Community - Building heights make a lot of headlines in Ottawa, but that doesn’t mean what happens on the ground isn’t important. On Oct. 8, the public was invited to pose questions to members of the planning team working on the Carling-Preston Public Realm and Mobility Study, part of the area’s community design plan. While community working groups have already scrutinized the public realm strategy and made suggestions towards it, most residents had yet to see what ideas were on the table. David Leinster, landscape architect and partner with The Planning Partnership, outlined the opportunities that existed for parks and open spaces in the study area, which weren’t numerous. “There’s not a lot of opportunity to create new parkland,” said Leinster, adding that in the future the city could look at working with private partners to create public green space in new developments. Among the spaces likely to see redevelopment are the Beechgrove Apartments on Beech Street, and the surface parking lot at Preston and Aberdeen streets.

News - Ottawa’s central area will be getting three new pedestrian bridges and more bicycle infrastructure by 2031. Aside from the flashy announcement of $3 billion in rail transit extensions to the
east, south and west ends of Ottawa, the city released its $1-billion draft vision for upgrades and modifications to road, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure. The city will spend $40 million to build three new pedestrian bridges, including a long-term plan to convert the former Prince of Wales
rail bridge to Gatineau into a pedestrian and cycling crossing. That would happen in the last phase of the plan, up to 2031. Most of the transportation network expansion in the central area is focused on cycling, pedestrian and transit facilities.

News - City Hall resembled a gym on the morning of Oct. 10, as participants in the JDRF Ride for Diabetes Research geared up for the annual bike-a-thon. The event, which raises funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, is different than other bike-athons in that the participants and their bikes don’t budge an inch. Teams of riders mounted their stationary bikes on the east lawn of city hall in the aim of raising $240,000 for research into type 1 diabetes – the most severe form of diabetes. The JDRF Ride for Diabetes Research is a nationwide phenomenon, attracting teams from local corporations and companies in 21 cities to take turns manning their bikes. This year’s goal is $7.7 million. The banking sector had a strong turnout at this year’s Ottawa event, with some members of Team TD Bank donning green bodysuits for the duration of the ride. The event is open to teams from across the business community. JDRF ride chair Hees Ham, a partner in the technology training company ExitCertified, said groups are attracted to the event by the fun. “I got introduced to JDRF about six or seven years ago and was introduced to this ride day,” said Ham. “We brought a team out and had a lot of fun, and since then we’ve made it our primary charity of choice that we support annually.”
More than 300,000 Canadians live with type 1 diabetes, while nine million Canadians have either type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. The autoimmune disease can cause serious health complications and requires constant monitoring and intervention. Many of those who suffer are children and youth, such as Mackenzie Huggins, this year’s JDRF Youth Ambassador. The 13-year-old, a student at Stephen Leacock Public School, recently received an insulin pump that delivers a measured, continuous dose of insulin into her bloodstream. The pump allows Huggins to forgo a daily regimen of painful injections. “I got involved with JDRF shortly after my diagnosis,” said Huggins. “I was giving myself injections – a lot of needles – and it definitely was more painful, with more risks, and it was being harder to manage. With the insulin pump, it’s very easy to manage, easy to find out about your blood sugar … it’s definitely a better treatment.” Huggins used to have to inject insulin six to eight times a day, and up to 20 a day at one period. Like many youth who receive insulin pumps, she immediately saw her quality of life improve. “It makes it really easy to manage, and easy to be normal,” said Huggins. “This time last year we were all stressed about my eating habits, my blood sugar … I can (now) go to a party with friends and eat what I want. You can go to Disneyland and eat all day – I never could have done that before.”

News - Pumpkin carving can often yield subpar results, but not if Marc Evan and Chris Soria are on hand. The Brooklyn, N.Y., based “extreme” pumpkin carvers make up the award-winning Maniac Pumpkin Carvers and will be bringing their knifehandling skills to Westboro on Oct. 26. The Westboro Village BIA’s third annual Wickedly Westboro event takes place along the Richmond Road strip from Oct. 26 to 31, bringing activities, scavenger hunts, workshops and much more to Halloween enthusiasts. The centrepiece of the week will be the appearance of the Maniac Pumpkin Carvers at the Westboro Farmers Market. “It’s a medium they love to work with and we’re really looking forward to having them here,” said Mary Thorne, executive director of the BIA.
Shop owners and restaurateurs along Richmond will take part in the week-long celebration by carving their own pumpkins to be placed in their businesses’ windows. The Wickedly Westboro Pumpkin Stroll invites the public to judge the pumpkins while out for a walk, with the winners announced on Nov. 7. More information on events and scheduling can be found by visiting westborovillage.com.
Not content to just show off their skills at the farmers market, the two extreme carvers will spend the day prior to the kickoff mentoring students from the Algonquin College School of Hospitality and Tourism. The opening day will also feature a communitywide scavenger hunt, food and drink from participating restaurants, and myriad activities (and treat bags) for kids. Children are encouraged to dress in costume.

Lengthy system of bike lanes eyed for Westboro Continued from page 1
ROADS
While the plan for the central area focuses on active transportation, there are two road projects of note. The only major road expansion or extension project planned in the city’s core until 2031 is an extension of Little Italy’s Preston Street to the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway – a project expected to cost $13.4 million.
That extension wouldn’t take place until the final phase of the transportation master plan between 2026 and 2031. The controversial Alta Vista Transportation Corridor, a raised parkway and bridge intended to connect Riverside Drive to Lees Avenue in Old Ottawa East appears all but dead. While the first phase of the new road to connect the hospital campus to Riverside Drive is in the plan, the next and more contested phase across the Rideau River is
buried in the annexes of the master plan, with no potential date for construction. After the plan was released, Old Ottawa East residents were pondering whether it might be possible to convince the city to remove even that “last seed of possibility” of the road being built. In emails exchanged between community association members, the idea of pushing for the road’s environmental study to be redone in light of drastically altered transit plans for the area

with the addition of light rail at Lees station. The transportation master plan only includes expansion of roads or new roads, not reconstruction of existing roads, which is why there are fewer projects listed for the core. Road reconstruction is expected to carry on as usual. CYCLING
A lengthy system of bike lanes in Westboro is planned that would connect the Fisher Park area all the way to Lincoln Heights. It would run on Sherwood, Gladstone, Tyndale, Iona and Island Park Crescent with a link through Hampton Park to Dovercourt Avenue. It would continue west to Saville Row, past Woodroffe to the end of Lawn Avenue. That’s one of the projects included in $70 million worth of work to boost cycling infrastructure on its own. Other upgrades will be done as part of road reconstructions. The improvements are focused on a handful of categories: • City bikeways: long, contiguous routes for commuting. In the central area, this includes streets like O’Connor getting a partially segregated bike lane to Lansdowne Park and bike lanes on Scott and Albert streets – which will become the former bus Transitway when light rail is built
Timeline The draft plan will be considered and potentially altered by the transit commission on Oct. 24 and the transportation committee on Nov. 15. Council has the final say on Nov. 26. Remaining public information sessions include: • Oct. 17 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Kanata Recreation Complex - Hall A, 100 Walter Baker Pl. • Oct. 22 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Walter Baker Sports Centre second floor food court, 100 Malvern Dr., Barrhaven. • Oct. 24 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex Covent Glen Room, 1490 Youville Dr., Orléans. – between Holland and Bronson avenues. • Neighbourhood bikeways: routes that connect residential areas to the schools, recreation facilities and shopping centres that serve them, such as the east-west Westboro network. • Cross-town bikeways, including bike lanes or paved shoulders on Richmond Road from Carling Avenue to Highway 417. • Node links: suburban cycling routes that serve large employment centres or edu-
cational institutions. • Transit links: Routes that connect residential areas – mostly in the suburbs – to transit stations that are within a seven to 15-minute bike ride. • Missing links, like completing a Nepean trail that includes bike lanes on Grant Carman Drive and missing sections of bike lanes along Gladstone Avenue between Preston Street and Parkdale Avenue. PEDESTRIAN
In addition to the pedestrian/cycling bridges, the plan contains a number of expansions or extensions for sidewalks and pathways. The Bronson Avenue offramp at Heron Road on the west side will get a new link to Heron Transitway station. Broadview is set to get sidewalks to Byron Avenue. A large section of Iris Street will get sidewalks, as will Woodward Drive and part of Navaho Drive and Clyde Avenue south of Carling. Connaught and Roman avenues are set to get pedestrian improvements later on. The entire length of Sherbourne Street is slated to get sidewalks in the last phase of the plan. Pedestrian projects across the city account for $26 million over the course of the plan.

