Michèle Vinet will present a series of creative-writing workshops in Manotick.

News - Built heritage in the rural area needs more attention, said Coun. Scott Moffatt, so he’s considering planning a forum to open that discussion. The idea is very preliminary, but a forum discussion and possibly educational workshops could be held as early as this spring, Moffatt said.

He originally brought up the idea to be included as part of the public consultation process for Manotick’s secondary plan, a land-use strategy that will outline how the village will develop. The Rideau-Goulbourn councillor’s recent experience of requesting the Falls House in Manotick village be added to the city’s heritage register opened his eyes to opportunities to recognize and preserve important historic buildings.

Adding the home at 5514 Manotick Main St. to the heritage register isn’t the same as designating it as a heritage building. Being on the registry means that if the owner wanted to demolish the building, it would receive more scrutiny from the city’s built heritage committee before a permit could be issued to tear it down. The listing flags it to be considered for a heritage designation before it’s demolished. “Five or six years from now, if someone comes forward with a demolition application, it would trigger a heritage designation consideration and give a 60-day reprieve from demolition,” Moffatt said in November, when the Falls House was added to the list. “It’s a way to protect a home without going through the whole designation process.”

Options like heritage register listing are underused in the rural areas, Moffatt said.

“I think maybe there are more active groups in the urban area,” he said.

There are numerous active historical societies in the rural areas, but they tend to focus more on the stories that make up the area’s heritage than on designating important buildings, Moffatt said.

“It’s not an onerous process,” he said, referring to the heritage register listing. “Maybe that’s needed in other communities.”

Heritage Ottawa and other local organizations might have an interest in the forum as plans evolve.

Write On: workshops to fundraise for Burmese refugees Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Michèle Vinet, an Ontario Trillium award winning author will return to Manotick on Jan. 28 to kick off a series of four creative writing workshops.

The workshops will raise money for the St. James Anglican’s church’s refugee project. The project aims to raise $35,000 to bring a family to Ottawa from a Thailand refugee camp. The family was driven out of Burma by the

Myanmar army.

Vinet, a resident of the Hunt Club area, said she has given workshops to young and old.

She visited the church in Manotick to give workshops to local teachers, where she talked about teaching at Joliette Penitentiary for women.

Joan Bowler, one of the fundraising organizers, said the talk whetted the appetite for writing among residents. “She generously offered to give the series again as a fundraiser for our refugee family,�

Bowler said.

Vinet won the 2012 Trillium French fiction award for her book Jeudi Novembre, published by Editions Prise de parole. She is a prolific writer and currently has three manuscripts awaiting word from publishing companies – a novel, a short story and a collection of poems. She said the first thing she tries do when teaching is to demystify the act of writing. “I talk a lot about being a child and the desire to write,� she said. “Those skills can last a lifetime.�

Vinet does most of her writing when she is out in the world. She said she can’t get inspired by staring at a computer screen.

She said she encourages people to let their ideas flow naturally when trying to write.

“I often look at the page and see if it has anything to say,� Vinet said.

The four workshops will be two hours each and run every Tuesday starting on Jan. 28 at the St. James Church hall on Bridge Street from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30. Registration for the

series is $40.

Bowler said the workshops tend to be progressive and she recommends participants plan to be available for all four classes.

Hospital opens employee wellness centre Healthy living and fitness centre to help relieve staff stress Steph Willems Steph.willems@metroland.com

STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND

Queensway Carleton Hospital president and CEP Tom Schonberg speaks at the opening of the hospital’s new employee wellness centre on Jan. 15.

News - Underneath the many floors of clinics, operation rooms and patient quarters at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, a new space has been created to alleviate the stress of the floors above.

On Jan. 15, hospital staff and administrators cut the ribbon on a new employee wellness centre, turning an unused space in the hospital’s lower level into a place for de-stressing and personal improvement.

Open to employees, volunteers and contractors, the wellness centre was an idea three years in the making. “Finally, the day is here,� said Rona Hamilton, vice-

president of human resources at the QCH. “Having this venue‌allows employees to get rid of stress and strain in their daily lives.â€?

