Sports - National Capital Wrestling Club members recently returned from provincial championships, and they brought home a haul of medals.

South Ottawa athletes were a big part of that success, with Canterbury High School student Quinlan Walker winning gold in the 85-kg juvenile division, Wassim Ghadban, also from Canterbury, winning a gold in the 80-kg juvenile division, and Maly Muk from BrookďŹ eld High School a part of the silver medal winning juvenile boys team.

On the girls side, Augusta Eve from Hillcrest High School won a gold in the 46-kg juvenile division and Melbourne Eve placed ďŹ fth in the 50-kg cadet division.

The juvenile team, made up of Grade 11 and 12 girls and boys, took home a silver medal. Out of 34 teams in a ďŹ eld normally dominated by GTA teams, it was impressive, said head coach Chris Schrauwen.

In the individual categories, three athletes won gold, three athletes won silver, and another athlete won bronze. “It was pretty exciting to have lots of my friends in the ďŹ nals,â€? said Augusta Eve, who won her 46 kg juvenile division and said she had a large cheering squad for her gold medal match.

News - A city councillor and a community health centre want to put the brakes on a city land sale to protect a possible future park.

Coun. Diane Deans successfully delayed a report to

the ďŹ nance committee on Feb. 4 calling for the sale of a former public works yard at 1770 Heatherington Rd. Although the report did allocate a portion of the property to be used as a new community garden, Deans said the city needs to take a harder look at whether the site will be

needed for a park as the community develops.

It’s especially important now that the city has adopted a new land-use vision for the area. Walkley Road was redesignated as an arterial main street during a recent update of the city’s OfďŹ cial Plan. “Which means that going forward, there is a potential for six-storey buildings along Walkley,â€? Deans said. “That arterial mainstreet designation provides unique

opportunities. Having said that, it will also in all probability bring more density to an already dense neighbourhood.�

She supported that change in land use because it will help diversify the residential and commercial offerings in the Heatherington area, Deans said. But it also means the city needs to “rethink� selling the parcel of land. Deans said the city must complete a zoning density study planned for

this year to determine “what the future of this corridor will be� before deciding what to do with the Heatherington yards site. “Once it’s gone, it’s gone,�

Deans said. “I just want to make sure we don’t lose an opportunity.�

Whether or not the city eventually decides to keep the whole property for a park, 0.16 hectares of the land will be set aside for a community garden.

That’s enough for 40 to 50 plots, said Deans.

The two-day event was held in Sudbury – further than the team will travel for the upcoming national championships in Guelph, Ont. in late April.

Winning a national title would be all that much sweeter for provincial gold medal winner Wassim Ghadban, who will attend Guelph University next year and compete for their wrestling team. “(My goal is) to win it,” the Grade 12 student said. “I plan on winning nationals. I got recruited by Guelph, so it would be pretty cool to win it in Guelph.”

After winning his gold medal match in Sudbury, Schrauwen said Ghadban has a good chance at taking the national title in his 80-kg weight class. He missed nationals last year

because of an injury.

Schrauwren said all three gold medalists at provincials – Eve, Ghadban and Quinlan Walker – have a chance at taking home a national title.

Last year, Eve won the 44-kg juvenile class, one weight class lower than what she’ll compete in this year.

The team practises at St. Patrick Catholic High School in the south end, though wrestlers travel from all over the city to be part of the club, Schrauwen said.

The wrestlers train three or four times a week, and also compete for their high schools as well.

The coaching staff said they hope to see another impressive medal haul after the team gets back from Guelph.

“I think that everyone who medaled should be hunting for medals,” Schrauwen said.

Park, gardens possible

A community garden with raised beds like the ones seen here in Overbrook will be coming to a former public works yard in Heatherington by 2016. Coun. Diane Deans is asking the city to look at whether there will be a demand for a park in the rest of the site.

FILE

Continued from page 1

The site was decommissioned as a works yard in 2012 and the city is currently in the process of remediating the land to offset salt and petroleum impacts. That will likely take until 2015 or 2016 before the land is ready to be turned over into a garden, Deans said.

The garden will be an opportunity to address food security issues and self sufficiency, but more importantly, it will provide an opportunity to educate residents on healthy foods and how they are produced.

“This is a very diverse neighbourhood. It has many challenges,” Deans said. “I really think it’s the perfect place for a community garden.”

The South East Ottawa Community Health Centre is a likely partner to run the garden program in partnership with the city, Deans said.

SUPPORT

Kelli Tonner, director of community services for the community health centre, attended the finance committee meeting on Feb. 4 because she wanted to lend the centre’s support to delaying a decision on selling the Heatherington land.

If the remainder of the property was turned into a park, it could serve the communities of Albion, Heatherington and Fairlea, she said.

“There is a disproportionate amount of green space per resident in this area,” she said, referencing the Ottawa Neighbourhood Study. “It’s a very densely populated community and it has high levels of poverty … We think to promote social inclusion, social cohesion and community life that we would be better served by creating more green space and community gardens to address food security issues in our community,” she said.

The 3.2-hectare site is the only viable spot for a park and garden in the area, Tonner said. An opportunity to protect a piece of city-owned land is rare, she said.

Bowl for Kids Sake hopes to reach $50,000 goal Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa hopes to strike a change in the lives of Ottawa children this month.

The organization will hold their annual Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids’ Sake at the Walkley Bowling Centre on Feb. 25.

BBBSO is joining other Big Brother Big Sister agencies across the country in the annual Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids’ Sake initiative, sharing a common mission of raising awareness and funds locally for children and youth in need of a mentoring relationship.

Jim Boone, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa, said the group is hoping to raise $50,000, which will go towards its mentoring program.

“It’s a very simple, social way for people to support our charity, by raising pledges and bowling with friends or colleagues,” he said.

Bowling is an activity everyone can participate in and ultimately laugh at themselves, he added, while raising funds for a good cause.

“The event allows Big Brothers Big Sisters to raise awareness in the community through the bowlers and those asked to pledge money,” he said.

“We reach thousands of people and the word spreads nicely, virally online.”

Boone said the organization is looking to increase its profile in the community by increasing the number of annual fundraising events

it hosts, and exploring new relationships with other youth-service organizations.

The event on Feb. 25 is just one example of this, he said, as the charity organizes many different fundraising events throughout the year to help the children in the community.

The organization’s community and schoolbased programs work to identify children who are at risk or are without a positive role model in their lives.

