Ward 5 among safest in Ottawa

DEREK [email protected]

WEST CARLETON – The 2009 crime statistics compiled by Ottawa Police Service show West Carleton to be at, or among, the lowest numbers of any ward in the city.

Although not much differ-ent than 2008, last year’s Ward 5 figures are up slightly. But they weren’t up nearly as much compared to other wards, even ones with similar demographics – such as Osgoode.

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, who is also chairman of the police board, is pleased with the figures, but remains concerned about the severity of traffic accidents.

Two fatalities and two people sustaining serious injuries in recent weeks has him pushing for people to do what they can to reduce speeding.

“Ward 5 is on the bottom of the list when it comes to crimes across the city. I take pride and joy in having that. I like to see it across the city,” El-Chantiry said. “Every accident is very serious here because the roads are longer and (have) less lights than in the city.”

He encourages people to call in speeding complaints at 613-236-1222, ext. 7300.

However, criminal code traffic offences – meaning dangerous driving, impaired, driving while prohibited and other offences – are down by 10 from 2008, to 22. The solvency rate is also down, by three percentage points to 81.8 per cent.

KEY CRIME TRENDSIn the key crime trends cat-

egory – including crimes against the person, crimes against prop-erty and other Criminal Code of Canada offences – the overall number is up by 30 in West Car-leton, to 454. The solvency rate is up, also, to 30.2 per cent.

In crimes against the person, the number is up by 10 last year to 64. The solvency is down by almost four per cent to 78.1 per cent.

Crimes against property are up by 35 last year to 350. The solvency rate is also up, by more than 2 percentage points to 14.9 per cent.

Vandalism remains a prob-lem in some villages, including Dunrobin. On Monday the com-munity association announced its building was again vandal-ized after having been repaired just last fall.

Calls for service rose by 746 in 2009 to 7,482.

UFO spotted hovering over tree lineDEREK DUNN

[email protected]

DUNROBIN – UFO expert Brian Vike of Houston, B.C. received an email from Dun-robin reporting a strange sight on June 9, about 9:30 p.m.

Vike remains baffled by the sighting, saying most unidentified flying objects are either aircraft with flashing NAV lights, the planet Venus, satellites, balloons, the International Space Station and some-thing similar.

“Over the last few years there has been an increase on one particular sighting, and this is of orange-red-yellow lights being seen all over the world. I receive reports of these lights from the UK on a daily bases,” Vike said.

“As for the Dunrobin, Ont. sighting, as of now I

am at a loss as to what this would have been.”

The report submitted to Vike’s website, sightings.com, reads: “(W)hile lying in bed watching TV, we heard what we thought was strong wind. It was a strange sound. While we were listening to figure out what it was, my nine-year-old came running into my room in a panic. “She kept insisting that there was a UFO out in the front. I told her it had to be a helicopter, but she said no way. My daughter is positive this is not a helicopter and this is a UFO.

“I’m thinking the noise I heard was strange, so maybe we better go and look. We run into her room and through her window we see a large object, just sort of hovering very slowly. It was moving toward the east and looked like it was just over the tree-line. I

couldn’t say if it was round or triangular because I was more fascinated by its lights, but my daughter says it’s definitely triangular and my husband agrees with her. “The lights were bright and they were flashing on and off, red and white. It didn’t take long for it to leave our sight. I think that if I would have gone right into her room, I might have had a better look at it; it didn’t seem concerned about being seen as it was so low. “You know, I don’t really believe in UFOs and now I’m not sure what to think. I know I saw this thing, but I can’t understand why it was not on the news or some-thing at that hour of night; we can’t be the only ones that saw this.

“Let me know what you think or if someone else saw it too.”

Vike said were it a motor-

ized object like a helicop-ter the sound would have been recognizable. It didn’t have normal NAV lights, he added. And yet he hasn’t heard from anyone else. Attempts by the newspa-per to reach the Dunrobin woman reporting the UFO were unsuccessful.

“The object was certain-ly of a good size and with all the lights flashing off and on, one would think there would be others in the area who saw this thing. As of yet, I haven’t been able to locate them, if there was any,” Vike said.

“This object may well be something explainable, but as it stands right now, I have to class it as a UFO. I certainly am checking into the case and hopes of find-ing an answer to what the people saw that night.”

Vike can be reached at [email protected].

POLICE STUMPED

Photo by Derek DunnOn Monday police continued to investigate this single-car accident that took place sometime before noon last Saturday. The vehicle went off Dunrobin Road, near Galetta Side Road.

Low water levels normal: OPG repsGEMMA ROBILLARD

With water levels lower than usual, a large turnout was expected June 8 at a Lower Ottawa/Madawaska stake-holders meeting hosted by Ontario Power Generation.

Yet only a handful gathered at the session aimed at maintaining public trust and keeping the lines of com-munication open between the public and OPG.

Donald Ferko, water management engineer, took the floor to speak about the water levels for a major portion of the presentation.

OPG utilizes special instrumenta-tion to go out and regularly measure snow depths each winter in more than 100 check points.

However, even with heavy snowfalls and large accumulations, it doesn’t mean there will be abnormally high

levels along the water systems come spring. “Snow is an important fac-tor, but doesn’t necessarily affect how much will melt and end up in the riv-ers,” he said.

Snow levels measured in most areas this year were either on average or just a little lower than average and then there was an exceptionally dry spring with fluctuating temperatures, which caused what snow we had dis-appeared into the atmosphere.

