Power of virus therapies offers hope for future cancer remissions
Ottawa HOspital ReseaRcH institute/submitted
Dr. Guy Ungerechts, right, a physician-scientist at the Ottawa Hospital, speaks with senior scientist John Bell at the General campus’ Centre for Innovative Cancer Research. They are widely considered pioneers in cancer-fighting viral therapy research.
Continued from page 1
Oncolytic viruses – vi-ruses specifically designed to melt or break up cancer cells – are not a new con-cept.
“since 100 years ago, there were some case reports and first evidence that these viruses can actually work against cancer,” ungerechts said, referring to cases in which a patient’s cancer went into partial remission after they became infected with the measles virus.
Research indicates that when the measles virus is injected directly into a tu-mour, it not only kills can-cer cells, the virus replicates and also unleashes a cancer patient’s immune system, giving it the boost it needs to fight off future cancer cells.
“we have some evidence from our mice work that we can actually vaccinate against cancer,” said un-gerechts, who relocated from Germany to Ottawa last march.
pairing two viruses – the measles virus with the maraba virus, first identi-fied in brazilian sandflies, – to create a cancer-fight-ing duo is something un-gerechts’ mentor, bell, is pioneering.
last year, bell’s team an-nounced its combination treatment of the maraba virus and the adenovirus (a form of the common cold virus) were entering a
phase-one human clinical trial – a world’s first.
ungerechts is hopeful his virus cocktail will take that one step further.
“by exchanging the ad-enovirus with the measles virus, i believe we have a much more stronger formal therapy because by itself the measles virus is a good oncolytic,” he said, referring to its cancer-killing abilities.
the measles virus can be administered directly into the tumour, while the ad-enovirus is injected into the muscle.
another difference is
the measles virus replicates within the tumour, unlike the adenovirus, which does not have the same effect.
in a mayo clinic patient clinical trial involving the measles virus, a patient suf-fering from end-stage mul-tiple myeloma – a type of blood cancer – was given a single shot of the measles virus last year.
Her cancer went into complete remission for more than six months.
“it was overwhelming,” ungerechts said of the re-sults. “even in Germany my phone was ringing all the
time because people know that i’m working with mea-sles, and everybody wanted to get cured by a single shot of measles virus. but it’s not that easy.”
such work is decades in the making and there are many steps before such a therapy gets to the clinical trial stage.
it is also expensive work.ungerechts’ research re-
cently caught the attention of the terry Fox Research institute, which awarded him a $450,000 new inves-tigator grant over the next three years. ungerechts is also receiving funding from the Ontario institute for cancer Research and the Ottawa Hospital Founda-tion.
“so the new immuno-therapy approaches and oncolytic virus therapies ... it (raises) some of the hope that we have really some-thing which is paradigm-shifting … because what we have observed in the last years is that with certain types of immunotherapy we can get ongoing, long-term
remissions with cancers,” he said.
the right therapy means not just relying on tradi-tional cancer treatments.
“there’s a problem with ... our substances we use for cancer treatments. it doesn’t matter if it’s a virus or any chemotherapy or therapeu-tic,” ungerechts said.
“For most of the solid tumours, we don’t have any cures if it’s a late-stage can-cer.”
ungerechts hopes his vi-rus duo will go to clinical
trial in the next three years.and while it may give
some people hope that a treatment can soon be de-veloped, he said at this early stage that hope may be pre-mature.
“i’m always afraid that we give many patients too much hope at a very early time, so we need to be care-ful,” ungerechts said. “it needs to be a balance.”

