Ottawa South News - Thursday, December 18, 2014

Ottawa Senators defenceman Patrick Wiercioch chats with Gordon Kautuk and his two-year-old son Nick of Clyde River, Nunavut, during the Senators’ annual visit to bring gifts and spend an hour with young patients at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario on Dec. 10.

For weekly specials, recipes, nutrition, preparation tips and more, visit PRODUCEDEPOT.CA facebook.com/producedepot R0302738880-1218

Defenceman and team captain Erik Karlsson enjoyed his sixth visit to CHEO with the Senators, an experience he said feels very special every time. He echoed Ryan that the team’s annual visit puts life in perspective. “You see how positive all the families and all the kids are even though it’s tough at times,” Karlsson said, adding the Senators are very proud of their visit to the regional hospital. “We know how much it means for them and it’s a small thing we can do to make their every day a little bit easier and, you know, something for them to look forward to and talk about,” Karlsson said. “And it greatly warms your heart to see how greatly they appreciate everything and how positive they all stay.” Ryan also spent the hour going

from patient to patient, signing cards and chatting about hockey. He can still remember being a little boy with dreams of playing in the NHL. He was a big fan of the Philadelphia Flyers, and he saw the players as role models. Now that he’s a professional hockey player, Ryan said the experience of young people coming up to him asking him for an autograph still blows him away. “I don’t think that’s something that ever sinks in,” he said. About 15 years ago, Ryan approached NHL player Kevin Dineen in a restaurant. The memory of that experience has stayed with Ryan, serving as a reminder that he too is now a role model to young fans. “He couldn’t have been more gracious,” Ryan said of Dineen. “He put a smile on my face. I want to be that guy for other kids.”

New CHEO concussion clinic to address care gap in complex cases Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

With the right treatment, kids can recover from a concussion. But for those whose symptoms have persisted for more than a month – whether from a sports injury, a motor vehicle crash or a fall – they have a new place to turn with the opening last month of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario’s new off-site concussion clinic – the first of its kind in Ontario and only the second in Canada. “CHEO wants to become the centre of excellence for concussions,” said CHEO neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Vassilyadi, whose research supported the need for a specialized clinic. Concussions are on the rise in eastern Ontario, largely due to awareness around the health issue, but treatment options are still limited, which has led to a gap in care that the new clinic is designed to address, said Vassilyadi. Of the 70,000 kids that come to the regional hospital’s emergency department each year, 900 of them have concussions. Up to 83 per cent of those have no arrangements for follow-up treatment. The need for a dedicated pediatric concussion clinic specializing in complex cases was identified through a pilot

clinic for sports-related concussions that operated at the hospital one afternoon a week from 2011 to 2013. “But these kids, what we have identified – which was an eye-opener – was that they have a poor quality of life,” Vassilyadi said of the impact of prolonged symptoms ranging from lack of sleep and depression to headaches, which can lead to kids, especially teens, missing out on school, friendships and sports. “They get into this vicious cycle where it may not necessarily go away quickly, but what we offer them is the confidence (that) yes, it will go away if you follow these steps,” Vassilyadi said. “What we’re trying to prevent here is the development of post-concussion syndrome, which is the prolongation of symptoms,” said pediatrician Dr. Kristian Goulet, who is teaming up with nurse practitioner and CHEO researcher Gail Macartney at the new clinic, which is open every Friday. Patients up to age 18 can be referred through their family physician to see the concussion experts, who are working out of CHEO’s Centre for Healthy Active Living, located at 1355 Bank St. The clinic is already filling a huge need. “Everybody seemed to leave the clinic, in the short

The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario has opened a new off-site concussion clinic in south Ottawa for children and teens. Research by CHEO neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Vassilyadi, left, led to the creation of the clinic, which will be run by pediatrician Dr. Kristian Goulet and nurse practitioner and CHEO researcher Gail Macartney. The clinic will also provide teaching opportunities to resident physicians, such as Dr. Natalie Bresee, right. time that I’ve been working there, sort of breathing a sigh of relief, like they’ve had some acknowledgement of what’s

going on and recognition and identification of a few new therapies that maybe weren’t identified before,” said Ma-

cartney. “This is allowing us to go further in a more specialized way with Dr. Goulet in a more

holistic approach to patient care.” See EDUCATING, page 4

Educating patients, parents key to treatment plan: pediatrician Continued from page 3

The team will map out individualized treatment plans to tackle a range of persistent symptoms, ranging from vision and balance problems to neck pain and severe or new headaches – some of which may not have developed early on or were not recognized by medical professionals after the initial head injury, said Macartney. Educating patients and their parents will be an essential part of the team’s work. “We know that when you educate them and tell them what to expect or what the trends are, you are far less likely to develop this post-concussion (condition),” said Goulet, who has seen between 2,500 and 3,000 concussed patients in his medical career. “If they stop getting better ,either the kid is doing way too much, that kid is getting hit to the head continually, or there’s something else going on, whether it’s visual dysfunction after the head

injury, whiplash injury, jaw problems or they’re getting stressed.” Treatment, depending on the case, may include blood work, nutritional supplements, physiotherapy, proper hydration, ocular therapy, a special diet, medications and cognitive and physical rest. “The plan is not for them to be sick in a dark room for a month,” Macartney said. Goulet views concussions as a mental-health problem. In some cases, the concussion will bring to the forefront or even trigger a host of other symptoms the patient may already have been experiencing, such as chronic fatigue, depression or anxiety. Teenagers today experience enormous amounts of stress, and while most can cope, adding a concussion to the mix can reduce their ability to juggle everything, said Goulet. Their stress levels can soar; they may start falling behind in school and withdrawing from friends or social activities.

“It just starts this big downward spiral,” Macartney said. Goulet said concussions and their symptoms have to be respected, not feared. “It sounds kind of crazy, but I look at concussions like the ocean,” he said. “You have to respect the ocean. If you don’t respect the ocean you get lost at sea, you get pulled overboard; swimming the riptide will pull you away. “But you can’t be terrified of the ocean. If you’re scared of it then you don’t get to enjoy everything that the ocean is,” he said. This can be applied to concussions. If symptoms are not properly acknowledged, patients can run into problems, which can hinder recovery, Goulet said. That’s where the new clinic comes in – to improve recovery times, said Vassilyadi. “We want these kids to be active and healthy and happy and do what they’re doing in their sports, their family life,” he said.

Elmvale Acres church invites community to carol sing-a-long Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Decorating the interior of St. Aidan’s Anglican Church with a massive Christmas tree, wreaths and lights wasn’t enough for parishioners, who wanted to reach out to the surrounding community and invite everyone in for a festive community celebration. A plan was struck in 2011 to host a community Christmas carol sing-along, but there was some skepticism about whether enough people would come to the inaugural event and fill the pews of the Elmvale Acres church, which seats about 200. “Nobody believed that we could actually do it, to start with,” said church volunteer and Blackburn Hamlet resident Peter Martin, who initially thought up the idea. “Peter said, ‘I’m going to fill the church,’” said fellow volunteer and Elmvale Acres resident David Harrison. “And nobody believed that he would. But he did.” Parishioners got to work posting flyers and personally inviting friends, relatives, neighbours and those who live in the neighbourhood, including people who don’t attend services at the church.

