Feds to fund half of Manotick arena expansion Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
Manotick’s cramped and crumbling arena could get its long-awaited facelift as early as 2017, thanks to a grant from the federal government’s Canada 150 community infrastructure program. Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre announced on July 31 that the federal
government will fund half of the $1.7 million renewal project, for up to $880,000. The expansion will double the size of the arena’s four change rooms, which are notoriously small and often force team mates to take turns changing because they can’t fit an entire adult or teenage hockey team in there at the same time. Extra storage space and

meeting rooms will be added to the second floor community hall. That includes permanent, accessible storage and programming space for the Youth of Manotick Association, which currently lacks a home for its Friday night youth gatherings. “It allows the YOMA group to become more established because they won’t have to be bringing bins upstairs or to other locations,” said director Janice Domaratzki, who said she is “over the moon thrilled” by the funding announcement. It will still be shared community space, but at least they can keep their programming supplies in one spot, and provide a regular, accessible spot every Friday, she said. The community has been fundraising for the expansion for about a year, and so far has raised about $200,000 toward the project.

It’s not every day a small community museum receives a massive art piece from an internationally renowned sculptor – which made July 28 all the more exciting at the Osgoode Township Museum in Vernon. Volunteer welders from the International Iron Workers in Metcalfe braved the humidity alongside museum volunteers to assemble a large, stainless steel arbour amongst the beans and lettuce of the museum’s thriving community garden. The arbour was designed and built by Ottawa sculptor Bruce Garner, who is best known locally for the massive bronze bear who guards the entrance to Sparks Street across from the National War Memorial downtown. Garner mentored museum president Gary Briggs, a sculptor in his own right, but Garner died several years ago. When Briggs and the museum team began to plant their heritage

public spaces across the nation. That alone might create some positive attention, said museum manager Robin Cushnie. “Bruce Garner was so well associated with public art in Ottawa,” she said. “We hope it will put us on the map.” The heritage garden is already starting to do that. It was started several years ago to complement the fact that the museum is housed in an old school house, many of which used to have community gardens as a matter of course in Ontario. School children now visit the garden in the spring and community members are welcome to come harvest the fruits and vegetables whenever they like. They’re encouraged to do a bit of weeding while they’re there. “It’s getting people on site that maybe never would have bothered before,” Cushnie said. Visit the arbour – and harvest some fresh vegetables – all summer at 7814 Lawrence St. in Vernon.

community garden in front of the museum’s old schoolhouse building on Highway 31, Garner’s wife Tamaya decided to donate the arbour that had been in her backyard for a decade. “It’s kind of nice to see his work continue to come up,” she said. The arbour was originally commissioned for a condo development in the city’s east end. But once it was installed, the residents didn’t follow through with the concept, which was to plant vines around the arbour to create a living art piece. Eventually the developer gave the arbour back, and it has been sitting on Garner’s property ever since. This time there’s no doubt the arbour will fulfill its original purpose; while it has been modified from an original circus theme to a shorter, less tent-like version, there are already plans to plant grapes, morning glories and other climbing species around the base. “What Bruce wanted was a combination of all sorts of things growing in it,” Tamaya said, noting the plan is to create a sort of “upside-down nest” in the middle. “It will get better as the years go on.” For the museum, bringing the piece back to life could be a huge boon. Garner was a vocal supporter of publicly accessible art, and his pieces can accordingly be found in

if we get just one so be it. It would be disappointing, but we’ll go with just one,” Haan said. “It will not be cancelled.” The Super Kids program uses custom built two-seater derby cars specifically designed to allow children between eight and 18 years of age who have physical or developmental challenges to participate in soap box derby races. The addition of the Super Kids to this year’s Manotick soap box derby is a bit of a coup for derby organizers and the MVCA. “MVCA is delighted that the Canadian headquarters of Super Kids in Peterborough is lending us two of their special carts this year so that we can offer children with special needs in the Ottawa area with the opportunity to participate in a soapbox derby,” the MVCA’s Sheila Dubyk said. She added Manotick’s derby is the only one in eastern Ontario to offer the Super Kids program this year. The carts are expected to arrive in Manotick on August 16. Registration for the event at Centennial Park, next to the Manotick Arena, is well underway with all information potential participants need available at the MVCA’s website