“In fact, we’re approaching historic lows for the May-June time period,” said Ferko. Bark Lake, the highest upstream on the Madawas-ka, had to be drawn from ear-lier than n o r m a l ,

but Ferko says OPG is still operating at average levels even with the lack of springtime precipitation.

“Snow certainly plays a factor but snow does not paint a whole picture of what’s going to happen in the spring.”

It’s all depending on the sequence of events that happen following the winter, Ferko summed up.

After the presentation, Tonkin said that despite the drier than nor-mal spring and lack of precipitation, water levels along the lower Ottawa and Madawaska rivers are operating within the usual range.

Let it beIt would be a shame if a cougar seen by at least

three people in the western outreaches of West Carleton recently meets the same unfortunate fate as two moose that unwisely entered the eastern suburbs of Ottawa this month.

The two moose were shot by police when nobody else would take action to remove them from the city. Ottawa officials have arranged a meeting with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to discuss ways to prevent such an outcome again if there is another incursion of wildlife in the city.

There needs to be a plan in place to deal with West Carleton’s cougar if it becomes a pest. So far it appears to have kept to itself and not threatened anyone.

However, the latest report that suggests the big cat might have killed a dog is disturbing.

The MNR, while hamstrung by cutbacks and not convinced there are wild cougars in this area, should be ready to work with local officials to protect both the public and the cougar if there are other incidents,

The Eastern Cougar Organization maintains cougars do not pose a danger to humans.

The cougar group suggests it is more likely someone will get hit by lightning than be attacked by a cougar and people are 20 times more likely to be killed by a dog than a cougar.

With that in mind, shooting the cougar should only be considered as a last resort.

If everyone exercises common sense, the cougar should be able to live quite peaceably in our midst.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the editor:

Alexander Aronec groused about being stuck in gridlock on March Road (“Are you okay with 20 years of gridlock on March Road?” June 3) during his morning commute into town and his proposed solution is to throw millions of taxpayer funds at the problem to chew up even more of the countryside and lay down more pavement sooner rather than later, suggesting that his proposed solution would represent a “change in think-ing” in the way that things are done at City Hall.

Ottawa city council spending like a drunken sailor, even more millions of taxpayer funds that it doesn’t have, on more pavement through March Rural, to create yet another imita-tion of the dysfunctional Merivale Road... sounds very much to me like the sort of “thinking” with which we are already blessed, courtesy of the existing city council and Staff. Noth-ing new there.

I would venture that a “change in thinking” might be for the city to implement means to reduce the num-bers of vehicles traveling on the roads that feed into the March Road bottle-neck and to try and accomplish that goal by utilizing existing resources so as to minimise the incremental tax burden and environmental impact.

Perhaps Mr. Aronec may have noticed while sitting in gridlock, that most, if not all of the cars sharing his predicament contained only one occupant.

I know this to be a fact because the morning after seeing Mr. Aronec’s piece in the paper, I did an informal study during the morning commute hour and counted the numbers of vehicles that passed by me on roads in March Rural that feed into the section of March Road that Mr. Aronec would

like to see widened.Of the 210 cars and SUVs that

passed by me, only two of those vehi-cles contained more than just the driver and both contained only a sin-gle passenger.

Simple arithmetic tells me that if those people traveling the same stretch of road at the same time every day got together and car-pooled, even just two occupants per vehicle would reduce the number of cars contribut-ing to the gridlock by 50 per cent.

The problem for the City then becomes one of finding ways to encourage and facilitate car-pooling and dissuade single-occupant car trips into urban Ottawa, a problem for which any number of viable solu-tions come to mind immediately so that it is conceivable that the only really involvement by city politicians and Staff might just be to have them put their rubber stamp of approval onto the idea.

But of course, car-pooling is just one of the many modes of transport available as alternatives.

My preference is bicycling but I realize that it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, perhaps moreso during inclement weather and on some win-ter days.

One notes that there are two exist-ing rail lines in the area that extend up the Ottawa Valley to Arnprior and beyond, one of which almost parallels Dunrobin/March Roads, the other passing down through Carp.

Oftentimes I’ve noticed rail work crews using a crew cab pick-up truck that has an attached contraption which when engaged, allows the truck to ride on the rails.

One wonders if an OC Transpo bus could be fitted with a similar contrap-tion so that existing OC Transpo bus stock could travel on rails as well as pavement, converting from one mode

to the other, perhaps with a simple flick of a switch to engage/disengage either set of wheels?

Since the existing rail lines pre-sumably cross every side road and/or concession road in between Arnprior and Kanata, it’s not unreasonable to suggest that each of those cross-ings represents a potential “railbus” stop and if viable, may eliminate the need for the proposed (and no doubt expensive) Transitway extension on March Road. Now wouldn’t that be something ?

I know that there is a group that has been looking at utilizing those tracks for a heavy rail commuter service so we may have three “rail” options to consider (ie heavy, light, bus/hybrid).

Mr. Aronec made a token men-tion of supporting the city’s idea of including bicycle lanes in future improvements to March Road.

Supporting an idea is nice but the problem is, this city council and staff have done very little if anything to making it easier and safer for cyclists in Kanata and Rural West Ottawa since making some token gestures of “concern” after being prodded to do so by the horrific accident that occurred a year ago on March Road and in the meantime, unfortunately more cyclists lives have been severely and/or tragically impacted by their inaction.

If Mr. Aronec wants to see a “change in thinking” perhaps he might start by first looking in the vehicle in which he was sitting in grid-lock.

