Please Note:
News – A new general manager has been hired to lead the Recreation Association of the Public Service of Canada. Tosha Rhodenizer will helm the association, which manages the RA Centre, the largest private not-forprofit recreation and leisure facility in Ottawa which serves thousands of members, the association recently announced. In touting Rhodenizer’s experience in facilities management, program development, fundraising and not-for-profit management, Diana Monnet, president of the association’s board of directors said, “The RA is tremendously happy to have been able to bring in Ms. Rhodenizer to lead our historic association. “Our next GM had to have the skills and abilities to lead the RA strategically and inspirationally. The board of directors is confident that Ms. Rhodenizer brings the right mix of skills, entrepreneurial spirit and experience as leader.” Rhodenizer most recently worked for seven years at the National Capital Region YMCA-YWCA. While there, she worked as vicepresident of health, wellness and family engagement and was responsible for operational and strategic leadership of health, fitness and recreation facilities and programs, licensed and unlicensed childcare and residential and day-camp operations.
Her accomplishments there included managing the Taggart and Ruddy Family Y’s $31.5-million capital improvement project. And she designed a campaign to fund the new Carlingwood Y. She also was instrumental in the development of the Y Kids Academy, said to be the first initiative of its kind in Canada, which saw the enrollment of more than 1,800 Grade 6 students within three years in the program that encourages them and their families to lead more active and healthier lives. Prior to that role, she served as general manager of the Ray Friel Recreation Complex in the east end of the city. Her resume also includes work as a professor of human resource management in the faculty of business at the Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business. Rhodenizer said in the statement she is looking forward to working with the association’s members and staff. “With the region’s most diverse portfolio of sport, recreation and fitness activities, it is important for us to continue to provide quality programming and ensure that the RA’s impact in the community and with members is built on a solid foundation,” she said. The RA Centre, located at 245 Riverside Dr., offers fitness programs, adult sport leagues, youth summer camps and clubs for all ages, and features a restaurant and conference rooms.
Second World War veteran recalls ‘a lot of close calls’ News - Robert Henley gently turns the black paper pages of his photo album, and fondly thumbs the sepia-toned images that are as clear as his memories of the Second World War. “That’s an airplane smashed. You saw lots of those,” he said. Images of downed planes, burned fuelling trucks, barren streets of war-torn Paris, France and emaciated bodies of concentration camp victims depict some of the nightmares Henley witnessed. But there were also happy times, evident in the smiles that spread across the faces of Henley and his fellow fresh-faced young airmen staring out from the photographs. “I was not supposed to (have a camera), but I did. I had it sent (by my mother) in a food box,” he said. The 94-year-old, who moved into the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre with his wife Terri earlier this year, left his family’s wheat and cattle farm in Harris, Sask. outside Saskatoon to join the air force at 19 in 1939. Like the other dozen veterans who were invested into the Order of St. George at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre on Monday in recognition of their service to Canada, Henley saw the horrors of war as a young man in his 20s. He lost friends in the fighting.

Museums’ artifact collections now online Staff
News – ‘Priceless’ Canadian scientific and technological artifacts are now just a mouse click away. Data on the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation’s collection and operations are now available on the federal government’s new open data portal: data.gc.ca, as well as through the corporation’s data portal at data.techno-science.ca. In joining the Open Data movement, the corporation is looking to support open science and open government, it said on its portal. “With more than 100,000 artifacts in the collection, highlighting Canadian achievements in science and technology over the past 150 years, the museums’ challenge is sharing these fascinating artifacts with as many Canadians as possible,” the corporation said. “The government of Canada’s Open Data initiative provides a useful and accessible way of sharing the collection with everybody.” See FEDERAL, page 5

Federal government looks to spur innovation with Open Data Continued from page 4
“The national collection of artifacts under the custody of the (corporation) really belongs to all Canadians,” Alex Benay, the corporation’s president and chief executive officer, said in a statement on Oct. 28. “By using the latest information technology tools at their disposal, Canadians can now devise a variety of ways of using the data about their national artifact collection at their leisure. The data being made available centres around the artifacts
in the collections of the Canada Science and Technology Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum and the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum. Available artifact data on the portal ranges from firefighting to bookbinding and from astronomy to photography. “Now that technology affords such possibilities, it is perfectly logical that Canadians have full access to the data about their collection of priceless and technology artifacts.” The initiative is part of the federal government’s commit-
ment to the Open Data movement nationally and internationally, Tony Clement, president of the Treasury Board, said in a statement. “Open Data is a global phenomenon that holds incredible opportunity to spur innovation and economic growth and improvement the lives of everyday citizens,” he said. The corporation invites anyone who makes a discovery or creates “new and unanticipated applications” with the open data to email collection@technomuses.ca.

Founded in 1974, The Famous PEOPLE Players’ company was built with the belief that the disabled must be integrated into society. Based on the spirit of personal development and team achievement, the production began
with a theatrical blacklight show in Toronto that was a feast for the eyes. Liberace attended a showing of their original show, Aruba Liberace, and was so impressed he invited Famous People Players to perform with him in Las Vegas. Famous People Players opened in Las Vegas in October 1975; over the subsequent ten years, the company performed with Liberace internationally resulting in a CBC produced documentary, Carnival of the Animals, and a 1984 CBS movie-of-the-week entitled Special People.
On Friday Nov. 14, Famous PEOPLE Players brings their Good Old Rock and Roll show to Centrepointe Theatres. Creatures of every shape and size will rock and roll with larger than life characters, props, creatures, costumes and sets. Patrons of any age are sure to be inspired and delighted.
“Their talents are resplendent and the show is uniquely original ... allow me to be your newest fan.” — Steven Spielberg “A stage event so extraordinary you would have to experience it to understand it.” — Paul Newman (Brock Centre for the Arts) “This is class ... first class ...

Hunt Club artist’s painting offers tribute to slain soldier Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - With paintbrush in hand, Katerina Mertikas was in the midst of creating one of her trademark colourful paintings when news broke that a soldier had been shot at the National War Memorial in downtown Ottawa. When word came later in the afternoon on Oct. 22 that Cpl. Nathan Cirillo had not survived after being shot by lone gunman Michael ZehafBibeau, Mertikas grabbed a blank canvas and let her emotions pour through her brush. By 11 a.m. the next morning, as Canadians were still trying to come to grips with the attack on the Canadian Armed Forces reservist, Mertikas had painted five-yearold Marcus Cirillo saluting his father standing in uniform nearby in front of the National War Memorial. The painting is aptly named, “Honouring My Father.” Mertikas said she was very emotional as she painted the colourful images, which include the Parliament buildings and the Chateau Laurier. The Upper Hunt Club artist is known for depicting poignant childhood scenes awash in vibrant colours. “I thought, ‘What would my children do?’ I would salute my father,” Mertikas said
of her inspiration. “I thought, it was just an unprovoked thing,” she recalled. “It was awful. You don’t need thousands of deaths to feel. This one death touched us. It was just tragic, unnecessary, cold.” Her husband took a picture of her artwork and posted it on Mertikas’ Facebook page. It was shared about 300 times. As word spread about the tribute painting, she was contacted by former Ottawa mayor Jacqueline Holzman, who met with Mertikas and Terry Koyman, owner of Koyman Galleries, where Mertikas’ works are sold. Proceeds from the sale of each $124 print of the painting will go to the Marcus Cirillo Trust Fund. The last two digits of the price tag were chosen to reflect Cirillo’s age when he passed away. “That man was 24, just on the verge of his life,” Mertikas said. An image of the painting was posted on Koyman Galleries’ website the evening of Oct. 30. By the next morning, more than 30 prints had already been ordered. The reaction to her painting and the support she has received have been so overwhelming and exciting for Mertikas that she couldn’t concentrate enough to paint last Friday, even though she

Upper Hunt Club artist Katerina Mertikas said she was immediately inspired to paint after hearing about Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s death, and is hoping to raise money for a trust fund for Marcus by selling prints of the painting. typically paints every day. “I can’t believe it. I don’t know what to say,” she said. “People were touched by this. It’s not just about the painting. It’s the idea behind the paint-
ing. It’s the son. “A lot of people want to be part of something.” Mertikas is also working with the mayor’s office and plans are in the works to deter-
mine where the original painting will be displayed, possibly at city hall. A suggestion has also been made to present the first print of the painting to Marcus.
“It’s taken on a life of its own,” Mertikas said of the painting. To view or purchase Mertikas’ painting, visit koyman galleries.com.

