EMC News – A list of cuts to the way the Ontario government provides services is a good start, but a local MPP thinks the Drummond report could have cut deeper. “Based on what I know‌I think it is a pretty good report.

It focuses on the big things like health care and education as it should,� said CarletonMississippi Mills Progressive Conservative MPP Jack MacLaren. “It does not throw the baby out with the bath water, so the speak, but there are certainly a lot of tough decisions and a lot tough goals to meet to eliminate our deficit and start working on our debt...

I think it could have gone a little further.�

It was Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty who appointed the Commission on the Reform of Ontario’s Public Service in March 2011. The chair of the commission, former TD Canada Trust senior vicepresident and chief economist Don Drummond, delivered the much-anticipated report Feb. 15.

The 600-page Drummond report contains 362 recommendations on how the provincial government can deal with the debt crisis. The commission has put forth key recommendations based on limiting provincial spending growth to 0.8 per cent annually through to 2017-18.

The report predicts that if current government spending remains unchanged, the province’s deficit will brow to $30 billion and its debt will be $411 billion by 2017. “We are at a point where we have no choice. We have to face the music and pay the bills,� MacLaren noted. “I like a lot of what is in this report.�

In health care, the MPP says he is allowing for a spending increase up to two and a half per cent but only up to 2017.

He is in favour of putting more power into the LHINs. “The reason for that, as I understand it, as that LHIN’s are local bodies and more power and more authority to study and look for efficiencies or inefficiencies and to decide where the appropriate See MACLAREN page 3

and best use of health care dollars should go,” MacLaren offered.

Getting people out of hospitals that don’t need to be there must and they should be cared for at home, in nursing homes or in other ways, he added.

“The hospital is the most expensive way to care for people,” MacLaren noted, adding better quality home care will go a long way and be more cost effective.

In terms of education, the Drummond report recommends “one per cent maximum growth to the year 2017, he calls for the cancellation of the full-day kindergarten program. Right now that is just a plan but it is a $1.5 billion plan – a huge expense. Basically what he is saying we can’t afford to by that right now.”

He is, however, disappointed with the Liberal gov-

Carleton Mississippi-Mills MPP Jack MacLaren says it is time to make cuts to reduce the province’s debt and deficit, just as the Drummond report recommends. ernment’s take on that recommendation.

“What the McGuinty government is saying right now is they won’t comply with that

recommendation. I would say that is a mistake,” MacLaren stated. “Full day Kindergarten sounds like a great idea that everybody wants but maybe we wouldn’t say no, but maybe not yet. Wait until 2017 and if we can get our financial affairs in order, and everyone wants it and we can afford it, then we should go ahead with it.”

MacLaren supports increase elementary class size to 23, a move that will save $600 million. He did wonder why Drummond did not go to an even higher number.

Also in education, the Drummond report also calls for the cancellation of 70 per cent of the nearly 14,000 nonteaching employees.

“That sounds like a big, big, number but I sure he studied that. Some of those nasty pills have to be swallowed.”

He applauded the recommendation that would require

students to pay for high school after they have completed the required 32 credits. Universities will get one and a half per cent increase in funding.

“I was surprised he did not cancel the 30 per cent tuition grant for post secondary education,” he said. “I don’t think we can afford that. I would have cancelled that.”

With regard to collecting taxes on contraband tobacco sales, MacLaren said most people believe this should be happening.

MacLaren said he was disappointed there was no recommendation for a public sector wage freeze, the sale of crown corporations, implementation of pro-growth policies or the cancellation of the Green Energy Act. “I understand the LCBO could sell for as much as $10 million. Well that would cover our interest payment for one year on our debt. That is a lot

But the owners won’t be allowed to expand the way the islands are used or build new structures, because the islands sit so slow in the Ottawa River that they are at high risk of flooding, city staff found. Parts of the islands were flooded when environmental staff visited the islands, and water-loving plants dominated the land, even in the centre of the islands.

Having some restrictions placed on the is-

men to hire one tradesman.

“We have contractors who have been complaining about this restriction for years. They want to hire young people, but unions say no,” said MacLaren, adding a Conservative government would change that ratio from three to one to one to one to create more jobs.

“Overall the Drummond report looks great. I think he could have gone a little further and should have. Certainly everyone is looking for the bitter pill,” He said. “I think Drummond has written a pretty good report. He has found the problem, identified solutions, and says you have to do these if you want to get rid of the deficit by 2017.”

of money,” MacLaren noted, adding selling the Ontario Lottery Gaming Commission and the casinos should be sold off as well.

“My view as a Conservative is that if there is job out there that the private sector can do, they should be doing it. Governments should definitely not be in business,” he noted.

In the final analysis, MacLaren said the Conservatives will be looking to hold the Liberals feet to the fire to implement the report’s recommendations and get Ontario back on track.

He also took issue with the current requirement in the construction trades which calls for having three journey-

“If you live (near) those islands or if you have a camp there, this is a no-brainer. Sometimes we put things in place to prevent it becoming commercialized,” El-Chantiry said.

“Some of the use will always continue, to be honest with you,” the councillor said, adding residents haven’t been expressing any concerns to him about the change.

EMC News – Now that the bill to end the gun registry has passed the House of Commons, Gordon O’Connor said the long-contentious issue should expire before the summer break.

“It has to go through the (Conservative dominated) Senate for three readings,” said O’Connor, CarletonMississippi Mills MP. “I can’t see it going past the summer recess.”

Critics say the Conservatives could have moved more quickly on dismantling the registry, but it has been an effective tool to rally core supporters and drum up campaign donations.

But Bill C-19 hasn’t been divisive in the rural-suburban riding. O’Connor’s heard from a few angry rural long gun owners, but not anyone hotly opposed to ending the registry.

As for it serving to solve inner city gun violence,

O’Connor said the registry was “basically a useless placebo” that interfered with hunters’ right to own long guns, borne of a Liberal attempt to “appear to be taking action” after the 1989 Montreal massacre of 14 women by a gunman with a rifle.

“I don’t think a tragedy like that is preventable,” he said. “It’s like what we’ve been saying for many years, a criminal or unbalanced person isn’t going to register their guns.”

Women’s safety proponents say many of the Montreal victims could have been saved if guns were less pervasive, and that rural women are in greater danger if long gun sales are allowed to rise.

O’Connor said he isn’t aware of statistics showing rural women who’ve died from long guns is greater than by other means. But he suspects little will change.

“I guess anything’s possible, I don’t know the statistics,” he said. “It’s not likely

to change the statistics. I don’t think it will.”

As for the government’s plan to destroy all related records, a move Quebec plans to file a lawsuit to prevent, O’Connor said it shouldn’t come as a surprise. He doesn’t begrudge the Liberal government in Quebec doing whatever it needs to do to keep the records, but didn’t indict he is worried about losing in court. His party has run multiple elections on a promise to abolish the entire program.

“It’s not a shock to people: we are only doing what we said we’d do.”

He favours destroying all records because they are, in his opinion, out of date and inaccurate.

As a strategic move that may have cost votes in Quebec, O’Connor doubts that is the case. He said rural people in largely progressive province are just as opposed to the long gun registry as elsewhere in Canada.

But he denies that quash-

ing the program will relax the rules, saying an almost 100year-old law restricting hand guns won’t be affected.

LONELY AT THE TOP O’Connor admits that his party is facing a very different scenario now that it has a majority. The Conservatives have to stand by its record come next election, and opposition parties are free to oppose as vigorously as they want.

The bill restricting refugee claimants ability to appeal, the bill to limit Internet freedoms in a bid to curb child pornography – which appears to have galvanized opposition from sectors – among other proposals, has O’Connor feeling the weight.

“It does mean a lot rests on our shoulders,” he said. “We can’t say we share it with other parties. The can oppose, oppose, oppose and influence public opinion. And we have to keep abreast of what’s going on out there, too.”

EMC News – A run which generated support for military families and grew beyond expectations is no more.

On Feb. 6, in an open letter on the Commissionaires Ottawa website, organization CEO Paul Guindon announced the 5th annual Run for Military Families would not be taking place. The event had been scheduled to take place May 3-4.

The event, which Commissionaires Ottawa sponsored, was designed to raise awareness and funds in support of the Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre (PMFRC), a non-profit agency located at CFB Petawawa. The event saw participation from the base members, including the base commander himself as well as members of communities the run passed through.

Guindon praised the event and expressed gratitude to all those who have volunteered, participated or supported the run.

“There are several reasons that individually, did not challenge our commitment to organize and sponsor this

year’s event, but factored together, they have convinced me that is it not too late to turn a new page and focus on other ways to give back to the military community in 2012 and beyond,” Guindon wrote.

“Please be assured that funds raised so far will be presented to the military family resource centres in Petawawa and the National Capital Region, and we look forward to future collaborations to raise awareness about the important work they do in support of military families.”

RUN GREW The run grew steadily from its first outing in 2008. It traditionally began with a kick off at the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill and the running convoy made brief stops along the way to in various communities to acknowledge support of donors, school veterans, Legions and military families. Fundraisers with donation boxes were located at all stops along the way.

Stops over the years have included locations in Kanata and West Carleton as well

as the Township of McNab/ Braeside, Town of Renfrew, Township of Whitewater Region and the Town of Arnprior. The run continued up the Valley, crossing the finish line at the Red Friday Rally hosted by Red Friday Ladies Lisa Miller and Karen Boire in Pembroke.

Based on the huge turnout for the Arnprior event, Miller and Boire were actually special guests as last year’s rally in Arnprior. The 2011 event also had its own Facebook page.

“It has been a good run, literally, and I am grateful for the tireless efforts of hundreds of volunteers, staff, organizers, guest speakers and runners – too numerous to mentioned but individually appreciated,” Guindon wrote in his open letter.

