Carp Road native announces Kanata-Carleton Conservative bid Freedman says riding needs ‘that strong voice’ by jake davies

Good witch Anna Jorgesen gets kids started on their cupcake creations by smearing on a layer of icing at a Halloween craft afternoon at the Carp branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Oct. 28.

Kanata consultant Sandra Freedman, who grew up on Carp Road, is seeking the Conservative nomination for the Kanata-Carleton riding. Freedman announced her bid on Saturday, Oct. 28, in the form of a press release. She spoke to the West Carleton Review Monday, Oct. 30 to talk about her reasons for throwing her hat in the political ring. “This area has such potential, I think we need that strong voice,” Freedman said. Freedman grew up on Carp Road working in her parents’ greenhouse the Carleton Growers. Freedman is a Carleton University graduate with master’s degrees in political management and international affairs. She currently works as a consultant for MNP, a Canadian consulting firm

“Business owners are upset about the new tax reforms coming in and I don’t see that strong voice there representing our business community,” she said. Freedman’s platform will focus on helping families, communities and businesses. She says she will do this by supporting local business and industry; creating opportunities for youth and young professionals; and ensuring communities are safe, positive and inclusive. From the riding’s high tech community in the Kanata North to its agricultural industry in West Carleton to its industrial sector along Freedman’s old stomping grounds on Carp Road, the KanataCarleton riding is a diverse community. “That’s an interesting aspect of the riding,” she said. “It’s great to have that diversity, but it’s going to be hard work. I’ll have to be informed on a

wide variety of issues. I don’t see them as totally disconnected either.” Freedman says residents in Kanata-Carleton are longing for change. “Residents of this riding are frustrated with the current government and Trudeau’s broken promises,” she said. “With the right candidate, Kanata-Carleton will be Conservative in 2019.” The Conservative riding has not set a date for a Kanata-Carleton nomination meeting yet, but Freedman expects it is about a year away. In the meantime, Freedman will use that time to go out and meet more of the community she hopes to represent. “I love it,” she said. “I have a lot of experience with that. People are frustrated with the current government. I’m really looking forward to doing more of that moving forward.”

jake.davies@metroland.com

We’re barely through Halloween, Remembrance Day is around the corner, so soon it will be time to start getting ready for Christmas. That’s right, I said it. The West Carleton Food Access Centre’s third fundraiser of the year is their third annual Carp Christmas Craft Sale. And it will

be bigger than ever. The sale, which will be held on Saturday, Nov. 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “We used to be in the Memorial Hall, but we outgrew that hall,” food access centre fundraising committee co-chair Pamela Ross said. So the annual event is moving to the Carp Agricultural Hall where there is more space, more parking and a bigger kitchen.

This year, there are 30 vendor tables including four tables dedicated to the food bank. There’s a Secret Santa Shop to help children 12 years of age and under to get some help and shop for their family. “There is no duplication,” Ross says of the variety of vendors participating. “We’ve kept it all local. We have a lot of volunteers to help out. You can come in and buy a $5 lunch and do your shopping. There’s no overhead for us and it all goes to the food access centre.” Ross says this event has grown each year thanks to the support of the West Carleton community. “I can’t believe the support we’ve got, and people are already talking about next year,” she said.

Nicholson, a five-time Paralympian who won gold in Torino in 2006 as a member of the Canadian Sledge Hockey team, was the keynote speaker at an event at Irish Hills Golf Club on Oct. 25, to talk about assistive technologies. During a break in the proceedings, Nicholson took some time to talk to the West Carleton Review about some of the projects he’s involved with. Nicholson was a member of the Canadian Sledge Hockey team during its dominant period in the 1990s and 2000s. At the time, he was listed as one of the Top 10 Sledge Hockey players in the world. It was no surprise then when Nicholson was selected as the Chef de Mission for the 2018 Canadian Paralympic team last January.

‘Try it’ night for Square Dance Club Special to the Review

Modern square dancing is a lot of fun — it’s as simple as that! And that’s why the Bay Waves Square Dance Club of Constance Bay wants to encourage more people to try out modern square dancing and discover for themselves how much fun it is. It’s also good exercise and it leads to a lot of friendships. The Bay Waves Square Dance Club is inviting anyone interested to come out on Friday, Nov. 10 from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Northwinds Wireless Fibe Centre (formerly the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre) at 262 Len Purcell Dr. in Constance Bay and try out modern square dancing. Both couples and singles are most welcome. There is no charge for the first night, so you have nothing to lose and lots to gain in terms of fun and learning all about modern square dancing. You can call Charlie Henderson at 613-832-1869 or email him at bay.waves@live.ca for more information or even to let him know that you will be attending. Modern square dancing is considered an extension of the traditional form of square dancing. It was when microphones became available and popular in the early 1950s that square dance callers moved from being in nearly every square to the front of the hall and calling for a whole room full of dancers.

