All aboard Three-year-old Zac Surette of Ottawa South was quite happy playing with a Brio train set during the Toy & Game Expo, which took place at the Ernst & Young Centre Nov. 2 and 3. The expo featured a myriad of different toy exhibitors, from board games to Lego blocks, as well as activities and shows for children of all ages. It was the first expo of its kind in Canada.

News - It’s time to bring government advertising rules into to the 21st century, says Ottawa South MP David McGuinty. McGuinty has taken aim at partisan government spending on advertising, saying too many tax dollars are being

A Day

of

misused. In response to this, McGuinty tabled a private member’s bill, titled the Elimination of Partisan Government Advertising Act on Oct. 24. The bill seeks to amend the Auditor General Act by appointing an independent advertising commission to oversee government spending on advertis-

ing, he said. McGuinty said the commissioner will provide accountability for all Canadians. “Too much money is being spent on partisan government advertising when really, that kind of money could be spent on programs such as health care, the things that people really do need,” he said. Good examples of this are government-legislated television ads and billboards seen around the community.

“There has to be a line somewhere,” he said. His bill applies to all forms of advertising, including print, radio, television, the Internet, and billboards. McGuinty said he introduced the bill after hearing from constituents who were concerned about the Conservative governments’ spending. The bill will not affect provinciallyrun advertisements. See SPENDING, page 2

R emembr a nce

Every November 11th, Canadians pause in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who served their country during wartime and in the cause of peace. More than 1,500,000 Canadians served overseas—in the First World War (1914-18), the Second World War (1939-45), and the Korean War (1950-53). More than 100,000 died. We honour their sacrifice and the sacrifices of our soldiers today, who serve so we may live in peace. R0012400205-1107

Spending can’t be justified says McGuinty Continued from page 1

According to an advertising report and recent cabinet approvals, from 2006 to 2012 the federal government spent $548.6 million dollars on advertising, said McGuinty. It is expected that for the fiscal years ending 2013 and 2014, another $121 million is projected to be spent. The total is almost $670 million since taking office, he said. “That’s an extraordinary amount of money.” “Sixty millions dollars could fund any one of the following: 30 MRI machines, 1,000 registered nurses’ salaries for one year, 20,000 hip, knee and cataract surgeries, or 8,500 insulin pumps for our kids coping with Type 1 diabetes.”

Strike vote for Ottawa Student Transportation Authority Bargaining unit for workers who arrange busing votes unanimously Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News - Parents in Ottawa might be getting nervous after hearing word of a vote that could affect how their kids get to school. On Oct. 31, it was announced that members of the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority-Educational Support Professionals bargaining unit of the Secondary School Teacher’s Federation had voted unanimously in favour of a strike mandate.

The workers covered by the bargaining unit are responsible for arranging and co-ordinating transportation for the English public and Catholic school boards in Ottawa, as well as for visually and hearing impaired children under the Provincial Schools Authority. Together, approximately 60,000 students could be affected by the vote. Bargaining unit president Nancy Akehurst stated in a media release that the workers have been operating without a

contract since August of 2012. “Our goal is to negotiate a fair agreement for our members who have been patiently waiting for a deal with our employer for over a year,” said Akehurst. OSSTF president Paul Elliott touted the unanimous vote as a “sign of solidarity” that demonstrates support of the collective bargaining process. The Ottawa public board did not return a request for comment by this newspaper’s print deadline.

Craft show offers different options for gifts this year

If you had cystic fibrosis, you’d have no choice.

News - This year’s Glebe craft fair aims to rival bigger shows with the addition of gourmet food for patrons to enjoy. The long-running annual Glebe Craft and Artisan Fair will take place at the Glebe Community Centre from Nov. 15 to 17. The event, organized as a fundraiser for the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group, will offer many different types of crafts, clothing, and toys. It will also, for the ďŹ rst time this year, feature a food court. “There is going to be a real variety of gourmet food this year,â€? said Mary Tsai Davis, the executive director of the activities group. According to the organization, the food court aims to rival other food courts like the one at Toronto’s One of a Kind Christmas Show, which has a â€œďŹ‚avoursâ€? section, ďŹ lled with everything from gingerbread cookies to decadent chocolates to spices and sauces. The Glebe’s version will feature chocolate, cupcakes and squares, to name a few. Because of the size of the craft

show -- more than 50 vendors will ďŹ ll up the main hall at the centre -- the organization decided this year to open a separate space for the food court in the multi-purpose room. The aim is for guests to have the opportunity to check out all the food and have a place to sit and sample as well.

Please help us.

1-800-378-CCFF • www.cysticfibrosis.ca

IMPROVEMENTS

The proceeds from the event go towards three funding components for the activities group: capital projects like improvements to the centre, community initiatives and ďŹ nancial assistance, which helps subsidize recreation costs for low-income families. “It’s a wonderful event that really helps us out with our community development fund,â€? Tsai Davis said. The show will welcome a number of returning vendors, Tsai Davis said, with a few new artisans too. The show opens its doors at 6 p.m. on Nov. 15, with hours on Saturday, Nov. 16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 17 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Last week, I had the pleasure of being joined by my colleague, the Minister of Energy, the Honourable Bob Chiarelli to announce that the province marked the end of burning coal at the Lambton Generating Station. This leaves Nanticoke Generating Station as the last operating coal-ďŹ red facility in Southern Ontario, which is slated to stop burning coal at the end of 2013. Ontario has committed to end coal generation by the end of 2014. Closing these plants one year ahead of schedule will save ratepayers $95 million from reduced maintenance and project costs. A coal-free energy mix will also lead to a signiďŹ cant reduction in harmful emissions, cleaner air and a healthier environment. Eliminating coal-ďŹ red generation and protecting the environment while providing clean, reliable and affordable power is part of our government’s plan to invest in people, build strong infrastructure and support a dynamic and innovative business climate across Ontario.

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

Record number of hospitals championing organ donation Community - Fifty hospitals are working with Trillium Gift of Life Network to promote and create a positive culture of organ and tissue donation in Ontario, an increase of nearly 30 per cent from a year ago.

By the end of 2013 there will be 55 hospitals and by next year, all 60 hospitals in Ontario with capacity to facilitate organ donation, will notify the network when a patient has died or is at high risk for imminent death to ensure

that all potential opportunities for donation are identified. Hospitals are also helping to promote organ and tissue donor registration in their communities and actively encouraging their staff to register consent for organ and tis-

sue donation through registration drives. Since April 2012, 24 hospitals have run registration drives with the most successful to date being the tri-hospital drive done by University Health Network, Hospital for Sick Children and St. Michael’s Hospital, which achieved almost 3,600 visits to Ontario’s online donor registry. New data available at www. BeADonor.ca shows that as of Sept. 30, 2.78 million On-

tarians have registered their consent to save lives through organ and tissue donation, an increase of 57,806 registrations since June 30. “Support for organ and tissue donation continues to grow in every part of our province,� says Ronnie Gavsie, TGLN president and CEO. “Our goal is to ensure that at end of life, all opportunities for organ and tissue donation are identified and pursued with family consent to save and enhance as many lives as possible.�

• As of Sept. 30, there were 1,483 people in Ontario waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. • One donor can save up to eight lives and enhance the lives of up to 75 more through the gift of tissue. Ontario has made it simple to register consent for organ and tissue donation: online at www.BeADonor.ca, in person at a ServiceOntario centre or by mail, download a copy of the consent form at www. giftoflife.on.ca.

Hydro Ottawa joins Councillor Qadri to celebrate St. Daniel School mural In September, students at St. Daniel School gave a makeover to the fence surrounding Hydro Ottawa’s transformer station near Woodroffe Avenue and Baseline Road. This new mural, painted on the cement wall which backs on to the school yard, was ofďŹ cially unveiled at a heart-warming ceremony held at the school on October 25th. The learning mural was created by artist Nicole BĂŠlanger and depicts children enjoying sports and recreation throughout the four seasons. Funding for the project was provided by the City of Ottawa/Crime Prevention Ottawa Paint It Up! youth engagement mural program. Councillor Shad Qadri, Chair of the Board for Crime Prevention Ottawa, joined Hydro Ottawa staff to celebrate the mural with students, parents and teachers. The painting at St. Daniel School is part of a larger initiative to introduce outdoor classrooms, trees for shade and other natural spaces to facilitate learning, playing and socializing for students.. The process of planning, designing and creating the mural with students, teachers, parents and the community at large was a great kick-off to the school’s greening project and will build interest, excitement and pride in the school yard.

Skip the politics To the editor,

Re: Brynna Leslie’s “Throne speech short on substance,” Oct. 24. This delightful columnist should stay away from politico-economic commentary, which obviously isn’t her forte. She sneers at the throne speech for addressing consumer issues like cable bundling and cellphone fees. These matter to a lot of people. My wife and I wanted to order Treehouse for our 10year-old son and had to buy a lot of stations we would never watch to get it. Roaming charges are likely to be an issue now my wife and son are Canadian citizens and will be able to travel in the U.S. without a visa. Bizarrely, Leslie completely ignores the trade agreement between Canada and the European Union, although it is much our most important trade agreement since the FTA with the United States. When she writes about job creation under the Conservative government she becomes delusional: “… most of the jobs created in Canada over the last five years have been low-paying, part-time positions.” In fact, of the 653,000 jobs created between September 2008 and September 2013 (raw estimates), 506,000 were full-time.

