News - An extensive investigation led to two arrests and netted large quantities of cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana and thousands of dollars in cash in Alta Vista last week. Ottawa tactical police officers and drug-unit investigators executed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act warrant in the 1600-block of Playfair Dr. on Thursday, Nov. 6, the culmination of an investigation that played out over several days in October and earlier this month, police said in a statement. Investigators said they seized a large quantity of drugs, including 95 grams of cocaine with a street value of $9,500, 36.5 grams of Methylenedioxyamphetamine or MDA, said to have an estimated street value of $720, as well as 21.3 grams of marijuana valued at

$210. The police raid also turned up approximately $22,000 in Canadian currency. As a result of the investigation, police apprehended a 21-year-old male and a 28-year-old female, both of Ottawa, who are each facing charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine. The male suspect has also been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking MDA, possession of a schedule II substance or marijuana, and possession of the proceeds of crime over $5,000 and under $5,000. The female suspect is also facing charges under the Highway Traffic Act, including driving while disqualified. Both were held in custody for show-cause hearings in court on Nov. 7.

South Ottawa man busted for posting child porn flyers erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A south Ottawa man was taken into police custody last Friday after investigators say he posted flyers depicting graphic nude images of young girls, one as young as about six years old. The suspect unwittingly led police right to his doorstep thanks to contact information he included on the disturbing flyers. “On one of the images, or one of the collages, his email address was there. He was reaching out; he wanted to be contacted so he could take pictures of girls,” said Sgt. Maureen Bryden, head of the Ottawa police Internet child exploitation unit. “He calls it modeling, but they’re naked.” The legal-size paper flyers featuring collages of graphic colour images of very young girls, including some rape

images, first appeared on ballpark bleachers and play structures near the Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre on Paul Anka Road in September.

“It’s disturbing because you’ve got little kids that are going to the playground.” Sgt. Maureen Bryden, Ottawa police Internet child exploitation unit

A resident took them down and immediately contacted police. “It’s disturbing because you’ve got little kids that are going to the playground,” Bryden said. Then in October, more fly-

ers featuring similar graphic images of young girls appeared in the lobby of a commercial office building in the 100-block of Elgin St. in downtown Ottawa. Patrol officers were called to investigate, and seized the images. The flyers raise alarming questions about the suspect’s intentions in advertising his contact information. “Is he reaching out for a child to contact him or does he think a parent’s going to call him, or what?” said Bryden. “He’s that disturbed that he honestly believes someone’s going to contact (him) other than the police.” She said she feels better with the recent arrest because of worries the suspect’s behaviour could escalate. “You start at one level and you progress; so what are you going to progress to next?” she said.

Investigators credited with identifying child porn suspect Continued from page 3

HERE WE GROW AGAIN!

Det. Tami Casselman with the Internet child exploitation unit is being credited for linking the Hunt Club and downtown Ottawa files. Bryden then identified the suspect, who was arrested after a search warrant was executed at his south Ottawa home and more child pornography images were allegedly discovered.

The man, who was not known to Ottawa police prior to his arrest, could face additional charges as investigators go through the digital evidence that was seized, said Bryden. A 29-year-old man has been charged with three counts of possession of child pornography, and two counts each of the distribution of and making available child pornography. He was expected to appear in court for a bail hearing on Nov. 8.

Raising money-savvy kids

y kids know that Friday afternoons may mean a couple of bucks in their pockets. They come home from school demanding screen time – which they aren’t allowed to have, generally, during the week – and their two bucks. In an ad hoc fashion, I mentally tick off the ways in which they’ve helped out with chores, completed homework and done their music practice during the week to the best of my memory. Then I announce any outstanding activities required of them before they get their allowance. Sometimes, if they do extra things, like raking leaves or taking out the garbage, I’ll give them a bonus. It turns out my ad hoc approach may not be the best. Any parent knows, consistency is key when it comes to good parenting. And it turns out systematically training kids about the value of money may make a big difference in how they handle their finances in adulthood. Giving them an allowance just for the sake of having money in their pockets, for example, may be a bad idea. “Literally, without exception, studies have found that giving a child an allowance, particularly a regular, unconditional allowance that the child can depend upon, is a terrible

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse idea,” writes financial scholar Lewis Mandell in a 2013 article. “It could be considered a form of child abuse.” That may seem a bit harsh, but Mandell’s study of financial literature suggests that an unconditional allowance is associated with “diminished financial literacy,” and miscomprehension of the value of that money carries into adulthood. There are a number of ways around this. Some scholars argue against tying allowance to chores. Others suggest distinguishing between regular chores required of any household member, and chores-formoney that will get them their weekly paycheque. Tying the amount to your child’s age can be effective. Kids require more money as they get older. Perhaps 50 cents per week per year of age, or a dollar, depending on your family’s budget. But more important than doling out the cash is training kids about spending versus saving. One system that has worked well for us is giving the boys three mason jars

each – one for spending, one for short-term saving (like Trash Packs and Pokemon), and one for long-term saving (like a pet goldfish or a new bike). It’s important to us that our children understand that having money means prioritizing. We’re open with the kids about our own spending – why we’re cutting back on groceries to boost mom’s pension savings. And while I don’t like to say outright, “we can’t afford that,” I am clear that some families have more than others or they value certain things more than we do. The message I’m hoping to impart is that being responsible with money is about making choices, constantly. Sometimes, the best way to teach is through experience. NEW BIKE

When he was seven, my eldest son decided it was time to upgrade his bike. He wanted a bigger frame, gears and suspension. He got a lump

sum of money from a relative for his birthday. When added to his savings jar, he had $50, the most he’s ever seen at once. “Is that enough for a brand new bike?” he asked, excitedly. We told him it wasn’t. But if he checked carefully through the classified ads, maybe he could find a second-hand bike for that amount. He spent several days searching and found the “bike of his dreams” for $75 online. We helped him call the seller and offer him $50 for the bike. The seller accepted. My son learned the art of savings, research, patience and the potential for negotiation. This year, the big temptation is a betta fish. They only cost $6.99 each at the pet store. “Can I get one? I have $7.” Aah, but that little fish needs a bowl and food and a fish environment. We worked out that the total cost for a year of care, plus his initial investment, would be close to $40. The result? He’s saving his pennies and price-comparing fish bowls. Teaching kids about money isn’t easy. Heck, I know I’m still learning new things about finances every day. But if we want our children to have the opportunity to be financially comfortable in future, it’s time to put financial literacy on the curriculum both at home and at school.

A worthy national holiday

move to make Remembrance Day a statutory national holiday starting in 2015 is receiving support from all federal parties. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time coming. The national day of mourning is already observed as a holiday by six provinces and three territories. But Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Manitoba, comprising the majority of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population, do not recognize Remembrance Day as a statutory holiday. Federal employees already observe the holiday, and private businesses always have the option to give their employees the day off on Nov. 11. Many choose to remain closed through 11 a.m. In Ontario, Remembrance Day was removed as a general holiday in 1982 by the Progressive Conservatives under Ontario premier Bill Davis. The bill to make Remembrance Day a national statutory holiday, bill C-597, introduced by New Democrat MP Dan Harris, has passed second reading, receiving support from all federal parties. If the bill passes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to each of the provinces to pass

corresponding legislation. The legislation is certainly timely, as this year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. Remembrance Day is also at the forefront in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind following the deaths of two Canadian soldiers, the results of attacks in Quebec and Ottawa last month. The arguments against creating another statutory holiday are largely economic, stemming from the loss of productivity and therefore the sacrifice of profits. Compared to the sacrifice made by soldiers in past conflicts and wars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the ultimate sacrifice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this argument falls flat on its face. Sacrifice is a concept fresh on the minds of Ontarians who watched the funeral procession of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was shot and killed by a gunman while standing guard at the National War Memorial on Oct. 22, travel from Ottawa to Hamilton. If it does become a statutory holiday, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to Ontarians to take advantage of the day to contemplate the extent of their freedoms and their ultimate price.

