CARP’S CHANGING LANDSCAPEAs of Monday, only a shell and heaps of rubble were left at the former Agri West Co-op buildings site on Rivington Street in Carp. The once busy complex, which closed in 2003, is being demolished this summer after being branded an eyesore and safety hazard. Among the possible uses being touted for the property, which was taken over by the city for non-payment of taxes, are a park-and-ride and a children’s park. Photo by John Carter
Fifteen-year-old West Carleton Second-ary School student Kamil Chadirji-Mar-tinez has just embarked on a journey he says was life-changing before he even had his bags packed.
Martinez is one of about 75 students traveling to the northern reaches of Nun-avik and eastern Baffi n Island, Nunavut as part of Students on Ice, an annual edu-cational Arctic expedition.
Winning the $10,000 scholarship that will fi nance the trip has been a three-year goal for Martinez. He fi rst heard about the program at a presentation at the Mu-seum of Nature, where he volunteers as a greeter. Already interested in the Arctic, he was hooked on the idea.
“I realized this is what I had to do,” says Martinez.
Since then, he has been working to se-cure a spot on a student trip to the Arctic and his efforts have paid off. Working to-wards and realizing this dream has been a big deal.
“It changed me as a person,” says Mar-tinez, who was to meet the other students in Ottawa and fl y north to Kuujuaq. There, the group will board a boat that will be their home from Aug. 4 to 20.
The students will make short trips from the boat to complete their experiments and exploration. Things like animal be-haviour, the environment and culture will be among the topics on which they will focus.
The group, made up of youth ages 14 to 19, will be accompanied by an interna-tional team of staff, consisting of 35 scien-tists, historians, artists, elders, explorers, authors, educators, leaders, innovators and polar experts.
Expedition participants include over 25 northern aboriginal youth, as well as students from China, Monaco, Norway, the United States and every region of Canada.
Just before he set out, Martinez was chomping at the bit to get up there and explore.
He describes the Arctic as “a big inter-est of mine.”
“Since I was little, it’s just been a pas-sion of mine,” he says. “I’d like to even-tually work up there in the future,” says Martinez.
For now, the Grade 11 student is hap-pily living his dream.
Preparation involved an education ses-sion and also assembling the gear, which included lots of Gore Tex, a sturdy back pack and special fl eece-lined rubber boots.
He was looking forward to the journey and relished the idea of visiting an Inuit village and studying local wildlife.
Martinez is not a stranger to travel. With his mother’s family living in Domin-ican Republic and some of his father’s family in Iraq, he has made frequent trips overseas.
Upon his return, Martinez would like to share his experience with others and will offer to make presentations at local schools.
The Grade 11 student lives in Morgan’s Grant with his parents, to whom he is grateful for allowing him to pursue this dream.
Along with his passion for the Arctic, he’s an active teen involved in Taekwon-do, soccer, drawing and casual science reading.
Kamil Chadirji-Martinez says the Aug. 4 to 20 Students on Ice Arctic Expedition is the realization of a dream.

Continued from frontThe small amount of funds
raised will go to towards main-tenance and upkeep of the EAA chapter’s hangar and workshop at the Carp Airport.
However, the breakfast has other major goals. It is intended to encourage public awareness of sport aviation in the Ottawa area and attract new members to the chapter and recreational fl ying.
It is also a meet-and-greet for pilots from the various airports in the surrounding area.
In previous years the breakfast has attracted as many as 350 to 400 people for breakfast and as many as 100 aircraft from local airports all across eastern Ontario and western Quebec.
The EAA is “the organization that enables people to realize their dreams of fl ight.” It is sup-ported by local chapters through-out Canada, the U.S. and around the world.
The chapter hangar is located in front of the First Air hangar on the east side of the airport and can be reached via the Carp Road entrance to the airport opposite the Irish Hills Golf Course. Park-ing is free – just follow the signs.
For more information, call Cur-tis Hillier at 613-831-6352 or Russ Robinson at 613-831-2485.
EAA GROWING
EAA, the Experimental Air-craft Association, is a growing and diverse organization of mem-bers with a wide range of aviation interests and backgrounds.
EAA was founded in 1953 by a group of individuals in Milwau-kee, Wisconsin, who were inter-ested in building their own air-planes. Through the decades, the organization expanded its mis-sion to include antiques, classics, warbirds, aerobatic aircraft, ul-tralights, helicopters and contem-porary manufactured aircraft.
More importantly, the organi-zation focused on people, offering
them the opportunity to make new aviation friends and form relationships while encouraging the shar-ing of information, stories and enthusiasm.
The focus of EAA is communication, through its publications, chapter network, website (www.eaa.org), annual convention and other programs.