Specially designed cars such as these are being loaned to the Manotick Soap Box Derby so kids with physical or developmental challenges can take part in Super Kids races at the Aug. 30 event. (www.manotickvca.org). Haan said for the derby as a whole registration is in line with previous years, adding that the pace of registration picks up in August as the event nears. Participants must be at least seven years of age to race and can purchase a kit online, or make a race cart from items found around the house. Specifications for the carts can also be found on the MVCA website. The MVCA also has a limited
number of carts available that have been sponsored by associations and businesses in the community for youth who do not have a racing cart. The MVCA has 14 available slots for riders in the seven-sponsored carts. “The derby is really a family event during which kids can design and build their own carts with the help of a parent or grandparent,” Dubyk said. “This was one of the driving forces behind starting the Manotick Soapbox Derby five years ago.”

Welcome to the Manotick boat launch Mel Roberts of the Manotick Village Community Association,(MVCA) standing on the dock, extends a welcoming hand to the occupants of a boat that arrived at the new boat dock in the village during an official opening ceremony on July 28 for the structure. The new dock below Bridge Street was actually installed on July 14, but the ceremony was held to acknowledge the efforts of Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt and the MVCA in seeing the project to reinstall a dock at an existing boat launch area come to fruition.

Provincial funding flows to keep Ottawa youth out of gangs Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
To prevent at-risk Ottawa youth from joining gangs and help gang members leave behind their criminal way of life, the province will give almost $700,000 over three years to Ottawa-based programs working toward that goal. The funding, which works out to more than $233,000 a year, will build upon the inroads already being made locally that help youth stay on the right track, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser announced June 22 at the Log Cabin Community Centre in Ottawa Community Housing’s Shearwater neighbourhood of Hunt Club. “One of the unique things about our city and the community that I come from is there is a lot of collaboration. People work together,â€? said Fraser, who was joined by Ottawa-OrlĂŠans MPP Marie-France Lalonde. “I know that this money will go to the community to support those kinds of collaborations that exist right now,â€? he said, adding that by supporting youth, boosting their sense of belonging and encouraging their community involvement,
young people can have a stable future, and, as a result, neighbourhoods become safer. Sharmaarke Abdullahi, a former Michele Heights Community House co-ordinator who is now a business consultant with Crime Prevention Ottawa, has seen firsthand how difficult it is for youth to grow up without adequate support. “I’ve also seen how targeted investments have had tremendous impacts on young people’s lives,� he said. He told the story of a teen who had lived in six communities in Ontario before settling with his family of six in a social housing community in Ottawa. Adam, the pseudonym Abdullahi used for the teen, was in Grade 9 when he arrived. As the eldest of four he helped his mother, who suffered from clinical depression, care for his siblings in the absence of his father who was incarcerated. Adam’s mother learned through the community house the different services that were available and was able to connect her son to the right programs. “She was particularly interested in homework supports for Adam because he was recently diagnosed
with a learning disability and he was also cutting school and falling behind,� Abdullahi said. Adam was matched with a mentor, tutor, a positive role model and career advice.“Today, I’m happy to say that Adam has now completed university and is now working to support his mother and younger siblings.� Abdullahi said more at-risk youth across the province, such as Adam, will be helped by Ontario’s enhanced and expanded Youth Action Plan, through which the new funding will flow into the province’s Gang Prevention/Intervention Program and on to programs in Ottawa, Windsor, Thunder Bay and Toronto. “There’s a lot of services and a lot of kids doing well, including kids with a lot of stresses in their lives,� said Nancy Worsfold, executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa, who attended the announcement. “Can we do better with some kids with acute risks? Yes, we can. “But you look at overall outcomes and we’re doing well. But this doesn’t mean you should stop. “We need to keep it up,� Worsfold said.

