It won’t be on the top 10 must-have gifts of 2017. It’s not the L.O.L Big Surprise, a toy that includes 50 surprises for kids to unwrap. It’s not the donair tree-ornament featuring Halifax’s famous pressed meat on a spit. Those presents are all the rage in big cities far and near. Arnprior has its own must-have gift this year: a set of mittens. Not just any mittens, but a set of handmade mitts with material from the former Kenwood Mills woolen mill. The multi-coloured pawprotectors made from blankets and end pieces (from what was once one of the town’s largest employers) are flying off shelves the last few weeks. The first 40 went in less than two hours, in part raising $400 for L’Arche Arnprior, the non-profit dedicated to people with intellectual disabilities. Now hand-holster manufacturer Dot Vanleur Olynyk is taking orders into the new year. “It’s been unbelievable. I can’t get them made quickly enough,” Vanleur Olynyk said. “It’s the hit of Christmas, I think, because there’s a lot of history in this wool. [Kenwood] sustained the town during the 1930s.” Many popular consumer products are the result of careful market analysis, development and redevelopment, an advertising strategy, and so on. Not so with Lily Pads, as Vanleur Olynyk calls them. It was more a fortunate stroke of serendipity. An elderly lady she knows as “Mrs. Schlievert” was downsizing her homestead and had a number of blankets and other pieces in her attic. Apparently her mother worked at the mill. She learned that

Dot Vanleur Olynyk’s mittens made of wool from the former Kenwood Mills factory are a big hit among Christmas consumers this year. She is struggling to keep up with demand, but enjoys hearing the memories people have to share. Vanleur Olynyk started making mittens to keep herself busy. So an offer was made that couldn’t be refused. To pay forward the gift from Mrs. Schlievert, she decided to give $10 from every labour-intensive $40 pair to charity. “It was just awesome when she gave them to me. Some had holes and were worn; I just cut around those. But some had never been used. And all kinds

of colours: blues and browns and greens – oh the greens!” she said. “I sat on it for a while trying to figure out how to share these. They really are part of the community and she donated them to me so I wanted to make a donation.” Perhaps the best part of the experience for Vanleur Olynyk is hearing the customer stories.

The annual free dinner at Nick Smith is a go again this Christmas day. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and everyone is more than welcome to eat or help out or both. Tracey Climo is the primary organizer, cooking many turkeys in the lead up to Dec. 25. But she has a lot of help from volunteers and business donations. “If you are a clergy, medical professional or volunteer at an organization where you think people might benefit from this dinner, please pass on the word,” Climo said, adding that monetary donations can be dropped off at her Mel’s Flowers, 55 Tierney St.

come to take their eggs. But these clever girls figured out a distraction. The older one would roll the younger toward the coop, gathering as many snowballs on her snowsuit as possible. Turns out the chickens loved pecking the balls. They couldn’t get enough. To the point that none would notice as the older sister (admittedly with the safer job) stole inside to get breakfast. “Hearing all the stories from the mill, everybody who worked there. It’s opened a lot of memories for people,” said Vanleur Olynyk. She didn’t grow up in town but her husband Bill recalls many relatives who worked at the mill, prior to its closing some 30 years ago or more. The charity aspect has switched from L’Arche to Lily, a dog the couple foster who needs eye surgery. The two care for a half dozen dogs at any given time. There is no need to ring the doorbell at their place. Small dogs seem to crawl all over feet, wagging tails happily and begging to give tiny licks on human cheeks. They have stories to tell, horrifying in many cases, but still chose to welcome people inside, thanks in large part to the love and shelter shown by the Olynyk. Fostering dogs is not an unusual lifestyle choice for Vanleur, who said her father used to come home all the time with “pokey noses” in his coat, feeding them by hand. Further back in the family tree, relatives in Europe had an open-door policy for everyone during the war years. “I’ve just always believed in looking out for the underdog,” she said. “Help your fellow neighbour. If someone has less than you, you help them out. Animals are a part of that for me.” Lily’s Pads are available at The Gallery Gift Shop on John Street North, and the Pakenham General Store.