Because modern square dancing is taught by “moves,” as compared to whole dances like in traditional square dancing, it is possible for more dancers to be moving at any one time. Indeed, dancers cannot anticipate what comes next in modern square dancing. Dancers must hone their memory skills and respond in a timely manner. That’s what makes it so much fun and, indeed, a bit of a challenge! There are no competitions or tests in modern square dancing. Dancers take part for fun, not for perfection. Because modern square dance clubs are “not for profit”, such as the Bay Waves Square Dance Club, dancing with such clubs is not expensive. Volunteers undertake much of the work involved. Callers in modern square dancing choose their own pre-

recorded music from any genre but they attempt to choose music that most dancers will enjoy. While there is rarely a live band or a fiddler involved, there is a wide variety of music. Modern square dancing is fun right from the start. The caller teaches all of the moves so that no previous experience is needed. And it’s good exercise as well. A modern square dancer can cover anywhere from three to five kilometres in an evening of dancing. According to a study done by the Mayo Clinic a few years ago, modern square dancing is the best activity to delay the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. You can visit www.eodance.ca for information about clubs and events in Eastern Ontario as well as about modern square dancing in general.

Warehouse/office project in Reis Industrial Park Special to the Review

A phased warehouse and office development is being proposed for a site in the Reis Industrial Park off the Carp Road in West Carleton. Currently vacant, the site is in an area developed with a mix of light industrial and commercial uses. The proposed development will see the phased construction of four multi-tenant singlestorey buildings at 210 and 220 Maple Creek Court, a cul-de-sac running off Tansley Drive in the Reis Industrial Park. These buildings will be used for light industrial and warehouse uses with accessory office space. The first phase of the development will include one single-storey warehouse building with an area of 1858 square metres which will be oc-

cupied by two tenants. One unit will be occupied by Wall Sound and Lighting, which provides professional and commercial sound and light systems to customers. The development will have to conform to the approved Carp Road Corridor Community Design Plan of June 2004. The proposed development will include measures identified in the CDP to improve the visual appearance of the area. Such measures will include locating the proposed parking areas at the rear and side of the proposed buildings, locating the proposed garbage enclosure away from the front yard and the provision of landscape plantings at the front of the buildings. In addition, the proposed buildings will include a mix of materials that will create a visually pleasing façade.

New heavy equipment repair garage planned Special to the Review

A new heavy equipment repair garage with accessory office is planned for a Carp Road site in West Carleton. The 3.2 hectare site is located on the east side of Carp Road south of Reis Road, with about 45 metres of frontage. Huntley Creek runs along a portion of the south east boundary of the site. The site is surrounded by commercial and industrial properties. The new heavy equipment repair garage with office space will be 599 square metres in size. An existing vinyl clad single bag garage which is currently used for vehicle maintenance will be relocated. Also relocated will be a number of

shipping containers which are used for the storage of parts. The site will continue to be used for the operation of a trucking business and a street-cleaning business along with an office and maintenance and repair of trucks. The City of Ottawa’s planning, infrastructure and economic development department will be making a decision on the site plan related to this new heavy equipment repair garage with accessory office by Dec. 8. Comments about the proposal should be submitted to planner Lorraine Stevens by Nov. 9, 2017. Stevens can be contacted at 613-580-2424, ext. 15077 or via email at lorraine.stevens@ottawa.ca.

Nothing veiled in Bill 62 racism threat

uebec’s Bill 62 barring those who choose to cover their face from receiving public services is, as Mayor Watson has written to Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard, an infringement of the fundamental Charter right of freedom of individuals to express their religion in the manner they choose and discriminates against women who choose to express that freedom. But the mayor is being nice. It is much more than that — it is racism and bigotry, wrapped up in a false claim it is being done for public safety reasons. There is absolutely no evidence that covering one’s face in any way is a precursor of violent behaviour. We are somewhat disappointed in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s rather weak response to this discriminatory action by the Quebec government. He should be coming out forcefully and unequivocally against this law as he has a responsibility to defend Canadian values and to battle so-called “values” politics like this wherever it might raise its ugly head. This is not something to play politics with, worrying about winning or losing votes in Quebec. Rather, this is something that goes to the very core of our Canadian beliefs and must be opposed as strongly and firmly as possible. There is just no place in Canada for such feelings of racism, bigotry and discrimination against women. It is even more important to quash this racism and bigotry in its tracks right now, not only because

of this new law in Quebec, but in light of the new Statistics Canada data about Canada’s population. The data shows that Canada is more diverse than ever, with 22 per cent of Canadians now identifying themselves as part of a visible minority. In addition, the Indigenous population is growing rapidly and more and more immigrants are arriving in Canada, coming from countries like China and India rather than traditional northern European nations. These trends are going to continue, with Statistics Canada estimating that by the year 2036, visible minorities will represent more than 35 per cent of Canada’s population. This will require all those in society to be tolerant, welcoming and accepting of such rapid change. These are all traits Canadians as a whole accept today as evidenced by the recent outpouring of support for Syrian refugee families. Indeed, Prime Minister Trudeau has often remarked on this openness and tolerance of Canadians. In such a scenario and facing such a future, there is no room for the racism and bigotry that is evidenced by Quebec’s law barring public services to those who cover their faces due to their belief system. That’s why such pandering to society’s base racist instincts must be stopped now. This is a cutand-dried issue — there is no grey area here. You either believe in fairness, equity and tolerance or you don’t. There is no place for a law like Quebec’s Bill 62.

