Remembrance Day is about honouring our fallen, our veterans and Canadians who serve in uniform today.
It’s also a time worth thinking about the Cold War; the war that never happened.
To the people who lived through the very real threat of nuclear war, explaining what it was like is challenging. Canada’s Cold War Museum – the Diefenbunker, in Carp – is a great place to start, with its warrens of hallways deep below ground. But what does it mean to a youngster?
Enter Rex Zero. Perth author Tim Wynne-Jones created the
character for a book that has spawned two se-quels. Rex is now due for a fourth volume: Rex Zero In Deep.
Wynne-Jones spent a few hours of his Remem-brance Day inside the Diefenbunker, in the small room that’s dedicated to the fi ctional boy Rex. He shared the fi rst public reading of a chapter from the next book, due out in 2012.
The event took place in a room the Diefenbunker has dressed up as Rex’s bedroom and school class-room, circa 1960. The permanent display opened last year and since then has been visited by more than 1,000 schoolchildren during tours.
“This is fabulous,” Wynne-Jones joked before his reading. “I’m not even dead and I’m in a mu-seum.”
The bedroom side of the room comes complete with his bed, sci-fi posters and Hardy Boys books. The classroom area is frozen in 1960 too: it has desks, cans of powdered milk, a 16-mm projector, portraits of the Queen and Diefenbaker, as well as a roll-down map.

ReviewWest Carleton
Dog lost to house fi re
DEREK DUNN
One dog was saved but another died while trapped a in a house with smoke billowing from every window last Friday morning.
Firefi ghters from Ottawa and the Town of Arnprior descended on the blaze at 5368 Madawaska Blvd., just inside West Carleton’s border with Arnprior, at about 10:15 a.m.
Located next to McAllister Ford, the brick bungalow is rented by three now-displaced people who weren’t at the scene. However, homeowner Bill McAllister was at work next door when a customer left then ran back into the showroom to say smoke was coming from the house.
That’s when employee Susan Biard ran across the parking lot, opened the back door and a German shepherd raced out.
She climbed down the stairs and heard barking inside, but the door was too hot to touch. Another family pet, locked in a dog crate, died soon after.
“She’s a hero,” McAllister said of Bi-ard, as the anxious shepherd barked in-cessantly in a nearby fi eld.
CAUSE A MYSTERY
No cause has been determined, though fi refi ghters on the scene said it originated in the basement.
Damage to the building is estimated at $100,000; to the contents $50,000.

This is where the Cold War connects with kids.
Instead of trying to imagine adults scur-rying about, worrying about war, visiting children can consider the era as a pre-teen who was right there.
Wynne-Jones grew up in Ottawa’s west end at a time when atomic war was a very real possibility.
He recalled a day when the city’s air raid sirens were tested and he thought his life was about to end at the bottom of a mushroom cloud.
“You knew every detail of annihila-tion,” Wynne-Jones said,
While youngsters who read the Rex Zero books absorb the Cold War atmosphere, Wynne-Jones said they often have ques-tions about day-to-day life as a child in the 1950s and 1960s.
“I talk to kids all over North America about the differences between now and that age,” he said. “They’re interested, but at the level of play, which is how it should be.
“Kids can’t believe the freedom we had. I was out on my bike all day and my par-ents never knew where I was.”
He said today’s kids can’t imagine a
world without video games.“They’ll ask, ‘Weren’t you bored?’ and I
was sometimes,” Wynne-Jones said. “But where do you think imagination comes from?”
He said he also gets letters from adult fans.
“They want to share stories that are like something in the (Rex Zero) books,” he said.
NEXT REX
Wynne-Jones carried a thick dossier with him to the Diefenbunker, the words Top Secret written on the front. Inside
‘You knew every detail of annihilation:’ Wynne-Jones was a loose-leaf manuscript of Rex Zero In Deep.
Fans of Rex can now know that the protagonist will visit the United States while on vaca-tion with his family in the fourth book, which is based in 1964.
Diefenbunker manager of visi-tor services Amy Turner said children who are part of school groups and parties invariably visit the Rex Zero room.
“It’s a nice alternative for fami-lies on the weekends,” she said, adding Rex Zero connects with children in ways static displays can’t. “It’s a much more personal experience.”
Admission to the Rex Zero room is included with all Diefenbunker visits. See diefenbunker.ca or call 613-839-0007 for information.

