Findlay Creek has no public elementary school, forcing the board to bus students outside the community to schools such as Elizabeth Park Public School.

Elizabeth Park Public is slated to close in 2017, as the building’s landlord, the Department of National Defence will not renew the lease.

Entertainment - An annual fundraising concert will help feed families this Christmas.

The 22nd-annual Alta Vista Carol Sing concert will take place on Dec. 8 at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church.

Organizer Francine Brisebois is one of the key individuals involved in the coordination of this event, and said for the past two decades, the objective of the concert hasn’t changed.

Goodwill donations from the free event go directly to the Heron Emergency Food Centre, she said, while the magic of the Christmas season is shared between several different musical groups and the audience.

“It puts everyone into a Christmas spirit,” she said of the long-running musical series.

“At the same time, we’ll be able to help the less fortunate.”

The Christmas concert includes a myriad of different musical groups, including the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church Choir, the Kanata Choral Society, the Grade 8 and 10 choir from De La Salle ,the University of Ottawa Medical Choir, The Do No Harmonics, the Ottawa Wind Ensemble, and tenor soloists Dr. Fraser Rubens – a heart surgeon – and his son Zachary.

It just goes to show, said Brisebois, the help of others is needed and appreciated to make the event a success.

“We’re very fortunate to have such a good mix of entertainers,” she said.

Above, Bateman walks across a large map of Canada at Robert Bateman Public School, demonstrating to the students the vastness of the world’s landscape.

News - The Findlay Creek Community Association is mounting a letter writing campaign to the Ministry of Education in protest of recent changes to the Ottawa public school board’s capital priority list.

At an Oct. 22 meeting, the board approved a motion put forward by trustee Donna Blackburn prioritizing capital projects that have gone through accommodation reviews.

The change in ranking meant a new

school for Findlay Creek sank from fifth to eighth place, and pushed requests for a new elementary school in the Barrhaven suburb of Half Moon Bay and a rebuild of Broadview Avenue Public School to the top of the wish list.

Sumana Jana, who oversees the school board file for the Findlay Creek Community Association, said there is no real procedure in place for trustees to use when ranking a board’s capital priorities.

“It comes down to politics, and using children as pawns,” she said. “It’s extremely frustrating to us. We’re not

With a bilingual concert, the event will cater to everyone who attends no matter their religion or beliefs, Brisebois added, as well as fill in the generational gaps.

“This is a huge advantage for the people who are participating,” she said.

“There will be different age groups and generations at the concert, but they’ll be united under one objective, which is to share in the joy of music and the holiday spirit.”

“Whatever differences we have,

we have music that brings people together.”

Brisebois said they have raised nearly $4,000 towards the Heron Emergency Food Centre over the past number of years.

It’s important to note no one needs to feel obligated to make a large donation, she said.

“If you can afford $5, then donate $5,” she said.

“It all goes back to the food bank.”

The organization has always been the event’s beneficiary, Brisebois added. The concert starts at 3 p.m.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe it should have been put on the list, because with Elizabeth Park closing, we need another school for the students,â&#x20AC;? Jana said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the funding now for the school, then it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be ready until 2017. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a predicament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since we are at eighth place, we might as well be off the list,â&#x20AC;? said Jana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only avenue we can take right now is doing a lot of shouting and writing letters to the ministry.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the ministry now to look at every case.â&#x20AC;?

BLACKBURNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MOTION

Blackburn proposed a similar motion to amend the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital priority list rankings at an Oct. 1 committee of the whole meeting that put forward a list of schools that had accommodation reviews or â&#x20AC;&#x153;similar studiesâ&#x20AC;? completed. It was defeated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the spirit of the motion got lost in that discussion,â&#x20AC;? she said,

adding she simply wanted to ensure the board followed a process when choosing priorities for the wish list set to go to the Ministry of Education on Oct. 31.

OrlĂŠans and Cumberland trustee John Shea said the changes to the capital priority list ranking left him speechless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we had closed this issue at committee of the whole,â&#x20AC;? he said, calling the last-minute move unfair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not transparent,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a list that we had developed with the criteria staff had chosen. Then we completely changed that with no notice to the public. No one from OrlĂŠans or Findlay Creek was present.â&#x20AC;?

Six trustees voted in favour of the amendment, five opposed and one abstained.

Mark Fisher, trustee for much of south Ottawa, said only looking at accommodation reviews to compile the list doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take into account other factors that can make projects a priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Staff have dozens of criteria they look at,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pressures of fullday kindergarten, class sizes and location are just a few. By limiting the list to accommodation reviews, we only have a very narrow view.â&#x20AC;?

While Fisher said he supports a new school in Half Moon Bay, he said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like politicking to get it farther up the list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as I am concerned, all the

projects are number one and they all have strong business cases,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for me to tell residents to trust in the process when things like this happen.â&#x20AC;?

While the new list allows for staff to draft a special letter in support of a Findlay Creek that will be circulated to Ottawa area MPPs, Fisher said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to explain to his constituents why the project dropped three spots on the list for no apparent reason.

Fisher added the site for a new school in Findlay Creek has already been paid for and has servicing. The board voted in favour of purchasing land in Half Moon Bay the same night it was put to the top of the list.

The new list in order of priority is: â&#x20AC;˘ New school for Half Moon Bay: 13.65 million â&#x20AC;˘ Broadview Avenue Public School rebuild: $17.8 million â&#x20AC;˘ West Carleton Secondary School addition: $6.4 million â&#x20AC;˘ New Stittsville Secondary School: $36.1 million â&#x20AC;˘ AY Jackson Secondary School addition: $6.4 million â&#x20AC;˘ Viscount Alexander Public School addition: $2.43 million â&#x20AC;˘ New Avalon II Elementary School: $13.65 million â&#x20AC;˘ New Findlay Creek Elementary School: $13.65 million With files from Jennifer McIntosh

Bringing the beat in for breast cancer February event features Dancing With the Stars celebrity Derek Hough Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

Community - It’s time to show off some dancing moves, Ottawa.

Bust a Move Ottawa is set to get Ottawa grooving on Feb. 22, while raising funds for breast cancer initiatives.

And to top it off, participants in the event will learn a few good moves from one of the very best – Dancing With the Stars celebrity Derek Hough.

Bust a Move Ottawa, a one-day, high-energy fitness and fundraising fiesta, is primarily designed to inspire women and men to celebrate and fight for breast health, according to Bust a Move.

Hough will show off a few of his moves as he helps participants move through an array of dance and exercise drills during the event.

“I am thrilled to be heading to Ottawa in February and can’t wait to be part of Bust a Move Ottawa and meet all the participants who have

worked so hard to earn their spot on the floor,” said Hough in a statement.

“The work you are doing to improve the lives of those living with cancer is incredible – see you in February.”

Organizers are hoping to attract 500 dancers to the event, where every participant must raise a minimum of $1,000.

Although that amount may seem like a lot, there is a reason behind it, according to Bust a Move.

“To ensure we have the best breast health services available to people fighting breast cancer in our region, we need to set the fundraising bar high, yet attainable,” they write on the website.

“With the fundraising tips, success stories and other tools we’ll provide, we know participants will raise at least $1,000.”

