Cause of Mooney’s Bay house fire ruled accidental The homeowner had been outside shovelling his driveway when he spotted smoke inside his home.

He called 911 just before 1:30 p.m.

In the short term, the fire investigator was able to determine the fire began in the kitchen area, but it

ruled accidental.

“It was combustibles too close to a (stove-top) heating element left unattended,” assistant deputy fire chief Sean Tracey said of the source of the fire at 2755 Flannery Dr. on Dec. 30.

took time to determine what caused the smoke and flames – whether the source was an unattended pot on the stove or other combustible materials left on the counter near the stove.

The investigator assigned to the case has since interviewed fire suppression crews that responded to the incident, as well as the occupant.

Once the resident made the 911 call, fire crews arrived within seven minutes, managing to contain the fire to the kitchen, Tracey said. It

The flames were contained to the dumpster and fire officials said there was no dollar loss associated with the incident.

The cause of the fire could not be determined.

“Basically it was materials that were contained to the dumpster,” said assistant deputy fire chief Sean Tracey, adding that the housing complex is in the process of being vacated before the end of February.

“It could be careless discarding of smoking materials to any number of causes,” he said, adding the fire is not considered suspicious.

was declared under control at 1:56 p.m.

However, there was extensive smoke throughout the property, making it uninhabitable, he said, adding the displaced homeowner was given assistance by the Salvation Army and the Canadian Red Cross.

The attached next-door home was not damaged by the fire. Tracey said the occupants at that home were not home at the time.

No one was injured in the incident.

Ecology Ottawa volunteers are organizing a community meeting on the city’s plans to widen the Airport Parkway and potentially add a Walkley Road off-ramp.

The goal of the meeting is “to develop and plan strategies and actions to convince the City of Ottawa not to widen the Airport Parkway or add an off-ramp at Walkley Road,” Ecology Ottawa volunteer Bruce Rosove said in an email.

“The key item on our agenda is planning how we might influence

the decision and recommendations of the transportation committee regarding the project,” he wrote.

He added that it’s hoped city staff can be convinced to wait until after the O-Train Trillium Line is extended south to Bowesville Road near Riverside South.

“Our thinking is that the Trillium Line could very well alleviate the need for an expanded Airport Parkway,” Rosove said.

The public meeting is scheduled for Jan. 7, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., at the Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre, located at 3320 Paul Anka Dr.

The school’s art room, where he surrounds himself in his chosen medium of the day – graphite pencils, charcoal, sometimes coloured Conte pencils and, more recently, acrylic paint – and lets his creative talent take over.

The Grade 12 student at St. Patrick’s Catholic High School doesn’t worry if his friends wonder where he disappears to during lunch.

Nor do they know that he often heads to the art room early in the morning before classes even begin, to spend even more time honing his talent.

“I don’t tell them,” the 17-year-old says with a smile.

If they knew, they’d likely understand, since Israel’s artistic talents have garnered attention from family and friends, his longtime art

teacher, the school principal and others. Some have even paid him to do the portraits he has become known for.

“Israel really shows commitment to his work and you can see the passion’s there,” said Mirella Frost, head of the St. Pat’s art department, who has taught Israel art every year for the past four years.

Ozonwanji has also been uniquely using his creative abilities to earn the required 40 community service hours he needs to graduate from high school.

And it is the St. Patrick’s Home of Ottawa that is benefitting from that effort.

A year ago, Ozonwanji offered to draw portraits of some of the seniors who live there.

“I never had a student do that before, so this was a first,” Frost said of Ozonwanji’s idea. “Israel is ex-

tremely talented at drawing portraits.”

Ozonwanji grew up drawing superhero faces, such as Superman’s. His mother would take him to the library as a child and he would copy the covers of the books he saw, teaching himself how to draw faces in detail.

“That’s how it all started,” said Ozonwanji, a Hunt Club resident.

NATURAL TALENT

Frost recognized Ozonwanji’s natural talent when he first took her art class at St. Pat’s.

“When he started in Grade 9, I already saw that he was exceptional. There was something there,” she said.

But that inaugural year he almost dropped out of the art program to focus his energies on his academics in

response to his parents’ concern that he wasn’t focusing on his academics enough.

“They wanted me to pursue different careers, like engineering,” Ozonwanji recalled.

But he stuck with it and has continued to develop his skill.

“I’m very happy that he did,” Frost said. “Seeing what he’s accomplished over the years – it’s really rewarding and it’s definitely been a pleasure watching him grow as an artist.”

His parents have also come to admire his ability to bring subjects to life on paper. Ozonwanji’s mother even arranged for him to draw the portrait of the Nigerian ambassador to Canada a year ago through her work in the foreign service.

“They’re really impressed with what I’m doing,” he said with a small smile.

Since school resumed in September, he’s been focusing on creating four works, which he recently showcased during the school’s Christmas concert.

DIFFERENT MEDIUMS

Each work is reflective of his recent penchant to apply colour in different mediums to canvas and paper, demonstrating his versatility beyond his preferred choice to use a graphite pencil to craft realistic art works.

In one his recent works, he emulated the late American pop artist Andy Warhol’s style by using watercolour pencil to transform a blank piece of paper into something much more. The result surprised even himself. In another, he applied layers of acrylic paint to bring a tiger to life.

“Sometimes, I draw these

things and I don’t believe I did it myself,” he said.

Now that he is nearing graduation, he is trying to figure out a career path to pursue.

