Goodbye, Tories; Hello, Trillium Jack MacLaren parts ways with Tories, joins new Trillium Party as its sole MPP jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren said his decision to join the Trillium Party of Ontario was made before he was expelled from the Tory caucus on May 28.

The former Progressive Conservative MPP was ousted

by Tory leader Patrick Brown on Sunday after a video surfaced from 2012 in which MacLaren makes disparaging comments about bilingualism and alludes to a secret agenda by the PC party.

In a phone interview with Metroland Media, MacLaren said he made the decision earlier in the week to switch parties and planned to announce his move on Tuesday.

“Since the (PC) party has made this release this morning it just means we’ll talk about it a little bit sooner,” he said. “I’ve been frustrated with my life in politics recently and for some time.”

The expulsion from the PCs was a surprise but “I wasn’t shocked,” said MacLaren, adding he received an email from the party with the ruling around 8 a.m. Sunday.

In the video, MacLaren is seen making disparaging comments about bilingualism and alluding to a secret agenda by the PC party.

“You don’t have to convince me what’s wrong with Robert Benzie/Toronto Star French language in Eastern Ontario,” MacLaren says in New Trillium Party MPP Jack MacLaren (Carleton-Mississippi Mills) takes his seat in the video in response to a man off-camera objecting to the Ontario Legislature all by himself on Monday, May 29 after parting ways with the bilingual language requirements for employment.

MacLaren says he will run in 2018 provincial election Continued from page 1

MacLaren told the man the party wouldn’t say anything publicly on bilingualism because then the PCs wouldn’t get elected.

“We have lots of things that we’re going to do that we won’t say to people before the election, because we won’t get elected,” MacLaren says in the recording.

He said the PC party was aware of the video when it was first recorded.

“I’m surprised that they seem to think that’s an issue,” MacLaren said. “The PC party staff at the time called me and made me aware that (the video) was recorded and made public and were a little concerned about it so it was taken down. But they were aware of it and weren’t overly concerned.”

EXPELLED For the PC party, the video was “the final straw,” Tory leader Patrick Brown said in a statement released Sunday.

“Once again, Jack MacLaren has been caught making comments that are unacceptable,” said Brown. “I have expelled Jack MacLaren from the PC caucus. The expulsion is indefinite. He will not be a PC candidate in the next provincial election.”

Brown said in his statement that MacLaren’s values and those of the PC party aren’t in line.

“This video is part of a pattern with Jack MacLaren,” said Brown. “Clearly the real Jack MacLaren is the one we heard making derogatory comments toward women at the Carp Fair Men’s Night, who published fake testimonials

praising himself from fake constituents on his website, and who came out against a zero-tolerance policy against sexual abuse.”

The PC party leader ordered MacLaren to undergo sensitivity training and stay away from Queen’s Park last year after the local MPP made a crude joke about his federal counterpart, Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon, at a Carp Fair Men’s Night event.

MacLaren was also removed as the eastern Ontario representative in the Conservative caucus after posting fake testimonials on his website.

In March, the local MPP called a zero-tolerance policy intended to protect patients from sexual abuse “dangerous” for doctors.

The video was the fourth strike.

“Each time Jack MacLaren is caught making disparaging or insensitive remarks about others he asks for forgiveness and a second chance.

And a third chance. And a fourth,” said Brown.

“Each and every time he has disappointed those who have put their trust in him.”

Brown said he’s working to build a modern and inclusive PC party, “one where it doesn’t matter where you’re from, who you love, where you worship, what language you speak, or how much money you make.” And MacLaren doesn’t fit.

“Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that Jack MacLaren does not share these values,” Brown said.

RUN IN 2018 MacLaren, who will continue as MPP for

Carleton-Mississippi Mills until the next election, said he will run for the seat in Kanata-Carleton in 2018.

“I will seek the job of being MPP, again, but as a member of the Trillium Party,” he said. “I look forward to the race and to that campaign.”

He said the Trillium Party’s policies on items such as getting rid of the carbon tax, re-opening the sexual education policy debate and lowering hydro rates drew him to his decision.

“We’ve had flip-flopping on issues like the

sex-ed policy,” said MacLaren. “That’s a terrible way to handle things. That should be opened up to people and if people want to discuss the issue of sex ed and open it up for review, we should do that.”

MacLaren said he’s received “a lot of support” from his constituents for the switch.

“I’m getting tremendous feedback that this is the right thing to do,” he said.

MacLaren is the first and only sitting MPP for the Trillium Party.

Letter urging reinstatment of MPP

The following letter was sent to Ontario Conservative Party leader Patrick Brown as well as this newspaper: I would urge you to reinstate Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren to the caucus asap.

His removal so close to the nomination vote by the members in the riding signals that you have no intention to respect the wishes of the party members in the riding. In effect you deprive the members in the riding of their choice of candidates.

It demonstrates a significant of hubris on your part to not trust the membership

to make decisions affecting them. Your authority as party leader derives from the people whose decisions you obviously do not trust and it bodes badly for your future as a possible new premier of Ontario.

While many of us would like to see a new government in Ontario, the arrogance of the removal decision just prior to the nomination vote is not acceptable. Once a party leader forgets that his authority derives from the people, it makes one wonder if that dictatorial style would be the hallmark of you as the new premier.

You may be aware that during the last federal election, the “safe” riding of KanataCarleton was lost and ended up with a liberal candidate because the riding’s favorite candidate was disqualified by the Conservative Party of Canada.

The memberships and supporters did obviously not agree with the party decision not to let its favorite candidate run.

I also wonder if pecuniary motives played a role in the decision, namely contributions by the spouse of the candidate that you favor.

Little Ray’s Reptiles has offered a fun and interactive eco-education experience for both children and adults since 1995. At every presentation such as the recent one at the Carp Cooperative Nursery School, Little Ray’s Reptiles

staff both entertain and educate about the amazing animals that they have with them.

Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo is a privately funded zoo and animal rescue, the largest of its kind in Eastern Ontario. It was founded and is owned by the husband and wife team of Paul and Sheri Goulet.

Paul Raymond Goulet, better known as Little Ray, has been hooked on reptiles ever since he visited the San Diego Zoo when he was three years old and one of the keepers there let him touch a boa constrictor. It all began with a small collection of pet reptiles at home when he was in high school.

He had to give up his collection when he attended the University of Waterloo but when he returned home in 1995, he started up his collection again and that’s when Little Ray’s Reptile Adventure was born.

The reptile collection grew and in 2000 Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo opened to the public.

The once small business has grown into a large enterprise that now travels across Canada on a yearly basis doing educational presentations.

Dunrobin’s Armitage wins world cheer championship

BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

A six-hour drive, three times a week was the price Alexis Armitage paid to become a world champion.

The 21-year-old Dunrobin resident’s commitment to cheerleading paid off when her team, the Flyers All Starz Knockout cheerleading team based out of Pierrefonds, Quebec, won the All Girls International Level 5 world championship in Orlando, Florida on May 1. The competition is organized by the U.S. All Star Federation and is the top competition for club teams on the international circuit. Armitage was a karate practitioner when she made the switch to cheerleading 13 years ago.

“Someone at school mentioned cheerleading to me and I thought I’d give it a try,” she told the West Carleton Review. “The rest is history. I really liked working as part of a team.

On a bad day, your teammates are always reminding you of what you like about it.”

Her 23-person team, based out of Pierrefonds, practices three times a week, and Armitage would drive there from Dunrobin each day. This was her first year on the Flyers after spending

Dunrobin’s Alexis Armitage’s cheer team was named world champion following the May 1 championship hosted bt the U.S. All Star Federation. a year in Vancouver on the Ice Queens team. Armitage said she couldn’t afford to live in Vancouver and moved back home.

She had just missed the Flyers’ tryouts but there was an open spot on the team and her skill and experience earned her a spot.

“I was looking for a team that was

competitive,” Armitage said. “I knew a lot about the Flyers and I always looked up to them. They had provided me with inspiration before I had even joined them. I was lucky I didn’t have to replace anyone and they had a spot for me.”

