COMMUNITY West Carleton ReviewProudly serving since 1980August 21, 2014 l 68 pages

Project shows true community spiritSherry [email protected]

News – It’s full steam ahead for Project San-dhills.

Project committee and community members, partners, sponsors and offi cials converged on the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Cen-tre Aug. 16 for an offi cial sod-turning ceremony for the $1.5-million expansion of the community centre.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and West Carleton March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry were among the guests for the event.

The community raised about $300,000 of the total cost of the project

The new centre includes four multi-purpose rooms, a bigger library, a group kitchen, fi tness centre, club and art rooms, a café and a patio.

Watson congratulated the community on the successful fundraising efforts.

“We’re very proud, Eli and I, to have the city contribute,” he said, noting one of the city’s best planners, Josee Helie, is on the job. “She is the best in the city and this project will come in on time and on budget,”

Watson praised the community association for its hard work and dedication to the centre, which services about 50,000 people a year.

He made note of the tireless efforts of El-Chan-tiry in seeing the project come to fruition.

“Eli has been the proverbial dog with a bone on this project, to make sure the city got the project in its budget,” said Watson. “He has been relentless in his advocacy for Constance Bay and the surround-ing community.”

All those who contributed should be proud of themselves, said the mayor.

“This is the true spirit of small town Ontario,” said Watson, who grew up in a small town of about 7,000 people. “When the community wanted to do something it got together, neighbour helping

neighbour, farmer helping farmer and they got the job done and that’s what has happened here.”

El-Chantiry thanked the mayor for his leader-ship and support for the project

Project Sandhills secretary Cindy Pratt and her son Samuel, 6, greet visitors at the initiative’s sod-turning ceremony Saturday at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay community centre. At his birthday party earlier this year, Samuel accepted donations for the project in lieu of gifts. Ot-tawa Mayor Jim Watson was among the special guests at the ceremony.

Video extolsbenefi tsof protecting Carp HillsStaff

News - A Toronto-based videog-rapher has created a two-minute fi lm on the contentious Carp Hills.

Oliver Brackenbury, who grow up in Carp, has a deep appreciation of nature in general, but a story in this edition examines his motivation for maintaining the delicate eco-system near the village of Carp.

There is a growing movement of area landowners, city offi cials, gov-ernment agencies, businesses and community groups trying to ensure the hills will be protected from de-velopment.

Others resist, saying the status quo can be kept fi rmly in place by doing nothing.

But, according to Brackenbury and others, development is coming and the area can be protected like Central Park in New York, or it can be mowed over like South March Highlands.

See the story on ‘I Care About the Carp Hills’ on pages 40-41.

Kinburn’s Swampfest to showcase local entertainmentNews - The fi fth annual Swamp-

fest is set for this Saturday, Aug. 23.Kinburn’s end of summer festival

features the live music of great local entertainers, from classic country to bluegrass as well as other activities for kids of all ages.

Enjoy free canoe and kayak rides and family games from 1 to 5 p.m.

Elk burgers will be available from 5 to 7 p.m.

Musical acts this year - from 5 to 11 p.m. - include Bryan Snider, Imali and Stephen, The Mud Hens, Andy Bowes and Brad Scott, Charlotte Van Barr, and Kyle Felhaver.

INAUGURAL IN 2010

The fi rst Swampfest in 2010 was a celebration of the 180th an-niversary of the founding of the village. The festival takes its name from the Swamp Tavern, the fi rst business of the village, established around 1830 and, in its time, was one of the few stopping places along the Ottawa-Arnprior Road.

No pictures of the Swamp Tav-ern are known to exist. The sketch of the tavern that is shown here is taken from the Star Inn at the Glengarry Pio-neer Inn at Dun-vegan, Ont.

The Star Inn was built around the same time as the Swamp Tavern, and they were quite likely similar.

The fi rst fl oor of the Star Inn has two sec-tions - the tavern and the kitchen/dining room on either side of a centre staircase.

There are two bedrooms on the second fl oor.

There was also quite likely a stable associated with the tavern where trav-ellers could feed and rest their horses.And, although the Swamp Tavern (and the swamp) are long gone, fes-tival organizers have retained the name as a link to the community’s early history.

For this year’s fun, bring along a lawn chair, bug spray, sun hat, water bottle and a safe ride home.

Swampfest is a major summer community event in the village, and is a major fund-raising event for the Kinburn Community Association.

“For me it’s a personal project more than anything,” he said. “I was in Constance Bay from 1989 and each one of this communi-ty’s members made me feel so welcome and feel at home.”

The project is a three-way partnership between the com-munity, City of Ottawa Parks and Recreation and the Ottawa Public Library, explained El-Chantiry.

“This is a labour of love among all of us to make it hap-pen,” he said.

He thanked association mem-bers, sponsors and donors.

Ian Glen, co-chair of Project Sandhills, also expressed his thanks to all, from the board members and offi cials to donors and sponsors.

Funds raised to date will get phase one started, but phase two, which includes renovation of the existing building, is on the hori-zon.

“We’re not done yet,” said Glen. “Fundraising and match-ing by the city will continue for some time,” he explained.

The features included in the expanded facility are a direct response to the community’s wishes.

“The association takes it lead from the village plan and from surveys conducted every fi ve years or so and this project falls right out of that,” said Glen.

The job will go to tender in the next couple of weeks and work could begin in October. The con-struction is expected to be com-pleted in September 2015.

Speeches were followed by photo opportunities. Project Sandhills secretary Cindy Pratt, in front, joins Ottawa May-or Jim Watson, from left, Project Sandhills board member Gerry Dain, Maha El-Chantiry and West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

News - The Fitzroy Stations Bridge over the Carp River is closed for about the next 10 weeks for rehabili-tation work, which started Monday, Aug. 18.

Galetta Side Road will also be closed between Harbour Street and Canon Smith Drive during that pe-riod. Detour signs will be in place along Harbour, Fitzroy Street and Canon Smith. The detour route will be fully accessible for pedestrians and cyclists, said the city in a news release.

The $612,000 bridge rehabilitation project includes repairs to the box girders, parapet walls and approach slabs, as well as replacements of the expansion joints. Galetta Side Road

will also be resurfaced on the bridge and at the approaches.

The rehabilitation work, an Ottawa on the Move initiative, is expected to fi nish around the end of October.

SLOW DOWN

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry is urging motorists to slow down on Kinburn Side Road as work to replace 11 culverts continues.

The roadwork is being done this year in preparation for resurfacing of the street in 2015.

“I’m asking people to please slow down as construction continues,” said El-Chantiry.

Motorists should expect short traf-fi c disruptions for the remainder of the summer on Kinburn Side Road while the work is underway.

HOW DID YOUR BUSINESS START?Ballintotas Alpacas was born from a desire to spend more quality time with our children in a low stress, family-oriented business venture. After visiting area farms, we fell in love with the alpacas’ fuzzy topknots and big expressive eyes and quickly recognized it as a rewarding hobby.

INSPIRATION TO BE THE BEST?By breeding high end, award winning alpacas we ensure that products made from our animals’ fleece are top quality.

SIGNATURE PRODUCT? Probably our alpaca socks. The super heavy terry socks are our best seller followed closely by our lighter ribbed, diabetic and ankle socks.

MOST PROUD OF?We are proud to showcase the most comprehensive line of alpaca products in the province.

SECRET TO SUCCESS?Doing something we love and believing that people want to share in that experience.

WHAT’S NEW?We are currently involved with Algonquin College in production and promotion of a new alpaca product. We are excited about this opportunity and the potential it holds.

This small family farm is full of charm. From the

gentle, intelligent and somewhat shy alpacas to

the beautifully handcrafted products made from

their fleece; this venture is a valuable reminder

of the contribution niche farms make to the fabric

of our rural landscape.

Started in 2003 with two alpacas, as a way for

owners Shannon and Chris Rouleau to spend more

quality time outdoors with their two children,

caring for livestock, the operation now produces

award winning alpacas and top quality fleece.

You are welcome to share their labour of love

by visiting the rustic farm gate store which

showcases a variety of finished and unfinished

products. Fibre directly from the animal can be

bought in its raw form, rovings are available

for spinners, and spun yarns can be purchased

for weaving and handcrafting. Finished items

such as socks, blankets, scarves and mittens

make unique and impressive gifts. Heirloom

keepsakes are accompanied by a personalized

card introducing the lucky recipient to the animal

who produced the fibre and the loving process

involved in creating the gift.

The benefits of alpaca products are numerous.

As soft as cashmere and warmer than sheep wool

the lightweight material is also hypo-allergenic.

The farm hosts National Alpaca Farm Days

annually. On this weekend, the public is invited

to tour the farm, observe crafting demonstrations,

experience alpaca farming first hand, and meet

the alpacas.

and videos, and find dates and times of events.78 Braeloch Rd., Braeside, ON

Wilcox disclosed as Carp Fair’s mystery entertainerNews - With theme of the 2014

Carp Fair - Be a Part of our Fair Tra-dition - the entertainment committee has arranged a real fair music line-up from Sept. 25 to 28, including a much anticipated mystery guest on Sunday night.

Veteran hard rocker David Wilcox was disclosed on the weekend as the entertainer who will take to the stage with Ambush on Sept. 28.

“He’s very, very high energy,” said fair media co-ordinator Stepha-nie Verk, who saw Wilcox in 1997. “Anyone who’s a fan of David Wil-cox knows his songs. They are easy to sing along to.”

A native of Montreal, Wilcox joined Ian and Sylvia Tyson’s band Great Speckled Bird in 1970, playing back-up for acts such as Anne Mur-ray, Carl Perkins, and Charlie Rich.

