for raising families. Tonight, you can enjoy the culinary talents of top chefs and tomorrow, enjoy local produce from the farmer’s market. Today, you can work in the heart of the world’s economy and tonight, you can go to sleep in your quiet country home. Every choice is at your fingertips. We have one of the most highly educated workforces in Canada. We are home to four high performing major post-secondary institutions and account for 65% of the government’s research and development. We have Canada’s largest technology park with over 1,700 tech companies working on telecom, health and clean energy – some that are leading edge in the world. In 2017, we will attract 1.7 million additional visitors to Ottawa. We live in a community of dedicated and innovative leaders, volunteers and entrepreneurs working to ensure our global competitiveness and create quality of life for us all. When I think about the collection of things that make Ottawa a great place to live I realize I have actually experienced it living in West Ottawa. And what strikes me most is the concept of ‘having it all’ when you live here. You have the best of all worlds for work, for living and for leisure. If you love diversity and opportunity, then it is the perfect place to live. So we decided that we wanted to create a campaign highlighting the many wonderful aspects of West Ottawa Living. Details are coming soon! We hope you love it, that it will inspire a strong sense of community pride for you and that you will feel compelled to tell the story of why West Ottawa as the best place to live, work and play. Cheers to your success, Sueling Sueling Ching | Executive Director West Ottawa Board of Trade | www.westottawabot.com The West Ottawa Board of Trade is a nonprofit, nonpartisan business association, independently driven and funded by business members. Our mission is to create a prosperous environment in which businesses and individuals thrive through economic development and providing value added services. We are advocates. We are change makers. We are connectors. Join us. 18 West Carleton Review - Thursday, May 25, 2017

Getting rid of sandbags SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Sandbag removal continued in West Carleton over the long holiday weekend. Clean-up operations continued on both Sunday, May 21 and Monday, May 22 to move sandbags from residential properties to the side of the road for pickup. Volunteers were called upon to help out in carrying the heavy sandbags. Volunteers were supplied with gloves and were advised to wear comfortable clothing with long sleeves, along with pants and boots. The three meeting locations for volunteers to help with sandbag removal included the Dun-
robin sandbag clean-up meeting point at the Dunrobin Fire Hall; the Fitzroy Harbour sandbag clean-up meeting point at the Fitzroy Harbour Fire Hall; and the Constance Bay sandbag clean-up meeting point at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre. An OC Transpo shuttle service operated from the Eagleson Park and Ride to the three cleanup meeting points and back every two hours on both Sunday and Monday. Parking was available both on site as well as at the Eagleson Park and Ride location. The Salvation Army provided food and drinks for the volunteers.

Walk-In Bathtubs – What you need to know!
Are they safer? First and foremost a walk-in bathtub can provide a senior with “safety”, greatly reducing the risk of falling while entering or exiting the bathtub. The side of a typical bathtub is 16 inches or more in height and 6 inches across, which can present a significant barrier to some people. As the ranks of seniors continue to grow, so do associated bathroom injuries. Some of the better walk-in tubs have a “slide-in” design, that is safer than the traditional walk-in tub. Are there any Health Benefits? A warm bath especially with warm air bubble jets can offer health benefits, which a shower cannot provide. This hydrotherapy can help with poor circulation by dilating blood vessels, while reducing inflammation and pain associated with fibromyalgia, arthritis and other conditions. Also it just plain feels good. Privacy & Convenience Walk-in bathtubs allow a senior to bathe in dignity, often without assistance, that might otherwise be necessary. It also spares them the necessity of sitting on an uncomfortable shower stool, while attempting to wash. Most of these tubs include a retractable shower wand. What about Installation? Although these tubs can be installed in most homes, it’s recommended that you use an experienced walk-in tub installer that does it for a living, rather than a regular plumber.
What can I expect to pay? Solutions start at around $2500 and can go as high as $15000 or more depending on what you want and whether or not installation is included. What about Warranties? Most manufacturers have what are called limited lifetime warranties that basically cover the tub itself. It’s best to have the installation done by the company you purchased the tub from, so that you are covered regardless of any issues concerning the manufacture or installation of the tub. Where can I buy one? You can buy walk-in tubs from a distributor right in your home or from one of the big box stores. The advantage of buying in home is that the representative can look at the bathroom where you want the tub installed to determine whether or not it can be done and what issues there may be. He/she will be able to answer all the questions right there on the spot. Big box stores will also sell you this product, often for less money, but generally carry imported products of lesser quality and you have to hire your own installer. In summary Walk-in bathtubs allow seniors to stay in their homes longer and can have many health benefits, providing pain relief from arthritis, fibromyalgia and stiff aching joints. Walk-in tubs can allow some seniors to bathe alone again not having to depend on others for help.

