    KINBURN Eli El-Chantiry walked from his office across the hallway at the Kinburn Cli-ent Service Centre on June 2 to plunk his $100 registration fee on the table.

    The incumbent will seek a third term to represent Ward 5, West Carleton-March at Ottawa city council.

    To date, there is one other candidate in the race. Alexander Aronec, 21, is a political science student who has been knock-ing on doors in the ward and writing on local issues in the West Carleton Review since the beginning of 2010.

    El-Chantirys timing was not particularly strategic.

    His assistant, Lisa McGee, celebrated her birthday last Wednesday.

    El-Chantiry promised to let her know by that date if he planned to fight to retain her job for the next four years.

    I have been honoured and privileged to serve West Car-leton these years, El-Chantiry said, then spoke of two issues he wants to pursue if elected on

    Oct. 25.We need to preserve the CN

    rail line. This is connecting the com-

    munity together, he said, add-ing that a freight line from Ren-frew and the Pontiac will create jobs.

    He currently represents Mayor Larry OBrien in talks on saving the line; meeting with influential local politicians such as Conservative MP John Baird and Liberal MPP Bob Chiarelli.

    Roads is the other one. We can never say enough about roads. Thats where we get the most emails, he said.

    El-Chantiry said there is a danger of running out of labour and time (Aug. 10) to spend the money matched by the federal governments stimulus package.

    Keepin it rural with Huntley SlimThe bluegrass singer-songwriter discusses music, national identity

    and defending the rural way of life DEREK DUNN

    [email protected]

    CARP If youve picked up a Hunt-ley Slim and the Suburban Cowboys CD or heard them live in Kinburn or even at Zaphod Beeblebrox, one thing would have come clear right away: yep, they are from Huntley.

    Well, half the band is. Chris Mellor plays guitar and sings

    vocals for the alt-country band. His partner, Seamus Mulready on banjo and vocals, is the suburban side, hail-ing from Kanata.

    Mellor sat down recently with the West Carleton Review at his day job locale, The Swan at Carp. He spoke knowledgably about the history of bluegrass, country and numerous other musical strains. He talked a bit of politics and about Canadas tor-tured identity. But it was his love of growing up rural that shone through with the most conviction.

    I grew up in the country, Mellor said. Its getting harder and harder to get away from the suburbs. They just keep coming on. It makes me weep when you hear of another farm coming down.

    The theme is sprinkled throughout the bands first album, Songs from the Chicken Coop. (It was recorded in an actual chicken coop in Carp.) Take Suburban Blues, for example: Ive got this feelin down in the boots/every neighbour Ive got their cahoots/Im a long way from home, Ive got nowhere to be/Theres something about this cookie cutter architecture/So many answers, nobody needs a lecture about the place where they grew up.

    He then talks about the subdivided hell with a sense of worth for those who need it least. Its the kind of passion in keeping with man in his mid twenties. But there is no incon-gruity between frustrated lyrics and the kind of rockabilly music behind them. Mellor explains that Huntley

    Slims unique blend of traditional music with restructured lyrics and song structures borrows from the hills of Appalachia as much as it does the gritty city streets of today. Drawing inspiration from any num-ber of styles, Huntley Slim is primar-ily influenced by bluegrass, old time, punk rock and alt-country. In other words, his music incorporated the rebelliousness of rocknroll before rock came to be.

    Old time and bluegrass was the answer to rocknroll in the 30s and 40s. It was hipper, ahead of its time, a lot of speed, he said. We are doing something different, but that means some people dont always get what we are trying to do.

    With a raw, natural sound, Huntley Slim is looking to push the musical boundaries of traditional music fans as well as introduce a new sound to alternative audiences.

    Although he wasnt brought up in a particularly musical family, Mellors grandfather shared a love of old folk music, train songs and military songs.

    He said the guitar first came to him out of sheer boredom, the bane of every country kids existence. Soli-tude and loneliness are fodder for the creative soul.

    I spent a lot of time alone growing up. Its just one of those things, he said. It took me a long time to write my own music. I thought it was more complicated than it was. But its all about being 100 per cent honest. Like Hank Williams. He could read the phone book and make you cry.

