Tourism Innovator of Year award for ‘Escape the Diefenbunker’ By John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
A provincial tourism award has come to Carp. The 2017 Ontario Tourism Award of Excellence for Tourism Innovator of the Year has been won by the Diefenbunker in partnership with Escape Manor Inc. for their “Escape the Diefenbunker” escape room. The Ontario Tourism Awards of Excellence recognize tourism industry successes by honouring organizations and individuals who have made significant contributions to tourism in the province. They honour the best in tourism attractions in various categories. These awards are presented jointly by Attractions Ontario, the Culinary Tourism Alliance, the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partner Corporation and the Tourism Industry Association of Ontario. One of the categories of these awards is the Tourism Industry Awards of Excellence which go to organizations, businesses and individuals that represent quality and outstanding offerings that make Ontario a destination of choice. These awards for 2017 were presented at a gala evening at the Scotiabank Convention Centre in Niagara Falls on Tuesday, Nov. 7. It was in March 2016 that the Diefenbunker Museum and Escape Manor partnered to launch the world’s largest escape room “Escape the Diefenbunker.” It took in one entire floor (25,000 square feet) of the former Cold War bunker that is now a National Historic Site and a museum. This escape room at the Diefenbunker was an instant success, selling out its first six months
within days. It continues to be popular, with an “Escape the Diefenbunker” wait list Facebook group currently at more than 600 members and an email wait list with 1,000 subscribers. This “Escape the Diefenbunker” is considered an example of how museums can partner with a content provider to use the museum space in a way that attracts new audiences while offering an exciting new experience. Bernard Proulx, president of the Diefenbunker’s board of directors, gives credit for the Diefenbunker receiving this 2017 provincial tourism award to the museum’s staff. “This award is the culmination of hard work by dedicated staff and yet another example that we have a great museum with great programs and vision,” he says. Steve Wilson of Escape Manor, the Diefenbunker’s partner in this escape room attraction, said that Escape Manor is both “humbled and thankful” for receiving this Tourism Innovator of the Year award for its “Escape the Diefenbunker”: Canada’s Cold War Museum attraction in partnership with the Diefenbunker, adding that Escape Manor is both proud and excited by this provincial recognition. Escape Manor is expanding into the Toronto and Hamilton areas, so such provincial recognition comes at a good time. In the “Escape the Diefenbunker” escape room, a team of 12 participants must work together within 60 minutes to save the world from nuclear attack and escape the Diefenbunker. Here’s the story line: You are on the final guided tour of the day when you and your friends duck into a room and hide so that you can spend a night at the museum. You soon discover that

it is not a museum but actually a cover for an enemy spy organization. You overhear people talking behind closed doors of an imminent attack scheduled for that night. You must escape, first by finding the communications room, stopping the launch sequence and then phoning a Red Alert message to the outside world before it is too late. This partnership has attracted new audiences for both the Diefenbunker and Escape Manor and has resulted in a lot of fun for participants who get to save the world from a nuclear Armageddon in a Cold War bunker. The publicity and media coverage received from launching this “Escape the Diefenbunker” escape room has resulted in an attendance increase for the museum, as well as for Escape Manor. The Diefenbunker saw a 22 per cent increase in visitors in 2016 over 2015, with 10,097 of the 75,066 visitors experiencing the escape room. For Escape Manor, the partnership with the Diefenbunker on this escape room has led to a new additional partnership with the Museum
Whisky tasting Special to the Review
You can celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday while enjoying one of Canada’s most renowned products — Canadian whisky. This is going to happen at the sixth annual Whisky Tasting Fundraiser which is being held on Saturday, Nov. 18 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at
of Nature. The Diefenbunker is a four storey, 100,000 square foot underground bunker in Carp, built between 1959 and 1961. During the Cold War, it was intended to house 535 Canadian government and military officials in the event of a nuclear war. It served as Canadian Forces Station Carp until 1994. Today it is a not-for-profit charitable museum which offers tours and programs at the site. Construction of the Diefenbunker over the course of 18 months was the first recorded use of critical path construction methodology in Canada. The site began in operation in 1962 and remained in service until decommissioned in 1994. During those years it also served as the site of Canadian Forces Station Carp with a staff of up to 150 persons working on a 24-hour shift rotation. The Diefenbunker was given National Historic Site status in 1994 and remained empty until the museum was founded in 1998.
the Diefenbunker Museum in Carp. It promises to be a multisensory experience involving five different Canadian whiskies along with five epicurean food pairings. You will get to sample some of Canada’s most exquisite whiskies. And to add to your pleasure, master sommelier Geoffrey J. Skeggs will be on hand to provide information on how various influences determine the distinct characteristics in particular whiskies, the im-
portance of aging and the process of maturation. Those considering attending are reminded that there’s only eight tickets left as of Nov. 13. Tickets are $90 per person or $170 for a couple. A table of eight is available for $650. There will be no tickets available at the door. Tickets can be obtained on Eventbrite. In addition, you can arrange for payment by cheque or cash by contacting t.champion-demers@diefenbunker.ca.
Constance Bay dancer off to Dance World Cup in 2018 Special to the Review
Submitted
Acro dancer Calli Macdonald forms a pyramid with the help of her coach Tasha Coulter and her mother Melissa Demers on the beach at Constance Bay. Calli will be travelling to Spain in 2018 for the Dance World Cup.
An 11-year-old competitive acro dancer from Constance Bay will be competing at the Dance World Cup in Silges, Spain, in June 2018. Calli Macdonald, representing Canada, will be one of over 12,000 competitors from 47 countries who will be at this all-genre dance competition, considered the best of such world competitions for youth and young adults. To help cover some of the travel and training costs associated with this overseas trip for both Calli and her coach, Tasha Coulter, they have several fundraising initiatives planned or underway. Any support that can be given to these fundraising initiatives will be most appreciated. On Saturday, Nov. 25, Calli and Tasha will be hosting a circus-themed party for children aged two to eight years old at the West Carleton School of Performing Arts on Dunrobin Road. Cost is only $10 per child. Participants will have lots of fun on the tumble track, aerial hoop and silk. There will even be some stunting fun. On Thursday, Dec. 28, Calli and Tasha will be available to pick up your Christmas bottles, including empty beer and wine bottles, as well as any other glass bottles that are empty. Calli and Tasha are also selling Pizza Delight pizzas. These will be provided frozen; the only action needed is to put them in the oven for 20 minutes and then enjoy them. Order forms are available on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Calli-and-Tasha-DWCSpain-857035627804504. In addition, Calli and Tasha have a GoFundMe page at https://www.gofundme.com/team-canada-acroworld-cup. Calli, who is a Grade 6 student at St. Michael Catholic School in Fitzroy Harbour, is an acro dancer. As an acrobatic dancer, she studies many circus arts including acro dance, stunting and aerials. However, she also studies other dance genres such as ballet, jazz and contemporary.
She trains most of the year at the Kali Andrews Dance Company, as well as at the West Carleton School of Performing Arts. Last summer, she attended a three-week professional training program at the Quinte Ballet School. The previous two summers, she attended École Nationale de Cirque camps in Montreal. Calli has been dancing from a very young age. In fact, her first stage experience was when her mother, Melissa Demers, who is a dancer and dance studio owner, was on stage when she was eight months pregnant with Calli. Calli has also been taking dance classes since she could walk, growing up surrounded by dance. She has developed a love for dance, but has a real passion for acrobatics. Her acro dance is often recognized for its physicality and artistry. See AWARDS, page 30

