Smith cemetery gets
a facelift
COURTNEY SYMONS
An historical society has 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 on Aug. 13.
The society also dedicated a plaque to the refur-bished cemetery.
Catherine Wilson, the great-great-granddaughter of the Smiths, still lives in the home that they built; a house that has now been in the family for 123 years.
PRIVATE CEMETERIES
Before organized public graveyards, families would bury their loved ones on their own property.
But today, these graveyards on private property are not included in the provincial Cemetery Act, and landowners receive no assistance to maintain the burial grounds.
That’s where the historical society came in.The group offered their help to re-clear the land,
create a new metal fence to replace the previous wooden one that cows wreaked havoc on, and creat-ed a commemorative plaque for the Smith cemetery, presented during a ceremony on Wilson’s property to honour the pioneers buried in the cemetery.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, said four-year cancer survivor Carole McCaskill.
The 49-year-old Fitzroy Harbour woman, who was diagnosed with ovarian and brain cancers in 2007, said she turned her life around with good nutrition, exercise and healthy living – using tips offered by the group Prevent Cancer Now.
“I just started eating extremely healthy and changing my lifestyle, and, knock on wood, I’m still here.”
Now, McCaskill wants to educate others about how they can avoid de-veloping cancer by introducing pre-ventative habits into their lifestyles.
McCaskill and Jake Cole, the co-chair of Prevent Cancer Now, will offer a multi-media presentation, Prevention is the Cure, at the Kanata Baptist Church on Aug. 30, running from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
“I bring a unique perspective, hav-ing survived cancer,” said McCaskill. “I want to give back and hopefully people will listen.”
When McCaskill was diagnosed with cancer four years ago she imme-diately turned to Google, researching online ways to combat the diseases.
“I had this attitude, what can I do to help myself ?,” said McCaskill.
Her doctor told her to get plenty of rest and to drink Boost, a nutritional drink that would help her avoid rap-id weight loss during her chemother-apy treatments.
“I looked on the lable and it was all sugar and crap,” she said.
McCaskill started following some of the advice in Cancer: 101 Solu-tions to a Preventable Epidemic, a book written by Liz Armstrong, Guy Dauncey and Anne Wordsworth, which recommended adopting a healthy lifestyle, with good nutrition and plenty of exercise.
“I really believe in a lot of the stuff. I’m following a lot of the recommen-dations,” said McCaskill.
She started eating organic healthy fruits and vegetables, drinking a pro-tein shake mixed with fresh blueber-ries everyday and began a walking program.
When she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, McCaskill was told the average life expectancy is 16 months.
“I’m well past that,” she said. “It’s been four years now.”
McCaskill joined the group Prevent Cancer Now, a national organization created in 2007 that educates people on how to live healthy to lower the
risks of the onset of cancer.The presentation on Aug. 30, Pre-
vention is the Cure, offers many of the tips McCaskill used during her cancer treatments,
The presentation is free but the in-formation is priceless, said Jake Cole, co-chair of Prevent Cancer Now.
“We seem to be after the cure and the treatments and the early treat-ments,” said Cole. “The prevention is left out.”
Cancer is the number one killer in Canada, said Cole.
This year, more than 117,800 people will contract it for the fi rst time and 75,000 will die from the disease, said Cole.
Nearly half of all men and women will eventually contract cancer, while one in four will die from the disease, he added.
“These statistics should invoke both fear and outrage,” said Cole. “Instead we seem to be complacent, accepting cancer as an unwanted, but somehow inevitable part of liv-ing.”
But a signifi cant number of can-cers can be prevented, he said.
“Following a growing body of evi-dence, we see the potential to pre-vent cancer in 80 per cent of cases,” he said. “Some believe this number could be even higher.”
A great deal of money is spent pur-suing a cure for cancer but only two per cent of health spending goes to-wards prevention, said Cole.
McCaskill has a simple explana-tion for the lack of investment in cancer prevention.
“There’s no money in patenting broccoli,” she said. “Lots of drug companies and a lot of people benefi t
from cancer – there’s big money in cancer and cancer treatments.”
PREVENTION TIPS
The Prevention is the Cure presen-tation will offer a number of cancer prevention tips including:
• Don’t smoke.• Eat an organic, plant-based diet.• Exercise.• Buy environmentally-friendly
cosmetics, cleansers and other com-mon drugstore products.
• Avoid cellphone use.“While treatments improve mar-
ginally and some lives are extended, we seem to miss the obvious fi rst choice: stop the disease before it starts,” said Cole.
Cole, a Kanata resident and former Green Party candidate for Carleton-Mississippi Mills in the 2008 federal election, said Prevent Cancer Now fi ts in nicely with the Green’s health platform of disease prevention.
The Aug. 30 cancer prevention talk is hopefully the fi rst of many across Ottawa and eventually Canada, said Cole.
Jonathan Mills, a pastor at Kanata Baptist Church, said his church was happy to host the fi rst Prevent Can-cer Now talk.
“Cancer is a devastating disease,” he said. “As a pastor I have walked with many families through the dev-astation of cancer – it’s a very pain-ful and devastating journey. For some it ends with death, for others it ends with physical and emotional scars.”

The Great River Adventure is moving closer to West Car-leton.
The paddlers entered the stretch of the Ottawa River north of Renfrew this week.
However, paddlers will not be back for the Portage du Fort to Ottawa ‘Take Action’ segment until Sept. 7 to 11, when there are expected to hold meetings along the river in Bristol, Arn-prior, Fitzroy Harbour, Quoyon, Constance Bay, Shirley’s Bay and Aylmer.
There is also sessions planned for the Chats Dam and Marshall Bay at the mouth of the Mississippi River,.
The group of paddlers led by Ottawa Riverkeeper Meredith Brown was scheduled to stop in Pembroke Tuesday, take part in a community corn roast in Da-vidson Wednesday and arrive in Portage this Saturday Aug. 20.
The trek to document the state of the Ottawa River en-tered its third phase Saturday at Des Joachims with its 170-ki-lometre-long ‘Our Future Lead-ers’ phase.
Joining the main group were 10 high school students from throughout the watershed.
They are accompanied by their guiding trainer and edu-cator Colin Bunge and are trav-elling in a Canadian Voyageur Adventures voyageur canoe owned by Alistair Baird of Arnprior.
Also on the trip is photogra-pher Mike Beedell.
The combined group is trav-elling the culturally rich sec-tion of the river in historic voyageur canoes, guided by Ca-nadian Voyageur Outfi tters.
The students are actively participating in research, re-
porting and web broadcasting as they make the eight-day journey.
Their goal is to report on the state of the river and inspire their peers to be-come more involved in com-munity water stewardship. Partners on this part of the trip include the Canadian Canoe Foundation and Esprit Raft-ing, which hosted Wednesday’s corn roast, in which folk singer Ian Tamblyn entertained.
At the Pembroke stop, the paddlers raised such issues as heritage status for the river, dam development along the Petawawa River and the pass-ing of one of the river’s biggest boosters, William Commanda.
The trek will resume Sept. 7 in Portage du Fort. In the 140-km stretch to Ottawa, the team is encouraging people to paddle with the Riverkeeper.
The Bonnechere River Wa-tershed Project and Ottawa River Institute will greet the Riverkeeper at the Horton boat launch at the mouth of the Bonnechere River on Wednes-day, Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. for a shore lunch and discussion on the heritage and health of the Ot-tawa River and its tributaries such as the Bonnechere.
Students from Opeongo High School’s native studies class have been invited to attend.
At the end of the fourth of fi ve stages, the fl otilla of ca-noes will paddle into the Na-tional Capital Region and land on Victoria Island for a celebra-tion either on Sept. 10 or 11.
The fi nal stage of the 900-km journey will begin at Victoria Island on national Rivers Day (Sept. 25) and end in Montreal.
Those interested in follow-ing the trek, which began July 4, can follow on the expedition blog on the website http://grp.ottawariverkeeper.ca/.

A West Carleton man won a prestigious acting award in Cal-gary on Aug. 8.
Paul Welch grew up in West Carleton before moving to Cal-gary to pursue his career in the-atre.
He was nominated for the Bet-ty Mitchell Award for Outstand-ing Performance by an Actor in a Comedy or a Musical for his role in the play With Bells on at Lunchbox Theatre in Calgary.
At a ceremony at a Stage West dinner theatre on Aug. 8,
Welch won the award in a tie with another contender, Chris-topher Hunt, for his work at Vertigo Theatre.
“It was a lot of fun to see ev-eryone dressed up and ready to celebrate, particularly since we usually only see each other in re-hearsal clothes and costumes,” Welch said of the ceremony.
“It was a wonderful opportu-nity for the professional theatre community to come together and celebrate the passion and creativity and hard work that brought these stories to life over the past season.”
Welch’s award-winning role was a drag queen dressed up as a Christmas tree who gets stuck in an elevator with an uptight business man.
The recognition and honour of the theatrical community wasn’t the only positive result from the award, Welch said.
“What’s more important to me is the amount of excitement and pride both my parents have at my achieving this sort of suc-cess in my career,” he said.
“This isn’t an easy profession to pursue, and I know that my parents are invested in my suc-cess and happiness.”
Welch’s parents used to live in West Carleton, but have retired to their cottage home in Ren-frew County.
The excitement of the award hasn’t died down yet, but Welch is already looking ahead.
He has been offered the posi-
tion of voice, speech and text instructor at Rocky Mountain College in Calgary for their two-year theatre arts diploma pro-gram.
“I am very excited for this op-portunity to teach and inspire young students of the theatre,”
he said, “and I am also excited to further explore my own un-derstanding of the craft, to take my own skills deeper and fur-ther.”
The Betty Mitchell Awards celebrate and honour the pro-fessional theatre community.

