Together for Vanier to showcase new working plan to residents Coffee house aims to get residents participation Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Want to join the local community association or meet up with people who love to talk about anything related to parks, transit or development?

Or instead would you be interested in learning more about what your local community service centre does?

That is what this month’s Together for Vanier coffee house is all about -- encouraging people to gather and learn about their neighbourhood.

The Together for Vanier group - a resident and Vanier Community Service Centre-led group, will host a coffee house on Jan. 29 to showcase all the existing community organizations, committees and activities that take place in the neighbourhood in an effort to get people who have expressed interest in volunteering in their community to become involved.

“Its kind of a ‘speed dating’ for Vanier organizations,” said Together for Vanier member Rose Anne Leonard.

Some of the areas of interest people can learn about will include: • Enhancing parks • Provide opportunities for youth in Vanier

• Community gardens • Volunteering opportunities • Heritage • Transit This evening is the final result of a community forum which the service centre organized back in October.

The forum and a 2013 neighbourhood survey helped facilitate discussions and create a 2014 working plan which will also be presented at the coffee house.

“Essentially this is the next logical step that follows the forum,” said Jean-Michel Rousseau, community liaison officer for service centre.

“We wanted to catch the attention of people as soon as we could after the forum.”

Both the results from the survey and a report from the forum are available on the Together for Vanier’s website, ensemblepourvanier.com.

The format of the evening will feature a meet-and-greet icebreaker, a talking circle where community groups will talk about their activities for 2014 and an opportunity for residents to meet one-on-one with specific groups to learn more, join or offer ideas.

The coffee house will take place at 270 Marier Ave. from 7 to 9 p.m. and everyone is welcome.

gain more exposure and interest from the greater community, Clapin said.

Just like the vehicle’s late owner, “Bennie” is petite, fast, and delicate, he added.

Clapin said they hope to inspire people to become involved in supporting the health centre.

“When you come to the PerleyRideau, you don’t come here to die – you come here to live,” he said.

“Barbara was emblematic of that message.”

The Perley-Rideau recently expanded their programs and services to introduce a Seniors Village, a new project with three key focus areas, said Clapin.

The first is assistance to seniors in their home with programs available at the Perley-Rideau Russell Road loca-

Only 1,948 lottery tickets will be sold at a cost of $100 each. The number of lottery tickets sold is significant because it commemorates the year she won the European, world, and gold Olympic titles in just a six-week period, said Clapin.

Scott-King won the Canadian championships from 1944 until 1948, claimed the North American championships from 1945 to 1948, the European championships in 1947 and 1948, and the world championships in 1947 and 1948. She was only 19 when she won the world championships in 1948, said Clapin.

To recognize her achievements, the city presented Scott with the red convertible in 1947, but after Olympic officials cautioned that the gift could pose a risk to her athletic ranking, she returned the vehicle to the city.

But the city gave her the car back during a ceremony after she won the Olympic gold, according to the website. To this day, she remains the only person to hold all championship titles, including the Olympic gold medal, all at once, said Clapin.

“Her record was never surpassed,” he said.

“We (Canada) were just coming out of a war, and we began to embrace her and held her high (because of her achievements)” The car itself was transported from Florida, where Scott-King’s widow, Tom King, continued to reside. After Scott-King passed away in September 2012, King contacted the foundation the year after to donate the roadster to the hospital, said Clapin.

“Barbara would have wanted the hospital to have it,” he said.

The draw is set to take place on her birthday: May 9.

Scott-King, who was known for wearing bright colours such as red and for her flamboyant personality, said Clapin, lovingly called the car her “Bennie”.

With a vibrant signal red base colour and brown tan leather interior, the car is still safe and reliable to drive after undergoing emissions and safety tests, he added. The vehicle’s value is $40,000.

Currently, the vehicle is at the Perley-Rideau, but will be displayed somewhere else in the city in order to

tion.

The second is specially designed apartments for independent living with assisted-living services.

The third is a health-care centre with programs designed for long-term care and specialized programs.

To purchase tickets, call 613-5267173 or visit www.perleyrideau.ca/ mercedes.

Dan Clapin, executive director of the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre Foundation, sits behind the wheel of Barbara Ann Scott-King’s vintage Mercedes Benz. The car will be raffled off in a lottery to raise funds for the health centre’s capital campaign.

Pond hockey tournament to raise funds for family Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - The Riverside South community is set to face off in a pond hockey tournament fundraiser for a girl fighting cancer.

The Riverside South Community Association will be hosting a special pond hockey fundraising tournament on Jan. 25 at the Spratt rink for children ages 7 to 12. The event will start at 8:30 a.m. and last until 4 p.m.

All funds from the event will be donated towards Stefan and Alison Wolejszo, whose daughter Sofia, 8, is battling a brain tumour.

Her parents said they can’t begin to thank the community enough for its continued support.

Sofia began getting excruciating headaches when she as five years old, but when she turned six, she started to wake up at 3 a.m., alerting her parents and unable to get back to sleep.

Her parents took her into a family clinic at that point, telling the doctor she was having trouble sleeping and dealing with headaches.

At the same time, her parents noticed she was gaining weight. “She gained six pounds in one week,� said Alison.

Their family doctor called CHEO, feeling her case needed to be checked further by specialists.

SABINE GIBBINS/METROLAND

The Riverside South community will host a pond hockey tournament with proceeds going towards the Wolejszo family. Parents Stefan and Alison, pictured above with their daughter Sofia, who is battling a rare form of brain cancer, are grateful for the enduring community support through the years.

Sofia was admitted to CHEO on Dec. 30, 2011,and an MRI was done in early January because the hospital could not admit her before New Years.

