‘Tis the season...

Celebrations held for Earl Armstrong Road completionBy Dosi Cotroneo

EMC News - They arrived as a team to join in a cel-ebration with residents of the Riverside South community.

Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, Ottawa-West MPP Bob Chiarelli, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, and Gloucester South-Nepean ward council-lor Steve Desroches, were pleased to celebrate the com-pletion of the $35 Million Earl Armstrong Road Widen-ing Project from Limebank Road to River Road. The politicians were joined by members of the media and a crowd of jubiliant Riverside South residents at Moncion’s Your Independent Grocer on Thursday, Dec. 15.

“The widening of Earl Armstrong Road is an im-portant project for the people of Riverside South because it will ensure smooth traffi c fl ow upon the opening of the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge next year,” said Poilievre.

These signifi cant invest-ments were critical to accom-modate the current and future growth in South Ottawa.

“Our infrastructure invest-ments help our economy be-come more productive and create good jobs for Ontar-ians. Improvements to Earl

Armstrong Road will help keep people and goods mov-ing safely and effi ciently,” said Chiarelli, who also serves as Ontario minister of infra-structure and transportation.

One of the most rapidly growing communities in the City of Ottawa, Riverside South’s road improvements have helped alleviate some of the area’s traffi c pressures and improving overall trans-portation in the community including cycling.

“I am pleased this impor-tant infrastructure project is completed to meet the de-mands of our growing popu-lation and I am proud of the improvements this project brings to the South Ottawa community,” said Watson.

The project was also an important piece to the con-struction of the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge, as Earl Armstrong Road is the main roadway connection on the east side of the new bridge.

“The completion of Earl Armstrong Road was a vi-tal part of the infrastructure that is needed to support the continued construction of the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge,” said Desroches.

The project was cost-shared equally by the three levels of government.Lions’ historic signs gather steam

By Emma [email protected]

EMC News - Community members are hopping aboard a plan to commemorate Os-goode’s train station and oth-er important features of the Ottawa South village.

In March 2011, Osgoode Lion and long-time Osgoode resident Dwayne Acres be-gan researching photos and information to bring histori-cal signs to the village to pro-mote and preserve the town’s vibrant past.

When dealing with the city became too cumbersome, he passed the torch to new Lion member Trudy Quinn. She took over the paper work to get city approval for their fi rst sign, which she hopes will

commemorate the Osgoode train station at the head of the pathway.

“Nothing’s been confi rmed, it’s still got to be worked out. But that’s where the seniors are getting involved, because they are the ones with the pic-tures,” she explained. Indeed, Quinn said seniors in the area are the keepers of the village’s memories, and that knowledge must be tapped.

Acres said the train station is a good candidate for the fi rst of many historic signs throughout the village be-cause it was once the hub of the town.

“It had such a bearing on people’s lives. It was their transport to Ottawa, it brought supplies and mail. There were

other ideas (for the fi rst sign), Moses’ lumber yard and vari-ous businesses, but they were all here basically because the train was here,” he said. Acres remembers his own family using the train to ship pure-bred livestock in and out of the town.

Quinn submitted a permit application for the sign on Dec. 1. But she said the struc-ture will be so much more than a regular sign.

“These are very impres-sive. Looking at it you would think it’s a mural but it’s ac-tually a photo that was trans-ferred onto a special type of metal, and down the side is a write-up about the photo,” she explained.

Submitted photoCouncillor Steve Desroches, MP Pierre Poilievre and Mayor Jim Watson make a presentation to Marcel Moncion, owner of Moncion’s Grocer.See Signs page 2

The metal-transfer tech-nology is more cost-effective than a traditional mural, Quinn said, because the main-tenance is much lower. There is no paint, which means no touch-ups are required to fix pealing paint, and vandal-ism can be cleaned off more

easily. The signs themselves also have a longer life expec-tancy than murals and can bet-ter withstand the elements.

The Lions are not the only group excited about the histor-ic sign project. The Osgoode Village Community Asso-ciation has donated $1,000 to the effort, using money they raised through the sale of their village history book published

in 2006. Association president Lori

Daneliak said the donation was a natural fit.

“The village needs that historical component to be broadcasted and shown to vis-itors. We’re trying to promote the local history of the village itself, so when we’re bring-ing in outside business like for the medieval festival, we

want them to see the histori-cal side while they’re there,” Daneliak said.

Osgoode ward councillor Doug Thompson is also on side, noting that the signs will attract more tourism to the small community.

“Those murals will be the start of redefining what Os-goode is about. They’ll be close to the multi-use path-way. Its one piece of trying to revitalize the village and I think it’s an important step,” he said.

Quinn is also pursuing a community grant from the city’s Rural Affairs depart-ment, which in September began the Rural Community-Building Grants Program to supply funding to for various non-profit projects.

Quinn said once the train station sign is complete – hopefully before the ground freezes this winter – the Lions hope to use their leftover com-munity grant money to pur-sue more signs in prominent places throughout the town.

“We want them around the village. We want them at the Peace Park, where we can maybe do a series of them, something like ‘Osgoode in Time’. Maybe at the com-munity centre, too. It can be a really awesome thing,” she said.

Each sign will likely cost about $1,000 including the permit and installation. The permit application alone is $350 per sign.

Quinn is hoping the city will approve the sign permit as soon as possible, but if it gets delayed until the ground is too frozen she said the sign will have to wait until spring.

“I won’t have it installed if it’s not going to be done prop-erly,” she said.

Dogsled camp racing into Osgoode

By Emma [email protected]

If your child was begging for a puppy this Christmas, Pawsitively Pets kids camp might just make it happen – if only for a few days.

For the first time ever, the Toronto-based animal day camp is hosting its win-ter dog sled camp just south of Ottawa in the village of Osgoode from Dec. 27 to 30 and Jan. 3 to 6. Children aged six to 14 can join the camp for two or four days at a time to learn how to dog sled, become excellent pet owners and stay safe if they get lost in the cold.

As an added bonus, kids will even meet some exotic creatures who don’t like the cold at all, such as wallabies and cavies, as a preview for the camp’s first March Break safari camp in 2012.

Ottawa camp direc-tor Linda Sinclair said the camp is more than just playing with pups, although “experiencing the joys of this great Canadian sport” is certainly a part of it.

Along with a full day of dog sledding with profes-sional mushers, kids will meet speakers from Otta-wa’s Wild Bird Care Centre, rescue workers, dogs with jobs, and zookeepers from a variety of local zoos such as the Saunders Country Crit-ters zoo near Kemptville.

“It truly is such an in-credible experience for kids, to foster their passion for animals and to teach them empathy by working with rescuers and charitable or-ganizations. It was just such an amazing opportunity that we just had to bring it to Ottawa,” Sinclair said.