It strives to provide stable, long-term mentoring relationships pairing a “big” brother with a “little” brother, or a “big” sister with a “little” sister..

The effect on the “little” is ever-lasting, said Boone.

“People should participate because this is such a simple way for people to help more than 1,000 kids who benefit from having responsible adult mentors in their lives,” he said.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa has been creating Big Brother friendships since 1970 and Big Sister friendships since 1973.

The organization has grown to include a variety of different programs and currently serves over 1,000 boys and girls on an annual basis.

In 2012, more than 400 adults volunteered in programs, totaling a combined 39,640 of volunteer hours.

Bowling spots for the event begin at 6 p.m. and then at 8 p.m.

Anyone interested in participating or donating can email events@bbbso.ca or go to www. bbbso.ca.

Join us for the first open house for the South Keys Community Design Plan (CDP). This is your opportunity to help shape the vision, plans and policies for the future of the Study Area.

At the first open house you will have the chance to review and comment on the existing conditions, opportunities, emerging CDP ideas and other related issues within the study area. City staff will be available to provide information about the process and outcomes of the CDP. The Study Area: The study area for the CDP extends approximately 3.4 km along Bank Street, from the Canadian National railway tracks (located north of Greenboro Transit Station) to Queensdale Avenue.

The study area includes: properties abutting Bank Street, properties that are located between Bank Street and Sawmill Creek, and several light industrial properties along Hunt Club Road and Sieveright Avenue.

Street raises $10,000 to find cure for blood cancer Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

SUBMITTED

Lesia Maruschak cuts into a cake while celebrating the achievements of residents of Confederation Private who have donated $10,000 towards finding a cure for blood cancer. Maruschak, who lives on the street and is battling leukemia, said she was touched by her neighbours who have supported her charitable organization and its mission.

News - Residents of Confederation Private, located in the city’s River ward, have raised $10,000 from their own pockets to help one of their neighbours fight a battle against leukemia.

Lesia Maruschak, founder of charitable organization Cure: Blood Cancer, hosted a small gathering at her house to thank her neighbours for their contributions on Feb. 4, which was also World Cancer Day. “This is a great example of how one can see a community grow and aid a cause at the same time,” she said.

“Of course, the fundraising will continue, and residents will continue to see a growing awareness of what we’re doing.”

“It’s the small things that matter.”

Her husband, Konstantin Huytan, is president of the street’s condominium corporation, and took the role of canvassing for his wife’s

foundation a few years ago.

The result was an accumulation of donations just from the residents alone towards finding a cure for blood cancer, which Maruschak continues to battle.

“We live in a very tightknit neighbourhood,” he said.

“Some people are very close to each other.”

The bond between neighbours is what makes the street its own world, he said, and a place where the term “neighbours helping neighbours” is brought to new heights.

“There is a very strong sense of the community looking after each other,” he said.

He found his neighbours did not hesitate when giving money.

“They were always very sympathetic, very generous,” he said.

“When you know someone who is affected by something, there is a certain motivation to give. We can look down our street knowing we know everyone.”

o celebrate its 10th anniversary, Facebook created a memory book for users – a montage of photos, status updates and shares to mark our time on the site.

While the algorithm wasn’t without flaw – some users complained theirs didn’t work properly – it was a classic example of a brand doing something right.

Facebook is, after all, the ultimate brand. Facebook communicates with us, gathers our personal information, sends us things we may like based on our over-sharing. And then it rewards us for longevity and loyalty by giving us a free photo montage, signed by the company’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg – which we then, of course, “share” with all our friends and family. Right on, Facebook!

According to Euromonitor International, 2013 was the year of “the selfie.”

In the middle of last year, people shared 200 million photos in a single day through Snapchat, an application that allows you to send photos that delete within 10 seconds of viewing.

While a lot of people detest selfies, presuming the self-taken photo of oneself to be the ultimate vanity exercise, the consumers editor of Euromonitor noted a different trend – the increased willingness of people to tell stories visually.

In the era of Instagram, Pinterest and Snapchat, words are unnecessary. You know this. Your friends know this. Facebook knows this. A lot of your favourite brands know this.

But are you using the selfie – and other visuals – to tell the stories you should to

protect your own brand? Our Facebook , LinkedIn and other social media profiles are the essence of our online beings. How are you branding yourself?

My Facebook montage was quite telling. It told me I’m not branding myself very well. Sure it’s a flawed algorithm, but the posts and images Facebook used are accessible to anyone who trolls my profile. There were photos of my cousin’s brother-in-law’s kids in my top 10 (random), no pictures of my sons and zero shots of me doing anything particularly interesting.

All said, my montage branded me as someone who is – like many female Facebook users in my age group – obsessed with bragging about my baby daughter (and other people’s small children). But it wasn’t exciting, visually stimulating or even remotely telling about my personality, activities and interests.

I started to wonder what a montage on LinkedIn would look like. How would my posts – or lack of posts – be reflected to those in my professional circle? I have a feeling it, too, would be unrepresentative of me.

It seems like a lot of responsibility to think about self-branding. After all, we

have all that snow to shovel and then there’s, well, getting up in the morning and preparing ourselves for work.

But the more we live in a society that acts before we think, the more important it becomes to take time to reflect upon what we’re putting out to the world.

Visual storytelling can be great. I was a television producer for a number of years and I know that a picture really is worth a thousand words (or at least 30 words that can be chopped off a script).

But in the same way we must careful that our words – written and spoken – represent who we really are, we should also be tentative about the “visual stories” we’re sharing on social media.

It’s a great message to send out to your kids, as well: Yes, our online personalities and relationships are different from the ones we have in reality and that’s okay, as long as we remember that the consequences of our instant sharing are not only incredibly public to begin with, but also publicly archived.

That accumulated archive is creating our personal brand.

I like social media.

I think it’s a useful tool and it’s allowed me to stay in contact or reconnect with many people I probably would have otherwise lost touch with years ago.

But if Facebook’s birthday gift has taught me anything, it’s that – on second thought – the montage probably wasn’t really worth sharing at all.

No easy driveway solution

T

he cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee recently approved a plan allowing suburban homeowners to widen their driveways.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say councilors collectively held their noses and approved a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Band-Aid solution,â&#x20AC;? that is a step in the right direction toward a permanent solution, but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t address some of the reasons for the shortage of driveway space.

First and foremost, there tends to be more multicar families in the suburbs compared to their urban counterparts. Some councillors suggest one of the underlying causes of suburbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking woes is the development industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trend of building smaller homes on smaller lots with more vehicles per household.

