Upgrades planned for Dundonald Park Colourful painted benches, new play equipment and a bulletin board planned for this year Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Centretown’s Dundonald Park is set to get some functional artwork this summer. The Centretown Community Health Centre and the Ottawa Art Gallery are currently accepting ideas for designs that will be painted on benches.

The project to brighten up the park has been in the works for more than two years, when the community health centre partnered with consulting firm 8-80 Cities to find ways to improve the park and make it a healthier, happier and more vibrant green space that’s well used by residents.

this spring. The exhibition is created by Body Worlds – the preservation of human bodies travelling exhibition company – and will show off plasticized animals’ blood vessels, muscles , skeleton and internal organs. The biology of approximately

100 specimens, representing about 50 animals – from goats to giraffes, birds to bulls, and octopi to ostriches, and even humans will be on display. The exhibition will open on May 1, only two days before the end of the museum’s current exhibition, Arctic Voices. “With excitement, we literally shed our skin in late spring to pres-

ent the extraordinary exhibition, Animal Inside Out, for the first time in Canada,” said Meg Beckel, president of the museum. “It’s going to be an amazing year.” OTHER EXHIBITIONS

Ottawa West News - Thursday, January 1, 2015

“The focus has mostly been on bringing activities to the park. But now that the group is well established, we can now take on bigger projects like this one,” said Emilie Sartoretto, spokeswoman for the community health centre. Painting the benches, which line the century-old park, is one of the main recommendations of 8-80 Cities’ Make Places for People report, and it’s a popular goal within the community, Sartoretto wrote in an email. The goal is to paint 10 benches at the beginning of June 2015 during a community painting day led by staff from the Ottawa Art Gallery, Sartoretto said. Lots of suggestions are already pouring in, but neighbours are encouraged to add their own suggestions by posting on the Dundonald Park working group’s Facebook page, facebook.com/ParcDundon-

aldPark, or emailing dundonaldpark @centretownchc.org. The design concepts will also be posted on the Facebook page when they are ready later this spring. The city’s parks and recreation department is involved with the project as well, but a potential budget and sources for funding and supplies are still being ironed out. More colourful benches aren’t the only improvements in the works for Dundonald Park. Also under discussion are additional children’s play equipment, repair and replacement of the heritage benches, the addition of a box to contain a hose and tools for gardening and a new community bulletin board and plaque commemorating the Community Leadership Award given to the community by 880 Cities. All those projects are set to get underway this spring, Sartoretto said. The city is funding the work, but the amount of money to be spent has not been finalized.

City to look at bringing back meeting minutes

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli wants to city to review the cost of bringing back detailed written minutes in addition to the audio and video records. takes longer to listen through an audio recording than it would to perform a simple text search for a relevant word. Egli said he heard some concerns about the change in 2011 and those concerns were still an issue on the campaign trail during the municipal election this fall, so he submitted an inquiry to have staff review the matter before April of 2015. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, the new chairwoman of the planning committee, suggested staff also look at any improvements that could be made to make the audio archive system more user-friendly. The potential cost of bringing back written minutes is a concern, Egli said. Eliminating meeting summaries was estimated to save about $170,000 each year,

mostly due to the reduction in staff time needed to prepare the meeting minutes. When the change was made in 2011, the clerk’s office told council that adding audio records would cost $25,900 a year in IT staff time and storage costs – a reduction of $144,100 from the written format. The city also spent an extra $69,500 to upgrade the audio systems in council chambers and the Champlain Room, where committee meetings are held. There is no legal requirement for the city to provide a detailed synopsis of a discussion at a meeting in addition to the action minutes. However, the city would still provide written transcriptions of the audio of a meeting if requested due to accessibility concerns such as a hearing impairment.

Selling in 2015? Avoid these critical home seller mistakes Ottawa - A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money. This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of

homesellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and - worse - financially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market. As this report uncovers, most homesellers make 7 deadly mistakes that cost them literally thousands of dollars. The good news is that each and every one of these mistakes is entirely preventable. In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a

Coun. Keith Egli is concerned that eliminating fulltext records of discussions at city council and committee meetings is making it more difficult for residents to be active in civic life. In 2011, Egli was one of several councillors who voted against a move to eliminate what are called “synopsis minutes” – detailed accounts of the presentations, delegations, discussion and voting record for items on city committee and council agendas. City council axed the written records anyways and instead chose to keep audio recordings of the meetings. Now, Egli wants to know how much it would cost to have the detailed written accounts resurrected. “We want people to participate in local government,” Egli said. “One of the ways we can do that is to track what is said, what the votes are in an easy format.” The concerns he has heard from the public aren’t about a lack of transparency, Egli said, but rather about making it easier for residents to stay engaged and follow along with issues that affect them. When the detailed minutes were axed in 2011, councillors like Egli pointed out that it

