Rideau Carleton Raceway staff picket through winter weather mdelaire@metroland.com

Picketing Rideau Carleton Raceway Slots workers have weathered snow, rain, wind, and frostbite warnings daily since being locked out by the casino on Dec. 15. With the labour dispute that led to the lock-out in a stalemate, the group’s union says there is no end to the lock-out in sight. The 124 gaming floor

workers have been without work since mid-December when their union, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), and OLG were not able to agree on the terms of a new collective agreement for them. Employees at the Ottawa casino have been without a contract since 2014, and say they have not received a wage raise since 2008, earning less than workers at other OLG facilities.

Workers firm, despite season taking its toll

When the locked out workers were presented with OLG’s most recent offer on Dec. 16 – which would include a further two-year wage freeze and would change the legal language of their pension plans – 96 per cent voted against it, opting instead for the picket line. “We’ve had our members picketing every day, even Christmas day,” said Alroy Fonseca, regional spokesman for PSAC. “It’s been hard for them. It means also not as much money to spend on gifts and food and all those things you buy during winter holidays.” Picketing outside of the casino each day has also taken a physical toll on the workers. Fonseca confirmed that six picketers have been struck by vehicles driving down Albion Road and enMegan DeLaire/Metroland tering the casino.

Pension issues still a challenge Continued from the front

While most of those incidents have been minor, with workers clipped by side view mirrors of cars, one worker was sent to hospital after being struck by a car on Dec. 30. Andy Caicco is one of the employees locked out by the casino for the past month. He said workers didn’t expect to be locked out before Christmas, and that when the lockout began, he did not believe they would still be locked out in the new year. “We really thought we’d get back before the holidays. It’s a casino; they need us, we need them,” Caicco said, explaining that Dec. 31, being a historically busy day for the gambling facility, served as a test of whether the casino could operate without the locked out workers or not. “But now that it’s past New Year’s Eve, I think this is going to be the long haul now. Because they really needed us New Year’s Eve and they haven’t budged and we haven’t budged.”

New year, new action

Because New Year’s Eve was considered by locked out RCR Slots employees such an important chapter in their current conflict, the workers and PSAC organized a picketing blitz for that night. “We’ve found that New Year’s Eve is actually one of the most lucrative nights for the casino in terms of revenue,” Fonseca said. “So the idea was to deter people from coming in, for one. Number two: For those who did come in, make them wait for longer, to slow down their entry.” So rather than coming out in different shifts throughout the day, the 124 workers took the day off and came out in full force that evening. They slowed down motorists trying to enter the casino by engaging them in conversations and signatures on a petition headed for the provincial government. While some motorists attempting to enter the facility were irritated by the action,

Fonseca said it was an overall positive event. He said some people on their way to the casino were even deferred from going in that night. “I think it was an empowering action for the folks that are locked out,” he said. “Definitely they felt a lot of support from the community.” Taking it higher

With the casino having survived its busiest night of the year without the bulk of its floor staff, the group’s bargaining team feels that bringing their case before the provincial government is the necessary next step. “We’ve decided to shift the focus from OLG per se, which has been our focus so far, to the political level,” Fonseca said. “So we’re gonna be doing a lot more lobbying of MPPs in the region, because the OLG is a publicly owned corporation and the finance minister of Ontario is ultimately responsible for

A man in his midforties died after his car flew from a Highway 416 overpass and landed on its roof Jan. 6. The car ended up in the eastbound lanes of Highway 417, west of Moodie Drive. Reports say the man was 46-year-old Derek Gregan of Ottawa, a father of two. Ottawa paramedics received a call about the single-vehicle collision at 8:15 a.m. after Renfrew paramedics travelling in the eastbound lanes of Highway 417 discovered the black four-door sedan resting on the highway. Paramedics assessed the man – who was the only occupant of the vehicle – and declared him dead at the scene. Spokesperson J.P. Trot-

tier said that resuscitating the man was not an option. “The injuries were of a traumatic nature and there was absolutely nothing we could do,” Trottier said. Trottier said it was not immediately clear why the vehicle left the road. He said the road appeared to be clear of debris and that conditions at the time of the crash were good. “So it’s unknown to us why the vehicle left the road.” The Ontario Provincial Police are investigating the incident. No other collision or injuries were reported, but all eastbound lanes of Hwy. 417 east of Moodie Drive were closed. The eastbound Hwy. 417 lanes west of Moodie Drive remained heavily congested as of 10:15 a.m.

OLG.” On Dec. 31, the picketing workers collected several hundred signatures on their petition calling for the Ontario government to intervene and end the lockout equitably. In total, they have collected over 1,000 signatures from clients entering the RCR Slots. Workers have also been encouraged to reach out individually to their local MPPs. Fonseca said that the bargaining team holds regular meetings with the locked out employees to gauge their willingness to keep pushing for a better contract. As long as the workers are willing to remain locked out from their jobs and continue picketing, the bargaining team will continue to fight for a better contract. “There’s no end in sight. We were hoping initially that we could pressure OLG and have them change their minds but it’s looking like this is coming from the top,” Fonseca said. “The local manager at the Rideau Carleton Raceway is not going to change his mind on his own, so we need pressure from the top.”

