Getting down to business in Osgoode Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Members of the business community in Osgoode gathered on Nov. 24 to discuss the newly formed Osgoode Ward Business Association at the Metcalfe Town Hall.

The association still has to elect a board of directors, but they are a non-profit group who have begun to craft objec-

tives through the leadership of local residents.

The association will represent Greely, Kenmore, Manotick East, Metcalfe, Osgoode Village and Vernon, with special representation extending to South Gloucester Industrial Park, Bank Street, and home-based businesses.

More than 100 survival bags expected to go to shelters, homeless on streets Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Last summer, Sonya Schmidt’s children wouldn’t let her pass a person in need on the street without sharing some change or a healthy snack fresh from a grocery shopping excursion in downtown Ottawa.

That was in fair weather, on warm days walking down Bank Street before any hint of snow or frost, and Schmidt realized she would need to do something more rigorous to make a positive impact the lives of Ottawa’s homeless this winter. “(Handing out change) doesn’t seem like a super safe situation and I never know where that money’s going, so I thought ‘You know, what they really need is stuff,’” she said.

“They need a little food, they need a little water; a Tim Hortons gift card. So I thought, why not just come up with a package where I could just have a whole bunch in my car and when we see people in need I can give them some.”

So Schmidt – a kindergarten teacher at Osgoode Public School – worked with some of Ottawa’s front line shelter workers to write a list of the most useful items to donate to the people living on the city’s streets this winter. Then she got her entire school involved.

“Every year I run the food drive here and I thought why not get the whole school on board and make up these survival bags that we could hand out,” she said.

So until Dec. 11, students from each of Osgoode Public School’s 12 classrooms will gather items like heating packets, bottled water and non-perishable snacks, hats, mittens, gloves and socks, grocery and coffee gift cards, first aid supplies, toiletries and more to put into ‘survival bags.’

“I called the Ottawa Mission and they’re more than happy to have all of these items because people come there at night for a night of rest and they could walk away with a bag of supplies.”

Those small plastic bags – each with enough supplies for one person and a handwritten note of encouragement – will end up in shelters across Ottawa, and in the hands of people in need on city streets just in time for Ottawa’s coldest months.

Because she wanted stu-

dents in every grade to understand why they were being encouraged to fill large zip lock bags with socks, snacks and hand sanitizer, Schmidt invited a speaker from the Ottawa Mission to come and address entire school about the reality of homelessness in an assembly.

Her own children’s questions about the nature of homelessness highlighted the need for education and awareness among the students.

“They ask me all the time where these people come from, why they’re there, why they don’t have jobs, and I try to answer these things to the best of my ability, but it’s complicated,” Schmidt said.

Since the drive began in November, she said, the response from the school’s students and their parents has been spirited and compassionate. She estimates that at least 150 to 200 bags will have been assembled by Dec. 11.

“It’s been overwhelming, the amount of goods that has come in,” she said.

“What’s so exciting to me is that this is all coming true. It was just a thought I had in the summer and I’m just overwhelmed with their generosity. The kids really listened, they zoned into everything we said, and they’re coming up to me so excited about what they’re doing. It’s really exciting.”

Christmas is returning to rural south Ottawa in a big way on the weekend of Dec. 5 and 6, with communitywide celebrations planned in Manotick and Osgoode.

Organizers in the two villages have been hard at work to make sure there will be lots of opportunities for kids to meet Santa, and hot chocolate, roasted chestnuts and other wintry treats will be abundant for those who know where to find them.

Parades, parties, carollers and sleigh rides are only days away, and Santa will be working hard to make appearances in both villages throughout the weekend.

Parade watchers can warm themselves immediately after the parade by heading to Manotick United Church for a family Christmas party featuring games and crafts.

At 2 p.m., the Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys will perform a Christmas Concert at St. James Anglican Church to raise funds for the church’s refugee sponsorship program, bringing the festivities to a close for the day.

Christmas mirth will greet the village bright and early on Dec. 6 with a breakfast featuring special guests Father and Mary Christmas at The Mill Tavern.

Anyone who missed their chance to peruse the crafter’s market on Saturday can head to Watson’s Mill at 10 a.m. on Sunday for a second chance at shopping.

Manotick will be alive with Christmas cheer that afternoon, with The Gingerbread Man on Tighe Street giving away gingerbread cookies, the strolling carollers making their way through the village, free hot chocolate, apple cider and roasted chestnuts at the Mews of Manotick and on Main Street, and horse drawn wagon rides carrying passengers through the village, all starting at noon.

Christmas in the village

While Manotick is basking in a pre-Christmas glow on Dec. 5, Osgoode Village residents will have their own yuletide celebration, with a host of wintry events to choose from.

Organizers say this year’s event will offer more than the usual entertainment, with a number of free festive activities planned for the afternoon.

Christmas in the Village will kick off with the annual tradition of breakfast with Santa and a silent auction at the Osgoode Community Centre from 7 to 11 a.m..

After Santa and his fans have had their fill of pancakes at the community center, the Santa Claus Parade will make its way down Osgoode Main Street from Nixon Street at 11:30 a.m., with Santa’s helpers collecting letters to Santa along the way, and the big man himself bringing up the rear.

Parade goers are encouraged to bring canned goods for the Fill a Truck challenge.

The parade will end at the Foodland parking lot, at 5669 Osgoode Main St., at which point a host of free family friendly winter activities – new this year – will begin.

At the community centre and around Osgoode, organizers of Christmas in the Village have planned food trucks, a bonfire, wagon rides, carolling and entertainment, children’s crafts, a tree lighting ceremony and village-wide lighting contest, a pie bake-off and more.

With the kids tired out from a day of Christmas fun indoors and outside, a holiday dance at the legion with music by Bobby B Productions will cap off the day for adults.

Tickets will be available at the door for $10.

Manotick diners chow down for a better arena mdelaire@metroland.com

More than 100 people in Manotick ate spaghetti for a good cause during a fundraiser organized jointly by the Youth of Manotick Association and Rural Ottawa South Support Services on Nov. 14.

The well-attended spaghetti fundraiser at the Manotick legion raised more than $1,363 for the village’s arena and community space expansion project, which is estimated to cost $1.7 million total.

Mayor Jim Watson and Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt were among the almost 200 diners who turned out to show their support. Players from the Minor Atom Romans hockey team and their parents also came out to roll napkins and prepare place settings for diners before twirling their forks in spaghetti prepared by youth volunteers from YOMA

Volunteers from the Youth of Manotick Association, Rural Ottawa South Support Services and the Minor Atom Romans hockey team were at the Manotick legion on Nov. 14 serving up spaghetti to raise funds for the long awaited Manotick arena and community centre expansion. youth and the seniors working together, which is a big part of YOMA: reaching out to others in the community.”

Both YOMA and ROSSS stand to benefit from the retrofit project, which will allow them to access new storage space within the

and senior volunteers from ROSSS. “We’ve never actually volunteered with the two groups together. This was the first time we had worked together and it was nice,” said YOMA’s board president Janice Domaratzki. “It shows the community the

building’s meeting room.

That will make it easier for the groups to carry out their programming, which includes YOMA’s Friday night youth drop-in program.

“Right now our facilitators drag plastic bins from their cars up the stairs full of ping pong rackets and board games,” said Domaratzki.

“So this will allow us to have storage on the second floor and it will allow us to have more permanence.”

The event was the latest effort in a community wide campaign to raise $250,000 for the project. In addition to adding storage and meeting rooms to the building’s second floor, the expansion will double the size of the arena’s four notoriously small change rooms, allowing players to change without taking turns using the rooms.

