Art draws together an unlikely pair

Derek [email protected]

EMC news - Overcom-ing their fears for the sake of a car brought together two very different people in West Carleton last week.

Alexis Patrascu is a Grade 5 student at Venta Preparatory School near Carp. She is new to the school, to the city even. She is a good student, but is much more comfortable with math, the hard sci-ences, and generally with defi nite answers to specifi c questions. That way she can obtain clear marks and accurately gauge her pro-gression.

Art is not her thing. Andrew Thompson is an

unassuming chap closer to middle age than second-ary schooling. He appears a regular person with no standout qualities except for two: his thick British accent, and his penchant for driving really, really fast.

Thompson grew up in Brockville watching the race cars spin around the quarter-mile dirt track.

See RACE CAR, Page 5

DEREK DUNN/METROLANDAndrew Thompson shrugged off years of if-only to climb into a race car for the fi rst time two years ago. Alexis Patrascus never been comfortable doing art. But when the chance came up to decorate a race car, she, too, mustard her courage.

Barn dance kicks off 150th Carp Fair anniversarySherry [email protected]

EMC news It was a toe-tapping good time had by all.

After the Carp Fair 150th anniversary barn dance committee was through with it, the show barn at the Carp Fairgrounds set the perfect scene for Saturday nights event, held to kick off a special year of anniversary activities.

Barn dance committee chair Bill Wilson,

a past president of the board, said hes been going to the Carp Fair every year since he was a child. While his involvement with the board had slowed down in the past few years, for this years special anniversary he wanted to get back into mix and support the important community event.

He was pleased with attendance and said the barn dance was a fi tting way to mark the occasion.

Were getting the year started off right, said Wilson.

Carp fair board president Matt Munro thanked the dance committee members for their hard work. They did an amazing job.

His counterpart agreed.Its a great way to kick off the 150th,

said Wendy Cox, homecraft president. At-tendance was looking really good, she said, thanks in part to the Ottawa Senators closing their series early so the dance didnt have to compete with a big hockey game.

EMC news - The history of the Carp Fair has been summarized in book form and of cially released for historiophiles to enjoy.

Peg Blair may be the author, but she couldnt have done it without the joint contribution of the Huntley Historical Society and the Carp Fair Board.

Blair is an active writer. Coming from a long line of authors, she continued the tradition of writing for the society. She produces the 100 years column in their monthly newsletter. In 2007, she published Carp Public School Over

the Years 1905 1968.Her newest book Carp Fair History in the

Making was of cially launched at the Carp Li-brary on May 6. About 20 people were on hand, enjoying cake and scanning the many copies on hand.

The 95-page book is factual, reciting con-crete knowledge.

I stayed away from many kind of anecdotal stuff because anecdotal is just that, said Blair. Its somebodys memory. Its coloured through somebodys memory.

A lot of research was put into the compila-tion of historical facts. She scoured old Carp Fair board meetings minutes, dug through old

information and communicated with the his-torical society.

The old minutes with the stick pen was very hard to read, some of them were written in pen-cil, said Blair. It was laborious, but neverthe-less interesting.

Her writing was mostly done during the win-ter months and rainy days during the past three years.

The creation of the book was based off vol-unteer work, with people feeling a connection with the subject.

I personally feel really like that the Carp Fair is a huge part of my life, said Cover designer and local artist Emma Caldwell. My dad and my grandpa and my uncle were all presidents so contributing to this book made me feel closer to that.

Even the publisher Ruth Kirkpatrick has roots in the community. She has been work-ing in partnership with the historical society for several years, printing all but one of their publications.

Im a history nut so its something I enjoy doing, said Kirkpatrick.

She may be used to printing all sorts of things, but the books old photographs struck her.

Im a very visual oriented person and the photographs that Peg got are just amazing, she said. Some of them are de nitely old, but for old photograph there is still a de nite amount of details in them.

A lot of these photographs are in pretty darn good shape all things considered, she added.

Blair had to scour through thousands of photos to nd the perfect ones. Finding such a diverse amount of photographs was very time consuming. Getting the subject names and in-formation also took a lot of digging.

If I could pick on person out (from the pho-

to) and just hammer them until they gured out who the other people were, said Blair. You just sort of have to be a bother.

With 150 years to go through, the book con-tains a complete history of the Carp Fair. A signed copy was given to the library to add to their collection.

