Supporting the hometown stars Ottawa is hosting the 2012 NHL All-Star Weekend from Jan. 26 to 29 and local politicians gathered for a rally on Jan. 3 to encourage fans to vote for local players. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches and his son, Bennett, joined the push. Four Senators, forwards Daniel Alfredsson, Jason Spezza and Milan Michalek and defenceman Erik Karlsson were voted to the starting lineup. Voting closed at midnight on Jan. 4.

EMC news - Ottawa police Chief Vern White is one of seven new senators appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Jan. 6. White’s three-year tenure as the city’s chief of police will end on Feb. 20, when he will take a seat in the Senate. In a statement, Mayor Jim Watson said, “I want to congratulate Chief White on his appointment and thank him

for his service to our city. “Vern has worked tirelessly to improve safety for all of our citizens and this has been reflected in declining crime rates. He is a community builder and I look forward (to) having an Ottawa voice in the Senate of Canada.” Before joining the Ottawa Police Service on May 22, 2007, White, a Kanata resident, was police chief in Durham Region. Before that, he spent 20 years in Canada’s

north with the RCMP. For White, who often refers to his modest upbringing in Cape Breton, the Senate opportunity came as a surprise. It wasn’t something he sought out, the chief said, even when he was making statements in support of Conservative platforms such as scrapping the long-gun registry or arguing against safe-injection sites. “I’ve been non-partisan my whole life,” White said. He has never been a mem-

ber of a political party or supported any campaigns, and any politically-tinged statements have been his own views, in the context of his beliefs about policing, he said. White said he couldn’t pass up the chance to join the Senate and make a difference at a different, more national level. But he admits that his new role will be a significant change. “This will be a huge shift in the way I do business,” White said. White’s views will have an impact at a different level, but when it comes to his local

Proud partners with

community, he said he will be even more involved. “This job (as chief) as been more than a full-time role,” White said. “Maybe I’ll have more room on my desk to do those other things more fully.” West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, chairman of the police services board, said the city is losing a leader who worked hard to build a better police force. “He has been a great chief,” El-Chantiry said. “He has cared for our city.” See ANNOUNCEMENT on page 7 287785-1030

said when firefighters arrived on the scene, the man was no longer on fire. “Security personnel had extinguished the man,” he said. The man, who was found on the second level of the parking garage, had severe burns to most of his body, but had remained conscious as he was transported to hospital. He died later that night. Police say there is no foul play involved in the incident. The man’s identity has not been released.

During the workshop kids will make a ‘quinzee,’ a temporary shelter made from a pile of snow left to solidify into a heat-retaining globe. They will let their pile of snow “bond” for several hours and then dig a hole through it to make room to sit. “It holds the heat and you can spend the night in it,” Moores explained. Although Braddish Billings, who immigrated to Gloucester Township from the United States during the War of 1812, would have likely already had a log cabin built before the winter, other settlers in the area could have relied on similar structures during the settlement of the Ottawa area, Moores said. Miller will also teach teens how to snowshoe, a skill the Billings family definitely used to get around in winter. The kids will then learn to make their own fire and boil pine needle tea, a brew rich in vitamins A and C that can help someone survive if they’re lost in the wilderness. Of course, if the tea isn’t enough to sustain the teens the museum will also serve hot beverages and snacks once the workshop is finished. The workshop is $15 per person and advance registration is required. Billings Estate is located at 2100 Cabot St. and can be reached at 613247-4830. For more information visit www.ottawa.ca/museums.

aged six to 12 can beat PA day boredom at the city-run museum where they will “play the heritage way” and learn about Ottawa’s pioneers who lived in the area many winters ago through crafts, games and outdoor activities. Education officer Ashley Moores said some activities at the day camp will depend on the weather, but could include a bonfire and tobogganing. Heritage crafts and games will round out the day. She said the camp is a great way to experience the unique 180-year-old home, located off Pleasant Park Road and Riverside Drive, before parents start signing kids up for summer activities. “We have such success with our summer programming, but there’s not a lot of opportunity to come out in the winter when families only have two days on the weekend,” she said. “This gives them a chance to spend a day with us and get a preview of the summer.” The camp runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and costs $10 per child. The following day, the museum will run its first ever Winter Survival Skills day for kids aged 12 and up. From 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 21, local survival expert Chris Miller will show teens how Canada’s first settlers survived during the harsh winters and what they can do to survive if they ever get stuck in the wilderness.

Snow-covered construction materials lay dormant in front of city hall on Jan. 5 as construction of the Rink of Dreams drags on. The rink’s opening has been delayed by about a month, but officials say it will be open in time for the NHL All-Star Weekend events scheduled for Jan. 26 to 29.

Costs rise as Rink of Dreams construction delayed After series of delays, Sens Foundation remains ‘confident’ rink will open for All-Star weekend Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – Anxious ice skaters hoping to hit the Rink of Dreams might be skating on the Rideau Canal before the new rink at city hall. Construction and opening of the rink, which is a partnership between the city and the Sens Foundation, has been delayed by about a month and costs are on the rise. It was originally set to be completed by mid-December and Mayor Jim Watson even hoped to host a new year’s le-

vee there, but even on Jan. 5, snow-covered piles of bricks and dumpsters full of detritus littered the fenced-off site. The Sens Foundation is “confident” the rink will be done in time for the National Hockey League All-Star Weekend from Jan. 26 to 29, said project manager Aaron Robinson. “There is always a chance that something could go wrong,” he said. “Everybody is aware of the importance of the rink.” The delays are a result of a

series of tweaks to the position of the rink on the Laurier Avenue lawn of city hall and deciding which ice-refrigeration unit to use and where to put it, Robinson said. The plan for the rink was approved by city council on June 8, but hand-wringing over the design details pushed construction back by about a month to Oct. 1. “We want to make sure it’s done right,” Robinson said. “It’s going to be there for the next 40 years … . We went through every detail in-