With videos and reports of terrible attacks and bombings going on in Syria, the best anti-ISIL media images have been the pho-tos of smiling families, said the former ambassador to Syria.
“There hasn’t been a bet-ter narrative against ISIL
and the terror they have committed in the region than the smiling faces of those refugees coming off the plane, and the people who have welcomed them,” said Alexandra Bugailiskis, who served as Canada’s am-bassador to Syria from 1997 to 2000.
“Just the average Cana-dian who has opened their houses and their homes and told them they are welcome. They’ve left that airport be-ing permanent residents, what a powerful statement.”
Bugailiskis spoke at a dip-lomatic reception for Syrian refugees hosted on Feb. 2 at
city hall by the Rotary Club of Ottawa.
Shadi Al-Dakhil, a refu-gee who has been in Canada for 10 months, provided a bit more of that narrative with his wife and four children – including seven month old Stephane, who was born in Canada, by his side.
He talked about the dif-ficulty his family faced in Syria: he was shot in the leg while on his way to work, the children changed schools three times in one year because of bombings at the schools, his wife would have to hide the children un-der the bed or in the wash-room, and his best friend was killed when a bomb went off in his house.
Even after the family, split into two groups, made the long journey to Leba-non, he didn’t think about resettling anywhere else be-cause it seemed like such a long shot.
“I said, what? Canada? You don’t (even) dream (of that). I can go to Canada? No, no, that’s impossible,” he said he told his friend when first asked about the possibility of coming here.
He didn’t know that there was a man in Ottawa, also named Shadi – Shadi Al-Khalil – was who working to help connect the most
vulnerable families with sponsor groups in Ottawa. He connected the Al-Dakhil family with Holy Redeemer Roman Catholic Parish in Kanata.
The family is now safe in Kanata, in a rental apart-ment with donated winter boots and clothes, the chil-dren in school and fluent in English, and Shadi is work-ing at a grocery store in the afternoons while he studies English in the mornings.
“When we arrived to Toronto we feel wow, we are in Canada,” Shadi Al-Dakhil said. “You feel wow, this is the country where I will live, with these nice people. Our church, thank you, thank you, thank you – they give us everything. We have a team who have helped us. Who drive us, who give us cloth-ing, who give us money, who teach the kids. I think God everything is okay.”
His daughter Syriana broke out in a big smile when her father mentioned she’s now enrolled in gym-nastics; Sofi said her older brother and her are excited to play soccer for the second year this summer.
For 13-year-old Sofi, she said she realized how kind Canadian people are when an ambulance drove by,
and the car she was in with friends all started to pray for the unknown person inside.
“Oh my gosh, they’re so nice. Canadian people are so nice,” Sofi said.
“I was so impressed.” Bugailiskis said Canadi-
ans should expect to see Syr-ian families integrate well in Canada, based on her time as ambassador.
“I learned the words gen-erosity and hospitality in meeting the Syrian people,” she said. “They would give you their last cup of tea, or their last teaspoon of sugar. They’re coming from a so-ciety that up until recently was open and tolerant. But we all knew there was a nas-ty underling to the country, and it was the government that did not respect democ-racy, human rights.”
Bugailiskis, who spoke to a crowd that included mul-tiple diplomats and Minis-ter of Immigration, Refu-gees and Citizenship John McCallum, explained why it’s important that Canada has helped bring refugees here, but has also provided support for those in refugee camps.
“We cannot have a lost generation, that will lead to more radicalization and ter-rorism,” she said, speaking of the families who remain
overseas. “So part of it is this very
key element … to also make sure those who are left in the region are well looked after and can survive, and are giv-en the skills, the hope, the education, that will let them come back.”
There are many refugees who have moved to com-munities that are suddenly flooded with a population influx and have needed sup-port to be able to deal with sometimes millions more people.
“This is really our invest-ment in our future, not only for the Syrians and their fu-ture,” she said.
“But in our future to say we will not allow terror and evil to overcome and we will fight it, not just through military means but through humanity.”McCallum said there are up to five airplanes a day carrying refugees to Canada, and the challenge is now to make sure that the refugees are properly re-ceived and settled.
At the end of the event, the Rotary Club of Ottawa, which hosted the event, an-nounced the club has raised $33,000.
The money was presented to the Christ Church Ca-thedral to support brining more refugees to Ottawa.

Greely elementary school students learn about the entrepreneurial spiritSubmitted
Mrs. Allen’s grade 5/6 class at Greely Elementary School (GES) and the Greely Busi-ness Association (GBA) in conjunction with the Learn-ing Partnership are working to raise funds for the Ottawa-based grassroots movement, Do It For Daron (DIFD).
The Do It For Daron web sites states, “DIFD is about inspiring conversations, rais-ing awareness, and transform-ing youth mental health”. This organization was chosen by the students in the class at GES.
The students will raise money by running two proj-ects. The first project is the manufacture of a “cookbook” containing many delicious recipes as well as information concerning mental health. In addition the students will be holding a “paint nite.” Work-ing on the two projects simul-taneously will allow the stu-dents to witness first-hand the differences between creating a product and providing a ser-
vice. Lisa Allen noted “Last year we worked with Howard Crerar, an executive member from the GBA. The skills he taught the students were used
not only while they worked on the project, but a number of them began implementing the techniques they learned during the mentoring sessions
in their day-to-day studies”. Mr. Crerar, past-president and currently treasurer of the GBA stated “The Greely Busi-ness Association works with

Mrs. Allen’s Grade 5/6 class is excited about their two projects and how they can help others.
its members to promote local businesses within the community and also believes it is important to make a contribution to the village at large.
The students are eager to learn more about busi-ness once they have a ba-sic understanding of how it operates and realize how much business im-pacts their lives on a daily basis.”
Mrs. Allen invites ev-eryone in the community
to participate by sending your favourite recipe(s) to [email protected]. In addition, tickets for Paint nite can be purchased online at http://paintnite.com/pages/events/view/ottawa/1043230.
The cost is $45 per ticket. More information concerning the projects will be appearing shortly through a variety of me-dia so stay tuned.
The Jansen brothers of Ottawa, Cole and Reece, ad-opted their dog Bobby from Big Sky Ranch in Kemptville following a goal by Ottawa Senators player Bobby Ryan on Jan. 24 against the New York Rangers.
According to the Ottawa Sun, the two boys spent years trying to convince their par-ents to get a dog. Their dad, Warren Jansen, finally gave in and said if Ryan scored a goal that fateful Sunday, they could have a dog.
The boys went to the game, bringing with them a sign that read ‘Bobby, Dad said if you score, we get a puppy!”
As fate would have it, Ryan did score, and the pup-py turned out to be a rescue dog formerly known as Jeb from Big Sky Ranch.
The sTory of BoBBy
Bobby is a three-year-old husky mix and how he came to be at Big Sky Ranch is a story unto itself.
Bobby is from The Ani-mal Shelter in Anniston, Alabama.
He is one of The Big Six – five dogs from Alabama and one from Atlantic City who were sent to BSR in the hopes of finding a home.
The rehoming of The Big Six – Zuko, Spencer, Pebbles, Jeb, Jumbo and Molly – was a joint effort between BSR and Susie’s Senior Dogs, a non-profit organization in New York committed to finding homes for dogs.
“These dogs were kept in kennels for years,” explained Andy Parent, BSR Founder. “Susie’s Senior Dogs con-tacted us and asked if we’d be able to help find them homes.” He explained in the southern United States, most people prefer pure bred dogs and mutts are rarely adopt-ed.
Susie’s Senior Dogs orga-nized and paid for the vet-erinary needs and transpor-
tation of The Big Six. Big Sky Ranch’s role was to find them all homes. Which they did - within days. The dogs arrived at BSR on Jan. 30.
All six of the dogs are now spoken for. The last remain-ing member of The Big Six at BSR - a seven-year-old female retriever mix named Pebbles - has been the sub-ject of calls from Montreal, Whitby and Boston. She is expected to be homed by the weekend of Feb. 6 and 7.
“These are animals who spent most of their lives in shelters and now they have homes and owners that love them,” said Parent. “Zuko had been in a shelter since 2008 and Molly’s been in the shelter for six years.”
Following the arrival of the dogs at BSR, the orga-nization’s Facebook page immediately began receiving comments about The Big Six, commending Canada for their efforts to save lives.
Many people from the United States wrote com-ments such as ‘Canada Rocks,’ ‘You Canadians are just something else!’ and ‘Way to go Canada.’
“The big thing was to find them homes and we did – in four days,” said Parent. “The girls from the shelter in An-niston were crying; they couldn’t believe we found them all homes so quickly.”
The cross border effort to
rehome dogs was a resound-ing success.
“This place is right in North Grenville’s backyard and it’s amazing how we’ve touched people’s lives every-where.”
The Big Six have inspired Parent to partner with Su-sie’s Senior Dogs again and likely take five dogs from Mi-ami in the near future.
“People might say we have enough dogs here that need homes, but we find all our dogs home, so why not help out organizations that are struggling to do so,” he said.
Upcoming fUndraiser for Bsr
A fundraising dance for Big Sky Ranch, featuring en-tertainment from Ambush, is being held at Matilda Hall in Dixon’s Corners on Feb. 13. Tickets are available at the door and cost $15. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. All pro-ceeds go towards helping to feed, shelter and care for the animals at BSR. For more information about BSR or to donate, visit www.bigsky-ranch.ca, the BSR Facebook page or call (613)-258-7118.
“Winter is a hard time for us,” said Parent. “We don’t have as many visitors and I know times are hard, but the animals still need to be fed. These aren’t my animals ei-ther, but they still need help.”

