Cuba and Pakistan surprised the United Nation’s security council on Dec. 10 when their representatives at Osgoode Township High School narrowly passed a resolution to invade North Korea. Teacher David Way’s Grade 12 world politics class held a week-long model UN debate which culminated in a dramatic vote on Dec. 10 to attack the reclusive communist country in an effort to eradicate its nuclear weapons and liberate its population. Each student was assigned a country – some seemingly random, like Zambia, and others with key strategic interest in the issue, like Japan and South Korea. Of course, the five permanent members of

the security council were also represented. The class’s final vote was 16-11, giving United States representative Alyssa Brochu the support she needed to pass her proposal. Way said he’s used the debate as the class’s final project for about six years. He used to write resolutions calling for the invasion of Iran, but now that the United States is making diplomatic progress with the Middle Eastern country he said he moved on to North Korea, which continues to be a global threat. Although the classroom vote was civil, Way said the students become very attached to the countries they represent over the week. “It’s amazing how into it they get,” Way said. “I think there’s a lot of frustration with

what the UN is unable to do. It shows them how difficult it is for countries to come to a decision.” Grade 12 student Lane Patterson delivered a passionate plea against the resolution on behalf of North Korea, calling the United States a war-mongerer and vowing that an invasion of his country would hurt more people than it helps. “The US is acting like the world police and getting involved in disputes they shouldn’t be in,” Patterson said during the vote. “We have to help the innocent, not kill them off.” Later, Patterson said researching North Korea’s position helped him broaden his perspective on the country’s influence on the world stage. “I do think it’s a crime what North Korea is doing,” he said. “But the solution for this isn’t war. North Korea will collapse in my lifetime, there’s no doubt about it.” At the final decision, Brochu needed 16 votes to pass her US resolution. Way kept a few wild cards till the end. Colin Shibley, representing Cuba, surprised his classmates when he said his country shares its communist ideology with North Korea, but couldn’t condone its human rights abuses. Shibley ultimately sided with the US, saying he’d like to lift the decades-long trade embargo that has held his country back.

Young Greely filmmaker to release feature film next fall Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

She’s only 19, but St. Mark High School graduate Marina Bruno has been making films for sixteen years. No, really. The Greely resident’s first short film was entitled “Dinosaur,” and she made it using her toys and a home video camera when she was only three years old. She’s since embraced the life of independent filmmaker, following in the footsteps of her father, who has made films throughout South and North America. Since 2011 Bruno has written and produced seven short films, some of which have been screened at local film festivals. Another is available on IndieFlix, a kind of Netflix for

With the help of her parents and a large cast and crew, Bruno has wrapped her 80-minute dramedy called Cotton String, which she shot around Greely

and Manotick this summer. She’s now in the process of editing the film for a fall 2015 release. Like her short films, Cotton String promises a fast-paced and quirky experience Bruno says is most closely comparable to a Quentin Tarantino film. Her film’s main characters certainly fit that bill: two underachieving, middle-aged men who dress above their station to invest their life savings into a hippie’s classic car idea that he says is a guaranteed winner – only to have the whole thing fall apart into chaos. “The hippie pitches the idea but a lot of things go wrong and it’s just kind of a mess,” Bruno said. “The main characters bring on the problems themselves; they kind of screw up because

of their immaturity.” The entire film takes place over the course of one day, and Bruno said it captures – with the help of her quirky style – the self-destruction we can cause ourselves when faced with disappointment. “They’re idealists,” Bruno said. “The theme is sort of making fun of our way of re-

‘A house divided will not win’ Protesters interrupt Ottawa-Orleans Liberal nomination meeting Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Chants of “Shameâ€? and “Liesâ€? drowned out much of the nomination process for OttawaOrlĂŠans Liberal candidate Andrew Leslie at a packed meeting in Navan on Dec. 6. Leslie, who lives outside the riding in Rockcliffe Park, was the only candidate nominated to represent the riding’s Liberal base in next year’s federal election, but his acclamation was far from an easy win. There were hundreds of Leslie supporters at a seniors centre in Navan to cheer on the retired lieutenant-general – including east-end Liberal MPP Marie-France Lalonde, who formally nominated Leslie. But angry protesters were at the ready to interrupt the process as much as possible in support of OrlĂŠans lawyer David Bertschi, who was barred from seeking nomination in the race because of outstanding debts from his 2013 Liberal party leadership bid. After he ran for the leadership, Bertschi received approval from the party to seek the Liberal nomination in Ottawa-OrlĂŠans. But Liberal party officials sent Bertschi a letter on Nov. 7 stating he was no longer eligible to run because of outstanding debts from his leadership run. Bertschi and his supporters believe he is fully within the rules of Elections Canada, accusing the Liberal party of using his debt as an excuse to essentially appoint Leslie, who

serves as an adviser to federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. Defying the bright red posters that plastered Leslie’s name across the meeting hall, angry residents repeatedly interrupted the master of ceremonies to voice their disappointment with the system. One man nearly came to blows with a Leslie supporter, prompting police officers on standby to step in and break it up. The protesters certainly made their point; the chants of “Shameâ€? were at one point so loud that Leslie himself had to stand up and ask residents to simmer down. “We wanted our voices heard,â€? said OrlĂŠans resident Dionne Sinclair, who was the first to interrupt the proceedings by standing up and reading a long point of order on Bertschi’s behalf. “I felt dismissed.â€? She said protesters just wanted to have the opportunity to choose their Liberal candidate democratically, adding they would have supported Leslie in the federal election if he had won the candidacy over Bertschi. “If we voted and there was a clear winner, I would support it,â€? Sinclair said. Now many long-time Liberals in the riding are ripping up their memberships instead. “I am no longer a Liberal,â€? said one protester, who didn’t want to be named. “This ends right now. I will never vote Liberal again.â€?