Copies of the book can be obtained for $20 by calling the Carp Fair Of ce at 613-839-2172.

Book on Carp Fair ready to read

PATRICIA LEBOEUF/METROLANDTo honour the 150 years of the Carp Fair, a book on its history was commissioned by the Carp Fair Board and the Huntley Historical Society. It was a joint project with, from left) Ruth Kirkpatrick as publisher, Peg Blair as author and Emma Caldwell as cover artist. It was launched on May 6 at the Carp Library.

Author Peg Blair signs the offi cial library copy of the history of the Carp Fair book. Li-brarian Lori Fielding plans to order more.

Continued from frontHe eventually left for

Sudbury and England with his mother, re-turned to the area, and took up regular work at a regular job. But the nagging itch to drive stayed with him.

I go around in cir-cles and get scared, he said, laughingly. I needed to go as fast as possible, and just make sure I could stop when I needed to stop.

Hence two years ago, without any skill or ex-perience in mechani-cal work, Thompson bought a car and began to race at Capital City Speedway. He did all right. Attracted some at-tention. But it was time to transform the car into

a real race car.He needed an artist.Thats when Thomp-

son put word out to area primary and secondary schools, asking for de-signs in exchange for a donation to a charity of

their choosing. Seren-dipity took over from there. Alexis entry was yellow, her mothers and coincidentally Thompsons favourite colour. It was number 5, Thompsons birth day. It had fl ames, which appealed to Thomp-sons alter ego. And the fl ames are some-what abstract, perhaps inaccurate in Alexis eye, but something that captured Thompsons imagination.

It won the design.I was really happy

he picked mine, Alexis said, surrounded by her many new friends on a sunny May 8 at Venta. Im donating it all to CHEO, to all the kids that need it.

Forum to discuss youth issues in Constance BayPatricia [email protected]

EMC news - Worried Constance Bay parents can attend a forum to discuss, discover and deal with youth issues.

The free event will be held on May 26 at the Constance Bay and Buckhams Bay Commu-nity Centre. It begins at 12:30 p.m and a light lunch will be served.

The decision to hold a forum about youth issues came at the heel fentanyl patch issue, where Manotick teenagers where found smok-ing it to get high.

Focusing on helping teens is important for the well being of the community, but it isnt al-ways easy.

They are the adults of tomorrow, said Ru-ral Community Developer Julie McKercher. Its important that we are raising citizens that feel that their needs are being met.

I feel like, and Im a parent myself, its hard to be 100 per cent clued in, she added. But sometimes opportunities come along to learn

something that will be valuable. The forum will help educate parents and pre-

pare them to deal with diffi cult situations.It gives them the ammunition, if you will, to

be present and be aware, said McKercher. She admits that she doesnt know all the an-

swers, but feels that the community does.Im sure they know what they want to see,

she said. Its a matter of taking that community input and doing something with it with partner-ship with other people.

To research some of the trends rural teens exhibit, a rural youth survey was put online un-til mid may. The results will be shared with the parents in attendance. Other issues like mental health and drug prevention will be also covered by experts. The survey was important to get a snapshot to the life of West Carleton teens.

We felt rural kids were not being includ-ed the way they should be, said McKercher. There wasnt the representation that we want-ed to see.

It allows various organizations to get con-crete information on specifi c communities that

can be used to develop tailored programs.The survey is still accepting results and asks

questions on park and recreation programs, health resources and events as well as collect-ing the typical geographical data.

The event is put on by the West Ottawa Com-munity Resource Centre, the Bay Community

Connection, Youth Net and the city of Ottawa.The rural youth survey can be found at www.

surveymonkey.com/s/rural-suburban-youth and participants can win a $50 gift certifi cate. For questions on the event or the survey, please con-tact Julie McKercher at 613.591.3686 x 498 or by email at [email protected].

Performers pay tribute to 150 years of volunteerismMichael Ryan opened the show with a tribute to those

who have made the event possible each year for the past 150.

Endless volunteer hours and sponsor dollars go into the Carp Fair, which is probably the best fair in Canada,

he said. The dedication of all the volunteers is unbeliev-able.

A Ford F-150 pickup truck will be raffl ed off to mark the 150th anniversary and the truck was on display in the barn for the dance. Tickets will be sold from now until the lucky winners ticket is drawn at the close of the fair.