A new residential drug treatment facility will open in West Carleton next week.
A 10-bed facility known as Meadow Creek, run by the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, will open its doors to girls on Aug. 12 after a one-month delay.
The delay, according to Dave Smith Centre execu-tive director Glenn Barnes, was partly the result of sifting through hundreds of job applications.
The centre, which runs community-based out-bound services from its Bronson Avenue location in Ottawa, has also had to retrain staff for its resi-dential program.
Meadow Creek was originally owned and oper-ated by the Royal Ottawa Hospital, which housed its men’s residential treatment program in the West Carleton facility. Three years ago the hospital moved the program to its new Carlingwood location.
The building in West Carleton was left vacant for about two years, Barnes said, and had to be re-furbished before the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre could set up programming at the location.
As a result of the opening of the West Carleton facility, the Alwood Treatment Centre in Scotch Corners will become an all-boys facility. It has been amalgamated into the Dave Smith Centre and, as a corporation, will be dissolved by the end of Au-gust.
With boys at the 14-bed Alwood facility and girls housed in Meadow Creek, the number of females seeking treatment is expected to increase.
Barnes said females only account for one-third or one-quarter of clients in most co-ed residential facilities. “It does not represent the gender split in the population,” he said, noting the number of females in treatment increases to a 50/50 split if there is segregation.
Focus groups show that females won’t enter the residential treatment facility in the fi rst place if it is co-ed. Barnes said 16-year-old girls say they have enough on their plate without having to deal with 17-year-old boys “prancing in front of them.”
For girls who might have experienced psycholog-ical or physical abuse in their past, being exposed to that can be traumatizing. “If we take the barrier
away, the usage goes up,” Barnes said.A couple of girls at the Alwood Treatment Centre
talked about quitting the program, Barnes indicat-ed, but were asked to be patient and take a look at the new building. After touring the new facility, he said there were whoops, cries and giggles from the girls, who were convinced to stick it out.
The seven girls currently at the Scotch Corner’s facility will move to Meadow Creek Thursday, Aug. 12 for the day. They’ll have to return to the Alwood Treatment Centre to sleep since there won’t be any overnight staff members available. However, on Aug. 16 they’ll make a fi nal move to West Carleton when a full complement of staff will be on hand.
By the time the new facility opens, the number of residential beds available will jump from 14 to 26.
While the extra beds are a boon for the region, Barnes indicated the centre is fi ghting a losing bat-tle. He said about 350 to 500 adolescents and youth between 13 and 21 years old in Ottawa and area need addiction treatment at a residential facility.
Even with plans to open a new 30-bed facility in
Carp in 2014, the Dave Smith Centre will only be able to help about 120 youths a year, but it’s “16 beds more than we have now,” Barnes said.
Funding is one of the main obstacles to opening new beds, he con-tinued, explaining the Ministry of Health provides operating dol-lars but doesn’t put capital money on the table. That means the Dave Smith Centre has to raise funds to build or refurbish facilities.

The Ottawa Police Service is cautioning West Carleton resi-dents to be on alert as there was a signifi cant increase in the number of break-ins in the area last week.
Included in the 77 general calls for service from the public from July 23 to 29 were break-ins in several West Carleton neigh-bourhoods, as well as thefts from vehicles.
In order to decrease the oppor-tunity for criminals, police urge residents to remember to acti-vate their alarm systems (a loud audible speaker can alert neigh-bors and reduce search times), install jimmy plates and safety bars on patio doors, close and lock all doors and windows, and call police to report suspicious activities or crimes in progress.
If you have any information on any break-ins, call CrimeStop-pers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS), or toll-free at 1-800-222-8477. Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display and calls remain anonymous.
“Remember, you are the eyes and ears in the community. Start communicating with the Neigh-borhood Watch Program in your area and sign up for a free Home Security Inspection (HSI) by call-ing the West Carleton CPC at 613-236-1222 ext. 2982.”
Following are a list of recent break-ins provided by Const. Pe-ter Jeon.
July 29 Woodkilton Road, Kilmaurs: Thieves entered into a house under construction some-time between 6:30 p.m. Wednes-day, July 28 and 7 a.m. Thursday, July 29 and stole a power drill and a radio from the upstairs liv-ing room area. The suspects also
broke into a work trailer located near the house, by cutting a pad-lock, and stole a large number of construction tools.
July 26 Burnt Lands Road, West Carleton: Sometime be-tween 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Mon-day, July 26, thieves broke into a house through a rear second-fl oor sliding door and stole sever-al electronic items including lap-tops, LCD TV, gaming systems, surround sound system, cash, jewelry and fl ashlights. A neigh-bor reported that around noon a small red pickup was observed backing into the complainant’s driveway and then leaving south-bound on Burnt land Road.
