Resident artist creates film on Diefenbunker BY JAKE DAVIES
jake.davies@metroland.com
Tonight (Thursday, July 20) the Diefenbunker will unveil a film about the Diefenbunker, in the Diefenbunker. Canadian Filmmaker Pixie Cram is the Diefenbunker Museum Artist in Residence for 2017. Her work, Emergency Broadcast, is a seven-minute, stop-motion production filmed entirely within the Diefenbunker. “I really wanted to explore the idea of what would happen in a fallout scenario,” Cram told West Carleton Review. “This project is a continuation of some of the themes I’ve worked on before. I wanted to do it with just the objects in the bunker. There’s something eerie about objects moving on their own.” Cram’s residency started in January with her pre-work which included research, selecting props and other pre-production work. She started filming in April with some assistance from fellow animator Tina Lemoine. In June, Cram began working on sound editing with the help of audio engineer Kevin Komaranski. “I took audio clips from the U.S. Civil Defense and CBC Emergency Broadcast archives,” Cram said. “In the event of the war, this is the actual audio that would have been used. Seventy per cent of the sound effects were created here with actual objects.” Cram, who lives in Centretown in Ottawa, was born near the end of the cold war era in the mid 1970s. Her work includes fiction, animation, documentary films and art installations. “Grew up in Ottawa and had

“I really wanted to explore the idea of what would happen in a fallout scenario.” - Canadian Filmmaker Pixe Cram always been fascinated with this place,” Cram said. “Being a filmmaker and visitor to the place, I saw the potential here. I always wanted to do a project here.” In fact, Cram had done some filming in the Diefenbunker before. “I wanted to use the blast tunnel entrance for a fictional film I was working on,” she said. “That scene was cut but I still wanted to work here and the residency was my entrance to it.” Cram says the museum staff made it easy for her to complete her task. “It was a delight to work here,” she said. “I can’t think of any other museum that would allow me to move objects around. “Sometimes tours would
come through and we would invite them in because we weren’t recording sound. It was fun.” That’s not to say there weren’t challenges. There was no budget and obtaining rights to the CBC’s sound archives was difficult.But Cram finished the project, is happy with the outcome and is set to debut the film tonight at Diefenbunker. The event starts at 7 p.m. where Cram will talk about her film and her career so far, accompanied with clips of some of her other work. Following the premiere of her film, Emergency Broadcast, those in attendance will be able to ask Cram questions. Following premiere night, Cram’s film will be on display in The Allard Gallery at the Diefenbunker for the next three months.

Galetta to host provincial championship BY JAKE DAVIES
jake.davies@metroland.com
The volunteers at Galetta Bowls are ready to welcome the province for the men’s senior triples provincial championship. Sixteen teams will face off on Donald MacHardy Green from July 31 to Aug. 2, fighting for two berths in to the national championship in Peterborough next month. Not only will Galetta be hosting, they will have two teams competing as well. David Jefferies, Rico Silvestro and John Stevenson will make up one team while John Wilson, Gerry Laporte and Greg Brown will make up the other. The club is focused on the championship, and it’s been a challenge. After years of dry summers, the green has got more water than it can handle during one of the wettest springs and summers on record. Volunteer superintendent Jefferies has been working hard to make sure the green is in tiptop shape. “Dave’s been battling all
spring and summer,” said his wife Sandra, who will be competing in Carleton Place in the senior women’s triples championship at the same time. “He’s had to be here every day.” “I’ve been here 20-some years,” Jefferies said. “It’s always been you don’t have enough water. This year it’s gotten too soggy.” But Jefferies is a member of the Greens Committee for Ontario for a reason. “When people come here, they are expecting good greens,” he said, joking. “So, I drilled about 1,500 holes and filled them with sand and that’s helped quite a bit.” This is the third time Galetta Bowls has hosted a provincial championship. The club has hosted mixed pairs and open triples in the past. Ontario is divided in to 16 districts and Galetta is in District 16 ,which has 11 clubs from Deep River to Iroquois and Ottawa to Brockville. Tuesday, July 11 was the playdown to qualify for provincials. It’s been a banner year for lawn bowling in Galetta. The
club, which has members from West Carleton and Arnprior, grew to 57 this year. “We picked up a bunch of new members this year,” volunteer and tournament organizer Jean McCarron said. Many of the current roster of members have been with the club since it was first established about 32 years ago. The field, was built by local farmer MacHardy. Jefferies says MacHardy was visiting Scotland and saw the sport being played there. When he came back to West Carleton he asked some of the residents if he built the greens, would anyone be interested in playing. MacHardy built three fields. “The grass was a couple of inches long,” Jefferies said. “You could heave the ball as hard as you wanted and you couldn’t get the ball all the way down. The turf has to be hard and firm.” The club has grown to eight rinks, and soon after MacHardy’s passing, the green was dedicated in his memory.

Perley Rideau veterans visit West Carleton Legion SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
The West Carleton Legion Branch 616 rolled out the red carpet for visitors from the Perley Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre in Ottawa on Saturday, July 8. A busload of veterans from the Perley Rideau were joined by other veterans from various conflicts at this annual event centred around an allveterans annual barbecue hosted by the West Carleton Branch 616 of the Royal Canadian Legion. At the event, the West Carleton Legion presented the Perley Rideau with a donation of $4,800 for the purchase of two pressure relief mattresses. In addition, the Snowy Owl Air Cadet Squadron and the Centurion
Sea Cats received a generous donation in appreciation of their participation in the West Carleton Legion’s poppy campaign and also in its Remembrance Day ceremony. The West Carleton Legion thanks the musical group “Forever Friends” for the wonderful entertainment provided at the event. The Branch also thanks the karaoke singers, the “616 Entertainer” floor show, the volunteers who made the visitors comfortable during their visit, Branch 616 president George Dolan and Sheila Dolan who created the delicious lunch and all of the others who turned out to enjoy this wonderful afternoon with veterans.

goes back to 1897 when the heirs of the late William G. Perley donated a family property on Wellington Street for care of persons who needed shelter and treatment over an extended period. When this Perley Home property was expropriated in 1912, a new facility was built on Alymer Avenue in Ottawa South. By 1941, the Perley’s capacity had grown to 95 beds and by the 1950s it had 215 beds. As a hospital, the Perley took on added responsibilities for physiotherapy and orthopedic rehabilitation. The Rideau Veterans Home (RVH) was built by the federal government as a temporary residence for the rehabilitation of service personnel returning home from the Second World War. It gradually grew into a 139-bed home for the aged. In 1988, the Perley Hospital was invited to submit a project plan to Veterans Affairs Canada to combine with the RVH and the Veterans Wing of the National Defence Medical Centre in a new 450-bed facility. Construction began in 1994 with financing being shared among Veterans Affairs Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Health, the Regional Municipality of Ottawa Carleton and a community fundraising campaign. The first residents moved into the new combined
facility in 1995. In 1997 the Ministry of Health designated the new facility as a long-term care home. The name was changed in 1999 to the Perley and Rideau Veterans’
Health Centre and the Health Centre was also allowed to solicit and receive donations, bequests, legacies and grants as a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency.