Other anniver-sary happenings include a book published with the help of the Hunt-ley Historical So-ciety and a mural representing the fair that will be painted onto the senior citizen building.

DEREK DUNNValley fi sh tales

Two friends and the fi sh that came between them

EMC lifestyle It must have looked like something out of a black-and-white comedy from the silent movie era.

Three men out on the Ottawa; two none too pleased after what recently transpired. The two are at furthest reaches of the boat. A solid three hours of silence, needless to say, has put a damp-er on things.

Poor Ron Ferguson, the friends guide, is in the fi gura-tive middle getting bombarded with grumbling and dirty looks.

Its a stormy and rainy and miserable day on top of it all. A crappy day last September. The kind of day a fi shing guide earns his keep by fi ghting end-less wind, ferreting out lunkers, and keeping friends from pum-meling one another. Irish Creek Outfi tters owner Ferguson wouldnt have it any other way.

Its kinda funny to see two adult guys that are mad at each other over a fi sh, recalled the Renfrew-area guide. The two lads came out for a good time.

It started early on in the trip when Ferguson was busy keep-ing the boat from bumping up against rocks. Friend 1 nabs a muskie in the 54-55 inch range. It even uncharacteristi-cally jumped out of the water, prompting all on board to do the jittery little dance that always happens when making room to welcome a monster aboard.

They yank him to the side of the boat. Friend 2, with the best of intentions, reaches in with the net to scoop up the fi sh. It isnt a hard job, but he doesnt need to hear that one more time. So he reaches over the side to net the beast.

Thats when it happened. Friend 2 accidently knocks the lure out of the fi shs mouth with the rim of the net. Disbelief de-scends.

The fi sh slides back to its dark netherworld. Picture the look on Friend 1s face and it will re-semble the look on every Leafs fan at the end of every season for the last almost 50 years. The only difference is that Friend 1 missed a better opportunity to win the Cup.

He ended up getting a bet-ter one later in the day, so you could say they made it up, Fer-guson said. But at the time you had to chuckle a little bit.

WEIGHING THE ODDS

Mike Van Denberg of Ren-egade Bass in Ottawa has a bizarre story that took place at

what seems like the site of ev-ery fi shing show on TV: Bay of Quinte.

The radio show host has a ton of stories about guys who catch the tournament winner with just 10 minutes left on the clock, and the like. But this is a story of Mike and a buddy travelling down to Belleville for late-sea-son trophy walleye. You can expect a bit of friendly competi-tion. These are experienced an-glers who are always on.

The fi sh typically weigh in around 10 pounds in Quinte. Anything from 10 to 13 pounds is a decent fi sh. But when the bait fi sh seemed to gain about 14 pounds, Mike and Co. got re-ally excited.

Thats a really monstrous fi sh, I said (to Richard Sykes). It was pushing 15 pounds.

Trolling was cut; the boat brought round to make nice with Mr. Walleye. But the closer they got, the bigger it grew. By the time Mike and Richard hauled it in and weighed it up, they were beyond enamoured.

It was 16.6 pounds, and really nice colours, Mike re-

called. Keep the measurement in mind. 16.6 pounds, exactly. Because after returning to Otta-wa, taking a bit of ribbing from his friend, admiring the monster that was mounted and on promi-nent display, a year would pass before that number would come up again.

In 05 we went back, and I was the lucky one, Mike said. We got another walleye to the side (of the boat) and it weighed in at exactly 16.6 pounds.

Even today Mike doesnt wish he had another ounce on his fi sh, maybe a midmorning snack before taking on his lure. He is okay with what the fi shing gods provide.

I was ecstatic. I thought it was great.

The one difference? Mike didnt mount his fi sh. Hes hold-ing out for the next.

Ill mount one, but it will have to bigger, he said with a laugh.

SHARE YOUR STORY

Do you have a fi sh story sure to entertain readers throughout the Ottawa Valley? It has to be true and it has to be short. But after that its up to you. Give Derek Dunn a call at 613.623.6571 or email [email protected]. Hell jot it down for an upcoming Valley Fish Tales.

Fashion forwardPhyllis Paryas shows off the Cov-ent Garden blazer, white Bamboo Tee and hot pink Audrey Pant during the Kanata Grandmothers Together sixth-annual fundrais-ing fashion show and sale for the Stephen Lewis Foundation on May 1. The outfi ts were created by Judy Joannu Designs, who donated a portion of each sale to the founda-tion. Around 100 people attended the sold-out event at St. Johns An-glican Church in north Kanata.

