Skeletons appear at health centre West Carleton Health Team plug in new analog X-ray machine ROAD MONEY City’s draft budget includes $340 million for repairs to roads, with 150 projects in rural areas.

LEADER AWARD West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry honoured by city’s Lebanese community.

Some skeletons were spotted at the West Carleton Family Health Team’s (WCFHT) office this Halloween.

A brand new analog X-ray machine was plugged in at the X-ray clinic in Carp on Oct. 31, bought with funds raised by the West Carleton Health Access Foundation (WCHAF), a local non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care in the area.

The clinic’s previous machine was old, ailing, and notorious for breaking down. Although technicians were sometimes able to mend the machine, when it broke down in August, there was no fixing it.

Now, X-ray technologist Sandra Evans said the old machine is right where it belongs. “It’s in the garbage,� she said. “It was no good for anything anymore.�

The old machine was removed, a new floor installed and the walls painted in preparation for the new machine that arrived on Oct. 17. Installation began on Oct. 27, and by Oct. 31, the machine was ready for use.

The purchase of the new analogue X-ray machine marks the completion of phase one in a four-phased project run by the foundation.

The previous machine was stationary and required patients to use a stool to raise themselves onto the table.

Rural roads not forgotten in city’s 2012 budget

Ottawa police budget stays on target LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

‘Ottawa on the Move’ plan for massive road overhauls

The Ottawa Police Service had no trouble staying within the budget increase limit imposed on it by city council.

The police service introduced a draft budget for 2012 on Oct. 26 that would see an increase of $9.3 million over 2011. But with tax assessment expected to grow by $4.1 million, the police will only need an addition $5.2 million, or 2.5 per cent, to meet their budget goal.

“It’s always a challenge to meet a target,” said police board chair Eli El-Chantiry. “This is something we can work with.”

The increase amounts to about $13 per year for an average household, according to a

LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Ottawa was expecting road construction to slow down now that the economic stimulus fund has run out, but thanks to an investment from the city, that won’t be in the case in 2012.

As part of the draft city budget, Ottawa on the Move will put $340 million into roads over the next three years.

The idea is to spend money now to repair roads, instead of spending five times as much five years down the road when they may need to be completely rebuilt.

While city treasurer Marian Simulik said the road projects are needed to ensure Ottawa’s roads can handle traffic disruptions during the construction of the central LRT system starting in 2013, and to stimulate the economy, rural roads were not forgotten.

Rural councillors let out a cheer as Watson announced that more than one third of the 150 planned projects will take place in rural areas.

“This budget is great news to us, across the city but especially in West Carleton,” said Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. “We are the largest ward, so we have the most roads, the most culverts.”

El-Chantiry said he is hearing positive feedback from West Carleton residents about the draft budget’s focus on roads.

“People are always happy to hear it,” the councillor said, adding, “Clearly, the mayor is listening to us.”

The Ottawa on the Move plan means road projects that were planned can be bumped up to be completed sooner, El-Chantiry said.

Ottawa on the Move also in-

police press release.

The police expect to spend $270.3 million on the gross operating budget and $10.7 million on capital projects.

The process was much smoother than last year, when the police service was forced to cut $6 million from the draft budget it planned to present after council decided to impose the 2.5 per cent increase limit.

That meant the planned Ottawa South police station near the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge was delayed indefinitely.

It won’t be looked at again until after 2014.

The cutbacks also meant the police service will curb growth by only hiring officers to replace those who are retiring – not to grow the size of the service.

City bus fare changes on the way LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Scrapping annual and semester passes and hiking the U-pass rate for university and college students are part of a plan to restructure OC Transpo fares in 2012.

Overall, transit fares would go up by 2.5 per cent next year, if the transit commission OKs the draft budget presented on Oct. 26.

Transit boss Alain Mercier said the new Presto passes expected in the spring will do away with the need for annual passes, which were discounted as an incentive for people to front the cost of a year’s worth of passes to keep them out of the lengthy lines to top up monthly passes.

Annual passes only make up four per cent of the passes OC Transpo sells, Mercier said.

The new fare structure also scraps semester passes and makes the annual U-pass per-

manent – along with a far hike.

Those passes will cost university students $180 per semester ($360 per year), up from $290 for the year in 2011-12.

After a year of testing out the U-pass, OC Transpo decided the increased rate will cover the cost of providing that pass, Mercier said. The U-pass is incorporated into tuition for all university students – whether they use it or not.

The suggested fare for the new, flat-rate rural Para Transpo service is $8.25 in the draft budget.

The draft budget also contains an extra $5.5 million to add 66,000 annual hours of service to keep pace with demand on the system. Diane Deans, transit commission chair and councillor for Gloucester-Southgate, said that money is needed to keep up with ridership growth – not to make up for cuts made this September to help save $20 million a year.

The number of buses in Ottawa will go down next year – from

1,023 to 990 – but that’s because OC Transpo will have more large, high-capacity buses.

Some of those buses will be double deckers, but the city will have to wait a bit longer before those arrive. There were three spots where overpasses were going to have to be altered so the taller buses could fit through, but the bus supplier designed a new, “low-profile” double decker that will fit.

But the process of designing a new type of bus is delaying production, so the double deckers won’t begin to arrive until later in 2012.

Next year will also mark the start of a project to add passing tracks to the O-Train to increase service. Trains will run every eight minutes instead of every 15.