Licence plate scanners make city’s roads safer
T
he city’s police force is seeking a budget increase that’s drawing some questions, but there’s one piece of equipment for Ottawa cops that should be a slam dunk. The police would like a second automated licence plate reader. Considering that the first reader used by our police caught 200 suspended drivers in its first year of operation, it’s a purchase everyone should support. The only people who might say otherwise are those caught driving when they shouldn’t be. The automated readers are mounted on police vehicles and “see” licence plates that pass nearby. The reader can check the plate number in a database and alert officers if a suspended or wanted driver may be on the road. It’s a privilege to drive, and police aren’t using the plate readers to track anyone’s movements, just taking a snapshot of a car at one
point in time. The process is not like a facial recognition scanner on a street, which could track who is where. That would never meet with Canadians’ support. The plate scanners do nothing more than a police officer could do with his or her own eyes and a laptop – just much faster. Keeping suspended drivers off the streets means we’re all safer. The next suspended driver caught could be a serial drunk driver – or any other driver who is motoring around town without liability insurance. The city nabbed 200 suspended drivers during the first year using a plate reader. While some may be purely administrative scofflaws, some will have been suspended drivers we don’t want behind the wheel. Without even knowing such a plate reader is out there on our streets, we’re all safer because of it. The police should take advantage of technology when it can make us safer while leaving us our freedoms.
Hockey is a business, just in case you forgot
T
hat’s it!” somebody I know said. “I’m not cheering for the Senators any more.” That, you will know, was reaction to the Kyle Turris trade. But it could have been reaction to the Jason Spezza trade, or the Senators letting Alfie go, or the Mike Fisher trade, or letting Chris Neil go. Events like this happen every couple of years and they shake the affection of the fans. Perhaps it reflects a gap in our lives, or perhaps it’s just that we develop an honest interest in the members of the team we cheer for. Either way, it’s a wrench for many when a favourite leaves town. Interestingly, the players themselves are less affected. When interviewed, they express sorrow at having to leave the team and the town but, they add, it’s a business. Their team-mates say the same thing: Hate

When hares rise in numbers, so do their predators By michael Runtz Special to the Review
Of all the wild animals with which we share this land, none is more mysterious or seldom seen than the lynx. I recall with vivid clarity my first sighting of one of these beautiful cats. It was late August and I was walking along the Lookout Trail in Algonquin Park when suddenly I had the odd feeling that there was something in the woods to my right. I glanced over and there, not 100 feet away, was a large cat walking parallel to me. With binoculars I could clearly make out the long, black tufts adorning its ears and its grey, lithe body held up by remarkably long legs. After casually walking beside me for several minutes, the lynx came to a boulder-strewn hill and with admirable grace it effortlessly bounded up the slope and out of sight. Since then, my sightings of lynx have been brief and usually at night, all taking place in northern Ontario. This spring a few residents of Vydon Acres were thrilled to not only see but also to photograph one of these beautiful cats in their neighbourhood. Then over the past couple of months there have been no fewer than three different sightings of Lynx in Algonquin Park, all corroborated by photographs. And recently Lynx tracks were photographed very near to where the first sighting occurred. Although Algonquin contains elements of the boreal forest where Lynx are more plentiful, in addition to my encounter only a handful of sightings have been made over the years. So why suddenly have so many Lynx sightings been reported this fall? It may well be the answer lies in
the status of a very different animal, the snowshoe hare. Although lynx eat a variety of animals including red squirrels, beavers, mice and voles, their mainstay is the snowshoe hare. Hares go through dramatic population cycles on roughly a 10 to 11-year basis. The year after a peak in their population comes a dramatic crash in their numbers. It takes a few years before the hares start to rebuild their populations, but

spin in their population. Thus, it is possible that the remarkable number of sightings in Algonquin Park involve lynx moving down from the north in search of food. Lynx remain one of my most sought-after animals to see and record on camera, so I will be heading to Algonquin at my first opportunity. Perhaps I’ll get lucky and finally fill a major gap in my photo library. Indeed, I would dearly love to photograph the missing lynx. The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca

when they do they steadily increase with an exponential growth experienced in the years prior to the next crash. When hares begin to rise in numbers, so do their predators, especially lynx. But because the rise in their population lags about a year behind that of the hares, lynx are still numerous during the year of the hare crash. So to find food lynx begin to wander over greater distances, with some travelling more than 1,000 kilometres. Last year was a bumper year for hares in the North, and they may well be on a downward
Slater Street and Bronson Avenue Environmental Assessment Study The City of Ottawa is conducting an environmental assessment (EA) to evaluate design alternatives for Slater Street between Empress Avenue and Bronson Avenue and for Bronson Avenue and Commissioner Street between Albert and Slater streets. The EA process will involve developing, assessing and evaluating alternatives, leading to a Recommended Plan to improve pedestrian circulation, cycling facilities, traffic circulation and access to adjacent properties. This study will follow the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) for a Schedule “C” project, undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act.
Metroland Media, Ottawa Division, is proud to bring you the 2018 Canine Heroes calendar. Part of the proceeds go to the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Albert and Slater Streets Functional Design Study The City of Ottawa is studying Albert Street, Slater Street and the Mackenzie-King Bridge between Empress Avenue and Waller Street. The study will explore opportunities to improve walking, cycling, transit and general traffic along these streets by reallocating existing Transitway lanes after the O-Train Confederation Line opens in 2018. The study findings will contribute to the City’s planned integrated road reconstruction west of Bay Street and for interim roadway modifications east of Bay Street.
Your participation in the Open House is an important part of the study where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. Comments are welcome throughout the EA process and will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Keeping a log house warm during the winter
W
atching Mother get the house ready for the cold blasts of winter, told me that soon the fields would be blanketed with snow as far as the eye could see, and a path would lead us to the barns and the pump in the yard. The long underwear and navy blue fleece-lined bloomers would be ready to replace the flour bag underpants we wore. But Mother, after coming from New York City, to a log house with no amenities, soon found out it took more than the heat from the Findlay Oval to keep the house warm during the long winters. First, she took the rag bag from behind the kitchen door, cut long strips from ragged underwear no longer fit to wear and laid everything out on the kitchen table. Then with a kitchen knife, she stuffed every window frame in the kitchen, so that not a breath of air could
come in, while preventing heat from going out. When she finished, the window looked like it had been wrapped for Christmas. Bed sheets would be replaced with flannelette, which I thought were more than a step up from the four flour bags sewn together. Mother would bring in from the summer kitchen the same four bricks that had been stacked out there since spring, and they would be put on the back of the cook stove after supper had been cleared away so that by the time we went upstairs to bed, they would be hot...too hot to handle, so would be wrapped in newspaper and then in a towel. Just before we crawled into bed, Mother would put the hot bricks in our beds. Sometime through the night, and I could never catch her at it, my sister Audrey with whom I shared the bed, would remove the bricks when they had lost their heat, and in the morning I would see them stacked