OPINION
Connected to your community
We have entered the Golden Age on the Fisher Farm
T
he Farmer and I have entered a new era. After 10 years of marriage, at the ages of 61 and 49, we have welcomed a new baby into our lives. He is a Golden Retriever and we have decided, after much debate, to name him Fergus. The Farmer wanted to name him Red. He is a red type rather than the English blond type of Golden, but I argued that “Red” is simply a colour and not a name. I wanted to name him Finn, but perhaps that is more fitting of an Irish setter. Goldens come from Scotland. We were watching Outlander on Netflix one night when the name came to me. He will be known as Fergus the Red. Fergie for short. We have received a great deal of advice on how to train house training. However, I was reminded that if you this puppy. Some say you should crate the dog beside your bed so you allow the pup to sleep in your room as can get up in the night to put him outside. This will speed up a pup, he will think it is his room going forward. I don’t want to be sharing my room with a huge dog that is dreaming AUCTION SALE loudly about chasing rabbits and snoring in his sleep. When I mentioned this Saturday, May 27, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. to my husband he said: “Well, you could Cobden Agricultural Hall, Cobden, Ontario always go sleep in the other room!” Household and tools, O.P.P. items and guest Fergus was tucked into his pet carrier Old hanging lamp, BMX bike, Echo and Husqvarna chainsaws, whipper-snipper, 2000W power inverter, pocket watch and more. on the first night. This was settled into the larger crate which will from now on Lunch by Cobden Ag. Society. be his safe place for naps and bed time Tune to 98.7FM Valley Heritage - Thurs. noon for and any time he wants to get away from Barnyard Breakdown. Sundays: Sheila Show 7-10 a.m. us, our visitors, and our house cats. (Although we haven’t seen much of said Visit www.revelstewart.com for listing house cats since Fergus arrived.)

that Fergus could use the puppy pads in the larger crate if need be. And there was a need, the first night. The second night, I awoke a couple times in the night and brought him outside to relieve himself in the long grass that I have designated as his toilet area. His crate pad stayed dry. The first full day at home, Fergus roamed around and explored every corner in the house. He discovered that although he can wedge himself under or between many different pieces of furniture, he cannot always extricate himself. He is very quiet, and doesn’t know his name yet so I spent a few minutes looking for him before finally discovering him stuck uncomfortably in a tight space under the spare bed. I decided to block the exits so he has to stay in the room
with me. I also used up about half a bottle of enzyme spray to eradicate pup accident odours. We are starting to learn each other’s language so hopefully in the next week or so we will go through a day without an indoor mess. It’s hard to know when he is planning a pee when he spends the majority of each day with his nose to the ground, sniffing. Always sniffing. The other thing Fergus loves to do is chew. He has a variety of chew toys in different strengths so that he can exercise his needle-sharp teeth. Unfortunately, he likes toes and fingers the best. I have the marks to prove it. But, for the most part, our tiny Golden Retriever wants to please us. It is obvious that he is looking for instruction, so we just have to figure out how to tell him what we expect, and to reinforce it. This is all new to me so, of course, I am reading. I’m learning how to train our pup so that he can soon go off on road trips with the Farmer/Real Estate Agent. It wasn’t our intention to buy a puppy. We have both always owned rescue dogs from shelters. But despite contacting all area shelters and registering with Golden Rescue, we were unable to find a retriever that way, so we had to place an order for one of a spring litter. Fergus is the Farmer’s “retirement dog,” although that man may never really retire. He has always wanted a Golden, so I suppose he deserves one. It’s plenty of work, training and cleaning up after this little creature, but I realize he will only be little for so long. Thank goodness he sleeps a lot, because I am exhausted. www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

