Like clockwork, Carolle Anderson goes for a mammogram every year just as she has since she turned 40. That was five years ago. Late last year, she asked her doctor for a requisition to send her to the Ottawa Hospital’s Breast Health Centre at the Civic campus for her scan. At the same time, she enrolled in the world’s largest breast cancer study of its kind, which she hopes will also make history for other reasons. “There are plenty of women in their 40s with breast cancer. The earlier we can catch (it) the better,” said Anderson, a Carleton Place resident who is also a breast imaging technologist at the Ottawa Hospital and a trained investigator in the study, “It’s a great cause,” she said of being a patient in the clinical trial, which requires her to have mammograms done at the centre annually over the next three years. “It’s great to be in it as well as to try and encourage others to participate in it.” The U.S. and Canadian study is seeking 165,000 women – 6,300

from across Canada including 2,000 from Ottawa – over four years to gather enough evidence to show what Dr. Jean Seely already knows to be true. “I am very interested because I have seen the benefits of tomosynthesis,” Seely, head of breast imaging at the Ottawa Hospital’s Breast Health Centre, said of the 3D digital tomosynthesis mammographic imaging screening trial, or TMIST.

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

With the city bursting with events centred around Canada’s sesquicentennial there is one group looking for 150 of the best stories Ottawa’s youth have to offer. Youth Ottawa, formerly Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa, is an organization of young adults aimed at making sure concerns and ideas from Ottawa’s younger population are heard and taken seriously. And so, when it came to doing something special — as many organizations in the city are doing this year — Youth Ottawa member Sherry Wang said it was natural to want to turn to the younger crowd in Ottawa and hear from them. “We wanted to celebrate Canada’s 150th and we thought it would be a perfect time to celebrate youth and highlight what we are doing and what they like about themselves or a place they like to be in this city,” Wang said. The project, #OttYouth2017, was launched in December 2016. The goal is to share the stories of youth friendly faces, spaces and accomplishments in Ottawa in an effort to demonstrate the crucial role that youth have played in the success of this city. The idea is fairly simple. Youth in the city need only to have the Internet at their fingertips and submit a story through a short application available on YouthOttawa.ca. Applicants must submit a photo and a short story that best demonstrates their involvement and Youth Ottawa will chose 150 stories to be displayed throughout the year. The top three stories that captivate

their audience will receive a prize at the end of the campaign. So far, there are 35 stories already submitted. “It’s about any unique story they want to share,” Wang said. JOIN IN

Apart from finding stories in the capital from young adults, Youth Ottawa has also armed themselves with an action plan that addresses a number of concerns pertaining to this city: • Environment concerns • Transportation affordability • Ensuring there are ample opportunities for youth to engage and talk with city councillors about issues that matter to them Wang said basically Youth Ottawa is the go-to place for young residents who want to take on an active role in this city. “We bring youth a voice to help with some of the decision-making that takes place in the city,” Wang said. The group also works at creating programming young people are actually interested in participating in. Youth can join the conversation by contacting the organization at info@ youthottawa.ca. The deadline for #OttYouth2017 is March 15. Stories will be shared on the organization’s social media platforms, Twitter @Youth_Ottawa, Instagram @ Youth_Ottawa and Facebook, @YouthOttawa. Youth interested in sharing a story can find the application at youthottawa. ca/ottyouth2017. Those who apply have a chance to win some prizes, including Bluesfest passes.