West Carleton ReviewWest Carleton Review

As much as people would like to have the whole thing over with, its likely that the public controversy over the west-end LRT route will go on and on.

Already, city councils vote on the subject has been delayed by more than a month. Os-tensibly thats to allow for more community consultation. You can bet that more delays are to come.

Rome wasnt paved in a day.So we can talk about it some more. Today,

lets talk about the romanticizing of the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway or the Western Parkway, as it used to be known in less politi-cized times.

To hear the National Capital Commission discuss it, in dismissing any talk of trains on the route, the parkway is one step removed from a wildlife refuge: a sea of green beside the river, the quiet broken only by the sounds of birds singing, the only signs of movement the leisurely pace of walkers and the silent glide of bicyclists. Clearly, in the NCCs view, to put trains there would be to destroy a beauteous ecosystem.

Well, the NCC hasnt been out there when people are heading in to work in the morning and heading home in the afternoon. Then,

instead of a sea of green, it becomes a sea of cars, ripping along at 80 kilometres per hour, often more, except when they are jammed up into long, motionless, exhaust-spewing lines waiting to turn onto the Champlain Bridge.

Oh, yes, and buses, lots of buses, also disturb the wildlife refuge.

It thins out quite a bit during off-peak hours and on the weekends, but the parkway is still the preferred route downtown for a lot of west-enders. In many ways, whatever its noble origins, whatever the lofty ideals of those who manage it, the parkway has become just a road, just another thing named after Sir John A.

It is not sacred ground. Perhaps it once was.

I should note that I live about a seven-min-

ute walk from the proposed Byron Tramway tunnel. I dont think its going to affect my life in any way and I actually dont mind the idea all that much. But there are many who live closer who do, particularly those whose properties back onto the narrow strip by the parkway where the city proposes to put tracks. Others who live along Byron face a serious inconvenience, at least during the construction period if not after.

Of course, people are always inconve-nienced when a major project goes ahead. Some of us are called on to make sacrifi ces for the greater good. If, however, the decision was made to use the parkway for light rail, hooking up with the Transitway at its western end, only the NCC would be inconvenienced. That western end of the parkway is at quite a remove from residential properties and those who inhabit those properties are used to hav-ing hundreds of buses go by.

The NCC would survive, you can be sure of that, perhaps turning its attentions to other projects that might improve the life of resi-dents of the capital area. Speaking of which, is anything else ever going to happen on LeBreton Flats?

Those who oppose light rail on the park-way and dont like the Richmond-Byron alter-

native either, have strongly supported Carling Avenue as a light rail route. It can certainly be argued that the street is such a mess anyway that nothing could make it worse. So why not put light rail there? However, a convinc-ing case has been set out, most recently in a lengthy Citizen article, that a light rail route using Carling would be logistically diffi cult in spots and prohibitively expensive, unless con-struction involved no bridges or tunnels. With the number of stoplights involved, the speed attained would be no greater than a streetcar.

Hmmm, streetcars. Dont some other cities have those? Dont we wish we still did?

Lets revel in Sens fever

COLUMN

The signs of spring are many in Ottawa. Tu-lips are in bloom, joggers and cyclists are more common sights along the canal and restaurant patios are once again becoming an afternoon destination.

Theres defi nitely something else in the air this spring, however. There are a few more little red fl ags perched on the tops of cars, there are a more red T-shirts and jerseys marked by a distinctive Spartan logo adorning passers-by, and the streets and shops are a little more barren at around 7 p.m. every other evening.

Yes, hockey fever has hit Ottawa a bit harder this spring.

The Ottawa Senators eased past the Montreal Canadiens in fi ve games last week, including a pair of raucous encounters at Scotiabank Place. For those without tickets, fans fi lled bars, restaurants and living rooms across the city to watch games on TV.

The Sens Mile, the nickname given to Elgin Street come playoff time, is once again an exuber-ant, festive gathering place for both hardcore fans and fair-weather faithful alike. Securing passage to the second round of the National Hockey League playoffs will only draw larger crowds.

The city once dubbed the worst sports city in Canada is once again showing how off the mark such a comment was.