Viewing life through a three-inch cellphone screen

t is said that more than 1.3 million people saw the MosaiCanada 150 exhibition at Jacques Cartier Park in Gatineau during the three-and-a-half months of the show. Large crowds trooped in awe through horticultural depictions of famous Canadian scenes and moments. To the untrained eye, it was difficult to tell whether we were seeing something spectacularly beautiful or spectacularly kitschy, but either way it was spectacular and people seemed to love it. You could tell that by the way they kept stopping on their way around the park to have their pictures taken. As each new spectacle approached — Jos Montferrand, a Mountie on a horse, a muskox — so did the obstacles in front of it, consisting of people standing still while someone with a phone

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town took their pictures. Some people, with long arms, took photos of themselves. Either way, it slowed things down. This is a fairly new phenomenon, new since phones developed into pretty good cameras, and it will have to be addressed at some point. Mind you, the world has many problems more serious than congestion in public places caused by cellphone cameras. Still, this is one problem that can actually be solved.

skill to use them well, families tended to specialize. One person was the photographer and others looked after other activities, such as mowing the lawn, writing letters to Santa Claus and changing the light bulbs. Now, everybody is a photographer, thanks to the cellphone camera. From the number of pictures that are taken, it’s a wonder that light bulbs get changed at all. Now, when a family of four arrives at an event such as MosaiCanada 150, it is not enough for one photo to be taken of, say, Anne of Green Gables or Paul Henderson scoring the winning goal in 1972. Now, all four cameras must capture the image. This all takes time. There are big thinkers among us who theorize that modern technology has changed our approach to the things we witness. We are now intent more on recording them than on looking at them. Our

preference is to look at things on a three-inch screen as opposed to large as life. And why? Who knows. All we do know is that the etiquette of sightseeing is undergoing a subtle change. Where once we stood politely and waited for someone’s photo to be snapped before moving on, now we just charge ahead and if that ruins the photo, so be it. The alternative is to spend hours waiting for photos to be taken. And anyway, it is not as if film is being wasted. As noted, it is not a big problem, as big problems go. But can anything be done? The Japanese, who are often a step ahead of the rest of us, have given the matter some thought. At major tourist attractions, such as shrines and temples, where thousands gather, there are signs. The signs say: “No group photos.” What a great idea, especially given

the size of some of the groups. Applied here, it might even deter the family of four cellphones. If not, perhaps a more politely Canadian reminder might be better, such as: “Don’t forget to look at the exhibits.”

Those involved in the panel discussion about autism which was held in Carp by Carp Health Access on Oct.21 are (from left) Randy Meltzer of Carp Health Access who was the moderator; Marnie Potter of Autism Ontario; therapist Shelley Brown of the Portia Learning Centre in Kanata; parent Gabe Batta; Suzanne Jacobson of Qucikstart (early intervention for autism); and Carolyn Eartly, an intake worker with the CHEO autism program.

Vital role for quick action by parents of autistic children Special to the Review

There’s a new approach to treatment for autism in Ontario that is now being introduced, but there’s still a vital role for quick action by parents. At a recent panel discussion entitled Navigating the Autism Spectrum, hosted by Carp Health Access at the St. James Anglican Church Hall, panel member and parent Gabe Batta advised that parents should always take action, even while a child may be on a waiting list for diagnosis or treatment. He noted that his daughter received private speech therapy and private treatment while waiting for diagnosis, and she is now in kindergarten and progressing — something the father attributes to the family always doing something rather than doing nothing. Suzanne Jacobson, another panel member as well as president and founder of QuickStart — an

organization that provides early intervention services for autism — said that the sooner autism is identified and help and support is provided, the sooner the child will be able to achieve their full potential. “Trust your instincts,” she

advised parents, if they have any concerns about their child. Act on your instincts, she reiterated, adding that QuickStart has created an Ottawa Autism Roadmap that can help parents of recently diagnosed children navigate the system.

She said that she views the term “wait time” as a double fourletter word. She advised parents to get a binder when a child is diagnosed, then to make notes in the binder about every person who is talked to during the ensuing treatment process

and what was said. In addition, she urged to have any questions that you have prepared in the binder, so that you can ask them when talking to those in the system. Carolyn Eartly, an intake worker with the autism program at the Children’s Hos-

pital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), outlined the changes that are taking place under the province’s new approach to treatment for autism. Treatment services for autism will now have a single point of access and service provided will be

based on need, with the service both individualized and flexible. Staff in the autism program at CHEO has tripled in the last 18 months, although it is still not known exactly what the new treatment structure will look like. Con’t on page 10

Electric Vehicle Day in Kanata It was great to hear from friendly and knowledgeable electric vehicle owners on the financial incentives of going electric, and on the EV infrastructure the City of Ottawa is putting in place. I even got to check out a Tesla! Thank you Enviro Centre for bringing Electric Vehicle Day to Kanata!