The camp will be hosted in the basement of the Os-goode Veterinarian Clinic on Osgoode Main Street. Dr. Andrew Sparling, one

of the clinic’s four vets, said the camp is a fantastic way to foster respect for animals in kids.

“Animal care is some-thing that if we can teach people at an early age the importance of looking after our animals, it will foster that behaviour later on,” he said. He added that, as a natural animal lover, he’s excited to have a dog sled team nearby over the Christmas break.

“It’s going to be quite an amazing experience, I think. Any chance I get to sneak a peak and have a look or hang out I’m going to take it,” he laughed.

Although Dr. Sparling will likely be too busy tend-ing to his furry patients to drive the sleds, some camp-ers will have a chance to lead the dog sleds themselves. Kids aged 9 to 12 will work with a professional musher from Escapade Eskimo to drive the sleds while younger kids enjoy the ride.

“We’ll give them the opportunity to feel like they’re driving the team,” Sinclair said.

Sinclair worked with the camp creator Jennifer Ego in Toronto to bring the area’s five-year-old ani-mal camps to the national capital this summer.

Sinclair said the sum-mer camp was such a suc-cess that they are complet-ing a full season in Ottawa with their new winter camp and the March Break camp next year.

Although December’s winter camp is already sold out, spots are still available for the Jan. 3 to 6 camp.

Two-day camps cost $140, and four-day camps cost $265. Registration forms can be found at www.pawsitivelypets.com.

Jumpstart Charities launch calendar pilot projectBy Steph [email protected]

EMC News – Iconic Canadian athletes will be featured in a limited edi-tion calendar created by Jumpstart Charities, Cana-dian Tire’s offi cial charitable program.

The 12-month bilingual cal-endar for 2012 will raise funds for the charity’s many sport and recreation programs, which, since 2005, have allowed more than 371,000 Canadian children to take part in summer fun and camaraderie.

Featured in the calendar are Canadians Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks,

fi gure skater Kurt Brown-ing, gold medalist hockey player Sami Jo Small and track and fi eld champion Nicole Forrester among others.

The athletes will be shown in artistic renderings created by Ca-nadian artists who donated their time and talent for the project.

The 12 athletes were cho-sen based on their previous support for the Jumpstart pro-gram. Canadian Tire hopes the calendar, which is a pilot project this year, will become an annual part of their fund-raising.

“This is our fi rst time,

but we’re already putting together the 2013 calen-dar already,” said Jennifer Hills, communications ad-visor for the Canadian Tire Corporation.

The hope is to see how the calendars perform in a select group of stores (and locations) this year before rolling it out on a wider scale.

“It’s a trial test run to see where it goes,” said Hill.

In addition to the nine On-tario Canadian Tire stores car-rying the calendar – includ-ing locations in Orléans and Arnprior – fi ve Mark’s outlets will also have the calendar in stock.

Marines bring Christmas to Ronald McDonald HouseBy Janice [email protected]

EMC News – Toys for Tots, held on Dec. 19, was a special day for 14 families with children receiving treat-ment at CHEO staying at the Ronald McDonald House. They received presents from the U.S. Marines and cel-ebrated Christmas with Santa, Mrs. Claus and the U.S. Am-bassador to Canada David Jacobson.

“This is the fifth annual Toys For Tots event in honour of the kids at Ronald McDon-ald House. This is huge for them. They get to be normal for a day,” said Carol Houston, executive director for Ronald McDonald House. “The toys are distributed throughout the year as well, at birthday par-ties, when children first arrive and other special occasions.”

According to Houston, the U.S. Marines stationed at the American Embassy on Sussex Drive organize the event and collect toys each year.

“I wanted to do something for children” said Gunnery Sergeant Aaron Guzman. “It reminds me of what it was like for me at Christmas time.”

Guzman has been with the Marines for 13 years and said he has been a part of the Toys For Tots program every year.

U.S Ambassador Jacobson was thrilled to be at Ronald McDonald House celebrating Toys for Tots and Christmas, as he shared, “There’s noth-ing more fun than this. It’s the highlight of the year. The ma-rines collected more than 400 toys from the embassy staff. It’s the last official event of the year.”

He added, “The marines who guard the embassies around the world are a part of the host country’s com-munity, which they take very seriously. We appreciate the kids’ excitement. It’s special to be here and an honour to be a part of this effort.”

Colonel William L. Hen-dricks (USMC) started Toys for Tots in 1947 in Los An-geles, California. Toys for Tots welcomes donations of new, unwrapped toys dur-ing October, November and December and delivers them to children as a mes-sage of hope and caring at Christmas.

The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation was cre-ated in September 1991 as a permanent non-profit foundation.

In 1995, the U.S. Secretary of Defense approved Toys for Tots as an official activity of the U.S. Marine Corps and an official mission of the Marine Corps Reserve.

Vitamin D might help fi ght symptoms of depressionSpecial to the EMC

People experiencing the blues, feelings of depression and other mood disorders might be able to use vitamin D to alleviate symptoms of depression. New studies point to low blood levels of vitamin D as a culprit in depression. Simply increasing these levels offers marked improvement.

A study conducted by VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam found that low

levels of vitamin D may be linked to depression and oth-er psychiatric illnesses. The Amsterdam research, which tracked over 1,200 people aged 65 to 95, showed that blood vitamin D levels were 14 per-cent lower in individuals with major and minor depression compared with non-depressed participants. A study in the United States indicated that vitamin D defi ciency occurred more often in certain people,

including African-Americans, city dwellers, the obese, and those suffering from depres-sion. People with vitamin D levels below 20 ng/mL had an 85 percent increased risk of depression compared to those with vitamin D levels greater than 30 ng/mL.

Vitamin D has long been recognized as a nutrient es-sential to the development and maintenance of strong bones. It has also recently been dis-covered to be of crucial im-portance to several aspects of overall health. Being defi cient in vitamin D has been linked to a number of disorders, in-cluding cancer, autoimmune disease, diabetes, and now depression.

Vitamin D, also known as the “sunshine vitamin,” is one of the few vitamins the body can produce. The body can get all the vitamin D it needs simply by being out in the sun with ample skin showing to absorb the rays. However, in-creased awareness about skin cancer, the importance of sun-block and wearing clothes that protect skin from harmful UV

rays has decreased many peo-ple’s production of vitamin D considerably. In the United States, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that nearly three-quarters of Americans are defi cient in vitamin D.

Although there are some food sources of vitamin D (salmon, tuna, mackerel and vitamin D-fortifi ed dairy products, such as milk), the best way to get the vitamin is through moderate sun expo-sure. According to an article in U.S News and World Report,

it’s impossible to produce vi-tamin D from the sun during the winter if you live north of Atlanta because the sun never gets high enough in the sky for its ultraviolet B rays to penetrate the atmosphere. But during the summer, when UV-B rays hit the skin, a reac-tion takes place that enables skin cells to manufacture vitamin D.

