The herculean effort to get items from the West Carleton Emergency Food Aid out to the needy would not have happened this year were it not for, from left, Cathy Yocom, Karen Secord, Catherine Kingston and Wendy Deugo. Along with 50 or more helper elves, early Tuesday morning the women helped ensure a merry Christmas comes to dozens of West Carleton families this year.

Every pew in St. James the Apostle Anglican Church next to the Carp Fair-grounds early Tuesday morning is stacked with boxes and grocery bags of food. Even unusual items like wrapping paper poke into the central nave. Teenag-ers and adults are busily lugging stuff to open-mouthed vehicles shivering outside. In the connected Huntley Parish Hall, a line of tall elves in plaid or Michelin Man winter coats are toss sacks of potatoes from one to another like sandbaggers in

an emergency.But it was no emergency, just the count-

less volunteers participating in the West Carleton Emergency Food Aids annual Christmas dinner distribution.

The untrained eye wouldnt see the or-ganized chaos, the teen and adult driver meeting for the rst time, each doing a poor job of suppressing the spirit of the season. But its there, for instance, when a man sporting work clothes and a friendly smile deeks out a dozen elves to make his way to an of cial-looking woman with a clipboard.

Carp parents of youths who are suspected of causing extensive damage to the outdoor rink and surrounding area last week are encouraged to contact police or the community association to begin the restitution process.

On Friday, Dec. 17, oors were damaged, holes kicked into the walls, garbage tossed about and broken beer bottles smashed on the ice surface. No suspects have been identi ed, but youths have been known to hang around the rink even though the red ag is meant to keep people away.

It was the second time this year the rink was vandalized, but the rst time this skating sea-son.

Community police Const. Peter Jeon said the culprits appeared comfortable enough to linger in the area and cause a lot of noise. If residents were more vigilant, that wouldnt happen.

Parents should always know where their kids are, Jeon said, adding that among the rink van-dals are youths who likely live nearby. They should speak to their kids about right and wrong. Its about showing respect to the community.

Jeon said most people made mistakes as teen-agers, and part of learning responsibility is to account for them. He doubts anyone would face jail time or a tarnished record if they come for-ward and do the right thing.

Well work with the parents and kids to nd out how to stop it, he said. We typically dont go from A to Z. Its likely a warning.

However, he also encourages community mem-bers to keep an eye out for illegal activity and call police if anything appears suspicious.

The outdoor rink has few sight lines mean-ing people in nearby homes have dif culty see-ing what is taking place. Other factors make it a place for young people to gather to cause mis-chief, he said.

Continued from front

A similar situation developed in Dunrobin last year. The com-munity centre there is in a re-mote area. With little lighting, easy access to the roof from a nearby shed and other factors that encouraged temptation, two serious cases of vandalism oc-curred. Improvements have since been made. Parents in Dunrobin also stepped forward with their kids and the situation was cor-rected.

The monetary cost in damages at the Carp outdoor rink has yet to be determined.

Jeon and Huntley Community Association president Annie Craig will meet in the new year to discuss making the Carp rink less of a target for kids, and for possibly nding more activities in which bored kids can partici-pate.

HURT AND ANGRY

Still, Craigs voice has a tinge of sadness and anger in it when she talks about the vandalism.

She said it is dif cult enough to nd people to donate their time. Men from the area ood the rink before dawn just so kids can have a place nearby to skate, she

said. Having them do extra work to clean up after area kids is too much.

It frustrates me because we do have the best ice in the city, but with the broken glass its a safety problem. And we have to get ready for people skating on it during the holidays, she said.

Were speculating it is kids. Parents should know where their kids are in the middle of the night.

Vandals owned up in Dunrobin Off-duty re ghter saves mans life

Its the second time in less than a month Paul Carrier has saved a life near his Dunrobin home. But this time it was a little more dramatic.

On the morning of Dec. 13, the 60-year-old vol-unteer re ghter burst through the front door of a re that saw smoke pouring from a basement window under a deck.

The owner was at work, but Carrier thought with school out for Christmas holidays, some-one could still be inside. It is thanks to his yell-ing that Justin Crosby, 16, woke up to escape the re caused by a pellet stove that wasnt venting smoke properly.

