Museum up for $80.7M overhaul Modernized Science and Technology Museum to reopen in 2017
we’re done with it,” said Alex Benay, president and chief executive officer of the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation, which manages the national museum. Canadian Heritage Minister Shelly Glover, who made the funding announcement at Library and Archives Canada, said the money will pay for a new roof, mould removal, modernizing the exterior façade, seismic and fire safety retrofits and expansion of the current exhibit space, which currently only showcases two per cent of the museum’s collection. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2015 and the museum will reopen in the summer or fall of 2017.

News - Talk of opening a new Canada Science and Technology Museum at LeBreton Flats was nixed Monday with the federal government’s promise to infuse $80.5 million to upgrade, repair and modernize the mould- and asbestos-contaminated facility. “For all intents and purposes, this will be a new facility by the time
“I think the one thing when we were discussing what to do in going forward with this – no patch jobs, no Band-Aids,” said Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird, speaking in his role as the minister responsible for the National Capital Region. “This needed a major revitalization.” The national museum, which has been at its present location on St. Laurent Boulevard since 1967, unexpectedly closed Sept. 11 and upwards of three dozen staff were evacuated after high levels of airborne mould, caused by the leaky roof, were detected during regular maintenance.

Staff hope museum’s new design will rejuvenate attendance He downplayed his enthusiasm in recent weeks over the idea of moving the museum to LeBreton Flats, saying there wouldn’t be enough space at the site for a larger Science and Technology Museum. “I have to be very frank. I never imagined that Minister Glover could
complexities of removing the mould without jeopardizing the seal covering the asbestos-laden roof. Compared to “other options” and keeping taxpayers in mind, the decision to overhaul the current site is the “most reasonable and responsible conclusion,” said Baird.

After mould was detected, officials hoped to have the Canada Science and Technology Museum operational again within weeks. The reopening was then postponed until at least January 2015 due to the

town core,” he said. Museum officials are hopeful the new design will incorporate space for revolving exhibits to maximize the experience for visitors, said Benay, adding the upgrades will ensure the museum becomes a “hot-ticket item” when it reopens. How long construction will last will depend on the problems caused by the leaky roof. “We’re going to see what the extent of the damage is,” said Benay. “The problem that we’ve had is it’s been 40 years of patchwork on this roof so every time you peel an onion layer, you see what’s underneath. “It’s something that we’ve been trying to tackle for years now so we’re happy that it’s finally come to an end.” Next steps also include moving many of the artifacts from the building into storage facilities on nearby Lancaster Road. A portion of the funding will be earmarked for the lease of a facility that will also hold some of the artifacts during construction.

be so successful so quickly in securing such a significant amount of money to rejuvenate the current site,” he said. Calling the rejuvenation a “significant step” by the federal government, Glover said a brand new museum would cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. “This made the most sense,” she said. “It’s going to be done in an efficient way. It’s going to be done in a timely fashion and it’s going to modernize a museum that is in a location that is prime.” Museum staff feel very “confident and comfortable” the museum will continue to operate at its current location, said Benay. While the science museum has suffered from “stagnant” attendance compared to the corporation’s Canada Space and Aviation Museum and Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, Benay blamed the experience at the museum rather than location for waning visits. “Two of our three museums, their attendance has grown year after year and none of them are in the down-

mands and it wasn’t fast enough. But I’m not sure that the employee really had enough time to comply just the way things unfolded.� The fast-food worker provided responding patrol officers with a detailed physical description of the suspect, included very specific information about the man’s clothing. While driving along nearby streets, officers found the alleged
robber walking along a side street 10 to 15 minutes later. The employee’s prompt 911 call and the quick police response time were key in apprehending the suspect, who Haarbosch said is known to Ottawa police, though not to robbery investigators. Officers also recovered a razor blade. “It was a great job by responding
patrol officers to make a quick arrest. That’s great and potentially stopped any other robberies from occurring. That’s what we like to see ... especially in this instance when he got out with nothing,� said Haarbosch. “He needed the money for something so chances would have been pretty good that he would have done another one in pretty short order, if not even the same night.�
THE ONLY LINE-UP THAT ATTRACTS LINE-UPS.
A 30-year-old Toronto man has been charged with robbery, possession of a weapon and assault. He was scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 11 and 12. Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613236-1222, ext. 5116, or phone in anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

News - Flipping through the pages of her second published book, an excited smile flashes across Tammie Winsor’s face. The experience of publishing her most recent children’s book is comparable, she said, to the feeling she had when she held her first book in her hands a year ago. She hopes her example will motivate others. “Maybe I will inspire people in 20 years: ‘You know, I think I could do that too.’ I’d feel great. I’d be honoured if I did,� she said. “It plants a seed.� The Riverview Park resident celebrated the launch late last month of Caveman Jack, the second in her That Jack Series following the publication of Jack and the Fairy Dogmother last December. Her first book is designed to entice young readers up to Grade 2 and Caveman Jack is geared to kids up to Grade 3. The newest work tells the story of Jack when he wakes up one day and decides to become a
caveman named Ooga Jacka. Since its launch she has been visiting local Ottawa schools and reading the adventurous story about her main character to young readers. “I’m getting great response. People find it really funny,� Winsor said. She continues to work in communications for the federal government, juggling her ongoing work on new Jack stories and parenting her three young children. She’s busy, but says winning a CBC Radio contest in 2012 through which her story was published by Renfrewbased General Store Publishing House has inspired her to keep going with her dream. “When I found out I won, I cried. I was proud,� Winsor recalled. “It was just a really beautiful feeling. “Most of us, we have ambitions but we just make up excuses and we let life, just the regular routines, get in the way.� But Winsor said the possibilities are endless when you

Novelty of publishing never wears off Continued from page 6
“When I submitted the second book, Caveman Jack, last April I actually felt a little prouder because it was all me and they didn’t have to worry about letting CBC down,” said Winsor. “There were no strings attached.” She already has a third Jack book in the works with a working title of Wake Up Jack. “I’d like to do one each year,” she said. Caveman Jack is the second collaboration between Winsor and illustrator Greg Money, who is also a Riverview Park resident. “I know her from the neighbourhood. Our kids were going to the same school,” Money said. “We were chatting one day and she asked me to help her out.” Over several months, Money brought Winsor’s vision for her character Jack to life through detailed cartoon-like images. And after a lot
of back and forth, the inaugural Jack book was published. “The basic shapes of Jack came pretty quickly,” Money said. Another intriguing feature of the books are small background drawings like a fisherman and an iceberg that point to Winsor’s Newfoundland upbringing. Dots on a map of Canada on one of the pages are a tribute to the hometowns of people close to Money. Money’s published illustrations are the product of a lifetime spent drawing cartoons, painting, and earning a bachelor’s degree in art history and a graduate degree in political cartooning. Money said he finds inspiration on a daily basis from his two young daughters and kids in the neighbourhood. “Sometimes adults too because they’re kid-like without intending to be,” he said. The self-taught freelance illustrator and stay-at-home dad had been published before he worked with Winsor.
His illustrations have appeared in several children’s books by Peterborough author Lynda Morrissey as well as scientific illustrations in PhD theses. He continues to paint banners for the masthead in every issue of the Riverview Park Review, a community newsletter. The publication of both That Jack books has been a special experience for Money. “It’s always a really big moment for yourself when you go from having the electronic files and the artwork on your drafting table to actually seeing it printed,” he said. “The difference between having those little parts in your hand and the final thing come together is amazing.” Caveman Jack and Jack and the Fairy Dogmother are available at Kaleidoscope Books in the Glebe and online through Chapters and Amazon. For more on Winsor’s works, visit her Facebook page at facebook.com/TammieWinsorAuthor.
CAROLE MOULT
Longtime freelance illustrator Greg Money says the basic shapes of the main character he drew in author Tammie Winsor’s children’s books came to him quickly, and were polished after months of collaboration. Caveman Jack, their second book in the That Jack Series, was recently published – a year after their first published book together.