By the end of 2012, the city will also have 480 new park-andride spaces – 100 at the new Scotiabank Place park-and-ride and 380 at Trim Road.

Health team unveils new X-ray machine on Halloween The new machine can be lowered to the ground, which helps with knee X-rays, so that patients can now stand on the floor instead of propping their leg up on the table.

Another new feature is a bar for patients to hold onto during chest X-rays.

With an overall fundraising goal of $350,000, the WCHAF has raised about $130,000 so far.

Phase two involves continuing to raise money to digitalize the X-ray machine, converting it from film to digital technology.

The analog machine produces images onto sulfur-treated film that must be developed and diagnosed by a radiologist who reports back to the doctor.

Since the West Carleton Family Health Team doesn’t have an on-site radiologist and is located in a rural community, X-rays have to be couriered to radiologist at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. This involves transportation costs and a long wait time.

Digital machines upload a snapshot onto a computer, allowing doctors to instantly send off an image for inspection.

“By the time the patient leaves the room and gets dressed, the doctor will already have the image in their office,” Evans said.

Once enough money is raised to convert the new machine to digital technology, the third phase involves negotiating with the Queensway Carleton Hospital, as their radiologists will work with the WCFHT’s X-rays.

Finally, the fourth phase will link the X-ray machine’s technology to the Queensway Carleton Hospital so that the images can

1* 216 , 7 , (3 5$7 & $&*,67 : ( 12 7 5 $ 2 )/

be sent instantaneously.

Various fundraising events will take place over the coming months. An evening with Arctic explorer Norm Hallendy, which was originally scheduled for this fall, has been postponed until next spring.

Board members are in the process of planning other future events as well.

June Lemmex is a WCHAF board member who has been fundraising for health care for decades. While most fundraisers normally get the majority of their funds from large businesses, Lemmex said this initiative has been an anomaly.

About 90 per cent of funds raised so far have come from families in the area, she said.

For the past four weeks, Lemmex received a package of quarters from a young boy in the community – his weekly allowance.

While she manned a booth at the recent flu clinic held at the Carp fairgrounds, around 200 people stopped by to ask questions and make donations.

“It’s just so touching,” Lemmex said. “People are so into it.

I thought, ‘Wow. This is why we live here.’”

Waste Management recently made a donation of $40,000 to the WCHAF, and other local organizations have donated smaller amounts of money, but Lemmex said she hasn’t received the response she expected from businesses.

For now, even though the machine hasn’t moved into the digital age, at least the X-ray technicians can get back to work with their brand new machine, Evans said, and continue to serve their clients as best they can.

“It means that our patients

don’t have to into Ottawa for an X-ray, somewhere strange where nobody knows them,” Evans said. “When they go to Ottawa, they’re a number. When they come in here, they’re not a number. They’re a person. I think it makes them feel better.”

The X-ray clinic is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., closing from 12:30-1:30 p.m. each afternoon, and is located at the WCFHT’s office at 119 Langstaff Dr. in Carp.

X-ray technician Joanne Sharp smiles while manning the new X-ray machine that was plugged in for the first time on Oct. 31.

Conservative MPs paid a visit to North Gower on Oct. 25 to announce their government will keep its long-standing vow to end the national long-gun registry.

Pierre Poilievre, MP for Nepean-Carleton, made the announcement at Schouten Corner View Farms, joined by public safety minister Vic Toews, Maxime Bernier, and Candice Hoeppner.

Hoeppner is Toew’s parliamentary secretary, whose private member’s bill to kill the registry nearly passed in the last parliament.

“The long-gun registry adds no security but plenty of red tape,” Poilievre said in an interview.

“It forces firearms owners to fill out forms, pay fees in order to carry out what is already a lawful activity – hunting and farming – and it treats them as though they’ve done something wrong.”

Poilievre said he represents many rural communities, and his constituents overwhelmingly oppose the registry.

Rural Canadians, he said, often use long-guns as part of their way of life, and the registry treats them like criminals.

“We know that criminals don’t register their guns,” he said. “If somebody’s going to commit a criminal offence, they’re not going to stop by a government office on the way and fill out a form.”

Under the bill, which Toews introduced in the House of Commons the same day, gun owners will not be required to register their long-guns.

They will, however, still need a firearm license to buy or keep guns and ammunition.

They will still need to undergo police background checks, pass a safety course, and comply with rules surrounding gun storage and transportation.

The registry, Poilievre said, has cost $2-billion since its inception in 1995.

It costs $22-million to register firearms every year, the “vast majority” of which are long-guns, said a member of Poilievre’s staff.

With the Ending the LongGun Registry Act, Poilievre said his government is demonstrating their will to keep a promise they’ve been making in every election since 1997, thanks to their new majority in the House of Commons.

The bill will also see destroyed all records kept under the registry.

The diagram above shows one option proposed by the City of Ottawa at their environmental assessment open house at Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre on Oct. 26. The environmental assessment is recommending workers fill in the area where the river is now flowing and divert it back to its previous streamline.

SEVEN OPTIONS Option 1: Do nothing. The riverbank would continue to experience the natural process of erosion, but this alternative would not reduce the loss of land or improve public safety.

Option 2: Re-grade and re-vegetate the slope. Workers would decrease the riverbank slope by cutting out a portion of the top and using it to fill in the base. The bank would be re-vegetated by adding layers of brush, which would also protect against erosion.