tensely.” Very little of that work was done before council approved the plan, he said, so the design didn’t really get underway until later in the summer. A major challenge was the engineering work needed to ensure the safety of the rink and the parking garage below it, Robinson said. “You just look at it and see grass, but what you don’t see below it is a parking garage,” Robinson said. “It’s very rare to build a rink on top of an

existing parking garage.” The parking garage will end up being the home of the new refrigeration unit for the rink, which was delivered on Jan. 4 – the last major “milestone” in the construction before the rink is completed, Robinson said. Originally, the chilling unit was going

to be housed above ground, but there were worries that it would be noisy, so the plans were changed to move it underground. The ice-surfacing machine will be above ground, and completion of the shelter that will house it is also on the todo list, Robinson said. Once the refrigeration unit is installed and the shelter is built, it is just a matter of testing, building the ice surface and then installing the boards around the rink, Robinson said. Meanwhile, costs have been on the rise. The Rink of Dreams was originally expected to cost $1.2 million, but will now cost slightly more than $2 million, Robinson said. The Sens Foundation will have to cover the increase – the city’s contribution of $250,000 is firm. The city will also be paying around $200,000 per year to operate the rink. Robinson said his discussions with the city have included talk of daily free public skating and occasional special events, but the city is not saying what – or when – skating or programming will be offered at the rink. That information won’t be announced until the official opening of the Rink of Dreams, which has yet to be scheduled, said city spokesman Barre Campbell. But when people are able to skate on the rink, they will be able to enjoy a “unique” feature, Robinson said. The rink’s boards will be clear acrylic laced with colourful LED lights that will glow in patterns.

2012 a year to celebrate for Manotick Legion Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – Turning 70 is no small milestone, and when you’ve been through as much as the Manotick Legion has in its seven decades you’d be celebrating, too. Dances, barbeques, open houses and parade floats are all in the works for 2012 as South Carleton Branch 314’s executive members plan to honour the resilient group as many times as possible. The Manotick branch is a true survivor. Since it was chartered on March 21, 1942, the branch has been homeless almost as long as it was housed in the old Orange Hall at the corner of Ann Street and Beaverwood Road in downtown Manotick. For 27 years, legion members bounced around South Carleton without a permanent place to call home. North Gower’s town

hall, Orange Hall, and post office all served as meeting places, as well as the Manotick Odd Fellows Hall and fire hall. Before Richmond gained its own branch, meetings were also held in its town hall as well as the Kars Orange Hall. At one point the legion even owned the Women’s Institute in Kars but it was in disrepair and needed to be torn down. Of course, many meetings were also held in members’ homes. Finally in 1969, the legion approached the owners of the Manotick Orange Hall at 5550 Ann St. and bought the Boyd Block building from them. They officially moved in on May 24, 1970. The Royal Canadian Legion’s president at the time, Robert Kohaly, was even there to congratulate the branch on its new home. The legion thrived in the Orange lodge, called Harmony

Hall, for 35 years, running many charitable events and activities and even operating several bowling alleys in the basement. In June 2005, however, the 66-year-old building burnt down, leaving the legion yet again without a place to stay. It was a bleak period for the legion at a time when many branches were closing due to lack of membership or funds. All the more reason to celebrate, according to branch president Richard Coles. “(The anniversary) is special, because we almost went

under,” he said. “Now we’re back and we’re a significant part of the local community, and we are recognized by the community. It’s good to have survived and worked through that difficult period.” Branch archivist and longtime member Rich McDonald said the legion pulled through because of community support. “The legion is embedded in the community and backs the community, and when the legion needed the community it was there for us too, during the

rebuild,” he said. Property managers at The Mews plaza across the street gave them office space for “next to nothing” and the Manotick Kiwanis group donated $20,000 towards the new building, which cost approximately $750,000 according to McDonald. Other community groups pitched in as well, along with local politicians, businesses and residents. McDonald said that’s not a surprise, given what the legion does for the community. From running the poppy campaign

to supporting the local seniors centre, minor hockey, aspiring scholars and various charities, the branch is ready to help “almost anybody.” “This is very much a community organization,” McDonald said. The new building was constructed in the old hall’s spot, complete with a full basement where the local cadet core now meets on a regular basis. The legion moved in on Remembrance Day 2008 and hasn’t looked back. “During the rebuild membership had dropped below 200, but in our comeback we have almost doubled our membership (to 370),” Coles said. The legion kicked off its 70th anniversary celebrations on New Year’s Eve with some birthday balloons at their annual dinner dance, and they plan to recreate the excitement of the original charter night with another dinner dance in March. Come springtime, members will host barbecues and they plan to create a 70th anniversary float for the Dickinson Day parade. Any chance they get, they’ll mark the milestone. “Seventy years is significant in any organization, even the 70th birthday for an individual is an important milestone. So it’s a good time to celebrate a longstanding branch,” Coles said.

Not all students happy with new tuition grant

Video contest draws attention to youth mental health Kristy Wallace kristy.wallace@metroland.com

Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news – A new program launched by the provincial government on Jan. 5 will offer a 30 per cent tuition rebate for some post-secondary students, but has others wondering why they’ve been left out in the cold. The Ontario Tuition Grant program was announced in Ottawa at Carleton University by Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi. The government estimates 300,000 post-secondary school students will beneﬁt from the grant, which offers a direct refund of up to $1,600 for university students and as much as $730 for those attending community colleges. The rebates don’t apply to everyone enrolled at an Ontario post-secondary institution, something that has left some students less than happy.