In 1973, after two records, Wilcox left the band to go solo. His debut al-bum, Out of the Woods, came out in 1977. It produced three top hits ‘Do the Bearcat’, ‘Bad Apple’, and ‘That Hypnotizin’ Boogie’.

His second album, My Eyes Keep Me in Trouble, released in 1983, featured ‘Downtown Came Uptown’ and ‘Riverboat Fantasy’. It was his second straight gold record and an-

other series of tours followed.Wilcox went back into the studio

in 1984 to record Bad Reputation. A year later he released The Best of David Wilcox, his fi rst compilation album, as a hit-inspired collection of his songs.

It was also the debut album for ‘Blood Money’ and ‘When You Mis-treat Her’.

In the late 1980s, Wilcox moved away from his past raw live-in-the-studio approach, to a more produced synthesizer and drum program mod-

ern rock sound. The album Breakfast at the Circus (1987) featured ‘Lay-in’ Pipe’ and ‘The Song He Never Wrote’, sounding like a Wilcox tribute to his excessive side. Other albums have followed, along with many concerts – most recently in Calabogie last weekend.

Other acts at this year’s fair in-clude David Lee Murphy taking to the stage Friday night. It will take you back with crowd pleasing songs ‘Dust on the Bottle’.

The multi-platinum-selling art-ist Joe-Joe-Joe Diffi e dominated the charts during a hot streak in the ’90s, but he has never slowed.

With chart-toppers like ‘Pickup Man’, ‘John Deere Green’, and over 20 Top-10 singles to his credit, Diffi e has little to prove at this point in his career. He is set to perform with Ot-tawa band Sidewinder and Delaney Grant, a 17-year-old singer/song-writer born and raised in Pakenham.

As is tradition, the Carp Fair also offers free afternoon shows. Satur-day afternoon is Ottawa’s own roots-rockers Silver Creek with The Mick Armitage Band who are guaranteed to make audience members dance and kick up your heels as they play Top-40 rock n’ roll classics, rhythm

and blues, and a wee bit of country.Local artist Gail Gavin and Step

Restore weekly garbage pick-up, eliminate green bins: mayoralty candidateJohn [email protected]

News - He is not trash talking but rather is talking trash.

And while it was not part of his initial platform, city of Ottawa may-oralty candidate Darren Wood of West Carleton has added the restora-tion of weekly garbage pickup to his platform because he has kept hearing about it in his campaigning, saying that people are really upset about los-ing weekly garbage collection.

Indeed, Wood readily predicts that the current mayor and council will reinstate weekly garbage collection before the end of the current term in a last ditch effort to save their po-litical futures in this fall’s municipal election.

He admits that weekly garbage collection may be a small item but he says that once people grab onto an issue, it becomes the basis of their voting decision.

If Wood’s prediction does not prove out, he says that he will bring back weekly garbage collection at the fi rst council meeting over which he presides as mayor.

And, of course, associated with garbage collection is the green bin program and its elimination has also

been added to Wood’s platform.“The green bin program was a

sham right from the start,” he says. “It should never have ever been started up due to the fact that the city knew most would not use the service.”

He says that people do not like change and especially do not like to be pushed too hard and too fast on a change and in his view this is what council did with regard to the green bin program.

He says that council should have asked the people fi rst and then it might have been accepted, rather than just implementing the change.

Wood, 45, says that the number one issue for many candidates in this fall’s municipal election is going to be garbage since so many people are “pissed off” about the lack of weekly garbage collection and the green bin program.

He says that restoring weekly gar-bage collection is a campaign prom-ise that can be easily kept, although he admits that it is not enough of an issue to base a whole campaign on it.

That’s why he has other planks in his platform: balancing the bud-get and getting city spending under control; having a zero per cent tax increase for two years of the term;

making city hall accountable and transparent; ensuring voters have more say on big ticket expenditures; freezing all council salaries and bud-gets; and reworking LRT to use ex-isting tracks.

INVOLVED IN POLITICS

Although never an elected politi-cian in his native Niagara Falls, that was where he was involved in the political process for almost 20 years as a candidate, fundraiser, campaign manager and activist, mainly fi ghting for the little guy and for the commu-nity, he says.

This included a campaign to save a Santa Claus parade and action that led to a fl ip fl op by the mayor that al-lowed the development of the Falls-view Casino with its 1,100 jobs. It showed him that a person can make a difference by becoming involved, he adds.

He found that since moving to Ot-tawa where he lives at Marathon in West Carleton, he was missing being involved in the political arena and that is why earlier he fi led to run for the city councillor position for Stitts-ville. He thought that it would be a fun experience.

But then he got into a twitter war

of words with Mayor Jim Watson over the decision to entice a profes-sional baseball team to Ottawa.

“Bringing baseball to Ottawa again from a league that most people have never heard of before was a mistake of epic proportions,” Wood says, not-ing it will cost taxpayers millions and won’t be supported over the long run with three other professional teams – the Senators, RedBlacks and Fury – already in the sports entertainment marketplace in the city.

He admits that he initially had no interest in running for mayor, that he was content running for council, but that the baseball issues irked him and he could not understand how Watson and the city could be behind such an initiative.

“This is crazy,” he says, wonder-ing what studies show that ball in Ot-tawa is viable.

His twitter exchanges with the mayor on the issue led nowhere, so he decided, after consulting with his wife and family, that he would switch and run for the position of mayor.

He says that his campaign will not be personal against Watson but will be strictly political, questioning the mayor on what he has done in offi ce during the past four years.

He says that debating the mayor

on issues should be fun, noting that he considers himself a serious candi-date for the position of mayor based on his previous political involvement and his business experience in start-ing his own successful construction company.

Wood says that he knows what he is talking about and during the cam-paign he intends to hold the present mayor accountable for what he has done in offi ce.

“I want to debate Jim (Watson) anyplace, anytime he wants,” he says, adding that he wants to hear and deal in facts. He is hoping that voters will end up questioning what Watson has been doing.

“Jim is shaping Ottawa in his im-age but at taxpayer’s expense,” Wood says, noting there are only two rea-sons why a municipality should go into debt. One is for infrastructure that requires replacing immediately and the other is to invest in infra-structure that will produce a return on investment in a realistic time span.

In his view, the Lansdowne Park project is an example of needless spending at the taxpayers’ expense with a very extended return on in-vestment.

Premier Kathleen Wynne was in town re-cently to help Mayor Jim Watson celebrate the halfway mark of construction on the Confederation line tunnel.

She also re-affi rmed the province’s commitment to funding the second phase of the light rail project, and both Wynne and Watson took time to push the federal government to make a similar pledge.

Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau would only go so far as saying when a plan for Phase 2 was presented, it would be considered in due course by the federal government.

The push by the mayor and the premier may be political theatre – Watson is seeking re-election this fall – but the current predicament should not be ignored by voters in Ottawa.

The $2.5-billion Phase 2 is scheduled to begin sometime after the initial Tunney’s Pasture to Blair Road section is completed in 2018. Moving forward with light rail, ensuring trains are running from Bayshore to Orléans, is of vital importance to the future of the city. As Ottawa grows, it will become

more important with each passing year for residents to be served by an effi cient mass transit system.

With that in mind, city council and the province must be willing to acknowledge the possibility that federal funding for the project – which would amount to around $975 million – won’t be made available. The recent attitude of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government has been to steer clear of direct investment in areas it believes are of provincial responsibility.

It’s diffi cult to say that funding a project in the capital wouldn’t be treated differently, but the city and province can’t afford to wait around for federal money to be made available. Plan B needs to be determined. Whether that means moving forward with one leg of Phase 2 or another is up to council to decide, but failing to establish an alternative, one that isn’t dependent upon federal funding, would be negligent.

Ottawa needs a transit system built for the 21st century, whether the federal government wants to play along or not.

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

In the summer many of us become Ontario road warriors. We discover new roads and rediscover old ones. On the old

roads there are always changes, some for the good, some not so much.

The roads themselves are often better. The Trans-Canada, Highway 17, heading north and west has some rough spots, but it is so much better than it used to be. The continual addition of passing lanes has made the driving easier and safer, not to mention less tense. It is reassuring, when stuck behind somebody going slow (meaning: at the speed limit), to know that a passing lane will open up just a couple of minutes. The knowl-edge makes us more patient and safer drivers.

There has also been good work

done on roadside picnic areas, havens for people wanting to save money on restaurant food or simply wanting a bathroom break.

Where things look worse is in the area of local economies. It is depress-ing to see the “closed” sign on once-favourite restaurants, gas stations and motels. Along the highway and in the small towns between here and the Manitoba border, there are more boarded-up buildings every year, with only chain operations seeming

to thrive.To be fair, there are some towns

along the way that look like they are doing all right. The stores and restaurants are newly-painted and the grass on the baseball diamond has been cut. There is still some pulp and paper activity and the growth in mining brings hope. And of course the scenery, except for the odd stretch west of Thunder Bay, is compelling.

Mind you, there are always some stretches of boredom in a two- or three-day drive. This is when we are grateful for the folks who write the signs that are supposed to help us with our driving. They tell you not to drink and drive, as if the thought had never occurred to you. They also tell you to stop texting and just drive, which is more germane. They tell

you that LARGE VEHICLES NEED MORE ROOM, another “aha!” mo-ment. However, our favourite this year, fi rst glimpsed near Wahnapitae east of Sudbury, is: DRIVE AC-CORDING TO CONDITIONS.