“You have to invite them. And there’s nothing like a person inviting a person,” Martin said. They filled the church for the inaugural Christmas event, and even drew Gov. Gen David Thompson, who made a very low-key appearance and sat at the back. Since then, people have made the event a part of their Christmas tradition and return every year to enjoy the evening’s performances. “We did it to welcome the community to the church,” said Martin. “We decorate the church and what we wanted to do was share the church with the community, and that’s how it started.” Four years later, St. Aidan’s continues to welcome a full house to the event. The upcoming hour-long Community Carol Sing takes place Thursday, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. Refreshments will once again be available after the singing comes to an end, giving everyone a chance to mingle. “We have more food than you can shake a stick at,” Martin said. “It all disappears,” Harrison said with a chuckle. In keeping with the church’s desire to make a positive contribution to the

community, freewill offerings are accepted during the carol service each year in support of the Heron Emergency Food Centre. This year, the lineup of entertainment will include an orchestra, the talents of the church’s longtime organist Tea Mamaladze, soprano Maria Knapik, as well as about 50 young singers. The mixed program will feature a number of traditional carols in different languages and a selection of carols that everyone will be invited to sing. As a retired rear admiral with the Royal Canadian Navy, Martin said he is looking forward to singing along to I Saw Three Ships during the special event, while Harrison said he really enjoys O Come, All Ye Faithful. “I like music with oomph,” Harrison said with a smile. In the lead-up to the big night, church volunteers planned to busy themselves decorating St. Aidan’s with Christmas boughs, lights and a four-metre-high Christmas tree that will dazzle those who attend the performance. “It’s wow,” Martin said. “Young kids look at it and they say, ‘Wow.’” St. Aidan’s is located at 934 Hamlet Rd.

Submitted

St. Aidan’s Anglican Church in Elmvale Acres will host its fourth-annual Community Carol Sing on Thursday, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend the event, which will feature a choir, orchestra, solo performances and opportunities for everyone to sing traditional Christmas carols.

Nowhere to go but up for Sens

T

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

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

Pondering a dream for LeBreton, again

I

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

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

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

Many professional sports teams in the ’70s and ’80s built their arenas and stadiums in the suburbs where land was cheap and parking was ample. For a lot of them, the experiment didn’t work and they moved back downtown. Some teams, such as the Toronto Blue Jays, wisely resisted the urge to move to the suburbs. Now, the Rogers Centre, formerly SkyDome, has helped bring vitality to a downtown neighbourhood. Imagine Toronto getting something right. Is it a dream to ponder such an outcome for Ottawa? Perhaps not. But even if downtown hockey does not materialize, the principle of having major attractions surrounded by bars, restaurants and stores is still worth pursuing. Another museum would help, as was argued here recently. A professional sports facility would help even more, but with some provisos. EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

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

Have a festive frugal Christmas

A

few months ago I met with a financial planner to create a better savings regime for my kids’ education and my own retirement. The first step was to lay out all our income and spending, including obvious things like mortgage payments and household bills, but also less evident line items like personal care, groceries and gifts. I’ll be honest with you, I’ve been tracking our spending for two years, so I know, down to the penny, what I spend in each category. Overall, the financial planner was impressed with our frugal grocery budget, clothing and household bills. But when she got to my gift budget, she may have taken a sharp intake of breath. I don’t know. I wasn’t there. But I did get a phone call a while later. “Congratulations, Brynna,” she said. “You win a prize.” “For what?”

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse “Of all the clients I’ve had in nearly 30 years, you have the highest gift budget I’ve ever seen,” she said. “As a percentage?” “No. You have the highest gift budget I’ve ever seen.” “That’s because I’m the only one of your clients to offer you an honest assessment,” I said. The gift budget includes any money spent on special occasions – birthday parties, anniversary trips, etc. But we don’t go all out at birthdays. We stay home and eat homemade cake, so I don’t get it. My pre-school-aged

daughter, who happens to be born in the summer when we’re usually camping, was feted this year with a pancake, two candles and a sheet of stickers from the camp store. As I’ve noted in this column before, I don’t even like shopping. Malls make me dizzy. Spending money makes my pocketbook and my head hurt. Not to mention I make gifts and frequently cut people from my buying list. And yet, there it was, the fact that I apparently overspend – big time – and outspend everyone my financial planner has ever known on

Notice to our customers

For clothing, sports equipment or musical instruments, see what kind of deals you can get on secondhand goods. You can save more than 50 per cent when you purchase used goods. Buying gifts for people outside of the family? Take advantage of buy-one, get-one deals, single-day online deals and free shipping for parcels abroad. Finally, get creative. For years, my neighbour, now retired, held a top job in the government. Every year she took a craft course. One year it was stained glass; another year flower arranging; another time, it was jewellery making. She’d use the course to make gifts for her entire team and even some family members, too. Christmas shouldn’t be a time when our debt grows ever higher. Gifts are meant to be a token of love and affection, not an affliction. If you’re like most Canadians, you already finished your holiday shopping in November anyway. That means you can spend the next few weeks enjoying the true spirit of Christmas without spending a penny.

gifts and occasions. Starting with Christmas, we have to cut back. As it turns out, I’m not the only one cutting back this year. The average Canadian will spend considerably less on everything from décor to entertaining in December compared to 2013, according to the Bank of Montreal’s holiday spending outlook. Last year, individuals spent $1,810 on gifts, entertainment and travel. This year, that number is expected to fall to $1,517, with Canadians spending 19 per cent less on gifts, and 25 per cent less on entertaining than they did last year. The only number that remains stable, according to the report released in November, is holiday travel. On average, Canadians will spend $700 per person on travel over the Christmas vacation. The cut in spending is good news for Canadian households, which are mired in debt.

The ratio of credit debt to disposable income, often used as an indicator of burden on households, rose to 163.6 per cent in the second quarter this year, an increase of more than a percentage point over the first part of the year, and continues to rise. Christmas is frequently a time when people rack up credit card debt, paying off holiday tabs well into the following year. Indeed, respondents to the Bank of Montreal report cited cutting costs as the number one reason for the decrease in their projected spending over the holidays. If you’re looking to save money this year, as we are, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve, especially when buying for your own kids. First, don’t blow the budget on toddlers. Children under three won’t know the difference between a giant dollhouse and an old refrigerator box. As the youngest of three, my daughter has tons of toys. Her favourite? Pots and pans and measuring cups, straight out of the kitchen drawer. We’ve budgeted about $25 for her this year.