Mary didn’t need lessons on how to pray ‘Soup ‘n Dipity’
T
here I sat, as I did every Sunday, in the same pew, in the same row, in the same church. Only a calamity of the highest order would keep us away from the Lutheran Church in Northcote on a Sunday morning. And it was always an ordeal for me. Goodness knows, I tried my best to understand what the minister was talking about, but as usual, I had no idea what he was saying. His very voice sent chills up my spine. I couldn’t understand why. When he came to visit, I wasn’t the least bit frightened of him, but everything changed when he came swooping down past our pew leading the choir. Once the minister lumbered up to the pulpit, he paused, scanned the entire church, and I was absolutely sure when his eyes lit on me, he knew I was scared out of my wits. I wondered if my fright had something to do with his flowing robes, since my brother Emerson whose imagination was many notches above mine, said they
would end, and the teacher would begin the lesson, which had everything to do with being a better person. Well, praying was no ordeal for me. Not only did we say our prayers kneeling at Mother’s knee before we went to bed, I had long ago developed the habit of praying for just about anything I wanted, from new white ankle socks with lace around them, to praying for bad Marguirite to move to some foreign country. I even prayed my red hair would turn black, and that one morning I would wake up and every last freckle would have vanished through the night. And on she would go. And she always seemed to know when the last hymn was being sung upstairs, because she would tell us to bow our heads for the closing prayer. Each of us would be given a little folded piece of shiny paper with a story printed inside, and always there was a picture of Jesus on the front page, which I loved, and which was far different from the one hanging in the church upstairs.
MARY COOK
Memories reminded him of a huge black vulture getting ready to swoop down on us. His voice thundered through the church, and his face got redder and redder. But I had to pay attention, because soon he would send us children off to Sunday School. And the woman who taught us, it was rumoured, could recite the bible cover to cover, and she would be waiting for us, with her arms folded that she reminded me of a praying mantis. She would ask us what the message was from the minister. And of course, I would have no idea. I would purposely go into a coughing fit in the hope she would bypass me and go onto one of the other poor souls waiting to be grilled on what it meant to be a Christian. Thankfully the questions

That day I was very quiet on the way home, as I tried to figure out why Sunday church was so different from the days when we went to church for the strawberry social, the Christmas concert, the pot-luck suppers, and the once-a-year lawn social when we ran races, played ball, and ate home-made ice cream. And I decided, maybe I wasn’t a very nice person. Maybe no amount of praying would make me any better. And even though I had no idea what Father meant when he said it, but I wondered if that was my fate. When someone did something just a bit off centre, or the news in the paper was doom and gloom, he would say, “the world is going straight to Hell in a basket.” I wondered. Would that too be my fate?

OMB reform will give more weight to municipal planning decisions SPRING SALES EVENT Local Planning Appeal Tribunal to be created BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Councillors will have to get better at deal making if the package of reforms to the land use planning appeal system at the provincial level goes through, said College Coun. Rick Chiarelli. “We have to be more creative without the guillotine of the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) there to focus us,” he said. “Councillors won’t be able to vote against something they know will be overturned at the OMB just to get applause.” The proposed reform, announced May 16, by Attorney General Yasir Naqvi, will be a more streamlined approach that lends a hand to residents and places more importance on planning decisions by the municipal government. The Ontario Municipal Board would be replaced with the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. The reform would also eliminate lengthy and costly “de novo” hearings for the majority of planning appeals. The term de novo describes the practice of considering land use appeals as though no decision had been made previously. Mayor Jim Watson, who was minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs from 2007 to 2010, said reform of the process has been a long time coming. “When I was minister, I would sign official plans and often times before the ink was dry there’d be an appeal,” he said, adding that pretty much every “ask” the city had for the reform is included in the government's proposal. "One of the things is the effort on the part of the province is more density around transit oriented development, as a result of billions of dollars of investment,” Naqvi said. “Developments would be protected or shielded to protect density around those zones, as opposed to get into the kinds of disputes we often see at the OMB.” Sheila Perry, president of the Federation of Community Associations, said the change is a good-news story. “To make a challenge to the OMB is quite daunting,” she said. “You have to have a planner and a lawyer, which is no small expense for a community association.” While most people were in favour of the move to a tribunal system that’s less adversarial, Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said he saw one red flag.
The package of reforms includes a piece that would prohibit appeals of development within 500 metres of a major transit station. Transit-oriented development would essentially be insulated. Naqvi said that’s because transit receives investment from all levels of government and the province wants to ensure success by promoting intensification around transit centres. Without a revised community design plan for Kitchissippi, Leiper said he worries the area will become the “wild west.” The most recent example is the approval of a 22-storey building on Scott Street, at the former Trailhead site. “I know that the height in the current community design plan wasn’t going to go ahead, but we could have come up with something that is a better transition,” Leiper said. But overall, Leiper said, the changes will be good new for residents, and keep land use decisions in the hands of the people who have to live with the decisions. “There’s definitely more responsibility on the part of councillors to ensure good planning decisions,” he said.