A few weeks before, Carrier performed CPR on a woman with no vital signs. She was eventually rescued by on duty emergency crews.

No one was hurt in the house re incident.

Shes wearing red poofy antlers bounc-ing on her head.

I have a truck.Fine. Whats your name?Andrew.A check mark is scratched onto the clip-

board. So, she said, where do you want to

go?Doesnt matter. Galetta. Kinburn.Tags on the boxes in the front pew read

CB and F. Others destined for Dunrobin huddle nearby. She leads him down the line while introducing him to his assis-tant, a lanky lad in a crooked toque.

Her air of authority is greatly dimin-ished once she starts belting out Jingle Bells to the historic rafters above.

You really need to talk to Catherine. Shell help you, she says to an awestruck reporter, after identifying herself as Kar-en Secord.

Catherine Kingston is also busy on the church side, surrounded by eager elves awaiting orders. She kindly spares a mo-ment to run through the stats and trivia:

29 West Carleton families to receive a $300 Christmas package complete with food and presents;

Church groups, hockey teams and a few families typically take on these larger donations, with about four or ve drop-ping out or coming aboard every year;

Over on the hall side, smaller pack-ages are cobbled together for 64 families;

The record-high from a few years back is 125 families;

Donations are down this year in West Carleton and across the city.

That last tidbit doesnt dampen Kings-tons spirits. She knows that many a front door later that day someone will say Thank you so much! and Merry Christmas! This means so much! and

even a few, more quietly, Bless you.Told she ought to get out there to be on

the receiving end of so much gratitude, Kingston just laughs and recalls a card she received one January six years ago.

I dont even remember what it said anymore, but that meant a lot.

In the corridor connecting the church and hall, Andrew Tate and Kingstons son George are stopped and asked what moti-vates them to participate.

Tate, a self-proclaimed grumpy elf who doesnt care if grumps are supposed to be dwarfs, said government doesnt make society run volunteers do. He also called volunteering his social life and said its simply become a habit for him.

Ive volunteered my whole life, Tate said.

George said, laughingly, he was there because his mom woke him up. Then, more seriously, it was about paying it for-ward.

It makes me feel like Im giving back to the community.

In the hall side, banquet tables are lled with mountains of food; cans stack up like Dr. Seuss presents his Christmas classic.

Pat Tate, no relation to Andrew, said do-nations continue to pile in.

It takes an army of volunteers to col-lect it all, she said, then points to the chef elf Cathy Yocom.

She agrees to pause for a moment in the kitchen. Is it any coincidence this takes place in a church, with yourself and many other self-identi ed Christians together to bring food to the less fortunate?

Shes a touch startled by the directness of the question.

No, Yocom said, hesitantly, I feel, personally, it has a lot to do with faith. Im sure not everyone here is a person of faith. But I think faith has a lot to do with it.

Then she was off again, back to her army of expectant elves.

Elves motivated by thank you cards, socializing,

Mom and Christian faith

While there is little doubt some of the vol-unteers helping distrib-ute items from the West Carleton Emergency Food Aid earlier this week are not particu-larly religious, it is no coincidence the church and hall beside the Carp Fairgrounds play a cen-tral role in the event.

El-Chantiry nabs deputy-mayor seatLAURA MUELLER

[email protected]

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry wont just be serving his ward this term he will be representing the en-tire city as one of two deputy mayors.

El-Chantiry will share the prestigious role with Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches. The two deputies will mainly perform ceremonial functions when Mayor Jim Watson is not available.

However, Watson is known as a high-visibility politician who attends many events, including several in West Car-leton during the fall election campaign. The services of deputies may be called upon infrequently.

El-Chantiry did not attend the Dec. 15 council meeting that con rmed his role as deputy mayor because he was at Otta-wa Police Chief Vern Whites wedding in Finland. In an email, El-Chantiry wrote that he is honoured to serve that role.

I believe that Mayor Watson has seen the value of my hard work on behalf of our rural residents, and the city as a whole, he said.

We have so many great things happen-ing in the city right now and it is excit-ing to be invited to play such a signi cant part of these changes.

While the role will add to his workload, El-Chantiry said his ward constituents will always come rst.

I anticipate that there may be a little more juggling of my schedule going on, but for the most part, I dont expect there will be much of an impact. I will con-tinue to provide the dedication to West Carleton-March that they have become accustomed to and will always put them rst, he wrote.