City to extend rail transit to all corners of Ottawa SOUTH
Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Extending light rail to Orléans, Bayshore and Bowesville by 2023 is the future of transportation in Ottawa, says Mayor Jim Watson. In a speech outlining the transit portion of the new transportation master plan, Watson said extending rail to each end of the city with 35 kilometres of new rail and 19 new stations will cost $2.5 billion. The extensions will get done in tandem, much earlier than the city’s original projection of 2031 and will help all areas of the city capitalize on the benefits of the Confederation Line downtown, Watson said. “We could go slowly and build each segment of the network over a protracted period of time, suffering wasteful and disruptive conversions along the way,” he said. “Or we can move ahead and use public transit to help define how we grow.” Funding from the federal and provincial governments will be needed, the mayor said. Having a clear plan that outlines the cost-sharing needed will ensure success, Watson said. The draft plan will be considered and potentially altered by the transit commission on Oct. 24 and the transportation committee on Nov. 15. Council has the final say on Nov. 26. EAST
The big winner in the mayor’s LRT announcement was Orléans, which will get four new stations: St. Joseph, Jeanne D’Arc, Orléans Drive, and Place d’ Orléans. When completed by 2023, the 90 per cent of Orléans residents will live within five kilometres of the rapidtransit line, Watson said. “We want to work with the Government of Canada to locate jobs in the east and to attract employers there to support balanced growth,” Watson said. “Bringing the benefits of light rail east to Place d’Orléans will make that difference.” “We’ve always said we needed it sooner than later,” said Orléans Coun. Bob Monette. Rail will be a “game changer” for because it will provide a convenient
The city’s south end will get a rail extension of a different kind. The city is looking to build a $100 million extension of the O-Train line to Bowesville. The expansion will include five new stations at Gladstone, Walkley, South Keys, Leitrim and Bowesville with park-and-ride lots at the south end of the system to make it accessible to Riverside South commuters and residents from the rural area. That’s in addition to $59 million the city is already spending to double the existing O-Train tracks to provide more frequent service. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said the
extension moves southend communities forward after the cancellation of the city’s previous north-south light rail plan under the previous council. Converting the heavy rail of the O-Train line to light rail to match the rest of the system could be considered in the future, Desroches said. A rail spur to the airport was deemed too costly and of less benefit than providing light-rail transit to commuters, but the city does plan to expand the Airport Parkway to add carpool and taxi lanes from Brookfield to Hunt Club. The expanded transit system would also come with a price tag of $500 million for new trains and expanded storage facilities.
SUBMITTED
On Oct. 9, Mayor Jim Watson unveiled a new vision to extend light-rail transit to the city’s east and west ends and to extend the O-Train south. way for people to get to Orléans and therefore encourage the development of unused employment lands along the 174 corridor. Extending light rail to Orléans is expected to cost $500 million. The announcement is a double win for the east end because it means bus Transitway lanes on Ottawa Road 174 will be freed up and likely converted as new lanes for traffic, Blais said. The mayor said a study will consider converting those lanes for use by carpoolers. WEST
Light rail will be extended as far west as the expanded Bayshore Shopping Centre, with a southwest spur to Baseline Station and Algonquin College. From Lincoln Fields, the line will split off towards Bayshore south of Woodroffe High School. The Connaught tunnel will be expanded past the existing Pinecrest bus garage and then skirt the Roman Avenue area to run on the city’s right-of-way north of the Queensway before stopping at a new Queensview Station. The Bayshore rail extension would cost $400 million. A new pedestrian bridge over
Highway 417 will connect the Pinecrest Shopping Centre and Ikea to light rail. The line will continue with another stop west of Pinecrest before ending at Bayshore. Transit past Bayshore will continue with a new bus Transitway extension from March Road to Terry Fox Drive. “It means that people in Kanata will no longer be in mixed traffic on the Queensway at that location, which will make the travel a lot better,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. While rail is coming all the way to Orléans, Kanata will get dedicated busways first instead of LRT. Wilkinson said she would have preferred to see rail extended east and west inside the Greenbelt first before deciding which direction to cross over the Greenbelt – probably a decade from now. The plan also includes a southwest rail extension from Tunney’s Pasture to Baseline at a cost of $980 million. Connecting the college to the city’s other post-secondary institutions that are already on the light rail line – the University of Ottawa, Carleton University and La Cité collégiale – will create “an education powerhouse in the capital,” Watson said.

Going behind closed doors at the city’s ‘john school’ News - What’s it like in john school? Well Ottawa police and the Salvation Army gave members of the media a taste on Oct. 9. The first thing johns learn when they attend the policerun rehabilitation session is about diseases. Johns get a look at big pictures of all kinds of sexually transmitted diseases they can potentially come into contact with when they interact with prostitutes. “Anyone is at risk, but those risks go up if they come in contact with an active sexual partners like a sex worker,” said Ottawa Public Health nurse Carol Podolek. “Once you contact something viral, you’ve got it.” Podolek has been involved with john school since it started in 1997. She said she tells the group that it’s important to know what is out there, what the risks are and to get tested, because symptoms are not always obvious. Podolek’s presentation is only one part of what john school is about. The event looked to offer the media a better understanding of what it means when the police refer johns to the school. Aside from diseases, the five hour, $500 class, has students sit and listen to a variety of speakers, including a former sex trade worker, police, a crown attorney and a member of the community. “Twenty seconds of sexual
gratification can impact you for the rest of your life -- that’s what we tell them, that’s what john school is all about,” said Sgt. Jim Elves. Elves operates things from a police perspective, but the program is run in partnership with the Salvation Army. Getting the opportunity to go to the school gives any man trolling the streets looking for a prostitute a one-time free pass from being charged. Elves explained when the police conduct a john sweep, the men caught propositioning an undercover officer are given a choice - accept the charge and face the consequences or accept the pre-charge option of going to john school. To qualify, the men must show remorse on the scene, Elves said. If they agree, the men are free to go home, but must agree to show up at the courthouse within seven days to pay for the course. At the court house, two Salvation Army intake workers again assess whether the men qualify, at which point, according to Capt. Tony Brushett, anger tends to outweigh remorse, but given the consequences, a lot of men end up attending the school. Once they pay, they are given a date and must attend the full five hours. Anything short of attending the class in its entirety means they fail and can be charged. During the media session, Elves said that next to the discussion about diseases, a presentation from a former sex
trade worker has the biggest impact. “It’s a real eye opener for them and we are fortunate to have that speaker. It’s what makes the difference and I would go to the point that without it, (the class) would not have the same impact,” he said. On top of giving the students an opportunity to understand the impact their actions could have on a street worker, the presentation from a member of the community offers insight to what the impact their actions could have on a neighbourhood. “I tell them everyone is impacted,” Hintonburg resident Cheryl Parrot said. “The myth that this happens away from the community, we try to dispel that myth. It’s happening and that it’s affecting the community.” Parrot, who helped lead efforts to tackle prostitution in her neighbourhood, has also worked with the school since the beginning. One key question that was asked of those presenting at the Oct. 9 session was about whether the program was having an effect on the issue of prostitution. It was a tough question to answer. Elves said there are still many workers out on the street and that as sweeps target particular neighbourhoods, the elements of crime simply move. “If we could eliminate the demand, we could eliminate the supply,” Elves said. “But

Cheryl Parrot talks about the effect of prostitution on neighbourhoods, including her own community of Hintonburg, at a recent staged john school event on Oct. 9. if we ran a sweep every week, we would have arrests every week.” But on the brighter side, he said that since the program started police have found that only two per cent of those attending john school have reoffended and been charged criminally.
The Salvation Army’s role in this program is not only as intake workers, but the money paid to take the class goes back to programs for sex trade workers. “From a john perspective, we let them know we are still there after they leave, we offer them support,” Brushett said.

New plan has rail on right track
F
ollowing the release of a draft Transportation Master Plan, councillors and staff at city hall should be applauded for presenting an ambitious vision for Ottawa’s public transit
future. While the document also offers prescriptions for things such as pedestrian, cycling and motor vehicle mobility, it is the plans to bring rail transit to the east, west and south of the city eight years ahead of the schedule that is cause for excitement. The project will, according to the draft document, be constructed at a cost of roughly $2.5 billion, and for the most part will help address many of the traffic issues plaguing the city currently. By taking light rail east to OrlÊans, the large commuter base there will have an efficient, compelling alternative to joining the line ups on highway 174 each day. By reaching south, the extension of the O-Train line will make amends for older, scrapped plans to extend rail to the burgeoning community of Riverside South and beyond. To the west, the major west-end shopping nodes and the Algonquin College campus will be tied into the Confederation Line, on which tunnelling began last week. All in all, it is much more than many might have expected after the last light rail saga. That doesn’t
mean, however, that there aren’t a few question marks about the plans, perhaps things that might be addressed before the final plan is brought before council. First, and most glaring, is why rail isn’t going west to Kanata. Kanata, like OrlÊans, has a significant community of people who commute downtown. Unlike OrlÊans, Kanata also has a significant employment base, meaning while some hop on a bus to go downtown, others are heading to Kanata for work each day. That means buses are full in both directions, as trains would be, if city hall saw fit. A link to the airport is also a glaring omission. As the city’s largest transportation hub, it only makes sense to link it to the rest of the transportation network. The official response is it’s not worth the added expense, but this may appear short sighted as the city grows in the years ahead. Another is the dependence on funding from other levels of government. Hopefully when the time comes this is not a problem, but the hoping for the best from Parliament Hill and Queen’s Park is not necessarily the most firm foundation for any plan. The city should hope other levels of government don’t derail what is otherwise a good plan for Ottawa’s transit future.