Stretch the light rail plans
T
he province needs to step up and commit to funding Ottawa’s future light-rail system the same way Queen’s Park is backing transit in Brampton, Mississauga and Hamilton. In the next two years, the City of Ottawa will tender for Phase 2 of rail. That’s the phase that’s planned to reach some of the suburbs: Bayshore, Place d’Orléans, Baseline and Riverside South.That’s good news. But if construction stops at those points, it’s unclear when or if tracks will one day extend to the airport and the eastern edge of the city, at Trim Road. If Phase 2 includes rail from Bayshore to Trim and a link to the airport, we’ll have a system that serves the majority of potential riders. It will be possible for thousands of people to ditch their cars, and thousands more households will likely be able to live with just one car instead of two. There is still time to add Trim Road and the airport spur to the Phase 2 plans. It will obviously cost less if those sections of track are part of the Phase 2 tender, instead of a separate project priced out in future dollars.That’s why Queen’s Park should act.
The province has committed to fund rail projects in Brampton, Mississauga and Hamilton, even though those city’s plans are not as well formed as those here in Ottawa. Those provincial dollars are also earmarked without any matching federal or municipal commitments. If the Wynne government can afford that – and while it’s seeking ways to spend infrastructure money across Ontario – Ottawa deserves a more complete light rail network. The benefits of investing in this city’s light rail are clear. Giant infrastructure projects help the economy of the communities where they are based during construction, as well as afterwards, as people move more quickly to where they need to be. Every dollar spent on commuter rail will reduce the need for more and wider roads – many of them provincially managed. Dollars spent on rail take drivers off existing roads, meaning there’s a benefit even for those people who will never choose to use public transit. The province, the city and the federal government have each committed $1 billion to Phase 2 light rail. For the investment to really pay off, we need the province to stretch its dollars and stretch the rail system.

Paddling away anxiety
E
arly in July, Canadian veteran Trevor Petersen arrived in Ottawa to much fanfare after journeying for more than two weeks from Toronto to Ottawa on a stand-up paddleboard. Petersen, who returned to Canada seven years ago with posttraumatic stress disorder following his service in Afghanistan, learned to paddle as a form of therapy. The 43-year-old is now a certified paddleboard instructor and has spent the past few years paddling across various regions in Canada to raise awareness and money for PTSD and the Canadian Mental Health Association. Why paddling? “Paddleboarding was a very influential part of my healing

fered from minor anxiety. The usual things such as deadlines, financial worries, health concerns and children would sometimes accumulate and put me in an anxious state. To me, it was circumstantial and normal. About 18 months after my third child was born, my anxiety started to become overwhelming. I walked around most days feeling like someone was choking me. I’d wake in the night, fearing I’d missed some detail, checking the fridge and Facebook for answers. I ignored all the warning signs and I continued to push through with my business, organizing the family, worrying about friends with cancer. And then I had a panic attack. Having never experienced one before, I presumed it was a stroke and asked a friend to call an ambulance. Although an isolated experience, it scared me enough that I was disTriBuTion inQuiries Richard Burns 613-221-6243 adMinisTraTion: Donna Therien 613-221-6233 display adverTising: Gisele Godin - Kanata - 221-6214 Dave Pennett - Ottawa West - 221-6209 Brad Clouthier - Orleans - 221-6154 Cindy Gilbert - Ottawa South - 221-6211 Carly McGhie - Ottawa East - 221-6154 Geoff Hamilton - Home Builders - 221-6215 Valerie Rochon - Barrhaven - 221-6227 Jill Martin - Nepean - 221-6221 Mike Stoodley - Stittsville - 221-6231 Janine Kivell - Ottawa West - 221-6217 Rico Corsi - Automotive Consultant - 221-6224

determined to get my underlying anxiety in check. I started opening up to friends and family and quickly realized the majority of people I spoke to are on anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medication. Medication, combined with therapy, can be a valid means of treatment. For personal reasons, I was determined to find an alternative to drugs. But – as Petersen suggested – the biggest culprit is failing to live in the moment. It’s no surprise that anxiety experts encourage people in the midst of a panic attack to focus on things they can touch, feel and see. Meditation is often recommended as therapy. I always joke that I can’t meditate to relieve anxiety because I’m too anxious. And that’s where paddling comes in. Long before I heard of Peterson, I bought myself a kayak.