The MRI revealed that Sofia had a tumour in the centre of her brain.

Due to the nature of the diagnosis, the family was sent directly to the Hospital for

Sick Kids in Toronto for a biopsy. Alison and Sofia were airlifted to the hospital while Stefan threw as many clothes and belongings into his car as possible, unsure how long they would be away, and leaving a teenage daughter at home.

The biopsy confirmed the brain tumour, and Sofia was transferred to the oncology ward right away. Doctors told

her parents radiation was the best form of treatment.

The first cycle of treatment was completed in Toronto, but their doctor recommended the best place to continue the treatment would be at home. “When Sofia stopped asking about home, we started to worry,� said Stefan.

The tumour continued to do extra damage right up until

chemotherapy started, but the family did not realize the consequences of the damage until treatment continued.

Throughout the radiation treatment, friends and neighbours would stop by with meals for the family. Alison called them “angels in aprons�.

The chemotherapy treatment was rough on Sofia, who has battled a headache for the

past year, and the family went through another challenging time when she became very ill due to low sodium levels.

She temporarily lost her eyesight and was only able to see the vague outline of objects.

The effects of the treatment caused her great pain – for example, if she went outside, the air would cause her to scream because it was “hurting her�, said Alison.

Although she continues to battle her tumour, Sofia has a love of laughter as she displays it time and again to her parents and friends.

She goes to school when she has a good day, said Alison, but how she feels changes every 15 minutes. Stefan is on leave from his job, while Alison will continue to be a stayat-home parent. Stefan hopes to go back to work months down the road when Sofia’s condition improves..

As of last December, Sofia started to see a naturopath, and while they continue to deal with symptoms such as shortterm memory loss, low blood pressure and digestive issues, Sofia continues to make great strides. “She deserves to have quality of life,â€? said Alison. “We don’t just want her to survive, we want her to thrive ‌ We don’t get a choice, so we try to do as much as we can.â€?

Councillor pays it forward Coun. Blais donates to South Ottawa Mustangs Football Club Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - Every child deserves the opportunity to play in organized sport, says Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais.

Blais has donated $1,500 to the South Ottawa Mustangs Football Club to help offset some of the costs of financially disadvantaged players.

Blais said he has supported amateur sport since before he was a councillor.

In 2009, he was a coach with the Orléans Bengals and the Cumberland Panthers, two

local amateur football clubs.

“I made the commitment that if taxes went up more than inflation, I would donate a portion of my salary to the community,” said Blais.

Blais said a good percentage of young Ottawa athletes participate in organized sport in their respective communities, but one in three Canadian children cannot afford the fees required to belong to a sports club.

“We live in a very affluent community in Ottawa,” he said.

The positive health effects stemming from participating in organized sport are immense, he added.

“Physical activity is good for their health,” Blais said.

“It gives them something to do rather than getting into trouble.

I would rather see them being active in sports rather than get-

ting (into) trouble.”

Blais said he hopes his donation inspires the community to give back to organizations or services they feel are vital.

The South Ottawa Mustangs have been in the community for more than 50 years, and offer tackle programs for male and female athletes between the ages of seven and 19.

Peter Hunter, president of the football club, said in a news release that the organization is very appreciative of his donation to the club.

“The Mustangs greatly appreciate Coun. Blais’ generous donation, which will help pay the fees of underprivileged children to play football this season,” said Hunter.

His commitment to amateur football across the city will help children who are most needy, he said, and shows his community spirit.

council in Gloucester-South Nepean Ward?

A: With growth (in the south end) comes the challenge of managing that growth and managing the cost of that growth and recognizing that whatever gets put in, there is a cost of operating that goes with it.

News - Scott Hodge held back from running for city council in 2006, but he thinks 2014 is his time.

The former president of the Riverside South Community Association hopes his long involvement in local issues ranging from light rail to land-use plans have positioned him well to represent GloucesterSouth Nepean Ward.

As an independent management consultant, he has reviewed Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responses to the H1N1 flu outbreak, rainfall and flooding in Glen Cairn and the management of the OC Transpo strike in 2008-09.

As a volunteer, he had advocated for safe cycling routes and was involved in transitioning local ice rink maintenance responsibilities to

Q: Detail your past political and civic activism, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteering, campaigning, donations, lobbying or employment at any level of government or political party.

More recently here in Ottawa I have worked with Coun. Steve Desroches on his campaigns â&#x20AC;Ś I helped facilitate his campaign and was a lead supporter for his campaign last time.

Steve and I worked together as volunteers on the community association â&#x20AC;Ś With the creation of the Gloucester-South Nepean Ward we both had an interest in running in that first election in 2006. My kids were young at the time â&#x20AC;Ś We looked at things and I kind of stepped back and

Q: Why are you running for city

â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was way to easy!â&#x20AC;?

Q: How are you going to fundraise for your campaign?

A: I will be accepting corporate donations â&#x20AC;Ś Private individuals can participate through donations and obviously by voting in the election. Companies paying property tax â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the only avenue they have available to them to participate in the election is through their political contribution.

Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or a financial or family conflict of interest?

A: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any conflict of interest ... Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve looked into conflict of interest because of my involvement with the community association and then doing work with the city â&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very upfront and transparent.

Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in Gloucester-South Nepean Ward this term and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term?

A: Any growing city has a challenge of bringing the infrastructure in that is necessary to support growth

but also needing the development charges and the population base to warrant the investment.

Obviously one of the key challenges and key initiatives was the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge.

Residents on both sides of the river have been quite frustrated with the delays â&#x20AC;Ś but getting the plans and the funding for the bridge â&#x20AC;Ś off the ground after the move away from the north-south light rail project was obviously a huge benefit for the south end.