The perfect monument for a half-built city
O
ut along the airport parkway this ‌ Thing hangs over the road. It is a well publicized Thing and so much has been written and spoken about it that people can almost figure out what it is. It’s sort of an overpass, bridge kind of Thing, with a kind of tower arrangement at one end. It’s about half built, maybe a bit less than that. At one point it was imagined that people would use the Thing to get from Hunt Club Road to South Keys, and vice versa. Now nobody knows what to do with it. Construction companies and engineering firms have come and gone since the building of the Thing began. There have been third-party reviews, whatever they are. Meanwhile, the Thing sits there and no work is being done on it. Understandably, people are wondering what should be done. They could rip it down. Or they could start from scratch. Or they could get another review. But none of those things would be right. Here is what should be done about the Thing beside the airport parkway: nothing. Let it sit there as a reminder of what kind of city we have here, a monument, as it were, to the decision-making process.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town About 25 years ago, when the first of several new airports was being constructed just down the road from the uncompleted Thing, there was a period of slight chaos in which deplaning passengers had to walk across the tarmac and dodge their way around various bits of construction on their way into the half-completed terminal building. Arriving at the terminal, they were greeted by a sign. “Welcome to Ottawa,� it said. “Sorry for the inconvenience.� What could have been a more perfect introduction to our city? Sadly, the terminal was completed, eventually to be replaced by another still grander one, and the sign disappeared.

Ottawa West News EMC - Thursday, October 17, 2013
Too bad about the sign, but now we have the uncompleted Thing hanging over the road to stand as a symbolic welcome to the kind of town we are. And what kind of town is that? It is the kind of town where people can’t make up their minds. Should they keep on building it or tear it down. Or should they think about it some more. Or maybe get another third-party review. Maybe even a fourth-party review. There may not be such a thing as a fourthparty review, but if it does exist this would be the place to find it. You might find it at LeBreton Flats, a multi-acre monument to indecision. Of course, Ottawa is more than a town in which people can’t make up their minds. It is also a town in which somebody else changes your mind for you once you’ve made it up. Take, for example, another parkway, the one that used to be called the Western Parkway and is now named after Sir John A. The city government made up its mind that light rail would go nicely along the western section of the parkway. That was fine until the National Capital Commission unmade up the city’s mind. So now light rail will twist and turn and go
through neighbourhoods and into tunnels, all because there were too many minds to make up. There should be a monument to this sort of thing, because it is truly unique to us. The place to build the monument is right beside the Sir John A. parkway. And the thing to build is a statue of a light rail train, the only one ever to use the parkway. Wouldn’t that be perfect? Mind you, it would only be appropriate if it was half-finished. Can we get started on it right away? Or, as soon as it has been properly studied.

Death, resurrection of the modern church
T
his week, I interviewed Rev. Paul Donison, the rector of a downtown church who is on a mission – literally. Donison is in Kenya, along with 1200 Anglican Church leaders from across the globe. They’re gathering to talk about the future of the church. It’s an issue fraught with uncertainty, particularly in Canada. Every year, hundreds of churches across the country – both Protestant and Roman Catholic – are padlocking their doors. A Canadian Press story a few years ago noted that some rural churches were so desperate to offload the buildings and the expenses affiliated with them, they were selling them for a dollar. Donison’s church isn’t one of them. A rare stock in this country, St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s Anglican Church has seen its average Sunday attendance grow 35 per cent over the past five years – at the same time numbers in most churches are shrinking. Donison thinks he has an idea of what his church is doing right. “We’re preaching the gospels,” says Donison. In case you’ve never attended Christianity 101, the gospels are the biblical accounts of Jesus’ birth, told in different ways by multiple authors – mainly, the disciples of Jesus. They include the birth, divinity, death and resurrection of Jesus – you know, the fundamentals of the Christian faith. From the outside looking in, one would expect the gospels to be taught in church, right? But this is not necessarily the case. Over the last half century, churches in North America and Europe have become increasingly liberal with their theology. How liberal? Well, many Christian churches don’t actually believe in Christ anymore. The United Church – once the largest Protestant community in
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse
Canada – has expressly stated that stories of the Bible can be used for teaching, but they are not meant to be taken literally. Earlier this month in a radio interview a United Church minister in Toronto said she no longer believed in the resurrection of Christ. She announced this to her congregation. Most of them shrugged. They didn’t care. “What the liberal church has been doing for the last 50 years is revisioning the faith, from top to bottom,” explains Donison. “The Bible is no longer the authority – the belief for some is that it’s an ancient book, or collection of books, most of which are a bunch of fairy tales.” The liberal church in Canada took root in the mid-1960s. The Anglican Church, which saw its membership numbers shrinking rapidly, asked Pierre Berton to write a report on the state of the church. Arguably one of Berton’s most controversial conclusions in “The Comfortable Pew” was that, if the church wanted to remain relevant into the 21st century, it would have to let go of its old theologies and doctrines and adapt its views to modern culture. Fast-forward five decades and those churches that have done precisely what Berton recommended are flailing. The United Church of Canada, while notable in many communities for its mission work – operating food banks and generally supporting communities in a charitable way – is dying a slow death. In 1964, the United Church peaked with 1.1 million members,
cent of all Christians reside – and where Christianity is growing exponentially. It’s not just the rapid growth that makes the church different, however. The congregation is young. The church runs and funds a number of mission programs in Centretown and abroad. It also happens to be full of Christians that still believe in Christ. Only time will tell if the latter anomaly is what the Christian church needs to resurrect itself in Canada.
minister told the Globe and Mail last year, communities will suffer as a result. But some churches are growing. Donison’s church is one of those anomalies. It’s one of 71 Anglican parishes across the country that “split” from the Anglican Church of Canada on what it believes to be theological grounds. St. Peter and St. Paul’s is now part of the Anglican Network in Canada, a region established by Anglicans in the southern hemisphere, where 80 per cent of Anglicans and an estimated 75 per
making it the largest Protestant community in the country. The church has been in steady decline ever since. The most recent statistics suggest the mean age in the United Church is 65-years-old. The church has around half a million members, a number that continues to shrink every year. Maybe, you think, this doesn’t matter. But without members, churches can’t continue to do or fund the good work its members feel called to do. As one retired United Church

Museum of Nature shows off hidden treasures Free open house kicks of National Science and Technology Week Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - The Canadian Museum of Nature will open the doors of its research and collections facility for a free open house this weekend. Many of the museum’s animal skeletons, pressed plants and dinosaur bones will be available to view at the Natural Heritage Campus in Gatineau on Oct. 19. The free event offer visitors the opportunity to see how dinosaur fossils are prepared for study and display, give them the chance to meet an Arctic plant researcher, explore an Arctic field camp and investigate the hidden world of algae and see specimens collected during the 1913-1918 Canadian Arctic Expedition.
Vice president of corporate services, Michel Houle said this event offers people an opportunity to see another side of the museum. “On one hand, we have the public face in Ottawa,” Houle said. “That is meant to showcase what we are all about, but there is also this facility that has many more specimens that we don’t get to show. Ultimately, this collection is for Canadians and we want them to see them.” Museum curators, staff and volunteers will be available to answer questions and share their expertise. In a warehouse roughly the size of five hockey arenas, the museum boasts more than 10.5 million specimens under its roof and is often subject to hundreds of visits from sci-
entists and students to view the collections, work in the labs and collaborate with the museum’s research staff. Of the many things on display, both the winner of the museum’s recent Dino Idol and the runner-up will be on display. According to the museum, the tours will be self-guided and are best suited for children five years of age and up. In the years 2009 and 2011, open houses hosted at the campus attracted more than 2,000 visitors to the event. Desjardins is sponsoring the free event and no reservations are required. Cameras are permitted and there will be free parking available on site. The open house runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Gourmet Cuisine will offer a cash-
only barbecue. Among the highlights are: • Earth Sciences – Check out sparkling minerals, dinosaur bones, Ice Age animals and other geological treasures. • Botany - there will be plants of all kinds pressed and preserved on display. • Vertebrates – Enter the Large Skeleton Room and marvel at the wall of antlers, whale bones and skeletons of all kinds. • Invertebrates – Tiny insects, colourful shells, marine creatures and other creepy crawlies that account for most of Earth’s biodiversity; • Labs - Discover how new discoveries are made in our DNA lab, X-Ray lab and Analytical lab.

News - The Carleton University O-Train station will take on a new look once Stuart Kinmond’s public art proposal comes to life. Kinmond’s installation, titled “locomOtion,” beat out competing proposals that were exhibited to the public on Sept. 16. The opinions of judges tapped by the city’s public art program and feedback garnered from residents provided the basis for selecting the winning art. The program sees one per cent of a budget assigned to public infrastructure projects in the city used for public art projects, with the O-Train expansion allowing for $80,000 to be spent on Kinmond’s plans for the western platform at the Carleton OTrain stop. The artist’s vision comprises 14 aluminum poles rising 6.8 metres above the platform, each topped with red, circular shapes that reflect light after dark. According to Kinmond, “as the eye passes along the length of this installation, the sequence of deconstructed/reconstructed wheels convey the idea of movement and travel, hence (the project’s) name.” At the earlier open house, Kinmond said the towering installation

Stuart Kinmond’s ‘locomOtion’ will soon adorn the O-Train station at Carleton University. would serve as a marker to draw students towards the station, with the refractive paint designed to glow in the light from the nearby street lamps. This is Kinmond’s first public art installation, which he said will be durable enough to weather the harsh
Ottawa climate. Artists who submitted proposals were allowed to tailor their installations for various points along the OTrain line. Kinmond chose Carleton especially for his piece. The Carleton station sees heavy traffic and is located at about the
eight-minute service intervals once a new set of trains begin operation early in the new year. Six new diesel train sets will replace the current three, which have been in service since 2001.