St. Thomas church, health centre get kids cooking Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

More kids and teens will soon get the chance to roll up their sleeves and cook up some nutritious fun. The Food Facts and Fun program, offered for free to youth in the Albion-Heatherington neighbourhood through a collaborative partnership between St. Thomas the Apostle Anglican Church and the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, will be offered for a second year beginning in January. “The main success is really in seeing the young participants both enjoying the food preparation and cooking part and also appearing to get a better handle on food preparation and knowing a little bit more about nutrition,” said Derwyn Sangster, a longtime church volunteer and chairman of the program steering group.

Since the program’s launch in February, upwards of 45 kids ages eight to 13 from the vulnerable lower-income neighbourhood learned how to prepare pizzas, carrot cookies, fruit yogurt smoothies and fruit kebabs, among other delicious, healthy and low-cost recipes, during three eight-week sessions and an intensive oneweek summertime session. “It’s a youth age range where we think they’re old enough to be comfortable at a certain level in the kitchen and at an age where they are quite easy with learning,” Sangster said. The kids enjoyed the hands-on experience of baking, mixing and assembling tasty treats, as well as learning about the food groups, healthy eating habits, simple meal planning and preparation and new and affordable recipes. Participant surveys reR0013055971

vealed some of the interesting new lessons that were learned. One child said they didn’t know carrots could be added to cookie batter. “That was a surprise, I would say,” said Sangster, adding that another participant said she enjoyed learning a new recipe for hummus. Each session also included a visit to a grocery store, as well as instruction and games on safe food handling, among other lessons. Parents were also invited one evening to help out in the kitchen, take part in the games and were given a cookbook with the recipes the kids followed. “We want to make sure that what the kids are learning can be shared with the people in their families who actually make the food purchase decisions,” Sangster said. “We’re sort of focusing on the kids but engaging the parents, in a sense, through the kids.” The St. Thomas church, which spearheaded the initiative, secured four years of funding for Food Fun and

Facts through the Anglican Archdiocese of Ottawa’s Growing in Faith Together grant program. During the initial steps of the program’s development, the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre helped flesh out the idea and provided a dietitian’s expertise and staff, as well as volunteer training. Health centre staff, together with volunteers from St. Thomas and Rideau Park United Church, coached the young participants through the flavourful lessons. “Each of us brought something to the table,” Sangster said. Given the success of the program’s inaugural year, organizers are looking to offer five sessions in 2015. There is also hope of growing the program, and offering it in a different venue on another night with the help of additional church partners so that more kids and teens can benefit. The key will be in securing enough church volunteers, said Sangster. “That is a bit of a dream at this point,” the Alta Vista

Brookfield raises funds for Operation Veterans

I am very pleased to have tabled legislation that will protect passenger safety by providing municipalities with stronger enforcement tools to combat illegal taxis. On December 3rd, I presented my Private Member’s Bill, entitled The Protecting Passenger Safety Act. This bill would, if passed, amend sections of the Highway Traffic Act that relate to picking up passengers for the purpose of transporting them for compensation without a license, permit or authorization. The bill would increase fines for each offense, and add penalties that include demerit points, license suspension and vehicle impoundment.

Please consider making a difference for

at your local LCBO between

December 1st and January 3rd as part of the

This legislation is about protecting passenger safety, which is paramount. Stiffening penalties for driving illegal cabs provides municipalities with the enforcement tools they need to address the serious safety concerns surrounding illegal cabs.

The staff and students at Brookfield High School raised $1,780 for a program that helps out Canadian veterans. Operation Veterans is a non-profit organization founded by Dr. Paul Kavanagh from Laval, Que. in association with the Canadian War Museum. Its purpose is to raise funds across Canada in order to provide veterans a meal in the Mess, the War Museum’s cafeteria. The meal is a tangible way of thanking veterans for the sacrifices they made in the past, as well as for the day to day support they show the museum, often providing hours of volunteer service in the museum itself. Additionally, the organization helps fund the development of online modules about diplomacy and peacekeeping that are used by teachers of Canadian history as a way to encourage young people to become familiar with Canada’s military history and

the essential role played by our veterans. The fundraiser took place on Nov. 7, beginning with a pancake breakfast, organized by Brookfield’s Students’ Council with the assistance of the school’s office administrator, Cathy Babcock. With the breakfast, students were able to raise $1,780 to contribute to Operation Veterans. A cheque was presented to Claude Drouin; a representative from the War Museum who joined the school the morning of the breakfast. Last year’s event rasied $1,500. Parents, as well as the community at large, were invited to participate and the support given by the business community was overwhelming. Denny’s South Keys restaurant contributed the pancake and other businesses provided door prizes. For the sum of $5, students and guests received pancakes, fruit and a choice of juice or coffee. They were also automatically entered into a draw for a wide variety of items provided by the sponsoring businesses.

Municipalities, including the City of Ottawa, have identified serious public safety concerns stemming from illegal cabs. Investigations into illegal cabs in the City of Ottawa, for example, uncovered: unlicensed drivers, drivers with criminal records, drivers operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs and alcohol, drivers operating without car insurance and drivers misleading vulnerable passengers with regard to fares. This legislation is about ensuring that the rules in place for the safety of passengers are being followed – and that municipalities have the right enforcement tools to address these problems when they are not. I’m proud of this bill, and I believe that it will help keep passengers in safe.

We are here to help Please contact me at my community office with any matter that is important to you. My staff and I will always do our best to help you.

Police to ‘ticket’ youth with coupons to reward random acts of kindness

online news at your fingertip

Erin McCracken

Performances Begin December 18th

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa police are giving out a different kind of ticket – the kind that brings smiles, rewards good behaviour and helps break the ice between officers and youth. Dubbed Operation Heat, Ottawa police, in partnership with Mac’s Convenience Stores, launched the year-round initiative for the first time in the city on Dec. 15. Officers will be giving out 10,000 coupons to youth they spot doing random acts of kindness, such as holding doors open for their elders, helping someone move or wearing a bike helmet. The coupons will entitle them to a free regular hot chocolate in the winter months at any Mac’s store. Coupons for free frozen drinks will be issued in the summer as part of Operation Freeze. A number of Canterbury High School students smiled in surprise as officers handed out the coupons at the program’s launch outside a Mac’s at the corner of Canterbury Avenue and Arch Street – a store victimized last year by large groups of shoplifting youth, a problem that has since been addressed. “It gives someone more reason to do something good,” said Robert Chitiu, 16. The perception of police

Canterbury High School students Kito Ballentyne, 16, left, Nick Bohne, 16 and Robert Chitiu, 16, smile after veing ‘ticketed’ by Ottawa community police officer Const. Moe Elmi during the launch of Operation Heat on Dec. 15. among young people today differs depending on who you ask, said Chitiu’s friend Nick Bohn. “Some people see them and they get scared. Some people see them and they feel protected. It all depends on the person,” Bohn said. “Some people have had a bad experience with them. So just based on that, they judge all cops.” Mac’s initiated the coupon program in Ontario eight years ago. Orléans community police officer Const. Jean Paul Vincelette felt the initiatve would be a good fit for Ottawa after he heard about it following a serious robbery and assault this summer at a Mac’s store in Orléans. When investigators issue appeals for information on crimes, such as robberies, the hope is that more young

people will remember their positive interaction with officers through Operation Heat and feel comfortable calling in their tips, said Staff Sgt. Mike Haarbosch, head of the Ottawa police robbery unit. “From our perspective with the robberies, more often than not the people who are committing the robberies are from a younger demographic,” he said. “This is one more initiative to try and bridge that gap.” By handing out a reward that recognizes positive be-

havior, police hope it will serve as a building block that helps build trust among residents, some of them new Canadians who may come from countries where police are not viewed positively, said Vincelette. “This potentially could work. Are we 100 per cent sure how well it works or will it work with every youth? No,” he said, but added the hope is that when an officer gives out a coupon …“all of a sudden he’s a friend. He’s not the enemy anymore.”