My previous experience in the role of acting mayor last term indicated that it is a case of adding some hours to my com-mitments - not necessarily a bad thing, since I have recently sold my business and would be happy to put the time and energy into this honourable role.

In addition to his role as deputy mayor, El-Chantiry will sit on the committees for agriculture and rural affairs, community and protective services and the audit sub-committee.

He will also continue as chairman of the Ottawa Police Services Board.

El-Chantiry has served on city council since 2003.

QADRI AND WILKINSON

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri will sit on the agriculture and rural affairs commit-tee; community and protective services committee; planning committee; the new interim transit commission, which will be complete when members of the public join it in the new year; and the Ottawa Public Library Board.

Transportation is about more than roads, says Kanata North Coun. Mari-anne Wilkinson. Its also about planning for cycling, pedestrians and transit infra-structure.

Thats the message Wilkinson sent to begin her term as chairperson of the citys transportation committee. Com-mittee members and chairs were chosen at councils meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 15.

The transportation committee was the only committee that saw two members

nominated to lead it. Orleans Coun. Bob Monettes name was put forward, but he declined to stay in the running and Wilkinson was acclaimed.

Wilkinson will also sit on the Ottawa Public Library Board, the interim tran-sit commission and the nance and eco-nomic development committee (called FEDco). She will also return to the in-formation and technology subcommittee, which she previously led, as well as the audit and member services subcommit-tees.

Just in time for ChristmasKanata Rec 2012 is proud to Launch their buy-a-tile campaign.Buy-A-Tile: Buy your place in the futureWhat does it take to build a modern state of the art Recre-ation Center? A supportive community - just ask Councillor Marianne Wilkinson.One of Councillor Wilkinsons stated goals, during her last cam-paign, was to see the completion of Kanatas new Recreational Centre by 2012 (KanataRec 2012). The new facility is about to go under tender. One of the unusual features of the massive building is an eight lane swimming pool. The City has a policy to support the building of six lanes for our pools. Wilkinson said. We knew before we started building that six lanes would not accommodate our communitys needs.The Community Steering Committee, Chaired by Steve Hulaj presented a plan to add two extra lanes to the building. The City agreed as long as the community raised the extra 1.75 Million dol-lars the extra lanes will cost.Terry Sheldon, Chair of the KanataRec 2012 Fund Raising Commit-tee, is spearheading an ambitious, multi-staged campaign (see ad this page) to raise those necessary bucks!This is nothing if not a worthwhile cause, Sheldon said. Our bur-geoning Kanata community has long outgrown its once generous recreational facilities. KanataRec 2012 is designed to meet com-munity needs for today and well into the future.Community is key. The idea behind KanataRec 2012 is that it will be a facility created, in no small part, by the people and for the people.

As Sheldon tells it, community involvement at every stage is key to the projects success. Steve Hulaj, a community pheom, well known for his active, continuing, leadership in spearheading the move to save Kanatas South March Highlands and Beaver Pond, Chaired the Steering Committee. Now they have turned the next stage over to the Fund-Raising Committee. I believe that with the support and involvement of Kanata residents, we will see the ribbon cut, the facility opened, and the fi rst swimmers into the pool in 2012. But to do that we need the Communitys help.Buy-A-Tile, a fund-raising incentive kicking off today, just in time for Christmas, will allow individuals, families and, ultimately cor-porations, to buy into the future, in Sheldons words.Theoretically, the pool is composed of 32,000 individual tiles of which 10,000 are being made available, on a one-time basis, to buy in support of the new Centre. Were going to start releasing those fi rst 10,000 tiles to the public immediately just in time for Christmas, explains Sheldon. But its a limited unique opportunity. Once theyre gone theyre gone!Talk about getting the perfect present for the person who has everything! From grandmothers to toddlers, to that diffi cult friend ... spend ten bucks, yes just ten dollars, and you not only get a personalized, numbered certifi cate but your name (or the name of the person for whom you buy the tile) will be spelled out on the walls of the centre.