FUNDRAISING GOAL

The goal is to raise at least $500,000 towards the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

Since its Ottawa debut in March 2012, Bust a Move has raised more than half a million dollars for breast health initiatives in the region. All of the funds raised by participants remain in the community to improve regional cancer services.

“Proceeds from Bust a Move for Breast Health will be used to ad-

vance breast health services in our region,” according to the website.

“Funds from the 2014 event will be invested in projects that will ensure local residents have the best care close to home, shorter wait times for diagnosis and treatment, access to research and new therapies and overall improved quality of life.”

Registration costs $25 for the event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Ottawa Athletic Centre on Lancaster Road.

Those interested can sign up as an individual or as a team. Hough is an Emmy-award winning professional dancer, who is the only fourtime champion in franchise history on the hit ABC show, Dancing With the Stars. He started dancing in his hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah, at the age of 11.

One year later, he moved to London to live and train with renowned dancing coaches and attended a performing arts school where he studied theatre, music and dance.

Hough will also be seen in a starring role for director Duane Adler and producer Robert Cort in Make Your Move, which hits theatres March 2014.

Hough also performed in London’s west end where he starred as the male lead in a stage version of Footloose.

Queensway Carleton to expand acute care for elderly patients Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The city’s first acute care unit for the elderly will be the last piece of the puzzle that makes up geriatric care at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, said CEO Tom Schonberg.

The Champlain Local Health Integration Network – the health authority that doles out funding to hospitals in eastern Ontario – recently improved the hospital’s plan for what’s being dubbed as the ACE unit, with 34 beds.

It should open in the next two years.

Schonberg said expanded

care for the elderly was a cornerstone of the hospital’s recent expansion.

He said the space for the ACE unit has already been shelled out.

“Now we just need to fill it with equipment and staff,” Schonberg said.

The plan is to offer a collaborative approach to acute care, which would address concerns over patients with multiple conditions and focus on keeping seniors mobile.

Cathie Gray, a clinical nurse who specializes in geriatrics, said patients can lose five per cent of the muscle mass during a typical hospital stay.

“Often a patient will come

in with something like pneumonia, which will destabilize their other conditions,” Gray said.

Schonberg added he’s heard stories of people coming into hospital able to use a walker and coming out seven days later being unable to walk at all.

“The statistics are shocking,” he said.

The unit focused on geriatric care has received the seal of approval from Dr. Samir Sinha, a Toronto geriatric doctor who heads up Mount Sinai – the only hospital in the province with a senior-centred acute care unit.

Gray said the new unit at the QCH will focus on patient

release as soon as they are admitted.

with patients and nursing staff will connect with the community care access centre to put resources in place so patients

can head home sooner.

“We want the support to be there so they don’t return to hospital,” Schonberg said.

Aside from collaborative staff teams, there will be a dining room to encourage socialization. The unit is modeled on recommendations from the Living Longer, Living Well report commissioned by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Schonberg said it’s important for the hospital to look at health care as the population ages.

“The group of 85 years and older is the fastest growing (population segment) right now,” Schonberg said “Our provincial riding has one of

The project is considered “minor” with a price tag coming in at less than $10 million.

Schonberg said the care won’t duplicate the work of Bruyère Continuing Care, which treats chronic conditions – but does not provide acute care.

“Aside from offering a service for seniors, we are hoping to partner with the University of Ottawa to use the unit as a teaching tool,” he said.

Schonberg said he hopes to get approval from the ministry of health in the next six months and be able to open the centre in two years.

Riverside South Community Association needs community’s help Scott Hodge RSCA president

News - The Riverside South Community Association will be holding its annual general meeting on Thursday, Nov. 21.

The AGM is an opportunity for the RSCA to meet with residents and highlight the many successes that have been achieved this past year with the help of residents volunteering their time at events.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the RSCA and without residents stepping to help out, community events will not happen. The AGM also sees the election of a new board of directors and start the transition to a new executive for the upcoming year.

The AGM event kicks off with a community open house at 6:30 p.m. at the Rideauview Community Centre at 4310 Shoreline Dr. (at Spratt Road). There will be a number of organizations participating including staff from various from City of Ottawa departments attending representing a number of city services including Traffic Management, OC Transpo, Ottawa Police Service, by-law services, and public health, and other organizations such as the Ottawa International Airport and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority.

The AGM follows the open house at 7:35 p.m. Looking ahead however, finding sufficient volunteers to undertake the Association’s planned activities remains a considerable challenge for the RSCA. An inability to attract suf-

ficient volunteers has led the RSCA to reduce the number of events we used to host, and without new volunteers to help organize and run our social events, the RSCA will have to look at narrowing our activities further. The RSCA’s next community event will be the annual Breakfast with Santa on Saturday, Nov. 30.

Please consult the association’s website at www.riversidesouth.org for more information. Without this financial support, the community centre would not be able to include as many activities – such as playing Nintendo Wii and Xbox, ping-pong, foosball, basketball, or watch movies or just listen to music – and they would need to charge an entrance fee each week.

This year, the RSCA also faces the challenge where some long time volunteers are stepping down from the executive we need other resi-

dents to get involved and help lead the Association. If you are interested in volunteering your time and participating on the executive but do not want with the planning, preparation and running events, then this is for you. The RSCA needs the involvement and support from residents to achieve its mission. For more information on how you can help support the RSCA and get involved as a volunteer, check out their website at www.riversidesouth.org or contact the RSCA at info@ riversidesouth.org.

If you live outside Riverside South, please consider contacting your local community association and offering your time and support, and volunteering at an upcoming event. Whether you can offer a couple of hours on one day or help out over a longer period of time as a member of the executive, we all benefit when residents like you step up.

Lest we forget

O

n the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month the city came to a halt as citizens remembered those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our

country.

But sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to remember.

When attempting to describe the importance of Remembrance Day, the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;lest we forgetâ&#x20AC;? often cross our lips, emerging as an almost secular amen to punctuate the ceremonies held at schools, cenotaphs and legions.

The meaning of Remembrance Day is passed down from generation to generation in the form of a history lesson.

We learn more than 600,000 Canadian soldiers fought in the First World War and one in 10 did not return. The last known Canadian veteran who served in the First World War died in 2010.

One million Canadian soldiers fought in the Second World War â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than 46,000 did not survive.

Twenty six thousand Canadians participated in the Korean War, with 516 killed, and another 121 soldiers have been killed in peacekeeping missions.

In our most recent conflict, 157 soldiers were killed fighting in Afghanistan.

Our loss transcends mere numbers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as stark and

horrifying as they are.

These are sons and daughters, our fathers and mothers, our brothers and sisters, our next-door neighbours.

They were real people, who carried hope for the present, regrets from the past and dreams for the future.

And when they died, they left holes in our hearts and voids in families across the country.

Every year, we gather and promise to never forget them or their sacrifice.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a difficult promise to make.

Remembering requires action, a commitment to learn the lessons of history taught to us by conflicts past.

Forgetting is so much easier, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trap many of us fall into, instead focusing our attention on our personal hopes and dreams, while overlooking those who made that potential future possible.