Really? Two images spring to mind. One is of a guy going 150 km/h in pitch dark, dense fog and pour-ing rain who suddenly sees the sign and thinks: “Wow! I never thought of that. Better slow down. And perhaps turn my headlights on.”

The other image is of the inevi-table committee meeting where this slogan was adopted. The members would gather in a windowless board-room with bottles of water and try to come up with just the right wording, one that would be easily understood, translate well and not be offensive to anyone. Possible options would be fl ashed in PowerPoint on a large screen, such as “Use Steering Wheel to Turn Car” or “Employ Brakes to

Slow Down.”In the end, after lengthy discus-

sion, “Drive According to Condi-tions” would appear to be the best option. Ontario road warriors thank the committee and urge it to Think According to Intelligence.

Diana FisherAccidental Farmwife

Opinion - Seven years ago this week, I became The Farmer’s Wife. Recently I saw a meme on Facebook asking, “If you had to marry your partner on the exact spot you fi rst met, where would that be?”

I fi rst met the Farmer when my mom brought me to his farm to pick up a Thanksgiving turkey. And we did get married on the farm, so I guess we did it right.

My middle daughter Anastasia (now married herself) was my event planner, designer and co-ordinator. The Kemptville College did the cater-ing – roast beef, salads, potatoes and rolls. A substantial farm meal. The fi rst of many to come.

My mother-in-law-to-be, Lorna, baked three of her specialty butter-milk-chocolate cakes with cream cheese icing and decorated them sim-ply with silk fl owers on top. A good friend of mine since forever, Jenny brought her own boxes of colourful fl owers to provide a backdrop for the altar, which the Farmer had created under a homemade rose arbour he built specially for the occasion.

Corey Arcand pitched a huge party tent on the lawn behind the farm-house. Our friends and family helped us set up the decorations we rented – silk fl ower trellises, yards of tulle fabric, an old farm door and a white picket fence.

The Farmer built a dance fl oor and set it in the middle of the tent. Pots of fall chrysanthemums in rich bur-gundy and gold – my favourite colour and his – lined the front of the head table.

The caterers set up dining tables and lined up chairs on both sides of the aisle leading to the altar. The bar-and-buffet tent was installed and the porta-pottie arrived.

As we sat down to our rehearsal dinner that night, I had a little panic attack. I worried the girls hadn’t orga-nized the music for the reception.

The Farmer pulled me outside for a moment. “Deep breath,” he advised, and pulled me into a big, warm hug. “It will all come together. Don’t tire yourself out. It’s just a great big party with a little bitty wedding in the mid-dle.”

That centred me and brought me back to earth.

The day of our wedding dawned damp and cool, but the sun quickly warmed things up and dried out the grass. The girls and I headed to

Rhonda’s for our up-do hairstyles and some breakfast.

Back at home, we darted past the Farmer and his men and sequestered ourselves in the big bedroom at the back of the house. My eldest, Milena, did my make-up and Jenny started what would turn out to be about 12 solid hours of photography – her priceless wedding gift to us.

When someone you’ve known most of your life takes your wed-ding photos, they don’t have staged scenes in mind. They wait until they see something they recognize as truly you, then click.

My dress came from the bridal sa-lon that was closing in Kemptville, so I got it at a really good price. The veil cost more than the dress, but we have certainly gotten our money’s worth on that as it has been worn by two other women in my family since. It’s the family veil.

My mother and father walked me down the aisle, one on either side. I’m so grateful to have shared my wedding day with Dad, as we would be saying our fi nal goodbyes just fi ve months later.

I wanted our fi ve daughters to feel involved in this new union so they each were given a verse to read from ‘On Children’ in The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. The Farmer and I wrote our own wedding vows. His had something to do with hunting and fi shing and not spending too much time on the couch.

The reverend from the United Church offi ciated, and the rain held off, though the wind threatened to blow the veil right off my head. Dan-ny Rembadi stood beside the altar and played his guitar and sang, providing the perfect soundtrack for the event.

We drove the pickup to the back of the pasture and Jenny took more pho-tos in the tractor lane and meadow. Then we had dinner, speeches and dancing under the big white tent.

The sky fi nally opened and the rain came down after dark, but by then no one cared anymore about getting a little muddy and wet. Besides, I hear it’s good luck to have a little rain on your wedding day.

It was an awesome day, full of great memories, and every year we celebrate it with another great big party on the farm.

Happy Anniversary, to the Farmer. You have made me one happy Farm-wife. Xo

Good tidings from the true northLifestyle - I am just back from a

fantastic two weeks in a remote part of Ontario.

I was conducting bird surveys at Longridge on the west coast of James Bay. There were 10 people in our camp, which was a Cree spring goose-hunt camp; two other crews were situated at camps farther south.

Our camp was apparently the most luxuri-ous for its refurbished cabins didn’t leak dur-ing rainstorms, and fresh water was available in a creek a mere half-kilometre from camp.

James Bay is salt water and thus its shores support an array of halophytic (salt-toler-ant) plants. Its salt-grass marshes were alive with Le Conte’s and Nelson’s sparrows, and Sandhill Cranes were always vocally present. American White Pelicans fl ew by on several occasions.

My most memorable sighting was three Black Guillemots sitting on a rock in James Bay. These small black and white ocean birds were the fi rst that I had encountered in On-tario.

Because it joins Hudson Bay, which con-nects with the Arctic Ocean, James Bay experi-

ences remarkable tides. At low tide in August, endless mudfl ats offer migrating shorebirds important food as they fatten up for their long journey south.

Each day we split into small groups with each walking about 20 kilometres to survey shorebirds at one of three different points jut-ting out into James Bay.

While we tallied all shorebird species, one was of particular interest. Red Knot popula-tions have precariously declined in recent years so special attention was paid to that spe-cies. Of the approximately 20,000 knots left in the world, about six per cent bear numbered, coloured fl ags on their legs. The fl ags reveal when and where the birds were caught and banded; knots have been banded in Canada, U.S.A. and South America.

One morning a young bear wandered into

the cabin I shared with Ron Ridout (of Bird Studies Canada) and Don Sutherland (of the Natural Heritage Information Centre). Don en-tered the building thinking that it was me who was making all that noise! Fortunately the bear (and Don) exited before any real damage was done.

Red Knots were seen daily, but the highlight came during one the fi nal days when northeast winds blew strong.

We were working our way to Bear Point when a fl ock of 1,100 knots – fi ve per cent of the world’s population – landed on the mud-fl ats. More than a thousand White-rumped Sandpipers and large fl ocks of Hudsonian God-wits, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Black-bellied Plovers and other species were also present. The air and mudfl ats were alive with birds!

The landscape was stunning, the fl ora and fauna invigorating, and my companions won-derful.

I left James Bay with innumerable memo-ries and a much deeper appreciation for, and understanding of, the complexity of this re-markable province.

News - The Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) are using the traditional Ab-original knowledge to help in the ef-forts to stop the decline in eel popula-tions in the Ottawa and other regional rivers.

While to some the eel is an unim-portant inhabitant of the river, to the Algonquins they are a sacred and in-spirational creature.

In a news release last week, the Algonquins announced the release of two important reports that they say will serve to bridge the gap between scientifi c and Aboriginal knowledge of Pimisi, the American eel.

The traditional knowledge reports build upon the AOO’s landmark re-port ‘Returning Kichisippi Pimisi, the American Eel, to the Ottawa River Ba-sin’, released in December 2012.

Pimisi means “eel” in the language of the Algonquin people, explains the AOO release.

“Since time immemorial, Algon-quins have held a deep connection to Pimisi as a sacred creature and provid-er of nourishment, medicine and spiri-tual inspiration. The Algonquins con-sider the eel to be a model of strength and adaptability, living in harmony with its surroundings.”

Although once abundant through-out Algonquin Traditional Territory, Pimisi has suffered “dramatic popula-tion declines in recent history and is disappearing from our waters,” says the Algonquins. Today, there are only a remnant population left in Ontario.

Deeply concerned about Pimisi’s sharp decline, the AOO are working with governments, private proponents and conservation organizations to build upon existing knowledge and to enhance protection and recovery ef-forts for the American eel.

They say the initiatives demonstrate the value of adopting a collaborative, partner-based approach to tackle com-plex issues, such as the restoration of Pimisi to its traditional habitat.

The fi rst Traditional Knowledge report released last week focuses on returning the American Eel to the Ot-tawa River Basin. In 2012, the AOO entered into a partnership with the Ca-nadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) to participate in the Ottawa River Ameri-can Eel Project.

In the fi rst year of the partnership, the AOO and the CWF engaged a re-search assistant to participate in the ongoing study of Pimisi in the vicin-ity of Lac des Chats. In addition to the scientifi c research conducted in the fi eld, the research assistant also worked to bridge the gap between scientifi c knowledge and cultural heri-tage through the collection of Aborigi-nal Traditional Knowledge (ATK) of Pimisi.

The collection of ATK speaks to the signifi cant decline of the American eel while also serving to strengthen the connection between the Algonquin

report will support, assist and complement sci-ence-based eel recovery strategies.

The OPP is asking if anyone has any informa-tion regarding this crime

to contact Lanark County OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

News – Vandals have caused a sig-nifi cant amount of damage to equip-ment at the Karson Kartage quarry on March Road.

Lanark OPP are investigating the series case of vandalism that occurred between evening of Aug. 8 and the af-ternoon of Aug. 10.

A storage trailer was turned over and a Skyjack boom was fl ipped on its side.

Both sustained a great deal of dam-age.

A small building and a Ford pick-up truck on the site were also damaged.