DENTAL HEALTH From Arnp

In this week’s article I would like to discuss best practices for dealing with broken or lost teeth. With the arrival of winter, come many opportunities for participating in any number of outdoor activities, from skiing to skating to snowshoeing and everything in between. Together with the snow and ice we must deal with in our usual routines, winter brings with it a much higher risk of slips and falls. This means a greater chance of breaking or losing a tooth, especially with children. Once we have dealt with any more pressing injuries what should we do about a lost or broken tooth? First we must make every effort to recover the missing tooth or broken tooth fragment. If we are dealing with a permanent tooth (as opposed to a baby tooth) it should be rinsed under the running water with a minimum of touching and absolutely no scrubbing. If you have the ability to put the tooth back in place (with the correct orientation) do so immediately (with the correct orientation). If it is not possible to do so first immerse the tooth in the person’s saliva or milk and then try to reach a dentist as soon as possible to have the tooth reinserted. The most critical factor in a successful tooth replanting is time.

TIPS

Doctor

A baby tooth cannot be replanted as there is a permanent tooth directly beneath it and replanting risks injuring to it. I would advise speaking with your dentist for other options. In the case of a broken tooth, if possible retrieve the broken part, store it in milk and then make every effort to get treatment from your dentist within the hour. It may be possible to reattach the fragment to the tooth; the chances of success greatly depend on the size of the broken part. With or without the tooth fragments there are a number of options available to you through your dentist. Broken and lost teeth are considered dental emergencies and most dental offices welcome emergency patients without a prearranged appointment. Keep in mind that time is always the most important factor in such situations. Should you have any questions on this or any subject pertaining to dentistry please feel free to contact us; we are always pleased to assist you in your quest for better oral health. We also welcome suggestions for future articles. Arnprior Tooth Doctor, Dr. Shahriar Jalali, 613-600-4342 dr.jalali@arnpriortoothdoctor.ca

Event planner opens at town’s most prominent commercial space DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Considered by many to be the most prominent commercial space in Arnprior, the brick and largely windowed building at 102 John St. N. has a new tenant. Studio Leslie Anne is an events planning, floral and beauty shop in the heart of Arnprior. It opened Dec. 13. Owners Leslie Anne and David Hook have planned many weddings and other events over about a 10-year span. Mostly in Ottawa. But they wanted out of the city to raise their young family, so found a spot in Arnprior almost three years ago. It made sense for the couple, with a sevenyear-old daughter and nine-year-old son, since David is former military he knows the Upper Ottawa Valley quite well. Leslie Anne knows esthetics well too, in its various forms. “I started out on the beauty side, doing hair and makeup before moving on to events,” Leslie Anne said from the newly renovated shop. “I was an esthetician at Shadez (Hair and Esthetic Studio) across the street for about half a year, just watching the market.” She said her eye was drawn to the space, agreeing that it is one of the

Robotics team off to provincial finals DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The annual robotics showcase at Arnprior District High School welcomed some special guest participants from an area primary school. Wildcat Wizards, the robotics team from Walter Zadow Public School was at the Dec. 5 event, soon after their impressive showing at a region-wide competition. The team of Casey Taylor, Carter Tromp, Owen Tromp, Katie Vincent, Joshua Gauthier, Rachel Bodechon, Hudson Hupe, and Noah Pritchard won third place at a competition in Ottawa. They qualify for the provincial finals in Oshawa in Janu-

ary. Wildcat Wizards took first place in design, not bad for the inaugural year of a robotics team at the school. They made an elaborate Lego system. They also had a display showing how they solved a real world problem related to hydrodynamics. Welcoming members of the public to the high school robotics event was Ryley Hollington. He is on the ADHS Robotics Team C4, and explained what was occurring at various tables. Of particular interest was last year’s robot. Participants were even allowed to drive various robots, along with learning about 3D printing, and Lego Robotics.

The holiday season is upon us; there will be parties and family gatherings, meals, appetizers, desserts and drinks! Renfrew County and District Health Unit is encouraging everyone to remember their alcohol limits this holiday season. Canada’s Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines are designed to help Canadians aged 25-65 make informed choices about their alcohol consumption, and to help create a culture of moderation. The guidelines recommend: • No more than 10 drinks a week for women, with no more than two drinks a day most days; • No more than 15 drinks a week for men, with no more than three drinks a day most days; • Planning nondrinking days every week to avoid developing a habit. The health unit urges those struggling with addiction or concerned family members of someone with a substance abuse problem to contact Addictions Treatment Service (ATS)

Traffic blitz focused on trucks

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) participated in an enforcement blitz in Ontario last week that focused on large commercial motor vehicles (CMV). The Operation Safe Trucking initiative ran from Monday Dec. 11-15. Officers in the Renfrew detachment had the opportunity to stop 28 large commercial vehicles. Charges laid included: seven for follow too closely, two for speeding, two for not wearing a seatbelt, one unsafe lane change and two other moving violations. Two charges were laid related to documents and one charge was laid related to defective equipment. Throughout the province, the OPP has responded to more than 6,200 CMV collisions so far this year. Seventy-two of the incidents were fatal, with 87 people losing their lives. The OPP encourages professional truck drivers to set an example and always be an exemplary driver.