Furthermore, Your name, or the name of that special person as well as their tile number, is immortalized. Its there from the time the pool opens and remains there for the life of the pool; the owners own particular future footprint.But this will only happen with the fi rst ten thousand tiles. These will never, ever be re-sold, Sheldon stated categorically, adding and if people are inspired to dive down and see their tile site, a map showing the numbered placements will be displayed on the wall.The rule is one tile per name. If a family of four buy four tiles theyll obviously be in a block of four tiles, explained Sheldon and as for buying, were making it easy and most important at this time of year aff ordable.After payment (credit cards and cheques are accepted: see ad this page) the donor receives an attractive certifi cate with an area left blank for the name of the individual receiving the gift. Each certifi -cate also bears the number of a tile that matches the legend on the wall of the Centre where every tile is identifi ed.Aff ordability is very important, said Sheldon. We want as many people as possible to get involved and to know that through their investment, they take ownership in an important facility that Kanata has needed for some time.Buy-A-Tile: the perfect present for that hard-to-shop for person in your life and the perfect way of building for the future of your Kanata community.

Editorial

Disturbing lack of council debateGentlemen, start your bulldoz-

ers and rev up those chainsaws. The trees are coming down.

Ottawa city council has given the nal thumbs up for KNL to start work on a housing develop-ment on 29 hectares of forest north of the Beaver Pond.

Saying council approved the development is a tad misleading.

You see, they didnt actually debate the issue.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she couldnt put a motion on the table asking council to buy the land because she didnt have the support of council.

Didnt have the support of the mayor.

Didnt have the support of the west-end councillors even.

The only ones to offer even leukwarm support were council-lors Shad Qadri, Diane Holmes and David Chernushenko.

KNL had agreed to swap 2.5 hectares of land (in exchange for ve hectares of land protected by the 40 per cent greenspace agreement) but that offer was good only if council agreed to al-low the development to proceed with no more roadblocks.

And if council persisted with its meddling, the threat of an OMB hearing loomed in the background.

Apparently, our newly-elected council doesnt have the stomach to ght developers at the Ontario Municipal Board.

In their defence, this develop-ment has already been vetted through the OMB its outcome was as much in doubt as the drum-head trials of the French Revolution.

Most irking in this non-deci-sion, was that council didnt even have the courtesy to debate the issue.

The matter was settled back-stage, beyond the prying eyes of the pesky public. Dont want to raise a fuss, dont you know.

Never mind the thousands of residents pressing to save a valu-able forest.

Never mind the development never should have been ap-proved in the rst place.

Pass the buck, and focus on more important issues like saving money by not buying sandwiches for councillors dur-ing meetings.

The Beaver Pond decision raises a number of disturbing questions.

Will this council continue along the vein of settling issues backstage? If so, why even bother with debating issues at council?

Might as well replace it with a muppet show at least youll entertain the public.

Surviving the Christmas movieBefore the inevitable mellowing out of

Christmas Day, there is a lot of irritation that has to be overcome.

The components of that irritation are familiar to you.

People losing their minds in their cars, rushing around on their all-weather tires, engaging in road rage in shopping centre parking lots.

Not being able to get out of jammed shopping centre parking garages.

Icky Christmas muzak, featuring carols sung by Elvis, Mariah Carey and the Chipmunks, from Nov. 1 on.

Media-fueled frenzy over the toy that everyone is going to feel guilty not buying for their child. This is now accompanied by Internet-fueled frenzy as canny buyers resell that toy at hyper-in ated prices.

Newspaper advice columns warning about inappropriate behaviour at of ce Christmas parties.

Of ce Christmas parties, where the guests are now so worried about inappro-priate behaviour that they spend all their time looking at their phones.

People who did behave inappropriately driving home from of ce Christmas par-ties.

All of this, when not life-endangering, is tough on the spirit, and it should be a relief to arrive home safely, take off your

boots and plunk down in front of the television set.

Except that the only thing on the televi-sion set, aside from poker and wrestling and real housewives from somewhere, is a movie about a man and a woman who want to announce their engagement on Christmas Eve but cant because Rudolf got lost on 34th Street and has to be res-cued before the Christmas pageant can go on, and the man and the woman quarrel over some misunderstanding, meanwhile the Spirit of Christmas is being held hostage by an evil banker and only Han-nah Montana can persuade him to let it go but rst she has to sing a Christmas song and her band is stuck in a snowbank in Beverly Hills and none of the usual angels are available, so the call goes out to the neighbours collie dog . . .