Lifestyle - A child’s back-pack is a trusty companion; kids are rarely seen without them.

However, a poorly adjusted backpack, or one that is too heavy, can cause back, shoul-der, and neck pain.

One teenager out of two suffers from back pain at least once a month, and what they’re wearing on their backs may very well be the cause.

That is a good reason to learn these fi ve lessons about backpacks.

1. Shop with your children. Having the child with you is the only way to choose a backpack that will be the right size.

The backpack should not be higher than the shoulders or wider than the back, and should reach down to just above the hips.

2. Choose the right mate-rial. A light synthetic canvas is better than a heavier cotton or leather. An empty bag should weigh no more than 500 grams

for a child and one kilogram for a teenager.

3. Choose a neutral colour. A neutral bag will better stand up to changing fashions. Ex-pensive designer brand bags could also be a poor choice; kids grow up fast.

4. Examine the shoulder straps. These should be at least fi ve centimetres wide

and be adjustable and padded. A waist strap and a chest strap allow for better weight distri-bution.

5. Educate your children. Teach kids to only bring home what is strictly necessary in order to do their homework.

The weight of the fi lled bag shouldn’t exceed 10 per cent of their body weight.

One teenager in two feels back pain at least once a month. Backpacks may be the cause.

New this year - Learn to Curl program. Lessons and instructions

provided, ideal for beginners and families

Lifestyle - Teenaged girls - and, increasingly, boys - are intensely conscious of their appearance.

They want to wear differ-ent clothes every day, and expensive labels are usually preferred.

But parents’ wallets have their limits, and teenagers’ even more so.

SOME HELPFUL TIPS

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your dollars and pick up some sen-sible spending habits.

1. Exchange clothes. At the beginning of a new school year, young people are some-times fed up with clothes that are neither worn out nor out-dated.

This is when parents can suggest exchanging clothes with friends, on the principle that what is old for them is new for others.

2. Watch out for sales. It is useful to teach young people to watch out for sales. Tak-ing advantage of substantial discounts at the end of a sea-son will let them buy items at lower prices.

3. Visit thrift stores. Help teens discover the fun and good sense of these shops, where original, quality cloth-

ing can be found for almost nothing.

4. Choose sustainable ‘es-sentials’. Help children un-derstand that it is better to pay a little more for some timeless items rather than having to replace them year after year.

`This is as much a fi nancial consideration as an environ-

mental one.5. Beware of expensive la-

bels. Allow teens to include

a few fl ashy labels in their wardrobe, but no more than that. Help them understand that the people they are - what they say and what they do - is much more important than what they wear.

Smart tips for cool teens

A new school year is an opportunity to teach our children sensible spending habits.



Venta Preparatory School has grown and has expanded into the community. Tutor-ing, enrichment and study skills programs are now being offered for all students from all area schools at Venta, through the Venta Community Learning Centre (VCLC), lo-cated only minutes from Canadian Tire Place in Kanata,. “You can now give your child a boost to their education with Venta’s proven approach in an after school and weekend program tailored to your child’s individual learning profi le.” says Elizabeth Barnes, Centre Director of VCLC and Manager of Admissions for Venta Prepa-ratory School. At VCLC, the motto is “It takes a village to raise a child”. With today’s hectic lifestyles and busy schedules, a sense of com-munity, belonging and working together as a team are more important than ever. Venta is proud of their unique and tailored approach and are thrilled to be able to offer their ser-vices to students from all schools. Your child can attend Venta Community Learning Centre for tutoring, enrichment, study skills or extra support. Venta Commu-nity Learning Centre students will work on an individual program that has been devel-oped through a comprehensive assessment, and through talking with you, their parent.

VCLC is unique in that they will listen to you and learn about your child to identify your goals, your child’s goals and the classroom goals to create an achievable plan. What sets Venta Community Learning Centre apart is that they promise to work as a team with you, your child’s teacher and your child, to iden-tify areas of strength and areas to work on, while building your child’s confi dence and self-confi dence. We are all unique learners. Children need to understand their own learning profi le, in order for them to learn how they learn best. By doing all of these things, in a warm and nurturing environment, your child’s motiva-tion will increase; your child will become an active learner, and ultimately, your child will gain confi dence in all areas of life, not just academics. Learning is so much more than sitting at a desk, and at Venta, they believe in developing your whole child, through knowl-edge, acceptance, achievement and a sense of community. After all, the days are long but the years are short, and in this integral time in your child’s life, it does take a village to raise a child. Venta is committed to our chil-dren, and our community.

Look great for the new school yearLifestyle - The start of a

new school year is always an important step for teens.

It’s the perfect moment to have a complete makeover and present your best face for the year ahead. Here are fi ve beauty stops on the back to school path to looking great.

1. Cosmetics counter: For a healthy complexion, focus on a proven beauty routine - cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate. Makeup should be used to enhance your natural beauty; there’s no need to overdo it.

2. Hair salon: Has your hair been damaged by the summer sun and pool chlorine? There are lots of hair care products available that are intended to repair this kind of da mage. Take the opportunity to treat yourself to a new style, pretty streaks, or why not both.

3. Beauty salon: To sleekly sparkle from head to toe, think about pampering your hands, feet, and nails; after all, they deserve some attention as well.

4. Dental clinic: Don’t for-get your smile; be sure your vi sit to the dentist coincides with the start of the new school year.

5. Boutique: Breathe new life into your wardrobe by fl ipping through some fashion magazines in search of all the latest trends. Just a few well-

chosen clothes and accesso ries will show off your true colours and your personality.

It can be tempting to overdo it in an effort to stand out from the crowd. Remember it’s bet-ter to be noticed for your little je ne sais quoi rather than as someone who goes over the top.

Look your best for back to school.

Be done with boring lunches

Lifestyle - Have you run out of ideas for varying the contents of the kids’ lunch boxes? Freshen up your lunch-box menu with these ideas.

You can put your children’s fa-vourite leftovers in an insulated con-tainer or a mi crowaveable dish. You could also cook larger quantities in the evening and use the leftovers as the basis for different dishes. Cut

trips of chuck roast eaten in the eve-ning to add to an Asian pasta salad; make chicken fried rice with the re-mains of a roasted chicken.

You can also offer tempting sand-wiches with whole grain pitas, ba-guette, or tortillas. And fruits and vegetables are always good for lunch. For sandwiches, opt for whole grain pitas, baguette, or tortillas.

Dyslexia has direct impact on academic performance

Lifestyle - Does your child read very slowly and inaccurately?

Maybe you should check to see if he or she is part of the 8 to 12 per cent of the population struggling with dyslexia. This learning disabil-ity is neurological in origin and is presumed to be genetically determined.

DIAGNOSIS

The main symptoms of this disability vary in severity and in presentation from one person to another.

Symptoms• Slow reading, especially when reading less

frequently used words.• Tentative reading, shown as diffi culty

breaking down words and translating letters into sounds.

• Mixing up the sounds associated with let-ters.

• Inaccurate reading of words that are not spelled according to common patterns.

• Reading words by guessing what they are from their visual appearance.

It is a well-known fact that dyslexia has a direct and signifi cant impact on academic per-formance. It can lead to diffi culty in rea ding comprehension, a limited vocabulary, problems learning a second language, and pervasive prob-lems when reading and wri ting are required.

The course to followAt school, a personalized intervention plan

and good co-operation between the various professionals can enable children to pro gress in their schooling. Here are a few ways this work can be continued at home:

• Build a love of reading. Read different

kinds of writing to your child, or read together.• Encourage the accurate reading of words.

Read simple texts together, such as jokes, reci-pes, and the like.

• Help your child to understand language rules. Play word games such as Scrabble, Hang-man and Scattergories.

Dyslexia has a direct and signifi cant impact on academic achievement.

Lifestyle - One of your worst fears has mate-rialized - your teen is using drugs.

But it’s useless to feel guilty or to panic. Ig-noring the situation is not the right way to go either. It is far better to approach the problem with discussion, understanding, and account-ability.

Discussion: Approach the subject calmly with your teen when he or she is not under the infl uence of drugs. Make him aware of your suspicions. Rather than criticize, express what you feel about the situation, whether it’s anxi-ety, incomprehension, or fear. Give him your support and encourage him to fi nd his own so-lutions for stopping the drug use.

Understanding: If your child is not of the opinion that taking drugs is a problem, do not try to force him outright to stop using them. In-stead, have a discussion about the reasons that led him to take drugs in the fi rst place. Help him to get the correct information about drugs, let him know the range of resources he has at his disposal to get help, and tell him that he can count on your support. There is no point in giv-ing him orders or trying to protect him in spite of himself. The right attitude to adopt is that of a guide.

Accountability: It is a mistake to cover up mistakes or misdemeanours your teenager has committed under the infl uence of drugs. It is important to let him face the consequences of

his actions. He must face his debts, justify his absences from school himself, and deal with the consequences of poor academic performance.

If your child is using drugs, the right atti-tude to take is that of a guide.

How to know if your child’s a perfectionist? Lifestyle - Being a perfectionist can be a good thing, but

only if it the tendency is kept within reasonable limits.If not, this character trait can become unhealthy and

cause a lot of imbalance in a child’s life.How can parents judge if their child’s search for perfec-

tion is excessive? How can they help him or her to better manage it? The following advice may be of use.

Sure, we try to teach our children that if a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing well. But that doesn’t mean every-thing has to be perfect.

HARMFUL BEHAVIOUR

Perfectionism is harmful to our well-being when it re-sults in additional stress. The constant dissatisfaction of striving for unattainable goals results in a frantic pace and constant self-doubt.

