A community divided Frontrunner candidates comment on divisive campaign Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - It seems voters in West Carleton-March are stridently divided over the two candidates widely believed to be frontrunners in the municipal election. How do incumbent Eli El-Chantiry and challenger Jon Mark feel about the rising tensions? “I just hope we maintain a high level of support for each other, whoever wins,” El-Chantiry said. “We need to stay together and work together to get things done.” Mark isn’t fretting over the robust campaign in Ward 5, indicating that democracy demands candid conversations. “No matter what happens this is going to be good for West Carleton-March,” he said. “You are going to see more people at the polls. West Carleton-March will be a better place no matter what happens.” It will come as no surprise that both candidates say they are pleased with how their individual campaigns are going; Mark talks of hundreds of signs on private properties in the ward; El-Chantiry of 208 signs on Bayview Drive lawns alone; both report largely positive feedback at the door.

2 West Carleton Review - Thursday, October 16, 2014

Candidates rebut common criticisms Continued from front

On an inflammatory letter to the editor that spawned numerous counter responses, Mark distanced himself. It was on his website, but when he became aware - many days later - he had it removed. Also, when a photo of an El-Chantiry sign with the word “liar” spray painted across it was posted online, Mark quickly denounced the vandalism with a Facebook comment. Meanwhile, El-Chantiry is taking heat for this-term decisions that many in the ward see as, if not against their way of life, at least defying common sense. Specifically the green bins program and reducing garbage pick-up by half. Any councillor who fought the Carp dump expansion could not be seen to oppose diversion options like the green bin program, El-Chantiry said. And with the likelihood of clear bags coming next term, he said getting things done means finding places where sides can agree. As the old adage goes, politics is the art of the compromise. Bluster and intransigency leads

to roadblocks and public cynicism, he says. Mark is criticized for riding Jack MacLaren’s campaign machine. The property rights activist and Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP is an outspoken climate change denier, Agenda 21 opponent, and Crown patents advocate. Many reputable commentators consider the topics the focus of the paranoid fringe. Mark didn’t say if he is a proponent of these issues, but is proud to have a longtime West Carleton resident who is also the area’s provincial representative in his corner. After all, he campaigned for MacLaren and the Progressive Conservative party. “We don’t share a campaign, but I can say that I’ll work well with other levels of government,” Mark said. Perhaps the least tangible but most effective criticism of El-Chantiry is simply that he has been in the position long enough. Parties are usually voted out of power after eight to 10 years. Even if he did a good

However, there has been no shortage of criticism directed at each candidate. El-Chantiry has been called a puppet to Mayor Jim Watson, and a councillor who rarely finds himself on the losing end of a vote at city hall. That marks him part of the city hall insiders, which for constituents who oppose the status quo – as is true with many rural voters – means he is part of the problem. His response is that after a tumultuous term of council with Larry O’Brien at the helm, voters wanted stability, cooperation and movement on the major issues. And that’s what they got. He votes yes because he is involved in the plans. El-Chantiry also points to right-leaning councillors like Allan Hubley and Scott Moffat and says to look at their voting records. How often did they vote against Watson? “The last term of council was so dysfunctional. Now we are working together,” ElChantiry said. Mark is charged with having boorish supporters who try to intimidate centrist voters. He says he can’t be expected to Book by October 31st! speak for all his Early Booking Bonus Available. Save with us Today! supporters; that Barrhaven Town Centre he doesn’t always 613.825.4275 know where his 3777 Strandherd Drive, Barrhaven support is going www.travelplus.ca/1022 Reg. #50017529 to come from; Merivale Mall 613.226.1422 and that it isn’t 1642 Merivale Road, Nepean fair to assume www.travelplus.ca/1025 Reg. #2967742 he shares all the Hazeldean Mall 613.592.3450 views of all his 300 Eagleson Road, Kanata supporters. www.travelplus.ca/1023 Reg. #50013752

job in the past, isn’t it time to give someone else a shot? El-Chantiry said if a candidate comes along that he believes could do as good a job, that would be fair comment. But comparing his many years of volunteer work, three successful businesses and life in the community to someone who came a few short years ago, has little to no volunteer and business experience – that is not change he can believe in. “You say change for the sake of change. Okay, but change from what to what? This is not an easy job. I’m not saying nobody else can do it,” he said. “But I didn’t just walk in and

say I wanted to be councillor. I work very hard, and the more work I do the more responsibility I’m given. You know that. So, are we equal on business and community experience. I don’t think so. Is it time for change? You tell me.” Maybe Mark’s most difficult challenge to overcome has to do with the quality of issues raised. Few are complaining about taxes or potholes, the traditional issues that can sink an incumbent. Mark and his supporters bring up issues that affect few, such as D-5-5. In the absence of serious issues, opponents are left with minor stuff and personal attacks. To that, Mark rhymed off

But if that were all that mattered, democracy would stall. “We all have to start somewhere. I’m running for all the right reasons. I want to represent the people, all the people,” he said. “I’m very humble. I know I’ve got a lot to learn. But I want it for the right reasons.”

Eli

El-Chantiry CounCiLLoR waRd 5

Communication is Key During this last term, I have made great progress with effectively and efficiently communicating with Ward 5 residents by using many valuable tools: • If you need me, I’m there. I’m just a phone call away. Anyone is free to call my office to talk or can schedule a face-to-face meeting. I’ve even been known to jump in my car and personally visit anyone with an inquiry or concern. • My Councillor Column appears every week in the West Carleton EMC. • My monthly e-newsletter is another valuable tool used to keep residents in-the-know. • I use social media daily to communicate with residents. Whether it be a power outage, road closure or details on a community event, I’ve heard time and again from residents that they appreciate the “instant access” to this information. • I hosted Town Hall Meetings for Galetta, Dunrobin, Corkery and Fitzroy Harbour. Going into the next term, I will be continuing these meetings for other communities in Ward 5. • I have spearheaded numerous Community Association Presidents Meetings. These were scheduled to allow the CA Presidents to get together in one location to hear about the latest City initiatives as well as a forum to discuss their communities’ concerns. • Fridays are my “Ward Office Day” – where the door is always open and I either meet with residents in the office or do on-site visits throughout the community. • I have hosted and attended countless Open Houses for Village Plans and the Kanata North CDP. All of these meetings were engaging with the public. I attended them to hear what residents have to say and get their feedback. • Moving into the next term, I promise to continue working on new and interesting ways to engage with residents. Please vote on October 27 so that I can continue to represent you!

Candidates square off at ward 5 meeting Jessica Cunha

News - The Old Town Hall in March rural was standing room only during the all-candidates forum on Oct. 8. The meeting was more subdued than the previous debate in the Ward on Oct. 1, where there was heckling from the crowd and little control over long-winded questions. Certain queries – what the candidates would do for seniors and their stance on the Ministry of the Environment’s D-5-5 guidelines for single lot severances – were a repeat from the previous forum, but a number of new topics were raised. Erika Tar asked if the candidates would support a bylaw to allow backyard chickens. The group advocating for the cause would like to see it permitted throughout the whole city, but is focusing on rural wards. Incumbent Eli El-Chantiry said he doesn’t believe chickens should be housed in the urban area. He pointed to Vancouver, which has allowed backyard chickens, and the problems facing the city because the animals then become pets. “I believe chickens belong with enough agricultural land so the chickens can wander,” he said. The other four candidates – Brendan Gorman, Alexander Aronec, Jonathan Mark and James Parsons – all said they would support the bylaw for rural areas. “For West Carleton it seems to make a lot of sense, especially something that produces

food just seems like a no brainer to me,” said Gorman. “The City of Ottawa has a pigeon bylaw that allows 70 pigeons to be kept,” said Aronec. “So if we’re allowing 70 pigeons to be kept, why can’t we allow a bylaw (for) chickens to be kept? I’m all for food security.” Mark said he would take it a step further and study all the bylaws in the city that don’t make sense for rural wards. “One size does not fit all,” said Mark. “With all this talk about food security … I have a hard time believing we’re going to tell somebody not to have hens that lay fresh, wholesome, natural, nutritious, eggs.” Parsons said a “common sense approach” is needed. “If there’s a bylaw there it was put there for a reason,” he said. But if homeowners have the space, “why not have chickens? The flip of that is though, they’re developing areas on half acres, one-quarter acres so (a) no chicken bylaw makes sense. People don’t want to smell them and don’t want to hear them … but for the most part, in a rural setting a rural area, you should have chickens.” CARP DUMP

Olivia Nixon, member of the coalition of citizens groups fighting the expansion of the Carp dump, asked what the candidates would do about it and how they would ensure compensation of residents the new landfill would affect.

Parsons said Waste Management set up a committee with the west end city councillors and members of the public to make recommendations. “To mitigate the issues of the day that would come down to day-to-day operations,” said Parsons. “They are working towards an amenable situation as best as possible with the general public around the dump. If there are any direct issues with your water or the environment around your house, unfortunately you’re probably going to have to deal with that yourself with Waste Management.” El-Chantiry said the MOE ignored the conditions the city put forward when it approved the expansion. The city hasn’t yet accepted the zoning, he added, saying there are conditions that must be met. “Yes they got the approval (from the MOE), but the zoning has not been accepted by the city,” he said. “The fight is not over yet. We need to keep working together to make sure those conditions are met by Waste Management.” He said residents should write their local MPP to demand that the new dump also meet the 60 per cent diversion rate required by the city. “If you demand this from the municipality, you should demand this from the dump,” said El-Chantiry. Gorman said he’s not an expert on landfills but would work “with the experts and (listen) to their advice. I would also say that I believe it’s worth exploring ways of waste reduction like Plasco in terms of gasification.” The first thing Aronec would do is establish a baseline sample of well water over a number of years so there would be a history in the event that the groundwater became contaminated. “I’m going to work with you guys regarding the machinery, I’m going to work with you guys regarding the odour; I’m going to work with you guys regarding the truck traffic on Carp Road,” he said. “I’m going to make sure moving forward we have some kind of ICI (industrial, commercial and institutional waste) strategy in place.” See HYDRO, page 5

Hydro, Plasco and woodlot protection raised as issues Continued from page 4

Mark said the city needs longer-term plans in terms of its waste programs. He would create a citizens’ council to look at solutions other cities are using. “I would have hoped that we would have been in front of this a little bit more. We were kind of blindsided by the MOEs decision,” said Mark. “The green bin program was kind of designed to ease the pressure off our landfills; at best it was going to give us three extra years at Trail Road and that’s not a long-term plan.” PLASCO AND HYDRO

A male resident asked the candidates to ruminate on how they would reduce the cost of electricity and talk about Plasco and the plasma furnace. Aronec said he believes Plasco, which is working to create a plasma-gasification facility, has promise but wants to see how the facility would work. He added that buying hydro from Quebec – an alternative put forward – is only a 27-year band aid. Mark said Plasco is a concern after missing numerous deadlines, while Parsons added that he would set up a hydro commissionaire as an overseer, as well as work to see Hydro One and Hydro Ottawa become one entity within the city limits. El-Chantiry said once the city reaches the 60 per cent diversion rate – separating wet and dry garbage – then the city could apply for incineration. He added he would work to create one hydro entity for the city, which Gorman agreed with adding he would look at more ways to reduce waste. WOODLOT PROTECTION

Dunrobin’s Donna Dubreuil said the destruction of woodlots and illegal tree cutting is costing the taxpayers’ money in lawsuits. The most recent example is when Metcalfe

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

It was standing room only at an all-candidates debate March 8. Realty illegally cleared trees in the urban expansion area north of Kanata. Charges were laid against the developer. Dubreuil asked the candidates if they would support a stronger site alteration bylaw to prevent that kin+d of damage in the future. Gorman said he would work to build a consensus around the council table to pass a stronger bylaw, while Aronec added the city needs stronger regulations that are “straight to the point” and easy to understand. Mark said there needs to be a distinction between urban and rural. “In the rural areas, it’s different and I think it should be.” Parsons said tree clearing has to happen in the urban area. “You have to balance the planning with the resources you have. The roads the sewers the water the facilities have to be put in per the development.” El-Chantiry said the city “absolutely” needs stronger regulations. “Some of the greedy, and I repeat the greedy, developers, they know this is coming … unfortunately the fine is very minimal,” he said. “We should be more proactive.”