What students can teach us
I
tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a positive sign for our future when young people take the lead. Students in the police foundations program at Algonquin College did just that last weekend, raising funds for the family of a police officer who died by suicide. While the majority of the money raised during the Students For Heroes event has been directed to the family of Staff Sgt. Kal Ghadban, the future police officers also made sure some of the proceeds went to prevention of tragedies in the years to come through the Heroes Are Human organization, which helps first responders prepare for on-the-job stresses. Our police officers, paramedics and firefighters may seem superhuman, capable of dealing with the worst life can throw at them, but while the physical risks of those careers may be clear to everyone, the mental stresses may be buried behind a little bravado. For most of us, we deal with difficult situations at work and for the most part can go home for
the evening or the weekend and blow it off. It is much more difficult to blow off the image of a horrific car crash, a tense standoff with a volatile individual or the feeling that must accompany not being able to save someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. There are many hazards that accompany the jobs of emergency workers and law enforcement agents. No one questions that someone suffering with a broken arm or smoke inhalation needs professional assistance, yet there must come a day when first responders also know that they can seek help for their mental health just as easily. With awareness, every first responder and member of the public should come to expect everyone who needs help will seek help. There is no stigma attached to seeking help for that broken arm. And over time, over generations, the stigma of seeking help for invisible injuries will evaporate. All it takes is a change in attitude. The helpful push in the right direction from college students is a welcome way to keep the change happening.

t was interesting reading the recent round of interviews with newly-elected city councillors. They all seem dedicated to serving constituents and the city. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all committed to listening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What will you never do?â&#x20AC;? the new councillors are asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will never stop listening,â&#x20AC;? they reply. That seems to be a common thread. Indeed, it has been a common thread for about as long as such interviews have been conducted. You can imagine senators in ancient Rome promising to keep listening to the publicus and vowing that their doors would always be open, even on the Ides of March. Not to make light of it, the determination to keep listening to constituents is a noble thing. And smart,

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that at least some of those who make the promise to keep listening donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize it is a more difficult practice than it seems. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the newly elected official, once in office, discovers there are many voices to be heard, and some of them threaten to drown out the constituents.

The councillor will hear the mayor for example, and might want to go along with him on a particular issue, just because being on the right side of the mayor might help down the road. The councillor will certainly hear the voices of developers and other special interests, who are skilled at communicating and often persuasive, even though their ability to exert influence through campaign contributions is now constrained. The councillor will hear his or her colleagues, who will sometimes trade votes: You support me on this one and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll support you on that one. Or sometimes the councillors will simply want to end one of those interminable meetings and it takes a brave rookie to prolong it by withholding consensus.

Most importantly, the councillor will hear the voices of city staff. In almost all respects this is a good thing. Staff has the time and the resources to develop well thought-out positions on complicated issues. They know what the precedents and the legalities are and can present their recommendations authoritatively, often changing the minds of councillors who once held a different point of view.

Income splitting fails most Canadians BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse the policy will widen the everwidening income gap. (The rich get richer, while the poor get poorer). Income splitting ignores families in the lowest income bracket. Families who could really use extra money in their pockets each month to pay for groceries are not going to benefit. Income splitting also ignores the plethora of single parent families. Twenty per cent of Canadian children live in households with a single parent. That parent is usually a woman, and as the Globe and Mail’s Margaret Wente pointed out in a 2013 column on the marriage gap, “loneparent families in Canada are four times more likely to be poor than are two-parent families.” As we head into an election year, opposition parties have already stood up to offer an ideological alternative to income splitting. With a reduction in tax revenue, income splitting is going to cost a lot, and will very likely come at the expense of social programs that could have a real economic benefit. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Canada needs a national childcare strategy, something the NDP has proposed in direct op-
position to the Conservative income splitting plan. This is an economic reality. Regardless of individual family “choices,” made mostly by upper-middle-class families to use daycare or not in the early years, a national childcare strategy, with a focus on access and affordability, will generate much greater benefits to all Canadians and to the economy. Many people think childcare only affects families with young children. But affordable, quality childcare can benefit the economy as a whole. We need women in the workforce to address an impending labour shortage. We need women earning, so they can spend and drive the economy and pay into pension plans to benefit all those boomers that have or will be retiring. We need women working so they and their children can get out of poverty. It’s no secret that Canada is falling behind in the gender wage gap among peer countries. One in seven Canadian children live in low income households, a number that remains persistently high. There are countless studies that suggest access to affordable quality childcare is one of the most significant child poverty
elimination measures. The Conservative income splitting policy does not reflect the reality of most Canadian families, nor does it account for future generations. Offering the middle class extra pocket money each month is a short-sighted political measure engineered to win votes. But it will do little or nothing to strengthen

ncome splitting is here. Two-parent families with one spouse working and making a six-figure salary are celebrating across the country? Why? It’s a major victory for this wealthy minority group. With income splitting, these rich families will save up to $2,000 per year, which means they can potentially take another family member on holiday to Mexico or buy more caviar or lease another Audi. I’m being facetious and have probably raised the blood pressure of many conservatives across the country. In the interest of full disclosure, my family, while certainly not in the above minority group, would benefit moderately from income splitting. But I’m not a fan. Cost versus benefit suggests income splitting will suck a lot of money from the government coffers, spreading tax savings thinly across the population, without generating much in the way of economic drive. It also leaves most families out in the cold. On the surface, income splitting doesn’t seem like a bad thing. Essentially, twoparent families with children under 18, where one parent makes more money than the other, can combine their incomes and save on their taxes. Fans of the policy say, “hey, my wife’s home with the kids and I’m making the equivalent of two incomes, why shouldn’t we save a few bucks?” Okay, but, as my first paragraph suggests, the true beneficiaries of income-splitting are the rich, suggesting
per month for the poorest families and $2,000 for the highest income earners isn’t significant enough to offer choice to anyone. A government should reflect the values and the needs of the nation. If we’re paying taxes, our taxes should go toward programs and policies that will improve the lives of the collective and generate economic growth. Income splitting fails on both counts.
Canada’s economy. I liken income splitting to the two per cent GST cut, a popular election promise that helped the Conservatives win their first government in 2006, but one that cost a lot and generated very little. As much as the Conservatives would like to think that income splitting offers families choice – ie: the choice to have one parent stay home with children or work fewer hours than their spouses -- $9

Christmas extravaganza to take stage in Alta Vista Concert will generate fresh-food funds for community food bank Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Community - A small concert that began out of a desire to connect choirs, help those in the community and share the Christmas spirit features about 100 voices 23 years later. “I believe we still follow this mandate,” said Francine Brisebois, director of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Choir. “We want to sing with other groups to help put people in the Christmas spirit.” The Alta Vista Christmas Concert, which will take place at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church on Dec. 14 – now in its 23rd year – is a year-round labour of love for the choir members under the helm of Brisebois, an Orléans resident. “You’d have to know our Francine,” said Joslyn Brodeur, a Carson Meadows resident and Immaculate church assistant choir director and soloist. “Francine was planning the next concert as we sang the closing notes of the last concert. It’s really 12 months of planning.” Planning for the event ramps up around Easter every year. Participating vocalists and musicians start the process early on of learning new music. And there is significant co-ordination required to en-
sure the evening runs smoothly, the decorations are in place and ushers and greeters stand at the ready. “I would say it’s a parish event,” Brisebois said, adding the Immaculate church parish women also help by providing refreshments in the parish hall following the musical showcase. Various choirs have joined the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church Choir in singing at the Christmas event over the years. The 35-member Ottawa Wind Ensemble orchestral group became involved about five years ago and will once again perform this year. Last year, the Kanata Choral Society debuted, and is returning this year. “They called Francine and said, ‘We hear you have a nice Christmas show. Can we be part of it?’” McGurrin recalled. Likewise, La Musique Vocale, the junior choir from Lowertown East’s De La Salle French public secondary school, featuring students in grades 8 to 10, will take the stage for the second consecutive year. The evening’s performances will also include the talents of tenor soloist Zachary Rubens. “Imagine about 100 singers,” Brodeur said of the musical night. The choirs will each take turns in the spotlight, and then they will come together with the Ottawa Wind Ensemble to perform the Hallelujah chorus. “And then the roof does sort of fly off,” said Helen McGurrin, a Riverview Park resident and longtime Immaculate parish and choir member.