Was his vehicle being used to any-where near its full capacity of four to five occupants?

Anglican Parish of March holds first boat blessingDEREK DUNN

[email protected]

DUNROBIN SHORE – It was a first for the Anglican Parish of March last Sunday: a bless-ing of the boats down at the waterfront on historic Pinhey’s Point property.

Organizer Janet Helmer was pleased to see about dozen boats moored close to the shoreline during the hot and sunny afternoon. The ceremony, which only took a few minutes, occurred after an outdoor service and church picnic.

“I think it went pretty well for the first year,” Helmer said. “There might be a few things we’ll change for next year. But we’ll see.”

The ceremony was assisted by the parish reverend, Karen Coxon. She deferred to the very capable Archdeacon Carl McLean, who has blessed countless boats, airplanes and other machines over a 23-year span. He said an outdoor service is not less holy because it doesn’t happen in a church, even hinting that it might be more so.

“Churches are often very beautiful places, but nothing can compare to the sacredness of God’s creation,” McLean said, adding before-hand that his ceremony would include caring for this river, and make mention of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

“The river is an important part of who we are as a church, as well,” he said.

Coxon said with the parish straddling both an urban and rural area, it is important for her and the congregation to embrace the out-doors.

“For us, we wanted to bring the rural out-doors to people to appreciate God in creation,” Coxon said. “It’s about an ancient heritage, too.”

A good deed can go a long way, and students at St. Isidore Cath-olic School are ready to send deeds flying across the city and the nation.

Dressed in matching T-shirts, more than 500 students filled the school’s gym on June 8 as the Pay It Forward movement was launched. The concept – which began as a book and was later turned into a movie – encour-ages people to do nice things for other people without any expec-tation of a reward.

Instead, the recipient of the good deed is asked to Pay It For-ward by doing a favour of any kind for anyone else.

Grade 6 student Janelle Row-sel said she learned “to be nice to everyone” and plans to put the lesson in action.

“I’ll probably help people in the schoolyard,” Janelle said.

Ottawa police Chief Vern White and West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry attended the launch. White said the grass-roots nature of Pay It Forward is a good fit for youngsters.

“What I like about this is the reminder every month,” White said, alluding to the school’s plan to have students wear their Pay It Forward T-shirts on monthly Spirit Days.

“Canada is an extremely kind country,” White said, adding

that many people in this country volunteer their time and donate to charities. “There’s already a strong level of support and this is about reminding people to be kind.”

When White spoke to the stu-dents, he told them that he has benefited from the kindness of others.

“People who were kind to me helped me get where I am as a police officer,” he said.

As the children awaited the arrival of the police chief, coun-cillor and other guests, they shared their ideas of good deeds they can carry out. Suggestions ranged from helping someone get up after they have fallen, bringing in the garbage cans at home without being asked, and sharing Freezie money if some-one forgets theirs at home.

The children were clear on the movement’s concept, shout-ing a raucous Pay It Forward! when asked what they should tell someone they have helped.

The co-chair of the St. Isidore parent council reminded the stu-dents that their actions count.

“No act of kindness is ever too small,” said Donna-Marie Flanagan.

Principal Michael Schreider – decked out in a T-shirt, along with all the teachers – said the lessons of Pay It Forward mesh with St. Isidore’s own message: “love, kindness and steward-ship.”

The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) released highlights of student achievement on the 2010 Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT), written in April by over 170,000 Eng-lish-language students across the province.

Of the students who wrote the test for the first time, 84 per cent were successful, maintaining the high rate of success seen over the past few years – 85 per cent in 2009, and 84 per cent in 2008, 2007 and 2006.

“It’s good that such a large number of students are passing the literacy test,” said Dr. Brian Desbiens, Chair of EQAO’s Board of Directors. “Tracking the progress of students as they moved from Grade 6 to Grade 10 revealed a story of achievement for some and a tale of struggles for others, which should serve as a signal of what’s possible and of the need for the close tracking of struggling students.”

About 88 per cent of the Grade 10 students who wrote the literacy test this year had also written the provincial Grade 6 reading and writing test in 2006. EQAO’s tracking study showed that, of the 40,835 students who had not met the standard in reading in Grade 6, 62 per cent (25,424) were successful on the OSSLT on their first try this year. This demonstrates that attention and support, at home and at school, make a difference in achievement.

However, if we look specifically at the students who did not pass the literacy test this year and who had written the provincial test in Grade 6 (18,439), we see that 84 per cent (15,411) had also not met the provincial standard in reading four years ago.

Over 7,000 of this year’s Grade 10 students were deemed not ready to write the OSSLT and therefore had their participation deferred to a future test administration. Of this group, almost 4000 had been in the school system in 2006 and had written the Grade 6 provincial test. Nearly 900 of the latter students had met the standard in reading.

The OSSLT is a provincial standards-based test of the reading and writing skills students are expected to have acquired across all subjects up to the end of Grade 9.

CARP – A mini conference for artists drew 35 participants from across the city to the Carp Memorial Hall last Saturday morning.

Organized by the West Carleton Arts Society (WCAS), conference topics includ-ed:

• online selling with John Toft;• demonstrations by the Golden Artist

Acrylic Colours company;• passive income from your website by

Cheryl Poulin and Frank Farrell;• the business of art by Crishtian

Aluas;• and the artist’s way by Louise

Lalonde.Organizer Cheryl Poulin was pleased

with the turnout, saying growing the society’s membership is crucial to its success. But even more, it focused on an important aspect of being an artist.

