ReviewWest Carleton Clinic wins innovation
award
COURTNEY SYMONS
A local clinic has seen an early victory in a compe-tition charting innovation in healthcare.
The West Carleton Family Health Team won the Early Adopter’s Award in the ImagineNation Out-comes Challenge hosted by Canada Health Infoway, a not-for-profi t organization seeking to develop new technology to organize health information.
The challenge asks health-care providers across the country to chart the progress of their innovative technologies.
West Carleton’s health portal, a secure website al-lowing patients to access their medical records on-line, was their ticket into the competition.
Registration began in September of last year and because the clinic entered right away, they were eli-gible for an early bird prize of $5,000 – which they won at the end of December. Dave Sellers, director of operations at the clinic, said that it was a no-brainer to enter the competition.
“We’re always looking for a challenge,” he said. “So why not?”
With an award already under their belt, and the technology already in place, the next part of the com-petition involves submitting a monthly log charting improvements and growth of their health portal.
The portal allows patients to log on and view lab results and see their upcoming appointments.

INNOVATION, from 1
It also allows patients to sub-mit questions for nurses to an-swer, update contact informa-tion, and view links like the Canada Food Guide. Users can update their “log book” with waist measurements, blood pressure, or body mass index. They can view their immuni-zation records. As their weight fl uctuates, they can enter their new information to chart their weight loss or gain on a graph.
“The data they see is coming right out of their medical re-cord; it’s live,” Sellers said. “It’s a real-time environment. They don’t have to wait for us to up-load the information.”
Currently, 1,589 patients are registered on the portal. The clinic’s challenge will be to in-crease that number, and the number of transactions on the website.
Their strategy to improve the portal and remain contenders in the competition is to keep on adding to the site.
“Every time we put a new fea-ture on, more people join,” Sell-ers said.
One upcoming feature is an online drug list. Any drugs pre-
scribed by a doctor will be post-ed on the individual’s profi le, allowing the user to verify that they are taking the medication.
This serves two purposes, Sell-ers said. The patient can keep track of their prescriptions and dosages, and doctors can deter-mine whether the patient is tak-ing the proper medication.
Another major feature in the works is e-scheduling, allowing patients to make non-urgent medical appointments online.
If they are able to implement such a feature, Sellers said, not only would it increase the use of their health portal but it would make them eligible to enter an-other competition within the Infoway challenge.
Categories of the competi-tion include patient access to health information, which they have entered, and e-scheduling, which they are hoping to enter.
Fraser Ratchford, Infoweb’s group program director, said that their organization conduct-ed a poll in the spring of 2011 and found that Canadians are eager to see e-scheduling put in place.
“We decided, let’s see what we can do to start e-scheduling across Canada,” Ratchford said.
“We’re trying to spark innova-tion across the country.”
The current Outcomes Chal-lenge competition comes af-ter Infoweb’s Ideas Challenge which took place in the begin-ning of 2011. The difference is that entries in the former have the innovation and technology already in place; the latter only had to be an innovative and fea-sible possibility.
Winning entries included a phone application for pregnant women called Mom To Be, al-lowing people to chart their medical appointments and nu-tritional information on their cell phone.
But this competition targets clinics that already have the technology in place.
“This allows them to spread the word,” Ratchford said. “The can show the outcomes and ad-vantages to using these inno-vations, and they can further develop what they already have going.”
The competition doesn’t end until March 2013, when the ul-timate winner will be the orga-nization that shows the most growth, improvement and inno-vation overall. The grand prize is $50,000.
Various awards will be given throughout the competition for those gaining momentum, so there is more than one opportu-nity to succeed.
Sellers said that West Carleton has a lot of work to do – main-taining and enhancing the exist-ing health portal, implementing an e-scheduling program, on top of their regular, everyday duties.
“We’re doing this in between all of our other jobs,” Sellers
said. “Our prime objective is to look after our patients.”
But if they succeed in this competition, that is precisely what they will be doing.
“We want our patients to im-prove their health, and this is a tool to help them do that,” he said.

Community Canada Day celebrations, a plane crash into Constance Lake and the start of an innovative soccer program for children with autism — 2011 was an event-ful year. In this week’s issue, we look back over the last six months of news stories covered in the Review.
JULY
• Two passengers escaped safely from a plane that crashed into Constance Lake on July 5 around 8 p.m.
The Cessna 172 pontoon light aircraft caught a wing on the water as it landed and was partially submerged in the west-end lake between Dunrobin Road and Fifth Line Road in West Carleton.
• Constance Bay heard word of the Johnny Winter and David Gogo concert scheduled at the Constance & Buckham’s Bay Community Centre to a sold-out crowd on Aug. 4.