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi announced the Ontario Tuition Grant program at Carleton University on Jan. 5, which will see many students receive a 30 per cent tuition rebate. for the grants, but said it ignores a large number of students. “It is a good start and nice to know they took their campaign promise seriously, but there are a lot of students who do not qualify,” Cooper said. She suggested if the government had made the amount of the grant a bit more modest, it may have been able to cover all students, not just full-time recent high school grads. The program only applies to full-time students who have graduated from secondary school in the past four years, meaning part-time and mature students are not eligible. Students whose parents’ gross income is more than $160,000 are also excluded. “What if you decided not to go to school right away, what

if you are a single mother and can’t take full-time classes, those are the people who need help the most,” Cooper added. “The grant is targeted towards full time students,” said Naqvi. “That has been the focus and that was the commitment we had made during the election.” As it is halfway through the school year, students will be eligible for half of the grant now, while the full amount will be available in September. Students who receive OSAP will be given the refund automatically. Those who are not receiving a government loan must apply for the grant by March 31. For more information or to apply for the grant, students can visit www.ontario .ca/30off.

EMC news – Youth across Ottawa are taking out their video cameras and speaking publically about their personal experiences, and the importance of recognizing youth mental health. “It’s really important to get youth involved, and we’re working to de-stigmatize youth mental illness all the time,” said Tracey Welsh, senior development ofﬁcer with Royal Ottawa Hospital Foundation for Mental Health. Welsh said the video contest launched last year and has be-

come an annual event. Last year, youth across Ottawa submitted both English and French videos that dealt with powerful messages concerning mental health. For example, one of the videos included youth standing in the Byward Market, covered in yellow caution tape. Their mouths were duct taped shut, and youth mental illness stats were written on the tape. “I’m impressed with their courage,” Welsh said of the youth who take part in the contest. The videos gain public attention when the winners are

shown at the foundation’s Inspiration Awards gala, which draws hundreds of people. Last year’s winning videos were played at both an Ottawa 67’s game and an Ottawa Senators game. “These videos have a lot of life,” Welsh said. The contest is open to youth aged 12 to 21, and winners could win prizes of $500 or $2,000. For more information, visit the contest website at contests. youknowwhoiam.com . The deadline is Jan. 27 and online voting will go from Feb. 4 to 11.

The Riverside South rink features a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;puddleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as well as an adjacent boarded rink for playing hockey.

Announcement came as surprise: El-Chantiry From SENATE on page 1

Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major accomplishments while chief included establishing two youth drugtreatment programs, including one in the Village of Carp in El-Chantiryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ward. White agreed that youth drug intervention is a source of pride, but he said his greatest source of pride is simply having served with the men and women on the Ottawa police force. Meeting the challenge of policing Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast geography and wide range of communities is one of his greatest accomplishments as chief, White said, especially the reductions in crime and subsequent community mobi-

lization awards for Vanier and Lowertown. White has also left a mark on the Ottawa police force through his leadership in encouraging his officers to pursue post-secondary education as part of his succession planning for the service, El-Chantiry said. El-Chantiry said he had no inkling that the chief was considering other options, especially after White was shortlisted as a possibility for RCMP commissioner but ultimately stayed in his role with the Ottawa service. White himself said a senatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position is something he never contemplated, even after a shot at RCMP commis-

sioner fell through. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This one here (the Senate position) was different in that â&#x20AC;Ś any consideration had to do with my history with the RCMP,â&#x20AC;? said White, who served on that force for 20 years before leaving as assistant commissioner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved that organization,â&#x20AC;? he added. White got the call asking if he was interested in the Senate seat between Christmas and New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, while he was on holidays. In July of last year, Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract as chief was extended to June of 2015. As for who will succeed White, El-Chantiry said the force is â&#x20AC;&#x153;more (likely) than any other timeâ&#x20AC;? to find an

internal candidate within the Ottawa Police Service to be the next chief, and White agreed. Deputy chiefs Charles Bordeleau and Gilles Larochelle will likely be considered strong candidates for the leadership role, White said. But the chief said he can also think of two superintendants who could step up and take over as chief, although he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t name them. Along with White, Harper announced the appointments of JoAnne Buth, Norman Doyle, Ghislain Maltais, Dr. Asha Seth and Betty Unger, and the intention to appoint Jean-Guy Dagenais when a seat becomes vacant.

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two central branches of the Ottawa Public Library are working to manage pest problems after bed bugs were discovered last month. Library officials said the discovery was initially restricted to dead bugs, larvae and eggs, but last week live specimens were found in a book at the Main Library on Laurier Avenue. Bugs were also discovered in books at the Rideau branch. Elaine Condos, a division manager and manager at the main branch, said her location has had six such incidents in the past year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We record any incidents that are related to bed bug activity,â&#x20AC;? Condos said, adding itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem the library takes â&#x20AC;&#x153;very seriously.â&#x20AC;? With more than 800,000 visitors and more than 900,000 transactions at the main branch in 2011, Condos said that level of bed bug activity is relatively low. When any questionable item is spotted in a book, Condos said it is bagged and inspected. If the item in question turns out to be a bed bug, it is then determined whether the book needs to be disposed of or not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly we would prefer

to not have them, but bed bugs are a reality,â&#x20AC;? Condos said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have spread and are all over the world and public spaces, like libraries.â&#x20AC;? Bed bugs feed off of human blood and can live for up to three months in a small space without needing to feed. The bugs which were rampant in the 1950s, and were largely killed off using the now banned pesticide DDT. Since the ban on DDT pesticides, bed bug infestations have been on the rise not only in Ottawa but across the country. Several new products are currently being considered for introduction into the Canadian market, but have yet to receive federal approval. The Ottawa Public Library are taking precautionary measures which include looking into furniture with harder plastic surfaces that will resist insects such as bed bugs, along with participating in monthly pest control inspections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have isolated incidents and the message is that bed bugs are here to stay and the public library is not immune,â&#x20AC;? Condos said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we are working very proactively to ensure any activity is minimal and we are working closely with Ottawa Public Health who is supportive with the protocols we are following.â&#x20AC;?