COLUMN

Just make sure to keep the remembrance

here is renewed talk of making Nov. 11, Remembrance Day, a national holiday. An NDP private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill has received government support and therefore has a good chance of passing. On the surface, that seems like a good idea. Remembrance Day is an important occasion, especially important this year in the light of tragic events. Making it a national statutory holiday would give recognition to this. But there is more to it. Creating a new national holiday would have other consequences that we might not like so much. In six provinces, Remembrance Day already is a holiday; in four provinces, including Ontario and Quebec, it is not. Furthermore,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town regulations regarding school and store openings vary widely. In our city, under municipal law, most retail establishments must remain closed until 12:30 p.m. One thing that does is make Remembrance Day a day unlike other holidays. Although federal public servants have the day off, others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. That means people who work downtown will be close to Remembrance Day ceremonies and will attend them.

means Remembrance Day ceremonies for students. Remembrance Day is special the way it is. What if it became a national holiday? Well, a lot depends on whether the stores are open. We know what happens here. Many people who have the day off flock to the shopping centres at 12:30. That seems to have little to do with remembering. Stores are closed all day in some provinces, open all day in others. In other parts of Ontario, stores are open all day. So in some ways, making Remembrance Day a national holiday would change little for many people. Lots of people already have the day off; many people can shop all they want, all day.

create a long weekend. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distasteful and unlikely. But what we surely want to avoid in all this is making Remembrance Day a day off like any other. No matter how it is legally defined, Remembrance Day will continue to have a deep meaning for many Canadians. But the number of those Canadians could gradually diminish if efforts are not made to keep the day unique. One thing that makes the day special is that people pause in their duties at 11 a.m. for a moment of silence. Is that less likely to happen if they have no duties? Obviously, it cannot happen in schools if there is no school. The last point is important. It is through Remembrance Day observances in the school that the message of Remembrance Day is passed on and has a hope of enduring. The bill itself is generally worded. It just makes Remembrance Day a EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

The recommended design concept was approved by City Council on July 17, 2013. The City has planned this project under Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process. The EA process was ﬁnalized in September 2013 after the completion of an Environmental Study Report. On this basis, Main Street will be renewed as a “complete street” featuring cycle tracks, wider sidewalks, and space for streetscaping. To accomplish this, vehicle lane reductions will be implemented in some locations. The street design varies along its approximately 2-km length. Construction of the project is planned to commence in 2015. Early utility reconstruction works may go under construction in fall 2014. At this time, all interested persons are invited to attend a Public Open House. The purpose of this Open House is to present the draft detailed designs including road geometry, streetscaping details, public art selection, utility works, construction timing, and preliminary trafﬁc management plans during construction. City staff and their consultants will be available to discuss the project, receive your input, and answer any questions. Following the Open House, input and comments will be accepted until December 4, 2014.

SAFETY BEFORE BEAUTY “Personal Services Settings” (PSS) include businesses that most of us frequent on a regular basis and include a wide-range of services such as piercings, haircuts, manicures, pedicures, electrolysis, tattooing and body modiﬁcation. Ottawa Public Health (OPH) works to inform and protect the public at these establishments by offering operator training and public education, and conducting regular health inspections of premises. Recently, OPH surveyed the public to see how often Ottawa residents access the various types of services.

To no one’s surprise, many respondents indicated that they had been to a hair salon and had received a manicure or pedicure. After all, who doesn’t like getting their hair and nails done! More surprising, however, was the high number of people who indicated that they have had at least one piercing or tattoo, and many had purchased more invasive, non-traditional personal service procedures such as body modiﬁcation, tongue splitting and branding.

FAQS How often are Personal Service Settings (PSS) inspected? Public Health Inspectors conduct at least one inspection per year of all known PSS locations to ensure they meet all infection prevention and control practices, as outlined in the provincial PSS standards. Inspections are also done in response to complaints.

Why can’t I find an inspection report for the PSS location I am searching on ottawa.ca/PSSinspections? This website was launched in the past year and only recent inspection results are available.

A blind sided win To the editor,

Featherston Drive Public School sent an intermediate girls team to play in the annual Ottawa public school board football tournament at Charmaine Hooper Park on Oct. 21. At the start of the season, only 23 girls came to the tryouts, but only 14 made the team. The girls worked hard and practised three times a week, rain or shine and never complained. None of the girls had played organized sports before, and only three played football last year. Even though football was fairly new to the majority of the team, they showed commitment and they were dedicated to learning the game. The girls entered the tour-

nament with their heads held high. The tournament started off with rain and chilly weather. The girls, wet and cold, won their first game convincingly against Alta Vista. Surprised, and full of enthusiasm, they played their second game against Hawthorne where they faced a devastating loss. But the girls kept their heads held high and played an intimidating Glashan team and lost yet again in overtime. Still, having only one win, the girls qualified for the playoffs. Even though they lost their previous two games, no one criticized or complained to each other. The players showed faith in one another and they prevailed with two quick and convincing victories. Winning against Blossom Park in the quarter finals and

beating the favoured Hawthorne in the semis, put Featherston into the finals. Filled with excitement and pride, the girls prepared for the finals. The defence and offence played amazing and the game ended in a hard fought tie. The girls entered sudden death overtime. Sudden death occurs when both teams have three plays to score from five yards outside the end zone. The girls played hard, but ended up with the silver medal. What nobody else knew was Featherston played amazingly with a visually impaired snapper. The Featherston Flames showed how far optimism and faith in people’s abilities can get you. Even though the snapper had a little trouble with

The City is proposing a new tool called the Density Index as part of its Zoning By-law 2008-250.

By attending this session, residents will learn more about the proposed recommendations of the CDP, which includes information about future land uses, greenspaces, transportation patterns and connections for pedestrians and cyclists. Residents will also learn about the implementation tools for the CDP, such as the proposed Secondary Plan, and the proposed zoning changes in the study area. The proposed zoning changes will affect approximately 62 properties. Residents will be able to discuss the process and outcomes with City Staff at the session and inﬂuence the decisions that will ultimately be made for the future of the study area. This event will be the third and ﬁnal open house held for the CDP project. The study area extends approximately 3.4 km along Bank Street, from the Canadian National railway tracks (located north of Greenboro Transit Station) to Queensdale Avenue. The study area includes properties abutting Bank Street, properties located between Bank Street and Sawmill Creek, and several light industrial properties along Hunt Club Road and Sieveright Avenue. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, e-mail SouthBankStreetCDP@ottawa.ca no later than November 18. Need more information?

LETTERS Need for organ donors never greater To the editor,

Re: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kidney donor recognized for lifesaving giftâ&#x20AC;?, Nov. 6, Ottawa South News. With much interest, I read this article. What a wonderful story! That said and done, we have a long way to go when it comes to organ and tissue donation in our province and country. The deceased organ donation rate in Canada, according to experts, is half that of those countries with the best rates including Australia, the United States, and Spain. Spain and the U.S. have 30 to 32 donors for every million people compared to 16 for every million people in Canada. According to Trillium Gift of Life Network, the organ and tissue donation agency of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, only 25 per cent of eligible Ontarians have registered their consent to organ and tissue donation. That despite the fact that organization has made significant efforts and expended huge resources to increase the number of donors in Ontario. And in some of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest communities, the rates are lower. Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation mirrors that of other provinces. Twenty-nine percent of Ottawans have registered their consent. Since the inception of the

Connected to your community

life network in 2002 the oldest organ donor in Ontario was 90 years old and the oldest tissue donor was 102 years old. Based on recent data, the average age of deceased Ontario donors is 46 years old and the average age of recipients is 51 years old. As of June 30, 2014, there were 11,744,011 health care card holders aged 16 and over in Ontario; there were 2.9 million registered organ and tissue donors. Transplantation is an important medical procedure. It is viewed by the majority of Canadians as a necessary and important part of our healthcare system; most expect it will be available to them and their loved ones should the need arise. That said, there is a large gap between support for organ transplantation (more than 85 percent) and willingness to donate. One organ and tissue donor can save up to eight lives and improve as many as 75 others. According to the Trillium Gift of Life Network, in this province we lose four out of 10 potential donors because the family does not consent to donation when a loved one dies. When families do not consent, they often site ignorance of a love oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes. And yet when someone has registered their wish in Ontario, families consent to donation 90 percent of the time. It is incumbent, granted it

can be a difficult subject to discuss with family, on more Canadians/Ontarians to educate themselves about organ and tissue donation and talk with their families and friends about their wishes and concerns. Public education and awareness are key. Becoming an organ and tissue donor is more than an act of charity; simply put, it is the right thing to do. And it is a legacy almost anyone can leave. The need for organ donors has never been greater. Across the country, more than 4,000 patients are waiting for transplants. In Ontario, as of September 2014, the waiting lists for organ transplants totalled 1,553. The large majority were for kidney transplants (1,079, or one third of the wait list), followed by liver (243), lung (89), heart (65), kidney-pancreas (55), and pancreas (12). These statistics mirror those of other jurisdictions in Canada. Many are children. Many will die while waiting. In 2012, 2,225 transplants were performed in Canada while 230 Canadians died while waiting. More Canadians are urged to consider organ donation and make their wishes known to their loved ones today. Governments, advocates, and then medical community can only do so much. The record reveals that the experience most families have with

organ and tissue donation is a very powerful and rewarding one. In Ontario, you can register your consent to donate at: www.beadonor.ca. Beth & Emile Therien, Organ and tissue donation family, Ottawa

City officially renames south-end span Vimy Memorial Bridge Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News - Ottawa’s newest bridge now pays tribute to one of the country’s most iconic military battles. Veterans and area representatives gathered on the Riverside South side of the former Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge on Nov. 8 to officially rename the span the Vimy Memorial Bridge. Members of the Manotick and Barrhaven branches of the Royal Canadian Legion spent months advocating for the name change, which commemorates the 1917 battle that saw Canadian troops persevere against great odds, elevating the country’s status to one of a major power. Members of the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa paraded across the bridge in advance of the ceremony. The bridge opened, following years of delays, in June of this year. “We are forever grateful to you, and all reservist infantry regiments, for your dedication, courage, and readiness to

respond in order to defend and preserve peace and liberty,” said Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches to the regiment’s members. “As a nation’s capital, we are always looking for ways to honour the service and sacrifice made by our veterans throughout history.”