The Christmas season comes alive to the sounds of the Alta Vista Christmas Concert last year. The Immaculate Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church is preparing to host its 23rd annual concert, which will feature about 100 vocalists as well as musicians on Dec. 14. “It’s a great way to launch the season,” added Brodeur. Those in the audience will also have the opportunity to sing Christmas carols, while the different choirs rotate on and off stage. Carols will include timeless favourites, such as
“Little Town of Bethlehem,” “Joy to the World” and “In the Bleak Midwinter.” Over the years the concert has evolved to include solo performances, an instrumental component and today features a bilingual element
– half of the Immaculate choir members can sing in French and English, the De La Salle students will also sing in French. “I’m very proud of that,” said Brisebois. “So I would say the Immaculate Heart of Mary is an English parish, but we try and make it as much a community (event) as possible. And to have the bilingual touch adds (to it).” The concert also provides the Catholic church and its supporters with another way to give back to the community. While admission to the concert is free, voluntary monetary donations are collected that night in support of the Heron Emergency Food Centre, a food bank that serves southeast Ottawa. The two-hour musical showcase has generated tens of thousands of dollars in donations over the years, allowing the food centre to purchase fresh food for those in need. A few years ago parishioners got a head start on fundraising for the food centre by knocking on doors in September, long before the December concert. That pre-concert initiative has continued each year. “We wanted it to be a benefit,” Brodeur said of the community concert. “It serves the community in that we can hopefully get fresh food for the people at Christmas,” said McGurrin. The Immaculate Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church is located at 1758 Alta Vista Dr. Doors to the event open at 2:15 p.m., and the singing gets underway at 3 p.m.

Ottawa fire chief to retire
Gas Tax Funding Fuels Transit Growth
Staff
Last week, I was proud to announce that the Ontario government is providing Ottawa $33.7 million in gas tax funding to help expand and improve their public transit.
News - Ottawa is on the hunt for a new fire chief. Chief John deHooge, who has served as the head of the Ottawa Fire Service for five years, announced on Nov. 13 that he will retire at the end of January. DeHooge began his 35-year career as deputy fire chief for the Town of Oakville before becoming the fire
In total, Ontario will be providing $321.5 million to municipalities across Ontario this year to improve public transit. Since 2003, the permanent Ontario Gas Tax Program has provided almost $330 million to support transit in Ottawa to: Purchase articulated buses, improve transit corridor protection, build a new maintenance garage, and support the construction of the Confederation Line, the largest transit project in Ottawa’s history.
Manotick Watermain Link Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the construction of a new watermain to the Village of Manotick. The Manotick Watermain Link will provide needed redundancy and reliability to the Manotick community, the potential for current residents on private wells to have access to the central water supply and will also provide additional capacity to service new planned developments. The Class EA determined the preferred solution is to construct a new watermain from Summerhill Street in the Riverside South Community and extend south on River Road where it will cross the Rideau River at the north end of Walter Upton-Collins Park to the south end of David Bartlett Park. The route will continue south along Bravar Drive, Long Island Road and Van Vliet Road to a second crossing of the Rideau River channel and connect to Antochi Lane. The route will continue west on Antochi Lane and connect to an existing watermain on Manotick Main Street.
Vision Care for Children
The study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements for Schedule B projects under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000), as amended 2007 & 2011. A Project File Report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, identification and evaluation of alternatives and the selection of the preferred solution as well as public and agency consultation. The Report is available for public review at the following locations for a period of 30 calendar days, starting on Thursday, November 13, 2014.

According to the city, DeHooge oversaw many initiatives, including enhancing workplace inclusion, developing a mental-health awareness program, improving staff communications and bolstering relationships with partners like the police and paramedics through a joint emergency operations advisory group. Under deHooge’s watch, the Ottawa Fire Service became the largest composite fire service to be recognized by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International.
Notice of Completion
Expanding public transit is part of the government’s economic plan for Ontario. The four part plan is building Ontario up by investing in people’s talents and skills, building new public infrastructure like roads and transit, creating a dynamic, supportive environment where business thrives, and building a secure savings plan so everyone can afford to retire.

Sports - As a high school teacher, Dean Prigent is all too familiar with the sight of skeptical expressions on the faces of his Grade 9 physical education students. These are typically earned when the St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School teacher
and phys-ed department head announces they’re about to try a new sport, or a new twist on a traditional sport. Such was the case when Prigent recently introduced his students to Birdie ball, which allows participants to practice striking a modified golf ball. While some had never before tried the sport, a num-
ber of other boys in Prigent’s classes know their way around a golf course. “You give this system to a golfer (and) at first they look at it with a raised eyebrow, a Spockian eyebrow,” he said. “‘I don’t know if this looks legit. It looks plastic. It looks like a toy,’” he said of some students’ initial reactions. “And then they start to hit (the ball) and they kind of fall in love with it because they can see the benefit.”
Nominations will be accepted until November 30 Contact this newspaper or the Ontario Community Newspapers Association at www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen or 905.639.8720 ext. 221 Sponsored by:

The average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day.
Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.
Why should you be concerned?
Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Teacher and physical education department head Dean Prigent has had his eye on introducing birdie ball to his students at St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School in Riverside South for a couple of years. Since trying the golfing game this semester, his Grade 9 students, including Jackson Bennett, 14, of Riverside South, centre, and Emmett Vezina, 14, also of Riverside South, have enjoyed the activity.
Birdie ball follows on heels of pickleball’s success Continued from page 17
Using real golf clubs, Birdie ball golfers hit specially designed hollow PVC balls off of PVC mats placed on the ground. The goal is to drive the ball into a collapsible basket that can be placed at any distance according to the player’s skill level. Always on the lookout for new products that can entice his students to become more physically active, Prigent discovered Birdie ball two years ago. In June, he successfully applied for grant from the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations Try Day program, and was awarded $700 to purchase 30 Birdie ball mats and more than 400 balls in September. It marks the second time the school has been granted Try Day funding. The first was for the purchase of Pickle Ball equipment. The objective of the program is to help schools introduce a new sport or physical activity. Birdie ball is already living up to Prigent’s expectations and the sport is receiving positive reviews from students. “I thought it was going to be interesting to try something new,” said Grade 9 student Malcolm Wyllie, 14, a Riverside South resident who
has golfed two summers. Birdie ball initially felt funny, “but then when I got the hang of it, it was fun,” he said, adding the portable sets make it easy to golf without having to travel to a course. Grade 9 student Edward Benhim, 14, had never swung a golf club before trying Birdie ball. “Mr. Prigent likes to change sports a lot and make them into different games, to make it a little bit more fun,” said the Hunt Club resident. “Sometimes a sport, with all the rules, it can be a little boring, but this way you can create your own rules and just have fun yourself and that way it’s fun for everyone.” Initially skeptical, Benhim thought golf would be boring. But Birdie ball, he said, changed his mind. “When I actually hit (the ball) for the first time, it was pretty fun.” In addition to boosting self esteem through feeling a sense of accomplishment, the benefits of the sport include being outdoors, providing a physical outlet and giving kids access to a sport who may not be able to afford a day on the links, Prigent said. “You wouldn’t necessarily do it for exercise, but you’re doing it to get as close to the game of golf without playing (18 holes of) golf,” he
said. “And for someone who doesn’t have $40 to pay for a round of golf, doesn’t have three friends to go to a golf course – you come to a physed class, you’re introduced to this. “Some kids have told me that they’re going to buy it.” With every swing of the golf club, Prigent is hopeful his students will get hooked on what he calls a lifetime sport. “It’s great when you do a unit like golf, the kid who doesn’t groove on basketball or floor hockey or the traditional team sports – you put Birdie ball or golf in front of them and the kid becomes a star,” he said, especially kids who golf with their parents, but who don’t usually have the opportunity to shine in their preferred sport during a gym class. The teacher is stilling mulling over possible contenders that could spice up phys-ed programming in the future, such as indoor curling rocks. The school is looking to form a curling team. “The golf became a nobrainer because it hits all the look-fors,” Prigent said, ticking benefits off on his fingers. “Lifetime sport. It’s something that they can do with other people ... and not something so obscure they’ll never see it again.”