‘NOT A JOKE’

El-Chantiry said six veteran councillors wouldn’t be returning to the table this term, adding his experience as councillor and in dealing with the city’s $2.9 billion budget sets him above

the other candidates. “It’s not a joke,” he told the crowd. “I’d like to continue working together … Our work is not done around here.” Parsons said residents deserve better rural representation at the council table. “The sheer volume of red tape and regulations is just becoming too much,” he said. “I think we can simplify that and move forward.” Gorman said it’s time ward 5 saw a change in leadership for three reasons: letting the Orgaworld contract slip by, the delay in creating one hydro entity, and unreturned calls. “If I voted on something that got by me, I wouldn’t run again,” he told the crowd. Aronec said he delivers results. “I’m working towards improving city services for you guys; I want to bring value to your taxpayer dollars,” he said. “I want to be your willing partner.” Mark said change on council isn’t a bad thing. “It seems that we’re lacking in leadership in many respects in Ottawa,” he said. “We need a realistic long-term plan. Don’t listen to excuses.” A third all-candidates forum for the ward has been scheduled for Oct. 15 in Fitzroy Harbour. Election day is Oct. 27.

Clarification Candidate Jonathan Mark said he misspoke at an all candidates meeting, held Oct. 1. When discussing the city’s garbage issues, he meant to say, “we have composted since settlement.”

Little interest in trustees at all-candidates meeting jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Only one comment was directed towards the public school board trustee candidates for zone 1 at an all-candidates forum in Carp on Oct. 1. The meeting, which featured all ﬁve candidates for city council, drew three of the four vying for the public school trustee position – incumbent Lynn Johnson and challengers Todd Johnson and Sue Grant – while only one challenger for the Catholic board trustee position, Christine Pastien, was in attendance. The questioner, who didn’t state her name, said she attempted to contact each of the candidates for public school trustee for West Carleton-March, Stittsville and RideauGoulbourn. “I left Todd Johnson a voicemail requesting a call back; I did not hear back from you,” she said. “When I called Sue Grant, I got a phone call, an email with information and ideas were discussed. A connection with community was made … I sensed her capabilities. “When I called Lynn Scott, I was acknowledged but no support was offered – no follow-up, no understanding – just dead air. I want a trustee who engages his or her community,” she continued. “Lynn, on your website, you have not updated it since the last election … Why should we vote for you when you have not done your job? Why do you expect the honour and responsibility of families when you’re approach is from the board’s perspective?” Scott said her husband, who passed away two years ago, managed her website. “The new website I have will be kept current, that I can assure you,” she said. “In terms of looking at individual issues versus just doing policy and procedure, I believe that the best advocate for any situation is the person who has the problem. I can inﬂuence to some extent, but my best route is to help you have a strong voice for yourself.” Johnson said he never received the message but would love to chat about any issues. Each trustee candidate gave opening and closing statements. The following are excerpts in the order they spoke. TODD JOHNSON

Johnson has worked in educational administration for six years and educational policy for eight years. “I have the skills and experience needed to make a meaningful contribution as a trustee. I live educa-

tion,” said the Manotick resident. “I have a personal stake in seeing that the education system gives our kids the skills and competencies to succeed in the 21st century knowledgebased economy.” The husband and father of two children has volunteered as a soccer coach, scout leader, United Way canvasser, and in a number of union positions, and has a masters in business administration. “I want to see all our kids get the best education possible,” he said. “I believe that we all need an opportunity to make our communities a better place, our province a better place, our country a better place, make our world a better place, a place of peace and prosperity and I believe that education is the key to achieving this goal.”

and experience matter a lot in a board where at least half the trustees will be new to the job. Getting real improvements and changes in a large organization takes time and leadership,” she said. She said she will continue to focus on good teaching, high-quality programs and services, and parent and community involvement. “I believe in developing policies and making decisions based on facts and community input, but if putting students ﬁrst means choosing what’s right instead of what’s popular, I’m not afraid to make that choice,” said Scott. “With a tight budget we need to target our resources strategically, focus on methods that are proven to work and think ahead to the skills that our students will need in 2028 and beyond.”

LYNN SCOTT SUE GRANT

Scott, who lives in West Carleton, has served as trustee for zone 1 for 20 years. She said her experience in the position, as well as having served as board chair, vice-chair, and chair of numerous other committees for the public school board, makes her the best choice. “Make no mistake, knowledge

Grant, who lives in Carp, said she was ﬁrst approached three years ago to run as trustee. “I’m passionate about our right and responsibility to provide quality education to all of our children,” said the wife and mother of two. “I’m invested in this community and I’m

invested in the public school system for a few years to come.” Grant said she’s concerned about sinking math scores and would support employing more specialized math teachers. She would also create a forum for zone 1 school councils to exchange ideas and information, and has a passion for students with learning difﬁculties and wants to provide more support. “The present trustee has become so focused on policy and procedure that she’s lost sight of the people. Policies should be leveraged to get something done and not used as an excuse to do nothing,” she said. “I’ve seen the evolution in our schools; we need to see that evolution in our board of trustees as well. Twenty years is just too long. You have to ask yourself, when does experience become entitlement? I think we deserve better. It’s time for fresh ideas, a new vision, and an era of communication, community and collaboration.” Public board candidate Andrea Ingham did not attend.

position for the Ottawa Catholic school board. She said she’s less a politician and more an advocate. She said talk of a merger between the school boards has her concerned. “It was just enough to get me motivated,” said Pastien. “I really want the two school boards to work together but I’m concerned about losing the ﬂavour of one or the other in a merger. I’m concerned even about the bus merger; I’m concerned that there would be higher costs to overhead and fuel.” Pastien works for the federal government in project management, advising on and reviewing costs. “I try to not get into too much trouble, but I’m a person who tends to stir the water a little bit,” she said. Incumbent John Curry and challengers Ken Gordon and Martin Tate did not attend.

EDITORIAL

Time for straight trash talk

s the municipal election campaign has worn on, the more green bins have become one of the most debated issues across the city. A number of candidates, both for council and mayor, have tapped into widespread resentment of the green bin program, which is seen by critics as a costly inconvenience. Many complain the reduction in garbage pickup from once a week to once every other week has led to reeking piles of maggot-infested refuse in garages and back alleys. On top of this, the city auditor revealed earlier this year that the contract with Orgaworld, the company hired to process the organic waste collected in green bins, has resulted in the city paying a great deal more than it should for the program. Yet the candidates pledging to scrap the green bin program and bring back weekly garbage pickup have some more explaining to do. They need to tell voters how they plan to break the contract with Orgaworld without costing the city millions, as was the case when Ottawa paid out nearly $37 million

after cancelling the original light rail plan. Piling waste on top of more waste is no solution. Those candidates will also need to explain how we can continue sending garbage to the dump when plans to expand the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landfill sites are met with stiff opposition from neighbouring residents. Is the idea to force misery on select rural residents in order to spare urban residents from the stench? Those candidates pledging to ditch the green bin program need to be frank with voters. There will be more costs involved with the cancellation. It will not be a free, easy fix. The green bin program was never meant to entirely halt landfill expansion, only to slow the pace of expansion, thereby saving money for the city. That city staffers failed to ensure the city got a good deal with Orgaworld doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean organics collection is a bad idea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many other cities in Ontario have similar plans. Voters are, of course, free to make their own choices. They should only do so knowing the true cost of that decision.

rances Itani has been shortlisted for the Giller Prize and Christopher Levenson has been shortlisted for the Governor Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Literary Award, two Ottawa writers joining a long list of local authors who have been honoured in the last couple of decades. (To be absolutely precise, Levenson moved to Victoria a few years ago, but only after a long spell teaching at Carleton University and being at the core of the local poetry scene, so we still count him as ours.) Itaniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new novel, Tell, is set in Deseronto and picks up where her powerful First World War novel Deafening leaves off. Deafening, published in 2003, was shortlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Award. Levenson was honoured for

Night Moves, his eleventh published poetry collection. It is easy to forget, given the amount of international culture to which we are exposed through the National Arts Centre and our many festivals, how much home-grown talent there is in this city. Talent is too light a word for it. The gift that people like Itani and Levenson possess owes a lot to dedication, hard work and inspiration. Whatever you call it, there is a lot

of it around. In 2007, two Ottawa writers, Elizabeth Hay and Daniel Poliquin, were on the shortlist for the Giller, the most coveted of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literary awards. Hay won it, for her novel Late Nights on Air. She was shortlisted for a Governor Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Literary Award in 1997 for Small Change and in 2003 for Garbo Laughs. And Poliquin is up for a Governor Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Literary Award this year for translation. Emphasis on literary awards can be misleading.

Intimidation tactics reappear in West Carleton To the Editor: The editor of the West Carleton Review should be commended for publishing so many letters primarily on the D-5-5 issue, which has little effect on the majority of the population of West Carleton, and hardly rates being an election issue. Congratulations as well should go out to the letter writers, who took the time to express their views, in a well thought out way, although as often happens approached the subject from a different viewpoint. If only that same thoughtfulness could be applied to the all candidates debates in this Ward. It would seem that some rabid supporters of a certain candidate, at the Oct. 1 debate in Carp, have never become acquainted with the concepts of respect, fair play and civil behaviour. The boorish behaviour exhibited by certain front

row supporters of one of the challengers, harkens back to the days of what could be called back-woods politics, where fights rather than words were commonplace. West Carleton went through this all before, when Jack MacLaren and his merry band of separatists paraded around in their Carleton County sweatshirts, attempting to intimidate all opposition, while shouting everyone down, and claiming their dream of forming their own county was just around the corner. The dream ended, as all dreams do, when they finally woke up and realized there was no support. Yet the same tactics of intimidation, outright rude behaviour and irrational thought has re-appeared during this campaign, and it clearly points to one particular group that is active in West Carleton. The leader of this group is a better person then this, and hopefully before this campaign ends these people will take stock in their behaviour, and learn that their actions harm anything they might want to achieve, now and in the future. Jeff Spooner Kinburn

Ward 5 candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities keep changing To the Editor: In the Oct. 9 edition of the West Carleton Review, Jonathan Mark placed an ad promoting his election platform. He notes that â&#x20AC;&#x153;roads and transportation will be my number one priority.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard that from him. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to two ward debates and watched the recent Rogers TV debate. Never has he mentioned this as being his top priority. Also new to his platform is that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll revisit the Older Adult Plan 2012-2014. If the title of that document is correct, then the plan is in effect until the end of 2014, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely be revisited anyway in 2015 or beyond. Also newly mentioned is his support for the regular updating of Village Development Plans. He makes it sound like they never get updated. All of the Village Plans for Ward 5 were updated in 2012 in preparation for the 2013 Official Plan update. Mr. Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s platform has morphed several times over the past few months. In the Oct. 2 edition of this paper he stat-

ed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel that representation is the most important issue for Ward 5.â&#x20AC;? In the October 2 edition of the Ottawa Sun, when asked the question on the biggest issue facing the ward, he states â&#x20AC;&#x153;two-way communication is key.â&#x20AC;? As part of the Ottawa Citizen candidate questionnaire published on Sept. 28, he says the two most important issues are â&#x20AC;&#x153;better representationâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;a garbage plan that works.â&#x20AC;? The questionnaire then asks what his top priority will be if elected, and he responds with D-5-5. Mr. Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own press release dated June 9 states that the main components of his campaign are â&#x20AC;&#x153;striking a balance between fiscal responsibility and providing adequate services, lowering taxation and instituting a Rural Advisory Board.â&#x20AC;? It is very obvious Mr. Mark does not have a solid and consistent platform. This is not the type of representation Ward 5 needs or wants. Please consider this when casting your vote on Oct. 27.

