Canoe Club opens accessible building ONLINE at the season, many of its paddlers are paddle again in the coming spring and Paddle All program has a winter training group. The entire Ottawa River Canoe working hard in the club’s off-season summer months. See CANOE CLUB, page 7 For the first time ever, the club’s Club site on the Ottawa River in training programs, getting prepared to West Carleton is now totally accessible for those with disabilities. Quite a difference from when the club was established 15 years ago when it did not have the funds to get an accessible building off the ground. All there was back then was a tent with two stairs. But now, a new accessible change room for the club’s Para Paddling program has now been erected, with a grand opening held with CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren, City of Ottawa West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry and Paralympian Todd Nicholson all in attendance. This new building came about thanks to funding from Ontario 150 and the City of Ottawa along with hundreds of volunteer hours by several key volunteers. Ottawa River Canoe Club commodore Mark Hayman served as the lead on the project. The building, now up, will be completely finished in the spring when some final touches are added. The presence of this building means that the entire site is accessible for those with disabilities. They will now be able to drive in, park the vehicle, get out and wheel right into a shelter space, get changed, grab a paddle and life-jacket, set up the Tiffany Lepack/Metroland boat and then head out onto the water, all on their own. Now, that’s accessibility!

Carp village bustling with Christmas-themed events

mas market, making the rounds in the Agricultural Hall where he had his photo taken with babies and those not so young, all in the Christmas spirit. And the courtyard area between the Agricultural Hall and the exhibit hall was filled with vendors as well, mainly food providers. There was perogies, elk meat and organic produce, as well as products like bread boards and dog bowls. A Christmas touch in this courtyard area was the presence of busker Jean-Marie Seguin, wearing a Santa hat, who was playing Christmas tunes on his guitar, adding a holiday flavour to the area.

special to the review

Carp was a bustling place on Saturday, Dec. 2. Vehicles lined Carp Road from St. Paul’s United Church past the fairgrounds, while vehicles also filled the fairgrounds as well. Attracting these crowds were several Christmas-themed events — the annual Christmas market of the Carp Farmers’ Market, a craft and bake sale held by the Carp Cooperative Nursery School with two floors of vendors at the parish hall of the Anglican Parish of Huntley beside the fairgrounds; a $100 and Under Christmas Arts/ Crafts Show hosted by the West Carleton Arts Society at St. Paul’s United Church; and a Festive Fair including a silent auction, Christmas See MILD WEATHER, page 3 baking, a white elephant table, jams, preserves, knitting, crafts and more, also at St. Paul’s United Church. Altogether, it was a hive of activities which produced the traffic-jam like conditions along Carp Road. The Carp Farmers’ Market Christmas market filled both the Carp Agricultural Hall and the Carp Fair’s iconic and renowned exhibit hall with vendors, with streams of market visitors pouring through them. There was something for everyone — apples, pies, baking of all kinds, garlic, fresh roasted coffee, raspberry and other flavoured wines from Needham’s of West Carleton, wood fired bread, sausages, candles, jams, jellies, chocolates, hand woven clothing, lamb, jewelry, fudge, pottery, eggs, birdhouses, soaps, cupcakes and other sweets, honey, cider, smoked salmon, Submitted Submitted dolls, aprons, rice pudding, candy canes and Santa Claus pays a visit to Carp’s Harvest Moon Orchard booth at the Carp Farmers’ more.

Christmas shopping

And while both the Agricultural Hall and exhibit building were being heated in the expectation that it was going to be much colder than it turned out to be, with above zero temperatures and no wind making for ideal early December conditions, these mild weather conditions further enhanced the positive experience for all those who visited Carp for these pre-Christmas events on Dec. 2. Both the Carp Farmers’ Market Christmas market and the arts/craft show at Carp United Church operated on the afternoon and evening of Friday, Dec. 1 as well. The $100 and Under Christmas Arts/Crafts Show by the West Carleton Arts Society at St. Paul’s United Church featured an array of craft and artistic items ranging from pottery to baskets to cards to crocheted blankets to jewelry to mosaics to Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls to nightgowns to ornaments to artwork. The handmade Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls were being displayed and sold by Sue Conlin of Sue’s Stitchery of Constance Bay. It takes her anywhere from six to 12 hours to make one of these dolls depending on its size. Her mother used to make such dolls and Sue started helping her with them, specifically with the hair. She now creates them all herself.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Priorities need rearranging