OPINION

Connected to your community

The times are changing The media landscape is changing. Those changes aren’t just limited to print media or newspapers but, of course, it is local newspapers across Ontario where we have seen significant transformation recently. If you grew up reading a newspaper, where it was received daily or once or twice a week, chances are good that you still read a newspaper in print. Similarly, if you once lived or still live in a smaller community you probably read the local newspaper, in print or online, to keep up to date on happenings in that community. The reality today, however, is that there are many more sources of information for local, national and international news so that fewer people rely on a local newspaper. The younger you are, the more likely you are to get your news on the internet. It also used to be the case that for a merchant to reach their customers there was a limited array of advertising tools. First newspapers, then radio, TV and now the internet. With the introduction of each new medium, there was a rebalancing of the media mix used by advertisers though overall during the last century, the total amount of money spent on all media for advertising has grown. As audiences have shifted their attention to

the internet, the advertising dollars have followed. The scope of the audiences that an advertiser can reach online and the degree to which they can target specific groups or individuals is beyond the capability of traditional media in many respects. The internet is a powerful advertising medium and has for years absorbed all the growth in advertising spending as well as drawn spending away from traditional media. And that’s OK. But it does mean change. If you live in Perth, Carleton Place, Kemptville, Smiths Falls, Renfrew, Arnprior or any place in between you and your community have been well served by your newspaper since as far back as 1834 (Perth Courier). These papers have strong traditions, strong readership and provide a means for merchants in those communities to reach their customer base through a trusted, local partner. These newspapers are written by reporters who live here; have sales representatives who know the local merchants; and are printed at our facility in Smiths Falls. We are proud to provide a voice for the communities that we serve and we intend to keep on doing so. Please join us weekly in print or daily online at insideottawavalley.com. We’ll be here and we hope you’ll continue to join us.

Remember, don’t drink and drive this holiday season With the festive season upon us it also means it’s time to party! One of my favourite things to do each year is to buy a new dress for the big annual Christmas party my husband and I attend. Last week, the party was held in a big, fancy, ballroom. Dinner was served and as the wine was about to be poured, we looked at each other and said, “Who is driving home?” It was automatic; if one of us is going to drink we are not going to drive. Sometimes these are the hardest lessons to learn, one I had to learn at an early age. Almost 30 years ago, my mom was having a girls night out and headed out to bingo. She was waiting to turn left and was rear ended by an impaired driver.

years, and Lucy, just two-and-a-half, will be running circles around everyone. John performed in his first school concert this week doing the reindeer pokey and Lucy demanded I take a picture of her with baby Jesus outside of church. The amazement in their eyes at this time of year is something I will always treasure. So my Christmas wish is that everyone is able to enjoy those wondrous eyes, both young and old, safely. This holiday season, if you drink at a festive party, make arrangements to get home safely, have a designated driver, take a cab or find a couch to sleep on. Remember the most important gift of love is for you to be present with your family. As John and Lucy would say ‘Happy Birthday Jesus’ and Merry Christmas to all.