City councillor reunited with his missing snowmobile Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Within the first 48 hours of 2016, Osgoode Ward Coun. George Darouze had lost his beloved snowmobile and found it again, harnessing the power of social media. On the evening of Jan. 1, Darouze and his wife Sue rode their Ski-Doo snowmobiles the short distance from their Greely home near Apple Orchard Road and Spartan Grove Street to the home of some family friends. They parked their sleds in the backyard of the home, only to discover 45 minutes later that Darouze’s beloved

Leb-Sled, as the Lebanese born councillor calls it, was missing. Darouze called the police, but wasn’t confident that they could track down his sled quickly enough, so at around 7:30 p.m. and feeling antsy, he turned to social media. He describes his SkiDoo sled as distinct and highly recognizable. It sports a bright orange custom paint job, a Leb-Sled decal on the windshield, and a unique headlight. “The whole thing is custom,” he said. “It is so identifiable. People know it’s my sled.” In fact, Darouze’s missing sled was the very snowmobile that Mayor Jim Watson fell from in the March 2015 accident that fractured his pelvis. “This snowmobile is sentimental to me,” he said. “The mayor fell off of it. This snowmo-

bile should go in a museum.” So he took to Facebook and Twitter, posting photos of the sled along with pleas to keep an eye out for it and spread the word of its disappearance. Darouze said that by the time the he returned home an hour later, the Facebook posts had taken off. According to Darouze, one of his posts on Facebook was seen by 38,858 people according to the website’s measurement of personal newsfeeds that the post appeared in, and his plea was shared over 1,300 times. Words of support and encouragement flooded in through Facebook, Twitter and email. Darouze said that by the time he went to bed that night, he knew he would be reunited with his snowmobile. “We’re going

to find the snowmobile tomorrow morning,” he told his wife before bed. The next day, Darouze received word that a Greely woman who had seen one the posts had spotted the snowmobile in a field while walking her dog.

This snowmobile is sentimental to me. The mayor fell off of it. This snowmobile should go in a museum. Osgoode Coun. George Darouze

What she thought at first was a snow blower, she soon realized was the snowmobile she had seen in the photo posted to Facebook. She called the friend who had shared the post, and Darouze was

reunited with his sled. The bottom of the snowmobile was coated with cornhusks from a joyride through a field, the GPS was gone and some objects had been stolen from a bag attached to the sled, but none of that mattered. “The thing is, I don’t care. Because I got it back,” he said. “I will never be able to replace that kind of sled. It’s so sentimental to me. I love that snowmobile. When you drive a snowmobile you connect with it.” Darouze said he does not know who took the sled or how they did it, though police are investigating. He suspects that whoever took it didn’t realize whose sled it was until his post was shared on social media. When the person realized they had stolen a city councillor’s sled, he guesses that they were scared

you.” Darouze said that after finding his snowmobile, he spent hours on his computer thanking people for their messages and kind words. Days later, he was still reeling from the reactions of so many people to his plea for help. “From the bottom of my heart, my wife and I we thank everybody that shared and retweeted and all the people that send us these beautiful messages,” he said.

and abandoned it. But he said that more than his title as local politician, it was the good nature of people and the power of social media that saved the day. “The amount of people that cared, and the amount that people felt it with me, I’m just so blessed and overwhelmed,” he said. “What a great community we have. It is insane, if you use social media the proper way, what it can do for

The city’s first baby of 2016 came at exactly midnight on Jan. 1 – more than two weeks before her expected arrival time – giving her parents a New Year’s Eve to remember. Ella Maggie Hebert was born at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, stealthily arriving a little more than three hours after her mother Amanda Hebert first went into labour. “This was the most exciting New Year’s we’ve had in a while,” Hebert said in a media statement. “She is a wonderful Christmas and New Year gift!” Hebert said her water broke on Dec. 31 during a quiet New Year’s Eve with her husband Shawn and their

two-year-old daughter Kaylee at their home in Munster. They arrived at the hospital at 9 p.m. “The doctors and nurses were fabulous and made the experience even more wonderful,” Hebert said. Despite coming early, the newborn weighed a healthy eight pounds and three ounces. Because she caught her parents off guard though, it wasn’t until several days after her birth that the Hebert family was able to choose a suitable name for her. “We knew we were having a girl but we really thought we had a couple of more weeks to make a decision,” Hebert said. After some deliberation, the Heberts chose a name for their New Year’s surprise befitting her personality –