Delays mute Rink of Dreams hoopla The city and the Sens Foundation wanted to make a big splash with the Rink of Dreams at city hall, but constructing it has become a bit of a nightmare. The project has already been delayed by a month and if everything runs on time from this point forward, the rink will be open just in time for the NHL All-Star Weekend from Jan. 26 to 29. That’s almost a month after a New Year’s Eve levee the

mayor had hoped to host at the new rink. While the city was once excited to plan media events for the release of drawings of the rink or for the construction groundbreaking, officials are hesitant to talk about how people will be able to use the rink when it’s finally done. The hours of operation and programming won’t be announced until the official rink opening, which has yet to be scheduled.

One has to wonder, if the rink had opened a month ago, whether the city and Sens Foundation would have planned a big, splashy event to announce how residents and visitors could use the rink. Now, they are busy deflecting attention from it. That’s hard to do when half of city councillors’ offices overlook the rink and many councillors post photos of the construction’s progress on the Internet. Now, with the remnants of

the construction site buried under a fresh blanket of snow, the rink’s completion would appear further off then ever. But the end is in sight. The recent delivery of the refrigeration unit needed to make the ice means that all the components are in place. But it still leaves us wondering, “What took so long?” According to the Sens Foundation, there was a lot of hand-wringing and jockeying over the exact position

of the rink, the engineering specifications needed to build the rink on top of an existing parking garage, and the noise and location of the refrigeration until (and which one to buy). That’s fine, but none of those things were up in the air when the project was announced in June. The project’s manager wouldn’t say where those pressures came from, but the fact remains that it took four months to iron out those details, and that’s just from the date city council approved the project. The rink will be done eventually, and it will help extend the outdoor public

skating season in Ottawa for the next 30 or 40 years. In the grand scheme of things, a month’s delay is not a big deal. But when city council and the Sens Foundation decide to make the rink itself into a big deal, it should come as no surprise that the delays leave observers wondering what’s going on. And maybe when the Rink of Dreams is done, we can all shift our focus to the Sens Foundation’s promised neighbourhood “rinks of dreams”: unrefrigerated pads for ice surfaces the foundation has pledged to build in communities across the region.

Timid proprietor of empty space Take that vast wilderness that is Lebreton Flats. Couldn’t it be something? In the ‘90s, there was a proposal to build a baseball stadium there for the Ottawa Lynx. Perfect: accessible to downtown, accessible to public transit, the potential hub of a new entertainment district (as Toronto’s Skydome, now called the Rogers Centre, became). No, said the NCC, for some reason that probably made perfect sense to it at the time. The ballpark moved to Coventry Road, became the hub of nothing, and Lebreton Flats sits waiting, as it has since the ‘60s. Waiting for what? Waiting for somebody to do something beside the Ottawa River. “The one magnificent dimension of this city,” Paquet said, “but we don’t know what to do with it. The timidity of the NCC is the reason things are not happening.” The river, yes. All over North American are cities that have done splendid things with their waterfronts. There walkways, marinas, restaurants, cafés, parks, great strolling places. But in Ottawa, the river is something you drive past, or cycle past — nice to look at as long as you keep your distance. From time to time something resembling a plan surfaces, but people in the capital have learned to be skeptics. If timidity is the problem, the NCC is not the only arm of government suffering from it. Canada has moved past the age where governments were supposed to attempt exciting things and entered an age in which governments cut back on staff and try to save money. So the NCC is not alone in sitting back, doing nothing and gazing out at the river. It makes you wonder what would happen if the NCC let the private sector take over some waterfront development. The idea undoubtedly brings gasps from those who recall Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s musings about rollercoasters at the Port Lands. And it is true that unfettered private development might give us Merivale Road on Lebreton Flats. We might see more fast food outlets than we need and the odd mattress store. But we might at least see an attempt to build a waterfront that people can use. Or do we prefer vast empty space?

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Every time you drive downtown on the Ottawa River Parkway or take the bus along the Transitway, you pass through a vast empty space. On the north side of the vast empty space is the War Museum. On the east side is a nondescript apartment building. The rest is just vast and we have the National Capital Commission to thank for this. The thought arises because of an interview given by Gilles Paquet, a scholar at the University of Ottawa and the leader of a panel that reviewed the NCC five years ago. “What we need at the NCC is leadership that is going to take advantage of all the precedents that exist to be a champion for the federal capital region, rather than the timid operator they are now,” Paquet told the Ottawa Citizen. The NCC was not always a timid operator. Take a day’s drive around the capital and take an inventory of the NCC’s contributions. Without the NCC, what is now the Ottawa River Parkway might look like Merivale Road. Without the NCC, what is now Gatineau Park might be a collection of suburban developments. Without the NCC, there would be no skating on the canal, and perhaps no bicycle paths alongside. That is by no means a complete list of the results of decisive action by the NCC back in the day. Since its authority continues and it continues to own large amounts of property in the capital region, the NCC is in position to be decisive again. For whatever reason, it has not been. The last major NCC initiative anyone can remember is the Christmas lighting project that adorns downtown Ottawa until early January. The lights are gorgeous, but is that all there is?