West wins Carleton-Kanata Green Party nomination BY JAKE DAVIES
“It’s a diverse riding,” he said. “A common misconception is we are a one-issue party and that’s very wrong.” When not working in law out of his Carp office or campaigning, he is often volunteering. He has given his time to Amnesty International, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, WWF-Canada and has chaired the Taste for Justice fundraiser. He also volunteered in Constance Bay, assisting with flood relief efforts after the recent, historic Ottawa River flood. “As the climate changes we’re going to be experiencing more problems like this and we’re going to have to adapt,” he said.

Andrew West is quickly becoming a political veteran in the West CarletonKanata area. The 42-year-old won the Green Party nomination for the newly formed Kanata-Carleton riding for the June 2018 provincial election on Tuesday, June 27. West was a provincial riding candidate in 2014 and also represented the Green Party in the 2015 federal election. West spoke with Metroland Media, July 14 following his nomination win. “It went really well,” West said. “We had a nice turnout. It was the same night as the Ottawa South Green nomination meeting. I got to connect with several people.” West said he’s already been speaking with people in the riding. “I’ve already been actively, actively campaigning and I continue to do that,” he said. “I am going to share how important the Green Party is. My example is British Columbia with three Green Party members in the legislature. And how they can hold the balance of power. That can happen here. It’s time to vote Green.” When asked about the issues affecting his riding, he says they are similar everywhere. “The issues I hear about are the same here as in all of Ontario,” West said. “The high cost of hydro, education. There’s a bit more concern with agriculture in West Carleton. West says he’s regularly

Andrew West is congratulated by Ron Servant, president of the Kanata--Carleton Green Party of Ontario Constituency Association, following his victory at the Kanata-Carleton riding nomination meeting held Tuesday, June, 27. in touch with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) to get a pulse on the industry. “I’m dedicated to putting myself in the shoes of farmers and understanding their issues,” he said. “Our party is the only provincial party to sign the Food and Water First Pledge.” The pledge, created by the David Suzuki Foundation and its allies in the farming and local food movements, is meant to help protect productive farmland. West, a graduate of the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law, is the Attorney General Critic for the Green Party of Ontario. His law degree includes a specialization in Environmental Law with extensive training in resolving disputes. His father was a landowner with agricultural interests, so West had an early introduction to the complexities of the industry. “It’s so complex, things the average person might not be aware of,” West said. “Where their food comes from, how it is produced and gets to the table. I’m grateful for the
OFA’s help and look forward to continuing to grow a strong relationship with the federation.” West says the riding is a combination of rural West Carleton and suburban Kanata and therefore has many diverse issues.

Imagine having to incur a 30% increase to your household expenses overnight. I image there aren’t many people who could afford a change like that, I certainly couldn’t. But this is the reality Kathleen Wynne is forcing on our small and medium sized businesses. On top of this increase the provincial government is adding new benefits that business owners aren’t prepared for. Making matters worse, business owners are being faced with employees who already make $15/hr expecting a raise in wages since they will soon only be making the minimum wage. From what several permanent committee members said, it appears that what the concerns raised by our business owners weren’t specific to Ottawa, but are in fact shared by business owners around the province. So why then is our Premier forcing this irresponsible decision on already overly stressed business owners?

Last week I attended the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs consultation on the new minimum wage bill. I heard from business owners from across eastern Ontario who told us what impact this new bill is going to have on them. They told us what I have been hearing ever since this bill was introduced, that this will be unaffordable.
I only wish I had the answer.

He also feels voters are going to have to adapt following recent political news affecting the riding. West mentions the turmoil in the Mississippi Mills-Carleton riding following the ejectiondeparture (depending on who you ask) of MPP Jack MacLaren from the Progressive Conservative party. “Many Conservatives left the party because of what they are calling a toxic environment,” West said. “My hope for them is they come and talk to me if they want to be a part of a really positive environment. I’m ready to talk to anyone.”

OPINION
Connected to your community
All workers deserve fair pay
M
inimum wage. Two words that are leading to a maximum amount of discussion these days. Should it go up to $15 as the provincial government is proposing or is this $3.60 per hour increase in wages an action that will cause distress and, some suggest, even cause bankruptcy for businesses. Some economists predict doom and gloom from this increase in the minimum wage. Others say that it will spur the economy. What, oh what are we to believe? It seems this decision should not be made on economic predictions as there are economists on both sides of the issue, putting forth what at face value appear to be valid and opposite suppositions. Rather, this is a decision that very much should be made in the context of our Canadian values. Canada is a country that prides itself on equality, fairness and acceptance. In so many situations, Canadians step forward and do (or try to do) what is right and fair and just. It’s part of our DNA. It’s why our society and country are so admired around the world. And so when we know that the prescribed so-called minimum wage is not adequate, we as Canadians should apply our principles of fair play and justice and equality
and do something about it. This is what the provincial government is proposing to do, but not without lots of pushback from the business community which seems to view “minimum wage” as the “maximum wage.” These businesses don’t want to pay a fair wage, just the lowest possible wage. They have been built on low minimum wages and any change will threaten their existence — or so they say. These are businesses that have absorbed increasing electricity rates and presumably will be benefitting from lower power rates beginning this summer. These are businesses that are always susceptible to rent or tax increases. All these varying costs are managed when they happen, either through increasing the charge for products or services or improved, more efficient management. So too can any wage increases. It’s time business stopped relying on this minimum wage crutch and started treating employees with fairness and equality, paying a fair wage for work provided. That’s the Canadian way. We do it in so many of our actions. It’s time we did it for the rate that we pay the workers on bottom rung of the economic ladder. They won’t be getting rich, but at least they will be closer to earning a living wage that is fair and just.
Public transit needs to be convenient and affordable
Y
et another highrise development, this one on Richmond Road, is gradually moving ahead. Yet again, the approval of the development is keyed to its closeness to light rail. We watch all these decisions, one after another, and we’re thinking: “I hope they know what they’re doing.” Because if they don’t … We all know the reasoning: Highdensity development near the LRT line will bring about a new Ottawa, one in which easy access to rapid transit will reduce people’s dependence on cars, thus creating a new, less polluted and less congested city. Many developments have been approved in recent years, based on this premise. And many of those developments are at a height greater than is customarily allowed. But it’s all for a good cause, planners and city councillors agree.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Let’s hope so. Because, if it isn’t, if the premise is wrong, we are stuck with a city full of tall buildings, blotting out the sunlight and casting shadows over streets clogged with even more cars. That’s not pleasant to contemplate, but it wouldn’t do us any harm to assume that the high-density promised land won’t come about automatically because tall buildings are allowed to sprout. A few things may need to be done. Some have suggested that restricting the number of parking spaces for the residents of the new buildings may Vice President & Regional Publisher Peter Bishop pbishop@metroland.com 613-283-3182