If you notice this kind of attitude in your children, take action right away in order to help them regain their self-esteem. They must not be allowed to sink further into the vicious circle of perfectionism.

Be a role model for your children in their progress to-wards a healthy attitude regarding effort and making mis-takes. The help of a psychologist may also be appropri-ate.

The best method to follow is to ease back one step at a time. Help your child fi nd a way to change one behav-iour at a time and gradually relax the rigid rules she has imposed on herself. Over time, she will understand that not all situations require the same degree of perfection and that her loved ones do not require it either.

She will learn to set achievable goals and take pleasure in attaining them, without worrying exclusively about suc-ceeding.

Teach her that making mistakes is a part of life and a part of learning.

Unhealthy perfectionism is harmful to self-esteem.

Guidance counsellors can help students stay on the right track

What do I want to do when I grow up?This is a question that young people ask

themselves over and over again once they reach adolescence. But pressure to arrive at an answer can lower their motivation or even lead them to drop out of school.

That is why it is highly benefi cial for stu-dents to take advantage of the career counsel-ling services offered in high schools and post-secondary institutions.

These services can help students who have little interest in their studies, who are failing their courses, or who have little knowledge of the job market as it relates to their career aspi-rations. Guidance counsellors can shed light on the possibilities that are open to them, depend-ing on their interests, personality, and academic results.

If students have no idea what they want to do in life, a guidance counsellor can give them multiple tests that can highlight career areas they should consider. The counsellor can then explain the requirements for enrollment in aca-demic or training programs related to these sec-tors.

Next, the counsellor might discuss job pros-pects and possible salary levels in order to pro-

vide an overall picture of a particular career choice.

Guidance counsellors can provide students with all the necessary tools to begin or continue the career decision-making process, one of the most important in their lives.

The help of a guidance counsellor is ad-vantageous for students who are unsure of their future.

The ORCC men’s and women’s kayak will include competitors in both singles and crew boats, including the infamous war canoe.

Sports - The Ottawa Sena-tors are coming to Arnprior today (Thursday).

The NHL team announced last Friday that the team’s inaugural Hometown Tour series to promote the team through eastern Ontario and western Quebec will make a stop in Arnprior Aug. 21.

Ottawa Senators players Robin Lehner and Jared Cow-en will be at the Canadian Tire store in Arnprior from 1:30 to 5 p.m., with an autograph ses-sion beginning at 3:30 p.m.

Lehner touted as the Sena-tors goalie of the future is ex-pected to share playing time with Craig Anderson this sea-son.

Cowen is a young, hard-rock defenseman, expected to anchor the team’s defence for many years.

The pre-season tour was scheduled to begin Tuesday and allows the public to meet Bell Media, CTV, TSN 1200

and RV Canada personalities along with the Senators play-ers. As well as an autograph session, the tour will include interactive games, prizes and more.

The Senators will institute a wristband policy in an ef-fort to streamline player au-tograph sessions at each tour stop. Wristbands, in limited quantity, will be made avail-able at the Arnprior Canadian Tire store’s customer service desk on the day of the tour stop beginning at 9 a.m.

TICKETS UP FOR GRABS

Each tour stop will also feature a chance to win two tickets to the Senators’ Oct. 16 home-opening contest against Colorado. Fans are encouraged to monitor the team’s social platforms for additional opportunities to win prizes on the day of the respective tour stop.

A United in Red fan ban-ner will also accompany the Hometown Tour, providing fans with the opportunity to submit messages of support to the team.

The banner will later be displayed at Canadian Tire Centre as Senators players ar-rive for the fi rst day of train-ing camp.

Arnprior and Pembroke (also on Aug. 21) are the two tour stops in the Upper Ot-tawa Valley.

Other communities receiv-ing visits from the Senators between Aug. 19 and 28 are Aylmer and Gatineau in Que-bec and Barrhaven, Brock-ville, Cornwall, Hawkesbury, Kingston, Rockland and Smiths Falls.

Throughout the tour, CTV News at Six and TSN 1200 will feature live interviews from various locales high-lighting the players and fans in attendance.

Sports - “He’s the kind of guy you wish you could clone and give that work ethic to every athlete who walks through the door.”

The quote, spoken by the direc-tor of athlete development of Elite Performance Academy Pat Wood-cock, embodies the qualities of West Carleton Secondary School alumnus Andrew Baker.

The 18-year-old Baker is pre-paring to head off to Memorial University of Newfoundland. He was recruited by the post-second-

ary institution for its basketball team.

“Andrew’s been one of our most dedicated athletes over the last few years; the kind of guy who has an unquenchable work ethic,” said Woodcock, who is also the co-founder of EPA.

Baker, who grew up in Dun-robin, started shooting hoops in

Grade 1, “just for fun,” he said. “Honestly, it was one of those things; my parents, when I was a young kid, they wanted to put me into sports, get me active.

“It wasn’t until Grade 9 that I played on my fi rst competitive team … I liked basketball, but I didn’t start getting serious about it until Grade 11.”

When he got serious, he started training at EPA with Woodcock and Donnie Ruiz.

“They made me realize I could play university basketball; that it was within my reach,” said Baker. “They really helped me become

more athletic, to improve my body, my strength and improve mentally.

“I was like, ‘Ok, I don’t just like this, I have a future in this.’”

Baker is a shooting guard, a versatile position, he said. He’s played for the Ottawa Next Level, the West Carleton Wolves and the Ottawa Guardsmen.

His most memorable basketball moment happened in Grade 12.

“We went to OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic As-sociations) and that was awesome. It was just an awesome experience to represent my school … with the guys on my team. West Carleton is never known for basketball. We were the fi rst team for basketball (from the school) ever sent to OF-SAA. We were the fi rst ones to win in Tier 1.”

The Wolves were knocked out by the team that took the champi-onship.

“The fact that we went to OF-SAA was really cool. We played

pretty well,” Baker said. Up next for the West Carleton-

ite is to continue training so he can achieve his goal of becoming a na-tional athlete.

“I have a lot of goals; I want to win a national championship. I want to become an all-Canadian. I want to play on the national team at some point in my life,” Baker said.

“I’m going to continue working hard at EPA. They’re awesome at helping athletes reach their goals. They keep you in check, keep you in line … You go in and tell them what your goals are and they just help you get there.”

Woodcock said Baker has what it takes to accomplish his goals if he can fi nd the right opportunities.

“If a coach is willing to give him a chance to get in there and show what he can do, he’s going to put forward his maximum effort,” he said. “He has (what it takes) to reach the goals he’s set for him-self.”

Paddy Paddy was found in Arnprior back in March after many years roaming the streets and fending for himself. This handsome boy has many battle scars from his time spent living on the streets, his ears are torn & his teeth were broken from the years of fighting with other cats. It didn’t take Paddy long to decide that he enjoys being taken care of, he had some dental work to remove his broken teeth and with regular meals and TLC, he has thrived. Despite everything he has been through he is quite simply one of the nicest, sweetest cats to come into the shelter. He is approx. 6-7 years old, he is an easy going, affectionate boy, he doesn’t mind other cats or dogs. He really deserves to find his special forever home where he will

never have to worry about fighting for survival again.

Sports - Galetta bowlers came out on top in the District 16 Singles Playdowns at the Brock-ville Lawn Bowling Club Aug. 2-3.

The District 16 Women’s Singles champion is Flo Silvestro who beat her Galetta opponent Karen Oatman in the tie-breaker. The District 16 Men’s Singles champion is Dave Jefferies who won the tie-breaker against his Galetta op-ponent Grant Fletcher.

Even though Bowls Canada has removed the singles event from the National Bowls Cham-pionships held annually in August, each of the

Canadian provinces hosts their own singles bowls championships. This year the Ontario Men’s and Women’s Singles Championships is being held at the Belleville Lawn Bowling Club on Saturday, Sept. 20-21 where the Dis-trict 16 champions, Silvestro and Jefferies, will compete against winners from the other 15 districts in Ontario for gold, silver and bronze placement.

Despite its elimination form the nationals, singles remains one of the most exciting and challenging bowls events.

Pickling and preserving time busy time for Mary and family

Lifestyle - The air was heavy in the summer kitchen.

Spices, boiling sugar and sealers in a pot of hot water fi lled the small space with a sweet steam, covering the two little windows and causing Mother to take a swipe at her face with her big white apron whenever she had a free hand.

It was pickling and preserv-ing time on the farm in Ren-frew County.

The swinging shelf, in the dug-out that served as our cel-lar, was just about bare, and what Mother was ‘putting down’ would see us through the winter at least, and hope-fully until the next crop of pro-duce was ready for picking.

The summer had been good to our garden.

Soft rainy days, hot sun and cool evenings guaranteed a goodly crop of vegetables, and the raspberries from our back bush, strawberries grow-ing along the railway tracks, and chokecherry trees heavy with fruit, were all turned into jams, jellies and preserves.

The crops were so ample that Mother even had enough to peddle in Renfrew on Sat-urdays with her eggs, home-made butter, chickens and sticky buns. Yes, the summer had been good to us.

My sister Audrey, much older than I was, helped Moth-

er, but I was considered too young to do much more than hull berries, or pick beans out of the garden.

As long as I was in on the action, that was enough to sat-isfy me, however, and I was grateful to at least have a hand in what was going on for days in the summer kitchen.

“Putting down” was always like a miracle to me. Especial-ly when it came to the yellow beans that grew in great abun-dance in our garden.

When I was sent out to bring in another dish-pan full of yel-low beans, I managed to eat almost as many as I picked.