at the stair step to be taken back down to the kitchen. And when it was obvious that winter was here to stay, the parlour, the smallest room in the house, would be closed off. A braided rug would be rolled and placed on the floor tight to the door to keep the precious heat in the kitchen. The parlour would only be opened if it was our turn to host the Saturday night party, when hopefully enough heat from the kitchen would warm it up before neighbours moved in to play euchre. With no foundation under the house, the floors were always cold and drafty. Aunt Bertha, our next door neighbour, showed Mother how to make simple felt slippers, which were really only two pieces of felt held together with blanket-stitching, but helped a little. But when we sat around the old pine table at night, we each had our own cushion to put under our feet as well.
Congratulations to Todd Nicholson I am happy to announce that Ward 5 resident Todd Nicholson has been inducted into the Order of Ottawa and will be honoured at a ceremony at City Hall on November 16.

West Carleton-March highlights in Budget 2018 A breakdown of budget items that directly impact West Carleton-March has been prepared for easy reference. The PDF document can be reviewed on my website (eliel-chantiry.ca). It is located under the “Latest News” section of the home page.
A three-time Paralympic medalist winning gold in 2006, silver in 1998 and bronze in 1994, Todd Nicholson represented Canada as a member of Canada’s National Sledge Hockey Team. He won eight medals at the world sledge hockey championships. From 2013 until April 2017, he served as Chairman for the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Athletes’ Council and has been involved in planning and administering the Games from 2012 through 2018. He was named Team Canada’s Chef de Mission for the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games. He was inducted to the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame in 2014. Mr. Nicholson and his wife now devote their free time to building The Abilities Centre Ottawa, a centre that aims to create an inclusive recreational facility for people of all abilities.
Father, of course, never complained about the cold house. At night he sat in the rocking chair by the stove, with his feet on the oven door. His long combination underwear served as his pyjamas, and hand-knit sox from Mrs. Beam left his feet only when Mother forcibly removed them from his feet to add them to the Monday wash. When the serious blasts of winter finally came to Northcote, the pine table, which at other times sat in front of the window looking out to the grape arbour, was moved out from that wall, more into the middle of the kitchen when we had our meals, or after supper when we sat around it involved in the amusements that helped us wile away the time before we climbed the stairs for bed. The kitchen, the biggest room in the house, would be as warm as toast in the evening. I knew before he went to bed, Father would stoke the Findlay Oval, wait for it to catch so we wouldn’t have a flu fire, and as winter closed in around us, everything that could be done, had been done to help us through the bitterly cold winters of Renfrew county.

Six homes and a church, all decorated for Christmas, will be featured in the Anglican Parish of Huntley’s Christmas House Tour. Each home is partnered with a florist who will add the Christmas decor to the home. Members of the congregation will decorate St. John’s Church on Donald B. Munro Drive, which was built in 1885. Look for the 130 feet of fresh cedar garland which will form part of these holiday decorations in the church. One of the homes is an 1875 farm home that in its past hosted balls. In contrast, there is a slab-on-grade minimalist home built in 2016 that is also on the tour. Those on the tour will also be able to drop into the Anglican parish hall on Carp Road near the fairgrounds for a coffee and cookie break. While there, there will be a chance to enter a draw to win some fabulous door prizes. This Christmas House Tour is happening on Saturday, Nov. 25 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. What a great way to get into the Christmas spirit and also pick up some unique decorating ideas.

Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton
Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Visits on Veterans’ Week It was an inspiring week meeting and speaking with some many people about service to our great country. I started the week off with a visit to Kanata Academy where I spoke with students, grades K-12, about the meaning of Remembrance Day and the importance of thanking our veterans for their service & sacrifice. I then joined Venta Preparatory School’s Remembrance Service where students read a variety of poems and held a moment of silence. I had the pleasure of speaking to students at Encounters With Canada’s “War Time Meal,” as they learned about what service means to Canadians. It is important for young people to remember the sacrifices our veterans have made for our freedom and democracy. I was thrilled to join 429 ‘Bison’ Squadron in Trenton for their 75th Anniversary. We should all salute the men and women of the Canadian Forces - past and present - who have served with unparalleled bravery and selflessness. We are all so very proud & so very grateful.
Remembrance Day
On November 11th, I had the honour of marching in the Kanata Remembrance Parade and laying a wreath during the ceremony on behalf of the Government of Canada. It was great to meet and chat with so many thankful Canadians at the Kanata Legion reception. Thank you Kanata Branch 638 of the Royal Canadian Legion for organizing the events. I urge all Canadians to seek out our veterans and serving members of the Armed Forces, as well as their families, and tell them how grateful you are for their sacrifice. Lest we forget.
Cisco Canada President Visits Kanata I was thrilled to visit Cisco’s Research & Development site in the Kanata Tech Park and welcome Rola Dagher, the Canadian President of Cisco Canada, to Kanata. I was inspired by the hard work and innovation being carried out by members of our community, specifically in the realm of cybersecurity. Thank you for having me!
Keep Ottawa Warm As the cold weather sets in, we must remember those in our communities who will be the most affected. I have joined the #KeepOttawaWarm campaign by placing a donation box outside my office door at 555 Legget Drive, Suite 121, for anyone to come by and donate their winter clothing. Donations will go to the Ottawa Mission, Shepherds of Good Hope, and Cornerstone Housing for Women. Please consider donating some clothing so that everyone can keep warm.
Town Hall – Thursday November 16 Our next “Let’s Talk” takes place tonight, on Thursday November 16th, 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.
Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all.