Community Spirit Floods have devastated our community. But despite this, spirits is high. Volunteer support has been amazing. Hundreds of people have volunteered to fill, deliver, and place sand bags around homes. Many have volunteered trucks and trailers. Hot meals have been prepared and delivered to homes by volunteers also. It is moving to see such neighbourly generosity and cooperation.

Happenings coming up Kanata Light Rail Transit Planning and Environmental Assessment Study Open House #1
Monday, June 5, 2017 Kanata Recreation Complex, Hall A, 100 Charlie Rogers Place, K2V 1A2 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. (presentation at 6:30 p.m.) OC Transpo routes: 92, 96, 167, 118 Parking is available The City of Ottawa has initiated this Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan to extend Light Rail Transit (LRT) from Moodie Drive to Kanata. This Planning and EA Study will define a corridor for the future expansion of the City’s LRT network to Kanata. Extending LRT to Kanata is identified in the Ultimate Network in the City’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The study will examine LRT corridor options for a broader area to the north and south of Highway 417. The outcome will be a Recommended Plan that identifies the LRT corridor, station locations, and supporting facilities, and determines an implementation strategy based on ridership and affordability. The EA portion of the study will be undertaken in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects. The City must consider alternative corridors and designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts. Information on the Kanata LRT Planning and EA Study is available at ottawa.ca/ KanataLRT or Ottawa.ca/kanatatlr. Comments received will be collected under TPAP, and with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or email the project manager below before the event.

Painter finds symbol of Canadiana in West Carleton BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com
West Carleton painter Patricia Smith thought there was something very Canadian about her latest subject – a Canadian flag planted in a beaver lodge. It was a scene she came across on Thomas A. Dolan Parkway between Torwood Drive and Dunrobin Road. “Just the patriotism of someone putting a Canada flag on a beaver lodge,” Smith said. “With this being the 150th birthday of Canada, it just felt right.” She had to paint it. The Embrun born artist Smith, 81, moved to Dunrobin in 1982. She has taken art programs at the Ottawa Technical High School, Algonquin College, the Visual Arts Centre in Nepean, Ottawa School of Art, the Mary Schneider School of Fine Arts and University of Ottawa. Her work has been in several exhibitions from 1986 to 2014 earning her several awards along the way. But this
piece, is a bit personal for her. “That flag has been there for five years,” she said. “I’ve been trying to find out who put it there for all of those five years. I just found out awhile ago.” It was on a trip to Younghusband General Store nearby on the Dunrobin Road she found out the flag was planted by former West Carleton mayor and decorated World War Two veteran Dr. Roland Armitage. “The inspiration was his,” she said. “I call it The Word is Patriotic. I’m French, so the way I express things might have a little twist.
There is something like that with Roly. He seems to be so for the country. He’s a great gentleman.” Smith, who lives just down the road from her friend Armitage on Torwood Drive, remembers her first meeting with him. “I remember one year a few years back there was a turtle on the road,” Smith said. “Me and my granddaughter were trying to move it off the road, but it was a snapping turtle. This car came up the road, stopped and a man got out and kicked the turtle off the road. He said, ‘don’t worry, I’m a vet, I
know what I’m doing. It was Roly.” Smith works with several mediums. She does watercolour, lace work and beading. But says watercolour is her personal favourite. “I stuck to it because I like the finish,” she said. She has enjoyed the arts since she was a child and credits her mother. “I think it’s my mom,” Smith said. “When she had time and paper, which was hard to come by back then, she would draw things. Flowers, animals, it was fun. It keeps you busy. It keeps your hands busy.”