    He talked about other differences between growing up rural versus sub-urban. Many of Mulreadys friends, he noted, are still around the same vicinity. But country kids often have to move far away from friends and family to get a start in their chosen vocation. Then there is the limited number of friends to chose from; it increases tolerance, but maybe he wouldnt have been friends with some people he did grow up with.

    Mellor cautions that his music isnt drenched in deep meaning.

    Im not sure we are activists or anything like that. Music is a venue for what you have to say, for sure, he said.

    However, he shares interesting ideas on the distinction between Can-ada and the U.S., saying open spaces and Canadas geography has always had a profound effect on the culture, whether it be literature, art, film or music.

    We tend not to take ourselves too seriously, or box ourselves in. Its all about space in Canada, he said. In the U.S. there is a lot more people and a lot less space.

    Huntley Slim and the Suburban Cowboys play Zaphod Beeblebrox in Ottawa on Thursday, June 17. The show starts at 8 p.m. They play The Branch Restaurant in Kemptville June 26, same time. See huntleyslim.com for more dates.

    Be careful! PleaseIf this were a newspaper that wrote editorials

    on the regular basis about how our readers should keep themselves safe, we would understand the force behind the argument would lose emphasis. Crying wolf is a lesson many of us learned long ago.

    However, we maintain there are times when read-ers need to be reminded to care - especially on the roads.

    This is one of those times.Between May 20 and May 28, during a mere eight-

    day period, our area was devastated by three major car accidents.

    A young woman, 18-year-old Katrina Kay Lyman died after her car hit a pickup truck. (Police now suspect she was texting.) On May 26, a 19-year-old woman, Delaney Tolle, was seriously injured after her car hit a dump truck. And on May 28, a 45-year-old man was killed after colliding with another car. The other driver, too, sustained serious injuries.

    It can happen to anyone at any time. The one com-mon characteristic? Drivers were not being as safe as they could have been.

    Graduation season is coming. Summer Sunday drives and lugging the boat or camper to that favou-rite get-away spot are coming. If you know of a par-ticularly dangerous turn or intersection near you, we welcome a letter to the editor letting everyone in the community know about it.

    Someone who nags others about safety tends to blow credibility, true. But sometimes circumstances reach a point. Unfortunately, now is one of those times.

    LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

    To the editor:

    In his commentary on our food system, Jim MacKenzie touched on many of the key issues. However, many of the conclusions are open to question.

    I would agree that many of us eat too much, but cheap food is hardly the reason.

    Many of us fail to make proper food choices, and adhere to a bal-anced diet, which causes us to load up on empty calories and is partially the cause for the rise in obesity, lack of exercise is also high on the list.

    One might wonder if there is a con-nection with the fact that there are fewer rurals growing there own food, as MacKenzie points out, and high obesity rates. Stats Canada pointed out not long ago that Renfrew County had some of the highest obesity rates in the province, with the rural areas being the highest overall.

    He is quite right that many of us dont eat enough fruit and vegetables but the causes vary. For some its easier to serve prepared food, for others its a cost issue. Junk food is cheaper than buying fruit. While he argues for higher prices to be paid to the farmer he also states that low income people cant buy sufficient food. Of course these two things are in direct conflict.

    Low income people simply cant afford to buy fruits and vegetables on a regular basis. Studies have shown that low income people have a higher obesity rate, which implies diet and can be traced back to cost. If you are on a strict budget, buying locally at a farmers market is not the way to go, as prices are invariably cheaper at the super market, but still prohibitive for many.

    We live however in a global food market, and with lower labour costs in other countries we will never be com-petitive in certain products. Raising local food prices will just never happen. What has happened is the consumer has become more aware of what they are buying thanks to labeling. We can make sound choices as to what we choose. Raw products such as fruits, vegetables, fish and meat must iden-tify their country of origin.

    The same is true for canned goods. The consumer is then free to choose with this knowledge in hand. As a personal preference I will not buy products from China, or American meat products. There has also been a tremendous rise in organic food products with people deciding that they would like their food to be chem-ical and pesticide free as much as possible. Both organic food products and farmers markets carry a higher sticker cost, but people have made a

    conscious decision to pay more. In fact consumers are adapting

    and are more aware, as never before, to a changing food market.

    While most of your food choic-es are out of your individual control, there are other things you can do besides buying locally reading labels and buying organic. Instead of buying prepared meats, buy larger hams, turkeys, chicken, beef roasts, and pork roasts with the leftovers becoming lunch meat.