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said the city needs to look at revising its minimum standards for driveway length and garage size, and if that means developers lose part of their market advantage, well, so be it.

The city is reconsidering its policy on driveway sizes, as part of a broader review of how suburban housing developments are planned, under the Building Better Suburbs plan. Policy must meet the existing needs of residents, and those vary depending on which part of the city youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in. Case in point:

there tends to be more homes with multi-car families in the suburbs compared to those in urban areas, and therefore they need bigger driveways.

Of course, council must also recognize the dangers of allowing an influx of asphalt. Widening driveways could have unintended consequences, such as limiting the space available for on-street parking and aesthetically pleasing and environmentally-necessary features such as trees. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the possibility of resurrecting an old bugbear that has consistently haunted Ottawa during the past decade: stormwater runoff. By reducing the amount of permeable ground available for rainwater drainage, the city would need to radically alter its stormwater drainage model. No one wants to travel down that road.

But the planning committee addressed this issue by asking staff to prepare an amendment to the private approach bylaws, which would limit curb cuts.

In other words, suburban homeowners could increase the hard-surface driveway space in front of their homes, but would not be allowed to expand access to the street.

A one-size-fits-all policy rarely works across Ottawa. Any solution to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking problems must ultimately rely on neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood decisions.

The grassroots innocence of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game

P

utting aside the commercial aspects, it was pretty hard not to be impressed by the 17th Annual Bill Kitchen Timbits Jamboree out at the Canadian Tire Centre.

From seven oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning until about six at night, 96 kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hockey teams from all over Ottawa and the Valley took to the big ice surface at the arena. That would be more than 1,000 five- and six-year-olds, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impressed.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think their parents and grandparents werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t either.

The parents and grandparents, by the way, brought donations for the Ottawa Food Bank.

When they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the ice, the kids were in a big room downstairs playing on various things, including the inevitable bouncy castle.

When an adult of a certain age sees a bouncy castle, he suddenly realizes there was a large gap in his childhood.

Spartacat was signing autographs. There was a juggler, a clown and the loud noise of a lot of excited kids.

But the main excitement was on the ice, where there was hardly any noise at all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a refreshing change from when the Senators play and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear yourself think for the amplified music, especially during stoppages

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town in play.

Here there were no stoppages in play to speak of and the only noise was of sticks and skates, conversations among parents and grandparents and the occasional cheer when the puck found its way into the net.

That would happened a fair amount, as the games were played across the ice surface, three at a time, so a player was never far from the opposite goal and frequently in good position to score.

But when they scored, it mattered only to them (and their parents, siblings and grandparents), since one of the rules of the jamboree is that no score is kept. That might sound wimpy, but it works pretty well for the youngsters at this level. They all compete hard anyway, particularly on this day, because who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

be inspired sitting on the same benches as Chris Phillips and Chris Neil? Who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to score a goal on the same ice as Jason Spezza and Erik Karlsson score theirs? And no one goes home broken-hearted.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have lots of chances in their later years to go home broken-hearted. Why rush it?

Because of the antics of a few fanatics, hockey parents get a bad rap. But when kids play at the earliest ages of the organized game, the parents couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be nicer, at least as far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen. Very rarely do you hear parents barking instructions to their son or daughter.

Almost never do you hear anyone yelling at the referees.

True, some of that comes later, but there have been many advances in coaching techniques over the decades, and along with these have come changes in attitude. You hope that some of these have rubbed off on the parents.

Bill Kitchen, who died two years ago, played for the Ottawa 67â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and briefly in the NHL. He ran a Tim Hortons franchise, coached minor hockey in Ottawa, organized a hockey camp and was active in the Timbits jamboree, which now bears his name. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice legacy and you could see on the ice, where volunteer coaches skated with their

teams and acted as referees, that there are dozens and dozens of men and women carrying on that tradition.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what helps make hockey so deeply rooted in our culture despite all the competition from computers, video games and bouncy castles. Both boys and girls were active on the ice and so were kids from different cultures.

Although hockey may not be as multicultural as some other areas of Canadian life, it is heading in that direction.

We all read about the problems in hockey its professional levels. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to see the innocence of the game when beginners play it.

Good days, bad days part of dealing with condition Continued from page 6

Huytan said his family has lived in Confederation Private for at least 25 years, drawn initially to the proximity to their workplaces and community amenities. To this day, they remain grateful for the support of their neighbours, and thanked them last week for their efforts. At the event, Maruschak expressed her gratitude towards her friends and reiterated to them that their money was going towards finding a cure.

INCURABLE CANCER

Since being diagnosed in 2010 with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Maruschak has her good days and bad days. Some days she is incredibly fatigued, and with the winter season, she doesn’t take chances to travel very far as her

immune system is weak.

The cancer has taught her to appreciate life’s little blessings, such as waking up to a new day, and to teach others to believe in the same, she said.

It’s this mantra which has been the catalyst for inspiring others to donate to the organization, helping them raise $60,000 for research purposes since its inception this March.

When Maruschak was first diagnosed, she kept the news private, but after her first year of fundraising she began gaining confidence and her fundraising drive commenced.

On average over the past year, 100,000 Canadians lived with or were in remission from blood cancer, said Maruschak, and of those numbers, 6,900 will die from the disease.

Riverview Park celebrating time, commitment to community Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

issues began to resurface, said president Karin Keyes Endemann.

Since then, monthly meetings have been held regularly to identify and address community issues, advocate on behalf of the community residents, strengthen community spirit and foster a high quality of life in the neighbourhood.

GOALS

The Riverview Park Community Association is one of the original community associations in south Ottawa.

The 62-year-old organization, then known as the Riverview Park Property Owner’s Association, held its first meeting on Nov. 17, 1952.

At the time, the meetings were held in the basement of residents’ homes before they were moved into Riverview Alternative School, located on Knox Crescent.

At that time, nearly 90 residents participated in community meetings.

Over the next few decades, the association was not as active as in the beginning, but it was rejuvenated in August of 1994 after several community

The mission of the association is to promote and protect the interests of the community, while ensuring their voices are heard collectively on key development issues.

“Our community association is active, vibrant and deeply committed to ensuring the residents of Riverview Park are able to enjoy a wonderful quality of life,” said Keyes Endemann.

DEVELOPMENT ISSUES

Currently, the association is focussing on two community issues: the intensification of area development and the increasing amount of traffic on their streets due to develop-

Riverview Park Community Association president Karin Keyes Endemann said there are many different community issues the organization is keeping a close eye on, such as developments at the Train Yards retail centre. ment, said Keyes Endemann.