• An almost record-breaking heat wave reached 37 degrees after a huge wind storm that overturned trees, knocked out power and fl attered the main stage at Bluesfest on July 17. The cottagers of Marshall’s Bay in the Galetta area were particularly hard hit. Many large white pine trees were either snapped off or up-rooted, and multiple cottages and cars were damaged due to fallen trees.
• The Dunrobin Dames dragonboating team earned two silver medals and one bronze during the World ICF Dragonboat Club Crew Championships in Toronto tournament.
• The pilot season of a soccer team for children with special needs wrapped up in Dunrobin after eight weeks of sessions. Greg Patacairk was the head coach of the team of 13 autistic children who took to the soccer pitch for the fi rst time in their lives in 2011. There were no designated teams and anyone was allowed to score on either net, but it’s an opportunity for the kids to run around, get some exercise and be involved in a team sport.
AUGUST
• Johnny Winter performed in front a packed house at the Constance and Buck-ham’s Bay Community Centre. Around 200 blues fans fl ocked to the community centre to see the legendary bluesman and local musician David Gogo play music on a small stage.
• An historical society refurbished a cemetery in Fitzroy Township, the fi nal resting place of six of the area’s pioneer settlers from the early 1800s. The Fitzroy Township Historical Society held a cer-emony honouring the contributions of the Smiths, a pioneer family, at the Smith Pioneer Cemetery on Carp Road.
• Carp saw its fi rst fl ash mob at the Carp Fairgrounds. As the sun set, music began to blare and dancers slowly assembled until a full-on, 60-strong dance routine took place before the eyes of bewildered onlookers.
• City council voted to rename part of the West Carleton Community Complex after Dr. Roland Armitage. Armitage was mayor of the Township of West Carleton from 1991-94, as well as a Second World War veteran, a veterinarian, and an in-ductee into the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame for his horse racing.
• Aug. 25: The ouster of MPP Norm Sterling by the Progressive Conservative Party in Carleton-Mississippi Mills was “disgraceful,” said former Ontario pre-mier Ernie Eves during an appreciation dinner for Sterling at the Canadian Golf and Country Club.
SEPTEMBER
• Huntley Anglican Parish, represent-ing the congregations of St. James the Apostle Church, Christ Church and St. John’s Church, fl ipped the switch, becom-ing the fi rst parish in Ottawa to use solar power.
• Constance Bay hosted its fi rst Terry Fox Run on Sept. 18, offering three differ-ent routes for those helping to continue Terry’s legacy. The route began and ended at the Constance & Buckham’s Bay Com-munity Centre.
• Carleton-Mississippi Mills candidates attended an all-candidate’s debate on Sept. 19 held by the Kanata Chamber of Commerce and Metroland Media Group at the Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Kanata.
• Around 50,000 people put on their fall fair fi nest and headed to the Carp fair-grounds. Volunteers came back in full force to help take down and clean up what turned out to be a very successful fair.
• An environmental assessment began in September to determine how best to cease the erosion problem along the Carp River near the Fitzroy Harbour Commu-nity Centre. Approximately eight metres of land has been lost over a nine-year period from 1999-2008. The loss is due to a shift in the main channel of the Carp River near the community centre.

The Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre’s basement got a makeover. Youth Connexion was granted the go-ahead by the community centre in June to clear out the basement room. The Youth Connexion Lounge, which is now open on Tuesdays and Thurs-days for youth aged 10-17, was com-pleted at the end of September.
OCTOBER
• Progressive Conservative Jack MacLaren was declared the winner of the Carleton-Mississippi Mills Riding. MacLaren took 28,247 votes, 50 per cent of the popular vote in the provin-cial election.
• The Carp Farmers’ Market host-ed their second annual Harvest Cel-ebration. Various craft and produce vendors from the market ladled out their best soups for visitors, including pumpkin apple and ginger carrot. The celebration showcased the fall crops coming into season like sweet pota-toes, gourds and root vegetables.
• The Ministry of Natural Re-sources raided the Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge, resulting in founder Lynn Rowe being charged with keep-ing wildlife in captivity without a li-cense. Rowe applied for a license to keep various wildlife on her Dunrobin Road property three months prior and had set about building enclosures and fencing on her property to keep the
wildlife safe and separate from hu-mans and her domesticated animals, but had not yet been granted the li-cense.
• OC Transpo recommended three major services changes to serve rural residents, including four once-a-week shuttles from rural areas to major shopping centres, changes to Para Transpo services, and investing mon-ey in community support agencies that would enhance rural transporta-tion services. If approved by the tran-sit commission, these changes would be put in place by early 2012.
• The Kanata North Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) met with community members on Oct. 20 to lay out seven proposals to solve the issue of overcrowding in Kanata schools. One proposal included expanding fa-cilities at West Carleton Secondary School to include Grade 7 and 8 stu-dents. The Ottawa Carleton District School Board will decide the course of action to combat school overcrowding based on Kanata North ARC’s sugges-tions in April of 2012.
• West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry was recognized as a commu-nity leader by Ottawa’s Lebanese com-munity at an awards ceremony.
El-Chantiry accepted a trophy after winning the Community Leadership of the Year Award from the Canadian Lebanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Ottawa Section (CLCCI) at their eighth-annual business awards
ceremony and gala.
• A brand new analogue X-ray ma-chine was plugged in at the X-Ray clinic in Carp, bought from funds raised by the West Carleton Health Access Foundation, a local non-profi t organization dedicated to improving health care in the area.
NOVEMBER
• West Carleton Secondary School hosted a mental health awareness day.
Nursing students from Algonquin College doing a placement at the high school fi lled the lobby with posters, green ribbons, and information about mental health awareness.
• Branch 616 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Constance Bay hosted a Re-membrance Day observance ceremony on Nov. 5 to honour veterans, to enable them to take part in the national cere-mony on Parliament Hill on Nov. 11. A parade marched down Constance Bay Drive to the Constance Bay cenotaph.
• The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre hosted their second annual bully awareness week in 10 dif-ferent schools across Ottawa.
• The Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Committee presented new water safety policy proposals at open houses across the city.