here’s a drug crisis. Safe injection sites are becoming a reality. There’s now dangers from fentanyl and other opioids, drugs which can kill quickly. With so much concern about all these drug matters, you would think that drug and addiction facilities for youth would be numerous — a top priority. But why, then, is the new Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre planned to be built at a West Carleton site taking years to become reality? It will be an up-todate facility, better for both staff and clients, replacing the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre’s current overtaxed facilities. Smith, one of the most beloved and energetic personalities in the Ottawa area, is leading this effort, but it is still going to be at least another year before construction begins on the project. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre was established in 1993, introducing residential treatment in 2010. Since 1993, more than 15,000 youth and caregivers have been helped by the centre. We know the need is there and the Dave Smith Centre is playing a part in meeting the need for treatment. But the hang up in enhancing the centre is financial. There’s still $4.5 million in fundraising needed for the $11.8-million facility.

But why is this? We have a federal government which has $5.6 million to spend on a three-month ice rink on Parliament Hill. We have nothing against this, as it will be a memorable experience for skaters. But when you put such an expenditure up against funding a facility like the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre — which saves lives and solves addiction problems for youth — is there any debate here? Skating for pleasure can’t hold a candle to helping youth get off drugs. Yet we as a society easily go along with $5.6 million for a postcard rink on Parliament Hill and seem to pay little attention to getting the new Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre up and running and helping youth. Are our priorities as a society skewed? Are the government’s priorities backwards? Surely having more facilities like the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre providing drug addiction and mental health services to youth deserves overwhelming and unconditional support. And yet, the government funds a temporary rink bound to melt and disappear in months, while and the Dave Smith folks pound the pavement, trying to fundraise to get a permanent new facility up and running. There’s something wrong with this picture.

These newspapers didn’t deserve to die

bout 12 years ago I wrote a retirement column for another newspaper. I didn’t think I’d be doing another one, but that’s the newspaper business. The difference this time is that it’s the newspaper that has retired. As you know, there has been a big swap in small newspapers, with the new owners choosing to close most of their acquisitions, including this one. There’s been lots of speculation about their motives, and there’s no point in getting into that, except to say that these newspapers didn’t deserve to close. They were serving their communities, providing news coverage that the shrinking big dailies no longer could or wanted to, giving young journalists an entry into the business and giving voice both to readers and people like

And readers, let’s be blunt, who decided they didn’t have Funny Town time to read newspapers and could keep themselves informed by reading headlines on their phones. And the Internet itself. Some myself who had opinions on life in the newspaper industry spokespeople community. have blamed the government, saying As a contributor for seven years its failure to offer help to the industry and, by rough count, 344 columns, I would add that the professionalism at doomed small papers, but that’s not a the Ottawa and district papers couldn’t widely held view. Most self-respecting journalists have been better. There was never an attempt to influence what I would say balk at the idea of accepting government handouts, feeling that they or how I would say it. That doesn’t happen everywhere. I thank the editors. would jeopardize independence.

Wounded beagle to recover Special to the Review

Sadie Mae is on the road to recovery. She is the eight year old beagle who arrived at the Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) in November with a gunshot wound to the head. She is expected to make a full recovery after she had surgery at the OHS on Nov. 22. A surgeon removed her left eye which had a bullet fragment embedded in it. The surgeon also repaired a hole in her left ear and reconstructed the tissue on the left side of her face. Sadie Mae has spent time resting in the OHS critical care unit where she was treated with antibiotics and pain medication. She was also treated for Lyme disease.