It is times like these, when a city institution becomes something more than just a local curiosity, that the true value of sports teams becomes appar-ent. It turns everyone wearing Senators garb into a friendly face. It gives everyone at school or the offi ce a chance to talk about something that is excit-ing and current, allowing people to cast aside their everyday worries and fears for a few fl eeting weeks.

But it doesnt happen every year the last time the Senators won a playoff round was 2007, when they reached the Stanley Cup fi nal and it only occurs in the springtime. Ottawans have only one hometown rooting interest when it comes to profes-sional team sports so far, but thats about to change. By the end of 2014, there will be a couple more players on the block in the form of Canadian Foot-ball League and North American Soccer League franchises. It will take a while for Ottawa fans to warm to their new clubs, but all it will likely take is a good postseason run to capture the sporting imagination.

Lets enjoy these days: they are part of what adds a splash of colour to the fabric of our city.

Push MPPs to pass consumer protection actTo the editor:

I read with interest John Carters piece Be-ware water heater sales pitch, resident warns (Chronicle-Guide, April 25).

The Homeowner Protection Centre (HPC) launched a new website on Thursday, April 18 with the purpose of giving Ontario consumers a much needed voice and to encourage gov-ernment to enact changes that offer protection from door-to-door water heater sales.

The site www.waterheaterdoortodoor.com offers tips on consumer rights when it comes to door-to-door salespeople. It also has a sec-tion for Ontario consumers to share their stories about unethical tactics used by door-to-door

salespeople.HPC is pleased that Bill 55, Stronger Protec-

tion for Ontario Consumers Act, was introduced on Thursday, April 17. Now, Ontario consum-ers need to encourage all three political parties to pass Bill 55 quickly.

Ontario consumers may do this by visiting the site and sending a letter to their local MPP to ask them to pass Bill 55 quickly.

If it isnt passed soon there is concern that these salespeople will step up their tactics to sign up as many people as possible before the Bill 55 is passed. This is especially disconcert-ing given that these salespeople often focus on vulnerable citizens, such as seniors.

These new rules help to maintain a fair, safe

and informed marketplace. It is essential that the citizens of Ontario feel that they can open their door without being pressured to make a large fi nancial commitment without all the facts

or the necessary time to make an informed deci-sion.

Michael Lio, Executive DirectorHomeowner Protection Centre.

THIS WEEKS POLL QUESTION: Do you think a Senators playoff run helps to raise community spirit in Ottawa?

A) Defi nitely. Nothing brings everyone in the city together like rallying behind our team.

B) I think it is a wonderful time to be a hockey fan, but the rest of us just shrug it off .

C) No. I dont think sports are something that should be used to bind a community together.

D) I didnt even notice the playoff s had started. Is that what all the hubbub is about?

PREVIOUS POLL SUMMARY:What do you think the city should do with the empty Ottawa Stadium?

A) Use it to host Little League baseball and mens league and family events.

B) Use the hiatus of no professional baseball to renvoate the stadium and fi x up the surrounding area.

C) Explore the possibliity of using space, such as the parking lot, for development.

D) Not a thing. Just wait for the return of AA baseball, hopefully next season.

Get cracking to make Canada a major nut producing country

To the editor:

Canada grows nuts!Dietitians today frequently

remind us to eat more nuts ev-ery day; that edible nuts are so nutritious.

Good advice.Canada imports a half bil-lion dollars worth of edible nuts annually. That is 99.99 per cent of all the nuts we eat yearly. Fair enough.

But... where does that oth-er 0.01 per cent come from?

Why, Canada, of course! Who knew Canada grows nuts! Well, its one of our best kept secrets. There are a few commercial nut groves in Canada, growing in the warmth along our southern border.

But, our Canadian land-scape has umpteen edible nut trees growing across our country. Mostly in our ur-ban forests, believe it or not.Take just the City of Ottawas urban forest, for example.

There are so many mature ed-ible nuts trees in Ottawa crop-ping annually that its urban forest should be called in truth an urban agroforest. Many species of edible treenuts grow hereabouts.

Now you can learn the HOW-TOs of fi nding, harvesting and using these free edible nuts from Ottawa nut trees, likely growing even in your own neighbourhood.

Here is the skinny... the upcoming Permaculture Ot-tawa Urban Treenuts Pro-cessing Workshop 2013. It is a Show and Tell about process-ing tree nut crops harvested from landscape trees growing in Ottawas urban agroforest. Nuts, equipment, storage, cracking, husking, hulling, recipes, uses, web sources, literature, and more.