“I actually have a lot of ideas, but I’m not sure if I should use arts for my future career,” said Ozonwanji, who is considering careers in either industrial design or criminology.

“I’m trying to convince Israel that even if he doesn’t have a career in visual arts that he uses his talent throughout his life, and it’s something that will never not be a part of his life,” Frost said.

His gift should be nurtured, regardless if he chooses to use in to earn a living.

“There’s so many options out there,” Frost said.

Ozonwanji’s artwork can be viewed online on his Instagram account at izzye97.

City staff issue reminder after Industrial Ave. gets bus-only lane Staff

A new bus-only lane has been installed on Industrial Avenue, west of Sandford Fleming, prompting the city to remind motorists that buses should be given priority, allowing them to merge safely.

The right curbside lane on Industrial Avenue between Sandford Fleming Avenue and Riverside Drive is now just for buses, one of many dedicated bus lanes allowing public-transit vehicles to reach Highway 417.

“Bus traffic has increased in the area around the Canada Post mail processing plant with the recent closure of the Transitway bridge between Lees and Hurdman stations,” the city said in a recent statement.

“That closure has diverted many buses onto dedicated bus lanes on Highway 417 over the Rideau River.”

The city said that in order to get to the highway, buses

The cost of police-issued documents, from criminal record and background checks to collision reports, has increased as of Jan. 1.

Fees for these and other administrative reports are rising following the Ottawa Police Service Board’s approval of fee increases in the department’s 2016 budget.

“This decision was based on the fact that an increase in requests for records checks and other services had created a large gap between the cost of providing the services and the revenues generated,” police officials said in a recent statement.

“These changes are consistent with fees charged by other municipal police services in Ontario.”

Capital Catwalk to benefit regional cancer foundation “Basically, back four years ago when we started doing it, we really wanted to host a big event on campus,� the Kanata resident said. “And, as a team, we decided to do a fashion show because it was something most of us were interested in.�

That inaugural show in early 2013, put on by an all-female organizing team, drew 150 guests, mostly local designers and about 20 student models. It also generated $700 for charity. “When we did it the first time we didn’t know it was going to be an annual thing. We just did it for fun and we wanted to do a charitable event,� said Crego, who manages the magazine’s events and marketing team, while her co-editor-inchief and fellow Kanata resident, Lynn Chalati, focuses on the publication’s editorial operations.

As it turns out, there was demand for a fashion show repeat. “Most of the feedback we heard was that it was a unique event in the sense that there’d never been a fashion show on our campus before,� said Crego. “It was an excuse to get dressed up and listen to music.�

The runway event has since grown to feature a longer list of fashion brands and designs and an

organizing team made up of both males and females. Male models and signed models have also been added to the runway, as well as a Marketplace where event-goers can browse product lines.

of whom are readers of Her Campus magazine – which publishes student-written articles on everything from politics and campus life to health and fashion – it has also attracted an older crowd of young

“It’s really interesting to see, how, when you’re doing something fun and you’re getting people involved, you can actually make a difference.�

ZOĂ‹ CREGO, CO-EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, HER CAMPUS UOTTAWA

It has also given area companies the opportunity to broaden their customer base, connecting directly with university students. This year, Rent frock Repeat, which expanded from Toronto to Ottawa less than a year ago, will show off some of the designer dresses it rents out to the audience it would like to dress.

Designers this year will include Zarucci, Zargara, Julien George, Rebecca Rowe, Kristie Lance Designs, Julianne Buchholz and, new this year, Almonte-based Avenir Design Studios.

While the show remains popular with the university crowd, many

professionals. “We were getting an older demographic coming in, with a little bit more money, a little bit more sophistication, not just students looking for something to do that night,� said Crego.

Organizers are setting up their runway at the EY Centre, given their goal of attracting 800 guests – up from the 500 who gathered at the Shaw Centre last year, and the 300 who took in the second show at the National Arts Centre in late 2013.

Proceeds this year will once again support the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

“Last year, when we worked with the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, we really liked the foundation, we really loved the people that work there,� Crego said. “We just thought (about) how much good they do for the community.�

The Capital Catwalk is about fashion, and so much more. “Although the fashion show is really fun and exciting and extravagant, at the end of the show we always try to bring it back to the meaning,� Crego said, adding that at the 2014 fashion show, Mayor Jim Watson’s assistant and former uOttawa student, William Bulmer, took the stage to share his throat cancer survival story and the support he received from the foundation.

Over the past three years, the

Ottawa Valley Tours

show has generated about $15,000 for local charities and organizers this year are hoping to raise $10,000. “It’s really interesting to see, how, when you’re doing something fun and you’re getting people involved, you can actually make a difference,�

Crego said.

Refugees get warm welcome

R

efugees fleeing from the Syrian conflict and the brutality and terror of ISIS in Syria and Iraq are starting to arrive, and Canadians are showing their true colours as a caring and welcoming nation.

That spirit of caring and concern is certainly on display here in the nation’s capital. Numerous organizations and individual residents have been working diligently to not only say hello to our new neighbours, but have also been hard at work coming up with ways to make their transition into Canadian society as smooth as possible.

For example, Elmvale Acres sisters Maya, 7, and Clara Pepe, 9, collected almost 500 plush toys for their Stuffies for Syria campaign so that the stuffed toys can be passed on to Syrian refugees who eventually resettle in Ottawa. Or there’s east-end resident Betty Giffin, who is taking park in a nationwide effort through the Ottawa-based Kind Canada, to knit 25,000 scarves to help keep the new arrivals warm during their first Canadian winter. Ottawa residents have been very generous in trying to ease the way for the refugees to integrate into Canadian

society.