Parents to blame for princess-obsessed toddlers

love it when children play make-believe. We have a chest of costumes in the basement that have been the source of many creative theatrics in our house. With boxes of beads and glue and paint and sparkles, our house is frequently cluttered with crafts in various stages of completeness. As for my son who’s been asking for drums for every gift-giving occasion for years, he finally gave up and made his own drum set, complete with cymbals. No real drum set can match the brass base from an old lamp, my oversized soup pot lid, some large coffee cans and various storage bins. All children have the potential for limitless imaginings,

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse which is why I don’t comprehend the so-called princessobsessed generation of girls. It’s so limiting. My daughter is 2.5-yearsold. She is smack in the middle of the toddler demographic that was the subject of a New York Times column in December: “How to turn your princess-obsessed toddler into a feminist in eight easy steps.” In the blog, author Devorah

Blachor writes a list of eight fairy tale scenarios where little girls can be encouraged to think about the gender imbalance described. It’s very tongue-in-cheek, as the following sample demonstrates: “Wonder aloud, what with Cinderella’s history as a cleaner, if she and Prince Charming are likely to share the division of labor in their home. Remark that, if the

immaculate state of his white gloves is anything to go by, it’s difficult to imagine that he ever takes out the garbage.” I read through the column without cracking a smile. I read through various reactionary Tweets, Facebook posts and online comments with a frown. Parents moaned about their preschool-aged daughters’ complete and utter obsession with pink and princesses. Many asked for or offered advice on how to diminish the “inevitable” princess craze. It was frequently said there was nothing parents could do to deter a two-year-old girl from acting like a princess. I was left in utter disbelief. First and foremost, I believe wholeheartedly that the princess obsession is a cultural construct, which means it isn’t inevitable. Girls who are obsessed with pink and princesses have been exposed overwhelmingly to pink and princesses by the adults

around them. And while Blachor lays the fault on Brothers Grimm, I don’t buy this either. Toddlers are more likely to be on iPads or watching Disney than they are reading centuries-old fairy tales. So if your daughter refuses to wear anything but taffeta, take a closer look at what she’s watching. To propagate the idea that we, as parents, need to provide an antidote to princess culture in 2015 is disturbing, to say the least. If your child’s only exposure to morals and values is through the rose-coloured glasses of Cinderella-comeroyalty, you may want to reconsider discussions around the dinner table. Yes, parents, if your toddler is obsessed with princesses, like it or not, you are to blame. Just to throw you off, however, I don’t see anything wrong with little girls liking princesses, dressing up like them or acting like them. I

don’t take issue with dolls – not even unrealistically constructed Barbie, whom I adored as a child. I don’t think any of these things, on their own, will destroy our children’s self-esteem, intelligence or understanding of gender norms. My daughter has a play tent that looks like a pink princess castle. She now owns my copy of Sleeping Beauty, adapted in the 1970s by a non-feminist author. But I don’t fear for her morals. I don’t worry that she’ll anticipate relationships according to Disney – mainly because she doesn’t yet have a relationship with the latter. She’s got princesses, but she’s also got farm animals and Lego (not “girl Lego”) and a collection of dresses and jeans in a wide range of colours. Parenting is ultimately a vanity exercise – I don’t want my kids to be like me; I want them to be better than like me. I want my daughter to know that feminism comes in many shades. Princesses are okay as part of her creative process. But princess obsessed? Not in my castle.

The City of Ottawa has initiated an Environmental Assessment Study to develop an approved plan to extend the City’s existing diesel-powered O-Train service from Greenboro Station to Riverside South (Bowesville Road), as well as a branch line to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport and new or relocated stations at Gladstone Avenue, Confederation Heights and Walkley Road.

The study is being undertaken in accordance with the transit project assessment process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects.

The plan will include options to serve the growing communities of Riverside South and Leitrim, the Airport and adjacent lands, as well as new or relocated stations at Gladstone Avenue, Confederation Heights and Walkley Road on the existing O-Train line. The plan also allows for a future conversion to electric light rail transit (LRT) technology. The O-Train extension is one of three environmental assessment studies underway as part of Stage 2, the City’s plan to extend the beneﬁts of rail to residents further east, west and south that will add 19 new stations and 35 kilometres to our LRT network. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call 3-1-1 or e-mail the project lead below before the event.