Desroches said the country’s involvement in the First World War, and especially the taking of Vimy Ridge, represented “Canada’s coming of age, where we left the infancy of our nation and cemented our place in the global community.” The battle saw nearly 3,600 Allied lives lost, and 7,400

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod said she felt “humbled and honoured” to be in the presence of so many veterans, as well as serving reservists and military personnel. “I bring my thanks to the City of Ottawa for making this commemoration, but most of all to the members who have served our community and our country so ably here at home and overseas,” said MacLeod. The Vimy Foundation of Canada was also enlisted to participate in the renaming. Founded in 2005, the organization’s purpose is to preserve and promote Canada’s First World War legacy, a mandate that includes school trips to the Vimy site and the construction of an interpretive centre. “As a Canadian leading an organization dedicated to ensuring we never forget the sacrifice of those who served, and continue to serve this great country, I am thrilled and honoured that the proud history that is Vimy will live on through this initiative,” said David Houghton, president of the Vimy Foundation.

These men and women are the definition of courage and strength. They are true heroes, and have set a tremendous example for us all, including our younger generation.” Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre said some residents questioned whether the bridge was grand enough to warrant the new name. “I would say to them that the answer, of course, is that there is no monument great enough, there is nothing we could build that would ever repay those men who lost their lives on those three days nearly 100 years ago,” said Poilievre. “That is why we have to do this and many more parks, streets, schools, bridges, and standalone monuments. We have to honour them every day and in every way, because it is the least we can do.”

When the heat goes out…

THE 11 THINGS YOU NEED TO CHECK

before calling for an emergency heating technician There is nothing worse than having your heat go out in the middle of winter but before you pick up the phone to call for emergency no heat service call there are 11 things you need to check that can save you money and embarrassment when it comes to fixing your heating system.

Before you call a technician

Electrical Panel Check 5. __ If the furnace has a breaker, has it been tripped? (If it has, then the switch will be between the ON and OFF positions.) If it has been tripped, it can be reset by switching it all the way OFF and then ON. 6. __ If the furnace has a fuse, has it blown? If so, it should be replaced. WARNING: If the breaker keeps tripping or the fuse keeps blowing, homeowners should call for service. Furnace Check 7. __ Is the furnace’s emergency shut-off ON? (If the furnace has this switch, it will be located near the furnace and look like a regular light switch only usually higher on the wall.) 8. __ Are all access doors and panels to the furnace secured? 9. __ If the furnace has a standing pilot light in the furnace, is it lit? 10. __ Is your furnace air filter clean? A dirty filter can block air flow. Outside Check 11. __ Is the venting clear of snow, ice or any other obstruction? In many circumstances, this checklist will identify what the problem is and offer you the homeowners a solution to save you money and embarrassment of having an emergency technician show up at your door unnecessarily. If the list above does not fix the issue t is time to call a licensed repair technician by following the next 3 steps: 1. Write down the make, model & serial number of your furnace (or boiler) if possible (this should be on a label on the equipment but oftentimes it can be very difficult to read, if you can’t make it out skip this step). 2. Call a certified licensed technician and schedule an emergency no heat service call. Be sure to give them the information about your equipment. 3. If you don’t know who to call, look for a sticker on your equipment or call Francis Plumbing & Heating and we can refer you to the right company and technician for your specific make of equipment: 613-224-0041 We hope you find the tips on this page useful – we recommend keeping a copy with your warranties and emergency phone numbers for easy recall when you need it.

The night before the invasion the soldiers were in a celebratory mood, laughing and joking. “When we hit the beach, we said, ‘Hey, we didn’t expect anything like this,’” Fields said, and though the soldiers had been warned they would come under attack, the air assault was much more vicious than they had imagined. “We just ran, and ran like hell,” he said. “I’d say we were fairly lucky to come out the way we did.” For taking part in the Battle of the Liberation of France, Fields was one of 16 veterans awarded the French Legion of Honour medal by the government of France at the National War Museum on Nov. 8. “It means a lot,” he said, the new medal pinned over his heart on his legion blazer. When Fields joined the military a week after war broke out in 1939, his friends were doing the same. He still remembers going down to the Billings Bridge recruiting office to speak to a staff sergeant who was recruiting young men to enlist as engineers. Fields was told the job involved building bridges and blowing up things. “I said, ‘That sounds good. I like blowing things up,’” quipped Fields, who came back from the war in 1945, retired from the military and enjoyed a long career as a plumber. Despite being part of the D-Day invasion and participating in a pivotal time in history, Fields shied away from taking much credit the day he was presented with the French Legion of Honour medal. He remains steadfast in his desire to share the honour with his fellow soldiers, including those who have passed and the few who remain. “I thought, ‘What did I do to receive this? Because we all did the same thing,’” he said.

He doesn’t often talk about his memories of the war. More than seven decades later, he is still overcome with emotion when he thinks of the friends he lost in the fighting overseas, including those soldiers he met but whose names he never knew. “I always think of the other guys that got killed, and they were good friends too,” he said following the ceremony at the Brantwood Gates at Main Street and Beckwith Road, which was organized by members of Strathcona branch 595 of the Royal Canadian Legion. The gates, built in 1912, were officially dedicated as a war memorial in 1948. At the base of each sturdy pillar, wreaths were placed by several dignitaries, including Mayor Jim Watson, outgoing River Ward Coun. Maria McRae, members of parliament Yasir Naqvi and Paul Dewar, as well as Member of Provincial Parliament John Fraser. At 95 years old, Fields’ memories of landing on the beaches of Normandy, France date back more than 70 years. But the years slip away and the tears pool in his eyes when he remembers the soldiers who lost their lives in the heat of battle. He was 21 years old when he joined the war effort as a military engineer. He learned how to defuse mines and build bridges, skills that would be required as the troops fought to liberate France. Fields was one of about 20 members of the 5th Field Company who loaded a barge at Southampton, England to sail as part of a massive first assault on Juno Beach. As waves of Allied troops flooded the beaches, enemy planes swooped in low and fired their machine guns at the young soldiers. “We lost quite a few men. We lost six the first day we landed on the beach,” Fields said. “They were recruits. We don’t even know who they are. That’s a shame.” Under heavy fire, the young corporal followed his sergeant major to an outcropping of large rocks, which Fields said saved their lives that day. “I think I was nervous,” he said. “If you weren’t, you were crazy.”

Students pay homage to veterans Erin McCracken

News - Sgt. Frederick Paci touched the mouthpiece of his trumpet to his lips and crisp, clear notes of the Last Post rang out. Veterans of the Second World War, the Korean War and United Nations peacekeeping nations joined serving Canadian Armed Forces personnel in saluting the memories of the fallen. School kids listened quietly until Paci’s final notes faded away into a moment of silence, during which the years fell away for veterans Bill McLachlan and John Newell Sr. during the 19th annual Veterans Appreciation Day at the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre on Nov. 6. Newell’s thoughts were also of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who were murdered late last month. “I’m expecting a huge crowd this year at the armistice parade (at the National

War Memorial) because of the two soldiers that were killed,” said the 92-year-old west end resident who served as a wartime pilot and flying instructor. “It’s too bad, you know. You never think it will happen, but being an old soldier you’re never surprised.” Newell earned his pilot’s wings and his commission as an officer at the former CFB Uplands, and moved around the country during the war years. His marks as a student pilot were impressive, reason why he was kept home to train and prepare others for war. In all, 138,000 Canadian airmen were trained, plus ground crewmen. “We sent them overseas after they graduated,” said Newell, who was among 10 veterans to receive a commemorative lapel pin and certificate of recognition from Ottawa-Orléans Member of Parliament Royal Galipeau, marking the 75th anniversary of the start of Canada’s involvement in the Second World War. In the lead-up to Remem-

With the arrival of cold weather comes a requirement to keep your home’s furnace running on a regular basis. However, for the health of your home’s inhabitants, precautions should be taken concerning the efficiency and cleanliness of your furnace, as well as the cleanliness of your home’s air ducts.

Health Canada and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have determined that indoor air quality can be six to 10 times more polluted than outdoor air in some industrialized cities. Home air contaminants can come from a number of sources, and their effects on those in your home can be serious – and sometimes even fatal. Maintaining the safety of your home’s air begins with the furnace and the air ducts.

fixture at the shopping centre where he hands out poppies every year. “Somebody’s got to do it,” McLachlan said simply. Galipeau also paid special tribute to Cirillo and Vincent, and noted important conflicts through the ages, from the First World War to Afghanistan. By Nov. 11, 1918, more than one-third of the brave men and women who fought during the First World War had been wounded or killed, he said. “That’s an unfathomable number.” Seventy-five years ago Canadians went back to Europe to fight during the Second World War. More than one million Canadian men and women served, and 100,000 – or one in 10 – were killed or wounded. “We must never forget this heavy price our nation has paid to defend our cherished way of life and protect our shared values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law,” Galipeau said, drawing applause. “Please know that Canada will remember. To them, this day is dedicated. Lest we forget.”

told the hundreds of people who gathered for the morning ceremony. “It is an opportunity for us

to consider what Canada to owes to our veterans.” The crowds included teachers and students from St. Patrick’s Catholic High School and Notre Dame High School, among others. In addition to seeing veterans with their medals, the students also had the chance to see a replica war shelter as well as military vehicles and heavy weaponry from a number of Canadian Armed Forces units. McLachlan, who went on to teach electricity and electronics to Grade 12 students following his time as a radar technician during the Second World War, was glad to see the youth represented at the ceremony. “I hope they’re learning to respect adults,” he said. Like Newell, McLachlan came home from England and left the military at the end of the war. “The rest is history,” said the 91-year-old, who took the stage during the appreciation ceremony and recited by heart Our Heritage, a poem about the Second World War. Over the years, the longtime legion member has become something of a regular

