Dog found shot in head in Carp expected to live Beagle will lose eye, maybe ear, following extensive reconstructive surgery BY JAKE DAVIES
jake.davies@metroland.com
Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) officials believe a dog found shot in the head in Carp will survive following extensive surgery. A white-and-sandy-browncoloured, female beagle the OHS has named Sadie Mae, was rushed to the OHS the morning of Nov. 13, after being found wandering on a trail in Carp with the wound. The dog received extensive injuries from the gunshot and is currently in the OHS’ critical care unit. The dog was found by people driving on an ATV trail behind Hidden Lake. Police rushed the dog to the Ottawa Veterinary Hospital to be stabilized and was then transferred to the OHS. Authorities are still unsure if the dog was involved in a hunting accident or deliberately shot. OHS spokesperson Lacey Thoms told the West Carleton Review on Monday, Nov. 20 surgery for Sadie Mae is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 22. “A specialist surgeon is coming in to reconstruct her skull,” she said. It is expected Sadie Mae will lose her left eye, and possibly an
ear, due to the extent of the injury, but should recover. “Sadie Mae’s surgery will be at least a few hours and she may have to have another surgery following that depending the outcome of the first surgery,” Thoms said. While the OHS hoped someone would come forward to claim the beagle, no one has yet, and no one has provided any more information on the incident. Following surgery, Thoms expects Sadie Mae will begin going through a long recovery. “Following surgery she’ll spend at least eight weeks in the critical care unit at the OHS before being spayed and having dental work done,” Thoms said. “When she’s well enough, Sadie Mae will be ready to find a new home.” “She’s a sweet and stoic dog who, with surgery and intensive treatment, has a good chance at recovery,” OHS chief veterinarian Dr. Shelley Hutchings said in a press release. Thoms said Sadie Mae is doing well while awaiting surgery. “She’s doing okay,” she said. “She’s in critical care, being monitored. She’s eating well and wagging her tail whenever anyone comes in to visit her. She’s Sadie Mae was shot in the Carp area and found near Hidden Lake. doing well considering.”

MP McCrimmon talks riding, economy in mid-term talk by jake davies
“If you look locally, Kanata is booming. There’s building going on. I think we’ve done a good job encouraging people to make investments in their businesses.” - Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon
jake.davies@metroland.com
MP Karen McCrimmon thinks things are looking strong in KanataCarleton two years in to her mandate, but there is more progress to be made heading in to the back half of her first term. McCrimmon, after a 31-year military career, recently completed her second year as a Member of Parliament. She sat down with the West Carleton Review for an interview Thursday, Nov. 16 to talk about a booming riding, the pulse of her constituents and work needing completion in the future. “I think we’re doing well,” McCrimmon said. “If you look locally, Kanata is booming. There’s building going on. I think we’ve done a good job encouraging people to make investments in their businesses.” McCrimmon say the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) signed last October will help create jobs, strengthen economic relations and boost Canada’s trade with the world’s second largest market. The agreement removes tariffs on 99 per cent of the EU’s tariff lines. “For the rural areas there’s potential there,” McCrimmon said. “We grow some really neat stuff in this riding. There’s a real

People want high quality stuff and we grow that here.” McCrimmon understands pressures are increasing on the agricultural industry with climate change, changing the way people will farm. “There are going to be challenges moving forward, but I think we’ll be able to use technology to mitigate some of those challenges,” she said. “You
need a mix of confidence, creativity and collaboration.” McCrimmon says her favourite thing to do is get out there and “meet the people” like she did at the town hall she hosted on Nov. 16 at the Kanata Recreation Centre. “She says she is hearing good things about the Liberal leadership following the Oct. 19, 2015 election. “We know the economy is doing well,” McCrim-
mon said. “There is hiring now and we haven’t had that in a while. Families have a little more change in their pocket.” McCrimmon says there has been improvements for senior care including the Guaranteed Income Supplement, Old Age Security pension and healthcare. “I think people know what we are trying to do,” McCrimmon said. While McCrimmon is pleased with that progress, she is not planning on resting on her laurels. “I think we have money in the riding to start examining what is the best way to get light rail transit to Kanata,” McCrimmon said. “I think transportation is one of the biggest issues in our riding.” McCrimmon, who earlier in the day was attending a funding announcement on a new Infrastructure to Technology funding program that will connect vehicles to traffic signal data across the city, says technology and the LRT may
improve service and save money at the same time. “Autonomous vehicles may be a boon for rural seniors,” she said. “I think isolation can really age you. It’s important to keep society inclusive and there is potential there with autonomous vehicles. “If we can get the LRT out to Kanata and continue to work on autonomous vehicles, maybe we don’t need extra lanes on the Queensway.”
ing rural service. “The City of Ottawa gets it,” McCrimmon said. “It’s going to take all three levels of government and community groups to work collaboratively to fix this.” While she hasn’t officially thrown her hat in
for the next election, McCrimmon says the riding’s workload will extend past the next election. “For sure,” she said. “We really need a longterm plan. I meet the most amazing people in my job. It’s a blessing, but there is always more work.”

If you’re suffering from nerve problems in the arms and legs, you’ll want to read….
How 85 % of Patients Eliminated Numbness, Tingling, or Sharp Pains Numbness, tingling, and pain is an extremely annoying problem. It may come and go... interrupts your sleep...and even makes your arm or legs feel weak at times. Maybe you’ve even been to other doctors and they claim all the tests indicate you should feel fine.
If You Do Nothing Else, Read This: Peripheral neuropathy occurs in about 5 millions of Canadians. Peripheral Neuropathy is a problem caused by damage to the nerves that supply your arms and legs. This painful condition interferes with your body’s ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions. Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy. Read the full facts on this page.
More Pills Are Not The Solution A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method. While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, antiseizure mediations, and anti-depressants -- all of which have serious side effects.
The Likely Cause Of Your Problem My name is Dr. Kelly Graham, clinic director at Dunrobin Family Chiropractic. I’ve been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than 18 years. Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine pressing on the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone. The good news is that chiropractic treatments have proven effective in helping to remove the pressure on the nerves.
4 West Carleton Review - Thursday, November 23, 2017
By using gentle techniques, I’m able to release the pressure that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away. Numerous people who suffer with numbness, tingling or sharp pains have chosen chiropractic’s effectiveness in helping nerve conditions. Within the first few adjustments I was able to have a full night’s rest. The pain in my neck and arm has decreased significantly and the numbness is gone!” – Debbie, 36 What these patients know is that you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems.
Could This Be Your Solution? It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic will be your neuropathy solution. For 15 days only, $49 will get you all the services I normally charge new patients $185 for! What does this offer include? Everything. Take a look at what you will receive: • An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case. • A complete set of neurological scans. • A full set of specialized x-rays to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms… (NOTE: These would normally cost you at least $100). • A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free. • I’ll answer your most probing questions about nerve problems and how chiropractic can help.
Call 613-832-3335 We can get you scheduled for your consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening. Our office is located just on Dunrobin Road beside the Post Office, just a few minutes from you. When you call, tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the Nerve Evaluation so she can get you on the schedule and make sure you receive proper credit for this special offer.
Sincerely, Dr. Kelly Graham, D.C., BSc.(H.K) P.S. Remember, you only have until December 8th to reserve an appointment at this significant discount. Why suffer for years in misery? That’s no way to live, not when there could be an easy solution to your problem.
Until December 8th, 2017 you can get everything I’ve listed here for only $49. The normal price for this type of evaluation,
P.P.S. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your arms or legs hurt – and the pain just won’t go away!
including x-rays is $185, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer.