Kids and sports – too much, too soon
W
hen my kids roll in the door after school at 3 p.m., they have a single mission: Go outside and play. Homework, music practice, television, even snacks take a backseat to the basketball net in the driveway and the soccer ball in the grass. Over the past six years or so, I’ve signed them up for everything from ice hockey and swimming lessons, to soccer, basketball and gymnastics. But last year, after spending so much money, and seeing very little interest, I stopped registering them for things. I was sick of fighting with them. In the back of my head, this triggered panic. I watched their peers running from the hockey arena to the pool to dance class three times per week. What if, by relenting to their request that they “didn’t want to sign up for anything,� I was somehow sacrificing their sporting future? But here’s the thing, my boys – now eight and nine-years-old – are among the healthiest I know. And they love sports. They spend the bulk of their free time kicking, hitting, bouncing balls, climbing ropes, playing driveway hockey, pick-up tennis, swimming in lakes in the summer, kayaking and skiing. Recently, anticipating the inevitable cold weather that may limit their outdoor running around time,I registered them for a free multisport program at a local gym. (Yes, free. Like, really, really free. Like, they don’t even need a special pair of shoes or any equipment). And they love it almost as much as they love play-

ing outside. That’s when I realized, it’s not sports they hate, it’s organized sports. And, according to author Luis Fernando Llosa, they’re not alone. “Between five and nine, even to age 11, is a critical period when kids learn how to adapt, improve flexibility, self-control, learn how to socialize with other kids and self-direction, and they’re not learning that in organized sports,� says Llosa. “These are the skills they learn while playing in a park, building a fort, trying to figure something out, playing pick-up hockey on a pond or in a cul de sac, negotiating with that kid that owns the ball.� “Kids don’t want to sign up for anything; they just want to play,� he says. Llosa, a reporter with Sports Illustrated, is the co-author of Beyond Winning: Smart Parenting in a Toxic Sports Environment. He also co-founded Whole Child Sports, which offers a series of workshops for parents and coaches on how and why competition and organization are ruining sports for kids and what to do about it. On Friday, Nov. 7, Llosa will outline the ideas in the book in a lecture at St. Paul’s Uni-
versity, followed by a series of workshops for parents on Saturday, Nov. 8 at Trille de Bois public school in Vanier. His message to parents, at the most fundamental level is this: “Kids are doing too much, too soon when it comes to sports.� For the past several decades, says Llosa, parents have been pushing their kids into organized sports at ever younger ages, which he correlates to a phenomenal rise in youth sports injuries, aggression in kids and, perhaps worst of all, an eventual disinterest in sports from youth old enough to make their own decisions. “By the age of 13, 70 per cent of kids involved in organized sports quit,� says Llosa. “If you’re a parent and you’re signing your kids up for hockey at five, the likelihood of them quitting by 13 is three out of four.� Llosa, a father of five, cites a few reasons why kids get put off. For one, they’re not given enough breathing space to grow physically and emotionally when their calendars are overwhelmed with too much activity.
But perhaps most devastating, most toxic for kids that are pushed into organized sports too early, is the out-to-win attitude of their parents. PARENTS
“The moment the parent gets involved, it becomes about them,� he says, which diminishes intrinsic motivation for the kids and can even negatively impact their self-esteem. “When a child is young, they have difficulty separating their performance from their selfworth.� Not to mention, adds Llosa, that children forced to listen to cheers and direction from even the best-intentioned parents and coaches, will ultimately turnout to be lousy athletes. “They will not be creative athletes when they’re older if they’ve always been told what to do,� he says. So I’m feeling okay about giving my kids a chance to breathe, play outside, and hang out in a local gym twice per week this winter, because if I really want them to develop a lifelong love of sports, according to Llosa, it’s best for me to just keep my mouth shut and let the kids play.

A fresh start at city hall
I
t would be easy to suggest on the heels of the Oct. 27 election that Ottawa residents cast a ballot for more of the same. Upon closer examination, however, there are indications that the latest city council will be nearly as different from the class of 2010-14 as that group was from the Larry O’Brien years. Four years ago, there were 10 new councillors elected, including six who toppled incumbents. Eight of those 2010 rookies were re-elected in 2014, some by substantial margins (Tim Tierney, who edged out Beacon Hill-Cyrville incumbent Michel Bellemare by less than 200 votes in his first campaign captured 82 per cent of the vote this time around). These councillors won’t need time to find their feet next month when the new term gets underway; they’ll hit the ground running. Six veteran councillors stepped down ahead of the election – Peter Hume, Diane Holmes, Maria McRae, Rainier Bloess, Doug Thompson, and Steve Desroches – taking with them a combined 124 years worth of political experience. Their knowledge and
wisdom will be missed around the council table. Eight brand new councillors will join the ranks of those returning, and will inject new ideas and bring fresh attitudes to debates at city hall. Some, such as Catherine McKenney and Michael Qaqish, have worked at city hall for a number of years, while others will face a steeper learning curve. Those factors alone will shape the face of Ottawa’s municipal government in important ways. New alliances will be formed and old positions will be discarded. Yet beyond the ranks of councillors, another factor will loom large over the next four years: Jim Watson’s significant mandate. It could be argued the mayor faced little in the way of competition, but that didn’t stop Ottawans from voting for him (he received 58,000 more votes in 2014 than he did in 2010). He’s been re-elected to carry on the work he started during the last term, and he’ll have every right to push that vision through. While there will be 15 familiar faces returning city hall this time around, it should be anything but dull.

Doing our own thing at the game
W
ith the season almost over, I finally got around to checking out the Ottawa RedBlacks and their new stadium. I think it would be a good thing if the CFL survives in Ottawa, and wonder if it will, given its past history. This season is a good test and so far the results are encouraging. The team won only two games at home, yet the fans turned out faithfully and cheered enthusiastically. That’s a good sign, especially when you assume that future teams won’t be as bad. The stadium itself is impressivelooking from the outside, although there are those who think TD could lower its signage profile somewhat. Getting in and out is not difficult,

have liked, but that seems to go with the territory. The link between football and booze is interesting. Anyway, from all accounts, there are places you can sit to get away from all that. At least the drunks were friendly. Also, the stadium atmosphere was fine, staff was friendly and helpful, and the lines for various things moved along all right. Security was not oppressive, despite recent events. I liked that the crowd did its own thing. Frequently, they were urged on scoreboards to MAKE SOME NOISE. They ignored that and made noise when they felt like. For some reason, the French word “mouchoir,� used when a penalty flag was dropped and announced, invariably inspired a chant of “moooo-shwaw!�

Hard to imagine that happening anywhere else. It’s an Ottawa thing. That’s what cities need more of – their own thing. So I welcomed the lumberjack mascot, Big Joe, and even the oh-so-Ottawa politically correct discussion about what his name should be. And if you want a distinctly local flavour, how could you not love the cheesy touchdown celebration, which consists of the Algonquin Loggersports Team cutting a piece off a log with a chainsaw. Are you going to see that anywhere else? A lot of smart things have been done to give the Redblacks a local identity, none more inspiring than the decision to hire local legend Lucky Ron Burke to sing in honour of the team during one of the breaks. That’s what the fans want, more Lucky Ron. Also, more chainsaw action and fewer mouchoirs. More wins will help, and it’s EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

To the editor,
Re: “Canada’s dwindling blood supply prompts urgent appeal for donors,” Oct. 9, Ottawa South News. Kudos to Ottawa South reporter Erin McCracken for trying to spread the word about blood donations. I have to be sceptical of the seriousness of the situation since Canadian Blood Services will not take my blood due to me spending a year in the United Kingdom back in 1990. At least annually I hear this request and call them up, only to be told I’m not eligible. I do not have many donations on my record because I had a painful donation experience and had only just re-started my donations when I was told that I couldn’t. I may have eaten UK beef a few times over that year but still they won’t budge. Though I can’t speak for the rest of my family who were there at the same time, I suspect the “system” has lost quite a few donations over the past 24 years. If the situation were as dire as they seem to indicate, they should either take my donation and list it “high risk” or test my blood to see what Mad Cow is hiding in it.
Like many on Nov. 22 who heard the news about shots being fired near Parliament Hill, my first reaction was to check in on my family members to ensure their safety. Then I felt shock and fear in facing the realization that our citizens are getting shot down in cold blood on the streets and my shock turned to anger that the selfish actions of one person could cause so much tragedy and despair. I was almost relieved when I heard this act was of a single, homeless, drug abusing and obviously delusional individual – an isolated incident as opposed to the attack of a terrorist group. What struck me is how one person can cause so much chaos against not only our city but the entire country. We cannot let that single person define who we are. The night of the shooting, I heard a few women at my gym having a discussion about acting against a particular politically active group, and that we should close our country’s borders and expel people who have been identified as having “dangerous affiliations.” On social media, I read a letter from an Ottawa Muslim society denouncing the actions of this one person
Lorne Facey Ottawa
and relating how highly they value their freedom in this great country. That gave me pause to consider how we cannot judge the many by the actions of an individual. My co-worker, retired from the military, said that “we are a country peacekeepers, not war mongers” and we need to keep perspective and avoid a knee-jerk response to this incident. We should not rush to hate or act with revenge. We cannot let that one define us as a nation. I read a newspaper article detailing the actions of passersby who, despite the danger they were in, ran to the aid of this fallen soldier, performing CPR and ensuring that his last few minutes alive were spent with them telling him how loved he is and how proud we are of him. It reminded me that these are the compassionate acts of bravery and kindness and that these acts define us as Canadians. These are the actions of just a few of our many heroes. Thousands of people lined the bridges of Highway 416 and parked on the side of Highway 401, the Highway of Heroes route, awaiting the procession of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as he was carried home to rest in Hamilton, Ont. I also read reports about many other tributes that took place in honour of our fallen soldier. These are the actions of the many. So let us revere our fallen
soldier and not give any credence to the action of the one who took his life. We value life. We respect and help one another. We are people who honour those who fight for our freedom. We are Canadians. And we can be very proud of our actions. Beth Montgomery Kanata