“Sadie Mae is making great progress and is in very high spirits,” said Dr. Shelley Hutchings, OHS chief veterinarian. “She’s always wagging her tail to greet staff.” Sadie Mae is expected to spent at least another five or so weeks recovering at the OHS. She will then be spayed and have dental surgery before she is placed in a new home. Police rushed Sadie Mae to the Ottawa Veterinary Hospital to be stabilized after she was found wandering on a trail at Carp. She was transferred to the OHS on Nov. 13. It is not known if the shooting was a hunting accident or intentional. No owner has come forward to claim Sadie Mae.

Submitted

Sadie Mae, a beagle found shot in the head in the Carp area, is expected to recover thanks to recent surgery.

Christmas One Of A Kind Sale in Constance Bay on Dec. 2 Notice of Completion Greenbank Road Watermain Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the construction of the new 610-millimetre diameter transmission watermain on Greenbank Road between Jockvale Road and south side of the Jock River. This watermain is needed to meet water supply capacity and reliability requirements in the Nepean Town Centre and Barrhaven South development areas under future development conditions. This Class EA process determined that the preferred solution is to construct the watermain along the east side of the future Greenbank Road right-of-way, using a trenchless construction technique (horizontal directional drilling) at the Jock River crossing. It was determined that crossing the Jock River by open-cut methods would be problematic, due to geotechnical and environmental concerns. The design and construction of the full extent of the 610-millimetre diameter transmission watermain will be coordinated with the Greenbank Road widening and realignment project. Since the road realignment project has been deferred a number of years, it has also been determined that the watermain project can also be deferred without risk to service levels as development proceeds in the Barrhaven South area. However, there is a need to plan for one or more phases of the watermain to be constructed in coordination with anticipated development north of the Jock River in advance of the road realignment project implementation. This study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements for Schedule B projects under the Municipal Class EA process. A Project File Summary Report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, identification and evaluation of alternatives, selection of the preferred solution, public and agency consultation as well as potential construction impacts and mitigation measures. The Report is available for public review at the following locations for a period of 30 calendar days, starting on Tuesday, November 28, 2017.

Roads are in dire condition By Jake Davies jake.Davies@metroland.com

Ken Burns said he’s studied the stats, he’s seen the streets and he’s crunched the numbers; Ottawa’s roads are in dire condition. “I don’t know how council can look at the roads and the budget and deny they are way behind on infrastructure maintenance,” Burns told the West Carleton Review from Alice’s Village Café on Wednesday, Nov. 29. Burns, a retired member of the Canadian Armed Forces, is known as a champion for rural issues in West Carleton. He regularly attends committee meetings and provides his input on a number of issues. The state of Ottawa’s roads has been a top-of-mind issue of Burns for years. On Nov. 23, Burns spoke to the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) to share his concerns with City of Ottawa councillors. It was an opportunity to encourage councillors to address the issue in the 2018 budget. “In 2002, it was determined the city needed to annually spend 1.5 per cent of the replacement value to keep the roads in ‘good’ condition,” Burns said.

Ward 5 West Carleton-December Closing of the West Carleton-Review I was very disappointed to hear that the West Carleton-Review will be closing down in January 2018. During my time in office, I’ve heard time and again from residents that our local newspaper was one of the best ways to keep informed on local news and community happenings. It’s this type of local flavour that matters most to Ward 5 residents, and it’s unfortunate it’s coming to an end. My weekly column in the West Carleton-Review has been one of my most effective communication tools. Its purpose has always been to have you, the reader, stay informed on the latest ward and city news, and keep you engaged and involved. I will be continuing my weekly column after the paper closes, but how I distribute it to ensure maximum coverage remains to be finalized. I know there is a segment of the West Carleton community that appreciates having the physical paper delivered to their home every week and, for some, the move to a digital/internet format may be an issue. I will be working with my staff in the coming weeks to come up with a strategy on how to keep everyone informed. Stay tuned to a future column in the next couple of weeks, as I will be providing my communications game plan going forward. To the staff of the West Carleton-Review, I would like extend my sincere thanks for all of the work and help you’ve provided to my staff and I over the years. Thank you also for the diligent reporting you have done every week to promote Ward 5. Congratulations to Julie & Cindy Delahunt