There are three positions on a team – the flyers, bases and backspots. The

flyers are small and flexible and are the team members who do the aerial work, while the bases are responsible for securing the feet of the flyers and the backspots secure the ankles. All members of the team must be flexible, athletic and strong.

Did you know that a nursing home is different from a retirement home?

Retirement home: is a privately-owned residence that provides rental accommodation with care and services for seniors who can live independently with minimal to moderate support and are able to pay for this lifestyle with their own funds. There is no government funding. There are no restrictions on access to these facilities.

Nursing home: designed for people who require 24-hour nursing care and supervision, sometimes within a secure setting. A portion of the cost is covered by the government, with residents paying a co-payment for the remaining costs. The Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) facilitates access to nursing home.

elements including stunts, jumps, standing tumbling, running tumbling, basket toss, pyramid and dance. The world championship is a three-day tournament. During the first day the Flyers competes against all the Canadian teams and must finish in the Top 10 to advance. On day two, the team competes against all of the remaining teams and must finish in the Top Three in its country. Day three is the finals where the champion is crowned.

This year there were about 15 to 16 Canadian teams and around 60 teams in total in the Flyers division.

“The Flyers is the hardest team I have ever been on,” Armitage said.

“They work hard, they are intense but the coaches are great.”

Looking back at her commitment she says the work paid off.

“It was worth it,” Armitage said.

“People always think I’m crazy for doing all that driving, but now I can say look what it got me.”

Armitage started cheering in Barrie at eight. Her family moved to Dunrobin five years ago. She looked for a local squad and found Black Widow in Ottawa. But when she wanted to compete at a higher level, she needed to be part of a stronger team. In Vancouver she was part of the Ice Queens who finished seventh at worlds the year she was on the squad, before moving back home.

Teams have to earn a bid to get to the world championship. Bids are at the judge’s discretion and teams will compete at six or seven competitions in a year. The Flyers earned their bid at their very first competition.

“It’s a dream come true,” Armitage said of the championship. “It’s the thing you wish for when you are blowing out your birthday candles or see a shooting star. It’s incredible.”

And it was made all the more special by the fact her parents and brother drove down to Orlando to attend the competition in person. It was the first time her dad had seen her compete live at the championship.

“I’m so happy my family came to watch,” Armitage said. “It made the experience that much better.”

Cheerleading is a young person’s sport, and now Armitage is considering what to do next.

“I haven’t really decided,” she said.

“I was set on retiring and all my teammates keep asking me if I’m coming back. I was joking and said if we win world’s. Now they are using that against me. We’ll see what comes at try-outs. It’s a huge commitment, but my team is so great. It will be a hard decision.”

With the win comes more opportunities. The Flyers have opened a gym in Ottawa and coaching opportunities have become available for Armitage.

“I really enjoy coaching and I love working with kids,” she said.

RCSS TAB 1 West Carleton Review - Thursday, June 1, 2017 5

Special ‘Irish’ service to celebrate 136th anniversary Two-thirds of the Royal Army were stationed in Ireland and stayed there to keep down the endlessly rebellious Irish.

Irish was the term for the Gaelicspeaking Roman Catholic two-thirds of the population of Ireland who, suppressed by Penal Laws, clung fanatically to their religion as a last vestige of national identity. Presbyterians were also disadvantaged.

According to local historian Terry Currie, people commonly assume that the Presbyterians came from Scotland but they actually had left Scotland around 1600 to settle in Ireland and only a couple of centuries later did they come to Canada.

Currie cites recruitment after the Napoleonic wars ended in 1814 as a major spark to Irish immigration.

“The Anglican Church of Canada undertook a campaign to recruit Irish Anglicans to come to Upper Canada with gifts of free land and farming equipment to incoming colonists. As further incentive, the sellers could take advantage of very low travel costs thanks to the ships of the timber trade who dropped of their cargo in Britain and then filled up with colonist emigrants for the trip back to Quebec.

John Curry/Metroland The policy worked only too well; the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Kinburn is Presbyterians and Catholics took adholding a special “Irish” celebration to mark its 136th vantage of the British offer to come to Upper Canada as well. This area of anniversary on Sunday, June 4 at 11 a.m.

SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

It’s “Irish” time at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Kinburn this Sunday, June 4.

That’s when the church is holding a special “Irish” service at 11 a.m. to celebrate its 136th anniversary.

At this service, tribute will be paid to the contributions of Irish culture, music and humour as part of today’s heritage. Rev. Bob Hill will be the guest preacher. A light lunch will follow at the Kinburn Community Centre.

The flood of immigration from Ireland came in the 1800s for reasons of religious persecution, famine, poverty and, after 1830, ‘chain immigration’ through letters from family and friends already in Canada.

Ireland was run by and for the ‘Anglican Supremacy’.

western Carleton County was settled very heavily by Irish Anglicans but with a solid addition of Presbyterians and Catholics as seen recorded in the oldest maps of land settlement,” he notes.

By the 1890s some townships were reporting a population of 95 per cent Irish. Villages like Carp, Fitzroy Harbour and Carleton Place were notable hubs of Irish settlement.

‘All these immigrants enjoyed a wonderful new freedom in Canada, especially after it became truly democratic in 1841. They prospered and multiplied and filled the land. They wrote endless letters back to the old country urging

their relatives to leave the poverty and oppression of Ireland for freedom and prosperity in the new land. They had found peace and plenty in a cold country,’ Currie states.

These blessings will be celebrated along with the area’s Irish heritage with worship at St. Andrews in Kinburn this Sunday, June 4 at 11 a.m.

Wear green and be prepared for a rousing time!

Everyone is welcome to attend — those who are Irish and everyone else who wishes they were Irish!

Roots of St. Andrew’s go back to 1872 SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

While St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Kinburn dates back to 1881, the roots of the congregation go back almost a decade before that.

Beyond our Memory … a history of Fitzroy Township, edited by Karen Runtz, points out that it was in 1872 that a member of the congregation of Lowry Presbyterian Church at Marathon on the Fitzroy-Huntley township line presented a petition to the Ottawa Presbytery asking that 15 families in the Kinburn area be organized into their own congregation.

In 1873, Rev. James Stewart of Pakenham reported that he had met with the Kinburn group about the request.

Ground for a church was broken in 1880, with the site being donated by William Croskery. Much of the construction work for the new church was provided by the men of the new congregation.

The first worship service in the new church took place

in 1881. But, before this happened, the congregation held services in homes or the local schoolhouse or drill hall.

Robert H. Laughlin was the first baby to be christened in the new church, while Miss Lizzie Smith and Charles Murphy were the first couple to be wed at the church.

A highlight of the church’s 50th anniversary was a fivetiered birthday cake topped with 50 candles, which was a table centrepiece for a special supper celebration.

When St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church was built, the community of Kinburn was already more than 50 years old.

It was settled in 1830 by Christopher Armstrong, who built a hotel known as the Swamp Tavern — one of only two public stopping places between Ottawa and Arnprior. Kinburn got a post office in 1856.

In 1864, just a few years before the request for a new congregation was made, Kinburn had a school, blacksmith, shoemaker, general store, hotel, and

flour and grist mill.

Beyond our Memory … a history of Fitzroy Township provides several possibilities about how Kinburn got its name.

One of these is that it was named after a fortress in the Crimean War. Indeed, in their 1968 book, Carleton Saga, Harry and Olive Walker claim that this is where the name Kinburn came from.

Another explanation for the name Kinburn is that a family named Kinburn lived in the area at one time. However, available records do not show this to be the case.

Belden’s Atlas of 1879 shows Kinburn as the name of Capt.

Allen Fraser’s farm, on which most of Kinburn village is located.

The word “Kinburn” is derived from the Gaelic words “kin,” meaning a place such as a farm, house or town, and “Burn,” referring to a small brook or stream such as the one flowing through the Fraser farmstead into the Carp River.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Who has the last word?