CEMETERY, from 1
“I think it’s very important that we keep history alive,” said Willis Gourlay, director of the Fitzroy Township His-torical Society. “We wouldn’t be here if not for our forebearers who worked and slaved and did without.”
In 1828, Gourlay’s great-great-grandfa-ther came to what is now West Carleton from Ireland, and bought his fi rst piece of land in Kinburn in 1833 – around the same time as the Smith’s were beginning to settle the land.
“I’ve always been interested in the his-tory of this area because I was born and raised here, and my family helped to settle and clear the forest just like the Smiths,” Gourlay said. “It wasn’t hard to whet my interest.”
William Fredrick Smith, buried in the Smith Pioneer Cemetery, began to clear the land in Fitzroy Township in 1829, and was one of the fi rst pioneers in the area. He married a 17-year-old girl from Le Chats (now Fitzroy Harbour) named Sarah Jane Nicholson, and they had 10 children together.
A shoemaker by trade, Smith raised his own cattle, tanned their hides and provid-ed boots for his entire family and other nearby pioneers.
Their granddaughter, Ada Barnet, wrote letters in the 1940’s paying homage to her grandparents.
“I remember what my grandfather looked like,” she wrote. “He was tall with the bluest eyes and pure white hair and beard, (a) kindly but stern old gentle-man… What a full and happy life they had,” she said of her grandparents. “Mak-ing their homes out of the pine forest, building their barns and planting their large orchards.”
The cemetery lies in the very orchard that they planted, which Barnet thought was a suitable resting place.
“Grandmother and grandfather were
laid to rest in the old orchard which they planted and cared for… on the farm where they lived their honourable and useful lives.”
Barnet is Wilson’s grandmother, and Wilson shared the now-ragged letters with the Fitzroy Township Historical Society.
At the dedication ceremony on Aug. 14, the only surviving founding member of the historical society, Mervyn Tripp, was there to share in the celebration.
Retired Rev. Jack Lougheed stood up to say a few words, and deliver more than a few laughs.
He suggested that families today should take the initiative to write their own fam-ily histories, and not be afraid to ask their surviving ancestors about their story.
“You may think we’re not very smart – we are smart,” he said. “We may be losing our marbles, but we still have some left.”
This was the third pioneer cemetery the society has helped to preserve. The fi rst was the Landon Cemetery in 1991, which also lies on a Carp Road property; the second was the MacMillan Cemetery in 1995 on Diamondview Road.
In addition to cemetery preservation, the society has also published two books. The fi rst was published in 1989, titled Be-yond Our Memory, and tells the history of the Fitzroy Township, the historic area that includes today’s Fitzroy Har-bour, Galetta, Kinburn and Antrim. Our Heritage Homes was published in 2001, featuring photographs and historical in-formation for more than 350 homes in the township.
They also host an annual dinner. This year, it will take place on Oct. 15 and guest speaker Patricia Roberts-Pichette will share the history of the homeboys. Groups of orphaned children were sent to Canada from England, Ireland and Scot-land from around 1870-1936 to begin new lives. Many descendents of these home-boys, or home children still live in West Carleton today.
Courtney Symons photoMembers of the Fitzroy Township Historical Society joined Catherine Wilson to refurbish the Smith Pioneer Cemetery on Wilson’s family property on Carp Road. Wilson’s descendents were some of the fi rst pioneer settlers in the area.

Carp man named Windsor fi re chiefLAURA MUELLER
Deputy fi re chief Bruce Montone is the latest Ottawa fi refi ghter to sign on as the chief of a smaller municipality’s fi re service.
Montone, who helped build the Ottawa Fire Service after amalgamation when he became deputy chief in 2002, will start his new job as chief of Windsor’s fi re department on Sept. 6.
Montone follows two other city sector chiefs who also achieved the top position in other municipalities: Paul Hutt was recently hired as the chief for Kempt-ville, and this spring Terry Gervais got the top job in Napanee.
“We’re building the right people here, I guess,” Montone said with a laugh.
Montone was born in Westboro but spent many of his formative years in Kanata, where he also served as a fi re-fi ghter for several years. He currently lives in Carp.
Montone has also worked as a volun-teer fi refi ghter in the northern Ontario town of Elliott Lake and at the provin-cial fi re marshall’s offi ce.
“I’m very excited,” Montone said of his new role in Windsor. “It will cap off my career.”

NEVIL HUNT
South Nepean Park became the back-drop for a political rumble on Aug. 10, with the federal minister of Human Re-sources and Skills Development taken to task by supporters of a national child care program.
Minister Diane Finley arrived at the park to mark the fi fth anniversary of the federal government’s universal child care benefi t, which currently de-livers $100 per month to about 1.5 mil-lion families for each child under age six.
Child care advocates have called for a federal program to provide govern-ment-funded care for children across the country. They criticize the current system, saying the money is of little use to parents who can’t fi nd a daycare space for their children.
Finley spent time defending the gov-ernment’s decision to hand out month-ly cheques instead of creating a feder-ally-run system. She insisted the issue is choice for parents, and that national daycare would remove that choice. Fin-ley did not address the issue of the cost of a federal program when answering a question about ways to fi nance a na-tional system.
Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gor-don O’Connor, who was on hand to introduce Finley, provided a frank re-sponse to a question after the press con-ference. He said cost is a critical factor in the government’s decision.
“I hope I’m not contradicting what Minister Finley said, but we’ve calcu-lated the cost of a national program to be $16 billion a year,” he said. “That’s $16 billion every year.

SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
St. Paul’s Anglican Church is getting a facelift.
For many years the church’s congre-gation has been concerned about the building’s crumbling roof shingles, the cracking plasterwork inside the church, the ancient stained glass windows which could no longer suffi ciently stand up to the vagaries of the weather.
St. Paul’s, located at the corner of Dun-robin Road and Thomas A. Dolan Park-way, has already started repairs, thanks to an endowment from a faithful and lov-
ing member of the church congregation, who passed away in 2010.
This year, the roof has been re-shin-gled.
The plaster in the interior of the church has been repaired and repainted in a bright cheerful colour, and the piece de resistance, the side windows have been replaced with thermal glass with new stained glass inserts with memorial panels.
The church congregation hopes to com-plete the renovation by Aug. 21, in time for a special memorial service, which will start at 11 a.m.

‘We can’t afford’ national program: Tory MPADVOCATES, from 5
“We can’t afford that. Governments can’t meet every need, everywhere. It’s parents that decide to have chil-dren, not the government.”
In addition to the mixed message about why the Harper government has declined to create a federal child care program, Finley also had to deal with some vocal critics.
As Finley began to speak inside a small tent set up for the occasion, at least fi ve people arrived wearing T-shirts bearing the website name ivot-echildcare.ca – a grassroots move-ment to maintain child care spaces for children under the age of fi ve.
Decked out in one of the brilliant yellow shirts, Diane O’Neill – who says she has worked for more than 30 years in child care – managed to speak to Finley before she left the
tent.“I’m really surprised that you
would come here to Barrhaven,” O’Neill said, adding that many Bar-rhaven parents can’t fi nd daycare space for their children. “There are more and more people waiting for child care in this community.”
O’Neill added that “the only day-care spaces being created are for-profi t,” which she said affects the quality of care, and asked why the federal government won’t create a national system.
In response to O’Neill’s question, Finley said the federal government knows there is a shortage of child care space.
“That’s why we have given an addi-tional $250 million to the provinces; because we’re trying to help,” the minster said.
Asked why the federal government
doesn’t combine the money trans-ferred to the provinces with tax cred-its provided to businesses and use the funds to create a national child care program, Finley said a government program wouldn’t work for all fami-lies. She said rural families may have no local child care options, and that parents who work nights or week-ends may have no centre available to care for their children while they are on the job.
The event wrapped up with Finley cutting a cake, with pieces distrib-uted to a crowd of children gathered in the tent for her speech. Some of the people wearing ivotechildcare.ca T-shirts attempted to stand behind Finley to ensure their message was picked up by news cameras, while members of Finley’s staff took up positions next to the minister in an effort to block the cameras’ view.
COURTNEY SYMONS
Garlic crops were ready just in time for the 12th annual Garlic Fest held at the Carp Farmer’s Market on Aug. 13 and 14.
Vendors from West Carleton and beyond gathered to show off their varieties of fresh garlic. A taste-test booth in the middle of the market introduced visitors to the various strains, letting them know which vendors sold their favourite fl avour.
Randy Maguire of Harvest Moon Orchard on Carp Road grows two kinds of garlic. The fi rst, called Music, is an older, common strain with a mild fl avour. The second is the Rus-sian Red, which Maguire says is much more pungent and a chef favourite.
Harvest Moon Orchard’s pri-mary crop is their apples, of which they grow 65 varieties. Their apple season has just be-gun and will continue until De-cember.
Even with this year’s tumul-tuous weather, crops have still managed to thrive.
“We had a really good mixture of both heat and moisture this year, so it’s been a really good harvest,” he said.
Andy Perauds from Acorn Creek Farm in Carp agreed.
“It was an excellent crop,” he said. “The cold, wet weather in May didn’t end up affecting us in a negative way.”
His farm grows Music as well, plus the stronger California White, and the even stronger Spanish Roho.
One good thing about Music, added Keith Galley who works at Acorn Creek, is how big the cloves are.
“When a recipe calls for one clove of garlic, really it’s like
throwing in two, but you’re not even breaking the rules,” he said.
A great way to store garlic is to braid it and hang it in your kitchen. Braiding is a technique practiced by many vendors at Garlic Fest, by twining the stems together to create one long unit. Acorn Creek displayed one braid taller than any of the vendors.
Not only is the braiding of garlic beautiful, but practical too.
“It’s a great way to store your garlic,” Galley said. “I just snip off a bulb whenever I need it.”
Fieldstone Garden came from Killaloe to show off their fa-mous garlic, with a sign gracing the front of their booth reading, “Shallots are for babies, onions
are for adults, garlic is for he-roes.”
Jan Bearinger of Fieldstone Garden has won the red-ribbon prize at Garlic Fest for four of the past fi ve years, including this year. Her husband Oscar raved about her garlic, explain-ing that his favourite way to eat it is to bake it.
“It becomes like a pâté,” he said. “It’s like a liquid almost. You wouldn’t believe how much of that stuff you can eat.”
For picky eaters, those who are just coming around to gar-lic, or long time lovers of the stuff, baked garlic is the way to go, he said.
To ensure you have garlic to last all the way until next year’s crop, keep it in a dark, dry place.
Moisture and direct sunlight will cause the garlic to go bad.
But why a garlic festival amidst the harvest of so many other types of delicious pro-duce? Maguire of Harvest Moon Orchard said it’s part of a move-ment bringing people closer to their meals.
“People are starting to buy more local, more fresh products and doing more of their own cooking, and garlic is a part of that,” he said. “Plus, it’s a great way to get people together over the summer.”
Although Garlic Fest is over, the garlic season is not nearly so keep an eye out for fresh, local garlic over the next few weeks at the farmer’s market or your lo-cal supermarket.