Trial results could build case for widespread use Continued from page 1

There are only two such 3D devices in Ottawa. Acquired in 2011 by the Ottawa Hospital, they are attached to standard 2D mammogram units and are only used for diagnostic reasons, that is, as a secondary line of defence to rule out suspicious mammogram tests done by 2D units and ultrasounds. Seely, Ottawa’s primary investigator for the study, wants to change that. “I have been convinced that it’s the way to go,” she said of the 3D equipment. “We should be doing it for (widespread) screening.” The technology has shown to reduce anxiety-causing false alarms by up to 40 per cent, as well as detect missed cancers, or reduce false negatives, by 40 per cent. In addition to mitigating false alarms often caused by overlapping breast tissue or benign cysts (80 per cent of women called back for a follow-up mammogram are in the clear), the 3D device also increases the detection of breast cancers by 40 per cent, particularly those tumours that are too tiny to feel or that may be hidden in dense tissue. The unit can also detect potentially more aggressive cancers sooner, which means treatment can be started earlier. “We know that it saves lives,” Jean said. “If we can perhaps, through this technology, reduce the rate of false positives that would be a big benefit for the community we are serving,” added her brother Dugold Seely, a

naturopathic doctor and executive director of the Ottawa Integrative Cancer Centre, which is funding the Ottawa component of the study, in which he is working as a coinvestigator. His organization, which provides complementary care – such as treatment side-effect management – that is integrative with conventional care at the Ottawa Hospital, is contributing the equivalent of about $70,000 toward the Ottawa clinical trial. One of his centre’s naturopathic doctors is helping coordinate the study at the Breast Health Centre. As well, while 2D can pick up about four per 1,000 cancers, the addition of the 3D device can detect about another two per 1,000. There’s another troubling number: 15 per cent of all breast cancers are missed on a 2D mammogram, particularly worrisome for women ages 40 to 50 who are not generally urged by family doctors to go for annual scans, though the Ottawa Hospital recommends annual mammograms for all women of this age. This is despite that breast cancer is the leading killer for women in this age range because the growth rate of tumours is faster for those in this bracket. “That’s why we need to do better,” said Seely. The long-term study, which launched in Ottawa last August, and has been rolling out in various Canadian sites over the past two years and will begin in the U.S. later this year, is the missing, potentially evidence-rich piece.

Dr. Jean Seely and her brother Dugold Seely are investigators with the first and largest breast cancer screening clinical trial of its kind in the world. take part will receive annual 2D mammograms or the combined 2D and 3D scans over four years. Pending the results of the clinical trial, which will take one to two years to analyze, the 3D equipment could very well become the go-to standard for breast cancer screening. Rigging each $300,000 2D unit with 3D imaging costs an extra $150,000. But early detection saves on health-care dollars, just as regular screening does. “With screening we really have an impact on the cost of treatment: less chemotherapy, less mastectomies, more just lumpectomies,” said Seely. And it means better outcomes for patients. “The treatment is so much easier and so much more curative at an earlier stage,” Dugold said. “That’s the key thing.” To enrol in the study, ask your doctor for a mammogram requisition for the Ottawa Hospital’s Breast Health Centre.

A depiction of the transit plan for the Baseline-Heron corridor.

Baseline rapid-transit plan a go BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

City staff will come up with a solution for seniors in Copeland Park who wanted a new rapid-transit system, but didn’t want to have to walk another 250 metres to access it. The 14-kilometre Baseline rapidtransit corridor would take riders from Baseline to Heron station. Council approved the project on Feb. 8. Transportation committee chair Keith Egli said the issue was the walking distance, but the solution should not affect the intent of the project — which is to provide rapid transit. He said a signalized intersection at St. Helen’s Place should be a good solution. The plan includes 24 new stations, with stops about 575 metres apart. There will be signalized crossings, seating for those waiting for buses and wide

platforms. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said the area around the condos at Clyde Avenue and Baseline was the only one with such a drastic increase in walking distance. As a result, residents came to him with concerns. “They said, ‘you need to do something about the overreduction of stops,’” he said. The new transit line could carry 10,000 riders a day. The project would cost $140 million from Baseline to Heron, with another $8 million in “transit priority measures,” say staff. Shovels could be in the ground as soon as 2020, OC Transpo GM John Manconi said at the

Feb. 1 transportation committee meeting. That date would depend on funding coming through from other levels of government. Aside from construction, the city will have to expropriate nearly 200 pieces of property. Some would be a sliver of frontage while about 15 homes would have to be expropriated completely. The federal government owns 10 properties that will need to be acquired — including a portion of the Central Experimental Farm. The project will be built in two phases — the goal for the first, from Baseline Station to Heron Station, is for it to be operational before 2031.

