Loss of highlands ‘devastating’ ‘Losing these woods is losing a part of this history:’ resident JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The loss of the South March Highlands will mean more than losing a natural habitat for endangered species; more than the loss of trails to walk, run and bike on.

For one family it will be a very personal loss if the developers go ahead and build the 3,200-home subdivision in the highlands, on the southern edge of West Carleton-March.

The Gibbons’ son, Christopher, has autism. The family takes walks in the woods four to six times a week to help Christopher with his anxiety levels. “It has the pond, and streams, the water; it’s very calming for him,� wrote Diana, his mother in an email. “It is for people who have autism.�

Autism can affect an individual’s nervous system, making them much more sensitive to day-today stimuli. “Chris’ nervous system is much more sensitive to stimuli than a neurotypical individual,� said Diana. “The woods are a place he can go away from artificial lighting, technological auditory stimuli, and the confusing sounds of crowds. He is much calmer there, he unwinds, and it allows him to get the cardiovascular exercise that he requires. “This is something not only an individual who has autism benefits from, but all individuals; something in our fast-paced world that people do not do enough of.�

“Collision on the runway.�

It’s not what any airport controller wants to hear, but it’s the kind of real-life situation that requires preparation and practice, just in case.

On the evening of Oct. 27, Carp Airport and Ottawa’s emergency services put their capabilities to the test with an airplane-car collision scenario on a pitch-black runway.

The night’s hard work was then reviewed with an eye to improving response to any real incident at the airport.

In the scenario, a two-seat light plane carrying the pilot and a passenger hit a small car that had wandered onto one of the airport’s runways. The result: two people trapped in the crushed car, an injured pilot in the plane’s cockpit and the plane’s passenger ejected and unconscious.

Five years ago, Dr. Robert Cushman started his work at the Champlain Local Health Integration network with a weekly paycheque and a Blackberry, now he heads up a region that covers the area from Deep River to Hawkesbury.

His response to the auditor general Jim Carter’s recent criticisms concerning waste and overuse of consultants.

“Sure there is room for improvement, but to talk about doing away with them isn’t the answer,” he said. “When things were all done through the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care everything was very Toronto centric and the communities were under-served.”

Cushman said community needs are best determined at the local level.

“Maybe we will move to regional health authorities, but I don’t think the answer is to move backwards,” Cushman said.

On the horizon, the folks at the Champlain LHIN will be working with the community care access centres (CCACs) to developing aging at home practices — something that would greatly benefit hospitals like the Queensway Carleton Hospital — which had to cancel scores of elective surgeries last winter due to full beds.

In an earlier interview with Metroland Media, chief of staff Dr. Andrew Falconer said one of the reasons for the bed shortages were the number of elderly patients waiting for alternative levels of care.

Since then, the hospital, the CCAC and the LHIN have been working with local retirement residencies and nursing homes to place patients in interim care beds until they are ready to go home.

The Total Joint Assessment Clinic, a centralized triage centre at the QCH, is another program that was developed in partnership with the LHIN. The program, slashed wait times for knee and hip replacement surgeries by giving patients the options to choose their hospital and surgeon.

Cushman said these developments were possible because LHIN staff works on the ground with the hospital and health care practitioners.

“Is there room for improvement?” Cushman said. “Yes. But I think we are headed in the right direction.”

KNL Developments Inc., a partnership between developers Richcraft and Urbandale, bought the land to build a new subdivision.

“The land is designated for development, both in the city’s official plan and in the former city of Kanata’s official plan,” said Mary Jarvis, land development manager at Urbandale earlier in the summer.

The developers agreed to preserve 40 per cent of the forest, which includes the pond and Trillium Woods, but other areas of the land would be subject to clear-cutting.

Seventeen at-risk species have been located within the forest, including the Blanding’s Turtle.

“It would be a horrible loss not only to the Kanata area, but to the province of Ontario to lose these lands,” said Diana. “This is a land rich in trees and foliage that do not exist in such abundance in other areas. Also, these animals would lose their place to live.”

She said she and her husband Michael were naïve when they bought their house in an undeveloped area.

“We live in an area that backs on to NCC lands. In Kanata, as in many areas of the city, the deer walk about our streets, the raccoons frequent our backyards, the coyotes and foxes are a stones throw away. While from our per-

Continued from front Individuals with autism tend to get used to a routine that helps them function in their daily lives. Repetitive routines are calming, and a break from routine pattern can cause distress.