It’s vitally important that your furnace is clean and operating at peak efficiency before it’s required to run full-time through the fall, winter, and into spring. If your furnace isn’t running at its best, it can be deadly. Practically every gas furnace creates carbon monoxide, which is a natural byproduct of incomplete combus-

tion. Even though a clean and well-running furnace will produce only minimal amounts of this deadly, invisible gas, which is vented away, an inefficient furnace can produce lethal amounts of carbon monoxide. Therefore, have your furnace cleaned and inspected well before the cold season arrives. A clean and efficient furnace is also eco-friendly, and can even save you money when it runs properly! It’s estimated that in the average six-room house, about 40 pounds of dust is accumulated every year just from everyday living. Ordinary occupation of a home creates all sorts of contaminants and pollutants that find their way into your home’s air ducts. Dust, dander, chemicals, microbes all collect in your home’s “respiratory system.” Those air ducts should be cleaned on a regular basis, but with the arrival of the winter season, homes are sealed tight and those existing toxins and pollutants are circulated over and over. Have your home’s air ducts professionally cleaned, especially before the arrival of the chilly season

Clogged dryer vents pose yet one more serious hazard and health risk in the home. On one hand, congested dryer vents are a leading cause of fires, but that’s not all. Those clogged vents prevent the efficient ventilation of carbon monoxide. And, when dryer vents are clogged, they create the ideal nesting ground for moulds, which pose their own health risks. If you haven’t had your dryer vents cleaned, be sure to address it before the winter season comes knocking on your door. In the Ottawa region, Dr. Clean Air are a professional cleaning specialist. The company provides an extensive number of cleaning services and packages ,that will keep your home thoroughly clean throughout the year, including furnaces, air ducts, and dryer vents.

Exhibition commemorates the bloody battlefields of Belgium Fighting in Flanders – Gas. Mud. Memory. opens at Canadian War Museum Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - A century after their fields were the site of some of history’s bloodiest battles, Belgian farmers still unearth hundreds of tonnes of high-explosive and poison gas shells each planting season. The deadly munitions, which have killed 850 people since war’s end, are piled by the side of the road to be picked up by special teams of bomb disposal experts – an annual act known as the “iron harvest.” These ever-present reminders of the horrors of the past are one reason why the memory of the First World War is kept so fresh and alive amongst the residents of Belgium. In Canada, an ocean and a century removed from the

carnage, residents of both countries have come together to remember the Canadian soldiers who fell by the thousands alongside their Allies on Belgian soil. A new exhibition at the Canadian War Museum depicts the technology, tactics, and the staggering human toll of these nightmarish battles. Fighting in Flanders – Gas. Mud. Memory., which opens Nov. 7, focuses on three aspects of the battlefield – poison gas, firepower, and mud – and applies them to the Second Battle of Ypres, Mount Sorrel, and Passchendaele. In addition to original artifacts, statistics capture the measurements of battle – the weight of chlorine and mustard gas emitted, the number of shells fired, and the tens of thousands of casualties that resulted. “We are very proud that

Right, German field howitzer looms over the Canadian War Museum’s new exhibit. The exhibition, which runs until April 26, showcases the massive World War One battles in Belgium that saw Canadian servicemen fall by the thousands. all Belgian partners involved, and the Canadian War Museum, have agreed about the continuation of the exhibit once it closes in Ottawa,” said Belgian Ambassador Raoul Delcourde. “I understand the exhibition will then travel the whole country, and I’ve just learned

that it might be presented at Canadian embassies abroad.” Sponsored by VisitFlanders, the exhibit called on the resources of the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 in Belgium, the Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres, the E.W. Bickle Foundation, and the Belgian defence ministry,

which helped airlift exhibit materials to Canada. Historians at the Canadian War Museum took over once the materials were in Ottawa. Among those materials is a 210-millimetre Morser 10, a massive German field howitzer with a range of more than eight kilometres, dis-

played alongside a selection of Allied rifles and machine guns, gas masks, and other artifacts. The exhibit comes on the heels of the recent arrival of the stone lions that adorned the Menin Gate near Ypres. See FLANDERS, page 32

Institute creates Women’s Heart Health Centre Cardiovascular disease rising at alarming rate among females Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News - Advances in treating cardiovascular disease has led to a declining death rate amongst men, but hasn’t translated into better results for women. The opposite is true, as heart disease is a growing threat to women, and now kills more each year than all cancers combined. To counter this threat, the University of Ottawa Heart Institute has launched a heart health centre that specifically targets women – a first in Canada. The Canadian Women’s Heart Health Centre, launched

on Nov. 7, seeks to improve care, raise awareness, and seek expert knowledge on how to prevent heart disease in women. Clear distinctions exist between the disease in how it affects men and women, and the centre will use research findings to reverse the growing tide of female cardiovascular disease. “These statistics are shocking, even for me, a cardiac surgeon,” said Dr. Thierry Mesana, president and CEO of the Ottawa Heart Institute. “When I hear that cardiovascular disease takes the life of four million every year, worldwide, I know we have to do more. We have to focus more on women’s heart health. And we can do it – we can change the course.” Most instances of heart disease are preventable, said Mesana, but the differences in how the disease manifests and progresses in women is still being discovered and studied.

The new centre will partner with health providers and practitioners from across the country in order to provide useful programs. Among them are CardioPrevent, a screening and counseling program for women, the Virtual Care Program, an online cardiovascular health management system, the Women@Heart Program, a peer support system for women afflicted with heart disease, and the PostPregnancy Risk Program, which identifies new mothers at risk for future cardiovascular disease. Dr. Michelle Turek, medical advisor for the Canadian Women Heart Health Centre, recalled that just a few years ago, most of her patients were men. “I can tell you that there’s been an incredible turnaround, because now it’s at least 50/50, if not more, women,” said Turek. “I think that tells you a lot about how heart disease impacts women.”

Turek said that advances in treatment and prevention have caused overall heart disease rates to fall by 30 to 40 per cent during the past two decades. This gives her hope that continued work with a specialized focus can lower the rate for women, and she warned against growing complacent in the face of the number one killer of women. “There’s no doubt that there are particular challenges both at the biological and social level in the management of heart disease in women that may impact on the positive trend we’ve talked about, and attenuate all the gains we’ve made in the past few years,” said Turek. As research and information sharing continues, known preventative actions are already available for women. Spreading the knowledge on how to identify and lower risk factors is a crucial step that can empower women and lead to better outcomes for individual health.

Catholic cemetery growing to meet needs of community erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Change is coming to the newest Catholic cemetery in the Ottawa region, largely due to the city’s growing population. Proposed plans for Hope Cemetery, which has been developed in phases over the past 25 years in the booming south Ottawa suburb of Findlay Creek, include a 233-square-metre expansion of its existing chapel for the creation of a reception hall, as well as a new 194-square-metre mausoleum to house funeral urn niches and crypts for caskets. The Catholic Archdiocese of Ottawa hopes to receive a building permit from the city in the New Year so that construction can get underway next summer and be completed next fall. Plans also include the construction of a parking lot with 15 spaces. The changes are small, said Benoît Bariteau, director of cemeteries for the Catholic Archdiocese of Ottawa, but their impact will allow Hope Cemetery to continue to effectively serve those seeking Catholic cemetery services. “We need more room for the families that will come for funeral masses,” Bari-

teau said. “It’s more to allow people to gather together because more and more what we see is families, they move more, so the children come from Toronto, Calgary and so on. “So when they gather for the funeral they want to stay a bit,” he said, adding that space for this is especially essential during the long, cold winter months. “So the extension of the chapel will be more appropriate for people to be comfortable and to answer their needs,” he said. Expansion plans have been underway for about two years because spaces for caskets and urns in the current mausoleum are almost completely sold. For this reason, time is of the essence, said Bariteau. The new mausoleum will allow for the addition of 750 glass-front niches and 80 crypts for caskets. “The demand is here and we plan ahead to answer the demand of the Catholic community and other people that want to be buried in this cemetery,” he said, adding the Archdiocese relies on city statistics in planning for the future. “We know that in the next 20 years the number of deaths in the city of Ottawa will double,” said Bariteau. “We cannot wait to have it so full that we can’t answer the

need.” The Archdiocese purchased the former farmland around the 1950s or ‘60s for the future creation of the cemetery. “Even six years ago when I was appointed director of cemetery services, Findlay Creek was not built,” he said of the property at 4660 Bank St. “Only five years and then boom. It’s really amazing to see how this community is created.” One of his responsibilities in cemetery management is to plan for years, even decades, down the road. “A cemetery is a place that only grows,” said Bariteau, who oversees the operation of 48 Catholic cemeteries in the Ottawa area and outside city limits, including northwest almost to Pembroke, Ont. “That is the nature of a cemetery. People, they die. We need more space to be able to offer the space to the community.” And because Hope Cemetery is the Catholic Archdiocese’s newest cemetery, it will receive the most investment. Only a fraction of the property has been used, and more burial sites will be prepared and trees will be planted in the coming years, Benoit said. The expansion project is currently before the city’s planning and growth management department.

