All bets off

Patricia [email protected]

EMC news - The future of horse racing at the Rideau Carleton Raceway is left in limbo after the Slots-At-Racetracks program was cancelled.

The program offi cially ended on March 31, letting a torrent of fear and uncertainty ripple through the local industry.

It is a tragedy for the people that depend on the program, said National Capital Region Harness Horse Association (NCRHHA) president John MacMillan.

“Horse people have essentially been left out in the cold,” he said.

The Rideau Carleton Raceway has already cut its programming from three race days a week to two, he added.

Since its inception in 1998, the Slots-At-Racetracks program has been helping sustain the industry by providing about $3.7 billion in slot revenue.

The deal allowed horse people to directly take home 10 per cent of the money, said veteran harness racer and veterinarian Roly Armit-age.

“Due to the fact that they brought the horsemen into it, everybody brought better horses into it, put more money into it and everything else, including myself,” said the mayor of the former West Carleton township.

City raises stink over expansion

Laura [email protected]

EMC news - The province’s lack of regard for the city’s concerns over a proposed landfi ll expansion in West Carleton shows Ontario has “abandoned” its responsibility to manage com-mercial, industrial and institutional waste, May-or Jim Watson said.

The mayor is sending a strongly worded let-ter to the provincial ministry of the environment in a last-ditch effort to reiterate concerns about Waste Management’s proposed expansion of its Carp Road landfi ll.

In the letter, the mayor makes it clear that city council wants this to be the last time it must deal with a proposed landfi ll expansion on Carp Road.

“The city is seeking a commitment from both Waste Management and the ministry that this be the last time that Waste Management be allowed to request a new or expanded landfi ll footprint at the West Carleton Environmental Centre,” the letter reads.

Waste Management indicated in the spring of 2010 that it wanted to expand its landfi ll on Carp Road. The ministry extended the public-com-ment period after Waste Management submitted a revised environmental assessment in the new year.

Ottawa employees on $100,000 list up by two

FILE

The general manager of the city’s transit services, John Manconi, earned $242,134 in 2012

John [email protected]

EMC news - The City of Ottawa has almost 1,200 employees who make at least $100,000.

In the Ottawa area, the municipal, health, education and legal areas con-tinue to dominate the Sunshine List. The annual list of Ontario Public Service and related employees paid $100,000 or more by taxpayers was re-leased late last week, showing 88,412 workers were paid at least $100,000 in 2012, up about 11 per cent over 2011.

The municipalities and services sec-tor accounted for 38 per cent of the in-crease province-wide, or about 3,300 employees. However, in Ottawa, the number of city employees on the list rose by only two, to 1,189.

The highest paid city employee, manager Kent Kirkpatrick, earned $350,859. Deputy city managers Steve Kanellakos and Nancy Schepers made $309,239 and $293,616 respectively.

The general manager of the city’s transit services John Manconi earned $242,134 in 2012, while recently ap-pointed chief of police Charles Borde-leau made $237,786.

Other prominent Ontario public servants in the Ottawa area on the list include Ottawa Hospital president Dr. Jack Kitts ($701,281), University

of Ottawa Heart Institute president Dr. Robert Roberts ($565,882), Carleton University president Roseann Runte ($404,569), University of Ottawa president Allan Rock ($396,303), Algonquin College president Robert Gillett ($365,546), Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario CEO Alex Munter ($331,673), Ottawa medical offi cer of health Dr. Isra Levy ($319,067),

Ottawa-Carleton public school board director of educa-tion Jennifer Adams ($238,062), Ottawa Catholic school board director of education Julian Hanlon ($236,130) and Mayor Jim Watson ($168,657).

In releasing the list, the provincial government note that despite the increase in members in the $100,000 club, the average salary declined, dropping slightly to $127,525 from $127,566 in 2011.

Country Kitchen gets renovation to expand services Patricia [email protected]

EMC news - With the help of do-nations and grants, including $10,000 from the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, the West Carleton Country Kitchen is expanding its services by providing three new programmes.

All three programs are connected, weaving families, nutrition and activ-ity into a tapestry of health.

Since 2008, the Country Kitchen has been providing people with the knowledge and opportunity to learn how more about healthy meal prepa-ration, shopping for deals and how to stretch the budget while maintaining nutritious food choices.

The programs are tailored to teach local families the importance of healthy, nutritious meals.

“Building on that success we thought we might want to expend into other areas,” said co-coordinator Eva Stewart-Bindernagel.

Families in the Country Kitchen is a seven session program starting on April 19. It focuses on both the im-provement of physical health and the improvement of emotional and social health through healthy meal choices,

“That one is focusing on bringing families together to choose food, pre-pare food and eat food together,” said Stewart-Bindernagel.

Each session will have a different theme and several guest speakers are

scheduled to cover different topics such as food safety and how to plan ahead for meals. Many of the classes will involve kitchen prep so children will have to be over the age of eight in order to guarantee safety. They will also come with homework for the adults which the children will ad-minister.

“We kind of want ev-erybody to be involved,” said Stewart-Bindernagel. “Ultimately we’d like to have some information and skills that people can use as a family from now on.”

To help strength the

link between healthy eat-ing and physical activity, a short exercise session will be held at the beginning of each session.

The program is designed to be affordable for fami-lies with differing budgets and costs $18.

“We are also trying to promote it through the Food Bank as well,” she said. “In that case there won’t be a cost for the program be-cause we want it to be ac-cessible for everybody.”

Once the snow melts, the Country Kitchen will organize the creation of a community garden. The

St. James Anglican Church in Carp donated the land and resources for the project.

“We are going to focus on things that we can than use for other Coun-try Kitchen programs,” said Stewart-

Bindernagel. “Hopefully we can ul-

timately sell the produce, maybe sell some tomato sauce or salsa, and it will be a source of funding for the program itself and we can give some products to the Food Bank as well.”

In autumn, the Sports, Physical Activity and Nu-trition (SPAN) program will be launched. It will fo-cus on helping local sports associations with their nu-tritional needs.

At most tournaments, there is very little healthy food available for the play-ers to consume.

Hockey teams, coaches and parents will be invited to a special evening to learn how physical activity and

nutrition works together. A nutritionist will be invited to speak to them.

Children, parents and coaches will be invited to sign a healthy food con-tract so that they may have a plan in writing that they can share with their team to stick with during the sea-son.

The hope is these pro-grams will have a long effect impact on the com-munity.

“We do want to have short term impact such as reaching individual fami-lies, but our hope it that the programs continue for many years,” said Stewart-Bindernagel. “We are al-ready looking at long-term funding and sustainability.”

Country Kitchen is run by volunteers and appreciates the support of the community. It also accepts donations from local producers, grocers, and gardeners. For more informa-tion on the program, please visit kinburn.ca/ountry-kitchen, phone Gail at 613-839-3978 or email at [email protected].

We have all seen the ads. A pregnant woman glowing with a happy face, and round belly, watching kids play on the swings while she sips her decaf latte. She warmly lays a hand on her unborn child. The sun is shining. The birds are tweeting. You may ask: is this the reality of being pregnant? It looks simple!

While pregnancy is a special time, it can also have emotional and physical ups and downs. While the sun is shining, and the birds are tweeting, what you do not see in the ad is what the woman is thinking. Some common thoughts of parents-to-be are:• “How am I going to prepare for this baby?” • “How do I get ready for breastfeeding?” • “How do I keep my baby safe and healthy

once he/she is here???”

Prenatal classes are a great way to obtain answers to many of your questions and more. Ottawa Public Health (OPH) offers online prenatal education with free companion classes for parents-to-be and those looking for a refresher. The course includes three in-person sessions, each 2 hours in length. Classes are in the evening or on Saturday mornings at four library sites. Sites include Nepean Centrepointe, Ruth E. Dickinson (Barrhaven), Alta Vista and Cumberland. These classes can:

• help pregnant women and their partners feel more confident about the upcoming birth;

• feel better prepared for breastfeeding and; • help parents make informed decisions about

labour, birth and the care of their baby.

The classes are led by a public health nurse. They provide pregnant women and their partners with expert information and the chance to meet with other expectant families. Katie Souliere, a pregnant woman, recently took the OPH prenatal class at the Cumberland branch. Her and her husband said that “after participating in the prenatal classes [they] felt better prepared for baby’s arrival in terms of what to expect before, during and after the labour. [They] now feel more confident about bringing baby home…”. Katie says that while there is a lot of information available online, she and her husband “…weren’t aware of the amount of resources available in the community to support [them] with postnatal care such as breastfeeding and postpartum depression support groups.”

So, grab your decaf latte, take a seat in the sun, open your computer and go to www.ottawa.ca/prenatal. Enroll in our free prenatal classes. It will provide you with the confidence, knowledge and breastfeeding information for your new baby.

Babies and young children are routinely immunized with selected vaccines when they are 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 18 months. This early vaccines protect against five different diseases, including pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough.