Use of the Wellness Centre, which will offer treadmills and spin machines as well as programming of healthy living, will be offered to eligible patrons for a nominal fee.

Hamilton said the idea had strong backing and leadership from the hospital’s physicians group, and received monetary assistance from Coughlin and Associates, the hospital’s em-

ployee benefits administrator. “Fitness Depot provided a major discount on equipment that was significant for us,� said Hamilton.

Brian Bockstael, president of Coughlin and Associates, attended the opening of the wellness centre to deliver another gift – a $5,000 donation to be used as the room’s budget. “To cover new costs,� said Bockstael, handing the cheque to Hamilton’s surprised management team.

Tom Schonberg, president and CEO of QCH, thanked

Coughlin for their support. “These folks from Coughlin have been very generous,� he said. “Coughlin has been a strong supporter of QCH in a number of projects, including our annual (fundraising) golf tournament. This means a lot to us.� Schonberg added that research backs up the perceived benefits of an on-site wellness centre, with studies showing improvements in health, teamwork and productivity amongst employees.

Carbon monoxide detectors donated to the Barrhaven’s newest fire station Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Residents can now better arm themselves against the silent killer, thanks to new provincial legislation and a donation by the Insurance Bureau of Canada.

Ernie Hardeman, the MPP for Oxford, made a stop at Barrhaven’s newest fire station at Greenbank and Cambrian roads on Jan. 14 to talk about the Hawkins Gignac Act, which makes it mandatory for all homes in Ontario

to have carbon monoxide detectors.

Hardeman said Barrhaven was his 15th stop since the bill become law in November.

Each time he was accompanied by a gift from the Insurance Bureau of Canada – 100 carbon monoxide detectors, worth approximately $60 each.

Lisa MacLeod, MPP for Nepean-Carleton, said Hardeman fought tirelessly for the bill that would “save people’s lives.�

The private members bill

was first introduced in 2008, following the death of Laurie Hawkins (nĂŠe Gignac), her husband Richard Hawkins and their children Cassandra and Jordan. “The family went to the hospital complaining about flu-like symptoms and were sent home,â€? Hardeman said, adding a blocked vent in the fireplace was what caused the carbon monoxide poisoning and ultimately took their lives.

When inhaled, it inhibits the blood’s ability to absorb

and transport oxygen throughout the body.

Eventually, vital organs including the brain are deprived of oxygen and become damaged. Minor symptoms can include nausea, headaches and dizziness.

It can also cause vomiting and unconsciousness.

Four Ottawa residents were taken to hospital after exposure to the invisible gas and a Sandy Hill apartment complex was evacuated on Jan. 5 because of carbon monoxide Hardeman said the numbers show that there are 12 deaths in Ontario every year due to the silent killer. “It doesn’t sound like a whole lot, but it means in the

five years it has taken me to get the bill pass 60 people have died,� he said.

Before the law was passed, only homes built after 2001 were required to have a carbon monoxide detector. Now all homes will have one.

Bay Ward Coun. and chair of the community and protective services committee, Mark Taylor, said the city will find homes for all of the donated carbon monoxide detectors. “As fire services go to schools or other community events they will be informing residents about the need for detectors,� Taylor said.

Sean Tracey, the assistant deputy fire chief, said fire services is still working out how

tribute the donated detectors. “They will definitely be in homes before their expiry date,� he said.

Hardeman said the law helps to clear up who’s responsible for the installation of the device in a landlordtenant relationship. “Before it was put into law, no one was sure who needed to put one in, landlords often thought it was the tenants responsibility and vice versa,� he said.

Part of the bill deals with an awareness week around first responder personnel. “The point is to get the message out there and prevent further tragedies,� he said.

Annual day of good deeds lends a helping hand to local charities jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A Nepean family is pitching in to help those less fortunate.

Warren and Linda Melamed will be chairing the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s annual Mitzvah Day. The day, designed to lend a helping hand to local charities, encourages residents to participate in a series of “mitzvots” or good deeds.