“Over the years, the RCPA has monitored, advocated for

and against and resolved quite a number of issues of importance to our community,” said

Keyes Endemann.

Other issues include the ongoing retail developments at the Train Yards, the PerleyRideau Veterans’ Health Centre, developments on Russell Road and Industrial Avenue, and the expansion of the Alta Vista Transportation Corridor and hospital link arterial roadway. “(The developments) will all intensify noise and air pollution and will increase the number of cars speeding and cutting through our currently quiet streets,” she said.

“In addition, the association is working to make our community a safer and more pleasant place to live by maintaining and improving our parks and green spaces and advocating for sidewalks, safer and more pedestrian and bicycle friendly streets and pathways – in our neighbourhood and throughout the city.”

MEETINGS

The board of directors meets the second Wednesday of each month at 6:45 p.m. at the Maplewood Retirement Home to discuss and address

any events or issues which are affecting their community.

Anyone is welcome to attend.

EVENTS

Each year, the organizations hosts a winter carnival in February, a pop-up toboggan party later the same month, an annual garage sale in June, a scarecrow contest in October and festive candlelight carolling in December.

“Every second year we hold our very popular Riverview Park Social, with dinner, entertainment and dancing,” said Keyes Endemann.

“In addition to all of this, on behalf of our residents our volunteers set up and maintain two very well used outdoor rinks in our community (at Balena and Dale parks) and provide support at our councillor’s annual Corn Roast in September.

Every year, the community also pitches in during the Cleaning the Capital days in both spring and fall.

This is one the main reasons why the 30-year-old Chapman Mills resident has decided to run for city councillor in the 2014 municipal election for Gloucester-South Nepean. Incumbent Steve Desroches will be stepping down from his post this October.

Fulsom, a videogame producer and writer, moved to Ottawa from Prescott in 2007 so he could attend university.

He received an undergraduate degree in philosophy from Carleton University, and since then has worked for the federal government.

Last year, Fulsom had the chance to become a partner in an independent videogame company, Quick Fix Inc., launched by a long-time friend. Together, he said, they have successfully developed several cellphone games and are now working on a larger production for the PC. Fulsom serves as a producer and writer for the company.

He and wife Li Wang have

been married for nine years and have one son, who was born in 2013.

sense will be my guide to action, not lobbyists.

Likewise I will not accept a dollar from unions, development companies or large corporations.

To do so would create a conflict of interest.

Q: Why are you running for city council?

A: On the local level I see that there is room for us to build a better future, to show a way forward that gets beyond the prison of party politics and has the potential to really involve people in the shaping of their community.

I think doing so could be a small step that leads to big change.

My late grandfather, George Nelms, was mayor of Ottawa, from 1956-60, so that family history certainly has an effect on my decision to become involved in municipal politics.

Q: How will you fundraise for your campaign?

A: My financing will be coming from my own pocket, and from individual people who support prudent fiscal management, reigning in the city’s sunshine list, community building, environmental protection, ending service fee increases, and a diversified revenue source for the city that can move the city away from its reliance on property taxes.

Q: Detail your past political and civic experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party.

Also, do you have any experience as a lobbyist or for a lobbying non-profit organization?

A: I do not have experience as a lobbyist, nor do I think it would be valuable experi-

KEVIN FULSOM ence to have. As far as I am concerned, professional lobbyists are a kind of cancer on democracy that give a louder voice to those able to pay professional mouthpieces to

harass elected officials with a list of demands.

My only concern is representing the people of the ward and the good of the city.

Residents, ethics and good

Q: What do you think was the biggest issue in the ward last term and how was it handled? What will be the biggest issue/s next term?

A: The largest issue for this ward is the significant lag between housing construction and real community and infrastructure development.

The reality is that if we had prudent planning in place then

the Armstrong Bridge would have been built years ago, Prince of Wales and Greenbank would be four lanes the entire way and light-rail would already be stopping in Barrhaven.

Our community ought to have far more small businesses, but we need to create affordable places for people to set up shop. Lease prices are a huge barrier to businesses starting out.

We also need to imbue our community with beauty and culture.

Small business is a large part of that, but we also need far more community space.

My vision on this front are mid-sized community facilities that fuse libraries, gyms, recreation and entertainment.

A place that can bring everyone together in a safe, positive environment.

We could be watching the Olympics there as a community and cheering for our local athletes.

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

New booklet helps disabled tackle abuse Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Daniel Boyer has been able to deal with tough situations thrown his way because of his knowledge of resources available to him.

Not everyone in the same boat as the east-Ottawa man living with cerebral palsy is as fortunate to be aware of the help available to them. That means there could be more prolonged abuse.

“The disabled community is vulnerable, and people can abuse us more,” he said.

“They’re more attracted to vulnerable communities.”

Boyer is the co-chair of the Connecting on Disability and Abuse group, which put together a brochure about disability abuse awareness with Crime Prevention Ottawa; it’s the first document of its kind in the city.

Boyer has run several workshops and set up booths at events alongside his wife, Michelle Boyer, a CODA ambassador.

Recently, they faced their own situation, where elevator repairs in their building would leave Boyer unable to

leave his home for several weeks. After fighting tooth and nail, they contacted resources they were aware of to help find a resolution to the situation, and place the couple in an accessible unit in another building until the elevator could be fixed.

“I was abused in a way, but because I knew my rights, it’s why I’m here today,” he said. “But other people with disabilities, they don’t know to literally fight for their rights.”

The new booklet that the group has produced features different fictional stories about abuse, based on true situations.

They range from a grandchild taking financial advantage of a grandparent to a home support worker threatening a disabled client.

It was based on a booklet produced in British Columbia, who gave permission for the model to be used and modified for Ontario laws and Ottawa resources.

“We’re tapping an unmet need,” said Nancy Worsfold, Crime Prevention Ottawa’s executive director. “We’ve already had orders for 1,500

booklets.”

It gives information on what a disabled person should do if they are being abused in any way, and resources they or their families can access for help.

“It’s a parent that can say, ‘You know what? Stay in your crappy diaper,’” said Michelle Boyer. “But a lot of them think if they say something, they will lose the help.”

Disabled people are also more susceptible to romance fraud, both Boyers said.

A person who is more isolated due to their disability is more likely to go online to make friends or communicate or potential romantic partners.