Pertussis is a highly contagious infection that affects the respiratory system and spreads easily in the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, and talks. Symptoms are initially mild (similar to the common cold) but as the weeks progress, the mild cough may turn into a severe, violent cough, lasting weeks to months. Babies and young children are at the greatest risk of serious complications, such as breathing difficulties, choking spells,

vomiting, weight loss, pneumonia, brain damage and in rare cases, death. Older children and adults may experiencemilder symptoms but nevertheless, can still spread the infection to others. Every year in Canada, whooping cough kills 1 to 3 infants who did not receive or follow the proper vaccination schedule.

The first dose of the pertussis vaccine is given at 2 months of age; however, babies are not fully protected until they receive all the doses of this vaccine. During this time, babies and young children are surrounded by parents, older siblings, grandparents, friends, caregivers and others who unknowingly may be infected with pertussis, and can transmit it to the child.

In Ontario, there were 230 cases of pertussis in 2011, and 792 cases in 2012. In Ottawa, there were 48 cases of pertussis in 2012 alone. This is the highest number of pertussis cases reported in our city since a local outbreak occurred in 2003 . Better vaccination rate in all age groups will help control this preventable disease.

As of August 2011, all adults from 19 to 64 years of age in Ontario who did not receive one as a teenager are eligible to receive one publicly funded dose of the tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine to better protect adults against pertussis and importantly, to decrease the transmission of the infection to young children.

April 20-27, 2013, is World Immunization Awareness Week. Take this time to talk with your health care provider to see if you and your family are up-to-date. Immunization saves lives! Protect your loved ones; get vaccinated.

POLITICAL REPORTER:

West Carleton ReviewWest Carleton Review

Less than a week after the tabling of his government’s budget, Stephen Harper went to Toronto to meet two pandas arriving from China.

The news pictures coming out of that event were much nicer than the news pictures com-ing out of the budget because there were no pandas involved in the budget. Stephen Harper knew that. He didn’t get where he is by not understanding such things.

Everybody looks better standing with a panda and everybody sounds better talking about pandas, even when what they say is absurd. For example, here’s what the prime minister said at the Toronto airport:

“Over the coming years these pandas will help us learn more about one another while serving as a reminder of our deepening relationship, a relationship based on mutual respect and growing collaboration.”

This will come as quite a surprise to the pandas, who fi gured that all they had to do in their lives was stay in the cage, eat bamboo, breed and get used to people in Toronto Maple Leafs caps waving at them. Now they fi nd out they are supposed to help Canadians and Chinese learn more about each other, as well as serve as a reminder of a deepening relation-ship.

What a job description for a panda.But what a great coup for the prime min-

ister to be at the centre of this happy event, surrounded by more photographers than ever show up at, say, the opening of a new prison.

This is because pandas are cuddly – not that you’d ever want to try to cuddle one because they are big and have sharp teeth and probably don’t understand English or French very well just yet.

At a safe distance, however, pandas are more cuddly, even, than dogs. We know this because of developments in the Pooch Café comic strip in the Citizen, where the dogs are deeply concerned that their capacity to be adored by people is being undermined by cute pandas.

All of this is to say the prime minister

chose wisely. It also suggests one of large problems confronting Canadian politicians is a shortage of pandas. All of them would like to be seen next to one and be able to make speeches about how they serve as reminders of deepening relationships.

Imagine Jim Watson, mayor of Ottawa, being able to talk about pandas instead having to say something, one way or the other, about casinos. That would be such an improvement for him. Even if he had bad news to announce, such as the decision to locate a casino on the lawn of the Supreme Court, having a panda beside him when he made the announcement would make it so much more palatable.

Similarly, having a panda present at the an-nouncement of each new 23-story building in Ottawa would make the looming shadows over residential neighbourhoods so much easier to take. The panda, not the building, would be in the shot.

Put a panda on the west lawn of the Mu-seum of Nature when you announce that it is going to be a parking lot. Put a panda in front of CIDA when it closes.

Hey, how about the Ottawa Pandas as the name of the new CFL team? Who could object?

Sadly, there are simply not enough pandas

to go around. Already in short supply, they don’t breed as enthusiastically as they might (maybe they just like to cuddle). So just to get two to come to Canada is a pretty great thing. In the absence of pandas, the hunt is on for creatures of signifi cant cuddliness who could serve politicians as an acceptable substitute. Our customary national symbols, the beaver and the Canada goose, have enemies. Pen-guins, also celebrated in Pooch Café, would fi nd our climate too warm.

Clever politicians have already found a sub-stitute: hockey players. Wasn’t Barack Obama posing with some of them just the other day?

Editorial Policy

The cuddliness factor and Canadian politics

A tale lacking in substance

COLUMN

In the play Macbeth, Shakespeare describes life as “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.”

He just as easily could have been referring to the city’s planning process: endless meetings fi lled with talk but often devoid of discussion.

It is a process that is frustrating for the public, frustrating for city staff, and, at times infuriating for the developers.

The element of confl ict is baked into the recipe of site plans and rezoning applications – a devel-opment proposal never meets everyone’s vision of the character of the surrounding neighbourhood.

But confl ict should be an opportunity for ratio-nal discourse and a little constructive give-and-take, resulting in a compromise.

Instead, it often turns into a standoff between two diametrically opposed camps.

It drags on for months at community consulta-tions and at city hall before fi nally (in worst case scenarios) landing at the feet of the Ontario Mu-nicipal Board.

Too often we witness members of the public show up at consultation meetings armed only with emotional arguments.

Bitter words are often exchanged, but little else.

If the city wants to encourage rational discourse and limit pointless debate and time spent wasted arguing lost causes at the OMB, it must start by educating the public.

We sympathize with the public’s confusion about the planning process, with the city still trying to harmonize its zoning rules – something which hopefully will fall into place during the review of the Offi cial Plan.

It starts and ends with education.The city already offers planning primer courses

throughout the year, explaining how planners evaluate development proposals, zoning rules, how secondary plans fi t with the city’s offi cial plan and a discussion about how the OMB works.

More people might take advantage of this set of courses if they were offered throughout the city – instead of just at city hall – and working in con-junction with the various community associations that pepper the municipality.

Developers, for their part, can also participate in the process, by participating in or speaking at some of these courses.

Providing a forum for rational debate meets the needs of everyone – developers, the city and the public included.

Farmers to protest GM alfalfa on April 9

To the editor:

The National Farmers Union in Ontario has called for a national day of action for April 9 to stop the com-mercial release of GM (genetically modifi ed) alfalfa - http://www.nfu.ca/issues/stop-genetically-modified-alfalfa.

Alfalfa (commonly harvested as hay) is a high-protein forage fed to animals like dairy cows, beef cattle, lambs, poultry and pigs. It‘s also used to build nutrients and organic matter in the soil, making it particularly im-portant for organic farming. If it’s in-troduced, GM alfalfa will ruin export markets for alfalfa products, contami-nate family farms, make it more diffi -cult for farmers to control weeds, and threaten the future of organic food and farming in Canada.

Because alfalfa is a perennial plant that is pollinated by bees, genetically modifi ed alfalfa will inevitably cross-pollinate with non-GM and organic al-falfa. Prairie farmers have already re-jected GM alfalfa for these reasons so now the industry is trying to introduce GM alfalfa in Eastern Canada.

I am one of many Canadians trying to eat healthier by supporting farmer’s markets, trying to grow more of my own food and buying organic produce and products. While I live in Toronto, I support Canadian farmers who don’t want GM alfalfa or other GM crops on their fi elds.

Consider visiting the web link above or visiting www.cban.ca to fi nd out more about why you should be concerned about GM alfalfa and other GM crops. It would be appreciated if you would consider writing your MP and Minister Gerry Ritz - [email protected] regarding this important is-sue to Canadian agriculture.

CONGRATULATIONS TO BERT REITSMA

In recognition of Bert Reitsma’s many contributions to the Ward 5 community, the City of Ottawa honoured him on March 22 by naming the parkette at 100 Clifford Campbell Street as “Egbert Reitsma Parkette.” Mr. Reitsma has been a leader in Fitzroy Harbour and West Carleton since immigrating to the area in 1950. He served as Councillor for Fitzroy Harbour in the former Township of West Carleton and also served as President and Vice-President of the Fitzroy Harbour Community Association. My sincere congratulations to Mr. Reitsma. I couldn’t think of a more worthy resident to be bestowed with this honour.

EMC lifestyle - Nature frequently exhibits defi ned seasonal patterns, with major phe-nomena occurring in predictable pulses of time.

Like clockwork, carpets of spring ephem-erals paint hardwood slopes from late April through mid-May, and fl ocks of fall warblers liven trees from late August to mid-Septem-ber.

On a much smaller scale, between late March and mid-April there is another event that occurs annually.