The bridge will have huge opportunities for growth in public transit in the south end. Linking the northsouth Transitway from South Keys through Riverside South and linking that with the southwest Transitway coming into Barrhaven will enable Riverside South and south Nepean to actually fulfill the intention of being transit-oriented.

(We need to ensure) the phasing of the development and growth of the south end is viable and sustainable and that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t create pockets of bedroom communities that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the employment lands.

Other candidates registered in Gloucester-South Nepean Ward include: Michael Falardeau, Michael Qaqish and Jason Kelly.

Students power up their education New solar panel project to generate $7,000 in revenues for the school Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A lot of power is on its way to the roof of Samuel Genest High School this year thanks to a little community support.

The French Catholic high school, the solar power company SolPowered and the Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-op announced they will be putting solar panels on the roof of the school for a total of 75 kilowatts of power connected to Ontario’s hydro grid and will bring in $7,000 in revenue for the school for 20 years.

“This is a great learning opportunity for our students,” school board trustee Denis Poirier said. “The money we make will be invested in renewable energy projects for the

school.”

The school board has leased Samuel Genest’s roof for 20 years - a standard lease agreement the co-op offers.

The solar panels will cover a large portion of the east end school’s roof - and will come with a television set up in the main lobby to show students, staff and parents exactly how energy is being generated and used.

Poirier said both he and the board were very proud of this new project which is aimed to be up and running by the spring. Most of the $500,000 price tag for the project has been raised, except for a remaining $100,000 which the co-op’s executive director Janice Ashworth said she believes will be raised within the next few weeks. In fact, Ash-

worth said nearly 50 per cent of the project’s total cost was reached in a matter of weeks after the organization first issued a preference sharing opportunity for its over 200 members late last year.

The project is the brainchild of both SolPowered and the Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-op - a profit sharing and investment corporation which builds renewable energy projects. SolPowered has a long history of placing solar panels on schools and interested in working on another school-solar project, Ashworth said SolPowered approached the organization.

This is the sixth project the Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-op is currently working on.

Ashworth said the project will

generate close to112 megawatts a year, with revenues of $75,000 annually. This is the eighth school the school board has installed solar panels and the first high school.

“We are just thrilled to be a part of this project,” Ashworth said. “One of our top mandates it was to provide service to the community.”

Co-op member Johan Hamels presented a brief explanation of the project and the power of solar energy during the event, explaining that this particular project is but one of the opportunities members can become involved in a community investment.

As part of the announcement of the new project, cooperative advocate for the Liberal Party, MP Mauril Bélanger attended and congratulated the group.

Offering full disclosure as a member himself, Bélanger said he believes in the project because of its opportunity to both educate and help increase renewable energy options in this city.

“Down the road we will come to realize that carbon products will be limited,” Bélanger said.

“We have a responsibility in this world to replace it and hopefully with something that is renewable and clean - and I believe that is what you are doing here today.”

Bélanger added that he encourages others to copy this model to help create more renewable energy.

The jokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the voters

W

inston Churchill once remarked that democracy is the worst form of the government ... except for all the others.

The superiority of democracy as a system of government rests on the bedrock of freely held elections, which allow anyone to put their name forward as a candidate, whatever their race, creed, sex or religion or point of view.

In Canada, anyone can grow up to run in a municipal, provincial or federal election. But sometimes they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Case in point, Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming municipal election. Every four years, Elections Ottawa takes in a flood of applications from those wishing to run as trustees, councillors or as mayor.

During the 2010 municipal election, 20 candidates put their names forward to run as mayor, which is wonderful, so long as all of them are legitimate candidates, not one-issue wonders, hoping to use the campaign trail as an opportunity to highlight their cause du jour. Even worse, some candidates decide to enter the race as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a joke,â&#x20AC;? having no serious expectation or even interest of winning the election.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only about a month into the nine-month election campaign trail, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already come

across one. George Marko, now running for councillor of Gloucester-Southgate, who now says he is going to take the campaign seriously, but originally registered as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;joke.â&#x20AC;?

Joke candidates are at best an amusing distraction and at worst an opportunity to muddy the waters for the electorate, who, for the most part, would prefer to focus their limited time and attention on the platforms of legitimate candidates.

It only costs $100 to $200 and a few minutes of time filling out form at the city services desk to qualify someone to run as trustee, councillor or mayor.

On the other hand, the electorate is stuck with these joke and one-issue candidates for a year, enduring their presence in dozens of debates, all-candidates meetings, radio interviews and the election coverage provided by the media.

Instead of registering as a candidate, we would suggest one-issue candidates find a more productive use for their time and their money, perhaps as donations to a charitable cause, or as a campaign contribution for a legitimate candidate who supports their cause.

We should put up a sign: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wanted: municipal representatives. Only serious candidates need apply.â&#x20AC;?

Can you ban smoking if it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t?

L

ife conspires to make itself more complicated. For example: just when society had drastically reduced the number of people who smoke, just when millions of people had gone successfully through the agony of quitting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well, along comes someone with an invention that says people can smoke again without the risks of actually smoking.

This is the electronic cigarette, getting more and more publicity every day. Last week e-cigarettes were smoked on the Golden Globes telecast. So disturbed were a number of U.S. senators that they sent out a letter blasting the organizers for glamourizing smoking. People are taking this seriously.

It is a strange thing to become a public policy issue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a battery operated thingy that draws steam through a fluid cartridge that could contain nicotine, but also could taste like chocolate or just about any other flavour.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no smoke, just steam. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretend smoking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a Wii cigarette â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet people are up in arms about it.