â&#x20AC;˘ D55 Solution â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The City of Ottawa only has to apply this condition to severances after water treatment. It is not fair that a severance can be denied based on hard water, which can be treated easily. For those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to drill, they need to sign a â&#x20AC;&#x153;well agreementâ&#x20AC;? which would be a condition for a building permit. It would be unjust for someone to buy a property with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;well agreementâ&#x20AC;? attached and not be able to build their home because they have hard water. Mortgage lenders do not require this. â&#x20AC;˘ Rural Voice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With the loss of the Rural Issues Advisory Committee and the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee reduced to rubber stamping zoning changes, we have lost our rural voice at the City of Ottawa. I want the Advisory Committee reinstated and the structure of ARAC changed so that people can truly participate and be consulted on important matters of the rural areas. â&#x20AC;˘ Seniors & Disabled People â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I will work for a Para-Transpo system whereby people who need it can use it for the same fare as the urban resident.

Opinion - The Farmer’s father is 89 years old. And he’s determined to go to his traditional hunt camp again this year. With his mobility a bit compromised, it might be foolhardy for Wally to go hunting on his own again, but he really doesn’t like to miss it. So the Farmer is going with him. Hopefully the two of them will enjoy their time together and no one will get lost in the woods. A lot of hunter’s wives are used to their men going off into the bush for a week or two at the beginning of November. Some of them even look forward to it. They plan girls-only get-togethers, shopping trips, ladies’ lunches and movie nights. A ‘hunting widow’, as she is called, will take advantage of the solitude and spend her days at home without worrying about her man’s sched-

him to work. So he spent a few more days in the woods, reading a book. I am not accustomed to my man going off on his own for several days at a time. If the Farmer isn’t home, I am cold all the time and I don’t sleep well. I have to leave lights on and I stay up way past my bedtime, watching useless movies on Netflix. Now don’t get me wrong – I truly enjoy my alone time. But the Farmer and I have formed such a secure, routine partnership, I feel quite unsettled without him. Like I’m walking around all day with just one shoe. The Farmer went away in May, on a business trip with the college. I managed. We Skyped twice a day and I kept busy so that the days would go by quickly. I guess I will do the same this time. I will invite friends over for a sleep-over movie night with sushi and cocktails and chick flicks. I will sleep in and stay up late, work on my book and read others. I will appreciate the fact that my husband has his own interests. We are both very independent people, thank goodness. So I’m a hunting widow this year! But it certainly isn’t going to be lonely. We have three international students living with us, after all. I have to get them to their various activities, keep the house clean, keep them fed and entertained. We’ll go to the movies and the hockey game and have a great time. I think I’ve got it all under control. This farm pretty well runs itself. As long as the water to the barn doesn’t freeze or otherwise break down, we’re good. If it does, I will have to line up a row of barrels and fill them with water, twice a day. I hope the snow holds off and we don’t get an early storm while the Farmer/Hunter is away

because I can’t drive that decrepit old tractor to bring the cows hay. I would just have to open the door to the barn, climb up onto the hay bales and roll one out for them. Which wouldn’t be so bad, I guess. I’ve managed in the past. The farm survives without the Farmer. For short periods of time. So I guess we’re good. I’m even looking forward to it. I can take the girls into the city, visit friends I haven’t seen in a while and not worry about rushing home to make dinner or keep company with the man of the house. It will be a novelty, and it will wear off, because I like my routine. Yep, we’re good. As long as the Farmer is home in time for Sunday dinner. Because that is one thing that just doesn’t happen without him. I love houseguests but get stressed when things have to happen on schedule, like a co-ordinated dinner for 20. He has a free hunting pass until Sunday. Or I’m cancelling dinner. The nice thing about the Farmer going off for a weekend hunting is that I can bank those points toward a nice weekend away in Montreal or Toronto with my girls. We can go Christmas shopping, take in a concert or show, enjoy girl time and not feel guilty about leaving the Farmer home to fend for himself. Because if I can survive solitude, so can he! I will just have to leave bowls of cat food and water all over the basement for Sammy and Sheila because he isn’t likely to remember to feed them unless they trip him on his way up the stairs.

No psychiatric beds closed: Correctional Service To the Editor: Re: “Barring treatment for the mentally ill,” West Carleton Review, Oct. 2. The Correctional Service of Canada wishes to clarify facts reported in the article. Contrary to what the article reports, no mental health beds have been decommissioned. CSC is not closing any beds. CSC is reviewing the organization and delivery of its mental health services for inmates to ensure the most effective and efficient delivery of quality essential mental health care services for this population. There are three levels of mental health care: hospital care, intermedi-

OVER

ate care and primary care. Hospital care is provided for inmates with acute mental health concerns requiring inpatient psychiatric care with 24-hour nursing care, typically in a hospital bed. Intermediate care is provided to inmates presenting with mental health conditions that cannot be adequately addressed through primary care in an institution, but who do not require hospital care. Primary care is provided to inmates with mental health needs that can be accommodated by services in an institution. All three levels of care are provided by interdisciplinary teams, including mental health professionals such

as psychiatrists, nurses, psychologists, social workers and occupational therapists. It is possible that this realignment could include a re-allocation of funding previously designated for hospital care to provide support and capacity for intermediate level care within the treatment centres and in mainstream institutions. Matching the service level to patient needs ensures the most efficient use of health resources. The net result will be that services will be better aligned to the health needs of the inmate population, and will allow inmates to transition down to the most appropriate level of care when they need it.

mentally ill,” West Carleton Review, Oct. 2. It is good news that CSC has not yet closed any acute care beds for mentally ill offenders. Notwithstanding, it is clear from the letter that the service is considering transferring resources from acute care to intermediate care. This means that while a bed would not be “closed,” it would be re-purposed and no longer available for inpatient acute care. I support efforts of the correctional service to finally fund the intermediate care component of its mental health strategy, but I am concerned if it does so at the expense of its already burdened acute care capacity.

CSC is legislatively mandated to provide inmates with essential health care and reasonable access to nonessential mental health care that will contribute to the inmate’s rehabilitation and successful reintegration into the community. Thank you for the opportunity to provide some clarification on CSC’s treatment of offenders with mental health care needs.

A tale of two Sparrows Lifestyle - As October winds strip maples of their colourful garb, ﬂocks of birds are moving south. Some birds, like the Turkey Vultures that teeter-totter in the breeze on their expansive wings, remain silent. Others, such as Red-winged Blackbirds, utter occasional chuckles as they ﬂy overhead. And then, of course, there are the Canada Geese whose cascading cacophony overpowers all other sounds. But you don’t have to

White-throated Sparrows are currently passing through our area in small flocks.

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way strain your neck to see birds migrating in flocks. Currently many sparrows are passing through our area, and large groups can be seen flitting along roadside edges and trails that pass through open areas. Most flocks are composed of more than one kind of sparrow, and right now two species - White-crowned and White-throated – are particularly common. While you might think sparrows to be a dull-coloured lot hardly worth of a glance, those two sparrows

named after their distinctive appearance are actually quite handsome. Beware, though, that White-throated Sparrows also have black and white stripes (some are black and tan) on their heads. To make matters even more confusing, young White-crowned Sparrows have a brown-striped head. But they, like their adult forms, lack white throats, and sport pink bills and unmarked gray breasts. Although these two species travel together, they come from very different parts of this country. Whitethroated Sparrows are coniferous forest birds, their distinctive whistled “Sweet, Canada, Canada, Canada” song familiar to anyone who spent summer in the north woods. To hear a White-crowned sing in summer, however, one must travel much farther north, to where trees become dwarfs, or ascend high mountains to their alpine zones. A reﬂection of their different summer habitats,

White-crowned Sparrows nest on the ground while White-throated Sparrows build nests in trees. Most of these sparrows spend winter in the central and southern states, but a few will remain as far north as southern Ontario. Oddly, even though White-crowned Sparrows nest farther north than do White-throats, they are much more rarely seen in our area in winter. For both species, the individuals that stay here inevitably show up at birdfeeders. In winter all sparrows eat seeds. Their conical bills slice off the tough coverings of small seeds and crack open those of larger seeds. Elongated toenails scratch the ground to reveal seeds hidden under snow, leaves, and other debris. If you want to entice sparrows to appear in your backyard this winter, try sprinkling seeds on the ground. A mixture of cracked corn and white millet is popular with most ground-feeding birds. If you encounter a ﬂock of

MICHAEL RUNTZ PHOTOS

Young White-crowned Sparrows lack the black-and-white striped head that gives this species its name sparrows and see one with a heavily streaked breast, you are likely looking at a Song Sparrow. Just like its ﬂock companions, Song Sparrows occasionally winter in our area, showing up at birdfeeders when they do. Cattail marshes with a bit of open water are particularly good places to ﬁnd Song Sparrows, which are named

after their lovely song. With many tree-dwelling birds now gone, it is an excellent time to cast your eyes toward the ground. But never look down on sparrows – they may be plain but they are just as good as any other bird! The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

CHANGE BEGINS HERE! ELECT ALEXANDER ARONEC FOR COUNCILLOR I STAND FOR IMPROVING SERVICE DELIVERY & CREATING VALUE FOR TAX PAYERS. I WILL MAKE THE CITY PROACTIVE ON ISSUES, EVER IMPROVING SERVICES FOR YOU ONE PRACTICAL STEP AT A TIME!

“Alex Aronec often appears a promising young Liberal, offering largely centrist views but with an optimistic flare.” West Carleton Review

In a news release dated July 9, 2014 titled “City improvements in project Management Practices” as a result of the Auditors report on Orgaworld. “ says in part:“The Auditor has identified…that the City needed to be more rigorous in its approach to project management and more proactive in our analysis”. In the West Carleton Review on March 11, 2010, yes 2010, not 2014, I stated that: “The city AG does a commendable job looking at items in retrospect and with a financial focus… What is needed … is to establish a project control office {PCO} with a mandate to be councils’ eyes and ears on all capital projects and policies… and would be comprised of trained and accredited project managers…. It is time we see the city put accountability and visibility at the forefront.”

SOME KEY POINTS OF MY PLATFORM ARE: WORKING TOWARDS IMPROVED LONG TERM FINANCIAL HEALTH WITHIN THE CITY; BRINGING RURAL IDENTITY AND VALUES TO THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS OF THE CITY OF OTTAWA; INITIATE AN EVALUATION OF CORE SERVICES BY REVISING THE CITY'S PRIORITIES TO BE MORE RESPONSIVE TO THE RESIDENTS

4 years wasted, how many dollars, and that letter still is valid. See my website for more information on this and other issues.

SEE CONCRETE IDEAS ON HOW I WILL DO THIS AND MORE ON MY WEBSITE OR EMAIL ME AT: ALEXANDERARONEC@ARONEC.CA.

I am an entrepreneurial young man. I have already worked on many of these issues over the past four years. I am deeply involved in the community and am currently President and was a past Director of the March Rural Community Association. I have, and continue, to actively volunteer with Scouts Canada. Prior to voting please take some time to look at what each candidate represents. In a democracy, we all can and should make our own informed decisions!