On Nov. 21, an open house was held in Carp to present community members with various policy suggestions including prohibiting the construc-tion of new gas stations or sewage treatment fa-cilities in vulnerable areas.
• The semi-annual Red Trillium Studio Tour returned to West Carleton on Nov. 26-27 with 15 studios exhibiting 41 artists across the region.
• The construction of a new road providing a second route into Constance Bay was one of the items discussed during a review of the Constance Bay Community Plan held at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre.
The new road is only waiting for work to start on a new residential development near Buckham’s Bay, according to West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.
El-Chantiry said the new road would likely run from Shady Lane to Kilmaurs Side Road, near the traffi c lights at Dunrobin Road, close to the new residential development area.
DECEMBER
• The Ontario Trillium Foundation present-ed Branch 616 of the Royal Canadian Legion a cheque for $67,000 that the Legion will use to in-stall a new septic system.
• Constance Bay hosted its Santa Claus Parade, beginning and ending at the Constance & Buck-
ham’s Bay Community Centre.
• The former council chamber in the West Car-leton Community Centre was renamed Dr. Roland Armitage Hall to honour the former mayor of the township of West Carleton.
• The Huntley Community Association hosted the Carp Santa Claus Parade, beginning and end-ing at the Diefenbunker.
• A local art exhibit at the West Carleton Family Health Clinic just made its fi rst sale. Hooo’s Cute, a painting of a friendly-looking owl by artist Kate Ryckman was hanging in the clinic alongside art-work by seven other local artists, available for pe-rusal and purchase by visiting clients.
• Community members met with rural plan-ners to discuss a revised community design plan (CDP) for the village of Carp. “This document is performing really well,” said Robin van de Lande, a planner with the city of Ottawa responsible for the village plan. “Great things are happening to the community; the growth that’s happening is good.”
• Frequent explosions in a Kinburn quarry had nearby community members up in arms.
A contracting company is testing improvised explosive devices (IED) similar to those used in Afghanistan at the Kinburn Quarry, about seven kilometers away from the previously quiet neigh-bourhood of Deerwood Estates, an 82-home subdi-vision in Kinburn.

Septic system not glamorous, just fundamental
To the editor:Congratulations to Legion Branch 616 on its $67,000 grant towards a new septic system at the Legion in Constance Bay. While it’s hardly glamorous project, it is fundamental to helping to keep our communi-ties vibrant.A new septic system, an acces-sible washroom, new fl ooring or lighting – these are fairly straightforward building im-provements. But to many in
communities across Ontario, it means people can continue to visit with friends, join in activi-ties and stay connected. It goes to the heart of what makes a community hall wel-coming and open to all.The Ontario Trillium Foun-dation grants greatly needed monies to many legions and community halls throughout the province. Since 1999, the Foundation has been pleased to support legions throughout the Champlain region with 21 grants totaling $703,100.Sherrell Franklin

Task force looks to help Constance Bay seniors
COURTNEY SYMONS
A resident-led task force in Constance Bay has launched a survey to tackle their fi rst chal-lenge as an organization.
The Bay Community Connec-tion was established this sum-mer to improve the health, safety and security of the community, beginning with senior residents.
Bruce Gordon, one of the vol-unteer members of the group, has been involved since the group’s inception in mid-2011.
“Originally, we started this to get community policing more in-volved on the community level,” Gordon said.
Community police offi cer Pe-ter Jeon was one of the founding members, along with Constance Bay residents and various stake-holders from organizations like the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and Ottawa Public Health.
The group decided to narrow their focus to a particular demo-graphic.
“Basically, we can’t do every-thing under the sun,” Gordon said.
Many seniors live in the area and face challenges including transportation, isolation, surviv-ing fi nancially and maintaining their homes.
The group created an online survey for seniors from Con-stance Bay to complete, the re-sults of which will advise the next step of their action plan to improve the health, safety and security of senior residents.
On Jan. 4, the organization met with the Sandhill Seniors group at the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, asking them to complete the survey and provide feedback on their needs.
“What we want to do ideally is to bring community resources into the village of Constance Bay,” Gordon said.
The community policing cen-tre is located in the Kinburn Client Service Centre, which Gordon said isn’t fully utilized because many people don’t know it’s there.
The overall goal is to make Constance Bay a “one stop shop,” where people can get all the com-munity resources they need without driving to Kinburn.
“Western Ottawa has a lot of access to information and re-sources,” Gordon said. “We want access to that, too.”
Survey results will be ana-lyzed and followed by a public consultation, likely in February, Gordon said.
After tackling issues that se-niors face in the community, the task force will move onto issues surrounding local youth.
To complete the online survey, visit https://www.surveymon-key.com/s/CommunitySeniors-SurveyCBBCOB.
For those without computer access, hard copies are available at the local branch of the Ottawa Public Library in the community centre on Len Purcell Drive.
Completed surveys can be dropped off at the library or at the Lighthouse Restaurant lo-cated at 655 Bayview Dr.