You can sort of see why. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated that one third of smokers have tried e-cigarettes, and eight per cent of the population generally. Here, electronic cigarette booths are cropping up in shopping centres and people

We just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how popular and whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re harmful or not.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the debates about whether to keep the smoking of e-cigarettes out of public places are so peculiar.

The city of Chicago has already moved to do this. Yet there are those who say that the city of Chicago is working against something that may help people quit smoking real cigarettes.

Because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the arguments in favour of e-cigarettes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that they will help people give up smoking more effectively than patches, nicotine gum and the rest of the stop-smoking apparatus. Meanwhile, there is no second-hand smoke to bother people in

the vicinity. So banning e-cigarettes in public places would be like banning soup, the argument goes.

The counter-argument â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and this is what must make city councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brains hurt â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is that the smoking of e-cigarettes will eventually lead to the smoking of real cigarettes.

E-cigarettes are a kind of gateway drug, in other words. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard that argument in relation to other substances and it is a persuasive one.

In the jargon, what critics are saying is that allowing e-cigarettes to be smoked in public places will â&#x20AC;&#x153;re-normalizeâ&#x20AC;? smoking.

Over the past decades, smoking has been made abnormal: the percentage of people who smoke has declined dramatically. It is about 20 per cent now in this country. It was 27 per cent 15 years ago, and a whopping 61 per cent 50 years ago.

Some of that change happened because cigarettes became very expensive. Some of it happened because people just smartened up.

But some of it happened because smoking was no longer normal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t light up in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dining room anymore; you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t light up in the movies or on an airplane; you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t light up in a shopping centre; you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t light up at work, unless you stepped

out onto the street. That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel normal either.

Will all those gains be lost because you can now smoke something that looks like a cigarette but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in fact emit smoke? Perhaps it depends on how normal it looks.

The e-cigarette is, according to one manufacturer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;an integrated structure made up of a cartridge, an atomization chamber, a smart chip controller and a built-in lithium battery.â&#x20AC;?

That seems weird.

But then, weirdness has never been an absolute deterrent. Talking to yourself on the street looked weird, until people got used to the look of cellphones.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be a city councillor when this one comes around. Are you saving the public or just banning weirdness?

Giving women a real choice

I

n case you missed it, CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Doc Zone recently profiled a number of mothers who are at their limits trying to balance work and life, in The Motherload.

Several weeks ago, I wrote a column called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The failure of feminism,â&#x20AC;? which addressed many of the concerns put forth by the women in the documentary. These included, but are not limited to the following: there is no affordable, standardized quality of childcare; if you want to make it in the business world, you have to prioritize your career at the expense of family; and the pressure on families to try and do it all is sinking many of us, leading to the destruction of the traditional, nuclear family.

On second thought, my original column was mistitled.

It should have been called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The failure of the feminist

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse ideal.â&#x20AC;? We are a generation of women who grew up thinking we could have it all, at the same time -- that our careers would be progressive and successful, and that we would just pop out as many children as we wanted, one by one, and they would all be healthy, well-adjusted kids that went to daycare. The reality is multifold. For me, after I had a baby, I found it a difficult concept to go back to the 16-hour days, plus travel, that would be required if I were to build a successful

career as a television news producer. From the moment I set eyes on my first child, I became a plague to die-hard, second-generation feminists everywhere, because my priorities shifted, dramatically.

I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work part-time in my profession and mother him the way I wanted to parttime. It was an all or nothing choice and, for the most part, I chose motherhood. I was lucky to have a choice. Now entering my late thirties with three children, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made the right choice.

Financially, things have been tight for a family claiming to live in the middle class. We are homeowners; we have no consumer debt; we go on vacations, so I guess weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing okay. But what about my career trajectory? How many other professional women, like me, have made the sacrifice for their families, to try to be the idealistic 1950s housewife, all the while wondering what their supposed to do with their nurtured brains and how to pay for all those RESPs and pension contributions?

Yes, raising children right is important. But recently, I went for drinks with some friends I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen for a decade â&#x20AC;&#x201C; friends who also have children; friends who have built a career from the ground up. They may or may not be at the top of their game.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure they face the pressures of elusive â&#x20AC;&#x153;balanceâ&#x20AC;? on a daily basis. But they have careers. They are respected in their professions and they are role models for their children.

They are also contributing to a world that extends beyond the confines of their individualistic aspirations, including that to create â&#x20AC;&#x153;the perfect child,â&#x20AC;? a modern ideology that plagues most mothers, as highlighted in CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Motherload.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a stay-at-home mother for nine years. Yes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been running a business and piecing together not-soperfect childcare arrangements and writing during naps. But at the end of the day, I have been home for nine years, with children as my primary focus. And maybe I resent it a bit. And maybe I resent all the conservatives -including myself a few years ago -- that suggest kids canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thrive in daycare or that nothing can replace mom.

I love my children and I feel blessed to have them.

But as they age -- and especially now I have a daughter -- I want them to know and understand that mom can be a powerhouse. I want them to respect my time and my

intelligence and my energy as something they can emulate.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fortunate enough to have some choice in where I go next. Many women arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The lack of options for women, particularly the working poor, keeps women and children in poverty over generations. So at the risk of coming full circle on everything I held sacred a decade ago, I think any government that does not put affordable, standardized quality childcare at the forefront of economic policy has no idea how to run an economy. We need women to fuel the labour force in order for Canada to remain competitive in the global world. And women need work to continue the momentum of feminism, even if the ideology is shifting. And by the way, we also need to keep having babies.

Any government that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize this doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t represent its constituentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best interests. Your move, governments.

New aboriginal learning space opens at Rideau High School Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - According to Rideau High School principal Geordie Walker, his school is a place where everyone can belong and anyone is welcome.