Algonquin College cements commitment to aboriginal students Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Algonquin College signed a protocol to reinforce the school’s commitment to serving aboriginal students on Dec. 3. The Indigenous Education Protocol will provide schools with a framework to better serve their communities’ indigenous students and has been adopted by 19 colleges and institutes across the country. An additional eight schools have committed to signing on. The protocol has seven principals, including commitments to implementing more aboriginal curriculum and increasing the number of employees at institutions that come from a First Nations, Inuit or Métis background. “This protocol will encourage our members to be more inclusive of indigenous cultures and even more proactive in eliminating the barriers to education that many indigenous learners still face,” said Denise Amyot, the president and CEO of Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan), which created the protocol. The number of aboriginal people who are attending college has almost doubled since 1996, according to a

2013 Western University report. But many of them do not self-identify as aboriginal, meaning they miss out on services they are entitled to at colleges, said Anna Toneguzzo, the manager of government relations and policy research at CICan. The protocol aims to create a more welcoming environment for aboriginal students so that more of them will self-identify, Toneguzzo said. It also just provides a really good framework to enhance partnerships with Métis, Inuit and First Nations, she said. Many colleges already have structures in place to properly accommodate aboriginal students, but the protocol serves as an aspirational goal for more schools to join their ranks, Toneguzzo said. “An institution that’s willing to make the commitment to sign on to the protocol is because they have the structures in place,” she said. Algonquin College boasts the largest aboriginal student centre in Ontario and around 1,000 students from Métis, Inuit and First Nations backgrounds. The school first established a general arts and science program in Aboriginal studies in 1994. As part of its efforts to accommodate aboriginal students, the school

The heads of schools, which are part of Colleges and Institutes Canada, sign the Indigenous Education Protocol on Dec. 3. consults aboriginal communities through its Aboriginal Education Council, which is made up of school administrators and members of aboriginal populations. “The council has been able to incrementally increase the services and education we’re able to provide for

aboriginal learners,” said Jeff Agate, the school’s manager of Counselling and Aboriginal Services. Based on the advice of the council, the school is now in the process of creating a career expo for aboriginal job seekers and employers. Agate said the protocol exempli-

fies a direction the school has actively shifted towards over the years. “If a college strives towards the seven goals of the protocol, it will create a high quality learning environment for aboriginal learners and that’s why the college has committed to it,” Agate said.

DRIVE SAFELY Russell Road apartment fire forces out tenants Erin McCracken

Two people had to be rescued from the balcony of their second-storey apartment on Russell Road after fire broke out in their kitchen early Sunday morning. Four occupants of the six-storey complex at 1825 Russell Rd., including the two rescued tenants, were forced to find another place to stay after their units suffered extensive smoke and fire damage. About 25 Ottawa firefighters from approximately four fire stations arrived on scene at 1:04 a.m. on Dec. 14 and reported seeing flames and thick smoke from outside the building. “Fortunately (the tenants) were on the second floor so we were able to use a ground ladder to get them down,” said Ottawa fire spokesman Capt. Marc Messier. The fire, which, along with heavy smoke, caused an estimated $50,000 in damages to the unit and $25,000 to the building, was

brought under control at 1:13 a.m. An Ottawa Fire Service investigator ruled careless cooking as the cause of the accidental fire. Evacuated tenants were sheltered in OC Transpo buses, and the Red Cross and Salvation Army’s victim services team was called in to assist the four displaced tenants, two from the unit where the fire began and two from the above unit. Two men and two women, all residents of the impacted units, were assessed at the scene by paramedics but declined to be transported to hospital for possible “slight” smoke inhalation, said J. P. Trottier, Ottawa paramedic spokesman. Another male tenant, 72, was taken to hospital with unrelated health problems. “When we arrived at scene he was having chest pains so he was treated for a cardiac chest pains that we say is unrelated to the fire, meaning that it’s not smoke inhalation, it’s not burns,” Trottier said. “It is (related to the fire) in an indirect way, but he certainly had known cardiac problems.”

Ottawa man charged with impaired driving in Heron Road crash Ottawa investigators urge crash witnesses to come forward Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

An Ottawa man is facing impaired and dangerous driving charges after a crash on Heron Road at Riverside Drive sent a woman to hospital with a serious head injury and severe facial trauma. Police, fire and paramedics responded to the scene on Dec. 12 around 11:25 p.m. where a pickup truck and an older model Ford Fusion car had collided. “The driver of the pickup truck fled the scene on foot but was arrested by patrol officers, with the assistance of (a police canine team), shortly thereafter,” Det. Const. Darwin Turner, with the Ottawa police collision investigation unit, said in a statement. The trapped 43-year-old female driver of the car regained consciousness at the scene of the crash soon after paramedics began treating her.

In addition to suffering from a head injury, the victim had cuts to her face and suspected facial fractures, according to paramedics. Firefighters, meanwhile, worked to remove the roof of the car before the victim could be placed in a waiting ambulance.

“There is a lot of damage to her vehicle – a very, very high impact collision.” J.P. Trottier Ottawa paramedic spokesman

Fire crews opted to focus on the roof “rather than waste a whole lot of time with a door that was severely damaged,” said Ottawa fire spokesman Capt. Marc Messier. “I think they were in a rush to get her out so they just did a roof removal and then (focused on placing her on a) backboard and get her out as quickly as possible and get her to the hospital.” J.P. Trottier, Ottawa para-

medic spokesman, said based on photos taken at the crash site by a paramedic supervisor, the front end of the car suffered extensive damage. “There is a lot of damage to her vehicle – a very, very high impact collision,” he said. The victim was transported to hospital in critical condition. Heron Road westbound between Riverside and Prince of Wales drives was closed through the night. The three impacted traffic lanes were re-opened Saturday around 9:30 a.m. An Ottawa man has been charged with the impaired operation of a motor vehicle File causing bodily harm, oper- An Ottawa man is facing four criminal charges after a pickup truck and a Ford Fusion car ating a motor vehicle and collided on Heron Road between Riverside and Prince of Wales drives late in the evening causing an accident involv- on Dec. 12.