In a separate statement to this newspaper, he elaborated further on his statement on the website.

“The Run for Military Families was a very special event that took on a life of its own and grew beyond anyone’s wildest predictions. The organization of this event was carried on the backs of a not-

for-profit company and hundreds of volunteers. For four years, we found resourceful ways to give 100 per cent of donations and the majority of corporate sponsorship contributions to the Military Family Resource Centres, plus a $10,000 donation from Commissionaires Ottawa,” Guindon noted. “Although the concept and our approach was unique and well-received, the organization of an event that linked seven different municipalities and had grown so rapidly risked becoming a year-round commitment - and that’s time and resources spent above and beyond everyone’s day jobs.”

He emphasized his organization would continue to fundraise and increase awareness but it was time a new direction was taken.

“Although our decision to cancel this event was very difficult, Commissionaires Ottawa and many of our volunteers are already looking at different ways to spread out our fundraising and awareness efforts throughout the year rather than try to squeeze it all into two days,” Guindon concluded.

When fences are good for the neighbours

A

dip in the backyard pool is a summer ritual for thousands of city residents.

Jumping in the water for a little tomfoolery or maybe to swim a few lengths is a mental distraction. It’s natural that while having fun, we don’t spend time mulling over the risks associated with the activity.

But back on dry land it’s worth considering the dry

facts.

The city issues as many as 900 permits for new pool enclosures each year. The permit system and associated bylaws are there to prevent tragedies.

Residents with outdoor pools must install fences that keep neighbouring children out of the water.

The city is now considering an upgrade to that requirement. New rules being con-

sidered would require fences to be designed so they are more difficult to climb. Gates leading to the pool will have to be kept locked.

The greatest change being discussed would see all new pool enclosures separate the pool from the house.

Today a young child living next door to a pool has physical barriers keeping them from wandering into danger.

By adding a requirement

for fencing between pool owners’ homes and their own pools will be seen by some as intrusive, but the payoff will come in lives no longer lost to drownings.

Too often young children end up in pools, dead or close to it. A fence seems a small price to pay.

Sometimes it’s a child who lives in the home who ends up out of sight for mere moments, only to be found

floating in the backyard pool.

In Ottawa we’ve seen children drowned while visiting the home of family or family friends.

Seeing a distraught father taking an axe to a pool after losing a young son can quickly convince a bystander that tighter rules can save lives.

The intrusive aspect of four-sided pool enclosures should be measured against other safety legislation we

have come to accept.

Many years ago, when the province required people in cars to wear seat belts, some may have grumbled about their freedom, but we adapted.

Motoring deaths have dropped because we follow the law.

The new “four-sided” requirement will not force existing pool owners to upgrade, but all of them should

Laissez-faire parenting BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

I

f we could all be a little more like parents in France, our infants would sleep through the night, our children would eat their vegetables, and we’d all be having great post-natal sex with our spouses. These are just some of the conclusions found in a new book, Bringing up Bebe: One American mother discovers the wisdom of French parenting.

Author Pamela Druckerman is an American journalist living in Paris with her husband and three young children. After spending years observing French parenting culture through an expatriate lens, she has documented some of their laissez-faire parenting customs from which, she says, we can all benefit. Druckerman contrasts the child-centric American style of parenting with the more relaxed philosophy of the French, who seem to fit children into their lives, rather than the other way around.

She says a lot of it starts in-utero. While North Americans preach abstinence of alcohol, caffeine, and warn against “the most minute risks, like getting a manicure,” Druckerman says the French are much less obsessive over whether a little bit of unpasteurized cheese will hurt the baby. “The attitude isn’t that every bite of food you take is going to determine whether your child is accepted to Harvard Law School,” Druckerman told Macleans magazine.

There are some great takeaways from the book. I am a huge advocate of what Druckerman describes as “the Pause,” a sleep-training method used by French parents on babies as young as a few weeks old. Rather than jumping at baby’s every cry in the night, French parents wait a minute or two to see if the baby

will connect its two-hour sleep cycles together on its own. Druckerman says many French babies sleep through the night by two or threemonths-old. (In hindsight, sheer exhaustion – the inability to respond to baby immediately in the wee hours of the morning – helped me to employ this method inadvertently on my own two children, who slept through the night at three and four-months-old, to the envy of my neighbours and friends).

Druckerman also notes children in France are expected to eat the same food as adults, and they are not allowed to snack between meals.

Druckerman points out that, as a result, French kids are more likely than their American counterparts to eat their vegetables at meal times because they’re actually hungry.

Admittedly, I already practice some of the apparent French methods Druckerman describes. I could be accused, however, of being overly interventionist (and typically North American) when it comes to my children’s intellectual stimulation. While French parents are more likely to sit on the periphery of a playground, for example, and socialize with other adults as their children play on slides and climbers, Druckerman says moms like me tend to be “wheeing” and “ awing” at every move my child makes. I’ve become a bit more relaxed as my children get older, but it’s worth noting that, as a result of their less interventionist behaviour, French parents are able to expect less interruptive behaviour from their children.

And finally, there’s the sex. It may be a bit controversial here, but French women feel no obligation to breastfeed beyond a few months, unless they enjoy it, says Druckerman. Many partake in state-sponsored post-natal classes, which help women tighten up pelvic muscles after childbirth.

It’s unusual for women to stay home fulltime with children. Druckerman says three months seems to be the “magic number,” by which point most women are expected to get their pre-natal identities back, including returning to work and fitting into their skinny jeans.

Algonquin Provincial Park’s very own East Side Story EMC Lifestyle – Last Monday I led a group of my ornithology students from Carleton University to the East Side of Algonquin Park.

Our goal was to see northern birds such as Gray Jays, Black-backed Woodpeckers and crossbills and other finches. The weather could not have been much better: clear blue skies and sunshine dominated, and the temperature hovered above zero.

For those who have not been there, Algonquin’s East Side is very different from the West Side, which is hilly with hardwood forests covering the slopes. The East Side is smothered with pines, the difference in dominant forest largely due to the park’s geo-

logical past.

The West Side received moisture-trapping till when the glaciers melted while the eastern region, which receives less precipitation because of a slight rain-shadow effect, were laden with sand plains deposited by a massive glacial river. The result is a very different forest across the Park.

Both regions of Algonquin, however, display a fringe of spruce, fir, and tamarack around low-lying wetlands.

Coniferous forests can be alive with seed-eating finches if the cone crop is good. Red Crossbills love White Pine seeds while White-winged Crossbills prefer the seeds inside the smaller cones borne by spruces. As reasonable

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way

numbers of White-winged Crossbills have been reported on the West Side this winter, our group had expectations that both species would be in abundance on the East Side.

Our first stop was beside a Tamarack-Black Spruce peatland near McManus Lake.

After a bit of bird calling, several Gray Jays and two Black-backed Woodpeckers came in, providing everyone with fine views. However, all finches declined the invitation to make an appearance.

Next, we walked the Barron Canyon Trail. For those who have never been to the canyon, it is one of the natural wonders of eastern Ontario.

The towering cliffs that arise from either side of the narrow

Barron River inspire awe in all seasons.

On our outing, warm updrafts from the canyon inspired Common Ravens to soar overhead. Jon Ruddy, a Carleton undergraduate with exceptional birding skills, spotted a Northern Shrike flying up the canyon and later relocated it perched atop a pine tree a good kilometre away on the far side.

As we finished the trail, we finally encountered a group of finches, mostly Common Redpolls with a few Pine Siskins and three Whitewinged Crossbills. The birds flew away as soon as we saw them, so no good views were enjoyed.

Eventually another flock of

redpolls was found feeding on Tamarack seeds, but they also flew away as soon as we spotted them.

By day’s end, no other finches and no Red Crossbills had been found, the paucity of cones on the White Pines undoubtedly the reason for the latter.

As the sun vanished for the day, we worked our way back out of the Park, stopping to “squeak” for predatory animals at every pond. At one of them, a Red Fox came bounding across the ice, providing us with another unforgettable memory from the East Side of Algonquin.

EMC News – In keeping with a mandate to improve the lives of residents of Constance Bay, a resident-led task force is helping to organize some important workshops.

The Bay Community Connection (BCC), in partnership with the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association (CBBCA), and Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC), will be holding several public workshops at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association (CBBCA) community centre. Meetings are taking place on Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. and the hope is that community members will attend.

“We wanted to focus our initial efforts on seniors,” explained Bay Community Connection liaison Bruce Gordon.

“Seniors are a vulnerable group in our community.”

The group, which was formed in mid-2011, created an online survey for seniors in Constance Bay and it was the results of that survey that led to creation of the workshop that are planned.

“A lot of these workshops

are directly related to seniors.

The plan is to offer those (workshops) across the board on a variety of issues,” Gordon noted.

WORKSHOPS The first workshop took place this past Tuesday and was entitled ‘Reaching Out to Isolated Seniors’. Marjorie Milloy, from ROTIS (Reaching Out To Isolated Seniors) discussed the best ways to identify, reach out, and support seniors that might be experiencing isolation in our rural community.

On Feb. 28, the topic is ‘Violence Against Senior/Rural Women’. The peer supporters group is a WOCRC volunteer program created to offer women, especially survivors of violence, an opportunity to work individually and collectively to end violence against women.

Members of the peer support program will be giving a presentation that looks at violence against female seniors, and violence against women in rural areas. There will be significant information and resources shared at this presentation.

On March 6, the topic is

‘Food Issues with staff from the Good Food Box’. Natasha Braunstein from the Good Food Box (GFB) will be discussing how the GFB program works. The discussion may turn to a general discussion on community food issues and food bank access. Resources and information sharing will be in abundance.