My mortgage is up for renewal this summer. I will more than likely switch to a different lender. Would I need to use a lawyer to finalize my new mortgage? While some banks and mortgage companies require that their clients retain a lawyer to finalize mortgage refinancing transactions, it is now very common that some lending institutions would either finalize it themselves or use mortgage processing companies. Nevertheless, most lenders would still give you an option of retaining your own lawyer to finalize the transaction. Jake Davies/Metroland

Your lawyer will help you to review and understand complex mortgage documents, such as the registered charge on title to your property, mortgage disclosure statement and standard mortgage terms, and will explain to you your rights and obligations under the mortgage.

been paid off many years ago, but have never been discharged by the bank. Your lawyer will also go through with you, the mortgage discharge statement to ensure that the payout amount to discharge your old mortgage is correct. Finally, your lawyer will make sure that the terms on the mortgage registered on title are the same terms you have negotiated with your lender. It is not rare that long after getting a mortgage some people discover that the amount of a mortgage registered on title is much higher than the actual amount of the mortgage they received from the lender. This negatively affects their chance of getting a second mortgage or adding a secured line of credit from a different lender. Are you buying or selling your home this summer?

Canadian Space Services in Doors Open Ottawa BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
The Canadian Space Services facility on Craig’s Side Road at Carp will be one of five buildings in Carp participating in the 15th annual Doors Open Ottawa event on the weekend of June 3/4. This Canadian Space Services training facility is a former NATO satellite communications site which Canadian Space Services now operates as an employee training site along with a business office, warehouse and workshop. This Canadian Space Services facility at 2336 Craig’s Side Rd., off Carp Road, will be open to the public for the Doors Open Ottawa event on Sunday, June 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. NATO and the Canadian Department of National Defense built this facility as a satellite communications station in 1960. A 68-foot diameter metal space frame radar dome on the roof provides environmental protection for the 50-foot diameter satellite communications antenna which it houses. This antenna provided satellite communications with all NATO countries until 1999 when the facility was sold to Canadian Space Services. The facility, which sits on 4.9 acres of land, is now headquarters for Canadian Space Services Ltd., CSS Wind Inc. and Rocky Mountain Equipment Ltd. Canadian Space Services, which was founded in 1970, serves the defence, air traffic control and weather radar sectors. Canadian Space Services manages radome projects including both in-

Radomes are electronic antenna enclosures, made of either rigid selfsupporting materials or air-inflated flexible fabrics. Radomes are used to enclose radar systems and satellite communications antennas. This Canadian Space Services facility is only one of several unique structures in Carp that will be part of the Doors Open Ottawa event. The Carleton Masonic Lodge 465 at 3704 Carp Rd. will be open to the public as part of Doors Open Ottawa on Saturday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This building has been home to the
SAVE UP TO $18,000 ARNPRIOR CHRYSLER
Masonic lodge since 1925. An earlier lodge, built in 1904, was destroyed by fire in 1920. The building features stained glass windows thanks to its earlier existence as a Presbyterian church. Its interior features include oak furniture used by a military Masonic lodge in France during World War One. The familiar Exhibit Hall at the Carp fairgrounds will also be part of this year’s Door Open Ottawa event. Located at 3790 Carp Rd. on the Carp fairgrounds, Carp Exhibit Hall will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 3. This is the same time as the Carp Farmers’ Market is in opera-
tion, so you could combine viewing the exhibit hall with browsing around at the Carp Farmers’ Market. The Exhibit Hall is a red painted frame building with white trim. It is one of the few remaining octagonal fairgrounds buildings still in use even though they used to be popular across Ontario. No visit to Carp, of course, is complete without a visit to the Diefenbunker, which terms itself “Canada’s Cold War Museum.” Located at 3929 Carp Rd., the Diefenbunker will be open for viewing on Saturday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday, June 4 from 10