    This is one example of control-ling your food supply. This of course does not solve the problem for those that cant afford these things, and I agree we must do more. By the way both the public and separate school boards have had a breakfast program in their schools for years in order to assist those less fortunate

    In the end it all comes down to education. We need to know where are food comes from. We need to know what constitutes a proper diet. Perhaps most importantly we need to know how to cook, or perhaps get back to cooking, instead of relying on prepared foods from the super-market or fast food delivery.

    To the editor:

    Remember, it is law in Ontario to have working alarms on each storey and outside all sleeping areas in your cottage, as it is in your home.

    Please also check your local laws regarding car-bon monoxide alarms and your residence.

    Fire chiefs across cot-tage country want you to have Peace of Mind At Your Piece of Heaven.

    Heed these tips: Change all smoke

    alarm batteries at least once per year;

    Replace all smoke alarms over 10 years old;

    If your cottage has a fireplace, or gas or propane

    appliances, install at least one CO detector;

    The vast array of foods found on supermarket shelves would, at first glance, seem to be a great thing. In some ways it is, but it also means that there are many, many ways for us to make selections which are not so good for our health. When I returned from Africa some years ago I made a comparison of my food intake there and what I was eat-ing in Canada. I had far fewer foods to choose from in Africa, but my diet was much healthier. Back in Canada, I had to make an extra effort to choose foods

    which would give me a diet as healthy as the one I consumed automatically in Africa.

    Finally, the foods that we eat today are sometimes very different from products of the same name from years ago. When I was growing up we regularly ate beef produced on my fathers farm. This was not the same as the beef that comes from the large feedlots of today. Many family farmers have recognized this and are now catering to consumers who want to avoid the feedlot-produced product. In our own community, Fitzroy Beef Pro-ducers is an excellent example. Further-

    more, virtually all of the food Canadians ate prior to WWII was raised organically now there has been a resurgence in the demand for organic food, primarily because many consumers believe that it is healthier.

    All of this information is readily avail-able to the public and is well-document-ed. A few hours spent on the Internet or in one of Ottawas libraries can provide a mountain of studies and reports that will support it. Many of our Canadian medical professionals have recognized the problem and are trying to address it in one way or another. The Canadian

    Health Research Council is now sponsor-ing a project in Ottawa to develop recom-mendations for municipalities that want to take action on improving our diets to make us healthier. Some medical facul-ties in the U.S. are making major chang-es to their curricula to include more training for doctors in nutrition. But sadly, our taxes, some of which must go to pay for our huge health care system, have now become a larger expense item for Canadians than the food we eat!

    Why do illegal mailers continue to operate?

    DENIS LEMELINCanadian Union of Postal Workers

    Did you know that the Con-servative minority government is smuggling certain controver-sial measures into its upcoming federal budget Bill C-9?

    While all eyes are on the Rahim Jaffer/Helena Guergis scandal, some other shady busi-ness is getting overlooked.

    Items that might prove unpop-ular, exposed to the light of pub-lic scrutiny, are being packaged and sold as part of a budget that is quickly working its way through Parliament.

    The Conservatives are count-ing on the oppositions reluc-tance to have an election to get their budget approved. But it is essential that the package is opened and its contents handled with care.

    Among those contents: open-ing up Canada Posts exclusive privilege to handle letters to international mail corporations. This is the Conservatives third annual attempt to deregulate international letters.

    Part 15 of Bill C-9 is the same legislation as Bill C-44, which died with the prorogation of the government last December. Prior to C-44, there was C-14, which died when the 2008 elec-tion was called.

    Repeatedly trotting out this legislation is not surprising given the current governments ideological position. The Con-servatives favour the wholesale deregulation and privatization of public services, regardless of what the public wants.

    The exclusive privilege that Canada Post holds on lettermail provides the necessary funds to allow it to provide universal public postal service. We live in the second-largest country in the world and should be proud

    of our postal system, operating in difficult terrain and across a huge landmass, to deliver afford-able postal services to all of us, regardless of where we live.

    With a gradual erosion of Canada Posts exclusive privi-lege, rural dwellers are likely to see huge rate hikes, more post office closures and more servic-es cut.