Thank you Thank you for your trust and confidence in electing me to serve you as your City Councillor for River Ward. It has been a very busy first three weeks on the job, with continued training, meetings with city staff on key portfolios within River Ward and meetings with residents to discuss a myriad of issues. I feel energized and ready to go. New Duties At the December 10 City Council meeting, I was appointed the new Vice-Chairperson of the Community and Protective Services Committee, working alongside new Chairperson, Councillor Diane Deans. Councillor Deans and I have already met a number of times to discuss issues that border our two wards and I am convinced we will forge a strong and collaborative relationship. I have also been appointed to serve on the Planning and Environment Committees, as well as the Board of Directors of the Central Canadian Exhibition.

Tomas Weldu CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

Ottawa Police Service signed their first protocol to combat violence in 2010 and have since trained more than 1,000 employees in the Ottawa region in its standards. An additional 95 members from Ottawa community organizations received training in the protocol after it was signed Dec. 11. Now that the new partners have signed on, they will form a larger network of information sharing about students who are at risk of violent behaviour. “It’s important we work together and harmonize our practices,” said Jean Cloutier the principal of safe schools for the French Catholic School Board. “These partners deal with our kids in the community. So they know the kids. When we do a violence threat assessment, we need to have the big picture of the kid. We know what they’re like at school, but maybe the police know something about them we need to know.”

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

A number of community organizations have joined Ottawa’s English and French school boards’ fight to snuff out violence in the city’s schools. The groups, which included the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa, Maison Fraternité and the Crossroads Children’s Centre, signed the Community-based Violence/Threat Risk Assessment Protocol at the Confederation Education Centre in Nepean on Dec. 11. The protocol sets out a framework to prevent and reduce violence in schools by requiring community partners and schools to communicate with each other when students show signs of violent behaviour. “What happens with children in need is that there are many different people that have different pieces of the puzzle and now with this protocol we’re all speaking the same language and it gives opportunities to share information to better support children and their families,” said Elizabeth Paquette, the chief psychologist and head of the mental-health unit at the Ottawa Catholic School Board. When teachers or faculty recognize violent behaviour or signs a student might become violent, the protocol requires the principal to contact a supervisory officer at the school board. A multidisciplinary team is then set up, which will interview students, parents and teachers and determine the level of risk of the student. The team will then figure out whether any intervention is needed. “When there is youth who is on a pathway to some highly violent behaviour, whether it is towards other peers, towards teachers or in the community too, now there is a process to act on that,” Paquette said. The school boards and the

Six communities chosen for sustainability project Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Ottawa not-for-proďŹ t EnviroCentre is looking to kick start local environmental sustainability projects in six Ottawa communities after securing provincial funding. The centre’s three-year Sustain Your Community project aims to engage communities to identify and address sustainability concerns in their community. The centre has identiďŹ ed three communities it will work with, with three more to be added in 2015. The EnviroCentre chose Lowertown, Beaverbrook and Constance Bay, representing urban, suburban and rural neighbourhoods, to start their project, said community sustainability program co-ordinator Josie Howitt. “We’ve been hosting information and consultation sessions in the three initial partner communities over the last month, so we are really looking to see from that what the local issues are with regards to four kind of sustainability themes,â€? she said. “The four main themes are energy efďŹ ciency, sustainable transpor-

That included concerns about older homes in the area lacking in some energy efďŹ ciencies. There was also a focus on March Road’s 80 kilometres per hour speed limit. “Some of these things might be outside of the scope of our actual initiative,â€? said Howitt, though the road does provide a barrier between those without cars and grocery stores, ďŹ tting into the project’s local food theme, she said.

He suggested some areas of focus, including ageing green space management for park environments, and renewing Beaverbrook as a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly community. The next step in the process is to create the Sustain Beaverbrook Action Committee, which would help to choose and implement projects. The group’s ďŹ rst meeting will take place sometime in January, though there is no ďŹ rm date as of yet, said Howitt. “But if people are interested in being informed about that when it comes about, then they can email us at sustain@envirocentre.ca,â€? she said. Though the EnviroCentre has expertise in all four of the project’s sustainability themes, this is the ďŹ rst time it has engaged particular communities in this way, said Howitt. A grant from the Ontario Trilium Foundation in the amount of $276,600 kicked-off the Sustain Your Community project.

Second-term councillors take on leadership roles Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

City council approved the members and leaders for its committees and boards during its Dec. 10 meeting. Several committees, commissions and boards saw turnover in their leadership positions based on the advice of Mayor Jim Watson and the nominating committee. Transit commission

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said he’s looking forward to tackling one of the most challenging city bodies, the transit commission, as its new chairman. Blais will preside over the commission, which includes both city councillors and citizen commissioners for four of the most pivotal years for OC Transpo as construction of the light-rail system wraps up and the trains being running in 2018. But there will be a lot of hurdles to jump before getting there, such as remapping the bus routes to feed into

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais will lead the city’s transit commission as he heads into his second term in office. the new LRT system and overseeing construction detours, and Blais said he is up to the challenge. The role came about because the mayor sought him out for it, Blais said.

“It’s obviously a very challenging role,� he said. “OC Transpo has a direct and immediate impact on the daily lives of almost every Ottawa resident, whether you take the bus or not. “We’re at a very critical stage in the evolution of our transit system as we begin the process to move towards light rail and the Transitway conversion coming up next year, so there are a lot of challenges, but at the same time a lot of opportunities to demonstrate how good OC Transpo is and that we really do have a world-class system.� Blais said he has taken transit regularly over the course of his first term on city council and he intends to do so more often now that he is the chairman, including “transit field trips� around the city with the vicechairman, Gloucester-South Nepean Coun.

to Canada’s national round table on the environment and the economy, Chernushenko is well-known for his knowledge of an advocacy on environmental issues. He also served on the International Olympic Committee’s commission on sport and the environment and is certified as a green building professional by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification program. As a first-term councillor elected in 2010, Chernushenko said it wasn’t the right time for him to take on that leadership role, but with former River Ward councillor Maria McRae leaving politics, the position was open and presented an opportunity for him in this term. Taking on issues such as the green bin program, the city’s maligned organics recycling contract with Orgaworld and Plasco’s proposed waste-to-energy facility will be on the agenda for the environment committee this term.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year! The holiday season is a time to reflect on accomplishments and all the hard work put in during the year, and in that spirit I would like to thank you for electing me your New City Councillor. We have already set a rigorous work pace that will ramp up even more in the New Year. In the January I will begin my work on the various committees I have had the honor of being appointed to: the Community and Protective Services Committee, the Environment Committee, the Transportation Committee, the Ottawa Board of Health, and Vice Chair of the Transit Commission. In this festive season I would like to wish all of you and your families warmest wishes for the holidays and the New Year, with a safe return back to the exciting year ahead. Honey Gables Community Meeting On Tuesday December 9th I had the pleasure of attending the Honey Gables Development Association meeting. In my first few weeks as councillor I have also been in correspondence with other heads of associations throughout the ward. Community Associations are essential in creating a direct link for our office and the diverse needs of our ward. I strongly encourage you to engage your community associations and to use their websites and resources. Thank you to Honey Gables President Heather Gulyas for hosting us at her home. O-Train Expansion Public Information Meeting In the New Year the City of Ottawa will begin issuing notifications for the first public information meetings concerning the O-train extension from Greenboro Station to Riverside South (Bowesville Road) and the Ottawa MacDonald-Cartier International Airport Planning and Environmental Assessment Study. Meetings are scheduled for Jan 13, 2015 6pm – 8pm at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre and Jan 15, 2015 6pm – 8pm at the St. Anthony’s Banquet Hall. This project is important to me and I will continue to be a strong advocate for the o-train extension into our community.