Passing on the Lego passion Caden Kahat from Chelsea, Que., takes a look at the Indiana Jones-esque Lego set his parents are purchasing from the Lego 4 CHEO event held in Chapman Mills on July 25. The sale in support of CHEO celebrated Mark Valcour, a Lego enthusiast who died in January. Friends and family worked to sell the large collection – about 70 kilograms worth of Lego – which Valcourt wanted to benefit CHEO.

Community effort helped secure federal, city support Continued from page 1
Combined with a commitment from the city of Ottawa to pick up the rest, Manotick Culture, Parks and Recreation Association president Noel Norenius said the project is now basically a go. “It’s a testament to the endless volunteer effort from the community leaders that we’ve been able to make this expansion a reality,” added Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt. But it’s going to be tight; the city must spend the federal grant money by April 2017. “It’s a tight deadline, but the project manager for the city is Mike Russett

The community has been pushing for renewal funding for the Manotick arena for more than a year. and he has indicated they can meet the deadline,” Norenius said. The city has already completed a detailed estimate, but it will continue to
finalize detailed design plans this fall and winter so they can hopefully break ground next spring, city staff said. Norenius said he and his group lob-
bied the city for support, but it was the city who ultimately applied for the grant money. “They had a list of city projects and ours was on that list,” he said. The funding is contingent on the completion of a 50/50 cost-sharing agreement between the federal government and the city, according to a statement from Poilievre’s office. “I’m pleased that our contribution will assist with the expansion of the Manotick Arena so that our youth, seniors and families will have a safe place to learn, play and socialize,” Poilievre said. The announcement comes just days ahead of when Prime Minister Stephen Harper was expected to call a federal election.

Stay in, butt out at CTC events, say Senators NO RE-ENTRY
Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
The Canadian Tire Centre is beefing up its security for the upcoming season which, in addition to installing walkthrough metal detectors, means fans won’t be allowed to leave the arena and come back during games, even to smoke a cigarette. Senators Sports and Entertainment made the announcement detailing increased security measures on July 21, saying new technology and new policies will be in place before the NHL pre-season starts in September. The NHL is requiring walk-through metal detectors like those used in airports at all arenas by this upcoming season to screen ticket-holders, said the Senators news release. The detectors will be used for all events at the Canadian Tire Centre, not just games, the organization said. But the Senators decision to change its re-entry policy is not a league mandate, though the league has encouraged it in the past, said Senators Sports and Entertainment president Cyril Leeder. “We’ve been edging this way for a while,” he said.
The policy change means ticket holders cannot leave the arena during an event and expect to return; re-entering the arena with the same ticket will no longer be allowed. “Exceptions will only be made in the case of emergencies,” said the news release. The release makes special mention of smokers, saying they will “be able to smoke in designated areas outside of the venue both before and after games and events,” but that they will not be able to leave the arena to light up during an event and then get back inside “under any circumstances.” With fewer people smoking and complaints about smoke entering the arena, the change in policy is “for the benefit of the greater good,” said Leeder. “If you asked me 10 years ago, the number of people going outside for a cigarette was more than a thousand every game between periods, and now it’s down to 100 or 200 a night, so it’s certainly been in decline,” he said. “This (policy) clearly is one that you may have a few people that don’t like it, but from a security point of view
and from a fresh air point of view, it’s better for the greater good,” said Leeder. The ultimate reason for the policy changes is safety and security, he said, as each time someone re-enters the arena there is another chance to smuggle in something dangerous. “It’s a more secure environment once you’ve screened everybody in and then you have what we call a closed loop at that point,” he said. “You are very sure that there are no firearms, nothing that you should be concerned about in a serious situation within the building, and then any time you are allowing people to leave and come back in, you are exposing yourself to more of those opportunities.” In past years, smokers have had access to a fenced off area on the arena site’s grounds to use during games, but that has been gone for several years, said Leeder and will not be re-introduced. The effort to screen smokers back into the building was also a factor in going with the new policy, he said, with safety being the first consideration, with cost and logistics secondary.