Season is open to everyone
I
t’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year is the title of a song first released in 1963, with Andy Williams as the singer. The song, which celebrates various activities of the Christmas season, particularly being with those you love, has become a holiday standard. In these days leading up to Dec. 25, the song serves to remind us of everything we have to look forward to at Christmas time. It’s a time when at least for a while we forget all the everyday matters that seem to intrude on our daily lives, making us cynical, upset or worried about where the world is going these days. Whether it is the current sexual harassment scandals that are plaguing Hollywood and Washington, the Donald Trump-Rocket Man war of words that fearfully could lead to real war, or, closer to home, the Salvation Army emergency shelter proposal for Vanier, there’s always something to keep us worried about our world and its future. The Christmas season, though, gives us a break from these worries and concerns. The time leading up to Christmas, with its many seasonal events and activities, serves to take our minds off these issues and get us
thinking about this “most wonderful time of the year.” These weeks include a plethora of Christmas craft fairs along with parades, Santa Claus appearances, concerts and, of course, that universal pastime that consumes all of us from now to Christmas Day, shopping. In today’s multicultural society of which our Prime Minister speaks so often, some might claim that Christmas is a Christian celebration that does not fit with the many faiths and cultural groups that make up the Canada of 2017. But such a claim would be wrong because Christmas is, at its very heart, not an event per se but a feeling, a time when family and friends and good wishes toward all take over our thoughts. This is a feeling that we all can share here in Canada. So, it really is “the most wonderful time of the year,” a time when we can celebrate what is most cherished in our lives, namely family and friends, and when we can all put aside our cynicism and worries and embrace what the Andy Williams song advocates with its lyric, “And everyone telling you to be of good cheer.” The Christmas season is now underway. Let’s all enjoy it.
The Grey Cup and that hometown feeling
T
he Grey Cup still matters. The Canadian Football League has had its ups and downs over the years, including a disastrous attempt to expand into the United States. Franchises have folded. But by and large, when Grey Cup time rolls around, Canadians show up and tune in. There’s no reason to expect it to be any different on Sunday when the 105th Cup game kicks off at TD Place in Ottawa. Among those watching will be the diehard fans who have kept up their interest in Canadian football through bad times and good. They will be holding the same Grey Cup party they’ve been throwing for years. They will be joined by the people who are not quite sure who is playing, but who always watch at Grey Cup time. Add them all up and

By one measurement, about 4 million Canadians that fewer Canadians pay attention to the Grey Cup than they did in, looked at last year’s game. That’s a lot, even by Stanley Cup standards. say, 1976, when the Ottawa Rough Why do they watch, those who are Riders won the cup, or 1962, when Winnipeg won the Fog Bowl. That not serious football fans? Surely it may be true. But it’s also true that must be because they know everyfewer Canadians pay attention to one else is watching, that they are sharing a Canadian experience with any single event these days. In 1962, there were only two other Canadians. In this globalized world, how many opportunities are English TV channels.

no home computers, no internet — in general, a lot less competition for our interest. So if viewership is down, no wonder. Viewership for everything is down. Somehow, in the face of that, the Grey Cup survives, which is a major accomplishment. Communities still go out of their way to host it and show visitors a good time — well, maybe not so much last year in Toronto, but that’s an exception. It’s good to have it here. It will be interesting to see how Lansdowne Park, which has been a controversial addition to the Ottawa landscape, handles the many events leading up to the game.

Hearing about Farm’s ornamental gardens At West Carleton Garden Club meeting in Carp by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills
The Government Keeps Failing Our Students This week I voted against the Liberals back to work legislation that will force Ontario college teachers to end the College Strike. I did this because the government has failed our students by not taking measures to avoid this strike in the first place. They acted with false intentions and allowed for this strike to come about and now act as if they are saving the day. It is politics, pure and simple, the same old story. The government once again trampling on the rights of individuals so they can play hero to a crisis they had a large part in creating. I voted against this legislation because I believe in the fundamental rights that we all have, that is why I am the only person at Queens Park who stands against government encroachment on your lives and freedoms. The two sides must come to an agreed upon solution that will ensure balance, not the heavy handed force of government. Students must be appropriately compensated for what has occurred, this happened through no fault of their own and now the students must alter their own careers because of it. I have sympathy for the students and teachers, but there is a wrong way to end this strike and that is the way the Liberals and PCs want to do it.