Senators move would not be a death blow for Kanata: Hubley Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Ottawa Senators interest in moving the team’s arena to LeBreton Flats has Kanata politicians and business leaders hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley has already called on the West Ottawa Board of Trade and the city’s economic development manager to undertake “some high-level analysis on what the impacts would be and what some of the options are” to reduce the blow to Kanata’s business community. Any move to LeBreton Flats, which is National Capital Commission land, would take 10 years or more, said Hubley and that could happen only if the Senators decide to put forth a proposal to the National Capital Commission by Jan. 7, and the Crown corporation judges it to be the best choice. “This will be a very long process,” said Hubley. “(The Sens) are not moving out next year. It would probably be a 10- or 15year planning cycle.” With the existing arena useable for another 20 to 30 years, a lot of the Sens’ money is tied up in the facility and could not be easily re-purposed, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “I was told months ago they are looking at all sorts of things and they like to look ahead,” she said, adding she is not privy to any recent discussions about a developer approaching the hockey club about a LeBreton plan. Kanata North Business Improvement Area executive director Jenna Sudds said the impact of the Senators leaving Kanata would be huge. “The number of small businesses in the vicinity that live and breathe by events at the (Canadian Tire Centre), it would result in many local businesses closing their doors, which would have a massive effect on the entire community,” she said. Rosemary Leu, executive director of the West Ottawa Board of Trade which operates in Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton, said the community should focus on supporting the team as best they can to keep a move from

File

News that the Ottawa Senators are contemplating a move from Kanata to LeBreton Flats has some Kanata residents worrying about the effect on area businesses. happening. “You can look at the first line businesses that would certainly see an impact,” she said. “As for the bars and the restaurants that are all full on game night in this part of town, would that change? I don’t know, but at this point we are going to focus on doing whatever we can to support our team and keep them here in our community. Whatever the board of trade can do to encourage the community to support the team, we will certainly do that.” The push for the creation of other businesses around the Canadian Tire Centre has not gone well, she said, with plans for a casino falling through in 2013. That the city’s plan for a light rail transit system leaves the city’s west end until last likely didn’t help matters either, said Leu. “Mr. Melnyk has been very vocal about needing other sources of revenue around the team and I understand that and it’s been unfortunate that every step that they have tried to put forward I think has fallen through,” she said. MOVING REQUIREMENTS

Any decision to move the Senators to LeBreton Flats would depend on the NCC approval. The hockey club has confirmed they are actively considering making a proposal, having

been approached “by numerous well established private sector companies and community organizations who have expressed a strong desire to partner with us on developing a world-class proposal for the site,” said a statement by Senators Sports and Entertainment. The NCC plans to look for a proposal that will “serve as an economic driver, feature innovative use of the land and bring design excellence, animation and a unique public experience to the nation’s capital.” The anchor institution would not have to be a public one, said Mark Kristmanson, chief executive officer of the NCC in May. Hubley said Kanata will be prepared to bolster its economy and keep businesses running, perhaps with a new opportunity to develop the land around the Canadian Tire Centre. “While it would be a great loss to lose our team emotionally, economically I think, with 10 years, we should be able to plan on that,” he said. “Kanata will live on. Rumours of our death are greatly exaggerated.” As for whether or not the Sens arena currently rests in “the middle of nowhere,” as suggested by Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird who oversees the NCC – “Nowhere is in Oklahoma, I looked it up,” said Hubley.

He added he had already contacted the minister about the quote, saying he hoped it was taken out of context as Kanata continues to be one of the fastest growing communities in the city. Wilkinson said that, if the Sens did decide to move, she would not stand in their way, but that she would not support the city investing any money in a new facility. “If the city did that, they would be taking and putting funding into one area of the city and being very destructive to many businesses in another part of the city” she said. If the city paid the Sens to move, the businesses in Kanata that stand to lose out could have grounds to sue the city, Wilkinson said. Mayor Jim Watson also said he wouldn’t be willing to give the club money to build a new arena. The Sens have some of their own requirements for making a move as well: “We feel very strongly that this could only be possible with strong community support,” said the club’s statement. Michael Powell, president of the Dalhousie Community Association just south of LeBreton Flats, said he wants to keep an open mind about what ideas could come out in the NCC’s call for proposals.

Library board

Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney said it will be a privilege to oversee the library board during a period of “dramatic change.” Tierney, who has sat on the board for four years, was officially named as its new chairman on Dec. 10. The next four years has been set up as a pivotal time for the Ottawa Public Library as it intends to embark on a plan to create a new central branch. “Obviously a central library is a big part of the focus, as a (public-private partnership), so being able to play a part in that is very important,” Tierney said. “Libraries are changing. It’s not just the Dewey decimal system and books, which we still respect, but we have a whole new series of technology programs.” For instance, there is a

six-month waitlist to use the public library’s 3D printer located in the makerspace at the Centrepointe branch, Tierney said. Making the library more about creating “spaces and places” and offering programming and access to technology will be a focus moving forward, he said. Tierney will also serve as vice-chairman of the planning committee, one of the more controversial and important committees. Tierney said that as an urban councillor, he felt it was important to ensure councillors from within the Greenbelt were well-represented on that committee. “I have a lot of these infill issues and I think I can bring a new perspective to the table,” he said. Built heritage

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum was the only

one of his newly elected cohort to be given a leadership role in the new city council structure. He will serve as the head of the built heritage subcommittee, which makes recommendations to the planning committee on heritage issues. “Our ward is home to two heritage conservation districts, so it is an important issue for people in our ward,” Nussbaum said. “Even for people who don’t live in a heritage conservation district, I certainly heard at the door (during the election) an interest in ensuring that as a city, we are protecting and promoting heritage in appropriate ways.” Nussbaum said he’ll approach his new role with a humble attitude and be open to learning more about heritage issues from the city’s experts and from the public. “It’s clear as a new member of council that I will have to consult with lots of people

Ottawa road crews prepared for winter’s onslaught Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Changing weather patterns are making snow removal a challenge, said winter operations chief Luc Gagne, but the city is ready for the deluge. Although his department has already blown through its $58 million budget for 2014 thanks to a lengthy winter earlier this year, Gagne’s staff has had a chance to catch its breath this winter. At this time last year, 40 centimetres of snow had already fallen. While there is less snow so far this winter, the instance of freeze-thaws cycles is increasing, so the city is ready to pre-treat roads with liquid salt to prevent ice build-up, Gagne said. Residents can follow @ottawacity on Twitter for updated information about snow clearing operations. The first roads to be cleared, which get plows almost as soon as snow begins falling, are the Transitway and highway 174. Major arterial roads such as Hunt Club, Woodroffe and March roads are next. Residential streets begin to be plowed once seven centimetres of snow has fallen, Gagne said. Those operations can begin up to 10 hours after a snow event.