– for which he has already raised about $100,000 and submitted a reduction plan to completely pay off, she said. She said another concern – Bertschi’s lawsuit against a blogger in the United States – was withdrawn before his leadership bid. “I know for a fact we’re fully compliant with Elections Canada rules and requirements and the written letter of the law according to the Liberal Party of Canada,� Bertschi said. He added that when he ran for the party leadership, rules stated debt had no bearing at all on being a nominated candidate. However after the leadership election, new party leader Justin Trudeau created a rule that candidates with more than $100,000 in debt from a leadership run may not be approved to run for a riding nomination. “You have to realize the rule when I ran for leadership had no bearing at all on being a nominated candidate,� Bertschi said. “It was a retroactive rule.� At the nomination meeting on Dec. 6, Bertschi stood against the far wall and watched as Liberal members packed the room and held up placards bearing his opponent’s name. “I’m numb,� he said. “The democratic process has not been lived up to.�

INTERNAL CONFLICT

A written statement from Liberal party spokesperson Olivier Duchesneau said that “new information� about Bertschi’s nomination application came up in the fall, causing the party to withdraw its approval. Those concerns, according to Bertschi’s wife Debbie Orth, include $150,000 in debt

Nowhere to go but up for Sens

T

he news that the Ottawa Senators are considering moving the team’s arena to LeBreton Flats came as a surprise for residents, both pleasant and gloomy, depending on where they live. Many fans, especially those who live in eastern and southern Ottawa, would welcome the chance to take in a Sens game without facing a long and timeconsuming commute to – as Ottawa-West Nepean MP and Canada’s Foreign Minister John Baird puts it – “the middle of nowhere.� About 101,000 people, roughly one in 10 Ottawa residents live in “the middle of nowhere� according to the latest figures available from the 2011 Statistics Canada census. Using our handy map of the city, we discovered the other residents of nowhere land include West Carleton (21,500) and Barrhaven and Nepean (156,000) – which strangely enough includes many of Baird’s constituents. People who live in the Ottawa Valley, including Arnprior, Renfrew and Carleton Place, probably

aren’t even on Minister Baird’s radar, but for the sake of argument we’ll include them within the boundaries of “nowhere.� We shudder to consider Minister Baird’s future ability to argue for any significant investment in the west end of Ottawa – who wants to invest in a place going “nowhere.� The Ottawa Senators already draw a pretty good crowd to the middle of nowhere’s arena – 18,399 fans on average per game – but maybe the team can increase attendance at LeBreton Flats. The move would hit the pocketbooks of a host of west-end businesses, such as restaurants and hotels that depend on the crowds generated by the Senators, not to mention the concerts and other events hosted throughout the year at the arena. But bottom line, Eugene Melnyk owns the team. If he’s willing to spend a half-a-billion dollars to build a new arena, that’s his right – just so long as he doesn’t expect to draw on taxpayers’ money. And without the public purse, moving the team is an argument that goes nowhere.

Pondering a dream for LeBreton, again

I

t might be more wishful thinking than anything, but reports that the Ottawa Senators were considering moving to LeBreton Flats have stirred considerable interest, as well as stimulated a healthy debate over what could and should be done with that space. There is a distinct possibility that this is all a pipe dream: the Senators have a perfectly good building out in Kanata; second, the National Capital Commission, which has been guarding LeBreton from development for more than half a century, might not look kindly on the idea. You might remember that there was brief discussion about locating a baseball stadium in the Flats when talks about Triple-A baseball began in the early 1990s. The NCC sniffily

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town said no. No activity with the taint of commercialism would be suitable, thank you very much. Mind you, it’s quite a different NCC now. All and sundry have been invited to submit proposals, commercial or not, for development of the Flats. So the idea might have a bit more traction than it had 20 years ago. The advantages of an arena at LeBreton are as obvious as the disadvantages of the current location, where traffic on game nights

is a problem and there is nothing to do after the game but get in the car and contribute to the traffic. The LeBreton location is central, walking distance from Parliament Hill, more or less, and will be extremely well served by public transit. More important, if LeBreton is developed intelligently – a big if – an arena there might be surrounded by restaurants, bars and cafes that would provide something to do before and after the game. The importance of that can’t be overstated. You could argue that one of the causes of the demise of the Montreal Expos was the fact that their stadium was located in a commercial dead zone. Yes, it was on the Metro line, which was good. But after the game there was nothing to do but get back on the Metro.