First on the scene, Arnprior fi refi ghters had it under control by 11:15 a.m., stopping fl ames from licking up to the ground fl oor.
Ottawa fi refi ghters took over moments later.
Forty fi refi ghters and 14 vehi-cles participated.
McAllister appeared less con-cerned with the cause than with the safety of everyone involved.
GLAD NO ONE HURT
“Just glad nobody’s hurt. At least nobody’s hurt,” he said.
“It was a marvelous house.”McAllister is also angry about
the situation, saying because he is just outside Arnprior town limits, he mistakenly said was forced to wait for City of Ottawa fi re crews. Arnprior fi refi ghters are three kilometres away.
“I’m very upset. I do everything for Arnprior. We should be part of Arnprior,” McAllister said.
“The Arnprior guys are great. I just wish I was part of Arnpri-or.”
Arnprior Fire Chief John Okum said it is natural for vic-tims to believe fi refi ghters are taking a long time to arrive when they are watching their home go up in fl ames.
Emotions can wreak havoc with reason. But when Ottawa’s 911 was alerted, an automatic call would have been placed to Arn-prior within seconds.
“There would have been no lag. Our response time was fairly quick,” Okum said.
“It’s devastating to people. It does seem like a long time to them.”
The basement was completely gutted by the fi re and there is heavy smoke damage throughout the residence.
Plane crash-lands in riverDEREK DUNN
Firefi ghters from Fitzroy Harbour re-sponded to a plane crash in the Ottawa River last Saturday afternoon.
Ottawa fi re spokesman Marc Messier said at least a dozen fi refi ghters from the water rescue section helped secure the ul-tralight plane that crash-landed about 200 yards off Breckenridge, Que., across from Dunrobin.
The pilot, alone on the pontoon-equi-ped ultralight, escaped with facial lacera-tions.
Messier said while he was in the wa-ter, two fi shermen in a boat raced over to scoop the pilot out and bring him to shore. The pilot’s wife phoned later to say he was OK.
Fitzroy fi refi ghters played a secondary role in the incident.
“Our boats went out to make sure no spills would contaminate the river,” Mess-ier said. They also held the plane in place and marked it with a buoy.
The plane is registered to Jean Robert-son of Luskville.
As of Wednesday, Transport Canada was continuing to investigate the cause.

CyberKnife a reality for cancer sufferersDEREK DUNN
A technology revolutionizing can-cer treatment in Eastern Ontario was explained in detail during an Arnprior Rotary Club meeting Monday at Car-leton Reid Hall on Harrington Street.
CyberKnife is the world’s only ro-botic radio-surgery system, meaning it performs radiation therapy with preci-sion and effectiveness of surgery, but with few of the side effects.
The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre is one of three providers in Canada, radiation oncologist Dr. Shawn Malone told the crowd of about 35. Patients be-gan benefi ting from the technology in September.
“There have been dramatic improve-ments over the last two decades in ra-diation therapy,” Malone said. “We are getting referrals for CyberKnife from across Canada. There’s going to be a big demand for this.”
Cyberknife uses a robotic arm with a laser to pinpoint tumors, timing its movement to the body’s natural move-ments to avoid harming surrounding tissue. It is especially effective against brain, lung, prostate, spinal, liver, pan-creatic and kidney cancers.
It works on many more cancers than traditional radiation therapy, which is used only on brain cancer patients.
Unlike traditional radiation therapy, a patient doesn’t have their head fro-zen and experience the pain of a metal frame bolted to their head. They don’t
spend hours enduring the procedure. They don’t take months to recover. They don’t repeat the process nearly as many times.
And the success rate, at least as it ap-plies to lung cancer, is the same at 80 to 90 per cent.
With CyberKnife, patients are fi tted with a custom mask before experienc-ing the out-patient treatment for 30- to 90-minutes. The hospital’s team spends much less time in the preparation and planning stages.
Dr. Malone said patients with two or three tumours can have them treated at the same time. The recovery time is of-
ten just one week.CyberKnife cuts down the number
of treatments from 25 to 40 sessions, to between one and fi ve.
“We are now the most equipped can-cer centre in Canada,” Malone declared to much applause.
Still at the research stage, Cy-berknife was costly to bring here and requires signifi cant ongoing funding to cover studies. But as director of cancer fundraising Sharon Cardiff explained, Eastern Ontario patients are enjoying priority and the research will benefi t all Canadians. The wait list is only two to three weeks.
“We wouldn’t have CyberKnife if it wasn’t for this community,” Cardiff said. “We no longer have to go to the U.S. for treatment. It may very well be we have to go back to the community for a second CyberKnife.”
Arnprior Rotary president Dave Palmer said with one in three Canadi-ans expected to develop cancer, donat-ing to the technology may benefi t the donor directly.
“All of us are affected by cancer,” Palmer said. “This is a huge and won-derful advancement in cancer treat-ment. Please consider this as some-thing you or someone you know may need some day.”
The Ottawa Hospital Foundation is still short $550,000 in its latest effort, which wraps up in December. Anyone interested in a tour of the new Cy-berKnife facility on Nov. 30 is asked to call Cardiff at 613-761-4295.

Shean Donovan leaves AHL clubA Syracuse newspaper reports Shean
Donovan has ended his tryout with the city’s AHL franchise, the Crunch.
The Post-Standard says Donovan is back home – near Carp – with his wife and three young children, after leaving Syracuse last Thursday.
“I just decided for myself and fam-ily, I was going to come home and move
on,” Donovan told the Post-Standard. “I didn’t want to waste anybody’s time. I guess everybody is going to have to re-tire.”
Donovan played junior with the Ot-tawa 67’s before playing in the NHL. He played with the Ottawa Senators from 2007 to 2010. When the NHL season started, Donovan was without a con-
tract, and he stayed in shape by practis-ing with the Jr. A Carleton Place Cana-dians of the Central Hockey League.
Anaheim then offered him a tryout with their farm team in Syracuse.
He told the Syracuse paper that he enjoyed being with the Crunch players but was distracted by his desire to be home.