Community mailboxes to march into urban postal codes Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - The move to end door-to-door mail delivery will come to Ottawa’s urban neighbourhoods next fall, Canada Post announced Nov. 12. Residents and businesses at 46,710 addresses with postal codes starting with K1T, K1V, K1Z, K2C, K2E, K2G and K2H will switch to group-mailbox delivery in the fall of 2015. Some of the neighbourhoods affected include:
Westboro, Carlington, Central Park, Iris, Fisher Glen, Fisher Heights, Centrepointe, Tanglewood, Trend-Arlington, Leslie Park, Qualicum, Crystal Bay, Bells Corners, Stonebridge, Leitrim, Hunt Club and Riverside Park. The changes stem from a money-saving plan Canada Post announced last December that will see most of the remaining five million Canadians who still have door-todoor mail service – about a third of the population – converted to group delivery by 2015.
New community mailboxes are already in place for approximately 8,000 addresses in Kanata and more of the group mailboxes are coming to Barrhaven early next year. Residents in the affected postal codes will soon receive a survey and information package in the mail. It will include information about how residents can express their “priorities and preferences” about their new delivery method. Comments can also be submitted online at feedback.canadapost.ca.
Using that feedback, Canada Post says it will work with municipal officials to determine suitable locations for new community mailboxes. Residents will receive up to 10 letters or communiques during the process, said Anick Losier, spokeswoman for Canada Post, including a letter informing them of
the proposed location for the community mailbox that would serve them. Canada Post will consider people’s feedback on those sites and could make changes. “In fact, many sites (Canada Post proposed in 2014) were changed based on the feedback from residents and municipalities throughout
the process – in some communities, almost 50 per cent of sites,” Losier wrote in an email. Cost savings will come from workforce reductions due to attrition, Canada Post said. No regular full-time or part-time employees will lose their jobs as a result of the changes.

A call to action
ManUp and I can MANifest change initiatives empower men to help end violence against women Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Man up. It’s a powerful statement of action students at LongfieldsDavidson Heights Secondary School are using to help end violence against women. There are two goals of ManUp: “To get across the message to students, young males in our community, that we need to stop violence against women. To change the idea of what constitutes a man in our society,” said Grade 12 student Ben Noor. “It’s about standing up for what you believe in.” A man will speak up if he hears a sexist or derogatory comment towards women. A man teaches other males about healthy relationships. A man will not stand by if he sees violence happening. A man is not a passive bystander. A man will man up. November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month and Metroland Media will be publishing a number of articles on the subject. This second installment focuses on the role of adult males, young men and boys and what they can do to put an end to gender-based violence. Violence against women isn’t strictly a female issue; initiatives like ManUp – the student-run campaign at LDHSS – and I can MANifest change – a public awareness
program that provides workshops to schools and community groups – are empowering men and boys to help end gender-based violence. “This is an area where women, historically, have been the leaders. All along though, women have been asking men to get involved, to step up and take our share of the leadership,” said Matt Schaaf, coordinator of MANifest change with the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women (OCTEVAW). Violence against women can take many forms: physi-

cal, sexual, verbal, emotional. It’s not limited to a specific culture, income level or community, and it’s pervasive among age groups. Statistics from the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and Statistics Canada show just how insidious the problem is: * Six per cent of Ontario women living in a common-
law or marital relationship report experiencing physical or sexual assault by their partner. * One in three Canadian women have experienced sexual assault or psychological, emotional or physical abuse from males. * Four out of 10 Canadian women will experience sexual assault in their lifetimes. * Dating violence is the leading cause of injury to young women. * Of the women between ages of 15 and 19 murdered each year, 30 per cent are killed by their male partner. * Nearly 80 per cent of young women who have been physically abused in their intimate relationships continue to date their partner. * In 92 per cent of all domestic violence incidents, crimes are committed by men against women. While statistics on sexual and physical abuse are more readily available, verbal and emotional violence against women is omnipresent in society and can include sexist and derogatory comments or jokes, as well as street and digital harassment. “As men, we’re not always sure how to get involved. This is where MANifest change comes in – we need to encourage each other,” said Schaaf. “We need to challenge each other because we need to do more.” The ManUp project was

Grade 12 students at Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School created the ManUp project to empower their male peers to become part of the solution in ending violence against women. From left, Rickey Situ, Ben Noor, Elias Papoulias and Stanford Miaro. A second city-wide initiative – I can MANifest change – was launched at the high school on Nov. 5. spurred after a group of male students from LDHSS were invited to city hall to hear two guest speakers talk about the male role in preventing violence against women. One of the speakers was Glen Canning, the father of Rehteah Parsons. The Nova Scotia teen died by suicide after she was reportedly raped by four teenage boys and became the subject of repeated online harassment. Only one of the boys was charged. “Several months ago we
saw Glen Canning speak at city hall. It truly inspired us to start the ManUp initiative,” said Grade 12 student Euan Scoffield. “They were deeply moved,” said teacher Aaron Leach. “They wouldn’t let it go. They started their group to be role models, not bystanders.” Through posters, blogging and Twitter, the students hope to continue spreading the message that violence against women is never ok. They are also in talks with other area
high schools that want to start their own chapters of ManUp. “We’re a group of students that would like to change what it means to be a man. We quickly learned that it’s our role in our society today to make a difference and end violence against women,” said Euan. “We never would have imagined how large this project really has become. It’s not only impacting our school but our community as a whole.”

The I can MANifest change project was launched at Longfields-Davidson Heights school on Nov. 5. The campaign – a partnership between OCTEVAW, Crime Prevention Ottawa, and the Ottawa Police Service – invites men, male teens, and boys to become engaged in the conversation by uploading their photo to the project’s website along with a personal pledge of how they will support ending violence against women. “On the surface, the campaign’s call to action is for men and boys to upload a selfie and take a pledge. But another show of commitment will happen on the street, in classrooms, during sports practice, and in homes, where they start to challenge the unacceptable behaviours of others towards women,” said Schaaf. “Sexist jokes, abusive relationships, street harassment – it needs to stop and as a bystander, you can help.” Young men are the best role models for other young men, said OCTEVAW public engagement chair Bailey Reid. The ManUp and MANifest change projects are all about empowering them to become part of the solution. “We don’t expect everyone to be a perfect person,” said Grade 12 student Rickey Situ. “We just hope everyone works at being a better person.
“Being a man is just to become a better person.” For more information, visit manifestchange.ca or email men@octevaw-cocvff.ca and follow @ManUpLDHSS on Twitter.
He took a selfie and made a pledge: “I can MANifest change by leveraging my leadership role within the Ottawa Police Service to model the behaviours I expect from those I lead.”
What the Chief of Police says:
What the Mayor says:
Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau was on hand for the I can MANifest change project launch at Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School on Nov. 5. Bordeleau made violence against women prevention one of his top three priorities when he was sworn in two years ago. “As police officers we have a role to play to hold the offenders accountable. There’s also an opportunity to get engaged much before, through prevention. And that’s why this campaign is a great initiative to get men and male youth involved in the issue of violence against women. “At times it may be hard for us as men to see what our role is and how we can intervene. We aren’t the victims, and … the majority of us aren’t the perpetrators. By not being on either side of the issue, we’re actually filling a really important gap between the two sides. Not only can we help support victims, we can also help prevent this violence in the first place.”
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson spoke at the I can MANifest change project launch at Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School on Nov. 5. He said that violence against women often goes unnoticed and the key to eradicating it is through prevention. “This is a problem in our society that we cannot ignore or simply sweep under the carpet. We need to take action … No one should feel threatened emotionally or physically. No one should be hurt emotionally or physically. Violence against women is not welcome in our homes, in our schools, on our streets, in our communities, in our offices. “I can MANifest change is a great program that allows men an active role in advocating against genderbased violence. The program empowers men and boys to challenge violence against women and shows them that they are part of the solution. We can all be positive influences in stopping gender based violence. Take that stand and, in essence, as the students said here, man up.”