Alexander Aronec

When you vote, make an informed decision based on the substance of every candidate, not just on how much flash, they or their supporters want you to think they have. The decision YOU make on Election Day directly impacts YOU over the next 4 years. This is not a popularity contest, it is one looking for the person to best represent YOU at City Council 24/7/365 for 4 years. Choose wisely and vote for Alexander

Aronec.

Hear the trees talk during nature walk Saturday News – The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust is inviting nature lovers to the High Lonesome Nature Reserve near Pakenham this Saturday, Oct. 18 to let your five senses guide you through the woods. Feel the furry fungi. Listen to the pines whispering to you. Reach out and touch the rough bark of the tree and you may just want to give it a hug. Admire the last fall colours contrasting with the deep greens of the spruces. Smell the fallen leaves. Just stop, close your eyes and breathe it all in. Feel your cares drop off like those autumn leaves. While the woods will be full of opportunities for many rich sensory experiences, mushroom expert George White and other knowledgeable naturalists will focus on fungi, with all their wide array of colours and textures - woolly, slimy, velvety, crisp or shaggy.

They will not only help you find, identify and admire the various mushrooms but also explain how amazing mushrooms are and what an important role they play in determining what plants grow in the forest. That mushroom on your plate in future will get much more respect. Immersed in the woods, the quiet is soothing. But wait, there are birds and frogs singing, the trees are creaking and whispering to you. Some of these sounds of nature are so soothing that they are imitated by white noise machines to mask offensive sounds. To enhance the listening experience, the Land Trust’s soundscaping expert Chad Clifford will provide opportunities to hear nature’s sounds amplified in new ways with enhanced audio recorders and headsets. Not only will you be encouraged to detect the differences between the smell

Bring your lunch and gather after your tour to share what you experienced. Be sure to dress for the weather. A $10 donation will go towards the maintenance of the property and its eight kilometers of trails and help the Land Trust acquire other wilderness properties for the benefit of Nature and your well-being.

Ice hut registration now online News – The provincial government is making it easier and faster to register new ice fishing huts. As of Oct. 7, individuals and businesses can register their ice fishing huts online free of charge. Ice hut registration is only required in Fisheries Management Zones 9 to 12 and 14 to 20. Ice huts that are tents made of fabric covering the base area of seven square meters (75.4 square feet) or less do not need to be registered or display a number. The online registry will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. An individual or business only needs to register for an ice hut number once. Previously issued ice hut numbers continue to

be valid and there is no need to re-register. Each year, about 1.3 million licensed anglers fish in Ontario, growing the province’s economy by $2.5 billion. Ontario’s lakes and rivers are home to 160 types of freshwater fish. An individual or business can access the registration form online through ontario.ca/icefishing. A paper registration form is available by request by calling 1-855-613-4256 or emailing mnr.rasc@ontario.ca. ServiceOntario centres can also assist in accessing the forms through a public access terminal and printing off a paper copy. Additional permits or authorizations may be required for those planning to use an ice fishing hut in a provincial park.

That’s right, don’t invite bears to the cottage Lifestyle - Most human-bear conflicts happen when bears are attracted by smells and rewarded with an easy meal. When bears pick up a scent with their keen noses, they will investigate. If bears are rewarded with feasts of bird food, garbage or pet food, they will return. It takes all cottagers working together to get rid of bear problems. If you would like to report a bear problem, call 1-866-514-2327. If your personal safety is at risk, call 911 or the local police.

What cottagers can do: • Never leave garbage behind. If you must leave before garbage day, or if you do not have curbside collection, take your garbage with you when you go. Take it to an approved waste disposal site. • Fill bird feeders only through the winter months. • Never feed bears (or other wildlife) or try to approach them. • Put garbage in containers that have tightfitting lids, and only put it out on garbage

day, not the night before. • Store garbage in a bear-resistant container, secure shed or garage. Do not store garbage in plywood boxes, old freezers or vehicles. • Don’t stockpile garbage. Take it to a waste disposal site regularly. • Keep meat scraps in the freezer until garbage day. • Remove grease and food residue from barbecue grills, including the grease trap, after each use. • Do not put meat, ﬁsh or sweet food (including fruit) in your composter. • Pick all ripe fruit off trees, and remove vegetables and fallen fruit from the ground. • Encourage your neighbours to practise bear wise habits. • If you rent your cottage, tell your tenants the importance of being bear wise. You are responsible for your own personal safety. Take precautions when you are outdoors. Garbage is the number one reason bears are drawn to properties, followed by bird feed, suet and nectar. Whether you are closing the cottage for the season, or just between stays, take a few simple precautions to avoid problems with bears and other animals.

Before you leave a cottage: here are some valuable tips to follow: • Remove your garbage. Take it home or drop it off at an approved waste disposal site. • Use a strong disinfectant to eliminate all odours from garbage and recycling containers and lids. • Never discard cooking grease outside. Instead, place it in a container with a lid, transfer it to a plastic bag and include it with other properly stored garbage. • Take your barbecue with you when you leave the cottage, or store it in a secure shed. Make sure it is clean. • Do not leave any food or food scraps outdoors. • When packing up, remember to remove all the food from the inside of your cottage. A box of pudding or fruit flavoured dessert mix is all it takes to attract a bear. • Do not leave scented products outside. Even non-food items like suntan lotion, insect repellent, soap and candles attract bears. • Close and lock all windows and doors. • If away for an extended period of time, have someone you trust check in and look for signs that a bear has either visited or broken into your property.

Be tick smart during hunting season News - Hunting season is upon us and area health units are reminding hunters to be aware that they also share the great outdoors with ticks that can make them sick. Lyme disease is caused by being bitten by an infected tick. In this area there are several different types of ticks. Lyme disease is caused by the bite of an infected black-legged tick (also known as deer ticks). A tick must be attached to you for at least 24-36 hours in order to transmit Lyme disease. If a tick is attached for longer than 24 hours, and removed within the past 72 hours then it is important to contact a health care provider. What can you do to minimize your exposure to ticks? • Wear light coloured, long sleeved shirts and long pants. For extra protection, tuck your

pants into your socks. Use bug repellent containing DEET. Read the manufacturer’s instructions before applying the repellent on yourself or children. • When you return from the outdoors, check your entire body thoroughly for ticks including your scalp. • If you ﬁnd an attached tick, remove it promptly using a pair of tweezers or a tick remover. Grasp the tick’s head and mouth parts as close to the skin as possible and pull it straight out gently, but firmly. Avoid twisting or squeezing the tick during removal. Quick removal of a tick will prevent you from getting lyme disease. For further information on Lyme Disease, contact the Health Action Line at 1-800-6605853 or visit www.healthunit.org.

Province to allow taller wood buildings Move a construction industry ‘game-changer’: homebuilders’ association Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Dr. Corrine Motluk

Starting Jan. 1, homebuilders in Ontario will be allowed to construct taller wood-frame buildings. The provincial government is changing the building code to allow structures up to six storeys to be made from wood, up from four storeys. a concrete structure, Herbert said. But more importantly, it will change the streetscapes in Ottawa, he said. Right now, there are very few buildings between six and 10 storeys in Ottawa because it was not economically feasible to construct a building of that height and density in concrete, Herbert said. “It’s a no-man’s land,” he said. That cost effectiveness should translate into more affordable homes, Herbert said. Now, builders can use wood and build a profitable project at the six-storey

height, Herbert said. He also expects the buildings will look nicer. Creating interesting and intricate facades isn’t easy with concrete buildings, which often end up looking like flat slabs, Herbert said. Wood construction is a much more flexible material and will allow building facades to be stepped in at points to break up the fronts of buildings. Herbert pointed to British Columbia, where about 50 six-storey wood –frame buildings have been constructed since that province changed the law in 2009, but around 200 more have been approved or are under construction. Seattle has allowed similar building forms for

News - New provincial rules to allow buildings of up to six storeys to be constructed with wood will be a “game changer” for Ottawa, according to the president of the local homebuilders’ association. John Herbert, president of the Greater Ottawa Homebuilders’ Association, said the Ontario government’s announcement on Sept. 23 that it will increase the height of buildings that can be constructed with wood frames from four to six storeys is a great idea that will increase residential density while allowing for more creative architecture. Herbert said he anticipates a number of builders will jump on the chance to build sixstorey wood-frame structures when the Building Code changes come into effect Jan. 1, 2015 – mainly because it is cheaper than concrete. Studies show that a wood-frame building costs about 15 to 20 per cent less to put up than

25 years, Herbert said. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, vice chairwoman of the planning committee, said allowing this new form of building will help the city “hold the line” on urban sprawl. Harder said she could anticipate some builders coming back to the city to request rezonings for six-storey buildings in order to “take advantage of this new form.” “We’ll have to deal with that, but I think that the province in saying that it’s possible to do it, is going to allow us and the developers, too, who are building our communities, to make better land use,” Harder said. “It also allows us to get the density in a different fashion, which will allow more space to possibly more pathways, more space for people to live on,” she said. The move, which the province said is intended to support the forestry industry, will be especially beneficial to local companies that produce pre-fabricated wood panels, Herbert said. That’s because the panels can cut down construction times – the period when the wood buildings are most susceptible to fires, mainly arson, Herbert said. Once a modern woodframe structure is built with sprinkler systems in place, the risk of it being destroyed by fire are quite low, he said. Other fire-safety measures include a requirement that stairwells be made of non-combustible materials and roofs be combustion resistant.

Police seize 1,200 marijuana plants in rural west end Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa police drug unit seized 1,200 marijuana plants from the rural west end of the city in the last couple weeks. The street value of the plants was estimated to be in excess of $1.2 million, police said in a

news release issued Oct. 8. The drug unit, in partnership with the air support unit and the marine, dive and trails team, conducted a two-day outdoor eradication project in the early fall, west of Kanata and Stittsville. Two large-scale crops were located and harvested by police.

The public can report drug activity to the Ottawa police drug unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5083. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 or toll free at 1-800-222-8477. People can also send tips by downloading the Ottawa police smart phone application.

“The seizure of this quantity of marijuana represents a significant loss of illicit profits, which finance a variety of criminal enterprises including gun smuggling and human trafficking,” said Ottawa police drug unit acting Staff Sgt. Ian McDonell, in the release. No suspects have yet been identified, said police.

Canadian Tire Centre to improve traffic flows on Huntmar Drive News - There will be a number of upgrades to the traffic flow following Ottawa Senators games this season. The upgrades, which include traffic flow changes both northbound and southbound on Huntmar Drive, are expected to make a significant improvement in the time it takes for patrons attending Senators games to exit the venue. “We’ve worked hard with our partners Vinci Park to put in place a number of measures that will dramatically increase the speed of egress from the building following games,” said Senators president Cyril Leeder. “When these upgrades are completed over the next few months, our parking experience, and by extension the entire game experience, will be

that much better.” HUNTMAR NORTHBOUND

Access to Highway 417 via the north loop of the Palladium Drive interchange and Huntmar Drive overpass opened on Sept. 23 with a new traffic roundabout having one lane open for cars. The roundabout is now open to two lanes. Effective for the Senators home opener on Thursday, Oct. 16, the following traffic improvements will be implemented post-game: • Traffic will operate with two lanes northbound along Huntmar Drive from Cyclone Taylor Blvd. across the Highway 417 overpass to Campeau Drive and around the new-

ly constructed roundabout. • From the roundabout vehicles will have access to Highway 417 via the Palladium Drive interchange. • These changes will improve the trafﬁc ﬂow at the Cyclone Taylor Blvd. / Huntmar Drive intersection. HUNTMAR SOUTHBOUND

To improve exit times for southbound fans, a new exit is being constructed from Lot 4 of Canadian Tire Centre that will allow patrons to exit Lot 4 and proceed southbound on Huntmar Drive without merging with on-coming southbound trafﬁc. The new

exit will have dedicated right- and left-turn lanes. This new exit from Lot 4 will be operational in late October and the following traffic improvements will be implemented post-game: • Traffic will operate with two lanes southbound along Huntmar Drive from Lot 4 to Maple Grove Rd. • This change will improve the traffic flow from Lot 4 as well as relieve pressure from the Palladium Drive / Huntmar Drive intersection.