Many professional sports teams in the ’70s and ’80s built their arenas and stadiums in the suburbs where land was cheap and parking was ample. For a lot of them, the experiment didn’t work and they moved back downtown. Some teams, such as the Toronto Blue Jays, wisely resisted the urge to move to the suburbs. Now, the Rogers Centre, formerly SkyDome, has helped bring vitality to a downtown neighbourhood. Imagine Toronto getting something right. Is it a dream to ponder such an outcome for Ottawa? Perhaps not. But even if downtown hockey does not materialize, the principle of having major attractions surrounded by bars, restaurants and stores is still worth pursuing. Another museum would help, as was argued here recently. A professional sports facility would help even more, but with some provisos.

It would have to be capable of other uses, for one thing. And then there is the age-old question of who would pay for it. The idea of taxpayers funding new sports facilities has gone out of style, and rightly so. So, now what?

Political pipes Retired Osgoode councillor Doug Thompson and Mayor Jim Watson say a few words to residents of St. Patrick’s Home of Ottawa on Dec. 11 before singing Christmas songs with former Cumberland mayors Brian Coburn and Gerry Lalonde, former Vanier mayor Guy Couisineau, former Ottawa mayor Allan Higdon and River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington. The ‘Old Grey Mayors’ singalong has taken place annually in a different venue for about 10 years, which Watson joked is because the group is never invited back.

New learning centre approved for University of Ottawa Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

The University of Ottawa will invest in a new multi-million dollar student facility for its downtown campus. The university announced the approval of the new Learning Centre building at a cost of $83 million on Dec. 9. The new centre will be located at the centre of the university’s campus, steps away from the future University of Ottawa light rail transit stop. The six-storey building will feature 26 classrooms and 800 study and work spaces which will be available for use by students around-

the-clock. There will also be a convivial gathering place and a food court which will seat 350 people. “The Learning Centre will become the new place where students congregate on campus,” said Christian Detellier, vice-president of academic and provost. “We carefully selected a location where the main flows of pedestrian traffic intersect. The centre will be a friendly meeting place and is designed to respond to the needs of not only our students, but also new teaching practices.” Construction of the new centre will begin in the summer of 2015, with the building expected to open in 2017.

Ottawa road crews are getting winter ready Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Changing weather patterns are making snow removal a challenge, said winter operations chief Luc Gagne, but the city is ready for the deluge. Although his department has already blown through its $58 million budget for 2014 thanks to a lengthy winter earlier this year, Gagne’s staff has had a chance to catch its breath this winter. At this time last year, 40 centimetres of snow had already fallen. While there is less snow so far this winter, the instance of freeze-thaws cycles is increasing, so the city is ready to pretreat roads with liquid salt to prevent ice build-up, Gagne said. Residents can follow @ottawacity on Twitter for updated information about snow clearing operations.

The first roads to be cleared, which get plows almost as soon as snow begins falling, are the Transitway and highway 174. Major arterial roads such as Hunt Club, Woodroffe and March roads are next. Residential streets begin to be plowed once seven centimetres of snow has fallen, Gagne said. Those operations can begin up to 10 hours after a snow event. Complete removal of snow on residential streets, from curb to curb, happens after snow buildup reduces the travelable width of the road to five metres, Gagne said. The clearing of intersections, pedestrian crossings and the city’s 6,000 bus stops begins after a snow event has ended. Gagne reminded motorists to keep a safe distance back from snow plows and avoid passing them, particularly when they are turning, because plows are wider than most other vehicles.

BY THE NUMBERS • Average of 236 centimetres of snowfall a year • Average of 178 millimetres of freezing rain in a winter • $58 million snow removal budget for 2014 • 180,000 tonnes of salt • 4.5 million litres of liquid salt for pre-treating roads • 580 pieces of winter road and sidewalk maintenance equipment • 6,000 kilometers of roads • 2,200 km of sidewalks and pathways • 6,000 bus stops • 18 maintenance yards • 619 employees

Long-standing folk festival changes name and venue CityFolk coming to Lansdowne Park Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

There’s a great deal of change in store for the Ottawa Folk Festival in 2015. The festival is being renamed CityFolk and will call Lansdowne Park home as organizers make a move to a more central location for music fans. “The fact that Lansdowne was complete and seeing the new site really inspired us with what we could do there with the festival,” said Mark Monahan, the festival’s executive and artistic director. According to Monahan, both parks are similar in size, but Lansdowne offers services Hog’s Back Park cannot, which he said will make setting up and operation of the festival much easier. Lansdowne’s great lawn

will be the location of the gated main stage for ticket-holders-only. The area in front of and around the Aberdeen Pavilion will be open to the public and will include craft beer tents and musical programming. Noise from this year’s festival at Hog’s Back prompted a number of complaints from the Glebe neighbourhood, as the sound trickled down the river into their neighbourhood and the festival was handed a $405 fine after its opening night. To mitigate concerns for 2015, Monahan said he has already met with Capital Coun. David Chernushenko about noise concerns and plans to hold a consultation with the community in the spring. That was welcome news to Glebe Community Association president Christine McAllister, who added the community does acknowledge events at the park will be coming. “We will be looking at the noise and making sure that bylaws are followed, but we also

know it’s just part of living next to the venue,” she said. McAllister said since the park reopened, the community has been focused on the dayto-day effect on the community and as more events occur, the association’s Lansdowne Park committee will address concerns and work with the city and park operator Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group to alleviate them. “We do plan to take a closer look at the impacts that could happen,” she said. NAME CHANGE