Contest searching for city’s best young authors

2012, the year of mental health

Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – Ottawa’s aspiring authors are invited once again to submit their best pieces of unpublished work to the Ottawa Public Library’s annual Awesome Authors Youth Writing Contest. The 17th annual city-wide contest will accept short story and poetry entries of less than 1,000 words until Monday, Jan. 30, giving kids aged 9 to 17 a chance to win wicked prizes and even become a published author. Participants must have a library card, and can enter up to two poems and two short stories in their age group in either French or English. The contest aims to encourage young writers to put their ideas to paper with the potential of having them published as a winning entry. Each year, the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library publish Pot Pourri, a compilation of the winning poems and short stories from that year. First, second, and third place as well as honourable mentions are all published in the bilingual book. The

Glebe poet JC Sulzenko will be one of the judges for this year’s Awesome Authors contest. Submissions that catch her eye usually contain unique language, form and content. book is edited by the competition’s three judges, Glebe poet JC Sulzenko, Westboro youth fiction author Brenda Chapman and local Francophone author Michel Lavoie. Sulzenko will judge the English poetry category, Chapman will judge English short stories and Lavoie will judge French poetry and short stories. Chosen awesome authors can also win monetary prizes for their work. Sulzenko, who writes animated children’s poetry and recently published a children’s book about Alzheimer’s disease, said the three things that catch her attention as a judge are unique language, form and content. She said original language that paints unusual or vivid

pictures will stick with her, as well as constructing a poem in a unique shape or form. She also said taking a common topic and writing about it in a different way can really grab her attention. “For example, there are often many Remembrance Day poems written around that time, and they often mention poppies. But what if they’re written from the poppy’s point of view?” she explained. Written works can be submitted online or to your local library branch on or before Jan. 30. Winners will be announced at a ceremony at the end of March. For a complete list of rules and formatting specifications, visit www.biblioottawalibrary. ca or call your local branch.

My five-year-old was sitting at the dining room table one morning in early January, when he said “I don’t feel well.” Was it his stomach? Was it his head? Was he tired? “No, I just feel really sad.” January can be a sad month for a lot of people. But more than just sadness, the cold winter months are a time when mental health issues often come sharply into focus. Unlike physical health, mental health disorders can be harder to recognize in loved ones, harder to diagnose, and more complex to treat. But mental illness affects all of us. It’s estimated that one in five Canadians will experience mental illness in their lifetimes. The remaining four in five will have a family member, colleague or friend that will. If we started having conversations more openly with friends and family members, we would see the truth in these statistics, that most people have a story about mental illness. Alcoholism, suicide, people failing to hold down jobs, those that are chronically ill and depressed – these issues are rampant in Canadian society. Yet there remains a stigma around mental illness that doesn’t exist elsewhere. Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

reports that just half of Canadians say they would tell friends or co-workers about a family member with a mental health problem, compared to 72 per cent that would discuss cancer, and 68 per cent that would talk about diabetes. With mental illness, more often than with physical disorders, we are more likely to ignore symptoms, or write them off as selfish and bad behaviour, until they become chronic. The CAMH reports more than half of Canadians say they wouldn’t socialize with a friend that has mental health problems and 46 per cent say they believe people use mental health issues as an excuse for bad behaviour. As I broached these subjects with my own acquaintances over the holidays, I realized even as people are more willing to discuss the issues to an extent, there is a lot of blame that accompanies these discussions. “So and so is depressed because he doesn’t do x, y, and z.” “She has never been willing to help herself with her addiction, so I wash my hands of it.” “He always does this at this time to sabotage the family party

and focus the attention on himself.” It’s difficult to know what the answer is. Mental health advocates across the country say resources to diagnose and treat mental illness are chronically underfunded. Along with that, organizations lack the resources to properly educate the public on the issues. The current health system is also not well organized to treat people in a holistic manner. Family doctors, often the first point of contact, are not always trained to ask the right questions to assemble a diagnosis. Even if they do, available resources for treatment vary from community to community, with public health and social services often disconnected from mainstream medical services. Within the medical profession, there is a shortage of professionals trained to deal with the number of mental health patients. Perhaps the first step is to encourage more openness around mental illness: talking about it more directly with family members and friends, sharing stories, and educating ourselves and our children. The more we know, the better we will be prepared to recognize symptoms early on, advocate for resources, and help the people we love, rather than ignoring or blaming them for their illness.

Curtis Watson of the Kanata Stallions and Conor Brown from the Ottawa Jr. Senators celebrate with their Yzerman All-Star teammates following a goal in their semi-final game of the CCHL All-Star Challenge on Dec. 29. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, as they fell to the OJHL North team 2-1.

CCHL stars show off skills in Smiths Falls Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The best junior A-level players from Ontario and Quebec met in Smiths Falls last week for the Central Canada All-Star Challenge. The tournament was a chance for college, Ontario Hockey League and National Hockey League scouts to watch top talent in action, including all-star teams from the Central Canada Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Robinson and Yzerman divisions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The caliber of play on the ice was way beyond what we were expecting,â&#x20AC;? said CCHL league president Kevin Abrams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the foundation of a pretty positive event.â&#x20AC;? Several players were added to the central scouting list,

placing them on the professional radar, thanks to the presence of the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of central scouting, Abrams said. The tournament served as a stage for the players to show off their skills, with 20 NHL clubs and 90 different hockey organizations represented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a tremendous number of scouts and far exceeded our expectation in that regard,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really a benefit to the players.â&#x20AC;? The event was hosted by the CCHL this year, but will be rotated through the different leagues in subsequent years. The next host has yet to be decided, but the CCHL is eager to participate again. Aside from the CCHL representatives, there were teams representing the Ontario Ju-

nior Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four divisions, the Quebec Jr. AAA Hockey League and the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League. While the team from Quebec ultimately beat the OJHL North team 5-1 in the final, both CCHL teams qualified to the semifinals, giving those players added playing time in front of scouts, as well as the 1,000 fans who came out over the course of the three-day event. Tyson Spink of the Cornwall Colts, who played in the Robinson division squad, was the CCHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top scorer and was tied for overall tournament top scorer. Both Spink and his twin brother, Tylor, have committed to Colgate University, located in Hamilton, N.Y. Ben Hutton of the Kemp-

tville 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Michael McMurty of the Gloucester Rangers were also amongst the top scorers. The Robinson division team beat OJHL South 5-2, the QJAAAHL team 3-2, and OJHL East 5-3 in round-robin play before falling to OJHL North 2-1 in their semi-final matchup. The Yzerman division team also lost to the OJHL North team 3-2, but beat the NOJHL team 4-1 and OJHL West team 4-0 before losing to the Quebec all-stars in their semi-final game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The event itself showed some great cooperation,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said, and added that several players have received NCAA offers based on their play at the tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really a benefit to the players.â&#x20AC;?