But fraudsters will often target the vulnerable, and ask for money to be transferred for some sort of emergency, or to cover travel costs to come see them. The fraudster is often a totally different perBRIER DODGE/METROLAND son, who may not even live in North America, let alone the Daniel Boyer with the new booklet produced by Connecting on Disability and Abuse with help from Crime Prevention Ottawa.

Snow dumped deficit on Ottawa in 2013 Large number of snowy days leaves city $21.5 million over budget Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - City staff are contemplating changes to the street-parking ban after Ottawa spent double what was budgeted for snow removal in 2013.

A storm that dumped 41 centimetres of snow onto the capital over two days just before Christmas buried the city in a $21.5-million snow removal deficit.

Now, the winter maintenance chief says changes to the way the city enforces no parking on streets during storms might be needed to cap that cost.

That one $11.5-million storm capped off a year of unusually frequent snowstorms.

The city usually expects to have crews out on about 95 snowy days a year, but there were 129 “snow event days” in 2013, which resulted in the city spending $140.6 million

Beautiful Monuments Made Loca lly w No at Reduced P rice

when it only budgeted $119.1 million.

Most of that will be offset by surpluses in other areas and by dipping into the $10.9million winter maintenance reserve fund.

Besides a hefty, 272 cm of snowfall (the annual average is 236 cm), a number of other factors are driving up the need for – and cost of – snow removal, said Kevin Wylie, manager of roads, traffic operations and maintenance.

Councillors’ offices and the city’s services line, 311, receive many calls requesting increased snow plowing, meaning the city actually ends up exceeding its maintenance standards, Wylie said.

Building intensification is a good thing, Wylie said, but it puts pressure on the city’s snow clearing operations.

“It does cause us a maintenance cost headache,” Wylie said. “That’s the biggest trend we’re seeing.”

- 41.4 cm snow - $7.19 million: snow removal - $2.74 million: applying salt, solution and grit to roads - $0.87 million: plowing sidewalks - $0.78 million: plowing roads - Total: $11.79 million

- 600 winter maintenance staff - 185 salt spreading trucks - 141 grader/loader plows - 99 backhoes - 30 4x4 trucks - 124 sidewalk plows

Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers, city treasurer Marian Simulik and Wylie agreed there is a need to look at how denser land use affects operational costs like snow clearing.

PARKING BAN CHANGES

Of all the issues affecting the city’s ability to clear snow from streets, there is one that is most problematic, Wylie said.

“It’s the overnight parking ban,” he said. “It’s not working well. It’s not co-ordinated well with the (snow removal) operations.”

The overnight ban is automatically put in place every time Environment Canada forecasts more than seven centimeters of snow. But Wylie’s team often isn’t out plowing every residential street until a day or two later.

Bylaw officers issued 10,848 tickets during on-street parking bans in 2013. Wylie said it doesn’t make sense for bylaw officers to ticket motorists for parking on the street during a ban if the snowplows don’t need to get through.

Changes could be made to the timing and location of the bans or other tactics, Wylie said. The goal would be to tie

the ban more closely to winter operations with a goal of ensuring efficient snow clearing.

“It depends on the timing of the storm,” Wylie said. “It’s those sorts of things we want to see if we can adjust to make it work better for the operations, but also work better for residents.

“I just think there is a better way of approaching it,” he said.

Wylie plans to meet with bylaw and legal services after this winter season is over to come up with a new plan for next year.

The changes likely won’t affect downtown residents who hold on-street parking permits, Wylie said.

“I don’t foresee taking action in those areas,” he said.

“That’s a tough one. In some of the areas of the city, they have parking permits because they have nowhere else to park – they have no parking garages and no driveways.

The cost of taking care of snow on parking permitted streets ends up being higher because the city needs to do full snow removals more often, Wylie said.

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko had another suggestion: the city could negotiate with parking-garage owners to provide free overnight parking when there is a street-parking ban in place. Wylie said it could be considered.

ACORN member Dion Rochan and tax program co-ordinator Angela Plant work on a return at the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices on McArthur Avenue. ACORN will offer its free tax clinic and low-cost tax clinic starting Feb. 20.

ACORN launches free tax clinic Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - ACORN is looking to break a record this tax season.

The clinic run by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; typically known as ACORN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will offer free tax services again this year for low- and moderate-income individuals and recent immigrants in Ottawa starting on Feb. 20.

Last year, the volunteers helped more than 800 low-income people ďŹ le their 2012 returns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; making the most successful effort since the free clinics started back in 2009.

This year, the organization announced it would like to ďŹ le 1,000 returns in 2014.

Getting ready for the inďŹ&#x201A;ux of calls to the ACORN ofďŹ ce at its new location in Heartwood House on McArthur Road, members announced the launch of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clinics on Feb. 6.

ACORN Ottawa board member and fellow tax-clinic user Dion Rochan is grateful for the service and wanted everyone who needs help with their tax returns to know ACORN is here to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great because I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to have it done by some company,â&#x20AC;? Rochan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also become complicated to get your

taxes done these days. This way I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the stress and saves a lot of money.â&#x20AC;?

The clinics will help with ďŹ ling 2013 tax returns as well as any back taxes clients might need to have ďŹ led.

In addition to the free service, last year ACORN offered individuals who were above the income cut off set by the Canadian Revenue Service for the free service an affordable option for a tax return, ranging from $40 to $80. The money collected from theses returns helps supplement some of the free clinicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs.

other had searched the summer kitchen and the wood shed. She couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find it anywhere. And it was Sunday night, and she was getting ready for the Monday morning wash.

The big copper tub was sitting on the back of the Findlay Oval full of water at the ready. Into this tub Mother would put all the white clothes that had to be washed. They would soak all night, with the hope that she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to use as much javel water on them in the morning. Heaven forbid that the whites wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be

Mother liked to have everything set when she was ready to tackle what would turn out to be an all-day job.

That meant the copper tub was full of whites on the stove, the rest of the laundry was sorted into heaps on the

kitchen floor, and the homemade soap cut into slivers and sitting in a pie plate.

And of course, the long wood â&#x20AC;&#x153;pinchersâ&#x20AC;? used to take the boiled whites out of the tub, and put them into the square laundry tub, ready for scrubbing on the washboard, would be sitting on a chair too. They looked exactly like

the tweezers Aunt Lizzie used to pull out stray eyebrows when she came from Regina to visit, only these were about two feet long, made of wood held together at one end with a bolt, and strong enough that Mother could easily grab a good portion of white clothes out of the tub without touching the hot water.