Flight book tells wartime story of Jimmy Munro Special to the Review
Jimmy Munro was one of those who never returned from the Second World War. Indeed, although he learned how to fly an aircraft and was an ace pilot, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross, he had never learned to drive a car. Jimmy was one of the West Carleton war veterans whom Jorgen Jensen told about in a presentation at the most recent breakfast of the West Carleton Men’s Ministry group. His flight book which recorded all of his training and combat flights provided an outline of Jimmy’s service. His flying started in September 1941 and the flight book showed his progress in training on different planes. In August 1942, his flying was judged “above average” after being ranked as just “average” before that. Even by September 1942, a year after his flight training began, he was still training and had seen no combat operations as yet. But this would change as Jimmy became, as Jorgen explained, one of the best pilots in the Royal Air Force. His first tour involved 30 bombing flights. This was followed by a second tour of 15 flights and he was in his third tour of 15 flights when he went missing on a bombing mission over Berlin. This was on his 57th bombing mission in November 1943. He was just 20 and a half years old when he died as he was 19 years old when he started flying. The flight book shows that he went on a low level bombing operation in September 1942 and by December of that year, he was piloting a four-engine Lancaster bomber. The flight book shows that in January 1943 while flying a Lancaster over Hamburg, the plane was hit six times by enemy fire and yet the plane made it back to England. In February 1943, he returned to England on just three engines. The flight book has Jimmy recording missing comrades on bombing missions. In June 1943, 25 did not come back from one mission and 43 were missing after another mission. Jorgen pointed out that in August and September 1943

Jimmy was no longer writing down in the flight book about the missing in various missions. Jorgen proffered that this indicated that Jimmy had been affected by his war experience, probably because he would have known many of those comrades who went missing. September 1943 found Jimmy flying on bombing missions over Berlin and it was on a mission on Nov. 22 that he went missing over Berlin. Jorgen noted that this young man gave up his life in the war, never making it to 21 years of age. His mother and father received his Distinguished Flying Cross for him.

He called Jimmy a great young man and said that because of the wartime exploits of Jimmy and those like him, the world is like it is today. “I stand on these guys’ shoulders,” he said in praising their wartime deeds and how they played a part in creating today’s world. Jimmy Munro was not the only West Carleton veteran talked about by Jorgen in his presentation. There was Bill Munro who served in the Second World War on a U.S. navy destroyer escort. There was Doug Dixon who joined in June 1943 and served on a 900-sailor battleship all over the globe, loading shells into a shipboard gun. He witnessed suicide bombers in the Sea of Japan. There was Tom Loton, who joined in 1939 with his brother and served as a medic throughout the war. As a medic, he looked after the sick and wounded, up to 150 patients a day. He did not see his son for the first six years of the son’s life as he was born after Tom went overseas, not to return for six years. There was Mary Baird, who became Jack Lougheed’s wife, who joined in March 1944 and served as a wireless operator. Her family operated a general store in Fitzroy. There was Jack Lougheed who was in attendance at the Men’s Ministry meeting and gave some personal thoughts about wartime Britain. He said that he has great respect for the British who hung on and withstood German bombing until the Americans and Russians entered the war and eventually turned the tide in the war. Jack trained as a pilot but was not sent overseas to Britain until later, after serving in reconnaissance in the Maritimes. Jorgen also told about Jimmy MacHardy who enlisted for service in the First World War in 1915 when he was just 15 years old. He saw service in France where he was injured and spent time in a hospital.
His letters home to his family are an “amazing time capsule of what goes on in war,” Jorgen said. This includes getting hit by a gas attack and shooting a pair of Germans in a bayonet charge. The letters home show Jimmy always talking about the farm and cows, an attempt to try to reconnect with normal life according to Jorgen. Jimmy MacHardy also served in the Second World War, signing up in November 1939 at the Renfrew Armoury. He went on to look after prisoners of war at Petawawa, leaving his wife to look after the farm and their three children. Later, when Jimmy was stationed in the Niagara area to guard a hydro plant, his wife took work in a nearby canning factory to be closer to him. Their son Donald, when he was 16 years old, joined the military and in December that year was sent overseas to Britain. The mother never saw her son for the next four years. Jorgen also told about the wartime experiences of his parents, Benny and Else Jensen who were youngsters in Denmark when the Germans invaded in April 1940. The German invaders were mostly teenagers and old men. The Germans wanted Denmark for use of the port of Copenhagen and for its food production. Jorgen’s father, only a teenager, worked with the underground, serving as a lookout in a church tower. His mother, who was only ten years old, learned to never ask the names of kids with whom she played. That’s because if the name was Jewish, it would be expected by the Germans that she would tell them about such a Jewish person. Jorgen’s mother did see train loads of people being taken out of the country but did not know their composition or destination. After the war, Jorgen’s father joined the British army and served in Egypt.

New walkway makes reading garden more accessible Special to the Review
The reading garden at the Carp branch of the Ottawa Public Library is now more accessible than ever. This is thanks to a Canada 150 project this year initiated by the West Carleton Garden Club, in which a walkway was installed to join the front of the library to the reading garden at the rear. The West Carleton Garden Club established a committee to link the front of the library to the reading garden via a walkway joining the two areas. This committee consisted of Donna Christie, Denise Burnham and Donna Caldwell. The objectives of the project were to provide access to the reading garden from the front of the library; to beautify the existing arbour with planting areas around each of the 12 posts, which would include trellises installed on the posts with vines planted; to encourage members of the community to walk around the library building, to make use of the garden area; and to facilitate better access to the garden for those with mobility issues. Last summer, a garden tour was held to raise funds for the project. This funding was augmented by a grant from the City of Ottawa and funds from the library that were raised at the annual Diefenbooker Classic. In the spring, asphalt and patio stones were removed, the land was graded and drainage pipes were installed. A five-foot wide pathway of interlocking stone was built to join the front of the library to the rear, where the reading garden is. A river wash stone strip now lines the path along the wall of the library and planters were built at the base of the 12 posts that line the outer side of
the pathway. Grass seed was planted around the curbed gardens, down the path where the asphalt had been and down over the culvert to the reading garden. The West Carleton Garden Club has now added 12 pieces of metal lattice with spacers to the posts. Seven Englemann ivy and four Sweet Autumn clematis have been planted, with mulch placed around each vine. It was back in 1995 that the West Carleton Garden Club accepted an invitation from the library to contribute toward the landscaping of the new Carp library branch that was to be built at the Diefenbunker site. This is in keeping with the mandate of horticultural societies generally to make a contribution to the community and to be involved in public plantings. In the year 2000, a reading garden was established at the rear of the library building, consisting of three groves of trees and two trellises with seating areas — all designed by horticultural author and gardener Trevor Cole. The reading garden also includes a number of benches, an octagonal picnic bench on paving stones and a large boulder with an identifying plaque. Since then, two peony beds, some shrubs and some memorial trees have been added to the reading garden. Members of the West Carleton Garden Club maintain this reading garden. For this Canada 150 project for a pathway link from the front of the library to the rear reading garden, the West Carleton Garden Club appreciates the guidance and help received from City of Ottawa West CarletonMarch Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, as well as the support of the rural affairs office of the city and Geraldine