Garlic Fest returns to Carp Farmer’s MarketBAKED GARLIC
1) Take a full head of gar-lic and slice off the hair-like sprouts along the bottom, and a bit off the top so that each clove has been nipped. Repeat for fi ve cloves.
2) Coat the bottom of a pot with olive oil and sit the cloves inside.
3) Drizzle 1-2 drops of olive oil onto each clove within each head.
4) Put three tablespoons of water into the pot and cover with tin foil.
5) Bake at 400 C for about 20 minutes; uncover and bake for another 10 minutes to brown the top..
Patrol offi cers in the West Carleton area responded to 57 general calls for service from the public for the reporting period of July 29 to Aug. 4. From these calls for service the following is a partial break-down of incidents by community:
• Carp Village: two break and enters, one theft.
• Fitzroy Harbour: three break and en-ters.
• West Carleton: one safety.• Woodlawn: one break and enter.In addition to the calls for service, pa-
trol offi cers are also proactively enforc-ing the highway traffi c laws, responding to false 911 and alarm calls, and assisting the Ottawa fi re, paramedics and bylaw services.
ATTENTION PINHEY POINT VISITORS
Please remove all valuables from your vehicle before leaving it unattended in some remote parking lot.
Whether it is Pinhey’s Point or some other attraction with secluded parking lots—thieves might be lying in wait for the right opportunity to break into your vehicle and steal your belongings.
Even if you hide your valuables out of sight in places such as the truck of your car thieves can easily gain access to it by simply popping the latch from the inside.
On Sunday, July 30, three locked ve-hicles that were left in a remote parking lot at Pinhey’s Point were broken into by unidentifi ed thieves. Several wallets and electronic items were taken.
One complainant reported storing her purse inside of the trunk of her car for safekeeping; however, she was alerted to the theft a short while later. Within an hour of learning about this particular in-cident and calling the credit card compa-nies to cancel the cards, the unidentifi ed thieves had managed to withdraw over $600 in cash at a Nepean grocery store.
EXPERIMENTING WITH ALCOHOL?
Emergency services were called to a home in West Carleton at around 1 a.m. on Sunday, July 30, after receiving a 911 call for intoxicated teenagers in distress.
The 911-caller told the operator that a 13 and 14 yr-old girls had been secretively drinking vodka throughout the night and were found unconscious and vomiting and breathing abnormally. The girls were taken to children’s hospital by ambulance for detoxifi cation and monitoring.
Apparently, the girls had been drinking vodka while their parents slept.
DEER COLLISION COUNTER
Week thirty-one and two more deer collisions were reported in the West Car-leton ward only.
The total score now stands at 77 to 49, in favor of Rideau-Goulbourn.
BREAK AND ENTER:
• July 31: 100 Clifford Campbell Street, Fitzroy Harbour: An unidentifi ed young male managed to elude police after he was spotted exiting the Fitzroy Harbour
Community Centre canteen at around 8 p.m. on Sunday and dashed off on a black BMX bicycle.
While patrolling around the Fitzroy Harbour area an offi cer spotted an open window at the community centre canteen and stopped to investigate. Uncertain as to culprit(s) whereabouts and exit points, the offi cer called in for backup while maintaining a watchful eye on the build-ing.
Within minutes of radioing dispatch a young white man appears from out be-hind of the canteen and a foot chase en-sues. Before the offi cer is able to catch up the male jumps onto a black BMX bicycle and speeds off.
After several near misses and close calls, the male manages to slip through the police dragnet and cycles out of sight.
The suspect is described as a white man, 16 to 17 years of age, fi ve foot eight inches tall, slender build with brown me-dium length hair. He was wearing a white olive tank top, black jeans, a black base-ball cap and a silver chain hanging from the pants pocket.
Anyone with information is asked to call the OPS Call Centre at 613-236-1222 ext.7300 and quote call #2011-224521.
• Aug. 1: Langstaff Road, Carp Village: Police received a report that the Huntley Curling Club had been broken into. Un-identifi ed persons gained access into the building through the ice plant.
No further information was available at the time of reporting.
• Aug. 2: 100 Clifford Campbell St., Fitzroy Harbour: A side door to a stor-age building at the Fitzroy Community Centre was kicked in by an unidentifi ed person and a set of keys were taken. It is believed this incident is related to the canteen break and enter that occurred on Sunday., July 31, at around 8 p.m.
• Aug. 3: Donald B. Munro Drive, Carp Village: A complainant from the Deka Home Building Centre called police to report a commercial break and enter in-cident that took place at around half-past-midnight on Wednesday, Aug. 3.
Two unidentifi ed culprits were seen on surveillance footage climbing through a fence and stealing a Dewalt table saw, mi-ter saw and insulation blower.
The complainant has expressed his concerns about an ongoing problem with people stealing construction equipment and supplies from the store.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 613-236-1222 ext. 7300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
• Aug. 3: Harbour Street, Fitzroy Har-bour: Three teens, two from Nepean and one from Constance Bay, were formally warned by police and turned over to their parents after they admitted to breaking into a residential shed for gasoline.
At around 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 2, a homeowner became acutely aware
of a break and enter after his dog start-ed barking and the noise of a shed door opening was overheard. When he yelled out into the darkness, three shadowy fi g-ures appeared from within the shed and quickly scattered. On investigation the homeowner found a can of gasoline sit-ting outside his shed.
Not long after receiving the homeown-er’s call police searched the area and lo-cated the three teens and their 2003 red Ford Windstar on Harbour Street. On speaking with the driver police detected an odour of alcohol on his breath and as a result of registering a warning on the roadside screening device he was issued a three-day driver’s license suspension.
• Aug. 4: 3730 Dunrobin Rd., Woodlawn: The Deka Home Building Centre in Wood-lawn was broken into sometime during the overnight hours on Wednesday, Aug. 3.
The unidentifi ed thieves entered into the warehouse through a sliding door and stole approx. $500 worth of tools.
Anyone with information is asked to call the OPS Call Centre at 613-236-1222 ext. 7300 or Crime Stop-pers at 1-800-222-8477.
SAFETY AND SECURITY:
Aug. 3: Hwy. 17 Bridge, West Carleton: At around 4 p.m. on Wednesday, police stopped and spoke to a group of kids about the safety risks in jumping off of bridges after they were spotted leaping into the Mississippi Riv-er from the Hwy. 17 bridge near Hunt Line Road.
THEFT:
July 29: Charlies Lane, Carp Village: A 60-year-old driver was issued a three-day driver’s licence suspension and investi-gated for theft of construction material after a private security guard spotted him frequenting a residential construction site on Charlies Lane and called police.
The security guard told police that residents in the area started noticing the suspicious vehicle in the area on several occasions with the driver removing con-struction material from the site.
Police caught up with the ve-hicle and the lone driver, a short while after receiving the call, on Falldown Lane and discovered that he had been drinking; a roadside test confi rmed it.
MAKE THE RIGHT CALL:
The West Carleton Police Cen-tre is located at 5670 Carp Rd. and can be reached at 613-236-1222 ext. 2982. The centre is a community problem-solving centre and is re-sponsible for the delivery of the Ottawa police crime prevention programs.