The move to the new location also offered a perfect time to rebrand the festival, said Monahan. “Since we’re moving to the heart of the city, and we want all music fans in Ottawa to feel a kinship with the festival, we felt CityFolk would resonate with them,” he said. Monahan added that in recent years the festival has been drawing a younger crowd and the name change reflects that.

The lineup for the 2015 festival is still a work in progress and Monahan said the full lineup will be announced in the spring. To stay up-to-date with festival news, visit cityfolkfestival.ca. TD PLACE READY TO ROCK

OSEG officially reopened Lansdowne Park in July, welcoming football back to the city with the Ottawa RedBlacks, and since its opening the park has seen sellouts for the games played at TD Place. Shortly after opening, the park became available for use and this past fall saw some of the planned retail outlets in the park open. On Dec. 9, it was announced that rockers Def Leppard will perform at TD Place on May 4. Tickets go on sale on Dec. 12 at livenation.com. More information about upcoming events and the park itself is available at oseg.ca and tdplace.ca.

Notice to our customers

Hydro Ottawa Limited’s Electricity Delivery Charge is changing on January 1, 2015. The total monthly bill for a typical residential customer consuming 800 kWh per month will increase by approximately $1.58 per month beginning on January 1, 2015. Rates for other customers, including businesses, will also increase. This inflationary increase reflects the rising costs of building and maintaining Hydro Ottawa’s distribution system.

LEARN MORE Hydro Ottawa electricity rates, which represent approximately 20% of the total bill, are approved by the Ontario Energy Board and make up part of the Delivery Charge. To learn more about this rate change, visit hydroottawa.com/rates.

“There is nothing off the table with how we meet with rural residents in the future,” Moffatt said. Moffatt said he would also like to be more proactive and “get ahead of issues and respond” with new policies before they become big issues. One such controversial issue that’s been percolating on the rural agenda for the past year is the city’s application of provincial water-quality guidelines known as D-55 when it comes to granting land severances. That issue should see some resolution or at least some movement in the near future, Moffatt said. He said he would like to see some recommendations come to ARAC from the D-55 working group that he and West CarletonMarch Coun. Eli El-Chantiry have been meeting with since the spring. “You’re never going to be able to make every single person happy, (but) it would be a shame to go through this process and come out with nothing,” he said, adding that he’d like to see ways of making it easier for rural residents when it comes to approval of new wells in general.

The bylaw was just updated earlier this year. Next on his list is making a change that would require ARAC to sign off on Official Plan changes relating to the rural areas before city council can adopt an updated Official Plan, which is the blueprint for land-use planning directions across the city. Having grown up in rural Ottawa and represented one of only three wards in the city that are entirely rural, the second-term councillor said he’s a perfect fit for the job. “I think I can be a big voice for all of rural Ottawa,” Moffatt said. Moffatt will have some deci-

sions to make as the new chairman, including deciding a new location for the ARAC meetings. On Dec. 3, city council voted to end the practice of having regular ARAC meetings scheduled in rural locations across the city. Moffatt said the first ARAC meetings of this new term of council will be held at city hall, but he will confer with the other councillors who sit on the committee to determine whether another location, such as Ben Franklin Place in Nepean, would be a more central and convenient spot. Some meetings could still be held in rural locations if there is an item of particular interest to a certain area that will be discussed.

Crispy mushroom phyllo rolls are easy to make and taste great The contrast between buttery crisp paper-thin phyllo and sumptuous mushrooms is both impressive and unexpected. Easy to make and no frying required. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes. Baking time: 13 minutes. Makes nine rolls. Ingredients

• 125 ml butter (1/2 cup) butter • 250 g (8 oz) mushrooms, finely chopped • 50 ml (1/4 cup) finely chopped shallots • 5 ml (1 tsp) dried tarragon leaves • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 50 ml (1/4 cup) grated Asiago • 50 ml (1/4 cup) chopped fresh parsley • 6 sheets phyllo pastry • 45 ml (3 tbsp) coarsely chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