Manotick residents and volunteers have worked since 2014 to fund the expansion and had raised

Community Organization – feels that it’s valuable for residents to take ownership of some of the fund raising efforts.

“It’s an effort that’s indicative of this community,” she said. “It amazes me how we all work together. I think it’s good for the community to see different groups working together and I think it’s fantastic for our youth to be a part of that. The youth really enjoyed the evening.”

$215,000 toward the project as of September. In July, Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre announced that the federal government would fund half of the cost of the renewal project, for up to $880,000. The city of Ottawa has pledged to cover the rest.

New findings into Duchenne muscular dystrophy offer hope Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The discovery by Ottawa researchers that a lethal form of muscular dystrophy is, in fact, a stem cell disease could one day lead to more effective treatments.

“It’s a paradigm shift in our understanding of the disease,” said Michael Rudnicki, senior author of a study published on Nov. 16 in Nature Medicine, a journal that features advances in biomedical research.

Prior to his team’s eureka moment about two years ago – which needed to be successfully and repeatedly tested before it could be published – the muscle weakness associated with Duchenne’s was once blamed on problems in the body’s muscle fibres.

In fact, the culprits are also defects in the way muscle stem cells function, repairing muscles damaged through regular injury and exercise. esearchers discovered these stem cells express the dystrophin protein. Without this, fewer muscle precursor cells are produced, meaning fewer working muscle fibres are generated, affecting mobility.

Their work also revealed this protein allows these stem cells to orient themselves in nearby tissue, preventing them from making more stem cells or form new muscle fibres.

The study research team, which included Ottawa Hospital and University of Ottawa scientists, graduates and post-doctoral fellows, are now looking at ways of restoring this cell function, and have already identified a muscle-repairing protein that can do this.

Manotick resident Debra Chiabai has hope these answers could one day translate into more effective treatments for Duchenne patients, who, like her 15-yearold son, Alex, currently rely on physical therapy and steroids.

The condition, the most common form of muscular dystrophy, affects about one in 3,600 boys. In Ottawa, there are about 50 males with the condition.

“It’s a lethal disease so

they’re in a wheelchair by age 10 on average and with the very best medical care they can make it out to age 30,” Rudnicki said, adding that death is usually caused by respiratory or cardiac failure.

Duchenne stole Alex’s ability to walk a year and a half ago, but the study offers new hope. “If you don’t have (hope), you don’t have anything. It’d be too hard to get up in the morning,” Chiabai said.

The new findings suggest that current experimental gene therapies need to be rethought, said Rudnicki, director of the regenerative medicine program and the Sprott Centre for Stem Cell Research at the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus. He is also a University of Ottawa professor.

“Realistically, we’re two years away from a clinical trial if we had the money to get there,” he said.

While there is still much work to be done, the team has already identified some drug candidates in the lab and are developing a system to screen large libraries of existing medications that could be used to better treat patients.

“Bringing a new small drug to the market can take 20 years and $20 million, so another strategy is to repurpose existing drugs that would go much faster,” Rudnicki said, adding that this would still require clinical trials.

Chiabai recognizes that there is still a long ways to go before treatment advancements are realized.

“This isn’t going to be ‘take a pill, cure the disease,’” she said. “This is going to be a cocktail of drugs addressing different parts of the problem.”

Alex was first diagnosed at age two and a half. Today, he takes steroids to deal with the damage to his muscles when the cell fibres break down.

He also goes for routine muscular and endocrinology assessments every three or four months at CHEO, where a multi-disciplinary team checks to see if his legs and tendons are start-

ing to contract, to ensure his heart is still healthy, how his muscles are doing and whether he is still breathing effectively.

In 2011, the Grade 9 St. Mark Catholic High School student began receiving weekly injections of a drug as part of a clinical trial that aims to restore the missing protein in his muscle fibre cells.

The drug has made a subtle difference.

“It’s not a miracle,” Chiabai said. “Certainly, he’s not declining at the rate he was.”

He stopped receiving the injections for just over a year, up until last February, while study data was being reassessed.

“During the time that the study was halted, he actually stopped walking, and since he’s been back on the drug he’s been very stable,” Chiabai said, adding Alex has since become reliant on a stand-up wheelchair to remain mobile. When Chiabai learned of Rudnicki’s research findings, she was surprised that such indepth research into Duchenne was happening right here in Ottawa.

“Until we really understand the whole disorder and all of the impacts, they can’t really target research and treatments and trials to ensure all of the problem is solved,” Chiabai said.

With Duchenne, time is of the essence.

“A cure’s not the be all or end all,” she said. “We just want to slow things down.

Give us more time.”

HOW TO HELP

Chiabai, a director with the Ottawa chapter of Muscular Dystrophy Canada, and her family will be selling Christmas ornaments in Manotick at Robinson’s Your Independent Grocery, at 1160 Beaverwood Rd., the weekend of the Manotick Christmas parade on Dec. 4, 5 and 6.

A portion of the proceeds raised will stay in Ottawa, helping local families affected by muscular dystrophy pay for such things as equipment purchases.

High standards are a good thing As they continue to look for ways to pinch pennies over at city hall, the latest city auditor general report has been unveiled and it suggests the city could bank some cash by changing the way it goes about clearing snow and maintaining roads during the winter.

It seems, according to auditor general Ken Hughes, that the city has set higher standards for snow clearing than the province, and that if the city were to change its standards, significant savings can be had.

By changing its standards, what is meant is, of course, lowering those standards.

Basically Hughes’ report says that the city should look at how much money it could save by bringing Ottawa’s winter maintenance standards closer to the provincial standards.

According to the auditor general, there isn’t any data available to show how much more the city is spending to maintain roads at a higher standard than the province deems necessary.

The issue of winter road maintenance and snow clearing was already on the city’s radar before the auditor general’s report last week, as it has contracted consultant KPMG to review the municipality’s winter maintenance program. It is

expected that there will be a report going forward to city council next spring as a result of that review. The provincial standard for clearing residential roads at this time is to have the work done within a 16-to 20-hour window, as compared to the city’s standard of 10 hours. There is also a difference of about two hours when it comes to busier streets, with again, the city being quicker to get to work than the province.

Examining ways that the city can save money in how it goes about its business is always a good exercise to undertake, but that doesn’t mean that every possible saving is necessarily a good idea.

Is it really a bad thing that the city has higher standards for road maintenance and snow removal during the winter months? Snow removal and road maintenance are, at the end of the day, a safety issue. Should the city really be contemplating lower standards than it has just because others have lower standards?

Saving money when it makes sense to do so is always good idea. Saving money at the expense of public safety is something else entirely.

Perhaps it is the province that has the wrong standards for winter road maintenance, and not the city.

War Museum serves important role

It was the War Museum and we explained to them about the morse code on the roof that says Lest We Forget, and the spot where the light hits at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month on the headstone of the Unknown Soldier, and then we said, you’ve got to see it.

The more familiar you become with the museum, the more you realize how multi-faceted it is. While critics feared a war museum might glorify war, this one does not. Yes, there is recognition of important victories that were won. Yes, there is praise for heroic Canadians. What should be celebrated is.

But there are also constant and vivid reminders of how horrible war is, how miserable were the trenches in the First World War, how cold and wet and dangerous and souldestroying the whole thing could be.

Also, how unreliable was the equipment and how questionable was the judgment of some generals and politicians.

preciate about the War Museum is the way it takes time away from the battlefield to show what is happening back in Canada. War demanded sacrifice at home as well, and it created terrible hardships for those who stayed. It wasn’t all just parades.