July 24 Marshwood Road, West Carleton: Sometime be-tween noon Friday, July 23 and 10 p.m. July 24, thieves forced their way into a newly construct-ed home by prying open the front door and stole electronic items, cash and jewelry. The home, on Marshwood Road near Pan-mure Road, was ransacked as the thieves searched through dresser drawers, jewelry boxes and closets. A neighbor, who was walking along Marshwood Road at around 4:30 p.m., noticed the front door to the house swung wide open. Because of the types of items stolen and the remote-ness, it is evident a vehicle was used to transport the stolen property. Reported stolen were a Sony Bravia 60-inch fl at screen TV, a Toshiba 42-inch fl at screen, a 30-inch Toshiba fl at screen, two Dell laptops, a CPU tower, cash, and jewelry. No alarm system was installed in the home at the time of the break-in.

Kanata West Environmental Assessment Notices of Completion
Carp River, Poole Creek and Feedmill Creek Restoration Revisions and Addenda to Environmental Screening Report
Revised Environmental Screening ReportReport and Addenda Now Available for ReviewIn June of 2006 the Carp River, Poole Creek and Feedmill Creek Restoration Environmental Screening Report was completed in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule B Project as defi ned in the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Process (2000). The Minister of the Environment received Part II Order requests for the project asking that the project be subject to an individual environmental assessment.
Due to concerns raised in regard to the accuracy of the models used by the City, a Third Party Review of the models supporting the projects was undertaken. As part of Conditions 1 and 2 of the Minister’s Order made in response to the Part II Order requests, updated documentation has been provided including the results of the Third Party Review, updated water level information, fl ow modelling data, a water level and fl ow monitoring plan, a detailed Implementation Plan related to phasing and stormwater management. Following the completion of the Third Party Review and the other matter required to address the Minister’s Order, the Environmental Assessment was required to be updated and this Notice was required to be issued. In addition to the updates required as a result of the Third Party Review, the Carp River Restoration Project has been updated to incorporate current conditions and direction received from City Staff and Council including a permanent widening of the Carp River corridor. An Addendum to the Carp River EA Screening Report with these updates has now been completed and has been issued for public review along with the following supporting Documentation:
• Carp River Restoration EA 2006• Third Party Review, March 2009• Kanata West Implementation Plan, July 2010• Updated Public Consultation Report, July 2010• Carp River Restoration Plan – Widening Alternatives Final Report by Greenland International Consulting Ltd., May 2010
The proposed restoration of Carp River involves full restoration within the Kanata West reach of the river including: a change to the channel as well as the following design elements: increased sinuosity; reduction in channel cross-section; creation of ponds and deltas; “nested” channels; varied substrate; riparian vegetation planting; and multi-use pathways as part of larger local and regional pathway systems.
The proposed restoration of Poole Creek involves four areas of the creek that require local improvements including channel realignment, removal of an island and narrowing of the channel, removal of debris and an old bridge, valley wall treatment, creation of a delta marsh and riparian plantings.
The proposed restoration of Feedmill Creek involves four areas of the creek that require local improvements including channel realignment,
increased sinuosity, aquatic connections to the Carp River, local bank treatment and riparian plantings.

Break-ins investigatedContinued from Page 5
July 23 Dwyer Hill Road, West Carleton: A sal-vage yard warehouse near Dwyer Hill and Galetta Side roads was broken into sometime after 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 22 and before it was discovered at 6:30 a.m. Friday. The thieves entered into the ware-house through an unlocked window and stole three bottles of liquor and a green metallic change box containing money, cheques, keys and vehicle reg-istrations. Police canvassed the neighborhood, but nothing suspicious was reported.
July 23 Spruce Ridge Road, West Carleton: At 11:19 a.m. Friday, a complainant was notifi ed by her alarm monitoring company that an activation sig-nal from the patio door contact was received. When the security guard and the complainant searched the house, they discovered that the sliding patio door had been opened about fi ve inches and an HP laptop was stolen. On investigation, police noted the alarm system was installed with a loud audible horn, which greatly reduced the amount of time the unidentifi ed suspect spent inside of the house, and the patio door was pried open with a screw-driver-like tool near the locking mechanism.
July 12 - Riddell Drive, South March: Thieves entered into the house through an open rear screened window and exited through a locked rear bedroom door. Reported stolen were numerous watches and jewelry, change and IBM T42 laptop.