do the trick. But people are resourceful, none more so than those who are desperate to hang on to their automobiles. They will find ways to stash them somewhere. So that alone won’t work. A more productive approach would be to provide incentives for people to use that new public transit we are so expensively providing for them. One obvious way would be to make that public transit good. Putting gleaming new trains close to their tall homes should accomplish that (although it would be nice to think that the improvements could also be brought to those who live farther from the LRT lines). The mere existence of the LRT line is certainly an incentive but there are disincentives too. Cost would be one. While it is undeniably true that the cost of relying on transit is far less than the cost of owning and mainDISPLAY ADVERTISING: Leslie Osborne Arnprior / WC - 613-432-3655 leslie.osborne@metroland.com Christine Jarret Arnprior/WC - 613-432-3655 christine.jarrett@metroland.com Stephanie Jamieson - Renfrew - 613-432-3655 stephanie.jamieson@metroland.com Gisele Godin - Kanata - 613-221-6214 Mike Stoodley - Stittsville - 613-221-6231 Annie Davis - Ottawa West - 221-6217 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: Adrienne Barr - 613-432-3655 | 1-800-884-9195 Sharon Russell - 613-221-6228 THE DEADLINE FOR CLASSIFIED IS FRIDAY 4PM AND DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 9:30AM
taining a car, that fact may not be obvious to all. It may not be enough to offset the perceived convenience of using a car instead of public transit. There are two ways of attacking that. One is to make using a car less convenient. Traffic congestion alone accomplishes that. Making parking less available downtown can help as well, but not many city officials would be prepared to take the political rap for that. Plus, the shopping centres away from the centre of town offer ample parking and no one is going to take that away. If we really want the people in these new towers — and people in general — to make more use of public transit, we need to make public transit less expensive. That means not just holding a lid on fare increases but even lowering fares. Why not?

congestion and pollution, then it serves even the people who don’t use it, and deserves to be subsidized much more than it is now. Just putting up tall buildings is not the answer.

Letter: MacLaren being the consummate optimist Editor: Re: MacLaren excited about Trillium opportunity, chances In the interview with MPP Jack MacLaren, he mentions holding barn dances for six years and the recent one, where there were 250 people, and states that this "shows that people are excited about the party (Trillium) and constituents support my move." If nothing else, you have to give it to MacLaren as being the consummate optimist, salesperson and spin master all rolled into one. These dances have been held for years, as MacLaren states, and the same family members, friends of family, Maclaren supporters and the remnants of the Carleton County Landowners Association, an organization he was head of for years, all show up. Of the thousands of constituents, 250 family friends and former contacts hardly indicated great support. However, this has always been MacLaren's method of operation. For years when he was head of the Carleton County Landowners Association, he spearheaded a drive to sepa-
rate from the city. Victory was always just around the corner and we are all set to de-amalgamate. Except we weren't, support was in the single digits, and the much-touted landowners association had fewer then five hundred people who could legally vote. Undaunted, MacLaren moved on to another cause, that of Crown Land Patents, and the right of holders of these patents to supercede all other government laws and cases. The one court case in the Niagara Region was thrown out, but Maclaren is not deterred, and still shows up across the province and down in the Atlantic Provinces, preaching this same nonsense. When we see athletes who play past their prime, we feel badly because it is obvious that they should retire. Those who attend MacLaren's barn dances should feel the same way, and do the right thing, and take MacLaren aside and tell him it's over. Jeff Spooner Diamondview Rd. Kinburn, ON

De Guzman comes out of retirement for one last match BY JAKE DAVIES
jake.davies@metroland.com
Fury assistant coach and assistant general manager Julian de Guzman proved to some 6,600 fans he can still play. He proved to himself he doesn’t want to anymore. Canada’s most decorated soccer player came out of retirement to lace up the cleats for a friendly against the Montreal Impact, Wednesday, July 13. It was an opportunity for a player who loves the game to go out on his own terms after an injury-marred season last year. De Guzman gave up playing for coaching this year when he joined the Fury’s coaching staff. The 17-year playing ca-
reer of de Guzman came to a head when he was subbed on in the 58th minute to a heartfelt ovation from supporters while a highlight video encapsulated his career on the TD Place big screen. “It was fun until after the first two runs and then I got light-headed a little bit,” de Guzman said after the game. “I could feel all the bad things I’ve been putting into my body catch up with me over the past six months. Other than that, it was fun. It was great to have some touches on the ball and play at a decent level against the Impact, and also play at a level I’ve been busy training for the last six months, it’s been pretty intense.” The Fury lost 1-0 on an early
set-piece goal converted by the Impact’s Calum Mallace in the third minute. But, the score was overshadowed by the moment. A chance for fans to see Canada’s greatest player step on the pitch one last time. “Playing in that position for so many years and being reminded how many kilometres you run per game, 10 to 13 kilometres, it’s a no-joke position,” de Guzman said. “That’s something I will always cherish and every time I see a player play in that role means a lot to me to see how much energy they can give. It’s pretty much the engine of the team.” De Guzman took to the field wearing number 89 — the number of international caps
he has earned for Canada over 17 years. No other Canadian player has more caps. He said he thought about his first number (30), his La Liga number (22), his national number (6), and his Fury number (25), but all of those are worn by other Fury players and he wanted to respect that. For de Guzman, the game was not just a chance at closure, but an opportunity to shine light on his new role. “Being able to coach and watch things on the outside and being involved in that system today, it gives a good insight on what direction to give the playJake Davies/Metroland ers going forward and help the team grow and be more sound Fury assistant coach and general manager Julian De in the system,” he said. Guzman is hugged by Ramon Martin Del Campo following See FURY on Page 35