On March 27, the workshop topic to be covered will be ‘Technology and Youth Mental Health’. Julia Valley, Youth Community Developer from the Western Ottawa CRC, is curious; does your teen have a cell phone, a video game system, or another type of Internet access?

Interested community members will want to attend to find out more about safety, cyber-bullying, sexting, and the impacts of technology on mental health. Resources and information sharing will be in abundance.

“We want to be seen as being a useful resource for the whole community,” Gordon explained.

He noted the plan for the future is to focus on youth issues in the future and offer workshops geared towards those issues.

Local Investors Make Big Money Investing in Real Estate Without Touching a Screwdriver NICK KARADZA Real Estate Author and broker A real estate brokerage has been helping investors profit from investing in nice homes by offering a free real estate report entitled, “How to Make $112,284 Each & Every Year Investing in Real Estate without Touching a Screwdriver” According to Sharon, who purchased three investment properties with-in two months after receiving the report: “It’s my opinion, that anyone who is interested in investing in real estate should request a copy of this report.

This report provides beginners or experienced investors information on a system that will help them succeed in investing in real estate.”

In this report, you actually get to see local investors who used this system to change their lives.

One of those investors is a couple named Paul and Maja. According to the couple, “We started investing in properties using the strategy outlined in this free report in the fall of 2011.

We accumulated 2 homes in less than

four weeks that combined are paying us just under $1,100 of cash flow each and every month. Plus we have locked in more than $112,557 of profit’’.

The couple stated that the homes they invested in were “in move” in condition so they didn’t have to spend their evenings and weekends fixing up homes.

Paul and Maja liked this approach because it didn’t require them to have the financial risk of having to pay the mortgage, taxes and insurance costs for a property during a rehab project.

The approach seems to be working because they are planning to leave their high paying jobs! To get a copy of the same FREE report Sharon, Paul and Maja used to begin their real estate investing, call the Ottawa Real Estate Information Center at 613-6992036 and enter ID 2.

Digital mammography campaign chair Kimberly O’Shaughnessy, above, officially launches the fundraising effort.

EMC News-The Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital Digital Mammography campaign may have just launched, but with money in the pot and several key people behind it, it is already shaping up to be a good one.

Digital mammography is the latest technology in terms of early breast cancer detection, explained Dr. Frank Lee, associate professor at the University of Ottawa, a radiologist at ADMH and the Ottawa Hospital and the head of the Ontario Breast Screening Program at ADMH. He was

speaking at the official launch of the campaign at the hospital Tuesday.

“As a radiologist I very excited about this piece of equipment. It really is one of the best screening tools we can provide women and men,” said Dr. Lee.

the latest technologies, like a digital mammography unit,” said Kyte, a wife and mother of two.

The machine costs in excess of $600,000, said Eric Hanna, president and CEO of ADMH, who introduced the campaign chair Kimberly O’Shaughnessy, marketing manager for Island View Suites.

“We found someone with a marketing background who is already invested in the community,” said Hanna.

“She has already proven herself to be a go-getter and a strong leader.”

The campaign goal is to raise 600,000 by October and the ADMH foundation is looking to the members of the community to raise $400,000 of that total, said O’Shaughnessy.

A team of hardworking, dedicated volunteers quietly working in the background since past summer has helped to bring the total to $300,000, she announced.

Thermometers on the hospital grounds and on Daniel Street will track the fundraising efforts.

O’Shaughnessy thanked the groups, business and individuals who have already contributed to the total and urged the community to continue to help in any way possible.

“I encourage you to get out there, host events, donate and let’s work together to make this dream a reality,” she said.

3/4 tsp. cinnamon 2 3/4 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast 3/4 cup raisins 1 egg yolk 2 tbsp. water Place the water, sugar, salt, cinnamon, flour and yeast in the bread machine in the order given.

It’s important that the cinnamon doesn’t touch the yeast, because it can prevent the yeast from working properly.

Start the bread machine on the Dough Cycle. Add the raisins when the machine beeps for the addition of ingredients, or during the second kneading if your machine has no indicator.

When the dough cycle has finished, turn it out on a lightly floured surface.

Pat the dough down, and cut it into 2 pieces. Set one portion aside.

Take the other portion, and

roll it back and forth on a lightly-floured surface, shaping it into a loaf about 12” long and about 2” high.

Try to keep it the same thickness throughout.

Set this loaf on a greased baking sheet, leaving room beside it for the next one.

With a sharp knife, make 3 to 4 diagonal cuts in the top of the loaf about 1/4” deep.

Repeat the shaping and cutting with the second portion of dough, then set it on the baking sheet too.

Cover the loaves with a damp tea towel, and let them rise for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in height. Once the dough has risen, remove the cloth.

Stir the egg yolk and water in a small cup, mixing them well, then brush each loaf with this egg glaze.

Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm, or cool on a rack before freezing.

Makes two loaves.

EMC Lifestyle – Have you ever bought a cookbook for bread machines, you’ll know that there are lots of recipes that don’t use the machine for the whole bread-making process.

While they start in the machine, once the dough is ready, it’s taken out of the machine, shaped, then baked in the oven.

These are the recipes that are fun to make.

If you’ve never worked with dough before, the baguette is a great way to start. This simple shaped loaf is really just a long, thin version of French bread. All you have to do once you take the dough out of the bread machine is roll it, let it rise, then bake it.

This recipe for cinnamon raisin baguettes is easy to make.

The finished loaves have the chewy texture of a French loaf with the wonderful flavor of cinnamon and raisins.

The recipe makes two loaves, and you can freeze one.

Where to hide on the big bad wolf?

EMC Lifestyle - In my halfasleep state the other night I thought I heard Chelsea the sheepdog barking in the barnyard but I wasn’t completely lucid so I just went back to sleep.

Some time later, at about three in the morning, Cody started barking, this time directly under my window. That got me up.

I lifted the blind and looked out the window. Cody’s nose was pointing north, toward the back field. I quickly tiptoed to the other room to get a better look. A full moon glowed down on the pasture. And there were three huge coyotes, truckin’ across the field on a diagonal, toward the barnyard—and my sheep.

I pushed the window open, clapped my hands loudly and shouted at the coyotes. They turned and shot out of sight.

In my panic I had scared them back into hiding - and probably woke everyone in the house.

Actually the Farmer was still asleep, on his good ear.

My sneaking back into bed woke him. I told him about Wile E. Coyote and friends.

“Why didn’t you wake me?”

He said, as he swung his legs out of bed and pulled on his jeans.

I decided to accompany him, to be his lookout. We dressed warmly, almost too warmly for the night. We didn’t turn any lights on as we collected what we needed for the hunt.

The light would tip the coyotes off but we didn’t need it anyway; the moon was so bright.

The Farmer had seen coyote tracks in the barnyard recently, so we had been leaving the horse and donkey out all night to scare them away. On

this night, however, the sheep were all sleeping around the feeders on their bed of hay and the bigger animals were nowhere in sight.

Just then we heard the clop clop of hooves on ice. The horse and donkey emerged from the barn, where they had no doubt bullied the sheep for the best sheltered sleeping spots.

This is how my sheep get broken ankles; the horse crowds into their space and steps on them by accident. I brought this to the Farmer’s attention. “Some watchdogs they are,” he commented.

We did see the pack of coyotes again that night, but they were moving too quickly behind the trees for a good shot.

The Farmer swears that in that light, if I had only woken him when I first saw the pack, he would have hit at least one.

We decided to open up the interior room of the barn, most recently vacated by the calf and cow, for the sheep to use.

They could go in there for shelter and safety, and the short door meant the horse and donkey could not follow.

The next night, sheep were safely and happily holed up in the barn, and the horse and donkey were guarding the door. In the morning, one of the fattest of the sheep was firmly stuck in the hay feeder.

They get stuck often, and don’t have the strength, energy or coordination to get

themselves back out.

The Farmer tried tying a rope around her and pulling, but she just lay there like a lump, firmly stuck.

I climbed into the feeder, wiggled under her hind end and pushed up until he could pull her out. This, I thought, is how farmers have heart attacks.

On the way back to the house the Farmer told me that he had seen a sheep with blood around her neck.

She had obviously gone a few rounds with the coyote before he was interrupted by the donkey and she wriggled loose.

Those coyotes are fourlegged, mangy vampires. They always go for the neck.

We can’t be out there all the time, keeping our animals from harm.

Hopefully they will have the sense to head for shelter when night falls or when the horse and donkey spot a coyote. I’ve seen them standing stock still, my two sentries, staring off into the distance.

The sheep were staring in the same direction, so they must have been communicating danger to each other. I followed their gaze, without moving a muscle, and watched the quiet field for more than a minute before I suddenly saw what they were watching. A lone coyote stepped down from his perch on the stone fence and loped back across the field to his den.

If finding activities close to home or work is your priority, try neighbourhood March Break camps with games, sports, arts and crafts and special events, offered across the city. For new skill development, check out the extra special camps in computer, magic or rock climbing.

Eaton’s catalogue a source of excitement, many uses EMC Lifestyle - “Any day now,” Audrey said, peeking into the mail box at the end of our long winding lane. For days, walking home from the Northcote School, with anticipation, Audrey checked the mailbox. It was yet to appear. “What’s taking it so

long?” I wanted to know.

“Don’t be so impatient. It will be here in its own good time.”

What we were waiting for, was the new issue of Eaton’s Catalogue.

As regular as clock work, and as the seasons changed,

Mary Cook’s Memories

BY MARY COOK

we could count on it arriving by mail.

The last copy was thickened from constant page turning, and it would await its next fate as soon as the newest edition came into the house.

Finally, it was there.

Crammed into the tin mail box. Audrey and I ran all the way home through hardened snow, through the bush, never stopping until we reached the kitchen door.

My sister wouldn’t let me carry it...not even for a few feet, in case I dropped it, and got it wet.