The ornamental gardens of the Central Experimental Farm bloomed in Carp on Tuesday, Nov. 14. Granted, their numerous blooms did not arise from the Carp soil but rather appeared on the screen at the Carp Memorial Hall as Richard Hinchcliff, author of the Friends of the Farm’s Canada 150 celebration book “Blooms: An Illustrated History of the Ornamental Gardens at Ottawa’ Central Experimental Farm” and a longtime Friends of the Farm volunteer, presented an illustrated talk “Bloomers Are the Craze” which gave a taste of what is in the pages of the book. Early in the presentation, the flowers shown on the screen all appeared as blue in colour. This turned out to be a computer setup glitch of sorts which was overcome when the Powerpoint presentation accompanying Hinchcliff’s remarks was altered so that the screen presented the flowers’ true colours, albeit in a somewhat smaller format than originally planned. But blue flower colours or not, Hinchcliff’s presentation outlining the history of the Farm’s ornamental gardens from 1886 to the present and touching on the unique flowers displayed in these gardens from roses to peonies to lilies to lilacs to irises to crab apples to chrysanthemums held the attention of all those in attendance at this West Carleton Garden Club meeting. The presentation showed an 1895 poster
depicting the layout of the Farm at the time in a rather idealistic way, all part of a government initiative meant to glorify farming and attract immigrants to Canada’s west. Indeed, it was even in these early years that Ottawa residents started going to the Farm to see the gardens and plants in bloom there. An 1891 rose garden featured the Baroness Rothschild rose, a species which remains in the Farm’s rose collection today. The presentation showed an old photo showing the then-residence of the Farm’s director, “quite a stately mansion,” to use Hinchcliff’s words, located on the Farm grounds. There was a photo from around 1905 showing the ornamental gardens of the Farm in their original location near this home of the director, as viewed from the director’s home. This first director of the Central Experimental Farm was William Saunders, who had a personal interest in ornamental flowers as part of his overall “passion for horticulture,” as Hinchcliff described it. You learned from the presentation that Saunders, in setting up the Farm, established a horticulture division that focused on fruits (especially apples) and vegetables as well as forestry, shelterbelts (windbreaks of trees or shrubs) and hedges (geared to developing what would best serve Canada’s new western settlers). But Saunders’ personal favourites were ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers. It was in 1911, when Saunders retired, that the ornamental gardens were relocated from near the director’s residence to their present
location on the Farm property. One of the roses which Saunders himself bred at the Farm was the “Agnes” rose, a shrub rose which he named after his wife. But it was Isabella Preston (1881-1965), who started to work at the Farm in 1920 as a day labourer, who really enhanced the Farm’s rose collection. Indeed, when she retired in 1946, she was world famous for the many hybrid roses that she had bred and developed. This included the “Millicent” rose of 1938, a red hybrid rose. Developing roses at the Farm continued with the work of Dr. Felicitas Svejda (19202016) who began working on roses at the Farm in 1960, continuing to her retirement in the 1980s. She became renowned for developing the Canadian Explorer series of roses named after various Canadian explorers such as William Baffin, Henry Hudson and Martin Frobisher. W.T. Macoun was the first Dominion Horticulturalist who worked at the Farm for 46 years until his death in 1933. He lived in a house on the Farm property with the house demolished when he died. However, to recognize his contribution to the development of the Farm, a garden was developed in the footprint of where the house had been. This is today’s Macoun Memorial Garden where many wedding photos have been taken over the years. This Macoun Memorial Garden is looked after by volunteers of the Friends of the Farm today. See CENTRAL, page 11
Dec. 13th & 14th, 2017 Dec. 16th, 2017
Central Experimental Farm known for roses, peonies and more Continued from page 10
This follows an initiative from the Friends of the Farm and the Ottawa Horticultural Society to plant in this Memorial Garden flowers and plants from Macoun’s era. The Farm is also known for its peonies, some of which were developed by Percy Saunders, a son of the Farm’s first director William Saunders. Percy had a passion for peonies and earned a reputation as the foremost breeder of peonies in the 20th century. Hinchcliff commented that the Farm probably has the largest collection of Saunders peonies in North America. He was not the only Saunders’ son to achieve acclaim as a plant breeder. Another son Charles Saunders was the developer of the earlier maturing Marquis wheat. It was the wheat that allowed Canada’s prairies to be transformed as a wheat growing area. Charles Saunders ended up being knighted for his contributions to agriculture. The Farm also has a lilac collection including lilacs developed by Isabella Preston. The goal was to develop lilacs which could bloom successfully all across Canada. She combined a Chinese lilac with a hardy local lilac to develop such lilacs as “Fountain.” One of the projects of the Friends of the Farm has been to build up a collection of Preston heritage lilacs. In addition, the Farm has a number of French hybrid lilacs along some lilac-lined walkways. The Farm also has a collection of bearded iris. Isabella Preston worked on developing bearded iris but she apparently was not happy with the results so that none were ever released to the public. She was, though, successful with Siberian irises, naming her new irises after Canadian rivers like “Ottawa” and “Gatineau.” At one time the Farm had a collection of lilies which was a favourite plant of Isabella Preston. But this collection was dropped in the 1980s because of the appearance of the lily borer pest
which made for too much work by Farm staff to maintain the collection. Isabella Preston did work on lilies, naming the first series of lilies that she developed after stenographers in the Farm’s horticulture division while naming a second generation of lilies that she developed after British airplanes such as the Hurricane. The Farm has a rock garden which was captured on film in the 1930s. Farm volunteers are currently working to try to restore this rock garden. The Farm had a collection of mums and hosted a hugely popular mum show
following the Second World War. The mum show ceased in 1992. Mums were a particular favourite of James McKee who worked at the Farm from 1912 to his retirement in 1940. He was in charge of the greenhouses and loved to grow mums. The Farm also has a collection of crab apples that can be seen along Prince of Wales Drive today. These include Rosybloom crabapples developed by Isabella Preston. She developed a new series of crabapples, naming them after Canadian lakes such as “Erie.”
for Youth
Your monthly update on the Ottawa Senators Foundation news!
Every child deserves an opportunity to play For a child, there is nothing quite like stepping onto the ice for the first time. But for some children, those first few strides might be a little more difficult but after some practice, they start to get it. Unfortunately, whether it’s financial strain, physical challenges or social barriers many kids don’t have that chance.
That’s why the Ottawa Senators Foundation is committed to breaking down these barriers in the Ottawa area. This is the inspiration for the SENS RINK program. John Curry/Metroland
Richard Hinchcliff (left), author of “Blooms: An Illustrated History of the Ornamental Gardens at Ottawa’s Central Experimental Farm,” autographs a copy of the book for West Carleton Garden Club member Linda Thompson (right) following his presentation about the ornamental gardens at the Farm at the Club’s meeting on Nov. 14.
Safety Tips
Candles: If you use candles, make sure you keep them away from all combustible materials. Never leave them unattended and place them out of reach of young children. Candles should be placed in solid, secure candle holders and protected by a glass chimney.

To date, the Foundation has built 13 SENS RINKs (Recreational Investments in Neighbourhoods for Kids) in eastern Ontario and western Quebec. But the facilities themselves are just part of the initiative. SENS RINKS aren’t just for sports. They are community gathering spots. A place where families gather, where friendships are made and community pride is fostered. Alexander Park is one of the areas that has benefited from the SENS RINK so far. Earl Jones works closely with the community, and sees the effect of the facility first-hand.
“This SENS RINK is more than just a skating rink, it’s become a place for members of the community to come together and share their unique cultural backgrounds,” said Earl Jones, program coordinator, City of Ottawa. “Families will create lasting memories here. The SENS RINK is a gamechanger for this community.”
In addition to providing a place for kids to skate, play and discover the game of hockey, the Foundation also partnered with the City of Ottawa, Ville du Gatineau and other municipalities to deliver free or low-cost programs such as basketball, Futsal, tennis, lacrosse, summer camps and more. Many of the kids who benefit from the SENS RINKs programs may not have gotten the opportunity otherwise. Whether because of financial, geographical or social barriers, so many children experience limitations in learning the pleasure of sport. These programs provide them with the opportunity to learn new skills, such as teamwork, leadership and fair play which will open many doors down the road. Playing sports and being active provides kids with the physical, social and mental strength to set them up for success later in life. The feeling of belonging is something we all strive for, regardless of age. All kids deserve a chance to grow up knowing that they will always have a place to play.