Mayor’s Report
Thank You By Jim Watson
On October 27th I was given the great honour of serving as your Mayor for 4 more years. Today, I am writing to say thank you. The support I have received from Ottawa’s residents over the past year has been nothing short of extraordinary. As a candidate for Mayor this year, I canvassed in all 23 wards, participated in more than a half-dozen debates, worked hard to put forward a platform that would move our city forward while living within our means, and all while continuing on with my usual Mayoral duties. What made campaigning so rewarding for me was the chance to speak with Ottawa’s residents 1-on-1 at their doors day after day. My job as Mayor puts me in touch with tens of thousands of residents each year through different events and programs but it doesn’t leave me much time to visit residents at their doorstep to hear their ideas and concerns firsthand. Doing so during the campaign reminded me again how compassionate and diverse our city’s residents are and the support I received at the door was what kept me working hard every day. The campaign, in combination with my job as Mayor, made for some very long days for me and for my campaign team. Despite the positive response we received from the outset, we took nothing for granted and made sure that come election night we could look back and honestly say that we gave it everything we had. As the results came in on election night I felt truly honoured to have received the largest percentage of the votes cast and the highest number of total votes in Ottawa’s amalgamated history. This is a mandate for progress in our city and as I set out to lead this new term of Council I promise not to forget this support. I have been hard at work since the morning after the election finishing this first term while planning the coming four years. These years will see us open the first phase of our LRT system, clean up the Ottawa River, make the key investments in our city’s future while being fiscally responsible in the present, and celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017. I look forward to working collaboratively with my council colleagues to push our great city to new heights. I am forever grateful to be your Mayor and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. Contact: jim.watson@ottawa.ca www.jimwatsonottawa.ca

Thank you for putting your trust in me for 8 years. I would like to thank the residents of Gloucester-South Nepean for making the past eight years as your City Councillor some of the most memorable years of my life. We have accomplished many things, from the widening of Limebank Road, to the opening of Vimy Memorial Bridge. We have cheered our Sens, celebrated anniversaries and milestones, built roads, parks, community buildings and transitways. Since 2006, not only has the ward nearly doubled in size, so has my family. Thank you for the opportunity to be your representative at city hall.

Vimy Memorial Bridge Naming Ceremony It was my honour and pleasure to preside over the Vimy Memorial Bridge Official Naming Ceremony this past November 8th. As the Nation’s Capital, it is fitting to have a name that honours this historic event in our nation’s history. With the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War I, it is a fitting reminder of the sacrifices that our men and women make for us each day. The ceremony was highlighted by a parade over the bridge by the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa. The bridge carries significant historical meaning as it spans the Rideau Canal, a National Historic Site of Canada, a Canadian Heritage River and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and connects two gateways into the Nation’s Capital. I would like to thank everyone who attended this event and I would especially like to recognize the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa, the Vimy Foundation and the Royal Canadian Legion members as well as Ottawa Police Staff Sergeant Brad Hampson, anthem singer for our Ottawa RedBlacks. Their participation in marking this significant day was greatly appreciated. City of Ottawa Salutes Local War Veteran The City of Ottawa recently announced the latest recipient of the Veterans’ Commemorative Street Naming program. This year the City is honouring its first female recipient, Helen Rapp, who served with distinction in the Canadian Women’s Army Corp, Directorate of Signals from 1942 to 1946. Helen Rapp was born in Shumacher, Ontario on July 25, 1925, and passed away in Ottawa on August 22, 2013. The new street, Helen Rapp Way, was dedicated in the Findlay Creek community. Outdoor Rink Maintenance Local outdoor winter ice rinks are maintained by volunteers in the community with support from the local community associations and the City of Ottawa. Without the help from local volunteers the community ice rinks would not be operational. If you are interested in assisting with local ice rink maintenance and operations in Findlay Creek and Riverside South, please contact your respective community associations. High school students are also reminded that this provides a great opportunity to earn more volunteer hours towards fulfilling their mandatory 40 volunteer hours of community service.

both sides can meet. “I’m still holding out (hope) that we can get some kind of negotiated settlement to this thing,” he said. “We’re hoping that cooler heads will prevail and we get some common sense in bartering and get back to the table and solve this, where we should be. “Nothing we’re asking for is outrageous here. We understand the times and the climate we’re in.” Merrett said the centre is waiting for the union to make the next move. “Like the union, the RA wishes to enter into a collective agreement,” Merrett said. “However, after over six months of collectively bargaining with Unifor, it is still unable to understand, let alone address the union’s true concerns and demands. “ All of the association’s locations will continue to operate, and provide members with access to more than 50 activities, 25 clubs and sport-league play, said Merrett. With more than 22,000 active members, the RA Centre is the largest private not-for-profit recreation and leisure association in the country.

“ramping up” efforts, including the prospect of a strike, to pressure the RA to settle, the RA will take steps to ensure that all members continue to have access to their programs and services.” Further evidence of the rift between the parties was aired Monday with the centre saying 33 employees, or 10 per cent of its workforce, are impacted, not 55 as stated by the union. Unifor said while it presented the employer early on with its requests around monetary compensation – the details of which the union declined to reveal – and contract language around employee provisions, the centre presented its initial final offer the day the three-year collective bargaining agreement expired in May prior to any negotiations. That offer was turned down. Long-time centre staff have told union officials morale is at an all-time low at the recreation complex. “It’s just the frustration amongst the people. I’ve never seen it this bad,” Armstrong said, but declined to provide examples. Despite the breakdown in negotiations, and though no future bargaining meetings have been scheduled, Armstrong hopes

Mystery signs warn trucks to stay on proper routes New signs on Earl Armstrong Road remind truck drivers to stick to approved truck routes Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - A number of signs restricting trucks popped up around Osgoode ward in the first week of November, bewildering residents and local councillors alike.
The pictorial signs remind trucks to stay off roads that aren’t designated truck routes. On Thursday, Nov. 6, city staff placed the notices on eastbound Earl Armstrong Road to stop trucks from continuing straight or turning south onto Limebank Road. More signs showed up along Mitch Owens and Rideau Roads, both east-west truck routes, restricting turns onto Bowesville, Limebank and Spratt roads, all north-south nontruck routes. The signs don’t change the truck route at all, just mark inappropriate roads more clearly, as the only road