Mother was as excited as we were, and even though she was preparing supper, she stopped long enough to take a look at the cover, and ordered us to wash our hands before we got down to the real job of looking it over.

“Just put it over there on the top of the ice box until you have redded up the kitchen,” she said.

Supper was a hurried meal

that night. After all, great things loomed ahead! And Audrey and I had the kitchen redded up in jig time, with the oil cloth covered table wiped , and then dried with a clean flour bag tea towel to make sure it was perfectly dry. After all, it would never do to get a spot on the catalogue when it was this new!

The coal oil lamp was lit and moved to the centre of the table, and Audrey and I took our places on the long bench against the back wall.

Audrey always appointed herself the page-turner. She accused me of crimping the corners, and goodness knows, the catalogue had to serve us until the next one came out months later.

PAGE TURNER My sister and I had this game we played with Eaton’s catalogue. We could each pick one thing off each page, and we took turns picking first, allowing ourselves only

of binder twine. It was then taken out to the outhouse and hung on a nail just inside the door, and used for toilet paper. The old catalogue, by then with most of its pages ripped out, would be stuffed into the Findlay Oval with the morning kindling.

And so we always had two Eaton’s catalogues in use on the farm.

One served the purpose of giving my sister Audrey and me hours of evening enjoyment...when we could pick wonderful fashions, the latest style shoes, and beautiful materials, realizing of course, none of it would ever find its way out to our farm in Northcote.

But the joy was in the choosing. And the old catalogue, long before recycling was ever thought of, served us well in the outhouse.

My sister Audrey often said she thought she should write a letter to Mr. Eaton and tell him how much pleasure we got from his catalogue, and the good use the past issues were put to.

Mother voted against the idea, saying she doubted Mr. Eaton could ever conjure up a mental picture of his catalogue hanging from a spike in some back house out in Renfrew County.

10 pages a night. If Audrey hadn’t put a limit on our pastime, we would have gone through the entire catalogue in less than a week.

And so we started at the women’s fashions, and even though there wasn’t a hope in Hades of our ever having one item we picked, we scanned each page as if our choice was a matter of life and death.

It was amazing how we could spend the best part of an entire evening just going through those 10 pages and making our choices.

And then Audrey would take the 12-inch ruler and tuck it into the page we had left off, close the catalogue and either pass it over to Mother or gently put it up on top of the ice box until the next night.

The brothers were never too interested in the new catalogue. Neither was Father. Father said anything he needed he could get either at Briscoe’s General Store or at Thacker’s garage.

As soon as we were positive the old catalogue held no more interest, it served another purpose.

Father would drive a spike through the upper left corner making a hole large enough to work through a good length

Second annual Learn to Run 5 km Clinic coming to Carp EMC Sports - Hands up all of us who made a resolution to improve our physical fitness in 2012 and need some help to make that goal a reality. Just in time to prepare for the 16th Annual Diefenbooker Classic, a learn to run clinic will be held in Carp beginning on Saturday, March 3 at 9 a.m. at the West Carleton Medical Centre.

No prior running experience is required. If you can walk for 30 minutes, the clinic can help you learn to run 5 km in 10 weeks.

The clinic will be held once a week on Saturday mornings with the expectation participants will practice one to two times on their own during the

week.

Implementing a program of walking and running, and gradually increasing the running component, participants will be able to run 5km after 10 weeks.

The final session, ends with the (optional) Diefenbooker Classic on May 5, which, should you decide to sign up will see you complete your first 5km timed race.

The clinic’s volunteer leader, local running enthusiast, Dayle Mulligan, and her eager team of assistants request that to sign up for the clinic, visit https://secure. e2rm.com/registrant/startup. aspx?eventid=89206 In lieu of a registration fee,

a minimum $25 donation to the Royal Ottawa Hospital (tax receipts provided) will reserve your spot in 10 week clinic.

The website has all of the necessary sign-up information and waiver forms. Please sign up and print and sign the waiver form prior to the first morning’s run.

Want to find out more about the clinic? Mark your calendar now to attend the information night at the Huntley Curling Club on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m.

Commit to improving your fitness today in a fun, and friendly community activity and be ready to run in the Diefenbooker by May. Submitted photos

The 2011 Learn to Run 5 km Clinic was a successful event. was the Diefenbooker Classic itself. Seen taking part in a post run stretch at the March 26 clinic (photo left) were Carp residents Kim Simpson and Debbie Millar.

Area PSB chair slams new Rock, Paper, Scissors scratch lottery

By DESMOND DEVOY

it.

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – The re-elected chairman of the Mississippi Mills police services board (PSB) is slamming the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation for its new Rock, Paper, Scissors scratch lottery game, claiming it is aimed at children.

“Has anyone else been offended by this?” asked Grant Chaplin during the PSB meeting on Feb. 8.

“I don’t mind that we have voluntary taxation through gambling,” he said, but noted his 11-year-old grandson had seen a television ad for the game, and had asked him if he could play

“I find it offensive that they are directing their advertising towards children,” he said.

“I am not sure if that is the direction of this committee,” said fellow board member Anne Mason.

“Lotteries are covered under the Criminal Code,” countered Chaplin.

“As a community issue, we could notify our council,” said Mississippi Mills Mayor John Levi, who added he was scheduled to meet with Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren on Feb. 13, and he would bring it to MacLaren’s atten-

tion.

“It is as bad, or worse, than some of the video games that kids play,” said Coun. Denzil Ferguson. “Some of them encourage murder.”

Chaplin noted the regular rock, paper, scissors game is often played by children on the playground, though some older people do use it to settle who will do an unpopular task.

“I’ll have to go ask my grandchildren about it, and get tuned in on it,” said Levi.

“My kids play it in the front seat of the car all the time,” said the board’s secretary and town CAO Diane Smithson.

Carter Armstrong and Coach Rich Duosome will be with the team at the next tournament.

WC Atom A team wins tournament EMC Sports - The West Carleton Atom A team worked hard to win the Don Mott hockey tournament in Osgoode/Manotick during the weekend of Feb. 3, 4 and 5.

Their first game ended in a score of 2-0. Game two was another shut out at 3-0.

When the goalie got sick just before the third game, there was no time to call-up anyone from one of our B teams. Brandon Ovington stepped up as goalie and all of the other players helped to defend their net to emerge in a tie of 3-3.

Game four was an excit-

ing time that finished with a score of 6-2. The final game was close throughout, but ended with a score of 3-2.

“The team played well against some tough competition, but mostly everyone had fun,” said coach Jamie McCoy. “…We are proud of how

EMC Events - This past Sunday Buckham’s Bay ice vibrated with laughter, dog barks, skidoos and happy shrieks as over 85 kids and families made the most of the kids fishing derby.

The competition looked like a shoe-in most of the day for Sydney Henderson with a of more than three pounds, but Riley Bono brought in the championship fish less than two hours before the finale. Ben Maxwell scored bronze with his prize fish.

No matter, every one of the 85 kids received a prize thanks local sponsors.

Mike Saad, owner of The Lighthouse Restaurant and sponsor, made a surprise visit along with daughter Amani, enjoying the sunshine and warming up at the campfire.

Shadine Robinson, who several years ago took over organizing the derby from her parents, has a long list of local sponsors who made the derby a success. They are; XS Cargo, Wal Mart, Giant Tiger, Canadian Tire, TSC, Mattamy Homes, CBBCA, Fish and Game Club, Lighthouse Restaurant, Pizza Box, Sammy’s Pizzeria, Dunrobin Meat and Grocery, Pinto Valley Ranch, The Point, Men’s and Women’s Dart leagues, and The Ladies Auxiliary.

A special thank is also extended to Lex at Bayview Bait and Tackle for all his help and support again this year, as well as Kevin Robinson.

to elite. Position-specific camps are also available, including the return of Senators goaltending coach Rick Wamsley’s annual camp.

Senators goaltender unmasks his personal style

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Goaltenders, it’s often been said, are a different breed.

Nowhere is that more obvious than in the piece of gear that always seems to draw the most attention. The mask every netminder wears isn’t just a necessary piece of facial protection. Rather, it offers up a canvas for personal expression, one that can take many unique forms.

“It’s one of the few positions where you can express yourself and who you are,” said Senators goaltender Craig Anderson, who displays a team and personal touch with his masks. “It try to keep it 50-50. One side is team oriented, the other side is what sets me apart.”

Anderson turned heads this season by breaking out a heritagethemed mask that pays tribute to Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender Clint Benedict, who backstopped the original Senators to three Stanley Cups in the 1920s. He uses it on nights when the team wears its ‘O’ styled heritage jerseys.

But the 30-year-old native of Park Ridge, Ill., doesn’t just let his masks do the talking. His standout play since Christmas has elevated the Senators into the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff chase.

Score sat down with Anderson to unmask a few truths, so to speak, about the Senators stopper: Q: Have you ever gone through four masks in a season before?

A: One was from last year, so I started out with that. Then I got a new but it broke and we replaced it, and I also have the heritage one. So we have an extra one

character he wants on it. I like to give the artist an open slate.

Q: What do you do with your old masks?

A: I have almost all of them except the ones that were broken

— those go back to the mask builder. The rest of them, I’ve got in storage somewhere, between my house and my parents’ house and whatnot. Eventually, I’ll have a display case with them all.

This one is feeling really good, the fit and finish is really good and I feel really good in it.

Q: Are there any common themes you like to keep on all your masks?

A: The common theme right now is the Corvette. It’s America’s sports car and it’s my way of paying tribute to what I like doing. I like playing with cars in the off-season and being an American. The other side has something to do with the team, like the Sens logo. I also have the Corvette Racing logo on the back, with my number and name (Andy). Other than that, it’s pretty much free rein for the

painter.