    The corporate business bot-tom line does not serve the same goal as universal public services and we know it. Thats why the Conservatives, who rely on rural voters, dont dare fully deregu-late. Instead, they will starve Canada Post of badly needed revenue and then propose mar-ket solutions to the crisis they have created.

    The passage of C-9 would also signal to the corporate sector that the door is open for further deregulation.

    Part 15 of Bill C-9 is a tool to chip away at public postal ser-vice. It would legalize the cur-rently illegal operations of busi-nesses known as remailers that are handling letters bound for foreign destinations.

    Despite several court judg-ments against them, these illicit mailers are still in business, siphoning millions in revenue from Canada Post. Why are we allowing this to happen? Why are the Conservatives dodging democratic debate by sneaking deregulation into the budget bill?

    This increasingly under-handed government must be held accountable.

    As we have demanded trans-parency in the Guergis-Jaffer affair, so too we must demand transparency in the budget bill. Part 15 of the C-9 package needs to be taken out and evaluated on its own merits, through a proper public consultation and debate.

    Horse shows return to Carp FairgroundsDEREK DUNN

    [email protected]

    CARP Horsing around is back in full stride at the Carp Fair-grounds this spring.

    The Eastern Ontario Quarter Horse Associa-tion held its first of at least three events in the village this year. The Spring Fling was a hot and sunny affair two weekends ago, beginning on Thursday. Much better than the cool reception horses and riders got last year, according to orga-nizer Dianne Runtz of Arnprior.

    Its just gorgeous here today, she said, while with friends under the shade next to her camp trailer. Therell be lots of spectators. No charge to get in, but dont bring noisemakers. And I think people really enjoy it.

    Some of the competi-tions include halter con-firmation, showmanship, pleasure driving and Eng-lish jumping.

    Runtz is convinced car-ing for a horse is a fine hobby for young people. It teaches them responsibil-ity; a living thing requires more care than a bicycle, she said. And, despite the popular perception, she said owning a horse is no more expensive than play-ing competitive hockey.

    Her one complaint about the venue is the need for security. She said young people steal and destroy property belong-ing to some of the 120 participants. It has got-ten so bad that organizers have been forced to hire security.

    Other than that Runtz looks forward to the next show.

    The June Classic runs June 11 to 13. The big show is the Summer Siz-zler in August.

    Performing at the Carp event was, clockwise from the top, Ashley Dee of Kingston, Kim Weisenberg of Pembroke and Kanatas Nicole Robert. The sec-ond show of the year is set for this weekend at the Carp Fair-grounds. Admis-sion is free. Photos by Derek Dunn

    Are there cougars in Eastern Ontario? A White Lake woman believes so after seeing what she thinks was the elusive animal just east of Arnprior.

    The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) isnt ruling out the possibility, but says despite about a dozen calls a year from this area, officials havent been able to verify there are cougars about.

    Margaret Cairns was driving to her nursing job in Ottawa May 17 when she saw the animal. She had turned onto Highway 17 from White Lake Road, crossed the bridge and was in the vicin-ity of the Carleton Place turnoff about 6:30 a.m. when she saw a sudden move-ment in a field off to the right of the highway.

    Traffic was bumper to bumper, so Cairns got a good look at the large beige-brownish animal, which she says appeared to look right at me.

    It was huge with a big head and a big tail, she said. It certainly wasnt a coyote or a (domestic) cat. It was much bigger and much different.

    Cairns said it appeared the animal

    was hunting in the field.She said she thought it might be either

    a wild cougar or one that had escaped from a zoo. Fewer deer and some fresh turkey kills in the White Lake area had made her wonder if a new predator had moved into the area, she said.

    Pembroke MNR information officer Doug Skeggs said he isnt surprised, as his office has received cougar reports from the Arnprior area before, although not about this animal. What weve been unable to do is verify any of them, he said.

    Despite the sightings, the MNR has not received photographs or been able to find physical evidence the cougars actually existed. The MNR set up a night camera operation near Pembroke last fall to check into a reported cougar sighting, only to determine it was a neighbours large cat, he said.

    In all, about 40 infrared, digital motion and heat-detecting flash cameras were set up on trails near Pembroke and Kempt-ville deemed to be possible cougar habi-tat, but no cougars have surfaced to have their photographs taken.

    Coalition hikes to save South March Highlands

    JESSICA [email protected]

    The Coalition for the Protection of South March Highlands hiked to Heron Pond on Sunday, May 30.