WCSS Wolves basketball season ends in second round by jake davies
jake.davies@metroland.com
The Wolves senior girls basketball team had a strong year, but just couldn’t figure out a way to beat John McCrae in 2017. The West Carleton Secondary School team put together a great regular season going 6-2 and finishing second in the West Division of NCSSAA Tier 1 basketball. The Wolves only regulation regular season loss came to John McCrae, a school that went undefeated and won the Central Division. The Wolves played John McCrae in the second round of the playoffs on Wednesday, Nov. 15 in Barrhaven and would fall 4532 to the school that will play in the NCSSAA Championship Nov. 22 (too late for coverage in this edition).
Coach Taylor Myllari was pleased with the year and the way the team worked together. “We did have a great regular season,” she told the West Carleton Review. “I think what made us such a strong team this year was our team chemistry. The girls bonded quick and were always very supportive of one another. “I admire their dedication to the sport and how hard they worked at improving their game in every practice and game. I think that because they were willing to put in the work as individuals and as a whole unit, when they came together on the floor, they were able to bring out the best in each other. “In the end, these players gave it their all this season and did it with a smile on their faces. I think that is a true testament to their love for the game
and positive character.” The Wolves suffered an overtime loss to West Division winner Franco-Ouest and only lost to two of the three division winners by a combined 10 points. “John McCrae was the only team to beat us in regulation time this season,” Coach Myllari said. “Franco Ouest beat us in OT during the regular season. John McCrae is a very well coached team. They were respectful players and had a great all-around game. Both teams played hard all game long. The game was back and forth, and the score was within three points up until the end when it unfortunately slipped away from us. It was an exciting playoff game! I feel as though we are well matched opponents and I hope our two teams cross paths again next season.”

While the Ottawa Fury’s end-of-season gala was a time to celebrate the past, it was pretty clear that many in attendance have their eye on the future. The team hosted its annual awards gala on Thursday, Nov. 9 at Otto’s Club in TD Place. It was the last time the 2017 team and front office staff would be together as a whole. Fury players and front office staff are in consensus, 2017 was an up-and-down season that ended short of expectations. Fury president John Pugh told those in attendance that a season in which the team set the United Soccer League (USL) record for most draws at 14 “contributed to us missing the playoffs.” Addressing the players, Pugh said, “We never faulted your effort or determination.” Pugh also announced their newish head coach and general manager (GM) will be returning. “We’re fortunate to have Julian (de Guzman) for 2018,” he said. “We have tremendous confidence in Julian’s ability.” De Guzman is Canada’s most decorated soccer player. During his career, he played in one of the top leagues in the world, Spain’s La Liga. He played for the Fury in 2016, in an injuryshortened season, as team captain. De Guzman joined the front office staff at the start of the 2017 season as assistant general manager and assistant coach. De Guzman was promoted to head coach and general manager midway through the season when former bench boss Paul Dalglish stepped down. The Fury flirted with the playoffs for most of their first season in the USL, but finished out of the playoffs in the 10th spot. There were several milestones in the 2017 season, including their longest-serving player, Carl Haworth, playing in his 100th game for the club; season attendance breaking the 100,000 mark for the first time; and defeating the Toronto FC, the top team in Major League Soccer, at home during the Canadian Championship. “It was a roller-coaster,” de Guzman told Metroland Media. “It’s a great opportunity to
look back and look at the educational experience of having that opportunity to be an assistant coach under Paul. And unexpectedly, here I am as the coach and the GM. The support I have had throughout this whole process, I couldn’t be more happy with the people involved and the people I work with; the players I have who were former teammates and now carry themselves so well as professionals. For me to see the result under my guidance means a lot to me.” Last year’s experience has de Guzman excited about the 2018 season. “To see that, makes me look forward to the future and continue that model and that culture for the Ottawa Fury,” he said. “It’s a dream come true. The result at the end of the day, may not have been as the team may have wanted it, but at the end of the day, we look at it as growing pains and part of the process of becoming a successful team down the road.” The team announced the return of eight players for next year, including Haworth; Steevan Dos Santos, their leading scorer from 2017; Callum Irving, who set a club record, playing every minute of every game in 2017; and Ottawa native Eddie Edward, who returns for his third season. Also back for the club’s second season in the USL are José Enrique (Sito) Seoane, Sergio Manesio, Azake Luboyera and Jimmy Sanon. Others may return as well, as the team continues through the negotiation process. “We’re still making a decision on a couple of players that were a part of this season,” de Guzman said. “Right now the main objective is to make sure we get the right guys back for next season, and then come up with a platform that will allow us to expand and improve.” “There are some obvious areas we need to improve on; that’s pretty clear,” he said. “Steevan Dos Santos’ role, he seems to do well a lot more as a number 10. So, now it’s important we fill that role of a number 9, or a striker, and allow that attacking line to improve their goals total.” Defence is also an off-season target. “Bring in more experienced players who understand the league, but can fit in to the culture in Ottawa, and minimize the goals against,” he said. “This is another area we’d like to improve on.”

One step closer to autonomy, politicians got behind the wheel of an Audi that knows when Ottawa traffic lights are going to change, and what speed it has to travel to make that next light. Mayor Jim Watson, MP Karen McCrimmon and Coun. Marianne Wilkinson were some of the dignitaries to attend a demonstration ofInfrastructure to Vehicle technology (I2V) at Mark Motors on Thursday, Nov. 16. Audi Connected systems developer Michael Zweck hosted a demonstration showing how the technology works and what it means for urban transit. “The technology tells when traffic lights will change and will help increase safety and fuel efficiency,” Zweck said. “Drivers can anticipate red lights and navigate more easily through red lights.” The city has partnered with Transport Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation to deliver the Assisted Commercial Vehicle Eco-Driving pilot project. The project is a $300,000 oneyear initiative currently running along a six-kilometre stretch of Hunt Club Road, between Cleopatra Drive and Uplands Drive. The corridor has 12 connected traffic signals, supported by the city’s signal and traffic control system and Traffic Technology Services’ (TTS) analysis

system. These systems communicate with connected vehicles, providing information on when a traffic signal will change. The city provided a basic tablet with a system app that relays the signal information to the drivers of eco-driving vehicles, operated by Purolator and Crepin Cartage, a member of the Greater Ottawa Trucking Association. In Audi’s case, the software and hardware will be built into some of their models allowing their vehicles to gain access to traffic control system signal information when the vehicle is connected to the city’s traffic infrastructure. Purolator and Crepin completed test runs of the system last August and have been undertaking trips through the corridor to collect data for the project over the last few months. The data collection phase is now completed and Carleton University has begun analyzing the information to determine the efficiencies gained in both reduced emissions and fuel consumption, and the associated environmental and economic benefits. A final report will be provided in the first quarter of 2018. Zweck said Audi was pleased when provided with the opportunity to be a part of the project, adding that the sensors have two new “real time” functions that were not available on Audis previously. He pointed out Ottawa is the first city in Canada where all traffic lights are connected. “All the traffic lights are already connected to the traffic control centre,” he said. “The data is already there.”