Q: How did you and your mask designer (Detroit-based John Pepe of Pepe Custom Paint) first meet?

A: The guy that builds my masks (Bob Dillon of Dillon’s Custom Goalie Mask) is out of Virginia — I met him when I played in the minors with Norfolk. He gave me a custom fit and I’ve been using his masks ever since. The customer service has been top notch and the mask feels really good when I get hit in the head. There’s no ringing, there’s no repercussions from getting hit in the head like I had with my old masks. The painter is his guy that he’s used for a long

time.

Q: How do you and your painter collaborate on the final product?

A: It’s more or less just one phone conversation. After that, it’s just little messages here and there by e-mail. My theme hasn’t really changed over the last few years, so it’s pretty much free rein for him to put whatever kind of

Ontario PC party enjoys ‘positive’ convention, says MPP Jack MacLaren

By THERESA FRITZ

theresa.fritz@metrolan.com

EMC News – The Ontario Progressive Conservative (PC) Party elected a new party president and reaffirmed its support for leader Tim Hudak during a recent convention, which appeared to recharge the party.

“Everybody who was there felt a really positive, upbeat attitude. There wasn’t grumbling about party policy, grumbling about campaign or grumbling about leadership,” said Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren.”

“It was really positive. The vote of confidence in Tim Hudak was really a minor event.

There just was no discussion about anything other than having Tim as the leader, so it just wasn’t something that everyone was taking about.”

At the party’s annual general meeting Feb. 11 in Niagara Falls, 78.7 percent of the 1,600 delegates voted in support of Hudak. In his address to delegates, Hudak acknowledged mistakes were made in

been a good president. They all campaigned very hard.”

At the annual general meeting, party members elected Richard Ciano as the Ontario PC Party president. Ciano received an endorsement from federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, former cabinet minister John Snobelen and former PC candidate and former Canadian Taxpayers Federation director Kevin Gaudet in the race for president.

“It was a really, exciting, democratic experience,” MacLaren said of the presidency race.

The rookie MPP said he also enjoyed the policy discussion sessions which covered topic including jobs, energy and debt.

“I was in the debt discussion session and it was amazing the ideas on how to get out of debt. And there were really good Conservative ideas bouncing around the room. I was pleased by that,” MacLaren concluded. “It was very refreshing to hear the true sense of Conservatism in the room.”

the last provincial election in which the PCs only gained 12 additional seats in the Ontario Legislature.

“I remember when John Tory was the leader and there was a vote of confidence. It was a totally different atmosphere,” MacLaren observed.

“At that time, the whole thing over the weekend was who is going to vote for John Tory and who is not. That was the big discussion of that convention. But this time around the Tim Hudak event was a minor part of it.”

EXCITING RACE One of the exciting events of the weekend, according to MacLaren, was the election of a new executive for the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party.

“It was a very competitive environment,” he recalled.

“There was some hard work done campaigning, especially for the presidential candidates.

There were three of them, three excellent, high caliber people, any one of them would have

The victim was transported by paramedics to the Arnprior

District Memorial Hospital and later transferred to the Ottawa Hospital with serious head injuries.

Police are looking for what is believed to be a smaller, older model red pick-up, which may have sustained damage to the front passenger side as a result of the collision.

The suspect vehicle was

seen driving erratically on McNab Street in Arnprior prior to striking the pedestrians and fleeing the scene.

Anyone with information to on this vehicle or collision is asked to contact the Arnprior OPP at 613-623-3131 or 1-888-310-1122. Provincial Const. Drew Dunfield is leading the investigation.

‘Where is the water supposed to go’

Stormwater management advocate calls for community action

By BLAIR EDWARDS

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC News - The City of Ottawa is relying on outdated maps and incomplete stormwater-management research when considering development applications, says a local advocate for improved stormwater-management planning.

It’s up to residents to educate themselves about stormwater management issues in their community – such as ditches clogged with vegetation or culverts too small to handle a major rainstorm – so they can challenge development proposals that increase flooding risks, said Faith Blacquiere.

The Glen Cairn woman delivered a presentation on stormwater management issues during a meeting of the March Rural Community Association on Feb. 8.

But Blacquiere is making a judgement based on the limited resources and documents available to her, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

City planners use updated maps and reports when considering a development application, said Wilkinson.

“They use updated maps, but the updated maps don’t always get on the website,” she said.

City planners also consider outlying areas which might be affected by a new develop-

ment, she added.

“They do look at the big picture,” said Wilkinson.

“They might not say that in the report, but they do.”

Wilkinson said she hasn’t had any problems with staff reports on development applications during her two terms on council.

“Any of the new developments in my areas haven’t had problems,” she said. “The problems have been with the old areas.”

WHERE WILL THE WATER GO? Blaquiere, a retired librarian, doesn’t have an engineer’s degree or formal training in city planning, but said she started to educate herself after a series of floods in her community.

She said she learned how to read technical planning documents, such as hydro-geological reports prepared for the city’s stormwater management studies.

The trick is knowing what to look for, said Blacquiere.

“What I’m looking for is: where is the water supposed to go,” she said. “Look for what they are not saying.”

After her community was hit with three floods over the past two decades, Blacquiere, who walks with a cane, toured her neighbourhood, mapping the location and condition of

“You have to take action within the community.”

FAITH BLACQUIERE, GLEN CAIRN RESIDENT WHO DELIVERED THE PRESENATION AT MARCH RURAL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATON FEB. 8.

stormwater management sites and drainage systems.

Blacquiere said she has sent reports raising issues about flooding dangers in Glen Cairn to City of Ottawa staff, but they were returned unread because the data wasn’t first reviewed by an engineer.

If residents suffer a flood or notice a potential flooding risk, it’s up to them to notify both the city and their community association, she said.

“You have to take action within the community,” she told the people gathered at the March Rural Community Association meeting.

Blacquiere’s message resonated with Kanata’s rural residents, said Judy Makin, president of the March Rural Community Association.

Blaquiere said she has identified the following problems with the city’s stormwater management planning: * Allowing development and infrastructure on land with vulnerable aquifers. * Not using new technology for the city’s stormwater management retrofitting and development planning. * Not considering the effect of beavers on drainage. * Entombing water courses

in culverts. * Diverting water courses and filling wetlands. * Ignoring ditch drainage during planning. * Considering development applications piece-meal without considering wider affected areas.

“What she’s doing is prodding,” said Wilkinson, “and that’s good making sure the city’s doing a good job.”

RURAL WATER CONCERNS Rural residents have raised concerns about country lot estate developments in Kanata and West Carleton.

The city has placed a moratorium on new development applications for country estate lots until it has a chance to figure out what is a reasonable size for rural development.

Rural residents rely on wells, not city water, said Makin – and the land’s aquifers can only handle so much drilling to create new wells.

Country estate lots rely on digging a well on two-acre lots, said Makin, when previous practice was spacing out wells on 10-acre lots.

Residents are worried the drilling will hurt water quality, she said.

“We’ve raised that concern time and time again,” said Makin. “Those developments have proceeded.”

Gord Henderson, a member of the Coalition to Protect the South March Highlands, delivered a presentation on stormwater management problems with the Beaver Pond development in Kanata Lakes.

The city issued a report last year, which was released to opponents of the Beaver Pond development under the Municipal Freedom of Information Act, disputing a developer’s report on how much stormwater Kizell Pond and the Beaver Pond can hold.

The new report, prepared

by AECOM, contrasted with information provided by IBI Group, consultants for KNL, a partnership of Urbandale and Richcraft Homes.

AECOM’s report calculated that Kizell Pond could hold about 12,000 cubic metres of water, where the IBI Group’s

report estimated capacity at around 86,000 cubic metres.

After that the water would spill over onto Goulbourn Forced Road.

The city has placed a temporary hold on the development.

Beaverbrook has been hit with several floods over the past summer, said Henderson.

Last July, sewage seeped into 40 homes following a rainstorm.

If the city allows the Beaver Pond development to move ahead, the surrounding area will face similar flooding issues, said Henderson.

Recently, community associations in Kanata north, including Kanata Lakes, Beaverbrook and BriarbrookMorgan’s Grant, have formed an umbrella group to lobby against unwanted development in their neighbourhoods.

“We don’t trust the city,” said Henderson. “I really don’t think the city has the best interest of its citizens in mind.”

The March Rural Community Association will hold its next meeting on March 14, starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Old Town Hall in Morgan’s Grant.

Community association looking to celebrate anniversaries in the Bay

BY DEREK DUNN

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Glen said from Saturday, Aug. 25, to Labour Day Monday, Sept. 3, Constance Bay will be rockin’ with youth concerts, bands, an outside beer tent, a ball tournament, canoe races, a kids’ fishing derby and more – all at the beach, community centre, and dock. There might even be a Miss Constance Bay pageant.

“It should be a lot of fun,” he said. “We’re always looking for volunteers.”

MEDICAL FACILITY? On the other side, emerging from the community survey, is the need for a medical facility and village nurse.

Glen isn’t aware of the likelihood the community will get one, but the survey was filled out by about 100 residents and has had the deadline extended to hear from more. He is hopeful city officials will consider the recommendations.

As for programs offered through the community association, the Hire A Neighbour’s Daughter or Son (HANDS) and the newlyformed Need-a/Share-a-Ride are paying off.

While the ride program is off to a good start with some five or six drivers available, largely for elderly folks looking for lift into the city for shopping or medical appoint-

ments, few have taken up the offer. Glen said the program wasn’t really designed to accommodate car pooling commuters or teens wanting a drive to work, but if that’s the direction folks want to go with it, he’s OK with that.

The cross country club is back and the trails for a few weeks were in great shape, but membership is down.

As for the board of directors, he’s impressed with the quantity and quality.

“We’ve got a good mix.”