If you’re fair skinned, ex-perts say going outside for 10 minutes in the midday sun -- in shorts and a tank top with no sunscreen -- will give you

enough radiation to produce about 10,000 I.U. Darker-skinned individuals may need a little more time.

During the winter and for an extra boost, you will need to take an oral supplement. A doctor can help determine how much you need based on a simple blood test.

With anxiety, depression, risk for heart attacks and a number of other health prob-lems associated with low lev-els of vitamin D, it may be in your best interest to supple-ment with the vitamin.

Popular resolutions for 2012Special to the EMC

Every year, right before the clock strikes 12 on Decem-ber 31, people far and wide make resolutions for the new year. There are some common themes from year to year, with certain resolutions topping the lists.

* Lose weight: Whether they’re inspired by goals of healthy living, the reality of stepping on a scale after holi-day dining or simply because clothes have been a little snug, people often resolve to lose weight in the year ahead.

* Quit smoking: Individu-

als are feeling increased pres-sure to give up the habit due to smoking bans in many build-ings and public spaces. Plus, it’s one of the worst things a person can do for his or her health.

* Get fi t: In conjunction with losing weight, the over-all quest for physical fi tness drives up gym membership numbers every January.

* Tame fi nances: The fi rst credit card bill after the holi-day season may be a wakeup call for those who have had diffi culty balancing a budget. This is often a time when peo-

ple make plans to get fi nances under control at the start of the New Year.

* Enjoy life more: Many people are taking personal happiness into their own hands. Perhaps thanks to a troublesome economy and other sources of sour news, it has become common in re-cent years for resolutions to be made concerning reducing stress and having more fun by everything from spending more time with family to tak-ing time for leisure activities to simply enjoying more of the hobbies one fi nds fun.

New Year is a time for changeEMC Editorial – It’s time for new beginnings.With 2012 only days away, many people are likely in the

midst of determining what their New Year’s resolutions will be and how different their lives will be in the months that lie ahead.

While resolutions can be fun, we’ve long ago come to the realization the New Year does indeed bring change, but not al-ways in the form of weight loss, more exercise or the power to quit smoking. Change is inevitable at any time, and we don’t always have control over what it will be and when it will take place. Often, peoples’ lives can be dramatically altered because of a completely unexpected factor – job loss, illness, injury or what have you – and the end result could be far from anything anyone had ever foreseen.

Yes, change can be scary, but it doesn’t always have to be. Sometimes unexpected change could come as the result of something positive – a promotion, a pregnancy, a finan-cial windfall or more. The important thing is to be able to roll with the punches and make the most of whatever life throws at you. Yes, change is inevitable, but it’s still our choice when it comes to how we adapt to it, learn from it and move on to a brighter future.

2012 – prophecy or poppycock?A bright future may not be in the cards, however, if you’re

the superstitious-type who believes the world is going to end in 2012. According to information obtained online, there are a number of predictions claiming we can all mark “Doomsday” on our calendars for Dec. 21, 2012. Some say an ancient Ma-yan calendar points to 2012 as the end of the world, determin-ing Dec. 21 as the exact date because that is when the calendar ends. Others reference the prophecies of Nostradamus as an-other source for the Earth’s impending demise.

We don’t necessarily agree with these predictions, as -- like many people likely agree -- it all sounds too unbelievable and rather far-fetched. At the same time, however, we’ve already expressed how change can happen at any time and, sometimes, without warning.

Having said that, the EMC hopes you had a very Merry Christmas and wishes our readers nothing but the best for 2012. Happy New Year!

Predictions for 2012 may or may not hold trueEMC Lifestyle – It’s been

my very great pleasure to cover not only Ottawa West but also other areas of the city for the EMC newspapers over the past year. In that time, I met people I normally wouldn’t have, asked ques-tions considered rude under other circumstances and had the opportunity to observe behind-the-scenes that made me realize what a privilege it is to do this job.

I never told the people I interviewed how much I ap-preciated having them open up their lives to me, taking the chance that I would find the right words to tell their story; I wish I had. To all of you, thank you. Many of you made an indelible impression on my heart.

Too late, perspective al-

lows you to see when you’re having the time of your life. But instead of getting maudlin by looking back on what was and what might have been, the optimist looks ahead – with the New Year comes new op-portunities. Here, with tongue planted firmly in cheek, are my predictions for 2012:

January: As part of his new year’s resolution to amp up his appearances at commu-nity events, Mayor Jim Wat-son will immerse himself in

various baking classes – from a pastry class at Le Cordon Bleu to adult learning classes in cookies and cupcakes at high schools across the city – thus ensuring he has at least one bake sale to attend each weekend: his own.

February: A Russian oli-garch buys all radio stations broadcasting in Canada for $100 trillion dollars. The Ca-nadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Com-mission (CRTC) will approve the sale, lauding one-owner-ship and consolidation as the right move to ensure the fu-ture of Canadian radio.

March: After being woken up in the middle of the night by a restless offspring, Ride-au-Goulbourn ward council-lor Scott Moffatt will realize he can tweet more often sim-

ply by setting his alarm to go off every 15 minutes through-out the night.

April: Overnight, all ves-tiges of winter will disappear; the temperature will climb into the high teens, peaking in the low 20s. People will complain about the heat and about the fact that spring barely makes an appearance in Ottawa, with winter segueing into summer. Climatologist Ian Black will announce a previous record was nearly broken.

May: Organizers unveil The Festival of Festivals, a 10-day event in which a repre-sentative of each of Ottawa’s 1,643 festivals produces a five-minute overview of their particular festival. Ottawans will attend in droves.

June: Residents will decry another development in their

neighbourhood, this one a bungalow, as intensification. After collecting 231 signa-tures on their petition, orga-nizers will hold a bake sale to raise funds for the upcom-ing Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing, during which their children perform a play they wrote themselves out-lining the group’s grievances against the developer.

July: During a heat wave, some city beaches will be closed due to high levels of E. coli.

August: NIMBYs in vari-ous pockets of Ottawa will merge with other NIMBY groups. The consolidated or-ganization will disband after disagreeing where to meet, with each group vehemently opposed to holding a meeting in their own neighbourhood.

September: City council will give the go-ahead to a feasibility study for a pro-posed mass transit route be-tween Aylmer and Ottawa. The light rail line, tunneled under the Ottawa River, will be called the L’O Train.

October: After battling shy-ness for most of his life, West Carleton-March ward council-lor, deputy-mayor and intro-vert Eli El-Chantiry will enlist the services of a media consul-tant to teach him to open up and say exactly what’s on his mind. He considers whether to learn a cussword or two to make media interviews more colourful, especially after his trainer tells him he doesn’t have to be so politically cor-rect all the time.

Letters to the editor

DEAR EDITOR:This is in reference to Strange but True article by Steph

Willems (EMC Dec. 15). He states, “Approaching vehicles yield to those already in the roundabout. There, that’s all you need to know.”