Year in review The past year for Ottawa West News has been a busy one. This week we looks back at some of the most interesting stories from the second half of 2014.

July Mizrahi saga continues The developer that sought to build a 12-storey luxury condo on the corner of Wellington Street West and Island Park Drive launched an appeal regarding the proposal to the Ontario Municipal Board. The move was anticipated in the wake of statements by company president Sam Mizrahi following the city’s rejection of the proposal in early May. The property at 1445-1451 Wellington St. W., currently home to a car wash, was the subject of several failed proposals in the past. Complicating any attempt to develop the site is the fact

the ground is heavily contaminated from past uses, requiring expensive soil remediation. Consultation continued as the project’s form was finalized, included the presentation of two choices of building – a nine-storey one that would fit in with the existing community design plan and still create an acceptable financial return for the company, or a taller one that would preserve green space and design elements. Residents, for the most part, favoured the taller proposal. Mayor Jim Watson and planning committee chairman Peter Hume opposed that plan, however, and sought to hold the developer to the limitations of the CDP. Wellington West declared bike-friendly business area If you saw more cyclists on the roads in and around Wellington West Village this summer, it wasn’t your imagi-

nation. More people were getting around on two wheels, and the local business community took note – and action – to further encourage a bikefriendly environment. Their efforts netted the Wellington West Business Improvement Area a “cycling friendly business district” designation from the Ontario By Bike Network. This was the first designation handed out in the province by the new initiative, which is a project of Transportation Options, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering bike use in Ontario. The BIA gained a significant piece of bike infrastructure last summer in the form of a bike corral, a mobile parking structure for cyclists that takes up one on-street parking spot. Part of a city pilot project, the business association pressured the city to add a corral in their area. Turn to page 10

Toasting a city’s triumphs

he year 2014 was a time of transition for Ottawa, a time of triumphs, tragedy and growth. The city welcomed the opening of two long-awaited bridges, elected a new city council and provincial government, with the promise of a federal election soon to come. We looked on in horror, when a gunman murdered Cpl. Nathan Cirillo while he was standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Oct. 22. It was the year of the bridge, as south-end residents celebrated the opening of the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge, which was later named Vimy Memorial Bridge. The city also finally cut the ribbon to signal the completion of the Airport-Parkway pedestrian and cycling bridge, an over-budget project with several construction delays to the frustration of residents and south-end city councillors. In October, we elected a new city council, saying goodbye to a few long-term incumbents and welcoming a new group of councillors armed with a

fresh vision for Ottawa. It was a year of the return of the Canadian Football League, as sports fans cheered the Ottawa RedBlacks at a newly re-constructed stadium at Lansdowne Park. The National Arts Centre will receive a major facelift, courtesy of a $110-million investment from the federal government and the city approved plans for a new Arts Court, complete with an expanded Ottawa Art Gallery. Construction will continue this year, and the decade to come, on light rail tracks and the downtown tunnel, a system that promises to improve the commute from one end of the city to the other and eliminate some of the log jam on our highways. The city will also begin planning a new central library, hopefully a centrepiece for education fitting for a major municipality. This year, Ottawa will continue its transition from a hodgepodge of amalgamated communities into a truly great municipality. Join us in a toast to the “undiscovered country.”

Humble predictions for 2015

t would be a pretty dreary holiday season if there were no predictions for the New Year in the newspapers. In fact, there would be nothing in the newspapers. In prefacing this year’s predictions, it is necessary to note that all of my last year’s ones turned out to be true, except for the Senators making the playoffs, the one about the Senate of Canada becoming useful and the one about no coyotes in Nepean. The big question for the new year, of course, will be when the demands begin for the Dave Cameron, new coach of the Ottawa Senators, to be fired. Usually, a new coach is given a grace period of at least three days. That period has elapsed. However, simple fairness suggests that critics will hold off until mid-January.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Meanwhile, discussions will continue about the possibility of moving the arena where the Senators play to LeBreton Flats. After the discussions have continued for a while, they will stop. This will be partly because of uncertainty over who would pay for the new arena, but mostly because the National Capital Commission will want to study it. It has been less than 60 years since LeBreton Flats became an empty field and the NCC doesn’t want to rush into things.