The workshop will prepare you to harvest and use Ottawa tree nuts, starting this crop year. You fi nd the details at treenutsworkshop.eventbrite.ca.

Remember that half billion we spend annually outside Canada?

Well, by switching to nuts grown in Canada, most of that money could stay at home, creating quality jobs, generating local income, and feeding us better food.Who is leading the way to this food renaissance?

Surprise, surprise! Why our urban forests are, with their large populations of edible nut trees quietly cropping every year. And not one of our munici-pal governments has twigged yet.So whats next? Why, lets you and me get cracking! Hope to meet you at the up-coming Permaculture Ot-tawa Urban Treenuts Pro-cessing Workshop 2013.Canada can become a major ed-ible nut producing country.

A territorial dispute turned violentEMC lifestyle - Spring seems to

be quietly slipping into summer. Car-pets of stunning spring ephemerals Bloodroots, Spring Beauties, and Hepaticas have been replaced by shade from overhead tree leaves.

Many birds are building nests or sit-ting on eggs. And territories are being hotly disputed.

A territory is a piece of habitat claimed by an animal and defended against others of its kind, usually its own sex. When robins battle or car-dinals relentlessly attack their refl ec-tion in windows, it is a male territory owner driving off an intruder.

Declarations of territory ownership can be made vocally, which is one rea-son wolves howl and songbirds sing. They can be olfactory declarations; many animals deposit smelly chemi-cals at strategic locations along terri-tory boundaries.

When intrusions occur, the territo-rial male inevitably becomes aggres-sive. Usually the intruder submits and departs, avoiding physical interaction that might cause injury.

Beavers are colonial animals that maintain territories year-round. They post no trespassing notices by creat-ing mud piles on which they secrete special chemicals.

Scent mounds are located along the shore or atop rocks and dams, and marking occurs frequently in spring,

MICHAEL RUNTZThese two Beavers are engaged in serious combat, biting each other around the head.

especially around birthing time, which is also when two-year-olds are wandering after being evicted from their colonies.

Last week I was cross-ing the small bridge on Ba-sin Creek in A l g o n q u i n Park when I heard splash-

ing upstream. I looked to see water frothing and two animals fi ghting.

They separated and a large Bea-

ver swam to shore. Seconds later it launched back into the water and went head to head with another Beaver. Like Sumo wrestlers they grappled, writhing as each strove to gain physical advantage and bite its opponent.

After a minute of violent fi ghting, they separated. The loser, who ap-peared to have a gash across its face, retreated to the far shore where it

fl oated for a while before vanishing.The victor climbed up on the op-

posite bank and for half an hour sat whimpering and periodically shaking. Its left forearm was held at a peculiar angle and I could see that it had been bitten in its left shoulder.

The victor eventually waddled into the water. It swam upstream, going ashore several times to scent mark. At the last site it carried and dropped a load of mud over which it squatted and squirted chemicals.

When it swam farther upstream, I raced to an opening across the creek from its scent mound and squatted motionless. I heard a tail slap and soon the Beaver swam past me.

It slapped twice more, once where the fi ght had occurred, before returning upstream. It dove and climbed ashore directly across from me. It dropped a load of mud and scent marked it be-fore returning to the water and vanish-ing upstream.

Fighting has been rarely observed in Beavers, so I was most fortunate to have documented it photographi-cally. Fighting is a last resort for any territorial animal, done only when an intruder refuses to leave.

While territorial intrusions never end amicably, seldom does serious fi ghting ensue.

The reason for this was clearly re-vealed by the Beavers: victors and intruders can both end up severely wounded.

Or worse. The Nature number is 613-387-

EMC lifestyle - It always amazes me to see how truly fat a sheep can get just from eating grass and hay. Rambo is the fat-test of them all, because he doesnt have to go through childbirth and lactating. That can take a lot out of a sheep. So as soon as the green grass starts to pop up, we try to get the sheep out of the barn.

First the Farmer likes to shear them. May is perfect because although the blackfl ies can be a little nasty, the mosquitoes arent too thick yet and there isnt as much chance of sunburn. Their new fl eece will come in and protect them from the bugs and sun in just a few short weeks.