There are many commemorative ceremonies and events taking place across Ottawa and Canada during this week. River Ward is home to many Veterans and their families and to the Royal Canadian Legion – Strathcona Branch “595”. I am honoured to participate in the Strathcona Branch’s Remembrance Day Parade and Ceremony again this year, where I will be laying a wreath on behalf of our Ward. Thank you to all of our Veterans and their families. We are forever grateful and will continue keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Remembrance Day
November 11 is a day we remember You might think the legacy of World War One hangs on by a tenuous thread — as sad as it is, there are no longer any living veterans of that war. But we have the red poppy pins, In Flanders Fields, and countless books and movies to keep the story alive and to remind us of what Canadians won and lost in the conflict of 1914-1918. Here are a few of the reads that best recount the era, with all its glory and losses.
Youth fiction. The book Road to War: A First World War Girls’ Diary, 1916-1917 is a fictionalized first-person account that makes it real. The author puts a young woman in an active role as a WWI ambulance driver on the French front. Youth non-fiction. The Horrible Histories Handbook: Trenches Would You Survive World War One? Is an engaging look at the stark realities of ground warfare with great illustrations. non-fiction. For a Pulitzer-prize winning overview, read The Guns of August: The Outbreak of World War One, by Barbara W. Tuchman. For a contemporary re-examining of Canada’s role in the conflict, check out military historian Gwynne Dyer’s Canada in the Great Power Game: 19142014. For an interesting twist, try Canadian anthropologist Wade Davis’ sweeping account of World War One and what it meant for mountaineering; it’s called Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest. novels. First published in 1920, Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front has become a classic. For the romantically inclined, Birdsong, by Sebastian Faulks, has been on best book lists for the last 21 years.

Hospital frustrated by delays, cost for genetic testing Continued from page 1
Toronto-based law firm Gilbert’s LLP filed its legal challenge in Canadian federal court Monday morning, coinciding with CHEO’s announcement that it is the first Canadian hospital to take on gene patents in the country. The test case the firm will base its courtroom battle on over the next two to three years is the patent for testing of Long QT, a potentially life-threatening genetic heart rhythm disorder that can cause fast, irregular heartbeats that can lead to fainting, seizures and in some cases sudden death in a very healthy young adult. CHEO has two specialized tests its geneticists would like to put into practice, allowing them to identify the Long QT gene mutation, and allow patients to be treated as soon as possible. But because of the patents, they can’t reveal to doctors whether a patient has Long QT because they are muzzled under patent law. “That is unacceptable,” said Graham. “You can imagine being a doctor and sitting across from a patient knowing they’ve had this test and that they might have Long QT syndrome, and if they do you don’t know about it because the lab scientist who has that mutation (information) can’t tell you about it.” After years of hunting for answers about what killed her mother and grandmother when they were in their early 20s Katherine Dines’ was finally diagnosed as having the genetic disorder in 2002, thanks to CHEO. Genetic testing confirmed she and her two young daughters have Long QT. “It was bittersweet because at least for me it was a final confirmation and my children now have information to go forward and plan their futures,” the Carleton Heights resident said. She said she couldn’t fathom the idea of not being immediately told she had the syndrome because of a gene patent. “I would say that’s criminal to do that to a person,” Dines said. Calling the patenting of human genetic information “morally objectionable,” Graham said the case is about breaking down barriers to patient care, at a time when there are likely more gene patents pending in Canada. “Long QT is just one gene, but
there’s nothing stopping people from patenting more and more and more genes, and eventually we could be sending all of our patients’ blood samples to the United States and missing out on the power that these technologies are giving us to help families,” Graham said. The problem reared its head in Canada about four years ago when the Ontario Ministry of Health gave CHEO the green light to begin testing for Long QT, which can affect one in 2,000 to 2,500 people The American patent holders sent the ministry a cease-and-desist letter laying claim to their exclusive right to diagnose the genetic disorder. Because of that, Canadian hospitals are forced to send their patients’ blood samples to two labs south of the border to test for the abnormal gene. It costs the ministry between $1,500 and $3,300 – twice what it would cost CHEO to do the same test in its own genetic labs. Shipping samples out of the country also means a longer wait for test results. The sooner a patient is diagnosed, the quicker they can be treated with medication and counselled on how to alter their lifestyle to safeguard their health, said Graham, adding that in higher-risk cases, a patient may receive an implantable defibrillator. This is especially important for undiagnosed parents, offspring or siblings of the patient, who don’t show any symptoms and need be tested for the disorder since there is a 50 per cent chance they have Long QT. “Right now these patents are interfering in patient care,” said Graham. “They’re bad patents in that sense. “To put it simply, our doctors cannot accept the prospect of a child dying or potentially being orphaned because a patent prevented us from
diagnosing and treating a serious life-threatening condition,” she said. Sana Halwani and Nathaniel Lipkus will be representing CHEO in going up against the University of Utah Research Foundation, Genzyme Corporation and Yale University, and possibly more other corporate entities, which will hold those specific 20-year patents for another seven or eight years. The case could go all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, CHEO’s legal team said. A similar case is unfolding in Australia, and last year the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that patenting of genetic mutations related to breast cancer was not allowed because they occur naturally within the body. Those who seek to monopolize that genetic information are motivated by money, said Halwani said. “For them it’s going to be about profit margins, and about how much can they charge for the test, and obviously you can charge more when you have a monopoly on a test,” she said. “For CHEO, this is about patient care.”

CHEO announced Monday it is taking the unprecedented step of challenging the the validity of five gene patents.

Wartime memories offer bittersweet reflection Continued from page 3
During the invasion into Normandy, France, Henley remembers flying across the English Channel on a Douglas DC-6 transport aircraft. “When we crossed the ocean in order to get to Normandy, you looked down from the airplane and there didn’t seem to be any space left,” he said. “The whole area was filled up with ships. It was the most remarkable scene I’ve ever seen in my life – to see, for 50 miles across, there were ships, ships, ships. “And you can imagine every ship has got so many people. It was absolutely fantastic.” As his aircraft came in for a landing, Henley could see the beaches of Normandy. The ground troops had quickly disembarked from transport boats to move inland to push back the enemy forces. Henley’s aircraft landed three miles in from the beaches where a makeshift landing strip had been set up on a farmer’s field. He and his crew didn’t have long
to wait before the British Spitfires came in for repairs, refueling and to reload their single cannons and six machine guns with ammunition. Ground crews never knew if a pilot would return. Henley said three or four a week didn’t come back. “You get to know somebody and then he doesn’t show up. You say, ‘Hope to see you,’ and that was it. What can you do? “If you don’t like it, there’s no place to hide. You do your job.” No one slept much during the Normandy campaign. Henley said he remembers pulling in 23-and-a-halfhour days. “There were times we didn’t sleep at all,” he said of working around the clock during the invasion, which launched on June 6, 1944 and continued until that August when the Allies broke through France and moved into Belgium. “I was right there,” Henley said. “War is not a pleasant thing when you’re in it. “As long as you come back, that’s R0012981679

He was due to return to Britain the next day. When word came that the war was coming to an end, there was little celebrating where Henley was stationed in Hamburg, Germany. “It was not like in the cities,” he said. “We knew it was over before it was over.” Happy tears also spring to his eyes when he thinks back to the day he returned home a changed man after years of overseas service. “It was fantastic,” he said. His parents, brothers and sisters and the family’s neighbours all gathered around him at the train station. His younger sister Alice who had been just 14 years old when he left home had become a young woman of 17. “You could hardly recognize her,” he said wistfully.