I

t’s likely that many Ontarians breathed a sigh of relief when the provincial government announced its plan to scrap the Ontario Municipal Board.

The OMB has often been perceived as too friendly to property developers. To many people, the board was quick to grab its rubber stamp and approve developments that didn’t fit with existing neighbourhoods.

In theory, up until now, the City of Ottawa and other municipalities in Ontario decide what gets built within their borders. But decisions by city and town councils could be appealed to the OMB. Change is never easy to deal with – especially close to home – but appeals to the board have often seemed like bad movie sequels: predictable, but with unhappy endings.

The running theme has been developers who ask for unappealing elements – think of massive towers and postage-stamp parks – and then settle for slightly less height and slightly larger greenspaces. Cynics have to ask if the developer asked for the moon in order to get approval for their

preferred design because it was slightly less awful than the original request.

And in the background, the threat of an expensive OMB appeal kept city and town councils – and community groups – wary of holding back large-scale developments.

A new, less-powerful Local Planning Appeal Tribunal will take the place of the OMB. It’s not clear how the tribunal will work, or what kind of teeth it may have.

Will municipalities really be able to control their own growth? And what happens if a city or town council votes to stop all growth, or a council is filled with councillors who want highrises on every street?

The face of Ontario cities and towns could be stunted (along with construction jobs) or rebuilt ad nauseam depending on the tribunal’s decisions.

It’s clear there should be an appeal process if a property owner thinks a council has been unreasonable, but every case is different. Some development is OK, some doesn’t fit in.

Who has the last word? We don’t know just yet.

Sens are winners even if nation does not embrace them

O

ur town is under attack from across the nation.

Foolishly, we had dreams of our Senators becoming Canada’s team, after other Canadianbased hockey teams such as the Toronto Maple Leafs fell by the wayside early. But we should have known.

An Ottawa team could never be Canada’s team. Ottawa is the capital, for heaven’s sake. Bad things happen in capitals, according to those who don’t live in them, and even according to some who do. If you live elsewhere and you see “Ottawa” in a headline, it doesn’t mean our safe and beautiful city. It means the federal government. The odds are that at any given moment, about half of the people, if not more, don’t like the federal government and the word “Ottawa” is not likely to make them feel positive, even if it refers to a hockey team.

Mind you, it might be that nobody

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town in this country of strong regional loyalties and rivalries could really be Canada’s team. Provinces and cities are jealous of each other, have always been.

Given this, who could be Canada’s team. Toronto? Perhaps not. Montreal? Not as long as there are Torontonians. Vancouver? Maybe if it showed some interest in Canada. Edmonton couldn’t be Calgary’s team and Calgary couldn’t be Edmonton’s.

That leaves Winnipeg, which could possibly be Canada’s team at some point, because nobody hates Winnipeg, even if few visit it. Winnipeg has Vice President & Regional Publisher Peter Bishop pbishop@metroland.com 613-283-3182

to get a better team, though, for it to be Canada’s.

We have had that better team in Ottawa, but have not received the intense gratitude that we feel is our due.

In addition to all the other negative stereotypes, we have had to fight the perception, gleefully fostered by our enemies, that we who live in this city don’t care about our team, don’t care about the Senators.

Attendance figures have been cited in support of this argument. A couple of Senators home playoff games were not sold out, and people couldn’t wait to make much of that. Some plausible explanations have been presented, mostly by Ottawans. They have to do with the local economy, the location of the arena, competing events (hey, a big professional soccer game the same night as Game 6), jacked-up prices (even for parking!) and antagonism on the part of some directed at the owner.

But our enemies are not convinced.

This wouldn’t happen in any other NHL city, they say, with no evidence presented to back that up. And then the old Ottawa stereotypes are trotted out. We are boring (and play boring hockey, say the folks from the cities that either didn’t make the playoffs or departed earlier). We are not a real hockey town (like, say, Phoenix).

Worst of all, we are a government town, a designation that implies all manner of apathy and inertia, if not outright evil.

All this because a few hundred people didn’t fight the traffic on a couple of nights.

It is a mug’s game to get drawn into that argument. To fight the accusation of apathy, you could cite the thousands who show up on race weekend, both to race and to support the racers.

That would only be used as evidence that we are insufficiently devoted to

Benefit concert will be an evening of acoustic music It’s an evening of acoustic music featuring performances

music student of Stephan’s, will be accompanying Carolyn and Stephan in their performances.

An added musical treat is that Stephan will be joined in his performance by his 27-year-old son Benjamin who will be flying in from Europe where he has been touring with Cirque Eloize.

Benjamin, an All Saints High School graduate, is a full-time professional musician who has recorded CDs, DVDs and videos.

This concert will be taking place on Saturday, June 10 at 7 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church at Woodlawn. Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased by calling 613-6233882. Tickets will also be able to be purchased at the door.

The concert will not only feature great music with a full set of songs from each of the performers but it is a benefit concert, with all of the funds raised going to local food security causes.

When it was originally planned, the proceeds were going to go to the West Carleton Food Access Centre and the Canadian Food Grains Project as food security is one of St. Thomas’ central missions. As a result of the recent flooding crisis and its aftermath, the funds raised will be used to help local flood victims and their food security needs.

In the concert, Carolyn Beeton will be performing all cover tunes while Stephan will be presenting a set of original songs. Rosemary and Terry Gone will be singing both originals and covers.

Stephan says that the evening will be enterJohn Curry/Metroland taining, noting that people loved a similar benSt. Thomas Anglican Church at Woodlawn is the site of a benefit concert on Saturday, efit concert last year.

blend of folk, new country, classic rock and children’s music for more than 35 years. Known as a composer, lyricist, recording artist, recording engineer, record producer, entertainer, actor and educator, he has written hundreds of songs. He has his own record label, Focus Records, and his own recording studio Focus Sound. In the past year, he has recorded CDs for several other artists.

He is currently in production of two new vinyl albums of his own, which will be coproduced with his son Benjamin and daughter Mara, scheduled for release in 2018.

He also teaches guitar, bass guitar, piano, music theory and voice in his studio, drawing students from West Carleton, Kanata and Ottawa and surrounding areas. Over the years, he has taught hundreds of young people from the area and he remains a committed private music educator.

For over 25 years, Stephan and his family were the choir at three different local parishes — St. Isidore’s, St. Michael’s Corkery and St. Michael’s Fitzroy Harbour. This past year was the first time that they had not sung at church at Christmas time, as Benjamin and daughter Mara, 25, who is making a name for herself in the Toronto music scene, were unavailable.

Stephan has also taught a private guitar program at the Venta Preparatory School in Carp and has given private lessons at All Saints Catholic High School. His involvement with youth has extended to hockey, basketball and soccer where he has coached.

See STEPHAN NESRALLAH, page 13

Stephan Nesrallah began as an actor, switched to music Continued from page 12

Indeed, he coached competitive soccer in Kanata and West Carleton for over 12 years.

The U14 boys soccer team that he coached won the Premier Division Title for Eastern Ontario in 2004.

Recently Stephan has performed at benefit concerts raising money to help Syrian refugees settling in Canada and has organized and performed at concerts raising funds to support mental illness initiatives.

He says that his main focus now when he performs is performing for causes in which he believes such as mental health and his ongoing support for refugee families in the area.

While he admits that his “primary gift” is

song writing, he says that he considers himself an entertainer not just a musician. His goal is to make sure that the audience has a great time when they attend a concert in which he is performing.

This will be his goal at the June 10 benefit concert at St. Thomas Anglican Church at Woodlawn.

Stephan has had a performance career extending more than 35 years. He began as an actor, active with the Sock & Buskin theatre group at Carleton University in Ottawa where he performed with his friend Dan Aykroyd of Blues Brothers fame.

He eventually ended up acting at the Stratford Festival, performing in numerous Shake-

spearean plays and Broadway musicals. But while in Stratford, music was also part of his life as well. He would be a busker outside the theatre before performances, just for the experience of entertaining an audience. He would also perform at the fabled Black Swan after the show. And he even worked it out so that after an evening performance on stage, when the theatre was empty and darkened, he could go and sit on the stage, play and visualize what it would be like to perform in concert as a musician at such a venue.