To hunt or not to hunt, that is the question Y
ou don’t venture into our neck of the woods without an orange vest this time of year. The regular deer hunting season is wrapping up but muzzle loader week is about to start. We aren’t exactly hunter’s paradise like in the Muskoka region, for example. But we do have our fair share of hereditary hunters. They have grown up with it as part of their lifestyle and culture. As we are located about 15 minutes out of town, we have a fair amount of neighbours who are neither familiar nor comfortable with the sport of hunting. Those who hunt are, for the most part, respectful of those who do not wish to see hunting happening in their neighbourhood. They might hear it, but they shouldn’t see it. I find after the first few days of the hunt, if a party is not successful, they may become careless. I was taking a walk one morning a few Novembers

past, and I saw a man in orange backing up toward the road. He stood in the ditch and held his gun up to aim back into the field he had just left. I stopped just a few feet behind him. “Do me a favour,” I asked, “and don’t shoot until I’m around the corner!” You aren’t supposed to hunt anywhere near a roadway but this group probably had a dog chasing the deer out of the bush and they didn’t want the animal to make it to the road. I heard the gunshot just as I rounded the corner. Most motorists would agree they would prefer not to see a deer near the
road either. That is one of the positive effects of hunting in our region: it limits the number of animals that end up in front of a moving vehicle, risking the lives of the driver and passengers as well as the deer. Hunting is a great way to ‘naturally’ control the deer population. The rules are there for a reason, however. It is not cool to bait deer with corn or sweetfeed. You can feed them to help them last through the long, cold winter but you should not be luring them out into the open just so that you can shoot them. A true hunter gives the animal a fighting chance. It’s as though the universe has to offer the animal up to the hunter, or it just isn’t fair. We have 200 acres of mixed forest, pasture and crops. In my 10 years here I have only seen deer a few times. We have seen signs of them, when they leave their antler scratches on

the trees or paw the soft earth on the tractor lane. But you really have to know what you are looking for. I never would have found those marks on my own. These elusive animals are so good at hiding, it really is a miracle when one appears close enough to the hunter in his deer stand to actually be shot. Venison is a nice, lean meat so it’s a very healthy menu choice. Our hunter/chef prepares his venison like a roast and we often serve it with red pepper jelly or mushroom gravy. He only shoots the animal that he thinks will make a good meal. If he shoots it, we eat it. There is no trophy hunting here. The King of the Forest in his 10-point glory is safe from the Hunter and his gun. Fergus and I are looking forward to the end of hunting season for a number of reasons. The Farmer has cut a trail through the woods for us, so

we are anxious to check it out on our daily walks. It isn’t safe to go out there at the moment, however, because we have hunters on all our neighbouring properties and our doe-coloured dog tends to spring and bound like a deer. Fergus also finds the sound of gunshots to be a bit startling. He barks and demands to go outside, where he stands and stares in the direction of the shots, growling and harrumphing to himself. In deer season it’s usually only one shot, however. That’s all you get so you had better know what you are shooting at. There is one thing Fergus loves about deer hunting season. When we are finished our meal of venison, it doesn’t make a great leftover. The meat becomes a bit dried out and tough. If you wash off all the gravy and spices, however, and chop it into little pieces, it makes an excellent treat for a young Golden Retriever.

W.I. donates to Regional Cancer Foundation by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
Community Challenge for Xmas 2017 – Can you do it? Ok! It’s hard to believe but Christmas is already upon us! I know a few of you have already done your lists and maybe even your shopping but for those of you (like me) who have not even begun to think about, I have a fun challenge for you! In our world of rampant consumerism, hectic schedules and competing priorities, shopping has become a sport. And at Christmas, it is an elite sport! We are so fortunate to live in a world of so much choice. But this much choice provides challenge as well. In fact, research shows that our plethora of choices, can leave us feeling overwhelmed and more unsatisfied than if we had practically no choice at all. What???
The Lorne Sutherland Women’s Institute branch has donated $50 to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. The donation was presented at the W.I.’s meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 25, at which Stephanie Woodard, a survivorship care program co-ordinator with the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, was the guest speaker. Woodard gave an outline of the cancer coaching program developed by the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. This cancer coaching program actively engages clients in their own care
through individual and group coaching consultations with a regulated health care practitioner. A person’s health goals are identified and the coach then provides navigation, education, support, practical guidance and skills development to help the client achieve both their short and long-term goals. These cancer coaches help a client regain a sense of autonomy, improve health outcomes and enhance quality of life. Cancer coaching is open to people at all stages of diagnosis and treatment and does not require a physician’s referral. The cancer coaching program of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation is modelled on the Macmillan
Cancer Support program in the United Kingdom and the Livestrong Survivorship Centres of Excellence in the United States. When the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation began developing its cancer coaching service back in 2010, survivorship care was a relatively new concept in Canada. Now, in Canada, 63 per cent of cancer patients are expected to live at least five years post-diagnosis. Cancer coaching is designed to help all those impacted by cancer, from diagnosis through to treatment and end-of-life care, to deal with their personal changes and to overcome obstacles. Countries such as the United States, the United
Kingdom and Australia have demonstrated a series of positive outcomes when health coaching is implemented including patients having a better adherence to treatment, better coping skills and the ability to better take care of themselves. The main role of the cancer coach is to assist the client in bringing about change that the client holds as important for improved health and quality of life outcomes. Cancer coaches do not offer medical advice or treat cancer, but they work with patients to help them wade through the options presented to them by their health team. They work so that the patient can make informed and timely decisions and play an active
So what if each of us set a theme to our shopping this year – a priority to hone in on, give ourselves some parameters and maybe even bring back a little more authentic joy and excitement to our gift giving season. The theme? Shop Local. I know! You’ve heard it before and you know all the reasons to shop local; • Every dollar spent locally strengthens the local economy and generates local revenue • Local businesses hire our friends and neighbours who in turn support our community • Local businesses support our charities, sport teams and allow us to build amenities • Local businesses support other local businesses thereby generating greater prosperity • Local businesses offer high quality service and value added advice and support • Supporting local business today ensures future access to quality products and services • Encouraging local entrepreneurship stimulates innovation and unique offerings • Buying local is good for the environment, ultimately less expensive and feels good • Buying local creates a mindfulness in spending, an experience in shopping and opens the opportunity for building new relationships Our local businesses work hard and risk much to offer us easy access to diverse products and quality service. It has been a particularly challenging year for our businesses in terms of new legislation and rapid change in the marketplace. So let’s celebrate more together and make this the year for getting back to community – setting a new trend and finding a way to enjoy this holiday season while contributing to our future and our community, friends and neighbours. Are you up for the challenge? Here it is! Can you dedicate 80-90 or even 100% of our holiday spending to local businesses? For gifts, food and experiences? Yes? Fantastic! We want to help! Check out www.westottawabot.com for local holiday gift ideas and stories. Share your finds and your support for the cause. #wobtshoplocal Happy local shopping!