Morning crashes close west-end roadways One person killed in crash BY MEGAN DELAIRE mdelaire@metroland.com

Emergency crews were busy on the morning of Feb. 10, responding to two serious crashes in the city’s west end before 6 a.m. A fatal collision in the eastbound

lanes of Highway 417 near Carling and Kirkwood avenues shut the lanes down shortly before 6 a.m. as paramedics assessed two drivers. Paramedics pronounced one man dead at the scene. The other driver was assessed with a minor injury and was not taken to hospital. The OPP is investigating. A media release from the city said the

eastbound lanes would be closed for an undetermined length of time and warned drivers to consider alternative routes east. Earlier in the morning, a head-on collision on Prince of Wales Drive north of Fallowfield Road sent a 71-year-old woman to hospital in serious but stable condition. Paramedics responded to the collision between a car and a pickup

Notice of Proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments For secondary dwelling units (coach houses)

truck at 5:24 a.m. and determined that the male driver of the pickup truck was uninjured. Keith Buchanan, paramedic superintendent of operations, said the outcomes of head-on collisions are better than in the past thanks to safety technology used in newer cars. “For most head-on (collisions) newer vehicles are engineered with

crumple zones, airbags and pretensioners on seatbelts to lessen the impacts of these crashes,” he said. But he warned that despite safety features, the outcome for the older female driver could have been worse. “The female driver was 71 years old, and once you hit 65 it increases your risk of injury,” he said. “The same amount of force on elderly people is more likely to cause damage. They’re more likely to sustain a fracture, so often they would take a higher priority just to keep caution.” Police are investigating the crash.

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENTS Notice is hereby provided that zoning by-law amendments are being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department of the City of Ottawa.

In accordance with the Planning Act and Section 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa, notice is hereby provided that Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment proposals have been initiated by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department of the City of Ottawa.

LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL These City-initiated zoning amendments will affect lands throughout the City Of Ottawa

The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) affect residential properties city wide.

To add a provision to the zoning affecting 135 Barrette Street to consider the lands as one lot for zoning purposes; To add a provision to the zoning affecting parts of 335 St. Laurent Boulevard and 1191 Montreal Road to reinstitute the minimum rear yard setbacks of the underlying zones; To permit a medical facility limited to a dental practice at 152 Gloucester Street; To clarify the front yard setback for an office located at 950 Terry Fox Drive as being set back a minimum of six metres from Abbott Street; To add linked-detached dwelling as a permitted use within the residential third density subzone I (R3I) zone; To remove the size restriction on commercial uses within a rapid transit station; To permit a restaurant and specify the location and size of an outdoor commercial patio and parking for the property located at 274 Somerset Street East; To split Exception 2215 into two exceptions as this exception has been applied to two properties with different provisions; To revise Exception 2195 to clarify that permitted uses lawfully existing as of the date of passing of the by-law means uses lawfully existing as of February 25, 2015; To reinstate the applicable schedule for the property at 460 St. Laurent; To eliminate the parking requirement for uses wholly contained within the basement of buildings on lots located along certain designated main streets.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Democracy, community under threat

f you are reading this, then you should be interested in the recentlyreleased report commissioned by the federal government dealing with ways to address the current upheaval in Canada’s media. The report, authored by respected Canadian journalist Edward Greenspon on behalf of the public policy forum think-tank, contains 12 recommendations meant to strengthen the Canadian journalism landscape and ensure that it can continue to provide the scope and depth of reporting that Canadians have come to expect from their media. This report is particularly relevant with regard to Canada’s print media, which is faced with shrinking ad and subscription revenues and job cuts. The report sees this as a threat to our democracy. After all, if we lack the information to know what is going on, there will be no informed electorate and our democracy will not function as it should, particularly with the advent of fake news or so-called alternative facts. Another scenario that is equally worrying, though, is the role of the media — and, more particularly, community newspapers — in the creation and promo-