I suppose “event” may not be accurate for unlike the fl oral explosion and songbird mi-gration there are not hundreds of individual organisms involved. In this spring phenome-non, only one animal at a time is usually seen. The animal is a River Otter and right now ot-ters can be seen lying on the ice at the edge of open water.

Next to marine-dwelling Sea Otters, Riv-

er Otters are the largest and most aquatic of all weasels. They are easily told from other aquatic mammals by their long, tapered, furred tail, which is a full third of their body length.

Their feet are webbed for fast swimming, and the tail, which is slightly fl attened from side to side, is used for bursts of speed as well as steering.

The fur is remarkably dense: nearly 58,000 hairs per square centimetre adorn the back.

Beneath the lustrous coat lies a dense layer of underfur that traps air, keeping water away from the skin. Large whiskers surround the mouth. These help their owner fi nd prey in murky waters.

During winter River Otters wander along frozen waterways, travelling overland to reach new ones. When travelling on snow, they on their belly, using it like a toboggan.

Otters are carnivores and eat fi sh, frogs, and crayfi sh. Birds and mam-mals are rarely killed, and contrary to popular legend otters do not eat Bea-vers.

I once watched an otter crunching dormant small Painted Turtles that it retrieved from the bottom of a beaver pond. The loud crunching of its ca-nines penetrating hard shells was an eerie sound.

It is their dining habits that make otters relatively easy to see at this time of year. In winter fi sh are the main food, and they are brought up to the ice to be devoured.

To see an otter, watch patches of open water. Favoured dining places are marked with remains of previous meals and blood; these sites are espe-cially worth keeping an eye on.

Where a river enters a frozen lake is often an excellent place to fi nd an otter. Recently I watched a large ot-ter eating a Bullhead, a small type of catfi sh.

It seemed to have diffi culty down-ing the fi sh’s large, bony head. After ten minutes of mastication, the feat was fi nally accomplished.

Then the otter vanished into the wa-ter. Finally, after a couple of minutes it reappeared through an opening farther down the creek.

This time it had no fi sh and climbed onto the shaded shore where it rolled in the snow, cleaning its fur.

It groomed for several minutes, then curled into a ball and fell asleep.

I waited at least ten minutes but it did not stir. I was not disappointed, however, for after eating such a large meal, a long nap seemed more than justifi ed!

The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is [email protected]

Now is the best time for seeing…

personal and comprehensive approach to assisting his clients towards the goal of improved hearing with reliable and easy to use devices.

Continued from frontThere are several horse

ranches and horse-related businesses in West Carleton.

After Finance Minister Dwight Duncan announced the province’s decision to cut funding last year, sev-eral horse people have found themselves in a dilemma.

Many of them have stopped breeding their mares and several are getting out of the business altogether.

“It’s not possible to sus-tain yourself in this industry as a horse trainer under the current model no matter how successful you are,” said MacMillan.

Despite cutting the pro-gram, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and the Ontario gov-ernment are working to fi nd a solution that will help foster

high quality racing, accord-ing to OLG spokesman Rui Brum. He said it is commit-ted to creating a sustainable racing industry that is fair to all stakeholders.

To accomplish this, the Transition of Ontario Horse Racing Industry panel was created. It looks at opportu-nities to help modernization and maintain sustainability within the industry.

“The government brought in this panel to look at ways to help ensure there is a fu-ture in the horse racing in-dustry,” said Brum.

The panel has created a re-port with recommendations that will help the industry transition into a sustainable model.

MacMillan, however, said that his association has never been approached to discuss

such changes. “The government has not

even spoken to horse people about this process, not at all,” said MacMillan. “We have routinely called them and they haven’t returned our calls.”

There hasn’t been much public consultation for the location of the permanent casino either, he added. He is currently collecting data from concerned citizen on the Casino Choice Ottawa Facebook page. He plans to bring the results to Mayor Jim Watson and his council-ors.

“We have to be concerned as horse people about the racetrack being operational and afl oat or else we have no place to race in addition to worrying about how much purse money we are going to

race for,” said MacMillan. The OLG will continue

to have a lease agreement in place with the Rideau Car-leton Raceway. It will now follow a model that more re-sembles the renter-landlord agreement, said Brum.

The municipality will con-tinue to get funds from OLG, assured Brum.

“We are working on dif-ferent agreements for that,” he said.

The horse racing industry employs about 60,000 peo-ple in Ontario. Out of that 40,000 are employed full-time while 20,000 are part-time workers. Many of them are at risk of losing their jobs with this decision.

“They (the government) are always talking about making jobs, but why take away jobs,” said Armitage.

It may also create a ripple effect through congruent in-dustries.

“It’s not just the horses. We all use trailers, we buy trucks, we buy harnesses, we buy hay,” he added. “It’s an industry.”

Despite the apprehension, horse people have rallied to fi ght the decision. They lob-bied, wrote to the govern-ment and approached their MPPs.

As such, the Ontario gov-ernment has tentatively made strides towards creating a sustainable funding model with Western Fair, Clinton, Woodbine, Mohawk, Ha-nover and Grand River race tracks.

The Rideau Carleton Raceway is not currently part of this, but is discussing al-ternative possibilities.

Continued from frontWhile debating the letter during

a March 27 city council meeting, councillors bemoaned the city’s lack

of power to oversee the issue of non-residential waste.

While municipalities are doing their parts to divert residential waste

from landfi lls by offering green-bin programs and other recycling ini-tiatives, the province does not push for commercial, industrial or institu-

tional bodies to reduce the amount of trash they send to landfi lls.

The best way to achieve diversion would be for the province to stop ap-

End landfi ll expansions in Ontario: councillorproving new or expanded landfi lls for non-residential waste, said Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, but Ontario has been “absent” on the issue.

“We need the tools from the prov-ince to be able to say no,” he said. “We are willing to make the tough decisions but we can’t do that when we don’t have the legislative tools to do so.

“Even with the magnitude of this problem, we can’t get anyone’s atten-tion.”

In the letter, the mayor also sug-gests a meeting between him, the min-ister and representatives from Waste Management.

Kate Jordan, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Environment, said the ministry acknowledges the city has outstanding concerns. She said the environmental assessment indicated “conditions of approval” required to address “some” of the city’s issues.

A coalition of community groups opposed to the landfi ll expansion is pleased with the mayor’s letter, said spokeswoman Olivia Nixon.

“It’s a strong statement from the city to the provincial ministry stating that the (environmental assessment) is defi cient,” Nixon said, adding that the community groups feel the letter supports the coalition’s position that a larger landfi ll shouldn’t be allowed at the site.

EMC lifestyle - Winter lambing is very diffi cult. Your survival rate goes way down because the little lambs are fi ghting so hard to keep warm if they are weak to begin with, they don’t stand a chance. It can be pretty depressing. The last winter lambing season we had was so brutal; we vowed to never do it again. So come Au-gust, we lock up the rams.

As soon as the summer heat begins to wane, the ewes go into season. Rambo and Philip nor-mally ‘catch’ one or two of the women before we remember to put them away. Those lambs are born at Christmas before it gets bitterly cold, which isn’t too bad. This year we managed to get the rams put away before they caught any of the girls.

But Rambo refused to stay caught. He jumped out of his pen every chance he got. It was very strange behavior; the Farmer has had him since be-fore he had his Farmwife, and

doesn’t remember him acting this way before. Anyway, there was a simple solution. Give Rambo a roomie. Or two.

The two ewes that kept Rambo company through his purgatory months must have waited until about November to go into heat. In December we let the rams out and they im-pregnated the rest of the herd. A couple weeks ago, Rambo’s roomies gave birth. The fi rst ewe caught us off guard. She wasn’t showing much of an ud-der so we didn’t realize she was ready to go. I felt awful when my husband told me over lunch that the ewe gave birth to twins in the cold, open part of the barn. Only one survived. And he didn’t think it was going to last long, either.

I hurried home from work that day. Out in the cozy lamb-ing room I found the ewe with her remaining lamb. She called to me as soon as I entered the room. As I approached the

pen, the mama stood protec-tively over her baby, which was sprawled awkwardly on its side under a heat lamp.

I was relieved to see that at least she had good maternal in-stincts.

I gave the lamb a rub and stood him on his feet. He fl opped down a few times be-fore he fi nally found his foot-ing, leaning against his patient mother, nose pointed at her hind end. He was very weak. Mama stood quietly, except for inter-mittent knickering noises and little nudges against his back-side with her nose. She wanted him to fi nd the milk.

I looked around and saw the bowl and syringe that the Farm-er uses to milk the ewe and feed colostrum to the lamb. I climbed into the pen and attempted to milk the ewe. I couldn’t draw any milk, and she quickly grew tired of my efforts. The lamb lay back down under the light. I gave mama a pat on the head and climbed back out of the pen. I would have to mix up a bottle of milk replacer or the lamb wasn’t going to make it through his fi rst night.

Back at the house, I took a clump of dry milk replacer out of the bag in the basement and brought it upstairs, where I

mixed it in a blender with hot water.