The Ottawa Fire Services Station 84 at 3449 Old Almonte Rd. at Corkery will also be open as part of this year’s Doors Open Ottawa event on Saturday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. St. Mary’s Anglican Church at 2574 Sixth Line Rd. at Dunrobin will be part of this year’s Doors Open Ottawa event. It will be open to the public on Saturday, June 3 from 12 noon to 4 p.m. and again on Sunday, June 4 from 12 noon to 4 p.m. This present-day St. Mary’s was built in 1909 after the Old St. Mary’s at Pinhey’s Point which was built in 1827 was deemed structurally unsafe. May of the church’s pews and interior fixtures are from the Old St. Mary’s Church which was one of the first Anglican churches in the area. The Pinhey’s Point Historic Site at 270 Pinhey’s Point Rd. at Dunrobin will also be part of this year’s Doors Open Ottawa event. It will be open for visitors on Saturday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and again on Sunday, June 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Pinhey’s Point Historic Site was built in four stages from 1820 to 1849. The Georgian-style house maintains many of its original features including an imposing entrance and staircase, servants’ quarters and 1860s wallpaper. Doors Open Ottawa is a free annual architectural event that celebrates the community’s built heritage. It provides visitors with an opportunity explore the interior of buildings that are not necessarily always open to the public. This year over 150 buildings across the City of Ottawa are participating in the Doors Open Ottawa event. It is expected that over 80,000 people will take advantage of this event to visit a building or buildings involved with the event.
The Huntley Township Historical Society is moving toward a new strategic plan. A recent meeting of the board of directors facilitated by Olga Zeale from Archives Ottawa resulted in coming up with 10 objectives for the society’s planned, revised and updated strategic plan. A society committee has now been formed to use these objectives in coming up with the new strategic plan. Others attending the meeting besides historical society directors included Stuart Clarkson of Archives Ottawa, volunteer Hannah Cox, Barbara Bottriell of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society, and Lori Fielding of the Carp branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Five of the objectives developed at the meeting were communications to society members and to members of the public; collecting local histories; digitizing the society’s collections for preservation and access; improving the society’s collections mandate; and improving outreached to schools as well as to the general public. It is felt that these objectives, if attained, will help the Huntley Township Historical Society be a more viable and vibrant organization in the community.

The stars come out in Carp BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com
It was a late-night party full of the world’s biggest stars. The Ottawa Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada hosted its first public star party of 2017 on Friday, May 19. The free event allowed the general public to come the Carp library parking lot starting at sunset, and get a view of the stars up close and personal. “It’s very family friendly,” club member Mike Moghadam said on the chilly evening. “It’s really cool to watch kids see Saturn for the first time through a powerful telescope.” Moghadam said about 150 people showed up to get the opportunity to view the stars through around 10 telescopes of varying sizes set up in the dark parking lot. One of the telescopes, estimated in the dark, appeared to be about 12feet tall and needed to be transported in a trailer. Those who took a peek, could see the rings of Saturn fairly clearly. For more information on upcoming star parties, visit the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada’s website at Ottawa.rasc.ca.

MPP MacLaren saddened by rejection of bill about doctors BY JESSICA CUNHA
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren says Conservatives anticipated a private member’s bill to allow doctors to opt out of referring patients for medically assisted death would be struck down May 18. “I think it’s a sad thing,” he said the day after Tory MPP Jeff Yurek introduced Bill 129 at Queen’s Park. “It would have given doctors the option to opt out for conscientious reasons.” The current legislation allows doctors to reject requests to provide medically assisted dying, but they are required to refer patients to another health care provider or face discipline from the regulatory college. The bill would have amended the legislation so doctors aren’t required to indirectly participate in assisted death if it violates their conscience or religious beliefs. “The Liberals had told us ahead of time they would not support it so we anticipated it would be voted down,” said MacLaren. The MPP said he’s concerned doctors will leave Ontario to work elsewhere or retire early to avoid participating in medically assisted death. “Ontario is the only jurisdiction in the world with this type of policy that disciplines their health care providers for choosing not to participate in medical assistance in dying,” said Yurek, MPP for Elgin-Middlesex-London, during the debate at Queen’s Park. “Oregon, Alberta, B.C., Europe all ensure
conscience protection. Yesterday, Manitoba introduced legislation to protect the conscience rights of health care providers in that province.” Dr. Rachel Forman, an obstetrician and gynaecologist as well as spokesperson and board of director for the Ontario Medical Association, supported Yurek’s bill and spoke during a video news conference posted online on May 3. “Medical assistance in dying is a challenging issue for the medical community as it is for society,” she said, adding that she hoped all MPPs would vote in favour of the bill. “This is too important an issue to be left as a grey area.” The Tories tried earlier to pass amendments to the Medical Assistance in Dying policy. “We’ve had two shots at making amendments,” said MacLaren adding if the Conservatives come into power after the next election the party will then amend the bill. “Clearly that is the position of our party.” MacLaren’s office has received around 450 emails, phone calls and petitions “strongly objecting to the idea (of) doctors being required to participate or refer patients to other doctors who would do it,” he said, adding he’s only heard from about two to four doctors themselves. “Most doctors are willing to go along with medical assistance in death; there’s no shortage of doctors willing to participate so we don’t see that as a problem at all,” said MacLaren. “We don’t object to the idea that a patient or a doctor would be involved … It’s the patients' right to make that choice and it’s the doctors' right to choose to help the patient.”