And so, after five seasons at Stratford, Stephan gave up his acting career to devote full time to his music.

He took further studies in music at the University of Ottawa and began his entertainment career, which has included creating original music for a number of theatrical productions, and releasing two successful vinyl albums, Space Traveller and Transition which saw seven singles taken from them receive extensive airplay both nationally and internationally. His single Nightwings from the album Space Traveller rose to number one on the Canadian music charts at the time.

Stephan and his music partner Dave Kalil, known as “Kalil and Nesrallah,” became one of the most popular musical duos of their time, touring up to 46 weeks a year and playing to sold out audiences. They played at venues along with some of today’s top comedians such as Jim Carrey and Howie Mandel.

In his musical career, Stephan has always made time for and worked closely with the mentally and physically challenged, youth organizations and children in general. He has lectured at universities, colleges, secondary and elementary schools, conducting workshops in music and theatre funded in part by the Ontario Arts Council. He has served as a guest conductor for the children’s choir at St. Michael’s Catholic School in Fitzroy

Harbour.

From 1987 to 1992, Stephan toured schools in Ontario, Labrador and Newfoundland and parts of the U.S.A. with the late storyteller, author, founder of Youth Corps, and Order Of Canada recipient Father Tom McKillop. Their widely acclaimed concert presentations combined music and story telling with the themes “Youth — The Journey In Search Of Meaning” and “Becoming Real” both based on the works of Dr. Viktor Frankl. They provided tens of thousands of young people, parents and educators with a forum to deal with the hopes, dreams, fears and anxieties which young people face every day. This program was just one of the reasons Father Tom received his Order Of Canada medal.

For 20 years, during the months of November and December, Stephan performed a unique children’s Christmas show featuring Kermit the Frog which he cocreated with music partner Dave Kalil. This show was performed at CHEO, major corporations, department stores, for the Prime Minister’s Office, the Parliamentary Spouses Children’s Christmas party, private parties, on television and radio and for numerous charities.

Stephan has appeared nationally numerous times on the CBC TV Concert in the Park series as well as on various music variety shows on CTV, CBC and Global. Two of his songs from the Space Traveller album were featured in the music introduction of the renowned Global TV show Sportsline.

Stephan has lived in West Carleton for 30 years now.

Gilks Signs and Trophies celebrated 35 years of business on Saturday, May 27 with a sidewalk sale and customer appreciation barbecue.

Welcome to West Ottawa!

Jake Davies/Metroland

Celebrating 35 years of celebrations

BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

Four locations, several embroidering machines and thousands of satisfied customers are the hallmarks of Gilks Signs and Trophies’ 35 years in business.

Gilks celebrated the anniversary with a barbecue and sidewalk sale on Saturday, May 27.

“That was the game plan, we always wanted to grow,” owner Karen-Ann Gilks said.

The family owned

business was started out of her and husband Gary’s basement on Arthur Street, before moving to Second Avenue and then to a storefront on Daniel Street.

In 2015, the business moved to its new 7,800 sq. ft. showroom and factory on 74 River Road. They now have 17 embroidery machines.

“We started with 1,200 square feet,” Gilks said. “We now have the space to really put it out. We have great parking, a nice

showroom and great staff – that’s the main thing.

Most of them have 10 to 30 years experience. This is the final location.”

Gilks says the move allows them to display products better and process orders quicker.

For Gilks, 35 years have created a lot of memories – some of them not so great, but she is able to look back at them fondly now.

“Pulling all nighters to have trophies and awards ready,” she said when asked about her

strongest memories.

“There are a lot of late nights when you run your own business.”

Gilks says, being in the business they are in, for as long as they have been in it, provides her with lots of evidence of the job they’ve been doing.

“I love looking at our work,” she said proudly.

“Just reading the newspaper you get to see all our clothing and the awards we’ve designed. We get to join in on everyone else’s celebrations.”

‘James and the Giant Peach’ at ADHS SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

Two Rivers Musicals presents James and the Giant Peach at Arnprior District High School (ADHS) this week.

Show times are Wednesday, May 31 to Friday, June 2 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, June 3 at 2 p.m.

The story follows newly-orphaned James and his reluctant, oversized insect travelers as they escape James’ nasty aunts in a giant peach.

While they search for belonging and the courage to love after loss, they discover that the word “family” can mean far more than just who you are related to. This entertaining musical includes incredible puppets, superb singing and music that will delight school-aged children and up!

‘Court is in session’ thanks to Carp Tennis Club SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

Court was in session in Carp on Saturday, May 27.

No, it had nothing to do with the criminal justice system but rather everything to do with fun and fitness as the tennis courts in Carp were filled with players. It was opening day for the Carp Tennis Club this season.

The event was marked by an open house running from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with live tennis lessons thanks to Adamson’s Tennis Academy at 1 p.m. and a draw for two Head tennis racquets valued at $220 each at 2 p.m.

— one for a returning member and one for a new member. And, oh yes, there was free pizza available as well.

The day was sunny and warm, perfect for tennis, making for an ideal opening day for

the season.

The Carp Tennis Club is a volunteer-run club that is a member of the National Capital Tennis Association and also, for the first time this year, the Ontario Tennis Association (OTA).

A recent school program arranged through the OTA helped result in 48 youngsters taking part in a Capital Kids introduction to tennis program which ran for four Monday evenings at the Carp tennis courts, ending on May 29.

The Carp Tennis Club, working in partnership with the City of Ottawa, offers instruction, tournaments, summer camps and social events. Its mission is to promote an active and healthy outdoor lifestyle in a fun environment for adults, children and families.

Ian Ramsay is the club’s acting president, as well as treasurer. Helga Connor is the secretary while Thomas Bucher is the club’s program director. Sid Naas is the grounds director while Sheila Gallagher handles marketing and Penny Pelton looks after membership.

Annual membership fees are $135 for a family, $75 for a single adult, $50 for a student (13 years of age and older) and $30 for a junior (12 years of age and under). Membership applications can be submitted online or by printing out the application form and mailing it to the Carp Tennis Club, P.O. Box 237, Carp, ON K0A 1L0.

Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. are Club Night Play nights which is a casual fun evening of tennis for all skill

WHAT IS THE DAVE SMITH YOUTH TREATMENT CENTRE?

Charitable Registration #: 83900 3803 RR0001

Every year, thousands of Ontario youth fall victim to serious substance abuse. Left untreated, these issues can tear families apart and lead to a lifetime of addiction. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre offers life-saving intervention for our youth, aged 13 - 21. Kids who graduate from our program can venture to dream about a better life.

Our new treatment centre will let us transform our already successful program from good to extraordinary. Supporters of Dave’s Dream fundraising campaign will help us take this step towards greater impact in our community by helping restore quality of life to families and reducing the fallout of addiction.

Cycle for Sight in West Carleton

BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Bicycle wheels will be spinning on West Carleton roads on Sunday, June 4.

The 2017 Cycle for Sight Ottawa cycling event will be starting and ending at the Carp fairgrounds with routes of varying lengths following West Carleton roads.

Participating cyclists will have distances from 30-km to 100-km from which they can choose, all with en route mechanical and EMS support.

The routes will also have multiple rest stops with food and drink. And, of course, there will be a finish line party for participants.

The fundraising goal for this year’s Cycle for Sight Ottawa for the Foundation Fighting Blindness is $75,000.

All participants must register as a rider ($50 per rider as of March 10) and raise a minimum of $200 in pledges.

Co-chairs of this year’s Cycle for Sight Ottawa event are Thane Tremaine and Jonathan Nix. Executive committee members are Heather Christy, Mays Lei, Nicole Hill, Matt Hunter, Gissou Ataee, Carol Lithwick and Philip Zunder.