tion of “community.” Part of being a community is knowing what is going on locally, is knowing who are your neighbours, is taking pride in being part of that defined space that is known as “your community.” Indeed, Canada can be viewed as a vast community of communities with common values and ideals. And what is a significant feature of a local community? Yes, that’s right — you are holding it in your hands right now. The community newspaper. A robust community newspaper industry is one way of protecting and growing our local communities. Vibrant communities are, we believe, just as vital to the future of our society as is a robust democracy. Communities are the stage on which people primarily come together. That’s why all Canadians must take seriously proposals to strengthen our journalism vehicles in this country, including community newspapers. A media in crisis endangers both our democracy and our communities. With two such pillars of our society being under threat from pressures on the media these days, taking steps to assist the media in meeting these current challenges should be of interest to all Canadians.

Tennis comeback may get traction from Davis Cup

ost of the headlines that came out of the weekend of Davis Cup tennis in Ottawa dealt with the disqualification of a young Canadian player, Denis Shapovalov. Seventeen years old, losing badly and in a rage over his own poor performance, Shapovalov whacked a ball after losing a point and accidentally struck the umpire in the eye. Clearly remorseful, he was nonetheless disqualified and, with the disqualification, Canada was eliminated from Davis Cup competition by Great Britain. This was sad, but it did provide a teachable moment for parents all across the nation. See what happens when you lose your temper? Having a teachable moment is always useful, but it’s too bad that this particular incident obscured some of the more positive aspects of the tennis weekend.

appropriately enough, in a converted hockey arena, should help the new tennis boom. The large crowds appreciated how well-organized the event was and the high calibre of the tennis, despite the absence of each nation’s biggest names. The hockey arena turned out to be ideal for viewing tennis. The audience was intensely partisan, albeit with a small but vocal U.K. contingent. The roars from each side increased in volume, length and intensity as the matches progressed. But all it took was for the umpire to say, “Thank you,” and the noise paused completely for the next serve. You could hear the hum of the air conditioning. It’s amazing to think that human beings, thousands of them, can behave like that. Another heartening thing about the crowd was its diversity, particularly in age. The number of kids

Giant John Candy snow sculpture blows into town Glebe BIA builds 2 metre tall sculpture BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

It’s been nearly 30 years since John Candy became known as the cool uncle in town, but in the Glebe the iconic character is back and has become larger than life. To celebrate this year’s Alterna Savings Crackup Comedy festival, the Glebe Business Improvement Area had a giant 2.4-metre snow sculpture of Candy’s Uncle Buck movie character built at the corner of Bank Street and Fifth Avenue by artist Brian Clemence. Candy was a Canadian actor known mainly for his work in Hollywood films in the early 1980s to 1990s such as Splash and The Great Outdoors. He died of a heart attack in 1994. Executive director of the Glebe BIA, Andrew Peck, said

that to celebrate their partnership with the festival each year, the organization likes to honour great Canadians. This year, Candy is the recipient of the Alterna Savings Canadian Comedy Legend Award and Peck said the BIA thought it would be fun to bring Uncle Buck to life in snow. “John Candy is a great Canadian, a comedy icon, and it’s the perfect way to tie into our great partnership,” Peck said. Last year, snow sculptures of Henry Burris and Mary Walsh were built. According to Peck, the sculpture has received a lot of attention from people passing by, including Candy’s children, Jennifer and Christopher Candy who are in town for the Comedy Crackup Gala on Feb. 12. “I would have to say this has never been done before. I absolutely love it,” said Jennifer. “It’s so Canadian. Our dad was iconic and he makes people laugh and I think that’s a good thing and it’s timeless.”