This year the event will start at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre of on Feb. 9 with a breakfast at 8:30 a.m.

Warren said the family has been active as volunteers in the Jewish community for many years, but this is the first time they have chaired Mitzvah Day. “We want to teach our children the importance of giving back to the community,” Linda said.

Their sons Jacob, 16, and Michael, 13, will be organizing the extreme football challenge.

Aimed at youth aged 12 to 17, the challenge will have raise money for the Pulmonary Hypertension Associa-

tion of Canada.

“Michael will get on Facebook and drum up interest to get players,” Linda said.

A new event this year will be the decoration of recycle bins and planters to be filled with plants and used to decorate Jewish facilities and agencies across the city.

Another new event will be collecting gently used hockey equipment for the Canada Israel Hockey School.

The school is located in the Canada Centre in Metulla in the very north of Israel. It’s the only ice rink in Israel.

“Because there’s not a whole lot of opportunity to learn the sport, equipment is quite hard to get a hold of,” Warren said.

It’s all about connections, Warren said, adding it’s good when people get a chance to see the good their time and donations do.

This year a soldier from the Israeli army will be on hand to talk to participants about the importance of a JFO program called Letters to lone soldiers.

“It’s an initiative where residents can write to soldiers who have no family,” Warren said, adding the soldier talk-

ing to residents on Feb. 9 was a recipient of past letters.

Most of the mitzvots take place at the community centre, but participants also get a chance to prepare a meal at the Shepherds of Good Hope or the Kosher Food Bank.

Good deeds organized for this year include: • A CPR course • Locks of Love • Hillel Lodge: sing a long • Hillel Lodge: craft • Letters to lone soldiers • Decorate a tzedakah box • Extreme football challenge • Cards for sick kids • Sandwich making for the Ottawa Mission • Decorate planters and recycle bins • Preparing food for the Kosher Food Bank • Preparing meals for the Shepherds of Good Hope • Cook and bake meals for families undergoing life-altering situations • Toy Drive • Gift wrapping For a complete list of acSUBMITTED tivities and registration, www.

The joke’s on the voters

W

inston Churchill once remarked that democracy is the worst form of the government ... except for all the others.

The superiority of democracy as a system of government rests on the bedrock of freely held elections, which allow anyone to put their name forward as a candidate, whatever their race, creed, sex or religion or point of view.

In Canada, anyone can grow up to run in a municipal, provincial or federal election. But sometimes they shouldn’t. Case in point, Ottawa’s upcoming municipal election. Every four years, Elections Ottawa takes in a flood of applications from those wishing to run as trustees, councillors or as mayor.

During the 2010 municipal election, 20 candidates put their names forward to run as mayor, which is wonderful, so long as all of them are legitimate candidates, not one-issue wonders, hoping to use the campaign trail as an opportunity to highlight their cause du jour. Even worse, some candidates decide to enter the race as “a joke,� having no serious expectation or even interest of winning the election.

We’re only about a month into the nine-month election campaign trail, but we’ve already come

across one. George Marko, now running for councillor of Gloucester-Southgate, who now says he is going to take the campaign seriously, but originally registered as a “joke.�

Joke candidates are at best an amusing distraction and at worst an opportunity to muddy the waters for the electorate, who, for the most part, would prefer to focus their limited time and attention on the platforms of legitimate candidates.

It only costs $100 to $200 and a few minutes of time filling out form at the city services desk to qualify someone to run as trustee, councillor or mayor.

On the other hand, the electorate is stuck with these joke and one-issue candidates for a year, enduring their presence in dozens of debates, all-candidates meetings, radio interviews and the election coverage provided by the media.

Instead of registering as a candidate, we would suggest one-issue candidates find a more productive use for their time and their money, perhaps as donations to a charitable cause, or as a campaign contribution for a legitimate candidate who supports their cause.

We should put up a sign: “Wanted: municipal representatives. Only serious candidates need apply.�

Can you ban smoking if it isn’t?