So he took a week off, tackled a few sheep each day and gave them their salon treatments. Shearing, hoof trim, 18-point check stem to stern. Then out they went to the open barnyard and be-yond that, the fresh green of the pasture. The lambs were re-leased as their mothers were. Once out on the loose, many of the ewes became preoccupied and distracted and lost track of their young.

That fi rst week, the sun beat down and the lambs became weak and tired from trying to keep up with their mothers. One lay down and might have had a touch of heat stroke. It didnt try to get up when the Farmer approached. He picked it up and fed it a bottle of water.

The next morning, just before dawn, I went out to the barn where the sheep were sleeping and locked them back in. We decided to give them a few more days inside to remind them that they were mothers and they had little ones to feed. It also reminded the little ones where to fi nd water to drink if they couldnt fi nd their mothers in a hurry. When it cooled off again

outside, we let them back out. This year I have one lamb on the bottle. He was disowned at

birth for whatever reason. Maybe he never clued in that the milk is under the mama. In any case, the only reason he is alive is the bottle of milk replacer I bring him every morning and night. He has a fat belly but it is obvious he isnt well nourished because he has a bony back. There is nothing like mothers milk to fatten up a lamb. This little one, who I call Chicken (I call all the lambs Chicken) needs to be on the green grass more than any of them.

I found Chicken alone in the barn, nibbling on the end of his baby bottle which was strapped to its wire holder on the wall. All the other sheep had been let outside. No sheep likes to be alone. Normally very calm and cuddly, he nervously ran around the pen as I tried to catch him. He knickered and whined and when I fi nally caught him his little body shook with fear in my arms.

I brought him outside and he blinked in the bright daylight. I reassured him, talking calmly and soothingly. When I put him on the ground I held him for a moment, then let him go. He ran a few feet, then back into my arms. I went back into the barn to feed the cats and I could feel him following, and hear him knick-ering to himself, just a few feet behind me.

The rest of the herd came back to the barn just then for their midday nap. This comforted him, and as I left the barn he was tucked in the corner, curled up beside his cousins.

Later in the day I went out to see how Chicken was doing. He was out in the barnyard, curled up beside the cow gate and a big boulder. He kept licking the boulder. Must have been salty. He came over and nibbled on the bottle but wouldnt drink any. This is the fi rst time he hasnt been voraciously hungry and enthusias-tic about the bottle. Im a little worried, but maybe the new grass and soil and rocks he is tasting has curbed his appetite for now. I will go back out when they are all in the barn and see if I can get him to drink again. When I left him he was quietly moving from tiny family to tiny family, introducing himself. Hopefully he will learn to steal milk as the others do, and discover the taste of fresh green grass.

EMC news - The Ministry of Natural Resources is working collaboratively with the Ontario Provincial Police and local police services to protect public safety and educate communi-ties across Ontario about black bear behaviour.

Black bears that come into a populated area arent always a threat to public safety. This fact sheet explains who to contact about encounters with black bears.

Call 911 if a black bear poses an immediate threat to per-sonal safety by exhibiting threatening or aggressive behaviour, such as:

Entering a school yard when school is in session; Stalking people and is lingering at the site; Entering or trying to enter a residence; Wandering into a public gathering; Killing livestock/pets and is lingering at the site. Police are the fi rst responder for any emergency situation.

At the request of police, MNR will respond to emergency situ-ations to assist.

Call the toll-free Bear Wise reporting line at 1-866-514-2327 (TTY 705-945-7641) if a black bear is:

Roaming around, checking garbage cans; Breaking into a shed where garbage or food is stored; In a tree; Pulling down a bird feeder or knocking over a barbecue; Moving through a backyard or fi eld but is not lingering. This line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week from

April 1 until Nov. 30. Trained staff can provide advice about black bear behaviour, how to avoid human-bear confl icts, and how to remove attractants from property.

Even if theyre not causing a threat to public safety, black bears should be discouraged from staying in populated areas.

People can take steps on their property and in their neigh-bourhood to avoid attracting black bears into populated areas. Visit ontario.ca/bearwise for tips and to learn about bears.

The Ministry of Natural Resources would like to thank the many people who are already eliminating attractants. It takes only one property where attractants are not managed carefully to draw bears to a neighbourhood. Everyone must work to-gether to keep black bears in the wild where they belong.

Bear! What to do?

EMC news - The City of Ottawas new backyard pool safety rules are now in effect.