“From a personal perspective, it would be a great loss for Christopher,” said Diana. “Christopher can not speak on his own behalf. The loss of these lands will be devastating for Chris; this has been part of Chris’ routine and life since he has been a small child.

Individuals with autism are dependent on continuity in their lives. Christopher needs places like the Kanata North lands to keep some consistency in his life, a place where he can walk forth in the world and feel safe.”

Christopher lost his grandmother to leukemia earlier in the year, said Diana, and the loss affected his anxiety levels greatly.

“He was very close to her and as a result his anxiety levels are much higher than before,” she said. “Christopher seeks out this pathway (through the Beaver Pond). When we walk along there he can walk more independently without someone at his immediate shoulder, therefore allowing him the autonomy he desires but can not always have in the hustle and bustle of life.”

The winds of change swept city hall on election night.

Ottawa elected a new mayor on Monday, Oct. 25, as Jim Watson cruised to a lopsided victory collecting 131,258 votes, or nearly half of the vote, easily trouncing the incumbent, Larry O’Brien by 66,405 votes. “Tonight we are celebrating but the hard work starts tomorrow,� said Watson, who celebrated his win with hundreds of well wishers at the Ukrainian Banquet Hall on Byron Avenue. “Each and everyone of you embodies the spirit of our capital.

I’m truly honoured to accept this privilege to serve as your next mayor.�

Watson isn’t the only new kid on the block on council, with voters electing nine new councillors and unseating an unprecedented six incumbents.

O’Brien took only 64,853 votes, a result that marked the end of his four years sitting at the helm of city council.

Clive Doucet finished third with 40,147 votes or 14.9 per cent of the vote, signaling the end of his 13-year career at city hall where he served as councillor of Capital ward.

Former Nepean mayor Andrew Haydon fell into the fourth spot taking 18,904 votes, nearly seven per cent of the vote, followed by Mike Maguire who attracted nearly 2.5 per cent of the vote.

The remaining 15 mayoral candidates collected only three per cent of the vote, led by Robert Gauthier with 1,413 votes.

The polls attracted a low turnout with only 269,547 registered voters casting a ballot in the 2010 mayoral election, down from 300,039 votes cast in the 2006 election.

PREDICTABLE MAYORAL OUTCOME

speech at Broadway’s Bar and Grill in Nepean on election night. “I think people like Jim Watson,� he said. “Certainly (the win) was not about getting things done.�

O’Brien said his four-year term as mayor had its ups and downs.

Earlier this month, the incumbent apologized to voters for his first two years as mayor, calling them “a disaster�.

Watson will be joined by a host of neophytes to city hall including Tim Tierney, who defeated Michel Bellemare by 181 votes in Beacon Hill-Cyrville and Mark Taylor, a former aide to Watson, in Bay ward.

The results of the mayoral race came out as expected with Watson winning a landslide victory over O’Brien.

Watson led in the polls since he declared himself a candidate, holding a double-digit lead over his opponents a week before the election.

This is Watson’s second kick at the can serving as mayor of Ottawa – he was elected mayor of pre-amalgamation Ottawa in 1997. In 2003 Watson was elected MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean and he served in Premier Dalton McGuinty’s cabinet as minister of consumer and business services, health promotion and later municipal affairs and housing.

O’Brien trailed behind Watson for the entire election.

O’Brien congratulated Watson during his concession

Doucet to step back from public stage, reflect and travel Continued from page 5 The other new councillors are: * Scott Moffatt, who defeated Glenn Brooks in RideauGoulbourn. * Katherine Hobbs who beat Christine Leadman in Kitchissippi ward. * Stephen Blais beat Rob Jelllet to take Cumberland ward. * Matthieu Fleury defeated Georges Bedard in RideauVanier by 88 votes.

“He’s been blessed with a wonderful crew,” said

Doucet said he didn’t lose because he campaigned for “the right reasons:” a vision of a city linked from east to west by light rail and a prosperous city filled with strong neighbourhoods.

Doucet said it is now time for him to step back from the public stage and reflect on the future of the world’s cities, and perhaps visit some of them.

Doucet choked on his words as he closed his speech by saying: “But my home, my heart and my greatest hopes will always be for my city, the City of Ottawa.”

O’Brien. “He has a council I would have been happy to lead.”