The act of remembrance shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be optional or relegated to an annual ritual.

Remembrance Day is more than just facts and figures; it is part of our living past. It is the responsibility of each generation and every individual to keep the memory alive.

Lest we forget.

What we can learn from Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad melodrama

A

little while ago someone was writing about what a blessing it was, for Ottawa, to have a mayor who is boring â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, one who has no newsworthy bad habits. Sure enough, within days came the admission from Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor, Rob Ford, that he has indeed smoked crack cocaine.

From there, a story that had been a kind of lingering low-grade scandal everywhere but Toronto, exploded onto the world scene.

Everybody from the late night comedians to television shrinks had something to say.

(For the American newspaper U.S.A. Today, the relevant angle was that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ford was wearing a necktie featuring the logos of all 32 NFL teams while making his confession.â&#x20AC;? The newspaper ran a photo and helpfully added that: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although Toronto doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an NFL team, it has played host to one Buffalo Bills game in each of the past six seasons.â&#x20AC;? In journalism, as in life, it takes all kinds.)

In Toronto, Dr. Drew Pinsky, described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;addiction specialist and U.S. media personalityâ&#x20AC;? offered some insights that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad, considering that he admits to never having met the man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He clearly is suffering right now,â&#x20AC;? Pinsky told a Toronto radio station, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and that suffering can be managed and treated. He can have a

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town flourishing life again but he has to be willing to give up the alcohol.â&#x20AC;?

Pinsky spotted Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s several references to doing drugs while in a drunken stupor.

Drinking to the level of stupor â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not a normal relationship with alcohol,â&#x20AC;? Pinsky said, adding that â&#x20AC;&#x153;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drinking sufficiently to have consequences.â&#x20AC;?

Various sufferers will tell you that one of those possible consequences is getting involved in the drug culture. In sufficient quantities, drink loosens the inhibitions, impairs the judgment and makes the drinker less likely to avoid risky behaviour. (If you want a vivid illustration of the process, have a look at a recent book called Superdad, by Toronto journalist Christopher Shulgan.)

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, November 14, 2013

Toronto mayor concerns the effect of his behaviour on the city and its reputation. That is fine, but it is also valuable to think of the individual and other individuals like him.

Says Pinsky: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve to be maligned. He deserves the opportunity to go get help and take care of his medical condition, not work for awhile â&#x20AC;&#x201C; probably a month or so â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and really get with this and get going.â&#x20AC;?

While it is understandable that many people would like Ford to simply disappear, there would also be distinct advantages to having him stay in the public eye. Because what we have here is a unique teachable moment, as the modern saying goes.

Think of it this way: thousands of people in the Toronto area either have or will have problems with addiction â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to alcohol and other drugs. From the discussions that we see on the news media, some of the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters come from the group of people likely to come into contact with drug users and drug dealers.

They are at risk.

It could do these people a world of good to witness the public struggle of a man they have looked up to. If a man as powerful as Rob Ford can have difficulty dealing with alcohol and drugs, so can anyone. That is a lesson worth learning.

Equally important, those who admire the mayor will cheer for him to overcome his difficulties, and that may help them avoid difficulties of their own.

This is probably true also of those who, despite political differences, have come to a grudging sympathy for a fellow human being who is obviously in trouble.

It is true that watching a public figure, in full view, tackle addiction issues is uncomfortably close to watching a reality show on television.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of bad melodrama in this story.

But if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it takes, we should all tune in.

You ain’t seen nothing yet

t’s been a couple of weeks since the members of the Conservative Party and the parliamentary press gallery threw on their cowboy hats and convened in Calgary.

With all the news of the Senate and Rob Ford, the convention was big news for about a day – and it happened to be a day when most people were starting their Christmas shopping.

But we shouldn’t forget too quickly some of the promises reiterated that weekend, particularly by the prime minister.

For those of you who had better things to do on a Friday than watch a live feed of the prime minister, the speech was a good one. The prime minister was on his game. He was shining. In fact, as one pundit pointed out, “even his hair was shining.”

The speech was perfectly crafted to please party supporters – Harper slammed the opposition parties, skirted over anything of substance and zeroed in on his favourite wedge issues like the courts that have “blocked” Harper’s efforts at Senate reform (wrong) and, of course, those lazy public servants.

Harper reiterated plans to go after the bureaucracy of government. He vowed to find a way to dismiss underperforming civil servants and, of course, to bring their compensation and pen-

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse sions in line with those in the private sector.

Nevermind that a lot of public servants don’t make wages as high as their private sector counterparts – think scientists, psychologists and managers – nor that most jobs the Conservatives claim they

We’re all expected to live in a McDonald’s economy and be happy with that have “created” over the past five years have been part-time, minimum wage service jobs.

We’re all expected to live in a McDonald’s economy and be happy with that. And, rather than look for ways for all workers to have a decent pension at the end of their careers, the Conservatives are going to level the playing field by ensuring

any high-paying, salaried jobs are brought down to the lowest common denominator.

And in case you missed it, the Conservatives are the only party that actually care about children. Nevermind that one in five kids still live below the poverty line. Harper’s party is the only party that still believes “mom and dad” are best positioned to look after kids. In other words, there are no plans for a national childcare strategy.

That $100 per month you get for each kid under six? That’s supposed to be sufficient to allow you to give up your job and stay home with the kids. And for the rest – single parents, for example – well, they’re not going to vote Conservative anyway, are they?

Harper bragged about tax cuts and putting more money into the pockets of Canadians.

Apparently the average family of four has $3,000 more in their pockets since the Conservatives

took power, enough for four car payments. Don’t take this the wrong way, folks, but maybe we’d be better off leaving more money in the government coffers. For one thing, most of us are in debt up to our eyeballs (probably for those car payments we can’t actually afford).

Our infrastructure is crumbling around us – in all jurisdictions of government – and the population is aging, which means there are going to be ever fewer workers to support all those people on pensions for the next several decades. Despite what Harper says, I’m not sure another car is what we need right now.

But the Conservatives can solve all these problems by giving us more tax cuts, if only they weren’t such renegades from the West, if only they could get past the elite in Ottawa – you know, the establishment, like the civil service and those pesky journalists that attempt to hold the government to account daily? And yet, as one individual tweeted to Harper, “if you’ve been firmly in power for seven years in this town, you are, in fact, the elite.”

In other words, the only thing standing in Harper’s way of diminishing career jobs, maintaining child poverty and keeping us all in a credit-dependent economic bubble is Harper himself.

2013 Canadian Space Society Summit – Canada’s Space Economy The 2013 Canadian Space Summit is taking place in Ottawa on November 14 & 15, 2013. The Summit brings together professionals, academics, and enthusiasts to explore topics in Technology, Commercialization, Education and Outreach, and Law and Policy as they relate to the aerospace industry. This year’s theme is Canada’s Space Economy.

I was honoured when Summit organizers asked me to deliver a keynote address on behalf of the City of Ottawa, and to participate in the Education & Outreach panel.

General (Retired) Walter J. Natynczyk, the new Canadian Space Agency President and William H. Gerstenmaier, NASA’s Associate Administrator of Human Exploration and Operations, are also speaking at the Summit.