News - About 30 firefighters from multiple fire stations responded to a report of a fire inside a business last week. The company monitoring the alarms at the undisclosed business at 1461 Star Top Rd. off Cyrville Road called in the fire just before 5 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 6. Not knowing what to expect, about a dozen fire trucks from multiple fire stations were called in, according to the Ottawa fire department’s dispatch services. “When the initial call came in it

gets reported to us as a general alarm when it gets reported by an alarm company,” said the dispatcher. Flames and smoke were not visible when fire crews arrived at the scene. A search of the premises revealed a small fire in the building, which was distinguished within minutes. “They put a line (of water) on it and it was knocked down pretty quick,” she said. “So it was obviously small.” Neither the cause of the fire nor the exact location of the flames were given. Damages were considered minimal. No civilians or firefighters were injured in the incident.

Province wants more saveONenergy use Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Business - A provincial energy savings program with “ambitious” goals is not only striving to help businesses with their bottom lines, but also working to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, says the Ontario government. Program participant Tim Hortons is leading by example on this front, Ontario Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli said during a press conference on Nov. 10 at a Tim Hortons restaurant at 2951 Bank St. south of Hunt Club Road, one of 245 Tim Hortons franchises in Ontario that have been renovated this year with energy saving features. “When you show leadership on the environment and conservation front it matters,” Chiarelli said of the company which enrolled in the province’s saveONenergy for Business program in May. “It can inspire others to do the same.” Through the energy savings incentive program, the independent, non-profit Ontario Power Authority, which reports to the Ontario legislature through the Ministry of Energy, has been partnering thousands of businesses, retailers and industrial enterprises with local utility companies to save

energy and money. Every dollar spent on implementing conservation technologies represents a $2 savings in the generation and distribution of energy, according to the power authority, which helps businesses stay competitive. SCALE BACK USE

The program launched in 2011 and will transition into a Compensation First Framework that will roll out in 2015 and continue until 2020 to help businesses, industries and retailers manage their electricity use. The objective of the framework is to scale back electricity consumption by seven terawatt hours or seven billion kilowatt hours by the end of 2020. “That’s as much energy that was used here in the city of Ottawa in 2013,” said Andrew Pride, vice-president of conservation for the Ontario Power Authority. “It’s an ambitious goal, and with all of us working together combining our creativity and aligning our efforts the same as we have with Tim Hortons, we’re confident it can be achieved.” As a participant of the program, a number of new and retrofitted Tim Hortons restaurants in Ontario are saving money on their power bills through the use of LED

and occupancy lighting, high-efficiency heating, ventilating and air conditioning units and hot water tanks. “We try to do the best for the environment and for our franchise owners too to reduce their energy costs,” said Paulo Ferreira, senior director of design and building standards for Tim Hortons Canada, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The corporation is hoping other provinces will follow Ontario in offering a similar energy conservation and incentive program. “We are working on that right now,” Ferreira said. “There’s other programs that are starting to come up but we want to be part of that obviously.” The program is an example of the provincial government’s commitment to passing on financial savings to businesses and corporations as well as conserving energy, which ultimately helps the environment, said Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli. “In doing that, over the last eight or nine years we have built 20 new gas plants, we have invested significantly in hydro development, for example,” Chiarelli said, noting the expansion of the Niagara Falls generating facility with an investment of $1.2 billion and the Mattagami dam, representing a $2.6-billion investment.

Now a monument to fallen soldiers with no known graves, the residents of Ypres ensure their memory is kept alive by performing a ceremonial march to the monument each night at 8 p.m., while sounding the Last Post. Line Vreven, North American director if VisitFlanders, said that because of the anniversary of the beginning of the war, tourism in the region and visits to the national historic sites has risen significantly. The residents who welcome international visitors recognize and appreciate the Allied assistance that allowed Belgium to rebuild into a modern nation, she said. “It was always a very strong partnership,” Vreven said of the Belgian-Canadian relationship. “Canada, Belgium and Flanders share the very same values, in the sense that we’re basically low key but we defend and uphold the freedom and the democracy that we so

strongly believe in.” At the war museum, First World War historian Mélanie Morin-Pelletier joined her colleagues in crafting the exhibit. The intent was to have the exhibit reach as many people as possible. In addition to the fixed exhibit in Ottawa, a smaller, travelling exhibit was prepared for travel across Canada. While battles like Vimy Ridge are well known to Canadians, Morin-Pelletier said the museum wanted to heighten awareness of other clashes, especially those in Belgium. “Somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 Canadian men died in Belgium during the First World War,” said Morin-Pelletier, calling attention to that country’s daily remembrance ceremonies. “They’ve been doing it every night since 1928. It’s a ceremony that commemorates the Allied men who died defending their country, so the Canadians are an integral part of this ceremony.” Fighting in Flanders – Gas. Mud.

Congested no more: Manotick sees big drop in traffic emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Thousands of drivers have found new routes around Manotick now that the Vimy Memorial Bridge is open. A traffic count done Aug. 28, six weeks after the much-delayed connection opened between Riverside South and Barrhaven, showed a 30 per cent reduction in cars and trucks through the Manotick Main and Bridge streets intersection between 7 and 10 a.m. compared to the same time in May. An afternoon count on Aug. 28 between 3 and 6 p.m. found 20 per cent reductions in car and truck traffic compared to that time in May. The bridge’s opening was long heralded as a much-needed overpass for south end drivers, who until July had to go north to Hunt Club Road or south to Bridge Street to cross the river. And, so far, that prediction seems to be coming true. According to the city’s traffic count, 1,768 fewer vehicles used Manotick’s main intersection in the morning peak hours this August compared to May. Another 1,566 vehicles chose a different route in the afternoon.

Anecdotally, residents agree that traffic has cleared significantly through the village core. Almost immediately after the bridge opened, residents were commenting on social media that the village core was much more manageable. Homeowners also noted that there was less cut-through traffic on residential streets like Long Island Drive. But some suspect the drastic statistics are just a summer honeymoon. “That date (for the traffic count) was the last weekend of August, before the Labour Day weekend,” said Manotick Village and Community Association president Klaus Beltzner. “That’s when most people aren’t there. So I would really have to see the September and October stats.” The city did complete a third count at the end of September, but the numbers have not yet been released. That’s not to say Beltzner isn’t pleased with the results. “We have noticed a significant reduction in traffic volumes throughout the day,” he said. Long lineups on Mitch Owens Road, Manotick Main and River Road have all but disappeared, he said. “Any reduc-

Drop could still be summer honeymoon The biggest downside has been a loss of drop-in shopping for local businesses, Moffatt said, although Manotick BIA director Donna Smith disagreed that the new bridge is entirely to blame. “I can’t say it’s the bridge; it’s a lot of factors right now,” she said. She placed most of the blame on the sleepy economy, particularly for Manotick’s boutique shops. “As soon as people worry about the economy, the first thing to cut out is luxury.” She added that as traffic gets better in the village, more people may be encouraged to check out the village more regularly. And judging from the excellent turnout at Women’s Day on Nov. 1, shoppers are certainly willing to try. “From my point of view, there was no deterring anybody coming out when we had something great to offer them,” Smith said. Another side effect of reduced traffic is increased speeding along Bridge. “Especially during the day, we have speeding on Bridge Street and that’s just because there isn’t a car right in front of you going slower,” said Beltzner. The community association plans to ask the city to install larger 40 km/h signs on Bridge Street. Of course, not everyone is happy about the rerouted traffic. Residents along River Road north of the Vimy Memorial bridge have noticed a dramatic uptick in traffic volumes past their homes – something Gloucester SouthNepean Coun. Steve Desroches said was expected all along. “This has been anticipated from the beginning, dating back to when the north/south LRT line was cancelled,” he said. “The

reality is we have a very limited road network in the city’s south end and these are all regional roads. There were never any plans to restrict traffic on these roads.” He said the city has no plans to make the road any more attractive to drivers, in an effort to keep the volumes in check. That means widening or lighting the road is off the table, as well as suggestions that left turns onto River be restricted. “Any steps to artificially restrict the flow brings up another Albion Road situation (like the fight to reopen the road in 2007) that has a lot of negative unintended consequences,” Desroches said.

High Road, which connects Albion Road to Earl Armstrong Road and, subsequently, the new bridge. While he doesn’t have numbers to back it up, Thompson said it makes sense that drivers are using the road as a faster way to get across town. But since part of the road is still unpaved, and trucks have figured out the convenience of the route, Thompson said the road’s questionable conditions must be addressed while residents wait for the long-awaited Earl Armstrong extension to Bank Street – a project that, thanks to a motion from Moffatt and Desroches last

Contrary to longstanding skepticism that the bridge would successfully reroute heavy vehicles, the August count shows the volume of trucks and cars dropped at the same rate. Trucks remained about eight per cent of total volume in the morning compared to May, and about five per cent in the afternoon. “My assumption would have been there would be no reduction in truck traffic, but there’s actually been quite a bit,” said RideauGoulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt. “It’s quite surprising how much impact it has had.” Beltzner said most local trucks and single dump trucks have moved over to the new bridge, but the oversized trucks – dump trucks with double carriages, for instance – still use Bridge Street. And there have been ripple effects in the surrounding area, as well. Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson said traffic has spiked on

year to prioritize Prince of Wales Drive, could still be more than 20 years away. “The city is really going to have to look at some sort of solution in the interim,” Thompson said. That could mean paving High Road – only to rip it up in a few years if the project does get bumped by the city – or committing to a more strenuous grading service to make sure it’s serviceable for the increased traffic. In the meantime, politicians, residents and city planners continue to monitor impacts around the new bridge. “It’s an evolving thing,” Beltzner said.