According to the usual deadly-accurate computer projec-tions, the seven-billionth hu-man being has been born. This
has implications that none of us can really understand. However many people now suspect that there will soon be seven bil-lion people living in their neighbourhood.
This is because of intensifi cation, a policy that has taken on the properties of sacred cow in many cities, including this one. The idea, which has great surface plausibility, is that cities should encourage more people to live in central areas. They will do this by planning and zoning. This will prevent ugly urban sprawl with all the costs that go along with it. The central area will fl ourish with all its new residents, who will not clog the streets with their cars be-cause they will use public transit.
What a nice city we would have if all this were to come true. But it probably won’t. We will continue to have sprawl and it will coincide with more crowded central area neighbourhoods and more cars and more unhappy people.
And why would that be? Because the usual deadly-accurate reading of human nature says that intensifi cation fl ies in the face of it.
The human nature in question is the Canadian variety. Canadians have always had lots of space and have always enjoyed that. The experts tell us we don’t need all that space but average Canadians might not agree. They want enough room to swing a cat, as somebody’s grandmother used to say.
You know that for yourself. Take a trip to some crowded country in Europe or the Third World and the fi rst thing you want to do when you come home is to stretch out, walk down the street without dodging peo-ple, park your car without having to drive fi ve kilometres away, go out in the yard and enjoy the fact that you have a yard.
You also like the look of space. You like to see the sky, the tops of trees. Somebody puts an apartment building where the sky
used to be and you don’t say, “Oh, goody! Intensifi cation.”
This is why all those neighbourhood fi ghts are taking place and it’s why people are still moving to the ’burbs. People like space and they see that there still seems to be lots of it.
Against them are the planners and ur-banization experts who say this is the wrong way to live. They picture a new ur-ban utopia and can’t understand why ev-eryone else doesn’t see it too.
Everyone else does see it, in a way. It’s probably fair to say that most people agree in principle with the idea of intensifi ca-tion. They would just prefer that inten-sifi cation take place on somebody else’s street.
From the point of view of human na-ture, another problem is that the chief benefi ciaries of intensifi cation may not exist. The idea is predicated on the notion of a new generation of urbanites, who like to live in low-rise apartments, eschew the automobile and take the bus everywhere.
Are there enough such people around to make the theory work? Do you know any yourself? If you do, they might be rich be-cause many of the new intensifi ed dwell-ings that are springing up are for people
who have lots of money. To many Ottawa-ns, then, intensifi cation means rich people moving into tall buildings in the neigh-bourhood and blocking the sky.
And one more thing: since the transit system is still somewhat less than perfect, those rich people are going to be bringing their cars.
Meanwhile, people who can’t afford the intensifi ed lifestyle or want enough room to swing a cat will continue to buy single-family dwellings in the suburbs, which means more development and more cars driving downtown.
Imagine how much worse it’s going to get when we are eight billion.

Spaced out in the ‘burbsCHARLES GORDON
Funny Town
Parlez vous Francais? For Dartmouth-Cole Harbour MP Rob-
ert Chisholm, that may very well have been the question that scuttled his run
for the leadership of the federal New Democratic Party.
In December, Chisholm announced that, after months of criss-crossing the country and after a pledge to get his French-language skills up to snuff, he came to the realization that the leader of the government-in-waiting needed to be able to parlez Francais on day one, not after a period of intense cramming.
A unilingual Anglophone leading a party whose major seat strength comes from Quebec will prob-ably have as much chance of electoral success as an unilingual coach has of remaining at the helm of the Montreal Canadians.
For the NDP, last year was a frustrating one, and Chisholm knows frustration when he sees it. While the NDP soared to new heights last year under the late, charismatic Jack Layton, the offi cial opposi-tion was thrown into limbo when he lost his battle with cancer in August,
Back in 1998, Chisholm came agonizingly close to power. As the leader of the Nova Scotia NDP, voters
fl ipped a coin – and it landed on its side. His NDP won 19 seats, the exact same number as the Liber-als.
Parliamentary convention saw to it that the incumbent Liberals got another crack at governing, with Progressive Conservative support. Chisholm’s decision to drop out of the federal NDP leadership race because of his French problem now throws some light on Ottawa Centre MP Paul Dewar and Abitibi-James Bay-Nunavik-Eeyou MP Romeo Saganash, who have problems with French and English respectively.
Dewar’s French is passable, good even, but not great. Saganash has struggled in the debates to express himself well in English.
This is not a moot point. Remember back in 2006 and the Liberal leadership race? The joke ques-tion going around was, “How good is Stephane Dion’s English? About as good as Gerard Kennedy’s French,” a sop at the linguistic skills, or lack thereof, of both candidates.
Then, at the convention, it was Kennedy who helped put Dion over the top. One of Dion’s oft-re-peated, shortcomings as leader?
Canadians had trouble understanding him – in either language.