Workers surround a sinkhole that opened up on St. Joseph Boulevard, near Place d’Orléans, on Oct. 7. They begin to drain it about an hour after it opened up. The road was reopened later on the next day.
Sinkhole opens on St. Joseph Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - St. Joseph Boulevard closed down suddenly on Oct. 7 after a sinkhole opened just after 11:30 a.m. The sinkhole opened near Gabriel Street and was caused by a break in the water main underneath the road. Workers immediately started work to get hoses into the hole to drain the water inside as traffic was rout-
ed around the closed portion of the road. It was raining heavily but it didn’t stop workers from Service Ontario and other businesses from standing outside with umbrellas to get an up close look at the hole, which was several metres long and wide. It took significantly less time to fix than the last sinkhole in Orléans, on highway 174. This time, the road was opened the next day, on Oct. 8, in the
afternoon. It was right in front of the Orléans ambulance bay, but Ottawa paramedics said they had an alternate exit, so there wasn’t an impact. It did give the infamous @174Sinkhole Twitter account a chance to become active again. “The sinkhole on St. Joseph Blvd. in Orléans is further evidence that Orléans is a Holy-y Land,” the anonymous account tweeted.
Work harder than everyone else and your dreams can come true. That was the message Canadian women’s national team player Rhian Wilkinson gave the next generation of stars-in-the-making at Ottawa South United Soccer Club’s year-end banquet. The 31-year-old shared the story of her path to an Olympic medal, which included getting cut the first time she tried out for a ‘AAA’ soccer team when she was young. “It was the first day I realized I was pretty competitive,” Wilkinson told the audience of almost 500 at the Centurion Conference & Event Center. “There was no way I was going to allow that coach to have the last say in my soccer career.” The Montreal native did make the ‘AAA’ team the next year, but still had several more hurdles to clear before representing Canada. Wilkinson was invited to youth national team camps, but never made the grade. The former University of Tennessee student at last made her international debut against the powerful U.S. team, chasing around Mia Hamm and co. in a 6-2 drubbing. In the years that followed, the Canadians narrowed the gap, and very nearly beat the Americans in the London 2012 Olympic semi-final, which included some infamous officiating. “It really was one of the worst days of my life,” Wilkinson described. “We cried, as a team, everyone on their own, for 24 hours.” Before the bronze medal match the next day, captain Christine Sinclair told her teammates how proud she was of their efforts, reminded them they’d given everything they had, and that there was still an opportunity to win bronze. “We had absolutely nothing left emotionally and physically, but we were fighting for one another,”Wilkinson said of the third-place contest. “France was better than us, but they did not work harder than us.” And then in the 92nd minute, the reward for those efforts came with Diana Matheson’s goal and a 1-0 Canadian victory. “Now I’m the proud owner of the Olympic bronze medal,” smiled Wilkinson, displaying her prize to a lengthy round of applause and cheers. “I still have to pinch myself... I can’t believe my dream came true.”The Team Canada idol left her young onlookers with one main piece of advice. “Find your passion,” implored Wilkinson, who’s now set her sights on the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, to be played on home soil. “For some of you here, it may be soccer. For others, it may be nursing. Or it could be accounting – to each their own,” she added. “Whatever it is, find your passion. Because whatever it is, it’s going to require a lot of hard work. That’s the key.” Accomplishments abound at OSU banquet Wilkinson was the keynote speaker at the banquet marking the end of OSU’s 10th anniversary season. It was an ideal way to set the stage for the next 10 years as the club continues to push to new and greater heights, highlighted OSU President Bill Michalopulos. “The next great achievement would be for one of our boys or girls to be part of Canada’s national team,” Michalopulos signaled. “I’ll predict that we’ll achieve that in the next 10 years, no problem.” It may not take nearly that long. OSU U15 girls’ player Alexis Martel-Lamothe participated in a national prospects camp from Aug. 23-Sept. 1 in Burnaby, B.C., and is part of the selection pool for the Canadian U17 team that will play in October’s CONCACAF Women’s U-17 Championship in Jamaica. Martel-Lamothe was just one of the individuals recognized in what was an outstanding 2013 season for OSU. Other highlights included five OSU gold medal-winning players at the national all-star championships, and winning the Ottawa region’s first Ontario Cup girls’ and Ontario Youth Soccer League boys’ championships. “It’s a club with tremendous passion and tremendous vision,” observed Ontario Soccer Association President Ron Smale, another distinguished guest at the banquet along with Osgoode Ward City Councillor Doug Thompson. “If each of us embrace it, we’ll take this game to the next level.” OSU also saluted its numerous league-champion teams, players moving on to professional academies and university soccer, and presented awards to volunteers, referees, players and teams (see below for more details). The list of accomplishments is long and deserves to be celebrated, but there’s a greater purpose behind the drive to be successful, much like Wilkinson’s journey to the top, Michalopulos noted. “It acts as motivation for our young girls and boys to maximize their abilities and potential in soccer,” he explained, thanking the many people involved for their tireless efforts. “That’s why we’re doing it, the #1 reason.”

and make it obvious where bikes have to be, rather than where pedestrians should be,” he said. A pathway is also envisioned on the west side of the O-Train, running from Beech to Carling Avenue. A pedestrian bridge crossing the tracks on the Hickory Street corridor is expected to get underway in the next year, as is a signalized crossing on Carling for the multiuser pathway. In terms of traffic flow, Jack said the median at Rochester Street and Carling could be opened to allow the “underutilized” intersection to take rush hour traffic off of side streets. Signal changes at Carling and Champagne could be made to stop a similar situation, in which vehicles seek to lessen the delay by cutting across side streets. Later this fall, the completion of a draft secondary plan is expected, with further consultations to follow.

vestment,” said Jack, adding he envisioned a landscaped public seating area on the corner of Beech and Champagne that would be more formal and useable than what is there now. The intersection of Beech and Champagne, including its approaches, are envisioned as a cobbled roadway, with stretch of Champagne south of Beech being configured in such a way that it could be closed off. This would allow events in the park to spill over into the street. While the multi-user pathway on the east side of the O-Train tracks was completed earlier this year, running from Dow’s Lake to the Ottawa River, opportunities exist to make that route more enjoyable for pedestrians and cyclists. The stretch from Young Street to Carling Avenue should see upgrades, said Leinster, in response to a resident’s request for new benches. “We want to widen (the pathway)

The race, which attracted more than 400 participants saw Wellington Street West roped off while runners pounded the pavement. The main event – The Duke’s Cup – saw Mohamed Souleiman and Leah Larocque (middle) win their respective heats.

Linden House play takes development issues to the stage Fall production to benefit local charities Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
Arts - A new theatre production set to take the stage in Rockcliffe offers an interesting perspective about what it’s like to watch the world change around you. The Linden House Theatre Company presents the production Lloyd George knew my father from Oct. 22 to Nov. 1 at the Elmwood Theatre in Rockcliffe. According to the production company’s founder Janet Uren, the story takes love, family and urbanism and turns it into a must-see play for Ottawa residents. “I chose this play because living in New Edinburgh, for me, you feel the pressure of development almost everyday and I think this play has a setting that will resonate with a lot of people in Ottawa,” she said. Written by British playwright William DouglasHorne, the play’s setting is 1970s Britain and is a dark comedy about an elderly cou-
ple who learn a bypass will be built in front of their property -- an old manor which has been in the family for more than 300 years. But the play, Uren adds, is not all about fighting big development. It is also about love, about growing old and coming to terms with that. “There is a lot in this play about aging and the loss of power,” she said. The lead character, Lady Sheila Boothroyd who is played by Uren, learns of the bypass and announces she will commit suicide before she ever sees it built. It is this announcement that sets up the comedic premise for the play. “This play is extremely funny, but I also think it will make people weep,” Uren said. The director for the production is Robin Bowditch, a professional British director who has come on board to give long-time Linden House director George Stonyk the opportunity to act in the play. The remaining cast, Uren

$25,000 has been handed out to charitable causes, including the Elmwood Old Girls Scholarship Fund and the Laurentian Chapter IODE. This year, the production will support four organizations: Elmwood Old Girls Scholarship Fund on Oct. 22,
the Laurentian Chapter IODE on Oct. 23, the New Edinburgh Community, NECTAR and Mackay United Church on Oct. 24 and St. Bartholomew’s Church and the Cornerstone Lunch Program on Nov. 1. All the revenues from each show are shared with its evening partner. It is because of this strong connection to helping out the community, that in return, the community helps the theatre company produce strong plays. The cast has been rehearsing free of charge at the Rockcliffe Retirement Residence while the stage is built at Elmwood. Local businesses, including Beechwood Avenue Edward Jones Financial Management, Sezlik.com, McCay-Duff tax accountants and Kessels Upholsteries have donated to help fund the production costs.