Matthew Hunter is also serving as the 2017 ambassador for Cycle for Sight. Matt was a young boy in the late 1980s when he developed a rare tumour which affected his sight.

After 10 years of the tumour being stable, it began to grow again, putting more pressure on his optic nerve. This caused him to become legally blind.

There are currently no remedies or cures for his condition. But he takes part in Cycle for Sight because he believes that successful research in the near future may give sight to those who today have vision impairments.

He also loves cycling.

There are Cycle for Sight events now happen not only in Ottawa but in Toronto, Alberta, Newfoundland and British Columbia. Since 2009, various Cycle for Sight events have raised more than $3.7 million in support of the Foundation Fighting Blindness whose mission is to lead the fight against blindness by advancing retinal disease research, increasing awareness and public education and increasing hope and sight. Over 1 million Canadians are living with blinding retinal eye diseases. The Foundation Fighting Blindness has invested $30 million to support vision research across Canada since 1974.

DEATH NOTICE

(March 20, 1915 – May 21, 2017) With great sadness, we announce that our beloved mother, nanny and friend, Gussie Thompson passed away at Southlake Village, Newmarket while surrounded by loved ones on Sunday evening, May 21st, 2017 after more than 102 years of life. A former longtime resident of Arnprior, Gussie moved to Newmarket several years ago to be closer to her family.

TOPS Chapter in Carp meets on Tuesdays

BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

Carp has a TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) Chapter, namely No. 5421.

It meets on Tuesdays in Carp.

Although membership is currently about five members, the chapter is trying to recruit more members. It has placed publicity posters around the village of Carp and is hoping that word of mouth is taking the message to others in the community.

The chapter is considering holding an open

house night in September to try to attract more members.

But whether membership increases or not, the Carp Chapter 5421 is going to continue as the members enjoy each other’s company and will keep meeting to do so.

Three Carp TOPS Chapter members, Margaret Dunn, Karen Pritchard and Rosemary McDonald, attended the 50th anniversary celebration of the Stittsville TOPS Chapter 0373 in Stittsville on Thursday, May 25.

Current president of the Stittsville TOPS Chapter is Hester Shackleton of Carp who has

been a TOPS member since 1976, belonging to chapters in Bells Corners, Carp and now Stittsville over that time.

She lost 40 pounds thanks to her involvement with TOPS. TOPS Club Inc. is a nonprofit charitable corporation based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the United States. There are TOPS Chapters around the world although most are located in the United States and Canada.

TOPS Club Inc. was founded in 1948 in response to a need to help overweight people to lose weight by setting up a support group. TOPS Chapters place an emphasis on nutrition, exercise, motivation and wellness. Members meet weekly for weight recording (a weigh-in) and a main session that either deals with education or involves a special recognition event such as honouring the member who lost the most pounds in the month.

TOPS Chapters also have a KOPS (Keep Off Pounds Sensibly) component. This is a designation that serves as an incentive for members who reach a weight goal and maintain it.

New stormwater fee added to final property tax bills

Ottawa properties not currently receiving a water bill have had a new stormwater fee added to their final property tax bill for 2017.

The new stormwater fee will be phased in over the next four years to allow property owners to adjust: 2017 – 25% | 2018 – 50% 2019 – 75% | 2020 – 100%

All properties benefit from stormwater services, but prior to the new fee, only those who received a water bill paid for these services. That is why the City is re-introducing a stormwater fee for all properties in 2017.

New! Register for paperless billing through My Service Ottawa on ottawa.ca.

For more information, please visit ottawa.ca/wws.

$400,000 for pothole repair

A motion by Mayor Jim Watson will provide a much-needed top-up for the road services budget this year, as record snowfalls, multiple freeze-thaw cycles, and other wacky weather patterns have created potholes everywhere.

The motion was approval by council on May 24 and will see a $2.5-million infusion for road repair and another $400,000 added for pothole repair.

Chair of the city’s transportation committee Coun.

Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Hosting US Delegation I had the honour of assisting the Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport, in hosting U.S. Congressman Bill Shuster, Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, along with the rest of his Congressional delegation, as they arrived in Ottawa to learn more about Canada’s air navigation system. NAV Canada has been a highly successful model for the provision of air navigation services. It has become a world-leader in technology and innovation.

Community Visits I always enjoy visiting constituents both young and old while in the riding for the constituency weeks, and this past week was no exception. It was great to spend the morning speaking with the residents of Stonehaven Retirement Community in Kanata.

I was also happy to visit All Saints High School, where I spent time with two groups of students, including the group who recently returned for their tour of Vimy.

We sat down and discussed a wide range of issues and questions that arose from their visit. A tour of Vimy can be a very sobering experience and I was happy to be present while they shared their thoughts and feelings.

Kanata Youth Council I held the last session of the Kanata Youth Council meeting this past week. For the past 6 months I have had the privilege of engaging with 14 young constituents, talking about the various issues of concern to them.

For the past several weeks we worked on a project designed to promote awareness and education about the opioid/fentanyl crisis in our community, and our country. It has been an absolute pleasure working with these fine young men and women – who have such great ideas about the future. I want to thank them all for their engagement and enthusiasm, and I look forward to starting a new session in the fall.

Business Tours It was great to visit two Kanata-based companies this week: Nokia and Solace. Nokia is well known for their technology in many areas of communication, and Solace is a Canadian tech company specializing in data movement technology for corporate and government messaging fabrics. We had great discussions how we can all work together to make Kanata the centre for high tech industry in Canada.

Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all.

30 West Carleton Review - Thursday, June 1, 2017

Where are you,Charlie Brown, where are you?

SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

Charlie Brown, where are you?

This is not referring to the beloved Peanuts cartoon character Charlie Brown but rather to an equally beloved brown standard poodle affectionately known as Charlie Brown that is owned by Sandy Edmonds. The dog has been missing since Nov. 28, 2016 when he was last seen at the Morris Island Conservation Area in West Carleton.

Since then, there have been reported sightings of the dog from areas of West Carleton as well as Kanata. But there has been no confirmed sighting, even though Sandy has checked out many of them.

Sandy has played flyers all over West Carleton, raising awareness about Charlie Brown and seeking any information possible. Advertisements have been put in the paper as well, all to no avail. Charlie Brown is still missing and Sandy is still looking for him.

Sandy has had Charlie Brown since he was an eightweek-old pup. He had always been a very independent dog, spending lots of time outside patrolling the yard for

squirrels and chipmunks. He is also a clown who loves to be the centre of attention, with his favourite game being chasing his Frisbee.

Charlie Brown has spent several years in agility with WAG, the West Carleton Dog Agility Group.

Although active outdoors, he has a very calm demeanour indoors and has been a popular visitor at a Kanata retirement home where residents lined up to have a chance to pet him and tell about their own beloved pets.

Since Charlie Brown went missing last

November, Sandy has followed up on many reported sightings all the way from Morris Island itself to Kanata including the Kinburn area.

Sandy has set numerous trail cams in the area and has walked many kilometres through snow and bush following canine tracks.

Sandy has contacted veterinarians, dog groomers, shelters and animal rescues all around the Ottawa area but again to no avail.

Right now, Sandy does not know what to think. Is Charlie Brown living somewhere in

the wild or did someone find him and take him in, not realizing that he was missing from his owner.

A generous reward is being offered for information leading to Charlie Brown’s safe return. Sandy is taking solace in the fact that some missing dogs have been reunited with their owners even after years. Sandy still is hoping that Charlie Brown will be found.

More information and photos of Charlie Brown are available at https://www.facebook.com/helpcharliebrown/. Sandy can also be contacted on 613-889-0286.

A weekly guide in legal matters

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

Work at my business has slowed down quite a bit this year. I currently have 11 employees but there is not enough work to go around. I should be getting a set of new contracts that will keep everyone busy this summer, but I’d like to make some temporary layoffs in the meantime to avoid having to let anyone go for good. I’ve discussed this with business colleagues who told me that temporary layoffs are not permitted for non-unionized employees.

What are my options?