In addition to the measures aimed to help egress from Senators games, the widening of Highway 417 between Eagleson Road and Highway 7 is nearing completion, with expected completion to come at some point in November of this year. These changes will positively impact both timing of arrival and departure of guests to the centre.

OPP remind drivers about ‘move over’ law News – After 10 years of education efforts, which includes more than 11,000 charges on record since the law came into effect, the OPP is dismayed to see a slow but steady increase in the number of ‘Move Over’ charges it has laid against drivers since 2010. If the highway has more than one lane, the law requires the driver to move over and leave one lane between their vehicle and the parked emergency vehicle if it can be done safely. Failure to do so can result in a ﬁne of $400 to $2,000 plus three demerit points.

Land Transfer Tax (LTT) The Land Transfer Tax is paid to Ontario government whenever there is a registered change of ownership of real property. While there are certain exceptions, the land transfer tax is generally payable whenever someone purchases a residential home. The amount of the LTT depends on the purchase price and the current tax rate rises progressively from 0.5% on the first $55,000 of the purchase price to 2% of the amount of purchase price which exceeds $400,000.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. By Shawn Ryan, CFP, TEP Partner and Senior Insurance and Estate Planner Scrivens Insurance and Financial Solutions

Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a signiﬁcant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come. There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneﬁciary and remaining as policy owner.

Here is a scenario where a mother owns purchase a permanent life insurance policy a family business and wishes to gift the for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to shares to her adult children through a charity through her Will. provision in her Will.

The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. This should be considered in the bigger context of planned giving options available to donors both during their lifetime and at death.

News - A slate of candidates hoping to abolish the green bin and cancel the Orgaworld contract is down a member. Stittsville candidate Dave Lee pulled out of the Ottawa Property Ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Coalition citing concerns over their hard-lined approach, after the group held a press conference at city hall on Oct. 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their main items are aligned (with my platform), but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going about it that is off-putting,â&#x20AC;? said Lee, who is running against incumbent Shad Qadri in the municipal election scheduled for Oct. 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A little diplomacy would be nice.â&#x20AC;? Osgoode ward candidate Mark Scharfe has spent several months gathering candidates across the city to form a â&#x20AC;&#x153;loose-knit groupâ&#x20AC;? of candidates that supports cancelling the â&#x20AC;&#x153;dangerous and inefficientâ&#x20AC;? green bin program, reversing the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Orgaworld contract, bringing rural Hydro One customers into Hydro Ottawa and banning the use of biosolids on farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fields. He is hoping to elect â&#x20AC;&#x153;11 or 12 candidatesâ&#x20AC;? so that they have enough people to pass their promises. Motions need 13 votes or more to pass at city council.

Scharfe said he holds no hard feelings against Lee for dropping out of the coalition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just nervous and he changed his mind,â&#x20AC;? Scharfe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not holding anyone to anything.â&#x20AC;? Lee agreed that he was nervous to be part of the coalition once he saw the â&#x20AC;&#x153;right-wing, hardline approachâ&#x20AC;? of the group. He said he registered as a candidate at the last minute, and when Scharfe reached out to him Lee found he was aligned with most of Scharfeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s platform ideas. But as Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign got off the ground and he was too swamped to attend any of the coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meetings, Lee backed off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My campaign team who has decades of experience said we do not need to be aligning with these guys, or with any party,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. Lee added that some issues donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really affect his ward. Other candidates in the coalition include James Parsons (West Carleton-March), Brandon Scharfe (Alta Vista), Roger Scharfe (Gloucester-South Nepean), Jennifer Robitaille (Orleans), Ian Bursey (Barrhaven), Guy Annable (College), Mohamed Roble (Gloucester-Southgate), Rene Tessier (Beacon Hill-Cyrville), David-George Oldham (Rideau Vanier), Michael Kostiuk (River), Marc Belisle (Cumberland), Andrew Modray (Innes) and Bruce Faulkner (Kanata South).

International property rights group formed News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The forming of an International Property Rights Association has sprung from an Ontario Landowners Association (OLA) meeting in Kanata Oct. 4. The session was organized and attended by many area OLA members, including several from West Carleton, after they received encouragement from supporters from far and wide. In a news release, the OLA explains that the idea for an international conference on property rights was the culmination of the thoughts and ideas put forward by a group of people from around the

world. The group, â&#x20AC;&#x153;in a mere six monthsâ&#x20AC;? not only managed to register 180 guests, including politicians from all levels of government, but also brought together, from around the world, a people â&#x20AC;&#x153;so willing to give of their soul and to share their wealth of knowledge in regards to property rights.â&#x20AC;? The Oct. 4 featured special guest speakers from the U.S., Australia and provinces across Canada who spoke about Letters Patent and the constitutional and common law rights of the people. The international dignitaries present included;

â&#x20AC;˘ Len Harris, Queensland, Australia: A former Senator of the Australian Commonwealth who has toured Australia, holding public meetings and encouraging people to understand their property rights. â&#x20AC;˘ Ron Gibson, Oregon: Recognized for his expertise in Letters Patent and Constitutional Law in America. He has taught multiple courses in law at a local college, and is currently acquiring a Private Attorney General Authority. â&#x20AC;˘ Tom DeWeese, Virginia: Founder and president of the American Policy Centre, a leading advocate of individual private property rights and is a

Several of the attendees expressed that, for the ďŹ rst time, they began to understand the importance of Letters Patent and the rights the patents afforded them. The enthusiastic, standing-room-only crowd of more than 180 people were inspired by the international speakers, says the OLA in the release.

News - Mayor Jim Watson says he has a solution for a problem city councillors spent much of the last term bickering over â&#x20AC;&#x201C; trafďŹ c calming. In a campaign announcement on Oct. 3, Watson said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d boost road-safety funding by $6 million in the next term of council, including ward-speciďŹ c pools of money that would give councillors control to pay for small projects aimed at increasing street safety and alleviating trafďŹ c congestion. The money would pay for 20 new red-light cameras to be added in the next four years, Watson said, bringing the total number of cameras to 53. The funding promise would also increase money for the Safer Roads Ottawa department from $75,000 to $500,000 annually.

But the most interesting suggestion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the one councillors and the transportation committee have spent hours arguing over â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is the idea of creating an annual $1-million fund that would be split between the 23 wards and give councillors control over small projects like adding ďŹ&#x201A;exible bollards to the centre of roads or installing planters that visually narrow the road, slowing down motorists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one knows local community roads better than the families who live on them and use them every day,â&#x20AC;? Watson said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know we will make even more progress if we work together and have community-level conversations about creating safer roads.â&#x20AC;? Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said his experience working with staff to get temporary markers for WoodďŹ eld Crescent, Viewmount Drive and Chesterton Avenue convinced him that ward-speciďŹ c funds for trafďŹ c calming would help to alleviate local trafďŹ c issues.

Hundreds show for Hospice open house Hospice Care Ottawa looking at more service in Ottawa’s east end Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Hospice Care Ottawa is looking to expand its services and potentially open another hospice in the city’s east end. But any future expansion will have to wait until after construction on the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata is ﬁnished, said the organization’s executive director Lisa Sullivan during the organization’s annual general meeting at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice on Sept. 22. “Likely that will be some community-based services, but there is certainly interest, from a number of partners, after we are ﬁnished with the west end, to look at a site in the east end.” In the coming year, Hospice Care Ottawa will also be looking at increas-

ing 45 per cent. “If we continue the way we are now with our fundraising activities, we will be able to meet our operating budget,” said Sullivan. The majority of Hospice Care Ottawa’s donations from their past fiscal year came from individuals at $263,862, followed by in memoriam donations. Apart from fundraising for the organization’s operations, Hospice Care Ottawa has also been fundraising for the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice’s livein building, providing much-needed beds for those unable to remain home as they approach their final days. Hospice Care Ottawa’s capital campaign, run in partnership with the Bruyère Foundation, has raised $4.6 million of its $6.2 million goal. Sullivan said Hospice Care Ottawa hopes that, with one last push, construction can start soon. “That will be significant for the Kanata community if we can make that final push with that campaign, because then we can start building in 2015,” she said. “That’s our goal.” In the coming year, the organization is hoping to increase its day hospice programs, which would allow those reaching the end of their lives to stay home as long as possible.

ing its capacity to offer services in French as well as English, said Sullivan. “That is an important step in our growth in the next year,” she said. HOSPICE SHOWCASE

Hundreds of community members, volunteers and hospice workers came out for the Sept. 22 open house and annual general meeting. The newly refinished and furnished interior of the hospice was filled with visitors, with about 370 people attending the event, said Sullivan. “We were just thrilled that so many people came through,” she said, adding that the event was a chance to show off the work that has been done at the former church site on 110 McCurdy Dr., and to let people know what is planned for Hospice Care Ottawa. The annual general meeting gave attendees a look into the organization’s financials, showing that Hospice Care Ottawa is currently on budget, though she added funding is never a done deal. “It’s always a concern financially, because we are only funded at about 55 per cent,” she said, meaning fundraising has to make up for the remain-

Homes for the Holidays kicks off holiday season Tour adds west end features Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Hospice Care Ottawa is ready to kick off this year’s holiday season with its annual home tour fundraiser. “Homes for the Holidays has become a tradition,” said Jane Panet, honourary chairwoman of this year’s tour.

“We are delighted that this year’s tour offers so many new exciting features. But what remains the same is the important reason why our hundreds of volunteers work so hard to make this beautiful home tour such a wonderful experience - they’re all dedicated to ensuring that the essential services provided by Hospice Care Ottawa remain

available to the public.” Now in its 12th year, the Homes for the Holidays tour invite Ottawa residents to tour extravagant homes across the city from Kanata to Rockcliffe Park this year. From Nov. 14-16, people will have the opportunity to view the many different homes on the list, including the chance to stop by the residence of the Irish ambassador to purchase holiday crafts, jewelry, children’s toys, as well as savoury preserves from local artisans. In addition to the homes, the organizers have also added a few new features to the tour, including the opportunity to tour Hospice Care Ottawa’s newest facility in Kanata, the Rudy-Shenkman Hospice, where holiday shoppers can bid on handmade wreaths. The Orange Gallery will also open its doors, show-

Church support for hospice Rabbi Reuven Bulka, chair of the Hospice Ottawa West Campaign Cabinet, centre, accepts a check for $25,000 on behalf of Hospice Care Ottawa from John Chapman, bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, left, with a bit of humour on Oct. 8. The cheque, the result of a project started in honour of St John’s Anglican Church’s 175th anniversary, is the first installment of $100,000 that will go towards building a reflection room in the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice, meant to allow those reaching the end of their life and their families to have a place of calm and quiet thought.