As the student’s regular teacher, he tries to connect with the family to see if there’s anything they need.
program left him on his own in terms of searching for resources. He said Laale became his settlement worker. “He helped me find an emergency dentist,” Magdi said. “I got help looking for work and suggestions on cheap, healthy lunches for Nubi. But more important than all these, is that my kid loved the school and to my amazement, he started to communicate in English in a phenomenally short time and he no longer stuttered.” Now Magdi’s work at OCISO helps other people who are new to the country. The organization does multilingual settlement work, helping clients find housing and work. Laale said Leslie Park is one of the small schools in the Ottawa public board. “Maybe that makes it easier, but staff really pulls together to help the students,” Laale said. Magdi said it was the school as a whole that made his family feel welcome. “They all made it very easy for us at a time when everything seemed difficult and impossible for us,” he said. “They really made me believe that coming to Canada was the best decision I made in my life.” R0022355874

News - A Nepean parent said he wants to thank teachers and staff at Leslie Park Public School for welcoming his family to Canada and helping them get settled in the capital. Magdi Sidahmed came to Canada with his wife and three children last fall. His oldest son, Nubi, started Grade 5 at Leslie Park a few weeks into the first term. Magdi, came to Canada as a federal skilled worker – a federal immigrant program that chooses permanent residents based on their ability to settle and take part in the national economy. He said he was overwhelmed at first dealing with housing, banking and official immigration procedures. “Every little and big daily activity was a dreadful challenge for us,” Magdi said. “I was particularly worried about how the kids will do at schools, especially Nubi, who was 10 years old but knew no English. Back home, lashings and beatings from the teachers and bullying are common. I told him he didn’t have to worry about there here. It is against the law but I don’t think he believed
“Sometimes people are too proud to ask,” he said. “But if there’s strife at home it makes it harder for the students to concentrate in school.” So while Nubi was struggling in class, the staff was helping Magdi by going over his cover letters and resumes, looking for any mistakes in his written English. “We helped him so it would be easier for him to find a job,” Laale said, adding the school is doing the same thing this year for the father of a student from Pakistan. “We also pool our resources as a community,” Laale said. “You’d be amazed at the difference something as small as a bicycle can make – just so they can get around.” Laale said Nubi’s culture shock was so bad last year that at first, he wasn’t sure the 10year-old was taking anything in. “Now there’s a world of difference,” he said of Nubi’s performance in Grade 6. “He’s one of the most dynamic kids in the school.” Magdi, who know works as a counsellor at Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization, said the federal skilled worker immigration

Ecology Ottawa launches tree challenge New initiative looks to plant thousands of trees before 2017 michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - A new initiative launched by Ecology Ottawa aims to combat dying city trees by asking Ottawans to plant thousands in their place. Tree Ottawa is a communitybased project which asks residents, private companies and organizations to help protect the city’s tree canopy by planting, protecting and promoting trees in their neighbourhoods. Over the next three to five years, Ottawa is expected to lose about 25 per cent of its tree canopy thanks to the destruction caused by the emerald ash borer. This initiative is to take a proactive approach to keeping the city’s canopy strong. “We want every residence of the city to plant one tree in the next five years,” said Chris Henderson, an Ottawa businessman and Tree Ottawa supporter. “By 2017, in time for Ottawa to
celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, we’ll have one million trees planted.” Henderson said he attended an event recently where he managed to get 49 individuals to sign up for the cause. Ecology Ottawa officially launched the project at Bingham Park in Lowertown by planting an American basswood tree. Graham Saul, executive director of Ecology Ottawa, said this tree is but one of the many he hopes residents will plant over the next four years. Diana Beresford-Kroeger, an author, botanist and tree expert, and Sarah Harmer, activist and Juno Award-winning musician, helped plant the tree. “I am a tree hugger from way back,” Harmer said. “I am happy to be a part of this initiative.” Beresford-Kroeger told the small crowd who gathered to help plant the tree how important trees are to
an urban landscape. She added she was pleased with the choice of tree being planted and for the program itself. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury also attended the event. “We can not underestimate the importance of our trees,” he said. Henderson and Saul both said the core strength of this initiative comes from neighbourhood participation. “This is the first tree of what we hope will be thousands,” Saul said. He further explained the program is inclusive for anyone interested in participating. Aside from planting new trees, the program also offers participants the opportunity to adopt-a-tree, treating affected ash trees, creating tree ambassadors, promoting edible trees, and creating a “great Ottawa tree map.” Visit ecologyottawa.ca/tree-ottawa for more information about the initiative and how to participate in it.

Community has few reservations about convent project Domicile pressing forward with Main Street retail-condo plans Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Residents in Old Ottawa East seemed mostly pleased with a developer’s vision for the start of a revitalized commercial district on Main Street. Domicile is working to build two L-shaped buildings on the front portion of the 1.4-hectare Sisters of the Sacred Heart site on Main Street between Springhurst Street and Oblate Avenue. The plans include two buildings with ground-floor retail and around 140 condo units on the five upper floors. The plan mostly fits into the vision the neighbourhood helped define as part of its community design plan, said David Renfroe, director for business and planning for Domicile. “Domicile takes a lot of pride in making this work,” he said. “We are putting our best foot forward to make sure that retail corner works with what you guys have envisioned.” A few minor variances will be requested, including a reduction in the visitor parking requirement because the amount of rock under the site means the underground parking garage can only have one level. Residents would access the parking garage from Oblate Avenue. Domicile also wants a slight in-

After showing a more modern, square structure to community members on Oct. 8, developer Domicile and architect Bruno St. Jean began drafted this revision as part of ongoing changes to the design to give it more of a heritage flair. crease in the allowed height of the buildings to make way for higher ceilings in the ground-floor retail on Main Street. Most of the questions and concerns expressed by around 40 residents who attended the meeting focused on the proposal to convert a small section of Springhurst for two-way traffic to allow access to a small interior parking area and loading zone. Renfroe said that the city already allowed that traffic modification to provide parking garage access for a proposed building on Main Street on the other side of Springhurst, and Domicile
wants to extend the two-way section slightly. While the more modern, sparse structure presented on Oct. 8 was very different from the loose sketches of a heritage-style, French-influenced building Domicile presented at a previous meeting, the style of the building did not ruffle any feathers at the meeting. Still, Renfroe said Bruno St. Jean of Neuf Architectes is reworking the design to bring it closer to the original “heritage” vision. “We wanted more time to get the drawings more urban – (to have) a
little more passion and French flair,” Renfroe said. Renfroe said both Domicile and St. Jean were not satisfied with the version presented to the community and it will be a work in progress to ensure the corner at Main Street and Oblate Avenue is a gateway into a new community that will rise on those institutional lands. “We feel that our project is going to be the pulse in the whole development,” Renfroe said. “We want too make sure we do it right.” There was some concern among residents about the possibility of the developer requesting to add an enclosed structure, a “winter reading room,” onto the rooftop terrace. The enclosure would be around 65 square metres and would be set back from the edge of the roof, Renfroe said. Residents seemed comfortable with Domicile president John
Doran’s comments about his approach to retail: he said he sees the desirable retailers in his buildings as a way to boost the cachet of the community and help him sell condos. A restaurant or café patio is tentatively planned on Oblate Avenue off the Main Street corner. The Sisters of the Sacred Heart convent will remain on the back portion of the site at least for another 10 years. Bob McElligot, a partner in the project, said his conversations with the sisters indicate they intend to stay there for some time. The proposal would require some variances but not a full rezoning, so it can move forward rather quickly. Condo sales should begin in the spring, Renfroe said, and construction would likely start on the first building on Main Street next fall. Construction would take at least 18 months.

News - On the heels of the community’s ďŹ rst heritage designation application, the Vanier Community Association is looking at creating its own heritage committee. At an Oct. 9 meeting, association president Mike Bulthuis encouraged members to offer suggestions on how Vanier should approach heritage issues. A request to look into forming a heritage committee came at the association’s September meeting, on the heels of a heritage application that was submitted for St. Charles Church. The idea was briey considered at the time but the executive board decided to defer any decision to the October meeting, where a larger discussion could take place. Setting up a committee solely to help designate, promote and save local heritage in a community is not a new idea. Many community associations have long-standing heritage committees, like in New Edinburgh and Rockcliffe. Other communities, like Lowertown, were created committees after buildings were being threatened or lost to gentriďŹ cation. In Vanier, things are a bit different. There is a neighbourhood heritage keeper, who works alongside Heritage Ottawa, while Museoparc hosts heritage walks and seasonal tours. There are even a few

The Vanier Community Association will seek residents input on whether heritage homes and buildings in Vanier need support by creating a heritage committee. city-designated heritage buildings and homes, but all of this has been done by outside the community association and the decision to create a new committee, with new values and priorities is not being taken lightly by the association’s board members. The board is taking extra care to seek input from residents before taking action. “We should do a call out, and see if there is any interest, that way we could create concrete items to follow up,â€? said board member Kirsten Dull. The top concern is participation and their ability to fulďŹ ll any heritage requests. Board member Dan Shipley pointed out the as-
sociation already has a full agenda for the year and questioned if it would be possible to create and sustain another committee with another list of objectives. Other ideas included reaching out to fellow community groups, such as Vanier BeautiďŹ cation and Museoparc, to see if there could be some way to collaborate. Where and how the committee may ďŹ t in with the association’s list of 2013-14 priorities is still undetermined and the board agreed to make a ďŹ nal decision on creating the committee in December. Residents can contact the board about this or any other issue at vca.acv@gmail.com or by visiting vanier-association.com.