role in their overall health. Cancer coaches can also provide clients with current and reliable research information on cancer treatment and care options. A recent client survey from the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation shows patients who have received cancer coaching were better able to cope with life, better able to keep themselves as healthy as possible, have improved quality of life and feel that they are part of a connected cancer care team. The long-term vision of the Cancer Foundation is to make cancer coaching available to everyone diagnosed with cancer. To reach this goal in Eastern Ontario means building the capacity to serve about 10,000 people at any given time. In this cancer coaching program, patients and caregivers are eligible for up to five hours of one-on-one coaching with regulated health care professionals who have a background in oncology. Cancer coaching can develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to better understand and take charge of your cancer. Cancer coaching can also improve your overall health and wellbeing, can help manage common treatment side effects and reduce stress, can connect you with others who share similar experiences and can address the needs of caregivers.

Carp’s Joanna Brown going to 2018 Commonwealth Games Special to the Review
Carp’s Joanna Brown is going to the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia. She is one of six athletes named by Triathlon Canada to participate in these multi-sport Games that will be held from April 4 to 15 in Gold Coast in Australia, with 70 participating countries and over 4,000 athletes competing. Joanna and her five triathlon teammates will don red and white race suits while swimming, biking and running for Canada at the Southport Broadwater Parklands in both individual and mixed relay triathlon events held on April 4 and April 6. Joanna Brown, 25, is coming off a career year in 2017 in which she ended up on the podium in three World Cup events and also had back-to-back fourth place finishes in World Triathlon Series races. She also placed fifth in the world championships in the Netherlands last summer. She is one of three female triathlon athletes named. The others come from Cowichan Bay, B.C. and Guelph, Ont. There are also three male triathlon athletes named to participate in the Commonwealth Games, coming from Oak Bluff, Mass., Victoria, B.C. and Gatineau, Que.
Canada’s Commonwealth Games Chef de Mission Claire Carver-Dias congratulated these triathlon athletes selected to represent Canada at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. “I look forward to seeing these six triathletes compete on the breathtaking Gold Coast landscape, as well as supporting them in their quest to return to the podium in 2018,” CarverDias said. Canada has three triathlon medals in its history in the Commonwealth Games. Simon Whitfield and Carol Montgomery won gold medals at the 2002 Games in Manchester, England, while Kirsten Sweetland won a silver medal at the 2014 Games in Glasgow, Scotland. Eugene Liang, high performance director for Triathlon Canada, believes that the future of triathlon in Canada is in good hands with the six athletes named for the Commonwealth Games. “They have all made huge progress in their transition into elite racing, and are a key part of our NextGen strategy that puts additional focus on the mixed relay which has also recently been added to the Olympic program,” Liang said. “The Commonwealth Games represents another benchmark in our continued development on the
2 0 1 7
road to Tokyo 2020. I have complete confidence this group will give Canadians something to cheer about at the triathlon venue.” Joanne Brown currently resides in Victoria where the National Performance Centre for Triathlon Canada is located. Joanna competed in her first triathlon at age 14 and a year later won the Valleyfield Eastern Canadian Championship. Making her international debut in 2009, she won a bronze medal at the International Triathlon Union World Junior Championships, a finish which inspired her to want to represent Canada at an Olympic Games. She joined the national triathlon team in 2011, making her debut that year in World Cup races. She debuted in the World Triathlon Series in 2012, reaching the podium in four Pan American Cup races including one victory. She also won a bronze medal at the World U23 Championships that year. In 2014 Joanna finished 17th in a World Triathlon Series race in Auckland, New Zealand, while also finishing second that year at the Canadian championships.

Eye-catching homes, all decorated for Christmas by john curry john.curry@metroland.com
The six homes on the Christmas House Tour organized by the Anglican Parish of Huntley are all eye-catching, ranging in taste from a modern smart home to a historic farm house built in 1875.
But what makes this Christmas House Tour on Nov. 25 extra special and certainly a seasonal highlight is that each one of the homes will be decorated with seasonal floral designs provided by local florists from Carp, Stittsville and Arnprior. These florists include Autumn’s Fine Flowers, Loblaws and the Carp Garden Centre, Mel’s, Pretty Pots and Seabrooke’s.
So those on the tour are not only going to be wowed by these six unique homes but also are going to be blown away by these holiday floral decorations in each of them. And as if six floral decorated homes were not spectacular enough, the tour also features the historic St. John’s Anglican Church at 1470 Donald B. Munro Dr. just a couple of curves outside Carp. Built in 1885, the church will be decorated for the season by congregation members. This will include 130 feet of fresh cedar garland which will have been hand-wrapped by a 91-year-old parishioner. But this is not all!
The tour also includes yet another stop, namely the Anglican Parish Hall at 3774 Carp Rd. beside the Carp fairgrounds where there will be coffee, tea and cookies to enjoy. You will also have the opportunity to win fabulous door prizes at this stop. This Anglican parish of Huntley Christmas House Tour on Saturday, Nov. 25 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tickets at $25 per person (no children under 12 years of age) are available by contacting Connie at 613-978-0635 or Chris at 613880-8436. They can also be purchased online at huntleyparish.com. See SIX HOMES, page 27