Bus driver acted appropriately at rail crossing: OC Transpo boss Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Operators of both an OC Transpo bus and a Via train acted correctly during an incident that saw a rail crossing gate come down on top of a bus near the location of a fatal bus-train collision that killed six people last year. No one was in danger during the incident, which took place just before 8 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 6, said OC Transpo general manager John Manconi. The OC Transpo driver stopped the Route 72 double-decker bus about 3.7 to 4.6 metres before the train tracks on Fallowfield Road, but the vehicle was beyond the stop line, so the rail crossing gate came down onto the bus, Manconi said. The double-decker bus was heading east on Fallowfield when the driver came to a stop behind several other vehicles at a red light where Fallowfield intersects with the rail tracks, Manconi said. The vehicles in front of the bus – including another OC Transpo bus, a cube van and two cars – proceeded through the light when it turned green. The bus in question was moving through the intersection when the light turned yellow. Shortly afterwards, the Via train to Toronto that departs Ottawa’s Tremblay Road station at 7:30 a.m. crossed in front of the bus. “(The operator) made the decision to brake, as you have to make a decision when a light turns amber on you, and stopped well in advance of

the tracks,” Manconi said. “He absolutely made the right decision.” The driver did not back up the bus behind the line because he was following proper protocol, Manconi said. A spotter is needed in order to back up a bus. Manconi emphasized that the bus operator was not speeding. OC Transpo can be sure of that because there happened to be a manager aboard the bus who was sitting on the upper deck and provided an account of the entire incident, Manconi said. OC Transpo and the city’s traffic management staff were in touch with Via Rail and all were satisfied with the information and operation of the rail and traffic signals, so no further investigation is planned, Manconi said. “We don’t see any gaps in doing the right thing, which is making sure safety is at the top of our priority list – for ourselves and with Via and our traffic people,” Manconi said. “We understand the passengers from their perspective, but we did the right thing in this situation.” The 72 bus route replaced the 76, which was retired after a bus on that route collided with a Via train at the nearby Transitway crossing on Sept. 18, 2013, killing six people. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is still investigating that incident but put out safety bulletins in September advising OC Transpo to pay attention to the speeds at which bus operators are travelling and also the potential distraction posed by a video screen placed above drivers that shows a view of the upper floor of double deckers.

The bus driver and Via Rail are not considered at fault for incident that saw a rail crossing gate come down onto a double-decker bus on Fallowfield Road.

game warm-up, and smacking their sticks on the ice and boards as members of the Forces were introduced before and during breaks in the action. Senators owner Eugene Melnyk and season ticket holders donated many of the tickets to the members of the Forces, and a good number brought family along for the game versus the Winnipeg Jets. Among the sharpest uniforms in the stands were worn by cadets from the Royal Military College in Kingston. “It’s always nice to see people care for us,” said officer cadet J. F. Lizee, one of about 60 cadets who rode in buses to the game. Lizee, who is in his fourth and final year studying to become an electrical engineer, wore a dark blue uniform

with gold epaulettes and buttons with red piping that stood out in the crowd. “It’s a great experience,” he said, adding it was his first Sens game. Lt.-Col. Shawn Luckhurst had a much shorter jaunt to the rink, as he’s based at Shirley’s Bay, on the edge of Kanata. He said the appreciation night is a morale booster for all members of the Armed Forces. “Certainly we love the support of the Canadian people,” Luckhurst said, adding that he’s seen that support in a visible way since the death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo on Oct. 22 at the National War Memorial. “Flowers keep turning up at the war memorial,” he said. On the ice, a win by a Canadian team was guaranteed. The game went to a shootout before the Jets clinched two points in the standings.

Audrey shed new light on value, beauty of family kitchen

y sister Audrey, was the one I always went to if I needed the answer to a question. Mother once said she was “wiser beyond her years,” whatever that meant. All I knew was that she could pretty well satisfy my curiosity on just about any subject. And so it was that one day, after spending a glorious afternoon at my little friend Joyce Francis’s house, I asked Audrey why we never used our parlour. Everything we did, from eating, to playing games, to just sitting around doing our own thing, we were always in the kitchen. “First of all” she said, without giving it more than a few seconds thought, “the parlour is too small to hold all of us, there is no big table there, and there is only one horse-hair-filled settee and a couple twig chairs to sit on, and besides we close it up when winter comes because there is no way to get heat into the room”. She paused for only a few seconds, “and besides, our kitchen is the nicest room in the house, and certainly the warmest.” Well, that all made perfect sense to me, and I began to see our kitchen in a different light. Everything we needed, other than the beds we slept in, was in that big kitchen, and I looked around and for the first time, really saw the room for what it was. This was where our food was prepared for our meals. Mother’s bake table was beside the back door, close to a shelf Father had put up, covered securely with oilcloth where dishes were washed. There was no sink in the kitchen, but a small pump had been anchored to this shelf, which only rarely produced a dribble. This made us go out to the pump in the yard whenever we needed water, which seemed to me to merit a continuous trip with the granite pail, keeping the reservoir full, bath water on Saturday nights, wash water for Mondays. Two small pails were continually replenished for hand-washing on the bench by the back door, and one on the oil-cloth covered shelf for drinking and cooking. On the back wall beside the summer kitchen door was the wood box, close to the Findlay Oval. Standing behind the cook stove was a three-sided tin affair which was there to supposedly keep the heat of the stove from setting the wall on fire, and burning the place to the ground. And there was the door leading to Mother and Father’s small bedroom, a room which Mother once said was smaller than the broom closet she had in New York. The kitchen took a corner then, and there sat the big oak Barnett Ice Box, kitty-corner, which I thought gave the kitchen a nice touch. And then a long wall, broken up by a window looking out onto the grape arbour, held the old pine table, long enough to sit a dozen people. A bench, just as long as the table, sat under the window, and provided seating for the brothers at meal time. More chairs than we needed, sat around the

HIGHLIGHTS: - New this year is Tables to Dine for. A number of Ottawa’s hostesses ‘extraordinaires’ and local businesses, known for their flair and creativity, will showcase their exquisite holiday table settings at the Orange Art Gallery located in the evolving and popular City Centre area.

Mary Cook’s Memories

rest of the table. This was the table that had more useful purposes than any other piece of furniture in the old log house. We ate at it, neighbours played euchre on it at the Saturday night house parties, we five children sat at it at night with two coal oil lamps, one at each end. Mother wrote in her diaries there, Audrey and I worked our way through Eaton’s catalogue, and my three brothers carved, played cards, whittled, and yes, fought like tigers. A flat pine door, which was never opened, led to the back room upstairs, whose only purpose it seemed to me was to offer me a smooth surface to draw on with stubs of chalk, and with orders that it had to be washed off when I was finished. Another flat wall held Mother’s bake cupboard, an invention I thought was right up there with electric lights, and a real bathtub. This cupboard had a place for flour which seemed to be suspended from somewhere inside, and a door affair which could be rolled up like a wad of paper, vanishing into goodness knows where when she needed something out of the doors. Topping off the whole elegance of this cupboard was a white enameled surface that could be pulled out to make the work surface larger. I thought that cupboard was one of the best pieces of furniture in the entire house. Like every other kitchen I ever went into in Northcote, there was a creton couch, close to the stove. It served as a bed for my sister Audrey and me when we had company and had to give up ours. It was too narrow to sleep sideby-side, so we had to sleep end-to-end, which didn’t please either of us one bit. It would have made sense for Father to have his noon nap on the couch, but he preferred an old rocking chair, that no one sat in but him. Wainscoting circled the kitchen, and the only other window looked out onto the side yard with a ledge wide enough where Mother could put her geranium pots when she brought them indoors in the fall. Braided mats of every shape and size covered the kitchen floor in the winter. My sister Audrey was right – again. The kitchen was the nicest room in that old log house. And certainly the room that got the most use. It was a place for family fun, a place to fill our bellies, a room where neighbours were greeted, and where the big granite tea pot was always on the back of the stove. There was a coziness there, even on the coldest night, and at a very young age, I knew that the warmth I felt in that old kitchen didn’t come from the Findlay Oval alone.

Visitors will enjoy not only the stunning Tables to Dine for settings, but also local contemporary art displayed in five masterfully renovated gallery rooms. And a raffle winner will be the proud owner of an original artwork by Gayle Kells.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years WHAT Is FOrEvEr CHEO? Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000 from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million. Moving forward 80 percent of the interest generated from this fund will be invested in medical equipment, research and hospital programs at CHEO. The remaining 20 percent will be reinvested to allow the fund to continue to grow. In 25 years $6.4 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $1.6 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years $15 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4 million. In 100 years $42.2 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $10.6 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $15.2 million. R0012962991

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our children, youth and families deserve to always have excellent health care, to benefit from lifesaving research and be provided with the support programs to live happy and healthy lives now and forever.