One teenage boy was treated for minor hypother-mia after he fell through the ice and into the frigid waters of the Rideau River just north of Vimy Memorial Bridge.
Emergency services were called to the scene on Feb. 2 around 4:21 p.m., after a witness on the Barrhaven side of the river said he saw two teens fall into the water up to their shoulders.
They managed to get out on their own, said Bruce Raymond, assistant deputy � re chief.
The two teenagers, ac-companied by another teen, had reportedly been walk-ing on the ice when they fell, closer to the eastern shore-line.
The water rescue team from the Riverside South � re station arrived on scene by 4:30 p.m. and spotted the trio on the ice as they made their way from the shoreline to the bridge following their fall.
“Two were wet up to the shoulders,” Raymond said.
The witness and his wife had met up with the trio and were trying to convince them not to return for their backpacks, which were still in the middle of the river.
The bags were eventually recovered by the water res-cue team.
The decision was made to take the teens to nearby Station 44, a � rehall in Bar-rhaven, where they were as-sessed and treated by para-medics.
Fire crews from that sta-tion, and others, had been called to the scene in the event responders needed help locating the youths and to serve as backup at the scene, said Raymond.
Only one of the wet teens required medical attention, said Ottawa paramedic spokesman J.P. Trottier, adding that none required hospitalization.
“We did a full assess-ment on this young man and nothing bad was found other than he was shivering deeply,” Trottier said.
The veteran paramedic said the incident serves as a good reminder why it’s im-portant to stay off the ice,
no matter how cold the win-ter weather has been.
“At any time of the year you never know how thick the ice is,” he said.
“So backyard ponds, riv-ers, lakes, whatever the case may be, the best thing to do is just stay away.
“And that goes for the pets as well. Keep them on the leash.Raymond echoed that warning.
“We did have a record warm December which cre-ated late-forming ice, and people just assume that ev-ery year in January the ice
is going to be thick enough to walk on,” Raymond said. “And this year was a bit dif-ferent.” The � re department gets about 10 calls each win-ter reporting people falling through ice.
It’s still too early to tell at this point whether the de-partment can expect to see an increase in such reports due to the � uctuating tem-peratures so far this winter.
“The message we’re try-ing to get out is it’s never safe to go out on the ice with the anomaly of the weather trend this year – that it’s even more dangerous to go on,” Raymond said.
“And even if it might look safe, because there’s snow on top it may not have been thick enough to support your weight.”
And once a person falls in, there is also the current to worry about in addition to freezing water tempera-
tures.He considers the teens
fortunate that they didn’t suffer more severe health issues, since it doesn’t take long for hypothermia to set in.
“You’re muscles tie up and it does affect your abil-ity to self-rescue,” he said.
“I think you’re always putting yourself at risk at any time you’re immersed in cold water. “It’s not a chance that anybody should be taking.”