Thats on every channel and you know

how it turns out with big uffy globs of snow falling slowly and everybody hug-ging and looking up in the air and saying Happy Holidays to each other.

The preponderance of Christmas movies on our airwaves must be particu-larly annoying to those of us who dont celebrate Christmas, but it is annoying enough to everybody.

But just as all Christmas music is not icky think of the traditional carols, the Messiah, even the Charlie Brown music of Vince Guaraldi not all Christmas entertainment is pointless and insulting.

The play nativity just concluding its run at the National Arts Centre is an en-joyable combination of spirituality, music and farce.

Despite its irreverent treatment of the subject (coyotes in the manger!), it doesnt seem to have offended anyone, which goes to show that audiences are more resilient and open-minded than they are often given credit for.

And of course there are the classic mov-ies that you can watch again and again the original Miracle on 34th Street, just about any version of A Christmas Carol, Its a Wonderful Life (with its brilliant portrayal of the hellish life of Bedford Falls had there been no George Bailey).

White Christmas (just to hear Rose-

mary Clooney sing and watch the worlds most ridiculous plot device: Bing Crosby going on network television to ask people to keep a secret from his old general, Dean Jagger).

A couple of the newer ones arent so bad. A Christmas Story (1983) has its mo-ments and there is nothing like watching Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa to com-fort the truly grouchy among us.

The problem is that Hollywood has to keep pumping out new holiday movies each year, the majority of which associate the miracles of the season mostly with couples getting engaged.

It all makes you look forward to the New Year, when people go back to do-ing what they do best on TV running through hospitals and shooting at helicop-ters.

Attempting to slow down lifeI dont know how life

suddenly became so busy. We dont have kids to ferry around to hockey or soccer; only one remains at home and she is pretty self-suf- cient. We have less than a 15-minute commute to work in Kemptville, and we spend the majority of each weekend at home. Still, life goes whizzing by.

Some of our best mo-ments are spent at the dinner table, in the garden, or in the barn. Just living, working, talking together. The best memories are not built in front of the televi-sion or computer.

The computer is a neces-sary evil, keeping us con-nected to work and friends and news in the rest of the world. But I think we can do without the TV. In 2011, the Farmer and I are going to look at our life to see how we might attempt to slow it down by simplifying things a bit.

I love living in a region with four distinct seasons but they mark the pas-sage of time in a way that clearly shows you how fast life is passing. Last winter

we were praying for a dear friend with brain cancer. This winter we are burying him.

Its been almost three years since we lost my dad. Three years. But as I watched the movie The Bucket List last week, the tears ran down my face. It is very dif cult to recover from the loss of a perma-nent xture in ones heart.

I have friends entering

menopause, ghting cancer, burying their husbands. Yesterday we were in high school.

Our lives are a blip on the screen. The best we can do is to surround ourselves with positive people, to keep traveling uphill, and to pause to appreciate the moments.

This morning my mother called to tell me she would not be at Sunday dinner. Instead she would be visit-ing with her own 95-year-old mother Vicky, who had recently suffered a fall. Vicky was only slightly hurt in the fall, thank goodness, but it put things into perspective. Occasion-ally she falls down and has to remain on the oor for several hours until she is discovered. She has left the water running in the bath-room for the entire day. She left the milk to burn on the stove. It is becoming unsafe for Vicky to continue to live on her own. At times like this, I wish we were Italian.

If we were Italian, I might be a stay-at-home Mom, and we could move our aging parents and

grandparents into the spare wing of the house. There they would enjoy their golden years, and pass their wisdom on to the younger generation our children and grandchildren.

But alas, we are not Ital-ian. We work outside the home, and we are not able to move our aging family members in with us. It is time to nd a new home for Vicky.

Vicky has been through some hard winters, living in a little schoolhouse in Quebec where her husband hunted, she gardened and they traded their goods for eggs at the farm down the road. As a single mom of four boys and one girl, Vicky learned to be thrifty, resourceful, creative and optimistic. When she doesnt understand or can-not hear what you are say-ing, she giggles. She doesnt get frustrated or upset she just laughs. Thats Vicky.

And this gorgeous woman, who still paints her nails to match her russet-red hair, deserves the very best for the last few seasons of her long life.