“To make money. Artists want to know they can make money, because they are tired of starving,” Poulin said. “If artists

are serious about art, they have to be seri-ous about business.”

She admits the perception of an impov-erished artist living in a hovel and nur-turing a tortured soul is fairly pervasive, but it can change.

“It doesn’t quite have to be that way,” she said. “When you sell your work, you are considered an artist.”

Not one to miss a chance to plug her business, Poulin noted that her website is cherylpoulin.com.

She pointed to Catherine Gutsche as a well-recognized artist in West Carleton, in part because of how she effective mar-kets herself.

The WCAS’s next public event is the Expressions of Arts sale at the Carp Fair-grounds on Thanksgiving weekend.

Organizer Lis Allison said joining a group such as WCAS is important for two reasons: to share insights and inspira-tion; to take advantage of advertizing.

“You get to know other artists in your area, so it’s a networking thing,” she said. “And you can link your website to the societies, lots of things like that.”

Hospital accepts gold, silverSpecial to WCR

Recycle Frog, a direct-to-con-sumer precious metals recycling company partnered with Queen-sway Carleton Hospital to raise funds for their Care Grows West fundraising campaign.

They kick started the pro-gram with a successful event that generated over $2,500 in contributions in less than seven hours.

“What an innovative and fun way to raise money. Who knew you could simply bring in your old, unwanted gold and silver

items, get a great on-the-spot pur-chase offer and also raise money that supports the broad range of acute care services we provide,” said Judy Brown, Director, Com-munications and Patient Rela-tions.

“Everyone that participated loved that we put money in their pocket and generated a contribu-tion that goes directly towards our Care Grows West fundrais-ing efforts.

“The first events were so suc-cessful that we’ve already booked Recycle Frog b for another event in early June.”

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Public Meeting

Please find me a homeEach week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up

for adoption.

# 3629 BarnabyDo you have a feline-free home to welcome this

handsome puppy? Barnaby, a neutered fi ve-year-old Beagle mix, was found in early December in Burnstown. He is a strong, energetic boy, who loves to go for walks. Barnaby is friendly but can be wary of strangers. He is a quiet dog who is housebroken. Barnaby would love a home with a fenced yard so he can enjoy off-leash exercise. Barnaby will need a feline free home, as he cannot resist the urge to chase cats. He gets along well with female dogs, and would be fi ne with children over fi ve. Please consider adopting this handsome boy.

#3638 Jade Are you an experienced, patient dog owner with

room for Jade, a year-old spayed Rottweiler/Lab mix? Jade was found running down the highway with her collar and leash attached. She is very loving and affectionate once she knows you. She is very wary of new people and will require a home that is willing to socialize her. Jade is good with cats and has a healthy respect of their space, she is timid around new dogs. Jade knows her basic obedience and is very intelligent so she will learn quickly. To see Jade’s true potential as a wonderful companion, interested adopters should come and spend some time with her. Jade is a sweet little puppy who deserves a wonderful forever home.

Supplies the shelter needs are Friskies canned cat food, bleach, liquid laundry soap and paper towels.

New year for Legion means many changesARLEEN MORROW

Legion Branch 616

CONSTANCE BAY - The Royal Canadian Legion elections have taken place and the new executive is ready to start the fiscal year which is June to May.

Frances Gentile remains as president of Branch 616 in Constance Bay. Eleanor Groot-Koerkamp remains as president of the Ladies Auxiliary. We also have some rookies on our team, which is great – they will soon be old hands.

Last week, members of our Branch were invited to Venta Preparatory School in Carp for a review of their trip to Europe for the 65th anniversary of VE Day. We viewed scrap-books made by the students and were shown a video shot throughout their visit. It was very moving and impressive. Branch 616 had donated poppies and wreaths for them to take. We were presented with a commemorative plaque by the students and staff.

There was lots of activity on May 28. The 616 Fish and Game Club had a very good turn-out for their mudpout supper and we also had a mini-horseshoe tourney. Henry Blackjack Co was the entertainment and did a fine job.

TGIF ENTERTAINMENTWe have been trying something new this

spring and summer and it seems to be work-ing – every Friday during and after TGIF dinner we have entertainment. During April and May we had a variety of entertainers, from “old hands” like Al Cockerell to high school students. We’ve had Western, Blues, Karaoke, etc.

Check out our line up for June and July by calling the Branch at 832-2082 and watch for ads in the weeklies.

There’s something for everybody!The annual Newsey Golf Tournament will

be in June this year instead of July. The venue has also changed. This year the tourna-ment will be at the Madawaska in Arnprior on Saturday, June 26. Kick off time is 11:15 a.m.

We are trying something new for Canada Day, also. Instead of a flotilla, decorate up your vehicle and join our Bay on Wheels parade down Bayview Drive and all around the Bay. Anything on wheels is permissible, cars, bikes, tractors, etc.

Or if you miss the flotilla, decorate up your boat and tow it. We will start at the Legion and end up there for a barbecue and enter-tainment. Everyone welcome!

Our vets from the Perley/Rideau Health Center will be visiting us for their annual bar-beque on July 10. Everyone is urged to take this opportunity to spend a few hours with our war heroes. EIO George will be on hand for a sing-along, and the 616 Entertainers will be there too.

Darts are done for the season, and this year all the leagues got together for the wind-up party. It was a roaring success so no doubt this will be done again.