L

ife conspires to make itself more complicated. For example: just when society had drastically reduced the number of people who smoke, just when millions of people had gone successfully through the agony of quitting – well, along comes someone with an invention that says people can smoke again without the risks of actually smoking.

This is the electronic cigarette, getting more and more publicity every day. Last week e-cigarettes were smoked on the Golden Globes telecast. So disturbed were a number of U.S. senators that they sent out a letter blasting the organizers for glamourizing smoking. People are taking this seriously.

It is a strange thing to become a public policy issue – a battery operated thingy that draws steam through a fluid cartridge that could contain nicotine, but also could taste like chocolate or just about any other flavour.

There’s no smoke, just steam. It’s pretend smoking – a Wii cigarette – yet people are up in arms about it.

You can sort of see why. It’s estimated that one third of smokers have tried e-cigarettes, and eight per cent of the population generally. Here, electronic cigarette booths are cropping up in shopping centres and people

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town are stopping to have a look. So we know that the things have the potential to be popular.

We just don’t know how popular and whether they’re harmful or not.

That’s why the debates about whether to keep the smoking of e-cigarettes out of public places are so peculiar.

The city of Chicago has already moved to do this. Yet there are those who say that the city of Chicago is working against something that may help people quit smoking real cigarettes.

Because that’s one of the arguments in favour of e-cigarettes – that they will help people give up smoking more effectively than patches, nicotine gum and the rest of the stop-smoking apparatus. Meanwhile, there is no second-hand smoke to bother people in

the vicinity. So banning e-cigarettes in public places would be like banning soup, the argument goes.

The counter-argument – and this is what must make city councillors’ brains hurt – is that the smoking of e-cigarettes will eventually lead to the smoking of real cigarettes.

E-cigarettes are a kind of gateway drug, in other words. We’ve heard that argument in relation to other substances and it is a persuasive one.

In the jargon, what critics are saying is that allowing e-cigarettes to be smoked in public places will “re-normalize� smoking.

Over the past decades, smoking has been made abnormal: the percentage of people who smoke has declined dramatically. It is about 20 per cent now in this country. It was 27 per cent 15 years ago, and a whopping 61 per cent 50 years ago.

Some of that change happened because cigarettes became very expensive. Some of it happened because people just smartened up.

But some of it happened because smoking was no longer normal – you didn’t light up in someone’s dining room anymore; you didn’t light up in the movies or on an airplane; you didn’t light up in a shopping centre; you didn’t light up at work, unless you stepped

out onto the street. That didn’t feel normal either.

Will all those gains be lost because you can now smoke something that looks like a cigarette but isn’t and doesn’t in fact emit smoke? Perhaps it depends on how normal it looks.

The e-cigarette is, according to one manufacturer, “an integrated structure made up of a cartridge, an atomization chamber, a smart chip controller and a built-in lithium battery.�

That seems weird.

But then, weirdness has never been an absolute deterrent. Talking to yourself on the street looked weird, until people got used to the look of cellphones.

You don’t want to be a city councillor when this one comes around. Are you saving the public or just banning weirdness?

Centrepointe Theatre to continue focus on family program for 2014 Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Centrepointe Theatre is growing, said artistic manager Allan Sansom.

The theatres annual report shows that 2013 had a 25 per cent increase in booking for the studio theatre’s than the previous year.

Five of the seven shows booked for 2013-14 theatre season have sold out, with ones in the new year offering

promising ticket sales as well.

Sansom credited the success to the focus on family programming. “It’s part of making Centrepointe a cultural hub for the west end,� Sansom said, adding that if kids make a habit of coming to theatre in their youth, then they will keep going as adults.

One of the sold out shows was the Kratt Brothers, who are well known for their television shows Kratts Crea-

tures, Zoboomafoo and most recently Wild Kratts. Sansom said the Centrepointe featured reptile displays as an added value. “We hope to have the Kratt brothers back next year,� Sansom said.

Kids will have a chance to get on the stage themselves with a Jan. 25 workshop called Kick it Kids. Tickets are $5 and a local dance troupe teaches moves to local youth.