A new bus-only lane has been installed on Industrial Avenue, west of Sandford Fleming, prompting the city to remind motorists that buses should be given priority, allowing them to merge safely. The right curbside lane on Industrial Avenue between Sandford Fleming Avenue and Riverside Drive is now just for buses, one of many dedicated bus lanes allow-

ing public-transit vehicles to reach Highway 417. “Bus traffic has increased in the area around the Canada Post mail processing plant with the recent closure of the Transitway bridge between Lees and Hurdman stations,” the city said in a recent statement. “That closure has diverted many buses onto dedicated bus lanes on Highway 417 over the Rideau River.” The city said that in order to get to the highway, buses

leave Hurdman station, head down Terminal Avenue, turn right onto Sanford Fleming, right onto Industrial and right again onto Riverside Drive. To avoid delays near Industrial Avenue and Riverside Drive, motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes such as Trainyards Drive and the recently reopened section of Belfast Road at Tremblay Road when accessing Highway 417 or the Vanier Parkway.

The cost of police-issued documents, from criminal record and background checks to collision reports, has increased as of Jan. 1. Fees for these and other administrative reports are rising following the Ottawa Police Service Board’s approval of fee increases in the department’s 2016 budget. “This decision was based on the fact that an increase in requests for records checks and other services had created a large gap between the cost of providing the services and the revenues generated,” police officials said in a recent statement. “These changes are consistent with fees charged by other municipal police services in Ontario.”

Cause of Mooney’s Bay house fire ruled accidental he spotted smoke inside his home. He called 911 just before 1:30 p.m. In the short term, the fire investigator was able to determine the fire began in the kitchen area, but it took time to determine what caused the smoke and flames – whether the source was an unattended pot on the stove or other combustible materials left on the counter near the stove. The investigator assigned to the case has since interviewed fire suppression crews that responded to the incident, as well as the occupant. Once the resident made the 911 call,

The cause of a fire that led to an estimated $150,000 in damages at a semi-detached home in the Riverside Park neighbourhood has been ruled accidental. “It was combustibles too close to a (stove-top) heating element left unattended,” assistant deputy fire chief Sean Tracey said of the source of the fire at 2755 Flannery Dr. on Dec. 30. The homeowner had been outside shovelling his driveway when

fire crews arrived within seven minutes, managing to contain the fire to the kitchen, Tracey said. It was declared under control at 1:56 p.m. However, there was extensive smoke throughout the property, making it uninhabitable, he said, adding the displaced homeowner was given assistance by the Salvation Army and the Canadian Red Cross.The attached next-door home was not damaged by the fire. Tracey said the occupants at that home were not home at the time. No one was injured in the incident.

First snowfall a mess

fter a slow start to winter, Ottawa got walloped on Dec. 29. It was a sizeable snowfall but no bigger than we’ve dealt with before. So why did it seem to cripple travel for so long? It got so bad, Ottawa police asked people to stay off the roads. It was not like it came out of the blue. Weather forecasts had been predicting the first snowstorm to hit Ottawa this year for a few days in advance and it was not exactly a situation in which snow removal crews were exhausted from overwork. There was ample warning, which makes it so perplexing that snow clearing operations were so lethargic and sluggish. The city had a lot of advance notice of the pending storm, so resources, in equipment and manpower, should have been ready for the cleanup. Pictures of buried bus stops and sidewalks were being tweeted for nearly a week before a response to councillors came from the city’s public works department.

The much-vaunted Where’s My Plow? app failed to recognize many residential addresses, but public works suggested there was a problem with “messaging.” The department’s report also tried to pick apart details. It doesn’t really matter whether the post-storm measurements of snow were completely accurate when results were so dismal. Illegal snow dumping – private contractors putting snow on sidewalks or city roads – can’t be a relatively new concept during a large storm. Could the city not have “reminded” contractors before the storm and/or fined them after the fact? The memo to council from public works reads like a note from mommy after a son or daughter had their homework eaten by the family pet. To add salt to the wound, the report offered no recommendations for future snow clearing response, instead offering a review of operations as a whole in the spring. Maybe we could also review leaf raking each March and practise for heatstroke every January while we’re at it.

No hope for satire in a world of tweets

ocial media has claimed yet another victim – satire. That much is clear from the reaction to a satirical article in a scientific journal, on a study purportedly conducted in Ottawa showing that mothers’ kisses are ineffective in alleviating minor childhood injuries. “The practice of maternal kissing of boo-boos is not supported by the evidence and we recommend a moratorium on the practice,” said the The Journal for Evaluation in Clinical Practice. The article (written, as it turns out, by a professor in Seattle) was clearly a spoof, to anyone who read it. Could anyone seriously believe this? “To induce head boo-boos, a piece of chocolate was placed under a low table edge and the child would be allowed to crawl to the

the requirement that mothers participating in the study “had to be over the age of 18, English- or French-speaking, and have two lips sufficient in nature to deliver a palpable kiss.” The article was skillfully written, in a style, complete with footnotes, that mimics scientific language. Sad to say, the choice of Ottawa for this sort of foolishness probably gave it credibility – foolishness of this sort not being unknown here. But the tip-offs were vividly clear to anyone who read the original article. That’s the key point. Clearly, most people didn’t read it. Instead, they read the outraged reactions, online, from those who, while not having read it themselves, had heard about it, online.