Straining the lumps, I fi lled a baby bottle. Before putting my barn jacket back on, I tucked the bottle into my shirt, against my chest to keep it just the right temperature.

On the way back to the barn I stopped at the horse stall and scooped some grain into a mar-garine container. The ewe need-ed a treat too.

When I entered the lambing room this time, the ewe was si-lent but staring at me, as if to say “shhh…don’t interrupt…”

I approached slowly and peered into the pen. There, standing on wobbly legs, was a very determined lamb, nursing with great suction power.

He lost his grip and quickly latched on again. What a relief. He was going to be just fi ne. I went back to the house and put the bottle in the freezer.

A few days later Rambo’s second roomie had her lamb, a strong single. They posed for photos and hung out in the horse stall until their room was ready.

The remainder of the lambs will come mid-April. Then it will really feel like spring. From April to May, we expect close to 100 lambs to be born.

And so it begins: the month of 100 lambDIANA FISHER

EMC news - “Our soil is a great resource, and we need to change our vision of how we manage it.” This is one conclusion from a roundtable held by Gord Miller, the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, which brought together experts and stakeholders to discuss the opportu-nities and challenges of increasing soil carbon and build-ing healthy soils.

The report from the event, “Investing in Soils for a Sustainable Future,” released recently, outlines the great potential in increasing the carbon content of our soils.

“Farmers are vulnerable to climate change,” said Miller, “but they are not helpless. As one roundtable participant put it: agriculture is 10 percent of the prob-lem, but 20 per cent of the solution. These numbers may be rough approximations, but they convey an important truth: there is much that farmers can do to both mitigate climate change and to adapt to it.”

Through the careful management of soil alone - by raising the organic-matter level in soils - farmers can help mitigate future climate change and adapt to change happening already, while at the same time cleaning wa-ter, guarding biodiversity, and ensuring productive farm-land for future generations.

The science of good soil management, however, is evolving. Evolution means change and change means new practices, new equipment, new costs, and more risks. “Our roundtable revealed a high level of agree-ment that society should share these new costs and risks with farmers,” said Miller. “The important question that remains is how to go about doing that fairly and cost-ef-fectively.”

The report summarizes the presentations made at the roundtable by a group of international experts; the dis-cussions, prompted by these presentations, of a mix of Ontario stakeholders, including farmers, academics, and government; and the Commissioner’s own take on the proceedings. You can download the report and watch videos of the presentations at www.eco.on.ca.

EMC news – A new sui-cide-prevention clinic in Renfrew County - called the fi rst of its kind in Canada - got a thumbs-up last week from an Arnprior service group.

Arnprior Rotary will com-mit money to the Youth Cri-sis Support Clinic (YCSC) after a presentation at their regular meeting March 18 on the rise of teen suicides.

In Pembroke, where the nine-month pilot project will start on July 1, there have been 19 attempts since 2010, four completions, and anywhere between 20 to 50 threats per year. But it is diffi cult to classify deaths as suicide, the taboo factor along with overlapping with other descriptions – such as single-vehicle accidents

– obscure the true numbers.Regardless of the num-

bers, parents such as YCSC founder Monique Yashin-skie have experienced fall-ing through the cracks when it comes to seeking help. Prior to her 18-year-old son Robbie Dean committing suicide, the family had few options.

“We were a family that fell into some of the gaps that existed,” said Yashin-skie, who now lives in Pet-awawa.

Teens are often less com-fortable with speaking on the phone, limiting the ef-fectiveness of the Kids Help Line. CHEO regularly has a seven-month wait list.

The Phoenix Centre in Pembroke often has a year-long wait list. For a family in crisis, that can prove too long.

The organization’s man-

date can be a barrier: some won’t accept teens older than 18, regardless of when they joined the wait list; others won’t accept people under 18.

The YCSC will welcome people of all ages and regions, including West Carleton; if suc-cessful satellite offi ces could open in Renfrew and elsewhere throughout the county. It will also train those close to youths, including government youth departments, hospital staff and others. At least that was part of the message veteran social worker Tom Sidney brought to Rotary members, Arnprior Re-gional Health’s Eric Hanna, the town youth program’s Glenn Arthur, Kayla Menkhorst, Don Gougeon, and others.

“Suicide is being talked about as if it’s a normal thing to talk about,” Sidney said. “It’s a huge, huge issue.”

The clinic will have three tiers:

• A free walk-in clinic to deal with those in immediate crisis;

• Support and guidance for family members and peers;

• A prevention of self abuse course.

Sidney was careful to say the clinic will not offer coun-seling services; the goal is to lessen the number of people in hospital emergency rooms.

Rotary’s Bruce Buie was impressed with the presenta-tion, and sees the need.

“Members of the Arnprior Rotary Club are concerned about the increasing incidence of teenage suicide and need to deal with mental health issues. This pilot project will provide an opportunity to test a new ap-proach,” Buie said. “The Arn-prior Rotary Club has commit-ted $3,500.

A similar amount has been committed by other Rotary Clubs in Renfrew Country.”

EMC news - Does your boy hide his feelings?

Could he benefi t from the camaraderie with other boys in a healthy setting?

Independent Child and Youth Counselling (ICYC) lo-cated at 1347 Stittsville Main St. is offering a 10-week group sessions for youth boys aged 10 -13 years old.

This 10-week session is fee-based and will be held on a rural West Ottawa horse ranch located in Fitzroy Harbour (25 minutes from Kanata).

The focus of the weekly groups is based on social and life skills related to issues and challenge that youth boys struggle with.

The facilitator of this group is Julie Clarke, a qualifi ed Child and Youth Care Practi-tioner.

Starting April 18 through to June 20 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. youth boys aged 10-13 years can attend 10 weekly sessions at the West Ottawa farm.

There is a low participant- to-helper ratio in order to en-hance the important therapeu-tic work a group setting offers.

Topics discussed include family, bullying, respect, ac-ceptance, feelings and self-es-teem; the intention of the group is to assist participant’s in better understanding self-regulation and awareness of emotions and feelings and how they drive our reaction (response) in certain situations.

Pre-selected male profes-sionals are also invited as guest speakers. Individuals regis-

tered to attend the group ses-sions will gain social and life skills enhancing emotional coping, understanding and de-velopment.

Participants are expected to attend each weekly session in order to preserve the quality of the group experience.

The individual fee is $45 per week and is required upon reg-istration.

A light snack, weekly com-munication and access to a qualifi ed mental health pro-vider is included.

Group work is a practical way of helping youth; there is not only a substantial savings in the cost of working directly with qualifi ed mental health professional, the safe and se-cure atmosphere that is created can help participants by nor-malizing intense feelings and emotions.

This group will change each participant’s life!

ICYC is an independently owned private child and youth counselling practice.

ICYC is a fully insured su-pervised practice and aims to provide high quality therapeu-tic mental health services for children, youth and their fami-lies.

This is a fee-based service and is not covered under pro-vincial health care, however, receipts will be provided for those who may be eligible un-der an employer group benefi t plan.

Visit ICYC’s website for more information: indepen-dentcyc.com.

Naturopathic Doctor Leesa Kirchner is the latest specialist to join the team at Carp Ridge Natural Health Clinic. She uses various medicines and methods to help mitigate the ef-fects of cancer treatment. Kirchner is also a strong proponent of active prevention when it comes to working with those in a pre-cancerous condition.

Naturopathic doctor opens IV suite at ecowellness centreDerek [email protected]

EMC news - Even as a little girl sticking needles in dolls, Leesa Kirchner knew she was destined for a life in medicine. But her experi-ences with doctors and the traditional medical system also left her wanting.

It wasn’t until she was a young woman in Montreal, while preparing for medical school, that she had an encounter with what would be-come her true calling.

“There was always something not sitting right when I would see a doctor and get a pre-scription,” she said. “I would always leave frus-trated.”

Then a friend who was also an undergradu-ate in the sciences told her about naturopathic medicine. Kirchner agreed to see a acupuncture specialist about a chronic condition she was dealing with, and the results were startling.

“Two weeks later I was fi ne,” Kirchner said from the offi ce she moved into in February.

She is one of about eight Canadian with a fellowship designation from the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology (FABNO). It means she has demonstrated competence in both naturopathic and conventional medical on-cology, and has met the highest standard of the profession.

That also means she champions an “inte-grative” approach with patients. Kirchner will study a patient’s medical history, learn the med-ications and other pertinent aspects, then devel-op a strategy to compliment the conventional treatments (including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, and surgery.)

“It’s not what I say versus what (their on-cologist) says. I try to work with them. I’ll send a letter to their doctor explaining what we are doing, and 99 per cent of the time they are OK with it,” she said. “It’s not about interferring with chemotherapy, but complimenting it. Oth-erwise, what’s the point?”