Kinburn actress committed to recovery, role reprisal BY JAKE DAVIES
jake.davies@metroland.com
When Megan Carty couldn’t make it to rehearsal from her hospital room, rehearsal came to here. Carty, a Kinburn resident who as recently as the end of last April was producing and acting at the TACTICS Festival, has spent the last several weeks in hospital recovering from the eating disorder anorexia. It’s been a 12-year battle she has decided to take to a new front recently. Carty enrolled in a nine-week in-patient treatment program with five other girls. She says she has been in treatment before as a younger child, but now at 24, this is her first time she has committed to in-patient treatment as an adult. “Theatre is the Number One priority in my life,” she told the West Carleton Review from her home in Kinburn. “Even as I was struggling with this I didn’t want to give up my projects. I let my director know what I was dealing with and they were so accommodating. We even had some rehearsal time in the hospital.” Carty is expecting to reprise her role in the thriller Burn playing at the Gladstone Theatre Aug. 24 through Aug. 26. The play received rave reviews when it debuted at the Avalon last November. Cue Penny Productions secured the rights to produce it for the upcoming run under the caveat it featured the original cast.
Carty’s old routine would be to keep quiet about her disease and work hard on her latest production. She started out being silent on her treatment, but thanks to her concerned cast mates, started opening up. “For the longest time I didn’t tell anyone,” she said. “I just kind of disappeared. Then I started telling people I was in the hospital. And finally I told them why. There can be a stigma attached with my disease, but everyone was so supportive. It just empowered me to work harder to get better.” Carty didn’t want to miss out on reprising her role, or miss out on working with the same cast again. “Those are the people I love to work with,” she said. “They were so spunky and positive. They are friends before cast mates. They said if Megan can’t come to rehearsal, we’ll go to her. It really helped because sometime when you are in treatment, you feel like you are missing out, but the cast brought the fun to me.” While the fun and excitement of working in theatre helps with the treatment, Carty had to make sure it didn’t overshadow her work to get healthy. “When I finally made the step and agreed to treatment, my partner said this is your most important role,” Carty said. “Things I had to put on the back burner will pay off down the road as you are able to focus more on those things (after treatment). I was always bad

for coming up with excuses as to why I couldn’t go in to treatment, but you get used to feeling a certain way and I didn’t know how crappy I was feeling until I entered treatment and was starting to feel better.” Carty says the first performance of Burn was a wonderful success. “We just go amazing feedback,” she said. “People were raving about it, the house was full. It was everything you could hope for.” The new production will be in a bigger venue, and playwright John Muggleton has rewritten the last 10 pages for the new performance. “So our task this summer is taking this play and re-working it so it will fin in a larger theatre,” Carty said. “It’s a thriller with twist after twist after twist. The last 10 pages are really different. “Even during the run, Muggleton was changing script and fiddling with it. He’s finally written an ending that he’s happy with.” Carty enjoys her role in the play. “Eve is the daughter of Paul, who has died,” Carty says of a plot point. “The other characters have never met me before until the funeral and Eve is not what she seems. It’s a very fun character to play. I drive the bust. At the end of the play, audience members have told me they hated my character. I would go ‘yes! That’s what I was aiming for.” For information on tickets, visit www.thegladstone.ca.

Brazilian Dietary Guidelines recommended SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Have you heard of the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population? Well, it deals with a healthy diet and serves as something of a food guide in Brazil. Dr. Barry Bruce of West Carleton recommends these Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population as a guide for a healthy diet and that’s what he told those attending the recent meeting of the Men’s Ministry in Fitzroy Harbour. These dietary guidelines from Brazil cover ten steps to a healthy diet as follows: Make natural or minimally processed foods the basis of your diet; use oils, fats, salt and sugar in small amounts when seasoning and cooking natural foods; limit consumption of processed foods; avoid consumption of ultraprocessed foods; eat regularly and carefully in appropriate environments and whenever possible in company; shop in places that offer a va-
riety of natural or minimally processed foods; develop, exercise and share cooking skills; plan your time to make food and eating important in your life; prefer places that serve freshly made meals; and be wary of food advertising and marketing. At the meeting, besides recommending this Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population, Dr. Bruce made a presentation on the human vascular system. He provided diagrams and information on arteries, veins, lymph channels and the heart, explaining what they all do and how they work together, what can go wrong and how we can prevent and fix problems, mostly by not smoking and getting exercise. Dr. Bruce’s presentation followed a breakfast meal which was prepared by Jake Guertin and Walter Veenstra. Charles Cheatley said “Grace” before the breakfast and Nick Sheppard and others cleaned up afterwards.
HerbFest at Waba Cottage Museum and Gardens Continued from page 15
It’s all happening on the eight-acre lakeside setting of the Waba Cottage Museum and Gardens. The event is being presented by the Ottawa Valley Herb Association in partnership with the township of McNab/Braeside. Admission will be $2 per person or $5 per family. The word “herb” is an abbreviation of the phrase “herbaceous plant.” Herbs can be used in a variety of ways including culinary, medici-
nal and spiritual applications. Their use spans centuries. Culinary herbs are used in small amounts to provide flavour to food. This includes herbs such as rosemary, sage and thyme. Some herbs have medicinal qualities. There are long established folk and cultural remedies that use herbs. Some examples include St. John’s wort, ginseng and echinacea. Herbs play an important role in some religions as well.