The Senators will be introducing new security measures at the Canadian Tire Centre by Sept. 20, which may irk some smokers.

Riverview Park resident co-authors lupus guide for young people Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Life with lupus can be fabulous. Just ask Jodie Nimigon-Young, who was diagnosed with the chronic illness at 13, and Jessica Kundapur, who was diagnosed at 26. Hoping to inspire teens and young adults by sharing their own personal experiences and give young people information to help them live a fabulous life, the pair have co-authored Fabulupus: How to be young, successful and fabulous (with lupus). The resource guide is the first book of its kind written for young people, said Nimigon-Young. “I wish there was something like this sooner,� said the Riverview Park resident, mother of two and social worker at the Ottawa Hospital. “It would have given me reassurance that everything was going to be OK and someone had been through this before. “That’s kind of the key piece too is that we’re not just adults that have lupus. We’ve gone through all those awkward stages of life with lupus.�
It can be a difficult illness to explain to others. Though commonly characterized by chronic fatigue and arthritis, the illness can affect people differently. “They call it a disease of a thousand faces, which means no two people have exactly the same symptoms,� said Nimigon-Young, who suffers a range of symptoms when her lupus flares up, including exhaustion, breathing difficulties, nose and mouth sores as well as hair loss. Nine in 10 people diagnosed are women. “They still don’t know the cause. They still don’t have a cure. It’s all about management,� said Nimigon-Young, who takes medication and is careful not to overtax herself. Her symptoms began when she was five years old. Though tested for lupus at age eight, it wasn’t until she was 13 that her arthritis, fatigue, chronic back pain, sporadic rashes and nose and mouth sores were diagnosed. While Nimigon-Young said her flares are mild, others may suffer flares that lead to brain or kidney damage. There is much uncertainty about when a flare will strike or
how serious it will be. “I have to live my life and I have to plan my life – as much as I feel great and I haven’t had a flare in over 10 years – as if I may have one at any moment, but at the same time enjoy my life. “You have to prepare for the future without living with a dark cloud over your head,� Nimigon-Young. As a teen and young adult, she was involved with Lupus Canada and Lupus Ontario, serving as the youth contact for young people and their parents across the country. She even started her own support group in her hometown of Toronto. “It was often parents contacting me, not just teenagers calling and asking for help,� Nimigon-Young said. It was through her volunteer work that she connected with Kundapur, a private consultant specializing in ethics around clinical trials. The pair began working on their book eight years ago and released it in January. Every chapter has examples from our own lives on how we navigated complicated situations while living with lupus,� Nimigon-Young said.

egardless what it said in the dictionary, everyone at Northcote called it “thrashing.” Threshing was a foreign word to the farmers who gathered at the homesteads this time of year to separate the grain from the chaff. To us five kids, the day was almost as good as going off to the Renfrew Fair. We didn’t go to school that day. Every hand was needed on the farm. Chores would have to be done before the sun was up on thrashing day, and certainly breakfast over with and the kitchen made ready for 15 or 20 men Mother would be feeding at dinner. Neighbours came when their own chores were out of the way, and they would gather in the barn yard, leaning on their wagons, smoking their pipes and passing the time until Mr. Briscoe with his team of horses pulling the big threshing machine came through the gate. And then it was time. Teams of horses would bring in the sheaves from the fields, feed them into the big machine, once bright red but now faded from the elements. The noise was deafening as the thresher chugged away under the blistering hot sun. My three brothers worked right alongside the men, and when I wasn’t pressed into service in the kitchen, I pulled a chair up to the window, looking out into the barn yard, watching all our neighbours working as one. My sister Audrey had the job of keeping the granite pail of water filled to the brim, with shards of ice from the ice house floating on top. One tin cup would serve all who wanted to stop for a cold drink of water.
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories In the house, the kitchen would be beastly hot. All night the big haunch of beef would be cooking in the oven. The day before thrashing, Aunty who came each year to help, would have turned out eight to 10 pies, and they would be on the bake table, already cut in four. All morning the kitchen buzzed with dinner preparations. The old pine table wouldn’t hold all the men, so three planks stretched across chair backs. The planks were covered with a thick quilt, and then sparkling white flour bag sheets, all to take care of the overflow. Every last plate, cup and saucer, and every piece of cutlery was spread out on the two tables, and it was my job to go outside and into the dark hole under the house which served as a cellar and was the bane of my existence, and bring up at least four different kinds of pickles from the swinging shelves. There was little formality back then. The full jars were put two to a table, with a big serving spoon at each. By the time the CPR clock struck noon, the thrashing machine was closing down. Mother had put two wash basins at the back door, with a new bar of Ivory soap. Each man splashed water on his face, gave it a rub with the huck towel, and handed it off to the next in line. They were far from clean
when they piled into the kitchen, found a place to sit, and awaited the heaping platters and bowls of food. There were creamed potatoes, carrots, turnips, cabbage salad, jugs of gravy, and of course, platters of hot beef and cold sliced roasted pork. Two plates of fresh bread and butter sat at either end of the two tables, with Mother and Audrey at the ready to refill the bowls. No one bothered with clean plates when it came time to dole out the pie. The dinner plates looked like they had been washed in soap and water, wiped clean with thick slices of bread. There was no loitering after the meal. Mr. Briscoe was the first to push his chair back from the table, and I could hear the thrashing machine roar into action, and the work began again.My three brothers and Father had barely enough energy to do the chores afterwards. But the bags upon bags of grain stacked inside the barn, would once again show what it meant to live in a tight community where farmers depended on each other. That, simply, was the way things were done back then. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Ottawa Hospital at forefront of cancer-fighting viral therapy Erin McCracken