July 12 - March Road, South March: Thieves broke into a home through an upper level window and stole a 42” Sharp Aquos LCD TV, a Toshiba Laptop, and about $30 in loose change. The culprits’ initial attempts to break into the house were foiled by a security stop arm on a rear patio door. The cul-prits then moved to a side window where a large screwdriver-like tool broke the window lock.

OPINIONEDITORIAL
Alcohol, driving don’t mix well at any age
COLUMN
Lady and the Tramp relived
Swampfestin Kinburn
COMMUNITY
It is offi cial: anyone aged 21 and under can’t have any alcohol in their system when getting behind the wheel.
Previously, anyone who held a full G licence could have a blood alcohol level of up to 0.05 per cent. As of Aug. 1, that number now only applies to drivers 22 and up.
Young drivers who are caught with any alcohol in their system face an immediate 24-hour suspen-sion of their licence which could last up to 30 days and up to $500 in fi nes.
Kathryn Windsor of the Renfrew County Moth-ers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) branch said young people in the area have problems with alco-hol because of the small town feel and the proxim-ity to Quebec.
Youths consuming alcohol have been the cause of “a percentage of the accidents happening in this area,” said Windsor.
According to the Ontario Ministry of Transpor-tation, the peak ages of drinking and driving are 19 to 21. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Mani-toba already have similar regulations in place.
Some may argue that this new law is an example of ageism.
Many young drivers are responsible and would be able to handle having a glass of wine and hit-ting the road responsibly later on.
However, there are many who can’t. And that doesn’t just go for young drivers. Everyone han-dles their alcohol differently, depending on gender, weight/size, metabolism, etc.
Over the years, countless police reports have come across the news desk about impaired driv-ing. People of all ages, from teens to seniors, have been caught drinking and driving in Renfrew County. What about the over-21 population who can’t seem to handle their alcohol?
Drinking and driving does not seem to be going away anytime fast. It remains a reality, often end-ing up in tragedy. Perhaps limiting youths behind the wheel is just the beginning. It may not be a bad idea to start at the 16 to 21 demographic and work up from there.
Alcohol and driving has never been a good mix.
The 180th anniversary of the Village of Kinburn will be cel-ebrated Aug. 27-29 at the Kinburn Community Centre. A historical weekend of music, fun, family and food will be presented by the Kinburn Community Associa-tion and the Fitzroy Township Historical Society. Swampfest kicks off Aug. 27 with a family corn roast and bonfi re, barbecue and music from 6 p.m. to mid-night. On Aug. 28, the festivities run from noon to midnight with more music, historical dem-onstrations, children’s games, and a Settler’s supper at 6 p.m. Entertainers include Gail Gavan, Huntley Slim & the Suburban Cowboys, Howard Hayes, Triple Play, Darlene Thibault, Cyndy Thompson, Running Naked and the Sarah Burnell Band. On Sunday, there will be a fi remen’s breakfast 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
It was 5:30 in the morning and my dog was barking.
There are two problems here. Num-ber one: it’s Sunday. And number two: Cody doesn’t even bark when people come up the laneway anymore. It’s like he’s on work-to-rule or something.
So when I heard this barking, I knew some-thing was up. I put on a robe and pressed my face up against the win-dow screen to see down the driveway. Nothing. But the dog kept bark-ing. I grumbled, looked at the Farmer (who was sleeping on his good ear and hearing nothing), and trudged downstairs.
Throwing open the front door, I snapped at Cody, “Shut it! It’s too early! What are you barking at?!”
Just then, out of the corner of my
eye, I saw a tail. A very special tail. It wasn’t a fl uffy barn cat or farm dog tail. It wasn’t a skunk or squirrel or raccoon tail. It was a thin, black
tail, curled up like a fi ddlehead. And it was coming from something behind the cedar tree.
I took a step closer. Out from behind the
tree bounded a big, black afghan hound. She pranced, danced, sprung and leapt across the gar-den as Cody bellowed. Then she stopped, sat down in the middle of the driveway about 50 yards beyond the end of his chain, and stared at him while he barked in frustration.
For about two min-utes she watched as I tried to quiet him.
Then, bored of the game, she got up and left.
“Well. Wasn’t she somethin’!” I asked Cody. He seemed to agree, whimpering and retreating into his cave under the porch.
The next day, when the prancing pooch returned to terrorize my mutt, I met the owner, our new neighbour.
“I’m sorry – we lived in Manotick for years and never once did my dogs escape,” Julie explained. “But now, the minute I open the door, she’s off like a shot. She just can’t stay away. I don’t know what she sees in him,” she said, looking at my dog.
“And now she is in heat!”The woman was obviously dis-
tressed. Has she never seen “Lady and the Tramp,” I wondered?