For the last 20 summers, ever since the train ceased to be an affordable option, we have driven the Trans-Canada
Highway across northern Ontario to Kenora and sometimes beyond.
It’s a trip not enough people take, as you can tell by the increasing number of closed restaurants, motels and gas stations along the way. Last year’s casu-alty was the Busy Bee, a homey restau-rant-gift shop at Nairn Centre, west of Sudbury. This year it’s the Rossport Inn, an adornment to the former fi shing vil-lage on Lake Superior since 1884.
Border hassles and our rising dollar have cut into tourism from the U.S. The economic decline of Northern Ontario, particularly in the pulp and paper towns, is refl ected along the highway. Yet it is a highway well worth taking – a very drivable road with many passing lanes and breathtaking views along the north shore of Superior. Fortunately – or not, depending on how you look at it – it is never crowded.
Always on the lookout for meaningful trends along the highway, I am some-what pleased to be able to report that the Ontario government has put shiny new outhouses at rest stops along the
highway. Oh, and people painting their names on rock faces is back.
For some reason, the more beauti-ful the setting, the more people feel a need to make their mark on it. After a while, the writing on the rocks took a back seat to the building of inukshuks. This was nice at fi rst, but got to be a bit annoying.
You remember how cute it was back in the 1980s when people began do-ing The Wave at football, baseball and hockey games. It seemed then like a nice bit of audience participation but the copycat syndrome took over and The Wave became a cliché. You couldn’t escape it. Amazingly, it persists to this day in some backwaters.
The inukshuk, a few rocks piled to-gether in a certain way, was a beautiful
idea in its original context, but has now become so widely imitated as to become meaningless. Inukshuks are everywhere along the northern Ontario Trans-Canada. Some of them live up to their meaning in Inuit, “in the likeness of a human.” Most of them do not. Most of them look like somebody started to pile up some rocks in a certain way, then get bored and went off to do something else.
In the old days, people used to paint their names on the rockfaces along the highway. “Joe loves Irma, July 6, 1978.” This wasn’t pretty and it’s just as well that it doesn’t happen everywhere. On the other hand, the tops of the rockfaces were left pretty much as God made them.
Now, it’s pretty well impossible to fi nd a rockface along the Trans Canada Highway that doesn’t have a pile of rocks on top of it. And the piles don’t look like anything except other piles, other clichés. “Joe loves Irma” may be a cliché too, but not to Joe and Irma and at least the painted message allows us to think fond thoughts about the moment they may have had before the paint can came out.
Now, bright new fl uorescences tell the 2011 story of Joe and Irma and others of
their ilk. Maybe that’s for the best. It’s probably a bit nannyish to worry about piles of rocks falling on somebody’s head (but what a uniquely Canadian story it would be!). The real problem is that there is no longer a rock surface along the Trans-Canada that somebody has not piled rocks on. And how many of them even know why?
Since the Ontario government can spend all that money on fancy new out-houses, maybe it can funnel some more funds on fi nding constructive ways for people to make their mark – a guest book? It’s probably too much to hope that people will some day decide to leave no mark at all.
EDITORIAL
The Conservative government has dragged its heels on a federal daycare program for years.
Instead, the government sends a monthly cheque for $100 to families for every child under age six. Last week, Human Re-sources and Skills Development Minister Diane Finley stuck to the party line during a press con-ference in Barrhaven, saying the $100 cheques are all about choice for parents, while a feder-ally-managed system would remove that choice.
But what choice does a parent have if there is no child care available to buy? That’s the case for thousands of parents on waiting lists in Ottawa. The numbers across the country are staggering.
If you don’t think you have a stake in afford-able and accessible child care, you are mistaken.
By stepping up with a federal child care sys-tem, the government would immediately free up a huge chunk of our potential workforce. Sud-denly parents working part-time would be able to work full-time. Other parents who stay home today would immediately have time to work some of the time outside the home.
One government minister at the Barrhaven event last week said cost – not parental choice – is the key issue. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor said the price tag for federal daycare would be $16 billion annually.
But that number – which sounds infl ated – would be in part offset by other savings. Add up all the $100 cheques, many of which go to families that don’t need the fi nancial help. Cut out the cheques each month and the government saves about $2.4 billion annually.
Remove the tax credit companies receive if they create child care spaces today. The govern-ment could also expect an expanded tax base as more people hit the labour market, freed from stay-at-home care.
A YWCA report issued in March reviews prior research that concludes that “over the long term, every public dollar invested in quality early learning and child care programs returns $2.54 in benefi ts to society,” mainly through improving cognitive abilities.
The federal government can take the easy way out and insist we can’t afford national child care. But really we can’t afford not to.
Federal child care needed now

There aren’t too many things that would make me want to give up sheep farming. I’ve only wanted to quit a couple of times so far. I wanted to throw in the towel during my fi rst winter lambing season, when every second lamb born, died. It was just too cold for them and they didn’t make it. I bottle-fed the ones that didn’t seem to be getting enough of their mothers’ milk but they just weren’t strong enough.
The only other time I remember think-ing, “That’s it! I quit!” was just the other night. I was doing the nightly check on things, making sure the new lambs were ok, the chickens had enough water and the turkeys were still in their pen. A gath-ering noise outside drew my attention to the far side of the barn. Sheep noise.
Instead of settling down for the night against the wall of the barn, the sheep were all standing in the spotlight, staring down the fi eld. I grabbed my fl ashlight, hopped over the gate and went to see what they were looking and hollering at.
I saw two sets of eyes, one considerably taller than the other. Donkey and Misty. At their feet, another set of eyes blinked at me from the grass. A lamb was down.
The horse and donkey were fl anking the lamb as if protecting her from some-thing. I swung my fl ashlight around at the darkness but saw nothing.
Upon inspection, the lamb appeared to have at least one bloody foot. I wondered if a coyote had bitten her in a failed abduction, or if the big horse had acci-dentally hobbled her. I couldn’t leave her there in the fi eld; we had had too many coyote kills lately and I knew he was probably watching from the wings, wait-ing for us to leave his snack unattended.
The lamb looked small enough, so I squatted down, put my arms around her and lifted her up. Ugh. She was heavier than she looked. I panted my way to the barn, dog and horse on my heels. My breathing was scaring the other sheep out of my way, as I parted the fl ock like the red sea on my way to the lambing pen. We had a gate wired across the open door in summer, so I had to gently plop the lamb down on the inside before running around through the other barn to meet
her. I kept thinking that a coyote was waiting for me to leave my lamb alone for a moment so he could scoop her up and spirit her away.
Once inside the lambing room, I had to lift the lamb again to lower her into the lambing pen. I noticed that she hadn’t moved a muscle since I fi rst discovered her. She was using her only line of defense (besides stomping feet). She was playing dead. I told her she was safe now, and the mother of the new twin lambs came over to inspect her.
That’s when I noticed that the blood was not coming from her foot at all. It was coming from her neck.
The Farmer had told me that when a coyote kills a lamb, it rips its throat out. Sometimes a sentry animal like Donkey will scare the coyote away, but it usually comes back later to collect its meal. I worried that the coyote would come to the barn to get my lamb at night. I have heard of farmers fi nding coyotes in their barns, but the ones on our property rarely make it all the way up to the barnyard. This one had been within 50 metres of the fence.
I parted the wool around the lambs’ neck and found some tiny insertion points, like vampire bites. The bleed-ing had stopped. The Farmer gave her a shot of penicillin, and we will watch her closely. When I left her for the night, she was cuddled in to sleep beside the ewe, after having eaten her fi ll of sweet hay.
We have had six coyote kills this year. Normally we leave the coyotes alone to hunt mice in the back fi elds, and they leave our sheep alone.
Donkey keeps them away from the herd. But this is getting ridiculous. We may have to call in some of the Farmer’s hunting buddies to get rid of this fearless predator.

Likely everyone is familiar with east-ern chipmunks.
These ground-dwelling squirrels are common, easy to see, and they more than tolerate our presence. Unlike their four relatives that live in our area (red, gray, and northern and southern fl ying squir-rels), chipmunks spend winters dormant in underground dens.
However, they do not sleep that entire season; every few days they awaken, go to their pantry and visit the lavatory, each room a separate chamber underground.
Right now chipmunks are preparing for winter.
They are carrying mouthfuls of leaves to their sleeping chambers and are build-ing up food stores.
This past weekend, choke herries along the Basin Road in Algonquin Park were laden with fruit but it was going fast. Ce-dar Waxwings gobbled down whole cher-ries and smashed limbs told of nocturnal cherry-eating trips made by black bears. And there were chipmunks, with each large tree harbouring at least three.
On two occasions I arrived at dawn and the chipmunks were already active.
They scampered up the trunks and ac-robatically and fearlessly dangled from thin branches as they plucked cherries from the long clusters. The chipmunks’ tail seemed to act as an anchor as they dangled from branches while secured of-ten by one foot only.
With a cherry in hand or mouth, a chipmunk often retreated to a more solid perch to process it. The pulp was bit-ten off and discarded and the naked pit shoved into the cheeks.
As it would be energetically expensive to return with only one item on each foraging trip chipmunks have greatly extensible cheek pouches for carrying large loads. It appeared a dozen or more pits could be held at a time.
When the cheeks were full they bulged out like those of Dizzy Gillespie blowing
his trumpet. With a full load in mouth, a chipmunk would run down the trunk and return to its den. After dumping off its cargo it would return, quickly scam-pering up the tree for another load.
Occasionally a chipmunk would eat the cherry’s fl esh instead of discarding it. The sugar-rich pulp is the enticement that attracts waxwings and other birds, which swallow cherries whole and later poop out the hard seeds that germinate if they land in a suitable environment.
These birds thus serve as seed dis-persers. Chipmunks, black bears, and evening grosbeaks, another bird fond of cherries, are seed predators because their efforts end in the seed’s demise. If for any reason chipmunks don’t eat all of their stored pits, some may germinate and produce new trees.
I noticed that when an alarmed chip-munk gave its odd “cluck” calls the oth-ers in its tree would freeze. I suspected that I was seeing family groups (a female plus her young) for they tolerated each other. But on occasion there would be a scuffl e and a frantic chase that I attrib-uted to an intruder trying to cash in on the bounty.
From dawn to dark the chipmunks slaved away, tirelessly climbing trees and loading up.
It seems that at least in August life for these charming rodents really is the pits!

The National Capital Show Jumping Tournament re-turned to the Nepean National Equestrian Park this August to celebrate its 25th year, the past four of which have been in Ottawa.
“Ottawa has a great popula-tion of horses,” event coordina-tor Ainsley Hayes said. “This is the big event that they get to go to that they don’t have to travel to,” as most major horse shows take place in Toronto or Quebec.
Hayes is the daughter of the husband-and-wife team who chairs the tournament; two-time Olympian Jay Hayes and his wife Shawn. The family-run show spent its fi rst 21 years in Collingwood, Ont. before com-ing to Ottawa.
Spanning two weeks, events took place from Aug. 10-14 and will resume Aug. 17-21, attract-ing horses from all over Ontar-io, Quebec, and even the United States.
The tournament is the high-
est rated show jumping event in the area, offering a kitty of $75,000 for a Grand Prix event courtesy of Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata. Many other awards of smaller denominations from various sponsors are up for grabs as well.
Competing horses jump high-er than the height of an average woman, Hayes said, producing anywhere between 0.9 to 1.6 me-tres of air.
“It’s real athleticism,” Hayes said. “It’s an individual sport, but we still call it a team sport because it takes a horse and a rider.”
A popular misconception is that the horse does all the work.
“That’s when we invite them to come sit on the horses,” she said. “It’s diffi cult.”
Men and women compete alongside one another, with no gender segregated events – an aspect setting it apart from most other sports.
Additionally, people of all ages have been known to com-pete.
“We have everything from little kids on ponies to past and present Olympians compet-ing in the Grand Prix events,” Hayes said.