Complete removal of snow on residential streets, from curb to curb, happens after snow buildup reduces the travelable width of the road to five metres, Gagne said. The clearing of intersections, pedestrian crossings and the city’s 6,000 bus stops begins after a snow event has ended. Gagne reminded motorists to keep a safe distance back from snow plows and avoid passing them, particularly when they are turning, because plows are wider than most other vehicles. By the numbers

• Average of 236 centimetres of snowfall a year • Average of 178 millimetres of freezing rain in a winter • $58 million snow removal budget for 2014 • 180,000 tonnes of salt • 4.5 million litres of liquid salt for pre-treating roads • 580 pieces of winter road and sidewalk maintenance equipment • 6,000 kilometers of roads • 2,200 km of sidewalks and pathways • 6,000 bus stops Laura Mueller/Metroland • 18 maintenance yards City crews ready road salt supplies and some of the 580 pieces of equipment for one of the first winter • 619 employees storms expected on Dec. 10.

Warming up their political pipes Mayor Jim Watson is joined in signing Christmas songs by former pre-amalgamation Cumberland mayors Brian Coburn and Gerry Lalonde, former Vanier mayor Guy Couisineau, River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington, former Osgoode mayor and councillor Doug Thompson and former Ottawa mayor Allan Higdon for St. Patrick’s Home of Ottawa residents on Dec. 11. The ‘Old Grey Mayors’ sing-a-long takes place in a different venue every year, which Watson joked is because the group is never invited back to the same place because of its singing.

O Come All Ye Faithful

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

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

@BarrhavenJan @BarrhavenJan

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

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

We Wish You A Merry Christmas English

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

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

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

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

Jingle Bells James Pierpont

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

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

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

William James Kirkpatrick Stanley L. Osborne

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

Moffatt wants to lead rural committee to more prominence New meeting locations, resolution to D-55 water quality issue top the agenda Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt wants to make the city’s rural and agriculture affairs committee s stronger voice for rural residents now that he’s in charge. Moffatt was named as the new chairman of the committee on Dec. 10. He replaced Doug Thompson, who led the committee before he retired from politics after the recent municipal election. Moffatt said ARAC is an important body because it ensures that rural issues don’t “get swallowed up in the larger picture.” “Some issues that could be seen as minor from a citywide perspective are important to rural residents,” he said. The committee deserves more “prominence and stature,” Moffatt said. Even before he was named as the new chairman, Moffatt was already successful in proposing one change that works towards that. Dur-

ing city council’s first meeting of the new term on Dec. 3, Moffatt gained his colleague’s support for requiring ARAC to approve changes to rural areas when the city reviews its development charges bylaw every five years (the bylaw was just updated earlier this year). Next on his list is making a change that would require ARAC to sign off on Official Plan changes relating to the rural areas before city council can adopt an updated Official Plan, which is the blueprint for land-use planning directions across the city. Having grown up in rural Ottawa and represented one of only three wards in the city that are entirely rural, the second-term councillor said he’s a perfect fit for the job. “I think I can be a big voice for all of rural Ottawa,” Moffatt said. Moffatt will have some decisions to make as the new chairman, including deciding a new location for the ARAC meetings. On Dec. 3, city council voted to end the practice

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt will suceed former Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson in leading the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee. of having regular ARAC meetings scheduled in rural locations across the city. Moffatt said the first ARAC meetings of this new term of council will be held at city hall, but he will confer with the other councillors

who sit on the committee to determine whether another location, such as Ben Franklin Place in Nepean, would be a more central and convenient spot. Some meetings could still be held

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

Catholic school board taps Barrhaven trustee’s replacement Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

One of the most unusual Ottawa Catholic School Board elections has come to an end, a bit more than a month after the final votes were counted. The board has appointed Spencer Warren to replace Andrea Steenbakkers, who was elected as Barrhaven’s trustee in Zone 4 in October despite having dropped out of the race. “This is actually a humbling way of doing it because now I’ve earned the spot now by doing the interview process and an election process,” Warren said. “It was probably harder to get this than to run for city council.” Steenbakkers won the election with 38 per cent of the vote, after she pleaded with voters not to cast their ballots for her. Stating “personal reasons,” she decided to pull the plug on her campaign less than four weeks before the election and could not get her name struck from

the ballot, as the deadline to drop out was Sept. 12. She returned donations, removed lawn signs, and asked voters to choose someone else. When she won, Steenbakkers said she was touched, but would not be joining the board. “Public trust is difficult to gain and should never be taken for granted or casually dismissed,” she said in a statement following the election. “Moreover, I was elected with the public knowing that I was unable to offer the quality of service (they deserve).” Warren came in second place with 33 per cent of the vote and Gregory Deernsted took 29 per cent. “I still consider the votes to count, because the people who voted for Andrea didn’t do their research and they should all be treated as spoiled votes,” Warren said. The election results presented a unique situation for the board, which decided to ap-

point a trustee to fill Steenbakkers’ vacancy rather than hold a byelection, which could have cost $350,000. Chairwoman Elaine McMahon said the two remaining candidates also favoured going through the appointment process rather than another election. “This way respected the electorate and at the same time gave us a chance to hear both candidates speak,” she said. The appointment process included each candidate getting a 20-minute interview at a special board meeting on Dec. 11. The board then voted on who would be appointed. Warren is a long-time community volunteer and fundraiser for CHEO, who founded the hospital’s annual charity golf tournament. “He brings a wealth of experience to the board with a strong background in community participation and involvement in our schools,” McMahon said.

Spencer Warren is selected as an Ottawa Catholic School Board trustee for Barrhaven at the Catholic Education Centre on Dec. 11.

A new glass main entrance on Elgin Street is the main feature of a $110.5-million renovation of the National Arts Centre designed by architect Donald Schmitt.