In a large skillet, melt 25 ml (2 tbsp) of the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, shallots, tarragon and salt, and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms seem dry -- about 10 minutes. Transfer the filling into a bowl. Stir in the cheese and 50 ml (1/4 cup) chopped parsley. (If you’re making it ahead, cover and refrigerate it for up to two days.) For the rolls, melt the remaining 90 ml (6 tbsp) of butter. Lay one phyllo sheet on your work surface with the long end closest to you. Cover the remaining phyllo with a damp tea towel to prevent it from drying out. Lightly brush the phyllo sheet with butter. Scatter about 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the coarsely chopped parsley on top of the phyllo sheet. Top with another phyllo sheet and

brush it with butter. Cut the pastry sheets vertically into three, 12-centimetre (fiveinch) wide strips. Discard the leftover thin strips. Mound about 25 ml (2 tbsp) of the filling, 2.5 centimetres (one inch) from bottom of one strip. Pat the filling into log shape, leaving one centimetre (1/2-inch) phyllo border on both sides. Fold in both long sides of phyllo strip, about one centimetre (1/2inch) wide, bringing them up and over filling ends. Lightly brush folded sides with butter. Fold bottom edge of phyllo strip over filling and roll up. Brush roll with butter and place seam side down on nonstick baking sheet. Repeat process twice more making nine rolls. Bake in 190 C (375 F) oven until golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Serve warm. Foodland Ontario

Farm Boy partnering with CHEO to promote healthier, better lives. Farm Boy, a local fresh food retailer entices customers to help raise funds for CHEO nutrition education, research and programming. Farm Boy’s latest fundraising campaign takes off this week with their fourth annual coupon book. Customers can save money, while helping raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). “Our customers know that ensuring the health of our children is one of the most basic and important things we can do together. Over the years, the progress we’ve helped to achieve on behalf of CHEO is something we’re very proud of and our customers have been a big part of that,” said Jeff York, CEO of Farm Boy. York noted that over the past 15 years, Farm Boy customers have helped raise over $1.3 million for CHEO, which has been used for equipment purchases and the outdoor Farm Boy Fun Park. Kicking off the coupon book campaign, Farm Boy presented a $60,324.43 cheque for nutrition education, research and programming. Money raised last year was designated for CHEO’s Healthy Active Living Centre. The centre was established to improve the health and quality of life of children with weight-related health complications, and support them and their families in achieving a healthy, active lifestyle. “I’m proud of how our customers, suppliers and employees have made this

donation possible,” said York. “Thanks to them, we can help children in our community embrace healthy active lifestyles, including healthy eating.”

Jeff York, Farm Boy President & CEO (right) and Carolyn Trudel, Farm Boy Director of Marketing (middle) presents the CHEO Foundation’s President & CEO Kevin Keohane (left) with a cheque for $60,324.43 for the CHEO Foundation. Lulu the Cow and CHEO Bear were happy to help out.

Eastern Ontario residents can purchase the $10 coupon book with 100% of that going to CHEO. This year’s coupon book contains over $100 in savings on favourite Farm Boy products and 22 tasty recipes from the Farm Boy recipe contest winners and Farm Boy Chef, including the recipe for their coveted, December Fresh Soup of the Month—Wholesome Mushroom Kale Soup.

“We are proud of our longstanding relationship with Farm Boy and its loyal customers. We want to thank everyone who works and shops at Farm Boy for the outstanding support they continue to provide to the children and young families served by CHEO. Farm Boy’s focus may be all about the food but they do it with an unwavering commitment to keeping our kids as healthy as they can be.” KEVIN KEOHANE PRESIDENT & CEO, CHEO FOUNDATION

Both Farm Boy and CHEO hope that this year’s coupon book is a big success.

From baking to birthdays, December was the most wonderful time

F

or me, the month of December was the best time of the year.  The planks on the wood horses in the summer kitchen were loaded with cake tins and pies wrapped in many layers of newspapers, and then covered with a thick quilt. Mother lived in dread that a mouse would invade what she had spent hours making for Christmas, but Father said they would have to have teeth like a chain-saw to get through all the wrappings Mother had put around every morsel. Every time I went into the summer kitchen, to get wood to load up the wood box, I could smell cinnamon and ginger coming from the mounds on the planks, and I would think to myself what a wonderful time of year was December! Of course, that was the month of my birthday too. But the day came and went like most others, although

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Mother always made a cake for me, and put in a few coins wrapped in wax paper.  That was as far as a birthday celebration went.  And my brothers always gave me something they had made.   My sister Audrey, without fail, would take a nickle out of the corner of her hankie, and it would be sitting at my supper plate at night. “Too close to Christmas” Mother would say, which meant “don’t expect anything more than the cake.” But sitting around the kitchen table the night of my birthday, in the middle of December, I would feel the utmost contentment.  We would

linger over our piece of cake, and Mother would get out her harmonica, and we’d all sing “Happy Birthday.”  When I was very young I used to sing Happy Birthday dear Mary, until my sister Audrey told me I was just to listen and be quiet. And by the middle of December, the snow would be knee deep, the old Model T would be up on blocks in the drive shed, and everywhere we went, we traveled in the cutter or the flat-bottom sleigh.   By then Father would have attached the brass bells to the horse’s harness, and I would think there wasn’t a more wonderful sound in the entire

world than those bells, especially if we were traveling at night and the moon was out, and the fields looked as if they were covered with millions of diamonds.   I would invariably fall asleep under the heavy blankets with the hot bricks at our feet, listening to those sleigh bells.   I would think that time of year was the most wonderful of any month before or after, and never once did I think we were poor.  I would think we were the richest people in the world. In December, Turkey Fair would have come and gone, and I would know that the blue sugar bowl would be fuller than at any other time of the year.   And it was in December that our order from Eaton’s catalogue would arrive, delivered right to our door by the mailman.   The excitement of opening the parcel (always wrapped