Six homes on Christmas House Tour Continued from page 25
Proceeds from this Christmas House Tour will support the ongoing ministry of the Anglican Parish of Huntley through which the parish supports seniors, youth and families throughout the Carp community. Here’s something about the homes that you can visit on this Christmas House Tour: 711 Meadowridge Circle, Carp: Built in 2015, this semi-detached bungalow backs onto Doug Rivington park. With 1,650 square feet of finished space, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom home built by Rivington Homes overlooks green space with a landscaped backyard. It features a traditional farmhouse decor as well as custom finishes including hardwood throughout. There’s a custom kitchen and a master ensuite that will wow you. And you won’t want to miss the two fireplaces! 1492 Donald B. Munro Dr., Carp: This custom-built home by Rivington Homes sits on the site of a former school house which was destroyed by fire in 2011. The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home features hardwood floors throughout and has eye-catching windows. The deck at the rear of the home provides a view of the Carp Ridge as well as local farmland. This home is almost right beside St. John’s Anglican Church, the historic church that is also a stop on this tour. 136A Glenncastle Dr., Carp: Built in 2014, this two-plus-one bedroom, three-bathroom home designed by architect Malcolm Wildeboer features 18-foot ceilings and expansive windows in its great room. There’s a fourseason sunroom with heated floors and a dozy wood stove. There’s also a basement walkout. 203 Charles Lane, Carp: This home
designed by architect Malcolm Wildeboer backs onto a forest. Large transom windows allow sunlight to pour in and a stone fireplace is a centrepiece for the living room. This 1,800-squarefoot home built in 2014 also has a sunroom. 2524 Donald B. Munro Dr., Carp: Built in 1875 by Allan Grant, a lumber baron and cattleman, this large home had lots of space. The 1901 Canada census lists its inhabitants as the widow Grant and her children, five servants and a cattle buyer. The home features a grand staircase that has been restored to its original glory. The home has crown mouldings, baseboards and original coal oil light fixtures. The home will display a number of Victorian Christmas treasures, a family tradition. It’s well worth the drive out from the village. You pass St. John’s
Anglican Church and the tour home at 1492 Donald B. Munro Drive, so you can drop into three stops on this one excursion along Donald B. Munro Drive west of Carp. 4250 Carp Rd., Carp: This 2,000-square-foot home built in 2016 was designed by Robin Doull of The Design Group. Located on a part of the Carp Ridge above the adjacent Carp Road, it is designed as a minimalist space complete with radiant floor heating, concrete floors and a double-sided fireplace open to the ensuite. There are 14-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows to allow lots of natural light into the home while also revealing an amazing view. There’s a great room and also a sunroom. The blinds, lights, music, doors and furnace in the home are all able to be controlled by a smartphone.

Pakenham Country Christmas celebration coming up Nov. 25 Craft sale, Christmas Cafe, face painting and more by ashley kulp akulp@metroland.com
Get ready to deck the streets of Pakenham in holiday cheer for the annual Pakenham Country Christmas celebration on Saturday, Nov. 25. This is the sixth year for the event, running 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., which was dreamed up by the Pakenham Business and Tourism Association after the former Jingle Bell Tour ended. It has continually increased in popularity. “I think Pakenham Country Christmas has remained popular as it is a relaxed, friendly atmosphere with a variety of activities to interest the whole family,” noted Pakenham Country Christmas co-ordinator Christine Whelan. The association doesn’t just co-ordinate Pakenham Country Christmas, but also commits to one project each year within the village, and for 2017, there’s a focus on recreation. “This year, we plan to put benches along the new multi-purpose trail, which is being developed on the old rail line,” Whelan explained. There are plenty of activities scheduled for the entire family to have a day of old-fashioned fun. Pakenham Public School will once again be a hub of activity for the day, setting up a craft sale, the ever-popular Girl Guide Christmas Café, letters to Santa and face painting, all taking place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “Our new children’s activity this year is the face
painting taking place at the school by local artists Aamina Badran of Mississilli Faces and is sponsored by the Pakenham Business and Tourism Association,” Whelan said. Bridges Bar & Grill gets in on the fun, offering snowman on a stick crafts and treat bags from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Also taking place during that time will be hot apple tea and cookies with Mrs. Claus and exhibitions from local artists Kevin Dodds and Daisy Mae Lennox at the Pakenham General Store. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., children can make Rudolph and the gang some reindeer food at 5 Span Feed & Seed or take in the candy kebab station at Nicholson’s. Take a load off in the tea room at St. Mark’s Anglican Church from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Coinciding with Pakenham Country Christmas this year is the official opening of the renovated and expanded Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library from 3 to 5 p.m. Visitors can tour the facility and also take in the ribbon cutting at 3:30 p.m. The party doesn’t stop when the sun begins to go down. At 4:30 p.m., the village’s tree lighting ceremony gets underway at the park at the bridge by 5 Span Spuds. Come and enjoy carolling and hot chocolate for an extra dose of Christmas spirit.

INFORMATION SESSION: Kanata Light Rail Transit Planning and Environmental Assessment Study Open House #2 Date: Thursday, December 7, 2017 Location: Kanata Recreation Complex, Hall A, 100 Charlie Rogers Pl, K2V 1A2 Time: 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. (presentation at 6:30 p.m.) OC Transpo routes: 61, 88, 167 Parking is available The City of Ottawa has initiated this Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan to extend Light Rail Transit (LRT) from Moodie Drive to Kanata. Extending LRT to Kanata is identified in the Ultimate Network in the City’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The previous Open House for this project was held in June 2017. At that time, the City presented the evaluation of alternative corridors and identified a preliminary preferred corridor. To date, the Study Team has finalized the recommended corridor and at this open house will present design details on the recommended plan, station locations and concept designs, and the requirement for a light maintenance and storage facility. The Environmental Assessment portion of the study will be undertaken in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects. The City must consider alternative corridors and designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts. Information to date is available at ottawa.ca/KanataLRT. Comments received will be collected under TPAP, and with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please contact the project manager below before the event.