Artists take a stand to raise funds for breast cancer sabine.gibbins@metroland.com
News - A little music goes a long way towards finding a cure. For the seventh year in a row, Babes4Breasts’ annual fundraising concert benefitting breast cancer research is set to take place at Southminster United Church on Oct. 24. The charitable organization is hosting its annual fundraising concert to raise awareness and funds for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Proceeds from the event will go towards the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s music therapy program and the Maplesoft Centre for cancer survivorship care. Since 2007, Babes4Breasts has do-
nated more than $80,000 to a variety of breast cancer-related charities. Founder Ana Miura said this year’s edition will once again feature renowned local and Canadian singers who will perform altogether in a “song circle”, a tradition in folk music. “It’s going to be a great selection of artists,” she said. “We all know each other and have played music with each other over the years.” The fundraiser follows the same outline as in years past, but this year includes two male performers and three female artists – a completely new angle to the event, said Miura, as it previously featured only female performers. The reason of including the male performers is to raise awareness that
breast cancer not only affects women, but also men, said Miura. Although the disease affects less than one per cent of men, according to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, they shouldn’t be forgotten, said Miura. In 2013, approximately 23,800 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 200 cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in men, according to the foundation. “It’s time to recognize that men also get breast cancer,” she said. “It’s not as prevalent, but it does happen. So the fact that we are having men on the bill (on Oct. 24) is completely new for the event. Men are also often the support behind the women, too.” Set to perform are Matthew Barber, James Keelaghan, as well as renowned Ottawa

musician Amanda Rheaume, Miura, and Lyndell Montgomery. The highest honour for a musician, said Miura, is the chance to share their version of the human condition through music or any other art form. This is what the concert strives for, she added. Anchored by the annual benefit concert, Babes4Breasts has raised money for a variety of Breast Cancer related charities including the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, Queensway Carleton Hospital’s Shirley E. Greenberg Breast Imaging Suite, The Canadian Breast Cancer Society and the Canadian Cancer Society. MAKING A DIFFERENCE
In 2003, Miura felt a desire to give back to the community through the power of music. The Nepean resident and musician, who has family and friends who have battled breast cancer, chose music as her method of raising funds and awareness. She reached out to the Ottawa music community, and in her first year invited four other female artists for her first annual-benefit concert, raising $500 for Breast Cancer Action Ottawa. As a young student and busy single mom, the musician hadn’t planned for an annual event. But in 2005, her perspective changed when the mother of one of her oldest friends passed away of breast cancer. “We were standing at the back of the church during the funeral and I had a clear thought: this should not

be happening to anyone,” she said. “We have to do something. I have to do something. That’s when I decided I would start planning Babes4Breasts again.” From that point on, Babes4Breasts began to grow. With the help of her friend Amanda Rheamue, the two set out to plan and perform in concerts across Canada from 2007 until now. Featuring more than 40 artists and touring through 21 different Canadian cities, Babes4Breasts raised more than $50,000 for a variety of charities. In 2010, the benefit concert returned to Ottawa, and Miura focused on local efforts. A year later, they released their first ever compilation album featuring artists from across Canada. In 2012, a second compilation album was released, and a third one has been created and is available for sale. The result of the annual benefit concert is nothing short of rewarding, said Miura, and it in turn inspires others to give back in other ways. “The whole purpose of the event is to have it simply be a caring reflection of the community,” she said. “The concert is really a celebration of all these artists coming together for a great cause. I have a really strong belief that we all need to do something for other people, no matter how small.” In April 2012, Miura was recognized for her efforts on a national level and received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in recognition of her contributions to her community through Babes4Breasts. But, she said, the award belongs to everyone involved in the project. Tickets are available for advance purchase at the Ottawa Folklore Centre, all Compact Music and CD Warehouse locations or online at www. babes4breasts.com. Concert tickets are $20 for advance purchase and $27 at the door. CDs will be available at aforementioned locations as well as all Bridgehead locations during October. Compilations are available for a limited time for 50 per cent off or $10 per copy. For more information, visit www. babesforbreasts.com.

Students learn story of Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Hungarian Jews jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Judith Weiszmann was a 14-year-old girl worried about her family and way of life when her father started working with Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who saved tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews during the Second World War. Weiszmann spoke to students at Merivale High School on Oct. 4 about the bravery of a man who saved her from the fate many of her family members met at Auschwitz. Irv Osterer, head of Merivale’s arts department, said B’Nai Brith paid for Weiszmann to fly to Ottawa, while the school paid her train fare to head to another speaking engagement in Toronto. “We were really lucky,” he said, adding he hoped to show Weiszmann the newly-named Raoul Wallenberg Park on Viewmount Drive. Weiszmann, a retired structural engineer, has given many talks on her experiences and firmly believes she wouldn’t have had the life she did without Wallenberg’s intervention. “He wasn’t Jewish and he was safe in Sweden,” Weiszmann said. “He risked his life to help people he didn’t even know.” Canada Post honoured the diplomat for his humanitarian work with a stamp in January. Weiszmann is depicted on the stamp with Wallenberg, along with a copy of her mother’s Shutz Pass – a document invented by Wallenberg to help give Hungarian Jews safe passage to Sweden. Wallenberg was also the first honorary Canadian citizen, given his citizenship posthumously in 1987. The Germans occupied Hungary in March 1944, but Weiszmann said there always plenty of anti-Semitic sentiment. “Because of the Hungarian Nazi propaganda people welcomed the occupation,” she said. Almost overnight Jews were forced to wear a star sewn onto their clothes. People with trade certificates had to hand in their documentation and were no longer able to practise their careers. “In some cases villages only had one doctor and that doctor was Jewish,” Weiszmann said. “The hate was so strong that people would rather see the general population suffer from lack of medical attention than a have a Jew as a doctor.” The homes of Jews in Budapest were seized and families were forced to share small apartments in a dangerous part of Hungary’s capital city. “There was sometimes more than one family per apartment,” Weiszmann said. “There was only room for a mattress…sometimes not even that.” She added every rule came with the threat of deportation to the camps. But what was happening there was a great secret. People shipped to Auschwitz were forced to write postcards to their families saying they were in a German town that didn’t exist. Often by the time the families received the letters

She said nine months before the war ended it became clear to the Germans that they weren’t going to win. “That’s when the goal changed,” she said. “The main goal became to rid Europe of all the Jews.” That’s when Wallenberg, a Swedish businessman, offered to help. He was given diplomatic status to develop the Shutz Pass, a document made to look like a passport, written in Hungarian and German, which gave the bearer passage to Sweden where they would
be sponsored. When Wallenberg got to Hungary, a business associate of Weiszmann’s father sponsored him and he went to work with Wallenberg at the Swedish Embassy in Budapest. “My father spoke many languages,” Weiszmann said. Originally the plan was to offer refuge to those who had family or friends in Sweden but the movement quickly grew. Weiszmann said it got to the point where Wallenberg would go to the Danube River to claim Jews just before they were shot. “‘You can’t kill my Swedes,’ he’d say,” Weiszmann said. “He was fearless.” In January of 1945 – just months before the end of the war – Wallenberg met with the Russians to ask permission to go into Debrecen, a city in the Soviet Union where he could purchase food and supplies. He left with a military transport and was never seen again. “Before he left he said to my father, ‘I don’t know if these are my body guards or jailers,’” Weiszmann said. She added his story should encourage students to see the difference one person can make. “He was the greatest humanitarian of the 20th century,” Weiszmann said.

Fast-Track to Home Ownership live in the home of their choice from day one as Tenant-Buyers.

Why Rent Canada clients benefit from the services of a real estate agent to help them find the home they deserve. Real Estate Program helps people overcome obstacles to become homeowners. To buy a home today you need a down payment, closing costs and great credit. Sounds simple enough, but to many, the prospect of owning a home seems next to impossible. Scott Temple, owner of Why Rent Canada, has founded his company on the premise that if hardworking people want to make the commitment to homeownership, they deserve the opportunity to do so in a safe and ethical manner. Why Rent Canada offers a Rent-to-Own Program that help people realize their goal of homeownership sooner and safely with professional guidance.

Dear Neighbours, The splendour of fall colours can be seen throughout our City. It is a beautiful time of year and I trust you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends. Fairlawn Plaza/Aaron Avenue Development As many of you may be aware, a parcel of vacant land is planned for development at the Fairlawn Plaza. I was pleased to host an Open House which gave residents in the area the opportunity to look at the developers proposed project and to also voice any concerns they may have. The meeting was well attended and residents provided constructive feedback. If you would like more information on this project, you can call or email our office and we would be pleased to add you to our mailing list. Capital Fall Clean-Up Weekend. A number of local community groups and associations participated in the Fall Clean-Up the Capital initiative. I want to again thank all the volunteers for their dedication, their time and for coming out to help keep our city clean. If you find yourself walking along the Woodroffe Walk in the Woodroffe North community, look up; the City’s first bat house has been installed to help combat mosquitoes and other bugs. Ottawa Community Housing’s Newest Development Carsons Road development in the City’s east end was officially opened and this was a great day for our City as we cut the ribbon and opened the door for 28 families to have a new home. This development highlights the City’s commitment to affordable housing for low income residents. It is part of the City’s $14 million investment to help fight homelessness and provide affordable housing. Carsons Road offers 4, 4-bedroom units allowing larger families more opportunity, many of the units are also built with accessibility in mind. Residents with mobility issues will have the independence to move freely in their homes. The Carsons Road development also includes a purpose built Community House which will offer programming for all residents: like a homework club, computer room, meeting space and a common room to watch movies.
When clients have moved into their ideal home, they receive a free Credit Repair Plan and a Down Payment Savings Plan to help them attain homeownership. And with a portion of each month’s rent credited towards the down payment, saving has never been so easy. Clients no longer have to wait years for everything to fall into place. They get to move in today and buy when they are ready.
Fire Prevention Week I helped launch Fire Prevention Week with Ottawa Fire Chief John deHooge. We are pictured here in Ottawa Fire Service’s new mobile education centre which is capable of simulating a kitchen fire and bedroom fire. You will soon see the education centre at local events. Even though Fire Prevention week is over, I encourage you to practice safety and educate yourself in an effort to keep your family safe. Aging in Ottawa Series I was pleased to take part in the TV series Aging in Ottawa. The program will air on Rogers TV-22. The focus of the program was the City’s Older Adult Plan, why it was developed, what it offers older adults and what the City is doing to move forward with accommodating our City’s aging demographic. You can see the program the week of October 15th and 25th on Tuesdays at 4:30pm and 8:30pm, Thursdays at 9:00pm and Fridays at 4:00pm Spring into Action – Meet Your Services Fairs The City has been hosting fairs specifically for Older Adults. The information they receive is information that they need to keep them healthy, safe and living comfortably in their homes. Last fair of the year: October 24th – at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre Crime Prevention Ottawa Speaker Series This event will highlight a United Neighbours project. Join us to hear the inspiring stories of participants and their suggestions for increasing neighbourhood safety for women and girls. Their work explores the feelings of 16 women and girls on the topic of personal safety in public spaces. The event will feature lifesized, personally crafted canvas “body maps” that visually depict the women’s and girls’ struggles, successes and overall experiences with safety in their communities. The event is being held Thursday, November 14th, 2013 from 8am to 10 a.m. in Jean Pigott Hall, City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West.