Artists Info artist of the year on 2017 Red Trillium Studio Tour by jake davies
jake.davies@metroland.com
The world of art has changed dramatically over the 21st century. With a global market, you have to work to find your audience West Carleton’s Maciek Peter Kozlowski said. But on Nov. 25 and 26, you can just go straight to the artists of West Carleton’s homes. The Red Trillium Studio Tour, in it’s 18th year, is set to showcase the many talented artists of West Carleton with their semi-annual, self-guided tour. Kozlowski, who was named the Global Artist Guide Artist of the Year this November, is one of artists on the tour that will be sharing his work and his work space with guests over the studio tour weekend. He says being an artist in West Carleton can be a challenge. “Being an artist here, you really have to go out and look globally,” he told the West Carleton Review.
“It’s changed over the years. You can really reach the whole world so much easier, you don’t have to have a gallery. You can get some exposure and traction that even 10 years ago was pretty hard.” Kozlowski has been a multi-discipline artist for more than 30 years. He says he is living the Canadian dream. “You’re successful all over the world and you’re known in Canada,” he said. “What goes unsaid is you get to live in Canada, which in my opinion is the greatest country in the world.” It is his hard work that has got him notice outside of Canada to the point of being named artist of the year by Artists Info, an award-winning global artist guide showcasing more than 750 artists and their original art from around the world. Artist of the Year prize is a juried event judged and sponsored by Daler-Rowney, one of the United Kingdom’s most established art materials suppliers.
“It’s about the work,” Kozlowski said of the honour. “I’ve never even met these people.” Kozlowski says getting that global audience is key to being a successful West Carleton area artist. “There’s a lot of great talent around here, but we’re kind of in the Witness Protection Program here,” he said. This year’s studio tour will have nine stops around Carp, Dunrobin, Woodlawn and Kinburn. Kozlowski always enjoys being a part of the tour and says the tour will be in part, an unveiling of his fall collection. Kozlowski likes to work in several different disciplines. “I work in collections,” he said. “I will maybe create a dozen pieces with the same themes, in the same style and medium. I’ll keep going until I’m done with that theme and then I’ll curate out of those works to make a collection.” Kozlowski has done landscape, abstract, portraits, sculpture, assembly

This is about the 10th time he has been part of the Red Trillium Studio Tour. “It’s a great opportunity for artists to show in their house, in their community,” Kozlowski said. “The calibre is very good. Coming to our homes is a

Since its inception several years ago, the network of snowmobile clubs have been active partners with local municipalities to make the trail a reality and pledging to assist in the creation and maintenance of the trail. WCSTA president Scott Hamilton says the grant announcement is great news, for not just the snowmobilers in the area, but all snowmobilers. “The benefit is it allows us to connect our trails,” Hamilton said of the grant announcement and bridge repairs. “Number One, it make our trails safer. It will get us off the roads and out of the ditches. But it will connect us from Smith Falls to Mattawa. We’ll spend money and be able to enjoy the sport. We’re very excited about it.” This grant will help enhance two key bridges in Carleton Place. Hamilton attended several OVRT pub-

16 West Carleton Review - Thursday, November 16, 2017
“We were just trying to build up those relationships and keep moving forward,” Hamilton said. “There’s a real partnership going on.” Hamilton says the pastime and the club is growing in West Carleton. There are now 940 WCSTA members, up from 600 three years ago. The Carleton Place bridgework is expected to be completed this fall. Meanwhile, Lanark County council has agreed to begin working on two bridges in Pakenham. Hamilton says there is a bridge in Almonte that needs repair and the combined snowmobile associations are looking for a grant to help them with those repairs. Hamilton says the WCSTA is also very hands on with trail upkeep. “That’s what we stepped up to do,” he said. “We truly believe this is a trail for all groups to enjoy and this is how we’ll help the county.” The WCSTA is providing volunteer work such as brushing, trail maintenance and signage and has already provided 1,000s of man-hours of free labour. The WCSTA is an amalgamation of the former West Carleton and Pakenham snowmobile clubs which took place roughly 30 years ago. The WCSTA manages trails from the edge of Almonte to White Lake, Arnprior, Constance Bay and Carp approximately 270 kms in length. Hamilton says there are about 33,000 kms of trail in Ontario and most of them connect somewhere. While the grant announcement is good news, Hamilton says there is still lots of work to be done on the OVRT and “working together is the best way to get things done.”

Remembrance ceremony at Venta Preparatory School By john curry john.curry@metroland.com
As a member of Canada’s Special Forces, he could not be photographed showing his face nor could he be named in any account of the Remembrance ceremony at Venta Preparatory School at Carp on Nov. 9. But there were no restrictions on reporting on the message which he delivered to the assembled students and some parents. It was a message of optimism, of helping others, of pursuing dreams. Joining the military to see the world but also to help out people, he told the students that the purpose of war, at the end of the day, is peace. He told how whether it was in Bosnia or Afghanistan, people in the street asked him for just one thing — for help. He said that the best weapon of a soldier is the ability to talk and communicate, as this will
help resolve a problem. He urged the students to pursue their dreams, whether it is to be prime minister or to play in the National Hockey League. He told them to pursue their lives to the maximum, something that is possible because Canada’s armed forces are there to protect the country. But he also advised the students that a person cannot do anything on his or her own, adding that a person needs support from family and friends around them in order to pursue any dream. He also urged the students to be good to others and also be good to the world, i.e. the environment. He reminded the students that on Remembrance Day, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we remember those who have died or who have sacrificed in some way so that Canadians can enjoy the freedom that they enjoy today.