Mother trusted me to pick only those that were ready for ‘putting down’, and to leave the smaller ones, which would grow into a good length before you knew it! I would put the dish-pan of beans on the bake table, and take a tin pail and go to the pump in the yard and bring in fresh water and pour it into the pan.

It was my job then to wash each bean ... not a handful at

a time, but one bean after an-other! Then they were laid out on a clean tea towel, and pat-ted dry.

Mother fed them into big sealers, poured on boiling brine, put lids on tightly, and turned the jars upside down, and there they sat for two days ... not one day, not three days, but two days.

Mother said the timing was important, according to Aunt Bertha Thom on the next farm, who taught Mother everything she knew about putting down preserves and vegetables for the winter.

The pot of spices simmer-ing on the back of the Findlay Oval would be for the pickled beets. The day before, they had been boiled, cooled, skinned, and were ready for slicing.

And then they would join the long line of pickles on the swinging shelf in the dugout.

Pickling and preserving went on for weeks.

As crops ripened, they were turned into crisp pickles, pre-serves, jellies and jams with the sole purpose of seeing us through the long cold winters that were commonplace in Renfrew County, often cutting us off from going even as far as Briscoe’s General Store a few miles away.

Ottawa residents can breathe easy

Dr. Clean Air is an Ottawa-based, family run company that is bringing the gift of clean air to thousands of people in the area. The team set out to provide its customers with professionally cleaned heating, ventilation, and HVAC though dedication and honest service.

The success of their six-step process is what sets them apart from other duct cleaning companies. Adherence to the highest quality standards in customer service and delivery of clean air means that you will be able to see the difference as well as feel it with every breath you take. Dr. Clean Air video tapes before and after the work is done, and shows you the remarkable results.

With the high-efficiency of today’s homes our central air systems are overworked and often recirculate dust and germs through the house rather than allowing them to exit properly. Have you noticed allergies occurring, are you sneezing even when the windows are closed? This could be a result of a dusty and pollen filled venting system.

When our vents collect dust they also invite dust mites and other pests to take root. These often forgotten pests can be the cause of many ailments and reactions. Have a professional like Dr. Clean Air assess your ventilation systems and clean them to avoid more serious reactions.

Have you just built a new home? Take a look in your returns and vents. Often contractors leave a buildup of drywall dust and other debris that could lessen the effectiveness of you HVAC, causing it to work harder. A blocked vent can cause cold or warm spots in your home and cost you money as the temptation to turn up the dial to compensate becomes a need.

Dr. Clean Air offers affordable duct cleaning at an affordable price.

Continued from Page 34But we needn’t worry about

ever wanting for something to put on the supper table. By the time the Fall weather started, the smoke house would be full of meat, the shelves in the dugout heavy with sealers, and soon the sauerkraut barrel would be in the summer kitch-en alongside the salt pork.

There never seemed to be enough money for frivolous spending on such luxuries as

new hair ribbons when the ones I had could be washed and ironed, or long white stockings when last year’s beige ones were perfectly fi ne, but we always had ample food to put on the table. Father be-lieved it was a poor farmer indeed, who in spite of the Depression, couldn’t feed his family.

We were indeed poor in the true sense of the word, but our bellies were full, there was

enough wood to keep the Find-lay Oval humming through the winter, the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina kept clothes on our backs, our entertainment was self-made, and good neighbours were al-ways there to lend a helping hand.

And when I saw that swing-ing shelf in the dug-out laden with winter stores, I knew for a fact we were very rich in-deed!

Carp fi refi ghters serve corn, good cheerCommunity - Carp fi refi ghters from Station 64 kept the cooking fi res burning during their annual corn boil and barbecue on Aug. 14. The rain and chilly weather didn’t keep the crowds at bay as people lined up for hotdogs and burgers, pulled pork, and, of course, boiled corn. A portion of the funds raised were donated to Habitat for Humanity’s Global Village in support of local fi refi ghters building a house for a family in Paraguay, while the remaining profi ts will be reinvested in the community. Firefi ghter Nicholas Wade reports that the corn boil was a great success, raising $1,000.

Oliver Brackenbury grew up in Carp, a stone’s throw away from what was then-dubbed the hid-

den lake area in the Carp Hills. He saw his fi rst beaver dam there

during a kindergarten class outing. The Carp Hills, the abundance of fl ora and fauna, shaped his outlook on the need for harmony between man and nature.

“It was almost magical and Dis-ney-esque,” he said of the hills that shaped his childhood.

“I just know that in many, many ways, starting with the fi rst class trip in kindergarten … I personally ben-efi ted greatly from those woods.”

Before the village of Carp became part of the City of Ottawa, more than 20 years ago when Brackenbury was on the cusp of hitting the age of double-digits, he noticed there was no recycling on his street – no blue or black boxes at the curb with the trash.

So he changed that. He and his father would drive

around to their neighbours’ homes on garbage day, to collect the re-cyclables that had previously been tossed in the trash and drive it to the recycling facility themselves.

Today, he’s hoping to effect more change.

Brackenbury, now 32, lives in Toronto as a freelance writer and videographer. He has produced two

YouTube channels – his current is self-titled, the other, In a Handful of Minutes – and is working on shop-ping a TV series idea.

On returning home, he fi nds the hidden lake he used to visit in the Carp Hills is no longer really hid-den. There’s also a new subdivision which, he said, is ironically labelled Hidden Lake. It’s a beautiful area still, but some of the natural wonder

– the feeling of something Disney-esque – has been lost.

“Parts have been developed,” he said. It’s an unfortunate by-product of suburban sprawl but he under-stands people have to live some-where.

“I have nothing against anyone who lives in there, (but) it was defi -nitely a wake-up call for me, to learn about – is anything protecting the woods?”

The Carp Hills encompass a large area – more than 1,700 hectares (4,200 acres) – from the southeast section of the South March High-lands in Kanata, to the northwest at Kinburn Side Road in West Car-leton, and sandwiched between Carp and Marchurst roads.

The city’s Offi cial Plan designat-ed the lands as a natural environment area with signifi cant wetlands and the area is zoned as environmental protection, generally limiting devel-opments to one dwelling.

The problem is that as the city’s population continues to grow, there are more people, more groups, using the Carp Hills, forging new trails in sensitive areas and trespassing on private property.

When asking who or what is protecting the woods, Brackenbury learned of the Friends of Huntley Highlands.

He read through the information on the group’s website, which, he

said, took a bit of time. Not that peo-ple have short attention spans, but from his experience, he knew that often the best way to grab someone’s attention is with something short that can be watched on the go.

He thought about how he could help. Funds? Not a lot of extra cash lying around. Time? Not likely, liv-ing fi ve hours away. Skills? A pos-sibility.

“It sounded to me like the group needed, I don’t know, publicity,” he said. “Who can’t watch a two-min-ute video?”

The Friends of Huntley Highlands group is just getting started, said Janet Mason, the co-chair and

a landowner of more than 81 hect-ares (200 acres) in the area. The fi rst public meeting was held in March to

hear community concerns and ideas to help develop the Friends’ mani-festo.

The result is a collaboration of

landowners, the city, government agencies, businesses and commu-nity groups working together to cre-ate public access areas into the city-owned lands in the Carp Hills and to preserve the area’s natural state.

“It’s like a little piece of Algon-quin Park, Gatineau Park up there. (We need to) raise awareness and get people to care – and then do some-thing with us, help us,” she added.

“A lot of people think ‘status quo,’ they want it to stay the same, but we’ve got to manage the change.”

The video, I Care About the Carp Hills, explains the signifi cance of the lands, what needs to happen to ensure the preservation of the area, and, most importantly, why people should care.

The City of Ottawa bought up a patchwork of the lands a number of years ago – about 324-plus hectares (800-plus acres), said West Carleton-March Coun. El-Chantiry.

“If you can tell from the video, it shows different pockets where the city owns,” he noted.

“The region at the time bought it to protect it from development. I think it was a really wise decision in my opinion,” he said. “It’s a beauti-ful ridge; it’s beautiful nature.”

However, there is no longer fund-ing available from the city to contin-ue to purchase lands for public use.

It is up to the volunteers and sup-porters of Friends of Huntley High-

lands to raise any money for that purpose.

Friends member Greg Leblanc said at the March meeting that it would only take $1-or $2-million for key purchases, to which El-Chan-tiry reiterated that the city’s days of funding rural properties to stop de-velopment are over.

So far, there are no large devel-opers in the area, but that could change.

Or, as highlighted at the March meeting, there is nothing stopping individuals from purchasing a small parcel of land and building a house. If that happens too often, the entire highlands could no longer be en-joyed by the public.

“We have to come up with raising the money or we can let it go the way it is,” Leblanc said at the meeting.

“The lands will be sold, fenced off and houses built, and it’s gone for good.”

“Look at the South March High-lands area, the Beaver Pond area. We just want to try to avoid that up there,” said Mason.

That area in Kanata north was fi rst purchased by developers in the 1980s. There wasn’t much objection over the purchase until the signifi -cance of the lands became known and KNL Developments announced its subdivision plans.

Tree cutting began in 2011 bring-ing an end to months of protests over the controversial development.

Brackenbury knows people who work for development companies – he declined to name names – and said he’s been warned.

“Development companies say, ‘You need to get on this now.’ They’ve seen groups in other areas – if you wait until the bulldozers are coming, then it’s done,” Bracken-bury said.

“It’s possible that within our life-time if the Carp Hills are managed carefully, the Carp Hills could be like Central Park in Manhattan. That would be a better future than build-ing over it.