    Those who gathered in support of the coalition and those who just wanted to enjoy a warm afternoon walk, gathered to explore the natural beauty of the often-used mountain bike path.

    This is an effort to protect the South March Highlands, said team leader Paul Renaud.

    Adults walked a five-kilometre trail, while those with children walked a two-kilometre path with botanist Martha Webber.

    The South March area is the most densely bio-diverse area in the City of Ottawa, said Renaud.

    In addition to providing habi-tats for 12 species-at-risk, this area is home to 423 native species of vascular plants, including 41 regionally sig-nificant species, 134 species of birds, over 30 species of mammals, and an uncataloged number of reptiles and insects.

    There are over 30 differentiated ecotypes of vegetation that comprise 10 distinct habitats all packed into an area less than six square kilome-tres and all within city limits.

    Home to endangered species like the Blandings Turtle and Butternut trees, Renaud said he wants to see the Terry Fox Drive extension, which will run through the middle of the high-lands, halted.

    The area is recognized provincial-ly as an area of natural and scientific interest for its life science value and for its unique wetland complex, he said.

    The road extension has been fast-tracked due to the promise of federal and provincial infrastructure funds.

    We cannot allow deadlines for stimulus money from the federal gov-ernment to be used as justification of reckless development of our most bio-diverse natural area, said the coalition in a news release.

    The ecological costs of the Terry

    Fox Drive extension are unacceptable, and the City of Ottawa has not prop-erly fulfilled its obligations to assess and reduce those impacts. With the

    promise of federal stimulus money the City of Ottawa accelerated the road construction in order to to meet the completion date of March 2011.

    That while Aronec is a full time student, with two part time jobs, and helping look after a disabled parent was able to register before someone whose job is on the line. Im not going to try and take any direct shots here, Aronec said.

    I would like to say I am pleased the incumbent is running. He will be able to be held accountable based on his past actions up to the present by the electorate.

    Aronec added that now voters have a chance to question El-Chan-tiry on his handling of the Constance Bay beach issue, the coyote popula-tion issue, his handling of commu-nity groups (like the Carleton land-owners, community associations), the green box implementation, and snowplowing and removal.

    I believe that now he is officially in the race, and has all his funding given to him by the city (carried over from the previous election) that the residents will be given one of the more intense David vesus Goliath situations in the city.

    First elected in 2003 and again in 2006, El-Chantiry defeated J.P. Dorion last time out with more than 67 per cent of the vote. He has won

    on a pro-amalgamation platform, as a known Liberal backer, in a largely conservative ward.

    El-Chantiry was rumoured to have considered running for mayor on a right-of-centre platform, pro-vided Larry OBrien opted not to run. It would have made more than a few politicos at city hall happy.

    Although not living in the ward, El-Chantiry is owner and operator of the Lighthouse Restaurant in Constance Bay, making him likely the only councillor at city hall who flips eggs most Saturday mornings.

    Over the years, El-Chantiry has volunteered and financially sup-ported many organizations in West Carleton.

    As a councillor he has served as chair of the police services board, a member of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, Corporate Services and Economic Develop-ment Committee, and Long Range Financial Plan Sub-Committee.

    Born in Lebanon, El-Chantiry, 53, rarely loses an opportunity to thank Canadian peacekeepers for their work.

    He was raised the second of six kids on a family farm, before com-ing to Canada at the age of 18. He and wife Maha met in Ottawa.

    Photos by Derek DunnEli El-Chantiry is surrounded by supporters such as his wife, Maha, to his left, and assistant Lisa McGee to his right. Some near down at city hall were hoping he would take a run at the mayors chair. Alex Aronec is also vying for the Ward 5 position.

The four-month-old neutered male had been a stray for several months and his fur was badly matted and full of burrs, requiring a few patches of hair to be shaved. Jasper is a friendly cat who likes attention and can be quite affectionate. Jasper is tolerant of most cats, but gets along best with females. He is very outgoing and curious, he likes to explore. Jasper can play rough and would be best suited in an adult home.

    personality?Weir is an 11-month-old, neutered male who was brought to the shelter with his brothers to nd a new home. He is just a big kitten at heart. He enjoys playing, climbing, exploring and looking for trouble. Weir is an outgoing cat, he likes to be the centre of attention and is affectionate andfriendly. He loves to be held and snuggled and will climb onto your shoulders if you wont pick him up. Weir is great with other cats, and would be best suited in a home with at least one other cat, he cannot be in a home with dogs. He is gentle and very sweet and would make a great friend for children.l

    Karen McCrimmon, a 31-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, became the Liberal candi-date for member of parlia-ment in the ward of Car-leton-Mississippi Mills on May 27.

