New Years Day fire in Greely Ottawa rings in new year with Bell Capital Cup. -Page 6

A Greely home was destroyed by an early morning fire on New Year’s Day. Ottawa Fire Services was called to a fire at 6986 Shields Dr at 5:40 a.m. on Jan.1. When firefighters arrived at the home, the fire had completely engulfed the structure, which is a bungalow. All of the people in the house had managed to escape but one male occupant sustained minor burns. Two firefighters were treated for smoke inhalation as a result of their air packs freezing in the extremely cold temperatures. The damage to the home is estimate to be $375,000 for the building and $100,000 for the contents.

and so are the savings

News - The sight of a school bus parked in a driveway is as rural as a farmer’s field.

But it turns out, parking the big yellow buses in Ottawa driveways isn’t actually allowed.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson discovered that recently.

A resident in his ward complained about a neighbour who drives a school bus and parks the vehicle in their driveway.

“All those people who park their buses are doing it illegally,” Thompson said.

Thompson asked the head of the rural land-use planning department to look into ways to “get around or revisit” the bylaw during a Dec. 5 meeting of the agriculture and rural affairs committee.

News - Ottawa citizens won’t go to the polls until Oct. 27, but the 2014 municipal election is already underway.

The last municipal election in 2010 amounted to something of a housecleaning. Ten new faces appeared around the council horseshoe and six incumbents lost their bids for re-election.

In addition to 20 candidates for mayor, a total of 110 people vied for 23 council seats.

Turnout in the last election was down: 44 per cent of eligible voters, or 269,547 people, cast ballots, compared to 55 per cent in the prior election in 2006.

BECOMING A CANDIDATE

Nominations opened Jan. 2

and will continue until Sept. 12, which is also the final day nominations can be withdrawn.

Anyone age 18 or older can run in the election if: • They are a resident of Ottawa or an owner or tenant of land in the city. Spouses of landowners and tenants are also eligible.

• They are a Canadian citizen who is not prohibited from voting by law.

A candidate must file nomi-

nation papers in person or by an agent acting on his or her behalf.

The signed hard copy must be filed at the elections office at city hall or at any city client service centre.

There is a $200 fee to run for mayor and a $100 cost to file a nomination for city councillor or school board trustee.

Busy past and challenging future for Osgoode Ward joe.morin@metroland.com

News - Osgoode Ward is continuing to grow.

New growth brings along with it many different challenges for communities and residents. The new commercial and residential growth for the ward is expected to put unprecedented strain on the area’s infrastructure, especially area roads.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson has been shepherding his community through the many changes it has experienced as well as helping to plan for its future.

Thompson is a veteran rural politician who was re-elected to city council in 2010.

His ongoing concern for his ward’s infrastructure has never been far from his mind. “One of the big issues is maintaining our infrastructure,� he said.

As a result of his negotiating with the city and fellow councillors he has managed to secure $12 million worth of infrastructure dollars for his

OSGOODE COUNCILLOR DOUG THOMOPSON ward. “Last year we only had $4 million,� said Thompson. “I have worked hard with councillors, city staff and the mayor,� he said, adding, “This is a significant amount of money for the Osgoode Ward.�

Thompson claims the ward is only spending around 25 per cent of what it should be spending on its infrastructure. “We were falling behind,� said Thompson.

Infrastructure in rural areas is composed largely of roads,

bridges, drainage ditches and culverts. Osgoode has several hundred kilometres of paved and gravel roads that are in constant need of maintenance.

The rural character of Osgoode attracts a great many people who want that particular lifestyle but still need to find a reliable way to commute into Ottawa.

In 2013, the issue of when and if the city and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation could come to some kind of agreement about where to build a new casino had the operators of the Rideau Carleton Raceway concerned.

Thompson had proposed that the raceway be the only spot for a casino but his voice was only one of many around the city’s council table voicing different ideas and opinions about where a new or refurbished casino should be located.

At stake were the jobs of between 800 to 900 employees at the Rideau Carleton Raceway and more than $20 million in wages. “It was a big battle,� said

Thompson.