Karen Cecil was a sly one who always had a trick up his sleeve McCrimmon

ather never banked around the house with snow until he was sure it was there to last. With no foundation, it was just another way for us to try to keep the blasts of winter outside, and now the snow was packed around the house about two feet high. At the Northcote School, each of us came bundled up like mummies. As soon as we got inside, we girls had to take off our overshoes, and the boys their rubber boots, and everything was propped against pieces of firewood, close to the heat, with the tops rolled down. It was hard to tell who owned what because we all wore the same footwear. That is, everyone except Marguerite. She had white galoshes, trimmed with white fur, which she assured everyone was pure mink! Cecil said there was no such thing as a white mink. But Marguerite stuck to her guns. Mink, it was, and that’s all there was to it! And she refused to have her galoshes anywhere near those of the rest of us. She wanted them under her desk. Well, Miss Crosby was having none of that. The white galoshes would be propped

against the wood, no questions asked. Marguerite, with a scowl on her face, put them at the very end of the row, and made sure they weren’t touching any other pairs. And she didn’t roll down the tops either. She said it would harm the mink! Well, Cecil took on that look he always wore when he was planning some dastardly deed. It wasn’t exactly a smirk ... more of a grin ... but I knew instantly he was up to no good. He always had his pockets full ... so much so that they bulged out from his overalls, and he carried everything from a couple jackknives to balls of string, a slingshot, and in the summer time he was known to be able to produce a green garter snake on occasion. Goodness knows what he had in his pocket that day, but he kept running his hand over the outside, and you didn’t have to be a genius to see the wheels

turning in his head. Now, Cecil was a sly one all right. He was able to do things without being seen by anyone, and that included Miss Crosby. But I never took my eyes off him that day, and yet I didn’t see him move to perform the deed which by the time the day was ended, had the whole school in an uproar, Marguerite in tears, Miss Crosby turning beet red, the boys in hysterics, and we girls climbing on the seats of our desks. Our books were put away, and we were all heading for our boots and galoshes. Marguerite, terrified that someone or something might come in contact with her precious white mink, tore to the blocks of wood, reached inside the first galosh, grabbed what was inside, and her screams could be heard in Arnprior! In her hand was a little cotton bag, the kind we kept our marbles in, and it was moving! She flung it to the other side of the room, it landed on a windowsill, and was still in motion, but whatever was inside couldn’t get out, because the bag was tied tight. You didn’t have to be heavily endowed with brains to know

inside was a live mouse, nor you didn’t have to be too smart to know who put it there. Miss Crosby marched down to Cecil, hit him a whack with the ruler, and told him to get rid of it. All the boys at the Northcote School were doubled over laughing, and all us girls were frozen on the spot. Instead of taking the very much alive mouse outside, Cecil simply crammed the bag back into his bulging pocket, grabbed his rubber boots, and his book bag, and headed for the door to escape another outburst from Miss Crosby. Two Mile Herman warned Marguerite that he wouldn’t be surprised if there was a dead mouse still inside her galosh. Miss Crosby had to shake it upside down before Marguerite would touch it. That was the end of the white galoshes. The next day Marguerite was in black rubbers with the steel buckles just like the rest of us. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Closing of Community Newspapers Along with the residents of the larger Ottawa community, I was surprised and saddened to hear about the pending closure of our community newspapers. These newspapers have become a vital resource for our citizens to remain informed about those issues of importance to our local municipalities. I agree with the Mayor that they were great vehicles to connect with our many neighbourhoods and their voices will be missed. My thoughts are also with the dedicated employees who will or have lost their jobs.

Constance & Buckham’s Bay Santa Claus Parade It was great to see so many people turn out in Constance Bay last weekend to celebrate the holiday season. I was so pleased to talk with so many people and see so many smiling faces. Some have had a tough year with the flooding, but it was great to come together as a community to share a laugh and enjoy the season. My thanks to everyone who came out!