There are certain plants and nutrients that are proven to offset the painful effects of con-ventional treatment, such as hand-and-foot syn-drome - whereby skin easily falls off - suscep-tibility to infections due to a decrease in white blood cells, and others.

Along with simple dietary changes and a manageable exercise routine, Kirchner has seen success with cancer and pre-cancerous patients.

However, it is the IV vitamin C therapy that is generating the most interest. It is a fi rst for the area.

Some in the fi eld of naturopathic medicine distrust and are even antagonistic toward con-ventional treatments - especially drugs pro-vided by Big Pharma. But Kirchner is all about results.

“I’m not an anti-pharmaceuticals,” she said. “I’d like to see them broaden their horizons and do research where it is needed.”

A major reason naturopathic remedies are not always endorsed by mainstream medical leaders is because studies related to these ap-proaches end with “shows promise” and “more research needed.” Only Big Pharma has pock-ets deep enough to do that research. That’s why Kirchner and others would like to see some profi ts from pharmaceutical companies direct-ed toward what they do best - research.

LIVES NEARBY

Kirchner has about a decade of experience in her profession, starting out in private practice before becoming chief medical offi cer of an in-tegrative cancer centre in Ottawa.

She then realized she fi ts best in a private practice setting, and since she was living in nearby Constance Lake, she fi nally took up Carp Ridge founder Katherine Willow’s offer.

“I was pleased to join the Carp Ridge Ecow-ellness Centre since I am aware that it is an in-tegral part of the community.”

Kirchner fi nds working with Willow, whose approach has inspired strong admirers and some detractors, has resulted in a solid balance.

“I believe our practice styles compliment each other really well and we can both benefi t and learn from each other.”

On Saturday, April 13, from 1 to 3 p.m., Kirchner hosts a discussion on naturopathic cancer care and the IV suite. To fi nd out more, see www.crnhc.com or visit 2386 Thomas Dolan Pkwy, Carp.

EMC entertainment - Pat Weir knows how to stretch a costume budget.

As the costumes lead for the Rural Root Theatre Company’s upcoming production of The Drowsy Chaperone, she and her team have been squeez-ing every last bit of fabric they can out of a tiny budget.

A reality faced by all community theatre troupes.

Weir has assembled a dedicated and driven team of volunteers to create costumes for 23 cast mem-bers, many of whom will go through several cos-tume changes during this zany, lighthearted pro-duction which celebrates the magic of musicals.

Weir’s team includes seamstresses and assis-tants from throughout West Carleton, including Lois Thompson, Marlayne Glen, Claudette Bris-son, Anne Buckley, Helen Weeden, Julia D’Angelo and Doreen Clay.

“The Drowsy Chaperone is partially set in the roaring twenties,” says Weir. “It’s been a fun chal-lenge for our team to create costumes to refl ect that theme. We want to bring the boldness of the storyline to life, and we’re doing that with brightly coloured fabrics and glittery dresses.

“It’s going to be quite the show to see!” she added.

Costumes can be one of the most expensive as-pects of a theatrical production, but this team is using all resources to achieve the most impressive outfi ts at very little cost.

“We do things such as rework costumes from previous shows and adapt items purchased at thrift stores or clothing that is donated to us,” says Lois Thompson.

“We often make costumes from materials we have in our sewing closet,” she added.

The costumes will fi rst hit the stage at the huge-ly popular Carp Ladies’ Night at the W. Erskine Johnston Arena on April 18, when several mem-bers of The Drowsy Chaperone cast perform some numbers from the production.

The Drowsy Chaperone opens on May 7 and runs until May 11, with evening shows each night at 8 p.m.

A Saturday matinee will be held at 1 p.m. All performances are held at the Constance and

Buckham’s Bay Community Centre. Tickets can be purchased online at www.rur-

alroot.org/drowsy or by calling the box offi ce at (613) 832-1070.JENN MCMILLAN

RRTC’s choreographers Sarah Nagy and Kenzie Tompkins, shown in their costumes, will be joining the cast onstage as dancers in The Drowsy Chaperone May 7 - 11.

EMC sports - The U10 and U12 athletes travelled to Vorlage, Que. on March 16 for the Championship Slalom race, followed by the Cham-pionship GS race at Mont Ste. Marie March 17. At Champi-onships, the racers are divided into year-of-birth for the re-sults. This meant that sev-eral of Calabogie’s youngest athletes came home with the hardware!

Wyatt Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) was a triple gold medallist in the U10 2004 boys division, fi nishing fi rst over-all in both races! He brought home gold medals for slalom, GS, and overall champion. In the U10 2004 girls division, Louise Stonham of Arnprior fi nished 8th overall for the weekend, and podiumed in the GS with a 5th place ribbon. Nicole Duff (Pembroke) and Carly Alexander (Carp) were neck-and-neck, fi nishing 10th and 11th overall.

The U10 2003 boys had stellar results as well. Alex Wroe (Burnstown) fi nished 7th overall, and snagged a sil-ver medal in the GS. Jeremy Van Grunsven (Odessa) was right behind in 8th overall with a 5th place ribbon in GS. Carson Lefebvre completed the Top Ten trio with a 10th overall fi nish and a 7th place

in both slalom and GS.The U12s skied to the max!

Sam Alexander (Carp) was another triple gold medallist, coming in fi rst place in all of his races for 2002 boys. Ryan Geddie (Kanata) pulled off a season-best 16th overall. In the 2002 girls group, Annabel Wight (Kanata) and Tess Sch-reider (Kingston) put together two excellent races to fi nish 23rd and 27th overall.

The 2003 U12 racers put on a good show for the crowd. Alyssa Steggall (Stittsville) tore up the slalom course but was unfortunately DSQed. However, she roared back in the GS with a 9th place fi nish. Jack Alexander fi nished in 3rd overall, with a gold medal in the GS and a 5th place ribbon in the slalom. Sean Swayze (Braeside) skied a great sla-lom race, and picked up a 5th place ribbon in GS. Connor Allen (Manotick) fi nished 16th overall, with an amaz-ing 6th place performance in GS. Owen Barr (Carp) was 17th overall and sped to his fi rst Top Ten, coming in 10th in GS.

Tyler Lefebvre (Calabogie) and Zach Wroe (Burnstown) were 12th and 13th overall, and skied very well in slalom. In GS, Tyler was aiming for a spot on the podium after a

speedy 7th place time on his fi rst run, but crashed and recovered on his sec-ond run, sliding into 22nd. Zach also gave it all he had, and was sitting in 9th after his fi rst GS run, but the icy, rutted course caused a crash on the second.

Meanwhile, after a run at the re-gional championships March 2 and 3, the U14 racers’ season culminated with the Ontario Provincials at Camp Fortune March 14-16. This event brings together the best 12 and 13 year old racers in the province.

The event kicked off Thursday with a GS race. Skiing against some

tough competition in a fi eld of 92 athletes, Calabogie’s girls gave it all they had. Lauren Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) was the top fi nisher, splitting the list with a 50th place fi n-ish. Jenna Wissing (Kanata) was 69th, and Emma Schre-ider (Kingston) came in 79th, followed closely by Alex Kerr (Kemptville) and Jessica Earle (Greely) in 81st and 83rd. Calabogie’s boys competed against 89 racers.

Sammy Duff (Pembroke) sped into the Top Ten with an 8th place fi nish, while Alex Duff (Pembroke) rallied for 29th with a strong second run after a tough fi rst run. Competing in their fi rst Pro-vincials, brothers Connor and Liam Maclean (Manotick) put together two good runs each to fi nish 63rd and 68th. Travis Reid (Kingston) crashed on his fi rst run but laid down a solid second run.

Friday’s race was a Panel Slalom. Sammy Duff podi-umed in this race, edging into 5th place. Alex Duff recovered from crashes to fi nish 40th overall with Travis Reid hot on his heels in 41st. Connor Maclean raced to 67th and Liam Maclean to 70th. The top Calabogie girl on this day

was Jenna Wissing in 58th. Alex Kerr, Emma Sch-reider, and Jessica Earle stuck together with a 65th - 66th - 67th fi nish! Lauren Campbell-Brunke had a 51st place time in her fi rst run but couldn’t capitalize on the second.

Provincials concluded with a full-gate slalom race on Saturday. The race course was challenging, steep, and incredibly icy. Jenna, Alexandra, Jessica and Emma all laid down two solid runs. Lauren Campbell-Brunke skied to the max but unfortunately DSQed on both runs. Sam-

my Duff moved up into 3rd place while Alex Duff put together two awesome runs to land in 8th place. Travis, Connor, and Liam were all DSQed, along with half of the fi eld.

The U14s then capped off their season with a fun dual slalom at Calabogie Peaks. Sammy Duff elimi-nated all competitors to become the overall U14 champion.

Now it is time to hang up the skis for another year. Check out Calabogie Ski Racing Club at www.cala-bogieracing.com for infor-mation on next season.

EMC news - Tobacco remains the number one preventable killer with 36 Canadians dying every day from tobacco use.