Sparky was the king of the cats in the old barn
S
parky was older than I was. And he ruled the roost as far as the cat population went at the farm. He was an orange colour, and one eye was green and the other blue. He certainly wasn’t much to look at. The barn cats, and there were many of them, could be held and cuddled. Not Sparky! If I tried to pick him up, he would go stiff as a board, snarl, and glare at me, and act like maiming me for life was a distinct possibility. So, I left him alone. The barn cats were never allowed in the house. Mother thought anything walking on four feet should be in the barn! I never knew where all the kittens came from. I thought everyone in Northcote had a pile of them, and I heard that some people, when the numbers grew, put them in a grist bag and threw them in the Bonnechere River. The very thought sent chills right through my body, and I was grateful none of our cats came to that end.
Garlic Festival
MARY COOK
That too, sent chills up my back. I didn’t know whether to root for the cat or the mouse, since I loved animals of every description. So if the cats survived on mice and milk, they sure flourished. I once tried to give them names, but so many of them looked alike that I gave up. Except for Sparky. For the longest time he was the only one in the barn who had different coloured eyes. On hot summer days, one of my favourite places was sitting on the cement platform that held the pump and often a barn cat would wander over, and I would take it on my lap, and my greatest joy was when it snuggled down and started to purr. Never in a hundred years could I do that with Sparky!
Some of the barn cats were black and white, and sometimes a grey striped kitten would appear, and occasionally, I would go into the barn and find a new batch of kittens huddled in the hay, and they would be the spitting image of Sparky. Once I found one new kitten that even had two different coloured eyes. I could never figure out how a new kitten could look like old Sparky. By way of explanation, my brother Everett would just say, “old Sparky’s been at it again” whatever that meant. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Sparky was as big as a small Collie dog, and he always looked like he had had a serious confrontation with some wild animal in the bush, which he frequented often. Sometimes he would be gone for days, and as soon as Father would Memories say “good riddance,” there Sparky would appear as large as life. That was when I first heard that a cat had nine lives. How anyone figured that out And it wasn’t unusual for someone like Two Mile Herman to bring was beyond me. Did someone stop to count them? I did know the a kitten to the Northcote School and try to talk someone into taking barn cats survived many close calls though.

The late Gil Read to these coaching accomplishments, Read also served as a member of Softball Canada’s Initiation Committee. He was Canada’s Team Leader at the 2003 International Softball Federation's Junior Women’s World Championship, at the 2003 Women’s Olympic Team qualifier and at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Read passed away suddenly in 2007. Caleb Keeshig capped an MVP performance, hurling a shutout in the championship game as CPI Classics from Oswego, N.Y., won the ninth annual Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament in Carp last year. Besides the CPI Classics from Oswego, N.Y., past winners of this tournament in Carp include six teams from Ontario and two from Quebec. These winners have been Kanata Storm in 2015, Micksburg Twins in 2014, Lake Simcoe Lightning in 2013, Toronto Gators in 2012, Quebec Seniors in 2011, Quyon Flyers in 2010, Ottawa Team Easton in 2009 and Ottawa Easton Thunder in 2008. The first ever Gil Read Memorial Tournament was played at Carlington Park in Ottawa in 2008. The second event was held at the same venue the following year. Rising costs prompted organizers to seek another location and in 2010 they settled on Carp.

Top fastpitch ball is coming to a diamond near you! In fact, it is coming to the Carp fairgrounds on the weekend of July 28-30. That’s when the tenth annual Gil Read Memorial Men’s Fastpitch Tournament is taking place. This is an open-class tournament which attracts top teams from not only the area, but from farther afield as well, including the United States. Last year’s tournament was won by the CPI Classics of Oswego, N.Y. Besides top flight ball on the diamond, the tournament will feature a beer garden with the self-proclaimed best burgers around. The tournament again this year is being held in support of the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. This foundation works to help less fortunate children compete in sports across the City of Ottawa. Kids that cannot afford, for example, skates to play hockey or shoulder pads for football are helped by the foundation so that they can play sports. The foundation’s mission is to promote, foster and increase access to amateur sport through the provisions of financial assistance and support to children ages five to 18 who might not otherwise be able to participate in amateur sport due to costs involved. This helps children participate in sports. The late Gil Read, a longtime coach in the Ottawa region, led three teams to the Canadian championship in 1993, 1995 and 1999. He also coached Team Ontario in golf, winning gold medals at the 1997, 2001 and 2005 Canada Summer Games. Gil was a member of Softball Ontario’s coaching committee from 1995 to 2002. He also served on Softball Canada’s coaching committee and was a Softball Canada Master Course Conductor from 1994 to 2006. In addition

Busy month of June for Carp 4H Club members SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
The Carp 4H Club has been very busy in the month of June! There were beef, horse, swine and rabbit meetings along with fundraising. Thank you to those who hosted the meetings and the leaders who made June such an educational month! The beef meeting hosted by Foster’s Feedlot in North Gower was an educational evening about the journey meat takes to get to the plate. Dwight showed 4H members the progression his animals make through out his several barns from the start to finishing barns. The extensive care put into the develop-
ment of his animals was quite evident as he explained how to recognize sick animals in such a large herd and ensure proper and healthy weight gains. The 4H members left his family farm with the knowledge of where beef animals go before the market and how to provide proper care in large herds. The 4H horse members were treated again this year with access to the RCMP breeding farm in Pakenham. The RCMP is very inclusive in allow-
ing 4H clubs inside their closed grounds to experience the intense and very professional lifestyle these horses go through to become the quality animals required for their job. This is always one of the Horse Club’s favourite meetings! The very first 4H pig meeting was held this June where members got to pick their projects for the year. All members draw ear tags to determine the order in which they will get to choose the pigs. Teeth were pulled at this meeting. Members also learned about needles and castration of the pigs. A 4H rabbit meeting teaching the proper techniques of handling and hygiene was com-
bined with this meeting. One of the highlights of the month for the Carp 4H Club was a successful fundraiser. A big thank you to the Richmond Fair Board for its co-operation in allowing the club to use the fairgrounds as the location of the bottle drive. The members put on quite a show for the residents of Richmond with some of the members dancing along the road side with neon signs advertising the drive and “Honk for 4H”! It definitely worked as the bottle drive was a huge success for the club and we would like to thank anyone who donated!

Trivia in underground vault at Diefenbunker SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
It was a trivia night where even the location itself was the subject of a couple of the trivia answers. And what a location! It was the Bank of Canada vault at the Diefenbunker in Carp, a cavernous underground space with thick concrete walls and four massive
interior pillars that was included as part of the Diefenbunker’s construction to be the home of Canada’s gold reserves during any nuclear conflict. It was never used for its intended purpose, just like the Diefenbunker itself never had to house government officials during a nuclear war. But on Saturday evening, July 15, this vault be-

Minister John Diefenbaker, who was in office when the Diefenbunker was built, had ever visited the site after its completion. It turns out that he never did since he was unhappy that his wife Olive would not be able to accompany him there if a nuclear war broke out. One of the questions was specific to the Bank of Canada vault, noting that it was built to hold 800 tonnes of gold. The question related to how much this gold would be worth today, with possible answers to the question ranging from $800 million to 36 billion dollars. There were questions about 1966 Oscar nominated movies and which one was directed by a Canadian (The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming by Norman Jewison was the answer), about Morse code, about streetcars in Ottawa, about the Canadian Bill of Rights of 1960 and more. The Bank of Canada vault at the Diefenbunker was built to shelter Canada’s gold reserves in the event of a nuclear war. That’s because up until 1973, the value of money in Canada depended on the government’s reserves of real gold held by the Bank of Canada. Although the vault could hold up to 800 tonnes of gold, no gold was ever relocated to the vault, even though preparations for doing so were begun during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Besides the main door to the vault, there is a smaller opening to the vault to the right of the entrance door, with two separate combinations needed to open it.