The City of Ottawa has held public forums on how to sponsor refugees, the Catholic Centre for Immigrants has been front and centre in helping co-ordinate services here, Refugee 613 is helping coordinate private sponsorships and the University of Ottawa has been very active as well, to just name a few of those who are rising to the challenge locally.

There are many others as well.

Back on Dec. 21, the province announced that about $1.33 million will be available to assist refugee resettlement in the Ottawa area, with the possibility of more funds in the future.

The government support is good and expected, but it is the individual efforts, such as the previously mentioned Stuffies for Syria campaign by two young children, and other efforts like it, that show the generosity that Ottawa residents have in their hearts when responding to the refugee crisis.

And that bodes well for how our community will absorb the refugees who will settle here, and how well the refugees will settle into our community and enrich our city in the future.

The consequences deliver, more or less

I

t was in 1953 that Pogo, the great philosopher, first uttered the words “We have met the enemy and he is us.� More than half a century later the words still ring true.

Not that we mean to be our own worst enemy. We are always trying to make things better and, in doing so, we sometimes make things worse.

The Law of Unintended Consequences is at play here, although many of the unintended consequences could be foreseen had we been forelooking.

We created the plastic bag for the convenience of folks at the supermarket. Now plastic bags clog the landfills and, in many parts of the Earth, mar the scenery. The oceans are full of discarded plastic objects that pose a severe threat to marine life. We didn’t intend any of that.

basic package or select – from the multitude of existing channels – a package that suits their needs, rather than receiving, as now, a number of channels they never look at.

That makes sense. Except: under the existing system, popular channels, such as sports, support less popular channels with which they are bundled. So the special-interest channel that appeals to you – say, a foreign-language channel or one devoted to old movies – survives courtesy of the people who want to watch more hockey or more entertainment news.

When the new system comes into effect, those specialty channels are in trouble, it appears from the carefully worded comments of the people who own them. The clear inference is that some of them might be shut down if not enough people choose them in the pick-and-pay process.

system that rewards the majority at the expense of the minority. Is that what we intended?

The irony is that the much-lauded 1,000-channel universe turns out to be something that people don’t want all that much, and that our demand for more choice could give us, in the end, less.

Resolve to lower the bar

T

he temptation to “make improvements” to our lives is ever provocative, especially when it comes to New Year’s resolutions. We want to be wealthier, healthier, kinder or more organized.

But when I think about radical change, I just feel bad that I’m not eating kale wraps for breakfast after my 5 a.m. yoga meditation, then eating homemade yogurt for lunch after commuting by winterized bike to work, which is mere blocks from my net zero home, which is mortgage-free.

To accomplish even one of those things would take all my focus, and doom me to failure.

My husband always talks about the value of the “ripping off the Band-Aid,” approach to things, but that just doesn’t work for me.

I’ve realized that by lowering the bar and introducing incremental, but manageable change, I’m much more likely to be successful, even if it takes seemingly forever.

Back in 2013, for example, I vowed I would learn to meditate. I tried a number of times over six months – I took courses, downloaded

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse videos, read books – and frankly I failed miserably.

It made me think my goal was too ambitious. What kind of person do you have to be to sit still for an hour and think about nothing anyway? Not me, evidently.

So about a year later, instead of meditation, I decided to look up various breathing techniques: some to help when I’m in the

. . .

midst of a stressful moment, others to relax me at the end of the day or when I’m about to embark on a big project.

I had more success here.

The great thing about breathing practice is that you can do it anywhere. It doesn’t require the focus of meditation, yet achieves some of the same results.

It took 18 months from the

Y BACK B

time I stated my goal to accepting failure and adapting to something more realistic – but I’m really good at controlled breathing now.

Improvement one.

Then there was the time I decided I would save my entire salary for a year. I crunched the numbers upside down and sideways and figured that maybe, possibly, we could be one of those rare families that could live happily on a single salary if we didn’t buy any gifts and ate a lot of beans. It turns out, we couldn’t.

I tried. I opened an esavings account and every time I cashed a cheque or received payment from a client, I’d throw everything in there. But then somebody needed emergency dental surgery, our insurance went up, our tent got a hole in it, the engine died in the car,

our daycare fees increased, we had to go on an extra visit to see family.

You name it; we needed money to cover it.

The offshoot effect, however, was that I still managed to save some money and get into the savings habit. Improvement two.

A friend in Vancouver is the only person I know who’s had a gym membership for nearly two decades straight – and one that she uses every week. Why? She tells herself that she only has to go to the gym two times per week. Anything extra is a bonus. So rather than commit to a lofty goal, she’s been able to stick to something reasonable.

I recently joined a gym for the first time, nearly a

year to the day after I first established the goal to exercise daily. Although I do get there most days – generally five out of seven – I try not to beat myself up on the days I can’t make it.

I think about my friend in Vancouver, and I think about going to the gym twice a week is better than not going for my physical and mental health. It’s been 12 weeks and I’m still into it! Improvement three.

So make resolutions if you must, but don’t be too hard on yourself. Past performance, they say in human resources, is often indicative of future performance. Try something new; try lowering the bar a little.

Eventually, you’ll get there, one baby step at a time.

No more front-desk services at Leitrim, Greenbank police stations Decision made ahead of big changes to both stations, opening of Barrhaven station Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

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

The front-desk closures mean residents won’t be able to go there for background checks, which accounted for 80 per cent of the officers’ workload.