A developer in north Kanata wants to develop land; no surprise there.
What’s surprising is the process, because it turns out the developer
– KNL Developments Inc. – can destroy the habitat of protected species, and even kill any of that species present, as long as the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is satis� ed that KNL will somehow provide a � -nal outcome that bene� ts the protected species.
That could mean other land is set aside for the rare Blanding’s turtles, and that butternut tree seeds are collected and spread elsewhere.
If approved, KNL will bulldoze the land, cut down trees and blast into the bedrock for new pipes and wires.
It’s hard to see how running over protected turtles with bulldozers or chopping down rare trees could end up bene� ting said � at turtles and dead trees, but that’s how the system works. Those are the laws our elected representatives at Queen’s Park have enacted on our behalf.
We are told we should be satis� ed. The public has a chance to provide com-
ments, but bizarrely does not get to know what
KNL will do in return for killing protected spe-cies.
The developer need only provide ideas of what it might do.
In a sick version of Let’s Make a Deal, the contestants (the public) can ask to keep what they have (rare turtles, trees etc.) or choose Door Number 1, all without any certainty of what they’re trading for.
On the game show someone wins a car or gets a gag gift. What Natural Resources and Forestry offers is the status quo or possibly dead stuff and some kind of mitigation else-where.
No sane person could favour the latter op-tion. And no one at all could make an informed decision without all the facts.
The public is being asked to comment, but those comments are clearly not valued, not even worth the paper they’re printed on.
The process is � awed. The system doesn’t work. It’s up to our elected representatives to � x it
or we can all play Let’s Make a Change when the next election is called.
Environment laws blatantly rigged
There are fresh develop-ments in the ongoing saga of the Memorial to the Victims of Communism.
The new government, having de-termined that the memorial should be different from that originally imagined and on a different site, has now asked Canadians for their thoughts on the matter. This takes the form of a brief questionnaire on the Department of Canadian Heritage website.
The government should know by now that nothing good can come of asking the people what they think, at least not on the In-ternet. It has only to think of John Scott, or Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf.
We all know about Scott, the in-tended victim of online pranksters who wanted to make a mockery of
the National Hockey League’s all-star ballot, which allowed people to vote online as many times as they wanted. Scott, a journeyman enforcer who spent most of his time on the bench, was selected, after some Internet goading, as an all-star by the fans, causing consid-erable embarrassment and some questionable maneuvers by league of� cials. Only his good nature and the generous support of his team-mates prevented an unhappy end-ing for him.
An unhappy ending for the
NHL bureaucracy was not averted.The practice of using the Inter-
net to mock and bully goes way back. Its � rst notable appearance was in 1998, when the web was new and people were discovering cre-ative and not-so-constructive ways of using it. That was when People magazine decided to put its 50 Most Beautiful People poll online.
It was not a smart decision, al-though few realized it until it was too late. The winner by a landslide of People magazine’s Most Beau-tiful People award was Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf, a char-acter on Howard Stern’s contro-versial television program and the subject of a mischievous write-in campaign.
A professional wrestler � nished second. Leonardo DiCaprio was third.Pranksters are out there and the Internet is a powerful weapon for them. Does Canadian Heritage know this? Canadian Heritage’s questionnaire is quite simple, ad-
mirably short and asks some good questions. Responders are asked to choose among a list of objectives. They are asked what they think the “visitor experience” should be. They are asked about the scale of the memorial. And they are given an open-ended opportunity to en-ter any other thoughts they might have about the design.
Here is where disaster lurks. Here’s where the goofy ideas come in, the politically motivated and the just plain silly. Get ready for it.
And in a way it would serve the government right. The memorial, whatever form it takes, will be art and you don’t create art by public opinion survey.
Picasso didn’t survey his audi-ence before putting paint to canvas. Michelangelo didn’t ask anybody what David should look like. The Group of Seven didn’t ask the pub-lic whether they should be Seven or perhaps Eight.
It is easy to see the government’s
motivation and, in a way, applaud it. Had the Harper government asked people what they thought before going ahead with the monu-ment plan, there never would have been a monument plan.
This will be small consolation for the present government, how-ever, when it � nds itself facing an urgent popular demand for a me-morial to the victims of John Scott.

The apple has been a source of inspiration for the human race for hundreds, even thousands of years.
Sir Isaac Newton is pur-ported to have gleaned the effect of gravity from the falling fruit in the mid-1600s.
Then there is, of course, original sin, and, more re-cently, Apple computers.
At a University of Ottawa science lab, artists and scien-tists have come up with a new innovation using the fruit.
By removing the cells from a slice of apple but leaving the cellulose “scaffolding,” achieved using a very simple technique, lab researchers were able to then implant human cells and grow them inside the framework of the
apple.“We just tried it, and the
amazing thing was it worked right out of the gate,” said Andrew Pelling, the associ-ate professor who runs the Pelling Laboratory for Physi-cal Manipulation.
The technique behind the whole thing is actually rather simple, he said. So much so that Pelling didn’t patent the technique.
Instead he released the information on how to do it so that not just scientists, but anyone interested in doing it themselves could try.
He envisions the do-it-yourself culture taking hold of the technique and chang-ing the way people work with their own bodies in the fu-ture.
“Instead of somebody hacking together some proj-
ect in a garage that’s elec-tronic and then releasing it on the Internet, you can hack together in your garage a new organ for yourself and release the plans for that on-line,” he said of his vision.
FROM MEAT TO APPLE
Pelling and his students ended up developing their technique using an apple quite by accident. In fact, they had been trying to do the same thing with dis-carded meat, getting rid of cells in the meat and growing another animal’s cells in the leftover structure.
“We were collaborating with butchers and using rot-ten meat and stuff that you would throw out; it’s gar-bage,” said Pelling.
“You pull all the cells out
of that tissue and flesh, and what you are left with is a protein scaffold just like the studs in a house.”
“Because we were realizing we could actually do some combinations of a mouse heart and put dog cells into it or whatever, (we thought) ‘Why can’t we use plants?’” an even cheaper material.
So the lab began experi-menting with leaves, but it turned out they were too waxy for the decellulariza-tion process. That’s because the process for getting rid of the existing cells is to stir the material in soap and water, albeit for an extended period of time.
“Yeah, soap and water. Crazy, crazy stuff,” Pelling said with a laugh.
Ottawa laboratory grows human apple slice
AdAM KveTON/MeTrOLANd
University of Ottawa associate professor Andrew Pelling, founder of the Pelling Laboratory for Physical Manipula-tion, holds up a $1,000 piece of bio-material in his right hand, and an apple slice containing human cells in the other. He and his researchers are working to prove that pieces of decellularized apple can be used just as well as bio-ma-terial to help human bodies repair themselves, and for much less money.