Artist’s ordeal impetus behind Kanata Civic gallery show Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Arts - They say artists must suffer for their art. The Kanata Civic Art Gallery’s October feature artist has certainly done that for hers. Tricia Savoie broke her ankle during an outdoor painting session in the middle of October 2010. The ambulance driver cut off her shoe and jeans to realign her ankle, which he did incorrectly, she said. Then she was told she was going to lose her foot. But her doctors managed to save her limb and keep gangrene from setting in. The following month, sporting a cast and in a wheelchair, Savoie had her husband wheel her up a hill so she could continue painting outside. She created three paintings that day, one of them titled “Golden Light – November.” “I couldn’t not paint,” she said about her need to be artistic. “It’s part of my fibre. It’s just in me.” Savoie’s work will be on display in the glass cabinets in front of the gallery for its newest exhibit, titled “Stop! Come In,” which began on Oct. 15 and runs to Nov. 24. “We’re supposed to come up with something that will make people stop and come in,” she said. She hadn’t quite settled on what paintings she would display two weeks prior to the exhibit, only that they would be “dynamic” and “eyecatching.” The gallery is hoping the exhibit will get people to stop by as construction continues on the West District Library.

Creatures of the underworld will be out to scare at this year’s Fury of the Fallen haunted house in support of CHEO. The spooky spectacle is held at the Funhaven facility in Ottawa’s west end.
Undead unleash their fury at CHEO fundraiser
Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - Something is definitely off inside Funhaven’s newly built house of horrors. An ill-used toilet overflows with sticky, red ooze; cockroaches scurry up the walls and the faint impression of desperate, red handprints smudge the doorways. Up ahead, someone screams. Behind, the path is blocked. There is no way out but forward.
This is the warm welcome visitors can expect as they enter Fury of the Fallen, Funhaven’s revamped Halloween spectacle in support of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Previously called Chills for CHEO, the event has been re-imagined and taken to a whole new level of horror, according to Funhaven events manager Tiffany Talbot. “We’ve moved from a kids’ haunt to full-on horror,” she said. “We want to do it at 100 per cent, so it’s the best that it can be.”
She said keeping it to a kid-friendly event limited their ability to adequately scare all ages. Best practices in the industry show that going all-out – making a haunted house as scary as humanly possible – is most effective, she added. Funhaven staff have raised the minimum age this year to 14, although younger kids can enter with their parents’ permission. Talbot said the new event has a full narrative to go with the gimmicks, which makes the experience even
spookier. While she wouldn’t give too much away, she said the plot involves a girl who has gone missing. Visitors form search parties to enter the house where she was last seen. Each room offers its own set of horrors. Sitting rooms, living rooms and nurseries may seem normal at first glance, but the dozens of actors who have volunteered to bring the house to life will quickly demonstrate otherwise.

Public housing wait gets a little shorter Affordable options expand in east end Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - A new affordable housing complex in Ottawa’s east end has made 28 families very comfortable. City officials and Ottawa Community Housing staff
opened the 28-unit Carson Grove community townhomes complex on Oct. 7. The project is an expansion to the Carson’s Road Ottawa Community Housing neighbourhood, where there are already 91 two-, threeand four-bedroom townhomes. Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark attended the opening and was excited the project is completed. “These new homes mean a lot to the community,” Clark
said, “especially to the families. This development here is going to make a difference.” The $4-million project focused on larger, family-sized units includes four, four-bedroom units that are barrier-free and wheelchair accessible. Tammy Haskell and her 23-month-old twin boys, who are moving into one of the new units, said her family was on the city’s housing waiting list for five months. She

said she loves the fact that her boys have the space to move around and play like children should. “This is great,” Haskell said. “It’s a relief to know we live here and the best thing is that I know I have space for my kids.” When it comes to affordable housing in the city, Clark said he is amazed at the constant rise in housing costs and added he wonders how young families manage. “Inflation has made housing unaffordable for a lot of people and we are trying to rectify that,” he said. According to the city, approximately 140,000 households in Ottawa are on low or fixed incomes and for larger families there is a limited supply of affordable housing available. Mayor Jim Watson said this development is part of the city’s $14 million housing and homelessness investment plan approved in 2011. “The city made an unprecedented commitment to address affordable housing in our community by providing new funding dedicated to fighting homelessness and poverty,” Watson said. “This project is

people start to get impatient, thinking you won’t ever get housing,” Haskell said. “But you just have to hold on and be patient. For me, it’s the best thing that has happened in a long time.”

Fifty per cent of ticket sales donated to hospital Continued from page 31
A workshop exhibits the homeowner’s gruesome hobbies; grisly body parts dry along the rafters and fresh projects are laid out on the workbench. Severed heads lash out at visitors and even the library’s seemingly innocent bookshelves offer no reprieve from the torture. This is the first year that the fundraiser has been taken on by Funhaven as a business endeavour, instead of being run separately by Funhaven owner Dave Ellis.
This project is in accordance with the 2008 Transportation Master Plan (TMP) and supports the City of Ottawa’s transportation and growth management objectives by introducing high quality transit service in the area. Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the Transit Project Assessment Process, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) was prepared to document the planned project, the anticipated environmental impacts and the proposed mitigation measures. Go to ottawa.ca/transitconnectstudy for more information. The EPR is now available for a 30-day public review period beginning October 11, 2013 at the following locations: Ministry of the Environment • Environmental Approvals Branch 2 St. Clair Avenue West, Floor 12A, Toronto, ON, M4V 1L5 •

The event has been held at the west-end facility for the past three years, but it was never run as a business, Talbot said. This year, 50 per cent of the ticket sales will be donated to the children’s hospital – regardless of whether the event makes money – while in previous years Ellis donated the net proceeds. “We wanted to prevent any confusion,” Talbot said. “We wanted to be completely upfront.” The event’s name change is meant to distance the haunted house from CHEO, so that all liability lies with the event rather than the hospital. “(CHEO staff) don’t have any control over the haunt and what happens at the haunt,” Talbot said. Fury of the Fallen is located at 1050 Baxter Rd. The haunted house is open Oct. 17 to 20 and Oct. 24 to Nov. 1 from 6 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $10. “I cannot wait to get the people in there and all the sound effects on,” Talbot said. “It’s going to be awesome.” And the undead can’t wait for their first victims to walk through the door.

‘As an artist, I’m trying to educate people’ Continued from page 31
Savoie has been painting since she could stand up and hold a brush, she said. Her mother told her she had talent, but growing up in the ’60s, Savoie opted to go to secretarial school instead of pursuing her passion. Instead, she’d construct crafts with her children as they were growing up. Then, when she turned 44, her mother paid for her to go back to art school. Savoie submersed herself in workshops and drawing classes, absorbing the techniques. “It was a smashing of different things,” she said. “I didn’t really know what I was doing.” She knew what the end result would be, she said, but she didn’t really understand how she got there. “I thought it was really important I knew what I was doing and why,” she explained. She found an art teacher in Montreal who changed her perspective. Savoie was taught intensively in oils, and now understands how she builds a picture. And because she had such a wonderful teacher herself, Savoie now teaches art classes at the Gloucester Senior Adults