Over the years, the school has worked hard to make sure its students feel as comfortable as can be, including adding a multifaith prayer room and curriculum which includes the opportunity to learn Arabic, Spanish or construction technology.

Now, the school has a learning space that is added new meaning to the principal’s motto.

Rideau officially opened its Aboriginal Learning Space -- affectionately called “the lodge” by staff and students -- on Jan. 15 with a large celebration.

It’s an evolution of an original classroom which offered aboriginal students a space to connect with their culture that has now been expanded to achieve three main objectives: educational programming, professional development and an Aboriginal student-specific programming board-wide. It also offers a traditional space that can be used by the aboriginal community.

For educational assistant Loraine Lute, who has been running Aboriginal specific programs at the school in one form or another over the years, this new space means much more than simply four walls.

“I watched this grow - it’s so amazing that its here,” Lute said. “I am so glad its here.”

Entering the room, it

Seeking Directors for KDH Board Kemptville District Hospital (www.kdh.on.ca) is Accredited with Exemplary Standing, the highest ranking bestowed by Accreditation Canada.

Committed to building healthier communities, Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) consistently ranks among the top hospitals in Ontario for both patient and employee satisfaction. We are distinct within the provincial health system as a model for hospital-led integrated health services. We provide primary care management services, acute care hospital services, and advanced orthopaedic care, and we pride ourselves on being a good partner with other providers in the Champlain LHIN.

Loraine Lute in the new smudging room at Rideau High School on Jan. 15. The room and the adjoining room, a new Aboriginal Learning Space at the school officially opened to the community, offering students, teachers and residents to a traditional space to learn and gather. definitely stands out from a regular high school classroom. The walls are covered in cedar, carpet, art work and a dedicated smudge room with its own ventilation system.

Students, youth workers at the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health, traditional teachers, aboriginal elders and teaching staff at the school all make use of the space.

Walker said it is not only an important space for students, but also for the larger community.

“We were really trying to build a bridge between school and community and the lodge is a safe and respectful place where students and community can

come together.”

Kristin Kopra, a school board instructional coach, and Walker approached the public school board with a request to expand the aboriginal learning space at the school.

“We are committed to providing programming and supports to improve academic achievement, graduation rates, and personal well-being of our First Nation, Métis, and Inuit students,” Kopra said. “At the same time, we believe it is important to increase cultural awareness of aboriginal perspectives across the curriculum and throughout our board so that all students have authentic and accurate understandings of

the history, cultures, traditions, and current realities of First Nation, Métis, and Inuit people.”

Walker added he sees this new space as another way the high school is working at making its students as successful as can be.

“This space is not just a room, I think we created a space that is beyond just a room,” he said.

The celebration included a traditional dinner, performances and speeches from the many community members, staff and students involved in making the room a possibility.

“You don’t need a kid in this school to use this space, its available to anyone, any time,” Walker said.

KDH is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of 12 volunteer members and 5 ex-officio members.

The volunteer members have diverse backgrounds and bring a variety of skills and areas of expertise to the team. A Board member can expect to spend a minimum of 5-6 hours per month attending meetings and performing committee work.

The Board is looking for candidates for the position of Director with a commitment to community service and a willingness to learn and work in a team atmosphere. Candidates must be interested in helping KDH build healthier communities; residence in the municipality is not a requirement. Previous experience on a non-profit board, especially in a health or social-service sector, and skills in government relations and/or a strong financial background are preferred but not essential.

To apply, please send a letter of interest with CV to lleclair@kdh.on.ca before February 10, indicating “Board of Directors recruitment” in the subject line.

Vanier BIA announces its 2014 priorities New street branding, seminars, and landscaping in the works Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A village, an international avenue and a French Quarter - that’s what people will know Vanier for if the local merchants association is successful implementing a new set of priorities for 2014.

Mark Kaluski, chairman of Quartier Vanier, shared this news with residents at a Vanier Community Association’s meeting on Jan. 14.

“We want to brand each of the three main arterials in Vanier with its own look and feel,” he said.

At one time only covering the south side of Beechwood Avenue, all of Montreal Road and the north side of McArthur Avenue, the Vanier Business Improvement Area expanded its boundaries in the summer of 2012. The new boundaries now include both sides of the street on Beechwood and McArthur. With the expansion, Kaluski said, the organization wants to attract both shoppers and new businesses to the area. The goal of the

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

McArthur Avenue will soon be branded as Vanier’s international lane - to highlight all the different types of grocery and eateries on the street. The Vanier Business Improvement Area will rebrand all three arterials in its district, Beechwood Avenue, Montreal Road and McArthur to focus on its differences in the BIA. branding is to give each street its own identity.

The plan is to have a highend retail spot on Beechwood to be known as Beechwood Village, a distinct French

Quarter on Montreal Road and an International Avenue on McArthur.

“It’s to give a local flavour of each street,” Kaluski said.

This plan is part of the

BIA’s 2014 priorities, which the chairman said still needs to be approved as part of the organization’s yearly budget.

Turning Montreal Road into a French Quarter, Kaluski

said, could involve different types of restaurants, a focus on the arts and small boutiques.

“I think there is a lot we can do with Montreal Road,” he said.

Residents who live around Beechwood Avenue, Kaluski pointed, out have long been working at rebranding the area as Beechwood Village.

“I think the village - boutiques and high end retail - I think that will come naturally,” he said.

McArthur, the chairman said, already has many different international restaurants and shops, including a popular Portuguese grocery store making the choice, he explained to focus on its international identity an easy one.