Option 3: Reconstruct and rip rap the stream bank. Rip rap are basically lots of little rocks which would be placed along the base of the riverbank to protect the land and improve its stability. This option also includes re-vegetating the top of the riverbank with grasses, shrubs and trees.

Option 4: Create a gabion basket retaining wall. The gabian basket technique uses steel wire mesh to create cages filled with rocks, which are used to support the base of the riverbank.

Cover said that the gabion baskets will rust over time and need to be replaced, making the maintenance fee of this alternative fairly high. The top of the riverbank would be re-vegetated and flattened also.

Option 5: Re-grade the slope and add rock deflectors. These deflectors would be rock groynes, or a pile of rocks placed at the base of the eroded riverbank. They would stick out like docks and reduce the speed of the water along the eroding land.

As Cover put it, “They’re speed bumps for water.” In this alternative, the riverbank would also be flattened and re-vegetated with grasses, shrubs and trees.

Over time, the area between the groynes would accumulate sediment and plant material, further deflecting the flow of the river.

Option 6: Partial river channel retraining. Workers would fill in the area where the river is now flowing, and divert it back to its previous streamline.

The strip of land installed to divert the water is called a “fill terrace,” and it would be lined with large rocks. Cover said that in his professional opinion, this is the best option to solve the Carp River erosion issue.

Option 7: Full river channel retraining. The most extreme alternative of the bunch, this option would see the bedrock blasted out beneath the desired river path to make it deeper and easier to cross.

The current river flow region would be filled in to block water from entering and causing more erosion. This option would be the most costly.

All options include the rebuilding of bars along the river – like sand bars, but with deposited materials – that had previously been built but have moved around as the river flow changed.

These bars will be moved to unblock certain areas and help to redirect the water flow in the desired direction.

An environmental assessment has put forward seven options to secure the quickly eroding land along the Carp River near the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre (FHCC).

The City of Ottawa hosted an open house at the FHCC on Oct. 26 to present their options to the public and gather feedback.

About eight metres of land has been washed away from 1999-2008 along a 175-metre strip of the river, and only about one more metre can be lost before affecting the outdoor hockey rink along the edge of the Carp River near the community centre.

Project manager Kevin Cover said that he first came out to observe the river in July, and the EA has progressed quickly since then to deal with the issue.

“Erosion is a natural process,” Cover said. “We need erosion. But when it becomes a safety risk, that’s when it becomes a problem.”

Over the past decade, the river began to flow along a different, lower route that cuts along the shoreline and eats away at the land. What used to be a slope leading down to the water has now become a cliff.

“You wouldn’t want to be standing on the edge of it in the middle of the summer,” Cover said, when the water level is at its highest.

Cover and his team have proposed seven possible options. The one that looks most promising, said Cover, involves a partial river channel retraining, to reroute the water back to the way it originally flowed.

Doing so would involve filling in the lower ground where the water is now flowing from, providing a blockade to reroute the river.

While it would be a fairly expensive solution, it would do minimal damage to the riverside and would cut down on erosion significantly.

“Basically, we’d be redirecting the water and putting it back where it should go,” Cover said.

Karen Taylor is president of the FHCC, and said that she’s glad the problem is being dealt with.

“It’s been slowly eroding for a number of years now,” she said in an interview this summer. “They finally had to do something about it because it’s getting out of hand.”

Public input and comments will be incorporated into the final solution. A detailed study will be released at the end of November, followed by a 30-day review period where community members can still offer feedback.

The final design will be drafted sometime during the winter of 2012, and construction should begin in the summer of 2012.

To submit feedback or learn more about the EA process, contact Kevin Cover at 613-580-2424, ext. 22830 or email him at kevin.cover@ottawa.ca.

In addition to the calls for service, patrol officers are also proactively enforcing the highway traffic laws, responding to false 911 and alarm calls, and assisting the Ottawa fire, paramedics and bylaw services.

FREAK OUT

It’s week 43 and 10 more deer collisions were reported in the rural west region of Ottawa—six in West Carleton and four in Rideau-Goulbourn.

Here is some great information that was passed onto me from a neighbourhood watch member in Kars; thank-you for taking an interest in your community’s health, safety and security. • Cars and deer can be a calamitous combination on the highway. Each year there are approximately 500,000 deer/ auto collisions resulting in over 100 deaths and thousands of injuries. An explosion in the deer population has lead to the increase in deer/car collisions.

The following are defensive driving tips to avoid hitting a deer: - be vigilant in early morning and evening hours, the most active time for deer. • Use your high-beam headlights (only when no traffic is approaching), which reflect in the deer’s eyes, to see the deer better and allow greater reaction time. • Slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten the deer away. • Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path. Do not swerve as it can confuse the deer as to where to run. It can also cause you to lose control and hit a tree or another car. • Be alert and drive with caution when you are moving through a deer crossing zone. - always drive at a safe and prudent speed. • Always wear your seat belt. Most people injured in car/deer crashes were not wearing their seat belt. • Look for other deer after one has crossed the road. Deer seldom run alone. • If your vehicle strikes a deer, do not touch the animal. The frightened animal, in attempting to move, could hurt you or itself. The best procedure is to get your car off the road, if possible, and call the police.�

The total score now stands at 113 to 63 in favor of Rideau-Goulbourn.

Written by Avril Lavigne and performed by a 16-year-old boy from Manotick. His performance was out of control says his parents.

Why you may ask did he freak out?

Well, it’s because mom and dad found his stash of marijuana and took it away from him. Do you think his drug use play a part in his performance? See below for information on the effects of marijuana use.