I disagree, the other important thing one needs to know is to signal when you’re about to exit.This is especially true when exiting from the left lane. Those motorists in the right lane have to know when left lane vehicles intend to exit.

DEAR EDITOR:I don’t think warrantless wiretapping and spying should be

allowed. The very people who are supposed to protect and serve

us have had a less-than-stellar performance.Without the neccessary controls and oversight, they

would be allowed to run amok, and innocent people will be hurt.

Requiring a warrant issued by the courts helps protect us from illegal search.

Probable cause can be thrown out the window, and be-fore you know it, we have people being arrested com-pletely by accident, inconvenienced, and having their families lives ruined.

Allowing this sort of behavior will only push internet ac-tivities and communications underground, with full-on strong encryption (if it isn’t already happening anyway).

These laws don’t protect us, they give the police new sweep-ing powers to fill their quota in case they are unable to crack the encryption of those that are truly trying to hide something nefarious.

Improve the efficiency of your

inhaler for the treatment of asthma

Several people use pressurized metered-dose inhalers, to better control their asthma. The benefits obtained from this treatment largely depend on the user’s ability to work the device correctly. In practice, less than half of those who use the pressurized metered-dose inhaler do so optimally.

If you or your child must use a pressurized metered-dose inhaler to control your asthma symptoms, here are a few tips:

To maximize the benefits of your pressurized metered-dose inhaler, get an easy-to-use device such as the anti-static valved holding chamber AeroChamber Plus* Flow-Vu. This consists of a medical device that helps push the flow of medication contained in a pressurized metered-dose inhaler, into the lungs. It helps to solve coordination problems linked to the misuse of the inhaler;

Whatever device you choose (with mask or mouthpiece), make sure it suits all of your needs or those of your child. Your pharmacist can help you choose the best device;

Make sure you are well informed on how to use the products in your possession;

Clean your device regularly by referring to the manufacturer’s instructions;

Closely follow your doctor’s instructions on how to use the prescribed medications contained in a pressurized metered-dose inhaler.

Talk to your pharmacist or consult the PJC Friendly Advice for more information on how to better control your asthma.

Rise in swarmings prompts police warningBy Steph [email protected]

EMC News – A 20 per cent increase in the number of swarmings on Ottawa streets has led the police to issue a warning to residents, ask-ing them to take necessary precautions.

The statistic quoted by the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) is a year-to-date fi gure, indi-cating a spike of 46 swarm-ings over the annual average, with personal robberies up by 13 incidents.

Recent swarmings, the lo-cations of which stretch from the downtown core to the sub-urbs, often include the theft of an electronic device such as an iPhone.

Some of the robberies and swarmings (the latter defi ned as two or more people robbing someone) included a physical assault.

When asked what the police attributed the rise in swarm-ings to, Cst. Henri Lanctot said there are always a num-ber of factors behind any

drop or spike in crime rates – factors that are often hard to pin down.

As such, they are stepping up patrols and asking people to be vigilant.

“We like to add patrols in certain areas, but it’s hard to gauge these things – you can’t

predict crime day to day,” said Lanctot. “Statistics change all the time… (These) are crimes of opportunity, but it’s the type of behaviour we see much more of in the spring and fall.”

The unusually warm fall and early winter could ac-count for part of the rise in swarmings, as better weather meant more people would be walking outdoors.

People walking with mu-sic playing through ear-phones represent an easy target, as they are unlikely to hear danger approaching or be hyper-vigilant to their surroundings.

“(In situations like this), we always ask the assistance of the general public,” said Lanctot. “It’s a reminder to citizens more than anything else…Don’t cut through parks or school yards after dark, walk with a friend, and stay in well lit areas. At least if you’re walking on a road-way there will be more light and people driving by… You

want the odds to be in your favour.”

It also stands to reason to not display electronic gad-gets outside your clothes, as this is a visual attraction to thieves.

Once a phenomenon of in-ner city urban areas, swarm-ings now know no boundar-ies. In the past six months there have been two reported swarmings in Barrhaven, one on July 26 and another on Dec. 3 in the VIA Rail underpass at Conway and Dolan Drive.

That secluded spot, lo-cated out of sight from near-by homes and dimly lit to boot, is the type of area you would want to avoid dur-ing nighttime hours, said Lanctot.

In the most recent inci-dent, which occurred just af-ter 1 a.m., a lone 23-year-old man was swarmed by four youths who tried to take his wallet and cell phone. The man suffered injuries during the robbery.

New Year brings about familiar changesEMC Lifestyle - As far as

Father was concerned there were going to be some chang-es made in the New Year. He couldn’t count the number of years he had spent every night sitting in front of the Findlay Oval in his rocking chair with his feet up on the oven door. Now all that had changed. Mother had decided she would be like all the other farm wives in Northcote and put up a quilting frame in the kitchen. Then she would be able to take her turn at having the afternoon quilting bees just like everyone else.

Of course that meant the big rectangle frame took up most of the space, since it would be impossible to even consider putting it up in the parlour, which was the

smallest room in the house. And besides, in the winter, when everyone quilted, the parlour was as cold as an igloo. So the kitchen was the only place for the big lumbering quilting frame.

So, the first thing Father threatened when the New Year rolled around, was to get rid of the quilting frame.

Everything had to be shift-ed around to make way for it when Mother made up her

mind to have the neighbour-hood ladies in when it came her turn.

The big pine table was shoved to the centre of the floor, and almost touched the wood box, the ice box was moved, and the back-to-the-wall cupboard, in-stead of sitting cattie corner was flat against the wall and came awfully close to the stove.

Of course, that meant Fa-ther had no room for his rock-ing chair. He liked lots of room for his favourite sitting spot on a cold winter night.

Well, the new page on the Rexall calendar had hardly had a chance to get used to it’s place on the wall , when Father started lament-ing about getting the kitch-en back to what he called “normal”.

But what to do with it was the question. A quilt had al-ready been started, and Moth-er had already had two after-noons with the neighbour-hood ladies crammed around the big frame.

My sister Audrey said if the truth be told, Mother would be as glad as Father to see the last of it. There was hardly

room to walk around it, and besides it took up four kitchen chairs, whose backs were the resting place for the wood slats that formed the frame. Yes, my sister Audrey said, Mother would be just as glad as Father to see it gone.

But Mother would never admit this to Father. Giving in just wasn’t her way. No, said my older and much wiser sister, Mother would just have to think of a way to get rid of the quilting frame without ad-mitting it was a mistake put-ting it up in the kitchen in the first place.

Well, as it so often hap-pened, our neighbour (who Mother often said saved her life when she moved to the farm after living in New York City for 18 years) solved the problem.

Aunt Bertha’s house, across the 20 acre field from us, was much bigger than ours. It had to be to accommodate the many children in the house-hold. And I used to think the kitchen could probably hold our entire old log house with no trouble at all!