Persons with Disabilities It was my privilege this past week to attend a reception to celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Thank you to Minister Kent Hehr and his team for organizing such a great event. What an amazing group of people we have right here in Ottawa, working hard for those Canadians who need our help. We are stronger together.

Shoebox Project I was so thrilled to join Liberal female staffers and MPs who got together to decorate and fill shoeboxes for the Shoebox Project for Shelters. The Shoebox Project for Shelters collects and distributes gifts in the form of Shoeboxes to women who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness in communities across Canada and the U.S. Each thoughtfully decorated Shoebox is filled with items valued at $50 that can enhance self-esteem and reduce feelings of isolation for women in crisis. It was such a great event and I was so impressed by the number of women who showed up to lend a hand. I encourage everyone to find out more about this project by looking them up online.

Keep Ottawa Warm As the cold weather sets in, we must remember those in our communities who will be the most affected. I have joined the #KeepOttawaWarm campaign by placing a donation box outside my office door at 555 Legget Drive, Suite 121, for anyone to come by and donate their winter clothing. Donations will go to the Ottawa Mission, Shepherds of Good Hope, and Cornerstone Housing for Women. Please consider donating some clothing so that everyone can keep warm.

Making soup for seniors, caregivers in West Carleton by john curry john.curry@metroland.com

The soup’s on in West Carleton. A new initiative involving a group of local churches is not only providing soup to seniors and their caregivers in the community, but volunteers from these churches are actually making the soup. The churches involved are the Anglican Parish of Fitzroy Harbour (St. Thomas Church in Woodlawn and St. George’s Church in Fitzroy Harbour), Bethel-St. Andrew’s United Church in Fitzroy Harbour, St. Gabriel’s Roman Catholic Church in Constance Bay and St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Fitzroy Harbour. The churches have also partnered with the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and the Fitzroy Harbour Community Association for this initiative.

Public Meetings All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted.

It was Rev. Hilary Murray, rector of the Anglican Parish of Fitzroy Harbour, who initiated the idea after hearing about a similar soup mission program that the March Anglican Parish had begun. She thought that West Carleton churches could do such a program, with a focus on providing the homemade soup to seniors in the community who might benefit from such a project. Rev. Murray wanted any such soup program to be community-oriented and ecumenical in nature, involving numerous churches. This was also a practical decision, because she felt that one church alone could not carry out such a project. And it is quite an undertaking, involving a “soup making bee,” at which batches of soup are made in big pots and then ladled into small plastic containers — enough for one hearty serving or a couple of smaller servings, depending on the preference of the senior who receives it. At the initial soup making bee in September, which was a trial run, 122 containers of soup were made and have since then been delivered to seniors throughout the area as needed. The group learned some lessons from this initial soup making experience. One was that a larger kitchen was needed than the church one which was used. So, a partnership was formed with the Fitzroy Harbour Community Association, allowing the soup to be made in the kitchen at the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre. This kitchen has a central island, which provides lots of space for the cutting of the vegetables and other ingredients for the soup. The kitchen also has two stoves, which means both of the large soup pots can be cooking at the same time. The Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre is also providing storage for the group’s equipment, which includes the two soup pots, cutting boards, soup containers and more. The trial run last September also allowed the group to learn a few things about this soup making project. There has to be a first aid kit present, because — quite simply — the soup makers are using sharp knives to prepare the ingredients for the soup pots. Put sharp knives and fingers together, and you are bound to have a cut or two at some point in time; hence the need for a first aid kit. Those involved also had to receive training from Ottawa Public Health on proper food handling and processing procedures. In addition, all of the ladies involved had to have aprons — a requirement when handling food. Every volunteer received an apron, although they are different colours, adding some diversity of appearance to the hustle and bustle that takes place in the kitchen when the soup