Five hecatre swap for Beaver Pond land offered
BLAIR EDWARDS
A developer has offered to swap land with the city to protect fi ve hectares of environmentally sensitive land near the Beaver Pond
KNL, a partnership between Richcraft and Urbandale, is of-fering to take an equal amount of land in the South March Highlands further west of the Bea-ver Pond, said Wilkin-son.
Wilkinson will ask council to OK the land swap on Nov. 22 and send a recommendation to the newly-elected council on how to buy the other 24 hectares.
“The (fi ve hectares) is nothing new – it’s been talked about and talked about,” said Wilkinson. “To get the remaining (24 hectares) of the land I’m still working on some possibili-ties.”
The trick is to buy the land without in-
creasing taxes, said Wilkinson.“A lot of (the newly elected councillors)
were elected on not adding to the taxes,” she said. “I’m working on something that will have other ways of paying off the money.”
The city could take out a debenture or borrow money from itself to pay the pur-
chase price of the land.The city estimates the
land is worth between $15 million to $20 mil-lion.
Mary Jarvis, the direc-tor of planning and land development for Urban-dale Corp. said the land swap answers the com-munity’s desire for an ac-cess to Trillium Woods.
“We think that this is a nice compromise,” said Jarvis.
KNL isn’t interested in selling the rest of the land to the city, she said.
“We don’t want to sell the land,” she said.
“We’ve held the land for development. The land is zoned for development.”
I’m working on something that will have other ways of paying off the money.

Schools tackle bullying problemBLAIR EDWARDS
The Western Ottawa Community Re-source Centre is working with schools in Kanata to tackle the problem of bul-lying.
Many schools collect surveys from students to develop an anti-bullying plan, as mandated by the Ontario Safe School Act.
Angela Lorusso Stewart, a children’s community developer at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre works with schools, parents, children and community members to identify and combat bullying issues in schools.
The participating schools – from the French and English public and Catholic school boards – will offer anti-bullying activities, such as signing an anti-bul-lying pledge – created by the resource centre.
The issue is timely as this week is Bully Free Week, an international event observed from Nov. 15 to 19.
“Bullying exists everywhere and anywhere,” said Lorusso Stewart.
The resource centre is offering teach-er training and assistance to develop a bully prevention plan for schools as well as anti-bullying workshops for parents and children.
The centre is asking children and adults at participating schools to wear
pink or red on Nov. 19 to show their op-position to bullying.
Lorusso Stewart said the three key elements of bullying are:
• An act repeated over time• The intent is to hurt someone emo-
tionally, physically or verbally.• The bully has power over a group or
individual (peer status, size, age).“Very often they have an over-infl at-
ed sense of self,” said Lorusso Stewart, adding that the theory bullies suffer from a low sense of self esteem has been debunked.
Bullying is a learned behaviour ex-hibited a young age, she said, which es-
calates over time – for instance a young child stealing a toy or hitting another child.
Children as young as three can en-gage in bullying behaviour, she said.
“Very often kids think if they ignore it will stop,” said Lorusso Stewart.
But it typically only becomes worse over time, she said.
Bullying has kept in step with tech-nology, said Lorusso Stewart.
“Cyber bullying is huge,” she said.The modern bully creates hate web
pages, writes nasty messages on Face-book walls and sends abusive text mes-sages, said Lorusso Stewart.
The resource centre is encouraging victims of bullying to tell their parents and teachers.
“When someone’s being hurt that’s not ratting,” said Lorusso Stewart. “That’s about keeping someone safe.”
If left unchecked, bullying can follow a child from grade to grade, she said.
Lorusso Stewart said parents should document incidents of bullying and re-port them to the school’s principal.
If their behaviour isn’t stopped, bul-lies can exhibit the same type of behav-iour as adults, possibly resulting in in-cidents of workplace and elder abuse, said Lorusso Stewart.
The solution is simple, she added.“Tell someone and keep on telling,”
she said.
When someone’s being hurt that’s not ratting.