Parents, how your child will grow into adulthood is greatly influenced by your actions and words. Their behaviours, decisions, and filters are shaped at a very early age and clear and consistent communication between you and your child is critical to help them understand what’s expected of them.

Keep talking, the most powerful tool you have with your teenagers is communication.

The effects of marijuana can vary considerably depending on the concentration of THC and the frequency of use, but may include: hallucinatory experience; relaxation; paranoia; talkativeness; euphoria; depersonalization; in-coordination; slow thinking; and the munchies.

The duration of effects from using this drug can vary from 30 minutes to several hours.

Like any product in the marketplace—quality, supply, and demand will dictate the value of the drug.

TICKET TO RIDE That is, a $65 fine for engaging in a prohibited activity on private property.

Shortly before midnight on Monday a patrol officer was alerted to a vehicle that was illegally parked on private property in the village of Kinburn.

Reports indicated that there was something suspicious going on.

As the officer cautiously made his approach on the vehicle the view through the rear window told him everything he needed to know right at that point in time— the occupants weren’t engaged in any illegal drug or alcohol activity inside of the vehicle. In fact, it was quite clear to the officer what was going on.

Taking on a more relaxed stance, the officer lightly tapped on the window, so as to not cause a huge scene, and politely instructed the young couple to get dressed.

After reluctantly answering the offi-

She described him as a white male in his mid-30s with possibly a goatee or light beard, and a large build. At the time, he was wearing a navy T-shirt and navy shorts.

Police drove through the area but were unable to locate the male.

If anyone can shed some light on this individual please give the West Carleton CPC a call at 613-236-1222 ext. 2982.

THEFT • Oct. 17: 2558 Carp Rd., Carp Business District: Thousands of dollars worth of tools and power equipment were stolen from a Carp business sometime between Oct. 14 and 17.

The unidentified culprits broke into two commercial trucks and a trailer, left secured over the weekend at the rear of building, and made off with a Kabota gas generator, a Honda self propelled lawnmower, a Yardman snowblower, various size chains, and a large red toolbox containing numerous wrenches and sockets.

Budget a win for pedal power

R

oads, transit, taxes, police: the introduction of a city budget is a deluge of information about the way our representatives plan to spend our money this year.

But some things shine through brighter than others. Amongst the splashy additions of road projects and congratulatory back-patting over keeping the tax increase under 2.5 per cent, Mayor Jim Watson boasted about a pretty hefty influx of cash for cycling.

Compared to the $2.8 million per year for cycling included in this council’s first budget for 2011, the city is now set to invest $24 million in cycling over the next three years – including $12.2 million in 2012.

“We will be working hard to fill the gaps in our cycling network to improve interconnections and safety so you can get where you are going by bike,” Watson said in his speech top council when the draft budget was tabled on Oct. 26.

From paving shoulders to finishing the Champagne pathway and construction a pedestrian and cycling bridge over the Rideau River, the draft budget boasts a laundry list of projects to make getting around the city easier on two wheels.

It’s something cycling advocates say they are heartened to hear on the lips of politicians.

And unlike his predecessor, Larry O’Brien, Watson isn’t reticent to hop on a bike himself.

When it comes to city staff, politicians and the National Capital Commission, there was no outspoken supporter for cycling until a trip to Copenhagen a couple of years ago, said Alex deVries, vice president of local advocacy group Citizens for Safe Cycling.

After that, “we could see very quickly a transformation on the part of politicians,” deVries said.

“It’s not just the dollars, it’s in their willingness to make a bold statement like that.”

While the NCC and the city are often seen as being at loggerheads with each other, cycling is the one thing that appears to have brought them together.

City and NCC staff are working together on projects like the Wellington Street segregated bike lane, and there is even a working group that includes community members and meets quarterly.

And if the budget is a reflection of what people – especially politicians – are thinking about, it’s going to be a good year for cyclists.

Just what the world needs – more toys

W

hen someone gives us a new toy, it’s only natural to thank him. When someone gives millions of people new toys, it’s only natural that the world thanks him. And that’s why you’re still reading, weeks after his death, tributes to the late Steve Jobs.

And who can say they’re not deserved?

Although he didn’t accomplish it singlehandedly, Jobs made computing accessible to the average person. Before the MacIntosh computer, you had to be a bit of a geek to function easily in the computer world. The Mac made that world more friendly, which is an important contribution, given the fact that the computer world is now the world.

Whether we like it or not. Many people don’t, but they’re stuck with it and having easy-to-use computers makes their lives more bearable.

However, it’s not the several generations of Apple desktops and laptops that earned Steve Jobs the gratitude of millions. Those weren’t the toys he gave us.

No, the inspiration for all those heartfelt tributes was the creation of the iPod and the iPhone.

Those two small devices were, predictably, snapped up by early adopters and,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town less predictably, by just about everyone else. You can measure how significant that was by thinking back to the year before the invention of the iPod and what you were doing then.

That was the year 2000. Your music was probably on CDs. If you wanted to listen to music while you went for your morning run, you had to carry a bulky portable disc player or, if you were a bit behind, laboriously transfer those discs to tape cassettes to be played on your Walkman.

Or, if you were one of those perhaps fortunate people untouched by technology, you listened to your CDs (or phonograph records) at home and listened to the birds when you went outside.

If someone had told you, in the year 2000, that you would, within the year, be

loading your CDs into the computer and then transferring songs onto a device the size of a deck of playing cards, you wouldn’t have believed it. Now millions do it.