acted, some condemning the study, some condemning the fact that the study was a hoax. Yikes. As the Ottawa Citizen reported, the topic made headlines around the world. And all because some scientists decided to have some fun in a journal and some people didn’t get the joke. And the people who don’t get the joke are on Twitter. In 140 characters, context is lost. And context is everything in satire, or any kind of comedy. The other day U.S. President Obama appeared with Jerry Seinfeld in an online program called Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The president joked that he could call in a nuclear submarine from the back seat of his car. If you saw it, you knew it was a joke. If you read about in 140 characters maybe you didn’t. You hope that Putin didn’t see it on Twitter.

When the nuance is lost and the argument is summarized and widely shared as, say, “writer attacks Trudeau nanny,” all hope of reasonable discourse is lost. It is ironic that in a time when more information is available to us than at any time in history, our capacity for ignorance is so rapidly increasing.

University of Ottawa students, who volunteer as writers and events and marketing specialists at online magazine, Her Campus uOttawa, are preparing to turn heads during the publication’s fourth-annual Capital Catwalk at the EY Centre on Jan. 30. “We’re the only big fashion show that occurs right now, so if people are interested in fashion and live in Ottawa, this is something for them,” said Zoë Crego, the magazine’s president and co-editor-in-chief and fourth-year communications student at the University of Ottawa. “Basically, back four years ago when we started doing it, we really wanted to host a big event on campus,” the Kanata resident said. “And, as a team, we decided to do a fashion show because it was something most of us were interested in.” That inaugural show in early 2013, put on by an

As it turns out, there was demand for a fashion show repeat. “Most of the feedback we heard was that it was a unique event in the sense that there’d never been a fashion show on our campus before,” said Crego. “It was an excuse to get dressed up and listen to music.” The runway event has since grown to feature a longer list of fashion brands and designs and an organizing team made up of both males and females. Male models and signed models have also been added to the runway, as well as a Marketplace where event-goers can browse product lines. It has also given area companies the opportunity to broaden their customer base, connecting directly with university students. This year, Rent frock Repeat, which expanded from Toronto to Ottawa less than a year ago, will show off some of the designer dresses it rents out to the audience it would like to dress. Designers this year will include Zarucci, Zargara, Julien George, Rebecca Rowe, Kristie Lance Designs, Julianne Buchholz and, new this year, Almonte-based Avenir Design Studios. While the show remains popular with the university crowd, many of whom are readers of Her Campus

magazine – which publishes student-written articles on everything from politics and campus life to health and fashion – it has also attracted an older crowd of young professionals.

dation, we really liked the foundation, we really loved the people that work there,” Crego said. “We just thought (about) how much good they do for the community.” The Capital Catwalk is about fashion, and so much more. “Although the fashion show is really fun and exciting and extravagant, at the end of the show we always try to bring it back to the meaning,” Crego said, adding that at the 2014 fashion show, Mayor Jim Watson’s assistant and former uOttawa student, William Bulmer, took the stage to share his throat cancer survival story and the support he received from the foundation. Over the past three years, the show has generated about $15,000 for local charities and organizers this year are hoping to raise $10,000. “It’s really interesting to see, how, when you’re do something fun and you’re getting people involved, you can actually make a difference,” Crego said.

Front-desk services at Leitrim, Greenbank police stations shuttering Week In Review Once again, our Metcalfe office had a number of drop-ins this past Tuesday. What started out as a quiet day turned very busy in the afternoon! I am always happy to see residents drop by and share a chat or talk about simple issues. If you have not been able to visit us yet in the Metcalfe Ward Office, please try to do so at some point this year. Everyone is welcome!

Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The decision to close off public access to front-desk services at the Leitrim and Greenbank police stations as of Jan. 8 will free up two officers and other staff who cover for them in their absence.

The front-desk closures mean residents won’t be able to go there for background checks, which accounted for 80 per cent of the officers’ workload. “When we did the workload analysis it was very, very apparent that we have sworn members there that we weren’t making the best use of,” said acting Supt. Samir Bhatnagar, who is responsible for the Ottawa police district directorate, which includes front-desk services. “It’s all about making the best use of our resources.

Doris Pyper turned a beautiful 90 years young this past week. Friends and family gathered at Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Metcalfe to help her celebrate this milestone. She shows no signs of slowing down! Best wishes Doris for many more. On Thursday, I sent an open letter to open letter to Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) concerning the current lockout of workers at Rideau Carleton Raceway and Slots in Ottawa. I wanted express concerns regarding this lockout and ongoing protest which are negatively impacting the lives of City of Ottawa residents, particularly those in my Ward. I have asked that the negotiations come to an urgent resolution and while negotiations continue, request that both the lockout and protest be performed in a safe manner.