Darts will resume in September. Friday night horseshoes and Wednesday golf are underway. You must be a member in good standing to play golf, but everyone is welcome at the horseshoe pits.

Sunday breakfast, TGIF dinner, and bingo are still going strong. The seniors have sus-pended meetings until October, but all other seniors activities are still on.

Please keep in mind that we have an 80 capacity hall for rent and a licensed back yard. For information on events or hall rent-al,, please call the branch at 613-832-2082.

West Carleton/March Council NotesEli El-Chantiry

Ward 5 - West Carleton-March

Lansdowne Park ProposalWhile this issue has not received too much attention, nor

commentary from West Carleton-March residents, I would like to share my thoughts on the issue with you.

You are welcome (and encouraged) to send me your com-ments.

Council decided last year that it did want to redevelop its historic site at Lansdowne, including the stadium, rather than building a stadium in a suburban part of the city. The redevelop-ment option in the central area of the city is in line with City’s Official Plan strategy of developing within established neighbourhoods, where possible. Now it is time to determine exactly what this development will look like.

I have reviewed much of the 400 pages of recently published material and I believe that most of the recommendations of the current set of studies are suf-ficient to deal with the majority of issues and will permit me to make the most informed decision possible.

As always, please contact me at any time:Eli El-Chantiry Proudly Serving West Carleton-March, Ward 5 5670 Carp Road, Kinburn, On K0A 2H0 www.Ward5Eli.comPhone: 613-580-2475; Fax: 613-580-2515

Pinhey’s festival set for June 27JANNA PATERSON

Pinhey’s Point

Here in Canada’s capital, water from the Otta-wa River runs through our lives every day.

But while we drink it, bathe in it, stroll along its banks, or paddle along its streams, how often do we actually stop to appreciate the importance of the Ottawa River in our city? And more impor-tantly, how often do we help contribute to its eco-logical health?

On Sunday, June 27, Pinhey’s Point Historic Site will be hosting Riverfest, a celebration of the past, present and future of the Ottawa River and a reminder to the city’s residents of just how impor-tant water is in our everyday lives.

The Rideau Roundtable, a non-profit associa-tion dedicated to raising awareness about protect-ing the Ottawa River, will be there to give lectures on preserving the river as well as canoe rides and paddling instructions.

“We want to educate people about water quality, natural life on the river and the health of shore-lines,” said Stew Hamill, a wildlife biologist and a member of the Rideau Roundtable.

“Through events like Riverfest we can show people how they can help to protect the river’s habitat.”

Hamill will be one of the volunteers taking people out on 34-foot replica voyageur canoes throughout the day for interpretive tours of the waterway.

“We like to take people out on the river, point out wildlife and talk about the history of our area through the eyes of a voyageur,” said Hamill.

“We want to introduce people to paddling and hope they gain an appreciation for the joys of get-ting out on the water.”

Situated right on the river’s banks and boasting 88 acres of green space, Pinhey’s Point is the per-fect place to learn about the river, its ecosystems and sustainability in fun and exciting ways.

Some of the activities during Riverfest include a canoe ballet demonstration that is sure to get more people into non-motorized boating, tours of a Bytown Brigantine ship for bud-ding sailors and history buffs, and studies of the plants, animals and insects that live in and off the water led by the Mill of Kintail to show kids just how alive water-ways really are.

“The museum – and particu-larly Riverfest – really aims to promote more eco-friendly living by encouraging people to explore and get to know the natural envi-ronment around them,” said Ash-ley Moores, education officer at Pinhey’s Point.

“It can really make people appreciate the impact they have on the ecosystems in their area.”

Apart from Riverfest, Pinhey’s Point has many other ways for kids and parents to get in touch with the ecosystems over the summer.

FATHER’S DAYOn Saturday, June 19 from 7 to

9:30 p.m., Creatures of the Night will open up your eyes to a dif-ferent kind of Ottawa nightlife: fireflies, bats, birds and noctur-nal animals.

Or, get the family together June 20 for the museum’s Father’s Day Geocaching Treasure Hunt from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., to find and explore even more natural wonders. Finish up a great day together with a delicious barbe-cue or picnic on the site’s beauti-ful, sprawling landscape.

Pinhey’s Point Historic Site is

located at 270 Pinhey’s Point Rd. in Dunrobin. For more information on Riverfest and the

many other events happening at Pinhey’s Point this summer, call 613-832-4347 or visit Ottawa.ca/museums.

City offers business services at library

CITY OF OTTAWA Business Services in Your Community

from the Ottawa Public Library is now in its fifth month and clients helped so far say they are thrilled with the service.

This rural strategy was launched to fill a need, to offer at rural branches of the library, by appointment, the popular one-on-one consultations with a business librarian that had been available only at two main libraries.

Clients are excited to get individual help with their market research and mar-keting needs. Krista Woltman, the busi-ness librarian from Nepean Centrepointe branch, has met clients at Fitzroy Har-bour and Carp branches.

Jill Hawken, the business librarian at Main Library, has helped clients from Vars and Cumberland who decided to come downtown.

Both Woltman and Hawken also help clients in rural areas by phone.

Whatever stage you are at - you may be thinking of starting a business, or plan-ning to expand - a business librarian will meet with you, free of charge, to help you find the information you need for your business.

One-on-one Business Consultations can make a difference for your business planning.

Contact your local library branch and let them know you are interested in this service. Or email a business librarian directly to make an appointment: [email protected].