that legally connects trucks to Earl Armstrong from Rideau and Mitch Owens is River Road. Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson said he has no idea who asked city staff to put them there. “I was never informed, there was never anything that came out saying ‘we’re going to do this,’” Thompson said. “It’s one of the few times I’m at a loss for words.” A written statement from the city’s media department, attributed to traffic services manager Phil Landry, said the signs come after “concerns from area residents that truck drivers were using roads not part of the designated truck route,” the statement said. “City staff identified the need to install the appropriate signage to guide drivers. The signs were installed to reinforce that these streets are not part of the designated truck route.” But not everyone is buying it. “I cannot believe that every single road had a substantial amount of complaints to warrant a blanket covering of signs,” said Klaus Beltzner, president of the Manotick Village and Community Association. He and other residents have suggested it’s an underhanded attempt to get unwanted local trucks off the new Vimy Memorial Bridge, which connects communities in Gloucester
South-Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches’ ward across the Rideau River. “My perception is the city is going out of its way to prevent trucks to getting to the Strandherd bridge from rural Ottawa, from Osgoode ward,” Beltzner said. “All of a sudden every single street, at the same time, they put up these signs. So what message does this give to people driving trucks. You’re enforcing something that wasn’t necessarily being enforced in the past.” The worry is that the new signs will push truck traffic back into the village of Manotick, just as residents get used to a major reduction in traffic since the summer – something Rideau-Goulbourn Scott Moffatt rejects. “I have no evidence to suggest that it will,” Moffatt said. “Those roads have always been non-truck routes.” While Thompson said he doesn’t believe the move has malicious intent, he’s certainly confused. “The only signs that our office worked on are for Bowesville Road,” he said, explaining that residents there have been complaining about illegal trucks on the residential stretch since the new bridge opened. But the other roads haven’t had complaints, at least not that he’s heard. “I don’t like this, all of a sudden
these signs going up.” Moffatt also didn’t have much information about where the signs came from, as they are all posted outside his ward – but he didn’t disagree with their presence in principle. “We need to stick trucks to truck routes,” Moffatt said, noting that the real solution is for the city to finally fund a city-wide truck route study. “If we can go through and do a truck route study, then we’re good to go. .... And if roads need to be improved then we’ll look at that.” The study was put on hold for years while the city tried to wrangle out a deal for an inter-provincial bridge downtown. That project has now been canned in favour of a possible truck tunnel in the downtown core. According to a statement from transportation planning manager Vivi Chi, the truck route study isn’t coming any time soon. “Should the tunnel study conclude that a truck tunnel through the downtown is feasible/practical to construct, and should council decide to proceed with the next step of planning, then a detailed environmental assessment study would be undertaken,” she said. “Until such milestones are reached, it would be premature to initiate a network-wide truck route study.” R0012850759

St. Mark students collect 60,000 cans for local charities Annual food drive has donated 1.25 million food items in 27 years Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - Students at St. Mark High School in Manotick collected an average of 60 cans each over a 10-day food drive blitz this fall, securing their title as a top food drive school in the English Catholic board. Between Oct. 24 and Nov. 3, the students brought in 60,165 canned food items and about $1,000 in cash. Half the cans have already been delivered to the Ottawa Food Bank, and another 20,000 items will go to the Shepherds of Good Hope. The remaining 10,000 cans will be shared among local food cupboards including a pantry at Waupoos Family Farm and another at the Manotick United Church. And, for the first time, the school will also send $750 to Centre 454, a downtown drop-in service for the homeless run by the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa. The remaining $250 will be used for local Christmas hampers and to support Dr. F.J. McDonald Catholic School located near Britannia Park. While this year’s haul is smaller than the school’s record set in 2007, when students collected more than 78,000 cans, St. Mark food drive director and religion teacher Terry Amadio said the school population has shrunk considerably since then. Per capita, this year’s collection is
nothing short of impressive, he said. “It was one of our most successful years of all time,” Amadio said. “It’s staggering.” Samantha Ingram, communications co-ordinator for the Ottawa Food Bank, said St. Mark’s annual donation is one of the largest they receive. “We’re always sort of in awe when we receive the food,” she said. “It’s a student-run thing, and it’s an incredible effort on the part of the students and the staff.” This year’s gift weighed more than 14,000 kilograms – 4,500 kilograms more than last year. And that’s good news, as recent statistics show the food bank’s list of clientele has increased by five per cent since last year. “We now know that we provide food for 51,000 people per month, and 37 per cent are children,” Ingram said. The Christmas season is always busy – there’s an expected annual uptake in donations and volunteers as the spirit of generosity sets in, Ingram said. But she said the demand for food also starts to go up around this time. “It’s getting colder outside, so hydro and gas bills tend to get bigger,” she said. “As you’re trying to keep up with those bills, unfortunately groceries get put on the backburner. It’s the easy one to put on hold, because if you don’t pay your hydro bill, you don’t have hydro.” GROUP EFFORT
Over the past 27 years, the St. Mark community has gained a reputation for putting its heart and soul
SUBMITTED
The winning class in St. Mark High School’s annual food drive, Terry Amadio’s Gr. 12s, brought in 2,700 cans this year. The school collected more than 60,000 food items this year, breaking a record for number of cans per student. into its annual food drive. “Every school has their thing, and kids know that when they go to St. Mark they’re going to collect cans,” Amadio said. And collect, they do: the school has donated more than 1.25 million items to local charities since it started the program 27 years ago. Amadio’s Grade 12 class won the friendly school-wide competition for most cans per student, bringing in a whopping 2,700 cans. Only student council, a group of seven students, bested them, bringing in nearly 450 cans each for a 3,000-can donation.
Council co-president Cole Haggar said he’s visited Shepherds of Good Hope in the past, and it inspires him to live up to the school’s reputation as the ultimate can collector. “We can look at it from someone else’s point of view, how fortunate we are that we have food to eat,” he said. That also seemed to work for the school’s Grade 9 students, who for the first time had tours of the shelters and organizations St. Mark supports and as a result had one of its best showings ever in the food drive blitz. “They came back realizing we
need to help out,” Amadio said. That program was so successful, it will be incorporated into future campaigns, he added. St. Mark has also bumped up its involvement with Dr. F.J. McDonald Catholic School in Britannia. The rural high school treats the urban elementary school as its “little brother,” Amadio said, supporting the large number of students living below the poverty line whenever it can. That includes donating food items to the school’s in-house food cupboard to hosting communal lunch days.

Farmers market back at Lansdowne for holiday season New winter market to start up in January Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Starting on Nov. 30, the Ottawa Farmers’ Market vendors will be coming home. After three years in exile during the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park, the market will return to the Aberdeen Pavilion this holiday season with its annual Christmas Market. “We are pretty excited,” said Tara Simpson, spokeswoman for the market. “We are calling it our homecoming.” The summer market, which first started at the park in 2006, shifted over to Brewer Park in 2012 when construction began. In the interim, the annual Christmas market had operated from the Ernst and Young Centre in Ottawa’s south end. Looking forward to the return, Simpson said the park is definitely different from the one the market left three years ago. “The environment in general is
different at Lansdowne, it looks great, and we are happy to go back there,” she said. Simpson did say some things have changed since they were last located in the pavilion, including the lack of parking at the location. To help accommodate patrons, the market will offer a free shuttle service from both the Carleton University and Brewer Park’s during market hours. The shuttles will start at 8 a.m. and run all day. According to the organization, the majority of the market’s vendors will be selling their wares in the Aberdeen Pavilion this holiday season, as well as the organization has sent out invites to other local famers and vendors to fill the space. A full list of participating vendors will be made available at ottawafarmersmarket.ca. The Christmas market will span three weeks leading up to Christmas and Simpson said the festive environment will include live music during market hours, tastings and holiday displays set up. For the grand opening on Nov. 30, Simpson said there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony, hot cider and
holiday deserts from vendors available. WINTER MARKET
For the first time, the Ottawa Farmers’ Market will host a winter market, beginning Jan. 11. This is something Simpson said the organization has wanted to do for a long time and finally have the opportunity. “We have been looking for years to give producers the opportunity to sell year round,” she said. “Having this market in place will allow farmers the chance to expand their product. We needed the right facility and now we have it.” The market will operate on Sundays in the pavilion from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. In May, the market will return outdoors, operating in the pavilion square.
Lansdowne’s Aberdeen Pavilion hosts a Christmas Market on Nov. 30 and Dec. 7 and 14.