came the location for a trivia night. Since the Diefenbunker opened in the 1960s which was also the decade when fear of a nuclear war was highest, the trivia night had a focus on the 60s. In keeping with this sixties’ focus, the trivia night included 60 questions, delivered in four rounds of 15 questions each. And the questions were tied in with the 1960s, adding to the 60s theme of the evening. Five teams, some with appropriate Cold War names like “Cold Warriors” and “Avro Pilots,” took part in this trivia night which was held in the Bank of Canada vault. Five round tables with accompanying chairs were set up in the vault which is 75 feet underground. Other teams took the names “Harvey Wallbangers,” “Archie Bunkers” and “The Shady Crew.” Participants were led down three stairways and then along a hallway before entering through the massive open doorway leading to the vault. The entrance door, which is fixed in an open position, weighs an estimated 10 to 30 tonnes itself. When it was operational, it could only be opened by successfully negotiating four different combination locks. In this Bank of Canada vault, Theo Holownia served as the quizmaster, reading out the various questions which also appeared on a video screen. A number of the questions were multiple choice ones, with the various possible answers delivered by Theo. They did not appear on the screen. Questions ranged from those specifically about the Diefenbunker to ones about happenings and events in the 1960s. The opening question in the trivia night asked whether Prime

This opening would equalize the pressure inside the vault and outside the vault, a situation which was needed in order for the main door to be opened. By the 1970s, this area ceased to be the Bank of Canada vault as it came under the control of the military of Canadian Forces Base Carp. Under the military, it was used for various purposes such as a carpenter shop and as a dry storage room.

Seeking Farm Wife’s support before marriage proposal
H
e’s been preparing for this moment for months. Just as he does before a championship match, the professional fighter plans ahead by marking the date and moving backwards on the calendar. Sometimes he has weight to lose to drop him into the next class. He often has skills to work on, muscle to build, reflexes to sharpen. In this case our young man planned ahead by making two very important lunch
dates: one with his girlfriend’s mother, and one with her father. Perhaps the discipline of martial arts training has leaked over into other aspects of his life. I believe this is what is supposed to happen, if you’re doing it right. In any case, many people might be surprised to hear that he treated me to a meal at one of his favourite Thai restaurants, so that he could ask for my approval. He wanted to know he had my support before

about him. She too is a thinker. When he took me for lunch, I asked him where we should sit and he chose a chair directly opposite a poster of a Muay Thai fighter. “I’m sitting here,” he announced. “For strength!” I was pretty sure I knew what he had summoned me for, and I was happy to give my blessing. Her father probably gave him a bit more of a challenge. I’m sure he too is very approving of this young man for

his daughter but he isn’t about to ‘let her go’ without a test or two. Always discreet and polite, the young man just said that dinner with the old man went well. He was turning 28, and we usually celebrate birthdays as a family on the farm.

Live proposal celebration at the farm Continued from page 22
Unbeknownst to her, they had already been invited by him, and accepted. His brother, sister, mother and three close friends came from Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto to help fill our kitchen while he popped the question. Any concern that I might have had about my daughter finding out about this day beforehand melted away when I saw how excited she was to be surprising him. He gave an adequate performance of surprise, and then led
everyone into the kitchen. The Farmer took the young man aside as everyone gathered, whispering, “I’ll bet you’re more nervous now than you were for your toughest opponent in the ring!” The twenty of us lined the kitchen, and our hero stood in the middle. He is a civil engineer by trade but he is also a great speaker. Dressed in a crisp white shirt and walking shorts, he paced the floor as he addressed us. He thanked us for coming, and
for sharing his birthday this way. My eldest daughter smiled, familiar with our family tradition of giving a wee ‘speech’ on the occasion of your birthday. And then he was done. And still standing there. The room was silent. All you could hear was the puppy, whining in his crate, likely protesting his exclusion from the gathering. She stared at him, and her eyes glazed over. I wondered what she was thinking, watching him run his fingers through his hair and shift his weight

back and forth. (Later she told me she had had a horrific thought that maybe he was going to announce he was terminally ill. But that soon passed and she realized what he was doing.) She knew this day was coming, but she didn’t know he would be ‘taking a knee’ on this date. They had discussed marriage and looked at rings together. He chose wisely. The vintage style round diamond on a rose and white gold band suits our designer daughter to a T. There were tears all around as she kissed and hugged him and pulled him to his feet.

“Yes.” We popped two bottles of pink champagne and gave everyone a glass for a toast. There is no rush to set a date. They live together and are saving for a home. She is in no hurry. She has been waiting for this moment her whole life — since she was a little girl, dressed in a gold floor-length gown, watching Belle dance with her man on Beauty and the Beast.

Coach expects Madawaska’s jr. intersectional team to be poor hosts BY JAKE DAVIES
jake.davies@metroland.com
The Madawaska Golf Club is hosting this year’s junior intersectional competition and coach Daniel Guay expects his team to not be particularly hospitable. “Last year we would have won, but we didn’t have the mandatory girl on the team so we lost by two points due to penalty,” Guay told the West Carleton Review. “This year we have a very strong team. They’ve practiced hard, we’ve been able to play a couple of times together and we’ve worked on course management. My only concern is the course – it’s so wet.” Traditionally, during intersectional play at all levels, the team that comes second in their district has the responsibility of hosting the tournament the following year. Madawaska is no different from any Ottawa area golf course this year – there’s been too much rain.
Jake Davies/Metroland
West Carleton’s Curtis Proulx leads the Madawaska junior intersectional team with the lowest handicap on the squad. He already has a hole in one this year on the course. Guay says they might have to play lift, clean and place rules but he won’t decide until the day before the tournament which is scheduled for Sunday, July 23. Despite the weather issues, Guay hopes to host a challenging golf test.
“We want to make it exciting,” he said. “We don’t have a long course, so we’re going to make it target golf.” Intersectionals is divided in to eight divisions with Ottawa Valley district courses spread through those divisions. The divisions are ranked by skill
and lettered from A to H. Madawaska is in the H division along with the Canadian, Stonebridge and Larimac golf clubs. The winner of the division gets moved up to G division for next year. Each club has two teams of four and three spares. The two teams are divided by handicap with the four lowest handicaps making up one team and the second group made up of the four higher handicap players. One member from each team plays in a foursome made up of the four competing clubs. Following play, the member in each team with the lowest score earns his or her club four points, the second lowest score earns three points and so forth. The team with the most points accumulated from all groups will be the winner of the division. This year’s intersectional team is led by West Carleton Secondary School athlete of the year Curtis Proulx who has the lowest handicap on the team and already has a
hole in one at Madawaska this year. Twins Logan and Carter Verch and Nicolas Langford complete the foursome. The higher handicap team is made up of Greg McGuey, Connor Ogilvie, Thomas Bennett and Kamdyn Switzer. The spares are Ryan Behm, Grayden Fairfield and Mathiey Richard. The Madawaska Ladies Intersectional Team competed at the Metcalfe Golf Club on
Sunday, July 16 in Section F against Metcalfe, Eagle Creek and Prescott golf clubs. The team came in third place with 21 points, finishing behind Metcalfe (21) and Eagle Creek (35). This year’s ladies intersectional team includes Debbie McGuire, Joyce Quintal, Susan Wimperis, Marilyn Everett, Maureen Dunnigan, MaryJo Kelly, Pat Grainger and Alynne Miller.