Health Centre, foundations to create research chair dedicated to suicide prevention Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News - The fight to understand and prevent suicide received a large boost on Oct. 8, thanks to a charitable foundation, a local fundraising initiative, The Royal, and a sizeable cash donation. Do It For Daron and the Mach-Gaensslen Foundation each contributed $1 million to help create a research chair dedicated to the study of suicide prevention. Once formed, the DIFD Mach-Gaensslen Chair in Suicide Prevention Research at The Royal will consult experts, community partners and families to build a list of best practices aimed at reducing instances of suicide. In a media release, George Weber, president and chief executive of The Royal, stated that mortality rates from suicide have remained constant while those from cancer and heart disease have diminished. “As a statistic, this is staggering and it becomes even more troubling when we remind ourselves that each suicide is a loved one lost and a family devastated,” said Weber. “We need to get better at preventing suicide. Better prevention can only be achieved through the knowledge and understanding brought about by research.” “In its purest form, this chair is about saving lives, and putting in place the appropriate treatments to prevent suicides,” said Karen Monoghan, spokeswoman for The Royal. Monoghan said The Royal wants to have the chair in place “as soon as possible,” and will now embark on a recruitment process to ensure the best candidate is chosen. The posi-

tion should be filled in six months to a year. The twin donations make up part of The Royal’s $25 million annual Capital Campaign for Mental Health, and will establish the chair position for a period of 10 years. “We’re looking for a clinician and researcher who will stay connected, part of the time, to clinical practice,” said Monoghan. “This way, the research will be translated into real solutions.” Part of the job of the research chair will be to seek out medical grants, she said, in order to keep the position active for longer than the 10-year time frame. Do It For Daron was formed in the wake of the 2010 suicide of Daron Richardson, the 14-year-old daughter of former Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson. Since then, Luke and Stephanie Richardson have raised funds to bolster resources for youth mental health. Among the initiatives that have benefitted from this are The Royal’s youth-targeted Healthy Minds phone app and the “Is It Just Me?” youth mental health program. “Seeing the chair in Suicide Prevention Research come to fruition at The Royal brings us great hope – hope that other families can avoid the horrific despair of losing someone to suicide,” said the Richardsons in a released statement. “DIFD is able to support this lifesaving research initiative only because of the vast and overwhelming support that the Ottawa community and others have given us.” The Mach-Gaensslen Foundation of Canada was formed in 2000 to support research in the fields of cardiology, oncology and psychiatry. This is its largest donation to date.

Country Harvest show to feature popular East Coast performers Jeff Maguire

Nature on canvas at Expressions of Art

Arts - There will be a distinctive Maritimes flavour to the sixth annual Country Harvest Music Show in Carleton Place this Sunday, Oct. 19. Headlining the always popular, fall musical extravaganza will be Floyd Spicer and Jo-Ann Newman, both of whom are members of the Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame. The annual concert is popular with country music fans from West Carleton, Lanark and Renfrew counties. Andy Bowes of the Carleton Place band the Bowes Brothers is once again organizing the entertainment for the show, which will be staged in the upper hall of the Carleton Place arena complex. It was Bowes who was successful in luring the eastern Canadian duo to central Canada and he couldn’t be more excited. “Floyd and Jo-Ann put on a great show. They perform the songs by all of the top duos in country music history. Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton, George Jones and Melba Montgomery – all of the greats.” Spicer has a big family connection to this region. His late brother

Wildlife artist Wendy Quirt is among the 35 artists who were a part of the West Carleton Arts Society Expressions of Art fall exhibition Oct. 3-5 at the Carp Agricultural Hall. Next up for Quirt and various other local artists is the Ottawa Art Expo Oct. 24-26 and the Kanata Civic Art Gallery Gift of Art Sale Nov. 16-17.

Programs return to equestrian park after investment Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Riders are back in the saddle at the former Nepean national equestrian park, where the Wesley Clover Foundation has taken over and committed to pumping $30 million into the site. The park, located north of Corkstown Road on NCC land, had been leased by the city for years, but with the park’s infrastructure crumbling and major horse shows pulling out of the venue, the city looked to pull out of the site in late 2012. With five groups interested in leasing the property, the Wesley Clover Foundation earned a short-term lease from the NCC in March of 2013, and now has two 25-year leases for the park, said Wesley Clover Parks’ executive director, Karen Sparks. After investing about $1 million in the park so far - including making the horse stables, arena and office building useable again and kicking out the raccoons that had taken up residence for the three months that the park had no caretaker - horse lessons returned last April. While the equestrian portion of the site will remain the primary focus, camping, hiking, soccer, winter sports and community events are all planned for the area, with some underway now, said Sparks. Currently, the park’s Ian Millar School of Horsemanship (named after the Canadian Olympic equestrian) is tracking to have 100 participants by the end of the year, said Sparks, with 15 horses on-site. Since Wesley Clover took over, the park has hosted seven horse shows, as well as eight runs through the existing trail system, with plans to connect to trails to the Trans Canada Trail network, said Sparks. The existing 80 hectare, 148-site campground was also running this year, though little had to be done on that end, she said. A forest school has also been established in the park, offering pre-school programming with students spending 50 per cent or more of their time outdoors. The school, run by Marlene Power who started the forest school concept, is expected to be the hub for forest schools in Canada, with educators having taken part in an on-site seminar in September. Six soccer fields are planned to be ready for 2016, located on the east side of the property near Moodie Drive. The West Ottawa Soccer Club, the Ottawa Royals Soccer Club and the Ottawa Sports and Social Club are expected to rent the fields and deal with booking, said Sparks. The park is also working with the Kanata Nordic Club, which will be doing some cross country ski trail grooming this winter, said Sparks, with a plan to have the park as the club’s main base of operations. The foundation expects to make many more infrastructure improvements, including more parking, a covered stand area by the grand prix ring, and expanding the property’s pond into a lake for skating in the winter. “I think there will be major pieces (built) for the next seven years,” said Sparks. The foundation committed to spending $30 million over the 25-year lease, but much of that will be spent in the first portion of the lease, she said, adding that work will be spread out so that areas of the park can continue to be used. The endeavour is also completely philanthropic, said Sparks, as the foundation’s lease states that all revenue from the park goes back into the property. The foundation was interested in the property due to its potential, and because the foundation had sponsored horse show events there when the city leased the park.

“The grand prix field is international quality, but nothing around it is even regional quality, so it was just sad to see something that could be really great and a beautiful property right in the heart of the city being something that we can’t really be proud of,” she said. Sparks, and equestrian herself and daughter of Terry Matthews, the founder of Wesley Clover International, pushed for the foundation’s lease proposal. “I knew that this could be a real jewel,” she said, “and it (wasn’t being) used to its potential.” Upcoming events at the park include: • a fall festival on Oct. 18 and 19 with a hay maze and more. • a horsemanship class with team Millar on Oct. 25 and 26. • a national level horse show from June 17-21 of 2015.

Curling club to put five home in spotlight in home tour John Wahay

Arnprior Curling Club

Community – The Arnprior Curling Club is holding a Christmas home tour. The fundraiser featuring five striking area homes is set for Saturday, Nov. 22 from 3 to 8 p.m. One of the tour stops is a beautiful historic home that has been lovingly preserved by its current owners. Located at 23 Charbonneau St. on a hill overlooking Braeside, its exterior and gardens are reminiscent of days gone by when the Gillies lumber baron family resided in it. The house has been built in three stages over the last 160 years. The three-storey main front of the house was built in the late 1840s with an addition put on in 1910. A small storey and a half addition was added to the rear of the house in 1957. All these additions have been incorporated into a finish of dark painted exterior cedar

shingles with a vibrant white trim, making it pop against its natural surroundings. Inside, the narrow plank floors remain true to its original look even with new finishes. Muted colours adorn the walls to which the owners have added collected vintage artwork and needlepoint. A newly renovated kitchen in a colour palette that co-ordinates with the rest of the home brings a modern functionality yet complementing the remaining character of the house.

Antique and comfortable furniture reigns throughout and a formal dining room with original built-in cabinets is a must see. Tickets to see this and four other remarkable homes are $25, which include a tea at the Curling Club at15 Gavin St. in Arnprior. For those who like to get their Christmas baking done early, there is a bake table with lots of Christmas goodies from which to choose. A silent auction with Christmas gift ideas enables

early shopping as well. The afternoon will prove to be an enjoyable afternoon getaway of finding ideas for decorating, shopping and simply enjoying a cup of tea with friends. Tickets can be bought at the Arnprior Book Shop, Gallery Gift Shop, Green Bean Natural Foods, Pakenham General Store, Robertson’s Furniture and Sleep Gallery, Rona, and SweetandSassyco. See Arnprior.ovca.com for JOHN WAHAY/SUBMITTED more details or call Joan at 613- This historic home overlooking Braeside is one of five 622-0018. on the Arnprior Curling Club’s Christmas home tour.

Green Shirts hockey players to hold reunion Friday Sports – Players and coaches involved with the Green Shirts Hockey organization are holding a reunion in Arnprior this Friday, Oct. 17. The group was originally founded in the 1920s and continued to play into the 1930s in a semi-professional Valley league. Ron Lapensee reports that at one time famous musician Mac Beatty

was the goalie. He even wrote a song that mentioned the Green Shirts (Lapensee thinks the title is ‘On the banks of the Ottawa River’). Museum tour

Prior to the reunion, organizers will go to the museum in Arnprior to research more of the Green Shirts’ his-

tory. The team folded after the 1930s and was revived 54 years ago by Maurice Robillard, a well-known Arnprior resident and former Korean war hero. The team is now folding after 54 years of playing hockey in Arnprior and in Ottawa Valley tournaments. At least 22 of the players that were part of the team from the ‘60s and ‘70s through today are planning to

be at the reunion, which will take place at the Prior Sports Bar starting at 2 p.m. “Anyone who played for the Green Shirts, especially on the teams managed by Robillard, are more than welcome to attend,” said Lapensee. Among the managers succeeding Maurice Robillard were Brian Robillard, Dave Holmes, Terry Robillard and Jimmy Robillard, he noted.

[Inter]National Feral Cat Day - October 16, 2014

Their ears were frostbitten, but they were lucky to have survived. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard life for feral cats. Domesticated cats, if abandoned and living long enough outdoors, can become feral. Feral cats are homeless, â&#x20AC;&#x153;wildâ&#x20AC;?, untamed cats, often born outside and having had little or no contact with humans. Ferals often live in groups called colonies. It is estimated there are millions of feral cats in North America. Some are lucky to have volunteer caretakers feed and care for them, at great expense to themselves â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe someone in your neighbourhood. For some ferals, food is scarce. They get sick, frostbitten, attacked and injured or killed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and no one knows or cares. Fortunately, a Trap-Neuter-Return program reduces the feral population humanely and gradually; but the whole colony needs to be vaccinated too, and then managed under the care of a dedicated cat colony caretaker. Kittens and not-so-wild cats can sometimes be adopted into homes. Wilder but healthy cats are returned to their colonies.

Spaying/neutering and veterinary care of feral and semi-wild cats is expensive.

Your donation will help care for these cats. To donate and/or request more information, please contact:

Lifestyle - Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home is very pleased to be able to inform all seniors that exercise classes, designed just for them, are now available at the Nick Smith Centre. The classes are offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1- 1:30 p.m. and 1:30-2 p.m. The classes are free to seniors and they are welcome to stay for both and to participate as often as they wish. No registration is required. The goal of these classes, with fitness instructor Ardella Schutt, is to provide more seniors with access to a community-based service that help increase regular physical activity and prevent falls. The pursuit of this goal by the Champlain LHIN is entirely consistent with its vision to have â&#x20AC;&#x153;healthy people and healthy communities supported by a quality, accessible health system.â&#x20AC;? In the pursuit to ensure that more people receive quality, evidence-based

care, we must ensure that our health care system provides care that is accessible, equitable, effective, efficient, and safe. One of our key success factors in regards to people receiving safe care is to reduce health risks by reducing adverse outcomes (falls, pressure ulcers). The classes are funded by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (CLHIN) along with the much needed assistances from Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program and the Nick Smith Centre.