“Well, don’t worry – he’s fi xed,” I said, motioning toward my dusty, tangled, slightly overweight Gordon setter. My neighbour breathed an audible sigh of relief.

From Page 8He shivered and shook and tried to stifl e a whimper, but
it got out anyway. Ember, as she is called, comes by her grace honestly. She
is a very well-trained, champion show dog. She regularly takes part in regional, national and international dog shows where she meets every breed of well-groomed, well-bred, distinguished and dignifi ed dogs. But she wants Cody.
He looks a bit like her, with his long black hair. She thinks he is the perfect mate. She appreciates his roughness.
She wants to run and play and chase sheep with him. She wants to curl up with him in the dustbowl under the porch. She wants to have little half-breed babies with him.
But, alas, it is not meant to be. And if she keeps running through the bushes between our two farmhouses, she will get burrs in her long hair. And so she was put on a clothesline run, just like Cody.
Last night Cody and I went for a walk. We headed down the road, past Ember’s house. He spotted her and she spotted him. She started barking. And jumping up and down. Acting not very show dog-like at all.
I hurried Cody past the house. He seemed embar-
rassed by her display of emotion and gladly followed me away from the scene.
Julie came out of the house and we had a chat. She man-aged to get the dog to calm down.
As I turned to leave, we heard a heavy sigh. Ember was lying fl at out, with her face in the grass. “Is that the front end?” I asked. All I could see was long black hair. Even her nose was covered. I have never seen a dog do that before.
“Oh. She’s upset,” Julie said. Just then Ember lifted her head and looked at us, as if to say, “I cannot believe that you won’t let me free to come and see him. Don’t I look very, very sad right now?”
What a drama queen she is.Something tells me we haven’t seen the last of Miss Em-
ber at the Fisher Farm. Even if Cody is fi xed.

It amuses me when someone goes for a walk in the woods and reports that there weren’t any animals.
What they meant was they saw no large animals, for if they had looked properly they would have seen A, pos-sibly thousands of creatures and their signs.
All one has to do is look at leaves to see abundant evi-dence of living things. Large holes reveal the work of caterpillars, which might be found resting on the shady underside of the leaf. Some caterpillars are specifi c to only one type of plant but most eat a wide variety.
More obvious are leaves that have been completely eaten to their main vein. If you have a Mountain Ash you likely met Mountain Ash Sawfl y larvae, caterpillar-like crea-tures that are yellow with black spots.
Sawfl ies are wasp relatives and their larvae have more than fi ve pairs of prolegs, those suction pads located under the middle of the body (true caterpillars bear fi ve at most). When numerous, Saw-fl y larvae can defoliate entire trees.
Other strippers eat only the leaf ’s surface material and are called skeleton-izers. Some skeletonizers start off as miners, chewing narrow paths in the
leaves. Other caterpillars remain miners their entire caterpillar lives, creating dis-tinctive patterns as they dine.
Maple Leafblotch Miners create large blotches on - you guessed it - maple leaves.
If you hold a blotched leaf to the sky, you might see inside the blotch the tiny caterpillar along with all its droppings.
My favourite is the Poplar Serpentine Miner, which carves beautiful meandering patterns in poplar leaves. Other types of Miners create similar patterns in the leaves of Columbines and Asters.
Some signs of activity are easily overlooked, but once identifi ed they are found to be extremely common. These are leaves that have been
rolled into tubes or tied together with silk. Leaf Rollers, Leaf Tiers, and Leaf Folders are caterpillars named after the way they deal with leaves.
Tiers differ from Folders in that Fold-ers fold a leaf neatly in half so that the outer edges meet while Tiers bind sec-tions of leaves or attach several leaves together.
All of these caterpillars live and feed inside their structures. If you unroll a folded-up leaf you often fi nd its tiny ar-
chitect inside. However, instead of a caterpillar sometimes some-one else is at home.
Sac Spiders also fold leaves to create chambers in which they guard their eggs and babies. Regardless of maker, it amazes me that such tiny animals are behind these great architectural feats.
The list of animals living on leaves contains beetles and mites. An excellent book for identifying leaf eaters is Insects of Eastern Hardwood Trees (by Rose and Lindquist), published by Natural Resources Canada.
One need not travel far to encounter these remarkable animals that live on leaves. When one’s eyes are opened to their signs, one soon sees that there are worlds within worlds, life without limit.
The boat was tipping, the water rising up to meet us.
As the Albacore continued its de-scent toward the waves, I ducked under the boom and landed in the river with a splash.
The sail came down, fi lling with water as the boat continued to overturn. I swam to the back, grabbed the centreboard and hauled my weight up onto the slippery piece of wood.