By the time the dust had settled in the casino debate, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson had reversed his decision and the way to protecting the racetrack was clear. “This is a huge bonus for our community,� said Thompson. “The mayor changed his position and I am glad that he did,� said Thompson. “We are still waiting to see who the investors will be, but at least they will be investing in Rideau Carleton. Another achievement for Thompson was the creation of a human-wildlife strategy for the city. “We have spent a couple of years creating the wildlife strategy,� explained Thompson who is the chair of the agriculture and rural affairs committee for the city and was confronted with an increasing conflict between rural residents and the wildlife that naturally inhabit areas that were subject to urbanization. “The process has been finalised and now all that is needed is to put the pieces of

the process in place,� he said.

The result of the new strategy is that the city has an actual process for dealing with any negative interactions with the area’s wildlife.

Thompson said there is much work still to be done in maintaining his ward. Many of the streets in the ward’s five main villages are in need of repair.

Two groups of investors are looking at developing com-

mercial projects similar to the Manotick Mews in the village of Manotick. Another group is considering building two ice pads in Greely, another indication of new growth and the anticipation of more residential development in the area.

There are a few contentious issues to be faced in 2014.

Taggart-Miller has proposed a new landfill sight on the east side of Boundary Road.

Newspapers had many uses in the Depression years

E

ven though the Depression was all around us, and money was as scarce as hen’s teeth, there always seemed to be enough to have many newspapers come into our house in Renfrew County.

The Renfrew Mercury and the Ottawa Farm Journal came as regular as clockwork, and the Family Herald and Weekly Star, thick as the sole of a boot, was delivered by the mail man and had something in it of interest to everyone in the family.

As well, when Mother

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories could spare the 25 cents, she brought home the Philadelphia Inquirer from Ritza’s Drug Store, just because there was plenty of news in it about her beloved New York.

Every paper was read cover to cover. The Renfrew

Mercury was a real farmer’s paper, with a spattering of social news, like who had visited who for afternoon tea, and of course, it was full of ads of the stores in Renfrew that were offering not-to-bemissed sales of the week, like

long underwear for $1.

The Ottawa Farm Journal was just that, a journal for farmers, but offered plenty of news about what was going on at Parliament Hill, enough to cause Father to swear in German when he read it.

The Family Herald and Weekly Star came from some far off place, and when it arrived in our mail box at the end of the lane, it was as exciting as getting the new issue of the Eaton’s catalogue.

There were puzzles, pen pals to exchange letters with, a pattern Mother could send for

10 cents, and my favourite, a picture to be coloured with crayons.

Mother’s Philadelphia Inquirer was of no interest to anyone but Mother. When she was finished with it, it looked like a piece of Swiss cheese.

She spent hours clipping and pasting into her scrap books any mention of New York.

Every scrap of newspaper, once it had been read, was saved for another use.

The papers were piled in the wood box beside the Findlay Oval at the ready. When the pile got too high, they Didn’t get your

were moved to the summer kitchen.

The soot-covered lampshades on the coal oil lamps were cleaned with bunched up newspapers. This was a job I hated, but since I was the youngest, with the smallest arms, it was my duty to clean them. I hated the feel and the sound, which reminded me of a piece of chalk rubbed the wrong way on the blackboard at Northcote School. It didn’t take long for the first wipe to turn the paper black as ink. By the third wipe, you could at last see inside the glass shade, and by then my hand and arm right up to the elbow were covered with soot.

Newspapers were used to put a shine to the burners of the kitchen stove too. This was done when the fire had died down. Mother would take a blob of pork grease, dab it here and there on the lids, and with a big wad of newspaper, she would clean off the stove. The smell of singed grease would fill the kitchen, and Emerson, to add a bit of drama, would pretend he was choking to death, clutch his throat, and hold his breath until he turned red in the face. The smell would stay in the house until the next time the stove was stoked and the remains of the grease burned away.

Recyling was way to go Continued from page 4

And of course Father couldn’t start the fire in the morning without a good supply of newspapers from the wood box.

They were scrunched up, the kindling put on top, then the smaller blocks of wood, the papers lit, and the stove was set for the day.

The well-read newspapers got a real workout every Saturday morning too.

Once the floors had been scrubbed, papers were spread out to keep the floors as clean as possible for as long as possible, which wasn’t long once winter had set in.

To save the braided mats from taking the brunt of the snow off our boots, several layers of newspapers were spread out on the mats at the door, and when they were sodden through, rolled up, tucked back into the wood box to dry out, and then fed

into the Findlay Oval, where they sizzled and spit in the fire.