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor (Bayshore Station to Heron Station) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study
The Project The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report for a Baseline Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility between Bayshore Station and Heron Station, in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08. 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 Confederation Line, the Southwest Transitway, the 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).
The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and documented in an Environmental Project Report prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The Environmental Project Report documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program. The Final Environmental Project Report for the Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor is now available for a 30-day public review period starting July 13, 2017. Please note that the Draft EPR has been available for public review during the Notice of Commencement phase, which began on May 18, 2017. The final EPR is available at the locations noted below during their regular business hours.

30 West Carleton Review - Thursday, July 20, 2017
Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton
Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Canada Summer Job Update Since the start of this spring’s flooding in West Carleton it was obvious that the clean-up operations would be substantial and more support would be needed. I communicated these concerns directly to the Honourable Minister Patty Hajdu, who subsequently approved an increase in funding through the Canada Summer Jobs Program. This funding increase is targeted to companies that are working on the recovery and reconstruction efforts. The targeted increase in funding will provide the opportunity for local companies to hire students who can work directly in the areas of our community that need it the most.
Parliamentary Tours with Queen’s Students I recently had the opportunity to show students from the Australian National University around Parliament Hill while they are in Canada taking a summer politics course at Queen’s University. As I brought them through the House of Commons, we shared great exchanges about the differences between Canadian and Australian government. Clearly we weren’t the only ones with the idea to visit the House – we encountered Minister Bardish Chagger and Mr. Erin O’Toole also leading tours. I was happy to answer all of the students’ questions and to engage in such stimulating discussion with this generation’s young leaders.
Trade Corridor Funding I was honoured to be on-hand at the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce as the Honourable Minister of Transport Marc Garneau announced the new National Trade Corridors Fund of $2.1 billion. In addition, the new Federal Infrastructure Bank will also invest at least $5 billion within the transportation trade routes. This comprehensive approach will ensure that the quality of trade infrastructure will be improved, which will help Canadian businesses compete and grow.

July 14th marks a special occasion for France as it celebrates the storming of the Bastille and the foundation of the Republic that it is today. I had the honour of celebrating this important day at the French Embassy with the newly appointed French ambassador, Mme. Kareen Rispal. It was great to see so many familiar faces, as we gathered to celebrate France’s incredible history of resilience and democracy.
August events at Diefenbunker SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
All through August at the Diefenbunker, as part of Archeology Month, top secret geocaches will be placed on the grounds above — ready to be found by geocaching enthusiasts. Free outdoor movie nights are being held at the Diefenbunker on Friday, Aug. 11 and Saturday, Aug. 12 at dusk. Each night will feature different movies, with the second night featuring family-friendly movies. A raffle for the best seat in the house, two couches right up front, will be held as people arrive. Concession snacks and drinks will be available for purchase. A murder mystery fundraiser is being held on Saturday, Aug. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Diefenbunker. And the title? None other than Murder at the Diefenbunker. This will be a night of murder, scandal and intrigue, set at the height of the Cold War, where you are inside the Diefenbunker. Someone is mysteriously murdered and a search over two levels of the bunker is launched to discover who did it, why and how. Cost for this murder mystery fundraiser is $40 per person. The Diefenbunker is a four-storey, 100,000 sq. ft underground bunker built between 1959 and 1961. During the Cold War, it was intended to house 535 Canadian government officials and military officers in the event of a nuclear war. It served as Canadian Forces Station Carp until 1994. Today, the Diefenbunker operates as a not-for-profit charitable museum, offering tours and programs. The Diefenbunker is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Adults cost $14 plus HST, while seniors are $13 plus HST. Students are $10 plus HST, while youth (ages six to 18 years) are $8 plus HST. Children aged five and under are free, as is the parking.
Council helping flood victims BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
As homeowners begin to contemplate rebuilding their homes damaged by flood waters this spring, city staff will be working on making the process easier. On July 12, council approved a review of the process for granting permits for the reconstruction of existing buildings and structures without the need for minor variances. More than 275 properties along the Ottawa River Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton were affected by flooding in May. While the city’s top planning boss, It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member Stephen Willis, said staff is making of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working flood reconstruction permit requests with you all.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, July 20, 2017 31
Two main types of peatlands: bogs and fens BY MICHAEL RUNTZ
To me, all habitats are equally fascinating. Whether it is a hardwood forest, cattail marsh or beaver pond, each has its own special ambience as well as unique flora and fauna. But if I had to pick one in which to make one last excursion, it would likely be a peatland. Peatlands are named after the soil they create. Peat is comprised of partially decomposed plant material and is usually dominated by sphagnum moss. Because the rate of growth of new sphagnum exceeds the rate of decomposition of dead sphagnum, a peatland grows thicker over time. And because the moss mat grows out over water,
the youngest part of the mat is afloat. There are two main types of peatlands: bogs and fens. While different criteria are used to differentiate them, they differ primarily in how nutrients arrive. True bogs have minerals delivered by rainfall while fens have theirs brought by streams and other types of groundwater. Recently I visited a fen on White Lake and a bog in Algonquin Park. Both habitats harboured orchids, with rose pogonia and grass pink being the two most common. Both of these orchids are pink and they share more than colour. As do all orchids, one of their three petals — the labellum — is modified as a