Well, that day the pinchers were nowhere to be found.

It was just before supper, and Mother sent me back out to the wood shed and the summer kitchen to have another look. I even looked behind the sauerkraut barrel -- there was no sign of them anywhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, they have to be somewhere,â&#x20AC;? Mother said, putting the finishing touches on supper.

Father and the three brothers came in from the barns and the milking, and washed up at the bench near the back door. We all took our places at the old pine table, and after Grace was said by Father, and before anyone could dig in to the mounds of food, Mother commented that she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the wood tongs, which was the term she used.

Father called them pinchers, but he knew what she meant, and that was all that was

important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Must be out in the summer kitchen,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mother assured him a thorough search had been made of both the summer kitchen and the wood shed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gone. Just plain gone,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know where they are,â&#x20AC;?

Earl said, giving a sidelong glance towards Emerson.

Emerson started to squirm and asked Everett to pass the potatoes.

Earl continued: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out on the chopping block behind the silo.â&#x20AC;?

Everything stopped dead, just like a Hopalong Cassidy movie reel that had broken down once in the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien theatre in Renfrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ouch,â&#x20AC;? Earl yelled, and we all knew Emerson had given him a good kick under the table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever are the laundry tongs doing out on the chopping block,â&#x20AC;? Mother asked, her voice rising to a high pitch.

The chopping block was where the chickens met their doom and it was also where the fish the boys caught icefishing in the Bonnechere River were cleaned. Everett was usually the one who performed the dastardly deed, because even though he was

rambunctious and full of spunk, Emerson could never bring himself to working the chopping block.

The same went for cleaning fish. In fact, he loved to fish, summer or winter, but Everett or Earl always had to bait the line for him. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want a thing to do with a live fish from the time the line went in the water, until it was served on a dinner plate. And when the fish sat in a pail of water beside the chopping block ready to be cleaned, Emerson wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even touch one to take it out of the pail and hand it to Everett. That is, until he figured Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laundry tongs would do just fine. He could grab a fish, slap it on the block, and Everett could do the rest. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take all day to figure out why the tongs were out at the chopping block.

There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much talk around the supper table that Sunday night. Emerson got up from the table, put on his heavy coat, hat and boots, and headed for the silo.

When he brought the tongs back into the kitchen, Mother already had a granite pail of water boiling on the front of the stove -- she swore the clothes would smell of fish for at least a month of washings.

The tongs were put into the pail, with a good dose of vinegar, and there they sat, boiling away until bedtime.

No one ever knew if Emerson ever got over his aversion to touching uncooked fish, but we all knew he never went near the tongs again.

Mother made sure of that.

Every Sunday night after that, and even before filling the tub with water or gathering up the whites, she got the tongs out of the summer kitchen, slapped them on a chair by the stove, and her look dared anyone to lay a finger on them.

BRIDGING COMMUNITIES Ward 22 Update

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean

Ottawa International Airport Authority I have been informed that the Ottawa International Airport Authority will be undertaking some construction activities this spring to rehabilitate one of their runways, which will result in a temporary change of air traffic. The construction will temporarily stop north/south commercial traffic which will mean a temporary reprieve of air traffic for communities north and south of the airport, but will temporarily increase the air traffic for communities east and west of the airport.

The project involves grading and repaving the runway, replacement of runway lighting and electrical systems, and other upgrades.

United way makes plea for donations Campaign still needs to raise money to help 19,000 lives Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - There are six weeks left in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Way Ottawa campaign and the organization is making a plea to donors to help out the lives of 19,000 fellow residents.

The charitable group launched its 2013-14 Community Campaign at the end of September last year with a different kind of goal from previous years, asking Ottawa donors to help raise $21 million, specifically targeted at improving the lives of a set number of individuals.

According to the United Way, if the goal of the campaign is reached, 76,000 lives will be changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave anybody behind and United Way will continue to be there with

our partners -- whether they are people facing a crisis in their lives, isolated seniors, or children and youth who benefit from homework help or social activities after school. All of them deserve our support,â&#x20AC;? said Barbara Crook, United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign co-chairwoman.

Currently, the campaign has raised $16 million -- or enough money to help out 56,000 lives.

Cook and fellow co-chairman Goldy Hyder attended a United Way-funded program at the Youville Centre on Feb. 4 in hopes of creating enthusiasm for the last-minute campaign push.

Cook said the remaining $5 million could enable something like allowing 2,600 homework club students to study or providing help for young mothers who attend the Youville Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Me, My Baby, Our World class.

A philanthropist and director of the Danbe Foundation, Cook is no stranger to helping out fundraisers, or donating to a cause. In the past, Cook said her foundation has made large contributions to specific causes, but with United Way, Cook said she has seen what

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Kayla Alan and her son Anthony participate in the Youville Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Me, My Baby, Our World program on Feb. 4. exactly $2 can do for a child in a homework club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What has been so fascinating, working on this campaign, is seeing the difference that one small donation can make,â&#x20AC;?

Cook said.

The money raised is tied to what the United Way defined as measurable goals -- money solely for the United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organizations which requested funding through designated priorities.

During the visit to the Me, My Baby, Our World program Cook and Hyder met with a

group of young mothers who were singing and dancing with their little ones.

In the past three years, United Way has allocated $50,853 for its baby program and its youth mental health program.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Program facilitator, Clarissa Arthur said she knows first hand the difference donations can make. Arthur knew the situation well before taking over the role of child development coordinator at the Youville Centre.

As a graduate from the centre in 1996, Arthur said without the organization, she would not be where she is today.

She arrived at the centre with her three-and-a-half-month-old son in the fall of 1995. She graduated from the program in the spring of 1996, and since has continued with her education, taking child and youth programming in college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw the job posting and just had to come back,â&#x20AC;? Arthur said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a part of Youville is life-changing for every girl who comes here and now I get to meet with them, show them pictures of my son and daughter and let them know I was once where they were.â&#x20AC;?

Arthur spends her time between meeting new students and facilitating programs like Me, My Baby, Our World program.

Singing along with the other mothers and children, the program helps mothers learn how to parent in a collaborative setting Arthur said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a place where moms can talk to other moms about what is going on with their baby, get advice and work on things together,â&#x20AC;?

Mother of two young sons,

Julia Huard said the Me, My Baby, Our World program has helped her connect with her youngest son, Landon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He loves it,â&#x20AC;? Huard said.