in heavy brown paper, and tied with thick cord) once the kitchen had been redded up after supper, was right up there with getting new hair ribbons, or having a five cent ice cream cone from Briscoes General Store. And it was in December that we would collect the many new calendars handed out free of charge from so many of the stores in Renfrew.  The Rexall calendar was Father’s favourite, and it went right to the cow byre.   It was always a blue colour, and on the monthly sheets, which were the full size of the calendar, were lists of new medicines to treat everything from the common cold, to dealing with livestock ailments, which was of interest to Father.   And as the month went on, I would be filled with the utmost excitement, knowing Christmas was just days away.  Although presents were few and far between,

I knew for a fact that Santa Claus would come.  He never forgot my house on the Northcote Side Road.   Always he left me a book, and a toy of the simplest kind, and there would be new hand knit mitts, and always the orange in the toe of my stocking. So all December would be one of sheer joy of the season and what it meant.  My life would be filled with anticipation.   Special church services, neighbours coming to visit, the school concert, secret trips by Mother and Father into Renfrew, and if we were lucky, the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie would arrive in time for Christmas.   December would spin by, even though I would pray that it would go on forever.  When I was very young, and unaware of the hardships around me, December was always the most wonderful month of the year.

Ottawa’s best kept holiday secret Have you been out to the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum lately? Each year, the museum hosts a Vintage Village of Lights, a spectacular must-see attraction in Ottawa’s east end. A mere 25-minute drive from downtown Ottawa, it’s the perfect place to bring your family and friends this holiday season. Imagine 30,000 lights frosted over the entire village. Kids of all ages will be delighted by the 15-foot tall reindeer, especially when your family can climb in to Santa’s sleigh and take the reins – also a great family photo op. There is as much to do inside as there is to see outside. Did you know that Santa answers

Wishing You and Your Family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Silent night! Holy night! All is calm, all is bright; Round yon Virgin Mother and Child, Holy Infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night! Holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar, heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah. Christ, the Saviour is born! Christ, the Saviour is born!

O Come All Ye Faithful

John Francis Wade (English) O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem Come and behold Him Born, the King of Angels; O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. Sing, choirs of angels Sing in exultation, Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above “Glory to God In the highest”; O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Hark The Herald Angels Sing Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy William Hayman Cummings Charles Wesley

@BarrhavenJan @BarrhavenJan

Hark the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King,” Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!” Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies, With the angelic host, proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem.” (Refrain) Hark, the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King.” Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold Him Come, Offspring of a virgin’s womb, Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;

Hail, the heaven born Prince of peace! Hail, the Son o Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings, Mild He lays His glory by Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas English

We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. (Refrain) Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem Phillips Brooks 19th Century Lewis H. Redner 19th Century

O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in the dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary; And gathering all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. How silently how silently, The wonderous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in. O Holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel.

Joy To The World Isaac Watts 1719 Lowell Mason 1839 George Fredrick Handel

Joy to the world! The Lord is come Let earth receive her King! Let every heart prepare Him room And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven, and heaven and nature sing Joy to the world! the Savior reigns Let men their songs employ While fields and floods Rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat, repeat the sounding joy No more let sins and sorrows grow Nor thorns infest the ground He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found Far as the curse is found Far as, far as the curse is found He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonders and wonders of His love

Jingle Bells James Pierpont

Dashing thro’ the snow In a one horse open sleigh, O’er the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight! (Refrain) Jingle bells, Jingle bells! Jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh! A day or two ago I thought I’d take a ride, And soon Miss Fannie Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seem’d his lot He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got up-sot. Now the ground is white, Go it while you’re young, Take the girls tonight, And sing the sleighing song. Just get a bob-tailed nag, Two forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack! you’ll take the lead.

The Little Drummer Boy

Katherine Davis, Henry Onorati and Harry Simeone Come, they told me, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, A new born King to see, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, Our finest gifts we bring, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, To lay before the King, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, Rum-pum-pum-pum, Rum-pum-pum-pum, So to honor Him, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, When we come. Little Baby, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, I am a poor boy, too, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, I have no gift to bring Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, That’s fit to give our King, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, Rum-pum-pum-pum, Rum-pum-pum-pum, Shall I play for You, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, On my drum?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names, They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright Won’t you drive my sleight tonight?� Then now the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You’ll go down in history.�

It Came Upon The Midnight Clear Arthur Seymour Sullivan Edmund Hamilton Sears

It came upon a midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold:“Peace on earth, goodwill to men, From heaven’s all-gracious King!� The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled: And still their heavenly music floats O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing. And ever o’er its Babel Sounds The blessed angels sing. And ye, beneath life’s crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing. For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.

William James Kirkpatrick Stanley L. Osborne

Away in a manger, No crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head. The stars in the bright sky Look down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing The Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky, And stay by my side Until morning is nigh.

And by the light of the same star, Three wisemen came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MANY THANKS FOR A GREAT YEAR!