Drivers need to follow rules at railway crossings To the editor,

Re: “Safety changes coming to Transitway crossing,” Oct. 24. That terrible and tragic collision between a Via Train and an OC Transpo bus in Ottawa on Sept. 18 that left six bus passengers dead and 30 injured, many seriously, has raised many questions about the safety of railway crossings not only in Ottawa but across Canada. Let’s put the facts into perspective. Before this country, including this city, embarks on a very costly, panic/politically driven national program, estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars, aimed at improving safety at rail crossings in Canada, lets’s consider the following. As reported by the Canada Safety Council, there were 169 rail/highway crossing crashes in Canada in 2011: 25 people were killed and 21 were seriously

injured. It is suspected that some of those killed are suicides. A motorist is 40 times more likely to die in a crash involving a train than in a collision involving another vehicle. Most collisions occur within 40 kilometres of the motorist’s home. The principle cause of level crossing collisions is the failure of the motorist to stop or exercise due care and caution, or to observe and comply with existing laws and regulations. Roughly, 50 per cent of all rail/highway crossing crashes occur at crossings equipped with flashing lights and bell, or flashing lights, bell or gate. If there is a problem at that crossing in Barrhaven, it will not be fixed solely by the “quick fix” measures announced by the city. One would think these measures – removing and trimming vegetation around that crossing, installing warning lights – would have already been in place. Why

they were not begs scrutiny! Most of the collisions at railway crossings in this country can be reduced by driver behavior combined with enforcement and common sense, and at very modest costs. In the grand scheme of things, should this approach not be considered? If not, why not? Emile Therien public health and safety advocate Ottawa

Just do it, for art’s sake

I

t’s time the city put its full weight behind the Arts Court expansion after patching together funding to get the long-running project off the ground. The expansion will now cost the city $34 million. The federal government was asked to pitch in $9 million to go along with $6 million contributed by the province – money originally allocated for a performing arts centre on Elgin Street before those plans fell through – but declined to help out. The city has now approved an extra $8.2 million to make up for the federal share. Mayor Jim Watson is enthusiastic about the project, saying it’s a rare opportunity to build this type of infrastructure in the downtown core. “There was a strong desire certainly on my part to see that we invest in a significant facility for arts and culture in the downtown core,� he said. This project is a boon to the arts community, and will provide space to nurture and promote creative endeavours. It has the potential to not just help the Ottawa arts scene, but to also attract artists from outside the capital to what should be a wonderful new facility. But the city needs to take one further step to help the Arts Court reach its full potential: foot the whole

bill. As it stands, the current Arts Court tenants will be on the hook for $3.2 million of the expansion cost. While they may be happy to raise the money in exchange for the improved facilities, couldn’t that money be put to better use by those tenants? That sum – $3.2 million – is no small change in the artistic world. It could go a long way toward making art, rather than paying for equipment and fixtures for the expanded facility. Why then isn’t the city just coming up with another $3.2 million? There was money allocated in the budget for a great many things, a budget featuring the lowest property tax increase of the current council term at 1.9 per cent. Adding an extra few million wouldn’t have changed that amount in any noticeable way. The argument could be made that if the tenants have a stake in paying for the expansion, it will make for a stronger partnership. The tenants already have a significant stake in the project: they were involved at every step of the planning process so far. There’s no reason to believe they would all of a sudden take such a small gesture by the city for granted. In light of multi-billion dollar transit visions, significant stadium renewals and extensive road renovations, surely the city can come up with a few extra million to help a worthwhile arts project.

Taking a small risk to right the wrongs of the world

ame 3 ended on a play that had never been seen before in a baseball World Series: a St. Louis Cardinals runner thrown at home plate was called safe because it was ruled that he had been obstructed by a Boston Red Sox player. A terrible ruckus ensued but the call stood. The run the umpires allowed to count was the winning run in the game. Even people who were delighted that Boston lost were a bit chagrined at the call. There had been no intent to obstruct (although that turned out to be irrelevant). More important, it just seemed like an unfortunate way for a game that had been exciting and well-played to end – with an umpire’s interpretation of an obscure rule. No one was really happy about it – although it could safely be said that the Red Sox’ unhappiness exceeded that of the Cardinals. But since these were professional players with professional umpires and a professional rule book, there was no alternative, no going back. Which is too bad, because if the game had been played by little kids, the outcome would have been much more satisfactory. When little kids play games, as memory serves, a controversial play such as that one would spark an intense argument, but there

The play would be repeated, probably with an outcome that no one could argue about and that would be that. That methodology survives to this day and is not reserved for children. Adult players of games such as tennis will sometimes use it, when there is no agreement on whether a ball was in or out. “Play it again,� someone will suggest, and they will.

Take the Senate. Please. Suppose Nigel Wright could have said “take it over� after writing Mike Duffy the cheque. That would have been better for him and the prime minister, if not for Mike Duffy. Going back even earlier, the prime minister might have wanted to say “take it over� after making the original appointment of Duffy to the Senate. And going back even further, the Fathers of Confederation might, in retrospect, have wanted to say “take it over� after creating the Senate in the first place. A lot of work has to be done on this concept, no matter how useful it might seem on the surface. How many take-it-overs should any one person be allowed? Under what conditions might “take-it-over� be accepted or rejected? And, inevitably, is “take it over� a federal or provincial responsibility? Further, there is a need for a cultural shift, as people learn to shed their winner-take-all mentality and accept the notion that a defeated or hideously embarrassed person deserves another chance. But once we got over the initial awkwardness, we might be pleasantly surprised at the number of improved results in our day-today living and the life of our governmental

institutions. Now, you have to be careful with this. As readers of Stephen King will know, taking it over does not always produce the best result. In his novel 11/22/63, King’s protagonist journeys back in time with the intention of preventing the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Along the way he prevents other small mishaps from happening, and this version of taking it over causes all sorts of unintended calamities. Still, it might be worth the risk if it could prevent the Senate scandal, not to mention the Senate itself, as well as the obstruction call at third base.

Accessibility renovations – Not just for old people

M

ore than two-thirds of Canadian homeowners are expected to renovate this year, according to a poll released by Scotiabank last month. For most, home renovations will account for the largest lump sum of money they’ll ever spend at once. But how much forethought are people putting into remodelling? “People can be pretty cavalier about adding a bathroom, kitchen or addition,” says Moneca Kaiser, the owner of Moneca Kaiser Design Build in Ottawa. “They’re thinking, I want a new kitchen now, but they don’t take time to think about how their family will interact in and with that space for the next 10, 20 or 50 years.” Good design, says Kaiser, is not static. Real design is “flexible, multi-faceted and adaptable.” “People often think of blueprints as design,” says Kaiser. “But a blueprint is just one of the tools in design. You’re going to have a blueprint for what you need right now, and another blueprint for what you may

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse need if your in-laws move in temporarily or if you break your leg.” True design, she says, is fluid and dynamic. Design is living and takes into account the lifecycle and environment of the people living in a space or interacting with an object – and it considers both the present and the future of the space. Kaiser is writing a book called “Curing Dysfunctional House Syndrome.” In it, she outlines her own design program developed over the past two-and-a-half decades as a designer and carpenter, which includes an extensive investigation of the people for which she’s designing. “I start every project by asking people what their values are,” says Kaiser. “I take them through a four-page

exercise to get to the heart of what’s really important to them. If I value family life, that’s going to require a certain kind of kitchen. If, on the other hand, I value efficiency, that’s going to require an entirely different space.” Kaiser delves further into her clients’ lives, getting to know everything from their state of health and their age, the people around them, who they spend time with, their favourite recipes, even how much money they make. “If I’m doing a kitchen and my client says they have a goal to eat healthier, I’m going to figure out what I can do in that kitchen to make it easier for them to make more salads,” Kaiser explains. And as Canada faces the challenge of an aging popu-

lation, design becomes evermore important, particularly in home renovations. Hard built-in components of standard heights that are mass-produced by manufacturers are not going to suffice. On the other hand, says Kaiser, things like cabinets on castors and counters with different elevations can accommodate the now – say a couple who are different heights – and the future if one day someone needs space and height required to prepare food in a wheelchair, for example. “And if people are thoughtful in design, they may integrate a ledge, just at the right height beside the toilet, that can be used as a grab bar if there’s ever a need,” says Kaiser. “It doesn’t scream convalescence because, as part of the design, it’s almost invisible, yet it’s completely efficient and effective.” As Ottawa makes efforts toward a city that’s more senior-friendly, regulators and developers also need to be thinking about flex-housing and design on a larger scale.

The modern response to urban density seems to be stacked townhomes, where people live on multiple levels. This type of design has replaced the popular horizontal duplex of the last century, where families lived on a single floor, but shared property. But as Kaiser notes, it’s a lot more difficult to think about installing ramps, integrating a main floor powder

room with shower floor, or cordoning off a dining room to be used for convalescence if people are living on multiple levels. “People are not taking enough time with design,” says Kaiser. “We pay lip service to it, but design isn’t pretty pictures and blueprints. It requires very deep engagement with the people using it and it has to be flexible.”

Ontario’s Power Struggle Part 2: The need to grow the economy amid growing electricity rates Steph Willems Steph.willems@metroland.com

News – Five years after the onset of the economic downturn, Ontario’s economy is struggling to retain the status – and job numbers - it once boasted as Canada’s economic powerhouse. Since 2008, Ontario’s economy has been battered, with an unemployment rate of 7.5 per cent in the third quarter of 2013 and annual gross domestic product increases of 1.8 and 1.4 per cent in 2011 and 2012 respectively, according to Statistics Canada. By comparison, Alberta’s GDP rose 5.4 per cent in 2011 and 3.9 per cent in 2012, while Saskatchewan’as rose 5.5 and 2.2 per cent in the corresponding two years. With an economic growth rate lower than the national average and an unemployment rate higher than the national average – coupled with a still-increasing debt of $260 billion – Ontario’s economic situation is far from rosy. Turning this situation around will require a combi-

nents, the addition of heavily subsidized renewable energy such as wind and solar power, backed up by new gas generators to provide grid stability have all played a role in driving hydro rates up for not just consumers, but businesses as well. Ontario Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli has stated the province made some strategic alterations on the energy file and related contracts to mitigate those increases, adding the province was “starting to turn the corner” on rising rates. Chiarelli would not, however, discuss when rates might stop their upward climb, preferring to wait until the province’s long-term energy plan is released later this year. Keeping existing jobs, especially the manufacturing jobs that long served as the backbone of Ontario’s economy, has been a challenge, with companies drawn to lower labour costs in the United States. Taxation and energy rates are the other big considerations for industry. In Canada, Quebec and Manitoba boast significantly lower energy rates than Ontario, with rate decreases actually reported in Quebec in 2011 and 2012 due to surplus power. Ontario also has periodic power surpluses, which the Independent Electrical System Operator - the crown corporation that runs Ontario’s power grid - sometimes sells to neighbouring jurisdictions below cost, a situation that has a negative impact on ratepayers. Like the manufacturing industry, the northern Ontario mining industry has tradition-

ally played a large role in the province’s economic fortunes, putting places like Sudbury and its iconic big nickel on the map. Earlier in October, a North Bay newspaper published an article on the increase of heavy truck traffic on Highway 11 north of the city. The trucks are carrying mine concentrates from the Sudbury area to Noranda, Que., for refining. Mining is an industry prone to boom and bust cycles that create uncertainty for individuals and whole regions. But, it can be very profitable over a sustained period, and the province – tasked with wrestling down a deficit first and a debt later - would like to see mining thrive. The much-talked about Ring of Fire deposit in the James Bay Lowlands of northern Ontario has the potential for mass extraction of a number of valuable metals, the most lucrative being chromite -- a key ingredient in stainless steel. Currently the project is still in its infancy, with a lack of either rail or road access to the remote area and two key land holders locked in a legal battle over the one access route. If extracted, the chromite contained within the Ring of Fire would be transported to a smelter in Sudbury for processing under a plan mapped out by the Liberal government. The largest land-holder in the Ring of Fire – U.S.-based Cliffs Natural Resources – is now threatening to pull the plug on the project if it can’t get the all-weather road it wants, which would threaten the Sudbury smelter and the economic benefit such an operation would bring. Energy comes into the equation when one factors in the huge amount of electricity needed to run a smelter. With Ontario’s rates already higher than Quebec’s and rising, the worry is that some of the economic benefit from the Ring of Fire could bypass Ontario for refining in another jurisdiction, such as the province next door. One bill-reducing energy incentive listed by Chiarelli is the Northern Industrial Rate Program, which provides a rebate approximately equal to a 25 per cent reduction in bills for the largest consumers, such as smelters. Depending on how much Ontario’s hydro rates rise, that could soon be not enough to entice business of that size to set up shop in Ontario.