Watson will need the support of council to bring about his plan to shrink the number of councillors and to limit tax increases to 2.5 per cent per year as well as introduce a borough system model allowing communities to make local decisions.

Doucet told supporters at his Wellington Street campaign headquarters that he had no regrets.

“We didn’t lose,” he said. “We just didn’t win – there’s a big difference.”

SHOT TO BEAT THE FLU One-year-old Chloe Bourassa – seated in her dad Rock’s lap – doesn’t seem to mind receiving a flu shot during a busy flu shot clinic and health fair at the Carp Agricultural Hall on Oct. 28.

When bending over to tie a shoelace, Evelyn Zaklan, member of Osteoporosis Canada, felt a sudden and crushing pain run up and down her back.

Doctors who later examined her found that Zaklan had suffered a compression fracture of one of her vertebrae.

Further bone mineral density testing revealed that the then 54-year-old Zaklan had osteoporosis.

Zaklan’s story is similar to the stories of countless other Canadians who have suddenly experienced a fracture related to osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become thin and porous, decreasing bone strength and leading to increased risk of breaking a bone.

In Canada, a 50-year-old woman has a 40 per cent chance of developing hip, vertebral or wrist fractures during her lifetime.

Hip fractures related to osteoporosis are a serious problem in older individuals.

In 2009 approximately 27,000 Canadians were impacted with a hip fracture of which about 70 per cent are related to osteoporosis.

Unfortunately hip fractures related to osteoporosis result in death in up to 30 per cent of cases – sometimes this can be as early as within one year of the fracture.

A study recently reported that only 44 per cent of people discharged from hospital for a hip fracture return home; of the rest, 10 per cent go to another hospital, 27 per cent go to rehabilitation care, and 17 per cent go to long-term care facilities.

Individuals over the age of 50 are assessed in the fracture clinics after a fracture, recommended for a BMD test and follow up with their family physician.

Orthopaedic champions for the program such as Dr. Paul Kim, Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Ot-

tawa Hospital General site, encourage patients to understand their risk factors for osteoporosis and fractures.

Some of these risk factors include: • Family history of osteoporosis. • Steroid use for more than three months – such as prednisone. • Age 65 or older. • Fracture with minimal trauma after age 40. • Early menopause (before age 45). • Medical conditions (such as celiac disease, Crohn’s disease) that inhibit absorption of nutrients.

Visit Osteoporosis Canada’s website at www.osteoporosis.ca for information on other risk factors that may increase your fracture risk.

The city’s selective traffic enforcement program (STEP) is keeping a close eye in November on motorists who disregard reserved transit lanes, stop lights and travel the wrong way on roadways.

In 2009, motorists’ improper use of reserved transit lanes caused 34 collisions – resulting in 11 injuries and one death. The fine for this infraction is $150.

Driving the wrong way on a roadway is also a serious issue on Ottawa roads.

Between 2007 and 2009, 76 collisions were caused by motorists driving the wrong way on roadways – resulting in 39 injuries, three of which were serious.

Running red lights also made a large impact on 2009 traffic with 773 collisions reported. These collisions resulted in one death and 376 injuries – 18 of them lifethreatening.

Each month since 2004, STEP has been profiling and enforcing specific traffic safety priorities.

Outgoing council should take note of voter confidence The winds of change are blowing in city hall’s direction – 10 new councillors and a new mayor will enter council chambers come Dec. 1.

But until then, we’re going to hear a lot of quacking.

Not the usual politicking or the sort of lamenting that came from councillors and candidates during the election period. No, the quacking we have now is the sound of a lameduck council on its last legs.

The current council is riding out the last wave of its term, but that wave hasn’t crested yet. Unlike municipalities that take things slowly during the post-election period (lame duck or not), Ottawa will be forging ahead with a number of significant votes.

While there is no legal requirement to push ahead

with votes or delay them until the new term begins, there are different schools of thought on the matter.

In St. Catharines, for example, the city clerk told media that staff is reducing council’s workload to save some contentious votes for the new council to “put their stamp on,” even though it is not a lame-duck council.

Of particular interest back in Ottawa, the first site plan for Lansdowne will come before council this month, and because there is no dollar figure attached, it’s up for this council to give it one more kick at the can.