Community asked to donate $1.5 million to elderly-care unit Queensway Carleton hospital must find $3 million for new care Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - The Queensway Carleton Hospital will spend almost $11 million to create a unique unit that treats elderly patients holistically. A 34-bed unit focused on acute care for elderly patients will offer specialized beds and a range of experts in geriatric care – from doctors and nurses to social services. They will treat all the conditions a patient is dealing with – not just the one that landed them in the hospital. That’s an approach currently only used at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto and it’s a shift from the old method of “putting them in a bed,� giving the patient medication and hoping they get better, said Cathy Gray, clinical nurse specialist for geriatric care at QCH. “This is a completely different way of providing care,� Gray said.
“This is a new philosophy ... We’re not treating one acute medical issue, but all of those conditions.� The hospital hopes the new unit will ease pressure on the rehabilitation centre for elderly patients, which is used to treat patients who have a longer-term issue such as a broken bone. The approach should help prevent loss of muscle strength, as well as a medical condition called delirium, which prevent elderly patients from returning home on their own. Gray said she expects frail patients will require shorter hospital stays and will leave in better condition than they would if they were treated with the standard approach to acute care. The 34 beds aren’t new – they will be transferred from the hospital’s acute-care unit into the new centre, which is to be located above the new James Beech operating room. But the renovations and specialized equipment are costly, said Melanie Adams, president and chief executive of the Queensway-Carleton Hospital Foundation. The facility is expected to open in about two years, but in order for
that to happen, the community will be called on to fundraise $1.5 million, Couns. Rick Chiarelli and Jan Harder announced on Oct. 30. The Nepean-area councillors emphasized that residents of the former city have continually responded through the years to contribute to the local hospital. If each household in old Nepean donates $30 over the next year, the goal will be reached, Harder said. “It’s important that Nepean residents step up to do this again,� Chiarelli said. The project is important for the area because 14 per cent of the people in the catchment area for the west-end hospital are over age 65 – that’s the third-highest population in Canada, Harder said. Another $1.5 million will be raised through donors sought out by the hospital foundation, Adams said. The donated money will cover 10 per cent of the cost of capital construction, as well as the entire cost of equipment. Last fall, the provincial government announced an $8.8-million contribution to the total $10.8-million project.

Strathcona legionnaires’ pay tribute to military veterans Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News – Armed with boxes brimming with hundreds of brand new ruby red poppies, Georges Winters and Brian Madden planned to head out to dozens of businesses in south Ottawa on the first official day of the annual poppy campaign. “We’ll make 42 stops,” said Winters, a 20-year member of the Royal Canadian Legion and former military musician who served in the 1960s. The massive undertaking that began at the Strathcona legion branch was a team effort. Legion poppy chairman Martin Maltais has been co-ordinating the operation. “If we weren’t doing it, who would be doing it?” the retired 24-year veteran of the Air Force said of his reasons for being involved in the campaign. Winters was joined on the delivery route by the branch’s past-president and deputy poppy chairman Brian Madden. “It needs to be done,” said Madden of his reasons for par-
ticipating. “I would not have met my wife. I would not have two good sons if it wasn’t for the people who laid down their lives, and allowed me to do this,” said Winters. That day, their thoughts were of their Second World War veteran friends, one of whom passed away earlier this year. “They were always there for us,” Madden said. “The reason it’s important for us is to help these veterans and their families.” The poppies they planned to deliver are among about 18 million that are being distributed by the Royal Canadian Legion across Canada. Last year, the Strathcona, Westboro and Eastview legion branches collected $176,000 through their Ottawa poppy campaign. Donations collected during the campaign in the lead up to Remembrance Day on Nov. 11 will support military veterans and their families through the provision of mobility aids and helping offset the cost of gro-

ceries, hydro bills, even the cost of snow shoveling. “We’re very strong on trying to keep people in their homes,” Winters said. Another cause that is close to their hearts is the Royal Canadian Legion’s national Leave the Streets Behind program, which provides financial assistance and other support to homeless veterans or those at risk of becoming homeless. “Last year, our Ottawa poppy fund donated $50,000 to the Leave the Streets program,” said Madden, a legion member for about nine years, who also served with the Canadian Army in the 1980s. “It’s very important to the legion to help our Afghan veterans now.” Many people today don’t realize there is a new generation of war veterans, many of them in their 20s, who are in crisis and in need of financial, mental or physical support, he said. “It’s frustrating that they’re not getting the supports that they need so the legion is going out of its way to make sure that the youngest veterans are get-

He remembers encountering a Silver Cross mother two years ago when he was working to distribute poppies along with cadets at the Canada War Museum. “She was younger than me,” the 52-year-old Sandy Hill resident said. “Growing up we think of the Silver Cross mothers as those in their 80s and 90s. “Suddenly this woman comes in and she’s in her 40s. And that’s when it really hit home, how old these veterans are. “It’s the one thing we wanted to run out of – Silver Cross mothers. It means we haven’t had anybody killed in a long time. Now we have more than 100 more Silver Cross mothers.” REMEMBRANCE PARADE
Veterans, first responders, Strathcona legion members and cadets will mark Remembrance Day with a parade in east Ottawa on Nov. 9. Parade participants will form up at the St. Paul’s University parking lot
at 10 a.m. The event has been growing since between 10 and 20 people came out to watch in 2006, the year the branch was rejuvenated. The parade last year drew a crowd of upwards of 300 spectators. Organizers are hoping still more will come out to pay tribute this year along Main Street and by the Brantford Place gates at Beckwith Road. The gates were dedicated in memory of the First and Second World War Canadian veterans. “I’m real proud of the achievements the branch has done with this (event).” said Winters, a Carlsbad Springs resident who will address the crowds during the ceremony as he does each year. Ever since we opened the doors here we’ve tried to get the message across to the public that we are a community organization (rather than) an old boys club,” he said. The parade will include colour guards from Ottawa fire, police and paramedic services, and peacekeepers and veterans from the Second World War and the Korean War will take part.

“We’re hoping members from Afghanistan will be there,” Madden said. Most who participate will be legion members. “A lot of them feel that they never did military duty so they feel like they’re not entitled to be in the parade,” said Winters. “I’m getting the message across that, ‘You are a legionnaire and this is a legion parade and as such you are entitled to march with the legion and the veterans.’” The Falkland Sea Cadets, 742 National Capital Air Cadet Squadron from Uplands and the 2784 Governor General’s Foot Guards army cadets will participate this year. “A lot of them are impressed when they’re dealing with the veterans, especially the Second World War veterans,” Madden said of the importance of bringing together veterans and youth. “To them I think it’s impressive that they see the people there who have fought years before. It’s no longer just on TV.” Following the parade, the public is invited back to the Strathcona branch for food and refreshments. The branch is located at 1940B Bank St.
Barrhaven native launches business social media app News - A new business, aptly dubbed Needls, helps entrepreneurs find sales leads through social media. Like the proverbial needle in a haystack, Needls looks for keywords on Twitter and Facebook to find clients for everything from plumbers to tutors. Jeremy Poriah, a Sir Rob-
ert Borden alumni and former Barrhaven resident, started the company with Michael Koral and Justin Hartzman. He said the Needls tool was originally an offshoot of their web business. “Our wives would notice people on Facebook looking for a web designer or an iPhone app developer,” Poriah said. “So we created a very basic code that would search key words and
send us an email. We got a very large contract from that.” And the idea grew. The trio decided local businesses and entrepreneurs could benefit from the data mining capability. “Increasingly people go to the web looking for services, like ‘my basement flooded - does anyone know a plumber?’” he said. “But businesses don’t have time to scour the
Internet.” So, with a little tweaking, Poriah said they were able to create an algorithm that uses key words, geographic location, natural language processes and data mining techniques to bring those who offer services to the people that want them. Poriah said their original prototype only used keyword searches and returned too many irrelevant matches.

Needls had a soft launch in the spring and did work for clients in an effort to get feedback. He said the accuracy of the searches was about 80 per cent – which includes measuring intent to buy. Of the clients that test drove the service, 37 per cent were willing to pay for the service and Poriah said a strong marketing campaign - both online and off – will grow those numbers.