EMC News - The Ottawa Police Service – Marine, Dive and Trails Unit, supported by the Ottawa Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (M.A.D.D.), conducted two simultaneous Ride Programs in the Osgood and the Constance Bay areas within the City of Ottawa.

Two people were stopped

of a police officer.

The Marine, Dive and Trails Unit of the Ottawa Police Service and the Ottawa Chapter of M.A.D.D. would like to remind the community about the criminal liability and seriousness of drinking and operating a snowmobile or any other motor vehicles.

The new board of directors is: president Ian Glen, past president Len Russell, vice president and police liaison Bruce Gordon, treasurer Monique Strathern, secretary Don Trowell, social event coordinator Penny Johnson, membership and welcome back Andy Rapoch, events and kitchen Anita Kamps, facility Ian Thurston, newsletter Marilyn Scales, Dan Moffatt, webpage Stephanie Ballantyne, storage Claudette Brisson, archives Jim Burrows, social Alf Currie, social events Jane Currie, playgroup Sandi Sbardella, Heather Lucente, youth and music David Graham, community affairs David Goodkey, liaison Robert Dupuis, bylaws Catherine Ginsberg, youth and seniors Jennifer Corlick, Verna Attwell, and Ben Diaz.

EMC News – A former community association president in Constance Bay is at the helm once again.

Ian Glen was named to the top spot in the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association (CBBCA) at the Jan. 29 annual general meeting (AGM).

“I’m retired. I can put time into it,” Glen said. “I’m quite happy to do it for another couple of years until someone else comes ago.”

Glen is at ease about the job because it appears the beach controversy has faded. Unlike two years ago, when the community hall was packed for the AGM with folks either for or against labelling parts of the beach private property, this year’s meeting attracted fewer people and the divisive topic didn’t come up.

Glen credits his predecessor, Len Russell, for handling the beach issue with objectivity and understanding.

However, West Carleton’s largest community faces other challenges. Some fun, others fairly serious.

On the lighter side, it is the CBBCA’s 40th anniversary and the Len Purcell Community Centre’s 20th. They are always ready for a bash in the Bay, but when it comes to major milestones like these, the ante is upped considerably.

Winter carnival fun

St. Michael Catholic School students pile-on for a horsedrawn sleigh ride during their Winter Carnival event at Pinto Valley Ranch Feb. 15. The second annual event saw 177 students, from junior kindergarten to Grade 8, enjoying a full day of activities including the sleigh rides, tobogganing, skating, a marsh mellow roast, and hot chocolate with treats. Taking a break (above) from the day’s festivities for a hot chocolate and treat are St. Michael School grade 2 students (L-R) Ava McKnight, Layne Wilson and Jorja Burt.

Students enjoyed coming face-to-face with farm animals, including this hungry horse, during barn tours (left).

Makeover for the Horticulture Building is the centre of the city’s new Lansdowne Park plans

BY LAURA MUELLER

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – A plan to make the historic Horticul-

ture Building into a meeting space, restaurant and more is a good idea, heritage advocates say – if only the build-

ing didn’t have to be moved.

Updated design plans for the Lansdowne Park redevelopment were revealed at

city hall on Feb. 7, and most notable were changes to the Horticulture Building.

Julian Smith, the heritage architect in charge of that portion of the project, said a portion of the building will be permanently removed and the north facade, which faces Holmwood Avenue, will have a glass front instead of a brick wall.

Another big change will be the size of the building – a couple of “bays” will be taken out, reducing the length of the structure and allowing it to be set back farther from neighbouring houses along Holmwood.

The Horticulture Building will be the nexus of the transition between commercial and public spaces and gardens, so it will feature both commercial and public space.

R0011290482

MEETING PLACE The building will be turned into a meeting space that can hold up to 500 people, with space for smaller community events and a kitchen. There may also be an info booth and a restaurant in the Horticulture Building, Smith said.

That plan aligns with the new UNESCO guidelines that support adaptive reuse of heritage buildings – a policy Smith helped draft. But he confirmed that relocating heritage-designated buildings was not part of that strategy.

The plans sounded good to members of Heritage Ot-

tawa, the advocacy group that fought the city’s plan to move the Horticulture Building – and won.

In fact, if the building remained in its current location, “We could live with that,” said David Flemming, who was president of Heritage Ottawa when the advocacy group objected to the city’s decision to move the Horticulture Building to allow an underground parking structure and a cinema to be built.

Last June, the province’s Heritage Conservation Review Board ruled that the city should not repeal all or part of the bylaw designating the building as heritage in order to move it.

Despite the decision, the city owns the Horticulture Building, so it has the final say about whether it will be moved, and the city has always maintained the building will be moved.

The city intends to seek redesignation for the Horticulture Building, Smith said, but Flemming wasn’t convinced it would be possible, given all the changes to the structure and that fact that it will be moved – a process that’s estimated to cost $6 million.

Still, Flemming and fellow Heritage Ottawa members said they liked the plans for the building, which dates back to 1914.

“What we’re concerned about is that the cost is going to get more and more

and somewhere along the way someone is going to say, ‘Why the hell are we spending $6 million relocating this non-designated building when we can just tear it down?’”

ABERDEEN TO BE UNCHANGED Notably absent from the Feb. 7 presentation was any discussion of plans for the historic Aberdeen Pavilion, arguably the richest heritage building on the site.

But Smith said in an interview that the 114-year-old “cattle castle” will mostly remain unchanged.

“The Aberdeen is not going to undergo any significant changes,” Smith said.

“The idea of the Aberdeen is that it’s like a large tent on the lawn. It will be available for programming when you have major events and you want protected space … It’s an indoor-outdoor space.”

The building can’t be completely heated or air-conditioned, so its uses are limited, Smith said. There is a desire to keep the large space as flexible as possible, so it can be used for overflow from outdoor events, as a separate site or stage for festivals at Lansdowne, for off-season farmers markets and perhaps even as bicycle parking during large events.

The interior of the pavilion will remain undivided, Smith said.

Contaminated site poses no risk: Boeing

By DEREK DUNN

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Testing

More than 130 wells were dug on the site for testing purposes, a rink-sized excavation project has removed 2,500 tons of contaminated soil, and abandoned underground storage tank and paint sludge were removed, and new storm water drain lines were created.

Two private drinking wells were found to have trace amounts of contamination, well below provincially-acceptable levels, according to Boeing spokesperson Cindy Glickert.

The company installed a filter system on the water supply at two private wells at a farmhouse on Baskin Drive.

Glickert explained that the open house, attended primarily by “rock enthusiasts” from Ottawa, is not meant to worry area residents.

“We’re not holding this meeting to release any great, new findings,” Glickert said.

“This is about explaining what we are doing, to be open and transparent.”

Five new wells along with drilling rigs will draw attention this summer, she indicated, so publicizing the work being done should allay any

fears.

Boeing’s senior manager of environmental remediation and environmental health and safety, Steven Tochko, said the contamination won’t seep into the Madawaska River.

“It won’t make it to the river,” Tochko said.

“No one’s drinking the water. It’s getting deeper than any of the wells in the area,” he added.

The town of Arnprior’s environmental engineering technologist, Abby Barclay, said she was impressed with the open house, and the commitment Boeing shows to the clean-up.

“I got good reviews across the board (from open house participants),” Barclay said.

Barclay explained that Golder submits site data to the

town, the county health unit, and the provincial Ministry of the Environment. However, the government doesn’t independently collect data from the site.

Barclay said it would be redundant and that Golder, which was named last week as one of Canada’s top 10 companies to work for, is a highly reputable firm.

That reputation would be compromised were it found to have reported false information, she noted.

She is not aware of other contaminated sites of this magnitude in Arnprior.

There are known brownfields, but typically a property won’t be pegged as contaminated until it comes up for sale. That’s when the province is alerted.

EMC News – Contamination by a known carcinogen at the former Boeing Arnprior site is being closely monitored and poses no risk, according to company and government officials at a Feb. 2 open house in Arnprior.

As part of the 2005 sale to Arnprior Aerospace, Boeing agreed to retain responsibility for the environmental cleanup of an unknown number of drums containing a degreaser.

The Royal Canadian Air Force opened the site in 1942.

In 1953 Piasecki Helicopters of Canada began offering spares and servicing helicopters at the site.

Boeing bought Piasecki in 1960, and supplied precision-machined metal parts for commercial aircraft, eventually buying the 25-acre site in 1983.

Throughout those years, volatile organic compounds – primarily trichloroethylene (TCE) – were used as a degreasing solvent.

TCE was a common cleaner for removing oil used on cutting tools before parts could be primed and painted.

Spills and deliberate dumpings seeped through cracks in the floorboards at the most northerly, oldest part of the building – across from the former emergency services college – and entered the ground.

Almost all the Arnprior Aerospace property boundary is contaminated down six metres to the bedrock.

It wasn’t until the sale to Arnprior Aerospace that TCE levels were found to exceed provincial standards in the site’s soil and groundwater.

Since that time, the company hired Golder Associates, an international environmental engineering firm, to monitor and clean up the site.

Doctors to join rest of Almonte family health team on Spring Street “The move will in no way affect the care that patients receive,” said Strazza. “Patients will continue to have access to their own family physicians. However, they will also have access to additional health services and health care providers in the same location.

“They will also be able to benefit from chronic disease management programs and resources.”

The physicians’ offices are moving in stages to ensure a gradual and smooth transition for patients and physicians. Once an office move is complete, including the successful migration of computer records, the next one will begin.

“The exact date of each physician’s office move will be available a few days in advance,” Strazza explained. “Once a physician’s office move is complete, patients will begin seeing that physician at 95 Spring St. instead of at the physician’s former office.”

The Almonte General Hospital has completely renovated the first floor of 95 Spring St. to accommodate the OVFHT. “We look forward to serving patients in this spacious and attractive location, which has new furnishings and equipment,” said Strazza.