Council can’t vote on things that will cost the city more than $50,000, but that won’t stop it from tackling rezoning Les Soeurs de la Visitation con-

vent in Westboro, and a portion of a land exchange deal for the South March Highlands proposed by Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson. Both of those issues are expected to be on the agenda.

While it is comforting that our current council isn’t throwing in the towel and intends to get something done before it leaves, councillors should consider the way voters have spoken.

Electors gave council a resounding new mandate, and whether or not we see much change in position with the councillors-elect, the point is that voters wanted something new. The voters have put their faith in a new slate, and that’s something council should be aware of as it wades into votes this month.

Steering the boat with a hockey stick

O

nce it was clear that Jim Watson was going to be the next mayor of Ottawa, a somewhat distracted television commentator tried to sum things up: “Jim Watson is someone who can stickhandle the city over some turbulent waters,” he said.

A word to the wise: Keep Jim at city hall and away from canoes.

This is not to say that there wasn’t someone in the mayoralty race with expertise in paddling with a hockey stick. With 20 candidates in the race, it is entirely possible. The problem is, how could any of us voters have known?

On election day, the sight of those 20 names on the ballot was a shock, accompanied by a momentary fear of being able to find your favourite’s name. And it brought to mind an ancient gem of local political wisdom — that candidates with names beginning earlier in the alphabet have an advantage.

There are clearly some flaws in the theory — for example, the fact that a candidate beginning with W won this time; and in the previous election, the candidate beginning with O beat the candidates beginning with C and M. Still, you can see how a less than perfectly informed voter might take the easy way out when faced with 20 choices

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town and looking for someone who can stickhandle over troubled waters.

Now, we would not even be considering such options if the voters were well-informed about those 20 candidates. But even with all our sophisticated means of communication that does not seem possible. Those responsible for news coverage and candidate debates, our main sources of candidate information, narrowed their focus to four mayoralty candidates, leaving the other 16 to fend for themselves.

This is understandable. You’ve probably been to all-candidates meeting where, before you get to hear the candidates you’re interested in, you have to endure what feels like hours of the ravings of nuisance candidates, going on about substances in the water, magnetic orbiting public transit systems and the need for cat licences. But here’s the

thing: not all little-known candidates are nuisance candidates; many of them have interesting things to say. Some have specific issues that are worth considering.

Others are gaining valuable campaign experience that will make them serious candidates the next time.

The people will never know any of that unless these candidates are heard.

The challenge is how to make sure that serious, though little-known, candidates get a fair hearing while at the same time discouraging nuisance candidates.

Various methods have been tried, the silliest one being to raise the deposit fee for candidates. The logic behind this – that candidates willing to ante up a substantial amount a money are somehow more sincere and responsible than those who are not – is clearly undemocratic, not to mention faulty. You have only to look at the number of loony rich people in politics, in both Canada and the U.S., to get the point.

It may be that those who are truly driven and those who are truly compelled to draw attention to themselves will never be dissuaded from seeking office. Our concern should be with the others – so-called “unknown” candidates who have things to say.

New media provide some of the solu-

tion. Those seeking to know anything at all about the elections for school board could find information on the websites of the candidates, which was a good thing considering how little attention the elections received in the mainstream media. But let’s not forget that there are many people – 15 per cent of us, according to Statistics Canada – who don’t have access to the internet from home.

Furthermore, some of the much-touted forms of social media such as Facebook and Twitter, are used by a much smaller percentage of the population than you might think.

Here, as in so many other parts of our existence, technology won’t save us. We are up the creek without a hockey stick.

Residents upset over airport noise levels

WEST CARLETON REVIEW - November 4 2010

Firefighters and paramedics check out the plane’s pilot after his removal from the cockpit.

‘Collision on Continued from front “A car came out,” the man playing the part of the pilot told the Carp Airport staff who were first on the scene.

“I braked and the plane swung around. My friend fell out and I slammed my head into window.”

All four of the victims stayed in character, complaining of various pains and exhibiting symptoms that tested the firefighters and paramedics. All four were prepared for the scenario by St. John’s Ambulance staff, who used makeup and theatrical blood to create some realistic injuries.

The dark open space of the airport challenged all responders, including the next person on the scene, Ottawa police Const. Peter Jeon. Jeon, jumbo flashlight in hand, was able to locate the ejected passenger and relay his condition to the police dispatcher.

Firefighters arrived next, coming in waves just as they would in a real emergency. The fire trucks arrived from stations in Carp, Dunrobin and Kanata. Large floodlights on one truck helped emergency services find their way across the scattered scene of the emergency.