“People are increasingly turning to the Internet to get recommendations on plumbers, contractors, tutors, nannies… really everything,” Poriah said, adding Needls hoped to gather 2,500 people for the launch, set to take place in the next month. The trio has also been talking with investors and is thinking about a move to Ottawa, where other social media companies like Shopify have thrived. “We are very excited about the possibilities,” Poriah said.

It gave them the results they needed to be named to the Canadian team which will compete at four long track speed skating world cups. Vincent de Haître and Ivanie Blondin, both former Gloucester Concordes who skated out of the Bob McQuarrie rink, won individual events at the selection and were named to the team. Blondin was named to the team for 1,000-metre, 3,000-metre, 5,000-metre and mass start events; de Haître was named for 500-metre, 1,000-metre and 1,500-metre events. Cumberland’s de Haître won the 1,000-metre event on Oct. 26 at the Calgary Olympic Oval with an impressive performance. According to Speed Skating Canada, de Haître is the 43rd skater in history to skate the kilometre in under one minute and eight seconds. He finished ahead of current Olympic silver medalist Canadian Denny Morrison. Earlier in the week de Haître won the 1,500-metre event. I m really thankful for the guys in my training group, De Haître said in a press release. “They are all very strong and they push me every day, so I have to show up ready to race.” Blondin, who grew up in Orléans, won the 16-lap mass start race on Oct. 26, one of two races she competed in that day. She also finished second in the 1,000-metre event. Speed Skating Canada said the mass start events – such as the 16-lap race Blondin won – will get a bigger push and gain more attention on the World Cup circuit this year because they have
been added to the 2018 Olympic medal schedule. Both Blondin and de Haître represented Canada at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. A third Ottawa-born athlete, Lauren McGuire, was also named to the World Cup team for the 3,000-metre event. McGuire was raised in Ottawa and trained with the Ottawa Pacers, a different club than Blondin and de Haître, and is now based in Calgary. She graduated from south Ottawa’s St. Patrick’s High School. The skaters will represent Canada at the first four World Cup events this year in Obihiro, Japan from Nov. 14 to 16, Seoul, South Korea from Nov. 21 to 23, Berlin, Germany from Dec. 5 to 7 and Heerenveen, Netherlands from Dec. 12 to 14.
Remembrance Day Ceremonies I would like to invite residents to pay their respects to the men and women who have served our country as the Manotick Legion will host its Remembrance Day celebration and ceremony on November 11th beginning at 11:00am at Branch 314, 5550 Ann Street in Manotick. The Royal Canadian Legion Barrhaven Branch 641 will also be hosting its Remembrance Day celebration and ceremony on November 11th beginning at 11:00am at John McCrae Secondary School, 103 Malvern Drive. Veterans who wear their medals or uniforms may ride OC Transpo and Para Transpo for free during National Veterans’Week. Companions accompanying veterans during National Veterans’ Week also ride free of charge. Laying a Wreath in Honour of Trooper Brian Good If you are driving in Riverside South you may have noticed a wreath that was laid in honour of Trooper Brian Good at the street sign bearing his name on Earl Armstrong Road. In 2009, the City of Ottawa dedicated a street in Riverside South to Trooper Brian Good. File

Lest we forget. New Outdoor Rink Planned for Claudette Cain Park I am pleased to advise residents that this winter there are plans for a new ice puddle rink located beside the field house at Claudette Cain Park. As many residents may be aware, local outdoor ice rinks are maintained by volunteers in the community with support from the Riverside South Community Association and the City of Ottawa. Without the help from local volunteers the community ice rinks would not be operational for residents. If you are interested in assisting with the local ice rink maintenance and operations at Claudette Cain Park this winter season please contact my office and I will be happy to help facilitate. If volunteers are not secured, there may not be an ice rink this season. I would like to thank all the rink volunteers in Ward 22 for their assistance in maintaining the outdoor rinks for the enjoyment of residents.

Connected to your community
In light of the events that took place in our city’s centre and in our own community last week, I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts with you.
Shutout in the south
Most of you will know about the violence that took place in downtown Ottawa - following this, there was also a serious incident of vandalism that took place at Dar As Sunnah (AMA) Mosque in Ottawa South.
St. Francis Xavier captain Jordan Hunter-Fevrier attempts to get past St. Mark High School goalie Matthew Richards in a last-ditch effort to avoid a shutout during the tier 1 boys’ hockey game at the Manotick arena on Oct. 28. Despite a mad scramble to catch up, St. Mark shut out St. FX with a 2-0 win.
The violence that we witnessed in Ottawa in recent weeks and the vandalism that took place at the AMA Mosque have no place in our community. Targeting people because of their values, beliefs or ethnicity is not only wrong, it is contrary to everything we in Ottawa South have worked to build. Our community is a truly blessed community, people from around the world have made Ottawa-South the place to raise their family and together, we strive to live with peace, tolerance and harmony. We are a model for the world. In the last few weeks, we have seen our community come together - in our churches, our mosques, our synagogues, our temples and our community spaces to pray for and support those who were victims of the violence that took place at the Cenotaph and on Parliament Hill.

Cedardale man recognized for lifesaving organ donation Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News – In the eyes of Jacqueline Nemeth, her brotherin-law Steve Mortimer moved mountains so she could one day climb one, a goal she never thought she would accomplish if he hadn’t donated his kidney. “I just got back from a hiking trip to Mount Assiniboine, which is on the B.C.-Alberta border,” she said of her September climb up more than 2,100 metres. “One of the things illness teaches people is to live for now. I don’t want to miss anything because I sure feel great right now and I’ve been given this opportunity and a lease on
life.” Nemeth received her second kidney transplant in September 2012 through the Canadian Blood Services’ Living Donor Paired Exchange national kidney transplant registry for incompatible donor-recipient pairs. Despite sharing the same blood type, Mortimer could not directly donate to Nemeth because her body would have rejected his kidney due to an antibody antigen in his blood. But thanks to the Cedardale resident’s willingness to provide the gift of life, a threeway organ donation exchange was set up among participants whose identities are not disclosed to one another. The Mortimers travelled to Van-

couver in September 2012, where another pair and Nemeth were waiting. Mortimer’s kidney went to a female recipient, whose husband donated a kidney to an out-of-province recipient. And someone close to that recipient donated their kidney to Nemeth. “It starts off a chain of events so that more people can benefit,” Mary Rada, a registered nurse and living donor co-ordinator of the Renal Transplant Program, based at the Riverside Campus of The Ottawa Hospital, said of Mortimer’s willingness to donate. Nemeth is also grateful for Mortimer’s gift. “I wouldn’t be alive if I hadn’t received my two transplants,” the 48-year-old said. “In the case of kidney donations, often direct donations happen, but when they can’t I think it’s really important that people know of the alternative that’s created through the paired exchange, because it’s a wonderful program that has saved hundreds of lives across Canada,” said Mortimer, who was among 36 donors recognized at a special ceremony held at the Civic Campus of The Ottawa Hospital on Oct. 14.

Kidney recipient runs triathlon Continued from page 31
Mortimer doesn’t consider himself a hero. “I think when it’s so close to home and it’s so personal you don’t think of yourself that way. You think of it as stepping up to help a loved one in need,� said Mortimer, 47. “I had the benefit of witnessing as my sister-in-law had an incredible recovery from where she was to where she is now, and for me that’s been tremendously rewarding.� Nemeth, who lives in Vancouver with her husband, stepson and three teenage daughters, had suffered from kidney disease for much of her young life because of a malfunctioning ureter. She received her first kidney from a deceased donor in 1987 at age 17. That kidney lasted about 25 years – far longer than the expected 10 to 15 years. In 2011, she was told she needed a replacement. For Nemeth, the second transplant surgery was done in the nick of time. Her lone kidney was functioning at just 10 per cent. “Basically when I woke up from the surgery I felt better,� she said. Nine months later, Nemeth completed a mini-triathlon. “It’s something I would have loved to have done, but never thought it would have been possible for me, and the only reason it was possible

was because of Steve giving me his kidney,� she said. “I feel better than I felt 10 years ago.� “For her to be able to do that was just amazing,� said Mortimer. “Just knowing that someone has had their life changed is great. It’s very rewarding.� The recent recognition ceremony was an emotional time for those recipients and donors who participated, said Rada, who has seen firsthand how kidney organ donations change lives. “It brings back the memories of what they’ve done,� she said. Between 40 and 45 living
donor transplants have been conducted at The Ottawa Hospital annually in last two years. “It’s amazing,� Rada said of the positive impact of organ donation. For details on the national registry, visit organsandtissues.ca. By the numbers:

News – After four and a half years in Osgoode ward, Const. Nicole Gorham will leave the community in the hands of a new community police officer. “It’s bittersweet,� said Gorham, who will leave the Rural South Community Police Centre on Parkway Road in Greely on Nov. 7. She’ll start her new role as a use of force instructor at the Ottawa Police Services’ professional development centre at Algonquin College later this fall, after a trip to Ireland with her husband. Gorham will teach defensive tactics to new recruits, and help recertify police officers already on the force. While Gorham said she is looking forward to bringing her teaching skills to her day job – she’s a Goodlife fitness instructor on her time off – she said she’ll miss the friendships that inevitably grow from a
community policing position. “It has been one of the most rewarding jobs in policing,� she said in an email to her extensive contact list.