As it turned out, one of the Thom girls had been married in the Fall, and having grown

up in a houseful of quilters, she very much wanted to take Aunt Bertha’s quilting frame over to her home a few concessions away.

When Aunt Bertha told Mother how she would miss having a quilting frame in the kitchen, Mother never missed a beat and offered her the one from our kitchen.

Although Aunt Bertha said she couldn’t possibly take our frame, Mother insisted. And she said, after all, it wasn’t as if it was being moved out of the county.

And besides, she would be there often at the quilting bees with all the other North-cote ladies during the winter months ahead.

All I know is that one day in January we went off to the Northcote School as usual. And when we got home, the quilting frame was gone. Now, how Father got it over to Aunt Bertha’s without dis-rupting the quilt already in it, was an issue no one was pre-pared to discuss!

But all I know was when I walked in the kitchen from school, the old pine table was back against the window looking out into the grape

arbour, the ice box was back cattie-corner, the back-to-the wall cupboard was where it had stood for three genera-tions, and Father’s rocking chair was in its place beside the wood box.

That night, I looked around the old familiar room that was our kitchen. It seemed so much larger, but of course, it wasn’t. It just seemed that way without the quilt frame. As always, Father had the Findlay Oval fair jumping, and the heat could be felt in the farthest cor-ner of the room. And there sat Father.

In his rocking chair, his stockinged feet up on the oven door, and the Ot-tawa Farm Journal on his lap.

We never knew what other changes Father had in mind for the beginning of the New Year. He seemed content that the most important one had been accomplished with little fanfare, and to everyone’s sat-isfaction.

To all of you, our faithful readers, may I send my sin-cere best wishes for a year ahead of good health and happiness. Mary Cook

Daily activities can burn caloriesSpecial to the EMC

Some people think they have to spend hours at the gym sweating on the treadmill or elliptical trainer in order to burn calories and lose weight. As it turns out, the things you do every single day could be burning more calories than you realized. Some discipline with your diet and certain healthy habits can make the difference for those attempt-ing to lose weight.

Getting eight hours of sleep can burn more than 300 calo-ries for the average person.

Discovery Health and Har-vard Medical School shared common everyday activities and how many calories can be burned depending on weight. These figures are based on a

person weighing around 150 pounds and a duration of one hour of activity.

* Supermarket shopping: Pushing a wagon around the supermarket for an hour can burn 240 calories or more. Up the ante by bagging groceries yourself and packing and un-packing them from the car.

* Raking leaves: If you spent time manually rak-ing leaves this past fall, you were doing something good for your body. In addition to working several muscle groups, you may have spent 300 calories.

* Dusting: Spring cleaning is right around the corner, and that can be good news for your health. Dusting alone can burn as much as 160 calories.

* Cooking: Here’s a reason to get fired up about cooking. Making a simple meal can add up to 200 calories lost. Just don’t sabotage those lost calo-ries by cooking up a fattening dinner.

* Moving: Packing and moving may seem like a big task one rarely looks for-ward to, but carrying boxes can burn 460 calories an hour. Packing, moving and unpacking yourself may be the diet plan you’ve been seeking.

* Painting: Perhaps you’ve been procrastinating on that house painting project. Here’s inspiration to break out the rollers and brushes. Spend-ing an hour painting can burn 350 calories.

FOOD EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Recalling a remarkable year in the countryEMC Lifestyle - At the end

of every year, I usually write a column that isn’t a recipe but that is food-related. This time, however, instead of food, I want to share with you some of the enjoyment we’ve had watching the local wildlife during the past year.

We live in a rural area on a property that has a lot of mixed bush. Over the 36 years that we’ve been here, we’ve seen a variety of wildlife and birds, but this year’s sightings were exceptional.

In the spring, we looked out our kitchen window one morning and saw an indigo bunting at the bird feeder. This bird takes your breath away with its brilliant blue

colour, and we’ve only ever seen two or three.

A few days later, I startled up a pileated woodpecker near the barn, a bird that we often hear tapping on the trees but one that we seldom see. It sat on the telephone wire for almost fi ve minutes be-fore fl ying to the front of the house where it was joined by its mate.

Then there are the deer that

share our property and occa-sionally our garden with us. We see the does with their fawns every summer, but this year was special. We saw a newborn fawn that was less than an hour old, the youngest we’ve ever seen.

Early one evening in June, from our kitchen window, we spotted a pregnant doe in the fi eld beside the house. As we watched, we realized that she was acting in an unusual way, wandering restlessly without grazing.

We suspected that she might be close to giving birth and continued watching her for awhile. Seeing nothing happening, we eventually went back to our chores.

Less than an hour later, we looked out and saw her again. Only this time, there was a tiny spotted fawn following her. Still wet, it was hardly bigger than a cat. Its legs were so short and spindly that it had to hop over even the smallest tufts of grass.

The next morning, we saw them again. By then, the fawn had founds its balance and was running around the fi eld, fi rst in one direction, then an-other, full of energy and en-joying itself. Meanwhile, its mother followed along, trying to stay nearby.

Not all our visitors were tiny and cute however. One evening about 8:30, as Jeff came into the living room

where I was sitting, he blurted out “Oh, my gosh! Look!”

A large black bear was walking across our lawn bare-ly 20 feet from the house. I had just come in from the barn 15 minutes before, so that was far too close for comfort. I don’t think I started breathing again until the bear had disap-peared into the bush.

Next, the wild turkeys showed up. At fi rst, there were two adult females with 15 chicks between them, then another female joined them with her young, and brought the number up to 22. Over the summer and fall, we watched the young turkeys grow from turtle-sized lumps into adult birds.

Now, almost every after-noon just before dusk, we see between 15 and 20 tur-keys march across our lawn or the nearby fi eld, always in single fi le. When they reach the maple bush at the end of the house, they fl y up into the trees where they roost for the night. In the morn-ing, they wake, stretch, and preen, then fl y to the ground, wings spread as they come in for a landing to start another day of ambling along looking for food.

From a newborn fawn to a bear, from a striking blue in-digo bunting to turkeys with iridescent bronze feathers, it was a remarkable year in the country.

How to use diet to supplement your workout routineSpecial to the EMC

EMC Lifestyle - Men and women who have successful-ly adopted healthy lifestyles know full well that combin-ing exercise with a healthy diet is the key to getting and staying healthy.

Simply visiting the gym won’t work if it’s not coupled with a healthy diet.

But many people incorrect-ly assume that a healthy diet is one devoid of taste. That simply isn’t true.

In fact, a healthy diet does not necessarily restrict foods, but how frequently some of those riskier foods can be consumed.

The following are some of the steps men and women can take to ensure their work-outs aren’t losing their ef-fectiveness due to unhealthy eating habits.

* Start the day off with a healthy breakfast. Many foods make healthy breakfast options, including fruit and whole-grain cereals.