Carp break and enter thwarted by alarmPatrol Offi cers in the West
Carleton area responded to 47 general calls for service from the public for the reporting pe-riod of Dec. 9 to Dec. 15. From these calls for service the fol-lowing is a partial breakdown of incidents by community:
• Carp business: one commer-cial break and enter.
• Armitage: one suspicious.• Howie: one mischief.
In addition to the calls for service, patrol offi cers are also proactively enforcing the High-way Traffi c laws, responding to false 911 and alarm calls, and assisting the Ottawa fi re, para-medics and bylaw services.
HANG ON DEER
2011 is almost over. It’s week 51 and 14 more deer collisions were reported in rural west Ot-tawa. This week West Carleton reported in 10 collisions while Rideau-Goulbourn reported in four.
The count now stands at 167 to 104 in favor of Rideau-Goul-bourn.
BREAK AND ENTER
• Dec. 15: 2848 Carp Rd., Carp
business district: It appears that a break and enter attempt was cut short when an alarm system door contact was trig-gered at an automotive repair shop on Carp Road. just after 3 a.m. on Thursday morning.
Upon hearing the shriek-ing alarm the unidentifi ed culprits quickly fl ed the scene. After receiving the alarm notifi cation from the monitor-ing company police arrived on scene in short order to discover that a door lock had been pried off. On search of the building’s interior nothing appeared disturbed and nothing was reported stolen.
MISCHIEF
• Dec. 11: 1000 section of Howie Road, West Carleton: A homeowner reported that an unidentifi ed vehicle deliber-ately smashed into her mailbox on Saturday evening and then
quickly fl ed the scene. The homeowner stated that
she overheard a loud noise at around 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 10 but when she went out to investi-gate the vehicle had already disappeared into the darkness. Based on the position of the mailbox post, the homeowner surmised that the vehicle had to have entered into the ditch on her property so as to line up with the mailbox.
SUSPICIOUS
• Dec. 14: Armitage Ave., West Carleton: Shortly before 9 a.m. on Wednesday a complainant reported observing an unfamil-iar vehicle parked at the dead-end section of Armitage.
The complainant stated that the vehicle had been parked in the school bus turning zone for about 30 minutes for no appar-ent reason; two strangers were seen sitting inside of the black coloured vehicle.
MAKE THE RIGHT CALL
The West Carleton Police Centre is located at 5670 Carp Rd. and can be reached at 613-236-1222 ext. 2982. The centre is a community problem-solv-
ing centre and is responsible for the delivery of the Ottawa police crime prevention pro-grams.
It is important to know the numbers to call for an appropri-ate response:
• 911 – for life-threatening emergencies or crimes in progress.
• 613-230-6211 – other emer-gencies, i.e.: suspicious inci-dent or disturbance.
• 613-236-1222, ext. 7300 – the O.P.S. call centre, to report a theft, missing person or stolen vehicle.
• 311 – for bylaw dispatch services.
All of these numbers along with other useful information can be found in the red pages at the front of your residential directory.
If you have any information regarding any criminal activity, call Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS), or toll free at 1-800-222-8477.
Finally, if you are ever in doubt as to whether or not you should call police, or you can-not remember the non-emer-gency numbers, call 911.
The caring and professional 911 call takers will steer you in the right direction.

OTTAWA PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Ottawa Public Library (OPL) is giving members of the public the opportunity to have their say in shaping the design of the new West District Library’s (WDL) spaces and services.
Planning for the WDL at the site of the existing Beaverbrook branch is currently underway.
A pre-design public feedback survey is now available.
Ottawa residents have until Jan. 31 to complete it and share their comments.
The library wants to know what the most important ele-ments and design consider-ations of the WDL are to us-ers and what they like most about the current Beaverbrook branch or their local branch.
A pre-design public consulta-tion was held on Dec. 15.
The material that was pre-sented at the event and the survey is available online at http://biblioottawalibrary.ca/en/main/about/library/west/all/updates.