“Many times as police officers we are faced with some horrific things and have seen people at their absolute worst. Community policing has left me feeling restored, grateful and valued.â€? The OrlĂŠans resident said it was sometimes a challenge to earn her constituents’ trust, being an outsider to the tight-knit rural community that includes all of Osgoode ward. “It’s taken a while for them to call me, as the outsider,â€? she said.
This is the face
of change.
“The geography is huge, so trying to keep tabs on everybody and everything going on has been a challenge.� Gorham’s replacement, Const. Stephanie Lemieux, comes from a school resource officer background, so already has lots of experience connecting with residents, Gorham said. Lemieux has also filled in for Gorham on holidays, and joined Gorham for this week’s Crime Prevention Week activities in an effort to get to know the community. Gorham said she’s confident the transition will be an easy one – and promised to be just “an email away� for both Lemieux and residents as Lemieux gets settled. “It’s been four and a half years for me, so it’s good to have fresh eyes come in,� Gorham said. Lemieux starts on Nov. 10. The community police centre is located at 7010 Parkway Rd. in Greely and can be reached at 613236-1222 ext 3787.

Keeping kids warm, one suit at a time Snowsuit depot already handed out hundreds Staff
News - As the cold weather approaches, the Snowsuit Fund gets ready for another year at keeping local children warm. The Snowsuit Fund Depot, located at 225 Donald St. was set to officially launch its 2014 season on Oct. 29. The event was initially scheduled for Oct. 22, but a notice of rescheduling was sent out after the killing of a Canadian Forces member at the National War Memorial and shootings at Parliament Hill that morning. The launch expected to welcome cheques from community corporate
partners Tim Horton’s 2014 Smile Cookie Campaign and Canadian Tire Jumpstart. Every $40 raised, Snowsuit Fun Joanne Andrews said can buy a snowsuit. Now in its 33rd year, the organization has been serving families throughout the region by handing out new or slightly used winter clothing. There will be two upcoming fundraisers for the organization, the annual Canadian Tire Snowsuit Fund Gala on Nov. 15 at the Fairmont Château Laurier and the Rogers
Radiothon on Dec. 10. Every $40 raised through these efforts will provide one child in need with a warm snowsuit. Anyone who would like to make a donation of a snowsuit - new or used- may do so at any Ottawa area Canadian Tire store or Brown’s Cleaners. Snowsuit and cash donations may also be made at The Snowsuit Fund Depot at 225 Donald Street, Unit 134 (entrance at the back of the building through the red door).

Hockey players gear up with First Shift Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland
Sports - Boys and girls were all smiles at the Canadian Tire Centre on Oct. 23 as they were fitted for their first hockey skates, shoulder pads and helmets. Parents’ grins were equally as wide as the children placed their equipment in new bags as there was mp cashier ringing up an expensive total in the background. Players from the Orléans Minor Hockey Association took part in a new program, called the First Shift. The program is run by 30 local hockey clubs nationwide in partner-
ship with Hockey Canada and Bauer Hockey. Parents paid $199 for their children, ages six to 10, to get all their hockey equipment along with six on-ice sessions. The Orléans program will host the six sessions at the Ray Friel Recreation Complex. In order to be eligible for the program, the child cannot have ever been registered with a hockey club before, which ensures all the program participants are true beginners. It also gives them a first chance to hit the ice with other new players, as initiation level hockey introduces four-and five-year-olds to the sport. This gives slightly older chil-
dren – ages six to 10 – an easy and affordable way to join in a favourite game. The families participated in the welcome event on Oct. 23 at the Canadian Tire Centre, where they got an overview of the program and a fit session on how to get their child ready to hit the ice. The 45 participants were given absolutely all their equipment, including a hockey bag. “(Parents) don’t want to spend $1,000 knowing eight weeks later their child may lose interest,” said Bob Picard, director of competitive hockey for the Orléans Minor Hockey Association. “Equipment can
be $300 to $400, plus about $350 in league fees.” Three generations Burd family came out to Kanata to see young Dezman get his first hockey gear. His grandpa paid for him to join the First Shift program, and accompanied the youngster along with his father. “It’s very well organized and excellent for the kids,” said his father, Jason Burd. Andy Bradbury, 6, said the trip to the Senators home rink to get all of his equipment was “the best day.” His mother, Jenna Sparks, said he was extremely excited. “They’ve done a fantastic
job,” Sparks said.

Tender Loving Research campaign looks to raise $50M Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
News – The Ottawa Hospital is appealing for donations to help researchers find new ways of mending the human body. The foundation’s Tender Loving Research campaign, launched on Oct. 29, aims to raise $50 million over the next three years – money that will go primarily towards research on regenerative medicine. By focusing on this emerging field, as well as cancer research, the foundation hopes to one day introduce new drugs, therapies and treatment options for patients. The money will bolster research already happening on the campuses
of the Ottawa Hospital. “Made-in-Ottawa solutions are shaping healthcare in our city and around the world,” said foundation president and CEO Tim Kluke in a media release. “Every day, individuals benefit from the research taking place right here at home. Research improves lives, and saves lives, which is why – everyone deserves a little TLC.” The Ottawa Hospital is ranked in the top five per cent of research institutes worldwide, thanks to its pioneering work in medical research. The $50 million the foundation hopes to raise will go towards the purchase of new equipment to stay current in a quickly evolving medical field, as
well as the establishment of research chairs to focus on specific elements of the hospital’s work. Ottawa Hospital researcher Dr. Bernard Thebaud specializes in regenerative medicine, a growing field where stem cells – either the patient’s own or those of a donor – are injected to regenerate damaged tissue. In essence, they can allow the body to heal itself. Thebaud’s specialty is working on helping premature infants suffering lung damage – a common problem for babies of low birth weight for which there is no cure. “In the lab we found that a certain type of stem cell can repair damaged lungs in experimental models,” said
Made-in-Ottawa solutions are shaping healthcare in our city and around the world TIM KLUKE
Thebaud, adding that clinical trials on actual infants will be the next step. Clinical trials are also being pre-
pared to study the effects of stem cell therapy on heart disease, hypertension, and septic shock – the latter being only a few months away. Clinical trials and the work needed to craft a rationale for the human trial is expensive work, given the amount of people and expertise involved. Thebaud said the campaign is “timely,” given that regenerative medicine is finally becoming a reality after years of animal testing. “The time is right for these therapies to be tested in the clinic,” he said. “Over the next five to 10 years, we will see if these cells hold their promise. However, money is needed to get things done in a timely manner.”

because they’ve already had it. Your grown pup knows the bathroom is outside while your sophisti-cat will seek out her litter box when you first introduce her to your home. If your adult kitty has experienced the joys of the scratching post, she’ll choose that over your curtains — unlike a kitten who doesn’t know the difference. “sit” and “stay” are likely already part of your mature dog’s vocabulary. Change the life of a mature pet with a new home and watch the kitty purrs and doggy kisses roll in. As your local humane society, we hear many stories from happy adopters who chose to bring home an older pet and were thrilled by the loving, long-term bond
they developed with their new friend. This month at the Ottawa Humane Society, those who adopt a cat, age seven or older, or a dog, age five and up, will be entered to win a prize pack loaded with cat or dog accessories — a $160 value! Adopters also qualify for 25 per cent off at the Buddy and Belle Boutique that day. Mature pets get it. They spent their youth making silly mistakes in a frenetic haze fueled by dog biscuits and cat treats of iffy origin. But they’re past all that and ready to settle down with you. To meet your perfect match, visit the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. or check out www.ottawahumane.ca to learn more.
Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

It can be hard to resist the young, energetic cuteness of a puppy or a kitten when adopting a new furry family member. Some people are even insistent they only want a young pet, ruling out those just a couple years older without even laying eyes on one. But mature pets have an edge over their younger counterparts in many ways. Adult cats and dogs, while full of life and energy, can also appreciate your occasional couch-potato ways. Take a leisurely stroll by the canal with your mellow canine instead of a mad dash with your puppy. Spend a Sunday catnapping to some classical music with a kitty who shares your refined tastes. These guys usually need less training