What a toy!

It’s not all good. The advent of the iPod and digitized music generally has caused a crisis in the music industry and made it more difficult for many musicians to earn a living. Fixated on their shiny toys, most people don’t seem to notice.

The impact of the iPhone is more visible. You see it in people on the street who never look up, people in restaurants who never speak to their partners, people who seemingly talk to themselves in shopping centres. You hear it in electronic noises that echo in theatres.

The upside is that people are connected at all times. They need never be out of touch. They can talk to their friends from a forest. They can settle every argument

by Googling the answer from the tavern. The office can contact them at the church. From anywhere, they can get directions to the nearest phone store, in case there’s something newer.

The benefit to humanity is difficult to measure, but no one who has the toy is going to give it up, or stop looking for the

next one.

When you think about it, both these devices, the iPod and the iPhone, are things the world could quite easily get along without. That could be said of most toys.

But what can’t be said about most toys is that the world economy now seems to consist of more and more companies trying to invent and market similar gadgets.

This, in a world that should really be spending its resources bringing fresh water to billions who need it, eradicating diseases such as malaria and creating affordable housing in every country of the world. The world has many pressing needs and builds better phones. Toys are us. That’s probably not what Steve had in mind.

Senator harbours strong dislike for Canadian beaver Once again Beavers have risen into prominence in the media.

This time it is because Senator Nicole Eaton has proposed they be dropped as our national animal (which they have been since 1975) and replaced by polar bears.

Senator Eaton clearly harbours a strong dislike for beavers, referring to them in a recent televised debate with me as “dentally defective rats.”

There are two things wrong in her assessment. Beavers are not dentally defective.

Their incisors are marvels of engineering, slicing through woods as tough as oak. They grow continuously and selfsharpen, a feat made possible because the outer surface contains layers of tough enamel (strengthened by iron that paints them orange) while the inner surface is comprised of softer dentine.

As the teeth work against wood and each other, their components wear differentially, creating a chisel-edge.

Although beavers are rodents, they are not rats.

They reside in their own family, castoridae, while rats belong to muridae.

The two animals are very different. Beavers have webbed feet, flat tails, hold their breath for 15 minutes underwater, and do not spread bubonic plague. Both male and female beavers take part in caring for their young; male rats abandon the females immediately after sex.

Male polar bears also desert female bears after mating, and they kill bear cubs.

On the other hand, beaver males are

MICHAEL RUNTZ Nature’s Way devoted mates, and a pair demonstrates extended parental care with three generations often sharing the same lodge.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper promotes the family unit, which makes beavers worthy ambassadors for Canadian families; at best polar bears represent a dysfunctional unit.

When it comes to the relative importance of polar bears and beavers to the history of our nation, there is no contest.

It was primarily due to beavers that our great country was explored and mapped.

Perhaps Senator Eaton dislikes history, especially when it involves the Hudson Bay Company.

In terms of ecological importance, beavers also win hands down. They build dams and create ponds that support myriad animals and plants.

Without beavers, Canada would have fewer wood ducks, black-backed woodpeckers, great blue herons, bullfrogs, painted turtles, and moose (to name but a few). If we had no polar bears, apart from a few parasites, very few animals would decrease in number.

A couple (seals for one) might even increase.

Beavers regularly clean themselves and their hind feet contain a special grooming comb; Polar bears are often bloodstained and their feet present nothing but claws for concern. Beavers, like all good Canadians, possess a gentle demeanour, peacefully sharing their habitat with virtually all other animals.

Polar bears terrorize their neighbours.

Beavers range across the country, and countless Canadians both young and old have enjoyed observing them first-hand.

Polar bears live in remote regions and not all who encountered one have lived to tell

the tale.

Senator Eaton claimed that beavers hiss at her.

She is likely confusing beavers with some other animal, perhaps muskrats, otters (which do hiss), or her neighbours.

The senator’s apparent ignorance of Canadian animals needs rectification.

She should take a course in natural history.

I happen to know just the course.

Sheep behaving baaadly Accidental Farmwife party guidebook.

Finally, the Farmer found his bullets, loaded his gun, located the coyote (who had waited patiently at the corner of the field) and let ‘er rip. His shot was true.

Moments later we had dinner guests pulling on boots to go and inspect the mangy mutt.

My husband the multi-tasker came in, washed his hands, served the veggies into the chafing dish on the buffet table and began carving the meat. And what was I doing all this time? Playing hostess with the mostest, of course.

Earlier in the week I had done my share of farming, I figure. I came home from a client meeting in Ottawa to a message on the phone from the neighbour: “Your sheep are on the road again.

They have been in and out of the pasture all day.” Great. I took a shortcut through the field and opened the big swing-gate to the pasture before heading out through the bush to the road.

There were my sheep, in two different groups. One was heading up the hill to the neighbour’s house. The other was heading toward County Road 20. I emerged from the forest in the middle

JUDY MAKIN March Rural Community Association

We regularly hear concerns about the rising costs of hydro these days and there is growing interest in the use of solar technology to reduce our dependence on hydro electricity.

At this month’s meeting of the March Rural Community Association we will hear from Tom Levy, a local resident who has lived off the grid in his new home since 2007.

Tom will give a brief introduction into the what, why, when, and how regarding his solar system, and will answer questions from the audience.