TOURNAMENT, see 11
One of those Olympians is Perth’s Ian Millar, a member of Canada’s silver medal eques-trian team at the 2008 Olympic Games. He has won the Cana-dian Show Jumping Champion-ship a total of nine times, and will be there this year to defend the Grand Prix title he earned last year.
The horses and their riders began to assemble at the ring on Monday, Aug. 8, settling in for the two-week span of the tournament.
“We always laugh and say, ‘It’s the gypsy camp coming to town,” Hayes said. “You can see the trailers coming off the highway, and it looks like the circus is arriving.”
Located right off the Moodie Drive exit on the 417 highway, the Grand Prix ring is easy to spot.
“If you’re sitting in traffi c on your way home from work, pull off at Moodie and come see the horses until the traffi c clears up,” Hayes said. “I hate sitting in traffi c.”
Various events will take place during the tournament, includ-ing traditional jumping events and hunter derbies.
Hayes equates hunter der-bies to being like fi gure skating in that riders and horses have to perform certain elements. Horses are judged based on style, instead of a timed period where heights are measured for jumping events. Hunter derby competitors have to complete steps such as galloping up a bank and jumping onto and off of a stone wall. The name of the sport comes from the skills that traditional hunting horses needed to have.
All hunting derby events will be held in the same Grand Prix ring as the rest of the events, which is uncommon. Normally, their ring is much smaller, so this tournament offers hunt-ers a larger than life chance to ride.
“It’s like a kid playing tennis at the local club and then being able to walk into the Roger’s Cup,” Hayes said.
For those who are just start-ing their jumping careers, the ATCO Derby on Saturday, Aug. 20, doesn’t require a minimum jumping requirement, as is the case with other events where horses must reach a height of 1.35 metres to participate.
Gates open at 9 a.m. each morning, and don’t close until between 4-6 p.m., depending on when the day’s events wrap up. Wednesdays and Thursdays are free for all spectators; Fri-days and Saturdays cost $5 per person, and Sunday is $10. Kids ages four and under can get in for free on any day.
Visitors will get to view the events, tour a vendor area where various goodies are sold, and meet the horses and their riders.
“We like to have spectators be able to see what goes on back stage, like being let into the locker room,” Hayes said. “You can see everybody getting ready and warmed up.”
At the end of most days, the tournament participants and groupies will probably all be found in the same bar, Hayes said.
“As large as the horse com-munity is, it still feels small,” she said. “Everybody knows everybody. It’s nice to have ca-maraderie even in the face of competition.”
West Carleton’s Pinto Val-ley Ranch won’t be competing in the event, as they do West-ern style riding instead of the event’s English style.
Gail Smith owned the ranch for 40 years with her husband Ernie before selling to her daughter and her husband, Tracey and Ben Jardine. Smith said they would go to see the horses if they weren’t so busy with their summer camps.
On Aug. 6, Pinto Valley Ranch packed up their ponies to head to Navigation Canada’s annual summer picnic in Ottawa, an-other event keeping them busy during the summer months.
Updates on show jumping events and winners from the tournament will be posted to the event’s website, at www.hayesco.ca.

Lifejacket? Check.Experienced guide? Check.Dorky lanyard to prevent my glasses
from fl ying off ? Check.Oh, and pouring rain? Check.All elements were in place for my maid-
en voyage on a sailboat – well, except for the skill set required to do so. But that, hopefully, I could learn.
The Kanata Sailing Club kindly in-vited me to test my sea legs and learn to sail on one of their boats. Reporter Jes-sica Cunha had visited last year, and she assured me that I would be just fi ne. She brought along her camera to capture the experience – which she had to wrap in a plastic bag so as not to soak it during the storm.
I met my experienced sailing guide, An-drew (“Call me Andy”) Wahl upon arrival at the Kanata Sailing Club on Sixth Line Road along the Ottawa River.
If there’s anything that can put a new-bie sailor at ease, it is the knowledge that they will be sailing with an experienced pro. I was lucky to have this in Andy who has been sailing since 1968.
“With experience, the sailboat becomes an extension of the sailboat,” he said. “It’s like riding a bicycle – with a lot more vari-ables.”
Well, I can ride a bike, so there’s a start.
Recounting her experience from last year, Jess told me that she had evaded her biggest fear.
“I really thought I was going to get smacked with the boom a couple of times, but thankfully it never happened,” she said.
Andy explained that the new hollow aluminum booms don’t hurt as much as the old wooden ones.
“The old ones could really knock your block off,” he said. “I’ve seen stars a few times.”
As we waited to see if lightning would strike and prevent us from getting out on the water, I learned about the certifi cation process required to become a full-fl edged sailor.
The Canadian Yachting Association (CYA) requires you to earn your White Sail III certifi cate before sailing solo. White Sail I allows you to steer the boat, White Sail II lets you sail with supervision, and the fi nal White Sail III enables you to head out on the water with only your skills, the boat, the wind, and the water.
One bonus about becoming a member of the Kanata Sailing Club is that they provide sailboats to rent out.
“You can learn to sail in the spring, then sail all summer without ever having to buy a boat,” Andy said.
I found out I would be sailing on an Al-bacore, a 16-foot boat with two sails and two crew members.
Andy owned an Albacore for about 10 years, and it’s his favourite kind of sail-boat.
“It’s fast, it’s high performance, it’s sen-
sitive,” he said. “A lot of people think it’s a family boat, but then they get in it and go, ‘Ahh!’”
Very encouraging, Andy.As luck (or misfortune) would have it,
Tuesday evenings are race nights at the Kanata Sailing Club. From late May until the end of August, club members can sign out a boat and participate in a race out on the river from 6:30-8:30 p.m. where they get in as many short races as they can.
Then, it’s snack time, with sailors re-treating to the clubhouse for some burg-ers and beverages.
I wasn’t sure how I felt about my fi rst sailing experience being a part of a race, but lightning still hadn’t struck, so it was time to head out onto the water regard-less.
Andy loaded me up with the rudder (a fi n that attaches to the back of the boat for steering) as he grabbed the sails that had been hung up to dry in the clubhouse – an effort made in vain, as they became soak-ing wet again once we headed outside.
I “helped” as best I could, feeding the sail along a line and standing on the front of the boat to tighten a rope. I remarked that it seemed impossible to make sense of the nest of ropes coming from every direction inside the boat, but Andy just smiled and assured me that, “You get used to it.”
Wearing a lifejacket and windbreaker that some kind soul had lent to this silly city girl who hadn’t thought to bring warm enough clothing, I helped Andy lead the Albacore into the water, and felt my heart race as he casually told me to “hop right in.”
It wasn’t the most graceful hop, and I rocked the boat a fair bit, but hop I did.
Andy wore his trademark rainboots, the insides of which (he claims) have never been wet. All his years of sailing, and he’s never capsized, let alone gotten a stray splash inside his boots. I wasn’t sure I believed him at fi rst, but after see-ing how he handled every turn and wave, I became less likely to call him a liar.
My job was to be “crew,” to sit in the front of the boat and tack when need be, which means switching the direction of the sails by grabbing ropes spastically, throwing other ropes willy-nilly, and heav-ing your body across the sailboat as fast as you can.
None of this I did particularly quickly (let alone gracefully), but I slowly learned to listen for Andy’s instructions and follow them to the best of my ability. I’ll admit it took me until half-way through our jour-ney before I realized what “tack” meant. I was too busy hoisting ropes and myself around to put a name to my actions.
As we got used to the water – which, de-spite the grey skies and strong rain, was strangely calm – the racecourse was set up, consisting of a series of large, neon orange buoys in a spread-out square that we had to navigate around.
We were joined out on the water by a father-and-daughter team in a boat with a neon green sail, and one man soloing a smaller sailboat. No one else was willing to brave the torrid elements that day. (To be honest, the rain slowed down to a trick-le and it was still quite warm, so really, I’m milking it here.) Jess followed along in a motorboat to document my progress.

SAILING, from 15
When the fi rst race began, I’ll admit I wasn’t looking ahead to the orange buoys; in fact, I barely looked out at the water at all. My hands were busily anticipating when they would next be told to leap into action, and my eyes stayed glued to the spot where I would soon be fl inging my body – hopefully without sitting on any-thing sharp and metallic.
Seemingly out of nowhere, Andy shout-ed out victoriously – and it was only then I realized we had won!
My fi rst sailboat adventure, and I had won a race! Or rather, Andy had managed to win while lugging around some dead-weight, but still.
The rain had let up a bit, and my adren-aline was pumping – I was ready to race again. We did a lap or two while the other slowpokes fi nished up (really, no ego at all here), and then the horn blew to signify the start of race number two.
I’d been expecting a whole lot of heel-ing, which is when the boat fl ops over on a sharp angle and you have to throw your weight to the other side to even it out. Jess told me she’d had to stretch her whole torso out alongside the boat parallel to the water; an image which had haunted my dreams the evening before.
But with the soft wind, there wasn’t much heeling, and Andy mercifully re-acted right away to the slight tippings that we did see.
While I can’t say with much confi dence that I improved any during round two, I did at least take the time to look out and enjoy the view around me. We are so lucky to live next to a body of water as beautiful as the Ottawa River.
Andy and I rounded our last buoy with the other two teams hot on our
heels, but we pulled through with next to no wind and had a slow mo-tion cross over the fi nish line. This time I even got in on the raucous celebra-tions, and Andy admitted that his hooting and hollering was his competitive side coming through. Apparently mine was too, and I didn’t even know I had one!
After two victorious races, I decided it was best to retire on top, and we turned the boat back towards the shore. I thanked Andy for making my fi rst sailing experi-ence so enjoyable, and he said it had been a good time. He even told me that my form was “spot on,” a lovely lie that he told quite convincingly.
When the hull hit the sand, I hopped out a little more steadily than I had gotten in, and helped to drag the boat ashore. The sun was beginning to set and so was my energy level.
After setting up and taking down the sailboat, all the while barraging poor Andy with a million questions, he fi nally said, “So now you know everything I know.”
Well, not quite. Not nearly, even. But now I know the feeling of the wind in your hair as you try to determine which way it’s coming from, and the feeling of exhila-ration as your sail catches a current. As Andy put it, you’re “communicating with the wind and the water.”
And Andy was right – the aluminum booms don’t hurt too badly when they whack you in the head, not even when it happens twice in a row.
It might be awhile before I get to go sail-ing again, but the Kanata Sailing Club made me hope that the day will come soon-er than later. Perhaps I’ll attend their open regatta on Sept. 3-4 – you can, too.