The new rules are contained in a bylaw passed by council earlier this year.

Under the bylaw, all pool owners must now ensure pool en-closure gates are self-closing, self-latching and locked at all times, except when the pool area is in use.

Existing pool enclosures installed with a permit remain com-pliant, but must be locked when the pool area is not in use. All new and replacement pool enclosures must comply with the new bylaw.

The bylaw has also updated fencing requirements for pools (including wading pools), hot tubs and fi sh ponds.

Requirements vary, so pool owners and prospective pool owners are encouraged to review the changes at ottawa.ca.

Throughout the spring and summer, the city and its partners will be informing the public about water safety and reminding residents to always keep children within arms reach around and in the water. The ciy will be inspecting pool enclosures in some neighbourhoods this summer to advise residents about the re-quirements of the new bylaw.

For more information on water safety, visit ottawa.ca.

EMC sports - According to Transport Canada, more than 14 million Canadians ride bicycles. As many cyclists know, bike theft is a common problem, with more than 100,000 bikes reported stolen a year.

It can take less than 30 seconds for someone to grab one off the street. May is Bike Safety Month.

Here are a few tips:

Many Canadian police services have a bike registry where owners can submit their bikes information online or by mail. The registry helps police identify the bike if its recovered. Riders should also keep a record of their bikes model number, manufacturers name, serial number and a photograph of the bike.

Owners should check their insurance policy about coverage for their bike. Many people dont realize that a bicycle, up to a certain amount, can be covered on their tenant or home insurance policyeven if it is taken from a public place. More expensive bikes can be covered with an ad-ditional policy thats added to the home policy.

NEW RULES FOR BACKYARD POOLS

The City of Ottawas new backyard pool safety rules are now in effect and are contained in a By-law passed by Council earlier this year (Pool Enclosure By-law No. 2013-39). Under the By-law, all pool owners must now ensure pool enclosure gates are self-closing, self-latching and locked at all times, except when the pool area is in use. Existing pool enclosures installed with a permit remain compliant, but must be locked when the pool area is not in use. All new and replacement pool enclosures must comply with the new By-law. The By-law has also updated fencing requirements for pools (including wading pools), hot tubs and sh ponds. Requirements vary, so pool owners and prospective pool owners are encouraged to review the changes at ottawa.ca.

Faster!Eat Clean

Be LeanEating clean is simply the practice of avoiding processed and rened foods and basing your diet on whole foods. Whole foods include foods that are found in their natural state, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, grass-fed and free-range meats, wild sh, unsalted nuts, and seeds. The health benets include the prevention of lifestyle diseases, losing weight and just feeling better! Relaxing, laughing and living is also a part of being well, so feel good by applying this 80% of the time and kicking back and enjoy the other 20% of the time. Include clean foods like avocado with anti-aging rich antioxidants. Avocados contain monounsaturated (good) fats which can help reverse insulin resistance and help regulate blood sugar levels. They also help us increase the absorption of other fat soluble nutrients such as eye friendly beta carotene, by up to 5 times!

EMC news - A report on the health of Ontarios youth fi nds that 75 per cent of overweight children become obese adults, said Alex Munter, CEO and president of the Chil-drens Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Munter co-chaired the Healthy Kids Panel, which released the report No Time to Wait: the Healthy Kids Strategy. He presented the fi ndings during a community meeting of the Ottawa Board of Health at the Jim Durrell Centre on May 6. We spoke to a lot of parents, a lot of families and a lot of youth, he said, adding the panel heard from more than 2,000 parents. This is not an issue where were going to be exercising out way out of it.

The panel developed a three-pronged approach to address the issue of obesity in children:

Start all children on the path to health: enhance pre-na-tal care and promote infant health, including breastfeeding

Change the food environment: increase the availability of healthy foods and expand nutrition programs in schools

Create healthy communities: encourage healthy eating and active living

Parents by and large know what they need to do and are believably committed to the health of their child, said Munter. This cant be done without public health.

In 2009, the direct and indirect cost to health care in On-tario due to obesity was $4.5 billion, he said.

The report states that if nothing is done, the current generation of children will develop chronic illnesses much younger and be more affected as they age. The cost of obe-sity will grow, impacting our ability to fund other programs and services.

So far, 20 out of the 23 recommendations made by the panel already have programming underway, said Munter.