The Canadian Cancer Society and Running Room have teamed up to help the two million Canadians who are still addicted to tobacco with the launch of Run to Quit, a smoking ces-sation program based on adopting running as a means to quit smoking.

Early research shows that physical activity can signifi cantly help those trying to quit. Run to Quit could revolutionize the way people quit smoking.

To help ensure success, participants can reg-ister with a friend or family member as their “quit buddy,” as well as involve their family and friends to pledge their support by donating to the Canadian Cancer Society.

“Despite all of the progress made in tobacco prevention and cessation over the past 20 to 30 years, 17 per cent of Canadians still smoke,” says John Atkinson of the Canadian Cancer So-ciety’s Ontario division. “On average, it takes people fi ve to seven attempts at quitting before remaining smoke-free.

“I tried to quit smoking eight times before I was successful and running was my key to success,” he added. “I am confi dent that Run to Quit will increase a participant’s odds of suc-cess because unlike other methods, Run to Quit combines physical activity, education and per-sonalized support.”

Run to Quit clinics will be held from April until June at a Running Room location in Ot-tawa and will also be available to all Canadians online at runtoquit.com.

Participants will receive education, resources and support from Run to Quit coaches; a run-ning program that will teach participants how to run/walk fi ve kilometres by the end of 10 weeks.

The program culminates in a graduation 5K race on June 23 in Ottawa to celebrate partici-pants’ successes.

“Research shows that physical activity can be very useful when quitting smoking,” says Otta-wa’s medical offi cer of health, Dr. Isra Levy. “Physical activity can actually reduce cravings, withdrawal symptoms, negative moods and weight gain.”

Run towards a smoke-free life with Run to Quit

Emma Smith, 14, from Dunrobin, won the overall silver medal in the Kanata Cup Rhythmic Gymnastics Competition, with silver medals for her free and rope routines, and bronze for her ribbon routine.

The next weekend she travelled to Toronto for the First Provincial Qualifying Meet and placed fourth overall, with fi fth for her free, rope and ribbon routines.

Emma will try to replicate her success on April 19-21 at the Earl of March Secondary School in Kanata where her club, the Kanata Rhyth-mic Gymnastics Club, will host gymnasts from across Ontario for the Second Qualifying Meet for the Ontario Championships.

Along with over 200 other gym-nasts, Emma will try to place in the top 60 per cent of her category to win the right to compete in the On-tario Championships.

Emma began her gymnastics ca-reer at the KRSG recreational class-es held at Old Town Hall, March Road, where she fell in love with the sport.

She auditioned for the competi-tive stream and competed as an In-terclub gymnast for two years, at-tending the World Gymnaestrada in Switzerland in 2011, before making the jump to Provincial level compe-tition last season.

EMC News –Tara Caldwell will bring a touch of Pakenham to a city that is known for its heat and parties.

Caldwell won the 2013 Miami Fashion Week Graphic Artist Poster Competition and is there this week to accept her prize.

She is currently fi nishing the graphic design program at Algonquin College after graduating from Almonte District High School in 2009.

Caldwell entered the contest as part of a class requirement that has each student fi nd a contest to enter. To fi nd the contest she simply Googled ‘Graphic Design Contest’; that was the easy part.

“It took a couple of months to put it together. I had ten other drafts and I had a lot of revi-sions,” said Caldwell. “I got a lot of feedback from my teachers, classmates and friends, which helped a lot.”

The winning design has a large ‘M’ for Mi-ami featuring a runway model from last year’s event. Part of the criteria was to only use im-ages from past events.

“I emailed them to ask if I could use a photo and they sent me access to a site with a gallery of photos,” said Caldwell. “I liked her (model’s) look, it was really intense and I added the veil over her eyes in Photoshop.”

Merri Grace McLeroy of Integrated Market-ing Strategies was the main judge for the poster competition and thought Caldwell’s poster was very strong. She called the design very fresh, dramatic, fashionable and strong.

“I loved the architectural look of it. It’s very structured with clean hard edges and had a very high fashion impact,” said McLeroy. “It spoke fashion very well; the dramatic and theatrical aspects of fashion.

The international competition had 40 entries and McLeroy says Caldwell’s design stood out.

“It’s a particular look and it’s different look with a very strong and powerful graphic,” said

McLeroy. As part of her prize, Caldwell also won a one-

hour review of her portfolio with McLeroy. Caldwell said she is interested in fashion but

is by no means an expert; however the design came to her after she realized there was a strong connection between the letter ‘M’ and the fash-ion world.

She explained that the letter ‘M’ reminded her of a deep neckline that many of the mod-els wear on the runway. She then carried this concept through to her poster, combining the giant ‘M’ with the model. Caldwell also used photo manipulation, font treatment and sizing, to complete her poster.

She had to submit her entry by Jan. 30 and found out via email she had won while in Pakenham over her recent reading break from school.

“It was pretty crazy. I was at my parent’s house and I was just casually checking my email when I saw it,” recalled Caldwell. “I jumped out of bed and ran and told my dad I had won the contest.”

Both her parents, Eric and Julie Caldwell, are very proud of their daughter’s accomplishment. “I was really happy with how it turned out but I didn’t think I would win,” admitted Caldwell. “I was optimistic but I knew my chances of winning were slim, but this is a nice surprise.”

She feels that the win validates that she is go-ing into the right profession.

“It gives me more to expand my design ca-reer and winning this contest assures me I am going in the right direction,” she said.

She is now in the Sunshine State from March 19 to 26 and has won admission to the show where she will receive her award as the Inter-national Student Graphic Artist of the Year on stage in front of international media and be pre-sented with a cash prize.

“I’m so excited. It will be so nice to add the award to my portfolio and it will be really cool to see my poster all over Miami,” Caldwell con-cluded.

The poster at left was created by Paken-ham’s Tara Caldwell and it won the 2013 Miami Fashion Week Graphic Artist Poster Competition. Caldwell is in Miami this week to accept her prize on stage during fashion week.

EMC news - The Kanata Food Cupboard helped more than 2,500 families in 2012, up from 1,670 in 2011.

It also implemented new initia-tives, including the grocery store concept and a warehouse to help streamline the sorting process, said Marc Dumais, chair of the food cupboard, at the annual general meeting on March 20.

With a growing client demand and new projects, for the fi rst time the food cupboard ran a defi cit in 2012. The organization was in the red more than $31,100, with reve-nues coming in at $199,800 and ex-penses sitting at $230,900. In 2011 revenues sat at $238,000 while ex-penses totalled $216,000.

One of the reasons for the drop in revenue was a 53 per cent decline in business donations. Total donations declined by eight per cent in 2012, while total fundraising was down by 23 per cent. One of the biggest expenses was renting the ware-

house location at 2 The Parkway, which cost $28,300, but that was in the plan, said Dumais.

The organization has four large fundraising initiatives a year and in 2012. The Canada Day Races at Earl of March Secondary School in July brought in $3,000 and 150 pounds of food, the Food For Thought event at the Holiday Inn in November raised $8,145 and 220 pounds of food, the Santa Claus Pa-rade in November brought in $5,000 in cash donations and 5,500 pounds of food and the OC Transpo Fill the Bus event in December raised $ 3,200 and eight tonnes of food.

Board member Pat Dowsett said the food cupboard is looking at new opportunities, which includes pos-sible partnerships with the Sens Foundation and the CIS National Basketball Championship.

The food cupboard spent $74,600 in food vouchers in 2012, up from $69,120 in 2011.

Although the organization is planning for another defi cit in 2013, Dumais said the food cupboard is planning to expand its fundrais-

ing initiatives and get back into the black.

“This is not a cause for concern,” he said about the defi cit, adding the food cupboard has a reserve fund of $193,000 in assets.

In 2012, the Kanata Food Cup-board launched its Grocery Store initiative, which allows families to shop for the foods they like and need, instead of receiving a pre-packaged hamper.

“Our clients prefer the Grocery Store concept,” said Dumais.

It’s also a time saver, said board member Jonathon Dicker, because volunteers no longer have to pack the hampers.

“It took a lot of work but it was worthwhile,” said Dicker. “It cre-ates more interaction between cli-ents and volunteers.”

The next plan is to introduce the fresh foods concept, which will al-low clients to pickup fresh produce at the food cupboard.

“We’ve already started down this path,” said Dumais, adding they provide clients with milk and bread.

During the day, the outhouse held little terror for me. It was at night, when it was pitch black outside, that I dreaded

the small clapboard building that sat like a sentry behind a clus-ter of cedar trees in our back yard.

Mother hated the outhouse for an entirely different reason. After living in New York for 18 years, she thought going out-side to the bathroom was right up there with drinking tea from a saucer or wearing a soiled apron when company came to the back door.

“Uncivilized. That’s all it is, just plain uncivilized,” was her constant lament.

Well, we had no choice out there in the back woods of Ren-frew County. Our chances of having a fl ush toilet, like my little friend Joyce had in her brick house, were absolutely nil.