“When we did the workload analysis it was very, very apparent that we have sworn members there that we weren’t making the best use of,” said acting Supt.

Samir Bhatnagar, who is

responsible for the Ottawa police district directorate, which includes front-desk services.

“It’s all about making the best use of our resources.

And to have sworn members at those two locations … processing background checks wasn’t the best use of their resources.”

They will be redeployed to other police stations.

The move echoes similar changes at other policing organizations, such as the Kingston Police Service, which recently closed its front-desk services to the public after 9 p.m., Bhatnagar said.

DEMOLISHING GREENBANK

As well, the redeployments are being made in anticipation of plans to tear down and build a new Nepean police building, and turn the Leitrim station back over to the city.

Identified in the 2013 police facilities strategic

plan, demolition of the Greenbank station, at 245 Greenbank Rd. in Nepean, is scheduled to take place sometime after staff move out in 2021, though that hinges on when a new south station in Barrhaven will be constructed.

“A lot of people in that building would go to south,” said Pamela Mills, director of police facilities, adding the majority of the Barrhaven staff would likely be relocated to that cityowned property on Lodge Road, off Prince of Wales Drive, by 2021.

Construction of a new Greenbank station is expected to be completed in 2025.

“With Greenbank Road, there’s a lot of issues with that building. It wasn’t meant to last this long,” said Bhatnagar, who oversees several policing units, including neighbourhood, community police and school resource officers, the youth section, general assignment investigations and

Beginning this month, Hydro Ottawa will be reconstructing an underground cable chamber located in front of Whole Foods near TD Place on Bank Street. The project is expected to take four weeks to complete.

Front-desk services at the Leitrim police station, located just north of Findlay Creek at 4561 Bank St., will be permanently closed to the public as of Jan. 8. The change, which will free up sworn officers, is also being made ahead of plans to move staff to a future Barrhaven station and turn the Leitrim building back over to the city in 2021. the break-and-enter and street-crime units.

“It’s not suitable for the way we work today and the building itself is past its lifecycle,” Mills said.

The condition of the building is also an issue.

Ottawa police have long said there are problems with the heating, ventilation and plumbing systems, and that to renovate the facility, which dates back to the 1970s, would cost tens of millions of dollars.

The new Greenbank Road facility is expected to be ideal as a new base for consolidated corporate police services, including legal counsel, finance, records, human resources and the support services directorate.

These are currently located in a number of leased spaces in the city, such as on Fairmont Avenue in Hintonburg, Bhatnagar said.

HANDING OVER THE KEYS OF LEITRIM

The Leitrim station at 4561 Bank St. was to have been returned to the city in 2020, but that has been pushed to 2021 because of a reduced 2016 facilities reserve fund.

“We are getting less than

we expected to get,” Mills said.

The bottom line is that Ottawa police have outgrown that site, though it did undergo an extension and some reworking over the years, she added.

before it was replaced in the ’70s, he said.

“Based on the requirements that we have and our needs across the city, it doesn’t meet our needs,” Mills said.

NEW SOUTH BARRHAVEN POLICE STATION

“It’s all about making the best use of our resources.

And to have sworn members at those two locations … processing background checks wasn’t the best use of their resources.”

ACTING SUPT. SAMIR BHATNAGAR, OTTAWA POLICE SERVICE

The site was home to a one-room schoolhouse since at least the 1850s, and then a four-room schoolhouse until that was torn down in the 1960s, said Glenn Clark, president of the nearby Gloucester Historical Society The property housed the Gloucester police station

It will be sometime in 2016 when Mills expects to hear back on construction timelines and other project details for the new southend station in southern Barrhaven, currently estimated to cost $64.8 million.

It will be home base to several units, including district and patrol operations, emergency operations personnel, including the tactical and marine, dive and trails units, district traffic, as well as the department’s communications centre.

The new station will also offer front-desk services and collision reporting, similar to the Huntmar Drive station in Kanata.

“It is for improved deployment,” Mills said, referring to the location of the new site. “It’s all very strategic how they locate stations ... (and) how they deploy resources.”

See CLOSING, page 11

Closing public access to free up uniformed officers: Supt.

Continued from page 10

The facilities plan is also designed to respond to population growth in the south end of the city, in areas like Barrhaven and Riverside South.

“It’s really all about streamlining operations and the efficiency of the service, as well as appropriately placing it in the community where it’s needed,” Mills said. “It’s all to represent more efficient operations, which always leads to more cost savings.”

When asked how much money it could save, the director couldn’t provide a dollar figure, but said, “It certainly represents value for the city otherwise we wouldn’t be doing it.”

The health and safety of officers and staff also factored into the decision to close front-desk services at Leitrim and Greenbank.

Because of the changes coming to both sites, it was decided not to improve the front-desk areas of those buildings, saving $140,000

for Leitrim and $132,000 at Greenbank.

“It’s hard to justify that investment,” Bhatnagar said, adding that stations in Kanata and Orléans, at the Elgin Street headquarters and another site at Queensview Drive have seen more than $300,000 in upgrades.

“It’s really all about streamlining operations and the efficiency of the service ...”

PAMELA MILLS, DIRECTOR OF POLICE FACILITIES

services a little better at the other four locations because right away the two bodies are going to go there,” Bhatnagar said.

Their redeployment comes as a result of the organization’s ongoing service initiative, which is being done to enhance policing services, create efficiencies and develop a sustainable policing model, as well as relieve pressure on front-line patrol officers amid budget constraints, Bhatnagar said.