The sculpture took three days to sculpt. “All you need to do is stand on the corner and watch,” said Peck. “Passersby have been stopping at the sculpture, taking photos and sharing them on social media. The majority of our snow people bring well-known characters to life in the Glebe. “We’re thrilled with how they all turned out.”

Are you constantly turning up the volume on the television? This makes watching television challenging for you and loud to people around you.

Do you find yourself constantly raising the volume on your television? Do commercials seem louder? Is your family always asking you to turn the volume down? Hearing the television can be a common problem even for people who can hear everything else just fine. Fortunately, the rechargeable Phonak Audéo™ B-R hearing aid has been specifically designed to improve your television listening experience, allowing you to enjoy the shows you love without disrupting the people around you. Frequently turning up the volume on the television can be one of the first signs of an undetected high-frequency hearing loss. This type of hearing loss is caused by damage to microscopic cells deep within our inner ears called “hair cells.” Normally, these hair cells detect incoming sounds and change them into information our brain uses to hear. With a high-frequency hearing loss, the hair cells that let us hear soft, high-pitched speech sounds are damaged, which can make speech sound unclear or mumbled.

Most people won’t notice this drop in speech clarity right away, because they are usually listening to only one or two people in a quiet area, and get plenty of visual cues from the person talking. When watching television, there can be loud music in the background, people speaking fast or with an accent, and you cannot always see the face of the person talking. While turning up the volume helps a little, it will not improve the clarity you are missing out on.

Fortunately, a new hearing aid has been designed with this problem in mind. Programmed to fit your unique listening needs, the rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids will significantly improve your understanding of television, while keeping the volume at a much more comfortable level. These advanced devices are completely selfadjusting with no buttons to push, dials to turn, or batteries to change. You’ll be free to enjoy the shows you love while hearing your absolute best. Connect Hearing wants to help you hear the TV better. Call 1.888.408.7377 or visit connecthearing.ca/recharge today and register for your free hearing test*. Qualified candidates will receive a no-obligation trial of the Phonak Audéo B rechargeable hearing aid, so you can hear for yourself how these hearing aids will help you hear your favourite show.

Professors' brain-mapping research gets funding boost BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

The brain is like a complex computer. It, like computers, relays information in micro-fractions of a second. For decades, neuroscientists have been puzzled about how, exactly, this particular type of computer was programmed. Until now. University of Ottawa’s Brain and Mind Research Institute professors André Longtin and Leonard Maler have uncovered something to help the rest of us understand how we think, move and remember. To make it happen, 20 years ago the two scientists combined their respected fields — Longtin is a physicist, Maler is a neurobiologist — to figure out how to decode the human brain. “The principals were ba-

sically: What is it inside our brain and what does focus mean, what does it look like inside the brain when we focus,” Longtin said. “And we found the neural code that covers that.” They started out small, using electric fish, which have brains similar to ours, to trace how signals move during the entire sensory process. “We always had a vision, but I’m not sure we knew we were in for it for the long haul,” Longtin said. It might have taken some time, but the coding is starting to make sense. On Feb. 7, the two were awarded the Brockhouse Canada Prize for Interdisciplinary Research in Science and Engineering for their research. The award, sponsored by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, rec-

ognizes outstanding teams that engage in research based on their combined knowledge and skills to produce a record of excellent research achievement in the natural sciences and engineering. The prize comes with a research grant of $250,000. This funding, Longtin said, will allow them to link their current research with how the brain focuses on attention and memory — basically, how our senses tap into memories to gain information in order to help with attention and decisionmaking. The long-term goals for this research will include the two working at determining how to help those who have suffered from strokes, people who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or develop Alzheimer's disease. “If you can understand