I saw some young children going through the museum and wondered about that, about what is the proper age for kids to learn about war and how young is too young. At some stage, for sure, young people need to know, both to take pride in their country’s accomplishments and to understand the causes and consequences of war.

In that respect, I wondered a bit about the admission fees. It’s not that the visitor doesn’t get his money’s worth. But a $15 charge for an individual or a $36 charge for a family could be a little steep for some.

to put more money into culture and the arts. Our capital’s major museums — War, Nature, History and the National Gallery — are all attractive and compelling. It would be nice if they could be self-supporting. But it is more important that the museums are visited by as many Canadians as possible.

Metcalfe dancers earn roles in NAC show with fancy footwork Step dancing skills land two girls in cast of Anne and Gilbert: the Musical Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

For two Metcalfe girls with only a little acting experience, the journey to the stage at the National Arts Centre seems as easy as a hop, skip and a jump.

From Dec. 1 to 19, Kelsey Warren and Mikayla Wills, both dancers and Castor Valley Elementary School students, will demonstrate their years of step dance training in front of audiences as part of the NAC’s production of Anne and Gilbert: the Musical.

“The NAC was looking for kids who step dance or highland dance and sing,” said Kelsey’s mother, Karen Warren.

The production is based on Lucy Maud Montgomery’s books about the feisty redhead Anne Shirley, also known affectionately as Anne of Green Gables.

In Anne and Gilbert, Anne is a self-sufficient young woman starting her first teaching job in a one-room schoolhouse on Prince Edward Island amid unfolding romantic complications with her childhood sweetheart Gilbert Blythe.

NAC a gateway

Anne’s six students are played by 12 Ottawa youth who take turns strutting their stuff in alternating performances. NAC spokesman Sean Fitzpatrick said that for young actors, singers and dancers, roles in the theatre’s holiday productions can serve as a gateway to future stage work.

“Two of the young children in Anne and Gilbert were in our production of Sound of Music two years ago,” he said. “Sometimes young actors come back to the NAC, and sometimes their experience takes them into another field, like dance instead of theatre.”

Stepping it up

For Kelsey, 9, and Mikayla, 13, their role in the production as members of a schoolgirl chorus means putting their dancing skills to the test in a new way while immersing themselves in the world of acting.

Step dancing – a traditional footwork-heavy style of dance – is a staple of Anne and Gilbert, though the style of dance featured

Submitted

Kelsey Warren, 9, danced her way into the cast of Anne and Gilbert: the Musical, playing at the National Arts Centre from Dec. 1 to 9. in the production is a somewhat different from the style that the girls have learned.

“There are different styles of step dancing and the one that Kelsey does is called Ottawa Valley step dancing,” Karen Warren said.

“The one they’re learning now is more of a down east style.”

Kelsey

Kelsey is a fourth grade student at Castor Valley, who has practiced step dancing for as long as she’s been in the public education system.

Although shy and soft-spoken, dancing in competitions for years has acclimatized her to performing in public.

She won the nine-and-under category of the Pembroke Old Time Fiddle and Dance Championships in both 2014 and 2015, and those same years her dance team, The Cookie Cutters won in the 12-andunder category.

Her successful audition for Anne and Gilbert was even more of a surprise for Kelsey’s classmates than it was for her.

She said she mostly kept the news of her role to herself throughout rehearsals, and the students in her class weren’t made aware of her part in the play until their teacher told them they’d all be going to the NAC to see her perform.

“My class is going t­oo,” she said.

“It’s exciting and I think they’ll like it.”

Mikayla

When Mikayla learned from a family friend last spring that the NAC was holding a casting call for one of its holiday productions, she decided she would audition just for

the experience.

During her seven years step dancing Mikayla has travelled across Ontario for competitions in places like London, Dorchester and Bobcaygeon, and is well acquainted with stages of all sizes.

Confident and outgoing though she is, she did not expect to get a part in the musical.

So when the eighth grade Castor Valley student was offered the roles of both a schoolgirl and a university student in Anne and Gilbert, she was equal parts surprised and delighted.

“I thought I’d audition just for the experience and put in a resume, and then I made it in,” Mikayla said. “I was very surprised. But I was also very excited and happy when I heard that I got in. It was a good day.”

Although she has visited NAC as an audience member, being part of the action behind the scenes and working in areas of the arts centre that are off limits to the public is novel and exciting for the initiate NAC performer.

“It’s really cool,” she said. “You get to see how things work, and it’s just cool to see how a play is put together from that point of view.”

But perhaps the biggest source of excitement was the subject of the musical itself. Mikayla said that she wasn’t told what play she was auditioning for until she was offered a part. When she learned that she’d be entering the world of Avonlea on stage in Ottawa, she was ecstatic.

“I always loved the story of Anne of Green Gables, but when I auditioned for it I didn’t know it was going to be Anne and Gilbert, so when I figured it out I was excited,” Mikayla said.

“She was just jumping for joy all around the house for days,” added her mother, Lauriel Wills.

“We couldn’t believe it. It was definitely something she had dreamed about.”

Back to Avonlea

In fact, for both Kelsey and Mikayla, the setting of Anne and Gilbert holds some special significance, since both girls have read Anne of Green Gables and have been to Avonlea Village.

Kelsey visited the village during a stop in Prince Edward Island as part of a trip to Nova Scotia in 2013 for the Maritime Fiddle Festival. For Mikayla, spending at least one day at Avonlea is a mandatory part of family vacations to Atlantic Canada, something the family has done several times.

“This little one, she would go to the village and we would follow the actors around,” said Wills.

“And you get two days with admission, so every time she’d beg to go the second day. She definitely has always had a tie to Anne of Green Gables so it’s amazing that she’s doing this.”

For both girls, and for many youth who have read the books and joined the cast of Anne and Gilbert, appearing in the musical is not only a potential way to advance their acting, singing or dancing careers, but a way to bring the story of Anne Shirley to life.

“It feels exciting,” Kelsey said.

“When everyone is wearing their costumes, it feels like you’re in the story.”

City of Ottawa Notice of Proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments Flood Plains In accordance with the Planning Act and Section 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa, notice is hereby provided that amendments are proposed to update the flood plain policies and mapping in the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. This is the first of a series of amendments in a multi-year program to implement updated flood plain mapping received from the Conservation Authorities.

The City of Ottawa partnered with the three Conservation Authorities having jurisdiction in the city, the Mississippi Valley, Rideau Valley and South Nation Conservation Authorities, to update the flood plain mapping in the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The updated mapping is based on the most accurate information available regarding the elevation of lands adjacent to watercourses.

Amendments are proposed to the flood plain policies in Section 4.8.1 of the Official Plan to distinguish between two-zone policy areas and areas of reduced risk. Further amendments are proposed relating to requirements to update Schedule K of the Official Plan each time the Zoning By-law is amended.

A detailed map showing the current boundaries and proposed boundaries of the flood plain overlay in the Zoning By-law is available by going to ottawa.ca/floodplain.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

An Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment report is anticipated to go to Planning Committee, Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee and City Council in April 2016.

For further information or to receive notice of the dates of the meetings of Committee and Council please contact the undersigned planner. You may also forward comments to same via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by January 4, 2016.

Dated at Ottawa this 3rd day of December 2015.

The Project The City of Ottawa is developing a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing Light Rail Transit network. Specifically the plan includes extending the future Confederation Line farther east from Blair Station to an interim terminal at Place d’Orléans station and ultimately, to Trim Road.