I am proud to showcase the Ottawa region’s strength in this sector and to illustrate why Canada’s Capital is an excellent choice for businesses to establish and to grow their aerospace-related ventures.

Fury sign first player to pro roster Scottish player confident of decision to move to Canadian team Ottawa will be a new team in the North American Soccer League in 2014, joined by two other expansion teams, the Indy Eleven and Virginia Cavalry FC. The first Fury player said he expects the team to take some time to gel, as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be joined by 24 other players, who are still to be signed.

Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - The Ottawa Fury professional soccer team has signed their first player; 28year-old Nicki Paterson.

Paterson, a Scottish player that will fill one of the Furyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international player spots, formerly played with the Charleston Battery in South Carolina.

He said it was a quick decision for him to leave and sign with the Ottawa team after talking with head coach Marc Dos Santos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took me five minutes to turn around and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I like this guy,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Paterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes when you know, you know. It was quite an easy decision.â&#x20AC;?

He said Dos Santosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; extreme passion for soccer got him on board.

Paterson grew up playing in Scotland in the Motherwell

He felt heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d done everything he could with his previous team in Charleston, and was ready for the challenge of playing with a brand new team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew this was going to be a really special team.â&#x20AC;?

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re due to be married before the start of the season, and will come to Ottawa around February to get settled as he begins his two-year contract. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a better place to start married life,â&#x20AC;? said McSeveny, adding they would have to adapt to the cold, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure I can find a cute snowsuit.â&#x20AC;?

Paterson hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been to Ottawa yet, but has visited Toronto and Thunder Bay as a part of his soccer career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could have stayed in Charleston,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(But) I felt starting in Ottawa was 100 per cent the right choice.â&#x20AC;?

Nutcracker set to hit stage at Centrepointe Local dancers have chance to step into spotlight with Ballet Jorgen Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Entertainment - Dozens of local ballerinas will step into the spotlight with Ballet Jorgen’s production of The Nutcracker: A Canadian Tradition.

The show opens at Centrepointe Theatre on Dec. 14 at 1 p.m. It will run until Dec. 17 with three shows taking place at the Shenkman Arts Centre.

The Canadian adaptation of the classic Yuletide fairytale uses landscapes of the Group of Seven as backdrops and characters ranges from squirrels to frogs.

Nepean resident Maddison Schmidt will perform the ballet for the second time.

She will play the dragonfly this year. The 14-year-old has been dancing since she was two years old and said she is excited for the chance to showcase her talent. Normally she dances with Ottawa Centre Dance Schools, but Maddison said she got to meet new people and learn

more about her craft through the experience.

“It’s a lot of fun, everyone is really nice,” she said.

Aside from the two hours of rehearsal time the dancers get as a group, Maddison said she has the music on her iPod. “I practise in front of the mirror,” she said.

Brianna said she loves ballet and plans to do it professionally when she grows up.

She has been dancing with Ottawa Centre Dance Schools since she was five years old.

“It’s a lot of fun,” she said.

Meghan Sangster, a student at Roberta Bondar Public School, will play the squirrel.

Brianna Nykilchyk, 10, her role as a frog is just another item to add to her busy schedule of ballet and highland dancing classes.

Her mother, Anne Bertrand said it was the second year Brianna tried out.

“She said she knew she had nailed it this time,” Bertrand said of the audition. “She was

She sees the Winnipeg Royal Ballet’s version of The Nutcracker every year.

“I really love the music and it’s such a nice story,” she said.

This is Meghan’s second time dancing with Ballet Jorgen; she said she danced in their rendition of Swan Lake in April.

“I love being on stage,” she said, adding she is excited for The Nutcracker’s opening night.

Lexi Sorel, 11, a student at Good Shepherd School in Orléans, will be performing as a bear cub.

It’s her first time performing with Ballet Jorgen. Lexi said she has been dancing with the Academy of Dance Arts and loves the smooth lines of ballet.

“It looks so pretty with the arm movements and the pointed toes,” she said.

There are 29 local girls performing in The Nutcracker this year and one boy. Participants range in age from eight to 14.

Bertrand said she’s happy local kids are given a chance to work on their stage presence and technical skills with a real ballet company.

“I know this experience will help her develop her confidence and performance skills,” Bertrand said. For more information on show times, visit www.balletjorgen.ca.

CHEO'S CARE MAKES LIFE EASIER FOR LOGAN'S FAMILY

Logan Charbonneau

Like most six-year-olds, Logan Charbonneau has a zest for life. He plays hockey with the West Nipissing Sting in his home town of Sturgeon Falls, Ontario and loves to play with Lego blocks.

He loves his school, and although he can be shy when he meets new people, he always ends up loving them.

After being seen in CHEO’s Emergency department, Logan was admitted to CHEO’s 4 West medical unit where he was diagnosed with a general failure to thrive. Children who fail to thrive don't receive or are unable to take in, retain, or use the calories needed to gain weight and grow as expected.

Logan was adopted at birth. At three years old, he was diagnosed with both autism spectrum disorder and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. His parents, Tammy and Jeff, say that two of his major challenges are difficulties with sleeping and eating.

For the past three years Logan has been struggling with his diet. “He has no appetite at all,” explains his father. “He would go days without asking for food.” Logan simply has not been eating enough and this has affected his overall health. His growing body needs nourishment to thrive.

Still struggling with his lack of appetite and having lost a significant amount of weight, the CHEO team wanted to find a solution that would help Logan receive the daily nourishment he needs to stay healthy and grow, as well as regain weight — all while letting him live as normal a life as possible. After testing and consultations, Logan had surgery to have a gastrotomy tube (also known as a g-tube) inserted in his stomach. A gastrotomy tube is inserted through the abdomen and delivers nutrition directly to the stomach.

Recently Logan began to complain about pain in his abdomen. For a child who doesn’t complain, this was worrisome. A trip to the local Emergency room in Sturgeon Falls ruled out physical ailments, but the problem didn’t go away. The hospital’s pediatrician suggested Logan should be seen at CHEO.

After a four week stay at CHEO, Logan was well enough to go home to Sturgeon Falls. To prepare for their return back home and the required follow ups, the family connected with CHEO pediatrician, Dr. Ann Rowan-Legg, who knew their doctor back home. Dr. Rowan-Legg provided the support and medical follow up required for a smooth and thorough transition.

Jeff and Tammy were very impressed with the level of care and concern shown at CHEO.

“

“From the minute we walked into the Emergency department it’s been an amazing experience,” remembers Jeff. “They’re kind. They’re thorough.

They ask a lot of questions and they answer all of our questions.”

From the minute we walked into the Emergency department it’s been an amazing experience.

”

“She not only put the wheels in motion, she made sure it was done at a pace that we’re comfortable with,” says Jeff. “It’s all based on what’s best for Logan.” The medical team consulted with the support services they use in Sturgeon Falls to make sure they were set up to take care of Logan when the family went home.

“The only thing we’re concerned about while we’re here is him. The rest is taken care of by CHEO,” says Jeff. Tammy adds, “They’ve been one step ahead.”