Guitars for Veterans I am very much looking forward to attending a great cause on Friday, November 10 at Algonquin College. The “Guitars for Veterans” concert will raise funds to buy guitars for Veterans who cannot afford to buy their own. The event will help bring the therapeutic power of music to members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (serving and retired) that are dealing with the invisible wounds of their service. Even if you can’t attend, please consider buying a ticket that will be given to a Veteran so they can attend. Please visit their website: vetscanada.org/play-your-part.php

“Coffee with Karen” I want to thank my colleague Omar Alghabra, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Consular Affairs), for joining me in Kanata to talk with Constituents this past week. There were great questions and great conversations held with those present, and I very much enjoyed meeting new friends.

Town Hall in November Our next “Let’s Talk” event will take place on Thursday, 16 November from 6:30 – 8:30 pm at the Kanata Recreation Centre (Hall A). I look forward to meeting and hearing from Constituents on those issues of most importance to the community. We will talk about a broad array of issues and I will be happy to answer any questions that those attending may have.

This past week I had the wonderful opportunity to welcome several Constituents to Parliament. I was delighted to attend a lovely reception celebrating 35 years of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women & the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms. It was great to chat again with the team from Merge Robotics who, since 2015, has gathered as high school students to build robots and increase their technical skills. Finally, I was thrilled to be joined by my colleague, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister for Youth, Peter Schiefke, to chat with Grade 5 students from Kanata’s St. Martin de Porres School. It is always great to welcome friendly faces to Parliament and I invite all Constituents to pay a visit sometime soon!

Continuous treatment cycle under new program another panel member, said that she tries to provide support and resources for families and to inform parents of what to do when a child is diagnosed with autism. In response to a question about the latest research about autism and its causes, she said that the causes are still not known, although it is definitely not vaccines. She said that there are a lot of different factors being considered, while there are no huge leaps yet being made in discovering the causes

This new staffing and new funding as well will be meant to reduce wait times. There are currently about 2,000 on the waiting list at CHEO. Under the new program, a family support worker will act as the continual point of contact through the treatment journey of the autistic child. There will be a continuous treatment cycle, with no need for any re-referrals. Marnie Potter, a family support coordinator with Autism Ontario and

of autism. The possible impact of diet and nutrition is still anecdotal at present. Panel member Jacobson of QuickStart said the feeling is that there will be a variety of causes discovered, some biological and some genetic. However, no one knows at present. Panel member Shelley Brown, a senior therapist with the Portia Learning Centre in Kanata, said that work is being done toward developing an early detection system for infants. The

Portia Learning Centre, which provides treatment for autism, is taking part in two studies investigating a tool for early detection. Early signs of autism as outlined by QuickStart can include poor eye contact, a child not responding to his or her name or to verbal cues, resistance to change, more interest in things than people, delayed speech, repetitive movements, aggressive or self-injurious behaviour, sensitivity to clothing and crowds, disuse of ges-

tures to communicate and selective food preferences. The panel discussion was hosted by Carp Health Access, formerly known as the West Carleton Health Access Foundation. Carp Health Access is a non-profit charitable organization that raises awareness and funds for worthy causes that improve both the health and quality of life for residents of Carp and adjacent communities. The organization’s goal is to keep health-care access local.

The ornamental gardens of the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa will be coming alive at the Carp Memorial Hall in Carp on Tuesday, Nov. 14. No, they are not being transplanted to Carp, but it’s the next best thing as author Richard Hinchcliff will be there giving a presentation entitled “Bloomers are the craze”, which will be all about the ornamental gardens at the Central Experimental Farm. And Hinchcliff knows all about them as he has written the recently-published book Blooms: An Illustrated History of the Ornamental Gardens at Ottawa’s Central Experimental Farm. He will be the guest speaker at the November meeting of the West Carleton Garden Club on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Carp Memorial Hall. Hinchcliff’s book Blooms tells about the farm’s ornamental gardens and how they developed into the beautiful and historic location that they are today. The book is illustrated with historic photos of the gardens and the unique flowers that were bred at the farm. There are also photos capturing the splendour of the farm’s present-day gardens and plants. Blooms tells the story of the people and events that have influence the growth of the farm’s gardens from their beginnings in 1886 to the present day. This includes roses, peonies, lilies, lilacs, irises, crab apples and chrysanthemums. The book is the contribution of the Friends of the Farm to Canada’s 150th anniversary this year. The Central Experimental Farm has been the birthplace of a number of made-in-Ottawa flowers that have been hybridized at the farm for use