We had no running water and there was no electricity or tele-phone. The very thought of having a fl ush toilet in the house was like dreaming the Depression wasn’t happening!

For the longest time when I was very little, I remember our outhouse having only one hole. But eventually, after Mother com-plained endlessly, a new one was built by Old Herman, who was considered an outhouse authority out there in Northcote for rea-sons which escaped me at the time. It was after the second hole was built that my sister Audrey pointed out the bevelled seat Old Herman was famous for.

Well, the bevelled seat did little to endear the outhouse to Mother and did less for me, who still dreaded going out once night had settled in. Old Herman had put a latch on both the inside and outside of the door too, which was a vast improve-ment over the stone on the fl oor that you shoved with your foot to keep the door closed once you got seated.

Yes, the new outhouse was an improvement, but Mother still lamented daily about how it was “an uncivilized way of life” which she never quite got used to. My friend Joyce also had a store-bought roll of real toilet paper in her indoor bathroom.

It hung on a wire holder on the wall and even when I didn’t have to go, I never failed to use the bathroom when I visited her house. I would reef off a piece of that store-

bought toilet paper, just to witness the sheer luxury of the whole experience.

Our toilet paper was the no-longer current issue of the Ea-ton’s catalogue. Father would drive a spike through the upper left corner of the thick book and feed a piece of heavy binder-twine through the hole, and hang it on a nail on the inside near the door. An entire page was never fully torn out, and by the time the catalogue was well used up, it was almost useless. But it was all we had. Well, except at Christmas time.

This was when Mother would ask Mr. Briscoe if she could have the little orange wrappers that came around the oranges he brought in to his General Store only at Christmas. They were only about six inches square, but she would iron them fl at and put them in the back-to-the-wall cupboard in a neat little pile and they replaced the Eaton’s catalogue in the outhouse only when we had company. We children were well warned not to use the orange papers -- they were there for a higher clientele.

A big pail of lime sat in a corner of the little black outhouse and we were instructed to use a dipper of it often. I confess, I found that chore had little appeal to me.

During the day, I had little fear of going into the outhouse, but once it got dark at night, I was fi lled with dread. So as soon as the daylight started to fade, I made awfully sure I made a trip out behind the trees to the little building.

But the very thought of going through the entire night with-out emptying my bladder was all it took to create an urgent need. This was when I would beg Audrey to come with me.

She thought I was old enough at fi ve or six to go on my own,

so I would ask her to light the lantern even thought it had yet to get absolutely dark out.

I would go through the summer kitchen and then the wood shed, a long-about way of getting there, because that way I was under cover for most of the trip.

My brother Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be to scare the living daylights out of me every chance he got, would always warn me to stay clear of the coyotes or the big black bear

he assured me would like nothing better than to haul a young girl off to the bush.

So going out to the outhouse became a constant challenge for me once it got dark at night. There was always the Johnny pot under the bed, but to use it before we retired was out of the question.

It was there for emergencies, Mother said. I couldn’t think of a more dire emergency than forcing a

young terrifi ed girl out in the dark at night to go to the privy.Like the silos that were on every farm, the tin mailboxes at

the end of the lanes, the hay lofts, the pumps over the wells in the middle of the yards and piles of manure at the back of every barn, the outdoor privy was very much a sign of the times dur-ing the 1930s.

Each very much a necessity for our very survival.

Using the outhouse at night a scary proposition

Enjoy an easy and nutritious pot of oatsEMC lifestyle - Mornings

are hectic for many families. Between getting out the door to school on weekdays and extra-curriculars on week-ends, fi nding the time to cook and eat breakfast can be a challenge.

A national poll of Cana-dian family breakfast habits, recently found that half of Ca-nadian families (49 per cent) spend less than 10 minutes preparing breakfast, while more than half (60 per cent) spend less than 15 minutes eating it. So, to make the most of that tight time window, and take utmost advantage of the most important meal of the day, quick options are a must.

Realizing that time and convenience are key to the solution, the Canadian Liv-ing magazine test kitchen, partnering with Minute Maid, has created a “make ahead and forget about it” breakfast recipe that is sure to become a family staple.

SLOW COOKER PEACHES ‘N’ CREAM OATMEAL

Hands-on time: fi ve min-utes

Total time: six hoursMakes six to eight to 8

servings

Ingredients1 1/3 cups steel-cut oats3/4 tsp salt3 tbsp packed brown sugar1 tsp ground ginger2 cups Minute Maid Chilled

Peach Juice Beverage1 cup milk1 cup water1 tbsp vanilla2 cups frozen peachesmilk or cream (optional)

DirectionsLightly grease inside of

slow cooker. Add oats, salt, sugar, ginger, juice bever-age, milk, water, vanilla and peaches; stir together. Cover

and cook on low for 6 hours. If needed, set slow cooker to keep oatmeal warm until ready to enjoy. Spoon into bowls; drizzle with milk if desired.

Per one serving, recipe makes eight servings about 144 cal, 4 g pro, 2 g total fat (1 g sat. fat), 30 g carb (2 g di-etary fi bre, 19 g sugar), 2 mg chol, 237 mg sodium, 203 mg potassium. % RDI: 5% cal-cium, 7% iron, 3% vit A, 22% vit C, 2% folate.

EMC lifestyle - The organic food and drink industry has expanded rapidly, experienc-ing an average growth of 20 per cent per year on a global scale.

What motivates people to buy organic foods? Health, wholesomeness, and respect for the environment are sure to be found at the top of the list.

An organic-certifi ed food is produced without the use of any chemical products. The difference between organic and non-organic foods is the absence of all chemical pesti-cides, herbicides, and preser-vatives.

Eating organic, like our an-cestors did, is the only way to avoid the involuntary con-

sumption of substances that are potentially hazardous to our health.

Did you know that over time, the ingestion of many food industry chemical sub-stances can lead to a weaken-ing of the immune system and have harmful effects on the mental, cognitive, and physi-cal development of children? In addition, numerous studies have shown that the current antibiotics resistance observed in humans is the direct result of the use of growth hor-mones and medications given to cattle and pigs raised for slaughter. This is just one of the reasons why organic food is increasingly popular among consumers.

An organic product does not contain any more vitamins than a similar non-organic product. A carrot is still a car-rot, whether it’s organic or not.

Choosing to buy organic is based solely on ecological and social reasons. Buying an or-ganic carrot means knowing exactly what is on your plate.

Even better, buying locally produced organic foods means encouraging local producers and reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced by the transportation of food over long distances. What a great way to contribute directly to the good health of our country and make the most of Mother Nature’s bounty.

Know what’s really on your plate

leton.We’re going to learn a lot about the food we eat, nutrition,

menu planning, reading labels, etc. and make it fun.This program is for families - parents and kids (8 years and

up), who want to learn more about food and enjoy creating meals together.

There’s a lot to be said for families that cook together.We start each session with a physical activity, do some chat-

ting about food and nutrition then prepare a meal together and eat it.

We’ll have guest speakers, like Dr. Barry Bruce from the Carp Medical Center, a public health inspector, the public health nurse, and even a ‘road trip’ to a local dairy farm.

This program is funded by a grant from the Anglican Church

in Carp, Daily Bread Project.I can only accept 20 participants, so please pass the word and

if you are interested sign up soon.Classes run for six weeks, starting April 19 at the Kinburn

Community Centre, starting at 6 p.m. The one time cost is $18 per family.

It’s going to be so much fun.To register, phone Gail at 613-839-3978 or online at thecar-

[email protected].

MacLaren tours riding with PC health critic

EMC News – Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren hosted the Ontario PC Party Health Critic and Deputy Leader MPP Christine El-liott on a tour of Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding on March 15.

The MPP from Whitby-Oshawa got a fi rsthand look at the exciting de-velopments taking place at Almonte General Hospital and saw how it’s blazing a trail for others to follow.

The MPPs were led on a tour of the facility by hospital chief executive offi cer (CEO) Mary Wilson Trider, and members of the hospital’s board of directors and staff.

“I wanted Christine to see fi rst hand the good things that are happen-ing at the Almonte General Hospital,” said MacLaren.

“The Almonte General Hospital was identifi ed by NRC Picker as one of Ontario’s top performing hospitals. This rating was for acute care patient

satisfaction and for the number of emergency department patients who said they would recommend the hos-pital to their family and friends.”

Friday’s tour also gave Elliott and MacLaren an opportunity to discuss with the hospital’s leadership team the Ontario PC’s recently released white paper: ‘Paths to Prosperity: A Healthier Ontario.’

“They are a leader among small hospitals in Ontario and have set an example of how integral a dynamic health care facility is to the success of a growing community like Almonte,” added MacLaren.

After the Almonte General Hospi-tal visit, MPPs Elliot and MacLaren met with about 15 parents, private caregivers and concerned citizens to talk about autism.