The building of the LRT tunnel and associated infrastructure will have a serious affect on downtown businesses. However, this will be mitigated somewhat by the fact that thousands of people will found themselves trapped downtown with no clear means of getting out. They will have to eat somewhere and downtown restaurants will thrive. Meanwhile, someone will discover that there is a part of the city that isn’t a construction zone. That’s the good news. The bad news is that there’s no place to park in it. Local school boards will allow trustees to speak to the media this year. However, every statement they make will have to be prefaced with the words “Simon says …” In honour of his 200th birthday, DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES Traci Cameron 613-221-6223 ADMINISTRATION: Donna Therien 613-221-6233 DISplAy ADvERTISINg: Gisele Godin - Kanata - 221-6214 Dave Pennett - Ottawa West - 221-6209 Brad Clouthier - Orleans - 613-221-6154 Cindy Gilbert - Ottawa South - 221-6211 Geoff Hamilton - Ottawa East - 221-6215 Valerie Rochon - Barrhaven - 221-6227 Jill Martin - Nepean - 221-6221 Mike Stoodley - Stittsville - 221-6231 Janine Kivell - Ottawa West - 221-6217 Rico Corsi - Automotive Consultant - 221-6224 Greg Stimpson - Automotive Consultant - 221-6232

the federal government will promise to name several more landmarks after Sir John A. Macdonald, bringing the total to 73. A highlight of the late fall will be the opening of the Sir John A. Macdonald Tanning Salon. With a federal election scheduled for October, the federal government will make several vote-catching announcements in Ottawa, including the opening of a new museum, the Museum of Mould. The Liberals will promise two new bridges over the Ottawa River, one to Gatineau and the other from. The NDP will promise transparency, but people will see right through that. Discussions about the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway will continue. The first part of the discussion will be people asking “Which one is that?” Then there will be discussions about whether to put light rail on it, tunnel under it, build a bridge over it, privatize it or maybe put an arena ClASSIfIED ADvERTISINg SAlES:

Holiday Greetings By Jim Watson

It seems hard to believe that the holiday season is before us again. I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 2014 has been a year that we won’t soon forget. I was truly honoured and humbled to receive a very strong mandate from the people of Ottawa during the municipal elections. As we finish a highly successful and collaborative term of Council, I look forward to working with both new and returning Council colleagues preparing for some important accomplishments and projects in the coming years. During the next term of Council, we will see the completion of the Confederation Line LRT, our single largest infrastructure project since the construction of the Rideau Canal. We will also be celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017. Working with a dedicated group of community leaders, we have begun planning a yearlong celebration that will allow us to showcase our beautiful city. It will also help to further build our reputation as a premier destination for visitors from across Canada and around the world. You will see more and more of our 2017 logo – a maple leaf made up of 13 triangles – representing our 13 provinces and territories. Check out our website www.ottawa2017.ca to find out how you can contribute your ideas for this important milestone. Over the course of the next four years, we are also on track to expand and open a revitalized Ottawa Art Gallery and Arts Court, as well as our new Innovation Hub at Bayview Yards – at the intersection where the Confederation and Trillium (current O-Train) lines come together. I hope you can take some time over the holidays to come and enjoy the SENS RINK of Dreams at City Hall, or our new refrigerated outdoor rink at Lansdowne Park. Most of all, enjoy some quality time with your friends and family at this wonderful time of year.

Happy holidays. Jim Watson, Mayor

Province, federal government renew housing program A program aimed at reducing homelessness and supported by the provincial and federal governments was extended for another five years. The Investment in Affordable Housing for Ontario agreement, due to run out in spring of 2015, saw a further $801 million dedicated to increasing access to affordable housing in Ontario. The funds are provided evenly by the two levels of government. The affordable housing agreement was forged in 2011 to address a lack of new affordable housing units and an existing stock that was aging and in need of repairs. The extension was announced Aug. 11. As of July 31, nearly $395 million has already been allocated for building or repairing 10,360 housing units in the province, as well as rental assistance to a further 10,200 households.

Ottawa’s own Spring Action Trampoline duo entertained crowds with high-flying antics during the Ottawa International Buskerfest, held on Sparks Street July 31-Aug. 4. ger after the opening of a new Sens RINK in Bayshore Park. The multi-use, paved ice pad was unveiled during an Aug. 14 ceremony attended by local children, city representatives, and members of the Ottawa Senators Foundation – who initiated the Recreational Investments in Neighbourhoods for Kids (RINK) program. The Sens RINK is one of 20 such facilities the foundation is seeking

to build in underserviced neighbourhoods across the region. The rink is part of a larger, $250,000 improvement project aimed at revitalizing Bayshore Park. The rink – maintained by city staff – will have hockey and skating during the winter months, with other recreational programming during the summer. Turn to page 12

A long-term redevelopment plan for Tunney’s Pasture was given the green light on Sept. 16, paving the way for a very different future to take shape at the federal office complex. By approving the plan, the National Capital Commission set in motion a 25-year process of segmented construction, where each parcel of the

49-hectare site will be approved and developed separately, often with a private partner. A plan showcased to residents in late 2013 addressed a number of criticisms levelled at preliminary plans put forth a year earlier – namely, a lack of new residential and mixed-use space. Turn to page 13

The approved plan shows 3,400 to 3,700 units of residential development scattered throughout the area, a civic plaza and employment/retail hub by Tunney’s Pasture transit station, a block-sized community park, and better access to the Ottawa River to the north.