making bee is underway. This was the case when the group got together for a second soup making bee on Thursday, Nov. 16 at the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre’s kitchen. It is hoped that there will be four of these soup making bees every year; in the spring, in the summer and twice in the fall. At this Nov. 16 soup making bee, two kinds of soup were being made: squash soup and hamburger soup. The goal is to make two flavours of soup at each soup making bee, one meat and one vegetarian. Each client will receive two containers of each flavour. The idea is to try to make soup with ingredients that are in-season and readily available. The group did receive $3,000 in funding for startup costs for this soup making project. A freezer needed to

be purchased for storage of the filled soup containers. There was also the purchase of the plastic soup containers themselves, as well as the purchase of knives, cutting boards and soup pots. There’s also the challenge of the volunteer soup makers getting used to working together as a team. A “soup lead” is now assigned, whose responsibilities include getting the recipe, printing labels for the containers and communicating with the person who buys the groceries for the soup ingredients. The trial run also showed the ladies involved with the project that there are some differences in making soup at the scale in this project, as opposed to making soup at home. For instance, they have learned that all of the broth should not be added all at once to the mix. See SOUP IS, page 23

Soup is being distributed by individual churches Continued from page 22

A very practical lesson that was learned from the trial run in September was that someone had to be assigned to co-ordinate and organize the lunch for these volunteers. This lunch takes place when the ladies take a break, as the soup is cooking on the stoves. The feedback from those who received the

soup made in the trial run sessions has been most positive, with the recipients most appreciative of enjoying some homemade soup. The soup is distributed by the individual churches, as it is felt that these congregations know their own parishioners best, so they are the most appropriate ones to deliver the soup. Any senior in West Carleton can re-

ceive this soup. A phone call from either the recipient or from a neighbour who knows of a situation where the soup would help is all that is needed for the soup to be delivered. To arrange for soup delivery, just call the Anglican Parish of Fitzroy Harbour at 613623-3882 or any of the participating local churches.

Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Standing for Private Enterprise Over the past two weeks I have been the only MPP in the Ontario Legislative Assembly to stand and voice my opposition to the Liberal Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monopoly cannabis regime. A government monopoly will do nothing to remove illegal cannabis from our streets and will do nothing to take power away from organized crime. In order to do both of these things we need a private system like the one that Alberta has proposed. With a system that allows private enterprise to thrive the province can make our streets safer and create jobs by being competitive. The heavy hand of government too often is allowed to stop the free market from prospering, this heavy handed approach has led to sky high hydro rates and massive job losses in Ontario. We have an astounding opportunity to open space for a new commodity in the market and the Liberals are sacrificing it so that they can continue with the same failed practices that have left us with two options for purchasing beer and one for spirits. What a shame this will be.

Maintenance deficit is going to grow Continued from page 19

He said it is estimated it would cost $10.5 billion to replace the network of roads in Ottawa. Burns said the City of Ottawa spent $75 million, or 0.7 per cent, in 2017 and are proposing spending $83 million, which would be 0.8 per cent. Currently, according to MBN Canada’s 2015 Performance Measurement Report, 75 per cent of the road network is in a less than good state of repair. Burns said this maintenance deficit will only grow as time elapses. He said not addressing the issue will cost taxpayers more down the road. “If you have waited three to five years to do work on roads in fair condition, it’s going to cost two to five times more than it would have cost to do routine maintenance,” Burns said. Burns was the only delegation present at the Nov. 23 ARAC open mic session. He took the opportunity to speak with them after reviewing the Nov. 8, 2018 draft budget. Chair Scott Moffatt, vice-chair George Darouze and councillors Stephen Blais, Eli El-Chantiry and Alex Hubley were all present. Coun. Keith Egli, who also sits on the committee, was absent. While ARAC has very little to do with roads in Ottawa, the committee does have a mandate and small budget for the maintenance of gravel roads in the city. Burns chose to speak with that committee for a fairly specific reason. “They are one of the very few committees to have an open mic session,” Burns said. Burns does have a date to speak with the FOR SALE