Unfortunately, on-the-go men and women often reach for what’s readily available, and what’s readily available isn’t necessarily healthy. Avoid breakfast sandwiches that are high in fat and calo-ries, and avoid eating fried foods for breakfast.

For those men and women who prefer to workout fi rst thing in the morning, keep in mind it’s important to eat before working out, even if

those workouts are in the wee hours of the morning. Work-ing out on an empty stomach can cause feelings of light-headedness. In addition, many people are sluggish if they ex-ercise on an empty stomach, which can make workouts less effective. If eating before a morning workout isn’t your thing, consider going with a small snack before beginning your routine.

If even that is not ideal, then consider a snack before bedtime. However, this option won’t necessarily prove effec-tive, as your body might just consume all of the energy this snack provides while you’re asleep.

* Reassess your snacking habits. If greasy potato chips

or sleep-inducing baked goods like brownies are your idea of the perfect snack, then it’s time to reassess your snack-ing habits. Snacks should not induce sleep, but provide a little extra energy and reduce any hunger pangs. Fresh fruit, yogurt, energy bars, and even whole-grain crackers with a little peanut butter each make for a healthy snack that won’t zap you of valuable energy during the day.

* Let food help your mus-cles recover. Some people feel they might negate the positive effects of their workout if they eat immediately after exercis-ing. That’s not necessarily true. In fact, foods that contain protein and carbohydrates can actually help your muscles re-

cover after a workout. Yogurt (Greek yogurt is packed with protein), fruit, dried fruit, and nuts make great post-workout food options, and none will negate the effect of that gruel-ing workout you just fi nished. In general, the longer you wait to eat after exercising, the lon-ger it will take your muscles

to recover.* Stay hydrated. Water is

an essential part of a healthy diet, and it’s even more essen-tial before, during and after a workout. When exercising, your body will lose a signifi -cant amount of water, which can cause the body to dehy-drate. Drink water before and

after your workout, and don’t forget to focus on staying hy-drated during your workout as well.

Daily exercise is essen-tial to longterm health. But all those hours in the gym won’t pay off if they’re not combined with healthy eating habits.

Kick off the New Year with sounds of Static RevoltBy Janice [email protected]

EMC News – Local Ot-tawa band Static Revolt will be kicking off the New Year’s celebration at The Rainbow on Dec. 31 from 4 to 7 p.m.

Band members Avi Agul-nik, 24 guitarist; Aaron Gravel, 20 bassist and Scott Masterson, 30 drummer and Tim Miller, 27 lead singer, are more than pleased to entertain their fans as they ring in the New Year.

Static Revolt’s sound is reminiscent of mid-90s rock. They have been playing to-gether for the last two and half years and have been fairly successful with two EPs out and another on the way.

Whatever you do don’t re-fer to them as a heavy metal band or a pop rock band as Gravel explained, “We’re not a metal band, but we’re not like John Mayer.”

It’s a well-known fact that a lot of great Canadian tal-ent inevitably moves south to the U.S. so their music can be produced and marketed with zeal.

“There are big bands out of Canada but we have a long way to go,” said Gravel. “Bands have to go to the U.S. to break into the market.”

Gravel’s interest in music began when he fi rst heard Se-attle band Nirvana.

“I love their raw energy. That’s when my obsession with music started.”

Static Revolt is putting in the time it takes to make it, as they rehearse as much as they can in between going to their day jobs. Agulnik and Miller work as mechanics, Master-son works as an auto detailer and Gravel studies fi lm and music at Carleton University.

“We’re trying to bring rock back,” said Miller. “Our goal is to be the biggest band in the world.”

As the band experiences more success the original goal of being professional musi-cians is ever more a reality.

“It’s exciting; we’re defi -nitely looking a this as a busi-ness and career option.”

Rock and roll needs a bit of old school soul as Agulnik explained, “There’s too much soft rock out there. We’re a band who’s aggressive, who puts everything we have into our music. We want to be big-ger than Deathclock.”

Agulnik got his start in a pretty unique way, “I’m a Yakama wearing Jewish boy. I took my Bar Mitzvah money and bought a guitar and I’ve been playing it for the last 13 years.”

Masterson said he dreamt about being a musician when he was younger and then experienced the moment for real.

“I was in the dressing room preparing for the show and felt like I had seen that scene before. I got to play in front of 2,100 people.”

Static Revolt has had a lot of local success playing gigs at Rainbow, Mavericks, Pub 101, Live Lounge, Avant Garde and more across Otta-wa. They’ve opened for Buck Cherry, Pretty Reckless and

Bleaker Ridge. They have competed in Live 85.5 Big Money Shot and performed at Ottawa 67’s games.

Their top fi ve favourite songs are Sinners Tongue: about sex and temptation;

Persephone: about the Greek myth; At Home: the felling of being home; Rise and Fall: about being there for your friends and The Slinky Song AKA Passion Infec-tious: super egoistical rob zombie-esque anthem of liberation.

They are currently working on their third EP and prepar-ing to tour in the New Year. They are hoping to play at the Junos and Bluesfest.

Fans can fi nd them on their Facebook page www.face-book.com/pages/STATIC-REVOLT.

Fans can contact them through their Fa-cebook page to purchase their EP.

OPP caution the public about 9-1-1 pocket dialsSpecial to the EMC

EMC News - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is re-minding the public about im-portant but simple steps they can take to avoid what is com-monly referred to as “9-1-1 pocket dials.”

A pocket-dial occurs when a cellular phone stored in an insecure fashion in places such as pockets, handbags and backpacks inadvertent-ly place calls while being tossed about.

OPP Provincial Communi-cations Centres (PCC) contin-ue to see far too many pocket dials.

These calls unnecessar-ily tie up 9-1-1 lines and can result in delayed response for people who are dealing with real emergencies and need immediate assistance from police, fi re or medical personnel.

To prevent a cellular phone from pocket dialing, keep it in a holster that is designed for that specifi c cellular phone. If you don’t have a holster, make sure to lock your de-vice’s keypad. Since some

cellular phones allow 9-1-1 to be dialed even with a locked keypad, it is important to read your user manual or contact your cellular phone service provider to fi nd out what other features are available to pre-vent pocket dials.

The OPP is also remind-ing the public that if a cell phone does accidentally dial 9-1-1, the wrong thing to do is hang up.

When PCC operators re-ceive 9-1-1 calls that re-sult in the caller hanging up, they are required to make call-backs to ascertain whether the call is legiti-mate or accidental while also dispatching an offi cer to at-tend to confi rm the caller’s safety when locations are identifi able.

It is therefore impor-tant to stay on the line and tell the PCC operator what happened.

The OPP is relying on the public to take these impor-tant steps to avoid pocket dials so that 9-1-1 lines can be available to those who need them.