The law applicable to temporary layoffs in Ontario can be confusing. The Employment Standards Act does allow temporary layoffs of up to 13 weeks in a 20 week period. In certain seasonal industries, such as construction, temporary layoffs over the winter months are fairly common. However, in other workplaces courts in Ontario have treated temporary layoffs as constructive dismissals and have ordered employers to provide termination and severance pay.

contract. Depending on the nature of the work, such layoffs may even be permitted when an employee is working with an unwritten contract. A temporary layoff is also more likely to be permitted if an employee remains entitled to benefits and can access Employment Insurance during their time off. During any such layoff it is important to inform the employee that the layoff is temporary and to provide them with a return to work date. Finally, a temporary layoff should In recent years, some Ontario court decisions have allowed not be used as a form of discipline to punish an employee temporary layoffs provided employers comply with both the for misconduct – that will most certainly result in a claim for Employment Standards Act and the terms of the employee’s constructive dismissal.

2nd SECTION

Volunteer efforts focused on rebuilding after the flood

BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

The Constance Bay/Buckham’s Bay Community Centre is full of people coming, people going, people trying to put their homes and lives back together.

Some are picking up industrial humidifiers, generators, hoses, gasoline, anti-mould spray, clean drinking water, Red Cross flood buckets and other clean-up supplies.

Others are collecting information or registering with the various services inside the centre, the Red Cross, Ottawa’s public health department, social services and the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. Some are here just for a shower, to gret laundry done and to feel whole again.

Meanwhile, there is a ton of people going too. Volunteer sandbag crews, volunteer tear down crews and outreach groups seeing what kind of help residents may need.

Every day, 120 positions are filled at the centre, from labour work, providing services, food, fundraising, coordination, information technology and communications.

“Right now is the quietest I’ve seen the centre since the first day (Thursday, May 4),” said community association president Angela Bernhardt.

“I didn’t have to hunt for a parking spot.”

The community centre, a long-time hub of Constance Bay, has been completely converted to a fully functioning flood disaster emergency centre.

“The facility is running 24 hours a day,” long-time resident and full-time volunteer Len Russell said.

“It’s been operating as a command centre from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day since the flood.

Up to this weekend it’s been seven days a week.

“We are probably the best served community in Ottawa right now and I haven’t said that too often since amalgamation.”

Russell met with the West Carleton Review on Friday, May 26 to share an update on the work volunteers are doing and what the next steps are for those affected by the flood.

Flood affects 630 homes

From Page 33

And although things are starting to slow down at the flood centre, there is still lots of work to do and people who need help.

In Constance Bay alone, about 300 houses were flooded, some right in to the first floor of their homes, 630 homes were damaged.

“Water levels are fairly normal now of this week,” Russell said. “But houses were still pumping last Monday. What we’re doing right now is a lot of specialized work.”

Starting this past week, the hours have been reduced to noon to 8 p.m.

Helping out with the work are Samaritan’s Purse Disaster Relief and Mennonite Disaster Services. Russell said they arrived last week.

“They want to be here after the water goes,” he said. “They are hands on, they rip it out, dry it up and put it back together. The first of those houses will be finished this week. There’s a lot of low-income houses and seniors here that need help.

We’ve been sending crews out to help rip out old, wet drywall, floors, sub floors and other wet

and damaged property. Our regular crews will pick up a list of five or six houses who need assistance and head out for the day.”

For Constance Bay the clean up began on May 10 at homes that were accessible. Cleanup crews have now assisted at about 60 homes since that time.

Another 40 homes have had wet garbage removed.

“Even today, which is as slow as it goes, about 90 volunteers are working,” Russell said.

Russell says about 1,500 volunteers have registered since May 4, but expects that number is much higher as “the Constance Bay volunteers don’t register, they just start helping out.”

While the centre is a launching point for work crews, it’s also a landing spot for affected flood victims.

There are all kinds of supplies available for those in need.

Generators, sump pumps, shop vacuums, industrial dehumidifiers, heavy-duty fans, expensive equipment the average homeowner doesn’t own. Ottawa has set up several services to assist flood victims including a public health department, the Red Cross has a presence, there

is food, cell phones, water-testing kits, and other emergency supplies.

“We were running a gas depot here,” Russell said. “When your sitting at your home at night, watching your pump run, you want to be sure you can get fuel if you run out.”

The city has even provided an information technology staff member to ensure all the computers, networks and communications run smoothly.

Sixty-year resident Shawn Mahood was at the relief centre to pick up some supplies, get some advice and take a hot shower. He returned from Toronto last week to find his house flooded.

“It’s taken an eternity for the water to go down,” Mahood said. “I didn’t come home from Toronto for a couple of days because I was told there was nothing I could do. Thank goodness for the relief centre or I’d be up the creek. I was astonished with all the volunteer help and equipment available.”

He still has no water and no electricity.

“I was just glad to arrive and see my house was still there,” See VOLUNTEER on Page 35

Volunteers primary power behind residents return to home From Page 34

Mahood said. “I consider myself one of the lucky ones.”

Following his shower, Mahood is ready to get back to work.

“I feel like a real person again,” Mahood said. “You guys keep impressing me more and more.”

Now that Constance Bay is firmly entrenched in the clean-up phase, new problems are popping up.

With all the dampness, mosquito season is in full effect and, in an area well-known for the biting bugs, this could be one of the worst years ever, “Apparently if you break up ivory soap and put it on the water, it creates a film that prevents them from reproducing,” Russell said.

“That was one of the odd jobs that was being done.”

Another problem, a much bigger problem, is mould.

“It’s big, if you clean it up you’re okay,” Russell said. “Things were wet for a while, damp, humid, then the heat comes and that activates it. A lot of people think they should apply heat to the mould. That just activates it.”

A popular item at the centre is the antimould spray and each person who comes to the centre is walked through the clean up steps.

“Ninety per cent of what’s going on now is drying,” Russell said.

“The dream is to have everyone back in their homes by July 1,” Bernhardt said.

“There are some homes where that won’t be possible, but the focus moving forward will be repairs. At the end of the day, the goal is to get people back in their houses without a lot of financial hardships.”

Despite the sleepless nights, long days and affects of dealing with a tragedy affecting a whole town, Russell has seen a lot of positive stuff as well.

“The flood wiped out a third of our volunteer base,” he said.

“We were overwhelmed by the offers of help.

Not only by our own community, but by the whole city. It’s 10 times what anyone could expect. There wasn’t a business that did not contribute something.

“But you expect it out here. What we didn’t expect was the response we got from Kanata and Ottawa.

“A lot of groups that came out that first day, came out again and again. You wouldn’t expect the Tamil Society to send people but they did.

The response has been amazing.”

West Carleton sites in Doors Open Ottawa SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

Jake Davies/Metroland

Hair today, gone tomorrow

Tim Byrne gets his head shaved by Krystal Byrne as part of a Team Mary Fundraiser for the Brain Tumour Foundation in Pakenham, Saturday, May 27. The Byrne family raised $6,000 last year in honour of matriarch Mary who passed away in 2015. For 15 years the family annually takes part in the walk to support the Brain Tumour Foundation.

Large Selection of Azalea & Weigela in full bloom

The Canadian Space Services facility at 2336 Craig’s Side Rd., off Carp Road will be open to the public for the Doors Open Ottawa event on Sunday, June 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

NATO and the Canadian Department of National Defense built this facility as a satellite communications station in 1960. A 68-foot diameter metal space frame radar dome on the roof provides environmental protection for the 50-foot diameter satellite communications antenna which it houses. This antenna provided satellite communications with all NATO countries until 1999 when the facility was sold to Canadian Space Services.

Canadian Space Services, which was founded in 1970, serves the defence, air traffic control and weather radar sectors.

This Canadian Space Services facility is only one of several unique structures in Carp that will be part of the Doors Open Ottawa event.

The Carleton Masonic Lodge 465 at 3704 Carp Rd. will be open to the public as part of Doors Open Ottawa on Saturday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This building has been home to the Masonic lodge since 1925. An earlier lodge, built in 1904, was destroyed by fire in 1920.