The impacT of mr. cochraneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generous gifT is probably beyond whaT he could have even imagined when he made iT over 30 years ago.

When you leave a gift in your Will to CHEO you have the option of designating it to address immediate needs within the Hospital, the research Institute or the Forever CHEO Endowment Fund. This fund will preserve the full amount of your gift and disperse the interest to CHEO annually. since the fund will live on in perpetuity, so will your gift to future generations of children at CHEO. This is a way to leave a permanent and meaningful mark on your community.

RedBlacks re-evaluate after disappointing first season Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Sports - Despite a disappointing inaugural season that saw the Ottawa RedBlacks win just two of 18 games, the team’s general manager says there is a bright side. “The obvious thing to everybody has ... been where we’re at with wins and losses, which none of us are very happy with,” Marcel Desjardins said during a press conference held after players packed up their gear in their locker room at TD Place on Nov. 9, marking the beginning of the off season for the team. The RedBlacks suffered a 23-5 defeat in its final game against the Toronto Argonauts on Friday, Nov. 7. Yet, even as the team began racking up loss after loss this season, players and coaches never stopped working hard, Desjardins said. “Every time we came onto the field we were committed to try and win the game,” he said. Many on the team, including Desjardins, are not experienced at losing. “Within the context of the 24 (to) 48 hours after a game, you just want to rip the walls down, but you know what? You focus on what you need to focus on and you know that you’re going in the right direction,” he said. “That’s what’s encouraging. That’s what makes it fun to come to work every day, to find those solutions and those right steps to correct this.” Right steps may be the acquisition of free-agent players, more national players, receivers and “difference

makers across the board,” including those who can dominate on the field, Desjardins said. Free agents in the Canadian Football League have likely taken note this season of the RedBlacks’ playing environment, including the tremendous support shown by fans, as well as the treatment of players and the commitment shown by owners. “I think they have a sense competing against us that we do put our best foot forward every time,” Desjardins said. Head coach Rick Campbell said he shares Desjardins’ philosophy that they need talented people to win, and echoed the attractive qualities of the team. “We’re not a veteran team saddled with a bunch of contracts that are bloated or anything like that.” With the off season now underway, everything from the coaching staff to players to team “processes” will be reevaluated and any necessary corrections will be made, Desjardins said, but added it is too soon to talk about signings or re-signings of players. While Campbell sang quarterback Henry Burris’ praises, noting his speed, his arm, leadership and his penchant for being a team player, Burris said the stinging losses have prompted him to look in the mirror. “Unfortunately, offensively, that’s the part that hit me the hardest,” said the 39-year-old, who is used to being on top-echelon offensive lines. “We only averaged what? Nineteen points a game.” See RedBlacks, page 53

Ottawa RedBlacks quarterback Henry Burris said fans were just one of the highlights this season. However, he expressed disappointment over the team’s offensive performance.

The Ottawa 67’s practise on Nov. 5 at the Fred Barrett Arena in Findlay Creek. The Ontario Hockey League team was forced to postpone home games against the Oshawa Generals last Friday and the North Bay Battalion on Sunday and practise out of the south Ottawa arena due to an ice-making equipment malfunction that caused the ice to melt at TD Place, the team said in a statement on Nov. 3. The reconstruction and repainting of the ice surface was expected to take several days.

RedBlacks season a youth movement Continued from page 51

The key is less about changing strategies and more about allowing players to plug away on what they already know “because if you start changing too much then the growing process starts all over again,” he said, adding it’s sometimes necessary to keep things simple and let the guys “play fast.” Some approaches were changed during the season “and that bit us in the rear end,” said Burris. The team’s offence was off to a great start during the first few games, but then its output suffered when players like Kierrie Johnson and Chevon Walker were sidelined with injuries. “We were already young before injuries and then we get younger bringing the guys off planes and then the next day they’re suiting up and starting,” he said. The team this season was characterized by young players as well as key veterans who showed their dedication alongside hard-working staff and coaches, Desjardins and Campbell said. Many of those young players learned on the job, “in the fire, in the heat of battle,” said Burris, and they were able to gain a lot of valuable

experience this way. “But it’s tough ... especially when you have to ask for a team, pretty much an entire corps of young players, to be successful when they’re learning as they go,” he said. The depth of Canadian talent on the team is very good, as well as young, Campbell said. “We were able to provide opportunities to players like (defensive linemen) Zack Evans and Justin Capicciotti who had been in the CFL but hadn’t been playing on a regular basis,” he said. “And they came in here and proved that they could play.” Campbell pointed to rookie linebacker Antoine Pruneau for not only meeting challenges but going after them, and for consistently playing every game. “The more guys you have like that the better,” he said. While the coach admitted this season was tougher than he anticipated, he said he’s still glad he signed up. “We could have won a few more games. We let a few get away, which bothers me a lot, but this process – I wouldn’t trade it for anything. “We’ll keep working at this thing, and we’re close,” Campbell said. “If we all hang in this thing together there’s going to be a lot of good days ahead.”

Suspect arrested after shooting in Barrhaven Case connected to city’s drug trade: police Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - The timing of a targeted noon-hour gang-related shooting that spooked a Barrhaven residential neighbourhood is working in the favour of Ottawa police, who were able to arrest their prime suspect in the case within hours of the violent incident. “We were fortunate,” said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the Ottawa police guns and gangs section and Direct Action Response Team officers, who monitor street-gang activity. “Obvi-

ously, time of day was on our side and people were out doing whatever it was they were out doing and happened to witness this.” Investigators are still piecing together eye witness statements and evidence in the city’s 39th shooting outside a home in the 100-block of Willow Creek Circle, near Prince of Wales Drive and Woodroffe Avenue, around noon on Nov. 5. Witnesses said three shots were fired into the air as a warning to a young person living with his family in a nearby home. No one was injured in the incident. The shooting is considered a targeted street gang-related attack tied to the city’s drug trade. “Whether it was a (drug) debt, we’re not sure, but

we’ve got drugs involved,” said Bryden. The shots were accompanied by verbal threats, which Bryden said were made during or shortly after the shooting, but he did not know the details of what was said, “whether it was, ‘I’m going to kill you,’ or whatever, but it was something along those lines, I would suspect.’” The man believed by police to have fired those rounds then left the scene in a silver car. No weapon or spent bullet casings have been recovered. “We have no forensic evidence, no physical evidence to support the shooting at this point,” Bryden said. “The investigators believe that a revolver was used, which obviously does not discard shell casings.” The section head credited

An Ottawa man is facing several criminal charges in connection with a shooting on Willow Creek Circle on Nov. 5. No one was injured in the incident, which investigators say is gang-related and connected to the city’s drug trade. his DART officers for making an arrest at 9 p.m. on Nov. 5, just hours after the shooting, “It’s a combination of a few

things – the complexity of the investigation, how comprehensive it was, how well the interviews were done, the

photo lineups, (and) everything else that was done in the investigation,” Bryden said.

Health Canada assesses Natural Health Products (NHPs) for their safety, efficacy and quality before they are authorized for sale in Canada. In assessing NHPs, Health Canada looks at the information provided by the applicant to determine whether the product formula is safe and the health benefit claims are reasonable for the proposed ingredients and dosage amounts. Health Canada assesses any risks which the product may pose, for example, when combining the NHP with other NHPs, prescription drugs or foods, or when the product is used by certain consumers such as pregnant or breast feeding women. Health Canada’s assessment assures that appropriate warnings and cautions appear on the product label so that consumers can make informed choices. Health Canada also examines the practices and controls which are applied in the manufacture and processing of the NHPs to ensure that the products are of high quality (e.g. controls to prevent product contamination or a mistake involving use of an incorrect ingredient). How do I know which products are safe? Canadians can identify NHPs that have been licensed for sale by Health Canada by looking for the eight-digit Natural Product Number (NPN) or Homeopathic Medicine Number (DIN-HM) on the label. A NPN or DIN-HM on a label means that the product has been authorized for sale in Canada and is safe and effective when used in accordance with the instructions on the label. Disclaimer: We take pride in our products and want to ensure you receive the best quality and experience when shopping with us. All products stocked at Kardish have an NPN or DIN-HM number on the label so you can be assured that anything you purchase with us is safe for use based on the standards set by Health Canada.

Apply to join city boards, committees Recruitment now open for 17 municipal advisory or decision-making bodies Staff

News - Want to take your community advocacy to the next level? The city is currently recruiting people to sit on volunteer committees and boards. The city’s five citizen advisory groups are composed of members of the public who advise on issues facing city council. There are also citizen member positions on city boards, where, alongside city councillors, volunteer members vote on recommendations to city council. Positions are also available on conservation authority boards, the built heritage subcommittee and the committee of adjustment. More information about becoming a board or committee member will be presented at a public information session on Thursday, Nov.