Aside from the rebranding of the street, the BIA will also have three other main areas of focus. * Attract younger, new businesses to the area - Board member and local furniture store co-owner, Jamil Nassif will take the lead, with a plan to start hosting investment seminars, inviting businesses

and entrepreneurs to visit Vanier to see what the area has to offer. * Matching funding for facade improvements - Kaluski said this program will be used to help encourage landlords or businesses owners to improve store fronts and buildings in the Quartier. * Grant funding for local initiatives - Instead of spending a lump sum on one festival or event, the BIA will increase the amount of money it gives to local community events run by the community association or other local groups in the neighbourhood.

Kaluski said the board still needs to flesh out some of the details for this plan to take action, but the overall goal is to create a Quartier both businesses and residents can be proud of. The BIA he added will continue working on its landscaping and outdoor furniture investment, which includes benches, large pots and street lighting. The organization is also planning on expanding its hours and season for its security patrol.

From left, Warren, Michael, Linda and Jacob Melamed are chairing Mitzvah Day this year.

Day of good deeds lends a helping hand to local charities Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A Nepean family is pitching in to help those less fortunate.

Warren and Linda Melamed will be chairing the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s annual Mitzvah Day. The day, designed to lend a helping hand to local charities, encourages residents to participate in a series of “mitzvots” or good deeds.

This year the event will start at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre of on Feb. 9 with a breakfast at 8:30 a.m.

Warren said the family has been active as volunteers in the Jewish community for many years, but this is the first time they have chaired Mitzvah Day. “We want to teach our children the importance of giving back to the community,” Linda said.

Their sons Jacob, 16, and Michael, 13, will be organizing the extreme football challenge. Aimed at youth aged 12 to 17, the challenge will have raise money for the Pulmonary Hypertension Associa-

tion of Canada.

“Michael will get on Facebook and drum up interest to get players,” Linda said.

A new event this year will be the decoration of recycle bins and planters to be filled with plants and used to decorate Jewish facilities and agencies across the city.

Another new event will be collecting gently used hockey equipment for the Canada Israel Hockey School.

The school is located in the Canada Centre in Metulla in the very north of Israel. It’s the only ice rink in Israel.

“Because there’s not a whole lot of opportunity to learn the sport, equipment is quite hard to get a hold of,” Warren said.

It’s all about connections, Warren said, adding it’s good when people get a chance to see the good their time and donations do.

This year a soldier from the Israeli army will be on hand to talk to participants about the importance of a JFO program called Letters to lone soldiers.

“It’s an initiative where residents can write to soldiers who have no family,” Warren

said, adding the soldier talking to residents on Feb. 9 was a recipient of past letters.

Most of the mitzvots take place at the community centre, but participants also get a chance to prepare a meal at the Shepherds of Good Hope or the Kosher Food Bank.

GOOD DEEDS ORGANIZED FOR THIS YEAR INCLUDE:

• A CPR course • Locks of Love • Hillel Lodge: sing a long • Hillel Lodge: craft • Letters to lone soldiers • Decorate a tzedakah box • Extreme football challenge • Cards for sick kids • Sandwich making for the Ottawa Mission • Decorate planters and recycle bins • Preparing food for the Kosher Food Bank • Preparing meals for the Shepherds of Good Hope • Cook and bake meals for families undergoing life-altering situations • Toy Drive • Gift wrapping For a complete list of activities and registration, www. mitzvahdayottawa.com.

News - Residents who live across the street from the proposed new Iraqi ambassadorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence in Rockcliffe Park say the home would fit into the neighbourhood better if it faced away from their homes.

Speaking at a Jan. 14 planning committee meeting, Derek Taylor, a resident of Birch Street, said his street is the boundary of Rockcliffe Park and Manor Park, and facing the residence towards Manor Park is inconsistent with the pattern of official residences in the area.

There is also no precedent for an embassy or ambassadorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence on a bus route, and Birch is also a heavily travelled roadway, Taylor said. An ambassadorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence creates more traffic and puts more pressure on parking than an average home. Another Birch resident, Steve Rogers, agreed, noting there would be more security and police officers needed for events held at the home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So in your mind there must

be a difference between big Rockcliffe houses and an embassy?â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Peter Hume, chairman of the planning committee.

Taylor replied that there is a difference in the affect on the surrounding community, especially depending on which road the entrance faces onto.

DIPLOMATS

Taylor conceded that one home would have less of an impact than five homes that could be built on those lots.

Orienting the home towards Pond Street allows more trees to be retained, said Lesley Collins, a heritage planner with the city.

A tree conservation report was submitted to the city as part of the requirements for the heritage conservation district.

The staff report from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning department indicates Rockcliffe Park has traditionally been home to many official residences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The re-establishment of the official residence for the Ambassador of the Republic of Iraq through this new building will maintain this tradition,â&#x20AC;? the report reads.

The one- and two-storey home will sit in a heavily treed section of Rockcliffe that is actually composed of five lots bounded by Birch Avenue, McNabb Place and Pond Street.

The properties have remained vacant since Rockcliffe was subdivided in 1983.

The flat-roofed home will also feature a swimming-pool pavilion linked to the main home with a glass corridor.

The front entrance is to be flanked by two large windows etched with scenes of Iraqi heritage.

The architect, Julian Jacobs, confirmed that any fencing around the home will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;very minimal.â&#x20AC;?

Marguirite gets her payback for being a show off

I S

t was the year Marguirite appeared at the Northcote School all decked out in a white fur coat. he vowed it was the most expensive fur you could buy, but my brother Emerson and his best friend Cecil, after examining it closely, said it was nothing but plain rabbit.

The very thought of the number of precious little rabbits, which I loved with a passion, who had lost their fur to make that coat, was enough to turn my stomach. And certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything to make me like Marguirite any better! It was also the year we had more snow than anyone could remember. It was banked all around the school yard. And at the back, where a board fence separated the yard from the open-air rink, the Senior Fourth boys had piled the snow high, creating a slide that only went downwards about six or seven feet, but it was enough to give us lots of fun at recess, sliding down on our bottoms, or on opened-up flat cardboard boxes the boys had hauled from Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store.