The plan includes options to service the community of Orléans and adjacent lands. New stations will be located at Montreal Road, Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard, Orléans Boulevard and the terminal station at Place d’Orléans. Additional stations will ultimately be constructed at Brisebois Cresent/Mockingbird Drive (Orléans Town Centre), Tenth Line Road and the terminus of the line at Trim Road.

The Process Planning efforts have been completed and the City is now formalizing the environmental assessment component in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be prepared to document the study process, a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, as well as the project’s consultation program.

The Ottawa police department’s name has been used in the past by fraudsters to try to solicit cash.

“We’ve seen it in the past and it’s always at the same time of the year,” Soucy said.Officers with the police organized fraud unit urges anyone who has fallen prey to this scam to contact them and file a report.

COMMUNITY news

Ottawa police do not want your money.

The department has issued a warning about a recent scam in which callers say they are raising money on behalf of the Ottawa Police Service and ask for credit card numbers.

“The Ottawa police would like to remind the public that we do not solicit donations from the public,” the service said in a statement on Nov. 24.

“For any company, it’s very rare that they (fundraise) by phone, and if you’re not sure just visit the website or call that organization … to verify,” said Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman.

“We would advise not to

callers.

Soucy said he was not aware of any recent cases in which people turned over their credit card numbers and were bilked of their money.

People are encouraged to be vigilant in resisting the fraudsters, who often engage in high-pressure tactics, Soucy said.

“The more they keep you on the line, the more chances they have to get your information and then get some money out of you,” he said.

“These people need to be caught.”

Scams of this kind are not new during the holiday season.

“You get more scams at this time of year because everybody wants to raise money for so-called charities that help benefit the less

Charity honours those who have made a difference in young people’s lives Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The Ottawa Child and Youth Initiative honoured those who help make growing up great at its fifth annual award ceremony on Nov. 23.

The initiative, which works with 80 partner agencies and charities to co-ordinate services for the city’s youth, issues a call for nominations each year to honour those who excel in the field.

“Our goal is to get together with organizations that have a common interest and help to build capacity for new programs and services,” said Marisa Moher, associate director of the Ottawa Child and Youth Initiative.

The initiative works with organizations such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Ontario Early Years centres, the Boys and Girls Club and the Youth Services Bureau.

“We work together on training and access to resources,” Moher said.

Barb MacKinnon, executive director of the Ottawa Children’s Aid Society, said the common goal of all the partner organizations is to foster healthy development for youth of Ottawa.

“We have to make sure the service delivery meets the intent of why we are doing it,” she said, adding it is also important to raise awareness about what services are out there.There were eight award recipients at the annual luncheon.

Carley Scharf, who works with the Osgoode Youth Association, was given the Engaged and Active Award.

Scharf organized a municipal all-candidates meeting just for youth, to introduce them to the 11 candidates running in Osgoode Ward in 2014 and to explain the electoral process.

Since she has worked with the association, youth participation has increased 400 per cent, said United Way CEO Michael Allen, who presented Scharf with her

award. There has also been a 150 per cent increase in volunteers.

But Scharf doesn’t do it for the awards.

“I am greatly humbled by the recognition,” she said.

Divya Massilamani was honoured in the Learning and Discovering category for her implementation of a homework club at Carine Wilson Public School.

“We really got nominations from all walks of life,” Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland Moher said.

Carley Scharf, a community developer with the Osgoode Youth Association, accepts her Other recipients include: award in the engaged and active category at the fifth annual Growing Up Great Award * Safe and Supported – ceremony at the Centurion Conference Centre on Nov. 23. the Queerios * Healthy and Thriving – The Waupoos Foundation * Community Leadership – Community – Zijad Delic Community Leadership – Organization – Franc-Succes Avec Centre des services communautaires Vanier (CSVC) * Community Leadership - Individual – Nancy MacNider * Dr. Dan Offord Excellence Award – Dan Rees

Shatner delves into smoked meat, memories of Ottawa Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

William Shatner sits on a plush couch wearing a black leather jacket before a table with Montreal smoked meat and bagels – and a crowd of about 300 people.

The Montreal-born actor, best known for starring in the original Star Trek TV series and movies, is just off a plane from Toronto and has been up since 3 a.m. the night before.

His memories of the three years he spent in Ottawa come flooding back.

Shatner recalls walking back and forth 10 blocks along Rideau Street to morning rehearsals for his first paid acting gig at the Canadian Repertory Theatre.

It was his first time living on his own away from family after he graduated from McGill University in 1951.

“I may have helped build

the Peace Tower,” quips the star, who turns 85 in March.

Laughter erupts from the crowd of about 300 during an intimate talk and question-and-answer session at the EY Centre on Nov. 20.

His arrival was a special addition the evening before the two-day Pop Expo Ottawa was to take over the conference centre for its annual celebration of everything science fiction and fantasy, from movies and TV shows to comics and collectible toys.

Ottawa was Shatner’s first home as a starving actor, the place where he lived on lunches of toasted cheese sandwiches at Murray’s.

“I’m almost weeping. I’m moved by being back in Ottawa,” he says. Shatner says several great actors emerged out of that theatre, including Toronto-born actor Christopher Plummer. Shatner once served as Plummer’s Henry IV understudy at the

Stratford Festival Theatre, where the actors spent their summers when they weren’t in Ottawa.

“The (Ottawa theatre) paid me enough money to do my laundry. But if I wanted to go to a movie or do anything else I would have to turn down the meal.

I starved,” he says. “I was the starving actor in Ottawa. My room had a rope mattress.”

But through the experience he was able to follow in the footsteps of some legendary Canadian performers. Canada, he says, “has given the world great art, writers, cinematographers, actors, painters.”

With a “great new prime minister – Trudeau is back – you’ve got a Kennedy here” Canada is the land of the future and though already a great nation, it is on the crest of being one of the greatest, insists Shatner.

“And it’s these great art-

Montreal-born actor William Shatner speaks to a crowd of about 300 people at the EY Centre on Nov. 20. ists who are leading the way.

Everything is pointing to us.

“So smoked meat and Ottawa are intrinsically linked about why I think of my past and what I think of the future of Canada.”

TOO SHORT TO BE A STORMTROOPER

Findlay Creek resident Lee Barnett was the first person at the mic to ask Shatner about his appearance on the County Music Association Awards stage in Nashville earlier this month dressed as a Star Wars stormtrooper – a complete surprise to the audience. “‘He looks a little short to be a stormtrooper,’” Barnett recalls of his wife’s reaction, referencing a famous Star Wars line. “And all of a sudden the helmet comes off and it’s William Shatner.” I have a wonderful story,” Shatner replies around a mouthful of smoked meat.

Everyone laughs. Shatner has already been tell-

ing a plethora of stories on salmon farming, where he gets his energy, the rebooted Star Trek movies, global warming and riding horses, the influence of celebrity, Greenpeace, directing Star Trek episodes and reluctantly coming to grips with his age “because I’m going to die soon,” he says, before making everyone laugh with: “We can analyze the word ‘soon.’” Barnett, who has become a fixture at Pop Expo and Ottawa Comiccon, says he’s in no rush for an answer, clearly relishing chatting with the star.

Shatner says his appearance was the result of a trade he made with country singer Brad Paisley.

His phone rings, he recalls. It’s Paisley wanting him to fill in for a sketch at the awards on short notice. “‘Bill, we have Donald Trump in the sketch and the head of ABC said (we) can’t use it because (Trump’s) going to be on Saturday Night Live and it’s going to be too

much publicity for a Republican nominee,’” Shatner says. “‘So Bill, if I send my private jet Wednesday morning can you be here Wednesday night to go on and take Trump’s place?’