With help from my skipper, Mike Thompson, we managed to right the sail-boat after a considerable length of time and hop back in.
This was all part of a training exercise offered by the Kanata Sailing Club (KSC) during their open house on Saturday, July 24.
KSC has been operating for 35 years on the Ottawa River in Dunrobin. The club is a non-profi t cooperative, which promotes low-cost sailing for both experienced and new sailors.
ALBACORE ADVENTURE
Thompson took me out in an Albacore, a two-person dinghy used for teaching, leisure and racing.
The Albacore is a 4.57-metre fi berglass sailboat.
Teaching is very important, said Thompson, so in the event that some-thing goes wrong, such as capsizing, sail-ors know what to do without panicking.
In the Albacore, my job was at the front of the boat.
I had to keep the lines of the jib (the little sail in front of the big sail) taut or slack depending on the wind direction and speed.
The rope was diffi cult to keep from slip-ping through my hands, and I found my knuckles white from the strain of keep-ing hold.
Thompson had to keep reminding me to hold on tighter as I consistently let the rope relax.
Next time I’ll bring gloves to help give me better grip.
My attention, however, was focused
mainly on the boom, the large beam run-ning down the centre of the boat that holds the mainsail.
It looks a lot heavier than it is; it’s actu-ally fairly light, being hollow and made of aluminum.
As the wind shifts direction, the boom is apt to swing around with little warn-ing, said Thompson. Even though it’s light, the boom can deliver quite a good rap to the head of an inattentive sailor.
It becomes second nature to keep your head down and body low, said Thompson; your body will react involuntarily to keep from getting hit.
And it was true. As nervous as I was about the boom
in the beginning, by the end I paid it no mind and managed to exit the boat with-out being smacked once.
BALANCED BOAT
I learned how to tack – to switch sides while changing the course of the dinghy.
Thompson called out “Ready to tack?” I replied with a “Ready!” after posi-
tioning myself in such a way that I could spring to the opposite side while avoiding the boom as it swung overhead.
As he gave the command, I hopped over the middle of the boat, while simultane-ously ducking and executing a half spin to avoid the boom and get ready to grab the opposite jib line.
Everything in the boat is opposite, much like our brains; the left side rope controls to the right and vice versa.
I had to release the jib sail rope I was holding and take up the line from the side across from me in order to catch the wind the direct the boat.
Every time I did this – and it was quite a few, Thompson really made me prac-tice – I managed to tangle the rope in my legs.
The entire experience was a real exer-cise in hand-eye-body coordination – of which I have very little sometimes.
Thompson also taught me how to keep the boat balanced as it pitches and leans.
As the Albacore picks up speed, the boat leans into the water at around a 45 degree angle.
When this happened, Thompson and
I had to balance ourselves on the edge of the side of the boat furthest from the water, hook our feet under a strap by the fl oorboard and lean our bodies out over the river as far as we could go.
I leaned down towards the water, hop-ing my feet wouldn’t slip out of the strap, trying to keep a tight hold on the line for the jib sail, and feeling my abdominal muscles working overtime. It’s a better workout than crunches, one I felt the next day.
This maneuver keeps the boat from ac-tually capsizing.
Although we almost got to experience an uncontrolled capsize as winds from every direction buffeted the Albacore at one point. We managed to keep it upright though.
COOL HANG-OUT
The KSC is “like your grandfather’s cottage that he’s left to all of his kids,” said Thompson.
Everyone pitches in with membership fees and helps to maintain the equipment and the grounds, he said.
Located on the Ottawa River at the intersection of Riddell Drive and Sixth Line Road, the KSC sits on a prime piece of property.
It’s more of a cottage getaway than a yacht club, but that’s part of its charm, said Thompson.
A person doesn’t need to own a boat in order to join; the club has a number of vessels available including: nine Al-bacores; six Hobies, which are two-per-son, high-performance catamarans; six Lasers, which are one-person leisure and racing mono-hulls; two Bytes, which are one-person, small leisure and racing crafts; and one Tasar, a two-person, high-performance leisure and racing mono-hull.
In order to use the club boats, members must complete basic training. For experi-enced sailors new to the club a one time evaluation session is required.
Basic training for new sailors costs $300 for an eight-week course.
Membership fees run from $75 to $410 depending on the type required.

First bass, now catfi sh.Following up on the success of its bass derby
July 24, the West Carleton Legion (Constance Bay) Fish and Game Club is holding a catfi sh derby this Saturday, Aug. 7.
While the bass derby was restricted to members, the catfi sh derby is open to all. The club is holding registrations this week, including a sign-up today (Thursday) from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Legion. A catfi sh dinner will follow the derby at the Legion.