Opinion
Counting birds in Algonquin provides inspirationI enjoy all aspects of nature.Through the 20-plus years of its
existence, this column has dealt with subjects varying from fl ower deceit to ant mafi a protection.
For the past few weeks, however, birds have dominated its topic for good reason: it was the time of the Christmas bird counts (CBCs).
I fi nished off the year as usual with a CBC in Algonquin Park, one of my favourite places in the world. The Algon-quin count is held between Boxing Day and year’s end, this year it was held Dec. 30.
As for all CBCs, the count is defi ned by a circle with a 12-kilometre radius. That area is broken down into sub-sections, each with a leader. Participants cover an assigned part of a subsection, and at day’s end, everyone converges at the Visitor Centre for a hearty meal followed by a compilation.
Despite its distance from most cities,
the Algonquin CBC attracted 85 people. Many, like me, are former seasonal natu-ralists. Others are birders who love the wild nature of the count. Where else in Ontario can one walk all day and not see another person?
What other count offers the possibil-ity of encountering marten, moose, or eastern wolves?
This was the park’s 38th count, and only two participants – Ron Tozer, re-tired park naturalist and count origina-tor, and Bill Crins, former seasonal natu-
ralist and current top ecologist for the Ontario Ministry of Natural REsources - have been on all of them. I missed a few, taking part in about 25.
For the past decade, I have covered an 11 kilometre route that includes part of the Track and Tower Trail. We (usually Ann is with me) are dropped off prior to dawn and walk (usually snowshoe) along an unploughed access road from High-way 60 to that trail.
On the trail, we walk east to Mew Lake, where our car awaits. The route along the old OAPS rail bed is beautiful. It follows the Madawaska River, which is open in small sections where annually I anticipate a duck that never shows up).
The river is fringed with spruce and fi r, and these harbour northern fi nches, boreal chickadees, and gray jays.
That is, on most counts.The past two have been nearly bird-
less, with many observers encountering only two or three birds per hour!
This year was different. We heard birds – common redpolls - almost as soon as we began, and at dawn found a black-backed woodpecker chipping off spruce bark.
Almost every time we stopped and called for birds (pished and squeaked), black-capped chickadees, red-breasted nuthatches, pine siskins, or white-winged crossbills appeared.
By day’s end, we tallied 18 species, more than half the total tally of 32 spe-cies for the count. We found nothing unexpected but others did.
A winter wren and a northern saw-whet owl (photographed with a cell phone!) were rarities recorded that day.
The CBCs for this winter are over but birds and other animals will continue to provide inspiration for future columns.
In fact, the other day a long-tailed wea-sel was seen chasing a fl ying squirrel . . .

Christmas trees a holiday treat for elk, goats
JESSICA CUNHA AND COURTNEY SYMONS
Residents can turn their real Christmas trees into a holiday treat for farm animals this winter.
Donating a live spruce, pine or fi r tree is another green alternative to throwing it in the green bin once the holiday season is over. The Elk Ranch on Old Carp Road and the Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge on Dunrobin Road are both collecting live Christmas trees as forage for elk and goats.
“The goats will delight in stripping the trees down into naked skeletons very quickly,” said Lynne Rowe, founder of the wildlife refuge.
Her goats’ winter diet consists mainly of hay, so some spruce or pine needles are a real treat, Rowe said.
The same is true at the Elk Ranch.“It adds a different diet for the elk,” said Thom
van Eeghen, who owns the Elk Ranch with his wife Fay Armitage. “It gives them some roughage. It adds different minerals and vitamins to their diet that they don’t normally get in a captive situ-ation.”
The elk will strip the tree bare, eating the pine needles and the bark.
“They’ll eat it right down to the trunk,” said van Eeghen, who has about 90 free-range elk on his property. “The elk eat it up pretty much complete-ly and you’re helping a farmer at the same time.”
Live trees that have been treated with chemicals in the water are not recommended for the animals, said van Eeghen.
“The elk can smell it,” he said, adding chemi-cally-treated spruce, pine or fi rs are safely burned in the summer. “They won’t touch those ones.”
He also said to ensure all tinsel and decorations have been removed before dropping off a tree. Tin-sel can be diffi cult for animals to digest and can harm the elk and goats.
Every year, van Eeghen said the Elk Ranch re-ceives between 20 and 30 trees from residents, which can last the herd up to three months.
“They’ll eat a lot,” he said.People can drop their live trees off at the Con-
stance Creek Wildlife Refuge at 2494 Dunrobin Rd. in the ditch or on the front lawn, or at the Elk
Ranch, located at 1271 Old Carp Rd., in front of the barn. People are also invited to visit the ranch store and pick up some meat.
“Stop by and buy some elk meat, some roast or some steaks, some sausage or even some hamburg-er if you’re willing to fi ght the frigid temperatures at your barbeque,” said van Eeghen.
Rowe said that she would also be happy to accept hedge trimmings or other natural scraps through-out the year.
Thom van Eeghen, who owns the Elk Ranch in Carp, is collecting real Christmas trees to help feed his herd of elk. The trees provide nu-trients and vitamins for the free-range animals.

The Kanata Chamber of Commerce saw a record number of nominees put forward for this year’s People’s Choice Business Awards.
Voting is set to begin on Jan. 9, with 281 companies, non-profits and individuals competing for a top spot among their peers. Online voting, which will determine the award win-ners in all categories except for the Citizen of the Year Award, will run until Feb. 3.
The nomination period, which ran from Nov. 28 to Dec. 22, is now closed.
Five finalists will be declared in each category in the competition, with the winners announced at a gala awards night at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata on Feb. 23.
Twenty-seven awards will be presented to businesses, orga-nizations and individuals in the three geographic regions – Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton – represented by the Chamber.
The Citizen of the Year Award will go to one person from the whole area and the winner will be selected by a committee. Winners in all other categories will be determined solely by the number of votes received in the online voting.
The awards recognize excep-tional service in the communi-ty, as voted by those who know them best, the residents of Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton, said Rosemary Leu, general manager of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce.
“This event is a great way to showcase the many businesses and individuals who make our community of Kanata, Goul-bourn and West Carleton such
a great place to live, work and play,” said Leu.
Last year, the Chamber received a record number of over 10,000 votes for the nominated businesses, with 254 nominees in 12 categories.
All those interested in placing their votes for this year’s awards can find more information on the website at www.kanatachamber.com.
The Kanata Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit organization that helps create a positive business environ-ment and contribute to the success of the Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton business community by pro-viding leadership, representation, in-formation and networking opportuni-ties.