At our October meeting we had

a very interesting presentation on a different aspect of solar systems by Dave Gerwing regarding different kinds of solar systems that are being used for the feed in tarriff (FIT) program.

A lively discussion followed, with many questions about the cost, effect of snow on the panels, economic benefits, etc.

We hope to continue this discussion at this month’s meeting, with a focus on the capture of solar energy for home use. We will also elect our directors and executive for the coming year.

Hope to see you on Nov. 9, 7:30 p.m., at the Old Town Hall, 821 March Rd. All are welcome to join us at the meeting.

KANATA SENIORS COUNCIL The Kanata Seniors Council is organizing a Western Ottawa Seniors Summit on Friday, Nov. 25, at the Kanata Recreation Complex.

The all-day event will mirror the format of the Mayor’s Senior Summit, which was held at Ottawa City Hall on Oct. 3, and will provide an opportunity to all those who were unable to attend the forum due to the strict limit on attendance.

“We’re hoping for a good turnout,” said Kanata Seniors’ Council Kay Dubie. “We heard that quite a few were disappointed at not being able to register.

This will provide them with a forum.”

of them. I decided to get the ones headed for the highway first.

I cut through the cornfield, headed them off on the road and managed to turn them back the way they came, waving my arms and making menacing growling sounds.

I’m sure this activity is most confusing to Gracie and the other sheep who know me as the bearer of good things such as sweet corn and apples. But they willingly headed off into the bush. Next, I ran down the road to get the other bunch.

Just as I reached them, the neighbour’s dogs came off the porch, barking.

My sheep turned tail and ran towards me, bleating in fear. I jumped into the ditch and let them pass, hot on the trail of the first bunch of sheep.

Now I had 100 sheep wandering through thorns and brambles in the forest. I could hear them complaining.

I picked my way back through the bush into the field and lured them through the gate very slowly, with a bucket of sweet corn.

The last sheep came through just as Mocha the cow noticed the sweet corn in my hand and came bounding over, tossing her head and hips like a bull in the ring.

The sheep broke out three days in a row last week. They can see meadows and corn fields through weak fences and leafless trees now. I guess this kind of bad behaviour is to be expected until snow covers the ground and sweet hay fills the feeders.

The Farmer had been cooking for more than two hours. A farm-raised chicken and roast of beef sat side-byside in the oven.

My husband ran upstairs, took a shower and emerged well-dressed and refreshed as our first dinner guests arrived.

He poured them each a glass of wine and we all retired to the porch to watch the sheep come in from the pasture on their diagonal, well-beaten path.

A few minutes later the Farmer pointed out the window and said to me (his eyes when his glasses aren’t handy), “What’s that in the middle of the field?

What’s that? Is that a coyote?” My eyes searched the view for what he was pointing at. Suddenly it moved and came into focus.

Camouflaged perfectly against the sandy grass and rocky ground, a young coyote ambled across the field.

Just two days earlier, a bold and brazen coyote came right into the barnyard and stole a fat lamb.

The Farmer had been out hunting in the middle of the night but could not find the thief. Now here it was, at cocktail hour. And the Farmer couldn’t find his bullets.

The entire dinner party gathered at the porch window and yelled out the coyote’s movements as the Farmer ran upstairs and down, searching frantically for his bullets.

Councillor honoured by Ottawa’s Lebanese community El-Chantiry honoured for community leadership COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli ElChantiry was recognized as a community leader by Ottawa’s Lebanese community at an awards ceremony on Oct. 21.

El-Chantiry accepted a trophy after winning the Community Leadership of the Year Award from the Canadian Lebanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Ottawa Section (CLCCI) at their eighth-annual business awards ceremony and gala.

“I was humbled more than anything else,” El-Chantiry said. “I wasn’t expecting them to honour me, I had no expectations whatsoever. Nevertheless, it was really an honour.”

When El-Chantiry was first invited to

attend the event, he declined due to previous engagements.

But CLCCI members insisted he be there, and had to spill the beans that he would be honoured at the ceremony. Needless to say, he rescheduled his plans.

El-Chantiry said he will keep the glass trophy at home.

“Honestly, a lot of people in this community deserve it as much as I do,” he said.

“But it’s nice sometimes to be recognized for the good work we do.”

Marlon Oneid is the president of the CLCCI and was present on El-Chantiry’s big night.

“We couldn’t think of a more deserving individual,” he said. “He’s become a role model for leadership in our community.”

Nominees for the award were chosen Submitted photo by the Lebanese community in Ottawa through various mailing lists that allow West Carleton-March Coun.

El-Chantiry ‘a natural candidate’ for award ELI, from 11 Recipients must be of Lebanese descent and living in the Ottawa or Gatineau area.

Other criteria include activity within the Ottawa-Lebanese community as well as the broader community; promoting economic, social and environmental well-being in the community; developing programs and initiatives for better quality of life; and being an inspiration for community excellence.

El-Chantiry accepted his award in front of over 250 prominent figures in Ottawa’s Lebanese community.

Dr. Clovas Maksoud was also honoured at the ceremony with the Lifetime Achievement

Award. Maksoud was the chief representative of the league of Arab states from 1961-1966.

Luis Abinader was also honoured with a community leadership award for his international political involvement. He is currently running for vice-president in the Dominican Republic.

Oneid said that all the Lebanese churches, mosques and community organizations in Ottawa were well represented at the event.

While Oneid did not have a vote in the recipient selection process, he said that El-Chantiry was a natural candidate for the award.