“Absolutely everything has been impacted for quite some time,” he said, from deployments to vacation schedules.

“Hopefully, this decision will help alleviate some of those issues. Every officer helps.”

HOURS AND SERVICES

Closing public access to the front desks will free up the equivalent of 2.85 full-time staff, since the officers were relieved by other staff during vacations and sick leave.

“It does enhance our ability to operate our other front-line

Police are now turning to the public for help in identifying four masked suspects who targeted a jewelry store at the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre on Jan. 4 around 8:30 p.m.

“One of the suspects carried a large sledgehammer and began to break a number of display cases,” Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the robbery unit, said in

a statement on Jan. 5. “The remaining suspects grabbed varying jewelry from the cases and the group fled into the mall.”

A fifth suspect may have been waiting outside in a vehicle, he told Metroland Media.

Investigators are also looking to identify three masked suspects they say are responsible for a smash-and-grab at a jewellery store at the Carlingwood Shopping Centre on Dec. 23 around 6:20 p.m.

“The suspects proceeded to smash a number of display cases and fled the premises

with an undisclosed quantity of varying jewelry,” Haarbosch said.

One of the suspects was wielding a sledgehammer, he added.

During that incident, shoppers were sent into a panic after mistakenly believing the sound of the glass cases being shattered was gunshots.

No one was injured in either incident.

“People hanging around outside the store or somebody coming in and asking questions or to see jewelry potentially, but not make a purchase,” said Haarbosch.

“People who just seem out of place in that type of a store.”

Police may be releasing images of the suspects in both cases in the coming days, as well as descriptions of what they were wearing at the time of the incidents.

“They are fairly well disguised,” he said, adding this

is why the suspects are only described as black males, between 18 and 22 years old.

When asked to describe the masks worn by the suspects, Haarbosch said they used clothing to cover their faces, such as hooded sweatshirts and scarves, for example.

Anyone with information on these robberies is asked to call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116. To report anonymous tips, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

them are related,” Haarbosch said, noting that investigators believe the same suspects are “likely” responsible for both crimes due to the way they were carried out.

“We haven’t had many of these and we’ve had two in less than two weeks carried out in much the same fashion,” he said, adding that he can only recall one other smash-and-grab jewelry store robbery that occurred in Ottawa in 2015. That crime took place at the Hazeldean Mall in Kanata in July.

The province is calling on individuals representing non-incorporated seniors groups, incorporated not-for profit organizations, municipalities, Local Service Boards and Aboriginal groups to submit an application between November 30, 2015 and March 4, 2016. Grants have previously been awarded to projects that help seniors learn new skills like healthy cooking, personal safety, social media, cultural dance and tai chi. This year, applications for projects aimed at the planning and promotion of Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017 will also be considered.

Alta Vista Drive has been the transportation spine for the popular neighbourhood with the same name since its inception, but few remember how it came to be or its original name.

For more than 100 years, a large tract of land facing the Rideau River was owned by the Billings family. Their estate house, named Park Hill, has dominated the hilltop near Billings Bridge since 1829 and is now a National Historic Site. Braddish Billings was the first permanent settler of the former Gloucester township.

The Great Depression of the 1930s was a time of poverty in Ottawa, particularly on the fringes in Gloucester

and Nepean townships. The worst had passed by 1937 and Gloucester was beginning to experience a ‘mini-boom.’

Roger Billings approached Gloucester council with a scheme that would develop 809 hectares, including Billings and township properties.

A road was needed to open up the land and it was soon called the ‘100 foot highway,’ which refers to the width of the road allowance.

On May 3, 1937, a bylaw was passed allowing the construction of this road through Rideau Park. The plan was soon extended to cross the entire Billings property from, what was then called Smith Road, to Kilborn Avenue.

Construction began in 1939 and was extended to Randall Avenue in 1940.

Churchill Drive became Alta Vista Drive after area annexed by Ottawa Continued from page 14

The (Alta Vista) name remained on the books and was immortalized for a street that was not even part of the original subdivision plan.

The completion of Churchill Drive to Metcalfe Road (Bank Street) was deferred for the remainder of the war but was quickly res-

urrected at a council meeting on Oct. 1, 1945. This final phase opened in late 1947.

On Jan. 1, 1950, the area was annexed by the City of Ottawa. There was already a Churchill Avenue in the city and it became necessary to rename Churchill Drive. The new name, Alta Vista Drive, was approved in July of the same year.

But where did the Alta Vista name come from?

It was the marketing name for a 1913 subdivision on the north side of Randall Avenue. It included the highest point of land that later became the location of the Alta Vista water tower. Wouldn’t you buy a lot with an ‘alta vista,’ meaning a ‘high view,’

of the City of Ottawa and the Parliament Buildings?

Apparently not many did, as the 1913 plan failed and the land reverted to Gloucester township for tax arrears.

In spite of this failure, the name remained on the books and was immortalized for a street that was not even part of the original subdivision plan.

The Suburban Roads Commission further proposed that 4th Street be linked to the ‘100-foot highway’ while the federal government acquired land along Smith Road for a rehabilitation centre, which later became known as the Rideau Veteran’s Home. The link to Smith Road was completed in 1942 and the Rideau Health and Occupational Centre opened in phases starting in January 1944.

Meanwhile, Gloucester council realized that their new road needed a name.