. IN THE MATTER OFTHE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT
Notice of Intention to DesignateThe City of Ottawa on February 10, 2016 established its intention to designate the Flewellyn JonesHouse, 5897 Fernbank Road under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritagevalue.Description of PropertyThe Flewellyn/Jones House, 5897 Fernbank Road, is a one-and-one-half storey stone farmhouselocated in the west end of Ottawa in former Goulbourn Township.Statement of Cultural Value or InterestThe Flewellyn/Jones House has cultural heritage value for its contextual value as an importantreminder of the historic agricultural character of Goulbourn Township, design value as a 19thcentury farmhouse and historical value for its association with the Flewellyn family and the earlysettlement of Goulbourn Township.The Flewellyn/Jones House has design value as a good example of a Gothic Revival farmhousebuilt in the late 19th century to replace the earlier log house built when the land was first settled.Typical of this style, it features decorative bargeboard trim, a steeply pitched gable roof, segmentalarched windows and a veranda with wooden trim. The Flewellyn/Jones House is one of severalhouses in this area constructed with a similar plan. It features the same decorative bargeboard andlayout as the Boyd House at 173 Huntmar Drive which was constructed one year later and mayhave been built by the same stone mason.The Flewellyn/Jones House has historical value for its association with the Flewellyn family, aprominent family in early Goulbourn Township who owned the house from the time of constructionuntil the 1950s. The Flewellyn family came immigrated to Canada from Ireland in 1863 and thisproperty is associated with the settlement and farming of this area by Irish and Scottish immigrantsin the mid-19th century.OBJECTIONSAny person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for theobjection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the Cityof Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of thisnotice.

Audrey’s future in school comes into questionEven though the
Findlay Oval was pounding out fero-cious heat, I felt
a coldness in the kitchen, which had nothing to do with the fast-burning wood diminishing in the stove, or the drafts coming from the frost covered windows.
I sensed it as soon as I sat down at the supper table. It looked like my beloved sister Audrey had been crying. And Father’s Grace was shorter than usual. Everyone was quiet.
Even my rambunctious brothers, who usually jabbed elbows when they took their place behind the supper table on the long bench under the grape-arbour window, sat like stones.
What was happening? Why was everyone so quiet? Mother broke the long silence.
“It may not be for long,”
she said, looking at Au-drey. “Once we get straight-ened away, you could quit.”
Quit what? I knew I was too young to be caught up in serious talk, but wasn’t I old enough to know what was obviously happening to my sister to cause tears, and turn the kitchen into a room of such coldness?
Sitting beside Audrey, I reached over and took her hand without saying a word, and looked up at her.
“I may have to go into Renfrew to work.” Now the tears started to run down her cheeks like little riv-ers. “But you can’t. You are
still in school!” I said.It was Father who
brought the whole issue to a head. And as I listened I knew it wasn’t only for my benefit. He was trying to make sense of what was happening.
There just was no mon-ey. It was as simple as that. It was the dead of winter, and there were no vegetables to sell, the egg-laying had slowed down; just enough for our own table. Mother’s blue jug was empty.
It had been a bad few months, Father said. There were bills to pay: Briscoe’s General Store, Scott’s Hard-
ware, and a small bill owing at Ritza’s Drug Store.
Father went on. I knew it wasn’t for my benefit, but just to repeat what everyone else already knew: we need-ed money to get through the rest of the winter.
Father and Everett were getting a few Saturday’s work at Helferty’s bush, but that only paid a dollar a day. Emerson and Earl were left to do the chores.
Going into Renfrew every Saturday with homemade soap, sticky buns and a few eggs did little to fill the blue jug.
Not only for my benefit, I knew, but to once more try to justify what was happen-ing, Mother tried to explain.
The woman who ran the beauty parlour would take Audrey on to do house-work, and help look after her growing family.
She would live with them, work seven days a week,
and earn a few dollars which she would hand over to Mother and Father, and perhaps, Mother said, she may be able to keep a dollar for herself occasionally. Now, I was crying too.
“But what about school?” I asked. “Audrey is in the Entrance Class. How can you ask her to quit school when she only has a few more months to go?”
No one had an answer. And there wasn’t much supper being eaten either. I looked at the half-filled plates, and knew most of what was left would be go-ing into the big granite soup pot on the back of the stove.
After the kitchen had been redded up, and the red-checked oilcloth wiped clean, no one made a move to enjoy the usual night-time activities around the table.
Father moved to the rocking chair by the stove,
but the Ottawa Farm Journal lay across his knees unopened. Even Mother made no effort to bring her beloved diaries down from the cupboard.
The only sound came from Emerson playing with a deck of cards, snapping one down after another onto the table, gathering them up, and starting all over again.
Father got up and began getting the Findlay Oval ready for the night. Using the iron poker, he jabbed away at the fire bed, laying down a big log from the wood box inside, and mov-ing the rocking chair away from the heat, something he did every night before we went to our beds.
Long before our usual time, we headed upstairs, Audrey leading the way with the coal oil lamp.