Courtney Symons photoMick Armitage keeps a fl yer from every event he’s ever performed in, and puts them up in his garage in Nepean.
COURTNEY SYMONS
The Mick Armitage Band is a band on the run.
They have to be to keep up with the number of tour dates booked into their already-packed calendar this year, which includes stops at the Stittsville’s Village Square Park on Aug. 11 and the Carp Fair on Sept. 25.
Mick Armitage, the namesake and promoter of the band, keeps organized fi le folders for each and every upcoming event, whatever it may be.
“We’ll play at a wedding, we’ll play at a honky-tonk, we’ll play at the Carp Fair or we’ll play at a 40th anniversary,” Ar-mitage said. “That’s what you’ve got to do to survive in this business. You’ve got to play Hank Williams and the Roll-ing Stones and Garth Brooks and Cheap Trick.”
Armitage fi rst formed a band in 1983, called Raccoons on Ice, who were very successful in the Ottawa Valley. After their “divorce,” in 1997, as Armitage put it, the Mick Armitage Band came to be. Their logo, an old-fashioned raccoon hat, pays homage to the band-gone-by.
In addition to Armitage on the drums, the band includes Al Tambay from Ne-pean on guitar, Grant Tomkinson from Westmeath on bass, Bruce Baker from Stittsville on saxophone, and Reverend Al Bragg from Kanata on piano and pedal steel guitar. All of the members sing ei-ther lead or back-up vocals to their clas-sic rock covers.
Now residing in Nepean, Armitage used to live in Dunrobin on a farm that his father still owns today.
The band has played many a West Car-leton gig, including around four perfor-mances at the Carp Fair, and around four before that as Raccoons on Ice.
Their next gig is at 7 p.m. on Thurs-day, Aug. 11 at Stittsville’s Village Square Park for a concert series put on by the City of Ottawa and sponsored by Waste Management. It’s a gig they’ve played twice before, which seems to be a trend for the Mick Armitage Band – they keep getting asked back for more.
Armitage, who lived in Shawville, Que. in his youth, has played at their fair for the past 12 years in a row.
“I send them a Christmas card every year, to thank them for their business,” he said.
Their upbeat vibe attracts crowds of all ages, and if you’re lucky, they might even invite you up onstage with them.
Audience members can “expect to dance, to have a good time,” Armitage said. “They’re going to be laughing.”
As for his favourite song to perform, it’s tough to choose.
“I like playing anything by the Stones,” he said. Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seger, We’re Here For a Good Time by Trooper, and Summer of 69 by Bryan Ad-ams are guaranteed crowd pleasers.
“You come out and play the guitar and start with the fi rst line – ‘I got my fi rst real six-string…’ then we don’t say any-thing else,” Armitage said. “They sing the rest.”
It’s all about picking the right song for the right moment, he said, which is a challenge considering the band has over 500 songs in their repertoire. To learn new songs, they practice separately and hope that when they perform it together on stage the fi rst time that it sounds al-right.
“We always say, whenever a band prac-tices too much, they always break up,” Armitage explained. All band members have other jobs and busy family lives, so their non-stop concert gigs take the place of band practice.
The Mick Armitage band will open for April Wine at the Richmond Fair on Sept. 16, where they will be proud to share the stage with someone older than them, Ar-mitage joked.
Talks of recording a new album are on-going, and Armitage’s wife suggested the title, Rockers With Walkers which Armit-age rejected, saying, “Not yet.”
Previously, they produced a live record-ing of their show in Dunrobin on Canada Day of 2004.
A new album would take six to eight months to record in pianist Bragg’s home studio in Kanata, and Armitage hopes to see the album’s completion by spring of next year.
But his plans don’t stop there.A concert in Barbados could take place
in January of 2013, an event that would hopefully be similar to the band’s trip to Dublin, Ireland in 2006.
“It was the best trip of my life,” Ar-mitage said of the adventure where they brought more than 50 of their family, friends and fans with them.
“We had our own bus,” he said, “We pulled into this small town, and they had a big banner saying, ‘The Canadians are coming.’ It was so emotional, I’ll tell ya.”
Armitage proposed to his wife on that trip, having a friend smuggle a ring into the bar for him, and getting down on one knee in front of everyone.
The band’s adventures show no sign of slowing down, but they do have help – Eric and Joseph Semph, twin brothers who used to be Armitage’s neighbours, have been helping out with the heavy lift-ing since they were 14. They’re now 21.
“Everybody knows them as much as they know us,” Armitage said of his twin roadies. “They’re part of the crew. I told them, ‘I don’t care if you marry and have kids, you’re still working for me on the weekends,’” he joked.
The band will continue to offer “free hugs after every show,” as advertised on their website, as they have no plans on slowing down.
“A friend of mine said that the people will let you know when it’s time to slow down,” Armitage said, which won’t be any time soon given their already-planned concert dates over the next cou-ple of years.
“Even if you quit, you never really quit, as long as you still play. And I don’t have any plans of quitting.”
The Mick Armitage Band will perform at the Carp Fair on Sept. 25.

THE WAR AMPS
A group of young amputees from the city’s west end helped The War Amps celebrate 30 years of child amputee (CHAMP) sem-inars in Ottawa.
The children, including Coo-per Bradley, 5, from Kanata, took part in a show and tell session,
showing their standard and rec-reational artifi cial limbs to the group.
Meagan Williams, a 13-year-old Richmond girl, showed her hockey device and guitar pick de-vice. Cooper received a CHAMP Ambassador Certifi cate for con-ducting a War Amps Playsafe presentation to his classmates.
The seminar covered subjects of interest for all age groups, in-cluding the latest developments in artifi cial limbs, parenting an amputee child, dealing with teasing and bullying, learning to drive and the importance for amputees of staying active.
Seminars are life-changing events, particularly for fi rst-
time attendees.“Meeting others with exactly
the same concerns, and seeing how they have overcome them, has a profound effect on how they regard their amputation,” says CHAMP director Lucie Waddell.
CHAMP and all its programs are funded solely through public
support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Service. For more information, call 1 800 250-3030 or visit waramps.ca.

OTTAWA WEST BALL HOCKEY LEAGUE
The Ottawa West ball hockey team won the Ontario Bantam Championship in Mississauga, Ont. on July 10.
The team played six games over the weekend, losing only
one in the roundrobin but they were able to move into the play-offs with a wildcard berth. They won the fi rst playoff game on Saturday rather convincingly with an 8-1 score.
The semifi nal and fi nal games on Sunday turned out to be two very exciting, high tension, close
scoring games.The semi-fi nal Sunday morn-
ing saw Ottawa coming back from a two-goal, 4-2, defi cit with the winning 5-4 goal scored with just 40 seconds left in regulation time.
The championship game played Sunday at noon had ambi-
ent temperatures hitting 30-plus C with the arena’s humidex rat-ing was well above that.
The game progressed well into the fi nal period as a tight 1-1 chess match, with neither team giving up many scoring chances. Otta-wa scored the go-ahead goal on a quick release snap-shot from the
high slot, leading to the longest two minutes in the team’s life.
Fortunately Ottawa was able to hold on against the tournament’s top seeded team – the Withrow Park Knights form Toronto, to win the tournament and gain a berth in next year’s national championships.

(MS) The world has quickly become digital, and the younger genera-tions are leading the pack with technology that just may make some other items obsolete. As pre-teens and teenagers routinely turn to digital devices for entertainment and schoolwork, the face of education may change as well.
In the past students toted notebooks (the paper kind), pencils, pens, and folders to school. Today, students carry digital devices like computer tablets, notebooks (the electronic kind), smart phones, and other digital devices to the classroom. Furthermore, texting and instant messaging have replaced traditional modes of casual conversation.
Another item that may go the way of the dinosaur is the printed book. Students can now carry an entire library worth of reading material on a slim e-reader device or on the many other evolving tablet-type ma-chines. There may be a day when one no longer browses the aisles of the school library for a book, but only downloads the text instantly when needed. Some textbooks are already offered in digital format, and some school systems and teachers may opt for the convenience of digital devices.
Little data exists as to just how many schools have policies allowing the use of cell phones and other digital devices in class. In the United States, a 2009 U.S. Department of Education survey indicates only 4 per-cent of public-school teachers say a handheld device is available in the classroom every day. But things can change in a short period of time.
Digital AdvantagesThere are many advantages to going digital. Typing tends to go faster for adept keyboard users, which many youngsters have become since
they’ve essentially grown up with computers in the household. This makes note-taking easier. When notes and assignments are saved to a
computer, there’s less likelihood of them getting lost, especially if im-portant fi les are routinely backed up. Data saved on a computer can easily be manipulated into a number of different formats, potentially making it easier to study. Bodies of text can be transformed into charts
or pie graphs with many word processing programs. Students can cut and paste important quotes or examples into essays and the like, saving time on homework.
In terms of streamlining backpacks, digital readers and other devices eliminate heavy books and notebooks. This can be seen as a big plus to students who have grown accustomed to carrying around 20+ pounds on their backs from a very young age.
As many teachers turn to online resources, such as e-mailing and post-ing assignments on a personal Web site, students almost have to keep up with the times with some sort of tool that has Internet access.
Digital DisadvantagesOn the other side of the equation, going digital does have some dis-advantages. The decline of penmanship is one of them. In a digital era, people are less likely to write letters by hand or keep up with penman-ship in other ways. Some children don’t know what cursive handwriting is and may never learn how to sign their names in “script,” which was a common lesson for other generations.
While digital communication does promote social interactions on some levels, there are some who argue that spending too much time star-ing at a screen and keyboard compromises the social aspect of going to school and learning in a classroom. Today’s youth are less likely to “talk,” choosing to “LOL” and “TTYL” through texting.
Having a wealth of information available on the Internet opens up stu-dents to many disreputable sources of content. Some common online