    McCrimmon defeated Bev Millar, Scott Simser and Bernie Muzeen in the race to replace departing Liberal candidate Justin McKinnon.

    The race was tight, with all four candidates having strong support among the people in attendance, but McCrimmons support base was the loudest.

    I have been to so many desperate places and every time I come back Im so grateful to be Canadian, said McCrimmon, who retired from the armed forces as a Lt.-Col. and currently owns her own small business. We have to protect our democracy, our rights and our free-dom and I can offer that to people.

    Her supporters agreed wholeheartedly.

    very well-qualified, said Diane Lee, who voted for McCrimmon.

    All four candidates had eight minutes for speeches, which were split between themselves and the person nominat-ing them.

    Millar was the first nominee to speak.

    I know our farmers, our local producers and our providers, said Mil-lar. We cant do every-thing but we can accom-plish much. Im not just a team leader, Im a team player.

    Simser spoke next. My parents reinforced

    the values in me to perse-vere and to fight, said Simser, who is deaf and once successfully fought

    the federal courts that its discriminatory for people to have to pay for sign lan-guage interpreters.

    After Simser, Bernie Muzeen, who was nomi-nated by McKinnon, went up to the podium.

    When I came to Can-ada I learned two unique Canadian traits, generosi-ty and humanitarianism, said Muzeen, who was born in London, England. My experiences have given me the determina-tion to never allow myself or others to be the subject of discrimination.

    McCrimmon spoke last.

    Were all here for one reason and that is to replace Gordon OConnor with a Liberal, said McCrimmon. Real lead-ership is about finding a way to get people engaged and to make this a place where our children can build a future.

    After McCrimmon was announced as the winner, the other three nominees withdrew to make the choice unanimous and pledged to continue work-ing together for the Lib-eral party.

    I will continue doing what Ive been doing for

    40 years, said Muzeen. I will help Liberals and try to get Liberals elected.

    After her victory,

    McCrimmon echoed these thoughts.

    Were all in this together and now its time

    for unity, said McCrim-mon.

    Were going to move forward together.

    CLA says patent grants give landowners many rights

    JOHN [email protected]

    The preservation of individ-ual property rights may exist in historical documents known as Crown Land Patent Grants. These Patent Grants, in reality a contract between the Crown and the landowner, give the landowner of today protection against any invasive bylaws or legislation pertaining to the land, those at the annual gen-eral meeting of the Carleton Landowners Association (CLA) were told on May 20.

    Elizabeth Marshall of the Collingwood area, secretary of the Ontario Landowners Associ-ation and a researcher with the Associations Patent Committee, said at the meeting at the former Goulbourn municipal building at Stanleys Corners just south of Stittsville that a Crown Land Patent Grant gives todays rural landowner control over his or her land and the legal author-ity to defy intrusive legislation such as that protecting wetlands or endangered species.

    She said that the Patent Grants set out the original con-ditions pertaining to the owner-ship of the land, with a 60 year period provided for the Crown to change or revoke the Patent Grant.

    This has never happened and so todays landowner, as an heir or assign of the original landowner, has inherited these rights as set out in the Patent Grant. This is unreserved own-ership of the land except, in some cases, for certain features that may be listed in a particu-lar patent such as gold, copper, iron, silver, white pine and navi-gable water.

    She urged all rural landown-ers, even if they own only a part of the original land grant, to apply to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources for a cer-tified copy of the Crown Land Patent Grant pertaining to the property. This costs $50. All that is needed is knowing the lot, concession and original town-ship where the property sits.

    Marshall contended that while provincial governments can pass legislation pertain-ing to public lands, they can-not pass any legislation related to privately held land because of these Patent Grants which clearly provide for land owner-ship with no strings attached, as it were.

    This was the most major rev-elation at the annual general meeting. But receiving much

    attention as well was the cur-rent attempt by the Carleton Landowners Association and on a provincial basis the Ontar-io Landowners Association to become more structured and organized so that the organiza-tion will have more credibility and influence.