Pet AdoptionsANIMALS OF CHRISTMAS

DUSTYDusty, is a much-loved fi ve-year-old pet parrot that fl ew

the coop when he was spooked by the sound of a loud plane overhead. He went missing from his family’s home for two weeks this past summer. The family was devas-tated and feared that he would never return. Two weeks later, Dusty was found and brought to the OHS. A joyous reunion with his owners soon followed thanks to the dedi-cated OHS staff.

O.C. ID#A089606O.C. (for Orange Cat) is fi ve years old, and one of the lon-

gest residents at the OHS. O.C. was brought to the shelter as a stray last July. Over those fi ve months, shelter staff have come to know this orange tabby very well and observed that he’s defi nitely a loner. With that in mind, and in order to keep him relaxed and happy to receive visitors at the shelter, O.C. is now housed in a cat condo all his own while he waits patiently for a forever home.

ROBYNThis four-year-old Collie/German Shepherd mix was

transferred from another shelter to the OHS. Robyn is al-ways on the go! She’s very intelligent and active, but while in the Adoption Centre, the OHS Canine Behaviour Special-ist observed that she was becoming more and more restless and stressed. To keep her busy and stimulated, an enrich-ment program was developed for her. OHS volunteer dog walkers implemented the program and successfully worked with Robyn to keep her relaxed and to teach her basic com-mands, until she was adopted into her forever home.

KRINGLE ID#A138464Kringle is a three-month-old Great Dane mix who was re-

cently rescued by the OHS RIS team following a call from a member of the public who spotted him loose and injured in the neighbourhood. Kringle couldn’t stand or walk when he was brought in. He had bumps and small lesions on his snout and was in a great deal of pain. The OHS veterinar-ian gave him pain medication and diagnosed him with an uncommon condition, known as Juvenile Cellulitis. He was immediately treated with medication for this condition and Kringle is now recuperating in the home of a foster volun-teer and will continue to be monitored by the OHS veteri-narian until he’s ready for his own forever home.

City invests in affordable housing stock with 26-unit developmentBy Steph [email protected]

EMC News – While home-lessness remains an ever-pres-ent issue in Canadian cities, Ottawa has taken another step forward in providing much-needed roofs for deserving families.

Representatives from the City of Ottawa and Ot-tawa Community Housing (OCH) gathered on an empty lot on Carson’s Road in the city’s east end on Dec. 19 to break ground on a 26-unit affordable housing development.

The trio of three-storey buildings set to rise from the lot, which was previously unused scrubland, will cost $6 million; $4 million com-ing from the city and the remainder provided by OCH.

The city’s share will be drawn from Ottawa’s Housing and Homelessness Investment Plan, a fund created in the 2011 municipal budget.

“Often at city hall we talk of big…but the fact is these events have great meaning for me and the city,” said Ottawa mayor Jim Watson. “This is where we take a strategy and bring it down to the commu-nity level. With this develop-ment, 26 families…will have a place to call home.”

Watson thanked OCH chief executive officer Jo-Anne Poirier and her staff for their hard work in getting the proj-ect off the ground. The build-ings, which will be completed in 2012, represented a “won-derful Christmas gift” to those waiting for housing, he said.

The development will be

constructed in stacked-town-home style with wheelchair-accessible units available on the ground floor for those living with disabilities. The three-building complex will be integrated with an existing OCH development located to the south of the property.

Though homelessness is a pervasive issue, it is not an issue that can be dealt with overnight, and is one that re-quires the combined efforts of multiple partners both in gov-ernment and the community.

Strategies like the city’s investment plan are a good start.

“We’re taking action with projects like Carson’s Road,” said Bay ward councillor Mark Taylor, chair of the city’s Community and Protective Services Committee. “This project wouldn’t be possible without the expertise of our partner, Ottawa Community Housing… This is important not just to the community, but the city as a whole. Imagine the thought of not being able to provide a home for your children – spending the night in a shelter and not know-ing where you will be the next night.”

Ottawa Community Hous-ing is the city’s largest social housing provider, with 32,000 residents living in OCH buildings.

Gloucester-South Nepean ward councillor Steve Desro-ches, chair of the OCH board of directors, praised the “com-

mitment and professionalism” of OCH staff in maintaining their stock of housing units – which range from brand new to a century old – while advo-cating for new housing units.

Both Peter Hume, plan-ning committee chair and Alta

Vista ward councillor, and Rideau-Rockliffe Peter Clark called on the federal govern-ment to come on board and in-vest in this crucial part of the city’s infrastructure.

“In order to do more, we need the federal government

at the table,” said Hume. “We need to invest in housing in our cities – we need to invest in homelessness.”

Clark agreed, saying “we have a mission, and that mission is to help all that need it.”

NAC Orchestra Players Association Christmas FanFair concert, fundraising campaign raises $32,562 for Ottawa Food Bank and Snowsuit FundSpecial to the EMC

EMC News - The musi-cians of the National Arts Centre Orchestra are pleased to announce that the 2011 NACO musicians’ Christmas FanFair fundraising campaign has raised a total of $32, 562 for the Snowsuit Fund and the Ottawa Food Bank. This amount will be divided evenly

between the two charities.Organizers Marjolaine

Fournier and David Thies-Thompson and the musicians of the NAC Orchestra wish most sincerely to thank the National Arts Centre, host Rosemary Thompson, spe-cial guest conductor Laureen Harper, CBC Radio person-ality mezzo-soprano Julie

Nesrallah, violist Paul Casey, the Ottawa Regional Youth Choir (prepared by music director Kevin Reeves), the KidSingers from the Ottawa OrKidstra program., mem-bers of the International Alli-ance of Theatrical Stage Em-ployees (IATSE) Local 471, Josie Finestone, and Friends of the National Arts Centre

Orchestra, for their generous support.

Begun in 1989, this is now the third decade for the Christmas FanFair benefit produced by the musicians of the NAC Orchestra to benefit the Snowsuit Fund and the Ot-tawa Food Bank. The Snow-suit Fund is an Ottawa-based charity that has been raising

funds for the purchase and distribution of snowsuits to needy children 15 years and under for more than 25 years. The demand for their services continues to grow; in 2008-2009, the Snowsuit Fund dis-tributed nearly 15,000 new snowsuits. The Ottawa Food Bank provides 43,000 people each month with emergency

food assistance, 40 per cent of whom are children. The Ottawa Food Bank supports more than 135 food programs throughout the National Capi-tal Region, distributing 12 tons of food every working day; $1 donated to the Ot-tawa Food Bank generates $5 worth of food into the community.

Do you have a upcoming event in your neighbourhood that other readers should know about? If the answer is Yes — The EMC wants to hear from you! Anything from news to arts to winning sports teams can be reported in your

community newspaper by contacting us.Please call 613-688-1474 or e-mail us at [email protected] and let us know about your story idea.