opinion Connected to your community
The moon shone bright on the eve of calving seasonYour cows are not
speaking to each other, the Farmer commented as he
sat down to dinner. “Huh? How do you
know? What happened?”“They are separated.
Scattered around the field. Each in their own corner. And some have wandered into the next field. They aren’t getting along and they don’t want to be together. I think someone’s about to calve.”
Masters of deception, our cows, we are rarely convinced they are pregnant until suddenly there is a calf standing beside them. It isn’t until the last day or two of gestation that their usual round girth gets ac-cessorized with a swollen udder.
This scattering to all corners of the field has me worried.
It has been a full moon
lately, lighting the snow-covered fields at night but what if one of them goes into labour in the pitch dark and we can’t find the calf to help bring it to warm and dry shelter?
With temperatures above zero in the daytime we don’t have to be too concerned about the little ones freez-ing to death this year but it still isn’t a very good start, to be born on the cold, wet ground instead of in a warm, dry stall on the hay.
This is how my brain rambles, starting up the worry engine.
It was eight degrees above
zero today, and I decided my Christmas decorations looked sorely out of place. As I cut the wires on the lights and ornaments, free-ing them from the shrubs and the porch banister, the chickadees dive-bombed my head.
They have decided they like the shrub with the lights on it as it is warm. I feel bad taking the lights off, but they’ve got to go. Christmas is over and it feels like spring.
I fill the bird feeder and feel the brush of wings around my head as the tiny birds light on the window
ledge beside me. I cover my palm with black-oiled sun-flower seeds and hold my hand outstretched. Standing perfectly still, I wait.
A blue jay lands on the overhead wires and mocks me.
“Hey lady. Whatcha doin’ with the seeds?” The big blue bully has scared away the more tame chickadees for the time being. I watch as he hops around the mouth of the abandoned doghouse, looking for kibble. It used to be his favourite snack, and Cody let him steal all the time. He won’t be so lucky if he tries that with Chelsea.
I have a tiny new punc-ture wound on the back of my hand and a bruise on my knuckle. I got it while trying to spend quality time with our senior-citizen Border Collie. I have a hard time thinking of her as old because she has so much
energy, but she is at least ten. She has always been particularly snappy, so we have kept her at the barn.
I am trying to get her more accustomed to me so perhaps she will learn she doesn’t need to bite. The Farmer says I should just let her be. But I’m stubborn.
I unhooked her chain and led her from the barn to the house, so she could trot along at my side as I did work in the yard.
She is quite happy to be fed and patted briefly on the head but if you tarry a little too long in her close proximity, you’re going to get bitten.
Today I decided to take her chain off her collar, as it kept getting stuck in the porch boards. I knew I was going to get a bite long before her razor sharp teeth sunk into my hand. It took about an hour to get my land legs back after
the adrenalin rush. Off her chain, she happily ran along beside me, wagging her tail and smiling.
She took a snack that I placed before her, and accepted a pat on her head. She is quite pleasant if you play by her rules. I let the Farmer put her back on her chain at the end of our afternoon together.
I wonder what goes through that pointed little head of hers. She might be afraid of me, but I know she is extremely smart so I’m hoping we will get past that.
I’ve tried before, many times, and I have the scars to prove it.

Week In ReviewThe Metcalfe Community Association (MCA)held its’ very first Town Hall in Metcalfe at theold Town Hall on Victoria street on Tuesday.
The meeting was a resounding success witha packed room full of residents eager to meettheir new board members and hear what theyhad to say.
Also on hand was City staff from vari-ous areas to answer questions on issuesthat concerned them in the village such asspeeding and road conditions. The actingboard president, Natalie Elliott gave a quickoverview of what they had accomplished todate and enlightened residents on what theywere hoping to do over the next few months.She emphasized that the board can onlydo so much with regards to manpower andencouraged people to get involved to lend ahelping hand. Another board member, MarcSauve also stressed how getting involvednow, makes for a better community in thenear future for not only them, but also theirchildren. Volunteers are a vital part of anystrong organization. Please get involvedand give whatever time you are able to helpthis association grow. Time commitmentdoes not have to be everyday or every week,sometimes it means simply helping out ortaking on small projects. Visit their websitefor contact information.
It was a sincere pleasure of mine to beinvited and speak to a group of young Scoutsthis week. Nick Hewko of Greely reachedout to my office and made the request to doa presentation to his Scout group regardingwhat it is like to be in politics and the processof getting there. They were inquisitive aboutthe life of a Councillor and what it entails ona day to day basis with regards to office staff,Ward information and how we all interactwith Provincial and Federal levels politicians.Maybe we will see some of these Scouts beour future local politicians now that they knowmore about elections and how municipalpolitics are extremely important in our day today life.
There were plenty of camera flashes and smiles as athletes from almost every sport in the city ac-cepted awards on Jan. 27 at Algon-quin College at the annual Ottawa Sports Awards.
The top performer in each sport, ranging from athletics to wrestling to figure skating, were presented with a plaque at the banquet.
Not every athlete was present, as some – such as the female athlete of the year winner Melissa Bish-op– are away, training or compet-ing.
The runner won a silver medal in the 800-metre event at the 2015 world championships.
“If you’re a runner or anybody in sport or chasing after dreams in general, I’d like to say continue on. Enjoy the ride,” said Bishop in a press release. “It’s not going to happen overnight. It took me al-most 15 years to get here, so enjoy the ride. The ups and downs will come, but I promise all the hard work is totally worth it.”
The male athlete of the year also had a 2015 with a silver lining. De-spite currently being injured, Ne-pean High School graduate Dustin Cook won a silver medal at the World Alpine Ski Championship last year.
Normally, the Mont-Ste-Marie, Que. athlete would be away and training as well at this time of year, but he’s currently rehabilitating a knee injury. He gave his recovery one-and-a-half thumbs up when asked by presenters how it was go-ing.
He also had a ski trail named in his honour at his home mountain in Quebec.
The teams of the year were both highly successful, and repeat win-ners of the award. The Rachel Homan curling rink won the wom-en’s team of the year honours, and the Carleton Ravens basketball team won the men’s team of the year award.
Ottawa Lions coach Glenroy Gilbert won male coach of the year, and University of Ottawa women’s rugby coach Jen Boyd won the female coach of the year award.
Every year, a set of special ma-jor awards are presented to those who have made a significant con-tribution to sport in Ottawa, often off the field.