Questions also remain in the northern business community about the power needed to serve the Ring of Fire area, and whether there will be enough when and if the area comes alive. The Thunder Bay Generating Station, which traditionally provided excess power to the region, is currently idled after its conversion from coal to natural gas was stopped, with no official word yet on its eventual fate. Chiarelli stated that despite the status of the Thunder Bay plant, “we’ve given (the region) complete assurance in principle that they will have power when they need it.” A number of solutions being worked on in northwestern Ontario, said Chiarelli, including new transmission lines from Wawa, new generation planned for the Dryden area, and the restarting of the converted Atikokan Generating Station, located about 200 kilometres west of Thunder Bay. Mining and manufacturing are but one part of the economic story in Ontario. Serving smaller areas and moving smaller amounts of product, small and mediumsized businesses are numerous and employ many. Businesses that use less than 250,000 kilowatt hours of power a year are billed for their energy consumption no different than residents. Ottawa businessman Jim Sourges finds himself in a difficult situation, as his stockand-trade is the very appliances and fixtures that consume that pricey electricity. As owner of The Electrical & Plumbing Store’s two Ottawa locations, Sourges knows all too well the impact of rising hydro rates and has little recourse in stemming the rising tide of energy bills. He’s replaced all of the bulbs in his showrooms with compact fluorescent lightbulbs and has darkened the chandelier showcase as much as possible, but a storefront business that has to be open during peak hours can’t do much to mitigate costs before staff or the customers become affected. “Hydro rates have continued to climb over time, especially with time-of-use billing,” said Sourges, whose father founded the store’s original Ogilvie Road location 32 years ago. See POWER, page 13

Power situation in Ontario still uncertain Continued from page 12

“With us, given that we can’t control time-of-use or our hours of operation we can’t do all of the (conservation tips) the government proposes. We signed a fixed-rate contract, but we’re probably paying the same as if it were time-of-use.” Signing a contract with a third-party energy retailer is the single, only option for small business owners in areas where time-of-use rates are in effect, and the savings are minimal. Being in the business for so long, Sourges knows that eventually his business and others like it will be forced to pass the cost of the power bill on to customers. Some current business owners in his line of work could easily be swayed into storing merchandise in a darkened warehouse and handling sales through a website, thus eliminating staff members. “There are ramifications to rising hydro rates that aren’t as obvious as saying ‘I’m going to have to pay a few hundred a month more,’” said Sourges. “If you’re a manufacturer and your location isn’t important, if you find a place that costs 20 per cent less, you go there. If you’re serving a lo-

cal market you might have to change your type of operation, fire a few staff or increase the cost to the buyer. Ultimately the customer pays in the end - it doesn’t matter what type of business. No one likes to hear that, but that’s the reality.” COSTS UP

For his Northside Road location in Bells Corners, Sourges estimates his electricity costs have risen by $1,500 a month in the past five years. Sourges, who serves as chair of the board of the Bells Corners Business Improvement Area, said the small- and medium-sized business that make up a community could use some form of relief. He stressed that he understood the need for regular grid improvements and maintenance, and knows such work isn’t cost neutral, but did say that businesses need to be able to stay competitive in the marketplace. “In most business, when you buy in bulk, you get a deal. With a regulated monopoly like hydro, it doesn’t work that way. At a minimum, larger power users should be able to deal with lower than existing kilowatt hour rates.”

Despite continued sluggish, marginal growth in the province’s economy, there has been little word from Premier Kathleen Wynne on how the provincial government plans to turn the situation around. That could change after Finance Minister Charles Sousa delivers his fall economic statement, scheduled for Nov. 7. In his previous statement from May of this year, Sousa said the province is on track to eliminate the budget deficit – pegged at $11.7 billion for 2013-14 – by the 2017-18 fiscal year. During that time, however, the province’s debt is expected to rise, hitting $303.9 billion in 2015-16, according to the 2013 Ontario budget. These forecasts could change, especially if economic growth projections aren’t realized. The recent announcement that Ontario would not be moving forward with a planned build of new nuclear generators -- instead relying on a refurbishment of existing reactors -- is an indication the Liberal government might be recognizing the potential economic impact of rising rates. Changes made earlier this year to the FIT program (under which wind and solar genera-

tion are managed and paid for) and the contract with Green Energy Act partner Samsung reinforce this notion. The early estimates of longterm rate increases needed to accommodate grid improvements and the rollout of the act were seriously underestimated. As well, the projected power needs for the province in the near future were overestimated. The Independent Electrical System Operator projects a 0.5 per cent decline in energy demand in 2013, and a 0.1 per cent decline in 2014, a situation that was not envisioned at the end of the last decade. The opposition Progressive Conservatives and New Democratic Party, as well as the Green party of Ontario, have all criticized elements of the Green Energy Act, while the province’s auditor general slammed the Liberals in the wake of the 2011 election for not performing a cost analysis of the act before moving forward with it. A report published in June of this year, however, sheds some light on where rates could go in the near future. “Ontario Electricity Options Comparison: Illustrating the Economics of Ontario Energy

Supply Options” is a report by Strategic Policy Economics that was commissioned by the Power Worker’s Union, which representing Ontario Hydro workers. The paper sought to explore the electricity rate impact and overall economic impact of policies stemming from the previous long term energy plan, giving two projections going forward – one where investments in nuclear generation are continued while investments in wind energy are curtailed and the other where nuclear investments curtailed and wind energy targets laid out in the Green Energy Act are continued. MONTHLY BILLS

Stating that its estimates are accurate to between two and three per cent, the report determined that under the 2010 plan, the average residential electricity bill would rise by 52 per cent between 2011 and 2017 (prior to the addition of the 10 per cent Ontario Clean Energy Benefit), leading to household monthly bills of $865 (for consumption of 800 kWh/month) once the benefit is removed in January 2016. Between 2011 and 2024, resi-

dential rates would rise by 75 per cent. Under the same plan, industrial rate impacts would increase 34 per cent between 2012 and 2017, tripling the gap that already exists between Ontario rates and the U.S. average. This figure would rise by 87 per cent between 2012 and 2024. As for the economic projections based on wind and/or nuclear investments, the report takes a longer view, looking ahead to 2035 when wind installations procured under the Green Energy Act will have reached the end of their lives. A retained wind scenario would also see 313 million tonnes of GHG emissions between 2014 and 2035, instead of the 206 million tonnes under a reduced wind, heightened nuclear scenario. For a plan that was introduced as being the saviour of the environment while being easy on wallets, the Green Energy Act has proven to be something far different. And, while the economy struggles for momentum, it is clear the province’s focus needs to recognize all factors that can impact the economy, including energy.

News - Three pioneers of science are the most recent inductees to the Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame. Part of the National Science and Technology week activities, the Canada Science and Technology Museum announced it was inducting Arthur Porter, Sylvia Fedoruk and M. Vera Peters into the museum’s hall of fame. Porter (1910-2010) has been named

a pioneer in the field of computers, building one of the world’s first analog computers in the early 1930s. He has also been credited with leading biomedical research programs in Canada. Fedoruk (1927-2012) was part of a team that helped develop the Cobalt60 cancer therapy unit, which according to the museum, has helped millions of people. The therapy unit became the international standard for cancer treatments. Fedoruk also created one of the first nuclear scanners in the world,

which helped to detect both liver and thyroid cancer. In 1998, Fedoruk, served as lieutenant-governor of Saskatchewan after leaving her position as chancellor of the University of Saskatchewan. She was the first woman to hold both of these positions. Fedoruk is also a member of the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame. HODGKIN’S DISEASE

Peters (1911-1993) early research involved finding a cure for Hodgkin’s

disease, which was at the time considered impossible, and her breast cancer research in the late 1950s demonstrated that a lumpectomy with radiation therapy is just as effective as a mastectomy - this method has now become the norm in treating breast cancer. A partnership with the National Research Council of Canada, Industry Canada and the Association of Partners in Education, the museum established the hall of fame in 1991 to mark the council’s 75th anniversary. There are currently 57 members in-

ducted into the hall of fame, including Alexander Graham Bell, J. Armand Bombardier and Sir Sandford Fleming. The hall is part of the museum’s Innovation Canada exhibition. Anyone can nominate a person or an organization that has made exceptional contributions to the fields of science or engineering. The museum welcomes new inductees each year and more information about the hall and the museum is available at sciencetech.technomuses. ca.

Christmas comes early For those looking to get a head start on their Christmas shopping, All Saints Catholic High School in Kanata was a great place to begin. The school hosted its 12th annual Christmas craft fair and fundraiser on Nov. 2, with funds raised going to support Grands and Friends, a group of local women who are raising funds for African grandmothers who take care of orphaned children due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Funds and dry goods collected at the door supported the school’s Christmas hamper project. The fair featured more than 140 tables of handmade treasures by local and regional artisans. Here, Grade 11 student Lulu Wang shows off a frame created in the school’s woodworking class.

The recent sinkhole was fixed in about 28 hours from Oct. 7 to 8, and cost the city $2,037 in overtime payments for road maintenance staff. “As part of the annual budgeting process, the city’s environmental services department allocates a portion of its budget to cover costs of this kind,� said Tammy Rose, the city’s manager of drinking water services in an email.

‘The older woman is the most vulnerable of us’

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean 2014 DRAFT BUDGET PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL The 2014 draft budget was recently tabled at City Council. The draft budget balances efficiencies with long-term investment that will ensure a safe and prosperous city. Ottawa taxpayers want key public services delivered responsibly and efficiently. This budget will support and build our city, particularly in the high growth areas like Riverside South and Findlay Creek. I am particularly pleased that the draft budget includes funding for the resurfacing of Albion Road from Tullamore Street to Lester Road and resurfacing of Leitrim Road from Bowesville Drive to Albion Road. There is also money allocated in the draft budget for the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the future widening of the Airport Parkway (Brookfield to Airport) and Lester Road (Airport Parkway to Bank Street). There is also funding allocated for the design of future neighbourhood parks including Boothfield Park and Summerhill Park in Riverside South and Creekview Park and the Leitrim East neighbourhood park in the Findlay Creek community. There are also planned life-cycle renewals at the Fred Barrett Arena. I know many families, like my own, use the Fred Barrett Arena for various activities and I am pleased to see the city providing improvements to the facility. As a hockey dad, I am also pleased the City will maintain the freeze of Parks and Recreation fees which benefit the many residents and families who access these services. The complete draft budget is available online for your review at www. ottawa.ca. Residents are also encouraged to share their feedback via e-mail at www.stevedesroches.ca and budget2014@ottawa.ca. Over the coming weeks, I will be reviewing the budget in great detail and will be looking to the community for your feedback. The final budget debate will be held during the last week of November.