And to have sworn members at those two locations … processing background checks wasn’t the best use of their resources.” They will be redeployed to other police stations. The move echoes similar changes at other policing organizations, such as the Kingston Police Service, which recently closed its frontdesk services to the public after 9 p.m., Bhatnagar said. DEMOLISHING GREENBANK

As well, the redeployments are being made in anticipation of plans to tear down and build a new Nepean police building, and turn the Leitrim station back over to the city. Identified in the 2013 police facilities strategic plan, demolition of the Greenbank station, at 245 Greenbank Rd. in Nepean, is scheduled to take place sometime after staff move out in 2021, though that hinges on when a new south station in Barrhaven will be constructed. “A lot of people in that building would go to south,” said Pamela Mills, director of police facilities, adding the majority of the Barrhaven staff would likely be relocated to that city-owned property on Lodge Road, off Prince of Wales Drive, by 2021. Construction of a new

Greenbank station is expected to be completed in 2025. “With Greenbank Road, there’s a lot of issues with that building. It wasn’t meant to last this long,” said Bhatnagar, who oversees several policing units, including neighbourhood, community police and school resource officers, the youth section, general assignment investigations and the break-and-enter and streetcrime units. “It’s not suitable for the way we work today and the building itself is past its lifecycle,” Mills said. The condition of the building is also an issue. Ottawa police have long said there are problems with the heating, ventilation and plumbing systems, and that to renovate the facility, which dates back to the 1970s, would cost tens of millions of dollars. The new Greenbank Road facility is expected to be ideal as a new base for consolidated corporate police services, including legal counsel, finance, records, human resources and the support services directorate. These are currently located in a number of leased spaces in the city, such as on Fairmont Avenue in Hintonburg, Bhatnagar said. See CLOSING, page 2

Decision made ahead of big changes coming to Nepean, Leitrim stations

Closing public access to free up uniformed officers: supt. Continued from page 12

HANDING OVER THE KEYS TO LEITRIM

The Leitrim station at 4561 Bank St. was to have been returned to the city in 2020, but that has been pushed to 2021 because of a reduced 2016 facilities reserve fund. “We are getting less than we expected to get,” Mills said. The bottom line is that Ottawa police have outgrown that site, though it did undergo an extension and some reworking over the years, she added. The site was home to a one-room schoolhouse since at least the 1850s, and then a four-room schoolhouse until that was torn down in the 1960s, said Glenn Clark, president of the nearby Gloucester Historical Society The property housed the Gloucester police station before it was replaced in the ’70s, he said. “Based on the requirements that we have and our needs across the city, it doesn’t meet our needs,” Mills said. NEW SOUTH BARRHAVEN POLICE STATION

It will be sometime in 2016 when Mills expects to hear back on construction timelines and other project details for the new south-end station in southern Barrhaven, currently estimated to cost $64.8 million. It will be home base to several units, including district and patrol operations, emergency operations personnel, including the tactical and marine, dive and trails units, district traffic, as well as the department’s communications centre. The new station will also offer front-desk services and collision reporting, similar to the Huntmar Drive station in Kanata. “It is for improved deployment,” Mills said, referring to the location of the new site. “It’s all very strategic how they locate stations ...(and) how they deploy resources.”

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Front-desk services at the Leitrim police station, located just north of Findlay Creek at 4561 Bank St., will be permanently closed to the public as of Jan. 8. The change, which will free up sworn officers, is also being made ahead of plans to move staff to a future Barrhaven station and turn the Leitrim building back over to the city in 2021. The facilities plan is also designed to respond to population growth in the south end of the city, in areas like Barrhaven and Riverside South. “It’s really all about streamlining operations and the efficiency of the service, as well as appropriately placing it in the community where it’s needed,” Mills said. “It’s all to represent more efficient operations, which always leads to more cost savings.” When asked how much money it could save, the director couldn’t provide a dollar figure, but said, “It certainly represents value for the city otherwise we wouldn’t be doing it.” HEALTH AND SAFETY

The health and safety of officers and staff also factored into the decision to close front-desk services at Leitrim and Greenbank. Because of the changes coming to both sites, it was decided not to improve the front-desk areas of those buildings, saving $140,000 for Leitrim and $132,000 at Greenbank. “It’s hard to justify that investment,” Bhatnagar said, adding that stations in Kanata and Orléans, at the Elgin Street headquarters and another site at Queensview Drive have seen more than