OSU TEAMS STACK UP AGAINST THE BEST AT THE ESPN - DISNEY COLLEGE SHOWCASE Traveling on Dec. 24 or 25 would not be near the top of many peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas wish, unless one has been invited and accepted to participate in one North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prestigious youth soccer showcases; The ESPN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; DISNEY College Showcase in sunny Orlando, Florida. Four, Ottawa South United (OSU) boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teams and one OSU girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team (one week later) packed their soccer gear and jetted to Florida to be the part of the only Canadian youth soccer club to be accepted in this ESPN - Disney Showcase event this year. The OSU Force players who attended the Dec. 26-30 Disney College Showcase went to the event with a purpose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much a business trip for us. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go down there for a vacation and we sort of make sure that they know that,â&#x20AC;? says Russell Shaw, who coached three of the five OSU teams at the tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time of year that most of the university scouts can come and see the players,â&#x20AC;? Shaw explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tournament starts on the 27th and we want to have a couple days to get adjusted to the weather and train.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hurdle most of OSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunbelt opponents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t face â&#x20AC;&#x201C; readjusting to natural grass and a warm climate. The OSU Force teams continued to train four times a week in advance of the event, but indoor training often isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ideal since they rarely are able to rent a full field except for the occasional exhibition. But despite the additional challenge, the OSU teams all â&#x20AC;&#x153;performed wellâ&#x20AC;? at the competition. The youngest group of OSU players, born in 1997, started with a big 5-0 victory over a Texas Lonestars team â&#x20AC;&#x153;and basically shocked everybody,â&#x20AC;? Shaw recounts, although his troops lost two other matches 1-0 to soccer academies from Florida and Georgia. The oldest group of OSU â&#x20AC;&#x2122;94s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who finished in second place this past summer in the Ontario Youth Soccer League â&#x20AC;&#x201C; suffered two significant injuries in their first game and had only two substitutes for their final three contests. They still managed a tie and a win to move forward into the bronze medal match where they had â&#x20AC;&#x153;no legs left in the second halfâ&#x20AC;? and fell 4-2 to the Chicago Fire in the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top academy division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Years ago we were trying just to compete at the introductory showcase level and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re showing that we can compete at the highest academy showcase level,â&#x20AC;? stated OSU President, Bill Michalopulos, whose club is the only one from Canada to be consistently invited to participate in this specific event that requires high performance standards to be considered. Disney holds many soccer tournaments throughout the year open to all who want to play soccer but the December Showcase and the November Junior Showcase are all â&#x20AC;&#x153;businessâ&#x20AC;?. They are unique by the fact that there is a strict qualification process in order to be considered as a participant and they rely heavily on targeted premium soccer club/academy invitations thus only attracting the very best soccer academies and soccer clubs that the continent has to offer. In addition, they are the only ones that attract professional scouts and university scouts not only from North America but Europe as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All in all, it was a very successful trip. The OSU players made the club proud.â&#x20AC;?

IN SUPPORT OF THE

The OSU â&#x20AC;&#x2122;96 girls also participated in the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Disney showcase event, Dec. 31-Jan. 3, earning one tie and narrowly losing two other matches against teams from Tennessee, Florida and New York. The â&#x20AC;&#x2122;95 boys got one victory and the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;96 boys lost all three by close scores.

LIGHT UP THE NIGHT FOR KIDS AND THE COMMUNITY!

Although Disney provides an excellent opportunity for Ottawa players to test themselves against North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top youth clubs and players, the results are somewhat secondary to the opportunity the tournament offers to be seen by the hundreds of NCAA college coaches and scouts that attend this specific ESPN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; DISNEY Showcase Tournament in December.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest value,â&#x20AC;? said Jim Lianos, OSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Manager, noting that some of the OSU players received verbal offers, while others have built relationships with scouts from previous showcase events at Disney and the Dallas Cup. OSU sent seven Force Academy graduates to U.S. soccer schools on athletic scholarships last year, and six more to Canadian university teams.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not everything, but the December, Disney Showcase helps big-timeâ&#x20AC;? to get recruited south of the border, Michalopulos adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps with OSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recognition as one of North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top youth soccer clubs and helps grow our ever expanding university/college network in order to facilitate our OSU players to earn scholarships and build their soccer resume.

Aunt Bertha’s felt slippers helped make winter bearable Beware buying medicines online EMC Lifestyle - “It’s all in your head” Father said from his comfortable and warm position in front of the Findlay Oval, with his stockinged feet resting on the oven door. Mother was lamenting as usual, about the cold floors in the old log house when winter had socked in around us out there in Renfrew County. “I’ve done everything in my power to keep the cold air off those floors, but our feet are still like blocks of ice,” Mother said. There was no foundation under the old log house, but Father had piled snow all around the base going up about three feet over the outside logs, and packed it down solid. Mother had stuffed every window with old socks and pieces of worn out underwear. Thick braided rugs covered much of the

floors, both upstairs and down. But nothing could stop the cold from seeping through the floorboards under our feet. Every night, we slept under feather tickings, warmed by hot bricks, but when we went to bed with cold feet, it didn’t take long before we were shivering. “There is no solution. We are doomed to have freezing feet as long as we are in this house,” Mother said, her voice rising to a high pitch. As was usual, when Mother