The nausea was so severe, she couldn’t eat. She lost all of her hair, developed mouth sores and lost the feeling in her hands and feet. The side effects Christina Monker suffered following more than 30 rounds of chemotherapy were in many ways, she said, just as bad as the anal cancer she has been battling since 2012. She learned in 2013 the disease had spread to both her lungs. But on June 2, the Rockland resident’s bloodstream was infused with a doublebarrel attack team of viruses that researchers and doctors are hoping will kill her cancer, and, at the same time, stimulate her immune system to join in the fight against her tumours and potentially keep them from coming back. “For the next couple of days, I felt like I had the flu, but it was nothing like chemotherapy,” Monker said at a July 10 press conference of the viral therapy. “The symptoms of the virus were short-lived and easily managed.”
Her second treatment with the new therapy, which produced some mild nausea, took place a few days later on June 5. Monker is one of nine patients taking part in the world’s first clinical trial of a new cancer-fighting viral treatment developed by a Canadian team of researchers, some of them right here in Ottawa. At the heart of the treatment is the Maraba virus, first isolated in Brazilian sandflies, and the Adenovirus, a form of the common cold virus. In lab testing, both have been able to trigger a longterm anti-cancer immune response. The Maraba virus has the added knock-out power of being able to replicate inside cancer cells and kill them. Both viruses are being manufactured at the Ottawa Hospital and McMaster University. Over the past 15 years John Bell a senior scientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Centre for Cancer Therapeutics. He has been working on the concept of using virus-
e it your place to play! k a M
es to attack cancer along with David Stojdl, a senior scientist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Canada and associate professor at the University of Ottawa, and Brian Lichty, an associate professor at McMaster University. The therapy involving the Maraba virus and the Adenovirus emerged about four years ago. The potential to help cancer patients, pending the outcome of human trials, is enormous if it works the same way it does on laboratory mice, which have been cured of cancer by the viral super duo. “Mice are pretty much cured in a couple of weeks and then they maintain their long-term cure,” Bell said. However, he added this particular treatment won’t cure all cancer types, but could lead to the development of more viral therapies targeting other cancers. Depending on the results of the $4-million trial, a combination of chemotherapy and viral therapy could be used to treat patients. But Bell’s dream is to completely replace chemo and radiation.