Hand-me-down box contained treasures
T
he hand-me-down box had arrived from Regina. At least twice a year, Aunt Lizzie sent the big wood crate that at one time held bulk tea. Always boy’s clothes -- she had two sons. Never anything in it for my sister Audrey or me. We didn’t expect anything, so we weren’t disappointed. Well, really, there was sometimes something for me, but it wasn’t anything I looked forward to. It was a small cardboard box, with my name written in ink, and inside were horrible brown laced boy’s brogue shoes. I was the only one they would fit, and I hated them with a passion. Sure enough, there was the cardboard box, right on top of the mounds of hand-me-down clothes, that at one time had graced the backs of my very rich cousins out in Regina. Mother had situated herself in front of the box to unpack

Once, my brothers were allowed this job, but after one glorious, dragged out, bloody fight over an alpaca sweater, the boys had to sit on the floor while mother took out everything, from Uncle Jack’s well worn suits, felt hats, flatted out from the packing, and men’s shirts of every description. Mother warned my brothers if there was one word of arguing over who got what, the box would have its lid nailed back on and the whole thing dragged out to the summer kitchen. Often Aunt Lizzie would tuck in a piece of new material for Mother, knowing full well it would be put to good
use, or there would be one of her purses that looked like it had just come out of the showcase of an elegant store. Audrey and I had settled ourselves at the kitchen table thumbing through Eaton’s catalogue. Father, as usual, not the least bit interested in the box, had moved to the rocking chair by the Findlay Oval with the Family Herald and Weekly Star. Mother, as organized as ever, placed the clothes in matching piles, so there was a heap of sweaters, shirts, pants, and an assortment of odds and ends she would find a use for. Nothing was wasted. Audrey and I paid scant at-
tention to the box or what was being taken out of it. Then Emerson asked, “What is it?” Mother said it was a raincoat. I glanced over to the centre of the kitchen floor where all the action was taking place. None of us owned a raincoat, for heaven’s sake. If we got wet walking to or from school, we got wet, and that was the simple truth. Mother held it up. “It looks like it was made for a midget,” Everett said, obviously very relieved it would never fit him. As one, four pairs of eyes left the box and settled on me at the kitchen table. “Oh no,” I wailed, “I’m not wearing that to the Northcote School.” Bad enough that I had to wear boy’s shoes that came from Regina. Mother told me to go over and try it on. It was as black as a boot, and stiff, boy was it stiff, with big silver clips all down
the front of it. “Be great for Halloween. Too bad it’s over,” Emerson snorted. I prayed on the way over to the pile of clothes that it wouldn’t fit me. Mother fed my arms into the coat, did up the clips and declared it a perfect fit. The inside was exactly like the underside of our oilcloth on the kitchen table. I told her I was smothering in it. I told her I couldn’t bend my arms. I told her it smelled just like the tires on the Model T. I told her I would rather be caught dead than be seen in something called a raincoat that I’d never even heard of before. As happened so often in my young life, my sister Audrey saved the day by saying I wouldn’t have to worry about it anyway, because winter was just around the corner, and I would soon be in my melton cloth pants and jacket. “Nobody wears a raincoat in the wintertime,” she said. “And by next spring you will have grown at least a foot, I’d say, and it won’t fit you anyway.” Well, Mother wasn’t about
to waste a perfectly good piece of clothing that came in the hand-me-down box. She hated mice with a passion, and even though everything was battened down in the summer kitchen, like the wood lid on the sauerkraut barrel, and the tin boxes that held frozen pies and cookies, she was never sure the mice couldn’t find a way to invade what would be going into our mouths. The next morning when I went to the summer kitchen to bring in wood for the wood box, as I did every morning, there was the raincoat draped over the sauerkraut barrel, with the round wood lid squeezed tight on top of it, offering further protection from the field mice which came into the summer kitchen to avoid the outside elements. I would never know if Mother used the raincoat on the barrel because she actually feared a mouse would get into the barrel. Just maybe she figured having to wear boys brown brogues to the Northcote School was punishment enough.

Normandy chicken gets unique taste from brandy Lifestyle - Here are beautiful braised chicken breasts flavoured with Ontario mushrooms, apple cider and Calvados (brandy made from apples in Normandy, France). Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 30 minutes. Serves four. Ingredients
• 10 ml (2 tsp) vegetable oil • 250 g (8 oz) cremini mushrooms, sliced • 1 small onion, sliced • 1 clove garlic, minced • 4 boneless chicken breasts •175 ml (3/4 cup) chicken stock • 175 ml (3/4 cup) apple cider or apple juice • 50 ml (1/4 cup) Calvados or brandy (optional) • 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh
thyme • 5 ml (1 tsp) chopped fresh rosemary • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt • 50 ml (1/4 cup) water • 15 ml (1 tbsp) cornstarch Preparation
In large a non-stick skillet, heat five millilitres (one tsp) of oil over medium heat, then add the mushrooms, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often, for five minutes or until softened.
Remove and set aside. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the chicken breasts, and cook until they’re golden brown, about five minutes. Add the vegetables, chicken stock, apple cider, Calvados, thyme, rosemary and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, turning the chicken several times for 12 to 14 minutes or until it is no longer pink inside. Transfer the chicken to a platter and tent with foil. Increase the heat to high and boil the liquid until it is reduced by half – about three to five minutes. Whisk the water with cornstarch and whisk it into the liquid and cook over low heat until the sauce is thickened. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Foodland Ontario

Homelessness forum looks 10 years ahead Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - The Alliance to End Homelessness wants to look ahead 10 years into the future at this year’s homelessness community forum. The annual event is celebrating its 11th year and Mike Bulthuis, executive director for the alliance, said the plan is to focus on what the path ahead needs to be to end homelessness in 10 years. The forum’s theme is based on the city’s dedication to end homelessness in ten years, based on a 10-year plan. Currently in the first year of that cycle, Bulthuis said it’s important the alliance and community members look at the plan and see how it can ensure it is successful. “Some of the approaches of the plan itself will be discussed at the forum,” Bulthuis said. housing first

Taking place on Nov. 26 at Tabaret Hall at the University of Ottawa, the forum will welcome guest speakers Susan McGee of Homeward Trust and Eric Latimer from McGill University. Both will offer first-hand knowledge of what it takes to implement a hous-
Last year, the Ottawa Booth Centre had an occupancy rate of 97 per cent.

The alliance is holding a community forum to discuss best practices on how to do just that this Nov. 26. ing-first model. Bulthuis said both speakers will offer real insight into exactly what needs to be done to ensure the plan is a success. In addition to the guest
speakers, there will also be a panel discussion on understanding vulnerability -- with a focus on Aboriginal, youth and women fleeing from violence. The discussion will cen-
tre on what the barriers are or might be those groups might face in looking for housing. During lunch, Bulthuis said there will be “table talks” where different organizations
can present new programs. “It will be informal discussions about new ideas,” Bulthuis said. The event will feature a different set-up this year, he add-
ed, with multiple workshops taking place at the same time. The intent, Bulthuis said, is to have different focuses for both management, social workers, and front line workers to choose based on their current training. “It will give them options, depending on the work they do in the industry,” he said. The forum will end with McGee, who will be able to speak about another Canadian city which is currently in year seven of a similar 10-year plan to end homelessness. McGee will discuss some lessons which can be learned from such a strategy, which the alliance feels will be of great use to Ottawa to learn. “At the end of the day we want to hold up the plan and have it work, we need to look at what we need to focus on now so that we are successful in the future,” Bulthuis said. He said the current goals are ambitious, but not impossible, and holding annual discussion forums help make the ambitious possible. “We are going to take the information we get from the forum discussions and put it into practice,” Bulthuis said. More information about the forum, including documents after the event is available at endhomelessnessottawa.ca.