faced a dilemma, she took her concerns to Aunt Bertha Thom across the twenty-acre field. Wasn’t it Aunt Bertha who told Mother about the feather tickings, and heated bricks? Wasn’t it Aunt Bertha who showed Mother how to put down pickled yellow beans, and who was always there when help was needed to get Mother used to living in the back woods of Renfrew County, after living in New York City for eighteen years of her life? So it was only natural that Mother would take her concerns about our cold feet to Aunt Bertha. I have no idea where the felt came from. Aunt Bertha was summoned. She came across the twentyacre field one evening in the cutter, and Uncle Alec was with her, which meant they were going to make a night of it. After the niceties of their greetings, we five children were ordered to pull off our socks. I silently shivered when I had to part with mine and put my bare feet on the ice-cold floor. Aunt Bertha peeled off a piece of felt and told me to put my foot in the centre of it. She did the same with a second piece. Then she outlined my foot with a piece of chalk, and put another piece of felt on the top of my foot. She did this with each of us five children, and then she took the matching pieces of felt over to the kitchen table, and cut out the shape of each of our feet, and the piece that

was on the top. She sent Audrey to the drawer in the sewing machine for a darning needle and a ball of yarn. “Doesn’t matter what colour the yarn is...just bring me a ball,” Aunt Bertha said. I had no idea what two pieces of felt, a darning needle and a ball of yarn had to do with keeping our feet warm on the cold floor, but Aunt Bertha seemed to know exactly what she was doing. She showed Audrey how to blanket-stitch the two pieces of felt together, and right before my eyes, I saw that we all, within minutes, had felt slippers! The brothers were a bit reluctant to go padding around the kitchen in felt slippers, but when Audrey raved about how warm her feet were, it didn’t take long for the three boys to put them on over their heavy wool socks. Father made no attempt to claim his. The oven door suited him just fine. When Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alec took their leave, I pushed my feet into the simple heelless slippers and I hugged Aunt Bertha and told her she was the best neighbour anyone ever had. Father never moved from the Findlay Oval until it was time to go to bed. We all noticed, but not a word was said, as he too slipped his stockinged feet into the only pair of felt slippers left, and which Mother had placed by his rocking chair just in case. The slippers made everyone’s winter bearable.

The Internet has made it possible for consumers to buy just about anything without ever leaving their homes. Whether looking for a pizza or a car, consumers can find whatever they need with a few clicks of the mouse. But buying merchandise online always comes with a degree of risk, and that’s especially so when buying medicine over the Internet. Not all Web sites that sell medicine are trustworthy, and many physicians feel buying medicine online is never a viable option. Recognizing the risk involved in such a transaction, the Food and Drug Administration offers the following advice to consumers consider purchasing medicines over the Internet. Learn about medicines before ordering Consumers should learn as much as possible about the medicines they plan to purchase before placing an order. Know what the medicine looks like, including its color, texture, shape, and packaging. If the medicine has a particular taste or smell, make note of that before taking any medication purchased over the Internet. Know what you’re buying Many Web sites that sell medicine are perfectly legal and trustworthy. However, just as many, if not more, Web sites sell medicine that has not been checked or approved by the FDA. These drugs might contain the wrong active ingredient or too much or too little of the active ingredient, making them

ineffective and possibly even deadly. These faulty sites appear just as credible as their legitimate counterparts, but sell ineffective or dangerous drugs to consumers who don’t know what they’re getting in return. In an effort to increase awareness among consumers purchasing medicine online, the FDA purchased and analyzed a host of products that were sold online as Tamiflu, which is used to treat some types of influenza infection. The active ingredient in Tamiflu is oseltamivir, but in one package purchased by the FDA online the drug they received as Tamiflu contained none of the active ingredient oseltamivir. Similar problems were reported by consumers who purchased Ambien, Xanax, Lexapro, and Ativan over the Internet. Instead of receiving these drugs, consumers received products containing the foreign version of Haldol, a powerful anti-psychotic drug that sent consumers to the emergency room, where they were treated for a host of ailments. When shopping for medicine online, the FDA notes the following signs of a Web site that’s trustworthy: * The site is located in the United States. * The Web site is licensed by the state board of pharmacy where the Web site is operating. * The Web site offers a licensed pharmacist available to answer any questions. More information about prescription medication safety is available at www.fda.gov.

Sometimes shortcuts are answer in kitchen EMC Lifestyle - Sometimes it happens. You’re either too busy, too tired, or too busy and too tired to prepare a meal. Living in a rural area a few miles from the nearest food takeout, I’ve learned to stock my cupboard for times like that. Recently, during the holidays, when we had company staying with us, and we were all worn out from the busy Christmas activities, I needed to make something quick and easy for lunch. I had originally planned to make clam chowder, so I knew that I had a can of clams in the cupboard. Instead of starting from scratch, however, I used a shortcut. I made a simple version of clam chowder with cream of potato soup, a can of clams, onion, and milk. There was some cooked, crisp bacon in the freezer, so I crumbled that and sprinkled some on each serving. The chowder was rich and creamy, our company enjoyed it, and best of all, it was quick and simple to prepare. Here’s the recipe. Don’t

Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW

add any salt to the chowder when you cook it as you may find it salty enough. Shortcut Clam Chowder Two cans cream of potato soup (not the garlic-flavored type) Three slices of onion, either grated or finely chopped The liquid from the clams About 1 1/2 soup cans of milk One can clams Crisp, cooked bacon (optional) Drain the liquid from the canned clams, and reserve it. In a large microwaveproof bowl, combine the potato soup and the onion. Pour the liquid from the clams into one of the soup cans, and add enough milk to fill the can. Add that to the bowl along with one more

full can of milk. Microwave on High for five to six minutes, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook on Power Level 8 for two to three minutes or longer, stirring every minute, until the chowder is hot but not boiling. Stir in the clams, and microwave for one minute on Power Level 8. When you dish up the chowder, sprinkle each serving with crumbled crispcooked bacon. If you don’t have any bacon, sprinkle a bit of paprika on each serving. Let everyone add their own freshly-grated pepper, but suggest that they taste their chowder before adding salt. I found it salty enough for my liking and didn’t need to add any more. Serves four.