The familiar Exhibit Hall at the Carp fairgrounds will also be part of

this year’s Door Open Ottawa event.

Located at 3790 Carp Rd. on the Carp fairgrounds, Carp Exhibit Hall will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 3.

The Exhibit Hall is a red painted frame building with white trim. It is one of the few remaining octagonal fairgrounds buildings still in use even though they used to be popular across Ontario.

No visit to Carp, of course, is complete without a visit to the Diefenbunker, which terms itself “Canada’s Cold War Museum.”

Located at 3929 Carp Rd., the Diefenbunker will be open for viewing on Saturday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday, June 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

There will be free tours given (both in English and French) but they are by reservation only. Visit www.diefenbunker.ca to reserve a place.

The Diefenbunker is a four-storey Cold War bunker built to protect government officials and operations from a nuclear attack on Ottawa. Once top secret, this underground facility is now open year round as a museum.

Ottawa Fire Services Station 64 at 475 Donald B. Munro Dr. in Carp will be open as part of this year’s Doors Open Ottawa event on Saturday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors will be able to tour the fire hall, getting up close to fire trucks and chatting with

the volunteer firefighters.

The Ottawa Fire Services Station 84 at 3449 Old Almonte Rd. at Corkery will also be open as part of this year’s Doors Open Ottawa event on Saturday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

St. Mary’s Anglican Church at 2574 Sixth Line Rd. at Dunrobin will be part of this year’s Doors Open Ottawa event. It will be open to the public on Saturday, June 3 from 12 noon to 4 p.m. and again on Sunday, June 4 from 12 noon to 4 p.m.

This present-day St. Mary’s was built in 1909 after the Old St. Mary’s at Pinhey’s Point which was built in 1827 was deemed structurally unsafe.

May of the church’s pews and interior fixtures are from the Old St. Mary’s Church which was one of the first Anglican churches in the area.

The Pinhey’s Point Historic Site at 270 Pinhey’s Point Rd. at Dunrobin will also be part of this year’s Doors Open Ottawa event. It will be open for visitors on Saturday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and again on Sunday, June 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Doors Open Ottawa is a free annual architectural event that celebrates the community’s built heritage. It provides visitors with an opportunity explore the interior of buildings that are not necessarily always open to the public.

This year over 150 buildings across the City of Ottawa are participating in the Doors Open Ottawa event.

It’s called Secret Eats Tour for a reason. The four food stops on the tour are secret, comprising a surprise element for participants.

This Secret Eats Tour, a new Agri 150 experience presented by the Ottawa 2017 Bureau and mayor Jim Watson in collaboration with partner CIBC, will take participants to four stops in the West CarletonMarch ward. The tour is also being presented in collaboration with Savour Ottawa.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Things are out of balance out on the farm W DIANA FISHER

e lost another calf this week. It has been a bad year for deficiencies in the cattle. I am thinking it must have something to do with last year’s drought. The hay the cows ate last fall and over the winter just didn’t have enough nutrients.

Out of a season of 12 new calves, we had two otherwise healthy looking calves that refused to eat. We tried everything.

We gave them extra colostrum and a shot of selenium, bottle fed them with milk replacer formula and even sent a tube down into the stomach of one of the calves, to fill his belly. Nothing worked. Both calves died. Talk about depressing.

The last calf made it through the first two days with no apparent problems.

But on day three she lay down in the far meadow and refused to get up. It was the bull who notified me. He started running up the field toward the house, bawling all the way. The rest of

The Accidental Farmwife the cattle stopped what they were doing and followed him.

It’s a bit alarming to hear what sounds like thunder, and look out your window to see your entire herd passing by your window at a full gallop. I went outside to see what was going on and everyone started mooing like crazy.

Then I spotted the little black puddle of fur at the back of the pasture. I pulled my boots on and trekked back there through the mud and the muck. Mama was standing

over her baby. She had obviously been nudging her, trying to make her stand, because she was covered in mud and bits of grass. I tried but failed to lift the heavy calf. When the Farmer came home he ferried her back to the house on the front of his ATV. For the next two days we fed bottles of milk replacer to the calf.

All day long and into the night the mama moaned and cried that her baby wouldn’t get up to feed. The bull echoed

her sad song with his own plaintive cry. Finally, the calf died in her sleep.

I get so mad when this happens. But really, we tried everything. Sometimes there is just nothing you can do. I fed the mama calf an apple and after a few hours she gave up her vigil to join the rest of the herd in the field.

It’s a good thing we have something new to enjoy on the farm.

Our new Golden Retriever pup, Fergus, is the highlight

of every day. Yes, he won’t stop biting our fingers and chewing our furniture. But he is adorable. This morning he got himself stuck under the couch. I have a video of him struggling to fight his way out of the elasticized sofa cover. Every time I pulled him out he went back in. Eventually he fell asleep in there. In a few more weeks he will be surprised to discover he no longer fits under the furniture.

He is a mischievous little dude but I am very impressed with his intelligence and ability to learn.

In less than 48 hours from his arrival on the farm he had learned where he was expected to relieve himself. I picked a spot in the long grass at the end of the mowed lawn so I don’t have to clean up dog droppings all the time. Now I just have to remember to check him for ticks every time he comes into the house.

The only thing that I am really having trouble getting

a handle on is the digging. I have blocked off the entrances to the dark, intriguing spaces under the porch so that he can no longer burrow under there and eat mud, twigs and stones.

But I can’t block off the entire driveway. He is digging holes in the low spots where puddles have formed and eating clumps of mud before I can catch up to him. I hope he outgrows this weird food craving soon.

I am going to have to buy some kind of fence for my vegetable garden – not to keep out the groundhogs, who rarely show any interest, but to deter my dog from racing around in there, uprooting seedlings and breaking my tomato plants.

I think Fergus is pretty happy with his life on the farm.

Now if we can only get the cats to come up out of the basement.

Gardens focus of spring Red Trillium Studio Tour

BY JAKE DAVIES

jake.davies@metroland.com

The gardens are green, the artisan work is assembled and the spring Red Trillium Studio and Garden Tour is ready to welcome you all this weekend.

This is the 18th spring edition and the 36th tour in total for the artists of West Carleton who host the self-guided tour twice a year.

The popular event is all set with 13 official stops and 24 world-class artists and gardeners set to welcome you in to their studio and gardens to share their work.

This year’s tour boasts more gardens than ever.

“This year we have five gardens on the tour and it is a bit of a focus for the spring tour,” gardener and potter Lynda Soper said from her beautiful home near MacLaren’s Landing.

“We moved the tour from its tradition Mother’s Day date to June 3 and 4 to make sure the gardens had more time to mature.”

There are a few new artists as well.

Painter Carol Donovan has joined the tour and iron worker Luc Ouellette as well.

“He does the old style of forging,” Lynda said.

Brenda and Trevor Cole and Lis Allison will be sharing their gardens

with visitors for the first time as well.

The Red Trillium Studio Tour is a juried tour, meaning artisans have to be of a particular standard to be selected as stops on the tour.

Lynda and John Soper have been a part of the tour for the last 15 years.

Painter and fine art textile producer Mette Baker is enjoying her fifth year on the tour.

Wood worker Steve Duffield has been a member of the tour for two years after his daughter Megan Duffield, who creates women’s clothing, finally convinced him to join.

“Talking to people, that’s what I love,” he said about being a part of the event. “I wouldn’t have done it if weren’t for my daughter nudging me into it.”

“I get (and give) free gardening advice,” Lynda added. “The sharing of ideas and the passion.”

“We don’t do it for the money,” Duffield said, although all the artisans will have items for sale.

“I’ve done well though,” Baker points out. “It’s been unexpectedly good.”

For those interested in taking the tour this year, a list of all the artists and what they do can be found on the tour’s website at www.redtrilliumst. com.

A brochure can be downloaded which will also have a map to help you navigate to the different tour stops.