FOR SALE

Transportation Committee on Dec. 6. “I’m booked,” he said. “I booked early. Delegations appear in the order they book their appointment. I wanted to be No. 1. Even talking to the Transportation Committee only covers seven to eight councillors. Any opportunity to talk to any councillor, I take advantage of it.” Having said that, Burns is not sure what good speaking to the Transportation Committee will do three days before the final budget is discussed on Dec. 9. “If I was able to convince them for an influx of money, what’s the chance they would be able to include that by end of day Dec. 6, in time for Dec. 9? The process is not particularly open to public input. The timing and scheduling really works against having a fair opportunity. ” So, that leads to the question, why do it? “Because I know I’m right,” Burns said. “A 2017 report says we need $92 million in boldfaced, easy-to-read text. If the average city is spending 1.1 per cent of their roads replacement value, why do we think we can get away with 0.8 per cent? The simple answer is we can’t.” Burns said Coun. El-Chantiry asked if he “would accept an increase in the tax rate to pay for the roads.” A one per cent increase on the levy would result in $15 million more to the city. “I said, ‘Convince me we need another one per cent and I will agree,” Burns replied. “Identify the surtax, specify it’s going only to roads and for how long.”

Mystery caller

y phone was ringing and it was a number I didn’t recognize. I admit I have become one of those people who doesn’t answer the phone anymore unless I know who is calling. I decided to look up the number to see who it was before calling back. The number was assigned to an unfamiliar name but they were in Oxford Mills, just like me. I wondered if it was a neighbouring farmer. If we still had livestock I would immediately jump to the conclusion that our sheepdog had gone wandering again or our cattle had found an open gate. In the past, I have had to retrieve miscellaneous farm animals from the neighbours’ gardens, flower beds, backyards and patios. Mocha the cow got out of the barnyard and helped

herself to the apples in the front field a few times, before meandering over to the yard next door to see what tasty snacks they might have for her to sample. Even Gracie the sheep who thought she was a dog went on walkabout one day. She ended up in the forest, terrified and confused. I found her at the fence where she was trying to slither under the wire to the safety of the barnyard on the other side. I had to flip her on her side, lift the bottom wire of the fence with one hand and roll her through to freedom with the other. It wasn’t Gracie’s proudest

moment. One morning I was heading to work before sunrise when the fog lifted in front of me and two large objects suddenly appeared on the road. Cursing, I slammed on the brake. Donkey and Misty, our Belgian horse had escaped and were trotting down the lane, on a pre-dawn adventure. “You idiots!” I yelled out the window as I slowly passed where they had jumped into the ditch. “I could have hit you!” Donkey turned tail and ran up the next driveway. Misty followed close behind, tossing her mane and kicking up her heels. Clearly, this was the most fun they had had in a long time and they didn’t want it to end any time soon. I called the Farmer and woke him up. “Your donkey and horse are standing in the middle of the road. I can’t get them back in the barn because I will be late for work,” I explained. I’m pretty sure he mumbled something like “They will come home when they are hungry,” just before he hung up on me. I called him back.

“You have to get up and go get them!” I was worried they would get in front of another vehicle and cause a disaster, but by then they were already headed back toward the barn, probably thinking by the tone of my voice that they were in big trouble. I could see Donkey picking his way through the flower bed in front of the neighbour’s house before he disappeared through the opening in the hedge. “Just bring an apple with you. Lure Donkey with it and Misty will follow. I’ve got to go. Good luck.” For the rest of the morning I worried about my delinquent beasts, until I finally got the call from the Farmer that put my mind at ease. The animals were back in the barnyard, and he had found the point of escape. Apparently the wind had blown the sliding shed door open in the night, and they had seized the opportunity to wriggle through to freedom. But we don’t have any farm animals at the moment so that couldn’t be why I was getting a call from a neighbour. Then I thought of Fergus, the Golden

Input wanted about Kanata Highlands urban expansion area by jessica cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Concept plans for the Kanata Highlands urban expansion area will be presented at a public meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 12. Planners with the city and Richcraft Homes, which owns the land, will discuss proposed boundaries for future development and environmental protection, as well as locations for

stormwater management and municipal parks. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said its important residents come out, particularly those who live in the Richardson Ridge area. “It’s going to be another housing area, it’s going to have an impact on traffic,” she said. “It’s going to be entering into an area where a lot of people think there shouldn’t be development.”