Logan’s home life will change a little bit but within a few months he should be back to the same active life. Now his parents know that he’ll have all the nourishment he needs.

“There have been times in hockey he couldn’t even finish a game because he was too tired,” says Tammy. Teasing Logan, she adds, “Now you can get strong for hockey!” Thanks to CHEO, Logan can look forward to hockey and so much more.

News - An O-Train link to the airport is back on the table.

Mayor Jim Watson headed off what was potentially the most contentious part of the proposed $3-billion transportation master plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the lack of a rail link to the airport â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by sending out a memo before a Nov. 4 transit commission meeting indicating the city will study what it would take to build that link.

The city will include a potential O-Train link to the airport in an environmental assessment study for a southern extension of the rail line â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the caveat that it cannot compromise peak service to Barrhaven and Riverside South, the mayor wrote.

Brad Nixon of the Findlay Creek Community Association cautioned that more costs could crop up if the city decides to make the airport the terminus of the O-Train line, instead of the more southerly station planned for Bowesville, near Riverside South. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it would end at the airportâ&#x20AC;Ś you would need to extend the Transitway, which would be more expensive,â&#x20AC;? Nixon said, speaking in support of the original plan to extend the

O-Train. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(This is the) most logical and realistic plan forward for transit to the south.â&#x20AC;?

Another delegate, David Jeanes, a rail advocate with Transport Action Canada, told the committee that delays in service shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be major stumbling blocks to connect major urban facilities to good transit.

Kevin Kinsella, a South Keys-area resident and accessibility advocate, said there are many reasons why connecting rail to the airport is a good idea. Better accessibility for people with mobility difďŹ culties is one, he said, but south-end businesses could also beneďŹ t.

Watson said he will meet with Mark Laroche, president and CEO of the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport Authority, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;continue these productive and collaborative discussions on how we can build the best transit system we can afford.â&#x20AC;?

LA CITE LINK

The transit commission heard from delegates on other topics in the draft plan for transit expansions until 2031.

Representatives from La Cite Collegiale requested a direct bus link from its east-end campus to Blair

Station. Mayor Jim Watson made a point of emphasizing how light-rail and O-Train connections to all the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post-secondary educational institutions would make Ottawa an â&#x20AC;&#x153;education powerhouse,â&#x20AC;? but a representative of La Cite didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the proposed rail line came close enough, adding a bus link would set the foundation for a route connecting to the future new community to be developed at the former Rockcliffe air base. The college also asked the transit commission to consider extending the light-rail line past Place dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OrlĂŠans to Trim Road, which it has a secondary trades centre. The commission didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act on either of those requests.

The city is squeezing a little more transit into Kanata under its new plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but not light-rail.

During the transit commission meeting, city staff revealed an altered plan that would see a dedicated bus lane in the median of March Road extended farther north to end at Solandt Road instead of Carling Avenue.

The changes would also add a $25-million new section of Transitway along Highway 417 through an existing tunnel under Valour Bridge to connect to Terry Fox station at the Kanata Centrum.

The trade-off is that the changes remove a plan to create another offramp to separate buses from trafďŹ c at the Eagleson-March-Campeau intersection, which would have cost $30 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can build that underpass with no route, or we can build the route with no underpass,â&#x20AC;? said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

Instead, buses will travel in regular vehicle trafďŹ c for the stretch off Highway 417 to Corkstown Road, where specialized signals will allow the buses to cross into the median, where they will continue north on March Road on a separate busway until it reaches the Kanata North Business Park. It was important to make the best possible use of a future transit investment for Kanata, Wilkinson said, and it will be of more beneďŹ t to extend the new Transitway sections rather than build expensive grade-separated ramps that would only provide a marginal beneďŹ t.

She said the new facilities will encourage people to park-and-ride at Terry Fox, which will be important as the area develops with around 3,000 new homes and new employment areas, including the nearby outlet mall under construction.

Stittsville, however, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be getting new Transitway lanes as planned in the past.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big problem for Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, who said new residents have already been contacting him to express frustration with the change in plans. People moved into the area expecting it to be served by good transit, he said, and the com-

munity design plan allowed for higher densities because of that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a disservice to this community,â&#x20AC;? Qadri said.

Under the last transportation master plan, the developing Fernbank area was slated to get bus rapid transit and/or transit-priority measures before 2031. That project was put further down the list in the new plan due to an affordability analysis that indicated it is less urgent and of less beneďŹ t than other transit projects, said deputy city manager Nancy Schepers.

The roadway space needed for the future bus facilities will still be protected so it can be converted for bus use in the future, after 2031. The city will also reserve dedicated space for buses when it builds a new northsouth arterial road to serve the developing Fernbank area.

Qadri said he is going to approach developers to see if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll front the money needed to built both phases of that road â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including a northern leg to connect to Palladium Drive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the same time.

Asking developers to advance the money needed to construct infrastructure is something the city should be doing more often, Qadri said, adding that the same strategy could be used to fast track the building of busways in Stittsville too. Even a localized tax levy to fund transit improvements is something the city should consider, the councillor said. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be pushing that issues further during debates about the transportation master plan by the transportation committee on Nov. 15.

Children don’t need to see domestic violence to be witnesses ‘Effects of witnessing violence is very similar to if a child was directly experiencing violence’: counsellor Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metorland.com

News - Children don’t need to see domestic violence with their own eyes to be a witness to it, said a counsellor who works with children.

Children pick up on body language and the atmosphere that pervades abusive relationships.

“Witnessing implies to a lot of people that you see (domestic violence) with your eyes,” said the counsellor at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, who asked not to be identified as it could pose a safety risk for herself and the children she helps.

The counsellor works in the child witness program, part of the violence against women program, for children whose mothers have identified that their children have witnessed partner violence.

“A lot of kids that I work with, they see nothing directly but they see all of the other stuff around that – the after effects. They see mom injured, they see police at the door, or they hear silence. They can see, they can hear, they can sense, they can feel and they can experience.”

November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month and Metroland Media is publishing articles throughout the month on various aspects of violence against women and the services offered by the resource centre.

According to Statistics Canada and Health Canada: • Up to 360,000 children are exposed to domestic violence every year across the country • Witnessing violence increases the chances that boys will grow up to act violently with dating and/or marital partners. For girls, it increases the chance that they will accept violence in their dating and/or marital relationships • There is a 30 to 40 per cent overlap between children who witness domestic violence and children who experience direct physical abuse themselves • For children who are exposed to violence, consequences can include emotional trauma, depression, injury

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre offers counselling for children who witness or experience abuse through its violence against women program. and permanent disability, as well as other physical, psychological, and behavioural problems that can extend into adolescence and adulthood Abusers will often use children as a control tactic over the mother, said Vivienne, a counsellor in the resource centre’s violence against women program.

“They dangle the children; they say this will happen to the child if you don’t do this,” said Vivienne, who prefers not to use her last name.

“They’re first (threat) is, ‘Oh, I will take the kids from you.’ Women stay because they don’t want to lose their children.” But that poses safety risks – emotional and physical – for both mother and children.