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. 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. 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. Information about the studies is available on the City’s website at ottawa.ca/albertslater Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. Contact the City’s project managers for additional information or if you require special accommodation. Please confirm your registration at albert-slater@ottawa.ca by November 24, 2017.

t was a mystery to me. How Mother could fill out a form, put it in an envelope, enclose no money, put on a three cent stamp and send it off to the people who sent out Eaton’s catalogue, and within days, the mailman would deliver a package right to our door. It was called a C.O.D. order, and I knew that meant Mother had to come up with whatever the mailman asked for when he left the parcel. There it was that day when I came from the Northcote School, sitting on the bake table at the back door ... a big parcel wrapped in heavy brown paper, and tied with cord. Our winter order from Eaton’s had arrived, and it would be opened after supper, only once the dishes had been washed, the table wiped clean, and dried with a flour bag tea towel. We five children could hardly wait. Even though my sister Audrey and I had poured over the catalogue until it was dog-eared, we knew that in the parcel would be only what was completely necessary to get us over the winter. The Christmas toy section, the pages of tin boxes of candy, the pretty dresses ... all frivolities … and certainly wouldn’t be part of Mother’s order. But that didn’t matter ... what Mother unwrapped would be brand new, and that in itself was something to look forward to. Father was the only one who wasn’t sitting around the kitchen table when it came time to open the parcel from Eaton’s. Mother was at the head of the table, and we children in the spots we always used for our meals, and I looked around and every one of us had our fingers interlocked just like we did when we prayed in church. Mother handed Audrey the string, who already had a piece of cardboard ready. And there it was - Mother’s order. There was new combination underwear for Father, long johns for my brothers, and new underpants for Audrey, soft with mauve lines in them, and for me the hateful navy blue fleece lined bloomers. I didn’t mind them when they were brand new, but by the time half the winter was

over, they would be faded and ugly as sin from many washings, and soakings from sliding down the little snowcovered hill at the Northcote School. And on the very bottom of the parcel was a neatly folded piece of Dan River cotton … soft coloured plaid with navy blue lines interwoven. Mother would find good use for it. A new house dress, a blouse for Audrey or me? Maybe new aprons. I was sitting beside Mother, and I leaned over and pressed my nose tight against the new material, and then I smelled the new underwear, even Father’s combinations. And that too was a miracle, I thought. How something could come from so far away, travel by train all the way to Northcote, and still smell so fresh. All I knew about Eaton’s was that they sent us a catalogue twice a year, and whatever Mother needed would be parceled up and sent to us on the farm. A miracle indeed.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton
Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Town Hall Meeting I want to thank everyone who came out to the Town Hall Meeting at the Kanata Recreation Centre on 16 November. We had a great discussion on a broad variety of issues, and I very much appreciated the questions and feedback. It is clear that we have some priority issues for our Riding – for which I will continue to work hard: LRT, broadband communication, the economy – just to name a few. I would like to remind everyone that, for their personal issues, please contact my Constituency Office who can assist. I look forward to our next Town Hall – to be held in West Carleton, early in the new year.
TGIF For Mental Health I want to thank City Councillor Marianne Wilkinson for hosting a terrific event, TGIF for Mental Health, at Big Rig Brewery in Kanata. Along with Chris and Erin Phillips the event was held to help fundraising efforts towards improving mental health facilities at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. It was great to meet and chat with so many that turned out to help such a great cause. Thank you Marianne for the wonderful work you do for mental health.

Audi Eco Drive Pilot It was great to represent the Minister of Transport at the Audi Eco Drive Pilot this past week. The event was held to showcase Ottawa’s connected vehicle technology. In becoming a Smart City, the City of Ottawa has developed many different technologies that build towards an ecofriendlier future. The connected vehicle allows for its user to interact with city infrastructure, which will communicate to them best driving practices in a given situation, resulting in greater fuel efficiencies. The event demonstrated the City of Ottawa’s leadership and commitment to fostering a Smarter City, and I am proud that our community is taking such a leadership role in developing such technological achievements!

Is feeding animals good or bad? by michael runtz
Oft-times I am asked whether feeding animals is good or bad. My answer is that it can be either. If mice are purchased from pet stores to entice owls to come closer for photographs, then it is bad. “Baiting” can have negative consequences such as making an owl habituated so that if it sees humans, it flies toward them to receive a meal. As owls fly low and slowly, cars often hit them when they fly across roads. Pet store mice can contain antibiotics, something foreign to owls. Especially in earlier years, white-tailed deer were fed to enhance their winter survival. Since the 1960s deer have gone through a tremendous population increase, one that has resulted in a loss of understory in local forests, frequent vehicular accidents and the proliferation of Lyme-carrying deer ticks (the tick abundance is also due to climate change). Nature has a seemingly cruel way of regulating animal populations: in severe winters many die of starvation. But survivors usually carry better genes and as a result, the population’s vigour is strengthened. By artificially keeping the deer or any other animal population at an elevated level, each year there are

Although quiet this year, this Niger feeder was visited by American Tree Sparrows (top), American Goldfinches (bottom, right) and Dark-Eyed Juncos (bottom, left) last year. more mouths to feed, and the overall health of the population becomes weakened. Usually, however, the question about feeding involves birds. Does feeding make migratory birds stay here for the winter? Do bird feeders make birds dependent on them? The answer to both questions is a qualified “no.” I say “qualified” because birds that lack the migratory instinct or that stray here from another part of the continent are normally doomed. Bird feeders can temporarily sustain those individuals, so they are indeed dependent on them. But as those individuals would inevi-
tably perish without the help of bird feeders, their lives are simply being extended. An Anna’s hummingbird, a west coast species, appeared in Carleton Place in early November and was still present when I dropped by last Friday (Nov. 17). It was alive because it found a hummingbird feeder stocked with sugar-water. Because the water froze at night, the feeder was replaced each morning by a freshly filled one. If that tiny stray, rarely seen in Ontario, hasn’t yet succumbed to the wintry conditions, it likely will in the very near future. If feeders aren’t cleaned regularly, seeds and sugar water can spoil and make birds ill. But they don’t keep birds from migrating. When wild food is plentiful and accessible, some species remain here in large numbers, either ignoring feeders or treating them only as supplementary sources of food. But if wild food is not available, those birds will migrate. This fall, it appears that American Goldfinches have either left or are still finding lots of natural food. Either way, my Niger feeders, like those of many others, sit full and unnoticed. If you feed birds in the Arnprior, Galetta, White Lake or Pakenham area, please let me know, for the Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count is fast approaching. The Nature email is mruntz@ start.ca.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you might feel like you do not measure up to others this week. How others see you is completely different from your perception. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Don’t underestimate your abilities, Leo. You are imaginative and creative when the mood suits you, as it will this week. Look for your muse and get started.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, letting go is a hard lesson to learn this week. You may have to retire a plan that just can’t come to fruition. But don’t worry, new ideas are in the works.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, stay open to external influences and you may be able to infer some things about the future that can guide you in the days ahead. It’s good to stay ahead of the curve.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, try not to hold onto negative emotions. Focus on all of the happy memories you have made with others and your mood will instantly brighten.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, this is a good week to take stock of the people who mean the most to you. Express your feelings to these people and spend some time with them.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Honesty is the best policy, Cancer. So have that frank conversation with someone even if full disclosure can be a bit uncomfortable. Afterward, you’ll be glad you did.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 A little dose of being naughty might do you some good this week, Scorpio. Call in sick from work and enjoy a day shopping or simply indulging in a little entertainment.