“Change is going to happen. All you can do is manage it.”

In his old stomping grounds, Brackenbury hit the pave-ment going door-to-door and speaking with landowners. He

wanted the video to have a mix of thoughts and opinions from people who weren’t necessarily associated

with Friends, to help underline the importance of the issue, he said.

He met a handful of people who were a little resistant to opening the area to the public – what if people start tramping through private prop-erties to reach city-owned lands?

“There has been usage of private landowners’ land near the village – some aren’t pleased,” said Mason.

“What we were hoping to do is try to divert people onto city-owned land near the village.”

El-Chantiry said the plan is to have signs installed near the old Cra-zy Horse property to direct people onto the public lands.

“We’re going to take baby steps. We can start with that, clearing some brush and put proper signage up in the fall, before the snow, so people can use the trails owned by the city,” he said. “We would like to work with the landowners; that’s some-thing that’s really in the works.

“It’s a great initiative. It’s great to have such beautiful highlands in our own community.”

Mason and Brackenbury both hope the video will assuage any con-cerns, and encourage people to get

involved with Friends of Huntley Highlands and to learn more about the Carp Hills – like the fact that it houses ancient Canadian shield, for-ests, wetlands, farmlands and fl ood plains, and thousands of plant and animal species.

They hope for positive change. They hope to preserve the land for

ent Fairy Tale Ending - A Big Bad Musi-cal for the upcoming holiday season.

The show is a new musical that cen-tres around three beloved fairy tales: The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and Three Billy Goats Gruff. It is a show that is full of music and fun.

Preparations have already started to make the show one that will have audi-ences bopping in their seats and cheering on their favourite characters, says Kanate

Theatre’s Paul Behncke.But fi rst we need you, he says. The

production needs 25-30 actors who would like to bring this musical to life under the direction of Clare Flockton.

“Casting is not defi ned by age, so come on down and show us what you can do,” he says.

Auditions will take place at the Ron Maslin Playhouse on Sept. 6 and 7 at 1 p,m,, and Sept. 8 at 6 p,m.

Prospective actors should come pre-

pared with a musical number they are able to sing a cappella (vocals only). Music should be chosen from the musical theatre genre. No pop songs please.

There will also be some cold readings, as well as some movement exercises to fi ll out the audition process.

If you have any questions regarding the auditions, or how you can help out with “this fantastic show,” please email clare-fl [email protected] or visit the website at www.kanatatheatre.com.

Kanata Theatre is holding auditions in early September for Fairy Tale Ending – A Big Bad Musical.

Paddlers leave the dock at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site during the annual Riverfest cel-ebration in Dunrobin. Guide Shirley Walsh steers the 34-foot replica voyageur canoe, which is part of the Rideau Roundtable project to help residents explore the natural and historical region from the water.

Becky Mason demonstrates style canoeing off the shore of Pinhey’s Point Historic Site in Dunrobin on Aug 10. Mason, a noted paddler who developed a style canoeing program for Paddle Canada, was performing at the historic site’s annual Riverfest celebration.

Vincent Li, Sam-uel Qing and Yu Wang were a captive audi-ence for Cork-ery Road musi-cians Aug 10 at Pinhey’s Point in Dunrobin. The Kanata kids were at the his-toric site for Riv-erfest, an annual event celebrat-ing the history of the Ottawa River.

Bereavement retreat connects those who’ve lost loved onesAdam [email protected]

Community - A free retreat in Arnprior for those grieving the death of a loved one hopes to ease the pain by sharing resources and experi-ences during day trips in early September and October.

The Care and Share Bereavement Retreats, hosted by Hospice Care Ottawa, feature a day of sharing experiences as well as relaxation at the Galilee Retreat Centre in Arnprior on Sept. 10 and Oct. 1.

The idea is to give those who have recently lost a loved one a chance to talk about what they have gone through, to fi gure out where they are in their bereavement and learn to take time for themselves again, said Sandy Curtis Arnot, a support care nurse with Hospice Care Ottawa who oversees the bereavement support program.

“The bereavement retreat itself is a very gen-tle, nurturing kind of day,” she said.

COPING WORKSHOP

Retreat participants can leave the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice on 110 McCurdy Dr. in Ot-tawa by bus at 8:30 a.m. both days and begin the day with a workshop to give people a chance to share, learn coping tips and receive information on grief resources available to them.

“It’s an opportunity to talk about things that that person needs to talk about.”

“For one individual it might be the actual cir-cumstances of what happened that day of the death and for other people … it’s adjusting to one’s role,” said Curtis Arnot.

“You are no longer a husband or a wife for instance, (that means) making changes in your daily life if you have been the caregiver to someone and they are no longer there.”

The sudden hole created by the loss of some-one can make it very diffi cult for people to ad-just to their new reality, said Curtis Arnot.

But sharing experiences and coping strate-gies with those who have gone through some-thing similar is a very valuable, she said.

“Often, in your regular life, people don’t know someone who has maybe suddenly lost their spouse or suddenly lost their daughter,” said Curtis Arnot.

“It’s helpful to meet people who are walking that same type of path.”

After the hour-long morning segment, the rest of the day is about relaxation, with yoga, reiki, massages, art therapy and a forest walk, which tends to be the highlight of the retreat, said Curtis Arnot.

These activities help participants to think about their own well-being again, she said, as many have been taking care of their ailing loved one for an extended period.

“They take away pieces like the importance of making time for themselves or doing things that are important to them or something kind to themselves, because if they have been a care-giver up to that loss, often people have put their own personal needs and interests on hold for sometimes a very long time,” said Curtis Ar-not.

Ultimately, it’s often the sharing that makes the biggest difference, she said.

“(Participants) are often really surprised at how generous the volunteers have been and how much there is to be gained just by sharing that bit of information with another human be-ing who is actually going to listen to them and be nurturing and kind.”

The day ends at 4:30 p.m.

SPACES AVAILABLE

There are still plenty of spaces left for both retreats, said Kristina Voth-Childs who orga-nizes the events. There is room for 35 guests each day.

For more information, contact [email protected] or call 613-591-6002 ext. 29.

Forty-nine guests attend the 2013 Care and Share Be-reavement Retreat in September at the Galilee Retreat Cen-tre in Arnprior.

REFLECTING ON SUMMER 2014

With the summer almost over and fall just around the corner, it’s a good time to reflect on what has been a productive few months.

I visited all corners of our city this summer and was reminded once again just how

Bay; to festivals around Ottawa like those celebrating our Italian, Lebanese, and Indian communities; to fairs like those in Navan, Gloucester, and Carp (upcoming), and music festivals for blues, folk, chamber, and jazz; Ottawa has not been short on places to visit and things to do this summer.

In this busy summer two events stand out to me. The first of which was the opening

been working on since I was first elected as a City Councillor in 1991. To see the

an eyesore in the centre of our city but now it is finally coming to life as a place that residents can be proud of and visitors will come to see. It was a long road getting to

Lansdowne again and watching them enjoy the different elements of the site has been one of the highlights of my summer.

The second event that stands out for me from summer 2014 is marking the 50% completion mark of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) tunnel. This was another project that saw many stops and starts, redesigns, and second guesses. But this council set those

in Ottawa in decades. To be able to go down in the tunnel and walk through almost

changer the LRT is going to be for Ottawa and its residents. And to meet and thank some of those highly skilled workers who are doing the tunneling work made the day that much better.

It has been a busy summer but one that I look back on fondly. I hope that yours too was an enjoyable one and that we can get a few more weeks of summer weather before the leaves turn.

Director makes it a ‘joy to sing’: West Carleton memberJessica [email protected]

Community - The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is looking to recruit a number of new voices.

The ensemble, which meets at two locations in Kanata for rehears-als twice a week, features women from all over the west end, includ-ing West Carleton, Kanata and Stittsville, Richmond and Munster, Arnprior, Carleton Place and Al-monte.

“It’s really inspiring to be able to sing with a group of women and work hard to produce something others will enjoy,” said Nancy Hay-ley. “And I just love to sing; singing is wonderful for your spirit, your outlook, for everything.”

Hayley, who hails from Vydon Acres in West Carleton, has been a member of the chorus since it began in 2011.

“Our director, Robert Dueck, has such enthusiasm and skill to teach us how to interpret the music; he makes it a joy to sing,” she said.

The West Ottawa Ladies Cho-rus stemmed from a group of fe-male singers who were recruited by Dueck, who also directs the Goul-bourn Male Chorus. He needed women for a few numbers at the male chorus’s Christmas concert.

The women had such a great time that many expressed an interest in singing together again if the situa-tion arose; thus the West Ottawa La-dies Chorus came to life, growing

from the original 12 members.The ensemble now has about 30

members, said Hayley, but a few have had to bow out.

“We just need some more ladies,” she said. “We’re a really friendly group. We have a lot of fun.”

The chorus will host two holi-day showcases this year, as well as a spring concert event. The women also take part in “sing-outs” at vari-ous places in the community.

Rehearsals take place on Wednes-

days at 1 p.m. at the Stonehaven Manor, 70 Stonehaven Dr. in Kana-ta; and on Sundays at 2 p.m. at the Empress Kanata, 170 McGibbon Dr. Residents often sit and listen to the women practice, said Hayley.

“You don’t have to be an expert or anything like that, just to be able to sing and hold a part,” said Hayley.

The fi rst rehearsal will take place on Sunday, Sept. 28. For more in-formation, contact Dueck at [email protected].

More than 80 Highlanddancers to perform Sunday

Events - The Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dancing Competition will draw more than 80 dancers to Arnprior this Sunday, Aug. 24.