When it comes to leaving an abusive relationship, those over 60 face unique barriers Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month and the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre is helping by providing options and a support system for women and children who experience violence. Violence against women can take many forms: physical, sexual, psychological, verbal and financial. It’s not limited to a specific culture, income level or community where people live, said Vivienne, a peer support worker at the resource centre who preferred not to use her last name. “They come from all walks of life;

it impacts everyone,” she said. “It’s surprising to some to learn that.” According to a document recently released by the resource centre: • Six per cent of Ontario women living in a common-law or marital relationship report experiencing physical or sexual assault by their partner. • Less than 25 per cent of victims of spousal violence report the incident to the police. * Spousal violence is most prevalent among 25- to 34-year-olds. • Eighty-three per cent of victims of spousal violence are women. Sandy, a peer support worker at the resource centre who preferred not to use her last name, said the statistics on violence against women are alarming. “One in three women will experience sexual abuse; for disabled women, it’s 85 per cent,” she said. Metroland Media is publishing articles throughout November on various aspects of violence against women. The first installment focuses on older women and the barriers they face when deciding to leave an abusive relationship. There are a number of barriers

REMEMBRANCE DAY CEREMONY AT MANOTICK LEGION I would like to invite residents to join me in paying respect to the men and women who have served our country as the Manotick Legion will host its Remembrance Day celebration and ceremony beginning at 11:00am at Branch 314, 5550 Ann Street. Veterans who wear their medals or uniforms may ride OC Transpo and Para Transpo for free during National Veterans’ Week. Companions accompanying veterans during National Veterans’ Week also ride free of charge.

women who experience abuse face when making the decision to leave an unhealthy relationship, said Vivienne. Some of the reasons highlighted in the resource centre’s Handbook on Abuse include: • Fear: abused women are in the most danger when they try to escape. • Lack of economic resources: many women in an abusive relationship have no control over their finances. They fear they may not be able to provide for themselves or their children if they leave. • Isolation: many abusers isolate their partners from family and friends, leaving abused women with no support system. • Societal denial: abused women feel no one will believe their partner is capable of violence. • For the children: some women stay in unhealthy relationships because they believe it’s better for their children to have a father, even if he’s abusive. • New Canadians: they may not speak the language or feel their cultural community isn’t supportive of them leaving their partner. As women age, they face even more barriers when it comes to leaving an abusive relationship, said Sandy. “If they’re married for 40, 50, 60 years, how do you leave that person?” she asked. “The older woman is the most vulnerable of us,” said Vivienne. “It’s the old school way of thinking, ‘I don’t want people to know.’ There’s a huge stigma attached.”

WARD 22 COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS OPEN HOUSE

One in three women will experience sexual abuse; for disabled women, it’s 85 per cent

I would encourage residents in the Riverside South and Findlay Creek communities to come out to their respective open houses and annual general meetings to learn more about what is going on in their communities. The Findlay Creek Community Association will be hosting their open house on Wednesday November 20th from 6:30-8pm in the Lion’s Hall at the Fred Barrett Arena, 3280 Leitrim Road.

SANDY

The Riverside South Community Association will be hosting their open house on Thursday, November 21st from 6:30-8pm at the Rideauview Community Centre, 4310 Shoreline Drive.

Older women may have tried to leave their abusive partner in the past only to have an authority figure tell her to work it out behind closed doors. “Because of the way the systems were in the past, a woman was told to go home and fix the marriage,” said Sandy. She’s had clients who were told by their priests that they weren’t allowed to leave the marriage because they made a vow to God and others who contacted police to report abuse against themselves and their children. The answer at the time was to remove the abused children – but if there were others who hadn’t been touched they remained in the home.

Children may press mom to stay at home Continued from page 18

“She felt she had to stay to protect those other children,” Sandy said. Because there were little to no support systems in place in the past for abused women, many older victims who initially tried to get help fear the same lack of response and so remain with their abusive spouse, she said. Compounding the past lack of supports, as children age they can become part of the problem. Abuse is a learned behaviour, said Sandy, and adult children can use emotional blackmail to keep their mother in the relationship. “(Adult children) can both pressure the mom to stay in the marriage, as well as they can perpetuate the abuse because they’ve learned it,” she said, adding subsequent generations can also play a factor. “Women are afraid they’re going to lose contact with the grandchildren.” Health issues may also play a role as women and their abusers age. Women may not have access to a health plan because her partner controls the benefits. Vivienne said she’s seen cases where the partner threatens his spouse by withholding medication or benefits. “Abusive characters tend to get worse with age,” she said. “They’ve hidden medication. They do things deliberately to get a kick out of it.” She said she’s seen other cases where the abuser may be ill and the woman feels guilty if she leaves him. “No matter how he’s treated her, it’s a huge issue to ask a woman to walk away from the role,” Vivienne said about being a caregiver. In line with financial abuse and the barrier of limited economic resources, an older woman may feel it’s too late for her to find work to support herself if she leaves her husband.

It’s never too late to get help An abused woman is most as risk when she’s leaving her partner, said Vivienne, a peer support worker at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. But there are ways to minimize the risk. If planning to leave, women should decide where they can go that is safe. This could be a shelter, or a family member or friend’s house. “It’s very scary for a woman,” said Vivienne, about making the decision to leave. “It takes great courage.”

If a woman’s personal safety or that of her children is at risk when she’s leaving – call 911 immediately, said Vivienne. CONTACTS

OLDER WOMEN

“These are additional barriers for older women,” said Vivienne. But supports have changed – there are new resources available to help women leave a violent or abusive partner, no matter how long they’ve been in a relationship. Vivienne recalled helping an 87-year-old woman break free from her abusive partner. “If an 87-year-old can do it, then it’s possible for anyone over 65 to take that step,” she said. “It’s just that first step that’s the hardest.” The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre has a large violence against women program that helps women living in Kanata, Goulbourn, West Carleton, Rideau, Nepean, Osgoode and Bay wards. The program offers peer support, individual and group counselling services, transitional housing, referrals and resources. The resource centre also runs Chrysalis House, a secure 25-bed shelter in the city for women and children fleeing an abusive home. Counsellors and peer support workers won’t ask or tell women who call to leave their situations – that is up to them to decide. “We just give options,” said Vivienne. “Phoning here, just breaking the silence is the biggest thing,” said Sandy. “Women, often they don’t tell anybody at all because they think people will look at them badly. “The shame that women carry, it doesn’t belong to them; it belongs to their abusive partner. And there is help to empower her, not to make her dependent again; help to establish her own life,” she added. “The same messages are not there now that were there 50 years ago.” And it’s never too late to get help. Sandy said a client in her late 70s expressed it the best. “She said she may only have a few years left but she was going to live them in peace.”

everyday. “Our focus is on the clients,” Lemire said. “We wanted it to be their evening. It was a very joyful, very heartfelt and real.” The centre handed out certificates to some former clients who were celebrating years of sobriety. Lemire said at that point, the celebration became very emotional. The treatment centre got its start when three organizations, the Commissariat du Tiers-Ordre d’Ottawa, Les Chantiers d’Emmaus and the Societé St-Vincent de Paul de la Paroisse St-Francois d’Assise decided to create a shelter for the homeless. The first location was in Hintonburg, where it remained until 1975. The transition from a shelter to a treatment centre happened early on. “We realized we could do more. That we could help,” Lemire said. The organization began offering counselling for drug and alcohol users 1966 and it was around this time that Lemire got his own start as a counselor at the centre. “I worked here for seven years, left for a long time and actually recently returned this past year,” he explained. The executive director said in the beginning, he believed substance abuse could come to an end, but nearly 30 years later in his career, he said he believes substance abuse for some people is a part of life.

“I always dreamed my job would not be needed by the year 2000, but now I see the need is increasing,” he said. Lemire credits this increase to the way some people choose to cope with stresses in their lives, adding it then becomes a bigger problem when the coping mechanism becomes the addiction. For Maison Fraternité, coping with life’s stresses and triggers that create substance abuse is the biggest part of what it does. “Abstinence is half the battle,” Lemire said. “We try to identify the triggers and stresses that give them the reason to use. We aim to give them the tools so they don’t relapse. We see ourselves as the healing piece.” The centre’s three Vanier locations offer services primarily for FrancoOntarian men, women and youth. Clients come from across Ontario for its day programs and residential programs. “We are located in what we consider the stronghold of Ottawa’s francophone community,” Lemire said. “It’s a point of pride to us to be located here.” Lemire added most of the community, except for the organization’s closest neighbours, may not even know what they do. One of the main goals the organization has with its 50th anniversary celebrations, Lemire said, is to help create awareness in the Vanier and Ottawa community to the type of programs the organization does. “We are kind of anonymous in this community,” he said. “There is still such a stigma attached to addictions. Mental health awareness is seeing many champions come out to support it, which is what we need for addictions.” Part of that awareness program was a fun “lip dub” video which features the entire staff, singing a song about the centre. “We wanted to do something different and upbeat for the celebration, but also do something that promotes our services,” Lemire said. The video is available to watch on the centre’s Facebook page, facebook. com/maisonfraternite.ca.

The boards for the Bingham Park skating rink are up and according to the rink organizers, that means skating season is around the corner and more volunteers are needed to help keep the rink in operation this year.

FILE

Volunteers help clear a well-used rink in Vanier. As skating season is quickly approaching organizers for the Bingham Park community rink say they need more volunteers to help keep the rink in operation all season long.

Bingham Park rink looks to be flooded with volunteer help Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - With winter nipping at our heels, one Lowertown volunteer group is looking at getting a jump start on recruiting volunteers in time for skating season. The Bingham Park community rink is located in Lowertown’s west side. According to rink organizer Jordan Sinclair, it services the homes and apartments in the area, providing a place to play hockey or learn to skate. “Since we live in a densely

populated area, one flood gets a day or two of use,” Sinclair said. Typically, Sinclair said, the rink has about 10 core volunteers, with 10 casual helpers. With more help, Sinclair said, the less each volunteer will need to do. The community rink volunteer has been lending a hand at the rink since he moved from Calgary to Lowertown four years ago. Every year, residents from nearby homes thank Sinclair and his fellow volunteers for the work they do, but the joy

for him is making sure the rink is in top skating form. “I love it,” he said. “It’s a way to be outside and a chance to work with young athletes.” Interested volunteers can contact Sinclair through the Lowertown Community Association at info@lowertown-basseville.ca. The rink also has a Twitter account, @ binghamrink, to keep skaters informed of ice conditions during the season. The rink will be open as soon as the weather permits, Sinclair said.