by Canadian gardeners. Some of these include the Preston lilacs, created by Isabella Preston, a world-renowned breeder who worked at the farm from 1920 to 1946, and the Explorer series of roses, created by researchers at the farm. Hinchcliff worked on the book for five years, discovering interesting stories about those involved with the gardens at the farm. The book also contains some of Hinchcliff’s own photographs of the gardens as well as historic photos that show how the farm’s gardens have grown over the years. The book gives a chronological history of the farm’s gardens and how research, education and beauty have transformed the gardens over the course of more than 125 years. The book also at the individual floral collections bred at the farm. The 304-page Blooms is not Hinchcliff’s first book about features at the farm. He has co-authored For the Love of Trees: A Guide to the Trees of Ottawa’s Central Experimental Farm Arboretum, which was also published by the Friends of the Farm and is now in its third printing. Blooms sells for $35 per copy. The Nov. 14 meeting of the West Carleton Garden Club at the Carp Memorial Hall in Carp will not only feature Hinchcliff and his presentation about the ornamental gardens of the Central Experimental Farm, but also the annual general meeting of the Garden Club itself. Guests are most welcome to attend this Nov. 14 meeting of the West Carleton Garden Club. There is a $5 guest fee.

Letter: Where does MPP MacLaren get his information? Editor: I've been trying to ignore MPP Jack MacLaren since he left the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, knowing that he's going to disappear into oblivion in the next provincial election. But when he starts playing loose with the facts and misleading people, I lose my patience. I don’t know about you, but I really don't want that kind of political environment here in Canada, even though it’s currently popular in the United States. You have to wonder where Mr. MacLaren gets his information? Does he research anything or does he just repeat things that he hears that support his view of the world? 1. He keeps going on about the Magna Carta but does he actually know what it is? It was writ-

ten by the Archbishop of Canterbury in England in the year 1215, primarily to make peace between an unpopular king and rebel barons. It was mostly about small disputes in the feudal system, like control of the forests, river navigation, and scarcity of cash to pay debts. Since then, it's been amended and used for assorted political purposes, depending on which way the wind was blowing. Today, it's quoted by some as a symbol of limited government and the rule of law but it’s an enduring myth that it protected ancient personal liberties. 2. Regarding the tax changes that are being proposed by the federal government, I had my own small business for many years and was never able to use the tax breaks that are being removed. Why?

Many good meals for red squirrels BY MICHAEL RUNTZ

Since time immemorial our kind has been fascinated with the future. Fortune-tellers have made fortunes at the expense of those who wished to know what lay ahead. Farmers looked for signs that told them what the future weather might be. Some of those involved nature: the size of a beaverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stash of branches for winter consumption was said to foretell the severity of the winter ahead; the larger the stash, the longer the winter. As are the other signs used to predict winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s severity, this unfortunately is a myth.

Ward 5 West Carleton-November Please yield when you see a green light coming your way The City of Ottawa would like to remind motorists that vehicles with green flashing lights are being driven by volunteer firefighters who are responding to a call. As a courtesy, all road users are asked to allow these vehicles to pass quickly and safely. Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural communities are served by 470 volunteer firefighters. Through the Green Light program, volunteer firefighters are equipped with green flashing lights for their personal vehicles. When you see a green light flashing from a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle, it means the driver is a volunteer firefighter responding to an emergency. Drivers are asked, to please yield the road to these vehicles with green flashing lights. This may mean pulling over, if it is safe to do so, to allow the vehicle to pass. Volunteer firefighters responding to an emergency typically need to drive their personal vehicles to a nearby fire station where they can transfer into a fire vehicle before responding to the scene of an incident. Pulling over when you see a firefighterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green light can have a big impact because every second counts. To increase awareness of the Green Light program, the City launched an awareness campaign on October 25. Drivers in rural areas may notice additional road signs and billboards reminding them of the program. An instructive Green Light Awareness Campaign video is also available on the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, ottawa.ca.

the cones were felled from trees earlier this fall, livening the forests with steady thuds as they hit branches and the ground on their downward journey. By felling the cones some time before they are stashed, squirrels realize two benefits: the conesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; protective resin had time to at least partly dry, and, most importantly, the cones were prevented from maturing and releasing their seeds. It is the seeds under the scales that red squirrels (and crossbills) desire. Squirrels access seeds by nipping off cone scales with their large incisors, creating messy piles of discarded scales whenever a meal is enjoyed. When eating, red squirrels hold a cone in their front paws, rotating it as we would when enjoying a cob of corn. With so much natural food available this fall, many small mammals and birds will benefit. We might, too, at least financially, with fewer birds and squirrels visiting our birdfeeders!

Ambassadors Raising Hope As many residents of Ward 5 attend and use the services of the Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH), I have joined forces with ten of my west-end Council colleagues as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopes Rising Ambassadorsâ&#x20AC;? to raise $500,000 in support of the QCH Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hopes Rising Campaign for mental health services for adults of all ages in west Ottawa.