# 3843 KirbyThis easygoing, social kitty will make a

wonderful companion for some lucky family.

Kirby is a two-year-old white and grey neutered

male. He was a stray cat who was brought to the

shelter in October. Kirby is very friendly and

affectionate and is a gentle cat who gets along

with both other cats and children. He is playful

and curious but also has his quiet times. .

# 3374 ArielleThis pretty cat loves to be petted and brushed. Arielle is a four-year-old buffy orange spayed female who was brought with her kittens to the shelter last April to nd new homes. She is a quiet cat who can be a little shy until she knows you, but once she warms up she is affectionate. Arielle will need to be put on a diet in her new home because she is a very large cat. Arielle would be best suited in a quiet home and she gets along well with other cats.

Supplies the shelter needs are non-clumping cat litter, dog cookies, paper towels and laundry soap.

You can call the Arnprior and District Humane Society at 613-623-0916between noon and 5 p.m Monday to Saturday or visit www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca

The shelter is collecting UPC codes from all bags of Whiskas dry cat food until the end of December 2010.

Pet Pics with Santa is Dec. 11 and 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Arnprior Mall.

Council abandons proposal to buy

Beaver Pond landLAURA MUELLER

[email protected]

The ght to save the Beaver Pond lands has ended with a deal to save less than three hectares of the environmentally sensitive forest.

City council agreed to the land swap that will protect an 80-metre wide, 2.5-hectare swath of land connecting Tril-lium Woods to the Beaver Pond.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkin-son had tried to come up with a deal for the city to purchase more than 29 hect-ares of land in the area from KNL Devel-opments to protect it from a subdivision thats planned for the area. But that idea fell apart in the past week, with represen-tatives from KNL saying the deal was mis-represented to council.

SMALL LAND SWAP

The citys lawyer, Timothy Marc, ini-tially told councillors at the Dec. 15 meet-ing that KNL wasnt even in favour of the land swap to protect the 2.5-hectare link, but Wilkinson and Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume were able to hash out a deal with

KNL during the meeting.Wilkinson said she was disappointed

that she wasnt able to save more of the lands, but she called herself a prag-matist.

Im not happy with getting so little, but Id be even unhappier if we got noth-ing. The way that it was working around today, it was the only thing I could get through council, Wilkinson said, add-ing that shed rather get something than nothing.

The 2.44-hectare por-tion of the Beaver Ponds lands that the city made a deal to protect is shown as the darker gray portion of this map of the future Phase 9 of KNL Developments sub-division. The red dots indicate four mother butternut trees that Coun. Marianne Wilkin-son says can be used to multiply the species.

493 teams to vie for Bell Capital CupJESSICA CUNHA

[email protected]

Over 8,000 hockey players will descend on Ottawa from Dec. 29 to Jan. 3 for the 12th annual Bell Capital Cup.

The tournament, which runs from Dec. 30 to Jan. 3, will see teams come from as

far as Beijing, China. Average-wise, Id say we are expecting

around 8,380 players, said Matt Bennett, the general manager for the Bell Capital Cup. Last years cup saw 8,500 players take part.

Players from 19 divisions will take to the ice during the ve-day competition,

with 493 teams vying for a championship spot.

When everything is all said and done well have 993 games played, said Ben-nett.

Fourteen teams will be attending from various parts of Europe and Asia, and for the rst time South Korea will take part

in the cup tournament, said Bennett.The Ottawa-area will be well repre-

sented, with 265 teams competing for the top spot, including the Kanata Blazers, Nepean Raiders, West Carleton Warriors, Ottawa Sting and Gloucester Rangers.

Carps de Haan named alternate Captain Canada

PETER CLARK

[email protected]

Hockey fans throughout West Carleton will have an added reason to watch Team Canadas quest to win gold at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Buffalo, New York this year.

One of their own will be bolstering the blueline core for the red and white.

Carps Calvin de Haan is not just one of only four returning players back from last years silver medalist squad, but he has earned the con dence of the coach-ing staff to be named an alternate captain with the team whose run for gold of cial-ly starts Boxing Day when they take on Russia on TSN at 4 p.m.

Windsor Spit res defenceman Ryan El-lis will serve as captain, while Spokane Chief defenceman Jared Cowen and Brandon Wheat Kings forward Brayden Schenn will join de Haan as the teams al-ternate captains.