IODE Walter Baker Chapter celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2013 News - IODE, formerly called Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, is a national women’s charitable organization that was founded in 1900. IODE Walter Baker Chapter received its charter in 1988 and is currently one of four primary chapters that serve the Ottawa area.

For the past 25 years, this group of like-minded women volunteers continues to dedicate their time to a better Canada. Their mission is to

enhance the quality of life for individuals, through education support, community services, and citizenship programs.

Highlights of the Chapter’s 25 years of service include the following donations to the following organizations: CHEO, Queensway Carleton Hospital, Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, Ottawa Carleton Association for Persons with Developmental Disabilities, The Ottawa Mission, Cornerstone Women’s Shelter, Nel-

son House, Chrysalis House, Carty House, Interval House, The Shepherds of Good Hope, Camp Merrywood, The Youville Centre, Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School, Maurice Grimes Lodge, Perley Rideau Veteran’s Health Centre, Deer Lake First Nations School in Deer Lake, Ontario, as well as several local schools and Food Banks.

In 2013, group initiated a children’s literacy program

called ‘Own a Book … Share a Book’ with Robert E. Wilson Public School. Located in Vanier, this school serves a wide diversity of families, including new immigrants as well as Ottawa’s only all-Inuit kindergarten.

With input from their teachers, each kindergarten child received a book of their special interest to keep, and an identical book remained in the school library.

The IODE’s goal is to pro-

mote and encourage literacy at a young age, as a new book for a child can lead to a lifetime filled with the joys of reading.

At their recent fall fundraiser fashions show, held on Nov. 7, 2013, they raised $9,000, and were pleased to donate $5,000 to their focus recipient ‘Operation Veteran’. This organization provides meals for veterans, and enables the Canadian War Museum to promote educational outreach across Canada. Chapter meet-

ings are held monthly on the third Thursday, September through June, 1 p.m. Interested women of any age and background are most welcome to attend a meeting and join in the fun.

For more information please check out the chapter website www.iodewalterbaker.weebly.com or email us at iodewbc@gmail.com.

Barrhaven family to walk Ham and macaroni ‘pie’ can be a meal or a side dish in support of Gammie Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Marianne Morrison is walking for memories on Jan. 26.

The Barrhaven resident and retired nurse cared for her mother, now 92, for three years before placing her in long-term care facility. Her mother had Alzheimer’s disease.

Beverly, Morrison’s mother, moved to Ottawa from Victoria after the death of her second husband.

The picture wasn’t clear right away, Morrison said.

“She seemed forgetful and anxious, but we chalked it up to the move and the death of her partner,” she said.

The first clue came from the coffee machine.

“She couldn’t remember how to make coffee even though I bought this super simple one for her to use,” Morrison said. “It really made her frustrated and anxious.”

After a few more mishaps, like putting something in the microwave for 40 minutes, Morrison said she urged her mother to see the doctor.

“He prescribed some pills that helped her sleep, and that

helped some, but he recommended further testing,” she said.

Although her mother resisted further testing, Morrison said she started to go to information sessions provided by the Alzhemier Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County to learn more.

“I felt as a healthcare professional I needed more information,” Morrison said. “But there were laypeople there as well and it reminded me other people are going through this too.”

By the time the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia came, Morrison said she had decided to retire to care for her mother full time. At the same time, her mother-in-law, now deceased, was diagnosed with the disease.

Morrison describes the time as incredibly stressful as she tried to balance her family life and her mother’s care.

She said support from the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County was invaluable. They helped to connect her with the Community Care Access Centre which linked her to resources.

She said she was also grate-

ful for the society’s first link program, which checks in on caregivers who may be in need of support.

“I would receive a call out of the blue every six months or so reminding me I also had to take care of myself,” Morrison said.

Last year, just before getting her mother placed in a long-term care facility better equipped to deal with her medical needs, Morrison and her husband opted to participate in the Walk for Memories. It’s the society’s largest annual fundraiser, with hundreds turning out to the field house at Carleton University to support those who are dealing with the disease and to remember those who have been lost.