There was an interesting page in the Citizen recently, in which a number of religious leaders commented on the 18 years in which we have had Sunday shop-ping in the city. Was it bad? Was it OK? Did the sky fall?
Understandably, those for whom Sun-day was not a day of worship have had an easier time with Sunday shopping. Sev-eral made the point that the old Sunday closing laws had become less relevant in a society in which many non-Christian religions are now represented. Only the Roman Catholic priest was concerned about the effect of removing the Sunday closing laws:
“For many,” he wrote, “Saturday and Sunday have become almost indistin-guishable and so the idea of the latter being the day for going to church and spending time together as a family has been greatly diminished.”
Good point, although there may be an even scarier thought, which is that fami-lies are indeed spending time together, but they are doing it by shopping.
This leads to a point so obvious yet so ominous that no religious leader wants to state it: Shopping has become a reli-
gion.That is not apparent at fi rst. There
are no smells of incense in the shopping centre, only the sickly aroma of scented candles wafting over the populace. There are no songs of praise, except at Christ-mas time — and actually, come to think of it, White Christmas isn’t a hymn, is it?
No one is kneeling. No one seems to be praying, although something like that may be happening at the lottery counter. And in some of the department stores there can be detected a prayerful longing for a cashier station that is actually open, and in some big hardware stores parish-ioners search for any wise man who can explain about snowblowers.
There is more eating than in your
normal place of worship and more talk-ing on the telephone. But there is also a sense of seeking salvation in a bargain, which you see in its most extreme form in the Boxing Day sales.
This, of course, is exactly what the opponents of Sunday shopping were worried about. Not that people wouldn’t go to church, but that even church-goers wouldn’t be invulnerable to seven-day consumerism once church let out.
That was one of the good arguments against Sunday shopping. At least, when the stores were closed, people would have to fi nd something to do without using their money. And that might be good. It might just mean watching more TV, but it could also mean reading a book or going for a walk or talking to a parent or throwing a ball or going to a museum.
Ottawans being a bit slow to react — when is that voter rage thing going to hit us, by the way? — Sunday shop-ping took a while to catch on. In the early years, you could fi nd merchants in shopping centres who were annoyed at being forced to stay open when there no customers. Some storekeepers gave it up and closed their doors anyway. Oth-
ers, fi ghting the trend refused to open (I always had a soft spot for independent merchants like Bleeker Stereo because of that).
But gradually, the patterns shifted, until we arrived at where we are now, with the shopping centres bustling and Sunday being Saturday. Some of that bustling is done by people who don’t have time to shop during the week, and more power to them.
It’s worth mentioning that some of the people who are not in the shopping cen-tres are at home sitting in front of their television sets worshipping the National Football League.

Eighteen years of an extra Saturday
The Ottawa-Carleton Dis-trict School Board has an-nounced plans to conduct a survey for all its students to help make better deci-sions about the programs offered.
The board says this survey is a way to better understand students.
In addition to addressing mandated requirements with respect to school climate and aboriginal self-identifi cation surveys, this survey will provide data that will be useful in developing future board and school improvement plans.
They say they want to understand the unique and diverse characteristics of the students and this in turn will allow the board to provide better instruction, programs and services to meet the needs of the diverse groups of students
in the board.A student’s sexual ori-
entation or family make-up should not determine success or failure or board programming.
What should, are the ways in which that child is nurtured from the moment of birth. Children need love, support and strength, not only from their parents, but from their siblings, their extended family and their friends.
In a perfect world, children should be loved, welcomed and treasured.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case, but as out-siders, do we have a right to look inside?
Yes, if a child shows bruises or other signs of abuse, it is our responsibil-ity.
We all know that today’s majority of families are blended; that many don’t
have exorbitant amounts of funds, so what will this survey accomplish?
Programs to help educate parents and guardians on the benefi ts of successful parenting, nutrition and healthy active lifestyles could be money more wisely spent.
This survey, some say, is way too personal.
The board says that principals and school staff are very connected to their school communities. How-ever, there is a difference between what they know informally or anecdotally and what they know based on data.
“When we are data in-formed, we can make deci-sions based on needs rather than perceived needs,” says the board.
Time will tell…the sur-vey is available Nov. 22 to Dec. 10.

N REVIEW

My great-grandfather, Dr. Jan Ruszkowski was an eye surgeon and professor of medicine.
In his day, the only way to realistically simulate surgery was with dead bodies. This provided him with the basis for a strong education, and a way to test a future physician’s nerves.
His favourite trick with new students was to simulate inserting his fi nger into a body’s eye socket, then wait for somebody in his class to get faint and, occasionally, pass out.
Thankfully, medical education has evolved since then. Last month, Dr. Jack Kitts, CEO of The Ottawa Hospital, Allan Rock, President of the University of Ottawa and Dr. Verin Naik, Medical Director of the University of Ottawa Skills and Simulation Centre (uOSSC, www.uossc.ca) opened a simulation centre at the Civic Campus of The Ottawa Hospital.
The 20,000 square foot facility includes two operating rooms, an emergency room/trauma
area, an intensive care area and two large spaces where University of Ottawa medical students receive hands-on, realistic training with no risk to themselves or to patients.
Drawing from fl ight simulation techniques, students use virtual reality technology; full-body mannequins with voices, lung capacity, beating hearts and pulses; and life-size replicas of individual body parts to practice leading edge medical procedures.
As a result, the quality and safety of patient care they will one day provide is increased.
Practice, however, does not always make perfect. The real challenge in hospital care is not to conduct one procedure with perfection, but to replicate the perfect procedure, every time.
That is why, in addition to using current simulation tools, the centre will test new approaches and adopt them immediately when there is evidence of their effectiveness.
That is a recipe for continuous progress in medical education, quality, and patient safety.
While this progress takes the edge off of my great-grandfather’s teaching techniques, it puts a great deal more comfort into our patients’ experience.
The next time you see a young resident in their scrubs, you can trust you are in good hands.