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 Prove yourself with actions instead of words, Aries. Your productivity will not speak for itself, so you may need to do some self-promotion to get the word out.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you know what needs to get done. Now it is just a matter of finding the time to accomplish everything. Simplify things by writing all of your tasks down.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Explaining a proposal may require some creative thinking, Sagittarius. Make a list of all the talking points and then narrow down your options this week.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your words will carry a lot of weight when you speak about a topic that is dear to your heart. Others might be inspired by your message, and you can recruit helpers.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You may have to explain your point of view over and over again before others see your way of thinking, Virgo. Don’t let this discourage you this week.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you tend to hold yourself to a very high standard because you always want to do your best the first time out of the gate. Others appreciate your dedication.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Do not get caught up in gossip and hearsay, Gemini. That can compromise your credibility at work and among friends. Stay focused on your responsibilities.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, once you are knee-deep in a project, you may not need to take frequent breaks. You’re ready to plow through to the finish line and reap the rewards of hard work.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, sometimes it seems as if you have a sixth sense, especially where finding good deals are concerned. You’re happy to be the shopper of the family.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 While you shouldn’t compare yourself to others too often, once in a while it can illustrate just how far you have come. Why not compare against the person you once were?
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, no matter which words come out of your mouth, others are compelled to listen when you speak. Recognize the impact your words can have on others.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, extreme focus on a subject can be a help or a hindrance. Remember to remain flexible in the next few days.

Gardening should be fun for those of all ages BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
For master gardener Judith Cox of Stittsville, gardening is “magic” and gardening should be fun. And so while her presentation to the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society on Tuesday, May 16 was entitled “Gardening with Children — With purple carrots, honey bees and magic,” her advice on the magic and enjoyment of gardening was focused not just on children but also on those of all ages. She wants people to have more enjoyment in their gardening, just like a child would have. And, for Judith, the magic in gardening is simple. You put something in the ground and a plant grows up. She said that this is magical for a child but then added “I find it magical myself.” Judith gave lots of ways to introduce children to gardening from making what she called a “fairy garden” to using a seed catalogue as a
colourful and informative resource that children can cut up to make a gardening collage. “They’re like a wonder book,” she said about seed catalogues which can be ordered online. Growing your own lettuce or celery or even pineapple from scraps, first in water and then in the soil when they develop roots, is another way of demonstrating the magic of gardening to children. And this can even be done with avocados, provided the water is changed every few days. For Judith, creating a “fairy garden” in a planter is a great way to interest a child in gardening. And while it’s termed a “fairy garden,” it can take on any theme, whether it be Minecraft, Xbox, or whatever. It is simply a matter of enhancing the plants in your “fairy garden” with what is interesting for a child. And for Judith, creating a “fairy garden” is not just for a child. If a child is making one, you should make one too. Why? “It’s fun” is Judith’s reason.

It’s also easy. Select your plants, decide on the accessories and pick a container, one that is preferably wide and shallow, giving lots of space while remaining relatively light to move around. Space the plants in the planter and then place the accessories, be they a little cottage house or some other attraction. Then add rocks, shiny glass or other features that you might find at the dollar store or at a garage sale. You could add a butterfly that is airborne thanks to a wire. This “fairy garden” is a way of introducing plant material and gardening to a child. Judith is a fan of heritage vegetables. She loves the taste of heritage tomatoes but advises that hybrid varieties may have to be used because of poor germination by heritage varieties. The problem is that hybrid varieties will not provide the same great taste. She is also a fan of purple carrots which she calls absolutely delicious, being sweet and tasty. And besides purple, there are also yellow and white carrots besides the traditional orange ones. She likes the yellow carrots as well, saying that they are like candy in your mouth. She laments that sometimes people take for