KCA working with a skeleton crew by jake davies
jake.davies@metroland.com
The Kinburn Community Association (KCA) is strong financially, but could use a bit more elbow grease. The KCA shared this information at their annual general meeting held Nov. 5 at the Kinburn Community Association. It was a great year for the KCA, but it took a lot of work from a small group of people to make it happen. KCA president Alex Lesnick spoke with the West Carleton Review on Nov. 8 about the meeting and the year that was. “The size of the board has definitely dwindled over the years,” Lesnick said. “We’re basically at the bare minimum to keep being an active board.” The board is down to five members with room for seven or eight. Three long-serving members “who worked so hard for Kinburn,” stepped down this year, while Karen Matt was “welcomed back” to the
board at the meeting. Lesnick said Matt “heard we were low on volunteers,” and stepped up. Lesnick is serving the second of her two-year term and has lived in the Kinburn community for three years. “We’re actively seeking more people to help take some of the load off,” she said. Lesnick says the volunteer board is responsible for, not only hosting community events throughout the year, but the rink, the maintenance, contracts and managing those contractors, various user groups and supplies. Lesnick says attendance at the meeting was a good sign for the future. “It was lightly attended, but up from last year,” she said. Coun. Eli El-Chantiry was unable to attend, but a city of Ottawa staff member was in attendance on his behalf. Those in attendance heard good financial news for the KCA.
The association has a little more than $17,500 in the bank. Costs related to the building and grounds maintenance for 2017 were totalled at $57,512.64. Much of this cost is paid through city grants. “Overall, our financial results this year we’re fairly consistent with the previous three years,” Lesnick said. “We’re seeing a definite increase in the number of hall rentals, which therefore increases our bar revenue, so we’re hoping that this next year will result in greater profit that we can put back in to the Centre for updates like paint, replacement banquet tables, etcetera.” Lesnick said the association was quite pleased with the turn out at their major events this year calling the Kinburn Fun Day in June and the Corn Roast in early fall big successes. The association received “significant funding” from the city as part of the Canada 150 program in 2017 to help support the first Kin-

burn Fun Day. Lesnick says around 350 people attended. “It was the best attendance in recent history,” she said. “I am noticing a lot more families coming to Kinburn from when I moved in, and we’re trying to focus on that.” The association hopes to hold the event next year, but will need a different grant with the end of Canada 150. “It was so successful we would hate to not put it on, but we’re not in a position where we can commit,” she said. The corn roast was another popular event. “It was so well-attended we ran out of corn,” Lesnick said. Up next for the KCA is the popular Brunch with Santa which will be held Sunday, Dec. 3 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Santa will be taking requests from noon to 1 p.m. “We haven’t decided what to serve yet, but it’s sure to be yummy,” Lesnick said.

Green Custom Home of the Year.
COMING SPRING 2018 An enclave of ten homes designed by Ottawa’s premiere team of architects and constructed by the city’s leading green builder, Farmside Green is one of a kind. It takes its architectural inspiration from its unique location adjacent to the Experimental Farm, a National Historic Site that dates back to 1886. At the same time, this enticing new development looks confidently toward the future in its energy efficient design and resilient construction. Taking his cue from classic farmhouse design, architect Barry J. Hobin has created a series of singles and semis with distinctive rooflines, gable features and quietly elegant massing that says, “Welcome home.” Each model presents its own, special face to the world, while the ten homes together make up a streetscape that’s a source of renewed delight every time you view it.

MP Karen McCrimmon at Venta Continued from 19
His message was reinforced by Karen McCrimmon, the MP for Kanata-Carleton riding, who also was in attendance at this Remembrance ceremony at Venta Preparatory School. A veteran herself as a former lieutenant-colonel in the armed forces, she told the students that Canada and its soldiers try to avoid war, saying that every soldier would like to prevent war. One way to do this is by communicating, she said, both with your enemies as well as your friends. If you have a dialogue with others, you will find out that everyone is the same, wanting a good life, she said. McCrimmon noted that when she started in the military when she was 18 years old, she was a clerk, which was at that time the only job open to women in the armed forces. Now, every job is open to women, she said. She said that she has learned over the years that peace will survive only if you involve both
men and women in the process, with both buying into the solution. She advised the students to “trust your heart,” which she said will tell someone how he or she can contribute and make the world a better place. She also urged the students to remember those who have died to protect freedoms in Canada. In between the messages delivered to the students by the Special Forces soldier and MP McCrimmon, the students participated in a Remembrance ceremony which included the reciting of the poem In Flanders Fields, the reading of a poem entitled The Poppy, the playing of The Last Post and then Reveille after two minutes of silence, other class presentations, the laying of student-made paper wreaths emblazoned with the words “We Remember” at the front of the assembly room and the singing of the national anthem.

Laura soaks the pomegranate. Ashley stirs the sautéeing chicken. Gabriel measures out the pasta. Sarah puts the capers on the "fish art." Soon they will all sit down with the rest of the group to enjoy their culinary creations. On this last day of a sixweek Life Skills Food Program, many of the young chefs are in their Halloween costumes. It’s all part of a project that the Dunrobin Community Association launched three years ago to provide valuable food preparation skills for those in the special needs community. It’s so popular that there is a waiting list for the ten coveted spots each session. Recipes prepared include everything from pear and cranberry quinoa salad to creamy chicken and broccoli bow tie pasta. They’ve done California sushi boats, no-bake cheesecake bites, spaghetti and meat-
balls, orange mango bubble tea, French bread pizza and beef chow mein. Co-ordinators for the program are Tracy Taffinder, Lorraine Madore and Randy Meltzer. For this recent session, they also had the support of a high school volunteer, Nora Thompson. The cheery, relaxed and productive atmosphere is conducive to learning much needed life skills, improving fine motor skills, promoting independence and fostering a love for food preparation. Parent Lianna Koerner says she comes all the way from Orleans for this program for the opportunities it provides her son Gabriel. For Lynn Innes, it has been an inspiration to see her daughter take such an interest in meal preparation at home because of her involvement in the group. She says Ashley loves having friends over to cook with and often does the appetizers for her family on Sundays. Ashley, with a big
smile, describes the program as “happiness and love and chocolate.” Each session begins with the chefs washing their hands and putting on their aprons. Then they rotate to the various stations where they are instructed on which items they need to get from the bins to do the food preparation. Parents and the co-ordinators are at each station to provide assistance when needed. But for the most part, the young people proudly like to complete
their own tasks. At the end of the six weeks, they each are given a certificate of completion and a cookbook containing all the recipes they made, along with pictures of them at work.