Gordon and Kathleen Stringer received a special award, the Spirit of Sport Award, which was presented for the first time at the ban-quet.
The Stringers’ daughter, Rowan, died when she was 17 years old after she sustained a concussion playing rugby. Her family has pushed to have Rowan’s Law introduced – to reduce the risk of multiple concussions amongst young athltes – following a coroner’s inquest into their daughters’ death.
“Our journey’s been an in-teresting one,” Gordon said. “We have heard many things along the way, most of it supportive. But we have had
instances where people kind of marvel at the idea that we remain so supportive of sport. Tonight is a very good reflec-tion of why there’s so much good in sport. Both of our daughters gained so much from their participation in sport. So it’s very easy for us to remain sports supporters and advocate for what we think is the betterment of sport.”
MAJOR AWARDS
Nominees received major awards for contributions to sport and coaching. They are:
• Agnes Laing, who won the Mayor’s Cup for outstand-ing contribution to sport in Ottawa. Laing founded the Nepean-Corona School of Gymnastics in 1972. Her
daughter accepted the award on her behalf.
• Tobie Gorman won the Brian Kilrea Lifetime Achievement Award in Coaching award. The recently retired Ottawa Gymnastics Centre coach served as the gym’s women’s program di-rector and head coach for 25 years.
• Sheilagh McCaskill won the Lifetime Achievement Award for sports volunteer or administrator for her 38 years with the Gloucester Skating Club.
• Karen Butcher won the Lifetime Achievement Award for technical officials. Butcher has been a figure skating of-ficial for 39 years, and judged at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games.

Ottawa group looks to link refugees with landlordsAlex [email protected]
A new Ottawa group has launched a website – roof-s4refugees.ca – to connect Syrian refugees with poten-tial landlords.
Roofs For Refugees has been formed to help alleviate a bottleneck of government-sponsored refugees who need affordable housing.
The Catholic Centre for Immigrants and Refugee 613 are working in partner-ship on the initiative, which is an affiliate of international organization Refugees Wel-come.
“We’re saying to Ottawa, ‘That house that’s been sit-ting empty since your tenant or your uncle moved out? Tell us about it,’” said Carl
Nicholson, executive direc-tor of the Catholic Centre for Immigrants.
“We have families who would love to call those plac-es home.”
Ottawa resettlement groups recently had to ask the federal government to temporarily pause the flow of refugees coming in as they were struggling to find them permanent accommodation.
Finding affordable hous-ing has been a challenge for agencies as most available rental units are small and the average family size tends to be more than five people.
Every day these families spend in reception centres and hotels is another day they will not be officially set-tled, the Catholic Centre for Immigrants said. The agency
will not be able to help them find services such as schools until they are settled in one place.
Landlords can use the new website to upload details of vacant units they have.
Roofs For Refugees, which will be completely volunteer-run, will then screen the sub-mitted options and try to match them with families.
The organization is also looking to expand and open chapters in other Canadian cities.
“We are excited to launch Roofs for Refugees in Ot-tawa,” says Olivia Tran, one of the founders of the Ot-tawa chapter of the online housing referral service. “It is a simple, streamlined way to address one of the priority is-sues for refugee settlement.”

A Syrian infant rests on his father’s shoulder at the Masji Jami Omar mosque in Bells Corners on Jan. 16. Roofs for Refugees is looking to bridge the gap between recently arrived refugees and housing providers.

DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS / AMENDMENTSUNDER THE PLANNING ACT
NOTICE OF PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING
Tuesday, February 23, 2016 – 9:30 a.m.
Though the technique wouldn’t work on a leaf, it turns out it works just fine on an apple – a fact that one of Pelling’s students, Daniel Modulevsky, stumbled upon after seeing another student eating an apple.
“So we tried it, because that’s what we do here. We just tried it,” said Pelling.
Reducing an apple slice to a cellulose scaffold, the Pel-ling lab members were able to place and grow human cells.
The discovery is at least partially a result of the lab’s philosophy of “unapologetic curiosity,” said Pelling.
Feeling too closed in by the vast majority of scientific grants that require a lab to solve a particular problem or invent a specific technology, Pelling secured discovery grant funding to start his own lab “founded on the principle of curiosity,” he said.
“I wanted to create a space where people could just ask questions and just collect the most creative and appropri-ate people around us to an-swer those questions,” said Pelling.
Those “appropriate peo-ple” include bio-artists – peo-ple who manipulate biology as an art form – who have at times been at the forefront of innovation, with science struggling to keep up, said Pelling.
In 2013, the “world’s first lab-grown burger” was eaten at an event in London, Eng-land – the result of years of scientific work.
An artistic laboratory called SymbioticA from the University of Western Aus-tralia did much the same thing – growing a slab of meat using pre-natal sheep cells.
But they did it years ear-lier – in 2000. “These artists did basically the same thing, cooked it in a gallery and ate it, but because it was art I don’t think it was really well appreciated in the scientific world,” said Pelling. “But then a group of scientists a decade later, a decade which is forever, do the same thing and that’s what gets all the attention.
“Just imagine if the sci-entific community was a bit more plugged in a decade before, where they could be now. That’s the danger and I think short-sightedness of discounting all that art in your field or artists as if they couldn’t contribute. That’s just not true.”
In addition to including artists, the lab is also trying to do things differently by manipulating biology with-out the use of drugs, stem cells or genome manipula-tion. That sort of thing is too obvious, he said.
Instead, Pelling prefers physical biohacking.
“I love pulling apart elec-tronics and building stupid and useless but fun and whimsical things, and it was in doing that that I kind of thought, ‘Well maybe we can do this with biology,’” he said.
While Pelling’s lab has yielded some fun and whim-sical but not particularly useful things through this method, its human apple ex-periment has some very per-tinent uses, he said.
HEALTH-CARE COSTS
In an interview with Met-roland Media, Pelling held up a small plastic container holding a thin piece of white material about the size of a toonie.
The material is used for helping people’s bodies repair themselves. By im-planting the bio-material in a wound, human cells can invade it and grow more eas-ily by using the material’s structure.
“This has a street value of like $1,000 US,” said Pelling. “That’s to me, the research-er, not to the patient and to the health-care system and doctors.”
“If you really think about what this is and how it’s made, the profit here is not insignificant,” said Pelling.
But animal testing shows that his lab’s apple slices should be able to do the same job and for much cheaper, he said.
“The amazing thing was it worked right out of the gate,” said Pelling.
“We had to optimize a lot, but in the end, we can make this much material, the size of an apple, for less than a penny.”
The lab went on to do animal trials, implanting the cellulose scaffolding, and found that mammalian bod-ies don’t reject the material, but use it to grow mamma-lian tissue.
“It’s not 100-per-cent per-fect,” said Pelling. “We need to do a bit more work to op-timize, but for a first shot, holy crap!”
Now the lab is collaborat-ing with clinicians and oth-ers to test out tangible uses for the new material, such as repairing bone or spinal chords.

Pet Adoptions
Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animalsavailable for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more aboutadopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:Website:www.ottawahumane.caEmail:[email protected]: (613) 725-3166 x258
This month, make the most important decision you can makefor your pet’s life. It’s a simple fix.Spaying or neutering your pet may not seem like a big priority,
but putting it off, or deciding against it, can lead to biggerproblems than you’re bargaining on — for you, your pet, andyour community. How great are the rewards?Well, let us tell you...1. Your pet’s health will benefit. Spaying helps prevent
uterine infections and breast cancer, which is fatal in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 per cent of cats. Spaying your pet before herfirst heat offers the best protection from these diseases. Neuteringyour male companion prevents testicular cancer, if done before sixmonths of age.2. Your pet’s behaviour — and your sleep — will benefit!
Unspayed felines can go into heat every three weeks duringbreeding season, yowling at all times of day and night as theyseek out mates. Intact males tend to roam widely, escaping fromhouses and yards and risking injury in traffic and fights with other
males. They mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urineall over the house. Many aggression problems can be avoided byearly neutering. Neutered animals, on the other hand, tend tofocus more attention on their human families.3. Your pocketbook will thank you. Spay/neuter is a one-
time cost. It’s a lot less than vet bills to treat your unaltered catafter it gets into a fight with a neighbouring tom, or the ongoingcleaning bills to rid the house of urine-marking odours.4. Your community will thank you. Every year across our
country, hundreds of thousands of cats and dogs of all ages andbreeds are abandoned. Too many suffer as strays; too many areeuthanized.These high numbers are the result of unplanned littersthat could have been prevented by spaying or neutering. Even justone litter, and even if you can find them homes...those are homesthat could have been taken by homeless animals in need.This month, help us spread the word. Spaying and neutering is
not just a good idea, it’s a life-saving choice.

Hard decisions to makeThe bed was icy cold and that night
Audrey took out the bedroll that separated us, tossing it on the floor, and put her arm around me.
I was sure she was pretending to be asleep, but I lay awake staring at the black ceiling, wondering what was happening to our family. My pillow was wet from silent tears, and I thought of the nights ahead when I would be alone in the big bed. There would be no one to sing me to sleep, or to stop the brothers from fighting in the next room.
And what about Audrey? She had never been away from home before. Where would
she sleep?My silent prayers that night were long
and meaningful, and I made a deal with God. If he would find a way to keep my beloved sister at home, at least until she finished at the Northcote School, I would be the best behaved girl in all of Renfrew County. Would
He hear my prayers? Would my prayers alone save my sister Audrey from leaving home?

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, if you assumed you were right on track, you soon will see why it isn’t safe to assume.

However, an ounce of skepticism never hurt anyone.CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, it is better to make your choices sooner rather than later this week. Putting decisions off only complicates matters. It may be an anxious time, but you will pull through.LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23Stop worrying about how others see you, Leo. This week own up to your beliefs, even if they seem to go against the norm. You may be surprised at the support you receive.VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, a hectic week leads to lots of demands on your time. Take things one task at a time and do not be afraid to say “no” if you feel you are overwhelmed.

Keep your eyes and ears open to all of the possibilities around you.AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Try not to take the easy way out, Aquarius. When faced with some tough questions, stay strong and true to yourself. You will be happier in the long run if you do so.PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, take some time off if your job seems like a headache this week. If you have the time, enjoy a long weekend or a short jaunt during the week.