13 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the lobby of Mary Pitt Centre, 100 Constellation Cres. Advisory committee members can claim expenses including childcare, mileage, parking and transit fares. Board and committee members must be 18 years or older and cannot be employed by the City of Ottawa. The deadline to apply is Thursday, Nov. 27 at 4:30 p.m. More information is available at ottawa.ca or by emailing committees@ottawa. ca. Aside from the library board, which must be appointed 60 days after council is sworn in Dec. 1, board and committee members will be appointed by the end of February. In 2012, city council slashed the number of citizen advisory groups at city hall from 15 to five. The move also shifted the built heritage advisory committee (OBHAC) from an advisory group to a subcommittee of planning committee, mostly composed of councillors. At the time, less than half of the work done by the advisory committees resulted in direct recommendations or advice to city council or

its standing committees and restructuring the advisory groups was aimed at making them more effective. The move was also aimed at saving $190,000 annually. After the change, advisory committees were to hold official meetings four times a year, however, additional informal meetings can be scheduled. Positions are available on the following committees and boards: • Transit commission (four members) • Board of health (five members) • Library board (five to eight members) • Police services Board (one member) • Built heritage subcommittee (three members) • Committee of adjustment (15 members)

Over the past five years, the number of women reporting technological abuse at the centre has become more common, said Vivienne. It includes cyber stalking and bullying, threats and harassment, sexual, emotional and verbal abuse. “This is going to get worse and worse,” she said. “The more technology there is out there the more it’s go-

Imagine having every move tracked, every conversation recorded, and being bombarded with negative and harmful messaging at any moment. As technology becomes smarter, so too do abusers, say counsellors working at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. “We’ve seen more and more of it. For example, using cell phones with GPS systems to track where the woman is,” said Vivienne, a counsellor in the resource centre’s Violence Against Women (VAW) program. No last names are used to protect those working at the resource centre. Home security systems that use cameras and smart phones become 247 monitoring devices. “That’s always good in a healthy relationship, but can you imagine that in the hands of an abuser?” Vivienne asked. “He watches the woman; who she’s with, all the movements.” Clients have found peel-and-stick cameras placed around their house and bugs in the landlines, said Vivienne. The various systems are used to give an abuser more control over his partner or ex-partner; the ability to monitor ev-

Ottawa South News - Thursday, November 13, 2014

‘They live in fear constantly’: counsellor Digital abuse is when technology is used to gain and maintain control over a partner or ex-partner. It is emotional, physical and psychological, said Maureen, a counsellor who works with children in the resource centre’s VAW program. Many abusers give their child a smartphone and use that to keep tabs on what happens when the child is with the mother. “Some will send messages through the children, putting the child in the middle,” said Maureen. “They’ll use the kids – ask ‘where are you? Where’s mom? Is mom there with a man?’” added Vivienne. “Then they know where mom is whenever the kids are with mom.” Online, cyber bullying isn’t something only teens and youth have to deal with; abusers stalk their victims’ social media accounts, post and spread rumours, and send threatening messages. Text messaging also becomes a form of control and the constant bombardment is instant. “We’re not just talking about one or two texts, we’re talking about hundreds,” said Maureen.

“They live in fear constantly,” said Vivienne. “I’ve had women come in and they cannot even speak; they are so overwhelmed. “We’re busy enough just texting in a healthy situation … but to have someone like this do it to you all the time … swearing at you … it really has a huge impact. They tell me they can hear his voice, can hear the tone.” And it’s not always as easy as turning the phone off or disconnecting from technology. When children are involved and the parties need to talk about access, it can get complicated. “If the court says you have to communicate for the sake of the children … (abusers are) able to get around it by saying ‘I need to talk about the kids,’” said Maureen. This can often leave women feeling like they have no course of action available to them. So what can be done? Creating a safety plan can help, said Maureen. “There’s a lot of things women can do themselves.” If it’s possible, change phone numbers, change phones and screen calls from unknown numbers.

If that isn’t an option, there are other steps people can take, she said. When children are in the mother’s care, she has a right to hold on to and monitor any cell phones. Keep track of and save all abusive, harassing and inappropriate voicemails and texts. Have a friend screen any incoming messages. Make sure phones are password protected. Check to ensure the satellite symbol is not flashing, that programs do not start running when the phone is turned on and that the battery life isn’t shorter than normal – those signs can all mean a cell is being tracked. Online, change passwords regularly and keep them private. Edit privacy settings on social media sites and applications so only people that have been approved can see any posts. Check the location settings on smartphone applications and turn off the GPS tracker for any apps that don’t need it. Women can also request a sweep of their home to locate any recording or monitoring devices. Ottawa police and Ottawa Victim Services both of-

fer this service, said Vivienne. It is possible to get help. “If you live in fear you’re giving them exactly what they want,” said Vivienne. “Take your power back and just live well. That’s what (abusers) hate, so live well.” The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre has a large VAW program that helps women living in West Carleton, Kanata, Goulbourn, Rideau, Nepean, Osgoode and Bay Resources

Zoe is a sweet little Boston terrier/French bulldog mix who wants nothing more than to find a forever companion to cuddle up to. This social pooch is more of a people-person and likes the company of human companions more than canine friends. She is a petite, expressive gal who enjoys being active and would love an owner who can give her plenty of exercise and affection. Zoe is looking to be the only four-legged friend snuggled up on your couch so a single-animal home is best for her. She has a lot of love to give and will make a loyal friend for years to come. For more information on Zoe and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Jaspurr has been waiting patiently for almost three months at the Ottawa Humane Society for the right family to discover what a great cat he is. He is five years old, and while his human counterparts (in cat years!) are often just starting a family or buying a first home, Jaspurr is considered by many to be well past his prime. Despite the fact that many cats today will live to celebrate their 20th birthdays and beyond, and many dogs will live well into their teens, pets are often considered too old when they’re barely out of adolescence. Sadly, older pets often languish longer at shelters while their bouncy young counterparts are frequently whisked off to forever homes, besotting adopters with their cute kitten looks and playful puppy ways. But the reality is, these older friends are a shelter’s best kept secret — and the OHS wants to tell you why! 1. What you see is what you get. Shelter staff can usually tell you a lot more about the older pets in their care, which means you can make sure you find the right match for your family. You also won’t be surprised by how big that puppy might get or by how much exercise he’ll need!

Senior Pets: An old friend is a good friend

2. Older pets have manners. Unlike kittens and puppies, many grown-up pets have spent years living with a family and being socialized to life with humans. Some have already received obedience training or know a few simple commands! 3. They’re not a 24-7 job. Mature pets don’t require the constant monitoring that puppies and kittens do, leaving you with more freedom to do your own thing. If you have young children, or just value your “me time,” this is definitely a bonus. 4. No expensive carpet cleaning bills! Older pets are often already housetrained; it usually just takes a few days to help them learn the toileting regime in their new home. 5. You get to sleep. All night. Little kitties love to hunt pipe cleaners at night, and little puppies aren’t great at holding it ‘til morning. The only thing an older pet might wake you with is his contented snoring! 6. Your shoes and drapes are safe. You won’t see your mature pet scaling your silk curtains or chewing on your Manolo Blahniks—most of these guys are past that. 7. You can teach an old dog (and cat) new tricks! Adult animals are quick learners and focus

more easily than their junior friends. The OHS offers obedience training for adult dogs—visit www.ottawahumane.ca for details! 8. Couch potato? He won’t judge you—he’ll join in. In fact, your mature pet will enjoy having more lap-time while you’re snoozing in front of Netflix on a Friday night. And while mature pets still need play and exercise, they usually won’t demand endless walks around the block. 9. You can make the commitment. A lot can happen in 20 years, and sometimes, we just can’t responsibly commit to a pet with that lifespan. But maybe you have five or 10 years to give to a pet in need. You can still enjoy the tremendous benefits of pet companionship. The level of commitment is the same but not for as long. 10. You can be a hero to a deserving dog or cat. The truth is, older pets are simply harder to place. You can take pride in knowing that you have given a pet a wonderful home by opening your home and heart to them. For the month of November, the OHS is celebrating mature pets. Open your home and heart to an older pet in need. Read more at www. ottawahumane.ca.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, containing your emotions may be challenging this week. Exciting events begin to unfold, so enjoy them as much as possible. Enlist some friends to join the fun.

Libra, it is impossible to postpone a commitment any longer. It may not seem like the right time just yet, but you need to forge ahead anyway and handle things as they come.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Practice discretion this week, Taurus. You do not know how a particular situation will unfold, so it is better to stay neutral until the entire situation settles. Then you can take action.

It is easy to feel burnt out before you achieve a goal, Scorpio. You just need to learn how to pace yourself a little better and to ignore distractions that result in delays.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Some colleagues may want to goof off all week long and get nothing accomplished, Gemini. But you have other goals and know some hard work now means fun later.

Express your creativity this week, Sagittarius. You have long felt the desire to display this other side, and now is a great time to do so. Encourage others to do the same.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

It is time for you to step up and take the reins, Cancer. Your leadership skills have long been an asset, and it’s time to put them to use for the greater good.

Capricorn, express your emotions this week even if you think your ideas will not garner much support. Exercise diplomacy, as you do not want to engage in any conflicts.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, an upcoming adventure has you brimming with excitement. Some people are drawn to your vigor, while others are a little uncomfortable.

You may explore different interests and hobbies this week only to find that nothing seems to be the right fit, Aquarius. Do not let it get you down. You will find the answer.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Downplay your authority this week, Virgo. Newcomers to your place of employment will feel more comfortable around you if they don’t have to worry about rank.

Don’t squander money on a lavish purchase this week, Pisces. There are better ways to spend your money in the coming weeks.

You compared numerous listings online for a ‘fixer upper’. And managed NOT to be outbid on a great home. Why not compare home insurance rates online, too?