(MS) A student’s success in school is measured by the assignments completed and tests he takes. The students who garner the best grades and do well in class are often those who are effective listeners and note-takers.
Professor Dennis Jertz of Seton Hall University has said that taking lec-ture notes effectively is one of the skills students must learn to make the transition from high school to college careers. Note-taking is also necessary in the business world, making it a worthwhile skill to learn.
Despite its importance in higher learning, not much study has gone into the correlation between note-taking and performance improvement. As a result, statistics supporting the importance of effective note-taking do not exist. But it stands to reason that the student who takes good notes, and studies well from them, has a sporting chance to improve his or her grades over others with poor notes.
Learning Note-takingIt may not seem as such, but note-taking can almost be a lesson all its own. If only students could enroll in Note-Taking 101. Some elementary and high-school teachers attempt to teach strategies for taking notes, in-cluding developing outlines, but many students still struggle to maintain the essentials as they move through school. It can be confusing knowing just how much to write down without creating a novel or having notes so scant that they provide little information when it comes time to study.
There are many systems of note-taking that a student can learn. These include using graphic representations to map out interconnected con-
cepts. Outlines or charts can group terminology together with related ideas. There are other techniques that use cue words to trigger recollec-tion of facts and dates. Mnemonic devices help recall information. Stu-dents can experiment with different methods until they fi nd a system that works well and offers measurable success.
Improving Listening Skills
No matter what method of note-taking is used, adequate listening skills are necessary to take ef-fective notes. This helps students transfer what the professor is say-ing into ideas that can be put down on paper. Staring off into space or having your mind drift can cause a student to miss out on key parts of a lecture. To improve note-taking skills, a student must fi rst improve listening skills.
• Sit up closer to the teacher or professor. This enables eye-to-eye contact that may help a student focus. It may also trigger visual clues to a professor to gauge whether the class is catching on or missing what’s being taught.
It’s also advantageous from a practical standpoint. It enables students to better hear what’s going on. If the professor is garbled or inaudible when sitting far away, moving closer is essential, especially in a large lecture hall.
• Remove distractions. When a student enters the classroom, he or she should be ready to learn. That means silencing mobile devices and gear-ing the mind toward the lessons. Not every lecture will be exhilarating, so students should make a conscious effort to pay attention. Limiting distractions can help.
• Use an assistance device. Students who are prone to “zoning out” may want to ask permission to use a voice recorder. This way if key ele-ments of the lesson are missed, they can be played back. This method also helps students fi ll in gaps when taking or studying notes.
Keys To Note-taking
Once listening skills have improved, students can go onto to other note-taking pointers.
• Sequencing material is important, so notes should be dated and num-bered. If references are made to chapters that correlate to the textbook, jot those down so they can strengthen the notes.
• Charles Kettering, an American engineer and inventor, said, “There is a great difference between knowing a thing and understanding it.” When jotting down notes, a student who discovers that something seems unclear can ask for clarifi cation or make a point to research that component further.
• Students should consider writing notes on one side of the page so that they can each be laid out side-by-side. Looseleaf paper works well, or notes can be typed and printed out.
• Students should develop their own method of abbreviations and sym-bols to cut down on the amount of writing needed. Notes needn’t be in full sentences; phrases are equally effective.
• If a professor writes something on a chalkboard, puts text up on a pro-jector or repeats something several times, it should defi nitely be written down. There is a good chance that information will be on the test.
• Students may want to review note-taking strategies with one another. Maybe there is a successful method employed by one student that he or she can share with classmates.
• Rewriting or typing notes helps ingrain the information in the brain more than simply rereading it.
Note-taking is an important skill many students should make the effort to learn. Improved test scores can lead to a higher grade point average. This, in turn, can help with success in school and beyond.

in the classroom, he or she might be downloading music, updating social networking sites, streaming video, or checking celebrity gossip.
Classrooms are evolving and so are students. Learn-ing is very different from the way older generations may have learned. Whether the presence of digital technology helps or hinders remains open for de-bate.

(NC)—Picnics, pool parties, barbecues—all things that make for a great summer defi nitely throw a wrench in our routines and balanced diets. Getting into a back-to-school routine can be diffi cult for the entire family, but there are ways to make the transi-tion as easy as possible.
“Children depend on their parents to establish schedules and provide nutritional guidance,” says registered dietitian Cara Rosenbloom. “Getting your children into a great routine and teaching them how to make healthy food choices before school starts will help them develop habits that they can maintain all year long.”
Here are some helpful tips to get your kids back on track just in time for back to school.
Eat breakfast as a family—Waking up as a family will help get your kids back on a proper sleeping and eating schedule. If you start getting them in the habit of waking up early, it will be easier to get them to school on time. Plus, breakfast doesn’t need much preparation either! For a quick and healthy meal, try whole grain breakfast cereal with Dairy Oh! milk and fresh berries.
Read it before you eat it—Teach your kids how to read food labels. Once your children know which
nutrients to look for and what ingredients to avoid, they will have the power to make healthier choices at school and with friends. A great way to educate your kids is to take them grocery shopping and have them make some selections. Teach them to choose items with less sodium and more vitamins, and show them how to fi nd products that are enriched with DHA, an omega-3 fat that’s important for brain development. You can use a carton of Dairy Oh! milk as a good ex-ample to help with label reading and choosing foods with DHA.
Plan your menu together—This is a great way to get your children excited about meal time. Now that they better understand how to read food labels, you can create family recipes and enjoy wholesome foods together. Take time to discuss and plan weekly meals with your kids to avoid unhealthy last minute food choices and provide something they will enjoy.
Chef in training—Children love to be involved in food preparation. Next time you are in the kitchen, bake a snack they’ll love such as whole wheat muf-fi ns or banana bread. Once your kids know how to navigate the kitchen and what foods to choose, they can easily pack their own lunches—something you and your kids can both be excited about!

(MS) Today’s kids are busier than ever before. Be it the increasingly competitive nature of scholastic life or the increase of two-income households where kids need something to do other than come directly home after school, children today are much busier than their school-aged counterparts of yesteryear.
While it can be fun and benefi cial for kids to participate in extracurricu-lar activities, fi nding the right fi t isn’t as easy as it sounds. When helping kids fi nd an extracurricular activity, it’s best to consider a host of factors. Especially keep in mind that not all kids are the same with respect to interests. And what was enjoyed by their parents won’t necessarily be enjoyed by them.
Getting StartedThe best place to start is to speak to kids about their interests. Just because Dad loved playing football doesn’t mean Junior is destined to be a gridiron great. Kids have their own interests, and those interests can be cultivated with the right extracurricular activity. For example, a creative child might enjoy an after-school art class a couple of times per week. Parents should also consider extracurriculars that can help kids grow as people. For instance, a child who’s shy in public but loves ham-ming it up at home might embrace an after-school theater program.
Once options have been discussed with kids, take in a session or two before committing to anything. The shy youngster might visit the local theater program and enjoy it thoroughly, or he or she might decide against it. Either way, a visit will give kids and parents a sense of what the program is like and whether or not it’s the right fi t. When visiting,
observe the nature of the program. Is it an encouraging, vibrant en-vironment? Do the adults and kids involved appear to be having fun?
Get the 411Parents want their kids to be as safe after school as they are during it. When looking for an extracurricular activity, inquire about the staff-to-child ratio and about the staff’s professional background. Any staff-to-child ratio that is greater than 12:1 likely indicates a program that is
understaffed, which could mean kids won’t get the attention they need. Also, ask for the staff’s references and work history in the fi eld of child care. If certifi cation is necessary or recommended, make sure the staff meets all requirements.
Parents should also inquire about program costs. Though many pro-grams are upfront about fees, some have hidden fees that can add up. Such fees can be for uniforms, equipment, class trips, etc. Extra fees don’t have to exclude a program from consideration, but it’s better to know about them in advance than have them come as a surprise.
Consider a Child’s Grade LevelA child’s age and grade level should also be considered when choosing an extracurricular activity. Consult teachers about fi nding an age-ap-propriate extracurricular activity. For example, less competitive activ-ities that emphasize fun might be more appropriate for kids in kinder-garten and the fi rst grade. For second graders, activities not offered at school, like learning to play an instrument, can help cultivate a child’s interest in a noncompetitive environment. As kids reach third grade and beyond, consider more rules-based activities, including team sports, as kids at that age are more capable of understanding rules and handling losing than younger kids. As children get older and move on to middle school, look for activities that reinforce learning and help develop a young person’s character, including their ability to interact with others.
When looking for an extracurricular activity for kids, parents should consider a host of factors, including the child’s interests and age.
How to help kids fi nd the right extracurricular activity
BS117017
Team sports, including baseball, can be a great extracurricular activity once kids are old enough to understand rules
and cope with losing.