A Vanier resident, Huard gets both her sons on the bus every morning to come to the Youville Centre.

Huard said the centre has been an amazing opportunity for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just help you out with school, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much more than that,â&#x20AC;? Huard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learn how to play with my kids, how to feed them - this program brings moms together.â&#x20AC;?

Arthur said that is the whole point of the program -- to make moms realize they are not alone and there is a support system in the Youville Centre.

The centre reported that a total of 43 lives were changed thanks to United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment in Youville Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parenting program and between July 1, 2012 and March 31, 2015, Youville Centre will receive a total of $65,900 for this program thanks to United Way donorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; support.

The community campaign will wrap up on March 31, 2014.

Apple sweet bread good for breakfast or snack time Lifestyle - Coconut bread or sweet bread, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often called in the islands, is a heavy quick bread that can be served at breakfast or with a cup of tea in the afternoon.

The addition of apple makes it moister and replaces the candied fruit. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Baking time: one hour. Makes one loaf (12 slices).

INGREDIENTS

PREPARATION

In a medium bowl, combine the ďŹ&#x201A;our, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg, and set the mixture aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, all but 5 ml (1 tsp) of the sugar, oil and vanilla. Add the ďŹ&#x201A;our mixture, and mix well -- the resulting mixture will be dry. Stir in the grated apple, coconut and raisins.

Spread the mixture into

greased and ďŹ&#x201A;oured 1.5-litre (eight-by-four inch) metal loaf pan. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar.

Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for about one hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean.

Let it cool in a pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Ending sexual abuse begins with men

Face of Fostering

Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

We were married and close to retirement when we started fostering.

Throughout the years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown as a couple, as individuals and as foster parents. Providing foster care to children and youth is a very rewarding experience. We are given opportunities to learn from others, to learn of their strengths and values and to offer support when possible.

We see families change and we see their relationships develop. Since our debut 17 years ago, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to learn the real purpose of our role as foster parents; to help families stay together.

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Glen Canning, Rehtaeh Parsons father, speaks at an event held at city hall on Feb. 4. Rehteah died of suicide last April in Nova Scotia after photos of an alleged gang rape were posted on social media sites. Her father is now an advocate for fighting violence against women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was disbelieved to death. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a system that

needs to stop, that needs to end,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really do hope men

start owning this, and men start being part of the solution.â&#x20AC;?

News - Glen Canning has gone through the worst thing a father can experience.

He lost his 17-year-old daughter Rehtaeh, not even a year ago.

She died of suicide after being the target of online bullying, as photos circulated of an alleged gang rape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our daughter was ridiculed to death,â&#x20AC;? he told a crowd at the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community discussion at city hall on Feb. 4.

The Nova Scotian father was the keynote speaker.

While the boys involved were never charged with raping his daughter, two are facing charges for distributing child pornography.

Canning showed a message Rehtaehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother received from one of the boys, where he tried to say she gave consent despite having to be helped to the window of the bedroom to vomit because she was so intoxicated.

But instead of talking about how women can avoid sexual assaults, Parsons spoke about how we can prevent men from raping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Men need to stand up, they need to recognize, they need to stop it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our system is really busted right now, and men are the reason. But men can be the solution.â&#x20AC;?

He shared a message the father of one of the boys who allegedly raped his daughter posted on a Facebook page supporting the boys, that said the boy was just like his dad.

That was one of the discussion questions breakout groups later talked about: how can parents raise their boys to prevent them from being violent towards women.

He also spoke about the bystander mentality when it comes to sexual assault, especially when it involves alcohol.

In many cases where a woman is assaulted, police go back to interview witnesses who saw the intoxicated woman taken from the party or bar by a complete stranger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bystander mentality when it comes to violence against women,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t someone say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where are you going? What are you doing?â&#x20AC;?

In his daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, she was blamed as the victim. Cruel comments were made on social media, many too vulgar to put in print.

And Canning said the culture that allows those type of photos to be circulated and laughed at needs to end.

German embassy hosts graffiti jam River Ward City Councillor Conseillère, quartier Rivière

Event celebrates 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Winterlude is about to get a splash or two of paint this coming weekend.

The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany has invited two popular German graffiti artists to Ottawa to help mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall with a commemorative mural at the embassy, located at 1 Waverly St., on Feb. 15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a symbolic and engaging demonstration of what the fall of the Berlin Wall meant to so many people,â&#x20AC;? said Ambassador Werner Wnendt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For years, the wall acted as

a means of oppression. Painting on the wall and expressing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own individuality is a way to honour what its destruction meant for so many.â&#x20AC;?

A barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic in 1961, separating West Berlin from East Germany and East Berlin, creating two states. After a popular uprising, the wall fell in November 1989.

The two artists, Arunski and Poet, both grew up in West Berlin during the Cold War. Arunski is renowned for painting his first graffiti piece on the Berlin Wall in 1986. The artist met Poet in 1988 and have collaborated on many projects since.

According to the embassy,

these two artists are the most respected graffiti writers from Berlin.

In partnership with Canada, the embassy has teamed up with House of Paint for the event.

Joining Arunski and Poet will be two of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top graffiti artists, Zek and Striker.

The event is not all about graffiti either -- there will be a feast of German sausage and pizza, German hip-hop music, wine and cider at the celebrations.

Beyond this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, the embassy will said it will be hosting a number of activities throughout the year to help grow the awareness of the how important and symbolic the fall

of the wall was.

Calling 2014 the year of remembrance, aside from the embassy marking the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, it has been 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War, and 75 years since the start of the Second World War. An ice sculpture, called United Buddy Bears, is also on display at Confederation Park.

The bears are to be considered an international symbol of collaboration among nations.

The Feb. 15 jam starts at noon and runs all day until 8 p.m.

For more information please visit the embassy website, canada.diplo.de/Vertretung/kanada/ en/Startseite.html.

CHIEF (A161438)

Chief is a six-year-old boy who loves attention and affection. For Valentine’s Day, he just wants a forever home. Would you be Chief’s valentine?

Chief is a curious and active kitty who likes to walk around to investigate different things, though he’d be just as comfortable napping the day away in a sunny patch on your living room floor. Chief would do well in a home with cats, as he lives with six others at the OHS. For more information on Chief and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Hi! My name is Roofus and I am a Domestic Shorthair Grey Tabby. I love playing with my catnip mouse and tormenting my sister, Miny. Other things I love doing are chewing cat grass and sleeping in between my person’s legs which I love even more than my food bowl! I hope that spring comes soon because I miss lying on the warmed-up chair outside.