Choir to Sing Noel Dec. 12The Arnprior Community
Choir will introduce some special guest performers when it holds its annual Christmas Concert on Sunday, Dec. 12.
Four Strong Winds, an inspir-ing vocal quartet from St. Joseph High School in Renfrew, will per-form at the 2 p.m. concert in Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church.

City council swearing-in set for Dec. 1
STAFF
The swearing-in of Ottawa’s new city council will take place away from city hall in an effort to show that Ot-tawa does not just revolve around the
giant building on Laurier Street West.The Dec. 1 event will be located at
the newly constructed Shenkman Arts Centre, 245 Centrum Blvd., Orleans, at 7 p.m.
In a note to councillors and coun-cillors-elect, mayor-elect Jim Watson said that the location was chosen to emphasize that city business does not always revolve around city hall.
“We recognize and value the many
distinct communities that make up Ot-tawa,” Watson said.
The arts centre also has more seat-ing, which will allow council members to invite more guests (each council member will receive 12 invitations to share with family and friends).
In another twist, the event will be sponsored by Tim Hortons. Watson said the move is meant to cut down on costs to the city to “refl ect the times.”
Controversy percolates over Tim Hortons’ role

Foodgrains improvements airing in Fitzroy
All are invited to hear Alden Braul, Canadian Foodgrains Bank capacity development manager, speak at the an-nual fall information meetings which are taking place across the province in
the last week of November. The local stop is Nov. 22 at 7 p.m.
at St. George’s Anglican Church, 192 Shirreff St., in Fitzroy Harbour.
Braul will explain how Foodgrains Bank is strengthening the effective-ness of food security projects, and ultimately ending hunger for more people.
“Ending hunger means working smartly by focusing on programs which make a difference in the lives of people who don’t have enough food to
eat,” says Braul.There are often a range of interven-
tions that can be used when working with food insecure people.
Braul notes that, “choosing the best intervention makes better use of the resources and helps end hunger for more people.”
Whether you are familiar with Ca-nadian Foodgrains Bank or are curi-ous about what the organization does, come and learn about the vision of a world without hunger.

West Carleton/March Council Notes
I was for-tunate dur-ing the re-cent election campaign to benefi t from the enthusi-asm of some local youth wanting to learn about
the election process and add to their volunteer hours at the same time.
While discussing the require-ments, I learned that there are some students who fi nd it a challenge to fi nd local opportu-nities to complete the necessary 40 hours prior to graduation. I provided them with informa-tion on a City of Ottawa initia-
tive called REACH: Recreation Empower-
ing Active Community Helpers.The community-based pro-
gram that will empower stu-dents to work with the City of Ottawa’s Youth Connexion pro-gram in serving their 40 hours of community service while providing opportunities for per-sonal growth.

Minor hockey volunteers fi ll up on nutrition, injury preventionWCMHA
West Carleton Minor Hockey hosted two speak-ers on Nov. 9, part of the group’s quest to bring education and training to their volunteers.
The association has been applying for coaching grants on an ongoing basis; recently one of their applications was successful through the Coaching Association of Canada and Investors Group.
The two speakers emphasized sports nutrition and injury prevention.
PEAK Centre owner Kevin Wilson discussed in-jury prevention, warm-ups and stretching, equip-ment, as well as recognizing injury and concus-sion.
Wilson has spent more than 13 years working with elite and professional athletes, including players in the NHL, NCAA, Canadian national teams and the CPGA.
SUPER VOLUNTEER RECOGNIZED
Claire McCaughan was awarded the Investors Group Volunteer Sports Administrator Award for her contribution to minor hockey for the past eight years.
McCaughan is an incredibly organized and dedi-cated hockey mom. She was part of the group of volunteers that brought the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven organization to District 4, allowing 3,500 players across seven minor hockey associations to participate in Tier 2 hockey. She currently volun-teers with the Ottawa Valley Titans, and has for many years.
McCaughan has spent many years in her grass-roots association: Stittsville Minor Hockey. Her re-sume includes registrar for several associations, including the Ottawa Valley Titans, Ottawa Valley Silver Seven and Stittsville Rams.