$300,000 in upgrades. Closing public access to the front desks will free up the equivalent of 2.85 fulltime staff, since the officers were relieved by other staff during vacations and sick leave. “It does enhance our ability to operate our other frontline services a little better at the other four locations because right away the two bodies are going to go there,” Bhatnagar said. Their redeployment comes as a result of the organization’s ongoing service initiative, which is being done to enhance policing services, create efficiencies and develop a sustainable policing model, as well as relieve pressure on front-line patrol officers amid budget constraints, Bhatnagar said. “Absolutely everything has been impacted for quite some time,” he said, from deployments to vacation schedules. “Hopefully, this decision will help alleviate some of those issues. Every officer helps.”

unty was packed up to go. If you could call it packing up. Everything she owned was carried about in a small tapestry bag. It came with her in the late fall that year, and left with her when she went to another relative over on the Barr Line when spring was breaking, or where ever else she could find a home. I never knew her by any name other than Aunty. Everyone in our house called her Aunty, including Father, who, when she first arrived, vowed he had never laid eyes on her in his life. And certainly, Mother coming from New York and all, had no idea who she was. She just arrived one day walking in the long lane from the Northcote Side Road, dressed entirely in black, with her skirt just a bare inch above the ground, black laced boots to her ankles, and a white bonnet that never left her head until she crawled into bed at night. Everything she needed was in that tapestry bag, including all her sewing needs, which she said was why she was at our house to begin with. Of course, my sister Audrey and I had to give up our bed for Aunty, putting us downstairs in the kitchen to sleep foot-to-foot on the narrow creton couch. That was the only year she came for such a long

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories time, for which Audrey and I were truly grateful, since we missed our own bed upstairs. Aunty had busy fingers that year. She put new lugs on our winter hats, sewed missing buttons onto shirts, turned out hand-knitted mitts, and made long crocheted strings which we girls wore under our winter coats, around our necks and down the inside of the sleeves, supposedly to keep our mitts from getting lost. She also insisted on adding her bit to the Grace, which Father always said before we put a bite of food to our mouths. Although her Grace wasn’t long, it certainly had a message, which you couldn’t miss. As well as thanking God for what we were about to eat, she thanked Him for providing her with a place to stay over the long winter, repeating Mother and Father’s name more than once so that He would know exactly who she was talking about. Of course, this made them very reluctant to complain about a visit from someone who nobody knew

from Adam. She was as big as a minute, and yet she packed away enough food to feed half of Renfrew County. If there was one little sausage left on the platter, she plucked it off, saying “Waste not, want not,” as if even a morsel as small as a sausage would ever get thrown away in our house! It would either go into the big granite pot that sat continuously on the back of the stove for soup, or someone would get it at the next meal. Wasting food was a mortal sin in our house! But cleaning off the platter, or scooping up the last boiled carrot gave Aunty another whack at finishing off whatever was left from the meal, and what good it did her, never showed, because she was as thin as a rail. She left redding up the kitchen to my sister Audrey and me. After she finished eating, she headed right for Father’s rocking chair, where her tapestry bag sat, fishing out whatever she needed for the sewing job at hand. See Mary page 22

Province pledges support for Ottawa refugees The organizations assisting in the resettlement of Syrian refugees were given a helping hand from the Ontario government just before Christmas. Of the $5.5 million the province has allocated to assisting in the support of arriving refugees, $1.33 million will be headed to Ottawa. In total, the province has committed to allocating $8.5 million over the next twoand-a-half years, meaning more announcements will come in the New Year. The first round of funds will support key areas of the resettlement process, which is already underway now that the first planeloads of new Canadians have arrived from refugee camps in Turkey and Jordan. Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said, “$800,000 will go to the Catholic Centre for Immigrants (CCI), who will be co-ordinating settlement services for refugees.” The remaining money will be split between Refugee613 and the University of Ottawa refugee sponsorship support program. The CCI will deliver case management and housing support while referring refugees to local agencies to deal with other needs. Refugee 613 is co-ordinating private sponsorships and helping integrate arriving refugees, while the University of Ottawa’s program will train lawyers and law students to provide legal support for the preparation of sponsorship applications. “The Catholic Centre for Immigrants applauds the province for providing this early funding to help us scale up settlement services,” said Carl Nicholson, executive director of CCI. “Integration happens in our community on the ground. While we are working hard with our partners to help receive refugees in Ottawa, we must focus on the long-term integration of these newcomers in our community. This includes working with our partners to ensure proper language, em-

ployment and housing supports to build networks and succeed.” More ground-level collaboration takes place at the Special Advisory Table on Refugees, of which Naqvi is a member. Naqvi said the process of settling an expected 800 to 1,000 refugees in Ottawa over the coming year is an effort requiring participation at all levels. “Privately sponsored refugees … will also be using settlement services: literacy help, training, health services,” he said. “The federal government is providing support

for initial accommodation and services (among the rest). A lot of work is happening at the provincial level – children coming into the school system, primary health care, mental health services, literary services – we’re looking at how we can boost them up to accommodate the need.” An analysis of what longterm supports will be needed will occur once the initial effort to house and acclimatize the refugees is complete. This is needed to ensure long-term success for the new citizens, said Naqvi.