AVIS DE PRESENTATION DE RAPPORT D’ETUDE ENVIRONNEMENTALE SUR LES TRANSPORTS (REET) Pont de la rivière Mississippi de l’autoroute 17 Évaluation environnementale de portée générale et conception détaillée (GWP 4121-10-00) Le ministère des Transports de l’Ontario (MTO) a retenu les services de Dillon Consulting Limited (Dillon) afin de réaliser la conception et l’évaluation environnementale de portée générale pour les travaux du pont de la rivière Mississippi, situé sur l’autoroute 17, à l’extrémité ouest de la ville d’Ottawa, en Ontario. Considérant l’état actuel du pont, la solution de rechange recommandée est de construire un nouveau pont au même endroit. L’autoroute 17 sera fermée sur le pont pendant la construction et un itinéraire de détour avec panneaux sera fourni le long du chemin Kinburn Side, du chemin Upper Dwyer Hill et du chemin Galetta Side. Lors de la construction, la rivière Mississippi sera fermée à la navigation de plaisance à la hauteur du pont pendant de courtes périodes, notamment lorsque le pont existant sera détruit. On posera des affiches afin de signaler au préalable les fermetures complètes. L’étude a été réalisée selon le processus d’évaluation environnementale de portée générale applicable aux installations de transport provinciales (2000) pour un projet du groupe B. Le REET est mis à la disposition du public conformément avec les exigences des évaluations environnementales de portée générale du ministère des Transports de l’Ontario. Le REET documente le processus d’évaluation environnementale réalisé, notamment : l’évaluation des options; la conception privilégiée pour le nouveau pont; les effets environnementaux prévus et les mesures d’atténuation; et la consultation réalisée tout au long de l’étude. Le REET est accessible en ligne aux fins d’examen sur le site www.EastOntarioBridges.ca et aux endroits suivants durant les heures ouvrables normales du 21 décembre 2017 au 26 janvier 2018 : Ministère des Transports Région Est 1355, boul.

Un arrêté prévu à la partie II peut mener à la préparation d’une évaluation environnementale individuelle. Un exemplaire de la demande d’arrêté prévu à la partie II doit être acheminé au ministère des Transports à l’adresse figurant ci-dessous. S’il n’existe aucune question non réglée après le 26 janvier 2018, le projet sera considéré comment ayant respecté les exigences de l’évaluation environnementale de portée générale et pourra procéder à sa conception détaillée.

Man arrested following daylight truck theft One male is facing charges after stealing a truck from the parking lot of a convenience store in broad daylight. On Friday, Dec. 15 at approximately 12:25 p.m. the victim reported a male had just stolen his truck from the Mac’s Milk on Madawaska Street in Arnprior. The male had just parked the truck and gone into the store when the suspect got in the truck and drove away. The truck was observed by police on Highway 17 travelling west and the driver refused to stop. The officer did not continue to attempt to stop the truck. The stolen vehicle was located abandoned in Renfrew in the area of McLean Street. The suspect was located a short distance away and arrested. A 36-year-old Ottawa man was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police, driving while disqualified and breach of probation. He was held in custody for a bail hearing on Dec. 18. Provincial Const. Kyle Mask led the investigation. Remember thieves only need a few seconds to steal a vehicle if the keys are left in it or it is left running. We often think “It won’t happen to me,” or “I live in a small town, that sort of thing only happens in the city.” Time and again this thinking has been proven false. Thieves will take any opportunity they can to steal your property. Lock your vehicle, pocket the keys and take valuables with you. Lock it or Lose it. The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated 236 calls for service during the past week.

vestigated three domestic disputes during the past week. One female was charged with assault. No other criminal offences took place. RIDE SPOT CHECKS

The male driver had been drinking and was arrested for impaired driving. Following breath tests at the detachment a male, 54, of Ottawa was charged with impaired driving and driving over 80mgs. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on Jan. 3. Const. Carlvin Burgins led the investigation. MISCHIEF

As the population of older adults continues to grow, injuries caused by falls are placing an even greater burden on the health care system. “This report gives the reader current information on falls happening in our communities and encourages them to make a falls prevention plan,” states Raili Quathamer, public health nurse at the health Unit. “A fall prevention plan could be made for yourself, your client or a loved one,” continues Raili. The report promotes the following six actions to prevent falls: 1. Find and remove hazards in the home 2. Exercise for strength and balance 3. Manage medications and their side effects 4. Have the right safety and protective gear 5. Have regular health checkups 6. Eat healthy meals and stay hydrated Find out more about fall-related injuries and how to prevent them by reading the report, downloading the video and sharing the report infographic available at www. rcdhu.com. You can also call the health unit Health Info Line at 1-800-267-1097 Ext. 666 to speak with a nurse.

Arnprior Packers’ Christmas wish TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

The Arnprior Packers of the Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey League dropped both of their games last weekend. Maybe general manager’s Brent Sylvester’s Christmas wish will get the team back to their winning ways. “I hope Santa brings me a young, solid defenceman,”said Sylvester via e-mail. A few years ago Sylvester received a very special gift underneath the Christmas tree.