“The effects of witnessing violence is very similar to if a child

was directly experiencing violence,” said the children’s counsellor. The resource centre offers a number of services through its violence against women program, including children’s counselling. The youth counsellor works with children up to age 18 who have experienced violence, which can include emotional, verbal, physical and sexual. The first thing she discusses with them is their safety and how comfortable they are talking to her.

“Then I explore what is violence, defining it, what does it mean, who’s responsible for it. Because I get a lot of kids that identify that they feel responsible,” she said. “Children are never responsible.” She also works with children to indentify and explore all the emotions they can feel.

“This is important, that kids hear messages, healthy messages, positive messages around it’s OK to love your dad … if dad is the identified abuser.

But it’s also OK and it’s your right to be safe,” said the counsellor.

“Children have a right to be with both parents but they also have a right to be safe … Safety is both emotional and physical.”

It’s the hardest thing for mothers to face, to hear that their children are being impacted by violence inside the home, said Vivienne, but a healthy mother has a great impact on her children – and the first step is to reach out and tell someone.

“For us, it’s all about the safety of the family,” she said. “Once a woman starts to speak her truth and say what’s happening, (the abuser’s)

control and power starts to disintegrate.”

Counsellors at the resource centre offer women and children coping techniques and tools, and advice about how not to engage in an abuser’s tactics.

The centre has a large violence against women program that helps women living in Kanata, Goulbourn, West Carleton, Rideau, Nepean, Osgoode and Bay wards. The program offers peer support, individual and group counselling services, transitional housing, referrals and resources – as well as running Chrysalis House, a secure 25-bed shelter in the city for women and children fleeing abusive homes.

Will Someone Fight For Me? “I was placed in foster care a few years ago – my mom could not properly take care of me. Since being in care, I have moved from foster home to foster home. I push everyone away. I scream a lot and say horrible things. I throw stuff and make even the nicest times miserable for everyone. You see, I was once close with my biological parents and where has that gotten me? I don’t want to be hurt again, so I trust no one. I know what I do isn’t right, but I’m angry”.

Fundraisers have a ball

The Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) is looking for a family ready to make a lifetime of difference.

This talented little girl, identified as Emma, loves to sign and compose music. She is a straight A student who receives nothing but positive feedback from her teachers.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt warms up before a friendly flag football game to kick off the city hall “Mo’tel de Ville” Movember fundraising efforts on Nov. 1. The team has raised more than $1,000 in donations so far in support of men’s health initiatives.

Last year, 247,441 Canadians supported the efforts by fundraising $42.6 million by cultivating moustaches. During the friendly football match, the city hall team bested its media counterparts 42-12.

Breathe through a straw for 60 seconds.

That’s what breathing is like with cystic fibrosis.

What Emma needs more than anything is for someone to stand by her. She needs someone who is ready for a challenge and who understands that she doesn’t need to be “fixed”, but rather, needs to be loved. She will act out and she will most likely push you away. You see, Emma is only 12 and she has yet to have someone committed to her. She has yet to experience forgiveness and trust. She has yet to have someone stand by her and support her, no matter.

City to allow wider suburban driveways Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Tired of residents widening walkways into driveways and paving over their yards, the city is drafting new rules to allow more room to park at homes in the suburbs.

The issue stems from a move to build on smaller lots, even in the outer suburbs. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current rules limit the width of driveways to in front of the garage only â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not the main home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the laneway canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take up more than 50 per cent of the lot.

It sounds like a good policy in theory, say suburban councillors, but in reality it means people are packing their garages with the accoutrements of suburban living and instead parking on the grass of their yards and ďŹ lling up streets by parking their extra vehicles along the adjacent road.

In some cases, homeowners create a wide interlock â&#x20AC;&#x153;pathwayâ&#x20AC;? next to their driveways to enlarge the area they are able to use for driveway parking.

It causes a lot of neigh-

bourhood strife, councillors say â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than almost any other neighbourhood issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Nepean days, you never got any complaints about it,â&#x20AC;? said. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder.

Now her ofďŹ ce gets calls about situations where a new homeowner moves in and tries to widen their â&#x20AC;&#x153;pathwayâ&#x20AC;? driveway to match the neighbours who did it before amalgamation. It sparks bylaw battles, Harder said, with neighbours constantly calling 311 on each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are people who were buying nice homes and doing nice things to make their properties ďŹ t into their lifestyles,â&#x20AC;? said Harder, who did the exact same thing to one of her previous homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then you get into this really crappy shouting match.â&#x20AC;?

Now the city is drafting a rule to allow homeowners in the suburban area outside the inner edge of the Greenbelt (excluding Bells Corners and Blackburn Hamlet) to widen their driveways to take up a third of the width of the yard.

The change would basically allow the kind of driveway

widening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; using a widened walkway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that was common practice before amalgamation.

The change was supported by the majority of people who responded to a public consul-

These are people who were buying nice homes and doing nice things to make their properties fit into their lifestyles.

BARRHAVEN COUN. JAN HARDER

tation held in June, said Tim Moerman, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planner in charge of the project.

The portion of the widened driveway that ends up being in front of the house could be up to 1.8 metres wide and would have to be done in a material that allows rainwater to seep through, such as pavers or turf block. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an esthetic issue, Moerman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the suburbs, the prac-

tical reality is that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably going to have two cars,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we are certainly encouraging people to use transitâ&#x20AC;Ś realistically there is a context that applies to different parts of town.â&#x20AC;?

Harder was pleased the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planners took that approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a recognition of our lifestyle,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The issue of multiple vehicles and less room to store them is becoming more acute as more teenaged children continue to live at home for longer periods while they attend post-secondary institutions and begin their careers.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ward is feeling similar pressures and he said the new rule would take some parked cars off Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local streets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m buoyed that city staff is working with the commu-

nity to ďŹ nd a solution,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get some uniformity.â&#x20AC;?

In Stittsville, there are problems with people calling bylaw services if a neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car is parked on the street past the three-hour limit. Snow removal and snow storage are also problems, he said. But if people illegally expand their driveways to extreme widths, it creates a â&#x20AC;&#x153;concrete jungleâ&#x20AC;? with much less space left for visitors to park along the street.

The proposed new rule could also guide how the city approves new developments, Qadri said, which could help tackle the problem in the long term.

Residents can read up on the proposed changes at ottawa.ca/driveways and submit feedback to Moerman by emailing driveways@ottawa. ca by Dec. 3.

City councillor tacking ditch filling Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The latest frontier for fixing up post-amalgamation policies?

Ditches.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt wants to tackle ways homeowners – mostly in the city’s rural areas – could legally infill roadside ditches in front of their properties.

But he’s not talking about letting people take a load of dirt and dump

it into the ditch, Moffatt said.

In the old days, before amalgamation, homeowners in some former municipalities were allowed to infill the deep trenches in front of their homes in a way that still allowed rainwater to drain from the roadway but made it easier to cut grass going down into the ditch and generally make it more attractive. The infilled ditches were inspected to ensure they would still fulfill their function and prevent flooding.

Now that’s not allowed, even though some homeowners are doing it anyways.

Some of the folks who want to fill their ditches in are seniors, who say it’s becoming dangerous for them to cut the grass in their ditches, Moffatt said.