The area slated for urban expansion is located at 820 Huntmar Dr. and encompasses around 77 hectares. It’s bounded by Terry Fox Drive to the east, Huntmar Drive to the west, the Carp River to the south and an environmental protection area to the north. Currently, the land is part of the West Carleton-March Ward but would be added to Kanata North following development. Wilkinson said the land shouldn’t

have been added to the urban boundary expansion in the first place, but a decision by the Ontario Municipal Board saw it designated as an urban expansion study area. She said she and West CarletonMarch Coun. Eli El-Chantiry are looking to see if it’s possible to halt the expansion study and how much that would cost, but they don’t have high hopes. “Because it got into the expansion

Retriever. At eight and a half months of age, he is starting to test his boundaries and explore his territory. He has a wireless fencing collar, but I am not completely convinced it is working anymore. Instead of stopping at the edge of the yard like he used to, he know trots along beside my car when I leave home, following me all the way out to the road. I called the number. It wasn’t a neighbour telling me they had found my runaway dog — it was a sales rep from a cosmetics company telling me I had won a free makeover in a raffle. Relieved, I made a mental note to test the zapping mechanism on Fergus’ collar when I returned home. Or better yet, maybe I will let the Farmer do it. Note: in last week’s column I mentioned a local wildlife sanctuary that is working with coyotes. I mistakenly wrote that they were trying to rebuild the coyote population when actually they are just focused on treating sick and injured animals. Email: dianafisher1@gmail.com area … it’s hard for us to completely stop it,” she said. With little hope of a complete halt, residents can at least offer input on how the development should happen, Wilkinson said. The public information session takes place Dec. 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr. A question and answer period with city staff and Richcraft will follow the presentation.

The return of the fish ducks By Michael Runtz

We often think of nature in very general terms. Many would say that ducks eat aquatic plants. It is true that Mallards dip upside down in shallow ponds, scooping up material with their shovel-like bill, filtering out edible material as water escape through the bill’s sievelike edges. But Wood Ducks also devour acorns, and Common Goldeneyes glean snails from the bottom of shallow rivers and lakes. And then there are mergansers. Two species, Hooded and Common, nest locally while a third, the Red-breasted Merganser, migrates through our area in small numbers, mostly in autumn. All three mergansers share a feature not found in other ducks. Their bills are not spoon-shaped but narrow, and the inner edges not lined with sieve-like lamellae but with tooth-like projections. The reason for the bill structure is that mergansers don’t filter food from water. They eat fish and are highly specialized for doing so. The bill’s shape is hydrodynamic, cutting through the water like a spear, and its

tooth-like projections help grasp slippery fish. Their propeller-like feet are located well back on their body for speed underwater but are so far back that, like loons, mergansers must run along the water’s surface before getting airborne. Mallards and other “puddle ducks” with feet more centrally placed gain flight after jumping up from the water’s surface. Female Common Mergansers, which sport a ragged crest on the back of their brown heads, are often seen on summer lakes with a dozen young in tow. As in other ducks, males take no part in incubation or caring for young. But the males are absent not only in terms of parental care; they are nowhere to be found in our area in summer. After mating in spring, male Common Mergansers head north. And not just a few leave: all male

mergansers head for James Bay and Hudson Bay where they spend the summer fishing and replacing their feathers through moult. Only when northern regions begin to freeze do they start their return journey south. Male Common Mergansers have recently returned to our area. On larger lakes such as White Lake and Golden Lake, they can be seen in surprisingly large numbers. Hordes of gulls are attracted to them, swirling around and landing amongst the ducks, flying off with small fish stolen from successful birds. The concentrations of ducks also attract Bald Eagles, which try to capture unwary mergansers when they return to the surface after a dive. Email: mruntz@start.ca