Korean War veteran at St. Michael School by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
Constance Bay resident Peter Wilkins has experienced two wars. He lived through the Second World War as a child in his native England, then he was in the Korean War, serving aboard a ship in 1950 and 1951. Now 86, he was the guest speaker at a Remembrance ceremony at St. Michael Catholic School in Fitzroy Harbour on the morning of Friday, Nov. 10. He explained that observing Remembrance Day on Nov. 11 always serves as a reminder for him of Nov. 14, 1940, when the city of Coventry, where he lived, was bombed by the Germans in what has become known as the Coventry Blitz. He told how, as a nine-year-old, he was under a bed that had been moved to the parlour of the family home when this bombing happened, on a night with a harvest moon in the sky. He told the students that a bomb
dropped right across the street, blowing out the doors and windows of his family’s home. But, he escaped uninjured, being under the bed. He explained that Coventry, which is located in the West Midlands area of England, merited such bombing attention from the Germans because it was home to a number of factories that were turning out war equipment. In addition, over 4,000 homes were damaged or destroyed in this bombing onslaught. But, this bombing was not the only wartime experience for him. A 30-year navy veteran, Wilkins signed up for the armed forces when he was just 15-and-a-half years old, then went on to serve aboard a ship during the Korean War. While he was not injured in the Korean War, he explained to the assembled students that the noise he experienced from shells being shot from a shipboard gun he was helping load affected his hearing. He is now hard of hearing, he admitted, saying that many
Korean War veterans are deaf. He urged the students to remember the soldiers who died fighting in war, but he also asked the students to remember all of the men, women and children who have suffered in wartime as civilians. Wilkins, a former member of the West Carleton Legion Branch 616 and a current member of the Kanata Legion Branch 638, helped a pair of students from every class in the school lay their class-created wreaths at the front of the stage in the school gym. The ceremony saw a number of students make presentations, such as about the courage and sacrifice made by Canadian soldiers over the years, and also about why people wear a poppy at the Remembrance time of year. The ceremony included the playing of the Last Post and Reveille, along with the singing of O Canada. At the ceremony, students recited a pledge about dealing with teasing and bullying, and keeping their school a safe and fun place.
A Year to Remember at the NCC Dr. Mark Kristmanson Chief Executive Officer
It’s certainly hard to believe that after so much effort, and so much anticipation, the celebrations of 2017 and the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation are almost behind us. When I look back, I see a year of real achievement on the part of the National Capital Commission – a year when so many projects and initiatives finally came to fruition. I am particularly happy with the way we were able to work with so many individuals and organizations in the community, including the indigenous Canadians of the Capital Region, to make it such a year to remember. Never before have so many people been part of working toward our shared vision of a great 21st-century Capital. The result of these partnerships will be a real, tangible legacy of 2017. The dramatic renewal of the National Arts Centre, the opening of Canada’s new National Holocaust Monument, the remarkable MosaïCanada display in Jacques Cartier Park, the Confederation Pavilions, and the hundreds of thousands of Canada 150 tulips that will now bloom every year in the Capital are just a few examples. And, of course, we launched the new Plan for Canada’s Capital 2017-2067 – an exciting blueprint for the development of the Capital between now and Canada’s bicentennial that is the result of an unprecedented collaboration with literally hundreds of thousands of Canadians from coast to coast.

There is so much more to say about these projects, and more, and the legacy they will leave – and I invite you to learn more about them on the NCC’s website (ncc-ccn.gc.ca). Meanwhile, at the NCC we are always looking to the future, and continuing our work to build a Capital that is meaningful and inspiring to every Canadian. One priority will be tackling the challenge of deferred maintenance of the NCC’s many assets. These assets are substantial, with a value in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Looking after them all on an annual capital appropriation of just under $23 million requires sometimes-difficult choices, but I think our staff does a remarkable job maintaining it to a very high standard.
Complete Family Dental Care
Our other priorities in the year to come include advancing transformational initiatives such as the development of LeBreton Flats; the creation of new riverfront parks on both sides of the Ottawa River; the renewal of Nepean Point; the renewal of the Gatineau Park Master Plan and the NCC’s environmental strategy; and the implementation of the Plan for Canada’s Capital.

CLARK, Lorna Jean WILSON, Helen
May 11, 1926 - November 9, 2017 Unexpectedly, the evening of November 9th, after a long battle with many health issues, our dear sweet mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend Helen Wilson passed away. She lived to a ripe old age of 91, but the fullness of her life does not lessen the emotional blow upon those of us who she has left behind - we love her dearly and miss her already. One of the few comforts that we draw at this time is that she did not pass away alone, or in a hospital, but at home with those who loved her. The day of her passing was the day before her wedding anniversary and we are confident that she is now spending her anniversary with her beloved Burt Wilson. Her living loved ones include: son Duane Wilson, daughter-in-law Millie Wilson, daughter Marjorie Wilson, son Jim Wilson, daughter-inlaw Ruthann Wilson, daughter Catherine Wilson, son-in-law Terry Swaine, son Rob Wilson, brother Hugh Baxter, sister-in-law Grace Baxter, brother Maxwell (Max) Baxter, many many grandchildren, many greatgrandchildren, great great-grandchildren and countless friends that she considered loved ones. Her loved ones that have gone before her include: the late Melvin Baxter (brother), the late Henry & Maxine Baxter (brother & sister-in-law), the late Ownie & Bubbles Baxter (brother & sister-in-law), the late Florence and Lloyd Baxter (sister & brother-in-law), the late Steve Orr (son-in-law), and the late Claudette Wilson (daughter-in-law). Helen was the daughter of Annie and Thomas Baxter of Tehkummah, Manitoulin Island, Ontario. She was an exceptional woman with a heart for her family, a dignity and grace that is rare, and the strength, wisdom, fortitude, kindness and caring of a true Matriarch. Friends may join the family during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior (613-623-5194) on Tuesday evening, November 14th from 6 to 7:45 p.m. A Celebration of Life Service will be conducted in the Pilon Family Chapel on Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock. A Homecoming visitation will take place in Fairview United Church, Tehkummah, Ontario on Saturday November 18th, 2017 from 9 to 10 a.m. and where a Funeral Service will be conducted at 10 o’clock. Interment will follow at the Hilly Grove Cemetery, Manitowaning, Ontario.
(Veteran WWII) Left this earth on Tuesday morning, November 7, 2017 in her 93rd year. She leaves to mourn her much loved daughters, Donna Alfano and Wendy Grose (Harold); one sister, Lois Russett (Blyth); one sister-in-law, Donna Smith (late Ronald) and a brother-in-law Bill Johnson (late Lois). She was the daughter of the late Rev. Morrison Saunders and the late Jean Hall Taylor. Predeceased by her husband, Roland Clark; her grandson, Jason Grose; a son-in-law, Carmen Alfano; her brother, Clifford Saunders (late Muriel) and a sister, Donetta Watson (late Ronald). Also survived by several nephews and nieces and many good friends. Lorna served in the Canadian Women’s Army Corp during World War II, working in the legal section of the Army, where she transcribed many of the reports of prisoners returning from Hong Kong. After working as a teacher and a northern telephone operator, she found her place in administration at The Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital, where she remained for 38 years. Family and friends were invited to pay their respects during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Friday, November 10th from 9:15 until 10:45 a.m. A tribute to Lorna was held in the Pilon Family Chapel on Friday morning at 11 o’clock. Interment Malloch Road Cemetery, Arnprior. In memory of Lorna, please consider a donation to the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation or the Arnprior Humane Society.