It wasn’t unusual, if a pair of shoes came in the handme-down box from Aunt Lizzie that were too big, for a wad of newspaper to be crammed in the toes.

Once the floors had been scrubbed, papers were spread out to keep the floors as clean as possible for as long as possible, which wasn’t long once winter had set in.

My three brothers always used several thicknesses of newspaper folded tightly and placed under their felt innersoles to help keep their feet

dry in the winter.

Always, when the stove wasn’t covered with boiling pots, sizzling fry pans, and the white granite tea pot, sitting on the reservoir would be three or four bricks.

When we were leaving the farm on a blistering cold day or night, the bricks were wrapped in thick layers of newspapers and then put at our feet in the cutter or sleigh to help keep us from freezing.

We never had to just burn newspapers to get rid of them.

There was a use for every one of them.

Every newspaper that came into the house back in those Depression years went on to another life. It was recycling at its highest, long before the word was ever invented.

The city is looking into whether changes can be made to a bylaw that restricts the length of vehicles that can be parked in a private laneway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including school buses.

7,&2

In Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind, school buses are a special case because they serve children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bylaw (services) had to react,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said. If more people start calling in complaints after learning that parking school buses in driveways is illegal, Thompson is worried it â&#x20AC;&#x153;could mushroom out of control.â&#x20AC;?

The ultimate fear is enforcing the bylaw could put parttime bus drivers out of work, Thompson said.

Someone from Stock Transportation, one of the largest local school bus companies, contacted Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office after hearing about the bylaw issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A number of their employees park their buses at home,â&#x20AC;?

Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be a dreadful situation if in fact this process would not be allowed.â&#x20AC;?

Calls to Stock Transportation were not returned.

Putting fun back in hockey

O

ttawa rang in another new year with the 15th edition of the Bell Capital Cup. Despite the almost record low temperatures over the past few weeks, it warms the heart to watch children from all over the world gather at arenas across the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital in celebration of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game.

The five-day tournament provides a welcome economic boost, drawing more than 15,000 visitors to the city, with thousands of hotel rooms rented for the event. The tournament has also raised more than $2.4 million in support of minor hockey and local charities since it began in 1999.

More than 6,500 youth hit the ice to participate in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest hockey tournament on community ice rinks across Ottawa from Dec. 28 to Jan. 1, with the opening ceremonies held at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata. This amounts to 310 teams in 19 divisions for the annual atom and peewee hockey tournament, with participants coming from Canada, China, Japan, Finland, Germany, Austria and the United States.

The Ottawa area is always well represented at the tournament, with a number of teams competing for the top spot, including the Kanata Blazers, the Nepean Raiders, the Ottawa Sting, the Ottawa Silver Seven and the Gloucester Rangers.

But this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a competition centred around which team racks up the most victories, or who wins their division â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the highlight of the festival is, as it always has been, the lasting memories created for the both the children and their parents. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about kids having fun playing games, enjoying each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company, sharing laughs and making new friends. The glory of hockey, the reason itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s woven into our national fabric, is it can be enjoyed by girls and boys, men and women, and as those with physical disabilities.

Often we forget that hockey is just a game, distracted by our fanatical devotion to professional teams chasing Stanley Cup glory. Too often, we celebrate the bloody fist fights that mark the â&#x20AC;&#x153;competitive spiritâ&#x20AC;? of National Hockey League teams, driven to win precious points to make the playoffs.

For fans, the success of a team is marked in the back pages of the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports section, recording a teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wins and losses, as well as the goals and assists tallied by players. Concepts such as good fellowship, laughter and fun usually take a back seat to goals against average, plus-minus and power play and penalty kill percentages.

Tournaments such as the Bell Capital Cup remind all of us why we enjoy playing hockey, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the true glory of the event.

Making some fearless predictions for 2014

1

There will be 7,345,187 instances of fearless predictions for 2014, journalists having nothing else to write about over the holidays.

2. The year will begin with a flurry of speculation about who will run for mayor of Ottawa in 2014. Virtually everyone will be mentioned except for Daniel Alfredsson and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Detroit most of the time. This flurry will last until people grow tired of it, which will be in mid-February.