This star drew nigh to the north-west, O’er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. Then entered in those wise men three, Full reverently upon bended knee, And offered there, in His presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

Nature museum brings Arctic experience to Ottawa Michelle Nash Michelle.nash@metroland.com

Not everyone is lucky enough to visit the Arctic. The journey makes for a difficult and expensive trip and there is only a limited number of times during the year when it’s even possible. The Canadian Museum of Nature is providing an alternate route for Arctic enthusiasts in Ottawa, with its latest exhibit, Arctic Voices, which opened on Dec. 5. The exhibit showcases how connected the communities are, what types of wildlife, plant life and ocean life dwell in the area and most importantly it allows people the opportunity to learn about the Arctic’s past, present and future. “The Arctic is such a massive part of our country and such a hard place to get to,� said Laurel McIvor, senior educator at museum. “People need to learn and know more about our own backyard and this is one way

they can.� The museum worked in partnership with the Science North in Sudbury to produce the show, which will run in Ottawa until May 3, 2015. While developing the exhibit, McIvor said the museum collaborated with the Inuit community in Ottawa, as well as worked with Students On Ice another museum collaborated research project to connect with the many different cultures which thrive in the Arctic. “One of the exciting things about this project is the inclusion of the Inuit community,� McIvor said. “We wanted to make sure we didn’t talk about the nature of the Arctic without talking about the people who live there.� One example of reaching out locally was when the museum met with Heidi Langille and Lynda Brown and learned about their throat singing talents. The two teach and perform throat singing in Ottawa. They are featured in a vid-

eo segment which both teaches people the techniques of throat singing and offers the chance to try it out all while recording their performances. “Throat singing is so much fun - we needed to make it interactive,� McIvor said. McIvor tried out the new attraction herself, and laughed when she watched the video of her efforts. Aside from that game, people can also try to leap as far as an Arctic hare or crawl through a polar bear den. Botanist and director of the Centre for Arctic Knowledge and Exploration, Jeff Saarela, MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND said he is most excited about Director of the Centre for Arctic Knowledge and Exploration Jeff Saarela visits the Arctic the plant life featured at the every summer to study plant life in remote areas.

TEAKAMAY (ID# A174723)

Meet Teakamay (ID# A174723), a five-year-old Siberian husky and Elkhound mix waiting for her forever home. Winter is Teakamay’s favorite season! She LOVES her plush toys and tennis balls, especially when they are covered in snow! She is sweet and affectionate, always eager to please. Teakamay would enjoy being the only dog in her new home and having all of the attention to herself. Pass the word on to Santa: she would love to have a yard to call her own, just in time for the holidays!

Ottawa Humane Society: Helping animals find homes for the holidays One of my all time favourite Christmas specials is The Homecoming, the TV movie that was the precursor to the longrunning series, The Waltons. In it, the Walton family is preparing for Christmas in 1930’s rural Virginia. It is Christmas eve and they are waiting for their father John Walton to come home from his job in a city some 50 miles away. Since he is late, everyone is worried, and over the radio the mother and grandparents hear about an overturned bus and hurt travelers, but keep the news from the rest of the family. It is a simple story set in a simple time, but the coming home for Christmas subject resonates with me, as I suspect it does for a lot of people. A quick Google search reveals a half-

Stacie is a lovely grey and white tabby. She is cuddly and is looking for a onecat home. Jasper, Max and Stacie have been waiting a long time. Are you the person that will find it their heart to give a home to one of the animals that has been waiting? Will you help us make their dream of Christmas homecoming come true by spreading the word about these great pets? And may you make it home for Christmas, wherever that is for you, and may all your Christmas dreams come true.

dozen or so movies with variation of the phrase as the title. The 1943 song I’ll be Home for Christmas has been recorded by close to 150 singers since its first release. Clearly for a lot of us, Christmas is about homecomings.

brought in Pace, who is also a youth football coach, who told the Mustangs that he encourages his own young players to be leaders on an off the field “... because the one thing that the world needs more of is leaders.” The Mustangs listened as the sixfoot-seven retired St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears offensive tackle said he has had great coaches throughout his life who have helped instill some important values in him, He told the tykes it’s important to do the right things when nobody’s looking. “Because it’s easy to be good once you’re in front of your coach and he’s pushing you and he’s telling you to do all these great things,” said Pace. “But when nobody’s looking are you guys doing the right things?” Football is more than just a game, he said.

will be able to develop fitness habits for life, receive a boost to their confidence and self-esteem, and build friendships with kids in different communities. “I think diversity is amazing,” the volunteer said. “That’s how you build communities.” And the kids have fun, which is the ultimate goal for the football club. There is also opportunity to roll education into the mix, possibly with the hiring of tutors so young players can receive afterschool homework help. “It’s that whole child development,” said Howard, who also runs a separate touch football program in south Ottawa. It’s this passion that has become his calling card. Howard approached the Russell Heights Community House in 2013

of the football club’s board of directors,” Dwyer wrote. After his first season with the Mustangs’ Canterbury tykes team, nine-year-old Heatherington resident Xavier Stratton is hooked on the sport. Howard is a big reason for that. “He’s very nice to the team and he tried his best to help us,” Stratton said after asking Orlando Pace, who won a Super Bowl ring with the St. Louis Rams in 2000, to sign his football helmet during the award celebration. Stratton had watched the sport on TV, but had never played before joining the Mustangs this year. “It’s just very interesting and it’s very fun,” said the defensive lineman, who enjoys tackling his opponents. “That’s my favourite thing. I kept asking coach if I could be defence and he was like, ‘fine,’” Stratton said with a grin. “It’s about these kids,” said Howard, who was selected by a panel of Canadian journalists and NFL, BlackRock and Football Canada officials from more than 100 nominated coaches across Canada.