“It was great to connect with people and get advice and share our story,” Morrison said. “It felt good to be doing something to help.”

Debbie Seto, a spokesperson for the society, said this year’s fundraising goal is $275,000. Funds raised will stay in Ottawa and Renfrew County.

Lifestyle - Baked macaroni, or pie as it’s called in the Caribbean, is standard daily fare.

Here ham is added to make this a casserole that can be served as a light meal or side dish.

Preparation time: 25 minutes.

Cooking time: eight minutes. Baking time: 40 to 45 minutes.

Serves: six to eight.

INGREDIENTS

• 250 g (8 oz) elbow pasta (about 375 ml/1-1/2 cups) • 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter • 500 ml (2 cups) shredded old cheddar cheese (about 125 g/4 oz) • 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) cubed ham (about 250 g/8 oz) • 2 eggs • 370 ml (1 can) two per cent evaporated milk • 1 small onion, finely chopped • 5 ml (1 tsp) dry mustard • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each salt and pepper PREPARATION

In a large saucepan of

boiling, salted water, cook the pasta according to package the directions – typically about eight minutes.

Drain well and return the pasta to the pot. Stir in the butter until it’s melted. Add 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) of the cheese a bit at a time, mixing well after each addition. Next, stir in the ham. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk. Add the onion, mustard, salt and

pepper and stir it into the pasta mixture. Spread everything into a greased 2 L (eight-cup) baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the mixture is set and the top is lightly browned.

Let it stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Marguirite gets her pay back for being a show off

L

ifestyle - It was the year bad Marguirite appeared at the Northcote School all decked out in a white fur coat.

She vowed it was the most expensive fur you could buy, but my brother Emerson and his best friend Cecil, after examining it closely, said it was nothing but plain rabbit.

The very thought of the number of precious little rabbits, which I loved with a passion, who had lost their fur to make that coat, was enough to turn my stomach!

And certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything to make me like Marguirite any better!

It was also the year we had more snow than anyone could remember. It was banked all around the school yard.

And at the back, where a board fence separated the yard from the open-air rink, the Senior Fourth boys had piled the snow high, creating a slide that only went downwards about six or seven feet, but it was enough to give us lots of fun at recess, sliding down on our bottoms, or on opened-up flat cardboard boxes the boys had hauled from Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gener-

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories al Store. That day wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any different from any other inside the one-room school house.

Miss Crosby ran the place like an army general, and even though Marguirite wanted to keep her coat on, Miss Crosby wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t having any of that nonsense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll smell of cow byre,â&#x20AC;? Marguirite said, glaring at the boys who had to milk cows before coming to school.

But one look from Miss Crosby told her to get it off and hang it on a hook at the back of the room just like everyone else.

We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for recess.

The half hour would be spent sliding down the mound of snow in the school yard, and Miss Crosby had warned the Senior Fourth boys that everyone got a turn or they would suffer her wrath when recess was over.It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long

for us girls to get on our snow suits, galoshes, hats and mitts, and the boys into their heavy jackets and gum rubbers, let me tell you!

Well, there she stood at the bottom of the little mound, looking for all the world like an orphan as the rest of us careened down the little hill, squealing with delight all the way.

And just before we were heading out, Miss Crosby caught Marguirite by her sleeve and told her she had had a note from her Mother,

and there was no sliding down the hill for her in her white fur coat!

Well, there she stood at the bottom of the little mound, looking for all the world like an orphan as the rest of us careened down the little hill, squealing with delight all the way. Both Emerson and Cecil were standing at the top, and as soon as anyone fell to the mound to begin the slide, they gave a good push and away we went like a bullet, landing in the soft snow at the bottom.

I was immediately suspicious of Emerson and Cecil, after they had whispered, grinned from ear to ear, and invited Marguirite to have a slide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about your coat. You can sit on this big piece of cardboard, and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even touch the snow.â&#x20AC;?