Last on site were the paramedics, who took over medical care that the firefighters had begun.

Triage was in evidence at every step. Each branch of the emergency services checked the scene before getting involved in patient care, and with four victims, resources were assigned where they would be most effective.

Even Jeon said his first review of the scene was all about triage. He chose to leave the unconscious man who was ejected from the plane in favour of trying to save the pilot from further injury.

FIRST TEST

A ‘victim’ is treated while trapped in the passenger seat of a car during a disaster scenario at the Carp Airport on Oct. 27. In the scenario, the car was hit by a small plane using a runway. Firefighters from multiple stations responded and extricated both of the car’s occupants.

The Oct. 27 scenario was the first mock disaster training at Carp Airport.

“We’ve been wanting to do this for six years,” said John Phillips, president of West Capital Developments, the airport’s owner.

Following the wrap-up meeting, Phillips said he was “very pleased” with the outcome. He added he’d like to run a similar scenario every three years, with scaleddown versions annually.

The three branches of the city’s emergency services shared their observations after the scenario. The police, firefighters and paramedics all said operating in pitchblack conditions with few landmarks was a challenge.

“The airport is a very large area,” said Ottawa police acting Insp. Michael Maloney.

Firefighter Brent Fields mans a hose near the airplane, ready to extinguish any fire that might break out.

Continued from opposite page He added that police cars from other parts of the city would be dispatched in the case of a real emergency at the airport.

Officers at an air crash would concentrate on crowd control and may be tasked with marking a landing area for air ambulance helicopters, he said.

ACTIVE RUNWAYS Maloney mentioned another risk emergency responders have to keep in mind at Carp Airport, which sometimes handles air traffic after dark when there is no controller on duty.

“Aircraft could still be landing,” Maloney said.

Paul Morneau headed the paramedic staff on site. He said more resources would be dispatched to an actual emergency, including more staff and the service’s bus, which act as a mobile aid station for multiple patients.

Morneau said paramedics are normally directed to the scene of emergencies when they arrive at Ottawa International Airport, but that didn’t happen at Carp, in part because the airport isn’t staffed around the clock.

He suggested reflective paint be applied along the edges of the runways to help orient responders.

Marking runways could be critical for firefighters, whose heavy, water-laden trucks would likely get stuck if they drove off the tarmac and into the grassy areas between runways.

Mel Robertson, the scenario co-ordinator, said improvements to signage are expected as West Capital Developments begins to take ownership of the airport from the city in the coming months.

Robertson also pledged to lay out map grids for the airport and share those maps in electronic form with the emergency services. With no road names to go by and few landmarks, a grid would allow dispatchers and responders to identify the scene of an incident at the airport.

Ottawa district fire Chief Gerry Pingitore explained his staff ’s approach to disasters may appear slow at times, but is intended to make sure a bad situation isn’t made worse.

“We secure the scene. We’re careful and methodical,” he said, adding that firefighters checked for electrical power and spilled fuel before getting close to the plane.

Pingitore said the fire station on Riddell Drive in rural Kanata has a turret gun that can spray foam over a large area, and would have been used if the plane crash was a real event.

The small plane involved in the scenario is a hive of activity as responders try to gauge which of the four victims requires the quickest medical attention.

Birds from the north meet those from the south MICHAEL RUNTZ Nature’s Way

The recent weather has given us an odd mix of temperatures and air flow.

Those vastly different weather systems have brought with them birds from two distant parts of the continent. Currently birds from the edge of treeline and beyond are making an appearance here while along the shores of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie a species from the far south has just arrived.

The northern bird is one familiar to those who have fed birds in winter. It is a small bird, about chickadee-sized. It usually appears in flocks and eats the seeds of weedy plants. If you don’t know its name the next piece of information should clinch its identity. It sports streaks on its breast and a red cap on its forehead. Of course I am referring to the common redpoll.

Redpolls are now here. They are usually easier to hear than see, especially once you recognize their husky “chit, chit” calls. These tiny finches nest in tundra thickets in summer and in Ontario are confined to the northern reaches of the Hudson Bay lowlands.

They also range across northern Canada and the huge numbers we enjoy in some winters likely come from the northwest. On cold winter nights redpolls perform a feat shared with only one other local bird. Like ruffed grouse they spend the night under the snow. While grouse dive right in, redpolls excavate a small cave.