“My first brand new pair of hockey gloves were under the tree back when I was in bantam hockey and I was so excited,” said Sylvester. On Dec. 15, the Packers got shut out on the road by the Embrun Panthers 4-0. And on Dec. 17, at home, the Packers could not secure the victory as they gave up three unanswered goals in the third to the visiting Whitewater Kings to lose 4-3. This week the Packers have two road games: Dec. 22 in Winchester at 8:15 p.m. and on Dec. 27 in Renfrew at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre at 8 p.m. against the Wolves.

chair of the GASC. “Just imagine combining a core of dedicated senior citizens and a family of prominent stakeholders representing Arnprior Regional Health, Arnprior-BraesideMcNab Seniors at Home, the Town of Arnprior, Hospice Renfrew, the Township of McNab/Braeside, Arnprior and District Health Team, and the Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County, you simply receive in return a shared commitment to create an open, respectful, and inclusive community that respects and engages Seniors. Can one ask for more?” In a recent GASC Self-Evaluation and Progress Report submitted to Arnprior town council, the GASC has made significant contributions to the community. The Grove redevelopment campaign to increase the supply of long-term care beds at the Grove is most notable in that it required overall team commitment and Community support to succeed. We all stepped up and delivered. We are so proud to have played a part. The development of partnerships and strategic alliances within the community and beyond continue to grow and helps focus our work moving forward. Expanding services and supports, helping to grow new and exciting social, recreational and educational opportunities for Senior’s in the Community, as well as involving the business Community in addressing Seniors needs is also a major part of our work. And, according to O’Shaughnessy: “We need to introduce an intergenerational component to our programs and services which will help ensure to that our seniors are connected with more diverse, meaningful, and tailored community engagement opportunities. Our youth have so much to offer and we should take advantage of this most valuable resource base.” Social participation, respect, and inclusion are key elements to our programming and we are excited and encouraged as we continue to progress, and be even more effective. Want to get involved and make a significant contribution? The GASC encourages volunteerism among seniors and other generations – you will enjoy the experience and both the rewards and challenges it brings.

LOCKHART, Donald

Thank You To A Wonderful Community

On behalf of Caroline, Matthew and my mom Margot Levy, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to my wonderful extended family, friends and neighbors who have reached out with so much kindness, support and love since the passing of my wonderful husband and soulmate of 50 years. Brian would be so touched by the love and caring of so many. Your many cards, flowers and most generous donations to the Prostate Cancer Research Centre and to the most caring healthcare professionals at The Ottawa Hospital Medical Oncology Unit, have brought great comfort to us at this difficult time in our lives. It’s easy to say “thank you”, but it’s harder to convey the heartfelt gratitude that I feel in my heart at this time. The thoughtfulness of true friendship and support means more than words could ever say. My very best wishes to all my Rhoddy’s Bay, Arnprior and Ottawa friends and family for a very happy and healthy holiday season. Elaine Orrbine

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 You may be operating on some false information, Aries. It’s better to get the facts before going forward in the coming days. You may end up changing directions midweek. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if you are feeling upset because someone is getting more attention than you, you may need to focus your thoughts elsewhere. Think of what makes you special. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Your emotions may be all over the map in the coming days, Gemini. The secret is to surround yourself with people who will guide you in the right direction. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, there is a time for joking around and a time for being serious. This week you may have to lean toward the latter. Others may not share your joviality right now.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You are always one to lend a helping hand, Virgo. But now you may need to call in some favors of your own. Don’t be afraid to ask for help this week. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, think financial decisions through before acting. Patience is a friend when making important financial decisions, and it’s time to take such matters more seriously. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, try something outside of your wheelhouse in the coming days. You have a knack for teaching yourself new skills, and you are a fast learner.

Finding out what is the true meaning of the season Emerson reasoned it out this way: if you didn’t expect much for Christmas, you wouldn’t be disappointed. But, my sister Audrey, much older and wiser than both of us, said we put too much emphasis on gifts and missed all the joys of getting ready for that special day, not looking at all the happiness around us. I was much too young to have an opinion one way or the other, and to really understand what they meant. All I knew was that Santa would come regardless, and that’s all that mattered to me. Until that year when Audrey sat me down and gave me something to think about other than what would be under the tree on Christmas morning. We were sitting on the old creston couch in the kitchen. Mother had gone to Briscoe’s General Store to get brown sugar and molasses for her special Christmas cookies. Apple pies and sticky buns had been made early that morning, and were cooling down on the bake table to be wrapped and moved to the summer kitchen to freeze.

the hot kitchen, now waiting to be swept into the stove, my heart warmed from the memory of it all. And then Audrey, still with MARY COOK her arm around my shoulder, reI could smell apples and cinnamon. minded me of the And then Audrey pointed to the big school concert, and how that year I Christmas tree that filled one whole finally was allowed to play an angel corner of the kitchen. — after years of being a sheep — and All the family had gone back in the how I got a whole bag of hard Christbush on the sleigh to pick it out, com- mas candy from Santa. ing home to a supper of baked beans And I remembered the joy of that and ham cooking in the oven, our wet magical evening at the Northcote clothes draped on chairs around the School.