the attention and memory — then you can have a better understanding how it can mess up,” Longtin said. “And learn how to potentially repair it.” Longtin likened their work to learning about a vehicle’s engine. If something breaks, a mechanic needs to know and understand everything under the hood of the car to be able to fix it. This work, Longtin said, could result in the ability to create implants to help with memory loss, or to have the tools and the knowledge to help repair a tumour or damage caused by trauma. Longtin credits the university and the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada for making it possible for the research to continue.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Refugees are not a threat to our security T BRYNNA housands of former Syrian refugees are about to celebrate their first year living in Canada as Canadians. In response to what some have called the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world since the Second World War, Canada opened its doors to more than 40,000 Syrian refugees in 2015 and 2016, many of them privately sponsored. For skeptics, it’s relatively easy to buy into U.S. President Donald Trump’s rhetoric on refugees. In January, the president signed an executive order to ban all migration into the U.S. by nationals from seven countries, most of which are Muslim. Syria is one of the seven on a list which includes Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Despite the courts in the U.S. overturning the ban within days of its implementation, Trump has taken to his favourite medium – Twitter – to now denounce the

LESLIE

Capital Muse courts and “so-called judge,” as he disgustingly referred to the federal judge who blocked the immigration ban. After an appeal court in Seattle upheld the decision, Trump started shouting louder than ever on social media – by using all caps – to say that allowing refugees in from countries like Syria constitutes a major national security concern: “SEE YOU IN COURT. THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!” As with most things that come out of President Trump’s mouth, and his Twit-

ter feed, it’s hogwash. A declassified intelligence report by Canada Border Services Agency first reported on in early February shows that Syrian refugees here “represent a relatively low security risk.” The National Post acquired the report, entitled

“Potential National Security Concerns with Syrian Nationals,” under Canada’s Access to Information Act. The report was prepared for top officials and executives in Canada in the wake of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s commitment to bring in 25,000 refugees following the 2015 federal election. The report notes, firstly, that four in five Syrian refugees are women and children, with men accounting for about 22 per cent of the total. Of the nearly 12,000 Syrians who came to Canada as temporary residents, immigrants and refugees during the reporting period, only a handful were part of

the deportation proceedings studied. Of the five or so, most were known criminals – theft, trafficking – while only one was involved in deportation proceedings because he represented a security risk. We like to pat ourselves on the back as Canadians and believe that Trudeau speaks for all of us when he talks about diversity as part of the fabric of our national culture. Sadly, there are many bigots in Canada, just as there are many tolerant and liberalminded people south of the border. It’s easy to fall into believing Trump’s rhetoric. But a sitting president who uses his power in the first few days to overstep his authority, a man who would insult a federal judge, a man who would attempt to insult and belittle the entire judiciary arm of the government is not to be trusted. His staff have made up terrorist attacks that never happened. They have shame-

lessly promoted the Trump family’s commercial ventures using White House resources and the office it represents. Perhaps worst of all, however, Trump is abusing his position to prey on some of the most vulnerable people in the world – refugees, whose homes have been destroyed, whose relatives have been killed in conflict and whose own governments have completely turned against them. They come to our borders, across vast oceans, legitimately asking to seek refuge here to make a better life for their children, and Trump tries to make them out as terrorists. It’s false. Refugees are rigorously screened, often over a number of years and, as new Canadians, many of them work harder than those born in Canada to have a minimum standard of living. Refugees are the pioneers of the 21st century. Canada is lucky to have them; we need more of them.

Council signs off on two towers aimed at university students BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

Marianne’s Annual Bra Extravaganza

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Council approved two developments aimed at university students on Feb. 8. The first is a four-storey, 13unit apartment building at 404 Eden Ave. between Richmond Road and Byron Avenue. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper had reservations about the development, citing concerns of over-intensification at an earlier planning committee meeting. Leiper says the city’s intensification policy would normally call for three units in place of one. “This is bumping it up to 13,” he said at the Jan. 25 meeting. Leiper added that he was concerned if the surrounding infrastructure — like pools and libraries — will be able to handle the demand brought on by the new residents. The site is located near two rapid transit stations. The development on Bronson Avenue will include a sixstorey mixed-use development at 770 Bronson Ave and one just south at 774 Bronson will

The city’s planning committee approved a four-storey, 13unit development for 404 Eden Avenue. The application will go to council final vote on Feb. 8 be a mixed use 12-storey, designed for university students attending Carleton University. The 172-unit tower will only have 17 residential parking spots and 21 visitor spots. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko dealt with the lack of parking during

the Jan. 25 planning meeting that considered the development. “If we can’t build resident housing, with very little parking there, where can we? he said, adding the developer really worked with the community on compromises and around shadowing and other items.