In the bass derby, Ryan McQueen and Whitney MacRae of Constance Bay pulled in the biggest fi sh, a 4.23-lber. In the true fi shing tradition, they refused to divulge where they caught their winning fi sh.
George and Carolle Lessard had the greatest total weight, with six fi sh weighing 12.84-lb. Jordan Good-fellow and Claude Levebvre were second at 10.46 and Gord Johnson was third at 10.44.
Prizes were given out at a celebration hosted by Rick and Nancy Atchison of Constance Bay. The Atchisons also ran the weigh-in station for the der-by at their bayside home.
About 30 anglers took part in the derby, which was the 10th annual for the club.
West Carleton Minor Hockey is the big winner at the Jon Bru-nette Memorial Golf Tourna-ment.
The eighth annual tourna-ment, in memory of former West Carleton Minor Hockey player, Ottawa Titan and Arnprior Ju-nior Packer Jon Brunette, will be played this Saturday, Aug. 7 at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club in Carp.
All proceeds go to the Jon Brunette Memorial Fund to ben-efi t West Carleton Minor Hockey, through paying the registration of a local player on the Titans and funding a season-ending fun day for the Initiation players.
Brunette was a well-known player in the West Carleton and Arnprior areas before being killed in a snowmobile crash in 2003.
The tournament is also being held in memory of Malcolm Bru-nette, Jon’s father who died in 2007.
Tee-time Saturday is 1 p.m. The cost to enter is $340 per team ($85 per person) for 18 holes, green fees and golf cart, and a three-course chicken supreme dinner.
For more information, contact Val brunette at 613-832-1346 or by e-mail at [email protected].

#3759 MosesMoses, a fi ve-year-old neutered male, will make
a wonderful companion. He was abandoned in the country and thankfully someone found him and brought him to the shelter. He was in terrible shape - very thin and badly matted - but he is now healthyand ready to fi nd a good home. Moses is a very friendly cat. He likes attention but isn’t demanding. Moses is a large cat with an easygoing personality. He is quiet, gentle and good with other cats.
3739 LionelThere’s never a boring moment with Lionel around. He is a two-year-old neutered male who was given up by his owner who was no longer able to care for him. Lionel is an active, energetic cat who he is very curious and likes to explore and play. He is sure to keep his new owners on their toes. He is friendly and gets affectionate when he is all tired out. He is good with other cats and dogs.
Supplies the shelter needs; Whiskas Meaty selections dry cat food, paper towels, bleach and canned cat food.

West Carleton/March Council Notes
With the warm summer weather upon us, we are now having to contend with some unexpected guests in our green bins – maggots!
Even though maggots are the norm when it comes to the decomposition of garbage, many residents are shocked when they open their green bin to dis-cover these unsightly creatures.
To minimize the appearance of mag-gots (as well as fl ies and foul odours), here are some handy tips that you may want to try:� rinse your bin with your garden
hose periodically to help keep it clean, especially if you don’t line your bin with paper;� periodically rinse the green bin us-
ing a mild detergent or white vinegar/water solution;� sprinkle a small amount of pow-
dered garden lime, baking soda or pow-ered laundry detergent (no bleach) in the green bin;� put salt or vinegar on maggots to
kill them;� wrap wet food waste (e.g. meat, fi sh,
fruit and vegetable waste) in old news-paper or used paper towel;� use the special food waste bag or
other paper bags (e.g. grocery, popcorn, sugar, fl our or potato) to hold your mate-
rial;� put meat and
fi sh waste into a paper bag and then in your freezer until collec-tion day;� alternate layers
of food waste with lay-ers of dry waste (e.g. leaves, dead plants, sawdust, wood shavings).
SPEEDING COMPLAINTS
I frequently hear from residents with complaints about motorists speeding along our roads. As much as I’d like to be able to get drivers to slow down, this is actually a matter for the Ottawa Po-lice to deal with directly.
If you witness speeding, you should contact the Ottawa Police at 613-236-1222, x7300 to make a formal complaint, and I encourage you to have your neighbours do the same. (The more complaints re-ceived the better!).
As always, please contact me at any time: Eli El-Chantiry, proudly serving West Carleton-March, Ward 5, 5670 Carp Rd., Kinburn, Ont. K0A 2H0, www.Ward5Eli.com, phone 613-580-2475, fax 613-580-2515, email [email protected].

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Spend a weekend in Almonte at the Puppets Up! Interna-tional Festival and you’ll feel like you’ve been around the world in two days.