Although future events, especially those involving winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ferocity, are rarely prophesied with accuracy, I am boldly predicting that this winter will be quite favourable for mice and squirrels. It will be good in terms of food abundance and survivorship. Now, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t visited a Tarot card reader or looked into a crystal ball. I make this bold prediction because the trees told me it would be so. As many of you know, this has been an excellent year for seed production. Blueberry bushes were blue with berries and many species of trees including Sugar Maple, Ironwood, White Pine, White Spruce, and Balsam Fir were laden with seeds. Maple keys benefit woodland jumping mice and deer mice. Jumping mice are hibernators and a good year of maple key production allows them to fatten up before entering their deep sleep, as well as create stashes of food for the following spring. Deer mice remain active all winter and devour their caches of keys through that season. The large seed crops of coniferous trees benefit other animals. Crossbills, those nomadic birds with oddly shaped bills, will even nest in winter if their travels bring them to an especially rich crop of cones and therefore seeds. And the winter survival of red squirrels is strongly associated with the size of the previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cone crop. With this current large cone crop, red squirrels will enjoy many good meals this winter. Currently, they are busily preparing for the upcoming season by piling cones in underground chambers and under fallen trees, with numerous stashes being created through their territory. Cones are carried by mouth, one at a time, with dozens of forays made daily. Many of

Highlighting what’s important about Christmas

Call: 613.432.3655 ext. 31 or 1.800.884.9195

here was a moment, one Christmas morning not too long ago, when we realized we had overdone it. After opening our dozens of gifts, we could not move from our seated positions on couches and chairs around my sister’s living room. It had finally happened. We had too many gifts. It was an embarrassment of riches. As our children mature, they begin to want to take part in the gift-giving ritual. Soon they are not only the recipients but also the givers of gifts. That’s when it becomes complicated. The last thing you want at Christmas is for your children to become stressed over the length of their Christmas lists. It bothered me to see my daughter racing around town on Christmas Eve, trying to find the perfect gift for every last person on her list instead of enjoying the festivities. But Christmas isn’t about that. Christmas is about spending time together, celebrating traditions. And yes, you can do that with a few token gifts. But it isn’t supposed to induce panic. Somewhere along the way we lost sight of that. So last year, as we dug our way out

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife

from under another mountain of tissue paper and coloured wrapping, one of our daughters announced that she would like to establish a new family gift-giving tradition. She wanted to do a Secret Santa name exchange. It sounded like a great idea. Each of us in our immediate family would draw a name, and buy a Christmas gift for that person. The maximum value for that gift is $100. We can also buy gifts for the other people in the family, but there is no obligation to do so. In fact, it might prove embarrassing or uncomfortable if you have gifts for people and they don’t have gifts for you. The Farmer, who normally hands me the money and lets me do the shopping, is neither comfortable nor enthusiastic about the Secret Santa program. “I’m buying my daughters gifts,” he announced.

“That’s fine,” I said.” But if you didn’t draw the person’s name, the gift limit is $20.” I got something like a “harrumph” in response. I explained that by introducing the gift exchange, we would be taking stress off the girls and allowing them to buy the things they really needed with their money, instead of racing around obsessed with buying gifts for everyone at Christmas. The Farmer was not convinced. He has not bought into this whole deal yet. I personally am really looking forward to being able to focus on holiday gatherings that are not centred around opening gifts. I am looking forward to reconnecting, celebrating memories, and building new traditions for our growing family instead of just opening present after unnecessary present. It feels good to be cutting back on this indulgent, unbalanced tradition. I will be able to take my time finding one significant gift for the person whose name I drew. And I’m telling you right now, most of the other people in my family will be getting books. Because I love books, and also because they most often fall under the $20 limit that has

been established. Now that I don’t have to spend hours upon hours in the hell known as a shopping centre at Christmastime, I might actually have time to get creative and make something. I can make chocolates, or almond bark, package them up in colourful tins from the dollar store and give those as gifts instead of spending all my hard-earned cash on things my family members do not need. When buying my gifts, I will make every attempt to shop local. I do this every year but it should be much easier this year with such a simple objective. I won’t be spending thousands of dollars this holiday season, but the money I do spend will stay in the community. It feels good to know that in our own way this year, our family is cutting back on waste and overspending and taking the time to highlight the important things about the season. And it will feel really good to have time to talk, eat, drink and maybe play a game, watch a movie or go for a hike instead of just opening gift after gift this Christmas morning. w w w. t h e a c c i d e n t a l f a r m w i f e. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

Early water transportation Special to the Review

Water transportation was key for early settlers in the Ottawa Valley. It was also key for the Indigenous people, who centuries earlier had made their great revolution in transportation technology through the development of that transportation marvel, the birch bark canoe. Early settlement in the Ottawa Valley followed the rivers — the Ottawa River itself, the Rideau River, the Jock River, the Carp River, the Mississippi River and more. Local author and historian Terry Currie told about travelling on the Ottawa River through the years until 1840 at a recent meeting of the Men’s Ministry of West Carleton, which met in Fitzroy Harbour. This Ottawa River travel included birch bark canoes for the Indigenous travelers, and in the early years of European settlement, a scow, which was a flat-bottomed boat with a blunt bow that settlers used to haul flour from their grain, quicklime from their lime kilns and potash from their hardwood forests. These products all generated profitable returns in the downstream Montreal market, which in turn supplied the home British market with its inflated prices for goods from Britain itself or its colonies. Currie explained that the Ottawa River around Chats Falls at Fitzroy Harbour was an important area for the Indigenous natives because of the existence of the river. Pontiac Bay across the river from Fitzroy Harbour was an important meeting place for natives, as evidenced by the fact that six graves of chiefs were located there. They have since been relocated to Golden Lake.