Bearsaeinrs
horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may be tempted to tie up loose ends this week, but there is a lot to finish so expect things to take longer than you hoped. Focus only on one project at a time.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are anxious to go on an adventure, but you simply can’t find time in your schedule. You may just have to make it happen by turning off your devices and heading out.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Conversations with others should be kept light and easy this week to avoid any drama, Sagittarius. Delving deeper into others’ lives is the furthest thing from your mind.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your words and actions may not be matching up right now. This may be confusing to others. It may be better to just lead by example.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you are sure that your perspective will win over the crowd, you have to accept there will be some who don’t agree with you. Be gracious and don’t step on any toes.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, are your achievements isolating you from others? You may have to let someone else get some of the glory this week, if only to show your vulnerable and accommodating side.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, things have been moving along quite easily for you and you are enjoying the respite. Take all the deep breaths you can during this period of recovery.
THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

OPINION

Fergus bounces through the forest brush like a deer
T
he cattle are gone. We are a livestock-free farm. I posted on Facebook that I was sad to see them go and within minutes their new owner posted back: “They are in good hands. The move went well and they all settled in without an issue. Apples and grain for all upon arrival.” He already knows the way to their hearts. I can rest easy. With no bull in the barnyard and no cattle in the pasture, we can now wander our property freely. The Farmer and I decided to take the Ferg on walkabout. We went through the gate to the barnyard and had to coax him along on the end of the leash. The last time he went through that fence he got zapped by his wireless security collar. He has a good memory. Now he knows it’s OK to go out of his boundaries, if one of us is with him. It took him a few tries to get used to going down the driveway as well. I think at 8 months he is now old enough to know the difference.
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife We let him off his leash and he bounded across the barnyard after a squirrel, whimpering when it darted up a tree out of his reach. He stopped to pick up a dried cow patty, but dropped it immediately when scolded. “Go find a stick,” I encouraged him. We reached the edge of the forest and opened another gate. Stepping into the trees, I heard a whimper and turned to see Fergus sitting there at the gate. “It’s OK, Ferg. Good boy. Come on now.” And he gingerly stepped into the ferns. That first section of the forest was
a bouquet of fallen leaves, deer marks and porcupine poop for Fergus to discover. He leaped over tree stumps and limbo’ed under fallen branches, following one scent trail after another. The second part of the forest, closer to the creek, was less fun. I was getting snagged and scratched through my jeans by thorny bushes at every step. He didn’t complain but I imagine it wasn’t very comfortable at dog level either. Then we reached the cornfield. A section of corn about 10 feet wide had been trampled all around
the perimeter. I thought a tractor had done it, but the Farmer said no, it was wildlife. Even raccoons can bring down stands of corn quite effectively. What a mess. Fergus pointed out the little high-heeled hoof marks left behind by deer and the tiny clawed hand prints of raccoons. When we reached the creek, Fergus lost his mind. He raced down to the water’s edge, lured by the smell of frogs. As soon as he reached the water, though, he stopped short. I don’t think we have to worry about him jumping in just yet. It still takes a bit of convincing to get him to try something new. We checked out the duck blind and Fergus sat quietly watching a family quacking along the edge of the creek. When we turned to head back into the forest, however, he burst into action, running in frantic circles as fast as he could go. I think he was trying to tell us he was happy. He is off leash all the time around the house but going on walkabout is a whole other experience. The assort-
ment of smells must be quite a delight for his heightened senses. When we returned from our trail walk the Farmer decided to cut a permanent trail through the woods for us. I will look for cross-country skis so that Mina and I can enjoy them this winter. For now, the trails will give us a great walking path for Fergus so that he doesn’t get attacked by thorns anymore. He can go off-leash and enjoy all 200 acres of his property safely. We haven’t had a chance to try out the new forest pathways yet, because hunting season is now underway. There aren’t supposed to be any uninvited hunters on our property, but we aren’t taking any chances. We will have to wait a few more days until it is safe to once again venture into the forest with a doe-coloured dog who bounces through the brush like a deer. 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

RemembeRing Canada’s 150th anniveRsaRy and Ottawa 2017 By: Mayor Jim Watson As we approach the Holiday season, it is also a time to begin to say farewell to 2017 and to reflect on the incredible year our country’s 150th birthday was. Ottawa 2017 did a fantastic job at organizing and celebrating Canada’s sesquicentennial in our City, and I am thankful for the lasting memories they’ve created for residents and visitors alike. It will be impossible to forget some of the year’s events, which transformed our City, captivated our imagination and elevated Ottawa onto the international scene. Some of 2017’s highlights include the Juno Awards and Juno week, Red Bull Crashed Ice, MosaïCanada 150, the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open LPGA Tour, Mìwàte – Illumination of Chaudière Falls, Canada’s Table, the Interprovincial Picnic on the Bridge and the 105th Grey Cup and Festival. Ottawa also saw record crows in 2017. Over 250, 000 guest celebrated close to 50 nations during their national days during Ottawa Welcomes the World at Lansdowne Park. More than 325,000 people made their way underground to the future Lyon LRT station for the multimedia show Kontinuum, and got a glimpse into Light Rail Transit in our City. But the most impressive crowd we had was most certainly the 750,000 people who immersed themselves into the magic that La Machine brought to our city. LongMa and Kumo will forever be engraved into our hearts and memories, and have changed the way we see our city. We would not have been able to make 2017 the success it has been without the tremendous contributions from our funding partners CIBC, Bell, and the Governments of Ontario and Canada. I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to the amazing local volunteers who were superstars throughout the whole year – 3,000 strong! But the celebrations are not quite over yet. The month of December will be a winter sport extravaganza, with many exciting events taking place. On December 16, the Ottawa Senators will face the Montreal Canadiens at Lansdowne Park during the 2017 Scotiabank NHL100 Classic™ outdoor hockey game. This historical game marks the 125th anniversary of the Stanley Cup, the 100th anniversary of the first NHL game and the 25th anniversary of the Ottawa Senators. The following day on December 17, the Ottawa 67s will host the Gatineau Olympiques for an exciting outdoor hockey game at Landowne Park and from December 2 to 10, the best men’s and women’s curling teams from across the country compete to represent Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Tickets for these events can be purchased at www.Ottawa2017.ca. Lastly, residents will be able to taking the breathtaking views of our Parliament building while skating on an outdoor rink right on Parliament Hill from December 7 to 31, 2017. The skating rink will be free to access, and a great family-friendly activity. As we head into 2018, I want to wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and the very best for the New Year.