Mother puts decorative touch on barrel MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories had settled in, there sat the lidless barrel, with nothing but a big dinner plate covering the opening, and ever so much smaller than the one that held the sauerkraut. But as far as Mother was concerned, it was a real eyesore. And that’s when Mother got the idea that she would make a skirt for the barrel. She had enough Dan River material left over from two blouses she had made for Audrey and me, and it would do nicely to cover the unsightly salt pork barrel. So one morning, after we had heard the old foot pedal
churning away on the Singer sewing machine long after we had gone to bed, we came down to find the little barrel covered from top to bottom with a mauve and yellow flowered skirt. Since there was no lid on the barrel (the plate had been removed), Mother had simply made the skirt with a round inset at the top, and both Audrey and I thought the whole idea added a lovely touch to the kitchen. “Nonsense,” we could hear Father mutter in his saucer of green tea when he came in from his morning chores in the barn, scanning a look in
the corner of the kitchen near the ice box. Mother paid him no heed. She had even moved one of the straight backed kitchen chairs, the only one with arms on it and the one Father favoured, to sit on at the dinner table, beside the little barrel, and commented that it now looked like a little end table. She reminded us not to set anything on top, though, as the small circle of material covering the top wouldn’t hold. So there it sat, adding a bit of colour to that corner of the kitchen. Father added “nuisance” to his complaints about the Dan River skirt, because now he had to take it off to fork out a slab of saltpork. Often, he just let it lie in a heap on the floor by the little barrel, which annoyed Mother almost as much as when Father slurped his tea out of his saucer. Aunt Bertha on the next farm thought the skirt was a
lovely idea and said she was going to do the same thing to their little pork barrel. Everyone thought it was fine except Father. Our minister never seemed to have a reason to pay a visit. But his call always seemed to be at mealtime, which Mother said assured him of at least one good meal that day. And so that Saturday,
just before noon dinner, in walked the minister, Bible in hand, and even though it was a cold fall day, with snow flurries dusting through the air, the sweat was pouring off his round, fat face. Mother took his coat, and told him to “please be seated, Reverend.” See REVEREND, page 41

other never quite got used to having the salt pork barrel in the kitchen. Once again she lamented that on her very first visit to the farm in Northcote, when she came face to face with the sauerkraut and salt pork barrels, smack in the middle of the kitchen, she was ready to race right back to New York. She said she was greatly relieved when Father assured her the sauerkraut barrel would be moved to the summer kitchen as soon as the brine had settled, where it would freeze solid. But that still left the little salt-pork barrel. Father said it needed the warmth of the kitchen, and besides, it had sat in the very same spot for three generations, and furthermore, there was no other place to put it. And so every day, once fall

Farm Boy Local Food Fair made a tasty impression By David Johnston metroland media
Farm Boy’s Local Food Fair, Oct. 28 at the Train Yards location 665 Industrial Ave., showcased the wide variety of quality products to be found in Farm Boy stores. The store was busy all day as curious customers sampled tasty treats, meats, sauces and more. Farm Boy is committed to supporting local producers. The relationship with local food suppliers is a tasteful blend of everything from soup to nuts, almost literally. “We currently have over 40 local supplier products in our stores - 17 were on hand sampling their products for the food fair and 24 new local vendors met with our Farm Boy buyers to pitch their products,� says Carolyn Trudel, Farm Boy’s Director of Marketing. “Small producers are unique and know that quality is what will make their product stand out. It’s a great relationship that our customers appreciate.� “Our stores are brimming with unique and tasty locally-made prod-
ucts and we’re always on the lookout for more, says Carolyn.� “We carry locally made products in all categories – produce,, grocery, meat, seafood, dairy, deli, cheese, floral and bakery. It’s the kind of event that can make all the difference for a small business trying to get established. Hanna’s Bakery, makers of Perfect Pita, is a small, local company with a big future. Owner Charbel Hanna is proud that his product is popular at Farm Boy and across the region. “Our pita is known as ‘Healthy Choice’ because it has no preservatives, no sugar and no fat,� says Hanna. “We are happy to have our products sold through Farm Boy stores. It has been a tremendous advantage for our business.� Similarly Emily Peachey of Peachey Honey Farm had good things to say about working with Farm Boy. “We love our relationship with Farm Boy. It has really helped our business become established.� Farm Boy customers were all smiles at the Food Fair. Eager to sample the delicious offerings, the store was buzzing with ex-

Gingerbread, apple combine Reverend loses his bible for tasty upside down cake Continued from page 39
Lifestyle - Gingerbread is often served with applesauce. In this twist, applesauce is in the batter itself, providing moistness, and more apples are used as a topping. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Baking time: 35 to 40 minutes. Serves 12. Ingredients
* 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) all-purpose flour * 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground ginger * 5 ml (1 tsp) baking soda * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each ground cinnamon and salt * 75 ml (1/3 cup) each vegetable oil and molasses * 125 ml (1/2 cup) packed dark brown sugar * 1 egg * 125 ml (1/2 cup) unsweetened applesauce * 25 ml (2 tbsp) minced ginger
Topping * 50 ml (1/4 cup) butter, melted * 175 ml (3/4 cup) packed dark brown sugar * 500 ml (2 cups) sliced, peeled apples (about two) Preparation
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and set aside. In a large bowl, beat together the oil, molasses and
brown sugar. Next, beat in the egg until it’s smooth. Stir in the applesauce and minced ginger until it’s smooth, and set aside. For the topping, pour the melted butter in a 1.5-litre (nine-inch) round cake pan, brushing butter up the sides. Spread the brown sugar evenly over the butter. Arrange the apples on top. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until it’s just moistened. Pour the mixture over the apples. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for five minutes. Run a thin spatula around the edge of the cake to loosen, and then invert it onto a serving plate. Foodland Ontario
He headed for the armed chair, plopped down like a sack of grain, wiped his face with the sleeve of his black shirt, and placed his bible on top of the pork barrel. It was a big Bible, and well worn. It was the one he carried up to the pulpit every Sunday. Well, it sunk into the pork barrel, like a stone in a wash tub, taking most off the skirt with it. He looked at it for what seemed like a
full minute, and then reached down into the barrel and pulled it out. It was covered with salt water, and brine crystals had already settled on the cover of the Bible. Mother rushed over, grabbed the Bible and was wiping it up and down on her apron as she headed for the dish pan and a dry tea towel. The minister decided he’d be on his way -- he’d be back on another day, he said, never taking his eyes off the pork barrel, now with
most of the skirt inside it. It looked like the Bible was finished. But that Sunday, there he was, walking up the aisle to the front of the church with the four members of the choir, and the battered Bible clutched in his hand. He always nodded to those in the pews, but he didn’t give us as much as glance. Emerson swore he could smell salt pork off the minister as he passed us at our usual place in the very front row.

Ottawa daycare providers fight Bill 10 Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Ottawa’s independent child care workers want parents in the city to know proposed changes to the Ontario Day Nurseries Act will affect families negatively. The Coalition of Independent Childcare Providers of Ontario held 11 protests across Ontario on Oct. 26 to draw attention to the Liberal government’s proposed childcare modernization act and what it could mean for independent daycare providers. The child care modernization act, Bill 10, will replace the Day Nurseries Act, which was first introduced in 1946 and has not been reviewed since 1983. According to the Liberal government, the changes will reflect child care needs of today’s families. The changes will increase access to spaces in each licensed home child care settings from five to six. According to the province, by allowing daycare providers to take in one more child will add 6,000 licensed spots. It would also change the number of children a daycare provider would be allowed to have under a certain age; each home daycare would only be
able to accept two children under the age of two. The government would also have greater enforcement tools to strengthen safety and clarify programs that do not require a licence. Proposed changes would also require anyone working within the early childhood education field to be registered with the College of Early Childhood Educators, including individuals providing care in unlicensed settings. The Ottawa protest took place at the Human Rights Monument adjacent to city hall, where child care workers, parents and supporters rallied to help spread the word about the changes. “We want people to join the coalition and join the fight,” said Heidi Higgins, co-founder of the coalition. Higgins spoke about what the coalition believes would happen if the changes to the act were implemented in Bill 10. Higgins said is its unnecessary to change the number of children allowed at each licensed facility, such as two children under the age of two as well as the individual daycare provider’s children counting as children in their care. Higgins added the greatest need for daycare spots is parents seeking a