The word “cave” ties (admittedly in an abstract way) redpolls to the southern visitor. That species eats insects, not seeds, so the recent arrivals will likely have a short life when the cold delivers a knockout blow to their food.

Last week hundreds of cave swallows, birds that nest in Mexico and the West Indies, appeared along the shores of lakes Erie and Ontario. I anticipated their arrival when those strong southwesterly winds were forecast.

However, I spent last Friday scanning the shores of Prince Edward County to no avail. To no surprise I later learned that on that very day flocks of cave swallows were seen at Oshawa, Toronto, Hamilton, and Long Point.

Cave swallows are square-tailed birds that sport an orange rump (the lower back just above the tail), a buffy breast, and a dark cap.

It is easy to understand why redpolls come to our area. Food supply drives them. Cave swallows pose a bit of a mystery, however. No one knows why these late fall movements occur, and not only occur, but have become regular in the last decade.

Perhaps their appearance is indicative of a range expansion.

If you see a swallow in the next few weeks, the odds are extremely high it is one of these southern strays. Please let me know if you do.

THE ACCIDENTAL FARMWIFE Diana Fisher able and didn’t seem interested in my requests for her to follow me to the barn.

“Go get a bucket of corn,” the Farmer suggested. Well, that worked.

For Donkey, anyway. He followed me into the stable. Then Misty followed him.

We hooked their halters up to the stall ties and gave them each some water and hay with their corn ration.

Just then Thad arrived.

He walked right into the stall behind Donkey. “Uh ...

are you used to donkeys?”

I asked, worriedly, “Cause that one bites. And kicks.”

He looked at Donkey.

Donkey looked at him and stopped chewing for a moment. They seemed to form an understanding.

Thad moved around to the other side of Misty.

She was stubborn to lift her foot for him, but she was not at all nervous or jumpy as she had been in previous pedicure sessions.

Her eyes were calm and when he tapped her ankle with his little hammer, she lifted her hairy hoof for inspection. Thad turned his back on her, brought the hoof up between his knees and gripped it firmly while he picked the debris out. She slammed the hoof back down to the ground and Thad jumped out of the way.

This routine repeated itself several times until finally he could see that the soft inner portion of the hoof (known as the “frog”) had abscessed. He cleaned it, put antiseptic on it, and pronounced her cured.

But there were three more hooves to go.

Thad patiently led Misty through the various sig-

One weekend a couple of our dinner guests pointed out that Misty appeared to be favouring her front left foot. Well, no wonder.

The girl hasn’t had a pedicure since before she went off to “summer camp” to be bred, and she has been gallivanting over glacial moraine for the rest of the season.

She probably stubbed her hoof on a rock and cracked it. I called the farrier.

For the next few days we couldn’t get our schedules co-ordinated, so Misty had to wait until the weekend.

Finally, on Sunday night, just as we were welcoming the first of our 18 expected dinner guests, Thad the farrier called. Our knight in oiled chaps. Our saviour of the hooves. He was in the area.

We turned the veggies down to a low boil and headed out to entice Misty into the stable.

It was a beautiful fall day, and we found her standing with her friend Donkey under the low hanging branches near the fenceline. The twigs were scratching her back in the breeze.

She was quite comfort-

The Hospital Insider: Hope is spelled “CyberKnife” Nicolas Ruszkowski

Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital We all know someone who has been touched by cancer. My “someone”, my best friend Christelle, passed away in France seventeen years ago. She was eighteen.

Christelle was booked for surgery immediately after her brain cancer was detected. Complications from surgery led to paralysis. Then came radiation, with painful skin problems and fatigue. Finally, chemotherapy: nausea, immune deficiency, hair loss.

Today, there is new hope. The doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers and psychologists who help our patients battle cancer are finding a better way.

This fall, The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre unveiled Eastern Ontario’s first CyberKnife. Cyber-what?

CyberKnife is the world’s only robotic radio-surgery system. In other words, it performs radiation therapy with precision and effectiveness of surgery. This allows doctors to get at otherwise inoperable tumors without any incision, pain or discomfort to patients.

Krista Kowalchuk, our first CyberKnife patient, underwent the first of three one-hour treatments with her doctors, neurosurgeon John Sinclair and 422939

radiation oncologist Jason Pantarotto, to treat two tumors located on her spine.