Lowertown residents look to preserve history Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Lowertown Community Association has created a heritage and development committee to help keep a watchful eye on the status of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock of historically relevant structures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is very little left and there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough protecting it,â&#x20AC;? said association president Marc Aubin. In the aftermath of a dispute the association lost with Claridge Homes over four townhouses in the east end of Lowertown, the group decided it was time to defend the remaining heritage homes in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have taken what was a negative situation and made something positive out of it,â&#x20AC;? Aubin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city has a certain responsibility, but I think their ability to protect heritage is strained and it takes the community to pro-

tect the heritage.â&#x20AC;? During the effort back in August to save the townhomes located at Bruyere and St Andrew streets, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee directed staff to conduct a comprehensive review of the remaining heritage properties in the east section of Lowertown and report back as part of the draft planning and growth management work plan that will be considered in January. Much of the east end of Lowertownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage homes were razed in the 1960s during an urban renewal project. Now only a handful of heritage homes remain and the community association is noticing those homes are being bought up for potential inďŹ ll development. For residents like Nancy Miller Chenier, the co-chairwoman of the heritage and development committee, this pattern is costing Lowertown its history.

Submitted photo

A glimpse of Lowertownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past is shown in a photo taken in the 1950s. The photo is one of several collected by the area community associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage committee as part of its efforts to document the neighbourhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a number of these things we are hoping to pull together and put on a website and build peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in our heritage and the sense of value,â&#x20AC;? Miller Che-

nier said. She pointed out the east portion of Lowertown was not included in a heritage conservation district established in the 1990s that covers the west

section, which includes the Byward Market. Both Aubin and Miller Chenier said heritage isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily just about architecture: to them it is also about the people who lived in a particular house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the story of the builders of Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? Miller Chenier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are the butchers, the bakers and the candlestick makers.â&#x20AC;? Some of those homes are showing their age, Aubin said, but that should not be the excuse to tear them all down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is so much history in a building,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And when a building begins to show its age, is it okay to reward the people who do not take care of their buildings? Because if that was the case, everyone would just let their buildings go.â&#x20AC;? The committee is still working on a joint vision for the area.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of work to do,â&#x20AC;? Miller Chenier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our ďŹ rst thing is to get the word out. Second, identify and document what heritage is in our community. There is a lot of research to do.â&#x20AC;? A list Miller Chenier describes as the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10-year plan is quite long and ambitious, but she does believe getting it all done is possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to have links to all the sections of the city concerning heritage, to have a guide for homeowners on how to get grants and a bibliography for how to research your house,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding many of the items included in the plan are ideas gathered from the New Edinburgh Community Alliance heritage forum in October. Aubin knows the committee will have their hands full. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The threat to heritage is still very present,â&#x20AC;? he said.

YOU! Pet Adoptions PET OF THE WEEK JAY ID#A138811

TYRA ID#A134377 Tyra is a spayed female, white and brown tabby Domestic Shorthair cat who is about a year-and-a-half old. She was brought to the shelter as a stray on August 24, but is now available for adoption. Tyra loves to come up to greet you for nuzzles and affection and she has a pleasant, polite, watchful disposition. She will get along well with someone who wants a companion, not a lap cat, and she likes other cats. Tyra is looking for a calm, pleasant household to share, preferably with lots of places she is allowed to climb.

This unaltered female, green and yellow Budgie is about 6 years old. She was surrendered to the shelter by her owner on December 6. Budgies generally live between six and twelve years, and Jay will need daily attention and interaction. Friendly and affectionate, this little lady is looking for a forever home where she can be comfortable and will be given opportunities to ﬂy outside her cage in the house. She should never be allowed out of her cage unsupervised. You likely won’t need to cover her cage at night. Some birds appreciate the extra privacy and others feel panicked. Take a cue from her behaviour. Provide her with plenty of perches of varying diameters as well as ladders, ropes, swings and mirrors for entertainment, and she’ll provide you with endless hours of pleasure and companionship.

of weatherproof materials facing away from prevailing winds. It should be elevated and insulated, with a door ﬂap and bedding of straw or wood shavings. Animals that are outside need a constant source of fresh water, so check your dog’s bowl often to ensure it hasn’t frozen. Keep your animals away from icecovered bodies of water—even small ponds you think may be frozen over. Although many surfaces may appear solid, ice is often uneven and thin in places, and your pet may fall in and possibly suffer hypothermia or even death. It’s best to limit the amount of outdoor time for any animal in frigid temperatures, so take your dog for lots of quick short walks instead of one long one. Consider a sweater or coat for your pet on cold days when you go out, especially if your dog is very young or old, or is sick or short-

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

coated. Be sure to wipe down its paws each time you return home to remove chemicals or salt often used to melt ice and snow. These can be poisonous if ingested and can irritate sensitive feet. The OHS recommends that cat owners should always keep their cats indoors year round. If your cat does go outdoors, make sure it’s only for short periods, and ensure your cat is inside overnight. Remember never to leave an animal in an unheated car for long periods of time, and be sure to knock on the car hood each time you start the engine to scare any cats away. Cats often crawl under car hoods to ﬁnd warmth and can be injured or killed by a starting motor. If you see an animal in distress or without adequate shelter from the cold, call the OHS Emergency Unit at (613) 725-1532.

The Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) wishes to remind pet owners that plunging winter temperatures can be dangerous and even life-threatening for pets. While the OHS strongly recommends that you bring your dog inside in extreme temperatures, owners of outside dogs need to be especially vigilant about providing appropriate care during cold weather. “The OHS will have zero tolerance for animals left outside without adequate shelter from the elements, or an ample supply of fresh water during these cold months,” says OHS Inspector Miriam Smith. “If we ﬁnd a dog left outside without adequate shelter or water, in intolerable conditions with no owner around, the dog will be removed for its own safety and animal cruelty charges may be laid.” Dogs that live outside require as a minimum a doghouse soundly built