“Through him as a role model, we promote the involvement of

our Canadian-Lebanese young and old to vote, to participate, to volunteer in political parties and committees, to help on local government issues, and we encourage them to run for office,” Oneid said in his speech congratulating El-Chantiry on Oct. 21.

“He’s definitely the right man to receive the award, and we’re guiding our community to continue its commitment to the Ottawa-Gatineau area and participate in its growth,” he said.

The CLCCI is a non-partisan organization created to enhance economic prosperity and quality of life for Canadian-Lebanese people in the Ottawa-Gatineau area, as well as to create ties between Canada and Lebanon.

Meet the Galetta Community Association

WOLVERINES The West Carleton Wolverines take down a Cornwall Wildcat during the National Capital Amateur Football Association’s semi-final championships on Oct. 30 at Joe St. Denis field in Cornwall. The Mosquito level team’s main running back Clement scored both of the team’s touchdowns during a close game against the Cornwall Wildcats. After putting up quite a fight, the final score was 18-16 for the Wildcats, cutting the Wolverines out of the finals.

That same weekend, the Bantam division of the Wolverines won 15-0 against the East Ottawa Generals, allowing them to advance to the finals on Nov. 3 against the Canterbury Mustangs.

COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

The Galetta Community Association serves the approximately 160 people who live in Galetta, a triangular West Carleton village stretching alongside the Mississippi River and ending between Mohrs Road and Machardy Road.

The community centre used to be located on Galetta Side Road at Russell Hall, a building that has been around since the early 1900s and was the place to be for dancing classes, concerts, banquets and euchre tournaments in the early 20th century.

In 1987, the building was moved to its current location on Darwin Street, with a lawn bowling green added in 1992 and an outdoor rink and sports centre completed in 2000.

When it comes to lawn bowling, Galetta is the place to be in West Carleton.

Their green hosts eight lanes for lawn bowlers, and their esteemed lawn bowling club consistently churns out champions who go on to compete provincially.

The outdoor rink is another source of friendly competition, with games of shinny almost every night in the winter, as well as public skating.

When winter is at its coldest between January and February, the GCA hosts a family fun day with face painting, games, activities and hockey challenges so that families can come together on and around the ice rink.

Last year, the event included a baked bean bakeoff. The year before that, Galettans competed to find out who made the best chili.

In what will likely become an annual event, the GCA hosted a Christmas cookie exchange last year where participants brought three dozen of one type of cookie, and returned home with just as many cookies, but a few of each kind brought by other attendees.

Spratt said that people came from Arnprior, Kinburn, even as far as Renfrew to take part, and that everyone told her they would come again.

Spratt anticipates the second annual cookie exchange will take place in early December of this year.

The small community of Galetta gathers a “dedicated handful” of volunteers, but Spratt said their biggest challenge is attracting younger people.

The majority of the community association members are retired seniors.

“When we do something like our family fun day, we’re targeting younger families,” Spratt said.

“But it’s hard to get the word out when they don’t know we’re doing it.”

Any high school students looking to earn some community service hours are more than welcome at the GCA, Spratt said, but she understands that most of them live very busy lives.

“Kids these days are doing everything, and have time for nothing,” she said with a laugh.

The GCA is always looking for new volunteers of any kind, Spratt said.

To find out more about the GCA or their upcoming events, visit their website at www.galettaca2dotorg.bravehost.com/community_centre.html, or Google “Galetta community centre” online.

Ringette association opens logo contest for provincial championships COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

Local ringette players will shoot for the stars this March as they host the provincial championship games – and if those stars are aligned, they could see their artwork on all the promotional gear for the event.

The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) will host the Provincial Ringette Association’s A division championships from March 15-18 2012.

They are also hosting a logo creation contest, where anyone the association can create a logo based on this year’s theme, “Shoot for the Stars.”

Submission entry forms are available on the association’s website, and must be received by Nov. 15.

Vice-president Dawne Flaborea said that the winning entry will see their artwork transferred onto the event programs and promotional sportswear for

the championship.

The winner will be announced in December.

WORA consists of the amalgamated West Carleton and Goulbourn Ringette Associations who joined forces nine years ago. Now, the association also serves Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Carp and Kanata, and 316 girls are registered this year.

Nine years is still relatively new for a ringette association Flaborea said, but most of the other larger organizations have already hosted the provincial championships, including Ottawa who held the AA championships in February of this year.

“We thought, well, it’s our turn,” Flaborea said. “We might as well jump in.”

Past president Kathy McCaw agreed to spearhead the project and lead the organizing committee.

The first order of business was to choose a theme.

“Usually we like to come up with something that the girls can relate to in terms of achievement and personal growth,” Flaborea said.

It also becomes the dress code for the tournament’s opening ceremonies.

“We’ll get some really imaginative costumes,” she said.

Ringette, which used to be for only females, is now a co-ed sport. Often, young boys will participate on the team as goalies, Flaborea said.

But for the most part, it’s for the girls.

“It’s nice because when the girls play, they’re not just playing their brother’s sport,” she said. “It’s a sport just for them.”

Not to mention the fact that it’s fast.

Really fast. While hockey requires a lot of stick handling, once the ring is looped around the stick, ringette players can focus more on their skating.

Flaborea’s brother is a high school

hockey coach who told her that whenever a ringette player tries out for his team, he knows they will be the best skaters.

“He said he would take a ringette player on his team any day,” Flaborea said.