OC Transpo signs have been posted across West Carleton for a new once-a-week round-trip bus service from Dunrobin and Carp to shopping destinations in central Ottawa every Wednesday starting on Jan. 11.
Route 203 will pick riders up around 10 a.m. and take them to the Bayshore and Carlingwood malls to go shopping or to transfer to other buses across the city. A return bus will pick passengers up around 2:30 p.m.
There will be no fare charged on the route for a promotional period until the end of June.
Fares from July 1 onward will be made consis-tent with those approved by the Transit Commis-sion in February 2012.
“I’m hoping people will use it,” West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry said. “I’m hoping people will try to benefi t from it as best they can.”
El-Chantiry said he has heard from some resi-dents concerned they will have to pay a transit levy for the new bus route, but he said the answer is no.
“If you use it, you pay for it. If you don’t use it, you don’t,” he said.
Route 203 is one of fi ve new routes being intro-duced by OC Transpo to serve rural communities in Ottawa.
Other new bus lines include Route 201 serv-ing Richmond residents on Mondays; Route 202 serving Cumberland, Sarsfi eld, Navan and Notre-Dame-des-Champs residents on Tuesdays; Route 204 serving Metcalfe and Greely residents on Thursdays; and Route 205 which will replace the current Friday shoppers’ trip on Route 186, serv-ing residents in Kars, North Gower and Manotick on Fridays.
Route 203 will begin at the corner of Dunrobin Road and Porcupine Trail, turn right on Thomas Dolan Parkway then left on Dunrobin Road to head towards Carp. The route will take Donald B. Munro Drive into Carp, wind around on a few side streets and then take Carp Road down towards Bayshore Mall and then Carlingwood Mall.
The new routes will cost the city around $117,000 per year, which will be reallocated from within the current funding for rural Para Transpo ser-vice.

OC Transpo signs like this one in front of Carp’s Memorial Hall have appeared across West Carleton for a rural shuttle bus to take passengers from Dunrobin and Carp to shopping destinations in central Ottawa beginning on Jan. 11.
Ridership counts will be taken regularly and evaluated after six months and one year to ensure they are a cost-effective solution to rural transpor-tation issues.
“If we see success, we might expand it,” El-Chan-tiry said. “But if we see that nobody’s using it, then we’ll have to review that.”

Sledding hills now open to publicJESSICA CUNHA
The toboggan hills at Walter Baker Park, Rickey Place Park and Bridlewood Park are now open to the public.
The City of Ottawa opened its 55 approved sledding hills on Wednesday, Dec. 28, after around 10 centime-ters of snow fell between Tuesday evening and the following day.
“Residents are reminded to keep safety in mind, and to wear helmets while participating in winter ac-tivities such as sledding and skating,” said the city in a news release.
The city also opened the ice pad in front of Ben Franklin Place, located at 101 Centrepointe Dr. in Ne-pean.
For more information on approved sledding hill lo-cations, opens and closures, safety tips and outdoor rinks, visit www.ottawa.ca.
Chris Griffi n and daughter Olivia, 6, enjoyed some sledding on the hill at Walter Baker Park dur-ing a PD day last January. The toboggan hill is now open to the public after a heavy snowfall.