De Haan of the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League was the 12th pick overall by the New York Islanders in the 2009 National Hockey League Entry Draft.

In 25 games since being returned from

the Islanders to the Generals on Oct. 6 this season, De Haan has registered two goals and 21 assists.

He and the rest of the 2010-11 edition of the junior hockey team will attempt to add to Team Canadas impressive medal-winning history.

Canada has taken home medals at 12-consecutive IIHF World Junior Cham-pionships, including gold medal perfor-mances in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, silver medals in 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2010 and bronze medals in 2000 and 2001.

Golf course closed to snowmobiles

Your local snowmobile club is nothing more than a group of community vol-unteers who are willing to take the time and energy to contribute the growth of the sport. Often, its a thankless task that seems to involve one step back for every two forward. For every victory there al-ways seems to be a new challenge or prob-lem to be confronted.

The recent loss of a key connecter trail in the Constance Bay area is a case in point. For as long as most can remember the Cop-perdale Golf property on Dunrobin Road has been an important link between Que-bec and the Arnprior/Carp and Dunrobin regions.

Has the relationship always been totally smooth? No inevitably issues arise but as with all of our landowners we work hard to resolve problems. With good signage and fencing, off-trail excursions have been kept to a minimum. We have worked well with the current owners but unfortunately it appears that their current vision does not include snowmobile use in the winter months.

Effective immediately entry onto the Copperdale property is trespassing and the West Carleton Snow Trails are asking all members to respect the closure. We are

scrambling at this time to arrange a de-tour and will have signage in place as soon as possible.

Volunteer landowners remain the cor-nerstone of any effective trail system. Whats in it for them? About the same as for any community volunteer whether it be minor hockey, the fair board or the Legion: a commitment to a cause and the understanding that their sel ess contribu-tion builds the fabric of the community.

Organized, responsible snowmobiling has truly become an integral part of our rural heritage and way of life. We thank our landowners and volunteers who con-tinue to work to make it happen.

TRAILS STATUS

If only getting the trails open was as easy as just having snow. Between tem-perature uctuations and the lack of frost, packing a lasting base at this time of year is impossible. Rather than waste money or damage equipment it is better to wait and pack a base that will last all season.

At this point all of the WCST system is closed. Jumping the gun and heading out now not only means you are trespassing on private property but will quite likely cause us even more landowner headaches.

We will get them open as soon as we pos-sibly can (see paragraph one re: volun-teers).

In the meantime, www.wcstai.com or www.ofsc.on.ca provide the latest updates on where to ride legally.

Boxing Day: a day you can count onMICHAEL RUNTZ

Natures Way

For many people Boxing Day is a day for recover-ing from food, family, and other Christmas excesses.

For a few of us, it is a day for taking part in the annual Pakenham-Arn-prior CBC: Christmas Bird Counts that are conducted across North America. Each takes place on a cho-sen day near Christmas and covers a standardized area, a circle with a 7.5-mile radius.

Observers record all birds seen or heard in their count area.

The rst CBC took place in New York in 1900 as a protest against the annual Christmas shoot, in which participants killed all ani-mals they encountered and then tallied their results at days end.

A mere 13 years later, Charles Macnamara (after whom the Macnamara Field Naturalists Club is named) started the Arn-prior CBC, which ran until 1939. In 1925 Edna and Allan Ross started a CBC

in Pakenham. That count continues today under the name Pakenham-Arn-prior.

I have participated on that count since 1966. Details of my rst are still fresh in mind.

Bud Levy arranged the Arnprior contingency of the Pakenham CBC and we started at 9 a.m. High-lights were a Red-breasted Nuthatch, a Pileated Woodpecker, a ock of Red Crossbills, and old cheese and crackers. A total of around a dozen species was tallied that day.

Nowadays my count starts before dawn in order to hear owls, and over the day I might tally 30 species. With everyones contributions, the total count usually reaches 50 species.

In 2001 a record 66 spe-cies were recorded. In 2008 more than 9,800 individual birds were counted. Since they began, our local counts have produced an incredible 118 different species!