OSU Partners with Atletico de Madrid, Dallas Texans and NIKE Ottawa South United (OSU), is pleased to announce that through its partnership with the Dallas Texans Soccer Club and Nike, it will become part of the Cooperation Agreement that the famous Spanish soccer club, Atletico de Madrid, signed with the Dallas Texans Soccer Club. Founded in 1903, Club Atlético de Madrid has 112 years of history. It is one of the most highly decorated clubs in the world, and indisputably in Spain. In its recent history, the Club has been showing a great dominance on the field being able to play 9 finals and to win 7 titles, which makes the last 5 years a memorable period in the History of Club Atlético de Madrid, full of achievements and remarkable records: 2 Europa Leagues, 2 UEFA Supercup, 1 Spanish Kings Cup, 1 League, 1 Spanish Supercup. All of these victories caught the attention of both local and global media and football fans and made Atletico one of the most renowned and attractive teams worldwide. OSU is extremely excited about this cooperation. It will allow our OSU Academy coaches to invest time, training and learning at Atletico de Madrid’s youth academy to further the coaching and player development of OSU Players and Coaches. As the relationship grows Atletico de Madrid coaches will visit the OSU Force to conduct coaches’ clinics for our staff, train and observe OSU players. Nike, the major sponsor of OSU, Dallas Texans and Atletico de Madrid, was instrumental in the creation of this relationship. Bill Michalopulos, President of OSU, believes that key international partnerships are very important for the development of coaches and players and that this agreement is a new milestone in the growth of OSU. “Exclusive and value add partnerships have been a way of life for OSU since our inception in 2003.More and more OSU players aspire to play at higher levels as well as professionally with European or MLS clubs. This exclusive, for Canada, international partnership with this famous Spanish club that is renowned for player development, is a concrete and unique way to help facilitate this objective and to make all our coaches and players better. Even for our players who would prefer to focus in playing in University or College, the exposure of our coaches and players to the Atletico style of play will be extremely beneficial, especially from the country and culture that have been European and World Champions.” On behalf of Atletico de Madrid, Emilio Gutierrez, the Academy General Director, added that “as a sports organization, we think that football, due to the media dimension that it reaches internationally, and due to the values that it represents, is becoming a strategic tool that serves to bring cultures together and tighten bonds between countries and people. Sport, when well channeled, is an excellent platform of global communication, which functions to send messages, perform actions and project business strategies on a worldwide level. For this reason, we have always believed in goodness of sharing strategies with organizations and institutions, which allow us to promote our relationships with other countries and establish synergies that are beneficial for all of the parties involved.” The affiliation will begin with the current soccer year. We are looking forward to this great opportunity.

Toning down our technology for a refreshing change in 2016

hink of how dependent we are upon technology. And then think of where you would rather not be, when the power goes out. Most places have generator back-up power but what if, for example, you were up on the highest point of a chair lift, suspended over a deep valley in the mountains? Yikes. I would not do well with that one. That was the first thing that popped into my head when the power went out at Walmart on Saturday. Our friendly cashier, Sue, had just rung through my $350 order and I had my card in the machine when the lights went down. We were stranded. Held hostage for a few minutes by the electricity fairies. But at least we were not on a chair lift, suspended over a deep valley. I’m not sure what we

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife would have done if the power had not returned. As it was, we had to un-bag and re-scan each item all over again. The power went out for close to 100,000 hydro customers Christmas Eve. We weren’t among them, but we have had our power go out before while awaiting 20 people for a regular Sunday dinner. I wanted to cancel but the Farmer just considered it a challenge. We lit candles and he cooked our dinner on the bbq. Over the holidays we gathered the women and

children together for a very special photo session. With the arrival of Leti, my granddaughter, we now have five generations. My grandmother, Victoria, is 100. Her daughter, my mother Maureen, is 71. I am 47, my daughter Anastasia is 24, the same age my mother was when she had me. Leti is just a month old. I look at the five faces in that photograph and I think about how different life is for each of us. My grandmother grew up on a farm in Quebec. She had five children: four boys and a girl, my mother.

Grandma’s marriage ended in the 1950’s, when she was in her late 30’s. I can just imagine the stress she went through, working to make ends meet, raising five kids on her own. The struggles in her life only rounded out her character. She has a great sense of humour, a quick Irish temper, and a buoyant, optimistic spirit. I think I inherited that from her, at least, if not her tenacity. My mother has her mother’s boundless energy. She too sings from morning to night, and hurries to get things done effectively and efficiently. I have never seen her being lazy. She doesn’t even slow down enough to get sick. She is always doing at least two things at once. If she is watching television, she is also folding laundry. When we were young she always worked outside the

profile; she prefers to spend her time out of doors with her four dogs, her husband and now, her baby daughter. It will be fun to watch as the new Anastasia emerges. The Annie that is raising a child. I look at this tiny new baby, Leti, and wonder what life will be like by the time she is ready to be a mom. How important will technology be for us then, or will we have learned to put electronic devices in the background where they belong? Maybe by the time Leti is an adult, families will be growing their own food and finding alternative ways of travel that do not pollute the earth. Or maybe that will take another generation, or two.