South Ottawa Mustangs tykes head coach Paul Howard shares the limelight with nine-yearold Xavier Stratton, one of his players, after Howard received the 2014 NFL Youth Coach of the Year award during a celebration in downtown Ottawa on Dec. 7.

Both on and off the field, the young players on head coach Paul Howard’s South Ottawa Mustangs tykes team are treated like football royalty. As the boys excitedly trooped up the stairs at Real Sports Bar and Grill in downtown Ottawa on Dec. 7 to watch Howard receive the 2014 NFL Youth Coach of the Year award, they were handed new T-shirts and treated to cold sodas and hot food. The football family then posed for photos with St. Louis Rams cheerleaders before representatives with the National Football League Canada and sponsor BlackRock Asset Management Canada presented Howard with the honour – the first time an Ottawa coach has won the top prize since the award was established 16 years ago. During a night designed to celebrate the Alta Vista volunteer’s contribution to youth football and his community, in typical Coach Paul style – as he is known in south Ottawa – he made certain his players were the stars of the event. “Guys, this is about you today, and about how good your future’s going to be, because if this can happen to an old guy like me, it can definitely happen to you,” said Howard, who acknowledged his own former football coaches Wally Harris and Jim Chiarelli for the difference they made in his life. For the past two years, the information technology professional has been head coach of the Mustangs’ tykes team made up of 30 players from a wide-cross section of neighbourhoods – from Ledbury-Banff and Russell Heights to Heatherington and Herongate, and across Alta Vista. The team practises and hosts exhibition games at Sandalwood Park in Herongate. “I see the challenges in those areas,” said Howard, who grew up in Herongate and graduated from Ridgemont High School, where he played football. “So basically it’s a chance to really work with kids that have a lot of needs.” The NFL award comes with $5,000 in football equipment from the NFL, and for the second year $5,000 in fee bursaries from BlackRock. “No kid who wants to play will ever be refused because of funding, not one,” Howard said. More money means more players

in hopes that more kids from lowincome neighbourhoods would try the sport and be enriched through the experience. “Having grown up in a low-income community himself, he understands the challenges and barriers to sport these young people face, such as lack of funds for registration fees, lack of equipment and transportation issues,” Sara Dwyer, co-ordinator of Russell Heights Community House, wrote in nominating Howard for the award. He’s helped secure rides or equipment for kids, developed a community football clinic and barbecue, as well as a touch football program in Russell Heights, which he hopes to repeat next year, she said. The coach’s positive impact on the community through the game of football also extends to parents. “We have seen these parents, many of whom are struggling on a daily basis to provide for their families, become involved with the football club as volunteers, offering rides to other participants, helping out at the canteen, and even becoming members

only seven players from his league chosen to play. St. Pierre, a forward, is in his second season with the Cumberland Grads, and started with their minor hockey program around the age of nine after moving from Casselman, Ont. Players were selected from the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s five eastern Junior A leagues. “He’s big, strong, he can skate, he can put the puck in the net,” said Cumberland Grads president and general manager Steve Barban. “As good as he is on the ice, he’s also very good off the ice. If we’re down in a game, he’ll pump the kids up.” The Cumberland Grads strong suit

is developing local players, so Barban was glad to see an Orléans player named to such a prestigious team. “He’s only one of seven kids in the entire league selected, so that’s quite an honour,” he said. Barban said the team is the best club in the league at developing local players who move onto the next level of hockey, particularly those who receive scholarships to American universities. It means they don’t win as many games as they’d like, but are able to support homegrown hockey. “We don’t win a lot of games, but if you look at the number of kids that receive U.S. university scholarships that are local, we lead the league,” Barban said. “We’re the top at developing local kids.” Barban said it’s an excellent opportunity for St. Pierre because the tournament will be a major scouting event for both NHL and university coaches to look at players. St. Pierre’s mother, Sylvie St. Pierre, said his goal right now is to play at the U.S. National Collegiate Athletic Association level. He is currently a first-year, part-time student at the University of Ottawa. Both she and his grandmother will fly to Saskatchewan to see him don the maple leaf jersey. “We would not have missed it for the world,” Sylvie said. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Canada East will play in group A at the challenge with Switzerland and the United States. Canada West is in group B with Denmark and Russia. The semifinals were scheduled for Dec. 18, with the gold medal game set for Dec. 20. It will be broadcast on TSN.

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