    The meeting also heard from several speakers that there is a need to develop the organiza-tions fundraising capability so that it has a war chest to take legal action against the govern-ment in situations where prop-

    erty rights have been trampled.The Carleton Landowners

    Association has developed a draft set of bylaws which are now available for viewing on the groups website at www.carletonlandowners.com. The bylaws are devised to help the Carleton Landowners Associa-tion to become a more struc-ture group that would then be perceived as more credible and would gain more respect within the rural community.

    Having a war chest to legally back up protests to infringements on prop-erty rights was endorsed by Mark Tijssen, a Carls-bad Springs area resident who is now battling the Ontario Ministry of Natu-ral Resources following an incident in which he killed a pig on his property and then allowed some of it to be taken off the property.

    He lamented the costs, ranging from $45,000 to $100,000 which he could be facing if he decides to fight the government in court. If he agrees to a plea, his fine will only be a couple of thousand dollars or so.

    He praised the Carleton Landowners Association for providing moral sup-port and advice to him but he lamented the groups financial inability to help in any legal battles.

    What were missing is the ability to take on these legal fees, he said.

    He said that the provin-cial government would be more worried if the Land-owners group had a war chest for such legal battles.

    Thats my concern, he said, is that we are not well armed.

    He urged the Carleton Landowners Association to go a step beyond just providing moral support in cases of injustice against property rights and develop a financial clout that would enable those involved in clear cases of injustice to be defended.

    Carleton Landowners Association president Tom Black of Goulbourn said that having such a war chest is something that those involved with the Association have dreamed about but the problem is that there needs to be some-one to fill such a war chest with money.

    Jack MacLaren of West Carleton, the current presi-dent of the Ontario Land-owners Association and a former president of the Carleton Landowners Asso-ciation, in his remarks at the meeting, agreed with the feeling that the Associa-tion needs a war chest.

    Youre right, he told Black and Tijssen, we need a war chest.

    He noted that the orga-

    nization, which began seven years ago with four people sitting around a table, has now grown to 21 county associations in the province. He said that the provincial organization has to become more struc-tured and is now looking to hire a communications officer who would also do fundraising.

    Those at the meeting also heard from Mary Campbell, mayor of McNab/Braeside in the Arnprior area, who

    lamented that all provin-cial legislation these days is written from an urban point of view. However, she urged people to work from within the system to bring about change, advocating that they get involved in municipal politics.

    We have more potential power than we ever had since 1850, she said about municipalities, noting their new powers related to economic growth, environ-mental planning and other areas of interest.

    Deborah Madill, com-munications director for the Ontario Landown-ers Association, who also spoke at the meeting, added her voice to the need for the organization to become more structured.

    We really have to be structured, she said.

    We really have to be strong. She said that membership numbers have to grow and the organiza-tion has to become strong, lamenting that if this does not happen, rural landown-ers are going to lose every-thing.

    We have to go out there and kick butt, she said.

    He said the Eastern cougar was once native to the area, but if any cougars are found in the region now, they would be most likely escaped or released animals, he said.

    The MNR does encourage people to report sightings, he said. We do take reports seriously, especially if there is fresh physical evidence to scrutinize. If the area hasnt been trampled over by humans, wildlife officials will look for such things as tracks, fur samples and scat, he added.

    Give us a call if you think you see a cougar. But most often, youll find its not a cougar.

    A cougars most distinguishing char-

    acteristic is its long tail, he noted.Skeggs said he has never heard any

    reports of a cougar attacking a person in Eastern Ontario. Its also unlikely changes in deer and turkey populations are being caused by cougars, he added.

    The Valley deer population, which slipped after two tough winters, will like-ly rebound this year, he said.

    Other recent cougar sightings have been reported in Gatineau Park, Carls-bad Springs, Peterborough and Charles-ton Lake

    While the MNR is non-commital about the existence of cougars, the Ontario Puma Foundation suggests there about 550 of the animals in Ontario.

    The puma and the eastern cougar foundations stress that most encounters with cougars are not dangerous and urge people to resist calling 9-1-1 if one is sighted.

    The groups have advice on how to co-exist at www.easterncougar.org.

    Cougars avoid cameras