For Erin Ruddy, fun yet functional is the biggest trend in toys this year as children head back to school.The editor-in-chief of What’s Up - Canada’s family magazine – offers some toy tips in the latest issue that range from a classic backpack with a modern twist to children’s laptops.“They’re hands-on, fun and different,” said Ruddy. “We’re going with that theme of trying to lure and excite kids with things that are colourful and bright, and disguise that they’re learning.”One of the toys Ruddy highlights is the new Lego Duplo play with letters, where children ages two to fi ve can familiarize themselves with num-bers and letters while playing with big colourful bricks.“There are other ways to get your kids familiar with letters instead of writing them over and over again,” she said.Children can also start learning their computer and technological skills through the Brilliant Cre-ations Laptop, new from Vtech.Ruddy said the laptop is meant for children from
kindergarten to Grade 1, and features a QWERTY keyboard, functioning mouse and is even bilin-gual.“It’s not overwhelming and links to games in-stead of the Internet,” said Ruddy. “For $35, you can introduce your child to this technology and know that it will be fun and interactive.”Raskullz Backpacks are also the newest trend to replace the traditional backpack. Ruddy said the backpacks feature a variety of 3D characters in-cluding a shark, cat, rabbit, unicorn, horse, dino-saur or gorilla – and even come with matching lunchboxes and luggage.Ruddy added backpack accessories are also big this year – in addition to Kachooz Pencil Toppers featuring fuzzy friends called “Moops.”For older kids, Ruddy said Vex Robotics will keep science-minded children busy.“It’s a starter kit to make a robot from scratch,” said Ruddy. “Educators can get these, and it’s a good way to inject life into science or math. You can create any kind of robot that you like.”Writing and craft tools like Crayola Dry Erase
Learning and Elmer’s Extreme Glue Stick are also popular during back to school time this year.Ruddy said the glue is appropriate for older kids who are working on projects using paper, wood, cardboard – even plastics and metals. “The glue stick is very tough and durable,” Ruddy said. “And glue stick is on everyone’s back to school list.”For more information on what’s hot this year for back to school, visit the What’s Up magazine’s website at http://www.whatsup-families.com/ and click on “What’s New.”
Top back-to-school items are fun and functional Erin Ruddy, editor-in-chief of
What’s Up magazine, highlights the most popular trends in
children’s learning toys as part of back to school time.
(MS) Over the last 10 to 15 years, the Internet has become established as a must-have in homes. But as useful and convenient as the Internet can be, it can also prove dangerous, particularly for young kids. Parents have every right to worry when their kids go online. However, there are ways to safeguard kids from some of the Internet’s ills.• Emphasize the protection of personal information. Many Web sites ask visitors to fi ll out certain forms when visiting. When discussing the Internet with kids, tell them to inform an adult whenever they visit a Web site that requests they fi ll out a form or ques-tionnaire before continuing to the site. Caution kids against sharing too much information, which could potentially make them susceptible to online predators.
• Preach caution in chat rooms. First and foremost, tell them to never share their address, full name or phone number with anyone in the chat room. Also, ensure kids never arrange to meet up with anyone from chat rooms. If kids do make a few online friends they want to meet in person, always be sure to ac-company them to any such meetings and insist on meeting their new friends’ parents as well. When meetings do take place, they should always be in a public place, such as a library. • Keep the computer in the family room, where Mom and Dad can monitor kids’ online usage without peering over their shoulders. If kids have their own computers, then parents might never truly know what their kids are doing online.

Coun. Stephen Blais is hoping for a truly smoke-free Ottawa.
The Cumberland Ward coun-cillor will be asking the city to ban smoking in public parks and beaches, as well as on patios be-fore 8 p.m.
“The health of Ottawans and the health of our children has to be our number-one priority,” Blais said.
The idea came to him after a meal with friends on a patio inter-rupted by a nearby smoker this spring. Blais, who has asthma, was also frustrated by smoke lin-gering in a park where he was playing with his toddler.
Second-hand smoke is known to be more harmful than actually smoking, Blais said, as it releases higher amounts of toxins and nicotine into the air. Young people ages 12 to 19 are most at risk, with an average exposure rate that is twice the national average (18.1 per cent), Blais said. Children also breath faster, so their lungs take in more toxins, he added, and the effects of developing lungs can be more severe.
Blais is asking both Ottawa Pub-lic Health and bylaw services to report back to council on how fea-sible the idea is and if there would be any costs associated with it. That information will be available in time for council to include it in the 2012 budget debates before the new year, with a view to putting the ban in place by next summer, if council votes in favour of it.
Ottawa wouldn’t be the fi rst city to take that step.
The province of Alberta banned smoking on patios in 2008, and beaches and parks in Hamilton and Niagara are smoke-free, Blais said.
He doesn’t anticipate that the ban would be too onerous to en-force, because enforcement of-fi cers already visit parks and beaches to keep tabs on a number of regulations. A ban on restau-rant patios would be even easier to implement, Blais said, because it would simply be an extension of the existing restaurant smoking ban the city put in place in 2001 to ban smoking in bars, restaurants and gaming rooms.
The idea to allow smoking on patios after 8 p.m. is up for debate, Blais said.
He was focused on protecting children from second-hand smoke, and there are generally fewer chil-dren on patios at night, but an all-out ban might be a good idea, Blais said.
He will put his idea forward at the next city council meeting on Aug. 25.

A home-grown program focusing on helping those with chronic health conditions to live better at home will soon be offered across the province.
The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care an-nounced on Aug. 3 that it will be providing funding for the Living Healthy Champlain, a program started by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. The funding will allow the program to be established in the 14 other LHINs spread across Ontario.
The Ottawa-based program has been running since 2010 and focuses on ensuring individuals living with chronic medical conditions such as arthritis or dia-betes can manage their disease from home, decreas-ing the number of emergency room visits.
“The number of people with chronic conditions is increasing as the population ages, so it was important to make this a priority,” Alex Munter, chief executive of the Champlain LHIN said.
The Champlain LHIN provided $450,000 for the program and worked with partners to build training workshops, increase the number of volunteers avail-able for home care needs and build a stronger support system for coping at home.
The program currently has 800 individuals who have taken part in the six-week self-management workshops which were held across the region. Topics discussed at the workshops are medication use and effective communication with health professionals.
The Champlain LHIN has also extended the pro-gram to provide training for doctors and nurses so they can more effectively work and treat patients with chronic conditions.
Signifi cant cost savings have been realized by the program, according to the LHIN, by giving a person coping with a chronic condition the ability to better self-manage their affl iction.
Dr. Wilbert Keon, chairman of the Champlain LHIN board of directors, said this program is a huge part of what the LHIN hopes to accomplish in the coming years.
“The major issues we need to address is the aging population and making sure the quality of life and keeping people in their own homes is a huge priority for us,” he said.

When Sue Perry joined the Dunrobin Dames dragon boat-ing team 10 years ago, she ad-mits she had no idea what she was doing.
“We were all neighbours,” she said of the founding members from Dunrobin, “We didn’t know anything about dragon boating. We carried the boat all the way to the water, and we were told to paddle. And here we are, 10 years later.”
When the paddlers arrived in Toronto for the World ICD Drag-on boat Club Crew Champion-ships from July 21-24, they had no idea how their over-40 wom-en’s team would fare. Normally, the Dames are a recreational league, not a competitive one.
“We didn’t know if we were completely out of our league,” Dame Glenda Walker said, who travels all the way from Carrs, Que. to the Ottawa River Canoe Club (ORCC) where the team practices. “But then we got our fi rst silver.”
That silver came on July 21 for their second-place victory with their 20-person boat in the 200-metre race.
And the medals kept coming. Another silver the following day for a 500-metre race, merely two-tenths of a second behind the winning German team. Then a bronze in the two-kilometre race.
Three medals are not to be sneezed at, but another of the original members, Lola Ho, made off with four.
Ho lives in Kanata and is the drummer for the Dames, in charge of maintaining the pad-dlers’ synchronized strokes, and “keeping the girls in line.”
She was approached by anoth-er team asking for help.
“The Russian guys needed a drummer,” Ho said, so she got in the boat to keep time for them. “They won a silver, so I ended up coming home with an extra medal.”
She was even invited to step up onto the podium with the Russian Tigers men’s team to ac-cept her impromptu honour.
After returning to Dunrobin after their brush with interna-tional glory, the team still meets three times a week to practice.
Nicole Germain from Hull isn’t an offi cial Dame, but she travelled to Toronto to paddle with the team. She is a member
of the Rideau Canoe Club as well, so her training schedule was hectic. Mondays, Wednes-days and Sunday mornings were spent with the RCC, then Tues-day, Thursdays and Sunday eve-nings were at the ORCC.
All this, on top of her full-time job.
“My god, it’s been a blast,” she said. “What a bunch of great people.”
One difference Germain no-ticed between the Dames and other competitive dragon boat-ers was that their coach, Bevin Schmidt (the husband of Dame paddler L.A. Schmidt) rides alongside the paddlers in anoth-er boat, instead of getting into the same one. From that vantage point, he can check the tech-nique of each paddler and help them to improve.
“That makes a difference,” Germain said. “It’s not like bodybuilding where you’re in front of a mirror checking your form.”
Both Schmidts have full-time jobs and two children together. They were professional pad-dlers who wanted to share their experience and expertise with others.
“Bevin and L.A. are the driv-
ing force of this team,” said Mar-garet Trent Gorgichuk, another original member who lives in Dunrobin, right between Perry and the Schmidts.
During the winter, a lot of the women ski together to stay in touch.
“It’s an extended family,” Gor-gichuk said of her fellow Dames. “We look forward to it.”
Jo-Jo Chapman is one of the resident “grannies,” and has been a member for six years.
“Life begins at 60,” she said. “Just ignore the aches and pains.”
Known for “blinging” up her outfi ts, she wore big, sparkly let-ters spelling “DAME” over her jersey from the Toronto compe-tition.
Next up for the Dames is a Sep-tember race in Carleton Place, and potentially one in Arnprior. Until then, they will continue to head out onto the Ottawa River to paddle their hearts out.

BRYDGES, ManfordIn memory of a loving and dear husband who passed away August 18, 2009.
I often lay awake at night,when the world is fast asleep,And take a walk down memory lane,with tears upon my cheeks.They say there is a reason,They say that time will heal,But neither time or reason,Will change the way I feel.No one knows how many timesI have broken down and cried,Many nights I wake up crying, wishing you were here,To hold me tightly in your arms,And wipe away my tears.Along the road to yesterday, That takes me straight to you,Are memories of the Happy Times together,I still remember and always every Evening, I seem to have a way of wandering back to meet you,On the road to yesterday.
(Till we meet again)Miss you and the fishing and hunting,Love always,Wife Vera