Nominate cycling advocates for city award Staff

News - Do you know a cycling star in Ottawa?

The city is now accepting nominations for the annual Bruce Timmermans Cycling Award.

The annual award is handed out to an individual and an organization that proactively and publicly promotes the benefits and virtues of cycling as a principal mode of transportation.

Criteria include: leading by example, advocating for cycling and supportive facilities, teaching cycling skills and encouraging others to start cycling.

The extent and nature of that involvement in community volunteer activities, the extent of cycling they are involved with (com-

muting, utilitarian and recreational) as well as their interpersonal skills and the manner in which cycling is being encouraged will also be considered.

Last year, the organizational award went to RightBike, a community bike-sharing service. The individual award went to Spencer Sloan, an Industry Canada employee who publishes a widely circulated cycling newsletter for his workplace and helped set up on-site bicycle maintenance facilities and bike clinics to encourage bicycle commuting.

Printable and electronic forms are available at ottawa.ca. Nominations for both individuals and organizations must be submitted before the Feb. 28 deadline.

News - The Vanier Winter Carnival is returning with a new feature: sleigh rides around the historic park.

Christine Head, the Vanier Community Association parks and recreation committee chairwoman, said the carnival will have all the fun activities from previous years as well as the addition of the sleigh rides, thanks in part to the French Catholic School Board and the Ottawa Carleton District School Board.

“The school boards contacted us and said they would sponsor the sleigh rides,” she said.

Having the sponsors, Head said, was welcome news.

The committee received a grant from the city for $2,100 to help run the carnival, but the extra donations will make a huge difference when it comes to creating a fun winter carnival for the community.

The carnival begins at 10 a.m. at Richelieu Park on Feb. 15, with festivities taking place both indoors and outside.

Apart from the addition of sleigh rides, the event offers a ton of activities including skating, pick-up hockey, turkey curling, crafts and snow sculpture building.

For the weather and sports weary, there will be board games and a movie playing in the community centre and representatives from the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health will be offering Aboriginal-

Councillor and former township mayor stepping down after 31 years Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - For the first time in 31 years, no “Re-elect Doug Thompson” signs will spring up in Osgoode Ward.

The longtime city councillor and former township mayor said he planned to announce publically on Feb. 10 that he will not run in the Oct. 27 election.

Despite intense pressure from residents to keep vying for his job, Thompson said he felt it was time to move on.

“I believe it’s time to reinvent myself,” he said.

The opportunity to spend more time with his wife, Mary Lynne, his six children and seven grandchildren weighed heavily on his mind, Thompson said, but the satisfaction of a job well done was what allowed the 67-year-old to decide to step away from his council seat.

“I certainly will miss it,” he said. “I’m very happy with what I’ve accomplished.

“At the end of the day, it’s just one of those decisions that you have to make,” Thompson said.

Stepping down “opens the floodgates” for new candidates to campaign in the ward.

There are already four people registered, with at least another four or five waiting in the wings that Thompson knows of. But the councillor doesn’t

have any plans to come out in public support of any of them, as much as they might want that, he said.

“All the candidates would like to have my support,” he said. “I think they should make their own pathway to election.”

Thompson’s stronghold over the ward has never wavered – he was acclaimed as councillor in 2003 when no one opposed him and he received 85 per cent of the vote in 2006 and 67 per cent of the vote in the last election in 2010.

He considered retiring from politics before the last election in 2010 but changed his mind.

The only time his grip on Osgoode slipped was in 1985, when he recalls around 15 votes stood between him and elected office.

“It taught me a lesson: work hard,” Thompson said. “And I’ve done that ever since.”

Thompson, an elementary school teacher at the time, was first elected to Osgoode township council on Dec. 1, 1980.

He served on that council for 14 years before becoming mayor for three years.

31 YEARS IN POLITICS

It’s difficult to quantify the scope and number of issues that cross a municipal politician’s desk over the course of more than 30 years.

Within five weeks on the job as Osgoode township mayor, the 1998 ice storm hit.

“It was just bizarre … nobody had ever experienced something like that,” he said.

Aside from crises like that, the job consumes more than 60 hours a week, Thompson said.

“From the outside, it might look easy,” he said. “You need someone who has all the qualities of Superman, I think. I attend 400 meetings and events a year. It’s very time consuming.”

Serving the residents of Osgoode and being a representative of the nation’s capital has been an honour, Thompson said.

During his 31 years in office he oversaw the development of a number of local institutions, from the Greely library to the soccer complex on Mitch Owens Road and a number of housing developments, including the Osgoode Care Centre long-term care facility. Several community associations and groups sprung up under his leadership, including the Osgoode Youth Association (OYA).

From campaigning against amalgamation in 1998 and 1999 to sitting as the rural south’s representative on the very city council he fought joining, See THOMPSON, page 37

Thompson says he has thrown his efforts into serving rural residents.

He championed the creation a city rural affairs office and also a rural and agricultural issues committee, of which he currently sits as chairman. He was key in preventing OC Transpo from expanding service into his ward. He lists establishing a network of multi-use pathways, helping establish toll-free long-distance phone calls into the city from the rural area and getting school crossing

guards in Metcalfe – one of the first locations in a rural area – among his achievements.

“These are all small things but in the communities, those are big items,” he said.

But the biggest-ticket issue in his three decades in office was easily the city’s decision to only support a new casino location at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

“The casino I think is very critical for the rural area,” he said. “(There are) probably about 900 people whose livelihood depends on that.”

Hardworking families deserve fairness and businesses deserve the certainty to plan for success.

That’s your government is taking a balanced approach and responsibly increasing our province’s minimum wage.

Increasing the minimum wage will help improve the standard of living for hardworking people across the province, while ensuring that businesses have the predictability necessary to plan for the future.

Our government is helping people in their everyday lives while at the same time supporting a dynamic and innovative business environment throughout our province.

Minimum wage will increase from $10.25 to $11 per hour on June 1, 2014. This new rate reflects the rise in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) since the last minimum wage increase in 2010 and is part of the provincial government’s commitment to fairness.

Our government will also introduce legislation that would tie future minimum wage increases to the CPI. This will ensure the minimum wage keeps up with the cost of living, and that increases are predictable for businesses and families. Under the proposed legislation, increases would be announced by April 1 and come into effect on Oct. 1.

He originally moved to New York City from the Midwest to pursue an acting career, studying with Lee Strasberg and Herbert Berghoff.