Residents dump on landfillJESSICA CUNHA

[email protected]

STITTSVILLE - Tempers came to a boiling point during a Waste Manage-ment question-and-answer session at Sacred Heart High School June 8.

Vice-president and general counsel at Waste Management, Don Wright, replied, “I honestly don’t know,” when asked by a resident if he would want to live and raise a family beside the new landfill.

This brought cries of outrage from those in the community who would be living in close proximity to the pro-posed West Carleton Environmental Centre.

“How can you say, ‘I don’t know?’” yelled Marlene Labelle, Stittsville’s representative on the Waste Manage-ment project advisory committee.

“I’m just very frustrated with their attitude,” she said after the session.

“They want community input, but they’re just not listening. I’ve sub-mitted three reports to them and I’m working on my fourth one and they’re still running ahead with the terms of reference.”

The terms of reference will be submitted sometime in the next few weeks.

“It’s very frustrating to watch this,” said Labelle.

“They’re pulling the wool over peo-ples’ eyes.”

SKIRTING THE ISSUE“This community has done its

share, accepting garbage for a wide range of people across the province,” said Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Norm Sterling.

“You are misleading the people right now,” he yelled when a Waste Management spokesperson said the new site wouldn’t be taking in garbage from outside eastern Ontario. “It’s time for someone else to take this on,” said Sterling to audience applause.

Leigh-Ann Weynerowski, who lives between Stittsville and Carleton Place, said she felt Waste Management skirt-ed the main issue – residents don’t want to see a new landfill in their backyards.

“The people are never going to be happy as long as the dump is there,” she said.

Stittsville resident Christine Arm-strong said she has fibromyalgia. She said she has health concerns regard-ing the proximity of the new dump to the community.

Armstrong asked Waste Manage-ment if it was willing to commit to compensate health and medical issues that might arise from living near the landfill.

“At Waste Management we’re pre-pared to make a commitment,” said Wright, adding the company would be “completely and categorically respon-sible.”

Waste Management project man-ager Tim Murphy said the new dump would have odour enforcement mecha-nisms that would capture gases more effectively and keep them out of the air.

“We’re not going to cause the odour problem,” said Murphy.

Residents said they were worried about ground water contamination, since many of them are on the well system.

“It’s still garbage, still leaching into our ground water,” said Stittsville res-ident N. Nash.

“The water is tested on a weekly basis,” said Remi Godin, gas opera-tions manager at Waste Management.

One Waste Management official said there are areas known to the company where ground water contam-ination has occurred but it’s “being monitored.”

Residents wanted to know why new technologies weren’t being tested for use, such as the incineration system used in Sweden, where energy is har-nessed through waste combustion.

17Continued from page 15

“We should be going in that direction,” said Stittsville resi-dent Harry Kowalik. “These peo-ple can’t come up with anything better than hauling garbage into a resi-dential area.”

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said he is opposed to han-dling garbage in an antiquated way and wants to see the 60 per cent diversion reached first before creating a new land-fill. “Give me 60 per cent diversion then we’ll look at other options,” said Qadri.

“The biggest component of an environmental cen-tre should be diver-sion. They’re saying maybe in 10 to 20

years … why not start now?”Kanata North Coun. Marianne

Wilkinson said she is concerned about the amount of waste the new landfill will bring in; about 400,000 tonnes of garbage a year,

according to Waste Management. The current dump only takes in

about 30,000 tonnes per year.“I just have a cynical view

towards all this,” said Kowalik. “It’s an archaic system.”

RAINY DAY PEOPLE

Many vendors, including Gillian and Natalie Portt, moved to St. George’s Anglican Church hall. The moles appear to appreciate staying dry.

There is lots of life on lilypads if you look closely MICHAEL RUNTZ

Nature’s Way

One of my favourite ways of enjoying nature is to paddle a cedar canoe through a wetland, especially early in the morn-ing or late in the evening.

This summer I am privileged to be conducting bird surveys by canoe in marshes near Lake Ontario. I start near sunrise and finish usually as the sun is setting. At both times there is much to see and hear.

Red-winged Blackbirds and Marsh Wrens greet the rising sun with gusto. Great Blue Herons and American Bit-terns explode into flight from hidden hunting sites. Otters suddenly appear only to vanish with a snort.

And for every large animal there are myriad small ones encountered.

The floating leaves of water plants are major centres of activity. Some leaves are small, such as the oval ones of Water-shield. By comparison, water-lily leaves are gigantic. White Water-lilies bear din-ner-plate leaves while those of Bullhead-lilies are heart-shaped.

Several species of Bluet damselflies perch on the floating leaves. Despite their name, several are not blue! The Marsh Bluet, whose thin abdomen bears partial black as well as blue segments, takes off from the pads and skims low over the water’s surface in search of small prey.

The Orange Bluet does much the same. Only as the sun promises to disappear does the lovely yellow Vesper Bluet make its appearance.

Dragonflies also perch on floating leaves. The Dot-tailed Whiteface is well named for this tiny black dragonfly owns a shocking white face and a bright yellow spot near the end of its abdomen.

The larger Lilypad Clubtail, a beauti-ful green, black, and yellow dragonfly with stunning blue eyes, also rests on the pads. When it returns after a flight it usu-ally has some substantial prey hanging out its mouth.

A number of birds walk on the float-ing leaves. Marsh Wrens, Swamp Spar-rows (this name should be changed to “Marsh Sparrow”), and Red-winged Blackbirds hop across the pads with the agility of log drivers, plucking meals for their babies before the pads sink under their feet.