Ottawa police Chief Vern White is just as comfortable in a graduation cap as he is wearing a police offi cer’s head gear.
Chief Vern White, the scholarLAURA MUELLER
He’s the imposing, stern face of one of the Canada’s largest municipal police forces.
But few would know that Ottawa police Chief Vern White is just as comfortable in a graduation cap as he is in his police blues.
In a profession that prizes a street-smart, rough-and-tumble approach, White is turn-ing that concept on its head and making scholars out of his offi cers.
And he is starting with himself.“Yeah, I’ve been in school for 20 years,”
White said wryly. “I would paint myself as a cop. A lot of others might paint me as an academic.”
He is in the fi nal stages of his doctorate de-gree in leadership and public accountability.
That latest chapter follows a long history of learning that began with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and psychology from Acadia University and a diploma in business admin-istration. He followed that up with a master’s degree in confl ict analysis and management (his thesis was on restorative justice) from Royal Roads University in British Columbia.
“When I joined the police, I didn’t have a degree, and I didn’t know I could actually get one.
“I see the importance of continuous learn-ing,” White said, and it’s an attitude he tries to pass on to his troops, no matter how much he might get teased for it.
But White doesn’t constrain his academic pursuits to his own learning. He has been passing on his knowledge to others through guest lectures and university courses for sev-eral years, and now he has taken it to a new level.
In 2008, White worked with his doctoral university, Charles Sturt University in Aus-tralia, to develop an undergraduate program specifi cally for Ottawa Police Service offi -cers. So far, 16 have enrolled in the two-year program, two classes have graduated and the program is now being opened up to offi cers from other police forces.
It focuses on criminal justice and has re-cently been made available to police offi cers from across Canada. Most of the program is done online, with the fi nal course at the uni-
versity (at the offi cer’s expense).He also teaches a master’s-level online
course in global law enforcement for Charles Sturt.
Locally, White is a familiar face in class-rooms at both Carleton University and the University of Ottawa as a professor at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
“I enjoy the interaction with young people in particular,” White said. “I do fi nd I learn a lot about fi nding solutions in other ways, from people who haven’t already decided what the solution is.”
The chief is also making a name for him-self across the globe as an international lec-turer and as a professor. In his four or fi ve weeks of “vacation” time, White travels to places like India, Dominica and Alaska.
It started in 1998, after someone heard him speak at a community problem solving forum when he was in the RCMP in the Yu-kon. That led to a speaking gig in Alaska, and White never looked back.
“I learn something every day,” White said about his globe-trotting lecturing. “I will bring back some different thinking,” he said.
His most recent jaunt took him way out of his comfort zone, to the Chinese Peoples’ Po-lice University in Beijing.
White was ready for a culture clash as he addressed halls of up to 160 policing students and senior police offi cials on topics such as police accountability and transparency and community mobilization.
“It’s a little more diffi cult there because things like possession of 50 grams of cocaine is a death penalty. So having a discussion around addictions is challenging,” he said.
“When they talk about human rights is-sues, it’s really interesting because they talk about law and justice. It’s their job to hold up the law. If the law changed and the justice system was different, they would uphold it differently,” White said.
“I spoke really openly about what I see as the changes in policing needed (in order to be) successful,” he added.
White said lecturing is the best way to teach other cops about his approach to polic-ing.
“Sometimes you really do have to get the message out one lecture at a time.”

Dan Plouffe photoLocal hockey teams competed in the Bell Capital Cup at Scotiabank Place from Dec. 28 to Jan 1.
DAN PLOUFFE
From trading pins with foreign friends to playing for division cham-pionships on the Ottawa Senators’ ice at Scotiabank Place, local hockey teams created a new truckload of last-ing memories at this year’s Bell Capi-tal Cup.
“A lot of guys who are now play-ing in the National Hockey League have fond memories of it,” notes Mike Eastwood, a former NHL’er himself who coached the Kanata Blazers to the fi nal of the minor atom ‘AAA’ compe-tition. “For these kids, they know all that and they grew up in Kanata with this tournament right before their eyes every Christmas and now they get a chance to play in it.
“To make it to the fi nals is some-thing they’re going to take with them and remember for the rest of their lives.”
Arenas across the city were buzzing throughout the Dec. 28 to Jan. 1 event as 410 atom and peewee-aged teams competed in 19 divisions at the 13th-annual tournament, including a re-cord 15 teams from overseas who were all hosted by local participants.
Parents of the Carleton Place Atom House ‘B’ Kings who billeted the Kore-an Eagles found themselves cheering just as hard for their guests as they were for their own kids.
Despite living half a world apart, the connection between the young players was instant as they bonded with tobogganing, video games and mini-sticks, note Carleton Place hosts Eric and Cynthia Belliveau.
“I think it’s really the start of some-thing that will last beyond just the week they’re here,” says Eric, whose son Alexandre roomed with Eagles players Dong Hyun Shin and Se Hy-eon Yi.
And of course there was the action on the ice as teams played multiple
games each day, plus all-star contests and skills competitions.
The Nepean Raiders won the highest level championship out of area teams by capturing the minor peewee ‘AAA’ division crown, while the Stittsville Rams were best in the major atom ‘B’ event.
“The organizers do a great job,” salutes Ottawa West Golden Knights coach Rob Vandenberg, whose minor peewee ‘A’ team played in one of two division fi nals that were decided in overtime. “It’s really well-run and it’s a highlight of the season every year.”
MINOR ATOM AAA CHAMPIONSHIP
The 11-2 score in the championship game wasn’t the prettiest, but win-ning silver trophies when matched up against the Toronto Marlboros was an accomplishment nonetheless for the Kanata Blazers.
“We asked them for one thing,” ex-plains Mike Eastwood, whose team scored the fi rst goal and was tied 1-1 against their powerhouse opponents after the fi rst period. “We asked them to work as hard as they possibly could, and every boy in that dressing room worked as hard as they could every shift.
“You can’t always control the out-come. The Marlies are one of the best teams in the province and in the coun-try. They are the top of the top. We gave it everything we had and played with them for a period.
“The way I look at it, coming from a smaller community like Kanata, get-ting a chance to play against the big boys, for us we were very fortunate.”
Eastwood was also impressed that his team “battled and battled” to reach the fi nal. Backed by goaltenders Gabe Arrigo and Tye Austin, the Blazers recorded three shutouts at the event over Troy Albany, Lambton and Assa-bet Valley, and also had a good defen-
sive effort in a 2-1 semi-fi nal victory over Rideau St. Lawrence.
“I’m happy,” says Kanata player Ben Semiga, who collected close to 50 pins from other teams during the tourna-ment. “It was a lot of fun.”