3. In mid-February, downtown Ottawa will officially disappear in cloud of construction dust. People will eventually grow weary of looking for it and look for other downtowns to frequent, such as the downtowns of Kanata, Barrhaven and OrlĂŠans. When downtown Ottawa re-emerges, around 2022, everyone will have forgotten where it is.

4. The same goes for Lansdowne Park.

5. In a related development, enterprising Glebe homeowners will turn once again to a historical revenue-producing activity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; renting out their lawns for parking. The more visionary of these will create underground parking beneath their lawns.

6. In March, local sports commentators will demand that Senators coach Paul McLean be fired.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town 7. In April, the Senators will make the playoffs and local sports commentators will demand that McLean be named coach of the year.

8. In May, Daniel Alfredsson will announce his retirement from hockey and speculation about his run for the Ottawa mayoralty will resume. This will be immediately booed by Toronto Maple Leaf fans. Pundits will suggest that Alfredsson has no chance, since he lacks many of the qualities of a successful mayor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for example, he does not have addiction problems and he can button all the buttons on his shirt.

9. In June, the Senators will no longer be in the playoffs and most of the snow will be gone.

10. Practices will begin for the Ottawa

RedBlacks, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Canadian Football League franchise. Team members will have to be helicoptered in because there is not enough parking in the Glebe. On a positive note, Ottawa residents will stop complaining about the team name. As one season ticket-holder says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than Ottawa BlueOranges.â&#x20AC;?

11. Ten more outdoor stores and 21 more restaurants will open in Westboro in July. Centuries from now, archaeologists will wonder why all the remains discovered in one section of Ottawa suggest that every resident was overweight and wore hiking boots.

12. In July, the RedBlacks will win their first game, defeating the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Winnipeg coach will explain that his team was disoriented, suffering an identity crisis after moving from the West Division to the East Division and back for the second time in 20 years. Winnipeg sources will also reveal that, because of the success of the RedBlacks, the Winnipeg team might change its name to the BlueGolds.

13. In September, Daniel Alfredsson will announce that he is definitely not running for mayor of Ottawa. Toronto Maple Leaf fans will boo him anyway. As of mid-month, the only officially announced candidates will be Jim Watson and John Turmel.

14. In October, tunnelling workers will accidentally bury the Senate building and a nearby McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant. Frantic attempts will be made to save the McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

15. Later in the month, the city will be consumed by rumours of an early federal election, because there is nothing else to talk about. When the snow comes, election talk will cease.

16. Predictions of a catastrophic snow storm will dominate the airwaves and the catastrophic snow storm will not appear. This will be the ninth catastrophic storm not to appear in 2014.

17. Jim Watson will narrowly defeat John Turmel in the Ottawa mayoralty race. Experts will say the difference-maker was Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promise to find downtown Ottawa and put a casino in it.

Osgoode looks to the future Continued from Page 3

Area residents from Carlsbad Springs, Edwards and the surrounding area seem to be for the most part opposed to the site.

The location of the landfill site is in the Cumberland Ward which is represented by Coun. Stephen Blais.

He and Thompson has been supporting the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dump the Dump2â&#x20AC;? committee.

Future challenges for the Osgoode Ward are many, such as the prospect of a loss of voice at the council table as the city considers re-aligning the 23 wards in the Ottawa.

At the moment there are four decidedly rural wards as opposed to 19 urban ones.

The rural wards are: RideauGoulbourn, Osgoode, Cumberland and West Carleton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could reduce our voice at

oil from Alberta and Saskatchewan to the east coast.

A section of the TransCanada pipeline proposal would cross the Rideau River.

A small portion of the south west corner of Osgoode Ward would be affected.

Thompson has been a resident of Osgoode since 1967.

He was an elementary school teacher for 35 years.

He served as a councillor for the township of Osgoode for 14 years during which time he was a member of every municipal committee and community board.

He was the mayor of the township of Osgoode for three years (Dec. 1, 1997 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dec. 31, 2000).

In 2000 he was elected to the city of Ottawa council as councillor for Ward 20.

The ward came into being on Jan. 1, 2001.

council,â&#x20AC;? said Thompson.

Added to that kind of loss of rural representation is the fact that continued growth will eventually reshape and define rural sensibilities, explained Thompson.

Future challenges for the Osgoode Ward are many, such as the prospect of a loss of voice at the council table as the city considers re-aligning the 23 wards in the Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The change from rural to more urban is slowly happening before our eyes,â&#x20AC;? said Thompson.