That remarkable diversity is due to more

participants (around 25 people now participate), improved access (Macna-mara conducted counts solely on foot; the Rosses used horse and sled until the advent of school buses created need for ploughed roads; this allowed the use of cars), and enhanced knowledge.

Additionally, a prolif-eration of birdfeeders provides food for lingering birds as well as a means to easily view them.

One of the most enjoy-able aspects of a CBC is that one never knows what might be encountered. All ndings are kept secret until the compilation, and much bravado accompa-nies the announcement of a prize nd.

Last year three new spe-cies - Iceland Gull, Rusty Blackbird, and Swamp Sparrow - were added to the list.

The Pakenham-Arn-prior CBC circle includes Arnprior, Galetta, Waba, Cedar Hill and Pakenham.

If you have a birdfeeder in this area and want to report an unusual bird or

keep track of birds on count day, please contact me.

On Boxing Day I will not be seeking bargain prices. Instead I will be celebrating the true sig-ni cance of that day; Boxing Day is for the birds.

Continued from 13Every district in the ODHA (Ot-

tawa District Hockey Association) will be represented this year, said Bennett.

Teams will also be coming from British Columbia, Nunavut, Que-bec, New Brunswick and Nova Sco-tia.

Twenty-two rinks will play host to the games, from Navan to Aylmer to Kanata, said Bennett, with every championship game being played at Scotiabank Place.

I think its de nitely going to be one of the most memorable hockey experiences theyre going to have, said Bennett.

FAN FEST

This year, the inaugural Fan Fest will be held at the Bell Sensplex on Dec. 29.

NHL Ottawa Senators alumni will be present, along with a Hock-ey Hall of Fame exhibit and a sports memorabilia auction with funds go-

ing to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Eastern Ontario, said Bennett.

He said the Bell Capital Cup is expected to bring in around $15 mil-lion for the local economy.

Tournament passes sell for $12 and cover all ve days. Adult day passes go for $5, senior day passes for $3. Children under 12 attend for free. Ticket sales are used to sup-port local minor hockey associa-tions and charities.

Ottawa, December 14, 2010

How do we rst learn about Emergency Rooms (ER)?

I was 12, visiting a farm in Cantley, Quebec. My brother Stan and I spent hours exploring the barn.

We found hay stacked from ceiling to oor. We jumped from bales perched several meters up, to those down below.

The fun lasted until Stan took aim at pile of hay from high above, and landed on a oor, hidden under only centimeters of hay. There was a loud crack! He got up holding his broken arm. He turned pale. We ran for help.

My mother drove him to the closest ER. The wait took forever. I didnt see him until next morning.

How much has changed? Long ER wait times are still the norm.

But theres been signi cant progress. Dedicated nurses, doctors and other health professionals ensure most emergency patients receive timely care.

Take our hospital, for instance. Critically injured patients and those with life threatening conditions are seen within moments.

Otherwise, an ER nurse aims to see a patient within 15 minutes, assigning them to one of three streams of care.

For those with minor problems, the walking wounded, Ontarios wait time target is less than 4 hours. Thanks to governments work with

hospitals to divert cases to family doctors or walk-in clinics, and to improve our ability to fast track patients through ER when they do visit, the number of such visits declined by 15% since last year. And 75% of patients spend less than 4 hours in ER.

For sicker patients who need more care, but not admission to hospital, the wait-time target is 8 hours or less. This is the largest group of ER patients. Over the past year, visits from these patients grew by 16%. Despite the surge, we cared for 85% of within 8 hours. In fact, we treated 5,800 more patients (33 per day) within 8 hours than we did last year.

Were getting better.

Yet the system is slowest for those waiting for admission to a hospital bed. The target wait time in this case is 8 hours. Here, we have not improved.

Why?

Hospitals operate most ef ciently at occupancy levels of 88% to 92%. Unfortunately, for several years weve operated every day at more than 100% occupancy (with more patients than beds). As a result, we achieve an 8-hour wait less than 20% of the time.

Delays happen not because of ER inef ciencies, but because acute care beds are increasingly occupied by patients who would ideally receive their care outside the hospital, but for whom there is a shortage of care in the community.

Its easy to point ngers at each other to x the system. But no single government, hospital, community or health provider can do it alone.

Improvements in ER happened when we all worked together.

Lets do the same to build a plan that ensures every patient receives care in the most appropriate setting.