“I now have Brad Paisley in my pocket,” Shatner tells his fans, who laugh.

He has been looking for “western stars” willing to appear at his annual horse show, which raises funds for physically-challenged kids.

Paisley has taken part before and now this trade of favours means Shatner can ask him to enlist his famous friends to get involved.

Barnett steps away from the mic, clearly pleased.

“He gave us a great answer on how it came together because everybody’s always tried to get him to talk Star Wars and be a part of something Star Wars,” Barnett says. “And for him to actually come out and surprise everybody with something that nobody knew is quite interesting”.

United Way plans to invest in all that kids can be Ottawa charity looks for proposals for 2015-16 campaign The United Way of Ottawa is betting on our future.

The local charity is focusing its annual fundraising campaign on all that kids can be.

The call for proposals opened on Nov. 9 and will continue until Dec. 4.

Carole Gagnon, the vicepresident of community impact, said this year’s theme has two areas of focus: school readiness and critical hours.

School readiness speaks to anything from prenatal care to speech development.

“We are looking for programs for parents or caregivers that will support physical well-being as well as social development, language and literacy,” Gagnon said. “Also skill development through play.”

Gagnon said school read-

iness really attempts to work with kids up to age four, while the critical hours focus will work with kids from age six to 18.

“That really implies anything outside school hours,” Gagnon said, adding it could mean mentorship programs, homework clubs, or social and recreational programs.

“We usually get asked for the equivalent of triple the amount of money we take in.”

Carole Gagnon, vice-president of community impact, United Way of Ottawa

United Way launched their annual $16-million campaign on Sept. 15 and will raise funds until the end of March.

She said typically the charity gets a lot of requests for funding.

“We usually get asked for the equivalent of triple the amount of money we take

in,” she said, adding it can be tough to choose.

Last year, the organization funded 44 new organizations and continued the multi-year funding for 66 programs it had already committed to – meaning they were a funding partner for 100 organizations across the city.

The selection process relies on dozens of volunteers who serve on the selection committee and are subject experts. “We have teachers, people from the community, people from all walks of life, who help make the decision,” she said. The annual campaign pledges to change the lives of 57,200 people – no small feat when the economy is slow and a dollar has to stretch further, Gagnon said.

“Thankfully we are on track with the same time last year,” she said, adding Ottawans are very generous.

Gagnon said this year’s focus is important because children are the future.

“It’s all about giving kids the best start possible,” she said.

Healthy Sleeping Habits The first few years of a child’s life are perhaps the most important in terms of growth and development and it’s natural for parents to worry about whether their child is achieving important milestones in a timely manner.

By encouraging good habits from the very beginning, parents can make sure their child is off to the best start possible.

Instilling good sleep habits at an early age is very important. Research shows that inadequate sleep can affect your child’s mood and behaviours, their eating habits, and their ability to concentrate in school. A few common problems that parents encounter with their children are inadequate sleep, resistance to sleeping and frequently waking up at night.

On average, toddlers should get 10 to 13 hours of sleep every night and preschoolers should get 10 to 12 hours.Make sure your little one’s bed time and the time they wake up in the morning is consistent and maintained everyday whether it is a school day or the weekend.

Consider adding an hour of quiet time before bedtime and include quiet and relaxing activities such as reading or taking a bath. Activities such as playing video games or watching TV should be avoided during this time.

Early Literacy

From birth until five years of age, children’s psychological development changes rapidly. The way a child interacts with their parent is perhaps the most important way in which they learn about the world around them.

Research shows that reading to your child and encouraging them to read at an early age helps prepare them for school and improves their future academic career. Activities such as singing to your child and engaging them in conversations are also a great way to improve their vocabulary.

According to Dr. Alyson Shaw, a pediatrician at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), “When you read, speak, or sing with your baby or child, you are surrounding them with words and language that are the building blocks of later reading success. Sharing books daily makes routines like mealtime, nap time, and bath time easier. You don’t have to read the books all the way through - just talking about the pictures can be enough. Most importantly, regular story time with a loving adult early in life creates positive bonds that benefit your child’s health throughout their life course.”

CHEO and Ottawa Public Health have teamed up to deliver a series on CTV called Parenting in Ottawa this fall and winter. The topics covered will include common problems faced by parents in Ottawa and will help them make sure kids in our community stay their healthiest.

Tune in to CTV Ottawa’s News at 6 on December 9, 2015 for the second installment which will focus on healthy active living.

Parents can also visit the Parenting in Ottawa Facebook page and have their questions answered by experts on early childhood and a variety of other topics.

OWBA recieves community and government support Continued from the front

A presentation was given by Richard Woods, an Osgoode resident who used to be the director general, advocacy and policy for the federal government’s small business office.

Woods explained the categories of what constitutes micro, small, and medium sized businesses, and broke down the business landscape of Osgoode to the large audience.

“I want you to start imagining what it could be for you and your business,” Woods said.

He said there are some existing groups, but there is a need for an umbrella organization that everyone could be a part of, non-dependent of geographic location inside the ward, business size or industry.

The association will look at the possibility of creating BIAs – which are funded by mandatory taxes for all businesses within a very specific geographic area, such as the Glebe BIA, facilitate business growth, network all levels of business, and promote businesses in the ward.

The idea actually started when volunteers looked into creating a BIA, said volunteer Gerrie Kautz.

After discussions with Coun.

George Darouze, they decided that the association as an umbrella organization would be a more effective way of achieving their goals.

Mayor Jim Watson spoke at the meeting, and said that travel patterns need to be changed to bring more people out to the ward, especially for the 2017 celebrations.

“We have a cranberry farm in

Osgoode – most people don’t know that,” Watson said. “So there are a lot of reasons to come and visit rural Ottawa.”

He was joined by Darouze, MP Pierre Poilievre and MPP Lisa MacLeod at the event for a strong political turnout. All the politicians were in support of what the volunteers want to do with the association.

In the question and answer portion of the event, attendees voiced support for the project.

“The Osgoode Village Community Association is fully behind what you want to do,” said com-

munity association chair Greg Thurlow. “I welcome your input and look forward to participating.”

While there is a group of volunteers who started the association and had it incorporated as a nonprofit, they are still looking for volunteers and need to form a formal executive.

Membership in the OWBA for 2016 will cost $150 for businesses with one to nine employees, $250 for businesses with 10 to 99 employees, and $500 for businesses with 100 and more employees.

We understand that this is a terrific start for these players to be identified within the Ontario and Canadian talent pool. However, we also want to remind all players within our club of the many different avenues towards success in the game – examples like Vana Markarian, who was not recognized for the provincial team until U16 and quickly found his way into the National Team and the Vancouver Whitecaps Academy.

Further to this, we appreciate the hard work of many who were not recognized last year but through dedication and overall progression they are now being noticed. OSU feels this is a real benefit of being part of the OPDL. “Firstly, I would like to congratulate each of the OPDL teams for their successful seasons in 2015. The dedication and commitment from the players, their families and coaching staff is a driving force behind these individuals being recognized for the identification camps. We hope that more players within these teams will be recognized in the future and wish everyone best of luck through the process,” commented Club Technical Director, Paul Harris.

Metcalfe Santa Claus parade grows as more organizers join Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

On Dec. 13, a Santa Claus parade that organizers hope will be even bigger and better than usual will work its way down Victoria Street in Osgoode.