The most challenging way to make a difference, may be the most rewarding.

tea. “I don’t think I will ever get used to using onions in anything but a stew or soup pot,” Mother said. They had been talking about our neighbour Mrs. Beam, who said onions could cure everything, and were a heck of a lot cheaper than bringing old Dr. Murphy all the way out from Renfrew. Aunt Bertha assured Mother just about everyone out at Northcote took Mrs. Beam’s advice and used onions to fight colds, cure whooping cough, fix a sore throat, and believed they could even remove warts. I pretended I wasn’t listening and kept dressing and undressing my dolls. I knew the talk would eventually get around to me and the hacking cough I had had for days. And I was being kept home from the Northcote School to “heal up,” as Aunt Bertha called

Well, after Aunt Bertha headed back across the 20-acre field with the cutter, Mother found one of the little flour bag sacks, chopped up a good sized onion, filled the bag, and hung it it. away from her. around my neck.

which he said was making him sick. That night Mother decided she would do exactly what Mrs. Beam told her to do, not only to cure me, but to stop the cough from spreading to everyone else in the family. So chopped onions were put on the washstands in our bedrooms, onion bags hung around our necks, and we all went to bed wearing chopped onions in a pair of wool socks. Mother was doing everything Mrs. Beam told her to do. And if everyone came down with a bad cold, it wouldn’t be because she didn’t listen to Mrs. Beam! By the time the lamp was blown out, the upstairs reeked of onions, and my sister vowed she wasn’t going to put a foot outside the next morning to go to school until she washed her hair and had a sponge bath. Well! Talk about a surprise! I didn’t cough once during the night, my nose had stopped running, everyone seemed hale and hearty, and it looked like no one else in the house was going to

get my cold. Audrey doused herself with talcum powder, Mother put dabs of vanilla behind my ears, the brothers were well aired out by the time they came in from doing barn chores, and only the faintest smell of onions remained. So off we went to the Northcote School. Mrs. Beam continued to be the person to go to when sickness invaded a household. Onions and coal oil were her favourite treatments. Mother, who never quite got used to them, nevertheless agreed they were worth trying, and a lot cheaper than the $2 old Doctor Murphy charged for coming twelve-and-half miles out from Renfrew.

Pet Adoptions

Humane Society can immediately identify your pet and call you, even if the collar has been lost. Have pictures available: Sometimes we forget to keep taking pictures when our pet is no longer a puppy or a kitten, but a recent photo can make all the difference when an animal is lost. Keep some updated colour photos available just in case. Watch the front door: When expecting people, lock up animals who are likely to bolt. They may be cranky, but they will thank you for it when they are safe at home. Don’t let cats wander: If you let your cats outside, chances are they will get lost. Even if they have been coming and going for ten years, it doesn’t mean that they will always find their way home, or that someone might assume they are lost and pick them up. Do not let cats outside the house unless you have an enclosed back yard, or you are walking them on a leash. Know your pets: OK, so you’ve lost a black lab cross.What else? Does he know any tricks that make him stand out? Does he have any scars or birth marks? What makes him different from all the other black labs the shelter might receive? These details might make it easier for us to identity your pet.

Your pet should be microchipped, tattooed and be wearing a collar and ID tag. It is not enough just to have one of the above list, two or more are vital. With a collar, someone could pick up your pet on the street and bring it right back to your house. With a tattoo, a vet clinic without microchip readers can check the registry based on the tattoo.