Fall always created special smells for young Mary Lifestyle – My older and much wiser sister Audrey said it was all in my head. I had discussed it with her at length one Saturday while we were doing our weekly chores. That morning we were upstairs changing beds, dusting the floor with the rag mop, and wiping the windowsills with a damp cloth. It was a time I cherished because it meant I had my sister all to myself, even if she was in a hurry to get finished so that she could visit with her best friend Iva on the next farm. And so I asked her again. “Audrey, why does fall smell different than other times of the year?” That’s when she told me it

MARY COOK Memories was all in my head. I certainly didn’t want to argue with my sister. After all, she was much older than I was, and as far as I was concerned was just about the smartest girl in all of Renfrew County! So I decided I would not mention it again. I would just go on believing in my heart that fall smelled differently from any other time of the year.

All I had to do was stand at the back door, put my head outside and breathe deeply. The big maple tree had shed all its leaves, and I could smell them. No one could convince me that there was no smell from them … it was a mixture of damp ground and dried leaves. I would fill my nostrils with the scent, and marvel, and I would wonder if I was

By the time we were well into October, Mother would have put out the braided rugs that had spent the summer rolled up in layers of the Renfrew Mercury and kept under our beds. They too had the smell of fall on them. There would be the faint aroma of wool and from the papers, and they would add to that special tinge to my nose that told me the season had changed … the smells of summer were gone, and the smells of fall were around me. By that time of year, our summer clothes would be changed to warmer skirts and sweaters.

the only one who noticed there was a difference between the smells of summer and fall. The frost would come and I knew the smell outside would change again. I knew without a doubt that the smoke from the cook stove was different once the colder weather came. At no other time of the year did I notice the wonderful smell of burning logs as I watched the smoke curl above the roof of the house. And I would wonder why. When I went into the barns at night, they certainly didn’t smell like they did in the heat of the summer. The cows gave off a warmth and it filled the barn, and the aroma of the hay from the loft wafted down. Even the straw in each stall had what I called a cold weather smell. When I mentioned this to my sister Audrey, she said it was just my imagination playing tricks on me … all in my head, she said. The inside of our house smelled different too. The windows were shut tight, and trapped inside were the smells of gum rubbers, propped against the woodbox beside the Findlay Oval, and the musty smell of winter coats hanging at the back door. And I could smell wool. Everywhere there was wool … in the hats and mitts at the ready for the winter in a basket under the bake table, there was wool.

Be Strong. Be Confident. Be You.

Being a woman, on your own terms Lifestyle - A great activist of women’s rights to equality, on feminism in her era, remarked that it was not “an utopist fantasy, the sudden whim of a few fanatical minds, (but rather) a legitimate claim by women to their rights as human beings”. Women became conscious of the importance of their social role during the First World War. With men away at war, it became necessary for them to take on all sorts of tasks. Learning to find their true selves and experiencing the satisfaction of feeling useful to society, it is no wonder that once the War was over, many of them refused to reintegrate their “easy” lives running a household. Over the years, from struggle to struggle, women have learned to occupy a larger area in a world of men, to create

The real progress is in the fact that it is becoming increasingly feasible for women to make their own choices on how they wish to contribute to society.

a more egalitarian world. Feminism is still in the midst of its forward race. Although equality may have been reached on the political and legislative levels, there is still work to be done towards consolidating equality with reality. The social role of women is in constant progress. Equality is not synonymous with leveling, and the role of women does not need to be that of men. The real progress, that which deserves to endure but is often hidden behind ceremonious political speeches, is in the fact that it is becoming increasingly feasible for women to choose how they wish to contribute to society. Although there still remain obstacles on the way, the road is open wide and directions have been given.

Shattering the glass ceiling Lifestyle - The “glass ceiling” expression appeared towards the end of the 1970s and refers to the obstacles that women must surmount in order to reach the higher levels of professional hierarchies. Even though women in the West are more highly educated and qualified than ever be-fore, we are still quite far from the principal of equal work for equal pay. That is

especially the case in other parts of the world. But we mustn’t despair. We just have to look back at the progress made in the last decades and redouble efforts to overcome the discrimination and stereotyping in the workplace that still cast a shadow over many women. We must stop believing that only men can embody competitiveness,

ambition, charisma, combativeness, power, and authority. We must see that women bring these qualities — and more — to the workplace in a different, equally effective way. We should look at how the glass ceiling hinders their progress and reinforces a negative image of women. We should also ask ourselves if the glass ceiling is maintained

by choice or un-consciously, and what we can do to change those attitudes. We should ask ourselves why it is that many women end up in careers with only modest prospects and salaries, out of range of management roles and decision-making posts. Too many companies remain insensitive to the inner conflict many

working women live, especially those who are mothers and heads of single-parent families. The solution is to move towards creating conditions that would help women reconcile their work-family responsibilities. Women should take heart that starting a family doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to sacrifice their other dreams. Rallying their partners and children to the quest for equality and power-sharing is certainly the best way to change attitudes and ensure that one day the glass ceiling is shattered.

A Psycho-Educational Assessment consists of a battery of tests that will provide information on an individual’s overall intelligence (IQ), particular learning style, information processing abilities/deficits and academic skills. In general, you are wise to pursue an assessment if you notice on-going problems with any of the following:

Minding their own businesses Women from the baby boomer generation offer solid skills, life experience, practice and learning acquired over years, and are ready to enjoy the benefits of self-employment. One of the fastest-growing sectors for women in small business is to provide business services from a home office. A “typical” Canadian business woman is highly educated, has an average age of 41 years, and is more likely to choose a professional occupation in natural and applied sciences, business or finance, or in the health sector. She is also usually a sole-proprietor and more likely than a man to join a

trade association for networking and support in maintaining her business. Younger self-employed women may be focused on balance. About 60 per cent of women in small business are balancing work and family demands through self-employment. About 70 per cent of Canadian business women are married, and close to one third have children under 12 years. As a result, these business women are not as likely as their male counterparts to push their businesses to grow, but it’s a choice of lifestyle that works well.

R0021683435

Amongst all women small business owners, those over the age of 55, dubbed ‘seniorpreneurs’, represent one of the quickest growing segments.

Lifestyle - Women are making great strides in the world of business. According to a Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce report, “Women Entrepreneurs: Leading the Charge”, more than one million Canadian women will own a small business by 2015. The number of women-owned businesses are increasing 60 per cent faster than those owned by men. One of the quickest growing segments for women in business is being called “seniorpreneurs” - women over the age of 55 whose small businesses are growing at an annual rate of 4% over double that of self-employed men in the same age group.

West Ottawa, Greater Nepean business groups to merge adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - The amalgamation of the West Ottawa Board of Trade and the Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce is planned for Nov. 1 after the Oct. 1 finish date was pushed back. The extra month is not due to difficulties with negotiations, said the West Ottawa board’s executive director, Rosemary Leu. “We are in a good spot,” she said. “Just in order to make sure we have all our ducks in a row and all our legal paperwork and everything done and all our due-diligence, it’s just taking a few more weeks, so our target right now is Nov. 1.” The West Ottawa board announced the new timeline for the amalgamation at its annual general meeting on Sept. 30. Due to the extra month, the West Ottawa board membership had to ratify a motion to keep 12 of their 14 directors on until the amalgamation. “They will continue in

their current role, but of those 12, once we hit the amalgamation date and we sign and file those papers, four of those 12 will be stepping down, and eight will go onto the board of the new organization,” said Leu. The new organization, which will retain the West Ottawa Board of Trade name, will have a 15 member board of directors, with seven coming from the Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce’s current directors, she said. The agreement, to be ratified by members of both groups, is to have the chair of the new organization be chosen from among the current West Ottawa board’s directors, chosen by the amalgamated board of directors. The vice-chair would be chosen from amongst the Greater Nepean chamber’s directors, said Leu. The West Ottawa board’s current chair, Rick Chase, announced he will step down from his post at the annual general meeting, after 10 years of involvement with the

said, citing the organization’s rebranding last year, and the upcoming amalgamation. “I won’t leave the role (as chair) until we do come through with the merger,” he said.

The amalgamation negotiations have been going smoothly, said Leu. “We’ve got a pretty likeminded board,” she said, adding that the only real challenge was figuring out how to whittle down both boards into a single board. Many of the potential pitfalls involved in the merger had already been thought through by a task force made up of members from both groups that has been meeting since January. The idea to merge both organizations came up late last year, and after voting to take the question to members on May 20, both memberships voted overwhelmingly in favour of the amalgamation in June. “(The Nov. 1 date) is not set in stone, but we are, at this point, not seeing any reasons why (the amalgamation) won’t happen by then,” said Leu. The West Ottawa board and Nepean chamber represent the businesses that make up their membership, lobby government on their behalf, set up events, promote networking and support local businesses.

News - A new job grant opened Sept. 29 for Ontario employers. The grant is geared towards skilled workers who need short-term job training. It will provide up to $10,000 per person for training costs, and requires employers to contribute a third of the total cost. The Canada-Ontario job grant was announced on Sept. 26. It intended to help develop job-specific skills. “By encouraging businesses to invest more in their employees, these new employer-driven programs are an important step toward improving Ontario’s economic competitiveness,” said Ontario Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Allan O’Dette. Training can be done through a variety of vendors and institutions. For more information about the Canada-Ontario Job Grant, visit www.tcu.gov.on.ca.

of a single person pull with a time of 18.16 seconds. The weather held out, say organizers, with rain stopping just before the event and starting again as soon as the bus pull finished. Among the special guests was Arnprior Mayor David Reid. Local companies participated by entering a team or making a cash donation and organizers are thrilled with the support. “The target of raising more than the $4,000 from last year was surpassed before the bus pull started,” said New Flyer service centre manager Colin Hooper. “This year’s total is expected to be close to $5,000, once all pledges have been received.” Funds were raised with a barbecue and a raffle, in addition to donations from members of the public who stopped by to see what was going on. RESULTS/TIMES

The AECL Flying A’s were first with a time of 11.52 seconds, followed by Nu Tech Pipe Dreamers (11.69), New Flyer- Tech Mech’s (11.72), ADHS Senior Redmen football team (12), Sullivans/Rona (12.5) and Pillar 5-P5 (13.11). Since its inception, the event has raised about $14,000 for the Renfrew County United Way. New Flyer and United Way officials will be meeting to discuss ways to make the bus pull bigger and better in 2015.

Arnprior Legion president Harry Hereford, left, and Legion member and Urban Ford representative Walter Stack encourage the public to support the Legion by test driving a Ford this Saturday, Oct. 18.

Urban Ford will have a full range of around 20 vehicles on hand for the public to test drive.

Lifestyle – The seventh annual Take a Veteran to Dinner Night will be held Sunday, Oct. 26 in Ottawa. The idea for Take a Veteran to Dinner Night was born of a strong desire to show appreciation of the efforts and sacrifices of Canadian veterans in past and current conflicts. This non-partisan event is an opportunity for community members to personally thank area veterans and their spouses by treating them to dinner. A host buys a veteran’s ticket as well as their own and both host and veteran attend the dinner together. Organizers encourage hosts to invite veteran and spouse couples when appropriate. Building on the successes of the previous dinners, this year’s event will occur at Tudor Hall in Ottawa. Cocktails will be available starting at 5 p.m. with dinner following at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $60 per person (but there is no cost for veterans and their spouses) and the evening will include an introduction of veterans in attendance by emcee Carol Anne Meehan, a dinner, and an address by guest speaker and Soldier On representative Sgt Bjarne Nielsen. For more information visit veterans dinner.ca. Hosts and honourees may call 613-239-4035 to order tickets.