landing platform for insects. But in these species, that petal contains modified hairs that look like pollen-bearing stamens. This visual lure attract pollinators, usually bumble bees. In a pogonia, as the bee walks farther back into the flower, it unknowingly rubs against the real sex organs situated above it. Grass pink does things differently. Unusual in orchids, its landing platform is situated as the uppermost, not the lowermost, petal. And this petal is hinged. When a bee lands on the labellum, its weight makes the petal swing down, pinning the bee upside down in a winged coffin. The bee must squeeze out to freedom, in the process leaving behind pollen from a previous trip to another grass pink, and picking up a new load of pollen as it exits. Orchids aren’t the only reason I love peatlands. Nutrients are hard to find, so a number of plants get phosphorus and nitrogen by eating insects. Sundews catch insects with sticky leaf traps while Pitcher plants use pitfall leaf traps. Insects that climb into the latter’s leaf slide down into water where they drown and get digested by bacteria and enzymes released by the plant. When I was in the Algonquin bog, I photographed a fly larva that actually lives in Pitcher plant leaves and devours flies that drown in those traps! Peatlands are also home to special insects including elfin skimmers, whose 10-15-millimetre wingspan makes them the second smallest dragonfly in the world! The blue-gray males develop a pale covering over their bodies (pruinosity) while the yellow-and-black females look like wasps. Both fly at about knee-level so one has to
constantly look down as you walk. And there is another reason to keep looking down. One soon sinks on a floating mat, so standing still has its risks. Speaking from experience, one must never stand too long, agog in a bog! The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Don’t be too hasty to accept things at face value, Capricorn. Investigate a little further before you invest any of your time. And especially before you hand over any money.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may need to sort out a complicated relationship that has you trying to figure out who is friend who, if anyone, is foe. Play it carefully until you have all of the facts. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Sift through all of your financial matters and start to get your ducks in a row, Cancer. This is a prime time to take an assessment of your income and spending habits.

On the bowl From page 5
“If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have a bowling green,” Jefferies said. “We hadn’t even heard of lawn bowling at the time. Now that I have started, I can’t stop.” It’s a game for all ages, Jefferies says. The club has members as young as 8, right up to 87. McCarron is the oldest member and says she still loves the game. “You can be really competitive at a good age,” she said. “The seniors are really competitive because they have so much experience, they are at their peak.” McCarron says the club isn’t all about competition
though. “Most people bowl for the fun of it,” she said. “The social aspect of it. It’s a lot of fun. I told the club, when I can’t bowl anymore, I’m just going to come to heckle.” While a reception for the players in the provincial championship is planned for July 31, action on the green gets underway on Tuesday, Aug. 1. A brief opening ceremony will begin at 8 a.m. followed by tournament play at 8:30 a.m. Anyone interested in watching competitive lawn bowling is invited, free of charge, to come out to Donald MacHardy Green any time over the two days.
Fury coach leaves game on own terms From page 12
“Now, I can continue to coach and help the guys grow, and even myself grow as a coach and continue to make the team become more complete.” It also provided de Guzman the knowledge, at 36, he still has what it takes. “I know deep down inside if I really wanted to, I could still play, but I want to be here to help the game grow in this country,”
he said. Fury coach and general manager Paul Dalglish hoped to give his number one assistant a rough ride after the game. “I’d love to give him a hard time, but when you see him, he looks like he can still play, you can see the class,” the coach said. “Some of the things he did out there, you almost wish you could turn the clock back and put him back on the team. Time’s a thing that nobody, not even Julian de
Guzman, can fight. You know you could if you really wanted to, but when you feel like you do afterwards, you don’t really want to. I think he’s got closure now. He knows he could if he wanted to, but when you wake up at 36, and you chased some 18- or 19-year-old 50 yards downfield, it’s not a feeling that you want to have too many more times.” When de Guzman came to Ottawa last year, he just wanted to get some games in and keep in
form for the national team. “I was definitely overwhelmed with the recognition and truly thankful for the opportunity,” he said. “I love Ottawa and this city has a lot to offer to other Canadian professionals. I’m very thankful to this organization to allow me to be here. This is a celebration more than anything. I prefer this to sitting around and wishing could have, should have, would have; I’m living the dream.”

Foodgrains, farming and square dancing for 4H’ers SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
The West Carleton Community 4H Club is active and busy in the community this year. There are a number of specific clubs such as the Foodgrains Club, the Real Dirt on Farming Club and the Square Dancing Club. On June 24, eight members of the 4H Square Dancing Club performed for the crowd at the Kinburn Fun Day at Kinburn. Members who performed these dances included Trevor Smith, Kathryn Stanton, Delaney Hopper, Devon Dean, Shawn Paul, Nicole Gillan, Dylan Martin and Robyn Stanton. Among the dances they performed were “Chase the Lady,” “Duck for the Oyster” and “Dip and Dive.” Everyone had fun with this activity which was spearheaded by Delaney Hopper. The performance gave those watching an idea of what the 4H members were learning in this 4H Square Dancing Club. Members of the West Carleton Community Club are also at every drive-in bingo being held this summer at the Carp fairgrounds in Carp, selling milk in support of the Foodgrains initiative.
Not so fast. The role of your legal counsel is not to make something “legal”. You can (mostly) do that on your own, although you may not end up happy with the results. The role of legal counsel is to advise and counsel you through the transaction in the allocation of risks, the resolution of issues and the documentation of agreements. Although the documentation of agreements appears to be the “work product” of your legal counsel, it is the advisory and counsel role, and the resolution of issues, that forms much of the value-added work of your legal counsel. For example, as the vendor of a business (whether shares or assets), you will be expected by the purchaser to represent and warrant many statements of “fact” which if later turn out to be untrue, give rise to claims by the purchaser. The role of legal counsel includes advising you as to which statements of “fact” ought to be acceptable, which may be overreaching without

some qualification, and which may be inadvisable for you to accept at all, and to develop a strategy with you to respond to the purchaser’s demands. The resolution of issues includes identifying defects in title to shares or assets and determining how those defects may be remedied, the existence of security interests over the business or your interests and how those security interests are addressed such that the purchaser is willing to complete the purchase. Often there are third parties affected by the transaction that have to be considered, including obligations to landlords, employees and others. Your legal counsel should be able to assist you to understand what and why particular risks are usual or normal, negotiate solutions and to manage the process to achieve your desired outcome. Determination of the price is only a starting point.