Infill rules would do little in post-war neighbourhoods: residents Infill will still be incompatible if committee of adjustment has the final word, participants say Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Increasing the size of back and side yards is fine, residents told city planners during an Oct. 29 meeting, but what about front yards? The information session and workshop on the second phase of the city’s new rules to make infill better fit into existing neighbourhoods revealed a conundrum for “outer urban” neighbourhoods – the postwar areas that were suburbs of the former city of Ottawa. When the city first looked at infill rules last year, it created rules for front yards, parking and trees for the core urban neighbourhoods – but not the old suburbs. Now that the second phase of the study has been expanded at the wishes of councillors, city planners are faced with a set of rules that have a glaring hole for the outerurban neighbourhoods: no front-yard rules. “I don’t know how you can deal with side yards and back yards without dealing with front yards,” Fisher Heights Community Association president Bob McCaw said, encapsulating the confusion expressed by many of the 15 or so participants at the meeting at the Nepean Sportsplex. Hand-tied city planners tried to explain how they planned to ask city council to apply parts of the first phase of the infill rules – especially those that deal with front yards – to outer urban neighbourhoods that weren’t included in that study. That can’t happen until appeals to the Ontario

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

City planner Steve Gauthier presents new rules for infill homes during an information session and workshop at the Nepean Sportsplex on Oct. 29. Municipal Board are wrapped up – hopefully before Part 2 of the rules is considered by the planning committee on March 25, said Steve Gauthier, the planner in charge of the project. In the meantime, existing front-yard setback distances still apply, he said. Overall, the participants didn’t express many qualms with the rules Gauthier presented, which are intended to limit the size of new infill homes without taking away property owners’ development potential – and with it, the value of their properties. For lots in many R1 subzones, which allow single-

family homes, that means the maximum building height would be reduced from 11 metres and nine metres to 8.5 m. That would still allow a twostorey home with a pitched roof to be built, but it better reflects the pattern of building in neighbourhoods that have that zoning, Gauthier said. The old height limits were based purely on a bureaucratic exercise dating back to amalgamation, he said – the average height limits for the zoning from the former municipalities was applied. That meant some areas have higher allowable building heights than what had actually been

constructed. The new rules aim to fix that discrepancy, Gauthier said. The trick is not to match the exact sizes of current homes, but to allow progress through

that’s being promoted and neighbourhood character.” The new rules also look at things like putting more space between houses and limiting the distance things like staircases and balconies can project into side yards. But residents who attended the meeting in Nepean weren’t convinced the new rules would make much of a difference. McCaw was one of several people in attendance who pointed out that the committee of adjustment – which operates separately from the city government and approves or rejects minor zoning amendments – could still override the rules. “We’re hoping this will influence the committee of adjustment to make the intent (of the zoning bylaw) clearer,” Gauthier said. “We can cross our fingers that the committee of adjustment members in their authority will see the intent.”

Condo towers aren’t healthy, expert says Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Urban psychologist Suzanne Crowhurst Lennard delivered a warning against a proliferation of condo towers during a speech Oct. 23. Suburbs aren’t the only isolating environment for people to live in, she told a crowd gathered for her Urban Forum talk at city hall. Living in towers can be very lonely, too. “People who have neighbours and acquaintances they meet daily don’t get sick as often as those who are isolated,” Crowhurst Lennard said. “The social fabric we’ve invented is what is helping keep us well.” Crowhurst Lennard is an architect but her work focuses on how architecture and city-making affects social interaction, health and quality of life. Much of her research involves how to make cities and spaces more liveable for children and seniors. Public spaces like squares and parks are the most important factor, especially for children, she said. It’s where they learn about social interaction, social roles and empathy for people who are different from them, she said. “We need these kinds of places where an intergenerational commu-

spaces like outdoor cafes and farmers’ markets are also important “hosts” in the public realm. That’s fine, Michael Mizzi, the city’s chief of development review, said during the discussion. But he said the conundrum is homebuyers are still making the comparatively less-healthy choice of living in the suburbs. “All these people who live on quaint cul-de-sacs in suburbia travel to these urban squares on vacations to Europe,” he said. “Yet they choose to live where they live. “(Developers) are only building what the people want,” he said.

The same public spaces that help keep people healthy also make the area more desirable – and therefore, more expensive. “It’s a problem no city has actually solved,” she said.

Alejandro Caceres shows off the key to his family’s new home on Oct. 30. The family was set to move into the Habitat for Humanity build home on Nantes Street on Oct. 31

First family moves into Nantes Street Habitat for Humanity home Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Despite a few finishing touches – a tile here, a bit of paint there – the Caceres family was ready to move into their new home on Oct. 31. Salvador and Margarita Caceres were all smiles on Oct. 30 at welcoming them to their Habitat for Humanity home they now own on Nantes Street, as they prepared to spend the last night ever in their south Ottawa rental home. It would be the last night they have to carry their daughter, Amanda, up and down the stairs, into the home and into her room. The new, accessible house, has a lift, ramp and special shower for Amanda, who uses a wheelchair and requires 24-hour a day care. It also has lots of space for their teenage son, Kenny, who now attends St. Peter High School, and two energetic young sons, Diego and Alejandro. Margarita can’t work because of Amanda’s needs, so the family wasn’t able to secure a conventional mortgage to purchase a home. The Oct. 30 party celebrated a long road to their house’s completion. Laura Kresz, the co-chair of Habitat’s family selection committee, recalled the first night she

was supposed to meet the family. It’s mandatory that every member of the family that will be living in the house is present for the family interview. Diego, now a busy toddler who spent the opening party happily running around and smiling at everyone who packed the single family home’s living room, was born the day the interview was supposed to happen. “Diego was determined to be here for that day,” Kresz said. “That day, Diego was born.” Margarita gave an emotional thank you speech to all the volunteers and Habitat for Humanity staff who worked with them to help build their new home, calling their move a dream come true. They were presented with several gifts and baskets, including from sponsors and the Portobello South Community Association. Volunteers who put in 150 or more hours of work on the house were also thanked by Habitat for Humanity at the welcome party, where Kenny cut the ribbon to official signal the completion of his new home. “This house was built by dreams and labour,” said Rev. Jocelyn Richard-Livingstone, who blessed the house. “Now only they can bring this final ingredient which will make this house a home – love.”

Ottawa doctors host impromptu fundraiser for Ottawa Mission $2,800 collected to buy new medical equipment the remaining funds to buy blankets, socks and underwear for the mission. “It will give our hospice clients easier access to blood results, especially those with different diseases,” said Shirley Roy, spokeswoman for the mission. The machine offers faster intervention and less hassle for blood work because it involves only a finger prick.

Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A group of Ottawa doctors emptied their wallets to help out a local palliative care facility recently. One hundred doctors held a conference at the beginning of October to discuss end-of-life needs and palliative care services and it was there that some of the organizers, including Manotick family practitioner Dr. Alykhan Abdulla, asked those in attendance to donate some money to the Ottawa Mission’s Diane Morrison Hospice. “We were there, motivated to talk about end-of-life,” Abdulla said. “One of the things we wanted to do is get a conversation going and because we had a group of all in one room, we thought it would be even better to get doctors to give a donation for an organization that was in most need.” The idea to donate that particular hospice, Abdulla said, was because of a fellow doctor at the conference. “Jeff Turnbull has a history with the mission, so we decided to help their palliative care facility,” he said. Turnbull’s organization, Ottawa Inner City Health, provides health services to the palliative care beds at the Ottawa Mission.

“We just really appreciate the recognition that these people are vulnerable; this type of donation promotes easier access to health care.” Roy added the support that this group of doctors has offered to the mission reinforces the commitment staff has to help the homeless in the mission’s hospice. For the doctors, Abdulla said what he saw was a group of individuals motivated to help make significant changes with how palliative care is provided in the Ottawa region. “What’s amazing about physicians is that they are motivated to do good. You give them a challenge and they rise to it,” he said. “There has been a lot of contro-

versy about end-of-life, and physicians want to have a conversation about dying. They are interested in making sure that the right things are being discussed and done.” Abdulla said part of those things discussed at the conference were to make sure patients know what their options are. PERSONAL CARE

“It’s about giving them information,” he said. “It’s about having conversations about personal care.” Abdulla has been practicing family medicine for more than 20 years, but it has only been in the past year that he has been training with a small group of local doctors to offer palliative care services to the community. He started his palliative care training by shadowing another doctor. “It’s a completely different mindset,” he said. “You are not actually fixing things, you are having conversations, you are letting them know and feel empowered.” “And it’s about getting the patients the right kind of medications. It’s really about spending the time to listen and guide people through the process.”

Dickinson House honours local war efforts emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Manotick’s role in Canada’s great wars will come alive at the Dickinson House this November. The Rideau Township Historical Society presents a special exhibit between Nov. 9 and 11 chronicling the Dickinson House in times of war. The exhibit follows Manotick’s contributions through the First World War, Second World War and the Korean War, personified through First World War soldier Hubert Stamp, who died in battle, and the five Spratt siblings who all served in the 1940s. “We’re hoping people will take away the examples of the types of contributions that local families made,” said Maureen McPhee, chairperson of the Dickinson House committee. The exhibit begins in the First World War. The parlour will be set up as though the ladies of the Manotick Women’s Institute have just left the room: half-finished knit socks and scarves will be strewn about, and nightshirts will be under construction at the vintage sewing machines. McPhee said the women’s institute spent much of the First World War sewing and knitting to make care packages for local boys fighting overseas. Along with the necessities to keep soldiers warm in

the trenches, the women also sent Christmas stockings and other treats to help morale, McPhee said. “We’re going to set up the room as if the women had just stood up and walked away,” she said. Alongside the knitting party, McPhee and her team have pulled together information and memorabilia belonging to Hubert Stamp, a local soldier who would have received some of these packages. Money from his pocket, letters and other clues to this soldier’s life will be on display. Visitors can then get to know the Spratt family, which lived in Dickinson House from the early 1930s until 1948. ALL SERVED

All five surviving Spratt children (one died in childhood) served in the Second World War, including Helen Spratt. Helen served as a civilian cipher clerk in Gaspe, Que. unravelling radio frequency transmissions from German u-boats in the North Atlantic. Using a system called highfrequency direction finding, land stations would triangulate their signals with signals received on Royal Canadian Navy ships to determine where the enemy submarines were hiding. Helen later became a chief cipher clerk for the navy. Her brother Charles, the oldest sibling, received a military medal of

bravery for helping his platoon get past enemy lines in 1944. “During an attack he had a machine gun and he allowed his platoon to reach their objective,” McPhee said. William and Kenneth Spratt also signed up, although by the time Kenneth was done his training, the war was winding down. Richard served in the Korean War in the 1950s carrying troops to Japan. “It’s a striking example of the type of commitment that was there,” McPhee said. “To have every member of the family involved in the war, I don’t know how unique it is but it’s certainly impressive.” Richard Spratt now lives in British Columbia but will be attending the exhibit on Nov. 11. “He has reviewed everything we’ve done and provided information,” McPhee said. The exhibit will be open Nov. 9 and 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Nov. 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Charles Spratt served in the Second World War along with his four siblings. Dickinson House where the Spratt family once lived will host an exhibit Nov. 9 to 11 commemorating local contributions to the first and second world wars and the Korean War. SUBMITTED