The discussion dealt mostly with the overwhelming emotional and fi nancial stress on parents and the grossly inadequate support from gov-ernment in the form of treatment pro-grams and fi nancial aid.

“As a society, I believe we have a moral obligation to help those who are unable to help themselves,” said MacLaren. “I’ve spoken to many par-ents with special needs children and most are having a hard time getting them into programs and are facing real fi nancial hardships. We must do better.”

Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren, left, and Ontario Progressive Conservative Health Critic and Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott, second from left, were impressed with their tour of Almonte General Hospital (AGH), Fairview Manor and the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team facilities on March 15. Above, with MacLaren and Elliott is Fairview Manor director of resident care, Pam Murphy, third from left; AGH president and chief executive offi cer, Mary Wilson Trider, second from right; and hospital board member and fi nance committee chair Susan Muston.

EMC news - The Grassroots Festival has switched locations due to a leak in the Montgomery legion’s roof.

The festival was planned to take place at the Kent Street facility on April 27 and 28, but repairs to the legion’s roof, which was damaged this winter, will not be complete in time said festival organizer Robert Nes-bitt.

“Repairs after a severe roof leak in the winter are taking longer than expected to complete and the legion will not be ready for us by the end of April,” Nesbitt said. “This is really nobody’s fault; it is just Mother Nature at work.”

The legion, Nesbitt added, has helped the festival organizers fi nd a new venue, which will be the Rideau Curling Club.

The Grassroots Festival has expanded to a two-day event after a successful inaugural year in 2012.

In total, there will be 120 musical performances, including performances from Ana Miura, Amanda Rheaume, Wendell Ferguson and Suzie Vinnick on Sat-urday night.

Sunday night will feature Andy Rush, The Weekend Choir and Big Soul Project. Sunday’s concert will help raise money for CKCU FM, a volunteer-run radio sta-tion in Ottawa.

For music lovers or learners, there will be more than 34 hours of free entertainment during the daytime with multiple opportunities to learn a thing or two from some local Ottawa musicians at any of the free work-shops and performances during the weekend.

Ticket prices are $25 for Saturday night, $15 for Sunday night, and $35 for a weekend pass. More infor-mation about the festival is available at www.ottawa-grassrootsfestival.com.

EMC news – Algonquin College students got their close-up, and for a good reason.

The school received a visit from CBC television per-sonality Rick Mercer, who was taping an episode of The Rick Mercer Report on campus following the release of fundraising numbers for his Spread the Net Student Challenge.

Of all the post-secondary campuses involved in the anti-malaria initiative, Algonquin came out on top, with $40,394 raised through the actions and donations of stu-dents and staff.

The school’s goal was $15,000.A group of very enthusiastic students gathered in the

Algonquin Commons Theatre on March 18 to await the fundraising total and the appearance of the challenge’s creator.

David Corson, president of the Algonquin Students’ Association, called the occasion “a celebration of hard work,” describing how the whole thing started last year when a student approached him with both a dream and a plan to make it happen.

“We said ‘what can we do,’ and it looks like everyone else said the same thing,” said Corson.

“We had two months in which to achieve what we did, and that shows the size of the heart of Algonquin … You all came together – it’s amazing. You inspire me every day.”

Algonquin College president Kent MacDonald praised his students for their generosity and energy, explaining that those qualities will take them places.

“Every single one of us can be a leader in an organiza-tion like this,” said MacDonald. “The staff and faculty decided this was so important that they brought the idea forward, they had a dream and a goal, and you’ll hear shortly that it was greatly surpassed.”

MacDonald congratulated the students for taking the initiative to take their learning outside the classroom, and for affecting change in the lives of people they’ve never met.

Mercer – with his trusty cameraman – arrived onstage in distinctive showman’s style, walking out from behind an ascending panel, backlit, with artifi cial fog to amplify the effect.

The students responded in a big way.“I realized when we started this contest that it was

kind of an unfair contest,” admitted Mercer, describing how from the outset the winning school would be the one to get the publicity.

However, he said, students didn’t seem to care.“They believe in this, they believe in (Spread the Net),

they believe it can happen, students like yourself,” said Mercer, describing the $1.1 million raised countrywide by students who supported the initiative.

“You might be the biggest school in Canada, you might be the biggest college in Canada, but certainly Al-gonquin College, as far as I am concerned, you are the most generous.”

Both dogs are shy but warm up once they are familiar with you, they are active with lots of energy to burn. They are crate trained and housebroken with good manners. They are good with some other dogs but would prefer a home without cats or small children. Willow & Whisper would be best suited in a home with breed experience and a fully fenced yard.

2012 Juno Award Winners

EMC events - The Arnprior Dupli-cate Bridge Club is hosting it’s 4th an-nual Sectional Tournament from April 12-14. The Arnprior Sectional has quickly established itself as one of the best-run, most successful tournaments from anywhere. In fact, it has been de-scribed as the best-run tournament in North America. Period. We hope you will join us – the players, volunteers and local businesses – in helping to make the 2013 Arnprior Sectional the best ever.

We invite you to join our growing list of donors and sponsors that last year provided more than $8,000 worth of merchandise, gift certifi cates and coupons,

The Arnprior Sectional is quite a story. From the outset, our committee of volunteers committed to a vision of a friendly, well-run tournament where everyone leaves well-satisfi ed, well-treated, and well-fed. The fi rst year (2010) roughly 500 people came to Arnprior to play in this tournament. In 2011, we attracted almost 800 players from as far away as 300km. In 2012, we welcomed more than 900 players and we distributed more than $8,000 in prizes. The target for 2013 is for a 10-20% increase. Players are attracted by the high quality organization, warm hospitality, abundant free snacks, deli-cious, affordable on-site meals and an array of prizes that is truly mind bog-gling.

This is where we ask for your help. Your donation of merchandise, cou-pons, gift certifi cates or cash would be added to the more than 500 donated prizes and gifts that are awarded for fi rst, second and third in each compet-itive session in addition to door prizes, lucky draws and giveaways. No one leaves empty-handed.

The Arnprior and area commu-nity has been so supportive of our efforts and we, in turn, are happy to give back. Over the recent years, the Arnprior Duplicate Bridge Club has donated more than 25,000 in cash to the Arnprior Public Library as well as a $300 commercial coffee maker and a fl at screen television. In 2012 we gave a commercial refrigerator to the Arnprior Civic Centre, $1,000 to the Arnprior Hospital for a new mammo-gram machine, $500 to the A.J. Char-bonneau Public School for playground equipment, a gift to the Humane So-ciety and a $250 bursary for the Arn-prior High School.

We hope you will join us as a donor or a sponsor. We will ensure appropri-ate recognition of all donors and spon-sers at the Tournament and in the local press. Wee would be happy to provide to you, as a sponsor, with space for a lobby display.

EMC events – It’s home show time in Pakenham. The 2013 edition of the Pakenham Home Show is

set to go from Friday, April 5 to Sunday, April 7 with more than 60 exhibits and fun valley entertainment at the Stewart Community Centre.

Tiffany MacLaren, community economic and cul-tural coordinator for Town of Mississippi Mills, en-courages people to take in the show to fi nd out about spring trends and much more.

“The Pakenham Home show has been around for over 20 years and continues to grow in popularity,” said MacLaren, in an email to the Canadian-Gazette. “This year our booth space sold out in less than two weeks. The show provides a fantastic opportunity for residents to come out of hibernation visit with neighbours and see what’s new in home and garden. This popular event offers a great variety of vendors and excellent valley entertainment in a one-stop location.”

This year the show will welcome more than a doz-en new vendors as well as many favourites from past shows.

MacLaren thinks the Pakenham Home Show is a great event for all Mississippi Mills residents.

“The show provides an opportunity for visitors to see what’s new in home and garden, a chance to get those creative juices fl owing and start planning their summer project lists,” said MacLaren. “The show also provides vendors with an excellent opportunity to pro-mote new products and services to guests.”

Another reason to stop by is for a chance to win one of a number of door prizes, such as a lawn mower sponsored by TRU Country and Garden, $1,000 off a hot tub from Mahon Pools, $1,000 off a hot tub from Cobra Pools and Spas, or a $1,000 gift certifi cate for new appliances provided by Scheel Furniture.

The show opens Friday from 6 to 9 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and fi nishes off Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Along with the show there will be a number of chances to enjoy some true valley music. Entertainment will be provided Friday from 8 p.m. to midnight, Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m.

MacLaren says the Countrymen are back “by popular demand” to entertain upstairs Sat-urday and Sunday as well as new local guest musicians Brad Scott, Doug Russell, Al Cruise (Cruis N’Country), Barry Munro, Judy Moffat and Johnny Spinks.

On Friday night the Pakenham Square Dance Club is hosting an Ol’ Type Round and Square Dance and tickets are available at the door.

For more information on the event, contact MacLaren at 613-256-1077 or visit the town’s website: www.mississippimills.ca.