Many Ontarians waiting for new organsSpecial to the EMC

EMC News –More than 1,500 Ontario families are hoping for only one gift this holiday season: the gift of life for their loved one.

Ontarians are being asked to give the gift of life this holiday and register their consent to donate by visiting www.BeADonor.ca. Online registration only takes three minutes and can potentially

save up to eight lives. People who are already registered are urged to speak to their fam-ily to inform them of their wish. Doing this helps im-prove the rate of successful donations.

“A signed paper donor card doesn’t mean you are regis-tered,” says Ronnie Gavsie, president and CEO of Tril-lium Gift of Life Network. “Ontarians should visit www.

BeADonor.ca to register their consent for organ and tissue donation or check to see if they are registered. By signif-icantly increasing the number of registered donors in Ontar-io, deaths on the wait list can be eliminated and lives will be saved.”

Krystina Henniker and her family have been hoping for a miracle since she was diag-nosed with dilated cardiomy-

opathy and placed on the heart transplant list in May 2010. The 25 year-old is a Ham-ilton mother of four who’s own mother died of the same disease in 2000.

“Waiting is very hard on the whole family,” explains Joanna Mitchell, mother of six-year-old heart recipient Ryley Mitchell and Krystina’s cousin. “Kids don’t under-stand why their Mommy can’t

do normal things, and they worry they will lose her before she gets her ‘special heart’. It is so important to let your loved ones know you believe in organ and tissue donation. Registering consent is one of the most important gifts we can give.”

Quick factsEvery three days another

person dies waiting for an or-

gan transplant.One organ and tissue do-

nor can save up to eight lives and enhance as many as 75 others.

Only 20 per cent of Ontar-ians have registered their con-sent to donate.

Only 50 per cent of fami-lies consent to donate their loved one’s organs when they aren’t aware of their consent to donate.

Last week’s answers

This weeks puzzle answers in

July 15th issue

0708

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Patience is a virtue, Aries. The best will be in store for you later in the week. There’s not much chance for adventure Monday or Tuesday, but things pick up on Wednesday.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21Taurus, a good night is in store this week. The night brings rewards you did not expect. Working hard yields more than financial success.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Trust your instincts, Gemini. Someone who seems like they have your best interests at heart really may have ulterior motives. Heed Capricorn’s sage advice.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you may feel like you’re the only one keeping the ship from sinking. However, this is not the case. Behind-the-scenes work is taking place, too.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, it seems as if drama is always following you. That’s because you tend to be the life of the party or prefer all eyes be on you. Think about being less conspicuous.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, it’s hard to keep friends if you are overly critical of the way they live their lives. Remember, no one is perfect — including you. Keep an open mind.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, start thinking about curbing your spending. Your finances are in trouble if you don’t make some changes. More is going out than is coming into your accounts.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, there’s not much you can do about the current situation. Complaining about things won’t solve anything, so why waste the breath? Better news is on the horizon.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21You’re in over your head, Sagittarius. Too many projects and not enough helpers can leave you feeling over-whelmed. You may want to tackle one thing at a time.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, new beginnings have arrived and you’re excited about all of the prospects. Others may share your joy but not to the extent that you do.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, it’s alright to be cautious with your decisions, but taking much too long could indicate you’re not ready for a change. Soon a spouse or partner will grow impatient.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20It’s hard to accept help sometimes, Pisces. But help is what you need right now. Accept it with open arms.

Last week’sanswers

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you may be all talk early in the week, but when Friday rolls around, you will have nothing much to say. Fortunately you have other things to fall back on.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, financial pressures can quickly turn a good week into one full of stress. There are things out of your control, but you can take back your finances.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, even though you care about your coworkers, you are not very cooperative this week. You prefer to remain low-key, and you’re not planning on being a social butterfly.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, issues may arise over the path you have chosen. This uncertainty could cause you to mask your feelings with humor, but someone will see the truth.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, as much as you may want to help a friend make his or her dreams come to fruition, you simply do not have the time to devote to this project this week.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you know what you have to get done, but you are stalled by fear of making the wrong choices. You could turn to running around as a distraction.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Accomplishing some goals this week may not bring you closer to the love you seek or the recognition you desire, Libra. It is essential to refocus your efforts.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, although you may prefer to avoid a confrontation with someone and move on, you have to face the problem head-on. Otherwise nothing will be resolved.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Keep up the appearance of being a strong leader at work and at home, Sagittarius. You don’t realize just how many people are watching your actions and using them as an example.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, relationship drama arises when you have a desire for relationship security but also want to be independent. There is no reason you cannot find a compromise.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, you have been keeping up with all of the social events in your life but they are wearing you down considerably. It’s time to give yourself a timeout.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, someone doesn’t approve of what you are doing but you can’t figure out why. The reasons will reveal themselves in time.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Winchester District Memorial Hospital staff bring holiday cheerSpecial to the EMC

EMC News - Once again this year, Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) staff gave back to local com-munities with the Angel Wish Tree Campaign. Food and gifts for 85 “Angels” – boys and girls of varying ages in our local communities – were recently delivered to the Dundas County Food Bank (Winchester location), mak-ing Christmas a bit brighter for children and families in need. The donations helped to fi ll more than 180 Christ-mas basket requests in Ches-terville, South Mountain and Winchester.

WDMH staff member Di-anne Lapier organized this year’s project and was over-whelmed by the response. “As I watch my offi ce fi ll up with gifts year after year, it is obvious that we have a wonderful, kind staff work-ing here who truly care about the communities they live and work in, and I want to thank everyone.”

The North Dundas Christ-mas Fund (NDCF) coor-dinates the distribution of Christmas food baskets, Angel Tree gifts/toys, and snowsuits (13 and under), with representatives from the following community ser-vice groups/organizations: the Mountain & District Li-ons Club, Winchester Lions Club, Winchester Legion Branch #108, Chesterville Christmas Basket Commit-tee, as well as House of La-zarus and the Dundas County Food Bank.

“We want to acknowl-edge the role that Winchester District Memorial Hospital has played in the collec-tion of angel tree gifts. It is a gesture that everyone con-cerned greatly appreciates

once again this year,” noted Donna Quesnel, administrator, Dundas County Food Bank. “All donations dur-

ing the holiday season help families in need and are much appreciated.”

WDMH staff and physi-

cians were happy to be able to give back to the communities that have been so supportive of the hospital.

Submitted photo WDMH provided 85 angel tree gifts plus food items to the North Dundas Christ-mas Fund (NDCF) which helped fi ll approximately 180 Christmas Basket requests last week by the three North Dundas locations of Chesterville, South Mountain, and Winchester. At the drop-off are: Judy Hilson, DCFB coordinator, Dianne Lapi-er, WDMH, Alana McDonald, a St. Michael Catholic High School (Kemptville) stu-dent currently at WDMH, Roberta Giberson, a Winchester volunteer representing NDCF and Donna Quesnel, DCFB administrator.