Retirement Residence Residence & Retirement & Seniors’ Seniors’Suites Suites BASELINE AND MERIVALE

News –Manotick drivers are planning a takeover of residential streets in an effort to limit speeding. The Keep it to 40 campaign encourages residents to drive the speed limit – 40 kilometres per hour on every street but Manotick Main – to convince others to do the same. “If we do 40, everyone behind us will have to do 40, too,” said Klaus Beltzner, president of the Manotick Village and Community Association, the group behind the campaign. The association hosted a public meeting on Oct. 30 to recruit campaign volunteers and a pledge that they’ll go 40 km/h from now on. Beltzner said its Manotick residents who are speeding, and Manotick residents who have to make it stop. “It’s us who know the roads, us who believe we are in complete control of our vehicle,” he told the crowd. “But the ones outside who are walking or cycling are the ones at risk if we happen to hit them.” Long Island Road is a particular problem, he said, especially near St. Leonard Catholic School. A city speed board posted on the street for 12 hours on Aug.1 recorded the speeds of 584 northbound drivers, and found that 535, or 92 per cent, went over the 40 km/h limit. On average, drivers went 51 km/h but one driver was clocked at 72 km/ h, more than 30 over. Potter Drive also had a speed board monitor eastbound traffic over a 10-day period in October 2011. That study clocked one driver at 110 km/h – more than 70 over the limit – and 88 per cent of drivers went over 40 km/h. The community association and other groups have long called for a more walkable village, and Beltzner said following the speed limit will

help that cause. He said pedestrians have a 20 per cent chance of serious injury or death if hit at 40 km/h, but that quickly rises to 80 per cent at 50 km/h. “At 60 km/h, it’s pretty much game over,” Beltzner said. He got the information from a cycling advocacy website, copenhagenize.com. He said the fact that the village lacks sidewalks on most streets means drivers must make roads safer for everyone. “We have to share the road with more vulnerable people like pedestrians and cyclists,” he said. “They have as much right to be there as we do.” SLOW MOVEMENT

The Keep it to 40 campaign hopes to start a movement that will slowly normalize a calmer pace in the village. “Right now it feels comfortable to do 60, and going 40 feels slow,” Beltzner said. “The first couple weeks will feel awfully constrained, but then it will start to feel better.” The campaign hopes to collect pledges from local drivers, who can then advertise their commitment through bumper stickers, lawn signs and other swag. Large signs welcoming drivers while reminding them to respect speed limits are also an option, Beltzner said, although he hasn’t confirmed the city’s rules. The campaign relies heavily on peer pressure, which Beltzner and other residents readily admit. “Suddenly (speeders) will see the signs and they’ll smarten up,” said resident Bruce Willems. “They’ll be reminded and they’ll be intimidated. That’s how it begins (to have an impact).” For more information or to volunteer for the organizing committee email president@manotickvca.org.

Bad seed: Insecticide linked to mass die-off of bees Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - About 30 per cent of bee colonies were lost last spring; the second year in a row for mass die-offs. The federal government has linked large-scale farming practices to the decline of insects that pollinate $2 billion worth of fruit and vegetables every year. In September Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency issued to farmers a series of recommendations against certain insecticides known as neonicotinoids. Is it enough to recommend against the usage of neonicotinoids? Dwight Foster is a farmer in North Gower. He’s been scratching a living off the land for many years. A grain farmer with 1,600 hectares – and a feed lot with 1,500 head of cattle – Foster can’t underestimate how crucial insecticides are to his operation. “The seed treatment is very important for the development of the crops,” said Foster, a man of few words. He said there is no reason to rush to judgment on neonicotinoids; that very little science has been done on the issue in Canada. He wonders if insecticides are killing the bees or something else or a combination of multiple factors. Health Canada blamed last year’s dieoff to weather: one cold snap at the wrong time could devastate colonies. Then there’s exotic mites and fungi shipped in unwittingly or otherwise from far flung parts of the world that attack native bees. Or even if it is insecticide-related, at which point in the farming process do neonicotinoids attack them? Foster’s point is that no one at this stage can say for sure. And for him, the stakes are too high to act without certainty: a neonicotinoid ban would be a deal-breaker. “There’s no reason to throw the baby out with the bath water,” he said.

“Without another product in place that does what it does, it would be huge disaster.” Many large-scale farm operations are highly efficient but deeply susceptible to unravelling at the slightest change. Expensive equipment needs to be paid for through expected high yields. The slow eating away at profit that nature caused in the past is, today, replaced by a solid defence against losses – thanks in large part to insecticides. Beekeeper Arnold Polk lives in West Carleton between Pakenham and Arnprior. He has been an apiculturist since the mid 1970s when he took over his father-in-law’s farm. It supplements his income, along with driving a bus and one-time pursuits such as lambing. But beekeeping didn’t supplement his income last winter. “It was a wake up call,” said Polk, who is happy to produce 13,600 kilograms of honey a year. He managed just 900 this year. “I’ve never experienced anything like this before.” Polk is aware of the neonicotinoids debate. He has mixed feelings over farming practices. On the one hand, he knows they must grow more and more efficient to keep up with the competition, including the use of pesticides. On the other hand, he says the relentless pursuit of profit at all costs is having a devastating affect on the natural world. “Farming has changed completely in my lifetime. They don’t even cultivate anymore,” he said. “They are perfecting the bottom line today, but maybe not tomorrow.” However, the die-off on Polk’s property this year had no direct link to neonicotinoids. It was the combination of a Varroa mite infestation and extreme weather. “We didn’t use enough treatment to solve the problem,” Polk said. “In July we had a cool period. And they never made honey after that.”

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Dust is kicked up from a field tilled in Dunrobin. Grain farmers and beekeepers agree neonicotinoids are killing insects in mass numbers. They disagree whether “planter dust” is doing it or the crops – contaminated throughout – are poisoning them during pollination. Others would say neonicotinoids played an indirect role in the decimation. After many years of usage, industrial insecticides are omnipresent: in water, soil, plants and animals such as bees. It could make them more susceptible to parasites and fungi. “I think it’s a contamination but I don’t have any proof of that. There’s a lot of research to do, a lot of unknowns right now,” Polk said. “All I know is that pesticides and bees don’t mix well together. DuPont and Monsanto (companies) do lots of research, but nobody knows the long term.” Beekeepers are anxious for a solution to stave of future losses. Farmers are unwilling to change the status quo for fear of losing profit. That may seem like a strict dichotomy. But according to the Arnprior area’s vice president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Debra Pretty-Straathof, it is more complex. Those who farm corn and soya use neonicotinoids. They are predomi-

nately in southwestern Ontario. Farmers in the Ottawa Valley area include those who require pollination, either because they are growing vegetables or feeding animals on food that flowered. “You will have polar opposites in any group, but we are trying to work together,” Pretty-Straathof said. “Neither side wants to wipe out the other. Everybody wants to help (bees) but nobody wants to have a knee-jerk solution.” She said it is widely accepted among farmers that neonicotinoids are a cause. What is less certain, at least from the beekeepers side, is at what point the insecticides affect pollinators. PMRA is studying contaminated “planter dust.” The hypothesis states that a coating of insecticide on each seed comes off during the farming process. It creates a dust cloud that bees fly though, causing them to ingest the neonicotinoids and die. Anec-

Mauve Friday is Coming. Black Friday will never be the same.

dotal claims from southern Ontario on this theory reached Polk. “He (a beekeeper) said when (bees) were coming back through the cornfield they were falling like rain, and were in some kind of paralysis state,” Polk said. “They’ve lost hundreds of colonies of bees.” Critics say inhalation of dust plays a less significant role than does consumption. Neonicotinoids could be fused into the seed and, over many years, the soil, and taken up by the plant through the soil to kill insects feeding on them. Ponds and other water spots could be chemical soups after this many years of using insecticides too, adding to chances bees could be ingesting them. Health Canada regulators have proposed better labelling on insecticides and require farmers to implement safer seed planting practices. Those moves aren’t enough for beekeepers, who are fewer in number and therefore hold less clout over lawmakers. Another year of mass die-offs could harbour untold calamity for many common foods such as: apples, onions, pears, beans, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, common peppers, eggplant, tomatoes and much more. However, at this stage it doesn’t seem those welding power are willing to move any time soon. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren is a farmer, and sold seed to farmers throughout the region. He lauds the effectiveness of neonicotinoids while reserving judgement until further study is done. “It is commonly used on corn seed to protect against insects and disease. It does work. It helps farmers,” MacLaren said. “Canada has very stringent rules about pesticides.” Still, if further studies show them to be harmful to bees or other animals, MacLaren said he has no problem with an outright ban.

Charles Spratt served in the Second World War along with his four siblings. Dickinson House where the Spratt family once lived will host an exhibit Nov. 9 to 11 commemorating local contributions to the first and second world wars and the Korean War.