October Study raises alarm over food costs Low-income Ottawa residents were finding it harder than ever to feed their families in 2014, an Ottawa Public Health study showed. The 2014 Nutritious Food Basket survey showed that the cost of putting nutritious meals on the table had increased 10 per cent in the past year. The findings were released by health promotion manager Sherry Nigro at a food security event held Oct. 1 at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum. The rapid rise in food costs, couple with other inflationary pressures, is squeezing individuals and families to the breaking point, said Nigro. “It means that families are paying an extra $80 a year for food,” she

said. “If you have to pay for your rent, and pay for your food, then you’re already in a deficit … Many, many families in Ottawa are struggling to make ends meet, and what do you think are going to be the priorities? A house over your head, and the ability to pay for heat. So, where will you squeeze? You’ll squeeze by eating less, or by going to a food bank.” The study is performed by visiting 10 different grocery stores across the city and recording the price of 67 different items, allowing for year-overyear comparisons. Royal launches new front in fight against suicide The fight to understand and prevent suicide received a large boost on Oct. 8, thanks to a charitable foundation, a local fundraising initiative, The Royal, and a sizeable cash donation. Do It For Daron and the MachGaensslen Foundation each contributed $1 million to help create a research chair dedicated to the study of suicide prevention. Once formed, the DIFD Mach-Gaensslen Chair in Suicide Prevention Research at The Royal will consult experts, community partners and families to build a

list of best practices aimed at reducing instances of suicide. “In its purest form, this chair is about saving lives, and putting in place the appropriate treatments to prevent suicides,” said Karen Monoghan, spokeswoman for The Royal. She said The Royal wants to have the chair in place “as soon as possible,” and will now embark on a recruitment process to ensure the best candidate is chosen. The position should be filled within a year. The twin donations make up part of The Royal’s $25 million annual Capital Campaign for Mental Health, and will establish the chair position for a period of 10 years.

Following a whirlwind of violence that gripped the capital, Canadians were reminded that they are “not immune” to the scourge of terror. Much of downtown Ottawa was locked down on Oct. 22 after a shooting at the National War Memorial left Cpl. Nathan Cirillo of Hamilton dead, followed by a gun battle in the halls of Parliament.

Mother’s superstitions extended to New Year’s visitors

s far as Father was concerned the whole idea was pure nonsense. Imagine: not letting anyone through the door of the house on New Year’s day until somebody entered who was fair of hair, and preferably fair of skin. But Mother was adamant. She had talked about it so much, that I was sure if a black haired neighbour came knocking, he would be left standing in the cold until, as Father said, “hell froze over.” And so, I silently prayed that Uncle Alec would come across the 20 acre field that New Year’s day before anyone with black hair made a call. His fair hair was streaked with silver, and I was sure he would be welcomed in as our first visitor of the new year. But that was unlikely. It had been snowing for three days,

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories and everyone on the Northcote Side road was pretty well stuck in their own homes. Now, the reason Mother said it was of the utmost importance that someone fair of head be the first through the door on New Year’s day, was that she knew for a fact if our first visitor was one with black hair it was a sure sign that the entire year ahead would be one of doom, gloom, and very likely send all of us to the poor house. But if someone with fair hair and skin was the first through

the door, then the coming year would be one of prosperity and good health. And that is the reason that year, when New Year’s eve came and passed, and no visitor had come to call, at the crack of dawn on New Year’s day, Mother climbed the stairs, clomped by Audrey’s and my bed in her home-made felt slippers, on her way to the back bedroom, and shook Everett from a deep sleep. Even Father had yet to climb out of bed, it was so early.