Blossom Park resident and Kanata Civic Art Gallery member Tricia Savoie painted ‘Golden Light – November’ from a wheelchair, after breaking her ankle and almost losing her foot while outdoors painting the previous month. Centre and at the Ottawa School of Art at the Shenkman Arts Centre, she said. “I enjoy seeing (my students’) progress. I enjoy seeing the little light bulb go off,” she said. “As an artist, I’m trying to educate people.” Savoie paints mostly landscapes, and tries to do as much “plein air” painting as possible, she said. When she can’t get outside to paint, she works in her studio from photographs she’s taken. “I love to be outside painting,” said Savoie. “I try to paint
every day.” Savoie joined the Kanata gallery in 2000, after moving to south Ottawa’s Blossom Park neighbourhood from Montreal, as a way to meet other artists and people in the city. She also belongs to the Artworkz Gallery on Murray Street, and is a member of the Ottawa Art Association and the East Central Ontario Artists Association. The Kanata Civic Art Gallery is located in the Mlacak Centre at 2500 Campeau Dr., and is open while the building undergoes construction.
Ingredients
• 750 g (1-1/2 lb) beef flank marinating steak • 25 ml (2 tbsp) rice vinegar • 2 green onions, thinly sliced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 50 ml (1/4 cup) soy sauce • 15 ml (1 tbsp) finely minced fresh gingerroot • 15 ml (1 tbsp) sesame oil • 15 ml (1 tbsp) cornstarch • 15 ml (1 tbsp) dark brown sugar • 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil • 1 large carrot, sliced • 500 ml (2 cups) chopped broccoli • 1/2 red pepper, finely chopped • 1 red onion, thinly sliced • 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) sliced mushrooms, such as white button,
cremini or shiitake Preparation
Using a sharp knife, slice the beef against the grain into thin, angled slices and set them aside. In a medium bowl, combine the rice vinegar, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, ginger and sesame seed oil. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and brown sugar and then blend it evenly into the soy mixture. Toss the beef slices with the marinade to coat evenly. Refrigerate the beef for at least four hours or, preferably, overnight. In a large, heavy-bottomed non-stick skillet or wok, heat
the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef mixture and distributing it in the pan in single layer (or cook it in two batches to avoid crowding). Turn the heat up to high and cook, stirring occasionally, for two to three minutes or until it is beginning to brown. Remove the meat and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the carrot, broccoli, red pepper, red onion and mushrooms for five minutes, stirring constantly, or until the vegetables are slightly softened. Return the meat and any accumulated juices to the skillet and stir over heat to combine Foodland Ontario

Conflict of interest watch dog proposed for Action Sandy Hill Bylaw change would see board members asked to come clean four times per year Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Sandy Hill’s community association is considering putting a conflict of interest watch dog in place. The watch dog would monitor board members throughout the year to ensure at no time is the board breaching its conflict of interest bylaws. “The conflict of interest officer can see if the person’s ability to participate is impeded by conflict,” said Michael Marin, a board member and chairman of the governance committee. “This will let people know up front whether they feel that a board member can properly represent the board.” The board is reviewing its conflict of interest policy because of a motion brought forward at its annual general meeting in May. Doug Ainslie, a resident who at the time was seeking election to the board, put forward a motion regarding con-
flict of interest, specifically calling on any board member who could stand to gain financially from a particular issue to recuse themselves from the board, or the issue at hand. Many residents called into question the motion, which was ultimately turned down, but the board promised to review its current wording and revise the conflict of interest policy. The governance committee was subsequently created and was working on revising the policy over the summer months. Members of the committee even went as far as reaching out to other community associations in the city, the federal government and other cities to see how they handle the issue. The draft policy was presented to the board at its September meeting. Aside from creating a conflict of interest officer, the draft policy proposes having board members and board nominees fill out a mandatory
File
An Action Sandy Hill meeting back in May was when changes to the community group’s conflict of interest bylaw was initially discussed. questionnaire declaring potential conflicts. The questionnaire would be a reoccurring item, to reevaluate board members’ conflicts as the year goes on. Marin said this was the best answer for the issue, but many board members found fault with the policy, calling into question the amount of scrutiny a volunteer board should subject itself to. “Let’s be honest, every-
one is at risk of a potential conflict,” said board member Sophie Beecher. “There are some of us who work at the university, own rental property or oppose a development because you think it will devalue your home. I am afraid this is a little too much like a witch hunt.” Long-time board member John Verbaas agreed, saying defining conflicts is complicated, because people attend
PET OF THE WEEK
meetings based on issues which arise. Marin said this policy would help define these questions. “We need a process. Right now there is no process,” he said. In Sandy Hill, an area feeling the pressures from infill development, student housing and other development applications, some home owners have purchased homes to either combat the development or control it, leading to what some members of the community felt at the annual general meeting was inappropriate activity. The extra precautions, according to Marin, are to ensure the association is not liable or vulnerable to being sued. “We felt that without this kind of mechanism we wouldn’t be able to properly function,” he said. Vice president Chad Rollins expressed his discontent with the mandatory questionnaire at the meeting, saying if it was a voluntary he would be happy to participate. “If this was made mandatory, I would step down,” Rol-
lins said. The questionnaire, Marin explained would only be available to the conflict of interest officer -- a volunteer who would not sit on the board. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury agreed the group did need to have a code of ethics, but to keep in mind at the end of the day, everyone helping is volunteering their time. “You guys are a bunch of volunteers trying to help,” Fleury said. “People are giving their time and want the best. We are a community that is in need of volunteers.” Rollins agreed. “Most people don’t have to do this at their job,” he said. “It seems too onerous/” Rollins said he would prefer if there was a simply document board members needed to sign. The board has decided to seek input from residents and potentially hold a community meeting to discuss the matter further before voting on the draft policy. Residents can contact Action Sandy Hill at ash-acs.ca for more information about the new conflict of interest policy or to send comments.
Pet Adoptions
Chief ID# A159280
Meet Chief, a seven-year-old, neutered male, American foxhound who was brought to the Ottawa Humane Society as a stray on Aug. 3. He’s now available for adoption. Like a typical hound, he likes to get to know his environment by smelling around. He’s a social boy with an independent side, he loves to meet new people, but is content with taking a nap alone on his dog bed. Chief would rather not be a couch potato. He’s not ready to slow down anytime soon, so he will need adequate physical and mental stimulation to keep his body and mind healthy! Chief would love the opportunity to participate in obedience classes to learn all his commands.
Visit the OhS website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of all of the animals available for adoption. Stop by the Adoption Centre, weekdays 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sundays 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Celebrate Adopt a Shelter Dog Month by Bringing home an OHS dog
This sweet furface is a Coton de Tulear, a very, very smart pooch whose ancestors lived on the isle of Madagascar three centuries ago. Today this pup is considered royalty over there - even had his face on a Madagascar postage stamp! Our Finnegan wears a fur coat the colour of new snow, a soft coat the texture of coton. Shaggy, windblown hair falls over big black eyes. Finnie has a sweet and droll little voice. He chortles, utters tiny musical snorts and rumbles with joy on good sunny days. He loves to run, does mighty leaps and a clever little dance on his hind paws. This boy is a kisser, a love bug, a sharer of small chewed bones and favorite toys. With bright eyes and cocked head Finnigan applies himself to learning people talk - and I do believe he’s succeeeding! Never mind the fluffy stuffed toy look, our little guy is hardy. He is comfortable in snow, rain or in my bed on a warm duvet. He only wants to be with you and make you enjoy life as he does every single day. Fun and endearing, Cotons are known as the antidepressant dogs! Do you think your pet is cute enough to be “THE PET OF THE WEEK”? Submit a picture and short biography of your pet to find out!

saving medical care and made the right choice to surrender them to the OHS. Ultimately, these aren’t problem dogs – they were dogs with people problems. Now they’re just waiting for the right adopter to pass by. It’s important to note that choosing to adopt from the OHS isn’t only about giving a shelter dog a home; OHS dogs are frequently in high-demand so there’s no hard-sell needed. There are, however, tangible financial benefits to choosing an OHS dog. (It’s not just about the slobbery kisses!) Your OHS dog is: • spayed or neutered • microchipped • medically checked

• vaccinated • insured for six week with Petsecure That’s adds up to a savings of an estimated $726 when compared to the cost of a “free” puppy from a friend or colleague. So, this October, if you’ve been thinking about adding a furry sidekick to your family, consider stopping by the 245 West Hunt Club Rd. facility to visit Dodger, Chief, Bronx, or one of the many other wonderful dogs at the OHS. You just might find that perfect canine match to help you celebrate Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! Visit our website for more information at www.ottawahumane.ca.

Choosing to adopt a dog from the Ottawa Humane Society means different things to different people: a new family member, a best friend, running buddy, fellow couch potato. But to the dog who’s going to a new forever home, it means the chance for a happy, comfortable and fulfilling life, thanks to you. The OHS has many wonderful dogs, from purebred puppies to senior mixed breeds, who wound up in shelter through no fault of their own – maybe it was due a new baby or the move to an apartment that doesn’t allow pets. For some, it happened when their previous owner couldn’t afford life-

Aries, avoid making promises unless you intend to keep them. If you cannot commit your time or effort, then explain the situation rather than backing out later. Others view you in an entirely different light than you view yourself, Taurus. Consider their perspectives and keep an open mind. It might just help you grow as a person. Many ideas are running through your head, Gemini. But you have to stick with one idea and go with it. Though this may seem like trying to find a needle in a haystack, the focus will pay off. Someone puts all of their faith in you this week, Cancer. Don’t be nervous about living up to their expectations. Just operate the way you always do and things will work out. Leo, a number of things keep you occupied this week. The only difficulty will be narrowing down exactly what you want to do. Give this decision the attention it deserves. Virgo, no matter how many times you voice your opinion, there seems to be one person who just doesn’t seem to catch on to your line of thinking. Accept such differences of opinion.
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Libra, sometimes you put blinders on to situations that make you uncomfortable. It is your way of coping. But this week you need to keep your eyes wide open. Scorpio, you do not have the patience for puzzles this week. Encourage coworkers and family members to be as concise as possible when declaring their intentions. Sagittarius, this week you will have to do a number of things on your own. Make the most of this situation, as it might just prove to be a good test of character. A change of scenery could provide the change in perspective you need right now, Capricorn. The trouble is finding the right time to get away. Plan a weekend trip if you can manage it. Aquarius, even though you may not relish the role, you often have to be the voice of reason. Express yourself clearly but take others’ ideas into consideration as well. Channel all of your creative ideas into one big project, Pisces. Once you have taken that initiative, the project will take off.