granted what a vegetable should look like. Yet even with carrots, there is variety in colour. She advised not to peel purple carrots but rather slice them and then roast them. The result? “They are beautiful,” she says. “They’re like little jewels.” Judith advocates letting some of your lettuce go to seed in the garden and then collecting that seed for next year’s garden. This is particularly doable with heritage lettuce varieties. Judith told about having a water feature in a garden. Such a feature can attract frogs, toads (great for getting rid of slugs), dragonflies (they eat mosquitoes), butterflies and honey bees. The lid of a garbage container placed upside down in the garden can serve as the home of a water feature, perhaps with some rocks added to accommodate some of the users. “It’s like a cool ecosystem in this one lid,” she says about such a water feature. Judith says that growing giant pumpkins can be fun but warns that they require a lot of work. She recommends, though, growing minipumpkins which are great for making pumpkin pies. Planting herbs in pots is another way of teaching a child about gardening. A child can learn how to pick herbs, how to touch them and how to eat them. Herbs are also great for providing scent in the garden, including in a “fairy garden.” Lavender, thyme, rosemary, mint and lemon balm all have different smells. Judith also recommends including sweet smells in a garden, such as roses. She says that a garden is a place which should be open to touching, tasting and smelling. She says that roses tend to get a bum rap because some that are sold are too tender for this area. She advocates planting hardy roses such as the Explorer Series or the new Canadian Artists Series. There’s even a variety that has no thorns on the stem, making it great when children are involved. Judith is not a fan of lilies due to the presence of the lily beetle but she likes day lilies which are not affected by the lily beetles, will grow in poor soil and produce beautiful flowers. She points out that if something is not growing well in the garden, then try something else. “There is no ‘wrong’ in the garden,” she says. “Follow your imagination” were the final words delivered in her presentation. Judith was the gardener at Saunders Farm at Munster for 15 years before deciding at the end of last season that it was time for a change. At Saunders Farm she created and tended its fairy garden for years, recognizing it as a valuable tool in drawing in and capturing the attention of children. Judith has now started her own garden consulting business to help homeowners who want to learn more about gardening in their own garden.

Last week I wrote about my experiences in Point Pelee National Park, one of the best places to see the spring migration of birds. Bird migration is heavily affected by weather conditions. South winds bring songbirds and when they cross large bodies of water overnight (most songbirds migrate at night because it is cooler, there is a lack of predators and headwinds are less likely) and it rains, the birds land on the nearest point of land. Those conditions are when Pelee is at its best. Of my three days at Pelee, only the last had warblers present in reasonable numbers. The next day I went to Rondeau Provincial Park, another spit on Lake Erie famous for spring migration. Although Rondeau is much larger than Pelee and has plenty of birds, relatively few birders visit it. Thus, when I walked along Bennett Road and encountered dozens of warblers in the trees bordering it, only around 20 other birders were present to share the experience. After leaving the Carolinian forests of southern Ontario, I travelled to Algonquin Park to photograph its wildflowers and stunning scenery for an upcoming book. Many of the songbirds that pass through Pelee and Rondeau end up in Algonquin, where they nest. Many more travel farther north to the vast boreal forest. Strong southwest winds and temperatures approaching 30 C greeted me on arrival. That night conditions changed dramatically; it rained and by dawn the temperature dropped to 3 C. The next morning, my good friend Rory MacKay and I travelled up the Arowhon Pines Road to look for birds, hoping there might be a fallout from the previous night. To our disappointment, the road was closed because high winds had blown down a tree that in falling had knocked down power lines across the road. Little were we to know that this would turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Instead we went to the Booth Rock Trail. Part of the trail lies on the old bed of the Ottawa, Arnprior, and Parry Sound Railway. Here, alders embrace the sides of the bed, and with water beyond them, it is often a good place for seeing birds.
Immediately, we knew it was going to be good birding. Warblers flitted all through the alders, most at eye level or lower. Chestnut-sided, black-throated, blue, blackburnian, and magnolia warblers were everywhere, and most were males in full breeding splendour. And most were only one to three metres away. After a mere two hours, 18 species of these stunning birds were tallied! The warblers were down low because that is where food was found. When sunny and warm, insects are plentiful up high in trees. But when it is really cold, as it was that morning, insects take shelter near the ground. As a result, views of the warblers were spectacular. It seemed only appropriate that after visiting the two best places in North America for seeing warblers in migration, it would be in my beloved Algonquin where I would have the best two hours of warbler-viewing of my life!