A community you know. Naturally.
Garden club heads for the mountains
NEVIL HUNT
Bad soil, poor drainage and rocks don’t usually make for happy gardening.
But Judy Wall has taken lem-ons and made lemonade, and spent an hour last week encour-aging other gardeners to consid-er growing hardy alpine plants in their yards.
“My garden is in a drought zone, with open fi elds all around,” Wall told more than 25 West Car-leton Garden Club members at a Nov. 9 meeting at the Carp Memo-rial Hall. “The soil is very rocky and sandy.”
Wall’s property is west of Car-leton Place, and she runs a busi-ness there: Rock Wall Gardens. She displayed her impressive rock gardens in a slide show for the West Carleton audience.
Wall said she likes to grow plants that thrive in tough con-ditions and that can take the “abuse” of being walked on. Co-lourful fl owers are a bonus, but she’s also happy with fl owers that simply offer greenery from spring to fall.
Alpine plants seem especially suited to eastern Ontario’s cli-mate, as they survive our winters and return to life each spring,
sometimes blooming as early as May.
“They come back every year,” she said of her favourite plants, which include fl owers, grasses and a number of varieties of cactus, some with bright fl owers. “I tell people that in the spring you’re going to think (the cactus) is dead, but don’t touch it!”
One of Wall’s key rock garden strategies is to place stones so that she can step from stone to stone without treading on the dirt. That means the soil isn’t compacted by her weight which allows rainfall to easily reach the roots.
STONE DUST
Many of the colourful fl owers Wall displayed can grow in mate-rials that may usually be associ-ated only with weeds. Androsace salicfolis, for example, serves up a mass of miniature white fl owers even as it grows in stone dust.
The plants known as Hens and Chicks grows happily in crevices in the rocks in Wall’s garden. She said the plants require little soil, “and are as happy as can be.”
For gardeners dealing with erosion, especially on slopes, Wall suggests a simple and hardy
antidote of thyme.“It can take all kinds of walk-
ing on,” she said, adding that thyme also binds the soil to stop water carrying it away.
Wall’s plants sometimes get out of the garden, with her sur-plus succulents becoming gifts for friends or providing table centrepieces. She said small succulents can be placed in a container atop moist sphag-num moss, where they’ll last for weeks.
The West Carleton Garden Club was formed in 1989 and is one of more than 285 societies in Ontario that are part of the Ontario Horticultural Associa-tion. Members meet at the Carp Memorial Hall, 3739 Carp Rd., on the second Tuesday of each month, at 7:30 p.m.
The next meeting is the club’s Christmas pot-luck on Dec. 14, beginning earlier than usual, at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome to at-tend with a pot-luck meal.
Alpine plants a good match for local conditions: expertAt right, one of Judy Wall’s rock gardens proves that alpine green-ery and blooms fare well in tough conditions. They also take Cana-dian winters and rebound in the spring.

Welcoming a Suffolk to our herdDIANA FISHER
The Accidental Farmwife
In the process of putting the fl ower-beds to bed for the winter, I decided to rip out some of the overgrowth of Vir-ginia creeper from the stone fence.
The long, curling vine lay in a heap in the middle of the yard and I stared at it, wondering if I could channel the spirit of Martha Stewart long enough to transform the vine into a crafty Christmas wreath for our farmhouse door.
I told the Farmer not to drag it off to the burn barrel: I was going to make something out of it. He looked at me as if I said I was going to give birth to triplets.
“What. I can make stuff. Just you wait.”
I did try to wind it into a wreath but I couldn’t get the tangle to form a cir-cle shape. I decided the wreath makers had secret tools and implements that I did not possess.
Then I went shopping at Old Porch Primitives in Oxford Mills. Every time I go into that store, I see something that makes me cry. Simple little wood-en signs declaring: All Because Two People Fell in Love, or Could I Have This Dance, For the Rest of My Life? Honestly. I am such a mush.
Debbie had hung a simple strand of grapevine between the rafters, wound lights around it and dangled metal stars from its curves. I bought a spray of stars and went home, armed with inspiration.
I now have a homemade swag of
vine, fairy lights, metal stars and or-namental sheep on my sun porch. And if you haven’t gathered from the last three paragraphs, I’m darned proud of it.
On the livestock side of things, the Farmer has decided he is tired of Dor-set sheep. They grow great big pompa-dours of fl eece, and their young often have diffi culty fi nding the teats in all that wool.
I personally fi nd them very cute, but I guess that doesn’t count for much when you have to shear them. My hus-band decided to sell Rambi, the Dorset ram, and to buy a black-faced Suffolk to bring about change in our herd.
On the way to Maurice and Joyce Seguin’s farm Sunday morning, the Farmer cleared his throat.
“Can I just ask that you do not give this ram a stupid name, like Rambo or Rambi?”
Stupid? “What would you like me to call him?”
“Well, I call all my rams Johnny.” I told the Farmer that I thought that
was ridiculous and not very original. Each ram should have its own name.
“OK,” I said, “What should we call him, then? Steve?” I joked.
So now we have a 10-month-old Suf-folk named Steve.
The ram was obviously raised with love and trust, by Grama Joyce. Her tame goats and lambs gathered around, nibbling on our jackets and fi ngers as we put a collar and lead on our new ram.
Steve allowed himself to be led up the ramp into the back of the truck.
On the way home, he commented on every pothole and bend in the road.
“It’s OK, Steve. Almost home,” I said.
Back at the farm, we helped Steve hop off the back of the truck and into the lambing pen, where Rambo and Rambi were already happily en-sconced in their catered hotel.
The two older sheep crowded to the corner of the pen and craned their necks to see the newcomer as he was released into his quarters. They lift-ed their snouts skyward to catch his strange scent.
The Farmer tied a bell onto Steve, thinking it would keep us from taken by surprise.
“Don’t get yourself into a corner with this one,” he warned.
I looked at Steve. He approached and put his soft muzzle into the palm of my hand.
“He doesn’t like his bell,” I said. I might have to help that jingling thing to go missing without a trace at some point.
I can’t wait to see the black-faced ba-bies we will have in April.
Farm community service note: If any-one is interested in adopting two little male pot-bellied pigs, let me know at Dianafi [email protected] and
I can hook you up with their owner. They need to be in a winterized shelter.