Another challenge will be the utilization of existing pipelines to carry

Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report REFLECTING ON THREE YEARS IN OFFICE

By Jim Watson It is hard to believe that it has been just over three years since our Council began its term. The time has ďŹ&#x201A;own by as my Council colleagues and I have tried our best to work together in a calm and professional manner to move the Ottawa forward on a number of fronts. As we begin the last year of our term, it is worth looking back on what we have accomplished so far. ) CAMPAIGNED IN ON A PROMISE TO LIMIT ANY ANNUAL TAX RATE INCREASE TO A MAXIMUM OF ) AM PROUD TO SAY THAT WE BEAT THAT TARGET IN EACH SUCCESSIVE YEAR IN IN IN AND JUST FOR 7HILE CONTROLLING TAXES IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE THE necessary investments in the future of our city. We must constantly upgrade roads, sidewalks, sewers and water mains and at the same time provide the services that everyone demands each and every day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; police, ďŹ re, paramedics, libraries, parks and recreation facilities and programming, public transit, fresh water, waste removal and recycling, and much more. We have found a balance to do just this and also maintain Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong credit ratings.

Over the past three years we have had projects of all sizes get off the ground that taken together are beginning to transform our City for the better.

We managed to freeze recreation fees for four years to beneďŹ t young and old across the city and we have invested in libraries across Ottawa.

Brand new recreation facilities have been completed in Kanata and Orleans and another is under construction in Barrhaven to better SERVICE OUR GROWING COMMUNITIES )N ADDITION THE NEW 3ENSPLEX %AST will open in the fall of 2014 to bolster our cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rink capacity for teams and skaters of all ages.

We have invested $340 Million in road, sidewalk, bike lane, sewer and watermain infrastructure through our Ottawa on the Move program.

This work has been disruptive for some but it is short-term pain for long-term gain and the more than 400 projects that are part of it will help bring our infrastructure and entire transportation system up to the level needed before the opening of our Light Rapid Transit system (LRT).

The LRT is the single most important infrastructure project in our City since the digging of the Rideau Canal. After years of delay and false starts the mammoth $2.1 Billion 13km project is now under CONSTRUCTION WITH A lXED PRICE CONTRACT AND A ROUTE THAT WILL TRANSFORM the way people move around our city. We have secured a world-class consortium of companies to do the work and I know we are all looking forward to the Confederation Lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completion in 2018.

GM leads the way in

choosing a new CEO

Biondo, General Motors’ Global Vehicle Security lead. “With new standard features and the available theft protection package, we are making the all-new 2015 Tahoe a less attractive target to thieves and more secure for our customers.” If a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is stolen, the standard equipment OnStar (GM’s communication system) can help. Stolen Vehicle Assistance consisting of Stolen Vehicle Location, Stolen Vehicle Slowdown and Remote Ignition Block all can assist law enforcement in stolen vehicle location and recovery.

by Brian Turner

Mary Barra, 51, executive vice president, Global Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain, was elected by the board of directors to become the next CEO of General Motors. Barra will also join the GM Board. She thus becomes the first woman to head a multinational auto manufacturer.

Mary was named senior VP, global product development in February, 2011 and was responsible for the design, engineering, program management and quality of GM vehicles around the world. In August of 2013, she assumed responsibility for GM’s global purchasing/supply chain organization as an executive VP. She had previously been VP of global human resources. She has also served as VP for global manufacturing engineering; plant manager at Detroit Hamtramck Assembly; executive director of competitive operations engineering; and has held several engineering and staff positions.

In 1990, Barra graduated with a Masters in Business Administration from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. She began her career with GM in 1980 as a General Motors Institute (Kettering University) coop student at the Pontiac Motor Division.

She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering.

She serves on the General Dynamics and Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute Board of Directors. Barra is also a member of the Kettering University Board of Trustees and is GM’s Key Executive for Stanford University and University of California-Berkeley.

2015 Tahoe Beefs Up Security Customers of the 2015 Chevrolet fullsized SUV, the Tahoe will get a vehicle that offers a new level of security and one designed to deter thieves who target vehicle parts. New standard features include a steering column lock that deters push-away and tow-away theft ( a significant portion of today’s stolen vehicle incidents), side cut keys that deter lock picking, and more robust door lock cylinders and shields to prevent access with slim-jims and other tools. Also new in this and other GM models is hidden storage, such as a compartment behind the available infotainment screen accessible by electronic code.