Dickinson House honours local war efforts Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Manotick’s role in Canada’s great wars will come alive at the Dickinson House this November. The Rideau Township Historical Society presents a special exhibit between Nov. 9 and 11 chronicling the Dickinson House in times of war. The exhibit follows Manotick’s contributions through the First World War, Second World War and the Korean War, personified through First World War soldier Hubert Stamp, who died in battle, and the five Spratt siblings who all served in the 1940s. “We’re hoping people will take away the examples of the types of contributions that local families made,� said Maureen McPhee, chairperson of the Dickinson House committee. The exhibit begins in the First World War. The parlour will be set up as though the ladies of the Manotick Women’s Institute have just left the room: half-finished knit socks and scarves will be strewn about, and nightshirts will be under construction at the vintage sewing machines. McPhee said the women’s institute spent much of the First World War sewing and

knitting to make care packages for local boys fighting overseas. Along with the necessities to keep soldiers warm in the trenches, the women also sent Christmas stockings and other treats to help morale, McPhee said. “We’re going to set up the room as if the women had just stood up and walked away,� she said. Alongside the knitting party, McPhee and her team have pulled together information and memorabilia belonging to Hubert Stamp, a local soldier who would have received some of these packages. Money from his pocket, letters and other clues to this soldier’s life will be on display. Visitors can then get to know the Spratt family, which lived in Dickinson House from the early 1930s until 1948. All five surviving Spratt children (one died in childhood) served in the Second World War, including Helen Spratt. Helen served as a civilian cipher clerk in Gaspe, Que. unravelling radio frequency transmissions from German u-boats in the North Atlantic. Using a system called highfrequency direction finding, land stations would triangulate their signals with signals received on Royal Canadian

Navy ships to determine where the enemy submarines were hiding. Helen later became a chief cipher clerk for the navy. Her brother Charles, the oldest sibling, received a military medal of bravery for helping his platoon get past enemy lines in 1944. “During an attack he had a machine gun and he allowed his platoon to reach their objective,� McPhee said. William and Kenneth Spratt also signed up, although by the time Kenneth was done his training, the war was winding down. Richard served in the Korean War in the 1950s carrying troops to Japan. “It’s a striking example of the type of commitment that was there,� McPhee said. “To have every member of the family involved in the war, I don’t know how unique it is but it’s certainly impressive.� Richard Spratt now lives in British Columbia but will be attending the exhibit on Nov. 11. “He has reviewed everything we’ve done and provided information,� McPhee said. The exhibit will be open Nov. 9 and 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Nov. 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In the case of Castor River Farm, owners George Wright and Kim MacMullin are ahead of a trend to bring gluten-free products directly to their customers. The small-scale grain farmers grow gluten-free oats and buckwheat on their property alongside traditional wheats, barley and other grains that do contain gluten. Wright said it’s precisely because they’re so small that they can keep their gluten-free products safe from contamination. “When you grow grain on a small scale, we transfer grain by the bucket,� he said. It’s relatively easy to keep those buckets separate, he said. The husband and wife team have also duplicated much of their farm equipment so that the gluten-free equipment never touches crops containing the problematic protein. Wright said very few grain farmers in North America sell directly to local consumers, instead opting to sell their crops as commodities to local feed mills. Wright said selling directly to consumers through the Manotick Farmers’ Market or the Castor River store helps him have more control over his product’s purity, he said. “People who need gluten-free products are obsessed with what’s happening in the mill, but there are so many more places upstream from the mill that can contaminate,� Wright said.

He said selling directly also gives him the freedom to please his customers. “Now I can grow anything I think the consumer will want, which is completely liberating in a way.� Castor River’s gluten-free rolled oats are by far its most popular product – but not by design. “The rolled oats have just taken off. It wasn’t our initial plan,� Wright said. He and MacMullin began planting the oats about six years ago and customers loved them, he said. At the time the gluten-free aspect wasn’t the biggest selling point. But now that he has the ability to test for contamination, that’s what customers want. Wright said he and MacMullin might consider switching to more gluten-free crops as demand continues to rise, but they haven’t got there yet. He said the provincial award was a pleasant surprise. “It’s big,� he said. “It just feels good to be recognized for something.� ROOTS AND SHOOTS

Roots and Shoots Farm in Manotick Station was also recognized with a Premier’s Award at the Oct. 15 ceremony in Alfred, Ont. east of Ottawa. The organic vegetable farm operates as a community supported agriculture farm, which means shareholders pay for a share of the harvest in advance and receive a pre-determined amount of produce throughout the growing season. That growing season is getting longer every year as Roots and Shoots works to add greenhouses and sustainable growing techniques to its farm. Last year the farm added four new greenhouses, which allow farm managers Robin Turner and Jess Weatherhead to grow spinach, kale and lettuce throughout the winter, all without heat. The trick is to seed the crops in September to ensure the plants are mature enough to withstand freezing temperatures once the mercury drops. Then Turner and Weatherhead cover the greens and harvest them on days when the greenhouse temperature reaches 3C.

City to revive Arts Court project with extra $8 million Laura Mueller

CHANGES

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Despite the federal government’s rejection of a $9 million grant request, the city is forging ahead with an ambitious plan to redevelop Arts Court. The finance committee will be asked to kick in an extra $8.2 million to get the project going, making the total cost to the city is now $34 million compared to $31.7 million estimated in 2011. It’s worth it, said Mayor Jim Watson. “There was a strong desire, certainly on my part, to see that we invest in a significant facility for arts and culture in the downtown core,” he said. “When you look at all of our big capital spending projects, they are primarily recreation and in the suburbs … and there was really no significant infrastructure project in the downtown core.” The project might still see a bit of money from the Canada Cultural Spaces fund, said SAW Video director Penny McCann. She said some of the groups that will be tenants in the new building plan to apply to the grant program to cover the cost of equipment and fixtures as part of the $3.2 million the groups will be required to contribute. The lion’s share of that will be paid through fundraising efforts led by the Ottawa Art Gallery, McCann said. Fundraising that amount isn’t a burden on the groups, who see the project as a partnership between them and the city, she said. And it’s nothing new, she added. “We as organizations have already contributed significantly to our space,” she said. “We didn’t sit back and wait for the city to improve our spaces for us.” The city will shift $2 million in savings on more limited upgrades to the Ottawa Baseball Stadium and $1 million from a cancelled film studio into the Arts Court project. Another $1.6 million per year in operating money the city had already budgeted for 2014-16 – totaling $4.8 million – because the new facility was expected to have opened will instead be used to build it. The city also thinks it can get more money – $4.5 million – for the air rights for a privately developed tower on the northeast corner of the property. Also, a $6 million provincial grant has accrued an extra $500,000 in interest.

Financial pressures, changing needs and a more detailed level of design mean the new Arts Court plans look a bit different than those presented in the spring. The changes would completely remove a 350-seat theatre that was contemplated in previous plans. The theatre would have required more space than originally thought – at double the cost – so the city is planning to build a 250-seat screening and multipurpose room in its place. A smaller screening room was originally supposed to be built in a repurposed space inside the existing facility, which the city determined is not actually feasible. McCann was very pleased by the investment in space proposed for the media arts. “Media arts have grown in this building and has surpasses capacity in all levels,” she said. “We’re very excited about the project.” The Arts Court Theatre’s space at 2 Daly St. wouldn’t be affected by that change, its spokesman Greggory Clark said, and neither would the Ottawa Dance Directive, according to its executive director, Yvonne Coutts. The change doesn’t mean the new centre would be smaller, said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, it just means a change to how the space is being divvied up. “Sure, it’s a different plan,” Fleury said. “It’s that it’s just not needed. We have to make choices in a project. I think we’re still delivering on the vision.”

Media arts have grown in this building and has surpasses capacity in all levels PENNY MCCANN

It was decided that a large new theatre space was redundant because other venues nearby, including the Bytowne Cinema and the French-language theatre, La Nouvelle Scène, offer similar-sized spaces. The Ottawa Art Gallery would get slightly more space on five floors and two mezzanine floors instead of three floors, as originally planned. The University of Ottawa would also receive – and pay for – a larger space in the expanded facility. The universi-

ty’s share would jump from 891 square metres to 1,610 square metres, including the planned blackbox theatre and the addition of four classrooms. A reduction in parking is more concerning for Fleury. While residents who live in the city’s core can easily hop on transit to get to Arts Court, many patrons come from farther afield and will need to drive, he said. “For some of the arts groups, that’s worrisome,” he said. A 160-space parking garage may not be enough, but there are a couple ways around it. If the developer who buys the air rights to build a residential, hotel or office tower at the northeast corner of the site wants more parking, the company could pay to build it. It’s also possible to work out agreements with nearby hotels and the Rideau Centre to have patrons use their parking garages, Fleury said. If everything goes to the city’s new plan, a bigger Arts Court would open in 2017.

Residents to occupy Manotick streets ‘Keep it to 40’ speed campaign ramping up Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News –Manotick drivers are planning a takeover of residential streets in an effort to limit speeding. The Keep it to 40 campaign encourages residents to drive the speed limit – 40 kilometres per hour on every street but Manotick Main – to convince others to do the same. “If we do 40, everyone behind us will have to do 40, too,� said Klaus Beltzner, president of the Manotick Village and Community Association, the group behind the campaign. The association hosted a public meeting on Oct. 30 to recruit campaign volunteers and a pledge that they’ll go 40 km/h from now on.

The campaign hopes to collect pledges from local drivers, who can then advertise their commitment through bumper stickers, lawn signs and other swag. Large signs welcoming drivers while reminding them to respect speed limits are also an option, Beltzner said, although he hasn’t confirmed the city’s rules. The campaign relies heavily on peer pressure, which Beltzner and other residents readily admit. “Suddenly (speeders) will see the signs and they’ll smarten up,� said resident Bruce Willems. “They’ll be reminded and they’ll be intimidated. That’s how it begins (to have an impact).�Of course, sticking to the speed limit can lead to road rage, something Robert Peterson knows all too well. He said he has had several incidents with raging drivers near his street off Long Island, including one that lead him to get out of his car and chastise the erratic driver on his tail. “I’m enthusiastic about this project,� he said. “Teaching people to cope with the road rage has got to be a big part of it.� Community police officer Const. Arun Daniels said road rage should always be reported to the police. For more information or to volunteer for the organizing committee email president@manotickvca.org.

Remembrance Day held in high regard

M

other was always concerned that we five children didn’t have the proper respect for the true meaning of Remembrance Day. The school at Northcote with only 18 pupils, had no piano and the few county officials were already involved with the ceremony in the town of Renfrew, and so there was little in the way of observance at the school. For this reason, Mother, each year, piled all of us into the Model T and headed into town where, as she put it, there would be a proper and fitting ceremony to remember those who had fallen in the First World War. Mother’s three young brothers had all been in the army, even though Mother said they weren’t old enough to vote, but they were old enough to fight in the war. By the way Mother talked about her brothers, I wondered if they perhaps had won the war singlehandedly. Without fail, the weather was always dreadful on Remembrance Day. We would drive through freezing rain or snow, it seemed, and at a very young age I wondered if the terrible weather had something mysterious to do with the sombreness of the day. And so when we

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories headed into Renfrew, we were bundled up like mummies with hats and mitts and winter boots. We certainly wouldn’t have the luxury of wearing slacks on such a day and even though I usually hated them with a passion, I was very grateful for the heavy navy blue, fleece-lined bloomers over our long underwear and long beige, ribbed stockings. But it never mattered how much clothes we had on, there was always a piercing wind rolling down Raglan Street where the parade took place at the war memorial and it penetrated our bodies and had us shivering like leaves on tree. The children from the Renfrew schools always marched to the place where the ceremony was held. We five country children were very aware that we weren’t really a part

of a group, but that certainly didn’t matter to our mother. She would wait until the town school pupils had formed perfect lines, looking neither left nor right, and would march the five of us right up to the front row, and position us so that we were actually an extension of the line-up of town kids. My older sister Audrey was most embarrassed, but her protests did nothing to sway our Mother. The town children had sheets of music and we would shudder in embarrassment when we would see Mother walk right over to a teacher, whisper in her ear, and then point to us. We would then see her head back to us with five sheets of music. For reasons much beyond my comprehension, someone from the town ranks of pupils always fainted. Just as sure as death and taxes, as

soon as the person leading the program opened his mouth, one or two would topple over. If the overcome person was a girl, the teacher would rush up, fan her with the sheet music, and if that didn’t help, she would be carried off with her eyes rolled into the back of her head. But if it was a boy pupil who had succumbed to the pressures of the day and toppled over, he was left to lie there until he either revived on his own or the ceremony ended. Emerson said, on the way home, “those Renfrew kids are a sickly lot ... certainly none of us ever fell over in a dead faint.� After all the war songs had been sung, out of the crowd would come a very old man with a shiny trumpet tucked under his arm. He would walk the full length of the parade area, and he wore a soldier’s uniform that obviously had been borrowed. His hands were all but covered with the cuffs and the pant legs bagged over his swath-covered legs. He was very elderly and Mother, ever the one to add drama to any situation, said he probably fought in the Boer War. He played the trumpet loud and clear as a bell, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd. The Renfrew children were the first to march off the parade

grounds and Emerson, not to be outdone by kids from town, turned on the heal of his gum-rubbers and with his arms swinging, marched back down the street to where Mother had parked the Model T. On the road back to Northcote we would be subjected once again to Mother’s stories of how her own brothers went off to war and

For reasons much beyond my comprehension, someone from the town ranks of pupils always fainted

often her voice would catch with the memory. But we knew she was filled with pride and I too would be caught up in the stories. I would think of those uncles, who returned safely from battle unscarred and I would think I was related to true war heroes. Then I would know, even though I was very young, why Remembrance Day was so important to our mother.