(LEED) standards. In 2012, the NAC had plans to re-do the facade along Eglin Street to make a more prominent entrance. In early 2012, the city approved changes to the light-rail tunnel currently construction that did not include an LRT station near the NAC. At the time, NAC spokeswoman Rosemary Thompson said the LRT change could put the arts centre’s Elgin entrance rebuild in jeopardy and the project went quiet after that. The NAC will remain open during construction and all scheduled performances will go ahead, according to the news release. The centre hosts more than 1,300 shows a year. The NAC revitalization will happen at the same time as a major rebuild of the city’s own cultural and performance centre, Arts Court, which is just more than 500 metres away on the other side of the Rideau Canal. Changes to Arts Court, which will reopen in late 2017, also include the addition of a 250seat screening and multi-purpose room, expanded 4,000square metre space for the Ottawa Art Gallery and four classrooms and a black-box theatre for the University of Ottawa. The city’s portion of that project is $35 million and it also includes some private development in the form of a condo and hotel tower.

The National Arts Centre will be getting a bigger and better facelift than previously planned thanks to a $110.5 million investment from the federal government. Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird and Shelly Glover, the minister of Canadian heritage and official languages, announced the plan to add a striking glass entrance on Elgin Street and refresh some of the interior performance and event spaces. The new entrance is targeted to be completed in 2017. The sprawling, 1.08-square metre NAC complex was constructed in 1969 as a centennial project. It was designed by renowned architect Fred Lebensold of ARCOP Design and the building has been praised as an architectural landmark by some. But for others, the large brown building is a windowless bunker, and the Elgin Street façade in particular has been a sore point. “The new entrance of the NAC will be warm and inviting, and will embrace the nation’s capital for the first time. With this new design we will finally face the city and its most important square,” Peter Herrndorf, president and CEO of the National Arts Centre, said in a press release. “We often call Confederation Square ‘Canada’s Square’ at

the NAC, because it’s a place where the country gathers for important anniversaries, including Remembrance Day and Canada Day.” The proposed new glass entrance was designed by architect Donald Schmitt and mimics the hexagonal shape that characterizes the arts centre’s design. The entrance will “showcase the importance of the performing arts in Canada,” according to the NAC’s news release. The entry level will connect with the Southam Hall mezzanine level. It will be constructed using glass that is capable of displaying high-definition images such as stills, videos or even live feeds of NAC performances. Public spaces for events, education, small concerts or pre-concert gatherings located on the north side of the NAC will be expanded. A new lounge will be added to the upper level of the north atrium, while a new cafe will be added to the atrium itself. A catering an event space called the Panorama Room will be expanded from a capacity of 225 people to 600 people, more than doubling in space from just under 700 square metres to 1,672 square metres. The entire project, which also include mechanical and electrical system upgrades, will meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

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

donation possible,” said York. “Thanks to them, we can help children in our community embrace healthy active lifestyles, including healthy eating.” Eastern Ontario residents can purchase the $10 coupon book with 100% of that going to CHEO. This year’s coupon book contains over $100 in savings on favourite Farm Boy products and 22 tasty recipes from the Farm Boy recipe contest winners and Farm Boy Chef, including the recipe for their coveted, December Fresh Soup of the Month—Wholesome Mushroom Kale Soup.

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

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

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

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

Preparation

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

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

December was most wonderful time of year

F

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

MARY COOK Memories made a cake for me, and put in a few coins wrapped in wax paper. That was as far as a birthday celebration went. My brothers always gave me something they had made. For the boys that could mean anything from a sling-shot for which I had absolutely no use, or a crudely whittled animal. But I was expected to heap abundant thanks on them for whatever they gave me. My sister Audrey, without fail, would take a nickle out of the corner of her hankie, and it would be sitting at my supper plate at night. “Too close to Christmas” Mother would say, which meant “don’t expect anything more than the cake.”

But sitting around the kitchen table the night of my birthday, in the middle of December, I would feel the utmost contentment. We would linger over our piece of cake, and Mother would get out her harmonica, and we’d all sing Happy Birthday. When I was very young I used to sing Happy Birthday dear Mary, until my sister Audrey told me I was just to listen and be quiet. And by the middle of December, the snow would be knee deep, the old Model T would be up on blocks in the drive shed, and everywhere we went, we travelled in the cutter or the flatbottom sleigh. By then Father would have attached the brass

bells to the horse’s harness, and I would think there wasn’t a more wonderful sound in the entire world than those bells, especially if we were travelling at night and the moon was out, and the fields looked as if they were covered with millions of diamonds. I would invariably fall asleep under the heavy blankets with the hot bricks at our feet, listening to those sleigh bells. I would think that time of year was the most wonderful of any month before or after, and never once did I think we were poor. I would think we were the richest people in the world. In December, Turkey Fair would have come and gone, and I would know that the blue sugar bowl would be fuller than at any other time of the year. And it was in December that our order from Eaton’s catalogue would arrive, delivered right to our door by the mailman. The excitement of opening the parcel (always wrapped in heavy brown paper, and tied with thick

PET OF THE WEEK

cord) once the kitchen had been cleaned up after supper, was right up there with getting new hair ribbons, or having a five cent ice cream cone from Briscoes General Store. And it was in December that we would collect the many new calendars handed out free of charge from so many of the stores in Renfrew. Most had beautiful coloured pictures of mountains, or big black horses, and always my favourite, from Scott’s Hardware, a picture of Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose in their smocked dresses and strings of pearls. The Rexall calendar was Father’s favourite, and it went right to the cow byre. It was always a blue colour, and on the monthly sheets, which were the full size of the calendar, were lists of new medicines to treat everything from the common cold, to dealing with livestock ailments, which was of interest to Father. And as the month went on, I

would be filled with the utmost excitement, knowing Christmas was just days away. Although presents were few and far between, I knew for a fact that Santa Claus would come. He never forgot my house on the Northcote Side Road. Always he left me a book, and a toy of the simplest kind, and there would be new hand knit mitts, and always the orange in the toe of my stocking. So all December would be one of sheer joy of the season and what it meant. My life would be filled with anticipation. Special church services, neighbours coming to visit, the school concert, secret trips by Mother and Father into Renfrew, and if we were lucky, the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie would arrive in time for Christmas.   December would spin by, even though I would pray that it would go on forever. Nothing could take away from me that feeling of sheer joy that month brought. When I was very young, and unaware of the hardships around me, December was always the most wonderful month of the year.

Ottawa Humane Society: Helping animals find homes for the holidays

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

Kia

dozen or so movies with variation of the phrase as the title. The 1943 song I’ll be Home for Christmas has been recorded by close to 150 singers since its first release. Clearly for a lot of us, Christmas is about homecomings. For me, since I work at the Ottawa Humane Society, some of the homecomings are for our animals, especially those that have been waiting a very long time for their forever homes. Jasper, a young, beautiful black cat has been waiting since last February. He is affectionate and playful, and all he needs is a special diet. Max is a three-year old retriever/ hound mix who just needs a little training

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

My name is Kia, I am the master of my Jungle at home! I am just a little bit spoiled, even though my other house companion dogs, don’t believe so.. Christmas is coming, I have to look good for Santa this year, as I may get extra special treats! Do you think your pet is cute enough to be “THE PET OF THE WEEK”?