That day wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any different from any other inside the one-room school house. Miss Crosby ran the place like an army general, and even though Marguirite wanted to keep her coat on, Miss Crosby wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t having any of that nonsense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll smell of cow byre,â&#x20AC;?

Marguirite said, glaring at the boys who had to milk cows before coming to school. But one look from Miss Crosby told her to get it off and hang it on a hook at the back of the room just like everyone else.

We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for recess.

The half hour would be spent sliding down the mound of snow in the school yard, and Miss Crosby had warned the Senior Fourth boys that everyone got a turn or they would suffer her wrath when recess was over.

It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for us girls to get on our snow suits, galoshes, hats and mitts, and the boys into their heavy jackets and gum rubbers, let me tell you. And just before we were heading out, Miss Crosby caught Marguirite by her sleeve and told her she had

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories had a note from her mother, and there was no sliding down the hill for her in her white fur coat.

Well, there she stood at the bottom of the little mound, looking for all the world like an orphan as the rest of us careened down the little hill, squealing with delight all the way.

A GOOD PUSH

Both Emerson and Cecil were standing at the top, and as soon as anyone fell to the mound to begin the slide, they gave a good push and away we went like a bullet, landing in the soft snow at the bottom.

I was immediately suspicious of Emerson and Cecil, after they had whispered, grinned from ear to ear, and invited Marguirite to have a slide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about your coat. You can sit on this big piece of cardboard, and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even touch the snow.â&#x20AC;?

Well, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for Marguirite to scurry up the mound, grab a hold of the upper board of the rink fence and prepare herself to sit down on the cardboard the boys had put in place.

Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when all heck broke loose. Just as she was lowering herself, Cecil grabbed the box tossing it aside, Emerson gave Marguir-

ite a mighty push, and down she went, fur coat and all, to the bottom of the mound, screaming all the way.

When she stopped, the coat was up around her neck, the fur hat was nowhere to be seen, and that day she had on blue fleeced lined bloomers like the rest of us.

She went roaring into the school like someone possessed. By the time recess was over, Miss Crosby had the coat draped over a chair by the stove, and Cecil had brought in the white fur hat and handed it to the teacher saying with a voice like sugar â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marguirite must have lost this.â&#x20AC;?

Well, that was the end of the white fur coat at the Northcote School. Joyce said it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look any the worse for wear when Marguirite came prancing into the United Church the next Sunday wearing it, and the hat. And even if Miss Crosby knew what had happened outside at the snow slide, she said nothing.

Province fights against silent killer Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Residents can now better arm themselves against the silent killer, thanks to new provincial legislation and a donation by the Insurance Bureau of Canada.

Ernie Hardeman, the MPP for Oxford, made a stop at Barrhavenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest fire station at Greenbank and Cambrian roads on Jan. 14 to talk about the Hawkins Gignac Act, which makes it mandatory for all homes in Ontario to have carbon monoxide detectors.

Hardeman said Barrhaven was his 15th stop since the bill become law in November. Each time he was accompanied by a gift from the Insurance Bureau of Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 100 carbon monoxide detectors, worth approximately $60 each.

Lisa MacLeod, MPP for NepeanCarleton, said Hardeman fought tirelessly for the bill that would â&#x20AC;&#x153;save peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives.â&#x20AC;?

The private members bill was first introduced in 2008, following the death of Laurie Hawkins (nĂŠe Gignac), her husband Richard Hawkins and their children Cassandra and Jordan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The family went to the hospital complaining about flu-like symptoms and were sent home,â&#x20AC;? Hardeman said, adding a blocked vent in the fireplace was what caused the carbon monoxide poisoning and ultimately took their lives.

JENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, centre left, joins Oxford MPP Ernie Hardeman and Mark Taylor, chair of the community and protective services, at fire station 47 on Jan. 14 for the donation of carbon monoxide detectors.

When inhaled, it inhibits the bloodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to absorb and transport oxygen throughout the body.

Eventually, vital organs including the brain are deprived of oxygen and

become damaged. Minor symptoms can include nausea, headaches and dizziness. It can also cause vomiting and unconsciousness.

Four Ottawa residents were taken

to hospital after exposure to the invisible gas and a Sandy Hill apartment complex was evacuated on Jan. 5 because of carbon monoxide Hardeman said the numbers show

that there are 12 deaths in Ontario every year due to the silent killer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound like a whole lot, but it means in the five years it has taken me to get the bill pass 60 people have died,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Before the law was passed, only homes built after 2001 were required to have a carbon monoxide detector.

Now all homes will have one.

Bay Ward Coun. and chair of the community and protective services committee, Mark Taylor, said the city will find homes for all of the donated carbon monoxide detectors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As fire services go to schools or other community events they will be informing residents about the need for detectors,â&#x20AC;? Taylor said.

Sean Tracey, the assistant deputy fire chief, said fire services is still working out how to distribute the donated detectors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will definitely be in homes before their expiry date,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Hardeman said the law helps to clear up whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsible for the installation of the device in a landlordtenant relationship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before it was put into law, no one was sure who needed to put one in, landlords often thought it was the tenants responsibility and vice versa,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Part of the bill deals with an awareness week around first responder personnel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The point is to get the message out there and prevent further tragedies,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Queensway Carleton Hospital opens employee wellness centre Steph Willems Steph.willems@metroland.com

News - Underneath the many floors of clinics, operation rooms and patient quarters at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, a new space has been created to alleviate the stress of the floors above.