Mary Cook’s Memories

acre field on a crystal clear night with the stars so bright it looked like daylight, the snow-packed field, a blanket of diamonds and the beautiful sounds coming from the bells around the horses’ necks. Sheer joy filled my whole body remembering the magic of the night. As my sister talked about all the joys of the Christmas season, she never once mentioned the gifts we would find under the tree. And then, she began reminding me of the wonderful dinner we would have when we came home from church on Christmas morning. The turkey would be cooked, the pies would be warming on the very back of the stove, the table would be set and we would be using the white linen tablecloth Mother had brought from New York, and which we brought out only for very special occasions like Christmas. “Think of that table full of all the foods we love ... and remember there will be lots of people who won’t have a Christmas dinner ... there will be no money for food for them,” Audrey said, looking right at me, and I knew

she was telling me there were many things to be thankful for, besides presents under the tree. I hoped she wouldn’t go into Mother’s lecture about being grateful for every morsel we put in our mouths and reminding us of the starving Armenians ... I had no idea who they were, and I still thought they probably lived in Arnprior. I fell asleep on Audrey’s shoulder, waking only when Mother came back from Briscoe’s General Store. May I take this opportunity to wish all my faithful readers a wonderful Christmas, and may you all share it with loved ones around you, remembering the true meaning of this special time.

Nature’s economy is on the rise There are many differences between our artificial world, one full of technology, greed, and profit, and the “real world,” which runs on a “struggle to survive” principle. Sadly, far too many people are failing to realize how essential the connection between those two worlds is, and that we cannot survive on this besieged planet without the natural world remaining healthy. However, there is one similarity. Both experience “boom and bust” cycles. Our species has seen the rise and fall of economic giants such as Eaton’s and Sears. In Nature, many species of plants and animals go through similar cycles with the only difference being that they tend to recover after a “bust.” Of all population cycles, none is more impressive than that of the local Meadow Vole. Meadow Voles are commonly called Field Mice. However, mice have longer tails used for balance when climbing shrubs and trees. Jumping Mice have the longest tails of all, important when these miniature Kangaroos go leaping about. Voles, however, have abbreviated tails, and don’t leap or climb. They are the most common rodents all through Ontario, rang-

ing from extreme southern Ontario to Hudson Bay. Their habitat ranges from fields and swamps to tundra and open forests. Voles have a varied diet, with insects, plant seeds and the bark of shrubs being eaten. The recent snowfalls are a good thing for their winter survival because they and other small mammals (such as Deer Mice) utilize the under-the-snow transit way known as the subnivean space. This crystallized space between the snow and the

ground offers easy transit, safety, and warmth; it is often only a few degrees below zero while temperatures plunge above the snow. There are two things concerning Meadow Voles that are impressive. One is that they are food for almost every predatory animal in this province. Owls and hawks eat them. Foxes and coyotes eat them. Weasels and snakes eat them. Even Great Blue Herons eat them. They are in many ways the currency of the wild. The other unusual feature is that Meadow Voles undergo one of the greatest fluctuations in population of any animal on this planet. They can be exceedingly scarce some years and in others so abundant that they run out from underfoot at almost every step. Meadow Voles quickly rise in numbers when food is plentiful and predation pressure low. Females can have multiple litters per year (one in captivity had 17!), with as many as 11 young per litter. Their pregnancy lasts a mere three weeks and most remarkably, a female vole can reproduce at the tender age of 25 days! So when the population starts to grow, it can grow

Meadow Voles can be the most common and the most important small mammals in Ontario. exponentially. At peak populations, densities of 600 voles per hectare have been recorded. Whenever animal populations go through a “boom” in the “real world,” they inevitably experience a crash in numbers, a “bust.” Perhaps those who think that continual economic growth is a good thing should take a closer