Some of these people are spending around $5,000 to have their ditch redesigned and filled, only to have neighbours call bylaw services. Officers come and have them tear the

ditch infill out, Moffatt said.

Moffatt is convinced the altered road ditches don’t cause “actual problems,” even though the reason the city banned the practice was the risk of flooding and liability issues if every homeowner on the street did the same thing.

“We allowed these for years and years with no problems,” he said.

While stormwater management and drainage can be a touchy topic, Moffatt emphasized that there a

“different kinds of drainage.” Roadside ditches handle a pretty minor amount of water runoff, Moffatt said. The more serious issues with potential flooding mostly relate to other drainage areas, such as rear yards.

The councillor is waiting for a response form city staff on what – if anything – can be done about this issue. Moffatt won’t know until then if any action would have to be taken or new laws or policies drafted.

Brothers argued over box

T

he station master had called that morning. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what Father had planned for the day, it would have to be put on hold. More important was going into Renfrew and bringing home the hand-medown box that had arrived from Regina.

When we got home from school, there it was, sitting in the middle of the kitchen, a big square wooden box that at one time had held bulk tea. It was lined with a kind of foil, and until it was opened after supper, there it would sit with its lid nailed shut.

Of course, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lay a finger on it until after the kitchen had been â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;reddedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; up, and our hands washed. I was never sure why we

He hobbled into church, hobbled out, and could barely make it back into the house when we got home where he fell into the nearest chair and pulled off the new shiny black shoes

had to wash our hands before we could touch a dirty wood box that had come all the way from Regina on the train.

Finally, we were ready. We sat around the box on kitchen chairs while Everett pried the lid off with a crowbar.

There would be nothing in it but boys clothes, since Aunt Lizzie, the sender of the hand-me-down box had only sons, and there was really nothing in the box to interest

MARY COOK R0012233909

Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories my sister Audrey and me. So often we chose to sit at the kitchen table looking through Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue while my three brothers and Mother pawed through the big box of clothes.

Father, of course, showed no interest at all. He was in his usual position in front of the Findlay Oval, half asleep in the rocking chair. But that night, Audrey and I joined the circle as piece after piece of boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; clothes, along with pants and jackets that had belonged to Uncle Jack, were taken out.

Down in the very bottom was a pair of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shiny shoes. Well!

Emerson grabbed them before anyone else had a chance and claimed them as his own. The brothers had a pair each of well worn laced boots kept for church, and gum rubbers which they wore to school. Never had any of the three owned a pair of shiny black leather shoes. Everett thought because he was the oldest, they should belong to him. Emerson roared that he saw them first, and said there would be a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;roaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyed fight if Everett tried to claim them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like they fit you,â&#x20AC;? Mother said.

There was no doubt Emerson was bigger by far than Everett, but Emerson already had his gum rubbers off and cramming his feet into the shoes. He was getting red in the face, and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a genius to see that the shoes were a good inch shorter than Emersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enormous feet, but he was going to own them and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there was to it. Before

there was any further discussion, he carried the shoes upstairs and put them under the bed he shared with Earl and dared anyone to lay a finger on them.

Recognize trouble at school Community - For parents, recognizing that their child might be struggling in school is not always easy. According to the education experts at Oxford Learning, there are five main signs to watch for: â&#x20AC;˘ Children making comments such as: â&#x20AC;&#x153;the teacher picks on meâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;do I have to go to school today?â&#x20AC;?, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;this assignment is pointless.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Daily homework not being completed. â&#x20AC;˘ Assignments and projects missed completely or submitted late. â&#x20AC;˘ Poor test scores and poor grades on projects and assignments.

â&#x20AC;˘ Disinterest in school and school-related activities.

Oxford Learning founder and CEO Nick Whitehead, says that not all of these signs of school trouble have to happen at the same time, but when one or more happens frequently, things may be getting off track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sooner that parents recognize the symptoms of school trouble and seek help for their children, the easier getting back on track and ending school troubles becomes.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; News Canada

Brothers rolling on floor Continued from page 41

He never once tried them on all week, but every night he brought them downstairs and rubbed them with an old piece of long â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;johnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from the rag bag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be wearing those to church on Sunday,â&#x20AC;? he announced every night.

Well, Sunday came, and after the morning chores, we all got dressed for church.

Emerson came downstairs, walking like he had a bag of potatoes under his pants, but wearing the new shoes.

Mother asked him why he was walking so funny, and he said he was breaking in the shoes. My sister Audrey said under her breath, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the shoes are breaking in him!â&#x20AC;?

He hobbled into church, hobbled out, and could barely make it back into the house when we got home

where he fell into the nearest chair and pulled off the new shiny black shoes. He let out a sigh of relief and then pulled off his socks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happened to your toes?â&#x20AC;? I asked him.

They were as red as a beet and he had to use his fingers to unbend them.

Everett was ready to claim the shoes when Emerson said he could buy them if he wanted, but he certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting them for nothing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are my shoes, and they stay my shoes until you pay for them,â&#x20AC;? Emerson said, rubbing his toes trying to get the cramps out of them.

Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Mother entered the fray. She got up from the kitchen table, walked over to where Emerson and the new shiny black shoes were, grabbed them off the floor, and handed them

to Everett. She never said a word. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to.

Everett slipped off his laced boots, and even with heavy grey work socks, he was able to slip his feet in easily. They fit him like they had been made for him. Emerson hardly spoke to Everett for three days.

The hand-me-down box never arrived that there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an argument over who was to get what. Only when the brothers came to blows and were rolling around on the floor, clutching the piece of clothing the fight was over, would Mother call a halt. She could stand just so much of the carry-on, and then she would give each a slap on the side of the head, or a yank on an ear, while Father, sitting in his rocking chair, never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal.

There are many galleries in Ottawa.

Only this one has a kitchen.

Safety audit takes place in Glebe Annex Group of residents gathers to help point out concerns Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Lighting and children safety were named top concerns at the Glebe Annex communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first safety audit.

The Glebe Annex Community Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traffic, safety and security committee chairwoman Peggy Kampouris organized the event with Ottawa-based Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Initiatives for Safer Environments, an organization who help communities hold safety audits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We covered the whole neighbourhood,â&#x20AC;? Kampouris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were even a couple of overlaps - which was great because you get different perspectives of the same area.â&#x20AC;?

Residents broke up into teams, each having a staff member from WISE working with them.

Kampouris said the help and organization the group received from WISE was incredibly beneficial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so easy to set up,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WISE gave us the framework. We met with them a week before the safety audit and the communication from them was excellent; the information was excellent and they organized it beautifully.â&#x20AC;?

Program director at WISE, Elsy David, said the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role is to help facilitate a walkabout and give the community the tools to identify safety concerns in the neighbourhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is about giving people a

sense that safety is community building,â&#x20AC;? David said.

The audit, David added, is important to do at night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lighting is typically the first thing people identify as a concern,â&#x20AC;? David said.

WISE will compile all the information gathered during the audit into a report to hand out to the community, the city and police. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The report will be sent to the various agencies,â&#x20AC;? Kampouris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not just coming from us. If there are items that need the attention of the police, or the city, WISE will forward it along and they will followup regularly with us to see if things are getting done.â&#x20AC;?