On Jan. 15, hospital staff and administrators cut the ribbon on a new employee wellness centre, turning an unused space in the hospital’s lower level into a place for de-stressing and personal improvement. Open to employees, volunteers and contractors, the wellness centre was an idea three years in the making.

“Finally, the day is here,” said Rona Hamilton, vice-president of human resources at the QCH. “Having this venue…allows employees to get rid of stress and strain in their daily lives.”

Use of the Wellness Centre, which will offer treadmills and spin machines as well as programming of healthy living, will be offered to eligible patrons for a nominal fee.

Hamilton said the idea had strong backing and leadership from the hospital’s physicians group, and received monetary assistance from Coughlin and Associates, the hospital’s employee benefits administrator.

“Fitness Depot provided a major

discount on equipment that was significant for us,” said Hamilton.

Brian Bockstael, president of Coughlin and Associates, attended the opening of the wellness centre to deliver another gift – a $5,000 donation to be used as the room’s budget.

“To cover new costs,” said Bockstael, handing the cheque to Hamilton’s surprised management team.

Tom Schonberg, president and CEO of QCH, thanked Coughlin for their support.

“These folks from Coughlin have been very generous,” he said.

“Coughlin has been a strong supporter of QCH in a number of projects, including our annual (fundraising) golf tournament. This means a lot to us.”

Schonberg added that research backs up the perceived benefits of an on-site wellness centre, with studies showing improvements in health, teamwork and productivity amongst employees.

PET OF THE WEEK

Pet Adoptions Meet Kenny (A163947), a neutered, one-yearold male tricolour Australian cattle dog and pointer mix who is waiting for a new forever home. Could you be the right match for him?

Kenny is a fun-loving pup who loves to be outside and active. This dog is up for adventure!

Kenny would do best in a home with a forever family experienced with his breed and with children older than 12. He would love the chance to go to puppy school to perfect his doggy manners so he can be the best fourlegged family member possible!

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

KENNY ID# A163947

Hi, my name is Kenzie. Today is my birthday! I was born on January 23rd, 2012. I am a pure-bred Golden Retriever. My favourite things to do are to go for walks, play fetch and torment the cat. She loves to play hide and seek, but I always have to find her!

or heart murmurs that probably need nothing more than annual monitoring.

The older animals are healthy but beyond some people’s “best before” date. We think that they are great pets with years of health and love to give ahead of them. As we say about the older animals, “It takes a long time to get this sweet.” Moreover, the older animals tend to be quieter and more predictable than the bouncing balls of fur some people

choose.

With our in-house clinic, we can assure potential adopters that the animals’ known health concerns are limited to the ones we’ve identified. Our health guarantee still applies, as does the free health insurance.

I know that many people want to adopt a young and completely healthy pet. Rescuing a pet with special needs isn’t for everyone.

It is for special people with big hearts.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

Special Pets for Special People All the animals at the Ottawa Humane Society need our love and yours. But some need it a little more than others.

Close to 10 years ago, the OHS created a special needs adoptions program to help older animals and pets with manageable conditions get a second chance at finding a forever home. Conditions may include food allergies needing a special diet, thyroid conditions requiring regular, though inexpensive, medication,

Transit-oriented subdivision planned for Orléans Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - An Orléans builder is thinking big for future transit ridership.

Minto estimates up to 45 per cent of future residents in a new Orléans Town Centre subdivision to take transit as their main mode of transportation.

That’s much higher than the citywide target of 26.4 per cent transit use included in the recently updated Transportation Master Plan. The current rate of transit use is around 22 per cent.

“As transit is extended to the area, it (provides) an exciting opportunity to develop the eastern section of the city,” said Jack Stirling, Minto’s vice president.

Orléans Coun. Bob Monette said the proposal makes sense to promote use of the light-rail line the city is planning to extend there by 2023.

“We need people where they will have access to the light rail,” he said. “It will be very important for the future of our community.”

The plans include approximately 472 residential units in four- to six-storey apartment buildings at the north end of the site.

The proposed development is the first draft plan of division the city’s planning committee has been called on to approve since 2007.

CHAMPLIAN STREET

The parcel of land is located on Champlain Street north of the park and ride lot for Place D’Orléans Transitway station and Highway 174 and south of Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard.

The city’s manager of suburban development review, Felice Petti, said he’s comfortable the two new access roads will allow for good traffic flow.

Neighbouring residents were concerned that two proposed new roads through the subdivision would create traffic headaches.

Lise Picknell lives on Champlain Street and said it’s

already difficult for motorists to back into or out of driveways on that street.

“My concern (is that) by doing an entrance, there is no way we’ll be able to back up or get into our entrances,” she said. “There will be too much traffic.”

Monette applauded Minto’s willingness to heed the city’s demand to include room for employment.

The subdivision will also have almost 4,000 square metres of retail space in the southeast corner of the site in one- and two-storey buildings that would have offices on the upper floor. Other office buildings up to 12 storeys tall near the Park and Ride lot would create a total of around 63,400 square metres of office space over the next 20 years.

“The first proposal was all residential … we have come a long way since then,” Monette said.

The subdivision will be built block-by-block, Stirling said, and Minto will have to get site-plan approval from the city for each phase.

That relieved Julie Lépine, a neighbouring resident who worried the plans showed office towers too close to her home.

“The people in those office towers would be able to look right into my backyard,” she said.

Additional city approvals mean the plans will evolve and she and other residents will get a chance to look at them before offices get built.

A linear park with playgrounds would separate the residential and employment areas. The park will account for 26 per cent of the green space the developer is supposed to provide; the remaining parkland obligation will be provided as cash in lieu of the green space.