Currie emphasized that the availability of water travel was vital, not only for the Indigenous natives of the area, but also for the early settlers. Originally, natives used dugout canoes created by the expert use of fire — not only for cutting down the trees used, but also in hollowing out the wood and shaping it to create the dugout canoe. But then, the natives invented the birch bark canoe, which was a technological revolution because it was light and easy to carry, unlike the bulky dugout canoe. The proliferation of large white birch trees in the area north of the Great Lakes meant that the birch bark canoe became a unique Canadian means of travel. Not only were there two-person birch bark canoes, but larger trader canoes were developed, capable of carrying up to two tonnes of goods. These were used for trading, and trade the natives did. The Algonquin, Huron and other natives would trade corn meal, twine made from native hemp, dried fish and other items among themselves. Furs were not big items of trade among the natives, because they all had furs. The big canoes were used not only for trade, but also for war. Currie said that the Ottawa River was part of the “great path of war” for the natives, which saw them travel along the Hudson River, along Lake Ontario, up the Cataraqui and Rideau rivers, then up the Ottawa River to make surprise raids on other natives, capturing women, children and items such as dried fish.

Products to market on scows Continued from page 18

The early European settlers in the area used the rivers for transportation. This was preferable to walking through the bush, as there were no roads. These early settlers came to use flat-bottomed scows to get products such as barrels of flour, potash or quicklime to market. These scows, loaded with cargo, would start down a river like the Mississippi, using timber slides at spots like Almonte, Blakeney and Pakenham to get past the falls there. They would use the timber slide at Chats Falls at Fitzroy Harbour to get along the Ottawa River, eventually making their way to Montreal, where their products would be sold. The use of such scows, some with sails, ended in the 1830s with the advent of steam engine boats on the Ottawa River. But, as Currie points out, there was a 30-year moment of time in the early 19th century when vessels driven only by “wind, water and muscle” were the means of transportation on the rivers of this area. While the Rideau Canal was built, the Ottawa River did not become a canal route. For one thing, Col. John By rerouted the Rideau Canal to end at Shelter Bay behind today’s Chateau Laurier Hotel, rather than at LeBreton Flats. This was because he had learned that LeBreton had cheated

at cards to obtain the land. Because of this decision, no canal was built around the Chaudiere Falls, limiting transportation on the Ottawa River. There was an attempt to build a canal around Chats Falls, with the effort taking place at Pontiac Bay on the Quebec side of the river. This canal got to within 100 yards of completion when the firm went bankrupt and the canal was never finished.

Eventually, the advent of railways put canals out of the transportation business. The main products of the early settlers were flour (made from grain); potash used for fertilizer (made from burning hardwood trees); and quicklime, which was produced in a lime kiln from the heating of crushed limestone. Quicklime was used in building mortars.

Botanist to talk about flowering plants and Evolution of Flowering Plants. As always, guests are welcome to attend. Some of Gillespie’s time is spent in a DNA lab unlocking information in DNA molecules — the key to classifying and identifying new species. A good portion is also spent in field trips collecting and surveying plants in remote areas of the Canadian Arctic. She has more than 20 Arctic field trips to her credit. Sleuthing in the Arctic sometimes calls for boots in canoes as well as on the ground. In 2014, Gillespie and her three-member team spent long days in canoes paddling Nunavut’s Coppermine River in search of plant life never formally catalogued by science. They did a similar survey in 2012, along the Soper River of Baffin Island. One aspect of collecting specimens

Thanking our Veterans with Bill 100 Earlier this month my Private Members Bill, the Honouring our Veterans Act, unanimously passed what is known as second reading in the Ontario Legislature. After one more vote it may receive Royal Assent and become law. All three other parties voiced their support for the bill and I am grateful for that. Bill 100, is a simple yet important proposal that will serve as a way of thanking those that have served in the Canadian Forces and helped to preserve our freedom. It will allow veterans of the Canadian Forces to add a special graphic to their drivers’ licenses that says “Veteran” under their photo. Like the veteran license plates that already exist this is a way veterans can publicly take pride in their service and for civilians to identify veterans so that they can express their gratitude for the good work the Canadian Forces has done. As we approach Remembrance Day it is important that all Canadians remember those that have sacrificed everything so that we as Canadians may be free. I will remember my family members who have served as I know many others will, and I will thank those that are still with us.

has changed little from the days of early plant explorers. Team member Paul Sokoloff blogs how they “still preserve plants by smashing them between cardboards in a plant press, using airflow and pressure to dry them into two-dimensionality.” Apply that image to their 2014 trip when they collected some 1,200 specimens! Modern technology aids other aspects, though — preserving sub-samples in silica gel for future DNA analyses, the GPS identification of locations, and the output of data into online collections. One of their legacies will be a new Flora of the Canadian Arctic, ‘a new standard’ with digital assets and web and database technologies. Solid baseline data is especially important during periods of climate change and guiding future research. As Gillespie explains in the museum’s youth 2007 Botany on Ice video: “We need to really know and understand what plants we have in the Arctic right now … where they are distributed. Then, we can start monitoring to find out how the plants change with climate change."