At a Sept. 17, 1941 council meeting, Churchill Drive was proposed in honour of

then-British prime minister Winston Churchill.

Province pledges support for Ottawa refugees More funding could be announced in New Year Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

The organizations assisting in the resettlement of Syrian refugees were given a helping hand from the Ontario government just before Christmas.

Of the $5.5 million the province has allocated to assisting in the support of arriving refugees, $1.33 million will be headed to Ottawa.

In total, the province has committed to allocating $8.5 million over the next twoand-a-half years, meaning more announcements will come in the New Year.

The first round of funds will support key areas of the resettlement process, which

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi announces $1.33 million in provincial funds to assist in the settlement of Syrian refugees in the Ottawa area on Dec. 21. He is joined by OttawaVanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur and Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde. is already underway now that the first planeloads of new Canadians have arrived from refugee camps in Turkey and Jordan.

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said, “$800,000 will

go to the Catholic Centre for Immigrants (CCI), who will be co-ordinating settlement services for refugees.”

The remaining money will be split between Refugee613 and the University of Ottawa

refugee sponsorship support program.

The CCI will deliver case management and housing support while referring refugees to local agencies to deal with other needs.

Refugee 613 is co-ordinating private sponsorships and helping integrate arriving refugees, while the University of Ottawa’s program will train lawyers and law students to provide legal support for the preparation of sponsorship applications.

“The Catholic Centre for Immigrants applauds the province for providing this early funding to help us scale up settlement services,” said Carl Nicholson, executive director of CCI. “Integration happens in our community on the ground. While we are working hard with our partners to help receive refugees in Ottawa, we must focus on the long-term integration of these newcomers in our community. This includes working with our partners to ensure proper language, employment and housing supports to build networks and succeed.”

More ground-level collaboration takes place at the Special Advisory Table on

Refugees, of which Naqvi is a member.

Naqvi said the process of settling an expected 800 to 1,000 refugees in Ottawa over the coming year is an effort requiring participation at all levels.

“Privately sponsored refugees … will also be using settlement services: literacy help, training, health services,” he said. “The federal government is providing support for initial accommodation and services (among the rest). A lot of work is happening at the provincial level – children coming into the school system, primary health care, mental health services, literary services – we’re looking at how we can boost them up to accommodate the need.”

An analysis of what longterm supports will be needed will occur once the initial effort to house and acclimatize the refugees is complete. This is needed to ensure long-term success for the new citizens, said Naqvi.

New laws greet Ontarians in 2016 Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

JANUARY

By Jim Watson

With the New Year underway, Ontario residents are being reminded to adjust their behaviour in light of new laws that came into effect on Jan. 1.

Public safety lies behind several of the new rules and regulations.

2016 promises to be a big year in our city and before embarking on a year of important work to build a better Ottawa, I wanted to take a look back on the year we have just left behind.

October of 2015 brought with it Council’s one year anniversary since our election as well as the 5 year anniversary since my election as Mayor in 2010. Your continued support remains an honour which I never take for granted and I am committed to working hard to maintain your trust moving forward.

New laws regarding vaping – the smoking of electronic cigarettes – One of our guiding principles as a Council this past year – as are expected early in 2016. it has been in the 4 that preceded it- is to find the balance discount.

SMOKING

The sale of e-cigarettes and flavoured tobacco to minors under the age of 19 was also banned under the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, with increased fines for those caught doing so.

In a sweeping move, smoking will be banned altogether on the grounds of hospitals and psychiatric facilities.

New laws regarding vaping – the smoking of electronic cigarettes – are expected early in 2016. A planned ban on vaping in all public areas covered by existing smoking laws was placed on hold as the province sought to clarify their position on marijuana vaporizers in public places.

Until that law is formed, employers and business owners will be allowed to dictate their own rules on

With a 2% tax increase – consistent ment charge will be dropped from to what I promised in the 2014 election – we continued record residential bills, saving users about investments in social housing, arts, cycling, roads (both urban $70 a year per household. However, and rural), and sidewalks.

Businesses will continue paying the charge for another two years.

Customers in low-income brackets will become eligible for a break on their bills through the Ontario Electricity Support Program. The program will be paid for through a line item on remaining users’ bills, which will total about an extra dollar a month for an average household.

Potential recipients of the benefit will need to submit an application to the province in order to qualify.

On the roads, motorists are now required to stop at pedestrian crossings (with overhead lights) until the pedestrian has fully crossed to the other side of the road. The same law applies to marked school crossings and unmarked ones with crossing guards.

Motorists will be banned from overtaking another vehicle stopped at a crossover.

For those on foot wanting to cross the road, they will be prohibited from entering a pedestrian crossover if an approaching vehicle is so close it cannot stop.

Motorists will face a $150 to $500 fine if caught breaking the law, with the added deterrent of three demerit points.

Another amendment to the Highway Traffic Act has allowed municipalities to target out-ofprovince drivers who run red lights.

Notices can now be mailed to those motorists, and revenue collected.

Before the amendment, cities like Ottawa were forbidden from collecting from motorists whose cars carry out-of-province plates.

Another regulation taking effect would serve to potentially save drivers money.

Insurance companies will be required to offer discounts on coverage if a motorist installs winter tires.

Before this, only about half of insurers offered their customers a

Mayor’s Report

2015 saw important milestones reached as the first phase of LRT continues to be built on-time and on-budget. 2015 also brought with it commitments from the two other levels of government to fund second phase of LRT which will see extensions east to Place d’Orleans, south the Riverside South, and West to Bayshore and Baseline at Algonquin College. We have never been closer to being a city fully connected by LRT and I am looking forward to finishing the work needed to realize this in the coming years.