The Metcalfe Santa Claus parade, which begins at 2 p.m. at the intersection of Johannes and Victoria Streets, will feature between 15 and 20 floats, and a number of volunteers from Osgoode Township High School will be on hand to help it all run smoothly.

The owner of Giant Tiger in Blossom Park has signed up to enter a float for the second year, and parade organizer Laurie Ann Holmes expects the Osgoode Carleton Snowmobile Trail Club to impress the crowd once again with its float.

“The snowmobile club members are really creative

with their floats every year,” Holmes said.

“I always like to see what they’ve come up with each year because they go all out. One year it was a Wizard of Oz theme, one year it was Sesame Street, and they get the full costumes.”

Holmes said that with 10 organizers this year com-

The community association has been revitalized, so I have a lot more help Laurie Ann Holmes

pared to the usual two, managing the parade this time has been a little easier for her than in previous years.

She hopes the addition of new organizers will result in improvements to the parade that spectators can see.

“The community association has been revitalized, so I have a lot more help,” Holmes said.

“For many years when the community association was somewhat non-functioning it was myself and one other person organizing the parade. Now we have a lot more people on board and helping out, so this is great. I do expect it to be bigger this year.”

Spectators are encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations which will be delivered to the Osgoode Food Cupboard.

Following the parade, a photo session with Santa Claus, a gingerbread Submitted decorating workshop, hot Local organizations like the Metcalfe Skating Club construct floats – like this one from chocolate and treats will 2014 – that help keep the spirit of the Metcalfe Santa Claus Parade alive each year. be available at the Metcalfe Community Centre.

Ready for baby

I

bought a carton of cream with the expiry date of January 9, 2016. As I read the date I realized by the time this cream expires, my granddaughter will be born.

Baby season is ramping up around here on the Fisher farm.

Saturday was Anastasia’s surprise baby shower. I am truly amazed that we managed to keep it secret all this time. We had a little help, because she was a bit preoccupied.

Earlier in the week, Annie got a call from one of her husband’s friends. They were planning to kidnap him for a Baby Bachelor Party. Apparently this is a thing.

Around 1:30 in the afternoon on the 21st, the Wiggins were sitting in front of the TV, watching an old Anthony Hopkins movie.

They were just getting to the scene of a bear attack

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife when four men, their faces covered, entered the house from four different doors. It was a bit of a shock, but not all that terrifying, because although they were wearing hockey masks, they were also carrying cheerleader pompoms. And one of them was in a Scooby Doo costume. Anastasia, who was in on the whole thing, concentrated on keeping their four hunting dogs from attacking the intruders.

Andrew was manhandled out of the house and into the driveway. Then the men revealed themselves to be his hunting buddies, and his heart rate went back to normal. I was just happy to

hear the whole thing hadn’t gone horribly wrong – the last guy who was kidnapped for his bachelor party was taken naked from the shower. One of his abductors ended up with a broken nose. I think if you’re going to plan this sort of thing, it’s a good idea to have the subject’s partner in on it so they can run interference.

Anastasia made sure Andrew was out of the shower and dressed before zero hour when the kidnappers arrived. And if the partner is pregnant, as in the case of Anastasia, it is more reason to ensure she is in on the game. Otherwise she might panic and go into early la-

bour, and no one wants that to happen.

So Annie had plenty to talk about when I picked her up to take her “boot shopping”. That’s what I told her, anyway. She said she was suspicious about the plan, and wondered if it might be a ruse to get her to her surprise baby shower.

But when I suggested I would make lasagna for dinner and invited her to join us, she was scratching her head again. She didn’t consider lasagna a typical offering for a baby shower.

But she didn’t realize I had about thirty people coming late afternoon, and they would be coming and going to and from work, so I planned a potluck dinner.

Everyone was bringing something. I made lasagna.

People started arriving at the farm at 2:00pm. I took off to get Annie at

2:20. As per the plan, I left my cell phone at home. She was so excited about The Abduction of Andrew, she just kept chattering away and I doubt she even heard me when I said I had to go back home to get my phone before we could go “boot shopping”. She was still re-enacting the events of her afternoon when we pulled into the driveway and she saw the pink balloons the Farmer had tied there. “Oh, Mom!” she said, finally cluing in. There were so many cars, we had to park in the hay field up the drive. She was crying before we even got in the door.

We played a couple of games with our guests, while the little mama sat in her decorated chair of honour and opened her gifts, for two hours straight. It’s a good thing she grabbed a plate of sandwiches and a

glass of punch before she sat down. Many of the things she received were hand made, and some barely-used items were handed down. The Wiggins family is pretty well equipped now, and that baby can come today if she has to (although we hope she doesn’t).

Anastasia was very pleased to discover that there actually was a pan of lasagna at her baby shower.

And I ran out last week to get her a pair of Ugg-style boots for her swollen mama feet, so she had that surprise as well.

Just over a month to go until the due date. Christmas will be the second most important thing happening around here this holiday season.

Herman’s pattern of euchre play remained steady

T

here was nothing old Herman liked more than a good game of euchre. By the time November rolled around, and winter was about to set in, the Saturday night house parties were in full swing. Old Herman

couldn’t be happier.

How people knew where the party was being held, remains a mystery to me to this day. My sister Audrey said Myrtle at Central, not only picked the farm, but would call everyone to invite them, sometimes forgetting

to tell the hosting farmer about it.

At any rate, by this time of year, just about every Saturday night, there was a house party at Northcote, and old Herman was usually the first to arrive. It was expected that everyone would chip in to supply the lunch, which never varied. Eleven quart baskets of sandwiches, a jar or two of homemade pickles, and of course, big slab cakes.

The farm where the party was being held, of course, would have giant pots of tea simmering on the back of the cook stove by the time the neighbours started to arrive.

Old Herman never brought as much as a pickle. Being a bachelor, he wasn’t much of a cook anyway, and, according to my sister Audrey, he wasn’t the cleanest man either. It was probably a blessing he only came for the cards and lunch, and let others worry

“

MARY COOK Memories about the food.

He arrived in his old battered buggy, or a one-seater cutter, depending on the weather, and his nag of a horse, wasn’t in much better shape either. He drove her right up to the backdoor, tossed the reins over whatever happened to be handy, and the horse never moved a muscle all the time Old Herman was in the house playing cards.

For some reason, he was pretty lucky at euchre. Emerson said he wasn’t above cheating a bit if necessary, but no one could catch him at it. Of course, no money changed hands. If that had been the case, someone

would no doubt have kept a closer eye on old Herman.

And how he loved to pound the table. Especially if he euchred someone! He’d bring down his gnarled hand and slap the oil-cloth covered table, and you could hear the kitchen window rattling.

Now, if he was euchred himself, that was a different story. He would get up from the table, glare down at his losing hand, snort, wipe his nose on the cuff of his ragged shirt, and head for the backdoor. There was always someone else ready to take his place, and this routine was so commonplace that the card game

never missed a beat.

But when he came back, he seemed to change a bit. And each time he left the game, went out and came back in, the change was more noticeable. His voice got louder, the pounding got heavier, and by the time the evening was coming to a close, old Herman’s eyes were glazed over. On more than one occasion, he missed the chair and landed splat on the floor.

This routine was so common, no one paid the least bit of attention. And it didn’t matter how under the weather old Herman became, he always managed to tuck away a good portion of the lunch.

When it was time for everyone to head home, old Herman would loiter long enough knowing that he would be taking home a good pile of sandwiches and a piece of the cake.