She said the OVFHT is sending letters about the relocation to all patients currently enrolled with a physician who is moving. The OVFHT website-www.ovfht.ca-will update the status of each physician’s move as information becomes available.

After Feb. 21, patients can also call 613-256-9370 to hear

a recorded message with current information about the relocation. The OVFHT is also communicating general information about the move via advertising in local media, through materials available at physicians’ offices and in flyers posted in the community.

After the move, recorded messages and signage will redirect people who call or visit a physician’s former office to the new location.

“We will do our best to minimize the impact of the move on patients,” said Strazza. “If you have an appointment during the relocation period, your physician’s office will contact you to confirm the location of your appointment.”

Family Health Teams (FHTs) bring together different health care providers to co-ordinate the highest possible quality of care for patients. FHTs consist of doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners and other health care professionals who work together to provide care.

In addition to delivering comprehensive health care services, FHTs support programs to manage and prevent chronic disease.

The OVFHT, which began operating in November 2010, develops and delivers chronic disease management and health promotion programs, including programs for diabetes, geriatrics, respiratory diseases/smoking cessation, mental health and women’s health/maternal and postpartum care.

These services are available free of charge to patients enrolled with an OVFHT physician.

EMC News - The Ottawa Valley Family Health Team (OVFHT) is moving into a single clinic location in Almonte.

The team, which includes 11 Almonte family physicians and seven interdisciplinary health professionals, will be working together at 95 Spring St. within the next six weeks.

The new clinic will be on the fully renovated first floor of the former Fairview Manor building. The 11 family physicians will move in stages, over at least five weeks, beginning in late February.

The interdisciplinary health professionals, which include a nurse, nurse practitioner, dietitian, chiropodist, pharmacist, social worker and psychiatrist, are already located at 95 Spring St. “Having all of our providers practising together in one location will increase the level of and access to primary care services to our community,” said OVFHT executive director Antoinette Strazza.

“Operating at one location will provide many benefits to patients. Services will be centralized and convenient, our health care providers will be able to collaborate and consult with each other to enhance care, and patients will have access to more health providers at one location,” she said.

The relocating family physicians include Dr. Heather Abramenko, Dr. William Blaine, Dr. Christiane Deschenes, Dr. Mike Dolan, Dr. Franz Ferraris, Dr. Melissa Forbes, Dr. Ursula McGarry, Dr. Graeme McKillop, Dr. Jody Murray, Dr. Anne Oldfield and Dr. Cecil Rytwinski.

Always remember to lock your doors at night

A STORY FROM OUT OF SPACE

This is a story out of West Carleton space that is and right next door in the Rideau-Goulbourn Ward.

Lock your doors, especially at night. Why take a chance on losing a good night’s sleep when taking a moment or two before heading off to bed to secure all of your doors and windows can mean the difference between a stranger getting into your house and a stranger moving on.

At around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 4, police were dispatched to a home on Blackleaf Drive for a report of a suspicious situation—a homeowner told the 911 operator that she awoke to the sound of strange noises coming from downstairs and that she was at home alone.

Within minutes police arrived on scene and discovered that a stranger had actually entered

CONST. JEON Ottawa Police Service into the caller’s home through an unlocked back door and stole a Toshiba laptop from the living room. At around the same time another 911 call was received — a caller indicated that a prowler was luring in the immediate area of Blackleaf Dr. and described the suspect as a young white male wearing a dark jacket.

With the assistance of the K9 unit police attempted to run a track through the snow; however, they were unable to locate the suspect. Even through the K9 track was unsuccessful in apprehending the culprit the officers were able recover the stolen laptop, which was discarded approx. 200 meters away from the house. Unfortunately the laptop was smashed into pieces.

LOOK DEER WE’RE GONE HIGH TECH

To see what it’s all about enter the following URL into your Internet browser’s address bar and hit the enter key to start grazing: www. manotickneighbourhoodwatch.com/deer .

Thanks to Michael Hill, the Manotick Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator and Website developer, you are now able to see where these deer collisions have occurred in rural west Ottawa for 2011 and 2012.

Here are a few tips to get you going: the blue dot with a number inside represents the total number of collisions that have occurred in the general area where it is positioned; the red deer indicates a single vehicle-deer collision; zoom in or out for different perspectives, click on the blue dot or the deer for more information; and finally, take advantage of the filter options at the top of the page to screen out data and search for trends.

For week six rural west Ottawa reported in four deer collisions with three coming from the West Carleton ward.

So, the score now stands at 14 to 3 in favor of Rideau-Goulbourn.

DRUGS

10. The student was formally warned by police and the drugs were turned in for destruction.

SUSPICIOUS

A homeowner reported a suspicious incident to police that occurred at around 3:30 p.m. on Sun., Feb. 5 in the 3400 section of Panmure Road. The complainant stated that two strangers pulled up to the edge of his driveway in a silver coloured SUV and got out to have a smoke.

When the homeowner challenged the strangers with the line “can I help you?” they responded by saying “Oh sorry” and then promptly drove away.

Because of the rural location of the property and the seemingly odd place to stop for a smoke, the homeowner’s suspicions were raised.

The two male subjects were described being in their 20’s, Mediterranean descent, approx. 5’ 6” tall, slender build and spoke English with a forced foreign accent.

The vehicle was described as a silver coloured SUV with a partial licence plate number of BX??722.

THEFT

A high school student was issued a three-day suspension from school after a small quantity of Marijuana was found on his possession Feb.

Sometime between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 10 on John Shaw Road in Kinburn, a yellow Case 580 Super M backhoe was stolen from the backyard of the complainant’s residence. Tire tracks were observed leading away from his property.

Because the owner is in possession of the ignition keys it is suspected that the unidentified culprit hotwired the vehicle.

Shortly after 2 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11 police were dispatched to the village of Fitzroy Harbour for a report of an erratic snowmobiler.

The walker reported that a snowmobiler had struck his dog as he swerved around them near the intersection of Ward Court and Clifford Campbell Rd. Upon speaking to the complainant the officers were provided with the snowmobiler’s address and learned that the dog was not injured.

On speaking with the snow-

mobiler officers did not detect any signs of alcohol consumption and reported that he was extremely apologetic for scaring the walker. However, he elaborated by saying that he only spotted the walker and his dog at the last minute because of the dark clothing and that he did not believe any contact was made as he drove by.

In addition, because of the engine noise and the noise damping effect of the helmet it is highly plausible the snowmobiler would have missed the walker outburst as he drove by.

Remember, safety is everyone’s responsibility -take the necessary steps to be seen by wearing reflective clothing.

THEFT FROM VEHICLE

Sometime during the overnight hours on Tuesday, Jan. 31 unidentified culprits stole wiring and snow removal accessories from two vehicles that were left unattended in the corner store parking lot at 4812 Highway 17.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 613-2361222 ext. 7300 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS), or toll free at 1-800-222-8477.

Remember, Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display and your identity remains anonymous.

SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY

A homeowner discovered a suspicious incident that occurred on her property on Greenland Road sometime during the day on Thursday, Jan. 26, while she was away at work. A set of adult size boot prints were observed walking around to the back of the residence and passing near some of the windows.

It is suspected that the unidentified person was casing out the complainant’s house.

The residence is located on Greenland Rd. near Mast Lane.

Anyone living around this area is asked to keep an eye out for any unusual activity and to report it to police by calling the OPS Call Centre at 613-236-1222 ext. 7300.

A passerby called police at around noon on Wednesday, Feb. 1 after she happened upon a suspicious event—a

U-Haul truck was backed up to a transport truck on Loggers Way near Mississippi Dr. and people were frantically moving stuff from one vehicle to the other.

The caller told police that the situation looked fishy because the trucks were positioned in such a way as to conceal their activity.

Police investigated the incident and learned that the smaller U-Haul truck was being used to ferry furniture to the house from the transport truck since the truck was unable to access the property.

Always remember that you are the eyes and ears in the community—together we can help keep crime at bay. If you see or hear of anything suspicious or unusual, then investigate it—don’t just pass it off.

MAKE THE RIGHT CALL

The West Carleton Police Centre is located at 5670 Carp Road and can be reached at 236-1222 ext. 2982. The Centre is a “community problemsolving centre” and is responsible for the delivery of the Ottawa Police crime prevention programs.

It is important to note that the West Carleton CPC is not an emergency response centre and that we do not dispatch cars to complaints or crimes in progress. When these situations arise, it is important to know the numbers to call for an appropriate response: • 911 – for life-threatening emergencies or crimes in progress; • 613-230-6211 – other emergencies, i.e.: suspicious incident or disturbance; • 613-236-1222, ext. 7300 – the O.P.S. call centre, to report a theft, missing person or stolen vehicle; and • 311 – for bylaw dispatch services.

If you have any information regarding any criminal activity, call Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS), or toll free at 1-800-222-8477.

Finally, if you are ever in doubt as to whether or not you should call police, or you cannot remember the non-emergency numbers, call 9-1-1.

The caring and professional 9-1-1 Call Takers will steer you in the right direction.

It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of our dear brother David (Ernie to many) on January 25, 2012. He was Bill (William S.) Salter’s chosen partner for over 36 years. Until his retirement, Ernie worked for almost 25 years at Island Lodge in Ottawa, caring for the elderly.

LARGE SELECTION OF QUALITY FURNITURE

David loved to collect. He had an enormous collection of figurines that he was always changing. For a few years he collected the little Chinese pottery horses. Then Chinese Buddha figures. He collected little blown glass ornaments, paperweights, handmade trinket boxes, Bunnykins dinnerware, porcelain rabbits, miniatures of any sort (tea sets, animals, dishes), unusual cards that he loved to frame, miniature pictures, miniature vases, crosses and crucifixes, books. It is so difficult to remember all of them. If Bill liked something, David would scour the second hand stores trying to complete his collections for him.