Hi my name is Phoebe. I’m a 7 month old Maltese. Don’t let that rugged outdoorsman look fool you. I like to be indoors in my mom’s arms. To keep in shape I terrorize the neighborhood squirrels from my family room window.

home, returning after a full day in the office to whip something up in the kitchen and get dinner on the table by 6. I always have at least two things on the go: a project / course / book as well as my day job. I’ve been a single mom for a time as well so I understand the value of a dollar and I am constantly worried there won’t be enough. It’s a hard feeling to shake. I value the things money can’t buy far more, however, and I thank the women in my life for that. I’m trying to remember not to let the distractions of technology get in the way of enjoying the people around me. I need to focus more, and to live in the moment. My husband has that gift mastered, and I do well to follow his lead. Anastasia is not your typical twenty-four-yearold. She has no Facebook

She never talked much, but sitting in Father’s rocker, (which seemed to annoy him more as her visit droned on) in a low hum, always in only about two notes, she purred away, peering out from under her white starched hat which only left her head when she went to bed at night. She wasn’t above scolding one of us kids either. “Please” and “Thank you” were high on her list of priorities, so she matched Mother in that respect, who was known to snatch a piece of bread right out of our hands at the table if we failed to thank the person who was passing the plate.

came when Aunty was ready to move on. If she had any money, she never spent it at our house. But she had enough obviously to buy a train ticket to Pembroke, where she said she was going to visit a cousin who was a nun in the convent there. Father was mighty suspicious about her having a cousin who was a Catholic, as his whole family was Lutheran, which made him more leery than ever about her relationship to the Hanemans. Spring was in the air the day Aunty was loaded into the buggy and driven to the station in Northcote, where the train would have to be flagged down to stop to pick up Aunty. It was a Saturday. Cleaning day, beds changed, laundry gotten ready for the Mon-

day wash. Before my sister Audrey and I reached for the dust mops, we changed the bed Aunty had been sleeping in, put on clean flannelette sheets, flung ourselves on top of the feather tickings and giggled like two hyenas. No more footto-foot on the couch in the kitchen. Father, who never took a break during the daytime, when he came back from the station, plopped down in his rocking chair, lit his pipe, and promptly fell asleep. The house was back to normal.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, finding time to get everything done can be challenging. Fortunately, you have quite a few friends willing to spare some time and lend you a helping hand. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Difficult decisions can take time to work through, Taurus. Although you want to address all situations, this week isn’t a good one for making big decisions. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, something keeps nagging at you and you can’t get it out of your head. Trust your intuition and be on guard. With some careful thought, a solution will present itself. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 A hectic schedule may have you feeling some pressure, Cancer. Keep in mind that all of your deadlines are self-imposed, so just factor a little more time into your week. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, sometimes you have to make a few mistakes before you get things right. Don’t let this worry you, as trial and error is all a part of the learning process. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may suspect what’s around the corner, but you are not ready to take the plunge just yet. Give it a little more time until you feel ready and secure.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Work with your doctor to develop a plan for meeting some healthy resolutions, Libra. It is important to make your health a priority this week. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, it may prove impossible to escape all of your responsibilities right now, but you can let a few slide for the time being. Tackle the most daunting projects first. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You cannot avoid a complex issue forever, Sagittarius. Come clean with the person you may have been hiding from, and work with this person to reach a resolution. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, it may be frightening to reveal your true feelings about something, especially when the truth might change your life in a dramatic way. Muster your courage. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Others appreciate all that you do for them, Aquarius. But sometimes they have to do for themselves to learn valuable lessons. This week is a time to step aside. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, while you are busy helping other people, you may discover that it’s time to take a step back and tend to your own needs. 0114

(Kanata) Wildbrine Kimchi

Wildbrine makes an authentic Kimchi. It comes in a variety of flavours and my personal favourite is the Korean one. Pair it with any meal for a healthy addition and for tons of flavour you’ve never experienced before!

I can’t say enough good things about this deodorant! I love this product because of how natural the ingredients are and how well it works. Great for moisture absorption and odour elimination. It is the ultimate deodorant!

(Westboro) Koyo Foods Mame Miso

I love miso because it’s one of the world’s healthiest foods and it tastes great! It’s made of fermented soy so it’s great for your digestive system as well as cardiovascular health. It’s so easy to use in stirfries, sandwiches, dressings and soups. Every time you make a dish with it, everyone will get what you’re talking about!