Well, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for Marguirite to scurry up the mound, grab a hold of the upper board of the rink fence and prepare herself to sit down on the cardboard the boys had put in place.

Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when all heck broke loose!

Just as she was lowering herself, Cecil grabbed the box tossing it aside, Emer-

son gave Marguirite a mighty push, and down she went, fur coat and all, to the bottom of the mound, screaming all the way. When she stopped, the coat was up around her neck, the fur hat was nowhere to be seen, and that day she had on blue fleeced lined bloomers like the rest of us.

She went roaring into the school like someone possessed.

By the time recess was over, Miss Crosby had the coat draped over a chair by the stove, and Cecil had brought in the white fur hat and handed it to the teacher saying with a voice like sugar â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marguirite must have lost this.â&#x20AC;? Well, that was the end of the white fur coat at the Northcote School.

Joyce said it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look any the worse for wear when Marguirite came prancing into the United Church the next Sunday wearing it, and the hat.

And even if Miss Crosby knew what had happened outside at the snow slide, she said nothing. My older and wiser sister Audrey said Miss Crosby probably wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any more impressed with the white fur coat than were the rest of us at the Northcote School.

Soggy city Range Road showed signs of flooding near Strathcona Park during a warm snap on Jan. 11. The weather, which switched from freezing rain to rain in the afternoon forced the National Capital Commission to close the Rideau Canal Skateway and city workers to attempt to open up city drains in areas prone to flooding, like streets in Sandy Hill.

Meet Kenny (A163947), a neutered, one-yearold male tricolour Australian cattle dog and pointer mix who is waiting for a new forever home. Could you be the right match for him?

Kenny is a fun-loving pup who loves to be outside and active. This dog is up for adventure!

Kenny would do best in a home with a forever family experienced with his breed and with children older than 12. He would love the chance to go to puppy school to perfect his doggy manners so he can be the best fourlegged family member possible!

•The most common reasons for mis-timing or reducing doses were low blood sugar levels and attempting to reduce the risk of having a hypoglycemic event.

• Patients are also losing sleep over the guilt they feel with missed dosing, as six in ten Canadian patients surveyed said they worry about missing the occasional insulin dose, and seven in ten feel guilty when they do.

• The good news is that it is never too late to take action to prevent or manage hypoglycemia. Here are three tips to prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia: • Test blood sugar levels before bed.

• If the test shows low blood sugar levels, some recommendations for leveling out glucose levels include: bedtime snacks such as 15grams of carbohydrates or a glucose tablet, a glass of milk or a glass of orange juice.

• Talk to your healthcare professionals to learn how to identify and reduce the risk of nighttime hypoglycemia.

Patients should talk to their doctor about new insulin therapy options to help manage nocturnal hypoglycemia.

News - Rather than reflecting on their day or thinking about tomorrow’s tasks, Canadians with diabetes who take insulin, getting ready for a good night’s sleep can be a challenge because every night they must prepare their bodies to rest without food or insulin intake for a prolonged period of time.

Without the proper balance of insulin before bed, they can experience nocturnal hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar (or glucose) levels drop. It can cause confusion, loss of consciousness and even result in death. “Testing blood sugar throughout the day is necessary to maintain a constant healthy blood sugar level, but during sleep hours, it is difficult to test. For people living with diabetes, nocturnal hypoglycemia can be daunting,” said Dr. Woo, endocrinologist, Health Sciences Centre. “Sleep is an important indicator into how a person will perform throughout the day so whenever my patients and I are discussing treatment options, I always take into account the patient’s lifestyle to insure they are using a treatment that will work within their routine as well as allow them to get the sleep that they need.” According to a recent survey of diabetes patients and their healthcare providers revealed that: • More Canadian patients worry about experiencing a hypoglycemic

The older animals are healthy but beyond some people’s “best before” date. We think that they are great pets with years of health and love to give ahead of them. As we say about the older animals, “It takes a long time to get this sweet.” Moreover, the older animals tend to be quieter and more predictable than the bouncing balls of fur some people