2015 was an incredible year for sports in Ottawa. First, our city was swept up by the excitement of the Senators improbable run to the playoffs. Second, our new professional baseball team, the Ottawa Champions, took the field for their inaugural season. Third, our Ottawa Fury soccer team made it all the way to the NASL championship game after a great season. Finally, our Ottawa REDBLACKS made it to the Grey Cup after a late touchdown in the Eastern Final that few will forget. Our team may have fallen short in that final game but they made our city proud and I join many in anxiously awaiting next year’s season.

I hope that you have all been able to spend time with your families over the holidays and I look forward to continuing to serve as your Mayor in 2016.

(7 mL) each coriander seeds and black peppercorns 1 tbsp. (15 mL) each fish

sauce and sodium-reduced soy sauce 8 oz. (250 g) boneless sirloin steak or beef filet 8 oz. (250 g) thin rice stick noodles TOPPINGS

1 cup (250 mL) thinly shredded savoy cabbage 1/3 cup (75 mL) each coriander, mint and Thai basil (or regular basil) leaves, torn Fish sauce or soy sauce Fresh lime juice Hot sauce (such as sriracha or sambal oelek) PREPARATION

In large pot, bring 8 cups (2 L) of water and beef bones to boil, skimming off any foam with slotted spoon. Add beef broth, garlic, onions, lemongrass, ginger, carrot, anise, coriander seeds and peppercorns. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for about 2-1/2 hours, stirring

Happiness helped warm the heart during a cold winter’s day

W

hile in the depth of winter, I expected the barns to be bitterly cold inside. But I was always amazed at how warm the cow byre was when the temperatures dipped well below zero.

Certainly, there was no stove in there to take off the chill.

It seems to me now, so many years later, that our fall days were numbered. It felt like we went from crisp days, certainly not freezing cold, and then right into seeing mounds of snow that soon covered the 20 acre field and all but closed in our long lane leading to the Northcote Side Road.

When Father was sure the snow was here to stay, he piled mounds of it all around the base of our old log house in the hope it would help cut out some of the chill that seeped inside.

There was no foundation

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories and no cellar, and it didn’t matter how much snow Father stacked around the house, our feet in the winter, were always cold.

He did the same thing around the barn. It would take him days. I often wondered if he would finish before spring came.

But by the time the winter had really settled in, the outside of the barn would have snow piled and packed around its base, just like our log house across the yard.

And I would think that was why the cow byre was always so warm inside when it was so cold outside.

But Father, one day explained to me what helped make the barn so cozy.

It was after the milking was done, the separating finished, and everything washed and cleaned away.

This was the time of day I liked being in the cow byre. I never tired of watching the barn cats sitting in the middle of the barn, waiting for what they knew was coming. Every few minutes or so, one of the brothers would aim for a cat’s open mouth, spraying a gush of warm milk their way. They knew more would be coming, and so they sat, sometimes taking

the full brunt of the spray all over their faces, and that would send me into fits of laughing.

The boys were heading for the house, and Father held back. “You wonder why the byre is warm in the winter, now do ya?” And he took my hand and walked me over to Bess, the most gentle of the entire herd.

He told me to put my hand on her flanks. I was reluctant, as I was always a bit frightened of the cows – so big – and never did they respond to any kind gesture I made towards them. Not like the sheep or the horses.

And so I held back. So Father took my hand and pulled it towards Bess.

Her hide was warm to the touch. Almost like it had been heated with a hot water bottle, or the bricks we used in our beds at night to warm the sheets before we crawled between the feather tickings.

“She is so warm,” I said in amazement. And Father said all the animals in the barn were the same. The horses too, were warm to the touch, he told me.

And together they gave off this wonderful heat that filled the cow byre and made it fit for the cold winter nights in Renfrew County. And I thought, they all had their own little “stoves” on their bodies.

How else could the barn be so warm?

All the way over to the house I thought of what I had just learned. And once again, even though I was much too young to fully understand or appreciate what happened to make our livestock give off enough heat to keep them warm when fall changed to winter, I thought it must be just another miracle.

Just like all the others that happened every day around me. Like the miracle

of milk changing to cream, and cream changing to butter, how there was always enough to eat even though the Depression raged around us, and how there was always a neighbour around to give us help when we needed it.

Yes, I thought, a warm barn, in the dead of winter, with the wind howling around us, was surely just another miracle of the Ottawa Valley. I fell asleep thinking of what I had learned, my head filled with what Father had just shown me, and a deep feeling of utter contentment, and a happiness that warmed me deep inside.

Former Avalon teacher sentenced to jail brier.dodge@metroland.com

Phillip Nolan, a former Avalon Public School teacher and once the drummer in former prime minister Stephen Harper’s rock band, was sentenced on Jan. 4 after pleading guilty to sexual interference charges.

According to the Canadian Press, Nolan was sentenced to two years in jail.

Nolan was charged in February 2014 with five counts each of sexual assault, sexual interference and sexual exploitation of a minor. The charges did not relate to his time as a teacher at Avalon.

At that time, restrictions put on Nolan by a judge as a part of his bail conditions meant

Nolan came under investigated in November 2013 after complaints surfaced about sexual assaults while he was teaching Grade 7 and 8 between 1998 and 2000 at a different education facility.