Bircher Muesli a Swiss favourite and filling Lifestyle - Oats are soaked beforehand instead of cooked in the morning, making it an ideal healthy breakfast for time-starved cooks.

While the recipe originates in Switzerland, it makes use of Ontario’s apples, honey or maple syrup and calcium-rich dairy.

Preparation time: five minutes. Soaking time: four hours. Serves two.

INGREDIENTS

• 125 ml (1/2 cup) large flake rolled oats (not instant) • 125 ml (1/2 cup) milk • 0.5 ml (1/8 tsp) cinnamon • 1 small apple (unpeeled) • 25 ml (2 tbsp) chopped almonds • 25 ml (2 tbsp) raisins, dried cranberries or chopped

dried apricots • 50 ml (1/4 cup) plain or vanilla yogurt • 15 ml (1 tbsp) honey or maple syrup PREPARATION

In a medium bowl, combine the oats, milk and cinnamon. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.

Just before serving, dice the apple and stir it along with the almonds and raisins into the oatmeal mixture. Divide the mixture between bowls and top with yogurt and drizzle with honey.

Tip: Vary the fruit according to the seasons.

Try other nuts or dried fruit to suit your taste.

Whatever happened to being a gentleman?

To the editor,

Are gentlemen now an incongruous anachronism, or perhaps just a dying breed of men?

Yes, I’m now 65 and still very much enjoy opening doors for ladies, saying: “Ladies first.” I like extending my open hand to assist a lady who’s getting up from an awkward position, or holding out my arm for her when the going gets slippery.

Unfortunately, I’m starting to think that I really need to modernize or else become totally self-absorbed like the rest of the world.

Some younger women think that my gentlemanly acts are “really sweet” or worse yet “cute,” while others don’t have a clue of what I’m attempting.

One evening I removed a young lady’s jacket from the closet so that I could hold it for her. Her terse response was, “That’s mine!” as if I’d mistaken her fuzzy Boho

PET OF THE WEEK

Babe jacket for my own.

This did, however, get me thinking – which, I’ve discovered over the years, is often a bad move.

I spent some time at a mall, watching younger persons interacting with each other – or not. I quickly discovered that “or not” was the operative phrase, as I can’t ever remember that many men totally ignoring their female friends; at least not since the last time that I went to a sports bar.

Of course, women can open their own doors, sit in their own chairs, and may have a better sense of balance than I do. Nonetheless, gentleman are not chauvinists, although this has been questioned by my 28 year-old daughter.

When we do a gentlemanly act, it is a mark of respect and we are simply stating that the woman is a lady.

Or is calling any woman a lady today also considered sexist? Since when did equality become a synonym for indifference?

A while back, I held my hand out to a female gym instructor as she climbed up off a mat. Her very negative reaction was both swift and surprising.

And, yes, of course she’s in much better shape than I ever was, but holding one’s hand out is what a gentleman does.

Ladies – err, women – if an older man says “Ladies first” or offers his hand or arm, he is not, by my definition a “dirty old man.” Perhaps he’s just a gentleman.

So, are gentlemen just archaic chauvinists that need to be placed in history museums right between knights and dodo birds?

I would hope not but I have the terrible feeling that the passing of my generation will be the end of us.

Pet Adoptions

CHAZA ID# A161131

Meet Chaz (ID# A161131), a large and very friendly New Zealand white rabbit looking for her forever home.

Chaza is a lovely, sweet and patient bunny who has been a wonderful participant in the Brightening Lives program at the Ottawa Humane Society.

She has been a visitor to seniors’ residences and PD Day camps, getting along well with people of all ages.

Chaza would be a great bunny for a home with children or a dedicated firsttime owner who can give her all the love and attention she deserves.

For more information on Chaza and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane. ca to see photos and descriptions of animals available for adoption.

Hi there! My name is Braveheart. I am a very cute golden doodle. I am almost 2 years old come Jan 17, 2014. I enjoy playing with other dogs at the park. I especially love rolling on fresh snow. But most of all, I love belly rubs and playing tug of war with my Grandpa. I am being trained to be a therapy dog someday.