For the sixth year running, Puppets Up! will welcome puppet troupes from around the globe and they, in turn, will deliver 54 world-class puppet shows in tented or storefront theatres in downtown Almon-te. Puppets Up! runs Aug. 7 and 8. The fes-tival venue is open between 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. each day.
Downtown Almonte’s main thorough-fare, Mill Street, will also offer tons of free family-friendly street entertainment provided by clowns, balcony puppets, musicians, face painters and street en-tertainers. Children of all ages can also learn how to make their own puppets at the kid’s craft tent.
Once a day, puppets of every shape and size, along with musicians, celebrity parade marshals and street entertain-ers, come together on Mill Street for the famous Puppets Up! parade. The parade starts each day at 1:45 p.m. and ends at 2:15 p.m.
On Saturday evening, in the Almonte Old Town Hall, Puppets Up! offers an adults only cabaret performance — Pup-pets…Unstrung! The talents of all of the visiting troupes. This year, the cabaret
will include an auction of puppets made by some of Canada’s best-known puppe-teers.
Almonte and its businesses are also ready to deliver lunches, snacks, cold drinks and a shady spot to sit and enjoy a spectacular view of the Mississippi River and its thundering waterfalls.
For a snapshot of what to see and do at Puppets Up! check out The Guide to the Puppets Up! Festival, posted on the web site at www.puppetsup.ca.. The full fes-tival schedule is posted there too, along with a map. The guide includes recom-mendations about performances based on children’s ages. All venues and the festi-val shuttle bus are wheelchair accessible.
Lots of signage will lead visitors to both the festival and ample free parking. For detailed driving instructions to the festival, maps and parking (including handicapped), see the directions page on the website.
Puppets Up! is presented by the BMO Financial Group and BMO Nesbitt Burns. The festival is endorsed by the Canadian Commission for UNESCO and is strongly supported by a growing list of local busi-nesses, media and individuals.

CTV commu-nity ambassador Max Keeping tries out his Mini Max 2 pup-pet at a com-munity picnic July 29. The original Mini Max puppet was lost in the CTV fi re earlier this year, and was replaced by Noreen Young, one of the driving forces behind Puppets Up!
MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Max Keeping will no longer be puppet-less after the re-cent loss of his celebrity look-alike friend, Mini Max the puppet.
Keeping, CTV community ambassador and well-known face in the region, was honoured to receive his Mini Max 2 pup-pet on July 29 during a community picnic, after his original puppet was lost in the CTV fi re earlier this year.
“Noreen, you are very gracious,” Keeping said to puppet creator Noreen Young, one of the driving forces behind the Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival.
Young said she was quite distressed to
hear about the loss of “mini Max,” which was given to Keeping as a token of the large amount of support he has shown the community over the years.
The puppeteer said the last celebrity look-alike puppet that needed replacing was Wayne Rostad’s, which was on dis-play at the Iron Works and was stolen.
As Keeping accepted his puppet, with an updated hairstyle to boot, he said Almonte has always stuck out in his mind as a com-munity that celebrates its diverse culture.
“I admire the people who live in this community,” he said. “I salute you.”
The park was fi lled with music and arts, families, food, puppets, belly dancers and more during the picnic, which was a lead-up to the Puppets Up festival, taking place in downtown Almonte Aug. 7 and 8.
Family picnic helps celebrate new beginnings for Max Keeping’s puppet

Ottawa mayoral candidate Jim Watson is half-way through a series of visits to some of the city’s rural communities, and he says he’s already heard from many frustrated voters.
After an earlier stop in Cumberland, Watson met residents in Greely on July 28. He’ll be at the Kin-burn Community Centre Wednesday, Aug. 11 and North Gower on Aug. 26. All are 7 p.m. meetings.
Jim Watson promises to listen to rural votersMore than 40 people heard him speak at the Greely
Community Centre, and about half stepped up to the mi-crophone to ask questions. Watson said he was aiming for “dialogue, not monologue.”
“I don’t have all the answers,” Watson told the crowd. “But I’m open to ideas and that’s why I’m holding these meetings.
“The comments I hear from people after I speak is that they appreciate that I’m here listening. That’s one of the issues: where has Larry O’Brien been? He’s had no meeting
on rural issues in four years.”Watson said that, if elected on Oct. 25, they will see him
back in the community.“I’m not pretending to have deep rural roots,” Watson
said, although he did grow up in a small town and his father was a farmer. “It’s important to keep this dialogue going after the election. If I’m fortunate enough to be elected, this isn’t the last you’ll see of me.”
Watson said he’s found that rural Ottawa residents have expressed the greatest dissatisfaction with amalgamation.
Mayoral candidate Jim Watson will discuss issues at a meeting at the Kinburn Community Centre Aug. 11.