The evening wasn’t over until two or three of the men would help old Herman out to the cutter, or the buggy, pile him in, toss the reins onto his lap, and turn the horse in the general direction of the gate. It would be years before I would learn that old Herman kept a bottle of home-brew under the seat and every time he left the house during a card game, it was to take a swig, and as Father would say, “fortify himself for the rest of the evening.”

It always amazed me how that old nag of a horse, with Old Herman snoring before it left our yard, would know exactly where home was. Father said the night air would waken the old man enough that he would tumble out of the buggy or cutter and into his hut of a house, saving himself from freezing to death in his own backyard. He never came to a bad end, and was always the first to arrive at the next Saturday night house party!

German honey gingerbread cookies Earn Extra Money!

Lebkuchen is a light gingerbread, often cut in heart shapes, decorated and sold in German markets during holiday time.

Here’s a simplified version to cut in any shape you like and they’ll keep well for weeks.

Preparation Time

• 30 minutes • Chilling Time: 12 hours • Baking Time: eight minutes per batch • Makes about two dozen cookies Ingredients

• 1-3/4 cups (325 mL) all-purpose flour • 2 tsp (10 mL) ground ginger •1 tsp (5 mL) ground cinnamon • ½ tsp (2 mL) each ground nutmeg, allspice, salt and baking powder • ½ cup (125 mL) lightly packed brown sugar • ½ cup (125 mL) honey • ¼ cup (50 mL) melted butter

• 1 Ontario Egg • ½ tsp (2 mL) vanilla • Icing and small candies (optional) Preparation

In large bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and baking powder. Make well in centre; set aside.

In medium bowl, combine sugar, honey, butter, egg and vanilla. With wooden spoon or electric mixer, beat until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes.

Pour into flour mixture; stir just until evenly moist.

Knead dough with floured hands; until smooth.

On floured work surface, with floured hands divide dough in half; shape into thick discs and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 12 hours or until firm.

On floured work surface, with floured rolling pin, roll out discs one at a time to ¼-inch (0.5 cm) thick-

ness. If it becomes sticky, dust with flour.

Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

Bake in 325°F (160°C) oven until bottoms are golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer to wire rack; let cool.

Repeat with remaining dough. Once cool, decorate with different colours of icing as well as small candies, as desired.

Store cookies in an airtight container in a cool place up to a month.

Watson said city will welcome refugees “The waiting list for social housing in the city is 9,000 people long.”

Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa is ready to welcome anywhere from 800 to 2,000 refugees in two weeks time, said Mayor Jim Watson on Nov. 26.

Watson said the city has been in talks with private landlords and had been looking at

concrete plans without a definitive number from the federal government, adding that money from higher levels of government will be important to pay the market rents.

Watson ruled out social housing as anything but a very temporary solution.

“The waiting list for social housing in the city is 9,000

Mayor Watson

some cabins in Kanata and the Uplands military base as temporary housing solutions.

He said it’s tough to make

people long,” he said, adding that refugees would be eligible to be added to the list.

Watson said he would meet with the Refugee 613 co-ordinating group next week.

The mayor will host a forum at city hall on Dec.1 at 5 p.m.to bring together residents and community groups who wish to help with resettlement.

Breast cancer survivor pays it forward urges women to undergo screening Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Week In Review Osgoode Ward Business Association (OWBA) had their inaugural meeting at Metcalfe Town Hall this past week, that saw over 80 people in attendance. Businesses from all parts of the Ward came out to hear the presentation and understand what the goals and objectives are for this new non-profit organization. It is essentially an umbrella organization that will help network and promote growth for local businesses within our Ward. All businesses can benefit through OWBA, from home- based businesses all the way up to large businesses, commercial, agri-food or industrial. As of now, the next meeting will be in late January where an elected executive will represent this new group. Learn more about OWBA at www.owba.ca, or from their Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Breast cancer survivor and Crystal Beach resident Geety MacLean, left, with Dr. Jean Seely, the Ottawa Hospital’s physician lead for the regional breast screening program, stand beside a mammography machine at the Civic campus-based Women’s Breast Health Centre. Seely says screening rates remain too low, particularly for immigrant women.

Seely, the Ottawa Hospital’s physician lead for the regional breast screening program.

She is also involved in the creation of a new Women’s Breast Health Centre at the General campus’ Cancer Centre, which will, once open by the end of 2016, consolidate screening and diagnostic services to serve more patients.

The Riverside clinic was also a way to improve access for new immigrants since studies show just 50 per cent are screened, though the target is 80 to 90 per cent.

“New immigrants fear the word ‘cancer,’” said Seely, who was involved in MacLean’s breast cancer diagnosis. “They think if you get cancer it might be a death sentence.”

“We are so much further ahead by early detection that it doesn’t have to be that terrible outcome that they expect or think of it.”

That’s why more clinics will be held in the future, and efforts are being made to reach out to different ethnic communities through church groups, health centres and outreach programs to encourage them to be screened together.

MacLean said growing up

in Iran, cancer wasn’t talked about. And when she told her parents by phone about her diagnosis the day before her surgery, it was a very low point.

“To them, they thought I was going to die,” she said.

Following the surgery, doctors determined MacLean’s cancer had, in fact, spread to her lymph nodes.

“Now you have to go through chemo, radiation ... and a slew of tests,” said MacLean, who remained positive, vowing to be strong for her children.

“I never said, why me? I always said thank God that I had a guardian angel – that girl at work who sent me that email, and my family doctor who actually said let’s do a baseline (mammogram),” she said.

Early diagnosis saves lives, said Seely.

“Your long-term survival is almost 95 per cent. It’s very, very good.”

Women ages 40 to 50, the age range when 20 per cent of breast cancers will appear, can get a mammogram done at a qualified breast centre.

“Every decade is another

20 to 25 per cent,” Seely said.

“You can’t say wait for risk factors because 80 per cent of women have no risk factors.”

And just one per cent of the population has a strong family history of breast cancer.

Alicia St. Hill Nasser, manager of the Champlain Regional Cancer Program’s Integrated Cancer Screening program, said mammograms are a 10-minute test that can help save women’s lives.

“We know that there are many women who still aren’t being screened,” said St. Hill Nasser, who is based at the Hampton Park Breast Screening Centre, at Carling and Kirkwood avenues, and was also involved in the one-day public screening clinic.

Women ages 50 to 55 are the most under-screened.

“Cancers can be very slowgrowing and detecting them early increases your chances of surviving many-fold,” she said.

“Mammograms can find tumours much smaller than half a centimetre. Do it for your peace of mind, but do it to detect cancer early, too.”

If you ever wanted to experience Taiwan, TNT food market on Hunt Club was the place to be this week. They are the embodiment of the taste of Asia and they kicked off their province wide festival with food experiences and a cultural dragon dance, finishing with a ribbon cutting ceremony. I had the pleasure of meeting several high level officials from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office and the Taiwan Trade Centre. It was exciting to experience everything along with my fellow council colleagues, MPP Lisa MacLeod and Deputy Mayor Mark Taylor.

The Ottawa Child & Youth Initiative organization held their annual “Growing Up Great” awards luncheon that saw our very own Osgoode Ward Resident Carley Scharf receiving the “Engaged and Active” award for her countless hours put in at Osgoode Village’s O-YA centre. Carley has been a great inspiration to the youth that pass through the doors of O-YA by showing the youth how to engage in their community. Congratulations Carley, great job! (insert pic) Also honoured at the luncheon was the Waupoos Farm Foundation. Brendan Marshall accepted the “Healthy and Thriving” award on their behalf. He told his touching story about how he was essentially without anywhere to live with his family due to housing problems; they applied to Waupoos Farm and were accepted to live there short term until they could get back on their feet. He has never forgotten it and has volunteered there ever since.