“Everett, you have to get dressed and go outside and come back in before your Father sets out for the barns,” she said in a loud whisper that could be heard through the entire upstairs. Everett was the only one in the family as fair as a lily, with a swatch of blond hair, poker straight, but at least it wasn’t black or red like the rest of us in the family. Poor Everett. He knew exactly what he had to do. By this time Father was up and dressed, and Mother’s next challenge was to make sure if he went to the barns, he wouldn’t set foot in the house before Everett, because his black hair was sure to send us all into the poor house, and we’d become afflicted with goodness knows any number of ailments during the coming year. Everett still full of sleep, crawled into his overalls, pulled on his socks, and headed for the kitchen. I followed him downstairs, and he looked for all the world like he was about to fall over, still only half awake. He didn’t even bother to put on his coat or hat, just slammed his feet into his gum-rubbers, opened the back door, stepped out onto the snow covered stoop, turned around and walked right back into the kitchen, shucked off his boots and headed back upstairs. It certainly looked like it wasn’t the first time he had done the job. With daylight just starting to creep in, the kitchen had an eerie glow, and to me it seemed like the middle of the night. I sat in the rocking chair by the stove, where Father sat to read the Ottawa Farm Journal, as I tried to warm up in the still icecold house. I heard Father stomping his feet on the outside step, and saw him slowly open the kitchen door, looking down at Everett’s footsteps in the snow. Figuring it was safe to come in, he shook his head, as if to say, “well, that’s over for another year.” All I know is that, regardless of the signs or omens Mother believed in, and which Father said were the craziest notions he ever heard of, none of them did much to ease the hardships of those Depression years all around us out in Renfrew County.

Spicy sausage, lentil salad a great winter side Lentils are rich in dietary fibre and go beautifully with the crunchy texture of the home grown apple and cabbage. Caraway seeds add an unexpected twist to the apple cider dressing. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 20 minutes. Serves six to eight. Ingredients

• 175 ml (3/4 cup) dried green lentils • 10 ml (2 tsp) olive oil • 250 g (8 oz) hot or sweet Italian sausages, sliced into bite-size pieces • 750 ml (3 cups) shredded green cabbage • 1 small carrot, coarsely grated Dressing • 45 ml (3 tbsp) cider vinegar • 45 ml (3 tbsp) olive oil

• 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) caraway seeds • 1 clove garlic, minced • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) each salt and pepper • 1 unpeeled apple, cut into very thin wedges • 50 ml (1/4 cup) chopped fresh dill Preparation

Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Look through the lentils to remove any debris

and then rinse them. Add the lentils to the water. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until the lentils are tender but not mushy – about 18 to 20 minutes. Drain very well. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over mediumhigh heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about seven minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon into a serving bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot and lentils. For the dressing, whisk together the vinegar, oil, caraway seeds, garlic, salt and pepper In a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the lentil mixture and toss. Let everything cool to room temperature and then toss with the apple and dill. Foodland Ontario

The shooter, identified as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, was shot dead in the Hall of Honour inside Parliament’s Centre Block. Police responded to the initial call at the War Memorial near Parliament at 9:52 a.m. as bystanders rushed to help Cirillo, who was shot on the steps of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier while providing an honour guard with an unloaded weapon. Shortly afterwards, shots rang out inside the Centre Block of Parliament. Members of Parliament, who were in caucus meetings in adjacent rooms at the time, were sent scrambling for cover as police and Zehaf-Bibeau exchanged fire near the Hall of Honour before the suspect was shot and killed, an action Prime Minister Stephen Harper attributed to Canada’s Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers. As the investigation unfolded, police were escorting people from nearby buildings away from Parliament Hill, expanding their perimeter to

the south side of Slater Street. Many Hill staff and MPs were kept in buildings until late into the evening before the full lockdown was lifted.

November Land set aside for new Civic hospital campus The first major hurdle towards the creation of a new Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital was overcome on Nov. 3, as a portion of land at the Experimental Farm was set aside for construction. A 24.3 hectare tract owned by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada was transferred to the National Capital Commission to accommodate the next chapter of the Civic campus, which has resided on the north side of Carling Avenue since 1924. Constrained by a lack of land on its existing site, the transfer would allow the hospital to proceed with its long-term plans. “The development of a new Civic Campus is a cornerstone to the future of healthcare for

the Ottawa community,” said Ottawa Hospital president and CEO Dr. Jack Kitts. The hospital will have to coordinate any expansion with the Ontario ministry of Health and Long Term Care, and given the high cost of funding such a build, a new hospital won’t be sprouting up on former farm land anytime soon. When it does, the city can expect not just a new hospital, but also a new teaching facility to train the next generation of doctors and nurses. Women’s heart health centre opens at institute To counter a growing health threat, the University of Ottawa Heart Institute launched a heart health centre that specifically targets women – a first in Canada. The Canadian Women’s Heart Health Centre, launched on Nov. 7, seeks to improve care, raise awareness, and seek expert knowledge on how to prevent heart disease in women. Turn to page 18