Local teams rise to the top as Bell Capital Cup ends Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Ottawa’s international atom and peewee hockey tournament, the Bell Capital Cup, wrapped up on Jan. 2 with local teams finishing first in 10 of 18 divisions.

The tournament, which

included 262 teams playing 564 games on 23 ice surfaces across the city, ended at the Canadian Tire Centre where 18 final games were played.

Along with the winners in the various divisions, the Bill Patterson Trophy, named after a CJOH-TV sportscaster and amateur sports booster,

was awarded to the Stittsville Rams (Minor Atom A) and Nepean Fireballs (Atom House B) for their fair play and sportsmanship.

Coaches from those two teams will select a player from each team to receive the Ottawa Senators Summer Hockey Camps scholarship to receive

a week of on-ice instruction.

This year, the tournament added a special hockey division for players with disabilities, with 14 special hockey games being played.

“This will really give us something to build on for the next year,” said the tournament’s general manager, Scott Lawryk.

A highlight for Lawryk is taking in the final games on Canadian Tire Centre ice, he said.

“It’s fun to watch teams step onto the ice and look up at the size of the building and realize they are on the same ice as many of their heroes have played on,” said Lawryk.

The Atom House A finals and Atom House B finals were separated by a Sens practice, with the young players greeting the team.

“They were hanging over the railing high-fiving the players and coaches as they hit the ice,” said Lawryk.

But competitive spirits quickly took over as Bell Capital Cup play resumed, he said.

Asked what he though of local teams doing so well in the tournament, Lawryk said 10 local teams making it to the top isn’t out of the ordinary.

“It just goes to show that out-of-town teams traveling to the tournament will have some great competition to face.”

Teams from Europe and the United States participated along with teams from across Canada.

Pet Adoptions

ELOISE (ID# A183044)

Meet Eloise (ID# A183044), a sweet and loving girl looking for her purr-fect match. Eloise is a gentle brown and white tabby who loves to curl up in her favourite cozy spots for a snooze. She’d like a new home with a big window where she can watch the world go by. Eloise would prefer a quiet, relaxed home. She is a curious girl who would enjoy lots of space to explore her new surroundings. Could Eloise be you’re new best friend?

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

Microchipping: Your pet’s way of telling who they are and where they live

0107.R0013613581

Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean the difference between never seeing your lost pet again and having her returned safely to you.

A microchip provides a permanent means of pet identification. Each grain-sized microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found.

Microchips will not fade or be lost over time.

Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet.

While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet.

The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics with the next one coming up on Jan. 10, 2016. The cost is $50 — a small price to pay for a lifetime of security.

Dates for upcoming OHS microchip clinics can be found at: www.ottawahumane.ca/microchip. For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221 or e-mail microchip@ottawahumane.ca.

Hampton Park astronomer Mark Narwa gave the gift of the stars to Ottawa residents.

The long-time amateur astronomer decided to donate the equipment when most people are busy buying gifts for family and friends.

His brother Daniel, who is also an amateur astronomer, said the gift will be part of the Imagine Space at the Nepean Centrepointe library.

The Imagine Space, an idea developed in partnership with the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa and the OPL, will be a maker space, with tools and technologies that allow library card-holders to test out items before buying one of their own.

One of the most commonly used items is the three-dimensional printer.

The spaces also allow users to experiment and create in a public setting.

The concept is not new.

It originated in New Hampshire and quickly expended to other libraries across the U.S. The Centrepointe space is currently closed for renovations – it will grow from its original size of 39 square metres to 74 square metres.

“You can borrow it just like you would a library book. It’s got the manuals and everything you need to get started.”

Nearly doubling the size, with a construction cost of $85,000.

Daniel said the library hoped to have a public launch for use of the telescope by early spring.

“You can borrow it just like you would a library book,” he said. “It’s got the manuals and everything you need to get started.”

Mark said he hopes the project will take off and lead to a need for more telescopes – including a sun scope.

Mark owns and operates AMeN Observatory in the west-end neighbourhood of Hampton Park.

Daniel – who also does some work with the observatory, said with the prevalence of technology, more people are becoming interested in the night sky.

“We are very excited for the launch,” Daniel said.

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

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, practicality is a big part of your personality, but sometimes thinking through the reasons to do something over and over can be tedious. Let loose a little bit this week.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, expect to feel pulled in two directions this week. It’s a pivotal time at work, but in the same measure, you have much going on at home.

Think things over carefully.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may find your energy levels unusually low this week, and your productivity may suffer as a result. Maybe someone else can energize you a bit and lend a helping hand.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you will get to your destination soon enough, but the trip may be a bit of a headache. Patience is essential this week; otherwise, you may give up prematurely.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Misinformation is spreading, so research everything to make informed decisions this week, Leo. It may help you avoid an expensive mistake down the line.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may have a wonderful time with family or friends this week, even if you are crunched for time. Savor the small moments as they come your way.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you will be missed as much as you miss another person this week. Wait out this separation a little while longer, keeping in mind that your reunion is on its way.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Do whatever you need to do to rejuvenate your spirit, Sagittarius. Spend some more time with friends and avoid prolonged solo activities. Soon your motivation will return.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, this may turn out to be a strange week, as you can’t seem to fully focus on anything. You may get frustrated at your inability to concentrate, but that focus will return soon.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, if you become too wrapped up in business or personal obligations, take a step back and reevaluate your priorities. Some things need to be rearranged.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you are on a quest this week to find the perfect gift for a friend.

This person will appreciate your efforts, and your bond will only grow stronger.