Before CyberKnife, Krista’s only options were brain surgery (she has had 5 to remove other tumors) or five-week courses of daily radiation treatment that could damage not only her tumors, but healthy tissue as well.

Today, she needs no anesthetic before her procedure, experiences only slight soreness on the spot where she has been treated, and spends less time in hospital.

CyberKnife is especially effective against brain, lung, prostate, spinal, liver, pancreatic and kidney cancers. While it is not “the cure”, it does help ensure that patients like Krista get more compassionate, effective, and timely care.

Christelle would approve.

Nicolas Ruszkowski is VP Communications and Outreach at The Ottawa Hospital. Each week, he will share behind-the-scenes insight from the hospital.

West Carleton/March Council Notes

Healthy Animal youth contest supports National 4-H Month CFIA November as National 4-H Month, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has launched an animal biosecurity contest for 4-H club members and other like-minded Canadian youth.

The Canadian 4-H Council has a long history of attracting new farmers to agriculture, helping to develop responsible citizens, and building confidence in youth as they learn a wide variety of

skills through hands-on projects. The online contest asks young people to come up with a slogan, a story or lyrics to a song that explain how to keep animals healthy.

The winning submission could be used in the CFIA’s advertisements and national campaigns to inspire others about biosecurity.

“Having healthy animals means healthy food, healthy people and a healthy agriculture industry,” said Dr. Brian Evans, chief veterinary officer

of Canada and newly appointed chief food safety officer of Canada.

Contest information can be found online at www.inspection.gc.ca/biosecuritycontest. The contest closes Jan. 30, 2011.

To learn more about the Canadian 4H Council and National 4-H Month activities, visit www.4-h-canada.ca For more information about Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada programs and services that support young farmers, visit www.agr.gc.ca/youngfarmers

Many rural residents have questions about septic systems, and the March Rural Community Association (MRCA) will devote their November meeting to this topic.

Bill Seabrook of Green Valley Environmental will give a presentation. A question period will follow.

The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m., at the Old Town Hall, 821 March Rd. Enter off Klondike Road, just west of March Road.

There will be an update on community issues: as an example, we will have a delegate on the Kanata north school accommodation committee, which is looking at boundaries for north Kanata schools in the public school board.

Everyone is welcome to attend MRCA meetings, held on the second Wednesday of each month.

Bring your questions and concerns to the meeting.

At the last meeting on Oct. 12, the public had the opportunity to ask questions of all candidates for councillor in West CarletonMarch. The association also elected the executive and board of directors for the coming year.

On Dec. 8, there will be a short presentation by community police officer Peter Jeon, and from Brent Christoff regarding setting up a Neighbourhood Watch program for the community.

SUPER STARTER Rural Root Theatre recently finished another successful run with the presentation of their fall play The White Sheep in the Family.

“It is very rewarding to have people come out to see our shows and we appreciate the patronage,” said Helen Weeden, speaking on behalf of the group.

She added that “(it) seems our audiences really enjoy the musicals, so once again we will present another one in the Spring 2011.”

Ivo Mokros, as director, and Matt Dufresne, as musical director, will be the team heading up the production of All for Your Delight.

The play, staged cabaret style and accompanied by a live orchestra, is set in an old-fashioned music hall. There will be comedy, melodrama and just plain oldfashioned fun.

Several roles are available for both men and women, all ages: late teens upwards. If you would be interested in joining the group as a crew member please feel free to attend the auditions as well.

Check out the Rural Root Theatre’s website at www.ruralroot. org for a very detailed explanation of the play and roles to be filled.

Auditions will take place Nov. 17 and 21st at the Constance Bay Community Centre at 7 p.m.

Change your smoke detector batteries More than 50 years ago, the phrase spring forward and fall back was first coined as an easy reminder for people who had trouble remembering whether to move clocks ahead or back in the correct season.

Just over 20 years ago, the time change was associated with changing the batteries in your smoke alarm.

In more than 60 per cent of fatal fires in Canada, investigators find smoke alarms with the batteries removed, smoke alarms with dead batteries or no alarms at all.

Replacing smoke alarm batteries once per year is a simple but tried-and-true practice that doubles your chances of escaping and surviving a fire.

With the home heating season upon us and the heightened attention on the dangers of carbon monoxide, fall is also a great time to install new batteries in CO alarms.