Duke’s awards come with a Royal touch Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - A special group of Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
gold level recipients received their awards from Princess Anne on Nov. 10, as she was in Ottawa for a two day royal tour.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award recognizes youth ages 14 to 25 who complete challenges in four divisions – community service, skill
development, physical recreation and adventurous journey. The recognized winners gathered at the Chateau Laurier hotel completed their gold levels, the highest level which follows bronze and silver levels. Ceremonies are held at different times in different parts of the county, but youth from all over Canada travelled to Ottawa for the special ceremony, which saw Princess Anne present the gold award certificates to the youth. Princess Anne is the Queen’s daughter. Mississauga recipient Tracey Thompson, 25, wasn’t able to attend a previous award ceremony in Toronto, but was happy the Princess
was at the ceremony in Ottawa. “I’m thankful I got to come down here and meet the Princess,” Thompson said after the ceremony. Thompson said Princess Anne asked her about her schooling, and she got a chance to tell her about her volunteer work with the Mississauga Food Bank and a senior care facility. For Thompson’s skill development, she completed a life skills program as a first-year student at Sheridan College living in residence, as she uses a wheelchair and has a service dog. At the gold level, award recipients also need to complete a residential project,
such as the marine biology excursion in New Brunswick that Kanata’s Anna Kostyniuk participated in. She said her canoe and portage journey she undertook was one of the hardest things she’d ever done. “By the end of the journey, we were completely drained by satisfied,” she said. Kostyniuk was chosen to speak on behalf of all the award recipients at the ceremony. “Having a member of the Royal Family acknowledge our achievement s is memorable and meaningful for all of us,” she said. “Each of us have undergone our own unique journey to be here today.”

Museum botanist sets off on new mission Scientist to join two-week “Mars” simulation in Utah Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Canadian Museum of Nature botanist Paul Sokoloff is on a mission to Mars. Sokoloff and a team of scientists, including two other Canadians, three other crew members from Russia, the United States and France, will make their way to the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah as the 143rd crew to staff the station. There the team will explore what life on Mars could really be like. “I’ve always been a space nut,” Sokoloff said. The goal is to explore the surrounding terrain and conduct analog space research. In an effort to make the scenario as real as possible, the
crew will be living and working as though they are actually working on Mars. The group will both live and conduct research in an air-tight circular pod and any time they need to step outside to explore the terrain, they will be required to put on a space suit. “It’s like exploring Mars, without leaving Earth,” Sokoloff said. He will serve as the crew’s biologist. He will survey plants in the area and manage a database of all the surrounding flora, fauna and geology. The program is supported by the Mars Society, a not-forprofit organization that funds research into the sustainability of life on Mars. It funds two research sites, on Devon Island, located in Nunavut and the Mars Desert
Research Station in Utah -both were selected based on the geology and terrain of the sites, which provide “Marslike” environments here on Earth. Sokoloff’s team is one of a number of crews being evaluated by the society to see which team can be sent on a one-year mission to the Devon Island Mars simulation site. Psychological tests will be administered before, during and after the mission to help assess the team’s compatibility, leadership skills and cohesion. Ottawa residents can follow Sokoloff’s journey by checking out his blog, canadianmuseumofnature.wordpress. com/author/paulsokoloff or by following him on Twitter at hashtag #MDRS143.

Ottawa’s portion of gas tax money slips Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Ottawa will get less money from the provincial gas tax fund this year, but the city will have an extra $33.7 million to put towards public transit. Last year, the Ontario government made the gas tax fund a permanent annual contribution for municipalities, said Ottawa South MPP John Fraser. Ottawa got around $36 million from the fund in 2013. The formula is based on transit ridership, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said. Local Liberal MPPs and representatives from OC Transpo gathered in the transit
authority’s garage on Industrial Avenue to make the announcement on Nov. 13. The money will go towards “the infrastructure needs of the city, including resources moving forward,” said Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, vice chairman of the city’s transit commission. Troy Charter, assistant general manager of operations with OC Transpo, said the city’s $2.1 billion light-rail transit project currently under construction is one obvious project to funnel the money towards, as is OC Transpo’s bus refurbishment program. The rail line connecting Tunney’s Pasture to Blair station is slated to open in 2018.
The province will dole out $321.5 million in gas-tax money to 96 municipalities across the province.
Local MPPs, including John Fraser of Ottawa South, centre, and OC Transpo officials gathered at the transit authority’s Industrial Avenue garage on Nov. 13 to announce Ottawa’s share of the provincial gas-tax fund.

News - The Rideau Centre’s newest retailer is looking to hire 400 employees before the start of the new year. Nordstrom announced it will be posting positions for its new Rideau Centre store starting Nov. 20. “We’re looking for goal-oriented people who love fashion and want to deliver an exceptional shopping experience to every customer who visits our store – they don’t necessarily need retail experience,” said John Banks, store manager for Nordstrom Rideau Centre. “Nordstrom is a great place to build a career. With this being only our second store in Canada, it’s a great time to get in on the ground floor with our company as we begin our growth across the nation.” The company is looking to fill sales positions in all areas of operations, including women’s,
men’s, and children’s apparel, shoes, accessories, cosmetics, designer, as well as various support positions in alterations, building services, and loss prevention. Additional positions are also available in the store’s restaurant and coffee bar. In October, the store hired 28 department managers and recently brought the sales managers to Seattle and the support managers to Calgary for an eight-week training program. According to Nordstrom, once salespeople have been hired, they will also participate in a training program in Ottawa focused on product knowledge, selling skills, and how to offer Nordstrom customers a great shopping experience. Interviews will begin after Nov. 20, with hiring to take place starting in January 2015. The store will open on March 6, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. Applicants can apply for jobs at careers. nordstrom.com.

Hi! my name is Linda. Binks followed us home in 2005 and has been a part of our family ever since her owners threw her out. During my “adventures in chemoland”, Binks would never leave my side. It’s as if she knew I had a problem. Here is a photo of Binks looking for Santa. Merry Christmas Binks and thank you for the wonderful years you have given me and the support during my cancer years, well, that alone will always be priceless to me.

Microchips: Helping return pets to owners when the unthinkable happens
If your pet goes missing this fall, what are the chances it will find its way home? The Ottawa Humane Society is urging animal owners to take precautions by ensuring that if their dog or cat becomes lost, it has the best possible chance of a safe return with a microchip. Every month, hundreds of stray animals are brought to the OHS. Sadly, many have no identification, which makes it difficult for shelter staff to find

their owners. A microchip provides a permanent, non-removable means of pet identification that will not fade or be lost over time. The microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under the skin and is virtually painless. Each microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned and read at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost
pet has been found. The OHS holds microchip clinics every month for which you can register by calling 613725-3166 ext. 221 or e-mail microchip@ottawahumane.ca. Microchipping your pet at the OHS costs $50 and $25 for each additional pet, a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. All proceeds benefit the animals at the OHS. For more information, please visit www.ottawahumane.ca.
Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

News - Every Thursday night, something pretty awesome is happening in the halls of Viscount Alexander Public School. For the past eight weeks more than 60 Strathcona Heights children have stayed at the school to participate in the Awesome Arts workshops, where children aged five to 18 years have been learning how to drum, dance, sing, write and perform poetry, create animation and shadow theatre productions. So far the results have been quite spectacular and next week the participants will be ready to share their new talents with the rest of the city. The seventh annual Awesome Arts Festival will take place at the school on Nov. 28, offering parents and community members the opportunity to see just how awesome teaching arts to children can be. The festival is a program from MASC, a multicultural arts organization which teaches students different forms of arts and cultures in schools. To date, the Awesome Arts pro-
Centre, which applied and received funding from Telus Community Boards and the city. Gerald Dragon, a youth worker at the community resource centre, said the focus on arts in schools and after school programming is becoming sparse, so he was happy to find funding to support this program. “It’s been tons of fun,” Dragon said. “All the workshops are at their capacity.” Based on the enthusiasm shown by the students, he is already looking ahead to find funding to support something similar next year too. The festival will be hosted by spoken word poet and musician Jamaal Jackson Rogers and the evening will also include performances from beat-boxer and musician Julia Dales and Ottawa-based rapper Peter Joynt. The children’s performances will range from singing, drumming and theatre and animation. Some of the stories will be based on stories from the community. The free festival begins at 6:30 p.m. More information about the event or the program is available at shchc.ca.