Kampouris said she was pleased with the comments she had heard from the audit.

Residents gather at the start of a safety audit in the Glebe Annex on Nov. 5. The event asked residents to walk around with WISE representatives to point out safety concerns in their neighbourhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you talk about a community safety audit, you would assume it would be about crime, how safe it is to walk through the neighbourhood,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But there were some things that came up at the audit about the safety of children.â&#x20AC;?

David said she was impressed with the turnout from

the neighbourhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The important thing is we are talking about the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice and the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective,â&#x20AC;? David said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other thing is that this is a proactive approach. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not reactionary. If you listen to the warnings you can prevent crimes.â&#x20AC;?

Kampouris said she will

give a verbal report about the audit at the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting on Nov. 21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody who participated in the study told me they felt it was worthwhile,â&#x20AC;? Kampouris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am looking forward to the results and the changes that will come.â&#x20AC;?

Jonathon Harrington, a Barrhaven-based photographer is getting ready to print his book of photography with proceeds going to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

Photographer snaps for charity Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

R0012410019

News - Jonathon Harrington is nearing the end of a five-year journey to showcase his work.

The Barrhaven-based photographer originally started working on a book to branch out as an artist, but after talking with one of his models, he decided to give something back.

“The shoots became kind of therapy sessions,” he said. “And one of my models told me about losing her mother to breast cancer. After a while it seemed to make sense to give some of the proceeds to the breast cancer foundation.”

Harrington shot the book using 57 models – most of them women.

He said he’s happy to delve into the more artistic side of his craft.

Harrington started his career as a wedding photographer and now he does work for corporate clients.

“It’s really exciting to be doing something that’s 100 per cent mine,” he said.

Despite his enthusiasm, Harrington said it was tough to navigate the publishing world.

He plans to fund half the costs through kickstarter.com, an online crowd funding site. He’s already nearing reached his goal of $5,000. The

first $3,000 in donations were made in the first week.

“I plan to kick in another $5,000 of my own money,” he said.

With any luck, he said his book will be available at Chapters and Indigo before Christmas.

The images are mostly high key, which means white background and a low level of contrast, making photographs appear to be similar to pencil drawings. The odd punch of colour can have a dramatic effect.

In one image, the model is bent in a posture that makes the forefront of the picture look like a bow, so Harrington used Photoshop software to add pink – mimicking the iconic pink breast cancer ribbon.

“It was a friend that told me about the bow, I have had a lot of positive feedback from that image. It’s amazing I didn’t see it, but I think when you work on something for as long as I have you tend not to notice the forest for the trees,” he said.

The final book will have 128 photographs.

“I think over the course of working on the book I have shot 5,000 images,” Harrington said.

Harrington’s work is available online at www. iconimaging.ca.

Fashion show funds social programs in Rideau-Rockcliffe Elmwood, Carson Grove students work together Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Students from Elmwood School and the Carson Grove community are working together to help fund the local resource centre’s after-school and emergency food programs.

A total of 31 students are organizing a one-day charity fashion show for the Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre. The centre will host the event on Nov. 17 at the Elmwood School in Rockcliffe Park.

Executive director of the centre, Catherine Dubois, said the idea for the fundraiser came about as a way to reduce the divide between neighbourhoods in the Rideau-Rockcliffe city ward.

“In our eyes, children and youth living in social housing and the students of Elmwood truly share a common denominator – they are our community’s greatest assets,” Dubois said.

Dubois said it wasn’t long before the two groups wanted to create an event where both communities could come together to help give back.

“Working hand in hand with youth, we hoped to raise awareness about programs and services that support children and youth to be confident,

Elmwood School students Celina Gilligan and Aashna Uppal are working with the Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre for its first ever fashion show fundraiser. Elmwood will host the event with Gilligan performing the master of ceremonies duties and Uppal modeling for the show. resourceful and successful in school and life,” she said. “Through a youth volunteer program that we operate every summer, we realized how effective young people are in raising awareness about issues that matter to them,” Dubois said. The Carson Grove youth have had the chance to showcase their talents with regards to fundraising, community outreach,

planning and organizing, teaching sound and lighting techniques and much more. Meanwhile the Elmwood School students have been facilitating the needs of the centre for the evening, including offering up the school’s auditorium for the event.

And according to Dubois, there will also be a chance for many of these youth who have been working be-

hind the scenes to take the spotlight as models, ambassadors and speakers during the event.

“We are very proud of all the youth as they are very involved in their community and in our centre,” she added.

Leading up to the show, Elmwood senior Celina Gilligan has been the school’s liaison and has been working with the centre on setting up the event, finding volunteers to help and try to fill any needs the centre may have to get this show off without a hitch. Gilligan and the school’s head girl, Aashna Uppal, both say they hope this event, and working with the resource centre is something the school and the students continue to do for years to come.

“This has been a great experience and we hope to make it a regular thing,” Uppal said.

Leading up to the show on Nov. 17 the girls at the school have held a food and clothing drive for the centre. But it’s not only the young students who have come together to help make this fashion fundraiser a success. Dubois said many local businesses have signed onto the project to help either donate clothing, support or funding for the evening.

To name a few, Clothes Encounters of a Second Time, One Tooth

Yoga, Brachic and Delilah will be showcased at the event.

Tickets are priced at $100, $75 and $50 according to row selection and can be purchased by calling 613745-0073, ext. 126.

The money raised will help programs at the centre’s community house throughout the week after school for young children as well as older youth.

The programs offer homework help, skill-building, recreation and nutritious food. Families affected by poverty often struggle to have adequate food, so Dubois said the centre tries to make sure that all the children enjoy healthy and abundant snacks when they visit the community house after school.

The event will also help the organization purchase a freezer for the community house so larger quantities of food can be stored for the after-school programming. In addition to the programs at the community house, weekly programs are offered at three schools in the area; Queen Mary, St. Michael and Manor Park School and in 2014, Dubois said she hopes to begin a program at the for high school students at risk of dropping out of school, working in partnership with a neighbouring high school near the community house.

Pet Adoptions

BRANDO ID#A153521

Brando (A153521) is an outgoing and playful five-year-old neutered male domestic shorthair who arrived at the OHS in February from another shelter. This kitty loves to engage in play with people and toys. He especially loves feather wands, laser pointers and “Cat Dancer” toys. Brando enjoys being groomed and having his ears scratched, and although he is happiest when he has your full attention, he is also content to relax on a window sill and watch the birds and squirrels outside.

Brando is a special needs cat because he is currently being fed a hypo-allergenic and may require ongoing veterinary care.

To learn more about Brando, please contact the OHS at 613-725-3166 ext 258 or visit us at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.

Taking a second look at long-term residents at the Ottawa Humane Society

Hello world! My name is Gus. I am 16 weeks old and I love life! My favourite things in life so far are food, toys, and my big sister Ruby ( she’ll learn to love me, I’m too cute not to love, or so the human says ). You’ll often find me running around exploring, watching TV or lying on my human’s book while she’s trying to read. I look forward to seeing what life brings me next... I hope it’s treats or a new mouse toy.