St. Michael students remember the fallen
NEVIL HUNT
Students at St. Michael School marked Remembrance Day on Nov. 11 with singing, silence and handmade memorials.
The school also welcomed two current members of the Canadian Armed Forces in their uniforms. Both are fathers of children at St. Michael.
Master Cpl. Ben Jardine thanked the students for their at-tention to videos, speeches and prayers during the ceremony. Warrant Offi cer Wayne Flieler also attended the ceremony, as did many parents and students’ preschool siblings.
One parent of a student is cur-rently serving in Afghanistan. Principal Linda Gilmour read his letter to the students, thanking them for paper poppies the chil-dren made and sent to Khanda-har. The soldier said the poppies are now on the wall of the Tim Hortons at Kandahar Airfi eld and that members of the Forces have stopped at the display to read the messages written on the poppies.
Grade 2 and 3 students sang O Canada before a minute of si-lence was observed. Many audi-ence members later joined the students in reciting the Canadian Oath of Citizenship. A proces-sion of class representatives, each carrying handmade memo-rials, attached the paper wreaths and banners to one wall of the school’s gymnasium.

For maples, keys are key to success
We are fortunate in living in a region with such a remarkable diversity of plants and animals.
Trees are particularly well represented; locally, conifers such as black spruce and balsam fi r from the cool boreal forest mingle with southern deciduous trees, such as white oak and bit-ternut hickory.
In the deciduous (hardwood) tree category, we are particular-ly rich in maples, with no fewer than seven species gracing local woods. Black, mountain, red, sil-ver, striped, and sugar maples were all here when the early set-tlers fi rst swung their axes.
The seventh species, Manitoba maple, has a somewhat different history. Not here originally, these western and south-central trees became popular as ornamental plantings and for windbreaks.
They are now well established and are particularly adept at colonizing old fi elds that have been let return to a wild state. Manitoba maples are not strong-trunked trees and as they grow develop a rather untidy, sprawl-ing appearance.
They also differ from most maples in having trees bearing
fl owers of one sex only. That means that some trees are female and, understandably, only these produce seeds.
Maple keys are inge-nious inventions.
They are actually fruit known as “sama-ras.” One large seed is carried at the end of each of the two fl at-tened wings that upon separation serve to carry the seeds away from the mother tree.
The wings cause the structures to spiral as they de-scend, keeping the seeds in the air for a longer period of time, thereby enabling the wind to lengthen their journeys.
Manitoba maple trees start producing seeds when they are between eight and 11 years of age. This is half the time taken by sugar maples to reach matu-rity!
SEEDY YEAR
Manitoba maples are particu-larly well endowed with seeds this year.
This is good news for gray squirrels – which come in black as well as gray – which enjoy the fat-rich seeds now and also later in the winter.
It is also good news for eve-ning grosbeaks, a western bird
that came east after Manitoba maples were planted as windbreaks across the prairies. They are so fond of ma-ple keys that early Ca-nadian ornithologist P. A. Taverner referred to the planted trees as a “baited highway”!
Evening grosbeaks were fi rst recorded in Ontario in 1823 and in Quebec in 1890. They became particularly common here during the late 1960s.
This appears to be due to major outbreaks of spruce budworm, one of the grosbeaks’ favourite summer foods. In recent years evening grosbeaks have declined dramatically, quite possibly as a result of no recent budworm cat-erpillar outbreaks.
Reports have been coming in of fl ocks of these noisy yellow and black birds feeding on Mani-toba maple keys. They use their massive yellow bills to crush not only the seeds of maples but also the tough pits of cherries, another favourite food.
If you are fortunate to have your feeders visited by evening grosbeaks, be sure to have plen-ty of sunfl ower seeds on hand.
These colourful birds also go by the nickname “greedies”!