Each tour stop will also have paper brochures available.

GRAND Opening

Flooded fields yield plenty of shorebirds

BY MICHAEL RUNTZ

Last week I took part in the Prince Edward County Bird Observatory (PEPtBO) Challenge.

The challenge consists of teams tallying birds in Prince Edward County over a twenty-four hour period to raise money for the PEPtBO. Our team was the Sprague’s Pipits, a name coined years ago when Terry Sprague, a well-known county birder, captained the team. Sprague’s pipit is an actual species, so the team’s name was a good one.

Terry unfortunately no longer takes part, so I came on board as team captain. With me were Mike and Kathy Burge, original members of the Pipits and key supporters of the bird observatory, and Don Sutherland, a longtime friend and superb naturalist.

We started our birding marathon at Wellington on the west side of the county. With this spring’s high water levels, shorebird habitat along Lake Ontario was lacking. Still, we were off to a good start when a little gull was spotted in a large group of Bonaparte’s gulls, small black-headed gulls that nest in boreal forest trees.

Lake Ontario’s shoreline lacked shorebirds, but the flooded fields certainly did not. Several had plenty of shorebirds including short-billed

dowitchers, sandpipers that actually have long bills for probing deep into mud.

After successfully checking Point Petrie (pronounced as “Point Peter” by the locals) for field species such as grasshopper sparrow and upland sandpiper, we drove to Kaiser Road on Cressy Point on the far eastern side of the county. This year the flooded fields there were small lakes and it seemed at first that apart from some ducks no birds were present. But soon we spotted shorebirds foraging among the flooded last year’s corn stalks. Dunlin, pretty little sandpipers with rusty backs, black bellies, and down-curved bills were scattered among the much larger blackbellied plovers, killdeer-sized birds with striking white upper parts and black faces and bellies.

Also present were ruddy turnstones, colourful shorebirds usually found on rocky shores turning over rocks to find meals.

The highlight was a marbled godwit, a gullsized sandpiper with a huge upturned bill. This giant shorebird, a rare visitor to southern Ontario, was no surprise for earlier that day when Mike Burge and I were scouting the area it flew in, noisily announcing its arrival. Fortunately, it remained there until the evening.

The night we picked up most of the expected nocturnal species including eastern screech-owl,

Virginia rail, and eastern whip-poorwill. We also heard a Chuck-will’swidow, a southern species first detected along Hilltop Road four years ago by me. This name-singing bird has returned annually and hopefully has found a mate by now.

When dawn broke we were at the tip of Prince Edward Point, although this year the tip is non-existent. As we had hoped, overnight there had been a major fallout of migrating songbirds.

Warblers were everywhere and we quickly tallied more than 20 species including mourning, bay-breasted, Tennessee, and blackpoll.

By the end of our 24-hour Birdathon, we had tallied 155 species. This total, however, was good only for second place, for another team claimed 162 species.

Next year I suspect we will forgo the three-hour nap we took in the middle of the night!

You can still sponsor my birdathon Michael Runtz at http://birdscanada.kintera.org.

The Nature email is mruntz@start. This male Wilson’s Warbler was one of the many warblers encountered during the author’s birdathon. ca

No two ways about it — human babies are demanding. But can you imagine needing to feed each 20-35 times each day? That’s the pace at the Wild Bird Care Centre, where volunteers are feeding hundreds of avian babies every 2030 minutes.

Already this year they’re seeing more birds arrive than in 2016 — and last year was a near-record year for patients. The centre cares for some 3,000 wild birds annually. Orphaned baby birds aren’t their only arrivals, of course.

In 2016, the Wild Bird Care Centre treated an injured peregrine falcon found by a man and his son near the Madawaska River in Arnprior.

Bander Marcel Gahbauer and Patty McLaughlin weighed him, measured his wings, determined he was a third-year bird, and banded him on both legs. The falcon was then driven out to Arnprior to be released near where he was found.

A species of concern, peregrine falcons have a special connection to Arnprior that residents living here in the mid 1980s will recall. Falcons then were almost wiped out by DDT and Arnprior was one of four release sites in Ontario in a project to establish a stable breeding program.

The Macnamara Club was part of that project.

Macnamara president Michael Runtz recalls: “The falcon project involved placing a nesting platform on the church bell tower (I tied a rope around my waist and leaned out the tower to put the platform in place). Joan Watters and Eric Ridgen were also involved.

“It was believed the falcons nested there in 1985 but I am confident that they did not, as Tony Beck and I found a nest in Quebec just across the river. It is my belief that they came to the church to catch pigeons, and when the young fledged they also flew to the church. They did not nest there.”

Sadly, as Canadian Geographic notes: “That summer the female was shot and the two fledglings disappeared. The male returns to the same

Patty McLaughlin has been involved with the Wild Bird Care Centre since she was 16.

After completing two university degrees in biology, she now works at the centre looking after wounded birds brought in by the public, and running the educational program.

On June 6, she’ll be giving the Macnamara Club a firsthand experience of what it is like to care for over 120 different species of wild birds each year and sharing tricks used to keep the birds comfortable in captivity based on their typical personalities, interesting facts, and miraculous recoveries.

And she’ll be bringing along Indigo, an American kestrel, which cannot be released back into the wild because of his injuries.

Guests are welcome at this and every meeting, and with special guest Indigo and the pictures and video that will be part of Patty’s presentation, the Macnamara’s June 6 event will be especially family-friendly.

Kanata Light Rail Transit Planning and Environmental Assessment Study Open House #1

Monday, June 5, 2017 Kanata Recreation Complex, Hall A, 100 Charlie Rogers Place, K2V 1A2 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. (presentation at 6:30 p.m.)

OC Transpo routes: 92, 96, 167, 118 Parking is available The City of Ottawa has initiated this Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan to extend Light Rail Transit (LRT) from Moodie Drive to Kanata. This Planning and EA Study will define a corridor for the future expansion of the City’s LRT network to Kanata. Extending LRT to Kanata is identified in the Ultimate Network in the City’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP).

The study will examine LRT corridor options for a broader area to the north and south of Highway 417. The outcome will be a Recommended Plan that identifies the LRT corridor, station locations, and supporting facilities, and determines an implementation strategy based on ridership and affordability.

The EA portion of the study will be undertaken in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects.

The City must consider alternative corridors and designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts.

Information on the Kanata LRT Planning and EA Study is available at ottawa.ca/ KanataLRT or Ottawa.ca/kanatatlr. Comments received will be collected under TPAP, and with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or email the project manager below before the event.

t wouldn’t be long.

The school year would soon be over, and I was always amazed at how the entire school changed those last few weeks before the exams started, when we would know if we would be passed into the next grade.

It was almost as if we were in church. Everyone was on his or her very best behaviour, as if our actions had as much to do with passing as doing well on our exams.

Cecil gave up crunching his toes in his gum-rubbers, and moving his ears up and down on the side of his head. But Cecil was as smart as a whip, and there was no doubt he would pass into the next grade with flying colours. But he wasn’t taking any chances.

Even bad Marguirite wasn’t floating around the classroom like a crazed bird.

out, so that in itself added another level of fear.

Everyone, including Miss Crosby, held the inspector in great awe.

Weeks before exams started, Miss Crosby went over every last bit of teaching she had done in the entire year.

We were drilled on spelling until the words danced in my head long after the exercise, and we even had an exam in penmanship.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, remaining quiet about how you truly feel about someone will not be helpful this week. It’s better if you unleash your emotions and let your loved one know the truth.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are on a roll this week, and everything you encounter puts an extra spring in your step. Just don’t get so engrossed in your progress that you forget others.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be tempted to throw in the towel when things are not going your way. Give the situation a little more time before you make a foolhardy decision.

This reinforces to others that you are a team player and a valuable asset.

Start slowly with little things that may not affect you as much, then build up to bigger changes.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You may be feeling invincible this week because you haven’t run up against much resistance lately, Cancer. Just don’t believe everything will be a piece of cake.