Litter, trash and even leaves were gathered up by St. Isidore Catholic School students on Monday afternoon, Oct. 23. The schoolyard as well as the grounds of the adjacent St. Isidore Catholic Church on March Road were left spick and span as students combed the area for litter and trash. Even fallen leaves were scooped up as the students cleaned up the grounds. It was all part of the school’s involvement in the city of Ottawa’s Glad Cleaning The Capital fall cleanup program. Students were provided with blue plastic gloves to use in picking up the litter and trash. Paper leaf and yard waste bags were provided for the cleanup as well. And even city of Ottawa councillor Marianne Wilkinson of Kanata dropped in during the cleanup to en-

courage the students and to chat with them about environmental awareness. Students told councillor Wilkinson that the cleanup helps out the environment, keeping it healthy which also means that people will be healthy as well. Students expressed concern about the amount of plastics that ends up in watercourses, rivers and the oceans where it can be deadly for fish and aquatic life. Councillor Wilkinson was told by the students that they enjoy trying to help the environment and the earth’s creatures. And she was also told that helping the environment is not only good for the earth but it’s also fun to do. The councillor was also told about the school’s “watt buster” program in which electrical use is monitored so that electricity is used wisely and only when needed. Councillor Wilkinson reminded the students to use a green bin for recycling at home if they can. She also reminded them that people should not throw trash out of a moving car, littering the roadside. St. Isidore Catholic School has attained eco-school status thanks to its environmental awareness programs and initiatives, one of which is taking part in the city’s Glad Cleaning the Capital fall cleanup program.

Father believed there was always a solution for everything

t had been a hot summer. Many times Mother said how grateful she was that Grampa had bought us a Barnett icebox. Oak, it was. And it filled a whole corner in the kitchen. It meant we could keep our food from spoiling, and the ice it held from the ice house could be chipped and put into well water for a cold drink on a hot day. But as summer turned into fall and the days got shorter, even though it was much colder, it was still a long time before the Bonnechere would be frozen and more ice brought into the ice house. And so it was that fall day, when Father said we had to be careful, or we would run out of ice before the winter set in. The youngest of us were not allowed in the ice house in the hot summer, just in case we let in the heat. Everything was done to keep the big blocks frozen solid. The little black building was built on the north side of the barn to FOR SALE

protect it as much as possible from the sun, and wagonload after wagonload of sawdust was dragged from the sawmill to cover the ice. The big black tongs hung on a spike outside the building, and only Audrey or Father were the ones to bring a block into the icebox when needed. And now, Father said, it looked like we might run out of ice before the Bonnechere froze over. Now, the block in the Barnett was allowed to melt until there was nothing to prove it had ever been there. My job was to empty the basin of water that piped down when the ice melted, and I was both glad and anxious when it now had to be done only every second day. Glad that I didn’t have to worry about the water filling the pan and spilling out on the floor through my neglect, but anxious, wondering where we would put our food when the ice house was empty. And the fall dragged on. The leaves had turned, fallen, were raked up and FOR SALE

our feet hit the floor, the nice fall days were over. It would just be a matter MARY of time before winter would close in COOK around us. But February, which was usually the month Father took ice from the river, was still months away. Memories I worried every day that we would run out of ice, our food would spoil and my entire family would either die burned. And each day was sunny and of starvation or food poisoning. But Father didn’t seem to be that worried. warm but with frosty nights, telling us soon we would be blocked in with He, as always, had a solution ... one that had been used on that farm for drifts of snow and impassable roads, but cutting ice in the river still a long three generations. Out in the summer kitchen was an way off. Mother, I knew, was worried. More than once she said to my sister old table that held cans of paint, bits Audrey, “Take the smallest blocks of and pieces of wood, and other things which didn’t seem to have a home. ice first.” Father moved it to the centre of the And then suddenly the weather floor, took four empty tin cans, filled changed.

was assured by Father that no mouse could climb a table leg over a can of coal oil. And so leftovers were wrapped in wax paper, then in many layers of the Renfrew Mercury, and taken out to the summer kitchen, where they either froze or were kept well chilled until used in a meal. No longer did we have to worry about running out of ice from the ice house. There were still a few blocks left for chipping into a glass of well water, but the big oak Barnett lay idle, its shelves empty, but its big door left ajar to air out until once again, it would be filled with a block of ice from the Bonnechere. Father was right. If you use your head, there is a solution for just about everything. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?