Singer-songwriter wins award for song about sisters Orléans performer honoured by Ontario Arts Council Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Arts - Leila Goldberger made the right decision to record her song Sisters, several years after she wrote and performed the song as a surprise gift at her own sister’s wedding. While it was frightening for her to put her song out in the public, it was rewarded with the Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award from the Ontario Art Council. “It’s a very personal thing and easy to get sidetracked by self-doubt and fear,” Goldberger said. “I decided recently to just let that go and be my-

self. The award came shortly after.” She’s been writing and performing songs since she was a child, including while a student at Cairine Wilson Secondary School. “I’ve always written poems or songs or things like that, and I started playing guitar when I was probably about seven,” she said. “High school’s where I really started to write full songs.” Goldberger’s sister asked her to perform at her wedding several years ago. Instead of singing a generic cover, Goldberger wrote her own song about the relationship between sisters. It’s that song that won her the award from the Ontario Arts Council in October, at a gala dinner held in Mississauga. She won the award, called a songwriting award, though she performs all the songs that she writes. Besides singing, she plays the acoustic guitar on her own tracks. “Leila Goldberger was the clear

winner – her song’s excellence stood out throughout the competition,” said the jurors in a press release from the Ontario Arts Council. “We loved the melody, loved the idea and wanted a sister just like in the song.” Goldberger doesn’t have any upcoming performances in the area, but would like to start performing more often. “Music is definitely something I’d like to be doing more of, so this is serendipitous,” she said. “It helps me move in that direction. The plan now is to go back into the studio and record a debut album.” The award came with a $1,000 cash prize, which she plans to use to pay for studio time. Still living in Orléans, Goldberger works from home, operating a graphic design, project management and web design company. But she’d like to start spending more time on her music, and hopefully play some folk festivals in the near future. The song is available on iTunes,

OrlĂŠans player makes final SkyHawks roster Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - The Ottawa SkyHawks have announced the final team roster, and both native Ottawa players who attended training camp have made the final cut. Eric Kiby, a St. Matthew High School graduate, and Manock Lual, a Rideau High School graduate, will be part of the 12-person basketball team playing their inaugural season in the league this year. “Making cuts is never an easy process; we had a group of very talented men which made the decision process very difficult.� said the SkyHawks head coach Kevin Keathley in a press release. “In the end sometimes it comes down to a numbers game.�

The final roster was announced on Oct. 30 after two exhibition games the weekend prior. The SkyHawks won both the exhibition games on the road. “It was a challenge to select,� said co-owner Gus Takkale in the release. “Coach K and I have had some sleepless nights.� YMCA CAMP

The team held training camp at the YMCA in OrlÊans in the lead up to the decision. The other players on the team’s roster include Jerice Crouch, Fred Sturdivant, Jermaine Johnson, Tirrell Baines, Jamie Vanderbeken, Jamal Crook, Justin Tubbs, Mike Rose, Demetrius Jemison and Ryan Anderson. FILE

Local actress part of new Cronenberg project Stephanie La Rochelle part of futuristic multi-media art show Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts – At only 19, Greely actress Stephanie La Rochelle has entered the weird and warped world of Canadian ďŹ lmmaker David Cronenberg. La Rochelle, who made national headlines as a ďŹ nalist on CBC’s Over the Rainbow competition to ďŹ nd Canada’s best Dorothy last year, has left Greely for greener pastures – Toronto – and has now landed herself a role in Cronenberg’s latest futuristic project. The concept, called Body/Mind/ Change, builds on his ďŹ ctional biotechnology ideas from previous ďŹ lms like Scanners and Videodrome to create an interactive videogame experience for online users. The idea revolves around the POD (personal on-demand), a biotech implant that claims to know what you want before you do. “POD reinvents the recommendation engine to make discovering the things you need, love or desire effortless,â€? a website explanation reads. “This state of the art biotech implant will guarantee you personalized recommendations that are 99.999 per cent relevant all the time. POD grows with you to become an intuitive companion, enhancing your life and stor-

After a light training period, POD will be able to predict your deepest unfulďŹ lled desires – even the ones you didn’t know you had.â€?

The multi-media project is part of a tribute to Cronenberg through the TIFF Bell Lightbox theatre. “It’s a little strange,� La Rochelle said. “Cronenberg’s projects are usually different. But it’s a cool con-

PET OF THE WEEK

cept.� La Rochelle plays a 14-year-old girl in the interactive video game, which is a younger ashback version of a character named Elena. Every so often the game ashes back to the

younger Elena with her brother. “When they were younger she went through a traumatic experience with him,â€? La Rochelle said. “It goes through times in their life when he was mean to her and she sort of gets back at him in a way.â€? La Rochelle didn’t want to give too much of the storyline away. She said working on a Cronenberg project is exciting, especially at such an early stage of her career. “It’s incredible to be afďŹ liated with such a big name,â€? she said. La Rochelle will soon start rehearsing for her role in the Sound of Music at Hamilton’s Theatre Aquarius, which will run between December and January. She said she is enjoying her life in Toronto. She has been taking classes while auditioning for roles. “Things are good,â€? she said. The singer said she wanted to come back to perform at the Greely Players Christmas concert at the end of November, but she will be too busy with rehearsals. Even if she can’t visit very often, La Rochelle said she still draws support from her Greely Players family. “I am always in contact with them,â€? she said.

Consider Adopting a Special Needs Pet

MARUKA is a ďŹ ve month old Bengal kitten. She weighed only two pounds when we brought her home but she has now grown to almost seven pounds! Maruka is full of energy and enjoys climbing, running, jumping. She also enjoys hiding under things and chasing soft stuffed mice. This sweet baby girl has beautiful markings and the cutest spotted tummy. She has a soft sweet voice and greets us when we arrive home. 9d ndj i]^c` ndjg eZi ^h XjiZ Zcdj\] id WZ ÆI=: E:I D; I=: L::@Ç4 HjWb^i V e^XijgZ VcY h]dgi W^d\gVe]n d[ ndjg eZi id Ă’cY dji H^bean ZbV^a id/ X[dhiZg5i]ZcZlhZbX#XV ViiZci^dc ÆEZi d[ i]Z LZZ`Ç

they need nothing more than a little extra time, patience and love from their owners. Potential adopters may be reluctant to bring Gunner home because of his special needs designation. He has a condition called recurrent conjunctivitis with chronic ocular discharge, which just means the tissue around his eyes gets inamed. This is usually caused by a viral infection and it’s likely that once his stress level is reduced in his forever home, his immune system will get stronger and he will be less prone to these eye infections. Gunner loves to curl up on your lap for ear scratches and pets. He gets along well with other cats but prefers not to share his home with dogs as they scare him. He is also trained to walk on leash!

If you’re thinking about adopting a special needs pet, here are some considerations: s 7HAT ARE THE CIRCUMSTANCES surrounding the animal’s needs? s -IGHT THERE BE ADDITIONAL COSTS Are there special medications, treatments or food your pet will require? s #AN YOU ACCOMMODATE THE animal’s need in your lifestyle?

The Ottawa Humane Society is often full of people in the community cat rooms, playing with the kittens. Just across the way, animals like sevenyear-old Gunner the cat watch all the attention bestowed upon those tiny bundles of fur. Though they’d also make wonderful and loving pets, being a little older or having a “special needâ€? means Gunner and others aren’t always the recipients of the same kind of interest. Gunner has been at the OHS since February. People visit, perhaps take a look, but then pass him up for a younger, smaller cat or kitten. It’s time for Gunner and the other older or special needs animals to ďŹ nd loving forever homes to call their own. Special needs pets may require medication, a special diet, or extra post-adoption vet care. In some cases,

Remembering Valérie Eric Goneau, centre, is surrounded by volunteers prior to the start of the third annual Valérie’s Flutter Foundation gala event, which took place on Nov. 2 at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre. The gala event was held in honour of Eric’s sister Valérie, who was just 20 when she died from a rare form of cancer called chondroblastic osteosarcoma. But even as she underwent treatment, she was inspired to help others through public speaking, and established Valérie’s Flutter Foundation. Her family carries the torch and continues to honour her legacy through the foundation, said Goneau. The evening raised $50,000 in support of the Ottawa Health Research Institute. From left to right are volunteers Daria Spencer, Sophie Deslauriers, Maryse Deslauriers, Goneau, Tesia Bryski, Emilie Gundlach, and Stephanie Bertrand.

Everyone should know the support of a strong foundation . It is our goal to provide all children and youth in care with long-term supportive relationships. These bonds can come in many forms, just like the children and youth in our care. Throughout the month of November we ask you to consider the role that lifelong relationships have played in your life. Friends, family and community can enrich our lives. It is up to us to ensure that children and youth in care have the opportunity to form these lifetime bonds. Consider how you can help make this need a reality for children and youth in the Ottawa area.

The focus of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) is child safety. We work in collaboration with families and community partners to resolve any concerns or struggles parents may be faced with. We provide the family with support to ensure children and youth receive safe and nurturing care, while staying at home. If a child does come into care, CASO continues to provide support so that the family, if possible, can be reunited. When a child comes into the permanent care of the Society, a permanency plan is created. This plan may include living with kin, legal custody, or adoption. Customary care is also an option for First Nation, Inuit and Métis children, which allows a child to live with a caregiver identified by the child’s community.