The provincial championships will be hosted by the WORA, but other ringette associations in the area are pulling together to make the event possible. Multiple arenas will be used to accommodate the many games, including in Stittsville, Carp, Nepean, West Carleton and Ottawa.

To participate in the logo design contest, entries may be dropped off at RinkPro Sports at 6081 Hazeldean Rd. in Stittsville or mailed to P.O. Box 391; Richmond, Ont.; K0A 2Z0.

The Corkery Community Association (CCA) has already begun planning for next July.

Canada Day is their biggest celebration of the year, and president Elaine Menard said they’ve already booked a band for 2012.

But music won’t be the only form of entertainment.

“We have amazing fireworks,” Menard said.

Other items on the agenda include a children’s entertainer, crafts for the kids, an inflatable castle, free cake and coffee, and a barbeque.

Originally titled the Upper Huntley Community Association, the CCA took on its current title after amalgamation when everyone began to refer to them as such. The association didn’t formally change their title until 2004.

The community association serves the social and recreational needs of the more than 3,000 residents in Corkery, a community in West Carleton, an area bounded by Highway 417 and Highway 7 to the east and Golden Line Road and Panmure Road to the west.

Menard said that in recent years, the association has begun to focus more on having continuous weekly events as opposed to sporadic, bigger events.

Community members can stretch out with some yoga on Mondays, tai chi on Wednesdays, and ripen their green thumbs with a gardening club on Thursdays during the summer.

A children’s playgroup meets on Wednesday mornings from 9 to 11 a.m. for preschoolers and their parents, and there are still openings for new families.

The community centre is tucked away at 3447 Old Almonte Rd. in Corkery.

“It’s sort of like this great unknown and when people find it, they’re quite thrilled,” Menard said.

Their new play structure, two soccer fields and a hockey rink are almost always open to the public.

The community centre itself is small, but available to rent for gatherings.

Menard said that with city funding, the association hopes to expand their facilities someday.

Another big event for the CCA is their annual bike safety day in May, where people can bring in their bikes for tune ups, and police officers teach kids the rules of the road.

“Our neighbourhood is rural, but if our kids go downtown with a bicycle, they need to know how to signal and navigate themselves safely,” Menard said.

Every Christmas, the CCA hosts a Christmas tree sale in partnership with Station 84 of Ottawa Fire Services, which is just down the road, although Menard said the firefighters do most of the work.

Operating on a volunteer basis out of a small community isn’t always easy.

“Our main challenge is probably the same as every other community centre – (attracting) volunteers,” Menard said.

“We have a very active, vibrant community but it’s a challenge when we’re trying to expand our services.”

The CCA meets the first Tuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. and Menard said that anyone is welcome to attend.

To learn more about the CCA and their events, visit their website at www.corkerycommunity.ca.

ROBILLARD, Eileen In loving memory of a dear Mom and Grandma who left us here on earth, to join her loved ones in Heaven, November 3rd, 2009.

We do not need a special day, To bring you to our mind, For the days we do not think of you, Are very hard to find.

CLOUTIER In loving memory of a dear daughter, Denise, who passed away on November 6, 2010.

God looked around His garden, And saw an empty place, He then looked down, upon this Earth, and saw your tired face.

So He put His arms around you and whispered, “Come and rest.”

God’s garden must be beautiful, Because He only takes the best.

Always remembered and loved, Mom, Maudella Scheel

You were always true and patient, Through the years you struggled on, And those hands that rest forever, Made the home that now is gone.

We love and miss you everyday, Pam, Jim, Joshua, Austin, and Alexandra CLOUTIER, Denise November 6, 2010 Thank you Mom, for teaching me to find the silver lining on every dark cloud that comes my way.

Missing you everyday.

Love from Tabitha, Olivia, Sophie and Ashley GREENE, Percy November 04, 1983

Nightingale, Harold Feb. 15, 1934 – Oct. 30, 2011 Quietly at home after a courageous 43 year battle with cancer, attended by his loving wife of almost 25 years, Josina Van Dyk. Survived by his sons Bryan and Jeff, and his grandchildren Jesse, Shawn, and Cole; all of whom will deeply miss his love, support and gentle coaching in their lives. Also survived by his sister Pat, and brothers Albert (Ab) and Noel and by Joyce Nightingale, the mother of his children; his nieces Cathy, Carol, and Tammy; his nephews Ken, Ryan, Mike, and Randy. He loved Josina’s brothers and sisters as his own, and they too will miss him greatly. Following a rich and satisfying engineering career with the Royal Canadian Navy, General Foods, W.R. Grace, Eatons, and Canada Post, he obtained an M.A. Economics to start a new career in marketing with Canada Post and Statistics Canada. Always a sports enthusiast he played football and rowed in high school; was the Canadian University Welterweight Boxing Champion; taught swimming, canoeing and sailing for Toronto YMCA; was a professional ski instructor and coach for 20 years and played soccer and hockey until he was 72 years old. Both he and Josina enjoyed motorcycling and took extensive trips. Until his death he continued to canoe at their home on the Ottawa River. He once said, “Give me a canoe I can love and a paddle I can trust, and I will be content.” He will be missed by his team mates, friends, and neighbours. Friends may call at the Garden Chapel of the Tubman Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Road, Nepean (between Bayshore and Baseline Road) on Friday and Saturday, November 4 & 5th, 2011 from 2- 5 pm, and on Sunday, November 6th, 2011 from 12 noon until service time in the chapel at 1 pm.