News – The Arnprior Legion is facing a number of added expenses as its building ages. So when Urban Ford of West Carleton offered to make the Legion the beneficiary of its latest ‘4UR Community’ test drive fundraiser project, the Legion was delighted. When Urban Ford’s Walter Stack, a Legion member, relayed the offer to Legion president Harry Hereford, he was quick to snap it up. “That’s awesome,” Hereford said. “It’s an especially good time for us … this old building is getting older and needs a number of things. The money will go for repairs.” The Legion has been fundraising in the last couple of years to fix the roof and update the air conditioning among other things.

child care available in the Legion’s back hall so parents are free to go for the test drives. The Legion will also have a barbecue from 11:30 a.m. on and there will be entertainment with Lauren Hall in the afternoon. “It will be a full day for us,” said Hereford. Stack is optimistic that the fundraiser, which has collected up to $2,600 in previous efforts despite iffy weather, can pass that and close in on the $6,000 maximum. Ford will pay $20 to the Legion for every test drive Saturday to a maximum $6,000 (300 people). In previous test drives, Urban Ford has donated money to special programs at Arnprior District High School, Neighbourlink Fountain, Walter Zadow school, and the Arnprior and District doctor recruitment efforts.

Museum presents ‘A Country Girl Does Her Bit: 1914-1919’  Community – The Lanark and District Museum has spent the past year researching and compiling the names of men and women from the Lanark Highlands who fought or otherwise participated in the First World War. As part of its ongoing commitment to remembrance on the 100th anniversary year, the final event in the museum’s Highlands Heritage Speakers Series will be a talk by well-known local historian Claudia Smith entitled ‘A Country Girl Does Her Bit: 1914-1919’. Like so many throughout the Lanark Highlands and across the country, Smith’s family was directly affected by the outbreak of war in Europe in 1914, as both men and women answered the call of duty. Smith will be presenting the story of her grandmother, a nursing sister in the war whose story

is shared with many women who left their homes in the Lanark Highlands to tend to others in their time of desperate need. Having researched and compiled information on local soldiers and nurses, museum staff and volunteers will be on hand following the presentation to help with research into attendees’ own family’s war stories. The “fantastic story of courage and service” will take place this Sunday, Oct. 19 at 2 p.m. at the museum at 75 George St. in Lanark. Admission will be by donation and light refreshments will be served. The museum is encouraging those attending to RSVP by this Friday, Oct. 17. To sign up, or if you have any questions or comments, contact the museum at 613-259-2575, by email at lanarkanddistrictmuseum@gmail. com or on Facebook.

Canada’s dwindling blood supply prompts urgent appeal for donors Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A blood shortage across the country has prompted Canadian Blood Services to appeal for donors to roll up their sleeves and boost dwindling supplies to keep hospitals from having to defer elective surgeries and other treatments. Summertime is typically a slow donation time due to people’s holiday travel schedules, but in the past few months demand for blood, coupled with low donor attendance, has resulted in Canada’s lowest blood inventory since 2008. “Every community has been struggling this year and that’s why we officially launched the appeal on Tuesday morning (Sept. 30) to all Canadians,” said Pamela Mullins, director of donor relations for Canadian Blood Services, a national non-profit that manages much of Canada’s blood supply. “We typically like to keep inventory between five and eight days on hand and right now we are just hovering around that three-day mark. “That’s why we have raised this to a critical issue.” It is imperative for the agency to keep adequate supplies on hand in order to serve hospital demands for blood on a day-to-day basis. Blood types A and O are especially needed. “So if we don’t turn this around, we will

Allan Vandervoort, donates blood for the second time in his life. The 27 year old wasn’t aware of the Canadian Blood Services’ nationwide appeal for blood, but was happy to help at the organization’s donation site at 1575 Carling Ave. on Oct. 2. have difficulty meeting the expected hospital demands across the country,” said Mullins. Elective surgeries and other routine medical treatments may have to be delayed until blood donations rise to healthy levels. Hospitals are not yet at that stage, but they are closely monitoring the situation, she said. “That’s why this is so critical.” Canadian Blood Services collects about

17,000 units a week across the country, but has been failing to accomplish that in recent months due to higher-than-expected appointment cancellation and no-show rates. “So in order for us to turn that around, not only do we have to meet those 17,000 units a week, but we also have to have an additional 7,500 on top of that to make up the shortfall we have been seeing,” the director said.

Start Packing... You’re Moving!

While the organization recognizes that people lead very busy lives, they are hearing from donors who think that if they don’t show up for their appointment there will be other donors waiting in the wings. “But there isn’t and that’s the issue,” Mullins said. “So if you don’t come in, that unit doesn’t get to the hospital and doesn’t get to the patient.” Some people aren’t donating because they say no one has asked them. “So we’re officially asking,” she said. “It’s really such a wonderful thing that you can be doing – it’s an easy thing that you can be doing – to truly have a direct impact on somebody’s life.” Fifty-two per cent of Canadians say they or someone they know has needed blood or a blood product for surgeries or medical treatments, “yet less than four per cent of the population donates,” said Mullins. Setting aside one hour can make a huge difference. “It’s such a significant gift that you can be giving to find that hour of your time, and in the grand scheme of things isn’t really that hard to do.” To donate blood, visit blood.ca, call 1-8882-DONATE or 1-888-236-6283 or download a free GiveBlood app on your iPhone or Android, which allows users to find a blood clinic location and book an appointment.

If, instead of reacting, we are proactive in our fight against homelessness, the citizens of Ottawa could save money. In fact, the City of Ottawa estimates that we could save $8.4 million annually by investing in permanent housing. To put it another way, it is much cheaper, more resourceful, and kinder to provide supportive housing than to shut people away. The city is making a concerted effort to end homelessness in 10 years, and since 2011 has added additional resources to the effort with its $14 million per year Housing and Homelessness Investment Plan, aimed at adding affordable and supportive housing. We’ve seen significant successes. We need to make sure that the next crop of councillors are equally ambitious and committed to ending homelessness – adding to the HHIP now to get ahead for the long term (see housinganswer.ca for details). Our pocketbook is not the only reason why we should make housing and homeless-

This is why we need to make sure municipal candidates in our wards know that we care about homelessness. Not a single pamphlet left in my mailbox to date has featured housing security in one of its bullet points. We need to change that. The next time a hopeful candidate rings your doorbell, or you attend a debate, ask the would-be councillor about their vision for ending homelessness in Ottawa. Ask them what role they will play in enhancing the HHIP. A day after I wrote this piece I witnessed for the first time three homeless men in my Orléans neighbourhood pushing a shopping cart and meekly going through the trash left on the curb for pickup; wading through our waste for their sustenance. Homelessness is here. Now let’s do something about it. Erin Dej is a volunteer with the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa.

ness central in our local campaign. Many of our neighbours and friends are closer to the brink of homelessness than we realize. The Wellesley Institute calls this kind of housing insecurity “hidden homelessness.” There are three times as many hidden homeless as there are visible homeless in Canada. According to Ottawa Public Health, 15 per cent of homeowners – and nearly 40 per cent of renters – in both urban and rural Ottawa spend more than 30 per cent of their income on housing. This leaves many at risk of being unable to make their mortgage payments if a crisis occurs, such as job loss or illness. Behind the brick and siding of many houses in the suburbs sit sparsely furnished living rooms and empty kitchen cupboards. Each Ottawa suburb has a busy food bank. Poverty and precarious living know no borders. They do not stay within district boundaries. Homelessness is an all too real possibility for many in our neighbourhood.

Opinion - This municipal election, folks living in the suburbs and Ottawa’s rural areas need to take an interest in housing and homelessness. We often think about homelessness as only an issue for the urban core, where most of the emergency shelters are located. It’s not. Homelessness is here. There is reason to be concerned about homelessness in

clines and are more likely to access emergency care, or come into contact with law enforcement. These impacts introduce additional costs, including on our local police and paramedics, who often serve as first responders to incidents arising from homelessness. Providing housing with supports is more cost-effective than simply managing people in need through jails or hospitals.

Ottawa. According to the Alliance to End Homelessness, over 6,700 people used one of Ottawa’s emergency shelters last year, and over 1,800 of those were children and youth. Homelessness is expensive to urban, suburban and rural taxpayers alike. In Ottawa, it costs over $2,000 a month to house one person in an emergency shelter. More than that, when individuals and families are homeless, their health de-

Low-income Ottawans being squeezed at the supermarket Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News – Low-income Ottawa residents are finding it harder than ever to feed their families, according to the findings of an Ottawa Public Health study. The 2014 Nutritious Food Basket survey shows that the cost of putting nutritious meals on the table has increased by 10 per cent in the past year. The findings were released by OPH health promotion manager Sherry Nigro at a food security event Oct. 1 at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum. The rapid rise in food costs, couple with other inflationary pressures, is squeezing individuals and families to the breaking point, said Nigro. “It means that families are paying an extra $80 a year for food,” said Nigro. “If you have to pay for your rent, and pay for your food, then you’re already in a deficit … Many, many families in Ottawa are struggling to make ends meet, and what do you

A house over your head, and the ability to pay for heat. So, where will you squeeze? You’ll squeeze by eating less, or by going to a food bank.” The study is performed by visiting 10 different grocery stores across the city and recording the price of 67 different items, allowing for year-over-

year comparisons. Between 2013 and 2014, the cost of feeding a family of four rose from $789 to $869. For a family supported by Ontario Works or ODSP, this means that 40 per cent of their monthly income would need to be spent on food; however, the high cost of rent (65 per cent of a budget) means families often have to choose to go without heat, electricity, food, or any number of living expenses to make ends meet. Each month, 48,000 people in Ottawa receive emergency food from local food banks. Nigro estimates that one in 10 Ottawa households is food insecure. “Where I want to end this is for all of us, as individuals, as professionals, as advocates, and as community members, to think what this means for us,” said Nigro. “It’s about knowing what resources are out there, it’s about being vigilant and thinking about this through the various lenses … I think each one of us, when we walk out of here, should be thinking of what those implications will be.”

Arnprior fiddler, West Carleton dancer win awards john.carter@metroland.com

News – It took a while, but Arnprior’s Kyle Felhaver is a champion once again. The local fiddler finished first in the highly competitive 19 to 44 age group category at the Pembroke Old Time Fiddling and Step-dancing competition on the Labour Day weekend. The prestigious event attracts competitors from all over the continent. Felhaver wasn’t the only area winner at the Pembroke competition, as several West Carleton youth excelled. Morgan Pleet of Kinburn took first place in the 12-and-under stepdancing class. Charlotte Van Barr was sixth. Charlotte did even better on the fiddle, finishing second in the 12-andunder fiddling competition, edged out by a lad from Uxbridge. Bennett Van Barr of Kinburn was fifth in the 9-and-under fiddling class. The ABCs, a group consisting of Kinburn and Eganville dancers, finished second in the 12-and-under group dancing to a Metcalfe team. Becky Reid of Arnprior was fourth in the open stepdancing competition.

Felhaver, who has students from throughout the area, won the main competition in 1996 and 2000, but while he has often came close since, this year’s triumph was a long time coming. “Winning again proved very illusive,” he noted. But the high level of the competition makes the win extra sweet for the Felhaver, well-known for his performances throughout the area and teaching skills. With so many excellent fiddlers attending and different inclinations of the judges, it’s not surprising that no one fiddler can dominate, he said. Out of the 16 fiddlers in the co-ed competition, four qualified as fina ists to play on the Saturday evening finale. The finalists played a waltz, jig and reel. No matter how many times he competes, he says he still feels some butterflies before going on stage. But once he begins, he’s all business.

year. Felhaver’s students also did well in the Pembroke competition. Katie McLachlan of White Lake was sixth in the 9and-under-fiddling contest. Felhaver said another of his students, Bailey Gresham, played well in the 19-44 class, and Ian Wallace made waves in the 18-and-under competition. “It was an awe-

some weekend,” said Felhaver’s wife, Amy Foley. “He played really well … and so did his students.” September was a busy month for Felhaver. As well as the Pembroke competition, he played the Russell, Renfrew and Richmond fairs, as well as a couple of weddings. Felhaver recently helped kick off the Carp Fair, playing with Gail Gavan at a great Valley hoedown.