The long toes of chicken-sized Com-mon Moorhens allow these mysterious birds to quickly wander across the living steppingstones.

The behaviour of small flies has been particularly captivating. Tiny bronze flies, whose names I shall not know until I return home and hit the books, are par-ticularly common.

When the presumed females go about their business looking for food, the pre-sumed males constantly try to mount

them. After a number of rejections, some males get aggressive and fly up and down, striking their rejecters with a vengeance.

A slightly larger brown-striped fly w i t h

maroon eyes slowly ambles across the pads. Repeatedly its massive mouthparts, looking like a stovepipe, drop down and vacuum the surface.

Time losing meaning when you expe-

rience the real world. Infinite displays of life and death, of romance and great beauty, make it impossible to be bored or lonely. This is especially true when you explore a marsh by canoe.

BALL HOCKEY ACTION IN FITZROY

Photos by JOHN CARTERSeven teams braved the heat to compete in Fitzroy Harbour’s annual mixed ball hockey tournament May 28-29. The Shawville Imports won the tournament, with help from University of Massachusetts forward Danny Hobbs, a 2007 draft pick of the New York Rangers. Above Mitch Ryan, one of the stars of Brendan Coker’s Beer Garden champions, works his way up the rink against Tonya Daley’s team in action Saturday morning. Daley’s under-manned squad held a 1-0 lead for a time on Jim Wyman’s goal, but finally wilted to lose 3-1. The registration money from the tournament, the beer garden and a dance raised money for Fitzroy Community Association hall improvements. Left, a Beer Garden champion sharpshooter unleashes a ball at Daley’s goaltender Matt Messen-ger. Messenger kept his team close for most of the game.

WCA SOX SUCCESS CONTINUES WCMHA wins cash for new goaltending equipment DANIEL [email protected]

The 2009 World Junior Hock-ey Championship in Ottawa saw Canada win a gripping gold medal on home ice. Now local hockey associations are getting their golden prize as well.

Organizers distributed the first round of the tournament’s $497,000 Legacy Fund on June 7.

In total, $159,900 was handed out to associations across the capital region.

The West Carleton Minor Hockey Association (WCMHA) garnered a $5,000 prize, which will be used to buy goaltending equipment for children up to age 12.

Association president Sherry Malloy said it was important entice younger goalies and par-ents to want to try the position without having to bear the huge financial burden of the expen-sive equipment.

Last year at the notice and atom levels, West Carleton had just two designated goaltenders on its five teams.

“Typically after that age if they make the decision to remain as a permanent goalie, they pre-

fer to purchase their own equip-ment,” she said.

West Carleton had last pur-chased netminding gear in 2002 and had only been making minor repairs to older equipment.

“Our equipment manager made a full inventory review and just said, ‘This is terrible. We’re in dire need of full replacement items.’”

The one of the major stipu-lations with receiving grant money is that the initiative must have an on-going impact on the sport and community.

As a result, the association will continue its Try Being a Goalie campaign.

With Try Being a Goalie, inter-ested children are properly fit-ted for the borrowed equipment and thought some of the finer points of the game by instructor Andrew Allen.

“The key thing is with goalie equipment is it’s got to fit,” Mal-loy said. “If it doesn’t fit well and the child has a terrible expe-rience every time on the ice, they’re not going to pursue it.”

While West Carleton cashed in from the fund, the biggest recipi-ents from the grant were the Central Hockey League (CHL).

The West Carleton Arnprior Sox had a successful outing to a Nepean tournament recently, picking up third-place honours. Above, coaches give the play-ers a pep talk. Coaches from left are Mike Fergusson, Chuck Brown, Sean Gribbon and War-ren Wilson. At left, the boys are all revved up on the bench. From front are Braden Howard, John Russell, John Maika, Char-lie Armstrong, Brennan Ring and Josh Fergusson. The boys are now gearing up for a sea-son of summer ball.

Police search for burgundy truck with tinted windowsOTTAWA POLICE SERVICE

Patrol Officers in the West Carleton area responded to 46 general calls for service from the public for the reporting peri-od of June 4 to 10.

CALLING 911 A drunk female, who realized

that she was too drunk to drive home, called 911 for assistance. The female told the operator that she was kicked out of her friend’s house in Constance Bay, without her shoes, glasses and a leash for her German shepherd.Police located the female and her companion and gave them a complimentary ride home after securing her car for the night.Perhaps it was the Ger-man shepherd that barked some sense into his master.

UNSAFE DRIVING Shortly after 9 p.m. on Thurs-

day, June 10, police received a call from a complainant stat-ing that a black pickup truck was speeding and burning rub-ber in and around Second Line with a load of teens in the back.A short while later, police locat-ed the pickup truck and warned the driver of his unsafe and dangerous driving behavior.

DOG DAYS OF SUMMERShortly after 1:30 p.m. on Sat-

urday, June 5, police were called out to the Diefenbunker, at the request of the Humane Society, to look into a complaint of a possible hot dog. The original complainant told the Humane Society that the dog was left in a vehicle for the past two hours.Because of the time it would take the Humane Society to get out to the Diefenbunker from Vanier, police were called to lend assistance. Police stopped the vehicle as it was leaving the area and found everything to be in order since it wasn’t an over-ly hot-dog day. The owner was advised to leave her dog at home during hot days of summer.