No more plastic, say shoppersDANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN
Two Ottawa women are the driving force behind a petition sent to the Ontario Tender Fruit Board and Lo-blaw Companies Ltd. over what they feel is wasteful new packaging for fruits such as peaches, plums, and pears.
Melissa MacLean and her sister-in-law Colette Stoe-ber decided to voice their concerns about a month ago when they noticed how some of the province’s fruits were being wrapped.
MacLean said, that over the summer months, local fruits started to be covered using a one-time-use clam-shell container, which is not recyclable in Ottawa.
“We were quite sad to see this for local fruit,” she said. “Now you’re faced with the situation where, do you buy local or do you
think of the environmental impact of your purchase? It seemed kind of crazy.”
MacLean is hoping to see more of the traditional cardboard baskets.
While MacLean recogniz-es this type of packaging is commonplace for items like baked goods, she not sure why there was an appetite for change in the produce section.
“Then when it comes to something like local fruit it just seems so egregious and unnecessary,” she said.
“If you have a lot of money, you can do all your shopping at the organic farmer’s market. But most of us with families have to go to the grocery store and do the best we can with a grocery budget. We really need the producers and the retailers to do their bit.”
That’s exactly what Adri-an Huisman, manager of the Ontario Tender Fruit
Board, feels is being done.Huisman confi rmed that
the board did receive the petition, but doesn’t see the issue as a problem.
RETAILER DEMAND
Huisman added that the board decided to come up with the packaging be-cause of retailer demand – namely Loblaw – because of costumers hand-picking their food and placing them in different baskets.
“They were concerned about the losses they expe-rience in their stores,” he said.
Huisman said 12 million bins have been sold across the province and only 39 comments have been fi led, with about half being posi-
tive because customers enjoy the fruits being pre-served well.
“Our sales actually went up,” he said. “They didn’t go down because of the plastic.”
The bins have a lid, which Huisman said keeps the food fresh and allows people to see the product.
As long as the retailer continues to demand the claim-shell product, that’s that they get.
If people don’t like the new containers, Huisman recommended that they pick out individual fruit by the pound and put them in plastic bags.
“Anybody that’s deadly opposed to plastic, we sug-gest you don’t buy,” he said.

UFO sighting in CorkeryOTTAWA POLICE SERVICE
The following is the weekly activity re-port for Nov. 5 to 11.
There was a UFO sighting in West Car-leton. Or perhaps it was just the bright lights of Hollywood North?
Shortly before 6 p.m. on Nov. 10, a 911 caller reported seeing a UFO take up a hovering position somewhere between March and Vaughn Side roads.
The object was hovering at an approxi-mate altitude of 3,000 metres and a very bright cone of light descended from the object to the surface of the Earth.
Certain that the UFO wasn’t an airplane, the complainant advised the 911 operator that the UFO briefl y dropped down to the surface before returning to its previous hovering station. Air traffi c controllers in Ottawa claimed they weren’t tracking UFOs or airplanes on radar over the West Carleton area during that time period.
Police reports concluded the UFO was the result of a fi lm crew using a crane-op-erated light in and around the Hollywood district of Ashton Village.
HIGH AS A KITE
Shortly before 3 p.m. on Nov. 8, a moth-er called police for assistance after her 19-year-old son returned home fl ying high on marijuana and refused to leave. At the re-quest of the mother the teen was escorted out of the area and warned not to return to the home without permission.
DEER COLLISION COUNT FALLS
But is this the calm before the deer
storm? Autumn is the rutting season for deer and that means they will be fl ying on hormones.
This week, West Carleton drivers re-ported only two deer-related collisions while Rideau-Goulbourn reported three accidents.
The total score for the past three weeks now stands at 14 to 12 in favor of Rideau-Goulbourn with West Carleton slowly closing the gap.
As we entered the heady days of au-tumn, please take extra care when driv-ing along the rural roads of Ottawa and keep in mind that the deer have temporar-ily lost their minds.
If you see an animal on the road, honk your horn a few times and use four-way fl ashers and headlights to warn other drivers. And, if a deer leaps in your way, brake hard but never swerve.
BEYOND THE STOP SIGN
What lays beyond the stop sign: an-other vehicle, a cyclist or perhaps the end of the road? Failing to notice a stop sign early on and not stopping on time can be a heart-wrenching, not to mention, costly experience.
While travelling northbound along Grant’s Side Road on Nov. 9, at around 7 p.m., a driver failed to notice the stop sign at the intersection of John Shaw Road until the very last second. Slamming on his brakes the pickup truck failed to gain traction on the gravel surface and slid straight through the intersection.

The fi rst incident took place on Oct. 30 at around 11 a.m., while the second occurred on Nov. 7 at 5 p.m. In both incidents, a silver four-door Acu-ra was observed driving up the com-plainant long driveway and coming to a stop near the house.

TEEN REMEMBEREDTwo of Daron Richardson’s past teammates, Alison Greene, left, and Brigite Baker, hold up a sign in front of a Scotiabank Place entrance yesterday to remember their friend. Daron, 14, died on Saturday after complications from a suicide attempt the previ-ous day. A ceremony was held at Scotiabank Place to celebrate Daron’s life and draw attention to teen sui-cides, which account for 17 per cent of deaths among youths in Canada – the second highest cause of death behind accidents. Ottawa Senators players returned from a road trip to attend the ceremony and support the Richardson family, including Daron’s father, Sens assistant coach Luc Richardson.
Benefi t dance Saturday A free benefi t dance will be held for the Dean
family of Galetta at the Carp Agricultural Hall, on Saturday, Nov. 20, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Mu-sic will be performed by Local Traffi c and Mike Ryan.
There will be live and silent auction items, and all proceeds will go to help the family get life back to normal after the loss of their silo and diary barn last month.