The Coalition of Independent Childcare Providers of Ontario protests across Ontario on Oct. 26 to draw attention to the Liberal government’s proposed childcare modernization act could mean for independent daycare providers. spot for a child 12 months old – at the usual end of a maternity leave – and with the proposed two-children-under-two rule, daycares will be unable to fill that need and it will ultimately limit the number of spaces available, resulting in what the coalition calls the loss of 140,000 daycare spots in Ontario.
Higgins said that most daycare providers worry about the safety of adding another child – six, up from five – and the restriction of having only two children under the age of two will likely result in home daycares closing. She said that will result in the exact opposite to what the Liberals hope to achieve by reducing spaces.
Daycare provider Sharon Higginson believes moving from five to six children in a home daycare wouldn’t be safe. “I cannot add a child to the five I already have,” said Higginson. “It would not be fair to the five monkeys I am already taking care of.” Nepean-Carleton MPP and current Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Lisa MacLeod, who spoke at the rally, said she will support independent daycare providers at Queen’s Park, and called into question the current changes the Liberals would like to make. “Mothers will be impacted,” MacLeod said. “I think it’s wrong and I will stand against it.” MacLeod added, along with PC education critic Garfield Dunlop, plans to start a petition asking the current government to listen to daycare providers about what these proposed changes will actually do to daycare in the province are in the works. “I want them to listen to you and look you in the eye,” MacLeod said. For more information about the proposed changes visit the coalition’s website at cicpo.ca or visit the Ontario government’s website, Ontario.ca.

If you’re working on the project by yourself, planning and getting accurate measurements is even more essential, as without them your project likely won’t be completed correctly, if at all. It’s also important to visualize what your space looks like now and what it will become.
Additionally, always keep in mind your space’s final goals. Are you looking to create an outdoor kitchen complete with a BBQ or is your main goal a quiet garden with a tranquil waterfall? It may seem obvious, but each project has different needs. When you’re working with your landscaper, take time out to ensure the materials such as stones are appropriate for the job at hand. To make your project an easy and successful one, reach out to Canlok Stone. With 43 years of experience, they know how to help you complete your project correctly, safely and with ease all at a great price as well. To learn more about Canlok Stone, visit them online canlok.com, call 613-828-7686 or visit their showroom in person at 950 Moodle Drive in Nepean. R0012978512

New development planned at Montreal Road, Vanier Parkway Seven mixed-use, height buildings planned for site Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - A new proposal for Montreal Road could see the addition of seven new buildings at the intersection with the Vanier Parkway. A two-storey hotel currently occupies 112 Montreal Rd. and a single detached house occupies 314 Gardner St., but a new zoning bylaw application submitted to the city on Oct. 1 is seeking to change the look of both properties with seven mixeduse and mixed height buildings. The buildings will all be located on the south side of Montreal and to the west side of the parkway. Currently the property, which is approximately one hectare, features three different zonings and the applicant is seeking amendments to rezone everything to traditional mainstreet, which allows up to a maximum of 18-storeys as well as residential and mixed-use buildings. The proposed development seeks access from both the Vanier Parkway and Montreal Road. A private
Submitted
The corner of Montreal Road and the Vanier Parkway could change with the proposal to build seven mixeduse, mixed-height buildings on the one hectare site. street will allow access between each building. According to the application, a numbered company from Brampton, Ont. 1147310 Ontario Inc., would like to build four 18-storey residential buildings, one six-storey mixeduse building, a four-storey residential building and a three-storey common
building with shared amenity space. The proposal would add 607 residential dwellings and retail to the area. There is also a proposed two-level underground parking lot proposed for the site. The garage will encompass the entire site and will accommodate 545 parking spaces for residents and visi-
tors, resident storage, bicycle storage and mechanical rooms. There will be no retail parking provided. According to the planning rationale submitted by Fotenn Consultants Inc. the six storey mixed-use building will front onto Montreal Road with retail at street level and
five storeys of residential use above. The building includes 15 units, 300 square metres of retail divided into two units and 101 square metres of common amenity and lobby area also on street level. The four-storey, 22-unit building is proposed for Gardner. The remaining buildings -- four 18 storey buildings and one threestorey building -- will be located in the centre of the site. Two of the four 18 storey buildings will front the parkway with a three storey common building between. The two additional 18 storey buildings will be located in the interior of the site. Three of the buildings will have 143 units, while the fourth will have 141 units. The project would be split into two construction phases, with the first phase consisting of the Montreal Road building and a shared underground garage. The second phase will see the additional buildings constructed. Residents can view the application on the city’s development application website ottawa.ca/en/city-hall under the planning and development tab. Comments can be submitted to Steve Belan, planner at steve.belan@ ottawa.ca, or by calling at 613-5802424, ext. 27591 until Nov. 20.

Veteran takes to skies in vintage Tiger Moth Jessica Cunha

Robert Fleck and Bruce Bennet pass over fields in West Carleton in a vintage 1941 Tiger Moth. had never flown in a plane before signing up to join the Air Force. After 125 hours in the air, he was sent to navigation school, a 20-week course that started at 8 every morning and often didn’t finish until midnight.
“It was extremely intense,” said Bennet, who enlisted at age 18 after years as an air cadet. He was given a conditional discharge towards the end of 1945; if he was needed in the Pacific, he would
have to be ready to go at a moment’s notice. He spent two weeks towards the end of the war in New York City with a number of his comrades. “New York City was euphoric at that time with the indication that the

News - Bruce Bennet’s face split into a grin as he taxied into the Carp airport. “Oh God, it was so thrilling,” said the 90-year-old veteran. Bennet, a pilot officer during the Second World War, took to the skies in a vintage 1941 Tiger Moth on Oct. 10 for a joyride over West Carleton and Arnprior – home to two of the 105 airports built during the war. The Tiger Moth was used for training during the Second World War. The vintage plane is now owned by pilot Robert Fleck, a former military jet fighter pilot who flies for Air Canada. Before the Second World War there were only 235 trained pilots in the country, said Fleck, a history buff and former president of Vintage Wing Canada. Thanks to the British Commonwealth Air Training Program, 50,000 pilots and 210,000 crew were trained in four years. “Most of them would have had their first flight ever in a Tiger Moth,” said Fleck, who lives in Centrepointe. Bennet, who lives in Rockcliffe,
war would be over,” he said. The group never paid for a single drink, accommodations were 50 cents a day and free activities were provided to allied troops. Bennet’s 85th birthday present was a flight in a Tiger Moth. “It was a gorgeous day,” he said. “My prime birthday gift could be nothing better than a flight in a Tiger Moth.” The family contacted Vintage Wing to see if they could repeat the flight and on Oct. 10, after three re-scheduled flights due to stormy weather, Fleck and Bennet were soaring a few thousand feet over the city, tailed by pilot Ulrich Bollinger, of North Gower, and myself in another aircraft. The two planes alternated between performing fighting manoeuvres and flying in formation over West Carleton and Arnprior. Bollinger, who flew fighter jets overseas with Fleck, provided a running commentary of the various moves he performed, like how to dive an enemy aircraft, shoot it down and avoid becoming a target. Back on the ground, Bennet said it was another flight he’d never forget. “Every moment was thrilling.”

News - A new collision reporting centre is now open at the Elgin Police Station. The centre, located at 474 Elgin St. is aimed at reducing the amount of time motorists wait for a police officer at the scene of a collision -which police have said can sometimes take up to two hours. “Collision Reporting Centres mean officers will spend less time on calls involving minor collisions,” said Insp. Sandra McLaren, who is running the new collision centre. All motorists involved in collisions must contact the police communications centre at 613-2306211, where police will determine whether the collision can be reported at a collision centre, or if an officer needs to attend the scene. Drivers involved in a collision must report at the centre as soon as possible. In the case where there is more than one vehicle involved in a collision, drivers also do not have to attend the centre at the same time. “If a driver has not reported within 24 hours, police will begin a fail to report collision investigation,” McLaren said. If a motorist is referred to a collision centre, they will be given a police report number to bring with them. The 474 Elgin St. Collision Reporting Centre is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Collisions in the west end and central parts of the city will be diverted to 211 Huntmar Dr. Collision Reporting Centre or the Elgin Street one. According to police, since the collision centre opened at 211 Huntmar, 898 non-injury collision from the west end have been diverted off of areas roads. The last location, aimed to serve
the east end of Ottawa, located at 3343 St. Joseph Blvd. will be in operation by the end of the year. It is expected that 70 per cent of all collisions, or 13,000 collisions, will be redirected to a reporting centre by the end of 2014. According to police, this will free up about 8,600 hours of patrol time, which will be redirected to responding to more serious crime, as well as reducing and preventing criminal activity.