Waupoos Farm is a place where you can experience their “Pray, Work and Play” motto with your family and children under the age of 16. A great place to have in our Ward!

Congratulations to the Waupoos Farm Foundation.

There were several meetings held throughout the week that dealt with community issues, and others that involved annual dinners and silent auctions. The “Greely Loop” community meeting had some exciting news this week when they found out that the funding was now approved for the first phase of their project.

For Geety MacLean, a chance encounter with a woman whose name she barely knew proved life-saving.

After the two ran into each other at work, MacLean, a Crystal Beach resident, received an email from the woman urging her to get a mammogram.

But in MacLean’s mind, she couldn’t possibly have breast cancer.

Her risk factors were low.

The mother of two young children had no signs or symptoms. And there was no family history.

“But that was so not true,” she said.

Soon after, she went to her family doctor for a checkup and asked about having a mammogram. She was 45 years old and outside the 50- to 75-year-old range of when women are invited to be screened through the Ontario Breast Screening Program, without the need for a doctor’s referral.

Despite this, her family doctor arranged for a baseline mammogram in March 2006.

MacLean and her family were on their way to Boston for the March break when the doctor called to say further testing was needed.

“I thought, ‘That’s a death sentence. Holy cow,’” recalled MacLean. “But then I thought, there is no cancer in my family. There’s no way it can be cancer. It has to be something else.”

Biopsy results revealed she had cancer throughout her right breast, which led to her undergoing a mastectomy.

Screening, she said, saved her life.

But the fact remains that screening rates remain very low, which prompted the Ottawa Hospital to host a public breast, colorectal and cervical cancer screening event at the Riverside campus in October.

“It was such a good way to encourage people to screen and to really identify people who don’t have family physicians who might see that as a barrier to not come in for the screening,” said Dr. Jean

Fury say goodbye to old coach, hello to new one Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Just a few days after their previous coach held a going away press conference, the Ottawa Fury have a new head coach.

Ottawa Fury FC appointed Paul Dalglish on Nov. 20 as the second head coach in the club’s history. Dalglish brings extensive experience as a professional player and coach to the Fury.

He joins the Fury from

the Austin Aztex, where he served as head coach and technical director.

Dalglish will serve as both head coach and general manager of Fury FC. “The head coach position at Ottawa Fury FC has garnered significant interest and, in Paul, we have attracted one of the most impressive young coaches in North American,” stated Fury FC President John Pugh.

The announcement came soon after Marc

Got Events?

Dos Santos spoke as the club’s head coach for the last time at a press conference on Nov. 17, fondly recalling some favourite memories with the team.

The Fury’s season wrapped up with a 3-2 loss in a NASL championship game against the New York Cosmos in New York on Nov. 15.

Dos Santos, who was named NASL coach of the year, joined the club as its first head coach in 2014 and announced he would not be returning for the 2016 season in September.“The gafa – as he’s sometimes called – is leaving us. Life’s a journey for Marc and we’re fortunate to have been one stop on his highway,” said Pugh.

“He wins wherever he goes and he’s certainly won here in Ottawa for us.”

The Fury’s second year in the NASL saw the

team place second in the league overall with a record of 15-11-4.

The team placed ninth in the spring section of its split season, going 2-5-3, then turned things around, losing only one game down to stretch to win the fall season.

Dos Santos said the team’s semi-final game against Minnesota at TD Place in front of more than 9,000 fans was a highlight of his time with the club.“We have to strive in Ottawa to have not only one but many nights like that,” he said.

The night the team won the fall season in Jacksonville was another fond memory, he said.

Dos Santos thanked Pugh, the Ottawa Sports Entertainment Group and his players for the two seasons.

“This group of men has been something very special Alex Robinson/Metroland

Scott Moffatt – who is also chair of the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee – will present the updated Manotick Secondary

Megan DeLaire

Plan to ARAC in a public meeting on Dec. 10. Afterward, the public will be invited to provide feedback on the presented plan.

“This originally was going to go to the committee at the start of November, but I wanted to bring it to the community first so I gave it an extra month,” Moffatt said, explaining that he met with the public advisory group on Nov. 17 to go over the plan before the Dec. 10 meeting.

Moffatt did say, however, that the plan shown to the advisory group on Nov. 17 would still be subject to change by the city.

“It’ll be finalized and ready for print seven days before the committee meeting and I think they’re going to be working on it up until then,” he said.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Manotick arena, and by that time residents will have had a week to absorb the revised secondary plan, which should be available on the city’s website as of Dec. 3.

PARKER (ID# A186222)

Meet Parker (ID# A186222), an active and friendly boy looking for his new best friend.

Parker is an energetic Jack Russell Terrier mix that can’t wait to find a new family to have lots of adventures with. He loves to play and enjoys the company of other dogs. Parker would prefer an adult home with owners who can provide him with the guidance he needs. He would fit in well in an active home as he loves to be on the go. Is Parker the dog for you?

Surprise your kids this holiday season with a pet and make a homeless animal’s dreams come true

1203.R0013580794

YImagine a holiday season where you not only fulfill your children’s holiday wishes but make a homeless animal’s dreams come true too.

That’s the idea behind the Ottawa Humane Society’s holiday delivery program, a festive way to surprise a loved one with a furry friend during Hanukkah or on Yuletide morning.

From kittens and rabbits to dogs and hamsters, the OHS is seeking families interested in having volunteer elves drop by with their new four-legged family member on Dec. 25 or any night of Hanukkah.

Regular adoption procedures still apply, which means parents would come in to the shelter in advance to fill out

my philosophy is that everything needs to be open and transparent.”

Residents had pushed for a community-led review over a cityled one after the last secondary plan adopted in 2001 was indefensible at the Ontario Municipal Board, which allowed Minto to win rights to its Mahogany development the mid-2000s.

The aim of the review has been to develop policies to guide long-term development within Manotick that were more in line with what residents want.

Parking and traffic, building height, land use, development and infrastructure are only some of the issues addressed in both public and private meetings over the last two years.

“I think when it’s all said and done, come Dec. 10 when we pass the item I think it’s going to reflect the stuff we’ve heard,” Moffatt said.

“And hopefully capture the what people see as the vision for the future of Manotick.”

meeting should determine whether the current incarnation of the secondary plan will be approved, after several years in the works.

Since late 2013, the city has worked with planning consultants and a public advisory group made up of city staff, Manotick Village and Community Association president Klaus Beltzner, Donna Smith of the Manotick BIA, residents and development representatives to review the secondary plan.

“I had asked from the get go when we started the secondary plan review that it be a completely joint process between the community and the city and that we be working together at the working level,” Beltzner said. “That was denied.”

So the public advisory group was appointed by Moffatt to assist him in acting as a liaison between the city and the community.

“We’re supposed to provide the conduit back to the rest of the people,” Beltzner said.

“I’m there for the residents and

an application form, be matched with the right pet, and speak with an adoption counsellor.

This delivery program is busting the myth that pets should not be adopted during the holidays. If you’ve been thinking about adding a pet to your family, this may be the right time to do it, said Sharon Miko, OHS deputy executive director.

“Less travelling, smaller families, and time off during the holiday can make this the perfect time of year to bond with a new pet for many people,” Miko said.

There are limited holiday delivery spaces available so contact the OHS soon to sign up by phone at 613-725-3166 ext. 258, or visit the shelter at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.