The city wants callers to listen to local musicians as they wait on hold. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rationale behind #ottmusik, a new initiative launched Dec. 4 at Capital Rehearsal Studios in City Centre. Under the new program, designed to give up-and-coming Ottawa artists exposure, musicians have until Jan. 12 to submit music samples to the city. Residents will then choose their favourites via social media. Mayor Jim Watson said the city does its best to move callers through the phone system, but call volumes sometimes require a wait. In those instances, local tunes would be a better choice than canned elevator music, he said.

Women’s cross-country ski club ready to hit the trails Program, now in 32nd season, helps out local cause Laura Mueller

laura.mueller.metroland.com

By hitting the trails with Women on Skis this winter, your cross country hobby can help local women in need. Now in its 32nd consecutive season, the club is also one of the least expensive options around, says the group’s treasurer, Patricia O’Regan. For a membership fee of $30, cross country skiers of all ages and abilities will head out on the powder five times starting Friday, Jan. 9. Despite keeping membership costs the same for many years, O’Regan said the club has been able to give $20,000 to a range of women’s causes, including Cornerstone housing for women, the Well day program for women and their children, as well as breast cancer and arthritis groups. This year, funds raised will go to the Sexual Assault Support Centre.

The cost of trail fees, ski rental and lunch are extra, but O’Regan says the companionship with other women is what makes the club really special. “It’s about the camaraderie and the ability to help disadvantaged women,” she said. O’Regan herself had been a downhill skier for most of her life, a sport she described as a more solitary pursuit. Taking up cross country skiing later in life was a revelation, she said. “It was so lovely to get out in the Gatineaus with a group,” she said. “We ski, we laugh and we lunch.” Friendships made through Women on Skis sometimes endure through the warmer months – O’Regan and a fellow skier rowed together on the same dragon boat team for several years. While some experience on skis is recommended, the first session at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility (2960 Riverside Dr.) on Jan. 9 includes instruction.

Women on Skis has close to 60 members who might come out for a skiing outing, but it also has around 20 volunteers who can offer instruction and tips on technique. Those volunteers also lead groups of skiers, broken into three categories based on skill level: the birdwatchers, the tourists and the jackrabbits. “It’s enjoyable and it’s exercise at your own pace,” O’Regan said. After the initial instructional outing, the four other excursions will bring skiers to the Nakkertok Ski Club in Gatineau and Gatineau Park’s trails at Kingsmere (P6) and Pine Road (P16). Daily trail fees for both facilities are around $15 per person. Optional lunch gatherings throughout the season include potlucks, brownbag lunches and outings to Les Fougères and Colonnade Pizza. Registration forms are available online at womenonskis.ca.

Submitted

Members of Women on Skis hit the trails last season. This year, membership with the women’s only cross-country ski club will help support services offered by the Sexual Assault Support Centre.

PET OF THE WEEK

Pet Adoptions Meet Max (ID# A174622), a one-year-old retriever mix who recently wrote a letter to Santa asking for a forever home in time for Christmas. Will you help make his dreams come true? Max would love to become part of an active family with teen or adult members, one with no small animals or cats as pets already. He’s a fun-loving pup who gets along with calm dogs who respect his space. He dreams of having a big yard in which to run around and play and would especially enjoy a home in the country.

Christmas Traditions and Animals

It used to be a familiar sight at Christmas in this country: the nativity scene, presided over by sheep, goats, often a donkey and maybe a cow. There are a lot of less familiar Christmas traditions around the world that involve animals. You may be surprised how many. In Ukraine, the Christmas Eve Supper features a humble and reverent 12-dish meal in honour of the 12 apostles spreading food for the soul throughout the world. The dishes contain no meat or dairy products to show respect for the animals that shared their place of shelter and were present for the

Micha

birth of Christ. In Latvia, during the yuletide season, Latvian “mummers,” or people who dress up as entertainers during certain events, would dress up as animals such as bears or horses and parade from house to house in villages singing and dancing to ward off evil. A common tradition is the “belief” that animals talk on Christmas Eve. According to an old tradition, some farmers in Denmark feed their animals especially well, because since on the Christmas Eve animals can talk, it would not be nice to hear bad words on this special night.