Connected to your community
In which the farmers escape for a week
s you read this, we are gone. Our daughter and her husband are holding down the farm, so to speak. I truly love the 200 acres we have here along the Kemptville Creek, with its uncontested sunsets, lovable farm animals and comforts of home. But I just wanted to get away for a week, to a lake. I could live on a campsite for a week or even longer but the Farmer…not so much. So I went on Kijiji and rented a cottage. We are hosting family and friends, a few at a time, in a big two-storey cedar cottage near Portland on the Big Rideau. The scent of warm cedar surrounds you as you walk up onto the porch. Just the words “Big Rideau” make me think of my dad and all the boating we did there. His
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife handwriting is still on the charts that mark safe passage through the waterways. He has marked good spots to swim and stop for lunch – he wasn’t really into fishing. The Farmer will have to find the fishing holes on his own. I am going to be spending my time reading a few good books, taking long walks and swimming / floating in the lake. It’s not easy to leave a farm for a week, especially when you have dependent farm animals. At the moment, the cows pretty much take care of themselves, as long as the
water is running. They have access to four pasture fields and I think the hay is plentiful. Our ten calves spend their days huddled together for their afternoon nap in a kindergarten circle, guarded by one assigned cow. Or they spend their energy playing King of the Castle on the manure hill. Someone has to walk over to the barn once a day, however, just to ensure that water fountain is still operational. If it isn’t, they need barrels filled with the garden hose, twice a day. If you step into the barn-
yard with the bull, however, you must carry a big stick. I left that in the care and feeding instructions. The cats can last a few days in the house before they need their food and water refilled but the outdoor barn cats need to be fed every day. If we leave too much food outside, we might attract unwanted company, like a skunk. Or a raccoon. Or a BEAR. Cody, our 16-year-old, geriatric Gordon Setter, needs to be fed at least once a day, and checked carefully to ensure he has not spilled all his water and tangled his chain in his long fur. I mean, honestly. He’s hopeless. Chelsea, the suspicious, yappy sheepdog, needs to be fed by a man. And it should be a man she knows quite well. She is not fond of women, children or strangers.
PET OF THE WEEK
Anastasia has discovered this fact the hard way, about seven years ago. She was still in highschool at the time. Always the first one out of bed and therefore the first one ready to go in the morning, Annie had a little extra time on her hands so she offered to feed the sheepdog. Off she went to the barn, cup of kibble in her hand. As she squatted down to dump the kibble into Chelsea’s bowl, she turned and looked the little dog in the eye. Then, in her high-pitched, teenaged girl voice, she said, “there you go Chelsea! Eat it all up!” Chelsea, being accustomed only to the Farmer, had never heard anything quite like it. She was also confused as to why Anastasia was lingering between her and the food bowl. The Farmer usually deliv-
ers the food, pats the dog on the head and walks away. I guess she suddenly felt threatened, and trapped, so she snapped. She flew at Anastasia, teeth bared, and if it wasn’t for the huge pouf of hair extensions that Annie had attached to her head in a ponytail, there would have been an injury, for sure. She never offered to feed that “crazy-ass sheepdog” again. Now, fast forward 7 years and our little Annie is pregnant with her first child. She won’t be allowed to lift the chick feed bags on her own, even though she is more than able, so Andrew will be doing most of the work. It’s just as well, because knowing Annie she will encounter the one chicken who takes offence to her greeting or mannerisms and decides to peck her in the leg.
Pet Adoptions
DiamOnD (iD#a180524)
Meet Diamond (ID#A180524), a happy, active girl who can’t wait to accompany you on your summer adventures. This lively Siberian husky is full of puppy energy, so she would love a home with a big yard to play in. She’s an inquisitive girl who loves to learn new things and would benefit from a family experienced with her breed to help with her training. Diamond would enjoy an adult home with a routine she can come to expect. She would prefer to be the only pet in the home until she learns to share her things with other animal friends. Could you be Diamond’s happilyever-after? For more information on Foldger and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.

and gets to the heart of at least a big part of what we do. After all, animals can’t be their own advocates. They rely on us, and you, to be their voices, whether it be at a protest march, or in a letter to the editor, or at a city committee.
What we forgot was to add that we also need to ask for those who can’t ask for themselves. On behalf of the animals, we ask you to volunteer your time, we ask you to write those letters, and we ask you for money. Dogs can’t send out mail appeals, cats put on terrible