Known for his involvement with the Art Communities in both Ottawa and Edmonton , Bill was an accomplished Canadian Artist. He tried, and was successful at, just about any form of artistic expression one could imagine - wood carving, weaving, macramé, pottery, pen and ink sketches, oil paintings, watercolours - the list goes on. He loved gardening and any place that he moved to he always managed to have a beautifully “klutzy” flower garden, with rocks and ornaments strategically placed. Two little Bonsais attest to his patience with plants. His inborn sense of form and beauty was most obvious in his landscaping.

This was a wonder to behold, with the lovely arrangement of colours and types of plants that, to him, was a “no-brainer”. A place for everything and everything in it’s place: it just seemed to be natural to him.

In 1965, Bill earned a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Alberta . A Masters Degree in Geography followed in 1968, and he worked 2 more years on a Doctorate when he decided to chuck it in and become, what he called, a full time “starving artist”.

Bill was pre-deceased by his partner of 36 years, David (Ernest Squires). Their beloved (and pampered) pet dog Rusty still remains. His Dad, Lt.Col.W.H. (Bill) Salter passed away in 2005.

Bill’s Mom, Elsie Salter, lives in Richmond as well as his sister Bev. His other two sisters, Diane and Marilyn, as well as two brothers, Ted and Kim, live in Alberta . He leaves numerous nieces and nephews and multitudes of friends to mourn his loss.

A Memorial Service for both Bill and David will come at a later date, when the weather is warm, the birds are singing, and the sun is shining.

Should you so wish, in lieu of flowers to the family, donations may be made to your local Humane Society, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or a charity of your choice.

Council proposes eight per cent tax increase in Mississippi Mills tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Last year’s budget process, which resulted in a bare bones budget, was extremely challenging for Mississippi Mills council.

Yet again this year elected officials wielded the big knife, but ratepayers are still facing an eight per cent tax levy increase – proposed by council and staff during a public meeting on Jan. 31.

“Yes, we did cut the budget to bare bones last year and this year we are paying the price for making those decisions,” said Coun. Garry Dalgity, chair of the Finance, Administration & Policy Committee (FAPC).

He noted there were few capital and infrastructure projects completed in 2011.

“Council has tried very hard to keep any raise in taxes to a minimum, but we must do what we have to do to maintain our infrastructure and provide the services that our residents depend on,” said Dalgity. “To accomplish this, there are substantial costs we have encountered this year.”

In the region of 10 people were in attendance for the open meeting, which included a presentation by the municipality’s chief administrative officer Diane Smithson and treasurer, Rhonda Whitmarsh.

The proposed gross operating and capital expenditures for the year total $13,548,913, said Whitmarsh, and funding comes from a handful of sources: municipal tax revenue ($6,861,822), long-term financing ($406,000), reserves/ reserve funds ($452,034), user fees and other revenues ($4,022,864) and government grants ($1,743,173).

“Right now the levy (revenue) increase is eight per cent, but we are not balanced,” she said. “I am not sure how they (council) are going to resolve the present shortfall of $63,020.”

Taking a look at the budget by department/area, the treasurer said roads and public works would obtain the most dollars, followed by policing then administration.

Heads Up for Healthier Brains

She noted departments such as parks and recreation, daycare and library generate revenue to compensate a portion of their budgets, although the remainder is funded by way of the tax base.

CAPITAL PROJECTS Mississippi Mills’ capital budget for 2012 is $2,054,625.

“Again, roads and public works is the highest area,” said Whitmarsh.

Proposed projects include a sound system for council chambers.

“We have applied for a grant, but if we don’t receive it we won’t go forward,” said the treasurer. eSolutionsGroup was retained at the end of 2011 to complete website consultation and upgrades for the municipality. The new website’s total cost is not to exceed $42,500.

Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) units will be purchased for the fire department for $175,000.

“This is absolutely necessary for health and safety,” said Whitmarsh.

The units ensure firefighters have breathable air when entering dangerous environments.

A new standard for SCBAs is coming forward in 2013.

The units will be going to 4,500 PSI. At present, the approximate 20-year-old packs used by firefighters in Mississippi Mills are 2,216 PSI. Another project, upgrading the front steps outside the municipal office, is also deemed a health and safety concern.

Gravel will be laid in Pakenham and Ramsay, and there will be resurfacing projects in Almonte Ward.

“Surface treatment projects include Blakeney Road bridge to Martin Street, Rosebank Road to Alexander Street, and Pakenham Concession 12,” said Whitmarsh.

A tandem salt truck ($215,000), water tanker replacement tank ($45,000), 4x4 patrol unit ($34,000) and lawn tractor will be purchased.

The Recreation Master

Plan and accessibility venture at the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library ($100,000) round out the capital projects.

Taxes Whitmarsh took a few moments to go over the process for the calculation of property taxes.

“I am sure you are all aware it is the property’s assessed value multiplied by the tax rates of the three levels of government, which are municipal, county and school board,” she said. “After that there is the addition of the waste management charge.”

In Mississippi Mills, residential tax bills are broken down as follows: municipal (39.65 per cent - $1,325.35), county (35.65 per cent $1,131.04) and education (24.70 per cent - $609.96).

“We must pay the county and school boards for monies that we bill whether they are collected or not,” Whitmarsh noted. “The town is responsible for the collection of all taxes.”

Looking at the proposed overall residential tax calculation for 2012 (municipal, county and education rates, as well as the waste management charge), there is a $122.67 increase from 2011 or 4.19 per cent. This is based on an average assessment of $276,000.

Year in review In previous years, capital spending was relatively consistent at just under $5 million, said Smithson. “In 2011, (provincial and federal) grants dried up because of the economy. Capital spending was kept to a minimum.”

In terms of long-term financing, the municipality has taken advantage of the low interest rates over the last few years, and some of this borrowing is the result of grant monies received by the town that required matching.

The town’s reserve balance at the end of 2011 is about $2.8 million; however, of that amount, $1.1 million is set aside to cover tax arrears, said Smithson.

Whitmarsh is in the final stages of completing the mu-

nicipality’s 2011 year-end financial report, but a small surplus is anticipated, which will be transferred to reserves for future capital requirements.

The tax revenue increase for 2011 was 5.43 per cent, with new growth – residential, commercial and industrial construction – accounting for 1.33 per cent. The tax levy increase was 3.1 per cent.

Between 2007 and 2011 a few “significant” changes took place in regards to residential assessment percentage.

“In 2009, 2010 and 2011, those changes resulted from the reassessment that took place within the Province of Ontario,” explained Smithson.

“Increases in 2007 and 2008 were related to growth only in our community.”

“The province decided to implement a four-year cycle of assessment increases,” she continued. “The cycle is based on a market valuation date of Jan. 1, 2008.”

The next assessment update will be based on a valuation date of Jan. 1, 2012, and the increase will be phased in starting in 2013.

Over the years, she said council has been cognizant of the fact that these assessment increases are quite significant to the taxpayer on average, “so they have worked hard to limit a tax rate increase.”

All members of council were present on Jan. 31: Duncan Abbott, Bernard Cameron, Dalgity, John Edwards, Denzil Ferguson, Alex Gillis, John Levi, Shaun McLaughlin, Rick Minnille, Phil Watters and Val Wilkinson.

In order to get a budget before council they can work with, staff has worked hard – since August 2011 – on the financial document, said Dalgity.

“But the members of council raise issues during the process that should have been decided either before the budget process started, or certainly before the final budget was before us,” he continued.

Dalgity commented the last budget meeting “seemed like an exercise in futility.”

OSU FORCE ACADEMY 99 GIRLS WIN SILVER IN INDOOR ONTARIO CUP This past weekend, a group of girls from the 99 Force Black squad, won silver at the Ontario Indoor U13 Provincial Championships. Their first game was against the Richmond Hill Raiders, who finished second in their preliminary round. The Force came out flying and quickly went ahead 1-0. Not content to sit back, the girls continued to pressure and dominated in the offensive zone, which lead to many quality chances but only one additional goal. Final score 2-0. Next up was Stony Creek Saltfleet, the winner of their preliminary round and a team that defeated the Force two years ago at the Robbie International tournament. Final score 1-1.

The last game of the day was against the newly constituted, Whitby squad. Despite the obvious physical disadvantage and the challenge of playing against a full, well-rested bench, the girls continued to display their soccer skill and tactical play. With the play going back and forth, neither team’s defense were providing the opposition with many scoring opportunities, until a high bouncing ball resulted in a goal-against late in the game and the girls taking a 1-0 loss. After group play, the Force were tied with Stony Creek Saltfleet. However, the girls benefited from an OSA mandated tie-break rule that saw them advance to the semi-finals.

The next day, the girls resolved to not squander their opportunity as they were facing Ontario #1 ranked Unionville-Milliken. Showing their determination and dedication to defensive play, the girls shut-down their opponents and advanced to the finals with a 1-0 win. Ninety minutes later they were on the field playing for the championship, again against Whitby. In an effort to avenge their earlier loss, the girls came out flying, confident in their knowledge that they were no longer considered the tournament underdog. The girls left it all on the field and despite their disappointment were pleased to be silver medal championship finalists.

To allow only three goals-against in five games against the best teams in Ontario is a testament to their dedication to the team game and unselfish play. The girls are anxious for the outdoor season to begin so that that can fully demonstrate their skill on the full field, secure in the knowledge that they are underdogs no longer! Congratulations to Shona, Gabby, Sarah, Gracie, Amelia, Annie, Jodie, Gillian, Anna, Micha, Vicki, Coach Mike, Coach Shawn, Tournament Manager Denise, and Trainer Cathy.