These traditions are delightful and come from a time where people recognized that their fates were tied to those of the animals. Now, our mostly urban lifestyles are disconnected both from nature and our sources of food. We may see the welfare of animals as a moral imperative, but seldom as connected to our own survival in the way our ancestors did. Have you created a modern version of animal holiday traditions? Do you buy your pet a Christmas present? The holidays are a great time to think about how animals are an important part of our lives today.

My Name is Micha, the tree is up & I am excited because I have been a good girl. I am beyond spoiled and extremely loved. Do you think your pet is cute enough to be “THE PET OF THE WEEK”?

Like all Landscape Ontario member businesses, Canlok Stone is held to high ethical standards and must make the grade before they can claim they are a Landscape Ontario member company. This means Canlok Stone must have been in business for over three years and have two other Landscape Ontario members attest to their business. Canlok Stone also provided proof of insurance, as well as pictures of their job sites and an exterminator license for lawn care to qualify. In addition to that, Canlok Stone also abides by Landscape Ontario’s Statement of Conduct, Principles and Ethics landscapeontario. com/c?c=140. This means Canlok promises to treat you with integrity and will provide knowledgeable service complete with a dash of creativity. The statement also means Canlok will treat you fairly, honestly and will deliver their goods and services to you economically, while maintaining quality. This fairness and honesty also extends to their advertising, employees and even the

way they treat the environment. Best of all, however, by going with a Landscape Ontario member company such as Canlok Stone, it takes the guesswork out of choosing the best business for your landscaping needs, and you’ll know you’ll get a company with the knowledge and experience to do the job properly, along with the insurance to back it up. While you won’t have any trouble with Canlok Stone, Landscape Ontario also provides a place for you to vent any complaints landscapeontario.com/ c?c=1479 you may have if there is ever a disagreement. So, with that peace of mind, why not visit Canlok Stone’s indoor/outdoor showroom before you start your next landscaping job? Their experts can show you how to make your property into the one you’ve always been dreaming of. Visit them at 950 Moodle Drive in Nepean, call 613-828-7686 or visit them online canlok.com to learn more.

Those with memory loss are often most comfortable in the “here and now”, so the staff at Symphony Senior Living helps residents and their families live fully in the present and treasure each “moment”. This approach minimizes confusion, agitation and frustration, hence the name “Moments” for this program. At Symphony, staff take a highly personalized approach to each resident’s care and support. Each individual brings a unique set of experiences, abilities, preferences and needs. Lisa Brush, founder of Symphony Senior Living says “It’s important to gain a deep understanding of every resident’s background, so the focus is on what they can do, rather than what they cannot”. The approach to wellness is proactive at Symphony residences offering Moments. Each resident receives a comprehensive assessment before joining the program. The wellness team customizes a care plan based upon a detailed health history which allows them to work closely with each resident. This enables staff to quickly identify even small changes in behavior or routine that may signal the need for an adjustment to their wellness strategy. This keeps residents stronger longer and crises at bay. Cutting-edge research indicates that proper nutrition, medication, physical and brain exercise, and routine health monitoring can dramatically influence residents’ daily abilities, quality of life and health. Some of the steps taken at Moments to slow down the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias include: • Specialized diets enriched with omega 3 and vitamins • Hydration programs • Cognitive exercise regimens • Physical strength training and exercise

• Music, aroma and massage therapy • Physical, speech and occupational therapy • Fall prevention training The Moments team encourages families and friends to be part of the circle of care. There are events and activities that welcome family members as participants and education is provided about Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. This knowledge can help the whole family not only understand disease symptoms and progression, but also learn how to cope with the impact on their own lives. Moments Manor Orléans, previously St. Joseph Villa until taken over by Symphony one year ago, is currently undergoing a complete building rejuvenation. The existing chapel is being restored to its former beauty and will become the centre point of the project. Each floor will have a separate comfortable and spacious living area including a resident kitchen & dining room, living room and lounge areas, resident and family laundry areas, a spa tub and accessible shower rooms. The new environment will be smaller and very homelike. This helps improve morale and increase comfort levels, so residents feel calmer and at ease. In addition, features like a hair salon, private dining room and secured outdoor areas with wandering paths and gardens are being added. Symphony Senior Living Kanata offers two service options for seniors - a beautiful new Moments Neighbourhood as well as assisted living services. This allows residents to choose the best service option for their needs, as well as to age in place without requiring another move. The Symphony Senior Living Moments program is a welcome new addition to memory care services in the Ottawa area. Additional Moments neighbourhoods will be introduced at the company’s Carleton Place Terrace location and its Symphony Senior Living Orléans location in 2015.