EYES ON THE COMMUNITYA complainant called 911,

sometime around 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 5, after she wit-nessed three or four passen-gers lob beer bottles at street signs from a speeding truck, as it travelled along Dunrobin Road, near Galetta Side Road.The pickup was described as being burgundy with tinted windows and an Ontario license plate 2366YL. Police searched the area, but were unable to locate the bottle-lobbing pickup truck.

Another complainant, who was walking his property one Sunday morning, happened upon dozens of bags of grow-mix. Two days earlier, the complain-ant walked the same section of his property and found every-thing to be in order.

Accidents:June 5 Upper Dwyer Hill

Road, West Carleton: A driver was charged under the High-way Traffic Act for failing to yield to traffic after he attempt-ed to cross over Kinburn Side Road and was struck by a vehi-cle that had the right of way.A witness stated that the oncom-ing vehicle was travelling east along Kinburn Side Road when the car suddenly crossed into its lane from the intersection of Upper Dwyer Hill Road.No injuries were reported and both vehicles were towed from the scene.

June 10 Carp Road, Carp Village: A 78-year-old driver was charged under the High-way Traffic Act for failing to drive in a marked lane after she lost control of her vehicle and crossed into the oncom-ing lane, where she was struck by a northbound vehicle.While heading south on Carp Road the driver failed to notice the stopped vehicle that was waiting to turn left into a private drive-way until the very last second. Slamming on her brakes, the car skidded on the wet pave-ment and headed straight for the soft gravel shoulder. In an attempt to correct for the skid the driver inadvertently over corrected her steering and

e n d e d up loos-ing con-trol of her car. B o t h d r ive r s w e r e t r a n s -p o r t e d to hospi-tal with non-life t h r e a t -e n i n g injuries and the vehicles w e r e towed to

the depot with deployed airbags and major frontend damage.

B&E:June 4 Newill Place, West Car-

leton: Sometime over the past four weeks, unknown thieves broke into a vacant house, by forcing open a side garage door, and stole an AC unit with con-denser coil, a 12-foot section of copper tubing and numerous pieces of display furniture and paintings.

June 8 17 Hwy, West Carleton: Unknown suspects broke into an administrative building of Al’s Gas Bar sometime between 9:30 p.m. on Monday, June 7 and 4:40 a.m. on Tuesday, June 8 and ransacked the office – scattering the piles of papers that were stored in boxes and filing cabi-nets. The secured external door to the office building was pried

open with an unidentified tool.At the time of investigation, nothing was reported stolen.The suspects also tried to breach a storage container with a rock, but failed in their attempts.An unlocked vehicle that was parked on the property was rum-maged through, but nothing was reported stolen.

Disturbance:June 5 Houston Crescent,

South March: After a group of about 15 drunk and high fly-ing teens refused to leave a house party at the request of the home owner, police were called in at around 1:30 a.m. to clear up any possible confusion around the words – leave now.The youth finally got the mes-sage when police arrived on scene and left without any fur-ther incident.

Theft:June 8 Upper Dwyer Hill

Road, Ashton: A wood stove and a wood pellet stove were reported stolen from a dilapidated house on Upper Dwyer Hill Road. U n k n o w n t h i e v e s entered into the unlocked b u i l d i n g sometime 10 p.m. on Mon., June 7 and 6 p.m. on Tues-day, June 8.

June 9 Tansley Road, West Car-

leton: A car that was left over-night in front of Plumbing Vil-lage on Tansley Road, sometime between 4 p.m. on June 8 and 7 a.m. on June 9, was broken into by an unidentified suspect.The suspect smashed in the driver side window to gain entry into the locked car, but nothing was reported stolen.In the process, the driver side mirror was smashed and the door bashed in.

Traffic Complaints:June 10 Sunning Hills Cres-

cent, Constance Bay: Four youths, who were spotted rac-ing up and down Sunning Hills Crescent on motorbikes and a go-kart, were spoken to by police and directed to take their off-road vehicles straight home and not to use them on the roadways.The parents will be informed of this ongoing problem and educated on the potential Highway Traffic Act fines.Keep up the great work on being the eyes and ears in your community. We must all work together.

BURNING BRIGHT IN KUGLUKTUK

Photo by Derek DunnMarathon Village’s Kim Russell shares her story of taking the Olympic torch to Kugluktuk, NU with members of the Kinburn Seniors Association last month. She said people in the hamlet, near the Northwest Territories’ eastern border, were very traditional when it came to customs, but were “very thankful” to see the torch. Russell spent 106 days travelling the country with the torch in the lead-up to the Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Extend Tire LifeImprove Fuel Effi ciency• Nitrogen is a dry, inert gas used to infl ate airplane

tires, off-road truck tires, military vehicle tires, and race car tires for improved performance and safety. During its journey through the tire wall, oxygen oxidizes the rubber compounds in the tire, causing under-infl ation and deteriorated rubber. Dry nitrogen helps the tire to run cooler and more safely.

Oxygen diffuses throughthe tire much fasterthan nitrogen

Benefi ts of Nitrogen• Enhances safety• Improves fuel effi ciency by up to 4%• Extends tire-life by up to 25%• Helps prevent under-infl ation• Provides more consistent tire pressure• Reduces rim corrosionImproved Fuel Effi eciencyMaximize Road Grip & HandlingReduce Heat Buildup• An under-infl ated tire operates at high defl ection

resulting in decreased fuel economy, sluggish handling and may result in excessive mechanical fl exing and heat buildup leading to catastrophic tire failure