The Arnprior Highland Dancing Association presents 14th annual Caitlin Stewart Memorial Highland Dancing Competition at Robert Simp-son Park.

More than 80 dancers are expected to participate, com-ing from as far as Toronto, Ot-tawa and Quebec areas.

The competition will be held at the scenic park where the Ottawa and Madawaska rivers meet. A stage will be set up next to the bandstand.

“It’s the best location in the Ottawa Valley,” says organizer Renee Stewart. “It certainly has the best Ottawa River view.

The competition is held each year in memory of Stew-art’s daughter, Caitlin, who passed away after a car acci-dent on Nov. 2, 1998.

The competition starts at 8:30 a.m. and runs until 3 or 4 p.m.

“Everyone is invited down to the park for a wonderful day of dancing and listening to bagpipes,” says Stewart.

An enthusiastic crowd will bring out the best performance from the dancers, she noted.

“Bring a lawn chair and sun screen. Admission is free but a donation to Caitlin’s schol-arship would be appreciated. There will be an onsite can-teen, complete with hamburg-ers from M&M Meats,” she adds.

DANCING IN THE PARK

Stewart encourages mem-bers of the public to drop in and check out the dancing and the music.

The dancers will be colour-fully dressed in their kilts and national costumes, she ex-plains. The dancers will be ac-companied by accomplished bagpipers.

Each dancer will be doing four dances and at the end of the day the premier dancers will be performing their own version of the Cake Walk.

“This is so exciting to watch pairs of dancers (that) will have their own interpreta-tion of the dance. The lassies have lots of fun and the crowd likes to start clapping with the dancers,” says Stewart.

The competition could not be held without the communi-ty sponsorship. Ontario Hydro is a long-time supporter.

Stewart expresses heartfelt thanks for all the community supporters. “We also have a wonderful group of volun-teers,” she says.

“These volunteers ensure the competition continues to run successfully every year. Many parents and former Highland dancers keep com-ing back to keep this won-derful competition running in Caitlin’s name. Thanks for keeping my daughter alive in my heart.

“Big hug to Jan and Molly, my co-organizers, for their hours of hard work; you two are the best.

“Come one, come all and sit back to enjoy a wonderful day with the dancers.”

Bereavement Retreat

Community - Some of the best fi ddlers from not only the Ottawa Valley – but from across Canada – will be performing at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior on Tuesday, Aug. 26 as part of Valley Heritage Radio’s 10th annual Fiddle Fest.

The top fi ddlers from coast-to-coast are in the area for the Canadian Grand Masters Cham-pionships in Ottawa, and will be heading to the Pembroke Fiddle and Step Championships later in the week at Fiddle Park.

And in between those two intense competi-tions, they will stop in Arnprior.

“We’re excited to be able to bring these amazing musicians to Arnprior, because we know the people in the Valley love their fi ddle music,” said Valley Heritage Radio station man-ager Jason Marshall.

“And what makes this night different is that it’s not competition fi ddling, so these world-

class fi ddlers are able to showcase their talents in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. For fi ddle fans, there’s nothing better.”

Admission for Fiddle Fest is $12 for Val-ley Heritage radio members, and $15 for non-members.

Tickets are available at Valley Heritage Radio (3009 Burnstown Rd., just outside of Renfrew), Peebles lottery kiosk at the Arnprior Shopping Centre and Nicholson’s store in Pakenham.

As an added bonus, Valley Heritage Radio will host a number of fi ddlers for a more inti-mate live performance at the station Wednesday afternoon (Aug. 27).

The show will air live from 2 to 4 p.m. on 98.7FM, and anyone wishing to attend is in-vited to the station.

There is no charge for this live concert. For more information, contact Valley Heri-

tage Radio at 1-888-532-9870.

Some of the country’s best fi ddlers, including Dennis Harrington, will be playing at Fiddle Fest Aug. 26 at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior.

News – Between 50,000 and 100,000 people are expected this week to help usher in a new era for the Gloucester Fair, now known as the Capital Fair.

The newly rebranded event is about more than simply a name change after 38 years – it has been expanded from four to 10 days, and has been moved to August from May, due to competing events and sometimes poor weather.

With good weather, the Gloucester event drew about 25,000 over the weekend.

“It was a tough date to play,” said Harley Bloom, who has been with the volunteer fair board for the past 35 years. This year, it is taking place from Aug. 15 to 24 at the Rideau Carleton Entertainment Centre on Albion Road.

ORGANIZERS OPTIMISTIC

Organizers are optimistic the sweep-ing changes will translate into success for the event, which is now being billed as a regional fair. Other changes include an expanded midway. World’s Finest Shows will be bringing 30 rides, more than double

what was available at the Gloucester Fair.Among the fair’s offerings are the South-

ern Comfort Smoked to the Bone Barbecue Championship Aug. 23-24 and horse racing on Aug. 22.

The Capital Fair is not to be confused with the more than 100-year-old Central Canada Exhibition, which stopped operat-ing about four years ago. Lansdowne Park was its home for a number of years.

“The Ex was the big show in Ottawa, no question,” said Bloom. “Unfortunately, at this point they’re not able to continue.”

For a complete fair schedule, visit capi-talfair.ca.

perpetuity and the annual interest would

be used to fund the important work at

CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985

the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon

Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in

his Will. Much has happened and changed

at CHEO since his death and in that time

his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

Moving forward 80 percent of the interest

generated from this fund will be invested in

medical equipment, research and hospital

programs at CHEO. The remaining 20

percent will be reinvested to allow the fund

to continue to grow. In 25 years $6.4 million

(80%) will go to the hospital and $1.6 million

(20%) will be reinvested bringing the total

value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years

$15 million (80%) will go to the hospital

and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested

bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4

million. In 100 years $42.2 million (80%) will

go to the hospital and $10.6 million (20%)

will be reinvested bringing the total value

of the fund to $15.2 million.

His legacy lives on and continues to make

a difference in the lives of young patients

at CHEO today, and for future generations.

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary

this year, we look back and honour not

only those in our community who made

our local children’s hospital a reality, but

also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made

children a priority. Why not honour what is

most important to you during your lifetime

by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our

children, youth and families deserve to

always have excellent health care, to benefi t

from lifesaving research and be provided

with the support programs to live happy

and healthy lives now and forever.

If you are interested in fi nding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

[email protected] or (613) 738-3694 cheofoundation.com

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years

The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what

he could have even imagined when he made it over 30 years ago.

IMPRESSIVE LIST OF AMENITIES PLACES THIS SENIOR’S RESIDENCE

ABOVE ALL OTHERSIf you’re looking for an

exceptional senior’s residence that offers living at its finest with an extraordinary list of amenities, you will have found it at Crystal View Lodge http://www.holidaytouch.ca/our-communities/crystal-view-lodge in Ottawa.

Crystal View Lodge – a member of more than 300 Holiday Retirement http://www.holidaytouch.com/about-us/who-is-holiday senior residence communities in the U.S. and Canada – provides seniors with a retirement lifestyle that is designed to meet all the requirements of independent-minded seniors. Crystal View Lodge achieves this impressive goal by providing a number of amenities http://www.holidaytouch.com/senior-living/independent-senior-living/amenities-services that would excite any new resident.

As with other Holiday Retirement locations, Crystal View Lodge offers its seniors independent living in their very own suite. When taking up residency, tenants can choose from a range of different available floor plans and options – plus, there are no buy-in fees or long-term leases. Short-term and month-to-month leases are available, but it’s the amenities and the lifestyle at Crystal View Lodge that truly astounds.

Dining http://www.holidaytouch.com/senior-living/independent-senior-living/dining is fully provided at Crystal View Lodge with three healthy daily meals, prepared by the establishment’s very own chef. Food is an important aspect to daily life at Crystal View

Lodge, and it’s a joy to be able to look forward to chef-prepared cuisine in the dining room from a menu that is varied and delicious. From the entrees to the desserts, everything is carefully planned for the senior-living population. For those residents who require something different, food options are available.

One of the principal focuses of Holiday Retirement residences is providing the means to enjoy a full and rich life. This is achieved by offering seniors a carefully considered plan of activities and events http://www.holidaytouch.com/life-at-holiday/activities-and-events called the seven dimensions of wellness, all of which are designed to improve well-being. The seven dimensions of wellness include a well thought-out plan of activities that are based on aspects of the physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, creative, social and vocational. It’s an inspired assortment of activities designed to embrace a healthy lifestyle.

Many ease-of-living services are available to residents of Crystal View Lodge, including:

equipment

occasions

As well, pets are warmly welcomed (the furry, four-legged kind), there’s scheduled transportation for appointments and errands, plus there’s also an exclusive

travel program.

What set’s Holiday Retirement apart from the rest for senior living are a number of key factors. For one, there’s the open door policy. Residents are welcome to drop by and speak to staff as they wish. Then, there are the three daily chef-prepared meals. Add to that a robust calendar of activities, which includes community involvement. Holiday Retirement residences provide a fun and caring lifestyle. If you’re a resident with Holiday Retirement, someone is always watching out for you – there are even live-in managers who share their lives with the residents they serve so selflessly.

Crystal View Lodge offers a caring, compassionate residence with people who appreciate their independence and individuality as much as their joy of living in a safe and comfortable home with others who are like-minded. Crystal View Lodge is located in Ottawa’s West

Ontario.

You are welcome to see firsthand the new lifestyle that awaits you at Crystal View Lodge. However, don’t delay – if there is one statement that is frequently repeated by new residents it is, “Don’t wait too long, I wish I had moved to Crystal View
